The flickr account has a handful of images, all of which appear to have been uploaded to Commons. Though the CC license is as per Flickr, there is no evidence that the original images are there, and most appear widely available on the internet. A bit more evidence for the sourcing is requried, such as a clear description of the original source or a ticket via OTRS.

I would like to bundle with this deletion request the following associated images:

  1. File:R. Kelly at the 2011 Pre-Grammy Gala.jpg
  2. File:R. Kelly at 2010 World Cup.jpg
  3. File:R. Kelly and MGM.jpg
  4. File:R. Kelly as a child.jpg

  •  Delete Normally we have to keep the original raster version when a vector version is created from it to maintain the chain of attribution. But here the svg file says that this image is ineligible for copyright, and that seems right to me. So delete per ZooFari. --Quintucket (talk) 00:57, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say delete them all.

I'll try to figure out where in Alsancak the others come from and replace them too. (I wish I had a decent digital camera, or at least hadn't left my nice film camera in the states.)
By the way, in the future, do you think it would be possible for you to notify me when you nominate pictures from Turkey for copyright violations?

Kept. MBisanz talk 18:42, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:Legoland Billund - Pirate Carousel.jpg

Previously kept because someone thought that it is purely utilitarian. However, it is irrelevant if something is utilitarian or not. Danish copyright law doesn't differ between utilitarian objects and non-utilitarian objects. See COM:TOO#Denmark: this is more complex than both the knife and the chair (which are both copyrighted in Denmark), and thus you can't take photos of it. COM:UA only describes the situation in the United Kingdom, the United States and a few other countries, but not the situation in Denmark. Stefan4 (talk) 18:19, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • This is a vehicle, though.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 05:29, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • What's the difference between a vehicle and a knife or a chair? There's no chance that this vehicle is in the public domain in Denmark unless its "author" has been dead for at least 70 years. --Stefan4 (talk) 09:50, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • A vehicle may be building and thus covered by freedom of panorama. Quoting from the commented, preliminary version of the law ("Revision af Ophavsretslovgivningen, slutbetænkning fra udvalget vedrørende revision af ophavsretslovgivningen", betænkning nr. 1997, Copenhagen, 1990, page 180), the term buildings in the context of Danish freedom of panorama includes not only houses and similar, but also bridges, ships and similar structures. So why not this thing?
        And regarding utilitarian objects, while they may very well be copyrighted, the requirements for something to be a derivative work are stricter. I do not think it is clear whether a photograph of a utilitarian object is a derivative work. Peter Alberti (talk) 19:09, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        • Assuming that you mean betænkning nr. 1197 (not 1997), then yes, this sounds reasonable. Apart from bridges and ships, the document tells that

Bestemmelsen må ses på baggrund af, at sådanne bygninger indgår i de miljøer, hvori mennesker færdes, på en så integreret måde, at det i praksis ville være umuligt at håndhæve og adminstrere nogen anden regel.

All utilitarian objects (such as chairs and knives) are included in those kinds of environments. Shall this mean that all utilitarian objects are to be treated as "buildings", then?
Reading further down on the page, I see this statement:

Det skal dog her understreges, at reglen ikke indebærer nogen indskrænkning i ophavsmandens ret til i overensstemmelse med god skik at få sit navn angivet i forbindelse med afbildningen, jfr. forslaget til §11.

I'm not sure how "god skik" is interpreted in Denmark, but in Sweden (where the law uses the the similar wording "god sed"), courts seem to have decided that you don't have to include the name of the author of a work if it would be unreasonably hard for you to find the name of the author. Thus, I'd assume that the vehicle designer has to be attributed if you know who the designer is, but that you can leave out his name if you have no simple way of finding his name and that lack of the name of the author isn't a reason for deletion but that it always is better if the name is provided somewhere on the file information page. --Stefan4 (talk) 19:53, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio. This file was uploaded by en:User:Ayça Leovinus on March 28, 2007. And This original image was posted to Wowturkey on November 6, 2005 by ayça_leovinus (in wowturkey.com). en:User:Ayça Leovinus in English Wikipedia was one of the sockpuppets of en:User:Shuppiluliuma. As long as I understand by comparing contribution of User:Ayça Leovinus and ayça_leovinus. Especially field of interest of ayça_leovinus (architecture, archaeology etc) is very different from User:Ayça Leovinus (military etc). On the one hand, in wowturkey.com some users called ayça_leovinus "Ayça Hanım" (Mrs. Ayça, generally Ayça is female name), on the other hand it's clear that en:User:Ayça Leovinus should be male. So I think User:Ayça Leovinus used the name of ayça_leovinus to upload this image and User:Ayça Leovinus doesn't have any right on this image. Takabeg (talk) 14:29, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

