Photo of copyright poster. ed g2stalk 00:26, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There were discrepancies on german wikipedia, too. But instead of clarifying it, the user took refuge on commons.

Here a user asks because of "permission to GNU FDL for own work ???" Without answering user radoste put the picture on commons. (I hope deletion on german Wikipedia will not be too fast!)

 Keep Judging by the text you provide, I can not see the copyright issue -- to me it says "Gordana Schwartze took this picture (self-created) / Agreement to release under GFDL license conveyed by user:radoste" / Fred Chess 22:11, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep The image size for the posed (last, likely High School from Backdrop) picture (and a couple of the others) indicates to me you're looking at stuff from a family member if not the musician himself. Certainly several cameras have been involved, different screen resolutions than are on the fan site, etc. All adds up to versimilitude to me. No third party is going to get their hands on such covering so many years and events. Note the images on the fan site are all compressed compared to the uploaded ones... normally by quite a bit. Getting noticed, and staying noticed is the only way such folks grind out a living. They certainly aren't going to complain if they're garnering publicity. In short, no liability, no downside, and likely the preformer himself is the user. de.wiki should decide whether he's notable, but the album covers are pretty conclusive there. And I don't have a clue on reading German, but I'll bet the user hasn't done a lot of other editing. Can anyone check that? So that make it self-promotion— seems reasonable rather than starving... maybe he's got some kids in college.<g> // FrankB 08:01, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what the official name in Belgium is for its capital. However, I'm sure having a category for the Dutch and French names is more appropriate than one for the English name. Everything should probably be moved to Category:Brussel and have redirects from Bruxelles and Brussels, because it's just wrong to have a category with two names. Good god, I'm sorry I brought it up.

So, and what about the official German name of the city: Brüssel. Shall we have a category:Brussel - Bruxelles - Brüssel? Nonesense! --ALE! 07:23, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category names should be english, because category redirects do not (yet) work. I'm working on a way to display translated category names automatically, see bugzilla:5638. Also, I don't think a "double name" is a gode idea at all. -- Duesentrieb(?!) 20:06, 4 May 2006 (UTC) fyi, Brussels is called Bruxelles in French, and Brussel in Dutch, both are official names for the city as it's bilingual (French/Dutch) territory.

Uploader seems to have made a mistake when he didn't check the copyright situation (we talked on fi-wiki), but the original uploader on en-wiki seems to have either deliberately or unwittingly added false copyright tags.

Closeup photo of a copyrighted logo (of the Englsh Rugby Football Union) ed g2stalk 17:35, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's a photo from shirt I have. I don't think there are copyright issues in taking a photo of a shirt i bought. If copyrighted objects can't appear in photos then you should remove all the photos where commercial and non commercial signs, drinks cans and bottles, appear. Of course it's just my opinion and I'll accept any decision because I understand my position it's highly opinable. BTW a similiar photos of a different subject was deleted without any notice, so thank you or letting me know :) --Massimo Finizio 08:21, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Is this a matter of copyright or of trademark? Can the logo, which is at least 80 years old, and a rather standard way of depicting a rose, be copyrighted? / Fred Chess 10:57, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Would that make a difference with refard to deleting the image? -Samulili 09:55, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
AFIK there is no restrictions on using trademarks in encyclopedias -- the restriction only applies for the commercial in the countries where the object is trademarked. Furthermore, since no-one owns them (i.e. no copyright), their regulations are independant of the GFDL, which is only a copyright license. This is the way it has been presented to me -- I think it was user:Historiograf who presented it in this way.
"Specifically, the following are generally not allowed: -- Trademarked symbols, logos, etc". Commons:Licensing#Acceptable_licenses. -Samulili 11:01, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If you ask "Why should this matter", then I'd answer that some Wikipedias (most notably the German, which is the second largest wiki in the world) only use Commons for their images, so it matters to them.
Fred Chess 14:07, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Still, German Wikipedia allows upload of logos, if they are below the German Schöpfungshöhe (en:Threshold of originality), which makes them PD, or the uploader gives a special (free) licence for the logo. In these cases, the logos are marked with a special template to make sure, that the copyright licence does not affect any trademark rules. For further information you best contact user:Historiograf. --Taxman(de) 13:42, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

 Commentmay i point that this is not the real rose used by the royal family. the tudor rose, or english rose has one layer of white petals and one of red. like you may see [here]or [here] there is something called the english rose, wich is a sort of rose. but that one is no logo. Yet this image was on a shirt. i would sugest that the company that made the trico is contacted and asked weather "them" had trademark that rose.LadyofHats 10:44, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:555 recieved upon his request a clarification ( "O uso do material é exclusivamente para fins de cobertura jornalística. Não há qualquer autorização para derivações e uso comercial." - Use of the material is permitted exclusively for journalistic coverage. Derivations and commercial use are not authorized.) of their license (see [3] and [4]). As there was enough time for others to share their points if he is right and if Template:Agência Brasil is really unfree (see Commons_talk:Licensing and my call at pt.wikipedia village pump) and nothing came out that did proof 555's view on that very topic wrong I thatfor made Template:Agência Brasil a deletion request template and thus moved all these images here for deletion (I hesitated to make a speedy maybe some further pt.wikipedia people still can wake up). So please help as well notifying all uploaders of images from Agência Brasil with the usual notification template given at the deletion tag of every image. Arnomane 09:58, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Misunderstanding about Agencia Brasil. Must not be deleted

[edit]
  • The licence of Agencia Brasil textually says: The use of the photos produced by Agencia Brasil is free... According to the law it is due to register the credit, i.e. name of the photographer/Abr (O uso das fotos produzidas pela Agência Brasil é livre...De acordo com a legislação em vigor, é obrigatório registrar o crédito, como por exemplo : Nome do fotografo/ABr.[5]".

This is the official licence. It's very clear it's not only for journalists, and also by teachers, reserchers, and people in general. And it is also very clear that it can be used by commercial press. The replay to User:555 clarification is not official. Notice it's made by "Eurico Tavares, Assessor da Diretoria de Jornalismo" that is (Eurico Tavares, Adviser of the Press Director). He is not an authority, and he is probably misunderstanding the message.

SO PLEASE, DONT DELETE THE IMAGES. YOU HAVE TO ACT ACCORDING TO THE LICENSE.

Regards, --Roblespepe 02:52, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

commercial press is exactly not enough A free license needs to permit all commercial use, not only commercial press use. Please don't misunderstand wikipedia and commons as a storage for pictures to be used in wikipedia. They are for storing pictures to be used by everyone under a free license that permits creating arbitrary derivative works and use the picture commercially in an arbitrary way. There is only a 'free use' statement on their web site, which is ambiguous and needs to be interpreted in the most careful way (free journalistic reproduction here). We were asking for permission to use outside this careful interpretation. If we want to keep the picture, we need an explicit permission from an authorized person that commercial use beyond press use is permitted for everyone. We did not get such a permission. Instead, we got an explicit clarification from a non-authorized person that we won't get such an explicit permission from an authorized person. That is enough of a reason to delete the pictures. If you want the pictures not to be deleted prove you are right by getting them to change their unclear statement into a CC-by-sa tag on their web site --Rtc 00:32, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, Rtc, but I think you act out of unjustified paranoia. Just because we don't have an explicit-extreme-with-out-a-doubt permission doesn't mean we have to delete an image. And it appears that most users and administrators share this viewpoint with me. / Fred Chess 19:56, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
ACK --Historiograf 23:46, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I absolutely agree. There is no legal reason to delete such images. Hell, even keeping clearly nonderivative and noncommercial images (such as this one, because of clarification) is entirely legal of course. It is only a question of commons policy (voluntarily and intentionally rejecting a broad range of licenses) and commons policy must not be confused with the law! Now what is the problem? The problem is that people, contrary to commons policy want to keep journalistic and nonderivative pictures here, primarily for use in Wikipedia. The consequence is dogmatic and irrational behaviour of wishful instead of careful interpretation of licenses etc. This deletion request is a very good example: We have a clarification yet people (not only User:Roblespepe, see the template discussion) are trying to argue for ignoring it and to keep the pictures. I vote for deleting these pictures and for a wikimedia commons that has pictures unequivocally under a free license. I want pictures that can be modified and commercially exploited without to suspect that the pictures are there legally, but the given licensing information is wrong. Is your objection only against my 'copyright paranoia' view, as you call it? Or is it a objection against deleting the pictures in this particular case? --Rtc 21:29, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Kept for now -- lack of consensus and activity. It has not yet been suffciently shown that these images can not be used in accordance with Commons policies. I suggest that further discussion about Agencia Brasil be made at Commons_talk:Licensing.

