 Oppose Since the image appears elsewhere on the Web without a free license, policy requires that either the actual photographer must send a free license or you may send a free license together with a copy of the writing giving you the license, in either case using VRT. .     Jim . . .

I have reached out the authority, who responded that the purpose of the clause "The information on this website (excluding the pictures in the 'Congress Art Exhibition') may be reproduced for personal or family non-profit purposes"." in {{LYWOIA}} is to exclude the pictures in the "Congress Art Exhibition" column instead of applying additional restriction to the license itself. Please also see discussion COM:Deletion requests/Template:LYWOIA Larryasou (talk) 04:45, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

 Oppose "personal or family non-profit purposes" is not sufficient for Commons. We need a free license. Please read COM:L. Yann (talk) 06:44, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Dear Wikimedia Administrator

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request the undeletion of a photo that was recently removed from Wikimedia. The photo in question is titled AMJmafi2-20-23.jpg and was previously uploaded to Wikimedia on 30th August 2023 The deletion occurred on 30th August 2023, and the deletion log cites the reason as File:1stSpeaker.jpg is considered to fulfill the criteria for speedy deletion and has been marked on its page. The following reason has been specified: CSD F10 (personal photos of or by non-contributors) If you believe the content does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, you may replace the speedy deletion tag with a regular deletion request (if the content has not been deleted) or request undeletion (if the content has already been deleted).
All your uploads, including deleted ones, are listed in your upload log.
 If you need help, please read our frequently asked questions or visit the help desk. Please do not remove this message from your talk page. You may set up archiving instead. . After carefully reviewing the Wikimedia guidelines and the reasons for the deletion, I believe there might have been a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the content. I would like to provide some additional context to support my request for the undeletion of the photo:

  • Content Accuracy: The photo accurately depicts the subject matter and adheres to all relevant guidelines for appropriate content. There are no violations of copyright or any other infringement.

  • Notability: The subject of the photo holds significance within its respective field and is relevant to the Wikimedia community. It contributes to the overall diversity and comprehensiveness of Wikimedia's content.

  • Permission: I can confirm that I am the original uploader of the photo and have the necessary rights to grant permission for its use on Wikimedia. If required, I am more than willing to provide any additional documentation to support this claim.

  • Educational Value: The photo serves an educational purpose by providing visual information that enriches the understanding of the topic

.


I kindly request that you reconsider the deletion of the photo and reinstate it on Wikimedia. If there are any specific modifications or steps I need to take to ensure compliance with Wikimedia's policies, please let me know, and I will be more than happy to address them promptly. I deeply value the Wikimedia community's dedication to accurate and comprehensive information sharing, and I believe that the reinstatement of this photo would contribute positively to this goal.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response. Best regards,

Amani Username: Amani Mafigi Joel — Preceding unsigned comment added by AMANI MAFIGI Joel (talk • contribs) 07:53, 31 August 2023‎ (UTC)

 Oppose. The photo should not be undeleted imho, for two reasons:
  1. The photo depicts yourself and is obviously not a selfie. Permission from the photographer would be needed to publish the photo on Commons with a free license per VRT.
  2. The photo is out of scope, perr COM:SCOPE because the person depicted is (not yet) notable. The photo was published on a draft article, created by yourself, en:User:AMANI MAFIGI Joel/sandbox.
If the article is accepted in the encyclopedia, you can request undeletion, after permission has been received on VRT from the photographer.

Hi, As previously explained to Adamant1 regarding his arbitrary nominations, this picture was taken in 1977, making it suitable for PD-Algeria. The image was taken from a paid Algerian platform that deals with old stamps. I will not include the link in the source, as it would be a commercial promotion. The Post of Algeria has been mentioned as the source, and that is sufficient for me. Regards

