Request for Image Removal

Hello,

I am not sure if I am reaching the correct person or doing this right (so excuse me if I made a mistake), but I wanted to request the removal of the following images due to personal privacy concerns. Since this picture was taken, I was unaware at the time that the images would be publicly posted in this manner, and I was merely a guest at the event, not a notable attendee at South by Southwest.

Thank you very much. I appreciate your understanding and assistance in this matter.

Have a great day! Andrea Rampone

P.S. Here are the pictures I would like to request be removed:

Hi @Rampone: Thanks for reaching out. I'll work on getting those removed. ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 08:09, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Response to WLM-US invite

The photo I posted was taken by me of the NATIONAL IWO JIMA MEMORIAL. As such, I do not need permission from the artist. It is a NATIONAL MEMORIAL. by this person's standards, no one could post photos of the same statue in Arlington, the Statue of Liberty, the Vietnam Wall, etc. https://iwojimamemorial.org/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lois Imbriano Barber (talk • contribs) 12:24, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Monument of the flag raising on Iwo Jima on the grounds of the U. S. Marine Base, Quantico, VA. Public Domain - This item is in the public domain and can be used freely without further permission.

Hi @Lois Imbriano Barber: Thank you for your contribution. The discussion regarding the copyright of photos of the National Iwo Jima Memorial is located at Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:National Iwo Jima Memorial - that's where you can discuss and make your case.

That being said, the National Iwo Jima Memorial is likely indeed copyrighted and we cannot host photos of it. The memorial was dedicated in 1995, so unless the sculptor explicitly released their work into the public domain or under a free license, we're out of luck. Even though you took the photo, the underlying artwork you took a photo of carries its own copyright, and unfortunately in the United States we do not have freedom of panorama for publicly displayed artworks. Note that the monument you linked to at the Truman Library is of a similar but different, older sculpture at the U. S. Marine Base in Quantico. ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 18:43, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WLM US

Kevin, for this year, I was thinking we could award barnstars to the top 10 of WLM US. What do you think?

Ktkvtsh (talk) 21:51, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ktkvtsh: Cool! Thanks for putting that together. Yea, let's do it when we announce the winners. On the file page, be sure to list the sources used for that image (WLM logo, barnstar, shield). ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 08:03, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok will do. The shield is public domain from the US Government. Ktkvtsh (talk) 14:06, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your most memorable shot of 2024

Happy New Year! As always at the beginning of the new year, I'm inviting you to share your most memorable shot of the past year. Which of your photos stood out in 2024? Which image created special memories that you'd like to share with others? On behalf of the Commons Photographers User Group I wish you, your family, and your friends all the best for 2025. Warmly, --Ailura (talk) 18:05, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Categories for Wiki Loves Monuments in New York

Hello, Kevin. I'm working on renaming categories related to New York state and New York City, in line with the discussion at Commons:Categories for discussion/2017/03/Category:New York. In the process of doing this, I saw the subcategories under Category:Wiki Loves Monuments in New York (state). Since you created some of the recent ones, I'd like your input on whether it would cause a problem to rename these. As an example:

old name: Category:Images from Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in New York
new name: Category:Images from Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in New York (state)

Do you think there would be any problem with renaming these categories? Thanks. -- Auntof6 (talk) 17:26, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Auntof6: I think that should be fine! The category name will just need to be updated in all the Wiki Loves Monuments 2016-2024 templates (e.g. Template:Wiki Loves Monuments 2016). Thanks for checking! ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 19:17, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I'll take care of that when I time to concentrate on what I'm doing! -- Auntof6 (talk) 02:46, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
