Apologies for reuploading deleted content. I did not understand the procedure the first time, and submitted the proper permissions request the second time (Ticket#2018053110010031). I hope the file will be restored once the ticket is processed. Logan'sRunner (talk) 17:48, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Yes, if the permission is in order, the OTRS agent will restore the file. Please be aware that OTRS has a backlog of at least several weeks. Jcb (talk) 19:39, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. I couldn't remember what the other pix were as I wasn't following too closely. I just saw that you had deleted one that had been previously uploaded. Just thought I would bring it to your attention if it was something that needed handled by an admin. Corky 01:41, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

Farid Mansour (artist) photo deletion

Hello,

I am referring to the deletion of some pictures from Farid Mansour (artist) page on Wikipedia. I think this deletion is not justified, since those pictures are already under CC BY-NC-ND as depicted in the website www.Faridmansour.com. Furthermore I am the heir of the said artist and all those images and photos are in my possession. Appreciate your comments on the above as I need to re-publish those photos again properly without having to be deleted.

thanks Oussama — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oussama Abou Faraj (talk • contribs) 07:59, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

Si un ticket de OTRS no se resuelve dentro de 30 días después nuestra primera respuesta, siempre borramos los archives, hasta que se resuelve el ticket. Usted debe tener paciencia, no puedo ayudarle en eso. Jcb (talk) 22:06, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

(CdE) Hi, Jcb. As History says, there is ticket:2018050310000344 where user grant permission (I handle the ticket as OTRS agent, and files were restore by request in Common/Undeletion request) . Please check and undelet. --Ganímedes (talk) 22:34, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

You never added the permission after undeletion, so that the files were deleted again after 30 days. I will restore the files. Please make sure to handle the permission properly within 48 hours or the files will be deleted again. Jcb (talk) 22:40, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

To do so, you must restore them first. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 22:43, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

Pardon? Please read my comment properly before responding to it. I am working on restoration, which you are deletion by your nonsense comment. Jcb (talk) 22:46, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

Don't you never be newe in anything? Don't you never had a conflict of edition? --Ganímedes (talk) 22:56, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

This was not an edit conflict, this was poor reading. Jcb (talk) 23:23, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

Anyway, as you can read here, the files should never be deleted, and OTRS permission was no need. All it was a mistake. --Ganímedes (talk) 23:02, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

Sincerelly, I don't understand your attitude. I've been collaborating with Commons per years, with no even one problem. I jointed OTRS less than one month ago, and close dozens of tickets... I think all this rush and sour messages are unnecesary, specially for files that doesn´t need a permission (If you just see the resolution, you'll see there was no reason for deletion; it was a mistake). Anyway, I thank you for telling my there were more files... All fixed, including categories. See ya. --Ganímedes (talk) 21:30, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

File:Tschudy, Theophil (1847-1911).jpg

Hi Jcb, are you sure your decision to delete this image was correct? The photo in question was taken in 1883 and the source can be found here. --Gnom (talk) 00:06, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

This user keeps uploading files with bogus licensing and false authorship information. This file e.g. was uploaded as cc-by-sa-4.0, with insufficient information to determine the real copyright situation. It was tagged as 'no permission' and deleted 7 days later together with several other files. If a user floods us with problematic files, this will normally result in mass deletion. If one file turns out to be safe and valuable, a genuine user can upload it again. Jcb (talk) 00:20, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

On 8 June 2018 you deleted this file (dated 1883) as a "copyright violation". Two days later you say it might be "safe and valuable" and encourage "a genuine user" to upload it again. That's fun. I hope I will be labelled as "a genuine user". Vysotsky (talk) 19:09, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

Deleted files Netwerk Oorlogsbronnen

Dear Jcb,

On April 24 between 14:53-14:55, you deleted a number of files that were uploaded by @Jjorna: as part of an upload by Netwerk Oorlogsbronnen. The reason given was that all these images represented copyright violations. The uploader (and I) believe that this is not the case, and that lacking and/or conflicting information in the uploaded images can be added and/or corrected (where necessary) in such a way that the images can stay on Wikimedia Commons. Since you are the deleting administrator, we would like to work with you to correct this issue, and we would be glad if you could provide more exact information on why you thought that these images should be deleted.

I have a complete list of the images that were deleted in this way and can provide that to you if necessary.

I'm looking forward to working with you, and I apologize for the late reaction on this issue. Best, --AWossink (talk) 14:08, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

I have sent you to OTRS in your native language. Is there a specific reason to try to avoid to follow the official process? Jcb (talk) 15:01, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

No, there is not, and "avoiding the official process" is not what I'm trying to do. But the problem is not with OTRS. As I understand it, a number of these images were deleted because of an empty license field. However, the source from which these images came had a correct license displayed. I also understand that it is common to give an uploader some time to correct mistakes like these before they are removed. So that is why I am asking you, as the administrator who deleted the files, if you could help us resolve this case. Best, --AWossink (talk) 15:16, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

For every picture where the photographer did not die before 1948, you need to provide evidence of permission from the (heirs of the) photographer to OTRS. Jcb (talk) 15:42, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Deleted photos with Permission?

