Copyvio - see http://www.whensallymetsally.co.uk/news/celebrity/naya-rivera-says-her-lesbian-character-in-glee-has-helped-gay-fa (crop of larger picture) and Commons:Deletion requests/File:Lara Stone NYC.jpg Bulwersator (talk) 21:28, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This picture was taken by me. http://www.jiyangchen.com It was taken by them from wikipedia and put on their website without credit, and same with the Lara Stone picture. Jiyangc (talk) 05:50, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File uploaded here in June 2011; that source is October 2011. The image does exist on http://jiyangchen.com/photography/people/ though the server date there is in August, so even that seems to be after the upload here. There is an early August source here which does attribute the image correctly. Certainly seems like the real photographer uploaded here. The source you give is not evidence of copying -- rather the other way; they probably took it from here (note the degraded quality of the image on that site -- the image there is simply a scaled-up and cropped version of the one here; I scaled up this version to compare and they are pretty much identical). So,  Keep. The Lara Stone photo is available on http://blog.jiyangchen.com which was the likely source for the other website (which predated the upload here by about a day, but I'm not seeing any real reason to doubt this user's uploads).

Unsure if it is de minimis Lophotrochozoa (talk) 01:08, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Let's write it here for all the photos you are nominating. I have no problem if you want to delete it, including the other one that originally you have requested for speedy deletion (on which I disagreed, the title was "cité internationale" but it was just a photo of the panorma of the whole town, it wasn't a "speedy deletion" procedure, it is good that you changed it). Notice than when I uploaded these pictures there were (and still are) on commons other photos where the building(s) of the cité occupied more the 50% of the image at its centre, and was the only things you could see, so I would have prefered to see you nominate them as first, but I expect you to do it in the following hours.

My pictures are just pictures of panorama: there is a big building that I have to include in them when a take a picture from north to south on that hill of Caluire-et-Cuire. When I uploaded them I made a decision to classify them also in the "Cité Internationale" category because these are exactely the type of picture that people in countries where copyright of "artworks" in public places is a problem can use. For the same reason I put that specific title, even if they weren't fully centered on the building of the C.I. Some of the other picture yo have nominated are pictures of parts of the buildings, which as far as i know are also acceptable.

Besides that, as far as i know, people can use the picture where these types of copyright problems don't exist. I think that as long as a clear warning is put that states to check laws of the different countries, it is ok..; if I use the picture on a wikipedia hosted in a country where the law is ambigous is a problem, but the most logical thing is to delete it from there if used, not from here. For example, there are photographs on commons of which the author has died more than 70 years ago but less than 99, and we don't delete them; we just put a warning that states to pay attention to the few countries where the use could be a problem. It is the same thing here, in my opinion. So even the pictures of other authors where you see only the buildings of the C.I. should remain.

Just my opinion, feel free to do what you want, but if you erase my photos, than I expect you to erases them all, just that.--Alexmar983 (talk) 01:48, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect geometry of the azo group; orphaned. Leyo 13:23, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep Incorrect reasoning. There is nothing wrong with geometry as there is no geometry information in it, because no geometry information can be given. So, picture is perfectly valid, as are several other ones that Leyo nominated today. Annabel (talk) 18:39, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Only if bonds are in fact linear, they are actually drawn linearly. Everything else is misleading and a bad habit from a teaching point of view. --Leyo 22:44, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That's not true. Maybe different instituations or universities teach it in different ways, true ... though this does not mean it is forbidden or wrong to draw some bonds in a "linear way". It is only another projection of the true three dimensional geometry. Annabel (talk) 06:40, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It is not about what is forbidden or not. Please stop your silliness. --Leyo 03:37, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete This poor quality structure is misleading, does have an chemically incorrect N=N-bond; hence this picture is not educational, and subject to deletion.

