[edit]and
These pages only pretend that there is content but they are empty. -guety July 1, 2005 02:47 (UTC)
First article deleted, the second has content now. Thuresson 01:05, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
Image most probable copyrighted, as it comes from a commercial company website. And we already have additional two images of the same event: Image:Soyuz TMA-6 launch.jpg and Image:Blast off of Soyuz 041505.jpg. Image is not used on any wikipedia. --Bricktop 1 July 2005 11:02 (UTC)
- On the uploader's talk page, User talk:Ygrek, uploader claims that he/she tagged the image as PD since there was no copyright info on the web page. Thuresson 1 July 2005 15:46 (UTC)
- I have seen carefully the page of Energy Corporation and have not found any information on copyrights. Moreover, I have sent them E-mail where asked of the permission to use of their photos, but no any answer received. I have pointed the URL, there photo has been taken. Besides, another Web pages use photos from Web page of the Energy Corporation too.(for example, here http://www.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/content/z13.04.05.shtml )--Ygrek 2 July 2005 18:27 (UTC)
- Don't know if this image is indeed copyrighted, but I don't think we should allow a commercial usage of this image. And due to the fact that we already have other two images of the same launch event, I think we shouldn't take the risk and remove this one. --Bricktop 2 July 2005 23:17 (UTC)

Just read that Gunther von Hagens does only allows to take pictures under strikt restrictions, so these were taken unlawful. They should be delete as copyvios. -guety July 1, 2005 02:21 (UTC) (No deletionrequest on the pictures because I uploaded them and already know about the deletionrequest)
- Actually, no, whether or not the photography was illegal, the photographs are not invalid (copyright free) merely because the by-laws locally were unfavourable. These shouldn't be deleted unless it can be shown that they are also copyvios or otherwise under a non-free licence, but given that (apparently) you took them, they are fine. James F. (talk) 2 July 2005 01:11 (UTC)
- I don't took them, I just uploaded them to commons. I'm sure there were taken and licenced as cc-by-sa in good faith, but nonetheless violate the Hausrecht (rights of the householder? [1]) -guety July 2, 2005 22:18 (UTC)
- I don't disagree that the photographer almost certainly violated the by-laws of the exhibition hall (or whatever), but the important point is that this has no bearing whatsoever on the images' copyright status. We don't delete images because they're illegal for non-copyright reasons (or, at least, for non-copyright reasons that only are in effect outside of Florida, where we are legally liable). James F. (talk) 8 July 2005 11:32 (UTC)

I agree with James F. I've heard the suggestion that images should be legal in Florida, where the photo was taken, and in the photographer's country of citizenship. But I think that if the photo is legal in Florida, that's good enough. dbenbenn | talk 14:54, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit]This page has been created erroneously for an image of mung bean sprouts. However, "mung bean" is Vigna radiata, whereas Phaseolus mungo is a synonym of Vigna mungo (black gram ). I moved the photo to Vigna radiata. So the page now is empty and should be deleted. --Franz Xaver 2 July 2005 14:47 (UTC)

Do we make a category for each user ? I don't think so. Yann 3 July 2005 14:55 (UTC)

- Was this discussed before ? I am a bit surprised. Yann 7 July 2005 21:05 (UTC)
- I think there should at least be a naming convention for those categories. Something like [[Categorie:User/Name]] or [[Categorie:User:Name]]. I don't know what would be possible with Mediawiki. --80.137.17.182 8 July 2005 15:44 (UTC)
- Some have proposed to create a specific gallery page such as http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Nitot/gallery . It does not solve the problem I tried to solve by creating this Nitot category, which is to have a Gallery of all my picture contributions. —Nitot 12:16, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit]This was recorded 'off-the-cuff' by a single person, then uploaded as a 'Wikinews audio broadcast'. It was not based on any Wikinews articles (although some have been written around it since), nor was it sanctioned by the Wikinews community. The person simply recorded what he felt like then uploaded it. Dan100 5 July 2005 11:11 (UTC)
- Keep. This recording follows the transcript available at en:n:Wikinews:Audio Wikinews/Transcripts/July 2, 2005. I see no reason to delete this. Thuresson 00:02, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
- You miss the point. The transcript was written after the recording was made. 81.79.46.211 10:55, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

