Reminder

[edit]

Hi Rob Lowe - Smartify. I noticed that you've made a malformed deletion request. Here, {{Delete}} is not for speedy deletion, please see COM:DP. When you want to delete a page by manually using the {{Delete}} template (rather than the automatic Nominate for deletion tool in the Tools menu on the sidebar per COM:DR#Starting requests), you must follow the instructions in the template, including the "Click here to show further instructions" portion (or Commons:Deletion requests/Listing a request manually policy), otherwise you will create a lot of work for other people.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 03:40, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

PD-art

[edit]

Hi Rob, most of the files you're uploading seem to be of 2D works of art that are in the public domain. Can you also add a PD-art template to these uploads? I would suggest you use {{Licensed-PD-Art}} to also keep the {{Cc-zero}}, see this example and another example with the date of death. Multichill (talk) 11:11, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, sorry for delay in responding. Desperately trying upload the last Yale stragglers, then Covid struck. I'm happy to add the Licensed-PD-Art template to all the Yale content I've added. However, Yale were quite particular about the licences they wanted used in Wikidata and Commons - there was a lot of debate about it before the Commons Bot flag was approved. So I've just asked the Yale curator in charge of the upload from their end to ask if they are happy with that. If they are I'll make the change to the 30,000 or so artworks involved.

In my experience American museums are always quite careful when it comes to copyright and legal exposure so your story sounds familiar.
Be careful to use {{Licensed-PD-Art}} only on 2D works. The long version is at Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. Looking at this search, that's most of your uploads. Multichill (talk) 18:43, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
