[edit]

Majority of files coming from Offficial X (Twitter) accounts of different departments and people related to Govt of India. Nearly, all are uploaded under GODL-India license. Although some accounts are offical accounts of the concered departments others are personal accounts of the ministers, the files have never been released under GODL. Bcoz twitter is not the place for it.

[edit]
You are very much confused about what's personal and what's govt account. As long as it is listed as Govt account it is so. These X accounts are done at the request of the Govt department that contact X and hence listed as such being Govt accounts and the content of those are for public consumption. So I would request not to waste your time, in pursuing absolute useless tasks. To the Admins please note that this is misunderstanding on Shaan Sengupta's part. Even SpokespersonNavy @indiannavy as Personal account could be an attempt at humour. :) Please remove the delete warning from all those images. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mifiin (talk • contribs)
@Mifiin there is absolutely no misunderstanding on my part. Regarding the alleged confusion, I have explained on my talk page under your thread. I won't repeat. Regarding the grey tick on X accounts, it is just a part of new verification policy of X. There is nothing much to read into it. It is present even in MPs who are not part of the govt and are in opposition. God knows when you will learn this simple thing. Period ShaanSenguptaTalk 08:32, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete unless it can be shown that there is a copy on a government website. That remains the uploader's responsibility. Yann (talk) 08:46, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep all those which come from official accounts. Better, procedurally close, and let the nom renominate any that are provably, as they allege "personal accounts of the ministers". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:59, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Pigsonthewing One question. On what basis can we keep the ones coming from Twitter official accounts of the departments when many are run under contracts awarded by the govt. How can we apply GODL-India on images which are never released under it on a govt website. As far as the ones uploaded by personal accounts of ministers is concerned, the uploaders knowledge and logic regarding what is personal and official is so wrong that I believe they are not for Commons. You can see why I am saying so above in their comment or on this thread on my talk page. ShaanSenguptaTalk 12:04, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please cite evidence that GODL-India requires media to be "released under it on a govt website". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:53, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
GODL says the meaning of publication is mentioned in THE COPYRIGHT ACT, 1957, which says 3. Meaning of publication.— For the purposes of this Act, “publication” means making a work available to the public by issue of copies or by communicating the work to the public.
4. When work not deemed to be published or performed in public.— Except in relation to infringement of copyright, a work shall not be deemed to be published or performed in public, if published, or performed in public, without the licence of the owner of the copyright. Now to my understanding, there is no way publication of images only on social media sites satisfy the last line of section 4, bcoz it is uploaded there without the licence of the owner. So how can it be reproduced somewhere else citing it as a source. Correct me if I am wrong. ShaanSenguptaTalk 13:16, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
