Questionable notability of the subject but I'm not going there as it's currently in use on the Romanian Wikipedia. Well, this image seems to be a cropped version of one available on timpul.md.

Explicit advertizing - This user has uploaded over 55,000s pictures that all have advertizing for his website as a watermark. Please remove all of those uploaded pictures. Whaledad (talk) 15:45, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I might mention that a LOT of images get uploaded here that contain a watermark explicitly advertising a web site. The difference being maybe just in the sheer volume of images from a single uploader. To the uploader of these images... watermarks, for all practical purposes, are not allowed on Commons. Though whether by design or by neglect, Commons is rather weak and unclear in telling you this. Your "offense" is as much our fault as yours, in my opinion. Also, many many hours of editor time is going to be wasted removing all those watermarks. There are better ways to attribute yourself other than plastering a watermark all over uploaded images. And arguably, those images are less likely to be used anywhere simply because they do contain such a watermark. – JBarta (talk) 16:28, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Communication with the uploader has already happened and he has flat-out refused to upload without watermark. His stateed intent is to advertize his website and he says he has already seen an increase in visitorship due to this campaign. It should be noted that none of these images are used in articles on nl.wikipeida, but they do appear in {commonscat} links at the bottom of many (city) pages. This may ultimately force us to remove these sisterwiki templates from those pages. Whaledad (talk) 17:03, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If anyone wishes to get a watermark removed from an image, they can make a request at the Graphics Lab here or here. For prompt action, just request watermark removal from images that are in use... don't request removal from all or large numbers. Anyone is welcome to go through his contributions and see where he may have added images. Also, it's not inconceivable that the uploader is fibbing about visits to his website increasing, or possibly the weekly visits have gone from 5 to 8 simply because a few editors here are curious about the guy who uploaded all those watermarked images to Commons. – JBarta (talk) 17:22, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
For the sake of reference and organization, I added all his uploads to Category:Uploads by Microtoerisme with watermarks which is a subcategory of Category:Images with watermarks. – JBarta (talk)
@Whaledad: You mention "55,000" pictures. I count 1,452. Where are you getting this number? – JBarta (talk) 18:10, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I guess 55k images with spam-watermarks, of which 1452 from this guy.. But in fact, all 55k should be un-watermarked or removed. The Banner (talk) 22:23, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
@Jbarta, sorry got my numbers mixed up. near 1500 for this guy. As for the 55,000 total watermarked images: some of them may be "legitimate" watermarks, as in: the original picture, drawing, or whatever had a watermark. What is happening with MicroT, is that he has found a way to spam Wikimedia that isn't covered in clear rules and regulations. The fact that most of his pictures aren't used in any articles is of no interest. The appear abundantly when clicking the Commonscat sisterlink (that's also why he tries to Overcat!). The guy is 100% spammer and should be treated as such. If he gets away with this, many others will follow shortly. Whaledad (talk) 23:53, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

this is not the syrian flag 162.121.244.36 06:36, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep -- It was the Syrian flag from 1946-1958 and from 1961-1963, shown in the corresponding borders. The date "1932" in the image title is unfortunately flakey (the file should probably be renamed to change 1932 to 1946), but there's nothing wrong with this file as a basic historical flag map...

No scope, this is retaliation against [3] and [4], which GhiathArodaki perceives as insulting to Syria. Fry1989 eh? 20:02, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh Yeah, Great job , Every thing for israel , You know i know it that your going to make thisGhiathArodaki (talk) 20:09, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You yourself admitted on my talk page you just uploaded this as retaliation because you feel insulted by File:Flag-map of Syria (1932-1958, 1961-1963).svg, even though that file is historically correct. That was infact the official flag of Syria during those dates. This has nothing to do with Israel, but if you must know, I despise Israel, it is a war crimes state that sponsors terrorism around the world and has ghettoized and terrorized the Palestinian people for 50 years. I am NOT a supporter of Israel and never will be. That doesn't change the fact your stupid useless retaliatory file has no scope, no purpose of any kind other then to retaliate against a historically correct file that you're butt-hurt over. Fry1989 eh? 20:13, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Talk good to me, That is first , Second , I'm Not Retaliation or something , This is not a historical thing , when the syria flag is combined with a dirty flag like this , and it's not a historical thing when a dirty flag is put in the map of Syria , And it's not historical if a dirty israeli flag is on araibian flag , The files are not a historical correct , that what is Minus for us, a non from our country people like you controlling our history and writing it as they likeGhiathArodaki (talk) 20:32, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]


It's briefly amusing for a few seconds, but ultimately it's a rather crude insult image based on an Iranian government propaganda line conspiracy theory which probably not even the Iranian government propaganda-pushers themselves really believe... GhiathArodaki -- I don't have a very high opinion of the Assads, but when I uploaded File:Flag_of_Syria_(2011_combined).svg and File:Flag-map_of_Syria_(1932-1958,_1961-1963).svg, it was really not with the intention of insulting anybody.

First, is your problem. Second, is no issue.

Israel IS a war crimes state, they attack first all the time, engage in collective punishment, use weapons in civilian areas that are considered a war crime to use by the United Nations, and are illegally settling in lands that don't belong to them. As for this file, it was purely in retaliation for the two DRs I listed when I originally nominated this. It doesn't belong here. Fry1989 eh? 19:20, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
WHAT HISTORICAL CONTEXT? It's already been made very very clear the only reason this was uploaded is because the user was insulted by File:Flag of Syria (2011 combined).svg and File:Flag-map of Syria (1932-1958, 1961-1963).svg, and when he was told that perceived insults arfe not a reason to delete a file, he uploaded this in retaliation. There is zero historical context, and zero scope for this file. Fry1989 eh? 21:03, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have seen such flags elsewhere. He didn't make it up. It is historically significant as war-time propaganda. FunkMonk (talk) 21:10, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say he made it up, I said he only uploaded it as retaliation because he was insulted, for no real reason whatsoever, by two files that have been on Commons for ages. Commons is not the place for retaliation and half-truths and conspiracy theories. Fry1989 eh? 23:09, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The reason for the upload is irrelevant to whether it should stay or not. FunkMonk (talk) 06:55, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Where have you seen this flag used elsewhere? If you could point to something resembling a reliable source for such a use, that would certainly be worthy of consideration.

