I was going to use it on the German Wikipedia as part of the artist's Entry. -- Micrologist (talk) 16:26, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Leider ist der Upload von Album-Covers oder dergleichen auf Commons nicht gestattet. Commons ist ein Projekt ausschließlich für Freie Inhalte, alle Mediendateien und Texte in Wikimedia-Projekten müssen frei sein so dass Jeder sie verwenden kann, jederzeit, überall und zu jedem Zweck einschließlich kommerzieller Zwecke.

Question on Fair Use Rationale for Sculpture

Hello Martin, I was going to upload an image of Rachel the unofficial mascot of the Pike Place Market, Seattle, Washington. As you can see from the wikipedia piece on the Market (under 'Rachel and Pigs on Parade'), the sculpture of Rachel the Pig was created by a local artist and a fair use rationale is required. [1] I have an image of Rachel the Pig that I took and would like to use on the entry, but am unsure of how to write the qualification for Fair Use Rationale. (It's a good image and would go well with the piece, I think.) Should I go ahead and upload my image and let you have a look? Thanks for any guidance you might be able to give. Best, MarmadukePercy (talk) 21:51, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

fair use in any form is not accepted on Commons, there is no "fair use rational" on Commons. A photo of any other artistic work (sculpture, painting, even a toy, a television screen, a book or architectural work including e.g. office buildings) is a derivative work. The sculpture must be public domain by law due to copyright expiration (e.g. 70 years following the sculptors death) or there must be an exemption in copyright law called freedom of panorama. This is not the case for the U.S., there is no freedom of panorama for works other then architecture. So we cannot upload any photographs of any protected work created by some other artist here to Commons without this artists written permission that they agree to the licensing of the photo. --Martin H. (talk) 22:07, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

P.s.: Thats why en:File:Pike Place Piggy 2008.JPG is under fair use on en.wp, the reasoning there is clear: there is no freedom of panorama for statues in the United States. As such, this work must be considered non-free. Non-free content or fair use isnt what Commons is looking for. Free content only here. --Martin H. (talk) 22:11, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Many thanks for your comprehensive explanation. MarmadukePercy (talk) 22:15, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Closing Meg Whitman head shot deletion discussion

I accept any decision of the community regardless off reasons. But would appreciate your reason for the closure of the deletion discussion.

There are several things wrong with that image. Not being one of the two CC licenses accepted as described in Wikicommons first steps is one reason I argue for the deletion discussion. Whether that is a simple guideline that can be ignored or a set policy must be a matter to debate to understand what all the policies mean together. No explanation is being given.

It states that care must be taken to even e-mail through flicker accounts if necessary to get the needed information to keep the image within licensing guidelines here. I understand that CC 2.0 Generic is the old version of CC-by-3.0. Guidelines state that all flicker uploads are released treated as 3.0. That difference is not apparent to me but the guideline is. It states that flickr uploads are to be licensed as one of the two 3.0 versions of CC the only Creative Commons license accepted by Wikimedia commons. And that the copyright holder be aware of this and approve.

The Meg Whitman Headshot is attributed (summary does give attribution and can be seen as the required attribution from the author), It does have a release in a CC License but requires the author and original upload to agree that the license be released and treated as 3.0. This does not appear to have been done but that doesn't mean it wasn't. Flickr review guidelines state that OTRS may be need in many cases, but no OTRS is indicated.

Finaly, there is no explanation as to why the second copyrighted image released on the same site from the same member does not override the CC. If this is because we are giving CC license the weight on the decision I can understand that. Err on the part of the most free license is something I am aware of, seen before in discussions and agree can live with if it is the consensus of the community.

I began the original deletion request on THIS upload. However this is not the only version of the image uploaded here from flickr. The copyrighted version showed up a number of times.

I saw the complaint from Sanderstien about how the original uploader is annoyed and dismiss that claim. Accusations of another being annoyed is not relevent since it is not the actual person making the claim and good faith attempt to clarify the wishes of the original Flickr uploader should not be painted as annoying. I did not attempt personal communication as I am not a flickr reviewer, admin or represetative of Wiki. Guidelines are clear. Requests can be made directly to suggest OTRS. I could also request OTRS through wiki myself, but wanted a community open consensus.....But this is not the image or uploader in question.

This particular debate had it's tag removed, and had an IP user retag it as speedy delete. All things I had reverted with edit summary and full explanation.

If I am incorrect the sky will not fall in. But it does require some explanation, some debate and descussion or we are not really using consensus. It becoms a simple "Closing this debate. You are wrong. Period". And that is hard for any wiki editor to understand.--Amadscientist (talk) 22:58, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Can you please make shorter comments? Flickr offers a set of licenses, cc-by-2.0 is one of the two accepted license for images from flickr with default licensing, the other is cc-by-sa-2.0, see Commons:Flickr files and the license selection drop down in http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=fromflickr. This file was validly licensed by the copyright holder on flickr under cc-by-2.0 and transfered under the conditions of that license to Commons as tousends of other images in Category:Files from Flickr are. The opposite: Files on flickr are never licensed under any 3.0 license as this license does not exist in flickr universe, the only exception are personal agreements. Users can ask flickr users - as well as other photo comunities on the web - to license their works, this written conversation must go to COM:OTRS and can result in an image from flickr licensed under cc-..3.0 licenses (example File:KellyMacdonaldOct07.jpg) while the original file on flickr is licensed different, the copyright holder can publish his work under different licenses on different places. Besides such personal agreements all other free content from flickr is licensed under 2.0 licenses. So what exactly is the problem? --Martin H. (talk) 12:40, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Delete!

Hello Martin! You could delete this image? Why is it being used constantly by User Kdeira. Truu (talk) 09:18, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

(1) Thanks mattbuck for catching this from my talkarchive (2) its already deleted, maybe this is one of the two(?) Raven Symone sockpuppets I know. --Martin H. (talk) 12:46, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Correct Tagging for Licensing Section

Hello Martin, What would be the correct way of tagging the licensing section when uploading company logos and product packaging images without having copyright issues. The images are ours but we are being flagged for copyright issues that we are unsure how to resolve. Thank You.

Every media file on Commons must be published under a free license voluntarily by the copyright holder. You have to obtain written permission from the copyright holder who has to agree to a license, see Commons:Copyright tags for a selection. Commons proposes multilicensing with GFDL and Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0, thats one of the license options in the license selection drop down in the upload form. The written permission from the copyright holder must go to OTRS (a template for a declaration of consent can be found on that page). --Martin H. (talk) 21:47, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

A question?

The images I'm loading of flickr are illegal? Let me know if they are! Truu (talk) 01:51, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Only those two with the video screen in focus. The video screen is not free and was by far not de minimis. --Martin H. (talk) 01:52, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Dummdickköpfigkeit

