Blurryy, even File:Phébus 1900.JPG is a better image Bulwersator (talk) 10:01, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
- Keep I know that the quality of the picture is bad. But the car is very very rare. I have not found any other picture of a Phébus 4-wheeled-car (Quadricycle) on commons. Don't compare with File:Phébus 1900.JPG. That is a 3-wheeled-car (Tricycle). And: Both pictures are used in de:Phébus (Automarke). --Buch-t (talk) 16:48, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
Very blurry image Afifa Afrin (talk) 13:08, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
- Keep Same discussion as 6 years ago. I know that the quality of the picture is bad. But the car is very very rare. I have not found any other picture of a Phébus 4-wheeled-car (Quadricycle) on commons. The picture is used in de:Phébus (Automarke). A bad picture is better than no picture. You can see some details: 4 wheels (not 3 wheels like this) / small wheels (not Highwheeler like this) / open body / no front engine / front passenger seat. --Buch-t (talk) 09:55, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Delete The picture is showing a brutal action to another person. I see a risk, that some is learning that action on wikipedia commons for doing that to another person, wich consider a criminal act. We should not support these acts. The pictures is linked to an articel, decribing this action. I think we even don´t need the illustration of it. Gegensystem (talk) 16:30, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
- Keep Falls within the project scope, is being used by wikipedia, it should be kept per Commons:Not_censored. Monty845 (talk) 18:12, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
- Keep I hate to say it, but, it is being used and regardless of "not being censored" it's acceptable to have this image on Commons as it is (thankfully) our only illustration of this sexual act. Better a drawing than real people! Missvain (talk) 18:37, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
- I hope the picture filters of wikipedia is coming very soon. We have to protect our Childrens of seeing this. -- Gegensystem (talk) 19:22, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Kept: We don't care about the legality of what our media depict, as long as the media itself is legal. In use, not censored. -mattbuck (Talk) 11:35, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
the w:donkey punch is a myth/hoax; there is no need to illustrate how to do something that does not work. The only appropriate illustration would depict the actual likely repercussions of an attempt to perform this act. John Vandenberg (chat) 04:27, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
- Comment - this image was kept at DR 5 months ago - Commons:Deletion requests/File:TTSGA.gif. -mattbuck (Talk) 11:57, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Keep There's an article about it on Wikipedia (you link to it), thus the subject is notable and there are no better images. VolodyA! V Anarhist Beta_M (converse) 05:31, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
- Delete per nom; no discernible educational value. --JN466 11:51, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
- note that this image was in use in that en.wikipedia article until it was deleted by Delicious carbuncle two days ago... meh. Keep - why should a myth which is even relevant enough to have an Wikipedia article not be allowed to be depicted?! COM:NOTCENSORED, thanks. --Saibo (Δ) 19:38, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
- What's the educational value of the image though? If we want to educate people, we need to (and do) tell them that this is an urban legend, and that in real life it would be a very poor idea indeed to hit someone like that. It might leave them paralysed, or dead. This image is of no help here in delivering that message; rather the contrary. --JN466 20:03, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
- So add a third frame: coitus, punch, gravestone. DS (talk) 01:19, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- So what you're suggesting is that making the animation more explicitly about murdering a woman would somehow make it more educational? --JN466 01:31, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, a third frame: woman in neck brace with angry expression, man in handcuffs while being led away by police. DS (talk) 12:29, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- So what you're suggesting is that making the animation more explicitly about murdering a woman would somehow make it more educational? --JN466 01:31, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Keep - We are not here to editorialise. The image was in use, for a long time, so clearly it is educational. Even if not in use now, it was in use and so would be better left for people viewing the page history. Otherwise... well, it's an image depicting an act which is notable enough to have a wikipedia article, that is the sort of thing we routinely provide images for. -mattbuck (Talk) 21:14, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
- So add a third frame: coitus, punch, gravestone. DS (talk) 01:19, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Saibo, you appear to be confusing "deletion" with "removal". I removed the animation from the article. I did not delete it - that is the discussion that is happening here. The animation is cartoonish and unnecessary. The text describes what is alleged to happen - the animation does not increase the reader's understanding. I have no opinion of whether or not the animation should be deleted here, but it does not belong in that article. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 03:31, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- yawn... --Saibo (Δ) 03:05, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

