this is a screenshot of a Wikipedia Italia page uploaded in order to explain a problem to an administrator. If it is a not allowed use of Commons, the page can be deleted; this is my opinion. Obviously, the file is not used by any Wikipedia worldwide. --Decio Mure (talk) 17:27, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
- File seems fine copyright wise, if the pictures have free licenses. But if the file is no longer in use then it should go. -Nard the Bard 04:47, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Yes copyright is OK, but what about using Commons as a repository of screenshots in order to discuss work-in-progress problems about pages designing? And now, the problem is solved, and we still have the screenshot on commons... to serve what purpose? --Decio Mure (talk) 14:42, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- If the file is in use in a wiki talk page then putting it on Commons is not a problem, that's Commons' job, to host images for wikis. Because it is not currently in use though it serves no further purpose. -Nard the Bard 00:56, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

- May ask Capcom whether this logo is free? NeuroWikiTyk (talk) 13:20, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- It's not necessary (and useless, as they will incorrectly say "no"). There are works (among these, simple logos such as this one) that cannot be protected by copyright. It doesn't mean you can use them for anything you like, but you may distribute them at will. --PaterMcFly (talk) 12:09, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

This institution was created in 1922. Postcard is therefore too recent to be automatically PD-old Eusebius (talk) 09:03, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, there is no date on the postcard. I can not be sure that this material is old enough. Though I'm sure that this postcard has been taken before 1950 since a new building has been build in front of it. --Guy Courtois (d) 06:20, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

- Delete per Ogre. The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick (talk) 18:21, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- Keep Several are in use in talk page archives. Mark the images as deprecated or wrong or change their category if you must but it is our job to serve images to our member projects and we cannot delete files in use. Maybe somebody wants to read those archived discussions. -Nard the Bard 07:27, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- These images, for the most part were used in talk pages in discussions about their respective inaccuracy, as such they are forgotten experiments or deprecated in their use, all replaced by File:The British Empire.png. Their present use is not relevant and does not serve an educacional purpose, since those discussions lead to their demise. Also ir should be noted that some editors might not be aware of former discussion and might be tempted to use them to illustrate the British Empire (as can be seen here in a total misreading of the map; and my correction). Further still, and correct me if I'm wrong Red Hat, but maps like File:British Empire Anachronous 8.png were originally uploaded by The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick, who is the author of the detailed File:The British Empire.png, which replaced all others. The Ogre (talk) 12:52, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
DeleteThese maps have been demised, and they are not in use, finally they have been corrected and fixed in aforementioned map, and therefore they fail the test of being useful for an educational purpose.Trasamundo (talk) 00:48, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Kept the majority and deleted one, per Nard the Bard (talk · contribs). Restating what Nard had said, we have a duty to illustrate archives as part of our pursuit towards "editorial transparency". Please place {{Superseded}} templates on the obsolete diagrams. Blurpeace 02:50, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

This is a movie screenshot from the 1951 film "One Summer of Happiness". It is not a "image of the press" nor is it public domain. The copyright of the film is owned by the heirs of Volodja Semitjov and the heirs of Arne Mattsson and will be public domain in 2066.

Sole contribution by uploader. License is almost certainly wrong. It is possible that this is PD-Art, though, judging by subject matter and style.

- In a real life in Ukraine in this case problems with the copyright are not available. Medal is very simple. Portrait of the wine maker Leo Golitsyn (1845 - 1915) and a simple text on a circle. The probability of claims under the copyright to Commons equals 0 %. This photo used in Wiki, its removal will worsen article. I think that the photo should be kept. --George Chernilevsky talk 20:02, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
- The portrait is largely over any creativity threshold for copyright eligibility. Commons is not a repository of media which are safe to use because nobody would complain, it is a repository of freely licensed media. Using unfree images on a Wikipedia, when outside fair use policies, is against the very aim of the Wikimedia projects, and it doesn't help. I am sure you understand that. --Eusebius (talk) 20:35, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Oh! I still think that it is necessary to keep this photo. I will try to explain.
- 1. An example. The car design is protected by the copyright, however a photo with car is the copyright of the photographer. We have a similar case here. It is not the exact drawing, it is already author's photo, a composition with this medal.
- 2. Medal is derivative work too, as the author cannot be personally familiar with Golitsyn.
- 3. I do not consider this medal as product of high art, it is mediocre enough work for applied use as award.

You probably have a permission to publish this photo in media, you certainly don't have the right to release it under a free license, therefore authorizing anyone to reuse it for any purpose, including commercial use and derivative works.

