File:Somorjai Martina 2.jpg

This is my own photo of Martina Somorjai I have used the same photo for several internet articles. Martina Somorjai specifically agreed that I can use this photo of her on various media platforms. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harsoga (talk • contribs) 22:57, 21 December 2023‎ (UTC)

This was a F10 speedy deletion but this shouldn't have been deleted under that since subject is notable since there is an article on Hungarian Wikipedia about them. hu:Somorjai Martina. Abzeronow (talk) 00:30, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
This looks like a selfie, so we need the permission from Martina Somorjai for a free license. Could you please ask her to send the permission via COM:VRT? Yann (talk) 16:59, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

 Not done: Per Yann. Note that "permission to use the image on various platforms" is far more restrictive than what we require. Freely licensing it to anyone for any use is a far broader license. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:13, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

File:Indépendance République du Congo.png

Per [2], User:Kani Beat says that the image was originally published on his own Facebook page and that he is, indeed, the holder of the rights. (But I don't see it at https://www.facebook.com/kantchapi.cmosa, which I assume is the Facebook page in question; Kani, correct me if I'm wrong about that). I'm trying to work out the best way to move forward. My suggestion is that the simplest thing would be if he can make the relevant image public on his Facebook page (if it isn't already), be explicit in a comment there about offering the license, and link to that post. Assuming Facebook was first publication, the original timestamp of the post should establish when it was posted. Or do we really need to go through the full-blown COM:VRT process? - Jmabel ! talk 23:53, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

I generally agree with arguments provided in its DR: it is a derivative work of earlier posters. If the uploader is the original author also of the earlier versions, COM:VRT may be an option. But we cannot verify this on-wiki.  Oppose here.Ankry (talk) 15:28, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

This also applies to other recently deleted logos, such as:

These files were deleted under F1, even though the F1 criteria do not apply there and these are logos for parties that had been dissolved over a decade ago. There was never a deletion nomination for them and so they appear to have been deleted arbitrarily.

@Brat Forelli: Where do the Creative Commons CC-0 license come from? Thuresson (talk) 17:32, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
Hello, thank you for your answer!
The party behind this political party was deregistered in 2007 and all the rights waived; the logo was shown to the media in 2006, and the upload file is a reconstruction of it (the logo can be seen here: [3]). Brat Forelli (talk) 17:52, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
The CC-0 license was released in 2009, hence I am not convinced that anybody can use these logos without permission from the copyright owner. Thuresson (talk) 18:16, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
@Brat Forelli: Copyright for such works expire 70 years after initial publication. Till then, we need a free license permission from a legal successor of the party (whoever they are) or from the logo designer. Ankry (talk) 03:37, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Erroneous deletion. This is already repeated deletion of various files that have permissions and which then have to be restored regularly. The license of these files is correct, uploaded by the author. The General Viacheslav Trubnikov.jpg file's metadata shows that this is the original photo of the author, taken from a phone.

File:Critical race theory book display.jpg

This file, imported from Flickr, is a photograph of a display table at a university with books pertinent to critical race theory. There is a simple sign reading "critical race theory" with an all-black fist that does not rise above com:TOO. It was deleted under the claim that the book covers are not de minimis, which I assert is an overly restrictive reading of the policy.

The situation is most analogous to the Copyrighted work X is identifiable and an unavoidable part of the subject, and is essential to the subject (e.g. blacking it out would make the file useless) but the work is shown in insufficient detail and/or with insufficient clarity, so de minimis may apply category, which has two examples of works with a similar level of detail — File:Banners CIMG0256.jpg and File:Museu Valencià de la Il·lustració i la Modernitat, interior.jpg — that were ultimately kept. In those works, like this one, the copyrighted objects are plentiful but small and partially obscured (in this case by other titles or by lighting glare), and the purpose of the image is clearly to show the ensemble as a whole as well as its context (a library setting in this case) rather than the individual works. As such, they qualify under a sensible reading of de minimis. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 03:55, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

  •  Support undeletion as initiator. I additionally request that the file be temporarily undeleted to help facilitate discussion by allowing other participants to see the size and visibility of the books within the image. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 03:55, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Those other two have barely-legible, obscure, and/or small protected items. In this case, multiple whole protected items (book covers) are clearly visible in high detail. DMacks (talk) 04:09, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

This is a photo with a realistic educational purpose and that can be used for any purpose, including:

I checked all past messages left by the editor who deleted the photo. The only reasonable accusation is that the photo was previously published.

"This file is a copyright violation for the following reason: Photo: Tottenham Hotspur

This file is a copyright violation because it comes from: https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2022/05/24/son-heung-min-describes-big-honour-of-winning-seventh-best-footballer-in-asia-award/ Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing."

I have defended that the photo is our own work. John Macauly, the reporter of the National News who is our friend, used this photo with our approval. The publisher don't have the copyright, which is owned by us.

Overall: the photo meets all criteria for publication in wikipedia.

File:Mickey_Mouse_-_The_Haunted_House.webm

Due to Steamboat Willie, the first released cartoon featuring Mickey Mouse, falling into the public domain, this file no longer violates Commons copyright policy. And thus can be reinstated. (See my previous deletion request.) Mayhair (talk) 18:12, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - The Haunted House was published on 2 December 1929 and the copyright was registered on 12 February 1930. US Copyright for a 1929 publication, if renewed, expires 95 years after publication, i.e. in 2025 (1929 + 95 + 1). The deleted file has a {{PD-US-not renewed}} copyright tag, so presumably the uploader believes this cartoon was not renewed. However, it was renewed on 7 August 1957 (R199639). It can be undeleted in 2025. —RP88 (talk) 18:17, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

File:Woman shot in her bedroom in Kfar Aza by Hamas on October 7.jpg

Why was it deleted one day after the nomination? The nominator has made certain claims about the copyright status of the bodycam footage but did not give the original uploader or others time to respond. Tagging Zero0000 as the nominator, Mhhossein as the closer, Omphalographer who participated in the discussion. Btw how can I tag the uploader? Alaexis (talk) 23:14, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Woman shot in her bedroom in Kfar Aza by Hamas on October 7.jpg was the DR, and I agree with the nominator in that there is no proof this is from a bodycam, and we don't know if Israel is like the US as far as CCTV or like the UK. There was a good point in that the person wearing the bodycam can chose when to turn it on, and can chose where to point it so it would functionally be similar to a handheld camcorder. Abzeronow (talk) 23:32, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
@Alaexis: Actually I nominated it on Dec 22 and it was deleted on Dec 27. That's not one day. There was plenty of time to respond. Zero0000 (talk) 01:14, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
Apologies, for some reason I thought it was nominated on 27th. I'll try to check the copyright status of bodycam footage in Israel. Alaexis (talk) 19:17, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
@Alaexis: That would be good. I read several detailed articles on Israeli copyright law without finding an explicit answer. In any case, this photo is unacceptable regardless because there is no evidence it is a bodycam photo. Investigators don't use bodycams to document crime scenes.

File:Minskip 2 September 2023 (137).JPG

I cannot see the picture, so cannot be sure which one it is, but there have been a number of requests for deletion, referencing images from my photoshoot at a village called Minskip, which was holding a scarecrow festival. The theme for the festival was Disney. Because the reason for deletion was given as "toys" in this case, I think this picture may be the one of two stuffed animals, made to look like dalmatian dogs, that is, dogs with black spots on a white background.