russavia (talk) 06:43, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

First of all, thanks for reviewing some articles on wikimedia. To be honest, I have not understood yet the problem with some of my pictures and I haven't got any further explanation on your words (I could see something on the "FOP" link you left)

I guess you mean that there are some policies related to the buildings on UAE that my images don't follow.

I can say that I took some pictures in there and I have't asked anyone on the UAE if he/she mind about using images of his country.

I didn't know I was breaking some rules (I just wanted to contribute with some of my pictures) but in that case, I hardly believe that all of the pictures of the UAE shown on Commons are following that directives

So, if it is possible, I just want to know what's the difference between my pictures and "almost every other" picture of UAE shown on wikicommons

Thanks for your help,

--KeDaO (talk) 23:01, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • @KeDaO: hello and thanks for your contributions. The answer to your question is COM:De minimis. If no single or prominent building is the chief subject of an image (e.g. a general skyline or cityscape view), it is thus acceptable as "de minimis".
For the FOP, unfortunately the UAE copyright law does not allow free, unrestricted commercial exploitations of images of modern buildings (Burj Khalifa and Burj al Arab included), without authorization from the copyright holder of the said architectural works. Usually the copyright holders are the architects or architectural firms who created/designed the appearances of the buildings (e.g. Adrian Smith for the Burj Khalifa and Tony Wright for the Burj al Arab). Per COM:FOP UAE, which is supported by the current copyright law of UAE, there is no sufficient and Commons-acceptable FOP from UAE. A very restricted provision only states that free uses of images of architecture are only allowed in broadcasting programmes (no mention of free uses of photographs).

No COM:FOP in the UAE.

