The map is based on the Antarctic Digital Database (www.add.scar.org), and carries an acknowledgment on the NOAA page from which it is taken. Use of the ADD requires acknowledgment of the source, and this should be re-instated on the map. Note also that the map cannot be subject to Creative Commons licensing for the same reason; the ADD is copyright data. There is no problem with putting a map based on the ADD in non-commercial sites like Wikipedia, but acknowledgment of the source is a condition of free use.

Please do not assume that a map on a US web-site is necessarily free of usage restrictions.

Sorry to be difficult, but no, there is no equivalent "free" data for Antarctica. And I have no problem with the ADD being used, as long as it is properly acknowledged. I'd be quite happy if there was a note stating the ADD was the source of the topographic data, and stating that it is used by permission of the copyright holder (on whose behalf I manage the resource). If I knew how to do it, I'd vote against deletion; it's a nice map that tells the story well. Incidentally, the ADD web-site will provide a download in SVG format.--APRCooper 20:28, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not certain the topographic data is necessary for the image, just the coastlines, which can be acquired for free. Bastique demandez 22:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If you are thinking of VMAP0, the quality of data for Antarctica is dire and highly inaccurate. I am afraid that the only good quality source is the ADD - and I don't make anything from saying that!--APRCooper 09:38, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

pornographic with no use 70.178.187.98 20:30, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's a modern photo of explicit actual sexual activity. I think it might be seen as porn under US law. If that's the case, then we need legal documentation to show that the participants are not under age. That doesn't mean that such pictures wouldn't be useful if we could get the documents. --Simonxag 13:36, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that this photo is not a work of the US federal government, but is a photo by Associated Press photographer w:Ike Algens. This image is under fair use on en.wiki (w:Image:Altgens mary ferrell.jpg) Trixt 01:14, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Altgens' image is indeed under fair use (see full version at w:Image:Altgens1.jpg), but please note what is written under the copy I uploaded (Image:CE369.jpg): "Commission Exhibit 369". This is a copy of the picture as cropped, reworked (see the arrow pointing at the supposed Oswald in the entrance of the TSBD) and published in the Warren Commission report (see here. This is thus a free picture. Bradipus 11:03, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
IMVHO I think that this image is only an evidence, not an original work by an officer or employee of the U.S. government (I don't think that put a simple arrow on a photo or make a simple cropping set it as new creative content). I believe that this is not a derivative work, so this image is copyrighted.--Trixt 01:14, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Whether or not it is a derivative work is not important, I mentionned the fact that it had been reworked only as an additionnal argument, but the fact is that once it has been published in a US Government public report, it is in public domain. See this discussion for instance. Bradipus 11:14, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think that this statement is wrong (but this is only my idea, of course :). A "work of the United States Government" is a work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person's official duties. So, work must be prepared (it must be an original work or a derivative work), not only (re)published.--Trixt 20:02, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, think about it for a minute: what does mean "prepare"? If we were to follow your idea, nothing would be free in, for instance, a governmental report: each person's testimony for instance would be copyrighted by the person who testified. Look, all what is in that report is free, in public domain, period, nothing can be more free than that. Any further discussion beyond this would require the opinion of US copyright lawyers, but me think they would settle the issue in a second: public domain. Bradipus 22:40, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please see en:WP:PD#Public records. Just because something is in the "public records" doesn't mean it couldn't be copyrighted. Lupo 23:05, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The Warren Commission Report is not a public record, it is a government report. Please consider en:WP:PD#U.S. government works instead, where the sole exception to the PD rule for governement reports is as follows: "Works produced under a commission from the U.S. government by a contractor are most likely copyrighted". Altgens was not a contractor of the Warren Commission, but a witness. On government reports in general: High-profile government reports can be uniquely lucrative for publishers because they are relatively cheap to produce. There are no acquisition costs, since the documents are in the public domain.
You know, this discussion is exactly why I virtually stopped contributing to Commons: people trying to have the works of others deleted based on vague legal notions. Even if it is done in good faith (do not take this personnally), it is extremely tiresome. Bradipus 23:35, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is a government report, which is a government record. Non-free photographs may appear in a report, the content of which may otherwise be ineligible for copyright protection, under fair use provisions. Republishing such a report would then constitute another instance of fair use. As far as I know, there's no principle whereby the government can expropriate the copyright of others simply by republishing their works. LX (talk, contribs) 10:59, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete It's clearly not in the public domain, Commons_talk:Licensing#Warren_Commission_Report. Samulili 15:18, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I do not think it is that clear. The discussion is indeed there, as I thought appropriate to bring it in a broader forum although the discussion has apparently stopped there. Anyway, I finally found the credit page of the WC Report, which contains copyright notices for some reproduced stuff (such as this one), but no copyright notice (just "credit") for the full version of the Altgens picture for instance. What the impact is of "credit" vs "copyright notice", I am not sure, but in any case there is no notice at all for the reworked version of the Altgens pic I have uploaded. Other possible aspects of the issue are the absence of copyright notice in relation with this or with the exception applicable to stuff published "pre-1964". Some arguments in favour of the free status of the document, but to what extent they are convincing I do not know. I am a pre-90's european lawyer, these US technicalities are a bit unclear ;-) Bradipus 20:35, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I believe if it was first published in the USA before 1978 without notice of copyright it is public domain per US law anyway. Any info on first publication and if there was a copyright notice? -- Infrogmation 15:23, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    It was for sure published on November 22 or 23, 1963, but was it with or without copyright notice...But we can control that it was published in September 1964 in the WC report (full version, with a credit but no copyright notice) and in November 1964 (the reworked version, published in volume 16 of the exhibits, without credit or notice). Bradipus 20:40, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    It was published in the Warren Commission report without a copyright notice. But that was probably not when it was first published. Even if it was, that still doesn't make it a work of the US federal government. I'm thinking they could use an unpublished work under fair use just as they could a published one. I don't think this would count as the "first publication", even if it was never published before or since, and doing so would not make it a government work any more than me publishing your unpublished photos gives me the copyright to them. Or something. This is a headache. ;\ Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 00:34, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I have sources who say clearly it was published either on the day or the day after the assassination. Remember Altgens was working for United Press. As hinted hereabove, I think the solution may be the same as the one for Image:Moorman.jpg. Bradipus 12:51, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please consider en:WP:PD#U.S. government works instead, where the sole exception to the PD rule for governement reports is as follows: "Works produced under a commission from the U.S. government by a contractor are most likely copyrighted". Altgens was not a contractor of the Warren Commission, but a witness. On government reports in general: High-profile government reports can be uniquely lucrative for publishers because they are relatively cheap to produce. There are no acquisition costs, since the documents are in the public domain.
You know, this discussion is exactly why I virtually stopped contributing to Commons: people trying to have the works of others deleted based on vague legal notions. Even if it is done in good faith (do not take this personnally), it is extremely tiresome. Bradipus 23:35, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is a government report, which is a government record. Non-free photographs may appear in a report, the content of which may otherwise be ineligible for copyright protection, under fair use provisions. Republishing such a report would then constitute another instance of fair use. As far as I know, there's no principle whereby the government can expropriate the copyright of others simply by republishing their works. LX (talk, contribs) 10:59, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete It's clearly not in the public domain, Commons_talk:Licensing#Warren_Commission_Report. Samulili 15:18, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I do not think it is that clear. The discussion is indeed there, as I thought appropriate to bring it in a broader forum although the discussion has apparently stopped there. Anyway, I finally found the credit page of the WC Report, which contains copyright notices for some reproduced stuff (such as this one), but no copyright notice (just "credit") for the full version of the Altgens picture for instance. What the impact is of "credit" vs "copyright notice", I am not sure, but in any case there is no notice at all for the reworked version of the Altgens pic I have uploaded. Other possible aspects of the issue are the absence of copyright notice in relation with this or with the exception applicable to stuff published "pre-1964". Some arguments in favour of the free status of the document, but to what extent they are convincing I do not know. I am a pre-90's european lawyer, these US technicalities are a bit unclear ;-) Bradipus 20:35, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I believe if it was first published in the USA before 1978 without notice of copyright it is public domain per US law anyway. Any info on first publication and if there was a copyright notice? -- Infrogmation 15:23, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    It was for sure published on November 22 or 23, 1963, but was it with or without copyright notice...But we can control that it was published in September 1964 in the WC report (full version, with a credit but no copyright notice) and in November 1964 (the reworked version, published in volume 16 of the exhibits, without credit or notice). Bradipus 20:40, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    It was published in the Warren Commission report without a copyright notice. But that was probably not when it was first published. Even if it was, that still doesn't make it a work of the US federal government. I'm thinking they could use an unpublished work under fair use just as they could a published one. I don't think this would count as the "first publication", even if it was never published before or since, and doing so would not make it a government work any more than me publishing your unpublished photos gives me the copyright to them. Or something. This is a headache. ;\ Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 00:34, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I have sources who say clearly it was published either on the day or the day after the assassination. Remember Altgens was working for United Press. As hinted hereabove, I think the solution may be the same as the one for Image:Moorman.jpg. Bradipus 12:51, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep: As stated on the image description page, this work was produced in 1952 in Australia. Australian copyright law states that photographs (even artistic ones) taken prior to 1st January, 1955 are in the public domain, so there is no problem here. I have added a link to the image description page proving that the photograph was taken in 1952, by an Australian photographer, of an Australian dancer, and is held by the National library of Australia. I think it's fair to assume that the photograph was taken and first published in Australia. Therefore, the image is certainly in the public domain under Australian copyright law.

[edit]

All images owned by B.Harry - Licence incompatible with free use - Copyright owner requires notification before use (see here). This is impossible to comply with anyway since the copyright owner's email address has been suppressed.

Images include:

--Rlandmann 12:04, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I request two weeks time to contact Harry B and to get his permission. although Permission exists for the use of the images. Until that time please don't delete this.Thank you. Chanakyathegreat

Yes, permission exists - that's not under dispute. The problem, however, is that the permission has a condition attached ("But also notify [MAIL REMOVED] before usage as well") which is unacceptable (see here under "Acceptable licences") and, in this case, unable to be complied with anyway. I doubt even we've been adhering to B.Harry's terms; has he been informed every time one of these images has been used in a Wikipedia article? --Rlandmann 19:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The wording of the owner's conditions is "but also inform... before usage as well". How can that be construed to be anything other than a condition of use? The encyclopedic value of these images is not under dispute, but that doesn't make them free to use. The uploader of these images asked for two weeks to get clearance for these images, and that was nearly three months ago now, with no sign of any progress. --Rlandmann 00:31, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment It is very easy to fix this. Someone email the owner and let him know that his pictures are being used on "The Internet" as cc-by-sa states they will be linked back to commons (or where ever they came from). And call it a day. --ShakataGaNai Talk 08:21, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This picture was not produced by "20 minutos", but only reproduced. Dantadd 18:26, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then, would it be a case of misatribution by 20 minutos? 20 minutos licenses publish their work under a by-sa CC license, unless its signed by another author, which this photo is not. Thus, it does not fall into any of the exceptions listed in http://www.20minutos.es/licencia_20_minutos/ . Obviously the picture was made before the founding of 20 minutos, not for them, so its either an already existing free work they use and license, or a previous private work the use without caring for providing authorship. --Javier ME 09:01, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
We cannot know if it's a case of misattribution unless we found the true source of the picture. Until then, the only thing we know is that the photo seems to be under the CC license stated in the website, since no other source (and in particular none of the CC-excluded sources) is cited. Thus, deletion should not proceed. Habbit 18:32, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. 20 minutos was founded in 2000, so they are certainly NOT the authors of this photo (it looks like an official shot to me, by the way). 20 minutos has published lots of older copyrighted photos without (proper) attribution. I do not understand the rationale of "if we cannot find the real source, preserve it": I always thought the uploader was the one who had to prove the photo is free. --Dodo 09:58, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Or you could read it another way: The uploader understood that the GFDL is inconvenient for presentations, and so gave additional permissions for that. Same for non-commercial re-use.

The given source ("The English-speaking wikipedia, picture uploaded by Author, under the "GFDL" License") is not specific enough to be verifiable; most probably it refers to the image which was inserted recently into en:Celia Calle and was deleted a few hours ago because of "Lack of licensing or source information".

A previous upload by the same user at Image:CeliaCalle.jpg was deleted because of an unfree license. High on a tree 13:29, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is no need to delete this image. I have uploaded it with full free permission for public use and for the Artist on Wiki. I am the owner of this image (Author). I previously uploaded the same image, but accidentally placed it under unproper use.

  •  Delete - in the absence of some proof that the uploader can validly license the image it should be deleted. The would probably require an OTRS email proving ownership. --Herby talk thyme 15:35, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please feel free to email the author privately for any proof that this image is a valid license image of the Artist, and was given permission to use freely for the Artist (Email has been included here for this very purpose). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wbcity (talk • contribs) 17:36, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep This image is no copyright violation. If you follow the source link, you get to the image description page on flickr. There it says clearly that the picture is licensed as CC-BY-SA 2.0. Perhaps Mifter should act more diligently before slapping a deletion request on an image, especially check the flickr source page for the actual license. If this is just an oversight, I beg a pardon. Can happen to everyone. Of course the picture is copyrighted, also GPL licensed software or CC-licensed works are copyrighted - but they are licensed. Only old public domain works are not copyrighted anymore. Gorinin 19:11, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I am so sorry about all of this, when I saw the description I misinterpreted the description as to mean that the Image had been made by someone else and copyrighted, and was posted to Flickr by someone else who was not the copyright holder and then incorrectly licensed as their own work, I did see that the page said CC-BY-SA 2.0. was the license but I thought that the Flickr User was not the actual copyright holder thus making the license in-valid and as a result I put it up for deletion. I truely apoligize for this, I simply thought that it had been made by a stock photo company which makes copyrighted Images for press use which are not allowed on Commons.

Crazy Horse Memorial

[edit]

I believe that since because the Crazy Horse Memorial is a private undertaking, not a government project, that images of it, and the various other models, replicas, and artworks at the memorial site are non-free derivative works. Kelly 17:46, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Nonsense. Keep them. The Crazy Horse Memorial Organization should be contacted at memorial@crazyhorse.org
Keep Nonsense. Have you not read all the discussions with people, who want to withdraw their donated pics from commons, with the argument: No, you can't change you licence later. It's the same in real life. This was a government work, now it's private. No reason to change the licence Mutter Erde 18:26, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I read the Wikipedia article and all the links from it that are still alive. I didn't see anything that indicated the monument was ever a work produced by an employee of the federal government or under a contract specifying the outcome would be a work for hire. I got the impression that it is and always has been a private non-profit endeavor. It would be helpful if you could provide the source of your claim that it was a government work.
Even if it were true that it was originally a government work, my understanding is that the monument is now being modified independently of the government (and please feel free to object if you think this assertion is false). If that's the case, then the work can definitely change from a public domain work to a copyrighted work, as a public domain work with copyrightable modifications is subject to the copyright of the persons making the modifications.

I guess I don't understand your question - I said that the statue is private, not government. To my knowledge, the statue has never been a government work. Kelly 20:12, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have read the "since" as "now it is a private property". In en I found this description: The monument has been in progress since 1948 and is still far from completion. If finished, it will be the world's largest sculpture... That looks to me like a Government work. In 1948 the Indians were very poor people. Mutter Erde 20:28, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The Lakota are not building the monument - in fact, many of the Lakota don't like the whole idea. It is a private enterprise. Kelly 21:16, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Question: is the monument located in an Indian reservation, and if so, what does that mean in terms of applicability of US copyright laws? LX (talk, contribs) 18:52, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe it is part of a reservation...IIRC, South Dakota has 7 or 8 reservations, and the Black Hills isn't included. (Actually here is a map - no reservation.) In any event, this shouldn't affect copyright law. Indian reservations are technically lands administered by the Federal Government, and U.S. law extends there. When the reservations enjoy special privileges within the law, as in the case of gambling establishments, those privileges are generally established by Congress or the Federal courts.

why should the Crazy Horse sculpture page be deleted? Personally i never knew a sculpure existed at all, therefore if it had been deleted i would possibly never have been aware of it! Free access to the page of the sculpture makes a contribution to world awareness of the crimes committed against the native americans--83.40.143.124 08:50, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It appears the images mentioned in the deletion discussion may infringe on the sculptors' copyright, which would make it illegal to host them here. That is why. If all images on the gallery page are deleted, it doesn't serve much of a purpose, so it would probably be deleted too. Pages on other Wikimedia projects are of course unaffected aside from images hosted here being removed from them. LX (talk, contribs) 17:05, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The facts of the issue are:

  1. It is undoubtedly a sculpture. Yes, a freaking huge sculpture carved out of a mountain, but we can no more call this "a photo of a mountain" than we could call a photograph of the Mona Lisa "a photo of some canvas and some paint".
  2. It is not, and never has been, a work of the United States Federal government (as one commenter has claimed).
  3. United States law does not allow distribution of photographs of sculptures, when such sculptures are still under copyright. This one clearly is still under copyright; that it has (to quote one commentator) enough originality to qualify for copyright in their own right makes no difference -- indeed, this is actually a pretty good legal definition of what distinguishes a derivative work from a plain old copyright infringement.
  4. The Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation, the copyright holders, are actively against people distributing photographs of the memorial.

