Request by Utah Phlllips on scruff

Related to:

This is nearly identical to similar penis pics out there. It is simply educational. And, do a search on penis or ejaculation. Much more "porn-like" than mine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Utah Phlllips on scruff (talk • contribs) 17:12, 20 November 2020‎ (UTC)

Your penis or your upload? Are you sure you're at the right place? What do you want to be undeleted? --E4024 (talk) 17:11, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

@Dharmadhyaksha: as the deleting admin, and in the light that you have made 3 deletions this month which seem to be all from the same uploader, could you explain why you did not follow the normal deletion process and create a DR for the community and the uploader to benefit from? If there was a copyright issue, or some other issue beyond scope with the user's uploads, it would be useful for that to be clearer than the current deletion log comment or this section at UNDEL when only sysops can see the evidence. Thanks -- (talk) 17:46, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

I would like to kindly inform that the file Beata_Migas.jpeg is my own property and I agree for its usage for the sake of the Wikipedia article https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beata_Migas Because of a system misunderstanding about the picture, the discussion about this website appeared. Therefore, I would like to ask you to not delete such a picture, because I confirm that I am its author. The discussion should be ended, a picture added and that's it. --Qsdewr (talk) 10:22, 27 November 2020 (UTC) Beata Migas, 27.11.2020 r.

  •  Oppose Works previously published elsewhere require that the copyright holder sent permission and a specific release under an accepted free license using ORTS. Please note: 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). Once OTRS has determined that they have received sufficient permission, an OTRS agent will request or perform undeletion. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 01:05, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

I am submitting a request to have this photo undeleted from the Wikipedia page: Cazzey Louis Cereghino. It is my own work, and I own the copyright. I went to Wikipedia Commons and filled out proper places to accept that this pic may be used perpuity, and with the permission of the actor(s) in the pic. Yes, the pic also shows up on other websites, including IMDB as the Bot listed, but that is because I, as the actor's personal assistant and publicist, placed it there. I have filled out the Wikipedia Commons Copyright Page, so please un-delete this pic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SpockNimoy (talk • contribs) 22:48, 27 November 2020‎ (UTC)


Hi. This undeletion request has been made for the file Cazzey vs Betty White.jpg. As per your requirements, I have went to the Commons page where I have attested that this photo is my own work and owned by me and filled out the required places to verify this. As specified by the remover, it appears on other websites including IMDB, but that is because I placed it there as well, having been a personal assistant and publicist for the actor for many years, and the picture was taken on set at the request of the actor(s) in the pic. Please undelete this photo and place it back on the Wikipedia page as I have released it to be used freely and in perpetuity.

While it does state that the photograph was taken by Press Eye, a PR photography group, it was released by the Northern Ireland Office down to the detail of the camera model, under the commercial license CC 2.0, aka an allowance for commercial use under attribution, which WP requests during upload. I might be a bit new here, but I fail to see why it was deleted? Sorry, thanks.--Bettydaisies (talk) 23:31, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - This doesn't parse. If requestor acknowledges Press Eye to be the author ("it does state that the photograph was taken by Press Eye"), why would the mere release by a different party ("it was released by the Northern Ireland Office") demonstrate that party has authority to license on behalf of the author? Per COM:EVID, it is incumbent on those desiring retention to demonstrate "any required consent has been obtained." Where is this evidence? How is it that the Northern Ireland Office came to have authority to license Press Eye works? Эlcobbola talk 01:47, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - This request does not provide a reason to restore. It merely states the image would be useful for a biography (which is irrelevant as this is a copyright concern, not one of scope) and that "no one is going to claim copyright" ("nadie va a reclamar los derechos de autor "), which is COM:PRP#3. The "correct source" indeed says "Copyright © 2020 District Municipality of Ica - Bscreativa," which is both not a free license and a confirmation that the uploader's purport to be the author was a falsehood.

Hi there This is a family photo that has no copyrights the person in question Joao Carlos Nunes de Abreu has granted me the rights to publish it here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nunesdea (talk • contribs) 19:41, 29 November 2020‎ (UTC)

@Nunesdea: Did you also receive permission from the photographer? Who should be credited when the photo is used? Thuresson (talk) 21:53, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - COM:EVID requires you to demonstrate that the image is in the public domain; merely saying here the image "has no copyrights" is entirely inadequate. (One also notes you uploaded the image claiming yourself to be the author and the license to be cc-by-sa-4.0--claims you appear now to acknowledge were untruthful.) Copyright initially vests in the author (photographer), not the subject (Joao Carlos Nunes de Abreu), thus the latter would have no germane rights to grant you unless the copyright was formally transferred through a written conveyance. Indeed, merely owning physical property ("This is a family photo") is distinct from owning the related intellectual property (copyright). The photograph has been embossed in the lower right with what is likely the name of the author. When did they die? Эlcobbola talk 17:51, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

This logo was only deemed to be "likely above ToO". That means that the copyright associated with this image has not been questioned/claimed against. Therefore, I believe that this logo should be undeleted, as it does not infringe on any copyright. If it does, I would like to see some evidence regarding that infringement.

The file was speedy deleted on the day of upload. The deleting administrator @Billinghurst: has refused to undelete the file on request. Refer to User_talk:Billinghurst#PDF vs DjVu. The case made there for undeletion was:

  • Consensus: Should PDF be preferred over DjVu alternates? is a small consensus supporting that PDFs should be a preferred format and where PDFs and DjVu exist, the PDF should not be deleted, nor is there any consensus to delete the DjVu version.
  • The upload is part of the COM:IA books project with over 850,000 uploads so far, and so the principle of harmonization applies.
  • The speedy deletion is out of process. In this scenario a Deletion Request may be appropriate, but none of the criteria defined by COM:CSD applies to this administrator action.
  • The deleting admin has been unable to provide any consensus agreed policy or guideline to support their assertion that We typically delete PDF files that are solely uploaded as image holders.

In addition it should be noted that the two scans are different.

  1. The DjVu version uploaded in 2015 has every page marked "Univ Calif - Digitized by Microsoft (R)" on the footer of every page. The PDF does not and therefore is potentially of greater value for reusers who wish to print single pages, or read the book.
  2. The compression artefacts of the two documents are significantly different. Neither is equivalent to the original JP2000 scans they are created from.
  3. DjVu is a format now abandoned by the Internet Archive. Though the DjVu claims to have been downloaded from IA, the source page does not contain a link to that format, nor does it mention it as an option. To find it, one would have to search through a list of additional formats. (Further analysis shows the DjVu was created by IA on 15-Feb-2008 and the PDF on 08-Jan-2011.)

As explained on the deletion admin's talk page, the undeletion is important as a test case. It is a case study for setting a precedence for how Wikimedia Commons document uploads from the Internet Archive should be handled and maintained in future years. Keeping both versions harms nobody, neither does deleting it save anyone time or even disk space. As raised in the Consensus discussion linked above, the majority of users and reusers prefer PDF because it is easy to read and use on multiple platforms while the DjVu format is no longer supported on many platforms or browsers. Thanks -- (talk) 18:00, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Refused? More declined based on the evidence presented to me that I should undelete and then immediately take it to a DR.

I invited you to give me a better premise, one based on scope and usage. You said you have no intention of using the work. The work itself would not be used for images, and could primarily be used for extraction to a reproduced work at a Wikisource, though it duplicates an existing copy of the same edition.

Some responses:

  1. A gentle conversation in VP is not the basis for claiming a consensus for a policy. That is the most trivial conversation with little input, and where it has not been put to groups that use these types of files. I see no notice to the WSes, nothing! Please don't misrepresent what is a consensus of this community.
  2. The djvu file is uploaded, and is linked back to IA, nothing is broken. Which principle of harmonisation? Are you telling me that you are going to move all the WS works from DjVU to PDF. Which harmonisation?!?

    The harmonisation I see at Wikidata relates to linking to the IA item, not any form of subsidiary scan. That would seem to me to be the best form of harmonisation.

  3. This is the same edition of a multipage work, and a work that is in a reproduction framework. The WS communities have had multiple problematic cases of competing transcriptions due to pdf vs djvu, and they lead to complicated and time-consuming cleanups. [Note: djvu files allow for better transcriptions in WS which is why they are preferred.]
  4. Interesting, but so what? It is still the same edition of the work derived from the same scans.
  5. Are you disputing the source and nature of the file? Same base url, same edition, same primary scans. Will be linked to primary url from whichever WD item.