russavia (talk) 19:04, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My comments to the Deletion request of Burj Khalifa March 2013.jpg.
I took the above picture and published it on Commons not being aware of the COM:FOP concept. To get a better understanding what this, and how it is applied in UAE I tried to follow the Commons discussion referred to in the deletion request message. I only to ended up in an endless discussion that seem to conclude that it is not clear that it is allowed to publish picture of architectural work (e.g. buildings) in UAE and consequently these picture should be removed since it could be a violation to the law. The problem I have is why then is not all pictures of buildings in UAE removed from Commons, why only some? Why should the picture I took be deleted while other pictures of the same building are still on Commons since many years and there is no request to remove them? In most countries (including UAE) it is clearly indicated by signs at the place or building when photography is not allowed, and consequently they cannot be published, These signs do exists is shopping malls, airports, harbors, religious places, etc but no such signs does exist for Burj Khalifa. I understand the clear distinction between taking a picture and publish the same, but wouldn't the two go hand in hand for public places? Not to mention the thousands of pictures on Internet already published of the Burj Khalifa.
I simply like to understand what pictures I take that I can publish and which I cannot, so that I do not make the same mistake again. Can someone clarify?/Losttraveller (talk) 03:37, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
First, please understand the difference between a copyright problem (which this is) and a prohibition against taking pictures for some reason -- military installations, art inside museums, etc. Our concern is copyright. We are not concerned with other restrictions -- while the photographer may get in trouble for taking a picture in violation of the posted signs, that is not a Commons problem. The problem here is that the architect of Burj Khalifa owns the copyright. While it is perfectly legal to take a picture for your own use, such a picture may not be used in ways which would infringe on the copyright, including use on Commons. There is no real relationship between the two types of restrictions.
Second, some pictures of buildings are OK -- usually because the building is old enough so that the copyright has expired, but in some cases because the architect has given a license.
Third, please understand that Commons is not perfect. We have more than 18 million images here. It would not surprise me if 1% of those -- 180,000 -- were problems for one reason or another. So, the fact that there may be other images that should also be deleted is a problem, but it does not affect the question of whether these images should be deleted. If you see other images that are similar, please nominate them for deletion by clicking on the link in the left column of the image page. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:12, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
First, please believe me that I do understand the differences in copyrights that you describe above, likewise do I understand the rest you explain. Although I still do not have the answer to my question: when can I publish a picture of a building in UAE? Is there any way for me to know which buildings in UAE that have copyrights or when that copyright has expired? There is appr 45 pictures of Burj Khalifa in Commons, four of them has now been tagged for removal. Why only these four and not all 45? Logically if these four violates the rules, so must all 45, or...?
Please understand that I have never objected to have the pictures deleted, I just like to understand when a picture violates the rules and when not../Losttraveller (talk) 19:51, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Info On this deletion request the SVG from copyrighted photos was not seen as copyright violation. --Ras67 (talk) 00:14, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Ras67: that discussion involved two copyrights: the copyright on the egg itself and the copyright on a photo (derivative) of said egg. Since the egg's author died in 1920 (>70 years), those copyright restrictions have expired. If the uploader of File:Third imperial Fabergé egg.svg based the file on the egg itself, there is no copyright infringement. If the uploader based the file on a copyrighted photograph, that would indeed be copyvio. However, the uploader argues that they did not use any copyrighted picture in particular. In the case of the Burj Khalifa diagrams, the building's author--Adrian Smith--is still alive, which means that not even the original is in the public domain. Any derivative, even derivatives of derivatives, will have to deal with copyright restrictions until 70 years afther Smith's death. --HyperGaruda (talk) 05:32, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Themightyquill. To me, it seems obvious that a photograph is the result of an opto-electronic process: light from the building is captured by the camera and converted via electronics and computing to become an image. Sure there is artistic judgement involved, but the information in the photo is derived directly from the environment.
For my drawing, I composed hundreds of shapes which to my eye resemble the floor plans, then arranged them to make a representation of the building. (I admit that tracing a photo, for example, is a grey area, but this is not in my case.)
Look carefully at my illustration: Is the real building just a collection of planes floating in space? Do these "floors" have colours like mine?
I think that considering a non-grey-area drawing as a violation of FOP is a dangerous slippery slope; where does one draw the line? For example, if I claim that this: /\ is a drawing of Burj Khalifa, does that violate FOP?
Cheers, '⎆ 21:55, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
Sure, /\ is not a violation of copyright (no FoP to speak of here) but wouldn't a super accurate photo-realistic illustration of the building be infringement, even if it's not photograph based? Derivative work doesn't need to be derived directly from the environment. Your illustrations are a floor-by-floor recreation of the buildings. They are far more detailed than, say, me sketching the building on a napkin with pencil. There may be gray area about some illustrations, but I don't see your illustrations as gray area. I like them a lot, they are clearly useful, and if there's a way we can keep them, I'm all for it but we need a clear rationale. - Themightyquill (talk) 07:53, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder why File:Skyline-Dubai-2010.jpg was kept with the reason of "Panoramic view of the city" per Commons:Deletion requests/Images of Category:Burj Khalifa (as File:Burj Khalifa 005.JPG in the DR) when FOP applies to all buildings and not BK only.

To the 21st one and eternal further, no freedom of panorama in UAE! Why we are the sole ones who protect Adrian Smith's rights? It seems to me, that the rest of the world is not interested in this case. IMHO the skylines are copyrighted too.

