Reason: This is an image of the reverse of the 2009 Abraham Commemorative silver dollar. You can find a copy of this image here. The reverse was designed by U.S. mint sculptor-engraver Phebe Hemphill, who is an employee of the mint (source). The reverse (but not the obverse) of the coin is therefore in the public domain.

There is never any reason to upload an image a second time as nothing is ever actually deleted, merely hidden.

This file is awaiting verification by the VRT and I forgot to place the {{OTRS pending}} tag. I would prefer if it can be restored so that I do not have to reupload the image. ––FormalDude (talk) 20:59, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

I assume you mean undeleted. It was my understanding that the file could stay uploaded with {{OTRS pending}} tag while awaiting VRT processing. Is that incorrect? ––FormalDude (talk) 06:24, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
As a general rule, that is not correct. Until we have a verified OTRS ticket, the image should stay hidden. We do this because there are many images where the uploader promises to get the appropriate OTRS message and it doesn't ever happen. In any event, you will not need to -- indeed, you must not -- upload the image a second time. Although we use the word "deleted", "hidden" would be better as nothing is actually ever deleted from Commons. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:19, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

@Jazzie303: there are two things: a) is the subject the copyright holder and not the person who took the photo? And b), please avoid uploading correspondences; it is not the correct method. You must follow instructions indicated at COM:VRT. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 07:09, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
 OpposeThere are two issues here:
  • The permission must come directly from the copyright holder using VRT, which is usually the photographer, not the subject. It cannot be forwarded.
  • Permission for use on a Wikipedia page is not sufficient. The permission must be a free license for any use anywhere by anybody, including commercial use.

I have emailed a copy of the letter in which the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society granted me permission to use this photo to Creative Commons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Busypencil (talk • contribs) 14:49, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

In order to undelete the photo, a free license permission needs to be receive=d and verified by VRT. However, I see at least three problems here: (1) a permission limitted to Commons cannot be accepted - we need a free license; (2) we cannot accept forwarded permissions due to legal reasons, and (3) I doubt how can the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society be the copyright holder if they even do not know who is the author whom they should have received the copyright from.

This file was deleted as "license laundering" without further explanation by User:Billinghurst and without warning. The video is part of a series of leaks of so called Pentagon UFO videos. These are videos which have been confirmed by the Pentagon as authentic (as in, filmed by government personnel) and are part of the US government investigations under the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force and formerly the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. Similar videos are "FLIR", "GOFAST" and "GIMBAL", which are all on Commons already, as is a screencap of another video (USS Russel). Regarding this particular video, the spokesperson of the Pentagon has confirmed it was filmed by the US Navy aboard the USS Omaha in statements to NBC News and others [1] [2] [3] "The Pentagon has confirmed that the video is real in a statement to various outlets, including NBC News and The Debrief. “I can confirm that the video was taken by Navy personnel,” spokesperson Susan Gough said. She added that the footage is under review by the UAP Task Force, the Pentagon’s recently launched team dedicated to investigating such incidents."

As part of a government official work, it's under the public domain. This video was leaked by a private individual named Jeremy Corbell, who watermarked the video. No other version of the video exists publicly yet, and Corbell doesn't claim to own the copyright. The video is used to illustrate the Pentagon UFO videos article on Wikipedia. As the name of the article implies, the videos themselves are an essential part of the article. --Loganmac (talk) 02:00, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

This is a COM:DW of a US Navy video. Can you provide an evidence that the DW creator made it as their US Navy-related duty? Ankry (talk) 21:24, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
Yes, the video itself is part of an official briefing. The screencaps of the briefing show the material they used is the cellphone (or handheld) recording I uploaded (minus the watermark), filmed inside the Combat Information Center of the ship in question, as such it was filmed by US Navy personnel during official duty and handled to an official investigative agency (the UAPTF), with the material being part of "ongoing investigations" by the U.S. government. [4] [5]. Regardless, take in mind the cited policy states "All subsequent works based on another, previous work but lacking substantial new creative content are merely considered copies of that work and are entitled to no new copyright protection as a result and should not be referred to as "derivative works"". I wouldn't consider a cellphone video of a screen to be substantial creative work to guarantee new copyright, else you could consider a cellphone recording of a cinema screen/movie copyrighted. --Loganmac (talk) 02:25, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
And similarly, simply adding a watermark to a video does not create any new copyright. It's hard to tell without seeing the video, but based on the description I'd give good odds any watermark was automatically added by whatever video editing software the leaker used. Unless the specific content of the watermark qualifies as a creative work on its own (which I find highly unlikely), the only relevant copyright here is the original one which is covered by {{PD-USGov}} Xover (talk) 18:54, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose As I understand it, this is a cellphone video of a screen in a US Navy ship. As such, it was almost certainly made by a government employee. However, for it to be {{PD-USGov}}, it must have been taken in the course of the employee's duties -- that is, the creator must be employed as a photographer or must have been ordered to make the video. It seems unlikely that a Navy photographer would have used a cell-phone to produce a video in the course of their duties. It also seems unlikely that a sailor would be ordered to take a cellphone video. Therefore substantial doubt arises as to whether or not this is actually PD-USGOV.

As for the argument that a video of a screen is not itself copyrightable, please remember that Bridgeman applies only to stills and that there is no case law suggesting that a cellphone video does not have a copyright, no matter what the subject. .     Jim . . .

This might not have been deleted on accurate grounds. The photo is from C-SPAN, depicting a congressional hearing. Nothing that transpires in the US Congress is subject to Copyright. C-SPAN, as exhibitor, does request attrtibution -- which was in the chyron of the photo.

أبراهيم غيث (talk) 03:24, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

@أبراهيم غيث: Almost any photo is copyrighted since its creation. However, determining copyright terms require information about author and initial publication and depends on the initial publication country. Note, that in US anonymous unpublished photos are copyrighated 120 years since creation. This term obviously did not expire yet. Note also, that providing false or inacurate information is against Commons policy (at upload you claimed that you are the original photographer and copyright holder who made the photo in 2014).