  •  Oppose As I've said on my talk page, the nominations weren't arbitrary. They were based on the fact that you left necessary information from the files when you uploaded them, which isn't on me. Also, it's perfectly fine to link to a commercial website if that's where you got the file from. Like I've said, we use eBay as a source all the time and no one cares. To the specifics of this image, it was published in 1977 and the license you added PD-Algeria file, which only applies to works published "published prior to 1973." So the image shouldn't be restored since it's clearly copyrighted. Really, the fact that your unwilling to acknowledge that just makes me question your judgement with the other files your claiming are in the public domain. --Adamant1 (talk) 14:36, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
@Adamant1 You certainly mean “the image shouldn't be restored”? Mussklprozz (talk) 15:10, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
Lol, correct. --Adamant1 (talk) 15:17, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
@Adamant1 @Mussklprozz as I explained before, I don't understand why he keeps emphasizing my acknowledgment, which was detailed in our discussion. There is a PD-Algeria-photo-except that applies to the image, as it falls within the scope of prior work before 1987 and I kindly request @Reda Kerbouche to take some time to consider and possibly support my viewpoint. Riad Salih (talk) 15:37, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
Two things. First of all, it was originally licensed with PD-Algeria-file, not PD-Algeria-photo-except like your claiming. Second, even if it licensed with PD-Algeria-photo-except, it's obviously not a photograph. So the license wouldn't be valid anyway. --Adamant1 (talk) 15:41, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
@Adamant1 I never claimed that it was first published under PD-Algeria-photo-except. What I mentioned was that it falls within the scope of prior work before 1987. The license could easily be modified.
This license has indeed been used for numerous years here to cover a wide range of image types. The decree is available in both French and Arabic languages and can be easily accessed online. It explicitly indicates that it applies to all works created before 1987. Therefore, I kindly request you to reconsider your decision in light of this information.
Regards Riad Salih (talk) 15:56, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
It explicitly indicates that it applies to all works created before 1987. No it doesn't. What part of "this Algerian photograph, which was first published prior to January 1, 1987" makes you think it applies to all works created before 1987? Maybe the license can changed, but that's out of the scope of this conversation. Although if you want to start a conversation about it on Commons:Village pump/Copyright be my guest, but I doubt it will go anywhere and the image is probably going to stay deleted until then regardless. --Adamant1 (talk) 16:11, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

I own the rights to the photos that have been removed. Please restore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dzikizgon (talk • contribs) 20:22, 31 August 2023 (UTC) (UTC)

@Dzikizgon:
  1. I own the rights to the photos is not the same as I am the author. And proper authorship information is required by the the CC license you declared at upload.
  2. If a photo was previously published we need either an evidence that it was published under the declared free license or a written free license permission coming via email directly from the copyright holder to VRT. The copyright holder is either the author (photographer) or a person who can provide a copyright transfer contract with the photographer.

I was going to upload this file until I saw it was already deleted by you in 2021, and when I asked the editor who deleted it, User:Fitindia, they directed me here. My understanding is that Boone Speed (climbing partner and photographer) of Chris Sharma donated this photo (which he took) to share alike status. For example in Climbing Magazine (the biggest climbing magazine), the photo is marked as CC-BY-SA-4.0 here and here. It also appears in Psychology Today, but that may be via Wikipedia. Was it possible that Boone Speed withdrew the free license and emailed Commons? Is that what happened? Otherwise, can it be reinstated? thanks. Aszx5000 (talk) 17:00, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

In order to withdraw a license it needs to be granted first. The CC-BY-SA 4.0 publications that you pointed out are newer than upload to Commons, so the Commons photo may be their source. As the photographer is identifiable, we need a clear evidence that the free license has been granted by the photographer. In my opinion, in order to undelete the photo we need either an evidence of CC-BY-SA 4.0 publication that is earlier than July 1, 2015 or a written free license permission from the photographer via VRT.

Deletion log states it's an "exact or scaled-down duplicate" of File:Flag map of Katanga, 1960–1963.svg. The file was based on File:Katanga in Democratic Republic of the Congo.svg with the red part replaced with the flag. The files are substantially different even if the file names are similar.

File was based on File:Map of Katanga.svg, the deletion log states it's a scaled-down duplicate of File:Flag map of Katanga, 1960–1963.svg, which gets it the wrong way around. The file that was not deleted is technically the "scaled-down duplicate" (it's a derivative file I created without any of the original's bodies of water (no rivers/lakes), due to the map lacking these details, I simplified the design further - this is even mentioned in the file description). In the original file (the one that was deleted) all those details are still there. ReneeWrites (talk) 21:36, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

@Padreburgos2020:
  1. Where do you want to use the photo in Wikimedia? Is there a Wikipedia article about him (in any language)?
  2. The photo is low resolution; in order to keep is here we would also need either a full-resolution original version with complite camera metadata in EXIF, or a free license via VRT.

