Deleted media

Hi! You deleted an upload I did, titled Prof Bo Niklasson, and also a cropped version. I believe that the first deletion was in error. Indicated on the source Flickr page is that the photo may be used if credit is given. I provided a link back to the source on Flickr. I can be okay with the cropped version not being okay, since they forbid derivative works, but the first is an unaltered original. This is the picture source. https://www.flickr.com/photos/37799286@N08/8056484310 --Asterdroid (talk) 19:19, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

@Asterdroid: Commons does not allowed media licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivatives (CC-BY-ND), which is what that image is licensed under. Even though you didn't alter it, Commons still does not allow them on here, because it severely limits what we are able to do with the image (cropping, color balance, etc.) Elisfkc (talk) 19:22, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
Ok, I see. I have to find another picture for the article then. Thanks for explaining! Asterdroid (talk) 09:37, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Elisfkc, when you found this file, did you noticied the Commons and Flickr username matches? There is a reasonable proof the uploader is the copyright holder, therefore, requesting proof of authorship should be better than claiming the license at Flickr is invalid claiming the uploader and the Flcikr user is not the same person. --Amitie 10g (talk) 20:56, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

@Amitie 10g: Which is why I followed your instructions and opened Commons:Deletion requests/File:Pierre Yves Gomez2.jpg. I think Ww2censor tagged it again. Elisfkc (talk) 20:58, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
Yes, I just noticied that... but the file has been out of process speedied. Expect the uploader to provide proof. Thanks. --Amitie 10g (talk) 21:34, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Watermark

Hi Elisfkc, you set the template, that there are watermarks on this picture. But you can see, the photo is transferred from Flickt from a public domain, so I haven't other versions and I'am not abel to remove these - what should I do? in this case? -K@rl (talk) 18:44, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

@Karl Gruber: You don't have to do anything. It's just a template to notify anyone who is going to use the image. Elisfkc (talk) 18:45, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Warning sign
This media was probably deleted.
Thanks for uploading File:The Garden of Afflictions 2017 Movie Poster PT-BR.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.

Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own).

The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:The Garden of Afflictions 2017 Movie Poster PT-BR.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Your VFC installation method is deprecated

Hello Elisfkc, we are aware that using the old installation method of VFC (via common.js, which you are using) may not work reliably anymore and can break other scripts as well. A detailed explanation can be found here. Important: To prevent problems please remove the old VFC installation code from your common.js and instead enable the VFC gadget in your preferences. Thanks! --VFC devs (q) 16:24, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

galtzerdi suizida liburuaren azala.jpg file in flikr

Hello Elisfkc,

This file : galtzerdisuizidaliburuarenazala.jpg https://www.flickr.com/photos/donostiakultura/33767446904/in/album-72157663754060043/ has creative commons license CC-BY-SA 2.0 in FLIKR (Donostia Kultura)

Regards, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smatxi (talk • contribs) 11:14, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

@Smatxi: Correct, but it is a book cover, meaning that it is likely not the Flickr user's work, so they do not have the right to change the copyright status. Elisfkc (talk) 17:12, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Oh, thankyou about the advice, I didn't know the existence of this tool.STS Manager (talk) 19:04, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Could you please not renominate the files which were kept in your previous nomination, i.e. File:Disneyland Paris - panoramio (20).jpg. Otherwise, thanks for your contributions. Regards, Yann (talk) 08:25, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

@Yann: Must have missed that one as already having been nominated. My apologies, I meant to skip those that have already been kept. Elisfkc (talk) 19:58, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Current work

Hi,

please don't revert my edits : as I said in my answer I am currently dealing with a film producter/director who will send an authorization when I'm finished. He just asked specifically for a link to his website to be put in source for each image. I have about another hundred to upload, afterwards I'll send him the OTRS authorization email to send back to commons. Thanks ! JJ Georges (talk) 20:25, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

RE: Flickr2Commons

Marco Andreu

Hello User, please let me know if you need any further proof, which I could only provide to 2-3 days, the picture is needed for a wikipedia article we are releasing.