The two dogs were slightly different from each others, therefore almost certainly hand-made, like the rest of the festival exhibits. The dalmatians looked as if they were just representatives of dalmatians, that is, they did not imitate in any way the cartoon-designs by Disney in their film of the book. In the UK we often see the real dogs on the street, and it is common to see dalmatian-shaped objects which have nothing to do with Disney. There is no reason to suppose that the householder who made those dogs were interested in copyright, because they had displayed the dogs on the street, where we in the UK have panoramafreiheit, and in scarecrow festivals, all the passers-by are photographing the exhibits. So please confirm which picture this is, because if it's the dalmatians, I do not believe they are commerical orbjects or copyrighted, and they are certainly nothing to do with Disney's own designs. Disney cannot copyright images of the real dogs. Also the book, 101 Dalmatians, is popular here - it is read in schools - so it is highly likely that the objects refer to that story, i.e. the idea of real dalmatians. Thank you.

Jim, this is not a sculpture, it is very simple plush. Yann (talk) 21:23, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
Nonetheless, it has a copyright as a sculpture. It is nowhere near simple enough to not have a copyright. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:45, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
I guess from the above comments that the photograph concerned is the one of the bee, not the dogs?
This and this should answer your question on UK copyright laws regarding toys.
A photograph of a toy is not an infringement of copyright in the UK. Panoramafreiheit in the UK covers anything photographed from the public highway. The "permanent exhibition" element is about panoramafreiheit in museums, but a scarecrow exhibition photographed from the public highway is not a museum.
The one-off, handcrafted example in my above links is about a registered and patented original design example made by an artist for potential factory manufacture and sale. But manufactured toys are not copyrighted against photography in the UK, and neither are stuffies (as I believe you call them in the US) handmade by mothers and kids at home.
It also looks as if there are some misunderstandings in the above comments, about what we are doing on Commons (regarding the UK). We are licensing free use of our 2D images, including for commercial use. That is to say, the public can use our 2D photographs. We cannot be held responsible for what the public does about what they can see in the picture. For example, suppose that a criminal decides to copy that bee, handmade by the mother and child residents and not copyrighted (after all, who copyrights a stuffie?) Even if the criminal is a stuffie-design expert, they cannot know the shape of the base-piece, or how many darts and spacer pieces are used, or where they are used, if at all, or the exact size of the thing, or how exactly the face is created. This is because they can only see one aspect of the 3D object.
I have made stuffies all my life (called stuffed animals in the UK) - it is part of my background culture - but I could not expect to copy that item well enough so that an observer of both objects in real life could not tell the difference between my work and the original. This is one of the reasons why the law makes a differentiation between photographs of 2D objects and 3D objects for copyright purposes in the UK. So I think what is happening here is a US-oriented reaction to UK photographs, while referencing only US law. This platform respects the existence of international laws regarding copyright, e.g. panaoramafreiheit. Storye book (talk) 12:11, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
I'm not sure whether FOP-related questions can be accounted for toys. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 13:50, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
First, the bee certainly has a copyright. In both the UK and the US toys are copyrighted as if they were sculptures and in both countries copyright attaches automatically upon creation. Second, as clearly noted at the top of this discussion, the sculpture was displayed as part of a scarecrow festival. In the UK, FoP requires that the work be displayed permanently. That is clearly not the case here.
As for CDPA section 51, cited above, it allows people to make 3D copies of the design, but is absolutely silent on making photographs of the design. Note also, that even if the UK law allowed the photograph, US law does not. The note above assumes that only UK law applies here. That is not the case. Photographs on Commons must be free in both the USA and the country of origin. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:46, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
Thanks to Storye book above, it is clear than industrial produced items like this do not have a copyright. If such a simple toy would have a copyright, it would be similar to having a copyright on an idea, and ideas do not have a copyright. No toy like this could ever be made, because they would be derivative works of each others. This is obviously not the case, therefore there is no copyright on these.

File:Geographic place names changed as part of Black History Compilation Project (33044619471).jpg

I'm wondering about this image, is it able to be reinstated? It was deleted for no license, but the Flickr upload (by the Government of New Brunswick) is categorized as Public Domain. If it's able to be reinstated, I'd like to use it for a future BLP of somebody in the image. Thanks. B3251 (talk) 17:29, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

The Flickr metadata shows the photographer is Michael Hawkins at https://wordphoto.ca/ and thus is not actually a work of New Brunswick's government. Metadata also shows "all rights reserved". We'd need VRT permission from Hawkins to restore. Abzeronow (talk) 17:44, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for letting me know! B3251 (talk) 17:46, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
Since New Brunswick always uploads images to Flickr as PD, is it pretty much hit or miss on whether it's available for use or not? (whether it has an original photographer or not) @Abzeronow B3251 (talk) 17:50, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
This sort of organizational flickr account is often poorly managed. They may have a mix of courtesy photos, some presumably political staff photos, unsourced photos. This flickr account seems to have its copyright settings stuck on an unexplained "public domain mark" regardless of the provenance of each file. I would not automatically trust the copyright info from this account. You can evaluate and research on a case by case basis. Most photos may be legitimately owned and released by the NB gov, but it's difficult to know for sure which are and which are not. With substantial exif data, at least you can contact the photographer, as with the Hawkins photo, to check the copyright status and maybe obtain a free license. Photos without substantial exif data cannot be automatically trusted. You can try to find the origin. For example, this photo, posted to the flickr account on 6 November 2023, is a photo published on 3 October 2023 by NBMEF inc. on their all rights reserved website. -- Asclepias (talk) 18:57, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

File:Nationa Anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina.oga

Reason: You are misinterpreting the Constitution and laws of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

  • As I stated in the file under "Permission": "The National Anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as the official national anthem of the country, does not claim copyright in the sense that it would be available for commercial use or reproduction without permission. It can be considered a public good and can be used in certain situations as free use." and "Typically, national anthems are used solely for official purposes and are not subject to the same copyright rules as commercial or artistic content. However, its use for commercial purposes, such as sale or commercial reproduction, usually requires appropriate permission or approval from the relevant authorities or authors." are the correct interpretation of the Constitution and Laws of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
  • Dušan Šestić is the author (composer) of the work, but he has no copyright over that work. As stated in THIS DECISION of the Office of the High Representative (OHR) dated June 25, 1999, Article 4: "The copyright of the national anthem is retained by Bosnia and Herzegovina." So, he is the person who made the national anthem, but the owner of the work is Bosnia and Herzegovina.
  • Also in the same OHR decision, Article 1 clearly states "This law establishes the National Anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina (hereinafter: the anthem) and determines its use as a symbol of the State." This means that this is considered a symbol of Bosnia and Herzegovina, just like the FLAG, COAT OF ARMS and any other symbols, which are free to use by Wikipedia rules and laws of the country. If this file remains deleted for the same reason, you have to delete the flag, coat of arms and other symbols of the country because they fall under the same category BY LAW.

