Please don't overcategorize files !

[edit]

Hi Xyxyzyz. Please don't overcategorize files. If you have an image of an ancient Roman oil lamp with an erotic scene of doggy position, don't add the Category:Ancient Roman erotic oil lamps, because the Category:Doggy style on Roman oil lamps is a subcategory of the Category:Human sexual intercourses on Roman oil lamps, which is a subcategory of Ancient Roman erotic oil lamps. Thank you. Best regards, --DenghiùComm (talk) 01:57, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please revert also all the overcategorization that you have made in Category:Sex in art and Category:Erotic art and other sexual or erotic categories. Control theyr subcategories and sub-subcategories ! Don't put files that are correctly categorized in theyr specific category also in generic categories ! Such categorizations are crazy and not useful ! Thanks. --DenghiùComm (talk) 02:52, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Fragment of terracotta vessel - 1a.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

How to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category

[edit]

When you want to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category, best practice is to mark it with {{SD|C2}} if it would be OK to re-create it in the future, given that appropriate content becomes available or {{SD|C1}} if it is an inappropriate category name that should not be reused. In particular, this is better practice than just blanking the category page, as you did at Category:Sexuality by period. ("C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion).

[edit]

Hi. I see you've been uploading a number of photos of ancient vases, statuettes, and other three-dimensional objects, some from museum web sites, others scanned from publications or collected from miscellaneous sources online. You have claimed PD-old-70 licenses for many of these, but while the objects themselves are in the public domain, the photographs are not. There are exceptions for two-dimensional artworks like paintings, but a photograph of any three-dimensional artwork is considered an new and independent work and the copyright is owned by the photographer or publisher, no matter how old the photographed object may be. In such cases, for the photo to be eligible for the Commons, the photographer or publisher must specifically release the photo with an acceptable license that authorizes free use for all purposes. The British Museum and the Louvre (two examples of institutions whose photos you have recently uploaded) do not allow such use, so uploading them to the Commons is a copyright violation. (The Getty Museum, on the other hand, has specifically released many of its photos under a CC0 license, so your uploads of File:Attic Kylix - Douris - Python - Around 480BCE - J. Paul Getty Museum - Object Number; 86.AE.290.jpg and other images of the same vase taken from the Getty web site are OK.) The same is true for images scanned from copyrighted print publications, or taken from random web sites like https://www.historia-del-arte-erotico.com/rom_objetos/. Such images are usually not acceptable for the Commons. You should assume that any photograph taken within the last century or so is under copyright unless you can prove that the copyright owner has released it under a free license, or unless you know for a fact that it qualifies as public domain for other reasons.

I'm sure it's discouraging to see so many of your uploads nominated for deletion, but Commons has to obey copyright law. You may want to review Commons:Copyright rules, and when in doubt about specific cases, ask at the Village Pump copyright page before you upload a file. Thanks, Crawdad Blues (talk) 13:16, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And I see you've just now done it again with File:Relief of sleeping man and siren (Boston MFA RES.08.34c) - 2.jpg. The Boston Museum of Fine Arts does not allow commercial use of its photos, and therefore they cannot be uploaded here. It is not enough to give a quick glance at the image download page and jump to the conclusion that because the artwork is in the public domain, the photo of the artwork is also PD. You need to read the museum's Terms of Use carefully, and if you have any doubt at all about whether an image is free for all uses, don't upload it. And never assign a CCO license unless you are the actual creator of the image and the copyright legally belongs to you.
This example is particularly hard to understand because the Commons already has a nearly identical, properly licensed free photo of the same sculpture (File:Relief of sleeping man and siren (Boston MFA RES.08.34c).jpg). So why was the image you uploaded from the MFA necessary at all? Crawdad Blues (talk) 18:54, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Xyxyzyz.

You have uploaded one or more files that are copyright violations. You have done so despite requests from editors not to do so, and despite their instructions. See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter useful.

This is your last warning. The next time you upload a file that violates copyright, you will be blocked. Please leave me a message if you have further questions.
