Congratulations, Dear Reviewer

If you use the helper-the scripts, you will find the links next to the search box (vector) or as single tabs (monobook). They are named license+ and license-

Hi Stemoc, thanks for your application to be an image reviewer. The application has been removed as successful, and you've been added to the list of reviewers. You can review all kind of image licenses on Commons. Please see Commons:License review and Commons:Flickr files if you haven't done so already. We also have a guide how to detect copyright violations. Backlogs include Flickr review, Picasa review, Panoramio review, and files from other sources. You can use one of the following scripts by adding one of the lines to your common.js:

importScript('User:ZooFari/licensereviewer.js'); // stable script for reviewing images from any kind of source OR

importScript('User:Rillke/LicenseReview.js'); // contains also user notification when review fails, auto blacklist-check and auto-thank you message for Flickr-reviews.

You can also add {{User reviewer}} or {{User trusted}} to your user page if you wish. Thank you for your contributions on Commons! User:Armbrust (Local talk - en.Wikipedia talk) 05:25, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

File:Lisa Westerhof.jpg et al

Hi, I saw your requests for speedy deletion of those files. However. The Files in flickr explicitly stated that the files are donated by the dutch sailing union. Please advise and helpNED33 (talk) 12:03, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

they were, but those rights aren't actually owned by them, oceanimages owns the rights and unless you can get their permission (via OTRS), it would be seen as copyright violation (as the flickr site you uploaded them from did not release those images under a free licences either)...--Stemoc (talk) 12:15, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Okay. I will go after oceaneimages. If you can slowdown the deletion process a bit:-) I will report back to you on the status.NED33 (talk) 12:46, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Dear Stemoc,

If you can confirm the license on these 3 images by JurgenNl, please consider marking them as I cannot read Dutch.

  • I don't speak Dutch either, but made good use of google translate lol..those images were released "royalty-free" and uploaded by another image-reviewer who himself is a dutch, so need for 2nd guessing and a double check from the photographer's official site clarified it for me...btw, those korean pics, i see you passed all of them, i was unsure because of the language barrier but i did see this image on their page, below the images (http://i1.daumcdn.net/cfs.tistory/v/0/static/admin/editor/ccl_black01.png) which is a symbol for creative commons 2.0 so maybe for future reference, it may need its own licence permission..--Stemoc (talk) 01:21, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Template:Flickr-Embassy-USA-in-New Zealand

Indeed. I created that template, similar to this. But, while the US Embassy in Paraguay allow derivative works of their photographs, the one in New Zealand don't; I noticed that after a double check. I had even uploaded a couple of photos that subsequently had to delete because of that. I should have deleted that template, too. -- SERGIO ^{(aka the Blackcat)} 12:28, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Its a shame really, there were a couple of pics (crops) that could have been used in wikipedia..maybe the US government should send a memo to their embassies world over to release all their official images on flickr on a free licence ..lol..--Stemoc (talk) 12:43, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

We might ask some American commoner to try :-) -- SERGIO ^{(aka the Blackcat)} 14:30, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Somehow i was able to get the US embassy in Canada to change their licences Fully...no luck with NZ and Australia embassies though :( --Stemoc (talk) 13:29, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Lupita Nyong'o

Hi, I noticed that it is your opinion that this image is to dark. A simple Google search, however, shows that the image you like best is overexposed. Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 15:29, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

It was photoshopped to make it look darker, the original image isn't that dark, infact it was bright and thus why i was using the one where she is in a blue dress (inside photo), so i compromised by cropping that image to "reduce" the lighting effect. She is definitely of darker skin but she was outside where she would actually not look very dark and it should remain that way..didn't want people commenting on her image on wikipedia or social media saying wikipedia made her look darker..I hope you know what blackface is? ..I saw that image a while back on Flickr but i refused to ask the uploader to release the rights cause even though its actually a very good picture, some might have found it a bit 'racist' if it was 'shopped'..the fact is Lupita isn't really that dark, this is a different angle of her inside a building and if you compare this image with yours, you can see why people might have had a problem with your image...btw, she actually uses a lot of makeup in those shots you linked..practically none in the indoor image on commons...she isn't really that dark but you know how this fashion thing goes, models of darker skin are made to look even darker...--Stemoc (talk) 23:54, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

These are all your asumptions. So you are calling me a racist? How rude you are! Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 20:41, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

