File:Krishan Hooda.jpg deletion

Hi! I noticed you deleted File:Krishan Hooda.jpg. I'm the rightful owner of the said image and i'm in it. Please undo the deletion asap and ask me if you need any Declaration of Consent for Copyrighted Media. Also my user id acthooda is being used by 1.22.109.154 unlawfully and illegally. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emailforajit (talk • contribs) 05:47, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

Please have the copyright holder follow the directions at OTRS. The copyright holder is almost always the person who took the photograph. Daphne Lantier 16:05, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

Help

Daphne@ I observed that you deleted the files Whiteplains British School (Secondary School), Whiteplains British School Logo and Whiteplains British School (primary school) which I uploaded. You noted that they violated Wikipedia copyright polcies and guidelines. While my first attempt was unsuccessful because of copyright violation, this last upload attempt, I think, is perfect because I tried to apply appropriate copyright tags for the files. I think the file should be restored. Subsequently, I suspect that my last article Whiteplains British School is not on my sandbox, perhaps deleted as I await its review and acceptance on Wikipedia page. Can you help me?

OTRS permission from a representative of Whiteplains British School is required. Daphne Lantier 16:06, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

you deleted a public domain image that was uploaded to Wikipedia.

Hello Daphne,

I am somewhat confused today... as Wikipedia says that you requested that an image that I uploaded to be deleted. The image in question was the coat of arms for the Poswietne Municipality/District in Poland. The image is public domain, and yet the image has been removed from Wikipedia. Could you please help me out... and help me understand why this image had to be deleted? (or are all the American and other national (public domain) flags & emblems also being deleted from Wikipedia as of today?) I am very confused as to why the need was felt... to have a public domain image deleted.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aikidan (talk • contribs) 18:55, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of Ake-blomstrom_liten.jpg

Hi, I noticed today that you deleted "Ake-blomstrom_liten.jpg". I tried to upload it again, but this time with the "OTRS pending", and then ask the owner to send an email. But the uploading program informs me that you have deleted the file so I cannot upload it again. What is a good solution to this problem ? 123johanlindeberg (talk) 19:14, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Send the OTRS email and wait for the permission to be processed. The image will automatically be restored once the OTRS permission is confirmed. Daphne Lantier 22:41, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Dasha Panda (talk) 18:03, 24 June 2017 (UTC)DashaPanda

That logo is borderline, but OK. You can reference Commons:Threshold of originality#United States when you consider uploading a logo. You can find other countries listed at Commons:Threshold of originality. The USA has a high threshold of originality, so you can upload more complex logos. Other countries, like the UK only allow uploading of the most basic text logos. Daphne Lantier 18:28, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Can you zap this?

Based on this deletion nomination you just deleted Commons:Deletion requests/File:Sanantonio2.jpg the same editor Unioneuropea overwrote this image File:Escultura.jpg with a screenshot of the same deleted image. Maybe you can zap it as I have now reverted to the original image and I don't think we should keep the bad image. Thanks in advance. Ww2censor (talk) 19:58, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Deleted image

I complained to User:Wdwd when he closed this nomination Commons:Deletion requests/File:Hamat-Gader, 1976 - Job de Graaf.jpg less than 24 hours after being nominated. So, as the uploader has indicated he is trying to get an OTRS verification, I am surprised to see you closed what I consider would be a Less clear cases should remain open for at least seven days after just two and a half days. It is not for me to tell you the job but most admins seem to be a bit more measured in such cases. But thanks for all the work you do. Ww2censor (talk) 22:37, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

@Ww2censor: I closed this because it was failed today at license review ({{Unfree Flickr file|1=Elisfkc|2=ND}}). We don't usually leave the file up if it's ND on Flickr. What's the big difference between waiting for OTRS with the file deleted or still live? Myself or any other admin can restore it easily if and when OTRS is received and processed.