Hi, the file was deleted even tough it was established as PD since it was part of a book from 1916. The original photo is from “The Blue Book of Costa Rica” (1916), and it was taken by Manuel Gómez Miralles. The book in question is a Government-published book to advertise Costa Rica to foreign investors, you can look at it here on page 208. Being a Government publication, it has copyright protection for 25 years, therefore it has been in the public domain since 1941; and if we want to consider normal copyright of 70 years, it would also be in the public domain since 1986. Please reverse. Thanks in advance. --Mito0504 (talk) 06:53, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

 Oppose As you say, the photographer was Manuel Gómez Miralles (1886-1965) (for dates, see https://sanjosevolando.com/cultura/manuel-gomez-miralles-uno-de-los-fotografos-profesionales-mas-importantes-de-costa-rica).

Costa Rica law provides for copyright for 70 years after the death of the creator. Therefore, while there is no URAA copyright, the Costa Rica copyright will be in force until 1/1/2036. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:15, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

As said before, the work is from a Goverment document, so the protection is of 25 years after the year of publication Mito0504 (talk) 22:36, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
The 25 year term is limited to economic rights; there are other rights that go with copyright, including, for example, the right to decide where a work is published. Also, while the image may have appeared in a government document, we have no proof that that was its first use and that Miralles had a work for hire agreement in place. Without a work for hire agreement, his copyright would have come into being when the image was created, before it was published by the government. .     Jim . . .

This file was uploaded from Shirley Jones' account redhen34, with my help (she's 88). The photograph is of her working c.1983. She entered it as her own work and then was told that it couldn't be because it was a photo of her. This is true and on discussion we established that the photograph was actually taken by her husband, Ken Jones (91), who is still living. On Shirley Jones' behalf (she's my mother), I subsequently tried to change the information to show that it was taken by Ken Jones. This was either overlooked, or was considered insufficient, since the file has now been deleted.

I would like to see the file restored, since it was being used on Shirley Jones' Wikipedia page. This is a page I initially created and have been helping to edit, having first declared a Conflict of Interest and submitted the draft article for review to ensure my actions were reasonable and appropriate.

In relation to the deleted image, my father is happy to provide an email confirming that he took the photograph, that it is his copyright and that he wishes the photograph to be made available on Wikimedia on a creative commons licence. He is not, however, up to creating an account himself and uploading the photograph himself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Evan T Jones (talk • contribs) 17:06, 3 September 2023‎ (UTC)

Uploads by Px820

These were all uploaded in May 2006:

Per COM:GOF, these uploads predate the creation of OTRS. While GOF deals primarily with uploading the works of others, I think the same principle applies to claims of "own work" where we would otherwise require verification in this day and age. Under GOF, we allow the uploader to simply insert a quote of the permission statement on the file description without the need for hard evidence. Likewise, I think we can assume that the uploader Px820 is the owner of the personal website http://px820.onmitsu.jp/ which is linked from almost all of their photos. There's no difference between these five photos and the others, so either they all stay up or they all get deleted. -- King of ♥ 00:54, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: As mentioned at the DR and on the deleting administrator's talk page, there is evidence of use of the emblem design from 1970, and until 1997 the copyright term of Algerian works was 25 years. Thus, its copyright would have expired by 1996, which is before the date of URAA restoration or the new Algerian copyright law of 1997, which non-retroactively extended protection periods to 50 years. Links to all the mentioned legislation can be found at COM:Algeria. Since this was such a highly-used image across projects, I think it is worth taking a second look. Felix QW (talk) 10:12, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

