why have my files been deleted yesterday Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by LaviniusHispanus?

The discussion had been closed o month ago with the deletion request retracted ~~ LaviniusHispanus (talk) 22:04, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

@LaviniusHispanus: . It was pointed out to you there that the EXIF data did not support your claim to be the copyright owner of the images. As such the images were not licensed adequately to be hosted here. The request had been open for a month and nothing had changed so they were deleted. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 08:10, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

F1 Manager artwork

Hi, just got your last message and I'm sure I can find an image that would work. My question is this though, how for example on this page is the infobox image allowed when the one I just uploaded was an issue even though as the game developer we would own the copyright? The image I used is already in the public domain on the Google Play store for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F1_2019_(video_game)

As the image I wanted to use is essentially the game cover artwork for a mobile title, would it not be covered by the below?

This image is cover art for a video game, and its copyright is most likely held by the game's publisher or developer. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of game cover art to visually identify the game in question on the English Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, constitutes fair use under United States copyright law. Other uses of this image may be copyright infringement. For more information, see Wikipedia:Non-free content. 14:02, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

"No source" tagging sourced imagess

Good day. I noticed you tagged a number of images as "no source" to be deleted, when they have a stated source. If you think the stated source is incorrect, it might be helpful to give a reason when that may not be obvious to others. I suggest listing for deletion requests. Some images have been on Wikimedia over 7 years and are in use in Wikipedias in multiple languages, so I think some consideration would be merited to provide explanation or discussion before it disappears. Thanks. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 17:06, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

+1 to above. I was going to start a thread about it but Infrogmation already wrote about the same topic, so I'll just add here. I stumbled upon to your tagging of File:Cancer Health Talk .jpg and File:Virgin Atlantic airbus A340-600.jpg with {{No source since}}. The files do have a source ('own work'). You might doubt its authenticity or find the file's derivative work status problematic, but I don't think that would be a clear-cut issue that can be dealt with speedy deletion either way. I believe this template is usually for files with literally no source or obviously false/invalid source - simple and clear-cut issues that won't require any discussion. For problems beyond that, I suggest elaborating your reasoning in a regular deletion request or using a different template instead. I'm not saying all your "no source" tagging is wrong, but some instances (probably a small minority) seem a bit too liberal to be. whym (talk) 03:18, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Not disagreeing with you and I will reflect. However I equally think that a no source tag allows/encourages the uploader to take another look at a questionable file and resolve any issues without the bother of a DR which can be interminable. It works sometimes nt others. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 07:49, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

File:Maria Jones Actress Public Domain.jpg

May i ask why did you removed the copyvio tag from this file. The source of the copyright violation wasnt visible but was in the template, and a quick google image search points to several sources. Is there any otrs email to this file? Thanks. Tm (talk) 23:15, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Quite agree with you which is why I originally deleted the image. However if you look on the talk page of the uploader you will see I am in dialogue with them about another image. It looks possible that the one you tagged could be their's too. If I don't hear anything today I will delete again though - simply a case of AGF. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 07:45, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Side bar on EXIF abuse

Hi, noting this thread, I missed the original examples and was intending to return to them later.

I did not want to openly explore the details, as this might accidentally give a bright spammer more ideas to avoid detection, but it may be useful to do a database search on certain qualities of the files. If you think this might be worth a few minutes of further research, I could take a look at one or two examples with the full EXIF intact via email, if there is a good chance that other socks have been used by the same people? If you think in this case they've all be quenched, that's fine, we'll save the volunteer time and use these methods on more enlightening examples.

Please undelete User:Dr. Milton Schroth

This user is new but I believe they are attempting to share a large treasure trove of photographs from https://www.plantdiseases.org. If this is true and we can confirm it through OTRS, this would be a huge win for Commons. I will attempt to communicate with them and create the proper custom license. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 09:19, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

The artice on the user page (if that is what you are referring to) is well outside the scope of Commons which is simply here to host media for use elsewhere. (If you are referring to the multiple galleries without images then the same applies) Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 09:21, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

I am referring to the user page. We can delete all the paragraphs except the last two paragraphs pertaining to sharing of photographs under "free open access". --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 09:24, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi Herbythyme! We know about the policies about advertising and selfpromotion and the correct uses of userpages. However we wrote the description of the scope of our NGO in order to maximize publicity about the source of the materials we will be uploading that fullfill at all the scope of the project. If the community or you considers that we can keep a short description can be nice. If not, no worries at all.

Sock cleanup request

Hi again. Following up on Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems#Wikipedia_sock_turning_to_Commons the other day, would you mind taking a look at User:185.49.75.145 and considering reverting on the same grounds? They've stopped editing, probably as a result of some kind of autoblock, but it'd be good to roll things back before any inappropriate edits or category changes get bedded down by later editors. --Lord Belbury (talk) 21:04, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello again. That request was ignored, as was a a followup thread which has just slid off the noticeboard after a week with no response.

Crown Sydney

Hi

I've noticed that a couple of images under the name "crown sydney" have been listed for deletion as a result of copyright. What were the main problems with the pictures? The author could only offer verbal permission for the images to be released into the public domain so i already struggled a fair bit in finding a way to license them. I'm not very experienced myself in this field (hence why i've probably licensed them incorrectly) so i'm absolutely willing to work with you in resolving this issue and hopefully finding a way to properly relicense the images without having them taken down.