  • What is wrong with the original pronuncation (by someone else, I see - you should at least have the courtesy to notify them! - I see you did on their en.wp page)? Having two different pronuncations helps rather than hinders, I would have thought. pfctdayelise (translate?) 06:23, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete Both pronounciations are not perfect. The first one has an English tone to it. The second is a little bit too slowly spoken. If I had to decide I would prefer the second one (de-sensburg.ogg). Having two versions does not really help. --ALE! 22:29, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In general this is not required but in suspicious cases yes, it is. The Commons is intentionally conservative when it comes to possible copyright violation. This is about trying to truly maintain a databse of truly freely licensed images, not censorship. Trying to dance around the rules is not going to help you when it is extremely likely that the image creator is not the photographer of those photographs it incorporates. As I said on the image talk page, they can prove that they are the photographer by uploading the original high resolution images. I even suggested to you to just remake it with freely licensed images and then there will be no problem. pfctdayelise (translate?) 12:49, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dieses Bild zeigt lediglich revisionistische Phantasien. Diese Karte zeigt einen Staat, der nie existiert hat. Die deutschsprachigen Gebiete Böhmens und Mährens waren niemals Bestandteil der Republik Österreich. Daher ist diese Darstellung nicht neutral, sondern steht in der Tradition revisionistischer Geschichtsschreibung.

This image is merely a representation of revisionist phantasies. This map shows a state which never existed. The German-speaking territories of Bohemia and Moravia were never part of the Republic of Austria.

    • Well, the caption translates as "The composition/structure (?!?) of the Republic of German Austria compared to the present-day Republic of Austria".

  •  Keep - Lieber Johannes Rohr, Dein Löschantrag ist völlig unbegründet. Dieser Staat bestand ziemlich genau 1 Jahr (1918-1919)!

Um "ausnahmsweise" einmal eine "neutrale" Quelle zu nennen, folgt nun ein Auszug aus dem "Atlas zur Zeitgeschichte: Europa im 20. Jahrhundert" (ISBN 3-85447-434-2) vom Österreicher Manfred Scheuch. Dieses ist 1992 im Verlag Christian Brandtstätter erschienen und gehört zur "Standart Bibliothek" der österreichischen Zeitung "Der Standart"!

Auszug (S. 124ff):

"Die Republik Österreich hat ihr Selbstverständnis nach 1945 durch die Erfahrungen mit dem Hitlerstaat, durch den Staatsvertrag und die von ihr erklärte Neutralität gefunden. Als sie - als "Rest" eines Großreiches - entstand, glaubten die wenigsten an den "Staat, den keiner wollte".

Punkt 10 des "14-Punkte"-Katalogs des amerikanischen Präsidenten lautete: "Den Völkern von Österreich-Ungarn", deren Platz unter den anderen Nationen wir sichergestellt und gewährt sehen wünschen, soll die freieste Gelegenheit zu einer autonomen Entwicklung geboten werden". (...)

Österreich berief sich in seinem Ersuchen um Waffenstillstand - das übrigens unbeantwortet blieb - auf Wilsons 14 Punkte, (...)

Nachdem Thomas Masaryks tschechoslowakische Exilregierung von den Westmächten am 14. Oktober 1918 anerkannt worden war und die Gründung eines tschechoslowakischen Staates sich abzeichnete, kamen die deutschsprachigen Abgeordneten des Reichsrates am 21. Oktober im niederösterreichischen Landhaus in Wien zur Sitzung der "Provisorischen Nationalversammlung des selbständigen Deutsch-österreichischen Staates" zusammen. Die Staatsgründung Deutsch-Österreichs wurde am 30. Oktober vollzogen; dessen Verfassung trug bereits republikanische Züge - obwohl Kaiser Karl erst am 11. November abdankte. Die ersten Sätze der Erklärung lauteten: "Deutsch-Österreich ist eine demokratische Republik. Alle öffentliche Gewalten werden vom Volk eingesetzt. Deutsch-Österreich ist ein Bestandteil der Deutschen Republik".

(...)

Vor allem ging es ja um die künftigen Grenzen. Im Hoffen auf die Gewährung des Selbstbestimmungsrechtes glaubte man, zumindest das geschlossene deutsche Siedlungsgebiet für Österreich erhalten zu können. Am 22. November gab die Nationalversammlung eine entsprechende Erklärung ab: "Die Republik Deutsch-Österreich übt volle Gebietshoheit über das geschlossene Siedlungsgebiet der Deutschen innerhalb der bisherigen im Reichsrate vertretenen Königreiche und Länder aus. die Republik umfaßt: Die Länder Österreich unter der Enns einschließlich des Kreises Deutsch-Südmähren und des deutschen Gebietes um Neubistritz, Österreich ob der Enns einschließlich des Kreises Deutsch-Südböhmen, Salzburg, Steiermark und Kärnten mit Ausschluß der geschlossenen jugoslawischen Siedlungsgebiete, die Grafschaft Tirol, Vorarlberg, Deutschböhmen und Sudetenland sowie die deutschen Siedlungsgebiete von Brünn, Iglau und Olmütz."

Zudem behielt sich die Republik die Rechtshoheit über andere deutsche Sprachinseln vor: Für das Industriegebiet Ostmährens und Ostschlesiens wurde ein Österreichisch-tschechoslowakisch-polnisches Kondominium vorgeschlagen. Für die geschlossenen deutschen Siedlungsgebiete der ungarischen Komitate Preßburg, Wiesenburg, Ödenburg und Eisenburg (daher der Name "Burgenland" wurde das Selbstbestimmungsrecht verlangt; die deutschen Sprachinseln in Ungarn sollten "kraft ihrer bisherigen mehrhundertjährigen Reichsgemeinschaft zum nationalen Interessenbereiche des Staates Deutsch-Österreich" gehören.

Soweit der Österreicher Scheuch.

Damit ist es eindeutig klar, wie unsinnig und politisch motiviert Dein Löschantrag ist; allein Deine Formulierung ist eindeutig!

