The uploader cannot be Jose Sousa since he says here he is Andre Simmons. This needs OTRS permission but none exists. He also uploaded other images from jsousa's account here. Leoboudv (talk) 03:29, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is a private photograph, the single upload and only edit by it's uploader (from 31 July 2006) which is nowhere used (except as a sample of an image with no educational value). Hence, I suggest to delete it because it does not fall into COM:SCOPE. --AFBorchert (talk) 00:06, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I highly doubt that this is own work: if it was legit, it would be bigger than 53×67 px. I looks a lot like a thumbnail image found on some pharmacological website.

Esperanto: Eta rastruma flago de Esperanto.

La proporcioj ne konformas al tiuj, kiuj estas priskribitaj en iu fonto trovebla (TTTe mi trovis nur citaĵojn el unu fonto), en la vikipedia artikolo, kaj ekzempligitaj per aliaj bildoj ĉe la Komunejo.

Kun tiuj aliaj proporcioj ekzistas streka versio: File:Flag of Esperanto.svg. Komparu: la streka, la diskutata.

Tamen la artikolo eo:Esperanto-flago mencias, ke la flago de la Esperanto-Klubo en Bulonjo-ĉe-Maro havis iom aliajn proporciojn. Nu, tiu ĉi rastruma bildo ne havas la literon "E". Ĉu do ĝi konformas ekzakte al neniu flago?

Русский: Малюсенький растровый флаг эсперанто.

Пропорции не совпадают с теми, что описаны как рекомендованные Всемирной ассоциацией эсперанто в одном (единственном) источнике, который я нашёл во Всемирной паутине, цитатах из него и википедийных статьях, и которые представлены другими изображениями на Викискладе.

С теми, отличающимися, пропорциями есть векторная версия: File:Flag of Esperanto.svg. Сравните: векторная, обсуждаемая.

Однако статья eo:Esperanto-flago упоминает, что флаг эсперанто‐клуба Булонь-сюр-Мер использовал несколько другие пропорции. Ну, на этом растровом изображении нет буквы «E» (правда, оно для отчётливой буквы «E» слишком маленькое)… Представляет ли оно в точности хотя бы какой‐то существовавший флаг? В любом случае, если нужно, можно создать векторную версию, и использовать её для всех размеров (хотя с буквой «E» при таком размере может получиться некрасиво…).

  •  Keep it is not the same image; it may or may not be better to have the background removed, but our users should have that option.--Prosfilaes (talk) 22:30, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - It's not the same image. "it may or may not be better to have the background removed, but our users should have that option" - agree. So I choose to have the option of the face without the chain wire fence and what looks a bit like a row of portable toilets behind her. I removed the background for use in the infobox on the en:wiki article. In that context, the only relevant aspect of the photo is her face. Just a comment/question : there are numerous "same" images on Commons which are variations of cropping only, but they are not routinely listed for deletion.

Yeah, you're probably right. Most of this Flickr user's pictures were taken with a Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS, but this one comes from a phone camera, and I just saw [1] which is definitely a derivative work. Pruneautalk 10:55, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image failed review. This was uploaded by former Admin jkelly on a GFDL license but such a license is not used on flickr. It was also found to be 'ARR' on October 2, 2006 according to Admin MGA73 here Since this is an orphaned flickr account, I agree with MGA73 that a DR is appropriate here since there is no possibility of OTRS permission and no GFDL license on flickr. Leoboudv (talk) 20:44, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

After somthing was archived on my talkpage the link was not correct so I fix'ed it. The reason i said we should not just pass it per jkelly is that he was not the original uploader (en:User:Sydne is). --MGA73 (talk) 21:28, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Images of Skylu

[edit]

