File:Downtown2020Cover.png Un-Deletion

File:Downtown2020Cover.png was designed/made by me "InScane" as the producer of the film "Downtown" as shown on the IMDB site.. All rights are under InScane Media which I "InScane" am the Founder & CEO of.. Anything needed Ill prove it with LLC Documents if needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by InScaneMystery (talk • contribs) 15:04, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

 Not done: In addition to our requirement that previously published works have additional evidence of permission, indeed per Jim, this is self-promotion from yet another sock of a non-notable (and likely non-existent) project (i.e., COM:NOTHOST regardless of copyright.). --Эlcobbola talk 17:19, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose Aside from the copyright question, which must be answered, this image is not sharply focused -- we have 72 images of this car and I don't think we need this one. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:40, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

 Not done: This image has appeared elsewhere on the internet (e.g., here) in a higher resolution; accordingly, the Commons version cannot have been the original publication.

File:MGB Rodzaevsky.jpg

A file falling under Russian law was deleted with reference to US lawmakers. Please restore. Kolchak1923 (talk) 07:42, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose First, we do not know that it is PD in Russia because we do not know when it was first published. The law in Russia is that works of unknown authors are under copyright for 70 years after the first publication.

However, that question is moot. Even if it were published in 1946, the year it was created, it would be under Russian copyright until 1/1/2017. Commons policy requires that images must be free in both the country of origin (Russia) and the USA. In order for an image to be PD in the USA, the URAA requires that images must have been PD in the country of origin before January 1, 1996. Therefore, the earliest that this image will be free of US copyright is 95 years after publication, or 1/1/2042 if it can be proven that it was published in 1946.

I also note that you have uploaded the image for a third time. Such action is a serious violation of Commons rules. if you do it again, you will be blocked from editing on Commons. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:03, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

These image were not artworks but standard officially made police photos of arrested persons. There is nobody who holds the copyright. It would be absurd to claim that it is held by the policeman who took the picture. Deletion of the picture for copyright issues is totally unwarranted. Kolchak1923 (talk) 12:43, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

It is well established on Commons that mug shots have a copyright. Whether it belongs to the actual photographer or to the police department varies from place to place, but they are certainly copyrighted. As far as I know, the only mug shots that are PD when created are those taken by departments of the US Federal government -- all works by US Federal government employees are PD. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:33, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Then this is part of the official document, since the image is glued to the arrest protocol. Kolchak1923 (talk) 15:09, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Whether glued to an official document or not, the image is still assumed to be protected by copyright under US law, and not free licensed, and, therefore, cannot be hosted on Wikimedia Commons until it enters public domain in the United States. Furthermore, it appears that you have already locally uploaded the image to Russian Wikipedia ru:Файл:MGB_Rodzaevsky.jpg. --Ìch heiss Nat ùn ìch redd e wenig Elsässisch!Talk to me in EN, FR, PL, GSW-FR(ALS). 18:24, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
In your USA, it will never be free, as it is not related to its legislation. The law of Russia is in effect here. Uploaded during this discussion. A featured article cannot be without an image. If the image is restored here, I will put it there for deletion. Kolchak1923 (talk) 09:42, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose The poster is copyrighted and cannot be kept on Commons without a free license from its creator. Please note that claiming {{Own work}} when you are not actually the creator of the work is a serious violation of Commons rules and makes it very difficult to believe anything you may say in the future. .     Jim . . .

File: Ababeel official logo.jpg

I am researching on a organization, who is well known and covered by National Media, it is a charitable organization. The file I uploaded is their official logo. If we write an article about and charitable organization or NGOs, I don't think we need any license to use their logo as their official logo to show in Wikipedia article. Like in biographies of actors, cricketers etc we show their signature. So it is not a big issue. For now I have asked them for permission to use, they said you can use for fair purpose. It is not a big issue at all.

Kindly undelete the logo file as soon as possible. For draft article you can check Draft:Ababeel on Wikipedia

— Preceding unsigned comment added by TheChunky (talk • contribs) 07:47, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose Your comments above are an argument for Fair Use. Fair Use is not possible on Commons, but may be permitted on WP:EN. The logo cannot be restored here without a free license from an authorized official of the charity via OTRS.

Your mention of signatures is not a good analogy -- most signatures do not have a copyright. Many logos, including this one, do have a copyright. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:48, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Trying to discover any problem with it so I may correct it ,many notification had been sent by email but without enough explanation ,I may need more time to do myself — Preceding unsigned comment added by Haleemwitwit (talk • contribs) 09:22, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose The reason for deletion given at Commons:Deletion requests/File:حساب مساحة البناء لمشاريع الآبنية في بلدية أبو ظبي.pdf is that the file is not useful for any educational purpose. Although I do not read Arabic, from the English in the file, I think that is probably correct.

Jim deleted this File:Map of Al-Muizz Street.jpg i don't know why, just because some one nominated for deletion without even discussed with me (the original uploader). However this file represent my own work and design and i would like it to be restored as it was deleted by an admin mistake.--Muhammad adel007 (talk) 12:05, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

File:자100.png

This file and other was deleted because of Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Junoism. It is in use in ko.wiki and I am trying to move all free files to Commons.

So if you could undelete this file and the other files in that request I can check them.

Files like it is now located in Category:Bar chart elements for Korean Wikipedia and there are supposed to be 7 in a set. Some sets are incomplete and once I moved the last files it is possible to see if any of the files should be deleted again. --MGA73 (talk) 12:44, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

 Support I would have guessed that there was a better way to do this (see 틀:막대 for an example). However, as MGA73 says, they are in use, or could be put to use there. Are you sure you don't want all of them restored? .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:17, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

File:Filip_Rehacek_05_LeMans_2019_CEV_Saturday-72827.jpg

Im allowed to post this picture, this photo was taken to order. Please, give me advice how to make it done. Thank you

  • This is an out-of-process recreation of File:05 LeMans 2019 CEV Saturday-72827.jpg (which itself has been deleted twice due to an out-of-process recreation). I've thus deleted it as such per COM:CSD#G4, and  Oppose restoration of either file. The EXIF credit as author and copyright holder "Vaclav Duska Jr."; permission must come from Duska directly. Alternatively, as you variously claim "my client has rights" [1] and "this photo was taken to order" [2]: 1) you are not the author and 2) your "client" is not the author. Evidence of conveyance of copyright to your client is needed. Эlcobbola talk 18:17, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Bonjour, Je suis l'auteur de cette œuvre numérique que je souhaite partager le plus librement possible. Cette œuvre unique, originale et personnelle illustre un concept très actuel : repousser le mur, l'obstacle que chacun de nous se doit de repousser... pour évoluer, pour vivre libéré. Cette image a toute sa place sur wikimedia. Bien cordialement. Jean Toba — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jean toba (talk • contribs) 10:10, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose There are two problems here. First, we do not keep art from artists who are not "notable". While I see the web site jeantoba.media, I see little other evidence on Google that you are notable. There is no WP article, in French or English. You must convince us of your notability.

Second, the image appears on the web site without a free license. Therefore, in order to restore it, you must send a free license using OTRS, also confirming that User:Jean toba is actually Jean Toba who owns the web site and not an imposter. When you have done that, we will make a note on your user page which will eliminate the difficulty for any future uploads. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:04, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose It is signed in the lower left corner. Therefore it is not anonymous and the copyright lasted:

  • for fifty years if the author died before 1941
  • for sixty years thereafter.

Therefore if the author died after 1941, it was under copyright on the URAA date. We cannot assume that the author of a 1931 work died within ten years after creating it. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:04, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi,

I work for the Open Knowledge Foundation and we updated our logos and branding in early 2020 (see blogpost).

So I uploaded these files to commons.wikimedia.org so that I could then link the new logos to the Open Knowledge Foundation page on Wikidata.

Now I would like to appeal the decision to remove these images or enquire about what different steps I should follow in order to add these images. — Preceding unsigned comment added by StephenAbbott (talk • contribs) 15:03, 29 April 2020‎ (UTC)

Hello Patrick, You removed my picture because you thought it is a picture of NHnieuws. That's a mistake. NHnieuws got the picture from me. They have my permission to use it. See our website about Truus Wijsmuller: hvalkmaar.nl and https://www.facebook.com/truusalkmaar.

@Jameslwoodward: For images of the sort "a news agency used my photo", I don't think sending them to OTRS without further instructions is a good idea, as it is very likely the permission statement will be rejected due to an unconfirmed email address. Instead we should talk to the user and find out the best way for them to prove their authorship. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:14, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
King of Hearts, you are not here at UnDR very often, else you would know that is an absolutely standard response to this situation. The OTRS volunteer is in a much better position that we are to decide whether the upload is legitimate or not. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:28, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
It may be standard, but is it ideal? We still need more details, but it could be the case that a simple change to the website would do. I maintain that we should not send people to OTRS unless we are reasonably sure that OTRS is required. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 15:14, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
Ideal, no, absolutely not. There are many things we could do to be more newbie friendly if we had more volunteer time to do them. The problem here is that there are convincing liars out there that will say anything to get an image on Commons. OTRS has several fundamental advantages over discussion here:
  • the private environment encourages people to be more open
  • the interaction is one-on-one
  • the e-mail address may help verify the user's identity
  • e-mail attachments may also help
I do agree, that asking the user to upload a full camera resolution image with EXIF and asking the user to have the image freely licensed at the site we object to is something we could do more often. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:37, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
@LeenSpaans48: Looking at your image, I don't see any camera info in the EXIF data. What model of camera did you take the photo with? Do you have the ability to modify either hvalkmaar.nl or https://www.facebook.com/truusalkmaar? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:14, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

I uploaded all the best photos of my dad, then someone decided to delete them. Please put them back up. I put them there so the pictures could be shared. There is no reason why they should be deleted. I tried to ask the guy who "nominated" them for deletion to stop. but he erased them anyway. Please undo this. It is ridiculous I have to keep asking. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JakeNady (talk • contribs) 03:34, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@Nat: The picture is on another site simply because I put it up on my Dad's facebook page before a friend of mine said it would be a good idea to put it on wiki commons. So I did, along with a few other photos I had of my dad... on my phone... that I TOOK. I don't understand your motivation to remove files and accuse me of not taking them. I should be believed. I can get him on the phone if that's what you need, but in most cases I should be assumed to be telling the truth. Nobody has made a claim to have taken them, as they haven't. Because I took them as I've mentioned before. The burdon of proof should be on the one making the accusation, not the defendant. You have it all backwards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JakeNady (talk • contribs) 02:19, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

@JakeNady: The policy is clear: If the image was previous published, then (1) responsibility is yours to provide evidence that you are the photographer or copyright holder, and (2) you will need to send an email to OTRS using this template (click here). Otherwise, the image cannot and will not be restored. Send the email, answer the requisite questions and inquiries the OTRS agent will ask, and only then will the image have a chance of being restored. It's that simple.
If you don't, well, there's nothing we can do, and the images will certainly not be restored. The choice is yours. --Ìch heiss Nat ùn ìch redd e wenig Elsässisch!Talk to me in EN, FR, PL, GSW-FR(ALS). 03:22, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
@JakeNady: Please explain then why that photo can be seen here. We had told you to send an email to the OTRS team to prove that you are the copyright holder of the photos, but it seems you're unwilling to listen. pandakekok9 03:41, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

 Not done: Per our rules, the uploader needs to provide evidence for any free licences where an image has already been published before. Please see COM:OTRS for instructions. Once we have received a permission by email and such email has been processed by our team of volunteers, the files will be restored automatically. --De728631 (talk) 08:06, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Good day!