- Keep Is this like Wikipedia, where everything someone doesn't like gets renominated for deletion every six months until it dies, regardless of the merits? N.B. in response to "The only appropriate illustration would depict the actual likely repercussions of an attempt to perform this act", I wouldn't mind if someone wants to add a third comic frame showing the guy getting his mug shot while the lady in a neck brace points him out angrily. ;) Wnt (talk) 23:14, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
- You've ignored the basis for deletion. The previous DR was focused on whether Commons is censored. If it were an animation of an actual sex act, or steps to make a bomb, "not censored" would be a valid argument. However, in this DR I am saying the animation is erroneous and therefore it is disinformation and promotion of a hoax. It would be like having an animation of a severed yet "re-animated" head of an evil scientist forc[ing] a zombie father to strip his beautiful daughter so he, the evil head, can lick her naked body from the bedpan he's sitting in and--yes--even go down on her.[1]. (that is the same source used for "Donkey punch") John Vandenberg (chat) 09:11, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Well, if you can draw that I'll do my part in voting to keep. I'm not sure we have a Wikipedia article we can use it in, but [with inclusionistic glee] I'm not altogether sure we don't. :) Wnt (talk) 18:13, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Delete - the nom is correct - file is not educational at all, but is promotion of a hoax. 80.1.157.212 01:33, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Keep Should we remove all illustrations of dragons because they are hoaxes ? Léna (talk) 01:40, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- No, because there is a long and culturally notable history of artwork depicting dragons in secular, religious and alchemical contexts. So of course we would have examples in Commons, they are educational. You can find educational sources in the real world that contain such images. (Depictions of dragons have the added advantage of not modelling behaviour that might break someone's neck.) Cheers, --JN466 01:47, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Delete Since doesn't exist. Now all the castration articles could use that person's talents, don't you think? One for ritual, one for punitive, one for crime, one for transsexual operation, etc. since I'm sure there are all sorts of techniques. Let's keep this encyclopedic! Carolmooredc (talk) 02:02, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Well, you have a point there. w:Sex reassignment surgery is completely unillustrated! Isn't there one of those quack doctors who would CC-license a surgery video for us to use? Certainly it would be a useful improvement to the article. Wnt (talk) 18:17, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Delete This issue is an urban myth, one that could lead to serious injury or death. The image is the very opposite of educational. SlimVirgin (talk) 03:30, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Keep This will always be an ongoing discussion here or on the talk page. The animation is actually OK in my opinion considering the nature of the subject. The Foundation has expressed the importance of images while editors (along with scholars) have written essays on how we all take in content differently.
- Not using actual photographs has been a good thing for the project since we can illustrate images while at least tempering the knee-jerk reactions. But the alternative to such an image is an actual photograph of someone (I'll be the receiver or giver if we really want to start taking pictures). it all comes down to an image assisting the article. if you don't want to see it you have the following options: Don't search for such a vile subject 2: Adjust your settings. Cptnono (talk) 05:23, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Please have another think. Haven't you just gone automatically into NOTCENSORED mode because the image may be offensive? Offensiveness is not a reason to delete, but in itself offensiveness is not a reason to keep an image, either. To be in scope, it has to be educational, which means “providing knowledge; instructional or informative”. That comes first. It is the basic requirement, before any thoughts of offensiveness and ignoring offensiveness come into play. So, what legitimate knowledge, instruction or information does this image actually provide? As far as I can see, it provides misinformation, and potentially life-threatening misinformation at that, by creating the impression that this is a sexual practice that is actually performed, and potentially tempting some ignorant kid to try it. What is the educational purpose here – teaching someone how to break a girl's or woman's neck and land yourself in jail? Can you imagine any bona fide educational source that would feature this image? Bear in mind that this animation has been viewed close to half a million times over the past quarter of a year. If there isn't an educational purpose, are we keeping it for lulz then? --JN466 05:53, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, maybe we don't see the same things in this picture, so I'm going to explain what I see. I see a man being extremely violent to a woman for his sole pleasure and the woman being in incredible pain and danger, especially in the second part of the animation. I think the violence of the hoax is really more accessible with this animation than with "just" text, in the same way pictures in Category:Graph theory make complex notions more easily understandable. I think it says a lot about American culture, especially its vision of sexuality and men/women relationships, that such a hoax could occur and become popular. Léna (talk) 11:43, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Keep Please as already said COM:NOTCENSORED. The image is violent, we can describe it more accurately. We can also put a warning we are not bound to neutrality as on wikipedia. I would rather have this hoax described and clearly illustrated with the good warning than censored. PierreSelim (talk) 11:55, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Comment - Commons is fucked. End of my uncensored statement. Carrite (talk) 07:15, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

