I am not convinced that this is a pre-1917 image. Could it be from the time of the German occupation? Pieter Kuiper (talk) 23:16, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Keep I prefer to assume good faith and raise Deletion Requests based on evidence, just in case it turns out to be a massive waste of everyone's time. You may want to raise questions like this on the Discussion page. -- (talk) 23:22, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Do those fences look pre-1917 to you? The Flickr account is not reliable, it goes against all practice on commons to take such statements for granted. But I admit, I might have saved some precious time by tagging this as "no source". /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 23:26, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment This link may be helpful. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 23:52, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, they say pre-1917. And looking at that site, I remembered something. Russian had a spelling reform shortly after the Revolution. Now they write "Херсон", but on the postcard there is the extra silent character.  I withdraw my nomination. (Except that Commons does not need two nearly identical images.) /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 00:05, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep per Pieter Kuiper. From the Ukrainian article of the city: The Austrian-German occupation begun on 5 April 1918 and ended on 8 March 1919 when Bolshevik troops took over the city. It is unlikely that this postcard got published afterwards. The license, however, shall be fixed as it does not make sense to keep the {{Cc-by-sa-2.0}} from Flickr. (And this should be done for all other Faebot-uploads of supposedly PD material as well.) --AFBorchert (talk) 11:17, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Per User:Faebot, my recommended license for this batch upload is {{PD-RusEmpire}}. Some of these have been done, though I prefer to do these "by hand" rather than relying on one of my scripts to add the license en-mass. You are welcome to finish going through the backlog. -- (talk) 20:31, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • But when I try to fix licenses, Fæ reverts. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 20:42, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • Read the edit comment which explained the reason for the revert, or the talk page (for a similar image, but I'm not going to waste yet more time tracking it down right now) where I repeated this explanation along with the basic principle that you cannot expect others to tease out the difference between you blanking valid information and any other text you might add at the same time. Considering the sheer rapid volume of the results of your image stalking campaign, you can hardly expect me to write up a helpful treatise when an edit comment is sufficient. Using this deletion request as an opportunity to grief me about other unrelated images does not help your argument. -- (talk) 20:55, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Old Russian Orthography. This postcard cannot be published after 1917. --Pauk (talk) 21:08, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, the photographs contain unlicensed two-dimensional derivative works that are not de minimis. --— Cheers, JackLee talk 07:11, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, that would be fine with me. Or maybe the image of gamelan players can be blurred out, if that would look less odd. I've filed a request at "Commons:Graphic Lab/Photography workshop#Asian Civilisations Museum, Empress Place 19, Aug 06.JPG". — Cheers, JackLee talk 08:12, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

From speedy with reason "Datenschutz in google, Foto wird auch nicht mehr im Artikel verwendet --93.195.214.75 13:04, 4 January 2012 (UTC)" I don't quite understand this request.

This appears to be a photograph of a reproduction of Whistler's Mother rather than the actual painting. Compare with File:Whistlers Mother, James Abbott McNeill Whistler cropped.jpg. The most notable differences can be seen in the head and neck as well the area over the knee. Also keep in mind that Whistler's Mother is a huge painting.

 Keep This is a non-reproducible event, an unauthorized rally against election fraud in St. Petersburg. More high-quality photos can hardly expect - a meeting took place at a time when the press was not interested in the situation and go with a decent photo equipment was dangerous for the equipment. Here we can see the key parameters of the meeting: dispersal of riot police, paddy wagons, crowd of people, the place of action (Gostiny yard). "no encyclopedic value" in relation to such pictures is a lie.

Derivative work of copyrighted poster. Claritas (talk) 12:21, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The complex background design of the poster is certainly copyrightable, although the logo may not be. --Claritas (talk) 16:44, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The background is most definitely copyrightable in the U.S. Not sure about the actual logo part... maybe. Also no clue about Ecuador rules. Carl Lindberg (talk)