I don't appreciate your insulting passive aggressive comment about telling me my job and other admins being more measured. Keep those unpleasant comments to yourself if you post any further messages on my talk. Thanks. Daphne Lantier 22:47, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

I am well aware a deleted file can be restored by you or any other admin but I believe closing quite so quickly tends to frustrate those less experienced uploaders who might appreciate a few days to try and solve their problem especially when OTRS is so backlogged these days. I think you are overreacting to a pretty simple question about a deletion closure. If you consider my comments insulting, passive aggressive or unpleasant I think you are taking my question far too seriously but I aplogise; in fact I acknowledged the hard work you do and I specifically did not tell you your job but asked if this was not a case for a slower close based on my experience here dealing with copyright issues. I could use far less tact but that's not my style. So let me ask you a question, if the file had an {{OTRS pending}} template, would you still have closed the nomination so quickly? Ww2censor (talk) 23:39, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
If the file had an OTRS pending tag, do you think Elisfkc would've failed the license review? Maybe you should tell him to be a bit more measured? Now, unless you've actually got something to say, aside from phoney self-justification, please stop wasting my time. Daphne Lantier 00:25, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of Diane Lemieux photo

Hi, you have deleted the picture of Diane Lemieux French and English wikipedia page. What is the procedure to get a photo up on the bio... This picture is authorized and official. I can have Diane Lemieux's personnal approval note if needed! It's the first time I work on editing wiki pages... i'm unaware of the procedure...

This was deleted as per Commons:Deletion requests/File:Diane Lemieux Commission de la construction du Québec.jpg. The image in question was uploaded by you, and claimed as "own work" and also by User:Julie Gascon in April. Julie Gascon attributed the photo to Commission de la construction du Québec. To host the image on Commons, we would require OTRS permission from the copyright holder of the image. Diane Lemieux is the subject of the image, so I don't think she would be the copyright holder. That would be either Commission de la construction du Québec or the photographer. Daphne Lantier 22:09, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

North Korean images

Hi Daphne, I notice you made mistakes with your closures of Commons:Deletion requests/File:Laika ac Yanggakdo Hotel Lobby (6894948461).jpg, Commons:Deletion requests/File:Laika ac Yanggakdo Hotel (7984286520).jpg and Commons:Deletion requests/File:Getting a North Korean suit made in Pyongyang (10295124953).jpg. The deletion rationale was invalid, the content is in scope, and one file was in active use on two different projects when you deleted them. These images should have been kept, so I've re-closed these images as being Kept. There may be some value in discussing our approach to images which could be regarded as North Korea propaganda in future, however. Nick (talk) 12:34, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

File:1893 Hermann Blodig.jpg

Hello Daphne, you deleted File:1893 Hermann Blodig.jpg because of a copyright violation. The paintings in Category:Wenzel Ottokar Noltsch are all from the same painter (who passed away in 1908) and source, therefore maybe all these files have to be deleted as well. I thought that these images are public domain, because the painter died more than 70 years ago. In addition, some of the images from Category:Faculty of TU Wien are from the same source, but from other painters (they also passed away more than 70 years ago), like File:1927 Max von Ferstel.jpg, File:1928 Johann Oser.jpg, File:Oskar Primavesi 1936.jpg and File:1909 Eduard Dolezal.jpg. Thanks a lot! --M2k~dewiki (talk) 12:59, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

No, this was a mistake on my part and that of the person who tagged it for deletion. PD-Art applies here, so I've reversed my action and undeleted the file. My apologies for the trouble. Daphne Lantier 16:17, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Dear Daphne, your first action was definitely right! The photograph of the portrait of Hermann Blodig was taken in 2015 by Thomas Györik, member of the Archives of TU Wien. The portrait, which is in custody of our archives, was photographed for the publication that was the source of the scan. This fact is stated in the photo credits in the book on p.155. I asked our legal department and they are sure that this case is a clear violations of (Austrian) copyright: - The name of the photographers are not mentioned (Thomas Györik, Erich Jiresch - as stated in the photo credits on p. 155) - No one ever asked the photographers and/or the owner of the copyright (TU Wien/Archives of TU Wien)for usage on wikipedia. Please delete the photo of Hermann Blodig and all of the scans of https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Rektoren_der_Technischen_Universit%C3%A4t_Wien that were taken of "Eine Sammlung von außerordentlicher Geschlossenheit, ISBN 978-3-205-20113-7 (Festschrift 200 Jahre TU Wien, Band 13)".

