Images removed where legit

Hello, the images you removed yesterday uploaded by me are legit, they are all my work, I am the photographer/painter. I understand it looks like my account is new, but I logged in using my wikipedia login (which is pretty old...):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Teadrinker

I published the images about 2 years ago on pixabay as cc0 (but they have now changed the license of all images on that site to be more restrictive):

My name is Martin Eklund, I could probably send you a few raw files as proof (but I'm not sure I can find raw files for all of them) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Teadrinker (talk • contribs) 12:40, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

@Teadrinker: Sorry but I found these images on a number of websites so you will have to prove your ownership via COM:OTRS Gbawden (talk) 12:43, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

File:Reinhard Wilhelm.jpg

Hi, you deleted the picture, giving "Not own work - Author info clearly visible in EXIF" as the reason. Can you please explain more in detail how and why you conclude from the EXIF info that it is not the work of the uploader? I am quite sure there's some misunderstanding or misinterpretation involved. --rtc (talk) 16:50, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi @Rtc: . The exif clearly says Copyright holder: Copyright 2014: Raphael Reischuk. If you are Raphael or if you have permission from the photographer you will need to provide that via COM:OTRS Gbawden (talk)

Well, shouldn't it be sufficient that the uploader is Rapael Reischuk? COM:CSD#F1 is about apparent copyright violation. IMO that means that the picture is okay except if there is evidence that the uploader is different from the copyright holder. I don't see such evidence here. --rtc (talk) 08:06, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

That makes it apparent to me. Its something I see regularly - users uploading work claimed as own work but in the EXIF we clearly see copyright or author info. Perhaps I am overly cautious but I would prefer you to confirm that you are Raphael via COM:OTRS Gbawden (talk) 08:21, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

I am not Raphael, but I am quite sure the uploader is. "users uploading work claimed as own work but in the EXIF we clearly see copyright or author info" Well, that is not a contradiction and does not make it an apparent copyright violation. --rtc (talk) 09:19, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Sorry @Rtc: I got a bit confused. I really do see this regularly. Only upload of a new user, name in exif that doesn't match user name or is a clear copyvio. Some users tag as needing permission but to me this is a copyvio - especially since they claim own work Gbawden (talk) 09:33, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

It is really not true that exif info must match the username. Please undelete the picture. If you google for "raphael reischuck Ricona" you will see that Raphael frequently uses Ricona as his alias. And please don't delete any further pictures where there is no apparent copyright violation. --rtc (talk) 09:36, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Animakumar

Would you be so good as to undelete one or more of these? We have an article on EN, Anima Anandkumar, about her, that needs an image, and they don't have to have been physically taken by her for her to own the copyright to them. (See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikilegal/Authorship_and_Copyright_Ownership#The_Example_of_the_Third_Party_Photographer ) --GRuban (talk) 18:22, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi @GRuban: . As I said in the DR these are in scope but they weren't own work as claimed. For example on of the photos was posted here - https://blog.aboutamazon.com/amazon-ai/amazon-at-acl-2018 - so the uploader would need to prove that they have the rights to this photo via COM:OTRS Gbawden (talk) 06:12, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Needs permission

Hello, you did delete these files. We have send a legal permission a week ago (October 11) to the OTRS mail, and we repeated the mail today (October 18). Please be informed. Thank you. --Переславский музей-заповедник (talk) 14:00, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

A propos, the mail was sent in that very day when the deleteion request has been raised. --Переславский музей-заповедник (talk) 14:02, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi @Переславский музей-заповедник: We actually get a very large number of emails per day. And they are handled by volunteers. Don't worry files can be undeleted and an OTRS agent will get back to you one the email has been processed. Feel free to reach out to the OTRS members at the official IRC channel on Freenode server, #wikimedia-otrs. Thanks. Masum Reza^📞 21:12, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you! --Переславский музей-заповедник (talk) 21:39, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

The legal permission is received and verified with OTRS message (2019101810004499), could you please recover the files? Thank you. --Переславский музей-заповедник (talk) 12:16, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Diegobiavati

It seems you did not delete any files when closing this DR as deleted. However, the more recent DR indicates those files might be freely licensed, so maybe you want to change the result to kept. --Didym (talk) 20:44, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Also, most files from Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Владислав Молдован (closed as kept) still have a DR on the file page. --Didym (talk) 21:08, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks @Didym: I will sort it. I think the quick delete gadget (that also lets you mass process as keep) malfunctioned. Not the first time. Thanks for the catch Gbawden (talk) 06:16, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Question

