File:BlogOrlando with Mickey Mouse (2889298501).jpg

Per the three deletion discussions at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Spiderman and child.jpg and per Commons:Deletion requests/Images of costumes tagged as copyvios by AnimeFan/Mike Godwin mail. In the Spiderman case, an argument made was This is a picture of a performer in a costume, not a picture of Spiderman. Commons has consistently decided that images of performers in costumes are not copyright violations. Also the argument that masked costumes are copyright violations is invalidated by the Spiderman discussion, as the performer is clearly wearing a mask in that image. It's worth noting that the Spiderman image was kept on three separate occasions. Di (they-them) (talk) 21:42, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

 Oppose I can't speak to the discussions noted above -- we have almost 100 million files on Commons and 25,000 editors. Some discussions reach incorrect conclusions.

The law is fairly simple. Ordinary costumes, even very complex ones, are simply clothing and treated as utilitarian by the USCO and most other countries. Masks, however, are not utilitarian and unless very simple will have a copyright. Therefore we can't keep images of masked performers unless the copyright has expired or another exception applies. It is well established that Mickey Mouse is copyrighted, albeit not for much longer. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:10, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

@Jameslwoodward: In the Mike Godwin mail that I linked, WMF lawyer Mike Godwin specifically said that costumes (including masked ones such as Spider-Man) are not copyright violations, which has been policy on Commons ever since. Di (they-them) (talk) 14:04, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
Actually no. Your Goodwin quote is from 2009. In 2011 WMF issued a clarification (see COM:COSTUME where it is quoted) which clearly states that masks can be copyrighted and that costumes whose details are distinctive from their role as clothing can also have a copyright. The Spiderman costume clearly meets this requirement, Mickey Mouse maybe not. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:31, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - Repeated deference to Godwin is bizarre, and a fallacy. Whatever his skill as General Counsel, an intellectual property expert Godwin is not and, more importantly, the statement was and is both limited to a Spiderman costume and devoid of any rationale, basis, or reference to legal authority/treatise/etc. That, through the game of Chinese whispers that is Wikimedia editing, it has been conflated to all costumes is an abject failure to read and to think critically. Costumes are unambiguously eligible for copyright protection to the extent they incorporate aspects beyond the mere function of clothing, which the costume in this image absolutely does. This is a concept from, among others, Star Athletica and, as only one example, Silvertop Assocs. v. Kangaroo Mfg. - 931 F.3d 215 (3d Cir. 2019) found this costume to be protected by copyright.

I am requesting an un deletion of this file which shows Boomer Mays during a football game with his helmet off. He is an NFL player and publicly recognizable. This phot was one from when he was in college and should fall under the NCAA Likeness Rule or (NIL) which indicates any player where there photo, name, or jersey is taken that athlete has full rights to and can use it however.

File:Flag of Sandefjord.gif

As per Template:PD-Coa-Norway. —VulpesVulpes42 (talk) 18:26, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

 Oppose The subject flag was taken from Flags of the World where it is not freely licensed. The template cited above applies only to the official coat of arms of Norway. This is the flag of the city of Sandefjord. Note that we have

File:Flag of Sandefjord.png

drawn by the uploader with a CC-BY-SA license. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:32, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

 Comment @Jameslwoodward: I could be misunderstanding, but I interpret the wording of the template as applicative to all officially approved Norwegian coats of arms; not only the national arms, but also officially approved arms of counties, municipalities, etc. as well. If my interpretation is correct, then those municipal flags which are banners of arms would be covered by the template too, as they are merely variations of the coats of arms with rectangular rather than shield‐shaped edges. —VulpesVulpes42 (talk) 17:46, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
The original coats of arms may be in the public domain, but specific renderings are not automatically. It depends on the complexity and variations of each of them. Yann (talk) 17:50, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
I, too, could be wrong, but the template says, "This official Norwegian coat of arms is ineligible for copyright..." and shows an image of the National CoA. It seems to me that "This" with singular "coat" and "is" refers only to the one CoA illustrated and does not extend beyond that. There is nothing at COM:Norway that is helpful. Also note that as a rule even if a CoA is PD, particular drawings of it have copyrights, as is the case here. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:42, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

hello this newspaper name was "Isfahan today" from more than 60 years ago in Isfahan Iran and after Iran's revolution it was closed. Moghimzenderood (talk) 07:49, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
OK, that's definitely better. Can you give us more specific information on when this was published by Isfahan Today so the source information and date information on the file is better? I'm inclined per the DR to  Support but more information would be helpful to showing its scope here and improving its educational use. Abzeronow (talk) 15:55, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

