hello stifle,

i had asked for assistance in REMOVING high resolution images from wiki-commons and leaving a lower res. image - i received a reply that this was not possible - now i went to check on one of the images and found that ALL of them had been restored to the highest resolution

sorry, but I feel that i will have to delete all of these copyrighted images. how may i do that? i would rather not after all the work to get them posted & it was foolish of me to post the higher res. in the first place (I misunderstood the process) but i will have to delete these images:

sincerely britbone for blake nelson boyd — Preceding unsigned comment added by Britbone (talk • contribs)

Mr. Boyd has given us an irrevocable permission to use these images, so it will not be possible to delete them. Stifle (talk) 10:53, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Domingo photo - Sheila Rock

Hi Stifle, I have not been in Wiki for quite a while. For your info, I was the uploader for both Domingo photos that I received with written consent from Mr. Domingo's PR, who are also incharge of his website (www.placidodomingo.com). I have just received e-mail from his PR asking me to remove "File:DomingoJ1.jpg" from Wiki. It is a request from Sheila Rock. Could you please remove it as soon as possible? (I think partly because it is not entirely belong to Sheila Rock, the photo was taken for Deutshe Grammophon)

Secondly, the photo that you removed "File:Domingo_OtelloJ2.jpg", was given by the PR (same time with "File:DomingoJ1.jpg"), and that photo is free from any photographer's right. I read your discussion in "http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:OTRS/Noticeboard&diff=30565045&oldid=30564555#File:Domingo_OtelloJ2.jpg" but I was not around to reply for it. User:MichaelMaggs approved the photo after I sent him the e-mail I received from Mr. Domingo's PR stated that it was released for public domain. I will try locate the e-mail if i could find, it was given in 2007. Thanks - Jay (talk) 14:17, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. However, you should post to the bottom of discussion pages when adding a new message.
I have found the email in question (Ticket:2008091810002899), but it does not give permission under a free license. Therefore, the first file is deleted. Stifle (talk) 14:54, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
Its ok then. When I have the time, I will draft a line for "released to public domain" and send her an e-mail. Will ask her to use the format to reply to me - Jay (talk) 13:19, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Photo

Hi. Tell me if the image of mortuary photo (on the cross) can be uploaded on Commons. The cemetery is a public place. Cezarika1 (talk) 10:33, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

What country was the photograph taken in, and how old is the building/structure depicted in the photo? Stifle (talk) 10:33, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
The photo is on the cross. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Partenie_Ciopron2.jpg The country is Romania amnt the year of death is 1980. Cezarika1 (talk) 10:36, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
Sadly, we can't use that image at all because Romanian law (section 33 (1)(h) of the law of Copyright of 1996) requires us to have the permission of the person who created the headstone/monument as well as that of the photographer (see COM:FOP). The mortuary photograph itself is not a problem (see COM:DM). Stifle (talk) 10:44, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
This is the mortuary photo http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Partenie_Ciopron.jpg. I am the photographer. What's the problem. I don't understand the reason of deletion. And the mortuary photo can be uploaded here, I understand from your answer. Cezarika1 (talk) 10:50, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
Did you take the original mortuary photograph or just the copy at File:Partenie Ciopron.jpg? We can't use the image of the gravestone because it is a violation of Romanian law. Stifle (talk) 10:52, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

OTRS

Hi, about those images :

with an OTRS insufficient authorization (ticket 2009110210016791). I wanted to warn you that there was another image by same uploader File:Internationalfinancecentre.JPG with an OTRS ticket #2009110610009818.

