Hi, could you upload this picture but in white version, please? Thank you. --Gap5200 (talk) 16:31, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Not sure what you want. The only version I had is the current one. That was supplied by the International Paralympic Committee as the previous versions were slightly incorrect in colour. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 23:01, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

This image was kept per the deletion discussion. I thought the closing admin would have given a good review at the same time. Ww2censor (talk) 22:35, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

C'ést la vie... Ronhjones ^(Talk) 22:44, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Oui, c'est vrai. So I'm wondering why did you tag it as incompatibly licensed? Ww2censor (talk) 09:24, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

It was in Category:Picasa Web Albums files needing human review for attention. Since the image is not on Picasa, the only option that seemed to fit was No.6. Maybe someone should have sorted out the template on 20 August 2016...? Ronhjones ^(Talk) 00:49, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Violación de derechos de autor

Hola Ronhjones, Antes de nada, quisiera agradecerte todo el tiempo que te has tomado en comprobar las subidas que he ido haciendo en Wikipedia. Me dices, en el mensaje que me has dejado que he violado repetidas veces los derechos de autor. Te envío este mensaje para tratar de explicarte. La mayor parte de las imagenes que he subido me las han facilitado familiares de las personas que están en Wikipedia, otras un amigo fotográfico que trabaja en un archivo fotográfico privado y algunas son mías. Hay algún caso que las imagenes que me han encviado estaban también en la red, pero sinceramente no lo comprobé. Puede enviarte los email de cada una de ellos, para que veas que no te trato de engañar. Disculpa por no dirigirme a ti en inglés, pero no es una lengua que domine fluidamente. Me tienes a tu disposición para darte cualquier tipo de explicación sobre casos concretos. Hoy he tratado de ir contestando a todos los mensajes que me ha dejado Ellin Beltz. Muchas gracias por tu comprensión. Un saludo muy cordial, Hard.---159.237.12.32 09:44, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

VoA

Hi,

I refer to you a question of a user who contacted me about five of his uploads that were deleted yesterday, apparently in connection with this deletion request. The reason the user contacted me is because I had previously replied to a question about this topic on the French-language help desk and on his talk page. In 2014, on the basis of the situation as it was at that time, I had told him that post-2013 material of Voice of America was not uploaded to Commons. In 2016, following the change in the situation, the clarification by VoA, the decision in Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2016-08#Original materials of VOA and consequently the removal of the post-2013 restriction in the VoA template, I notified the user on his talk page about this change and that the material can now be uploaded to Commons. Following the deletion yesterday, the user is understandably puzzled.

I looked at the deletion request and the rationale for the nomination seems strange:

The nomination rationale for deletion is essentially that the nominator couldn't access to the old terms of use page of VoA. Another user in the discussion judiciously pointed out that this was not a reason for deletion. Even if the old ToU page had simply been removed, the situation had already been documented and reviewed by many Commons administrators. Besides, the present ToU pages state that the VoA material is in the public domain [1]. The nomination's argument that the old page was removed and replaced is not a reason for deletion, it is the opposite.
Of the five deletions, four are re-deletions of files that had been undeleted last month (see list). The other file was a new upload after the clarification.
The nomination did not explain if and why the nominator thinks that the situation of those five files is different from the hundred of files that were undeleted or recently uploaded.
Although the uploader did not mention it in his question, I note that he was not notified of the deletion request. If he had been notified, he could have asked for explanations directly in the deletion discussion.

Could you please reply directly to the uploader on his talk page in the section User talk:Tan Khaerr#Mise à jour au sujet de VOA to tell him more details about why the files were deleted? Thanks in advance. -- Asclepias (talk) 16:12, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

@Asclepias: My French is way too rusty to join in there. Deletions are done by a consensus of editors. I examined the statements there, and the overall view was that Pre-June 2013 were OK, and post was not. I checked the supplied link to VOA ToC (http://www.insidevoa.com/a/1686739.html?nocache=1), and as stated there were none shown. Also Jim stated that "The last time I was able to look at the VOA Terms of Use, they did not allow free use". With no opposition to keep, the files were deleted. I would suggest the author go for a deletion review. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 21:54, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

For your information: in the mean time the situation has been resolved with VoA and all deleted post June 2013 materials have been undeleted since. See Commons:Undeletion_requests/Archive/2016-08#Original_materials_of_VOA. Jcb (talk) 22:15, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Blakey maps