 Oppose Comments above by me. The quoted words are the entire file description as translated from the Farsi by Google. The dates given are all in 2023. There are no useful categories.

There is a good question of how many, if any at all, of these are in scope. I ran several different Google searches and had no relevant hits on "Mohammad Moghim". They are obviously not the {{Own}} work of the uploader as claimed, so it is hard to know how much of what he says is correct. None of them have dates, places, or sources. Some are obviously old and possibly PD, but some are recent. The Iranian copyright period runs from publication and only one of these images is a halftone, so the rest may or may not have been published prior to their appearance here. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:49, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

hello you can find relevant hits on "Mohamad Moghim" because you search his name in English? he was a Persian basketball player and if you search his name if Farsi as " محمد مقیم " you can fine many relevant hits. and about the "Own work of the uploaded" all this pics are from his family albums pics and his family allow us to use them for this page. some of these pic has no time but most of them have time and place and even we introduced the others people in the photos.
Some of the reasons for removing the photos are really unacceptable and illogical. Most of the information is related to 50-60 years ago in Iran, when there was no internet and no proper archive. For example, to prove that he was an international basketball referee, I put a photo of his international referee course certificate, but they ask me for a copyright certificate?!!!
this message : "Receive a certificate of appreciation" who? when? source of image? copyright on certificate?
what do you mean source of image?!!! Moghimzenderood (talk) 08:13, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
The fact that you own a paper or digital copy of a photograph does not give you the right to freely license it as required here. That right remains with the photographer or his heirs unless there is a written license agreement. As I noted above, the Iranian copyright term begins with publication, so in the case of photos from old family albums, the copyright term probably started with their uploading here. In order for any of them to be restored, you must show that it was published before 1993.
In the case of the certificates, the certificates themselves have a copyright which must be considered.
I will stipulate that Mohamad Moghim is in scope, but many of the images of him are not.
.     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:14, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
So what exactly do I have to do to get the photos back? please guide me Moghimzenderood (talk) 14:00, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
at least some of them? Moghimzenderood (talk) 14:02, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
Photos coming out of old family albums are very difficult for Commons, especially in countries such as Iran that begin the copyright term with publication. As I said above, in order for any of them to be restored, you must show that it was published before 1993. If WP:FA accepts fair use, your only option may be to post them there. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:12, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
I think many of them might be in scope, but only if they are described well enough. The date, location and motif should be described well enough for somebody like me (not yet born 60 years ago, and not from Iran) to figure out what they are about ("the team of referees" – at what match or tournament? "Sports Park Basketball Team" – is that a name? An official team? What city? When? "Isfahan's selected team" – selected by whom, for what, when? and so on). Sometimes, of course, you don't know the date or even year when some photo was taken, but I assume you know some time span. Tell that instead of the date of upload or digitising.
For the copyright side, your picking the photo from your family album doesn't make you the author (don't claim {{Own}}). Many family album photographs are {{Unknown}}, sometimes you might know who took it (such as if your grandfather was an eager photographer and they are by him). Sadly, as only the author has the right to publish the photos (also in Iran, I assume), you need to know who they are to get a permission from their heirs and thus for us to legally host them (unless they are in the public domain for some reason).
–LPfi (talk) 14:26, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
I did not include the possibility of getting permission from the photographers' heirs because they don't have the look of family photos -- I think that most, maybe all, were taken by various professionals. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:33, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
how should I can prove that these photos were published before 1979 in Iran . I know who took most of these pictures .He was a professional sport photographer and he was Mohamad Moghim close friend who his name is "Mohamad Allaee" but he pass away some years ago . I really can not understand your policy first you asked me for not deleting his page we use photos that can prove the text and then you delete the pic because of licence! In the most pics I describe the name of people, time and scope but if you thing it is not enough please back the pics and allow us to correct them. at least for one time again?