Dear Johannes Rohr, Your delete request is completely unfounded. This state existed quite exactly 1 year (1918-1919)! In order to call "exeptionally" once a "neutral" source, now an excerpt follows from the "Atlas to contemporary history: Europe in 20. Century "(ISBN 3-85447-434-2) by Austrian Manfred Scheuch. This appeared 1992 in the publishing house Christian Brandtstaetter and belonged to the "kind of condition library" of the Austrian newspaper "of the kind of condition"! Excerpt (S. 124ff): "the Republic of Austria found its self understanding after 1945 by the experiences with the Hitler state, by the convention and the neutrality explained by it. As it - as "remainder" of a large realm - developed, believed the few in the "state, which none wanted". Point 10 of the "14-Punkte"-Katalogs of the American president read: "the peoples of Austria Hungary", whose place under the other nations granted we see guaranteed and to wish, are the freieste opportunity to an autonomous development are ordered ". (...) Austria appointed itself in its request for Armistice - which remained by the way unanswered - on Wilsons 14 points, (...) After Thomas Masaryks Czechoslovakian government-in-exile had been recognized by the Western powers on 14 October 1918 and the establishment of a Czechoslovakian state appeared, the German-speaking delegates of the realm advice met on 21 October in the down-Austrian country house in Vienna for the meeting of the "provisional national assembly of the independent Deutsch-Oesterreich state". The establishment of state of Deutsch-Oesterreich was carried out on 30 October; its condition carried already republican courses - although emperor Karl resigned only on 11 November. The first sets of the explanation read: "Deutsch-Oesterreich is a democratic republic. All public force is used by the people. Deutsch-Oesterreich is a component of the German republic ". (...) Above all it concerned the future borders. In hoping for the grant of the right of self-determination one believed to be able to receive at least the closed German settlement area for Austria. On 22 November the national assembly made an appropriate declaration: "the Republic of Deutsch-Oesterreich practices full sovereignty over the closed settlement area of the Germans within the past in realm rate of represented kingdoms and countries from the republic enclosure: The countries Austria under the Enns including the circle Deutsch-Suedmaehren and the German area over newbe-cut, Austria whether the Enns including the circle Deutsch- Suedboehmen, Salzburg, Steiermark and Kaernten with exclusion of the closed Yugoslav settlement areas, the county Tirol, Vorarlberg, Deutschboehmen and Sudetenland as well as the German settlement areas of Bruenn, Iglau and Olmuetz." Besides the republic reserved itself jurisdiction over other German language islands: For the Industrial area Ostmaehrens and Ostschlesiens a Austrian-Czechoslovakian-Polish Kondominium was suggested. For the closed German settlement areas of the Hungarian Komitate Pressburg, Wiesenburg, Oedenburg and Eisenburg(therefore it the name "Burgenland" was required the right of self-determination; the German language islands in Hungary should belong to "strength of their past more-hundred-year realm community to national spheres of interest of the State of Deutsch-Oesterreich". So far the Austrian Scheuch. Thus it is clearly clear, how unreasonably and politically motivates your delete request is; however your formulation is clear!

  •  Keep The header might not be ideal, but Deutsch-Österreich did exist 1918-19, although never controlling all the territories it claimed. This map doen't look revisionistic to me.

Not a work of the U.S. federal government, and therefore, the PD rationale given is not valid. The image is tagged as PD because it came from state.gov, but I find it hard to believe that a U.S. State Department employee was assigned to paint a positive-looking portrait of the enemy. --Jiang 02:02, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In Japan, the copyright is 50 years iirc. It could be PD if the author died before 1956. I agree with you about the positive-looking aspect of this picture. I found a version where one can see a japanese signature (?) : [28].. if someone is able to tell what's written. Note that the NationalGeographic tagged the picture as Photograph courtesy U.S. Naval Historical Center. Dake 21:58, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep This is PD. The USN's National Historical Center states that this is an official portrait of Yamamoto painted by Shugaku Homma, on 1943. http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/images/h79000/h79462kc.

Article 6 of the old copyright law states:

Article 6. Copyright in a work published or publicly performed under the name of a governmental or public agency, school, shrine or temple, association, company or any other organization as its author shall endure for thirty years from the time of such publication or public performance. [29]

As an official portrait commissioned by the Imperial government of Japan, this portrait became public domain on 1973. -Mak 00:50, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The image was uploaded for the purpose of vandalizing a userbox that has now been deleted by the group of individuals who vandalized it.

    Was created to specifically to annoy Wikipedians,
    did annoy Wikipedians and
    will continue to be used to annoy Wikipedians unless deleted.
    On the English Wikipedia, at least one vandalism-only account has been used solely to harass people using this animation. Whether the image appals or amuses any particular person is irrelevant, because lots of people do find it objectionable. (I myself am greatly offended by the crudity of the animation.) And because of that fact, retaining it means that it will continue to be used to annoy Wikipedians. CWC(talk) 16:36, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: I refer to the Clause 2.3 of the Commons:Deletion guidelines: The file/page is not potentially usable by any current or future Wikimedia project (e.g. art by unknown artist). From what I know, the creator of this image is indeed an unknown artist, not notable for having previously created artistic masterpieces of animation. As such, this is animated art that really serves no purpose to inform others, which is what Wikimedia's projects are all about. Brisvegas 11:25, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We can allow exceptions for material which is only used "internally" (on non-article pages), but this definitely goes too far as it limits the freedom of the image for third parties.

television screenshot --84.133.107.20 20:23, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Various Star Wars pictures

[edit]

Note: Unless we get some really strong expert opinion here, I propose to move this discussion, and related ones, to a separate page, Commons:Derivative works, before making a final decision on these matters.--Eloquence 23:03, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Star Wars is a copyrighted work. All reproductions of Star Wars characters, including derivative works, are therefore infringements of copyright. They may be fair use, but they are not and cannot be free content until Star Wars copyrighs expire. Trying to circumvent copyright by photographing models or masks or creating your own drawings does not work.--Eloquence 22:41, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't care, but we decided in the "pringles case" to keep the pictures (sorry, can't find the discussion at the moment). Where is the difference to Image:Darth Vader and storm Truper 2.jpg? --Avatar 23:00, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I would argue that the Pringles box photo is also non-free to an extent which we cannot accept here on Commons (highly visible logo and package design are at the center of the image), but the subject of the illustration is not a copyrighted work per se, which is the case in the Darth Vader photo. Still, I'm not comfortable about hosting the Pringles photo on Commons. I have sent an inquiry regarding the Pringles case to two members of Wikimedia's legal team.--Eloquence 02:17, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think drawings are perfectly acceptable, since it is a subjective impression. Zanaq 09:30, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding drawings (sketches), some comment above at #Image:Midori_fanart.jpg would be welcome please! pfctdayelise (translate?) 09:42, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I think we need the legal team to weight in on this, if it was down to personal preference I'd be inclined to allow such images, but this is not something a vote (or consensus) can solve, either it's ok to to photo action figures, figurines, spaceship models and toys and "cosplaying" people and relese it as free licensed or it is an unacceptable use of a copyrighted characters/content. An interesting question is where to draw the line for how much copyrighted content to allow in an image, for example Image:Timessquareapril2005.jpg contains numerous copyrighted logos and stuff, or how about Image:RallyOnLeveeYellowSubShirt.jpg that t-shirt design is copyrighted no doubht. Basicaly we need to get someone who know theyr stuff (preferably the foundation legal team) to lay down at least a guideline for this kind of thing: Models/faction figures/costumes of copyrighted characters, ok or not? Drawings of copyrighted characters, ok or not? Pictures containing copyrighted logos or advertising banners and such, ok or not? Pictures of product packages (pringles, coke cans et all) with the conpany logo and stuff clearly visible, ok or not? --Sherool 10:22, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think an obvious line to draw is to always ask: "What is being illustrated?" In the Times Square photo, it is clear that the subject of the photo is Times Square, and any copyrighted imagery appearing there is incidental. Unless we receive input to the contrary from the legal team, I think we can keep images where the copyrighted element is not the central part of the picture, the subject of the photo. To me, those cases parallel the use of a quotation from a copyrighted work in a Wikipedia article which is labeled GFDL. I should point out that people have been extremely anal about copyrighted elements in screenshots, which is probably a good analogy to the Times Square case.
But when a clearly copyrighted character from a movie or cartoon is the subject of the image, and is recognizable as such, it does not matter what the specific expression is: it is a derivative work. All, please read the Wikipedia article derivative work which discusses this concept and also cites Star Wars as an example. Also take a look at http://illegal-art.org/ for some examples of art which has been subject of lawsuits for being derivative. Note that we are going further because a) we claim that our works are free content, rather than fair use, b) we do not try to parody, but to accurately represent.
So I think there's a fairly strong case for deleting these pictures now. The one remaining question is where to draw the line of copyrightability. Is Han Solo copyrightable, given that it's just a young Harrison Ford in a particular set of clothes, maybe with a laser gun? My intution would be no. But for Chewbacca, R2D2 or Darth Vader with their unique looks, the answer is clearly yes.--Eloquence 13:15, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should close down wikimedia commons, because there are hundreds of pictures that show copyrighed stuff Image:Torino Comics 2006 C1P8 with a Jawa.jpg ....
We should close down Commons, just because you can't upload pictures of R2D2? Come on, there's plenty of other photographs that don't violate third party copyrights. One of our most central guidelines is that you can use every picture commercially.

