image from 1930 needs source info (i.e. photographer) before it can be proclaimed PD-old. All thats needed is that photographer survived 9 more years Lokal_Profil 17:38, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

- But no information is given regarding whether a photographer is mentioned in the book or not. /Lokal_Profil 21:53, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

This image is an incorrectly proportioned, and rarely used flag of Ireland. It doesn't look better beside similarly proportioned flags, it just looks wrong. The correct flag is: File:Flag of Ireland.svg. --Blue-Haired Lawyer (talk) 15:17, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Keep, Flag of Ireland3-2.svg is used on at least 234 pages in 42 projects. Please refer to wiktionary:rarely. --Tryphon (talk) 16:15, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Where did you get that info from? As far as I can see there's only 4 pages on English Wikipedia that use the image and 3 of them are user pages. Blue-Haired Lawyer (talk) 13:14, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- From the check usage tool (there is a tab at the top of the image page). It's true that only four pages use this image on en.wp, but many other projects use it extensively. --Tryphon (talk) 13:34, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- In any case please note that the main reason for proposing deletion isn't that it's rarely used, but that it's incorrectly proportioned. Whoever using it should be. Blue-Haired Lawyer (talk) 13:37, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- But our policy doesn't allow us to delete images that are in use just because they are "wrong". It's up to the various projects to make the decision of using this image or not. --Tryphon (talk) 15:41, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

- In which case I'm starting to wonder why you guys have an deletion request system at all. You might say that it's up to individual projects to use images or not, but it's impossible to delete this image on English Wikipedia because it's not on English Wikipedia.

Unencyclopedic, persons on the photo have no apparent or aserted notability, photo reflects negative perception and defames the entire group of people claiming unproven and questionable source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.10.182.56 (talk • contribs) 06:58, 2009 February 19 (UTC)
- When it comes non-copyright issues, I'm only concerned about the personality rights of the young boy. And not even so much about that as the image is already 16 years old. Other than that, I can't agree with anon's argumentation. With regard to copyright issues, the image lacks a proper combination of source and permission. Samulili (talk) 08:17, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- The image does not a proper combination of source and permission, you mean? It was released under the CC-by-sa by User:Evstafiev. Rama (talk) 10:26, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Right, the image does not have a proper combination of source and permission. On the page it says that the image is self-made by Evstafiev, but User:Evstafiev has not touched the page. Also, there is no link to a page (or an OTRS link) where he gives permission and announces that he is the person took the image. Samulili (talk) 15:57, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- In fact he most likely did: [2]. Further information is all around Template:Evstafiev Mikhail and [3]. Rama (talk) 17:48, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

- I agree that we know for sure that Evstafiev has been a photographer in ex-Yugoslavia in 1992-1993, but there is really nothing that would give strong or even strong-ish evidence that this image is one of his. Unfortunately, the current state of the image and the information given does not meet the standard requirements for an file. Samulili (talk) 16:56, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, and I'd like to add that I checked Evstafiev's remaining and deleted uploads on Commons and on the English Wikipedia, and this image has never been uploaded by him. Samulili (talk) 17:00, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

