This file was deleted based on the assertion that it is an out-of-scope personal photo. There was no discussion.

From Special:Diff/421349014, by Wouterhagens:

As there is an article on fr:Laurence Gavron and a Commons category I like to see whether that photo is still out of scope.

I assume the category this user refers to is here: Category:Laurence Gavron. Brianjd (talk) 13:56, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

A relevant comment was added at the Village pump. Brianjd (talk) 14:00, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

I agree that on the scope question that it should be restored. However, as User:Storkk said at the VP, there is a question of copyright. I think we need an OTRS clarification. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:18, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

I've left a comment on the uploader's talk page on the off-chance that they turned on email notifications or indeed log in occasionally. Storkk (talk) 16:08, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

This photograph was taken by me during a travel I did to London on summer 2011. I visited the Buckingham Palace, were I took the picture. Some years later, when I decided to colaborate in wikipedia and wikimedia, I decided to publish my photo. I deleted the background because there were people in there and the picture did not look good and i did not wanted to publish the face of anybody. The photo is MINE and free copyright, so there is no reason to deleted it. I demand the restoration of this photograph. Enciclopedia1993 (talk) 09:19, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose For all of the reasons named at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Kate Middleton wedding dress.png, I am not inclined to restore this. If it is your own work, why is it so small and without EXIF? .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:35, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

  • Perhaps the administrators will have something to say about the last sentence too:
    I demand the restoration of this photograph.
They usually don’t take kindly to threats. In fact, they are prepared to block users who make them. Brianjd (talk) 13:43, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
Demanding something, while it is quite a disrespectful tone, is not a threat. A threat would be something like "I demand the restoration of this photograph, or else <insert consequence here>." As to the photograph, I could not find any other online photo of the dress that matches the particular drape and lighting present in this Commons image. This includes a reverse search with TinEye. De728631 (talk) 14:15, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
I noted the "demand". I discounted it because edit counts show that the user is a Spanish speaker -- so there might be a language difficulty. I don't read Spanish, but the French "demand" is "ask" in English, so perhaps they did not intend to use such a strong word. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:17, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello (Jameslwoodward). When the image was modified the EXIF data got loss. It happens to all the images I modified. As you said, there's no online image that matches this one because this photo is mine. About my last sentence Brianjd, you are the one who says it's a threat, not me, so don't make false accusations, because making a demand it's not a threat, you should know that. Instead, I think you are the one who make threats by threating me with consecuences when I only wrote a request.Enciclopedia1993 (talk) 14:26, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

@Enciclopedia1993: I think this was quite disrespectful too. I can understand that you will make mistakes when writing in a second language, but you need to understand that other people will make mistakes too when reading your message. Brianjd (talk) 14:30, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Уважаемые администраторы!К нам в OTRS снова обратился автор снимков File:Путешественник Виктор Пинчук (Хартум, Судан).jpg и File:Путешественник Виктор Пинчук (Остров Пентекост, Вануату).jpg. Файлы были удалены по причине COM:SCOPE. Он пояснил, что данные снимки планирует использовать в статьях русскоязычной Википедии: здесь Самостоятельный туризм и здесь Вануату#Туризм, Ticket#2020052610003901. Прошу ещё раз оценить целесообразность использования данного файла в статьях, и если Вы считаете возможным это, восстановить фотографию. С уважением, --Dogad75 (talk) 15:44, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

 Comment Mr. Pinchuk has succeded once in having one of his vanity pictures being kept here (I suppose because of the traditionnal clothes he was wearing). I'm not sure neither if it's OTRS volunteers's job to relay this sort of wishes and IMO they should advice him to open a social media account per COM:NOTHOST. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 16:08, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
Волонтёры службы OTRS, в первую очередь, занимаются подтверждением разрешений на свободные лицензии произведений. Они не всегда могут предугадать, необходим тот или иной файл для Википедии или нет. Если файлы используются в Википедии, значит они имеют право находиться на Викискладе, если файл не используется в проектах, их всегда можно удалить. На сколько это тщеславие автора или нет, мы это не можем оценить, пока файл используется в Википедии. С уважением, --Dogad75 (talk) 17:02, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
P.S. Да, и файлы можно переименовать, удалив из описания ФИО автора, заменив на более конкретное содержание. С уважением, --Dogad75 (talk) 17:06, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
@Patrick Rogel: I have to agree with Dogad75 here. The OTRS permission queue makes no judgement on whether the image is in scope or out of scope, as our role is just to verify authorship, the work's copyright status, and then accepting or declining the permission based on our investigation.  ::: Furthermore, Dogad75 has only relayed a message, and has clearly left it to UDR to decide if the files should be undeleted. Ìch heiss Nat. 17:30, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

@Patrick Rogel: OTRS should be reserved for verifying messages that can’t be made public. They should pass on their findings, and the community should handle everything else, including questions of scope. Brianjd (talk) 00:29, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
My rule of thumb is, if the image is already on Commons, then completely ignore scope and just process the ticket. If the image is not yet on Commons (i.e. photosubmission), then I might reject the image if it's obviously not in scope (e.g. spam/logo of a company with no significant coverage in reliable sources) but I will upload it for them if I'm not sure if it's in scope or not. -- King of ♥ 00:41, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose The images appear on Facebook. Therefore policy requires that the actual photographer(s) must send a free license using OTRS. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:44, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Being a student of that institution does not grant you the right or the authorisation to license or re-license the logo of said institution. An authorised officer or official of the institution will need to send permission and a specific release under an acceptable free licence for the logo to be hosted on Wikimedia Commons.

This is the picture of the autor Justine Harun-Mahdavi as well as her husband Dr. Dipl.-Ing. Massoud Harun-Mahdavi, the main figure of the book "Nicht ohne meine Mann" or "Not without my husband". So it is relevant, it is no advertisement and there are no other conflicts. This picture belongs to the autor and has been uploaded by me. I am her son. This picture can be used commenly for every person. Please contact me if you need further information. I´m not going to read all the rules and other things in wikipedia just to be able to upload a picture like this. Thanks in advance, --Sasan Harun-Mahdavi (talk) 15:47, 30 May 2020 (UTC) Dr. Sasan Harun-Mahdavi


 Not done: Procedural close -- the files have not been deleted. Your rather high handed refusal to read our rules has created extra work for the volunteers here which could easily have been avoided. First, you failed to link Justine Harun-Mahdavi's name to her WP:EN article. Doing that would have eliminated the reason these were tagged for speedy deletion. The second mistake is that you claimed that you were the actual photographer. It is clear from your comments above that that is not correct. Therefore please refer to Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Sasan Harun-Mahdavi. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:10, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

  •  Oppose File:اسامة الجبوري.jpg was deleted as a copyright violation. The two other files that you've uploaded appear to be the same book cover/jacket as the once from the source of the deleted. Regardless of who is the copyright holder, as they were published elsewhere prior to their upload to Commons, permission and a specific release under an acceptable free licence is needed from the copyright holder (i.e. the actual creator of the book cover, or if created under a contract that transferred the copyright to the publisher, then the publisher) using OTRS.

 Oppose I note that in the file description, you claimed that it was Own work -- that is, that you were the actual artist. 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.

Actually, this is the work of brickmack at https://www.deviantart.com/brickmack/art/Gaganyaan-782015215 which has "© 2019 - 2020 brickmack". This can be restored only if brickmack either (a) relicenses it on deviantart or (b) sends a free license using OTRS. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:47, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Moheen deleted my file, causing it to be removed from several Wikipedia articles automatically (en:Pinhole glasses), and causing other articles to get broken wiki markup (de:Rasterbrille). My file was one of a series, and now the articles make less sense than before. I no longer have a copy of the file and don't remember what I wrote in its description, but this was something I printed out and photographed myself; the eye chart was derived from copyleft file File:Snellen chart.svg. This summary deletion without any warning to me or discussion is inappropriate. Moheen did not even contact me on Commons or enwiki. Psiĥedelisto (talk) 15:41, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

@Psiĥedelisto: This image was tagged for deletion for the following reason: "derivate of CC-by-SA 3.0 licensed work, cannot be licensed under CC0". Thuresson (talk) 15:52, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
@Thuresson: There's no COMMONS:DR. Is it not then proper to send me a notice that I need to relicense it? I am quite sure I properly marked it as a derivative, I just meant that my work need not be attributed, and use of the photo can be attributed to User:Jeff Dahl without attribution to me. Psiĥedelisto (talk) 15:59, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
@Nat: Not a problem. Clearly I've either been misunderstood, or I made an error in my understanding of the license tags. I can't actually see how I described the license as the page is deleted. Psiĥedelisto (talk) 15:59, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
  • @Moheen: I disagree with speedying files with easily fixable problems. If a file is under an incompatible license, then it can be fixed by simply contacting the uploader to update the license; if a photo shows a presenter next to their copyrighted PowerPoint presentation, a simple request to COM:GL/P will suffice; etc. That said, I'm not even sure File:Snellen chart.svg contains modifications to the PD original which are eligible for copyright. Certainly attribution should be given for moral and academic reasons, but I'm not convinced the {{Cc-zero}} license is invalid. -- King of ♥ 16:06, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
@King of Hearts: If the file is restored I'll immediately make the required change. If I need to be attributed, and it's not valid for me to say "to the extent that my work in taking a photograph has resulted in a derivative work, my work is public domain" that's fine; I will relicense as CC-BY-SA 3. Psiĥedelisto (talk) 16:26, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

What I wrote and what I'll change

It was very hard for me to defend myself without knowing what I actually wrote. Fortunately, User:Josve05a was kind enough to provide me the text of the deleted file and allow me to post it here. I actually agree with King of Hearts that the changes to the PD file don't meet the COM:TO, but look, no need to split hairs. I just really want my file back. I was still quite new to Commons when I uploaded this file and simply used the Upload Wizard wrong. Psiĥedelisto (talk) 18:56, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

@King of Hearts: Thank you - the changes have been made to all three files. I think this should stay open until Moheen acknowledges that they need to attempt to make contact when they delete files. Preferably, if the user has a lot of well licensed files, they'd give them a chance to correct the error before deletion, but not making contact at all is totally inappropriate in my view.