That's your assumption, not mine, this is what she looks like when light is hitting her face and compare it to her IMDB headshot above (in that link)..do you see the difference? Her skintone was the main reason i did not want to change to the pic by Gordon and it was unfortunate Nehram2000 uploaded it to wikipedia...but i was forced to change to it due to all the vandalism and trolls removing the pictures from her page completely...if a pic was taken outside, its best not to "re-touch" it..Gordon already "re-touches" all his pictures..I even complained about this once...I did NOT say you were a racist, but you must understand that this is an encyclopedia and its best if we use original images to depict a person especially if its a picture of a person with a darker skintone, you do not want to be tagged as a racist for doing so even if your intentions were good..--Stemoc (talk) 22:37, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

"never review the images u upload.."

Hi Stemoc,

Could you please explain your statement "never review the images u upload.."? This seems to be a normal practice for license reviewers to mark those images as automatically reviewed, and I see no problem in it: if a reviewer knows how to review images, he can do it no matter who is the uploader, and if a reviewer marks his uploads incorrectly, his status should be simply withdrawn. Do you have any particular reason why reviewing own uploads is bad? Thanks — NickK (talk) 00:12, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

automatic reviews are done by the Picasa Review Bot 2 i believe..I remember doing one of my Picasa Reviews and was reverted by another reviewer, Leoboudev so i figured its something they frown upon..--Stemoc (talk) 00:27, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Well, I see the consequences of such review here, and about a half of my uploads are crops from original versions. I do not think that asking another reviewer doing an extra work is useful, but if there is some rule about it, I may put empty template and wait for a human reviewer — NickK (talk) 21:48, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Welcome, Dear Filemover!

---

Hi Stemoc, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

• Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
• Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
• Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

Maharishi and the Beatles 2.jpg

Hi, Stemoc. I had a complaint, that you marked in license review a free photo as "failed". I deleted the photo, the uploader objected. Please look User talk:Taivo#Maharishi and the Beatles 2.jpg. In addition, this is an important photo. Taivo (talk) 22:13, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

File:Natalia Poklonskaya by drsmolev.png

On 10:12, 27 March 2014, you moved File:Natalia Poklonskaya by drsmolev - Наташа (42378403).png to File:Natalia Poklonskaya by drsmolev.png. May I request that the file move be reverted? There are three files with similar names, and the numbering is what differentiates them. By moving the file to this name, it leads to the potential for confusion.

• File:Natalia Poklonskaya by drsmolev - Наташа (42378403).png
• File:Natalia Poklonskaya by drsmolev (42294411).png

No problem with the move of the page directly, but "obvious error" ("Stemoc moved page File:83타워.jpeg to File:83 Tower.jpg: File renaming criterion #5: Correct obvious errors in file names (e.g. incorrect proper nouns or false historical dates).)"? 타워 means Tower.

question about identification of subject

Hello, Stemoc. :) We have received an email from the agent of en:Eddie Perfect claiming that this file is misidentified. I've left a message at the talk page of the image, but in case you don't have it watchlisted wanted to ask directly - can you tell me how you know that this is Perfect? I don't see any identification by the photographer, and am unsure if perhaps there's corroboration somewhere. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:46, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:Bluefin-21 14th April 2014.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Bluefin-21 14th April 2014.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion.

Chris Kelly

I didn't find these on the Internet, I was e-mailed the Chris Kelly picture by the actual Chris Kelly. I was asked to upload the picture and make the Wikipedia page by him (friends with Brent Hodge who introduced me to him), and I was e-mailed the A Brony Tale teaser poster that's been flagged for deletion, too, by the owner of the "A Brony Tale" movie. I've been sending e-mails to Wikimedia, and asking when uploading these pics, what do I need to provide to prove that what I'm telling you is true? I'm new to this, I apologize if there's something I don't understand right off the bat. I was asked to make these pages by the actual people, and I just need to know what I need to do. Cheers. Marshan3q (talk) 09:41, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

can you actually prove what you said? I can add a pic of Justin Bieber and claim I'm a friend of Bieber and he gave me that image for his wiki, its best to take this to OTRS and provide them proof for the use of that image and also, Kelly does not hold rights to that image you uploaded, music.cbc.ca does..--Stemoc (talk) 22:30, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I understand, I'm asking you what you need me to do to prove what I said. I understand your logic, and I am asking what me, Brent, and Chris need to do to keep the Brony Tale poster up, and to add a picture of Chris. None of us understand what we need to do. Marshan3q (talk) 07:37, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