This was completed due to a request for duplicate, and it is a duplicate. With regard to filetype, there are admin bots that remove different filetypes of the same image, so the filetype aspect has to be taken with flexibility based on usage. We don't and should not be using these produced files for the images that we need, we should be going back to the JP2000 files where we want these images. We also delete as duplicate the same edition of a work where it has different page totals, applying the premise of one version of the published edition.

Noting, that typically where a PDF file exists for an edition of a work from Commons, we have stopped the upload of DjVu files based on the principle of one copy of the edition of work at Commons; and even though these PDF files produce more problematic transcription efforts. If we are going to reverse the base principle of one copy of an edition, then I can see that the WS communities will be looking to reverse that decision-making.  — billinghurst sDrewth 01:28, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Please read what has been written. The undeletion request here is founded on policy and consensus.
Nobody is proposing that WikiSource change anything.
Nobody has ever suggested that if people from WikiSource want to upload DjVu that they can't.
Nobody has ever suggested that files in use on WikiSource should be deleted or are threatened just because the PDF version of a document is available for reuse.
"it is a duplicate" is untrue, which anyone can check by examining the two files. One has watermarks and the other does not, one can be easily reused across all platforms and the other is in an abandoned format with limited usefulness. These are important key differences.
With regard to filetype, there are admin bots that remove different filetypes of the same image, is irrelevant, this does not happen for document formats.
This deletion was out of process, it is not covered by COM:CSD. If you wish to delete this file create a deletion request.
Your action was as a sysop on Commons. Your actions on Commons are governed by consensus and policy on Commons, not WikiSource. If you are passionate about this issue on WikiSource, then create a consensus about it. So far you have been unable to produce any policy or guideline or consensus on Commons to support your action.
Please stick to policy and consensus.
As a side note, you have used <blockquote> to emphasise your response in this thread. This appears unnecessary and confusing, your words are not a quote from somewhere else, they are not more authoritative just because they are formatted this way.
Thanks -- (talk) 09:28, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Both: PDF and DjVu formats have advantages and disadvantages. However, unless some advantages of one of the formats are really needed in Wikimedia, I am against hosting such duplicates. The presented arguments do not convince me that we really need the PDF version in Wikimedia. The PDF can be (and is) hosted elsewhere and Wikimedia Commons needn't to be a IA backup. So  Weak oppose undeletion, but as I generally oppose massive uploads without care whether the content is needed or not and whether it is properly categorized to make it useful for reusers, I am leaving a decision to an uninvolved admin. Ankry (talk) 12:12, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
Perhaps I'm not summarizing clearly.
There are two very obvious reasons to keep the PDF as well as the DjVu. (1) Many users cannot read a DjVu file on their device that they access this project with, but everyone can read the PDF on any device. (2) The DjVu has unpleasant very visible watermarks on every page, while the PDF does not.
To make (2) clearer to everyone, I have added {{Watermark}} to that version. -- (talk) 12:40, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
If they need to see the file content: both formats are presented by MediaWiki. If they want to download it: why should they do it from Commons and not from IA? Ankry (talk) 13:17, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
No, the version without watermarks has been deleted. We don't need to run a proposal for whether the community prefers to have access to files without watermarks, as {{Watermark}} is already agreed.
As for the rationale that we don't need files on Commons that are on IA, that's not a policy or a consensus, it's something you've just made up. If IA folds, and with the current legal cases against IA by publishers that's a very real possibility right now, then Wikimedia Commons would be a very poor strategic position if we pin our long term future on it remaining online forever. -- (talk) 16:21, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi, bumping into this conversation, I was wondering if this file might be of any help. Lotje (talk) 16:33, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
Yes, that's the one in the no longer supported DjVu format with watermarks on every page. The file that has been deleted is in PDF, which can be read on any modern platform, and has no watermarks. -- (talk) 16:41, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi, this is a very old photo that the public administration of the Amadora municipality published frequently on social media. Its creator is unknown and even the public authorities don't know who has made the photo. Probably the Portuguese military, because in the photo you can see a military base from the beginning of the XX century. So I don't know what license to use, but is something like "unknown author, but used by everyone, even the public administration, with no property rights whatsoever". Thanks for your help, it is a very significant photo. --Dvfernandes (talk) 14:26, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - An author is not unknown merely because you personally do not know them, nor because sources of which you personally are aware fail to cite an author (which is itself entirely different than not knowing the author). COM:EVID sets forth "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: the file is in the public domain" (underline added) and, per COM:L, description pages should "contain information sufficient for others to verify the license status." You've provided no such information either in the upload or here. Notwithstanding that this request is effectively COM:PRP#4, we use 120 years as the threshold to assume author death; accordingly, a date of 1940 (itself entirely unsupported) is far too recent (1940 + 120 + 1 = 01.01.2061) Эlcobbola talk 19:47, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - You didn't claim this image to be PD, you claimed it to be cc-by-sa-4.0 with a source that says "The item is subject to copyright and/or contractual terms of use. You may use this item for non-commercial teaching and research purposes only." (underline added) I don't know how you reconcile this with the purported "explicit mail." Nothing is public domain without a reason. If copyright was transferred to the archive and they are releasing copyrights, why does their site say the opposite? Otherwise, Israel is life + 70 years.

Hello,

I would like to know why was this image deleted. I created this page and added the images as the daugther-in-law of mister Aurel Istrati. Me and my family are the owners of the images as the direct heirs of mister Aurel Istrati. I also saw that all the images I uploaded are going to be deleted if I don't bring any proof of ownership.

I took the photos personally with my phone right before I uploaded them to Wikipedia. What should I bring as a proof!?

Thank you, Theodora Istrati --Theodora.istrati (talk) 19:14, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose Since Commons users are essentially anonymous, this can not be resolved by making a public declaration. Nor can it be resolved through OTRS since Wikimedia volunteers can not investigate who are the legal heirs of a Romanian artist, Aurel Istrati, and if these heirs are willing to freely license some or all of the artist's works. If the artist had a well-known web site then such a declaration could be published there, however there does not seem to be any such official web site. Thuresson (talk) 10:46, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - The decision at Commons:Deletion requests/File:A 3D spatial channel model for cellular radio. (IA 3dspatialchannel00sasi).pdf was correct. The closure of the The other DR is not, and the closing admin ought to have known better. The comment regarding "imprimatur" in support of retention is utter nonsense. Mere appearance in a Naval Postgraduate School ihesis is not reasonably equated to "a work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person’s official duties." (underline added) Indeed, 17 U.S.C. § 105 goes out of its way to say explicitly "the United States Government is not precluded from receiving and holding copyrights transferred to it by assignment, bequest, or otherwise." (There is, of course, also no evidence that the copyright was even transferred.) As an additional thought experiment not germane to this file's use case, but rather to the "imprimatur" absurdity: no competent person would believe screenshots of Movieland software are PD-USGov by virtue of their use in an FTC complaint. The germane consideration is not "imprimatur," but the employment status and duties of the author. The document does say "Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited," but this appears to reference accessibility (i.e., not confidential) rather than copyright (and, even if the latter, is not sufficiently explicit per COM:L.

  • As the uploader it's not that clear to me. I believe none of us know what the expectations on those doing research 100% within the NPS, a federal institution, are for their resultant reports and publications. Other cases where there is a partnership with an external university have more understandable deletions, as these lack an obvious public domain release statement. One can argue a reasonable case for a 100% federal funded researcher working within a federal institute that their works are automatically public domain. One can also argue against this, if you believe that elements of this research are not under a federal contract and federal funding. Why the NPS library has published these as public domain should mean something, and it's unfortunate we have found exceptions where there are conflicting copyright statements which throws shade on all the uploads. -- (talk) 15:46, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

As I already explained, it is not 'work previously published elsewhere'. The newspaper itself (underground-published, under the communist regime and Soviet occupation of the country) was not copyrighted, it was a public domain work. So there was no copyright holder. As an underground publication (released outside of state control of the then undemocratic country) it was NOT covered or protected by any of intellectual property laws and at present in Poland it is in PUBLIC DOMAIN. So, once again, the original publication IS NOT COPYRIGHTED. And its digital reproduction published here by me WAS MADE BY ME specifically for the purpose of publishing it in a Wikipedia article, so it was NOT "previously published elsewhere" and I am the sole creator and copyright holder of it, and I already did state my ownership when uploading the file and I already gave my permissions by selecting the licence.

