are you a dictator???

The image I uploaded is from twitter, from official group. I am not doing anything Illegal, the source is in it. The company will not message me as it doesn't message anyone. So how do I tell them to "send an e-mail" to the supreme court of VRT ???? bro just leave me alone is only a page for kpop group no one cares for it. DanielMBBR (talk) 15:32, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

@DanielMBBR: I'm to take it that you did not create this photo, right? — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 15:35, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

When you upload the photo you have 2 choices, my own picture or NOT my own picture. of course its not my picture. but the english wikipedia editor of lapillus did this to this picture https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LapillusPNGlogo.png and i don't know why this inquisition in what i did upload (sorry my english is not perfect) DanielMBBR (talk) 15:37, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

if is impossible to say what i have to do just delete, or tell me how do i can upload in right way. I don't understand those licenses and really don't care about it, I just want to know how do I post it cause the guy I showed in the link did the same as me and did not got tagged like this... DanielMBBR (talk) 15:43, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

please if you can answer... i know you probably have more things to do, me too. You guys that do this probably feel like politicians with power really the world don't care about anything and you are just wasting my time creating barriers that really do not exist DanielMBBR (talk) 15:46, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

I don't really feel like a politician with power over the laws of copyright, no. As you admitted above, you've uploaded a copyrighted and non-free photograph, which is wholly incompatible with out license terms — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 15:51, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

@DanielMBBR: If you look at File:LapillusPNGlogo.png, you will note that it is tagged with a notice that requests permission be sent to VRT. That previous image slipped through the cracks; South Korea has a relatively low threshold of originality, so I've requested that they send permission as well. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 15:47, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

well dictator you are. so just waste your time with this entire sh*t, you think you are the greatest right? excluding things from the others, maybe your life is a lot boring, anyway i really don't care. Just do your stupid things DanielMBBR (talk) 15:49, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Possible confusion on PD-Brazil-URAA

Hello, you have just nominated a few files I upoloaded to deletion. However, according to your own explanation on why they should be nominated, you seem to have misunderstood the licensing tag PD-Brazil-URAA, for you mentioned that it was not published before 1989. HOWEVER, the year set on the tag is 1998 AND NOT 1989. I suppose you might have flipped the digits when you read it fast. Best regards, Przelijpdahl (talk) 19:00, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

{{re|Przelijpdahl} No, the {{PD-Brazil-URAA}} template states that This work is in the public domain both in Brazil and in the United States because it was first published in Brazil (and not published in the U.S. within 30 days) and it was first published before 1 March 1989 without complying with U.S. copyright formalities (underline mine). There is also a reference to 1998, which occurs in the line Photographic works not considered to be "artistic creations" produced before 20 June 1998, but that's a different part of the tag altogether, and both need to be satisfied for this to be PD in the USA. I'll explain this more in-detail on the DR. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 19:09, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

File:IreneCara1983disco.png

Hi! Another file (IreneCara1983disco.png) not free in the US. With strange fakes when copied (copied not from an Argentine cover, but clearly from a cover from another country). Look into this discussion (Village pump/Copyright) to see if it (IreneCara1983disco.png) (and its copy (Irene_Cara.png)) should be removed as well? Ortegomin (talk) 00:58, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

@Red-tailed hawk: What do you think of these files, delete? - Ortegomin (talk) 03:33, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
If the only thing known about these images is that they were published in Argentina in 1983 and not republished in the United States within thirty days of its publication abroad, then it would have been copyrighted in Argentina on the URAA date in 1996, and would therefore be presumed copyrighted in the United States under the URAA. That all being said, per COM:URAA, A mere allegation that the URAA applies to a file cannot be the sole reason for deletion. If the end result of copyright evaluation is that there is significant doubt about the freedom of a file under U.S. or local law, the file must be deleted in line with the precautionary principle, so it would require me to do a more in-depth evaluation on the history of the particular photo before I could definitely say that it is a copyright violation. But I don't think it would be wrong to send it to COM:DR if you think that it is non-free in the United States. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 03:35, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