Hi. Just a little more information: File is use in es:WP to spamming the Museum of Medicine in Quito and his creator, Dr. Eduardo Estrella Aguirre, even when the picture is about a poster saying "Calidad turística", "Tourist quality". You can note this in the description of the file. It talks about the biography of Aguirre and the inventory of the musem. The file is added massively by the user and an IP eveywhere, including categories. Also, the user, Internet Search Optimization it´s clearly a SPA: all pictures includes name of user and it´s making spam. Just read his UP. Thanks. --Andrea (talk) 12:12, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delete for two reasons:
    1. Derivative of copyright work per Carl Lindberg above: Even if the "distintivo Q" mark was judged to be simple and unoriginal shapes in both Ecuador and the USA, the background of the poster is made up of complex combinations of those shapes, and is probably too complex for {{PD-textlogo}} in the United States. Commons content Sign art appears to be the work of the Metropolitana de Gestión de Destino Turístico – Ecuador (Quito Visitors' Bureau) and the uploader has not shown evidence that he has permission to relicense derivative works of that sign.
    2. Fails COM:SCOPE because it is very clear that it is just an advertising attempt. Commons:Project scope#Must be realistically useful for an educational purpose: "any use that is not made in good faith does not count"; Commons:Project scope#Examples: "Advertising or self-promotion." --Closeapple (talk) 10:11, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Purpose for creating this file seems to be soapboxing, which falls outside the scope of Wikimedia's educational mission. --Gavin Collins (talk) 16:12, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Just to be clear, this deletion request is not concerned whether or not promoting a nationality is "soapboxing" per se, nor whether that it is used in a the creator's userbox. This discussion is about whether Commons should be used as a web-hosting site for self-made content whose only use is the promotion of political causes, rather than for educational purposes. --Gavin Collins (talk) 17:55, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If you get the userbox deleted from WIkipedia as out of scope, that may be different, but as long as it's in use Commons should not be dictating policy like that to projects. If it's in scope on en-wiki, it's in scope here. Carl Lindberg (talk) 02:27, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That is not strictly true, for if I were to upload my portrait and use it to embellish a user box, such content would clearly be out of scope, regardless of use. Such designs do not magically become educational by arguing that “it could be used to illustrate a Wikipedia article on X" or “it could be used to illustrate a Wikipedia user box". That would be an example of the tail wagging the dog. --Gavin Collins (talk) 09:58, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
As I have said elsewhere, I had no intention of promoting political causes. The image was intended as illustration for British Israelism, but I decided to make another version for that use. Apart from the userbox, I think it is useful for anyone wishing to illustrate Great Britain. --Jonund (talk) 18:08, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Images must be realistically useful for an educational purpose. If they could be used to illustrate a Wikipedia article, or could be used in a userbox (even more when they are) , then yes they are useful for an educational purpose. In short, if they are in legitimate use on a subproject, they are in scope here, without further discussion. Commons is not the dog in your analogy. Carl Lindberg (talk) 00:05, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Clearly my understanding of allowable images for userboxes is different. For an image to be useful in this context, it would have to have a dual use, i.e. education (illustration of an article, say) and embelishment (such as a userbox). This image could not be realistically useful for an educational purpose, for this composite image does not illustrate anything that exists in the real world other than the original parts it is made up from. The only dual use that can be realistically put is embelishment and personal indulgance (such as uploading a self-portrait or creating political banners), which combined together fall outside of the scope of Wikimedia's educational mission. --Gavin Collins (talk) 11:09, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Basically -- wikipedia is considered an educational project. If they have use for an image, for whatever reason (even if only on non-article pages), then it's in scope here and we don't delete it -- otherwise that is imposing a policy on them from outside their project, which is something we do not do (unless it is for copyright reasons). What makes an image good in a userbox, or even cover art, is not always what makes a good article illustration -- so use on articles is not the only criteria. Embellishment-only images may not be useful on articles, but they could be useful in userboxes, WIkiProject logos, stub article template icons, Wikinews, Wikibooks, etc., etc., so there are educational uses for them. The simple fact that something is in use on any Wikimedia project (outside of perhaps user pages but we allow users a couple of those even) is enough to automatically mean the image is in scope on Commons. From COM:SCOPE: A media file that is in use on one of the other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation is considered automatically to be useful for an educational purpose, as is a file in use for some operational reason such as within a template or the like. Such a file is not liable to deletion simply because it may be of poor quality: if it is in use, that is enough. Carl Lindberg (talk) 16:12, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Since the userbox in question is being used to assert or declare a politcal affiliation, I would argue that it falls outside of scope to which a Wikimedia project could be expected to use it for, as soapboxing falls outside their scope as well. This would be the same argument that would be used to delete a file that is being used to endorse an extremist or offensive viewpoint: if it cannot be used by a Wikimedia project, then it not actually "in use" per se. However, having look at the outcome of a deletion discusion for a more overtly nationalistic user box, it appears that some soapboxing is allowable, even if it is not encouraged. I therefore wish this deletion nominiation to be withdrawn on the grounds that my interpretation of what falls within the scope of educational activity appears to be more narrow that community at large, and to thank Carl Lindberg for taking time to explain this to me. --Gavin Collins (talk) 11:43, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reopening discussion:  Delete Actually, this has a serious copyright problem, which can be solved easily by the creator changing the license -- but until he does that, this is a copyvio. The two files from which this is derived are by CC-BY. The creator has made this file PD. That is not possible. In addition, the description page should attribute, by name and not just link, both of the creators on whose work this is based.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 12:31, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see the point reopening the DR for that. You could just change the license. Yann (talk) 12:39, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I know, we don't ever change licenses -- the only person who can do it legally is the person who gave the license in the first place. If he or she is unwilling to do it, then we must delete the image. Since he or she commented above, that should not be a problem.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 16:01, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The current license is technically OK -- the derivative work itself (combining the base images in this manner) is not bound to be CC-BY (only CC-BY-SA does that), so that can be PD. However, the authorship of the components must be noted, as well the fact they are CC-BY. We don't technically need to change the license, but rather just conform to the other ones. And yes, if there was a CC-BY-SA derivative mistake, we typically just fix it, since usually the author had given all the necessary permissions, just went a bit too far. Unless maybe it was an author who only wants to use the Free Art License and they made use of a CC-BY-SA work, or something like that -- but I have no issues changing a CC-BY to a CC-BY-SA if it's derivative of another CC-BY-SA work. Which, in this case, is not necessary (but we do have to comply with the CC-BY licenses). Carl Lindberg (talk) 17:18, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I on the contrary object to changing a license to CC-BY-SA, on the grounds that the author may not have been aware that they were compelled to release their work under CC-BY-SA, and may find some of its terms unsavory (I for one would sooner recreate one of my works than see it released under CC-BY-SA). But that's not at issue with this image - as you say, it is sufficient to note the license for each portion of the image derived from original sources, and the license of any new contributions. Dcoetzee (talk) 02:06, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If the author expressed a desire to delete in that case, that may change things ;-) In most cases though, you'd have to think that someone willing to give up enough rights to give a CC-BY license, would also be willing to give up fewer rights for CC-BY-SA. Additionally, if there was a way to separate out the contributions to the derivative work such that they would no longer be derivative (entirely possible with things like additions to SVGs), then those separate additions could still be used under CC-BY I'd think given the initial declaration. CC-BY-SA for the overall work would only be forced when used in conjunction with the CC-BY-SA portions. Carl Lindberg (talk) 02:54, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

