Images from videos

Hello GRuban,

I see that some of your recent uploads are derived from videos on youtube. Examples are File:Brianna Wu standing.jpg and File:Carolyn Talcott.jpg. However I could not find a publicly stated release of those image/the content of the videos. Could you expand on the permission for those images?

Mvg, Basvb (talk) 09:44, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

The YouTube release is under the Show More section on any YouTube page that has one. I linked to each. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndvOiDTiJb8 for example.
BTW, I notice you are the person who nominated Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Spacekatgal on the grounds that Spacekatgal, also known as w:Brianna Wu is not notable? And then found other photos that she gave to interviewers, and used them as more evidence that she was not their owner? Now we're going to have to track down this rather busy person, who is right now not very happy with the Internet as a whole, and say: "You know those images you gave us? We deleted them. Please give us more, and this time write even more in the description, and send an email to OTRS, and we'll think of a few more hoops for you to jump through soon. Thanks." Next time you read about Wikipedia being hard for article subjects to use, this is what was meant. --GRuban (talk) 21:11, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Lungerjournalismus.jpg

Hi. I'm trying to license review https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lungerjournalismus.jpg which you write should be licensed under cc-by-sa 3.0. I'm reading https://twitter.com/kaibiermann/status/489212045829894144 and can't see that. My German ability is on the line between terrible and nonexistent, but as best I can read, Kai Biermann says "Use it under CC only with attribution." That's either too vague for us, or it's cc-by. Which could also work, but isn't cc-by-sa 3.0... Ideally, could you ask him to specifiy the license, for example "I release this work under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"? Or I guess we could change the license on the file to cc-by and hope that no stricter reviewer complains... again, if Kai Biermanncould be specific, that would be best. As you can guess, I don't get out to DE much, so if you want to discuss, please catch me at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:GRuban --GRuban (Diskussion) 15:03, 10. Aug. 2015 (CEST)

I think, I more or less copied what wrote, SMSed, or said to me. I do not remember the details, only that he had used the image in a tweet of his before. Please try to contact him avoiding indirect communication. I told him that I wanted to upload it to commons, which he himself was not inclined to do but agreed that I did it, giving the quoted license. --Purodha Blissenbach (Diskussion)
You linked to the details. That twitter link points to what he wrote: "steht unter cc, bei Namensnennung nur zu" That - in my feeble machine aided translation - was what he wrote. I would prefer not to contact him myself. I don't know him, I don't even know who he is, and in addition, I don't speak German. I don't even have a Twitter account. I won't be able to follow his Twitter to wait for his response. So asking me to ask him is ... not as good as your asking him. Also, of course, I have 677 other images in https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:License_review_needed to review. Please, feel free to blame me, writing "some annoying volunteer reviewer at Wikimedia Commons wants you to specify the license, could you please tweet 'I release this work under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/'" - except in German, of course. But I'm afraid, for all the above reasons, I can't take it upon myself to do so. Thank you. --GRuban (talk) 13:28, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Prove?

Your message was somewhat violent; I'm sure that was not your intention, but to make a demand or "else," well, it is not gentile. What I write about the images I have uploaded to Wiki-Common is true & accurate. Chaos4tu (talk) 10:47, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

This is about Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Chaos4tu, where I wrote "the uploader is basically claiming to be Sterling Saint James. The uploader needs to write to COM:OTRS and prove it."? If so, apologies. I'd be happy to learn an alternate phrasing that would be more gentle and convey the same information. How about "The uploader needs to write to COM:OTRS and verify their identity"? --GRuban (talk) 20:27, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

Incorrect source link for File:Emily O'Brien.jpg

The source you've given for File:Emily O'Brien.jpg is the same as the source you give for File:Ciara Hanna.jpg. It's the correct source video for File:Ciara Hanna.jpg.