This picture is in my own propriety,as my father is present in it,so he owns a personal copy. I kindly ask for you to undelete this picture,as you deleted it without a good reason.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adrian Ro.Hu (talk • contribs) 12:27, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose Owning a paper or digital copy of a photograph does not give you or your father the right to freely license it. That right is held by the photographer in almost all cases.

In the file description, you claimed that you were the actual photographer. Your comment above and the look of the image makes that extremely unlikely. Making incorrect claims of authorship is a serious violation of Commons rules. It makes it hard to believe anything you say and may lead to your being blocked from editing here.

In order for the image to be restored here, the actual photographer, or his heir, must send a free license using OTRS. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:44, 30 April 2020 (UTC)


Good evening, I just said that I photographed that photo,not that I was the photographed of the pictured photo. It was used in numerous newspapers of that period(Communist period-1986),and we are not sure who the photograph was.And I do not think that it would be possible to contact the owner,as the person might be deceased,or not present on the media. P.S. I would require some help for my future OTRS and copyright approvals,as some explanations are quite ambiguous to be fair. Adrian Ro.Hu (talk) 18:00, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

I, and most other Commons Admins, would be happy to answer any questions you may have -- just write a note on my talk page. Or, you can use The Village Pump. As I said above, in order for the image to restored it is essential that the photographer himself give a free license. If that is not possible, then it cannot be kept on Commons. .     Jim . . .

 Oppose Wikipedia has strict rules which prohibit your writing your own article -- any contributions you make to it are subject to immediate deletion there.

As for the Commons photo, it was deleted as a personal photo of someone who had made no contributions here or to any other WMF project. Commons is not Facebook and we do not keep such images. You claim that you were the actual photographer, but it does not look like a selfie, so that may not be correct. Also, it is small and has no EXIF, so we have to wonder where you got it. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:48, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Muhammad adel007

Some photos in this discussion was nominated for deletion i don't know why. these photos was extracted from another already published photos. i am not able now to determine the name of these photos because they no longer exist. i mentioned that in the discussion but my statement were neglected.--Muhammad adel007 (talk) 19:45, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

?? All of the file names are in the lists at Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Muhammad adel007.

Egyptian law provides that created works are under copyright for 50 years after the creator's death or, in the case of anonymous works, 50 years after the work was published. Therefore, in order to be PD on 1/1/1996 and avoid the URAA copyright, a photograph must have been created no later than 12/31/1945. As far as I know, none of the photographs in the list meet that test. In fact, there is no proof that any of the anonymous photographs were published before 1969 and they are therefore probably still under copyright in Egypt as well as in the United States.

You mentioned "extracted photos from already published photos on commons" in your comments on the DRs but did not list them. It is customary on Commons for extracted files to use "(crop)" after the original file name to name an extracted file. You cannot expect anyone else to search through 129 files for extractions if you do not yourself say which ones they are. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:35, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@Muhammad adel007: Your mistake is that published is not the same as created. The photo creation date is irrelevant. You need to prove that the photos were published (eg. in a book, newspaper, magazine or a folder) in Egypt before 1981. @Jameslwoodward: current Egyptian law is not retroactive, see {{PD-Egypt}}.

 Neutral I think it could be argued either way. They would be copyrightable in Britain but possibly not in the United States.

File:Nagyvasútállomásnál. Tatai buszjáratok, térkép. - Komárom-Esztergom megye, Tata.JPG

Hello. I'd like to ask for the file and information board category content to be undeleted, based on the former decision outdoor permanently installed information boards are covered by COM:FOP Hungary. The file I loaded up with self|cc-by-sa-3.0 license after undeleted April 15, 2017‎ by an admin switched to Licensed-PD|1=FoP-Hungary|2=self|cc-by-sa-3.0 with the following Edit summary: 'You should all others license change'. This file,-and the other deleted,-are parts of a information board. This photo is a derivative work, part of File:Nagyvasútállomásnál. Tata várostérkép. - Komárom-Esztergom megye, Tata.JPG file. My guess it is same case as Berlin-Falkenberg Naturschutzgebiet Falkenberger Rieselfelder Lage des Gebietes and Berlin-Falkenberg Naturschutzgebiet Falkenberger Rieselfelder Informationstafel an den Rieselfeldern. Sincerely, - - Globetrotter19 (talk) 10:31, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

@Globetrotter19: You do not refer to the reasoning in the underlying DR. Your photo is a clear DW of the map: so you need to prove that the map is free in order to grant a free license for your photo. And why do you think that Hungarian FoP should be applied to a map located in Berlin? Unlike Hungarian FoP, German FoP does not restrict types of works that are not protected while in public. Ankry (talk) 13:19, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose I am surprised and unhappy to have to say that I agree with the deletion. The text of the Hungarian law is narrowly drawn:

Section 68 (1) Taking and using an image of a work of fine art, architecture and applied art creation that is permanently exposed outdoors shall not require the consent of the author and shall be free of charge.

The definitions are:

Section 1 (1) This Act shall protect literary, scientific and artistic creations.
(2) All literary, scientific and artistic creations, whether or not specified by this Act, shall be protected by copyright. Such creations shall be in particular
(a-g) not relevant
h) creations produced by drawing, painting, sculpting, engraving, lithography or by any other similar means as well as their designs,
i) photographic works,
j) maps and other cartographic creations,
k) architectural works and their designs, as well as the designs for complexes of buildings and urban architecture,
l) designs for technical structures,
m) applied art works and their designs,

It seems to me that for the purposes of section 68, (h) is "fine art", (k) is "architecture", and (m) is "applied art". Since maps and photographs are listed separately, they are not included in Hungarian FoP.

And, I agree with Ankry -- the German FoP law is much broader. It covers any copyrighted work as long as it is permanently located in an appropriate place. Therefore it is not relevant to the discussion of a Hungarian image. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:40, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Even we categorized as map legally these are not map. Here is a Hungarian lawyer opininon. We got in 2017 when discussed the legal status of the information board related maps on Hungarian wikipedia. The releted parts of the HUNGART expert opinion letter are:
Esetünkben a térkép megjelölés végképp nem ad eligazítást, hiszen itt képgrafikai alkotás született, amelyet térképnek is lehet használni..
...elsősorban inkább gyönyörködtet, mint tájékoztat, bár ez utóbbit is lehetővé teszi...
Translation: In our case, the map name does not give any guidance, as a graphic work was created here, that can also be used as a map.
primarily pleasing rather than informing, though it allows the latter as well
Roughly, these works (information boards with map), legally are not maps, but can be used as map.
BTW if we decide tourist Hungarian information board files are not covered by fop probably no bad idea a No UPloads template placed on the category site, to avoid further discussions.
Sorry for the grammatical errors. Sincerely, - - Globetrotter19 (talk) 15:04, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
I don't read Hungarian and there certainly may be translation difficulties here, but it would be called a "Route Map" in English -- see for example https://www.transitchicago.com/maps/. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:37, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Sorry I not understood former. Language difficulties.

Sincerely, - - Globetrotter19 (talk) 19:11, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
My assessment is based on COM:FOP Hungary which says that the legal provisions were updated to 2019. There is an explicit list of objects that are eligible for FOP, namely fine arts, architecture and applied art.

File:DSC1021-2.jpg

I am requesting the undeletion of the file mentioned in the headline. I am the author of that photo that was shot at Raphael private home in 2016 at the occasion of the publication of his book "Retourner à la mer" which was to receive the very prestigious "prix Goncourt" for short stories. I authorized the artist to use this portrait at his convenience, that is why you could find it on a Franceinter page, as it was probably used by other web site with the artist permission. But I am the only owner of the copyright and of the original raw file and I can prove it. Therefore I would appreciate if you could undelete this file as soon as possible. Thank you in advance.

  • The issue of folklore is irrelevant. Works on the Commons must be free in both the US and country of origin. Whatever the country of origin may consider, the US cares only that the author contributed something original, recognizably their own; such a contribution even to a "traditional" work or to "folklore" would generally be sufficient for copyright to attach. That said, however, this meets only one of our COM:DM guidelines ("X cannot be removed from the file without making the file useless"); related to that point, however, I think the genuine subject is the person, with the headdress merely incidental (i.e., the latter analogous to the label in Ets-Hokin v Skyy Spirits Inc.)

File:Dr. Ruja Ignatova.jpg

This image was deleted by Jianhui67 on suspicious Flickr license, but either by mistake or not the deletion have ignored that the image was published by the owner company themselves. Since it has been published by the owner under a free license the image should not have been deleted. The main problem is that the proof has disappeared since (considering that one owner is in jail and the other disappeared that's not a surprise) and the admin politely not answered the question about the deletion but sent me over here.

I could undelete it but I would like to ask someone else, especially that now I cannot just show direct proof. As a disclaimer: I am not involved or interested in pro or con, I just noticed that the article is missing an image and one seems to be legally available. Thanks. --grin ✎ 19:51, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose "One of the biggest scams in history." For background, see OneCoin. The web site, www.onecoin.eu comes up with a Google Phishing warning. Since I do not want to go to a site that Google warns me off of, I didn't go there. Although the DR says that the web site refers to the Flickr account, I couldn't verify that, so we have no evidence that the Flickr account belongs to the company. Even if it does, given the complany's questionable history, I'm not sure we want to accept their assertion that they hve the right to freely license this portrait. .     Jim . . .