Hi. There are some photos you deleted, even though I had contacted the owners of the content and they gave permission. I believe that the owner of these two photos has not forwarded the permission email yet, although I have been granted permission by email - File:SG4GE Steven Daigle.jpg and File:SG4GE Arpad Miklos.jpg

I suppose I will have to wait until that email goes through, then re-upload them.

However, in the case of these photos - File:Kory Luke Jockpussy.jpg and File:Luke Aiden Jockpussy.jpg

...I already contacted the content owner, received permission, and was told the permissions email had been forwarded.

What exactly went wrong here? Did upload these incorrectly? What should I have done instead? Thanks. Satyricon2 (talk) 15:20, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

• Avant que de proposer à la suppression un quelconque fichier, veuillez vous donner la peine de cliquer sur les liens qui lui sont associés. En l'espèce, je pense que la notice Palissy est suffisamment explicite pour pouvoir répondre à vos pseudo-interrogations, mais aussi aurait-il fallu que vous daigniez la lire. Au surplus, j'avais bien pris le soin de recopier sur la catégorie "Baie 28 de l'église Notre-Dame de Beaufort-en-Vallée", ce après les avoir vérifiées, les informations parfaitement pertinentes qu'un autre contributeur avait judicieusement postées à l'appui de son versement préalable au mien d'une image de l’œuvre incriminée. Quand bien même tous ces renseignements n'auraient pas été portés à la communauté Wikipédia, rien ne vous dispensait du minimum d’honnêteté et de désintéressement intellectuels qui eût consisté à pallier un défaut de sources, de références, par l'apport d'une contribution corrective résultant de vos propres recherches sur la toile, ce qu'assurément vous n'avez même pas envisagé de faire. Navré que de devoir être désagréable, mais je passe suffisamment de temps à décrire, sourcer et géolocaliser les fichiers que je verse sur Commons pour éviter de voir mon travail réduit à néant par des contributions aussi inutiles que destructrices.
  • Un autre contributeur a bien voulu appelé mon attention sur ma compréhension erronée de votre requête rédigée en anglais. Je ne suis maheureusement pas un angliciste chevronné. Versant essentiellement des fichiers de momuments historiques et autres objets protégés en France, quand on me parle de source ou d'auteur je pense immédiatement aux droits attachés à la création artistique et au réalisateur de l'oeuvre photographiée. Naïvement confiant en la technologie, j'étais loin d'imaginer qu'un fichier téléchargé parmi 15 autres via UploadWizard ne puisse également être impacté par les noms de la partie versante et de l'auteur du cliché, lesquels ne sont autres que les miens. Désolé pour cette méprise et ma réaction quelque peu épidermique, mais les encouragements à persévérer dans une contribution, si modeste soit-elle sur wikipédia, sont si rares que toute réflexion fini par interroger sur la pertinence de continuer à participer de façon désintéressée au travail collaboratif que constitue la Wikipédia.

Contradiction

Dear User:Jcb, I looked with amazement at your statement here. There is a clear contradiction in these four sentences, particularly between the 1st and 4th sentence. On the one hand you mention the clear and safe copyright situation (mainly Nationaal Archief), on the other hand you state (not for the first time) There is no way some archive can consider such files CC-0 -by this meaning files from the 1950s with unknown photographers. If you really think that is true, I think you have to learn a bit more about copyright. (To give an example: several thousands of the photographs in the Dutch National Archives collection are by unknown photographers, and at the same time they are rock solid CC-zero.) In any case, it seems to me that the reasons why you have deleted several files in this case (incl. one from 1902) are not very valid. Vysotsky (talk) 19:54, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Picture deleted with permission

Dear Sir or Madam,

The 21th of June, you deleted the picture on the page of the belgian architect "Philippe Samyn" pretending we didn't have the permission to publish this picture. However, this picture has been taken by the photograph Jan Crab on the occasion of an interview of Philippe Samyn for the belgian magazine "Nota Bene". Jan Crab gave us the written authorization to use this picture on the Wikipedia article "Philippe Samyn" without mentioning his copyright. We took the time to explain that, supporting evidence, in the e-mail that we sent to this adress: permission-fr@wikimedia.org on Monday 18th of June 2018 09:12 AM. So please, we thank you in advance for restoring the situation as soon as possible.

Best regards,

Please patiently wait until OTRS handles the ticket. Jcb (talk) 14:54, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Dear Jcb,

We received an e-mail from permission-fr@wikimedia.org the 26.06.18 at 11:01 asking us to send an authorization form to Jan Crab (author of the picture). And he had to send it back to Wikimedia. What's the next step ? Are we going to receive an e-mail telling that we have now the permission to publish the picture and then put it back ourselves on the page ? Or do you have to cancel what you did on the page (delete the picture)?