Hi, Could you please inform me how can I recognise that this file is not F10 (likely personal photo) and its Trusted and active editor on one of wikis? regard Déjà vu • ✉ 23:08, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

I usually check their registration date and their edits to Commons before marking files as F10. As for activity in other wikis, you can pretty much see a overview of their edits across all Wikimedia projects in Special:CentralAuth. If the edit count is high, I usually drop the file but if the edit count is low/very low, I assess them manually. Google translate is not perfect but helps a lot in patrolling. (talk page stalker) Masum Reza^📞 23:27, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

@DejaVu: Hi. I checked their global user contributions - at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/username - the user in question had over 4000 edits on ka wiki so I went to check their last edit and it was recently. Hope this helps Gbawden (talk) 05:44, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

suppression de d'images

Bonjour Gbawden, vous avez supprimé des images de peintures faites par A. Thiérot. Vous indiquez ne pas savoir quand le peintre est mort et vous supprimez donc ces images ici, il est visible sur les dessins la date de leur fabrication. Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Amaury Thiérot Une absence de certitude, de preuves suffisent-elles à supprimer des images ? " Vous pouvez lui demander une explication détaillée ou lui apporter des preuves pour étayer la restauration du fichier." Pouvez vous justifier ces suppressions ? Et j'en demande la restauration, temporaire dans une premier temps. Bien cordialement Gérald Garitan (talk) 08:44, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

@Gérald Garitan: When there is doubt it is better to delete than host copyrighted works. Can you tell me when the artist died? The drawing date is not the issue. Works are generally protected 70 years after the date of death so we need to know the date of death Gbawden (talk) 09:10, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Dans le doute, le bénéfice profite au verseur ? Tu n'a aucune preuve de violation, va tu supprimer toutes les images pour qui un doute peut subsister tu ne cite aucune des raisons citées ci-après Copyright violation

2.1.2 Missing legal information 2.1.3 Non-free licenses and fair use 2.1.4 Other licensing/copyright issues 2.1.5 Privacy pourquoi? Je n'ai pas lu le résultat du vote pour la suppression ni la raison que donnait la personne (ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2) qui a demandé la suppression, suffit-il de montrer une image du doigt pour que tu la supprime ? J'ai fait comme inscrit dans le formulaire pour demande pour la restauration et pour trouver dans le journal des demandes de suppression 'deletion log '. Sur ta page de suppression il n'y a rien à l'heure indiquée (11h qui correspond à la suppression des images), je ne comprend pas pourquoi. J'ai fais une démarche auprès du musée des beaux arts de Châlons, il s'agit d'un peintre mort en 1939. Gérald Garitan (talk) 14:25, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

@Gérald Garitan: Hi. If you can provide me a source that says that Thierot died in 1939 I will gladly undelete Gbawden (talk) 17:15, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Robert Gant photo

I am Robert Gant, and I added a photo that was deleted. I took the photo and own the copyright. How do I have it restored and add it to my Wikipedia page? I’m trying to replace the current profile photo. Thank you! Freeandaware (talk) 07:34, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

@Freeandaware: Hi. You claimed the photo as own work but if you are Robert Gant and Robert Gant was in the photo how could this be own work? You need to prove ownership of the photo via our COM:OTRS process and then the photo will be undeleted Gbawden (talk) 07:40, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Robert Gant photo

Hi! This is Robert Gant you’re talking to. I took this photo on my phone at the premiere. I had posted in on Instagram and am trying to use it to replace the current profile picture. Can you show me how to do that? I appreciate the help. Freeandaware (talk) 07:44, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

@Freeandaware: Hi. My advice is to re-upload the full picture (not the cropped version) with full exif info straight from the device (ie not the one uploaded from FB). Gbawden (talk) 07:48, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Robert Gant/COM-OTRS

Hey there. So I’m looking at the COM-OTRS page but don’t understand the process. Can you or someone help me to clear this photo and verify my ownership of it? It’s on my phone from when it was taken at the event. Could someone explain the steps I need to take? Thanks so much! Freeandaware (talk) 07:55, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

