Sharp-eyed Knowledge Incarnate has noted (and reported here) that in Column 2 the fifth glyph down don't look right.

no information on who painted this or when it was painted. subject lived 1910-1946. alternatively, where is this displayed? if it is displayed publicly and covered by COM:FOP it may not matter who painted it. 140.247.253.241 20:51, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]


    •  Keep It is displayed public display at the Bishop House, Palai and comes under COM:FOP

According to the Indian Copyright Act of 1957, Section 52, as currently revised:

52. Certain acts not to be infringement of copyright—(1) The following acts shall not constitute an infringement of copyright, namely: ... (s) the making or publishing of a painting, drawing, engraving or photograph of a work of architecture or the display of a work of architecture;' (t) the making or publishing of a painting, drawing, engraving or photograph of a sculpture, or other artistic work failing under sub-clause (iii) of clause (c) of section 2 ["any other work of artistic craftsmanship"], if such work is permanently situate in a public place or any premises to which the public has access; (u) the inclusion in a cinematograph film of- (i) any artistic work permanently situate in a public place or any premises to which the public has access

I hereby request to remove this from deletion tag.

 Comment Is the picture permanently on display or just as part of a temporary exhibition? --Simonxag (talk) 00:08, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delete To the 169... IP: Freedom of panorama does not apply here. If you read carefully the text of law you have quoted, you will see that it allows reproductions of works of architecture and sculptures: for example, you are allowed to make a painting of a building. But reproductions of 2D paintings are not included. Pruneautalk 09:17, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Keep It’s the photograph an Icon image which is at permanent display for public at the Bishop house, Palai. The orginal icon was painted by Fr. Jacob Kurroth and kept for public veneration at Bishop House Chapel.

More than that its printed on different calanders, notices and thanksgiving advertisements by belivers in local news papers. Everyone has free access to this.

Copies of this is also displayed in large number of churches in Kerala after the canonization.

See, http://www.alphonsa.net/Icon.jpg - Public access is provided for this. I have uploaded this to include in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Alphonsa article.

Does it falls in any other licence other than COM:FP ?

I think this comes under COM:FP,

read the copy right clause (t) and (i)

(t) the making or publishing of a painting, drawing, engraving or photograph of a sculpture, or other artistic work failing under sub-clause (iii) of clause (c) of section 2 ["any other work of artistic craftsmanship"], if such work is permanently situate in a public place or any premises to which the public has access;

(i) any artistic work permanently situate in a public place or any premises to which the public has access

169.145.3.13 22:08, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Paintings and drawings do not qualify as "works of artistic craftsmanship. You should read COM:FOP#United Kingdom, which explains what can be considered as artistic craftsmanship. Clause (t) does not apply here. As for the clause (i) that you quote, it is actually only a subsection of section (u) (see the original Act; it's on page 36), which deals with inclusion in cinematographic film, so it doesn't apply either.
The fact that other people are using this image does not prove that it is free; maybe they are in breach of copyright, or maybe they obtained permission from the copyright owner. The only way this image can be free is if the creator died at least 60 years ago. Pruneautalk 07:35, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you tell me if there is any other licensing which i can use to keep this photograph in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Alphonsa article. 169.145.3.13 22:08, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This image will likely be deleted from Commons, but it could be accepted on the English Wikipedia as fair use. You would need to upload it on Wikipedia and follow the explanations given at en:Wikipedia:Non-free content. Pruneautalk 21:12, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for asking, but what does SPA stand for? What makes you say that the deletion request is POV? Pruneautalk 10:26, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Keep : In my considered opinion, the reproduction of this image does not violate the proviso of the Indian Copyright Act of 1957 if the Act is taken into its entirety, in letter as well as in spirit. In any case, the image being in wide circulation in some regions of India without being challenged by the copyright holder/s, if any, the copy right holder/s are probably precluded from claiming any infringement on account of the principal of estoppel as understood and interpreted (legally) in most of the countries having legal system owing genesis to the English Common Law. --Bhadani (talk) 17:53, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. Paintings and drawings do not qualify as "works of artistic craftsmanship" within the meaning of that term in any Common Law country that I am aware of. The estoppel argument is too speculative to allow us to be sure the image is free of all copyright restrictions (the remedy of damages is not an equitable remedy and estoppel would not apply).

