Pieter Kuiper: sorry, there must be something I don't understand here. I often get this answer, 'in use', but I don't see where! Nothing links to this page, as far as I can see.

Nyttend: supposing it is not used, it looks out of COM:SCOPE to me ('Must_be_realistically_useful_for_an_educational_purpose') since it is not only impossible to guess what it is (because of no description / category), AND also impossible to find by anyone who might know and need it (because of the same)!

Additionally it is contrary to recommendations about graphics quality and format: it is a really very low res and highly compressed jpg, instead of either png or svg.

Anyway, I'll stop requesting deletions now.

I am just going through un-descripted files, trying to fix a few as I can, but 9/10 of them (20000 +) are in my opinion ;-) hopelessly useless, either in terms of quality, size, scope, filename, information, copyright, privacy, and anything you care to mention.

This would not happen if it was made compulsory to fill all the requested information fields when uploading.

Thanks anyway for the feedback!

At the top of the image page (File:G4.JPG) there is a tab "check usage" (next to "edit", "history", "watch"). Often usage and captions can provide descriptions and categories. It is a rather hopeless task, but there is a categorization robot that helps. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 07:07, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong tag. This is not an "official congressional portrait", and we have no reason to believe this is pre-1923 (LOC site says "after 1933"). A really free image of this man is available. Damiens.rf 04:45, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. As possible as it is this was published pre-1923, I cannot find anything more clear (online) than the pre-1930 statement in the captions, which, worse case scenario (published with notice and renewal), would have this under copyright until 2024. If clear evidence of either pre-1923 publishing or no renewal of copyright, can be found, this should be undeleted. -- Avi (talk) 17:37, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Low quality. OH seems a bitmap which scales poorly. Alternatives available: File:Isobutanol-2D-skeletal.png Rifleman 82 (talk) 06:23, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep It is in use. Improve the svg and upload a new version. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 07:00, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If we agree to delete, we can replace it with file:Isobutanol-2D-skeletal.png on the other wikis before deleting? --Rifleman 82 (talk) 07:24, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep, nothing wrong with this SVG, OH is not a bitmap:
<text fill="#000000" font-family="helvetica" font-size="12pt" x="264.3" y="133.248818898">OH</text>
The default size is really small, so rendering is a bit strange, but it renders fine at higher resolutions. --Tryphon (talk) 08:55, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strange... at 200px it looks odd [1]. 200 px is the default for the en-wp's en:Template:Chembox, which is why I originally brought this to deletion requests. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 14:00, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sometimes fonts are not rendered properly by the wikimedia SVG engine, and converting fonts to paths might help (especially when the font is not standard, which should not be the case here, although it is possible that it doesn't find an exact match). --Tryphon (talk) 15:04, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I just uploaded a new version, and it works fine (you need to force a reload to get rid of the cached version, or try 201px). Now the file I uploaded might not be exactly accurate, because I don't have helvetica fonts installed on this computer; but feel free to reupload an improved version. --Tryphon (talk) 15:17, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep how svg could be "low quality" ? The new version is fine. VIGNERON * discut. 15:31, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Thanks, Tryphon. Looks perfect now. I have no further objections to this image. Vigneron: You'll be surprised. Many low quality chem images are SVGs, while many publication-quality chem images are PNGs. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 16:40, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The source states that it is a NATO Photo => copyvio High Contrast (talk) 14:17, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Deleted. This is [3] and NATO claims sole copyright over all photos in their library. See [4]. Permission for viewing does not equal free use. This could be used, unaltered, on a fair-use project, perhaps, but this is not free use as commons requires. Mr. Cooke's statement of "To the best of my knowledge all military data and images presented in these pages are UNCLASSIFIED, NON-SENSITIVE, and approved for public release" does not address free use either, just permission for display. -- Avi (talk) 18:08, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

unclarity about licensing: Image taken from http://www.rotary.belux.org/nl/download/graphics.shtml.

The disclaimer there [5] states that photos specifically meant to be downloaded (from the "download center" like this image) can be used privately and publicly without needing further permission. But the user has to realise that the files available on www.rotary.belux.org are copyrighted by Rotary International (rotary.org).

They then state that they have full copyright on what's on their site etc.

Whichever way it should be licensed "PD-Self" is incorrect. It might be PD-Old, but we don't know when it was taken / who was the photographer. -- Deadstar (msg) 14:44, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not PD-textlogo, no permission Multichill (talk) 21:26, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(oppose deletion): This is not simple geometric shapes and text; this logo includes a crown which is by no meanss a "simple geometric shape." Furthermore, crests such as these take a measure of research and knowledge; in countries where a "sweat of the brow" standard is kept, this is sufficient to defeat the aforementioned argument. In countries where a "work of authorship" (as in the United States) or applied art or "brand identification" (e.g. Germany) standard is required, this graphic also meets such standards. Crests of Heraldry such as as these are very personal, incorporating family or organization history on their creation; they almost meet these standards without a second glance.

However, there is a good argument for Fair Use; it is linked in an article about St. Margaret's Episcopal School (meeting the >=1 article guideline), no free analogue exists, it's of sufficiently low resolution as to prevent use in a commercial situation and also meets minimum extent of use guideline, it's the only non-free content on the page (meeting minimum use guidelines), it is displayed here (previously published guideline), and is a depiction of the school's logo and identifies the article as being about this specific school (encyclopedic value and significance). The final two requirements (limitation of location and image info page) would be satisfied on changing the licensing tag and adding the NOGALLERY tag to the image category.