It's an amateurish cutout of Image:Kooikerhondje.jpg. I don't think we should be encouraging this kind of modification. If you want a photo of a dog on a white background, put the dog on a white background, then take the picture. Don't try to fake it afterwards. Not used, after I removed it from Kooikerhondje. dbenbenn | talk 5 July 2005 22:39 (UTC)

Terms of use from the website the picture is from: "2.) Selling and redistribution of these photos (individually, or as a whole) without written permission is prohibited. Using the photos in website templates, on postcards, mugs etc. doesn't count as selling or redistribution, however you are not allowed to build a gallery using the photos you downloaded from here." There are more restrictions (may not be used for adult oriented material etc.). I don't think that's fit for Commons, is it? --AndreasPraefcke 6 July 2005 07:46 (UTC)

[edit]London Underground maps
[edit]Simon Clarke allows non-commercial use of his London Underground map and it is used by permission on English Wikipedia. Because of confusion about the license, it has been uploaded to WikiCommons. See also en:Template talk:Simon Clarke Tube Map.
The map and its derivative work should be deleted.

- Image:London Underground Zone1 Anschlaege en.png
- I thougth, thats Image:London Underground Zone1.png is okay. So I made other versions (terrorist attacks). I didn't knew, that is a copyright violation. So I suppose, of course. --Jcornelius 9 July 2005 09:18 (UTC)
These aren't copy-vios; they are curvy lines drawn through fixed points in pretty colours. The claim is that, by extracting the positions of the stations from a map (that would be, well, pure data), this somehow makes the data under copyright. This is a ... 'curious' argument. Certainly, it is not a legally valid one in the United States, AFAIAA, which is quite frankly all that matters in the case of Commons hosting.
James F. (talk) 14:37, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
- That's an interesting standpoint. After all, all drawings are lines on paper. This drawing of curvy lines in pretty colours also has a copyright claim, I notice. Thuresson 21:41, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
- My point is that the "fixed points" are necessarily the same, because of what they represent.
- James F. (talk) 01:46, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
Anyway, this is moot; I have deleted the original map, and replaced it with one that Ed and I have made as a suite.

I tagged this {{Copyvio}} yesterday, but the uploader reverted without explanation. It's marked as {{PD}}, with the reasoning "Being an announcement, this information is considered to be in the Public Domain." I'm pretty sure that's nonsense, and that this text, like anything else creative, is copyrighted. dbenbenn | talk 8 July 2005 14:40 (UTC)
- Same thing goes for Image:Nettsigae.jpg. dbenbenn | talk 8 July 2005 14:41 (UTC)
- Delete - everything must be assumed to be copyrighted unless the author states otherwise explicitely. Also, the uploader has a history of uploading files with dubious copyright status. -- Duesentrieb 8 July 2005 16:00 (UTC)
- Delete the first image, which is likely nicked off some news site. The other one looks OK, but should be verified and if possible replaced by a higher res version. --Mayhem 9 July 2005 00:07 (UTC)
- this image is from english wikipedia en:Image:Al Qaeda responsible.jpg, it's under PD licence! 02:06, 9 July 2005 Mosesofmason
- But some/most of us didn't believe it's PD. Somthing isn't PD automatically when someone tag it so. --Avatar 9 July 2005 07:54 (UTC)
- I just got this image from english wiki. so if you would like request delete this image, you should tag it by template:deletion request in english wikipedia first, isn't it? 9 July 2005 09:51 (UTC) Mosesofmason
- It isn't. First of all, our primary concern is Wikimedia Commons. Of course, we are also interested in wp-en. Second, the en-wp uses (and most of us strongly dislike that) fair-use. Even if there are many, many images in en-wp which are tagged as fair-use but are clearly only copyvios, THIS image would be fair-use. So it's supposable a good thing to change the license, but I strongly discourage from putting up a deletion request in wp-en. --Avatar 9 July 2005 10:15 (UTC)
- I think, all responsibility claims are per definitionem in public domain, hence i strongly advocate to keep the image. Regards, Daniel FR 9 July 2005 15:00 (UTC)

