Not really a gallery, out of scope. [Speedy by User:Techman224converted to regular NfD by Inductiveload (talk) 01:47, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep (as creator/uploader) sorry, I forgot to add the images to this page. There is now a gallery of all the apple names and the relevant images (100 of these). Sorry for the delay Inductiveload (talk) 01:47, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep this is clearly educational material showing apple drawings out of the same source. We should be proud to have them in our project!!--Symposiarch (talk) 09:59, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is a file from Category:Flickr images not found-old, it was hidden from Flickr before FlickreviewR could verify its license. Additional facts:

  • The Flickr author klairechen has zero (0) images visible on her Flickr stream.
  • I sent the Flickr author an email on 2010-01-08 with no response.
  • There are no internet archives of any of her Flickr photos: [1]
  • The photo is used on one page: [2]
  • There are 10 other files [3] from this Flickr user on Commons uploaded by Flickr upload bot, this is the only image from this Flickr author manually uploaded by User:Oxford St..

It is my opinion that this image should be kept but since there is no direct proof of a free license I think it needs to go through the DR process. Captain-tucker (talk) 01:11, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Keep I think this should be kept since there is evidence some of the flickrowner's photos were once free...but she has hidden all those passed images today. People change licenses all the time. If the flickr owner does not respond to the captain's messages, it would be a kind of indirect admission too that it was once free. If the image was stolen, a copyright owner would naturally complain here. AGF is appropriate here. --Leoboudv (talk) 03:26, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep Yes. Had tht Flickr user said that the image was never free then we should perhaps delete. But we have no indication it was unfree so I think we could keep. --MGA73 (talk) 08:32, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Although this misses {{PD-Sweden}} by one day, apparently http://www.orebro.se/5025.html says that the image is free to use with attribution. I don't speak Swedish, so I can't verify this. Additionally, we need to be sure that the image is free for use in the USA. Stifle (talk) 22:06, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What Örebros stadsarkiv says on their web page is:

Du kan skriva ut eller spara ner bilderna om du så önskar. De får användas fritt för privat bruk och för icke kommersiellt ändamål förutsatt att du vid publicering anger "Bildkälla: Örebro stadsarkiv/fotograf". Om du använder bilder i tryckt material skicka ett exemplar till stadsarkivet. Vid kommersiell publicering, kontakta Stadsarkivet.

That translates to:

You can print or download the images if you wish. They can be used freely for private use and for non-commercial purposes provided that you attribute "Image source: Örebro stadsarkiv/photographer". If you use images in printed materials send a copy to stadsarkivet. For commercial publication, contact Stadsarkivet.

Contains a Windows Vista icon. The uploader claims PD-ineligible (yet also says it's a screenshot that contains parts of a copyrighted program).

This file failed Flickrreview on 2007-01-05 and 2009-07-24 being licensed both times as CC-BY-NC-ND. It it currently licensed on Flickr as All Rights Reserved. The Flickr owner uploaded this image to en-wiki on 2006-01-12. I contacted the Flickr owner about this image and he said that when he uploaded it to Flickr and en-wiki it was licensed using CC-BY-NC-ND. It was transferred to Commons by Snowdog on 2006-12-30. All of the images on the Flickr authors photostream are either ARR or CC-BY-NC-ND. There is an archive [4] of this image from 2006-10-14 which lists the image as being licensed as the Flickr owner said CC-BY-NC-ND. The image is used on 15 pages.

  •  Delete I agree with the nominator that this should be deleted. There is no evidence it was ever free enough for Commons. --Leoboudv (talk) 03:23, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete I am the owner of the image in question and I confirm the licensing info above and agree that this image should be deleted from the Commons (29 Jan 2010)
  • Question Did the Flickr user upload it to enwiki? If yes was CC-BY-NC-ND the only license? Not GFDL perhaps? --MGA73 (talk) 08:29, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Have now been informed that the original license on enwiki was {{Cc-by-2.5}} but that is only relevant in uploader on commons is also the user on Flickr. --MGA73 (talk) 08:39, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • It seems that Flickr user uploaded image in size 240×240 to enwiki - see Original upload log on image "Author: David Kirkby (me)" + the note Captain-tucker gave "he said that when he uploaded it to Flickr and en-wiki". So that should be safe to keep. The higher resolusion does however not seem to be free. --MGA73 (talk) 21:39, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep the original user gave the image to us under a CC-BY-2.5, according to Captain-tucker ("I contacted the Flickr owner about this image and he said that when he uploaded it to Flickr and en-wiki") and MGA73. It's too late for a courtesy deletion.--Prosfilaes (talk) 13:01, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kept. Uploader released image under acceptable Creative Commons license. Even if other versions are available under more restrictive terms it doesn't revoke current license.