With all due respect, I'm only attempting to delete the license plates that are copyrighted and not available under a free license. If the license plates are below France's threshold of originality, I would see no reason to delete it. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 06:20, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Except that this subject of protected license plates was discussed last year and those some were removed while the others were not because they were not protected (especially MN plates). Today, when I haven't contributed for more than a year, you threaten to block me. I don't have the health or the morale to fight again : so, thank you for deleting ALL my photos otherwise I will make a deletion request. Drake317 (talk) 06:56, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Copyright Violations

All images I’ve uploaded are either public domain or given permission from the owner of a photo. I don’t understand why I’ve been flagged this many times. Please remove these violations. Nicholas Krasznavolgyi (talk) 04:26, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

I'll provide all of my evidence here, the photos were either from NWS pages (public domain, still given credit to either the DAT or photographer, and satellite imagery from other sites, or news agencies), or given permission from other photographers to include photos on a page. If you have any issues please let me know, and if there's anything else I could do to prevent these violations as it's soon going to block me even though I had no intentions of purposefully uploading these photos to create these violations, even though most are public domain or permission given, thanks!

One more pointer, most of the tornado or damage photos on Wikipedia would be taken down if given the same violations I was given for photos I used in PUBLIC DOMAIN, examples such as "File:April 27 2011 Philadelphia, MS Tornado Damage.jpg" or "File:Joplin tornado photo.jpg". Nicholas Krasznavolgyi (talk) 10:07, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

I believe all tags were correctly placed: mere permission to use on Wikipedia is not a sufficiently free license for Commons, mere use in a news report or on a commercial website does not cast something into the public domain, images with copyright notices from third parties can't be presumed to be PD even if they're on a government site, and ESA images are not presumed in the public domain.

Sidenote to the village pump discussion

Hi, Red-tailed hawk. I saw your comment at the Village Pump about obscenity and Commons' scope. I am wondering what you think of Commons hosting the Abu Ghraib torture images. Cheers, Genericusername57 (talk) 18:44, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

I'm somewhat unfamiliar with those images; would you be willing to provide a description of what they depict? — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 03:11, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

During the Iraq War, soldiers at a U.S. military prison took photos of themselves abusing detainees. Some of the images show sexual violence: the soldiers stripped the prisoners naked, forced them to assume degrading poses or made them perform or simulate sexual acts, and then photographed them to humiliate them. Other images show torture, gory injuries, and corpses. This report includes written descriptions of some of the photographs (but does not display the images themselves).

If it were up to me, I would remove the explicit photographs of living Abu Ghraib victims from Commons. I think Commons should have zero tolerance for image-based sexual abuse. Someone might argue, though, that the pictures' notoriety and historical importance (and the fact that several of them are in use on other Wikimedia projects) put them within Commons' scope. Genericusername57 (talk) 16:34, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

@Genericusername57: COM:NOTCENSORED, plus what you note, would override how you personally think Commons should handle them, with no offense (and, obviously, you could start a discussion to change relevant policies). Heavy Water (talk) 02:04, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

To respond briefly, I do have significant moral qualms about including those images that contain photos of identifiable people who were photographed or videotaped naked without their consent—and those qualms are much, much stronger for living people who can be identified in photographs in which they are being sexually abused. The images probably aren't obscene under the Miller test at this point as hosted on Commons due to their (post-creation) political value, though I have near-zero doubt if someone were to create like images at a domestic U.S. prison tomorrow that they would be justifiably charged with violating U.S. obscenity laws.

