Re: Deletion of Richard L. Bernal Photo

Hi Christian, I received permission to enter that photo into the public domain. Just checking what the reasoning was for removing it? — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 104.244.227.152 (talk) 06:49, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

  • Hi, I delete a lot of images every days and I don't remember this image. Tell me the exact name of the file, or give me a link to your talk page or to the relevant talk page. But if you have received a permission, be aware that the copyright holder have to send a permission to com:OTRS, where you can read on how to do so. Christian Ferrer (talk) 11:01, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of File:Logo of "IAVNU".jpg

Hi Christian, you deleted today the File "Logo of "IAVNU".jpg", reason was "above threshold of originality". The Logo is composed by myself, the foreground image (planet) is completely created by myself. So why is this a copyright violation? Sincerely --Arjoopy (talk) 19:19, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Commons talk:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Poilaunet

Bonjour, J'ai posté un message dans la page de discussion du sujet en question, j'ignore si la démarche est suffisante. Merci de me signaler si la méthode n'est pas correcte. Poilaunet (talk) 12:54, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

  • @Poilaunet: Bonjour, les Deletion requests (requetes pour suppression) sont en fait des pages de discussions ou tous le monde peut y apporter ses arguments, votre message aurait donc été plus approprié sur la dr elle-meme. Cela dit, j'ai fait part de votre message au bon endroit et j'ai demandé un délai supplémentaire avant la suppression mais cela ne peut pas rester en attente trop longtemps. Si la photographe envoit une permission valide alors les images seront gardées, et si la permission arrive après la suppréssion alors les images seront restaurées. Il y a parfois des délai assez important car les volontaire qui s'occupent des permissions ont beaucoup de travail. Pour l'instant je ne pense pas que vous puissiez faire plus.

  • If a file have been deleted, while it is in the Public Domain, then first, what file? secondly if you upload old images then you have to provide the author(s), date(s), country(ies) in order to determine the copyright statut otherwise, except for a few obvious cases, the images will likely be deleted. Christian Ferrer (talk) 16:12, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Christian,

My logo update for the Kansas City Mavericks page was deleted as a possible copyright infringement. I work for the team (Director of Communications) and was instructed by our GM to update it. Is there anything I can do to make the picture work?

If you need to email me, my email is bweiss@kcmavericks.com.

Thanks!

The deletion of File: VR-программа на 39 ММКФ.jpg

Hi, Christian! Yesterday you have deleted my photo from Wikimedia. Could you explain the reason? This photo was made by me during the event made by me and our team. All persons on the photo know about the shooting - it was demonstration for the press. If something wrong with logos of Samsung, I can remove it - if in that case everything will be ok with this photo and I can upload it again? Thank you!

Nataliaseverina (talk) 12:27, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

  • @Nataliaseverina: Hello Natalia, the reason is simple, the image have been previously published on the web [1], now every body can come and say "I own the copyright", therefore in this kind of case, and in order to protect the rights of the copyright holder, our policies requires that the copyright holder send a permission to OTRS, where you can read on how to do so. Or the first publication on the web has to be licensed with an adequate license. Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:21, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

New Nikon

On July 25, the 100th anniversary of Nikon, they're supposed to announce a new camera, the name D820 or D850. It's an upgrade to the D810 and will have a 45MP sensor. That's gonna be awful tempting.... ;-) PumpkinSky talk 13:25, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Seriously tempted. It's way better than the D5300 I have now, which is nice camera. But that 800 series is so much better. PumpkinSky talk 14:04, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Any thoughts

Hi Christian:

I know these aren't FP material, but I was wondering if you have any feedback on; both are waiting for the bot to run at QI:

File:Butterfly Garden NBG 3 LR.jpg or File:Japanese Garden Stone Cistern Fountain NBG LR.jpg

Thank you, PumpkinSky talk 19:59, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

