Deletion of images File:Dusepocobza2.jpg and File:Dusepo renlute.jpg

Why have you deleted these images? I have said time and again that I am the sole author of these images, and have sent an e-mail as requested to Wikipedia to confirm this. What more do I need to do? Do I need to create a new account with my name? Respubliko de Gvapolando (talk) 11:39, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Did you receive an autoreply with a ticket number? Jcb (talk) 20:15, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

A what? I don't recall receiving any reply. Respubliko de Gvapolando (talk) 22:53, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

P.S. I have now switched to a username which has my name, in the hope that will help and the message will get through! Jo Dusepo (talk) 22:55, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

I think the best thing to do is to resend the permission to OTRS. Jcb (talk) 23:16, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

OK, Thanks. Jo Dusepo (talk) 10:09, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:Como 1907 Logo.svg

This logo has been already released by the legal owner for using on the main it.wikipidia page of the football team (for further information, visit the same picture uploaded on it.wikipedia). I reckon that this is applicable even to the comparable pages in the other languages of Wikipedia as well. I added the OTRS permission to the description of this picture. --Stefano Tòdi (talk) 16:32, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

Do not add OTRS permission tags, you are not an OTRS agent. Jcb (talk) 17:36, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

So, can you do that? The picture has already an OTRS permission. It is just needed to add it. --Stefano Tòdi (talk) 01:02, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

No, the involved OTRS agent will have to do that. Jcb (talk) 15:52, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

OTRS for File:Jean-Luc-Bambara-20180902.jpg

Hi, how can I help to close the open issue? Should I contact Dr. Hilger to get a written confirmation? Best regards, --Stefan Weil (talk) 06:19, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

There is nothing you can do at this stage. Unfortunately, OTRS has a huge backlog, especially German queues. I will take care that the file does not get deleted before the ticket is properly handled. Jcb (talk) 16:56, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Request to reinstate deleted el:Blueground logo

Dear Jcb, kindly reinstate the Blueground logo that had been deleted on 30 Nov. 2018. FYI, the logo was provided to me by Blueground (Greece), for the aforementioned article. With kindest regards --Aristo Class (talk) 14:57, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Please send evidence of permission to OTRS. Jcb (talk) 16:58, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Dear Jcb, I do not know how you do it, however, you may contact Ms. Ioanna Mysirioti / Communications & PR Specialist at e-mail: ioannam@theblueground.com and she will confirm the aforementioned (in fact they are happy and satisfied with the existing logo status in the article). With kindest regards --Aristo Class (talk) 17:10, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Dear Jcb, unfortunately, it seems that I am not the pro you are. Nevertheless, I have forwarded your message to the company for further follow-up. With kindest regards --Aristo Class (talk) 17:48, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Deleted photos

Hi. Some time ago I've uploaded two photos from Team Liquid (File:Sasha Scarlett Hostyn 2012 A.jpg, File:Sasha Scarlett Hostyn 2012 B.jpg), which are shared under Creative Commons license, but they were deleted, and I still can't understand why. I haven't disputed those deletions since I wasn't going to use them in articles anyway. Currently I'm writing an article and I've found a photo on the same website I'd like to use. I found some files on Commons from this website as well and I tried to write description page similarly to them. Can you please check this description page and tell me if there's something wrong with it? Facenapalm (talk) 18:05, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

teamliquid.net is 'all rights reserved', you cannot take files from there. The licensing at liquipedia.net only applies to liquipedia.net. Jcb (talk) 21:39, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

What? Kevin Chang distributes his old photos under CC-BY-SA 4.0, as noted here. He's the only author and he have the right to choose the way he want to distribute them. The photo cannot be licensed under CC on one website and be copyrighted on another, that's a juridical nonsence. Facenapalm (talk) 23:46, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Photographers can use different licenses. The fact that they use CC at one site does not mean that everything you can find on the internet of that author is CC. Jcb (talk) 15:32, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

He distributed his old photos, taken for TL, under CC. In particular, this photo is used on liquipedia under Creative Commons license. I found this photo on Liquipedia, where CC was indicated, and mention Team Liquid as a source, where this photo was published for the first time and where his authorship is noted. What's wrong? That's not a random photo from the Internet, that's exactly the same case which is mentioned on his Liquipedia user page. Facenapalm (talk) 18:09, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

So if you found it at a site with a CC license, why did you source it to a site that's all rights reserved? To be able to accept the file we need a source reference that shows the CC license. Jcb (talk) 19:43, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Because you've already deleted the files with Liquipedia as a source. I searched for another Kevin's files at Commons and tried to write new description page similary to found ones. And also ask you how should I organise description page, but you instadeleted them without a discussion, without explaining what's wrong, without giving time to fix incorrect statements. I don't know about Commons policies — is it allowed to delete file without giving a chance to correct it, in Russian Wikipedia it's not — but that's at least rude.
I already uploaded this file to local ruwiki storage, since my article is done and it needs an illustration, so I don't care about this file status at Commons anymore. But it shocked me — how toxic and bureaucratic are Commons admins to newcomers. Facenapalm (talk) 22:50, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Deleted files

Hi Jcb, please restore the files File:Bad Oeynhausen Bernhard Sprute Landschaft nach Ruisdael 2013 02.jpg and File:Bernhard Sprute Vogelbild 2017 01.jpg. You deleted them on the grounds that No OTRS permission since 22 June 2018 was given. That's wrong. A permission was given in March (!) 2018 by artist Bernhard Sprute via OTRS ticket number 2018031910010718 (https://ticket.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom&TicketNumber=2018031910010718), but it was not cleanly implemented by the OTRS team. Sorry to say that, but for me this experience with the OTRS team and it's way of working was a very sad affair, to say the least. --J.-H. Janßen (talk) 22:32, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

If you think the ticket was not handled properly, send a new response to OTRS. Jcb (talk) 22:37, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

This reaction is exactly what I mean: This rampant bureaucracy drives one crazy! I ask for your help and you say: „You may fill in a completely new form.“ In such moments I think Wikimedia Commons is like a huge insane asylum... --J.-H. Janßen (talk) 23:43, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Hallo JCB! Bei dem Bild handelt es sich nicht um eine URV. Das Wasserzeichen markiert nur die Herkunft vom Büro des Premierministers, womit es als staatliche Quelle genutzt werden kann. Es ist hier noch nicht mal ein einzelner Mitarbeiter genannt, wie in dem Fall, bei dem hier auf behalten entschieden wurde. Schönen Gruß, --22:24, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

No acceptable license is indicated at Facebook. Please don't grab pictures from Facebook. Jcb (talk) 22:27, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, only because the photo was published via FB can not be the reason for a deletion. Officials in Timor-Leste are nearly only using FB as medium. And the sources ARE offical accounts of prime minister, president, etc., not sth fishy from someone, not known. --JPF (talk) 07:17, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Like written in the license I used:

"This file is in the public domain in East Timor, because it is published and distributed by the Government of Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, according to Article 13 of the Indonesia Copyright Law No 6, 1982, which is still valid in East Timor after independence 20 May 2002." --JPF (talk) 07:21, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

File:Handle with care, by Vito Bongiorno.jpg

Please do not delete files with an OTRS ticket pending uploaded less than one month ago. This one was uploaded last week, for instance. Thank you! --Ruthven (msg) 10:14, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

@Ruthven: Files without a license will be deleted after 7 days, no matter what tags they may have. That's a hard line per policy. Jcb (talk) 10:32, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Even if the license was specified by the uploader? Please check this version: you can clearly see that the user specified CC BY SA 4.0, but without adding the template. In those cases the "hard line" should be a little softer, if not applied at all. (and if you just didn't check, I recall that some times ago you said that you would do those deletions with more care, and taking more time to verify). Cheers --Ruthven (msg) 10:49, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Commons file OpenALPR_logo.png

Hi! This file (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:OpenALPR_logo.png ), which is a Logo, was already at the English wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:OpenALPR_logo.png ).