There are going to be some times where images of violent terrorism and other acts against human dignity are going to be proper on Commons (there is zero doubt that a photograph of a plane hitting the Twin Towers is in scope), but there are obviously images (like any CSAM) that we ought not host for reasons that go beyond mere adherence to U.S. law. We partly address this sort of thing with COM:Photographs of identifiable people, which states that [p]ublishing a photo of an identifiable person in a private place usually requires consent, that [c]ommon decency and respect for human dignity may influence the decision whether to host an image above that required by the law, but also reminds us that [i]n the same way as quality newspapers may apply a "public interest" test to doubtful images, the degree to which an image meets our educational project scope may also be considered. In other words, when we're deciding to host a file, and if that file was taken in a means that burden someone's privacy, the current guidance is that harm caused ought be weighed against the educational value the image provides; we don't have an outright ban nor blanket endorsement regarding the uploading of photos that burden an individual's privacy. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 03:52, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Comment

Hello @Red-tailed hawk, I hope you're doing well. I came across your comment at LR. Would you mind explaining it to me, what you really meant?. Courtesy ping to @Krd As an admin I assume you both have researched about the deleted file, where did I go wrong. Thanks C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 16:41, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

From what I'm able to gather, you're asking about of the part of the commend related to the am730-sourced file, right? The file itself came from a YouTube page of a major cantonese-language newspaper in HK that has its own photograph department. The screenshot comes from at some point between 0:43 and 0:47 in that YouTube video, so the only question is if am730's staff are actually the photographers of that photo. There are other photographs of that 204 wedding online (such as here), but all of the photos of the moment seem to be at different angles than the one that am730 used.

The phrasing I used in that comment (not so sure that the deletion request was wisely made was more negative than I had intended to convey; something more like was uploaded from the freely licensed official channel of a major news organization would have been better, and would not have (inaccurately) conveyed that there was something wrong with bringing it to DR. My apologies for this, and I will strike and modify the comment quickly. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 17:24, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

@Red-tailed hawk Yes I agree and my concern were also the same. So I opened a DR for the file which ended with no participation. Thanks. C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 08:59, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Deletion closing despite ongoing discussion

You closed the deletion request Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Interior of Uelzen train station despite there is an ongoing discussion on that question at Commons:Village pump/Proposals. All deletions in this field should be stalled until there is a decision. GPSLeo (talk) 07:04, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello. I was unaware of that discussion when closing the DR, as the discussion was not mentioned at the DR and no objection to the DR was stated. I reviewed COM:FOP Germany, which states that many academic and extra-judicial commentators argue that publicly accessible station halls, subway stations, and departure halls fall short of the "public" requirement because they are not in the same way dedicated to the public as streets, ways, or public open spaces, and the underlying law specifically states It is permitted to reproduce, distribute and make available to the public works located permanently on public paths, roads or open spaces. In the case of buildings, this authorisation only extends to the façade.. In German (which bears the weight of official law), the bolded part comes out to Bei Bauwerken erstrecken sich diese Befugnisse nur auf die äußere Ansicht, with die äußere Ansicht being crystal clear that this refers to the view of the building from the outside. In the absence of a community consensus one way or the other on this, COM:PRP guides: where there is significant doubt about the freedom of a particular file, it should be deleted. And, there is significant doubt about those files in light of the text of the underlying law as well as the present language at COM:FOP Germany.

If that discussion at the village pump ends in a consensus that these sorts of photographs are OK, then I will be happy to undelete the files. Alternatively, if there are specific photos in that bunch that you believe do not depict anything potentially subject to copyright protection (such as humans or utilitarian objects), then I would be happy to take a look and undelete that. But, until that discussion gains a consensus one way or the other, I think that COM:PRP guides deletion here — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 14:19, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Request from Mouad Benouzekri

Hello @Red-tailed hawk, I hope you're doing well. My work in the page " Tbourida Art, History And Tradition In Morocco " which featured an audio of 11minutes, was deleted because it was detected as not freely licensed content, while the reason was right, I need to explain, in fact i uploaded the audio in a youtube video privately which you detected, but it's still my own work, which i now deleted from youtube, and you can check from the link(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypviKKz9NgY) that doesn't exist anymore, i hope the wikimedia commons i created can be brought back, because i am participating in a local competition, and i submitted this link to the competition, so my question can the page been brought back? or should I uploaded again from zero? which wouldn't be ideal because the competiton dates closed. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mouad Benouzekri (talk • contribs) 23:57, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

