Hello Alex

Thank you for the commet on the Hip Hop Movement logo ( Hip Hop Movement01.png) that I upload from their site, if you had clicked on the link you would and will see that they have the CC permission right next to the logo. They give people permission to use the logo. --Street sting (talk) 16:55, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

File:The Factor, April 2017.jpg[edit]

Hello Alex,

I was perfectly within my own rights to post the revised logo for Fox News Channel's "The Factor" program (The Factor, April 2017.jpg) that you marked as a possible "copyright violation." The fact that I uploaded a screenshot of the image makes it my own work. Therefore, it is perfectly feasible for others to use it as well. I even listed the appropriate licenses as well, which are clearly visible. Therefore, I am kindly requesting that you reconsider removing this violation. Thank you for your understanding. --jmcd88(talk) 12:55, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Jmcd88: Please see COM:SS. A screenshot is not entirely your own work. Alex Cohn (talk) 05:02, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Very well then. I guess I'll just stick to editing text. Moreover, due to all of these rules surrounding the uploading of images, I can also guarantee you that I'll never be uploading another image on Wikipedia again. jmcd88 (talk) 1:09, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

@Jmcd88: Yeah, the copyright rules can be a bit hard to understand at first - sorry about that! Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter has a bunch of guidelines on what you can and can't upload here. Incidentally, that image could be uploaded directly to the English-language Wikipedia with a fair-use rationale - it would likely qualify with some minor edits to remove the YouTube title and reduce the resolution. I would be happy to walk you through that if you'd like. Again, sorry - it was totally not my intention to scare you away from uploading images here. Alex Cohn (talk) 05:34, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No need to apologize. I know you're just going by the rules here (apparently, I wasn't). This was my second time posting an image here, even though I've been moderately active within the Wikipedia community for years now (as you might know, I'm best when it comes to editing text). I guess I'll just read more into some of the guidelines if I choose to upload another image from here on out. I do appreciate your kindness as well. jmcd88 (talk) 1:40, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Autopatrol given[edit]

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. -- ~riley (talk) 03:58, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, dear license reviewer[edit]

If you use the helper scripts, you will find the links next to the search box (vector) or as single tabs (monobook). They are named license+ and license-.

Hi Alex Cohn, thanks for your request for license reviewer status. The request has been closed as successful, and you've been added to the list of reviewers. You can now start reviewing files – please see Commons:License review and Commons:Flickr files if you haven't done so already. We also have a guide how to detect copyright violations. Potential backlogs include Flickr review and files from other sources. You can use one of the following scripts by adding one of the lines to your common.js:

importScript('User:ZooFari/licensereviewer.js'); // stable script for reviewing images from any kind of source OR
importScript('User:Majora/LicenseReview.js'); // contains also user notification when review fails, auto blacklist-check and auto-thank you message for Flickr-reviews.

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-commons webchat on irc.freenode.net. You can also add {{User license reviewer}} to your user page if you wish. Thank you for your contributions on Commons! Regards. T CellsTalk 08:13, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mold-A-Rama T. Rex[edit]

Hello, Alex Cohn. I uploaded File:Mold-A-Rama-T-rex-01.jpg to Wikimedia Commons. You tagged it with License Review, saying "Provide a specific reason for the public domain status, please". I marked it as public domain because the creator of the image uploaded it to Flickr with a public domain license. That's here. So, please let me know what should happen next, I don't know the proper procedure. Thanks. (If you reply here, I will see what you say.) Mudwater (talk) 21:20, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mudwater! Unfortunately, that file's license on Flickr is listed as "Public Domain Work", which is generally not OK on Commons. The Public Domain Mark has no underlying legally-enforceable document behind it, and is intended to indicate files that are already in the public domain, not to place files in the public domain by itself. If the uploader's intent was to do that, there's the "Public Domain Dedication" license choice on Flickr, which is equivalent to the {{Cc-zero}} license tag here.
This seems pedantic, but Commons is intended as a worldwide resource and there are countries where it's unclear if someone can legally release their own work into the public domain. The CC-Zero license therefore has a backup clause that's intended to provide equivalent rights in those countries. But the person who uploaded the image to Flickr (i.e. the copyright holder) would need to have agreed to the backup clause, which they haven't done if they only tagged the image as "Public Domain Work". Please let me know if you're still confused - this is confusing, and it took me a while to wrap my head around it myself. --Alex Cohn (talk) 01:22, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that is a bit complicated, but I get the basics of what you're saying. So, what do you think is the best way to proceed? Should the image be removed from Wikimedia? And if yes, can it be added to Wikipedia instead? And if yes to Wikipedia, what licensing should it have? Mudwater (talk) 01:31, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
One approach might be to ask the uploader on Flickr to change the license to one of the Commons-compatible ones? That'd allow it to stay here. Commons even has a page of sample appeals to the uploader you can use. (Also, do you know the copyright status of the original molds? COM:FOP US might mean that pictures of Mold-A-Rama figures are considered derivative works; it'd certainly be simpler if the molds were created before 1924.) Alex Cohn (talk) 01:57, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Derivative works, eh? Well, the Mold-A-Rama machines debuted in 1962, so I'd assume that any of the figurines were created on or after that date. What about the idea of uploading the same image to Wikipedia? Is there some kind of licensing that would be good for that? Mudwater (talk) 12:00, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Mudwater: That's where it gets tricky. Is there a copyright notice on the machines or molded into the plastic? If they were first "published" before 1977 without a notice, the figurines themselves are public domain and that point is moot. I'm not a lawyer, and this is getting a bit beyond my depth. Would you be willing to ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright? Alex Cohn (talk) 19:04, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps! Let me ponder this further. In any event, thanks for answering my questions. Mudwater (talk) 02:04, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Im new to Wikipedia, why it says "This file may meet the criteria for speedy deletion"?[edit]

I dont understand

@Bot01cl: The image you uploaded is from a news story, and generally photos from news sites are not available under free licenses. You had listed a Creative Commons license, which I could find no evidence of on the LA Times source you linked. Only the copyright holder (usually the person who created a work) can pick a license of their choice, and since you had listed a source (and the image appears elsewhere online) I assumed you were not the original creator of the image.
However, in this case, the image is eligible for inclusion on Commons because it was a work of an agency of a California local government, and California law makes most such works (including this one) part of the public domain. I've updated the image page to reflect this. Thanks for asking! Alex Cohn (talk) 02:46, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

File:A special composite of deers.jpg - sources[edit]

Hello Alex. I was just about to specify the sources. Because I can not do otherwise, I have always saved the work as my own and then immediately in the edit mode, the sources indicated. But I do not know if that worked. Sorry. Beat Ruest (talk) 16:02, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Beat Ruest: Thanks! Removed the tag and linked the images for you. Alex Cohn (talk) 16:05, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The largest source picture I found is on this Flickr URL: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ibm_es/13623740614/. If you notice in the edited image, the height is stretched in order to have the hat fit on top of Watson, which I think is also not on Commons. An article on Gigaom titled Have at it, programmers: IBM makes Watson available via API has the photo included and credits IBM as the author. Furthermore, the original source image on Flickr does not have a Commons license of any kind. TaurusEmerald (talk) 23:05, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File:SWAS Meadow Spring Site Upstream view (32813384613).jpg[edit]

Hi! The file is no longer at Flickr so there is no reason to keep asking the bot to review the file again. The result will be the same. The bot will conclude that the file is no longer on Flickr. So if you think there is a problem with the file then start a deletion request. If you think it is okay then we need to find a better solution than to force the bot to add a "flickr not found"-template. --MGA73 (talk) 07:21, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