Out of scope: "Description: Expanded theory of panspermia to point out problems with the Creation/Intelligent Design Debate, including mathematical basis." Pieter Kuiper (talk) 21:44, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can change the description, but the pair of images, one of which is a derivative of figure 3 in the .en genetic code article, and the other, which was already on Commons, seem to me to simply be a side-by-side comparison of two remarkable images, with no copyvios our any other problems. As a teacher, I would use such an image either: 1) to point out problems with taking scientific correlations to necessarily imply causation (devoid prediction), or 2) to make a faith-based argument in terms of GDI, "God Did It". These are two points that are often discussed and debated, so I think the image will be used. On Commons, I think we should avoid any atheist or GDI POVs and just put up images for other editor's use on .en. Pieter: Do you agree? Could you suggest another description? Doug youvan (talk) 14:12, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is out of scope because it is a .jpg-image of a page with mostly text, which has the look of a wikipedia page. I cannot see any use for such an image on any wikimedia project. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 14:40, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I can reconstruct the image of GCMOON with no text in the image and all the text you now see in the image description. Would that be satisfactory? Doug youvan (talk) 03:32, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Image:Full_Moon_Luc_Viatour.jpg and Image:Genetic_Code.JPG exist. A montage of the two images is a derivative work and must be licensed with the more restrictive license (GFDL and CC-by). A montage would arguably be within scope, but I wonder what specific WP article(s) would benefit from this image and why they are better displayed as a montage. Walter Siegmund (talk) 00:53, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please tell me how to change the license, and I will. As a biophysicist and Christian apologist, I do see forthcoming uses of this image if we continue to write in .en through the Biblical Millineum, which I believe has begun or will begin soon. GDI would be the summary statement. This is a faith-based argument supporting the utility of this image. Doug youvan (talk) 20:54, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I see the image is now deleted. Can someone explain to me how, when, and where that was done. I see no further comments here in this discussion. Doug youvan (talk) 04:08, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. The images are available elsewhere. The rest is text which should be posted to Wikipedia, not Commons. See COM:PS - the file is mostly raw text. MichaelMaggs (talk) 20:57, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted even taking the outcome of Template talk:PD-US-statue/proposal into consideration, this is still a blatant copyright violation. The creator of the statue in this case retains rights. Copyright violation unless the author releases rights or the statues is proven by some other means to be in the public domain.

