The license tag is apparently wrong because "Anny Syme" is the author and the copyright holder but another user transferred by using a tag where is written "I, the copyright holder....". This is not true because the user that has transferred the image is not the copyright holder. A.Ceta (talk) 07:35, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Quality of image, along with this user's other uploads, strongly suggests it was taken from the school's website. I have not been able to pin down an exact source, though it is in the same style as the images at http://www.stpauls.qld.edu.au/09_web/aboutus/history/.

[edit]

COM:DW, requires permission by the artist. Pieter Kuiper (talk) 23:08, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide evidence of permission. It has a CC-attribution license, but the name of the artist is not even mentioned. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 17:05, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The comment I wanted to make here related to what this image would be used for (i.e. a question of scope, though the focus of the image is not great either). I then started thinking the same about all the images in Category:Maker Faire 2009 (199 files) and Category:Maker Faire 2010 (16 files) and Category:Maker Faire 2008 (348 images) and Category:Maker Faire 2007 (5 images) and Category:Maker Faire 2006 (6 images) and in Category:Maker Faire robotics (32 images). Is it possible to find out, 2 years after the Maker Faire 2008 images were uploaded, how many of them are or have been used by other WMF projects? I realise they form part of a Commons category that people can come here and browse after reading the Makre Faire article (I linked to the en-wiki article, but the same applies to other language articles), and the images could be used in other projects or gallery pages here, but the impression is of a lot of images uploaded in the hope that they will be useful to someone (possibly even as a record of a visit to the Faire, rather than a discerning selection of images that will be useful and have an educational purpose). When I upload images I've taken, I try to be a bit more discerning than that and I often decide not to upload something because I know it will be a waste of my time and the time of others. I guess what I am trying to say is whether images on Commons should have a definite purpose, or whether Commons wants to be a complete visual record for all possible events, places and objects (that would be very ambitious)? I know from experience that if you don't keep a tight rein on scope in a collection of millions of items, things can get out of control very quickly. As far as the Maker Faire images go, I would have thought that it would be possible to organise the photographs better, but for that you need good information with each image, something that is not always possible when aggregating a collection of pictures taken by visitors to the event (as opposed to someone carefully making notes as they go round the stalls). Carcharoth (Commons) (talk) 04:19, 27 July 2010 (UTC) I should note here that I've gone through the 2008 images and categorised some of them a bit more and even used some of them on en-wikipedia, but the vast majority were difficult to find uses for. Carcharoth (Commons) (talk) 05:12, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Then submit these cases at COM:UDEL as we have some consensus to follow AGF in cases that predate OTRS. However, in this case it is (at least for me) less a question of trust but a question of attributing the artist. --AFBorchert (talk) 19:43, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think this one should be closed  Keep. Nominator's original objections have been met and he even participated in copying the information (once provided) over to another image of this object[1]. And I have finally figured out why Pieter is so disruptive. It's not that he dogs admins for copyvios. I did a few admins as a test and nobody even noticed, not even the targets. We're not machines, yes we have a process but it takes real people to implement it, and he's trying to use process mechanically without considering the very real feelings of the people in the project. -Nard (Hablemonos)(Let's talk) 10:45, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete I'm uninterested in the politics that brought this image here and am taken aback at the apparent gross misunderstanding of AGF present here and at related discussions. AGF means assuming an action was made with the intent of improving the project. Of course Bastique believed the project would be better with this image and that it was properly documented. AGF doesn't mean assuming an action is correct or competent. When I ask myself whether an email received in OTRS stating "Received permission from artist, onsite for photograph of image to be uploaded under a free license" would be acceptable, the answer is a resounding no. We would require explicit and affirmative assertions from the actual copyright holder. Particularly troubling in this instance is that it is apparently the product of multiple authors ("created by Greenpeace, then modified by James Burgett and Alameda County Computer Resource Center volunteers"). Was the person to whom Bastique spoke authorized to speak on behalf of all authors? What license did they agree to? I find it much more likely that the statement at the time would have been something to the effect of "sure, you can upload it to the Commons" than "I agree it may be freely altered, distributed and used commercially so long as [the copyright holder] is credited". That's not the way people talk, but it's the explicitness we need. I'm not saying the person didn't have authority to license the image; I'm not saying they didn't understand the terms of freeness. I'm saying we haven't been provided sufficient proof one way or another. It's the notion of verifiability over truth. It's the precautionary principle. Эlcobbola talk 15:57, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete Per Elcobbola. I also believe many other images of artistic creations and sculptures exhibited at the fair may be problematic, for similar reasons (e.g. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Maker_Faire_2008_San_Mateo_116.JPG -- given that this was a temporary display, per Freedom_of_panorama#Permanent_vs_temporary, are we not infringing the artist's rights?). I recall a past DR discussion to this effect; the categories really need to be gone through with a fine-toothed comb. --JN466 12:00, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There is no freedom of panorama for artistic works in the US, so it doesn't matter if the display was permanent or temporary. Trycatch (talk) 12:30, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. Freedom_of_panorama#United_States. We would be infringing the artist's rights even if this display had been permanent. I'll nominate it, but it may well only be the tip of the iceberg. --JN466 14:45, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete It is not clear what kind of permission was given, or by whom, or whether that person had the right to give permission to reproduce this work. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 06:03, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. Per the excellent analysis by User:Elcobbola. There were multiple creators. It seems very unlikely that any one person had the right to act for all of them, but even if there was such a person, we have no evidence of such action here.      Jim . . . .

