File:The Speaker Explains - Keeping Order in the House of Commons.webm

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: even though they were deleted by User:Taivo and previous UDR was closed twice by User:Ankry (Commons:Undeletion_requests/Archive/2019-09#File:The_Speaker_Explains_-_Keeping_Order_in_the_House_of_Commons.webm), they should be undeleted because:

  1. {{OPL}} is explained in https://www.parliament.uk/site-information/copyright-parliament/ .
  2. These two videos are {{OPL}}. (If common sense, Google and Youtube are not enough, please see special:permalink/367529550#The_Speaker_Explains and w:Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Archives/Humanities/2019_September_14#The_Speaker_Explains for reference.)--Roy17 (talk) 23:22, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

File:El Toro Dinghy.jpg

Contrary to the unsubstantiated assumption made in the delete request this is my own work; however, without EXIF and deliberately in reduced resolution appropriate for Web viewing. If some particular EXIF data are required by policy, I can create a file with those fields added. (Feel very welcome as a first time contributor). Ablaut490 (talk) 05:29, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

@Ablaut490: This is not required, but lack of EXIF constitutes a reasonable doubt due to COM:PCP and because providing grabbed from somewhere low resolution images without EXIF by new uploaders is very common. Note, that you did not contest deletion and nobody provided any resonable arguments for removing EXIF here during the week of he deletion process. Argument of reducing resolution due to web viewing requirements does not work here as (a) full-screen images are preferred to be used in Wikipedia and (b) reducing resolution is done server-side by Mediawiki software automatically so no need that uploader does it themselves. You can still upload a high resolution image or provide it to COM:OTRS if you have private reasons not to publish EXIF info. Or you need to provide here better arguments for its removal. If you have reduced resolution due to other usage of the image, the COM:OTRS procedure is still required. Ankry (talk) 06:11, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

You know, it's not worth my effort. I was happy to license a picture that well illustrates a wiki post, but I don't get anything out of it and will limit my contributions to where they are welcome (or where the rules are spelled out upfront). Still resent the implication that I am a thief for posting my own work. Jeesh. Also, probably done donating. Ablaut490 (talk) 20:39, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Photos of Rade Tanasijević

This photos has been marked for deletion for being from Facebook: File:RadeTanasijevic.jpg.jpg Photo was used here: https://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rade_Tanasijevi%C4%87 — Preceding unsigned comment added by LTilinger (talk • contribs) 19:02, 29 September 2019 (UTC) It was personally provided by the author, and is now removed from Facebook, so hopefully, it can be used here?

Best regards, Luka Tilinger — Preceding unsigned comment added by LTilinger (talk • contribs) 19:01, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

@LTilinger:
  1. Please, sign your messages
  2. Are you the author (photographer) as you claim? If so, why do you upload a photo from facebook instead of the photo from your camera? If you are not, claiming so is violation of photographer's moral rights and illegal.
  3. Do you own copyright to the photos? If so, how did you acquire it?
  4. If the above are not the case, COM:OTRS permission is needed as pointed out in the deletion nomination and the deletion log. It is also needed for any photo that has been published earlier without a free license. It is irrelevant if it is still available there or not. And facebook is not a freely licensed site.

Fort Michilmackinac

This photograph was taken by me with a Pentax Spotmatic film camera (I have the negative). That means it is pre-digital. I scanned the original photograph so that it could be published on this site as a digital image. If this step is not used, than all photographs taken before digital cameras were invented would be inadmissible. Sincerely, Marjorie K. Nanian --Mnanian (talk) 12:20, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

This photograph was made by a professional photographer (a couple of years ago) and I paid for. It is a picture of me. There is no copyright violation implied! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trampota (talk • contribs) 13:53, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

@Trampota: It depentds on what you really did pay for. Copyright still belongs to the photographer, unless there is a copyright transfer clause in your contract. Please check your contract. Neverless, even if copyright was transferred, you can't claim that you are the author. Authorship is not transferable. Ankry (talk) 15:05, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi,

Valeriy Dovbnya is a CEO in a company where I'm working. He is a public persone and I working on his personal brand. An article on Wikipedia is one of the steps. This image he gave me by himself and, yes, you can find it on Google and on FB. Anyway, I received this photo at first hand and want you to undelete it, please.

 Oppose If a photo was published elsewhere we need evidence of free license (either from the initial publication site or via COM:OTRS).

Chinchilla x-ray

Hello, I am a bit disoriented about two image deletions.

I uploaded two images and in hindsight I realize that I did so with incorrect licensing. The files should have been deleted.

This should have been from my account on 30 July 2019. I placed the images into Category:X-rays of rodents. I expect that they were deleted for lack of free license rationale. I would like to change the license to apply an appropriate license.

I cannot find the file names in my edit history. When files are deleted, do they disappear from edit history? I could be mistaken about all this but I thought I uploaded the files, and I expected to find a deletion notice somehow.

Can someone identify these deleted files and undelete them for me to fix? Thanks.

