File:Artifex.jpg

The Artifex label is no longer in business and has not been for over 15 years. The trademark is not being used or planning on being used, therefore the logo should fall under fair use, as it describes a past event. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.164.63.238 (talk) 15:52, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

@216.164.63.238: No. The logo for Artifex Records was designed ca. 1991, when the business started in the U. S. The copyright to that logo is still held by the designer, or its heir, successor, or assign, until 70 years after the year of the designer's death, and it has been deemed above the U. S. Threshhold of Originality. The logo could be reuploaded to English Wikipedia under fair use until that time. We don't do fair use here.   — Jeff G. ツ 16:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

File:T32Nr1.jpg

This photo was originally taken by US Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) as part of official duties in 1946. According to The Copyright Act of 1976, I believe it is not protected by copyright.--Medalofdead (talk) 22:45, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Medalofdead, in the file description you said that the source was: "Hunnicutt, R. P., & Dyer, D. P. (1988). Firepower: a history of the American heavy tank. Novato, CA: Presidio." The book presumably has an explicit copyright notice. As noted in the deletion comment, it appears on Flickr as (c) All Rights Reserved. There is nothing in the file description that says that this is an Army image. Such images are often taken by the manufacturer. It is up to you to prove that it is an Army image. .     Jim . . .

File:北京大學力學專業流體力學班畢業合影 1957年8月.jpg

I'd like to have "北京大學力學專業流體力學班畢業合影 1957年8月.jpg" undeleted. It was the graduation picture token in August 1957. I found it in my parent's albums. Both of my parents are in the picture. I have no idea who took the picture. It must be arranged by Peking University.

Please let me know your decision.

File:Detail of Mrs Mounter at the Breakfast Table, 1917 - showing closeness of actual tones.jpg

Hi

I uploaded my own photograph without realising I needed to issue the release document. I have now done this for this file:

I have since added this to common source wiki documents.

The licence for the full picture is already covered for the Wiki page by the following message:

Licensing[edit] This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason: Public domain The author died in 1919, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 95 years or less.

I took the photograph of this painting so I am able to sign the license for this to be open use.

Thank you for your help

Undeleted some files uploaded by Vpe

Hello,
I work essentially on the project of Montpellier and I live in the same city.
Is it possible to restore files that were erased too quickly ?

I've open a request (in french) for a same situation with this file : "Affiches électorales 2012.JPG". In France, in a electoral period, it's a biggest moment and this image is representative for the posters in a public domain.
I am in the process for update the file, but all images are not in Commons and the links with the pages that are used this file are broken. I just need an access to copy the links with the pages of the different projects.
I've geolocated this file "Église Saint-Marc" but my changes are't update ! This file complies with the rules of Commons.
This file is the only one that is not distorted after the restoration of the historical monument. The file is small but the photograph is unique.
The file is unique to Montpellier and there are only three files in the category : Radomes in France. It would be a shame to delete a file that complies with the rules of Commons.
I've also geolocated this file but my changes are't update. I take photos regularly from the city but there is already so much work to do in categories before dropping files.
For these four files, we do not yet have an equivalent on Commons (Patrimoine de l'Université Montpellier I (sorry, in french) ).
I've also geolocated this file but... no update of my changes.
It is the only file of this church that we have for the village of Satillieu (in french because he's too poor in English). Why remove the file from a church ?

Thank you in advance if this restoration can be possible ! —— DePlusJean (talk) 14:16, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi,
Could you please upload the original unmodified images (except the election posters)? (Message in French to the contributor's talk page). Yann (talk) 14:25, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
Bonsoir @Yann, je me suis permis de vous répondre sur ma pdd.
Cordialement, —— DePlusJean (talk) 17:13, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
File:Affiches presidentielles 2017.jpg cannot be restored because it is a derivative work of non-free campaign posters, and there is no freedom of panorama in France. So even if you took the photo, you're not allowed to publish it without consent from the copyright holders of the posters.
File:Montpellier montage couv.jpg: did you take all these individual photographs yourself? If so, please upload them all separately in original resolution including the EXIF metadata. Otherwise, please tell us which freely licensed images you used to created this montage. De728631 (talk) 14:37, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
Thank you @De728631 for your quick reply and for the information provided.
  • For the file Affiches presidentielles 2017.jpg : During elections, posting is allowed on the public domain (In accordance with the Environmental Code (articles L.581-13, R.581-2 et R.581-3)). The photo was taken in the street, for a display during the election period of 2017 (Category with 27 files) and for validated candidates. I think that this photo is in agreement with a freedom of panorama, derivative works and respects French law.
  • Unfortunately, no. There is no freedom of panorama in France, and the posters are under a copyright, even if displayed on public places. Yann (talk) 00:22, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

STATE FOR REASON FOR UNDELETION OF THIS FILE

this file is under the property of philippine military band and is aquired by AFP Orchestra Records Office, they stated that all of the marches uploaded in wikimedia commons is under protected and recorded by the AFP they upload it first in youtube so that's why "we" put the sources in youtube. we dont know that it is forbidden to use from youtube so we request all the AFP marches that uploaded here is under our protection..and some of our choir officers doesnt know to use computer so that's why i help them to uploaded here. i dont know also that you have many exemptions in uploading this file..i knew its "free encyclopedia".

STATE FOR THE REASON TO UNDELETE THIS FILE

this is the continuation in my first undeletion request and also requested by the chief of staff of the armed forces of the philippines general eduardo año for purpose of research of some students because they want to know what is the official armed forces march of the philippines. like the u.s has a armed forces medley, the chief of staff also wants their own version because it was surveyed in philippines that listening in patriotic march like this 2 they are being proud and have a goosebumps that they feel when they listen to this kind of military march. so we beg for undeletion of this file/s

File:Banyule_Football_Club_Jumper1.png

I also request that these files that I uploaded to the Northern Football League Wikipedia Page be undeleted;

Reasons: These images were drawn by me on Microsoft Paint and therefore not official pictures that were created by the football clubs involved and not under copyright, they can be free to be used anywhere on the internet. It is already common for the jumper designs of football clubs to be uploaded to Wikipedia - for example, if you look at the Goulburn Valley Football League and the Central Murray Football League Wikipedia pages, they have pictures of the jumper design of all of their clubs. The pictures I uploaded completed the missing jumper designs from my league, bringing the Northern Football League Wikipedia Page close to completion and accuracy. The only difference I can see between the jumper designs on the other Wikipedia pages and my own, it is that mine have the Northern Football League Logo on the jumper design. If this is what the issue was, I will remove it and reload the images. I believe that the addition of the jumper designs for teams in the Northern Football League Wikipedia Page adds interest for anyone reading the page.

Thankyou,

--Dpeters1980 (talk) 12:30, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose This is a common problem. If the designs closely copy the club designs, then they are derivative works and therefore copyright violations. If they do not closely copy the club descigns, then they are your personal art and not useful. Either way, they cannot be kept. .     Jim . . .

