Well, the Flickr user calls himself "Ford Motor Company". Looking at his Flickr images, that seems to be true. So, probably it's someone of Fords' PR department. As long as it doesn't become SPAM, it might be o.k. --Túrelio (talk) 16:46, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This image is a hoax (see en:Wikipedia:Long_term_abuse/Roitr). There is no such image in the claimed source. Here [3] is the source page related to Russian army ranks. The same rank has completely different imnsignia according the source. 15:08, 22 September 2008 79.111.161.178 (talk · contribs)

This appears to be a 3D object. The subject is undoubtedly PD, but the image thereof would not be (Bridgeman applies to 2D). Version at the source has a copyright notice. --Эlcobbola talk 21:09, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Keep Nothing creative added by the reproduction. If the framing is considered creative, crop the 2d artwork and reupload. -Nard the Bard 00:47, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep as uploader. Nard says exactly what I was going to say. It is clearly a painting, and as such 2D. I don't see how the inclusion of the frame could possibly make it 3D (no physical object can actually be entirely 2D). As for the copyright notice, that's irrelevant if the photo is not eligible for copyright. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lampman (talk • contribs) (UTC)
  •  Keep per both. FWIW the frame is original (ca 1400). Johnbod (talk) 22:42, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This map is a Postmann-Michael-Fake: There is no source given and it is very inaccurate.

  1. Vilnius was not given to Lithuania in 1938 by the Poland. It was conquered and annexed as part of Belarusiaby the Soviet Union in September 1939. Later that year it was transfered to Lithunia.
  2. The SU didn't attack or annex the Baltic states in 1939, but in 1940.
  3. The w:en:Soviet invasion of Poland (1939) didn't start on 03-09-1939, but two weeks later. Syrcro (talk) 11:36, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep I understand your concern but it is not up to Commons to sort out the correctness of a map. Currently, this map is used by 9 Wikipedia projects. As long as this map is properly licensed and widely used it will surely be kept at Commons. I suggest to look for better maps or to create a new map and then to convince all the Wikipedia communities to move to the improved map. Once this has been achieved, we can delete this map on the ground that it has been substituted by an improved version. Independent from this, I would recommend to add all your objections to the talk page of the map such that they are noted by all who intend to use it. --AFBorchert (talk) 14:06, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete, if would be not repaired. I am sure incorectnesses like here disqualificate this picture. I agree, "it is not up by Commons", but it is up to people (who work with encyclopedia that anyone can edit). It is very easy - if the picture would not be corrected by author or by somebody - to remove it from 9 projects. Wikipedia has to show true facts, not replicate errors. Julo (talk) 14:51, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep. It should stay until a better map is provided, or maybe this one - repaired with a source. Until then it should be kept, as it is, apparently, in wide use. Personally, I prefer a repair - first of all, the changes are described in german, which is by far not a language as spoken as english. Second, the description timing is quite too short for a normal person to read, so the dates that appear are hard to notice. - Tourbillon 13:09, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I have notified all Wikipedia projects who use this image in at least one of their articles. This image is no longer referenced in the German or in the Polish Wikipedia (with the exception of a talk page). Currently, there are references left in the English, Japanese, Spanish, Bulgarian, and Albanian Wikipedia. I have removed all references to this map from gallery pages at Commons. Appropriate replacements or improvements would be welcomed. Please take notice of the correspondence regarding this deletion request on my talk page. --AFBorchert (talk) 13:42, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral I don't see the reason to delete the image. Citing Commons "Wikimedia Commons is a media file repository making available public domain and freely-licensed educational media content (images, sound and video clips) to all." However the image was removed from Wikipedia in Albanian. Waiting the repair of the image. --  eagleal  15:42, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete If not repaired before deletion poll runs out, per "Postmann-Michael-Fake". Postmann Micheal is somewhat of a German equivalent to User Roylee on English Wikipedia, just much more prolific. His "contributions" still plague segments of German Wikipedia. Whenever something done by him can be sorted out one way or the other, it should be sorted IMHO. And in case there is no-one to repair, revert. Yaan (talk) 21:48, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete - the creator was banned infinitely from de-WP for deliberately distorting historic facts. He "specialized" in manipulated maps that do not show reality but his POV. Is it much better not to have a map at all, than a deliberately false one. --h-stt !? 08:19, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep I have no view about the accuracy of the map but COM:PS is quite clear that it must be kept if it is being used in good faith on on of the WMF projects. Stage 1 for those who would like to get rid of it is to get it removed from the projects, eg by uploading something more accurate and getting that used instead. Until then, our policy is that it must stay. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 06:35, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Micheal, you are dead wrong in your interpretation of the policy. The falsehood of the map has been proven, the creator has been banned indefinitely for it, thus his works do not enjoy good faith anymore. Distorted information is much worse than no information. Get rid of it. Now! --h-stt !? 07:23, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, H-stt, this would violate Commons policies. Commons is not the battleground to have debates about the factual correctness of maps. You are free to note on the image page that its contents is disputed by using the {{Disputed diagram}} template (nobody has done this until now), to summarize all its problems on its talk page, to see that it gets fixed or replaced, and to convince all projects that use it to remove or substitute it. So far, I haven't seen any of these activities from anyone here who pleaded for deletion. The Japanese, Spanish, and Bulgarian Wikipedia are still using this image within regular articles. --AFBorchert (talk) 07:57, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  KeepProjects are separate entities and commons serves as a repository for all free images. Unless the freeness of this image is disputed I do not see a reason to delete it. Further, NPOV in the usual sense does not apply, so POV-pushing is a non-issue. MBisanz talk 01:35, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment This image is now removed from the Japanese Wikipedia article pointed out by AFBorchert above. Spanish and Bulgarian wikipedias still have references from articles, though.--Makotoy (talk) 09:12, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. This image is in the process of being removed from projects (if not done already) with good reason; it is incorrect. I appreciate that Commons is not one to judge NPOV and the like, but we do a disservice to other projects, and to those who seek our content, by providing incorrect material such as this. Thus I delete this on the basis that it is effectively useless, and if it should not be used on any project — and thus fails to meet the project scope.