Image for the press. Usually says "free use", but not in the "free use for everything" context grillo (talk) 02:08, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- The copyright holder says "free use", period. And, as you know, "fri" in Swedish means both free as in freedom and free as in free lunch. No restrictions whatsoever are stated on the page where the image is taken from, so if the copyright holder minds (which I doubt that he does) he would never stand a chance in court. Armigo (talk) 07:00, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Free images that are for the press are usually only free for usage in the press, and nothing else. Since you probably understand Swedish, also see sv:Wikipedia:BF#Pressbilder. See also the introduction text at Commons:Licensing. Just stating on a web site that the images can be used freely by the press (or by anyone else for that matter), isn't enough. /grillo (talk) 16:15, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- If the copyright holders have stated that the image is free then that's their statement and that's what they have to stick to. It is a strange notion that it should be our duty to start emailing people encouraging them to be more restrictive, which happened in a recent similar case. If someone in retrospect regrets releasing an image it is unfortunate for them but it is simply not our problem, and no court would blame us for it. Armigo (talk) 15:02, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

derivative work. Eusebius (talk) 08:29, 7 March 2010 (UTC) Same here:

- File:SMP59Corvette.jpg Shows (with below) example of transition from SMP to AMT.
- File:AMT59Mercury.jpg Same as above.
- File:AMT57TBird.jpg Show example of instructions for a styling model not seen on model itself.
- File:Solido1975.jpg Catalog appearances are important too. Since this has the date and the copyright is "registered" it should be romoved.
- File:MPCCougar.jpg What did MPC kits look like? This is an example. (Which should be removed).
- File:SchucoPiccoloBus.jpg German Shuco's packaging was quite colorful with or without bus.
- File:LoneStarBus.jpg Packaging here shows competition with other brands like Corgi and Dinky.
- File:SchucoMercedesBus.jpg No just the bus alone, but what did it look like on the shelf? Well, there is not other way to get a picture of this bus except within the package because I'm not taking it out!
- File:Husky Auto City BMW.jpg Shows what Huskies looked like after purchased by Mattel !
- File:Politoys Iso Rivolta.jpg Politoys packaging is important - and with model. Note here that the boxes don't carry any particular logo, photo, or script that appears copyrighted. I think this one could be safely removed from this list. I don't think there is copyright violation here.
- File:Politoys M-series brochure.jpg M brochure was simplistic and to the point compare to Solido 1975, but except for the APS, there is not a logo or particular script. I think this falls in the same category as the Iso Rivolta.
I didn't nominate the pictures where the subject is the model itself, not an illustration. --Eusebius (talk) 08:40, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- I disagree with the requests to delete this (these) pictures. In collection of diecast and other model cars the packaging is just as important as the model itself, sometimes the packaging is more important. A car in the original package is worth much more than the car itself. Sometimes the packaging shows a photograph of the car which makes the subject even more intriguing. Collectors want to know what the packaging looked like, not just the model itself. How models have been packaged over time shows a lot about industry, tastes, and values in different time periods. You'll notice these pictures usually show the car and the package.
- What if I wanted to start a Wiki site on advertising, but couldn't show any of the ads at all from different periods (of course within permits of 'fair use')? It would not make any sense.
- Not many model cars, especially in 1:43 and 1:24 scale from Europe use photographs for the packaging so it makes the toy/model very interesting for the Wikipedia entries for which these pictures are being used. They are extremely instructive. The same goes for pictures of old toy catalogs and brochures. Of course, if these are deemed against copyright law, I would understand, but deleting them would defeat the purpose of many of the articles they adjoin - and showing only the cars themselves in not nearly as interesting or explanatory. See my rationale

- Keep Many different cases, difficult to see what the problem is. Was anything nominated copyrighted? /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 21:36, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
- It is the same problem for all nominated pictures: they are derivative works of illustrations which are copyrightable and for which we have no reason to think that they are free of rights. Comments added by the uploader are related to the educational value of the files, not to copyright issues. --Eusebius (talk) 21:45, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
- The ones that I looked at seemed very {{PD-US-no notice}}. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 21:50, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, you're right then, there are different issues, based on different source countries... --Eusebius (talk) 22:18, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

- DeleteThey all appear to be copyvio, subject to the possibility that there was no notice on the USA examples. I find that hard to believe, though. BTW, the (R) on File:Solido1975.jpg refers to the fact that the trademark was registered (1969, expired, unrenewed 1990), not the copyright. Jim . . . .

- Deletions should not be done based on what someone finds hard to believe. Fact is that noone here has found a (c) mark anywhere. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 15:29, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. --Diego Grez return fire 18:30, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Kept those that are {{PD-US-no notice}}, deleted the others (this includes potential PD-US-no notice; but no date was given). Kameraad Pjotr 16:52, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
Have decided that Wikipedia is not the place for the discussion of toy brands and their packaging since the packaging is so important to understanding how the companies presented themselves and competed with one another. Pictures of the models without packaging just doesn't portray enough information about the companies marketing audiences and goals. Also, it seems the deletion of pictures in doubt was done so capriciously - when no one really knew if they were in copyright violation or not, including myself. So, in my opinion, the proper place for this venue and its discussion is in publishing books or articles in professionally edited outlets where copyrights can be appropriately pursued. I will not be contributing to Wikipedia or Wikipedia Commons any longer, as it is counterproductive to what needs to be shown in complete encyclopedia entries that could give exceptionally good ideas as to what the companies and their products were really like. That simply cannot be done here. --Cstevencampbell (talk) 03:26, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