Hello! In 2015 you started a DR concerning several maps by Blakey. Do you remember why the rest of the files in Category:Maps by Ron Blakey weren't part of that DR? Most of them are DWs of deleted files. I ask because someone gave me a link to new files by Blakey and it would be better to know why some files were kept and some not before starting a new DR. Regards, NNW 15:13, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Because it only relates to a list of images on one OTRS ticket (I didn't do the original permission), where our standard permission template was not used. Later they wrote in complaining about the re-use, when it was properly fully explained that our license allows commercial, he refused to agree to the license, so I had to go for deletion. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 22:00, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Of the files in the category (Category:Maps by Ron Blakey) - File:Eastern North American Paleogeograpy Middle Devonian.png has a valid ticket, where the proper template has been used, showing commercial use allowed. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 22:04, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

I think this file and file:Azhdarchid map.png are the only ones that can be kept. Thanks for the explanation. NNW 08:33, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

File:Juniperus occidentalis australis Tahoe1.jpg

Hi Ron - thanks for the email query; Juniperus grandis is a synonym of Juniperus occidentalis subsp. australis. There is a useful summary of the argumemnts over which name is more appropriate here, supporting use of Juniperus occidentalis subsp. australis, with which I fully agree. Hope this helps! - MPF (talk) 00:43, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll get back to the original poster with the info. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 23:38, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Keri the Suicide Girl in a see-through nightie.jpg

Sorry to belabour this, but I'm still concerned about this deletion. You say ticket:2016120610022903 confirms that this is not an official SuicideGirls stream, however [2] shows a lot of OTRS-ed SuicideGirls images from the same flickr stream under ticket:2008110310027958. I'm willing to accept the model requesting her photo be taken down, but doing so on copyright grounds is fishy. @Dharmadhyaksha: , @Storkk: , @Swank1992: . -mattbuck (Talk) 19:34, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

@Mattbuck: I can only state her case. She properly confirmed identity, said the images were only on Suicide Girls web site (which is a pay to view). The Flickr account is bogus, and no images were ever given away. Her image was removed after she complained to Flickr. That was the only image she was interested in, so I assume Flickr left the rest up, until someone else complains. We can only take what she says at face value. Also this does not say it's an official site, it just describes the company. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 00:25, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

What does ticket:2008110310027958 claim about the flickr stream? -mattbuck (Talk) 07:28, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Well you didn't bring that up before. I can only explain what she said - maybe she was misled by them, and why did Flickr remove the image? Ronhjones ^(Talk) 20:22, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

That link was in the initial comment here, and also I mentioned at the DR that many SG images are listed with OTRS. I have no problem with deletion as a courtesy, just not as a copyright matter. -mattbuck (Talk) 20:48, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

That's what she claimed, I'm sure she had her reasons. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 22:32, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

You speedied this file as fair use after less than 1 hour after transferring to Commons, but it is clearly {{PD-textlogo}}. Could you please explain your administrative action? --Amitie 10g (talk) 01:46, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

The Uploader uploaded with cc-by-sa-4.0, then 4 minutes later removed that and set the license to "Fair Use", he did not specify a textlogo. Template:Fair use defaults to speedy delete, as fair use is not allowed. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 01:57, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Then, you should ask yourself if the logo is bellow or above the TOO in Brazil; if actually bellow the TOO, Fair use tag is irrelevant. --Amitie 10g (talk) 02:12, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

The user uploaded with a free license, he obviously changed his mind when he changed it to fair use. We always allow users 7 days to change their mind about uploads. If he wants it back changed again to textlogo, he has on;y to ask. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 02:17, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

No, the Threshold of originality is determined by the legislation of the source country, not the user's mind. As the logo is clearly bellow the COM:TOO, any other licensing is just invalid. --Amitie 10g (talk) 15:32, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

Now I was always under the impression that PD started 1st Jan following the full 70 years post death - not sure where I got that from (maybe because I'm in the UK, I knew that already? - I always add 71 to come up with the PD date..., but I could be wrong.) - so that would agree with the comment. Deletion was requested and there is no reason to decline, even if it is for two months, undeletion is just a couple of mouse clicks for me. Technically we are incorrect in leaving them there with a PD notice. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 12:55, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

Why did you delete

this image without any discussion and who has marked it as a possible copyrightviolation? Where is the deletion request??? This image was deleted inbetween one hour. I cannot see it now, but this is a scan of an image which is older than 100 years, the creator itself is unknown. This image is part of an Wikiversity project and the uploader is one of my students. Especially new contributers have the right to be informed, why something of their contributions is going to be deleted. Please show me the discussion and please, be nice to newbies! I don´t think that it is necessary to demonstrate the different shades of importance in this project. One hour deletion time is an affront, nothing else. Thanks. --Hubertl 15:34, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