F10

Hi, you removed an F10 speedy RfD with the reason This does not appear to be a photograph, so it cannot be deleted under F10 ("Personal photos by non-contributors"). However, reason F10 explicitely mentions other personal images. I’ve also been given the impression that this is the correct SD reason for logos etc. and not Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion#G10. Can I look up current policy on the matter somewhere or raise the question in another forum so I nominate files correctly in the future? --Emu (talk) 07:01, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

The discussion that led to the creation of that criterion is available here. My reading of the discussion is that the "images" in "other personal images" refers to non-selfie photographs. I suppose you're right in that a pure reading of the text of the policy could refer to other personal non-photograph images (such as their kid's watercolor from 2nd grade art class), but I don't think that this was the intent of the policy per se.

However, the discussion that led to that being created does not deal at all with non-notable corporate logos—those sorts of things are not eligible for F10 deletion as they are not personal images. If their upload was done for the purposes of advertising, and there are other contributions (on Commons or on other projects) that indicate that their intent was advertising/spam, then G!0 takes care of that. If the logo is above the relevant threshold of originality, then we might want to check for evidence of permission with a {{No permission}} tag (or a more direct {{Copyvio}} tag if the logo is almost certainly not own work/not released under a free license), but I don't see any other sorts of scope-based reasons to speedy delete the file that would apply here.

With respect to the specific file, I do actually think that it could reasonable be in-scope; it's a nice clipart of an Einstein-like college professor that could easily be used educationally by re-users to represent professors/scientists/Einstein, and speedy deletion should only be used in uncontroversial cases (which this is not). My only present concern with the file is the copyright situation, but there is already a {{No permission}} tag on the file, so I see no need to take action on a speedy until the seven day period is up. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 13:28, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi Red Tailed Hawk, I could not find the author and the source of this photo: File:Old pictorial reinterpretation of the current via Zurlo (formerly Via Pietro Badoglio).jpg, therefore you can proceed to delete it from the Wikipedia project, thank you of the notice you left me but it is better to follow the Wikipedia Commons rules than to go against the law.

Undeletion request

Hey, you have undeleted this file thanks to this undeletion request. I see now that it was deleted in 2021 due to not having any source. Funnily, it was marked by @A1Cafel, who apparently had some problems with the No source tool back then (I was not on Commons, so I am not totally sure about that). The uploader was @Carlosarias~commonswiki, who is not active on Commons for almost 14 years now.

I cannot guarantee, as I cannot see them, but I suppose most of his deleted files are works from Agência Brasil. (Luckily I was able to check the aforementioned image of Castro on Wayback Machine. For instance, File:Lula and Castro9852.jpeg is probably somewhere here, but I cannot confirm this.) Is there any possibility of you undeleting all those files marked as No source by A1Cafel? I am willing to provide sources to all of those files wherever it is possible. Should I open an undeletion request in order to formalize it? Sincerely, RodRabelo7 (talk) 01:32, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Comment Pinging @Andy Dingley. RodRabelo7 (talk) 01:36, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

@RodRabelo7: Indeed, the specific photo that you've given as an example is the same as this photo, which can be reached from the 26 September 2003 page that you've linked above. If you could file an undeletion request for formality sake, it would be appreciated. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 02:15, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Also, as a quick note for posterity, the uploader was User:Carlosar~commonswiki. There's a list of images on their talk page that may well be verifiable from the agency, but I would need to take a look individually to see if they warrant undeletion. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 02:18, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Agree with Red-tailed hawk. A formal undeletion request would be useful, just as a placeholder to track the efforts.