Note that, although the author is alive, he has no copyright over the work. His name is only mentioned as the composer of the piece and nothing more. The Country, Bosnia and Herzegovina, has full rights over the work, and it is not subject to copyright law because it is a symbol of that country. All participants of the public competition for the Selection of the National Anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina were told that if their work is selected, the copyright is transferred from them to the country of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Please educate yourselfs about these things before making any decisions. USA is not Bosnia and Herzegovina. Z1KA (talk) 22:51, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

This appears to be in response to Commons:Deletion requests/File:Nationa Anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina.oga (further, older DRs linked from there).
So, OK, you state: The copyright of the national anthem is retained by Bosnia and Herzegovina. The term will be the author's lifetime plus 70 more years, so given that statement it would seem that copyright exists, and is not public domain, even if it is owned by the government. You also state, However, its use for commercial purposes, such as sale or commercial reproduction, usually requires appropriate permission or approval from the relevant authorities or authors. Works uploaded here must be free to use for commercial purposes as well. Where was that permission given or licensed? While true that we have flag images, they are typically ones drawn by contributors -- see Commons:Coats of arms, where each particular drawing of a flag/seal can each have independent copyrights. We typically do not copy graphics from copyrighted government websites, but a new original drawing can be uploaded. When it comes to sound recordings, it gets a bit more difficult -- there is a copyright on the lyrics and music, and also a sound recording copyright for the particular recording. Even if the lyrics and music are licensed by the government, there can be a separate copyright on the particular recording, and someone would own that (not necessarily the government, unless it was a government-made recording). I don't see anything in {{PD-BH-exempt}} which would help. If the lyrics were printed as part of a law, maybe that makes those exempt, but less sure about the music, and definitely not the recording (can't see the deleted files, so not sure where the recordings were sourced from). National anthems have definitely been a sticky topic, since while true that non-commercial uses would often fall under fair use, it's the commercial uses which we have to have licenses for on Commons. While quite explicit that the author cannot give authorization, the government explicitly claims copyright ownership, so we have to have a way to show that general authorization was given for commercial use (and of the uploaded recording in particular).

Carl, the source for the performance links to nationalanthems.info Abzeronow (talk) 23:43, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
OK, so no lyrics, and that would be a free license for the recording. That site does not feel the music is copyrighted, though the Bosnian government claims copyright. So it comes down to that, and if people feel the government copyright should be used without a license for commercial use being given (as far as I can see).

Deleted because the publisher died less than 70 years ago, but the publisher is not the creator. The deleter wrote "Combier could be the author". We long ago made the decision for postcards published by CIM, that they were made by one of his many anonymous employees or came from one of the anonymous collections he purchased and republished. We have 220 images under the same license, yet the 221st image was deleted. The image was also released by the Brest Municipal Archive under a CC license, we generally honor the right of institutions to release under CC or "no known copyright restrictions" unless we have overwhelming evidence that their license is not legally binding.

The version shown in File:Legion-Condor-Badge-3rd-Squadron-Fighter-Group-88.jpg is probably close enough to Steamboat Willie to be OK. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:32, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Steamboat Willie isn't the only version of Mickey to enter the public domain. This was pointed out in a Twitter thread here and basically in 1928, this poster featuring Mickey was also published. His appearance on the poster matches with that of the other two emblems. The poster is also on Commons, here (yes, there's a deletion request going on for it, but everyone seems to agree that it was published in 1928 and it should be kept).
So based on the 1928 poster version, the other two emblems should also be restored. Alin2808 (talk) 18:23, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

The differences are subtle. I agree that File:Escadrila 53.png is probably OK as the eyes are similar to the poster. However the version in File:349th Bombardment Squadron - Emblem.png has ovals at the bottom of the eyes rather than the triangles seen mid-eye, so it is not yet PD. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 19:34, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Hmm, yes, you could also argue that the 'separate eyes' of the 349th emblem resemble the 1940s version more. I guess File:Escadrila 53.png and File:Legion-Condor-Badge-3rd-Squadron-Fighter-Group-88.jpg can still be safely restored. Alin2808 (talk) 04:51, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

File:Prokofiev-Nouvel.jpg

This file can be now undeleted, because Prokofiev is now in the public domain in Russia, since he died in 1953. Michalg95 (talk) 14:12, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

I saw a discussion on English WP with some people contesting that. See en:Talk:2024 in public domain. Yann (talk) 14:51, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

@Jameslwoodward: Are you suggesting that in which country of origin it is not PD? 1953+70+1=2024, so it is PD in 70pma countries. (I suppose that this letter originates from France.) Ankry (talk) 17:02, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
@Yann: The country of origin of this appears to be France, however should we consider that this was published upon upload rather than in 1928 since this is a letter? Abzeronow (talk) 18:58, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
Hmm. This is definitely {{PD-US-unpublished}}. I am not sure about the copyright in the country of origin. Yann (talk) 19:18, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
@Yann: Could you elaborate what are your doubts? Why do you think that 70pma does not apply? French extension foe people who died for France obviously does not apply here. Ankry (talk) 23:14, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
I don't know. I just report what others say on the page linked above. Commons:Deletion requests/File:Prokofiev-Nouvel.jpg also says it should be undeleted only in 2028. The issue is where and when it was published, if any time before Commons. May be Fleur-de-farine could say where they got it? There is no information about that in the file description. Yann (talk) 07:02, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

 Support Apologies -- I assumed the country of origin was Russia, but I see he was in Paris in 1928. Any French copyright has expired. The US copyright for works with a known author for works published after 2003 is 70 pma, so it is also PD in the USA no matter where it was first published. Although it is certainly possible that first publication was in some other country with a term longer than 70 years, I think we can assume that it is not the case.

@Yann: , the DR made the same mistake I did above -- assuming the country of origin was Russia. As I note above, that's possible, but I think we can ignore that small possibility. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 19:20, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

File:Brotherhood_Movie_Cover.jpg

Greetings to the house. A photo I uploaded was deleted immediately because of it's name without proper verification.

The photo is a movie cover and the proper credit was made (I never took credit) - Brotherhood(2022) is the movie's name and it was released in September 23,2022. The movie made more than 300 Million Naira and has ratings of 9.3/10 on NollyWire and 5.2/10 on IMDb which place the movie among The Most Grossed Movie In Nigeria.

The essence of the upload was to update the original Wikipedia page of The Movie which has no photo.

DISCLAIMER: The photo/movie is in no way in support with Cultism rather it educates it's viewers. it's about two brothers that chose different paths in Life.