Hello. Please may you undelete this file: It is the work of a public body and re-use is permitted since it is a work of the government. As already stated "There is no copyright notice or prohibition of re-use." in the information booklet. Also please see S.I. No. 525/2015 - European Communities (Re-use of Public Sector Information) (Amendment) Regulations 2015. http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2015/si/525/made/en/print read together with "Did you know that you have the right to re-use information which public bodies hold, under the European Communities (Re-use of Public Sector Information) Regulations 2005?" https://data.gov.ie/pages/re-useofpublicsectorinformation. The booklet was given for free to members of the public during COVID-19 vaccination. Thank you. Ear-phone (talk) 19:50, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose Conditions of use (excerpt):

"Re-use is subject to the following conditions. You must:

  1. Acknowledge the source (HSE) and our copyright in cases where you supply the information to others;
  2. Reproduce the information accurately;
  3. Not use the information in a misleading way;
  4. Not use the information for the principal purpose of advertising or promoting a particular product or service;
  5. Not use the information for or in support of illegal, immoral, fraudulent, or dishonest purposes."
Thuresson (talk) 20:48, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

As highlighted by https://www.hse.ie/eng/services/yourhealthservice/psi the use falls entirely within this remit. "The HSE is subject to the Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations, available at data.gov.ie ( https://data.gov.ie/pages/re-useofpublicsectorinformation)" The HSE was acknowledged, the photo was an accurate reproduction, the information was not misleading, it was not principally an advertisement or promotional and certainly not for illegal, fraudulent, etc. purposes. Ear-phone (talk) 21:40, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - The condition precluding use "for the principal purpose of advertising or promoting a particular product or service" violates our requirement that commercial usage be allowed. As is also explained by COM:L, freeness conditions (like commercial use) must apply to "anyone, anytime, for any purpose." That Commons itself happens, or WMF projects themselves happen, not to be a commercial usage is of no relevance ("the use falls entirely within this remit"). Эlcobbola talk 21:47, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

"The HSE is subject to the Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations, available at data.gov.ie ( https://data.gov.ie/pages/re-useofpublicsectorinformation)" - to quote the legislation "Open data policies which encourage the wide availability and re-use of public sector information for private or commercial purposes, with minimal or no legal, technical or financial constraints, and which promote the circulation of information not only for economic operators but primarily for the public, can play an important role in promoting social engagement, and kick-start and promote the development of new services based on novel ways to combine and make use of such information." https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=uriserv:OJ.L_.2019.172.01.0056.01.ENG. So commercial use is possible. Ear-phone (talk) 21:57, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

@Ear-phone: The contradicting declaration must be resolved elsewhere, not by us, prior to publishing the image in Commons. The declared restriction of using for advertisements is definitely not acceptable. Ankry (talk) 06:36, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

@Ankry: There is no contradiction. The principle law the HSE is subject to is clearly mentioned on the page. This supersedes any apparently contradictory declaration. I have linked to the actual law which is unambiguous in its stance. Ear-phone (talk) 07:35, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

@Ear-phone: Well, it is still unclear to me why this particular image may be under the PSI license: the on-site declaration clearly states that only information, videos and documents provided there are under PSI license and Photographs and artwork of any kind are explicitely excluded.  Oppose per this. Ankry (talk) 14:35, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
@Ankry: You may be perhaps deliberately misreading and quoting statements out of context. Obviously material that is owned by third parties is what is being referred to in that portion e.g. "Brochures, leaflets or other documents whose author is not HSE." https://www.hse.ie/eng/services/yourhealthservice/psi. And it is completely untrue what you claim, "that only 'information, videos and documents' provided there are under PSI license". Anyhow, the law is very clear. I do understand legal language can confuse some people. Unfortunately, time is finite; I now no longer have time to debate unalienable rights enshrined in law.

File:Rwanda 3717 r11.1 sep18.jpg‬ Undelete this file. It is licensed for sharing by UN Geospatial

Hi, this file in question is a map of Rwanda. It is licensed for sharing on Wikimedia Commons, as are all UN Maps.

This pre-2006 map of Rwanda, also published by UN Geospatial, is under copyright and licensed for sharing. Note the discussion on that page, which reads: "This image is a map derived from a United Nations map. Unless stated otherwise, UN maps are to be considered in the public domain. This applies worldwide. Some UN maps have special copyrights, as indicated on the map itself."

Here is the source URL and publication information. Note the absence of a year and version number in the URL, indicating that this is the current political map of Rwanda.

Author: UN Geospatial Publication Date: Saturday, 01 September 2018 Location of Publication: Rwanda Document Topic/Theme: General Document Type: National & territory Copyright: United Nations

Please see also their discussion of licensing.

I recommend further that the outdated map be renamed with a year so that users do not mistake it for the current political map of Rwanda.

--Honest Egret (talk) 14:55, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

@Honest Egret: In order to undelete you need to provide info about a valid license template that can be applied to this map. Ankry (talk) 16:08, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

--That sounds like a great idea. Regrettably I don't know what that means, and the wizard forbids deleted files. There is a tutorial, but I'm not interested in completing a tutorial.

The issue as I see it is that Wikimedia Commons has an outdate political map of Rwanda. I'm doing my best to correct that. The terse and oblique references to provide a "valid license template" are effectively "read the fine manual" to newbies.

What exactly do I need to do in order to fix the metadata for the deleted image? None of the documentation provided succinctly answers that question.

Best,

Honest Egret (talk) 17:00, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

{{PD-UN-map}} is the right template to use, which I have done for you. That said, it seems like there is a technical issue with this image. The full-size original is fine, but every reduced version is blurry. I think it's because it's not a real raster JPEG. Can you please flatten and export the file as a real JPEG and re-upload? -- King of ♥ 18:36, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
@Jameslwoodward: Why did you re-delete the image? I believe it is inappropriate for you to be making judgment calls on the applicability of {{PD-UN-map}} when you are so heavily w:WP:INVOLVED on one side of the debate (which was ultimately closed against your position). Note that the UN copyright notice is meant to be for the general site, and states: "None of the materials provided on this web site may be used ... without permission in writing from the publisher." And https://www.un.org/Depts/Cartographic/english/about.htm is precisely the written permission we need. It is clearly identified as a UN Geospatial work at the source.
Feel free to re-nominate the template for deletion, but do not take an action on an individual file contrary to consensus just because you happen to disagree with it. -- King of ♥ 21:40, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
I had not seen the duplicate request when I deleted the image. I had forgotten the discussion of this template 5 years ago -- I simply read the copyright notice attached to the page the image came from. It is a very clear ARR. However, I have no interest in getting involved in another heated discussion.
I note, by the way, that you have been rather quick to close several requests here without any input from others. There was a time when we had an informal agreement among those who frequent this page that nothing except the very most obvious cases would be closed without at least two comments unless at least 24 hours had passed. I think that's a good rule to follow. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:23, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
Ah, sorry if I came across as a bit brusque; I thought you were aware of my undeletion and knowingly re-deleted it without attempting to discuss. Sure, the 24-hour rule makes sense. -- King of ♥ 18:07, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

  1. COM:SCOPE: if the subject does not qualify for a Wikipedia article, you need to prove that the photo is educationally useful elsewhere
  2. Copyright: as this is small resolution (not original) photo, you were asked on the image description page to provide a free license permission to <permissions-commons-pl@wikimedia.org>; you would also need to provide an evidence of your authorship.