This is a good example of the difference between deletion for some useful reason, and bulk deletions of old images, just because their metadata isn't in the same format we'd use today. Some editors see this as a need to fix the issue, maybe find their sources and record that, whilst others just see it as another exciting opportunity to do some serious admin bizniz and get more stuff deleted. We don't need the second group editing here. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:24, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

File:Apsara Dance, Siem Reap, Cambodia, Oct. 2008.jpg

Hi RTH, I hope you are doing good. I was reviewing this file and it appears fine to me. The metadata on Commons matches with the metadata on Flickr but the account appears blacklisted and I see you have handled two DRs relevant to this. ─ The Aafī (^talk) 18:16, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi! I'm thinking that what to do with the photos from this account is probably best suited for COM:VPC to get broader feedback. The account very clearly has done flickrwashing, but it's also probably created some (if not most) of the images that it's posted, so it's not an easy case that a speedy deletion criterion is built for. There are also too many images for a DR to be able to be held for reasons of page size, so an abstract discussion at VPC about how to deal with this in general might help us chip away at the problem images while not disrupting other processes on Commons in the meantime. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 02:37, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

I've been slowly working on these photographs, and I've worked on some to verify that the photographer took photographs with the camera listed in the EXIF or at least actually possessed the camera. I'm a bit stuck on File:Hindu temple at Grand Bassin Mauritius.jpg though, there is no camera EXIF. I've found a photograph of the photographer https://www.flickr.com/photos/shankaronline/7637239012/in/photostream/ that says Mauritius, March 2005 in the description (also missing camera EXIF) EDIT: This one also says Mauritius, March 2005 https://www.flickr.com/photos/shankaronline/7637240232/in/photostream/ Abzeronow (talk) 18:52, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

For something like that, it's likely that we've got a scan of a print; 2005 was still in the time where film cameras were in widespread use, so I wouldn't necessarily expect to see camera-specific EXIF data. Those two photos you gave direct off-wiki links to are pretty clearly of the account holder, so I don't see it unreasonable to say that the account holder is the photographer of the first one. That being said, if he's also uploading his wife's photographs and labeling them under a CC license, we may well have a broader problem... — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 02:35, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Yes, that would definitely be a problem if he were doing that. Thanks for the input on that particular photograph. And yes, VPC would also be a good forum to discuss how to deal with it in general. Abzeronow (talk) 15:38, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

File:PeriodPantiesBreasts.jpg

The source site for this file https://www.vulvani.com/en/vulvani-gallery-free-stock-photos-menstruation does state that pictures are under a Creative Commons license but doesn't state which license that is. It does also add "We only ask you to give us the credits – in the captions and in the alt text ‘Photo by Vulvani – www.www.vulvani.com’ with an active link." which could mean a simple CC-BY license. There is also the matter of the container depicted in the photograph, is that copyrightable? Just trying to figure out if I should do anything beyond the no license warning I had just given. Abzeronow (talk) 16:05, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

@Abzeronow: The problem is that it's something of a crayon license if they don't specify the version; CC-BY-ND is just as consistent with the terms of the website as would be CC-BY, and there isn't anything specific given as to whether or not derivative works are permitted from what I can tell.

What would be better is if we could somehow get in contact with the people who operate the website to understand which license they're talking about and to update the website accordingly. Alas, that takes a bit of time, and there's not a guarantee that we'd get a response. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 00:34, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll just let it sit in the "no license since" category until it is deleted since as you say, the CC license could be a CC-BY-ND one. Abzeronow (talk) 15:56, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Readding of Flickrreview

Hello. I noticed you have readded {{Flickrreview}} to 4753 files but without removing the already present {{Flickrreview}} template so now it seems like there are 4753 files with the template doubled. How did you think there?🤔 Also why did you append the template at the end of the page instead of under the licensing header where it usually sits after the license template? Jonteemil (talk) 12:39, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi!