COM:DW, stickers are not made to be permanently located, {{FoP-Nederland}} does not apply. Pieter Kuiper (talk) 00:01, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Your interpretation is needlessly narrow. Commons:Freedom_of_Panorama#The_Netherlands states "Taking these guidelines and the few court cases into consideration, we interpret "public place" (openbare plaats) in article 18 to cover works on open-air roads and squares as well as works visible from there (as long as they're outside)". This would seem to include publicly displayed stickers, that are intended to be on display in public locations. -- (talk) 00:11, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • This seems to be on a car window. But even if it was sitting on a fixed object, it was not put there by the copyright holder. Stickers are not magically free. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 00:21, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • Car window stickers are by definition made to be seen outside in car windows in public spaces, by the public, consequently "visible from there" per the guideline. -- (talk) 00:32, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • The whole purpose of copyright law is to protect the rights of authors that make their work visible for the public. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 00:35, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
          • Not arguing against that. However if the artwork is stuck on the side of a building or is otherwise visible from a public space in the Nederlands, it falls under FoP. Even if the artwork is reasonably transient (such as chalk graffiti) then this principle applies. I would not suggest that a oil painting being transported on the street would count, but artwork designed to be displayed to be visible from or in a public location seems entirely within this principle. -- (talk) 00:47, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete I am not sure it is smart to wade into a discussion between you two, but I probably do one dumb thing every day, so I'll get today's out of the way early.
I think that Fae is raising a new interpretation of our FoP policy. In English, "permanently located in public places" suggests that a given thing be in one place, not attached to a moving vehicle. We regularly delete murals located on vehicles. It is certainly possible that this vehicle is in a private garage every night, which means that it is not permanently in a public place. Point for delete.
Being attached to a vehicle is different from being "stuck on the side of a building" -- the latter is permanent (within the life of the artwork -- the chalk graffiti example is correct), but the former is not. Point for delete.
Pieter raises the point that being placed in a public setting does not necessarily free the image from copyright. If I buy a properly licensed poster of a Picasso painting which is still under copyright and hang that poster in a public place, the copyright to the painting does not go away. Against that, Fae argues that stickers, particularly stickers with the glue on the image side, are meant to be stuck to windows. I call this point even.
Also, I note the last sentences of Commons:Freedom_of_panorama#The_Netherlands:
"Furthermore, the picture must show the work as it appears in the public place. (A photograph showing a sculpture in its surroundings is OK. Cutting out the sculpture and using only the image of the sculpture is not covered by article 18.) Dutch legislature seems to favor a strict interpretation of the Berne three-step test; parliament mentioned that creating and selling a postcard from a close-up photo of a copyrighted sculpture (i.e., without the surroundings, not showing the sculpture in context) was not allowed."
which suggests to me that a photo of the whole car would be OK, but the detail is not. Point for delete.