To have it accessible to other language article translations, I uploaded it to the Commons.

Is there anything wrong with it? Did I miss to copy any field? Was the English wiki file correct in its copyright? What is your recommendation? Should I upload it to the specific language wikipedia, would I have similar copyright problems? Thanks in advance, Griba2010 (talk) 10:55, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Being a logo isn't its use in the public domain already? Griba2010 (talk) 11:22, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi! I have seen the "Moving files to Commons" requirements. I will delete it from commons and submit it to the local translation wikipedia. Griba2010 (talk) 11:38, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

@Griba2010: you need to add a valid license. In this case I think the file is acceptable for Commons as being too simple for copyright, see COM:TOO. The license would be: {{PD-textlogo}} - Jcb (talk) 16:04, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

@Jcb: Thanks. Added license template PD-textlogo at license section, Removed No-licensing template I hope it will be correct. Griba2010 (talk) 16:38, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Yes, everything seems fine now. Jcb (talk) 19:35, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Commons files with Sissel Vogelmann deleted

Hi. I uploaded 3 files in Commons about Sissel Vogelmann (two with the mother File:Anna e Sissel Vogelmann.jpg and File:Anna e Sissel Vogelmann (cropped).jpg, which I cropped and another with the father File:Schulim e Sissel Vogelmann.jpg). A regular request to OTRS was send by the copyright owner, his brother Daniel Vogelmann. These are the two OTRS ticketsː Ticket#2019012910017829 e Ticket#2019012910017811 by Jannuary 29, 2019 17.53. So I really don't understand why were deleted, how is possible a No OTRS permission for 30 days (also keeping a derivated/cropped file from a deleted one)? Can you please check and give me a response ASAP? --Camelia (talk) 16:45, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

I have opened the tickets and they don't contain a valid permission. If an original file does not link to the crop, the crop may be missed on deletion. Jcb (talk) 22:01, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

Uncharted logos

Hi, I updated the license of these files: 1, 2, 3, 4. Did you check their descriptions before deleting them? The reason for the deletion is incorrect. The admin making the review was supposed to remove the request for permission as a new license took place. If you believe the threshold of originality is surpassed, please feel free to start a regular RfD.--Sakretsu (talk) 17:07, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

These files are obviously not below the threshold of originality, not even close. They could have been speedy deleted as copyright violation, but 'no permission for 7 days' is fine as well. Jcb (talk) 22:04, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

Questionable. If they can reproduce a logo with a free font, I wouldn't say it is so obvious.--Sakretsu (talk) 00:28, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

That font is not free enough either, 'Grátis para uso pessoal' is not compatible with COM:L. Jcb (talk) 00:42, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

Perfect, can you take care of File:Uncharted 1 - Drake's Fortune.png and File:Uncharted 3 - L'inganno di Drake.png too? Thanks--Sakretsu (talk) 17:38, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

hi, This image was deleted by you It has a source with Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licens, but sometimes its website has a problem, The mentioned website has been working for many years, For this reason I ask you to return the image and confirm the source.

also: this picture: Source --Kasir (talk) 08:52, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

I find this doubtful. An individual photographer is mentioned, no evidence that this is content "by ypa.ir". I think a message from the photographer to OTRS is needed here. I also see that you have removed a 'no permission' tag from this file in the past. Please be aware that you are not allowed to do so on your own uploads. Jcb (talk) 15:42, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi! This was just uploaded today from a brand new account. You deleted a file with the same name four days ago as a result of Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by -aristographic..

File:RobertDonley2018.jpg

I saw that you deleted File:RobertDonley2018.jpg. The file had previously been restored by Ankry (talk · contribs) who gave a OTRS ticket number (OTRS:2019011210004623) in the log. I only have read access to that queue on OTRS, but I wonder whether you missed that ticket number (maybe it wasn't noted on the file page itself) or whether you thought the ticket was insufficient in some way. Huon (talk) 16:28, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Ankry restored the file so that the ticket could be handled. When a permission is not accepted within 30 days after our first human response, the file will be deleted again and may be restored again if the permission is accepted. At this moment the ticket is open, so one day or another an OTRS agent will process it. Jcb (talk) 16:42, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

OK, thanks for the explanation. Huon (talk) 16:53, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello! Regarding Commons:Deletion requests/File:Ljungs församling karta.JPG. I didn't notice the nomination and the map isn't really worth saving, but anyway.

Re: "If you think there is a problem, fix or nominate for deletion instead."

File:Es Safriye cropped.jpg is a scan of a map from 1932, so it's a valid {{PD-Israel}} and doesn't qualify for deletion.

At the same time, it's clearly not the uploader's own work. I don't know the source or the actual author, so I cannot fix it.

Deletion of Renee Powell image

Hi! I uploaded the picture Renee_powell_recent.jpg because the copyright owner was going to release the rights. I just contacted the copyright owner and asked if they'd followed the rights release here. They said they did follow the wizard and released the rights already. I thought that the wizard would create the OTRS release... but I'm not proficient with OTRS. What else needs to happen to fix the situation? Thanks so much for your help! :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:26, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

The ticket did not (yet) lead to a valid permission. Jcb (talk) 17:39, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

Megalibrarygirl asked "What else needs to happen to fix the situation?" Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 21:23, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

A valid permission via OTRS is missing. If you are unable to achieve that, you will have to accept that we are unable to host the file. Jcb (talk) 21:41, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

So a WMF tool either broke, or was not usable by a member of the public, and you're protraying this as the editor's fault, and an excuse for your deletion? As always, a challenged admin retreats into being perfectly accurate, yet utterly useless and antagonistic to the editor working to improve the content here. 8-( Andy Dingley (talk) 21:55, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

The problem in this ticket is not the tool, the problem is the failure by source to send us a valid permission even after several messages by a fellow OTRS agent. Jcb (talk) 22:13, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

This ultimately stems from a complaint on one of the en-wp noticeboards about en:Renee Powell; I forget the specifics, but basically a user couldn't work out how to improve the article, so we expanded and improved it using their advice, for which they were thankful. Imagine what would have happened if we'd said, "sorry, that's spam cited to unreliable sources, have a nice day". It reminds me of the phrase "benefits are only given out to people who are good at filling in forms" - with potentially tragic consequences. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 23:33, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

Uitsnede met ongewenste gevolgen

Dag JCB,

Ik zie dat u nog steeds moderator bent hier. Ik stuitte bij toeval op een probleempje met deze afbeelding. Van deze postzegel (met beide kosmonauten afgebeeld) heeft iemand een "cropped" versie gemaakt. Het resultaat is echter, dat op vele artikelen nu een foute afbeelding staat. Ik heb de "dader" hiervan reeds op de hoogte gebracht. Maar ik werk vanaf een publieksPC, heb verder geen PC of smartphone in huis en weet niet hoe ik dit oplos. De kans zit er dik in, dat ik tot maandag niet online ben. Hierbij dus het verzoek om te kijken of gebruiker GualdimG zijn vergissing wil herstellen. Anders moeten wereldwijd een paar dozijn artikelen worden aangepast. Alvast bedankt. Met vriendelijke groeten, Maasje (talk) 16:17, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

