Structured Data - IRC office hour today, 1 November

There will be an IRC office hour for Structured Data on Commons today, 1 October 2018, from 17:00-18:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office. You can find date/time conversion, as well as a link to join the chat in your browser if needed, on the IRC Office hours page on Meta. I realize this may be short notice for some people; I am experimenting with advanced notice times to see what works best for the most people, I'll be giving more warning before the next office hour. I look forward to seeing you there. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 16:02, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

The First 7 images

Dear Christian,

Can you kindly review just the top 7 images by Lymantria. I always review his other images but I think a second reviewer is preferable too--just in case--for a precaution. I don't feel comfortable being the only reviewer here. Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 00:50, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

• Once someone filed a DR on an account with youtube clips and I marked most of the images but luckily there was a second reviewer of one of the images too...and he supported me. If not, I could not say that someone else also reviewed an image from the youtube account thereby proving it was once free before the license was changed. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 00:53, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

 Done No problems. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 04:03, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment: Thanks for your help here. It is not good to just have one reviewer of images from one account in most cases. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 05:35, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Structured Data - copyright and licensing statements

I've posted a second round of designs for modeling copyright and licensing in structured data. These redesigns are based off the feedback received in the first round of designs, and the development team is looking for more discussion. These designs are extremely important for the Commons community to review, as they deal with how copyright and licensing is translated from templates into structured form. I look forward to seeing you over there. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 16:25, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

File:Generałowie podczas Święta Wojska Polskiego 2007.jpg

Could you undelete this file? The license was valid. The photo was taken in 2007 and the licensor's license terms for photos from MON were changed in September 2013. There's more photos taken by MON on Commons (the ones i mentioned in the deletion request: File:Czołg lekki PL-01 (01).jpg, File:Czołg lekki PL-01 (02).jpg, File:Gen. Marek Dukaczewski.JPG, File:Jarosław Kraszewski.JPG). There's even an entire category of them. ElCet (talk) 22:29, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Not sure that I can undelete it, I remember to have hesitated. The template {{MONCopyright}} is explicit "this template is no longer usable for uploads after this date" (September 2013) however the deleted file was uploaded here the 3 August 2018. While it's true that the photo was maybe available at source before September 2007, it does not really matter because now your source is not free, and I guess that what matter for the validity of this kind of source is the license at the time of the upload. This is not a CC license, and nothing say us that such conditions were irrevocable, see User:Nemo5576/MON. Sorry from my point of view your source is not OK. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 07:21, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

What about the files i mentioned? File:Gen. Marek Dukaczewski.JPG and File:Jarosław Kraszewski.JPG were uploaded in January 2018. File:Czołg lekki PL-01 (01).jpg and File:Czołg lekki PL-01 (02).jpg were uploaded in 20 September 2013. The license was changed before 14th of September. Also, User:Nemo5576/MON doesn't specify if the license is valid for files uploaded to Commons or MON. Photos taken by MON before September 2013 don't mention their authors. ElCet (talk) 09:54, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

• I don't know about the other files, I closed one DR, the other DR Commons:Deletion requests/File:Jarosław Kraszewski.JPG was closed with the rationale "files from the Ministry of National Defence of Poland", but IMO if this rationale is good/ok then a relevant license tag should be used instead of the ambiguous {{MONCopyright}}. Really sorry, but I'm not going to undelete this image, if another administrator wants to take responsibility for restoring it, then it's fine for me. Maybe you should make a request at Commons:Undeletion requests. Sorry again. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 10:37, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Unjustified deletion of useful file

"Thank you" for your efforts to diminish wiki. I'll definitely never work to enrich the project by third party photos... I'll never convince them to share their photos here again. --Ⴂ. ႡႠႪႠႾႠႻႤ★ 21:01, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

You should have been advised to get the copyright holders to contact us with permission by OTRS, or you could have asked for guidance. You left it for six weeks. I'd advise going the OTRS route, then once that has arrived, request undeletion. Cheers. Rodhullandemu (talk) 21:26, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