I've passed the review and adjusted the license, which is {{Cc-by-sa-3.0}} at the source rather than {{Cc-by-3.0}}. I did the same for the Ciara Hanna image. INeverCry 22:25, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

re: Commons:Deletion_requests/File:House_of_Abbud.jpg

Commons:Deletion_requests/File:House_of_Abbud.jpg, can you please help. This is not acceptable. Deletion policy is clear about allowing discussion which User:Steinsplitter has prevented. Can you please undo his actions to allow for discussion? 104.245.105.18 15:52, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

No, sorry, I'm not going to unilaterally undo the policy-based actions of an administrator without a really strong reason; just to allow more discussion that you will likely lose is not that reason. As I wrote, even though, I, personally, think we could change the license on the file, that is just because I think we can afford to be nice, it doesn't hurt the Commons. However, I can see the reasons against it, it could set a nasty precedent. Ths thing about a usage license is that it has to be irrevocable, otherwise no one could use it, without being afraid that at any time the owner could withdraw the license. In this case, I think it isn't harmful because the CC-BY that you want to change it to is likely to be good enough for all practical purposes that anyone has already used the file for ... but that's just my opinion. Policy, as interpreted by Steinsplitter, who carries a mop around here, says different. See, the English Wikipedia has a rule that I like, Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy; meaning that the letter of the rules aren't as important as the principles behind them. The Commons does not have that rule; it has to be much more concerned about the letter of the rules here. I'm sorry. --GRuban (talk) 19:24, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Any comments on ...

this? I am writing it up for the signpost (draft Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Next issue/In the media). You uploaded his loathed pictured :-) Cheersm --Milowent (talk) 21:07, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Sure. I uploaded his picture because I could only find that one under a free license at the time. I didn't consider it an attack picture, I wouldn't have uploaded it if I did. An IP, claiming to be him (quite possible, it had edited the article and only that article for 2 years) removed it, saying there were plenty in the public domain. I looked, and couldn't find any. I took the IP at his word that it was him and asked him for a released image, explaining as best I could. Nothing. Then Gene Weingarten wrote the column, and someone uploaded a different photo, which I'm perfectly happy with. I hope he likes it better, we're not here to make people sad, as someone once said. --GRuban (talk) 21:36, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
Of course, I thought that was the point of your request. If you want you can link to my user page here; I've found many (and personally taken a very few) pictures for articles, they're mostly on it except the most recent ones. Most are of people, but not all. If you really want, you can link to or quote from my Wiki-bio or an interview Rob Walker, an author, journalist and another article subject, did of me, which are somewhat relevant as the bio was written for and the interview was his condition for my asking him to release a picture for his Wikipedia article. --GRuban (talk) 21:57, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

I am perplexed as to why you are marking my file for deletion less than one day after it was confirmed as valid. What about the effort and time I put in proving myself just days ago? Is this how it works? Anyone can ignore the work of others for their own baseless claim? I have proven myself and ask that you check on what has alreay been provided. I do not need to entertain your pointless and unfounded abuse of the verification system. Do you not respect the findings of others? Why should anyone then respect what you verify? IF you want to raise an issue, do so with people who have already approved this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jovialwaffle (talk • contribs) 01:00, 01 November 2016 (UTC)


--Jovialwaffle (talk) 01:00, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

It wasn't confirmed as valid, the nominator withdrew. Meanwhile, I did some searches for that image, and noticed that it existed on many other sites, the date was wrong, and the resolution was smaller than other versions, as I think I rather clearly described in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Mindy Finn.jpg. If you could respond to those points, there, please? --GRuban (talk) 03:01, 1 November 2016 (UTC)


To all the points you raise I can only sigh and say so what. Date was wrong - hardly matters. Resolution - bigger issues to deal with at that moment. On other sites - sure, again, what are we wasting our time on here? Ok, on to wherever else I need to reply and navigate this - ok, I'm taking the high road. I understand the value of proper information and am sure it is a monumental task to sift through all that is posted. I'm a regular user of Wikipedia and know it is run by volunteers but until now never realized the hard work involved. I have irrefutable proof of proper licensing and permission and now just need to figure out how to properly interface to ensure all concerns are adequately addressed. Please excuse me in advance for posting in the wrong places. I am an amateur. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jovialwaffle (talk • contribs) 18:59, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Yes, sorry it's so complicated, and thanks for your work. Unfortunately there really are a lot of people on the Internet who are not who they say they are; that makes it complicated. Sending the proof to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org should work eventually, or if you're associated with Finn, asking her to put the proof up on her website might be even easier (the people reading that email are a bit overwhelmed). --GRuban (talk) 02:14, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

  • Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
  • Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.