With these things considered, and no thorough refutation of these facts being offered, I'm very surprised this has gone on so long. Therefore, all these photos have been deleted. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 06:26, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On freedom of panorama for statues in USA EugeneZelenko 15:30, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This statue is commonly used at George Mason for promotional purposes. Indeed, social organizations often take pictures of this statue and use it for their own purposes, with no objection from either the artist or the school.

See here: http://braddockheritage.org/history/present/

And here: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/28/sports/ncaabasketball/28mason.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

Furthermore, popular statues located at University campuses are rife on Wikipedia, with no problems. For example, the Homer statue at UVA, and the War Memorial at Virginia Tech.

I realize I'm boring on about this but this is a great statue, part of the George Mason community, and should be part of any good wiki page about GMU. Here is an article about a panel of "Public Artists", including Wendy Ross, the sculptor of the George Mason statue. http://gazette.gmu.edu/articles/9787/ "Public Art' is a distinct and meaningful phrase, from the first line of the wiki page: "The term public art properly refers to works of art in any media that has been planned and executed with the specific intention of being sited or staged in the public domain, usually outside and accessible to all." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_art It is inconceivable that a professional artist like Wendy Ross would be unaware of what she is saying when she states: "I enjoy creating work in the public domain".Laxmatt 05:08, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Public domain" has a meaning outside of the context of copyright, so it is quite conceivable that she didn't think about the copyright meaning of the term when she said that. Wendy M. Ross has the copyrights on the statue unless she signed them over to someone else. She can't control people taking pictures of the statue, but she can potentially control people publishing images of the statue; at least any publication that wouldn't be fair use anyway. Why don't you just ask the sculptor for permission to license the image as either PD, CC-BY, CC_BY-SA, or GFDL? That's what was done with Image:Babe Ruth statue.jpg. (Warning: be prepared to explain precisely what these licenses and "releasing into the public domain" mean, and be prepared for a potentially lengthy e-mail exchange. If and when you do have the artist's permission to license the image under a free license, forward the whole e-mail exchange to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org, stating clearly to which image that applies. Don't worry if the image gets deleted before you have the explicit permission, it can be restored. That happened to the Babe Ruth image, too.) Without explicit release by Wendy M. Ross: Delete Lupo 10:38, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    And besides, maybe it's better anyway to delete this image and go through the whole process for a new image of the statue that is includes the feet. Lupo 10:38, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, she doesn't have the rights to the statue: George Mason University does. I only point the quotes to illustrate that this statue was from the outset a work of public art. Also, given the educational and research nature of the wiki article on GMU, it seems evident that the picture indeed falls under fair use.Laxmatt 15:45, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah, maybe it was a work made for hire for GMU. Then ask them. The point is, ask the owner of the copyrights. "Fair use" images are not allowed here. The problem with public art in the U.S. is that there are still copyrights on public artwork, and U.S. copyright law has no exception for images of public art. Such photos are just derivative works of the public artwork. Other countries' laws explicitly declare photos of public artwork not to be derivatives (or rather, they say that such photos may be published and sold without the consent of the owner of the copyrights on the public artwork). But sadly not so in the U.S. See COM:FOP. Lupo 21:19, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Images of Fabelfroh 2008

[edit]
images
[edit]

Plus a lot more not listed here. See the user's gallery for the remaining images uploaded with the extra "restrictions". (His request, however, is for all his uploads from 2007 and 2008, a total of nearly 2000 high quality images.)

Nomination
[edit]

I nominate the newer Pictures of User:Fabelfroh for mass deletion. Those pictures are licensed CC-BY-SA-NC-3.0 in their metadata. This is not a valid license. In the Infobox there is a CC-BY-SA-3.0 template, however with the restriction ... a commercial use of the image is only possible with the permission of the author. This is clearly against Commons:Licensing#Acceptable_licenses which doesn't allow this restriction. Currently it looks like Fabelfroh is not willing to make his work commercially available anymore. Unfortunately. I still hope he changes his mind because his work is great! Ikiwaner 20:54, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion
[edit]
  • Delete There is no option but to delete the relevant images with this non-commercial restriction if User:Fabelfroh isn't prepared to change this as seems to be the case. However, despite this user's request request to delete "ALL photos of 2007, 2008 and ALL moss photos too. And I mean ALL", only those photos with invalid licenses can and should be deleted. I'd like to leave this a few days though to see if any other solution can be found. I wouldn't like for us to have to delete all these images then find there is a way to keep them. Adambro 23:09, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This deletion request is for those explicit NC-images only. About 250 of Fabelfrohs 1800 images are affected. I think the other images are OK since they are without further restrictions. Fabelfroh can't redraw a license he once gave. --Ikiwaner 04:46, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Oh, we could technically keep them as I pointed out on his talk page. The license these are under makes it perfectly clear that that those additional restrictions don't apply or are completely optional. If the metadata and the license tag don't match, then it's dual-licensed and either one can be used. Anyone's allow to remove the NC part from the metadata (implying we choose the other). This isn't a licensing issue since these are CC-BY-SA-3.0 and nothing more. This is a "it right to hold the author to these terms against their will?" If the author wasn't a member of the community and this was some random website's material, it would be different. I still would prefer a better rationale for removing these from Commons but regardless I don't think people would feel comfortable keeping them. Rocket000 04:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment And there's a lot more discussion of the above-mentioned issue here, between the Rocket and I. I worried about informed consent, the Rocket made the good point that "it is the licensor's responsibility to understand the terms and conditions they are willfully agreeing to". But then, isn't there some responsibility on our part to make people know what they are consenting to? That a certain new user (who I dealt with today) who persistently uploaded materials as "all rights reserved, contact us if you want to us it" should trouble us enough, but here we're talking someone who has been uploading materials to Commons since 2005. How is this possible? If he really had no idea about this (and there's a case to be made for him being fully aware of it), are we stating our requirements explicitly and forcefully enough? And for goodness' sake, how did FP and QI reviewers miss this? Do they even understand the problem here?
    These, I think, are serious issues that need to be discussed. Maybe we need to be more annoying about this at upload time. Or maybe he knew the deal around here and was just screwing with us all along, using Commons for self-promotion. Discuss. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 06:14, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment If the copyrights are indeed partly owned by the university (which I'm not sure about, as Germany doesn't have the same work for hire laws that the US has), then the CC license was not valid in the first place. In that case we can't do anything but delete all images affected by this, not only those with a NC statement. I am sure that the Urheberrecht (similar, but not equal to copyright) always belongs to the author and is non-tranferable. Usage rights, on the other hand are implicitly tranfered to the employer. The question is whether these can be transfered exclusively and whether they were transfered exclusively in this case. --rimshottalk 06:17, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • This is my worry as well. Basically, if the user incorrectly specifies the usage rights he has on his own copyrighted works, would this be classified as what we call in the rest of the world: "a copyright violation" ? Are we supposed to subject to the entity that has the usage rights? I seems to be so. TheDJ 11:23, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I'm generally finding myself in agreement with Rocket's dual licensing comments. I do share Lewis' concerns re QI and FP, and I really don't know what to do about it at this stage. Reviewer education is needed. But I don't think deleting the images will help in that regard. giggy (:O) 10:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Incidentally, if help is needed in closing this (if kept), I can use Giggabot; specifically approved for this sort of thing. Just give me a yell. giggy (:O) 10:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      We can't keep these images, even if the uploader has violated the license by specifying additional conditions which aren't valid, it should be clear that he hasn't and doesn't agree to release these images under an allowed license. We can't just remove the additional conditions and keep them. It is very disappointing that as I understand it, some of these photos have gone through the FP and QI processes despite these issues and it highlights a lack of scrutiny which has to go beyond simply looking whether it is a good or interesting photo or whatever. I'm not very familiar with either of these processes but checking the licensing should be the first stage of both as it is the most important. It doesn't matter how great an image is if it shouldn't be on Commons. The only option I see available unless the uploads changes his position. Adambro 11:44, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete non-commercial is non-commercial. The intent of the author with these specific images is obvious once you read his license (basically an adaptation of cc-by-sa-3.0). This is not a revoke, but simply a license that is not allowed on Commons (If I add additional non-compatible requirements to the GPL license in my software, the FSF won't recognize it as GPL software either). Also there is the possibility of an incorrect interpretation of the usage rights that could be granted by this user (some usage rights possibly lay with the university as mentioned above by rimshot). As such the rights might not be HIS to grant, and as such there might be a partial copyright violation with all images uploaded, even those that do not have the -NC adaptation. The problem is how can we distinguish between his personal photo's and photo's that were taken as part of his University work? TheDJ 11:23, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • To clarify my difference with Rocket000 in this case, who asserts that due to: "There are no understandings, agreements or representations with respect to the Work not specified here. This License constitutes the entire agreement, Licensor shall not be bound by any additional provisions that may appear in any communication from" might technically enable us to remove this NC restriction from his images. I'm not so sure about this. I think that because of the way our licenses are made "visible", Fabelfroh effectively changed the license, instead of making such "additional provisions that may appear in any communication from You." I also therefore propose we move the attribution to a separate "section" (possibly just a simple <hr> beneath the CC-BY-SA license to make the difference more clear.
      • Fabelfroh didn't change the license. It stills says CC-BY-SA-3.0, right? You're arguing against what the actual legal document says, not me. Rocket000 14:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • No, what i assert is that he used a different license and put the CC-BY-SA-3.0 sticker on his own license. The assertion is that as soon as you change this license, you can no longer call that license by the same name, without violating the license. As such, he created a derivative of the license that misused the "moniker" CC-BY-SA-3.0 without actually being the CC-BY-SA-3.0 license, and that this is probably illegal. It does not necessarily mean that the works automatically are subject to this license (at least not in all countries in the world, especially if this was not the intent of the licensee). I understand what you are trying to say, but that is something that applies mostly to derivative works, where you have the issue of contamination ( a piece of a work forces a new work into a certain license) or with revoking licenses. TheDJ 19:30, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • Also note that this is an assertion. I'm not saying its true, but i'm saying that things like this can be very complicated. What you quote from the license is there more to protect the license itself, and possibly the licensor and the licensed work from 3rd party distribution. In practicality I think is not a given that it traps the licensor into a license once he has put the string "CC-BY-SA-3.0" on a work. In many courts throughout the world, the original intent of the copyright holder will be important and the question will be raised if the string "CC-BY-SA-3.0|withrestrictions" will be recognized as a separate/new license, that illegally carries the CC-BY-SA-3.0 moniker, as opposed to it being "CC-BY-SA-3.0 license with illegal and not relevant additions by the copyright holder". When you say "technically" you mean "to the letter of the license", but unfortunately copyright law is much more vague when you actually bring it into a court, even if you have licenses that are as well defined and relatively "clear" as those of CC seem to be.

  •  Comment Those are great hard to replace photos that took a lot of labor to upload and organize. It seems like Kristian Peters name appears as author 4 times on each page and Fabelfroh few times too, but there is no mention of any university copyrights. I think the university restriction was probably invented afterwards to explain tinkering with the copyright templates. --Jarekt 12:58, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Freely licensed and within our scope. ...and for the following reasons:

  • Fabelfroh has never made the claim he didn't know non-commercial licenses weren't allowed. Actually, all the evidence points to him knowing full well all along. The most obvious and compelling reason for this assertion is that he only included this little restriction in the metadata. Now obviously, if you don't want to allow commercial use, you're going make sure people know that! The common person doesn't check the metadata—I think I first pointed this out and I only check if because of the current discussion. This seems kinda deceiving to me.
  • As I said above, just because the license tag and the EXIF data don't match doesn't mean there's an issue. It just means it's dual licensed and since one is a free license, this is allowed on Commons.
  • So the license is fine. What about the additional statement: "Also a commercial use of the image is only possible with the permission of the author"? Well, according to the actual legal part of the license he willfully and publicly stated it was released under, this addition restriction is completely optional.
  • After being informed that additional restrictions can be safely ignored by anyone, he continued to license his images with the additional text. Again, the common person isn't going to know everything about the Creative Commons licenses (as some previous comments show). Whether or not it's intended, this is pretty misleading not unlike the metadata situation.
  • This isn't the first time Fabelfroh has added additional restrictions on top of licenses that don't allow it.[9][10][11]
    • The issue with the GFDL addition is that is makes it completely incompatible with "real" GFDL licensed material. If it was even possible to add anything in the first place (which it's not, without calling it something else). The same goes for any share-alike license. You can't "share-alike" if everyone has their own customized copy-left license. This is staple of all copyleft licenses.
    • Originally, I believe this was done as a honest misunderstanding of the license as the original beginning said "For clarity over section 4 of the GFDL license..." This was later changed to "In addition to and for clarity over section 4 of the GFDL license..." so he plainly knew he was making additions.
  • His knowledge of the GFDL (like clarifying Section 4 for us) suggests he's not as clueless about these licenses as it may seem.
  • There's a history here of trying to restrict the use of his photos while still being allowed to enjoy Commons with all his QIs, FPs, praise, and of course, exposure.

There's one issue left I didn't touch on... he now says he doesn't have full rights to these images. To put it bluntly, I simply don't believe this:

  • He never mentions this in the license. For someone so concerned1 2 with us following the letter of these licenses, you'd think he won't leave out a small detail like the copyright holder of his own license.
  • Usually, when there's kind of joint deal with photographers and their employers (I guess that's the relationship) the terms are layed-out beforehand and agreed upon. His ability to continuously change the license doesn't suggest this happened.
  • Even his metadata says he owns the copyright in so many words: He owns the original copyright. So what, that means he sold out on us? He owns the original copyright but "sold" part of it to some university? He's contradicting himself.
  • He originally stated that it was his intention to limit commercial use, not some third party: The idea behind the addition was to restrict commercial use to wiki(m|p)edia only. And that still is my intention.
  • Previous to this "university owns part of the copyright" claim, he said he couldn't change it due to some dubious compatibility issue with Flickr.

Some are amazed that this has gone unnoticed for so long. I'm not. He's been here since 2005. He's a well know user with what looks like a standard license (and it technically is). The NC part is hidden away where no one looks. And that extra condition was added in like it was just some additional attribution-specifying after thought. Who checks the license of well established users every time they view one of their images?

I said keep because I believe the user is the sole copyright holder and knew exactly what he was doing. When he couldn't get his way, he decided that he rather not let us have any of the images from the last two years (and the moss ones for some reason) regardless of the licenses attached to them. Should we really keep them... that's up to the community. Like I said I don't think many will feel comfortable keeping them, so the question is do we honor this user request and delete "ALL photos of 2007, 2008 and ALL moss photos too. And I mean ALL." or do we pick and choose and go with only the ones listed here? Or do we accuse the user of uploading things with false licenses he had no right to do and delete them all as copyvios? Rocket000 14:04, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest we'd be better concentrating on the non-commercial issue and worry about his suggestion that he might not be the copyright holder of some of the images separately. As you note, for him to turn around and say this now is somewhat suspect. Adambro 16:41, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"according to the actual legal part of the license he willfully and publicly stated it was released under, this addition restriction is completely optional", well, the license does say that. But then, are we really saying that the courts will interpret a license atomistically, as if it had some separate existence apart from the intent of the author? Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 17:14, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think we have different ideas about what his intentions were. Rocket000 19:55, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I do not understand how Rocket000 uses this as an argument for keeping the images: The idea behind the addition was to restrict commercial use to wiki(m|p)edia only. And that still is my intention. To me that's the sad reason why this is not a formalistic discussion but the lack of Fabelfrohs will to allow unlimited commercial use. Given the assumption that WikiM|Pedia is a non commercial project no commercial use is allowed at all. --Ikiwaner 17:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Wouldn't it be better if when you uploaded an image you _had_ to select a valid license and that would be listed on the image description page in a non-editable way so there was no way to write additions or other non-valid licenses ? The chosen license should also not be changable by the user itself after upload. /Daniel78 19:08, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Unfortunately, the credit/acknowledgement line was used for this, which simply needs to be user editable. This is why I suggested we make a clearer separation in this CC-BY-SA license about what part deals with the actual license, and what part deals with the required credit line of this license. That would make cases like this easier to spot, and it would be harder to fool non-Commons people in this world. TheDJ 19:37, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Even so, but it seems all people have to do is say they don't want to allow commercial use anymore and people disregard what the license says anyway. Rocket000 19:59, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Rocket000 arguments. --Jarekt 14:00, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and scrub the invalid extra conditions. Fabelfroh has made his bed, now he gets to lie in it. First-time user, I can see giving them the benefit of the doubt, but Fabelfroh has been around a long time, and now has only the choices of accepting the free license or publicly admitting to dishonesty. Stan Shebs 09:03, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete In my opinion, if there is an apparent licensing conflict then we ought to accept the licensor's apparent intent at face value and act accordingly. It appears that Fabelfroh's intent from the beginning on these images was to include a restriction limiting commercial use. Yes, that is self-contradictory with the inclusion of the CC-BY-SA-3.0 tag. Either this contradiction is intentional (which I see no specific evidence of) or the contradiction is the result of a simple mistake. The people voting Keep here want to exploit that mistake by using only the CC-BY-SA portions of the license to determine that these works are in actuality free of commercial restrictions.

