Has anyone actually asked you to delete this or are you just running around being overvigilant?
It looks from your list of entries you are of that sort. (Lots of items being tagged for deletion by you, probably without anyone who may own rights having asked you to.)
Please bear in mind that as we walk through our cities, just about everything we see has been CREATED by someone and therefore HAS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF SOME SORT attached to it. If someone builds a wall, it's their creation. If someone lays down a street pattern, it's their creation. Etc etc. Maybe the time to delete something is when someone actually takes the point, rather than you running around using your "initiative" to destroy other people'S work willy-nilly because you feel like it? You could pick on lots of my photos and say, hey, that's someone's art (e.g. railway entrance signs, for instance and you haven't picked on the others (as yet!).)
I actually find this tedious, rightly or wrongly. Because there's no point in taking pictures at all and putting them here if people like yourself come out of the woodwork and censor them - where does the censorship stop?
I will ask Joe and the Juice if they want it deleted. Probably they will, if so I will come back to you and confirm you should delete this. Or maybe they won't care. Colin McLaughlin (talk) 10:42, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
- I have written to them. email:
- Hi.
- I took a photo of your "Joe and the Juice" sign (as it's a cool sign) from the street as I was walking through London W9.
- I put a copy of this photo on Wikimedia Commons, among my various photos. The photo is "public domain" - i.e. anyone can use my photo free of charge, without consent, for any purpose.
- Technically your sign is copyright (i.e. subject to intellectual property rights as a design) so putting it on Wikimedia Commons has led me into conflict with the supervisors of that site, who want to delete my photograph. See the discussion here:
- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:JOE_%26_THE_JUICE_signage_Westbourne_Grove_W2.jpg
- Please would you ask the person who owns the rights in the sign (you will need to check who owns the design and copyright rights) if they want and require my photo to be deleted from Wikimedia Commons (in which case it will be deleted) or if you are happy for my photograph to stay in the public domain on Wikimedia Commons as an "anyone can use this photograph for any purpose" photograph.
- It's up to you. No urgency.
- Thanks,
- Colin McLaughlin
Colin McLaughlin (talk) 11:09, 29 October 2024 (UTC)- I have since added the photo to the Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_%26_The_Juice so please don't just delete this before a reply is received to the email above. Colin McLaughlin (talk) 11:51, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

And isn't it tactically questionable to illuminate buildings at night? This makes the buildings more visible and thus turns them into an easy target for further shelling. Why would Ukraine do this? And is the uploader a war photographer or why are they traveling all over Ukraine's war zone to upload a single photo of each location while removing all EXIF data from their photos and giving nonsense coordinates for the camera location? And why do all their uploads have weirdly curved buildings/windows/doors etc. or some other issues? Nakonana (talk) 22:05, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Copyright owner do now allow use in social media and modifications must be pre-approved. Thuresson (talk) 12:04, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
- Yes. This extra clause is obviously contrary to the terms of the license. The authors contacted us via VTR - so let's wait if they accept necessary amendments to their extra clause. Polimerek (talk) 12:31, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
- Although as the 'author' I am not involved in the 'VTR process' and do not know what "necessary amendments" have been proposed to the artist's "extra clause", is it possible that the requirements of this "extra clause" could be accommodated by extending the "Permissions" of the 'author' to the 'artist'? Thanks for your advice on this --SM:!) (talk) 07:52, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- Actually as it is "faithfull photocopy" of 2D work - photographer has in fact no extra creative input to this work, so the copyright solely belongs to authors of the original work. They have just accepted removal the part of the extra clause which was contrary to the terms of the licence and also sent their non-conditional agreement to CC By-SA 4.0 license. I have just accepted permission for “File:Łowicz 2023 36 Graces Church Jesus Painting.jpg” under ticket:2024102610000281. --Polimerek (talk) 11:21, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Third-party photos hosted on weather.gov 2024-10-28
[edit]- File:A tornado near Fort Stockton on June 2, 2023.jpg
- File:June 2023 North Antelope Rochelle Mine tornado.png