As Copyright owner of the images photographed and also the photographed mounted images, being legal owner of all works portrayed, including derivatives I have legal right to release those images in any way i shall feel fit and had done so. I had not seen any notice of a deletion request until after it had been acted upon but would have challenged it if I had. --Pennine rambler (talk) 00:03, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

That is a ridiculous response given that the photographs are my own, including the ones inside the frame and the photo of the photos.--Pennine rambler (talk) 09:04, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
Please also show where my photographs have been published in public elsewhere? For that to occur the photograph and image would have required my consent unless it was via creative commons license terms as stated on its upload on wikipedia commons --Pennine rambler (talk) 09:18, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
Just for the record you were informed of the deletion request on your talk page when the DR was created.
That said if licensing is the issue then the answer is simple. You can confirm licensing via COM:OTRS and we can then host the image here. I would  Support restoration on that basis happily. --Herby talk thyme 09:36, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Pennine rambler, please note that we get imposters making false claims here all the time. The fact that User:Pennine rambler asserts that he is the photographer proves nothing. Because the image appeared previously on Facebook, policy requires that the actual photographer(s) of the four images send a free license using OTRS. .     Jim . . .

@Pennine rambler: Per the deletion discussion (Commons:Deletion requests/File:LGB Support Group Bolton England 1993.jpg), the image's metadata apparently includes a code that would only appear if the file in question had previously been hosted on a Facebook-owned site, social network, application (Facebook, Instagram, perhaps Whatsapp).

The meta data for Facebook exists on the photo of the frame images on display as it is mobile phone photo that has been stored on my own facebook account in my private photographs, I have tonight found negatives of the originals in the frame and am already in contact by OTRS and can now prove legal ownership of all rights and am doing so --Pennine rambler (talk) 02:17, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

@Pennine rambler: . Again: you say "your own photographs", but we have no way here of knowing who Pennine rambler is, so we cannot know whether they are your photographs or not. Your attitude is characteristic of those who would try to convince us that they are someone other than the person they really are. As Nat said, the EXIF shows that the image came from Facebook, so policy requires confirmation via OTRS. That policy is designed to prevent imposters from pulling images off of web sites and uploading them here -- in other words, to protect the rights of the actual photographer. If that is you, as you claim, you should appreciate our care. If it is not you, then the policy has worked. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:00, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Hmm -- I'm not so sure. First, note that the image cited above is similar to but not the same as the deleted image here. The image here has the name of an SA (corporation) at the bottom. According to Transport in Macau, there are several private bus companies there. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:00, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Without any disrespect, I would like to point out that: The logo of the related picture is for identifying who post the notice on the bus stop. And the company(http://www.tcm.com.mo/web/default.aspx) who can provide service because the is a public contract signed between and the Macao SAR government(https://bo.io.gov.mo/bo/i/2018/16/ordem63.asp). She need to obey the instruction of the government, including the instruction of wearing masks.

The second thing is, will the said notice protect by laws of Macau? It seems to be not. Per Republicação do regime do direito de autor e direitos conexos, aprovado pelo Decreto-Lei n.º 43/99/M, de 16 de Agosto Artigo 5.º (Exclusão de protecção) 1.

The said notice is providing general information, in other words, it is telling facts. It is not related with creation, which is what copyright protect.

  • In my opinion it is a derivative work passing the originality treshold. I disagree that it merely provides a non copyrightable information - it has the picture (I bet it's a stock one even) and the logo, composition etc. And as far as I could tell, there is no PD extemption for it, as it was issued by the private company.

  • I took another gander at the Decree-Law n.o 43/99/M of Macao (the copyright legislation of the SAR) and the law does not state that all Government works do not benefit from protection, as it specifies that only "Official texts shall not benefit from protection" [DL43-99, c.1, art.6 §1] and defines official texts as " the texts of treaties, laws and regulations and those of reports or decisions by authorities of any kind, and translations thereof" [DL43-99, c.1, art.6 §2]. Nowhere does it state that Official Works other than texts (e.g. photos) are not protected.

Per Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by TheCoffee, this file was deleted because of no-freedom of panorama in the Philippines.

However, the architect who built this, Ralph Harrington Doane, died on November 6, 1941 (according to https://backbayhouses.org/ralph-harrington-doane/), so this architectural work is in public domain since November 6, 1991 (year of death+50 years).

@Jameslwoodward: for this one - File:Dumaguete belltower.jpg, I'm not sure if this is the Dumaguete Belfry of 19th century. The site https://dumagueteinfo.com/dumaguete-city/archived-pages/dumaguete-belfry/ says it was 1811, built to forewarn the locals of any incoming danger. It remains to be the oldest bell tower in the Visayas and is a very famous architectural landmark in the city (this is also supported by https://dumaguete.com/dumaguete-belfry/ , while http://dumaguetecity.gov.ph/2019/09/23/dumaguete-bell-tower-lights-up-for-sandurot-2019/ implicitly mentions the belfy - "more than two centuries, the belltower remains an enduring and proud icon of Dumaguete’s faith, vigilance, resilience, love for others and hope. It deserves to be given a place of honor in our celebration." However, I cannot guarantee if this is the belfy as depicted in the file deleted in October 2016.

"Surnames of the United Kingdom" traces to "Henry Harrison"; who also published "The Place-Names of the Liverpool District; Or, the History and Meaning of the Local and River Names of South-West Lancashire and of Wirral" (1898); and the google preview of Surnames of the UK lists him as a member of the "Council of the Philological Society, London". A google books search for "henry harrison council of the philological society" reveals a partial obituary in The Publishers' Circular and Booksellers' Record, Volume 114 (1921) which states:

Obituary Mr. Henry Harrison The death is reported at Bournemouth, from pneumonia, of Mr. Henry Harrison, who, after thirty ... Mr. Harrison, who was comparatively young, was a member of the Council of the Philological Society, and author of ...

So that is one which is cleared. For British Family Names (first published 1894; [1]); the google preview lists the author as having published other documents; including an article on ""The Cistercian Abbey of Maulbronn" (1892) and other articles which date to a bit earlier. The earliest article by him I can find, (1890); where he is titled a "M.D." (Doctor of Medicine; I don't know what the requirements were in Victorian Britain but I'd assume a few years at a University would have been the minimum), probably indicates that at the very least he would have been something like 80-90 in 1950, which makes his death before a distinct possibility...
I could not find anything for the Dict. of Names &c.; the only suggestion we have is w:Edward Bevan (bishop) who died 1934; but this can't be verified.
Also, as far as I understand, for all of these, per the Berne Convention; (to which the UK and the US are signatories); the shorter term applies; and since this is hosted in the USA (as far as I know), that term is 95 yrs from publication; which as I said initially is long since gone. 107.190.33.254 21:12, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
The Rule of the shorter term applies only in the other direction -- where the source country's copyright has expired but, except for the Rule, the second country's copyright would not have. Thus a US work that is 95 years after publication will be PD in the EU even if the author died less than 70 years previously. You cannot say that a UK sourced work has a 95 year copyright because that is the rule in the USA. Note also that while the EU does use the rule, the US does not. .     Jim . . .

Well then in any case I have proven that one of these is actually PD in the UK... 107.190.33.254 14:18, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
Yes. Hits from Google Books also include the phrase (from a 1921 work): Recently, at Bournemouth, from pneumonia, Mr. Henry Harrison, the author of the well-known dictionary of the "Surnames of the United Kingdom." It was first published in instalments in 1907, but the completed work was not ready until 1918... So that is definitively the author in question, and is {{PD-old-auto-expired|deathyear=1921}} .  Support that one. Carl Lindberg (talk) 12:25, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

I think we can accept that Henry Harrison, the author of the third entry, died before 1950 -- it's not an uncommon name and the connection is a little tenuous, but I'll  Support it.