  • Hi ok,
File:Japanese Garden Stone Cistern Fountain NBG LR.jpg is far the best of the two, the subject is clear, well insulated, technical and post processing ok, the issue, if there is one, is the composition, if you chose to show the stones that surround the fountain then show the entire stone design, or nothing.
File:Butterfly Garden NBG 3 LR.jpg is less good, there is no clear subject, and this is a little bit overexposed (for my tastes) (maybe fixable in postproduction). If you want an overview of the place by integrating many elements, foreground and background, then chose a bigger DoF IMO. If the subject(s) are the flowers and the tree, then there is too much stone in foreground. If you wanted to integrate the foreground stones in the composition, then it looks a bit unbalanced IMO. We don't really know what is the clear subject.
Christian Ferrer (talk) 20:20, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
Thank you very much. I do appreciate it. On the cistern one, there's a large object (stone lantern) right by the stones I had to crop out--it was very distracting. Maybe I can get this at a different angle. I plan to go back Saturday at the latest. There are a billion photo opportunities at the Norfolk Botanical Garden. I'll try different angles and positions. Good points on the second photo. I'm always confused when people say "bigger DOF". This photo was f/5.6. Does bigger DOF mean go towards f/2 (a bigger opening in the camera) or go torward f/11 (a deeper DOF with more in focus)? PumpkinSky talk 21:01, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
torward f/11 Christian Ferrer (talk) 04:35, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Possible block evasion

Hi Christian Ferrer. I strongly suspect that Arthur Brum might be trying to evade your block of his account by using a sock puppet (Ignácio) to continue to upload copyvios. This is partly based upon what I posted in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Dom Luiz I of Brazil.png, but also because the user is identifying himself as Arthur Brum at both User:Ignácio on Commons and en:User:Ignácio on Wikipedia. Please advise on how to proceed. Thanks in advance. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:04, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Thank you, you did well. Christian Ferrer (talk) 05:21, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of Johannes-Vieweg2017.jpg

Hi Christian,

The photo that was provided was taken of Dr. Vieweg on campus by a photographer who gave our school full rights to use. The photo is not protected by any copyrights. How can I get this undeleted? Do you need something from the photographer himself? Dr. Vieweg is part of the faculty at NSU and we were only intending to update the photo that was there before. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DatosDano (talk • contribs) 15:22, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick catch

Hi Christian, thanks for noticing the licensing issues on the four pitviper uploads of mine which you deleted yesterday; I had added a number of images and failed to notice that those four were not licensed for commercial use (!). I'm glad you caught my mistake so quickly, because (aside from just not wanting to put inappropriately-licensed items on the project), I was about to use them prominently in a new en.wiki article, and it would have been a pain to have to reformat it after leaning on those photos for the ecology they display. Good eye! I'll be more careful with flickr in the future. Snow (talk) 18:45, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

I see. Well, I'm already looking the commons novice that I am, so I might as well admit, I thought CC 3.0 and 4.0 were always commercial-use-allowed, by default. Not sure where I got that erroneous impression, but if I upload any photos in the future, I will scour the license page more scrupulously. It's a pity to lose those images; I had applied them to some nice species-specific articles. Perhaps I'll reach out to the rights holders; if they were willing to do CC to begin with, maybe they will be willing to adopt a new license that removes the last restriction. In any event, it's better to learn what was up sooner, rather than later. I'm a little bummed, but thanks for your work here all the same. Snow (talk) 07:11, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
Actually, I know it would be a few minutes more work than I've already cost you, but since you have access to the deleted pages, could I trouble you for a list of the urls I included in the licensing info for those uploads? I didn't keep track of them all after the uploads were complete, and it could save me an hour or so of tracking them all down again for the purpose of contacting the photographers about them. Snow (talk) 07:15, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Saw this on Flickr. I think you've got an FP there. It has artistic value, which most of our wildlife photos lack. I like the stillness of the water and the zig-zag of the legs. I know there is an other photo which is more comical with the splayed legs and open beak, but the water isn't so perfect there, and it is cropped too close on the right-hand-side. The other one looks more like a ballet pose. I'd be happy to nominate, unless you wish to. -- Colin (talk) 18:59, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

File:NautilusByWikiFred.jpg

An image of the submarine NAUTILUS that I uploaded more than a decade ago has been deleted, apparently through a misunderstanding of it's origin. I would like to request that it be undeleted. I can't see what I said when I originally submitted it, so I'll start from scratch. The statement 'created for the DVD cover' is incorrect. This is an image of a CGI model of the submarine Nautilus. I created the model under contract for Disney for the 2004 DVD release of the 1954 movie 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Stills and movies of the model, also created by me, were used for DVD menus and special edition features. The specific image NautilusByWikiFred.jpg does *not* appear anywhere on the DVD, cover or otherwise. It is an original rendering I made for use on Wikipedia. When I submitted it I thought I had given all the appropriate permissions for it's release into public domain and inclusion on Wikipedia. It has since been used by other websites many times, almost always with appropriate credit to Wikipedia and/or myself. If you Google for the filename, this is the first hit, so it's still in the system somehow!  :)

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:NautilusByWikiFred.png

Any help you can give me to get this reinstated will be greatly appreciated!