The question here is what law applies to a work produced around 1970 in Algeria. Algeria became independant in 1962 but the first copyright law was passed only in 1973. Should we apply the previous French law or the 1973 Algerian law? I would presume it's the later but clarification is needed here. Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 06:45, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
The transition regulations of the 1973 law abrogate all previous regulations on the matter in its Article 80, and the 1997 law are clear in that they replace any previous legal regulations, but only for those works whose copyright term has not ended (Art. 159 there). This should necessarily lead to the situation in which its copyright expired before 1996 and was not revived thereafter. Felix QW (talk) 06:54, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
There 's a parallel discussion going on at Commons talk:Deletion requests/File:National Emblem of Algeria.svg. From 1973 law [2], the copyright for Algerian works ended 25 years after the author's death. Do we have information on the original author of the emblem? If the author is unknown, and we want to apply {{PD-old-assumed}}, I'm afraid that we must wait until 170 + 25 +50 years = 2045, without counting URAA. --Ruthven (msg) 11:12, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
I do not have access to the deleted file, but from the information provided there, apparently the file was a recent vectorized rendering, not free. If so, then the file could have been deleted for that simple reason. However, the deletion discussion got sidetracked into other considerations, the Algerian law, the concept of the emblem and other renderings of it (actually an interesting topic, continued on the talk page, but it had the effect of a distraction in the discussion of this particular recent rendering). Thus, instead of judging specifically the recent rendering in the nominated file, the deletion discussion seemed to judge the concept of the emblem and/or another, old rendering of it, and applied to the latter the Algerian copyright law of 1997. In short, there may have been two problems in the deletion discussion, but they sort of canceled each other, so in the end the deletion can be ok, although it currently does not have the right rationale, IMHO. -- Asclepias (talk) 14:23, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

 Oppose You ask, "I don’t see why this image can’t be undeleted so it can be used?" It is a copyrighted logo and there is no evidence that the copyright holder has freely licensed it.

The undeletion discussion in the following section is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive.

The reasons given for deletion are not true and complete fabrications for some unknown reason.

Reasons for removal in a request from Omphalographer were: "Out of scope: collection of awkwardly printed spreadsheets about the author's perceived "price patterns" in various stocks and commodities. Unused, no clear educational use".

Please look at the file to verify that it is clearly & obviously not "out of scope", the file is not "printed" at all so it cannot be "awkwardly printed". These datasets on the spreadsheet come directly from stock charts also contained in the file downloaded from StockCharts.com that clearly illustrate, confirm & verify all data contained in the spreadsheet. Many people are interested in studying & utilizing The Price Pattern Coordinates System, to understand price patterns better so therefore it certainly has great "educational use" and multiple applications for advanced research and analysis.

To address additional reasons:

"1. The sources of the data are missing. The uploader claims these files are his/her own work, but were did (s)he get is the data from?" Answer: The source of the data is StockCharts.com and "Price Pattern Coordinates" books on amazon.com.

"2. There is no explanation about the codes that are mentioned." Answer: The "codes" are actually Price Pattern Coordinates and the spreadsheets are meant for those who have some familiarity with The Price Pattern Coordinates System. The complaint was filed by someone who might be a bit ignorant and probably never heard of this relatively new advanced system of technical analysis.

"3. There is no clue about a timeline, not in the tables and not in the graphs (I do not see for instance months on the X-axis)."

Answer: A quick glance at the file will show that the stock ticker and exact date are listed in the first column of the spreadsheet. Ex. $TNX20220131 means $TNX (US 10-Yr Treasury Bond) & 20220131 means (January 31, 2022). I guess the person who complained didn't understand that although I believe I explained it it in the notes about the file. The "X-axis" is actually contained on the chart. Please look into this misunderstanding and thank you for considering my appeal.

 Oppose I agree with most of the comments in the DR. In the first item, there is a graph which is split between two pages. In all of them, columns of data are split between multiple pages. All of those without graphs would be better created in Wiki markup.