Hi GRuban. I wasn't able to find anything on any of the links you provided or at ptct7.com which says that the content has been released under a license compatible with COM:L. If I missed it, then my bad. If you are aware of such a statement, then you can you add a link to it to the file's information. If there is no statement online, then I think OTRS verification is going to be necessary per COM:OTRS#If you are NOT the copyright holder. There appears to be a copyright declaration added to the very end of the video and I don't think that public television necessarily means public domain. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:00, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
@Marchjuly: COM:WHERE LICENSE. I put it right next to the license review tag. Tells you right where to look. --GRuban (talk) 02:39, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for the clarification and I've self-reverted. FWIW, that's kind of hard to figure out and looks like a random link to a general info page. Perhaps it would be better to be a little more specific and use the |permission= in the file's description like I did here to make things clearer. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:02, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
Upload wizard doesn't make that box editable if you click a license radio button, unfortunately. --GRuban (talk) 13:36, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
Maybe then just add it manually after tha fact then? Lots of file licenses are fixed/clarified after they've been uploaded, sometimes years later. So, I think it's OK to do so. Anyway, just a suggestion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:05, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Tasnim images

Don't forget to remove the "Tasnimnews review needed" category when you give Tasnim images a good review. It's easy to miss at the bottom of the page. Ww2censor (talk) 23:16, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Guys, very kind that you think about copy rights. But i send already the necessary paper to commens and you seem to be faster in deleting than reviewing. They need 7 days they told me. Please wait, as i have to Best kai Kai taugenichts (talk) 16:38, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Yes, we can sometimes be quite slow at reading email. Can you put {{subst:OP}} on the image page? That will mark that you have sent email to OTRS, and will keep the image safe from deletion for 60 days. Thank you for your contribution - it is a very nice image! --GRuban (talk) 17:38, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Thanks! The "keep" votes didn't matter; the only thing that matters are other edits to the files, and those still aren't a big deal. There are lots more to get rid of, too; I'm nowhere near done. Nyttend (talk) 18:45, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

Ivanka Trump image nominations

Hi. I've read and understood your message, have installed the "Google images" and check all the pictures of Mrs Trump at the Winter Olympics. They all come from her Instagram, Facebook and/or Twitter accounts, not from US Government websites (neither the Executive Office of the President of the United States as stated nor the State Department). Except the two ones from the US Embassy in Korea, it seems that the uploader has made a mistake by uploading them to Commons, as well a using a wrong US Government license. Kind regards, --Patrick Rogel (talk) 22:48, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

OK, I see the point; you may be right, she could have personal photos, not just government photos. Thank you. --GRuban (talk) 23:14, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Just to let you know that all Alex Jones' YT, FB account material have been taken down..as of August 8, 2018. I checked your image above and this image here which I reviewed File:Faith Goldy on InfoWars.jpg and got the same message: "This account has been terminated for violating YouTube's Community Guidelines."

The politics in America is crazy...how could this website say the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax and harass the parents of its survivors. We would never tolerate this in Canada. In Australia, a 1996 mass shooting made PM John Howard--a Conservative--decide to pass new laws restricting automatic and semi-automatic guns. This just cannot happen in America....since there have been so many shootings but nothing changes. PS: In Australia, a Liberal is a Conservative while a Labour MP is a left wing politician. Howard was a Liberal/ie. Conservative. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 01:06, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. The fact that Jones got banned from YouTube shouldn't invalidate the copyright release, though. Jones is a conservative conspiracy theorist, and was probably banned for posting something even more outrageous than usual, not for violating copyright. There is a school of thought that says that the position of the American "liberals", i.e., the Democratic Party, is actually quite close to that of the Australian / European Liberals; while the American "conservatives" are closer to UKIP and Marine Le Pen. That became easier to believe with the last US election. --GRuban (talk) 02:20, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
  •  Comment: I believe you. In Canada, the Conservative Federal government from 2006 to 2015 ( 9 yrs and 9 months) never went near abortion or tried to repeal same sex marriage. Canada's federal conservatives are centre-right and Canada's Liberals are centre-left; only the union supported NDP is really to the left and people here don't trust the NDP with power over all of Canada--maybe a few provinces (states) at most. Some people joke that the Liberals campaign in elections to the left but govern to the right sometimes. But your Republicans are quite extreme, I think, with its social and immigration policies.

warritimes.wordpress.com

Hello. The repeated addition of links to that blog is blatant spamming, intended to get viewers to the blog, and publicity for the owner of the site, self-proclaimed "prophet" Isaiah Ogedegbe (see en:Isaiah Ogedegbe...), not a claim of ownership of images. The link is blacklisted on en-WP because of repeated spamming of both links to the blog and "prophecies" by Ogedegbe, using countless socks (see en:wp:Sockpuppet investigations/Vwegba4real), so they're now trying their luck here instead.
