Commons:Deletion requests/File:Photo of a burning tobacco barn, locations unknown. Photo was included with shots of Tobacco Border Belt Market Opens, Shown are scenes of the tobacco warehouses on opening day of the Border Belt (8514311144).jpg

The source at Flickr states that the photo was published in the Raleigh News & Observer on August 4th, 1948, and that it is still copyrighted. However, neither the photo nor the newspaper proper had their copyright renewed in 1975 to 1977. So this is {{PD-US-not-renewed}}. @Rosenzweig: FYI. De728631 (talk) 13:51, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

This one, amongst others is from the same source. Guess no need for deletion then. Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 15:31, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

@Rosenzweig: , sorry but am I missing something here? (puzzled) Lotje (talk) 15:57, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Only two were nominated for deletion, I didn't search for others. If it is positively determined in the course of this undeletion request that those images were not renewed, that text declaring them to be copyrighted should be removed from all of those uploads. --Rosenzweig τ 16:18, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you Rosenzweig, I'll leave that in your capable hands. Lotje (talk) 16:33, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

@Rosenzweig and Lotje: Thank you both. I started with checking the News & Observer category. Most of the files there seem to be out of copyright (not renewed or expired) but for the reference, I nominated a good lot of them for deletion too: Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:The News & Observer.

File:KV IIT Kharagpur main building.jpg

This image was a panoramic photo taken with Lumia 650 Dual Sim. It's an image of a school building of KV No. 1 IIT Kharagpur. It was taken during my farewell from my school on 22nd February 2019. So I request the undeletion of this image. I claim full copyright to this image. Thanking you Debjyoti Gorai (talk) 15:00, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

@Debjyoti Gorai: The problem is that your earlier uploads were either images copied from copyrighted sites where no evidence of free license was present or Own work claims for previously published images, which are both against policy. We apply COM:AGF to users who do not violate policy, especially do not fail to provide precise and correct information about copyright. So I think, you need to follow VRT process and convince VRT volunteers that you are indeed the photo author. Ankry (talk) 09:18, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

File:XXXTentacion by Jack McKain.jpg

File:Saddam and Rajavi.jpg

This file was deleted in this discussion: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Saddam and Rajavi.jpg.

I think it has the 3rd condition in Template:PD-Iraq ('It is a photographic or cinematic work that is not compositive (artistic in nature) first published before 1 January 1999'). This picture was taken from meeting of two politicians in 1980s in Iraq, so per [7] article 20 of Iraqi old law applies and in 1993 this picture was in public domain. So the current law (effective in 2004) could not extend copyright until 2038. Maybe this is the reason VOA (source of this file) says it is PD. HeminKurdistan (talk) 19:55, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

@Ellywa: can you, please, comment how the deletion rationale you provided related to the abovementioned clause in {{PD-Iraq}}? Ankry (talk) 21:57, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

• This deletion of the same image may be helpful. Ypatch (talk) 02:28, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

In both deletion discussions, there is no evidence of who the author or publisher is. Also there doesn't seem to be a verified date of actual publishing (why 3rd condition in Template:PD-Iraq does not apply since there isn't any evidence that the image was published before 1999) or permission to use it. Per policy, it is up to uploader to provide an evidence of the photo PD status, which has not been provided. Ypatch (talk) 02:42, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

The deletion discussion links to al-Jumhūrīyah, with a claim that it was published in that paper in 1987 (and elsewhere in 1988) and the deleting admin did not contest that. 1987 is before 1999; it seems the admin just didn't notice that the current law doesn't apply to images published at that time. –LPfi (talk) 07:22, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

A "claim" is not a substitute for evidence. In the first deletion of this image, the uploader had credited Shahab Mirzaei from BBC Persian as the author of the image, also with no evidence at all. We can make claims all day long, but policy requires evidence of the photo PD status. Ypatch (talk) 08:32, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

@Ankry: and others, answering your question. I did read Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Iraq and I did not see why this image - taken 1986 or 1987 - would be in PD. Under the old legislation from 1971 - valid until to 2004 - I did not find a rationale. Perhaps I misunderstood the sentence "Copyright in photographic and cinematographic works which only give automatic transfer of landscapes expired 5 years from the date of the first publication of the work.". I thought "automatic transfer of landscapes" was not the case in this photo - because it is a room. But in hindsight this sentence could be the basis for the statement in the template: "It is a photographic or cinematic work that is not compositive (artistic in nature) first published before 1 January 1999" (as the new law started in 2004 and 2004-5=1999). So if this is true, the image can be undeleted on basis of the law of 1971. I would advice to change the text of Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Iraq so the sentences read the same. But perhaps somebody fluent in the original language could first explain what "automatic transfer of landscapes" means (In arabic الصُّور الضوئِيَّة التي نشرت أول مرة قبل 1 يناير 1999، شرط أن تكون نقلاً للمناظر الطبيعية نقلاً آلياً.) I will try to find a village pump in Arabic. Ellywa (talk) 08:45, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

My question about the text can be found on Commons:الميدان#Copyright_Iraq Ellywa (talk) 09:07, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you Ellywa. That aside (as said before) evidence of publication needs to be provided by the uploader otherwise we're merely guessing date and place of publication. Ypatch (talk) 09:32, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Yes indeed. The oldest version I could find is from 2007, but I am certainly not an expert in searching. http://www.iran-ghalam.de/2Haupt/2132.yaddasht.30.11.07.HTM . HeminKurdistan said on the DR they found the photo in a 1987 printed newspaper. I have no reason to disbeleive that. Ellywa (talk) 10:41, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks Ellywa. The last claim by the uploader concerning this image proved to be false. If evidence hadn't been asked for we'd still have a false publisher and false author for this image live on Commons. My concern here is the integrity of the process. Understandably, policy requires evidence instead of just taking uploaders at their word. Ypatch (talk) 11:37, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Please let us keep assuming good faith. Remember the photo was published with a Public Domain tag of VOA. I checked that. We are questioning that imho. Ellywa (talk) 12:04, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

I think the older Iraqi copyright law was more on snapshot-like photos -- I have seen another translation as "mechanical transmission of scenery"; might be nice to have Arabic speakers give their opinion on what the original Arabic says (in article 20). But, only protecting snapshot-type photos for a shorter term was fairly common in older copyright laws (and still is part of many), so if it was a photo just capturing a public scene it could well fall under that old definition, and be PD today in Iraq due to that. Or, since the U.S. does not have any copyright relations with Iraq right now, maybe it is only PD in the U.S. due to that, which the VOA was relying on. If it was a foreign photographer though, the VOA could not make that public domain claim, so I would at least assume an Iraqi publication. I would tend to  Support, given this looks more like a snapshot type of photo from Iraq in the 1980s, so seems to fall under their older shorter-term photograph law. It would rest on the interpretation of that law though. The VOA declaration does seem to back that up a bit as well. The standard per COM:PRP is "significant doubt"; there can be theoretical doubts but we can still keep those. That can come down to a community decision of course. For me, I'm leaning that this fell under their shorter copyright terms at the time. Carl Lindberg (talk) 13:45, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