I agree that the second one's author was 80-90 in 1950, but not old enough to assume that he was dead by then, and there is no information on the other one, so I continue to  Oppose the first two. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:30, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Could the Barber one be {{PD-old-assumed}} ? Sound like they were published before 1900... Carl Lindberg (talk) 11:57, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
Yeah, this book in a bibliography section identifies "Henry Barber, MD" as the author of Forness folk, the'r sayin's an' dewin's; or, Sketches of life and character in Lonsdale north of the sands[2] which was originally under a pseudonym of "Roger Piketah". That was published in 1870, so that pushes back his possible age 20 more years.  Support on that one too. Carl Lindberg (talk) 12:51, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
I can't find much on Edward Latham. Almost certainly not the same person as Edward Latham Bevan. I do find a reference of him as a "learned English philologist" in an 1893 publication, but most of the stuff he authored was published from roughly 1900 to 1916 as far as I can see. It's possible that the book was simultaneously (within 30 days) published in the U.S., as there was a NY publisher Dutton also named, but otherwise the country of origin is the UK and we'd have to show that 70pma has passed. While the U.S. does not use the rule of the shorter term, it's expired there due to being published before 1925, so it could be uploaded at en-wiki or en-wikisource directly. But the UK copyright is still unclear. Using freebmd, there were only a couple of deaths 1950 or later under that name who could realistically have been that person. Hard to imagine he lived 35+ years after he stopped publishing when that was seemingly his profession, but it's possible. Carl Lindberg (talk) 14:22, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

File was deleted due to "no-FOP" rationale at Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by TheCoffee. Still unsatisfied by the information at w:Paco Park, I scoured through Google for more info, and found http://historicalpaco.blogspot.com/2015/08/paco-park-cemetery.html?m=1, a blog with info compiled by batch 2015 students from Universidad de Manila (UDM) According to the blog, it was built designed by Maestro de Obras Nicolas Ruiz in 1807 and originally served as a cemetery, being expanded to its present extent in 1859. Although there is no explicit mention of when its Catholic chapel was exactly built or completed, a photo showing it with the caption "Funeral services were also done of which the most prominent was for General Henry W. Lawton on December 30, 1899." likely implies its existence since at least 1890s, therefore being constructed during the late-Spanish era (most probably). Unsure about File:Paco Park Gomburza.JPG and File:Paco Park Rizal.JPG, but since they bear markers set by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) or its predecessor, it is likely that they are not within the scope of no-FOP copyright restrictions. I can also see numerous similar images bearing cultural and historical memorials and NHCP plaques at the Category:Encyclopedia of Philippine Heritage content. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 02:54, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

 Support

both because of their apparent age and their simplicity.

 Neutral

I think the plaque is much more recent than the elaborate cross which is in a very much earlier style than 1998. Nonetheless the only date we have is 1998. The text on the plaque is unreadable in this image, so its copyright is not a problem. However, see Commons:Deletion requests/File:Paco Park - Gomburza Memorare NHCP historical marker.jpg/ .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:10, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

As per discussion, (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Undeletion_requests/Archive#File:Announcement_for_wearing_a_mask.jpg), the conclusion is that only texts are not protected. And similar case is here "https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:%E9%9B%99%E6%98%A0%E6%88%90%E8%B6%A3.jpg".

I cannot tell that the conclusion is wrong. But we need to concern how it practice in Macau.

The Department of Economic in Macau says: (https://www.economia.gov.mo/en_US/web/public/pg_ip_wip?_refresh=true) "What is not protected by copyright? Items which are not protected by copyright include (but not limited to them) are: idea, program, organization, operating method, rule, concept, principle, discovery, not written or recorded piece, piece which is not written by original author, information for public use, daily news, article which only reports incidents, speech given in a form of discussion for the benefit of the community, political speeches, official pieces, laws and regulations and their translations." In the explanation, "Official pieces" and "laws and regulations and their translations" are something "parataxis", which means there are something outside the protection rather than texts.

How does the official attitude? There is an project call "Memory of Macau" (https://www.macaumemory.mo/aboutus) runs by Macau Foundation (https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%BE%B3%E9%96%80%E5%9F%BA%E9%87%91%E6%9C%83).It is allow to upload photo with such situation. Here are some examples: "https://www.macaumemory.mo/interaction/memory_cdc91f07e94a443cbb3f3728603f5d33" (photo with first day cover) "https://www.macaumemory.mo/interaction/memory_402fd3f7259848e0b958ea8a572fd358" (photo with logo of a private company) "https://www.macaumemory.mo/interaction/memory_2df09d639af34d5dbadbfbf362f79fda" ""https://www.macaumemory.mo/interaction/memory_a59f72189b4948afb835af495a8cf8df" "https://www.macaumemory.mo/interaction/memory_d9f32e6ba1e84d88a74c088e6fc90e53" (photo of a document) "https://www.macaumemory.mo/interaction/memory_4a81ce712ade42b6878007d2b34cd4ce" "https://www.macaumemory.mo/interaction/memory_2d441c85c96c4b7ba7686a69979522dd" (photo with the said notice)

Thank you for your time.Pauloleong2002 (talk) 04:42, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

  •  Oppose I will repeat what I posted before the previous discussion was closed: The Decree-Law n.o 43/99/M of Macao (the copyright legislation of the SAR) does not state that all Government works do not benefit from protection, as it specifies that only "Official texts shall not benefit from protection" [DL43-99, c.1, art.6 §1] and defines official texts as " the texts of treaties, laws and regulations and those of reports or decisions by authorities of any kind, and translations thereof" [DL43-99, c.1, art.6 §2]. Nowhere does it state that Official Works other than texts (e.g. photos) are not protected. Per COM:PCP, we need to assume, unless proven otherwise, that such official photographic works are protected under Macanese law.
I believe that the law is quite clear on its definition of what is exempted and what is protected. The photographic work, even if it is Government work, is assumed to be protected as it is not listed as an exempted work under Articles 5 and 6. Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr. 05:18, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
Yes, you have already strict to the point. The Department of Economy, when translation the said Decree-Law, they are using the wording "official texts". But when they explaining (https://www.economia.gov.mo/en_US/web/public/pg_ip_wip?_refresh=true), they are using the wording "Official pieces". Actually, according to the Chinese and Portuguese version in force, the wording are "作品" & "obras", which means "works", not only "texts".
I raise this issue again because I could finally find out there are photos being allowed to upload in a non-profit project in Macau.(https://www.macaumemory.mo/interaction/collection_2d6b84a3f53e4129844d39d59230fcae"), which means at lease it is not against laws of Macau.Pauloleong2002 (talk) 09:00, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
  • The government has chosen to translate 作品 & obras as "text". But that is irrelevant. Regardless of how they chose to translate the Chinese or Portuguese terms, they have clear defined and delineated it as "the texts of treaties, laws and regulations and those of reports or decisions by authorities of any kind, and translations thereof" [DL43-99, c.1, art.6 §2]. Again, the law is very clear on this point. Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr. 15:24, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Additionally (and echoing the opinions below) regardless of the copyright status of the photo used, the poster itself is assume to attract its own copyright and, like the photo, is not exempted from copyright protection in Articles 5 and 6 of the law. Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr. 17:07, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose Even if a non-profit use in Macau is allowed, the file would still be unsuitable for Commons. Uploads here need to be free for anyone to use anywhere and for any purpose.

 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.

These were deleted as personal images of a non-contributor. That appears to be appropriate, as the uploader's only contributions to WMF projects are several personal images and a long user page at WP:EN which, if it were on Commons, would be a {{Speedy}} because it violates COM:ADVERT.

Also, as noted above, these are copyright violations, since there is no permission from the actual photographer.

Finally, I note that you reloaded both of these images. Reloading deleted images is a violation of Commons rules and simply wastes your time and that of other volunteers.

This photo was deleted under grounds of copyright violation--but given the photographer themself posted it to Twitter, and not to a paid news source--this constitutes its free usage if the source is cited, which it is. It is already available for free and embedding, therefore a cited source with link does not merit a copyright violation.

  • If Shane McCoy is an employee of the U.S. Marshals Service (and, therefore a US federal employee) took the photos in his capacity as a US federal employee, then this is considered the work of the U.S. federal government, and in public domain per 17 U.S.C. § 101 and 105.

      • The main issue I see here is that while it is rightfully in PD per US law, the copyright mark / all rights reserved notice is maintain on the image page, which means if this image is undeleted, because the source is flickr, a bot such as MGA73bot will retag it as needed a licence/flickr review, then another bot like FlickreviewR 2 will review again it as having failed a licence review as the image has a copyright notice and tag it for speedy deletion.

    I do consider it a flaw with the bots. There are definitely cases where we want to import PD Flickr files marked "all rights reserved", even when the Flickr account is properly run. For example, a museum may mark its 2D reproductions as "all rights reserved" and be correct according to the laws of its own country, but we would ignore it and treat it as {{PD-Art}}. The easy fix is for MGA73bot to ignore any Flickr file tagged as a PD reason other than voluntarily released by its copyright holder. -- King of ♥ 18:22, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello,

this photo was photographed by the Photographer "Dirk Ossig", but the Actor, Shenja Lacher payed him for the headshots and may use the pictures anywhere online if he refers to the copyright. That is why I copied the photo from the website of the actor, Shenja Lachers, agency with the naming of the copyright underneath the photo. So, the copyright was not violated! The picture of Shenja Lacher is on the website of his agency and free for online use.

I respectfully ask that the four photos deleted from my entry Puppets Against AIDS be reposted to my article (that is still posted on Wikipedia). Wikimedia approved the use of the photos after weeks of back and forth communication with signed releases by Gary Friedman, the owner of the copyright, as well as by Mr. Trupin, the heir to the deceased photographer Gisele Wulfsohn.

Below are some of the relevant communications:

Permissions - Wikimedia Commons <permissions-commons@wikimedia.org> Thu, Apr 23, 5:55 AM to me

Dear Winograd,

Thank you for your information, your liaison work and Mr.Turpin's permission. I am writing to inform you that the permissions listed images has been verified.

The permission has been added to the file pages. Please verify that the file descriptions contain the correct author attribution you desire. If you have any concerns, please respond to this email.

Should Mr.Turpin is ready to release his permission of the remaining 5 images, please inform me at once.

Thank you for your contribution to Wikimedia Commons.

Yours sincerely, Chris Wong OTRS Volunteer


I was unable to do the interactive release as preferred by Wikimedia, so instead I have printed the email template, inserted the links, and signed it as per attached…

I hope you can forward it to them and this works out.

Good luck with it.