@JWilz12345: I read this page carefully. In this page, I found this sentence. "Cityscape, skyline, or vista photos may be acceptable if no single building is the primary subject." It means that both cityscape photos and skyline photos are allowed. And this page contains outdated content. For example, Atomium in Belgium is allowed now because Belgium has freedom of panorama now, but this page explains that Atomium is not allowed. Ox1997cow (talk) 04:22, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ox1997cow: slashed my vdel input. While the page is outdated for Atomium, it is still relevant for Burj Khalifa and Burj al Arab, as long as there is no acceptable FOP from UAE. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 09:06, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, the skylines are not {{Deminimis}}. Every building in these images is copyrighted, it's not in the "sense" of the law to "stack" copyrighted objects and so make them free. The "deminimised" objects have to be "nonessential" and "casual" elements, what is not the case in the skyline photographs. Regards --Ras67 (talk) 21:20, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@JWilz12345: Lack of freedom of panorama does not mean that we cannot create categories of copyrighted buildings or sculptures. So, why does categories of copyrighted games exist? (Such as Category:StarCraft, Category:Overwatch, Category:Call of Duty, etc...) Ox1997cow (talk) 12:47, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If the skyline photo incidentally contains copyrighted buildings, these photos are allowed under de minimis. Categories of buildings or sculptures in countries without freedom of panorama exist for this kind of situation. Ox1997cow (talk) 12:56, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ox1997cow: see Category:Sólfar (a copyrighted sculpture in Iceland, with all files deleted via Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Sólfar). See also Category:SM City San Pedro. For buildings, they can go under Category:Buildings in Dubai or Category:Skyscrapers in Dubai. This category has been abused IMO, and it seems new uploaders ignore warnings on top. Also if the category needs to be nuked, this should be locked until the year the building falls PD or UAE changes their copyright law. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 13:31, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@JWilz12345: That's an extreme case. When uploading to the category of copyrighted things, there is no problem if we follow the warning and upload. Ox1997cow (talk) 14:07, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@JWilz12345: By the way, why are you taking the extreme case and giving it as an example? In the previous deletion discussion, you used that only examples of misuse of NoFoP templates were taken as examples, and you claimed that all NoFoP templates should be changed with something like {{NoFoP-Japan}}. Ox1997cow (talk) 14:19, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ox1997cow: the simple answer is that the {{NoUploads}} are, in my opinion, ineffective. I doubt most uploaders will understand what the template means in relation to copyrighted FOP-reliant works: works like buildings, sculptures, statues, monuments, memorials, and public murals/frescoes. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 14:41, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To end all this mess because of limited exception (broadcasting programs only) in UAE copyright law, are there any attempts by Wikipedians in UAE and Arab Wikipedians to have FOP introduced in the desert kingdom?