 Opgelost - Jcb (talk) 16:19, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

Bedankt voor de snelle service! Maasje (talk) 16:24, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

Deleção em massa

Por que você mandou todas as imagens que eu carreguei para exclusão? A maioria delas (fotografias por exemplo) eu mesmo havia feito e outras eram material que não está no limiar de copyright. Há algum motivo específico pra isso? João Justiceiro (talk) 18:56, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

The 4 files that I deleted were 3 copyrighted logos and 1 picture that was not own work. Jcb (talk) 19:04, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

E o restante? Qual o motivo pra ser deletado? João Justiceiro (talk) 19:16, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

Looking further I see I deleted some more. Mainly copyrighted maps and copyrighted logos. Please be aware that everything you find on the web is principle is copyrighted unless there is evidence to the contrary. Jcb (talk) 19:20, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

Os logotipos que eu carreguei são formas simples de texto ou símbolos, não passíveis de copyright, e dois dos três que você citou obras artísticas que não estão em outros lugares. Os mapas são feitos a partir de criações de outros usuários, também sobre licença livre e indicados no próprio arquivo. E as fotografias então nem se fala, você cometeu um engano terrível. Em qual lugar eu posso solicitar o restauro dos arquivos? João Justiceiro (talk) 19:31, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

E.g. the most recent photograph you uploaded was File:Antiga UMJ da TV Itapoan (1981).png. This was taken from this nonfree video. We call that copyright violation. Jcb (talk) 21:57, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

file:Hän_lang.png

Hey. Why did you delete this file? As I see, everything is ok with license. For example, see File:Eyak lang.png — it has the same license. DanielloFlorenco (talk) 06:56, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Uploader uploaded multiple copyright violations. In such a case we flush all the files as a precaution and also because we don't have the capacity to spend a long of time on every copyvio uploader to see if one of their uploads may be fine. Jcb (talk) 11:45, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Ok, I understand. But this file wasn't copyrighted. Thanks for answering. DanielloFlorenco (talk) 13:22, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:PonteTorDiQuinto

Salve, Jcb
ho aggiunto alla pagina del file in oggetto uno dei tag da te suggeriti. Come forse avrai già intuito, non sono ancora molto pratico di Commons (a differenza di Wikipedia): spero di aver messo il tag nel punto giusto.
Grazie comunque. --Starless74 (talk) 08:46, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks! Everything seems fine now. Jcb (talk) 11:47, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Discussion

Why are my uploaded all images deleted? All images were posted here with proper licences. ZaxoteZ (talk) 12:09, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

They were deleted because they were copyright violations. Please see COM:L for our license requirements. Jcb (talk) 13:50, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

A mistake!

You deleted all my files for no good reason. Please restore them. Nikita Khalitov (talk) 13:51, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Even the NikitaKhalitov.jpg file I personally created in Photoshop was deleted! I find it offensive and a violation of my rights. Nikita Khalitov (talk) 13:54, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

One morning I was walking opposite the city park and decided to take a photo (File:Зимний парк 2.jpg) and upload it to the Commons immediately, it was also removed. This is outrageous! Nikita Khalitov (talk) 14:00, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

You uploaded multiple copyvio and spam. Jcb (talk) 15:47, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

I don't see any reason to delete ALL my files. I don't want to talk to you anymore.Nikita Khalitov (talk) 19:28, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

If somebody uploads a bunch of copyright violations, we usually just flush all the uploads. We are overwhelmed by copyvio uploaders and spammers and you are one of them. You cannot expect from the admins (all volunteers) that we spend any more time than necessary to clear up the mess. Please take your time to make yourself known about what is allowed and what is not allowed here before you start uploading again. Please read at least COM:L, COM:PS and COM:DW. Jcb (talk) 19:35, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

You deleted a picture with an OTRS ticket

Jcb, you have just deleted this picture that I had nominated because it lacked permission. However, after I spoke to the uploader he nicely filed an OTRS ticket for the picture. So why did you delete it? If you were mistaken, please be so kind to restore it. Take Mirrenberg (talk) 21:55, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

The OTRS permission was not accepted for this file. We grant 30 days to resolve a case after our first human response and then we delete the file if there is still no valid permission. Jcb (talk) 21:58, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Ok. Be so nice to write that down when closing the request, so that I don't have to contact you on your talk page. Take Mirrenberg (talk) 22:07, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

For future cases, please be aware that the automatic mentioning of an OTRS ticket in a DR does not mean that the ticket has been accepted. If such a DR is closed as delete by somebody who is not an OTRS agent, that may be reason to contact closing admin. In this case, when an OTRS agent is closing a DR in which an OTRS ticket is mentioned, you can safely assume that the ticket has been taken into account by closing admin and there is no need to contact them. Jcb (talk) 22:12, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Bedankt voor je reactie, goed om te weten. Maar het is niet transparant. In de richtlijn staat In any event, administrators are expected to clarify or explain their decisions on request.Take Mirrenberg (talk) 22:54, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

GlokkNine Page

Please restore the glokknine image, the page looks unappealing visually now, theres no way you figured out its a violation of copyright. You took down one of my images and then you deleted the rest without even looking--Proudpakistani11 (talk) 03:29, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

This file is all over the internet. Jcb (talk) 22:36, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

Deleted photo: Akademisk Fægteklubs logo.jpg

Apparently you have deleted this photo that I have recently uploaded. It is a photograph of the rear side of a silver medal that my father was awarded in 1937 from his fencing club (Akademisk Fægteklub). The photo is taken by me and adjusted in Photoshop. I do not understand why it has been deleted. Moj1948 (talk) 22:46, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Please contact OTRS. They will typically ask you to send the original file from your camera for verification. All your other uploads were grabbed from the web, so there is sufficient reason to ask verification. Jcb (talk) 15:03, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

My father died in 1999 and I am now the owner of the medal. You will find a Danish Wikipedia article about him in this link: https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tage_J%C3%B8rgensen - there is a brief article about ham in English as well. I have now - an hour ago - taken two mobile phone photos showing the front and the rear of the medal but I do not know how to present them to you. Would it - instead of forcing me to present the issue to "OTRS" - be an option for you to simply revoke your deletion?Moj1948 (talk) 11:26, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

No, there is no need to circumvent our established processes. Jcb (talk) 15:38, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

I have created the file myself, it hasn't been previously published, I am the sole owner of its copyright and I have followed the instructions found on the Commons:Upload page – exactly in accordance with the instructions on the Commons:OTRS web-site about one of the situations in which contacting OTRS is unnecessary. Your reason for deleting my image file allegedly is that my (three) “other uploads were grabbed from the web, so there is sufficient reason to ask verification”. This solely is a matter of your interpretation of whether this establishes “some other reason for my authorship to be doubted” – not a matter of circumvention of “established processes”. So what I was asking was whether you might reconsider your interpretation. In that respect I need to emphasize that I did not in connection with my three other attempts to upload image files claim that I was the owner of the copyrights. If you maintain your interpretation I will now have to present the matter to OTRS and apparently wait 6-7 months for permission.Moj1948 (talk) 07:49, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