INFO: All pictures you tagged as posible copyright infringement are public domain, because the author has not uploaded them nor protected them in any way where the ownership would change, the first photo is the one he uploaded to his youtube profile ( Profile ) Then facebook official page: His profile picture and last Selloazul .


After proof being provided, we (Sr. Andreu included) would greatly/enormously appreciate warn labels to be removed. Thanks - Fernandosmither (talk) 20:55, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

@Fernadosmither: It works the other way around. It is copyrighted until the author says that they released it under a certain license. We need proof of that release, which can be provided by following the instructions on OTRS. Elisfkc (talk) 21:01, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Template:ISOdate

Hey there. Noticed you were including {{ISOdate}} in {{Information}} templates. This is unnecessary as "Information" automatically calls on "ISOdate" through the date field. I would suggest using {{Taken on}} instead (no additional formatting necessary), as that will automatically add the "Category:Photographs taken on..." category to the description page. Saves a little bit of time when one remembers to use it. Cheers! Huntster (t @ c) 21:20, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

@Huntster: I'm just using User:Magog the Ogre/cleanup.js which is the one adding ISO date. Elisfkc (talk) 21:55, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
Aha, interesting. Sorry for the confusion. Huntster (t @ c) 21:58, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Apologies, but I had no idea the random user from Flickr from whom I downloaded the image and uploaded to Wikimedia Commons has been marked as a one with the connection to copyright. violation.

Hi, I'm sorry about my misunderstanding of the licensing. Is "Attribution-NoDerivs 2.0 Generic (CC BY-ND 2.0)" unsuitable for use everywhere within WP, or just on the commons? Thanks. El cid, el campeador (talk) 19:28, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

@El cid, el campeador: It is unsuitable for commons and not able to be used for a person who is still alive on English Wikipedia. I do not know about anywhere else. Elisfkc (talk) 19:29, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Kaworu Nagisa plugsuit cosplay.jpg question

Hi! I just read your message in my User talk. I'm Italian, and the template you added in the file seems to suggest to upload a version of the file with the same name but without watermark. But in the previous version of the file I actually removed that. I'm not an expert at all of Wikimedia Commons, so I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to do. Just re-upload the previous version?--TeenAngels1234 (talk) 08:19, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Marking reviewed Flickr files with no source when an original source exists

Please avoid using the no source tag when a Flickr source is given and the file has been correctly reviewed. The fact that a source may have moved or been taken down does not affect the status of the uploaded file. The no source tag is highly unlikely to result in new sources getting discovered, and these files should not be put at risk of deletion. If there is a reason to delete the file, then use the normal DR process. -- (talk) 19:33, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

@AntonierCH: Read the NASA image use policy and see {{PD-NASA}}. They override the Flickr license. Elisfkc (talk) 16:27, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
Hello! Sorry for this, but the flickr license is clearly NC-ND and the NASA image use policy says "unless told otherwise". The flickr account seems to represent the NASA officially and I would say that in this case, we can't use these files on Commons. Feel free to prove me wrong. What do you think? --AntonierCH (d) 16:31, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
@AntonierCH: I've uploaded many images from this stream and other NASA Flickr streams in the past with similar licenses. The idea seems to be that all images taken by a NASA employee are {{PD-NASA}}. Images from these streams taken by non-NASA employees (ULA, SpaceX, the Russian space agency, the ESA, etc.) are not ok. The belief seems to be that they've screwed up, though as I am reading the policy, it is likely they selected CC-NC-ND to conform with their rules on advertisements (since posting under free licenses or US Gov would make it look like anyone can use their images for ads). Elisfkc (talk) 16:44, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
Maybe, maybe not. In all cases, I can't pass these as "valid" and can't take this responsibility. However, I can transform them in a DR so that the community chose what is right. Does that seem ok to you? --AntonierCH (d) 16:47, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
@AntonierCH: Yea, I guess so. Elisfkc (talk) 16:48, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
I was about to do that myself. I think that's the best solution, AntonierCH. The flickr description explicitly links to NASA's Image Use Policy, which means they are almost certainly keepers, but it would be good to have this discussed so that they aren't re-tagged as copyvios in the future by others. Storkk (talk) 16:51, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
@Storkk: Exactly my thoughts :-) Feel free to add your opinion on the DR. --AntonierCH (d) 16:52, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Mistake?