..das ist nicht etwa ein PA meinerseits, sondern ein Zitat (du hast mich so bezeichnet [2]). Schau mal das erste unterstrichene Wort an, und komm wieder runter von da wo du jetzt bist. Schönen Gruß aus Moskau --Allesmüller (talk) 02:02, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Andere Materialien legislativen, administrativen und judicialen Characters, völlig Richtig. Eine Karte hat keinen solchen Charakter, es besteht kein öffentliches Interesse z.B. eines nicht durch das urheberrecht behinderten Rechtsverkehrs, der Nichtanwendbarkeit von Gesetzestexten da das Urheberrecht die Zitation von Gesetzen verbietet etc. Sachen sind frei vom Urheberrecht weil das Gemeinwohl es erfordert (nicht weil jemand es möchte oder weil ein Staat großzügig ist, sondern weil es für den ungehinderten Rechtsverhekr erforderlich ist) dass ist das dahinterstehende Konzept. --Martin H. (talk) 09:52, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Das Problem scheinen deine Sprachkenntnisse zu sein. Auf dem Template in Englisch ([3]) geht es vielleicht einfacher: "including", d.h. "einschließlich." --Allesmüller (talk) 10:24, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Dein Problem scheint zu sein, dass du einen Satz - das sind die Worte zwischen zwei Punkten, hier sogar nur ein Nebensatz zwischen zwei Kommata - nicht als zwingende Einheit verstehst. "other materials" und "legislative, administrative and judicial character" gehört zwingend zusammen, es geht um Dokumente im öffentlichen Interesse: Orden dürfen nicht getragen werden wenn das Layout der Orden durch Urheberrecht geschützt ist, Briefmarken können nur eingeschränkt verwendet werden wenn das Aussehen der Briefmarke geschützt ist, Verordnungen können nicht durchgesetzt werden wenn sie nicht öffentlich vorgelesen werden dürfen, Gesetze nutzen nichts, wenn sie nicht ausgesprochen werden dürfen und so weiter. Wir sprechen hier weder von einem militärischen Interesse noch von einem Recht der Bürger auf alles Zugriff zu haben was die Regierung macht oder alles verwenden zu dürfen was die Regierung erstellt (wie in den USA der Fall wo, einfach gesagt, alles mit Steuergeldern bezahlte nicht durch Urheberrecht schützbar ist). Ferner, ich hoffe wenigstens das ist klar, sprechen wir hier auf Commons nicht von einer Nutzung zu Bildungszwecken sondern von freier Nutzung - also von kommerzieller Nutzung. Wir sprechen über das individuelle Recht des Autoren/der Autoren das dieser/diese verliert/en wenn ein öffentliches Interesse legisliativer, administrativer oder richtlicher Natur dieses erfordert. Ein solches Interesse, dass eine Verneinung des Urheberrechts rechtfertigt besteht hier nicht. Das Urheberrecht ist auch noch nicht abgelaufen. --Martin H. (talk) 10:33, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Also auf Russisch (und ich denke auch in der englischen Übersetzung) ist es ziemlich klar: Offizielle Regierungsdokumente. Einschliesslich Gesetze usw und andere juristische Texte. Wahrscheinlich hat man das "einschliesslich" angefügt, weil jene nicht von der Regierung kommen, sondern vom Parlament oder den Gerichten. Ob in casu der Urheber (Generalstab der Sowjetarmee) überhaupt einen Rechtsnachfolger hat, lasse ich offen, will hier niemanden noch mehr verwirren. Es ist auch egal. Man muss einfach das Gesetz lesen. --Allesmüller (talk) 10:49, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Es ist mir zu blöd hier schon wieder eine Diskussion zu starten. Warum lässt du die Adjektive weg? Das ist unanständig. Werke "законодательного, административного и судебного характера" sind gemeinfrei, ein solches Werk liegt hier nicht vor. Ob ein Rechtsnachfolger besteht oder nicht ist völlig schnuppe, das Werk ist schlichtweg nicht gemeinfrei. Ich hoffe, dass du dir die Mühe machst tatsächlich mal richtig zu lesen und nicht versucht Worte so zu drehen oder wegzulassen damit deine Version irgendwie passt. Wir haben hier ein vorbeugendes Prinzip, dass heißt die Argumente müssen 100% stimmen, nicht 99% oder vielleicht oder im Rahmen des Möglichen, die Nachweispflicht liegt bei dir. Du bist nicht zum lesen oder verstehen verpflichtet und kannst dir deine eigene spekulative Meinung bilden, ich möchte mir die aus deiner Verdreherei resultierenden Schlussfolgerungen aber nicht anhören müssen, daher an dieser Stelle: EOD auf dieser Seite. Ich habe meinen Löschantrag gestellt damit andere Entscheiden können, der Löschantrag steht dir als Diskussionsforum offen. Solange du nicht anfängst dir anzumaßen, du könntest über den Ausgang der Löschdiskussion entscheiden und diese für beendet erklären ist mir egal wie lange es dauert, bis endlich jemand darauf aufmerksam wird. Es hat mich gefreut, dass dir nach zwei Monaten aufgefallen ist, dass deine Behauptung die Karte sei vom Rechteinhaber unter Creative Commons veröffentlich worden vielleicht nicht so ganz richtig ist und du den Unsinn endlich entfernt hast. Leider zeigt mir die Lange Zeit aber auch, wie viel Wert du auf die geforderte 100%ige Genauigkeit legst. --Martin H. (talk) 18:06, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Ich bin bitteschön nicht unanständig. Aber die Grammatik ist eindeutig: öffentliche Dokumente ("official documents", "официальные документы") sind gemeinfrei. Einschließlich ("including", "в том") Gesetze, juristische Texte, Gerichtsentscheidungen usw. ("laws, other legal texts, judicial decisions", "материалы законодательного, административного и судебного характера"). Vielleicht hilft es, wenn Du die Sache mal sorgfältig von einem Dritten beurteilen lässt. Es wäre hilfreich, besagte Person spreche russisch. Sorgfältig zu sein ist ja ok, bitte verzeihe mir mein Missgeschick mit der CC-Lizenz. Hat nichts m it dem Gesetzestext zu tun. --Allesmüller (talk) 21:34, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Offizielle Dokumente sind gemeinfrei soweit genannt... alles andere ist erstmal als nicht frei anzunehmen. Andere Dokumente, solche mit besagtem Charakter sind frei. Einen solchen Charakter hat deine Karte nicht. Vielleicht liegt das Problem auch tiefer und verstehst den Begriff "offiziell" völlig falsch und viel zu breit? Eine Definition was der Gesetzgeber meint findest du im Urheberrecht von 1993, eine theoretische Begründung warum sowas nicht geschützt ist habe ich oben gegeben. --Martin H. (talk) 22:02, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Eben nicht "soweit genannt", sondern "einschließlich". Es ist im Gesetz sogar definiert, was der Gesetzgeber unter "ofizielle Dokumente" versteht: "официальные документы государственных органов и органов местного самоуправления муниципальных образований" (das heisst alles, was von irgendwelchen Behörden inkl. lokalen Behörden kommt). Das Gesetz ist übrigens von 2006, nicht 1993. --Allesmüller (talk) 04:58, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Ok, dann haben wir den Grund, du versteht den Begriff "offizielles Dokument" völlig falsch. --Martin H. (talk) 10:49, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Habe eine Arbeitskollegin gefragt, russische Juristin. Die versteht es offenbar auch "völlig falsch". Ich werde ihr gerne von dir ausrichten, sie sei ein dummdickköpfiger Herr Schlauschlau. --Allesmüller (talk) 11:14, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Es kann nicht wahr sein, du gehst mir unglaublich auf die Nerven. Du behauptest, eine Landkarte hat eine gesetzgebende oder administrative Natur vergleichbar eines Richterspruches oder eines Erlasses während sich der Rest der Community fragt, ob überhaupt Wappen von den Regeln eingeschlossen sind oder ob diese offizell genug sind, bitte, bleib bei deiner Meinung. Es ist falsch und ein Blick in Category:PD-RU-exempt zeigt ganz klar, dass du der erste bist der auf die Idee kommt dass jedes amtliche Werk gleich offiziellen Charakter hat. Ich sagte oben bereits EOD. Das heißt: Ende der Diskussion auf dieser Seite. --Martin H. (talk) 11:58, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Und weil ich dir den Link zu der Kategorie gegeben habe: die 4. Datei in der Kategorie ist auch eine Karte, File:01 01 Map of borders of Volgograd (22.03.2005—25.06.2006).jpg, sie ist gemeinfrei weil sie tatsächlich Teil eines offiziellen Werkes ist, nämlich Teil eines Gesetzes. Das ist nunmal die Anforderung und so wurde es auch im Kontext der Wikipedia-Diskussionen genannt die ich früher mal verlinkt habe. --Martin H. (talk) 12:01, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

EOD einverstanden. Und nein, ich habe nicht behauptet die Karte habe gesetzgeberische Qualitäten. Ich behaupte nur, sie sei ein offizielles Dokument. Weil sie eben vom Generalstab der Sowjetarmee kam. Und arbeite mal ein bisschen an deinen Umfangsformen. --Allesmüller (talk) 15:20, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Deleted files

Hi,I just noticed that you deleted, in late April, two images ("File:Cepotina 03.jpg" and "File:Cepotina 002.jpg") I uploaded as Copyright violation.

If it`s Copyright violation,then they should be deleted,but I uploaded it,when I saw this one,which was taken from the same page on oficial site of Serbian Ministry of Defense.

Thank you for your time, CrniBombarder!!! (talk) 11:40, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Deleted, not covered by the copyright exemption. --Martin H. (talk) 17:47, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

These images can?

Hello, I wondered whether Commons accepts this image?

I was also wondering if the commons accepts images of this flickr? Truu (talk) 19:11, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

The photo of the poster is not ok because the poster is not free and too large, see COM:DM again, the photos of http://www.flickr.com/photos/chicagofabulous/4639136829/ are not ok because chicagofabulous is not the author but only a reuser who added wrong licenses on Flickr, we have chicagofabulous listed in Commons:Questionable Flickr images/Users. So sorry, both are not ok. --Martin H. (talk) 19:13, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Undeletion

Hi Martin H.,

Would you be so kind and undelete Main Page/pano? It seems easier to update it than to figure out how it had been. I was going to ask Evil IP, but he wouldn't be able to do it now. -- User:Docu at 04:09, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Please move to user namespace e.g. if not longer needed. At the moment it is difficult to have a temporary maintenance page in gallery namespace. --Martin H. (talk) 11:01, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. I'm afraid it might break its layout if it's transcluded from any other namespace, but I can move it out of gallery namespace on Friday. BTW, would you do the edit request and the page protections outlined here as well? -- User:Docu at 11:59, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

I set my clock and will add "switch" on midnight or short before if not done by someone else. As said before: Im not an expert with this, I have no problems to edit templates e.g. but the mainpage is something different. --Martin H. (talk) 14:22, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Ok, someone already did ;) --Martin H. (talk) 14:22, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

File:Álvaro_Dias,_February_2007_-_1901FP408.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

File:Mauné Escamilla 1966.jpg

Hello, I speak on behalf of the user Josep Xicota which cannot write in English. Under the Spanish intellectual law there is a simple photography (photography without artistic value) and whose copyright expires 25 years after its realization.

http://civil.udg.es/normacivil/estatal/reals/Lpi.html TÍTULO V Protección de las meras fotografías Artículo 128. De las meras fotografías Quien realice una fotografía u otra reproducción obtenida por procedimiento análogo a aquélla, cuando ni una ni otra tengan el carácter de obras protegidas en el Libro I, goza del derecho exclusivo de autorizar su reproducción, distribución y comunicación pública, en los mismos términos reconocidos en la presente Ley a los autores de obras fotográficas. Este derecho tendrá una duración de veinticinco años computados desde el día 1 de enero del año siguiente a la fecha de realización de la fotografía o reproducción.

TITLE V Protection of simple photographs Article 128. Of the ordinary photographs Whoever engages in a photograph or other reproduction obtained by a process analogous to it, when neither having the character of protected works in Book I, has the exclusive right to authorize reproduction, distribution and public communication, in the same terms recognized this Act to the authors of photographic works. This right shall last twenty-five years counted from the 1st January of the year following the date of taking of the photograph or reproduction.