"You have no right to [...] automated devices and the software for work with service Mapul, besides licensed for Windows and Mac platforms a web-browsers." -- lol, so you need to have a "licensed" (what the heck is it?) Win or Mac browser just to browse their site. So it seems that Linux/Android users violate their mad ToS just using their service. There is absolutely no sign of a free license or something.

Authors for the photos on the cover are not mentioned, and I doubt the OTRS contains evidence of permission for all of these. Pieter Kuiper (talk) 01:45, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fae is a member of OTRS, so it would be good to check and see if he didn't approve his own image or had a friend perform a special favor. Ottava Rima (talk) 17:39, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is not his own image; someone (likely the author) sent this to permissions, and then Fæ uploaded it. But permission by the book author is not enough. Even if the publisher gave permission, it would need to be very explicit about the rights of the included photos. But some OTRS agents are very easygoing about verification of permission (example). /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 17:51, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment OTRS shows a CC-BY-SA license in an e-mail signed by Joel McIver, the author of the book. The e-mail is from a web site that is apparently McIver's, so as best I can tell, the permission is authentic. Pieter's question of whether it is sufficient is certainly valid. When a publisher clears copyrights on photos for a book, usually the licenses cover only use in that book, both in print and electronic versions, as well as in advertising and promotion of the book. A license here goes beyond that. So, if McIver is business savvy and knows all that, then this is probably all right -- he's not going to sub-license something that he doesn't have rights to. But many authors are not business savvy, hence my not taking a position -- too close to call without more input. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs)

Kept as this cover which came by email through our address for photo submissions and has been put under a CC-BY-SA-3.0 license by its author.

Renomination #1

I still believe that permission by the publisher should be required for the cover. McIver did not design it, and he did not make the photos that are shown there. According to the copyright notice in the book (Amazon, look inside, click on "copyright"), McIver only owns rights on the text, but there is an explicit notice "Volume copyright © 2008 Outline Press Ltd, all rights reserved" and "no part of this book may be reproduced [...] without permission by the publisher".

  • Raising Deletion review immediately after the last one closes, in a discussion where I have been accused of lying and misusing my role as an OTRS volunteer, yet again, seems a strong case for misuse of process intended to blatantly image stalk.

 Delete I actually suggested to Pieter that he reopen this image, see the talk page.

That is not an issue with Fae's work as an OTRS volunteer, but with the decision above.

I was on the fence the first time around. After Pieter did additional research and determined that the book has two copyrights -- text (McIver) and everything else (Outline Press Ltd), it became clear to me that we decided it incorrectly, because McIver does not own the copyright to the cover and therefore has no right to give a license to Commons.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 13:40, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have written back to Joel McIver asking him to confirm the copyright situation with his publisher, or to provide a free release from the publisher. The email is available on the same OTRS ticket number. -- (talk) 00:12, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep The publisher as well as the author have confirmed the release of this image on Template:OTRS ticket. As Pieter Kuiper has previously accused me of lying as an OTRS volunteer, I suggest another volunteer with access confirms these details so that he can hear this from someone he might trust. Thanks -- (talk) 10:21, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep I congratulate Fae on persistence. The first response from the publisher reads, in part:
"This is to confirm that you have our permission to use the cover image for 100 Metal Guitarists on the Wikipedia page for the book."
That is, of course, not sufficient. Fae wrote back:
"Could you confirm that as well as permission for Wikipedia, you support the release on a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike license as can be seen on the link above?"
And the publisher responded:
"Yes, that's fine."
In both cases the e-mail came from an address at the publisher's domain.

