File:Pokémon Go Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge (cropped).jpg

File:Pokémon Go Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge (cropped).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!

SYSS Mouse (talk) 01:28, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

re: Pokemon

Actually not necessary in this case. It is because it ould be argued that it is an incidental inclusion (De minimus) as an overview image of the area if image is used elsewhere. (Even though the photographer, according to the Flickr page, mentions Pokemon in the description - while we know this, secondary usages may differ.) SYSS Mouse (talk) 13:45, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for finding the LOC photo in that deletion request. The problem is the uploader not the photo; they have a very mistaken idea that taking a photograph of something gives them a NEW copyright on it. And we all know that's not the case. COM:EVID requires them to have the understanding! Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 15:57, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Category:Pizzagate

Pizzagate has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion 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. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category.

In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you!

Thank you for creating Category:Pizzagate.

It now has useful images clearly related to the topic.

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Sex and gender identification's poster in UPF Ciutadella campus.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:Sex and gender identification's poster in UPF Ciutadella campus.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Thanks for uploading File:Collette-what-an-affternoon.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Crops

I appreciate you are adding value to recent artwork uploads with crops. It would be better to avoid compound extensions like ".tiff.jpg". If the problem is tools, then we can sort out some other way of creating the jpegs, even if this means adding a backlog category to generate them automagically. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 15:31, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

No source notices

Hi, please be cautious when marking apparently old works with the 'no source' notice. Files like File:CharlesBoissevain.jpg are highly likely to be deleted once marked, yet they are verifiably public domain even without any known source. There is no consensus to delete files from Commons which are public domain but unsourced. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 20:53, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

I wasn't exactly sure. I tried to find a source for it, and came up empty handed. Since he died in 1927, it wouldn't fall under PD-old-assumed, and it seemed very possible that the author died 1947 or later. So I didn't want to just leave it hanging out there so-to-speak.

The saving grace is that the photographer is unknown, and with these sorts of photos if the name is not etched on, nobody is likely to work it out. Raise a DR if you think it's worth a deeper review, I'm not personally invested. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 21:27, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

AUT_Kindberg_COA.jpg

Hello GreenMeansGo, thanx for the move of AUT_Kindberg_COA.jpg to AUT_Kindberg_COA_–2014.jpg. Now I got the problem that I can't delete the redirection to upload the new file. (If I had known this problem before, I would have decided to upload the new file as a .png instead of a .jpg-file.) Regards Kontrollstelle Kundl 15:24, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Hey Kontrollstelle Kundl. As far as I know (and I'm not exactly an expert), there isn't any option to supress redirects on Commons for file moves, and I believe an administrator will have to delete it in order for you to upload the (presumably) post-2014 version. Maybe User:Nick is around and can push some buttons for us. GMG ^talk 15:28, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Cool. Looks like you're good to go Kontrollstelle Kundl. GMG ^talk 22:23, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Uploading screenshots

Please provide me with steps on how to upload a screenshot from a game, app, or other piece of software without getting copyright problem messages. --Calebjosh (talk) 16:21, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

@Calebjosh: Unfortunately, the short answer is that you simply can't. Software including games are subject to copyright protections, and so are screenshots of them, meaning that they cannot be uploaded to Commons. GMG ^talk 16:26, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Thank you, GMG. @Calebjosh: , in addition, see Commons:Screenshots. Regards. Wikicology (talk) 06:32, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Precision needed

GMG hello, as for this edit, please ping me if it was intended to me. Part seems intended to Davey, part to me, so I'am not sure. Yug (talk) 10:05, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

It wasn't directed at you Yug. Just pointing out that someone can't accuse someone of canvassing and at the same time claim that it never happens. GMG ^talk 11:51, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

I see, thanks. I would not be offended as I indeed canvassed (via clumsy message, unawareness of the local rule), and apologized for it. I find embarrassing that Davey and Wiki** were both hard pressing me on canvassing and are now pressing to not document it on Commons. Yug (talk) 13:17, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Well, I think that policy at its best is in situations where it documents existing community norms rather than creating new ones. It's not really for the benefit of those who already know, but rather who those who dont. Frankly I was surprised to find there wasnt a policy or even an essay on it already. I should be back at a computer next week and I'll try to look more into it, assuming it survives deletion. GMG ^talk 13:58, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

It's a wiki, it's always in construction, it happen to have missing pages. I'am rather surprised that active users using the concept fight against its documentation. Redirect doesn't seems right to me, as search result may be affected. I also think it's better to have some hold on this, so to ensure it's benevolent, beneficial and adapted to Commons without being overflown by wiki:en. Yug (talk) 12:57, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

LOC crops

If a photograph is of particular interest and worth a crop, the best results will be from visiting the TIFF version, downloading the jpeg preview, cropping that, then creating as a new crop. This is relatively easy with User:Rillke/bigChunkedUpload.js to assist. Some of the TIFFs in my recent uploads are many times the resolution of the jpeg. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 17:38, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Hmm... I hadn't checked honestly. I just figured they were the same resolution, probably out of laziness I suppose. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the note. GMG ^talk 18:09, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Hey Ron. Thanks for that. This was a pretty big dump of files, at least for the likes of me. I definitely still needed to go through them in detail beyond categories. Sorry you got to it first, but thanks for taking care of it. GMG ^talk 21:57, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

@GreenMeansGo: Ha, Yes. It might be better at a DR - I'll change it over if you like - I saw the gnome, and my thoughts were "who designed the gnome? It is copyrightable? - well it a bit like a COM:TOY so probably yes", then I saw a second... and a third, but they were well spaced out in the category I was viewing or I would have bulked them. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 14:57, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Alot of the images were like that, but for most I figured it was incidental enough to be alright. Obviously not all of them though. I take another look through them next week to be sure. Flickr2Commons is a blunt tool when it's a few hundred images. GMG ^talk 16:06, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

I'll let you sort it out, I'm sure you know what you are doing.