Some of the photos that have been removed are of unknown authorship and now are the property from the heirs of ca:Mauna Florenci i Marimont. These photos in my opinion fall into the category of ordinary photographs and their copyright has expired.

Cameta (talk) 22:02, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

The template saying that was removed from Commons long time ago, see Template talk:PD-Spain-Simple. Its not good, that an IP user now tried to reinstaded that against our policy and hidden in a strange and unsourced {{PD-because}} rational. This files are not public domain. Additional the uploads where claimed as beeing "simple photographs" without any difference. You cant say, an professional portrait photograph is a simple photo, thats the one of the most skilfull kinds of photography, it cant be "to simple for copyright". Thats a lame excuse, this files are not public domain and not ok on Commons. --Martin H. (talk) 23:20, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for the explanation.

As I just read the pictures are not public domain, but because the photos are of unknown authorship we have a copyrighted work for which the copyright owner cannot be identified and contacted: an en:orphan work. I'll explain him to don't upload these files. Cameta (talk) 09:00, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

If the author is verifiably unknown the file will be public domain 70 years following its anonymous or pseudonymous publication. See COM:L#European_copyright_law. A reference to the publication (source) is required then. --Martin H. (talk) 09:42, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Somali Presidents

Hello. I don't know why you keep tagging these images for deletion. I already explained that they were originally taken in Somalia by the Somali government and have since fallen into the public domain. This is why they are featured on all sorts of Somali websites, some of which even tag them with their own proprietary logos (e.g. this news website) i.e. because they are in the public domain. Somalia also has no existing copyright relations with the United States or any copyright protection for that matter. PD-URAA stipulates that: {{PD-URAA}} All of its conditions have been met. Again, with regard to the File:Abdirashid Ali Shermarke.jpg image:

This file is in the public domain because it was published in Somalia before 1978 (the President depicted in it was assassinated in 1969). Somalia has no copyright relations or signed treaties of any kind with the United States, making the photo in question not copyrighted in the U.S.. Somalia is also not a World Trade Organization (WTO) member (1), and is a party to neither the Berne convention nor the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) (2). Due to the civil war in the country, there is also no copyright protection.

And with the regard to the File:Pres Adan Abdulle Osman.jpg image:

This file is in the public domain because it was published in Somalia before 1978, during the tenure of the nation's first President (depicted in image), who was born in 1908 and was in office from 1960-1967. Somalia has no copyright relations or signed treaties of any kind with the United States, making the photo in question not copyrighted in the U.S.. Somalia is also not a World Trade Organization (WTO) member (1), and is a party to neither the Berne convention nor the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) (2). Due to the civil war in the country, there is also no copyright protection.

The COM:EI policy page you directed me to also indicates that "there are different ways of giving source information" and then lists several of those ways, only one of which pertains to the situation at hand since these images are in the public domain:

"For content which is in the public domain, it is important to know the date the content was created to judge whether its copyright has truly expired already."

And we of course know the date the content was published (i.e. before 1978) for the reasons already explained above. Regards, Middayexpress (talk) 17:26, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

The requirement is simple. You say "it was published in Somalia before..." - provide a reliable source for that. You say, that all requirements have been met and repeat the requirements with sources to the legal documents, but you still not provide a source for the image. Its important for any reuser to have evidence, that it was indeed published in Somalia so that it is indeed public domain. Provide a publication to demonstrate, that it was first published in Somalia and that all the above can apply, no reason to repeat the requirements over and over. --Martin H. (talk) 17:34, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

There is no such Wikipedia policy which insists on what you and only you are insisting on above. In fact, the relevant Source section of the actual policy you yourself pointed me to -- COM:EI -- only indicates that "for content which is in the public domain, it is important to know the date the content was created to judge whether its copyright has truly expired already." All materials published in Somalia are in the public domain since there is no copyright protection, as I have already pointed out several times before. Now you ask me to prove as well when the images were published? Did you not read when I mentioned that one of the image's subject was killed a good decade before the 1978 date that PD-URAA specifies? Or when I explained that the other image's subject's tenure as President likewise ended over a decade before the relevant 1978 date and that he was born in 1908 (and therefore would have been 77 years old in 1978 -- does this look like a 77 year old man to you?)? Did you even read let alone absorb what I wrote? I mean, you sure responded back as fast as humanly possible (i.e. knee-jerk reverted), so it's highly doubtful that you did. Like all other editors on Commons, I only answer to actual policies. So if you have any actual policies that support what you claim and/or counterindicate what COM:EI itself specifies, do produce them (and by produce, I mean quote the relevant passages, as I have done above with COM:EI; don't just vaguely point me to them). Otherwise, you are delete-tagging these images for no legitimate reason. Middayexpress (talk) 18:04, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

• "to judge whether its copyright has truly expired already" - the requirement for this is the time and location of publication. Yes, you have to provide a publication name/citation.
• You say, it was created by the government - after you finaly removed your copyfraud, thanks - how do you know? What is your source? It cant be so difficult to simply say your clear-cut source confirming at least the information that it was created by that government and not by a french photographer for a british newspaper.
• Not even an immidate source is listed, does the image suddenly appeared on your computer? From all I learned in my life I can exclude such miracles.

--Martin H. (talk) 18:15, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

• Uh, that's a fragment of the quote I already posted above that goes "for content which is in the public domain, it is important to know the date the content was created to judge whether its copyright has truly expired already." You forgot the underlined part, which I've already more than addressed above.
• It's clear by now that you have quite a bit of trouble with civility and assuming good faith, core Wikipedia policies. This is the second time you are referring to my edits with the corny neologism "copyfraud". And this is likewise the second time I am telling you that COM:EI does not require what you have indicated just now, as can clearly be seen in that quote above from the relevant section in it. Only you do, and Commons does not function according to your say-so or whims.
• You still have yet to quote any policy supporting your incessant delete-tagging of these images. As I have already demonstrated above, quoting the actual relevant part of the Source section of the COM:EI policy you yourself pointed me to, you are literally inventing your own terms for what is and is not admissible as a Commons file.

why did you delete my photo with my girlfriend (File:Kissing by Teen 1.jpg)? I just wanted to donate photographs of my work? While other photographs were donated photos of my friends.

Link to DR's

Hi! It seems you have a talent for finding Flickr washing. But when you delete images it would be nice if you linked to the DR or wherever the proof is. Example:

• (Deletion log); 00:18 . . Martin H. (talk | contribs | block) deleted "File:Young Divas at Kmart 2.jpg" (flickr washing)

That makes it easier for others to check and learn. --MGA73 (talk) 06:24, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

See the file history of File:Young Divas at Kmart 2.jpg and the edit from May 2 2009. --Martin H. (talk) 11:19, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Albert "Bert" Hodgkinson

Martin: you refused my photo of Albert Hodgkinson because it didn't have a source or author name. This photo was given to me by his daughter Lilian Hodgkinson Bruce (my mother) as belonging to her. I have her explicit consent to upload it to Wikipedia. Neither I nor she knows where or when the photo was taken, nor by whom, except that it was a studio shot during the war when Albert was still a private, ie 1915, The studio name on the back is illegible. What to do? Dr Peter Bruce

Personal collection isnt a sufficient sourcing. Your explanation above opens the way to an argumentation that may lead to the conclusion, that the file is {{PD-UK-unknown}}. I dont know however, how much research is required to fulfill the requirement of reasonable enquiry, maybe shortly writing down the history of the original negative and how it came to your personal collection is sufficient already. --Martin H.

Agency Logo

I am the public information officer for the agency page I created. When I viewed the page I saw you deleted the logo I uploaded. I have again uploaded and am using the image in the article. Please leave it. We are the sole entity using the logo and as the public information officer for the agency, I have permission to use it in this format. Thank you.

The author information is wrong and its questionable if permission is given. Does the copyright holder gave written permission that not only you but anyone can reuse the logo anywhere, anytime for every purpose including commercial reuse? This is a free content only project, permission that everyone (not only Wikipedia or you) can reuse the logo must be given vuluntarily from the copyright holder in written form. --Martin H.

Where does image jenni_muldaur.jpg come from?

Hi Martin, could you help me understand what I need to do to keep this file up? It's a snapshot from Jenni Muldaur's personal files taken by her friend Amanda Rowen. Not sure as to what I should specifically label it. Ringo1000 (talk) 18:28, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

The file is used on many places, e.g. http://amiestreet.com/music/jenni-muldaur/_recs/ and the album cover art http://www.stlblues.net/slim_jmuldaur_cd.htm. I wouldnt call this a snapshot taken by a friend. Its required now to provide true and correct source information including information on previous publication and copyright holder. Permission is required too, the photo was published on an album cover, so maybe the record lable is the copyright holder of the photo? --Martin H. (talk) 02:10, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

The file is from Jenni Muldaur's collection. Amanda Rowan is her god-daughter. The photo was taken at her house. I am a graphic designer. Jenni supplied me with this photo that I used to design her album cover with. The record was released through Jenni's music company, dandelion music. There is no copyright on this image. Ringo1000 (talk) 00:10, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

There always is copyright, except the copyright holder waived it (in written form). Please provide written permission form the copyright holder to our COM:OTRS. Refer to the exact filename so that it can be restored after permission arived. --Martin H. (talk) 00:12, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Martin, I sent the release/copyright form to Amanda Rowen, she signed and dated it and sent it back to me. I then forwarded it with her email header to the permissions-commons@wikimedia.org address. What do I do now? This notice is also appearing on her page. "This biography of a living person does not cite any references or sources. Please help by addingreliable sources. Contentious material about living people that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately. (June 2010)". How can I avoid this? Sorry, it seems I don't know what I'm doing. Help is appreciated. Ringo1000 (talk) 11:54, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

(Hope Martin doesn't mind my chiming in....) I've tagged the image as OTRS pending, so you don't need to do anything more about the image at this point. It's up to the volunteers who look after the OTRS queue to process it. As for the notice on Jenni's page on EN, what that means is that there's nothing to back up the statements made in the article. For instance, the article says she is the daughter of Geoff and Maria Muldaur... where did you originally read that? It says she toured as a back-up singer - where did you learn about that? That's what they're asking about. If you have any more questions about her article, leave me a note on my user page at en:User talk:Tabercil and I'll help you out.