- We can assume that the terrorist group has basically forfeited any copyright they have, since no judge in their right mind would award damages to terrorists. We can do whatever we like with Al Qaeda's "intellectual property" - as we can safely say no one will charge us in court for violating Al Qaeda's copyrihgt. -- Natalinasmpf 9 July 2005 16:41 (UTC)
I assume that this will be dealt with just like other web screenshots, e.g. assume that content is protected by copyright unless publisher explicitly allows free use or similar. Thuresson 23:47, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
No, because then our excessive use of it will be restricted. The publisher doesn't have to explicitly allow free use - for goodness sake, they're terrorists. We can safely assume they've forfeited their copyrights: who's going to uphold it in court? -- Natalinasmpf 04:17, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
- Ok, here are a few point to consider:
- "announcements" are certainly not automatically PD. Press statements, blurps from news agencies etc are copyrighted.
- what is legal and compiant to our policy is different from what we can get away with. I don't belive the latter should be a criterion.
- Even terrorists have rights, althogh some people may not think so. If we deny them those rights, we are lowering ourselfs to their level.
- I think this should be treated like any other screenshot of anything on the web - it's not free unless the author explicitely releases it or the copyright expires.
- Now, the text may be trivial enough to be considered PD, i don't know, I can't read it. It would also be good to know where it was first published and what the copyright laws are there.
- Best, upload this picture to the en:wp as fair use - it is fair use.

[edit]Nice pictures, but unusuable for wikimedia projects. Unused, except for the uploader's personal page on the German Wikipedia. (Ec: Consider hosting the pictures outside of wikimedia.) --Martinroell 9 July 2005 08:52 (UTC)
Wrong spelling - see also The International Plant Names Index. This misspelling is very uncommon: With Google 3630 hits for the correct spelling "Senecio inaequidens" and only 7 hits for the misspelling "Senecio inequidens". So there is no redirect page needed. --Franz Xaver 9 July 2005 11:34 (UTC)
- Keep as a redirect. The numbers given above means that 2 out of a 1000 have used this exact misspelling, and considering that redirects take up very, very little space I think that's enough to keep it. Cnyborg 23:37, 9 July 2005 (UTC)

Image is not PD in Germany: 70 years after death of photographer is the condition here. Therefore the picture is to be deleted in de-Wikipedia as well. --Svencb 9 July 2005 15:06 (UTC)
- It was most likely taken in Norway, but the Norwegian law is the same; 70 years after the death of the photographer. Unless someone can name the photographer and it turns out that he died before 1934, it should be deleted. Cnyborg 23:40, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
- I've searched, and pictures apparently taken om the same occasion are shown at http://www.hamsun.no/norholmbilder.html. It seems it was taken by Anders Beer Wilse, who died in 1949. Thus, it will no be PD until 2020. Cnyborg 23:46, 9 July 2005 (UTC)

This image lacks information about the author. It's taken from en-wiki where it has GFDL license. The person who added the photo there said it's from fr-wiki. The page on fr-wiki says the picture is from de-wiki as a PD-image. The image was removed from the German article on breasts stating that the image was deleted ("Bild raus, wird gelöscht"). I don't know de-wiki enough to say the reason for the decision to delete but I suspect it's copyright problems. CSamulili 17:42, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
- Additional information from from de-wikiSee "1. Märtz" here. Tells that the image was originally uploaded by a user "Roughneck" and many of his images have been removed. CSamulili 18:21, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
- Nice detective work there! A moment I though somebody was trying to get it deleted because of the nudity, which I would have opposed :). Thue 20:40, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
- Nah, not me. I can't deny the esthetic value of the image :) CSamulili 11:33, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
- As I understand it, the image was deleted in de.wikipedia after the uploader ("Roughneck") had requested deletion, although at first glance the license seemed to be OK. Pjacobi thinks that "Roughneck" is angry as many of his images had been deleted because of license problems. And finally zeno questions the correctness of the license, probably thinking that it had been faked. So probably in de.wikipedia the photo was deleted because the license status "unknown" had been attributed to it. --Franz Xaver 05:58, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