Incorrect geometry of the azo groups; poor quality, orphaned. Leyo 13:25, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect reasoning. There is nothing wrong with geometry as there is no geometry information in it, because no geometry information can be given. There is however a better quality alternative: Benzopurpurine 4B.svg Annabel (talk) 18:37, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The poor quality makes it unusable anyway. Since there is a much better alternative (File:Congo-red-2D-skeletal.png), there is no reason for keeping it anyway. The geometry issue is only an additional reason for deletion. BTW: The File:Benzopurpurine 4B.svg you mentioned does not show the same substance. --Leyo 23:14, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
OK. We have a totally different meaning about geometry, as is the case for the other nominated pictures. Agree on the image quality. Annabel (talk) 06:48, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect geometry of the azo group; orphaned, low quality. Leyo 13:28, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep A non-chemist writes Do these "rectilinear" versions of the molecular structure still have value? Topologically they're still correct and they're simpler, even if they don't indicate the geometry. Is this still worthwhile to keep them, within the broad scope of Commons? Deletion at Commons should need a really good reason, not merely valid simplification or minor duplication. Certainly "being orphaned" is no reason at all. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:07, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are several correct alternatives in the same category, e.g. File:AIBN Structural Formulae.png. --Leyo 14:16, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That's also more complex and less clear. It is not our role to decide which is most useful, per usage. There is no Commons policy that supports deletion just because alternatives exist.
If you're also planning to stalk my uploads and start retaliatory tagging for deletion just for disagreeing with you, then I suggest Category:Photographs by Andy Dingley might be handy for you. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:42, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Take File:AIBN-2D-skeletal.png or File:AIBN-3D-vdW.png if you prefer.
Copyfraud is a serious problem, also on Commons. I fight it whenever I spot a case. --Leyo 14:54, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep I totally oppose to the way chemical structures are named wrong. There is nothing wrong with this structure. There is as much geometric information in this picture as the alternatives given by Leyo, namely none. If someone else has a different style of making 2D-structures, that does not matter, all are equally correct as long as the numebr of endpoints and the number of nodes of the backbone is correct. This is the way chemists write there chemical structures. Full stop. Annabel (talk) 17:57, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your statement about endpoints and nodes is incorrect: If e.g. C–C≡N is drawn in an angulate way, this is incorrect.
Why can't you just admit that the structural formula you drew back in 2005 is of low quality and misleading? My first uploads of chemical structures were in the same year and they were crappy. If you were even involved in teaching, you would know that such representations of chemical structures may confuse students. --Leyo 23:05, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I can see some argument that File:AIBN.png isn't as good as File:AIBN.jpg, as it doesn't represent the CN bond. However I see no reason why File:AIBN.jpg should be considered as incorrect, rather than merely simplified. They contain less information, but they do not convey incorrect information. In topological terms, they're equivalent. Again, I'm not a chemist, but there does seem to be some practice of using such simplified images. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:26, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In chemical structure formula why should it be wrong to substitute part of the chemical formula with a written form? It's just personal, dependent on the writer and is it is exactly similar to the colour a person likes the most: if you like another colour the most, is the first person wrong? Annabel (talk) 06:45, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
By the way: I do not like substituting pictures on an other wiki, just to be sure that a picture is orphaned. Maybe personal, though the given alternative by Leyo File:AIBN Structural Formulae.png is ugly in my point of view. Annabel (talk) 06:54, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You do not like it, but you did it: [1], [2]! If you consider the whole article, including the reaction scheme in the section Ontleding, it is clear which image should be preferred. I ask you to undo your edit yourself. --Leyo 09:29, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment to closing admin Please recognize that this user started the edit war by putting the image under discussion into the article and continues the vandalism (there is no other word for such a childish behaviour). --Leyo 04:13, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Leyo, if you would like to settle the discussion in a polite way, please mail me and do not call me childish.
To closing admin: I changed the picture which was overcrowded and complex, the editwar was started after my edit on the Dutch wiki. To put all in the right order, my images is called wrong after more than six years. How can an image, if it would be wrong, not be deleted in more than six years? So in the first place my work is called wrong, afterwards I'm called to be someone who does not know anything about chemistry (maybe by accident), next I am called silly and childish and a vandal.