    Personally, I do not consider that to be ethical. If it one assumes Fabelfroh never intended to forgo the commercial restrictions, then saying that Fabelfroh waived these provisions by error is essentially trying to exploit Fabelfroh's mistake to her detriment and our advantage. Beyond the mere question of ethics, it is not obvious whether simply removing the contradictory clauses would be legal either. Contract law establishes that an agreement may be void if the agreement contains a mistake and the non-mistaken party is aware of the mistake and attempts to exploit it to his advantage. It is possible, though probably not obvious, that attempting to exploit Fabelfroh's mistake in order to invalidate the commercial clauses and force Fabelfroh into a position she never intended would be sufficiently grievous to void the entire proceeding, and in essence generate the legal finding that CC-BY-SA was never appropriately agreed to in the first place. Hence, I think we have to be concerned that the contradictory clauses create a situation where, in essense, the accompanying CC-BY-SA statement has been tainted to such a degree as to be legally unenforcable.

    In the face of complicated issues like this, I don't think it is really our place to assert to the rest of the world that these images are bona fide free content. If Fabelfroh won't agree to remove the restrictions herself, then I think the only appropriate course of action is to delete the images. If, as some apparently believe, Fabelfroh has been attempting to exploit our system for her own advantage by willfully including the questionable licenses, then I think that is all the more reason to remove the content and insist on only content that is unambiguously allowed. Dragons flight 02:28, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep for the moment. My reading of the extra terms is that they are intended to allow non CC-BY-SA usage, with the permission of the user. But I agree they need to be clarified one way or the other. Regards, Ben Aveling 07:19, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of making a another even larger mass deletion request, let's also deal with Fabelfroh's request to delete all his images from 2007 and 2008 (plus some other non-specified images). If you're going on perceived intent here and not what the license says, we should remove all images he doesn't want to be free. Deleting only the ones uploaded after this change would still be going by the letter of the law in a way. He has requested these all be tagged for a deletion request, but I feel these can be dealt with together (and IMO, the fate of both should be the same). Rocket000 15:20, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think we've got to make a distinction between images he uploaded and released under a free license and those that he didn't. I think it is important to note that he didn't upload the later images under an acceptable license and then wanted to delete them when it came to light that this would allow commercial use. It should be obvious that with the later images, he never agreed to release them under an accepted license. So whilst I think we should delete the later images because he never really agreed to release them freely, those earlier images without the additional restriction regarding commercial use were released under an acceptable license and so should be kept. There are no grounds to delete the earlier images since he can't withdraw the license and so any images before the December 2007 change should be kept, any after should be deleted. I'd therefore suggest that we concentrate on discussing these later images. Adambro 15:38, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, everything he uploaded is under a free license. CC-BY-SA-3.0 is indeed a free license (and he hasn't removed that after being informed extra restrictions are null and void, btw). It's the intent we are considering, which appears to be the same in both cases (the user himself doesn't make a distinction). Of course he can't withdraw the license in either case, but can we hold him to it? And if we can, should we? Rocket000 01:22, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This issue isn't if can Fabelfroh withdraw consent. The issue is if Fabelfroh was able to give consent in the first place. Regards, Ben Aveling 23:03, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
We can't do that. If Fabelfroh didn't have permission to upload under a free license, we can't keep them. Regards, Ben Aveling 22:35, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Beloved seemingly francophone wikipedian,
  1. it strongly infringes WP policies to remove a deletion request from an article, as you did here:
    http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Josef_Pr%C3%B6ll&diff=11524577&oldid=11495188
  2. It is even worse to declare such changes, as you did, as "minor changes".
  3. The subpage you created and seemingly want to "protect", has nothing but redundant information to the category and its picture descriptions.
  4. I note that at 15:43 local time (13:43Z), the gallery "article" is still unused in any WP projects:
    http://tools.wikimedia.de/~daniel/WikiSense/CheckUsage.php?w=_100000&i=Josef_Pr%C3%B6ll
  5. The comment you recently added to the gallery page would be more appropriate to the "Category" page, anyways.

Upgrade to Speedy. I reckon my suggestion that User:Kelson be blocked from editing as well is a good one. Reasons:

    • He keeps removing the deletion tag, apparently having difficulty understanding the "Do not remove this tag until the deletion request is closed".
    • In his last removal, he gave the spurious reason that we "are not allowed to ask" for content to be deleted -- which is news to me, if so then why is there a deletion process in the first place?
To my mind, Kelson has no understanding of Wikimedia Commons, what it is, what it's for or how it works, and at this rate never will, so enough already. -- Korax1214 00:46, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As long as I do not get any good justification : that means based on a rule elaborated by the community, I will not accept the suppression of this gallery.

Kelson has attempted to sabotage the deletion process again, hence Upgrade done -- "this gallery is subject to an existing deletion debate, which the owner has repeatedly sabotaged by removing the delete tag, under the delusion that he has special privileges including immunity from the deletion process (see gallery's revision history).

Speedy keep. Galleries holding the same content as a category are extremely common on Commons. This is no ground to request deletion.

Comment on behaviour:

  • WeHaWoe, your suggestion that this gallery is spam could be read as offensive ; your subsequent bossy attitude towards Kelson does nothing to alleviate the problem.
  • Kelson, you are not allowed to remove deletion request tags, as is clearly specified on them. Your command of English is sufficient for you to understand this.
  • Korax1214, statements like "perhaps delete User:Kelson as well, since this appears to be a vandalism-only account" are utterly unacceptable in any case. Kelson is a serous contributor on several Wikipedia projects, as can clearly be seen on his personal page.

[edit]

The gallery is pretty useless=100%redundant to the content of that less-than-poorly equipped category (3 pics in Category, 2 in Gallery, no description in Cat until I did, and 2 of 3 pics are mine).

Infringing was that deletion requests were removed (obviously more than once according to talk -- I did not care about or look up that more than once) by Kelson, thereby declaring his removal as "minor"

This gallery seems to be of no interest to anybody but Kelson at this given time (no links perceptible), and, meanwhile, user:Rama ;) Therefore I supposed kind-of "Link- and Namespamming". I'm not especíally keen on that kind of "stuff", but did rather stumble over, having contributed to the category and just seen redundant stuff in it. I will probably not contribute to any Category-vs.-Gallery discussions any more. Best, WeHaWoe 13:29, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

@Rama, mainly, and all others: keep it or delete it -- both will do pretty much the same. That's what I tried to express by my edit 11:39, 4. Jun. 2008 (&eod, from my part, REALLY). WeHaWoe 13:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Again, I might have to clarify: before I added my 2 pics, there was ONE pic in the category and of-course-same pic (guess by whom?) in that "One-pic-Gallery".

Exactly. This is not about the 3D object shown, it is about the photo itself. Lupo 07:06, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's perfectly OK to use this picture. It was taken from my website, johnrogers.info. The pictures of all of the Rogers statues on the website were taken from the book that my parents, Meta and Paul Bleier, and I wrote on John Rogers. Wikipedia has our permission to use this picture, particulary since the picture came from the archives at the New York Historical Society and is no longer copywrited and is in the public domain.

I'll have to spend some time and figure out how any of this works, but you can always contact me through the website noted above.)

Discussion

[edit]

These have all been tagged with "Copyrighted free use" due to text in the LAC catalogue of "restrictions on use: nil". However, this text refers the restrictions place on LAC by the original photographer, and is not a license. See an email from LAC and the copyright notice on the LAC website. My understanding of Canadian copyright law is that for photographs after 1949, life of creator + 70 years is required for PD, so I've nominated all the post-1949 images I found with a quick scan.

I know a lot of work has been put into uploading and cataloging these images, and we haven't received notice from LAC, but I think it's unfair to re-users to use images from Commons which they think are "free", but could ultimately land them a cease and desist notice from LAC. Some day these images will all be PD, and I suspect they will waiting for us in the LAC catalogue. --Padraic 14:44, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All of these images were uploaded but a handful of users, so I left a catch-all notice on their userpages, instead of the standard single-image template. I hope that's alright. --Padraic 15:27, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete them all. Speedy, anyone? Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 17:06, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Whoah, or not. What's this about "they also seem to be asserting control over those images which are now PD"? Are such images listed here (if so, delist them)? Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 17:26, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No. As I said above, these are all post-1949 images, which mean they cannot be PD, as 70 years has not passed since the date of creation, never mind the death of the creator. I would hold off on the Speedy just in case any of the uploaders may have a reason to identify them as PD. --Padraic 18:08, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And shouldn't that be 1939? *blinks* Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 18:11, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not according to Template:PD-Canada. My understanding is there was a legal change which affected everything after January 1, 1949, which is the reason why the creator death date is irrelevant for pre-1949 photos. --Padraic 18:37, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Disregard me, I misunderstood your point, wasn't thinking very hard and was doing 2009 minus 70... Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 22:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Am I right that we can upload these images to individual projects with a FUR? For instance, Image:Ben Johnson Seoul 1988.jpg given that LAC permits their re-use with copyright attribution and there is no longer an opportunity to make a free image of the same subject? Franamax 20:01, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You could give a FUR, but I think it would be unrelated to the LAC permission, since one of their criteria is "You do not manipulate and/or modify the material reproduced". But yes, my main point is that these don't belong on Commons (although I am also generating a similiar list of mistagged images at en.wp - I'm sure some of them wil be saved by fair use). --Padraic 20:08, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to break them up into smaller groups, feel free. However, I think your example is flawed: the copyright notice I linked to above applies to the entire catalogue, and makes it clear that commercial use is prohibit. The "reproductions on use" is not intended for external re-users; rather it is the limits imposed by the original photographer on LAC itself. These two parts of the catalogue are contradictory -- which is why I emailed them in the first place. I think their response is clear. --Padraic 20:19, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To quote from their email:

The terms of re-use of material which appears on your website,specifically granting permission to modify or create derivative products,does not meet our criteria to ensure that the authenticity of the originalmaterial which comes from our collections is retained. Additionally, the terms of re-use on your website state that the material can be copied and distributed directly from your website. Library and Archives Canada requires that we be contacted for any re-use of our original material and we supply the copies of the material to ensure that the authenticity is retained. This is achieved by licensing on a "one-time" use only. Any subsequent use or re-use of our material is subject to a separate license.

--Padraic 20:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I was just reading that email in response to your last message. My mistake, disregard my comments. Resolute 20:26, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Can we separate this list into images with no wikilinks, which can be speedied; and images used in projects, which we will need to look at individually to construct FUR's? Also, is there a method to notify the other projects that they will need to do this too? Also also, I'm not exactly clear on the process to put a non-free image onto en:wiki, will it get speedied because it duplicates a commons image (there are bots doing this)? Thanks! Franamax 21:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think the best way to do that would be on the talk page of the articles where it is being used, e.g. "This article uses xxxx.jpg, which will deleted from Commons May X, 2008. Should you wish to use it on your project under a fair-use rationale, be sure to make a local copy before May X." --Padraic 21:29, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK thanks, I'm relatively sure I'll be doing those efforts on en:wiki, people tend to either let things go as they are or rail against the horribility of actually having to justify using other people's property. I'll try it myself and I might be able to get other people to help. Now my further question is: is there an interwiki bot available which could place those notices in the relevant languages on the xx:wikis? I could generate those notices in English, but I don't have a crosswiki-login at the moment and English doesn't seem to be an appropriate language to use for all the various wikis. BTW, I'm running through the images to find the usages, if that's pointless, please let me know, this is my first try at preserving images across multiple languages. Thanks! Franamax 00:01, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete the many unused images list above. They are copyvios and should be removed ASAP. Do they need to be tagged in order to be speedy deleted, or can an admin just do it? --Padraic 19:46, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Endorse speedy's for the unused images. Plea for time on the others as I am still assessing use, changing crop-vio's, and organizing a response to preserve the image use. Franamax 22:08, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've completed (I think) the usage survey, changed/changing the crop-vio usage across various wikis, and the toolserver db needs some time to replicate now. I've asked for bot help on en:wiki and will shortly try to organize a mini-project to address these issues. I also plan to place speedy notations beside all the copyvios which can be removed at once. Thanks! Franamax 01:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, thanks a lot for all your work, Franamax. I can't spend any more time on this right now, but I'm happy to know it's being dealt with. --Padraic 12:53, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I made a list of en.wp-hosted LAC images at w:User:Padraic/LAC. Those will need to be FUR'd or deleted at some point. --Padraic 14:02, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I've identified all images that can be speedy'd without loss to any of the projects. Now comes the hard part - local uploads and FUR's, notifications to other projects, I can hear the en:wiki patrollers and image-bots sharpening their knives in anticipation :) I've copied the salvageable list to this page and I will try to organize some help (next two days) and start plugging through it on my own, starting with the cropvio's, and update the progress here. I understand these are all commons-ineligible and should probably be nuked immediately, but I'll ask for forebearance as long as we are showing progress. Is it reasonable to set a two-to-three week timeframe to clear this up? One week to en:upload and work out the issues, another week to notify the other projects and let them sort it out (or ignore), the last week for closeout? Anyway, I'll keep working on it, thanks! Franamax 23:42, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, you are dedicated. I was perfectly willing to let other wikis go back to the LAC catalogue themselves after these images were deleted from Commons, but you are certainly making this easier for everyone. Congrats on your spirit of co-operation. --Padraic 13:31, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
Canada is actually life+50, eh? WilyD 17:58, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Usually, but looking at Padraic's flowchart link, if the copyright has been assigned to LAC, does it now have a corporate owner, thus PD at creation + 50? Curiouser and curiouser. Franamax 21:12, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, it's not Crown Copyright if the Queen gets her mitts on the ownership, nor does it switch if a corp buys it. If a corp creates it, or the Queen (or her agents) create it, then it's a straight 50 years. Some of the "official portraits" then would be 50 years straight up - an authorised parlimentary photograph (for instance, I put up one of Trudeau) would be Crown, and thus 50 years (assuming LAC isn't licencing it freely, which I'm not convinced of in all cases, anyways.) WilyD 18:10, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
For instance, Image:Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II 5.jpg should be crown copyright, and hence expired anyhow.
Oh curse the day I ever saw this page! :) Now if I'm seeing things right 1) the Trudeau pic you refer to is Image:PierreTrudeau1980.jpg which is on the delete list because it's not yet +50 (actually life+50, 'cause it is copyright by a person); 2) All the Coronation...QEII pics are PD now and I can change the tags to reflect that; 3) and I think I found another one for the list: Image:Her_Majesty_Queen_Elizabeth_II_with_Prime_Minister_The_Rt._Hon._Pierre_Elliott_Trudeau_signing_the_Constitution.jpg. Have I got all that right? Franamax 19:12, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Err, not sure about the context of that Trudeau pic, but it doesn't matter - it's always at least 50 years to PD'ing - but if it's an official portrait, it's likely Crown Copyright, which is a flat 50 years. The Coronation pics should've entered the public domain in Canada on January 1st, 2004 - bcopyright is 50 year post creation for photographs if the owner is a corporation (in this case, a crown corp, but fine ....), agree with the constitution signing to go on the list ... *sigh*. WilyD 20:47, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It would be much simpler if we would all just run for Parliament in Canada and change the law... :) Franamax 22:11, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There are some mis-licensed images on en:wiki also. Please list any problems you find in a sub-section above (preferably), or alternatively at my en:wiki user-page for progress on addressing this. Franamax 03:03, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PD Questions

[edit]

Several of these images are Public Domain. Notably, photographs whose first owner is a corporation have their copyright expire 50 years after production. [15] Crown Copyright is also 50 years.

  1. Image:Canadian Supreme Court justices circa 1950.jpg Photograph whose first owner was a corporation, copyright expires 50 years after production - i.e. Jan 1, 2001
  2. Image:ChurchillStLaurent1954.jpg Photograph whose first owner was a corporation, copyright expires 50 years after production - i.e. Jan 1, 2005
  3. Image:Louisstlaurent.jpg expired Jan 1, 2001 - Note that LAC says "Copyright expired" NOT "Restrictions on use:nil"
  4. Image:Coronation of Elizabeth II 1.jpg, Image:Coronation_of_Elizabeth_II_2.jpg, Image:Coronation_of_Queen_Elizabeth_II_3.jpg, Image:Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II 4.jpg and Image:Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II 5.jpg Taken by the National Film Board in 1953 = Public Domain'd January 1st, 2004.