If you don't trust my ownership statements that I've been providing as a registered (for years, with no record of ever breaking any copyrights) and logged in user, i.e. with my email address confirmed and known and my IP address recorded, I can't see how merely repeating the same statements yet another time by email could change anything. And why should I accept being treated like a potential thief and liar if you haven't given any valid reasons of why you've suddenly chosen me to "confirm my assetions or identity on this platform" after years of membership and no record of any faults, and you enforced it by MASS-DELETING all my works. Is this additional procedure enforced on selected people based on their nationality or country that you consider somehow less trustworthy? If so then it is an apparent case of prejudice and segregation.

I repeat: I already did state my ownership and the premissions by selecting the licence - as required when uploading the files. So please either point out any ACTUAL valid faults of mine that justify questioning my credibility and mass-deleting my works like that, or undelete the files that you've clearly had no reasons to delete. The explanation given me by Christian Ferrer (who deleted my files) that "a huge number of other people's claims are false so maybe mine's too" just isn't serious and is an apparent case of applying collective resposibility.

@Konfederat73: Hello,
  • The following comments apply also to your other uploads (mutatis mutandis).
  • As a first question, was there a written notice included in each of those publications stating clearly that the contents of the publication could be freely used, reused, copied, etc.? That would make things much easier. If so, what was the exact wording of each notice? And where can it be read?
  • If there was no such notice, things will be more complicated:
    • You say that you are "the author of this work". The two newspaper pages reproduced in "File:Kontra 9.jpg" are mostly text articles, one photo and two illustrations. Most other files (with the exception of two Barykada images) include mostly a lot of text and some images. Are you personally the only creator and writer of all the elements, of all the text articles and of all the photos and drawings?
    • It will be necessary to provide some sort of evidence for your statements of authorship. If such evidence is not already publicly available, it can be provided through email to the team of Commons:OTRS. It may also help if a person who is now publicly known to have been associated with the publications can certify your statements. That person can be yourself, if you are publicly known as such. You will probably need to confidentially disclose your identity to the OTRS team.

Hello @Asclepias: ,

It basically takes understanding that those newspapers (as the corresponding Wikipedia articles explain) were UNDERGROUND publications released in a then non-democratic country, under an occupation and lethal communist regime. They were released outside of state control, i.e. outside of any of that state's laws, including intellectual property laws. So they were not, and couldn't have been, copyrighted in any way. The goal of the creators of those newspapers (anti-regime movement fighting for democracy and freedom) was to reach as large number of people as possible, so those publications were provided absolutely free and totally unrestricted, not subject to any copyrights or limitations, actually INTENDED to be widely copied, reproduced and redistributed by anyone. No one explicitly stated it in them because it was obvious, and at the same time no one claimed any copyrights, either. It takes understanding how such undergound movements functioned in an occupied country under lethal regime (not much different than during the World War II), and - as I said - those newspapers were released outside of the state's control so they were not subject to any of its laws (including copyright/intellectual property laws) anyway. They were actually considered illegal by the state. Makers of those newspapers were mostly ANONYMOUS or else they would have been severely punished by the regime, so how could they claim any copyrights even if they ever wanted? Once again, it takes understanding those circumstances.

And in the present democratic Poland those underground newspapers are now legally and officially PUBLIC DOMAIN, freely shared historical items. So the whole historical background described above is actually unimportant, because legally and officially they are PUBLIC DOMAIN now.

When it comes to my digital reproduction of those newspapers, I had the right to make digital reproduction of them because they are PUBLIC DOMAIN. I made those digital reproductions solely for the purpose of using them in corresponding Wikipedia articles (also written by me, approved and available), so they are not copied from anywhere - I am the owner, the author and the copyright owner of those digital reproductions. I did state my ownership and I did select the appropriate licence when uploading those files, so I have no idea what else could I do.

It is completely unimportant if I was or wasn't the author of the texts or images in those newspapers themselves, because - as I wrote - they never were copyrighted in any way, and in the present Poland they are now entirely PUBLIC DOMAIN Konfederat73 (talk) 19:42, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello @Nat: ,

No, sadly you still don't understand or you don't read carefully enough. I clearly wrote multiple times, that the publication (the original newspaper) was PUBLISHED as PUBLIC DOMAIN, i.e. without ANYONE reserving ANY copyrights. That was the intention. It was INTENTIONALLY released as free to copy, reproduce, quote from, re-use in other publications, whatever. We had no guns, we were fighting with the regime using WORDS - INFORMATION, so the publications we were releasing were INTENTIONALLY meant to be as widespread as possible, i.e. so that anyone can further reproduce that information and pass it to others. Let me stress it once again: those publications had absolutely no copyrights of any kind reserved by anyone. And I already said it several times. I can't see how repeating it YET ANOTHER TIME by email could change anything about it. Besides, in such an email no one can claim being the copyright holder (and as such give you any permissions), because there NEVER WAS any copyright holder of a publication that was released WITHOUT COPYRIGHTS. What can I do to make you comprehend this simple fact? Konfederat73 (talk) 07:48, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

@Thuresson: I don't think the redundancy or excessive images should be the reason for not giving this file (if it is an "own work" one) a chance for restoration. Since we have tolerated hundreds of thousands of uploads by Judgefloro and Ramon FVelasquez, two of the most prolific Pinoy contributors here, we should not base the decision based on superfluous number of files. The greater the number of files, the better. I admit, I once made DR's to certain images by Judgefloro by reason of COM:SPAM and COM:EDUSE, but I have already withdrawn those deletion nominations, as I think this is counter-productive in building Commons as a free repository for millions of safe media files.

These drone photos of me were deleted with reference to the German freedom of panorama, as drone photos were not covered by them. But: The regional court Frankfurt am Main has decided in a procedure that it is permissible to photograph copyrighted works that are in public space from the airspace and to publish and distribute the photographs (also commercially). Such an act is covered by the panoramic freedom under copyright law (§ 59 UrhG). Source I would therefore look forward to a restoration. --Arne (talk) 14:16, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

  •  Support The court has noted that the location of the object in question needs to be "in public space" and that it is irrelevant from which angle above the ground it be photographed.

  •  Oppose - DRs are closed on the merits of arguments. When "leaning away from deletion" includes no discussion since July 2020, personal opinions untethered to relevant law or Commons policy, and arguments like "File:Koi-Koi_Setup.jpg is transformative and useful under Fair Use" and "the images card images are generic and the image itself is transformative under fair use," it's devoid of merit. Looks like a reasonable closure to me. Эlcobbola talk 20:05, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
Sorry by "leaning away" I meant "the images card images are generic and the image itself is transformative under fair use". Those were basically the arguments being made. There's nothing protects about the images at all.

  • Question @Guise: Est-ce que vous dites que l'image «File:Francisque Gay.png» est une partie de la photo «File:Gouvernement Félix Gouin.jpg» ? Parce que si on compare l'image «File:Francisque Gay.png» qui, bien que supprimée, est encore visible en cache de Google et la portion montrant Francisque Gay sur l'image «File:Gouvernement Félix Gouin.jpg», ce n'est visiblement pas la même photo, bien que les deux photos soient évidemment du même événement et soient prises presque du même angle. Voir notamment les différences dans l'angle de la tête de Francisque Gay et sa position par rapport à la personne derrière lui. L'appareil photo pour «File:Francisque Gay.png» est légèrement plus haut que l'appareil photo pour «File:Gouvernement Félix Gouin.jpg». Lors de cet événement, il y avait vraisemblablement plusieurs photographes et chacun d'eux a vraisemblablement pris plusieurs photos. Il faudrait identifier d'où provient la photo «File:Francisque Gay.png». -- Asclepias (talk) 11:29, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

== Logo de "Freedom Cartoonists Foundation – Dessins pour la liberté" / File : FcF - logo.jpg ==

Bonjour,

L'image du logo de "Freedom Cartoonists Foundation – Dessins pour la liberté", qui m'a été fournie par M. Patrick Chappatte (président de ladite fondation) via un courriel privé, et que j'avais intégré à ma contribution (brouillon) a été supprimée à tort.