Only a campaign against images which were uploaded by someone working for gizmodo, watermarked with gizmodo's logo. If they owned the rights to these images, would they be uploading them with their employer's watermark? Probably not. --Terrillja (talk) 17:07, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Terrillja, if you spent the time to even look at the flikr user's webpage [5] you would clearly see they claim to have taken the pictures. Do you contest a conspiracy? I think you need to refresh your memory about the "good faith principle" and about watermarks... endless people upload with watermarks every day, yes they should't, but it's a common niubi mistake. Don't bite the newbies. Cheers, Nesnad (talk) 10:06, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

derivative works violation, image contains copyrighted elements such as the software with no evidence of permission from apple Terrillja (talk) 02:39, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • The user interface software is not the "subject" of this image, but the iPad and the act of manipulating its touchscreen. The hand with the finger is the main subject of the image and the focus of the viewers attention — made evident by the fact that the camera is focused on the finger. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 05:27, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The image does not contain any copyrighted elements (see Elements of graphical user interfaces) of the user interface, what we see is thumbnails of possibly copyrighted photos, all of them shown in de minimis — as emphasized by the fact that most of them are out of focus.
  • question:ok so I'm not sure about this one some of the others are pretty obvious but this one is a tough call. Could you explain a little more or perhaps walk us through the derivative works flow chart for the reasoning on this? Andyzweb (talk) 05:59, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Response: The minimalistic user interface shown does not contain any copyrightable graphical elements, like icons, buttons, drop-down lists (like the ones you can see if you zoom in to File:IPad-02.jpg). The only UI element I can see is the time 11:37 AM on the top of the screen. You cannot copyright the idea of thumbnails on a black background.
  •  Delete I am going to say that this is a derivative works violation. We have no idea what the license is on the thumbnailed images is and they do not meet the threshold of originality. Andyzweb (talk) 15:50, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted, after corresponding with Buchanan over FlickrMail, I have confirmed that the thumbnails are indeed not his work. Buchanan's original statement was, "Yeah, they were the sample photos provided on the iPad. Not taken by me." De minimis is not applicable. Blurpeace 05:34, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence of claimed copyleft at source document MPF (talk) 10:21, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There was another source for the picture which I added instead. My friend at www.palmpedia.net (member name HK22) was given a set of photos by the photographer, one of which he scanned and uploaded to http://www.palmpedia.net/wiki/index.php/Beccariophoenix_alfredii

On that link you will find his contribution. He was given permission by the photographer to use them, and he gave me the permission. I don't know then what the exact wording for the license would be though, so rather than deletion, is someone would like to tell me what the name for the license is if the original photographer gave permission to someone to distribute the pictures, and that person then distributed a photo to me and gave me permission to use it.