Mark Turpin


Fwd: [Ticket#2020041110000219]

Hi Mark, Nathaniel (photo submissions at Wikipedia), and Gary, I am forwarding Mark Turpin's (copied here) letter granting permission to use the four photos for my Puppets Against AIDS draft Wikipedia entry. Below the ticket number are links to the four photos uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. To clarify, after I originally uploaded the photos, the pictures were nominated for deletion because I do not hold the copyright on the photos; Gary Friedman (copied here), creator and former director of Puppets Against AIDS, holds the copyright on the photos. The photos were taken by late-Gisele Wulfsohn in Johannesburg. Since Gisele passed away and Gary holds the copyright, Wikipedia asked Gary to have Gisele's heir use the Wikipedia templates to grant a release under Creative Commons to put the photos in the public domain. Mark Turpin is Gisele's heir and I am forwarding his letter because he had difficulty using the Wikimedia/Wikipedia upload. Thank you, Nathaniel and Wikimedia/Wikipedia, for your assistance in this matter. See below. Best wishes, Marcy Winograd

No valid reason for deletion. This photo was created by the Associated Press and first published on April 21, 1969, in numerous newspapers in the U.S., without copyright notice. Therefore it is public domain, per {{PD-US-no-notice}}.

No papers, as far as I've found, placed a copyright notice specifically on the photo. A very small number of the papers (2 out of the first 20 I found) had a general copyright notice for the entire newspaper, in the name of the newspaper's publisher. While such a notice arguably might cover contributions licensed from other authors such as the AP (under later case law such as Fantastic Fakes v. Pickwick International), the inclusion of copyright notice on some copies is insufficient to secure a copyright. Per § 10 of the Copyright Act of 1909, notice had to be "affixed to each copy thereof published or offered for sale in the United States by authority of the copyright proprietor."

The only thing approaching a valid argument in the deletion discussion and subsequent discussion with the closing admin is (roughly paraphrasing): Virtually all newspapers from that era were copyrighted, and the AP's business model couldn't have existed if they didn't copyright their works, so there must have been some contract requiring AP members to attach copyright notice to AP works, and therefore any publications omitting that copyright notice were unauthorized publications, which did not put those works into the public domain.

This argument fails on multiple counts. First, it is not true that most newspapers of that era were copyrighted; most were not. Second, there is no evidence to suggest the existence of such a contract. Third, even if such a contract existed, the massive failure of the AP to enforce that contract rendered it ineffective in protecting the AP's copyright.

If there were such a contract, we might expect to find at least one newspaper that honored it. Yet, out of dozens of instances where this photo was published (found on Newspapers.com), not a single one that I found had a copyright notice on the photo. A few had a general copyright notice for the whole paper, but such a notice would not have been expected to cover works licensed from other authors, under the case law in existence at the time. And, more broadly, out of hundreds of newspapers I've looked at over the last several months (in the course of uploading many other Pulitzer-winning photos to Commons), not a single one made a general practice of printing copyright notices on AP photos. Can anyone produce a counter-example?

As a point of contrast, the AP did, very rarely, publish photos with copyright notice, and a substantial number of newspapers did honor that notice. For example, on the same day that "Campus Guns" was published, the AP distributed several copyrighted photos of Rudolf Hess in Spandau Prison. Out of the first 20 instances of these photos that I found, 6 of them (30%) included an AP copyright notice in the photo caption or credit. See, for example, the photos as published in The Fresno Bee and The Bismarck Tribune. So we can see what it looks like when the AP intended to copyright a photo. And that's not what we see with "Campus Guns" (or the vast majority of AP photos from that era).

Finally, even if you believe, as an article of faith, that the AP had some rule requiring its photos to be published with copyright notice, that rule was apparently universally ignored by newspapers over the course of decades. Per Nimmer on Copyright § 7.03, "whether pre-1978 or thereafter, if a licensee has published vast numbers of copies without a proper copyright notice, all of this with the full knowledge of the licensor and without the latter voicing any objection to such practice, the licensor will not thereafter be heard to claim that such publication without notice was in violation of either an express or implied condition of the license." Thus, invoking this rule to classify billions of copies of AP photos as unauthorized publications would fail. Toohool (talk) 02:16, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

  •  Comment I did a search (using academic historical newspaper databases) and it does appear that the image was published without the copyright formalities next to the photo or in the captions. As noted above, I also found that some publications did publish a general copyright notice in the issue's masthead. Whether that is sufficient, I don't know and can't say. However, I will note that AP through their general counsel's office has taken a position in the past (see en:File talk:TrangBang.jpg#Permission Obtained from AP) that such images are copyrighted and that AP "specifically does not agree that any Wikipedia publication of a copyright-protected Associated Press photo which a Wikipedia user chooses to upload would constitute fair use." Whether that is valid position, I don't know. All I know is that "With respect to any and all other photographs in which The Associated Press is the copyright holder, The Associated Press reserves all its rights." Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr. 03:59, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
  • The Assiciated Press could also be talking about copyright protection in other countries. For example, the French supreme court found that the Berne Convention doesn't allow you to apply the rule of the shorter term if the copyright has expired in the country of origin due to lack of compliance with copyright formalities. Such works would be copyrighted in France until the standard French copyright term (for example 70 years p.m.a.) or the full 95-year United States term has expired, whichever is earlier.
It is probably a bad idea to state that something is in the public domain or covered by fair use if you are the potential copyright holder. This might make courts side with the other party if you find a situation some country where you think that you would successfully be able to sue for copyvio.

  • I don't disagree, but seeing as their 2005 faxed letter was sent domestically within the US and AP is a US organisation, I believe AP is asserting copyright, although not explicitly stated, in a US context. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr. 15:38, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
    FWIW, that letter also implied that they held a copyright on Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima, which Commons editors have since determined not to be true. They have nothing to lose by making a baseless copyright claim. Toohool (talk) 04:49, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
  •  Comment Perhaps it's worth directly asking photographer Steve Starr why he's still claiming © Steve Starr 2020 for this image... --Patrick Rogel (talk) 16:30, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
    @Patrick Rogel: I don't believe he's claiming a 2020 copyright on the image. As you can see, the page contains a non-trivial amount of text, so the copyright notice is probably referring to the webpage. -- King of ♥ 18:03, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
    Yes it's on the website. But is there an impossibility to ask him anyway? --Patrick Rogel (talk) 18:57, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
    Potential copyright holders will always claim that their work is copyrighted; to not do so is legal malpractice. Their word should not be given too much weight in determining PD status. In any case, it is impossible for the photo to be copyright 2020 (unless he is claiming copyright for the scan, which we explicitly reject). Copyright renewal is no longer a thing, and even if it were a thing the correct form is "Copyright XXXX, renewed YYYY". -- King of ♥ 19:57, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
    I don't think people are in principle dishonest but you are free to think so. It was just a suggestion that appears to me to be the most logical, at least more constructive that octets of speculations on the status of the file. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 12:37, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
    Making a false claim about copyright is not necessarily dishonest. With the complicated state of affairs of US copyright pre-1978, I wouldn't be surprised if even professional photographers can't figure it out. -- King of ♥ 18:25, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
  • I think the risk here is that AP may send a DCMA takedown notice, which generally means, if we undelete here, WMF Office action and removal of the image anyways. ––Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr. 21:00, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
    Fortunately, the WMF doesn't blanket accept every DMCA that comes its way (like other content platforms such as Youtube do). At the very least we will receive a reason why AP does not believe that PD-US-no-notice applies. For now, given strong evidence that it does apply, I  Support restoration. -- King of ♥ 18:28, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

✓ Done: Per rationale provided by Toohool. If someone finds a source at the time of first publication (on or around April 21, 1969) where the copyright notice does exist or if AP files a DCMA notice that is accepted by the WMF Office, then the file will be redeleted at such time. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 19:22, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

This picture of lalit mangal is my own work and I really want to knwo the reason why it is getting deleted? I have shared the same image with everyone whoever asked for it. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 106.51.29.34 (talk) 02:30, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

  •  Support Although the article was deleted at AfD in 2015, I do see his name popping up quite a bit in Google News so he is probably on the borderline of notability; in such cases we should err on the side of inclusion so that we'll have a picture handy if the article ever gets recreated. The image is full-res and not available elsewhere per Tineye, with consistent EXIF between the three portraits uploaded by Govinda rajpurohit, so I'm inclined to accept the claim of own work. -- King of ♥ 03:34, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

    I feel like our scope should be broader than Wikipedia; if a file is used on Wikipedia it is automatically in scope, but the inverse need not be true.

    @King of Hearts: I remind you article has been first speedy deleted 2013 and 2015 then another time after community discussion in 2015 and protected to creation after being repeatedly recreated so I wonder how it can "reasonably likely to be used in a recreated Wikipedia article".

  •  Oppose - I don't know what KoH is talking about. Inconsistency is everywhere. The EXIF for this image is consistent with only two other images the user has uploaded - both also commonfloor executives. These three images are professionally staged, of professional quality, of purportedly notable persons, and taken with a professional camera (Canon EOS 5D Mark III, whose body alone costs nearly $3,000.) This looks like the user was uploading corporate press images, which would be consistent with their en.wiki block for promotion of this entity. The EXIF is inconsistent with other undeleted images uploaded by this user (e.g., File:Old art in khichan.jpg, File:Hawa jali in khichan.jpg, etc.) all of which are taken with a mere consumer camera (NIKON D70s) and are obviously the work of an amateur. It is simply not believable that the same person took these images. Further, the user's deleted contribs contain unambiguous COM:NETCOPYVIOs of related subject matter, which further undermines credibility. Doubt here is well past significant, the COM:PRP threshold.

