Image contains an incorrect chemical structure and has resided in Category:Disputed chemical diagrams without objection for more than a month Edgar181 (talk) 18:04, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that having a bromine that is a bit small is enough of a reason for deletion when there is no alternative version of this image (or is there?) --Itub (talk) 12:00, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The purpose of a space-filling model is to depict the volume and shape of a molecule in three-dimensional space, so if an atom is improperly sized, the model does not accurately depict the the volume and shape. Though the bromine atom is not terribly inaccurate in this case, I have gone ahead and created a corrected image at Image:Bromodragonfly3D.png. Edgar181 (talk) 12:45, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, if there is a substitute I have no objection. Note that even if the volumes were not all correct, at least the figure could have been useful to get an idea of the shape of the molecule (although I prefer stick models for that...) --Itub (talk) 13:15, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Licence not applicable as the photo clearly is licenced as all rights reserved. Email has been sent to the photographer enquiring as to whether they ever licenced it under cc-by-2.0, am awaiting a reply, but until such time as that occurs, I feel it is better to pre-empt the response to show that we don't stand for any copyright violation Russavia (talk) 10:33, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The artist died in 1963 and cannot have uploaded it here. http://www.finchleygallery.com/the-artist.htm Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:28, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I should have done a mass deletion on this and the two subsequent. Sorry! I didn't realize it was possible. I believe the uploader is quite likely the owner of the website which also hosts these images. Given that the website is apparently a tribute by the descendants of the artist, it may be that they own the copyright to these images. But the uploading rationale is not plausible and needs to be addressed. These images are not public domain, as the artist died in 1963. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:33, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

collage, usage of at least two unfree photos, see http://www.biochem.wisc.edu/faculty/adler/cv.aspx Polarlys (talk) 22:38, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The collage was made by me User:Kohlasz. Both photos are modified compared to the original ones - see colours etc. Over these facts in both cases I have the agreements for the useage of these items in public, scientific media for free. The other photos belong to the non copyright requested group of images due to the time of their publication. Kohlasz (talk) 16:40, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The renewal of the agreement has arrived some minutes before. Please tell me the address to be posted. Kohlasz (talk) 17:09, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please read Commons:Licensing. „Usage in public scientific media“ isn’t enough, we still have no proper source (who is the artist) and of course no permission. Please provide proper sources for all works used in this collage. --Polarlys (talk) 23:06, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

supposedly "not an object of copyright", w/o explanation 206.170.102.210 17:01, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep First of all the author is unknown and the photo is taken during the soviet period in which case there are no copyright restriction available anywhere regarding that photo. This is just another try by Russian users to delete Georgia related photos. The reason is inadequate for deletion and I dont see any solid arguments for it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iberieli (talk • contribs) 18:35, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding copyright for Soviet-era works, you may wish to study the arguments in en:Template talk:PD-USSR and Template talk:PD-Soviet. Your assumption regarding the anonymous user with the American IP address do not seem to fit in with their editing patterns, either. LX (talk, contribs) 06:32, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Probably faulty and misleading data. A user on de.WP emailed me about several problems with this map I created, most of them with the trustworthiness of the data source I used, but also systematic errors I made when allocating city districts from the source to the map.

Buzz Aldrin's Race into Space

[edit]

Screenshots, gameplay, artwork

[edit]

Original source indeterminate clip art

[edit]

I suspect that the above images listed by Lordpeyre (talk · contribs) are all copyvios. Here is my evidence:

  1. The same or similar images had been previously uploaded to English Wikipedia as "Fair Use" and were subsequently deleted (see Peyre's user talk at English WP) before they were uploaded here.
  2. The images state they are from the open-source project "Raceintospace". However, the artwork depicted here is from the original game released by Interplay.
  3. Those images of spacecraft and the explosion may be copyvios regardless, as it cannot be determined what the original source of this imagery is (e.g., the space capsules might be from NASA or the CIA, but may be derived from a mockup made by a non-government agency). The point is we can't tell.

Thanks! Mendaliv (talk) 09:10, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]


This discussion seemingly will never end. Mendaliv, your evidence seemingly convincing, but it's off base here. I originally uploaded images from BARIS. I explained repeatedly that the game's copyright has reverted to its original designers and that they gave me explicit written permission to post them, but the images started being deleted anyway. Finally I captured screenshots from the open-source port "Raceintospace" instead, at the original programmer's suggestion, and now, predictably it seems, I'm being challenged on them again.