@Hubertl: Copyright issues do not normally get a discussion. The copyright warning was posted correctly on User talk:Valentina Perillo. We do not wait 7 days before deleting such issues. Here is the final text from the page

{{Copyvio|external source, no license, no permission.}}

{{Remove this line and insert a license instead|year=2016|month=12|day=17}}

[[Category:Theater]]

There are two things wrong with the page

There is no license - that is not allowed. Every image must have a suitable license, it's a fundamental rule here.
If you go to the source it says "This item is available to be shared and re-used under the terms of the IWM Non Commercial Licence" - we do not allow non-commercial usage, and since it has the IWM logos all over it, it would silly to ignore that - I don't know how much image processing has been done by the IWM, the colour scales at the top would suggest they have been adjusting it, and UK TOO is very low (I live here!), so their claim to copyright can be valid. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 16:20, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you so much: Again, the newbie is wrong, we are right. I and the Foundation gives a shit about permissions of images, which do not have any copyrights left. A poster, which is older than 100 years is free. But it´s clear, you you have studied law and additionally, you are administrator.

user:مصعب

Hi Ronhjones, I just checked the files of user:مصعب. All these photos where taken during an Education Program Event that I participated in. We even gave each of the students a Wikipedia Coffee Mug each. Nothing wrong with phots or the license :) . Regarding queen Rania Photos I tried calling the university to check the validity of the license, it seems I need to wait till after the weekend (Friday and Saturday in Jordan). For the time being, I closed the current deletion request.

Mosab (مصعب) is a very active admin on Arabic Wikipedia, we even had an article about him on the wikimedia blog. So I guess we need to slow down about the indefinite block. It looks like a simple misunderstanding, and communication slip from his side. Best regards. --Tarawneh (talk) 08:28, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

@Tarawneh: It not the first block for copyright issues otherwise I would have set a time. Not to mention the three images of Queen Rania, were all marked as "Own Work", which they clearly wasn't. I don't see that as a simple error. Also you may want to note that I found at least 2 more images in the December upload on other web sites earlier than upload, hence the mass request (which includes them). I suppose I will have to go through them one by one to tag out the copyright violations. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 20:17, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Pierre Bonte

Bonjour,

Vous avez demandé la suppression du portrait de Pierre Bonte, pour violation de copyright. Il s'agit de ma propre création. Il suffit de regarder le fichier EXIF associé à l'image. Mon nom figure dedans. En revanche, c'est le site Yabiladi.com qui l'a utilisée sans mon autorisation.... Merci Saadtazi — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saadtazi (talk • contribs) 13:36, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Web image is dated 05 November 2013 21:35:16 and has a copyright watermark. Anyone can change EXIF data. With an earlier web image, you will have to use COM:CONSENT to get the image permission agreed. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 23:05, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

User:Hishamhmk

Hi Ronjones. You previously posted a note at User talk:Hishamhmk#Copyright violations advising Hishamhmk to be careful about the files they upload. I'm not sure whether the uploader didn't understand your message or simply decided to ignore it, but they just uploaded File:Amman International Stadium.jpg which seems to be another copyvio. They have also uploaded File:Yarmouk Uni Logo.png and File:Jordanian football league.png as "own work", but the files actually seem to be COM:FU. I've tagged the Getty photo as a copyvio. I was going to tag the logos as {{Logo}}, but figured I'd ask you here about them first. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:21, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: The "endofcopyvios" notice is has multi-language links, so we can assume that they chose to ignore it. Block applied and other images tagged. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 15:01, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Uploading a picture

hello, it seems that whenever i upload a picture it's somehow violating the copyright laws/rules. This is become quite inconvenient as there are no clear instructions as to how to upload a picture properly. I always pick a picture that has is on google and is clearly for public use yet it gets removed. Please help and explain what to do since I'm on my final warning. Thanks. AbdulRahman1997 (talk) 22:49, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

@AbdulRahman1997: Images on google are "free to view", but not "free to use". You have to find an image that says "Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License." and/or shows the cc-by-sa logo as seen on https://creativecommons.org/choose/results-one?license_code=by-sa&jurisdiction=&version=4.0&lang=en. If you use Google Images then click "Tools" under the search box, then under "Usage Rights" select "Labelled for reuse with modification", you will find most of the images normally seen will vanish - probably >99% of images normally seen will not list under these conditions. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 22:58, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