Thank you,

Unwarranted deletion of File:Olympian fire thief.png?

Hello, myself and other editors from WP:Dinosaurs have been questioning why you keep deleting this image from User:The Nameless Horror From the Ocean Depths. You have said that it is a copyright violation, but I have done a reverse image search and could not find any indication that the image was reposted or copied from another source. It seems to be a legitimate creation by the user I have mentioned, at least according to my reckoning. Could you justify why you deleted this image multiple times?

These files are either professional artwork or DW of professional artwork. In both cases permission via OTRS is needed. Jcb (talk) 15:25, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

It looked to me that they were examples of the user's "own work", in which case permissions would not be necessary. I have not found any indication that the user was incorrect in labeling it with that category, have you? Fanboyphilosopher (talk) 18:35, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

We have the precautionary principle as an official policy. If the files are really own work, uploader can try to convince an OTRS agent. But if they want to get confidence, it's really a bad idea to keep reuploading the same files, even after an official warning, without even trying to talk. Jcb (talk) 20:50, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Does the PCP apply to every 'own work' file? Because I've never experienced that when uploading my 'own work' files. Also, the user I have mentioned has been re-uploading his files to correct scientific errors as per WP:Dinosaur's image review process. The user has been communicating with us quite a bit, but he seems to be new and he has no idea how or why his files kept getting deleted. I don't think he knows how to respond to the notices. We're all very confused as to why the original file was deleted in the first place, and PCP says that files should only get deleted if there is significant doubt to the file's integrity. What was the significant doubt in question when the first file was deleted? Here's the image review debate if you want to see our responses to the deletions (ignore the Jordan Mallon greyscale image which is part of a parallel debate in the same section): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Dinosaurs/Image_review#Pyroraptor.

Send the user to OTRS. Jcb (talk) 21:55, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

The first section of the page you've linked, "When contacting OTRS is unnecessary", clearly makes this image exempt from needing to go there (per the second case listed). You've yet to provide a reason for the deletion and why there was any doubt of the claim of the image being their own work in the first place. If you could provide a reason to doubt the claim, then of course the image could be sent there, but at the moment it appears to everyone involved that you're merely overcomplicating things.

temp-restored

Hi Jcb, I've taken the liberty to temp-restore File:Björn Hagström with Wikimedia Sverige.png and File:Banafshe Hejazi with Wikimedia Sverige.png per this request from WMSE, which seemed to be credible to me, though waiting formal validation by OTRS. --Túrelio (talk) 08:28, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

I would have prefered to keep them deleted until an OTRS agent handles the ticket. There is no reason to handle the situation differently because a Wikimedia chapter is involved. To the contrary, it's disappointing that a Wikimedia chapter is giving the bad example in the first place. The OTRS pending will keep the files for several months online, although they even did not provide a ticket number. Jcb (talk) 14:42, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

I've seen you've deleted this file because it hasn't permission. However, the source specifies the license CC BY-SA 4.0, as the photo has been acquired by/made on behalf of the Library. Was it a mistake or you think somehing was missing in the file page? --Ruthven (msg) 08:53, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

It's highly unlikely that the library would hold the copyright of this picture, so that they are not in a position to release it into a CC license.

Images from Sarah Grilo were deleted

Hi Jcb,

this is Mateo Fernández-Muro, grandson of the artist Sarah Grilo. I uploaded to wikicommons a few images of her artwork (whose publication rights I own together with my sister and aunt) and nevertheless they were deleted from the article. I authorized myself to use the images by sending the proper email to me and ccing permissions-es@wikimedia.org with the subject "Licencia CC-BY-SA 3.0", as required by wikicommons. I would appreciate if you could reverse the removal of the images and put them back in the article and on wikicommons as soon as possible. Please let me know how to proceed. Thanks so much,

In my opinion, there were sources (own) given. Were they wrong?

No. 1 was made by a photographer. A permission is already sent by him to Commons. No. 2 and 3 were made by a member of the familiy of Mr. Mühlhäuser. They are private photos.

If "source = own" is wrong, what should be the right source? Would please be so kind an help.

I hope this is the information you are looking for. Jcb (talk) 17:25, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

That looks right. Why was the image deleted when the license is given and verifiable as CC-BY-3.0? Did someone blank the license? By the way there are 4,100 other files on Commons that I uploaded from the same source and with the same licence. --Fæ (talk) 17:35, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) There may have been a portrait there with the right license when the photo was uploaded, but for whatever reason, there isn't one now (the above page 404s), and the Wayback Machine doesn't have an archive of the media page for verification of the license. Oddly enough, the portrait is still on their servers. clpo13_(talk) 17:44, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I'm aware of the link rot. The Parliament Beta probably has many images dropped, perhaps as people change their roles, but that's guesswork. Link rot per se, is not a rationale to speedy delete. Even without independent license review, deleting these would be strange considering the licenses were blanket granted for all photographs by McAndrew due to the blog post quoted as permission (which is available and is archived). --Fæ (talk) 17:46, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Now we understand the context can you please undelete these four images please? The licence is CC-BY-3.0 if it was somehow removed by someone. If you think there is a problem, then the best thing is to undelete and raise a DR with a relevant rationale. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 18:04, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

It may have been down to database lag. The public version had yet to have the correct deletion reasons added to the filearchive table when I pulled a report.