Did you read Commons:Licencing#Material under the fair use clause is not allowed on Commons? Multichill (talk) 23:27, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I did not. In light of this, I must then support deletion. Morgan Phoenix (talk) 23:41, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You already suplied the fair use rationale, so probably best to move this image to enwp. Multichill (talk) 23:43, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
An even better solution. Though I wouldn't know how to do that without a step-by-step manual in front of me. I'm just a Wikigraphist who has been trying to specialize in raster-to-vector conversions. Morgan Phoenix (talk) 23:54, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NATO Photo => not public domain High Contrast (talk) 14:22, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

See http://www.nato.int/multi/photos/2005/home.htm. As such, the fact that the image was taken by a NATO officer does not make it ipso facto a NATO image.

This category: Iberian Federalismo is not realistically useful for an educational purpose. In the other hand it is true that Portugal remains in the European Union. The full purpose is obvisouly of vandalism or attack against a EU state. Not apropriated to the Politics of Portugal --Miguels

Iberian federalism or confederalism is a minimal political view and still a current political interest by few people. Check [11] and articles in other wikipedias. Attack against a EU state?

I am keeping not understanding why giving place to these subjects in Wikipedia. It is a question of respect for the politics of a country. There is no Iberian Federalism and there was never. Maybe there are separatisms in spain, I think about Catalunya and Basque country. I don't see a logical issue on that Iberian Federalism, meanwhile Portugal is a EU member state, our federation - Europe. It is not rational or reasonable to include personal creations or of thinkers, authors that never had been taught in school, or painters or philosophers... Maybe because there has been always, speaking about Portugal, a country state nation since 1139. So that idea, is just inagination of some that dont't like the picture or the Iberian Peninsula "incomplete". By the way, what would they do about Gibraltar and Andorra?

1943 + 70 > 2009. Too young for PD-TR. sугсго 07:45, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

However, the good news is that the image here http://photos.state.gov/galleries/ankara/9104/dostlar_arasinda_foto_sergisi/3.html seems just as good, if not better, for all conceivable purposes, and the text there says (Google translate): "Photo used with permission of Franklin Delano Roosevelt Presidential Library." which seems like PD-USGov (and seems reasonable - this is a major propaganda event, surely there will have been Turkish, British, and American govt photogs all snapping away).

The internetsource http://www.inetres.com/gp/military/cv/inf/BMD-1.html states that the image was taken by an US Army employee but most likely this is not true.

  •  Keep Why do you think it's not true? Because you couldn't find it? That's hardly conclusive; just over the last few months the army.mil web site lost all of its images entirely.

    • Well, images from http://www.inetres.com are often tagged as US-Army image although they were not taken by an US-Army-emplyee. Images of quite modern russian vehicles are extremely rare to be found on US-Army-sites. The evidence is not, that I could not found it, but there several other aspects that make the source doubtful. According to COMMONS:Licencing primary source should be provided, this is especially in this case important.

Even a date of publication wouldn't matter, Bulloz is French, Michel too. And French copyright law got 70 pma. sугсго 14:06, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I doubt there was 70 pma copyright on photography in France in the 1880's. If there was any copyright-like protection for photography, it probably only lasted for 10 or 20 years, so that it expired way before present legislation was introduced. My French is not good enough to search for legal history, but applying present rules to the old stuff is likely to be an anachronism. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 15:13, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Directive 2006/116/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Directive 93/98/EEC are both retroactive, if the work was protected on 1 July 1995 in any EU member. German law protect works by French authors like German works. German copyright law is retroactive and knows the 70 pma rule since 1965. This photo ist protected in every member of the EU. sугсго 19:43, 18 February 2009 (UTC) btw: You are not believing in retroactive copyright law, do you?[reply]

You missed the French war time extensions (about 15 years for WW 1 & 2), in fact they had 64,9 pma and the copyright law of Spain - 80 pma since 1879; the copyright restoration applied if the work was copyrighted in any EC-member on 01.01.9.84.44.176.79 08:49, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Taken by Jacques Ernest Bulloz (died 1942); in 1995 France changed it copyright law retrocativly to 70 pma. Will be PD 2013, but not now. sугсго 14:19, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delete Unfortunately, the 70 years apply within the EU for basically all images, regardless of whether a previous copyright term had already expired. EU directive 93/98/EEC re-copyrighted such works if they were copyrighted in at least one EU member on 1995-07-01. The problem is that Spain (an EU member) was a member of the Berne Convention since 1887, had a copyright term of 80 years p.m.a. from 1879 until 1987 (still active for pre-1987 works), had a very low threshold of originality, and additionally the rule of the shorter term must not be applied between EU countries (see en:Rule of the shorter term#EU case law, the Phil Collins case). As a result, virtually all such works must be considered copyrighted in Spain on 1995-07-01, and thus they are protected for 70 years after the author's death throughout the EU. Even in France.

Copyright violation of [15] Fram (talk) 15:15, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To elaborate: both the shapes and colours are exactly identical, which seems to be too much of a coincidence. The author has only changed the labels (translated them from English to Dutch), which does not make this his own work but a derivative of a copyrighted work. He has also changed "eigenvector" to "vector", which has a different meaning, but that's a content issue, not a copyright issue. Fram (talk) 15:19, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The use of the country shape in the eigenvector plot is an exact copy of the New York times artwork. That representation does not follow logically from the published data and is likely an artist representation, hence not public domain.