It probably won't take 6-7 months, this is the age of the oldest open ticket. Tickets of that age are not the most simple cases. In the future, if you are not claiming to be the copyright holder of a file, do not upload such a file here. Even if you do not claiming ownership, uploading them here is still copyright violation. Jcb (talk) 08:10, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Image deleted - Oliver Eastwood.png

Hey there mate, so you deleted a whole bunch of pictures uploaded by me. I don't mind about most of them, but this one was a picture of me, taken by me. Could you please explain the grounds for deletion, cause I'm really confused as to why something that belongs to me apparently isn't my property. - OliverEastwood (talk) 12:42, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

In general the copyright holder is the photographer rather than the depicted person. Jcb (talk) 12:59, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

I assume good faith in both of you. So if what User:Jcb claims is true ("In general the copyright holder is the photographer") and if what User:OliverEastwood says is true ("this one was a picture of me, taken by me"), the file should be restored, or one of you two would be lying. Vysotsky (talk) 15:02, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

All the other uploads were obvious copyvio, so I see no reason to trust this user for this one. Based on what I can see in the deleted file, the claim is also unlikely. Jcb (talk) 15:24, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Cool. So I'll just take down my family Flickr site, because obviously the 2000 photos of me aren't mine, since... I took them. Oh wait. I am the copyright holder! Dude, can you see how BS this is? If you want, I can take a photo of myself holding the camera with the photo on it - would that satisfy your dumb guidelines? Seriously, man, you make people want to not upload anything. Thanks for starting off my day with some rubbish note. - OliverEastwood (talk) 00:05, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Horst Hennig

A year ago you deleted Horst Hennig. Now I have a license by Horst Hennig. Would this do?--Mehlauge (talk) 15:11, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

File:Dutch Corvette Djambi (1860-1874).jpg

Created in the 1860s according to file, information. In licensing field, looks like an incompatible license or permission with Commons "licenses work for use in line with showing military history with compulsory attribution." What should be done with this file? Abzeronow (talk) 16:25, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

I added PD-old and removed the bogus claim. Copyright in the Netherlands is PMA+70 and there is no way that the photographer who took this picture in 1860 would still have been alive in 1949. If we don't know when the author died, we use 120 years from creation as a safe line, this one is almost 160 years from creation. Jcb (talk) 17:04, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

MissouriStateHouseOfRepresentitives.svg

Hello Jacob, I'm fairly new to Wikipedia, and wasn't sure how to enter the correct copyright information, so I just left it blank to avoid mislabelling it, with plans to fix it at a later date. I was wondering if you could offer advice or direct me to a page that explains how to do it properly. You see, I was just updating the information on the Legislature page to take into account the two recent vacancies, and used the same diagram tool that the person who had previously edited the paged used. (that tool can be found here: https://tools.wmflabs.org/parliamentdiagram/parlitest.php). Now, when uploading it, I was hoping to just use the same copyright information as the original file (found here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Missouri_House_of_Representatives.svg), but I didn't the options that exactly matched that previous file. Any help is sincerely appreciated! ThatUnnamedRedShirt (talk)

Please see COM:L for more information about licenses. Jcb (talk) 23:27, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I think I did this correctly, but wanted to double check before I removed all of the warnings. Thanks for your help! ThatUnnamedRedShirt (talk)

Yes, this is fine. Jcb (talk) 23:35, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

Licensing

Not sure what detail you want for licensing so I have provided the licensing details for each image from which the video is made from.

Also you will notice that attribution with the license is present at the top of each slide within the video. And attribution of the text is at the end of the video along with the references.

Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:35, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

Yes, this is extensive enough I think. Thanks! Jcb (talk) 09:09, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

Perfect. We can do this fairly easily. Looks a little messy though. Is there a more condensed version you think would be sufficient? How about if we collapse the templates? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:32, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

I think it's no problem to leave it this way. An alternative could be something like File:Collage Rome.jpg, where only a license template is used for the production of the collage and the licenses of the original works are mentioned as text. Jcb (talk) 20:25, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

CheckUser

Hello.
Can you apply for a Commons CheckUser? The current admins ruined the business with their inactivity – the records expire, nobody cares of as little as data retention. Whereas you have an advantage that already are a CheckUser in nl.Wikipedia and hence don’t need an explicit clearance from Wikimedia for the promotion. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 13:16, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

I am not sure whether this would be wise at this stage. As you may have noticed, my activity has dropped significantly since about 6 weeks ago. The reason for this is that I am currently following a study (ATPL theory), next to my job and other activities, which will be taking a lot of time until about February 2020. I think I should not take new tasks at Commons before completion of this study. Jcb (talk) 14:15, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Good luck with the study, meanwhile could you ask Trijnstel to resume a sort of activity on Commons? I am not comfortable talking to her, especially given that Internet is the only my option. If she can make only token admin activity here (let alone CheckUser activity), then probably it would be wise to resign as a CU? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 14:33, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

In general, a lack of capacity in the CU team should lead to expansion of the team rather than reduction. I cannot help you for this due to IRL situation, but otherwise I would have considered. Jcb (talk) 16:37, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

I wonder why I should resign, as I am far from inactive. So I consider this a rather strange question. Trijnstel_talk 19:37, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Frankly speaking, I’d prefer to see predominantly Commons people (in contrast to generic Wikimedia hat-collectors) among senior administration, but no obvious pretext exists to demote, for instance, Krd – he makes some job, in his characteristic mute manner although, but it’s a visible job for Commons anyway. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 19:56, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Why on earth did you delet it without notifying me? The email was sent and the fact that you did not tell me really annoys me. I will reuplaod the image again. Not happy. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 21:56, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

The permission was not accepted by the OTRS agent within 30 days after our first response, which means that the file would be deleted. I don't care whether this may annoy you. If you reupload the file you will find yourself blocked. Jcb (talk) 22:01, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

File:Ryan Wyatt.jpg

Hi. I wanted to ask why the file above and its derivative File:Ryan Wyatt (cropped).jpg were deleted when it was indicated that the files were in a queue for processing. The copyright owner sent an email providing permission for the files to be used on Wikimedia. Davykamanzi → talk · contribs 23:36, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

If you'd like further evidence of the same, I'd be happy to provide screenshots of correspondence between myself and an intermediary for the copyright owner (part of a job I was paid for to create the copyright owner's article on Wikipedia). Davykamanzi → talk · contribs 23:39, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

N52AW

Why did you delete the photo? I had permission from the owner and it needed verifying in which I was waiting for? The excuse you gave on why you deleted it was rubbish. 30 days did not pass, along with it being a different photo of N52AW, very similar angle but different author and month. I will reupload the image as there was no reason given. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 09:38, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

@Jcb: Well, what is your reason? I contacted the photographer and he stated that he sent an email about authorising the use of his image of N52AW on Wikipedia? 194.207.74.71 18:05, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Allowing the loading of selfies

Can you help please. this file was loaded by Prof Clark at the request of a Wikimedian who assured her that it was possible for someone to load a picture of themselves to Wikimedia and as the photographer they could donate the image. This doesn't seam to have happened in this case. Can you explain the problem as we obviously want to avoid using the OTRS system as we find that the subjects of the articles lose interest in us and the whole process before a license can be confirmed. Can you help? Victuallers (talk) 14:21, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

The file was uploaded with the claim that permission was sent to OTRS, but we never received anything. The only thing I can do at this stage is telling you what you already know: Get the file confirmed via OTRS. There is no place here for "we obviously want to avoid using the OTRS system" or other attempts to circumvent our policies. Jcb (talk) 15:11, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