•  Comment If you have read it:Sinistra Ecologia Libertà (if you understand italian), on the second line, this party (Sinistra Ecologia Libertà) was founded by parties, such as Movimento per la Sinistra, and the logo was the one that was deleted, and this party (Movimento per la Sinistra) has an article in en:Movement for the Left. The logo is below the threshold of originality, as it is a simple text with a simple 5 point star, as you can see on the en page, and is in scope and should be undeleted. Tm (talk) 18:45, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
  • You should have mentioned the EN link in the DR rather than the IT link, because the IT link does not show why it would be in scope. (I do read some Italian). Better write good arguments in the DR at once. Jcb (talk) 21:25, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
    •  Comment I´ve only found the English article after the deletion, that's why i couldn't "write good arguments in the DR at once", besides showing a link to page to IT wikipedia that shows how this file is in scope. But that's besides the point, and as this file is in scope and is below the threshold of originality, as i argued above, this should be undeleted.

Also, but unrelated to the above, i saw that you deleted File:DELIRIUM Film Postert.jpg as a copyright violation. This file was uploaded by Ihorp, who uploaded a movie poster of the same movie, in File:DELIRIUM POSTER en.jpg , that has OTRS id 2013102710007346 in it, added by an OTRS member. Several files related to Ihor Podolchak, the movie director of this film have OTRS appended, so shouldn't this file that you deleted have also an OTRS clearance or a general clearance to uploads of Ihorp, made in the name of Ihor Podolchak, or this user being Ihor Podolchak? Tm (talk) 22:22, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Sorry, didn't saw that you undeleted File:Movimento per la sinistra.jpg, as i had to purge Commons:Deletion requests/File:Movimento per la sinistra.jpg, to change the link from red to blue. Thanks for the undeletion and please disregard the unnecessary first phrase above. Tm (talk) 22:28, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

That poster is borderline I think. On one hand, the ticket is not general. It contains seven file names and those files have the correct OTRS tag (you can find them in Category:Delirium (film)). On the other hand one may ask whether the differences between File:DELIRIUM POSTER en.jpg and File:DELIRIUM Film Postert.jpg are above the threshold of originality, I am not sure if it is. For this case I would prefer that you take it to COM:UDR, so that other users can have a look as well. Jcb (talk) 23:13, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi, you deleted a file that you said was sourceless [[2]]. I know this to be false as I provided the source to the creater (here it is [[3]]). Could you reverse this? Thanks. --Calthinus (talk) 06:34, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

There was no source provided for the base map. Also, different from what you are claiming here, you didn't provide the link to the data either. Jcb (talk) 15:25, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

No, I did give the link to the data, which is here again, by municipality ("commune") [[4]]. The base map was the municipal division map, though Agricola Planitius should be the one to explain that to you. --Calthinus (talk) 19:21, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

As an administrator I can see the deleted file description page. There was nothing there. Without a proper explanation on the copyright situation of the base map we can do nothing at this point. Jcb (talk) 21:05, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

deletion of picture Prince Frédéric 1er.jpg

Hello Jcb, you deleted the picture Prince Frédéric 1er.jpg because AntoinierCH said that "he is certain he recently rejected a wrong permission for this media on OTRS. On the talk page concerning the deletion process, I confirmed that I am the sole owner of this picture and I stated this also when I uploaded it on Commons. So I dont believe that there was a wrong permission on OTRS. I took this picture by myself with the autorisation of the person on it. That's why I ask you to kindly reverse the deletion.I also made a un-deletion request at Commons. Kind regards--Kppcom (talk) 11:18, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello Jcb. this picture is again visible and under discussion for deletion request. I don't know if this is the result of my un-deletion request or for other reasons. In the meantime have I the right to put again the picture link on the page of the Royaume d'Araucanie? Thanks--Kppcom (talk) 17:37, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Bodice Designed by House of Worth and Worn by Julia Dent Grant.jpg

Hi Jcb, I think that was closed a bit too fast. I would like to have opinions from @Ankry and Josve05a: about Nemo's proposition. Also at least some (or all) of the images of Category:Clothing in the collections of the Missouri History Museum are concerned. It seems that the museum wants to release these images under a broad, so it seems possible to get a free license. I asked for input here, but nobody answered. Could let open for a few days more? Thanks, Yann (talk) 19:45, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