Thanks Cement4802 (talk) 12:56, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

Undelete User page

Please revert this action. the user is a kind gentle elderly volunteer who also uploads images from the history of our region. The link to the website is not an ad... it is because people can contact him and ask for more images... he has 170000 files, he cannot upload them all directly, so that's why he provded the website. It's a damage for Commons not to provide it.--Alexmar983 (talk) 00:15, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

File:Kostolom.jpg

Hi Herbythyme - I saw you'd tagged File:Kostolom.jpg as 'no source'? It seems OK to me, it is sourced as {{Own}}, with the uploader's name. Was there any other reason for tagging it, please? Thre certainly seems to be a problem with its use on Russian wikipedia (!), but that isn't related to the validity of the photo on Commons. Thanks! - MPF (talk) 01:06, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

File:Jose Arnaiz Real Valladolid.jpg

Hi, I noticed that you marked File:Jose Arnaiz Real Valladolid.jpg as copyvio. I hesitated to put a speedy tag on it, despite the user's other uploads, because it looks like the club has supplied freely licensed images to Commons in the past (see Category:Files provided by Real Valladolid), so I figured there was a possibility the OTRS ticket on those images apply to new uploads as well. Though I'll defer to your judgment. Ytoyoda (talk) 17:45, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Please advise if I have misunderstood copyright laws here. All the best --1'apprenti du vent (talk) 22:54, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

@1'apprenti du vent: Not Herby, but those files are not CC-BY-SA because the PDF doesn't provide a link or copy of the CC-BY-SA license text. It does say in page 2 (4 of 96 for the pdf) that "Reproduction of the contents is permissible provided the source is acknowledged." This is not enough however, in my opinion, because it doesn't explicitly state that the reproduction is for any purpose (like commercial). This should be cleared up if this file will be kept. Once that's cleared up and they didn't use a license, {{Attribution}} can be used. Thanks, pandakekok9 03:25, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

In fact, the SEAI's copyright notice is pretty strict. OTRS permission may be required here. pandakekok9 03:34, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks to pandakekok9 and that is my point. The document is clearly copyrighted and there is nothing worth speaking of that indicates it would comply with the licensing we would need to host the images here. COM:OTRS would be essential. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 07:17, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

You could leave this as it is possible that others will see it as a "simple" image and so not eligible for copyright. Personally I don't agree but who knows . If it is deleted then there is no valid license for keeping it here I'm afraid. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 11:36, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

RE:File:Marca blanca Carrefour.jpg

Hi. There are many photos of copyrighted commercial articles on wikipedia. For example, the Coca-Cola article in Spanish: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola#/media/Archivo:15-09-26-RalfR-WLC-0098.jpg. What's the difference between that picture and mine? According to the licenses, only the owners of the brand could upload a photo to Commons. Is there any way to upload these photos? Can I only publish them with the express consent of the brand owner? Yours sincerely, Miguel G. Carrasco (talk) 16:04, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

If the brand owner wishes to freely license the file that would be fine - COM:OTRS cover that. However Carrefour will have paid a lot of money for the design of their packaging so that is highly unlikely. Otherwise the images may be uploaded to a Wiki wich is happy with the idea of fair use - Commons cannot host such files. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 16:09, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

In the category "private labels" there are photos similar to mine that hasn't suffered the same restriction. https://commons.wikimedia.org

Miguel G. Carrasco (talk) 16:21, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Private labels are very different to major brand labels - major brands will not freely license their artwork. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 17:18, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Carrefour and DIA are private labels!!! You don't know what you're saying. You don't know what a private label is. I did a search on the Wikipedia articles. The question we have to ask ourselves is if there are any legal photos. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanta#/media/Archivo:Australiafanta2lpet.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gillette_razor.jpg Miguel González, [20.05.20 14:19] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jack-Daniels-at-Lollapalooza.jpg There are no photos of commercial objects with permits in commons. You know it. I showed you many examples. . With your judgement, you must delete thousands of photos. Miguel G. Carrasco (talk) 17:34, 20 May 2020 (UTC) Okay, I understand you're doing the right thing. Delete the photos if you think that's what you should do. But you have to understand that Commons has a lot of photos that violate the rules. Miguel G. Carrasco (talk) 17:48, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

File:Viruses in Humans and Animals.pdf

You tagged this file as a possible copyright violation with the reason “Copyright at bottom of page”. Then the file was deleted (by uploader’s request) and another version was uploaded.

The deleted version clearly stated CC BY 4.0. It stated it right next to the copyright notice. Now we have a new version with a dodgy footer that doesn’t clarify the copyright status. Perhaps the uploader misunderstood you and tried to remove the copyright notice. In any case, please read the notice more carefully before tagging.