Please correctly license this file. The operation of recording a voice is a technical operation, and doesn't create copyright. So, Tdxiang isn't the copyright holder. What the Vatican copyright law says about official talk recordings? I guess, such a formal speak doesn't meet the originality threshold, as it's the spoken version of a public domain text. But what about droits voisins? Dereckson (talk) 11:29, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • If the law is anything like in the USA then it is the person who put the work in tangible form (i.e. the one who recorded the voice) who is the copyright holder, not the one who was "making the voice". Of course, if we were to assume that the "voice" was previously recorded on paper, than the content of it has copyright, which is violated by recording and re-transmitting.

This was published in 1930 so it is not automatically in the public domain in the United States, which is required for uploads at Commons. Furthermore the author of the book is most likely not the graphical artist of the cover image. The image may still be copyrighted. De728631 (talk) 16:25, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Another source lists it as 1900, how do we know that the uploader has the date of publication right? El Jardín de los Suplicios (1900)
    • The novel may origignally have been published in 1900 but the cover design is obviously from a later edition. I'm not an expert in history of the arts but I've seen a lot of books from both areas and this doesn't look like a 1900s illustration. Anyhow, it's the uploader's responsibility to get their facts right, so Octawiusz should provide proper evidence that this is a free image. De728631 (talk) 15:16, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am the uploader of this photo. I am changing speedy delete to regular delete, as per instructions, but basically I think this photo should stay in the Commons unless I learn otherwise. This was a check mailed to me, not fished off the web. I photographed it. As far as I know, there is no copyright violation involved -- a check image is not an example of something that is subject to copyright rules as far as I can understand it. It is a fraudulent check, not a real one, based on information from Citibank. It was sent by a scammer but it is unlikely that the name on the signature is the scammer -- just some name used by the scammer. The photo is useful for demonstrating about Internet scams used in places like Craigslist.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 16:05, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Another possibility: I could upload a second image, but with the name in the signature box wiped out -- would this be an agreeable compromise? or are there other issues and what are they?--Tomwsulcer (talk) 16:23, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Keep I'm not seeing where the alleged copyright violation is. I don't believe business forms of this prosaic nature can be copyrighted. There no Citobank logo, just their lettering, and we know that that is not copyrightable. I don't see where there is a copyright issue at all. There might have been a privacy issue if the check had been legitimate, but as the result of fraudulent activity, I don't believe privacy is a concern. I would like the nominator, User:McGeddon, to be specific about what the perceived problem with this image is. Beyond My Ken (talk) 17:29, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your support BMK.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 20:07, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the somewhat generic template. I assumed that a photograph of a designed bank cheque (or a close forgery, or even a wildly original forgery!) would be considered a representation of a 2D artwork rather than the uploader's "own work", and this seemed backed up by the paucity of other images of bank cheques on Commons. (The Wikipedia article on cheques can only manage a fake "Bank of Wiki" mockup as a clear illustration of a modern cheque.) As the cheque itself says, it's not simply text, there's at least a designed red-blue backing pattern, which I'd assume was enough to bump it over the threshold of originality.
The other, unrelated, concern is that we don't know where the scammer lifted the signature or the bank numbers from - they could be made up, but they could be somebody's actual account details, which it would seem irresponsible to republish. --McGeddon (talk) 19:32, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting; I had never thought about such stuff before. How about if I removed the numbers and the signature and uploaded that -- would that be sufficient to allay concerns? Wondering.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 20:07, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Also I tried to upload the photo with numbers and signature erased, but somehow I can not find it -- probably some snafu with the uploading software.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 20:41, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And the red-blue backing pattern is some kind of security code, invisible to the photo, but which someone can check perhaps by holding the check up to a light source.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 20:43, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I photograph buildings, which are copyrightable but can be photographed under US law. When I do, the photograph is my "own work", regardless of the status of the building (most old one are in the public domain). If the fake check Tom shot was not copyrightable -- and I don't think it was, for the reasons I gave above -- than the photograph of it is indeed his "own work", as much as if he shot a picture of a fire hydrant or an ant. Therefore his license was correct.

As for the underlying issue, the design aspects of the check do not, in my opinion, rise to the level of copyrightable artwork. There may be a trademark issue with the "Citibank" writing, but not a copyright one, since it is just lettering, and not distinctive enough in design to be copyrighted.

Tom, one thing you should consider is that as you remove more and more elements of the check - signature, routing number, etc. - it probably starts to get to the point where it's debatable whether having it in the repository serves any educational or encyclopedic purpose. I'd say that's a judgment call for you to make, at first, although others will no doubt weigh in later. At this point, though, unless someone can make a stronger counter-argument, I don't think there are any copyright concerns about the image. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:02, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Keep Yes BMK you persuaded me; I had been on the fence but I think you're right although when it comes to issues such as copyrights and trademarks, my sense it is complex and I will probably never know all the ins and outs. About the issue of how much information to scrub off the check -- yes, it is possible I am deleting too much, but I think the image is still usable. I had been hoping to use the photo for the Wikipedia article "Confidence trick" but there may be other places where a check image could be used, particularly if there are not many such images in the Commons to begin with.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 11:30, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that the license on the source website - http://www.globalwarmingart.com/wiki/File:Antarctica_Without_Ice_Sheet_png - is sufficient for us.