Also, a search on "The Price Pattern Coordinates System" yields only advertising for a consultancy that uses that name. Aside from the technical problems noted above, I think this looks very much like advertising for the consultancy..     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:03, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I would like to request the undeletion of an emblem that was created here as an amateur version that should be under a CC. It has been on the platform since 2008 or even earlier. This emblem is a remake of the original version, which is the coat of arms of Algeria since 1976. It seems that all emblems here follow a similar pattern, they are all a remake version. Even if we consider that it's an amateur work under a CC isn't enough. In the laws of the country, the image should be in the public domain according to the 10-year protection period for works prior to 1987. This template may lead to confusion as it only mentions photographs, while the full decree also mentions applied arts. I understand that the fact that an image has been present since 2008 or earlier isn't necessarily an argument, but since that time, the image has been used in numerous articles and places. It is obvious that if there were any issues, a user would have noticed it and nominated it for deletion. I will notify @Reda Kerbouche who is well-informed about the specific laws of Algeria. Thank you for taking the time and effort to read my request and analyze the context. I appreciate your attention to this matter. Regards, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riad Salih (talk • contribs)

@Riad Salih: see also #File:National Emblem of Algeria.svg above. The 1973 law indeed create a 10-year protection of "photographs and applied art" (the second is not explicitely defined in the law) and a 25-year protection otherwise. In both case, the emblem would be in public domain both in Algeria and US. But (like the other DR and UR) does this emblem fall under the 1973 law? It essentially the same file in both case (one with colour, the other without) and the design was made sometime before 1970 (real date is unknown).
Even if we consider amateur work, it is still a derivative work of the original, so original protection still applies.

This work has survived three DRs, see Commons:Deletion requests/File:Bottomless sukumizu girl.jpg. Deleting this work with the vague message of "Per COM:SPEEDY." is completely out of line.--Prosfilaes (talk) 17:51, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

This is the text of the speedy "(This is a nudity/sex/porn related image. Please be aware.)
This has been up for deletion several times over the course of several years, with arguments for keeping it stating that it's a skin colored bikini bottom, some claiming that the depicted character is 'past puberty.' The categories that this image is in clearly suggest otherwise. And, for anyone who wants to nitpick the category of 'adolescent girls,' adolescent is still legally considered a child.
This image holds no educational or encyclopedic value. The art is poor quality as well, which is evidenced by the fact that there's any debate as to what she is wearing or not wearing. However, there's zero visual indication of any clothing on the lower half, not even basic clothing border lines. There's also the fact that someone saw fit to add it to the 'female bottomlessness in art' category, which proves that the 'skin colored bottom' argument is invalid. Anyone you show this to outside of the internet will definitively call this child porn.

I believe the PD-Bolivia license was correct. Bolivia is a 50 years from creation jurisdiction for images. The deleter said it was needed to show when the image was "published for the first time", which is incorrect for jurisdiction which start the clock at creation. --RAN (talk) 03:16, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

 Info That is not what Template:PD-Bolivia says regarding duration of copyright. Thuresson (talk) 04:37, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
 Comment If I understand article 19 of this (copyright law of Bolivia) correctly, there is a provision for certain collective works (among them collective photographic works and collective audiovisual works) to be protected for 50 years from first publication, or for 50 years from creation if unpublished within those 50 years. I don't see any evidence that this is a "collective work", nor anything about publication or it being anonymous. This page claims the photo is from the late 1930s, so the year to base any calculations on would be 1939. But in general, more information is needed to determine the copyright status (like: is a photographer known? When and where was it first published?) Without that information, undeletion would be ok in 2060 with PD-old-assumed. Also, 1939 means possible US copyright restoration by the URAA would need to be checked. --Rosenzweig τ 11:24, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
As long as we have evidence that it was anonymous and published before 1946 or the photographer died before 1946, it would be in the clear as far as copyright. It is possible this is the case, but we don't have enough evidence of this. Abzeronow (talk) 15:39, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

✓ Done: PD-Bolivia + PD-1996 is OK here. He is certainly less than 40 in this picture, so this from before 1955, and probably much earlier. And it was most probably, either published at the time, or unpublished, so 50 years from first publication, or for 50 years from creation if unpublished within those 50 years fits the case. --Yann (talk) 09:25, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Harichand Thakur is a historical figure in our region but unfortunately there is no depiction of his face without this one. Nobody didn't even know clearly that who drew this picture long before ago. So, it is really impossible to know about the author of this work. But this picture is widely used by everybody as the only surviving picture of Harichand Thakur. So, in this case, I want an undeletion of this photo from Wikimedia commons. If any additional data should be edited, you may edit but keep this picture.