 Support Pre-revolution pictures. {{PD-Iran}} applies to them. Yann (talk) 08:24, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
Yann, help me here. I don't see anything at COM:IRAN that gives any special status to pre-revolutionary photographs. Also note that many of these are from after the revolution. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:48, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
Pictures are in the public domain after 30 years from the date of publication, so every picture published before 1979 is in the public domain in Iran. It is quite easy to see the difference between pre- and post-revolution pictures (clothing, etc., e.g. File:MGHDOKHTARAN.jpg). And historical pictures are automatically in scope. Pictures published between 1979 and 1992 are also in the public domain in Iran, but it may be difficult to verify the date. Yann (talk) 13:57, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
thanks most of these pics were taken before 1979 I thing just some of them like "File:MOHAMADPISHKESVATAN.jpg" which is for 4 years ago and was taken with mobile of his daughter or " File:MGHYADBOOD.jpg " is 2 days after his death about 1 month ago. Moghimzenderood (talk) 15:18, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
Yann, as you say, the copyright term begins with publication, not creation. Only one of these is a halftone and there is no evidence that any others have been published. As Moghimzenderood says, they all came out of a family album. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:45, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
so what should I do now? please guide me. Moghimzenderood (talk) 15:59, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
I haven't seen the images, but I assume it is unlikely that professional photos would have been made for a family album. I assume Mohammad Moghim (?) got a copy that he saved in the family album, while other copies were used commercially. Could more of them have been published in Isfahan today? Would some have ended up in a club paper? For important matches some may have been published in national papers. Are there good archives where these could be found? Did he save clips from the papers? LPfi (talk) 17:17, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
you can find some of his pics in some website like [1]https://www.irbasketball.com/moghim/ .as I said before these pics were taken by a professional sport photographer and he was Mohamad Moghim close friend who his name is "Mohamad Allaee" but he passed away some years ago and perhaps he gave these pics to his family. Moghimzenderood (talk) 18:04, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
@Moghimzenderood: Internet publications are likely useless here as we need publications that are 30+ years old, eg. in pre-1993 newspapers, magazines, books. Or we need a written free license permission sent directly to VRT by photographer's heirs. Ankry (talk) 20:30, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
really!!? How should I find the photographer's heirs!!!? When the photos belong to family albums, it means that this family owns the photos. Really, I can't understand your policy. Why should we post photos that do not belong to us? We only put them to prove the text and have a piece of his memory for posterity. only this. If your ridiculous rules won't let us, we won't insist anymore. really thank you!!!!! Moghimzenderood (talk) 08:02, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
Our policy is to respect the law. It is the law that is absurd, and international cooperation means that no single country's legislature that is guilty. The principle that a work's copyright is owned by its creator, a priori, is sound, but especially the treatment of "orphaned" works is absurd: if nobody knows who owns the copyright, nobody can use the work. The problem is that a heir might have sold the rights to his photos, or to one of his photos, to a company that comes after med if I publish the photo without permission. Commons needs to provide me with a defence for such situations. That's why we are strict.
To your question: if the photographer was a close friend to your family, then somebody in your family might know his heirs. The other route is to find an early publication. If some of the photos at irbasketball (or elsewhere on the net) have a note on publication or something that hints on publication, we might be able to use that.
–LPfi (talk) 12:41, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
the photographer was a close friend to him , but as I said before these photos are belong to 60 or 50 years ago and Moghim family do not know relatives of him. and even if we can find them how should we prove that they are his heirs?? and as I said before for some of his photo we do not know who is the photographer! like the photo of him in military. we just find them in family album. the photos at irbasketball are from his family album too which are used by a journalist who was interview by him and his family some month before his death and his family gave permission to him to publish these photos at this website. Moghimzenderood (talk) 14:09, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

As I said above, images from a family album are difficult because it is often impossible to trace the photographer and get the required free license. Your best action here will be to upload them on WP:FA as Fair Use if that is permitted there. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:23, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