- Delete - Idiotic misogynistic original art, without socially redeeming value. Does ORIGINAL RESEARCH mean anything here? Doubtful. Carrite (talk) 07:17, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- To answer your question, Original Research is not an argument here. OR material is acceptable on Commons. Also please see COM:NPOV VolodyA! V Anarhist Beta_M (converse) 08:05, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- Yup, we're happy with original research here, we just don't like personal artwork without educational use. That this image was in use for a long time implies it was educational. -mattbuck (Talk) 10:01, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

- Wow, that's a new keep argument: a recently created animation is comparatively old, therefore it is educationally significant. The mind boggles. At en-WP we call this WP:ILIKEIT... Carrite (talk) 18:12, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
- Delete - per simple decency and common sense.Volunteer Marek (talk) 08:15, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- Could you give any further insight into that? Decency is not an issue because there are no real people, and common sense is remarkably uncommon. -mattbuck (Talk) 10:01, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- Is badgering part of the normal protocol here? Carrite (talk) 18:13, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
- Delete - conveys nothing beyond what would be conveyed in words, so no educational value. An image that could incite or normalise violence is something we should be very careful about holding, and only keep if it truly serves a real purpose. To quote a recent Arbcom ruling on en-wiki, Notcensored should be the start of a discussion, not the end of it. Jheald (talk) 10:22, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry, but no, that "educational value" riff is an argument against its inclusion at en.wp, not an argument for it being deleted here. We don't have a donkey punch article, we just host pictures, and given it was in use for years, it has educational value. Further, we don't care about what Arbcom say. -mattbuck (Talk) 10:38, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- Commons is not your image repository. If an image has no educational value, it has no place being here. As for en.Arbcom, no they don't set the rules here -- but we can still recognise when they have talked good sense. Jheald (talk) 11:01, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- This is an example of extremely poor reasoning from Mattbuck, and not the only one on this page. The article that used the image also said, for three years, that "When used, the donkey punch is almost exclusively executed during or just before the orgasm of the penetrating partner (see orgasm control).[3]" The sourcing for this was http://gawker.com/news/rape-is-comedy-gold/patrice-oneal-explains-donkey+punching-on-fox-news-260907.php – a talk show where they were discussing jokes. The fact that something ludicrous was in an article that clearly lacked any kind of quality control, and was cobbled together by editors unable or unwilling to produce quality work, does not mean that such content thereby becomes "educational". (By the way, what en:WP arbcom said was at least partly based on what the Wikimedia Foundation board said, addressing Commons in particular.) --JN466 12:51, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- No, you don't understand what I'm saying. I am saying that the arguments that "it could be conveyed in words" is not a reason for its removal on Commons. Why? Because we don't do words. We do pictures, sounds and video, we don't want text. This image illustrated the en.wp article for several years, therefore it has shown educational usage, regardless of whether it is in use now. We could show many of our images in words, but that doesn't mean we should delete the images. -mattbuck (Talk) 13:13, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- This image illustrated the en.wp article for several years is similar to This false argument/fact/statement has been placed within the en.wp article for several years so tough luck for you, now it is educational and you have to shut up.. --Yikrazuul (talk) 17:01, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- "years" is clearly false. The animated image was uploaded in October 2010, so it has been only a year and four months. There was an RFC about the single frame File:Donkey punch.jpg, and the little feedback given indicated that the community didnt feel that the article needed illustration. Flyingfeck than created an animation and added it to the article with the edit summary "image added as per talk page", which is not what the RFC suggested.