Question

Hello, I'm unfamiliar with where to go with this, but I followed some clues and hope this is a start- I own the rights to the Capital District Tourism Gnome and all the media of it, and I'm the one who took the photos. But I have never given my permission for them to be downloaded to Wikimedia, though I guess the copyright I chose on Flickr means they can be without my permission. I would however like to know why someone is downloading them to Commons... — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 2600:8806:3004:6500:4D5B:FF7:BF77:695C (talk) 02:33, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello. The images were transferred using a semi-automated process because they were licensed for free public use. Wikimedia Commons is part of a non-profit network that includes sites like Wikipedia and Wikiquote, but the license the images were released under allows anyone to reuse them for any purpose so long as they're attributed. GMG ^talk 10:28, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

May I ask that they be attributed to Scott Meislin, as the photographer, instead of Henry Bellagnome, as Henry Bellagnome is the copyrighted gnome and obviously then not the photographer? Otherwise you're not fulfilling the terms of use which requires proper attribution. Also, if I remember correctly my CC on Flickr requires that any other use makes sure that the same terms of using it requires that any derivative work is also not copyrighted and the same terms as I have on my originals must be put on any other use. Does the Commons make it clear that the photos cannot be put in a derivative work which is then copyrighted? — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 2600:8806:3004:6500:D8AD:6256:AEAA:751C (talk) 14:04, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

As far as I'm aware, the attribution to Henry Bellagnome is legally an attribution to the Flickr account, and if pseudonymous, the online identity of the account owner (just as my contributions to Wikipedia are legally attributed to "GreenMeansGo" as a pseudonym for myself as the account owner).

As to the more complex issues of a CC-BY-SA license, you, as the legal "creator" still retain copyright to the media, and will continue to do so until expiration, 70 years after your death. You have however, as the copyright owner chosen to irrevocably and legally license them for public use. As the copyright owner, you could choose to re-license them in a way that is less restrictive (for example, a CC0 license), but you could not re-license them in a way that is more restrictive than you already have, because that would violate your own original license.

For others who may reuse the content, it is their responsibility to comply with the license, which would include proper attribution and licensing any derivative work in a way that is compatible with the original. This is the same with Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. For example, we could not legally include one of the images in a Wikipedia article without providing a link to the file description which includes the attribution and link to the original on Flickr. And, for example, if someone decided to reuse one of your images on the cover of their surprise-best-selling novel without attributing the source, you could still seek legal action against them for violating the terms of the license. Hopefully that clears up more than it confuses. GMG ^talk 14:24, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Canvassing

I can see you are busy making this a better document. When it comes down to it, could you think twice before moving to make it a guideline or part of policy? We have essays that are just as effective for advising people as to project norms, without making our body of policies larger. Any guideline on canvassing is only ever going to be advisory and we probably do want it to be a longish explanation of the issues in a way that a firm guideline of "do this, not that" probably should not be.

As an example of a solid essay that nails a norm, I quite like referencing to User:Elcobbola/Stuffed Animals which is extensive and maintained without needing to fill guidelines with all the details.

Thanks --Fæ (talk) 19:34, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Umm...well I'm not saying I'm planning on trying to make it a guideline any time soon. Heck, I've worked on and off on w:WP:NAC for almost a year and a half now and haven't started a discussion about making it a guideline yet.

But I would certainly like broader input on and contribution to what's written there, since at this point, I've written almost the whole thing myself. I think we do need some kind of guid-ance, even if it's not a guide-line. Commons:Administrators/Requests/Yug shows I think pretty well the confusion that can be caused when people say "follow this advice that doesn't exist". But getting that advice from advice to a guideline would mean finding the median of the position of many many users. So gotta start somewhere I guess. GMG ^talk 19:44, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Hmm... Well this one still has the original meta data. The other was posted by the same account. I should have looked more closely to tell that the meta data on that one was from photoshop. I guess it's unlikely that User:Nina Vaca will weigh in given they've made so few edits. User:Guanaco, feel free to delete them both along with the category if you wish. Not gonna hurt my feelings.

The issue for both is they don't seem to be her own work, but a paid photographer, so we need OTRS permission. I'll hold off on deleting for now in case she responds, but I'll go ahead and remove the cat from the Wikipedia article. Guanaco (talk) 00:24, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Tell me a Tale: Help please

Could you tell me what licence I can use for the book cover for Tell me a Tale? I find it extremely difficult to follow the rules. Pogga D Pogga D (talk) 00:59, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Hey Pogga D. There probably isn't one you can use on Commons, because Commons only accepts free images. You can however upload it under a claim of fair use locally on the English Wikipedia using the Upload Wizard there if you want to use is on the main article for the book, but it wouldn't be allowed on the article for the person because there's already a free file being used on the article for the person.

I know that's all super complicated but it's wrapped up in copyright issues and local policy, so there's not much we can do about it really. GMG ^talk 11:44, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Many thanks for your reply GreenMeansGo. It has helped and it would seem that I cannot use this image. However I would be grateful for your advice about another image for this same page. I would like to include a miniature painting painted by EC's sister (who is of course deceased). I do not own this painting, it is owned by an aunt who has sent me an email giving me permission to use it on this wiki page. I have forwarded this email to permissions-commons and await a response. I am wondering if I could do as you suggested for the book-cover and upload it under a claim of fair use locally on the English Wikipedia on the grounds that both the article and painting are about the author. If this is possible do I have to wait for permissions-commons to respond? (They have never so far responded to any of my queries.) Thank you for your response. Pogga D (talk) 13:27, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Hey Pogga D. Well, there's two distinct avenues for image use we're talking about here: free use and fair use. Unfortunately pretty much everything to do with copyright is complicated, but I'll try to explain as best I can.