Dutch spoken articles

See also Matthijs van Nieuwkerk.ogg, which has been restored for the same reason. Wikiwerner (talk) 17:55, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

These were deleted in 2013 for missing licenses. Which is the copyright status of a reading of a Wikipedia article? Thuresson (talk) 22:13, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
It is public domain: see File:Nl-Matthijs van Nieuwkerk-article.ogg, which was deleted for the same reason, and had been restored recently. Wikiwerner (talk) 20:43, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
Public Domain cannot be correct. The recordings are derivative work of a CC-BY-SA 3.0 Wikipedia article. The license of the recording should be CC-BY-SA 3.0 as well. Jcb (talk) 21:13, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
The recordings itself don't add a new copyright. Natuur12 (talk) 21:25, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
I disagree, there is clearly some original authorship in the recording. But due to the license of the article, the recording must have the same license. To satisfy the license requirements, the person who made the recording has to be attributed for making the recording. Jcb (talk) 21:44, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
If a back seat conversation isn't copyrighted, why would readin a text generate a copyright? Natuur12 (talk) 21:47, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
A back seat conversation may be on the edge, but for a recording of a Wikipedia article it's quite obvious that there is original authorship. You make choices e.g. in intonation, speed, how to read non-proza parts. But fortunately this whole discussion is hardly relevant for these recordings, because the license is already obvious, and the user who made the recording is attributed correctly if they use our standard templates. Jcb (talk) 22:20, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
Even if there were no copyright in the intonation of the recording, it has to be copyrighted because it is just another form of publishing the original text. So the CC licence of the Wikipedia text has to be reflected. For the same reasons, audiobooks are not automatically PD either, but if the text is copyrighted, the reading is copyrighted too. De728631 (talk) 16:17, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
Yes, we agree on that. I expressed myself a bit sloppy. Natuur12 (talk) 16:55, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Reason: I find these picture in google search that linked to Wikipedia, these 3 picture taken around 2005 or 06 is with reasonable photo size (654 × 472/ 1024x768) but i don't know is it have any exif data and the upload date.

Wpcpey (talk) 01:53, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

  •  Oppose: there is doubt whether these images are free. If the uploader really took these photos I don't see the reason why they have to go the extra mile to scale the sizes down and remove the EXIF deliberately. On the contrary, an image with low resolution and without EXIF is often a strong indication that it is taken from somewhere else. --Wcam (talk) 15:20, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
First, it should ask people check these 3 file again, to ensure that is it have any exif data. Secondly, I guess it may have some reasons to let the uploader scale the sizes down, such as the storage is not enough when the people to take the picture (during that time only have 32MB/64MB memory card, it only set 640x480 or 1024x768 if they want to have more space to take the picture) the computer storage may not enough also. Use old version ACDsee save the picture may also remove the exif data....

btw...these picture can be "historical picture" also, since it have been removed during the Ho Man Tin Station construction around 2012.--Wpcpey (talk) 16:22, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

File:HSG_Uni_Rostock_Stierlogo.png

The File HSG_Uni_Rostock_Stierlogo was made by myself, as the administrator of the website www.hsgunirostock.de. I apply for the restoration of the image. — Preceding unsigned comment added by S platty (talk • contribs) 06:51, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose If in fact the logo is that of an organization, then restoring it to Commons will require that an authorized official of the organization send a free license using OTRS. If it is not the logo of an organization, then it is personal art and is out of scope. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 09:13, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose The organisation itself wouldn't be in a position to grant a free licence because copyright can't be transferred at all under German law, so OTRS would have to come from the original artist. Anyhow, it is the logo of an insignificant university sports team, so out of scope. De728631 (talk) 15:19, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

File:Charlie Vasquez and Nahshon Anderson.jpg

I would like to request this be undeleted. The photo is of me (Nahshon Anderson) and Charlie Vasquez. I owe this photo and it was taken on my camera during one of the Bronx Council of the Art Writing Workshop. These Writing Workshops were open to the public. I sent this photo into Wikipedia commons with the appropriate licensing agreement. This being my photo and being taken at a public event I believe its deletion was a mistake. Please let me know what steps I need to take to restore this photo. Shootingrange1997 (talk) 16:52, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose This is not how copyright works. Even if the photo was taken with your camera and you own the data file, copyright rests with the person that actually took the photo, i.e. the photographer who decided on range and focus and eventually clicked the release button. Since you are depicted in the photo it is rather unlikely that you are also the photographer, so we need a permission from the original photographer. De728631 (talk) 20:33, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

File:Sherman with paddle wheel cropped.jpg

I was asked to take a look at this DR on IRC.

The image was originally uploaded to the English Wikipedia in 2008, and then transferred to Commons on April 24th. At the time of the original upload, a pdf copy of an email granting permission under the GFDL was uploaded to enwiki, and then deleted there as not in scope. I contacted an enwiki administrator, who opened an OTRS ticket (ticket:2017050310002835) with a copy of the pdf.

The original source url for the image was stated in the pdf, and was first crawled by the Wayback Machine in 2001... the name and email address on that page match the one in the pdf. I sent an email to that address through the OTRS system, and received a response back verifying that the author did, and still does, grant permission... the image should thus be undeleted, and marked with {{GFDL|migration=relicense}} and the OTRS ticket.

Yann, TwoWings, Daphne, Tuvalkin. I think Natuur12 has a valid question here. Our summary at Commons:Freedom_of_panorama#Portugal quotes section 75(2)q. Section 75 is the correct section for exceptions to copyright, but both the English and the Portuguese versions of the law at WIPO do not have a 75(2) and section 75 goes only to subsection i. (see http://www.wipo.int/wipolex/en/text.jsp?file_id=129418#JD_PT012E_A7) Is it possible that our summary is very wrong? Seems unlikely but the alternative is to believe that WIPO dropped a chunk of text out of the law? .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 19:59, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

File:Certificate to Andy Gregory last lighthouse keeper at Cape Bruny Lightstation.jpg

Reason for undeletion:

This image belongs to my stepfather, The original certificate was given to him by AMSA Australia in recognition of his long and dedicated service in the Australian Lighthouse Service. This image was a photo of said certificate, and he has given me permission to post it online so that it is available online to post on facebook, and other sites. The image contains the AMSA logo, but the certificate belongs to my stepfather Andy Gregory, and as such is not the property of AMSA and therefore not the copyright holder.

I feel this image was incorrectly deleted given its importance to my stepfather in maintaining the recognition of his service.

Kind Regards,

Caine Barlow, 05/05/2017

CaineBarlow (talk) 03:57, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose In almost all cases, the owner of a physical work is not the copyright holder -- that almost always remains with the creator. Therefore your argument that because your stepfather owns the certificate, he has the right to freely license it, is incorrect. The background of the whole certificate is a photograph, which has a copyright. The text and logo may or may not have a copyright. The copyrights belong to the Australian government whose copyright lasts fifty years -- in this case, until 1/1/2047.