- Delete As long we are talking about a putative "maybe" situation (urban legend), this image is misleading and hence not of any educational scope - just as useful as showing how Caesar's voice rang. The keep-fraction only shows the false argument "not censored" which - as usual - passes fully the arguments of the deletion debate here. --Yikrazuul (talk) 12:35, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- Delete You know, I was going to put together an argument against this based on the educational value of adding an illustration to a hoax article, but that isn't my main reason to oppose. This is a DISGUSTING, GRATUITOUS PORTRAYAL OF FANTASY SEXUAL VIOLENCE THAT HAS NO PLACE IN AN ENCYCLOPEDIA. People need to stop pretending this is some sort of patriotic free speech BS and admit they just like the idea of putting shocking, violent porn on Wikipedia for the kiddies to see. --JaGa (talk) 17:13, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for being honest at least. Let me destroy your argument one statement at the time. 1) This is not a vote, it is about the strength of your arguments, if you aren't able to come up with a good argument perhaps that's because the image should be kept. 2) Illustration on the artile about a hoax is educational if it's stated that it's a hoax, and also don't confuse hoax article (that's an article that isn't really an article?) and an article about a hoax. 3) Commons is not an encyclopaedia. 4) Commons is not sencored, and we have disgusting and sexual things here; we also have things which are both sexual and disgusting. 5) Commons is an international project, nothing about it is "patriotic". 6) COM:NOTCENSORED is a policy not BS. 6) This file doesn't reside on Wikipedia, it resides on Commons, you are making this statement on Commons, there is a logo of Commons on this site in the plain sight, how hard it this to understand? 7) Mediawiki is a collection of projects for adults and elderly as well as "kiddies". 8) Even if children will see this image, i think that putting it in the context is a better thing than censoring it. That is called being rational and not reactional. VolodyA! V Anarhist Beta_M (converse) 17:30, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- 1) Who said anything about a vote? 2) What educational value is there of illustrating a sexual practice that doesn't exist? The illustration helps create the illusion that it is not a hoax, by saying, "hey, this is an urban myth, and here's how it works". Why not give me an animation of unaided human-powered Earth flight as well? "Here's a guy flapping his arms like wings, and here he is flying! This is a myth of course." That doesn't improve the educational value of an article; it confuses it. 3) True, far from it. 4) True, it isn't "sencored", but it isn't a porn warehouse either, is it? Or maybe it is? 5) Your interpretation of the policy is where the BS comes from 6) And I'll make sure it stays out of EN wiki 7) Duh 8) Yeah, giving people a "how to" illustration of violent, imaginary sexual acts is a great thing for society. It would be one thing if it was an actual thing. But it isn't, is it? That makes this all just so gratuitous and pointless. --JaGa (talk) 19:40, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- 1) You said that you couldn't be bothered to write an argument and simply put {{Vd}} in the beginning of that. 2) Category:Perpetual motion machines has tons of stuff that simply won't work. And if somebody creates an image of unpowered human flight i would argue that it should be kept. 4) It is not a porn warehouse, it's a warehouse of all educationally useful media whether you like that media or not. 5) The policy states that Commons is an international project, it is not "interpretation" and it is not BS. 6) If you are an admin on En.Wiki you should have those rights taken away for abusing your powers, if you are not then you have no power over what is there. 8) No, a good thing for the society is to place this image in context, your attempt to twist my words has failed.