Sorry, but plenty of people at schoool level chemistry have a valid use for simple diagrams that show topological structure without the bond angles. This is a valid reason for such an image. Andy Dingley (talk) 21:57, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This applies to alkanes or organic polymers, but not to structures containing an azo group. It is a major property of the azo group that it is not linear, even though there are not branching atoms (because of the lone pairs).
There are now the opinions of three chemists (of which one is a professor in organic chemistry) who uploaded thousands of high quality chemical structures against a non-chemist and a user who uploaded a few low quality chemical structures… --Leyo 04:13, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Using people's profession in this type of discussion, whether it is professor, lab specialist or researcher, ... is a non argument and is not desirable (even more, what is said here can be called a personal attack). And by the way, I am a PhD in chemistry. This is not the way to settle a different opinion about "chemical correctness" and a different way of teaching chemistry. Annabel (talk) 06:30, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, the point about the fact that the three of us drew and uploaded hundreds of high quality chemical structures and are (together with a handful of others) responsible for ~ 90 % of all chemical structures on Commons used in plenty of different Wikipedias is more important. --Leyo 13:59, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for finally starting to address why this image might be more than simplified and could actually be wrong. Despite it taking innumerable requests, and your other responses ranging between personal attacks, retaliatory tagging the questioner's uploads for deletion, questioning other editor's credentials (I'm not a chemist, but that doesn't make me a fool), and so little understanding of Commons policy that you cite an image being orphaned as cause for deletion. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:42, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete as low-resolution and chemically misleading and replaceable by images that are not misleading (and also higher-resolution). I can envision two audiences (editors and readers and reusers): those who know about azo geometry and those who don't. Among those who know about geometry, either they know it's wrong (and therefore this image is not usable) or they don't know what it should and this image explicitly lies to them (I can't comprehend why that would we should be doing that). In either of those "reader knows geometry" cases, the geometrically correct one is the usable replacement that solves the "educationally useful" problem. Or else the audience doesn't know about geometry and only cares about topology, or even just a pretty picture of a chemical. In these cases, the topologically equivalent and pretty ones that are also chemically correct are just as usable (and as a bonus, they are correct...I don't see the advantage to using an incorrect image when we have a correct one, even if the audience knows nothing about the field of the mistake at all). Commons:SCOPE is clear that we do want "realistically useful for an educational purpose" images, and that having more than one image of a subject is fine if there is a distinct advantage to each. In particular, "Files that add nothing educationally distinct to the collection of images we already hold covering the same subject, especially if they are of poor or mediocre quality." So what does this image add that is educationally distinct? Scope notes that simply higher-quality or more-recent alternative "similar" images do not automatically make older ones deletable due to redundancy, however, "poor or mediocre files of common and easy to capture subjects may have no realistic educational value, especially if Commons already hosts many similar or better quality examples". The chemical fact is that this group is not linear, and it's not correct to say it is (or even to say "azo geometry isn't a chemical detail that actually matters so let's not care if we do it wrong" since it's just as easy to do it right)--cis and trans diazene compounds (and E/Z at imines in general) are chemically distinct species. There are certainly contexts where it really doesn't matter, and a valid educational use exists for a diagram that doesn't illustrate geometry. But this diagram does illustrate geometry, whether that's the intent or not. DMacks (talk) 14:40, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
@DMacks: Thank you for this clear reasoning. I was obviously not able to make my point clear enough. --Leyo 15:59, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
For those who want to read into the issue, please have a look at the reference book used in academic teaching: "Introduction into organic chemistry (Fourth edition)" edited by Andrew Streitweiser, 1999, page 782 to 801. I cite from the English wikipedia: "Andrew Streitwieser (born 1927) is an American chemist known for his contributions to physical organic chemistry.". In the cited book, different molecular structures of azo compounds are shown, with both N-atoms drawn in the same way as in this figure (examples of the same projection as the methyl groups can be found in the rest of the book). So, if this figure is considered wrong, then also Andrew Streitwieser is wrong. How can you combine this two: being wrong and one of those chemists known, respected and recognised in the broad academic community? Annabel (talk) 20:42, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yet another, even more interesting argument, in this comparison is the figure on the English wikipedia showing the different styles of drawing a methyl group: see the second drawing on en:methyl. It does not make a single difference if you change the H and R letters with something else. So also wikipedia is wrong then ... ? Annabel (talk) 20:53, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I do not have this edition of Streitwieser's book available and it's not in Google Books, so I cannot really comment on this. It might be that he used –N=N– inline or to save space. Please do not consider it as a personal attack, but IMO your comparison to the methyl group is unsuitable. --Leyo 22:42, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have that edition, which is actually copyright 1992, and generally does not use as much high-quality graphics as what we now see in current editions of recently-written texts. Leyo appears to be correct. In the cases where it is explicitly written with linear geometry and all three bonds visible as "X-N=N-X", it is in either a chart entry or part of a chemical reaction where this shape fits the page layout well. There is a highlight box in the section the very explicitly discusses the cis/trans nature of the actual geometry of the azo group. And in places where there are single diagrams or more space used, they are not drawn linearly. That's consistent with what I and others have said here: there's a place where this style might be used, but it's not geometrically "correct" at all and there's been no use-case presented where these particular linear-azo one could not be replaced. The examples we're talking about here appear to be displayable at the same overall size without loss of clarify, so the "need this alternative to save space" argument is both speculative (we don't have actual cases presented) and unlikely (it doesn't seem like it would save space). DMacks (talk) 21:30, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
As one more data-point for the modern acceptable ways of doing things, I checked the IUPAC standards (Pure and Applied Chemistry 80:22, 277–410 (2008)). "GR-4.1 Bond angles at chain atoms" states:
When chemical structures are depicted in two dimensions, they should be drawn in a way that accurately represents the true three-dimensional structures... Collinear bonds are of particular concern when producing two-dimensional diagrams. Two bonds should be drawn collinearly in two dimensions if and only if they connect collinearly in three dimensions, and they should be drawn at an angle in two dimensions if and only if they connect at an angle in three dimensions...The relative orientation of adjacent bonds around a double bond should preserve the cis/trans configuration of that double bond. A single bond connected to a double bond by a 180° angle indicates that the cis/trans configuration is unknown in the corresponding structure.
Conversely, "GR-13 Linear drawing style" states:
When presented in the “linear” drawing style, acyclic chains are drawn exclusively with horizontal and vertical bonds. The linear drawing style is used primarily in introductory educational environments where it is necessary to keep the diagrams as simple as possible. It should be considered as not acceptable for general usage.
So although squared and linear-azo might be used in some specific situations, it is not "correct" to do so, and it's only even "okay" in cases where there is a specific reason for it due to specific simplification or other benefit. But the diagram at hand actually looks more complicated when drawn this way rather than with normal angles, and (as GR-4.1 notes) really shouldn't be done in general. DMacks (talk) 18:15, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, this argument is really to the point. I see the comparison between the two "drawing modes". If possible, can you send me a copy of the IUPAC standards document? (just let me know how to give you my mail address) Thanks a lot. Annabel (talk) 18:52, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that the quality is so bad (clearly below any level of acceptance) and there are several alternatives in Category:AIBN is a sufficient reason for deletion. We do not even have to discuss about geometry in this case. --Leyo 23:23, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're confusing the <snark> and <small> tags somewhat. My point is not "What is a N=N bond?", but rather what the difference is between the N=N bond illustrated here (allegedly bad & wrong), and that N=N bond shown in File:AIBN-2D-skeletal.png that you seem to accept. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:17, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete due to incorrect azo geometry and also small size low resolution that in general inhibit (re)usability--existing alternatives solve all these problems. In response to Andy (and I may as well make this explicit here for anyone else reading the recent set of del-reqs): the problem is that the [whatever]-N=N-[whatever] should not be linear, but should (in this case) be zig-zagged or (in some rare cases) C-shaped. See Category:Diazene for the correct possible geometries of this type of structure (that's the parent compound...all the other ones we're discussing differ by what "[whatever]"s are present in place of the H atoms).