Hi Elisfkc, you left a message on my talk to say that you were concerned with the copyright on "File:Esther Audu in Apartment 24 from irokotv.png" from irokotv.png. Fair enough. However someone has deleted it without debate. This means more work to do for all involved. If you look at the link below then you will see that IrokoTV allows reuse under creative commons. They allow it to be reused and they are a TV company with this policy - we need to applaud this?. This was noted (I believe) in the file that is now deleted. Could you explain or restore please (as we are trying to increase articles on women and African culture.)

Look here .... regards Victuallers (talk) 08:23, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

@Victuallers: The issue is that it is a screenshot from a movie that does not seemed to be owned by IrokoTv. Elisfkc (talk) 02:44, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
Not the big issue to me. My worry is that we are questioning the legality of operation of a major company, I suspect that if it had Fox in its name then we would AGF. Armed with a dozen lawyers and 6 months in court then you may be convinced, but at some point we have to assume that they know their business and they have paid for the rights to do what they are doing. If they are not then they will pay damages. The court will not chase around the world trying to find every site that worked on that information. See! you've sucked me in to this imaginatorium. Have some faith! This the biggest legal African TV rights company and you think we can second guess them! .... and why are you discussing it here, surely this is just making more unproductive debate? Victuallers (talk) 06:48, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
@Victuallers: No, per COM:PCP we can't "assume that they know their business and they have paid for the rights to do what they are doing". There is enough doubt that this media is copyrighted, that's it. --AntonierCH (d) 16:44, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
What is the point in checking if we don't expect the premier distributor in Africa to behave legally. Does the BBC own the copyright to its programs. Are you sure? Is this based on the idea that they are an African distributor? I assume not. But are you saying that is ABC, BBC, Getty images or whatever place cc-by-sa on work on their web sites then we should question whether they actually own the copyright? This would be a ridiculous lack of trust IMO. And lets me say again. Why are we debating this here? Victuallers (talk) 09:07, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

File:Tay-K-MugShot.jpg

You noted that https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tay-K-MugShot.jpg "This is from Texas, not Florida or the Federal government" and while true about the Florida thing (Mistake my part, sorry.) I originally messed up putting that there because I meant to put a template for Texas, now I realized there is none so now I have to explain how this mugshot is in the public domain.

Texas Government Code, Chapter 552, gives you the right to access government records. Mugshots are counted as public record, it is even noted on the wikipedia page for Mug shot publishing (reference here where it is explained that Mugshots are public record, and another reference here.) Is this issue resolved? WolvesS (talk) 18:16, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

@WolvesS: Nope. Just because you have access and something is in the public record does not mean that it is in the public domain. See Wikipedia:Public domain#Public records. Elisfkc (talk) 18:31, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
@Elisfkc: Please can you read my sentence again, Texas Government Code, Chapter 552 states that these records are in the public domain due to being created by the Texas Government. It is a "public record" that was not created by an agency which state law has allowed to claim copyright and is therefore in the public domain in the United States.WolvesS (talk) 18:39, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
@WolvesS: I'm not a lawyer, but considering that there is no Texas government public domain template on Commons, and the Texas State Archives and Library Commission says "other State of Texas websites and websites of local governments, which may be protected by copyright", I'm going to say that there is a misunderstanding of it on your side. Elisfkc (talk) 18:47, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
@Elisfkc: "may be protected by copyright", "may be". Also your source says "Another attorney general opinion, Tex. Att'y Gen. Op. ORD 2002-5672 (2002), makes reference to public records as not subject to copyright, which may indicate a presumption that records are in the public domain", come on dude.WolvesS (talk) 19:00, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
@WolvesS: Take it up with other users on Commons:Village pump/Copyright. My interpretation is still that it is not in the public domain. Elisfkc (talk) 19:24, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
@Elisfkc: Alright, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WolvesS (talk • contribs) 19:42, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