Unfortunately, the fact that the work is not freely licensed overrides the importance of the document. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:11, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Resolved
I just wrote to this person by email with further guidance on emailing OTRS. That resolves this matter for now. Blue Rasberry (talk) 16:23, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
At ticket:2017041810014761 the user made a copyright release for these images. I cannot see the images but here are their names -
These can go into Category:Panasqueira Mines.
Can someone else process the undeletion at least temporarily, if not the entire ticket? Blue Rasberry (talk) 17:11, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose No. Making a request here does not allow uploaders to jump the long OTRS queue. These images must wait their turn.     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:22, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Jameslwoodward It was not my intention that anyone should jump the queue, but that is what I incorrectly did and I apologize for the sake of those waiting. At this point, could we make this an instructional experience so that I learn the correct way and share the information with others? Suppose that I did come to this request in the OTRS queue - what is the correct process for a non-admin like me? Should I as a non-admin not touch the ticket, or request undeletion to examine them, or what would you advise? Blue Rasberry (talk) 18:41, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
Sorry if I came on a little strong above -- the length of the OTRS queue makes me unhappy and I don't always deal with it well.
When you process the OTRS queue in the routine way, oldest first, then you can and should bring those that deserve it here for restoration. That will usually be done routinely. If you have any doubts, you can list out the files included in the e-mail and ask that an Admin look them over.
It's not a bad idea to check the reason for deletion. An OTRS license will not allow restoration of a file that is out of scope, such as this uploader's File:Produção mineira histórica.jpg, mentioned above, which is an image of a table which should be set in Wiki markup. .     Jim . . .

Files uploaded by MARTA MANCINICons

Mostly scans of photos over a century old. Except one, they all had date/description and sufficient author information, plus a copyright tag. Blatant deletion mistake. Nemo 06:35, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose I disagree. As they stand they could not be kept and the DR was open for a month without the uploader fixing them.

In several cases I looked at, it would be easy to determine the author and, probably, his date of death, that should have been done before upload. The uploader certainly cannot claim "own work" for any of these, as was done without source in several cases. Come back with this request one by one with the necessary information supplied, and we can restore them -- but not en masse. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:29, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

 Support Some of them already contains required licensing information so they should never be deleted while procession this DR. In some cases the information may be incomplete or incorrect (eg. PD-anon-EU template for a US work), but this was not raised in the DR. As per above oppose, I suggest reopening the DR and continue dispute there. Ankry (talk) 19:54, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Again, the uploader had a full month to deal with the various problems and made no effort to do so. I don't see that opening an unwieldy DR solves anything. If you have any specific files that you think should be restored, please list them and the community will consider them, but my look over the list suggests that the bulk of them cannot be kept as they are now. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:01, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
@Jameslwoodward: Note, that:
  1. the UDR request is not from the uploader; so any requirements directed to the uploader are irrelevant here
  2. most of the images already had proper copyright info fixed before they were deleted; so the deletion in the DR process was not correct, IMO. I have restored them: feel free to re-nominate for deletion (en masse, or one-by-one) if you wish
  3. we are all volunteers so we cannot require a specific user will respond in a specified period of time; we should be able to deal with such cases even if the uploader did not respond
  4. assumption that we can delete any image because its uploader did not respond is not the right way, IMO
  5. for few remaining images you are right: more information is required (@Nemo bis: eg. the death date of G[iovanni] Gussoni from Milano) to resolve their copyright status.
I think, we can close this case. Or anything else can be done/said here? Ankry (talk) 21:01, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
It is entirely out of process for you to restore these images when there are only two opposing comments on the UnDR. I suggest you redelete them and wait until there is more support for your side of this discussion. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:20, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose - none of them had a valid license, the files with a license only had a US PD rationale, and no license on the source country - Jcb (talk) 22:03, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

New York seems to be located in US. What source country rationale is expected then?
Anonymous-EU is a valid Italian copyright tag when no author/publisher info is provided on the work itself. (work = diploma form; the written text is purely informative and so not eligible for copyright); AFAIK, in some countries such diplomas can be considered "official documents", not eligible for copyright, but unsure about Italy here.
Italian diplomas with author/publisher info remain deleted. Ankry (talk) 23:56, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
The diplomas are clearly above TOO, so eligible for copyright. Also several pictures of people are involved. To use Anonymous-EU, you have to show that the author actually published the work without disclosing his identity. This is completely different from 'we at Commons do not know the name of the author'. Jcb (talk) 00:02, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
@Jcb: Indeed, clear copyright mark: "Mishkin Studio, New York", "(C) H. Mishkin, N.Y." and clearly pre-1923 published. Why they needed to be deleted? Ankry (talk) 00:14, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
None of the images seems to origin from the US, so it's not sufficient to only deal with the US copyright situation. (I wrote that earlier, as you can see a few lines above). Jcb (talk) 00:25, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
False asumption. "Boston Conservatory of Music" is probably a Russian school. And two photos were created in New York near Rome. They were photographed in Italy, but it is irrelevant for definition of their country of origin. Some works are Italian, one is definitely German (also PD) and at least three are US. Ankry (talk) 00:36, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
I am sorry, but what you write is very difficult to understand and very vague. E.g. what is "created in New York near Rome" suppose to mean? And claims like "one is definitely German (also PD)" should come with a file name and a PD rationale. Jcb (talk) 00:54, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
@Jcb: This means that you deleted images with valid author/copyright information without even looking at them. Ankry (talk) 08:40, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
Boston Conservatory of Music is here. This and this images have clear copyright mark from a New York photographer. How did you find them to be non-US works? this has clear authorship of a German photographer (death date unknown, but active since 1864, so PD-old-assumed is an appropriate rationale). And recent deletion reason is clearly fake for them.
Regarding File:Agide Jacchia 04.jpg, the same photo-card has been published under a CC-by-4 licence by Deutsche Fotothek, so we could either restore this one accordingly or upload the Fotothek image.

File:Robert Cena 1863-1945.jpg

"The source for this photograph has now been determined. This photograph has been published on page 92 of the book by Adam Serdeczny, “Morawsko od czasów starożytnych do końca XX wieku”, Jarosław 2006, ISBN 83-86697-63-6 – already cited in the original biographical note Robert Cena. It is argued that the photograph of a known source may now be attributed a free licence due to its age (PD-Polish: above 70 years). If this fulfils the licensing requirements, the request to delete is hereby withdrawn. Regards Henry39 (talk) 23:15, 21 March 2017 (UTC)" per this edit.   — Jeff G. ツ 06:48, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

  • Some additional information that the discussants might find useful.