 Support Well, this archived version of the page confirms that https://www.flickr.com/photos/134729469@N04/ was their official Flickr account. So the deletion nomination is based on false assumption. I think that pinging the deleting admin is pointless. Ankry (talk) 13:04, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

On the one hand, as I said above, given that the company is apparently full of bad actors on a monumental scale, I'm not sure we should accept their assertion on Flickr that they have the right to freely license this portrait. On the other hand, the subject is on the run from being wanted in a number of different countries, so posting an image of her might help catch up with her.

If you can edit the Aislelabs blog post, the easiest way would be if you granted a cc-by-sa-4.0 licence for the image over there. A simple footnote with a licence statement at that website would suffice, and you could then reupload the image here with a link to the Aislelabs blog post.

But when I found the my pics had been deleted in the page and asked me to stop the copy right violation, I found the problem. So i reuploaded the same pic, renamed the pics and delared to give up the copyrights of these pics. But again, i got the notice of possible copy right violation, and my pics had been deleted again.

File:Coin-2euro-commemorative-2.png

I am unsure if it is {{Money-EU}} or {{Money-FR}}, but in either case it is in public domain. ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 12:34, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Neither of the two templates are applicable. Money-EU is for Euro banknotes only, and Money-FR is for the Francs currency. The national sides of Euro coins, however, are copyrighted and non-free. De728631 (talk) 13:14, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
  •  Comment COM:CUR European Union states "National side may not be acceptable. Copyright of the national side of the coin is determined by the individual Member States in accordance with national legislation.".
If the coin was issued by France, according to the French Monetary and Financial Code: "Banknotes and coins benefit from the protection established for the benefit of intellectual works by articles L. 122-4 and L. 335-2 of the intellectual property code . The issuing authorities are vested with the rights of the author [(i.e. copyright)]"
That being said, the Court of Cassation ruled that "the function of legal payment method devolving to banknotes, issued and put into circulation for this purpose by the Banque de France, a public administrative establishment, their allocation to the general interest and the public service nature of the operations concerned "rendered incompatible" the exercise of this sovereign activity and the protection claimed by the applicant" In short, per COM:CUR France: case law states that copyright exists, but is paralysed by the ‘allocation to the general interest and character of public service’ of currency. It's not a stretch to say that this ruling would cover also cover coins issued by the Monnaie de Paris ("Paris Mint").
I could be wrong, of course, which means feel free to disregard my comments . --Ìch heiss Nat ùn ìch redd e wenig Elsässisch!Talk to me in EN, FR, PL, GSW-FR(ALS). 19:04, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Nat, a question and a comment. First, was this court case with respect to the Franc or the Euro? -- I ask because {{Money-FR}} quotes a similar case which would not necessarily apply to the Euro. I think that's particularly a question because, as we know, other Euro coins are copyrighted on the national side and circulate in France, so the incompatibility mentioned in the ruling exists with other Euro coins. Comment -- I am not so sure that it is an easy leap from a ruling about notes to the question of coins. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:32, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

  • Jim, the ruling concerns the Franc, in which the Bank of France was the applicant and lost. However, it seems that the ruling was broader than just applying to the Bank of France, and their reasoning seems to do with the fact that the BdF is "a public administrative establishment". The Paris Mint was previously a department of the Ministry of the Economy and Finance but became autonomous in 2007, becoming a "public industrial and commercial establishment" as opposed to "a public administrative establishment". So, you maybe right, and there may be doubts that the ruling applies.
On the other hand, as coins are currency (there may be some differing opinions and positions on this), the Court's position of copyright exists, but is paralysed by the ‘allocation to the general interest and character of public service’ of currency may apply. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If doubts exist, then the file should remain deleted per COM:PCP. --Ìch heiss Nat ùn ìch redd e wenig Elsässisch!Talk to me in EN, FR, PL, GSW-FR(ALS). 21:06, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi there,

I have uploaded the file ИванКопчев.jpg to wikipedia few months back and just realised it had been deleted - thus I'd like to get it undelted please.

The file in question ИванКопчев.jpg is a photograph of my grand father and was featured in this wiki article https://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/Иван_Копчев.


As per my understanding since the supplied photograph is under my ownership (I have scanned the physical photograph) I give permission for it to be published. This again has not been copied from any media/site/etc. but is a actual photograph that hangs on my wall :). Furthermore this is a portrait and the true identity of my late grandfather.

id Software and John Romero

requested file: **File:Romero 3designers.jpg**

Hello, I was looking at File:John Romero 2004.jpg and saw its information that says:

Description The day the hair was cut off.
Source Own work
Author Romero

File uploaded first to English Wikipedia → Image:Small_romero_head.jpg :

  • (del) (cur) 06:28, 12 March 2004 . . Romero (Talk | contribs) . . 265×400 (25,779 bytes) (short hair pic)

Then I became curious that who is this w:en:User:Romero?!! and noticed that he was renamed to en:User:Romero~enwiki per mw:SUL finalisation in 2015 April 22, then has been renamed from en:User:Romero~enwiki to en:User:Romero-wiki, by User:Euphydryas in 2015 May 20.

By reviewing his user page & talk page, and his contributions, it is completely obvious that the user is the real en:John Romero!

In his talk page, someone requested him to "upload a photo of yourself with long hair" and he has done it in 2006 October 5: 1 & 2, the image he uploaded was en:File:Romero 3designers.jpg which then moved to here at File:Romero 3designers.jpg in 2006 December, but has been deleted in 2016 December 11 due to "Missing source" which he ignored it at the same day that he uploaded image.

Some parts of this image are still available as cropped images: File:Tom Hall.jpg, File:WarrenSpector.jpg, File:Tom Hall (cropped).jpg
and you can see the original image in the following link:

http://web.archive.org/web/20140706215128/https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Romero_3designers.jpg

I think there is no need to more details, please restore the image! thanks.--Editor-1 (talk) 19:18, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

This does not look like a selfie. Who is the photographer? Thuresson (talk) 20:16, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
John Romero has official account on Twitter or Facebook, ask him your question. Unfortunately I don't have an account on Twitter or Facebook to do it myself.--Editor-1 (talk) 04:16, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
Resolving copyright issues and providing proper copyright related information is up to the uploader or up to the requester, not up to other volunteers operating here. There is a real copyright related doubt, as we need a free license granted by the photo copyright holder, not by the photo subject. False information about authorship at upload time is not helpful here. Ankry (talk) 06:27, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
Sir the image was here for more than 10 yrs from 2006 October 5 to 2016 December 11, and its cropped images are still present; "False information about authorship at upload time" what false information you are talking about?! John Romero can't upload an image from his personal images gallery just because he wasn't behind the camera?!--Editor-1 (talk) 10:14, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
Exactly. Unless Romero has an explicit contract with the original photographer that transfers the copyright in this photo to him, he is not allowed to grant other people a free licence for the image. And even then he would need to email a copy of said contract to the Commons OTRS team in order verify the legality of the upload. De728631 (talk) 10:51, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
I think it was not a person that we could call it "photographer", they just give him their camera and request to take a friendly photo, if someone in street ask one guy to take his photo with his own camera, is the taken photo belong to that guy behind the camera or the person who give him the camera and request him to take a photo?!--Editor-1 (talk) 12:25, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
Well, OTRS was not required in 2006, see COM:GOF. But a permission from the photographer was. And the photo might belong to the camera owner per Canadian copyright law, but not per US law. If we do not know who the photographer was and we cannot get their permission, the photo will become PD in 2102. Ankry (talk) 05:45, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose To answer your question, the law and Commons policy are completely clear -- since the only creative input to a photograph taken with a modern camera is framing and picking the exact time to push the button, the copyright belongs to the person who actually pushed the button. The owner of the camera has no rights unless he gets a license in writing from the actual photographer. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:49, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

So it seems the only way/option to restore this photo is said by User:De728631 "he would need to email a copy of said contract to the Commons OTRS team in order verify the legality of the upload."
but as I said "I don't have an account on Twitter or Facebook" and "John Romero has official account on Twitter or Facebook" so please someone that has an account on the mentioned platforms ask send the link of this debate and ask him for uploading again this photo and do what User:De728631 has said. I will be grateful if one person do it. Thanks--Editor-1 (talk) 14:49, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

This happened 14 years ago. I think it is extremely unlikely that Romero actually has a license from the photographer. If, as you suggest, it was a bystander, I doubt he even knows who actually took the photo. I think we have to call this one a copyright orphan and forget it. .     Jim . . .

"since the only creative input to a photograph taken with a modern camera is framing and picking the exact time to push the button, the copyright belongs to the person who actually pushed the button."
Can you please give a source for it?

No, your mean is this message/notice by bot, right? but in this notice there is no point to delete or something similar, his total edits is "132" so he was a newbie and didn't know enough about the policies, so please take it easy.--Editor-1 (talk) 17:46, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

  •  Oppose per Jim.
    "​Ownership of a “copy” of a photograph – the tangible embodiment of the “work” – is distinct from the “work” itself – the intangible intellectual property. The owner of the “work” is generally the photographer or, in certain situations, the employer of the photographer. Even if a person hires a photographer to take pictures of a wedding, for example, the photographer will own the copyright in the photographs unless the copyright in the photographs is transferred, in writing and signed by the copyright owner, to another person. The subject of the photograph generally has nothing to do with the ownership of the copyright in the photograph. If the photographer is no longer living, the rights in the photograph are determined by the photographer’s will or passed as personal property by the applicable laws of intestate succession. "  --U.S. Copyright Office.

This action was really unfriendly!! can't you close your eyes on some things?!--Editor-1 (talk) 07:19, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

No. As experienced Commons editors, we have all agreed to upload the law in various countries and Commons policies. Any unfriendliness here traces to the fact that you have wasted a lot of your time and ours trying to get a clear copyright violation restored without permission of the photographer. Your suggestion that we should "close [y]our eyes on some things?!" makes me wonder whether we should simply block you from editing here as obviously you have an unacceptable disregard for the law. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:22, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

 Not done: Copyright is generally held by the author of a work, not the mere subject. The latter would own the copyright, and thereby the ability to license the work, only if transferred by a formal written conveyance. This is true regardless of whether agreeable to mere personal opinions, especially those entirely untethered to law or policy, which is all the requester has provided. Per COM:EVID: "In all cases, the burden of proof lies on the uploader or other person arguing for the file to be retained to demonstrate that as far as can reasonably be determined: [...] that any required consent has been obtained." (underline added) This has of course not been done, and purportedly cannot be done. That this has now devolved into the fallacy of tone argument ("This action was really unfriendly") and "we can get away with it" ("can't you close your eyes on some things?!") suggests legal or policy-based responses to the opposes will not be forthcoming. --Эlcobbola talk 18:29, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

File:Taipei Red Lions Crest.jpg

Taipei Red Lions Crest.jpg is the crest of Taipei Red Lions F.C. I made it using a public domain image as sample and my own skills. The rampant lion RED LION CLIP ART belong to P Dizzle and is now a free public domain vector clipart uploaded to the website clker; the Chinese characters are the name of the football club and the numbers the year it was founded. Most football teams in wikipedia have their own logo. Please allow Taipei Red Lions F.C. to also has its logo which will facilitate the recognition for its fans.

Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaoTaiwan (talk • contribs) 13:34, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose per COM:PCP @Jim: I can confirm that MaoTaiwan does indeed represent the club, but the club does not even hold the copyright to this image. @MaoTaiwan: The problem is that the provenance of the clipart is uncertain. How do we know if the P Dizzle version is the original? We don't. This particular image of the red lion rampant is found everywhere. The clipart in particular is on multiple websites, often with a licence "Personal Use Only".

Making incorrect claims of {{Own work}} is a serious violation of Commons rules and may lead to your being blocked from editing here. It also makes it very difficult to believe anything you say.

I originally made the barnstar for WikiProject Middle-earth but was rejected by the only active editor on April 14. It still is, but a disagreement between two editors isn't much of a consensus. I'm not trying to force my way though, but I have not been opposed when it comes to adding it to WikiProject Wikipedia Awards.

File:Senioři_píší_Wikipedii_v_MKP.webm

Hello,

I just noticed file:Senioři_píší_Wikipedii_v_MKP.webm was deleted for copyright violation. If you go to 2:40 in the video, you'll see the file is licensed under CC-BY-SA, and that is stated in the video itself. As far as I can see, this file is free for being published at Wikimedia Commons.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Best,
--Martin Urbanec (talk) 21:13, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Hmm. The video does contain a CC-BY-SA as described above. However, the video as a whole does not have a YouTube CC license -- it is subject to the usual, unacceptable, YouTube license. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:27, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

@Jameslwoodward: I think whatever in the video itself should take precedence, at least in this case, when the video uploader and the author claimed in the video is the same, Městská knihovna Praha. Note there was already an unsuccessful DR, which was started due to potential copyright violation. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 07:15, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Genuine question, since I've been pretty inactive for a while, and this may be applicable elsewhere: did we stop requiring a license version for CC licenses? It used to be that "CC-BY-SA" was not considered to be properly licensed (as opposed to "CC-BY-SA 3.0" or something else that pointed to a specific license. Storkk (talk) 10:44, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
Looks like Clindberg's opinion as far back as 2017 was that unversioned CC licenses should be assumed to point to whatever version was current at the time of application of the license. Storkk (talk) 10:51, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
Martin, I would be inclined to think the other way on the simple grounds that the license in the video is only a few seconds and the video as a whole could have been edited with material that was not freely licensed. I would assume that if the person putting the video on YouTube wanted it freely licensed, he would have used that YouTube option. The Precautionary Principle requires us to err on the side of caution. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:23, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
I see, but I don't agree with that. Given the uploader's name and the name attributed in the video is the same, I wouldn't worry much. I get the point of video being editable, but I can download it, edit it according to my needs, and reupload under my own YT account, right? Cheating is always possible :/. The point IMO is having enough to be able to transfer the liability to someone else. Please note the video's uploader is Městská knihovna Praha (Municipal Library of Prague), quite a big organization - do we really think they'd break copyright laws intentionally? --Martin Urbanec (talk) 16:26, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
Quite the opposite, I think it is entirely possible, even likely, that the person who intitally created the video stuck a CC-BY license in it, with or without the authority to do so, and then the person in this large organization who actually uploaded it to Commons, not realizing it contained a CC-BY license in it, uploaded it with the standard YouTube license. It would interesting to see how other works from the Library are licensed. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:36, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 Support undeletion. I think that placing the license information in the licensed material itself is the standard way to use a license which is not supported by the web service. However, I think it should not be a big problem to contact the library, ask them the question about licensing and put their response in OTRS. Ankry (talk) 14:34, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

I would like to request the undeletion of the the JPG-File "LOGO_EVS_DE 4C.jpg". Apparently it got deleted out of copyright violation issues wich is not the case here. I work for the organisation that owns the rights on the file. Our identity got verrified in wikimedia last year. If it needs more to verify our identity or to prove that the rights of the JPG-file is in our hands, please tell me what to do. Otherwise I would kindly ask you to undelete the file or at least give me the opportunity to re-upload it. Because right now I can't do that.

With best regards.

Sam Coomes Photo is my photo

im a photographer i took the photo — Preceding unsigned comment added by Craigj1973 (talk • contribs) 17:26, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

  •  Comment As this image was previously published elsewhere and the terms of use of Facebook are incompatible with Commons licensing policy, we would need an explicit release under an acceptable free licence from the photographer. If you are the photographer, please send permission via OTRS. Thank you. --Ìch heiss Nat ùn ìch redd e wenig Elsässisch!Talk to me in EN, FR, PL, GSW-FR(ALS). 17:56, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
  •  Comment The Facebook page is a talent agency, so I wouldn't expect the photographer to have an email account with them, nor is the talent agency authorized to sublicense the images unless the copyright has been transferred, so I don't think OTRS will help confirm the authenticity of the release. Note that the image uploaded to Commons is full-resolution and the Facebook image is low-res; the only thing missing on the Commons version is EXIF. @Craigj1973: If you can upload the photo with full EXIF data, then we'll consider it strong evidence that you are the photographer. If you upload more photos (could be of a local street or park, or even a blank wall) with EXIF then that'll provide even stronger support that you own the camera you claim to have shot the photo with. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:53, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

File:Kick Buttowski Thug life.png

(And also File:Kick Buttowski Thug life with Catalonia helmet.png) These files were deleted citing it was copyvio as Disney holds to copyright of the cartoon. However, I think the image I drew using pain is too simple: couple of circles and a bunch of rectangles. I just made another one in ten minutes (link) They are basic geometric shapes, and I don't think such own work of close up is eligible for copyright.
acagastya 22:50, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose This is a frequent issue here. If these are far enough away from the Disney character so that they do not infringe on the Disney copyright, then they are out of scope as personal art with no educational purpose. If they are in scope, then they infringe. Either way they cannot be kept on Commons. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:56, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Yes, it is not for educational purpose, was never meant to be. It was on my meta page as the go-to display picture. (Talking about this imgur link) I find that a couple of circles, three lines and a bunch of rectangles don't pass ToO. Torso would have changed that. But I feel it isn't. I just want to know (if it is) why is it above ToO? I am not trying to pickup a fight here.
acagastya 16:43, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose 1) OOS per Jim above and 2) these are well above TOO; the agreement they are "basic geometric shapes" is nonsense and betrayed, at least, by the presence of this copyvio clipart and use of a purported CC license (mutually exclusive to a work being PD).

File:UK IN the Light of What We Know.jpg

Dear Sir

I am quite new to editing files in Wikipedia and struggle with technology (!)> identity : UK_IN_The_Light_of_What_I_Know.jpg

Reasons: I added a photo of the book cover(of the UK Paperback edition of the book) to the author 'Zia Haider Rahman's' page 2 evenings ago to further illustrate his page. But when I was uploading the photo to wikimedia Commons, as far as i remember I said the copyright was mine (Meaning I had taken the photo of the of the cover of the book). The image ofcourse is the copyright of Picador Publishers who published the book. I was only refering to me taking a picture of the cover of the book.

I think this has flagged the deletion of the book cover image.

Could you kindly undelete it so that i can upload the image again citing the correct copyright and thus be able to use the image?

I apologise for the misunderstanding on my part!

My best regards 2020traveller (talk) 20:22, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose No, sorry, the problem is that you do not have the right to upload a photo of a book cover without a license from the publisher. That would require an authorized official of the publisher sending a free license using OTRS. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:33, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: An OTRS permission has been provided – ticket:2020051510005492.

As an OTRS agent (verify), I will investigate the undeleted media and verify that the permission is sufficient to keep it (rights on media work + depicted work, FOP, copyright owner, country specific restrictions, etc.). I will also update the license (if needed) and add the appropriate OTRS template.
If you want, you can add {{subst:OR|id=2020051510005492|reason=processing}} or {{Temporarily undeleted}} on the media page to make sure a follow-up is done.

File:Paige Spiranac.png

Hello,

Can you please undelete the picture File:Paige Spiranac.png? It was removed due to a copyright infringement because the photo is located on Paige Spiranac's Instagram account (@_paige.renee), however I am her brand manager and have the rights to the photo.

Thank you, Lexie Mitchell Lexmitch (talk) 13:59, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose I note that in the file description, you claimed that it was {{Own work}} -- that is, that you were the actual photographer or creator of this work. Making incorrect claims of authorship is a serious violation of Commons rules. It makes it hard to believe anything you say here and may lead to your being blocked from editing here.

Because the image appears elsewhere on the Web without a free license, policy requires that either (a) the actual photographer must send a free license using OTRS or (b) you must send a free license together with a copy of the written license from the actual photographer which allows you to freely license the image. Please note that most photographer's licenses for publicity use allow only that and do not allow you to freely license the image for all purposes as is required here. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:37, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

  •  Oppose per Jim. Being the "brand manager" of the subject of a photo does not grant you the right to upload the photo to Commons. The copyright holder of a photo is the person who took it rather than the person who appears in it, unless transferred by operation of law or by contract. If the copyright was not explicitly transferred by contract, then we would require that the photographer (the assumed copyright holder) to send a release under an acceptable free licence directly via OTRS. Please note that OTRS cannot accept forwarded permission statements or proxy statements for legal reasons. --Ìch heiss Nat ùn ìch redd e wenig Elsässisch!Talk to me in EN, FR, PL, GSW-FR(ALS). 20:44, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

File:ESCUDO UGIJAR APROBADO.png

Hello! I am Francisco, worker in the town hall of Ugíjar municipality. I just registered on Wikipedia to fix and upload the original approved coat of arms of my town hall. This is a public domain image cos it's something approved by Spanish authorities. Please don't delete this image. I added to the description of the picture the original source of the coat of arms: a book published by Andalucía (regional) Administration, that's also a book for all the citizens, for the people to know all the coat of arms that were approved, so these uses are not protected by any copyright. I just wanted to fix the mistake in the coat of arms on Wikipedia, according to instructions issued by the Ugíjar's mayor, because everyone was taking the image from Wikipedia totally wrongly.

File:2050 Poster.jpg

I'm making this wikipedia page as part of my internship, and it has been asked of me to upload a poster. However, I cannot upload using anything other than the Wikimedia uploader because I don't have an approved account (I just made the account yesterday for this project). I have permissions from the creators to use the image but I don't see a way to indicate that.