File:Selfie of Bolter21 with Syria.jpg

Hey. You have deleted this file I've uploaded a while ago. Not that I have a problem with that, since it is no longer in use, but just a question. You deleted it because it is a "Personal [photo] of or by non-contributors". I am actually a contributor and this was the picture I used on my main user page. I am allowed to keep the current picture right? And if I choose to replace this picture, am I obligated to remove the previous one?--Bolter21 (talk) 14:18, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

@Bolter21: My bad. I didn't check your contributions - I apologise. Yes, the current one is fine for you to keep. You aren't obligated to remove previous photos but admins might clean up unused photos time to time. Would you like me to restore this one? Gbawden (talk) 06:19, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Frankly I don't mind. As I've said, this one is no longer in use.--Bolter21 (talk) 11:38, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Image upload

Hi! Just saw your response. If I upload the whole image, will I be able to crop it for use as the profile image? Don’t want to have both of us in the profile image for my page, which was why I had cropped it. Is there some way to post the cropped version? Or to crop it once uploaded? Thank you! Freeandaware (talk) 07:59, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

@Freeandaware: I am not always on Commons - so post your question about OTRS on the Help Desk and someone will assist. As for cropping, yes you may. Its best to have the original, uncropped image on commons as well as this provides source info for the cropped file Gbawden (talk) 08:03, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Facebook image/Robert Gant

For what it’s worth, the Facebook image was uploaded from my phone, which was how I uploaded it here. From my phone. I just did it after I cropped it. :) Freeandaware (talk) 08:02, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Uploaded/How to Crop/Gant

Hi! So I uploaded the whole image, but I don’t see a way to crop it? How do I do that? Thank you! Freeandaware (talk) 08:25, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

@Freeandaware: Sorry for the late reply. I am not always on Commons - please can you ask your questions at the HelpDesk - COM:HD Gbawden (talk) 05:59, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

All files on the Draft:OMRA page are free to use. Even says at the bottom on the website created by MYSELF if you bothered to look!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 31.52.136.187 (talk) 10:52, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

@Thebadnewslive: I'm assuming this was posted by you. You claimed these as own work without a source. Please re-upload with the correct source and license - not own work Gbawden (talk) 10:58, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

@Gbawden: Dont't understand what you mean by correct source and license? They're just free to use and given for anything related to OMRA. Media outlet, Wikipedia etc etc... Doesn't matter. We don't understand what the problem is? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thebadnewslive (talk • contribs) 14:21, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

@Thebadnewslive: If you take a photo from a site that has a free license you have to provide the source and the license. You claimed those photos as own work, meaning you took them yourself, which was not true. Take a look at COM:L or Commons:First steps/Quality and description which explains sourcing et al Gbawden (talk) 06:11, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

@Gbawden: Photos were just given to me, free to use on the OMRA website. Nobody cares about licenses and copyright for them. They're just pictures of boat stuff. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thebadnewslive (talk • contribs) 18:52, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

@Thebadnewslive: Commons does care Gbawden (talk) 06:07, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

Deleting of photos uploaded by Premek1946

I have noticed that you propose to delete a big number of photos listed here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_uploaded_by_Premek1946

I have reacted on 16 January and presented on the same discussion page the appropriate licences. I observe with high regrets that you did not react. Deleting of anonymous, not artistic portraits older than 70 years has no sense and is purely bureaucratic. I am sure that the user Premek1949 only did not understand exactly, how to apply formal rules. Thanks in advance for annulating the abovementioned request.--Svenkaj (talk) 21:29, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Deletion of Hemal's photos

Hi. I do not get that. Because, these photos have been taken my friend and I listed them according to my friend's wish. Now, you are telling me that it is from facebook. Yes of course, they are in facebook of my friend. Because, my friend is a close relative of Hemal Ranasinghe. So when I asked from my friend to send me some personal photos, he gave them to me to use in Wikipedia with her total permission. Therefore it is not worth to delete. Gihan Jayaweera (talk) 09:00, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

@Gihan Jayaweera: Hi. You can't take photos from FB and post them here. The person who took the photo must upload it or send permission via COM:OTRS for someone else to upload it Gbawden (talk) 15:44, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

@Gbawden: I did not took it from FB. I took it personally from my friend's phone through ShareIt. May be, my friend later posted them on FB. Gihan Jayaweera (talk) 09:30, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

@Gihan Jayaweera: Either way you don't have the rights to post it. You can only post photos you took yourself or have an explicit license for. I see from your talk page that you have uploaded a number of copyright violations in the past - I suggest you read COM:L Gbawden (talk) 16:21, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

@Gbawden: Do not judge anyone by considering their past. There are people who started with faults, finally became the great persons. So do not judge about me by considering that.