Fred — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiFred (talk • contribs) 22:20, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

  • I'm afraid, that Disney company may have some right on the publication or re-publication of this artwork, because they likely own the copyrights of the original artwork that serve to make the CGI model. In my point of view the CGI model, and/or your original rendering is a derivative work of the Disney Nautilus. I hate to do that but I have to nominate the file linked for deletion too. You can make your arguments and discuss to keep this file directly in the request (not in the talk page, but directly in the page, and don't forget to sign if possible..). If this image is kept for good reasons, we will think at a potential restoration of your image too. Christian Ferrer (talk) 06:30, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Japanese cistern photos

Hi Christian:

If you're still interested in looking at my cistern photos from today (and last week), here they are:

Any feedback appreciated. If you don't have time or interest, that's ok, I understand. PumpkinSky talk 01:09, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Thank you very much. What I don't get on the bell photo (the last one) is why the focus is not on the bell. I use single point focus for this type of photo and I had it on the bell. Hmmm. I'll work on issues that are workable and upload new versions. Can you tell me what you think of these two:

thank you. PumpkinSky talk 11:07, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
I've modified the two with a "*" at the end of the comments. PumpkinSky talk 11:35, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
For the bell, it's maybe my eyes who plays with me, the bell seems in focus, but the stone at top left, a bit less. I don't know, not bad thereis still some fringe. The flower image is a good image, you can maybe add a bit of local highlight in the purpose to add some twist to the image. Christian Ferrer (talk) 13:26, 23 July 2017 (UTC) The white flower image is a good and nice image. Christian Ferrer (talk) 13:27, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
You mean add hightlight to the red and yellow one? PumpkinSky talk 13:37, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
Yes a bit Christian Ferrer (talk) 14:27, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
✓ Done. I'm thinking of putting the white flowers up at FPC and maybe the red/yellow ones. I took more shots of the cistern today but haven't processed them yet. PumpkinSky talk 17:45, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
The white flowers may have a chance but not the red/yellow IMO. Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:19, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
You're probably right. I took another look at the white flower. Notice the border is tighter on the right (the long thin things come closer to the border). If you think it's worth adding some border to the right, could you do that in PS? I don't have PS. If this is too much to ask, that's okay. PumpkinSky talk 19:27, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Lenses for MFT

Bonjour Christian,

some days before I went on holidays I had got a new lens, a 14 mm f/2.5 Lumix which is, besides the horrible Olympus lenscap lenses, the smallest MFT lens. I shot a lot of images with it but now, as I'm developing my photos, I wish I wouldn't have bought it. Practically all images get quite blurry towards the corners. This is something that I didn't experience until now and very frustrating. Ironically, I have a 12-32 mm zoom which is a very basic Panasonic kit lens and only a bit higher than the 14 mm but the image corners are more than acceptable. I got the 14 mm to make the GM1 even more pocketable... Fail.

So if someday you are going to get some MFT equipment, check out for Panaleica 15 mm f/1.7, the Panasonic 20 mm f/1.7 and the 60 mm f/2.8 Sigma DN Art, both sharp at almost any aperture and I'm very happy with them. Furthermore the 15 mm has an MF switch so that you don't need the missing lever on the GX80. All Sigma MFT lenses seem to be quite good and they are very, very cheap.

I hope that this is interesting for you...

Best regards,

--Basotxerri (talk) 09:37, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

  • I haven't uploaded images yet, the next days I'll do. However, as so many images I've shot are blurry in the corners, I won't upload many of them because they won't get any chance as QIC. It's really, really frustrating. --Basotxerri (talk) 14:36, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
  • I'm going to give you some list here!
@Basotxerri: Seeing those images I don't think the lens is good for the larger (or extreme?) aperture, it's not a so bad lens but you should try to stay between f/7.1 and f/11, as evidence this one at f/7.1 seems to have the best quality over the whole image. Christian Ferrer (talk) 17:59, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for the advice, it's true that this can be related to the problem. Normally I try to shoot at about f/5.6 for obtaining the best sharpness. I'm going to test it. However, I haven't got this problem with any of my other lenses. The 15 mm is almost always sharp and on any point of the image, and have a look to the Sigma 60 mm, too. --Basotxerri (talk) 18:32, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
@Basotxerri: Yes indeed, that's good images , here they say, in french, that indeed the 14mm is not good on the borders, and they says also the opposite of me above, the lens is best for use at f/2.5 or f/4. Christian Ferrer (talk) 19:18, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
...je viens de lire ça... Well, according to that forum discussion, the lens isn't that bad and the images posted aren't too bad either (at least at the published resolution). Perhaps I've got a bad copy, too. I agree that the 20 mm f/1.7 is very good, too, although the AF is quite slow. Interestingly both the 14 mm and the 20 mm cost about 300 €. The 15 mm usually costs about 500 € (I was lucky and got a kit GM1 + 15 mm Panaleica for 600 €) and the Olympus 12 mm f/2 isn't very cheap either, I think (although not in Nikon terms, I suppose). --Basotxerri (talk) 20:44, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