These three are the only ones I've so identified, although one of Diefenbaker says "Circa 1958" - obviously we care whether it was '58+ or '57 or earlier, the latter meaning it would be PD. WilyD 18:53, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great work! --Padraic 19:38, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't everything on commons need to be public domain in the United States? In that case don't we need to follow these rules? Gustav VH 18:06, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, right. I haven't come across a clear explanation of the rules on Canadian-American copyright on Commons -- maybe I'll write one. Based on that link, it looks like everything which was PD in Canada as of Jan 1, 1996 is fine, whereas everything else won't be PD untill 95 years after publication. Which means the above 4 images are no good (although if we ever start a Canadian Commons we can put them there). --Padraic 15:29, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't it also depend on whether the works were published or not? Quite how we would determine whether works were or were not published I have no idea... Gustav VH 15:38, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Do you mean "published", or "published in the US"? --Padraic 15:52, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I mean might some of this work come under the "Never Published, Never Registered Works" rules at the top? Gustav VH 14:12, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, that could be a gigantic headache, since LAC hosts a lot of unpublished private collections (e.g. Category:Photographs by William James Topley, although that passes the 70 years pma test). Something to watch for. --Padraic 14:34, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The main point seems to be if a previously unpublished work created before 1978 was published between 1978-2002, in which case it is PD in life of author + 70 years or 31 December, 2047 (whichever is later). If created before 1978 but published in 2003 or after it is just life of author + 70 years. So how on earth can we check what has and what hasn't been published? Gustav VH 16:00, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have no freaking clue. It sucks for re-users, but I think this ends up being one of those situations wher we just host it untill/unless we get a takedown notice. --Padraic 16:20, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I started a thread on commons-l on the idea of a repository for PD-Canada works which are ineligible for Commons. --Padraic 18:42, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A point that has been overlooked. Image:Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II 5.jpg is a British, not Canadian, work. Presumably the photographer was working for "The Crown" which as it was in the UK would mean the UK government. The British and Canadian crown are embodied in the same person, but they are different legal entities. It makes no difference to the free/non-free status - just means it should be PD-UKGov instead of PD-Canada. (addition)Actually, I'm not even sure of that, as looks like it is a Canadian worker who took the pictures, but UK copyright law would also apply on images taken in London (so now 3 countries matter?). Without detailed author info, I don't see how we can know which Crown the photographer was working for - they may have been working for them all simultaneously even.--Nilfanion 22:04, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New request because the old one (see above) is more than mysterious... Why PD-Japan? It´s a German foto. And don´t tell me, the image were PD because ist could be older than 70 years. That´s nonsense. Chaddy 15:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC) --Chaddy 15:31, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It would be in the PD, if the author were more than 70 years dead. But we don´t know the author and it´s improbable that he/she is more than 70 years dead, because the image must be from between 1933 and 1945. Chaddy 04:31, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That´s not a reason. Many images are needed for Wikipedia, but we can´t keep them, if they are not free. Chaddy 12:52, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is the one that here was renamed. --Ruioefj 03:56, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep Yes it is, the reason why I rename the file is that someone asked to delete the file because the name of the file had an intention to refer to a cartoon character. So I changed the file name to avoid the possible ambiguancy, and keep the description focusing on introduce an once existed Japnese express train "Kaikyo" without mentioned the cartoon character at all. Please keep in mind that my arguement about following the exemption rule of copyrights has been ignored and unanswered before the file was deleted. I think this is a very rude action since I'm really willing to discuss about the boundary between fair use and GFDL, but someone only want to swap off all the things they don't like without a proper communication. BTW, if this file has to be deleted, why you keep photos such as Image:Ana.b747.pokemon.arp.750pix.jpg, Image:Le sceptre d' Ottokar.jpg, Image:Finnair_MD-11_EFHK.jpg, and many many examples for so long? If you think my photo is not proper for WikiCommons, fine, I can accept it, but only if you kill all the photos with cartoon characters inside first!--SElefant 04:15, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think we can  Keep this. The primary subject is not the artwork on the train: it is the train itself. The functional parts of this train are more or less (Photoshop notwithstanding) inseparable from the artistic elements of the train. Those that would differ, should note that many train liveries (and not just "special" ones like this) are way above the threshold for copyright eligibility, and we could wave goodbye to nearly all our train photos if we were to apply this consistently (in before "WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS"). What's more, I think it passes the most important test: Would this photo be useful for illustrating an article about the Pokemon character, without reference to the train itself (i.e. "This Pokemon character was used on a train livery once")? I don't think it would. You may differ. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 12:44, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Self promotion Figure4 19:29, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Mostly deleted I've been asked to review this request because I had previously deleted material by the same uploader. Several issues apply so I'll present my reasoning with bullet points.

  • Is this a self-nomination? The nominator claims to be the same person as the uploader, but the nominator is on a different account and has offered no actual proof that he or she is the same person as the uploader. Therefore I haven't deleted anything as uploader request, although I may do so if this person provides confirmation: the simplest way would be to log into the uploading account and post here, "I confirm that I would like remaining material to be deleted."
  • Are these legitimate uploads The vast majority of these images are of people indoors who have not confirmed their permission for modeling. Commons policy requires model permission for recognizable photographs of people indoors, and the particular circumstances here--highly compromising material--call for zealous interpretation. For the record, some of the photographs I've deleted included people whose faces were partially obscured. It is my opinion that they remained recognizable, and that trumps any interest this site may have in representations of human sexuality: the images shouldn't have been uploaded in this manner in the first place, and wikimedians who wish to provide material of this nature ought to be diligent about doing so in a way that respects our obligations.
  • A few images do retain encyclopedic value without compromising anyone's privacy. The photographs of the Stonewall bar depict a notable historic site and are actually our best shots of its main business sign, so I will be cropping out the individual who stands next to the location and uploading under a new filename that doesn't suggest any person's identity. One of the intimate photographs cannot reasonably be interpreted as identifiable so I'm leaving that up, until or unless I receive confirmation that this is an uploader request. To the uploader: if you have lost the password to your previous account then please follow up and we'll consider other ways of confirming that.

This is a derivative work of the copyrighted sculpture, for which no permission has been given. --Superm401 - Talk 03:00, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


In particular, note that the UK law says "permanently situated in a public place or in premises open to the public". The installation of this statue was not, and was not intended to be, permanent. Superm401 - Talk 02:50, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kept. Per Collard; please prove the statue moves from day to day and you can have a full debate. giggy (:O) 03:30, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've unspeedied it again; speedy keep is for obvious cases, which this is not. Non-permanent does not mean "moves from day to day". It means that when it is installed, removal is planned. That is the case here. I can't prove something if no one is watching the debate (because it's already closed). Superm401 - Talk 03:45, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment (if I were logged-in this would be a vote): This photograph is of one of four temporary istallations to decide on the sculpture to occupy the previously-empty fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square. As Superm401 has pointed out, it was not (and was not intended to be, pending the competition results) a permanent installation (the last I heard, a sculpture of multiple layers of coloured glass was installed on that plinth), and I for one have never heard of this sculpture being installed anywhere else.
Perhaps someone could link to details of the competition, and of the relevant section of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988? -- 217.171.129.74 10:04, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Sorry, but it's not permanent. They keep putting different statues on this plinth. I think "temporary" and "permanent" may be rather fuzzy concepts and vary according to circumstances, but this is temporary like a painting in an exhibition not one in the main gallery of the museum. --Simonxag 01:26, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The map was created after the WWII (not pd-old) and it has not been proven that it is in public domain by any other means. Works by the municipality of Ljubljana are not public domain per default. --Eleassar (t/p) 17:13, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

May be so. Though, it is meant to be in public use and 100% none will claim rights. This map is reproduced around the city x-times to describe historical fact and is not of great aesthetical/economical value. {{Copyrighted free use}} should be the right licence, but if it bothers you, change it or delete the image, as you please. Ziga 06:17, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately 'copyrighted free use' is not the right license, due to the second sentence of ZASP, paragraph 5. For the works in public places it prohibits the usage in the 3D form, usage for the same purpose as the original work, and usage for commercial purposes. --Eleassar (t/p) 12:46, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I originally cropped and uploaded this image from NASA World Wind in 2008 for use in en:Mount_Pleasant_Caldera. However, I later found out that it is incorrect and in fact has nothing to do with the Mount Pleasant Caldera. Thus, the file name is incorrect. I am not sure what to rename the file as since it is an image of nothing specific. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Volcanoguy (talk • contribs) 2015-08-04T09:49:27‎ (UTC)

This is a derivative work of the copyrighted sculpture, for which no permission has been given. --Superm401 - Talk 03:00, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


In particular, note that the UK law says "permanently situated in a public place or in premises open to the public". The installation of this statue was not, and was not intended to be, permanent. Superm401 - Talk 02:50, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kept. Per Collard; please prove the statue moves from day to day and you can have a full debate. giggy (:O) 03:30, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've unspeedied it again; speedy keep is for obvious cases, which this is not. Non-permanent does not mean "moves from day to day". It means that when it is installed, removal is planned. That is the case here. I can't prove something if no one is watching the debate (because it's already closed). Superm401 - Talk 03:45, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment (if I were logged-in this would be a vote): This photograph is of one of four temporary istallations to decide on the sculpture to occupy the previously-empty fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square. As Superm401 has pointed out, it was not (and was not intended to be, pending the competition results) a permanent installation (the last I heard, a sculpture of multiple layers of coloured glass was installed on that plinth), and I for one have never heard of this sculpture being installed anywhere else.
Perhaps someone could link to details of the competition, and of the relevant section of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988? -- 217.171.129.74 10:04, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Sorry, but it's not permanent. They keep putting different statues on this plinth. I think "temporary" and "permanent" may be rather fuzzy concepts and vary according to circumstances, but this is temporary like a painting in an exhibition not one in the main gallery of the museum. --Simonxag 01:26, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. Yes, a confession: my earlier speedy keep was inappropriate. It was not permanently installed (as I errantly assumed it was), so UK freedom of panorama does not apply. It is clear to me, in retrospect, that this is indeed a "clear copyvio" case. My apologies to all. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 14:35, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Images uploaded by user Gorthaur

[edit]

These images should be deleted as likely copyright violations. Seven of the user’s 14 images have already been removed as infringing or not improperly attributed. A quick review of the remaining seven shows very different styles; they were surely executed on different media originally as well. It is inconceivable that the same individual created them all. Gorthaur claims he created them but he also claimed authorship of the seven copyrighted files already removed (including a sketch by Leonardo daVinci). In addition, after becoming aware that copyrighted material would be removed, he actively sought to conceal the true origins of at least two images he had previously uploaded. Details here. Given this history, the remaining images are highly suspect and in the absence of evidence to the contrary should be presumed to be copyrighted works, improperly uploaded.

[edit]

These images have been uploaded in apparent good faith by at least one user; unfortunately the website http://spain2you.pl/ is no longer reachable, hence the copyright condition stated for these images (link to the source) can no longer be complied with, nor can the copyright be verified. Hence this deletion is proposed as a safety precaution.

Not free in the country of origin. Author died 1940, Croatia has a copyright term of 70 years pma [28] Botev 19:34, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Botev, you obviously don't have enough knowledge about Croatian law to make judgment is some pic (or other work of art) PD or not. Check (if you know Croatian): Javno vlasništvo, in short, before 27 of July 1999 span of author rights in Croatia extended 50 years after authors death, after that date Croatia accepted EU laws (70 years of author rights after authors death).
So works of anybody who died before 31st of December 1948 (or on that day) are in PD.

Suspected Sony stock photo. Similar angle to Image:Dualshockbranco.jpg. Similar image in Holiday 2007 edition of US PlayStation: The Official Magazine. See table of contents and rotated image of controller. --Kelvinc 22:29, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • I am confused as to whether you are saying that they used your graphic (which was used before your upload), or whether you are saying that you edited the photo in the magazine or a photo from the same source (which means it shouldn't be on Commons if copyrighted). Kelvinc 07:13, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • None of the options! I was being sarcastic. I think you know what is that, don't you? I know perfectly Commons rules, that's why every photo that don't belong to me I get an OTRS permission. So, if this doesn't have a OTRS ticket I suppose that I took it :) Mizunoryu 大熊猫❤小熊猫 17:13, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The sarcasm doesn't go through written text very well. Here's what I can tell:
  • The angle and lighting of the photo is unusual. The front, top, and bottom of the controller appear to receive at least some lighting.
  • The quality is much better than your other uploads, such as Image:Canudo².JPG
  • A nearly identical image exists on a publication before the stated creation date.
  • The camera model in the metadata (Finepix E5120) doesn't exist.
It all makes me very skeptical on your claim that you took the photo. Kelvinc 01:42, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Its obvious that the magazine's photo appeared before mine, I don't work for Sony to get everything first before media. And this doens't explain your arguments, it's easy to see it's not the same photo. And similar it's different from equalMizunoryu 大熊猫❤小熊猫 17:08, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You don't have to work for Sony to receive press stock photos. And I agree that this image is a different one than the sample I showed, but that image is almost the same as Image:Dualshock3preto.jpg, and I am very skeptical on whether you took that photo. It's probable that both photos were taken from stock photos, or perhaps you took both photos yourself, but it's unlikely that one is a Sony copyrighted stock photo and the other is taken by you with almost exactly same lighting and position.

No reason to assume that the author died more than 50 years ago and even then - it may not be PD in the country of origin (Croatia?). Botev 15:12, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was merely reading the tag and it says the author died 50 years ago. I don't think you can safely assume that from the date of publication (and even if you could, it wouldn't necessarily mean PD in Croatia). But if the author is indeed unknown, then change the tag to {{Anonymous work}} and keep, otherwise - delete. --Botev 18:01, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I just read here that the copyright protection for an anonymous work in Croatia last for 70 years after publication (otherwise 70 years pma). So, even if the work is anonymous, we can't keep it. Speedy delete. --Botev 19:24, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep The law you read is from 1999 and yes, it says author's life + 70 years. It should be applied to works made on or after July 27th 1999. Old law from 1991. (NN 53/91. and 58/93.), which should be applied in this case says authors life + 50 years. According to that law rights to anonymous author's work is transfered to its publisher and it lasts for 50 years (chapter V., article 84.) --MayaSimFan 21:56, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep This is one of the millions of pious Catholic images of saints of which you will never be able to find an author, and which have never been subject of any copyright claims in the last 1000 years and are not likely to become that in the next 1000 years. It may be around 100 years old, maybe not, nobody knows and nobody will be able to find out.

All Logos

[edit]

On Commons Logos are normally not permitted, but there are some exempts about textlogos or really, really simple design-logos. In my oppinnion COM:SCOPE wants ALL our files to be free for everyone and for every purpose and trademark is not compatible with this, so I request herefore the deletion of ALL LOGOS under trademark. Regards, --abf /talk to me/ 11:27, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete all pictures of living people, because of personality rights;
  • Delete all works first published in a country that recognises the legal doctrine of moral rights (this, as I see it, is a somewhat close analogue to trademark law);
  • Delete all pictures of swastikas, Hitler and chums, etc, or at least those that originate in countries that forbid their use in certain contexts.
The list goes on. There are all sorts of non-copyright restrictions on what you can do with certain works. If we were to hold to it consistently, a few years down the line we'd find ourselves with about four pictures on Commons. TL;DR: Keep. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 11:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Its completly different with personallity rights, because there are clear restrictions. The Images we keep even if there are people are free to use, Trademark is not. abf /talk to me/ 12:02, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's not. Trademark law forbids using a certain image in a context that could cause people to confuse the person authoring a work with the trademark holder. I could, for example, publish a book about Microsoft and reprint the logo within without relying on a fair use defense. I couldn't use the word Microsoft (let alone the logo of such) to brand my own software product. The law is pretty clear about that sort of thing. Meanwhile, what is considered "disparaging" as far as personality rights go, is a lot more unclear and subjective IMO... Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 12:30, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Almost any image is in some way restricted. Images of living people are restricted by personality rights. Coat of arms are restricted by relevant laws. Money is restricted by counterfeiting laws. Images I take are restricted by unwaivable moral rights. And simple text logos are equally restricted by trademarks. We must draw a line somewhere. And that line is that we shall not look further than copyright. -- Bryan (talk to me) 12:32, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's not just money that's restricted by counterfeiting laws. In almost any jurisdiction you couldn't print out, say, the Mona Lisa and go and sell it as the original and genuine Mona Lisa. And you couldn't paper over the windows of someone else's house with a random image of a flower without their consent, or blast out a pronunciation file at full volume at 2am in a residential area, etc. I'll take back my comment above about "we'd find ourselves with about four pictures on Commons". If we held consistently to it, we would have to delete everything, because if you're creative enough you can think of a way in which just about every picture, video, and sound file on Commons could be used in a way that violated laws in pretty much every jurisdiction in the world. This is why we concern ourselves with copyright alone... Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 15:47, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Commons cannot provide more than copyright-free pictures in most jurisdictions. We would have to shut down the site for good if we want more. Maybe we should do this and start multiple Commons sites for different countries, with some sort of non-redundant file system. But that's another question. --AndreasPraefcke 12:50, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a "mere fact or happening". Honestly, I believe the Chinese law is not applicable to photographs. Botev 09:47, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why was this page deleted???

It hasn't been deleted yet but I think it should be. I am reading the reason for the public domain claim in the tag {{PD-PRC-exempt}} and it says that a work is in the public domain if it falls under one of the following categories:
(1) laws; regulations; resolutions, decisions and orders of state organs; other documents of legislative, administrative and judicial nature; and their official translations;
(2) news on current affairs;
(3) calendars, numerical tables, forms of general use and formulas.
Can you tell me which of the three reasons applies here? I don't even think you can apply this law to any photograph. It seems to me you can apply it to some official documents (like laws and statutes), you can also apply it to copy a text from the newspaper that is a mere report of current events (even scans of newspapers would be problematic due to their design elements that might be copyrightable). And you cannot claim copyright on a mere calendar page that shows a list of the days in a month and their corresponding days of the week (though some other design elements could be copyrightable). But what is really relevant here - I don't see a reason why you could claim that this particular image is in the public domain under this law. --Botev 03:40, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Photo was taken during the performance of a Broadway show, which is illegal under NYC local law 383A, which forbids the use of recording devices during motion pictures and live performances. Copyright of the performance in its entirety is held by the producer and/or author, and therefore any unauthorized photograph is automatically a violation of copyright. --SixFourThree 19:40, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete It's a derivative work, but not because of 383A. Whether a photo was legally taken or not is entirely irrelevant to the copyright status of the work and, therefore, to us.