Robert Cena was in the last years of XIX century an important leader and deputy representing the Agrarian-Christian Party from the Polish part of Austria in the then Imperial Austrian parliament in Wien. Since 1900, this area (Jarosław, now in the South-Eastern corner of Poland) suffered two world wars and was invaded by Russians, then Germans, and Russians again. It is now (partly only) a part of Poland as it always was before the troubled years. There are very few archives left and available. The Polish archives (the Jagiellonian Library in Cracow in particular) are incomplete. Moreover, there are no successors to the XIX century photographers or publishers. Hence, it is practically impossible to locate the original source of the Robert Cena’s photograph. However, we know a lot about the image. First, it shows Robert as a young man, taken presumably at the peak of his political career. It means that the photo is about 120 years old. Second, the photo published by the local historian Adam Serdeczny (mentioned above) was already a rather poor copy/scan from, it may be assumed, some printed material and it was/is not one of those formal XIX century portraits produced in a photography atelier. Third, the image is that of Robert Cena, as we have the evidence from Adam Serdeczny himself and it agrees with a detailed facial description in an article in newspaper Cracow Daily (30 March 1897) giving the news of Robert’s election. The description, in Polish, is presented in full in reference No. 6 in Robert Cena in the Polish Wikipedia. Adam Serdeczny, the local teacher/historian has passed away (in 2009). Robert Cena biograms have already been written and published independently in both the Czech and the Polish Wikipedias. Regards - Henry39 (talk) 11:43, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose Unfortunately, the Polish law is that the image remains copyrighted for 70 years after the death of the author. Although 120 years is a long time, it is not long enough for us to be able to assume that the author died at least 70 years ago -- he could easily have lived for 50 years after taking the picture.
If the author is unknown, then the copyright lasts for 70 years from the date of first publication, As far as we now know that was the 2006 work mentioned above, so that doesn't help. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:17, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

File:ErosPyramide20090221 352.jpg

This file and other equivalent ErosPyramide files have always been kept because all DRs concluded that there was no reason to delete files showing a pornographic show. As any subject, pornographic shows are encyclopedic subjects, i.e. in scope. But for some reason, this one has been deleted because it "is not useful for education purposes" ??? And why that ? Should we start to delete all files with such a topic ?! --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 07:59, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose per closure of the DR. The bare fact that this picture shows nude people does not make it in scope. If those people would have been clothed, the picture would probably be deleted for a reason like 'unused personal picture'. In the DR you tried to relate the nomination to censorship, which has nothing to do with the deletion. If a picture of people is useless for educational purposes, we delete it. No matter whether the depicted people are dressed or naked. Jcb (talk) 08:21, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
You don't understand. You say "no educational purpose" but you don't explain why. Be coherent : if you say this file was not in scope, you mean that all ErosPyramide files (and maybe all other files showing a pornographic show) are not in scope. Thus you don't respect the fact that such subjects may be illustrated, per COM:CENSORSHIP. For this file, there was a first DR and it was kept exactly because of those reasons. A second DR had been launched and it brought no new arguments. All the other previous DRs about such files have always been closed as kept : Commons:Deletion requests/File:ErosPyramide20090221 243.jpg, Commons:Deletion requests/File:ErosPyramide20090221 439a.jpg, Commons:Deletion requests/File:ErosPyramide20090221 440.jpg, Commons:Deletion requests/File:ErosPyramide20110218 1098 Christina Bella & Mya Diamond.jpg, Commons:Deletion requests/File:ErosPyramide20090221 442.jpg, Commons:Deletion requests/File:ErosPyramide20090221 422.jpg, Commons:Deletion requests/File:ErosPyramide20090221 426.jpg, Commons:Deletion requests/File:ErosPyramide20090221 445.jpg, Commons:Deletion requests/File:ErosPyramide20110218 1088 Christina Bella.jpg, Commons:Deletion requests/File:ErosPyramide20090221 344.jpg.

Weak  undelete. Educational value exists for illustrating pornographic shows, but as quality is not as good as other mentioned photos have, only weak support. Taivo (talk) 09:58, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
@Taivo: It's not particularly good nor very bad, as far as quality is concerned. And I don't find it particularly worse than any other file in the Category:Pornographic shows... --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 11:16, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
@TwoWings: No, I did not say or mean anything about other files from the same source. I just deleted this particular file, because I consider this particular file out of scope. Please don't confuse the processes all the time by responding with unrelated and irrelevant comments. Jcb (talk) 10:33, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
Unrelated and irrelevant comments ? Do we speak about the fact that you accused me of being out of subject when I spoke about censorship in the DR ? Actually I wrote "censorship" in the first one. And you seem unaware that both Fixpol and Saadbl have launched DRs with moral purposes. So yes, it was about censorship. The funny thing is, Fixpol launched the first DR with the comment "Not educationally useful" and Green Giant kept the file, then Saadbl added the comment "inappropriate content"... and you closed it as "deleted" by repeting Fixpol's pseudo-argument which really meant "don't propose sexual topics on Commons" (it meant that for Fixpol).
But again, you give absolutely no explanation about the fact that you consider "this particular file" (NB : available here for those who are not admins) as out of scope and non-educational but not the other ErosPyramide files ! Why wouldn't it be educational to illustrate a pornographic show or lesbian cunnilingus with "this particular file" ? What are the concrete arguments ? --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 11:13, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

 Undelete I have been pinged and asked for my opinion by TwoWings further up this discussion. I take a disinterested view because I'm neither interested in this or similar photos nor do I particularly recall much of my thought process for the earlier DR. However, Commons has a broad interpretation of COM:EDUSE in that it certainly is not restricted to a narrow viewpoint. In my own opinion "educational" means providing useful information that adds to the knowledge of users. Some of us might disagree with the "education" that this particular photo provides but I can see that it does indeed have an educational element. The photo was taken during a show by these two people, presumably in a legally permitted environment. They quite clearly appear to be consenting adults.. If this photo had been taken in a private room with one of them being forced to do this, I could see an argument for challenging the educational value. The point of the shows is to cast illumination on a group of activities that are not the usual subject of schools or coffee shops etc. It is not necessarily a topic that some will find appropriate but it is this very question of appropriateness that appears to have inspired the latest DR. In contrast I would argue the "knives are dangerous" principle in that it is quite obvious that most knives are sharp and can cause immense damage in the wrong hands. However, a knife in the hands of a skilled chef can contribute to excellent food. Would it be right for us to ban photos of knives on the grounds that they might encourage others to commit knife-related crimes? In the same way, the photo herevshould be kept separate from the morality of what use end users might or might not put the photo to. If we want to engage in a discussion on the merits of all similar photos, then that would be legitimately done at the Village Pump but not this piecemeal approach. Indeed TwoWings asks the cogent question of why this one and not entire category? In the nominators defence I note that they are a new user here but have been editing elsewhere for some months. I can only recommend that you should always check the talk page first and go to relevant user talk pages to raise the issues there first. Of course some of us still struggle with this concept even after years of editing. So yes, let's undelete this photo and if people feel strongly about the issues raised in the DR's and this undeletion request, then please start a discussion at the VP. Green Giant (talk) 14:59, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