User:KAS-ACDP

Hi Christian, Thanks for your intervention. I'm writing from my personal account as I check it more often than the account I helped set up for KAS, User:KAS-ACDP. Fyi, I'm head of a department there. Yes, this is an "official" account if you will. And yes, we also officially claim the right to license these files. Aside from uloading them to Commons, we also use our own technical infrastructure. I'm not sure, however, that OTRS will work. The legal relationship between the CDU and KAS is very clear on the one side, on the other it's very difficult to explain: "The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung e.V. (KAS; Konrad Adenauer Foundation) is a German political party foundation associated with but independent of the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU). The foundation's headquarters are located in Sankt Augustin near Bonn. Globally, the KAS has 78 offices and runs programs in over 100 countries. Its current chairman is the former President of the European Parliament, Hans-Gert Pöttering. It is a member of the Centre for European Studies, the official foundation and think tank of the European People's Party (EPP)." Be assured that nothing we do is against the will or without consent of the political party we support and as whose think tank - and official archives (!) - we serve. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:47, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello Christian! I am Dino Santos. You recently flagged my uploaded (Ateneo Blue Eagle.png) as a possible copyright violation. I checked the Commons:Licensing page and I am not sure I understand how this might be the case. Does this refer to the "We can't accept works created or inspired by others" clause?

Deletion recommended by you in articles as supposed vios

You have put numerous photos uploaded by me as supposed vios. Whereas I am checking some of them which may have given me as secured rights, the majority of them were personally taken by me. I fail to see upon what grounds you have decided to delete them or nominate others for deletion without discussing the issue with me. The photo of Professor Avraham Oz, for instance was taken by me personally at Oxford on 1993; that of Tal Itzhaki was taken by me personally at Bermuda in 2009. Several pics from the productions of the Academy theatre in Tel Aviv were personally taken by me personally. Others were public relation pics given me by the Academy and the rights belong to them. I strongly demand that a particular query will be put to me regarding each separate photo deleted or nominated for deletion. Sincerely, Dr Sarah Fine, sfine8Sfine8 (talk) 21:57, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

I deleted all the images and closed this nomination following our policy Commons:Project scope/Precautionary principle, as your uploads were indeed copyvios or were at least suspicious. At least two other experienced administrators agreed with this rationale. Christian Ferrer (talk) 05:35, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
  • As I said before, some of the files deleted were taken by me personally: the fact I don't enter wikipedia daily, especially when I am occupied by other engagemnts, and thus not aware that they were tagged as copyvios, should not, in my opinion, entail a deletion within the short span of 7 days. However, regarding materials not photographed by me personally, not being experienced with uploading visual material to wikipedia, I have assumed that if I were given stuff and permission to publish by institutes or private persons who hold the rights for those materials it satisfied the licensing demands of wikipedia. I therefore re-upload for the time being materials which I have created myself, and will read carefully the requirements for licensing materials which were entrusting me by the owners of the rights. I repeat my strong sentiment that before the extreme measure of deletion, the person who uploaded the materials (with the good intention of improving a given article) should be approached and consulted within a reasonable period (7 days seem to me much too short for anyone whose concern with wikipedia is not the major occupation in life. Yet perhaps I'm wrong. Dr S. FineSfine8 (talk) 13:01, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
  • Please don't recreate deleted content or you will lose your editing privileges. You can ask an undeletion request. And again I repeat :the images previously published on the web without an explicit compatible license will be deleted again, unless the copyright holder send a permission to com:OTRS. Persist uploading potential copyright violations may also lead to a block of your account. Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:30, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

З регламентом конкурсу можна ознайомитися тут.

Якщо у Вас дуже багато фото, скористайтеся масовими завантажувачами або зверніться до нас.

Favor, please?

File:Cutter_bill.jpg - I tried to clean-up the image that was there (Bloodbred's original image) but it looked much better in PS than what it looks uploaded. Will you delete my 2 screw-ups dated today? Thanks in advance...Atsme 📞 16:42, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