I don't understand. Surely most/all those other buildings are subject to copyright as well. Either all buildings in this image (including Burj Khalifa) de minimis or all are subject to copyright restrictions, no? -- Themightyquill (talk) 07:56, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Soumya-8974 and Ixfd64: for a more eternal or longterm approach, has anyone including Arab Wikipedians and Wikipedians based in UAE have taken steps to introduce FOP there, at least "for buildings only" (yellow countries)? I expect dozens of more copyvio images to be uploaded here, including: this one. I'm not sure if people aren't aware of no FOP there or just intentionally "testing our no-FOP policy on UAE". I would also want to suggest filtering out exactly the words "Burj Khalifa" so that new users will no longer be able to upload images either containing the said words in their file names or in their file descriptions, at least temporarily (while UAE has no FOP for photos). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 09:16, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@JWilz12345: Excessive file name restrictions are bad. Suppose someone uploaded a file name of the Dubai Skyline with Burj Khalifa as "Remote view of Burj Khalifa". Skyline photos with Burj Khalifa are allowed even if there is no freedom of panorama in UAE, as last deletion discussion concluded that they were OK. If you ban the use of "Burj Khalifa" in file names, we won't be able to upload acceptable skyline or cityscape photos. Ox1997cow (talk) 11:57, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@JWilz12345: And many people do not know freedom of panorama. I also mistakenly thought that the copyright of a building or sculpture photo belonged to the person who took it, until I saw numerous photos of the building or sculpture deleted from Wikimedia Commons. Ox1997cow (talk) 11:59, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ox1997cow: no, de minimis photos can still be uploaded, thru titles like "Dubai skyline 20211103.JPG", "Skyline of Dubai, UAE as seen from the Marina in 2019.jpg." If images bearing such file names continue to be uploaded, the location filled with millions of deleted files from late-2006 may become "crowded" in the very distant future. Besides files do not get "deleted" in real life, but rather all "deleted" files are still there, just hidden from non-admins (as per Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) on his reply here). See also w:Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2006-06-19/Image undeletion on the mechanism of files deleted on Wikipedia (which also applies to all Wiki sites). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 13:33, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@JWilz12345: You're thinking too extreme. A lot of users will use the copyrighted building name in the file name, but can we ban the copyrighted building name in the file name? And did you think about typos? (For example, "Bur Kalifa", "Buri Khaljfa", etc.) Ox1997cow (talk) 15:37, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@JWilz12345: I've known you're an extreme claimant since you had the deletion discussion related NoFoP templates. Even in that discussion, you brought only cases where NoFoP templates were misused and insisted that use of NoFoP templates should only be used in category namespace. Even if use of NoFoP templates is changed to be used in category namespace, there is no guarantee that it will not be misused. Ox1997cow (talk) 15:46, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ox1997cow: I look on longterm solutions and not "band-aid" solutions. Thus it is best to filter out such names. Actually Commons has already did a version of what you call very extreme approach: indefinite protection of file names that is comonly misused. Example: File:Burj Khalifa.jpg. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 16:21, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That approach of locking the file name prompted me to suggest such. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 16:26, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@JWilz12345: Keep that in mind. Such long-term solutions can hurt many users. Even though it is forbidden to use only "Burj Khalifa" in a file name, I know that using a file name containing "Burj Khalifa" is difficult to ban. Ox1997cow (talk) 16:46, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ox1997cow: and also take note of COM:CARES. The copyright holders include the architects and artists of national monuments. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 16:53, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Soumya-8974: I couldn't find anything about Adrian Smith being incarcerated. His article on the English Wikipedia doesn't say anything either. Could you provide a source? Ixfd64 (talk) 17:43, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, thank you! I have probably misheard a piece of news related to the still-unfinished Jeddah Tower, also designed by Adrian Smith. --Soumya-8974 (he) (talkcontribs) 17:53, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@JWilz12345: Of course I know the copyright holders include the architects and artists of national monuments. Anyway, even though I agree to ban file name containing only "Burj Khalifa", I cannot accept your extreme argument of banning file names containing "Burj Khalifa". Ox1997cow (talk) 16:57, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As a compromise, how about using the edit filter to just warn the user if they try to upload a picture containing the name? Ixfd64 (talk) 17:44, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Keep skyline images. De minimis use of the Burj Khalifa, there’s a precedent for this. The freedom of panorama page of English Wikipedia literally shows a skyline in a non-FOP country. I struggle to see why the images that just show the base aren’t de minimis but that’s not my expertise. The blacked-out version is artistically interesting but a ridiculous solution to a nonexistent problem (buildings are not more copyrighted because they’re famous and impossible not to notice in a generic panorama!)

3 files - 3 times own work claimed - but by two authors: user:Browneyespercy or by user:QuecyKeith. Who is the logo designer? I guess none of both. ;-) Permission from the organization needed.

Please...Kindly, do not delete the files because broweyespercy, and QuecyKeith are the same person...
I uploaded the files first through browneyespercy and I guess it is the logo designer...I'm very sorry and I admit that its my fault and that I should had upload it in that same account...Further notice or instructions regarding these matter is highly appreciated...Thank you very much... — Preceding unsigned comment added by QuecyKeith (talk • contribs) 2012-01-14T06:25:58‎ (UTC)
Hi QuecyKeith, thanks for your message here (I have styled it a bit in the usual way). So who designed the logo, who is the author? What did you make? Did you just make a photo of the school's logo or are you an employee of this school? You do not need to make any details public - you can send a message to OTRS from the school's official email address and confirm. Please just reply here if you want to. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 18:41, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Hello! Saibo...Thanks for your kindness and consideration...The author and designer of the logo is QuecyKeith because i want the logos to be in one account. Also, I've already request deletion on that logo at my browneyespercy account...Please...kindly, do not delete the File:SMSP LOGO.jpg because it is the original version of the school logo...I'm not connected in that school, my wife either graduated at that school and she often attended in their yearly Alumni and I've found out that their school wasn't yet in the WikiPedia and so I am challenged to voluntarily make the article...— Preceding unsigned comment added by QuecyKeith (talk • contribs) 2012-01-15T09:42:13‎ (UTC)

The cited source does not have this image or anything at all on Louis Boekhout. The cited source is not licensed CC-SA. THe cited author is not the uploader and no evidence of permission is given.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 12:06, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jim