The file was provided to me by the person in the photograph. Accordingly, it was clicked on his phone and it's unethical to delete the file without asking for any valid proof. I would request you to consider this undeletion request.--Pankajraman (talk) 12:33, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - @Pankajraman: please familiarise yourself with COM:AGF and refrain from characterising the actions of others as "unethical," especially when your premise is so completely uninformed. 1) Copyright initially vests with the author of an image (the creator, not the owner of a mere apparatus--presumably you do not think that writing a novel on a public library computer would cause the novel's copyright to vest with the library); 2) the subject of the photograph would hold the copyright only if transferred to them by the author (photographer) through a formal written conveyance (evidence of which you have not 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)); and 3) even if that transfer occurred, COM:OTRS requires evidence of permission for previously published images. This image was published here (which says, by the way, "©2020 All rights reserved") before upload to Common; and 4) the preceeding is in fact moot, as this is not a notable person and the article for which you uploaded it is nominated for certain deletion (see COM:NOTHOST). Эlcobbola talk 14:50, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
  •  Support@Эlcobbola I am sorry for using the term unethical. I have gone through the the COM:AGF and would like to ask you for further advice on how to provide the proof that is being asked so that I don't commit the same mistake again. Your help will be much appreciated.--Pankajraman (talk) 15:57, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
@Pankajraman: supporting or opposing own request is pointless. Opinions of advanced users matter here. You claimed that this is a selfie. That is clearly false. If you cannot properly identify the photo author, how can we rely on your declaration that the author has already granted the free license? And, if the license has not been granted yet, the photo should be speedy deleted due to legal reasons. The above sentence suggests that you do not even intend to fix your mistakes. So how can we apply AGF?  Oppose unless proper information about author / granted license is provided (here or following COM:OTRS). And the license is the information that we require an evidence for. The only exception is when the autor uploads their own non-professional work. Ankry (talk) 17:39, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
Pankajraman, I would even go further: supporting your own request is detrimental to your case. It insults the closing admin (implying they care about icons rather than substantive arguments); implies you have only icons (and no substantive argument) to offer; and can be interpreted as an attempt at deception (implying there is more support than there actually is). This is, of course, an argument about optics rather than intent; you are not assisted by bad optics. Эlcobbola talk 18:05, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

This file has been removed as being provided by the Imperial Household Agency, which is a complete misunderstanding. First of all, the image is not provided by the Imperial Household Agency, and there is no such description. I am familiar with Imperial Household copyrights as I have uploaded many photos of the Japanese Imperial Household. Again, this deletion is unfounded. I will not upload images that say "Provided by the Imperial Household Agency" on the page. The website of the Japanese Embassy in China does not say that it is provided by the Imperial Household Agency, so we can determine that this file complies with the Japanese Government Standard Terms of Use. We request that you withdraw the deletion.--RSSFSO (talk) 15:00, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

The photo was published earlier here with the folowing information:
This handout photo taken on February 12, 2018 and released by the Imperial Household Agency of Japan on February 22 [...] (AFP/file)
@RSSFSO: Please advice: is this information incorrect (we would need an evidence for this), was the copyright to this photo transferred from the Imperial Household Agency to Japanese government (we would need an evidence for this), or there was a free license granted directly by the Imperial Household Agency (we would need an evidence for this). As there is a doubt who is the copyright holder to this photo and so, whether the government was authorised to grant a license for the photo, we cannot undelete it per COM:PCP until the doubts are resolved.

Copyright in Spain for content by authors dead before 7 December 1987 lasts 80 years after the death, per this, not 80+1. Joaquim Mir died in 27 April 1940. Strakhov (talk) 21:06, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

 Support Restoring all of the works above that have dates.
 Oppose Restoring the undated works. All of these works were under copyright on the URAA date. All of those above with dates are pre-1925, so URAA exempt. However the WP:ES article lists two works with 1926 dates, so we know that some of his works are still under URAA copyright and therefore cannot assume that the undated works above are out of copyright. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:53, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
See also ca:Joaquim Mir i Trinxet#Obres destacades: the latest dated work in that list is from "c. 1935". Another problem with paintings is that a painting may remain unpublished for a long time after it was made, so some of the paintings could in theory first have been published after his death. --Stefan2 (talk) 16:04, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
Stefan, that's true in many places, but I don't think it is a problem in Spain. The post-1987 copyright lasts for 70 years pma or 70 years after creation. The pre-1987 copyright law calls for 80 years pma when the author is known. Publication does not seem to be an issue. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:21, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
The problem with publication is about United States law. All works by this painter were copyrighted in Spain on the URAA date, so only those which were published more than 95 years ago are in the public domain in the US. You were the one who first brought up United States law. --Stefan2 (talk) 12:06, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

  • According to COM:PUBLISH, exhibition does not qualify as publication in most countries. Evidence of publication for a painting could include, but is not limited to, exhibition catalogs or art books that include reproductions of the painting, prints made available for sale to the public, or a digital reproduction on a museum's website. It's also worth noting that, per COM:HIRTLE, previously unpublished works, or works first published in 2003 or later, have a copyright term of the artist's life plus 70 years. clpo13(talk) 21:25, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
  • We typically tend to assume publication near the time the works were made. If there is some evidence that a painting was kept in the author's possession for a long time, that could change the assumptions -- but to me, the possibility of being unpublished (and therefore not PD-US-expired) is a theoretical doubt, not a significant doubt, and not subject to COM:PCP.  Support any of the the ones dated before 1925.

The co-executors of the photographer Richard Anliot's estate have given permission for the Oliver LaGrone 1972, photographed by Richard Anliot.jpg to be freely licensed. Their permission statement(s) uses an earlier title for the same photo, File:LaGrone UCH chldrn class (2) edited-1.jpg. The mix up occurred due to multiple misunderstandings of process, and geographic distance.

The co-executors of the Anliot estate, the photographer's adult children, each individually emailed their joint permission statement to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. Ticket number 2020050210003241 was merged with 2020042310005031, regarding emailed scans of a single jointly signed letter from Linda Anliot Miller and James Anliot.

Their permission statement(s) used an earlier, February 2018 title for the same photo, "LaGrone UCH chldrn class (2) edited-1.jpg". (The photo has been edited to remove the faces of living persons.) However, because their first attempts at permissions had not been submitted in the Wikimedia required format, by June 2020 the photo under that title had already been deleted by Wikimedia. When I reloaded it in 2020, I used the title Oliver LaGrone 1972, photographed by Richard Anliot.jpg.

A single photo is referred to by two different titles because of miscommunication. There is no ambiguity of intent. Please un-delete the photo, using whichever title is preferred by Wikimedia. Cordell Affeldt (talk) 17:07, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello there!

The image, Alexandre Arraes, was uploaded by me and a few days later I requested its deletion. At that time, there was a misunderstanding about the file. However, the file is correct and photo is from a government webpage, the chamber of councilors of Rio de Janeiro's city. http://www.camara.rj.gov.br/vereador_informacoes.php?m1=inform&cvd=327&np=AlexandreArraes&nome_politico=Alexandre%20Arraes So, the photo is a public file, according with Brazil's law.

Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely,

Well, the comment seem to be unrelated to the deletion rationale (scope) of the deleted pictures. Also located in another DR (which was kept, BTW). Ankry (talk) 17:34, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
@Fingertipsandcompany: OTRS can be used to resolve copyright related issues, not scope issues. To go on here we need an explanation why the deleted images are in COM:SCOPE? Works by non-notable artists are out of scope and atrist's notability has to be proven (one of the ways to do so - but not the only one - is pointing out a Wikipedia article about the artist). Ankry (talk) 17:34, 15 June 2020 (UTC)


I was trying to prove to Rogel notability of artist Andrey Kulagin by next articles:(Showing them again-they are from my ND page)
1) On 12 April 2020 I have given next evidence of notability: "Here is a book fragment with info about Andrey Kulagin ("Ukraine's honorary names - the state's elite") http://logos-ukraine.com.ua/project/index.php?project=piued5&id=2406"
2) On 26 May 2020 I have added this: "Let me start from next ukranian journal ("RESIDENTS.UA Encyclopedy of life") (turn to pages 59-61 please): https://docplayer.ru/56076651-Rubrika-2-residents-ua-enciklopediya-zhizni.html" You can find the bio of Andrey Kulagin and his works".

@Fingertipsandcompany: Images are unrelated to painter's notability and their presence does not matter for accepting the article or not. They can be added later. And articles in Wikipedia are never "finished" as they can be edited by anybody at any time... Ankry (talk) 06:34, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

 Not done: per the discussion. Notability is not directly relevant here--The main issue is whether or not the images are in scope. There is currently no page across any of the projects concerning this artist--no article in a mainspace, no article in the draftspace, no sandbox page in the userspace, no Wikidata entry--i.e. zero evidence across any of the other projects. I am, therefore, declining this undeletion request. Fingertipsandcompany can submit a new UDR only when something is in the works (an article, a draft, a draft in a userspace sandbox, etc).