It seems to me that Ypatch is diverting this discussion. I did not upload File:Saddam Hussein..jpg and I don't know anything about it or its deletion (Commons:Deletion requests/File:Saddam Hussein..jpg). This is the second time that this user is making this false accusation against me, a few months ago the same user claimed that I "lied" ([8]) about that file and when I complained that I am not aware of it and that I am disappointed by this accusations to an admin, he said "I would not give much weight to what Ypatch said... the report seems to be politically motivated". ([9])

I expect an apology from Ypatch otherwise I would think that it is an intentional smear. Ypatch claims that VOA (source of File:Saddam and Rajavi.jpg) is wrong in saying that it is in public domain and I am also a liar so that this file should be deleted. OK, I no longer care about this file but I want to clarify my comment on its deletion page. My finding that it was published before 1999 was from this book that contains many documents and a copy of the front page of that Iraqi newspaper was one of them. So I did not access the newspaper itself, it was from a book that I found out about it. I regret that 3 months ago I did not take a picture or scan that part because I have no longer access to it. But from what I remember, it was a back and white and low resolution thumbnail from front page of that newspaper, which had this image. The date (19 February 1987) was not readable from thumbnail but came from image caption. I tend to believe that VOA (the source that this image is taken from) is professional and credible enough. As you can see in the source, there are pictures that have 'AP', 'AFP', 'Official website', etc. But this image that we are taling about is 'Public Domain'. ([10]) This is all I can say. HeminKurdistan (talk) 13:24, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Yes, File:Saddam Hussein..jpg is a totally different image, of course you cannot view it any more. Ellywa (talk) 13:41, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

I can't remember exactly what the File:Saddam Hussein..jpg file looked like, but I do remember it was about Rajavi and Hussein (in the same room?). I also remember that the copyright information was wrong, and here we also dont know who the author, publisher, or date of publishing was (despite VOA hosting the image). This has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with policy...Ypatch (talk) 15:51, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

If it was a snapshot with a shorter term and it got published, it is PD. The author and exact publication date should be included in the info if we can trace them, but deleting images for which there is no significant doubt about them being PD because of some information lacking is destructive; that's not what the precautionary principle requires. I don't see any reason for significant doubt (unless the law indeed covers only natural sceneries). –LPfi (talk) 08:58, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

You don't remember but you accuse me of uploading that file and "lying". HeminKurdistan (talk) 16:52, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

File:Record Shop(Inside).jpg

Initially deleted because the uploader claimed the copyright under a CC license, the proper license would be "PD-US-no notice" or "PD-US-not renewed". The image was made public per Commons:Publication when the negative was copied to a print and sent to the sitter, where it became part of this family's archive, the uploader is the granddaughter of the sitter. The image has no copyright notice and an image of this description does not appear in either the copyright registration database or the renewal database. See: Category:Bain copyright notice for example of a legally binding copyright symbol. --RAN (talk) 19:19, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

@Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ): Per my knowledge, publication means making available to the public (anybody who want to see it), not to a limited group of people (family in this case). If there is a consensus about your interpretation of this legal term, please point it more precisely. I doubt the photo album with this photo was available in a public library or a similar place where anybody can come and see it. Ankry (talk) 08:53, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

• You are incorrect. You are referring to the family of the sitter, in this case, viewing the image, while Commons:Publication and the Berne agreement refers to the family of the photographer viewing the image. The quote is about the creator, not the person posing for the image: "persons outside of a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances is gathered". --RAN (talk) 16:05, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

 Oppose In the context of the public performance or display of a work, s:United States Code/Title 17/Chapter 1/Section 101 uses the words "a substantial number of persons outside of a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances" as being equal to "the public" (full quote: "To perform or display a work ‘‘publicly’’ means—(1) to perform or display it at a place open to the public or at any place where a substantial number of persons outside of a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances is gathered [...]") So by US definition, a photographic print sent to a paying customer is not publication ("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") because a customer is not "a substantial number of persons outside of a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances". --Rosenzweig τ 16:12, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Per Carl Lindberg's comment at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Minerva Kohlhepp Teichert 1908.jpg (and not per Commons:Publication, because there is nothing about this there), it seems that because the current US definition of publication was introduced in 1976 (and became effective in 1978), older US works (before 1978) might be considered published when sold to a customer accd. to Common Law based US court decisions. If they were sold without a notice (likely), PD-US-no-notice would fit. This image is from no later than 1958 (because the person shown died in that year), so we could have one of those cases. --Rosenzweig τ 17:41, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

@4TheLuvOfFax: Commons doesn't accept fair use content of any type as explained in COM:FAIR. My guess is that those other files you're referring to were uploaded locally to English Wikipedia as non-free content, and were not uploaded to Commons. So, unless you're the copyright holder of this particular file, Commons can't keep this file without the COM:CONSENT of its copyright holder. Pretty much all of the album and song covers you see used in Wikipedia articles are uploaded as non-free content. Most likely this particular file could be uploaded as non-free content as well. If you're not sure how to do that, you can ask for assistance at en:Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Songs and someone there should be able to help you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:10, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

File:Kooroshghorbani.jpg

Hi, I uploaded this file to use in a article. its biography article which is reviewing by the manager right now. I notice the photo is deleted so I started to search about the reasons. I think its deleted because of not having license. I uploaded this photo on my flicker account months before and I learned to change the copy right (all rights reserved) to (copyright free). with this change that I made I want this photo back please. and the article will be reviewed by manager so if he decides that its unnesasary they will remove it.

I saw most of the biographies does have the photo and I think reading an article that contains photo is much more attractive for everyone.

I also have few other photos that are nominated for deletion because I didn't know about the license and how to prove, still I have serious question and I hope wiki media don't see me as a person who violent the copy right rules. I try my best to learn as soon as possible and don't messed up.

Thanks you in advance for helping me best regards

Neginghaderii (talk) 09:20, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

@Neginghaderii: Which article do you wish to use the photo in? And note, that for photos already published elsewhere without a free license, the VRT procedure is needed. Ankry (talk) 08:22, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi, Thank you so much for reply and helping me figure it out.

about the photo, I personally took it, I usually go to motorsport races and photography there not as a job, for free for my interest. I also know most of the riders like the one in the picture. in this case photo is taken by me and if the rider used it some where I can tell him to give me the permission or even delete it (if it will solve the problem), but I prefer do not ask to people to delete the photos that were taken by me.

about the VTR, I have no idea what is it.