Let me destroy your argument one statement at the time. 1) This is not a vote, it is about the strength of your arguments, if you aren't able to come up with a good argument perhaps that's because the image should be kept. 2) Illustration on the artile about a hoax is educational if it's stated that it's a hoax, and also don't confuse hoax article (that's an article that isn't really an article?) and an article about a hoax. 3) Commons is not an encyclopaedia. 4) Commons is not sencored, and we have disgusting and sexual things here; we also have things which are both sexual and disgusting. 5) Commons is an international project, nothing about it is "patriotic". 6) COM:NOTCENSORED is a policy not BS. 6) This file doesn't reside on Wikipedia, it resides on Commons, you are making this statement on Commons, there is a logo of Commons on this site in the plain sight, how hard it this to understand? 7) Mediawiki is a collection of projects for adults and elderly as well as "kiddies". 8) Even if children will see this image, i think that putting it in the context is a better thing than censoring it. That is called being rational and not reactional. VolodyA! V Anarhist Beta_M (converse) 17:30, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Such a file is not liable to deletion simply because it may be of poor quality: if it is in use, that is enough...It should be stressed that Commons does not exist to editorialise on other projects – that an image is in use on a non talk/user page is enough for it to be within scope. This file was in use on en-wp until very recently, and the removal is disputed. Further, it remains in use on en-quote. Because it is legitimately in use in a WMF project, it is automatically in scope. cmadler (talk) 23:15, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Comment If you'd like to see what it looks like in a porn movie, see these clips. For those who don't want to see it, suffice it to say that it does look completely different from this animation—because the kind of punch that is shown in this animation would kill the woman, or paralyse her for life. It's a joke drawing, and in very poor taste. Also worth reading: [4]. --JN466 21:26, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

The donkey punch image, although not child porn, highlights how easy it is for mediocre and controversial sexual images to be uploaded to Commons. Most serious publications would not want this image even if it was free, so there does need to be a look at quality control on Commons once again (BTW if User:Flyingfeck actually is the author of this image I would be extremely surprised).--Ianmacm (talk) 18:53, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

- If someone in es:WP says "Wikipedia editors were actually stupid enough", it´s considerated a personal attack. I don´t know how stuffs works here, but doesn't look very polite. I have no particular interest in the picture. I have no doubts if the image is deleted in Commons will be deleted in es:WP. There are lot of bots who use to do that. As user with 800 edits in Commons, and admin in es:WP I know the rules very well.
The real problem here is that an user deleted the picture from es:WP and that was used as excuse to delete "because is not longer in use". That's not true. The picture were there for 2 years without any problem. Deleted or not is not a matther from es:WP. But if someone delete the picture and immediately says "is not longer in use, we can delete it" that in es:WP is not other than "disruption". If there are good arguments, picture will be deleted. If not, will kept. But please, delete things to win a point is not admisible. Even if no one says -yet- the picture is not longer in use, is not admissible in the future. Is there is a problem in en:WP, there is no reason to bring it to es:WP. Solve the future of the image here, and accordingly we will know what to do with it.

- Delete Please delete. I am a woman from a working class background. I didn't weigh in on the article's talk page because frankly, I wouldn't know how to deal with the arguments put forward by the people desperate to keep the animated image in the article without tearing my hair out. Cptnono re-inserted the animated image into the article and put 'vent on the talk page' in his edit summary in reply to my deleting it. To me, the arguments put forward here in favor of keeping this gif are on a level with your esteemed user Russavia taunting Natka Brown on Jimbo's talk page with regards to [6] Natka trying to explain why she wouldn't accidentally like to come across a masturbation video on Commons when working with her granddaughter by her side. I'm all in favor of free speech where it's appropriate, but this is not the place. How about just doing the right thing? DracoEssentialis (talk) 01:13, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