The page you linked as source has a clear "All right reserved" at bottom. The other page you quoted have indeed a CC-BY license, but sorry, at first view this license seems to applies only to that web page. They have to replace the "all right reserved" by the CC-By license on the page(s) that you use as source, or they have to remove the "all right reserved" from the bottom of their pages and then to create a term of use page with a clear lisencing statement. Otherwise indeed as pointed by Rodhullandemu we need a permission via OTRS. Sorry if I damaged your enthusiasm, it's clearly not my goal. But you can not expect to upload a file whose source is " all right reserved" and that this file be reviewed and kept, can you? Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 05:46, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

The link Leoboudv gave (http://www.delta.gov.ge/product/gmm-120/) doesn't work. Which image was it? - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 07:53, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

This image from this page. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 07:59, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

People have hard understanding of our rules. I tried to explain to them that it is necessary to replace the "all right reserved" by CC-By license but they failed, instead they placed it in every article separately. I am disappointed because there in no one who is against to use the photos under free license but because of "bureaucracy" we are damaging wiki. --Ⴂ. ႡႠႪႠႾႠႻႤ★ 11:42, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

Question technique

Bonjour Christian. Si OK pour vous, je vais vous poser ma question en français (je me débrouille en anglais et je contribue d'ailleurs dans cette langue mais ce sera plus commode).

Concernant un article sur un service de la police nationale française, le chef de service me propose de me "donner" quelques photos pour parution sur WP. Ces photos appartiennent à son service (pas au service com du ministère) et elles ont été prises à différentes époques par des membres de ce service qui, à mon avis, ne sont pas identifiés (et ne doivent d'ailleurs absolument pas l'être). Je me propose de les publier - en indiquant bien sûr que je n'en suis pas l'auteur - mais je ne sais pas trop comment et notamment quel type de licence choisir (j'imagine un type assez restrictif mais compatible WP). Par ailleurs, comme ces photos montrent des personnes ne portant pas d'uniforme permettant d'identifier le service ou le pays, j'envisage d'insérer dans chaque photo un bandeau du type NOM DU SERVICE - PARIS, éventuellement complété par toute information utile (n°OTRS?) de manière à éviter toute confusion et à assurer que les photos ne soient pas réutilisées hors contexte.

Pouvez-vous m'aider sur cette question? Merci d'avance et bien cordialement. --Domenjod (talk) 16:00, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

• Bonjour je vois deux problème ici. A mon avis dans le cadre de la police nationale, il y a deux possibilités :

soit les photos on été prises dans un cadre professionnel et dans ce cas les photos appartiennent de facto au ministère, et je ne pense pas qu'un service particulier puisse se substituer au ministère pour publier de telles photos;

soit les photos ont été prises à titre particulier et dans ce cas les droits d'auteurs reviennent de facto aux photographes. Seuls les titulaires de ces droits d'auteur (donc les photographes) peuvent donner la permission (soit par OTRS, soit par l’intermédiaire d'une publication existante) pour une publication sous l'une des licences autorisées ici. Donc dans ce cas non plus, je ne pense pas que le service concerné puisse se substituer aux photographes pour donner l'autorisation de publier les photos.