I already did, take it to OTRS by sending an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org with actual proof of licencsing right and not just 3 lines saying you release the image freely...read this before you do and also follow the format in how to send the info below (on that page)...--Stemoc (talk) 11:56, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Are we allowed to use photos from IMDb? Marshan3q (talk) 01:25, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

No, please learn about Commons:Licensing ..--Stemoc (talk) 01:46, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Appreciate your Reviews

Thanks for your reviews. I'm really bummed, though, because I put so much time and effort into uploading and converting those photos to the proper format. I had thought that if photos were licensed under Creative Commons, Generic, that they were all okay. So, the only thing preventing these photos from being including in Wikipedia is the "noncommercial" use symbol. I would have thought that Wikipedia, being a nonprofit organization, would be considered noncommercial. Daniellagreen (talk) 19:00, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Follow-up to reply:

I appreciate your work and follow-up on this. I also noticed that you located that good photo that included Beau Biden, and cropped it, updating his profile with it. I had attempted to work on formatting it properly to upload to his profile, but was unable to do so due to issues on my computer that I'm still working on figuring out. Sometimes, it works for me when I transfer a file to my computer from Flickr, and attempt to change the formatting, and sometimes, it doesn't. Also, I really appreciate your explanation; you're right, it makes sense, and I understand about it better now. I will look more carefully on the details of the photos from Flickr now. Also, I did contact the photographer of the photos that I had uploaded to Hunter Biden's profile, but he didn't contact me back. Your information has been most helpful! Thanks again!

misleading names into accurate ones

what was misleading here? The autors name in the file name ist not misleading neither is it forbidden by any policy to put the name there. Or did I miss one? ...Sicherlich ^talk 12:27, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

it was fixed to the commons name standards where the name of the person in the picture is listed first...Previously, it was the date listed first which may be confusing to new users who might try to add the picture to articles or to even find them via search..--Stemoc (talk) 09:24, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

"commons name standards where the name of the person in the picture is listed first." - could you tell me where this standard is written down. Never heard about that before

"t was the date listed first which may be confusing" - okay

none of the reasons where made at the request, but okay. but still you fullfiled the request by removing the autors name. Why is that?

...Sicherlich ^talk 03:41, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Generally, an author's name should not be part of the filename unless there are multiple "similar" images of that person and author's name is added to distinguish between the different images. The name of the author can always be found in the information section anyways..there are a few images of Irena by Mariusz so listing them as 01, 02, 03 is a bit silly...--Stemoc (talk) 04:03, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

"an author's name should not be part of the filename " - where do I find that policy?

still looking forward to the link for the standard regarding the name/date position ...Sicherlich ^talk 05:13, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

The filename should be as simple as possible for easier linking (C6) and also read this. it should answer your question...--Stemoc (talk) 05:23, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

the name is no advertisment. Otherwise you would have to remove it from the template as well

if "filename should be as simple as possible" would have been your reason then why not File:Sendlerowa 2005 - (and if it really would have been your reason; why did it take you so long to tell it ^^ no to mention your recent upload; "File:Oleg Belaventsev discusses with Sergei Aksyonov May 16 2014.jpeg" - why not File:Oleg Belaventsev and Sergei Aksyonov May 16 2014.jpeg - would be shorter and do they discuss? or is one listening, the other talking. or both just staring at each other ^^

still waiting for the answer where i find the guideline that states "commons name standards where the name of the person in the picture is listed first." - seems that that never existed right?

...Sicherlich ^talk 20:44, 18 May 2014 (UTC) PS. and what stands C6 for. please link the guideline if its the position 6 of some guideline. would like to read it.

You do know what "Harmonise" means right? and its funny you come to me with this instead of taking it to the person who requested the renaming.. I have no interest in who that person in the picture was but i know, the name of the person in a picture is MORE important than the day it was taken or who the author was. You seem to have a problem with the author's name being removed even though you are not clearly the author. If you try to add a image to an article using the previous date first standard, lots of mistakes would be made because some templates on different language wikis would find it hard to read certain filenames (the dots in the filename can break most templates) and regarding the image i uploaded, this is an ongoing news story and likelihood of more pictures featuring the both so its differentiated between this way, what if i uploaded another picture featuring both taken on the same day, you expect me to tag that as File:Oleg Belaventsev and Sergei Aksyonov 2.jpeg ? there is a difference between using a clear description as a filename and just using "RANDOM NUMBERS" as file name.--Stemoc (talk) 22:50, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Camera exchange