My intent when re-adding them was because the specific Flickr user had been added to the Flickr blacklist for flickrwashing. The account is the same one alluded to by The Aafi above. My understanding of this is that the bot would come along and update the second Flickrreview template and note this, as well as placing them in the Category:Flickr images from bad authors, which would allow them to be put into the proper queue to be manually reviewed by humans. I understand it's a bit nonstandard to have two templates, but my though process was that the result was fine in terms of the human-readable output and would allow reviewers manually going through them to make the manual adjustments after they confirm (or not) that the picture appears to have been taken by the owner of that Flickr account. Abzeronow (also in the discussion above regarding File:Apsara Dance, Siem Reap, Cambodia, Oct. 2008.jpg) is one such person.

I understand this solution of having both tags may not be ideal, but I think it's an improvement over the previous situation (where no notice was made on the page that the author was on the bad authors list and where there was no category that could be used to track this). — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 01:05, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

I see. I think I now have fixed all 4753 files so only the {{FlickreviewR}} template that was added now is left, thank God for VisualFileChange. Perhaps next time you can just use the custom replace mode on VisualFileChange and replace the old FlickreviewR template with the new one, so the template doesn't get duplicated.

Hello, I saw you closed Commons:Deletion requests/Yes (musical group) logos and Commons:Deletion requests/File:King Crimson Logo.png as delete as the files possibly/probably were copyrighted in the UK. I nominated another file for deletion with pretty much the same rationale, but this one was kept because closer thinks calligraphy can't be copyrighted. Is this true? If so, were does it say?

@Jonteemil: In the U.K., sophisticated calligraphy can be subject to copyright protections (indeed, the logo of Edge Magazine, which is even simpler than most calligraphy, is subject to copyright protection there). I'm not sure that I would agree with the closer of that discussion, but I can't unilaterally undo the close. I would suggest opening a discussion at COM:VPC if there's broader concern about U.K. calligraphy, or to get more eyes, if you cannot resolve this with the closer. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 02:00, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

License plates in USA

Hi, I came accross Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:License plates of Minnesota and others. Don't they need a copyright notice to be under a copyright? I thought all license plates in USA are in the public domain for some reason. Yann (talk) 13:17, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

@Yann: Hi! My understanding is that license plate designs are not different than other state and local works for purposes of copyright law. Many license plate designs are simple ({{PD-ineligible}}), and almost every license plate design first published before 1 March 1989 is going to be PD for lack of notice (either {{PD-US-no-notice}} or {{PD-US-1989}}; it’s very rare for copyrights to have been registered). There are of course some exceptions where older plates are copyrighted due to having notice or being derivative of a non-government work (Commons:Deletion requests/File:California 1984 Olympics Motorcycle license plate.png, for example, is a case where the plate was published with notice and was a derivative work of a registered copyrighted design). But license plates aren’t special things (they aren’t edicts of government); as with all eligible works published in the U.S. after 1 March 1989, license plates above the threshold of originality are presumed subject to copyright protection unless the copyright holder waives it. There also isn’t FOP in the USA for works other than architecture,

I’ve tried to be selective with the nominations (i.e. I’ve tried to be sure the designs are first published after 1 March 1989 and are sufficiently complex to warrant protection before I nominated them). If you see particular nominations that are erroneous please let me know—I’m not perfect—but my understanding is that those license plates in the DR you’ve linked are almost certainly non-free.

Website of the President of Kyrgyzstan

Hello! Last week you received permission to use the official portrait of the President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov under the terms of the CC-BY-SA 4.0 license and over the weekend you posted it on Wikimedia Commons. Do you plan to obtain permission for the entire Kyrgyz presidential website? In this case, it will become the first presidential website in Central Asia to receive a free license. At the same time, photographs of Kyrgyz politicians are taken mainly from the Russian presidential website Kremlin.ru, as well as a number of other sources.

@Red-tailed hawk If anything, you can discuss further questions via wiki-mail, since it concerns confidential information that is not subject to public disclosure. Send your version of the appeal there, and I will translate it into Russian for you. By the way, if you download images, their quality here is much higher than from the website of the President of Russia (since 2015, photographs on Kremlin.ru are published with a resolution of 1880x1160, while on its subsidiary sites it is 2-3 times larger).