In order to prove this image PD status, we need an evidence that it was published more than 95 years ago or that it was PD in Bangladesh at the URAA date (January 1, 1996) [eg. anonymous publication that was more than 50 years old at that date]. Otherwise, we need a {{Cc-by-sa-4.0}} license directly from the painter or painter's heirs. In Wikimedia Commons we do not host Fair Use images or images with unclear copyrights status.

Reason: This logo is widely used by students of Govt Bangabandhu College, though the author of this work is unknown. It is not possible to find out the author as this logo is being used from very opening time of the college. I am using for fair use and I have no business purpose. More importantly, which source Turelio has been cited is baseless because www.gbc.studentpay.net is never the owner or copyright holder of this work. AkashRoy27 (talk) 06:30, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

 Oppose Fair Use images are not accepted in Wikimedia Commons. If the logo is PD, please provide an evidence that it was available to the public more than 95 years ago. [This is "old enough" in US copyright terms.] The webpage was provided to prove that you are not the original author of the logo as you claimed at upload.

User accounts in Wikimedia are personal.

Can you elaborate where can we found an evidence that the Wikimedia user "Fuad Hsn" is the original author of the logo?

 Oppose As you say, your claim of being the actual photographer was not correct. Please don’t make that mistake again.

The fact that your company has a paper or digital copy of the photograph says nothing about whether your company has the right to freely license it. That right is almost always held by the actual photographer. In order to restore the image here, either (a) the actual photographer must send a free license using VRT or (b) an authorized representative of your company must send a free license together with a copy of the written agreement with the actual photographer which gives your company the right to freely license it. .     Jim . . .

@Ankry and Yann: Hmm, do we have evidence of prior publication? If not, then there’s no email address that this work can be provably associated with. Currently, we have a high-res photo with EXIF claimed to be own work by a random internet identity. If we get an email from VRT, we will still have a high-res photo with EXIF claimed to be own work by a random internet identity. We shouldn’t ask for VRT unless we have a clear idea of what specific kind of evidence we are seeking and why it cannot be obtained on-wiki. – King of ♥ 20:10, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

My name is Amin. Yesterday I received a message from a Wiki administrator, claiming that I had uploaded a photo to Wikipedia “primarily for the purpose of insulting, demeaning, or defaming a person..”.. The administrator deleted the photo without giving me a opportunity to discuss it.

The administrator deleted the photo based on assumptions that were incorrect. I had uploaded that photo with the full permission of my friend, and it was intended to inform, and not to insult or defame anyone. My friend who was in the picture and I both had a laugh about it. By now you must be curious about the photo. As it has been deleted by the administrator, you can still see a screenshot here, on a tweet that happened to go a bit viral, and my reply-tweet here.

I feel the administrator was wrong to delete the photo without any discussion. I would like to restore it. What would be my next step to do that? I welcome any help.

And if the administrator was right to delete it, I could accept that too. But I’d like to understand his arguments better. Because right now I feel they’re based on false assumptions and accusations. Small things like this slowly suck the fun out of reading and editing Wikipedia.

(I also posted about this in the Commons Teahouse which you can read here)

this is one of the many post that have been tagged as not having permission from the author

the author is unknown (as I found it off a facebook post), and the image has been made on 16th of july, 1939. Researched macedonian copyright laws, saw it takes 70 years after the author's death, and calculated 2023-70=1953. This image was taken WAY before 1953, so that's the main reason I believe that it should be undeleted.

 Oppose If the photographer is anonymous, then a 1939 image would have been PD in North Macedonia in 2009. If the photographer is not anonymous, then the PD date would be later.