- Delete Delete per Ianmacm. This has nothing at all to do with censorship or even to do with the fact that the image seems to have been created as a prank. Purely and simply, it is a worthless piece of crap that adds nothing of value to the article. If I ever wanted to know what this particular act of violence would look like if it were drawn by an imbecile, I have a pencil. --FormerIP (talk) 02:34, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
- Keep The nom's argument is essentially a perfect representation of arguments to avoid. Something being a hoax has no relevance to its article or an image of the subject of the article. It "not working" similarly has no relevance. And then the desire to inform people about the "repercussions" of something the nom calls a hoax is pointless. The articles on the subject in question clearly point out that it doesn't work anyways, so that issue is already dealt with. All the arguments that there is "no encyclopedic value" is opposed by the fact that the image is an illustration of a subject that is currently in use across Wikipedia.
- Therefore, any delete arguments above about "hoax", "doesn't work", "decency", and "no educational value" should be dismissed. Oh look, that gets rid of all of them, doesn't it? SilverserenC

And both JaGa and Carrite's arguments boil down to WP:IDON'TLIKEIT, also without any real argument for deletion. And I don't understand how original research applies to the existence of an image at all. That just seems bizarre. SilverserenC

[edit]After canvasing everywhere the vote stands at 13-13, and right now the proposals are moving towards "Let's close Commons down and have only local projects or better yet uninvent wiki all together". The truth of the matter is that nobody is going to close commons or even rewrite project scope just to delete this image... it's too insignificant. If you disagree, try asking people who aren't engaged in this discussion, i went and talked to people, the response is "yeah, it was a hoax, but now it's an image showing a hoax". So shouldn't we just close this discussion and move on to contribute to commons to make it a better place, i have been trying to keep myself away from this discussion and i've uploaded tons of interviews with novelists and journalists that i have found.

Kept: On Commons, we concern ourselves with two main issues. Firstly, and most importantly, only freely-licenced materials can be hosted here. Secondly, and once the freely-licenced aspect is met, materials must be within our scope; in particular the provision of educational media.
Reviewing the history of the file, prior to this DR, I see that the file has seen use on both English Wikipedia (en:Donkey punch) since 21 October 2010[7], and Spanish Wikipedia (es:Donkey punch) since 16 February 2011[8]. Whether other WMF projects use this image is not decided at Commons, but on local projects. Commons should not be used as a tool to skirt local project discussions on usability of media on those projects.
Having said that, there are potential copyright issues with this file, which will not be resolved by way of this DR. There is another DR underway at present, which will determine whether the underlying work on this particular file is kept or deleted. If deleted, this image as a derivative of that work, will also be deleted. If kept, as I noted to an editor here, there are alleged Encyclopedia Dramatica IRC logs which indicate that the uploader is not the "copyright" owner of this image. (Quote: [2010-10-21 05:43:18] <ptime> I'll list it as my own work). As the uploader is not an established member of the community, the image has been marked with {{No permission}}, which is going to require OTRS processing. As mentioned to the editor, if any permission is received, it is going to be a stringent OTRS verification, given the source. russavia (talk) 19:35, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Nonsensical and contradictory licensing and PD claims and no verifiable source. The photo does not appear on the stated source page. Author is listed as "none", but clearly someone created the photo. This is obviously not a screenshot of GPL software. There is no evidence to support the claim that the author died more than 70 years ago and that the photo is therefore not protected by copyright.

Scanned from a 1982 book. Pieter Kuiper (talk) 16:30, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
"A mere mechanical reproduction of some other image, such as an unmodified photocopy or scan of a drawing, cannot attract additional copyright protection over and above that of the original, as it lacks originality: it is a bare copy, no more. That rule applies internationally and, on Commons, is normally taken for granted".
See: Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag
And the image here is PD (Ericsson telephon dated 1900)
So there is no copyright problem here.
Витольд Муратов (обс, вклад) 09:54, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
Deleted: The problem here is that we know the date of the book, and the date of the telephone, but we do not know the date of the image. If it was taken when the phone was new, then it may or may not be PD, depending on when the photographer died . If it was taken of a museum piece at the time of the book, then it is definitely not PD. Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 22:28, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