I just need to figure out how to publish photos and attach the license because if I learn I have many photos even not just in case of sport which I think can help the image source of wiki media to be bigger and up date with good quality photos.

the article that I used this photo as a main photo (portrait) in it:

https://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%BE%DB%8C%D8%B4%E2%80%8C%D9%86%D9%88%DB%8C%D8%B3:%DA%A9%D9%88%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%B4_%D9%82%D8%B1%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%86%DB%8C

Thanks in advance Neginghaderii (talk) 15:05, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

@Neginghaderii: I just noticed the deletion reason as it was not scope related: the deleting admin raised doubts whether you are the photographer as you claim. You may need to contact VRT providing a written free license via email together with an evidence of your authorship (eg. providing them the original photo version with complete camera settings info in EXIF). Ankry (talk) 21:15, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for reply, Yes I have the information of camera and photo, How can I connect VRT? I checked this page, but still I don't know where should I send this information? I mean wikipedia should give me a chance to prove if I couldn't prove that I am the photographer yes, delete the photo even restrict my account, but I want to give the photos information, who should I send the information?

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Fleur-de-farine

File:Smolny Institute, dance lesson2.jpg

The photo was done before the Revolution, no copyright (PD-Russian Empire). Moreover this file was nominated and deleted by same person, Sealle who has been blocked for sockpuppetry afterwards and chased me in ruwiki. --Fleur-de-farine (talk) 22:46, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

•  Support I agree with the lack of procedure here where a sock of Sealle created Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Fleur-de-farine. It should be revisited thoroughly if not mass-undeleted. The only problem for this particular image, however, is that there was no proper source mentioned. You merely wrote "internet" there without a link. On the other hand, the Smolny Institute where this ballroom dancing was taught existed only before the Russian Revolution, so the image must be from the imperial days. {{PD-Russian Empire}}.

@Fleur-de-farine: coming across your request for undeletion, I was wondering if this is the building you are referring to. Also, Category:Памятники в охранных зонах Курортного района Санкт-Петербурга should, imo be in English. Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 13:49, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello! As far as I know, Kschessinskaya had only one summer house outside Saint Petersburg, so it should be the same building probably. As for category, the proper name is Cultural heritage monuments in protected areas of Kurortny District. --Fleur-de-farine (talk) 14:39, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Yann, before uploading I had these files in a cloud and didn’t keep in mind where did I find them. Had no idea it could be important for quite old pictures. And now I can't do a search because don't have any access to deleted files. Actually I hardly remember what kind of images they are, just guessing from titles.)) So really can't do it unfortunately.

I am a well-known professor of philosophy specializing in Argumentation Theoryas well as gender theory. Someone I know tried to post an entry for me several times. For some reason, it has never been posted, and now it seems it has been deleted. If you look at Academia.edu you will see that I have several hundred citations. The file is also available as MAG D5 Bio wiki.docx. As students around the world are interested in my work, I would like them to have access to some wiki information.

@Gilbert1111: The purpose of Wikimedia Commons is to host multimedia files such as images, audio, and video. In general we do not host text files such as CVs; text belongs on other Wikimedia projects such as Wikipedia. If you meet our notability guidelines for academics, you may be eligible for a Wikipedia article, but it is recommended that you let other people create one for you because it is hard to write about yourself in a neutral way. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:53, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi Gilbert1111. Just going to add that Wikipedia pretty much has no interest in something helping you with things such as As students around the world are interested in my work, I would like them to have access to some wiki information. since Wikipedia articles aren't really intended to serve such purposes. If that's what you're primarily looking for when it comes to Wikipedia, then perhaps that are other better ways to help you accomplish that. A Wikipedia article can be written about you if you meet the above-mentioned notability guidelines for academics, but you will have pretty much zero control over any such article and won't be able to use it to "promote" or otherwise "spread the word" about your work in any way. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:56, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Then I have a question in relation to some of the other deletions. Can photos from Indonesia which older then 100 years also be undeleted? My rationale for this is that in Indonesia photos become PD 50 years pma, versus 70 years pma in many other countries. Thanks, Ellywa (talk) 21:47, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

In US photos of unknown authors become PD 120 years after creation regardless of copyright protection period length in the country of origin. This should also be taken into account. Ankry (talk) 22:57, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Noted Deleted per Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Areshka, but I do not see all files on that list. Partly deleted at the time on request of uploader. Ellywa (talk) 09:07, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Yes, tats way I'm surprised because of mentioned files were not included in the Deletion requests/Files and my uploads list is empty.

Should I upload them once again or there is a way to recover all of them (8 pictures total)? With a lot of thanks, I'm Looking forward to getting positive feedback. Areshka (talk) 15:42, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Areshka , can you please explain who took this pictures? And who made the drawing of the church building? We need this information for reasons of copyright. They can be recovered so please do not upload again. Ellywa (talk) 21:25, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Ellywa thank you for the question. The pictures were taken by me to complete my own work on Wikipedia (Armenian language). The drawing of the church was made by my nephew. He pass away 10 months ago and I creit a page on Wikipedia (Armenian) in honor of him as a public person. I used his personal archive.

You can find more information on his page Դավիթ Պետրոսյան (ճարտարապետ, մշակութաբան)

Thank you for understanding and let me know if there is required any action from my side. Areshka (talk) 19:21, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi@Ellywa, hope you are doing well. One week has passed since my kind request to recover selected/mentioned pictures in the conversation above. Is there any news? Do I need to make some changes to the description or else? Your positive feedback is appreciated. Areshka (talk) 17:05, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

 Comment Those files were included in the original deletion request by User:Gbawden, see [11], before User:Areshka removed them (and introduced a lot of clutter with sub-headings along the way). I asked the deciding admin User:IronGargoyle a week ago to have a look at them, and he deleted them. --Rosenzweig τ 21:42, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

The pictures I select for recovering were not include to the deletion list ( 06:53, 14 February 2022 (UTC)) and I never request remove them.

I believe the pictures I kindly request to restore were removed by mistake.