@Jameslwoodward: Please read the template I mentioned above. Prior to 1978, copyright duration was 25 years for pictures, so this attained the public domain in 1965, before the URAA date. Yann (talk) 18:47, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
(Edit conflict) @Yann: but it was 50 years since publication not 50 years since creation. If the publication on FB was the first publication of a photo from private collection, it may be still copyrighted in North Macedonia till 1.1.2091. I see no reason to assume that this personal photo was published soon after creation. Ankry (talk) 18:59, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

I don’t believe that the flags are calling my uploaded images as “logos”. Alexphangia Talk 17:20, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
The original designs are OK, but these are copied from crwflags.com. Not sure this is fine. I won’t oppose undeletion, but other opinions are welcome. Yann (talk) 18:12, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
Well, for example the flag of the Netherlands is way to simple and it belongs to PD-shape, striking this image from crwflags is useless. Alexphangia Talk 08:38, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
And is the flags are public domain, Slovenian crw flag images should also be public domain by the law. Alexphangia Talk 08:40, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
 Oppose Unless they are too simple to have a copyright, all of these have copyrights owned by the CRW creator. That is a general rule for works containing a coat of arms – individual renditions of the COA have a copyright belonging to the creator. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:24, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
@Rosenzweig and Jameslwoodward: the general rule don’t seem to apply here. And if it does, we should change {{PD-Slovenia-exempt}}. BTW, this request is about the flag, not the CoA (who have been - inconsistently - kept…). Also, more importantly, it seems that it’s indeed CRW that copied Wikimedia Commons in the first place… (https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/si-001.html#emb says the CoA is from 2010 but File:Coat of arms of municipality of Ajdovščina.png is from 2009 and has Croatian Academic and Research Network has source) If I’m not mistaken and if there is no objection, then I’ll undelete these flags.

I object. The only element of the flags that has a copyright is the COAs and, as I said, individual realizations of COAs always have a copyright unless below the ToO. You say “the general rule doesn’t seem to apply here.” Why not? What evidence do you have for this assertion? Also, I note that the home page of the Croatian Academic and Research Network has an explicit copyright notice, so if that is the ultimate source of one or more of these flags, they are probably not copyright free. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:42, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

@Jameslwoodward: my “evidence” is that law applies beore general principle, and especially that the local law applies. I’m also assuming that {{PD-Slovenia-exempt}} is correct (especailly the point 2 and its comment, which is not unusual, PD-GOV is sometime extended to other official documents, including but not limited to the CoA).
If we follow your reasoning, then you should ask the CoA for deletion as well as {{PD-Slovenia-exempt}}.
For the CoA, either CRW copied Wikimedia or w:CARNET (the source of Wikimedia files themselves) but in both case, for the flags, « all of these have copyrights owned by the CRW creator. » is false as - as you said yourself - « The only element of the flags that has a copyright is the COAs ».
Finally, Željko Heimer website (previously on CARNET) is just gathering CoA (and creating flags out of it?) from the official website. These websites are following the local law, making the CoA free.
An example to make it more clear: File:Coat of arms of municipality of Ajdovščina.png has for source http://public.carnet.hr/fame/hrvat/si-obc01.html#si-aj wich is now https://zeljko-heimer-fame.from.hr/descr/si-obc01.html#si-aj90 where the CoA is just a 2005 copy from http://www.ajdovscina.si and from a 1990 official decree. I didn’t checked all files but most seems to be in the same situation.
Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 15:03, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
https://zeljko-heimer-fame.from.hr/descr/si-obc01.html#si-aj90 has:
”Copyright © 1996-2017 by Zeljko Heimer. All rights reserved.”
Yes, I think {{PD-Slovenia-exempt}} is incorrect in that while the blazons of CoAs are copyright exempt, individual representations require interpretation of the blazon and such interpretations have copyrights which belong to the creator. It is certainly possible that the creator of these has released them under CC-0 or that the creator was a government employee which might make them free, but so far the trail leads to an explicit copyright notice. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:42, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
@Jameslwoodward: but Zeljko Heimer is not the creator of the CoA, so it’s copyfraud and the copyright claim doesn’t mean anything. The source is the city (which give very detail instruction - including the exact Pantone colour - it’s more a logo than a CoA, which may or mya not make a legal difference).
Do you have proof of your interpretation of the Slovenian law? Maybe @TadejM: (who wrote this sentence in the template) could give more details.
Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 20:17, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
As I have been pinged: I don’t object to the undeletion of those CoAs that are either too simple or meet the {{PD-Slovenia}} criteria (i.e. they were published under state/municipal jurisdiction as part of the official text, its annex or independently). The study referenced in the template explicitly states that under the said article a work qualifies as free if published ‘v okviru uradnih pristojnosti’ (p. 28), which means that a CoA should be considered free if published ‘in the context of official competences’. However, if a CoA has only been published on CRW, in the absence of proof to the contrary, it should be considered copyrighted to CRW. Here, it doesn’t matter whether the site owner created it from a blazon or derived it from an image published by the municipality as long as it meets the criteria for an author’s work. --TadejM (t/p) 21:22, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
@Alexphangia: you indicated CRW as the source but CRW is a secondary database so it can be the real source here. Could you *for each file* indicate the true source? It would help a lot.
@TadejM: does a municipal website count as an exception under the Slovenian law? Or does it have to be explicitely an official municipal law? (I think it’s also the case, but see my previous point).
Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 06:33, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
I don't think all content published on municipal websites should be considered free. There was no copyright-related case in Slovenia regarding municipal coats of arms, but there was a case in Slovenian High Court regarding questionnaires for final exams in Slovenian grammar schools. They were considered public domain as they had been prepared and published under an official procedure with official conclusions (please see the footnotes on p. 31). Per analogy, this would lead me to consider municipal coats of arms public domain if they had been published following an official procedure, for example as a part of the municipal charter (example). In any case, please note again that the case law is lacking and the court could finally decide differently. --TadejM (t/p) 18:15, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Assuming this was an accident, for some reason a screenshot I uploaded from a Voice of America (VOA) video was removed. The content produced by VOA is under a public domain license, as the official broadcaster of the Federal government. The screenshot was apparently removed along with a swath of other media that was in fact produced by the Thai Government (which does not produce public domain media) that was uploaded by User:Kohptrp2023. What’s weird is I cannot find the screenshot in the list (the file’s deletion entry) of other deleted media that it was apparently included with. The media uploaded was from VOA only and not other sources, and is thus licensed under the public domain. Bobertrobert0709 (talk) 03:38, 20 September 2023 (UTC) {{PD-USGov-VOA}}