This image is being replaced by a vector version, Image:Flag of Hong Kong.svg, and the image is not currently used in any wiki projects. --Hunter 09:56, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Obvious discrepancies between this image and image:flag of Hong Kong.svg have been discovered [46] [47]. — Instantnood 20:39, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment on Instantnood's argument. Instantnood is currently being blocked in the English Wiki [48], and also being banned on various articles (e.g. Hong Kong as shown in Talk:Hong Kong). He has raised some doubts in the English wiki about the flag before, though failed to tell what's wrong in the vector version.The differences between the two flags, if any, is minor, and the community consensus across wiki projects is to use the svg version, only Instantnood has the opposite opinion. Hunter 03:40, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Communities can use any version they like. It's not our position to limit their choices or enforce a preference. Is there any pressing reason to delete the PNG? Is any harm done by keeping it? From the side-by-side comparison, the red in the PNG does seem slightly darker and detail (stars) seem slightly "fuzzier" around the edges. pfctdayelise (translate?) 08:08, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • Of course, but it appears the community already made a choice. You can that from both images' usage across wiki projects: PNG, SVG. Surely there are no pressing reasons to delete the png, no harm to keep it, as in the case of all other redundant images. As I have said earlier, there may be differences between the two images, but are the differences significant? Does the differences stop one from identifying either one as the Flag of Hong Kong? Also, svg version is easily modifyable, if it is discovered to be in error later, one can easily modify it, much more easier than in the case of png. Hunter 17:13, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • Comment: I'm afraid I've to say it's quite dishonest to say " the community has already made a choice ". It was user:Winhunter herself/himself who orphaned it, including replacing it on other users' personal pages. The .png and the .svg images are not identical, and the former should not be replaced by the latter until all inaccuracies are fixed. As an encyclopædia even most minor inaccuracy, no matter generally noticeable or not, is not acceptable. There are detailed laws regulating the specifications of the flag. — Instantnood 06:00, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I did part of the work on the English wiki by community consensus, which is show in, for example w:Image_talk:Flag of Hong Kong SAR.png. Please remember how others reverted your desperate attempts to reinstate the png version (e.g. in [49]) and how your actions has got you banned in various articles [50] and the English wiki. And please take note that English wiki is not the only wiki project, other wiki projects' users also decides to use the svg version. And do you think I (or any user) can actually make others choose? I can only enact the community consensus (i.e. Retiring the image.) There exist ONLY one user having the opposite opinion, you. -Hunter 07:47, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment: I am afraid that's not what "consensus" meant to be. Actual facts cannot be overturned by so called consensus. Further, something agreed upon by two persons is hardly a consensus in the true sense. As long as obvious discrepancies between the two images are discovered, and neither is confirmed to be accurate, the conversion should be temporarily suspended. — Instantnood 19:51, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sigh, you still don't get it, people "vote" for the svg version when they do their edits. I know you'll accuse me of making this up, or replacing all of them myself, so feel free to check for all the pages that uses svg version, check their histories and see who put the svg version of the flag in there and make up a statistics. I only did the finishing touches when I did the retiring of the png version, vast majority of pages already uses the svg version at tat time. And what's wrong with the svg version? You don't know and you can't tell. Unless you can point out what exactly is wrong about the svg version, I don't see a reason why not use the svg version and retiring, and as I mentioned AGAIN AND AGAIN, svg version is easily modifiable should it is found out to be wrong, while modifying the png version is a nightmare.Hunter 14:22, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: If the two images are not identical, its accuracy is still in question, no matter how people vote or act. You are not justifying yourself if you cannot justify its accuracy. Bear in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopædia. — Instantnood 17:30, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Wikipedia runs on a consensus system, and obviously the consensus is towards the svg version (from various talk pages and their usages). There are no absolute truths in this world (e.g. on the Taiwan issue), just a more correct one as perceived by the Wikipedians. In this case, Wikipedians decides that the svg version should be the one which is more correct. Hunter 09:13, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The image has been copied from the French Wikipedia, where the claimed CC-BY-SA was questioned and the image then speedydeleted, as it was the only contribution of the uploader. The image was called Audrey20Tautou2017.jpg, and coincidentally a photo site on the net has an image called Audrey Tautou 17.jpg (picture 17 out of 24).

The image was originally tagged with {{self2|GFDL|cc-by-sa-2.5,2.0,1.0}}. When I asked the uploader to identify the building. He said, that he does not know what building it is. I wrote to him, that he should know it, as he has presumingly taken the image himself. The uploader now changed the license to {{PD-old}} which is not credible for me. Therefore I put the deletion request tag. User:Barcex has similar problems with that user concerning other images.

Bilder von Adolf Hitler

[edit]