Deletion of File:United States Air Forces in Europe.svg

I see you removed this image for alleged copyright violation. I find no further explanation, nor can I locate any discussion prior to your removal of the image. I find this removal incredible. The page with the image included the template:


Public domain
This image shows a flag, a coat of arms, a seal or some other official insignia produced by the United States Army Institute of Heraldry. It is in the public domain but its use is restricted by Title 18, United States Code, Section 704 [1] and the Code of Federal Regulations (32 CFR, Part 507) [2], [3]. Permission to use these images in the USA for most commercial purposes must be obtained from The Institute of Heraldry prior to their use.

Deutsch ∙ English ∙ فارسی ∙ 日本語 ∙ русский ∙ +/−

which expressly explains that the image is in the public domain for non-commercial use and included references -- and (now dead) links to the sections of the United States Code and the Code of Federal Regulations that does this. I cannot see how this image's use on Wikipedia violates copyright. Lineagegeek (talk) 11:18, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

This is an interesting case for other DoD related files. I see the original link at http://web.archive.org/web/20061215000000*/www.usafe.af.mil/shared/media/ggallery/other/afg_021220_004.eps and that the PNG version exists on Commons. It could be that the file was highlighted as having no source, because the original page no longer exists. If that is the case, we may need to look at how automated flagging of files like this are handled. --Fæ (talk) 11:58, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
The CSD tag was the following: {{copyvio|1=It is not entirely free (see Licensing: ''Permission to use these images in the USA for most commercial purposes must be obtained from The Institute of Heraldry prior to their use.'') and hence not suitable for Commons.}}. Daphne Lantier 16:54, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
Are there any working links that explain this part of Federal law? The links in the template are dead. --Fæ (talk) 20:34, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
Pinging the editor who tagged this, @Cccefalon: , maybe he can provide further info. Daphne Lantier 21:19, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
Please see Template talk:PD-USGov-Military-Army-USAIOH. This is essentially a non-copyright restriction that is of no concern for Commons. The template states that "most commercial purposes" require permission but not all commercial purposes. This is sometimes misunderstood but imo there is consensus from previous discussions that the template is in fact a valid PD tag. So without a new general discussion about the template, this file should be restored. At least it should not have been a speedy deletion but you should have converted it to a full DR. De728631 (talk) 21:31, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
That sounds like an NC license to me. If other admins/editors have come up with a loophole theory for using it, I think that's dishonest. As for a DR, I disagree with you. NC licensed files are eligible for speedy deletion. Daphne Lantier 21:42, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
My point is that we should first have gotten rid of this long-standing template before speedily deleting any files affected by it. De728631 (talk) 22:07, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
Consensus may change, but 10 years ago, this was actually discussed and closed as "keep". De728631 (talk) 22:09, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
OK, that makes more sense too me. I have no objection to restoring the image, but I can't do it myself because I just don't feel comfortable restoring an image with what seems to me like a license based on trickery. This decade old decision is suspect at best, and I hope it can be overturned...though the inclusionists fight tooth and nail over things like this. They usually bury what they don't like in elaborate walls of text... Daphne Lantier 02:11, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
Well, I think in this case the rationale is rather simple and doesn't have to be buried in a TLDR wall of text: The upload restrictions at Commons are only based on copyright concerns and project scope. As a part of this we don't accept NC licenses, but since this image is PD anyway as a work of the US Fed government, there is no copyright and no required licence at all. So the commercial restriction is not a copyright thing and therefore not a problem for Commons. The same reasoning has been used for ages when it comes to PD banknotes that are subject to {{Counterfeiting}} restrictions. De728631 (talk) 11:54, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
I don't have much experience in this area, so it's still slow going. I trust your judgement though, so I've gone ahead and restored the file. I appreciate the guidance. Daphne Lantier 15:26, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
Thank you, too, for restoring the file. De728631 (talk) 13:09, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

OTRS for Files uploaded by Leire Cano

Hello Daphne Lantier: I am writing to you to ask for help. I am going to ask the book covers copyright owners for OTRS permission, but I think for doing that the files must be already uploaded to Commons. As files has been deleted (see here), how can I do now? If OTRS emails arrive, will be the deleted files become undeleted automatically? Or they must be undeleted and put in them an {{subst:OP}} template until the OTRS email arrives? I hope you could help me with this misgivings.