Changed speedy to DR: "Taipei City owns the copyrights" User:Πrate. Claimed permission (law) File:P02D1001-19811019-F000-02.pdf - lets get this cleared once and for all. (Sadly I cant read the law - but an edit war does not help). MGA73 (talk) 15:58, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All that law says is to just how draw the city flag. The main copyright law is at this page in English. If the date matters, 70 Minguo translates to 1981. When the user first put the image up for speedy, it was tagged as PD-self. After he tagged it the first time, I saw the template about the ROC law, so I changed it to that. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 16:05, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So the design is from 1981? If so it is can't be PD-old by "death of author + 70 years" and "{{PD-ineligible}}" is not valid I suppose? Any other reason why the "logo" is not protected by copyright? --MGA73 (talk) 16:12, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Logo described and detailed in ROC law. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 16:16, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
None of laws or articles say it is in public domain. --百楽兎 (talk) 14:55, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There is no mention in the law that states only national laws, it just says "The constitution, acts, regulations, or official documents." It also states "The term "official documents" in the first subparagraph of the preceding paragraph includes proclamations, text of speeches, news releases, and other documents prepared by civil servants in the course of carrying out their duties." User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 16:58, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"Official documents" doesn't include the logo. --百楽兎 (talk) 01:41, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
But it includes a construction guide on how to draw the flag and seal. The laws make no exemptions to symbols or anything. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 03:38, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kept per Zscout370. If File:P02D1001-19811019-F000-02.pdf is PD according to ROC law, then I don't see why a user-created derivative of it would not also be free. Ilmari Karonen (talk) 15:47, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No educational use, poor description, no use on projects since upload. Missvain (talk) 13:17, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • "The expression “educational” is to be understood according to its broad meaning of “providing knowledge; instructional or informative”."[1]
  • "Not all images for example are realistically useful for an educational purpose, and an image does not magically become useful by arguing that “it could be used to illustrate a Wikipedia article on X”, where X happens to be the subject of the file."[2]
  • "Self-created artwork without obvious educational use."[3]
  • "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."[4]
  • "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."[5]
  • "Photographs of nudity including male and female genitalia are sometimes uploaded for non-educational motives, and such images are not exempt from the requirement to comply with the rules of Commons' scope. If the images are of demonstrably inferior quality, or add nothing educationally distinct to the stock of such images we hold already, they may fail the test of being realistically useful for an educational purpose."[6]
  • "A balance has to be struck between accepting useful media files with legitimate educational content that some may find offensive, and not allowing Commons to be used as a general-purpose media-hosting service (like Flickr, Photobucket, YouTube, etc.), without regard for the project's stated goals. The purpose of Commons is to serve as a media repository, a reliable resource of useful, open source media content; organized and comprehensive in coverage (with accurate file descriptions/information), educational, and intended both for use by Wikimedia projects, and as a public service freely accessible to everyone."[7]
I can find some higher quality nude or anatomy based images that do not have things "in the way". I also think that the description is totally uneducational and is obviously non-neutral. On a side note, I'd kick the ass of the guy who ever uploaded a photo of my body, head cut off or not, onto the internet for the world to use. I wonder if she even knows! Missvain (talk) 14:00, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I can also find pictures of the Statue of Liberty that are better than other ones. Strangely no-one would ask for the dletion of the not-so-good pictures of such subjects... but would when it concerns nudity ! Why that ? --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 14:45, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delete Image made in private location and has no model release that verifies consent. The image is poor quality and has no obvious education value. Can easily be replaced in most households if someone actually needs a picture of a nude female holding an electric hair dryer. FloNight♥♥♥ 00:35, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete per FloNight. In the absence of a compelling belief there is some sort of unique and significant educational value to this, the lack of a model release is a cause for concern. It's actually always a cause for concern, and should be taken into consideration; but in a case like this, I don't even see a compelling reason to keep or agonize over the decision in any way. -Pete F (talk) 01:27, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete per no hint of model consent. This was obviously taken in a private place, and without proof the model agreed to this, it needs to go. Courcelles (talk) 08:44, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re-uploaded copyvio in 2009 File:Cute vulva of korean girl4.jpg. I also disagree with the closing admin regarding identifiability. If the ex(?)-"boyfriend" later uploaded the cropped head elsewhere on the web, it could be easily connected, achieving an embarrassment campaign. Thus I think the vd voter's expectation of consent is reasonable in this case. 99of9 (talk) 10:47, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See my talk page request to the administrator closing the last deletion discussion to reconsider. [7]. The image was taken in a private location (bedroom), and she does not appear to be aware that the image is being taken. I truly hope that the women in the image gave consent for it to be uploaded, otherwise we are exploiting her, and inviting other people to do it, too. That this image can be easily be replaced and is not in use means that we have no compelling reason to keep it since she has given no indication of consent.

  • Delete. I came here yesterday to add a delete comment just after the last nomination was closed, so I'm glad to see it has been re-opened. This woman is arguably identifiable to people who know her. There's no indication that she gave consent to be photographed, or even knew it was happening. She's engaged in private business (drying her hair) in a private area (what looks like a bedroom), and the image is not being used and has no educational value. There's therefore no reason to keep it, and every reason to delete it. SlimVirgin (talk) 11:22, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Per de minimis, the amount of resolution and the amount of detail in cropped portions of the image is irrelevant. What matters is the total composition of the image.

This is licensed PD-ineligible, but it's a part of a copyrighted composition and as such a derivative work. User:NH is listed as the sole author although the line is composed by members of the RHCP, not the user. Jafeluv (talk) 21:44, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Verbatim quoting of text fragments does not violate copyright. In particular, quoting one or two lines of the lyrics of song could be allowed in a Wikipedia article. This is a trivial quotation of a musical fragment. A complete score would of course be another thing. /NH (talk) 10:58, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, that falls under fair use, doesn't it? In the English Wikipedia, at least, verbatim text quotes are considered non-free content. That's not allowed in Commons. I don't know how they define the threshold of originality for music compositions, but in my opinion the bass line in question is plenty original enough to be eligible for copyright. I'm not a copyright expert, though. Jafeluv (talk) 12:33, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unused; too bad quality. Quibik (talk) 16:09, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This site has free pictures to choose from; they don't need to be in use to be kept. They are here to be available. This one could be in better focus and without the light reflection. It is not bad quality, although it is possible to imagine a picture of the figurine that was in better focus and without the reflection. It is possible to imagine a photo that shows the entire figurine. It is of a rickshaw. That is why the file has "of an oriental" even though the face looks English. I myself decided not to use it, because I found a better unused picture here to use and because this picture is a little out of focus & has an unpleasant reflection of light on the figurine. It might not do any harm to delete it. ---- Chucky 09:16Z1Feb2010 09:16, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