La seule solution est que chaque titulaire des droits d'auteurs de chaque photo envoie une permission à com:OTRS, ou que les photos soient déjà disponible de façon légitime sur le WEB avec une licence compatible. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 17:28, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Re-bonjour et merci pour la réponse rapide. Je craignais un peu d'entendre cette réponse. Cependant, dans le livre le plus récent qui m'a servi de référence pour l'article, la majeure partie des photos provient du service, avec la phrase : Sauf mention contraire, toutes les photos font partie de la collection particulière de (nom du service). Je vais me rapprocher d'eux dès que je le pourrai afin d'essayer de comprendre ce que cela implique et, si toujours OK pour vous, je reviendrai vers vous. Encore merci, --Domenjod (talk) 18:22, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Bonjour, la nuit portant conseil, j'ai une question supplémentaire sur votre premier point (appartenance des photos au ministère) avant que je me rapproche de mes interlocuteurs : il me semble que de nombreux services (pas forcément de police) publient énormément de photos sur les réseaux sociaux. Pensez-vous que cette activité soit centralisée ou existe-t-il une forme de délégation d'autorité "de facto" pour cette activité? Merci d'avance. --Domenjod (talk) 08:09, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Les photos présentes sur les réseaux sociaux ne sont pas libres de droits, même lorsqu'elles sont "publique", il faut donc une autorisation supplémentaire. Mais normalement la même règle s'applique : lorsqu'un agent de l'État, quel qu'il soit, prend une photo dans le cadre de son travail, alors le "copyright" de la photo est détenu par l'État. Si la photo est prise à titre privé alors le "copyright" est détenu par le photographe, à moins, que le photographe ai librement cédé ses droit (généralement il faut une trace écrite, ou au moins un mail, ou une publication faites par lui-meme avec une licence compatible). Je tiens aussi à souligner que dans votre premier messages vous dites à propos des licences : "j'imagine un type assez restrictif mais compatible WP", attention Wikimedia Commons a des règles strictes, et l’auteur d'une photo doit consentir à autoriser les modifications ainsi que la réutilisation dans un but commercial. Voir com:Licensing. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 11:51, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Bien noté, merci. Pour la réutilisation, à mon avis, l'idéal aurait été une licence du type CC BY-NC-ND ou, au minimum, avec une exigence de reproduction à l'identique (d'où mon idée d'intégrer dans la photo un texte identifiant l'origine) et, si ça n'existe pas chez WP, ça complique un peu les choses...Mais en fait, je suis peut-être plus royaliste que le roi en matière d'exigences. Je vais vérifier ça. Merci encore. Je me permettrai de revenir vers vous en cas de besoin. Cdt, --Domenjod (talk) 13:31, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

deleted images

Hello Christian Ferrer.

I just read the message about the images that were deleted. I do not think there is a reason for this, because:

a) Yesterday I started the creation of a page in wikipedia about the "Ephemera Archive" (of which I am a member), which, because it is still incipient, has not yet been published (https://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php ? title = Ephemera & action = submit).

b) The edited images are the covers of the Ephemera Collection books (our property), published by Editora Tinta da china.

c) I am also co-author of two books.

d) The covers of these books are published on various websites, particularly in online bookstores.

From what I have just described I think there is no reason why the covers can not illustrate the entry in wikipedia on the Ephemera Archive, so I ask you to revert the delete done.

I am available for any additional clarification.

best regards

Júlio Sequeira

• Hello, for every thing that have been already published somewhere we requires that this publication was explicitly published under a compatible license, otherwise the copyright holder (even if it is you) have to send a permission to our permission system. In case of book covers the publishers usually also have some (if not the full) rights over the covers of the books that they publish. E.g. Stephen King himself can not give to us the permission to use one of his book covers, the permission must come from the publisher, but anyway even for the exceptional cases the copyright holder, whoever he is, must send a permission by email.

Wikidata Gallery update

Just as a heads-up, I rewrote {{Wikidata Gallery}} (or more precisely, created {{Wikidata list/Gallery item}}) so that it now uses Module:WikidataIB and should be multilingual in the same way as the infobox is. Existing galleries won't have been updated, though, you can update them by making this change (or using {{Wikidata Gallery}} to recreate it). Let me know if you spot any problems with the new version. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 23:00, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

File:OlgaGarcia.jpg

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your message regarding File:OlgaGarcia.jpg tagging. To be honest I need some help. License from author was provided via email and it is documented in this ticket - https://ticket.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom&TicketNumber=2018112210006505

The license is provided to all the pictures in the folder mentioned in my upload. I wanted to refer to this ticket when I uploaded this specific picture but if I chose the license I didnt find a place to add comments and if I chose other source license type was nowhere to be selected.

I am planning to upload more pictures from this folder, what is the best option to use to avoid creating more admin work for you and the other volunteers?