Louis Boekhout really had his own web page as can be seen by the webcache as of 23 dec 2011 http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:o8aVxYub2foJ:www.repertoirecultureloutaouais.ca/louisboekhout+%22Louis+Boekhout%22&cd=3&hl=fr&ct=clnk&gl=ca

and it was still up when I uploaded the photo on Commons. The webmaster must have removed the page since Louis Boekhout passed away a few days ago. As you can tell from the webcache, the page contained Louis Boekhout's contact info like his home address, phone number, e-mail address. And since his passing, he obviously can no longer be contacted.

That being said, according to the Canadian Copyright Act, Louis Boekhout is deemed to be the owner of the photograph and copyright holder of his own portrait (person by whom photograph/portrait is ordered), and can use it as he pleases, even commercially. His web page is commercial use, because it is an advertisement of his services and products. And in publicity matters, getting known and recognized is the goal.

Furthermore, the Canadian Privacy Acts also apply. All personal information belongs to the individual, no matter where that information is located, or who holds it. This means that a photograph of an individual can be freely used by that individual, even commercially, no matter who took the picture.

However, in cases where models/mannequins are photographed against retribution, the terms of the contract have precedence.

Canadian Photographers Coalition Lobbyists are complaining against Canadian Copyright Legislation!

Canadian newspapers, magazines, TV stations cannot publish an individual's picture without that person's consent, even if their staff took the pictures. When a person's picture appears in Canadian media, it is after consent was granted. It is usually verbal consent.

There are some exceptions to the Privacy Acts, for example, public figures' pictures can be published by the media without their consent, since they are in the public eye, their information falls under the "Right to Know" principles (Access to Information Legislations).

Yesterday, regional media published the news about Louis Boekhout's passing. They consider this as the public's right to know.


http://www.cyberpresse.ca/le-droit/arts/201201/12/01-4485316-le-maitre-boekhout-seteint-a-lage-de-92-ans.php

Since Louis Boekhout arrived in Chénéville (QC) in 1969 various media have interviewed him over the years. An authorized biography has been written, and is scheduled for publication in the near future.

In short, this is the situation. Hope this helps,

--Bouleau (talk) 22:17, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Forgive me, but since you are relatively new user (257 global edits, 24 on Commons), we need more evidence than your assertions.
According to Commons:Photographs of identifiable people permission is not required for photographs of people in Canada in public places. If that is incorrect, this is not the place for the discussion. In any event, it is moot -- if such a rule exists, it would call for deletion of the image, not retention.
Commons:Licensing#Canada and the law itself says nothing about copyright of photographs of people automatically transferring to the subject. There is a work for hire provision at 13(2) and 13(3), but for that to be effective you will have to show that this image was ordered and paid for. This does not look like a professional photograph -- it is poorly lighted and has a confusing background.
And, finally, even if the image did appear on the source site when you uploaded it, the source site is not licensed CC-SA or with any other free license, so even if Boekhout did own the copyright, it was not properly licensed at the source.

According to Polish Wikipedia, self-promotion -> Out of scope. Takabeg (talk) 03:04, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Art. 40. of the Turkish copyright allows "FoP" only for works of fine arts permanently placed on public streets, avenues or squares.