Hey mate, in relation to the discussion that we had on IRC and the camera equipment exchange, if I could organise something would it be beneficial to get it into your hands to increase our coverage of Fiji here on Commons? I'm throwing a few ideas around with a couple of people and may try to raise awareness of this exchange elsewhere, and it would ideally be best to get cameras into the hands of people like yourself if they would be used. What would be your thoughts on that? russavia (talk) 21:14, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

I'm not that interested mate, I have other things to do..if this had been 5 years ago, I would have said yes but right now I'm more focused on my life and editing wikis is now just a hobby, not to mention i'm a really poor camera man ..haha..but I do like the idea, its brilliant, maybe on the vein of the OLPC and something the WMF might want to grow further...--Stemoc (talk) 01:38, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

No problem. Something in the vein of OLPC would be a fantastic way to look at things. For example, there may be an organisation in Fiji that a decent camera could be bought for (or an individual who is heavily into photography) which could then actively (and heavily) put it into use to photographically document Fiji. Do you know of anyone/any organisations that could be considered, if we look at getting such a program off the ground? Any thoughts on that, if you have them, would be welcome. russavia (talk) 11:20, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

I'm friends with the government photographer and i have told him many times to upload to a flickr account but he is quite lazy...Don't know many photographers though one of my uncles is a top photographer of a local newspaper..not that many NGO's focused on the 'nature' side of Fiji..our WWF branch recently got shut down as well..the only major photographer i know of is Tim Wilson....I doubt there is an interest in this field in fiji...--Stemoc (talk) 12:36, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

COM:AN/U link removal

Hi Stemoc, I've removed the link to the ED piece in your comment on COM:AN/U, as its content is likely illegal and doesn't really add anything meaningful to this discussion.

User_talk:Russavia/Archive_17#Action_on_Flickr

Whilst I remember, you may remember this discussion we had 2 months ago. Zhuyifei1999 has a bot which is approved to upload from Flickr and he's done several jobs for me. In these instances they are streams for which we have OTRS permission, but in which the licence has been keep as (C) ARR on Flickr. There is no reason we couldn't ask Zhuyifei1999 if he would like to extend the bot to include the US Govt streams. Of course, we could have a discussion on this first, and then get bot approval for it. If you would like to open up a discussion somewhere if it's something you think might be useful, and let me know of link, I'd be happy to get involved, as I already have a big list of US Govt streams which could be uploaded. russavia (talk) 12:10, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure if its workable but maybe make a "white list" which the bot will read to see if any flickr streams which may not have images under a free licences on flickr but are classified as free due to US's copyright policies and thus should be in the Public domain.. This can include a few US embassies which still filter their images under ARR or cc-nd licences..this way it will allow uploads of images from those restricted flickr streams. If not Zhuyifei1999's bot than one of the previous bots could work. I honestly think we need a working list of flickr streams, this can also reduce work load for Licence reviewers in the long run and could avoid instances of where a reviewer not aware of US's overall policies in relation to images might deem a 'free' image as unfree....If you are willing to go through with this, I'm down. :) --Stemoc (talk) 12:25, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Lady Lotus, It doesn't really work that way, even when i got people to say yes to sharing the image, I have to wait until they change the licence appropriately before i can upload it here, if they forget to do so or refuse to change it, I don't upload it here..Until you can get them to "literally" change the licence, its best if you didn't upload the image here cause once and image is deleted for failing our Copyright Policy, re-adding it may become a problem..--Stemoc (talk) 21:32, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Ok thank you anyway :) Lady Lotus (talk) 21:33, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Warning

This is inappropriate. Personal attacks are not tolerated on Commons, and as an experienced Wikimedian, you ought to know better. Please do not do it again -FASTILY 22:11, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Fastily, I apologise for that but it felt appropriate at that time, I have been in discussion regarding this image for quite a while now and we already came up with a solution on the page of the previous admin who deleted it so for AussieLegnd to go over the head of the decision of 2 admins to you in my opinion was a need to 'seek for attention', thus the word i used....anyways, please read the discussion on Ellin's talk page...--Stemoc (talk) 22:31, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