Your reviews of some Pixabay sourced images

Hello Daphne, you reviewed some images copied to Commons from Pixabay. Unfortunately you did use the wrong license tag template. Please fix this. I am not a license reviewer, so I couldn’t repair this on my own. What you have to do is: Remove {{cc-zero}} and {{LicenseReview|…}} and insert {{Pixabay}} with the necessary params by using {{subst:PBLR|<ID>}} with <ID> being the file ID which is the last, numerical part of the source URL. As far as I see these files are affected:

As side effect the explicit addition of [[Category:Images from Pixabay]] should be removed.

Though originally not reviewed by you perhaps you could also fix three other affected files? I speak of

All three reviewed by INeverCry.
— Speravir – 01:02, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

@Speravir: When me and INC reviewed these, the use of that new template system wasn't standardized yet. I'm satisfied that I faithfully reviewed each image, and I stand by my reviews. I'm too busy right now to do the suggested changes. I've given you temporary Image Reviewer status (for 1 week) so that you can make the changes if you care to. I don't doubt you would be able to make these changes much faster and easier than I could. Daphne Lantier 01:25, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
Thank you (again :-)) for your confidence in me. I will try my best, of course. Probably it would be the best to request this right regularily, but I have to look first where to do this, step by step. As side remark I just noticed that {{Pixabay}} is not mentioned in Commons:License review which I will fix, too. And this leads to another annoying thing: the need for (translation) administrators for all pages translated with Extension:Translate. — Speravir – 02:27, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
The license review stuff is easy, but, as you say, to get anything but short temporary status, a request at Commons:License review/requests would be needed. But the files are already reviewed. My and INC's reviews should be kept and only format changes should be made if possible. The translation admin stuff is pretty easy too. You can let me know when you've done the update, and I can mark the pages for translation myself, or you can request the task at COM:AN. I should be around though. Daphne Lantier 02:59, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
Ha, I did exactly your “My and INC's reviews should be kept and only format changes should be made if possible” in parallel to your answer mm. All files are now fixed (also the 3 Chicago Bride files, INeverCry), you can revoke the license reviewer right. Thank you, too, for the other information. And I will leave a notice, when I have updated the other page. — Speravir – 03:46, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello again, Daphne, meanwhile I added Pixabay stuff to Commons:License review, so you could mark it for translation. But as native English speaker take a look, please, whether this should be corrected: Under item “Thank you” these sentences “You can use the following message template, please, replace Foo.jpg with the real name …” and the text in the source box for a thanks message (i.e. English Wikipedia or the English Wikipedia?). — Speravir – 20:13, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

On another note: I was told that Commons:Translators' noticeboard is for translation requests, but there is on (follow-up) request of mine open for days (on bottom). Could you be so kind? — Speravir – 20:20, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

I've marked the LR page for translation. The other page looks like Tacsipacsi has marked the newest updates by you and Simon for translation. Daphne Lantier 20:31, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

File:WindowsDVDPlayer.svg

Hello,

Why has this file been speedy deleted? The icon is made up of simple geometric shapes and therefore doesn't meant the Threshold of originality. It is therefore in the public domain. Maybe it was because of the licensing mistake? WikIan (talk) 18:05, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

This was deleted because it's available under fair use at en.wiki: w:File:DVD Player (Windows 10) icon.png. Commons doesn't except fair use as per COM:FU. Daphne Lantier 18:09, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
I would argue that the original listing in en wiki is wrong. Fair Use states that an image must be "a copyright-protected computer icon", but if it fails the threshold of originality, how is it copyrighted? WikIan (talk) 21:28, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
In any case, this version is an SVG version that I created myself and is NOT the low-res PNG version on en.wiki WikIan (talk) 21:31, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
Png or Svg, we can't have a fair use file on en.wiki and at Commons at the same time. Daphne Lantier 21:33, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
Did you even read my first statement? I satated the it's not fair use, it's in the public domain. Who else can I bring this up with. WikIan (talk) 22:46, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
The people over on en.wiki don't think it's free, otherwise they wouldn't have uploaded it under fair use. Anyways, you can go to COM:UDEL where you can request the file be undeleted. Daphne Lantier 23:29, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

File:Belleruth Naparstek.jpg

Why did you wrongfully delete the Belleruth Naparstek.jpg and what do we need to do to make it so that, after we upload it again, it does not get deleted again?