@Bobertrobert0709 Do you have a link to the source in VOA? Notice that only the content produced by VOA is public domain and some of their articles and videos have third party content with a different licensing. This is made clear in their T&C. For example, the images in this article are from Reuters. Günther Frager (talk) 18:48, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
 Info the source provided at upload is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBaFgyPv1OE Ankry (talk) 19:35, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
 Support I checked the link provided by Ankdry and there is no mention to other news agencies like Reuters or AP. The YT video has no CC-BY mark and it is understandable if VOA release their content to the pubic domain. One can also find the same video here where VOA terms and conditions apply. The reporter is Vijitra Duangdee and seems to be a freelance journalist. VOA has an office in Bangkok [9], so the footage is more than likely to belong to VOA.

Hi,

The file could be find in the Locust's github code repository at the address:https://github.com/locustio/locust/blob/master/locust/static/img/logo.png The whole project is release under The MIT license (https://github.com/locustio/locust/blob/master/LICENSE) so I guess the logo is covered by it, no? Is this licence is not compatible with wikicommons? I pretty sure I could ask the original creator more info if needed.

I upload another image from this repository: File:Locust-screenshot 2.13.1.png, should I add more details so it won't be deleted ?

 Question This file was originally transferred here from en:File:The sun1.jpg (the file was restored there today). Are we sure this is the own work of the original uploader en:User:Lykaestria? It was originally uploaded with just a GFDL license tag, without any authorship information or claim of "own work" etc. Which may have been the norm at en.wp in 2005, just checking. The 2017 "no permission" tags may have been because of that, or because of some other later file versions (seen as potential copyvios, uploaded by others) overwriting the original file. --Rosenzweig τ 14:53, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
@Rosenzweig: Standards were definitely more lax then. In fact, prior to 2007 we didn't even require COM:VRT for files not claimed to be own work, for the obvious reason that VRT didn't exist (see COM:GOF). I think we can assume that any file from that era lacking an explicit authorship claim, which is reasonably likely to have been own work (based on a combination of factors such as the subject matter and the uploader's track record), is in fact own work. -- King of ♥ 15:48, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