Since when is uploading selfies a circumvention of Commons policies? The only mistake the uploader made, was telling that permission would be sent to OTRS. They can correct that mistake by uploading a selfie and making clear it is own work. Vysotsky (talk) 15:25, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

The uploader does not appear to be the photographer in this case. Jcb (talk) 15:27, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

That's all fine with me. Just imagine: a woman, born in 1938, tries to help by bringing a photograph of herself into Wikimedia Commons (there's an article about her in EN & ID-Wiki). She (and/or her assistant) fail twice (in 2018 & 2019), because the rules are too complicated for newbies, and they apparently haven't coloured inside the lines. An experienced user (Victuallers, here since 2006) asks you politely "Can you help?" and the only thing you can offer is to spell out the rules to him, and warn him "there is no place here" for such actions. You are an administrator as of 2013. One of the community roles for adminstrators: "Administrators are expected to understand the goals of this project, and be prepared to work constructively with others towards those ends." Is there any other help you can offer in this case? Vysotsky (talk) 19:55, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

The uploader uploaded several blatant copyright violations. In such cases we flush the whole batch, without reviewing the files one by one. Jcb (talk) 16:11, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

• Ah, gotcha - that makes sense. What happened with the others is that she was searching YouTube for CC videos and the other videos came up. She's very new to all of this, so she didn't really know all of what to check for. I'll work with her more on this or offer to upload the videos myself under my main account.

OTRS permission

Hi. As far as I know, an OTRS permission e-mail was sent for File:Serhat - "Say Na Na Na" music video.jpg and the other file related with the music video that I can't remember the name. Can you please check again? If there's not any e-mail, can you please bring these images back so I can tell the copyrights owner to re-send the e-mail? Thank you in advance :)--Rapsar (talk) 05:50, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

We did receive something at OTRS, but the permission was considered insufficient by the OTRS agent. Jcb (talk) 07:53, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

I expect people to use their watchlist if they want to keep track of the conversations they started. An OTRS agent responded to the ticket with additional questions, which were never answered. Jcb (talk) 12:45, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

It is not a difficult thing to send a notification, we are all trying to improve Wiki projects, no? :) It'd be difficult to add your talk page on my watchlist and keep track if you respond me. I am pretty active in Wiki projects so I miss my conversations. If you just upload it back, I will solve the problem and we are going to have a nice image which would be helpful in the related Wikipedia article :) Regards.--Rapsar (talk) 05:41, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

It's the other way round. The problem needs to be solved with OTRS and if they think there is a valid permission, they will take care of undeletion. Jcb (talk) 14:52, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Carolinian images

Hello I wanna say the images of Carolinians you told me about were copyrighted. I thought they were public domain since they were taken in the early 20th century and before that. I read on Wikipedia that photos taken before 1924 were public domain. If I can take them down I will. I also wanna say I'm new at Wikipedia.

Please be aware that copyright regulations depend on the country of origin, although taken before 1924 is not a Public Domain reason in any country. The US has published 95 years ago (probably where your 1924 comes from), many countries use author died 70 years ago. Jcb (talk) 07:57, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

File:MarinaBerko.png

Dear @JCB: I’ve posted my explanations in response to a deletion request of the File:MarinaBerko.png and sent an email to the legal dept. of Wikipedia in LA asking them to give me a legal venue for clearing the above 1946 photo (under the law, a user *must show an effort to obtain the copyright permission*, which I am more than willing to do, given an opportunity). I didn’t receive a response to either my explanations or the email to the legal dept. May I ask you to undelete the photo until I receive a response from the Wikipedia legal? Thank you. Klm99ever (talk) 19:50, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

You have received several responses from an OTRS agent, who did not consider the permission valid. I don't think the legal department is going to involve itself. For us (and for every copyright regulation in the world) 'an effort to obtain the copyright permission' has no meaning. It's all about actually obtaining permission. Jcb (talk) 20:20, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Legal dept. may not ‘want or not want to involve itself’, let me explain why and give you some info on the copyright law.

1. The Wikimedia Foundation, the legal body responsible for Wikipedia, is based in the US state of California. Although legislation is sometimes unclear about which laws are to apply on the Internet, the primary law relevant for Wikipedia is that of the United States.

2. The photo we are talking about (taken in 1946) is in the public domain since 1974, as can be seen from the following excerpt

‘[year of first publication]... during 1924-1963: without notice, or with notice but not renewed within 28 years of first publication ==> Work has entered US public domain.’

(initially, I’ve misread the law: this photo does not require permission of the copyright owner.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Klm99ever (talk • contribs) 21:17, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

If the legal dept. will not respond to my request, they will respond to a letter from my lawyer. If not, they will respond in the court. I am asking you to undelete the photo until we clarify this. Thank you for reading.

Klm99ever (talk) 21:12, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

— Preceding unsigned comment added by Klm99ever (talk • contribs) 21:09, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

You are mistaken for two reasons:

• The Berne Convention does apply in the US, so that it is necessary to show that the picture is free in the country of origin.
• There is no legal base for you to demand us to accept a file to our servers. Our servers, our rules.

Please be aware that continuing to threaten with legal action will usually lead to a block. Jcb (talk) 21:21, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

OK, I will check about copyright laws and public domain in Russia. I don’t think threatening a user who regularly supports Wikipedia financially with blocking for compliance with the law (as well as denying the law - “our servers, our rules”) is a good idea. Have a great time of the day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Klm99ever (talk • contribs) 00:00, 30 April 2019 (UTC) Klm99ever (talk) 00:00, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Dear @JCB: I wish to thank you for your advice to check with the copyright laws in Russia where the photo was taken. I've done that and I think I owe you this report. I obtained opinions from two lawyers, both are experts in the copyright law. Both concluded that, under the Civil Code of Russian Federation (which regulates copyright provisions), the photo in question is in the Public Domain (there is a specific Russian term for that) since January 1, 2017. Accordingly, it may be published and used for other purpose without permission (I am positive you are too busy to listen to legal details, reference to the relevant articles of the Civil Code and to related laws). Thanks again.

Klm99ever (talk) 17:44, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Which of the criteria of {{PD-Russia}} would apply according to these lawyers and what evidence would there be for that? Jcb (talk) 21:59, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Dear JCB: I would be happy to give you full analysis of the legal opinions, provided you are empowered and willing to undelete the photo. You’ve referred to an opinion of OTRS personnel; is this thread the right venue for legal discussions?

Klm99ever (talk) 07:04, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

OTRS is for permissions. As you are currently not talking about permissions but about a supposedly expired copyright, OTRS is not the right place. Please tell me for what reason this image would be PD and what evidence we have for that. Jcb (talk) 07:09, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Ok, thanks, I don’t understand much about OTRS permissions and how to indicate the PD for Wikimedia uploads anyway, so let me try and sorry if it will be long. I will have to attempt translating provisions of the Russian law. First, let me mention that the PD-Russia page (PDR for brevity) you’ve linked to refers to the Article 1281 of the Civil Code of Russian Federation (CCRF-1281) but that article doesn’t say what’s written on the page: PDR ##3,4 are rather interpretations than quotes from CCRF-1281, so we must be careful here. You are right that the copyright for the photo has expired; it is according to the Section 2 of CCRF-1281, which is analogous to PDR #4. Anonymous (or pseudonimous) publication shifts the start of the 70-year “term of exclusive rights” to the first day of the year, following the “year of legitimate publication” of the material. So, for the 1946 photo it is 1/1/1947, arriving to PD 1/1/2017. Further, according to lawyers, the fact of anonymity is proven trivially by looking at the original physical photo: it is anonymous if its front and back does not include either author’s name or the name of a business entity where the photo was taken (it doesn’t; there is only a handwritten numeric-Russian text “1946 Moscow”). Next, I don’t have the burden of proof that the author didn’t come out screaming “it is my photo!” sometime during the 70-year period. I didn’t dig deep and just trust the lawyers on that (my common sense strongly agrees with that, too). Still, as a Silicon Valley jerk, I searched for the photo in each of the top10 image search engines, and all of them returned zero results. I really hope you would help me as I am quite upset with this adventure. Thanks for reading.