Source of image was misinterpreted. The image was deleted due to a non-permissive Flickr license found in the URL found in the image description. Flickr was not the source.

I have signed talent release forms from all actors to use their image, recording, and likeliness to promote Ghost Searchers. This is an abuse of power. Tell me what you specifically need from me.

Under Law No. 8 of March 14, 1996 on Copyright and Neighboring Rights, the following shall not benefit from the legal protection accorded to copyright: [...] (b) official texts of a political, legislative, administrative or judicial nature, and official translations thereof;

The file is a scan of an official document made by the Mureș County Committee of the w:en:Romanian Communist Party in 1985. So the reason invoked by rubin16 is void ab initio.--Kun Kipcsak (talk) 19:09, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

  • Undelete. Follows cited law by the letter. Here is the image online so that everyone understands what's the request about.
Two additional comments from me: 1) it seems there were two comments added on the original document after the scan; but those are simple texts, thus non-copyrightable; 2) there may arise a question of authenticity – @Kun Kipcsak: what is the source and is it safe to say the document is authentic? Gikü (talk) 19:50, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
Ankry, still PD in Romania, as the older law explicitly mentioned only "intellectual creations in the litterary, artistic or scientific domain" and even contained a list of protected work types (art. 9).--Strainu (talk) 15:12, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose Aside from its status in the US, I am not even sure that it is {{PD-RO-exempt}}. While the Communist Party was the dominant force in Romania in 1985, it was not the government, so this is not "an official text". .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:50, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

That's an interesting point, Jim, but this is about official texts. Likely, in modern Romania it is equivalent to "governemnt-issued documents". However, the constitution of the time mentioned PCR as "the leading political force in RSR". I don't think you can get any better official endorsement than the constitution.
De facto, in the counties the differentiation was also totally formal. The president of the party's county committee was also the president of the executive committee of the county council ([6], p. 115) and the two organizations held common meetings (same, p. 118 and [7]).--Strainu (talk) 15:12, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
My thought was the same as @Jameslwoodward posted above. The party is still different than the government, it can’t issue decrees or laws directly despite having an enormous influence on things going on. Otherwise we can start thinking of releasing of all works of Communist parties in ex-USSR with the same logic… rubin16 (talk) 19:19, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
My argument was not that the party was the government, but that the party had the same status and importance from a legal PoV as the government. I don't know enough to comment on the situation in USSR, but I would not be surprised if the same applies there.--Strainu (talk) 19:46, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

 Support the undeletion per my arguments above.--Strainu (talk) 15:12, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Again, while the constitution may say the party is "the leading political force in RSR", the leading political force is not the government. If it were, there would have been no need to maintain two sets of organizations and titles. Also, I note that this isn't even on letterhead, so it is hard to say that it is an "official text". .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:10, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
Not done, it has not been shown through case law or other judicial review that texts created by a political party in Romania is considered "official" in the sense used in Romanian copyright law. The text is not simple enough to be PD-Text. Thuresson (talk) 14:36, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

Reason: per Commons:Deletion requests/File:Lion monument (24590950953).jpg. The monument was commissioned in 1955 (66 years ago) by emperor Hailé Selassié of Ethiopia, that means the economic rights belonged to the Kingdom/Republic of Ethiopia (not to sculptor Maurice Calka) for 50 years, and now it's in the Public Domain per PD-Ethiopia.--Holapaco77 (talk) 09:46, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

 Question @Holapaco77: I see no information about different copyright term in COM:Ethiopia about commissioned or government-owned works. This just means that the government is the copyright holder. And Maurice Calka is still the author. Why do you think that copyright term expires before 2050? Ankry (talk) 06:33, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 Oppose. {{PD-Ethiopia}} consists of 5 points. Points 1, 2, 3 and 5 are not relevant. Point 4 says: "It is another kind of work, and 50 years have passed since the year of death of the author (or last-surviving author)". The work was commissioned by Haile Selassie and COM:Ethiopia says: "the original owner of the rights shall be the employer or the person who commissioned the work." That means: copyright belongs to Haile Selassie. He died in 1975 and copyright lasts until 2026 (50+1 years from death). Bytheway, as Ethiopia has not sighed Bern convention, URAA does not apply and 95 years from erection are not demanded. Taivo (talk) 06:59, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
I disagree with above. There is no information that comissioner is the author. They are the initial copyright holder only. I know no case when copyright lenght depends on copyright holder's life. Haile Selassie death date is irrelevant. Ankry (talk) 10:00, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 Support It is a mistake to claim that the copyright belonged to Haile Selassie. If the work is administrated by the State, it belongs to the Ethiopian Government. Following the Civil Code (art. 1445 and 1446.c) the work shall be in the public domain. Thus I support the undeletion of those files (and we should amend {{PD-Ethiopia}} for works managed by the State). --Ruthven (msg) 07:35, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
I thought about who is the copyright holder. Haile Selassie was not prime minister or president, but emperor, so for me makes sense, that he is copyright holder. Taivo (talk) 09:03, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose Ruthven's cite is tempting, but I read "public domain" there in the sense of "public ownership". I see nothing in the cited statute that says anything about copyright. I think the law is clear that the copyright is owned by the government, but it is still measured by the life of the creator, not the owner -- that is true in general, as otherwise you could make a copyright last forever by transferring ownership to ever younger people. Maurice Calka died in 1999, so the copyright runs until 1/1/2050. I see nothing to suggest that the fact that the government owns the copyright makes it PD. Only a limited set of government works are PD:

"any official text of a legislative, administrative or of legal nature, as well as official translations thereof". ({{PD-Ethiopia}})

The situation is similar to the copyrights on some US coins -- the US Mint owns the copyright but the works are not PD. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:46, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

 Neutral While in some legal systems regulations concerning copyright may be distributed among various legal acts, we need some evidence whether the "Public Domain" term in Civil Code is related to copyright, or not. Ankry (talk) 08:35, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
A little  Oppose, even though they are public domain in Ethiopia, they might still be copyrighted in the United States, we call it URAA-protection, @Holapaco77: you might need to read COM:Hirtle Chart to know when you can see they join US public domain, if you have evidences, however, that can explain why URAA can't apply here (NB: "Government works" don't automatically be an exempt of URAA, see an Ukrainian failed case Commons:Undeletion_requests/Archive/2020-10#Files_deleted_under_Commons:Deletion_requests/File:FC_Arsenal-Kyivshchyna_Bila_Tserkva_Logo.png), please continue explaining below. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 08:32, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
@Liuxinyu970226: URAA is irrelevant as per Taivo. The country has no copyright relations with US and is not a signatory to Berne. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 10:01, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