  • All you did is copy and paste the text from their site here. You can ignore the first and third sections as neither of those apply. The only thing that matters is whether their GFDL/CC-BY-SA grant is legally sufficient. My contention is that it is not. Saying, "you can include this image in your GFDL publication" is not the same as saying "I publish this image in accordance with the GFDL". Wikipedia is GFDL (or CC-BY-SA or whatever it is this week). When people send us images and say "you can use this image on Wikipedia", we delete those images as not having a free enough permission. I don't see the difference between that and this. --UserB (talk) 15:10, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Keep I am not a linguist, but to me "you can publish this work in a GFDL work" and "you can republish this work under GFDL" is the same thing. There is a difference between an incompatible or a restrictive licence and saying the same thing in different words. Sinnamon (talk) 05:37, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • True or false: images that are uploaded saying "you can use this image on Wikipedia" are deleted? I suspect you will agree, true. True or false: images uploaded saying "you can use this image on Wikipedia or Commons" are deleted? I suspect you will again agree, true. True or false: images uploaded saying "you can use this image on Wikipedia, Commons, Wikia, RationalWiki, or CreationWiki" are deleted? Again, I assume you will agree, true. The license they have given is no different than these restrictive licenses - they just have a much longer list of acceptable publications. But allowing you to include it in a GFDL publication is NOT the same as publishing the image under the terms of the GFDL. Quite the contrary, we have plenty of images on Wikipedia and Commons that are not published under the GFDL nor anything resembling the GFDL, even though the text-based contributions are GFDL. --UserB (talk) 15:52, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • I think that is a false analogy, let me demonstrate why (I shall use the same argument structure as you have used). What would you say to the licence that says "You cannot place 'non-commercial' restriction on the work, that this one is a part of"? I would bet you would accept such a licence. What about a licence that says "You must publish any collective work under a free licence"? You would probably again accept such a licence. Now what about the licence that says "The licence of the composite work must be compatible with GFDL"? Again, you would have hard time arguing that such a file should be deleted. This licence says "The aggregate work must be GFDL and only GFDL". If you want to delete this work because of that, you are undermining the whole idea of a viral licence. The creator does have a right to demand that the collective work is distributed under whatever licence, and if such a licence happens to be free (and GFDL definitely is) such a file is permitted per COM:L.
      • I will, however, recognise that there is a possibility to read the statement to mean that until the work is published in any collective work, it is not yet under a free licence. But in this context this is an unenforceable restriction, since any category page or a page showing new uploads will automatically become an aggregate work, and thus placing this particular file in GFDL as a part of it. Thus, even if you read the statement as "it is not yet GFDL", it has become GFDL microseconds after being uploaded here. Sinnamon (talk) 16:16, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        • You're arguing that permission to publish in a GFDL collection automatically makes it GFDL upon such publication. But the fact that we have non-GFDL images in our GFDL collection necessarily means that it is possible to publish something in a GFDL collection under some license other than the GFDL. Several users have published their own work here under, for example, a {{BSD}} license. That act didn't suddenly endow their image with a GFDL permission. --UserB (talk) 16:28, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
          • I think that you are confusing linking to the image, and a collective work. And I must apologise, perhaps my example has actually made such an error more likely, it [the example] was a bad one. Personally, I believe that putting BSD or Art Libre image in a Wikipedia article is a form of a copyright violation, but MW lawyers think that it isn't, so it should be allowed. So one would need to make a collage using this file, and then extract it from there... It would appear GFDL after that. However, I think it's an overkill, because I doubt that anybody would seriously read this restriction in such a manner. Sinnamon (talk) 16:48, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
            • I didn't realize it, but the owner of this site and author of that image is en:User:Dragons flight. (Not outing anyone - he self-identifies on his user page.) I am posting a message at his en talk page about this ... it could be settled very easily if he would be willing to simply affirm the GFDL license. --UserB (talk) 17:56, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Long explanation. Both the GNU and Creative Commons have offered interpretations of how the "viral" provisions of their licenses function (GFDL and CC-BY-SA, in particular) that are actually stronger than most people realize. Each license has provisions for combining licensed works with other "separate and independent" documents in an "aggregation" (to use the GFDL language). If the materials are really "separate and independent", then it doesn't matter that some are GFDL, some are CC-BY, and some are copyright restricted. For example, independent articles in a scientific journal could easily be regarded as separate and independent works. Each article stands alone, and in general articles in the same issue do not reference or build off of each other. However, in the GNU view, using GFDL images to illustrate a related piece of text does not constitute an aggregation. Rather they consider such a use to be a derivative use and to trigger the copyleft clauses of the GFDL. To give an example of this logic, suppose I have an article discussing the beauty of Angkor Wat along with accompanying photographs. In that case the text aids in understanding the images and the images aid in understanding the text. The whole is more than the sum of its parts, and consequently those parts can not qualify as "separate and independent". In the GNU opinion, this implies that combined work is not an "aggregation" but rather a derivative, subject to copyleft provisions on the totality of the work. If you illustrate text with a GFDL image, then under the restrictive GNU interpretation you would be required to release the whole combined work (text + images) under the GFDL (or reach some other agreement with the copyright holders). In their reading, the same ought to apply if you take GFDL text and add other images, you then have an obligation to ensure the images can also be released under the GFDL. The language is different, but Creative Commons has made effectively similar statements about the viral properties of their Share-Alike license. In their view it is a "strong" copyleft that is intended to grab hold of the associated text if CC-BY-SA images are used to illustrate a document. (This is in contrast to a "weak" copyleft, where the copyleft provisions only apply to works that works that are immediately derivative and not to larger works that copyleft material might simply be used to illustrate or otherwise incorporated in. Incidentally, at several points in their history, Creative Commons has explicitly discussed releasing both "strong" and "weak" versions of CC-BY-SA, but ultimately the "strong" language is the only one they have published.)
  • Now, a bit of context is needed. Both GNU and Creative Commons have considered their copyleft licenses to be aggressively viral; however, the Wikimedia Foundation has never acted on that interpretation. In general, the WMF has always taken the position that mixing text and images with different licenses is fine. Hence, the WMF implicitly regards the copyleft provisions as being of the "weak" variety. Personally, I tend to think that a plain reading of the text of the licenses favors the "strong" copyleft interpretation, but there is enough ambiguity in the wording and more than enough complexities to copyright law that it can be regarded as an unsettled issue. To the best of my knowledge, no court has ever had to address whether the copyleft provisions of these licenses are truly "weak" or "strong", and hence no one really knows whether it is okay to mix GFDL images with non-GFDL text and vice versa. That said, I do know of cases where publishers have used GFDL or CC-BY-SA images to illustrate their works, and later been sent demands that the entire work be released under the viral license. In at least some cases, the publishers have either capitulated to those licensing requests or paid off the copyright holders to settle.
  • So, the bottom line is this. The copyleft license authors basically intended their licenses to be strongly viral. In particular, in their view, GFDL images are only licensed to appear in GFDL documents, etc. The WMF has willfully ignored that interpretation, preferring to believe that the "aggregation" provisions are strong enough to cover mixing and matching images with text, even though that's not what the license authors had in mind. Given that there is no current court guidance on this issue, I tend to personally advise people that GFDL images should only be used within GFDL works and CC-BY-SA images should only be used in CC-BY-SA works. That's the only way one can really be sure that people won't get in trouble with these mixing and matching issues in the future. Encouraging people to mix and match, as the WMF does, could actually get reusers into legal predicaments down the line.
  • So, yes, I consider this image (and the various other images on my site) to be licensed under the GFDL and under CC-BY-SA (and also separately licensed for non-commercial use). However, when it comes to writing my own website, I am going to advise people that sticking GFDL and CC-BY-SA images in works is potentially a bad idea unless the entire work can be covered by these copyleft licenses. If one wants to be safe, CC-BY-SA images should only be used in CC-BY-SA works and similarly for GFDL images. Dragons flight (talk) 23:43, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The design of Canadian coins are the copyright of the Royal Canadian Mint, so images taken of coins from 1961 and after (Crown copyright is 50 years) cannot be hosted on Commons.