Images upload from a Wikisource project

Hello Martin H., I need help to resolve a number of issues connected with the images of my work on Wikisource with the The Popular Science Monthly project. I uploaded 1,000+ images from this project to here and now I must upload and replace most of them. The replacement images are to be cleaned, further categorized and renamed to meet both the project's and the Commons' naming requirements.

1. The replacement process I tested was to upload the new image and de-link and delete the old. Is this the simplest and fastest way to go about it?
2. I also considered uploading them to Wikisource temporarily, (have them approved by one of the administrators interested in image quality,) and then transfer them to the Commons directly, but the toolserver transfer tool is currently disabled. Your input to devise the proper strategy would me most appreciated and there is no hurry.Ineuw talk page on en.ws 00:37, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

First of all, uploading free content/public domain files to another project is redundant work in any case. Upload directly to Commons. Second, im unexpirienced with batch uploads and not realy know what you mean with 'upload and replace most' of the uploads. If you have to upload a bunch of files ask the people at COM:BATCH or, if you have to do the same work again and again ask bot support at Commons:Bots/Work requests. If you just need to do some little cosmetic or corrective changes to your filenames you can ask to have the filemover permission granted on COM:RR. I dont think I can help you at the moment. --Martin H. (talk) 00:47, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for guiding me to requesting file renaming privileges. I didn't know that it existed. For the rest, please ignore. Ineuw talk page on en.ws 01:59, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

I would say: No. Because the watermark, because the website says © 2009 Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., http://www.flickr.com/people/kindofadraag/ Isnt Wal-Mart ;).

Problems...

Hello Martin, I'm Leopold and are several times that I am to be locked in as I was repeatedly accused of being a sock puppet of Leopold. I would continue to upload files on Wikimedia Commons as the ones I created so far that are created entirely by me! For example, all the ribbon bars that I created with the name of the ItalianBars I designed them all myself personally with window's program Paint :) I'm sorry that you deleted me because I am a hard working and meticulous to achieve. The current state of things I can not help more with my work on Wikimedia Commons, I am completely prevented even if it's something that I really like ... I'm sorry for you. FranzJosephI (talk) 12:12, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

You dont mention your dark side... Obviously after the block of User:Leopold you created sockpuppets and not only uploaded ribbon bars, but also a lot of stolen photographs. Thats the dark side. --Martin H. (talk) 11:59, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

File:Nueit-contarela.jpg

Hello, about File:Nueit-contarela.jpg. I am the author, and I am user:Morburre too. I received on my personal email the advice of your request. Of course I can use this personal email to explain all that to OTRS, but I'm tired of this narrow-minded bureaucracy (no personal offence, of couse)… So feel free to delete all my files, I don't need any explanation. Regards. Morburre (talk) 12:39, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Maybe you can bring some light in User_talk:Jimmy44#File:Antoine_de_Roquelaure.jpg? Thats how I found this. If it is you: No problem, didnt know this. --Martin H. (talk) 12:42, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Ok, the first Antoine de Roquelaure was "mine". I didn't noticed that. Il did it for a book, using the painting mentioned as documentation (in public domain !). The painting by Guérin has been reproduced by the engraving by Louis Hercule Sisco (the recent file:Antoine de Roquelaure). In the same book, I realized a portrait of Maurice Parisot, from the unique known photograph of the man, and after verifying that I could do this with reasonable risks (Parisot's relatives were OK and the photographer unknown). Then I made another portrait for Commons, using the same picture (and waiting to make another one more original) : this File :MauriceParisot.jpg is proposed to deletion and I agree : it's quite illegal ! Thanks. Morburre (talk) 14:21, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

I will likely not participate in the other discussions, please use the deletion request page. I was just interested in the first upload of the File:Antoine de Roquelaure.jpg image and thank you very much for the information. It wasnt easy to judge if your painting is an old painting or a recent - intersting how things make their way through the internet, this came from here - and how something can receive wrong interpretations quickly :) --Martin H.

Делай что хочешь придурок, ты меня достал. Почему я должен доказывать тебе, что фото с моим отцом не нуждаются в лицензировании. Ничтожество, ты уже посягаешь на фото героя войны Свилюкова. Чмо, ничего святого у тебя нет. Один холодный расчет. Не "понимайт" русский язык...? Найду на тебя управу. Мой заведующий кафедрой Константин Кульчицкий тоже достоин памяти, также как и Сапожников.

Written permission is required from that newspaper, the owner of copyrights. It doesnt matter who the person in the image is, nothing is free without a reason, the only valid reason here is that the copyright owner agreed to a free licensing.

Es gibt übrigens das Umbennennungsrecht ("Filemover"). Wenn du versprichst es vorsichtig und nur dort einzusetzen wo es nötig ist (z.B. Tipfehler, falsche Identifizierung - kosmetische Änderungen nur wenn die Datei gerade hochgeladen wurde!) kann ich dir das Recht geben, dann kannst du Dateien einfach wie Artikel umbennenen. Dabei wird immer eine Weiterleitung erstellt die bei einigen Einbindungen funktioniert, nicht aber bei allen (z.B. nicht in Infoboxen), so dass du Einbindungen immer nochmal prüfen musst. Siehe Commons:Dateien verschieben. --Martin H. (talk) 01:13, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Hallo Martin! Ja, das wäre wirklich großartig, wenn Du mich dafür freischalten könntest. Gerade bei den Bildern kommt es immer wieder einmal vor, dass in der Eile oder durch Unachtsamkeit einmal ein falscher Dateiname generiert wird. Als ich diese beiden Dateien erstmalig verwenden wollte, ist mir der Fehler ohnehin sofort aufgefallen, aber leider eben zu spät. Wie Du weißt, musste ich Dich zuvor auch schon zweimal um Verschiebungen ersuchen; auch einen anderen Com-Admin musste ich vorher schon einmal darum ersuchen. Ich würde mich also über den “file mover” sehr freuen. Und klar, dass ich diese Berechtigung nicht missbräuchlich einsetzen werde. – Liebe Grüße Steindy (talk) 09:06, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Hab deinen Status geändert, siehe log. Bei fragen kannst du dich gerne an mich wenden, beim Umbenennen wie gesagt vorsichtig sein: (1) da du kein Admin bist kannst du die Erstellung einer Weiterleitung nicht unterdrücken da dass einer Löschung entspricht. Wenn du eine Weiterleitung löschen möchtest (da z.B. kurz nach upload gemerkt, dass Spielername falsch war) musst du auf der Redirect-Seite einen Schnelllöschantrag stellen. (2) Möglichst nicht mehrmals umbenennen da sonst doppelte Weiterleitungen entstehen, zurückverschieben kannst du glaube ich auch nicht, da du dafür die Weiterleitung überschreiben müsstest was ja wieder einer Löschung gleichkäme. --Martin H. (talk) 09:15, 23 June 2010 (UTC) Achso, Autopatroler habe ich auch aktiviert, dass hat aber auf deine Bearbeitungen keinen Einfluss, nur auf das kleine rote Ausrufezeichen in Special:RecentChanges, siehe Template:Autopatrolgiven für Informationen. --Martin H. (talk) 09:17, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Nochmals ganz herzlichen Dank Martin! Ich kann Dir versprechen, dass ich damit höchst sorgsam und vorsichtig umgehen werde. Jedenfalls wird mir die Berechtigung sehr helfen, wenn ich wieder einmal irgendwo einen Fehler einbaue. Bei Fragen komme ich gerne auf Dein Angebot zurück. – Liebe Grüße Steindy (talk) 23:21, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Because boundaries of Kosovo is same, cities, towns and roads too... I don't want to argue anything. Its my creation. I used CorelDRAW and Adobe Photoshop programes. Can they be sources? I had controled lots of different map for creating it. Also I have got many Kosovo map base. Blank bases... Hiung-Nu (Talk) 10:00, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

the Italian it:Template:Screenshot film is not equivalent to Template:PD-old! The author of the movie (or the last surviving author of many authors) is not dead for 70 years as written in Template:PD-old. The 20 years claim of it.wp isnt accepted on Commons, so this file ok on it.wp but it is not ok to move this file to Commons.

Deletions

Don't you think you are exaggerating by deleting files which have been submitted to ORTS for review. You are right to ask for sources, but at least have the decency to give me time to compile the information and to post it.

I can really not understand why you love this dictatorial attitude and try to show off how smart you are and how powerful you are and that you can do anything you like. I would kindly request you to refrain from such attitudes.

I do not want to take this dispute further, but this is the second time you abuse your prerogatives.Afil (talk) 02:29, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Exploration Place

Hello,

I am an employee at Exploration Place and thus, working on the EP Wikipedia page. I would like to know why you marked the picture of the building and of Chirpie as copyrighted? EP uses the picture of the building all the time. Also, Chirpie is our creation and I know that his picture is for our use. I am not completely familiar with Wikipedia or Wikimedia but any information would be helpful.