@Ronhjones: Well thank you for informing me about that, i really appreciate it. But, then, how am i supposed to even get a picture when nothing that i want exists on google after doing that "Labelled for reuse with modification" ? I mean I honestly wonder how on earth do the other users manage to find pictures to be honest lol. This is a lot more complicated than i expected. Thanks again though! AbdulRahman1997 (talk) 07:02, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

@AbdulRahman1997: Yup. If there is a usable picture on Google Images, chances are someone else would have found it first! Same with Flickr - suspect all the suitable images there are already here, and panoramio - we have a bot looking for free images automatically. The majority of new images that stay tend to be (useful) photographs actually taken by the user. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 20:18, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

Kalu Pande

Mr. Ronhjones, Kalu Pande.jpg was published under Public Domain since all copyright has expired of the 18th Century painting. So I think no permission is required. What do you say? Best Wishes Thapa Kazi999 (talk) 04:37, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

Cher Ronhjones

Je me permets de vous contacter dans la mesure où vous avez supprimé le logo OCP que j'ai mis en ligne la semaine dernière pour cause de violation des droits d'auteur en citant le fait qu'un logo était déjà disponible sur Wikipedia. En effet, j'ai bien vu que l'image suivante était déjà sur la plateforme, (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:Ocp.jpg) cependant, je n'arrive pas à l'intégrer dans l'infobox pour la page anglaise OCP Group - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCP_Group.

File:RTP Internacional.png

Hi Ronjones. You deleted File:RTP Internacional.png as a non-free logo, but it has be re-uploaded by the same editor. They left a message at File talk:RTP Internacional.png, but it's not in English so I don't know what it says. The same editor has made a number of other posts on talk pages of files they have uploaded (re-uploaded?), but these are also not in English so I'm not sure what they say. Anyway, I'm wondering it you wouldn't mind taking a look at all of these files when you get a chance. Thanks in advance. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:38, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: Just deleted it as re-uploaded without deletion review - talk page said "This image is that of a logo created and used by the company Rádio e Televisão de Portugal, S.A., the public television of Portugal. This logo is available in the section of the RTP site, in rtp.pt, referring to the part of the graphic identities of the radios and the channels. In conclusion, this image is not a creation of its own, as already mentioned, in the description of it, and is given freely to anyone who wants to use it to illustrate the identity of the channel in question." - Thanks to Google Translate. http://www.rtp.pt/ says at the bottom of the page "C RTP, Rádio e Televisão de Portugal 2017" - no sign of any PD or CC license.

Al-Shorta SC logo

@Ronhjones: Hi Ron. I have been notified that on Wikipedia:Al-Shorta SC, you have replaced Wikipedia:File:Al-Shorta Sports Club (Iraq) Crest.png (a non-free logo) with File:Al Shorta Sports Club Logo.png (a logo in the public domain) and have nominated the non-free logo for deletion. The truth is, since uploading the logo to Commons as a public domain logo, I have come to realise that this logo should not actually be in the public domain. I thought that 50 years had passed since its publication (which would make it a free logo) but in fact only a few years have passed so it should be a non-free logo. That's why I uploaded it onto Wikipedia as a non-free logo, but I didn't know how to delete the Commons logo. So can I ask you to put the non-free logo back onto the Al-Shorta SC page and instead nominate the Commons file for deletion? Thanks! Hashim-afc (talk) 20:45, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

@Mylkomeda: The file on en-wiki is a copyright image used under the US Fair-Use policy as it was first published by Johns Hopkins University. The commons image was deleted, as commons only hosts free images. Non-free images (when they are allowed - all wikis are different) have to uploaded to the local wiki.

Carmine Esposito Images

Hi Ronh, could you tell me why you deleted all the images of the article Carmine Esposito? I personally talked with Carmine Esposito who is the owner of this images and awards and he gave me his approval to use it. Could you help me tell me how can I share these images in this Biography when the images are property of the person who is the biography about.

In the case of the awards, how can I put these on the biography if he won these but he by himself shared it on his social profiles. Which is the Creative Commons Licence that I have to use these images. I used a Licence where I said that these images are property of Carmine Esposito but isn't was enought and I don´t unerstand.