Thanks for anyone who can direct me or support. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:49, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

{{Soprintendenza}} is non-copyright restriction so irrelevant here. noFOP/FOP means only whether we should/need not to respect copyright of original works when creating DWs. The only question (IMO) is whether the municipality owns copyright of the works (via contract with authors) or has the right to license derivatives (likely this should also be granted in the contract). We generally assumed that when government officials grant something, they know what they are doing. If copyright belongs to authors and there is no FOP-like clause in copyright law, the municipality can grant nothing. Ankry (talk) 14:20, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

File:Казаков Михаил Александрович (1898—1982).jpg

This photo is from the personal file (1954) of the KGB officer M. A. Kazakov according to "Copyright on official works in the Russian Federation" was created before December 31, 2007 and therefore it is not necessary to know whether the task was included in the list of duties of the photographer. — Alexey Tourbaevsky, cheloVechek / talk 12:55, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

@CheloVechek: While uploading you claimed that:
  • this image is copyrighted
  • you own copyright of this photo
  • you are the photographer.
Do you still uphold the above claims? If not please clarify (because your above statement is unclear in this matter), what should they be replaced with, i.e.
  • is the photo copyrighted (if no - why? did copyright expire or some specific exception in copyright law applies?)
  • if it is still copyrighted, who the copyright holder is and where is free license from them?
And please note, that except copyright status in Russia we need also its copyright status in US, which generally depends on initial publication date. For photos published after 2002 copyright generally expires 70 years after the author death. There is name of a photo agency, date 1954 so the photographer is identifiable and could not die more than 70 years ago.
We cannot undelete a photo with false copyright info. So the above needs to be clarified earlier. Ankry (talk) 13:41, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
  • This photo is not protected by copyright, as it later became clear that it is part of the official personal file of an employee of the KGB of the USSR.

      Yes, in 1954 he was fired from the KGB of the USSR. Upon dismissal, they made the last photo for their personal affairs with all the awards. This was required to provide a military pension.

official personal file is not an official document. It is likely a set of various documents (and other media) issued by various institutions. A photo itself is also not an official document. If the photo become a part of an official document, eg. some identity card, it may indeed be PD. Othrwise it is not. 1982 publication means, that US copyright exists if and only if the photo was copyrighted in Russia in 1996. I think it was and we need a free license permission from the photographer's heirs. Ankry (talk) 17:34, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

File:Mountain Dew flesjes uit Nederland.jpg File:Mountain_Dew_blikjes.jpg

The Dutch Wikipedia page about the Mountain Dew soda brand shows a photo taken of an American Mountain Dew soda bottle. As the page is Dutch and mostly is explaining Mountain Dew's history in The Netherlands, I have added two additional photos similar to the already existing photo on the page, but instead showing the bottles and cans produced in The Netherlands that the page talks about. These photos I have taken myself and are free for anyone to (re)use. I am unsure why these are deleted as I think they are more appropiate to use on this page than the photo showing the American soda bottle. Germes (talk) 23:26, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

@Germes: There are legal status differnces between these products:
first, the US product label contains almost nothing but letters; if you make a similar photo of Duch products (where graphic elements of label are not visible) it might be OK; however, I doubt if it is possible and there is another problem:
second, in the US threshold of originality is higher then in EU; so it is possible that if the US photo presented an European product, it would be copyrighted in country of origin. Commons rules require the work to be free in US and in the country of origin, while it may be copyrighted somewhere else.
I think, you need to ask the label copyright holder for a free license permission or focus on products that are 70+ years old. Ankry (talk) 23:44, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

File:Escudo de Aldosivi.svg

Al hacer el logo en formato vectorial y dejar las fuentes de creador supuse que esta vez no iba a haber problemas. Asimismo quería recordar que "Esta imagen, o el texto representado en ella, consiste sólo en formas geométricas simples y texto. Esto no alcanza el umbral de originalidad necesario para que esté protegido por derechos de autor, por lo tanto, está en dominio público.", que es lo que sucede con los demás logos de equipos de la Superliga.

 Support I agree, this is absolutely simple enough. I don't know what you mean Ankry, I've never seen a more simple fish like this. -- User: Perhelion 13:58, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
Simple geometric shape is IMO a triangle, circle, square or something like this. If there is more complex formula required to describe a shape, I do not consider it "simple". The fish does not seem to me to be significantly simpler than the snapchat logo (which, as I was recently teached, is copyrighted). But this is just my opinion. Ankry (talk) 15:19, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

The Club Atlético (Athletic) Aldosivi has no copyright restrictions as long as the source and author are cited. You should also remember that the image is in svg format, which makes it easy to avoid copyright issues. Finally, I send my request to Wikipedia moderators so that the official Aldosivi logo circulates again through the free encyclopedia because the protocol was not violated. Miguel1913 (talk) 04:14, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