Thanks Junta (talk) 20:49, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

• Hello, there is a backlog for the permission system and there is a queue, before someone looks and confirm the permission. I don't have access myself to that system neither to your ticket above. You have to wait that an authorized user do it. I'm not a specialist about the permission system of Wikimedia Commons, but I guess you have to use {{OTRS pending}} with the right parameters, for the file mentioned above as well as for all the others potentially to come. If you have still difficulties I think that Commons:OTRS/Noticeboard is the right place to ask questions. Sorry for not being able to help you more. Note that if this is the same permission than for File:Laia Aleixandri.jpg, then the permission seems to have been already checked and maybe you should ask directly in Commons:OTRS/Noticeboard what to do for this file and for the other you want to upload.

Borrado de Fotos

Dear Cristian

I get in touch with you because image and video files of articles that were already published and others that I was preparing have been erased. All photos and videos are my property or I have authorization to use them. It is possible that being a novice has made some mistake when documenting them.

For all this I ask you to reconsider your decision or that you are so kind to indicate me what is the error so that I can solve it.

The deleted files are the following:

File:Barco de cerco de Pescaturismo.jpg

File:Barco de arrastre de Pescaturismo.jpg

File:Barco de palangre de Pescaturismo.jpg

File:Barco de artes menores de Pescaturismo.jpg

Thank you very much,

Merce Garcia

• Hello, the images were deleted because they have been previously published in the Web. Example File:Barco de artes menores de Pescaturismo.jpg can be seen in [1] that is "all right reserved". As per our policies com:Licensing and com:Scope we accept only free content. There is two way to upload this photo here, 1/a free compatible license is added at the bottom of the website instead of the "All right reserved", or 2/ the copyright holder, even if it is you, must send a permission to our permission system.

My work File:ДВД Агент национальной безопасности.jpg

ru:Википедия:Лицензирование_изображений#Цифровые_копии_и_фотокопии_объектов,_находящихся_в_общественном_достоянии

I took these photos. This is not a scanned image of some book or DVD cover, but a photo of the product and a collage created by me personally.

According to the laws of the United States of America, reproductions of two-dimensional objects of art (paintings, photographs, book illustrations) cannot be subject to copyright, unless the creation of a reproduction has made some creative contribution (for example, retouching effects). For example, if you take a photo of Dzhokondu from a direct perspective, your photo will not create a new copyright, and it can be used as a public domain (see the information about the trial Bridgeman Art Library against Corel).

Я сделал эти фотографии. Это не отсканированное изображение какой-то обложки книги или DVD, а фотография продукции и созданный лично мной колаж.

По законам Соединённых Штатов Америки репродукции двухмерных объектов искусства (картин, фотографий, книжных иллюстраций) не могут облагаться копирайтом, за исключением тех случаев, если при создании репродукции был внесён некий творческий вклад (например, эффекты ретуши). К примеру, если вы с прямого ракурса сфотографируете Джоконду, ваша фотография не создаст новый копирайт, и её можно будет использовать как общественное достояние (см. информацию о судебном разбирательстве Bridgeman Art Library против Corel). Geniusjun (talk) 17:14, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

• No this material is not free, see Commons:Derivative works and com:Licensing. Seeing your comment above, the question is more "how much is there of copyright infringement on this file alone?" rather than "is this file a copyright violation?". Regards, Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 17:42, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

This is the my work and a collage created by me personally! Geniusjun (talk) 22

58, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

• You can not take the little part of the USA copyright law that suits you, and then apply it to everything else. The allowed reproductions of two-dimensional objects of art are strictly for 2D objects (a DvD or a disc are not 2D objects) and strictly for Public Domain material.

Multilingual captions beta testing

The Structured Data on Commons team has begun beta testing of the first feature, multilingual file captions, and all community members are invited to test it out. Captions is based on designs discussed with the community[2][3] and the team is looking forward to hearing about testing. If all goes well during testing, captions will be turned on for Commons around the second week of January, 2019.

Multilingual captions are plain text fields that provide brief, easily translatable details of a file in a way that is easy to create, edit, and curate. Captions are added during the upload process using the UploadWizard, or they can be added directly on any file page on Commons. Adding captions in multiple languages is a simple process that requires only a few steps.