Thanks for all your help. I'll wait for your answer. Template:01:01, 21 April 2017

Because you uploaded them before and they were copyright violations then. So they still are. If an image is already on the internet then it's far harder to get it uploaded here, as it will be immediately be deleted as a copyright violation. There is no way here of proving identities. You will have to sort out the permission with the OTRS team - see COM:CONSENT, when the team approve the permission then they will undelete the images. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 01:10, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Photo deletion: Oliver Harrison.jpg. The licence agreement for photo sent on 11 Feb 2017 (revisited)

Hi Ronh, I was just wondering, it’s been over two months and I haven’t heard anything about the photo - mentioned above - being restored. A fully signed Wikipedia licence was signed and sent to ‘permision-commons@wikimedia.org ‘ on the 11th Feb by the photographer Richard Townshend. I just wondered if it had got lost in the system or perhaps I need to contact somebody else? Many thanks for your time.Underground Art (talk) 17:09, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

@Underground Art: Well that's very odd. It travelled all around OTRS... It went straight into Queue "Probably-Spam", they get checked and it got manually moved to Queue "permissions::permissions-en", I've now moved it into Queue "permissions::permissions-commons" (where it should have dropped into). Because of that wacky treatment, it did not issue the auto-answer message. I've no idea why the system called it spam, It looks like the permission image was pasted into the e-mail body, rather than made it as a proper attachment - that would be my guess of what has happened, the large HTML section has triggered a spam filter, whereas a small HTML message with a separate attachment would not.

Como fazer upload de imagens de forma correta para não ser excluída e violar a licença.

Faço parte da equipe de uma artista plástica e fotógrafa que você excluiu recentemente a foto dela e de suas obras, devido a licença. Sou nova no wikipédia e estou tendo muita dificuldade para entender todas as regras e adequar, para que esse meu primeiro artigo(de muitos que irei colaborar) que utilizei as fotos que foram excluídas, não seja excluído também. As fotos são de autoria da própria artista, foram tiradas por sua equipe e tem total liberdade de ser usada, é foto de trabalho que inclusive saiu em várias matérias, sempre com autorização. Como faço para resolver isso? Preciso restaurar essas fotos, e adequar o que for necessário para não serem excluídas novamente. Aguardo resposta, agradeço a sua ajuda.

Copyright violations

May I know what copyright violation did I do. The Lulu mall dawn.jpg which was deleted now & the Lulu landscape.jpg which was deleted before that(Both are the same image uploaded twice when one was deleted) is the photo which I took with my N8 mobile phone. I had uploaded the same image long back from a different account, for which I forgot the credentials, due to which I had to create a new account. I don't know how it becomes a copyright violation when I upload a photo which I took. And regarding the Kochi collage.jpg, I wanted you to delete that image. I created that collage, not the pictures in it, but it was not being updated in the wiki page, coz a different pic of the same name was already in the Wikipedia site. So I tried to reupload the collage using a different name, but it said the same image already existed. So I had to update my uploaded Kochi collage.jpg with some random image from Google & then had to upload my original image under a new name. So I'm fine with deleting Kochi collage.jpg, coz that's not my creation. But the Lulu landscape.jpg/Lulu mall dawn.jpg was the photo which I took & I think as a user Wikipedia gives you the right to upload it. The irony is that the image for Lulu mall which is being floating around is some random image with watermarks & texts written over it. You've kept that image, but you want to delete an original image. Strange. I want to upload the image again & please let me know what I must do which doesn't make it a copyright violation.

== Former Grognard Extraordinaire back from sabbatical in a new avatar. == Your first upload was at 13:44, 14 May 2017. of an image that has been on the internet since 19 October 2015 08:17:28 (http://www.fwdlife.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/lulu.png at http://www.fwdlife.in/shoppers-stop-at-kochi). Since that is much earlier, we take that as the source of the image. Your image is exactly the same, except you have cropped out some of the small watermark at the bottom (but when blown up in PhotoShop - there is still a small piece of it). If the image is truly yours you will have to talk to the permissions team using the template at COM:CONSENT. But they will need good evidence of authorship. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 18:58, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

I also (by luck) found it uploaded and deleted at https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=File%3ALulu+mall.jpg - but still later than the web page. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 19:04, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Buddy, FWDLife is a lifestyle magazine based in Kochi. They take a lot of images from social media while writing articles on web. I had posted this image as comment on Facebook on Kochi related pages a lot earlier than that, I guess mid 2015. They might have taken it from there. In fact this was actually a slightly bigger image there were 2 workers walking along the road at the bottom, so I cropped it out. I don't remember whether I put the original image or the cropped one on FB, that time. And I don't know what watermark you are talking about. I didn't put any kind of watermark on my image. So I'd appreciate if you could tell me what I should do to upload my own taken image. Shady59 (talk) 21:35, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

== Former Grognard Extraordinaire back from sabbatical in a new avatar. == Anyone who uploads images before uploading at Wikimedia always has problems. I always advise to upload here first. To get that image up now will be more difficult. As for the watermark - look bottom middle of image on http://www.fwdlife.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/lulu.png - faint white numbers "21" "23 of 98" - not part of the real image, therefore a watermark. As I said earlier the only route is COM:CONSENT, when they are happy it's your image they will undelete it. The web image is not from Facebook - Facebook images always have an "FB" code number in the EXIF data of the image. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 21:53, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi Ronhjones, I am a bored bot (this is kind of a computer program) that is watching the recent changes and tapping buttons like I did now.