Article 21 of the decree No. 100/2006/NP-CD refered to in the license template says "Administrative documents specified in Clause 2, Article 15 of the Intellectual Property Law include documents issued by state agencies, political organizations, socio-political organizations, sociopolitical-professional organizations, social organizations, socio-professional organizations, economic organizations, people’s armed forces units and other organizations defined by law." The template is poorly worded, because it not explicitely says that a document must still be a "legal documents, administrative documents and other documents in the judicial domain".

From the template {{PD-VietnamGov}} you can get the impression that all documents released by such organizations are not protected by copyright, but thats untrue because the words I underlined above are not mentioned in the template.

The following photos, all recently uploaded by one user who got this wrong impression I think, not fall inside this category, it is not documents as specified in the copyright law Article 15.

--Martin H. (talk) 02:37, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I find your logic quite confusing. They cannot exist because...why? Buffs (talk) 06:16, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Because {{PD-VietnamGov}} is used wrong. Any work "issued by issued by state agencies, political organizations..." and so on must be a work according to Article 15, alinea 2. Thats legal documents, administrative documents and other documents in the judicial domain. This photos are not legal documents. --Martin H. (talk) 15:07, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

These images have legally right: Because according to the decree No. 100/2006/ND-CP of September 21, 2006, Article 2, "Subjects of application: This decree applies to Vietnamese organizations and individuals; and foreign organizations and individuals engaged in activities relating to copyright and related rights". Article 8, alinea 1, "Authors means persons who personally create part of or the entire literary, artistic or scientific works". All images have captured by individuals and organizations in Vietnam and accepted by Vietnamese Government also protected by Vietnamese law. These images are completely lawful when add permission: PD-VietnamGov.Dokientrung (talk)

Of course this decree applies to organizations and individuals. Because all organizations and individuals have a copyright! We not collect copyrighted works here but public domain works, thats the opposite of what you just said. So why should Article 15 of the law apply to this works and excemt them from copyright? --Martin H. (talk) 02:55, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The permission PD-VietnamGov can be used in these cases because according Intellectual Property Law of Vietnamese Government: all organizations and individuals have the right to use documents and belongs to public if respect the personal rights of authors. These images have exactly confirmed author's name in Author - Summary.Dokientrung (talk)
You refer to fair use? The files have copyrights and you cant use something that has copyright for commercial purposes unless the copyright holder gave permission. Thats what we require on Commons, free reuse for any purpose. See Commons:Project scope#Required licensing terms. The copyright exemption of Article 15 is not applicable because this is not aministrative documents as specified in Clause 2, Article 15 of the Intellectual Property Law. This files are simply copyrighted and not ok to upload on Commons. Maybe on Wikipedia under fair use. --Martin H. (talk) 03:22, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You don't understand Vietnam Intellectual Property Law, in this Law: The following forms of use of published works without obtaining permission and paying any royalties, remuneration: a) Self - reproducing one single copy for the purposes of science research and teaching; b) Reasonable quoting works without alteration of their contents for commentary or for illustration in one’s own works; c) Quoting from a work without alteration of their contents for use in articles, periodic journals, radio and television programs and documentary films; d) Quoting from a work for teaching in schools without alteration of the contents not for commercial purposes; e) Copying a work for archives in libraries for the purposes of research. I uploaded these images without any money purpose, only support for research and education. I think that's the main purpose of Common Wiki to encourage the development of knowledge. In Vietnam, all documents have been used free and belongs public for education purpose if respect the personal rights of authors.Dokientrung (talk)
I understand this perfectly, but this is a free content project. Use only for educational purposes or reuse only for quoting a copyrighted work is great, but it is not free. It is fair use, and it is forbidden on Commons. See the first point at Commons:Project scope#Non-allowable license terms. --Martin H. (talk) 03:43, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand your idea. I uploaded these images to common and public for free and education purpose. Then, everyone in Common Wiki can use these images to add to any titles in Wikipedia and download too, of course the copyright can be respected. That's Vietnam Intellectual Property Law imply and also my purpose. Do I have any misunderstand? (talk)
Files on Commons must be free for money making purposes, everywhere, worldwide. --Martin H. (talk) 04:04, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, that's the idea I tried to told you. Vietnamese Law allows use of published works without obtaining permission and paying any money if you use these images for non-commercial works for all over the world. Therefore, these images can be added PD-VietnamGov. Dokientrung (talk)