Thank you for supporting Areshka (talk) 19:24, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

They were nominated for deletion by another user. You seem to think that you can choose which of those actually get deleted and which not, but that is not the case. Please inform yourself about the deletion process at Commons:Deletion requests. Thank you. Regards --Rosenzweig τ 19:48, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

The photos are partly black and white, partly scans from other printed material and drawings - one as uploader writes made by a nephew (in that case VRT permission is required). All uploaded without mentioning the source and without EXIF data. Until Areshka clearly mentions the source of each image, they cannot be undeleted. Ellywa (talk) 10:48, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the comments, just let me know what does it means "clearly mentions the source of each image" and where I need to mention it. Do I need to upload the again and mention the source to each of them? I kindly remind you that all of them are from the personal archive. Areshka (talk) 16:19, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

you can mention them here per file. "Personal archive" is not sufficient. To consider the copyright the original source is needed. For instance "book title, name author, birth year an possible death year, publication date, country of origin. Or name photographer, birth year and death year, location, publication date and country. Please read the help pages from the welcome message on your talk page. Regards, Ellywa (talk) 13:29, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

File:ZSU-37-2 Yenisei.jpg

Deleted without a valid reason, the given deletion reason was thoroughly debunked in the deletion request for the image (several times over as you can see). Not to mention that the original reason for the deletion request had been fixed long before it was closed, it instead was hijacked to arguing a different licensing issue entirely. Deletion in fact only occurred after I asked the [admin] who had commented in the thread the reason why the deletion request was still active (once on the request itself, which went unanswered, then again on his personal page several days later) despite there being no further evidence being provided that proved the image in question had any further issues. Also note that the deletion request was originally closed before with the verdict of keep due to coming to the uncontroversial conclusion that Russian Law either did not grant any copyright protection to the file and/or explicitly placed it in the public domain. It was only reopened after another user personally contacted the referenced admin asking to reopen it, which I can't imagine any valid reason to do considering the circumstances. The following is the explanation that details the licensing status of the file as given in the deletion request, see the last three-four responses in the referenced deletion request thread for their counterpoints and my refutations to those points which came to an ultimately uncontroversial conclusion as per Russian Law.

"As I've said over two separate times now, this image was created as a part of an official Soviet government document, which is covered by the below exception article {{PD-RU-exempt}}). By the literal word of the law this image is not an object of copyright, I cannot understand how there is anything else left to say on the matter.

And even if this exception did not exist/did not apply to this image it would still not be afforded any protection under Russian copyright law. That's because the actual author of the image (the person who took the picture) was an anonymous employee of the Soviet government and it was never actually published. As a result, the holder of this image's right of attribution would be unknown or defaulted to the organization who authored the report (the Soviet MoD, a defunct organization who's legal successor has little interest in copyright litigation on archival material). But, since this image wasn't actually published and is instead material from archival internal government documents, there is even less grounds to apply any copyright protection to it since there are no laws covering works of this kind in the Russian Federation (except of course the above exception in Article 1259, which explicitly places works such as this in the public domain)."Sxbbetyy (talk) 19:35, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

• @EugeneZelenko: FYI. Ankry (talk) 14:46, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

  User was explained several times simple fact that photos are not covered by {{PD-RU-exempt}}. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:50, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

  "User was explained several times simple fact that photos are not covered by {{PD-RU-exempt}}." At this point you're just distorting what actually occurred to those who don't have the proper context, anyone can read the deletion request thread and see that all you did was repeat the same blanket, incorrect statement (without even the most basic attempt at supporting it with actual evidence). I've cited the relevant laws to you (multiple times) and gone into detailed explanations that you outright ignored, so at this point I don't see any real reason to continue debating this point with you as it seems like you came into this topic with a determination already in mind, with no intention on changing it.

  And I apologize if you really are trying to explain your position and there's just some sort of difficulty in communicating it on your end, but from what you've said thus far that's the message I'm getting (that you don't really care to explain your position and believe I'm wrong regardless of what's said, even if it directly counters your point or that you didn't care to properly explain and just wanted to conclude the issue as quickly a possible without getting into a conversation on the topic to begin with). Regardless that's why I'm posting here, to get help from another admin who can come to a proper conclusion and either: give an explanation as to why I'm incorrect or restore the file pursuant to what I've already detailed. Sxbbetyy (talk) 15:49, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

@Mosbatho: FYI. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 18:13, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

I don't see what that person has to contribute to this as they're not an admin and know even less on this topic than you seem to. I say this as they contacted you specifically seeking help to counter what I said, as they did not know what to respond with. All of this can be seen in their responses on the deletion request thread and in their appeal for help on Eugene's talk page, unfortunately for him Eugene seemed to offer little additional help in this matter (beyond of course his admin powers allowing him to enforce their viewpoint and delete the file regardless). Sxbbetyy (talk) 18:37, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

In order to say it again: {{PD-RU-exempt}} cannot be used for photographs. Sxbbetyy is on a mission. I am out. --Mosbatho (talk) 23:10, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Man I was completely wrong, that was a really productive statement right there. Totally wasn't just the exact same thing that was just said by Eugene, not even two messages ago on this very page (let alone every other time).

But in all seriousness what even is the point in repeating this again? Like seriously every time you repeat the exact same answer when asked to explain said answer, you just make yourself look like you have no idea what you're talking about. Sxbbetyy (talk) 04:06, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

File:Logo_de_la_Cervecería_Moctezuma.png

They argue that the Logo is trivial, but it was used by Cerveceria Moctezuma from 1896 until the 1990s when the company was merged with the Cuauhtemoc-Moctezuma corporate. In the links that I attach you will find that the Logo is used in the brewery museum, which was eliminated indiscriminately without consulting the history of the company.

Hi, I would love to undelete this photo, as it's my own Work. This photo was taken by me at the Nena Concert on the 18th of March 2022 in Strasbourg, and I used this photo specifically cause I knew I wouldn't have any Copyright problems as it's my own Work. Thanks --Randomgxrl (talk) 11:05, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

As you claimed that for all your uploads, that were clear and unambiguous copyvios, why should we trust you with this picture? Looks like any other of your stolen pics from somewhere in the net. Grüße vom Sänger ♫ ^(talk) 13:05, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

@Randomgxrl: , many of your uploads have been deleted. The file you mention on top is obviously not created in 2022 but possibly 2019. It is copied from this professional photo on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxu_w4toPM8/?hl=de. Can you please indicate which photo was made by yourself in Strasbourg? The 3 photos from 2022 were deleted by User:Rosenzweig because they were copyright violations. Ellywa (talk) 13:07, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

They uploaded File:Nena 2020.jpg again as well, that looks a wee bit like a selfie by Nena, but could be as well really one of the uploader from a 2020 concert. This time they inserted a copyright sign in there at the top. It was as well deleted before. Grüße vom Sänger ♫ ^(talk) 13:25, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