Request: Deletion of copyrighted intellectual property uploaded without permission

Hello Gbawden. I saw your username in the discussions regarding the deletion of this file. As the owner of this file I know when, how, and where it is authorized to be used. The answer is nowhere on Wikimedia at any time. The photograph was uploaded without permission. Wikimedia users then requested permission for it to be uploaded and then for it to remain; both requests were denied. I informed user prolights [name redacted for privacy] that she should not upload the file and request its deletion. Apparently the file was being used on other wikipedia pages, again without permission. I have emailed the Wikimedia foundation multiple times to have this file deleted because permission was never granted for it to be used on any website other than flickr and a company website. It was later deleted from flickr. I reached out again today to request that the file be deleted since it is no longer in use on any page and remains in violation of copyright as permission has not been granted and will not be granted if it is sought. The image in question is not in the public domain, a user unaffiliated with me and/or my company uploaded the file to wikimedia servers without proper authority, and thus stole intellectual property where it remains. I therefore respectfully request your assistance as I have received no reply to the emails I have sent, nor can the user apparently delete her own file, nor can I delete the file. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated at this juncture. I kindly ask that the photo to which there is no permission or authorization be deleted as I assert it is not in the public domain nor does the doctrine of fair use apply to this intellectual property. I hereby request that access is disabled forthwith for the reasons heretofore mentioned in good faith. Respectfully submitted, OneGood (talk) 13:58, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

@OneGood: Please can you send an email via the COM:OTRS process and one of the team will take care of it Gbawden (talk) 14:07, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

@Gbawden: I have done so multiple times and have not received any reply whatsoever over the past month. How may I escalate this to a member of management or leadership? My intellectual property is being used without permission and our rights are being condoned. I do however appreciate your assistance with this issue. Can you please advise the next steps? Thank you and regards, OneGood (talk) 14:13, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

File:Oosterlinck André - HTISA 2019.jpg

Can you give te reason for deletion? I do not get it why is have been deleted so i can to learn from it. I made the picture myself. So hoes confirmation i need? Vdkdaan (talk) 06:47, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

@Vdkdaan: You need to send permission to use the file to COM:OTRS Gbawden (talk) 08:21, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

I permission by who? I made the picture myself. If it is the permission of the HTISA (owner of the website) i got that already for 10 years. So who's prermission? I dont know from who? Vdkdaan (talk) 09:08, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

@Vdkdaan: If you took the photo you can prove this via the OTRS process, If not HTISA will have to provide permission Gbawden (talk) 09:30, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Both are done and you did deleted it. I declared when i was uploading i took the picture. And HTISA give already permession for all data on there website (in the ticket that was included on the file and the nomination page - 2008111710007855). Both are already done (before the file was nominated) but the files was deleted anyway. I have the feeling that nobody took al look at the ticket. So i guess it was deleted with no good reason or do i miss something? Greetings Vdkdaan (talk) 18:14, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

@Vdkdaan: The permission in that ticket doesn't cover the photo (this was mentioned in the Deletion discussion) - so I would suggest re-submitting via OTRS. Once done we can undelete Gbawden (talk) 06:34, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

I asked the exact words of the ticket (in Dutch) and it aplies on the website but without legal code. So i understand that they need more information. But because I took the picture myself I also does not need the permission. Besides permission is too mush troubel (i m not used to work with OTRS). I 'll just put another picture taken the same moment but that not have been published. Thx for the effort in answering. Vdkdaan (talk) 14:54, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi,

I would like to request to undo the deletion for the approval of my page.

