[edit]

Not own work, COM:DW. Most of that should be OK, but proper license and information needed.

Most of that seems to be way below any TOO. --Sebari (talk) 16:19, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, All the above images are scanned personally by me. I have been collecting for over 20 years WW2 documents and passports and thought it would be wonderful to share them on line. I take full responsibility for the images. --Huddyhuddy (talk) 17:43, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What do I need to do in order to prove that these images I scanned from my collection? --Huddyhuddy (talk) 17:44, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You need to fix all files as File:1943 visa for Turkey - assisting Jews.jpg: proper license, date, source and author. Thanks, Yann (talk) 16:59, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

As an editor at he.Wikipedia, I got to know User:Huddyhuddy. He's not an active contributor to the Commons, nor to Wikipedia. Regarding the list of files he uploaded and might be deleted within a week, at least some of them are PD-Israel. The problem is that this person did not know the right way to upload them, hence he did not provide sufficient information/accurate information in some cases, and in non of them he chose the relevant permission. That's the way it is in many times and we, the editors, have to deal with it. The difference in this case is that his files gives us unique documents. I started checking this list and modified the details of two files (one I deleted from the list while the other was left there as an example for this message to you). As you've mentioned yourself, some may be PD-UKGov.
Well, that's the case. I will try to check the case of every file as soon as possible, but as I'm busy with other Wikimedia/Wikipedia staff, it may unfortunately take more than a week. Please understand. Thanks in advance, Ldorfman (talk) 14:53, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for looking after these. The date, source, and author also need to be fixed. Regards, Yann (talk) 17:05, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think this should be closed as a keep and then some of the items above should be nominated individually or in small groups of related issues. I don't think there are many below the ToO here, and there are many with photographs that probably have copyrights, but some, such as the US Passport pages without photographs are PD-US Gov and others have other clear reasons why they are OK. We cannot possibly discuss them all here without wasting a lot of time. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:45, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have replaced, with a strike-through, the file that Ldorfman removed from the list. Keeping a record of the entire DR calls for leaving it here. Its being in the list also ensures that it will get a {{Kept}} tag when the DR is closed. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:52, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Jim,
Thanks for you edit. I think however that this should stay open until the license, date, source, and author(s) of the above files have been fixed. Regards, Yann (talk) 11:58, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yann, please consider that the issues here are very different. An 1815 USA passport is an obvious keep, as are the other USA passport pages without photographs. On the other hand, many of the documents here have photographs and require discussion, country by country and date by date. We can not possibly discuss 75 different files with more than 10 different countries all in one place. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:06, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Jim. Copyright issues are too mixed up. -- Geagea (talk) 12:26, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
How about processing the most obvious cases, and then move the rest to separate DRs? I try to minimize bureaucracy... Regards, Yann (talk) 15:14, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
OK, to a point. I think we can all agree that all of the US passports without a photo are PD-US-GOV (also, in the one case, PD-OLD). There's at least one British passport that is out of Crown Copyright (older than 50 years). I've marked all of my obvious keeps above. .     Jim . . . .

Thank you all for having this discussion. Ldorfman (talk) 13:15, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I understand (please correct me if I'm wrong), {{PD-USGov}} applies only for documents issued since 1978, while the American documents in this list were issued before that... Ldorfman (talk) 13:40, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: Per discussion; this is too many files of too different situations to handle on a single DN. Ellin Beltz (talk) 09:20, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