@Miguel1913: Please do not create duplicated requests. This one is still open.
Unlike some Wikipedias, Wikimedia Commons does not accept Fair Use images. Images published here must be free for any use, including commercial and derivative work creations. Does the club explixcitely accept such wide reuse by anybody? If so, please link to the club officials' declaration and we will be able to go on.
Moreover, copyright restrictions are not due to clubs decision but due to law. Even if the club do not sue copyright violators now, we need to be sure that they will not change their mind in future (or that changing their mind will be legally irrelevant for reusers). Free license is a legal contract that bounds both sides. Ankry (talk) 06:12, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Ok, I understand this. But as your partner Perhelion said, the logo that represents a shark is very simple (keep in mind that it is not a fish, if not a shark). All other clubs of the Argentine Soccer Super League are licensed under "simple geometric shapes", when in repeated cases they have the same or greater degree of complexity than the Aldosivi logo. Club representatives do not have an official statement specifying that it can be shared on the web, as the other 23 teams in the league do not have. But if this declaration were necessary, being Aldosivi a humble Club and close to its members, it could be obtained (by the head of the marketin department or the community manager for example). I really appreciate your attention with me and I hope that we will soon reach an agreement, a greeting. Miguel1913 (talk) 02:08, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

            • There was not. That link was quickly followed up by Commons:Review of Precautionary principle, which reverted the policy edit made after your link, and resulted in the current text of: Files nominated for deletion due to the URAA should be evaluated carefully, as should be their copyright status under US and local laws. A mere allegation that the URAA applies to a file cannot be the sole reason for deletion. If the end result of copyright evaluation is that there is significant doubt about the freedom of a file under US or local law, the file must be deleted in line with the precautionary principle. That does say that we should really know what the terms were on the URAA date, and show that the work was not PD then. There are lots of ways we may not have information, such as not fully documenting laws at the time (including older laws where non-retroactive increases could make relevant), so we should not delete when there are some significant questions on the URAA status, and the work is PD otherwise. French terms though are pretty well known; in 1996 they were 50pma plus the wartime extensions. It would seem the wartime extensions would put it just over the line, unfortunately. That all said, there are some admins who keep using the earlier link as policy and won't delete such works -- as the URAA is particularly frustrating in cases like this one -- so there will be DRs which go both ways.

              @Racconish: From Commons:Licensing#Uruguay_Round_Agreements_Act and Commons:URAA-restored copyrights. I'm not sure we have sections which carefully document the law on the URAA date for each country, though. In many cases, aspects of historical laws come into play. For example, the situation described in the now-deprecated template Template:PD-Austria-1932, while not being valid in Austria today, was in fact the situation in January 1996 (Austria did not implement the EU directive until later in 1996), so pre-1932 photos which have since expired via 70pma or anon-70 in Austria should still be fine by the URAA. There are lots of other examples like that, too. There can be other types of gray area even when the laws are known -- in Germany, a court later ruled that the EU directive (implemented in 1995 in Germany) substantially changed their definition of "simple photo" from most any snapshot-like photo to only things like X-rays (despite no change in the text of their actual law), but that would not have been known in 1996. That latter example may still be significant doubt though. Carl Lindberg (talk) 11:35, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
              @Ankry and Clindberg: This is clearer now, thank you.

File:Colorado_-_Branding_Calves c. 1900.png and File:Colorado_-_Branding_Calves c. 1900 original.tif

These both seem to have been deleted in error. It's best practice to upload a lossless copy of an edited work, indeed, Commons:File types#PNG directly instructs people to, and Commons:Deletion_policy#Duplicates says that such lossless copies should not be deleted as duplicates.

As for the other, keeping the original, unedited copy of a restored file is also not only best practice, but deleting it is very bad practice. Why would we have {{Original}} if not? And how is an unedited original an exact copy? Adam Cuerden (talk) 03:28, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

I am the assistant of Ms Vălean. This picture was taken by the photographer Alex Gâlmeanu at the request of Ms Vălean. We own the copyright because we have paid for the photo session. I would appreciate to put it back. Ms Vălean agrees to have her photo on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zaboloteanu (talk • contribs)

Payment itself is not a proof of copyright transfer contract. It depends what the photographer was actually paid for. In order to undelete the photo we need a written free license permission from the actual copyright holder (who we consider the photographer unless an evidence of copyright transfer is provided). The copyright holder needs to follow COM:OTRS instructions.
Note, that authorship cannot be transferred, so claiming to be the author, as you did, is against Wikimedia Commons rules (as providing false information) and illegal in most legal systems.