  •  Oppose That is not how copyright works. What you need is a free licence for the original image that has to be given by the original copyright holder, and in this case there is no evidence of a free licence at Consejo de Monumentos Nacionales. You cannot simply grant your own licence for an image you found on the internet. De728631 (talk) 12:19, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 Oppose @Abigonzala: that is the wrong method. The correct method is to contact the copyright holder of the photograph and ask them if they would allow the use of free (commercial) license on their photo. If OK, the copyright holder must send a correspondence to Wikimedia Commons via COM:VRT method. Just by citing the website does not make your upload (their photo) free.

Your contribution to Commons is none; your contribution to zhwiki is limitted to few edits in zh:林芙芙 and most ot them are reverted. I do not consider this significant contribution but this is, of course, an arbitrary opinion and I welcome opinions of other admins. Also, there is no page where you can use the image at the moment. Unused personal image of a non-notable person should be deleted. So, maybe in some time... Ankry (talk) 19:29, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

你好,Marco56333確實是我授權給他的,我的instagram上的這張圖片我也有給予共享. 另外,在zh:林芙芙中,確實他編輯的部分有被還原,但他也是該頁面的創建人,而且他盡力的去遵守wiki的"中立"政策,即使被還原次數有點多,但他也盡力改善zh:林芙芙,讓該頁面所表達的方向更加中立且符合規章.希望你不要因此刪掉File:M自拍照.jpg.--Adad01023 (talk) 22:31, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Greetings. This is a photo which I took aboard a public train of a COVID-19 social distancing public sign. The work was produced by a government/public sector entity, Iarnród Éireann, which is under the "Open data policies which encourage the wide availability and re-use of public sector information for private or commercial purposes, with minimal or no legal, technical or financial constraints, and which promote the circulation of information not only for economic operators but primarily for the public, can play an important role in promoting social engagement, and kick-start and promote the development of new services based on novel ways to combine and make use of such information." https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=uriserv:OJ.L_.2019.172.01.0056.01.ENG. This photo helps to depict the range of responses to the pandemic across various sectors. Thank you. Ear-phone (talk) 22:47, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - Iarnród Éireann is a subsidary of Córas Iompair Éireann, a Statutory Corporation. Whole or partial ownership by the government is not at all the same as being the government. No evidence whatsoever is on offer here that Directive (EU) 2019/1024 is applicable to Iarnród Éireann works. Эlcobbola talk 20:22, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
"Iarnród Éireann (or Irish Rail), a subsidiary company of a State-owned company, Coras Iompair Éireann (CIÉ), is responsible for operating rail services. Iarnród Éireann falls under the remit of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport." https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/travel_and_recreation/public_transport/rail_services_in_ireland.html#
"As Ireland’s public service railway, Iarnród Éireann is ready and able to support..." https://www.irishrail.ie/Admin/IrishRail/media/Content/About%20Us/IE-Strategy-2027_Final_One-Page_20210114.pdf In short Iarnród Éireann is a public sector entity. Ear-phone (talk) 13:14, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
Verily, Iarnród Éireann provides rail services. Iarnród Éireann is operated by ("under remit of") the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. These do not make it a government entity. It is telling that you've provided no source that says Iarnród Éireann works are under Directive (EU) 2019/1024. Where is an Iarnród Éireann site that says its content is so released? For example, compare and contrast the presence of such a page at actual government sites like citizensinformation.ie (which you've referenced) to the equivalent at www.irishrail.ie (!!!) that says "All content included on the Digital Platforms, such as text, graphics, logos, button icons, images, audio clips and software is our property or the property of our licensor and is protected by applicable copyright and/or other intellectual property laws. You acknowledge that you are only permitted to use any material contained on the Digital Platforms as authorised by us and you further agree not to copy, reproduce, transmit, distribute or create derivative works of such material without our prior written authorisation." How do you figure Iarnród Éireann would have such terms if the directive actually applied to them? Эlcobbola talk 13:49, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
There is very little point since you do not understand that Iarnród Éireann is state/government owned, thus funded by tax payers and revenue from public service users. It is straight forward. For instance, following your logic this image should be deleted too https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:COVID-19_Social_Distancing_Bilingual_Sign_T%C3%ADr_na_n%C3%93g_Park_Carpenterstown_(2020).jpg (but obviously not, since it is a public sign, with the logos of government entities on it). Or deleting this picture where at least four people are identifiable from their faces, with no record of them giving their informed consent https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a3/High_Street_in_Galway_%282012%29.jpg. Yet you spend time deleting legitimate content related to COVID-19 public health. I do understand interpreting law can be challenging. I now no longer have the time to debate, at length, straightforward issues clearly enshrined in law. 213.233.155.175 16:01, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

I was editing Isabel Saint Malo's wikipedia page with verifiable and reliable information with cited sources, including news agencies, governments, and organizations. One of the photos I had placed in her wiki page was the file first called Isabel Saint Malo at the United Nations.jpg and now it is called Ismaatun.jpg. I think that there has been this problem because it was me who at first deleted the picture from her page and then tried to re-insert it.

So a bunch of files was deleted in Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Departmental awards of the Soviet Union.

I can ADD A LINK link to each book. We are also happy to add alternative text (alt text) for each item. We can provide SVG for most items if needed. However, it is most important to us anyway to have them reinstated because links within the books that go to Wikimedia Commons are now broken.