File:Matspi.jpg was uploaded by Addik_200, whose native language appears to be Romanian rather English (ro:Special:Contributions/Addik_200). The user is now inactive. Addik uploaded File:Matspi.jpg with Template:PD-self and "restriced" (I assuming this is a typo of "restricted") in the "Permission" field of Template:Information. The image's description, "Poză cu vara mea!" can either mean, "Photograph of my summer!" or "Photograph of my cousin!" As a result, it's possible that Addik_200 isn't the person in the photo. Is this photo restricted or in the public domain? Can it be both? I don't believe so. It should be noted that all of Addik_200's uploads to the Romanian Wikipedia have been deleted due a lack of sources / licenses:

The licence requires attributing the author. A version of the image without the words "Morze Bałtyckie" appears on English Wikipedia as en:File:Warmia.PNG but a different author is credited there. In order to keep this, we need to make sure that the correct author is credited. It may help if a plwiki admin could check the file information page for the deleted pl:File:Plemiona pruskie.png in case it contains something useful.

First, maintaining such a category tree is quite impossible, most black people are not black but brown, most white people not white but pink, etc. Second, only black people are categorized. Third, what is the use of such a category? We already have categories for ethnicity, etc. See also Commons:Deletion requests/Category:Women with black skin -Danmichaelo (talk) 23:37, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
- Comment. While i think that it should be deleted i feel that the community right now is moving towards categorisation for the sake of it. Look at the idea of the proposed filter for the offencive images. If a racist person wants to block oneself from seeing any people from black skin i suppose that category can be useful (i know it's idiotic, but so is the content filter on Commons). VolodyA! V Anarhist Beta_M (converse) 05:09, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- No, come on, that's too idiotic ;) Even the racist cannot «filter out» people with black skin on the streets, and so *he should not be able to do so here. A "racist content filter"? No, no, that won't happen. (And if it does, I quit Wikipedia). And then there's the problem of continuity in skin colours. Should we have a cutoff value, so people are considered «black» if their skin tone is brightness is less than, say 75 %? Will sunburned people be classified as red? And so on. It's not maintainable even if it fulfilled a purpose (which it doesn't). Danmichaelo (talk) 10:12, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Unfortunately the content filter is becoming a reality slowly. I agree with you though, people who don't want to see something should close themselves in their homes, turn off television, internet and everything else, and slowly starve to death. VolodyA! V Anarhist Beta_M (converse) 10:41, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Agree, but still, there is a slight difference between not wanting to see nudity (yeah, I know about the difficulties in defining what's considered nudity and not, but say complete nudity then) and not wanting to see black skin :) It's possible to live well in most places of the world without actually seeing nude people if you want, thanks to the invention of clothing, but you have to live in a quite isolated community in order not to see black skin! Also, nude people are most likely not offended by people who don't want to see nude people, but black people are most likely offended by people who don't want to see black people. And so on… Danmichaelo (talk) 14:31, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Actually there are quite a few ethnically isolated communities; and the difference between discrimination against people due to their black skin colour and against nudists of course exists, and it is of course quite big (i am not a fool and i understand that), but i believe that my anology wasn't about the type of discrimination, but about the fact that it exists in principle and that MW caves in to it lately. VolodyA! V Anarhist Beta_M (converse) 14:58, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, sorry, didn't mean to offend you, I think I get your point, but not why it should be weighted. Even if MW caves in for some kind of content filter, I find it quite hypothetical that it would make this category useful (is it really so that racists don't like to see black people? Lots of racists are fine having black people working for them, just not the other way around), and honestly I don't see why we should prepare a gift that might perhaps be useful for some racists some time in the future.

