converted from a speedy by User:WikedKentaur for "no indication that the author of the poster has released his rights". Uploader changed the originally uploaded cropped image to the full image showing part of the bus stop. There is no usable FOP in Estonia. Túrelio (talk) 11:01, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The picture shows a poster that was posted at a bus stop in Haapsalu, Estonia. It's far from a perfect copy of the poster and I don't think it can be seen as one. The picture is a good illustration of the campaign for Russians in Estonia to apply for Estonian citizenship. Narking (talk) 22:14, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

derivate work of a copyrighted lighting. This image is not de minimis: "if the photograph was taken deliberately to include the poster [the lighting, W.], there is likely to be copyright infringement, and it is no defence to say that the poster [the lighting, W.] was 'just in the background'. If the existence of the poster [the lighting, W.] was the reason the photograph was taken in the first place, copyright infringement cannot be avoided by additionally including within the frame more of the setting or the surrounding area. If the existence of the poster [the lighting, W.] makes the image more attractive, more usable, or liable to cause more than insignificant economic damage to the copyright owner, then a de minimis defence to a copyright-infringement action will probably fail."

This image has a warning that it is protected by copyright because it is a copyrighted image of a building in France, but that the image is allowed if it's an "accessory compared to the main represented or handled subject". In this case, the Eiffel Tower at night (see also our own page on the Eiffel Tower, which describes the copyright situation). The image is named starting with "Eiffel Tower", has the Eiffel Tower in the center, its description starts by mentioning the Eiffel Tower, and it's used in the page on the Eiffel Tower, all of which implies that the Eiffel Tower is not a minor part of the picture. Therefore the image is a copyright violation. (Worse yet, the image has annotations which frame the Eiffel Tower, something which the copyright notice specifically says we are not allowed to do.) You might be able to get away with using this as a picture of the Seine, but it can't be used as a picture of the Eiffel Tower. 208.65.89.204 08:14, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify:I now see the old deletion discussion. The old deletion discussion ended by pointing out that the picture is okay if it's a larger area and isn't mainly a picture of the Eiffel Tower. The problem is that the name, description, usage, and one of the annotations of the picture all basically imply that it is mainly a picture of the Eiffel Tower.
It's also probably legal as fair use (though it seems strange that we'd use EU law to decide that the picture is copyrighted and then bring in American ideas of fair use). 208.65.89.204 08:23, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete, sadly. Let's be honest, this image was shot (and is used even on :en) to show the illuminated Eiffel tower. --Túrelio (talk) 09:44, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In the previous discussions, nobody brought up that the way the image is named, described, presented, annotated, and the articles in which the image is used all indicate that the main subject is the Eiffel Tower. Given this, the claim that the image is okay because it's not mainly about the tower is a blatant lie. 208.65.88.133 04:55, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete The Eiffel tower is in the dead center of the image and is named in the title. It's simply the main feature of this image, even composed with the Seine.--Prosfilaes (talk) 01:45, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete Agreed, it's the main feature of the image. Funny that the image is used to illustrate the copyright ruling on enwiki. Hekerui (talk) 12:06, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep per first time; this is the third time around now. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 12:54, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The second time got two mentions and I have to wonder if it was even properly listed. The only person who said either delete or keep last time was you, so it wasn't much of a discussion.--Prosfilaes (talk) 21:08, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to discuss specifically French case law, there is the decision about postcards of Category:Place des Terreaux that went against Daniel Buren. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 21:30, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And I'm having trouble finding anything copyrighted by him in our pictures of Place des Terreaux, much less his work being the main focus.--Prosfilaes (talk) 15:11, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The whole square: the pavement, the fountains, the stone blocks, the stone columns, and in this connection especially: the lighting. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 15:45, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep I think we have this sort of argument about flags and COAs often. I think the general answer is it is not a problem to have different versions of these things. Just add to the description a note about the 'faults' with the image. It would seem trivial to edit the colours and upload the revision if that is all that is wrong. The other version shown was much smaller too. But where is the official description/definition of the COA, just pointing to someone elses rendition is not really definitive. --Tony Wills (talk) 21:48, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