I dunno what the guy said on the OTRS mail, but with his uplaods, there was some clear copyvios, and images with different authors. For you to know :) --Lilyu (talk) 13:42, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will place a warning against the OTRS tickets. But these permissions seem fine. Stifle (talk) 19:22, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

File:As_Siegfried.jpg

What does it mean derivative works and how can one obtain permission to do it--Ag Andras (talk) 17:41, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Derivative works means that images on Wikimedia Commons must be free for anyone to use and modify for their own purposes. This image says it can't be modified. You will need to ask permission from the copyright holder. Stifle (talk) 18:48, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

File:Tichey église 003.jpg

[1] Please read COM:FOP#France, this building is enough old to be there. De minimis per the roof which is not the main focus. Otourly (talk) 21:04, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

I've read that page, which is why I nominated for deletion. Is the architect dead over 70 years? Stifle (talk) 12:29, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi, it is a joke? First, the curch is clearly not a twentieth century one (not made with concrete). The church was made in the XVI one. In other hand, the roof was a retored (1990). this is not original one, many churches have the same. Besides, please read the Commons:De minimis. Regards, Otourly (talk) 14:57, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for making it clear that it was made in the 16th century. This is not something that is obvious to me, as I do not know about architecture. I am cancelling the DR now. Stifle (talk) 15:32, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Rename files?

Could you rename the following files, as they are not depicting Mount Pond:

OTRS received

I've been working at the no permissions backlog for a fair bit. I know you are very active on the permissions queues on OTRS, so I'm frequently coming across {{OTRS received}} templates that you've added to images. As there are a number of reasons why the email is insufficient, I think it would be helpful if when you add the template you could also add why the permission is insufficient (permission to use only / unsure if email is from copyright holder) etc.

Its not a big issue for me personally (as I can just check the ticket), but if you could provide that bit of extra info when you tag it will enable admins to act on the {{No permission}}, and be reasonably confident about the situation of the email.--Nilfanion (talk) 20:42, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure we can do that without violating the confidentiality of the OTRS. Stifle (talk) 09:11, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Rename files — CommonsDelinker

Hi Stifle; I cited an edit of yours to help justify a request for a check by CommonsDelinker. Please see diff 3 of my note to Siebrand.[2] Walter Siegmund (talk) 01:41, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Good point. Stifle (talk) 09:15, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Afghan photos

Please note that the Photographer actually replied on the IfD page noting that he understood Creative Commonso and had thus released the images to me when I'd asked him, confirming the OTRS eMail I sent. Since the photographer himself is speaking, I think that is enough to satisfy OTRS. Sherurcij (talk) 22:05, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps so (I have not deleted the page nor closed the AFD; that is for another admin to decide). It is best, however, to get an explicit response by email. Stifle (talk) 11:39, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Box cover art for Sega games

Hi Stifle, seeing as you have attached the OTRS #3887907 for File:Bpboxfront.jpg (Beggar Prince),[3] I figure I might pose this question to you. The same user, User:CMA Death Adder, has uploaded File:Wkboxfront.jpg (w:Legend of Wukong) and User:Andrew c has attached OTRS #2009070610054867 to it.[4] However, it is strange that Wkboxfront.jpg is licensed as {{Self|GFDL|Cc-by-sa-3.0-migrated}}. I presume the OTRS for both came from Super Fighter Team, since that seems to be the common ground between the two games. The GFDL/CC-by-sa license should be given by Super Fighter Team, and not by CMA Death Adder, right? Jappalang (talk) 02:32, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

The cc-by-sa appears to have been added as a license migration, but the image is not eligible for license migration as it was added after November 1st 2008. I've removed the cc-by-sa tag as a result. Does that solve your issue? Stifle (talk) 11:43, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Yes, thank you. It was just strange how the two images had two different claimants (uploader and ticket). Jappalang (talk) 02:16, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

File:ISS_Lunar_Outpost_Detail.jpg

I don't have access to my email at the moment, what can I do to assist with this image? Or have you bypassed me and contacted the uploader directly (as would be a better thing to do?) I don't mind if you publicly talk about it here. -Nard the Bard 22:03, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