It's not only about citing them. Citing is about where the information came from, not about copyright. Take a look at my recent contribution, i am citing where the information came from, but the copyright is mine, because i have remade the diagram.

Is this a copyvio or is the newspaper PD-ineligible? Stefan4 (talk) 12:57, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand your question but I have to say this image is not bound by any Copyright laws and is fully in the public domain!!

User:Merlaysamuel

Could you explain why you think that it is in the public domain? --Stefan4 (talk) 10:08, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
" because it consists entirely of information that is common property and contains no original authorship " Just like other Newspaper logos :)

User:Merlaysamuel

Note that this is an image from India, a former British colony. Could the Indian threshold of originality be similar to COM:TOO#UK, since the country probably inherited laws from India? --Stefan4 (talk) 09:34, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Saying it inherited laws from the UK is absolutely incorrect. Yes, it is based on the same system which the UK practices but to say it inherited the laws is a spurious claim. Can you please remove the deletion tag from the photo now?

User:Merlaysamuel

I'm not sure why that is incorrect. British laws applied in India and when India gained independence, India kept most of the old laws, so it seems entirely correct to state that India inherited British laws. Since India inherited many laws from Britain, it is very possible that India currently applies the British threshold of originality which could create problems for this image. --Stefan4 (talk) 15:40, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I really don't think this image can create an iota of problem. Also, it is my earnest request to you to solve this issue as soon as you can. This petty, trivial discussion is taking up your precious time, not the least, mine.