Fast alle dortigen Bilder unterliegen dem Urheberrecht 70 Jahre pma und sind weder PD-old noch aus irgendeinem anderen Grund PD. 217.88.159.32 19:57, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The IP tagged many of the Adolf Hitler pictures with Template:deletionrequest. I tend to agree to those request, hardly any of those pictures might really be PD. For most of them 70 years pma will not apply, also the US-PDGov will normally not apply because those pictures where taken (and published) by german photographers.--Wiggum 21:23, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There simple isn't a single free picture of adult Hitler yet and for many years. All of the licences are bogus, all of the pictures have to be deleted. --h-stt !? 07:39, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Definitive statement, so please cite your source for this. Two reasons for doubt: It seems to me that Hitler visited other countries like Italy and Austria, so german law is not the only one in play, and not only the nazi government was generating photos. Also there are adult pictures of Hitler from WWI, so those ought to be in range of falling out of copyright. Do you have a source that blows away the WWI pictures? -Mak 09:02, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Nice try. But let's keep that straight: The burden of proof lays with those who want to keep a certain photograph. And have you seen the so called licences of our files? Are you familiar with british Crown Copyright? It is utterly impoosible, that any of those pictures can be free after Crown Copyright has expired. All those claims are bogus, including the ones made by the Imperial War Museum themself on their website. To be free under german Copyright, or austrian or italian (as they are identical in this regard), the photographer must have died before 1936, no exceptions, whatsoever! And this fact has to be proven here on commons. Unless you can show me a single photograph, that meets this requirements, I say delete to all of them. --h-stt !? 11:19, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That still doesn't support the claim that "all" pictures of Hitler are copyrighted. In particular, not all photographs of Hitler were taken by German authors, and therefore German copyright law does not apply to all of them. I agree that the burden of proof lays with people who want to keep a specific photograph, but you should also refrain from making sweeping claims you don't have the evidence to defend. --Delirium 22:39, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest: There are lots of pictures from WWI and WWII with questionable licensing (mostly simple PD-tags). This doesn't apply to pictures showing Hitler himself but also to pictures of other nazi party "celebrities" and pictures of german troops in WWI and WWII. In my mind the commons policies are very strictly, so most of them unfortunately have to be deleted.--Wiggum 12:50, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are you nuts? a) person of notable public interest, b) treshhold of originality? Not likely. Get your ideas about copyright straight people. --139.18.1.5 13:33, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Usually I don't discuss legal matters with persons, who don't identify themselfs, but as this is important, I will answer to this IP: You (and everyone else who wishes to keep these photographs suffer from a misconception over the purpose of the Wikimedia Commons. This is not the database of illustrations for the Wikipedia Projects, but the Commons are a depository for free content - free for every third party to use in their projects inside or outside of the Wikimedia System. Historic value, encyclopedic usefulness and the like are secondary to the single most important point: content free from copyright limitations. Anyone who doesn't accept this primary goal of the commons, must not contribute to this project. --h-stt !? 07:08, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Are we talking of the same thing? I'm talking of those photographs which were made by German state employees for official purposes and where the exclusive usage rights (or indeed the copyright) rests with the German state. The copyright status in these cases should be "published with no restrictions". Your above claim that the copyright rests with the photographer (H. Hoffmann) or his heirs is most certainly false. --139.18.1.5 10:08, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Even if the exclusive usage rights lay with the state of germany, the basic copyright expires only 70 years pma, meaning the individual creator. An image from 1936 can't be free by now, one from WW I probably is not free yet. And we have to be sure before we can accept it on the commons. There is no exeption regarding pictures "for official purposes" in the german law. You obviously have only very limited understanding on german copyright and no idea on the origin of those pictures. --h-stt !? 22:46, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I guess you are aware that Hoffmann forfeited all his property, quite plausibly including all rights to his images, when he was sentenced after the war. That would mean your claim of 70 years pma is bogus. --139.18.1.5 08:39, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Completely irrelevant under german law. The fundamental auctorial rights can't be forfeit, lost, transfered, sold or what ever. They are linked with the creative author of the work. And expire 70 pma. Hoffmann died in 1957, so the copyrights of any of his photos expire on 2028-01-01. And not a single day earlier. --h-stt !? 20:41, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There might be images of Hitler in the public domain (Image:Adolf Hitler in Yugoslavia crop.JPG seems to be an example)) - Image:Hitler in the crowd.jpg tagged by 217.88.159.32 apparently is not: The IWM, which is named as the image's source, clearly states that photographer and copyright are unknown.--Wikipeder 23:44, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • please note (see template:PD-Italy) that pictures of Hitler in the PD exist if they were first published in Italy. Italian law states that non-artistic photographs have a 20 years copyright.

  • Another note: It is quite possible that there are PD-US photos of Hitler taken by U.S. news services. By US law at the time copyrights were for a limited time and would expire if not renewed, and some news services, being mainly concerned with short term use of materials, did not always bother to renew. One would need to check for renewals or lack there of for individual US reporters/photographers' images to determine this. I mention this as another counter to the blanket claim that there are no free images of adult Hitler; I suspect anyone willing to do some serious research in to U.S. news backfiles could find a good number. -- Infrogmation 15:44, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures without or with inappropriate licensing information

[edit]

taken in Munich in 1914, no photographer provided -> no 70 years pma, not exceeding the "older than 100 years" rule of thumb, How should this be Crown copyright? The IWM states "Copyright Status: Copyright unknown". -> delete

The photo was taken before 1923 but noz first published in the US I reckon. It is definitivly no Government work. Howebver, it could be an anonymous work. In that case (1918 + 70 years = 1988) it would be in the public domain or not?

If you were right, than the case would be clear: The image will enter into the public domain between (1914 + 100 =) 2014 and (1918 + 100 = 2018) and the photo should be deleted then. But I think if we get the proof, that it was an anonymous work, then we could keep the image. --ALE! 10:06, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1937 picture, USHMM is the source and says: "Credit: USHMM, courtesy of William Gallagher; Copyright: Public Domain" -> no photographer, no 70 years pma, not older than 100 years -> delete

  • It is definitvly no US Government work. It is probably a photo of Leni Riefenstahl or some other photographer of the time. Anyway. 1937+70 = 2007. The photo is not yet in the public domain and has to be deleted. --ALE! 08:37, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