@EddieMassey: There are three ways to sort this out. In decreasing order of what I'd recommend:

  • You can indicate on a web site (or section of a web site) that is clearly under your control (e.g. if you have a web site as an artist) that this Commons account is under your control and that what is done here is under your authority. Point to that here, and we can reference that in the permissions field of the {{Information}} template (which you should then do on any further uploads).
  • Similarly, instead of authorizing the account, you can indicate the relevant license for any given image. This would let someone upload, but if you plan on doing the uploading yourself would take more work for the same result.
  • You can go through the process laid out at COM:OTRS/COM:CONSENT. This is a solid process, but it will take more time (there is a backlog), will require more work, and will have no advantage over the other two approaches. - Jmabel ! talk 21:48, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Duplicate uploads by User:Uros N

Photographer Uroš Novina (Uros N) was attracted by the Wiki Loves Monuments competition and uploaded his work to participate. Unfortunately, some of his freely licensed photos were already uploaded from FlickR a long time ago, so the new uploads were deleted as duplicates. I wish to have them restored so that they may be included in the competition, and the old versions deleted instead - the speedy deletion criteria allow such an exception (Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion#F8: "The generally accepted rule is to delete the newer duplicate, but that may not always be the case, such as when comparing between a user uploaded file, and a bot uploaded file"). Additionally, the new files are much smaller with the same resolution, which makes them easier to use.

Unfortunately, I can't access the list of his deleted contributions, but here's one example:

Can this be done? Thanks. — Yerpo Eh? 16:58, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

 Info I am not sure what the smaller size means here: but if this means higher lossy compression, then the smaller images should not be undeleted.

File:Lallah Perry.jpg

This is a photo in my posession taken by my father of his mother, the artist Lallah Perry. He took this in the early 1970s. I uploaded the picture to the wikipedia page. I would assume that I have copyright to a photo taken by my father of his mother, and given to me by him. There aren't a lot of publicly available photos of my grandmother Lallah Perry, and she is becoming a more widely known artist in her home state. How would I claim the copyright to a photo that is physically in my possession? Thanks. This has become a significant headache and I assure you that my intentions are good. I am just trying to get a photo of her into the public so that it can be added to her wikipedia page. It hasn't been published anywhere else.

Would it be helpful for me to send the email described on this page? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Email_templates

 Oppose As a general rule, simply owning a photograph (or any other copyrighted work) does not make you the owner of the copyright or give you the right to license it -- take for example a book you have purchased -- you certainly would not expect to be able to make copies and sell them. Therefore, your father is or was the copyright holder. If your father has passed on and you are his heir, then you do own the copyright and can freely license it here. If not, then your father or his heir must license it using the procedure at OTRS. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:59, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

  •  Comment please don't be silly @Sailko: the names of the sculptors were unknown at the date of the DR. As you can see by a non-superficial look the DR was indeed intented to ask the uploader to provide the sculptor's names since it's up to him to provide the accurate information, not the nominator.

I won't argue any longer but as Carl Linberg pointed out it's a small error compared to your wrong rationale for keeping the files. I admit you are not the only one to share the same falses views, many Wikipedia Italia users seems to be as uninformed as you about the laws of their own country as shown by other DR I launched (read the mass  Keep votes in Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Centro per l'Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci). Instead of being unpolite again I would only suggest @Sailko: , as an organizer or coordinator of WLM Italia, to care about the mess surrounding this project. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 21:08, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
Btw @Patrick Rogel: I am not an organizer or coordinator of anything, I am just a simple volunteer who wants to enrich the available images catalogue, taking advantage of the available authorization.

    •  Support It looks like this was one of the initial two files nominated, but the deletion reason only applied to the first one. A large list of works with unknown authors was added later, but 1) this file was not in that list, and 2) had the date and author in the filename already, so that was known. An 1840 work is old enough we can safely assume PD-old-70 even if the author's death date is not specified, so probably should not have been nominated -- looks to be a single mistake in a long list of otherwise valid questions, but should be undeleted.

  • Unfortunately, your undeletion rationale is going to need to be more specific to the file rather than generic for over 75 images. As you already know, none of these were listed with the correct license. What complicates this is that a portion of these files have no valid source and author, some are watermarked, some are low quality and you can find a higher quality if you get it from the right source, some have other copyright concerns (not works of Brazil Gov.), I see at least two or three that look to have been mixed in with this request that are irrelevant. If I spoke Portuguese or was from Brazil, I would just read the file names, find the highest quality resolution from Brazil Government with a legitimate source, and re-upload because this is a mess and that'd honestly take less time. ~riley (talk) 23:40, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

File's dating and permission had been fixed prior to deletion. Skjoldbro (talk) 18:22, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