Moreover, if we really start looking into the country jurisdiction for every image on Wikipedia I'm sure half of them will just vanish :) So please I render this discussion closed from my side as I have nothing more to say frankly! Because I fail to see how this image can create a problem. I hope you will do your utmost to save this harmless, important image. I am sure good sense will prevail. Thanks very much! User:Merlaysamuel


Kept: Although much of what USer:Merlaysamuel says about the law is not correct, I agree that this is entirely text and too simple for copyright. I would question whether it is in scope, but it is in use at WP:EN, so that is not a valid reason for deletion.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 16:09, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I personally don't know who the architect was so I can't say if he died more than 70 years ago (i.e. before 1942), and therefore I don't know if the building could be PD or not.

If you look at another photo that was part of the Sporting News collection, you see this is a photographer who was not employed by Sporting News who has added his copyright notice on the back of this photo. The hologram is seen on this photo as well because Sporting News and some newspapers are using hologram stickers to verify that photos are originals and not copies.

I don't see this as an image that does not feature the work as the main subject. The sculpture is too prominent and centered. Most of the other elements (the trees, the ground et cetera) became secondary instead. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 02:36, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the image is being used in several Wikipedia articles related to both the sculpture and the artist himself, so it is not de minimis (it is the main / intended subject of the image). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 02:39, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete. The previous deletion discussion was erroneous. De minimis doesn't just mean that the subject occupies a small part of the frame; it means that it isn't the focus of the image, either when it was photographed or when it was used. The sculpture is clearly the focus of this photo - it's centered in the frame and it's the only point of interest. Omphalographer (talk) 03:03, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    @Ikan Kekek Romanian DM is patterned on European DM model of "incidental" or "not-the-main-subject" principle as opposed to American "trivial" principle. The principle is enshrined in the copyright laws of many European countries, unlike American version that is based on court rulings (since there is no DM principle in the Title 17 of U.S. Code any way).