While I agree that probably none of these pictures is PD in Germany, we should also consider the situation in other countries. All the images coming from the USHMM or the NARA might actually be PD in the U.S. as having been confiscated. If so, they were placed under the authority of the U.S. Alien Property Custodian (see also [67] and [68]), and might fall under the copyright resoration exceptions in 17 USC 104A(a)(2). I do not know whether that's indeed the case, but it is something to ponder. After all, there must be a reason that a number of U.S. agencies consider these photographs to be in the public domain. It's somewhat unlikely that they all make a mistake, isn't it? Lupo 07:11, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe they don't care. I think the risk that an author is still alive and will claim his rights on the pictures is low. Because we're demanding to be a source of free content - where the content is free beyond any reasonable doubt, we cannot rely on such probabilities. Regarding international contracts like berne convention i doubt that US authorities are able to "erase" copyright, but i don't know. The IWM files are subject to another argumentation: they do not claim that the pictures are under a free license (usually they noted "copyright unknown").--Wiggum 09:51, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I seriously doubt, that 17 USC 104A(a)(2) is applicable to some or all of those pictures, because I don't see how we should prove beyond resonable doubt, that any of them were taken by an photographer who acted on behalf of a gouvernment entity, as that is the only way how the usage rights could be held by "the gouvernment or instrumentality thereof". The auctorial rights are always held by an individual under german law. So I repeat my advice to delete them all. --h-stt !? 18:51, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to rain on your parade here, but that the copyright rests always with a real person in Germany is a feature of the modern German UrhG introduced in 1965. Since then, the author is always an individual, and can at most grant some exploitation rights to others, including legal entities, a proces that appears to not include a transfer of the economic rights. However, under the old Kunsturhebergesetz (KUG), which was effective from 1907 until 1965, (a) legal entities could be "authors" (see §5 and also §9(2)) and (b) copyrights could be transferred (see §10(3)). Current German legislation recognizes these cases: §134 explicitly states that legal entities that were considered authors under the old law continued to be considered as such, and §137 acknowledges the continued validity of copyright transfers done under the KUG. §134 is most interesting, because it also stipulates that if a legal entity was considered the author, the old copyright terms had to be applied, not the ones of the new law! Lupo 07:59, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It just occurred to me that this might also be interesting for the "SS uniforms" discussion below. Comments? Am I howling up the wrong tree? Lupo 10:27, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Scrap that whole KUG §134 thing; I forgot about the EU Directive on harmonising the term of copyright protection, implemented in German law by §137f. It retroactively puts works that were already out of copyright in 1995 under copyright again if they were still copyrighted in some other EU country. Thus even if their KUG-copyright might have been expired once, they are today under copyright until 70 years p.m.a. (Because Spain has had 70 years p.m.a. (or even 80) since 1879.) Drats. Lupo 13:35, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, do I understand you correctly that "auctorial rights" = "moral rights", and "usage rights" = "economic rights"?
As to your other point (I don't see how we should prove beyond resonable doubt, that any of them were taken by an photographer who acted on behalf of a gouvernment entity, as that is the only way how the usage rights could be held by "the gouvernment or instrumentality thereof" [which is a necessary condition for 17 USC 104A(a)(2)]): that of course depends on the definition of "reasonable doubt". I guess a lot of people would accept "the NARA or the USHMM say so" as evidence enough to consider such images PD-US. (Kinda playing devil's advocate here.) Lupo 07:59, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Does your trust in US-gouvernmental agencies include the IRS and the DHS? Here in Germany offical archives are well known for their copyfraudulent claims and/or ignorance for third-party-rights. --h-stt !? 10:30, 4 July 2006 (UTC) PS: Thanks for correcting my terminology[reply]
Difficult. I do trust the NARA; I should think images taken e.g. from the SS service records (which they have in their holdings, though not online) might indeed fall under that very exceptional provision of 17 USC 104A(a)(2) and thus be PD-US. I don't generally trust the USHMM, though; they too often label images as "© USHMM" when it is entirely unclear on what grounds they do so. If the USHMM says something was PD and came from the National Archives, I tend to believe them and consider the works PD-US. What are IRS and DHS? Taxes and "homeland safety"? I don't think I've ever come across any image from there, so I'll have to pass on those lacking experience with their practice of labelling images. Lupo 10:43, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The "trustablity" might just be a question of policy. Can you agree, that the IWM-pictures with "Copyright unknown" and the NARA/USHMM pictures without any copyright notice cannot be kept? Besides, i don't think that the old KUG law could be useful, a legal entity could have hold the copyrights only if no author was known. This special case is difficult to prove. Concerning the SS-Uniforms: how can we know if this nazi party manual was published without notice about the authors or the artist(s) who draw the pictures?--Wiggum 20:55, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, agree. If these institutions give no indication or say "copyright unknown", we should not consider the works PD unless we can ascertain (to a reasonable level of confidence) the PD status of a particular image in other ways. Note that I even extend this to the Library of Congress: if the library of congress says "status not evaluated", I do not consider an image PD, even if it is available at the LoC and despite the wording of {{PD-LOC}}. And yes, the special case on 17 USC 104A(a)(2) is very hard to prove. I would only apply it to images coming from the U.S. National Archives, where we can reasonably believe that the image came from a document in their holding that might have belonged to the government (such as the SS service records I mentioned). "Reasonably believe" of course again involves some level of trust, since many such documents are not available online and we'd have to believe the uploader's say-so. We had a case on the English Wikipedia recently, where en:User:Husnock (a trusted user and U.S. Army officer working for the NARA!) had uploaded such an image. It was kept (see en:Image:HLHimmler.jpg and en:Image_talk:HLHimmler.jpg). I don't think that's bad; whenever we post some external confirmation for some fact, we essentially extend our trust to people we know even less... On the SS-Uniforms: well, we could find out easily by having someone look at the physical manual and tell us. Lupo 07:04, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(back to the left) I resorted the pictures. There are only three of the images in question which are claimed to be PD by NARA or USHMM. I'm pretty sure the Himmler picture will have not a chance at commons, but you're right - in cases of third party pictures which are not older than 100 years and where the photographer is actually or presumably not known the acceptance of an upload is a matter of trust. There should be a community consensus about what is trustworthy, otherwise we will conduct such a discussion regularly. The question of trust applies to the SS-Uniforms as well: I don't have the manual at my disposal. The Uploader of the pictures has been blocked in de-Wiki for POV-proliferation in articles about turkic peoples and for referring his information to books of former SS-Obergruppenführer like Felix Steiner. Trustworthy? I don't think so.--Wiggum 13:11, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe not trustworthy :-) But anyway, see my comment above on the KUG §134 reasoning: let's just forget it; it's probably a red herring. The EU Directive on harmonising the term of copyright protection, implemented in German law by §137f makes such works copyrighted until 70 years p.m.a. anyway. Would've been too good. Lupo 13:35, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
So you give up resistance? ;-) What about the thre pictures with PD claim? I think the 1914 picture is bogus, this was most likely not made by an US authority. While the two others were taken in 1937 there is at least the possibility that this Mr. Gallagher was the author. On the other hand, he or a family member could have fought in Germany during WW II and brought the pictures as spoils of war. With a very strict interpretation we cannot keep the pictures while there is no author provided. I don't know.--Wiggum 12:28, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One of my uploads -- Image:Hitler with children and Baldur von Schirach.jpg needs to be added to this deletion request. I was under the mistaken impression that material from the Borden-Clarke collection was governed by Canadian copyright, but this image is one of Hoffman's (PD in Canada, but that doesn't help us).

  • Delete Argh ! Well, I'm confuse.

So please delete all these images (but not the category), and I will make new ones only of the main picture showing the steps of the enhancement. Sorry. Sting 12:09, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I haven't looked at your tutorial, so I don't know wether photoshop is mandatory for it or not, but maybe you could use the gimp instead, which is free software. When high productivity is not required, switching from one to another is quite straightforward, and could allows you to show important parts of the software (levels window for example...). But once again, I don't know if this can apply to you. - CyrilB 21:32, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, I was thinking about do that. I didn't use The Gimp for years but there must be quiet the same tools that in Photoshop and it will be clearer to show the whole screen that the picture alone. I will wait the deletion before making a new upload to avoid the access to these ones through the file history. Sting 14:35, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The note on the licensing page says that photos of works of art exhibited in public spaces can only be used for non-commercial purposes, unless it is clear that the work is not the main subject in the photo. As Commons images are supposed to be used for commercial purposes too, pictures like this should either be banned or clearly marked. In any case, the issue has to be discussed.

Official paintings held by the U.S. Government

[edit]

I am nominating the following images for deletion because I believe they are copyrighted:

All of these images are official paintings of presidents and first ladies produced under commission for the White House. They are not "works of the United States government" as claimed because they were not "prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person’s official duties" (17 U.S.C. § 101). The painters of official portraits received individual commissions for these specific works, and were not employees of the Executive Office. As such, copyright of these paintings are held either by the original painter or if the painter explicitly transferred the copyright, the U.S. government. Specifically, 17 U.S.C. § 105 states "Copyright protection under this title is not available for any work of the United States Government, but the United States Government is not precluded from receiving and holding copyrights transferred to it by assignment, bequest, or otherwise." A lengthy discussion on Wikipedia-en has persisted on this issue, but while claims of fair use for these images may be permissible on Wikipedia, copyrighted images not under a free license cannot be permitted to remain on Wikicommons. --Jiang 09:10, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. We have no need for icons. We can get real portraits by clicking on each president. But these little headshots (I only looked at a few; they are all those little headshots, right?) are worthless.--HereToHelp (talk) 11:47, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ugh... I like how en.wp just offloaded the debate onto us. ;P Looks like  Delete to me. Some are quite a shame to lose, like Image:Clinton.jpg. But what can you do... pfctdayelise (translate?) 13:43, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • It wasn't offloaded, as much as it was escaleted. This all started with one image, and each time Jiang seems to be losing the debate, he escaltes it. There has been a dispoute going on over at . It just spilled over onto the commons. These images are all PD, and each Jiang keeps escalating the dispute. Since the images have been incorrectly tagged, and since Jiang is only targeting 14 of the 40 or so images, I am going to revert the tagging.
As far as I can remember, there are no copyright attorneys that have weighed in on the issue. I spoke to Bill Alman, the White House curator, who said the following.

