[edit]

Derivative works. More information needed about copyright, COM:FOP, etc.

@Yann: Hello, first of all, thank you for your vigilance in service of Wikimedia.
I uploaded these pictures in good faith thinking that these photos were kosher due to the fact that ONCF is a public, state-owned company in Morocco. In the US, where I'm from, works by the government are automatically considered public domain.
To be honest, I feel that being given a "final warning" is not fair. I struggle as someone independently learning these byzantine copyright technicalities that differ seemingly arbitrarily from one country to another, and what I do is always in good faith to improve Wikipedia—particularly when it comes to topics relating to Morocco and this part of the world, which are dramatically underrepresented on Wikimedia.
To speak specifically about the individual images in question here:
Could it not be argued that the stand is just a part of a composition which also include the background?
No. See also Commons:Freedom_of_panorama#Morocco. Yann (talk) 12:11, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This one too?
Idem above. Yann (talk) 12:11, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This is an informational sign at a public park created by the municipal government. Not ok?
I don't think so. Copyright belongs either to the indivdual creator or the municipal government, depending on the contract between them. Yann (talk) 12:11, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This is a ticket. What is the rule for tickets? I've seen a number of tickets posted on Wiki, including another ticket for this exact transport service.
Copyright is owned by the publisher or the designer. Yann (talk) 12:11, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Is this one ok? File:Casatram-titrerechargeable.JPG It's a ticket for the same service.Sambasoccer27 (talk) 15:16, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Probably not either: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Casatram-titrerechargeable.JPG‎. Yann (talk) 15:50, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think that it's fair to ask for leniency and a reconsideration of my "final warning" status. I have contributed substantially to Wikimedia Commmons and I've learned through my mistakes—I haven't made the same copyright mistake twice—and I promise to be more conscious moving forward.

OK, fine, but do not upload any such work without asking first. Regards, Yann (talk) 12:11, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I understand. Thanks. --Sambasoccer27 (talk) 15:16, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