Maybe its not OK. Will it be OK x years after authors death? Pyke died in 1948. Gaius Cornelius (talk) 13:44, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the copyright expires 70 years after the death of the signatory. That's why it says "Undelete in 2019" below. Currently, Commons can host signatures of any British people who died in 1941 or earlier. --Stefan4 (talk) 13:55, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect claim for authorship and date. It might qualify as {{PD-art}}. Leyo 14:19, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Some problems were solved with this edit, but the author claim is still incorrect and the original author is still missing. According to w:Wikipedia:Image use policy#Public domain it is still copyfraud. --Leyo 14:50, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Besides that this is a very small part of a "song" so are we really sure this part is long enough to be copyrighted? --MGA73 (talk) 19:37, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Whitney Houston just died and one of her songs was called "I Will Always Love You". The song and music is copyrighted but that does not mean that she has exclusive rights to use the term "I will always love you" because that part is too short to be copyrightable. And just like the alphabet music is made of a limited number of "bricks" (tones). You can't copyright the combination of one or a few tones. The question is "How many tones do you need before it is copyrightable?". --MGA73 (talk) 14:20, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, COM:TOO only mentions images and not text or notes. There are lots of notes of various kinds here which could make the section copyrightable. --Stefan4 (talk) 14:38, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
My guess is that if you have enough notes for it to be recognizable, that's enough notes for it to be copyrightable. A small, but still recognizable snippet might remain on en-wp under fair use (allowed there), but it wouldn't be free. Dolly Parton, not Whitney Houston, wrote I Will Always Love You. cmadler (talk) 15:39, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
At least it was a female :-)
Even if COM:TOO does not mention notes I think it is safe to asume that here is a "to short"-rule. For example I would find it very unlikely that Dolly or Whitney could have copyright for one note by claiming "I have used that note/tone in my music so I have the copyright. So just because was used in some music then the author does not have copyright for it. --MGA73 (talk) 12:36, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: It is certainly correct that there is music too short to copyright. However, this would be recognizable to anyone who knew Schoenberg, hence copyrightable. .     Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 16:51, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Author "unknown" and date (1909) too young to assume that he is dead more than 70 years (which is required for the provided copyright tag). Saibo (Δ) 19:25, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bei der Quellenangabe (ein Forum von Februar 2011) findet sich direkt unter dem Bild von 1909 "Public Domain, no known restrictions". Desweiteren der Hinweis des Verfassers Peter Hartung " ... Alle Fotos von Peter Hartung sind (falls nicht anders angegeben) unter einer Creative Commons-Genehmigung lizenziert. Siehe hier: Foto-Lizenz: CC-BY-NC-ND". Ein Todesdatum des unbekannten Photographen von 1942 oder früher kann von mir leider nicht weiter recherchiert werden. Ein Todesdatum von 1942 oder früher ist aber sehr wahrscheinlich. mfg --Drdoht 10:49, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Die Aufnahme wurde in Schweden gemacht (siehe Text auf der Postkarte). Für schwedische Bilder gibt es den Lizenzbaustein PD Sweden, z.B. siehe [File:Engelb1941vykort.jpg], ich ändere daher jetzt den "copyright tag". --Drdoht 15:34, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
Danke für deinen Kommentar! Zu "Public Domain, no known restrictions" - da müssten wir wissen wieso es Public Domain ist - das kann ja jeder einfach so hinschreiben. Wenn CC-BY-NC-ND für das Foto wirklich stimmen würde, dann wäre es nicht nciht erlaubt. "NC" (nur nicht-kommerziell) und "ND" (nur ohne Abänderungen) sind zwei Einschränkungen der Benutzung, die für alle Inhalte in Commons erlaubt sein müssen (COM:L). "1909" ist das Baujahr des Schiffes, oder? Nicht unbedingt das Jahr des Fotos. Das Schiff gab es laut Forum bis 1959. Auf http://www PUNKT ak190x.de/Dampferalt.htm (wohl eine Postkartenverkaufsseite) ist das Bild auch mit jenen Angaben: Trelleborg DK, Angfärjan "Deutschland" o 30er, 4,00 € Z 2- V220. Was das genau heißen soll, weiß ich nicht.
Zu PD-Sweden: Du beziehst dich also wohl daruf, dass das Bild von unbekannt vor dem 1. Januar 1944 erstellt wurde, richtig? Woher weißt du, dass es vor 1944 erstellt wurde? Und: steht nicht vielleicht auf der Rückseite der Postkarte der Fotografenname? Viele Grüße --Saibo (Δ) 23:22, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Danke für den Link der alten Postkarten http://www.ak190x.de/Dampferalt.htm, das erleichtert den Einstieg in weitere Recherchen.

  • „Public Domain, no known restrictions“ hatte ich so wie dort beschrieben übernommen. Die Rückseite ist nirgends abgebildet.
  • Das mit dem „CC-BY-NC-ND“ betrifft alle anderen Fotos des Forumsschreibers, ich unterstellte ihm daher eine gewisse Kompetenz bei solchen Einstufungen
  • 1909 setzte ich für die Eröffnung der Fährlinie Trelleborg Saßnitz.
  • Desweiteren orientierte ich mich etwas an Vergilbungsgrad und verwendeten Schrifttyp. Wegen der schwedischen Beschriftung Tågfärje / Angfärjan ist sie eindeutig nicht deutschen Ursprungs.

Eröffnung der Fährlinie 1909: två tyska färjorna "Preussen" och "Deutschland", samt de två svenska färjorna "Drottning Victoria" och "Konung Gustav V". Man beachte den Anstrich an den Schlöten. Bei den schwed. Fähren immer zweifarbig, bei den deutschen erst ab Anfang 1920/Mitte 1925 zweifarbig. Nur die deutschen Fähren tragen im Heckbereich zusätzlich den Namen Deutschland oder Preussen über der Einfahrthalle. [7] [8] Nachfolgende Beispiele zeigen, daß man das besagte Photo durchaus auch mit Anfang 1920/Mitte 1925 datieren könnte.