The image doesn't seem free. Reading [2] and [3] they don't allow usage of the logo unless you are a Seventh-Day Adventist Church entity (or has an explicit authorization). Since it was created around 1997 it can't be PD-old, and given the work and symbolism reflected on its Global Identity Standards page, it seems to also pass the threshold of originality.

It seems unlikely that this is the author's own work, with the source being a website (no evidence of permission), and this being a low quality black and white image which would not normally be produced by a camera. CT Cooper · talk 13:31, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

License is clearly wrong, but from what country is this stamp? If it were german, it would be PD, but the currency on it does not look like DM or €. --PaterMcFly (talk) 19:24, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

not a two-dimensional object, PD-old seems wrong Helvetiker (talk) 16:10, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

PD-old clearly applies for the object depicted, so maybe the uploader just made a misstake here in mixing the permission for the picture with the one of the object. Anyway, according to swiss law, the image is PD in either case, because there's no originality involved in creating it. --PaterMcFly (talk) 19:28, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Author unknown. first publication date unknown. Not published in the US before 1923, so unsure copyright status. TheDJ (talk) 18:01, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Keep As the source states: author unknown, first publication date 1923 ("Opnamedatum vanaf 1923"): (Fotonummer SFA022003546). US is irrelevant, license should be "anonymous-EU". I changed it. Therefore Article 38 of the Dutch copyright law is in effect: "1. The copyright in a work of which the author has not been indicated or has not been indicated in such a way that his identity is beyond doubt shall expire 70 years after 1 January of the year following that in which the work was first lawfully communicated to the public. 2. The same shall apply to works of which a public institution, association, foundation or company is deemed the author, unless the natural person who created the work is indicated as the author on or in copies of the work which have been communicated to the public." Hence 1923 + 70 = public domain. Tekstman (talk) 19:08, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • And how do you know in which year the image was 'first lawfully communicated to the public' (first published is not the same as date of creation) ? Besides, US status does apply, all works need to be usable in the United States (where the servers are located) AND in the country of origin. There are 38 other image like this that require review btw, but since we are engaging in a project with Nationaal Archief and Spaarnestad Photo anyways, Multichill will be checking if this material might possibly be saved. TheDJ (talk) 19:31, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • "Opnamedatum vanaf 1923" means publication date 1923, because it says "Opnamedatum vanaf 1923' (first publication date) and 'Opnamedatum t/m Informatie niet beschikbaar' (last publication date not available). Check this with Spaarnestad if you wish. Btw, I would not be surprised if all (or 99%) of the "Het Leven"-material wás published on the date mentioned, because they bought a magazine-archive. Multichill may check this also. US status does only apply as far as that the US copyright regime "inherits" foreign copyrights, which means they accept the European 70+-rule as long as no American work is involved. And those 38 other images should be reviewed here as well, if you believe they are copyvio. Tekstman (talk) 16:10, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • I translate "opnamedatum" as creation date, not publishing date (however likely it might be that publication occurred at that time). Also, per Commons:Hirtle_chart, the rule you quote about pd-70 only applies to foreign material 1st published after 1978. When material was not PD in the country of origin before 1996, then such material is highly unlikely to be PD in the US now. (Basically no 'old' foreign material will go PD between 1996 and 2019 in the United states) TheDJ (talk) 20:09, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
          • So, let's ask Spaarnestad what they mean by "opnamedatum". I can hardly believe that PD in the country of origin does not constitute PD in the US, when both countries signed the Berne Convention. Tonnes of images on Commons do not fulfill the obligation you refer to in the Hirtle chart. Like all these batch uploads, for starters. Btw, publication date 1923 still means PD in the US, even by the Hirtle chart: "in the public domain in its source country as of 1 January 1996". So Klaas van Nek.jpg entered the PD in The Netherlands on 1 January 1994. Tekstman (talk) 16:36, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
            • The rule of shorter term, is not an obligatory part of the Berne convention and not implemented by the US. There are indeed MANY images on Commons that have this problem, simply because it is such a complicated issue. We cleanup where we can. These kinds of problems are also why why image donations from the deutsche fotothek for instance are explicitly released under a free license. It shifts the responsibility from us to them. There is a big difference in US interpreting an image to have fallen into the public domain (Your images taken from Spaarnestad) vs. someone else guaranteeing us that there are no more rights applicable to their material (Spaarnestad images made part of the National Archives), or that something is available under a Free license (Deutsche Fotothek).

Own work uploads by Hirundo rustica

[edit]

I feel most of the contributions by User:Hirundo rustica is a copyvio uploaded under false own work claim. All the images have no EXIF, low resolution, some images have been resized from even lower resolution images (it means that the uploader do not have a high resolution original) -- I think most of these images have been taken from the web, and not created by the user. I've found the exact source for the 11 images of 28 (some have been already deleted, see the talk page of the user), i.e. ~40% of the images in question are more or less certain copyvios. Possibly the user don't have a good understanding what "own work" is -- he or she tags as own work everything, including obviously not his own work old photos like this, this or this. I've nominated for deletion only modern photographs, old ones possibly could be kept under {{PD-Poland}}.