I prefer to have a file deleted if there is no valid license for over a week and then eventually undelete it if a compatible copyright situation is established. I came accross this DR by scanning the oldest files from Category:Files with no machine-readable license. Jcb (talk) 21:17, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

@Yann: As the clothing is PD IMO, I would prefer to have some clear declaration about copyright status of the photo(s) published on the Museum's website and marked copyrighted by somebody else. It is possible that the Museum is the copyright owner and want to release the photos copyright; it is also possible that they put a copyrighted photo by mistake. IMO, we should not assume their intention but get a clear explanation. Possibly, via OTRS. We generally require such explanation from others, and making an exception for this museum is wrong way, IMO. I am neutral whether the photo remains deleted or not during this process. Ankry (talk) 23:38, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, Jcb, Ankry. What do we do with the other files with the same EXIF data? And other files from the museum with the same copyright uncertainty? I don't want to request them for deletion due to the recent conflict with Fae. Regards, Yann (talk) 07:51, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Fae seems to admit already that these files are problematic. They started DRs on all the files yesterday, see here. Jcb (talk) 14:40, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Article "Günter Jendrich"

Dear JCB, you removed the picture "Günter Jendrich - Thorsten Jendrich.jpg" from the article "Günter Jendrich", arguing that there was no permission. Yet the photographer and owner of the picture, Mr. Thorsten Jendrich (who is the son of Günter Jendrich and who took the photo on an private party in 1968), sent the permission to both permission-de@wikimedia.org and permission-commons@wikimedia.org. Therefore I would Kindly ask you to place the picture "Günter Jendrich - Thorsten Jendrich.jpg" into the article "Günter Jendrich". Sincerely yours Josefblau — Preceding unsigned comment added by Josefblau (talk • contribs) 08:46, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Júpiter y Juno

I just happened upon this deletion request shortly before it was closed and I'd begun to do some investigations of it. There were certainly a few problematic images within, but there were a large number of images which were obviously from the 1600s, 1700s, and 1800s and thus clear cases of {{PD-old-assumed}} (probably more then 50% of the images). I got distracted by some other stuff and I realized that I was too late to add a comment to this effect though. IronGargoyle (talk) 01:22, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Do you have file names of files that are probably fine? Jcb (talk) 06:09, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Why did you delete my pen photos?

Why did you delete my pen photos? What kind of copyright violations were they? There are a lot of pictures of pens, brands, and trademarks on Wikipedia. The idea of copyright is to let the author of the work to earn money from their work, you have gone too far from this idea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ISantak (talk • contribs) 05:42, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Article "Carl Böschen Verlag"

Dear JPC, why did you delete "Verlagsverzeichnis.jpg" from the article "Carl Böschen Verlag". I developed the "Verlagsverzeichnis" with all its pages, it's my work and only my work, I took the photography, I permitted to publish the page from the Verlagsverzeichnis / the photography under the license-conditions of Wikipedia - so there is no reason at all to delete that photography! Please place that photography again into the article "Carl Böschen Verlag"! Sincerely yours Batterworth — Preceding unsigned comment added by Batterworth (talk • contribs) 07:18, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

If you are the author of all the text and the picture on the right page, please contact OTRS. Jcb (talk) 10:21, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

So you deleted my work just because you thought that they violated copyright?

So you deleted my work just because you thought that they violated copyright? Just based on your personal "opinion"? What type of answer have I got from you? "If you are a photographer, talk to this page bla-bla-bla" You deleted the photos made by me without having any evidence that violates any copyright. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ISantak (talk • contribs) 09:22, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

File:Оповідання про сили природи.pdf

Hello! The author is unknown and the work was published in 1924. Which license is correct? --Friend (talk) 12:50, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

This is an incompatible situation and the file will have to be deleted. Jcb (talk) 16:33, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Sorry for my message but can you please specify the reason for deletion? The file falls under {{PD-Ukraine}}. --Friend (talk) 19:18, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

How can you know that the author has died before 1951 if you don't know who the author was? (For an author to be 'unknown' in the sense of this license, you must demonstrate that they never revealed their identity, which is highly unlikely.) Jcb (talk) 19:31, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

There is a foreword written by a certain Mikola Tchaikovsky so this is presumably also the author. So unless we can determine that this person died before 1 January 1951, the original text would still be copyrighted. E. g. uk:Чайковський Микола Андрійович died in 1970. De728631 (talk) 19:46, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Indeed, in one of the research journals I've just found a notice that Mykola Chaykovsky is considered to be the author, so the question is closed. Thanks! --Friend (talk) 21:09, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Deutsche Fotothek- Terms of Use for Digital Collections

Hi Jcb, I had a discussion with User:4nn1l2 about copyright of digital works published by SLUB/Deutsche Fotothek. Their Terms of Use for Digital Collections seem to be ambiguous regarding works which are licensed as "Rights reserved - free access". For both of us it is not clear whether this is compatible with Wikimedia licensing policy. Could you please provide an interpretation? Many Thanks. --Plagman (talk) 15:22, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