I can provide additional documentation/author agreements, etc if needed. Thank you

  • Signing your posts is required on talk pages and it is a Commons policy to sign your posts on deletion requests, undeletion requests, and noticeboards. To do so, simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments. Your user name or IP address (if you are not logged in) and a timestamp will then automatically be added when you save your comment. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). Thank you.
  • @Marco Munno: Please do not open new requests concerning this image while this discussion is still open. They will be closed without a response.
  • The logo was deleted due to copyright issues, nobody doubts that the logo is the official one.
  • I see no mention of your Wikimedia account on the abovementioned page, se we cannot verify your identity basing on that page. However, this may be irrelevant as it is still not clear whether a communication manager is authorized to sign contracts in behalf of the club. And the required license is a contract. A time-unlimitted contract.
  • As you claimed at uplad to own the logo copyright personally, and such organization logos are in most cases the organication property, not personal property, we doubt whether you are familiar with copyright issues you are involved in here and so we need to confirm what you say basing on public records or on e-mail communication.
  • If the club did not grant a free license to their logo on public, following the email-based procedure described in VRT is the only available undeletion path (as for any previously published image). Ankry (talk) 12:08, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

This was deleted in a deletion request because the admin who deleted it (@P199: ) didn't like the fact that it lacked context (whatever that means) or a description. Both of which are ridiculous reasons to delete a file. Especially when people two people had voted to keep the file. So I'd like it restored, per the consensus to keep it in the deletion discussion. FYI, to @P199: it's a logo for the Mexican television channel Golden Edge. All logos of companies in Mexico are public domain. Which you could have easily determined and added to the description if the file not having one was so important. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:41, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

@Adamant1: The logo was deleted due to scope doubts, which are unrelated to copyright. As we generally do not host unused logos in Wikimedia, please advice, where the logo is intended to be used (eg. the appropriate Wikipedia article) or ask for undeletion when such an article appears.
Note also, that it is irrelevant what other users like or dislike and discusing their preferences on-wiki, and especially here, is inappropriate. COM:AGF is still our policy, that should be applied unless your earlier interactions with the user deny good faith (but even so, UDR is not the right venue to discuss them). Ankry (talk) 11:44, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
@Ankry: The file not being used wasn't the only reason @P199: gave for deleting it, that wasn't what the deletion request was for, and no where did I say anything about the files scope in my un-deletion request. In the meantime, 99% of the files on Wikimedia Commons aren't currently being used anywhere. Especially logos. So I don't see how it's relevant to this. What is though, is that the file was deleted because it didn't have a description and it was done against consensus not to. If you can point a policy that says files can be deleted for not having descriptions or one that states admins can ignore votes in a deletion discussion by deleting a file that no one wants deleted, then I'd be happy to withdraw this. Otherwise, I'd like the file restored.
Also, it's a little weird that your telling me it's inappropriate to talk about someone's preferences in the same comment where you said "The logo was deleted due to scope doubts." If it's inappropriate for me to cite what @P199: literally said, then I assume you saying what their feelings are would be. Also, I'd love to know how that's not related to @P199: 's preferences. --Adamant1 (talk) 13:32, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
  • This logo is for one of their subsidiaries, Golden HD. Which I assume is Plus HD or one of it's other HD channels. I'm not really sure which though. I was actually planning on adding it to their Wikidata entry at some point once I figured it out, but the file should be restored regardless. --Adamant1 (talk) 14:19, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

This file was deleted as a result of this deletion request. It was subject to a separate undeletion request, where it was by accident omitted. This work is copyright 1921, 1926, and 1928. The 1921 copyright is irrelevant. The 1926 copyright was renewed, but has recently expired. The 1928 copyright, however, was not renewed, and thus expired after the 28-year term (well before the 1926 copyright). Thus, the 1921 and 1926 copyrights are PD-US-expired, and the 1928 copyright is PD-US-not renewed. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 17:44, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

Reason: deleted via Commons:Deletion requests/File:Duomo di Milano, dettaglio di un portale 1.jpg. However, its creators/authors are deceased (Franco Lombardi died in 1943, and Luciano Minguzzi in 2004), which means this image now passes the updated COM:FOP Italy (exception 1, a work by deceased authors, via a 2008 Italian parliamentary pronouncement). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 18:12, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

  •  Comment I often read on Commons there would be an Italian "FOP exception for deceased author". This seems to come from this 2008 ministerial response which does not say that. It merely says that a work by a living author is protected. Assuming that a work from an author deceased less than 70 years ago is unprotected seems to me to be an extrapolation. Or did I miss something? — Racconish💬 12:51, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
    • @Racconish: the entire discussion which resulted to the acceptance of new exceptions to no Italian FOP is found here. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 13:20, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
      • Thanks, it seems - if I understand correctly - the assumption of a "de facto" exception for deceased authors is yours. Nevermind which Wikipedian expressed it, the key point IMO is this is an extrapolation on the text of the ministerial response which does not explicitely say this. I read the minsisterial response as saying simply: if the author is alive, then his work is obviously preotected. It does not imply IMO that if the author is dead, his work is unprotected. Is there any reliable source on the matter? I would expect, if such a "de facto" exception exists since 2008, there should be some published sources on the matter. — Racconish💬 13:30, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
        @Racconish: that was not my assumption, but rather assumption of Italian Wikipedians who participated there. According to them, it is a common notion there that works are supposed to be freely photographable. Restrictions begin once the work becomes "public domain" (which means the likes of Colosseum and the Leaning Tower of Pisa cannot be reused freely without prior authorization from the Soprintendenza, so "unfree public domain works", of which {{Italy-MiBAC-disclaimer}} does the job). But for works of authors who died less than 70 years ago, these are supposedly freely photographable. I'm not sure if reliable sources exist. I already mentioned them here (see the ping here) yesterday (see the ping here). But nevertheless, I'll try to mention them again. @Ruthven, Blackcat, and Marco Chemello (WMIT): . JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 13:49, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
        Here is for example an article of a Swiss journalist on the vagueness of this ministerial response and the fact it is so poorly formulated it could be interpretated as contradicting the Italian law according to which architectural creations are protected for 70 years. On the other hand, this article published in 2018 by the Italian Wikimedia, says ther is no FOP for authors deceased less than 70 years ago and this article published in 2018 does not make any reference to a FOP for authors deceased less than 70 years ago. Same here in 2019 : No FOP for authors deceased less than 70 years ago. — Racconish💬 14:13, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
        @Racconish: in that case, I don't have to say anything more. It appears external sources are more authoritative. One is from Luca Spinelli, who was mentioned at en:Freedom of panorama#Italy. It is frustrating that these articles, as well as the ministerial response of 2008, have no English translation equivalents. I cannot read Italian language, unfortunately 🙁 I will wait for the responses of the involved Italian Wikipedians though. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 14:52, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
Sorry but we all were busy with WLM Italy. As said in the other page, there are no news till last discussion. It is possible that in the next months there will be some changes about the Italian copyright laws: in that case we will reopen the discussion. For now, the only pronunciation of an Italian government about panorama freedom is favorable for us. Other opinions are just... opinions. --Marco Chemello (WMIT) (talk) 07:03, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello there,

I'm new to Wikipedia and Wikimedia, so it's intricacies are somewhat challenging for me. I'm not intending to brake any rules here. But to clarify, I am one of Rainbow Grocery Cooperative's Marketing & Creative Strategists. I'm responsible for all public-facing representation of the store. As such, I realized that the Wiki page needed some updating. I'm not sure who had uploaded the old logo, but we no longer use it. Might someone be able to help me correctly label the logo file so it may be able to stay on the page? I'd also like to upload some old photos that are in our archive as well; how would you suggest these be labeled for copyright purposes? Thanks for all your assistance.