Curious about the reason? Possibly not but I will tell you anyway:

You edited User:Ronhjones/common.js. Glad to see you coding in javascript! Have you ever considered becoming a MediaWiki hacker?
Though, that change appears to introduce 3 new jshint issues — the page's status is now having ERRORS. Note that invalid or ambiguous code often has unwanted side effects like breaking other tools for you. If you cannot find out how to fix it, I suggest blanking the page for now.
To help you understanding where the issues are, I have aggregated a report here and now. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask users experienced in javascript writing for help. But do not ask the bot's operators (chronically overwrought) unless you suspect an error of mine.

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

File:HaginsVenezia.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation

Hi Ronhjones. Why do you think that this file is a violation of copyright? I'm the author of the photo, so I uploaded it I don't understand your actions. Francesco Soliani — Preceding unsigned comment added by FrancescoSoliani (talk • contribs) 07:56, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

@FrancescoSoliani: You cannot prove who you are in commons - people can create any username they like. So we rely on users uploading their images to commons first. If we find a new uploaded image already on the internet then we have to assume it was copied from that page(s). In this case the photo is already on the internet, so (to us) it becomes a copyright violation. If the photo is yours, then you will have to go to COM:CONSENT to verify your identity and copyright ownership of the image - they will undelete the image when they have verified your data, which will take about 60 days (large backlog). Sorry for any inconvenience - but we get a huge number of illegally uploaded images every day - we must be sure that the uploader can donate the copyright. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 14:31, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

@Ronhjones: Thanks. I've followed your advide and used the link you sent to me. What I don't understand is that I've uploaded some photos, but I received only this copyright violation, and in no other. Obviously I am the owner of all the photos.

Hello again. You handled a big deletion request for me a few weeks back for sound clips. I have now re-uploaded the sound clips at the correct length but the copyright holder has realized that they do not actually hold copyright on about 150 of them, so i have made another mass deletion request here.

File: ATRILogo.png

Hi Ron- I apologize for uploading incorrectly, as this is my first attempt at creating a new article with an image. I reached out to the org and got permission to use the logo, so I'm looking into how to re-upload with evidence of said permission. I have the email saying "yes, go ahead, here's the image," but after reading the copyright page, I think I may need to reach out with the formal template. Do you have any advice on this? Thanks very much. JPH001 (talk) 18:17, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

@JPH001: Yes, you are correct. There is quite a choice for this one.

Get the copyright holder to send in the form at COM:CONSENT, to release it under a suitable license (e.g. CC-BY-SA-4.0) - backog on permissions is about 56 days, they will undeleted when permission has been validated.
We could try undeltion and changing the license to {{PD-textlogo}} - it is a bit subjective, as it's then down to the editors whether it's has enough originality or not (COM:TOO), and that varies with country. There is a large graduation of colour in the "blue flash", is that eough for copyright - possibly not in USA (possiby yes where I live, but it is a US logo)
Lastly, if this is only for en-wiki use, then go for the easy option and upload at en-wiki as a fair-use item - it's a logo, and it's size is OK with fair-use. Look at en:Template:Non-free logo and check the "What links here" to see pleanty of examples there. The only criteria that can be an issue, is that the image has to be in use in an article - draft/sandbox articles are not included - for those you have to wait until it is a full article before uploading.

If you want to try No.2 then let me know, if you go down No.3 and need help then let me know on en-wiki. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 18:31, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

@Ronhjones: Thanks for this, Ron! I double-checked with the organization and they'd like it up on the Commons to be shared, so they sent a form in as you outlined in option 1. The Wiki volunteer asked for the image to be reuploaded for approval, so if you see the file again, it's at their request, not trying to skirt the process. Thanks for taking the time to walk me through this. It's very much appreciated. JPH001 (talk) 17:33, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

@Michalovski: You had it as "Own work" - which for an old photo it is not. You do not own the copyright, so cannot claim it. The photographer owns the copyright, unless there is a written formal transfer of copyright - so the person who needs to upload it is your father's friend - if not alive then his descendants. Copyright lasts until 70 years after the copyright holder's death. Or the copyright holder can go to COM:CONSENT to donate the copyright. Nothing else will work.