This part: "The commercial use of these objects may be subject to charge and requires the prior written consent of the rights holder; subject to the right to prohibit use in each individual case." is clearly incompatible with our license requirements. All files at Wikimedia Commons must be available for commercial reuse. Jcb (talk) 16:31, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Leo Marks

Re: your edit here - Steve Crook took the photo. He uploaded it to English Wikipedia. I cropped it and uploaded it to Commons clearly stating that the author of the image has allowed it to be used. Please explain the problem! I don't get it. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 15:28, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

The problem was that you didn't specify any licence when you uploaded the file here, i.e. why Jcb flagged it for not having a licence. Moreover, the original at en:File:Leo-Wormelow.jpg does not even have a free licence but was uploaded there as fair use. Fair use content is not allowed at Commons though, so I deleted the file over here. De728631 (talk) 15:38, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Sorry about this. I had corresponded by e-mail with Mr. Crook, the author, and it was my belief that he would have uploaded it here, intended for for PD not fair use, but he found the rules too hard to follow, years ago, and less so at English Wikipedia. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 16:06, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Maybe Mr. Crook could send an email to OTRS, with a link to the file name, in which he declares to release the file into CC-BY-SA 4.0 (of eventually PD if he wishes). If it may be too difficult for him, you may also choose to formulate a statement for him, then send it to him with a CC to OTRS and ask him to reply to all if he agrees, with a message as simple as 'I agree with the proposed release as stated below'. Jcb (talk) 16:37, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

I have contacted him at enwiki where his original upload can still be found. I think a simple edit by him there adding a free licence template or text would do the job. De728631 (talk) 16:42, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Yes, indeed. I didn't realize that the uploader is still active on-wiki. Jcb (talk) 16:45, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

I am not going to add anything anymore

I did it for Wikipedia already for free. I don't have to prove the originality of every picture I shoot for Wikipedia for free. I am not going to spend additional time to collect the evidence, you have the Internet and you may check the originality yourself. Because of the behaviors like yours, Wikipedia lacks high-quality pictures, and I henceforth, I am stopping any contribution to Wikipedia. You may delete my account.

Give your feedback about changes to Special:Block

Hello,

You are receiving this message because you are a top user of Special:Block on this wiki. Thank you for the important work that you do. There is a discussion happening about plans to improve Special:Block with the ability to set new types of blocks. To get the best design and new functions added, it is essential that people who use the tool join the discussion and share their opinions about these changes.

Instead of a full site wide block, you would be able to set a Partial Block. A user could be blocked from a single page, multiple pages, one or more namespaces, from uploading files, etc. There are several different ways to add this feature to Special:Block. Right now Important decisions are being made about the design and function.

Please review the page on Meta and share your feedback on the discussion page. Or you can reach me by email Also, share this message with anyone else who might be interested in participating in the discussion.

I appreciate any time that you can give to assist with making improvements to this feature. Cheers, SPoore (WMF) (talk) , Trust and Safety Specialist, Community health initiative (talk) 02:00, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

File:Handicapped! Women's suffrage poster, 1910s.jpg

You've just deleted this. Can you be more specific as to the reason? It's hard to see details after deletion, but I'd have expected the to be well into PD by now. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:30, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

This is a work from the UK, where PMA+70 applies. The author, Duncan Grant, died in 1978, so that this work will be PD from 1 January 2049. Jcb (talk) 12:38, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

So why not move it to en:WP? PD-US-1923 would apply. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:46, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

It can be used on en.wp, it's not normal practice to automatically move files to en.wp, this needs a Wikipedian to do and use the right templates for that project. --Fæ (talk) 12:52, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Jcb, would you consider undeleting and raising a DR please? As the poster was created for the ASL, to promote that organization, rights may have transferred to the ASL. This may occur under UK law in a way that does not happen under other EU national jurisdictions, such as in Germany or France. A 7 day DR gives the opportunity for volunteers to discuss the case and examine evidence from archives, such as that in the LSE. Without those 7 days, it is unlikely for anyone to notice or invest in some analysis. --Fæ (talk) 12:52, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

The file never had an applicable license and any PD situation before 2049 would need evidence, not wishfull assumptions. If you find such evidence, please start an UDR. Jcb (talk) 12:57, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Sorry for bothering you and thank you for your help. Regards, Miljan Simonović (talk) 11:59, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Charlotte Auerbach and Vote 100 ribbons images