This file was deleted by EugeneZelenko however the logo consisted in the letter PLN and this symbol:

File:Logo PSOE, 1976-2001.svg

In fact it was basically the same logo just with PLN instead of PSOE. So I'm not sure what's the problem. If the socialist rose logo is in public domain why wouldn't be able to be used with a different acronym? --Daioshin (talk) 16:20, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

  •  Comment Some folks have argued that the rose that the 'rose in the fist' (Rose au poing) is below the threshold of originality and therefore is in public domain. While others are of the opposite opinion. I believe whether such an image is below or above ToO depends on the jurisdiction. As far as I can tell, the rose au poing originated in France when the Parti socialiste (French Socialist Party) adopted the symbol as their logo in 1971. What is notable here is that French Wikipedia treats the original logo fr:Fichier:Parti Socialiste (emblème).svg as a copyrighted image. In short, per the context and the information provided, I believe that each rose au poing logo should be treated as a derivative work of the French Socialist Rose au poing. However, as I've stated before, whether such an image is below or above ToO depends on the jurisdiction. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 19:10, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
  •  Comment I will note, however, that while the fist is that of PSOE/Socialist International, the rose itself is very different. And appears to be quite non-trivial and appears to be above COM:TOO. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 22:21, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
    • Is there any risk for any of this two files to be deleted anytime soon? I think I can make the PLN logo using any of both, in the first case just by changing PSOE for PLN in green color and on the second just by adding PLN or maybe even with the logo as it is right now as the Andalucian flag is similar to the PLN flag. --Daioshin (talk) 23:00, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

  •  Oppose (1) Fair use is not permitted on Wikimedia Commons; (2) You claimed PD on some of the works, but the photo of a work in PD and an interpretation of a Coat of arms attracts their own copyright--and, therefore, cannot be hosted here without permission and specific release under a free licence from the copyright holder (3) You claimed {{Self}} in the licencing of the third image, but you are not the author and I doubt the copyright holder. For the possibility of undeletion, the copyright holder must send permission and a specific release under an acceptable free licence using OTRS.

  • @Sword313: Mentioning the source does not mean that the work is in public domain. Furthermore, the source websites for the coats of arms do not mention the images being under a free licence, and, in fact, one of them has a clear copyright notice. Again, while a version of a coat of arms may be in public domain, a photo of it or a rendering/drawing of the arms can attract its own copyright and, therefore, be protected.

I oppose nothing. In fact I don't understand how Twitter and Clubic may validate an ownership... --Patrick Rogel (talk) 15:12, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - Previously published images require additional evidence of permission. That permission can be via OTRS (and the Twitter profile linked by KoH does have an email address, so that method is not useless) or by a tweet. That the uploader has ignored guidance here and instead elected merely to reupload the image out-of-process is particularly bad optics and suggests the issue cannot be remedied (i.e., they are not in fact the photographer). This circumstance would be consistent with another of their uploads also claiming self authorship yet containing metadata crediting "Laurent GRANDGUILLOT/REA". The uploader is not simultaneously Alexandre Boero and Laurent Grandguillot. Эlcobbola talk 15:25, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
Twitter may be a solution if this image has been published earlier on Twitter. But has it? --Patrick Rogel (talk) 15:52, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
That's not relevant. The known author is Alexandre Boero and that author has a known Twitter account. If that account tweets that this image has a free license, that is all that is needed. Эlcobbola talk 15:59, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
Alexandre Boero may well post a photo which is not his own work, as you suggest yourself ("they are not in fact the photographer"). Hence the questionː has this photo being posted on Twitter before being uploaded here? Because if I remember well when I put this image on deletion it came not from Twitter (but I may be wrong; I've no access to this picture anymore). --Patrick Rogel (talk) 16:39, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't think you do either. The link evidencing a copyright violation, that you provided, says for this image "Credits: Alexandre Boero for Clubic.com." That article, authored by Alexandre Boero, also links to this twitter account. This image is the work of Alexandre Boero. We have evidence that the Twitter account is controlled by Alexandre Boero. A tweet from that account would thus adequate. If you believe the account untrustworthy, why would the email (which we know through the same linkage as the twitter account (!!!)) be any better? (The "they" in ""they are not in fact the photographer" refers to European Gold Fish. It is clear that European Gold Fish ≠ Alexandre Boero ≠ Laurent Grandguillot. That European Gold Fish is untrustworthy has no reflection on Alexandre Boero; the latter is merely a victim of former.) Эlcobbola talk 16:56, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
You are rightː I don't know what I'm talking since as I've said to you I have no access to deleted files and I don't always remember the sources of the few hundreds files I put on deletion each day. My memory is not fullproff, sorry for the disturbance. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 16:58, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

  1. As a purely technical matter, there is no way to us to verify here that you are who you say you are.
  2. If you are Eric Bourdon, then the issue becomes whether or not you are the photographer, as you are the subject of the photograph. The copyright holder is the person who took the photo rather than the person who appears in it, unless transferred by operation of law or by contract (written and signed by the original copyright holder).
I would recommend contacting OTRS (permission-commons@wikimedia.org) to resolve these issues. Thank you for your understanding. Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 08:28, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - Per Nat. As uploader no doubt noticed, no verification was required to create the account "Eric Bourdon Media." Any user can create any name; accordingly, we require additional evidence in these circumstances. Further, as copyright initially vests with the author (photographer), that permission cannot come from the subject. The evidence can be, for example, a formal written conveyance transferring copyright from the author to the subject or direct correspondence from the author. Both may be submitted using the process at COM:OTRS. Эlcobbola talk 15:42, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit.

Purpose of Use: Identification and critical commentary in the Animal Logic article, a subject of public interest. The image confirms to readers they have reached the correct article, and illustrates the group.

Replaceable?: No free alternative could be created to illustrate the topic in question. The band have been split for eighteen years, and a new one is unlikely. A free contemporary image would not convey the same information.

Other Information: Use of the promotional photograph in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopaedic.
The "Animal Logic", and "I.R.S. Records" logos are visible framing the photo, supporting the claim that it was originally used to promote the band.

Hi, anybody hanging around who can take a look at May 8, 2016? There is an Image Not Available on the Lenin Kino-Pravda N° 21 is a Russian silent newsreel of 1925 made by Dziga Vertov to celebrate the first anniversary of the death of Lenin. It starts with Fanny Kaplan's attempt to assassinate Lenin in 1918, moves to his illness and death, and ends with his legacy. Thank you for your time. :-) Lotje (talk) 08:25, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

FOP in Belgium since 2016

Hello, Wenn I began taking pictures for Commons I was a new user, I had not received any training and I had never heard about POP. This is the reason why many of my pictures were deleted. And it was right to do so. As you know, fortunatelly the policy about FOP in Belgium changed in 2016 (FOP in Belgium). For this reason you can now undelete all the pictures below, which were taken in Brussel (Belgium). Thank you very much, my friends :-)

        • @Brianjd: Thanks for the tip. But how? how can i proof that? Currently for around one year i am in ArWiki, and i work on Arabic poets, this is my routine : I make sure the person is notable, i create the article in ArWiki, i make its entire in Wikidata, then i look for pictures of him/her in public domain/creative commons/expired (70/50/30 years after publishing) contents (like File:Hanadi Al-Jowder - May 26, 2020 (02).jpg). If the person is alive, and there is no creative commons file about him/her, i go look after the person in social media or just make contanct via offcial website. If the person reply me, i really became happy, and ask him/her to send me some not-published pictures and gave me its copyright. Well, while i get bored sometimes to explain them how Commons works and why the copyright is matter, But the result enjoy me, Just like this two files. I worked hard to conect her, she gave me the copyright and i see now they are deleted. --Ruwaym (talk) 11:31, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
          • @Ruwaym: You do it by following the OTRS instructions. It sounds like you have already done this. So now you need to wait. Like Nat said, if what you sent to OTRS is OK, the OTRS agent will restore the files. Brianjd (talk) 11:41, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Image was deleted under the argument that on the EXIF data the photographer was credited as Rocket Lab, yet on the same EXIF data on the copyright section it redirects you to the NASA guideline which is public domain. If someone usually publishes images under "all rights reserved" doesn't mean that they always do, for example, SpaceX publishes their image under the CC-BY-NC license but for File:Crew Dragon Demo-2 Bob and Doug.jpg they published it with CC-Zero. What is likely is that Rocket Lab created the images and then ceded them to NASA.--BugWarp (talk) 20:17, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