In hope you understand my ideas. Can you remove the "Deletion requests" in these images? I think it's so unfair if these images be deleted because you and I have something misunderstand each other. All authors of these images always want to develop knowledge in Vietnam and all over the world. Thanks and have a good day! Dokientrung (talk)

Again, I think you not know or not understand what this project is about. You said: "if you use these images for non-commercial works". Thats forbidden on Commons. We not accept files here that you can only use for non-commercial purposes. Files must be free for commercial purposes too. Read about free content. --Martin H. (talk) 13:49, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Vietnam Intellectual Property Law correctly wrote that all documents can use free if these support for education and research purpose (have to respect the personal rights of authors, of course). I think that law is quite simple to understand. These images I uploaded satisfy both Common Wiki's content and Vietnamese Law. That's all. The Common Wiki I satisfied, the Vietnamese Law either. Dokientrung (talk)
I say it a last time: Files on Commons must not only be free for education, but also for commercial purposes! Wikimedia Commons is not sattisfied, its NOT free content, its a violation of our licensing policy. --Martin H. (talk) 14:41, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
{{PD-VietnamGov}} is not used in Vietnamese Wikipedia since 2008, you can see at vi:Bản mẫu:PVCC-CPVN and vi:Thảo luận Bản mẫu:PVCC-CPVN (Martin H. can read if use Google Translate). This template is only used in Vietnamese Wikisource for legal documents, administrative documents and other documents in the judicial domain and official translations of these documents of Vietnam Government. So this template in Commons should be deleted. Tranminh360 (talk) 23:48, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See Template talk:PD-VietnamGov#Legal Documents. The full original of this statement in Vietnamese is "Văn bản pháp quy", rough translation to English is "Legal text documents". The template currently only using in Vietnamese Wikisource with official "Legal text documents" by VietnamGov, not the photos. Almost photos (especially logo and emblem) tagged with this template should be remove since it clearly copyright violation due misreading the content of statement in English translation. In the case badly tagged, they need to be sort in other category by correct licenses. Also a warning text should be added to template, make it only using for a scan of text, prevent any wrong photos upload in future.

Here are some of them:

There are more but it took too much time. However, I'll keep updating it in a few days. Emperofvietilia 06:28, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As I was asked on my talk page: Most of these images are, as it is usual poorly tagged, that's logical. Anyway, we usually consider emblems of governmental agencies or military branches are PD-Gov, as these images can be found on public domain legal documents, as long it is not possible to find conflicting legislation. Of course that is an assumption, but if we do not do that, it is not possible to show official emeblems for most countries in the world. In additon, copyright does not play a role for official insignia, as their use is generally banned outside educational porposes.--Antemister (talk) 07:58, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Those files may meet the conditions for PD-simple (with flag only have some colors). My point here is all the files need the correction license(s) and avoid abuse the PD-VietnamGov, since it should only use for "legal text documents". Vietnamese Goverment may keep the copright protection with all the symbols using in those documents. --minhhuy (talk) 08:12, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I understands the misused and error during translation of the license(s). So are you suggesting that those file’s license(s) should be replace with a more fitting one, to be create with a new license specific for them, or simply just removed them. Emperofvietilia 15:08, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree to keep those files which others users listed above (as long as we can choose the right tag for them). I also removed the deletion tag for severals files which already replaced by more suitable licenses template by myself. But still, there are so many files which I believe they was uploaded due wrong understanding about the "legal text" (intentionally or not), such as the emblem and logo files of modern administrative units, and many history photos taken after 1960 but no author permission given as well. Therefore, to reply your question, I think "both". And the template itself need a notice about the scope of license, prevent more violation photos uploaded under PV-VietnamGov. --minhhuy (talk) 15:47, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I had added a request to change the template that reminds users in the future to use the template for text document's images purposes only. And as for most of the flags and emblems, they all seem to be solely created by the authors of the images and not actual images that could have any copyright concern. So could those tags be removed without replacing it with any other tags or any other mean? Emperofvietilia 20:50, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep my road sign files. The majority of them do not contain anything original enough for copyright, while others with more complex images are taken from the Vienna Convention (Vietnam is a recent signatory) or other unoriginal sources. I will re-license them if this license is deemed inappropriate. Fry1989 eh? 18:46, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep: If the license used is improper, then it should be replaced and fixed with the proper one; we shouldn't jump the gun by mass-deleting since many of the files listed are in the public domain due to their age or simplicity, but have just been mis-licensed is all.