If you'd like to establish where the artwork is originally from, you could ask the original programmer, Michael McCarty. In fact he answered this very question just today: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2131111&forum_id=438959/&abmode=1

Excuse me if I seem a little testy about this issue, but I've explained repeatedly and am still being challenged on it.

71.128.152.202 04:36, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh wait, I see it's you that Michael was responding to. Ok, so I see you're already doing your homework (my fault for not checking before copy & pasting). Hopefully he can answer any questions you have on this. 71.128.152.202 04:50, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, then. That confirms that a large portion of those images are probably free use. Per Mr. McCarty's comment on SourceForge, Image:SplashScreen.jpg and Image:BARISSplashScreen.jpg are probably not free-use, at least in part due to Mr. Aldrin's signature. I would like to suggest however that the artwork of things such as space capsules and screenshots of video sequences of rockets exploding, etc, may be public domain (product of NASA) or protected by other copyright (product of news agencies of that era). The fact that Strategic Visions used that artwork in the old BARIS is meaningless as they may well have paid a licensing fee to use it. IANAL, so I'd like to hear comment from someone more experienced in researching licensing issues such as these. I'm going to ask for participation from Mr. McCarty in this discussion over on SourceForge. Mendaliv (talk) 14:34, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also, the thing is, you still could have used the copyrighted imagery from BARIS just fine on Wikipedia, provided you'd followed the rules for posting "fair-use" images. It looks like you hadn't provided a properly detailed Fair-use rationale on those images that were deleted, which is why they were deleted. Mendaliv (talk) 14:47, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Mendaliv. I can see where some of the concern is coming from, then. Sorting out the details of photo upload on WP and WC it a little complicated, and trying to figure out how to indicate the licensing for this was a nightmare, since it's sort of nonstandard. Hashing this all out is probably a good idea; if some or all of the images should be deleted, I'll be happy to do so. 165.107.9.47 19:04, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]


The Images of the gameplay posted by Peyre were taken from the Open Source version of the game. The graphics imagery are identical to the DOS game. All the game sources and images that I had ownership of have been released as Open Source under the GPL and anyone is free to use them.

The original Interplay image with Buzz Aldrin is something we're not using in the Open Source version because Mr Aldrin's name was licensed by Interplay for the version they released. I believe that the screenshot with Mr Aldrin can be used when referencing the original game in the same way the Quake box cover is used on it's wiki page.

Quoting from there: "id Software has released no such images into the public domain, and a replacement image could not be created that would adequately provide the same information The image is being used for no purpose other than to identify the subject of the article The use of this image neither detracts from the game nor inhibits its salability in any way"

-Michael McCarty

Yeah, the concern isn't so much whether we can or can't use it; it's whether it's really free-use. The BARIS splash with the "Buzz Aldrin" signature can still be used on Wikipedia, but it'll have to be deleted from Commons. Commons only permits images that are available under a free-use license (GPL/GDFL, Creative Commons, Public Domain), while Wikipedia is a bit more liberal. The problem with Peyre/Lordpeyre's images on Wikipedia had been apparently that they lacked any Fair-use Rationale. Peyre/Lordpeyre, if you want to contact me on Wikipedia (same username), I can help you out with those details of fair-use imagery. Mendaliv (talk) 22:09, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Isamu Noguchi sculptures without FOP

[edit]

Isamu Noguchi's works are still copyrighted. These photos were taken in the U.S., where there is no freedom of panorama for sculptures, or in Japan, where sculpture FOP is noncommercial-only.

I have no idea whether the title of the image is the same as the title of the sculpture. The sculpture is only partly visible. Nature is prevailing. So keep it.--Gerardus (talk) 09:06, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I strongly believe (?) that the whole Moerenuma Park is a kind of Environmental art object and not only the sculpture. Would that mean that it is impossible to see an image of the Park on Commons? --Gerardus (talk) 09:11, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If you mean something like Spiral Jetty, then that's possible, unless "park design" is more properly classified as architecture than sculpture (I have no opinion on that). --dave pape (talk) 13:20, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's neither architecture nor a piece of art. It's a new kind of art, whidely spread since a number of years in parks, squares and memorial areas. "Park design" is not an adequate description anymore.--Gerardus (talk) 06:21, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