I think my fault was that I choose the date of time that I uploaded them at Wikipedia. I Think I should entered the date which the pics were taken! If I upload these pics again and this time, I enter the correct time, will the problem be solved? Moghimzenderood (talk) 09:36, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
NO! You must never reload an image out of process. Doing so may cause you to be blocked from editing here. The problem is not the dates the images were made but that you have offered no proof that any of them were published before their upload here. Copyright periods in Iran begin with publication, so in order to prove that the copyright has expired, you must, in each case, prove when and where they were first published. Since that does not seem to be possible, as I have suggested twice before, your best action will be to upload them at WP:FA as Fair Use if that is permitted there. .     Jim . . .

I  Support restoration of File:MOHAMADTEAM.jpg as it is clearly PD-Iran. But a more specific date of its publication in Isfahan today than more than 60 years ago (i.e. before 1963) would be helpful. Abzeronow (talk) 15:54, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
 Support per Yann's arguments. --RAN (talk) 01:18, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 Comment Just to throw mud onto the pile a bit: what counts as publication of a photograph? Does it have to as strict as "printing in a magazine for mass distribution"? If a few prints are made, and sold privately, is that not "published"? The borderline between published and not published seems very hard to determine in a case like this, and it might be reasonable to view this as published, as a commercial photographer has given copies to people that they were not related to. It is close to an analogy of self-publishing or privately printing or distributing a few copies of something written, which I suspect would count as "published" in copyright law. JimKillock (talk) 17:56, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
Further to this, in US law, "Publication is the distribution of copies or phonorecords of a work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending". Of course local law could be different; but if similar, the main issue would be if this "transfer of ownership" or "lending" was "to the public" (or someone in the public, presumably) in this kind of case. I would argue it ought to be seen this way, as the photographer cannot and does not expect to control what happens to the print after gifting it. It could be resold, or inherited etc; all that cannot happen is that it is copied while in copyright. The same would be true of a studio print, handed to a single customer, for instance, excepting that the exchange would include a payment. Presumably artworks are treated the same way, when they are given to a new owner, that is in effect a "publication date" for copyright purposes. JimKillock (talk) 11:44, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
@JimKillock: US law definitions are most likely irrelevant here as due to lack od copyright relations between US and Iran, the photos are PD in US. We need to base on Iranian law here. Ankry (talk) 00:22, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

 Not done: Consensus was only to undelete a single file whose publication definitely puts it before the Iranian Revolution. No consensus to undelete the other files which seem to have been created many years ago, but there's no proof that they were published in a timeframe that makes them public domain in Iran. --Abzeronow (talk) 15:35, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

The request above quotes the movie FoP, while the FoP for stills is limited to architecture, sculpture, and works of artistic craftsmanship -- which is generally interpreted to mean 3D folk art and the like.

File:Morissette Amon in ASAP Chillout (2018).jpg

The photo in question serves as a valuable visual representation for an informative article currently hosted on the platform, and its removal has compromised the overall quality and completeness of the content. Upon thorough review, it is evident that the image meets all necessary criteria outlined in your licensing requirements, specifically pertaining to appropriate copyright permissions and fair use considerations. Furthermore, it is a screenshot from YouTube, as YouTube falls under the category of prominent online platforms widely utilized for sharing media content, it inherently promotes public access and dissemination of information. Consequently, it is crucial that such multimedia resources are made available to enrich articles published on Wikimedia Commons. I kindly request your consideration in promptly handling this matter by reinstating the photo in question. Thank you for your attention to this issue.--Phoenixupdate (talk) 14:36, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

 Oppose When you uploaded the image, you claimed that you were the actual photographer. Now you claim that someone else was.

File:1916 first page of the pencil first draft of The Play of Everyman by George Sterling.jpg This file is an image, a photograph of the first page of George Sterling's handwritten first draft of The Play of Everyman. This file is in the public domain for 3 reasons:

  • George Sterling died in 1926. According to U.S. copyright law, all manuscripts by authors who died before 1930 are in the public domain.
  • The Play of Everyman was copyrighted in 1917. That is 106 years ago, so the play itself is in the public domain.
  • I, Vince Emery, took this photo and own it. I stated that I placed it in the public domain, available to anyone to freely use in any way. If I did not select the correct button to say that before, I wish it to be known now.

