No evidence of original painting date -- image copyrighted on source page as well —Eustress talk 16:04, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • I added the image so hope to help clarify. The owner of the full series of plates is my employer and he requested that I contribute the images we own after seeing terribly poor quality Rummell view images on the home pages of Yale and Brown. Seems to add a valuable visual element to each school's late 19th-early 20th century history that can not be found elsewhere. As for the date on the Cornell View, Rummell did not sign with it specifically, but the series of views was completed between 1900 and 1915 at the request of the printing house Littig & Co. I support removing dates attached to Cornell in favor of a "circa" unless more specific records can be found, but strongly oppose removing an image with no copyright issues that visually explains and enhances the quality of description and pool of knowledge associated with the university's history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dbrunt122 (talk • contribs) 16:24, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep see w:Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp. and these two documents. The artist died in 1924—barely a year past the "copyright horizon"—so even absent an explicit corroborative dating of the work, it's reasonable to accept the given date of 1910. (Edit: Come to think of it, even if the work were published in 1924, it would still be PD because of the life + 70 rule. 1924 + 70 = 1994.) For your second point, Eustress, I'm very surprised you don't seem to be aware that we ignore third parties' copyright claims on public domain works. It's very common for museums and galleries to assert copyright ownership, but it is official WMF policy- handed down "from on high", not just built from community consensus- to ignore these claims. —Notyourbroom (talk) 21:08, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Appreciate the research but not the tone —Eustress talk 15:04, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize for my tone- I was angry with your edit summary on Wikipedia, which baldly accused the editor of a copyright violation. I have enough experience with these cases that I could tell at a glance that it almost certainly wasn't a copyright violation, which increased my level of frustration- not only did you make a strong accusation, but you based the accusation on an exceptionally weak case. You're also an administrator on the English Wikipedia, which gives you a greater responsibility not to jump to conclusions or make false accusations. Unless it's a clear case, you should stick to language like "the copyright status is unclear". You are correct, though, that I met (perceived) unprofessionalism with unprofessionalism, and I apologize for that. —Notyourbroom (talk) 15:14, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is not public domain in it's source country; Crown Copyright is 50 years and this arms was last modified in 1984. Only the shield is public domain according to http://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/cnb/symbols.html. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 10:18, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep. Per Commons:Coats of arms there is no copyright on coats of arms because the description is public domain and arms may freely be redrawn without being derivatives. This specific artwork was made by the uploader and not by the New Brunswick government so I think Crown Copyright does not apply here. De728631 (talk) 20:25, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The shield is public domain, that is not in dispute. Yet, the entire coat of arms was redone in 1984 and that also had the addition of a few elements. If you read the symbol text, it says "The shield on our coat of arms , linking us with England, through the lion and celebrating our maritime location and shipbuilding prominence, was assigned by Royal Warrant of Queen Victoria on May 26, 1868. The crest and motto were assigned by Order of the Lieutenant Governor in Council in 1966. Other features were assigned by Royal Warrant of Queen Elizabeth II on Sept. 24, 1984, during a visit to Fredericton." So the crest and the motto, and all changes after that, are still under Crown Copyright (which is 50 years in Canada). Even if there was a description for the arms, we had the current coat of arms of Canada on the Commons, freely drawn by me, but still deleted for being a derivative work of a copyrighted work (because the arms were modified in 1994). User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 20:53, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Let me quote Commons:Coats of arms again: "To be sure, some CoA definitions indeed claim copyright, but this is very rare. Furthermore, there is little chance for such a claim to stand in court if the claim is indeed on the definition part (whereas if the claim is made on the representation, it is obviously valid). In any case, this is a nonexistent situation for official Coat of Arms, the big picture is: you have no chance of ever finding blasoning with a copyright claim in this encyclopedia. This means that anybody can draw a new coat of arms from a definition without copyright constraints: the "derivative work" notion simply doesn't apply in that case." So the deletion of your last Canadian coat of arms on grounds of copyright was probably false. But... I have now found this disclaimer on the fair use page at en.wiki: "In addition, the Trade Marks Act, chapter T-13, Revised Statutes of 1985 (sect. 9), protects the Arms of Canada against unauthorized commercial use" This is in fact a reason to not have it on Commons because images on Commons must not have a noncommercial restriction. De728631 (talk) 19:24, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
We have the same issue with the Canadian flag. On our image page for the flag, "The Trade Marks Act protects the National Flag of Canada and the flags of the provinces and territories against unauthorized use. Requests to use the Canadian flag in connection with business activities should be addressed to the Department of Canadian Heritage (attention: Canadian Identity Directorate)." But that is considered not mattering to us. Now back to this arms; there is no blazon that I could find (and that is usually the standard, as you pointed out) of this coat of arms. Unless we can find someone from New Brunswick to help find this blazon (or from the College of Arms), we cannot keep the image due to the age. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 20:35, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Is the Royal Heraldry Society of Canada competent and reliable enough in this matter? They've got blazons for all provincial arms: [1]. And so has the Canadian Encyclopedia. De728631 (talk) 23:04, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That works. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 04:33, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent. I've put up a link to the Heraldry Society's blazon on the file page and also added {{Coat of arms}}. De728631 (talk) 13:42, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The lion head symbol was created in 1986 by the Government of Singapore (see "Lion head symbol of Singapore"), which thus owns the copyright in it. Unfortunately, in Singapore there is no rule that works by the Government are in the public domain: see "Commons:Licensing#Government works". The work will enter the public domain 70 years after the end of the calendar year in which the work was made, i.e., 1 January 2057.