J'ai l'autorisation de implicite de "Freedom Cartoonists Foundation – Dessins pour la liberté" d'utiliser leur logo afin d'illustrer mon article. S'agissant justement d'une fondation qui défend la liberté d’expression, je trouve ironique d'être censuré :-)

C'est pourquoi je vous prie d'annuler la décision de supprimer le visuel, prise à tort.

Merci d'avance pour votre intervention,

(automatic translation)

The image of the logo of "Freedom Cartoonists Foundation – Dessins pour la liberté", which was provided to me by Mr. Patrick Chappatte (Chairman of the said foundation) via a private email, and which I had included in my contribution (draft ) has been wrongly deleted. I have the implied permission of "Freedom Cartoonists Foundation – Dessins pour la liberté" to use their logo to illustrate my article. As this is a foundation that defends free speech, I find it ironic to be censored :-) This is why I ask you to reverse the decision to remove the visual, taken in error. Thank you in advance for your intervention,

  •  Oppose The text does not state that images of government officials are not protected by copyright. Article 9 b. states "No son objeto de protección por el derecho de autor: [...] Los textos oficiales de carácter legislativo, administrativo o judicial, ni las traducciones oficiales de los mismos, sin perjuicio de la obligación de respetar los textos y citar la fuente." ("The following are not protected by copyright: [...] The official texts of a legislative, administrative or judicial nature, nor theofficial translations thereof, without prejudice to the obligation to respect the texts andcite the source."). --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 08:25, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - The relevant section (Title I, Article 9(b)) says "Official texts of a legislative, administrative or judicial nature, [and] their official translations, without prejudice to the obligation to respect the texts and cite the source." ("Los textos oficiales de carácter legislativo, administrativo o judicial, ni las traducciones oficiales de los mismos, sin perjuicio de la obligación de respetar los textos y citar la fuente.") The word official ("oficiales") is an adjective modifying certain documents; it is not a noun, let alone one meaning that all pictures of government officials are deprived of copyright protection (such a statutory provision would be novel, and absurd). The cited phrasing is also consistent with {{PD-PE-exempt}}. The Flickr source has a CC-by-NC-SA 2.0 license which is, of course, unacceptable. Эlcobbola talk 15:28, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

@Huisdoorn: Seems like you are logged out. Please log-in. Anyway, no one is questioning whether you took the picture or not. The issue here is, your photo contains a sculpture of a still-living artist. The sculpture has a separate, still existing copyright, and your photo is a derivative work of the sculpture. That's why the file was deleted. If you want this file to be restored, you have two options: first is to contact Thom Puckey and ask them to send a written permission via email to the OTRS team. Second is to wait for the copyright to expire, which would take a very long time, like a century. Obviously you would want to do the former. pandakekok9 08:36, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - The Frontier Texas website, which you did not reference, says "Frontier Texas welcomes all journalists and advertising media to use our logo and images for editorial and promotional purposes." How do you turn that into the purported {{Cc-by-sa-4.0}} license? We require an explicit license, that, among others, addresses derivatives and is perpetual. The Frontier Texas phrase is none of those things. Further, the "by" in cc-by-sa-4.0 means attribution is required, yet you purported yourself to be the author; not only was this an additional falsehood, but a breach of your own fictitious license.

The stated reason for deletion is Copyvio, while this media was created by me as a symbolic insignia(Mentioned in the title of wikimedia) on canvas in 2018. I am being the sole proprietor of this digital art, I released it on wikimedia and it was used by some other persons on YouTube or Facebook which I don't have a knowledge of. It's freely available in public domain and is not entitled to copyright issue.

Just a reverse image search landed me on these 1. Facebook page[3] 2. Quora[4] 3. YouTube thumbnail [5] 4. Various posts on Facebook have used this image(Can't list them all here).

This was my digital art later used by several pages and users on internet. It is certain that it's freely available which is evident from it being used on various social media platforms without copyright/permission. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anony20 (talk • contribs) 06:26, 1 December 2020‎ (UTC)

The stated reason for the 2020 deletion is not copyvio, it is "author's request", as seen in the log. Not sure what author's request it refers to. The current deletion request for alleged copyvio was still open, not closed, when you posted your comment above. It was closed just a few minutes ago by a non-admin who is claiming to be a retired user. Too bad, because I wanted to post a question there to ask you if you would comment the coincidence that the image was posted on facebook the same day you first posted it to Commons. Copyvio discussion aside, if the symbol is fake as alleged in the October 2018 deletion request, I'm not entirely convinced by the keep decision of 2018. IMHO, posting fake symbols on Commons is not a good idea. -- Asclepias (talk) 15:32, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Pinging User:Taivo: Maybe you can help clarify this matter, please. Is "author's request" correct or was it something else? -- Asclepias (talk) 19:18, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Seems that I have made a mistake. Heba Aisha (talk · contribs) nominated the file for deletion as copyvio from Facebook. After that Anony, the uploader, made 3 more edits without removing speedy deletion request. I mistakenly thought, that the speedy deletion request was made by Anony. The file was really uploaded into Commons on the same day than into Facebook. If we have no copyright problems, then I agree with undeletion. Taivo (talk) 19:28, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
The possible copyvio concern raised by the deletion nominator is at least a reasonable question. There is also the question of scope. The behaviour of the uploader is strange. He refuses to disclose the facebook origin of some of his uploads. After requests, he still refuses to tell his real source for File:Rajput rebels from Bihar, 1857.jpg, which has a facebook identifier, and he still writes a false source (the image is not from the 1857 ILN, something that can be checked easily in the ILN collection online). File:बनकटा अमेठिया द्वार.jpg also has a facebook identifier and was on facebook before the uploader copied it to Commons with a claim of own work and without disclosing the facebook source. Taking into account the general context, it is therefore possible that File:Amethia Rajput.png was also copied from facebook like the other uploads. If the File:Amethia Rajput.png is undeleted, then the early closure of the deletion request by the not-so-retired user should be undone and the discussion should proceed normally. If the file is not undeleted, then a deletion reason should be specified in the closing section of the deletion request. -- Asclepias (talk) 11:54, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Taivo plz see the uploader is a sockpuppet.Asclepias, yes I strongly believe that other images are also not his own work as Anony20 is abusing multiple account and I have even shared the facebook link from where he Copyvio the images. Heba Aisha (talk) 21:34, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

    • Sorry, I misspoke. You are right, the statement is not in the email. The email said that the representative used the Wikimedia Commons account, instead. I remember seeing a standard license (CC BY-SA 4.0, if I remember it correctly) on the file page created by the account. I don't think they are required to license via an email - choosing it from our standard upload form is another valid way to do so. (I'm saying here that they performed the act of licensing it. Whether they were truly someone with the authority do so, discussed below, is a separate question.) whym (talk) 00:13, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

        • @Nat: I'm still not fully convinced of the applicability of that rule here - another email just for stating the same license sounds redundant, given that the same person added the license template (I'm assuminig here there was the template, as I mentioned above, although I cannot see the deleted file now) and is confirmed to be the one they are claiming to be. Regardless, I asked for a statement and they responded with it today (10:20 UTC). Please review again. Thanks. whym (talk) 11:48, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - Per Nat, and why are we accepting permission for a poster from a producer of the film? Permission should come from the appropriate executive/director/however styled for this entity (Tokyo Cowboys).

    • I'm not sure why you mentioned 'producer' here. I don't think they said that in the email.

I avoid mentioning further specifics for now for confidentiality, I added a note to the OTRS ticket. [6] whym (talk)

Ken Klippenstein image

File:Ken Klippenstein profile.jpg has been released of copyrights from my understanding. What would it take to demonstrate this? Thank you. QRep2020 (talk) 16:18, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - "What would it take to demonstrate this?" It would take the same source that gave you that understanding ("from my understanding") in the first place. Contrary to the purport here that it "has been released of copyrights," you'd previously claimed it to be {{Cc-by-sa-4.0}}. These are mutually exclusive claims; which is it? Where is your evidence for either? Mere appearance on Twitter is in no way a release of copyright (or a free license), especially when the Twitter source is that of the mere subject and not of the author (photographer). Previously published images require COM:OTRS evidence of permission. Эlcobbola talk 19:08, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - You claimed this to be {{PD-USGov}}, which is patent nonsense. C-Span is not a federal entity, but a private, non-profit organization. Indeed, their site (a .org, not a .gov (!!!)) says "© 2020 National Cable Satellite Corporation" (compare with the absence thereof at genuine federal sites, like whitehouse.gov, senate.gov, nasa.gov, etc.) and their Copyright & Licensing terms, which you reference, say, for example, "C-SPAN does NOT permit unlicensed commercial use of any of its video programming," which is unacceptable. C-Span coverage of debates in U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate are public domain, but this is a mere subcommittee hearing. Эlcobbola talk 00:00, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello, this photo and others were deleted because I was not the author, that is true, but these photos are in my family’s possession since decades and were taken before 1925 (some even in the 19th century). That is too bad to delete them for bad reasons, but if there’s nothing to do with Wikimedia I will give them to an american institute.