It is not the same file though, it is the file that was deleted as File:Nena in 2020.jpg. Looks like a cropped screenshot from a video to me. --Rosenzweig τ 14:22, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to know why a screenshot would not be allowed? I can understand for some of them, but in this case, the Video was taken by Nena herself, so why not allow me to post a screenshot of this Video? I don't think Nena would blame me at all... thanks for your reply Randomgxrl (talk) 15:30, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Because the copyright is owned by the author, and in that case that is Nena, not you. It's not about "would not mind", it's about free content. This means either you own the copyright and can release an image (or another media file like a video) under a free license, or someone else did release an image under a free license, or the image is so old that the copyrights have expired. Please read Commons:Project scope and Commons:Licensing if you haven't already done so. --Rosenzweig τ 16:44, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

File:Larissa Kerner 2022.jpg had that date in the image description, so the user probably means that one. Though I have a hard time believing these claims after deleting a whole bunch of clear copyvios uploaded by that user. --Rosenzweig τ 13:13, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

i did mean this photo actually and not the 2019, sorry for the confusion. This photo was taken by me but if you need any proofs could you maybe tell me how to prove it to you? Randomgxrl (talk) 15:24, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

How about uploading the full, unedited, full-size photo with Exif data? That should be considerably larger than the rather small file (55 kB) that was uploaded previously. Even compact cameras and cell phones produce photos with a size of several MB and dimensions of 3000 x 4000 pixels or larger. --Rosenzweig τ 17:37, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

File:Koorosh Ghorbani childhood.jpg

Hi, I uploaded this file to use in a article. its biography article which is reviewing by the manager right now. I notice the photo is deleted so I started to search about the reasons. I think its deleted because of not having license. I uploaded this photo on my flicker account months before and I learned to change the copy right (all rights reserved) to (copyright free). with this change that I made I want this photo back please. and the article will be reviewed by manager so if he decides that its unnesasary they will remove it. I saw most of the biographies does have the photo and I think reading an article that contains photo is much more attractive for everyone. I also have few other photos that are nominated for deletion because I didn't know about the license and how to prove, still I have serious question and I hope wiki media don't see me as a person who violent the copy right rules. I try my best to learn as soon as possible and don't messed up. Thanks you in advance for helping me best regards

https://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/پیش%E2%80%8Cنویس:کوروش_قربانی

this is the article which has some problems because I'm almost new user and try to learn and write more, but we are figure it out and make it correct based on wikipedia rules. I wrote for the manager to read it and accept it if the problem is solved.

I hope that I solve copyright problem, too. if wikipedia needs a license please tell me how can I attach that and where I should look for, in the camera options or in the flicker which I uploaded it or I don't know anywhere.

Thank you in advance Neginghaderii (talk) 14:55, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

@Neginghaderii: So you only need to provide an evidence to VRT that you are the original photographer of this non-digital photo as it was requested in the DR. Ankry (talk) 11:15, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Yes, But how?

If I learn I can upload couple of photos which they are kinda rare, from motorsport riders, bikes. most of the files that are being used now its so very old. I mean the bikes is not like that anymore or even clothing its improved, they really needs to be up to date. thanks in advance Neginghaderii (talk) 16:50, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

If you are the photographer who made the old photos, you likely have negatives. And it is up to you how will you prove the authorship. If you are not, the photographer should contact VRT. If the photographer is unknown, we can do nothing until copyright expires (in US 95 years after publication or 120 years after making the photo). Ankry (talk) 17:38, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

• File:Mário Novais, António de Oliveira Salazar (1959).jpg
• File:Américo Thomaz.png
• File:Gertrudes Thomaz.jpg

Although this user has laundered licenses for the vast majority of his photographs, as well as added false claims of file reviews from other reviewers, treated to remove deletion requests and no permission marks and –in a more personal case– he has said that he was going to report me, the truth is that these four photographs are in the public domain in Portugal and in the United States according to the PD-Portugal-URAA template.

In addition, I've myself reviewed three of those photographs –the one of Salazar in black and white already presented the complete information when I saw it–, and they were taken, according to information from the sources of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, by Portuguese photographer Mário Novais, deceased in 1967.

 Question Were they published before March 1989? If no, URAA does not apply and they may be copyrighted in US if their author(s) died less than 70 years ago. Ankry (talk) 18:28, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

For File:Mário Novais, António de Oliveira Salazar (1959).jpg, it's dated in 1959. Something that applies also to File:Salazar 10.png which is a colored version from the same photo session. For File:Américo Thomaz.png and File:Gertrudes Thomaz.jpg, both files come from the same archive from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. here is one of the other files alvailable in the same archive, uploaded by @RAN and, in the soruce from which this image comes, it is dated circa 1960. According with RAN's comment in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Américo Thomaz.png, "images prior to 1970 were not eligible for copyright so they do not fall into the URAA loophole". 83.61.234.200 18:19, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

@Ankry: Yes, it's prior to 1989 because in Flickr there is a credit to those files:

• File:Américo Thomaz.png - here
• File:Mário Novais, António de Oliveira Salazar (1959).jpg - here
• File:Gertrudes Thomaz.jpg - here.

This credit says in Portuguese: "Fotógrafo: Mário Novais (1899-1967). Produzida durante a actividade do Estúdio Mário Novais: 1925-1985." (Photographer: Mário Novais. Produced during the activity of the Novais Study (1925-85).)
83.61.234.200 21:51, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

The question is not when were the images taken, it is when were they first published. That is not the same thing. --Rosenzweig τ 16:17, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

According with the article of Mário Novais in portuguese, his photographs were adquired by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and transferred to its archive in 1985, this is, prior to 1989.

File:1920 - before the storm.jpg

IIRC this file had an OTRS permission and/or was uploaded by the creator. I am 100% sure I personally corresponded with the artist, who agreed to do this, and I am 95% sure I remember seeing either the OTRS permission or his name as the uploader in that file. I see the same fate also met File:Jakub Różalski.jpg and File:Jakub Rozalski.jpg which I also believe to have been uploaded by the author (selfies, IIRC). PS. The artist wiki account is User:JRozalski. He uploaded the image himself, correctly described it as his, correctly released the rights (used the free license), and in the description noted it's his artwork: "Before the storm is one on the most characteristic painting in the style and aesthetic of my 1920+ world.". Please undelete all affected images and revert Commons Delinker who removed the image(s) from various Wikipedia articles.

File:New moon. Snapshot RVB.jpg

Thank you so much.

File:New moon. Snapshot RVB.jpg

Description English: MOON: ASH LIGHT.

This is a phenomenon that takes place a few times a year.

The Moon sporting an earthshine on Friday February 4 twilight.