@Skjoldbro: No, it was not. You declared, that the photo author (Bauer) donated his copyright to Public Domain providing no evidence for this. Moreover, it is not clear whether such declaration can be considered valid in Polish or German legal system. Ankry (talk) 18:43, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: No, I corrected the permission of the file to say the Polish National Archives released it to the public domain, as it was from the Kraków-Warszawa Press publishing house. Skjoldbro (talk) 19:59, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
 Comment If I remember well it's not the first time that the general permission of the Polish National Archives has been challenged (especially by me) since some German works (deleted since) have been mixed with real Polish works in this website. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 20:17, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
@Skjoldbro: You have used {{PD-author}} claiming that the PD status was granted by the author, who is Bauer. The attribution for NAC you used here is irrelevant. We have no evidence that Polish National Archive have copyright to the photo and how can they become the copyright holder. We only know that the photo originates from Wydawnictwo Prasowe Kraków-Warszawa (publishing company) which likely inherited it from some earlier entity, which already disappeared. While it is possible that Bauer had some copyright transfer contract with some older publishing company or that his copyright to the photo was nationalized by Polish government after war, we have no evidence for any of that. Note, that we have even no evidence that its country of origin (country of initial publication) was Poland which is the only case to apply Polish copyright law in Wikimedia Commons. Also note, that if the publication by NAC (in 2016?) was the first publication of the photo, US copyright applies to the photo directly, independently of its copyright status in Poland, and unless we can provide a copyright transfer contract evidence, it belongs to the author (Bauer) and lasts 70 years since his death or 120 years since the photo creation (2065) if the death date of the photographer is not known.

File:Pasquale Festa Campanile.jpg

Удаленный файл необходим для опубликованной статьи о неизвестном в России писателе и кинематографисте и, с моей точки зрения, в первом знакомстве с большой личностью его портрет определяет читательскую расположенность или нет наряду с содержательной и иллюстративной частями. Опубликованный мною файл больше подходит для иноязычных страниц Википедии (не только для русской), поскольку отражает глубокую человечную личность, в то время как используемая для этих целей фотография 1950-х годов направляет читателя в первое послевоенное время, к сладкой жизни римской богемы. Она слишком датирована и в историческом, и в иконографическом смыслах, поэтому ее использование закрепляет за данным автором принадлежность к относительно короткому периоду развития итальянского кинематографа, так называемой "комедией по-итальянски", но никак не отражает его значимость в последующие десятилетия ит. кино и литературы. Он - мэтр, и должен выглядеть таким. Я согласен, что ранее файл был загружен с нарушениями лицензирования. Я привел его в соответствие с лицензиями и вновь поместил в статью, в которой я просил бы его сохранить. Спасибо за предупреждение и понимание, уважающий вас--Pontycosta (talk) 01:26, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

 Oppose. @Pontycosta: You initially claimed that you are the author and copyright holder of the photo. Now you claim that it was made by an unknown photographer and published before 1.1.1978 (required by {{PD-Italy}}+{{PD-1996}}) without evidence for this. Personally, I think that this is an artistic photo, where PD-Italy cannot apply, byt another opinion here is welcome.
It is not necessary that a Wikipedia article is illustrated. And photos that are neither freely licensed nor PD cannot be hosted in Wikimedia Commons.
this page says it is photo by Olivier Père published in 2011. Any evidence that this is not correct? Ankry (talk) 06:13, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - Agree with Ankry.

1. FOPː #Permanent_vs_temporary - "Even quickly decaying works can thus be "permanent" and therefore be subject to freedom of panorama. Street paintings, ice, sand, or snow sculptures rarely last more than a few days or weeks. If they're left in public space for their natural lifetime, they are considered "permanent" all the same." - the election posters are definitely designed to last till the election day thus they can be considered as placed there till the end of their life cycle - ie. permanently. 2. Election posters are of Utility objects nature and ephemeric ːEphemera thus not copyrighted 3. Anyway, they are too simple to be copyrightedː do not meet Threshold_of_originality In addition, at least one of them illustrated situation of proximity of electoral propaganda and the polling boot - not possible without picturing the poster itself. --Oo91 (talk) 21:36, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

 Oppose Election posters are not "quickly decaying works" because of their nature, but they are required by law to be removed after election. So I see no way to consider them permanent. Ankry (talk) 06:24, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

File:Jyrkin kuva.jpg

The referred person Jyrki Lappi-Seppälä has given the photograph at my disposal for the intended purpose of the Wikipedia article about him and assures that the copyright of the picture belongs to himself. The reason why the same picture (in uncropped format) is found from https://www.kirkkojakaupunki.fi/-/kirjallisuuden-kaantaminen-on-kuin-soittaisi-nuoteista is because a Finnish publishing company "Into" has used it with Jyrki Lappi-Seppälä's permission as an illustration and as advertising material for autobiography of the referred person. Jyrki Lappi-Seppälä: "Tuulimyllyjä päin" (Into 2013).--Jumilase (talk) 19:11, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

@Jumilase: Why did you claim that you are the photographer if you are not? In order to undelete the photo we need a free license from the photographer or an evidence that copyright has been transferred (eg a copy of the copyright transfer contract). Ankry (talk) 20:18, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: I'm a new user to Wikipedia, this is my first article ever. However, I don't recall claiming that I am the photographer but rather that I have the right to use the photograph. I have received the photo and permission to use it for this purpose directly from the referred person on email. How would you qualify me to to produce this evidence? --Jumilase (talk) 23:05, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
@Jumilase: I see no such option ("I have the right to use") in the fiwiki upload tool (at least in its English version). I see only "This is my own work". If there is mistake in translation it should be fixed. As far as I know, only photos made personally by the uploader are allowed to be uploaded using the crosswiki upload tool. In any other case, the upload wizard in Wikimedia Commons should be used as this requires providing much more information (who is the photo author - photographer, what license was granted by the photographer and how it can be verified - license evidence). Only the photographer is authorized to grant a license in most cases. And permission "to use" is not enough to upload an image to Wikimedia Commons as well as to most Wikipedia language versions. More freedom is required than "to use". Ankry (talk) 10:58, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

 Not done: We need a permission with a free licence coming directly from the copyright holder by email. Please note also that "for Wikipedia only" is not sufficient as all uploads here must be free for anyone to use for any purpose even outside Wikimedia projects. See COM:OTRS for more instructions. --De728631 (talk) 23:39, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

anita infobox.jpg

Hi!