Yes but presumably the file was there before its deletion in 2008 for "missing essential author, permission or licensial information". So it can be restored.

  •  Oppose - The rationale here, like the comments at the DR, is both otherstuff and non-responsive to the issue. Indeed, the comments at best relate to substantiating the existence of the GODL template, but that is not the issue; it is whether that template correctly applies to these images. (By way of analogy, the comments are akin to quoting 17 U.S.C. § 105 when someone questions whether a work is truly of federal authorship--it's a failure to address the actual concern.) As I said at the DR, the source, that the uploader themselves gave us, says "the material listed may be reproduced without formal permission for the purposes of non-commercial research, private study and for criticism, review and news reporting provided that the material is appropriately attributed." (bold added) The only on-point response, that the page has simply not been updated is nonsense; they've had over 3.5 years (!!!) and there is plentiful contemporary content at the source (e.g., [9], [10], etc.) When a black and white statement at an official source contradicts the novel interpretation and speculation of a wikimedian, COM:PRP says we side with the former.

S.A.Raja.jpg

Hello,

I am the grandson of the person in the picture. The picture in question was taken by our university photographer in our university office. All rights of the picture belong to the S.A. Raja Family. However a lot of media outlets have begun using the picture without asking us for the rights. Now I'm trying to upload his most recognizable picture on to his wikipage and it is taken down by wikipedia. I am the original user/creator for his wiki page and this has been a problem for so long.

Could you please help me with this and undelete the picture, so my grandfathers wikipage can have his photo?

Thank you.

This DR decided in favour of deleting it, based on the notion that the depicted person is not identified and, once it was identified («Phillip D. Long is Senior Strategist for the Academic Computing Enterprise, and Director, Learning Out-reach, for MIT iCampus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.»MIT), based on the notion that the depicted person is not notable. Since Commons doesn’t have notability requirements, this photo should be undeleted. -- Tuválkin 01:15, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - While we indeed do not have a notability requirement, we do have a COM:SCOPE requirement. Consideration of educational utility, the threshold of scope, necessarily requires considerations similar to, or overlapping with, notability. This was an unused image of a person for whom the only description you found necessary to retain was "A guy with a lanyard that says MIT." If owning an accessory emblazed with a notable institution makes one educationally useful, everyone would be in scope--an absurdity. No demonstration of being in scope, the reason for deletion, is on offer here. Эlcobbola talk 01:41, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
  • (Edit conflict) Everybody can read the DR in question and see how much «A guy with a lanyard that says MIT» was NOT the gist of the argument presented: The o.p. mantained that the identity of the depicted subject could never be ascertained and yet in a matter of hours we had this guy’s name. Meanwhile goalposts were moved, and, it was suddenly a fact that MIT faculty is not in scope. Should this guy’s photo be needed for an article in Wikipedia or Wikinews, his name is Phillip D. Long, as can be also read in the DR. -- Tuválkin 13:05, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

  • @JGHowes: The original reason of deletion is "Video is not created by China News Service. Towards the end of the video: "All rights reserved. Do not reproduce without permission." (版权所有,未经许可请勿转载)". However, this video first offered by CASIC (China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation), obviously has already permitted to CNS (China News Service), one of the authoritative media in China, and at the end of this video, CNS listed some information:
Reporter: Guo Chaokai
Souce of the video:
CASIC
Editor:
Yue Xiaomin
All rights reserved. Do not reproduce without permission.
We can see, CASIC just only offered the video to CNS, reporters and editors are staffs of CNS and audios were also added by CNS, CNS was permitted to use the video and has the copyright at all. And the tag of "All rights reserved" is added by CNS, for they realsed videos on a lot of platforms and usually states keeping copyrights on these platforms, rather than added by CASIC. However, they also upload videos onto Youtube, and tags CC-BY with some of their own videos, as the permisson couldnt withdraw, so we can use it free even they state on other platforms that they own rights. In addition, does CNS check the copyright before the upload to Youtube? Yes they do, and I offered examples in RFD, if needed, I will offer more, obviously their editors understand the copyright very well. And as one of the largest media in China, it is really creditable. So we also don't have to worry that CNS will infringe copyright. I hope I can explain it more clearly and dispel your doubts this time, thanks a lot. -- Vikarna 02:54, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose. CASIC created the video contents about the mission and is the copyright holder. CNS is only a licensee of the content for their own use only and is NOT the copyright holder, thus is not able to relicense the content under CC. A free license must come from the copyright holder. Also CNS clearly indicated that the source of the video is CASIC and "All rights reserved. Do not reproduce without permission.". --Wcam (talk) 17:32, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

    • @Wcam and Nat: It's misleading to hint that "All rights reserved. Do not reproduce without permission" is indicating CASIC , the tag was obviouly added by CNS in this file, together with other listed imformation (Reporter, Editor and Video Source), so it is obviously CNS stating its ownership. If it is a video from a normal civilian and permitted to CNS, should we also discuss it for it was not first created by CNS, should we find out this civilian and let his show that he tranfered all rights to CNS? And the man is CASIC and we begin to doubt that CNS is not the holder of copyright? CNS is obviuly creditable on copyright than us, I don't think it's neccesary to doubt their editors. -- Vikarna 07:50, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

I own the image on facebook that has been cited for violation. You ask us to own the rigts for the imiage used. not for the image to be exclusive

The image cited in the link below is privately owned by me and hence is not in infringement of any copyright laws https://www.facebook.com/SinghNirajDhanbad/photos/pcb.2066635773580403/2066635506913763/

Just comment "I confirm that I am Pranav.pgp2013 on Wikimedia Commons and that I release the photo under the stated free license on the description of File:Niraj Singh Wiki.jpg, which is a copy of this photo". Shouldn't be hard. Thanks, pandakekok9 09:41, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
  • @Pranav.pgp2013 and Pandakekok9:  Oppose Previously published works require permission via OTRS. The image was posted to the subject's facebook page, and the subject is unlikely the copyright holder of the work in question. 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).

D'autres oeuvres de mon père ont été uploadées dernièrement par l'intermèdiaire des "Users" B.Margotton et Sofiacamu66 avec mon autorisation. Il semble qu'ils ont eu des problèmes de copyright avec suppression des Files; Pouvez-vous rétablir leur compte? Certaines œuvres gemmaux , vitraux sont juridiquement dans des lieux publics puisqu'elles sont dans des églises , des basiliques ou le musée de mon père. Pourquoi une œuvre d'un gemmail de mon père que nous avons trouvée sur Flickr qui se trouve partout a été supprimée ainsi que celle-ci sur l'Eglise de Valaurie ? C'est un comble! C'est plutôt à moi que l'usager de Flickr aurait dû demander. Lui a le droit de publier mais pas moi qui prend des photos des œuvres de mon père qui sont maintenant ma propriété. Je vous prie donc de bien vouloir rectifier le plus rapidement possible; merci  ; vous trouverez des photos de mon livret de famille attestant que je suis bien son fils. J'ai envoyé un mail à ce sujet à CONSENTEMENT COMMONS également pour d'autres œuvres . Je vous remercie de votre vigilance, mais en l’occurrence mes envois sont parfaitement légitimes y compris ceux des usagers cités plus haut à qui j'ai donné ma permission. Je peux vous envoyer si nécessaire tout document manuscrit signé de ma main ou des preuves de ma filiation. En ce qui concerne le vitrail de Valaurie j'ai de mon père l'original qui a servi pour l'église et qui serait de bien meilleure qualité pour l'encyclopédie puisque je peux le photographier directement chez moi ( c'est d'ailleurs pour moi un effort car j'ai bien conscience que je ne pourrais en aucun cas réclamer des droits d'auteur et que je les laisse à disposition du public, ce qui est déjà le cas pour les basiliques ) Bien cordialement Bernard Margotton (Redacted)

  •  Support - hkrail.fandom.com is a non-WMF wiki and suffers the same infirmities as a source (i.e., can be edited by anyone), but the uploader was the first to reference that source, and the deletion nomination of "© Wong Chuk Hang" appears a conflation with the mere location. I don't find alternative previous publication, and the images are higher resolution, have intact EXIF (including with a camera--iPhone 6s--to which a typical user would be expected to have access), and of subject matter to which a typical user would have access.