Klm99ever (talk) 08:18, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Here at Commons the uploader does have the burden of proof that a work is free. For option 4 of PD-Russia we need evidence that it was published (not just taken) before 1949. You did not even mention publication information. Even then we have to know whether this publication was wilfully anonymous, which is quite different from not finding authorship information on the internet. We have had a community vote about pictures in this situation and we have set 120 years from creation as a safe line, so that we can accept this picture from 1 January 2067. Jcb (talk) 08:40, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

I am only interested in learning what the law says in one or another country. If the Russian law allows taking a community vote to establish the norm of PD (общественное достояние, in Russian), so be it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Klm99ever (talk • contribs) 13:04, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Klm99ever (talk) 13:05, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

In this case we have insufficient information to determine whether this would be PD or not in Russia. In such a case we fall back on our precautionary principle policy, which demands that we don't accept files of which we have reasonable doubt about their copyright situation. We have voted on the limits of 'reasonable', not on the Russian law of course. Jcb (talk) 13:38, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Dear JCB: definitions and rules of establishing authorship for works created in Russia are regulated by the Russian law. As I said, I just didn’t dig deep yet to see if the “reasonable doubt” is, indeed, reasonable. I’ve never seen before the term “willful anonymity” and don’t know if such requirement is supported by the Russian law, but lawyer I am not. In any event, I am reasonably confident that Wikipedia will never willfully put one of its largest branches in conflict with the Russian law. Klm99ever (talk)

Permission to use a picture, found on Flickr , but is not on Flickr anymore?

Hi Jcb. I have once before tried to get permission to use this picture , in the article about the Danish painter Elisa Maria Boglino. The painting is at museo GAM in Palermo. Somebody had made a photo from it and put it on Flickr......but some month ago it dissapeared, I think because Flickr wanted people to pay more. We the family to Elisa Maria Boglino, who have written the article, and have copyright, have taken a photo ourselves of the painting, but its not half as good as this one. Now, when it is no longer on Flickr , is there any possibility to use it in the article? I think your answer is no....is there ane way to find out who has taken the photo.? :https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Donna_e_Bimbo._Museo_Gam_Palermo._Elisa_Maria_Boglino.Olie_p%C3%A5_l%C3%A6rred._1930.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1. Thank you Ciopone. (talk) 15:08, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

File:GlokkNine.jpg image

Hello, the image you deleted from the GlokkNine page was more than legal and followed the fair share use. It was of a governmental use from Orange County Florida, the governmental agency specifically stated "All of the photographs and records on this website are parts of public records. We are under no legal obligation to remove anything on this website. Publishers are NOT REQUIRED to obtain permission from anyone to post public records". The link is here.--Proudpakistani11 (talk) 22:26, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

That statement is not compatible with our License requirements and we don't allow fair use. Jcb (talk) 22:34, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

I believe you are incorrect, like I said before. Mugshots are in the public domain, anybody can access them. If you are claiming my image for GlokkNine is incorrect, than the mugshots for other rappers like Lil Pump, YNW Melly, and Wideneck would be deleted, but they are not. My image is completely fine in the public domain, an image helps with visually appearance of an article. Once again you are unspecific with your reasoning of License requirements, now within 24 hours I am going to re upload the file of GlokkNine's image, and I will put a new Orange county Florida governmental license on it, if you see the history of the File:GlokkNine.jpg, another Wikipedian edited it and added the proper licensing. You are unjustly deleting images, I am assuming you are using the "Nuke" option. Please don't, I am considering filing a complaint in case because I am not violating any rules as you are clearly not explaining. --Proudpakistani11 (talk) 02:33, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Assistance with photograph attached to Jonathan Browning (inventor)

Dear JCB: I just received a message from you regarding attributions to a photograph I placed on my ancestor, Jonathan Browning's wikipedia entry. I am very new to working with Wikipedia and it's very confusing, to say the least. I didn't think there would be any issues with uploading an image because it is a family photograph that I own and, it was created in 1865 so it should be in the public domain. Can you please tell me what I need to do to fix the issues you described? Thanks in advance, Morgan Browning

premature deletion of File:Portrait of Barry Rosenstein.jpg

Hi JCB: I just received an email that https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Portrait_of_Barry_Rosenstein.jpg was deleted by you because the picture did not get OTRS permission. However, I thought the photo can be on Commons for 30 days before it is removed. The photo was uploaded on April 11, 2019, and you took it down on May 7, 2019. Am I wrong about the 30 day limit? I also would like to know if it would have helped to get the OTRS permission if I had placed the picture immediately on [Rosentein's Wiki]? Can you tell me what the next step for me is to get the photo on the Wikipedia article with OTRS permission. Thanks. Cookiemonsterfun (talk) 06:55, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

How is this deletion premature? You uploaded the file in Oktober, but we never received anything in OTRS. The backlog of OTRS is taken into account to by the system. For 11 April this file was automatically added to the 'no permission since' 7 days process, so that it was eligible for deletion since 18 April. Jcb (talk) 16:14, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

I don't understand why self-made content has been deleted. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hburdge (talk • contribs) 19:42, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Own work? No, I don't think so. Jcb (talk) 20:24, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I don't understand why you think those files are not my work. If you would like me not to use the photographs I understand and will not, but the schemes were my own work in ChemDraw, which I screenshotted because you can't upload .cdx files to the Commons. If you need further proof that these are of my own creation and have a way to view .cdx files, I am more than happy to send them to you to prove that these are in fact my work. Could you please explain why I can't have the schemes? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hburdge (talk • contribs) 20:39, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

At least for the pictures I am pretty sure that you are not the photographer. Not sure why I should believe you about the other files. Jcb (talk) 21:14, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

I will contact Wikipedia staff to discuss this issue, then, and I will send them the files I created myself. I am happy to provide the same to you. It's pretty crazy that you won't accept that I created this content when the chemistry Wikipedia pages are full of images created in Chemdraw-- it's a very common program. Do you want my CV to prove my credentials or something? hburdge (talk)

Use of projects for complaints

Hi, could you give a review in the cases Denunciantedalapa (talk · contribs) and ALAPAFALA‎ (talk · contribs)? Accounts likely to belong to the same person who is using the projects to report a graveyard located in Brazil. Although I consider the photos to be valid (but I do not have an in-depth knowledge of Commons policies), the titles and descriptions are serving for a purpose I do not consider correct: FURTOS (Thefts), Negligent Administration, etc. Conde Edmond Dantès (talk) 05:38, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Discussion on ANU

Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems#Jcb and no source tagging

To reiterate, I just want to discuss this way of dealing with empty source fields. If other admins come to the conclusion this is what we want, carry on. I just want to see it discussed. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 10:04, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