In german law it is said: ->
The use of under some points without permission of the owner allowed. 1.) If the owner has no financial loss of this use. 2.) If the used part is small, and is for the demonstration of a scientific interessting thing. In german text: ->
Die Verwendung von Zitaten ist durch das Urheberrecht geregelt und unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen gestattet, ohne dass eine Erlaubnis des Urhebers eingeholt oder diesem eine Vergütung gezahlt werden müsste (§ 51 UrhG in Deutschland, siehe unten). Die allgemeine Begründung dafür ist, dass Zitate der kulturellen und wissenschaftlichen Weiterentwicklung einer Gesellschaft dienen (siehe auch Informationsfreiheit).
Zitate sind mit Quellenvermerken zu versehen (Gebot der Quellenangabe in § 63 UhrG im Sinne einer genauen Angabe der Fundstelle). Das Zitatrecht dürfen nur Werke beanspruchen, die selbst urheberrechtlichen Schutz genießen, also eine eigene „Schaffenshöhe“ aufweisen. Demnach dürfen sich Zitatsammlungen, die ausschließlich Fremdleistungen wiedergeben, nicht auf das Zitatrecht berufen. Die (wirtschaftlichen) Interessen des Urhebers bzw. Rechteinhabers des zitierten Werkes dürfen durch ein Zitat nicht über Gebühr eingeschränkt werden. -> Durch ein kurzes Midi-Beispiel wird ja niemand vom CD-Kauf abgehalten, eher animiert.
Unterschieden werden:
Kleinzitate dürfen weiterreichend verwendet werden. Der Zitierzweck muss erkennbar sein. Das Zitat muss also in irgendeiner Beziehung zu der eigenen Leistung stehen, beispielsweise als Erörterungsgrundlage. Der Umfang des Zitats muss dem Zweck angemessen sein.' -> Im Artikel dient es der Untersuchung der Musik. Es sind nur Stellen zitiert, die ein gewisses Merkmal beleuchten (Intervalle,etc.)
Zitate in der Wikipedia
Kleinzitate im Sinne kurzer Entnahmen aus geschützten Werken sind ohne weiteres zulässig. Da das deutsche Urheberrechtsgesetz eine deutliche Quellenangabe verlangt, ist darauf zu achten, dass die genaue Fundstelle nachgewiesen wird (im Sinne einer bibliographischen Angabe mit Autor, Titel, Publikationsort, bei längeren Werken, aus denen entnommen wird, mit Seitenzahl oder Abschnittsangabe).
Zitate im Deutschen Urheberrecht
Im deutschen Urheberrecht gilt für Zitate der Paragraph 51 (Stand: 10.9.2003):
UrhG § 51 Zitate Zulässig ist die Vervielfältigung, Verbreitung und öffentliche Wiedergabe, wenn in einem durch den Zweck gebotenen Umfang 1. einzelne Werke nach dem Erscheinen in ein selbständiges wissenschaftliches Werk zur Erläuterung des Inhalts aufgenommen werden, 2. Stellen eines Werkes nach der Veröffentlichung in einem selbständigen Sprachwerk angeführt werden, 3. einzelne Stellen eines erschienenen Werkes der Musik in einem selbständigen Werk der Musik angeführt werden.

- As I said before, there are no articles on commons. -guety 14:10, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
- I requested deletion for these files because they do not have a copyright tag. I'm not quite sure why you refer to German law for fair use when Commons rules do not allow fair use. According to Somalian law, copyright violators get their left hand chopped off, their children slapped in the face and other relatives verbally abused. All you have to know is that WikiCommons do not allow material not licensed under a free license, eg. public domain, GFDL, Creative Commons or similiar. I also question that you can claim copyright when you upload works of Bruce Springsteen, Mike Oldfield and Toto. Instead of reading German law, I kindly advise you to read Commons:Licensing.

Deleted. Some people from Dusiburg are using wikimedia projects for propagating their dispute over the local mayor. NPOV is constantly violated. In addition to the missing license, the uploader constantly vandalised the picture by uploading new versions with political propaganda with the name of the old file, a politician's portrait.