I'm sorry if I've done something wrong, I've never created or edited Wikipedia pages before. --Leehawkinz (talk) 16:52, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose Please note that we only accept permissions that come directly from the copyright holders. Where the copyright holder does not have a Wikimedia account and/or the image in question has been published before without a free licence, the copyright holder needs to send a permission by email.
You may, however, upload a low-resolution version of the poster directly at the English Wikipedia with a fair use rationale. Go to Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard and start the Upload Wizard. In Step 3, you choose "This is a copyrighted, non-free work, but I believe it is Fair Use." Then you enter the name of your Wikipedia page, and select "This is the official cover art of a work." In the drop-down menu, choose "Movie poster" and fill in the required information. De728631 (talk) 17:26, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

File:Expo 88 Logo.jpg

As it was deleted without any warning, I cannot see what was in the description, but I happen to remember where the image came from which was from Flickr. It was released as PD by the Queensland State Archives, the Qld Govt being the organisation behind Expo 88 and hence the logo is their copyright. The problem is that our Flickr tools here on COmmons puts a US PD notice on a Flickr PD upload instead of asking what PD licence is needed, which in this case is PD-Australia. Can we fix our tools so people can nominate the particular PD licence that applies, and perhaps allow users to have a default choice. I upload Australian content, so for me, PD is invariably PD-Australia. I think our protocols for deleting "PD" material coming from Flickr needs to be not instant (as occurs) but recognises this problem and alerts the user so the correct PD licence can be added. I think I've been around long enough and uploaded enough that some good faith could be assumed! Kerry Raymond (talk) 00:49, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose The problem is not as you describe. The problem is that the Flickr image has the Public Domain Mark rather than being licensed CC-0. The PDM is a mere expression of opinion. It is not a license and can be changed at any time, so it is not acceptable on Commons.

Since the work is not yet fifty years old, it has a Crown Copyright. While Queensland could certainly license the image as CC-0 if it wishes, it has not done so. Therefore we must assume that the image is still under Crown Copyright. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:37, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

File:Formación para la Soberanía Nacional (FSN).png

The deleted file does not correspond to the Pre-Military Instruction logo image. It is an adaptation own to the new academic area of ​​"Formación para la Soberanía Nacional", edited by me. Finally, the complainant never placed the ad only after it was removed. I have used Google translator, for not managing the English language. --MusicologoVzla (talk) 17:30, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

If there was an error in the creation of said page, because it is the first time that I ask to restore a file. On the file, the logo that they place in said URL does not correspond to the new one. The academic subject was modified along with its name. That is no longer used. Finally in Venezuela there is Industrial Property Law, December 10, 1956, Chapter IV, Article 33, numeral 2: link
Which says the following: It is released from any type of registration and cannot be patented: because it represents a Flag, a Coat of Arms or other insignia of the Republic, the States or the Municipalities and, in general, of any Venezuelan public entity. The subject of Formación para la Soberanía Nacional. It belongs to the program given to high school students and to the governmental entity of the Ministry of Education. That is why it is reproduced on any school flannel or uniform. Sorry for my English. If there is someone who is here and can solve in Spanish, I can give the explanation in that language. Cheers.--MusicologoVzla (talk) 03:14, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
First, again, as I said above, "Let me suggest you write in Spanish rather than trying to use Google translation -- we have many volunteers here who read Spanish."
Second, the law in Venezuela with respect to government works is narrower than in many other countries. The only government works that are free of copyright are:
"The texts of laws, decrees, official regulations, public treaties, judicial decisions and other official acts."
That does not include flags, coats of arms and other insignia of the Republic such as this since they are not texts and are not any of the items specifically listed as free. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:45, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose I note that in the file description, you claimed that it was {{Own work}} -- that is, that you were the actual photographer or creator of this work. Making incorrect claims of authorship is a serious violation of Commons rules. It makes it hard to believe anything you say here and may lead to your being blocked from editing here.

Owning a paper or digital copy of a photograph does not give you the right to freely license it. That right is almost always held by the photographer or his heirs. I note that Kai-Uwe Franz is a photographer. If he was the actual photographer of this image, then he must send a free license using OTRS. If he was not, then the actual photographer must send the license. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:46, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

File:Bandera de la provincia Puerto Plata.png

Hola quisiera que por favor restauraran este archivo. No se porque lo borraron si es un archivo correcto, no solo este archivo sino todos los que he subido sobre las provincias de República Dominicana.

Si por favor me pueden dar una explicación porque yo la verdad que no entiendo, todo lo que se edita en wikipedia es para mejorar la información y eso es lo que he estado haciendo, añadiendo información sobre las provincias de mi país porque lo conozco y he estado en varias provincias y he visto que tienen su bandera colgada en la gobernación provincial. Así que espero una respuesta porque de verdad no entiendo qué es lo qué pasa.

Saludos

JeremyCKT, you provided a link to Flickr, but the images are not freely-licensed there.

undelete File:ShivaRaichandanijpg because I own it and want it on my page

Hi, I own this image and want it used for my page. The picture currently used for my page is not representative of me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Queerlybeloved (talk • contribs) 10:30, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Queerlybeloved, as I'm sure you can understand, we want to ensure that authors' copyright is respected. The image in question was previously published, and we have no proof that you are someone related to that publication, and that publication does not state that it is freely released, so the image was deleted. Please send permission to our OTRS team, explaining that you release the image under a free licence (meaning that is irrevocable, allows derivative works, allows commercial use, and does not require people to contact you before using it). -mattbuck (Talk) 11:30, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 Oppose Please note that owning a copy of a photograph does not automatically make you own its copyright too. Copyright is held by the original photographer, and to verify your licence, we would need a copy of the contract that transferred the copyright in this photo to you. De728631 (talk) 01:09, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Ownership of a copy of a photograph does not equate holding the copyright of the photograph. The copyright holder is the person who took the photo rather than the person who appear in it, unless transferred by operation of law (e.g. inheritance, etc) or by contract (in writing and signed by the copyright holder). Please ask the copyright holder to send permission and a release under an acceptable free licence via OTRS. Please also note that this must be sent directly by the copyright holder to OTRS as OTRS is unable to accept forwarded permission statements or proxy statements for legal reasons.

File:How to create the perfect infographic by InternetReputation.png

Hi There,

I specifically asked how to share my companies images in the Help Desk talk before uploading my files. See here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Help_desk#Adding_Images_for_a_Company

I followed their instructions and still, this user deleted all my files? 19:37, 16 May 2020 Christian Ferrer talk contribs deleted page File:How to create the perfect infographic by InternetReputation.png (blatant advertizing, out of scope)

I don't understand, as this user is telling me:

"Please review our project scope, but in short, Commons is targeted at educational media files including photographs, diagrams, animations, music, spoken text and video clips. The expression “educational” is to be understood according to its broad meaning of “providing knowledge; instructional or informative”. Wikimedia Commons does not contain text articles like encyclopedia articles, textbooks, news, word definitions and such.""

This is exactly what I am trying to provide, so if I am doing something wrong, please tell me so I can fix it, rather then having someone just delete all of my contributions and my talk page without even an explanation.

The user just said this when I asked for help/clarification:

Hi, advertizing is prohibited here, see com:Scope. Christian Ferrer (talk) 16:07, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

I looked at the scope, and my files are within scope, so I don't understand...?

Please help, as I just want to share these great graphics from my team.

Thanks --InternetReputation (talk) 22:17, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

  •  Oppose The problem is that your graphic contains a weblink to your company's website. This is considered promotional and is not allowed on Commons. De728631 (talk) 01:05, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Agreed. It violates COM:ADVERT. It might be restored if the web link were removed, but there is also the problem that it is a corporate work, so policy requires that an authorized official of the corporation must give a free license using OTRS. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:00, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - Working for a company is distinct from being an agent of the company authorised to license IP on its behalf. As you no doubt noticed that no verification was required to create the name InternetReputation, we have no evidence of either. As per above, we require COM:OTRS evidence that the appropriate agent (officer, director, trustee, etc. - however styled in your particular organisation) has authorised the purported CC-by-SA license. That the company's website contains both a "CC-by" license--notably, and legally, different than the purported CC-by-SA license in the Commons upload--and the statement "All Rights Reserved," there is concern that this is not a company that actually knows what it is doing. The COM:ADVERT issue, of course, is separate and also in need of remedying. Эlcobbola talk 15:19, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose I note that in the file description, you claimed that it was {{Own work}} -- that is, that you were the actual photographer or creator of this work. Making incorrect claims of authorship is a serious violation of Commons rules. It makes it hard to believe anything you say here and may lead to your being blocked from editing here.

  •  Oppose - There was no mistake. As the image was here in January 2020, well before the May 2020 Commons upload, COM:OTRS evidence of permission from the photographer is needed. Note that "work[ing] for the actor in the profile picture" is of no relevance, as the subject (actor in the profile picture) would only hold the copyright, and thereby right to license, if transferred by the photographer in a formal written conveyance. That document, or direct correspondence from the photographer, needs to be provided. Эlcobbola talk 15:08, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Neither ownership or possession of a photo nor proprietorship of the equipment used to take the photo equates holding the copyright. The copyright holder is the photographer (i.e. the person who took the photo), rather that the subject (the person who appears in the photo) or the person possessing the photo, unless transferred by operation of law (e.g. inheritance) or by contract (written and signed by the copyright holder, and explicitly transfers the copyright). --Ìch heiss Nat ùn ìch redd e wenig Elsässisch!Talk to me in EN, FR, PL, GSW-FR(ALS). 19:27, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Reason: Dear editors, I would like to ask why the file "Piramida wieku powiat pabianicki 2018.png" is suddenly an illegal file, after all it is from the state statistical office in Łódź, i. e. probably in the public domain. Besides, a similar file has already been licensed under CC-BY-SA 2. 5.

 Oppose The source web site given in the file description is https://lodz.stat.gov.pl/. That site is clearly marked with "Copyright © 1995-2020 Urząd Statystyczny w Łodzi". In the case of obvious copyright violation such as this one, policy allows and requires immediate deletion. In order to restore the file, an authorized official of the copyright holder must send a free license using OTRS.