These images were all sourced from webpages of the US National Weather Service but are the work of third-party photographers.
For many years, hosting such images on the Commons was done under the rationale that:
- a process used for a time by the NWS Sioux City regional office that placed photos taken by the public into the public domain as a term of submisison applied to all third party images across all of weather.gov
- the wording of the general site disclaimer on weather.gov that says "The information on National Weather Service (NWS) Web pages are in the public domain, unless specifically noted otherwise" means "noted with a formal copyright notice" (and ignoring the wording later in the disclaimer that goes on to say "Third-party information and imagery are used under license by the individual third-party provider. [...] Please contact the third-party provider for information on your rights to further use these data/products.")
An extensive review of this rationale in 2024 revealed that:
- the NWS has had multiple, conflicting processes for public image submissions over the decades, some running concurrently by different regional offices (examples). Some of these processes made release into the public domain a condition of submission, others did not, and some were ambiguous. In practice, we can almost never link a particular image to any particular submission process.
- in every one of several dozen cases investigated, individual photographers and third-party organizations had not released their work into the public domain when they submitted it for the NWS to use, and still asserted their rights over their images.(examples) This indicates that either the site general disclaimer is not intended to be interpreted the way that uploaders to the Commons have interpreted it over the years, or that this interpretation is correct, but that NWS employees have applied notices to images so very inconsistently over the years as to render the disclaimer completely unreliable.
These findings were confirmed in an RfC conducted from August to October 2024.
Per COM:ONUS it is the responsibility of the person uploading an image to the Commons or anyone arguing for its retention here to obtain permission of the copyright holder. Nevertheless, to expedite this process (and because throughout this review period, the people arguing most strenuously for retention have been remarkably reticent to actually ask photographers about the copyright status of their images), I have approached every one of the creators I have been able to identify.
Number | File | Basis of identification | Contact | VRT ticket | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1027-1 | File:A tornado near Fort Stockton on June 2, 2023.jpg | Confirmed: photographer confirms that the photo is theirs and that they retain the copyright. | Stopped responding September 25 when I asked about their willingness to release under a free license | ticket:2024102610000799 | |
1027-2 | File:June 2023 North Antelope Rochelle Mine tornado.png | Confirmed: image is a still from a video posted on the creator's X stream the day after the event. FWIW, in the thread that follows, someone local to the area informs the creator that they were mistaken about their location when they shot the video. The videographer agrees, but the NWS clearly didn't catch this and still posted it as being shot at Antelope. The thread also contains multiple media outlets asking permission to use the footage, and the videographer confirming that they are the sole owner of it. | Emailed September 12; no response | ticket:2024102710001965 | |

We do not have any evidence that any of these images are available under a free license and we cannot host them here. --Rlandmann (talk) 12:58, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

- I notice a lot of people stop responding when you ask about releasing the image under a free license. Could people think it's a scam of some kind? Are you mentioning creative commons? TornadoLGS (talk) 20:18, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- Silence is difficult to interpret. However, we can get some idea of people's reactions from the folks who respond in the negative. You don't see those on these mass deletion requests, because as soon as I've been getting an explicitly negative response, I've been opening a specific DR for that specific image itself. So the spread of responses you're seeing (for example) above is skewed to "stopped responding". You can see a collection of explicitly negative responses here that might give some insight into your question.
- The fact that we've been hosting their work without permission in the first place seems to upset some people. Others have expressed regret but rely on their photography as an income and don't want to give anything away.
- I mention the Creative Commons in the second or third message, depending on how quickly we establish that I'm communicating with the right person. A couple of people have wanted more details about the license itself, which I provided.
- I also speculate that the dense, legalese wording of our licensing template probably looks offputting and suspicious to some people. I mean, put yourself in their shoes: some random stranger emails you or messages you on Facebook asking about a photo you took years and years ago -- obviously, they've tracked you down somehow. Then they ask about copyright and licenses and about signing some mysterious, legal-looking document. At least one person I was emailing was unaware that they even owned a copyright on the photos they took.
- I've never had anyone actually respond with an explicit accusation of a scam, but it's certainly possible and IMHO even likely that's what some people might be thinking.
- Out of dozens and dozens of these inquiries I've sent out now over the last two months, only two people have been willing to release their work, and even then, in one case, VRT was not initially willing to accept their release and we had to jump through several more steps to get the license cleared. Most people aren't going to be willing to jump through all those hoops when there's literally no benefit to them whatsoever. --Rlandmann (talk) 21:20, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- Sometimes I wonder if our procedures for sending permission are too complicated. It seems even some Commons users couldn't be bothered to go through the process for files they do own the copyrights to. A lot of deletion discussions go like this:
- Someone uploads what they claim to be their own work to Commons.
- The file is nominated for deletion because it has been previously published.
- The uploader says they are the copyright holder.
- The uploader is instructed to go to Commons:Volunteer Response Team and follow the directions there.
- *crickets*
- And then the file gets deleted even though it is plausible that the uploader is the copyright holder. Ixfd64 (talk) 00:44, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

