Paolo Borsellino died in 1992, then surely the photo was taken 20 years ago, since we are in 2012.--Midnight bird 22:31, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello MGA73,

another three weeks have passed, and it seems there was no further reply to OTRS. If you don't have any objections, I'd like to decide that DR tomorrow. Regards --Rosenzweig τ 21:38, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

New update in the DR. I do not mind if it is closed. The permission was owned by someone else but for some reason I got involved :-) --MGA73 (talk) 00:16, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
Closed, finally. --Rosenzweig τ 12:00, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

These empty images

Should someone like you upload these images? The 2 images by dalbera like this look quite in scope. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 09:46, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

In some cases it is enough to click the link in the text "You must then click this link to complete the upload." to get the bot to upload the files. I will have a look of the other files. --MGA73 (talk) 10:41, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
  •  Comment: It looks like the uploader delayed the upload process for a day since he just uploaded the images today. Normally, I thought only the uploader could 'click this link' to upload them, not a third party. No matter, they are useful images for Commons. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 20:23, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
Nope... I clicked the link and bot uploaded images 5 seconds later :-) --MGA73 (talk) 20:28, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Is there enough proof that the uploader the author?

Re: File:Pneumothorax CXR.jpg. This image is from a clinicalcases.org, but there is appears to copyrighted by the website. en:User:Clinical Cases, the original uploader, has not contributed to en Wiki for a long time. This user says that he is the main author of several websites including clinicalcases.org on his en Wiki user page. Is there enough proof that the uploader is the author? Should the author have sent a email to confirm the copyright? Snowmanradio (talk) 13:08, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Today we would most likely ask uploader for a permission but back in 2007 it was most likely more acceptable that we did not require permission. I do not think that the photo looks like a high risk image and there are no copyvio warnings on the uploaders talk page so personally I would asume good faith. But we have no solid proof. --MGA73 (talk) 20:39, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Your recent votes at Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems#Alternatives look extremely confused. Please try to explain what you'd actually like to see happen. If it isn't one of the options given, you'll have to present another. Rd232 (talk) 19:51, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

When 2 users think that something needs to be done and 6 users say no why do you come to the conclusion that the discussion should be continued? Why not close it as "There is not concensus to block Pieter or change the signal we send earlier to try to stay away from eachother as far as possible?
Anyway I made an alternative you can comment on at Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems#Alternative:_Block_User:SergeWoodzing_for_harassing_User:Pieter_Kuiper. To me it is SergeWoodzing that is way out of line here and not Pieter. --MGA73 (talk) 19:57, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
Consensus is not decided by voting, and far too many of the users commenting seem not to grasp the fundamentals of situation: there was an interaction ban voluntarily agreed, there was an edit which could reasonably be considered to breach it (certainly I thought the ban would cover that edit), and when doubts arose about the terms of the ban, it proved necessary to try and clarify that. This is really not that complicated, but it seems to really confuse people - including, apparently, you. Rd232 (talk) 20:15, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
First of all the comment that Pieter made to stay away from SergeWoodzing is not the same as it has been decided that Pieter should be blocked or banned if he ever makes an edit on a page that SergeWoodzing edited earlier. I know more than one example where an user says something like "Oh I'm getting sick of Commons and I will not edit here anymore" and then short after returns and start editing again.
Second I know that concensus is not about votes but a help to make it easier to see where the user stand and did you see a clear concensus that something needed a change? As I read the comments then most of the users think 1) the edit Pieter made was correct and nothing to worry about so there was not an edit that reasonably could be considered a breach and 2) there was no need to change anything. --MGA73 (talk) 20:40, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
Who said anything about blocking or banning - apart from Serge's opening reference to a "permanent ban" (which, lest we forget, was certainly an option under discussion in the original thread which led to the interaction ban agreement)? As for users' views: the question was essentially "is X covered by agreement Y (hm, what is/was/should be the nature of agreement Y?)", and most of the responses "X is trivial, so we're not going to answer the question". That's not a viable conclusion, and is why I kept pointing out the need for clarification. And BTW even if the answer had been straightforwardly "yes, it's covered", there should not have been a sanction this time - just clarification for the future operation of the interaction ban. It's not like the whole thread is about trying to sanction Pieter for a reasonable edit he thought wasn't covered. Rd232 (talk) 21:04, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
Okay. I'll reply on AN. --MGA73 (talk) 19:41, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