While you might apologise now, I've just had to warn you again on en.Wikipedia for making personal attacks (in this case calling another editor an idiot). Your argument about going "over the head of the decision of 2 admins" is incorrect. The image was deleted by one admin who restored it after falling for your flawed argument only to have to absent herself for medical reasons. I went to Fastily for advice, as can clearly be seen on his talk page. Please, do not misrepresent events. --AussieLegend (✉) 22:52, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Inappropriate attitude and edit summaries

This sort of edit summary is really inappropriate. An admin has already had to comment on your attitude toward other editors when you made this post,[2] and I've had to warn you at en.Wikipedia,[3] which you followed up with baseless allegations. You need to be more civil and less aggressive in your approach to other editors. --AussieLegend (✉) 22:16, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

I would if you had taken a hint, there was no need for you to go running to another admin when 2 admins had already made the decision, the right one i might add, you seem to have a "personal" problem with that image and even when i explained to you in SO MANY TERMS as to why that image doesn't fail our Copyright policy, you refused to follow it... You actually put Fastily in a bad situation and this isn't the way we do stuff here, I asked in in the DR, if you had a problem with the image and its use, take it to Walmart using the proper protocol, you did not..--Stemoc (talk) 22:26, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

That is no valid excuse for being so aggressive to other editors. As for the image, I am yet to see evidence that Walmart does not own the copyright to the image. I have explained why your arguments are flawed in this matter and you have not responded on two pages. --AussieLegend (✉) 22:47, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

I won't explain it to you the 'gazillionth' time, either you get it or you don't (seems the latter) and its quite petty of you to target me on enwiki as all you are doing is creating problems for yourself. Its best that you dropped this completely or do as i mentioned previously, follow the proper protocol, go write a letter to Walmart and LunchboxLP....--Stemoc (talk) 22:55, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Critically evaluate Flickr licenses

File:Estella Warren 2010.jpg has been marked as a copyright violation. You may have preserved the information shown on Flickr correctly when transferring the image here, but the Flickr uploader is not the copyright holder of this image. Either the image was created by someone else, or it is a derivative of someone else's work. As stated in Commons:Licensing, only the copyright holder may issue a license, so the one shown on Flickr is invalid. Always remember to critically evaluate Flickr licenses. Photostreams with professional-looking photographs, album covers, posters, and images in a wide range of styles or quality taken by many different cameras often indicate that the Flickr uploader either does not understand or does not care about copyright matters.

LX, Yes but looking at the uploader (USANA Health Sciences), its a US Federal Government branch and the HIGH Quality of the image, It possible the pic was taken by the WireImage photographer on their behalf. You do realise people can hire Getty/Wire Image uploaders for Private events right? Its something done by many organizations, Please look at this Commons:Deletion requests/Canadian Film Centre photos by WireImage for comparison..--Stemoc (talk) 08:11, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Even if one hires a Wireimage photographer for a private event, the photographer or their employer retains the copyright unless there is a written contract stating otherwise. Keeping this would require OTRS confirmation, either from USANA Health Sciences, Inc. (which is not part of the US Federal Government) including a copy of such a contract, or from WireImage. —LX (talk, contribs) 09:20, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Your opinion

Hey, when you can, can you do me a favor and take a look at this user, her uploads are ALL Josh Wood, a guy with no wikipedia article, and all the photos are either uploaded by him or from her and some of them I have found on other websites, I can't tell if she's just uploading them as a fan or if she legit took these. Thoughts? Lady Lotus (talk) 15:53, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

@Lady Lotus: , apparently she is her 'agent'. I have access to IMDb Pro this year and she is tagged as her "talent agent", we have to give her the benefit of the doubt in this. Most agents upload both to IMDb and wikipedia. They shouldn't be tagged for deletion but a headsup given to Luisa to take this to OTRS to verify it...even though those images aren't being used yet, they could be, Wood looks legit and some of those images can be further cropped and used on other articles..--Stemoc (talk) 00:47, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, I took the deletion requests off and messaged her about contacting the OTRS team. Thanks for looking into it :) Lady Lotus (talk) 12:28, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