While I'm all for deleting copyrighted files, we first should identify which ones should be deleted and which ones kept before carelessly mass-deleting them all on a whim. – Illegitimate Barrister (talkcontribs), 20:36, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Quite a few of these seem to be merely mis-tagged—maybe by people who thought the template was for any & all images that are PD in Vietnam, rather than being specific to the Vietnamese government. I haven’t looked at many of them, but beside the flags & traffic signs mentioned above I notice things like centuries-old ceramics, more insignia with simple geometry or conventional emblems, and other items that I doubt would pass any but the lowest TOO. From what I’ve seen I would certainly oppose a mass deletion without such files being sorted out.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 20:54, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Emperofvietilia, Trần Nguyễn Minh Huy: I try a cleanup within the files I am affiliated. Anyway, reading the PDVietnamGov template, it states that not only "legal texts", but in general any "documents issued by state agencies" are in the PDs, with includes also documents like annual reports of state agencies, which usually includes emblems. Anyway, I a strict opponent of seperating the PD-Gov and PD-old template for each country, as this often causes such problems.--Antemister (talk) 15:35, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment This credit appears to me just an acknowledgement of the source. On a side note, this picture does not depict Paul Latham but Hubert Latham on his first attempt to cross the channel to win the Daily Mail Channel-crossing prize where he had to ditch his airplane into the water after an engine failure. This was very likely published at that time but unfortunately I have no additional info about that. However, it may be worth checking Daily Mail newspapers from that time, perhaps in the BL, as this was the very first newspaper to rely heavily on photographs. --AFBorchert (talk) 07:23, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Getty version is described here. The photograph has a caption of "Photo by Topical Press Agency/Getty Images" with the photo dated as 1909. The Hulton Archive with Getty has control of access and charge for copies, however with the photographer being named as an organization and taken (and presumably published) more than 100 years ago, there would seem to be no tangible issue of copyright. -- (talk) 23:49, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what point you are making, the online Getty version is presumably the original photograph as owned by the press agency, not a postcard derived from it which itself would not create a new copyright, regardless of who might later initial that version. Paukrus gives no explanation of where this digital image came from. -- (talk) 10:43, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
My point is that {{PD-anon-70}} cannot apply, that there is no basis for {{PD-Old}}, and that {{Cc-by-sa-2.0}} (approved by Fæbot and all) is just absurd. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 12:20, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thanks. As explained above, there is every indication that the photograph was published in the press of the time over 100 years ago and that copyright was held by the press agency. I am unclear why that scenario is absurd. If you could explain where there is evidence of a valid claim of copyright (presumably such a claim can only be made by Getty Images) this would help. -- (talk) 12:28, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You know what, I'm tired of being hounded by Pieter Kuiper. I'm going with  Delete on the basis that Pieter Kuiper wants it so much.

"LL" does not appear on the original hosted by Getty Images. This may be initials of whoever made a postcard. Is the issue that this image is from a postcard? It also appears in several books and on book covers. -- (talk) 13:26, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, it was not the photographer but a postcard publisher: Levy Fils & Cie (Imprimerie NOUVELL). It appears on the cover of a coffee table book of Hulton Getty photos. It is a high profile photo, and a commercial reuser would need to be very certain of PD status. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 16:13, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes the image is a Getty image, I provided a link to the original above. Please read the Getty catalog entry. Being in a Getty catalog is no evidence that there is a current valid claim of copyright as made clear in their own T&Cs. In this case as the press agency published (or sold for publication) the image over 100 years ago and it is that same press agency that Getty recognizes as the copyright holder, the term of copyright has expired. As for this version of the image that appears Flickrwashed, I don't much care for it which there is a 17MB version that Getty own that could be released for the public benefit. I also do not enjoy taking part in any deletion request where replies and analysis made in good faith are derided as "absurd". This is not the positive or welcoming community we hope to foster on Commons. Thanks -- (talk) 12:47, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • I do think it is a pity that you continually see this about you. Commons takes one thing seriously - licensing. Many of us spend much of our time dealing with nothing else. I do realise that many people who contribute here are under the impression that anything they find is free and are less than happy when we point out the reality to them however it is not done to annoy but to comply legally. That is such a rare part of en wp work that many users from there do not understand it either - I guess in much the same way I fail to see anything very rational about aspect of en wp. --Herby talk thyme 12:55, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • I assume that the "anything they find is free" is not directed at me. I have used Getty's online service to ask if copyright has expired on this image or not, and they have suggested I email in. I will be happy to copy to OTRS, along with any response they later give, if a ticket number would help. -- (talk) 13:06, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • Email sent, copy logged at Template:OTRS ticket. I recommend deleting this image in the meantime if it represents a realistic breach of copyright and nobody can bizarrely "prove the negative" that the photographer is unknown, which appears to be the requirement being made for this image. -- (talk) 14:52, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • It is nearly 2 months since my email to Getty Images, I am copying below for information. At this point I doubt Getty will reply, it is not in their commercial interests to confirm they do not have any copyright protection and the determination of this DR may have to proceed on that assumption. The precautionary principle, in this case I suggest, encourages us to keep as there may be a technical doubt due to not knowing author details, but this is not the significant doubt that the precautionary principle is looking for. -- (talk) 08:26, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ce logo ne devrait pas être sous common licence. Merci! Wanagain (talk) 17:36, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have uploaded this logo as commons, but I made a mistake. Could someone remove it from commons? Thanks!