Derivative work of a toy. See Commons:Derivative works. The date refers to the photography, therefore "self-made" should refer to the photography rather than to the toy. The label is to fuzzy to be read, Its text looks like some chinese characters. Teofilo (talk) 15:11, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Lean towards keep. Certainly the red heart pattern on the plush toy is public domain. So the only possible copyrighted element would be the shape-- looks to me like a rather generic stuffed dog toy. Unless there is some indication that the toy is either based on some copyrighted character or a work of artistic originallity in itself, I think there may be no problem here. -- Infrogmation (talk) 16:52, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The First Circuit has endorsed this view, explaining that when there is only a limited number of ways to express an idea “the burden of proof is heavy on the plaintiff who may have to show ‘near identity’ between the works at issue.” Concrete Mach. Co. v. Classic Lawn Ornaments, Inc., 843 F.2d 600, 606-07 (1st Cir. 1988) (citing Sid & Marty Krofft Television v. McDonald’s Corp., 562 F.2d 1157, 1167 (9th Cir. 1977)). source (pdf). Perhaps it would be OK to borrow the idea (because ideas are not copyrightable) of a dog plush with a red heart pattern, by making an entirely new plush. But in the case of a photography of the plaintiff's work, the "near identity" level is reached, because this is the principle on which cameras and photos are based. Teofilo (talk) 19:36, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am the author of the photo; I took the photo thinking on Valentine’s Day; and incidentally, to test a new camera that I have just bought. I think that this is rather an innocent photo of a toy. In addition, I have changed the "self-made" by indicating that it is only a photo of a toy. Hope this clarifies what the photo or contribution is about and my intentions further, but you are the experts. Anyways, it is altogether a good experience for me. Certainly, I would be more careful with my subjects from now on, and definitely these issues are very interesting. I would have never approached them from those points of view myself, if you would have not been able to shade light on them for me in here, Therefore thank you.--JohnManuel (talk) 23:35, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted per Papa November and AVRS as this image constitutes a derived work and there is no freedom of panorama in Russia which permits commercial usage. Commons accepts, however, images only that can be commercially used. --AFBorchert (talk) 20:52, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stained glass is a creative art, therefore it is eligible for copyright protection. Teofilo (talk) 19:47, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
According to http://flickr.com/photos/andydr/2568583/ the lamp was probably made by the photographer's grandparents. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 19:56, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Are they still alive ? If they aren't, we need all their heirs (probably all chidren and/or grand-children) to agree with the terms of a free license. Teofilo (talk) 20:04, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
HUH!? It's the author's life + 70 years. In any other case, we might just as well delete all our "PD-old" images, because almost everyone has an heir. /grillo (talk) 20:20, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
For example, this would mean that for an image taken by my grandfather, it becomes PD in 70+ years (he's currently alive) if, and only if, all my and my cousins' grandchildren agree to license the image under a free licence? That's absurd. /grillo (talk) 20:23, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, I might have misunderstood. Teofilo is talking about the 70 years after the death of the author? If so, that might be correct. /grillo (talk) 20:31, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If this lamp is a design with copyright, it is reasonable to assume that the photographer inherited the copyright together with the lamp. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 20:36, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If the artist left a en:Will (law) saying so, you might be right. If not, I am afraid the copyright benefits should be shared between more heirs, even if only one of them received the material posession of the artwork. Teofilo (talk) 04:36, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Grillo, I was assuming that the flickr uploader's grandparents might still be alive or died less than 70 years ago. If we find an indication that they died before december 31st, 1927, the picture can be kept. Teofilo (talk) 04:36, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

From the nomination wording it's clear that a possible violation of the architects copyright is suspected as this seems to be modern building. COM:FOP says for the US: Anyone may take photographs of buildings from public places. --Túrelio (talk) 05:58, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

COM:FOP#United States. Teofilo (talk) 18:51, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The wording of the Copyright Law of the United States of America is "ordinarily visible" : if you have to climb a ladder of take a helicopter to see it, I don't think it is "ordinary" any longer. Teofilo (talk) 18:51, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kept as I do not think that the depicted part of the building is eligible for copyright. Let me cite from here:

The copyrightability of a given architectural work will therefore involve a two-step analysis: (1) are original design elements present, including overall shape and interior architecture and (2) are such design elements functionally required?
The Congressional Committee Report states that if none of the design elements is functionally required, the work is protectable. If functional considerations determine only particular design elements, separate protection will be afforded for the nonfunctionally determined elements. Original combinations of standard features may be protectable even if the particular features themselves are not original.

In this particular case, I see just some windows, reinforcements, and something which looks to me like a railing. All this is functionally required and consequently ineligible for copyright.

Independent from this, I concur with Teofilo that this has not been photographed from a public place according to US law. --AFBorchert (talk) 23:58, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Keep Is it a joke? PD-Old is about Giacomo Brogi picture, of course the pd for the sculpture itself (non bidimensional) is already expired because the San Ranieri door (by Bonanno) was casted in 11th century, so I guess is more than the 70 or 700 years. --Sailko (talk) 20:25, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence of rights to the original, this appears to be a mere copy of a 1957 or 1958 photo, when the volcano last erupted. User:Doug(talk contribs) 22:07, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See also Commons:Deletion_requests/Image:Capelinhos_eruption2.jpg, also note the uploader's page, apparently he or she uploads lots of copyvio works for use on French Wikipedia.--User:Doug(talk contribs) 22:11, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted per Doug. The uploader may have very well acted in good faith as this image appeared to be free at Flickr. However, we should not consider every claim at Flickr as trustworthy. Doug's doubts are justified and Doug asked in this case the uploader at Flickr whether the Flickr user is the original author and got no reply.

No they are not correct. The Adenauer image is GFDL and the Ratzinger image is CC-By-2.5-Brazil.