The Permission section for File:Kent-downtown_cropped.png says "All photos on this page are available for free and public use" and links to http://kenthehrmp.ca/biography/ but no such text is on that page. I don't think this image is free. I wish it was, but it doesn't appear to be. @sikander (talk) 16:35, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

@Siqbal: I don't currently see the image on the site. You should try posting on Commons:Village pump/Copyright and seeing what others have to say. While I am a license reviewer, I really specialize in finding copyright violations and doing Flickr reviews. I try to avoid the murkier situations, as I know that I am not as good at that and would rather not pass something that is a copyright violation. Elisfkc (talk) 16:41, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

problem with Flickr2commons

I have just come across a few images you have recently uploaded from Flickr. I would appreciate it if in the future, you used the Flickr2Commons tool. This tool allows images to be moved to Commons from Flickr without having to download the images to your own computer. It also brings in the largest resolution of the image, as well making sure to list the correct license and url, making it easy for the automated Flickr Review system. Also, it is fairly easy to categorize images with this tool. Elisfkc (d) 14:46, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

@Elisfkc Hello Thank you for your help and patience with newcomers. So you're right, in the futre I will use Flickr2commons tool if I need to upload from Flickr. Other way, I will remove the image from flickr before uploadind on commons as my own work. I will take care to give to my images the requested license for commons and... I think I understand how to sign my messages now ! Freat, so i continue to work and upload, and with the help of the community hope to be a good contributor in some weeks... thanks again Patrick Isogood (d) 06:52, 30 August 2017 (UTC)« Isogood (talk) 10:33, 30 August 2017 (UTC) »

@Elisfkc: « Isogood (talk) 10:32, 30 August 2017 (UTC) »

@Isogood: I believe the issues are the fact that the name starts with an underscore and the "99sq99" part. Try changing it's name in the tool (which is the name inside the box) to something like "Musee Cognac Jay Paris (31724332771).jpg". Elisfkc (talk) 14:46, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

File:Hande Yener - Müzik Dergisi - 2004.png

Hi Elisfkc,

I'm writing about your edit on File:Hande Yener - Müzik Dergisi - 2004.png. This is a screenshot from a YouTube video which is under Creative Commons license. YouTube has changed its page design few days ago and I think this is why you could not see the license of this screenshot. To see the license, you can check mobil version of the link which is offered in the file description.

I think this image should pass license review and it is suitable for Wikimedia Commons. Thank you for your attention. - MHIRM talk 18:07, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello Elisfkc,

I'm writing you as one of the most active Commons users right now. Since a while now, the idea of a dedicated Commons conference has been floating around, but since the last Wikimania concrete steps have been taken to actually make it happen next year. If you're interested in participation or maybe willing to help organize the first ever Commons Conference, I invite you to check out the project page and leave your comments; or just show your support for the idea, by signing up.

Cheers,

How to participate in a talk/discussion

Thanks for answering my request for help. I recently received a notification about some pictures I submitted possibly having to be deleted, and being new here, I have no idea how to reply to the user who posted the notification, so I tried asking for help (I don't even know if I did it right lol) Is that how it's supposed to be done, clicking on "talk" next to that user's nickname, then on "add topic"? I have edited a few articles on wikipedia before, but am totally unfamiliar with the rest of the features (messages, discussions, etc.), and reading the help/Q&A section is just confusing me more instead of making anything clear. I hope you will receive this message, and I would be grateful if you could give me a very brief tutorial about how to interact with other members. Thank you in advance :-) WasabiHoney (talk) 08:54, 27 September 2017 (UTC)WasabiHoney

@WasabiHoney: Great questions. First off, for a deletion request, respond directly on the deletion request page, unless it has been closed. If someone leaves a response on your talk page, the best thing to do is tag them (with {{ping|<insert username>}}) and respond back. For more information on it, I'd suggest you look over COM:TALK. Elisfkc (talk) 00:33, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

@Elisfkc: OK, thank you for replying. The deletion request page has already been closed and my pictures deleted, so I'll try to get back directly to the member who deleted them. I'm always confused by all those codes that need to be used for the simplest task because they look a lot like programming, towards which I have a particular aversion. I guess I have no choice but to try to gradually get used to them. WasabiHoney (talk) 08:52, 27 September 2017 (UTC)WasabiHoney

Be patient

Could you at least provide uploaders with a few minutes to replace generic categories with more apt ones? I was processing (with Cat-a-lot) all the files in Category:Ontario I recently uploaded and received dozens of errors because the original category was removed, making the task or adding new categories more annoying as I have to find other means to group select the files.