Earthshine is considered one of the most beautiful astronomical phenomena, and was first explained at the beginning of the 16th century by Leonardo da Vinci.

There was a request to delete my file so I wanted to let it known that this area was extremely thin at the time of filming. https://mobile.twitter.com/veronicaindream/status/1489753723597381632

I thought it was good to share this file precisely because of this.

This is pretty great data (from a ongoing project since 2018) so I don't think I posted anything useless.

This file contains a series of knowledge. Besides, in the PDF on my web space, we see a galactic view of the crescent and how thin it is at that moment.

To obtain the crescent like that and the moon a little visible, therefore the phenomenon, it was not easy. In addition without a tripod.

Optical illusion. (Astronomy)

This snippet shows a light portion very different from what is seen from the ground at the time.

So this is an image that demonstrates two phenomenons, an ash light and, the astronomical optical illusion (which is wide in terms of phenomenons, but here is one.

File:Степаненко Олександр Данилович.jpg

The photo that now is posted in the biography of Stepanenko Oleksandr Danilovich is not his. The photo shows a person who has nothing to do with Oleksandr Danilovich Stepanenko. So I uploaded his real photo. I am his relative. Stepanenko Oleksandr Danilovich died a long time ago. I scanned his photo and uploaded it. What else do you need to have real photos of my relative on your resource. Now the photo of my grandfather shows some unknown person. Please undelete the photo of my grandfather, so I can set it in his biography. Now it looks like a desecration of my dead grandfather. On his page is a photo of another person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrii13 (talk • contribs) 08:33, 13 August 2022‎ (UTC)

 Oppose File:Степаненко Александр Данилович.jpg and File:Степаненко Олександр Данилович.jpg. is the same photo, uploaded by different users with different copyright claims.

@Andrii13: The copyright is owned by the photographer. So we need a permission via COM:VRT from the copyright holder. Thanks, Yann (talk) 08:11, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

I don't understand. What copyright?

I have the wrong photo of some unknown person on the page of my relative:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/11LZD1HO1gT5kd2WVRo9tFhhqbMtSo-EP/view?usp=sharing

I also have the correct photo of my relative, that i made myself from his archive pictures:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/11Mjm20vkX07YKCeWtJA6dd6V-N0PR6Hi/view?usp=sharing

I want to set correct photo to the page of my relative.

No-one can have copyright to my photo, because i made it myself.

File:Russian Olympic Committee flag.svg

Per User:Primefac's comment:

Opposed to this because it (and the Paralympic variant) were vetted more than a year ago and some of most on-top-of-it Commons admins (some of which I consider friends) have tacitly cleared it for use (and I should know, I've been dinged a few times now for not-quite-free flag files in the past). In other words, the licensing information is accurate. Primefac (talk) 07:57, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Pinging @Ellywa and ShinePhantom: File:Russian Paralympic Committee flag (2021).svg should also be kept for the same reason. Tholme (talk) 14:39, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

 Oppose The Template:PD-RU-exempt listed on the file page is not applicable for this flag. It is valid for "State symbols and signs (flags, emblems, orders, any forms of money, and the like), as well as symbols and signs of municipal formations". This flag is not of the State of Russia. Therefore it cannot be maintained on Commons imho and I deleted it per Commons:Deletion requests/File:Russian Olympic Committee flag.svg. I am still seeing no evidence why this flag is in PD.

The reason stated by User:Well-Informed Optimist for deletion was «Exact or scaled-down duplicate (F8)», which in my opinion, is not correct since the new file is a modern drawing (reconctruction) while the deleted one is a photo of the original emblem.

Two Flickr PDMark owner images from Premsa Liceu

• File:4726- 023 -® A Bofill (25438811316).jpg
• File:4726- 008 -® A Bofill (25464967025).jpg

were both deleted back in 2016, before we had Template:PDMark-owner. They're images of ballet and/or opera dancers from the Liceu, a respected opera house, just under 200 years old, so seem to be exactly what PDMark-owner is intended for. Thank you! --GRuban (talk) 14:07, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

 Oppose {{PDMark-owner}} applies when the photo originates from the photographer's Flickr stream. Premsa Liceu is not the photographer and we have no evidence that they are the copyright holder. Ankry (talk) 12:35, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Don't see the word photographer anywhere on the template; it says "copyright holder" in the text and "owner" in the title. These are photos of the dancers performing for the Liceu, which is an organization. They own the rights to these photos and are releasing them. This is what the template is for. --GRuban (talk) 00:37, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

For what it is worth, both of these photos on Flickr (25438811316, 25464967025) indicate in their subtitles that the photographer is A Bofill. This is almost certainly Barcellona photographer Antoni Bofill, who is credited online with many photos from Gran Teatre del Liceu. However, I don't know the rights relationship between him and Liceu. —RP88 (talk) 01:18, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Aha! https://operafashion.blog/2020/08/04/bofill/ "... Antoni and Toni Bofill, two generations of legendary visual artist, official photographers at the Gran Teatre del Liceu since 1977.

"Since 1977 you are official photographers of the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona. How did the collaboration with one of the greatest opera houses in the world start?

Father-It happened so fast, because Gran Teatre del Liceu was looking for a photographer, and the laboratory I was working with (for photo development) knew that I worked in theater, dance, etc., so they told me about Liceu’s request. I contacted the theater (those years it was a private theater managed by the impresario Joan Antoni Pamias): Liceu offered me a first assignment for the opera “L’Africana” sung by my beloved Montserrat Caballé and Plácido Domingo!!! From that moment on, they took me for covering Liceu’s photographic needs." --GRuban (talk) 14:05, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

 Support In this case I think we can work with PDMark-owner since it is clear now that Bofill is closely cooperating with Premsa Liceu. De728631 (talk) 15:19, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Good day!

I am Angeli Carlos, the commissioned web designer of Atty. Saul Hofileña Jr, the owner of the book cover images I am requesting for undeletion.

I am tasked to make a biography page for him (draft under approval) and he wished these images to be tagged on his page. You may view his website at [14] for verification of these images.

Thank you very much! — Preceding unsigned comment added by AC 1987 (talk • contribs) 11:34, 17 August 2022 (UTC) (UTC)

File:Gif-version.gif

Hello. This media is part of an astract named The 21st century: ideologies, fears, unmet needs (Socrastic message)

In Eupalinos or the Architect: Paul Valéry stages a dialogue between Socrates and Phèdre in the realm of shadows. He uses the form of Socratic dialogue to revisit the Platonic concepts of mimesis, reality (or reality), or the effects of writing.

He thus puts back on the agenda this form of philosophical practice increasingly used from the 1970s, in particular by Gerd Achenbach, Michel Tozzi and Michel Weber.