Free use - This generally means one of two things: 1) that media is in the public domain (meaning intellectual property rights have expired), most commonly because it was first published before 1923, or because the author has been dead for 70 years, (That's an oversimplification for United States law, but it's kindof the base that everything else builds from.) or 2) because it's been licensed for free use by the person who owns the copyright. That's not necessarily the same as having physical possession. I have a physical possession of the box set for Band of Brothers, but obviously I don't own the copyright to the DVDs. If your aunt inherited the author's estate, then they probably own the copyright to the author's works, and they can license it for free use. If your aunt only owns the physical painting, then she probably doesn't own the copyright, which would reside with whomever inherited the intellectual property of the author, probably next of kin, unless she was wealthy enough to have an "estate" in the legal sense after her death. Only images that fall into this category are allowed on Commons, where they may be freely used by everyone, including all language versions of Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects.

Fair use - This type of use is not allowed on Commons, but may be used on local projects, like the English Wikipedia, so long as it complies with the project's non-free content criteria. The biggest hurdle you have here is meeting point number one, No free equivalent. Since we already have a free version, policy won't allow us to additionally use other non-free media, since we've already met the essential encyclopedic objective of visually identifying the subject of the article. That's why you can claim fair use for the book cover on an article for the book, but not for an article on the person, for which there is already a free image.

So your best bet is probably to have the painting licensed for free use, by identifying the person who inherited the copyright, and having them license it appropriately, meaning free for all public use, and not just for use on Wikipedia. Usually that means something like a Creative Commons License. If they do own the intellectual property of the author, and have already sent an email licensing it for free use, you may upload the image and use {{OTRS pending}} on the file description. When someone answers the email they will verify that it is licensed appropriately. If an email is not received within I believe 60 days, then the image will be deleted, but can be restored once the license is verified.

Sorry for writing such a long response, but I believe this covers the high points. This is again, one of the most complicated things when it comes to Wikipedia, but once you get the basics down it gets a lot easier. GMG ^talk 14:29, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Thank you so much for taking time to write that GreenMeansGo. Please don't apologise for the length. It was exactly what was needed. As I understand it, we can forget 'Free Use' because I am the copyright holder and was granted the intellectual property rights (not the 'estate'). My aunt simply owns the miniature painting. Therefore it has to be 'Fair Use'. So I shall follow your advice at the end of your last message. I have a few questions. The first is, I assume we are not talking about use only on English Wikipedia (if this were the case, what would it imply for people using Wiki in Germany for example? - not an important question at the moment!) and so I don't have to use the link you mentioned in your first response to me. And all I have to do is use the Wizard and specify [Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0] and of course include the code you gave me for the file description. Hope I don't appear too dumb. I have learnt quite a bit I hope. Very many thanksPogga D (talk) 07:42, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Well Pogga D, if you own the intellectual property of the author, either because you were legally next of kin and there was no will specifying otherwise, or because you were explicitly granted her intellectual property in a will, then you can legally license it however you please. You would just need to specify in the email how you came to own the copyright.

Gonna ping User:Guanaco back here just to fact check me and make sure I'm not missing something. But that should pretty much be it. GMG ^talk 11:29, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Everything looks accurate to me in general. My only concern might be that if she had multiple nephews/nieces and no will, it could have been divided among them. Guanaco (talk) 18:35, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Yeah, she was my great-aunt, the copyright went first to her to nephew following her death in 1972 and then her nephew passed it on to me in 1987 via a Deed of Gift. So assume I have to send another email to permissions-commons saying just that. Would they require a scan of the Deed of Gift or something? Having sent another email, can I then upload it using the wizard as I suggested? Once again, Thank YouPogga D (talk) 11:54, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Well Pogga D, it couldn't hurt to include a scan, and would probably make it a lot simpler for the volunteer who answers the ticket. Everything you send to OTRS is kept private, and only shared among other OTRS agents if needed for clarification. So there shouldn't be any concerns there. You could even include a link to this discussion in case it adds any context. I don't have access to answer tickets in the permissions queue, but I can view them if the person wants to talk about it privately and provides a link to the ticket number.

But you should also probably upload the image first, that way you can link to the particular image on Commons in the ticket. Just upload like normal using the Commons upload wizard, and select the license you wish to use. Then once it's uploaded, add {{OTRS pending}} under the license, and that will tell other users not to nominate it for deletion because it's pending verification. As always, feel free to drop by if I can be of any further assistance, and thanks for contributing! GMG ^talk 13:38, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Magazine Clipping from 1960's

I have a page from an industry magazine that was published in the 1960's. It includes a photo of my father (now deceased) and a paragraph about his promotion at an investment bank called White Weld & Co. I took a photo of that page with my iPhone, and I would like to upload that .JPG file to a Wikipedia page that includes some history about my father. I tried to upload the photo, but it triggered some sort of screen that prevented me from uploading the file.

Can you please help me?

The Wiki page in question is Interactive Data Corporation, where I added several paragraphs about my father, Joseph J. Gal, in the History section.

Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jlglex99 (talk • contribs) 19:37, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Hey Jlglex99. I'm not sure what filter you may have triggered with your attempted upload. There are a few of them and the process behind them is too technical for my understanding.

Unfortunately, a newspaper clipping from the 1960s would probably not be in the public domain until the 2030s, although it could be as late as the 2050s, or even later. The fact that you took the picture also unfortunately doesn't change the fact that the picture is a reproduction of a copyrighted work, so it would also be covered under the original copyright. That means we probably can't upload it to Commons.

However, since the subject was your father, you may want to consider whether you or a family member have access to family photos. If you know who took the photo (like a family member or you yourself, since that person would own the copyright to the images) then you can have that person license the image for free use while uploading to Commons. Alternatively you could upload a scan of the image on their behalf, and they could send a verification email licensing it appropriately to permissions-commons

wikimedia.org. GMG ^talk 19:57, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your fast reply.