supposedly copyvio, no way Yukipon has the copyright for Harry Potter. --Don-kun (talk) 16:44, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Thank you for highlighting the possible copyright problems of this image. I have to admit that I was not thinking in those terms when I uploaded it. I have communicated with the Commons moderators who received my forwarded permission statement of license concerning the posting fan arts on Wikimedia. I was informed by them that since the Harry Potter series is a written literature, fan art would be considered as an “interpretation of the description, and [the moderators] would regard it as being releasable under a free license.” Of course, proper attribution is required, and I’m open to suggestions on how to improve the image description.

This image was uploaded specifically for the article on “Slash fiction” under the Fan fiction category. I understand that fan arts are not suitable for most articles on Wikipedia, and I do not believe that fan arts should be allowed indiscriminately. However, the “Fan fiction” category, including the 26 related articles, are probably one of the few places where a ban on derivative works would practically prohibit any image to be uploaded, since the “Fan fiction” category is by nature a group of articles about derivative works.

I do not deny that fan art in general have their legal ambiguities, regardless of whether they are uploaded onto Wikimedia or simply posted on a fan’s blog. Neither am I trying to have the final say about the legal status of fan art, but I think for an article about derivative works, it is appropriate to have the associated images made available.

Consider the articles about human genitals. I believe that the users who uploaded the relevant images for those article are not out to challenge the legality of publically distributing pornographic materials, which unlike fan art, is indisputably illegal no matter where they are posted, but to contribute to the articles in a material way. To ban images of genitals on an encyclopedic article about genitals would be self-limiting, and I believe the same goes for fan arts on articles about Fan fiction. Imagine how uninformative an article about an obscene word (pick any) would be if they are composed of nothing but asterisks.

Another problem concerning the upload of fan arts is the issue of quality. For that reason, I have asked the artist to provide me with the original file to insure best resolution. As a matter of fact, the initial reason why I decided to uploaded this image was because a fellow user had uploaded an unattributed, altered fan art (see Dec. 17, 08 revision history in the Slash fiction article) that I recognized to be Yukipon’s. I contact her and offered to either take off or replaced her altered work. Yukipon agreed, but recommended this piece to be uploaded instead. So for those who are concerned with random uploads of fan art by amateurs (not to disparage anyone’s artistry,) Yukipon is a well-known Harry Potter fan artist whose works are not only frequently emulated, but also has fifteen fanzines made available in Japan since 2002. I think her works are as good as it gets for an article on Slash fiction.

This is not to say that articles in the “Fan fiction” category should be flooded with fan arts. As any encyclopedic article goes, images should be allowed as far as they are useful to the article, and I encourage careful selection of any images that are uploaded. But I believe that a fan art of the slash fiction genre is surely no stretch to being relevant on a page about slash fiction.

