Files in Category:Ringhals nuclear power plant

[edit]

Commons:Freedom_of_panorama#Sweden: Buildings may be freely reproduced in pictorial form. However, photographers should be aware that some buildings and other facilities are covered by the Swedish security law (2010:305) (Skyddslagen). Such facilities have clearly visible yellow signs with the text "Skyddsobjekt" and it is forbidden to depict them in any form, although this does not form part of Swedish copyright law. Therefore not covered by FOP.

I already closed a DR and deleted a photograph of the plant. I think it's not correct for me to delete the remaining photos w/o having a paper trail. I tagged the category with a caution template as well Category:Ringhals nuclear power plant. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 05:37, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep Not a copyright issue. See that French military plant.[1] Commons:Deletion requests/File:Base militaire de Pierre-sur-Haute.jpg Please, do not start restricting civil liverties at Your own initiative. Edaen (talk) 07:52, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Presumably since it is a "protected object". It got such protection in 1995 and in 2010 the owner applied for an extended protection to ban photography of the entire plant. It is unlikely that photographs of the plant that are older than 2009/2010 violate the protection.[2] It is not about copyright anyway and therefore really a "speedy keep".

Should Category:Nuclear power plants in Sweden be included?   — Jeff G. ツ 18:08, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Why not banks or Royal palaces? It is the decision that makes an object protected. Some bankservices are protected as is category:Haga Palace.[3] As already noted there was no ban on photographing at Ringhals before 1995 and from the outside not before 2010. The police closed an investigation against Google Street View on the grounds that the crime is to take the photographs, not to publish them on the internet.[4] Edaen (talk) 18:38, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am aware that there is no (c)-issue per se. Fact is, Sweden has a law that makes it illegal to take photographs of certain objects. Therefore those photographs are not allowed on Commons. "Commons only accepts media that are in the public domain in at least the United States and in the source country of the work".Please have a peek @ com:L, esp. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content, that is, images and other media files that are not subject to copyright restrictions which would prevent them being used by anyone, anytime, for any purpose. Offering restricted photographs could potentially result in the photographer or the re-user to be punished by Sweden's authorities. If the community decides to ignore this policy, so be it. I won't stand in the way. Maybe we should discuss this @ the village pump and put this DR on hold? --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 00:50, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The relevant guideline is Commons:Non-copyright restrictions. Edaen (talk) 04:15, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
These restrictions in Sweden are not copyright restrictions. Yes, the photographers could be punished (for actions taken before upload to Commons, not our problem but they should be aware of the repercussions of their actions). It appears Google Street View drivers in Sweden drive too fast to read signs unrelated to traffic control, or are ignorant of the meaning of the signs, or have read http://cornucopia.cornubot.se/2015/09/fritt-fram-for-google-att-fotografera.html and therefore do not care. The reuser Google was not punished. Commons:Non-copyright restrictions is an official guideline. Let's follow it.   — Jeff G. ツ 07:47, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
So, we ignore SWE law (as we do URAA) and call it a day? OK, I  I withdraw my nomination. I'd like to keep the warning box. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 03:03, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
keep and warn wrongful nomination, this is really tendentious. commons is not responsible for uploaders legal risk. the nominator needs a trout and perhaps a block. Slowking4♡Richard Arthur Norton's revenge 04:28, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to warn me, do that @ Com:AN/U, not here. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 04:51, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
i slap in the inappropriate venue you chose. i do not go to drama boards, i have work to do. Slowking4♡Richard Arthur Norton's revenge 13:25, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Geez, you are a grudge holder. Get a cup'o tea and have a chat with me. But let's keep this out of deletion requests, please. Best, --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 22:21, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: as above. Yann (talk) 20:45, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