Thank you,

File:Tiffinohioskyline.jpg

Thanks for resolving this deletion discussion quickly. I visited Tiffin today, so I've created a city category for it in preparation for uploading lots of images; when I saw this photo, I immediately knew that something was wrong. Thanks, too, for pointing out that it was Melbourne; I just find it amazing that someone would make such an absurd claim. Nyttend (talk) 03:47, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Me too, thats vandalism. However, because it was obvious for this small town (and because something like that not happens every day here) it is a little bit funny ;) --Martin H. (talk) 03:49, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I found it funny as well — I linked to Street View to prove my point, but I didn't need to go there to know that it wasn't that way; look at File:Washington from Perry in Tiffin.jpg (and please forgive the tilting) to see what downtown Tiffin is really like. It's just a pity that the Melbourne image was used on the English and German Wikipedia articles for many months before anyone noticed. Nyttend (talk) 04:03, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

I just removed it from the de.wp article, someone realy believed it and added it there :)) --Martin H. (talk) 04:05, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks; it saves me from having to use Google Translate. If you find either of them appropriate, could you add either "Washington from Perry in Tiffin" or File:City of Tiffin from the air.jpg to the German article? I don't want to produce a very badly mangled caption. Thanks! Nyttend (talk) 04:07, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Eher Zweiteres. Flickr benutzt als Bildtitel standardmäßig den Originaldateinamen wie die Datei auch auf der Festplatte heißt. Dieser Flickr-Benutzer hat den Dateinamen nicht geändert, daher finden wir Bilder wie http://www.flickr.com/photos/jingdianmeinv2/4020514755/ (Titel: 525864943_fee16777f1_o) indem wir http://www.flickr.com/photo.gne?id=525864943 verwenden.

They are my own photos, I use Flickr to display them, I've taken with my own camera, what copyright I am violating? I really don't understand, why you instead of just deleting the files do not help people who do not know how to label the images? It seems arbitrary to me.--Stelita (talk) 02:10, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Are you kidding? In the past your uploads was found copyright violations and deleted. Now you toke the images, e.g. from here, uploaded them to your own flickr account and forwarded them to Commons with the claim, that anyone on this planet can reuse this photos for any purpose including money making purposes as long as "villalta_c "is properly attributed... Thats nonsense, uploading something to your own flickr account does not make you the author nor does it give you the right to waive someone else rights (economic rights) on it! In fact it is illegal, against the law, against flickr policy, against commons policy, against sanity and all behavioural rules. --Martin H. (talk) 02:20, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Martin. I'm a bit clueless about Commons - could you please tell me what this edit was doing?

first 6 lines removed the category review, the categorization is a good start.

Update on Shenandoah Valley Academy images

Hello,

Back in April I tagged File:ShenandoahAcademy.jpg and File:ShenandoahValleyAcademy.jpg as missing evidence of permission and raised the concern that based on the comments left by the uploader on the image page, these images were not really being released under a free licence. An OTRS ticket appears to have been received but it was not sufficient as it did not release the images under a free licence. It is now July and the status of these images is still unclear, what action do you think should be taken now? CT Cooper (talk) 12:45, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Wait or ask at COM:OTRSN. Im not an OTRS member and dont know if permission was received. --Martin H. (talk) 23:41, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

It doesn't appear that anything more is going to happen, so I think that going to COM:OTRSN is the best next step. I will leave a message about this there. Thanks for your help. CT Cooper · talk 12:03, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Bothering you with a question....

Dear Martin,

First of all sorry that I bother you with this question, however, I couldn't find any information about a license type on the commons... I'm not sure that you remember me but I failed the licensing of a couple of pictures and so it was deleted. You informed me about my fail - this is the reason I chose you to ask my question from. I contacted the owner of the pictures I wanted to upload. He gave his permission to upload the pictures to the commons but I have no clue how to license it and how to make his permission appear on the picture's page. Does the commons have an official template for these permissions?
I hope I do not bother you that much with this question. Thanks a lot anyway and have a great day!!!!

Jojojoe (talk) 12:53, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

The copyright holder must agree to a free license in the permission. That license, see Commons:Copyright tags, is the license that you must select for your upload. --Martin H. (talk) 23:40, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Much of this is screenshot from something called Caras e Bocas - I dont think that this is free. And that images that are not screenshots from that television series(?) is likely not that picasa users work, e.g. for this see TinEye. So I think: No. --Martin H. (talk) 07:21, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

File: Survivors of Bigfoots band.jpg

I uploaded File: Survivors of Bigfoots band.jpg. You uploaded another entirely different image as the "full size image". The Library of Congress id. number is correct and links to the image I uploaded which was the "full size image". Look at the thumbnails, two different images, can you possibly correct it? 7mike5000 (talk) 06:35, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

This image is available from the United States Library of Congress's Prints and Photographs division under the digital ID ppmsc.02517. This tag does not indicate the copyright status of the attached work. A normal copyright tag is still required. See Commons:Licensing.

I tried to re-upload the correct image and the one you uploaded pops up. I tried to revert to the first image and the one you uploaded shows up on the page and in the thumbnail but when you click on it the correct full size image shows up. 7mike5000 (talk) 06:48, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I uploaded the wrong file. The not showing of the correct image after your revert was related to either the server or your browser cache, press Ctrl+F5 to purge your cache. I will delete my wrong upload as well as your reupload attempts (to make the history shorter and not confuse users) and will correct all information and reupload the full version of the correct file - summarizing I will do my intended edit and hide the mistake. --Martin H. (talk) 07:13, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Done. Please add some categories, I dont know much of that topic but I found it a very interesting photographer. --Martin H. (talk) 07:23, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Request for help

Since you commented on the w:Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Arab League investigation regarding maps earlier, maybe you could give your opinion/advice on the thread I started here about it at Commons talk:Licensing#Copyright status/source of maps? I'd much appreciate it. VernoWhitney (talk) 16:12, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Can I repeat my plea for you to take a look at the situation and give some advice? VernoWhitney (talk) 14:21, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

I said everything in en:Wikipedia:Contributor_copyright_investigations/Arab_League#Arab Atlas and other maps. Maps always require to indicate the source, I hovewever gave up here on the project because even longstanding contributors violate this self-evident requirement. In the case of AL we have to options: (1) leave the maps allone and dont care, thats what I suggest (2) Require AL to provide sources, Im unsure if the watermark comes from a software (then providing the name of this software would be a start to evaluate the copyright status of the maps used in the software) or if it is just a tag that he created himself, then he must provide sources for the base maps individually. --Martin H. (talk) 14:32, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. He asserts that the watermark is his own creation (which I'm inclined to believe since there are 3 or 4 variations of it) and so far I've just been tagging everything to have the watermarks removed; I'll probably follow your advice and leave the maps alone unless anyone else shows interest in them. Oh, and I've been applying what you did for my Henri-Pierre Picou images to my new uploads for Charles-Amable Lenoir, so thanks again for showing me the nicer templates to use. Cheers!

Re: Files uploaded (EVD-tennis*)

Hello.

You are porbably right. I did not verified the source, however at http://www.deportes.gov.co/data/minisites/tennis/cartilla/tenis.pdf , page 82, they state the origin of the first file: File:Jeu de paume.jpg, as well as File:EVD-tenis-007.jpg (File:Tennis costyme1881.jpg) and File:EVD-tenis-010.jpg (File:Dorothea Douglass.jpg). Feel free to delete these copied files.

I will also correct the information of File:EVD-tenis-011.jpg [8] and File:EVD-tenis-016.jpg. I will check with the authors of the PDF on the origin of File:EVD-tenis-020.jpg.

Could you please explain...

I went to the Singapore cyberpioneer site. I acknowledge those images were published there.

WRT to these edits [9], [10], [11], [12], [13] -- your edit summary said: "not pd-afghanistan, not first published in afghanistan".

But the text of this tag says "work of Afghanistan", not "first published in Afghanistan". Geo Swan (talk) 20:24, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Files on Commons must be public domain in the country of origin and the U.S. The country of origin is not the country of creation but the place of first publication or the creators home e.g. if unpublished. If Picasso goes to Afghanistan and paint a painting this painting will not be public domain world wide just because it was painted in Afghanistan. If the Singapore Military went to Afghanistan and creates photographs this photographs are not public domain world wide, neither in Singapore nor in the U.S. Maybe they are public domain in Afghanistan, maybe because that country doesnt have copyrights, but that doesnt matter here. Your template says This work is in the public domain in the United States - thats wrong. The work was published in the (Berne) Union, so it is protected in the Union. PD-Afghanistan can only apply to works first published in Afghanistan and not simultaneously published elsewhere. Any conclusion from 'created in Afghanistan' is meaningless. --Martin H.

British passport photograph

Hello Martin. Thanks for the fixes on those paintings I'd uploaded from Thomas Moran. Also, I was wondering about British passports. I have a passport photograph I'd like to use of Bryher, otherwise known as Annie Winifred Ellerman.[16] The photograph is undated. I assume that as an official photograph of the British government it is not subject to copyright, but I am unclear on how to mark it so it passes muster. Please let me know at your convenience. Thanks! MarmadukePercy (talk) 21:14, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Works by the UK government are subject to crown copyright. See COM:L#United Kingdom. However, I see no reason why this was created by any government, so not crown but ordinary copyright. Also I see no author but also no date or publication - so imo no clue for any pd reason. --Martin H. (talk) 21:19, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Sources

Thank you for your message-warning, these photos (in black and white) are not really scanned, I took them with my digital camera (I still don't have a scanner), the source is a work of my father collection of old separated photos from newspapers dating from (1970 > 1974), however he didn't mention days, months or page numbers (except for one photo). If I have any such information, I will not be so avaricious to report it on my uploads.