Ich habe zu beiden Bildern im Artilel zu "Bionicman" und Michel Fornasier" klar kommunziert, dass ich im direkten Kontakt mit dem Inhaber der Bilder stehe, habe den Namen der Fotografin hinzufügt und eine komplette Seite erstellt zu Michel Fornasier, die scheinbar gelöscht wurde und ohne etwaige nachvollziehbare Information.

Die Vorgehensweise ist für jemanden der/die erst kurz hier in den Community ist, sehr befremdlich?

Besteht die Möglichkeit dass jemand hier Hilfestellung gibt und Artikel, sowie Angaben zu Bildern, an denen ich inzwischen doch inzwischen mehrerer Stunden gesessen habe, nicht ohne solche gelöscht, verschoben oder whatever werden?

Dear, I kindly request that the image in question be inserted again. The image is free, has no copyright and was sent to me by the director / scriptwriter of the film. The site www.adorocinema.com (whose image was inserted on the page http://www.adorocinema.com/filmes/filme-284902/) does not have copyright on the image.

We are currently editing a future Wikipedia page and have uploaded multiple images for which we own the IP rights. One of these images was deleted for copyright violation, without the editor even asking a question first and this is completely unacceptable. It has disrupted our edit and wasted valuable time.

If there is a specific way in which we should tag or announce the rightful sharing of the images with Wikimedia Commons, we would appreciate instructions on what we should change to avoid these issues in the future.

hi The photograph received the approval of the photographer himself. There is no reason to delete it. Everything is legal. ProfNews (talk) 17:53, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

The image is available at Flickr under CC-by-2.0: [13]. However, the metadata tells us that it is "Copyright 2015 Peter & Others, LLC ALL RIGHTS RESERVED". So the question remains how avi shmoul got the Creative Commons licence for his Flickr upload. It seems that we need a permission from Peter Weiner to undelete the file. De728631 (talk) 20:22, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - 1) The image was uploaded to the Flickr source the same day it was uploaded to Commons and 2) the Flickr account is that of "Avi Shmoul, yet the image is explicitly credited as "foto Peter Weiner" (at both Flickr and in the Commons file name). While the former alone is generally the strongest indicator of Flickr-washing, aggregation with the Flickr user/author mismatch and metadata suggests this is almost certainly license laundering.

Unfortunately we get a lot claims of authorship from impostors, and there is no way to verify that you are the real Faysal Shaqooli by checking your Wikimedia account. Also, copyright in photographs usually rests with the original photographer and not with the person depicted.

  •  Oppose - "Your song" ≠ "your photograph" and, indeed, the implication of that statement that you are the musician suggests you to be the mere subject, rather than the actual author (photographer).

 Oppose I don't read Russian, but the snapshot of the chat you uploaded here does not seem to mention the Creative Commons licence you applied to the upload of the game cover. Also that would not have been your {{own}} but the copyright is still held by Hobby Games, the original distributor Kosmos Verlag and/or the original game designer Klaus Teuber. Moreover, a permission to use the file at Wikipedia is not sufficient. All uploads at Commons need to be free for anyone to use for any purpose even outside Wikipedia. It can't see how Hobby Games would have agreed to such a permission, so we require a verification by email from the copyright holder. This would have to go through COM:OTRS. De728631 (talk) 19:45, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

  • @Lord daggert: No. Hobby Games is ultimately just a licensee, not the primary copyright holder. The copyright holder is Catan GmbH and Klaus Teuber. Permission would be needed from Hobby Games for the licensed derivative, and Catan GmbH and Klaus Teuber for the base original work. And based on Catan's IP policy, it would be very unlikely that permission under an accepted free licence would be granted by any of the rights holders.

Files uploaded by KanavaroT

These were deleted following Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by KanavaroT, proposed by EugeneZelenko with the rationale, "Unlikely to be own work: small/inconsistent resolutions." The uploader KanavaroT then requested undeletion at Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2012-09#File:Bird Thongchai 1.jpg, which was declined by Fastily, the original closing admin (at the time), who advised sending OTRS confirmation. However, since the original rationale did not mention any conflicting evidence of ownership, it's unclear to me what OTRS would have achieved.

Looking at KanavaroT's currently non-deleted uploads, all of them have intact EXIF info. While quite a few different cameras were used, they span quite a wide range of years that it's plausible one may have used that many cameras over that time period. Their file descriptions contain enough specific detail to suggest that they are indeed the author. (E.g., from File:Bird Thongchai concert.jpg, it seems unlikely that someone stealing a photo off the internet in 2012 would know the name of the exact event which took place in 2009. Maybe they were his personal photographer or something.) If the deleted files have similar characteristics, I don't think there's reason to presume otherwise. --Paul_012 (talk) 21:43, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

  • Thanks Thuresson for providing the EXIF. I'd say I support the restoration of the images. I'm not convinced of the deleting rationale. The resolutions are inconsistent indeed, but that may have a reason. Looking at the existing uploads of the user, they seem to use Photoshop to scale down their images. While that may be unreasonable these days, back in 2012 it is quite normal, as not everyone has as much bandwidth before. Or maybe they set their camera to shoot at low resolution, to save space on the SD card. Again, quite normal, especially in 2009 where space is quite limited. They might be taking a lot of photographs at that time, which may be why they decided to set the photos at a low resolution. --pandakekok9 07:13, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Afrika ontwaakt

Sculpture Afrika ontwaakt thumb|Afrika ontwaakt in june 2020

In 2019 and 2020 I filled the category:Afrika ontwaakt with six pictures of the sculpture Afrika ontwaakt by Wessel Couzijn. The pictures of 2019 were taken during the temporary exhibition ArtZuid of which the sculpture was part. They were deleted rightly. However after they were removed I found out that Afrika ontwaakt was placed on the Emmeplein, Amsterdam in 2016, long before the exibition and was still standing there after. To prove that I took some new photos. I placed the new photos and via a undeletion request the 2019-photos were placed back. However, now the sculpure is in the news again (it gets new neighbours) I found out that all the pictures are deleted again, without letting me know. Even the category has gone by october 2020. Please undelete the following pictures of this statue that is placed in a park that is accessible for everyone: File:ArtZuid 2019, Couzijn, Afrika ontwaakt (8).jpg, File:ArtZuid 2019, Couzijn, Afrika ontwaakt (7).jpg, File:ArtZuid 2019, Couzijn, Afrika ontwaakt (5).jpg, File:ArtZuid 2019, Couzijn, Afrika ontwaakt (4).jpg, File:ArtZuid 2019, Couzijn, Afrika ontwaakt (3).jpg, File:ArtZuid 2019, Couzijn, Afrika ontwaakt (2).jpg, File:2020 Afrika ontwaakt (1).jpg, File:2020 Afrika ontwaakt (2).jpg, File:2020 Afrika ontwaakt (3).jpg en File:2020 Afrika ontwaakt (4).jpg.

  • Weak  Support I've deleted the photos based on this request (see my reasoning there). If the sculpture is still there, then we can consider it to be permanent I guess, although it's hard to say why the sculpture is still there, maybe it'll be gone by tomorrow, and then is it still permanent?