The Socratic dialogue is also widely used in psychotherapy techniques, such as schema therapy.

More is coming by the next months.

File:Nnamdi Azikiwe PC.jpg

The file depicts the first president of Nigeria Dr Nnamdi Ben Azikiwe.

I hereby request undeletion of this file for the following reasons: 1. The image is an official photograph and there are no copyright liabilities or obligations in the United States. 2. The image has attained a level of use which is deemed as overly public, having been published several times and hung in government offices in official capacity in Nigeria and around the world. 3. The subject of the image has been deceased since 11 May 1996.

--Wordboss58 (talk) 10:53, 15 August 2022 (UTC) Wordboss 15.08.2022

•  Oppose I'm afraid, but none of these points are valid when it comes to Nigerian copyright.
  1. Even government works from Nigeria have a copyright term of 70 years after the first publication. This photo was allegedly created in 1963, so it cannot have been published more than 70 years ago. Also, Nigeria is a member of the Berne Convention which means that there are mutual copyright relations with the United States.
  2. Public availability does not make a work public domain. It would have to be transferred by the copyright holder which is apparently not the case here.
  3. The lifetime of the subject of a photograph is irrelevant because copyright is usually held by the photographer.

Per {{PD-Nigeria}}, the copyright protection for photographs expires 50 years after their first publication. Since this is an official portrait, we could assume that it is now public domain in Nigeria. However, it was not yet public domain in 1996, so it was retroactively copyrighted in the US by the URAA agreement. De728631 (talk) 12:33, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

We have had several cases where URAA didn't apply for government works. Yann (talk) 15:57, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Those might have been cases of {{PD-US-EdictGov}}, but I don't think photographs of any provenance would by exempt from URAA. De728631 (talk) 14:58, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Law doesn't change because of the medium, but because of the copyright owner. I don't see any reason why photographs of which the copyright is owned by the government would be a different case than other types of works. Yann (talk) 10:19, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

When a foreign government does not have a general copyright exemption for its works (like Nigeria), URAA will treat those works like any other type of work unless there is a specific exemption in US law. Per {{PD-EdictGov}}, this exemption applies to "legislative enactments, judicial decisions, administrative rulings, public ordinances, or similar types of official legal materials" but not the photographs.

File:PAK 91 - 06 - Atelier Marcel Douwe Dekker.jpg

This is a self-portrait and part of a series of 14 images, see here, a documentary made be me of which I am the maker and own the copyright (author and sole owner of copyright). This picture was nominated with the rational "it is possible Mdd made these using a camera on a tripod and a self timer..." and the nominator already explained "The files below I am giving the benifit of the doubt and can be maintained unless somebody else judges in another way."

Now indeed this picture was made on a tripod, and this tripod was used in the pictures of all ten studio's in the old factory. It was so dark inside that building that a pretty larger closing time was used for all ten pictures of the studio's. In one of the last pictures, see here, you can also see the tripod which is held by one of the participants. Also those pictures where taken in 1993 with the Canon AE-1, I had bought years before, which containes the self timer which was used. -- Mdd (talk) 22:17, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

@Ellin Beltz: This seems to be an accident? No one at the DR was arguing for the deletion of this photo. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:39, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

If I may I like to comment on this, that the deletion request itself was beyond my comprehension at the time. The nomination ground in itself was, what I can now call, an oversimplification, a fallacy:

All of these photos are showing the uploader in person, User:Mdd. Mdd claims to be the author, but this appears highly unlikely. There is no evidence these image are indeed photographed by Mdd...

First of all I didn't understood the phrase highly unlikely... Over the last thirty years I have created over 500 self-portraits and self-staged portraits, see here on Flickr. Nowadays this is nothing special, but in the early days it was. I have published these works on Flickr in a special album online about 15 years ago, as a special branch of my work. The presentation also contains an album on my life with photographs mostly by others, see here. I had published those works as my own with a few exceptions. Now I have learned that such a publication alone grants you the right to be named the maker according to Dutch law, see Auteurswet H.1, art. 4)

Second the nomination speaks of there is no evidence..., as if this is a requirement to explicitly deliver proof. There is evidence in the circumstances, especially that most of the 20 nominated images were part of series of images. Such as the image of the undeletion-request here.

Third the nomination ground speaks of There is no evidence these image are indeed photographed by Mdd... Maybe here I have a limited understanding of English, but I read "photographed by Mdd" as me "taking the picture". It is obvious that if I am on the picture, I didn't directly took the picture. I only learned recently that the key question here is Who Owns the Copyright to the Photo If a Friend or Stranger Takes a Picture of You.

In the past two years I have spend quite some time reconsidering those images, this mass nomination and the outcome. Now I would also like to admit that this has had quite an alienating effect on me and others involved. The nomination itself and it outcome goes beyond what I consider good and enduring Wikimedia practice. Yet I in my own way can understand the decision Ellin Beltz make. I guess he thought "let's meet the nominator and the nominee half way...!?" -- Mdd (talk) 14:09, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

File:1980-04 AFRICAINS lettre anonyme.jpg

Je ne comprends pas pourquoi vous détruisez une telle illustration. Ce document m'appartient (je parle de la lettre anonyme), et je l'ai scanné pour le mettre en ligne. C'est pourquoi je voulais aussi renommer mon site de collaboration avec Commons, pour que mon pseudo ne cache pas mon identité ː je suis le réalisateur/scénariste/écrivain/historien du cinéma Jean-Claude Morin et en plus collectionneur de caméras de cinéma (j'en ai 170 exactemet). J'espère, et je renouvelle cet espoir, que votre démarche globale n'a pas été inspiré par un collaborateur agressif des sites Wiki. Que soient appellées à disparaître des photos de ma défunte épouse Marie-France Briselance, photos que j'ai extraites de mes albums de famille, me semble une démarche douteuse d'un quelconque collaborateur. Que certaines photos de caméras expliquant leur mécanisme sont appelées également à disparaître me semble aussi une démarche suspecte. Tout ceci s'appuyant sur le fait que j'ai introduit une illustration sur Wikipédia, que j'avais prélevée sur Commons et croptée afin de mieux la présenter (j'avais indiqué que cette transformation était de mon fait, que j'en étais l'auteur afin de la différencier de l'originale). Depuis, tout ajout de ma part était réputé comme mensonger. Raisonnement bizarre ǃ Qu'amplifie certainement le côté ultra méthodique des bots ǃ Enfin, aidez-moi, les lecteurs de Wikipédia en sont dignes ǃ Ne supprimez pas à tour de bras ǃ Merci à tous les administrateurs.--PODZO DI BORGO (talk) 08:15, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

I deleted that, it was a re-uploaded of File:Série LES AFRICAINS (France 3) Lettre anonyme ayant provoqué l'embargo des ventes à l'étranger en 1980.jpg that I had deleted just two hours before the re-upload occurred when working on Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by PODZO DI BORGO (where I kept most of the nominated files, but not this one). It's a French anonymous letter from 1980 and not the work of the uploader (he was the addressee). Anonymous works are protected for 70 years from publication in France per COM:France. I don't know when this letter was first published, but even if that was right in 1980, 70 years are not over yet.