  • Weak  Support per nom and Green Giant. This file has an educational purpose, to educate photographers in how NOT to shoot cunnilingus: if the lens can't see the tongue or lips, one could shoot it better with a different angle.   — Jeff G. ツ 21:20, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I'm with Jcb on this one. Sorry but this is grabadge. Porno with no educational value. Natuur12 (talk) 23:07, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
    @Natuur12: Then let's delete all files about porn shows because they're all of the same quality. And it doesn't matter if we don't illustrate a sex topic, right ? (irony of course). --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 08:25, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
    Please refrain from using obvious logical fallacy since it's rather annoying. If you can find files that have an equally bad quality or an even worse quality. Please nominate those files for deletion. Because the quality is bad and the composition is bad (merely some snap shot) this file is not suitable for most legitimate usage like Wikipedia articles, books, publications etc. What is left are some obscure blogs that might be interested in material like this. Perhaps educational for some people but that kind of "educational usage" has little to do with spreading free knowledge. Natuur12 (talk) 08:56, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
    @Natuur12: It's not fallacy. For any subject, we keep bad quality pictures whe we don't have better files. Since we don't really have good quality pictures about porn shows, we do keep those bad quality pictures until we don't have better files. This is what we do for everything, why wouldn't we behave like that for such a topic ? Maybe just because it's about sex. As usual. --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 09:31, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
    You were using a straw man. Perhaps I was a bit confusing when I said logical fallacy instead off informal fallacy. Currently can't search for better quality files. (Non safe for college and all.) Natuur12 (talk) 09:39, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
    It's not only the fact that we have other files about the same subject and with the same quality : many of those files had been kept prior to that DR closure (including the same file once). I can't stand the lack of coherence. And I can't stand the fact that, whatever can be read here and elsewhere, topics such as nudity and sex are never dealt equally compared to other subjects (I don't say there's always censorship, I just see it as a fact). --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 11:04, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
    I aim to judge these files in the same way as files from other subjects. I have e.g. deleted many low quality pictures of random landscapes. Jcb (talk) 16:30, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
    The quality of that file is not that bad. I don't get it. All other equivalent files have been kept, even that file once, until you decided that this one needed to be treated differently. I really don't get that lack of coherence. --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 19:13, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
  •  Oppose If this actually showed oral sex being performed, there would be educational value. As it is, no sex act can be seen, and so I don't think it lives up to COM:EDUSE and should not be restored. Daphne Lantier 07:41, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
    @Daphne Lantier: The main subject is a porn show, not the cunnilingus. And I don't see how it doesn't illustrate this main topic. As written further, it's kind of difficult to imagine the photographer on stage during the show to have a better shot of the act. So yes, we've got better files about that sex act, but not so much about this act during a porn show. --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 08:25, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
  •  Support Per reasons stated in all previous deletion requests. The fact that in this last one two users voted to keep this files, per previous deletion requests that kept this file precisely for having educational purposes and so being in scope, and one administrator deleted merely saying "not useful for education purposes --> out of scope" without justifying is worrying.
The fact that this file and the others of the same subject have being kept counteless times, as stated by [[User:TwoWings|TwoWings]" per community and administrator decision and now one single administrator Jcb "decides" that this files is out of scope because it does not have educational purposes because it has no educational purposes, without giving any more explinations in a clear albeit short one and only deletes it but you don't explain why (only stating "This file is not useful for education purposes --> out of scope." and "a picture of people is useless for educational purposes, we delete it".
Well, Jcb, if you have the time to delete tons of files, will you care to take the time to explain why is this files out of scope, not merely stating it in 3 words, or your first statement on this undeletion request were you gave no answer as to why of your deletion? Or will you still refuse to give any explanation like in dozens of your hasty deletions, many of whom were undeleted, and so wasting everyones time? Tm (talk) 12:25, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
  •  Oppose per original DR closure. Image has no realistic educational value. It's just a poor quality photo of someone performing a sex act and you can't even see the act in question. Keep voters have not provided any real examples of what this photo would be useful for illustrating that we don't already have scads of better quality images for. Commons isn't a dump for all free license images. It's supposed to be a repository for useful images. Kaldari (talk) 02:23, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
    @Kaldari: "not provided any real examples of what this photo would be useful" ? We've said it many times : it illustrates a lesbian pornographic show. Yes we can't really see the act in question, which is normal : do you really think the photographer could go on stage during the public show ? And as far as the porn show topic is concerned, how would it be less useful than other files in the same cat ? For each subject, Commons give a diversity of files, but for some reason, when it comes to nudity and sexuality, we would need to choose. How do we choose what we keep in that case ? --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 08:20, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
    "Lesbian pornographic show" is not an example. Lesbian pornographic show would be an example if that were actually an article. An no, I'm not saying it has to be a Wikimedia-based example. Also, I completely disagree that this is biased for nudity and sexuality images. We delete images on a daily basis that are poor quality and already well covered on Commons. The most prevalent example being selfies. Kaldari (talk) 17:46, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
    What I said is that it's a lesbian illustration for the subject "pornographic show". And the quality of that file is not that bad. --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 19:13, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
  •  Comment When I see that this DR has been concluded as "kept", I really don't understand any coherence. The quality is far worse, we have already two other versions and other better equivalents. I honestly continue to think sex and nudity are not dealt with the same criterias of quality and usefulness. --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 11:27, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 Oppose Strong. Per opposers above /St1995 19:42, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

✓ Done: Personally, I find the quality of this photo to be rather bad and would have favored deletion. But a reasonable number of people think this photo is in scope, and for scope arguments, we should err on the side of keeping images. Also, I find the manner in which this photo was deleted, despite a previous "keep" and no new arguments worrying and displaying a showing lack of respect for other admins. --Sebari – aka Srittau (talk) 10:28, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

I am currently putting together a comprehensive wiki page about the Conklin Mountain house and wish to use File:Conklin Mountain House August 2013.jpg which is a Google Street View image of the house in the process of being painted in 2013.

Do I need to do more?

--Dracolique (talk) 17:27, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose There are significant restrictions on the use of Street View images, among them:

"You may print Content for non-commercial use...."
"You may not use the Content as a core part of printed navigational material (for example, tour books). "

(all taken from https://www.google.com/intl/ALL/permissions/geoguidelines.html) Commons requires that all images must be free for any use anywhere by anyone.

Bonjour,

Après une première suppression de ce fichier pour une prétendue violation de droit d'auteur, j'ai souhaité re-télécharger le même fichier en y apportant les sources attestant d'un travail personnel et qui prouve qu'il n'y a pas effectivement d'atteinte au droit d'auteur.