Takabeg (talk) 00:12, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, File:Istanbul Modern1 franzconde.jpg and File:Istanbul Modern7 rachaelvoorhees.jpg, being outside, would seem not to violate Turkish FOP laws.
"Art. 40. Works of fine arts permanently placed on public streets, avenues or squares may be reproduced by drawings, graphics, photographs and the like, distributed, shown by projection in public premises or broadcast by radio or similar means. For architectural works, this freedom is only valid for the exterior form."
This would seem to indicate that those two pictures also don't violate Turkish de minimus laws, however they do violate United States law (and the Wikimedia is incorporated in the USA) especially since based on the title they are taken not to represent the museum front and the sky but the works specifically. I'm not sure which takes precedence, but I'd probably say to just delete them under the precautionary principle unless someone has a really good reason not to. --Quintucket (talk) 09:20, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Unfortunately, the condision of allowance in the Turkish copyright law is slightly different from others. In related section of the article 40. they especially and intentionally use terms "public streets, avenues or squares" (Umumi yollar, caddeler ve meydanlar). We can find in terms such as open spaces and/or public premises (Umuma açık mahaller) in other sections. Umumi yollar, caddeler ve meydanlar are included in Umuma açık mahaller. But Umumi yollar, caddeler ve meydanlar are not equal to Umuma açık mahaller. Even Turkish-speaking users sometimes confuse them. Takabeg (talk) 09:54, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not entirely sure I understand the distinction. But could you tell me about the legal status of a few pictures I've been meaning to take.
  1. The front of the Izmir Archeology Museum (and once it's reopened, the Ethnography Museum, which is in the same courtyard), which is unless the building is older than 70 years? It's visible from a walkway that I think is on museum property, but not from the street, you have to go right up to the courtyard between the Archeology and Ethnography museums to see it.
  2. The municipal office buildings, or complex (I forget what they're called, though they start with an "m". Mürdüğlu?), from the square that requires one to pass through security?
  3. The inside of public transit buildings, such as iskelesi and train stations?
  4. The inside of malls and piers (not inside the stores, the storefronts), which don't include artwork, but do include logos and such?
  5. The inside of a Migros?
Thanks, --Quintucket (talk) 11:40, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
For architectural works, this freedom is only valid for the exterior form (Bu salâhiyet mimarlık eserlerinde yalnız dış şekli munhasırdır.). Takabeg (talk) 11:59, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
So first two = yes, last three = no? Interiors of government buildings are a no-go (not that I care about any except the ferries and train stations)? What about signs/train tracks on outdoor metro stations? And what about Migros, since there's no architecture visible, assuming I'm taking pictures of the aisles? --Quintucket (talk) 14:01, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • The arguments of Takabeg sound very solid to me, and even if in some cases, already pointed out by Quintucket, one could argue that the photos depict "public" spaces and/or they could be kept evoking Commons:De minimis , I think we should follow the precautionary principle. I apologise for forgetting that copyrights apply not only to the authors of the photos, but also to what it's shown in the photos, when I uploaded them. I'll try to be more careful next times.
PS: @Takabeg: don't bother notifying me if you find more photos uploaded by me that are unappropriated, as I have them of my watched pages and I couldn't agree more with the fine job you are doing pointing out copyright violations. --Stegop (talk) 01:10, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I got permission to upload this photo when I still had contact with the author. I should have gone through OTRS in the first place to confirm this, but I didn't know that at the time. I no longer have contact with the author and thus I can't confirm his permission to use this image. Therefore I nominate this image for deletion. Tooga (talk) 20:05, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hej Tooga! We don't normally require uploaders to reconfirm permissions for files uploaded before OTRS was established, unless there is some reason to doubt the permission. COM:OTRS was created in late 2006, but I don't think it was widely used yet when you uploaded this in April 2007. If you're comfortable that the author understood and agreed to the permission requirements (to allow anyone to use the photo with or without modifications for any purpose, including commercial purposes), then I see no reason not to take your word for it. If you're not sure, I think we should respect that and delete the file. So, are you nominating it for deletion more as a formality, or because you actually have doubts about the permission's actual validity? LX (talk, contribs) 18:54, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I made it very clear to the author that the image could be used for every purpose, even commercially, and got the authors permission. So yes, this is more as a formality and a way for me to be sure I don't have any legal disputes about this in the future. Mainly considering this is one of two images I've uploaded that haven't made myself. The other image is from the 1912 Olympics (File:1912 Ragnar Wicksell.JPG), and thus I do not worry about it.
There is actually another issue, however vauge, with this image that I've thought about it. It could be argued that the tifo displayed in the image is copyrighted art. This would also put another of my images at risk. (File:Aik tifo at Råsunda 080424.jpg) It's not art which is permanently displayed, and thus freedom of panorama does not apply. What do you think about this issue, LX? Tooga (talk) 13:14, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
On File:Derby at Söderstadion 280806.JPG, I'd say that any copyrightable material in the tifo is at such an angle and such a small part of the overall composition that it should be considered de minimis. The banner at the bottom is {{PD-text}}, so there's nothing copyrightable about that. I don't think there's any real issue here. I'm having a bit of trouble seeing what the tifo on File:Aik tifo at Råsunda 080424.jpg is supposed to depict, but I don't there's anything copyrightable about it (apart from the photography itself). LX (talk, contribs) 15:17, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