The email you sent us was from a hotmail address, which anyone could have set up. To verify that it's a NASA image, it needs to come from nasa.gov. Stifle (talk) 14:43, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Yes, it was from a hotmail address, to my hotmail address. If you'd like I could send you an email from my navy.mil address, but I don't think that's what you had in mind :p -Nard the Bard 21:02, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
To verify a NASA image, we need a NASA email. Sorry for the bureaucracy, but we are strict on what we accept for licensing. Stifle (talk) 09:23, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Yes, I am an experienced editor, and I'm sorry you didn't get my joke. I hope the author comes through. -Nard the Bard 03:07, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Files still awaiting OTRS confirmation

Hello, Stifle. The file(s) listed below have been marked with {{OTRS received}}, but there has been no complete confirmation of its permission status in the last 30 days. From what I'm able to tell, you were the person who added this template. Would you mind taking a look at this again? If confirmation cannot be found, this file should probably be marked for deletion. This should be the only notification you will receive regarding this image, so long as the comment I added to the image description page is not altered. Thanks! HersfoldOTRSBot(talk/opt out) 08:58, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

If you are not an OTRS volunteer or did not add the "received" template to this file, it's possible I made a mistake identifying the correct user. I look for the most recent diff where the template was added, so if you reverted an edit where this template was removed, I can't tell the difference. If this is the case, please let my operator know at w:en:User talk:Hersfold. Sorry for the inconvenience!

File:Motuweta isolata.JPG

We're scientists. We don't "steal" other people's images and release them to public domain without permission. The author of the image, Chris Winks, gave permission to his colleague Stephen Thrope (User talk:Stho002) to release the image. Just give it a few for Chris to send an email over to OTRS. P.S. Scientists hate red tape. OhanaUnitedTalk page 05:35, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

The image hasn't been released to the public domain, either by the author or by someone else; it has been given permission to upload. You know as well as I do that that won't do. Stifle (talk) 09:25, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
I have just talked to the uploader via email. He stated that Chris has sent the email to OTRS "AND" CCed a copy to the uploader. We need to find the original ticket, not the later follow-up email that didn't get merged with the original ticket. OhanaUnitedTalk page 20:35, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Found it at Ticket:2009091410006819; also doesn't give sufficient permission. I've sent out a reminder email. Stifle (talk) 21:21, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

InkHeart & Co socketpuppets and associated uploads

Hi Stifle, I've opened a case workspace at the OTRS-wiki. I would welcome your comments. --AFBorchert (talk) 11:53, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

You may add File:송승헌 ssh.jpg you just restored to this case, my reupload (a copyvio) shows where the image comes from and how it is treated to look fine. --Martin H. (talk) 16:30, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
I've deleted it for the moment although there is an OTRS ticket (OTRS:4213787) received for it; I am unable to verify that the OTRS sender is valid. Stifle (talk) 16:43, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Kudos

For swift OTRS action when it counted the most

Thanks you very much for your help with the Mary Rose Trust donation. The swiftness is immensely appreciated despite minor grumbling and impatience. Here's an epic barnstar!

About Claire Leroy

Bonjour. I have seen your message about OTRS on file:Claire Leroy.JPG. The email I sent to Wikimedia OTRS included a personal email from Claire Leroy with few images. I thouth this one (her portrait) was good enougth (not the others, of course, I know who is the photographer). But, if you cancel it, it is not a drama. Dommage, has we say in french, but there are a lot of pictures of Claire Leroy on the Net, and if I ask her a new paper, in the rigth form, I will get the reply...in 6 months. She is racing all around the world, and next time that it is possible to see her in Brittany, I will make a shot by myself. Cordialement, --Barbetorte (talk) 17:10, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I won't cancel it; I found the email written in English but the attachment is in French. I am not permitted to handle emails in French, but I put the OTRS received on the page so that if a question arises before someone will see the email in the French-language queue, it can be found quickly. Stifle (talk) 18:37, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
OK, thank you. --Barbetorte (talk) 20:05, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