I addressed the derivative nature in my post above - the copyright of a performance (including all recordings) resides entirely with the producer and/or author, depending on their licensing agreement. The fact that it may have been taken illegally only adds to the inappropriateness of hosting it here. SixFourThree 17:51, 16 May 2008 (UTC)SixFourThree[reply]

What do you mean by not documented correctly? This was an picture by Nikola Gruev. Discussion on his permission to use his pictures under GFDL is documented at Bulgarian Wikipedia and at Template talk:NGruev. I can't draw a clear conclusion from the discussion as to whether Gruev agrees to commercial use of his pictures or not. He seemed to favor non-commercial use on Wikipedia only, but Google Translation is not good enough to learn whether he finally agreed to commercial use in the Bulgarian portions of the discussion or not. So I don't know whether the pictures are to be deleted or not. But whatever the answer may be: It should be applied to all of Gruevs pictures. Delete them all or keep them all. --Slomox (talk) 19:14, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No panorama of freedom of panorama in Belarus. Statue is main subject of image and is definitely less then 50 years old. EugeneZelenko 14:54, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delete Я загрузил это изображение и полностью согласен с указанной причиной удаления. Если можно, два вопроса на будущее: а) если бы статуя занимала, скажем, половину снимка, подлежал ли в этом случае снимок удалению? б) я загрузил еще фотографию - Image:Pinsk Saint-Feodor-Cathedral.jpg, похоже она также подпадает под это же ограничение, поскольку собору всего несколько лет. Так ли это? Спасибо. yay 22:01, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • а) К сожалению, закон не определяет количественных критериев. Но думаю, что если сфотографировать въезд так, чтобы главным объектом была дорога, а монумент был с краю, то всё будет в порядке.
    • б) Я задавал в 2006 году подобный вопрос на форуме http://praunik.org (к сожалению, форум сейчас недоступен). На тот момент времени в белорусском законодательстве отсутствовало определение произведения архитектуры. Например, на Украине это и само здание, в Казахстане - только проекты, эскизы и документация.

The fact that the picture has been hanged on a building wall doesn't affect it's copyright status. It's like a poster. There are posters all over the streets - they are copyrighted and photos of them can't be uploaded here. --DStoykov 20:05, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

From w:Wikipedia:Public domain. Photographic reproductions, as a form of derivative work, may inherit the copyright of the original work. If that artwork is in the public domain, then so is the photograph. If, however, the depicted work is copyright protected, then, although there is no independent copyright on the photo itself, it cannot be considered to be in the public domain as the original rights holder still has the authority to control how reproductions of his work, including photographs, are made and distributed. The same applies to digitized images. --DStoykov 12:33, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Your analogies are poor. Design of 3D objects such as a car or a wax figure is much less strictly protected than 2D artworks. The copyrghted works in the other 2 examples are parts of a bigger landscape, your photo is an almost exact representation of a copyrighted work of art. As for the amount of deletion requests, please, don't blame ME for your incompetence in the area of copyright. --DStoykov 12:33, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
DStoykov, I think the original uploader has the right. This deletion request is ridiculous. --Chech Explorer 13:26, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Is it? How about spending some time to learn about how copyright actually works? --DStoykov 12:36, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How about someone more experienced with deletion requests, deletions and copyright stuff on wikimedia than DStoykov saying who's write and who's wrong? If someone who's more competent says "delete it", then go ahead and do it. Because, no offence intended, you might be more competent than me but are by far not among the competent guys here. I'm still wondering where all those guys are, anyway... By the way, what you quoted is nice but I really can't find the part where it says something like "copyrighted works that are parts of bigger landscapes are considered to be in the public domain". --HSV25 15:54, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That would be me! And DStoykov is plenty clueful enough. Everything he has said so far is completely true. The real question here is if the uploader drew the work depicted, or if it is public domain for other reasons. If he didn't, and it isn't, then the photograph is a copyright violation. Cases like this are nowhere near the legal grey areas. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 16:27, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Finally, Lewis! No, I didn't draw it, if I did, the whole talk would have been useless. So, is it in the pd for other reasons? I don't really get the point why copyrighted works such as those stuff [49] Image:P7120012.JPG appear to be in the pd just by being "parts of a bigger landscape" as DStoykov previously stated. It turns out that there is no problem if I take a pic of the whole wall of fame, upload it here, then use it in the Marcelo Rios article, pointing out that Rios is "the 15th guy with the goatee on the bottom row" but it is not allowed to crop the image just in order to see the object of interest better?
Generally, the clever heads at the Bulgarian wikipedia decided that local fair use is no more allowed so all logos and other stuff will be gone. Is it or is it not allowed to crop for example the Mitsubishi logo from the second pic (logo is copyrighted but pic isn't and is uploaded in wikimedia) and use it for the Mitsubishi article? Because apparantly it is allowed to use the whole pic and to say that the Mitsubishi logo is "this little red thing that can be seen on the big billboard in the middle of the picture, on the right of the new Pajero" - something everyone would agree is kinda stupid... Almost as stupid as putting a link to the logo "Click here if you want to see the Mitsubishi logo"... So, what is your opinion? --HSV25 17:11, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The difference is incidental vs central inclusion. In this case, it's quite clear that the drawing is not merely incidentally included in your photo, as a logo on a car would be. Again, this is not a legal grey area at all and not something a court would even need to think about. By the way, a photograph of the whole wall of fame would be a derivative work as well. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 17:40, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, delete it then. --HSV25 20:50, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Used on several Wikipedias but still a blatant copyright violation. Permission is from the producer/owner of the photograph, but the book cover is copyright by Meccano Limited. It even says it on the bottom right corner. This is a derivative work with no permission from the copyright holder of the original work. It should be returned to the English Wikipedia as a fair use image if that seems reasonable. Apart from that it should be deleted. --Simonxag 19:25, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Meccano Ltd didn't totally fold. They were bought up by a succession of companies.

FDF press release photos

[edit]

The following images is a press release photo from the Finnish Defence Forces website. It is not a "part of a decision or a statement by an authority or a public body of Finland." Thus it cannot be used with template {{PD-FinlandGov}} and should be deleted. A relevant discussion was made when deprecating {{FinnishDefenceForces}}.

This deletion request covers

--MPorciusCato 07:30, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, the category "official statement" is rather narrowly defined. For example, we have held before that a speech made by the Finnish president on the radio, announcing the start of a war, is not an "official statement" but just an informational release. According to the decision KKO:56:2000 by the Supreme Court of Finland, only such documents are in public domain which relate to use of public authority (julkisen vallan käyttöön). Then, the question is whether issuing press releases is use of public authority. In fact, you can make a case for this. According to the § 20 of the Act on the openness of the actions of public authorities (Laki viranomaisten toiminnan julkisuudesta 621/1999), it is the duty of the authorities to produce informational guides, booklets, statistics and other publications. However, usually, the category is interpreted more narrowly. --MPorciusCato 06:14, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I concur with MPorciusCato. According to Finnish law a "official statement" is something a governmental body or person holding a governmental office issues based on it's authority. Examples of these are, for example, laws and acts, minutes of different councils etc. A press statement is not an "official statement".--Joonasl 06:23, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I concur, too. Samulili 08:38, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is what the FDF website says regarding copyright in English (I did not alter it in any way): Material featured on this site is subject to the Finnish Defence Forces copyright protection unless otherwise indicated. The Finnish Defence Forces copyright protected material may be reproduced free of charge but the source of the material must be identified and the copyright status acknowledged. Finnish speaking Wikipedians could introduce a Finnish Defence Forces PD according to the FDF copyright message. I presume the FDF translated their original Finnish copyright message correctly into English. In my view this FDF text does qualify for the {attribution} tag. For good measure an additional notice containing the original FDF copyright text can be attached.--Francis Flinch 12:17, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This issue was discussed at Commons:Deletion requests/Template:FinnishDefenceForces at some length. I actually concur with you, but the template {{FinnishDefenceForces}} was deprecated. If we decide to keep these photos, then I suggest undeleting the template and the ca. 600 photos that were deleted when the template was deprecated. --MPorciusCato 16:25, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If the copyright template is not exactly correct one, that is not a reason to delete the pictures. Only the copyright message should be changed. The pictures should be undeleted. Deleting all these pictures has caused lots of damage to Wikipedia, and enormous amount of work done by many volunteers have been thrown to toilet. It seems that the problem is that the pictures were uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. From now on, I strongly suggest that nobody uploads anything to Commons, it only causes problems. --PauliKL (talk) 22:54, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That discussion at Commons:Deletion requests/Template:FinnishDefenceForces does not strike me as a discussion amongst lawyers, let alone Finnish legal professionals who probably are the most qualified people for a exegesis including the relevant conclusive arguments regarding current Finnish law. I will solve it by marking the few images I uploaded with a standard attribution tag and an additional notice containing the original FDF copyright notice.--Francis Flinch 18:06, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio. Photos like this are usually taken by professional photographers who are in connection with the army. If the uploader appears in the picture as he states, then he is probably not the copyright holder. Geraki TLG 07:39, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, look. it's Geraki all over again. Dude, seriously, what's wrong with you? I know you're a conscription in Greece advocate, but I didn't know you are trying to "uphold the image" of the Greek Army/airforce. I AM the copyright holder. I *paid* for that pic. So, it belongs to *ME*. wtf? Project2501a 16:20, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  3. The question is about THIS picture:
    • You say that you are the copyright holder because you paid for that pic. I am sorry but that's the case with most of your platoon comrades pictured here, are they the copyright holders too?
    • According to copyright law (Ν. 2121/93) the copyright holder is still the photographer even if you paid for getting a copy (on the same way that you don't own copyright of a magazine when you buy a copy). Geraki TLG 16:43, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The uploader, Kejsardöme, has uploaded also Image:Räfsttabell.jpg with faulty authorship information. He may be doing this in good faith, not understanding that uploader of the file is not the author. So, I do not think he is Espen Andresen. Thus he cannot licence the file with GFDL. I'd like to put this file under government work licence, but I'm afraid that the original work is not a "statement or decision" by a Swedish authority.

Keep It has superseded, but from what I gather that isn't a reason for deletion. The image quality isn't so poor that it warrants deletion yet. I'm not nuts about this one, so this is a weak keep. This deletion request was initially missing a reason on image talk page, and uploaders were not notified, I've completed those two. Finally California only recently became incorrect and that is only tentative, as the many opponents rush to block it, and it is not legal until 30 days after the court decision. -Optigan13 06:18, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why should this image be in the PD? The author is unknown, so we also can´t know when he died. But an image can only be in the PD, if the author has died more than 70 years ago. So "Public Domain because of age" is impossible. --Chaddy 13:46, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

{{Anonymous-EU}} should only be used if the author really remained anonymous, not in cases where we just don't know the author. Is there any proof that the author's name was never known by anyone, even the publisher? In which books, databases, collections did you try to find the author? --Kam Solusar 22:05, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Postcards authors very often are anonymous or pseudoanonymous. Anonymous is a person, whom nobody knows now, even if somebody knew him time ago. Proofs... where we are, in a court? investigation? Do you have any proof I am who I am? Maybe I am longhair blondi from Paraguay? or from Yakutsia? Read avoid copyright paranoia... Julo 23:19, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think every image on Commons should have information as to why we think that the stated license tag applies (=the reason why we can use it). So to be able to use this image, we should have some information as to why we think the author is anonymous. There are so many copyvios and images with dubious licenses uploaded every day on this project - most users just want to use an image on their article and only care how they can get it there, but don't care about copyrights. And many people don't know the difference between anonymous works and old works where there's just no mention of the author on the webpage they copied it from. So we need something to verify the stated licenses. See Image:Baby-hitler.jpg for example, which was tagged as anonymous. A short Google search later, the author's not anonymous anymore. So if someone uploads or tags an image, claiming that it's an anonymous work, he should provide some information why he thinks so. This is not copyright paranoia, it's about Commons being a repository of free image, not just of stuff we can get away with... --Kam Solusar 21:17, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image is tagged as {{Anonymous-EU}}. However this site shows the full image, with the name "J. F. Klinger" on it. And en:Wislawa Szymborska's poem "Hitler's first photograph" mentions a "Klinger Atelier, Grabenstrasse, Braunau". This site lists a photographer named Josef Franz Klinger who lived in Braunau. It seems to indicate that Klinger already lived as early as 1827, which probably means that the image is in the public domain due to age. But it would be nice to have a reliable source of his date of death to change the {{Anonymous-EU}} tag to {{PD-old}}. -- Kam Solusar 22:20, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Ah, as if it matters. I do think it's great that you're willing to put such thought into such trivial things, but really, what's the point in threatening a rare photo of a major historic figure with deletion? Who d'you think you're going to benefit? You're missing something - that same fascination you felt when you looked into the subject is the exact same fasciation that I felt when I saw the picture of babyhitler. Why threaten to rob me, and everyone else, of that? It's this sort of deletist behavior that spoils the wikipedia.

This is not about what or who is on the photo, it's only about its copyright status. Commons is a repository of free media, so if the image is not in the public domain it has to go, no matter how fascinating the photo might be for some people. --Kam Solusar (talk) 17:16, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Klinger had his own shop in 1827, thus it's certain that he died early enough. There is absolutely no reason for a deletion request. --88.77.106.145 20:49, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • „1827“ is not the beginning of Mr. Klinger’s work period, it’s a unique signature for this photographer in the cited database.

Well, it is not good rely on the precedent of one wrong decision to make another. The requirement for consent in such cases is clear from Commons:Photographs of identifiable people, and we have no evidence at all that she consented either to the publication under cc-by-sa-2.0 or to the uploading here or to Flikr. --MichaelMaggs 06:13, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Do you really think she didn't gave her consent? On her Flickr profile, there's this link (caution, porn and erotic content). So? Isn't it possible sometimes to assume good faith about the consent? It's actually because of an equivalent reason that we kept Klashorst's pictures even if some look private: because he's a known artist/photographer so we assumed that he asked consent from his models. Well, since there's a website of this lady, I think we may assume that she gave consent.

It has nothing to do with her age; quit raising this red herring. As Rama put it, "the photograph is technically naive and crude [and] the model assumes a vulgar position akin to pornographic clichés [...] I see very well why we would distinguish between the numerous nudes we have in store and this one." With that said, if Mutter Erde wants to keep this around so badly (and the crusade he's gone on to keep this is quite startling; one can only presume he needs a little "happy time" every now and then and Commons is the only site with "MILF" pictures that gets past parental filtering ;)), then  Keep it.

Thank you. Our western world gets elder and elder and on the other hand the male part is more and more bored by these young chicks with and without their fake tits.

  •  Delete per comments in the previous deletion request. Despite assertions at the undeletion request, this is a matter of scope. Commons is here to host images that may be useful for some project. Both pornographic and anatomical aspects have representation in alternative, technically superior (composition, lighting, etc) images. There is no reasonably expected present or future use. The issue of personality rights is also a concern. We should not be assuming or speculating on the model’s permission. The quality of this image is decidedly unprofessional and AGF, by definition, does not apply and is not extended outside of Wiki. What has happened with past images up for deletion is irrelevant; we’re reviewing/discussing this image against policies/guidelines; it needs to stand or fall on its own merit, or lack thereof.

  •  Keep Lets be absolutely clear: nudity is no reason to delete from the Commons. We have to obey US criminal law, but that doesn't seem at all relevant here. However we have our own rule that a photo of a person in a private situation (especially if intimate or embarrassing) must be consented to by that person. We are accepting photos by recognized artists like Klashorst because these are posed with models, not private shots. I would have voted to delete this picture but [52] (found by following the link to Flickr) shows that it is no private moment but this woman's hobby. --Simonxag 13:15, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • There's no impetus on me to provide anything; I trust you know how categories work. Scope requires images be useful for a project; what article in what project would you expect this to be useful now or in the future? MILF has been suggested, but no consideration appears to have been given to the fact that, although Wiki is not censored, projects generally do not use images which are more explicit than absolutely necessary. As I said above, go ahead and add this image to a MILF article and see whether it sticks. ЭLСОВВОLД talk 15:41, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can understand your wievpoint but I want to say that commons have a lot of images that seemingly don't have any utility, but maybe can help to complement the main information of an specific article.I'm propposed ,in the other DR,a new category for old womens.So,I believe that it can be a commons's objective too.

There seems to be a little misunderstanding of the function of commons. Commons is not only a repository for around 750 wikipedia projects, but especially a gallery for print houses. Otherwise this policy would make no sense: "Generally speaking, image quality and resolution should be as high as possible so images can be used in high-quality printouts, for example" (Source: Commons:First_steps/Quality_and_description#Images) Mutter Erde 22:02, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delete: The government of Canada, and its provincial counterparts, have "crown copyright" on all their works unless otherwise stated. Crown Copyright is basically "non-commercial use when attributed to author". A New Brunswick employee told me, although I still don't see it as true that:

I would say that in general, any images available on our website or directly from most government sources are Crown Copyright and not free use as you would require it to be. However, since the image of the NB sample plate is freely available through different licence plate collector sites, I am trying to determine if an image of a sample plate would be considered fully public domain, which I could then share with you and your foundation. As I indicated before, you should be able to obtain an existing NB sample plate image from a number of collector sites and other sources on the Internet as an alternative. ~Craig Chouinard, Feb. 15, 2007(

It is in fact a derrivative work of a crown copyrighted work. Especially as it looks like it could be an official work from the gouvernment, I believe it's violating copyright law and Wikimedia policy. Cavenbatalk to me 03:03, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the same story for a ton of uploads by User:SAM-123.