I also started a discussion on the village pump. Brianjd (talk) 14:48, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Tribo-Fatigue

Hello, I have uploaded several files to the Tribo-Fatigue article, In the description of this files, I indicated that I created these files myself. Why do you write that the description of the files does not contain information about who created them? Barejsha02 (talk) 13:05, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Will you please indicate where you found those files - they seems to be from something academic or commercial rather than personal images. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 13:11, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Well, I added sources to the description of these drawings - articles from scientific journals from which these drawings were taken. For example: | source = Sosnovskiy, L. A. Modern science and multidisciplinary education – science – production system: some achievements / L. A. Sosnovskiy, S. S. Sherbakov, A. V. Bogdanovich // Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. - 2018. - V. 33. - P. 3–11. (in Russian). Barejsha02 (talk) 13:46, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

The important aspect is what the copyright status is of those scientific journals? Even if you contributed they are nor solely your own work. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 14:03, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

What am I supposed to do? I personally know some of the authors of these articles. Barejsha02 (talk) 14:39, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

You cannot simply use someone else's work. All items on Commons must be freely licensed and only the copyright holder can do that. Sorry --Herby ^{talk thyme} 14:41, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

I inform you that I deleted the figure 25 (photo of the MAZ-5440 truck tractor) from article "Tribo-Fatigue" according to your remark. Barejsha02 (talk) 17:28, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Regarding the rest of the figures, for which you have comments. These figures have undergone a number of my corrections (compared to their originals in magazines). I consulted with specialists, and they reported that in case of my completion and correction, I can claim to be their copyright holder for Wikipedia. So is it or not? Can you remove your comments on these drawings? Barejsha02 (talk) 17:28, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

No - you do not own the original copyright. Yours is derivative of that. Please sign your postings. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 17:25, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

I will try to request the magazines in which these drawings are published, so that they provide written permission to post their drawings on Wikipedia, and I will post these permissions in this discussion. Will this be sufficient? But this may take 2-4 weeks. Barejsha02 (talk) 17:34, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Permission has to be given via COM:OTRS and that will then be ok. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 07:06, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

File:Zona iporreica processo.gif

Hi Herby! I noticed that you put a No source since template in File:Zona iporreica processo.gif. The file was uploaded by Elibaio91, a student of the Polytechnic University of Milan participating to a wiki course for PhDs, and I see no reason to believe that it is not her work as she claim.

Asia Carrera 2000 photographer Don Mantooth.jpg

Hi. The file Asia Carrera 2000 photographer Don Mantooth.jpg was not a copyright violation. As I informed the other editor who incorrectly tagged it as such, it was uploaded by the copyright holder, Jessica Steinhauser (aka Asia Carrera), per my instructions to her on my Wikipedia talk page. She was unhappy with the shot of her that was at in her article's Infobox at the time, and I intructed her that if she owned a good replacement, that she should upload it to the Commons, with the right license, and that if she did, we could place it in the article. Can you please restore it? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 16:43, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Restored but... It definitely would need OTRS permission from Don Mantooth for us to host the image so it's tagged as "no permission" now. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 16:48, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Don Mantooth is not the owner of the photo. A photographer is not automatically the owner of the copyright of a file. In professional or private studio photography for hire, the owner is the one who is designated by the owner by the subject and photographer when they agree to a photoshoot. In this way, a photographer is no more automatically the owner than the guy who takes the official White House portraits of Presidents, to use another example. In those shoots, despite the photographers is paid with taxpayer money, which makes them public domain (i.e.: the property of the American public). Ms. Steinhauser expressedly informed me in discussions with me that she is the owner of the photo. Nightscream (talk) 16:59, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Copyright images

Hello Herby,

I just noticed that 12 of my uploaded pictures are in violation of copyright rules. I do apologize. I thought I had done my due diligence in providing as much information I could retrieve, but I do understand that rules do need to be followed. Perhaps you could suggest how to go about making these pictures allowable on Wikipedia? If I were to contact the owner / creator of the pictures directly, would that be one way to correct the issue? What would they need to provide me?

Thank you, kindly and be well,

Ryan (Ryancoke2020 (talk) 12:18, 5 July 2020 (UTC))

You certainly can try and contact the owners directly and get them to confirm permission via COM:OTRS. However particularly in the case of Vogue and imdb that simply is not going to happen I'm afraid. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 12:21, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello Herby, I can't find all the work I've put into my page. It's as though it's gone? I didn't purposely break the rules; I included all the information I thought was needed. I've put so many hours into this project, please tell me it hasn't been deleted?

I am absolutely devastated... I don't understand why my countless hours of work has been deleted. I am genuinely sorry and at no time did I purposely attempt to violate the rules; I included all information that I deemed necessary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryancoke2020 (talk • contribs) 12:41, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you, Ryan (Ryancoke2020 (talk) 12:36, 5 July 2020 (UTC))

It does not appear that your images have gone so I can only assume you are referring to a page on Wikipedia regarding actual deletion - that is a separate project and we have no control over that. The images will be deleted here as we cannot host copyright material. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 13:52, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

OK - this is about Wikipedia and we (Commons) have no influence over Wikipedia. In practice there is little I can say as I have relatively little experience on Wikipedia. One tip would be to look at similar pages to yours and see how they are laid out and worded maybe. However you should be able to find folk who are helpful on that project. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 14:56, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