Naparstek (talk) 22:22, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

You stated on the file's talk: "The photo is owned by Belleruth Naparstek. She permitted the University of Chicago to use the photo under a Creative Commons license". We need OTRS permission from either Karen Ollis or Belleruth Naparstek (whichever one is the copyright holder). Please don't re-upload the image on your own. Doing so may lead to your account being blocked. Thanks. Daphne Lantier 22:42, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

It's a publicity photo! It exists for the public to use it. This should not have been removed. You have no reason to remove it.

Belleruth Naparstek is 75-years-old. She doesn't know how to upload her own photo. I am doing it for her. Photographer Karen Ollis shot this photo for Belleruth Naparstek's publicity use and does not have the time or interest to go back and forth with random Wikimedia editors. I have permission and copyright to upload this photo. Everyone involved in the shooting and ownership of this photo wants it to be available for public use. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Naparstek (talk • contribs) 22:55, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

So, based on this OTRS page it sounds like you require Karen Ollis or Belleruth Naparstek to send an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org? And then Belleruth and Karen have to wait 40 days for some random volunteer to approve this?

Wouldn't the better policy be to let Belleruth Naparstek use the photo of Belleruth Naparstek and wait until someone complains about a possible copyright violation before taking it down? Because no one is complaining about the use of this photo.

This Kafka-esque nonsense all seems so wildly contrary to the original, communal spirit of Wikipedia. Naparstek (talk) 22:53, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

I agree with you that the policy can be slow and cumbersome, but it's policy, so I have to uphold it as an administrator. COM:EVID requires OTRS permission when you're uploading a file that you yourself don't own the copyright for. OTRS permission is a must from either Karen Ollis or Belleruth Naparstek, whichever lady owns the copyright for the file. Daphne Lantier 23:21, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Daphne. Just wanted to let you know that the following email has been sent to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org by Karen Ollis, the photographer who took the photo that you flagged for copyright violation. Karen gives her permission to use this photograph on Wikipedia. And, actually, she was quite pleased that Wikipedia is so diligent about protecting her copyright. So, please excuse my crankiness the other day...

Appealing a deletion[edit] Deletions which are correct based on the current deletion, project scope and licensing policies will not be undone. Proposals to change the policies may be done on their talk pages. If you believe the file in question was neither a copyright violation nor outside the current project scope: You may want to discuss with the administrator who deleted the file. You can ask the administrator for a detailed explanation or show evidence to support undeletion. If you do not wish to contact anyone directly, or if an individual administrator has declined undeletion, or if you want an opportunity for more people to participate in the discussion, you can request undeletion on this page. If the file was deleted for missing evidence of licensing permission from the copyright holder, please follow the procedure for submitting permission evidence. If you have already done that, there is no need to request undeletion here. If the submitted permission is in order, the file will be restored when the permission is processed.

Deletion comment

Please see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/2017/07/01 and notice the large number of images nominated by one person as "Out of scope!" It appears someone has gone through the "Wiki Loves India" submissions and nominated a huge pile of them for scope concerns. It doesn't make much sense to me, I looked at a few of them. Some of them are just images of guys, others are really nice images of India daily. It seems there's some kind of game at work. Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 15:26, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

This is the result of confusion between images that are in scope of Wiki Loves India and images that are generally within Commons project scope. When closing these, we need to be careful to keep images that're in project scope and delete out of scope images, and not to worry about Wiki Loves India. Many of the Wiki Loves India participants are new users who aren't familiar with overall project scope. Daphne Lantier 17:17, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Explanation request

Hi Daphne Lantier, you deleted File:Assist grav bepicolombo.png some hours ago. Could you explain me which was the copyright violation, please? I found the notices that Huntster left to LobStoR and Paoloo31 in their talk pages, but I haven't found a declared motivation. Has CNES changed its copyright policies from 2010 to now?

Could you please indicate me the link to the License Tag, related to CNES, which was present in the file description? I couldn't find it. Was it used just in that page?

When you deleted the File, you declared "empty category". Thank you. --Harlock81 (talk) 09:01, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

Harlock81, my deletion statement was as follows:

Image uploaded as public domain, but statement by CNES from the era when this was uploaded (http://web.archive.org/web/20090731224137/http://smsc.cnes.fr/html-images/Rights.html) clearly states that "You may reproduce any content on this site for non-commercial purposes, provided you cite the source of the information (Copyrights 2006 - © CNES or other source)", and image is clearly marked as belonging to CNES. Even the current statement at https://cnes.fr/en/fiches_mission_alpha (bottom of page) states "Therefore, and without limitation, the rights to (i) reproduce, represent, adapt and/or translate, (ii) extract, or (iii) create any derivative work from all or part of the CNES Web site and/or its content, are formally and strictly forbidden except in the frame of the private copy exception or for educational purpose."