@Bukarester: Probably support, but could you find Théophile Bradeau's death date? Yann (talk) 21:35, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
Information is unavailable, but
2024 - 70 = 1954
Life expectancy for a male in France in 1954 was 67.69 according to this
Means he must have been less than around 25.69 years old at the start of the construction of the hotel in 1912, which, as an established French architect who had the opportunity to build a world class hotel abroad, he was not.
My work can be deleted if you can prove otherwise. --Bukarester (talk) 18:48, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
@Bukarester: The file is deleted, so your permission is irrelevant at the moment.
It is up to the uploader to provide an evidence about the copyright status, not up to anybody else to prove otherwise.
Life expectancy is an average value; about 50% people is expected to live longer. Why do you think that he is in the other 50%? For unknown cases we have {{PD-old-assumed}} as a policy. But this needs us to wait till 2033. Ankry (talk) 00:07, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
It would be useful if we have a date when Théophile Bradeau started working. So if for example, he started working before 1900, we can assume that he died before 1954. Yann (talk) 07:16, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
At least, he is not in the database of death in France (from 1970 onwards). Yann (talk) 18:19, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
@Ankry I didn't know about {{PD-old-assumed}} being a rule, it's not mentioned or linked on any of the informative pages on the topic. I thought common sense would prevail - to have you understand my point from before, Bradeau couldn't have possibly been under 40 years old designing a project of such importance and technical/logistical difficulty in 1912. --Bukarester (talk) 13:23, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
Even if we agreed with this guess at Bradeau's age in 1912, he could have lived to 95 and died in 1967 per your logic. There are too many unknowns to be certain Bradeau died before 1954. Abzeronow (talk) 18:33, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose per Ankry. If we don't know the death date, the cutoff is 120 years from creation. So we would need to wait until 2033 unless a death date that we can verify is found or if Romania introduces a FoP that is acceptable to Commons. Abzeronow (talk) 00:13, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

File:Vereinsmagazin OuE - Titelblattbeispiel - Ausgabe 93.jpg

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

als Vorsitzender des Wissenschaftlichen Beirates der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Ordenskunde e. V. beantrage ich hiermit die Wiederherstellung des oben benannten Digitalisates mit nachfolgender Begründung: 1. Die Abbildung des Covers von Heft 93 des OuE-Magazins ist insoweit urheberrechtlich unbedenklich, da a) die Zeitschrift von der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Ordenskunde herausgegeben wird und daher keine Urheberrechtsverletzung vorliegt, d. h. die Rechte für die Veröffentlichung der Zeitschrift liegen automatisch bei der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Ordenskunde und b) die Farbabbildung auf dem Cover ist einer Publikation aus dem Jahr 1868, so dass auch hier alle Urheberrechte abgelaufen sind. Vor diesem Hintergrund bitte ich Sie, die Löschung der Abbildung rückgängig zu machen.

--MBPen (talk) 14:59, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

 Support The cover shows this 1857 illustration by Ludwig Burger, who died in 1884, so no copyright problems there. The logo on the upper left is File:DGOLogo.png, which is below COM:TOO Germany in my opinion. It's not older than 1974 though because the de:Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ordenskunde was founded in that year. --Rosenzweig τ 21:55, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

✓ Done: as per Rosenzweig. @DGO e.V. and MBPen: Please add categories. You could upload to Commons the source image mentioned above, it would be useful. --Yann (talk) 05:30, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

The image is that of my own copyright and was taken in 1961 while the subject of the photo was in the Government. As the image is under the copyright of me, and it's been 60+ years (as accordance to Indian copyright laws), there is no need to delete this image. --Captain AmericanBurger1775 (talk) 18:19, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

As I said in Commons:Deletion requests/File:HKL Bhagat Gov Photo.gif, it could be public domain in India, but there is also the matter of URAA which would have restored the U.S. copyright of this image. And the only way you could have the copyright to the photograph is if you were the photographer, which for a 1961 photograph I find unlikely. Abzeronow (talk) 19:10, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Reason: To me, this seems like a fairly reasonable case of Template:PD-textlogo, particularly considering the promotion (company) is American and in America, File:Cyberpunk 2077 logo.svg has been ruled to be below the threshold of originality.

The reason for deletion was "Possible copyvio: Logo of a professional wrestling company"; again it should be fine (in my view) it's tagged Template:PD-textlogo but also a Template:Trademark

All of this logo is (geometric) text in different colours; although the colours give the illusion of being "3D", it's still just 2D white text surrounded be two borders in two different colours.

The license distinguishes between "works of photographic art" and "simple photographs". It does not distinguish between commercial works and amateur works. For example this is a "work of photographic art": File:Salvador Dali A (Dali Atomicus) 09633u.jpg with elaborate staging and costuming. Works of art are in museums, as is the the Dali image. "Simple photographs" are sold to the sitter. Simply using a flash does not elevate a portrait to a work of art.

 Oppose Because User:Christiancarg could be anyone and we do get imposters, Commons Username policy requires that you confirm that you are actually the film maker. You can do that with an email from christiancargill@icloud.com to VRT or by noting your WP username in the "About" section of your web site. After you do that, a Commons volunteer will put a note on User:Christiancarg so you will not have to do it ever again ..     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:53, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

File:Portrait_de_Nicolas_&_Bruno.jpg

Bonjour, désolé je ne suis pas un spécialiste de wikipedia mais je ne comprends pas pourquoi la photo dont je suis l'auteur a été refusée sur la page de "Nicolas et Bruno" que j'actualise régulièrement.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_et_Bruno

Je me suis sans doute trompé dans la définition de la licence. Je souhaite que cette photo soit libre de droit, dans le domaine public, sans restriction d'un quelconque copyright.

Parallèlement on m'a informé que ma photo a été utilisée sur le site Focus-cinema, mais à l'époque avec mon autorisation. >>>> Reason for the nomination: file under copyright (See https://www.focus-cinema.com/7741868/what-we-do-in-the-shadows-vampires-entre-toute-intimite-sortira-fin-octobre-en-france/)

@FilmsChecker: Bonjour,
Avez-vous l'image originale ? Si oui, vous pourriez l'importer pour prouver que vous êtes bien le photographe. Si non, il faudra confirmer la licence par email en suivant la procédure à COM:VRT/fr. Cordialement, Yann (talk) 15:40, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

 Support undeletion of the deleted version as the uploader was able to upload the version with EXIF. However, this is probably not meaningfull at the momen as the original version is not deleted~and I see no reason to do so. Ankry (talk) 13:02, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Ankry has a valid point. Unless there is an indication from any uploaders site, appearances on other places doesn't matter. The higher version is here and the uploader is of course not spamming (or wrongly regarding others work as own). ─ The Aafī (talk) 20:40, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

File:Iris Browser.png

The logo does not appear to go over the threshold of originality. It is just a simple circle of shapes in a nondescript color of red with no other identifying features. Looking at the TOO page, a similar example logo that was allowed to be uploaded was the Car Credit City logo which is also just a series of shapes in the color red. The original deletion request also seems noncommittal about whether it, or the other logos included in the request, went over the threshold. I wish for this logo to be reinstated so I can put it on its article again for archival purposes. It's a defunct web browser for a defunct operating system made by a defunct company. --StreetcarEnjoyer (talk) 00:02, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

File:Mia Pečnik cropped.jpg

While the file was probably not uploaded quite right (sorry for that I am new to this) The owner of the picture is not the owner of the website I got the picture from, i just thought it to be mandatory to leave a link. The original photographer is Marko Pletikosa. Mia Pečnik (the person on the picture) is a personal friend and has allowed me to upload the picture. I highly doubt, that the website I named as source had permission to use it themselves. I am truly sorry for anything i have done.--SimonIMichel (talk) 01:48, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Undelete the page Sfurti Sahare, The user owns the copywrite of the image as she herself is the author of the book The Monkey Theory

--Sfurti Sahare (talk) 10:04, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Hello Wiki team,

This message is from Sae the PR Team of Sfurti Sahare. She is an respectable Indian author and is quite popular in youngsters for her work.

Some User has deleted her page saying below.