Please be patient. If after some time (say an hour) the generic category is still there, then by all means delete it. Mindmatrix 15:43, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

And we posted to each otehrs talk pages at about the same time. Doh!. Mindmatrix 15:44, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
@Mindmatrix: I rolled back my edit on all of them, so they should be good now. Sorry once again. --Elisfkc (talk) 15:46, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
Thanks again - all files are now in more suitable categories. Mindmatrix 15:53, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Public domain?

I un-failed your license review of File:José Maria da Silva Paranhos.jpg because it appears to be a public domain image. If you disagree, please start a DR. Guanaco (talk) 22:03, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

File:Kirstjen Nielsen.jpg

Elisfkc,

This isn't the first time the upload has uploaded this picture. In fact, it's about the third or fourth time (just see his talk page). I've tried explaining numerous times to the user on my Wikipedia talk page that we can't use the photo, yet he keeps reuploading it saying that it is "FREE to share". Honestly, if he uploads it again or continues uploading other files similar to this, I'm going to take it to an admin (if he shouldn't be taken to one already). Corky Buzz by the Hornet's Nest 04:22, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

@Corkythehornetfan: This should be taken to admin now. Elisfkc (talk) 15:38, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello Elifkc Help me

I would like to know if I can create another account even if it already has more than two lost accounts I forget the password of the two accounts first was this Leonardo.G G and this G.Leonardo if I can access some of the dual I can contribute quiet to the project commons without problems in the future I forgot my password again, hello, old friend, I need your help again here, please help me. --177.98.24.221 02:45, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

@Leonadrd.G G: I'm not sure. @Jcb: can you help out? Elisfkc (talk) 22:46, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
That's in principle permitted, unless one of your previous accounts would be currently blocked (which does not seem to be the case). But apparently you have access again to User:G.Leonardo, I see edits from after this message. Jcb (talk) 22:59, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

Re: File tagging File:Jamal Igle.jpg

The original photographer, Pat Loika, sent in the release form yesterday to Permissions. The photo is published on http://www.jamaligle.com/. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JamalIgle1 (talk • contribs) 15:52, 16 October 2017‎ (UTC)

@JamalIgle1: Yes, but the release appears to not have been enough on there. I am not a member of the OTRS team, so I can not see what the email was to tell you what was wrong. @4nn1l2: Can you help out here? --Elisfkc (talk) 16:19, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
@JamalIgle1: We had some issues with identification of the "customer" because he had sent the permission statement from a Gmail account, rather than an official email address. It was resolved, and the permission was approved. 4nn1l2 (talk) 03:36, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Samet Eser

I didn't see the photograph but Samet Eser is a professional football player. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 141.196.195.76 (talk) 18:43, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

It was basically someone looking away from camera, and the back of a VW Beetle. If there was a face, or some other identifiable feature of the person, then it wouldn't have been as much of an issue. Elisfkc (talk) 18:45, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Poorly Licenced images on WC - Apology

Dear Elisfkc: My apologies for my placing of some poorly sourced images on Wikimedia Commons. I need to be more diligent and more informed about the licensing (I am new to this aspect of Wikipedia). Please delete the "unsupported" images as necessary.DziegielewskiBA (talk) 15:56, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Joy Corning

"Own work" doesn't sound right for this file: File:JoyCorning.jpg. @sikander (talk) 16:04, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

re Flickr License

Per the template left on my talk page for File:Balckmellenthinbrother.jpg. The image shows for me with the Creative Commons License (CC BY-NC 2.0). Is this not one of the allowable licenses for use here? Any guidence is appreciated. LargelyRecyclable (talk) 23:10, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