I am not an expert. And I am quite new to this wikipedia thing. I wanted to make an article about polish politican Anita Sowińska. I got approved by her and she let me use some photos. All of them were banned. What should and/or can do to unban them? Maybe I should talk to the author of those images and ask them do write me an approval?

I don't know so I would appreciate your answer.

Thanks in advance, Invinoveritas123 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Invinoveritas123 (talk • contribs) 22:25, 16 October 2019 (UTC) 22:33, 16 October 2019 (UTC) I read other undeletion request so I guess I have to get an approval - evidence or free license. O K. So here's the second question. Where and should I upload it? So it won't get "lost" and will be connected to this particular case?

Invinoveritas123, 00:33 17/10/2019 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Invinoveritas123 (talk • contribs) 22:33, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

@Invinoveritas123: First, you need free license permission from the photographer, not from the subject. A free license is required here and the photographer is the only person authorized to grant a license. Second, permission from the subject is needed only if the photo is made in private circumstances or if the subject is not a public person. So the question is: where is a free license permission from the photographer and how we can verify it basing on public records? If not public, the actual copyright holder needs to follow COM:OTRS instructions. Otherwise the photo is not suitable for Wikimedia projects. Ankry (talk) 11:05, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

 Not done: Per Ankry. We need a permission by email coming directly from the copyright holder. --De728631 (talk) 23:39, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

File:King Kong (illustration).jpg

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: This file was speedy deleted as derivative. King Kong is not in general copyrighted, if so, then the derivative can not fall under this copyright because it is simply a gorilla without originality (s. w:King_Kong#Legal_rights). However, in the deletion reasoning is the comparison to the alleged original missing, since the author claims he did not use a protected material.[5] (request by User:A1Cafel) -- User: Perhelion 20:49, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

 Info "Copyright (C) 1976 Dico De Laurentis Corporation. All Rights Reserved" on the image. Ankry (talk) 02:46, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
Also previous undeletion discussion. Ankry (talk) 03:10, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 Comment Then it's time to reconsider again, because this is a false claim.
  • Reason for the first decline was mainly "out of scope": "Aside from the entirely correct reasons given above, these are also personal art from non notable artist, therefore out of scope."
    Aside the first part of (Jims/the) explanation is fully unclear or ambiguous in the context.
    Even OOS is not a speedy deletion reason, it is absolutely disputable, as he is a notable artist in well known in certain circles. Google hits for his name (in quotation marks): 19.200
  • It's a derivative? No, until there is evidence given for the imaginary original picture.
    To be more pragmatic open: The "Dico De Laurentis Corporation" can't have the copyright on all gorilla pictures on the world.
    The first movie (all his "basic ingredients", plot and characters) are public domain.[6]
    Beside: The here shown gorilla looks clear more like the old version (not DDL).
  • w:King Kong #Legal rights' judgment states this:
    "The courts ruling noted that the name, title, and character of Kong no longer signified a single source of origin so exclusive trademark rights were impossible."
    Even the trademark rights are not relevant for us.
-- User: Perhelion 09:37, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
    • Nobody says that "Dico De Laurentis Corporation" owns copyright "on all gorilla pictures on the world". The clause is on this particular image. And to consider it invalid, we should have (IMO) clear information from the author why it was placed there. Maybe, it is an artistic effect, maybe it is work for hire, or maybe, the artist considered this work just a derivative of some copyrighted work so the clause was preserved.

Already deleted, so reopening for an explanation.
@Stepheniyke: In order to undelete the photo, you need to explain why it is in COM:SCOPE. Is the subject notable? Is there a Wikipedia article about him? Any other article in Wikimedia projects needs this photo? Is he a significant Wikimedia contributor? Has the photo educational value? Ankry (talk) 07:58, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

My team and I are working to create a Wikipedia article about him, when we complete gathering information about him. The Youth Creativity was held in the state where did his one year National Youth Service to his country, to encourage and advise the youths on how to use their skills effectively to effect changes in their localities. He was an active youth during his service year, conducted a lot of community development projects where he created awareness on youth and gender, and he is still an active youth till date, doing things at his capacity. One of the projects he conducted was sponsored by the Vice Chairman, Eket Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State. To retain fateful event, his picture was uploaded to Wikimedia for further documentations about him. I believe that he is working on things that will make him notable in the future, if he is not yet notable. I see this as a means of encouraging him to aspire for more heights in social change and development.

