The file was transferred from the English Wikipedia where it was marked as permitted by the author for publishing ander CC-BY. Do you think that's incredible? Mithril (talk) 09:18, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

I've sent request for OTRS to the photographer. Mithril (talk) 09:42, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Correct; the original uploader at English Wikipedia failed to provide appropriate permission; I only notified you because it's done by the automatic script (itself done because it assumes you have a horse in the race, given that you reuploaded it here). Magog the Ogre (talk) 20:08, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

OTRS recieved the letter. Mithril (talk) 20:43, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Julia Pevzner

This is the picture of Julia Pevzner, an opera director, I got the picture from Julia Pevzner herself by mail, and got the signed permission from Yosi Zevker, the photographer, who owned the copyrights, and sent it to wiki commons. I always upload pictures that I got the signed permission from the copyrights owner, with no exception, I never take picture from any other source. Please give back the picture.

I can't understand what are you talking about, I've never dealed with Julia Pevzner photos as far as I remember. If you think that this template was addressed to you, you're mistaken. I sent it to Moros y Christianos. It seems you and I both have a conflict with extra diligent users. I can only advise you to use all the patience. Mithril (talk) 13:48, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Oh, sorry, thought it was you, I got the signed permission from the copyrights owner. Tzahy Lerner (talk) 07:12, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Good luck then! Mithril (talk) 07:33, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Easter

I wish you Happy Easter! DenesFeri (talk) 16:50, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Oh.. thanks! In Russia we celebrate Easter on the orthodox calendar (on 15th of April this year). But that really doesn't matter. Mithril (talk) 17:06, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Tree of life images

You warned me in my talk page about the legal status of several images I uploaded from the Tree of Life Project. I personally verified that every image i uploaded was in "public domain" according to the same web page. For example, on this link you can check the legal status of this image. --Ninovolador (talk) 00:49, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

I know that these are claimed to be public domain on the ToL. Lets try to understand how it can be. The images were published in Brussels (Belgium) in 1934/1935. The author of the volume was Max Beier (1903–1979). Then lets see what type of license you have declared:

File:Acromantis oligoneura.jpg: {{PD-author}}

Did Max Beier know about the PD before his death in 1979?

File:Parablepharis kuhlii.jpg – {{PD-US}}

File:Paratoxodera cornicollis.jpg – {{PD-US}}

File:Odontomantis planiceps.jpg – {{PD-US}}

Is the Brussels a part of the US? Was the work published before 1923?

File:Aethalochroa ashmoliana.jpg – {{self|Cc-zero}}

File:Theopropus elegans.jpg – {{self|Cc-zero}}

File:Musoniella argentina.jpg – {{self|Cc-zero}}

Are you the author of these works?

I can imagine the only way it being in the PD: (1) the author of these drawings is different from the main author of these volumes of Genera Insectorum and (2) the author of the drawings died before 1942 – {{PD-old-70}}. However we need to prove it and to put his name into the “author” field. Mithril (talk) 03:50, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, i don't know how to deal the licenses very well.. i just followed the semi automatic instructive to upload the pictures. If you delete it i don't mind, though. --Ninovolador (talk) 01:28, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Well it's not a grievous fault. Just remember that (1) {{PD-US}} is for works originally published in the USA only, (2) {{self|...}} is for your own works only, (3) {{PD-author}} is for cases when the author explicitely declared his will. Mithril (talk) 07:01, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