Ces fichiers ont été supprimés alors que se sont des oeuvres personnelles que j'ai créées. Les deux photographies ont été prises avec mon smartphone le lundi 10 avril, puis transférée via ma messagerie personnelle pour les importer sur la plateforme Commons.

The copyright holder of this image is the photographer, so you have to ask them to send a declaration of consent via email to the OTRS.

Reason: Why do you think freedom of panorama does not apply here? This work is installed at a public place in Germany permanently. I2017 (talk) 23:02, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

  • @Yann: I still don't understand. Does German FoP negate the all rights reserved copyright of Nickelodeon (a major TV network/company based in the USA)? How are these free in the USA? Daphne Lantier 19:43, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Until now, we apply the rule of the country of origin in case of FoP issues. For example, we accept pictures of recent sculptures taken in Germany. Pictures of the same sculptures in USA would not be acceptable. FoP in Germany includes permanent 2D art. This graffiti cannot move, so it should be accepted. Regards, Yann (talk) 21:51, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
  • @Yann: That makes it legal in Germany, but it's illegal in the USA. Files have to be free in the USA and the country of origin. If we restored these we would be violating the USA copyright of Nickelodeon on the Spongebob character. Daphne Lantier 22:24, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
  • We don't know how a FoP provision would play out in the United States. Obviously the copyright of the character is still valid, so if you try to use a crop of that photo such that the public context is basically gone, you would most likely have an issue. The question is how would a use of the photo itself -- which depicts the character in its public context -- be determined, if the law in the country of the sculpture etc. would matter. We don't have a precedent to point to (either way), so we have always allowed FoP pictures on Commons, even if the U.S. status is debatable. Otherwise, you are arguing to delete every FoP photo of a public sculpture, no matter the country, which still has a U.S. copyright. The {{Not-free-US-FOP}} template is often added in such cases, which pretty much states current policy. If the SpongeBob depiction itself was unauthorized, that could be more of an issue, as I don't think FoP would apply even in the country of the photo if it was an unauthorized reproduction to begin with. But if the company knowingly allowed that depiction to be there in a FoP country, they obviously are OK with such photos being used in that country at least. I'm sure there are uses of the photo which may be a trademark violation even if not a copyright violation, but that does not prevent hosting here. To me, the decision on the photo would be based on whether the SpongeBob depiction was authorized or not. Carl Lindberg (talk) 06:49, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Thanks to Carl for the as-always persuasive and cogent analysis.  Oppose restoration and endorse Daphne's treatment of the one she cropped, given that, as graffiti on a utility cabinet, this is obviously unauthorized. Storkk (talk) 09:03, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
  • I agree completely with Carl. FoP applies only to authorized uses of a work. If there were a Disneyland in Germany, then a Mickey Mouse statue there would be covered by FoP, but unless someone can show that Nickelodeon licensed this use of the character, FoP does not apply. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:28, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
  •  Delete According to this blog, the Spongebob graffiti was applied illegaly to this cabinet, i.e. without consent from the power supplier that owns the box. So it's rather unlikely too that the artist had a permission from Nickelodeon to use the character. De728631 (talk) 14:30, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

I really don't know the logic reason for deleting the photo the photo is taken by me for a cover of a cassette for one of the most famous Quran reciter in Egypt who's content is considered as a open to the public for free to use and reuse so I am sure 100% that there is no any problem connected to publishing my photo and I want to know the reason for deleting it

Arabic Wikipedia is facing problems connected to its visual content because the people dealing with the visual content delete a a lot public domain content and not alloying it to be published with no logic reason

hope to give me an answer related to the legal reason for deleting a photo of my work I make a huge effort to take it and to publish it

I am sorry but I am feeling that the wikipedians in charge are dealing with my effort and work with lack of appreciation and I will not be able to contribute any more without having a clear vision connected to how you deal with photographers effort in Wikipedia

Kindly undelete this image. This image was captured on my mobile at the Twitter headquarters in Mumbai. Juspreet Singh Walia requested me to share the image with him so he could use it too on his social platforms. --PreetiYFL (talk) 06:45, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi PreetiYFL,
The copyright owner, i.e. the photographer, has to send a permission via COM:OTRS, as for all content previously published elsewhere. Alternatively, please upload the original unmodified image. Regards, Yann (talk) 09:06, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Dear Yann, I have submitted an email using the OTRS release generator for this email. Also, uploading the original unmodified image as well. Hope this works, please let me know if anything else is required. Thank you so much for your quick response. --PreetiYFL (talk) 12:23, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

And rather than waiting for that e-mail to be reviewed, you apparently decided to bypass the undeletion process by just unilaterally recreating the file yourself.

File:Sarasara album cover2.jpg

Hi, I've recently used a picture in a wikipedia article with the consent of the artist but the picture keeps getting deleted. Is there anything i can do to prevent that?

The file I'm talking about is called File:Sarasara album cover2.jpg.

I used it upon request of the artist and therefore, I have their consent. --Dynamo Asso (talk) 08:21, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi Dynamo Asso,
The artist may not own the copyright of the cover. The publisher or producer usually does. A formal written permission via COM:OTRS is needed anyway for all content previously published elsewhere. Regards, Yann (talk) 09:02, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

My Kristina.jpg and Autoportrait_With_Diadem_of_flowers_2005_oil_canvas_90_105_cm_Gryte_Pintukaite_Valeckiene

[Ticket#: 2017051010008941] and [Ticket#: 2017051010008638] already sent twice

In the letter to "Permission" Wikipedia commons we write : I hereby affirm that I represent...., the creator and/or sole owner.... "creator OR..." it means that if museum has this work they have not the exclusive copyright on the painting which belongs also to the owner of the workEurialo444 (talk) 10:21, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose I am not quite sure I understand your comment. The copyright to a painting almost always belongs to the artist or his or her heirs and not to the owner of the painting. When a museum acquires a painting from the artist, it often buys a license to the copyright with it, but when a museum buys a painting from a third party, it does not have the right to freely license copies of it.

I see that you mention two OTRS tickets dated yesterday. They will be dealt with when they reach the front of the long queue at OTRS several weeks from now. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:34, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Das Bild stammt von mir. Der Link geht/ging auf meine Flickr-Seite. Dort ist eineindeutig vermerkt, dass das Bild CC ist und wie die Lizensierung geregelt ist. Das habe ich auch auf meiner Diskussionsseite gesagt. Eine Löschung ist absurd und ich bitte um baldige Widerherstellung. Danke.

PS: In meinen Augen gehen die Löschungen zu schnell. Wie oft soll ich denn auf meine Seite gehen, um rechtzeitig von Anträgen zu erfahren?

