Can someone please restore this photos? Their license is valid and they had watermark (see gallery), likely someone cropped it and then nominator wrongly assumed that their licence is dubious. --Orijentolog (talk) 20:58, 29 November 2024 (UTC)


✓ Done: IIRC, we've long held that the watermark and "photo : Tasnimnews" are enough for that license, even without a named photographer, so these are okay. --The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 10:36, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

User:LeoBlanchette Undelete it.

Feel free to make any changes needed to make it fit WikiMedia.

These are very old images and have gone around the internet and are now somewhat historic.

I saw the link leading to the author page and filled it in. Change it however you see fit.

Thank you,

Provided explanation to placing the file and providing also the confirmation, but email to address displayed on Wikipedia (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org) returned as undeliverable. When asking any support, no feedback received and picture deleted ignoring the troubles. Therefore reuploaded the same picture with different filename and providing the permission again, deleted again. No communication or explanation, a picture used alseady in another webpage, I'm losing my illusions about the seriousness and professionalism of Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FrgalOlomouc (talk • contribs) 07:38, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

@FrgalOlomouc: check if the address you are sending to is correct, or if your email server is configured correctly.

It was deleted by Krd for the reason "no license" but, according to the discussion at Commons:Bistro, it did have a Cc-zero template (which may not be a license, strictly speaking, but still a status tag). The uploader, specialized in the field of such industrial objects, says that the image is his own work. That sounds believable. If someone has a reason to dispute it, a deletion request can be started with an explanation. -- Asclepias (talk) 00:52, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi,

The file I uploaded was deleted, and the reason given was that the owner of the photo is the XYZ.pl portal (in reference to the article: https://xyz.pl/andrzej-kozlowski-odchodzi-ze-stanowiska-prezesa-emitela-przed-nim-kolejne-wyzwanie-zawodowe/).

However, this is not true, I am a representative of the company that commissioned the photo, owns it and I have the authorization to publish it, among others in the structures of Wikipedia.

The photo was uploaded to the XYZ portal (alleged by the owner's algorithm) also by my company.

Please restore the file in order to illustrate the note about the person shown in the photo.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wojciech.szczesny.10.10 (talk • contribs) 10:26, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

The deleted file meets the fair use requirements of Lithuanian Wikipedia (lt:Vikipedija:Fairuse) so I request temporary undeletion in order to transfer it there. For the same reason also please undelete these images:

This photo depicts a notable journalist and activist who has made a significant impact on society. The image is being uploaded to Wikimedia Commons to ensure it can be included in a related Wikipedia article. The subject of the photo is a liberal advocate, recognized for his extensive activism across social, environmental, political, humanitarian, and wildlife issues. Despite his remarkable contributions, he lacks government support or acknowledgment, likely due to his outspoken criticism of governmental policies. Consequently, there are limited public records or articles documenting his achievements. Including this photo in the Wikipedia article is crucial to visually represent his importance and provide a more comprehensive understanding of his life and work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zhewar H.

Hi everyone. I'm writing here in order to ask for the undeletion of File:Ercole Drei, Il lavoro dei campi.jpg, deleted in 2014 after this DR. The image depicts a stele made by en:Ercole Drei as part of the agriculture pavillion of the planned Universal Exposition of 1942 (see here and here). As we can read here, all the buildings of the planned Exposition were commissioned by a public entity, the it:EUR (azienda) (way before its privatization in 2000). The agriculture pavillion was no exception, and therefore, all the external decorations, which had been finished by 1942, fell under Template:PD-ItalyGov in 1963 (way before the URAA, so no issue with US copyright). The rest of the agriculture pavillion remained unfinished because of the war, and its remnants were destroyed in the 1950's. The already completed external decorations were placed in a public park where they still are today.--Friniate (talk) 16:56, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello,

Can you restore the following photo of journalist Nicolas Martin : File:Nicolas Martin selfie.jpg ?

This picture was deleted because of "Copyright violation, found elsewhere on the web (on bougerabordeaux)and unlikely to be own work".

Nicolas Martin confirmed in this post on Bluesky that he uploaded this picture. He confirmed also that this is also his own work.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards

--Pronoia (talk) 17:29, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

 Comment the image was uploaded by Au diable vauvert (talk · contribs), a user with other obvious copyvios, so the deletion was justified imho. Notice also that in BlueSky he claims he uploaded it several times, so it seems he is also using sockpuppets as Au diable vauvert uploaded it only once. Günther Frager (talk) 17:57, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
@Günther Frager: Thanks for your answer. I'm not sure he's aware of the concept of sockpuppet on Wikimedia.
In conclusion, what is the best thing to do in this case? Should he create a Nicolas Martin account (with his real name) and upload this image with this account ? Or something else? Thank you in advance.----Pronoia (talk) 18:21, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
@Pronoia: in general when a photo is deleted because it is available on the web, the copyright holder (usually the photographer) should send a permission following the instruction in COM:VRT That was indicated in the notification that Au diable vauvert received. Now, some admins might consider the message in BlueSky as a valid reason for undeletion. Günther Frager (talk) 18:38, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
Not done. The image will be undeleted if properly processed and accepted by VRTS. Thuresson (talk) 17:57, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

No consensus was reached before the unilateral deletion, and The Squirrel Conspiracy did not respond to a counterargument. The file was massively COM:INUSE before this was made, and there are a bunch of empty spaces on pages. If this is decided to be copywritten, then I'd at least like it undeleted and uploaded directly to Wikipedia, although no actual alleged copyright was established. NorthTension (talk) 00:23, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose I redeleted this file. It was reuploaded after a discussion here: Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, and I don't see any reason to keep it. Yann (talk) 07:43, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
Do you have any elaboration or is that it. NorthTension (talk) 10:15, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
In between it was transferred to :en to be used under fair-use (= unfree), which is not compatible with having it remain here on Commons. --Túrelio (talk) 07:45, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
Genuinely asking but where is that, I want to put it back on the Wiki page but I'm uncertain as to where the file actually is right now. NorthTension (talk) 10:17, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
You need to ask User:AntiCompositeNumber, who had left a remark about that in his undeletion-log of the file. --Túrelio (talk) 10:28, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
Ok, the way you worded it made it sound like it was already moved. NorthTension (talk) 14:45, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose The presence of other files that might also be copyright violations is not a valid argument for keeping one that IMO certainly is. Deliberate artistic choices were made in creating that logo (in converting the text into a circular form). That makes it copyrightable. And COM:INUSE doesn't apply to copyvio deletions, only to scope considerations. Also, I'd have appreciated a ping here, folks. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 20:38, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