Besides, the average resolution of many of these is so low that they've very likely been taken from somewhere on the net, rather than imagining that the same person should be the owner of a ton of "blank" license plates all in pristine quality. Somebody needs to go through Sam's upload log. 83.89.43.14 21:07, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Spain does not allow PD-Art and this image comes from a Madrid Museum Lokal_Profil 20:31, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with that. Yes, Commons says that PD-Art does not apply for Spain, but that is not correct. What the law actually says about "mere photographies" is that they are protected for 25 years if they do not fit the category of protected works detailed in book 1. Going backwards, book 1 mentions such works wich are protected, wich are the usual: music pieces, movies, books... and, of course, paintings like the one portraited here. Wich is currently free, but not because of being ineligible for copyright, but because t's copyright has expired.
In clear terms, what the law says is that if I took a photo of an object wich is ineligible for copyright, such as a bird or a tree in the forest, it wold be granted copyright for 25 years. A painting is not such case, and a photo that adds no original work is ot enough to generate new copyright Thialfi 01:53, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Permission

[edit]

As I am the webmaster of the image source website, Jade Online, I would like to inform that this image has been granted from the copyright holder, Jade Kwan, to be freely published in Wikipedia. Vincentkhm 17 May 2008

That is not sufficient to be uploaded to Commons, or, for that matter, to be used on Wikipedia. It must be released under a free license. Stifle 13:14, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete I'm concerned about the assertion that Jade Kwan has released the copyright. The photographer, not Jade Kwan (the subject being photographed!), would be expected to be the copyright holder. Where is evidence that Kwan, and not the photographer, holds copyright? Where is evidence that Kwan released it as PD (I can't find that assertion on the Jade Online site)? Saying the photo may be "freely published in Wikipedia" is not the same a releasing to PD; can anyone else use the image? Are derivatives and commercial usage allowed?

Questionable PD assertion. Image claims PD as work of U.S. federal government; the only reference to a federal entity, however, is to the Library of Congress. Hosting by LoC does not mean the photo was authored thereby; indeed, it does not appear reasonable to expect an LoC employee took this image in the course of their duties, which would need to be the case to satisfy the PD-Gov claim. LoC serves an archival role and hosts numerous images still under copyright (e.g. w:Image:Old CBOT.jpg, w:Image:Rush Street Bridge traffic.jpg, etc.) Source links only to image itself, not a page on which it is used containing author, licensing, or other information necessary to validate the claim. No author information is provided and, as image is dated 1936, it was not published before 1.1.1923. --ЭLСОВВОLД talk 20:51, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Old rongorongo photos

not 2D objects, 1935 photos Mangostar 14:18, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

These are 1935 reproduction of even older photos. (c) is expired; I changed the tag. Kwamikagami 07:15, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
When and where were they first published? Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 11:02, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's not a question that's possible to answer. Kwamikagami 06:04, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There is no indication in Chauvet of when the images were taken or if they had been previously published, though it would appear that they had been. None of them were by him. A few are attributed to museums, but there is no copyright information. Thus they would appear to be anonymous, and in that case I believe copyright expires 70 yrs from publication in such cases. It is at least that long. Kwamikagami 08:11, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

not a 2D object, recent photo Mangostar 14:22, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The object was destroyed during WWI in 1914, so all photos must predate that. Hardly recent. Changed the tag. Kwamikagami 07:20, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Was this really first published in the US, though? Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 11:02, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A very old photo. Changed the tag. Kwamikagami 22:54, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How old? Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 11:02, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Undated, approximately contemporaneous with the above. Certainly within the date range of the (c) tag. Kwamikagami 06:04, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hanini.org, a personal website, appears to play "fast and loose" with copyright, and likely does not have the authority to license what appear to be news agency photos. I have tagged one egregious violation, a very famous AP wire photo, as a speedy candidate already. Note that the old 1948 images have not been tagged, because the term of copyright in Israel is 50 years after creation. --Eleland 02:54, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Derivative work: The drawing clearly shows Coltrane as depicted on the cover of "en:A Love Supreme" (1964), photographer was en:Bob Thiele (1922-1996) Dr. Shaggeman 17:10, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yes. I used the photograph as a model. This drawing is a new product which in no way is accurate when compared to the photograph. What about Andy Warholl? --Jisis 19:49, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, at least it is good enough to be identify and by that it is a reproduction of a copyrighted work which requires the permission of the copyright holder (maybe Impulse/Verve Music Group or Teresa Brewer). I am pretty sure it is not in the public domain. I am really sorry about that cause it is actually a nice drawing showing the essence of Thieles photography, which is maybe the best Coltrane photo ever, pretty well. Andy Warholl? -- ShaggeDoc talk? 20:50, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I was referring to Warhol's works which were copies basically, but still original. You say it's a reproduction, I disagree. But I am not really expert on these legal issues. Any comments by others? --Jisis 21:36, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
First, maybe Warhol had the permission (which I don't know), second, you are not Andy Warhol, third, Commons:Derivative work#What is a derivative work?: "A 'derivative work' is a work based upon one or more pre-existing works", which is exactly what you said above "I used the photograph as a model." And in case of this (actually any) photo we have no exemption like freedom of panorama and the threshold of originality is surely high enough to be protected and it is not in the public domain. -- ShaggeDoc talk? 22:27, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe you should also read Commons:Fan art. -- ShaggeDoc talk? 22:31, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Take it easy, Shaggy. I was mentioning Warhol as an example - I'm not pretending to be him nor any other brilliant artist. But you are probably right about the derivative work part, even though I still disagree that this would be a reproduction, just like photographs of statues are not called reproductions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jisis (talk • contribs) (UTC)
I might add, that any artist (I am not willing to include myself to them) is getting inspiration from copyrighted material, and with the same reason a massive amount of creative work should be deleted from Commons. What if I modify the picture a little, use a different angle etc... --Jisis 16:30, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What if I add an additional element to the picture. A saxophone? Will It do then? Where is the line?--Jisis 16:55, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Having thought about the issue, I say that this is derivative work on John Coltrane, not Thiele's photograph. Thiele's contribution on the composition, exposure etc. is not violated. --Jisis 21:10, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Kept. A face, a facial expression, a haircut (at least this one) etc. can't be copyrighted. The photograph and what was original and copyright-able in it has not been reproduced. Samulili (talk) 15:11, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

URV, copy from the cover album, see [61]. Request by Curtis Newton (see [62]) finished nomination process --Cecil (talk) 15:55, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete I can't follow the argument by Samulili above. That is clearly a derivative work, and that does not change just because it was minimalized. A drawing bases on a person is ok, but a drawing based on the fotography of a person is and always will be derivative, no matter how much personal artistic creativity the person who copys it put into it. And in a case like that where people still can recognize from were it was taken that easily means there was not much own creativity included. The composition, the face expression, the whole style of the image is still Thiele. -- Cecil (talk) 15:55, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I cannot follow you completely either. At first you say the amount of creativity put into the picture doesn't matter, but then you feel it's necessary to undermine the amount of creativity that was put into this drawing. There are paintings like this:[63]. People still recognize it's the Campbell's tomato soup can, but I hope nobody questions the originality of the painting. Anyway, I don't feel like highlighting the originality of the drawing. IMO, it's a caricature, which doesn't reproduce the subtle lighting in Thiele's photograph. The nice composition (lots of air on the left side) is absent here as well. What is left, is the face and the expression, which cannot be copyrighted. --Jisis (talk) 18:06, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. There is no question that this is a direct infringing copy of the photo. The shirt collar, jacket, exact profile, expression, hairline, are all identical. I made a copy of the drawing and overlaid it on the photo in Photoshop and the correspondence is pretty well exact. Of course the person cannot be copyrighted, but the photographic capture of this particular expression, from this particular angle, with those particular clothes, at that particular time, are copyright-protected and have been copied. The fact that one or two elements are different (eg amount of space on the left, background not used, etc) does not change that conclusion. MichaelMaggs (talk) 21:44, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's not verifiably public domain in the US; if it was published in 1933, it'll still be under copyright until 2028, as life+70 rules didn't kick in until 1978, and weren't retroactive.--Prosfilaes 03:07, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have sent me an "Incomplete deletion request". Why? Mutter Erde 08:09, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
He just forgot to state the reason he gave here in the {{Delete}} tag on the image page. In any case, this indeed looks like a clear case of {{Not-PD-US-URAA}} (copyrighted in the UK in 1996; Laszlo moved to England in 1907 and became a British citizen in 1914). Furthermore, the immediate image source www.jssgallery.org explicitly says "Copyright 1998-2005 Natasha Wallace, All rights reserved. Rights of images retained by original source" (emphasis mine) and claims to have taken the image from www.churchhouse.org The latter is a UK website, so the image also fails COM:ART#United Kingdom. Sadly,  Delete. Lupo 08:35, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm no lawywer, you are no lawyer. But I can assure you, that no court house in whole wide world would make one single thought, when they would get such a request. Regards Mutter Erde 08:49, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I see no reason why an American court would support Wikimedia here. Again, we fail to have sufficient publishing information to make the law clear, but if it was first published in 1933-1977 in a country with life+70 terms in 1996 and not published within 30 days in the US, then the w:Uruguay Round Agreements Act returned it to copyright in the US, with a duration equal to that of the publishing date + 95 years, like any American publication. Thus it would still be under copyright in the US. If it was first published after 1977, the rules change, and I don't know exactly how that affects us. IANAL, but if you are not a lawyer, I see no reason to take your assurances on how a US court would rule this.--Prosfilaes 15:35, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • First: Natasha Wallace is only a webmaster from the JSS Gallery (probably an US site), no copyright owner ....On the other hand the JSS Virtual Gallery is a loosely associated group of people "Contributing Members" who care enough to participate in helping me in this endeavor. [65]. You can see it, because Natasha normally doesn't know the size or the current location of Laszlo's paintings. "Thanks to Jimmy", "thanks to Sloan for this founding" etc. are her normal comments. This little girl is the future Queen , so I think, this painting was first published after the color has dried. Or do you know it better? Then tell us. And btw: Who might be the copyright holder of Laszlo's works since January 1, 2008? Regards Mutter Erde 12:51, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • The copyright holder in the US since January 1, 2008 is almost certainly the same copyright holder as in the US before January 1, 2008. That date didn't change a darn thing under US law.--Prosfilaes (talk) 05:42, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment As with all the other files you've nominated, if it was taken from the web, where?

 Keep this one. "Evidently taken" is nonsense without any evidence. At least a weblink would be great. This one is way too large for typical website resolution and the lack of Exif data means nothing. Some software don't keep Exif by default. --Herbert Ortner 15:20, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Well, maybe I shouldn't have used the word "evidently", however there are a number of pictures in the Esperanto Wikipedia "disputed copyright assertion" queue which Petr claimed GFDL or his own work, but they turned out to be scans, screenshots, and pictures he got off the web and then doctored. That makes me question the source of his assertion. When we were talking about the consequences of all of the copyrighted stuff in our Wikipedia, he then put a delete-template on his user and discussion page, and hasn't been seen since. I would be doubtful, but pleasantly surprised if Petro took the photograph himself. -- Yekrats 13:48, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ETA's logo is present in many places of Wikipedia (e.g. ETAlogo.jpg), apart from the articles related to the organisation. The copyright conditions in those pictures specify that it's possible to use it in such sizes. This means that this use is valid as well. Escorial82 17:34 25 May 2008 (UTC)

The logo is in English Wikipedia, but not in the other as it was deleted from commons for copyvio. As you can see in ETAlogo.jpg this image appears as copyrightes, so it can be used on English Wikipedia but not in others, and specially not in commons. -Theklan 00:11, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm dubious that the uploader has rights to it. It seems to be a stock photograph that I have found using Google Images.

Obviously not created by "one single user", perhaps a NASA image, which should be properly credited or deleted per USA Copyright laws. --CyclePat 18:44, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This image was created from this 2MASS public domain image [70] and then postprocessed using some software from me. So it should not be a problem for commons. Alain r 20:05, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Alain_r is a professional astrophysicist at the Paris Institute of Astrophysics. His job includes the creation of such images. There is obvious creative work involved, so he can copyright them, and then release them under a free license. So, this is a keep. David.Monniaux 20:08, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I see that is creative work and derivative work of an image from 2MASS Catalogs. 2Mass appears to be a collaboration project between The Infrared Processing and Analysis Center/Caltech & the University of massachusetts. Their website alleged that funding is provided from NASA and the NSF. However I fail to see anything that states that this image was taken during a NASA project or government project. And even if it was, the current copyright status should clearly reflect this "NASA PROJECT". Unfortunatelly, Alain_r, as you indicated, is not, to my current knowlege an employee of NASA, therefore I believe release this image for free under the NASA "clause" would not fonction. Argumentativelly, there may be nothing wrong with Alain_r release his image for "free" however, he appear to have utilize an image that may be copyrighted. I believe we should assume that the original image used to creat his derivative work was or is copyrighted and is not free. This is because there are no indications from "2Mass" that the original image was or was not released of its copyrights. This voids any derivative works. Therefore I ask that you please prove your case. Currently there I concede that the original image is hosted by "Caltech" at the aforementioned website you guys provide. I disagree that the image is release into the public domain. This is because WHOIS states: ( http://whois.domaintools.com/caltech.edu) That that website belongs to the “California Institute of Technology”. Our Wikipedia article indicates that this is a “Private” Institute.[71] The work of done by someone for the institute (specially while they are beeing paid for it) (I know in Canada and most likely the US) constitutes grounds for that creative work, including the copyrights, (in this case an image most likely taken with a powerful telescope belonging to NASA or Caltech, perhaps even the Hubble Telescope, should remain the property of the institute unless explicitly stated within the contract). However the article does go on to say that they collaborate with NASA. (no references are provided for these statements in our Wikipedia article). If you can prove that this image was taken during the course of a USA NASA funded project then it is most likely that the image may be free. Nevertheless and finally, the main website for Caltech claims copyright status on it’s content.[72] I therefore claim that this image is copyrighted and should be deleted unless strictly proven otherwise. --CyclePat 21:30, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No one said it was a NASA image. 2MASS images are public domain - see {{2MASS}} and [73] (last paragraph). Of course, Alain_r ought to provide a citation of the original source on the image description. --dave pape 16:38, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment As nsd tagger, I can explain the reason: the source of the given image is not provided (probably a website, but which one?). Without source it is not possible to ensure the legality of the PD-Art claim: this image could come from England or any other country where PD-Art is not authorized.