This is a collective deletion request for all images in Category:Drawings by Gregor Roffalski. The artist is non-notable and frankly this is just unprofessional fan-art. Therefore it is out of scope. ~ De728631 (talk) 17:58, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I've uploaded these images from Tolkien Gateway. This deletion request is really astonishing... can you explain exactly which Commons policy do they break? They all are media files in an allowable free file format, with an adequate freely licensed (CC-BY-SA-3.0-migrated), and no derivative stuff; so there isn't any problem over there. You mention the scope. This one (Aragorn II.jpg) is legitimately in use on four different Wikipedias (es, gl, ia, pl) so it “is considered automatically to be useful for an educational purpose”. I haven't checked all files, but they are similar in this aspect. So the only real reason I can imagine is that the files are bad drawings. Obviously these files aren't candidates to the image of the day. I'd prefer to have an Alan Lee between wikipedians, but that is not the case, so (unless you can paint it better) these are the only free images to illustrate a bunch of articles in Wikipedias with no fair use policy. Even I must cite “a file that is used in good faith on a Wikimedia project is always considered educational, so a poor quality file that remains in use is not liable to deletion even if a better-quality file covering the same subject later becomes available”. It's funny the way you call them “unprofessional”... if only professional content would be valid in Commons we should remove 98% of the repository, so...  Keep. Waiting for your explanations, regards, Rondador (talk) 20:51, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I can understand your frustration but per Commons: Fan art such images may be hosted if they are "realistically useful for an educational purpose, as required by our project scope (note that self-created artwork without obvious educational use is specifically excluded)". I for one doubt the educational use of these images because they are just someone's renditions of the different Tolkien characters while there are multiple images from professional adaptations and/or artists that can be hosted individually on a fair use basis. The term "educational" is defined as “providing knowledge; instructional or informative” in the project scope. These images however can't be used to showcase the artist's work because he's not notable and they provide no information other than that a certain Gregor Roffalski envisions Aragorn et al. in that specific way and therefore I think the "self-created artwork" clause is applicable here.
And as to your argument of automatic usefulness, please note that the condition reads "a media file that is in use on one of the other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation..." – that is to say that files that are hosted on a Wikipedia site and have been approved over there may be transferred from WP to Commons because they are useful, but just because any WP uses something from Commons that Commons content needs not be educationally useful per se. De728631 (talk) 23:30, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: Since at least one of these is in use, they are not all out of scope. De728631 may start a new DR, specifically listing only those images that are not in use.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 14:35, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep there are dozens of files that are classified as {{PD-US-record}}. Although there seems to be no where on Wikipedia or Commons to validate this file type, it seems that we should be spending energy focussing on developing a consensus on this license type rather than picking off the files one at a time here on commons.--TonyTheTiger (talk) 12:15, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The de facto status of how we deal with state restrictions is to not let them stop us. Until that consensus changes as a group (which I don't have a strong opinion on), we should not go after individual files. IOW, even if one disagrees with the policy, it is how we operate and should not affect a singular example until we decide to change how we deal with the class. Some note (a tag or even a written note) that there may be state restrictions would be valuable, though.TCO (talk) 00:16, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • This gets into the horribly messy sound recording stuff. PD-US-record is basically correct, except that I'm fairly sure that multiple states (not just New York, though they are the most recent) have upheld pre-1972 recording copyrights -- after all, there was a music recording industry before 1972, and all of those recordings remain protected the same way. There is no way we can use that tag on, say, an early Led Zeppelin recording. This file is marked CC-BY-NC-SA at the archive.org source... if the uploader there had the rights to the original recording, it would seem to not be a free enough license. If they did not, then of course that archive.org license is irrelevant. I am unfortunately suspicious of commercial recordings, even older ones like this, if the rights have passed down to current companies -- not sure if that is the case here though. The situation does absolutely suck, as TonyTheTiger says, but there are no easy answers. Carl Lindberg (talk) 05:09, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    • Hm, that site is actually just a database listing of the Victor recordings, not the recordings themselves (and does list this one, without an audio link). However, in general they do link to a number of actual recordings from the National Jukebox, a Library of Congress project. That project says In 2008, Sony Music Entertainment granted the Library of Congress an unprecedented gratis license to stream over the internet all of the pre-1925 recordings in their catalog, including those of the Victor, Columbia and Okeh labels. So, just the Library of Congress has that license. This is from 1926, so it is not available from the Library of Congress site, though for reference a sample Victor recording there has the following under the "Rights" tab: This recording is protected by state copyright laws in the United States. The Library of Congress has obtained a license from rights holders to offer it as streamed audio only. Downloading is not permitted. The authorization of rights holders of the recording is required in order to obtain a copy of the recording. Contact jukebox@loc.gov for more information. Under Credits, they have Inclusion of the recording in the National Jukebox, courtesy of Sony Music Entertainment. On the source archive.org site, it says the digital transfer was done by "F Reeder", who seems to have done a lot of stuff uploaded there, from a number of dates and a different labels (mostly Victor and Columbia, both Sony-owned now). You'd think Sony's name would be on them though, if truly licensed. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:32, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To begining with, this is a logo of a TV Channel, not "own work". Looks like screencapture or similar.

