Thanks for uploading File:Bishop, Kubuabola and Seruiratu March 2016.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.

Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2015 is open![edit]

You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2015 Picture of the Year contest.

Dear Stemoc,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2015 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the tenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2015) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. In Round 1, there were 1322 candidate images. There are 56 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top #1 and #2 from each sub-category. In the final round, you may vote for just one or maximal three image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 28 May 2016, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote »

Thanks,
-- Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee 09:43, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Critically evaluate Flickr licenses
File:Katie Lowes and Adam Saphiro Berlin 2016.jpg has been marked as a copyright violation.

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.

VOA Khizr Khan[edit]

Thanks for uploading the VOA files re: Khizr Khan/DNC. I haven't previously considered VOA as a media source. For some reason I'm not seeing clear license information on their website (and I think there are some agencies funded by the US government which are not automatically PD). I do see templates, etc. on Commons, so I'm not questioning the license information, but I'd feel better before using it myself if I could find something concrete. Any idea where to look? :) — Rhododendrites talk21:27, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Rhododendrites: For videos, basically just look for the VOA logo at the bottom but even then make sure that there is no other logo is present in the video, sometimes they borrow videos from other news sources so watch the video first before uploading, for images, always look for a VOA tag on the bottom right of an image usually after a photographer's name, if there is no mention of VOA, do not upload that image, most will be tagged as 'AP and Reuters' and sometimes plainly with the photographers name as they are 'courtesy photos', they are NOT free and should not be uploaded..btw, the sad part is that their own images are 'limited', over 80% of images on their site are non-free thus why recently they decided to revoke VOA as a PD source because people were intentionally adding the 'non-free' images from that site to commons so be careful when you add an image.--Stemoc 01:45, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Steinsplitter (talk) 13:54, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please respond[edit]

I'm quite concerned with the accusation you made at User talk:Steinsplitter#Estella Warren photo from Flickr? – it sounded pretty serious. There's been a couple of days since I pinged you, and I see that you've been active. Could you please respond? LX (talk, contribs) 08:53, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

accusation? no, But you seem to think every image with a wireimage/Getty exif is "not free", you never (if at all) take into account that professional photographers are hired to take HIGH QUALITY images and are "paid" to do it thus the right to those images belongs to the one who paid for it..OTRS for everything is just downright stupid, you know how easy it is to piss off organizations because we keep insisting them to provide permission for use of their images. I remember a recent one changed all their licences to ARR because of our persistence. This also applies to one of my recent uploads you got deleted..anyways I'm really tired of talking to people on commons who either don't reply or seem to think they know everything..Photographers only share "low quality" versions of their images with people/public they have not sold the rights to their images of, not ORIGINAL quality..maybe something to think about next time eh?..I didn't reply cause i already gave the reason in that response on Stein's talk page..--Stemoc 11:59, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for responding. You said that I don't bother to check "events" – that implies that I'm lazy or careless, and I would consider that an accusation, so I'd like to understand what you mean by that. What exactly am I supposed to check?
Your assertion that whoever pays for a photo to be taken always holds the copyright is wrong. In the United States, that would only hold true (1) if there is an employer/employee relationship (as opposed to a contractor/client relationship), (2) if there is a written contract that specifically uses the words "work made for hire", or (3) if there is a written copyright transfer agreement. According to their standard terms, WireImage and Getty Images retain the copyright and do not permit their licensees, including commissioning clients, to sublicense their works. In the event that there is an exception to this, it is up to you as the uploader to check what the case is and provide evidence. Those are the rules, and they're not going to change just because you think they're "stupid." LX (talk, contribs) 13:18, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

File:Melania Trump's plagiarised speech compared with Michelle Obama's.webm has been nominated for deletion czar 03:42, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

More VOA[edit]

Hi Stemoc. I received your notices about File:Trump VOA News Crop1.jpg and File:Trumpvoanewscom.jpg. I am perplexed. They were both still pictures taken from a VOA video that had the VOA watermark and were not credited to anyone else. I carefully included the license {{VOA}} for both images. But now both images are suddenly gone. What's up with that? Maybe User:Ellin Beltz can explain?Anythingyouwant (talk) 19:03, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Anythingyouwant: Basically, avoid taking images that have been credited to "VOA" from elsewhere, 90% of images on VOA are not owned or licensed to them, they are mainly from AP and Reuters..Unless an image is directly linked on some other site to the exact article on VOA from where it was used with the VOA watermark at the bottom right of the image, its very likely its a copyright violation..only images with that watermarked are allowed to be uploaded to commons..Other sites which use images from VOA don't necessarily 'attribute' the image to the real photographer, just the site where they got the image from..regarding videos with VOA watermark, it can only be used if there are no other markings within the video..sometimes VOA borrows stuff from other news site and incorporates it into their video to make a video which fails copyright....Only original research or compilation by VOA journalists should be added to commons--Stemoc 21:39, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reply. Because these files were deleted today before I had time to look at them, maybe I was confusing them with some other images (from a video). If these are the images copied from thebeat99.com where it's credited to VOA, then I agree that credit is wrong. That image is at VOA here and it has a tiny "AP" in the bottom right-hand corner. Cheers.Anythingyouwant (talk) 21:55, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I do not recall any "VOA" watermarks or indications of ownership on the deleted images. Ellin Beltz (talk) 23:01, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

CC-BY-4.0-NZ???[edit]

Hours ago, you created {{Cc-by-4.0-nz}}. But is this license true? What I only know is that CC 4.0 licenses don't have ported versions since they are International (unlike CC 3.0). Seeing https://www.govt.nz/about/copyright/, they are licensed under CC-BY-4.0, not CC-BY-40-NZ. If this license is true, can you show me a link to its legal code (or atleast its human friendly summary)? Thanks, Poké95 12:55, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

its an international licence but since we have been following the 'by-country' standard, i added it as one hoping it woudl appear once it has been accepted,, they basically chnaged the licence in August 2016, there is basically no difference between the previous 3.0 and the current 4.0 international..If you think its not applicable yet, change it back to international..looks like they chose to go for a 4.0 international licence instead as its more clear and actually "irrevocable"..do what you must, I won't challenge it..--Stemoc 13:09, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I just changed all files "licensed" with cc-by-4.0-nz to cc-by-4.0 to be sure. Any ported version is compatible with its unported version anyway. Poké95 13:17, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