@Ahmadghorbani1: The problem is not the copyright, but that it is a personal photo. Since you haven't contributed much in Wikimedia other than promoting yourself in Wikidata, the admin decided to delete your photo. Maybe do some useful stuff first before asking your photo to be undeleted. pandakekok9 05:11, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Request temporary undeletion

I request a temporary undeletion for the file in order to check if the issues raised here (Fan fiction, the source doesn't show any map like this) are founded or biased. Once I'm sure of its authenticity I'm planning to further discuss the reasoning behind this with the nomitor of the deletion. The reason why I believe it might be biased is one of the nominations done by User:Beshogur seems to be careless or even in bad faith. Check here [14] He gives a link to a third party while completely disregarding the original file File:Kurdish_majority_Turkey.svg (which I find suspiciously underused, most likely due to accessive edit-warring done by a few users here including the nominator for the deletion of both images and many other images related to Kurds and Zazas in Turkey) which references a valid source M. Izady's map on the Kurdish Institute's webpage, readily available in the source of the original file [15].--Balyozxane (talk) 12:25, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, Nominators were right to delete this file. None of the maps on the Institute's page reach this far. Thank you for taking the time to help.--Balyozxane (talk) 03:35, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Conforme a la ley peruana, respecto de File:Carlos Garcia y Garcia.jpg, es una foto de dominio público, sin derecho autor, fue tomada por la prensa del Congreso. Aca la ley:

LEY Nº 27806.- Ley de Transparencia y Acceso a la Información Pública
Artículo 10º.- Información de acceso público
Las entidades de la Administración Pública tienen la obligación de proveer la información requerida si se refiere a la contenida en documentos escritos, fotografías, grabaciones, soporte magnético o digital, o en cualquier otro formato, siempre que haya sido creada u obtenida por ella o que se encuentre en su posesión o bajo su control. Asimismo, para los efectos de esta Ley, se considera como información pública cualquier tipo de documentación financiada por el presupuesto público que sirva de base a una decisión de naturaleza administrativa, así como las actas de reuniones oficiales.

https://sgp.pcm.gob.pe/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/F2-Acceso-a-la-Informacion-Publica.pdf

English version:
According to Peruvian law, regarding File: Carlos Garcia y Garcia.jpg, it is a photo in the public domain, without copyright, it was taken by the press of Congress. Here is the law:
LAW Nº 27806.- Law of Transparency and Access to Public Information
Article 10.- Public access information
Public Administration entities have the obligation to provide the required information if it refers to that contained in written documents, photographs, recordings, magnetic or digital media, or in any other format, provided that it has been created or obtained by it or that is in their possession or under their control. Likewise, for the purposes of this Law, public information is considered to be any type of documentation financed by the public budget that serves as the basis for an administrative decision, as well as the minutes of official meetings.
Jjrt (talk) 20:13, 23 December 2020 (UTC)


I will explain in a little more detail this topic, and the mistakes made in Wikipedia, regarding Peruvian laws.
- The text cited in works of the government, comes from Law 13714 of 1961, this law was repealed by Legislative Decree No. 822, (published on 24 April 1996), implies that what is written in works of the government is not valid. In the current legislative decree nothing is mentioned regarding Works of "legal entities", like Government, municipalities and organizations.
- Law No. 27806.- Law of Transparency and Access to Public Information, allows not only access but also its unlimited use, since said law does not prohibit it. According to the Constitution of Peru (1993): No one is obliged to do what the law does not mandate, nor is they prevented from doing what it does not prohibit.
- What is more, the Peruvian constitution says:
Art.151.- Coercion: Anyone who, through threat or violence, forces another to do what the law does not command or prevents him from doing what it does not prohibit will be punished with a prison sentence of no more than 2 years.
Indeed our laws don't need to tell things like "public access" does not equate public domain. Jjrt (talk) 23:21, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
  • @Jjrt: Firstly, please keep the conversation in one place. There was no need to leave an identical message on my talk page. Secondly, this is not Wikimedia. This is Commons. Thirdly, as a default, everything is protected by copyright law, unless the law explicitly exempts it from protection or the work does not meet the legal threshold for protection. Fourthly, Law No. 27806 does not enumerate that works of the government are in public domain, only that the government has an obligation to provide access under article 10, but does not exempt such work from protection. Copyright in Peru is governed by Legislative Decree No. 822, and works of the government, which are considered collective works, are protected for a period of 70 years after first publication per Art. 54. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 00:27, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
@Nat: Let me explain, Legislative Decree No. 822 does not speak of government work, consequently, it cannot be inferred that because the previous law considered it as collective works the current one considers it as well. The regulations of Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Peru have serious problems, I am going to delete collective works because it is causing confusion. As I have already mentioned, our laws allow doing what is "literally not prohibited".
If you want to present an opposed position you need to understand Spanish to read properly our laws. The official source of the government is INDECOPI, the subject is called "OBRAS": https://www.indecopi.gob.pe/marco-normativo-pi — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jjrt (talk • contribs)


@Nat: I checked that you reversed my changes in Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Peru, I posted my explanation in the project page discussion. I will revert your reversion, here mi explanation: It is not acceptable that foreigners make inferences, conclusions, and write about Peruvian laws, thus generating confusion. If it has to be discussed, it will be among Peruvians, if necessary we will ask the government institution to pronounce on the issue, meanwhile, that text must be deleted. I respect foreign laws, I claim the same respect.

The last text is independent of my petition here, the photo was taken by the press of the Peruvian Congress to diffuse the recognition that Carlos Garcia y Garcia has received there. Jjrt (talk) 02:00, 24 December 2020 (UTC)


@Nat: I decline my request undeletion written here so that I am not misunderstood. However, it is not acceptable that foreigners make inferences, conclusions, and write about Peruvian laws, thus generating confusion. If it has to be discussed, it will be among Peruvians, if necessary we will ask the government institution to pronounce on the issue, meanwhile, that text must be deleted. Peruvians are independent.

 Support 1904 painting by Gonzalo Bilbao. Thuresson (talk) 09:16, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - Works must be PD in the country of origin and in the US. 1938 + 80 + 1 = 01.01.2019, which is after URAA of 01.01.1996; thus, per COM:HIRTLE, the earliest this would be PD in the US is 2021 unless there is evidence that a different circumstance is in play here. (Mere creation, 1904, is not publication. If this was also published proximate to that date, evidence of the same should be provided as it could then be restored per pre-1925 publication.) Эlcobbola talk 11:28, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
This painting was a present from his creator, Gonzalo Bilbao, to a friend, Ángel Avilés. The latter wrote on the back of the painting a poem dedicated to Gonzalo Bilbao in gratitude for the gift, signing it on September 3, 1904. Since in 1904 the painting was finished and delivered to the recipient of the painting, can it be considered that it was already published on that date? This can be consulted in the following reference. --Hameryko (talk) 12:16, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
 Support The US Copyright Office has a note about the act of publication: "Publication is the distribution of copies or phonorecords of a work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending. ..." Presenting a work to someone else is also a transfer of ownership, so the work has been published before 1925. PD-US-expired applies. De728631 (talk) 16:07, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
 Support While publication was necessary, sounds like that was probable. The lack of publication seems more like a theoretical doubt, not something that is particularly likely. Under a main theory of the "limited publication" doctrine, a distribution would have to be to a limited set of people, for a limited purpose, and no further right of distribution, to not be "general publication" (which started the copyright clock). Giving to a friend would not seem to check all those boxes, so likely published. Carl Lindberg (talk) 00:04, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

I don't understand why the file was deleted. The picture only has text and simple shapes, therefore, ineligible for copyright. The characters featured in the logo also are not copyrighted according to Explosm, rather listed under a trademark. Also, the current image used over wikis is clearly fan-art as NONE of the characters ever looked like that in the comics, nor in animation. Shaddai Wright (talk) 14:44, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

I would like to request this image be undeleted for use with in an article that I'm currently translating from Italian Wikipedia.

First, this image has been on Italian Wikimedia for over 10 years without comment (link), suggesting it is unlikely to receive further copyright challenges. Second, the work is dated to around 1797, which definitely meets the criteria of Template:PD-Old and Template:PD-Art, even though its author is unknown. Finally, the low quality resolution of the print, distortion at the left edge of the image, and grid pattern from scanning or photography make this a Template:PD-Scan. This is not a high-quality image being used by an existing copyright holder.