- Huh? Kensico Cemetery was founded in 1889, has (allegedly) been the largest cemetery (by area) in New York state since 1915, and is famous for its graves of entertainers: see Kensico's own history page. I'm assuming that the cemetery monuments do not have copyright messages and are not registered with the U.S. Copyright Office, and that pre-1978 art is therefore public domain. Here we go again:
- Keep File:1 Billie Burke best 800.jpg: Pre-1978 grave of Florenz Ziegfeld (1867–1932) and Billie Burke (1884–1970). Visibly old bronze statue, "dedicated to Blanche Beatty Burke by her daughter Billie".
- Keep File:Alfred Holland Smith Gravesite 2011.jpg: Pre-1978 and also arguably architecture (therefore freedom of panorama), as it appears to be a crypt. Grave of Alfred Holland Smith (1863–1924) and Maude Emery Smith LeBaron (1868–1949).
- Delete File:Anne Bancroft Brooks.jpg and File:Anne Bancroft Brooks Grave 300.jpg: No evidence monument was placed before death, so angel is presumably 2005 or later, so no copyright notice needed to attract copyright.
- Keep File:Ayer Statue 2011.JPG: Style, aging, and historical marker all imply a monument well before 1978.
- Delete File:Beau Brummel Statue 2011C.jpg: Presumably 1994 or later. Filename is wrong: This is Peter Andriy Zhurawetzky (1901–1994), who was some kind of Orthodox archbishop with suspicious consecrations under him.
- Delete File:Danny Kaye best 800.jpg: Presumably 1987 or later, as engraved in the artwork. This is the grave of Danny Kaye (1913–1987). Commons:Public art and copyrights in the US#1978 to March 1, 1989 implies that anything from March 1984 is copyrighted because the March 1989 no-formalities law kicked in before the 5-year registration lapse was up on the work. (Also, mere public display from 1978 on isn't "publication" in the U.S., so, unless the artist/copyright holder authorized photos or other derivatives of this work to actually be distributed to the public, it remains an as-yet-unpublished work.)
- Keep File:Druid Cross Memorial of Judge John Fitch 2011.JPG: "The memorial was unveiled on November 12, 1890, amid great ceremony."
- Weak Keep File:Fantastic Cross Monument 2011.JPG: I'm going to take a guess on this one. This is the Raymond family plot. In the lower left corner you see what I presume to be the first James Irving Raymond (1843–1905) and his wife Grace Clark Quincy Adams (1850–1919). To the right you see the other James Irving Raymond (1907–1988), an architect and the grandson of James and Grace. Considering the position of the monument in front of James and Grace, I am going to guess that it's from the early 20th century, not 1988. (Side note: Some sources give the younger Raymond's birth year as 1906, not 1907.)
- Keep File:Henri Bendel Memorial 2010.JPG: Pre-1978 grave of Henri Willis Bendel (1868–1936).
- Keep File:Kane Lodge Sphere 2011.JPG: Presumably pre-1978. Art Deco 1920s–1940 style work and lettering. Also, only 6 out of 43 at this link died in 1978 or later, so this has probably been around quite a while.
- Weak Keep File:Kensico Elk Statue November 2011.JPG: Presumably pre-1978; marks the area of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks New York Lodge Number One. I can't seem to find any hint on when the elk was placed, though, but it's probably been a while since an Elks lodge has cared enough to obtain its own section in a cemetery.
- Delete File:Kensico Statue 2011.JPG: No hint of dating.
- I wonder if closing administrators are going to pull their hair out from dealing with split-decision discussions that come from nominating images with dissimilar copyright years. ;-) --Closeapple (talk) 10:59, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
- Argh, sorry, I misread 1889 as 1989, thinking that any public artwork at that cemetery would be post-1978. Yes, your reasoning looks correct. --Stefan4 (talk) 12:42, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
- Comment I have deleted those so marked and kept the one (struck out above) that is pre 1923. The balance require more research -- if they are post 1963 and have notice, then they still have copyrights. I should add, for completeness, that if they are post 1923 and their copyrights were renewed, they also have copyrights, but that seems so unlikely that I would keep any in that class unless someone found a renewal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs) Mar 24, 2012 10:18:56 UTC (UTC)