Generally, the portraits are property of the federal government and are in the public domain. In the case of the White House portraits, the photograph of the portrait may have copyright restrictions, but that it should be generally okay to use the images as long as the publisher of the electronic image is credited.

Is there a copyright attorney in the house? --Evrik 18:57, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
For images to be used here, the burden lies on us (i.e. Wikicommons) to prove that the image is freely licensed or in the public domain. First, the White House curator does not have the authority of the law and is also not qualified to interpret the law. The second sentence in his reply completely disregarded Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp.. Even if he were right, his opinion on the matter should not be used to sway us either way. Second, we do not know if he is referring to "public domain" in the legal sense of the term. In any case, the burden of proof is on us: what is the legal justification here? who declared these portraits to be public domain? what law or statute made them non-copyrightable? Please show how 17 U.S.C. § 105 does not apply here. --Jiang 19:08, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ugh, I made a wrongly placed comment below that was in fact intended for this section. So I'm sorry that you have to respond twice (if you want to respond).... --  Keep You who argue about deleting these portraits, can you even find anyone who actually claims copyright of them, or someone who claims they are not public domain? Usually people are happy to claim copyright, but here everyone who's been contacted says we can use them as we wish. / Fred Chess 08:43, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see the validity of your logic. Works are by default copyrighted, not public domain. The burden of proof lies on us to show how these works were declared or released to be in the public domain. The burden of proof is never to show that works are copyrighted. --Jiang 23:44, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Is it okay to close this debate now and  Keep all images?
I'm sorry that I had to break the discussion by moving a part of it to Commons_talk:Licensing, but to have two batches of images where each image should possibly be judged independantly made the whole thing confusing.
Anyways, there is still no claim of anyone claiming copyright of the works, and I won't delete lots of images based on someone's assumption of them being copyrighted.
Fred Chess 17:15, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see why these images should be "kept". In the very least, the issue is not resolved. I have notified Wikimedia General Counsel Brad Patrick on this issue. He responded on en:, but we still haven't heard back from Evrik.
No one needs to claim copyright. By default, copyright belongs to the artists who painted the portraits, unless they or their contracts designated otherwise. The burden of proof is on us to show that these images are PD: can you prove that these images are PD? Under what terms are these images PD? --Jiang 16:34, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anything by the Kodak 6330 seems to be actually taken by Twanger (based on http://www.tolaris.com/album/kurdistan/100_2314, why would someone steal that image?), so I would fix the source on those and keep them. Of the images that are by different cameras, but are still from http://www.tolaris.com/gallery/kurdistan/, we should just e-mail Twanger. It isn't that odd to have multiple cameras or swap pictures with others on a trip. The rest should probably be deleted. Kotepho 21:11, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You can certainly "swap pictures with others on a trip", but that wouldn't make it right to upload them to the commons as selfmade. William Avery 13:18, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Of course it doesn't, but we don't know for sure that a) he didn't take them and b) that he would not ask and get permision from the photographers. Kotepho 20:24, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To finish with this deletion request I propose the following: As the uploader does not help to clarify the issue, any image that still shows any slightest doubt about its license will be deleted. This goes for all images still listed above. (Some where already resolved.) If nobody opposes, I will delete all images in three days from now. I hope this is ok. --ALE! 15:44, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Wow, I can't believe this image got deleted despite the fact that the author just said it wasn't based on any source, and that the "character" didn't hold any real distinguishing features, and was rather generic. THANKS LERK for jumping to conclusions and waiting for some kind of consensus or conclusion on the identity of the character. It's anime, people, after a while one character is bound to look a little bit like another one (which isn't always agreed upon by different people). There's thousands of characters, and an image at that size, it's easy to see how it could be mistaken for something that it isn't. What the hell is the point of having these discussions if someone's just going to jump in and delete it without even saying anything about it here.

Images uploaded by User:Federal Corps

[edit]

After User:Barcex has contacted User:Federal Corps asking him to proof that the images uploaded by him are really GNU FDL he has answered:

Mirá flaco, todas las images las saqué de http://www.mindef.gov.ar/ o http://www.ejercito.mil.ar/, si te interesa el copyright date una vuelta por ahí que de seguro vas a encontrarlas. Por lo demás te agredecería que tuvieras un poco más de respeto y dejaras de acusarme de violaciones, parece que el que tiene que informarse acerca de licencia sos vos. Actitudes como el de ALE! son sinceramente patéticas, quién se va a pensar que "lo hago de mala fe"??? Por mí borrá las imágenes, de última el que pierde sos vos.

Which could be translated in short as:

Look dude, I have taken all these images from http://www.mindef.gov.ar/ or http://www.ejercito.mil.ar/, if you are interested in the copyright, have a look at these sites and you will surely find it. Apart from that I would appreciate if you could show a little more respect and would refrain from accousing me of violations, it seems that the persons who should inform himself about the license is you. Attitudes like the one of ALE! are sincerely pathetic, who is think that I did it in "bad faith". If you want delete the images, in the end it is you that is loosing.

Well, I do not know whether he uploaded the copyrighted images in good or bad faith but still I will propose them here for deletion. Maybe the cases more than obvious and can be delete fast:

Images of copyrighted material does not create new copyright for photographer --Denniss

  • comment--my understanding of US copyright law is that photographs of three-dimensional objects might be considered to satisfy a a minimal level of originality, and so could be copyright to the photographer. See the 'Aftermath' section of the wikipedia article on w:Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp. JeremyA 15:32, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • reaction - You are right in that this establishes copyright for the photographer; however, that does not change the possibility that publishing the photograph violates the copyright of the copyright owner of the object as well.

The official flag of Bouvet Island is the Norwegian flag. This flag is just a fantasy flag. mali 10:33, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As far as described as fantasy flag and use for anything there should be no problem with it. Shaqspeare 22:23, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just because it is a flag doesn't make it pd. Since it isn't official/internationaly recognised (according to nom), the flag might be copyrighted. --Cool CatTalk|@ 01:24, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. For one thing, it is clearly not a work of art. Substituting one colour for another on a flag in use for more than 100 years with a (forgive the expression, dear Norwegians) trivial design, is not art. Furthermore, it is extremely unlikely that anyone has filed an patent application for a flag, and I strongly doubt such material can be protected under Norwegian copyright laws. The info page states that it is inspired by a flag on a webpage, meaning that somebody must have taken a PD Norwegian flag and replaced its colours to get the same result as on the website. Scandinavian laws protect official flags and flags of private companies but they'd either have to be registred as trademarks or as officials symbols. Neither seems the case here. Valentinian (talk) 22:02, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm adding this comment because the flag may indeed have enough creativity/artistic value to be protected by copyright. I say this because the laws of the Nordic countries are very similar and that flag might be protected in Finland, so maybe also in Norway. Or not. -Samulili 17:20, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, Norwegian and Danish copyright laws are pretty close, and I doubt the image would be protected in Denmark. Anyway, I guess we need a Norwegian expert. Valentinian (talk) 23:56, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Found this in speedy deletion category. But it is clearly no obvious speedy. The author is unknown (and very likely dead for more than 70 years) and the image is almost 100 years old. Does anybody know more about that image? Arnomane 19:32, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delete In the case that the author is unknown it is usually consensus to use PD-old only for images older than 100 years.