This was deleted as part of Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Subhadip ojha, but Andy Dingley did find a source which documented this photo was a U.S. Navy photo. I missed that he found an alternate source here, which gives fuller author information, so this one is {{PD-USGov-Military-Navy}} and OK to keep. I should have removed it from the DR but did not.

@Ankry: Thanks, done.

I am requesting for the undeletion of the file. I believe the deletion of the file was erroneous given that the copyright license was entered upon receiving a notification to provide the licence information. The file licence information was provided as PD-self as it was personally uploaded. 217.148.142.157 03:32, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

The photo comes from an external source that declares PD status with no clear PD rationale, so it is doubtful. The uploader claims that they can grant the PD status as the author. This is also doubtful as the photo seems to be about 100 years old. They were asked to resolve the doubts trough OTRS. Note, that anonymous photos, unpublished before 2003 become PD in US 120 years after creation, see Hirtle chart. Ankry (talk) 07:15, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello! I hope this is the right channel for this request. Artister för Miljön (Artists for the Environment) is a Swedish sustainability NGO that has been active since the earlu nineties. It originates from the Natural Step Framework and the members are Swedish artists wanting to use culture to drive sustainability. We recently made a Wikipedia site describing our organisation and the only illustration was our logotype that has been created by the fanmous Swedish artist Lasse Åberg who is a member of the association. Our entry was immediately nominatde for deletion by someone with the tag "Yger". We ask you to undeleta and we also want to report Yger for bad behaviour.

Best regards

Jan Peter Bergkvist Chairman, Artists for the Environment Sweden--Janpeterbergkvist2 (talk) 08:41, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi,
even if Lasse Åberg is member of your association, the copyright for his works is not automatically with you. This would require a contractual transfer of copyright. Therefore it was quite correct to nominate this image for deletion, especially as you claimed to be the author.
So, first you should clarify internally whether your association really owns the copyright (! not just the trademark) for this logo. If that is the case, then the association resp. it's legal representative should send from the association's official email addresse an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org confirming its copyright-holdership and intent to release it under the choosen free license. You might use the boxed template on Commons:E-postmallar.
If that is not the case, then Lasse Åberg himself needs to send his permission to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org and confirm the choosen free license. --Túrelio (talk) 09:07, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

This account is used by the Film Production Company "Rat Pack Filmproduktion GmbH" in Munich, Germany. We are therefore the copyright owners of the image file File:Mein Freund das Ekel.jpg which depicts the logo of the soon to be released TV show "Mein Freund, das Ekel" that is produced by our company.

Congress has hesitated on declaring PD-USGov works as PD worldwide (or at least did in 1976, even though such status had been assumed before that), plus the Bridgman ruling is technically just binding in the U.S.; a CC license would make clear those (theoretical and remote) possibilities.

Thanks Susan


I've taken a more detailed look at this now and we are fine to grant Wikipedia permission to use the image, and we don't need to double check with the photographer. We would be granting permission under creative commons CC by SA 4.0 not under public domain. We should supply the cropped lower res version though, only, as the bigger version doesn't fit with the Wikipedia site requirements. I think Karen needs to upload this herself though, as we don't have log ins to Wikipedia.


thanks again

@Atefeh.Zahra: But per Wikimedia Commons policies, you need to provide an evidence that a free license has been granted for the logo (copyright) and information where do you want to use it in Wikimedia (scope). Otherwise, the logo cannot be hosted in Wikimedia Commons. On-wiki ("own work") licensing is possible only for images that were never used anywhere prior to the upload. This in not the case. If the copyright holder does not want to grant a free license, that allows anybody to use the logo for any purpose, including commercial reuse (except when restricted by trademark law) ans to create its derivative works, then the logo also cannot be hosted here.

Hi! I tried to re-upload the logo (cropped and resized) for the page which I was creating. The logo was deleted according to the policy rules.

@Lisa Eclair: Hi, and welcome. I am sorry to inform you that you have triggered Special:AbuseFilter/153 by trying to cross-wiki upload a smaller (<50,000 bytes or <2,000,000 pixels) jpg logo as a new user while leaving the summary intact. The logo you tried to upload is smaller, and you indicated it's your own work. Usually when someone uploads a smaller logo, it's a copyright violation taken from the web. Please upload the full-size original of it per COM:HR, including EXIF metadata, but as-is it may be judged too complex to be under TOO in the country of origin, so you may need to post COM:L compliant permission for such works on your official website or social media presence or send permission via VRT. Also, any raster image will look jaggy when scaled up, so you may want to upload an svg version, too. If you can't get a compliant license, the logo may still be uploaded to English Wikipedia in compliance with en:WP:F because we don't allow Fair Use here. If you change the summary or use our Upload Wizard instead, you should be able to avoid that filter. — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 12:58, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Reason: Currencies of France are allowed on Commons per {{Money-FR}} A1Cafel (talk) 10:15, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