Hallo Martin H.,

für mich bilden die eingetragenen Begriffe von „Bildung“ bis „Bildungshaus Salmünster“ im Gegensatz zu „Salmünster“ in diesem Kontext einen hierarchischen Kategorienbaum. Beurteilst du das anders? Warum bitte? Gruß, -- Siric (talk) 13:05, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

(1) Das Kategoriensystem ist auf Englisch. (2) die Beispielhaften Kategorien "Bildung" und "Bildungshaus Salmünster" sind bereits COM:OVERCAT. Bilder werden nur in die oberste Kategorie einsortiert, nicht in den gesammten Baum. --Martin H. (talk) 13:08, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Images - copyright violation

Hi Martin, please accept my apologize for the copyright violations. I cannot read english very well so I have some problem to find the right way uploading files. I'm italian and I run also the websites of Pier Gonella and Perseo Miranda, so I have their permission to upload their images. If I send to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org the skan of their written permission is enought or I have to write something particular? I declare that all I'm saying is the true, if you can help it would be great. Thanks a lot for all July 7th 2010 Demetrio99

If you only have permission to upload someone else work you shouldnt upload it as own work (Commons:Upload/it: È interamente opera mia). Second, once you uploade something with correct information on author and source, you should follow the instructions in COM:OTRS. --Martin H. (talk) 10:09, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

I came across a flickr washed image from this user and saw you had warned them about such things a year ago. I've a feeling this one might also be washed (maybe some of the other offerings) but would like another opinion? Cheers --Herby ^{talk thyme} 12:35, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

I have to take a closer look. For the images I mentioned the flickr washing was obvious, see File:Oka kit nev.jpg, and the flickr account http://www.flickr.com/photos/31193644@N03/, obviously not a collection of self-created photos. For the account you mention this is different and a search for the mentioned image [17] brings no result that says different. The Pug Father looks like a good flickr account. --Martin H.

Where the file come from

I got an email from you asking where this file File:DuChun20100124.jpg comes from.

This picture was taken by my friend Guangjuan Li in China. I got her permission to submitted to wikipedia. She can not upload it directly from China. So she sent to me the original and I cropped it and uploaded to wiki.

I asked her to send an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org.

Her email address is zhangfuyi880428@yahoo.com.cn if you need to contact her.

Please let me know if you have more questions or suggestions,

You indicated a license, so dont know why the problem tag appeared. However, I cant realy help you, the source isnt verifiable for an unknowing viewer.

Hi Martin

You have deleted one of the files i uploaded.

"File:Police Look out notice - Kerala professor.JPG" ‎ (Copyright violation: derivative of others work, photo of photo or publication)

It is in public domain. It is the photo of a public notice issued. Does it come under Copy violation?

I have uploaded that in EN wiki under fair use license as it is very much required for the article.

Patrol / delete bug

Good morning:

There is a nuisance bug in the page patrol system. If you delete a new page that has not yet been marked as patrolled, no problem. But if you move it (as at Usuário Discussão:Eloylaurino/Arquivo de mensagens, it remains in the unpatrolled log and as far as I know the only way to get it out is to recreate it, mark it patrolled, and then delete it. Not a big deal -- I run across it about once a week as I patrol new galleries. Regards,      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 10:28, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Informations

Hello, You left a message on my wall to inform me about violation issues i've made. I don't really understand, what's wrong. I've ever indicated the source, the owner and i've also put the license (the owner who has died about 70 years) to the picture. Can you give me an explanation what is wrong about? Thank you. Benutzer:Joe Thein

Wenn du sagst, der Autor ist vor 70 Jahren gestorben - 70 Jahre nach dem Tod des Autoren ist die Schutzfrist im Urheberrechts - dann muss der Autor auch 70 Jahre tot sein. Es ist reichlich Sinnlos die richtige Angabe, dass Heinrich Hoffmann der Autor ist mit der Angabe zu verbinden, der Autor sei vor mehr als 70 Jahren gestorben. Simples nachrechnen sagt: Nein, dem ist nicht so. Die Bilder sind weder gemeinfrei noch vom Urheber (bzw. dessen Erben) frei lizenziert, sie haben in Wikimedia Projekten nichts zu suchen. --Martin H. (talk) 23:39, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Nehmen wir mal das Beispiel von dem Bild Oskar Körner, das ich hochgeladen habe. Dieses Bild ist 1922 entstanden, also vor 88 Jahren. Und ich frag mich natürlich ganz klar nebenbei, wieso andere Webseiten, wie z.B die Bayerische Staatsbibliothek oder das Historische Lexikon Bayern diese Bilder verwenden dürfen/können. Ich find die Vorgehensweise mit der Bilder/Artikel einfach so gelöscht werden, einfach schade. Die Qualität der Beiträge, nimmt damit echt ab. Benutzer:Joe Thein

Bilder in Wikimedia Projekten müssen frei sein. Frei nicht nur für Informationszwecke sondern für jeden Zweck, einschließlich kommerzieller Zwecke.

I was wondering why the photo taken by myself was just deleted "File:Tosboxfront.JPG" ‎ (Copyright violation: derivative of non-free product packaging) Is is because I didnt list the correct permission or can I not upload a photo taken by me of a cereal box?

Finnish war photos

These are all Finnish army war photos taken 1944 and publiclly spread. also according to Finnish law photos are only copyright protected in an period of 50 years mening these are not protected by this since 1994.Posse72 (talk) 23:32, 16 July 2010 (UTC) All picture could be fund in the book "Viisi sodan vuotta: Suomi toisen maailmansodan myrskyissä" from 1958

File:Is-2.1.JPG, File:Destroyed Soviet tank in the Battle of Tali-Ihantala July 1944.jpg, File:4406TaisteluosastoKuhlmeynStukia.jpg, File:Destroyed IS-152.jpg, File:Is-2.22.JPG, File:Is-2.4.JPG, File:Is-2.23.JPG, File:Panzerfausts in position.jpg, File:4407KannasKPmiesVuosalmella.jpg

From other FInnish war photos: Public domain This photograph is in the public domain, because either 50 years has elapsed from the year of creation or the photograph was first published before 1966. The §49a of the Finnish copyright law of 2005 specifies that photographs not considered to be "works of art" become public domain 50 years after they were created. The 50 years from creation protection period came into force in 1991. Before that the protection period was 25 years from the year of first publication according to the §16 of the law of protection of photographs of 1961. Material already released to public domain according to the 1961 law remains in public domain, and therefore all photographs (but not photographic works of art) released before 1966 are in the public domain. See Commons:Licensing#Finland for details.'

So pls remove the warnings from these photos that you imposed.

Much text, but have you read at least the warnings?? [..]is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information[..]. So remove your false claims that you are the photographer and add correct sources and authors, Reliable sources that confirm the date of creation and especially the authorship so that the contry of origin is Finland and not e.g. Germany and a german photographer (regarding the air-to-air Kuhlmey photo). --Martin H. (talk) 00:40, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

I agree that the information should be added (and false claims removed), but those should be largely irrelevant for the copyright status: if the files were taken by Finns on Finnish territory, then Finnish law should be applied and the photos PD regardless of who the photographer is. You do not have to know the architect of the pyramids either.

The "when" and "where" questions are relevant, but usually answered for those pictures. I do not know how the "where" thing applies though, as some of the pictures are taken where the border was changed, on then fighted over territory (but I think no one in Finland bothers to check the Russian law for those Finnish photos, even the ones taken deep inside the USSR).

--LPfi (talk) 16:56, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

For Commons it is required that the photo is public domain in the country of origin, the country of origin is not determinated by the location of creation but by first publication or the home country of the photographer. So you are right, if this photo were taken by Finns (on Finnish territory, dont think thats so important) they are public domain, this however requires a verifiable source, e.g., as we have for many other files, a book or a official military website or an archive confirming that this was created by e.g. Finnish military photographers. The uploader unfounded changed the sources now to something that would fit the requirement (he not removed the wrong author), evidence that this information is indeed correct is missing. Without this evidence the file not have much - I say: not have any - value for Commons. --Martin H. (talk) 17:19, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

File:PICT0510.JPG

Martin, there is a problem with the file PICT0510.JPG and I think you can help me. On 15 January 2007 a new version, with an image Rorainópolis city, was uploaded and this file was included in all articles of the city. On 11 May 2010, GeorgHH reverted to the old revision, of Largo di Torre Argentina (different places). Now, the problem is that the wrong image appears on articles of the city. I didn't understand the reason of the reversion, the image of the tower isn't used in any wiki and the file is duplicated (see File:PICT0510 - Largo di Torre Argentina.jpg). Can it be reverted? Thanks. ThiagoRuiz (talk) 02:56, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

The revert was ok, the file was overwritten. A sollution is to delete the oldest and newest version of the file as a duplicate and keep the middle version and update the file description. But updating the file description is not possible becaue the log not contains a source and also not a license. So the middle version, the Rorainópolis image, is lost. The only sollution would be if the original uploader uploads it again under a different filename with all information. --Martin H. (talk) 03:16, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

So I'll remove the file of the articles, because there isn't any other image of the city. Thank you. ThiagoRuiz (talk) 16:41, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes, searched flickr and other sources already but found nothing. Please ask the original uploader on pt.wp if you can, maybe he will notify the edit and become active to answer and confirm the obvious (own work) and specify a license. Then we can restore the image. --Martin H. (talk) 16:43, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

I know him on pt.wiki, but he's inactive for a long time. I sent him a message and now we can only wait. ThiagoRuiz (talk) 17:44, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

(1) No, you not gave any of this. You can still see that no information was given in your upload log. A filled upload log looks like this.

