Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Agrahamt!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Thanks for uploading File:Coffret d'archives contenant le plan scénographique de Lyon vers 1550.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.

Yours sincerely, Yann (talk) 15:02, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks Yann! It was a derivative still image from a short Youtube video published by the Archives Municipales de Lyon at youtu.be/A9wLTJhlksI?si=hQJ9jDMuKZeKgkRI&t=133

I believe that all information produced by the Archives is now completely free and available to use with attribution, and I did attribute the video source to them. I could include their watermark if that would help.

Here is their page on reuse, https://recherches.archives-lyon.fr/page/reproduire-et-reutiliser-des-documents

followed by a translation of relevant information (I believe):

"The reuse of publicly communicable AML information is now free and unrestricted, whatever the uses .

This means that you are free to:

share public information : copy, distribute and use this information;

create from this information;

adapt them : modify, transform and build from this information;

as long as you mention the source  : City of Lyon, Municipal Archives, author if identified, reference . This mention is obligatory ."

If I am correct in this, can the image be reinstated, or do i have to do something else?

Thanks, Andrew Taylor Agrahamt (talk) 10:49, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi Yann,

Please tell me what more I need to do to get the image reinstated, must I reimport it?

Again, the AML's (creator organization's) rights page says that ""The reuse of publicly communicable AML information is now free and unrestricted, whatever the uses. That means my publishing the still from their video is fair use, and the image should be allowable in Wikimedia.

Thanks, Andrew Agrahamt (talk) 20:54, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

I don't know why I received no response, since I explained that it is fair use and allowed by the creating organization. This type of nitpicking simply results in things being unjustifiably removed, even when they are not creative work. There is no copyright issue here regardless, it's just a still image showing something, not creative. Agrahamt (talk) 12:29, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
