Goodies, tips, and tricks
  • Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities.
  • You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads.
  • Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~.
  • To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg.
  • You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account.
  • There are several tools to upload files.
  • Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful.
Made a mistake?
  • Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it.

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.
Thanks for uploading File:MyHouse.wad title screen.png. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.

Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own).

Warning: unless the permission information is given, the file may be deleted after seven days. Thank you.

File:Oksana Slinko.jpg

[edit]
File:Oksana Slinko.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!

Request for Explanation About Non-Free Status of Screenshots

[edit]

I am not sure that I understand. Are you and the policies and guidelines that you are referring to saying that a Microsoft copyright exists in screenshots taken on a computer running Microsoft utilities with a Microsoft operating system? I have just read the guideline that you referred to twice, and it appears that is what you mean, but it is hard for me to understand where it says that or how this applies. Is there a more detailed guideline that I can read that applies to Microsoft screenshots in Commons? Robert McClenon (talk) 23:59, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) @Robert McClenon: Please read COM:DW and COM:NETC.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 00:07, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, User:Jeff G. - You referred me to a page about derivative works, and a page about Internet images. I am not entirely sure that I understand what is considered in this context to be a derivative work of what, but I don't understand about Internet images, because these were not Internet images. At least, they were not on the Internet until I accidentally opened this can of worms by posting them to Commons. So how does the guideline on Internet images apply? Robert McClenon (talk) 00:18, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The image is of File Explorer, a product of Microsoft. Microsoft owns the copyright over the application, and screenshots of any application are subject to the underlying copyrights of the subject in the picture (COM:SCREENSHOTS). Microsoft does allow screenshots of their products to be used in a more so-called 'liberal' manner: they can be used generally, but are subject to restrictions. These restrictions include, for example, the inability to use only portions of the image, to be pornographic, etc. Because of these restrictions, these images are not free. More specifically, they are not free enough to be used on Commons: Commons hosts files that be used by "by anyone, anytime, for any purpose" (COM:L). Essentially, since Microsoft forbids alteration of screenshots of their products, these screenshots can't be used "for any purpose". I hope this helps.

More Questions

[edit]

Am I allowed to remove the speedy deletion tag, and then follow the deletion nomination instructions?

Is there a Help Desk on Commons where I can ask questions? Robert McClenon (talk) 00:18, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Robert McClenon: When Microsoft designed the underlying utilities and Operating System, the look and feel of the resulting interface was copyrighted by Microsoft as soon as (after 1989) it was fixed in a tangible medium of expression because that's when the US joined the Berne Convention and Microsoft is a US company based in Redmond, Washington State. Microsoft also employs a team of lawyers who have been copyrighting (for example) Windows 95 since 1995 and using various authenticity-verification schemes and the courts to maintain their monopoly. Your screenshots are derivative works of that interface, unless the parts of the interface used are below COM:TOO US. You may use the button labeled "Challenge speedy deletion" and "start a regular deletion request/discussion instead" to do the conversion in one click (after you have explained your reason). You are welcome to post to COM:HD, but I or one of the other helpers there will give you substantially the same answers.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 00:51, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, User:Jeff G.. I didn't see a button to "Challenge speedy deletion". I did see language to the effect that one can replace the speedy deletion with a regular deletion. I tried in Preview Mode to change the speedy deletion to a regular deletion, and I got an error message that said that I hadn't created a deletion discussion. I canceled out of that. Instead, I did a tool-aided Nominate for Deletion first. (I was about to write that I used Twinkle to nominate them for deletion, and then I realized that the tool probably isn't called Twinkle in Commons.) Then I removed the speedy deletion tag. My first instinct was that I shouldn't remove the speedy deletion tag, because removing a speedy deletion tag in the English Wikipedia is prohibited, and is also reverted by a bot. So I think that I have completed the changeover from speedy deletion to regular deletion. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:45, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Robert McClenon: You're welcome. I have opined at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Listing of C drive.png and Commons:Deletion requests/File:This PC with C highlight.png, mentioning WhoAteMyButter in the process. The button was between the big pink box and the "Summary" section header (wording from "{{int:filedesc}}") in special:diff/882258950.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 21:06, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there @WhoAteMyButter can you please review this image and it's corresponding images for verification.

I cannot help you; I am not a reviewer. WhoAteMyButter (talk) 18:25, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for marking File:Funke Abimbola.jpg as requiring permission

[edit]

Google Lens determined that it was a copyvio, and it has been deleted. In addition the uploader has received their second block here for uploading copyright violations. Your lead gave me the hint to follow it up. 🇺🇦 Timtrent 🇺🇦 talk to me 🇺🇦 15:50, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