Musical Apartheid, Fascist style thanks to South African looking to score points for themselves

All of my commons contributions of important musical artists have been flagged and deleted because of over-ambitious fascist editors who are looking to gain higher prestige within the Annals of WIKIPEDIA. Decades of musical legacy has been compromised, Musicians who made an impact on history have had their photos removed with ZERO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT, ALL of the photos are public domain and I have been censored by a brainless system. Every commons photo I used were public domain BUT STILL they are removed. I Protest against this ridiculous CENSORSHIP! \ Earl E. Smith (talk) 05:25, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

@Earl E. Smith: Firstly please be civil or you will be blocked. You can't call people names here. Commons requires that all photos be properly licensed. If those were Public Domain, you need to provide proof of that Gbawden (talk) 08:39, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Those logos came from the same site, The university just outdated the files in 2019 and made them available for public use. We should offer the most updated information possible. That's all that I'm doing. Please explain why this user was able to upload the CMU seal from the brand standards: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Carnegie_Mellon_University_seal.svg.

@Richinstead: Hi. The Carnegie logo is uploaded to Wikipedia as fair use. Commons is not the same as Wikipedia. All files uploaded to commons must be completely free - to be modified and for commercial use and there has to be a statement confirming that on their website or they have to do this via COM:OTRS For logos where that permission doesn't exist, Wikipedia allows upload as fair use, but fair use is not allowed on commons.

Deleted photo of Richard M. Levine

Dear Gbawden,

The photo you deleted of Richard M. Levine was posted with the consent of both the photographer and the subject, and it therefore did not represent a copyright violation. However, to avoid confusion and the appearance of possible copyright violation, I have posted a different photo that I don't believe appears elsewhere on the Internet. It is from my own photo files.

Deleted contribution

You deleted my contributions. Discussion was here [1].

You simply said I did not take the pictures which is not true, but I would still like to know how did you come to this conclusion. I would also like to know how can I get my deleted pictures back.

Thanks. Skribos (talk) 00:23, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

@Skribos: While you may have scanned the photos we need permission from the person who first took the photos that you scanned Gbawden (talk) 05:12, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Both pictures come from the family archive of the person in question (Jovan Radulović) on the pictures. I was asked by his family to put those two pictures up. I was the one who took that portrait picture over a decade ago. As for the picture of the signature - I scanned it directly from unpublished manuscript of the writer (and created .jpg of it). With the permission and full knowledge of the family of course. Skribos (talk) 17:36, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

@Skribos: Please follow the COM:OTRS process and then we can look at undeleting the photo Gbawden (talk) 07:05, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. I have followed the COM:OTRS process and found myself under section "When contacting OTRS is unnecessary" within a statement "I created the file myself (I created both .jpg files and original portrait picture), it hasn't been previously published (it hasn't), and I am the sole owner of its copyright (I am, and I was asked to post those two pictures to wiki)." Skribos (talk) 10:21, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

@Skribos: Where there is doubt that the uploader is the photographer then the OTRS process needs to be followed. As you can imagine we get loads of people claiming to have taken photos and OTRS allows us to verify this and in turn protect the photographer. Alternatively you can request undeletion at COM:UDR Gbawden (talk) 09:38, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you, I'll try that. Skribos (talk) 10:39, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Reversing Deletion of Photos by Gabriel Diamond of Skoll Award winners

You deleted a photo of Maryana Iskander because it existed on the web before the upload. We requested this photo from the staff photographer at the Skoll Foundation, who took the picture. How do we get this undeleted, because we're asking them to upload multiple photos under a CC-BYSA license, and they own the copyright. The fact the photos are used all over the web is not actually a copyright violation. What's the process? It seems to have vanished. Do you need an email from the photographer? The head of the foundation? JRandomF (talk) 18:16, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi @JRandomF: Usage across the internet is not the same as a free license. The photographer who took the photo must provide a release via COM:OTRS Gbawden (talk) 06:10, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Yes @Gbawden: and usage across the internet is not necessarily a copyright violation, and as noted I requested the creator of the media work to provide the Commons a CC-BYSA license, which the creator of a media work is allowed to do. Thanks for pointing us to the additional process step for getting the license to the image recognized, which seems to have worked, although we are still trying to get the file you deleted undeleted and marked appropriately by OTRS volunteers (note: OTRS has just done this and the file is restored). The OTRS ticket number is #2020031010009732.