--ALE! 19:30, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Keep Assume author is dead. -- AM 21:31, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Why should we assume that? Assume that the author was 20 years old a the time the photo was taken. And assume that he was not shot dead in WW I and lived until he was 80 years old. That would mean, that he died in 1976. Adding 70 years equals the year 2046, which would be the year, when the copyright expires. --ALE! 12:51, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • We have done as much as we can reasonably be assumed to: the image has a source, but the photographer is unknown. It would then, IMO, be reasonable to use the photo. After all, Fritz Walter, the author of "Im Kino erlebe ich die Welt - 100 Jahre Kino und Film in Österreich", Wien 1996 from where the image was scanned, used it. What does the German law actually say in such cases? The "assume public domain for photos 100 years old" was, if I understand it correctly, devised by Historiograf as a practical solution, but is there something preventing us from assuming public domain for photos 80 years old, if we have no reasons to think that anyone can claim copyright? / Fred Chess 13:49, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Somebody else using it is no reason to keep it. Why not assume that that that the author of a 1930 photo is dead? As ALE! points out, it is possible this photo has many, many years of copyright still to run. TheGrappler 11:38, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also Image:Tale of 10 pounds bill.JPG

Bank of England banknotes are copyright the Bank of England. The photographer states the work is in the public domain, which I guess must be inaccurate as it's a direct reproduction of another work. Also I quote from the Bank of England web site:

Under section 18(1) of the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981 it is a criminal offence for any person, without the prior consent in writing of the Bank of England, to reproduce on any substance whatsoever, and whether or not on the correct scale, any Bank of England banknote or any part of a Bank of England banknote.

Which I guess fairly clearly makes these images illegal to show in the UK. Both images show notes in current circulation.

The Bank of England web site says it's possible to apply for a waiver to reproduce notes provided that the images meet certain conditions.

see here: Oppose

I suggest this template to be deleted. There are several templates to mark your vote at COM:FPC for example (like {{support}}, {{oppose}}, etc.), but this one is aggressive. It violates the community agreement no personal attacks and annoys the uploader, photographer or nominator. There is no reason to do this instead of just opposing due to factual reasons. norro 22:15, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Positive emotion is acceptable if it's backed up by facts, but negative emotions should be kept off of Commons, or any community project for that matter. I oppose the renaming to "stongly oppose", if it's really needed, strong opposition can be expressed with "Strongly {{Oppose}}", but in the vast majority of cases (ie. our votes), it is irrelevant how much one opposes (or likes, for that matter) something. —UED77 23:40, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep Unbedingt behalten, da 100% authentisch. Auch sind die verbotenen Kennzeichen kaum zu sehen. Es besteht ein wesentlicher Unterschied zwischen den Uniformen der Allgemeinen SS und der Waffen-SS, die auf diesen Bildern gut zu erkennen sind. Die Bilder wurden bereits schon in den "Reichsorganisationshandbüchern der NSDAP" der Jahre 1934-38 verwendet. Sie sind damit wesentlich älter als das oben genannte von 1939! Ferner sind auch alle Hinweise angebracht, die verdeutlichen, daß diese Bilder eventuell in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz verbotende Symbole beinhalten können. Ich finde, daß die Bilder für militär- bzw. NS-historisch interessierte Menschen eine gute und vor allem authentische Quelle darstellen...Neonazi brauchen die Wiki in der Regel nicht als "Quelle" für solche Sachen, da sie meistens über die Originale verfügen!

Absolutely keep, there 100% authentically. Also the forbidden characteristics are hardly to be seen. There is a substantial difference between the uniforms of the general SS and the Waffen-SS, which are to be recognized in these pictures well. The pictures were already already used in the "realm organization manuals of the NSDAP" of the years 1934-38. They are substantially older thereby than specified the above from 1939! Furthermore also all references are appropriate, which clarify that these pictures possibly in Germany, Austria and Switzerland forbid-end symbols contain can. I find that the pictures for military and/or ns-HISTORICALLY do not represent interested humans a good and above all authentic source... to neo-Nazi need the Wiki usually as "source" for such things, since they mostly have the originals!

The licence tag alleges that the pictures are PD. As i have shown, they cannot be PD by age. As there is no author provided, there is no reasonable proof that the author is dead for more then 70 years. Assuming the oldest version is from 1934 there's a very low probability that the author died about one year later.--Wiggum 12:36, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Most likely" is a very keen assumption. As of the "Prinzip des unzureichenden Grundes" (don't know what it is in english, but i guess the university of leipzig ip will understand german) the probability of "anonymous artist" ist 0,5.

  •  Keep The image is most probably not copyrighted. The investigation is under way, but clearly this very relevant picture should not be removed based on assumptions, rather information about source should be added.

just discovered that in Croatia, this is not eligible for copyright as a trivial work which contains no original autorship. Note the famous case of Severina's amateur porn tape which was released in Croatia with no consent of Severina. Severina sued, but the case was rejected as the tape (which would be copyright protected in countries like US) is not eligible for copyright as a trivial work. The standards of eligibility for copyright in Croatia is therefore higher than in US. A low-resolution amateurish photo from public gathering is trivial work even by US standards, much more so in Croatia where copyrights are reserved only for cases where original autorship is substantial. I have changed the notice accordingly. Maayaa 01:29, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
furthermore, I have discovered that according to Croatian law, images that appear in news and other media to illustrate events are EXPLICITLY allowed to be used and reproduced freely, without consent of the author, i.e. they are PD (Copyright law, section 47, paragraph 3). Maayaa 13:51, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That is not true, source (index page) is provided. Moreover, all copyrights for anonimous art work is, according to Croatian copyright law, owned by the publisher (both "moral" and "comercial" rights). Of course, in this case the image is not art work and hence the comercial copyright does not apply (and also, there is another provision in Croatian law, for news images), but for the purpose of wikipedia, index is the source. Wiki does not require to have full name and address of the author when the author is anonimous, but a source that is responsible for the content (and index has claimed responsibility on its page). This is called "moral copyright" and wikipedia respects it strictly. This right has been respected here, while image is ineligible for copyright (i.e. commercial copyright). Had it been copyrighted, it would still be usable on wikipedia though not necessarily on commons, according to fair use provision. In any case, the real reason this image is considered for deletion has to do with attempt to hide this picture - it is a POV issue, not a copyright issue, and that is the truth behind all this.

 Delete Caption of this picture [81] says that it was taken in Austria. Why do you think that the author was a Croat? Maybe he was an Austrian reporter... We don't know who the author was and whose laws apply to this picture. 213.202.97.76 20:40, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep The image is taken in Austria by Croatians, who published it on index portal. The event in question was a high profile celebration attended mostly by Croats, who have created a myth out of Bleiburg, to whitewash their horrible WWII crimes. 213.198.225.18 18:34, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Image was apparently taken in 2004 [82]. Copyrighted even in Croatia. On Maayaa's "legalistic" points: first, he is working from an outdated version of the Croat copyright law; there is a new law in effect since 2003. Secondly, §47(3) of the old law is more like a fair use provision and applies only to newspapers and other periodicals who are granted the right to re-publish single images published previously in another newspaper or periodical. It was a kind of image citation right, but it didn't make the image PD, and in any case, it didn't apply to that 2004 image because that law was effective only until 2003. It also is not applicable to Wikipedia, because WP is not a newspaper. The corresponding provision in the new law is §89(1)(2) and makes it quite clear that it is a "fair use" provision. Finally, I don't see anything about "trivial works" in the Croat copyright law, and I don't know whether the Severina case was a copyright case (en:Severina Vučković just says that she sued for damages and that the case was dismissed). Even if it might be a "trivial work" in Croatia, it would still be copyrighted just about anywhere else. (See en:Image:Christoph Meili 1997.jpg, a Swiss image first published in Switzerland, where it is PD. Unfortunately, it's very probably copyrighted elsewhere. That image was deleted here on the commons recently for precisely this reason.) Lupo 08:23, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