About my "last warning" on the pictures

Hello, I would like to say that first, thanks for leaving me a message, I do support speaking before action. Secondly, The only pictures I have uplodaded have a 4.0 copyright license, which state that you can do virtually anything you'd like with the pictures, except from modifying, stealing credits etc. ( You should know a hell of a lot more than me on that topic, part of the reason why they got deleted ) So, I'm uploading those images again but in a few days and with the correct licensing and proof website, I got hand-to-hand permission by the author/person in the pictures (which was really hard to find) in order to use them.

Please if you have anything to tell me, feel free to leave it on my discussion site/here.

--Fernandosmither (talk) 00:38, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

@Fernandosmither: You are not allowed to upload again - you must go to Commons:Undeletion requests and request undeletion - re-uploads are quickly deleted, OR if the image is not yours, then you have to go to COM:CONSENT to donate the copyright and when the OTRS team is satisfied then they will undelete the image.

Geekstreet is asking to be unblocked on his talk page. I think there's a good possibility he's innocent as he says.

Done. Added "OTRS pending" to stop others tagging it until you tidy it up. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 01:11, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Tristan Prettyman 1.jpg

You tagged this image for deletion on the Tristan Prettyman Wikipedia page, but I took this picture myself, as I did another one on the page, and it was uploaded via the wiki media web site with commons permissions 4.0, and it is also posted here with proper permission and licenses noted: http://tristanprettyman.com/imagepermissions

Can you please undelete the photo? It is frustrating it and others on the page keep getting taken down when I took them myself. L0gick (talk) 05:08, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

@L0gick: OK, I've edited the page to link to the permissions statement. I had to change the license here to match the one on the web page. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 21:07, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

File:Lexical Distance Among Languages of Europe 2015.png

Hi! I cannot see the previous version and why it should be a copyvio. When you look at the blog post, you will see that the creator of this map was asked to upload it to Commons. And this should be no problem at all as per https://alternativetransport.wordpress.com/about/: “Any content or graphics taken from other sources will be sourced and credited. You may share and adapt the original content of this blog under the following license (CC BY-SA 3.0 AT), you must give appropriate credit. Please include “Stephan Steinbach, www.alternativetransport.wordpress.com” as credit. If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original.” Or did I miss something? Otherwise, please restore the image. Thanks, —DerHexer (Talk) 11:38, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

@DerHexer: You need to look at the history - the file was re-created out of process, after being deleted (and did not go through a proper undelete request) - the original was at File:Lexical distance among the languages of europe.png Ronhjones ^(Talk) 21:33, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Regardless of being a re-upload (whose original file could have linked in your deletion summary for those who don't have an admin account, btw.), what do you think about my explanation of the licensing? From what I can see, the original deletion was incorrect in total, thus there should be no need for an undelete request for obvious mistakes. Or do I see this wrong? Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 14:30, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

@DerHexer: Since two admins had decided that the first upload was bad, I didn't go into too much depth. I did note that the blog fails to mention "Based on work by Prof. Konstantin Tishchenko 1980 to 2000" (as stated on the image page), so my view is that more permission is needed and hence the first deletion was probably correct. I was also suspicious that two different accounts had been used to upload the two versions, which did possibly seem like abuse of accounts - but with only one file, it's not a definite proof. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 23:36, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

So, I am on holiday right now and not logged in but I will rewrite this if necessary. When the file was first uploaded it was uploaded by an account that uploaded a bunch of images and claimed copyright for all of them. When I found the image on commons I corrected the authorship and added a bit of info but was the opinion it was then fine since I had already put a CCBY-SA 3.0 on all my original content of the blog. When the first upload was deleted it was deleted together with all the other images that the account had uploaded. I thought the deletion was unnecessary but I did not want to pu any effort into sorting things out. Now I have uploaded the image and I figure it should stay uploaded. To Prof Tishchenko, I have tried contacting the researcher who is I his 80s? (90s ? On holiday, I am not going to look that up) without any success, but I am the opinion and will argue that no permission is required to publish a graphic that is based on his research. What if a researcher puts the effort into testing the DNA of ~80 monkeys/primates and publishes a list of how far or close their DNA are to each other, and what if I take that list and research population estimates for all those species and draw a similar graphic to the lexical distance graphic. Would I need the permission of the original researcher that determined the DNA- distance to be allowed to publish my graphic? No.

