Files of UAWS

[edit]

UAWS (talk · contribs) uploaded these photos:

First group. Historical photos, maybe copyright violations.

Second group. Mostly small photos without metadata. I suspect not own work, but copyright violation again. Taivo (talk) 09:15, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Taivo: This is a misunderstanding. Your presumption of copyright violation is incorrect. I'll lay out the facts before you:
  • A few years back, I was asked by a board member of UAWS to create an article about this organization as a personal favor. (My family has Ukrainian heritage.)
  • During my meeting with UAWS, they shared with me their archives, and a senior UAWS photographer has shared his vast array of pictures.
  • I explained the tricky Wikipedia policies pertinent to images, and we separated the pictures that I wanted to use into three categories:
    1. Those that were not taken by the UAWS photographer and were not free.
    2. Those that were taken by UAWS photographer and he and UAWS were okay to share them under Wikipedia license.
    3. Those that were not taken by UAWS photographer, but were free for other reasons.
  • I subsequently uploaded category 1 as fair-use on en-wiki and category 3 into Commons.
  • I explained to the photographer that since he technically owned the copyright to category 2 pictures, it would be best if he were to upload those himself.
  • And this is exactly what the photographer did. Preferring to stay anonymous, he created UAWS account the next day and uploaded the pictures from his archive.
As you can see, there is no copyright violation here. On the contrary, everything was uploaded with strict adherence to Commons polices. Please close the deletion nomination, 凰兰时罗 (talk) 19:02, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
