[edit]

Publisher's name or photographer's initials on photos. Please change for the actual date of shooting and explain why images are public domain in Belgium.

@FrDr: Following the brief reply I've already sent to you it seems you don't understand how copyright works (you don't acquire copyright by purchasing a copy of a work). So let's me precise. Each of your upload is at risk of being deleted. First you are not allowed to claim own work: {{Own}} means that "you personally created the entire original image by yourself" so you have to make researchs to find out who was the photographer (many non anonym postcards related to Zottegem have been published by Editions Haegeman at Cousy so it may not be too difficult to find out the photographer's name). Second you have to find out the photographer'ds date of death which is linked to the start of the copyright countdown (photographic works are protected 70 years after the author's death in Belgium). Third (but it's the less urgent) you must change the date 21 May 2020 for the actual date of shooting which gives you a clue if the work is in public domain or not (typically a photo shot 1910 by an up to 30-years old photographer who died at 70 may still be under copyright). At this time I've only submitted to deletion a few files the time for you to make the proper researchs but note that all your uploads share the same problem. Please contact me if you need further explainations. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 13:54, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

These information boards clearly aren't the uploaders own work and the only exception for government works in Belgium seems to be "official act of the authorities", which these don't qualify as. And if they were even created by the government to begin with. So the images should be deleted as COPYVIO unless someone can provide evidence to the contrary.

Most of them appear to either be on private grounds or it's at least not clear if they are or not. Unfortunately the user has a pretty long history of uploading COPYVIO. So I didn't feel like just giving them the benefit of the doubt about it. At least not without a discussion first. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:25, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Private grounds"? Sorry, but it doesn't make sense. If you have some real evidence of a copyright violations, then show it. Otherwise withdraw this. Yann (talk) 10:05, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What doesn't make sense about that and since when do people have who nominate files for deletion have to show "real" evidence of a copyright violation? You know that's not the standard and it's like I didn't look into this before hand either. Just because you can't be bothered to doesn't mean it's nonsensical. --Adamant1 (talk) 10:12, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: no valid reason for deletion. FoP apply. Invalid DR. These pictures were obviously taken in public places. If you have evidence of a copyright violation, then show it, otherwise don't open DRs like this. --Yann (talk) 10:18, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