I don't think so. They can say what they want - but that must not be correct. There are al lot of sites who use false "Copyrights" (in Germany a thing like "Copyright" don's exist for example). A 2-dimensional Image of a work made by an artist who is dead since more than 70 years is PD-old. That's the philosophy of Wikimedia. Marcus Cyron 10:07, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Things are not that easy: first, the law depends on the country (see Commons:When_to_use_the_PD-Art_tag#Country-specific_rules), but a photo of a 2D artwork in the DP could perfectly be prohibited for reproduction (England or Nordic countries for instance; Australia law is unknown). Then, Commons is based on the respect of explicit rules, and the claim of the National Gallery of Victoria is explicit. So unless someone can prove that Australia has a kind of Bridgeman thing or Germany-like law (so that the claim of the NGV can be overridden), I consider this image to be deleted. Bibi Saint-Pol (sprechen) 18:12, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This image can be found in many places. (Search with Google: [74]) I have updated the provenance of the image to address the "no source" reason for deletion. The copyright asserted by one individual source is not relevant if there are multiple sources for art that is clearly PD due to age. I would hate to see this magnificent painting by a significant artist deleted. - Epousesquecido 15:43, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding the source.
But the question remains the same: does Australia law admit something like PD-Art? As nobody seems able to answer, I don't know what is Commons use: opt-in (if we don't know it's yes, so keep the photo) or opt-out (if we don't know it's no, so delete it). Bibi Saint-Pol (sprechen) 14:32, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Use the search E gave to find a source that isn't governed by Australian law, then... let's not get carried away here, people. The search shows dozens of sources for this image, and it's way old enough to be covered under US law. This is a clear keep once the documentation is straightened out. ++Lar: t/c 16:29, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious copyright. This has been discussed before. Florida Photographic Collection claims that these images have a free copyright, but they did not take the pictures themself. They are assigning copyright for images that they did not take themself. There is no evidence that photographers signed a release. Royalbroil 12:32, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By "dubious copyright", I assume this to mean that you accept that terms of the Florida licence as being acceptable for free use on Wikimedia, but that you question their bona fides in being able to grant it.
On that basis, we would have to delete most of wikicommons! Wikimedia has almost no proof of anything in terms of verifying whether licences apparently granted by third parties are genuine, to this new level of proof requirement. Now as I understand Wikimedia's policy here (please correct me if there's a suitable reference) we are not required to prove each of these in turn, but we accept the word of reputable sources claiming that licences apply. I consider the Florida State Archives to be such a reputable source. Wikimedia's contributors are required to act reasonably and to apply policies carefully, but we're not required to investigate beyond this. Is there any evidence to suggest that the Florida archive's claims are not justified?
Andy Dingley 13:12, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The disclaimer on the website says "Some of the images may be protected by copyright. Persons accessing these images assume full responsibility for their use and understand and agree that the State Library and Archives of Florida is not responsible or liable for any claim, loss, or damage arising from the use of these images."[75] They are admitting that they don't own the copyright to all of the images. Royalbroil 13:25, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
They're not admitting that, this is just a boilerplate disclaimer. When contacted they confirmed that they're not aware of any copyright issues, but the disclaimer is there because disclaimers breed and are hard to avoid in such organisations. Of course there may be copyright issues with anything (and on wikimedia too), that's why we have policies on how to respond if such issues are identified or raised in the future. There's no reason to react to a potential issue that hasn't happened.
As to the second point, then Wikimedia already accepts responsibility for Wikimedia's potential mis-use (it can't very well do otherwise) and part of that is to have reasonable and robust procedures for take-down of anything infringing. This is our defence against any hypothetical future copyright issue, not blaming their source. Andy Dingley 13:41, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(deindent) Please review Commons:Licensing. "The Wikimedia Commons accepts only media

  • that are explicitly freely licensed, or
  • that are in the public domain in at least the United States and in the source country of the work". This image is not explicitly freely license - it is implicitly at the most. It is not public domain in the U.S. Royalbroil 20:54, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
PD isn't the issue here, nor is Wikimedia policy. No-one is disputing those, the question is solely about the interpretation of "the Florida licence" and whether it's a free licence or not. Now a licence that clearly states:
"Any use or reproduction of material deposited with the Florida Photographic Collection shall be allowed pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1)(b) and subsection (4), provided that appropriate credit for its use is given."
is to my mind trying very hard to be a free licence, as we understand the term in the Wikimedia context, and is compliant with the constraints expressed by {{CC-by-sa}}.
So what's the stumbling block? Are we agreed that it's solely owing to their disclaimer and the phrases "Some of the images may be protected by copyright." and "Persons accessing these images assume full responsibility for their use and understand and agree that the State Library and Archives of Florida is not responsible or liable for any claim, loss, or damage arising from the use of these images." ?
Now I'm assuming that they're all protected by copyright, and that their copyright is subject to "the terms of the donation agreement under which the Archives acquired the images.", which as stated above is compatible with our need for a free licence. These two are not exclusive. For a donation to a government-funded archive, it's pretty much what I'd expect their licensing to require. Government funding of archives, particularly in the USA, isn't generally too keen on being a no-cost escrow service for a commercial photographer who wants to retain the exploitation rights.
Andy Dingley 21:49, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You don't know FPC's donation agreement and more than I do, so how can you know that the photographer has donated them under a free license? The FPC doesn't reveal their donation criteria (with respect to a free license). Would you try to find it out from them? How can you assign a Creative Commons type of a free license when there are other types of free licenses? Royalbroil 03:34, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know the terms of their donation agreement, but equally I have no reason to disbelieve the statement they do make, "Any use or reproduction of material deposited with the Florida Photographic Collection shall be allowed pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1)(b) and subsection (4), provided that appropriate credit for its use is given." Unusually for this thread, when a government archive tells me that I'm permitted to use their content I see no problem in doing so, and I'm happy to believe that they've acted correctly on their part such that they're in a position to do so.
No one (post-the Florida archive themselves) is "assigning a free licence to this content", merely pointing out that Wikimedia's definition of "free" is based on CC-by-sa (used to be GFDL, but there was a policy shift) and that the Florida licence is in accord with the requirements of this. Andy Dingley 09:53, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The terms of the donation agreement is the key to deciding the outcome to this discussion. You need to prove to everyone's satisifaction that the agreement allows free use, plus what definition of free use (CC, GDFL, PD, etc.). I hope that other people come across this discussion and give their opinion. Royalbroil 15:36, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Mmm, what? "Wikimedia's definition of "free" is based on CC-by-sa (used to be GFDL, but there was a policy shift)"? I'm not sure where you get that from. Our definition of free is based on simple principles (freely re-usable by anyone for any purpose, with or without modifications), not on any one license in particular. Just clarifying. Lewis Collard!

 Delete I'm fixing a nomination for another user, who made a dubious claim of being the model. I'll ignore what User:Ribi said[78]. I personally support deletion as there's no evidence that the model consented to publication on the internet. This is obviously not a nudist walking down the street. It's taken in private, so consent of the model is essential. Also, there's a possibility the model is under age, but the image is obviously designed to be sexually suggestive. --Rob 06:24, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your "under age" sentence is a joke, or? :-) Mutter Erde 06:42, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
By under age, I mean *may* be under 18 years old. Obviously she's phsyically an adult woman. Generally laws are based on age, not puberty. I understood that, in the U.S., publishers of erotic and/or pornographic material are supposed to keep records of the age of their models. This obligation exists, even for models over 18. --Rob 06:46, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I was a little astonished, that this classic vandal named Ribi has got his own show here yesterday. First he vandalized Dutch models, than he was male, than female. First he was an advocate of a friend, later of poor African prostitutes, later of poor African women in general and so on ... Even if I would accept his last role: Is anyone here, who really believes, that a wellknown artist as Klashorst spares the 5 dollars extra to get an permission from the model, that allows him to publish his photos wherever he wants? Mutter Erde 07:32, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm not supporting or defending anything user "Ribi" did. I don't care if he's blocked. But that's beside the point. If you have evidence that a model release was obtained (from a 18+ year old) please let me know. We don't go by reputation, without evdience. We demand sources for licensing information, so why not for a model release, if it's absolutely required. Peter Klashorst has to worry about the laws of the Netherlands or wherever he lives (I don't care). We have to worry about the laws of the United States. There is a fair bit of material that's tolerated in the Netherlands and some other countries, but not always in the U.S. Being a respected artist, doesn't make all of somebody's work exempt from the law. --Rob 08:22, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I guess that you would not be satisfied, when somebody would pixel her face, isn't it :-) And commons has this template for {{personality rights}} pics from reliable extern sources. And btw: this is a real natural woman from the continent, where human live began. She's beautiful. No superoxyded hair, no fake tits, no plastic surgery, no bleeched teeth - so nobody has to ask, how old she might be without that stuff from western "civilisation". Klashorst has made a nice picture of her. Congratulations and  Keep Mutter Erde 09:51, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is a forum to discuss if we can legally keep the image. Concepts of beauty are irrelevant.. --Rob 19:15, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep as long as we don't have a proof of what Ribi says. He's been vandalizing all Klashorst pages and treated him of being a pedophile and of abusing African women. See at the Village pump yesterday + the talk page of the Klashorst cat + Ribi's talk page. What Ribi says is never the same thing (once he says one of his friend is part of the models and now he says it's herself while I'd bet his a man!). Anyway, we don't have any model release for any picture on Commons so either we assume good faith for every picture or we delete them all any time there's somebody pictured. As for Klashorst's pictures, they come from his account on Flickr (even if they've now become private there) and we have to assume that such a recognized artist should be able to deliver such model release form. But again if we do make any effort to obtain that kind of form for his pictures there's no reason to behave differently with any other picture depicting a person on Commons (and not only naked pictures). To finish with, we have to respect the presumption of innocence. Ribi claims Klashorst has made some crimes (pedophilia, abuse...) but we mustn't judge that ourselves. We're not a court. As long as nothing has been proved about what Ribi says and as long as Klashorst has not been convicted, we don't have any reason to delete his pictures. What's more, even if Ribi's right about one or some women depicted, it wouldn't mean all Klashorst's pictures are concerned (and Ribi's history shows that s/he tried to delete them all). --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 13:35, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • You successfully argued Ribi shouldn't be trusted. Unfortunately, that's not relevant to the issue of deletion. The need for a model's release is not a simply "all or nothing" thing. Often a model's release isn't needed. Also, it's only for sexually suggestive images, where the proof of age (18+) is important. Also, Klashorst's reputation is not relevant. Klashorst could have followed all laws that applied to him, but that doesn't mean all the images can be published by us in the U.S. --Rob 19:15, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      It's not porn so we don't have to keep any record. And there's no reason to believe this woman is underage. --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 08:47, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, who cares what type of person Klashorst is? Let people make judgments, that's up to them. (Making the judgment that judgments are wrong is hypocritical.) Even if Ribi is right, it doesn't affect anything. There's a difference between nudity and erotica. Records of consent and age are only required by law if the material is pornographic. We don't keep records and we never will. This is different from "publicity rights". Rocket000 03:55, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

mmh, because you don't want to trust your eyes or your biology teacher..... let's wait for Ribi and see, whether she wants to admit that she is under age. Mutter Erde 21:51, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't care what Ribi says, or does. S/he should have been blocked for defamation and disruption. That's beside the point. Anyway, you keep on confusing chronological age with physical development. There's no dispute the model in question appears to have gone through puberty, and is physically an adult woman. I'm not claiming this is kiddie porn. Rather, I'm saying, that looking at the image, it's apparent that it's sexually suggestive, and she may well be under 18 years of age. Apparently you can see information I can't. Please, do tell me, from your superior "biological" information, what exact age is she? Please tell my how you deduced this age. Personally, I've seen older looking people who were under 18, and younger looking people who were over 18. --Rob 22:47, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete I definitely consider this porn (especially by U.S. standards). There's a good chance she's over 18, but without records we can't be sure. This is why the law requires it. {{Personality rights}} is just something we use to help inform reusers of the subject's rights. It changes nothing and means nothing legally. I agree it's not a scope issue because it was created by a notable artist. And no, the argument that it's art doesn't make it any less pornographic. Porn can be art too. Rocket000 03:27, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Even with US standards, I don't see why it would be considered as porn. --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 08:48, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    It's porn because it's the explicit depiction of sexual subject matter. However, after looking into U.S. record keeping a little more, I don't think there's much issue with keeping (very) softcore material like this. There are many U.S.-based sites that have similar material that don't keep records (including some very well known sites). And since the artist is somewhat notable and it's obvious his sole purpose isn't to sexual excite, the art defense works here as well. Rocket000 09:38, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    It's not a depiction of sexual subject matter! How can you tell that self nipple-licking is sexual?!! It's erotic, not sexual. However, I agree with the rest of your answer. --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 08:04, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    w:Oral stimulation of nipples (found in w:Category:Sexual acts) states "Oral stimulation of nipples is a human sexual practice." and "Some females and even some males experience breast orgasm without other forms of sexual stimulation". It uses a crop of this image as an illustration. It just seems obvious the model is trying to appear as though she is sexually stimulating herself and the image is made to sexually arouse the viewer. I think it's important to distinguish this image from simple nudity. --Rob 05:56, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • It is my understanding that a model release has not been provided by Mr. Klashorst even though it has been asked for. Missing a model release is a serious problem in a picture that is this frank. "2257" may also be of concern. The image is still inside the system and can be undeleted if or when these two issues are resolved in one way or the other (eg. Mr. Klashorst or Foundation lawyers).

Unnecessary, MediaWiki already sorts alphabetically. Deletion request for all subcategories as wellCode·is·poetry 18:14, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SHOULD NOT BE DELETED - THERE IS NO COMPREHENSIVE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF PAINTERS. ALTHOUGH PAINTERS ARE LISTED ALPHABETICALLY ACCORDING TO COUNTRY, IT IS STILL VERY USEFUL TO HAVE A COMPRHENSIVE LIST IF YOU ARE JUST BROWSING AND DON"T KNOW THE EXACT SPELLING OF AN ARTISTS NAME OR HIS COUNTRY OF ORIGIN.

Delete This is totally redundant to the sorting already done by the software. – Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 19:25, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Basically it's not a question about any sorting features but rather where we apply it, e.g. painters by country, painters by country, painters by school, painters by era etc. and the category in question: painters by alphabet. OK we could go for the plain category painters as the main sorting criteria but these have sections for easier usage, because of letterwise sorting (less hitting the "next 200" button). There is no need to delete categories Painters-A, Painters-B etc. I would say. --Mattes 11:01, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. Sorting is done by the Mediawiki software, so this category and its subcategorys are redundant/unnecessary. If you want to find painters faster, than improve their categories by putting them in the ones per nationality/country, style/genre, period, ..., but not by something that is already done by default.

This link [79] credits "Photo: 5th U.S. Court of Appeals/AP" which doesn't make sense... since Mr. Luttig served on the 4th circuit.

This category has been deprecated for awhile now. It was originally created when ParserFunctions first debuted. It was for tracking their use in case some changes needed to be made. The extension has been stable for awhile now and this category is no longer needed. Even if we ever need to do some ParserFunction syntax updates en masse, this category wouldn't be useful. It's vastly incomplete and unmaintained. ParserFunctions are everywhere now because every time one of these templates gets subst'd the ParserFunction is added to the page, i.e. substitution outputs the function itself, not the result (unless multilevel substitution is used). It would be a simple task to do this anyway via searching a database dump. It's use has slowly be declining (same as on Meta) and since we're down to 63 members, I figured it's time to nominate it and wrap it up. Rocket000 01:39, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's a derivative work of (what I assume seeing that no authors/licenses are stated) freely licensed images.

This is kind of "Vanity category" or "PR category", established by one single person, User:Jwdietrich2, only to be used for his own pics. -- WeHaWoe 11:44, 22 May 2008 (UTC) --WeHaWoe 11:46, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When I recently made this deletion request, I was not aware that for some of "any-and-all" cameras similar categories do exist. Having been a photographer in an earlier life, I'm convinced that photographers take photographs, not Zeiss nor Zenit -- this is quite irrelevant. So, may the community decide on the usefulness oft even Category:Photographs by camera, I.am.already.out. Sorry. -- WeHaWoe 12:06, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Even if this category is currently used by one person, why should this be a justification for deleting it? A "vanity category" would be a category without content - which this category isn't. A PR category could be a kind of advertisement, in this case for a specific camera model. The Minox 35 GT is a historic camera type, whose production ended 17 years ago. Therefore, these labellings as "Vanity category" or "PR category" are not appropriate for this category. There is a large category Photographs by camera. What reason would we have then to keep it and its sub-categories like Photos taken with Fujifilm cameras or Photos taken with Zeiss? In my opinion, the camera related categories should be kept as they provide interesting additional information. I also prefer them over possible uploader-centered categories.
  • Keep The Minox 35 GT is a famous camera but not a newest digital, easy to upload its pictures, therefore I think it is very natural even if there are only one or few contributors. And, traditional film cameras cannot give an Exif data automatically therefore informations by contributors themself are very valuable perhaps. I can sympathize with WeHaWoe's opinion as a generalization, but it is not a matter should be discussed at the deletion request on this category, I think.--Morio 13:45, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
On "What reason would we have then to keep it and its sub-categories like Photos taken with Fujifilm cameras or Photos taken with Zeiss?"
THAT is (was) the VERY point -- my del.request was not REALLY about dispraising some single user, or some m+++ camera category, but rather about asking for the usefulness of that Category:Photographs by camera, which I did due to this "special occasion": I STILL do not see any reason to keep such, but it seems pretty clear that there is some majority who like to keep it, therefore: just do so. I just felt the urgent need to comment on that (with-or-without any chance to change anything). WeHaWoe 13:52, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It should come as no surprise that a category for images taken by a certain kind of camera will be filled with the images of someone that uses such a camera. That looks to me like stating the awfully obvious. And yes, "photographers take photographs, not Zeiss nor Zenit", but no photographer takes photographs without a camera, so the camera is still an important part of it. If we were consistent with "the camera is irrelevant" thinking, we'd also go and strip the EXIF data out of all our digital photographs.
    The question is: is this category (and any similar one) useful to anyone? I think the answer is self-evidently yes!, for film cameras at least (as Morio points out). Just as people might be looking for, say, images made in Inkscape to find out if Inkscape is for them or not, they might be curious as to what photographs from a certain kind of camera look like. I know I've poked around in its grandparent category a few times, just out of curiosity. If it's useful to just a few people, and it isn't hurting anyone being there, then there's every reason to keep it. (Full disclosure: I've created two such categories for my Vito B and my Praktica MTL3. I don't know if anyone else will start using them.) Lewis Collard!

  4.