The details:

• There is a help page available on how to use multilingual file captions.
• Testing will take place on Beta Commons. If you don’t yet have an account set up there, you’ll need one.
• Beta Commons is a testbed, and not configured exactly like the real Commons site, so expect to see some discrepancies with user interface (UI) elements like search.
• Structured Data introduces the potential for many important page changes to happen at once, which could flood the recent changes list. Because of this, Enhanced Recent Changes is enabled as it currently is at Commons, but with some UI changes.
• Feedback and commentary on the file caption functionality are welcome and encouraged on the discussion page for this post.
• Some testing has already taken place and the team are aware of some issues. A list of known issues can be seen below.
• If you discover a bug/issue that is not covered in the known issues, please file a ticket on Phabricator and tag it with the “Multimedia” tag. Use this link to file a new task already tagged with "Multimedia."

Known issues:

• Search is not currently working on Beta Commons. Search is not needed for testing captions, but service should be restored soon.
• Language name display inconsistencies in multilingual file captions
• Language names for multilingual File captions can run into the caption value in the mobile view
• Deleting a caption field that has text that exceeds the limit does not re-enable the "publish" button
• "Edit" tab for past revisions should be "restore"
• When using the back button, recently added captions sometimes don't display in Chrome
• File Captions can't be edited on mobile browsers
• Wrong font weight for some language labels on SDC captions box

Thanks!

Image deleted on Cynthia Nielsen's page

Hi Christian, I own the image that I posted of Cynthia Nielsen. However, I am new to Wikipedia, so perhaps I did not follow protocol. I did read an entry and uploaded the image first to Wiki Commons. Can you help me as to what I should do to correct any errors so that I can reload the image?

image deletion question

Hi Christian, I own the image that I posted for Cynthia Nielsen's page. The image was also used for her Academia.edu website and PhilPeople website. Since I own it, I simply retrieved it from Internet. However, I can provide the original photograph. Should I reload the original photograph to Wiki Commons? If not, how should I proceed? Thank you very much for your help. --Kzolatova (talk) 17:09, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

• Hello Kzolatova, if you own an image that have been previously published somewhere where you can not change a restrictive license towards a license compatible within our policies, then the right way to proceed is to contact our permission system.

Deleting my photos

I noticed that you are trying to delete the photos that I took at the Bears game. I downloaded the photos on my computer and used the scissor tool to zoom in on individual players. Do you want me to send you all the original sized photos that I took at the game as proof? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LaDanian1000000 (talk • contribs) 06:47, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

• I'm not trying to delete yours photos, otherwise, as I am an administrator, I would have managed to do it. The photos are nominated for deletion in this page. All the comments you have to make about it, should be placed directly in the page, in order to help the closing administrator if they have to keep or to delete the files. I do not want you to send me photos, however if you indeed upload the original photos in Wikimedia Commons with the full resolution, and with EXIFs, that would make it very credible that the photos are "own works".

Why was my content deleted

Christian, I am the Digital Marketing Manager for Sentry Air Systems, and I am confused as to why we cannot use our photos and logo for our Wikidata page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaidlebird (talk • contribs) 18:36, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

• Hi,

First, to be eligible for hosting on Wikimedia Commons, all files and other content, included logos, must fall within the Commons scope.

Secondly, logos and trademarks are accepted in Wikimedia Commons only if

1. they are in public domain (help) for a specific reason; or
2. they are freely licensed by their owner, in such case please include a web link; or
3. they are below the threshold of originality; or
4. the copyright holder sends directly a permission to OTRS, where you can read how to do it. Note that even if it is you who are the copyright holder, you must send this permission.

Note also that the permissions system (OTRS) is run by volunteers and there is a queue, if your image has been deleted, and you have sent a permission (before or after deletion), do not re-upload again the erased image yourself, it's forbidden. If the permission is valid and the image meets the criteria of our project scope, then it will be automatically restored.

Regards, Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 20:23, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

File source is not properly indicated: File:Roreto.jpg

This media may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Roreto.jpg, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!