Furthermore, he is the founder of Initiative for African Citizens (IAC), a nongovernmental organization that advocates for youth participation in governance and decision making process in Africa. This organization is undergoing some documentations in Nigeria where it was founded and registered, but has chapters across Africa, although growing from stage to stage.

Kindly see reasons to restore this image. Thank you. (Stepheniyke (talk) 09:56, 24 October 2019 (UTC))

Dear WikiPedia users,

Let me introduce myself. I am Ricardo van Kuijk, the online marketing manager/employee of Rotterdam Ahoy NV. I admire the time that is put into researching the EXIF data.. but all rights to this picture are bought by Rotterdam Ahoy NV. We have decided that we would like to give this image to the community via a free to use CC license. We favor this image for our Wiki pages with obvious reasons. Please undo the error of deleting this image. We would like our pages to be perfect for the Eurovision Song contest.

I do appreciate the effort WikiPedia users put into their work voluntarily. Could you please replace the image again for all pages (languages) available?

Kind regards,

@Rkuijk: We cannot accept on-wiki license declaration if the image has ever been published elsewhere. There are two ways to grant a free license in such cases:
  1. the faster one: the copyright holder might declare a free license for this image on their official site, where the image was published, or
  2. the slower one: the authorized representative of the copyright holder may send a written free license declaration following COM:OTRS instructions and using their official email address.
Note: it is not possible to grant a Wikipedia use only license. Wikipedia content is intended for reuse and should be free for any use including commercial reuse and derivative work creation with very few exceptions. Ankry (talk) 10:07, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

In the pic link it says Copyright free so i used the pic , if thats not acceptable as per norms you may delete the pic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jehowahyereh (talk • contribs) 03:38, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

@Jehowahyereh: It seems that this declaration is by the subject, not by the photographer. Any evidence that the subject owns copyright to this photo? (otherwise, his declaration is void) Ankry (talk) 14:05, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
That is the official facebook page of that actor, and as it is mentioned there i am certain that its copyright free ; and i couldn't find anywhere about any copyright restriction of that image in internet. Jehowahyereh (talk) 07:22, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
@Jehowahyereh: This is not you who should be certain, but a potential commercial reuser should be certain. How can you convince us/them that there is a copyright transfer clause in the actor's contract? Cases when people claim to have copyright to their portrait photos while they actually have not are quite common. Ankry (talk) 11:30, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

The presence of EXIF data is not obligatory in order to upload a file on Commons, so the absence of them in not valid reason for a deletion request. I declare that I am the author of the picture, which doesn't represent a copyrighted item.--Prof.lumacorno (talk) 11:05, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

@Prof.lumacorno: It is not. But a reasonable explanation why you upload images without EXIF data would be welcome. Ankry (talk) 14:16, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
Yes, of course. It's mainly a matter of privacy. When I upload a picture on COmmons with its EXIF data I show exactly where and when I took the picture. i.e.: my girlfriend could be suspicious to discover that the picture of the fish represented in this photo was taken at midnight, in the precise location of her best friend's house, right when she was out for her night shift at the hospital.--Prof.lumacorno (talk) 06:52, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
If there are privacy issues, they can be resolved while contacting OTRS. Lack of camera info in EXIF raises some doubts that needs to be addressed. While we can assume COM:AGF here IMO, there is a risk that somebody raises the same problem with another photo soon. Ankry (talk) 11:25, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Bonjour,

Je ne comprends pas pourquoi les fichiers sont supprimés, puisqu'il s'agit des fichiers sources que j'ai mis en ligne sur le site ubbrugby.com. Il est donc évident que j'en ai les droits, mais j'avoue que votre process est complexe et que je suis potentiellement passé à côté d'une étape. Merci de m'indiquer comment intégrer ces photos sans qu'elles soient immédiatement supprimées s'il vous plait.

Hi,

I'm creating the page for Scott Duffy.

He allowed me to use his photo.

Why was it marked as a possible copyright violation?

Please confirm my undeletion request,

thanks.

"He allowed me to use his photo". But you claimed it to be your own work! And it was found elsewhere on the web. So, Mr. Duffy needs to confirm 1) that he has obtained enough rights from the photographer (who should be named) to release it under the choosen free license, and 2) that he wants to release this photo under the choosen free license, from his official/business email address to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org . --Túrelio (talk) 11:04, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

Restauração de File:Lázaro Ramos e Taís Araújo.jpg

Como que alguém pode alegar que a imagem não é minha e sim do facebook, sendo que fui eu o autor da foto? Eu publiquei a foto que eu tirei na peça O Topo da Montanha e postei no meu facebook. Não posso fazer o que eu bem entender no meu facebook? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Miguel Ruy Barbosa (talk • contribs) 18:05, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

@Miguel Ruy Barbosa: The {{Own}} declaration works only if the image was never published elsewhere. Otherwise, the license must originate from the initial publication site or follow COM:OTRS instructions. Uploading a Facebook published image to Wikimedia Commons as {{Own}} is considered copyright violation unless there is a clear evidence based on public records that both fb & Wikimedia accounts are operated by the same physical person (which is unlikely as all Wikimedia accounts are considered anonymous and attempts to identify their operators are generally forbidden by ToU).