No, that's not what you want. You are well aware that COM:AN/U is not the place for that. All you want is creating more drama. Jcb (talk) 10:25, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

What would be the right place, then? The Village Pump? There's no one else doing what you do, it's no general issue. It'd be weird. Don't tell me what I want. I have long accepted you will be a sysop on Commons for as long as I'll live. But on top of that, nobody is allowed to have any criticism or suggestions regarding your actions? That's harsh. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 10:45, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

File:Henrika Santel Brat i Sestra (1925.) - iz privatne kolekcije.jpg

Please undo this recent deletion of yours. As indicated by the file name, the author is Creator:Henrika Šantel whose works are PD already, and if the frame is the issue, it can be cropped out without impoverishing Commons needlesly. If I understand correctly, the uploader was a new user who may have botched license tags, but that still doesn't mean such drastic measures should be taken. — Yerpo ^Eh? 06:26, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

This uploader uploaded multiple copyright violations, see also here. And yes, a picture including a 3D frame also needs permission from the photographer. In this case about half of the surface of the picture would have to be cropped away. Jcb (talk) 14:49, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

We'll crop it away, no problem. But I'm telling you that this particular contribution by Umjetnostbalkana is otherwise not a copyright violation. So can you please undelete or no? — Yerpo ^Eh? 04:57, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

@Yerpo: I have temporarily undeleted the file. Please make sure to make the crop within a few days. All 3D elements need to be cropped away, so that only the oval painting remains. Jcb (talk) 15:33, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

 Done, please delete the old version from the file history. — Yerpo ^Eh? 06:15, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

Deletion image Raugel

Hello, I saw you suppress a photo of Geneviève Raugel I downloaded a few days ago. I am surprised because there is no violation of copyright on this photo which came from the Oberwolfach collection : https://opc.mfo.de/detail?photo_id=7008 and can be used freely as indicated. Moreover, the same is uploaded again on Wikicommons (in a worse version) File:Raugel genevieve.jpg and used, apparently without a problem. Thus, I would like to know if it is because of the licence (I put Share Alike 2.0 Germany as indicated) or if it is forbidden to use it on the French wikipedia. And also what I should do. I had no notification of the suppression. Thank you for your answer, --Cgolds (talk) 07:04, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

You uploaded the file with no license template at all. This absence in combination with the file being published elsewere, normally leads to speedy deletion. I have visited the source before deletion, but from there it was not immediately visible that the picture was CC. You cannot expect from administrators to do a lot of research on files like this, we are flooded with thousands of copyright violations every day and about 90% of the work is done by no more than 10 volunteers. Now the file has been uploaded in a higher resolution with the correct license template, you can simply use that file. Jcb (talk) 15:46, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Of course, I put a license template ! As explained above, I put the license Share Alike 2.0 Germany etc., indicated the author, the copyright and the origin (I am not exactly a beginner on Wp/Wc). It is why I did not understand the deletion at all: is it a bug? The file which had been uploaded is in fact not exactly the same, although they came from the same place/source. Of course, I can/will put mine as a derived version of it, which it is. But I wanted to know if there was another problem before doing that, precisely to avoid extra-work (yours or mine). Thank you for your answer (although, as said, I do not understand it completely as I put everything as usual). --Cgolds (talk) 21:54, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Different from what you claim, you did not put a license template, not even e.g. a template with a typo, you just did not put anything at all. Jcb (talk) 22:24, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Argh ! I have now understood the problem. I used the automatic upload, but I had to use the "other reasons" as the automatically proposed licenses were not the right ones for this photo. And I put the license in words (Share Alike Germany etc), not with the model. I have corrected this now. Sorry for the trouble. Thanks, --Cgolds (talk) 06:41, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

What are you doing???

Why have you deleted photos with "No OTRS permission since 25 April 2019"???????????? The author of these photos Mikhail Kulgeiko sent his consent to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org to publish his photos already on 5th November 2018, THESE PHOTOS ARE IN OTRS QUEUE!!! Why haven't you asked at least me about the status??? Restore the photos immediately!!! Vedenei (talk) 11:45, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Hmm, not sure why Krdbot did not add the ticket numbers to the files. Maybe because of some specific characters in the file names? Any way, the ticket was handled the same day by a colleague, who concluded that the permission was invalid and who replied to the ticket accordingly. Jcb (talk) 21:04, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Now you know that it was a mistake. Restore the deleted files immeediately! Vedenei (talk) 04:55, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Necessidade de esclarecimento (Need for clarification)

Johan I do not understand why you beleive that - as you wrote - "a página do ficheiro não contém informação suficiente sobre a licença, ou que contém informação contraditória sobre a mesma, pelo que o estado dos direitos de autor não é claro." The image is a partial copy - in low quality - of this image uploaded on July 17, 2016 to Wikimedia Commons and never desturbed. We should first, by logic, eliminate the image of the complete page 149 of the Voynich Manuscript and only after this procedure, delete the partial reproduction, agree? Can you be so kind as to explain why do think that page 149, thought to have been written, by an unknown author, in the 15th or 16th century is an "obra possivelmente sujeita à proteção do direito de autor,"? Are planning to delete all 216 pictures? I don't understand your logic. Please, explain it. Thanks. Luizpuodzius (talk)

You did not add a license to the file. Another user fixed this in the meantime. Jcb (talk) 21:35, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

Help: Abuse of project to prove point of view

Hi Jcb, I apologize for having to request your interference again, but I consider that this user is using the project to bypass the blocking done in the wiki.

In summary, I requested the deletion of an article created by it, because it was mistranslated. She distorted the motives of elimination and made an attack on me and another user. She was blocked because of this. See the log.

So it seems that she "forgot" the attack she made and decided to victimize herself ... the point is that she has uploaded several screenshots involving me and another user, which in my view is an exposition with no respect whatsoever. So, I would like the files to be deleted and penalties applied to the user.

• File:Modificações do Renato.png
• File:Motivo do meu bloqueio 01.png
• File:Motivo do meu bloqueio 03.png
• File:Motivo do meu bloqueio 02.png
• File:Motivo do meu bloqueio 04.png
• File:Motivo do meu bloqueio 05.png
• File:Motivo do meu bloqueio 06.png
• File:Motivo do meu bloqueio 07.png
• File:Motivo do meu bloqueio 08.png
• File:Motivo do meu bloqueio 09.png

I think that Commons was used to circumvent the block, solely to reinforce events of the wiki (see: that she used the upload to reinforce her argument on wikipedia. In addition, you can see in the log that she has a long history of blocking aggressive behavior). Once away from the scope of the project. Conde Edmond Dantès (talk) 01:50, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

Licensing evidence

Hi, You recently deleted a couple of flies I had just uploaded: File:19-5054 approaching.jpg and File:19-5045 banking.jpg because there was no good evidence of copyright compatibility. I know of examples in the past where a communication from the copyright owner has had to be recorded. The pages linked in the notifications gave no description of what kinds of communications would be acceptable. For example I could take a screenshot of the private message I received on a forum, authorising me to upload these images, and forward that on. But would it be enough and where should I (or the copyright owner) forward any message to? Are you able to help with any of this? My apologies for being such a numpty, but there it is. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 17:36, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

It's good to know that 'permission to upload at Commons' is not free enough. Commons only accepts files that are released into a compatible free license. For more information see COM:L. In case of permission from a third party, please ask them to contact us via OTRS. Please provide them with the file names, so that the OTRS volunteer can easily find the involved files.