- keep
- It is not "unencyclopedic" to document a war on the ground, and Commons is not Wikipedia, so the argument is moot anyway.
- The people on the photograph are indeed not notable, as is the case in the vast majority of the images of Commons. This argument is irrelevant.
- The photograph might indeed be read as rather negative to a bunch of undisciplined, unshaved militiamen, but their lack of standards are their own doing; one can hardly assert that the photograph was taken without their full knowledge, so this is how they see fit to appear. User:Evstafiev's perception of these people, negative or otherwise, is 1) in his head, to which nobody has access and 2) irrelevant to how photons impressed the film in his camera. Even having the outmost admiration for these people would not make them look like the 1st regiment of infantry of the Garde Républicaine; maybe proper attire, trimming, shaving, discipline would have, but well, there we are. In any case, this is irrelevant to the status of this image.
- That User:Evstafiev is an "unproven and questionable source" is gratuitously insulting and borders on defamation. Rama (talk) 10:26, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
Delete This image should be deleted because it is clearly in contravention with the Official Policy of Wikimedia Commons. While it is correct that Commons is not Wikipedia, it should be understood that Commons is not Flickr, Pbase, Youtube, or a personal gallery either. This image is eligible for regular deletion under the following criteria that is clearly stated in the Official Deletion Policy of Wikimedia Commons:
A file or page can be listed for deletion on Commons:Deletion requests in the following cases:
- The file is not realistically useful for an educational purpose. Examples of files that are not realistically useful include:
- Private image collections, e.g. private party photos, photos of yourself and your friends, your collection of holiday snaps and so on. There are plenty of other projects on the Internet you can use for such a purpose, such as Flickr. Such private image collections do not become educational even if displayed as a gallery on a user page on Commons or elsewhere.
- Self-created artwork without obvious educational use.
- Advertising or self-promotion.
- Files that add nothing educationally distinct to the collection of images we already hold covering the same subject, especially if they are of poor or mediocre quality.
Wikimedia Commons does not grant exemption from its policies based on the perceived greatness of the author in the eyes of his of her admirers. All that we are presented here is an image of a bunch of weirdos, one of whom the author claims was a "Serb commander". What is the name of that "commander"? What is his rank, "the Commander"? There aren't any ranks visible on his person. What is the name of his unit? What exactly is educational about this image? Thy shall not play with guns, or I shall post your image on Commons, perhaps? Comparison of this below-mediocre shot with the Pulitzer prize winner Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima[5] is an insult to those brave men and to the war photographer who took that image. Comparing it with the images of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib is preposterous - those images have clear origin, including the name of the military unit, the name of the military personnel and their commander. This staged photo-op does not contain any such information nor any other valuable information.
There is an image of a personal, non-military vehicle right behind the group that is in the image. Did those "military men" perhaps drive to their photo-op in their personal car for the alleged prisoner exchange? For all what it is worth, that image could have been taken in someone's front yard in the Midwest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.10.139.252 (talk • contribs) 04:57, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
Delete The whole setting seems to be posed and hence unencylopedic. The image shows only a few guys and a boy who play a weird game for the camera. --Eva K. is evil 00:26, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
- Double non sequitur:
- that the image is posed does not make it unencyclopedic: Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima is posed, for instance, as are a number of images in Category:Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse;
- that it be unencyclopedic would not be an argument for deletion. Commons is not Wikipedia.

Delete I agree with all the above arguments.The photograph illustrating serbs is posed and therefore misleading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.32.209.48 (talk • contribs) 18:30, 20. Feb. 2009 (UTC)
- this photo from same source also "...reflects negative perception..." and is "...a bad representation of one whole nation...": [6] ?? dontworry (talk) 05:47, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
- ps. this photo "...reflects..." etc. [7] too - should we therefore all such documents delete? dontworry (talk) 06:18, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
- No, we should not "all such documents delete", with reference to the documents that you mentioned, because unlike this particular image that should indeed be deleted, the documents you referred to: a) do not put the entire nation on the spot based solely on the ethnic origin, b) have clear historical perspective, context and reference, c) have indisputable source (German Federal State Archives), including the date it was taken and the place.
Keep The reason given for deletion is that the image shows some group or other in a bad light. The Commons is not censored. Though the subjects are clearly posing for the picture it illustrates a bit of military jollity and the attitudes of those involved. --Simonxag (talk) 20:34, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
Delete I agree with the deletion request. I believe the photo is meant to enflame anti-Serb bias. That the photo is posed is not reason in and of itself to be unencyclopedic. I would argue that it is unencyclopedic because the participants in the photo are not identified/verified and cannot be identified/verified as Serbs or of the Serb military. I believe the purpose of the photo is to incite hatred against Serbs as barbaric and warmongering. See how they treat their children?
- the photo don't show babarism, it shows only stupidity - like any multiple votings from the same person on this side! ;-) dontworry (talk) 08:12, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

The uploaded states "Use my iniative and put it under cc-by licence". Obviously this leaves the licensing situation somewhat questionable. I appreciate this was uploaded a good while ago now when I assume the uploader was less familiar with licensing issues. Adambro (talk) 13:24, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