(2) You have obviously no idea of free content. The file on flickr [21] is not licensed, there is no license that you can give here! It is all rights reserved. This means: you are not allowed to reuse that image anywhere, for no purpose in no media, do 'not copy this image!

Why you pursue my works?

With hardness worthy respect, you put all my photos on removal. A situation such: in each photo my father or the grandfather is represented. Photos are stored in my family archive. At various times, probably, tens copies of a photo which can be have been made and to this day are stored in different families. In my opinion this really public domain. How in this case correctly to specify the author, a source, the licence and a category? Please assist.

What makes File:Chernenko MELZ.JPG your own work (Author= Sartang) and what makes you believe, that it is free? Owning something does not give you the copyright, the copyright belongs to the original author - you dont know that person? Well, thats unlucky and forbids you to upload the image because you not have the authors written permission that anyone can reuse the work anywhere, anytime for any purpose including commercial reuse. But thats required here. The image is not public domain, or can you find a valid reason for public domain in Commons:Licensing? If you dont know the author, dont know the source, and obviously an image is not free you should not upload it in the first place! See the decision tree in Commons:First steps/License selection. And I dont "prusue" your work, its on my watchlist and you insist on simply removing the tag without removing the problems. --Martin H. (talk) 16:09, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks you for a prompt reply.

You are married? You have wedding photos? You ordered the photographer and paid to it the fee for these photos. These are your photos or not? You should ask permissions the photographer on their publication? You went to school? You have school photos? You should ask the permission all schoolmates?

I do not wish you to offend, but I wish to ask you to help me all to make correctly.

Situation simple: your father invites to itself the vip-person. It orders services of the photographer. In thirty years his son wishes to place these photos in Vikipedii.

If I place these photos on Facebook, and then on Vikipedii - it will be a correct source?

If someone asks me to reuse my wedding photo in a calendar with wedding photos I must of course ask the photographer and make a written contract with him covering this reuse in a commercial calendar. Assuming a book will be written about me and Im asked to provide photos and I want to give a wedding photo I maybe must not ask the photographer because the book is about me and, although the book is a commercial publication, it should be ok for documentary purposes. However, the first example is relevant here, files on Commons must be free for ANY purpose and the copyright holder must agree to that.

If my father was subject to a photo taken by someone else 30 years back and I inherited his copy of the photo I canot do anything with this photo. If my father was subject to an newspaper article and I inherited a copy of the newspaper article I also not inherited the copyright on the text. The copyright belongs to someone else, the ownership of the copy does not give me any rights to the image. This situation will not change if you copy something to facebook. --Martin H. (talk) 17:22, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

When you pay to the photographer the fee – You buy rights of use of results of its work.

• Nonexistent author: An author exists. The photo not suddenly and magically appeard somewhere, there must be an photographer.
• False author: On the file description you claim that you are the photographer (author), you are not the (author)photographer, so that information in the file description is incorrect. I dont like to waste my time with chatting about this simple fact. Correct it.

The customer can enjoy the work for his purposes - but he can not give this right to others! With you upload here you allow ANYONE the right to enjoy the work ANYWHERE (not only in Wikipedia and not only for educational purposes). If I buy a Picasso painting directly from Pablo Picassos legal heirs im NOT allowed to reproduce the painting that I own andgive the reproduction to others allowing them to reuse the reproduction. Well, in your case the creator is unknown - shit happens, you can simply not use the image because you not have a written permission and you not own the intelectual property rights.

I realise all importance of legal maintenance of materials presented in Vikipedii. I ask administration Vikipedii to help in the name of the Dear opponent to me correctly to pick up a source, the author and the licence for materials represented by me. «shit happens» I regard expression as inadmissible as the given neologism is not clear for Pushkin, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Chekhov's language. In the decision of the given problems I count on an openness, partnership and friendliness from outside more skilled (in questions of administration of materials in Vikipedii) the partner. I hope that our general problem is granting of a trustworthy information for maximum a large attendance. Considering work volume spent by you in Vikipedii, I think that decisions of this points in question is an integral part of this your hobby.

I gave you basic help, especially I pointed you to Commons:First steps/License selection and the descision tree: Did you create the picture yourself? No. Is the rights owner known? No. Result: Do not upload. If the rights owner is known, is he ded for >70 years? No (not possible). did the owner of rights agree? No (you dont even know him). Result: Do not upload. I cant help you more, it is highly appreciated to read instructions and ask questions in the forefield, not afterwards in an attepmt to defend and to protect wrong information. There simply is nothing to defend, you should have never uploaded this picture. If you disagree with my wording or my limited ability to help you should not request it here on my talkpage. --Martin H. (talk) 18:38, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Did you create the picture yourself?

I have a direct bearing to that millions people have access to the information which I am the lawful owner

Is the rights owner known?'

Yes is I. About the return I from you have not heard weighty arguments. I repeat once again: exclusive rights to the image have been got by my father and have passed to me under the right of succession.

Result: To challenge your approach in more competent instance

Summary:

It seems to me that our discussion has come into deadlocks we do not hear arguments each other. Leave mine «watchlist». Transfer a question to other expert more competent (in my opinion) in questions of copyrights, to less bone (in my opinion) and not inclined to an excessive formalism (in my opinion).

Already late. Tomorrow it is necessary to go for work. Go rest

That sounds like you will only rest once you got an answer that fits your purposes. I disagree with this behaviour, why do you bother me here on my talkpage with long questions and ask here for help if you disagree with the outcome from the very begining no matter what I say??? Copyright transfer in russia requires a written from, you claim exclusive rights - so you must have a written contreact, see en:Copyright_law_of_the_Russian_Federation#Contractual_regulations. You dont know the author? Well, that proofes that you obviously not have it written. Your claim is speculation and not based on evidences, you may read Commons:What_Commons_is_not#Commons is not concerned about copyright holders not caring. Without the authors permission you are not allowed to license this work and not allowed to upload it here giving it free for any purpose. Keep on asking others, the essence of the answer (do not upload) will be the same. Good bye. --Martin H. (talk) 20:14, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Football players categories

Hi Martin, could you explain to me why do you consider is wrong the categorization by player on the "Players of... " categories? I think the categorization by season you are aplying is compatible with the categorization by name of player, and the last one is useful to find images of people not playing football but being players of their respective teams. Lobo (howl?) 12:34, 22 July 2010 (UTC) PD:Sorry for my English

A subcategory adopts the attributes of the parent category. A photo showing a player of Bayern Munich in a match against Chelsea has nothing to do with Real Madrid. The consequence of this categorization is blowing up the category system of soccer clubs with unrelated media files. You can of course add the players gallery to the categories, that will not create false connections.

For the purpose to identify or link former players we have lists on Wikipedia or, here on Commons, you can e.g. create a navigation box in the categories related to seasons, my suggestion, or create a gallery related to a time period or a season with links to the player categories, e.g. Real Madrid in the 1980s or somthing like that. --Martin H.

You are liying. The photo is essentially the same as that of Stuart Franklin of Magnum Press, same angle, same shadow, same distance between tanks and street lines. He said: I was hunched down on a balcony on the fifth floor (I think). Three others were also on the balcony: Charlie Cole, a reporter for Actuel in France and one from Vanity Fair. - your uncle is non of these three persons who actually had the chance to take this moment from that position. On your talkpage you used your last comment with an attempt to make me feel bad to have deleted "your photo" - Im not impressed. Here on my talkpage this topic ends exatly here with the documented and proven conclusion that you (1) not yet understood that owning a copy of something does not gives you any rights to reproduce it nor does it give you any intelectual property rights on this copy or (2) lied and intruded Wikipedias Article de qualité with your strange claims maybe to gather other users appreciation. You dont have my appreciation, realy not. --Martin H. (talk) 23:45, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

I said I retrieved the licence and the sources of this two photographs . They are not freely usable. Although you're doing your beste to stop me ansewering to you, i insite on the two file being immediatly deleted.

I dont "insist on the files being immediatly deleted" - I requested correction of the source. Given your bad move with the previous upload it is a valid concern. E.g. you can make a photo of the original photo and negative, not a cropped and retouched one, and upload it temporary over your uploads to show what the source material was. And what you did is not "answering" but simply provokation and evading the originary problem (Tank Man). --Martin H. (talk) 00:38, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

I am talking NOW about the two files I have been stupid enough to import in this place . So I retrieve the two files File:Tienn'men 1.JPG‎, File:Tienan'men2.JPG. And YOU will be responsible for that. Because you accused me of giving no source which is not true. You called me a liar several times, you insulted and despised my work. You do not deserve these files. You must delete them immediatly.

You know nothing.--[[Lepetitlord]] ([[Discussion utilisateur|d]]) (talk) 01:01, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

• If you want to have something deleted you should follow the deletion guidlines and not provoke me with that stupidity ("You" do not deserve... "You" must delete). Im not impressed, I dont believe you that this photos are validly freely licensed, so deleting them wouldnt be a loss for Commons.
• The hotel and balcony is described in the source. I wrote a quotation and the source of the quotation is linkd with the word 'said'.

And I removed your comment because it is nothing but a provokation. On my talkpage I decide what the last comment is.