The nominator doesn't even bother to read the description pages. Read the description: design used in 1937. Count: 1937+50=1987. 1987<2021. This DR is sloppy, like other recent DRs. Other users put effort, time and care into uploading files, researching the information and describing the files. The least the nominator could do is read the descriptions. The indiscriminate nomination of everything without research is harmful.

The nomination reason is wrong. The designs are ok. But most of the images uploaded by this user look suspiciously like copies of images from official websites or from numismatics websites. For example, the 5 cents is there, the one dollar is there, etc. Probably not the own work of the uploader.

Re-nominatiing. The keep reason is not really relevant. If the uploader has a source for a different colour, he can provide it and it will be applied to the SVG. If the uploader doesn't have a source, this is a personal augmentation and out of scope. The section in question is the coat of arms of Slavonia, which is emblazoned "a marten proper courant". Proper means as it appears, and the animal is brown. Also the Croatian Government's main site shows the animal brown as on the SVG. We don't need to keep an un-used, un-sourced JPG.

copyvios - source website states that these images are from a 2009 book - no explicit license is given regarding commercial use or derivatives, etc - also not sure why the "Equality Trust" would have the rights to images from a book published by Penguin

INeverCry 00:10, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Strong oppose Nomination reason is not correct: "Reason for the nomination: copyvios - source website states that these images are from a 2009 book - no explicit license is given regarding commercial use or derivatives, etc" because "The slides (and the graphs contained within them) can be downloaded and used freely without permission, on condition you acknowledge their source: The Spirit Level, Wilkinson & Pickett, Penguin 2009." [5]
    • The editor's (Wilkinson and Pickett) are also co-founders and members of the Equality Trust [6]
    • Used freely as in: used freely to stamp a CC License to their images, a CC lisence that says Attribution required". Only thing they want is that they get acknowledged (that is: get attributed). The essay Commons:Credit line fits 100% to my opinion.

 Delete It is true that the source says:

"The slides (and the graphs contained within them) can be downloaded and used freely without permission, on condition you acknowledge their source: The Spirit Level, Wilkinson & Pickett, Penguin 2009."

However that quote is out of context, as the previous sentence says:

"We hope you will use them in talks, lectures or discussion groups to help increase people's understanding of the effects of inequality."

This is a license for a particular use, not the general license we require. It also says nothing about commercial use or derivative works. The source site has an explicit copyright notice and I am sure the book from which they are taken does also. The Equality Trust appear to be sophisticated people and Penguin Books certainly understands copyright. If they had intended to give a general license such as CC-BY, they would have done so. We must assume that the restrictions are deliberate..     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:23, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Strong oppose "This is a license for a particular use...", no it's not they are just hoping there. "... such as CC-BY, they would have done so ..." CC-BY adds the requirement that "when lying, mention it" --Pasixxxx (talk) 19:40, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete: I don't think "we hope that" or "we strongly recommend that" constitute restrictions, however:

The slides (and the graphs contained within them) can be downloaded and used freely without permission

How may the images be "used"? Can you sell them? Modify them? It's not enough. {{Attribution}} does not match the statement on the website, which lacks either details of any restrictions, or an explicit declaration of PD status --moogsi (blah) 17:13, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Strong oppose "Used freely without permission, on condition you acknowledge their source". This implies free to modify them if they are acknowledged, well this could also mean that the modifier can lie by modifying the information (regression data) in the slides. Wikipedia article on cc-by says that "Mention if the work is a derivative work or adaptation", so the CC-BY license adds the requirement that "lying needs to be mentioned". The change to {{Attribution}} was a bad idea so let's keep the {{Cc-by-3.0}}, it adds "lying needs to be mentioned" to the "Used freely without permission, on condition you acknowledge their source". And keep the images, don't delete them --Pasixxxx (talk) 19:40, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]


I also note that the deleted item above, File:Capture 14032013 205232.jpg, contains three Time magazine covers and five other images. While I am reasonably certain that Penguin got a license from Time, Inc. for the use of the covers in the book, it is highly unlikely that Penguin's license from Time includes broader use. This raises the question of whether any of the other material is actually subject to third party copyrights that The Equality Trust has not bothered to consider. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:35, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: The release says "The slides (and the graphs contained within them) can be downloaded and used freely without permission". Now, admittedly that does not specifically mention commercial use or derivatives, but it does say "used freely" and we should read that using the normal dictionary meaning of those words. Being allowed to use something "freely" means I think that no restrictions have been imposed (apart from attribution). This is in my judgement a general free licence, and the words "We hope you will use them in talks, lectures or discussion groups to help increase people's understanding of the effects of inequality" do not amount to an enforceable restriction on the generality of that licence.

The copyright owner is not in this case the sort of person we often come across - a naive individual who has used the word "freely" without the least understanding of what it means in the copyright context. This is a sophisticated outfit who have published under a well-known imprint.

The files are currently tagged {{Cc-by-3.0}}, which is definitely wrong, as no such licence has been used by the copyright owner. The tag {{Attribution}} does appear to be correct, and the reference within that to commercial uses and derivatives simply makes clear what the general licence has included by implication. If anyone wants to put this absolutely and finally beyond doubt, I suggest making an approach to the copyright owners to ask.

The image File:Capture 14032013 205232.jpg, which contains reproductions of Time magazine covers, has already been deleted.