If this is a derivative, maybe it should face a DR. Its your call. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 06:27, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

It is but it looks like simple text and the logo is rather small so I would let it pass. --MGA73 (talk) 09:34, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
  •  Comment: Rillke passed it. I was confused over the copyright of the image. But I guess there is little originality in the image as Lymantria would say. However, I couldn't be sure. So, I felt that it was safer to ask an Admin for advice. Thank You for your reply, --Leoboudv (talk) 01:23, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Jacopo Werther (talk) 17:14, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Can you do a Mass DR on Ye's recent image contributions and maybe ban him for 3-5 days? He uploads images indiscriminately from other websites even though according to his talkpage--before he cleaned it of messages--he was warned that if he uploaded any further copy vios he could be banned indefinitely. He's clearly ignoring the warnings. Many of his recent images uploaded on February 19 should actually just be speedy deleted...in this or this case since Commons could get sued by the real copyright owner. I have to go now unfortunately. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 04:10, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I blocked Ye a week and left a notice on the talk page. I deleted most of the images. I kept the old ones for now. They could be own work but some of them may be scanned from somewhere. But they are probably not a speedy deletion. You are welcome to have a look if you have some time. I also have to go. Later... Oh and thank you for the notice :-) Hope you are doing well over there :-D --MGA73 (talk) 08:29, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Flickr bot

Its February 24 today but according to this the flickr review bot stopped marking images on February 22. I see the backlog is more than 700 images. Has the flickrbot broken down? Perhaps you know who to contact. I have forgotten sadly. Maybe you can post a note somewhere for Admins to mark some images in the backlog if possible. Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 09:39, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

There have been problems with the toolserver perhaps that is why. I'll ask around. --MGA73 (talk) 09:41, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
  •  Comment: I have to go now but when the backlog is 700+ images, its time to really worry because soon it'll grow to 900-1000 images if no one marks the images. As a trusted user, I'll try to mark some images when I have more time. Thank You and Goodnight from Canada, --Leoboudv (talk) 09:46, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi MGA73, though I don't see any edit of yours in the file history of File:Mukerji Paheli.jpg and File:Rani Rekha.jpg, the uploader claims that you have (positively) reviewed both images. As I am not on OTRS, I can't check for myself whether to ticket is valid for these 2 images. --Túrelio (talk) 11:21, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

As for this image, perhaps the license should be changed to the Swedish license template as Stefan notes. This is just a suggestion; if this is not acceptable for Commons, then it may be better to launch a formal DR on it or just delete it. Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 08:40, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Photos made by my friend

Dear MGA73, Leoboudv recommended me to discuss my problem with you. I want to upload to Wikimedia photos made by my friend, who allows me to, but can't upload them himself. Should I request an e-mail confirming his agreement and paste it somewhere in the form? Some photos have already been published at his web-page (dedicated to geography), he doesn't care author rights, but doesn't state at the web-page explicitly that the photos are free. Will it be enough for these photos if he edits the web-page and says that they are published under CC-BY-SA? Thank you! (Oleksiy.golubov (talk) 18:30, 16 March 2012 (UTC))

I replied on your talk page. --MGA73 (talk) 22:28, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Flickrreview bot malfunction

The flickrreview bot is only marking 1 image per hour here for 1-2 days now. (since March 15) Its not working correctly again. Maybe Bryan or someone else can find out the problem--if you know who to contact? I don't know why this keeps happening. I'll ask trusted user materialscientist if he/she can mark some (or most) images in the flickr backlog. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 20:37, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

  •  Comment: It seems that materialscientist knows about the problem too. I don't know who the bot operator is and have no time to contact this person....but if you can, please try to mark some of the flickr images in the backlog if there are some just this Sunday. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 23:57, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
Yes it is a problem when toolserver is not working properly. I agree that we should let the bot do the job as long as we expect it to be up and running in a day or two. If it was down a week se should do it by hand. --MGA73 (talk) 09:10, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Like materailscientist, I'll mark a few (about 20-30 images) when I'm certain about the copyright today and leave it at that. Its just to try to control the backlog from reaching 300-400 images. Nothing more. I don't like marking images either but one has to control the growth of the pictures. The last I marked 9-10 hours ago it was in the 210+ images but now its 270+ images.