File:1. FC Union Berlin 1966 - 1990.gif, File:1. FC Union Berlin Logo.svg

Beide Versionen des Logos bestehen aus einfachen geometrischen Formen (mit Ausnahme des Bären, dazu gleich) und weisen in ihrer Komposition keine ausreichende kreative Eigenleistung auf, um die Schwelle der Schöpfungshöhe zu überschreiten. Der Bär wiederum ist der 740 Jahre alte Berliner Bär, der längst gemeinfrei ist. Eine eigene kreative Leistung in der Gestaltung des Bären ist nicht zu erkennen und war vom Designer vermutlich auch gar nicht beabsichtigt. Die Logos sind beide nicht geschützt, weshalb die Löschung fehlerhaft war und rückgängig zu machen ist. Die beiden löschenden Admins Christian Ferrer und Wdwd wurden bereits angesprochen, der eine weigert sich aber, seine Fehlentscheidung rückgängig zu machen und der andere antwortete leider gar nicht. Siehe auch diese Diskussion. Und hier noch die Links zu den beiden LDs: Commons:Deletion requests/File:1. FC Union Berlin 1966 - 1990.gif und Commons:Deletion requests/File:1. FC Union Berlin Logo.svg. -- Chaddy (talk) 19:45, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

 Support For those who don't understand German: Chaddy argues that, 1) except for the bear, the logo consists only of simple letters and shapes, and 2) the bear is a standard, non-original rendition of Berlin's 740-year-old heraldic animal and therefore in the public domain (to be protected according to German copyright, it would be necessary to have a somehow original rendition of the bear; but in this case, the intention apparently was to show that bear in the way in which it usually appears). I agree and would add that 3) it is not likely that the combination of these elements creates a new work that is copyrightable by the standards usually applied in Germany. Gestumblindi (talk) 20:11, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

•  Support der Bär ist wahlweise wegen seines Alters oder als Amtliches Werk gemeinfrei, alle anderen Elemente sind zu simpel, um geschützt zu sein. --Ralf Roletschek 20:36, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment I closed Commons:Deletion requests/File:1. FC Union Berlin Logo.svg as deleted because it is very unlikely that the representation of the heraldic bear in the file I deleted is the same representation than the 740-year-old one. As per Commons:Coats of arms there is a difference between definition and representation. Furthermore I think the deleted version is likely above the ToO. Regards, Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 03:46, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

  I think the question is not whether the rendering is exactly the same, but whether the difference between it and the closest PD version is above TOO. From Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter#Folklore and tradition, we see that in Germany a Räuchermännchen figurine is below TOO. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:48, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

 Comment Chaddy, can you (or anybody else how support the undeletion) supply a link to an original representation of this bear? In order to be able to make a comparison between the original historical representation you are referring and the current drawing of the bear inside the logo. At the moment we don't have any evidence that the historical drawing of this bear is just the same (with only minor changes) as the bear that is in this logo. btw, the drawing file:Berliner Baer.svg which looks similar is from Ottfried Neubecker (1908–1992).  Info there a DR still pending with the same logo: File:Escudo Union Berlin.png.--Wdwd (talk) 09:41, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

We have at least File:Coat of arms of Berlin.svg and a whole series of articles about it: en:Coat of arms of Berlin. Yann (talk) 09:57, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Category:Berlin bear has many old depictions of this bear. -- Chaddy (talk) 13:06, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Another point is: The official Berliner Bär is also in the public domain as a governmental work (PD-Coa-Germany). The football clubs bear only has slightly differences to the governmental bear which is not enough to be an own creative work (it is below ToO). That is another reason why the Union logo is in the public domain. -- Chaddy (talk) 13:06, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

File:Stolperstein ABG - Kornmarkt 21.jpg

This file was deleted in 2014 at the request of the uploader, HoDaABG, because it inadvertently contained their personal data (Commons:Deletion requests/File:Stolperstein ABG - Kornmarkt 21.jpg). However, after submitting the deletion request, HoDaABG overwrote the file with a new version with the comment "IPTC-Daten minimiert" ("IPTC data minimised"). INeverCry then deleted both versions of the file. I think the second version of the file is the version without personal data that HoDaABG said they would upload, and so that version can and should be undeleted.

Gambar tersebut dibuat oleh pemerintah kabupaten sabu raijua sehingga terkategori sebagai milik publik bukan perorangan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jordan Diwi (talk • contribs) Yann (talk) 15:23, 26 August 2022 (UTC) (UTC)

 Comment Copied from [17], and no license provided. Yann (talk) 15:23, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

 Support I think this qualifies for {{PD-IDGov}}. De728631 (talk) 15:29, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

 Oppose There is no license information on the source site. The source site does not appear to be a government site -- "Publisher PERS Company PT. NUSANTARA CULTURAL HERITAGE MEDIA." and "Welcome to the Archipelago Cultural Heritage Website..." .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:31, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

@Jordan Diwi and De728631: any comment to this? Ankry (talk) 23:38, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

 Oppose It seems that Jameslwoodward is right. On a second look there is no evidence that this is an official government photo. De728631 (talk) 09:17, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

• 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.

This would resolve scope problems if they were raised. But they were not. The deletion reason was copyright related: who is the photographer and where did they grant a free license to this photo? Ankry (talk) 01:56, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

 Oppose This will require a free license from the actual photographer or his heir. It also will require explanation of why it is in scope, that is, why it serves any educational purpose. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:12, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

From the photo EXIF: Copyright Photo Division Ministry of I & B (PIB) Govt. of India Soochna Bhawan, CGO Complex, Lodhi Road, New Delhi-110003 . Photo Division Ministry of India is a part of Government of India so {{GODL-India}} applies, IMO. However, according to EXIF, the author is Manoj Kumar, not the President's Secretariat.  Support undeletion and fixing. Ankry (talk) 01:53, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Please undelete the photo and this is in public domain. Invictus1995 (talk) 07:43, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

 Oppose Why do you think this is PD?. It is recent and certainly above the ToO. I see no reason to believe that it does not have a copyright. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:07, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