Thus, the image should be undeleted. -AlternativeTransport — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 5.81.142.62 (talk) 17:48, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Since this was not the first deletion, it should go to Commons:Undeletion requests, so that all previous interetsed parties can contribute, and there is a full consensus on the Prof Tishchenko question, as to whether his permission is required. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 19:18, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

If you know the proper way to sort this out, I ask you to please request an undeletion. -AT — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 5.81.142.62 (talk) 16:03, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

PD-1978/US

Hi,

I have a question pertaining to this template, which states that works published in the United States between 1978 and March 1, 1989 without a copyright notice and were never registered with the copyright office are in the public domain.

This template pertains to all photographs that were first published in the US without copyright notices between 1978 and 1989, including those by foreign photographers (assuming the same photographs weren't ever published in their home country), right?

That does seem to be the gist of this but I wanted somebody more experienced with copyright issues on Commons to confirm.

I guess what I'm trying to ask is which takes precedence, the country in which the work was first published, or the country in which it originated?

Thanks, --Katangais (talk) 12:17, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

@Katangais: My view is where it was first published. So you have to ensure that it was the US first. Also be careful with the date - 1st March 1989 is the cut off, after that we are in standard Berne Convention copyright terms. Note if created before 1978 and published later - it gets even more tricky - en:Public_domain#Unpublished_works. If in doubt, you can always post questions at Commons:Village_pump/Copyright.

@Ronhjones: Thank you for explaining. Under "donate" you mean donate to Wikipedia, am I right? As the person donated it to me, but of course that time I did not think about asking for some "certificate" about it.

By donate - we mean the copyright. All content here is re-useable by anyone, so we have to have the correct copyright license for the image. By default that's always "All Rights Reserved" as soon as the "work" is created. We have to get the copyright holder to change that to at least "CC-BY-SA-4.0" - only the copyright holder can do this.

Code issues in User:Ronhjones/common.js

Hi Ronhjones, I am a bored bot (this is kind of a computer program) that is watching the recent changes and tapping buttons like I did now.

Curious about the reason? Possibly not but I will tell you anyway:

You edited User:Ronhjones/common.js. Glad to see you coding in javascript! Have you ever considered becoming a MediaWiki hacker?
Though, that change appears to introduce 1 new jshint issue — the page's status is now having warnings. Note that invalid or ambiguous code often has unwanted side effects like breaking other tools for you. If you cannot find out how to fix it, I suggest blanking the page for now.
To help you understanding where the issues are, I have aggregated a report here and now. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask users experienced in javascript writing for help. But do not ask the bot's operators (chronically overwrought) unless you suspect an error of mine. If you prefer not getting spammed by me, you can opt-out reports by adding {{ValidationOptOut|type=all}} to your user page or cmb-opt-out anywhere on your your global user page on Meta. Good luck at Wikimedia Commons and happy hacking!

Phaistos glyphs

Hi -- regarding the Phaistos images, yes, they are mirrored, this is done on purpose because the original "text" runs right-to-left, and the images are intended for "citing" the text in a left-to-right environment. It is perfectly possible that the un-mirrored images may also be desired in certain contexts, but then the existing images shouldn't be overwritten, they should be uploaded as variants, under separate filenames. --Dbachmann (talk) 07:37, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

File:Coup Mongolia 28.12.1911 in German newspaper.jpg,

@Obstsorte: We do not re-upload, especially under a different name - it looks like a devious way of getting the image up - all uploads are checked against all deleted images. The correct procedure is to go to Commons:Undeletion requests and ask for the original upload (File:Putsch Hutuktu 28.12.1911. Die Presse. Ostmärkische Tageszeitung vom 31. Dezember 1911.jpg) to be undeleted - then those admins on undeletion requests can see the original reason for deletion and see if those issues have been properly addressed. They may well want to know the writer's name, so that the standard copyright term of 70 years post writer's death can be applied. If unknown they may well decide for 130 years (although that figure is still a proposal, I think) to ensure that the copyright has properly expired. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 17:04, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Ronhjones!

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

@Codename Lisa: Yes, admin here as well... Try http://www.ronjones.org.uk/misc/Filetopia.png - I just saved a screenshot - Firefox with menus cropped out. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 15:44, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Maybe your browser is looking at a cached page? Ronhjones ^(Talk) 15:45, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. I am seeing the notice now. Perhaps the author had temporarily (accidentally?) removed it. The cache isn't a factor because I am on another computer at the moment. And on the other computer, it was the first time I visited Filetopia.

It is all okay now.