Do I understand correctly that if I modify a published photo (or other art), then the image is owned by me? So, if I edit the photo of my father with some notes in the margin, or something like that, then does it become my own work under copyright law? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jlglex99 (talk • contribs) 20:03, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Hey Jlglex99. Not quite. If you creatively modify an existing work, then you would create a second copyright that you would own, but your work would be derivative of the original (see also Commons:Derivative works). So if the original work was still copyrighted, your work would essentially entail two separate copyrights, one for your creative contribution, and one for the original.

Umm...Secondarywaltz, this appears to be the only instance of this image anywhere online. I'm not sophisticated enough to know what the jumbled mess in the meta data meant, but if it's coming from Facebook, I'm not sure how we can say it's coming from the subject's facebook, rather than the uploader's. GMG ^talk 12:08, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Then, why not the original photograph rather than a copy of a copy uploaded to Facebook. Secondarywaltz (talk) 12:15, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

I don't know that there's a likely explanation, but there are plausible ones. I don't use facebook, but I can only imagine the number of images my wife has on her's that she's since deleted from her mobile. GMG ^talk 12:17, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Can Facebook do that legally? GMG ^talk 12:24, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

You can add a release to your individual pictures, but by default everything is copyright. I can't just choose to download a nice picture from Facebook and sell it - or upload it to Commons. Secondarywaltz (talk) 12:41, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

No, I meant does Facebook claim a copyright, just because it was at some point uploaded on their platform? GMG ^talk 12:45, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

That's what I meant when I said "by default everything is copyright". Facebook is just the same as Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin, etc. Secondarywaltz (talk) 14:56, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

That doesn't seem correct. See for example here. Facebook's TOU it seems gives them the right to use the content, but doesn't transfer copyright to Facebook, and that contract ends when the content is removed from Facebook. GMG ^talk 15:03, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

That's not what I am saying. Everything is marked Facebook © 2018 by default, which protects uploaded pictures from abuse and they cannot be freely used or uploaded to Commons. Secondarywaltz (talk) 15:19, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Sure they can. They can be uploaded by the person who took the image and owns the copyright. Same as every other image. If I take an image, upload it to Facebook, then upload the Facebook version to Commons, it's still my picture. GMG ^talk 15:24, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Also ping User:JGHowes, because I'm not super convinced this is not mostly circumstantial. GMG ^talk 15:25, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Correct! But now you would need to prove it because the Facebook version would be copyright by default unless explicitly released. Secondarywaltz (talk) 15:32, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

You don't seem to understand that this actually protects Facebook user from abuse. Secondarywaltz (talk) 15:35, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Sigh. Everything is copyrighted by default. Uploading something to Facebook doesn't change the copyright status of the image. What exactly do you want them to send to OTRS other than this was my photo that was previously posted to Facebook. GMG ^talk 15:44, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

I could have made exactly the same statement, but it would have been a lie. People are trying to upload similar copyright material to Commons all the time. Again, you don't seem to understand that we have to protect the original creator from abuse and this was originally sourced from Facebook. Secondarywaltz (talk) 15:58, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Except that in the vast and overwhelming majority of cases, I can do a two second search, show you exactly where you got the image from, and show you that you're lying. In this case you can't. What you are presuming is that the user downloaded the image from someone's Facebook, waited on the off chance that it would some day be deleted, and then uploaded it to Commons when they inexplicably happened to be right. In no universe is that a more parsimonious explanation than assuming it was their photo, and it's not on Facebook anymore because they deleted it, because they were uploading it to Commons.

For goodness sake. Just ask them and explain how to fix it. Don't assume they stole it and do your best to scare them off when you don't actually have any evidence that it's not their photo. GMG ^talk 16:33, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Relax! You know that I've told them to try uploading it again, and you have encourage them. Secondarywaltz (talk) 16:47, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

@GreenMeansGo: @Secondarywaltz: Sorry I didn't see this sooner. Commons receives hundreds of images each week that are found elsewhere on the internet. They are presumed to be copyrighted and non-free, with certain exceptions (e.g., works in the Public Domain or where the source website has an express cc-by-sa 4.0 free license, for example). Remember, the burden of proof is on the uploader to verify that they are the copyright owner. In cases like this, it's easily resolved by having the uploader provide evidence to OTRS, such as the original photo with exif data, as they were informed on 10 August at Softblackstars talk page. I just looked at OTRS, and we don't have it yet. JGHowes ^talk 14:37, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Wade Burleson

GreenMeansGo,

I appreciate your concern that a photograph of Wade Burleson is not "copyrighted." Please forgive my naivety, but I am Wade Burleson (just created a "new account") because photos of me (taken of me and authorized by me using my staff) are being pulled down for not being "copyrighted." The photo you are requesting removed is my work - not a professional studio - and I want people to freely use it whenever they desire online. Am I missing something? I uploaded it to Wikimedia Commons and stated it was my work. It's already ONLINE because we gave permission for others to use it. I would appreciate your help if there's a way you can help me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Okiehistory (talk • contribs) 18:03, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Hey Wade. The problem is that copyright for (the ownership of) images normally belongs to the person who took the photo, and not the person depicted in it. An exception to this is in cases where there was a contract transferring ownership, for example, in the case of someone who pays a studio photographer to produce works that they will use in their business dealings. If this is the case, then you need to verify this (along with your identity as the owner) via a private email to permissions-commons

Good evening

Why do you delete my photo

Removal of images on Elizabeth Clark (author) ticket:2018051210005966

Hi again GreenMeansGo

You were extremely helpful to me over the possible removal of a photo of a miniature painting 3 or so months ago. Another issue has now arisen with respect to this and I would appreciate your advice again.

