File:1ère Légion d'Honneur de la guerre janvier 1939.jpg

[edit]

1939 French photograph, would need more information on publication and the photographer to determine actual copyright status, very likely restored by URAA. Abzeronow (talk) 00:41, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Kawan Lama Sejahtera.jpg

[edit]

Unlikely an own work. Based on this thesis (https://kc.umn.ac.id/id/eprint/21185/4/BAB_II.pdf), this file is a crop from a photo owned by the company. Symphonium264 (talk) 02:12, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Out of scope: photos of various subjects all taken at oblique angles and/or with obtrusive filters. Please hold your camera level when taking pictures and disable image filters (like the text overlay in File:Puli kolam.jpg or the "film" appearance in File:Cute pencil.jpg).

Omphalographer (talk) 06:36, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd  Keep File:Cute pencil.jpg. Other photos that might be worth saving and that I'd on balance recommend keeping, though perhaps someone might want to straighten most of them out, are File:Milk sweet.jpg, File:Beetroot juice.jpg, File:Muskmelon juice.jpg, File:Steamed dumpling.jpg, File:Panacotta.jpg (because it's mango panna cotta), File:Pondicherry entrance gate.jpg (because it's much bigger than the alternative). I'd vote to  Delete the rest. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:52, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
File:Cute pencil.jpg has the "film filter" I was mentioning. It could be cropped but the resulting image would be under 400x600, barely a usable size. File:Pondicherry entrance gate.jpg has some weird lighting (reflections off a car window?) as well as the oblique angle. A lot of the food images have part of the subject partially out of frame, so it would be difficult to straighten them out without cropping out even more of the subject in the process or leaving a blank space "outside" the photo after rotation. Do we really have so few photos of food that we need to keep these? Omphalographer (talk) 17:51, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The question would be what photos we have of those specific foods and drinks. I didn't see any equivalent photos of mango panna cotta, but I didn't do a search for other photos of rose milk sweets. Considering that no space is saved when files are "deleted," maybe you should do those kinds of searches before nominating photos for deletion, but if you don't, it makes a whole lot of sense to err on the side of keeping files visible in borderline cases. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:37, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are worse images on Commons and we still keep them. Some people might appreciate the odd angles as a form of an artistic quirk. They might be usable for food or traveling blogs etc. where being educational can be achieved without following a strict "encyclopedic" format or style like on Wikipedia. So, while such images might not be suitable for use in Wikipedia, they still may be suitable for use on other platforms. Nakonana (talk) 09:42, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
File:Atlas front page.jpg and File:Atomic habits book.jpg might need to be deleted as they show potentially copyrighted book covers.
I've added categories to all other photos and think they can be kept. Nakonana (talk) 10:11, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Citu flag.jpg

[edit]

This file was initially tagged by GoldRoger487 as Speedy (speedydelete) and the most recent rationale was: Offensive
Converted to regular DR to allow for discussion. Rationale needs elaboration. -- Túrelio (talk) 07:52, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like someone is offended by the hammer and sickle. That's totally OK, but serious reference sites don't delete important symbols and images just because they may be offensive. Can you imagine if Wikipedia were restricted to inoffensive subjects? It would become utter pablum, rather than an encyclopedia. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:55, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It should no longer be deleted as it is the flag of the Centre of Indian Trade Unions and not a joke about the romanian polician Florin Citu.
I will add Category:Centre of Indian Trade Unions and Category:Flags of trade unions in India categories beside the current ones.GoldRoger487 (talk) 12:23, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Copyrighted background