This file was initially tagged by Jarnsax as Copyvio (copyvio) and the most recent rationale was: Video is a derivative work of a video game4 copyrighted by Microsoft. The provided license can only apply to the content authored by the licensor. PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 14:18, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
- Info Commons:Undeletion_requests/Archive/2023-12#Age_of_Empires_videos, snapshot by Wayback Machine offers a CC BY note to that video --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 14:20, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
- The problem is not the CC-BY license. I don't claim that it "itself" is invalid. It can only apply, though, to content that was owned by the person who licensed it.
- This video is a derivative work. It contains not only material created and owned by the "immediate author", but also material (the graphic elements of the game itself) that is copyrighted by Microsoft. We do not have a license from Microsoft for that material (which was presumably used by the "immediate author" under fair use, as the video as a whole is clearly commentary and transformative). That doesn't help us, though.
- Since the included copyrighted (and unlicened) material is obviously not incidental, hosting it on Commons is a copyvio. The video would need to be redacted (which would make it pointless). Jarnsax (talk) 14:32, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
- Just as a note, from skimming the prior related DRs, I don't see this as an issue that was discussed. This is an issue with the content of the specific video, not with the "validity" of the CC-BY license given at the source. The author of this specific video licensed content they don't own. Jarnsax (talk) 14:36, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
- It's possible that I am misunderstanding the situation, and that this video is actually being licensed under CC-BY by Microsoft itself, here. That is extremely unlikely, however, as by doing so they would be licensing all of the content in the video under that license. It seems extremely unlikely that Microsoft has intentionally released parts of the actual game (that are included in this video) under that license, since it would allow competitors to clone them. Jarnsax (talk) 14:48, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, this is complicated, but I get the point, sounds reasonable :) --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 14:56, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
- I skimmed through the videos by AoE, are there videos with the similar/same problem? --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 15:01, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
- FWIW, I think it's most likely that the CC-BY license is actually "from" whatever ad agency Microsoft hires to run their social media accounts.
- The key thing to keep in mind is that any video like this (that shows software) is a derivative work, and essentially a series of screenshots. Read Commons:Screenshots#Software (which specifically uses Microsoft as an example of "not ok").

Jarnsax (talk) 14:48, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
- Just as a note, from skimming the prior related DRs, I don't see this as an issue that was discussed. This is an issue with the content of the specific video, not with the "validity" of the CC-BY license given at the source. The author of this specific video licensed content they don't own. Jarnsax (talk) 14:36, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
- My feeling is that videos like File:Age of Empires II- DE - Lords of the West - AVAILABLE NOW.webm are okay. The license pretty clearly seem to apply to the video "as a whole," which is basically an advertisement... it's inherently a "work" in and of itself. While it does show bits of the game, it's in no way "about" the bits that it shows. They are just incidental. You could substitute any or all of them for different bits of the game, or pan them differently, and while the result might not be as good artistically, none of individual changes would really make any difference. It's totally a judgement call as to where this line falls, but IMO any DW that's essentially "about" the specific copyrighted content that it includes, or uses a specific bit of copyrighted content extensively is pretty unarguably "not ok" for Commons.
- It's perfectly "legal" for a third party to make a video that includes such stuff, and freely license their video, as long as they meet the requirements of fair use. An example off the top of my head would be a video teaching how to do something with a specific program. That content just isn't ok on Commons if the underlying work itself isn't free or freely licensed. Jarnsax (talk) 15:53, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
- Not to berate all this, but since it is complicated, an egregious counterexample. If I happen to be wearing a t-shirt that has a copyrighted logo on it, and I make a hour-long video giving a tour of some museum while wearing it, then it's pretty obviously incidental use. That I'm wearing a shirt is certainly relevant to the video, but.... the legal criteria would be w:de minimis. Jarnsax (talk) 16:05, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
- Or maybe a more pointed example. If I use a free web browser to make a video showing how to use Google, I don't need a license for the thumbnails of copyrighted content that Google shows me.... not only are they incidental, but Google won that lawsuit. :) Jarnsax (talk) 16:28, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Commons:Youtube washing. NewsAlert, an YouTube ccount with three subscribers, has taken a video of the NPP's press conference on 13 August 2024 from Anura Kumara Dissanayake's YouTibe account (434k subcribers), cropped it and passed it off as its own work, releasing it under a Creative Commons licence.
