Speedy keep Why would you make a nomination like this for an uploader's own work? He has re-uploaded versions which fixed that problem, if there ever really was a problem in the first place. While I've found it difficult to communicate with him, I'm wondering if you even bothered to take that approach first.RadioKAOS (talk) 20:56, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- @RadioKAOS: Before accusing people you should verify that there has been no "communication", which is untrue. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 06:26, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
Kept, new versions are uploaded. Taivo (talk) 11:03, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
Hello I'm not sure if this is the correct place to respond so please forgive me if that is the case. Immediately after being notified of this minor editing error on my part I addressed it. Since I work both on Flickr and Wikimedia and sometimes concurrently, and have different 'Copyright' production imprint for both, this is how it happenened. Gillfoto 17:31, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
These are good photos that I would really like to keep; I just closed Commons:Deletion requests/File:O Earth Day Protest.jpg. Unfortunately, they might be copyright violations.
The photos all show high school students holding posters at climate protests. When I closed the other DR, I thought that the posters shown in O Earth Day Protest.jpg (which are mainly text) were PD or at least de minimis, so no problem. But now I realise that decorated poster on the left might be a problem. In the other files, the copyrighted elements are even more prominent. There is no freedom of panorama for posters in the US.
I hope that the uploader can somehow get permission from the authors of the posters, but otherwise, these files probably need to be deleted.

- O Earth Day Protest.jpg contains only three posters, which fill the image, which is why I am not sure about de minimis. And I just noticed that its caption, We're on Thin Ice - Fight For Our Future, specifically draws attention to that decorated poster on the left, which further weakens any de minimis argument.

- Now it also occurs to me that the first two files can be saved by cropping out the posters with copyrighted decorations. But the last file, which focuses on just one poster, probably can’t be saved unless the copyrighted decoration is de minimis. Brianjd (talk) 11:10, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
- Well I must say I'm shocked and somewhat disturbed, at this late date I will endeavor in contacting the High School to seek their permission. How to do you suggest I submit transmission of their approval? Is there Politics at play here on Wikimedia? Gillfoto (talk) 07:51, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Gillfoto I don’t like this any more than you do; I am simply applying copyright law (which I have no control over) as I understand it. I am no expert on copyright, and would be happy to have my understanding corrected. But I find the idea that I am playing politics here offensive.
- Who is/are the copyright owner(s)? I assume that protestors usually make their own posters (which would normally make them the copyright owners), but apparently the US has funny ideas about school students being forced to assign their copyrights to their schools. I don’t know whether that applies here.
- Commons generally expects the copyright owner (not you) to submit permission to VRT. Brianjd (talk) 07:53, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
Deleted: per nomination, no permission received, regrettably. Perhaps the protesters might see the deletion and sent their permission. Please follow in that case the procedure described in VRT. --Ellywa (talk) 23:08, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