See discussion at File talk:KSC-20181201-PH RKL01 0002.jpg. The Guideline referred to above explicitly states "NASA occasionally uses copyrighted material by permission on its website. Those images will be marked copyright with the name of the copyright holder. NASA's use does not convey any rights to others to use the same material. Those wishing to use copyrighted material must contact the copyright holder directly." Rocket Lab is clearly identified in the same EXIF as the originator of the image. Huntster (t @ c) 20:29, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - The purported {{PD-USGov-NASA}} template applies to content "created by NASA" because, indeed, per its basis in 17 U.S.C. § 105 "Copyright protection [...] is not available for any work of the United States Government." 17 U.S.C. § 105 also says "but the United States Government is not precluded from receiving and holding copyrights transferred to it by assignment, bequest, or otherwise." A work a Rocket Lab is not eligible for the {{PD-USGov-NASA}} (it is not created by NASA, or any other federal entity) nor is a reference to NASA's Media Usage Guidelines a license or evidence of freeness (the guidelines even say, for example, "NASA material [distinct from Rocket Lab material] is not protected by copyright unless noted. If copyrighted, permission should be obtained from the copyright owner prior to use.") Per COM:EVID, the burden of proof lies on the uploader or other person arguing for the file to be retained to demonstrate that the image is in the public domain or is properly licensed; that has not been provided here. Эlcobbola talk 20:35, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
  •  Support While not a NASA-authored image, contracting parties quite often allow media to be used under the same basic terms (i.e. no real copyright). We typically still use the PD-USGov-NASA tag for those, when they are hosted on NASA sites. See m:Wikilegal/NASA images; NASA should note when there is third-party copyright, and they did not do so here. The EXIF clearly makes reference to the NASA image rights pages. It certainly seems as though the photograph was published with expectations that it would go out under that image policy. Rocket Lab is given the credit, but that's not the same thing as a note of commercial use restrction. Carl Lindberg (talk) 20:54, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
  • As Huntster stated above, the terms state: NASA occasionally uses copyrighted material by permission on its website. Those images will be marked copyright with the name of the copyright holder. NASA's use does not convey any rights to others to use the same material. Those wishing to use copyrighted material must contact the copyright holder directly.. The only explicit notices are the name of the author (Rocket labs) and a link to the terms. In a case like this, the assumption must be that the image is copyrighted and the copyright is held by Rocket Labs. Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 01:19, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
    • Not exactly, NASA says they will usually mark such images with a copyright note that commercial use is not allowed. As the Wikilegal text says, Notice of copyright, however, should not necessarily be conflated with attribution given to parties that contributed to an image. Credit given to a contributing individual or institution may not necessarily mean that the attributed individual or institution also holds a copyright in the image. Contributing a photo to KSC's website is generally done with knowing that such photos are treated as public domain. This seems to be more that case, just giving attribution, with the intent to treat it like NASA-authored images. Carl Lindberg (talk) 01:28, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
      • Except that I'm not aware (at least not off the top of my head) of any image on the site that's explicitly marked with a copyright note of that nature. By that argument, literally every image therefore is public domain, which makes no sense. I'm sorry, but other space agencies like Roscosmos and ESA do not release their images to the public domain. I feel like you're operating on the opposite end of the spectrum from the precautionary principle. Huntster (t @ c) 04:13, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
        • They are typically marked "Courtesy of" when they came from outside a typical NASA program, I think -- see for example this image. In the end, it is what the authors intended to do with their copyright. Even for that one, you could even argue that simply giving a photo like that to NASA without any restrictions is basically assuming it will be treated as PD, with just an author credit. However in that case, the "Copyright" section of the EXIF does say "Courtesy of the Washington Nationals", which may be an indication that further permission should be obtained, so I could understand not allowing that. In this case, the Copyright mention in the EXIF explicitly points to NASA's own image policies, indicating this should be treated the same way. Many NASA projects do require collaborators to put the results into the public domain -- the PD-USGov-NASA tag is still the most convenient for those when published on a NASA site. See for example here, where most things are PD by contract unless copyright is explicitly reserved, but they still want attribution. Obviously, other entities may do things differently. The precautionary principle is for significant doubts, not theoretical ones. I can't realistically think that the author really intended to exercise copyright control when they publish an image on a NASA website, and explicitly point to NASA image use guidelines from a Copyright section. There is no explicit statement to the contrary. Carl Lindberg (talk) 18:43, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

 Not done: Per the discussion. As this is not the work of a US Federal Government agency and it is the work of a non-governmental, private entity, there must be substantial evidence (1) that the file is in public domain as a result of copyright assignment or transfer; OR (2) that the image is freely licenced. While m:Wikilegal/NASA images does cover "Images Hosted by NASA", it notes that "unfortunately NASA’s stated policy is unclear on when copyright, rather than mere credit, is indicated." and the redirect to NASA's terms of use does not clarify the file's copyright status, but is much more of an indication that the image is copyrighted rather than being in public domain. For those who disagree with this decision: The next steps should be, if one is willing, to contact Rocket Lab and/or NASA on this particular question and have OTRS (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org) in cc. If the response is positive, we can proceed with undeletion. Thank you for your understanding. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 23:03, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello,

I work on the representation team for Kimberly L. Wehle. Kim had asked us to update her wikipedia page for her as she is uncertain of who created the original page in the first place. She had provided me with the attached photo to be put up on the page. It is a headshot of herself, that she has also used on her website. We would like for permission to use this photo on her wikipedia page. Please let me know how I can accomplish this properly?

  •  Oppose I have examined the photo uploaded and its source, and it is a copyrighted image. The alleged source is not the copyright holder and it credits someone else. Uploading an image not under an acceptable free licence is, by definition, a copyright violation. The quoted section of copyright law does not define the image in question as public domain, but is akin to the US concept of fair use or similar to non-commercial free use--both of which is not permitted on Wikimedia Commons.

    • @Nat: -- thank you! I was wondering if you could share with me, so I can avoid situations like these in the future and bothering everyone involved with my mistake here. Can you explain where it was you found that picture's ownership or attribution back to it's source? I checked the tags in the file and they were apparently cleaned to save precious bytes on the JawaPos.com CDN (I guess??) -- I suppose I didn't try running a TinEye or reverse image search on it, but if that's simply all you did, I'm going to feel like a real doofus. Thanks again! Cheers! Wikin00b1979 (talk) 15:55, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
      • @Wikin00b1979: You’re going to feel ike a real real doofus when I tell you the answer: you posted the source yourself a full 40 minutes before @Nat’s comment. (I assume that @Nat is referring to the copyright notice at the bottom of that article. Since I can’t read Indonesian, I can’t go any further.) On a more serious note: The admins here regularly run reverse image searches using services like TinEye when an image’s source or copyright status is in doubt. Brianjd (talk) 16:05, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
        • @BrianJD: ahhh, are you talking about this at the bottom of the page??? "© 2020 PT Jawa Pos Multimedia Group"? If so, then that's clear enough, but I was looking for more attribution to the photographer -- I suppose the PT Jawa Pos Multimedia Group could also be the copyright holder assuming that the photo was taken by the newspaper, but I do have my doubts about that. There are several other articles that she has appeared in where she is on laying on top of a car, it seems a bit too over the top for a Newspaper photographer to setup that kind of shot -- but what do I know!?  :-D Thanks, again guys. I'll be more cautious in the future. We can close out this request now, unless there is any more housekeeping that needs to be done with it. Wikin00b1979 (talk) 16:25, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
          • @Wikin00b1979: You used a different capitalisation for my name. A reasonable capitalisation, actually. But the software does not recognise it and the software failed to tell me that you had mentioned my name.
          That is the coypright notice I was talking about. I agree that there’s a good chance that the photo came from elsewhere, but it doesn’t really matter. If a photo has been previously published, and there’s no free licence notice, and none of the PD tags apply, then we have to assume it’s a copyright violation and delete it. An admin will close this request soon. Brianjd (talk) 16:38, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

The file has been deleted. When I said that there are many files from the materials of the investigation cases of the MGB and the NKVD, they were also put up for deletion, but they were left. Please restore the file for the same reasons. Kolchak1923 (talk) 11:29, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

 Question @Kolchak1923: You declared this file to be {{PD-Russia}}. Which exactly clause of 1-5 from this template applies to this image? A work by unknown author, published in 2003 will be PD in 2074. You need to provide appropriate copyright information and/or appropriate source related to it. Ankry (talk) 17:46, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
Originally there was {{PD-RU-exempt}} paragraph 1. Kolchak1923 (talk) 22:32, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 Support then as other materials of [...] judicial character Ankry (talk) 17:07, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Hmm. @Ankry: Per Alex Spade's points on Commons:Deletion requests/File:MGB Rodzaevsky.jpg, it appears that jurisprudence does not support the image falling under {{PD-RU-exempt}}: "No. The state creates many, many works, but not all of them are uncopyrighted. Criminal proceeding has not got judicial nature. As I said, only docs from court itself had got judicial nature (plz, read for example Комментарий к ГК РФ. М.: Кодекс, 2007, первый абзац на стр. 128). In this case judicial nature is судебных характер in Russian, not юридический характер in Russian. In addition, criminal proceeding has not got judicial nature as whole, it is not edict, order, direction, etc. These docs are example of administrative docs. Some parts of criminal proceeding can be uncopyrighted (for example, arrest warrant, search warrant), but not all of them.
    In addition, freedom must be proved, not vice versa. So, plz give us jurisprudent commentaries or court decisions in Russia, where mug shots descibed as part of {{PD-RU-exempt}}. I never saw them: I only know some commentaries (not court decisions), where mug shots (and shots for passports and similar docs) descibed as possible part of {{PD-trivial}}, but they are not suitable for us - in US-law such work are enough untrivial.
    [...]
    {{PD-RU-exempt}} is extremely different from {{PD-USGov}}. As I said, the ru-State creates many, many works. According to ru-law copyright-holder (including State or more exactly its specific agency) isn't obliged to indicate which its work is copyrighted. The specific agency (or control agencies) could close their eyes in relation to the wide spreading of some material from them without its/their permission, but such silence action is not reason to declare, that respecive material is un-copyrighted. Is this photowork used in history-scientific works and in press? It is nothing for us. They don't need permission from agency, they just use Russian analog of fairuse (article 1274 - free use for scientific, educational and informational purposes)

  • Strange, several dozens of similar images remained with this license, and what started it all was deleted, and it is proposed not to be restored. Kolchak1923 (talk) 21:50, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

 Not done: {{PD-RU-exempt}} covers official documents and not official works. Per the same template: Warning – This Russian official document, state symbol or sign (postage stamps, coins and banknotes mainly) may incorporate one or more works that can be copyrightable if separated from this document, symbol or sign. In such a case, this work is not an object of copyright if reused in its entirety but, at the same time, extracting specific portions from this work could constitute copyright infringement. As such, one could argue that the image is in public domain if published as part of a document and that document is published in its entirety but the image on its own may be subject to copyright. I am, therefore, declining this undeletion request based on this reasoning. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 03:31, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Das Foto wird auf die 1920er Jahre geschätzt, der Fotograf ist unbekannt, die Einträge rechts oben und unten lassen jedoch annehmen, dass es sich um einen Berufsfotografen gehandelt hat. Dies waren damals auch infolge der Komplexität von Technik und Logistik (Fahrten zum Objekt) ältere Männer, sodass die Annahme gerechtfertigt ist, dass der Fotograf vor mindestens 70 Jahren verstorben ist. Das Bild befindet sich heute in einem Archiv („Archiv Rolf Bendel“ wie angegeben), das auch einen offiziellen Status in der Gemeinde Küssaberg besitzt. Dies spielt jedoch keine Rolle — es ist lediglich der Quellennachweis — im Zusammenhang der freien Verfügbarkeit sollte die Lizenz „PD-old-70“ hier ausreichend sein.