[9] schwedische Postkarte 1911 (SW, vergilbt, Schwesterschiff Preussen, Hafen Trelleburg, Schlot einfarbig)

[10] deutsche Postkarte, beschrieben 1918 (coloriert, Deutschland, Schlot einfarbig)

[11] deutsche Postkarte, ungelaufen, 20-30‘er (SW, Deutschland, Schlot einfarbig)

[12] deutsche Postkarte, ungelaufen, 19?? (SW, schwach vergilbt, altdeutsche Schrift, Deutschland, Schlot einfarbig)

[13] deutsche Postkarte, Poststempel 1925 (SW, vergilbt, Deutschland, Schlot zweifarbig)

[14] deutsche Postkarte, Poststempel 1929 (SW, Schwesterschiff Preussen, Schlot zweifarbig))


1930-1939 wurde auf deutschen Postkarten für Saßnitz der Zusatz „Kreideheilbad“ verwendet. Abbildungen oft mit Marine im Bild. (siehe Google: "Kreideheilbad Sassnitz" und Bilder). In der nationalen schwedischen Schiffsbilderdatenbank [15] findet sich als einziges Bild nur Fo210184 (Bild.Nr. 210184 deutsche Beschriftung, vermutlich 1930-1939, Schlot zweifarbig) und „okänd fotograf“ (unbekannter Fotograf).

  • Der Fährverkehr wurde kriegsbedingt 1940 mit schwed. Schiffe aufrechterhalten. [16]
  • Im 2. Weltkrieg war im Reich das private Fotografieren von militärischen Anlagen/Vorgängen strengstens verboten. Zur militärischen Verwendung der bewaffneten Deutschland 1940-1946 siehe dt. Wiki Deutschland (1909)
  • 1946 wurde die Deutschland von der UDSSR beschlagnahmt und in ANIVA umbenannt. Verschrottung nach 1959 [17]

Ich fasse zusammen: - Postkarte schwedisch wegen Beschriftung, Schwedischer Urheber unbekannt. http://samlingar.maritima.se/marketstore/ - Aufnahme 1909 bis max 1925 wegen Schlotfarbe, Aufnahme nach 1940 ausgeschlossen, da deutsche Kriegsmarine. - PD-Sweden ist ok, womit die ursprüngliche Aussage „Public Domain, no known restrictions“ (siehe gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanz weit oben) sich wieder bestätigt. so, nun ist das Thema erschöpfend abgehandelt. Jeg ønsker en smukke og koldig søndag. --Drdoht 11:28, 29 January 2012 (UTC) eine Schwedentour die ist lustig

Besten Dank für deine Recherchen! Schade, dass die Rückseite nicht leicht findbar ist. Dann PD-Sweden, okay. Ich kenne mich mit dem Schwedischen Urheberrecht nicht aus und weiß nicht, welche Voraussetzungen für "unbekannt" gelten müssen. Viele Grüße --Saibo (Δ) 23:02, 31 January 2012 (UTC) Achja, wie du ja auf der Dateiseite in PD-Sweden nun auch siehst: die Verwendungen in de:Königslinie und de:Deutschland (1909) sollten entfernt werden. --Saibo (Δ) 23:04, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DW of the orignal stamp (see source given). According to Commons:Stamps Danmark has no PD for stamps - which is apparently also what the author of the DW knows (therefore the creation of the DW)... The DW here is too close (that is the intent) to the original that no freie Benutzung can be assumed. Saibo (Δ) 19:32, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Das Original findet sich im Internet und ist damit (offenbar verbotenerweise) frei für jederman zugänglich. - Das Abbild der dänischen Briefmarke besteht aus einer einfachen geometrischen Kombination von elementaren Dingen wie Gleiskörper + Rad + Wasserwelle + Schwalbe in stilisierter Form. Diese Grundelemente wurden für meine Replik mit den Grundzeichenfunktionen eines Graphikprogramms nachempfunden. Es handelt sich also um kein komplexes Gemälde.
  • Meine Replik weicht in allen Farben vom Original ab.
  • Meine Replik verwendet einen anderen Zeichensatz als das Original.
  • Der Wert des Postwertzeichens wurde in meiner Replik an anderer Stelle plaziert.
  • Die Zahnung meiner Replik ist internationales Maß.
Ich sehe keinen Rechtfertigungsgrund, meine Graphik zu löschen. mfg --Drdoht 10:30, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Anm: Die Ähnlichkeit von "geschützten" Google-Earth-Karten zu "freien" Openstreet-Maps ist 100fach höher als im hier betrachteten Fall. --Drdoht 15:48, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
Zuerst zum letzten: Bei Karten musst du beachten, dass die Geographischen Objekte eben an den Stellen sind, wo sie sind - deren Platzierung ist keine schöpferische Leistung. Bei deiner Briefmarkenversion sind zum Beispiels die Wasserwelle (mit den charakteristischen eckigen Bögen) und die Schwalbe fast identisch. Ich höre gern weitere Meinungen.