This file is a copyright violation for the following reason: https://www.amazon.co.uk/MONKEY-THEORY-Conquer-Mental-Chatter-ebook/dp/B09ZPT1WM5/ref=sr_1_7?crid=2SCY3VIAX48DC&keywords=the+monkey+theory&qid=1668851979&s=books&sprefix=the+monkey+theory%2Cstripbooks%2C321&sr=1-7 No indication that it's free to use Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Our response to it is,

1. The Author owns the Copywrite of the book and to prove this, we have added a document. Click to see the proof that we hold the copywrite. https://drive.google.com/file/d/19aMZv1O9lqMUDEFvBy-eUi4gWNwGhUkb/view?usp=drive_link

2. We are okay not using the images ( If that's the new rule) but we need to be undeleted as soon as possible. We are ready to follow the new guidelines too. Please need a positive revert on this Regards, Sae Supnekar--Sfurti Sahare (talk) 10:04, 11 January 2024 (UTC)- ( 11th January 2024) Team Sfurti Sahare www.sfurti.in

 Oppose This is probably about File:Sahare-MonkeyTheory-27547-CV-FT.jpg. I note that this image has been re-uploaded after its deletion. That is a violation of Commons rules. As a general rule, the copyright for a book cover is held by the publisher or the creator of the cover, not the author of the book, so the image cited above and also deleted today as a copyvio, proves nothing. In order for the image of the book cover to be restored, the actual holder of the copyright to the cover must send a free license using VRT.

Please also note Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Sfurti Sahare. Making false claims about authorship and re-uploading images after they were deleted is a very good way to be blocked from editing here. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:05, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

The drawing in the logo has its own copyright which is not related in any way to the age of the subject. The logo cannot be restored unless (a) the actual creator sends a free license using VRT, (b) you can show that the actual creator died before 1963, or (c) that the logo was created before 1913.

It is really absurd to delete a photograph with no trial. The photograph complies with Wikipedia policy, no one has evidence to disprove this because it is a fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sunday123321 (talk • contribs) 23:25, 14 January 2024‎ (UTC)

The photograph was previously published at https://www.imdb.com/name/nm15580086/mediaviewer/rm4177743617?ref_=nmmi_mi_all_pbl_5. You say it is your own work, which I assume means you are the photographer. Can you provide a higher resolution version of the photo (so we can tell that you didn't just take it from IMDB)? In any case, for previously published work, where you were not credited in the prior publication and there is no free license, we'd need you to go through the COM:VRT process. That team can handle confidential correspondence so you can establish with them (confidentially) who you actually are and that you took that photo. - Jmabel ! talk 03:06, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

File:Women Superstars United logo, 2019.png

Women Superstars United logo, 2019.png was speedily deleted via Template:Copyvio before I, the uploader, was even aware it had been marked. I think that it should have been nominated for deletion rather than speedily deleted so that a discussion over its licensing could be had. For anyone curious what the appearance of the logo is, here is a link to it. Women Superstars United logo, 2019.png was uploaded under the tags Template:PD-textlogo and Template:Trademark, which I still believe are correct. The logo is pretty much a simple wordmark.

If other users disagree with this assessment, it would be helpful to me going forward with other uploads if you could explain why you feel this wordtype/logo is not appropriate for Template:PD-textlogo.

If we are discussing the complexity of the "tears" in the lettering of this file, let us please compare it with the blue detailing contained within the lettering of File:Cyberpunk 2077 logo.svg, which a US court has ruled not to be copyrightable.

I am not sure why this was banned. I am currently trying to upload this picture to a wikipedia page i wanted to make. But my acquaintance, also known as "Meserethallohes Goverment" was banned for trying to make this page with no prior offense or warning.

I can't see the history as it's deleted but as I recall I was notified by bot that there was no valid licence. I think it was just a typo.

File:Hold Anything.jpg

I still hold the original DR was closed incorrectly. However, in the time that has passed, the original ink drawing of Bosko that may or may not have been renewed has clearly gone into the public domain, so it's about time to reevaluate this file. As per User:Prosfilaes/Bosko, I have searched and found no evidence that any of Bosko's works through 1931 have been renewed, so this file, and the rest of early Bosko should be public domain.--Prosfilaes (talk) 20:14, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Deletion

Why was my page deleted? This is a band from Portland, this is facts and truths of history in our music community. What files are in question?

--Johnblake77 (talk) 23:37, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Commons just has images and media, not articles. I assume this is about File:The UpKeeps.jpg, which is nominated for deletion but is not yet deleted. We need photos licensed directly from the photographers (or copyright owners if different); we can't copy images off the web. Since accounts here are basically anonymous, we have a rule that anything which exists on the web needs verification from the photographer via email using the process outlined at COM:VRT. Now, I see you have since uploaded File:Sye Viles.jpg which is obviously a different photo from the same session, but this one with full EXIF and seemingly not available elsewhere, given a quick search. That one may be OK, though looks like it has been nominated for deletion as well, but under a rationale I don't quite understand (missing license, when the license is given). If you are likely to upload images you took that also appear elsewhere on the web (without a licensing statement at those places), then it may be good to go through the VRT process, even if just to verify the account such that future uploads won't be questioned as much (and also to make sure the photographers know the scope of what they are licensing; the license cannot be limited to Wikipedia). If you did not take these photographs, then we would need the photographers to give the copyright license via that mechanism. Carl Lindberg (talk) 00:56, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I am copying this undeletion request of a file for cresterest (talk · contribs) since this talk page was protected.

The following edit describes an image deletion explained essentially by not being able to establish copyright status of the deleted file. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:ThunderbirdsT38.jpg Today I am establishing this image is public domain as released in multiple formats of the mishap/accident investigations published by the Air Force and released to the media. I am hereby requesting it be undeleted given this documentation. Below I will post a web page that includes a photo collage that the 5th from left I believe includes one such formation-impact-scar image credited to the Air Force by The Las Vegas Review Journal. I would have pasted that photo with credit here for direct consideration but no means of pasting an image exists on this template. https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/military/usaf-icons-the-thunderbirds-know-how-to-woo-a-crowd-photos-2639036/ I also believe the deleted photo appears on page 126 of the External Link to the 1982 Thunderbirds Diamond Crash Wikipedia page.

File:Sankebetsu incident newspaper.jpg

This file was nominated for speedy deletion by a user later identified as a sockpuppet evading a block. The rationale for speedy deletion was declined and a regular deletion discussion was opened at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Sankebetsu incident newspaper.jpg on 17 January. The only contributor to the discussion was the sockpuppet and the file was deleted within 2 days. I am rather concerned that the sockpuppet was able to circumvent a previously declined speedy deletion and obtain standard deletion in 2 days without community scrutiny. Can this file be restored and the deletion discussion resumed? As I am not an admin, I can't see the circumstances of the deleted file. If admins reviewing this case confirm that it was a clear copyright violation (as claimed by the sockpuppet) I will be content to withdraw my request.

File:The sims 4 moon sofa set.jpg

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: This image represents a 3D sofa set modeled in the Blender program and its coverings adjusted. It is an example of 3D models created for video games in the Blender program.

It was reported that the reason for deleting the image was because the products sold on the website were spam.

The sofa set in the image is a mod made for The Sims 4. And these mods are offered for free on the website. The image uploaded here is not taken from the game. They were made in the open source blender program.