Files uploaded by Microtoerisme (talk · contribs)

[edit]

User Microtoerisme has uploaded 1,452 files since Nov 2012, nearly all containing a prominent watermark promoting his website. It should also be noted that the uploader's stated primary intention[7](in dutch) is to use Wikimedia Commons to advertise his web site.

See Category:Uploads by Microtoerisme with watermarks

Recently a few of these files have been individually nominated for deletion with the reason generally being "advertising". I thought it useful to point those deletion requests (and future ones) to this central location for discussion and resolution. – JBarta (talk) 22:58, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • I am hesitant to support the deletion of all these files because they are freely licensed and may fall into COM:SCOPE. I do agree that this user's practice is spammy and should be discouraged, but I do wonder if it might be worth it to run some sort of a bot to crop out the watermark and keep the images? Mono 01:09, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If a bot can crop out the watermarks on the images, that would be a quick and minimally damaging solution. Then in the future, on an individual basis, editors will still have the option to re-remove the watermark without cropping if they wish, as the watermarked originals will remain available in the history. – JBarta (talk) 01:22, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Also, if I might add, the word "discouraged" is precisely part of the problem. Uploaders think watermarks are "discouraged" because that's what we tell them. Maybe we should find a perfectly clear way to tell uploaders such as this one DON'T DO IT. Then again, a similar problem (misuse of "own work") was met with the reponse (I'm paraphrasing) Uploaders won't listen anyway and we want to be popular like Facebook and make things easy to upload and bad uploads are just maintenance and if other editors don't want to do maintenance then maybe they're just lazy. Everyone has their perspective I guess. – JBarta (talk) 01:37, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Btw, most (if not all) of the images this user uploaded have spam messages in Dutch, like these: "Deze afbeelding wordt u aangeboden door de Stichting Microtoerisme Inzicht - www.microtoerisme.nl" ("This image is offered to you by the Microtourism Insight Foundation - www.microtoerisme.nl"), or "Op www.microtoerisme.nl kunt u gratis stadswandelingen, audiotours en fietsroutes downloaden. Ook kunt u honderden video's en 10.000+ foto's bekijken. En dagelijks een fotoblog." ("On www.microtoerisme.nl you can download free city walks, audio tours en cycling routes. You can also watch hundreds of videos and 10.000+ photos. And every day a photo blog.". Regardless the outcome of the watermarks discussion, this clearly spammy messages should imo be removed from all his uploads, which shouldn't be too hard for a bot. Wutsje 01:49, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep I have requested that this user be unblocked as the one week block does not appear in accordance to the Blocking policy. Uploading watermarked images is not spamming. If these are ear-marked in a suitable category, a batch action can remove the watermarks. The moral rights that this uploader is concerned about are protected by attribution in the CC licence. This should be patiently explained so that the licence clearly includes the attribution they are looking for (at the moment, the examples I find have no proper attribution in the licence). I would be happy to amend the licences by bot, should the attribution statement be agreed, and all the images to be fixed put in one large backlog category. Thanks -- (talk) 10:16, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • You don't seem to understand what this case is about. This user is not "concerned about moral rights", and it isn't about attribution. This user is spamming his website. He is spamming on the images, he is spamming in the descriptions of the images, he is spamming in the EXIF information. And even worse, when asked, he said he admitted he is uploading to promote his website, and draw more visitors th his website. He also said he will not stop spamming, and he said he is going to continue spamming, even though he was asked not to. LeeGer (talk) 18:03, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete A clear COM:ADVERT violation. I recommend to delete all uploads from Microtoerisme and permban the useraccount as this is the name of the website. To be clear: I have no problem when Jan Geerling under his own name creates an account and reuploads his photographs of the Netherlands, but without the watermarks, and without the advertising statement on the pages and with a clean EXIF tag. As he has all the originals, he would be the most suitable person to reupload these 1452 images. It is not the job of the community to clean up the mess that Microtoerisme created in the first place. Hans Erren (talk) 14:52, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • You are quoting a shortcut (ADVERT) to a sentence within a guideline, that itself entirely relies on an interpretation of a subsection of scope. The key point of that paragraph in the scope official policy is that content should realistically be of an educational purpose. All these images fit that description, so there is no tangible rationale for a deletion here. Thanks -- (talk) 16:02, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete It was and is this user's stated intent to spam using these images. Even though the images are not used in any articles (as far as I know), they do appear when clicking {commonscat} sisterlinks in articles (again: user's intent to make this happen was clearly shown by his consistent over-catting, even after being asked several times not to do that). To avoid this type of abuse growing into epidemic, we need to give a clear signal by deleting all images and blocking the user indefinitely. Per Hans Erren, user can create a new account and resubmit clean versions of the images, with regular source annotation. It's unrealistic to have the community clean up 1452 images. Whaledad (talk) 17:34, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • As it happens, it is not unrealistic to have a bot do a standard size trim off 1,452 files. Of course, were we to be able to work with this project contributor to reach a common understanding of how best to use the attribution licence, rather than finding ways to punish them, they may well choose to release unwatermarked versions. Thanks -- (talk) 19:02, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • User:VanBuren has already tried to convince the user to submit pictures without watermark. Microtoerisme's response was: "Het plaatsen van foto's zonder watermerk, waar jij mij toe probeert over te halen, is voor mij niet "lonend" ("Upload of pictures without watermark, which you try to persuade me to do, would have no payback for me."), showing again that his SOLE purpose in uploading these pictures is to draw visitors to his website. Whaledad (talk) 19:17, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sounds good. I'll quite happily add the website link as a legally required attribution to the 1,400+ images. That's is perfectly well within Commons norms for attribution rather than spam and Microtoerisme might see this as useful reward for their work. As the website provides free downloadable material for the public, this seems like a great win-win. If this uploader still wants to help out with Commons content by making unwatermarked photographs available after the block and criticism, then that would be super.
I suggest using {{cc-by-sa-3.0|attribution=Gratis stadswandelingen & fietsroutes - http://www.microtoerisme.nl}}.
Folks seem to be importing a big argument from another project to Commons, the system works a lot better if that does not happen as Commons is quite different in terms of policies and norms compared to other Wikimedia projects. Thanks -- (talk) 19:30, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Feel free to try where VanBuren "failed" (knowing VanBuren he did anything and everything possible). Microtoerisme's email address can be found at [8].
I would object to an advertzing line in the attribution statement. I would accept "{{cc-by-sa-3.0|attribution=www.microtoerisme.nl}}", but not "{{cc-by-sa-3.0|attribution=Gratis stadswandelingen & fietsroutes - http://www.microtoerisme.nl}}".
As for importing problems from other projects. In this case the problem lies on commons (which is a COMMON service to all Wikimedia projects) and cannot be solved at nl.wikipedia. It was first discussed there, as the problem became visible there. The problem can only be solved at commons. Whaledad (talk) 19:48, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done Licences have had the attribution added as suggested. -- (talk) 23:51, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep The intent of the uploader was bad (though we might mention he's hardly alone), but once the watermarks are removed, the images are fine. I think a mass crop is the best solution. If editors wish to go back later and re-remove the watermark without cropping, the original watermarked version will be in the history for them to do so. The advertising blurb from the image description pages should also be removed. In other words, the images are here, they are decent images and we should try to make them acceptable. On the issue of blocking the uploader, I think his block should be indefinite and the lifting of it conditional on his agreeing that any future uploads will be without watermarks, without the advertising blurb, without over catting and in a manner generally acceptable to the community. If he can do this, we should forgive and welcome him back. If he cannot agree or reverts to his old bad ways, he should be blocked permanently. – JBarta (talk) 19:35, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not sure how easy/hard it is to automatically perform this cropping, and how long it would take. If a considerable amount of time is involved, I would plead for a "de-cat" in the meantime, to avoid those pictures showing up on {commonscat} sister links until they are cleaned. Whaledad (talk) 19:48, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a little confused about this business of "{commonscat} sister links". Could you explain that to me further so I can see what you're talking about? – JBarta (talk) 19:50, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I'm suppressing visible categories. It's a bit of a hack but nicely reversible, so long as these images are in a handy category when we want to find them to reverse this suppression. (Commonscat is a way of indicating on various Wikipedias where images related to the topic can be found in a Commons category. Suppressing the visible categories makes these effectively vanish for the moment.) -- (talk) 20:23, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still confused. Why would you "supress" what appears to be a perfectly proper category? – JBarta (talk) 20:29, 16 March 2013 (UTC) Ok, nevermind... I think I understand. it's a punitive thing to try and make these images "disappear" from various categories. Personally I think that's a little silly, overdoing things and it just creates more work because someone has to go back and "unsupress" them. I think we should eliminate improper categories but leave the proper ones alone. – JBarta (talk) 20:34, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not "punitive", but spam avoidance. Because the categorie listing provides the free advertizing (spam) that the user intented. I'm glad that Fae found a hack that's reversible. One more thing: the last 300 or so files were uploaded with "InZicht" (the other name of the website and the organization) as the first part of the file name. Is there a bulk way to change that too? Whaledad (talk) 20:36, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but I'm going AFK - leave a note on my talk page explaining what is needed, and I could deal with it tomorrow at some point unless someone gets on to it before me. Thanks -- (talk) 20:39, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It's somewhat common to have uploader information in the filename. Before changing it, it would be good to check if such a thing is actually contrary to Commons guidelines. After all, we don't want to completely smite the uploader. He does have a legitimate right to get credit for his work. – JBarta (talk) 20:42, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]