Please undelete the picture referenced in the subject. It is a copy of an original work that I own. Accordingly, it was appropriately uploaded and should not have been deleted. --Bioupdates (talk) 02:00, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

@Bioupdates: First, owning a copy of a work does not authorize you to claim its authorship
Second, only the author, their heirs, or a person whom the copyright has been transferred in a contract are authorized to grant a license; work ownership is irrelevant here.
Third, for already published images we need a written permission from the actual copyright holder, see COM:OTRS. Ankry (talk) 07:03, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: Please re-read my original post. I specified that I own the original (including all IP rights related thereto, copyright or otherwise). My point was that, given I own the original, uploading a copy of that original is completely appropriate. The image has not been previously published by anyone other than me and, to my knowledge, no one has disputed my ownership. Frankly, I am not sure why it was taken down to begin with.--Bioupdates (talk) 15:06, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
@Bioupdates: If you own copyright, then we may need evidence for this. COM:OTRS is the right way.
The image was deleted mainly as we cannot accept on-wiki license declarations for already published images due to legal reasons. We need a license that is trackable to the actual copyright holder in such cases, not to an anonymous Wikimedia user (accounts are considered anonymous here). And there is no evidence of free license at Pinterest. Also, if you are not the photographer who made the original photo, claiming {{Own}} authorship is against our rules and illegal. In the case of a copy of original work, there is no copyright and no authorship associated to the copying process. Only the original copyright applies. As noted above: it is irrelevant who own s the original work and all its copies. The copyright holder is one: the same for all of them. Ankry (talk) 15:51, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Have you read what is declared when using Template:Own? A company cannot grant a license itself. A representative has to act on behalf of the company. And we have to verify their authorisation to confirm that the license is valid. License is a legal contract that binds both sides even if its subjest is a single photo. Dealing with personal copyright is simpler. Ankry (talk) 15:39, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

This permission would also have to include commercial reuse and creating of derivative works of the logo.

I'd like to note that copyright is usually held by the original photographer and not by the person depicted. So the licence granted by Dr Dutton at that site may be invalid. De728631 (talk) 18:38, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
@E.G.Overbey: How did it come about that you claim to own the copyright? Thuresson (talk) 21:04, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

 Not done no evidence of a valid license and no response from the requester. Ankry (talk) 17:43, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

File:Zion with mic.jpg

Please would you undelete this file temporarily.

I am in the process of contacting the photographer / copyright holder to talk them through making a permission statement as per https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Email_templates#Email_message_template_for_release_of_rights_to_a_file after which the picture should be legitimate for use on Wikipedia etc. (I have explained that just saying "yeah it's OK to use it" doesn't satisfy wikimedia/wikipedia's copyright requirements :-))

 Oppose We need to wait for said permission statement to be processed by our volunteer email team after it has actually been sent. De728631 (talk) 18:40, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

I am the copyright holder in this case. I uploaded the image myself, as that seemed to be the simplest way to grant permission (I have also CC licensed it on Flickr). However my upload has been deleted - as a copyright violation File:Zion Lights.jpg. I have appealed that below. Adders (talk) 20:31, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
@Adders: On-wiki license declaration works only for unpublished images. And the non-commercial license at Flickr is not acceptable for Wikimedia Commons. Ankry (talk) 14:45, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

 Not done per above: OTRS needed. Ankry (talk) 16:21, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

File:Rolf P. Knierim headshot.jpg

Greetings. I am writing to request undeletion of this file, Rolf P. Knierim headshot.jpg as soon as possible. A representative of the copyright holder has now submitted the license using the Wikimedia OTRS release generator, which I hope you can see in the system so that the image can be undeleted. Please see that has been transmitted and then undelete. I'm hoping the file can be returned to the Commons as soon as possible so that it can be used for the relevant Wikipedia page. I was at the copyright holder location with the representative when I uploaded the scan and was given prior agreement that they provide the necessary Creative Commons license. They have now submitted it through the release generator today. Thank you so much for your prompt attention in this matter. --Bmamk (talk) 00:44, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

  •  Oppose If a free license has been sent to OTRS, then the file will be restored automatically when and if the email is received, processed, and approved. Note that OTRS, like Commons, is entirely staffed by volunteers, and, also like Commons, is shorthanded, so it may be close to 18 days before the email is processed and the file is restored.
If the message was sent to the English language version of OTRS and the email has been properly received there the sender will receive an automatic reply with the ticket number. If the sender has not had a reply, please check that it was sent correctly and try again. Other language versions may or may not provide the automatic reply.