For future false positives (which I recognize are likely a small percentage of the photos you label as copyright violations), the key point is that if the photo is available on the Internet, even the actual creator needs to go through extra steps with the OTRS process to reassure the Wiki community that the creator is who they say they are, and actually do have the right to grant the required license. And, it also seems that if the creator in question has lots of images they want to helpfully donate to the community under the right license, it is possible to have OTRS label their account as possessing that right so that newly uploaded images don't go through the deletion/restoration process. We have requested that from OTRS and it hasn't been implemented yet. But, we do want Gabriel to feel appreciated for his valuable contributions of excellent images to the Commons. So, if you spot another image uploaded by Gabriel Diamond, please hold off on the fast deletion action and give us a chance to get the required OTRS confirmation.

Deletion of pictures on J.Gordijn

Helo, I wonder why all the pictures of Nikita Gokhale were deleted. I am the one who owns the copyright of those as I am the photographer. I read the policy about posting pictures and understand that none should be taken from other social media platforms. Maybe just by mistake I used one that was on my Facebook page or my photography page https://www.facebook.com/JG-Photography-157299354394473/? . JG-Photography is also the logo I sometimes add on my pictures. But realy to delete all the pictures I don't understand. The reason why I like to ask please restore the page.

File:Hyr kajak i centrala Kalmar.jpg

Hi. Just a quick note on the image "Hyr kajak i centrala Kalmar.jpg". The file name translates to "Rent a kayak in central Kalmar". The description translates to "Summer of 2020 a kayak rental opens in central Kalmar. Here you can rent one- and two-man kayaks and SUPar". The image was used on spam-pages such as the users user page here and on other wikis as well as a pure spam-page on svwp.

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).

Copyright question regadring my pics

Hi. I don't know why you removed my photo without first confirming me to me its status, but your accusation that it was not my work, but a copyright violation, is false, and your rationale that it was "found elsewhere on the web" ignores the rather obvious possibility that it was found on the web because whoever uploaded elsewhere took it from Wikipedia. I took countless photos of Ms. Milano at the signing in question, and uploaded 91 of them, including the one you deleted, to the Commons the following day. The rest of them are in their own category right here, where my username and real name are given in both the file name of each photo, and elsewhere on each photo's page, just as they were given in the file name and upload page of the one you deleted. Do you plan on accusing me of copyright infringement regarding all of those as well?

Please restore the photo you improperly deleted. Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 13:44, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

My mistake @Nightscream: Please can you add an license and infobox to the image Gbawden (talk) 14:07, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Done. Thank you for your speedy reply. In the future, just give me a chance to explain if you have a question about my pics. I never upload non-free stuff to the Commons. Nightscream (talk)

Adding OTRS permission

Hope you aware that Special:AbuseFilter/69 tagging changes "Adding OTRS permission by non-OTRS member", as it`s also tag filter log for you. I`d like to suggest you to request OTRS permission on Meta, if you can spend time to contribute there. Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 15:10, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi @ZI Jony: . Thanks for the note. I saw that tag after I added an OTRS tag rather than ask an OTRS volunteer to do it - I will try not to do that again. To be honest I don't have the time to help out at OTRS. Gbawden (talk) 06:58, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Effigie du monument René caillet de Boké1.jpg

Hi Gbawden, I noticed that an image was deleted from the WLM winners for 2019 and found your closure to Commons:Deletion requests/File:Effigie du monument René caillet de Boké1.jpg (opened by Gone Postal) regarding two pictures uploaded by Aboubacarkhoraa. Unfortunately, nobody researched in that DR whether the depicted object is already in the public domain. These are photos from a monument which was erected during the Second French Empire. Quote from [2]:

Sous le Second Empire une stèle fut érigée dans l’enceinte du fortin abritant l’administrateur du Cercle du Rio Nunez, à Boké, pour rappeler à tous cet exploit.

As the Second Empire ended in 1870, this is in the public domain. Would you please reconsider your closure? Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 15:23, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Moi même je comprend pas la cause de la suppression de cette images, je les prises moi-même sur le sites et je les ajoutes sous licence libre.--Aboubacarkhoraa (talk) 15:30, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

@AFBorchert: Hi. I agree that they're old enought but Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory/Guinea#Freedom_of_panorama seems to disagree with the PD claim. I will re-open the DR Gbawden (talk) 15:57, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Gbawden, FOP is an exception of the copyright law in regard to works which are still protected by copyright. As soon as the copyright expires, FOP is no longer relevant. Thank you for restoring the two pictures. Would you please amend the DR please? Thanks & kind regards, AFBorchert (talk) 16:05, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