I have just received an email from Jeff Gordon saying that

"For images to be hosted on Wikimedia Commons, they require the copyright holder to provide a specific release under a free license (such as the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0), which allows anyone to use them for any purpose, including commercial usage and derivative works. Unfortunately, what you sent is not adequate. We also cannot accept Caryl's forwarded message for legal reasons."

I am afraid we need advice for completing the email template. Perhaps you could answer me a first question, Does the phrase 'media work' in the template refer to the photo I have used for the wiki page, so can we say we wish to release the media work? Will that be sufficient?Pogga D Pogga D (talk) 10:18, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Hmm...Ping User:Guanaco, as they can see both the deleted images and the email thread. GMG ^talk 10:26, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Well Pogga D, just judging from the email correspondence, I can say that we wouldn't be able to accept that an email from an account matching a real name necessarily represents that person as a legal entity able to license media. Didn't you indicate previously that you had some kind of documentation where the intellectual property rights were transferred? GMG ^talk 13:13, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I sent in documentation to the effect that the intellectual property rights were indeed transferred to me and that seemed to satisfy the powers that be in Wikimedia. Now I think there's concern about Caryl Donaldson (yet another name but a close relative - indeed my birth name was Donaldson) who owns the right to that particular item is giving me permission to use it. Isn't the easiest thing to complete the email template (assuming of course we complete it correctly)? Pogga D Pogga D (talk) 10:33, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Well Pogga D, I'd say at the very least we'd have to document somehow that Ms Donaldson is the person behind the account. Normally we would get these kind of emails from something like "person@CompanyOfficialWebsite.com", so we can verify to some extend that that message did come from that organization. But obviously anyone can register an yahoo account under any name they wish. Maybe User:Sphilbrick can be more specific in this case as to what kind of verification would be satisfactory. GMG ^talk 12:28, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello GreenMeansGo I apologise for this, I use Wikimedia so infrequently I'm not clear how to access Sphilbrick's talk page. Would you advise me please?Pogga DPogga D (talk) 08:02, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Hey Pogga D. Well, I sent him a ping by mentioning him here. So I presume he is busy at the moment. His talk page is here. I'm not sure how we might best go about verifying that your relative is who they say they are. I suppose they could scan a copy of their ID and attach it for verification. Everything is confidential, so they shouldn't be concerned about privacy issues. I can't even discuss your own ticket here with you in a way that would reveal any details that someone else might read.

Sorry that this process can be so complicated, and thanks for sticking it out. It'll be worth it to have the images preserved basically forever in our archive once we do get it sorted out. GMG ^talk 10:39, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

One of the pictures which you'd deleted are cutting from other free wikipedia commons's picture

I created that picture through cutting the actor's faces from this picture:

What is the reason that you deleted it? IsraelyHomoSapiens (talk) 20:13, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

Hey IsraelyHomoSapiens. Well the one appeared to be cut from the movie poster for The Godfather. If you don't own the rights to the Godfather and the poster (which I presume you don't), you cannot make crops and upload them to Commons, because the crops are covered under the same copyright as the original. As for the picture you placed here, having a the author give you permission is not sufficient for you to legally license the content under a Creative Commons license.

EugeneZelenko, there is no background. The distortions are part of the font. GMG ^talk 15:07, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

So font is not standard. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:14, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

EugeneZelenko The font itself is freeware, and the typesetting isn't eligible for copyright under US law, which is the source country of the image. The logo does not duplicate the font (the software); it duplicates a portion of the type setting, which is utilitarian. Do we really need to go to UDR to determine whether arranging ten letters of a free font makes a text logo? GMG ^talk 15:42, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

You know, it'd be nice if there was some kind of functionality in the extracted template, so you got notified when the source work was nominated for deletion, if you had uploaded a derivative work. Obviously the three pages of google image results are copying the derivative file from us, and not the other way round, since the derivative 3:4 crop was definitely made here first.

I have gotten permission from Ashlee Marie Preston for using that image and to add credit to the photographer. She sent off an email to OPS giving permission to use the image.

Livinginthepink (talk) 18:29, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Hey Livinginthepink. Unfortunately, we generally cannot accept these types of permissions sent from generic email addresses. As I'm sure you can understand, anyone could register an email to the effect of Barack_Obama@yahoo.com or PopeFrancis1@gmail.com and send one of these permissions. For that reason, they need to come from an official domain that can be verified independently as belonging to the subject, or they need to be done in some other verifiable way, such as appending a statement to an official website.

If you are aware of similarly licensed images that are from the UK, then yes, they probably should be nominated for deletion here and then moved locally over to the English Wikipedia (or some other project that also allows local uploads of files only free in the US). The UK uses a "sweat of the brow" standard for copyright, and not one principly based in an assessment of original creative contribution, like...countries that have copyright laws that aren't stupid.

The image File:Francesco-Lotoro-Ph.-Giuseppe-Marchisella.jpg

Hello, i'am writing from Italy and i need to delete this image because I tried to upload it so that my name appear as a photographer, Giuseppe Marchisella, but something went wrong in setting the license. Sorry. Can you help me to delete it? Thank you. User: Pino Marchisella 20:42, 01 March 2019 (CET) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pino Marchisella (talk • contribs) 19:42, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

@Pino Marchisella: Both images have been nominated for deletion. It appears that these images have been taken from online, as there are multiple preexisting versions available. In order for them to be kept, the creator and owner of the copyright needs to send verification in accordance with instructions at COM:CONSENT. GMG ^talk 19:48, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

The photo is mine. Pino and Giuseppe is the same name in Italy. That image was used many times on internet and I'am the Author, the photographer. I asked you to delete only the second file i uploaded, not the first, beacause only in the uploading the second file something went wrong (about the license setting). Thank you. User: Pino Marchisella 20:59, 01 March 2019 (CET)

@Pino Marchisella: You should still send verification of your identity at permissions-commons

wikimedia.org since the photos have been used elsewhere. Once your identity is verified, then no one should give you any trouble. The correspondence is private, and a volunteer will merely place a reference number on your user page indicating your identity has been verified. GMG ^talk 20:04, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Yes, I sent the verification using the button "Interactive Release Generator", in 5 steps. The last step was that to send a text (in a green box) to the email address permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. Thank you very much.