Hi Jcb, I see that the Charlotte Auerbach image released by the University of Edinburgh's Centre for Research Collections has been deleted from Commons for 'No OTRS permission for 30 days'. The archivist emailed me to say they had used the OTRS tool on 7 May 2018 to grant permission to host on Commons. Has this not been processed? Or not been received? I see the backlog is at 131 days presently. Similarly, this image released by Edinburgh Central Libraries for Processions 2018 has been deleted for the same reason. Was no OTRS permission email received? Can chase with Nico Tyack at Edinburgh Central Libraries if not. Many thanks, Stinglehammer (talk) 11:49, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

In general, if the deletion reason mentions the '30 days' period, this means that there is a ticket, but that is was not sufficient 30 days after our first response. In this case the involved ticket does not mention these two files. Jcb (talk) 15:03, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jcb, thanks for this. Can you explain a little more, please? Like I say, the OTRS tool should have generated two separate permissions for these two separate images from the two separate curators using the tool at Edinburgh Central Libraries and at the University of Edinburgh's Centre for Research Collections. I assume this is what you mean when you mention the 'ticket'. But unclear what you mean by 'first response'. The files were just awaiting OTRS processing as far as I understand. Is there no ticket received for these two images then? Or is the ticket still in the 131 day backlog awaiting processing? Any illumination gratefully received, Stinglehammer (talk) 22:36, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

I cannot find any open ticket from this uploader. Also please be aware that permission has to come from the copyright holder, which is almost never a library. Copyright belongs to the (heirs of the) photographer, unless there is a written document in which the (heirs of the) photographer transfers the copyright to someone else. Jcb (talk) 14:29, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Who do you have down as the uploader? If I recall correctly, I was the one who uploaded the images. There would be no open ticket from me however as the Charlotte Auerbach pic release was authorised by the University of Edinburgh archivist, Clare Button. The author of the Charlotte Auerbach pic is unknown but the University of Edinburgh Archives owns the copyright. Similarly, I uploaded the image of the Vote 100 ribbons on the authorisation of Nico Tyack, Collections Information Officer at Edinburgh Museums and Galleries. The picture was taken by one of their staff, and they granted approval. Hence the OTRS tool was used for both images - Clare Button used the tool for the Charlotte Auerbach pic and Nico Tyack used the tool for the Vote 100 ribbons pic. Can you advise? Stinglehammer (talk) 15:25, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Permission has to come from the copyright holder of the original picture, not from the person who took a picture of that picture. I have scanned for edinburgh.gov and found no open ticket. Jcb (talk) 15:32, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

"the person who took a picture of that picture" is not the case for either of the two images. If the 'ribbons' pic has not had approval sent through via Nico Tyack's edinburgh.gov.uk email account then I can chase with Nico. However, that still leaves the Charlotte Auerbach pic, authorised by Clare Button at an ed.ac.uk account. Is there a ticket for this? Stinglehammer (talk) 19:57, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

I have found an open ticket from that domain: ticket:2018050710007885. It's being handled at the moment. If this ticket leads to a valid permission, the file will be restored. Jcb (talk) 21:09, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jcb. Great, thanks. Nico Tyack at the City of Edinburgh Council Museums & Galleries has emailed the permissions-commons email address with a new email just now to confirm the release of the Vote 100 images. I see now that more images than just the ribbons image was deleted and that the 1909 procession was too so there maybe 4 affected. Can these all be restored under a new ticket please? These images were the ones deleted from Commons [6] And this one of the ribbon. [7].Stinglehammer (talk) 13:49, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

If a permission is valid, the OTRS agent will take care of undeletion. Jcb (talk) 14:43, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Unrelated comment

"Copyright belongs to the photographer". That's true -in general. However, most countries have a provision in their Copyright Act which states that the copyright of photographs made by photographers employed by an organisation, belongs to that organisation. See e.g. Dutch Copyright Act, Article 7 & 8. Vysotsky (talk) 14:51, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Separated to avoid confusion, because this comment has no relation to the case above. Jcb (talk) 15:12, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello, excuse me, you can help me get permission from the pages [8] and [9] through OTRS permission to include the events of the 2019 Pan-American Games and the 2022 Soccer World Cup :).--LLs (talk) 09:59, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Can't you wait just a few minutes?...

Hello,

There has been a problem with File:Locomotive switching at Bijelo Polje.mp4 that I created, has Commons doesn't accept this format. So I was asked to create it again with another format using video2commons.

I then created File:Locomotive switching at Bijelo Polje, Montenegro.ogv, but didn't realize all the info was lost. So I was just filling it, but you already deleted the file. You can easily see it's a homemade video, so very little chance that it is a copyright violation: couldn't you wait just a little bit longer to allow me to update the file?...

Anyway, is there a way you can restore it, please, so I can finally update it?

Thank you, --Daehan (talk) 16:05, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

PD: Please take a minute to know this page: Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:MP4 files.