@LargelyRecyclable: Correct, that is not an acceptable license for Commons. Elisfkc (talk) 23:11, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
Good to know, thank you. LargelyRecyclable (talk) 23:15, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Question about licensing

Hi Elisfkc, before I nominate it I though I'd ask you a question about the licensing at File:Vice President Mike Pence addressing the March for Life (31864762593).jpg. The licensing does not match the one on Flickr. I don't believe they've changed it, but am not sure. As it stands, it fails the licensing requirements as seen here. What's your thoughts? Corky Buzz by the Hornet's Nest 06:25, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

@Corkythehornetfan: If I remember correctly, it was under CC-By-2.0. If the template says it was reviewed and passed (like it does), that means that it was fine at the time. I'm adding {{Flickr-change-of-license}} right now. Elisfkc (talk) 18:43, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation! Corky Buzz by the Hornet's Nest 18:55, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

wasnd

I believe it was a great mistake to have uploaded Flickr images forbidden to be used but I came to apologize to all of you guys all of you volunteers. The images are mine but I did not know how to choose the valid licenses. --G.Leonardo (talk) 22:14, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Flickr file

See this version. It was previously license-reviewed as okay, but they changed the license on Flickr. Creative Commons licenses are irrevocable, so the image is still okay. So I revert them. --B dash (talk) 01:06, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Please stop

repeated tagging different files like jpg and webm as duplicate. (here or here) A video file (webm) could not be a duplicate of a picture file (jpg). See COM:duplicate for details and the usage of {{Duplicate}}, thx,--Wdwd (talk) 21:09, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

@Wdwd: } As I explained in my edits, these were originally uploaded through mass upload via Flickr 2 Commons. Flickr 2 Commons uploads videos as a screenshot and makes it nearly impossible for the uploading user to discern that they are in fact videos. I have followed this process of uploading the correct video files and tagging the screenshot as a duplicate numerous times in the past, with each screenshot being deleted. --Elisfkc (talk) 00:58, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
in this case start a speedy delete or a mass delete request. {{Duplicate}} is definitely the wrong template because a single picture vs. a video file can't be an exact, or scaled-down duplicate.--Wdwd (talk) 05:45, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
@Wdwd: Don't wikilawyer: Why do want these duplicates to be kept?--Mackpie (talk) 12:17, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
Mackpie, Wdwd: If Flickr2Commons only uploads a frame from a video, then maybe there is something wrong with that process and it should be corrected but nominating a single frame of a video as a duplicate of that video is entirely incorrect. It cannot possibly be a duplicate because it is a completely different format. If it were a lower resolution video, then it would be a duplicate/scaled-down version and such tagging would be proper. These images are US government work, so are PD and there is no reason for them to be deleted unless they are OOS. If you are so bent on getting rid of them I suggest a deletion nomination with an appropriate reason, maybe because of a Flickr2Commons error (which does not seem like a good reason either) or some other valid reason. I'm sorry to tell you I thinking your reasoning in the current nominations clearly fails.Ww2censor (talk) 14:59, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
File:Ryan Doll, Barbie Doll, Ken Doll.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Hi, There is no copyright issue in such image File:Lyon vue de la Croix-Rousse.jpg. All houses are old, and it is a general view. Please do not nominate such files for deletion. Could you please remove this one? Thanks, Yann (talk) 18:53, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

@Yann: Sorry, must have slipped through. I'll do that now. Separately, I am trying to work with Matthew250 on this problem of copyrighted/unsourced images. Matthew250 reached out to me on my English Wikipedia user talk page. Not sure if that affects your decision, but I thought I should let you know. --Elisfkc (talk) 18:55, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

Idem for File:Un restaurant dans la rue des Marronniers, Lyon (2).jpg and File:Rue des Marronniers, Lyon.jpg: tables and chairs, the restaurant banner is not copyrightable, and the menu board isn't either.

@Yann: Done. I was honestly just trying to follow the uploader's suggestion on Commons:Deletion requests/File:La Part-Dieu, Lyon.jpg Elisfkc (talk) 19:06, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