Hello, i received on this page (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesco_Lotoro#/media/File:Francesco_Lotoro.jpg) an OTRS notification that says to contact a volunteer who owns an OTRS account, so I wrote a message on user talk: Krd, but nobody answered me. In the notification they talk about an email that is waiting to be managed, and i believe it be the email I sent for the verification of my identity as the Author of the image "Francesco Lotoro.jpg".

Hello GreenMeansGo, first of all thanks for your answer. I received an email with two links: the first one to confirm the email address and the second to cancel the email address confirmation. I clicked on the first one. I don't see a ticket number inside this email. Now let me ask you a question: why my photo on wikimedia was canceled before ending the verification? I no longer see it in the page on "Francesco Lotoro". All is very strange. I am the author of that image and something prevents to release it with a creative commons license! Why? If necessary, I can send the photo of my identity card. Please, i ask you for advice on what to do.Thank you. Pino Marchisella (talk) 13:19, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Hey Pino Marchisella. Well the photo isn't really "gone", it's just hidden until the details are verified and then an administrator can restore it. I did find the email at Ticket:2019030110007209.

It's not that anyone is questioning whether you are telling the truth; it's just that we have to verify the details. The thing is, I'm not entirely sure how to verify the details on this one. You can verify your identity to be sure, but I don't see anywhere online where the photo is credited to you. If so, then that would be independent verification of you as the author. Otherwise, I'm not sure how we verify that you are the original author and copyright holder. I'm going to ping a couple of other OTRS volunteer to see if they have any ideas. @Yann: @AntiCompositeNumber: GMG ^talk 14:08, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Ah ha! Yes Pino Marchisella, è perfetto. If you can send in some type of document that verifies you're identity, then I'll verify your account and request that the image be restored.

Thanks for the ping.

WRT badly eroded historic photographs, my instinct is to keep the scans, but I am aware that this example is an extreme case and the scan itself looks poor even to represent the damage. Not resisting a deletion, but just pointing out that where photographs are historic, even very badly damaged versions may be useful for comparison, digital reconstruction using tools that may be available in a few years, or even AI search methods that might be able to point out that this photograph is identical to a better one in a different online archive.

With regard to another matter, hopefully you are aware of why events have superseded my personal involvement in anything that others might point to as controversy. --Fæ (talk) 15:55, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Notification about possible deletion

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry.

If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have 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 them, 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!

File:Nourish and embrace... it will thrive.webm

Hi! I was wondering about the video File:Nourish and embrace... it will thrive.webm. You tagged it as missing permissions and I was wondering why, as it was tagged as falling under a CC license on YouTube. Was it because the original video was not marked with this license? The student I'm overseeing saw the tag and this was my best guess. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:59, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Hey Shalor (Wiki Ed). Yes, when I checked, the linked video on YouTube didn't include the license information. It looks like it's there now. So maybe it's been added since or maybe I made a mistake (I am notorious for having entirely too many tabs open at one time). I have reverted my tagging. Thanks for reaching out. Feel free to stop by if I can ever help with anything. GMG ^talk 18:05, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Ah crap. Wait wait wait Shalor (Wiki Ed). I see what you're saying now. The linked file here does include the CC license, but the source for the video here does not. Do you guys have any affiliation with this group/person who is making/distributing the video to know what's going on behind the scenes here? GMG ^talk 18:08, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

No - we don't. The student was looking for CC content that dealt with ASL literature and found that video. I discovered the other video when I was investigating the potential reason for the removal. As far as I can tell with the video, their version is an edited version. I'd like to think that they have permission to repost it like they did, but I don't know if this is the case. I've let the student know about the original video's copyright status but wanted to check in with you. I'm not really sure how to get in touch with the owner of the original video. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:05, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Hey Shalor (Wiki Ed). It's likely nothing nefarious. The reuser may just mark all their content as creative commons, and not realize that they can't actually do this if they are reusing content from others. It looks like the website of the original creator is here, and they can be contacted at thejmshow3gmail.com. Couldn't hurt to send them a message. (I shoot out emails all the time, but most of the time I don't get a response unless it's an educational institution or non-profit.)
As for the reuser, it looks like their website is here and they can be contacted at contactaslized.org. Might be worth clarifying with them too. If the remainder of their videos are legitimately licensed under creative commons, I can see them being very useful on projects like Wikipedia. We're pretty light on high quality educational videos.

Copyright help regarding File:JaneLevy.jpg

Hi, it`s me again, i understand that photo can be copyrighted, but, how i can understand that photo copyrighted? i just need upload photo and system can say about it? or what? need help, your russian buddy, John Rapture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnRapture (talk • contribs) 13:21, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Hey John. Under current laws, all creative works (including photographs) are automatically copyrighted by their creator, at the moment they are created. Here on Wikimedia Commons, we can only host content that is free for anyone to use for any purpose. The majority of the photographs we have here are free because of two reasons, either 1) they are very old, and the person who owned them has been dead a long time, meaning the copyright has expired, or 2) because the person who owns them have released them under a free license.