  •  Delete I agree, this flickr account is misleading in their collection and tagging. I have no reason to challenge any other uploads made by Faebot for this Flickr account as a likely case of Flickrwashing. -- (talk) 00:16, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely no information about the original publication. Must have been taken before 1923 (Merriam was 68 in 1923), but it is not given when exactly, or when this was first published, which would be needed to determine copyright status. —innotata 17:30, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

این عکس در سال 1341 گرفته شده است و در همان زمان هم به نشر رسیده ئر مطبوعات ان زمان و در گزارش کنگره جبهه ملی ایران در همان دوران هم به نشر رسیده و از زمان چاپ ان بیش از 49 سال می گذرد. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hootandolati (talk • contribs)

جناب دولتی، من خودم موافق ماندن این صفحه هستم ولی طبق قوانین شما باید به نحوی نشان دهید که این تصویر منتشر شده (مثلا در یک روزنامه یا ...)، به گونه‌ای که نتوان تصور کرد این تصویر جزئی از آلبوم شخصی و خصوصی بوده باشد و تاکنون منتشر نشده باشد. لطفا در قانون ایران به لفظ «نشر یا عرضه» توجه کنید. فقط کافی است اشاره کنید که این تصویر در فلان روزنامه در فلان تاریخ چاپ شده و یا در فلان کتاب.

Mentioned source is "آلبوم شخصی / personal album" and author "ناشناس / anonymous", {{PD-Iran}} requires proof of either publication date or author's death.  ■ MMXX  talk 00:21, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]


 Comment I think it was taken from Encyclopaedia Islamica. If so this image was used by Ervand Abrahamian in his Iran between two revolutions (Princeton, N.J. 1983). However, I couldn't find the date of first publication of this image. If we can find it, maybe we can keep this image. Takabeg (talk) 06:48, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Source information "personal album" indicates that this image may have never been published in Iran. That's why I requested speedy deletion. --Wvk (talk) 07:22, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

that photo was published in newspapers in Iran during the 1963 to 1967 and duringThe Iranian Revolution (also known as the Islamic Revolution or 1979 Revolution ) at national Front of Iran organization (Payam e Jebhe Melli weekly) --Hootandolati (talk) 07:03, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Can you provide an image of the said publication which shows this image?  ■ MMXX  talk 16:07, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Three uploads by ; they are marked with the cc-by-sa-3.0 license at the source, but the uploader never states anywhere who the author is. For legal reasons, it should be deleted. (also, possibly for ethical reasons: sometimes users purposefully leave out the data because they are not the author, rather it is a family friend, or they got it off of a website). Magog the Ogre (talk) 20:38, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We can assume that the uploader is the copyright holder or at least has the permission. The exif data is there so it would have come from a camera. Graeme 2 (talk) 21:44, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
oh please, I've stated that all of the uploader's uploads were from the same camera and the only thing you can do is show me what I already know. Come back with facts to back-up that the uploader didn't photograph these photos! Bidgee (talk) 00:09, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You have things backwards. It's your responsibility to show that it was definitely the uploader, not vice versa. Commons:Project scope/Evidence. Magog the Ogre (talk) 05:55, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
To the contrary, we generally accept claims of "own work" unless there is some reason to doubt it. Otherwise it would be virtually impossible for individuals to contribute. This is effectively an exception to COM:PRP, but an established one. Dcoetzee (talk) 01:56, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
But the uploaders never stated it was their own work. Magog the Ogre (talk) 15:59, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