I hope the above arguments make a good case for keeping this image.Gentle taipan (talk) 05:16, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion ist not about quality or the use of fan art in wikimedia projects. (well, maybe er... Snape (?) should look happier) I would be glad if we could use some more fan art. But in my oppinion, and thats how we handle it in the german wikipedia, fan art cannot be used because of the character is protected. And all of Harry Potter is protected, a picture too, espacially if it looks like he is described in the books and you name him Harry Potter (maybe there would be no problem if you've just said that its a random magician or such). For illustration of these articles you could only use original creations of yours or other who give a permission for a free licence. (I hope my English is good enough ^^) --Don-kun (talk) 18:08, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As HP is also depicted in canon visual media (book covers and films), i think that i have to agree that this is a copyvio.Yobmod (talk) 12:26, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Would you really consider book covers canon? (Seeing as all characters, object etc are depicted in very different ways on different publications)... The films can hardly be considered canon, in that they rape the canon from the books. Xhandler (talk) 12:56, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Whether they are canon or not is not the point, they are copyrighted original works, so this image is a copyright violation. People are paid to create licenced works based on Rowlings descriptions, hence i don't think that they are intepretations of the text is a defence.Yobmod (talk) 09:09, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to description, Camera Operator was TGS TECHNOLOGY . Therefore the picture was not taken by US Gov' Schlendrian (talk) 20:21, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also fits for File:UGM-27 Polaris launched HMS Revenge.jpg --Schlendrian (talk) 20:31, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The US government does a lot of work through contractors—it doesn't necessarily mean the resulting works aren't in the public domain. In this case, the DOD site in question says they would indicate if something were copyrighted ("Generally speaking, nothing on this site is copyright (Defense Department imagery and unclassified information is usually deemed to be in the public domain) but if in doubt you agree to examine the Rights datafield for appropriate information. We will make every effort to ensure that any copyrighted works are so noted in the Rights field, but cannot be held responsible if the copyright is not conveyed to us for entry."). They don't in this instance. From what I can tell TGS Technology was some sort of government logistics contractor (like EG&G, who took many of the nuclear explosion photos, but they are still works of the federal government). I really don't think it's worth worrying about. --98.217.14.211 01:38, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete It is worth worrying about because it is not work of an US governmental worker but of a contractor. We have had this discussion several times and there was always the same result: Not in the public domain - which is correct. --High Contrast (talk) 10:15, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's not neccessarily a reason for deletion. I'm however worried about the license. Has Jens Pattke just coloured the image? In that case it's a derivative of [1] (last page) and is probably copyrighted. /Lokal_Profil 18:53, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No. Jens Pattke MADE the GIF-coloured image. About the BW-image, I can not say anymore, about the exact license. This was written at the source. Anyhow, it was an official copy of the law for public use. --Patrick (talk) 22:49, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This doesn't make it free though. /Lokal_Profil 15:18, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As I said it: As far as I remember, the license for free use was at the source and I thought, it was checked, when it was uploaded for the first time. It doesn't make sense to check a license, when the source is gone. Anyhow, the B/W-image is not in use anymore, so if you have a problem, you can delete it, but there should be a protocoll to be sure, that licenses are checked immediately after upload and not years after, when it is not possible anymore and nobody is remembering about the circumstances. Maybe you can talk about this problem with the other Admins ;-) The coloured image was made by Jens Pattke and he gave it for free use.

Flickr uploads by central_vietnam

[edit]

Some of these photos, e.g. that of Prime Minister Abhisit, are very unlikely the work of the original uploader. Others are mostly low resolution and/or missing EXIF data, suggesting they were lifted off the web. I have contacted central_vietnam on Flickr but have not received a response. Also somewhat disconcerting is that most of these photos were uploaded here by User:Jarcje right after they were uploaded at Flickr. --Paul_012 (talk) 10:46, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Flickr uploads by boonkumnoun

[edit]

These images are very different in nature from boonkumnoun's other uploads at Flickr, varying in resolution, missing EXIF data or taken with a different camera from the user's other uploads, suggesting that they are not boonkumnoun's own creations. Incidentally (?), they were all uploaded here by User:Jarcje. Note that Image:King bhumibol of thailand.jpg and Image:Bhumibol-Sirkit-1.jpg, which were also uploaded from boonkumnoun's Flickr page, have already been deleted as copyright violations. I have previously contacted boonkumnoun on Flickr inquiring about these photographs, but he was not truthful to me, claiming to have taken the deleted photos himself.

Uploads by Jarcje

[edit]

These images are of variable resolution and have missing EXIF data or that which disagree which User:Jarcje's other contributions, all of which are taken with a Canon Powershot A95. Most suspect here is the photograph of Prince Dipangkorn, which is very unlikely taken by a regular user outside of official capacity.