  • To the closing admin: (obviously not me) There is no consensus to unblock the uploader at this time, but please check the uploader's talk page or wait for the block to expire before closing this DR. The block I applied will expire Sat, 23 Mar 2013 00:37:28 GMT. Mono 22:38, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Re: cropping: I think there IS a consensus for cropping off the offending watermarks en masse. If someone has the technical ability to accomplish this, I would suggest he go ahead and do it. – JBarta (talk) 22:46, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps CropBot is an option, I don't have any experience with it. Hans Erren (talk) 19:17, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep I agree with Jbarta - the images are fine, annoying watermarks aside. If we can find a way to crop out the watermarks within a reasonable amount of time, then we should keep them (otherwise I may reconsider delete). If the uploader continues to upload images with watermarks after his block has expired, I also agree that he should then be blocked for a much longer time, if not indefinitely. Skeezix1000 (talk) 00:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep Agree with Skeezix1000; this is a recurring problem for which we need indeed a systematic approach. All images in category: Sint Petrus Banden (Oirschot) have been cropped manually. --Foroa (talk) 07:44, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep but crop. I run a few mass cropping efforts in the past and might be able to help with this, however at the moment I am a little bit swamped. It would be easier and we would end up with better images, if uploaded would reupload the original images --Jarekt (talk) 19:30, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Several attempts have been made to convince the uploader to upload non-watermarked image, which he refused. He also refuses to come and discuss this here (but he IS reading this). At one point he told VanBuren he was willing to upload pictures with a white border, where the watermark was in the border so we could more easily crop them. It's not clear to me where the gain would be for him, as it would only cost us some work, but the end result would be clean images (and no advertizing for him). At this point he has made it known that he won't be uploading anything anymore, even when his block expires. It's too bad a better understanding with this person could not be reached. Whaledad (talk) 23:07, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep. unblock, and stop living in the stone age, or stoning age as the case has become. No sooner can you point to a watermarked image than someone makes the watermark disappear, wake the fuck up people.
Watermarks are becoming so trivial as software advances that a bot can be written to remove them and no doubt cause complaining that someone ripped out all the watermarks from some list of images without first getting consensus and blah blah f**king blah.
Argue if it is this or this at your leisure later. It's not block/delete first and then discuss at village pump later and maybe you were right but if you fucked the project don't worry about it cause that's ok, otherwise everyone would be blocked for everything until admins learn everything and images are proved ok, now how the F can you do that if you can't see the images.
handle the project with care lest it become as failed as en.wiki Penyulap 12:28, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'll respond to one of your points... as one who has removed at least hundreds of watermarks. Most watermarks require a certain amount of time and effort to remove. Some may be cropped out, but that's about the limit of what a bot might do. The idea that a bot can be written to remove all but the most trivial and croppable watermarks is nonsense. In the end, watermark removal requires (wastes?) a LOT of editor effort. – JBarta (talk) 16:01, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Penyulap, it is so refreshing to hear someone so eloquently arguing their clear thoughts. I would suggest, that perhaps instead of arguing about how easy it is to write watermark removal bot, you should just write one so we can "stop living in the stone age". --Jarekt (talk) 16:19, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm quite busy redrawing some horsies on a carousel right now TOP priority work for a barnstar :)
plus, there is the issue of whether people will ever stop blocking and nuking watermarked images in the first place.
There are enough images to do botwork on, but who is to say they won't be deleted first ? what is the point of writing a bot for images that are deleted from view but still on the server ? is someone going to make my bot a sysop without making me one ? and like as if that idea isn't the 5th horse of the apocalypse right there. Maybe I should make an attack-an-admin-bot which makes thousands of requests for undelete at the same time, because the images will, won't, will, won't, will, won't, will, won't, be deleted, it's all been decided hasn't it ? By the time admins stop fucking with contributors who upload these useful images will there be any that come back ?
All this argument bullshit should be at the village pump working out watermark policy rather than randomly blocking and unblocking, like someone got a hand free from the straight-jacket and is making quick work of the project.
As for suggesting something can't be done, prove it. The addition is in the exact same place in every image, it's a total nobrainer to write a plugin, or a script (maybe I could learn that part in a day). In the meantime as I am busy drawing, can you goto the Bot discussion groups and ask someone there to please take over drawing the carousel for me, it looks like this one but totally different. When someone from the bot groups can take this drawing job off my hands for a few moments, I'll pop over there and write a bot, ok ?
Plus, on the subject of me operating a bot, which you bring up, last time I got a bot flag for a bot, someone couldn't work out who was not operating it because it was indef blocked, and they had to use checkuser to work out who was not operating the indef blocked bot. That didn't go well as complaining about abuse of tools just gets your ass blocked forever, that did not concern me in the least. What concerned me was the phone call. I lived in fear of the phone call. You see, I knew he was plotting to kill me and other editors agreed that it was an excellent idea so if they ever worked out where on Earth this rogue homicidal bot was operating from it could have turned out rather poorly.
So you see, operating a bot is fraught with danger, I have nothing against homicidal bots with lasers for eyes and missiles on their shoulders, or those predator combined missile and laser things all on the shoulder in one neat and easy to carry package, they're delightful and an evil genius's best friend, but it's a great deal of effort to go through the whole process IF that is not something you do a lot. Some people do that a lot, and I have only been studying bots, webscraping, java python mysql and so on for a short time, so I won't be ready until AFTER you lot stop your bickering and take it to the village pump and work out some freaking policy.
In the meantime the images listed at the top of the page as being ruined or whatever from watermarks have no watermarks, show me some examples of images ruined by watermarks please. Penyulap 17:44, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I find repeated and aggressive use of "fuck" offensive, so I'm taking this page off my watchlist. I hope that Commons does not support editors turning it into 4chan.