Since you are trying to find a photo of a living person, you obviously can't use very old images, and so you will have to find one that is freely license. If you can identify and contact the creator of this image, you can request that they license it freely by following the instructions at COM:CONSENT. Otherwise we will have to find or wait for another image which is free and use it when it becomes available. GMG ^talk 14:07, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Hey Vmf123484. There really isn't such a thing as "no copyright". The copyright for a photograph in most situations is owned by the individual who took the photo, and in a small number of circumstances, a third party who has a legal contractual agreement transferring the intellectual property rights to the image from the photographer. Such images my be freely licensed or dedicated to the public domain by the person who owns the copyright, but there needs to be clear evidence that his has been done in order for the content to be appropriate for upload to Wikimedia Commons. For more information, you may want to review guidance at Commons:Licensing. GMG ^talk 17:27, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Hey Vmf123484. If you can identify the individual who owns the copyright to the images, and they are willing to license them freely, then they may do so by following the instructions at COM:CONSENT. Please note that such a license is legally binding and irrevocable, and releases the images for use by anyone for any purpose, not simply for use on Wikimedia Commons or Wikipedia.

Re: Wikimedia Giphy Stickers

Hi @GreenMeansGo! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you and for the confusion caused here in the first place. My name is Samir Elsharbaty, I work with the Wikimedia Foundation's Communications department. The Giphy stickers uploaded by me recently are the work of the Turkish illustrator Idil Keysan for the benefit of the Wikimedia Foundation. You can read more about this on the Wikimedia Foundation website here. I'm sorry. I had to upload the files as my own work then change the author name and remove the self-published category as Idil is not a Wikimedia user and because the work was directed by our team. Please feel free to ask me more questions about this situation. I will be happy to give more context if needed. Thank you so much for reviewing the media copyrights which is something we appreciate and value and take very seriously too.--Selsharbaty (WMF) (talk) 13:26, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Hey Selsharbaty (WMF). Sorry, I'd seen that you hadn't edited globally since I left you the message, but I also didn't want to get busy and forget about this. Starting the DR kindof leaves a persistent note that there were unresolved issues.

The problem is that "made for the WMF" doesn't necessarily mean that the intellectual property rights to the images were transferred. Even in the situation of a work-for-hire (and it's not clear that you paid her anything anyway), just because I paid someone to produce a creative work doesn't mean that I paid them to transfer the copyright, unless we have an explicit legal agreement to do so as part of our contract.

So we really need one of two things here. First, we could have the artist themselves send a verification email to permissions-commons

wikimedia.org, in accordance with instructions at COM:CONSENT. This more-or-less takes the WMF out of the equation, and has the artist simply tell us that she owns the copyright and she therefore releases them under a particular free license. Or two, we would need something from the WMF to establish that the artist transferred the intellectual property rights, and then that the WMF in-turn released the images under the CCBYSA 4.0 license as indicated in the upload.

If either of these are sent to permissions-commons, you should get a confirmation email with a ticket number, and if you give that number to me, I can take a look at the email message and look to process things correctly here on Commons. GMG ^talk 13:53, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

File:BadimoJailbreak.jpg

You deleted this file for copyright violation. Okay, I understand this. I have another source, which is badimojailbreak.weebly.com . Can you restore it? Radioactive Uranium, 92 (talk) 12:27, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Hey Radioactive Uranium, 92. Unfortunately, a fairly vague statement such as "Images can be uploaded to Wikimedia Foundation" does not constitute a specific free license that is suitable for Wikimedia Commons. For the standard language for such legally binding releases, see guidance at COM:CONSENT.

However, content on Wikimedia Commons must also be within the scope of the project, which is to compile a repository of educational media content. As this appears to be a small user group of an online video game, it's not clear that it would meet the notability guidelines of our various sister projects (see for example the notability criteria for the English Wikipedia), and it's not otherwise clear what the educational usefulness of the media might be.

Via your comment on meta:OTRS/Volunteering

Hello, I saw your comment on the Meta page for OTRS about helping me become more active on commons and would actually like to take you up on that offer. I've always wanted more cross wiki contribs but I don't really know where to start with Commons. My main focus on EN is mostly doing stuff like AfC, anti-vandalism and cleanup, so if there is stuff like that on Commons I can help with that would be great! Any pointers you can give would be greatly appreciated! CodeLyoko (talk) 00:44, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

Hey CodeLyoko. (Sorry for the long response.) I've done a good bit of AfC and also NPP myself back on en.wiki. A lot of what got me into Commons was copyright cleanup. Commons has a recent changes feed like en.wiki does, but it also has a latest files feed (over on the left) for all the new uploads, and there are a lot of them. I would have a tab open on en.wiki and one here, and every now and again I would refresh the latest file feed here to see if anything looked out of place.

You get a feel for it after a while. Like you've probably gotten a pretty good feel for anti-vandalism over at en.wiki. "Hmm, a batch of historic images from an archive... a lot of similar images from ComicCon, aaaand it's a 100% professional quality airbrushed head shot from a Taiwanese celebrity. One of these things is not like the other." 10 to 1 odds it's marked as "own work", there is no original meta data at the bottom of the file page, and a google image search finds it all over the internet. Nominate for speedy deletion as a copyright violation, and if at all possible, look at the user's contributions to see if they have more. You can also filter the list a bunch of different ways, but you have to play around with it a bit.

There are a few gadgets that are pretty essential under your preferences. AjaxQuickDelete and Quick Delete will give you options on your side bar to nominate obvious copyright violations, to start a deletion request (the same thing as en:WP:FFD, when files need discussion rather than immediate obvious deletion), or request that the user provide permission to OTRS (usually when a source is given but there is no license at the source). VisualFileChange will give you the option to do batch tasks, like nominate 50 copyvios at a time, rather than doing it manually. Finally, GoogleImages tab will give you a button at the top that will do quick reverse Google image searches.