HUSS Park Attractions Logo.svg

Hi, yesterday evening you removed this file with the message "still no license". I was wondering if you had read the short discussion above: the uploader had asked what licence should be added, but no one responded. I believe, since the original file had a licence, that answering the question would be enough to resolve this issue and keep the file. Probably the uploader was just waiting for an answer to add the right licence right away. Regards, Rickie97 (talk) 12:41, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

It's an established fact that files with no license get deleted after 7 days if there is still no license. There is no discussion about that. Jcb (talk) 16:01, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

Deleted images

Hi. Regarding the deleted images in this discussion, the original photographer had already sent an email to Wikipedia (the OTRS was pending). So I feel like the deletion was premature.

Thanks, --Nehme1499 (talk) 22:31, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

The OTRS agent did not (yet) accept the permission and asked for additional information. We never received any response, so that the files are deleted for now (which is not premature) and can be undeleted if a valid permission is established. Jcb (talk) 12:08, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Deletion of File:TheMexicanRunner in 2019.jpeg

So, I know OTRS never got back within 30 days, but I figured they were just too busy to process the email they received. I believe the copyright holder emailed his permission. Was something wrong with the email, was the permission granted not sufficient? Did he fail to respond to a follow-up request? JordiGH (talk) 03:00, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

You figured that out wrong. OTRS responded the next day, 24 April, but we never heard back. The permission is not (yet) valid. Jcb (talk) 17:02, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. Maybe he just didn't notice the follow-up email. I'll ask him to see if he can see what's up. JordiGH (talk) 20:14, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

You are once again blatantly mistaken. 'OTRS pending' does not counteract a copyvio tag.

@Nsaa:  Done - please process the ticket - Jcb (talk) 12:54, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi Nsaa. I am actually not interested in undeletion of the files. I have the pictures in the article , I need for now. But I have recently uploadet File:Donna e Bimbo. Elisa Maria Boglino. Olie på lærred. 1930. Museo GAM Palermo.jpg in a new version, with a photo taken by ourselves, and it has been nominated for delete, and it should not be deleted, because we have the copyright to both photo and painting. I have written to Arthur Crbz about this today...maybee he take a look at it? Thank you for writing.Ciopone. (talk) 16:56, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi Jcb.Some time ago I wrote you about the "Donna e Bimbo" the photo , which has dissapeared from Flickr after more than 10 years. And you answered me I was not aloud to use it , if I did not have the URL or the name of the photographer. Now we have taken a photo ourselves( my uncle has been i Palermo) it is not especially good, but the best for now.I shared it yesterday , and it is now nominated for delete by De728631 because the question of copyright. I wrote about it to Arthur Crbz, who knows about our copyright. If he for any reason does not react , maybe I could ask you to take a look at it? Thank youCiopone. (talk) 17:46, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Permission should come from the heirs of Elisa Maria Boglino. Please ask them to contact OTRS. Jcb (talk) 12:56, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi Jcb. We are the heirs to Elisa Maria Boglino. My uncle who took the picture is her son, we have had many pictures accepted at the OTRS, used in the Elisa Maria Boglino Article and we ought to have some kind of permanent permission because we sent all the papers.

This is a copypaste from discussionpage for the nomination to delete:Donna e Bimbo. Elisa Maria Boglino. Olie på lærred. 1930. Museo GAM Palermo.jpg 2.144 × 2.421; 535 KB https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Donna_e_Bimbo._Elisa_Maria_Boglino._Olie_p%C3%A5_l%C3%A6rred._1930._Museo_GAM_Palermo.jpg @Arthur Crbz: Do we have a ticket for works painted by Elisa Maria Boglino? If so, we could keep this one. Cipione, I'm afraid the image posted at the museum's website does not have a free licence, so we cannot use it over here. De728631 (diskussion) 18:28, 30 May 2019 (UTC) PS: I found ticket:2018092610005076 at other such files, so we just need to know if it is a general permission for paintings by Boglino and not just for the current uploads. De728631 (diskussion) 18:32, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Maybe Arthur Crbz is going to answer this ping, but if he does not....maybe you could look at it?-I am sorry for asking you again,but otherwise the photo will be deleted?Thank youCiopone. (talk) 00:40, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Please ask your uncle to contact OTRS. He should receive an autoreply with a ticket number. If you post this ticket number here, I will take care that the file does not get deleted before the ticket is handled. Jcb (talk) 20:47, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Thank you...I will do it, he cannot and its me who used the wizzard to upload. I will upload again with the other method (release generator), get a ticketnumber and send it to you...is that ok?Ciopone. (talk) 22:11, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

You don't need to reupload the file, just leave it where it is. The OTRS ticket will stop the deletion nomination. Jcb (talk) 22:27, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi..this is the number:[Ticket#2019060210001181] Does that mean I can use the file from now on.....or shall I wait until we reach the number.?Thank you once more:)Ciopone. (talk) 08:45, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Yes, you can use the file. Jcb (talk) 11:20, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

removed logo

Please can you restore the file Lilith.jpg you removed five days ago in Commons user Eugenia Galateri because our Organization sent a mail and a letter to confirm the authorization to publish in wikimedia. See mail sent May 29th to permissions-it@wikimedia.org as Ticket#2019042410005603 from the Network Lilith (rete Lilith) President. This logo was done by Maria Patrelli who gave it free of charge to Rete lilith She has non more the first logo done in her computer with hight resolution because now she is retired so she gave us this file.--Eugenia Galateri (talk) 07:38, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

The involved OTRS agent did not (yet) accept the permission, so that I cannot undelete the file. Jcb (talk) 12:59, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

Borrado de imágenes en el dominio público

Hola JCB,

Días atrás subí 11 imágenes de dominio público desde una página del gobierno chileno en flickr.com . Las fotos estaban como de "public domain" cuando las subí. Las has borrado y en flickr.com ya no están. Me puedes explicar por que las borraste y si sabes o intuyes la razón de su desaparición de flickr.com?

Saludos, --Juan Villalobos (talk) 09:42, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

Mary Movsisyan's Photos Given by Herself

Good evening, dear Jcb,

I can see from your talk page you have been doing a ton of jobs in favor of Wiki, and I would like to express my gratitude to you for that.:)) As for the files Mary Movsisyan.jpg and alike, I understand you cannot help deleting them either as there is no permission from the OTRS agent. However, the author of the photos (as well as Mary Movsisyan herself) sent his agreement to the OTRS agent to publish these photos. Where else could I, or the author of the photos, or the person whose photo was uploaded, possibly write to stop deleting this file? Gould you kindly tell us? Thanks for your consideration in advance. --Marina Melik-Adamyan (talk) 14:58, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

I have taken a look at ticket:2019043010008983. To the OTRS agent it was unclear who the author was. He sent a reply asking for clarification, but we never received a response. I think this case may be easy to resolve. Probably the best thing to do is to contact Krd. Please refer to the mentioned ticket number, so that he can easily locate the ticket.

File:Screenshot of Nightpedia script.png

I had no idea G7 only applied for a week after uploading! If you can do it, I'd actually prefer that file be merged into the history of File:Screenshot of nightpedia script.png. They are the same script, just different appearance, and different capitalization :) I would have just moved the file and uploaded a new version, had I thought of it. If you can't help no worries; I can file a deletion request or just let it linger. It's not important. Thanks! — MusikAnimal ^talk 21:30, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

In principle we use different file names for different appearances as much as possible, so history merging is probably not a good idea. Jcb (talk) 21:38, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