Derivative of a copyrighted poster. Kelly 16:15, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 CommentThis image was cropped from other commons's image.Is only a fragment of this Image:Sasha_Grey_photo.jpgVicond 22:29, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. It's Ok to have copyrighted artwork in a picture if it's incidental to the picture. If you then crop the picture to make this artwork the subject, you can no longer claim the defense. --Simonxag 23:48, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Ok but,only one thing.This is not an artwork is only a detail of one picture.My first idea was to make something like this:

here Image:Budapestbun2.jpg from here Image:Budapest girl.jpg.I can't underestand why in this case I can't do the same.By the way I've not any particular problem with it.If you believe that your decision is better, delete them. Vicond 02:17, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as copyvio. The reason why this is and Image:Sasha_Grey_photo.jpg isn't is because the original image just happens to include the poster - where as this "features" the poster. Example: a photo of someone wearing a t-shirt with a copyright logo is a derivative work and legal, but a picture of just the logo is copyvio. --ShakataGaNai Talk 03:49, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok.I will try to make the necklace's description using the hole imageVicond 14:01, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Question: I am also confused about why this is a problem. The Image:Sasha_Grey_photo.jpg has the attribute 2.5 license which states "You are free:" ... "to Remix — to adapt the work". But User:ShakataGaNai claims (and I assume both Kelly and Simonxag agree) that this adaptation (Image:Curious_Necklace.jpg) is not free. How then can the original image be "free"? I know copyright is a jungle, but I had thought a free image that is "free to adapt" is exactly that. Isn't that the purpose of Commons, for example see Commons:Reusing content outside Wikimedia? Should the original have the copyrighted parts removed? Please could someone else clarify this as it would seem to affect many images? Thanks. -Wikibob 09:46, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I now believe the original should not be on Commons, either, because "Works which contain other copyrighted works (derivative works) - these are not permitted, so don't upload them!" That is quoted from Commons:Upload (click on entirely my own work) which I assume should also apply to Flickr images. My completely amateur opinion is these images are maybe suited for Fair use on the english wikipedia but not Commons, but I'll wait to hear what others say. -Wikibob 10:00, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please read Commons:Derivative works. You'll see that the original picture is OK, but that the cropped version is not. --Simonxag 12:39, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Keep The cover text is largely pd-ineligible...it consists of the title (not copyrightable), a white background, the name of the publisher and number sold, etc. It is not an artistic work, and I doubt it rises to the level of artistic intent that copyright law is meant to preserve...aka the threshold of originality. -Nard 23:30, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep This is not a derivative work, it is more intended to illustrate articles on book burning and censorship.
  •  Delete What does the burning of a book preparing for SAT have to do with censorship? While it can certainly be funny to burn school books. the image is irrelevant in the article.
  •  Delete I concur. If anything, I think that the nature of the book detracts from the article. After all, who would not want to burn an SAT book? It has nothing to do with censorship; instead, it is a right of passage to burn your SAT prep books after taking the exam.

Although these were supposedly released under the GFDL, the photographer is claiming in OTRS ticket #2008052310019431 that he never really agreed to the terms of the GFDL. Looking at the original OTRS ticket (#2007030310026109), User:Adambro asks for a GFDL release and the photographer replies, "Yes, that would be fine with appropriate credit/link." To my reading, this is not the same as, "Yes, I agree to the terms of the GFDL for these images." So it appears he misunderstood the original request email. As the photos are not truly free, they should be deleted here. howcheng {chat} 17:17, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I've read the emails regarding this. I find no blame in either Adambro or Jkelly, the person who approved the permissions, but I can clearly see where the copyright holder did not "know what he was signing" so to speak. I believe this is an honest case of misunderstanding and we should remove the images. Bastique demandez 17:27, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Unfortunately it looks like these will have to go as I have to agree that the original permission wasn't watertight. I should have clarified this, Jkelly should have requested me do so, and of course the photographer should have made sure they understood and contacted me if they had any queries so we all made mistakes here. My appreciation of the issues involved in getting solid permissions is growing all the time and hopefully my later requests are better but I'll look to clarify any which aren't.

This image has not been properly tagged and is POV. -- Aivazovsky 21:14, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The image was properly tagged {{PD-self}} before someone removed it with a bad deletion request. It looks like that user found a copy on answers.com and thought this was a copyvio, however answers.com regularly copies large amounts of content from wikipedia, including images, so in fact the copying went the other way. The original image description had a little bit of descriptive info that was also removed with the deletion request. Restore the original license tag and info, and  Keep. It could use a much better description and categories to be sure... it looks like nl-wiki uses this image on a couple pages, maybe that text would help.

Azerbaijan has a restrictive (non-comercial only) freedom of panorama hence these image is violating copyrights. VartanM 02:47, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The copyright law of Azerbaijan says:
Article 20. Use of Works Permanently Located in a Public Place
The reproduction, broadcasting or communication to the public by cable of architectural works, photographic works and works of fine art permanently located in a public place shall be permissible without the author's consent and without payment of remuneration, except where the presentation of the work constitutes the main feature of the said reproduction, broadcast or communication to the public by cable, if it is used for commercial purposes[84].

It seems this image does not go against Azerbaijan copyright law, as it is not the main feature of any reproduction, and is/will be used for illustrative purposes. However on the other hand, I wouldn't vote keep on this particular image, I'd like to see the original uploaded, without the "special" effects. Furthermore, is 209 × 344 really the highest resolution that you can upload, I would be suspicious of claims to ownership of the image in this case. - FrancisTyers 08:55, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No freedom of panorama: "17 USC 120 applies only to architectural works, not to other works of visual art, such as statues or sculptures"

Should me moved to local Wikipedia on fair use.

--A.J. 10:26, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak oppose: This is a panorama in a fairly weak sense. The photograph shows the entire sculpture so necessarily includes its surroundings. However, the surroundings are bereft of any other structures or details. It is difficult to imagine how this sculpture could be photographed without including such surroundings (detailed photographs of parts of the sculpture include more or less the same surroundings). However, I'm not au fait with the "17 USC 120" cited above (could this be linked to?), so am only weakly opposing this. --Plumbago 09:59, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment (general): As the creator of this image, I'd just like to point out that the image was on a local Wikipedia before someone (not me) moved it here. It has now, of course, been deleted from said local Wikipedia because of its apparently unnecessary duplication here. I'm not a frequent user of the Commons (I only came here because my files were being deleted from the English Wikipedia because of their inclusion here), but my experience so far is that the Commons can have something of a disruptive influence on local Wikipedias. Files appear to be frequently copied here with poor attribution and details, which may then be lost when the original file is deleted from its local Wikipedia. And if the file is tagged for deletion (as here), it then has to be copied back to where it came from with the possibility of further information loss ("loss" in that special Wikipedia sense; I know the information probably still exists somewhere). Anyway, my apologies for ranting, but I'm getting a bit fed-up of my images winding up over here when it's done badly. Cheers, --Plumbago 09:59, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another Peter Klashorst of an identifiable woman with no consent lodged at OTRS MichaelMaggs (talk) 10:40, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's not bad faith. We both know the user and we know his intentions are good whether we agree or not. Art is not exempt from violating personality rights. Rocket000 (talk) 12:24, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think this is a good faith nomination. However some of the claims against Klashorst seem to have come from another user who was asked repeatedly to verify them. They did not, but rather made death threats, of a kind which, if taken seriously, would have implied they were an active terrorist. Part of the problem is that Klashorst produces what look at first like tasteful nudes but which are rather disturbing. --Simonxag (talk) 13:00, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep we've had this debate so many times. Klashost is a recognized artist. His pictures are of posed models, not people in private situations and are used in a number of places on the Wikipedia. --Simonxag (talk) 12:38, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete Unfortunately, someone has decided to split the Klashorst deletion requests into several, separate deletion requests, which means the discussion has ended up all over the place. I think all the arguments in favour of deletion have been done to the death. Policy requires deletion. I will, however, copy-paste this refutation of every possible argument for keeping these (for all those reading this for the sixth time, sorry to spam every DR with the same crap, but that's pretty much what the keepers are doing, and doing this saves me time over refuting each argument individually). Enjoy the copypasta:
    1. Peter Klashorst is a prolific publisher of nude photos: So was R@ygold and the swirl face guy, and we're not about to start hosting their picture collection. That someone has a huge collection of such pictures on his Flickr account means nothing at all. This would only be valid in the case of, say, the Suicide Girls -- a business that we can count upon to get the requisite documentation before publishing (and as a side-note, hire photographers with talent, as well, something Klashorst should consider).
    2. Peter Klashorst is an artist: He's a painter, and possibly one that nobody would give a damn about if he hadn't got arrested for some rather unsavoury activity in Senegal some time ago. However good he is at painting, he is an amateur photographer. Or to put it less delicately, he's a not-quite-half-talented hack and it shows; even if he had an Uzi to his head I doubt that he'd be able to take a photo that wouldn't go down in flames at FPC like a skyscraper in New York (inb4 "so can you do better?" -- I don't have to be an expert on trains to tell you that a skateboard is not a train). He is certainly not an artistic or professional photographer. As such, we should apply the same standards to Klashorst as we would with anyone.
    3. His pictures are of posed artists: Bullshit. We know exactly where he finds the girls he photographs (it's not like his penchant for prostitutes is a secret, guys). And this is, again, made less likely by the fact that the kind of people that rent studio models can, at the least, take a half-decent picture if their life depended on it. So again, feel free to compare Klashorst's works to some of our Suicide Girls, for example: the difference between Klashorst and a professional studio photographer is roughly the difference between the paper airplane I just folded and a B-52 Stratofortress.
    4. These are not pornographic, so the age issue is irrelevant: An interesting position to take; try calling the party van and telling them that you have some nude pictures of under-age girls on your computer. Your end will be playing "mommies and daddies" in the prison showers with a fat, hairy fellow convict. Admit it: if these photos had any technical merit, they'd be soft-core porn. But we could even grant this premise and we'd still have the issue that there is no evidence that the models have given their consent for more-or-less unlimited publication of these pictures, so we don't even need to make this argument.
    5. Commons is not censored: Well, yes it is actually. We don't host child pornography on Commons, for example. We also don't host copyright violations. We are as uncensored as we can be within our legal (and moral) obligations. This is not an argument in itself; it is hand-waving to try and distract people from the real issues at hand.
    6. The related argument of This is a (possibly Senegalian Muslim) crusade to get rid of nudes from Commons: No, it's not. I am not a prude, nor do I really care to get rid of every nude from Commons. What I do care about is that we live up to our legal (and moral) obligations as codified in our policy on identifiable photographs of living people. Every one of these Klashorst photos fails our obligations on this count, and I'm damned if we should make an exception for Klashorst "becuz he's famous lol".
Thank you for your time. Can we start deleting yet? Lewis Collard! (lol, internet) 17:26, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment It's a pity to see such appalling stuff coming from an admin. The "keepers" are responding to individual deletion proposals as they come across them not spamming. If Mr. Collard wishes to accuse any of Kashorst's models of being prositutes, I suggest he produce evidence or remember the law of libel (and he says he's arguing for personalty rights!). Are prostitutes a cheaper alternative to artist's models? Hardly. And do professional models expect privacy? They do not however expect to be labeled as prostitutes or anything else illegal or immoral. Shame on you Mr. Collard! --Simonxag (talk) 23:04, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Likewise, it's also a pity to see both cavalier disregard for policy and thundering farts of illogic coming from other administrators in these deletion requests as well, so let's all just forgive each other and hold hands. The "spamming" thing, well, that was to pre-empt any criticism of me dumping the same copypasta (or should I say, "responding to individual deletion proposals as I come across them") in every deletion request. As for Klashorst's models being prostitutes, well, do you think it's so unlikely? Do you really believe that it's so wrong to assume that someone with a known penchant for prostitutes (this isn't libelous), who probably couldn't put a camera strap around his shoulder without an instruction manual, who posts a whole ton of photographs of young, nude women, is more likely to be hiring prostitutes and taking photographs of them, than hiring professional models?
"And do professional models expect privacy?", well, yes they do, and if we were talking about some kind of reputable artist or company (the point of my SG example) then we would be more inclined to assume that we were, in fact, talking about professional models who had given their consent. But given Klashorst's seedy background, I think we should be more vigilant about insisting on this than we should for any other random pr0ns that end up at commons. As it is, I think the odds are good that these women are poor, desperate, and are being used as trophies by some Dutch hack precisely because they are unlikely to ever find out that their pictures are being posted all over the Internet. Shame on me indeed. Lewis Collard! (lol, internet) 03:48, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The only valid point being made by the deleters is in the case of the women who might be under age: Kashorst is Dutch & Holland has a very low age of consent. The pictures may not be porn but in the UK pedo hysteria is such that a pediatrician's house has been burned down and at least 1 child has died because an adult did not dare come to their aid. This does not justify any assumption other than the models being models. I remember watching an interview with a plump middle-aged schoolteacher who had modeled for Lucien Freud (who had quite a reputation!): there was some gentle innuendo that she might have been Freud's lover (which she didn't seem to mind), but I think I can guess what would have happened if a Mr. Collard had called her a prostitute! --Simonxag (talk) 10:10, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This has nothing to do with "pedo hysteria". The pictures are soft porn by any standards, and as such there are legal requirements for keeping that sort of thing around. And how is this the only valid argument? Does the fact that we have possibly compromising pictures of identifiable people mean nothing at all to you? "Does not justify any assumption other than the models being models", well, I can't imagine what kind of retarded parallel universe you live in, wherein it is IDIOCY! LIBEL! to assume photos of girls made by a man who has a known penchant for prostitutes may well be photographs of prostitutes. Lewis Collard! (lol, internet) 13:22, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Now who is slandering these women? Peter Klashorst or you? In his blog he calls them models. You call them prostitutes. -Nard 21:37, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I don't know any reason this would be correct. The patient has a HIPPA right to privacy, but that only limits how information can be shared. It doesn't give them a copyright. Superm401 - Talk 13:04, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am not a US citizen, and these images were not taken in the US; please do not attempt to apply US law to this situation. :-) Unless you can provide proof that in the UK jurisdiction images are not owned by the patient, then the images should stay. They are images of me, taken on my behalf and paid for by my health insurance. If they fall into a category, it is of work for hire. Gerv 15:47, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't suppose you have an actual argument? Superm401 - Talk 22:29, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Of course that I have. I am sure it is obvious, but let me articulate it. :-) For a work to be copyrightable, it must meet some minimal standards of originality and author's input. It should be the result of some creative, intellectual, or artistic efforts, none of which these CT scans are, IMO. Spiritia 07:15, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I'm not a mind-reader, and this isn't a vote. As noted, the Berne convention mandates protection for works in the scientific domain, of which this is included. The operator has enough discretion about how the image is taken that it is copyrightable. Superm401 - Talk 00:31, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Whether you're a U.S. citizen is irrelevant to this. Yes, HIPPA is a U.S. law; but my point was that medical privacy laws (the U.K. does have medical privacy law, I presume) are separate from copyright. As for the U.K., it's party to the Berne convention which says, "The works mentioned in this Article [including "literary, scientific and artistic domain"] shall enjoy protection in all countries of the Union. This protection shall operate for the benefit of the author and his successors in title." Note that it doesn't say for the benefit of the patient. Nor is it a work for hire, since the doctor is not your employee. Superm401 - Talk 22:29, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Again, the UK is party to the Berne Convention, which automatically gives copyright to the author (i.e. operator). I see nothing to indicate an exception here. Superm401 - Talk 01:03, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Except "author" and "operator" are not synonyms in the context of a work for hire relationship. --Una Smith (talk) 02:37, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The uploader has provided no evidence they are the employer in a work for hire relationship. This is unlikely as they don't have the ability to control how the radiographer does their job. Superm401 - Talk 18:33, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
On the contrary, the patient does control whether the image is taken. Work for hire is common in self-employed photographers, by the way; eg although many wedding photographers claim copyright some wedding photographers work for hire, in which case the client has all copyright. --Una Smith (talk) 18:46, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep The uploader attests the copyright is his, and no evidence has been given that it is not his. --Una Smith (talk) 02:41, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's not how Commons works. The uploader needs to provide evidence the image is acceptable for the site. They have done nothing to show they own the copyright under the law. Superm401 - Talk 18:31, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
When in doubt, keep it. --Una Smith (talk) 18:46, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely not. To keep the image, there must be proof it is acceptable. If there are serious and unresolved doubts, the image must be deleted. Superm401 - Talk 11:53, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
By what policy? --Una Smith (talk) 08:12, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Commons:Licensing. "The information given on the description page should be sufficient to allow others to verify the license status" The information is not anywhere near sufficient to verify that it's PD. Superm401 - Talk 19:16, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Another point which a friend made when we discussed this tonight: He said I have the ability to order the hospital to delete my scans. And if I can do that, they must not have ownership of them, because if they did, they could refuse. gerv (talk) 21:27, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The right to order someone to delete private information has nothing to do with copyright. Superm401 - Talk 11:50, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete Under UK law, copyright in such images follows the usual rules - ie the copyright owner is the author of the image (the radiographer) or, most likely in practice, the radiographer's employer such as the Health Authority. See the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, ss 11(1) & (2). Nothing under UK law gives the patient ownership of the copyright. It is true that there are other laws relating to the way in which the Health Authority can retain and use such images, but those are Data Protection laws amongst others. The fact that the subject may have some say in the use of the image does not mean he owns the copyright. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 06:16, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The copyright owner has right to transfer all copyrights to someone else. So, for example, many veterinarians in small practices simply give the images, and the copyrights, to the client. --Una Smith (talk) 08:06, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The "radiographer's employer" is me (through the intermediary of my insurance company) - these are not NHS scans, they are private. No Health Authority involved. gerv (talk) 09:59, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Photographs made by point-and-shoot cameras are always copyrighted. There's no reason the situation here would be different. Superm401 - Talk 19:50, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. There is no doubt that images of this type require sufficient skill and labour (eg in setting-up the equipment) for copyright to subsist - UK copyright law grants protection to images having far less originality than this. Under UK law, the "radiographer's employer" is the actual employer, not the patient/client, even if he paid privately for the images to be made. Employment, for this purpose, means under a contract of service, and not a contract for services (CDPA 1988, s178). The client does not become an employer merely by virtue of the fact that he is paying for the images to be made. Also, copyright does not pass with physical ownership of the image (eg an x-ray film, a printout etc) so the only way in which the patient could own this copyright is if there has been a formal copyright assignment in writing.