I'm not so sure the Russian government would look fondly upon granting official copyright free status to the money of a breakaway republic. OTH, one could argue the breakaway republic never passed its own copyright law, and hence inherited that existing in Russia for the brief period it was quasi-sovereign. In which case this bill would qualify. -Nard the Bard 14:05, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are several de facto states in the world which are not fully recognized by the international community. What does the law says about copyrights in these territories? How should we treat works from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus or from Somaliland? This is weighty issue indeed.
As for this specific image - I understand that this self declared republic doesn't exist anymore, hence the Russian law definitely applies. The uploader thought this image is a depiction of a banknote which, according to the RU law, is not copyrighted. However, this alleged banknote was not produced by the Russian government, so actually I'm not sure that no-copyright principle applies here. Drork (talk) 06:43, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As a part of wikipedia this photo is used for science and educational purposes without profit. According to german copyright law this is allowed, even if the owner is a private person. If the photographer was a army war correspondent (as many were), the state Bundesrepublik Deutschland is now owner of this photo. The state alows public use of all non-secret Documents.

Jules Perahim died in 2008 : too early for PD-old --Teofilo (talk) 00:09, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]


This is a copy of the talk (in French) the uploader and I have been having on my talk page and his :

Jules Perahim



Bonjour Teofilo,

Les tableaux de Jules Perahim proviennent de ma collection d'images perso, je le connaissais personnellement, j'étais allé chez lui rue des Pyrénées à Paris. Au départ c'étaient des photos argentiques, puis j'ai tout scanné en entré en informatique.

D'autres images de ces tableaux circulent: certaines sur des sites qui en vendent, d'autres sur les sites des musées qui en possèdent.

Où est le problème ?

Cordialement, --Spiridon MANOLIU (talk) 12:02, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Généralement, les droits de reproduction n'appartiennent pas au collectionneur, mais aux héritiers de l'artiste. Hier une personne a tenté de participer à l'article francophone sur Jules Perahim, et à la fin de sa contribution il était écrit : « Perahim est affilié à la société de droits d’auteur ADAGP. Les droits intellectuels, moraux et patrimoniaux de l’artiste appartiennent à son épouse Marina Vanci-Perahim, historienne de l’art, professeur émérite Université de Paris I – Panthéon Sorbonne. » (voir fr:Discuter:Jules Perahim). J'imagine que les musées qui publient des reproductions sous forme de cartes postales ou sous forme de pages sur internet doivent avoir obtenu l'autorisation de le faire auprès de l'ADAGP, probablement en payant ce qu'il faut payer en matière de droits d'auteurs. Teofilo (talk) 13:56, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
J'imagine que Jules Perahim vous a autorisé à prendre une photo pour votre usage personnel, mais pas pour diffuser la photographie sur internet. Si c'était le cas il vous aurait signé un document écrit vous autorisant à le faire. Teofilo (talk) 14:03, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jules Perahim (bis)