The purpose of the images here is not advertising. It is an example of 3D objects made by fans for games. Pentapixel (talk) 18:41, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

@Jameslwoodward There is a statement saying "Do not use without a license", but the necessary permissions have been given to Wikipedia in writing. Still, I informed the site that they should update that section to be more clear. You can check again. Pentapixel (talk) 01:41, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Various professional wrestling logos

As with File:Women Superstars United logo, 2019.png, all of these files were marked as for speedy deletion instead of nominated for deletion, which allowed no room nor time for discussion. I object in particular to the deletion of File:World Woman Pro-Wrestling Diana logo.png (consisting strictly only of text and geometric shapes), File:Pure-J wrestling logo.png (a variety of colours does not mean this is anything more than text and geometric shapes, as was discussed in the recent undelete for File:PCW-Ultra.jpg), File:Wrestling Society X logo.png (the "complexity" is minimal, and still geometric. Certainly not more complex than anything featured in File:Cyberpunk 2077 logo.svg) and File:Association les Professionnels du Catch 2019 logo.png (this is text on a circle + stars which are also geometrical) and File:Insane Championship Wrestling logo.png, which is simply the lettering I C W with some minimal red outlining. File:House of Glory wrestling logo.png may be the most egregious deletion of the batch; it's lettering only.

If someone wants to make an argument that the crown featured in File:All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling logo.png precludes that, I can at least understand that argument, but for the rest these are very simple text + shapes. File:Pro Wrestling NOAH 2021 logo.svg is simply text + straight lines; the "ring" featured on top is not a "complex" shape and is formed via straight, geometric lines.

To help this process; the majority of these logos are American, some are Japanese. If users need help differentiating which are American and which are Japanese because of a threshold discussion, please don't hesitate to ping me.

Thank you for your time, CeltBrowne (talk) 12:39, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Upon doing further research, I believe that the spherical shape in File:World Woman Pro-Wrestling Diana logo.png is literally File:Globe icon.svg merely rotated a number of degrees. CeltBrowne (talk) 13:33, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
I don't want to sound impatient, but almost all these files are the primary image/infobox image for different individual articles. 11 articles are without a primary image until they are (hopefully) restored, therefore I'm eager to see this matter resolved fairly quickly if possible. If you have the time to look into these files, I'd appreciate it. As with File:Women Superstars United logo, 2019.png, they were all marked as Template:PD-textlogo and Template:Trademark.

@The Squirrel Conspiracy: as deleting admin. Yann (talk) 11:50, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
I disagree with the undeletion of File:Women Superstars United logo, 2019.png and with your assessment of all of the logos you linked, with the possible exception of File:World Woman Pro-Wrestling Diana logo.png. That said, if another admin feels comfortable undeleting any of them, I'm fine with that as well. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 00:28, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
I also disagree with undeleting File:Women Superstars United logo, 2019.png. The text is OK, but the tear in the middle is not a simple geometric shape. We could make a similar image with our own tear, but the author has a copyright on his drawing of the tear. I cannot view the deleted files, so I will not comment on them.

OK, I renominated this file: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Women Superstars United logo, 2019.png. Yann (talk) 11:44, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
@Ruthven: @TheAafi: @Ankry: @Jameslwoodward:
Sorry to bother you, but as you were all involved in undeleting either File:Women Superstars United logo, 2019.png or File:PCW-Ultra.jpg, I'd really appreciate the insight of someone familiar with Template:PD-textlogo. I'd really like to get this resolved as it's been going on for many days now.
Even if you disagree with undeleting some of these files, your input will still be valued. I would find it difficult to believe all 11 of these files do not qualify as PD-textlogo. I feel very strongly, for example, that File:World Woman Pro-Wrestling Diana logo.png and File:House of Glory wrestling logo.png should be a very straight-forward cases of PD-textlogo.
Just to remind me people, the term "Geometric" covers w:Hypotrochoid and w:Epitrochoid shapes, so a logo containing a curve can still be geometric in nature. Also, as File:HypotrochoidOutThreeFifths.gif demonstrates, many stars (even "non-angular" one) are geometric in nature. So for example the 4 point star in File:Pure-J wrestling logo.png is still geometric in nature. In fact, File:Astroid2.gif in w:Hypocycloid literally demonstrates as much.
File:Wrestling Society X logo.png is clearly a vectorised image despite being in .png format. The point of "vectorising" shapes is (besides smoothing edges) to make them more angular, sharp and otherwise geometric. At least that's the case in this particular example. File:Wrestling Society X logo.png is an entirely text+geometric entity.

Can we restore the files in this batch that are clearly PD-textlogo, and any of them that are considered borderline cases, I'm happy to discuss any issues with those. Thanks, CeltBrowne (talk) 11:35, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Should I nominate each file individually instead?

It's been over a week and a half now, and no one besides the original uploader and original deleter has commented on these files. I'm taking it that by nominating all these files collectively, I've "scared off" the average person from commenting on them. This is based on the fact that other similar files I've recently nominated were processed almost immediately. Should I ask that this thread be deleted/archived and that I (re)nominate each file, one by one, instead? CeltBrowne (talk) 01:47, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Files deleted by Jameslwoodward

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: the Template:PD-US-patent was changed recently after an argumented edit request at the talk page.
Between 2013 and this change, the template erroneously stated that US patents were not in the public domain if they were published after 1989 (without any source to support this claim). Now, the template has been revised to correctly state US patents are generally in public domain. Veverve (talk) 07:50, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

As noted in the template, the applicant may claim copyright in the body of the patent application. In the second case, we have the whole patent and there is no such claim there, so I  Support restoration of File:Magpul Magazine Patent No20100212653A1.pdf. In all of the other cases we have only a part of the application, so until someone reads each of the patents to determine if there is a copyright claim, we should not restore them. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 19:20, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