::::In that case, I don't think there are any issues left for me to worry about. As the nominator, change my stance to Keep. Tooga (talk) 15:26, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can't put this matter to rest if the image is still around. I've created a free alternative for this image myself, so Wikipedia won't have to suffer from this one being deleted. (See File:Söderstadion Pitch and north stand.jpg) Please, I ask of any admin who might see this deletion request to delete the image. I'm currently trying clean up any legal question marks (although it is unlikely I'll ever find myself in a legal dispute due to my images here on commons) in my upload history, and this one is a priority because it isn't taken by myself. Tooga (talk) 16:12, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Per COM:FOP#Japan: outdoor artwork may only be used for non-commercial purposes. ja:さっぽろ羊ヶ丘展望台 tells that the statue was erected there in 1976. File:Hitsujigaoka.jpg can maybe be kept as de minimis. Note that three of the photos were uploaded by a deceased editor.

Stefan4 (talk) 21:15, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment This artistic work is "permanently located". But whether Hitsujigaoka observatory is considered as an "open place accessible to the public, such as streets and parks, or at places easily seen by the public", is up for debate. Takabeg (talk) 16:20, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • The problem is that Article 46 limits the usage of artworks to non-commercial purposes:
      専ら美術の著作物の複製物の販売を目的として複製し、又はその複製物を販売する場合
      . The observatory can be accessed by anyone by paying a single coin, which is sufficient in some countries. If the statue isn't sufficiently accessible, ja:Template:屋外美術 might not apply, making them invalid for Japanese Wikipedia. However, the non-commercial restriction makes them incompatible with Commons regardless of whether the hill is accessible to the public or not. --Stefan4 (talk) 16:40, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
専ら means "solely", "entirely", "wholly", "exclusively". The paragraph 4 of the article 46 says "reproduction of an artistic work exclusively for the purpose of selling its copies and sale of such copies." If the observatory is considered as the place thta can be accessed easily, these image can be kept. But in some parks such as The Expo’70 Commemorative Park there is the prohibition on taking photographs. Takabeg (talk) 17:48, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That is an interesting observation. I looked at both versions (English and Japanese) and didn't think of what effect exclusively/moppara would have. I think that you may have a point: if someone takes a photo and uploads a photo to Commons, the purpose for taking the photo would usually not be exclusively for the purpose of selling copies of it, but there would also be other purposes such as illustrating a Wikipedia article. This could mean that Commons images are exempt from the non-commercial requirement. Since this would affect some policies (at least COM:FOP#Japan and ja:Wikipedia:屋外美術を被写体とする写真の利用方針), I think that this discussion should be announced more publicly. --Stefan4 (talk) 19:16, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm. Actually not only in Wikimedia Projects but in real world, someone who wants to use it freely, explains that Article 46 may allow taking photographs freely, on the other hand someone who claims his/her copyrights explains that the Article 46 may prohibit taking photographs or allow only taking photographs but don't allow distribute photographs. Considering the risks, I personally think we have not to permit them. In any case, I think 写り込み (when the concerned subject is not as main subject) should be permitted.

  •  Delete, except for File:Hitsujigaoka.jpg where the artwork is de minimis. The paragraph 4 of the article 46 prevents the uploading to Commons of photos in which this statue is the centrepiece, because they are not freely re-usable. The existence of such photos on the Commons itself is not legally problematic, but that is not the point here. Allowing free re-use of all collected material without any restrictions is the core purpose of this project and since Commons cannot legally grant free re-use of the mentioned photos, they cannot stay here. — Yerpo Eh? 13:34, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: I have deleted them all -- in File:Hitsujigaoka.jpg it is not de minimis as the statue is the only thing in the image beside an indistinct skyline -- it is clearly the principal subject of the image.

Many countries allow FOP for NC use and we forbid such images in all of them. .     Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 21:29, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No FOP in Japan. The statue was erected in 1976. [11]