It is a pity that this graphic cannot be used on Wikimedia Commons, that in the article pl: Wikipedia:Źródła danych geograficznych i statystycznych - Polska this page is listed Statystyczne Vademecum Samorządowca Statistical Vademecum of the Local Government as a source of information only there is nothing about the license. So graphics can be used on Wikimedia Commons. --Bogusław Pab (talk) 10:37, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

@Bogusław Pab: Nothing about license means no license. And it is up to the uploader to prove that the uploaded image if either freely licensed or not copyrighted. The copyright claim at the bottom of the PDF file source page constitutes a doubt whether the file is non-copyrighted official material (as stated in Polish copyright law) or that it is copyrighted and copyright belongs to the office (then, a written free license from them is required). You can ask the office for explanation and their explanation may be handled in OTRS. You can also create your own image basing on their data as the data is not copyrightable (while a data presentation image is). Ankry (talk) 11:24, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

File:Heinrich Teut.jpg

[[File:Heinrich Teut|thumb]] Soll bei Wiki Commons gespeichert werden zur Verwendung in einem in Arbeit befindlichen Artikels über Heinrich Teut und nur dafür. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rissen-Offa (talk • contribs) 17:36, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - 1) Although you claimed yourself the author in the image description, per the signature in the lower right and per you, this is the work of Gertrud (Trude) Müller-Teut, who apparently died in 1986. Thus this would not be PD until 01.01.2057 (1986 + 70 + 1); and 2) To the extent you purport to be the daughter-in-law of Müller-Teut, this is neither a claim of being an heir nor, more importantly, evidence of being an heir. To the extent you have access to an heir, they would need to provide evidence that the copyright of this painting (not merely the physical painting itself) had indeed been transferred to them and that they agree to a free license. Licenses that limit use to Wikipedia (implied by "zur Verwendung in einem in Arbeit befindlichen Artikels über Heinrich Teut und nur dafür") are not acceptable.

Files uploaded by Alain MOUQUET

Bonjour, je souhaite faire restaurer ces images dont je suis le producteur et le propriétaire. Ces images sont également visibles sur le site dont je suis propriétaire: www.clasexpertise.com et sont tirées de la vidéo dont je suis le producteur: http://www.clascertification.com/index.php?id=612&videos_rubrique_id=3

Dites-moi quels sont les justificatifs dont vous avez besoin pour procéder à la restauration de ces images.

D'autre part je suis victime de la publication d'accusations de vol de ces images. Ces accusations calomnieuses sont publiées sur votre site et facilement accessibles aux internautes. Ces accusations sont graves et portent atteinte à mon honneur à ma probité et à ma qualité d'expert judiciaire. Je transmets donc ce dossier à mon avocat qui se mettra en rapport avec vous pour obtenir réparation au moins par la suppression de ces accusations calomnieuses.

Cordialement.

 Comment Neverending dispute where users have already been told to go through OTRS. Please note images are linked to any sister project article. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 11:36, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
(Edit conflict) @Clascertification: Just few notes:
  • You claims to be the copyright holder, and Alain MOUQUET claimed the same at upload; this is a reasonable doubt about authorship and copyright
  • For images that were published earlier, we need a written free license permission either at the initial publication site, or via email following COM:OTRS.
  • Do you also own copyright to the logos at the bottom of the images, or are they freely licensed? They are not de minimis.

 OpposeWe've got a legal threat here. Should we block this user?
Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Alain MOUQUET has very strong statements from both parties, which apparently have fought in the French courts. I don't see any way that we can easily resolve the question of ownership at OTRS. Since these also are very promotional and therefore probably violate COM:ADVERT, I think we should not restore them. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:28, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose per Jim, and, without breaking any confidentiality or privacy policies, per non-public information. I can absolutely guarantee this cannot be resolved via OTRS. Jim: If one is to be blocked, the other should be as well. The main rationale being that both have been disruptive on-wiki (and possibly across multiple project)--having brought their off-wiki legal fight and problems here, and continuing to do so. It's tiring, and it's disruptive. And both have shown that they're not here to contribute positively--in their interactions with each other, with others, and per COM:ADVERT. --Ìch heiss Nat ùn ìch redd e wenig Elsässisch!Talk to me in EN, FR, PL, GSW-FR(ALS). 16:09, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

File:1980 Alan E Freedman Obit Hollywood Reporter.pdf

The file in question is the publication of an obituary in the "Hollywood Reporter." As stated by Daphne Lantier 19:24, 24 June 2017 (UTC), "Supplying the issue number, date and page number would suffice for this document to be acceptable." I am unable to find the issue online. The image supplied to wikicommons is a scan of a copy of the relevant page of the issue in which the obituary ran. The issue number is not available. However, the date (May 6, 1980) and the page number (170) are clearly visible on the image. As the grandson and oldest living heir of Alan E. Freedman, I can state uncategorically that the intellectual property of the obituary itself was supplied by Mr. Freedman's family. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mbarrach (talk • contribs) 02:26, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

  • ` Oppose @Mbarrach: I took a gander at the file via Internet Archive's Wayback Machine and, unfortunately, regardless of whether or not the intellectual property of the obituary itself belongs to the family of Alan E. Freedman, the page contains other works which do not. The page itself is most certainly protected by more than one copyright (e.g. that of the publication, the news wire or agency that supplied the articles, journalists, the author of the other obituary on the page, etc.). --Ìch heiss Nat ùn ìch redd e wenig Elsässisch!Talk to me in EN, FR, PL, GSW-FR(ALS). 03:18, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Agreed. While certainly the family supplied some or all of the information required for the obit, I doubt very much that the newspaper actually allowed anyone except its staff to actually write the obit. Therefore, even if the page were cropped to just the one obit, it would still require a free license from the newspaper publisher.
I note that you quote Daphne Lantier above. User:Nthep actually said what you quoted and you misunderstand the statement. What was said was that you could use the cited information to create a footnote on WP:EN that would link to the obit -- not that having the information would make hosting the obit here acceptable. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:26, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose per above. This was uploaded as {{PD-because}} with no reason for that "because." This request offers no explanation of why this would be free but instead seems concerned with attribution of a source. The primary purpose of a source is to provide "information sufficient for others to verify the license status" (COM:L); as the source does not do this, and isn't even purported to do this, there's no actionable basis for restoration.

  •  Oppose @Aaditya Sawant: (1) The image was deleted because it was out of project scope, and (2) Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. Furthermore, Instagram's terms of use are not compatible with Commons' licensing policy. For images to be hosted on Wikimedia Commons, the copyright holder needs to provide a specific release under a free license via OTRS.

File:Evangelia Charmandari.png

I do not understand why the specific photo was deleted. It was a picture of my sister which I took myself with my camera some time ago. It was presented in her personal web page (http://echarmandari.gr/en/cv.php) which I have also made for her. I included it because I realised that she already had a record in wikidata (Q44406215) and I thought it was useful to update the information.

 Oppose "© 2020 All Rights Reserved" at echarmandari.gr. Thuresson (talk) 14:09, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
The problem here is that the image has been published before on your sister's website without a free licence. We have no means to verify anyone's identity through a Wikimedia account, so our rules require that the copyright holder sends a permission by email whenever something non-free has been published before being uploaded to Commons. Please see COM:OTRS for instructions. Alternatively you may grant a free licence for the portrait at your sister's homepage, and then provide us with a link to that licence. E.g. you could adjust the footnote of the website to "© 2020 All Rights Reserved except portrait photograph by V. Charmandaris (Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International)." This will actually be much easier and faster than the email procedure. De728631 (talk) 14:23, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

File:Nude woman at Burning man 2009 3.jpg

This file was up for over 10 years before being deleted with no real discussion. It was deleted on the basis of:

  1. A nomination claiming that the nominator was the subject of the photo and was harmed by it. This seems dubious given that:
    1. The subject appeared to be posing for the photo.
    2. The photo had been up for over 10 years without an issue.
    3. The nominator was identified only by an IP address.
  2. A delete vote by AshFriday, which does not count for much. AshFriday consistently votes to delete photos depicting nudity, claiming they are out of scope; such deletions are often opposed by other users.

  •  Oppose - While a "per above" rationale is not particularly articulate, the vote it undoubtedly referenced was premised on both privacy (the nomination) and a COM:SCOPE issue. Telling, the requester offers no explanation of why the image is in scope or what its genuine educational utility would be, but instead offers mere unsubstantiated argumentum ad hominem. Эlcobbola talk 16:29, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
    • I’m not sure why this image is any more or less in scope than hundreds of other images of people that we argue over endlessly; often the arguments presented in these cases are not compelling. But here’s a suggestion (from what I can remember; it has been a while since I saw the image): illustrate nude women hugging from behind.
      I am also not sure where the burden of proof lies here. In open deletion requests, the burden seems to lie with the nominator. Is there a policy or guideline that covers this?
      I presume that by “mere unsubstantiated argumentum ad hominem”, you are referring to my comments on AshFriday’s history. But I wrote much more than that in my nomination. I think this phrase is unjustified. Note that AshFriday gave no explanation at all of why the image is out of scope. Brianjd (talk) 16:57, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
      • Brianjd: Putting the file into a category does not automatically place it within scope. To quote official commons policy: "An otherwise non-educational file does not acquire educational purpose solely because it is in use on a gallery page or in a category on Commons..." My emphasis. AshFriday (talk) 12:32, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
      • These images were, of course, in scope. The only rationale for deletion would be as a courtesy, and considering the odd claims in the nomination, they would have been better advised to write to OTRS or WMF legal instead of making public statements. From memory, one of these photographs was claimed to be of the subject nude, but clearly was not, as none of their private parts was actually in the photograph, nor were they likely to ever be recognized from the photo considering their massive sunglasses.
        If deletions like this are so easy, then any anti-pron campaigner need only write similar nominations and cause massive disruption by having decade old files here deleted without having to provide any evidence, or even be expected to write in confidence using a work email. A scenario we need to take care to discourage. --Fæ (talk) 17:44, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
  • I want to just preempt this and say that I'm  Neutral on this. @Brianjd: Per COM:EVID, burden of proof would typically lie with the uploader. --Ìch heiss Nat ùn ìch redd e wenig Elsässisch!Talk to me in EN, FR, PL, GSW-FR(ALS). 18:03, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
  • @Fæ: I would agree that the nominator should have gone through OTRS or WMF legal, however, (and these are speculations) (1) OTRS on Commons is more permissions oriented and its not so clear or obvious that they could contact us there which would maintain their privacy and confidentiality and (2) Some people just don't want to get the lawyers involved, or like OTRS didn't know it was an option. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ --Ìch heiss Nat ùn ìch redd e wenig Elsässisch!Talk to me in EN, FR, PL, GSW-FR(ALS). 18:14, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
    • Bad cases make bad law, and this example is not one for a case book as we do not want to presume bad faith against the anon IP. However @~riley: as deleting admin, as you may have a view as to whether given similar circumstances of a file hosted here for many years, so courtesy deletion is not really suitable, you would prefer to advise the nominator to go to OTRS and quietly close the DR as a keep pending OTRS (or something like that which hopefully avoids some unintended Streisand effects). --Fæ (talk) 18:34, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
  • (Edit conflict) @Elcobbola and Brianjd: While I do agree with Brianjd that there was no clear explanation to AF's assertion as to why the image was out of scope (as it appears that any nude is out of scope according to AF), one could have stated that it may be out of scope per COM:EVID. That being said, per COM:CSCR and as the event is clearly in a public place in the United States (where there is no expectation of privacy), no consent is required for taken or publishing a photo and there are no copyright-related commercial restrictions. So on the consent point, COM:SCOPE cannot be considered and AF would have needed to provide a valid rationale as to why the image was OoS.