@Jameslwoodward: until someone reads each of the patents to determine if there is a copyright claim, we should not restore them: but most users are not admins, and thus they have no way to know the references needed to check the patent's contents. Indeed, most of the titles of those files do not contain the references needed to know what patent the file is taken from. Are you implying you are awaiting for another admin to check? Veverve (talk) 19:36, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 Support If the default is public domain, we should at least check the copyright status. Yann (talk) 16:52, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
@Veverve: I {{Temporarily undeleted}} them. Please check and report. Yann (talk) 11:03, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
@Yann: thanks. I will put the bibliographic data needed, taken from the descriptions, and I will check (using Patent Public Search Basic) during the week end. Those data can also be used for people to check if the file gets deleted again.
Veverve (talk) 19:36, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
@Veverve: Does it mean that the files which are not a patent should be deleted? Yann (talk) 10:43, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
@Yann: the USPTO states: "the text and drawings of a patent are typically not subject to copyright restrictions". I believe this concerns patents and not patent applications. So, yes, I think files which are not a patent should be deleted.
However, I am no expert and others should feel free to challenge my claim and thought process. Veverve (talk) 19:44, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
I cleared the files above which are part of a patent. @Jameslwoodward: Should we delete the others? Yann (talk) 20:25, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
@Yann: I have checked all patents:
I think as a general rule, all wrongfully deleted patent files should be restored; since the general rule, as the USPTO says, is that "the text and drawings of a patent are typically not subject to copyright restrictions", the burden of proving those files do not comply with WCommons should lie on the person who nominate for deletion. Moreover, we are in this situation because someone included an erroneous information in a template and that nobody acted to correct it for more than 10 years, so we should give those uploaders the benefit of the doubt and be lenient. Veverve (talk) 10:56, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Under the Berne Convention https://www.wipo.int/wipolex/en/text/283698 "The expression “published works” means works published with the consent of their authors, whatever may be the means of manufacture of the copies, provided that the availability of such copies has been such as to satisfy the reasonable requirements of the public, having regard to the nature of the work. The performance of a dramatic, dramatico-musical, cinematographic or musical work, the public recitation of a literary work, the communication by wire or the broadcasting of literary or artistic works, the exhibition of a work of art and the construction of a work of architecture shall not constitute publication." I'd say that 1950s is more likely than the 1970s in the creation of this photograph, however I would say this is an artistic photograph with a term of PMA 70 rather than a simple photograph with a term of 20 years plus publication. Abzeronow (talk) 17:35, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
  • Italy is a 20 years from creation copyright jurisdiction for photographs. "Artistic photographs" would be found in museums like this image: File:Salvador Dali A (Dali Atomicus) 09633u.jpg, a picture of an artist, does not make an image artistic. Art photography involves costuming and staging and props, not just clicking the shutter. For instance the photographs of Annie Leibovitz and Anne Geddes. Their images are in museums and they sell signed, numbered prints of their photographs as works of art. Just pressing the shutter is something a monkey can do: File:Macaca nigra self-portrait large.jpg. We also have no evidence that the image was made public without the "consent of their author". That argument that we need to prove that an image was distributed with the author's consent could used to denigrate any image, we have no proof for any historical image we host from Italy, and we have over 10,000. I would agree if we had evidence that the image was stolen like we had with the 2014 celebrity pictures hack. Those images did not have the "consent of their author". Non digital photograph is also not like a painting/performance, once the negative (the original creative work) is turned into a positive print, we now have a perceivable copy made, and the copyright clock starts. --RAN (talk) 04:05, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
    • OK, this photo has props (pipe, cup with brushes, artist's artwork) and staging (artist is posed deliberately in constrast to the art work). It is not a simple photograph, it is not documentary in nature. Abzeronow (talk) 17:21, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
Can you give some examples where courts have ruled on what is art, and what is not art in photography? That would be helpful. I would assume art is found displayed in galleries and museums. --RAN (talk) 18:09, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
I don't know what Italian jurisprudence says on this. @Ruthven: @Blackcat: Abzeronow (talk) 18:05, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
@Abzeronow: I do agree with Yann and RAN on the fact that this is a simple photograph (the environment hasn't been modified, for instance, and the pose doesn't really count in such a limited context). However, in the photograph there is a painting, which is probably under copyright (per COM:DW). My guess is that we need a VRT permission for the painting rather than the photo. --Ruthven (msg) 13:52, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

  •  Support first of all, even before thinking of deleting it, the file itself never should have been proposed for deletion. At least, advice from Italian Commoners was recommended because they know the Italian law. Second, no one in good faith can assume that this is a photograph of a 70+ old man (GB Lattuada died in 1978 aged 74).
    The photograph itself was uploaded by his son Bruno Lattuada, who was an architect born in 1956 and dead in 2020. This is clearly a photo taken way before the 1970s.

File:Danielle Dunsmore Official Campaign Photo 2024.jpg undeletion

I am the owner of this photo, and the copy write owner. The photo was created for the use of all candidate material including Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danielledunsmore (talk • contribs) 11:00, January 26, 2024‎ (UTC)

The deletion reason says there is a copyright notice of (C) Rix Ryan Photography Qld. Normally, the photographer owns the copyright, and is the only one who can license it the way we need, even if you have a wide license to use it to promote a campaign. It would be legal to host here, but per site policy we need the photo licensed per the definitions at Commons:Licensing, which require it to be allowed anywhere. The photographer (or copyright owner, if there was a transfer) would need to follow the steps in COM:VRT, sending a private email, and the photo would be undeleted at the end of that process.
Current Australian law does say (article 35(5)):
where:
(a) a person makes, for valuable consideration, an agreement with another person for the taking of a photograph for a private or domestic purpose, the painting or drawing of a portrait or the making of an engraving by the other person; and
(b) the work is made in pursuance of the agreement;
the first-mentioned person is the owner of any copyright subsisting in the work by virtue of this Part, but, if at the time the agreement was made that person made known, expressly or by implication, to the author of the work the purpose for which the work was required, the author is entitled to restrain the doing, otherwise than for that purpose, of any act comprised in the copyright in the work.
It does not seem as though this was for a "private or domestic purpose". Earlier versions of Australian law did not have the "private or domestic purpose" qualifier, nor the long clause after the "but" at the end -- so the copyright to such photos were for a long time owned by the commissioning party. But, it would appear, that is no longer the case unless there was an express agreement to transfer the copyright. Carl Lindberg (talk) 13:58, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose I, agree with Carl. In addition to the fact that this is not a "private or domestic purpose", the requester tells us, "The photo was created for the use of all candidate material including Wikipedia". That does not include freely licensing it here. Since that was not the purpose for which the image was created, "the author is entitled to restrain the doing, otherwise than for that purpose, of any act comprised in the copyright in the work.
In order to restore it, we will need a free license from the phtographer via VRT. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:20, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Harry Topham.jpg

Consensus was to keep the images because they are in the public domain because of their age and because they are anonymous, all circa 1900. The argument for closing as delete was that the images could be from as late as 1909, and are past the 1996 URAA date, but it is not, 1954 is the correct cutoff date for creation. If we assume they were never made public, the license reads: "A photograph, which has never previously been made available to the public (e.g. by publication or display at an exhibition) and which was taken more than 70 years ago (before 1 January 1954)". --RAN (talk) 13:26, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

The math is wrong in the deletion reason, but the above also is not quite correct. PD-UK-unknown is 70 years from the "making available to the public", not creation. That does include public display and broadcast, so is less strict than the term "publication". To avoid the URAA, they would have needed to be made available before 1926. Of course, if these were "published" (in the U.S. sense) before 1929 then the URAA is irrelevant as they are PD-US-expired regardless. 1909+70 is 1979, not 1999, which is the year stated in the DR. It is true that these may not be old enough for PD-old-assumed, which is 120 years from creation. The only chance these have to still be under copyright is if the photographer was named at the time (and just not mentioned in the online copy), and lived to 1954 or later. For the U.S., if the photo was unpublished until 1989 it could still be under copyright, but that seems rather unlikely. Some of the images at the source were clearly published at the time. In most of the EU, determining "anonymous" often needs some idea of the original publication. So if no source was given, the DR seems justified. The UK with it's "unknown" may not need that, though some effort to find the publication probably needs to be done. I was not able to find anything further on the Topham photo with a quick search. I can't see the deleted photos to see if they are from the stated source, and look like crops from published team photos, or other obvious publications, or if look like they may be a private photo (more of a potential problem). But if they look like team photos which would have almost certainly been published, PD-UK-unknown and PD-US-expired seem like reasonable assumptions. So lean  Keep, probably.

Reason: These files were uploaded under Template:PD-textlogo and Template:Trademark, and should be reinstated.