Trade (talk) 15:04, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please elaborate how these files are breaking any copyright rules. I took these pictures and they do not violate any copyright laws or rules to the best of my knowledge. ThatGerman (talk) 16:03, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ThatGerman: are you saying that, for example, in File:Steam China Release Key Note Wallpaper Engine 2.jpg the image of the mountain visible on the screen is one that you created? Or that for some reason it is in the public domain? or what? - Jmabel ! talk 06:50, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
First of all, there is no need for a passive-aggressive tone, I am acting in good-faith and I am fairly aware of Wikimedia Commons' rules even though they can be a bit complicated dwhen it comes to nuances like this. The image you are referring to is indeed in the public domain, the original author made it free-to-use without the necessity to cite a source. Here's the original source of the image:
https://www.pexels.com/photo/lake-and-green-mountain-448751/
Besides this, it does not explain why all the other images were marked for deletion. I was at the event myself, I was granted the right to share the photos publicly without limitations and this is not a matter of "fair-use" or similar trickery. ThatGerman (talk) 13:39, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's the copyright of the wallpapers that i am concerned about Trade (talk) 15:47, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Let me provide some background: I was in attendance of the "Steam China" release event in 2019 as the developer of a popular Steam product named "Wallpaper Engine". If you will check the author name and our company imprint, you will find my full name in both places. Since I am, as a private person, very much interested in Steam and the video games industry, I decided to take these pictures and make them available on Wikimedia Commons since only very few western media outlets were present at the event, even though I considered the event itself very noteworthy for the video games industry.
The pictures I uploaded are very carefully selected to ensure that they only show content that I either hold the rights to myself (or they are public domain as discussed above) and I discussed the release of these images while at the venue with the company representatives of Valve (Steam). This is why there are no pictures of other products. The wallpapers on the other images you see are all dynamically rendered and our own work. ThatGerman (talk) 19:21, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ThatGerman: You might want to elaborate on that in the "permission" section of the {{Information}} template.
From what you are saying, these are probably OK, but I'm sure you can see why that was not obvious. - Jmabel ! talk 20:18, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ThatGerman there was nothing passive-aggressive intended in my question above. There are several elements here that are copyrightable, and it was imaginable that this was basically your own project (which sounds like it wasn't far off) and they were your own work. That would be the only case where the copyright issues here were genuinely simple. Otherwise, we need to account for copyrights and licenses at each level of derivative work. - Jmabel ! talk 19:30, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, I think I read the "or what?" in a more aggressive way that you intended. I can follow your reasoning. ThatGerman (talk) 19:40, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:S.Pz.Abt.506 Insignia.png

[edit]

This file was initially tagged by Wiiformii as Logo (help=off) See my talk page. Yann (talk) 18:44, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This file is in the public domain and should not be deleted.
This insignia is a coat of arms of a German Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts (corporation governed by public law). According to § 5 Abs.1 of the German Copyright law, official works such as coats of arms and flags are gemeinfrei (in the public domain). Since the Federal Republic of Germany is the legal successor of the Weimar Republic as well as of the "Third Reich" this law is also applicable to flags and coat of arms promulgated before 1945. Furthermore, the insignia is part of a statute, ordinance, official decree or judgment (official work) issued by a German authority or court, which means it is classified as gemeinfrei by the same law (§ 5 Abs.1 UrhG).

File:Felmy hellmuth.png

[edit]

This file (a ca. 1935 German photograph) was taken from the image database of the Bundesarchiv (German Federal Archive), see [1], but it is not a part of the large batch which was given to Commons by the archive under a CC license and uploaded by bot in 2008.

The file was uploaded by a Commons user in 2018, claiming that the photo is in the public domain because its author is anonymous and it was published over 70 years ago. However, we do not know enough about the context, time and place of first publication to determine if this is actually true.

Per COM:Germany#Anonymous and pseudonymous works, it is enough if the identity of the author has become known in some way that the photograph is not anonymous and a copyright term of 70 years pma applies. Also, a 1935 German photograph is very likely still protected in the US per the URAA. The file should therefore be deleted. It can be restored in 2056 with PD-old-assumed.

File:Villa Schwarzhaupt Regensburg Bavaria Am Klarenanger.jpg

[edit]

This is a 1942 photo by German (based in Regensburg) photographer Christoph Lang, who lived from 1895 to 1966 [2]. So the photograph is not in the public domain yet in both Germany and the US, and the file should be deleted. It can be restored in 2038 (URAA). Rosenzweig τ 21:34, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Badly-named uncat since 2017 Ukrainian photograph. Something that looks like a Ukrainian quote in upper center, possibly copyrighted. No context as to why this photograph is in scope. Abzeronow (talk) 23:05, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Weak keep This might be Hutsul embroidery and a quote by poet Natalia Baklai (Q12080464). Someone who knows more will be able to provide some basic context. Sinigh (talk) 13:48, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