@Penyulap: (A) I second Fae's remark on the F word usage; absolutely unnecessary. (B) It is true that the images listed above and about 50 others have already been edited.

Language aside, Penyulap does stress an important point... that Commons has no clear watermark policy and any "enforcement" is inconsistent and all over the map. Files get deleted or not deleted depending whether they show up on the radar, on the whims of some random administrator and according to arbitrary standards. It's pitiful really when you think about it. We shoot ourselves in the foot and then complain we're bleeding. – JBarta (talk) 05:15, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I might be wrong, but this looks a bit like a scan of a printed publication. Stefan4 (talk) 22:00, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct in asserting you are wrong. This pix was taken during the 1998 freediving World Cup by my wife and is not a scanned copy of a printed publication. Therefore legitimately USABLE under the Wiki guidelines, thus please remove the deletion request, thanks (talk)--Sharky60 (talk) 13:56, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is no clear evidence provided that the author is dead for at least 70 (plus) years. The assumption that there is no author known seems also to be very vague since there was surely no sufficient research being done.

 Keep, all this stuff is from the First World War, it's all too old. Fry1989 eh? 19:22, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Considering their German file names, I'm even willing to bet alot of of these fall under Bundesarchiv licensing. Fry1989 eh? 19:40, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
A "Bundesarchiv licensing" does not exist. "too old" is not given. Please read PD licensing rules. --High Contrast (talk) 21:09, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Don;'t you tell me to "go read the PD licenses", I'm well aware of them. There IS a special attribution license for any image held in the German Federal Archives, of which no doubt many of these are. However, also considering all these images are from WWI, PD-old would also apply. Fry1989 eh? 21:35, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is no Bundesarchiv license. Only few images of the Bundesarchiv have been published under a free CC-license on Commons. This CC license only applies for those ones on Commons. If there are duplicates among those files listed above they must get deleted due to this anyway. For other files we need very specific author information in order to user PD-old (please remember: life of the author plus 70 years) or PD-anon. These are the facts. --High Contrast (talk) 21:49, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, for proving me right. I said there is a special attribution license for images held in the Bundesarchiv, I was right. As for PD-old, I am also very aware that it requires 70 years past the death of the author, which means in this case the author of any of these images would have had to have died in 1943 or earlier. Extremely plausible.If you don't like my vote to keep, too bad, but it is not arbitrary or just because "I want everything to stay", I have two extremely plausible reasons why these images are free to stay on Commons. Fry1989 eh? 21:57, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have no opinion on your "vote". My likes are irrelevant here. You surely know: DRs are not here in order to exchange votes. Only facts count and you did not provide any. You have only provided speculations which do not help to solve this issue. --High Contrast (talk) 22:00, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep, Some and maybe more pictures are allready on wikimedia commons!Alfvanbeem eh? 18:15, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am pretty new to wikicommons so forgive me when my arguments are not clear or realistic. Myatrongest argument (up to now) is that for example File:Ein 40 cm-Eisenbahn-Langrohrgeschütz in Geuerstellung in der Schlucht von Harbonniès.jpg is already on wikimedia commons as File:400 mm railway howitzer 1916 AWM H04509.jpeg . I have found other pictures as well which i, if you think can enforce the argument will find for you! However i find it strange that this image was made available from the Collection Database of the Australian War Memorial under the ID Number: H04509 where also no author name has been given! Please tell me the reason (since i am pretty new to all this) that we accept this and not from a single user? Is this not measuring whit different standards? Furthermore, some of the pictures are clearly from the same author like File:Ein 40 cm-Eisenbahn-Langrohrgeschütz, das in der Schlucht von Harbonnières (Somme) Stellung bezogen hat.jpg So it would be save to assume that that picture is also allowed or is that not so? I also have another question. What does wikimedia commons find acceptable for a time-span as to consider if an unknown author can be safely assumed to have been deseased + 70 years, so we know we can use those pictures? Or is that never the case? If you want me to produce more evidence of pictures from "Der Weltkrieg im Bild" already on wikimedia, please let me know and i will try to find them, alltough it is pretty tough since i don't know a fast way to go trough all of the subcategories to find the pictures. Regards, Alf van Beem