License review

Hi Stemoc. I hope you don't mind this personal request. But I'm having trouble with these Flickr files listed in Category:Flickr images not found. Apparently when I click the image links as provided in those images the files do appear, but the Flickr review bot couldn't recognize it and returned a result of "File not found". Could you help me review these files manually by yourself? Again, thank you very much and sorry if I caused you any inconvenience. Frozeficent (talk) 04:42, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Not sure what images you are talking about, the bot has reviewed all the images you uploaded...sometimes it reviews it once every hour and the only time it doesn't is if the image itself has been manipulated (cropped) as its not able to determine the size feom the exif data on the image itself on flickr..--Stemoc (talk) 04:57, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Oh I'm sorry, I forgot to give you the link Category:Flickr images not found. I don't know, all those images were in the same Flickr album, but some of them were reported fine, while some were reported not found. Frozeficent (talk) 05:04, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

File:Paul Walker01.jpg

I think you have made mistake by adding speedy deletion tag on the following image File:Paul Walker01.jpg, The picture uploaded from Flickr and its successfully verified by the FlickreviewR, Therefore i have also added source of the content. Do you really think its violated the policy? Please explain? Its already under CC 2.0 which is shareable and fully rights to post on Wiki Commons. --PrinceSulaiman (talk) 15:24, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Nope, not every image on Flickr belongs to the person who uploaded it. Tim uploaded those images from elsewhere, as a hommage to Walker, he doesn't own the rights to all those images of Walker adn thus its not allowed for use on commons, please DO NOT remove my deletion request again.....--Stemoc (talk) 15:43, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Please provide a proof of the licence before you delete, Since you don't have the proof who owns the image. --PrinceSulaiman (talk) 15:46, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

thats your job not mine, I didn't add the picture here, you did..you prove to me that that image should be added to commons...--Stemoc (talk) 15:50, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

The source i provided it already has the licence, So there is nothing more else to prove it. Without proving a proof please consider stay away from putting speedy deletion without a knowledge. I believe this licence is shareable which was widespread through other medias including multiple language wiki common. --PrinceSulaiman (talk) 15:56, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

You have been blocked for a similar offence, please try to avoid this in the future and abide by our policies and do not remove the deletions request....--Stemoc (talk) 16:03, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Category for WC2014 pic

Hi Stemoc! Your WC 2014 celebration pic here needs to be moved to the actual final category Category:FIFA World Cup 2014 Final 2014-07-13 (Germany – Argentina). Thanks. -- Cheers, Horst-schlaemma (talk) 16:50, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

I'm aware, but its was 'transcluded protected' image then so I couldn't touch it but now its not and someone has moved the category...which i think is idiotic, because there is only ONE final, you do NOT need to make a sub-category for a FINAL--Stemoc (talk) 01:35, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

About the Christina Aguilera picture

I'm asking Richard Harbaugh, who is the owner, and the ABC group, to make the pic avaliable for Derivatives, so I have to ask you to wait for his answer. The pic is not (c) so I hope yo can wait until he gave me an answer. Thank you very much. - Daviddavid00 (talk) 02:53, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

unfortunately i do not have the powers to do that but once you can get the licence changed, you can re-upload and it will be passed..that said, it would be even better if you can ask Harbaugh to change to the same licence for all his images, btw, there is no licence for derivatives, its either (cc-by) or (cc-by-sa)[Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons], the only 2 licence wikipedia allows....--Stemoc (talk) 02:59, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Not Michael Lipman

Hi, I'm an OTRS volunteer, handling Template:OTRS ticket from Michael Lipman. He says that the image you created, File:Michael Lipman 2011 (cropped).jpg, is not him, but someone else.

I have subsequently removed the image from the English, French, and Italian Wikipedia articles on Michael Lipman, where the image appeared. Would you consider renaming or removing the image, to avoid further confusion?

Copyright status: File:Henry Pyrgos October 2014 (cropped).jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Henry Pyrgos October 2014 (cropped).jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Please don't reproduce boilerplate in conflict with {{PD-USGov}}

Thanks for uploading lots of cool photos that are licensed PD-USGov. In future, please do not include boilerplate that's in conflict with {{PD-USGov}} when doing so. For admin confirmation of what I'm saying, see here (concise) and here (longer). Cirt notes, "Commonly the blurb text used for example at http://www.flickr.com/photos/whitehouse/14081505711/ by the current White House Administration account with Flickr is wrong." The admin continues, "The best way to remedy this is not to include the disclaimer text from Flickr from that account, and simply include the "PD-USGov" tag, as that's the official copyright license for those images." I don't have the patience to remove every instance of the boilerplate manually, but maybe someone will, or will make a bot do it. Thanks! --Elvey (talk) 16:59, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