  •  Oppose - You initially you claimed yourself to be the author. Further, when the image was nominated for deletion, you explicitly stated "I own copyright to this image, though it has been use in other publications the reflected my ownership" (underline added) and removed the template. Only latter did you finally admit " I do not own right to this copyright, but it has been published under the creative commons license" (after adding a "source" with terms of "Operator grants you a non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable, limited license to use and access the Website solely for your own personal, noncommercial use.") No "knowledge of how wiki commons copyright policy works" is necessary to understand how to make truthful statements, and framing your multiple lies as inexperience is entirely disingenuous. You've provided no evidence whatsoever of a free license and, per above, have no credibility. This is a COM:NETCOPYVIO. Эlcobbola talk 15:41, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
    I clearly explained to you my inexperience with wiki commons. I previously claimed ownership of the image because I thought it was referring to being my work on wiki commons. I already told you that I was an amateur doing the period, and I believe that would be enough for consideration.

File:Serraul-Italie-1984.png

Hello everyone,

This photo has been imported according to the PD-Italy rules: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:PD-Italy

- This picture has been taken in Italy, during the production of an italian film by Luigi Comencini in 1989. - It has been taken as a report or promotion purpose and this is not an "artistic photograph" - It has been croped and partially retouched

I checked with Racconish if these types of photographs can be imported in Wikimedia Commons.

This file has been instantly deleted yesterday, before I could give any explanation, wich I consider unfair and improper way, accordin to Wikimedia Commons recomandations.

Please, someone could revert ?

Regards.

Tisourcier (talk) 14:30, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

 Oppose As noted at COM:Italy the distinction between simple photographs with a 20 year copyright and those photographs that have a 70 year copyright is not clear, so we generally apply the 70 year rule. However, the question is moot in this case, since this 1989 photograph was under copyright in Italy for 13 years past the URAA date, so this will have a US copyright until at least 1/1/2085. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:30, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Agreed, except for the detail that this photo, published after 28 February 1989, directly generated a U.S. copyright, unrelated to the URAA. -- Asclepias (talk) 15:46, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

File:MeAndLimmy.jpg

A clearly personal photo alongside a minor celebrity deleted as "no permission". The user who flagged it didn't respond to a question asking why they felt permission was needed, and the deleting admin has been a little vague: Perhaps a combination of multiple factors, including copyrighted material visible in the background., where those other factors include the fact that we don't know if the uploader took the image on a camera timer, or quickly asked a friend to take it.

From the thousands of personal images in Category:User page images where the subject isn't visibly holding the camera, as well as many other celebrity photos where the fan standing next to them has been cropped out, I'd assume that if someone hands their friend their camera and asks them to take a photo on their behalf, permission is implicit.

If there are concerns about the posters in the background, they can be cropped or blurred following undeletion. --Belbury (talk) 09:20, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

 Oppose It is well established here that in a case where John hands his camera to Susan and she takes his picture that we require a free license from Susan. "Implicit" permission doesn't work; copyright licenses must be in writing. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:13, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

But it also seems well established that Category:User page images has thousands of photos where the subject wasn't holding the camera, and Commons doesn't mind this.
Is there an explicit and documented line that divides these cases? That Susan is unlikely to want to formally license a casual photo of her friend John, because nobody is likely to want to buy that, but may regret not licensing a photo of her friend John standing next to a celebrity? Belbury (talk) 13:45, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
We are closing in on having 100 million images on Commons. My best guess is that at least 1% -- close to a million images -- should be deleted, perhaps many more. So, your first sentence above may well be half correct -- we may have thousands of such images -- but the other half is incorrect -- they should be deleted when spotted.
This was extensively debated here a few years ago and settled. Places to confirm this include:
  • COM:MYWORK, "First of all, is it actually your own work? In most countries, if someone else takes a picture of you, the photographer is the copyright holder unless explicitly transferred to you in writing, even if you have paid to have the picture taken."
  • Commons:Own work, "NOT OWN WORK:
Photos of you not taken by you. The copyright holder is the person who takes the photograph unless it is a formal work for hire."