This file is not a copyvio. The nominator, User:NedFausa, has also been trimming the subject's Wikipedia page, see en:Talk:Rebekah Jones. NedFausa claimed FSU copyright because the photo was previously posted here. I can't see the file, but I assume it looks similar or is a copy, though it just looks like a homedesk selfie to me. In any case, that link to academia.edu should prove the image did in fact come from the subject, since academia.edu is not affiliated with any academic institution, but is a general place for academics and others to share papers and blogs. I also have an account there to read papers. By posting a selfie there, the subject did not relinquish copyright and the photo is a perfectly fine selfie, suitable for Commons. Jane023 (talk) 15:07, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

@Georebekah: Are you Rebekah Jones? If that is the case, and the photo is a selfie, please send us an email following the instructions at COM:RELGEN. In order for us to verify your identity, you should use either an email affiliated with an academic institution, or the Gmail account listed on your Academia.edu CV. -- King of ♥ 15:18, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
Why is the link I posted not enough? She already stated it's hers on the talkpage of the WP article. Obviously she is the only one logging in to that account on Academia - you can't add another profile photo to someone else's account. Think of it like facebook for paper-sharers. Jane023 (talk) 15:23, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
OK, the Twitter account appears to endorse the authenticity of the Wikimedia account. The pose makes it believable that it could be a selfie, so we'll believe her if she says it's a selfie. But we actually need her to state that. -- King of ♥ 17:11, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
@King of Hearts: Please explain what you mean by "the Twitter account appears to endorse the authenticity of the Wikimedia account." Thank you. NedFausa (talk) 14:20, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
The Wikimedia account is called Georebekah, which matches her Twitter account (which is not a common name), so it is at least claiming to be her. The fact that the Wikimedia account uploaded the photo one afternoon and she proceeds to tweet out a screenshot of her Wikipedia profile the same night makes it implausible that the Wikimedia account is an imposter. -- King of ♥ 14:30, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
@King of Hearts: Thanks for your reply. But you're assuming, of course, that @GeoRebekah is the authentic account of Rebekah Jones. However, despite being six years old, that account is not verified by Twitter. (Their verified account program was put "on hold" 18½ months ago.) It seems to me you are inferring something supported only by circumstantial evidence. Is that really enough to override the published Copyright claim of Florida State University Academia ©2020? NedFausa (talk) 15:29, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
Her Twitter is linked from her personal website https://geojones.org/, which has existed since 2017 per the Internet Archive. Technically none of them show up on her Academia.edu profile, but it is ridiculously unlikely that an imposter can maintain a fake personal website for three years and amass 18.9K Twitter followers without someone noticing in all this time. -- King of ♥ 15:36, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
@King of Hearts: Thanks again. However, this all leads back to the single-purpose Wikimedia account User:Georebekah, which as you said "is at least claiming to be her." (Emphasis added.) Relying on that unverifiable claim, instead of on the published copyright claim of a reputable university that has been in continuous operation since 1851, is in my opinion unjustified. NedFausa (talk) 15:46, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
Academia.edu is a "social networking website for academics", and anything on her profile is controlled by her and no different from Twitter or LinkedIn. The generic copyright tagline "Academia ©2020" is obviously false for any user-submitted content. If she confirms that the photo is in fact a selfie, then I would be satisfied. -- King of ♥ 16:33, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

  2. ja:File:Chibadera_sta01.jpg = File:Chibadera sta01.jpg - deleted as copyvio - why?
  3. ja:File:Daqiao04.jpg = File:Daqiao04.jpg it is from http://px820.onmitsu.jp/kankou/daqiao/daqiao.html and deleted because there was no permission.

Perhaps someone who speak Japanese can have a look and see if the text is okay for Commons.

I can of course only see the text on ja.wiki (via Google Translate) so there may be added some additional information on Commons that gives a good reason to delete the files.

@Thuresson: Please ignore my statement about File:Deguzmanemanuelofpup.jpg. Back to the topic, the image, being taken from https://www.pup.edu.ph/news/?go=U/c2oqQ50hM= the website of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, is controlled by the government of the Philippines. When you scroll down all the way to the bottom of the page, you would find the statement, "Republic of the Philippines, All content is in the public domain unless otherwise stated," therefore releasing the image in question to the public domain. The image is also backed by: {{PD-PhilippinesGov}}. I apologize for the misrepresentation of the license of the image. --Phwikimaker12 (talk) 18:37, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose State-owned universities are typically not considered a government agency or department or a government-owned and controlled corporation as defined by Phillipines law (a list of GOCCs can be found here), and, therefore, {{PD-PhilippinesGov}} may not apply. Furthermore, the website of the institution in question has the following notice on its website, "© 1998-2020 Polytechnic University of the Philippines." That being said, on the university executive page has a second notice, "Republic of the Philippines All content is in the public domain unless otherwise stated." However, the "...unless otherwise stated." is key here as just above it is the first notice asserting copyright. Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr. 20:31, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
  • (Edit conflict)  Support I disagree with Nat, I do think that the PUP is GOCC. Expecting documents produced by the Philippine government bureaucracy to be complete is a mistake; this is one of my preferred contribution areas so I have lots of experience reading them. I've found Supreme Court cases to be the most reliable information on the bureaucracy, and at least Alliance of Government Workers, et al. v. Minister of Labor and Employment, et al. ([7]) seems to point to the PUP being a GOCC. All the PUP's assets including its campus came from the State, so I'd be shocked if it wasn't a GOCC. Psiĥedelisto (talk) 21:07, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
  • @Psiĥedelisto: Publicly-funded higher/post-secondary education institutions in the Philippines are defined as "State Universities and Colleges" or SUCs and not as "government-owned and controlled corporation" or GOCC in various Philippines legislation and government materials. Additionally, it appears that all SUCs make an assertion of copyright and other IP claims (at least on their websites) while GOCC generally do not. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr. 22:53, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
Actually, wait a minute. Republic Act 8293, indeed, doesn't say anything like "unless otherwise noted". So I was about to tell Phwikimaker12 that actually it doesn't matter at all that they say it's copyrighted. But I may have found a worse problem in RA 8293 § 176:

No copyright shall subsist in any work of the Government of the Philippines. However, prior approval of the government agency or office wherein the work is created shall be necessary for exploitation of such work for profit.

  •  Comment I do believe you may have just stumbled upon something. As stated on the creativecommons.org website, Commercial purposes refer to the intent for commercial advantage or monetary compensation, and the text found on RA 8293,

".....for exploitation of such work for profit,"

does correlate to the definition of 'commercial purposes.' Phwikimaker12 (talk) 21:43, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
@Phwikimaker12: I was wrong, thank God! I've changed my !vote back to  Support for your undeletion request; if you want to know why I'm wrong, I've opened an edit request on Template_talk:PD-PhilippinesGov#Clear_up_unclear_wording. Psiĥedelisto (talk) 23:50, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

 Not done: due to uncertainty if SUGs are indeed part of the Government of the Philippines or just institutions that are funded by the government. Universities and Colleges in the Philippines assert copyright on their websites. For the possibility of undeletion, please contact the university administration via email to confirm whether or not works published by the university are in public domain in the Philippines and please have OTRS cc'ed using the address permissions-commons@wikimedia.org.

I took and uploaded this photo that has been deleted. File:Activists paint "Defund the Police" on the street in Baltimore.jpg To crop the photo to remove folx faces, I took a screen shot on my own device and realize that is the reason it was deleted, but confirm I took the photo. What's the best next step here? --Kiraface (talk) 20:23, 22 June 2020 (UTC)


 Not done: As there is no way to confirm here that the Kiraface is in fact the photographer, we cannot proceed with undeletion. However, the version with its full EXIF metadata can be uploaded. If privacy of those photographed is an issue, @Kiraface: you can use a number of free applications on a mobile device (such as Adobe Photoshop Lightroom mobile) to crop the images. If you are transferring the image file from your computer to your mobile device or vis-versa, please avoid using a Facebook product (such as Facebook, its messager, Whatsapp) as that will completely overwrite the metatdata. To check if the metadata is still there, you can use tool such as Jeffrey's Image Metadata Viewer before trying to upload.

I am respectfully requesting the undeletion of the above file.

I am a representative of the Jeff Healey Estate and the Jeff Healey Archives. I am the one who uploaded the file in question some time ago. We hold the copyright to the file and I believe when I uploaded it I had to give permission to allow the file to be used freely. That has not changed.

Not certain why four years later someone would decide to arbitrarily delete it.

Thank you for your time.

  • How did it come about that the estate of Jeff Healey owns the copyright to this photo of Jeff Healey? Thuresson (talk) 11:48, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose @Rog9000: Ownership or possession of a photo, proprietorship of the equipment used to take the photo, or being the subject of the photo does not equate 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, etc.) or by contract (written and signed by the copyright holder, and explicitly transfers the copyright). For the possibility of undeletion, the photographer (or, if transferred, the current copyright holder) must send permission and a specific release under an acceptable free licence themselves using OTRS.
