File:Wikimedia Research Showcase -- March 2016.pdf

[edit]

The image of Marian-Andrei Rizoiu on page two appears at http://www.rizoiu.eu/ with an explicit copyright notice. It is likely that the other images are also not properly licensed or attributed in the PDF. This PDF cannot be kept on Commons without proper licensing and atrribtuion of all its images in the PDF itself. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:45, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The content of the presentation is original research concerning Wikipedia editors and their privacy. There is value in keeping it for editors to consult it. I, Marian-Andrei Rizoiu, am happy to transfer copyright of the offending image so that the presentation stays in place. Please let me know how to do so.

Unless you have an agreement in writing from the actual photographer, the subject of a photograph does not have the right to freely license it. In order to keep the image on Commons we will need a free license from the photographer via OTRS. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:30, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Just a quick note that Dario (WMF) has been notified of this and several other recent deletion requests related to WMF Research Showcases, and will be reaching out to the WMF Legal team today for guidance on how to proceed. Please hold off on deleting this and other individual research showcase decks until we are able to determine a general solution for the issues raised here. Thank you, Jmorgan (WMF) (talk) 18:13, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I just reached out to Marian-Andrei and provided him with some additional, specific guidance on how to address the identified concerns. Jmorgan (WMF) (talk) 21:19, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