- Also, notice should be taken to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopimi#Kopimi which explains "official" usage of kopimi. Also, look at the license clause for this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kopimi.gif, which hasn't been put up for deletion even though it simply states that; "The copyright holder of this work specifically requests that this work be used for any purpose, including unlimited commercial use and redistribution.". I feel that this image (due to the usage of kopimi on thepiratebay.org) will fall under the same category. Deletion should not be necessary, but changing "Public Domain" to the above statement might be necessary to reflect the correct "licensing" of this image. Everything doesn't fall under a neat category. -- Udoprog 83.168.233.103 10:29, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

- I really don't think it should become an official license on Commons. In fact, I don't even think it is a license. Look at the Kopimi homepage, there is just one line of "legal text" saying: kopimi (copyme), symbol showing that you want to be copied. (the rest of the line only tells you where to put the logo). Compared to the legal work behind the CC licenses for example, I really think it's not enough. --Tryphon (talk) 13:05, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

- Blustering about my needing my head examined is not helpful, and does not sort the issues that need sorting. The license needs to be clarified (since it apparently does not allow derivative work, it's not a free license)... and a permanent link to the image (not an ephemeral one) needs to be given. Absent those things, the image needs to be deleted. Perhaps someone could write the Pirate Bay folk, explaining the issue and asking for verbiage to be sent to OTRS that resolves the license issue, because just slapping another license on it isn't the right approach. ++Lar: t/c 11:54, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

- It's not that simple. If you are truly against copyright, then why don't you just release this under an actual free license, or into the public domain? At least that way the people that you want to reuse it can actually do so without also violating your copyright (regardless of whether you want it or not), and having to be dependent on the chance that you don't change your mind any time in the future and choose to enforce your copyright, which you have never disclaimed. Dominic (talk) 16:35, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- Nobody is trying to protect your copyright, this is in the interest of protecting Wikipedia. As Dominic said, there is already a way to release work that signifies the absence of a license.

- Hmm. The copyright material is a piece of clip art, specifically intended to be sold to be used in making new pictures, like this. In general, if we ran into this image in any other context, I'd argue that we should assume they bought it. In this specific context, though ... yes, I agree there is some grounds for suspicion. :-) --GRuban (talk) 16:13, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

- Recapping: 1)
There was a question about what source the image is from. Further assertion has been made that it comes from PirateBay but no permanent link has yet been given. This needs resolution but seems easy enough to fix by the uploader, if they are so inclined, or another interested party.2) The image was uploaded from a source that uses an "odd license". It's not yet clear that the Kopimi statement/license grants the necessary rights, including the right to create derivative works. Clarification on that is needed, but could be obtained if desired... absent that, the image is not properly licensed... no one has adequately refuted that claim, in my view, although there have been a lot of statements made in this discussion, they don't address the core point that the license is not satisfactory. Thus, deletion is justified on that ground. ("verbiage that resolves the license issue" may or may not). For the record I would love it if the Kopimi permission turns out to be adequate. 3) Finally, and more specifically, the image may not be something the uploader can freely license, because it is apparently a derivative work of material that asserts a copyright that does not allow derivative work. The gorilla image would need to be shown to have been sourced from a source that has a valid free license to it. Which has not been done, as far as I can tell. Any one of these things is sufficient for a finding of delete. Therefore I ask that if these are not resolved soon, this image be deleted (and restored if and when they are). ++Lar: t/c 16:21, 3 March 2009 (UTC)- No, 1) was corrected, there's a static link now. ++Lar: t/c 16:25, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

The inittial file for this mass-deletion request was File:Cumbre.jpg which is, including the filename, taken from http://www.bohemia.cu/2008/05/23/internacionales/cumbre.html. Also the uploads include old files of Fidel Castro that are obvious not the uploadser own work, official portraits with claim of authorship, and so on. The list below is sorted by subjects following my own mind, feel free to resort it. I suspect, that Ycubano is not the author of the images like claimed and that he dont have a permission from the original authors, photographers or holders of copyrights.

- It seems to me that the painter´s name is Bertil Dumm. Dumm was a painter born in 1887 and ended his career as professor at the Royal Academy of Arts the same year that he died, 1942. He is not specifically known as a portrait painter, but for Swedish artists trained in the early 20th century, portait painting was an art mastered by almost all painters. Data on Dumm can be find on standard Swedish Artists´ Dictionaries, e.g. Svenska Konstnärer, Biografisk Uppslagsbok 2002, ISBN 91-973689-8-9.