Maybe that's enough to get you started without overwhelming you. Just like en.wiki, there's a lot to learn, but most people are super COM:MELLOW about it, and you tend to pick most of it up naturally just by hanging around a bit. You're always welcome to stop by and ask any questions you might have, or ask them at the help desk, and I'm usually not too far away from there either. Thanks for your interest, and again, I hope I'm not overwhelming you with a long response. GMG ^talk 01:39, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

How do we stop Corruption in Africa? (RE: YOU COMMENTED)

I saw the links and what images to put on Wikimedia, but it did not link me to a space where I can register and become a regular contributor. Or can I continue contributing on Village Pump? I want to become a regular contributor because I am a short story writer,poet and a Computer Science student at National Open University Nigeria. I like writing a lot. I am not on Wikimedia to post images online: it is not my thing to be taking photographs. The second reason I want to become a regular contributor is because it is one of the criteria for Wikimedia users who want to apply for Wikimania and attend the workshops organized yearly by Wikipedia.

How to use images that i don't own — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theabbie (talk • contribs) 15:38, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Hey Theabbie. If you do not own the images, and the owner has not released them under a suitable license for free public use, then unfortunately we cannot use them, and we will have to find alternative images that are free, or we will have to wait for such images to become available. GMG ^talk 15:42, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Hey Theabbie. If you are using Google images, and you select Tools -> Usage rights -> Labeled for reuse with modification then those images are most likely usable here. The search does occasionally make mistakes, but for the most part is correct. GMG ^talk 15:47, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Correct syntax for multiple images in derived from

Hey, I've uploaded a GIF which contains multiple derived from images. I am trying to figure out what the correct syntax is for that. Would you be able to help me? The image is here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Search_prototype_for_the_Desktop_improvements_project.gif AHollender (WMF) (talk) 19:13, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Hey AHollender (WMF). Instead of using {{Derived from|1.jpg}} {{Derived from|2.jpg}} {{Derived from|3.jpg}} you would use {{Derived from|1.jpg|2.jpg|3.jpg}}. But you also need to verify that all the images used are under comparable licenses. For example, if of one of them is CCBYSA 4.0, rather than 3.0, then your composite work also needs to be under CCBYSA 4.0. GMG ^talk 19:19, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick reply :) I understand your point about licenses. I've been using the {{Wikimedia-screenshot}} license for these, which states "Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 license". In the case you mentioned I assume I would need a different type of license?

@AHollender (WMF): GFDL and Creative Commons are by far the most common. But if you run into something really obscure, we can always look into it further. Probably the most common issue, as I said, is making sure you have the # CCBYSA license that is at least as high or higher than all your derived media. They're compatible up the chain (1->2->3->4), but not back down the chain. That means we have a lot of 4.0 media that is not backward-compatible with Wikipedia's 3.0, even though Wikipedia is forward-compatible with them. GMG ^talk 23:50, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

reply

I am about to leave a comment, at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems#When is it appropriate to request an interaction_ban..., apologizing for responding to your first comment, there, since it did not address my primary point.

I am going to overstrike my reply.

Thanks for your link to https://www.dimoc.mil/Submit-DoD-VI/Digital-VI-Toolkit-read-first/Create-a-VIRIN/ You are absolutely correct that it does seem to contradict Commons:VIRIN.

I sent the following email to the customer support email listed on that page.

I sent the following email to dvicustomerservice@defense.gov, with the subject *"determining when images with a VIRIN can be freely re-used..."*
I am a wikipedia volunteer, one of our most prolific. I've also uploaded a great many DoD images. Can third party re-users rely on a VIRIN to determine whether an image can be freely re-used? One of my colleagues over at the wikimedia commons claimed a VIRIN cannot be relied on to determine whether an image was in the public domain. I pointed out that one of our manuals explicitly said A VIRIN (Visual Information Record Identification Number) is a unique identifier assigned by the United States Department of Defense to official still photographs, motion picture footage, video recordings, and audio recordings made by USDOD personnel as part of their regular duties. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:VIRIN Can I assume I don't need to repeat that images taken by US Federal employees, in performance of their duties, are in the public domain? My colleague pointed to https://www.dimoc.mil/Submit-DoD-VI/Digital-VI-Toolkit-read-first/Create-a-VIRIN/, That page lists (1) uniformed employees; (2) civilian employees; (3) contract employees. He claimed that, while the works of uniformed and civilian employees would be public domain, photos taken "contract employees" probably wasn't, depending on what you meant by "contract employees", and the nature of their contract. Lots of recent DoD images have lots of useful information embedded in their exif data - enough to confirm the date, photographer, and public domain status. Other images, including almost all older images, lack meaningful exif data. Images that have been edited by some popular image manipulation programs, like adobe illustrator, have their exif data wiped out by those programs. So, I can't stress how useful it would be if VIRIN could be used to confirm or refute whether an image could be freely re-used. If the current standard can't be used to determine whether the image can be re-used, may I recommend that the DoD strongly consider adding this information, if the standard is ever modified?

I hope you think I paraphrased your position reasonably fairly.

WRT to your suggestion I use facebook to contact Jim O'Connell, and ask him to clarify the status of those images... Yeah, I can't do that, without breaking my very long-standing commitment to boycott facebook. You have no obligation to help me out, by contacting O'Connell, but, if you should undertake to do so, you'd earn a hearty thank you, from me.

Cheers! Geo Swan (talk) 00:46, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

No worries @Geo Swan: . Very few of us are lawyers here. So at some level we're mostly all just trying to make sense of often extremely complicated multi-jurisdictional copyright law, in a way that none of us were formally trained to do before we started getting involved in Commons. Nothing personal about it at all. I wish we could keep all the images, but I don't have any problem deleting my own uploads when someone raises a good point that I may have missed. I hope you hear back with further clarification, and please let me know if you do. GMG ^talk 00:59, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
To perform file name swaps.
When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