File:Robin Tyler Performing.png

Robin Tyler hired a photographer to take this image over 50 years ago for the purposes of promotional material. It has always legally belonged to Tyler. The link included as an instance of previous use was one in which the Robin Tyler Estate (AKA: Arlene Chernick Estate) gave permission for use. DaltonHird (talk) 20:55, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

 Not done: Tyler might have had the right to use the image for promotion, but it would be very unusual for the photographer to grant her the right to freely license it as required here.

File:Canadian Monarch Timeline.png

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: This image was previous displaying the timeline of prime ministers of Canada and the Monarchy. This image has existed on Wikipedia from September 2022 - January 2023 and appears to be removed as the original site hosting the image is unresponsive. Previously the image existed even longer than the timeline provided, but did not have Charles and was thus edited. You are able to find this information in the logs as well as in the internet archives on the waybackmachine. This image has existed for a while and recently came upon it being removed, located the image file and re-uploaded the image. This is a graphical lifespan timeline of prime ministers of Canada and the Monarchy. Twenty-three people have served as Prime Minister of Canada since the office came into existence in 1867. They are listed in order of office. (Prime ministers leading multiple ministries are listed in the order of their first premiership). I would ask for this image to be re-instated. Hmmm1234 (talk) 23:47, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Out of scope as an image that does not need to be an image. There exists a perfectly fine graphic on w:Lifespan timeline of prime ministers of Canada, constructed entirely using wiki markup. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:20, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
    It is not out of scope as the graphic you reference only has the lifespan of prime ministers, where the graphic I reference contains the monarchy and timeline of prime ministers in office. Your graphic is not associated with the page where edits were made. This is completely different then what you are trying to reference. The graphic you reference is not "fine" as it is lacking information that corresponds with the history of the monarchy in relation to the timeline of prime minister's in office for the country of Canada. This should respectfully be added, as Wikipedia is lacking crucial information that does not reflect the original graphic uploaded. There is no reference to the fact that this image existed before and was removed without legitimate reasons. Hmmm1234 (talk) 04:02, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

 Oppose The deleted image requested above is identical in all respects to the page cited by KoH. The monarchy does not appear on it in any respect. I would guess that the deleted image is a screenshot of the cited page.

As he says, a constructed graphic is always preferable to an image, particularly for things that change. When A new PM is elected, adding him or her to the graphic is trivial. Adding to the image requires a new image from a skilled image editor. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:34, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

The deleted image requested is not identical in any respect to the graphic you are referencing. As previously indicated, the graphic you reference only has the lifespan of prime ministers, where the graphic I reference contains the monarchy and timeline of prime ministers in office. The constructed graphic has existed on wiki for more then half of a year and appears to be unwarranty removed. There is no reason for an image editor as the graphic is accurate and should be uploaded as such. Hmmm1234 (talk) 22:59, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

File:King Liang (2023).png

I believe this file was deleted by accident. The deletion discussion ended with the decision to keep the file. However, the file was instead deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TansoShoshen (talk • contribs) 03:23, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