This image uses currency to indicate scale, which is discouraged per the infobox on the description page. Further compounding the problem is that the image is so small that anyone who doesn't know what the coin is immediately (I think it's a 1 Euro coin, but I'm not familiar with it myself) cannot even make the scale comparison.

This image gets 8 hits on tineye, a few larger than this. Also one for Getty images (which I can't access at the moment) so I suspect this is not freely licensed. -- Deadstar (msg) 14:24, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Judging from their filenames a few of the tineye results are of identical origin. The Getty file is not available any more in their database but this site uses the oldest image in terms of exif data (17 April 2007). The problem is that the original source has not been transferred from wikibooks so we can't be sure where this comes from. On the other hand the file had been sitting on wikibooks for 2 years without a problem before being transferred to Commons. De728631 (talk) 18:39, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The file has wrong infos on the author and the license, since at least one of the pics contained in the collage (see Palace Square2, St. Petersburg, Russia.jpg) is taken not by the uploader of the collage and is not PD licensed. I suppose that the same applies also for the other parts of the collage. A.S. 19:16, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sources have now been added and licencing updated.

Original source of the image is, very unfortunately, unknown. The copyright status is thus indeterminable.

Was the original Flickr uploader not the creator of the image (see page history for removed tags)? I notice that the Flickr username was similar to the Commons username, so it would not surprise me to hear that it was Flickr washing. – Adrignola talk 12:12, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, Flickr user haljackey definitely was not the original author. We deleted this image at least once already, four years ago: Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Highway 401 18 lanes.jpg. It exists at this Flickr image since September 12, 2006 and is marked "all rights reserved" there. See also en:Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Highway 401 18 lanes. It was uploaded again as en:File:Highway_401_Miss.jpg back in 2007 and discussed again at en:Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Highway 401 Express-Collector. BTW, the user who uploaded the image en:File:Highway_401_Miss.jpg back in 2007 was en:User:Haljackey, who had previously already edited the file description of the earlier upload en:File:Highway 401 18 lanes.jpg... His upload three years later here at the Commons is hardly a newbie error.  Delete or get an OTRS release from Flickr user Clashmaker. Lupo 14:29, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Historical photo of some sort. Possibly copyrighted. No reason given to suggest that uploader is copyright holder. Unlikely uploader is author. Unlikely licensing claim is accurate. FASTILY (TALK) 01:02, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete The uploader is obviously not the author because the license is referring to expired copyright. And even PD-100 is not correct in this case because the photo was allegedly taken in 1929 so the photographer can't have died 100 years before now. Too many uncertainties here.

Not useful for any project, as uploader only indicated that photograph was taken in "Ramgarh" but there are many places of this name in South Asia. It is also difficult to tell what animal is feeding from the basin. I left a message on the uploader's talk page on 10 July 2011 asking for more information about the photograph but received no response. — Cheers, JackLee talk 10:10, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The lion head symbol was created in 1986 by the Government of Singapore (see "Lion head symbol of Singapore"), which thus owns the copyright in it. Unfortunately, in Singapore there is no rule that works by the Government are in the public domain: see "Commons:Licensing#Government works". The work will enter the public domain 70 years after the end of the calendar year in which the work was made, i.e., 1 January 2057.

All these photos are problematic, and seem to have been grabbed from Orkut in 2008, except 3 which have exif data because they are photographs of older photographs (therefore the EXIF is irrelevant).