  •  Support When I see a request like this in a DR -- a person claiming to be the subject requesting that an image be taken down, my standard response is to keep the image with "I rarely delete images at the request of the subject and never at the request of an anonymous person who might be a vandal or someone who simply doesn't like the image or the subject." I think this should be restored and, if the subject sends a request using OTRS, it can be taken down again. It's been up for ten years -- a few days for her to go thru OTRS won't make any difference. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:03, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
    • VRT agent (verify): OTRS lacks clear guidance from the Wikimedia Commons community on how to deal with requests by subject to delete photos of themselves. We either defer them to open a DR themself, or ask to open one on their behalf (unless clear copyright issues exist to allow speedy deletion). OTRS does not hold any power on this project and given COM:SCOPE and COM:D, we can only defer to regular DR or Wikimedia Foundation Legal. So "go[ing through] OTRS won't make any difference" is right on multiple fronts. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 21:13, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
      • I disagree strenuously. The issue in cases like this is the identity of the requester. We have no way of verifying it in Commons. While an OTRS volunteer cannot always do so, they can sometimes be helpful in that, particularly if the person is notable. I wouldn't expect the volunteer to delete the image even if they were an Admin, but if an OTRS person came to me or to the COM:AN and said that so and so had asked for an image of them to be deleted, I would do it unless it were the only image we had of a notable person. But the key is the identity -- otherwise we are just potential tools for vandals and enemies. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:28, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
        • In a majority of cases, a subject is a non-notable person with a non-corporate email domain and OTRS can not confirm identity-based on an email. (For permission emails, we can then assume it to be "legit" if no publication has been done previously, or if other images form same event etc. can be provided). OTRS does not ask for any kind of identification card (as that would be in many countries illegal to ask for by email). There are no set routines on how to identify or verify the identity of an emailee. If a request is sent in, we take their word that it is them that is the subject, in cases like this. (BEANS, I know) And as for "going to an admin or AN" to request such deletion is in contravention of COM:D, and is not something which OTRS agents should do (per current Commons policy). --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 21:35, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
          • That has not been my experience. I would guess that over the years I have looked at hundreds of these requests and the vast majority are notable people. But even for the non-notable ones, OTRS routinely deals with assessing whether the person sending the email is who they say they are -- otherwise how do we accept a license? As for COM:D, we routinely delete images in cases where we are satisfied that the subject wants it, provided, as I said above, that it does not remove the last image we have in a WP article. There's no question of the OTRS confidentiality -- the subject of the image is who they are, so there is nothing confidential to be disclosed. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:47, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
          • @Jonatan Svensson Glad: I think that in such cases verifying that the depicted person is the requested is quite easy. We do not need to know their real identity; we just need to know that they are depicted there. It should enough to ask them for an unpublished selfie. And this way we can reject COM:POINT based requests. Ankry (talk) 19:35, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
      • On this point, I agree with Jonatan Svensson Glad. My above comments regarding OTRS are more about helping to maintain the sender's privacy if that is what they desire, and not saying that OTRS has sway over the process. Just to make that clear, if it wasn't. --Ìch heiss Nat ùn ìch redd e wenig Elsässisch!Talk to me in EN, FR, PL, GSW-FR(ALS). 21:24, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
  •  Support as per Jim. We need some evidence that the request is indeed by the subject in such cases. Ankry (talk) 19:35, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose The photo in question was a generic image which had sat unused on the servers for close on a decade and was unlikely to be used for any realistic educational purpose, making it clearly out of scope. Regarding the personality rights issue: if memory serves correct, the file did not come with any kind of model release form, meaning we had no evidence that the people in the photo were willing participants. Extending the precautionary principle to cover this situation, deletion was (and still is) the best way to deal with the image. AshFriday (talk) 23:57, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
    • @AshFriday: Do we have evidence that it was unused for a decade? Or even that it was unused at the time of deletion? (As far as I know, we rely on the deleting admin to check that, but I have no reason to doubt the admin in this case. I’m just curious as to how we can check this.)
      As for the sugestion that it is not educational, I have proposed a use – that was just one suggestion from my memory – and no one seems interested in discussing this point.
      Regarding the model releases, many images lack them. We even have a template for that: {{Consent}} (public and appearspublic parameters). From what I can remember of other discussions, it seems to be well-established that there is no reasonable expectation of privacy at Burning Man. If we want to require releases, fine, but let’s discuss it in the appropriate area and form a consensus on it. Brianjd (talk) 04:53, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
    • (Edit conflict)  Comment Per Commons:Country specific consent requirements as Burning Man is held in the United States and is very much in public space (where there is no expectation of privacy), consent is not required for taken or publishing such a photo. --Ìch heiss Nat ùn ìch redd e wenig Elsässisch!Talk to me in EN, FR, PL, GSW-FR(ALS). 05:02, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
    • Claims by AshFriday are demonstrably pointless to discuss. They are a self-declared anti-pron warrior Fighting a never-ending battle against copyright vios and smut, this has been their only interest in Commons for years. The disruptive use of deletion requests and endless battleground behaviour makes them the classic self-defeating boy who cried wolf. Whatever the claim, ask for the evidence, there has never been any. --Fæ (talk) 06:27, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
      • Fæ, I would have expected you to show slightly more sympathy for the original nominator's deletion request, considering how much stalking and harassment you've endured over the years. Are you suggesting the file should be reinstated simply because I voted to delete? AshFriday (talk) 12:32, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
  •  Support If this image is not restored, it could set a dangerous precedent where anyone can simply open a DR under an IP and claim that they are the subject of the photo, even if the country doesn't require consent for taking and publishing the picture (as long as the photo is taken in a public place). Note that we don't have a standard procedure for courtesy deletions. The undeletion nominator also proved that this image has an educational use, therefore is within our project scope. So I see no reason why this image shouldn't be undeleted. If the subject wants this photo to remain/be deleted, they can verify themselves via OTRS. Ankry has provided a way to verify without disclosing your real identity. pandakekok9 07:35, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
    •  Comment - The current nominator hasn't proven the image is within scope. To quote official Commons policy: "An otherwise non-educational file does not acquire educational purpose solely because it is in use on a gallery page or in a category on Commons..." and "An image does not magically become useful by virtue of the argument that it could be used to illustrate a Wikipedia article on X, merely because X happens to be the subject of the photograph." AshFriday (talk) 12:32, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
  •  Comment - Technically the user doesn't state they're the woman in the picture, and both are identifiable. However as was stated, they are in a public place, and there is no expectation or privacy. I do however dislike the idea of IPs requesting deletion, and it seems odd that this is a problem 11 years after upload. I would love to ask the nominator for more information, but too late now. And frankly, if they're getting constant emails about it, it seems unlikely it's because someone found it through Category:Nude or partially nude people hugging. It's done now, I think maybe just leave it. -mattbuck (Talk) 08:34, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
  •  Comment All the information in my nomination was readily available to any observer at the time of deletion. Yet by repeating that information here, I have generated a huge amount of discussion. My main complaint about the original deletion was a lack of discussion. This was my first involvement with undeletion requests. It’s been an interesting experience. Brianjd (talk) 08:43, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
  •  Comment I am not even going to bother responding to the other comments by AshFriday. I think the issues have been well-covered by other users. Brianjd (talk) 12:57, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Tentative support - I don't think we should be unsympathetic to requests to delete files for privacy reasons, but I do think there is a minimal expectation of verification. Verifying accounts is not something new to OTRS, and it's not terribly difficult to do. GMGtalk 14:20, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

In general (but not for Commons), this is a valid way of licensing, but it is confusing. Anyway, as De728631 pointed out, neither nd nor nc is acceptable here.

Hi,

A user has claimed that I uploaded images to the hinokitiol page for promotional purposes. On the surface, it might seem that that is the case, however, I spent a significant amount of time finding those products for the purpose of educating people on the importance and widespread use of Hinokitiol in the East. As finding hinokitiol based products remains somewhat inaccessible without studying the complex dialect of Japanese.

I only wish to educate the western community that remains relatively unexposed to the use of hinokitiol in Asia. It is a highly unique compound with a rare tropolone structure and is studied intensely in Japan.

If the photo becomes deleted, so be it, however, if there is any clause that I could upload it under, that would be highly appreciated.

Kind Regards, Greg — Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgedouglas123 (talk • contribs) 04:47, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

This user has also contributed to wikipedia:en:Hinokitiol, which has a section about products containing Hinokitiol but no images illustrating such products. There appear to be no such images on Commons either. While the user’s contributions are dubious and might disappear when the enwiki community reviews them, the notability of this chemical generally – and its potential for medical use – seems to be well-established prior to these contributions. This seems to demonstrate that the images are in scope. Whether the images meet copyright requirements is another matter. Brianjd (talk) 05:34, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
 Oppose The deletion reason was copyright-related, not notability related. The uploader did not provide any licensing information. Fair Use images cannot be hosted in Wikimedia Commons. Ankry (talk) 06:17, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose The images clearly infringe on the copyrights for the packaging in the one case and for the ad and the packaging in the other case. They cannot be kept on Commons without a free license from an authorized official of the two manufacturers using OTRS.

File:Logo Lumea Presei.png

This logo is the exclusive property of Lumea presei, and its deletion is an abuse or conflict of interest with the author of ro.wikinews, respectively Claudiu, following a published article highlighting the illegal activity of an alleged doctor . If it turns out that he is in any way involved in the illegalities of that person, we have the right to file a complaint against Wikinews represented by this Mr. Claudiu. We did not promote anything, in any way, we only brought some information about our publication, requirements requested by Facebook, see (https://www.facebook.com/business/help/1004556093058199?id=524175288301958) . We hope that this logo will be displayed again and that we can ignore the bad intentions of one of your admins. We hope that we have made ourselves understood and we hope that we will not be part of a corrupt information system.