A few minutes? The file was already online without any information for several hours. It's your responsibility to check the image description page immediately after upload. I have restored the file for now, please fix the page. Jcb (talk) 16:11, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your quick action. Yeah, well, some people can't be on WP/Commons 24/7: what's the harm to let it a day or so? Will do. Regards, --Daehan (talk) 16:16, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

btw, the original mp4 one should be deleted, if I'm not mistaken. Regards, --Daehan (talk) 16:17, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

The harm is that you are polluting various maintenance categories with such a file, so that you are obstructing maintenance work. So if you don't have time for the aftercare, don't upload in the first place. Jcb (talk) 16:21, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Maintenance work is not just deleting like crazy... If you don't have time to analyse a situation, don't do maintenance in the first place. As I told before, I added the information in the first file... --Daehan (talk) 20:31, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

In fact a big part of the maintenance work does consist of deleting files that are not put online properly. Jcb (talk) 21:10, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Pièce héraldique bande.svg

Hi Johan, what is the matter - you reverted my edit without giving any reason. I changed from Inkscape to text editor, because the drawing was done with a text editor, Inkscape had been the previous version. As an admin, you should know that tags like "Projet Blasons" should not be at the author/artist field, because of the machine-readability. The source field should contain "own" (in this case), and not information about image generation. I cannot see why you undid my corrections. -- sarang♥사랑 18:00, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

You blanked the source field, so that the file fell into the Images without source problem category. Whatever you think about the source field, don't blank it ever. Jcb (talk) 21:12, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

30 days

Hi. FYI: These 370 files had not been restored for usage, but for a try to create a new OTRS confirmation. You can talk wuth Geagea, for example. Thank you. IKhitron (talk) 15:33, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

The files have been restored in order to handle the OTRS ticket, but, if such a ticket does not lead to a valid permission within 30 days after our first response, the files will be deleted again. This is what happened. This is established procedure. Jcb (talk) 15:49, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

You have to give a time to the process. They were deleted firstly by me as request by the uploader. The may get all or part of them OTRS permission but they need to sees the files. It is really bad practice to delete 370 files without consult the user that handle the ticket. Please undelete the files and let me handle it. -- Geagea (talk) 16:01, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

The time we give for this is 30 days. I followed established procedure, you know that. If you explicitly take back the 'really bad practice' accusation, I am prepared to undelete the files for you. Such false accusations are unbecoming for an admin. Jcb (talk) 16:07, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Yes, 30 days already passed so I'm taking 'really bad practice' back. I well give two more weeks for these files. IKhitron to your notification. Thanks for suggesting undeletion, sorry for the extra words. -- Geagea (talk) 16:16, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

I have undeleted the files and reset the timer. Jcb (talk) 17:06, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Polk City, Florida

FYI, I didn't actually create the Category:Polk City, Florida. I simply saw the category already existing without a category of it's own. I still think it should've had some content though. ----DanTD (talk) 03:45, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Dear..

Commons:Deletion requests/undefinedinsource:huntingtontheatreco

I so wish you had pinged me. Collaboration and everything. Now what do we do..

And on Commons:Deletion requests/File:Julius Marius Smith.jpg, I'm not an idiot. The subject died in 1905 so the photo is at least 113 years old. So it could be a candidate for PD-old-assumed, but obviously, we'd need a date. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 11:09, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

The DR has been silent for 6 weeks and it seems unlikely that the theatre is the copyright holder of even any of these pictures. Regarding the other DR, PD-old-assumed can only be used if the picture is at least 120 old, not if it may be that old. Jcb (talk) 11:12, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

The Huntington is the copyright holder for most of them. I kindly request that you undelete all the Huntington files you've just deleted so we can continue sorting them out. For the record, I'm not planning on asking twice.

About the other picture, per PRP you are right, but it remains a potential candidate if the actual date can be proven to be more than 120 years ago. That proof was unfortunately not presented in the DR, but your "simple calculation" makes me look like an idiot. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 11:28, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

Please respond. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 11:47, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

Jonny84

Hi Jcb, since you closed this discussion, I wonder whether you might consider extending (or indef-ing), if appropriate, Jonny84 per the block evasion. I am not involved as I have never used admin tools with respect to this user (only reviewed--and declined--his unresponsive unblock requests), but given that those declines subjected me to delusional ranting on de.wiki, I thought it would be best to leave the action for the evasion to someone else.

Files restoration

Please restore all of my uploads that you deleted they they belong to me, I am 100% serious that they all belong to me. If they all will be restored, I agree to follow rules and refrain from bad things. HutheMeow (talk) 07:22, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Your uploads were deleted because some of them were obvious copyright violations, so that the whole batch was not trusted. Jcb (talk) 09:59, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Its only a few that had copyright violations, please let me have another chance to keep them, the vandalism wont happen again, I didnt mean to create bad decisions. HutheMeow (talk) 23:14, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

I am not going to act on this. We do have an undeletion request page here, but I think we would better leave all files deleted, because apparently we still can't trust you. First you tell that everything belongs to you (whatever that may mean), then only after I remind you about the reason for deletion you admit that you uploaded some copyright violations.