Skylu (talk · contributions (views) · deleted user contributions · recent activity (talk · project · deletion requests) · logs · block log · global contribs · CentralAuth) uploaded a bunch of copyvios in October and November 2008. Many of them were deleted on the spot and the user was eventually blocked twice. However, a number of their uploads are still on Commons. Some are obviously copyvios, others are highly doubtful. Given the record of this user, I suggest we delete the whole lot. Pruneautalk 08:44, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The copyright status of the image is not known because we do not know the term of Mali copyright, especially on stamps. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 06:06, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delete Mali gained its independence in 1960, so it's no more than 50 years old. I can't tell whether it says 1960 or 1980 on the stamp, and if the earlier, if that's the year of publication. A quick search says that Mali retains many laws from the French colonial period, so I'm going to bet that copyright law is life+70.--Prosfilaes (talk) 20:19, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I checked the article at http://www1.voanews.com/english/news/a-13-2005-08-01-voa28.html and there was no images used at all. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 08:33, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't make this image up. In August 2005, when this article was first published, it did include the image being reviewed for deletion. We are aware that VoA content is in public domain. Just because their archive of the article does not include the image of the man in question, it does not mean that Bill Threlkeld had appeared publicly and made public statements on the substance that was reported in the sourced article. Therefore, I believe he made an appearance in public where his image was captured and should be retained by the public domain.
Also, it should be noted that peer review was being excercized when this image was uploaded. There were no red flags then, and I see no reason why there should be red flags now. Edbrown05 (talk) 22:24, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I know VOA content is in the public domain. However, with the article not showing the picture anymore, it would be hard to verify it. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 03:54, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to the source the image is from the Library of Congress and uploaded here with {{PD-USGov}}. As most LOC content is not created by the United States Government I tried to find searching the LOC P&P division bring nothing, searching for a country studie of Tanzania (where such images sometime come from - unfree images in most cases) only shows, that there is no country studie. I cant find the image at the LOC and strongly doubt that it is created by the USGovernment. The source information Library of Congress doesnt say anything about the copyright and especially it not justifies a {{PD-USGov}}. Martin H. (talk) 19:02, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, this is clearly a derivative work and the uploader has not obtained the permission of the copyright holder(s) of the photographs shown. — Cheers, JackLee talk 19:51, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be the copyright holder(s) of the four photographs of trains or the copyright holder of the poster (if not the same person) that is needed? Regardless of this, the image is probably a derivative work as I now sort-of understand it (I didn't at the time of upload) and I have not attempted to find the details of the copyright holder to ask permission of. Thryduulf (talk) 17:30, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think it would be the copyright holder(s) of the four photographs. The layout of the poster is very simple, so I think it's arguable that the person producing the poster gained no additional copyright in the layout. Not realizing that you're creating a derivative image is a common problem. Soon after I started volunteering here at the Commons, I uploaded an image of a TV personality that I had cropped from a freely licensed image on Flickr showing people in a bar watching the chap on TV. Another editor then pointed out that the TV programme was subject to copyright, so unless the copyright owner had given permission for a still from the programme to be uploaded to the Commons, my image was in breach of the copyright in the programme, being merely derived from it. — Cheers, JackLee talk 17:57, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free: user-made reproductions (derivative works) of presumably copyrighted municipal coats of arms and flags. No relevant PD-Gov exemption in Macedonian national law (copyright law exempts from copyright only "an official text from the legislative, executive or judicial sphere and their translation when published as an official text" [5] Fut.Perf. 06:52, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose Users made these coats of arms and they are free. The law does not prohibits reproduction of coats of arms, if that was case, even the state COA would not be used.--MacedonianBoy (talk) 23:22, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If these were made by users on the basis of pre-existing official designs (as they evidently were), they are "derivative works" and therefore don't become copyright-free simply because they were self-made. They inherit any copyright restrictions on the original designs. If you want to show they are Public Domain, you need to demonstrate that each of them is part of "an official text" in the sense of the law I cited. They might well be, but we don't know – the mere fact of them being used on some municipal website, for instance, doesn't mean anything. They might still be legally copyrighted by the municipality or whoever. Fut.Perf. 20:47, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The situation about the coats of arms and the flags of the municipalities in Macedonia is like this. The authors of the COA and the flags leave the copy right, but no law or municipal statute regulates this issue of copyrighting and they may be considered as free to use. The only thing that is regulated is that whether the COA or the flag is unique and they are registered in the Register of the flags and COA of the municipalities of the Republic Macedonia. We know that this body only collects and approves the COA and flags, but I have never found about the copyrights. As the state flag and COA, these municipal coats of arms are allowed to be reproduced since the original author has left the rights. I have listed all law ands act and no where found about this issue, maybe because they are free to use. The law that you are referring does not include flags and COA. --MacedonianBoy (talk) 11:02, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

FOP for buildings only in Finland, author most likely still living A333 (talk) 13:20, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Freedom of panorama is not exclusively for buildings only. FOP Finland: "Published works of art may according to article 25 also be used e.g. as illustrations to scientific texts or criticism." and Finlex: "Julkistetuista taideteoksista saa ottaa tekstiin liittyviä kuvia arvostelevaan tai tieteelliseen esitykseen;". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Siipikarja (talk • contribs)
That's correct but images on commons should be free to use for any purpose. Of course, we might upload this image to local wikipedias and use it under fair use/sitaattioikeus. A333 (talk) 10:00, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Fair enough. But let's just wait for the final verdict for the categories that fall in to the same FOP deletion group. For example category Statues in Finland. The copyright law of Finland lags behind of common practice of the Internet era. Sounds a bit weird that one would not be able to freely distribute pictures that he / she has taken from public objects such as statues that have been deliberately erected for the public to view — without a fee. Is there an ongoing debate on the FOP deletion issue somewhere in Commons? --Siipikarja (talk) 10:56, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment About pictures found in Category:Statues in Finland: If there are any pictures of copyright-protected statues, they naturally should be deleted. But note that copyright is expired if the author has died more than 70 years ago, so pictures of statues older than that can be freely distributed (provided that the photographer has also published the image under a free license). And whether the Finnish copyright act lags behind or not, is an issue for another discussion. But as long as the law is such we have to obey it on Commons. --Apalsola tc 11:45, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Oh yes, I didn't take into account that 70 years rule. I would appreciate if the person who deletes the image from Commons could move the image to local Wikipedias together with the attached information template and some sort of disclaimer that the image was originally posted to Commons but moved due to copyright issues. Thanks. --Siipikarja (talk) 10:38, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