Thank you!

 Oppose User:Lumeapresei, first, the tone of your message is entirely unsatisfactory. The deletion of the logo on sight was required by policy and those involved would be criticized if they had not acted as they did. You should also note that those who make legal threats here are usually blocked from editing until they withdraw the threat and apologize. I am not going to block you, because I think you are just a new user who has not bothered to read and understand our rules.

In order for the logo to be restored to Commons, an authorized official of the owner of the copyright must send a free license using OTRS. We have this requirement because we have no way here of knowing who User:Lumeapresei actually is -- they could easily be one of our frequent imposters making false claims. .     Jim . . .

This picture is my work — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prerna Dalakoti (talk • contribs) 07:23, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose There are two problems here. The first is that the image has appeared without a free license at https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/delhi/2020/may/07/rolling-stock-for-delhi-meerut-rrts-to-be-produced-indigenously-2140222.html. The second is that the model has a copyright. The image of it is OK only if the model is on permanent display -- in a museum for example see COM:FoP.

Therefore, in order to restore the image we will need two things -- first, knowing where the model is and the circumstances of its display there and second, a free license from the actual photographer using OTRS. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:08, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

File:Chandi Rani Songs - O Taraka O Jabili - NTR, Bhanumathi.webm

This is a media from 1953 Indian film Chandirani.

  • "According to The Indian Copyright Act, 1957 (Chapter V Section 25), Anonymous works, photographs, cinematographic works, sound recordings, government works, and works of corporate authorship or of international organizations enter the public domain 60 years after the date on which they were first published, counted from the beginning of the following calendar year (ie. as of 2020, works published prior to 1 January 1960 are considered public domain)." As per the definition this work is under public domain. I uploaded it from Youtube and gave proper license in the file.
  • Person who took deletion action mentioned that "See music identification by YouTube, copyrighted music". In these cases Youtube can not be the whole point to delete as it won't verify copyright claims properly and in this case just because there is no mention about it's copyright status (PD-India) in Youtube it can not be considered as a copyrighted work. Moreover, this was not even discussed but was simply deleted and I got a notice after it's deletion to my talk page here.

As this is a public domain work, I request for restoration of the file. --Pavan santhosh.s (talk) 03:54, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Anonymous works … enter the public domain 60 years after the date on which they were first published …. Posthumous works (other than those above) enter the public domain after 60 years from publication date. Any other kind of work enters the public domain 60 years after the author's death. (emphasis mine)
There’s also the question of US copyright. Brianjd (talk) 04:09, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
  • @Pavan santhosh.s and Brianjd: Per COM:India, audiovisual works are indeed Publish + 60 (+ 1), and are therefore in public domain in India. However, as the work was not in public domain on 1 January 1996, COM:URAA applies. For media files to be hosted on Wikimedia Commons, they need to be either under a free licence or be in public domain both in the country of origin and in the United States (where the Wikimedia servers are located). Per U.S. copyright law, copyright protection would be ''Publish + 95 (+ 1). As such, the earliest date it would enter public domain would be 1 Jan 2049. So  Oppose.

To do so, simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments.

Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). Thank you.

 Oppose When you uploaded the files, you claimed in each case that you were the actual photographer. That is obviously not correct. Now you claim that your grandfather was the actual photographer. In the case of #2 and #4, that is obviously not correct. #6 comes from a newspaper, so it is unlikely that your grandfather actually took the photo. #8 appears to be like #6. So we have eight images, about which you have made incorrect claims once for four and twice for the other four. How do you expect us to believe anything you say?

With that background, you can try to convince an OTRS volunteer that your grandfather actually was the photographer for #1, #3, #5, and #7. That may or may not be possible. For #2 and #4, you will have to prove that their copyright has expired. #6 and #8, the newspaper photos, probably cannot be kept on Commons. .     Jim . . .

File:Sauron - Gorthaur.JPG

Hi. Several years ago I made some big mistakes on commons with connection to the Tolkien world. I "borrowed" several images I shouldn't have uploaded because I thought many of the Tolkien articles lacked pictures. My deep apologies for that, :-( I have come to better thoughts now. The only really selfmade picture of mine is File:Sauron - Gorthaur.JPG, but because of a fire in my home several years ago, I lost the computer with the picture and my drawing program. I really need the image now, so I want to know if you can recreate Sauron - Gorthaur.JPG for a day, so I am able to download it for myself. I have no intention of using it on wikipedia, on commons or any other website. I am asking you humbly because I know I have done something wrong in the past, and I have learned my lesson.

An OTRS permission has been provided – ticket:2020052810006654.

As an OTRS agent (verify), I will investigate the undeleted media and verify that the permission is sufficient to keep it (rights on media work + depicted work, FOP, copyright owner, country specific restrictions, etc.). I will also update the license (if needed) and add the appropriate OTRS template.

File:Aurat Ka Pyar.jpg

I want to be able to upload on en Wiki as a non-free file. Since de-watermarking the source image is time-consuming, I'd rather use the same image. --Kailash29792 (talk) 16:17, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

The source does not come up from the link you give, so I cannot see the watermark. However, removing a watermark that contains copyright information is against the law, so perhaps you should use the original. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:33, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

  • Removing a watermark that contains copyright information is against the law? That’s an extraordinary claim. Which law? Copyright law? In that case, using the original image was probably against the law too. But you would have to check which jurisdiction’s laws apply here and the exact terms that apply to that image.
  •  Strong oppose In any case, non-free files are not permitted on Commons. Whether it is allowed on the English Wikipedia, or any other project, needs to be discussed there. Brianjd (talk) 14:47, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
Brianjd, removing a watermark that contains copyright information is a violation of the DMCA and therefore relevant to any image kept on WMF servers, whether on Commons or WP:EN. The subject has been discussed at length on Commons since even removing a copyright watermark from an image that is CC-BY licensed and therefore allows derivatives, is problematic. see Commons:Watermarks#Legal issues with the removal of watermarks.     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:11, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
  • @Brianjd: That's not how enwiki works, though. Community permission is not required to upload a non-free file. Instead, the file is uploaded first, then someone can nominate it for deletion if they disagree. As Kailash29792 is not a Commons admin, they simply want temporary access to the file on Commons to save the work of removing the watermark. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 15:17, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
    • Regarding enwiki, that is correct but not really relevant. I was just trying to make the point that it shouldn’t be discussed here. Notice that I said “or any other project”.
    Regarding the nomination, I misunderstood it. If the user merely wants to temporarily undelete to move to another project, then the watermark also shouldn’t be discussed here.  Support temporary undeletion. Brianjd (talk) 15:26, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
Okay, please temporarily undelete it so I can upload on en Wiki. Once I download it from here, you can delete it again. --Kailash29792 (talk) 16:52, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
Unless we can see the image with the watermark to make sure that removing it is not a violation of the DMCA, I don't think we should do this -- the DMCA has tough penalties and they could extend to anyone who helps break the law. That could include whoever restores the image here..     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:04, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
Osianama are not the owners of the image; besides, it's pre-1935 so it should satisfy Indian public domain criteria. Kailash29792 (talk) 04:11, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: If this is true, you should provide evidence of this (which I assume has not yet been provided, given that the file has been reviewed by an admin and yet we are still here) and try to get it permanently undeleted. Brianjd (talk) 10:00, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Kailash29792, the date of the film (1933, not 1935) is irrelevant for the purposes of the Indian copyright. The poster has several clips from the film, so it is the film's copyright that will set the copyright term for the poster. The director, Abdur Rashid Kardar died in 1989, so the film and the poster will be under copyright in India until at least 1/1/2050. Its USA copyright will expire in 2028. .     Jim . . .

Please close this discussion. I've again de-watermarked (not so time-consuming as I believed) and uploaded it as a non-free file on en Wiki. --Kailash29792 (talk) 07:29, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Dear sir or madam,

I am the owner of the rights to the picture. I gave Wikipedia creative commons licences (via regular ticket). I really do not understand why anybody dares to delete my picture without any asking of the owner. please undelete the picture Komiksova Kytice.jpg

Thank you for understandings Yarrrick (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yarrrick (talk • contribs) 11:35, 28 May 2020‎ (UTC)

 Oppose The image was deleted on sight because it is a book cover. Policy requires that in the case of book covers, an authorized representative of the publisher must send a free license using OTRS.

I note that in the file description you claimed that you were the actual creator of the book cover -- the designer/artist. Above you do not say that. If you were not the actual creator, then the file description is incorrect. Making incorrect claims of authorship is a violation of Commons rules and may lead to your being blocked from editing here..     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:32, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

  •  Oppose As the image was previously published elsewhere, policy requires that the actual photographer send permission and a specific release under an acceptable free licence using OTRS.

File:Dewesoft Trbovlje.jpg

It is true that I had uploaded the same picture under the different names regarding the file File:Dewesoft Trbovlje.jpg but every time I uploaded it I had my permissions for upload from the copyright holder. First time I haven't declared it correctly (because I didn't know how), the second time I wrote to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org adding the Agreement of using the image which apparently wasn't sufficient but the same day I received the message I wrote to the copyright holder who also contacted the same addres regarding this subject.

  •  Oppose If a free license has been sent to OTRS, then the file will be restored automatically when and if the email is received, processed, and approved. Note that OTRS, like Commons, is entirely staffed by volunteers, and, also like Commons, is shorthanded, so it may be close to 7 days before the email is processed and the file is restored.
If the message was sent to the English language version of OTRS and the email has been properly received there the sender will receive an automatic reply with the ticket number. If the sender has not had a reply, please check that it was sent correctly and try again. Other language versions may or may not provide the automatic reply. .     Jim . . .

File:Chris Swift.jpg

Hi Ellin, 14 of the files i've uploaded have been deleted (i think...maybe some of them have been suggested for deletion). I'm not very tech savy, or lets just say the awesome amount of information and protocol is a bit overwhelming. I've done a little homework and seen your direction to other users. Can I clear this up with you first before re-editing? Also, getting access to some of the images i posted in 2012 will take much effort because they need to be salvaged from a hardrive that was damaged.

I can verify that almost all photo's of my artwork are taken by me and where not i have permission (if that's the issue). What i can't find are the files you deleted to individually make an argument to counter your decision. I don't know for instance what the issue with say File:Chris Swift Zion.jpg would have been as it's a sketch of a proposed work.

From what i read i think you have multiple issues, can i tackle these with you to verify or do you suggest i...this is where i get confussed, do i...re-edit/need to clear up confussion first...

Pls let me know how i can rectify.

Yours Sincerely,