Bot tagging files

Hello!

Your bot (#2) has tagged two files uploaded by me (formerly NikNaks93) as uploaded by "Kos93". I assume the discrepancy is down to the similarity in the names and the shared number, but I thought I should let you know as it seems to be a small bug. I've reverted both already, but I will share the diffs if that would be helpful. NikNaks talk - gallery - wikipedia 19:15, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi and thank you for your notice. The two files have Kos93 listed as the author of one of the files listed as source and Kos93 is therefore listed as one of the authors. It is ok to remove files once it has been checked that Kos93 is not the "real" author or uploader. --MGA73 (talk) 19:23, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
Ah, I see now. Thank you for clarifying! NikNaks talk - gallery - wikipedia 20:09, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Freedom of Panorama in Indonesia

Hi Michael, Part Four "Works Protected under Copyright" Article 12 (1) l. of Law of The Republic Indonesia Number 19 Year 2002 Regarding Copyright[1], defines kinds of works protected by copyright, including: "l. translations, interpretations, adaptations, anthologies, database and other works as result of changing of form of mode." Article 12 (2). Works as reffered to item l are protected as a work of its own without prejudice to the Copyright over the original work.

In other words, works resulting from transformations itself is protected by copyright.

The term works as result of changing of form of mode is explained further in The State Gazette of the Republic of Indonesia, Explanation Note Article 12 letter l: "What is meant by works as result of changing of form of mode is the change of format, for example: statue to painting, romantic novel to drama, drama to radio play, and novel to movie."[2]

Please correct me if I am wrong, but if it shall be permissible to reproduce a statue by painting, then it shall also be permissible to to reproduce a statue by photography. Midori (talk) 00:22, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

I Would like to support Midori, as far as I know here in Indonesia it is permissible to reproduce (in this case took a picture) of the architecture, building, statue, artworks etc in photographs. In my oppinion it would be a HUGE loss for wikimedia commons if we the wikimedia commons contributors/users are too "anal" and rigid in this soo called "freedom of panorama laws" in Indonesia and any other contries. By rigidly adhering to this freedom of panorama law... huh... I'm afraid TONs of valuable photographs and data would be lost. And in Indonesia as far as I know there is no problems regarding this issue. C'mon it's about free information and data (picture) for everyone. That's what wikipedia foundation are stands for.Gunkarta (talk) 16:45, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for the comments. I think it is bect to keep the discussion in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Patung Sura dan Buaya.JPG so it is kept in one place. --MGA73 (talk) 18:05, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Is this file in public domain?

Re: File:1ec06000.jpg. Hi, the caption says that it is a postcard from the 1930s, so I think this is not currently in PD. Should it be deleted? Snowmanradio (talk) 13:21, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry has been away for some time... I nominated the file for deletion. No proof the file really is PD-old. --MGA73 (talk) 20:06, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

This DR

How long does one wait before this DR is resolved? There is no clear evidence that the image is own work and there is no metadata. The uploader was notified by E-mail 2 weeks ago and has not made any comment. I doubt that he/she will if it is not truly own work but also because it appears the account has been orphaned at wikipedia since September 2010. The uploader didn't even originally give a license to this image--someone else did--and it was an incorrect one. Given the low resolution, it doesn't seem to be own work to me by the uploader...and I think it may be time to consider closing this DR as a delete if you carefully consider all the evidence given in the DR. Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 08:55, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I closed the DR now. --MGA73 (talk) 20:18, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
  •  Comment: Thank you for acting. I waited 2 weeks per good faith but I doubted the uploader would respond since he/she likely never took the image in the first place. When the uploader doesn't add a license, it says to me that this uploader doesn't know much about copyright sadly. With kind Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 00:06, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