All of this go toward a fair use argument for the use of this image, particularly because it documents an important historical moment of the Horses of Saint Mark that is not currently on Wikimdia—their removal from Venice by Napoleon's armies. Wingedserif (talk) 14:44, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

And it was reuploaded with a different filename. -- Asclepias (talk) 20:00, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 Comment The uploads by Helvio ricina discussed in Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Helvio ricina were a quite nightmarish and time-consuming affair to review, as it was a mix of reproductions without proper source and apparently "real" own works (photos of various places and objects taken with an iPhone). Regarding the specific file in question here, I commented "Photo of reproduction (rasterized) of some apparently older work, but no proper source/author given". The date of 1797 for the original work was not given in the Commons description (instead, it was the upload date "10 September 2019"). If it is indeed a 1797 work, as assumed in Italian Wikipedia, then I agree that it's a case for {{PD-Scan}} and could be restored, but where's the source for that? The image depicts a historic event in 1797, but how do we know that it's contemporary? Who is the artist, where and when was it published, what was the uploader's source? Gestumblindi (talk) 12:11, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
@Nat: Sorry, I'm new to Wikimedia specifically & didn't realize (and have a muscular reflex to argue for fair use from working in book publishing): please just apply my argument towards why the work and the specific photograph is likely in the public domain. I definitely agree that this shouldn't by a CC or "own work". Regarding Gestumblindi's comment above, I'll keep looking, but I did find (this doesn't look great) another photograph of this print on the photo database Alamy (link) that dates the work to 1797, without an author. This source, a translated excerpt used in the article I'm translating, suggests both that the work dates to 1797 and that the work was made anonymously, which would make a finding an individual attribution impossible. Wingedserif (talk) 15:13, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
Also, better, and sourced, reproductions exist on websites of public libraries (e.g. Gallica) and websites of art dealers. -- Asclepias (talk) 19:22, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for your research. Getty's colour version is probably a later colourisation and I'm not fond of these. If it was colourised by/for Getty, there might also be copyright concerns for the colour version. I think that the 2010 upload you linked to is fine for now. Thanks to Asclepias, I see that Helvio ricina recently uploaded "their" inferior copy again at File:Chevaux de bronze de saint Marc sur le point d'être envoyés à Paris.jpg. I propose to not restore the file in question, and to delete that copy as well. Gestumblindi (talk) 20:53, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

  • @Gone Postal:  Question Could you provide us a rationale as to why you believe that the file falls under {{PD-text}}? --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 20:27, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
  • @Gone Postal: File:The faith of graffiti, original cover, 1974.pdf has been undeleted for the duration of this discussion. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 12:21, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
    • Ok, I remember now. The text "The Faith of Graffiti" is what I was talking about in regards to it being PD-text. Now as for "Toots Sissy" text it is no more creative that a signature, for example; it is much less creative than other photos of graffiti (see this) and it is way too short to be copyrighted as text. And this makes a photo of it a 2D representation of a non-copyrightable 2D object, which we consider public domain. Now I must admit, that it is possible that we need to look closer at all the graffiti uploads and create a policy on how to deal with them, but (although I am not a lawyer) I would be very surprised if a writing of a 2 word phrase in a non-caligraphic way constitutes a copyrightable work in any jurisdiction. ℺ Gone Postal ( ) 18:38, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

  • The two o's are not simply written as letters - it looks like they are stylized as eyes. It may still be a too simple piece of artwork, but it contains something more than written words. whym (talk) 11:46, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
  • I did not see it as too simple. With that said, I would not oppose the restoration should that be the consensus. Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 07:56, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
  • I think the "Toots Sissy" itself is too simple on its own, unless all of that was put there by a single artist (there would be a selection and arrangement copyright on the entire thing in that case). Stylizing as eyes doesn't really matter -- they are still small variations on letters. However, I'm not as sure about the photograph itself -- the particular framing might be a claim, though that is probably about it. Per this page, the photographer is claiming copyright on the photo. The graffiti is from 1973 in NYC, meaning it would need a copyright notice anyways, so the debate really is over the photograph. Carl Lindberg (talk) 14:15, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
  • @Gone Postal: Per Carl Lindberg above, there might be a case in which the photo is copyrightable and there appears to be a claim. Thoughts? Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 17:55, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the ping, Nat. My understanding is that we do have {{PD-scan}} because of something like this. I do realise that this is not a scan, and if the photo was taken as a weird angle we would perhaps have a reason to conclude that it is under copyright, otherwise it is a faithful reproduction of an existing work. Personally I would argue that even if it had some minor 3D elements it might be in PD, but even that is not a case here, not withstanding the width of the paint it is a 2D wall surface. I thought that a while back there was a talk about Legal making a public opinion on such matter, but I cannot find a link now. ℺ Gone Postal ( ) 18:01, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
    • @Clindberg: Thoughts? --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 21:41, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
  • I'm not sure a "faithful reproduction of an existing work" is exactly the right phrase; it's not really an existing work in a copyright sense. I havered to myself about the difference between colorizing a photograph (not copyrightable in the US) and colorizing a whole movie (copyrightable in the US), and compared that to copying an existing painting, versus any 2-D surface. Given that there's a claim, it's hard; there's a good argument for it being PD, but it's also beyond anything a court has said, and I could make the argument against it.--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:46, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
  • Like Prosfilaes, I'm kind of on the fence. The template would be {{PD-Art}}, not {{PD-scan}}. It is certainly a straight-on photograph. I don't know if it's a picture of the whole wall though; it could be a very specific section with a very specific framing, which might evoke something very different than just looking at the wall. I don't think there is much else than original framing of the photograph that could be copyrightable -- so it's pretty thin. (And the book cover itself is sort of a crop itself, though maybe the back cover had the rest.). Per the Copyright Office it's possible for a crop to itself be copyrightable, but it would be rare. I'm not sure we have good examples of cases either way, for this sort of thing. Focusing on a detail of a PD painting... we have kept those under PD-Art. But the question is if there is enough creativity in a photograph of a particular section of a wall (graffiti or not) -- it is still a photograph. Outside of the PD-Art case, where the framing was not creative either, I'm not sure I've heard of a photograph ruled below the TOO in the U.S. lately. It's not exactly a single work that is being cropped either; the photograph is creating the framing for the work. Good arguments can probably be made on either side... but I wouldn't be comfortable recommending someone to go and make further derivative use of it. Carl Lindberg (talk) 04:44, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

 Not done: This was a hard decision, however, I must close this as  Not done per COM:PCP. If the uploaded file were just a photograph, and the upload was that photographer, that would be one case, and there would no significant issues hosting it on Commons. However, while one could argue that {{PD-Art}} could apply (i.e. "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain") as the graffiti is in the public domain as they are without a copyright notice, there is an assertion of copyright by Jon Naar, the photographer of the image used in the cover of the essay The Faith of Graffiti, who is also named as an author per the entry on Google Books. One could suspected that there is a copyright notice that exists within the flaps or pages of the printed essay -- and as such, significant doubt as to the freedom of the work. As Carl stated above, "I wouldn't be comfortable recommending someone to go and make further derivative use of it". Unless there is clear evidence that the copyright notice was absent within the pages of the printed essay or the copyright holder has relicensed the work under an accepted free licence, the file will remain deleted, and can be undeleted in 2071 (1974+95+1).

 Not done: Procedural close. Nothing to be accomplished here. @Comrade-yutyo: This is not Village pump or Village pump/Copyright. If they are unable to understand English, that is not an issue as we are a multilingual project -- We have the permissions template in multiple languages and please see meta:OTRS#Permissions for the appropriate email address for the language in question. Thank you for your understanding. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 14:54, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

File:Example.jpgGimécourt blason et Lavallée 55 Blason

je demande le maintien de ces deux fichiers dont la suppression m'a été annoncée sous prétexte de copyreight du site nos "blasons Lorrains".
Je confirme que je suis le créateur et dessinateur de ces deux fichiers et que le site "nos blasons lorrains " est le mien comme je le signale dans ma page d'utilisateur  dans wikipédia. C'est moi-même qui est également inséré les deux blasons dans mon site sous une autre dimension.
Merci de régulariser.

 Not done: Procedural close. Nothing to be accomplished here. User was already informed of options in a previously rejected UDEL requst. @Rojac55: Œuvres publiées pour la première fois ailleurs nécessitent que le titulaire du droit d'auteur envoie une autorisation sous une licence dite «libre» par courriel à OTRS (permissions-fr@wikimedia.org ou permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). Une fois que l'OTRS a déterminé qu'ils ont reçu une autorisation suffisante et qu'il n'y a aucune autre raison de suppression, un(e) agent(e) de l'OTRS effectuera ou demandera la restauration. Merci de votre compréhension. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 13:41, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