Photographs of British artillery and servicemen in action are by definition Crown Copyright, and hence in the public domain 50 years after creation. Reason is that only official Government photographers were allowed to use cameras that close to the action, meaning all such photographs were created for or by the British Government, hence subject to Crown Copyright. This would even apply to an ordinary serviceman who took photographs privately while on duty - he took them in the course of his work, hence the Government owned copyright. Hence e.g. Englische Eisenbahnhaubitze vor Feuerabgabe.jpg is in the public domain since about 1968. Hence all WWI photographs showing British, Australian, Canadian etc. units and equipment deployed anywhere near the front can safely be assumed to be PD even if we don't know who took them. Rcbutcher (talk) 17:58, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the info Rcbutcher. This means that files like File:Englische und französische Kolonnen im Morast.jpg and any other file names with British or Canadian in it should stay, i think? Also, all this photo's were from the Archives of the Entente (i.e. The Entente cordiale, a series of agreements signed on 8 April 1904 between the United Kingdom and the French Third Republic) as stated in the book, as i understand it, meaning that all photo's are from those two countries. I don't know if there are any French photographes in that book nor the rights that than should apply. If this is so, nust i change the licences myself and if so, to what licence? Regards, Alfvanbeem (talk) 12:07, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, if British Empire forces (Brit, Indian, Canadian, Australian, NZ, South African, Newfoundland) in action, they are official & Crown Copyright & now Public Domain - they only allowed British Empire official photographers to photograph. But somebody has already started deleting them ?@! Rcbutcher (talk) 12:55, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Rcbutcher, thanks for the answer. Another question i have isthe following: Do i remove the deletion request as well. I did it with file 20,3 cm-Mörsers. Is this ok and will the files not be deleted then? Regards, Alfvanbeem (talk) 08:36, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Can you provide some valid evidence why a PD-UKGov applied for this file File:20,3 cm-Mörsers.jpg, please? --High Contrast (talk) 17:35, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
As understood from the above written: "Yes, if British Empire forces....." AND the soldiers on the photograph are English (see there helmets), is the evidence. Alfvanbeem (talk) 07:11, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the identifiable soldiers in the picture appear to be wearing Adrian helmets and hence most likely to be visiting French (note the notebook - he could be an officer on a study tour). However - this is a British 8-inch Mk VI howitzer and were only operated by the Brits in their own emplacements - I very much doubt they would have allowed French photographers or any other in here because the Brits would need to carefully censor any photographs before release, and allowing outside photographers would have made this difficult. Remember, this was a war and these were key military assets - the latest British supergun - you don't allow anybody with a camera near them unless you control them. Many such photographs were either not released at the time or censored to hide any important details.Rcbutcher (talk) 09:46, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Threshold of originality concern - Bulgaria Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:43, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It only contains nuber "7" + TV in it. so it spots a PD-text logo.--The TV Boy 08:30, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Since the previous nomination, this has been overwritten by a substantially more complex image. This is no longer just a simple letter, but it also has a colour effect and a 3D effect. I think that we need to delete the current version of the file. Stefan4 (talk) 10:33, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment I agree that it deserves a new discussion. In the USA, it is just two letters and a number, clearly PD-text, but it would probably fall under the UK's typography rule if it were sourced there. I have no idea what the rule is in Bulgaria, and I doubt that any of us do, so we may have have to delete it on COM:PRP grounds. Too bad -- it's much better looking than the old logo. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:40, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In Bulgaria the logos of the national TV channels are provided with free license, but if you insist so I've uploaded a new more simplified version without the 3D efect.--The TV Boy (talk · contribs) 17:16, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment There are now four different images in the history, so apart from deleting some revisions, this need to be split up. I would say that the first, second and fourth uploads are fine whereas the third and fifth uploads are unclear due to colour effects on both of them and a 3D effect on one of them. --Stefan4 (talk) 17:48, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please correctly license this file. The operation of recording a voice is a technical operation, and doesn't create copyright. So, Manuel Massimo isn't the copyright holder. What the Vatican copyright law says about official talk recordings? I guess, such a formal speak doesn't meet the originality threshold, as it's the spoken version of a public domain text. But what about droits voisins? Dereckson (talk) 11:27, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the actual vatican Copyright Law. But I don't can italian, so someone who is able to read italien should check this. --Excolis (talk) 13:10, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In the first page, the third and fourth paragraphs are the translation in english of the first and second paragraphs. The first part of the second page speaks about some Benedetto XVI's audiences. In the second part I read that all economic and moral copyrights of the Pope are entrusted to the Libreria Editrice Vaticana which can operate in the place of Holy See. I quote, "[Libreria Editrice Vaticana] perform any act of disposal of such rights, follow any legal and judicial way, propose any action to the full protection and realization of these rights and It resist any claim or demand by third parties, in accordance with the provisions of international treaties and conventions that Holy See has joined." The third page is about Benedetto XVI: He entrusted his copyrights, of his life before becoming Pope, to Libreria Editrice Vaticana. The last part of the page speaks about some appointments made by Benedetto XVI.--Peppo (talk) 14:41, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hm. So this law only affects speeches, works, etc. by popes? Here is an older copyright law, also in italian, maybe it's still binding? --Excolis (talk) 19:16, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that law only affects speeches, works, etc. by popes.
The older law: Art 1 says that Holy See adopts the Italian copyright law, as long as it is not contrary divine and canonical rights, or en:Lateran Treaty. Art 2 says copyrights law enforces the texts of law and official acts pubblished by Holy See or Vatican City. Art 3 says that the article n. 20 of Lateran Treaty is revoked (goods from abroad is no longer allowed to move freely). Art 4 says these articles came into force on the date of publication. --Peppo (talk) 12:58, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