So yes, the CNES policies have shifted slightly over time, but they have and still do restrict commercial usage, which makes them ineligible for Commons. — Huntster (t @ c) 11:28, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

Undeletion Request & Deletion Request - Rebecca Mader

Hi Daphne, can you please undelete the File:Rebecca Mader May 2017.jpg This is a free image, taken by me. I have the original uncropped image if you would like to see it, as well as multiple other photos I took of Rebecca Mader at the same time. Rebecca posted this current photo on her Instagram account @bexmader and gave me (Marc Kayne) photo credit, specifically to prove that this is my photo.

Additionally, I'd like to put in a request asking if you could please delete the following image from WikiCommons File:Rebecca Mader January 2015.jpg as this is not a free image. This image has been cropped and the person who uploaded the this file to Flickr can not be the holder of the copyright as they are the person standing in the original photo with Rebecca Mader and therefore could not have taken the picture.

Can you undelete this file and let us take it to a discussion, please? User:Yann declared it was not copyrighted after one user constantly keeps trying to get it deleted. It came directly from the White House website with no OTRS or any other form saying that the author doesn't want it used. A discussion would be more appropriate.

@Corkythehornetfan: I restored it, but it was pretty quickly re-deleted by Nick, a much more experienced admin than me, and someone who is no doubt more familiar with this case. Your options of course are to discuss it with Nick, and go from there, or to post a request at COM:UDEL. Daphne Lantier 06:06, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
I saw, I appreciate your help! I'm not going to worry about it any longer. My main concern was one Admin. had said it was fine and another user trying to delete it. It's a shame that the photo isn't in the PD. Thanks again, Corkythehornetfan (ping me) 06:32, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
@Corkythehornetfan: Yes, it's becoming rather annoying now, what should be a work of a Federal Government employee, with the resulting automatic PD 'release' is unfortunately a work of a private contractor who has informed us via OTRS that he did not agree to the file being made available under a Creative Commons licence (though he did not file a DMCA takedown request). I've absolutely no objection to the file being discussed for undeletion, but as there are so many other copies and derivatives we've deleted now, and because the Donald Trump portraits have the same issue, any discussion would need to be one larger central discussion given the number of images any undeletion would impact. Nick (talk) 07:56, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
@Corkythehornetfan: I would recommend going to UNDEL and see if a precedent can be set. I would support any Whitehouse released photograph, and by extension any government or government agency photograph, that gets challenged on copyright grounds to be obliged to raise a DMCA notice, rather than allowing the non-legal informality of an OTRS request. OTRS volunteers are not lawyers and cannot give legal advice, so should not be left in a position where they are making a final determination on behalf of Commons in secret. The official releases should be reliably non-revokable and if the claimed copyright holder wishes to assert their claim, in my view there is nothing wrong with asking for a DMCA notice which forces them to make a public legally binding statement. --Fæ (talk) 10:15, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

@Nick: I think this would come down to who paid the photographer. If US Gov funds were used, it'd be PD. If Trump and Pence paid him from their own private/personal accounts, then it'd be copyrighted. PumpkinSky talk 10:58, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
Additionally, some people argue that the file is under a free license, as mentioned on the source (sorry, I don't remember the details). Regards, Yann (talk) 11:44, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
There's certainly a case for that. PumpkinSky talk 11:49, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

how to upload the picture to Commons, without it being removed?

Hi Daphne,

I am making an article about Unmani Liza Hyde.

I want to put one photograph of her. I tried to upload it to Commons, and I see that you deleted it, maybe because there was not yet a copyright waiver of the owner of the picture. Now I have the waiver, she (Unmani Liza Hyde) sent it already to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org, on 10th July. Can I try to upload it now? The file name is: UnmaniLizaHyde2016.jpeg

Once the the OTRS permission is processed and confirmed, an OTRS agent will automatically make sure that the file is restored, so there's no need for you to re-upload it. Daphne Lantier 18:40, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Don't forget the delinker

When you delete something the delinker removes it. So if you make a mistake, please check it and undo (done in this case). Thank you, Multichill (talk) 17:01, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Deletion File:Banner of the Inca Empire.svg

Hi, I just joined Wikiproyecto:Perú on Spanish Wikipedia, and I noticed you had deleted this flag. I was curious about the reason for deletion. Thanks! Furicorn (talk) 16:51, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

It looks like the newest version was taken from https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/43/ae/9b/43ae9b46098839a5d08cae9506309d2f.jpg.