  • Comment: 1) The artwork of the pictured object is not free in the United States. Therefore the image cannot be on Commons. Whatever copyright status the artwork on the pictured object may have in other countries does not change its status in the United States and on Commons. The copyright in the United States disposes of the question. 2) The template Money-FR is misleading. The point of the court decision was that the copyright of banknotes was temporarily suspended during the time when those banknotes were the actual legal currency in use (which was the case in 1998 for francs, at the time of the facts at the origin of the case), specifically because they were the currency in legal use then. The decision did not say nor imply that the copyright did not exist or that the copyright was suspended forever. The copyright holder still held the copyright. Only, that copyright was suspended, unenforceable, during the time the banknotes in question were the legal mode of payment. The logical corollary should be that the copyright became enforceable when francs definitely ceased to be the legal currency (francs ceased to be the legal currency in 2002, could be exchanged for euros for ten years and became definitely void in 2012). Logically, the suspension should not apply to francs anymore. It ended when the francs ceased to be the legal currency. The designs of francs are protected in France as any other works until their copyright expires normally. -- Asclepias (talk) 19:23, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment: Hello. I'm by no way laws specialist so I won't argument about the point 1 comment from Asclepias above. About the point 2, for my understanding of the template {{Money-FR}} (which I discovered here - thx Ankry!) and the Court's decision, that last one was promulgated in February of 2002, so after the euro became the official currency. In that way I don't think the reasoning of point 2 above is correct and for me that decision is still in force. Again, no specialist, just a comment which may help decision. Sting (talk) 23:26, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi Sting, The facts, the actions performed, which the courts had to decide if they constituted a copyright infringement or not in 1998 at the time when they were performed, were performed in 1998, when the francs were the legal currency. That's even the essential point of the decision. After the case was judged by the court of initial jurisdiction, it eventually went through the steps of appeal, something that can take many years. The final step at the Cour de cassation was in 2002, but that doesn't change the situation that the facts of 1998 that were judged were judged in relation to the context that applied to them in 1998. Courts must judge the legality of the actions posed in 1998 in relation to the legal situation that existed when those actions were posed. They can't apply retroactively a new legal context of 2002 to past actions that were not forbidden when the actions were posed in 1998. That would be irrelevant and unjust. If it interests you, there is a summary of the case that I wrote almost 10 years ago there, with links to the decisions of the Cour d'appel (1999) and the Cour de Cassation. My comment then was a bit lengthy. The short paragraph above does just as well, for the essential. Aussi un court commentaire en français , avec des liens vers les articles de loi. -- Asclepias (talk) 00:22, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
@Asclepias: If you are right, the {{Money-FR}} template should be deleted. Ankry (talk) 09:00, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello,

I am making a new request, although the previous one was refused. After proofreading, I did not have enough arguments advanced since it was my first UR at the time.

Since this plate not been deleted and came as a replacement for my deleted picture, it is therefore considered acceptable by Commons. I formally request the undeletion of this picture.

The Kansas seal in the plate background was created in 1861, is here a stylized version and only the upper part is shown. It may fit PD but as I think it is a federal element and not being American, I don't know its legal status.

  2. File:Hector Macpherson - Herschel (1919).djvu (edit · last · history · watch · unwatch · global usage · logs · purge · w · search · links · DR · del · undel · Delinker log)

Reason:

File:Heralds of God.djvu was deleted by Billinghurst as a result of Commons:Deletion requests/File:Heralds of God.djvu. The nominator's (ShakespeareFan00) rationale was that the work is still in copyright in the UK, due to the UK pma.+70 copyright term and the author still being alive as late as 1990. However, in a discussion of the same work at English Wikisource research indicated that the work was published in the US within 30 days of the UK publication (which is also the most likely based on the nature of the work).

Hector Macpherson - Herschel (1919).djvu was deleted by Billinghurst as a result of Commons:Deletion requests/File:Hector Macpherson - Herschel (1919).djvu. The nominator's (ShakespeareFan00) rationale was that the work is still in copyright in the UK, due to the UK pma.+70 copyright term and the author's death in 1956. However, my research indicates that this is the first edition (1919 is the first publication found for this work), and it lists both UK and US publication info on its title page. The primary publisher is the UK-based "SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE", whose stated goal was to push Christian books both at home and in the British colonies, primarily in America (and later on in Scotland and India). In other words, absent any actual evidence to the contrary the most reasonable assumption is that this was a pre-1923 simultaneous UK+US publication and thus within policy for Commons.

Billinghurst and I discussed this briefly last year, but were unable to come to a firm conclusion due to uncertainty about how simultaneous publication interacts with Commons licensing policy (and because I was lame about following up on it). However, I did raise the issue at VP/C and the summary of that discussion is that when a work is simultaneously published (within 30 days) in two Berne convention countries, the "country of origin" is the country with the shortest effective term. Thus, legally, due to the Berne convention, both these works are US works for copyright purposes. Commons:Licensing#Interaction of US and non-US copyright law, which is designed to align with the rules of the Berne convention, requires "both the U.S. and the country of origin of the work" and after saying that's generally the country where it was first published, it adds "In cases where a work is simultaneously published in multiple countries, the "country of origin" is the country which grants the shortest term of copyright protection, per the Berne Convention." (in the footnote on the first para).

As US works under Berne, they are also explicitly ineligible for restoration under the URAA.

Herschel was published in 1919 and so its pub.+95 term expired at the end of 2014 so it is {{PD-US-expired|country=US}}); and Heralds of God was published in 1946, with copyright notice (US edition owned by w:Charles Scribner's Sons, a US publisher) but the copyright was not renewed (verified with a search of both the Stanford database and the scans of the Catalog of Copyright Entries for the years 1973–1975), so it is {{PD-US-not-renewed}}.

In other words, both these files should be undeleted.

PS. I would appreciate pings on replies since COM:DRV has a lot of changes that are hard to catch on the watchlist, and both these files have been evacuated to English Wikisource (where the policy always considers only US status) so the shadow files will need to be deleted there once they are undeleted here. --Xover (talk) 10:23, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

@Xover: The cases should be investigated separately, so rather need to be handled in separate sections.
  • Ad. 1. I tend to  Support. But pinging @Billinghurst and ShakespeareFan00: . Ankry (talk) 11:07, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Ad. 2.  Neutral as the colophon was sometimes not considered sufficient evidence. (This may be an evidence that the work was distributed in US, but why in 30 days?) Ankry (talk) 11:07, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
    @Ankry: When the work itself lists both US and UK as place of publication (i.e. the same physical books are to be sold in both places) the reasonable assumption is simultaneous publication (the publishers themselves are asserting it). In addition, as mentioned, the primary publisher here was the "Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge", whose mission it was to promote Christianity through distributing books in Britain's current and former colonies, particularly in America. In other words, there is less reason to think the first publication was in the UK (the secondary market) than in the US (the primary market). I've been unable to track down any positive evidence of when it went on sale in the US, but the first mention of it in the UK is in a review in The Guardian for December 19, 1919 (p.14), so there is barely time for it to have been published more than 30 days later and still be published in 1919. Given the date it is most likely that US publication happened either in December or even earlier. The US publisher is Macmillian, with whom the SFPCK entered into a partnership in 1918 (New-York Tribune, October 19, 1918. p. 6), and who are still their distribution partner. In other words, there is a theoretical possibility that the publication was more than 30 days later in the US (just barely), but absent specific evidence to the contrary the most reasonable assumption is simultaneous publication. Xover (talk) 13:27, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
    Ok, I still can't find a direct notice of publication in the US for Herschel. However, what I have eventually found is a capsule review in Popular Astronomy Vol. XXXVIII, No. 1 for January 1920 p. 136. It lists the work as being "Published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, London, and the Macmillan Company, New York." It also appears alongside a notice that Discovery, a new popular scientific journal, "… will be launched … in January 1920." (i.e. at the time of writing it is not yet January 1920. Given Popular Astronomy (which was published by the Goodsell Observatory at Carleton College in Minnesota) actually reviews it, it must have been in sale prior to that point. Given the lead time for publishing the journal issue (its headline article reports on events from May 1919) and writing the review, and the fact it was published in the UK on 19 December 1919, there is no way it could have been published in the US more than 30 days after the UK publication; and the highest likelihood is that it was published either actually simultaneously or before in the US.

