Files in Category:Banknotes of the Czech Republic
[edit]The Act No. 136/2011 Coll. and the decree of the Czech National Bank No. 274/2011 Coll.(engl. version) define the terms and conditions under which it is possible to reproduce money:
For intangible reproductions of banknotes, it is required that their resolution does not exceed 72 dots per inch and they are marked with the word “Specimen” printed diagonally in an opaque colour and in a layer that cannot be separated from the image of the banknote, with the length of the word being at least 75% of the longer side of the banknote and the height being at least 15% of the shorter side of the banknote (or with another word of the same dimensions and similar meaning). Intangible or nonmetallic images of coins may always be produced.
None of the images in the category reflects the highlighted criterion, thus all such reproductions are illegal.

Comment Since no uploaders have been notified and there are no files listed, this DR should be closed. This sounds like a non-copyright restriction as well. Will start a Village Pump thread about this though. Abzeronow (talk) 14:41, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
- Well, I found important to notify here about the serious legal issue to prevent it remain unspotted and because I unfortunately don't have time to mark 35 files and notify several uploaders, I hoped somebody will take care about the procedural things necessary to process the files removal. (Frankly, if the result will be that (illegal) files will remain kept just because of (unfulfilled) bureaucratic requirements, then something is rotten here and should be obviously revisited...) Thanks for cranking up the Village pump thread.
— Danny B. 16:51, 7 February 2019 (UTC)- I could do a different mass DR for this. (I can use the gadget for Visual File Change, so not that difficult to make sure uploaders are notified) I'll wait a few more days before deciding on that though. (Hopefully that VP thread will get some feedback by then). Abzeronow (talk) 03:45, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
- It surely is a non-copyright restriction based on Czech law. BTW it applies not only to Czech banknotes, but to any valid banknotes from any country. I assume the US law has some similar restriction and should be applied preferentially; I haven't found any guidelines on this project though.--Shlomo (talk) 20:22, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Keep - non-copyright restriction indicated by Template:Money-CZ. Template was missing in some files in category, I have added it to these files.--Jklamo (talk) 23:56, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
- If the file is illegal, a template explaining why won't make it less illegal…--Shlomo (talk) 13:26, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
- Comment Please see Commons_talk:Currency/Archive_1#Derivative_works_and_requirement_for_word_.22SPECIMEN.22. Gumruch (talk) 21:36, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
- Comment Also, see Commons:Currency#Czech Republic and {{Counterfeiting}}. This is obviously a non-copyright-restriction, so the files are not against Commons rules. On the other hand, I think adding the SPECIMEN marking on all images of Czech banknotes would not be a terribly wrong thing to do. Or, at the very least, having such law-abiding versions on Commons (whether we would delete those without the marking or not), so that they can be used. --Mormegil (talk) 12:26, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
Kept: no valid reason for deletion -- Both because this is a non-copyright restriction and because it is done out of process. Files must be marked and uploaders notified so that all interested parties can comment if they wish. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:18, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