UDEL

Hi Daphne, I'm afraid but it seems you just fell for some long-term sock scheme at COM:UDEL. While the copyright status of these files may be ok, the uploader is no longer welcome. See steward Vituzzu's earlier revert and mine. While I'm not particularly afraid of out-of-copyright images being restored, I wanted to let you know that others could interpret this as wheelwarring. De728631 (talk) 22:18, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

@De728631: I had no idea. I'll leave such requests alone from now on. My apologies. Daphne Lantier 01:53, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Undeletion request

Hello Daphne Lantier,

I am handling ticket:2017071510009535. Could you please restore File:Rebecca Mader May 2017.jpg as it has a valid permission now?

And another question: I am not very familiar with Commons procedures. Is it OK to go to the talk page of admins with undeletion request when dealing with OTRS tickets? I mean is there is any public (general) page for such requests? I do not want to bother admins with my requests. Thank you so much. 4nn1l2 (talk) 09:04, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

@4nn1l2: OTRS agents usually post their undeletion requests at COM:UDEL, but it's no big deal. I've restored the above image, so go ahead and add the OTRS ticket as soon as you get a chance. Daphne Lantier 18:23, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Good girls always help

Hi Daphne.

  • We need help to revert a wrong move made on the cat «Yeoreum (Cosmic Girls)». It was moved to "Yeoreum", while we have two vocalists with the same name. Therefore, I kindly request you to make "Yeoreum" a p of disam for «Yeoreum (Cosmic Girls)» and Category:Yeoreum (Hello Venus). Please see Commons:Categories for discussion/2017/07/Category:Yeoreum.
  • On the other hand, a redlink user wrote some personal attack words on my TP, possibly because I DR'ed some of their files. I deleted the talk as it contains very rude wording, which I prefer not to translate. I kindly request you to rev/del it.

Thanks in advance and have a good day. --E4024 (talk) 07:07, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Files uploaded by Najtingalino

Hello

I'm monitoring an article on French Wikipedia, where some images were obvious copyvios. After you deleted the files listed on Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Najtingalino, one of them has been re-uploaded and another one is probably a duplicate, both by a different user. Can you have a look at it?

Thanks, Trizek from FR 17:21, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Undeletion request

Hello, I'm not the original uploader of the file, but I'm interested in having this file - File:ArthurGrimsdell.jpg undeleted. I started a discussion at the Village pump [10], and it has been suggested that there may be a case for undeletion. The reason being that the image was previously published on 25 April 1921 in a British newspaper Leeds Mercury with no attribution. The scanned page of the newspaper can be seen here - [11] (registration is required to view the page), the relevant image is at the bottom right corner . The photographer appears to be unknown from a search of the web and books (e.g. [12]). As such it may qualify as public domain {{PD-UK-unknown}} and {{PD-1923}}. Gettyimages has claimed copyright on this image [13] and credited the image to Topical Press Agency and an unnamed photographer (referred by the generic term "stringer"), although it would seem that the copyright might have already expired. Hzh (talk) 17:40, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

I would suggest that you post this at COM:UDEL. Daphne Lantier 17:43, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Wow indeed for 39 support. I think that is the highest ever. In the last two years, we've only had four images I can find with 30 or more supports:

  • 2017 30 support
    2017 30 support
  • 2017 32 support
    2017 32 support
  • 2016 33 support

It's great to see images like this, and many others at FPC that roll through, quickly collecting a bunch of supports. It makes me feel like the work I do as an admin is all the more worthwhile, seeing that Commons really does have professional quality free images and pro photogs.

OpenStreetMap file

Hi Daphne. I had restored this per a request on COM:REFUND, as the copyright actually is OpenStreetMap's and the license is cc-by-sa-2.0. Apparently I forgot to remove the {{Copyvio}} though (d'oh!).