 Oppose The image appears at https://www.flickr.com/photos/martin-graupner/5621413307/in/photostream. It is, as you say above, clearly CC. However you do not say above that it is actually CC-BY-NC-SA. As noted in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Ziffernblatt astronomische uhr marienkirche rostock.jpg, NC licenses are not permitted on Commons.
There are two possible solutions -- either change the license on Flickr to CC-BY-SA or send a free license using OTRS.
To answer your second comment in the German text, DRs are open for a week. You can change your preferences to receive an e-mail when any change is made to your talk page, which will include the notification that a DR has been opened on one of your images.

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Magdalo Flag.jpg

Firstly, the deletion rational is contradictory. If the image is from another website, it isn't simply sourced by Wikipedia. Secondly, basic design of the flag is sourced historically on FOTW. Fry1989 eh? 00:41, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

  •  Support The Magdalo flag was made very long ago, in the late 19th century. I know that because I am a Filipino. IMO, if what we are talking here is about Mark Sensen's version, it is a simple derivative work of the original flag, but both of those versions are below the COM:TOO anyway (IMO).

The image is not copyrighted so it was deleted I accept it. But why the whole article was deleted?

He was a freedom fighter named "maveeran alagumuthu Kone" and he was recognized as a freedom fighter by Indian government then why that page named "Maveeran alagumuthu Kone" was deleted?

Wikimedia Commons is a media repository. Articles are therefore outside the project scope of Commons.

File:Untitled (2014). from the 'Tactile Journeys' series. Acrylic and silver leaf on paper.jpg

Reason: These are my own works, I am an Artist and I have created them myself. Aqeel Solangi (talk) 06:26, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose There are two problems here. The first is that while there is a WP:EN article, Aqeel Solangi, it was written entirely by the subject and, therefore, raises the question of whether Aqeel Solangi is notable and his work falls within the scope of Commons. Second, we have no way of knowing that User:Aqeel Solangi is actually the artist. Identity theft by fans and vandals is common here, so if the community determines here that the works are in scope, in order to restore them, the artist Aqeel Solangi must send a message using OTRS which confirms that he is User:Aqeel Solangi and that he freely licenses his work. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:39, 14 May 2017 (UTC) (Jameslwoodward) Dear Jameslwoodward, You have mentioned two problems that in my opinion are based on your personal understanding/misunderstanding. The fact is I Aqeel Solangi have come a long way and have contributed significantly in the Pakistani Art. I am teaching ART as an Assistant Professor at the National College of Arts (the prestigious institution in Pakistan as well as in South Asia) you can check at Wikipedia Category:National College of Arts faculty AND Second problem you mentioned is senseless, as my whole page is stating that I am an Artist. Please google my name and you will find countless sources linked to my Art work also my personal website is written there in reference section as a proof that I am an artist and if you like, a public figure: http://aqeelsolangi.com.pk/ I recently finished my Mastes Degree in Fine Art at the Bath Spa University UK. It is a joke for me to prove myself an Artist first time in my life after spending 19 years in this field (Fine Arts)and after showing Nationally and Internationally at World's notable venues. Having that strong background in the Arts, it is a sheer surprise that my Wikipedia page is suspended. I apologize any offense. I have sent an email using OTRS for permission to my images/content as a free source. I hope I have made myself clear. Best Regards.

@Rodhullandemu: To answer your question, I am old enough, unlike some, to understand copyright laws. Yes, as you say the image is "obviously" a 19th century image. You do understand copyright laws correct? It's public domain, friend. And the SECOND I altered it in photoshop, after getting it from the public domain, that ALTERED version became MY PROPERTY. Sorry this is over your head. And that is a sincere and constructive apology. As for the score of the page, I would not know, again, I have a real job and unfortunately cannot use my time deleting other people's contributions on Wiki based on incorrect presumptions..

 Support The subject died in 1862, so we can safely assume that this is out of copyright. However, for the record, User:SonWithOpenArms should note that falsely claiming "own work" on an image simply makes trouble for everyone. Making minor corrections with Photoshop probably does not create a new copyright and, in any event, had the copyright for the photograph still been in force, this would have been a derivative work and could not be kept on Commons without a free license from the photographer's heir. .     Jim . . .

File:Ian Welsh OBE.png

Reasons for request:

  • This is a public image taken at the time of Ian Welsh's retirement which is available from the [TheyWorkForYou] website (owned by mySociety), released under Creative Commons 2.5 generic (see [here]: "But please note that any image we use must have been released by its owner under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license – which means that anyone is free to copy and use the image themselves, with attribution.").
  • I believe that this image is important to wikipedia as it denotes an elected public figure, namely the former Labour MSP for Ayr (1999-2000) Ian Welsh.
  • Nilfanion has provided no evidence on the contrary to suggest that this image is not CC-2.5 and overlooked this evidence which was provided in the summary of the image he deleted.

Brythones (talk) 10:29, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Who took this photo? You indicated "BBC" on upload. If so, not free.
The 2nd point is irrelevant, all that matters is if this is available under a free license.  Oppose undeletion until actual source provided.--Nilfanion (talk) 10:40, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
@Nilfanion - I am trying to indicate why this image should not be removed from wikicommons, among the reasons for this I believe the image is an important one which is useful on wikipedia. The TheyWorkForYou and BBC images are the same, so I decided to use the fuller image from the BBC and cite TheyWorkForYou/MySociety as evidence that this image is CC-2.5: TheyWorkForYou explicitly state that the image and its source (BBC) is CC-2.5 in the link I have provided above. Brythones (talk) 10:45, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
If it is more appropriate the image could be fixed, using the copy available from the TheyWorkForYou site which is released under CC-2.5. Brythones (talk) 10:48, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
Commons can only host free photos - the potential utility of an image is irrelevant to working out if its free or not.
TheyWorkForYou states that only cc-by-sa-2.5 uploads are accepted by them - they also warn against uploading random pictures from the 'net, so they are contributor driven - like us. The photo wasn't created for his TheyWorkForYou profile but by someone else, for something else. Who took the photo? TheyWorkForYou isn't the source. I see no reference to the BBC on his profile, and certainly no indication that the BBC released this as cc-by-sa-2.5.
Furthermore, you chose to use the larger BBC image. If the photographer did release the cropped image to TheyWorkForYou - that doesn't mean the full photo on the BBC was released. The most likely chain of events here is that the BBC image is a screencap of one of their camera feeds. More recently a random person submitted the BBC image to TheyWorkForYou, and it was incorrectly accepted by them. It doesn't help that TheyWorkForYou doesn't actually follow the cc-by-sa terms - they should say WHO took the photos...--Nilfanion (talk) 10:55, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose It appears to be well beyond our standard of "significant doubt" that TheyWorkForYou does not have the right to freely license this image. In order to restore it, the actual source and the image's copyright status must be proven. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:25, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