 Comment. @Krd and Gbawden: pinging you since there appears to be a bit of contradiction here. It does look like this was kept at Commons:Deletion requests/File:King Liang (2023).png for being in-scope, but the deletion reason cites the "no permission" tags that were left on the page following DR.
I'm a bit confused as to how we wound up here, but the source (archive from same day as upload) doesn't appear to be CC-licensed, so I have residual COM:L-related concerns about undeleting this.
Along those lines, @TansoShoshen: you wrote here that you had evidence of the CC license being posted on YouTube. Are you able to provide an archive link that backs this up? I'm not able to verify it, but I think we should be able to undelete this if all checks out licensing-wise. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 03:41, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
I'm not able to view any license on the video anymore, which is odd. However, the original video under its title "I HATE TECH COMPANIES" is searchable on the Creative Commons website. I also sent an email to the MCN connected with the YouTuber. TansoShoshen (talk) 09:24, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
The issue in the DR was scope - clearly he is in scope hence the keep. I don't remember checking for licensing issues as the issue was scope. If we can't confirm that it was freely licensed it shouldn't be undeleted Gbawden (talk) 06:37, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - There is no CC license at the source the uploader provided, and no evidence there has ever been. The DR focused on the narrow issue of scope and is not relevant to the copyright issue. This not a particularly old file--26 February 2023--so the likelihood that there has been a subsequent license change is very low. Further, other of this uploader's files sourced from different YouTube accounts also have this issue (no CC license at YouTube source). Given the alternatives of: a) the serendipity of two entirely separate YouTube channels each changing their licenses in the brief time between upload (e.g., 13 April 2023) and now or b) the uploader has a misunderstanding of licensing and derivatives, the choice seems clear. This is a venue for when evidence supporting restoration is on hand, and it is not. COM:VRT will handle restoration if and when appropriate evidence from the YouTube uploader is received ("I also sent an email to the MCN connected with the YouTuber.")

At louisianadigitallibrary.org there is the following quote: 'The Louisiana Digital Library (LDL) is an online library of more than 400,000 digital items from Louisiana archives, libraries, museums, and other repositories, making unique historical treasures accessible to students, researchers, and the general public in Louisiana and across the globe...'

Not automatically. The copyright status of the items must be evaluated. -- Asclepias (talk) 18:13, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
Guessing: could it be "PD-US-no notice"? No apparent notice. For example, "File:Fish by Caroline Durieux.jpg": created in 1932 and printed in New York (presumably soon after creation). Seems reasonable. Although more research may help. Creation dates and printing information for the other items can be checked. The copyright statement of the library website sounds like it may just mean that the determination of the copyright according to the copyright law is the responsibility of the user. -- Asclepias (talk) 18:13, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

 Support Asclepias has it right -- {{PD-US-no notice}} is correct. The copyright section from the library is not helpful, but I examined all of them and none has the required notice. Several have signatures, others have initials, but there are no dates on the images and neither © nor "Copyright" appears anywhere. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:37, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Where does it say that the architect is "unknown", who said it? I'd rather use {{PD-US-architecture}} than {{PD-US-expired}} btw. --Rosenzweig τ 10:41, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
Some minimalist sources that are easily available on the internet all seem to recite very similar variations on the same story about the construction, with a vague information that plans were prepared at some time near the beginning of the 1914 war. They mention the priest who promoted the construction project but they do not mention an architect. They continue by saying that the construction began in 1922, using the slightly modified project. Again, they mention another priest who continued the project, but no architect. For example, the lv.wikipedia article refers as its source to this page at the Ludza municipal library. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that the architect is unknown. But someone would have to do a serious research to determine if an architect can be identified or not. Commons has four photos of the building. Given that they are ok in the U.S. and the apparent obscurity of sources about an architect, IMHO it doesn't seem a situation where Commons should go out of its way to delete them. -- Asclepias (talk) 13:35, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

File:HAL Airport bangalore 1947.jpg

This image was deleted because it is "a photo on display at the HAL Aerospace Museum, Bangalore" and "the Flickr photographer didn't actually take the photo". However, the photograph shouldn't be deleted without checking its copyright status, as the photograph dates to 1947, thus it is surely in public domain (per {{PD-India}}). --Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 12:28, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

This was deleted because it is from a "bad account". However, not all photos from "bad accounts" are license-laundered. Accounts flagged as "bad accounts" are simply ones we need to apply scrutiny to. Judging from the Flickr page for this, this legitimately does seem to be the work of Cindy Kurman of Kurman Communications. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SecretName101 (talk • contribs) 13:04, 28 July 2023 (UTC) (UTC)

 Support These are indeed under a free license on Flickr: [9], [10] [11]. I don't see any reason why the license is not valid. Yann (talk) 13:09, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

✓ Done: Photographer appears to be Cindy Kurman. Files are now licensed reviewed. --Abzeronow (talk) 15:41, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