The image was deleted after the Flickr source was changed to a restrictive license. It was previously available under CC-BY prior to October 2006. Considering that Creative Commons licenses are not revocable, this is not a valid reason for deletion. We now have {{Flickr-change-of-license}} for such situations.

The only issue is that the author stated that he did not like the idea that others could make money off the image without him getting paid. It's possible that the author didn't understand what a Creative Commons license meant at the time. Even assuming that's the case, I'm not sure if a courtesy deletion would apply as the image was in use for over a year. Ixfd64 (talk) 19:09, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

This is a photo of me that was taken by a photographer and shared with express permission to use for publicity. The linked page in the complaint is actually one where I previously shared the picture with them (ie, the Royal Institution does not own the picture).

Can you please release it?

Thanks,

Aoife --Aoifemcl (talk) 20:22, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

@Aoifemcl:
  1. does the photographer wish to be attributed as Aoifemcl? (we may need an evidence if they do) Attributing the photo author is one of license requirements
  2. a permission to use for publicity does not allow you to grant a free license and a free license is required in order to host the image here. If you have a copyright transfer contract with the photographer or a clause that allows relicensing there, then you need to provide a written free license permission together with the contract following VRT instructions. Otherwise, we need such a permission directly from the photographer.

On behalf of communication office of the university, the logo is the official one that we use therefore I had carried out the modification because the old circular one is no longer in use — Preceding unsigned comment added by WonderlandCat (talk • contribs) 12:15, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

@WonderlandCat: The logo was uploaded without licensing information. We cannot host copyrighted images without a free license granted by the copyight holder. Logos are not exception to this policy. Note, that some Wikipedias (eg. English Wikipedia) accept Fair Use logos uploaded locally to Wikipedia. If the logo copyright holder wishes to grant a free license, the right procedure is described here. Ankry (talk) 13:04, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Photographer has granted permission for non-commercial use on the internet. Thus, the image is also publicly available on https://steffenwick.com/biografie/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kakonone3 (talk • contribs) 10:11, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose Yes, it is publicly available with "© Steffen Wick 2021. Alle Rechte vorbehalten". Also, please read Commons:Licensing. Images on Commons must be free for any use anywhere by anybody. "[P]ermission for non-commercial use on the internet" is nowhere near sufficient as commercial use must be permitted as well as use in print or other non-internet media. .     Jim . . .

This image was captured by the chateau owner Dan Alexander who agrees to its copyright use on Wikipedia. Should there be a way to express this content more clearly, please direct us to the where credit issues are resolved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anutig (talk • contribs) 19:01, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

  1. a permission to use on Wikipedia is not valid here. Wikimedia Commons is not Wikipedia
  2. images made by third parties cannot be licensed on-wiki; we need to receive a free license from the copyright holder directly (or that is tracked to the copyright holder basing on [ublic records). If there is no free license at the source page (I cannot find any) the VRT procedure is the right path.

Also please note that the photographer's permission to "use on Wikipedia" is not sufficient for either Wikipedia or Commons. Images used in either place must be freely licensed for any use by anybody anywhere, including commercial use. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:55, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

The use of this photo is authorized by Bernard Fernandez, the party pictured in the photo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HistoryofJournalism (talk • contribs) 18:33, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose The subject of an image rarely has the right to freely license it as required here. That right is almost always held by the photographer. Although the uploader, User:HistoryofJournalism, claimed to be the actual photographer, I suspect that they made the digital copy but are not the original photographer. In order for the image to be restored, the actual photographer must provide a free license using VRT or the subject must provide written evidence that they have the right to freely license the image, also using VRT. .     Jim . . .

Reason: Was deleted as part of a Massive spam of fake flags but this specific file doesn't seem to have anything to do with fake flags. Pppery (talk) 17:52, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose That's perfectly true, but the user was blocked for repeatedly uploading more than 300 fake flags. Given that record, I don't think we should assume that this file is any more accurate or useful than the flags. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:37, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I am requesting for the undeletion of the image I had uploaded. I believe the image is freely available and is already in the public domain - available on the website of the school, and also has been uploaded to their Google Maps location. #REDIRECT[[32]] - found on school website, and also on Google Maps - https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Whitchurch+High+School/@51.5131638,-3.2228681,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipMJNUL2r_H-u_lXWeew3-AXaVhoXaLOgmioUxv9!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipMJNUL2r_H-u_lXWeew3-AXaVhoXaLOgmioUxv9%3Dw114-h86-k-no!7i2816!8i2112!4m5!3m4!1s0x486e1b9feb764c57:0x390272a7b35fb113!8m2!3d51.5130831!4d-3.2232265

I believe it complies with 'Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 4.0' and full credit goes towards Whitchurch High School, Penlline Road, Whitchurch, Cardiff, Wales. The image is used many times across the internet. The file was uploaded to provide an updated and better quality image for the Whitchurch High School Wikipedia page. The image has not been altered from the source which is - https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipMJNUL2r_H-u_lXWeew3-AXaVhoXaLOgmioUxv9=s0 . The image is not copyrighted to my knowledge and is freely in the public domain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UserJ6542 (talk • contribs) 00:57, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose Sorry, but you clearly do not understand the concept of public domain. You must have permission from the photographer if you wish to distribute this photo in any way. The photographer's permission is stated in a license which clarifies what others can do and not do. Please read Commons:First steps. Thuresson (talk) 01:55, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 Oppose First, "The image is not copyrighted" is incorrect. With few exceptions, all created works are copyrighted from the moment of creation until the expiration of the copyright which, in the UK, is 70 years after the death of the creator. Second, the fact that the image appears on the Web says nothing about its copyright status -- most images on the Web are copyrighted and not freely licensed. In fact, it appears without a free license on the school's own Web site https://www.whitchurchhs.wales/index.html.
In order for the image to be restored, either the actual photographer must send a free license using VRT or an authorized official of the school must send a free license together with written documentation showing that it has the right to freely license the image, also using VRT. .     Jim . . .
