Russia FOP nominations

[edit]

Here I am nominating multiple statues, as they are all derivative works of non-public domain material. As there is no FOP in Russia, we must consider these works to be the copyright of the sculptor. I nominated all these separately before, but for convenience sake, and at the request of an editor, I'm combining them. Magog the Ogre (talk) 00:26, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To all of the following deletion requests by user:Magog the Ogre: IMO, this Magog is some sort of wikitroll. If we follow completely that criteria of deletion which Magog offered, we should almost completely delete content of such categories as Category:Monuments_and_memorials_in_Moscow, Category:Statues in Moscow, Category:Monuments and memorials in Russia, Category:Statues in Russia and lots of others. Because most of the photos of monuments and statues in Russia meet that criteria. None of the administrators raised a claim to these photos for years, but suddenly some man intended to clear Wiki from illustrations.

Would we dare to start this deletion? Скампецкий (talk) 11:13, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No; because any work created by an author who's been dead for 70 years can go into those categories. I'm sorry; I don't see how calling me a troll is in any way, shape, or form addressing the copyright issue. We don't just host images on commons because we like them; we host them because they're veritably free. I don't like the rules either, but I follow them; I suggest you write a letter to Mr. Putin expressing your displeasure as a voter if you'd like to see a change (no, really, I actually suggest you write that letter! Enough of us with a voice can make a difference). Magog the Ogre (talk) 12:47, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
According to the Overview of the judicial practice of the Supreme Court of Russia for the 1st quarter of 2008[ru],
"A photographic work created with using architectural and sculptural works stationed in parks, streets and other places accessible to the general public shall constitute a separate object of copyright."
Original text (ru): Фотографическое изображение, созданное с использованием произведений архитектуры и скульптуры, расположенных в парках, на улицах и других местах, доступных для неопределенного круга лиц, является самостоятельным объектом авторского права.

See COM:FOP#Russia which appears to address that. Magog the Ogre (talk) 19:34, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Its in use on some Wikipedias that have FOP. Transfer it to them first. -- 178.190.194.133 15:37, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The item COM:FOP#Russia is under discussion as currently there is no certain law against FOP in Russia. This question was raised in WikiCommon community some time ago and people decided to postpone it till new russion law on copyright enter in force. User Magog the Ogre is seems to be in a hurry. --Vissarion (talk) 07:59, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
FOP is an exception to the copyright law. It's quite strange to assume that an exception exists by default if there is no law against that exception. Jcb (talk) 15:57, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep due to this decision. Скампецкий (talk) 09:15, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: - except one, for being DM, subject of File:Rostov_Obl_Adm.JPG seems to be the building - Jcb (talk) 15:58, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
