File:Unveiling US-SAN sign.jpg

[edit]

Derivative of copyright logos including Wikipedia logo without attribution (as required for example by File:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg). The file was nominated for copyright violation but the uploader disagrees. FredWalsh (talk) 23:22, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Banner created by a Wikimedia affiliate. If attribution is required why not add it, rather than than propose deleting it per w:WP:BEFORE, criteria C "Consider whether the article could be improved rather than deleted".--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 23:59, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
We are not questioning who made the banner. They may have had permission from the WMF to use the Wikipedia logo. We are questioning your apparent right to license logos that you do not own the copyright for. The onus for the attribution lay solely with you as the uploader of the file. You should not point at others and deflect responsibility - I did not upload it, so why should I correct it?
As for the remainder of your comment, WP:BEFORE does not apply on Commons because this is not Wikipedia and we are not discussing an encyclopaedic article. Try to focus on using Commons policies and guidelines for Commons deletion processes. FredWalsh (talk) 00:12, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That does not sound right. The above is not civil or assuming good faith.
Thus, if attribution is added (by anyone), the deletion requests will be dropped?--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 01:11, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It is quite common to expect Wikipedia policies, guidelines and ideas to be used here but Commons has its own policies and guidelines. You linked to a page about Article Deletion on the English Wikipedia. It has absolutely no relevance or authority in Commons file deletion processes.
The problem with copyright is that a lot of people do not understand it although they think they do. The creative commons licenses are legal documents which bind re-users to certain requirements. One of those is the Attribution requirement, which means you should have pointed out who the original authors were when you uploaded these files. The failure to do this means you have broken the legal requirement of the license for the Wikipedia logo. That invalidates the license from the WMF/authors for you to include the logo in your photo and it must be removed immediately unless you obtain permission from the WMF to keep the photo. Please have a careful read of sections 4(c) for attribution requirements and 7(a) for the automatic termination of the license at Creative Commons. FredWalsh (talk) 12:04, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
My 2 cents: this is an honest volunteers' attempt at helping the movement grow. Maybe adding a comment in the talk page such as "Next time remember to add the correct attribution in your banner" would suffice, instead of using a jackhammer and crushing volunteers' spirits?