Images for Pritish Nandy Communications article

Hi Martin, you deleted 3 images that I had uploaded yesterday to Commons for copyright violation. An email with the required permission to use these images has been mailed to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. When do you think that the images will be posted back on the pages created? Or do I have to upload them again and create another page? How exactly does this work? Shishir58 (talk) 17:35, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

If the permission is sufficient the files will be restored. You however said with your uploads that this works are entirely your personal creation and you said that anyone can reuse the posters for any purpose including commercial purposes as long as the name "Shishir58" is named with the image. This might be not ok with the copyright holder and maybe requires a correction of author and source information. If the images are restored you can add them back to the article. --Martin H. (talk) 17:43, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

I must have selected the wrong option. My first article. I'll make the corrections once the files are restored. Thank you. Shishir58 (talk) 17:52, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Martin, do permissions usually take a while? I had an email sent across about 2 days ago but have received no response yet. Should I wait or have the email re-sent once again? Shishir58 (talk) 05:46, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

I just saw your deletion request and I fully agree, that user has some difficulties to separate between "own work" and not own work, most uploads are not own work. --Martin H. (talk) 01:37, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Done. Do you know if File:Bandeiraatn.png is an official flag? If it is official we can simply remove the wrong source, author and license and add {{PD-BrazilGov}}. We will have an ugly image description then, but nevertheless the file is PD as an drawing (simple reproduction, no copyright for the person who painted it) of a PD symbol - if it is official. --Martin H. (talk) 01:47, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for helping. I can not confirm it as official. There is no official website, and the National Municipalities Association doesn't list any flag fo this city [24]. This blog say it's official, but it's just a blog.

Could you also check uploads by User:Mauro Schwertzez Fulgoni? Some of them have already been tagged for deletion, but there are 3 of them licensed as PD based on expiration of copyright. But they are dated from 2010, 2006, etc... Ednei amaral (talk) 02:57, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

A propos de l'homme de Tian'anman

Juste pour mémoire, voici quelques exemples d'autres photos de l'homme de Tian'anmen où l'on voit que plusieurs photographes ont saisi cette image presque en même temps. Elle n'est pas seulement l'œuvre de Charlie Cole. Outre Jeff Widener et Stuart Franklin, il y avait des professionnels et des amateurs connus ou anonymes, américain, chinois, anglais, français, belges. Voici par exemple:

• celle prise par Arthur Tsang Deng de l'agence Reuters : Tank man n'est pas l'œuvre unique de Charlie Cole.
• autre prise de vue de Arthur Tsang Deng :autre prise de vue d'Arthur Tsang Deng
• celle prise par Robert Aubert : l'homme de Tiian'anmen autre photo
• celle prise par Jeff Widener de l'Associated pressJeff Widener photo de l'homme deTeian'anmen

C'est juste pour te renseigner. D'ailleurs je parle français là. Je ne sais pas si tu le comprends. --[[Lepetitlord]] ([[Discussion utilisateur|d]]) (talk) 11:27, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Only "Robert Aubert" is a new name here, the other are mentioned in the source I gave you that you obviously not read. It is however remarkable how you switch "O. Aubert/picturetank", an image distributor, to "Robert Aubert" and declare your "Robert" a photographer. You are maybe not very familiar with image credit praxis in press publications, but that does not make you eligible to switch "O" and "R" and adding some gibberish behind the R and giving it some interpretation. If we compare this - thats your "Robert" - and the Tsang photo one will maybe come to the conclusion that it might come from the same position. Note the position of the lamp pole: The position of the bulge above the street line indicates that it is the same position in up/down direction, the position of the pole on the bus shows that it is the same left/right position). One may ask Corbis on the authorship of the image or consult another publication of your "Robert" photo. --Martin H. (talk) 17:05, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Si tu comprends le français, ce sera plus facile de discuter. En effet, j'ai fait une erreur sur O. Aubert au lieu de Robert Aubert. Cela dit, pourquoi as-tu besoin d'utiliser toujours des mots méprisants comme gibberish. Tu fais sans doute très bien ton travail, mais qu'est-ce qui t'empêche d'être courtois? En posant une question sur le bistro, je viens de comprendre comment une archive familiale peut être cédée : il suffit que le propriétaire envoie une lettre pour dire qu'il cède les droits. La propriétaire est ma mère, (mon père est mort il y a quinze jours, mon oncle Dalmet est mort en 2006, mon grand père est mort en janvier 2010), mais elle refuse désormais de céder quoi que ce soit des archives familiales sans être rémunérée. Donc tu vas être tranquille en ce qui me concerne. Désolé de m'être énervé, ça ne valait pas la peine, je regrette.

They are in place for quite a long time (e.g. June was created in 2006) and generally accepted by users. If you feel they should be removed, you can open a discussion at COM:CFD. In the meantime, please refrain from unilateral action and repair what was already done.  Docu  at 17:42, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

You've been doing it all over the place, in other countries as well. Why have you been doing it, it's completely unnecessary, and you really should have discussed it first. Categorising by month isn't "unnecessary without any value", it's a useful way of categorising images as the year progresses, but over lots of years. For example, comparing changes over the four seasons Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter in a particular place, is much easier if we categorise by month. Have I missed some discussion somewhere? Arriva436^{talk/contribs} 18:20, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Seasons are not months. The categories where not used to categorise this feature but just to meta categorise categories by their name and construct an relation between months. Thats not content based but maintenance based. --Martin H. (talk) 18:22, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

I know seasons are not months. But, if I want to say, look at a the winters of England between 2000 and 2010, looking at December in England, January in England, and February in England, will make it much easier to find what you're looking for. It is not purely maintenance based. Also, you haven't answered my question - have you discussed this somewhere before making such large changes? Arriva436^{talk/contribs} 18:24, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Personally, I think they allow to find images per season much better than, e.g. the subcategories of Category:Seasons in Switzerland (from where they are linked). Docu  at 18:27, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes. I was using seasons as an example of how categorising by month is useful, and how destroying it all shouldn't be taken lightly. Arriva436^{talk/contribs} 18:31, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Create a category for winter comparison. Something like Category:Winter in the United Kingdom with categories like Category:Winter 1946/1947 in Germany which was known as a "Hungerwinter". The category system we talk about here is purely maintenance based. Category:M YYYY in X is a historic based viewed - what happened in place X in Y - collecting a group of historic based categories in one meta category does not hold any 'comparison' or 'observance' of weather phenomena purposes. Maintenance on maintenance categories is done here as well as other people create maintenance categories. --Martin H. (talk) 18:34, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Apparently we have difference of opinion on their usefulness.  Docu  at 18:39, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

We do indeed - which is exactly why it should have been discussed before any action took place. Arriva436^{talk/contribs} 18:56, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

As I explained above. The categoris are an unfruitful arm of the category system, it was never discussed to create such unecessary categories - unecessary from content view and maintencance view (intersections that are still possible due to the month by year tree). This category plague is not old as docu claimed but new, it started in Summer 2009 and infected the UK categories just in March 2010. Dont create unecessary categories and better help cleaup in Special:Categories and Special:WantedCategories instead of defending unecessary categories here. --Martin H.

Why not open a discussion about them and explain your point of view?  Docu  at 19:10, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

There is no purpose in waiting 6 months untill finaly someone joins the discussion, makes himself familiar with the topic and starts editing (or skips editing because its to much work). At that time I maybe will have lost interest in this maintenance work too and the mess will remain unresolved. --Martin H. (talk) 19:16, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

If you think it's too much work, why do you delete it?

Besides, it seems odd that you suggest to us to categorize images and than just speedy empty and delete categories.  Docu  at 19:35, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

• I just wanted to comment, that as the creator of many of the deleted categories, i should have been notified of the deletions. You deleted scores of categories. Evrik (talk) 05:07, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

You got the wrong guy; it was High Contrast's closure. –Tryphon^☂ 21:02, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Hanabusa

Regarding File:Hanabusa_160x240.jpg, I have just received the written permission requested to keep the file up and forwarded it to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org Would you like me to send it to you, or should I post the statement with file summary? Thanks for your help with this... --Travis.Thurston (talk) 06:10, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Forward your written permission to OTRS, you said you did this, and an OTRS volunteer will make a note on the file description that permission is stored in the system as soon as the permission is handled. I will mark the file as 'permission pending'. --Martin H. (talk) 06:13, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

copied to your talkpage too, im going to archive this talkpage now. --Martin H. (talk) 14:59, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Rutherford crocodile.jpg

I noted your change here -- since we kept it, wouldn't it be better to remove the category?      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 11:45, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

I removed the category already, in first intention I wanted to add a <noinclude> around it so that the deletion log is not longer categorized but only the subpage, on second view I decided to remove it because nothing to undelete. The link can stay, it belongs to the users comment. --Martin H. (talk) 11:47, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Sorry. You would think that I would be able to read Wiki markup by now.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 14:44, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

File:AlXustari.JPG

Hello. I could see that you have said that that image has an incorrect license. I think that you are wrong. I asked it in the Village pump, and they say me that I can use that license for the photo of a bust; it is possible in Spain (I am spanish).

Are you sure I have to put PD-Self like license if I want to keep the image? I hope that you answer. Luispihormiguero (talk) 12:54, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

You added a tag {{FoP-Spain}} indicating that the photo of the sculpture does not infringe the sculptors copyright because in spain it is allowed to make photos of artwork in public places. You not added an license tag to license your photographic work. --Martin H. (talk) 12:58, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Are you saying that, besides of FoP-Spain, I have to put another license? Luispihormiguero (talk) 13:06, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes. You made a photo and your photographic work is proteced by your copyright. You must license your photographic work so that Commons and anyone can use it. FoP-Spain is not a license, thats an information tag saying that this photo is a derivative work of an artistic work (sculpture) but that it is not subject to the sculptors copyright because of freedom of panorama in Spain. --Martin H. (talk) 13:11, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Ahhhh... OK, OK, thank you :) Luispihormiguero (talk) 13:13, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