Both files are the text "World Championship Wrestling" on a geometric six-pointed star shape. Above the text "World Championship Wrestling is the text "W W", and both above and below is a stylised "C".

I want to be very clear about this: This logo is entirely geometric, and in fact, I believe it could be easily constructed by a graphing calculator, or on paper simply using a ruler and a geometry compass. In fact, I believe the entire intention of the logo is to be as geometric as possible.

File:Pro Wrestling Freedoms logo.png

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: This was uploaded under Template:PD-textlogo and Template:Trademark, and I feel it should be reinstated.

This is a logo (actually, closer to a wordmark) consisting of the white text FREEDOMS in the style of stencilled text, with a black border. The "O" in FREEDOMS is stylised, being a perfect circle of red within a perfect white ring within a perfect black ring.

The only contentious aspect of this wordmark is that the white stencil text contains some black "dirt" or "grunge" styling. I am not sure if this does or does not mean the threshold of originality in Japan, it's country of origin. If this wordmark was American, based on the court ruling surrounding File:Cyberpunk 2077 logo.svg and the blue detailing found within the yellow text, I do not believe it would be above the TOO.

Here is the appearance of the logo for anyone who does not have access to deleted files: [22]

I would appreciate a third party, one familiar with TOO in Japan, commenting on this case.

If it is the case that this wordmark is above TOO, I believe that an altered version, in which the "dirt"/"grunge" is removed from the white text, would definitely be suitable for the commons.

This logo has been clearly vectorised, and the entire shape of the red X is sharp and angular. The entire shape could be constructed on paper simply using a ruler.

I don't believe this wordmark has anywhere near the complexity needed to be considered above the threshold of originality in America, the country from which it originated. I don't believe there to be a radical difference in the red X contained in this wordmark and the blue detailing found in File:Cyberpunk 2077 logo.svg, which a US court ruled to be below TOO.

Although this logo is "busier" than perhaps the average instance of a Template:PD-textlogo, it remains at its core comprised simply of only text or geometric shapes.

Various illustrations for which copyright has expired

These were all deleted in 2009 on the basis that the illustrator, Arthur Herbert Messenger, died in 1962. Under New Zealand's life+50 copyright term, they were therefore still in copyright in their country of origin. Since that time, the New Zealand copyright has expired (check COM:NEW ZEALAND to confirm NZ copyright term). They are public domain in the US because they were published before 1929 (exact publication, year, and page number listed in parentheses for each item). Therefore they are public domain in the US as well as in their country of origin. --Superiority (talk) 01:36, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

File:1994 circa Eva Friedrich Rötelzeichnung Selbstportrait.jpg

Die Datei wurde heute gemeinsam mit Eva Friedrich (Benutzerin:Eva Friedrich) abfotografiert; die noch wenig erfahrene Benutzerin:Eva Friedrich hat sie - mit meiner Hilfe - nur wenige Minuten später auch auf Ihre deutschsprachige Wikipedia-Benutzerinnen-Seite Benutzerin:Eva Friedrich eingebaut. Damit wurde ihr konkludentes Einverständnis gegeben. Ich bitte höflich um Wiederherstellung. Bernd Schwabe in Hannover (talk) 16:52, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Hallo, Maimaid. Schaust bitte mal. Gruß von Bernd Schwabe in Hannover (talk) 16:55, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
Hallo Bernd Schwabe in Hannover, von einem "konkludenten Einverständnis" habe ich bisher in den Urheberrechtsregeln auf Commons noch nicht gehört. Ich kenne nur das vorgeschriebene Procedere via Mail an den Support. Gruß --Maimaid (talk) 19:17, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
Mit konkludentem Einverständnis behilft sich oft die Presse, wenn es darum geht, ob jemand damit einverstanden war, bei irgendeiner Veranstaltung fotografiert zu werden. Winken in die Kamera oder so wird dann als besagtes konkludentes Einverständnis aufgefasst. Wikimedia Commons arbeitet aber in Sachen Urheberrechte mit expliziten, bestätigten Genehmigungen per E-Mail, siehe COM:VRT/de. --Rosenzweig τ 20:09, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
Hallo Maimaid, hallo Rosenzweig. Ich stelle gerade aus im Zentrum Hannovers zwecks "Werbung" zur Beteilung an allen Wikimedia Projekten (mehr als 10 Stunden täglich). Wegen dem Löschantrag auf Eva Friedrich habe ich diese von der Ausstellung aus - zuvor unbekannterweise - nach Telefonsuche angerufen und ihr meinen einzigen "freien" Tag zwecks Einführung in Wikipedia angeboten. Das war gestern ab vormittags, ebenfalls dann mehr als 10 Stunden (inklusive Sichtung ihrer Belege, Bücher etc., Korrekturen usw.). Ihr auf meinen Wunsch hin mitgebrachtes Selbstporträt habe ich gegen Abend mit meinen Smartphone abfotografiert und mit der Commons-App hochgeladen (die App hat keine Wahlmöglichkeit außer dem unterstellten "eigenen Werk".) Eva Friedrich hat das Selbstporträt dann sofort - mit meiner Hilfe - in ihre Benutzerinnen-Seite eingepflegt. Heute mittag haben wir das von mir gemachte Foto von ihrem Selbstporträt dann erneut hochgeladen. Gruß und Dank für die gemeinschaftliche Arbeit sendet Bernd Schwabe in Hannover (talk) 12:13, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
Hallo Bernd! Dein Ärger kann ich gut verstehen, nur gibt es dazu eigentlich keinen Anlass. Du hast fotografisch eine Reproduktion von einem Gemälde gemacht. Dieses Gemälde hat eine Urheberin, und schon kommen Urheberrechte zum Tragen. Frau Friedrich ist die Urheberin und hat mit Sicherheit auch die Bildrechte an ihrem Porträt nicht abgetreten. Das reicht bei Commons aber nicht aus, uns das mitzuteilen. Die Urheberin muss damit einverstanden sein, dass wir das Foto ihres Selbstporträts unter der Lizenz, die Du mit CC-by-sa-4.0 angegeben hast, auf Commons hochladen dürfen. Diese Lizenz hat Attribute, mit denen die Urheberin ebenfalls einverstanden sein muss. Diese Einverständniserklärung muss die Urheberin einreichen, also Frau Friedrich selbst. Die einzige Möglichkeit dazu ist der Weg über den Support, den hatte Dir Rosenzweig schon verlinkt: COM:VRT/de. Eine Email von Frau Friedrich, wie es dort beschrieben ist, reicht also schon aus, damit das ganze dann vom Tisch ist. Liebe Grüße nach Hannover, – Doc Taxon • Talk • 13:53, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

File:Ancona - Monumento alla Resistenza al Pincio - Pericle Fazzini.jpeg

This sculpture was deleted in 2022 following this DR for supposedly violating the copyright of the author, Pericle Fazzini, died in 1987. The sculpture though as we can read here was commissioned by the municipality of Ancona, and therefore it falls under the provision of article 11 of the italian copyright law, which states that the copyright of the works commissioned by italian public administrations, belongs to them and lasts 20 years (see Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory/Italy#General_rules). The work was finished in 1965, and therefore it fell under PD in 1985, before the URAA. The relevant template here is Template:PD-ItalyGov.--Friniate (talk) 16:25, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