[edit]How many plants should go in there? 3.000 species, each with many single images? This category was just created today, I removed the only 3 entries (single images). Category:Plants of Europe is not better at the moment anyway. It doesn´t make sense to sort all plants or animals to such small regions compared to their complete - and in most cases much bigger - distribution area IMO. Most alpine plants are not restricted to the alps; although there are some unique or typical species of alpine flora, of course. So should we keep this category? And if yes, with which content and shouldcomparable categories for plants in western europe, eastern europe, scandinavia, the british isles, iberia, the balkans ... also be created as subcategories of "Plants in Europe"? That could be useful in the future, I know, but only if it is used with good reason ...

- @Herrick "The picture was also deleted in xyz" is not an valid argumentation line for a deletion request. Yes, the penis is shown naturally... not shaved, not pierced, not... It's a simple documentary picture of a part of the human body. It could be, that someone has heavy problems with his/her own body. But this picture shows no XXX nudity or offending content (only if someone owns no private parts). KEEP. 84.59.38.111 01:37, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
- I wouldn't say it's XXX, there is no sexual act going on in the picture. It is a quite good illustration of the change between the two states. Whether or not the person photographed enjoys having his private parts shown to the world is in my opinion not very relavant here, it's whether or not this is a picture that can be of any use to a Wikimedia project and if so, if it is within the accepted limits of decency. I'd say yes to both, so keep. Cnyborg 12:37, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Keep - That a penis can be errected is a medical fact. This photo shows an erected penis and the difference to an unerrected. Therefore it is an explaining medical picture like in medical / biological books. By the way, in many countries (e.g. germany, where the picture is in the penis-article)a picture of an erected penis is not porn by default, because it can be used in science-, encyclopedia-, teaching- etc. -ways. - Tobias 6.8.05

Keep --142.163.130.240 18:39, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
Keep - My wife and I are going to have our first child, a boy, in a few months. We are trying to decide whether to circumcise him or not. I am 33 years old, but I had absolutely no idea what an uncircumcised penis even looked like because I am circumcised. After making an image search on Google for "uncircumcised penis" and having to sift through truly pornographic pictures I was pleased when Wikipedia came to the rescue with the aforementioned picture. It was simple and perfectly showed me what a normal, natural, uncircumcised penis looks like.
- Keep-- There's no sexual activity going on. The main purpose here is not for exhibitionism or other sexual reasons; it's information. Besides, what's so wrong with looking at a part of the human body? We know that it's there, so why not? There's a few other pictures of the genitals floating around. And there's nothing wrong with the human body, let alone an erect penis. And as so few in the United States have seen an uncircumcised penis, it can put to rest any curiousities as to what one looks like (albeit informationally and not through desire); online, too many people will find pornographic images of penises when all that they wanted was a simple medical image. 22:38, 11 August, 2005
Keep: it's a simple comparison photo. ~ Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 06:26, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

- Well, i'm not sure I understand you argument. Are you saying "They are terrorists, and terrorists don't have any rights"? Or are you saying "They are a legitemite government, so the flags are PD"? I can't really follow either of the arugments.
- Anyway, some information about the origine of the flags would be good - how old are they? Who created, or at least, wo adopted/used them first, and when? In most jurisdictions, there is copyright on any work of art, automatically - the flags would have to be exempt by law explicitely.
- Furthermore, "Google" is not a valid image source, you should at least point to the web page you found the images. Note that i'm not saying those flags are not PD - I just don't know, but you don't seem to know either, really. So, some reseach would be excelent. Maybe ther's even an interresting story to this that would be worth mentioning in the Wikipedia articles about the PKK. -- Duesentrieb 11:23, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

- Err. realise that they are not related to the PKK in any way. PKK is the only place you can argue about copyrights. The design of the image is not copyrightable. You cannot "alter in any way the images" means that they hold copyrights to any image that looks remotely like the PKK flag. Since they dont own the copyrights in the first place (as pkk does as it is PKK which designed their own flag) this isn't a valid copyright statement. Simmilar PKK images are avalible in multiple websites. --Cool Cat My Talk 20:38, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