Re-bonjour Teofilo,

Perahim et moi avons surtout parlé du passé. Il était déjà bien âgé. Il avait eu des relations ambigues avec d'autres peintres, dont ma mère, qui à la fois ont souffert et ont profité du système qu'il avait contribué à mettre en place. Lui, il pouvait cadrer, parfois durement, mais aider aussi. Moi je cherchais à démêler les faits au milieu de tous ces témoignages contradictoires. Puis nous avons évoqué de mon intention d'écrire et d'illustrer des articles sur Wiki sur les peintres. Il m'a autorisé à le faire, y compris avec mes photos, mais c'est resté verbal, il aurait voulu y jeter un oeil, mais il a décliné et on ne s'est plus revus.

En tout cas les trois images que j'ai mises représentent des tableaux qu'il a vendus: le plus ancien (qui fait quelque chose comme 4 mètres de long) au Musée d'Art de Bucarest (qui le garde dans ses réserves, c'est là que je l'ai pris en 1991), les deux petits à des particuliers en France, je crois. Son épouse n'a jamais fait d'objection à leur présence dans l'article. En tout cas il ne s'agit pas d'un usage commercial (cela ne peut pas nuire aux détenteurs actuels non plus).

C'est dommage de ne pas pouvoir illustrer un article sur un peintre, par des exemples de son art créatif.

Par ailleurs, j'ai lu le texte de Nathalie Kaufmann et il y a dans son ajout des détails intéressants, que j'ai assez envie de rajouter dans l'article en faisant une synthèse sourcée (que je traduirais ensuite en roumain). Mais c'est pas la peine que je le fasse, si ensuite vous décidez de reverter.

Pour finir, j'ai déjà eu cette discussion il y a quelques mois sur le wiki roumain, puis par mail avec divers ayant-droit des oeuvres de Perahim, et nous avons tous décidé de laisser les illustrations dans l'article roumain. Si c'est possible là, pourquoi pas dans l'article français ?

Cordialement, viszont latàstra, --Spiridon MANOLIU (talk) 19:45, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]


I think the following points are the most relevant for the decision to delete or keep here on Commons, so here is a brief English translation :

  • We [Mr Manoliu & Mr Perahim] talked about my planning to write and illustrate Wiki articles on painters. He agreed, including with photographs, but that remained an oral assent ("Puis nous avons évoqué de mon intention d'écrire et d'illustrer des articles sur Wiki sur les peintres. Il m'a autorisé à le faire, y compris avec mes photos, mais c'est resté verbal")
  • anyway this is no commercial use ("En tout cas il ne s'agit pas d'un usage commercial")
  • I've already had that talk a few months ago on the Romanian Wiki, then by E-mail with various copyright holders of Perahim works and then we all decided to keep the pictures in the Romanian article ("j'ai déjà eu cette discussion il y a quelques mois sur le wiki roumain, puis par mail avec divers ayant-droit des oeuvres de Perahim, et nous avons tous décidé de laisser les illustrations dans l'article roumain.")

English translation by Teofilo (talk) 08:18, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]


I don't know the Romanian language, so it would be difficult for me to understand what has been said on the Romanian Wikipedia. But this situation looks like some sort of "fair use", which might be OK on the Romanian Wikipedia, but which is not OK on the French Wikipedia. My opinion at this stage is that the pictures should be deleted from Commons and to leave to the Romanian Wiki-community the decision to upload or not, separately, on the Romanian Wikipedia. Teofilo (talk) 08:36, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why Ukrainian copyrights law is applied to Guatemala photos? EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:55, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]


True, I had not noticed that, and it is an obvious mistake from my part. Indeed the image was produced & released by the government of Guatemala. After inspecting again the tags, I advance that the scanned image is from the available evidence presented by the Government of Guatemala to the United Nations following the international altercation vs. Mexico in 1958-1959, and has been cropped a little bit for size and no special effects were added; therefore I propose to use the PD-scan tag. As the original document (which I have in my possesion) states, it was released to the international community as available evidence of the "restrained" military action by the Guatemalan Air Force, and therefore one should not expect the Guatemalan government to withdraw its public release and public property. Thank you, -BatteryIncluded (talk) 18:32, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. I don't see anything in the Guatemalan copyright law that would make works created for the government (or the army) copyright-free.