@Daphne Lantier: Can you be more specific? What part of the license in flickr indicates commercial and derivative use are not allowed? And how on Earth does this qualify as "commercial"? Holy Goo (talk) 00:17, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
@Holy Goo: If you look at the license for https://www.flickr.com/photos/fotosagenciabrasil/16884831759/ for example, you'll see a crossed out $ sign in the license. If you mouse over the license you'll see CC-BY-NC-SA. NC is for "non-commercial". Daphne Lantier 00:30, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

@Daphne Lantier: I still don't understand how it qualifies as commercial use. No money is being made out of the image. Besides, Agência Brasil is a government agency of Brasil. Holy Goo (talk) 01:58, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

@Holy Goo: The non-commercial usage restriction applies to people who find the image on Commons and want to use it on a website, in a book, etc. An NC license prohibits re-users of the image to use it in any commercial capacity, a prohibition that is against Commons licensing policy. As regards this being a government agency, you could look through Category:PD Brazil license tags for a license that might apply. Daphne Lantier 02:06, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
@Daphne Lantier: Is this license tag valid? Holy Goo (talk) 02:44, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
@Holy Goo: That certainly looks like a possibility. I've re-opened this request. Let me call on a couple of copyright experts to get their guidance on this. @Jameslwoodward: & @Clindberg: Does Template:Agência_Brasil apply to the above listed images and others from their Flickr stream? Template:Agência_Brasil mentions their website which is a bit confusing, but it would be great if it applies to Flickr images as well. Daphne Lantier 02:54, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
This might be useful, but the files are also uploaded in their website in the form of an article. Example. EBC is a state owned TV and agency. I personally would prefer to use flickr as the source. Holy Goo (talk) 03:48, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose If the image appears on the web site that has the license quoted at {{Agência Brasil}}, then the image could be restored, using that template, even though it has an NC license on Flickr. However, for whatever reason, the image appears on Flickr with the NC version of the license and there is no reason why we should able to use the license from the other site. Many organizations post images with different licenses. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:22, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Reason: Puramyun31 사용자가 제기한 FoP-USonly와 같이 제한되는 경우는 미국의 플로리다 법률에 저촉되기 때문이나 File:고리원자력발전소.JPG의 경우에는 대한민국의 저작물에 관한 것으로 그와 같은 제한은 이루어지지 않으며, 또한 만일 이 저작물을 복제하여 사용하여 문제가 된다면 이는 전적으로 복제한 사용자가 책임져야할 부분이므로 과거 Hyolee2 사용자가 삭제 토론을 열면서 제시한 삭제 사유도 적절하지 않다고 판단됩니다.

Puramyun31さんが話したFoP-USonlyの場合はアメリカのフロリダ州の法律に抵触したものですから問題だと思いますが、File:고리원자력발전소.JPGの場合は大韓民国の著作物に関する件ですから問題ないだと思います。また万が一この著作物を複製して利用するのが問題なら、全くその問題は複製して利用する利用者の誤りですから前のHyolee2さんが話した削除依頼の理由もこの場合には当らないだと思います。 Idh0854 (talk) 13:22, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Nuclear power plants are classified as one of the top class national security facilities in South Korea. Taking a picture of such facilities is strictly prohibited except for a few exceptions. The specific restrictions of each facility, which are not disclosed to the public, vary. If you want to restore this picture, you must prove, by submitting the specific legal grounds clearly, that the pictures of nuclear power plants in South Korea can be freely used as the public domain pictures. Any ambiguous reasons or potential violation of copyrights should not be accepted, as you mentioned before in the Korean Wikipedia.

 SupportReading the deletion request, Commons:Deletion requests/File:고리원자력발전소.JPG, and the comments above, it looks like the only reason that this file was deleted is that it may be against South Korean law to take a photograph of the power plant. The image is "own work" with a free license from the photographer, so I see no other reason for the deletion.

We routinely ignore non copyright restrictions such as this one. Although the photographer may be at risk of legal action by the South Korean government, that is not a problem for Commons and there is no legal reason we cannot host this image. .     Jim . . .

File:Poole coatofarms.jpg

As the author of this photo I am requesting un-deletion. The decision was entirely made without a.) correctly determining the original circumstances of the image and b.) making an attempt to inform the author that the image was up for deletion. I took this photo many years ago, perhaps nearly a decade ago, while living and working in the town of Poole, as I was re-writing the Poole article and its history. No attempt has been made to contact me to even ask for me to expand on the source of the image. No attempt was made to ascertain if the image was in the public image. Quite luckly I noticed that one of my images had been deleted from my image page on my user account... This is the kind of speedy deletion that really ruins Wikipedia. I would like the image re-instated. So firstly 1.) it is a photograph of my own taking, which I released, albeit it does show the Poole Town Coat of Arms, but it shows an historical sign, available in public. Ownership rests with the Poole Town Council. However it does not violate copyright as the colour coat of arms was created prior to 1957. PD Old should be sufficient for the licensing. LordHarris (talk) 14:59, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

From Commons:Deletion requests/File:Poole coatofarms.jpg. Who designed this glass window? Thuresson (talk) 17:19, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
Unknown designer. But dead by now. It is a sign on display on the edge of the public museum of Poole. From what I recall a notice beside it said the glass window itself came from a building that was destroyed during the second world war. The coat of arms can be seen by anyone of the public walking past the museum. PD-UK would also be appropriate given age and time. LordHarris (talk) 18:13, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose This is a work by a professional. I am not convinced that an unknown person would be asked to make a work of art like this. Thuresson (talk) 13:07, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

There are probably tens of thousands of elaborate victorian signs and windows in Britain? Very few have actual documented professionals known by name. At best, it might be assigned to a workshop in that era, but by a professional? FYI I wasn't aware that I had to convince you personally? On what grounds within wikicommons licensing policy do you oppose this? LordHarris (talk) 21:24, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose The professional status of the creator does not matter -- the stained glass had a copyright from the moment of its creation. Since UK copyright for works of this sort lasts for 70 years after the death of the creator, in order to assume that the work is PD, it must be shown that the work is from after about 1885. That has not been done here.

Alternately, if it can be proven that research cannot determine the name of the creator, then it falls under the UK rule for works by an unknown artist, and it must be shown that work predates 1947. Such research must certainly include a close physical examination of the work -- most stained glass is signed -- and also further inquiry into the origins of the work. Note also that the law on CoAs is that this particular representation has (or had) a copyright, even if generally the CoA is old enough so that some versions of it are PD. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:11, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

 Support The evidence is that it's stained glass, a work of "artistic craftsmanship" which is permanently displayed in a public place.

I also note that at first you claimed that you were the photographer, then, later, named Jesús M Tibau as the photographer. Since he appears in the photo, that seems very unlikely.

The photo is taken from Google images.

As I said in the closing comment, the entire debate and the Keep requests were based on quotes from commentaries on UK law.

Please undelete this file. The Photographer, Dara Crockett, has already given her permission to use it freely by sending an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org, not once, but twice. It was on Craig Chaquico's page, briefly. Can it be restored please? Cheryl Fullerton (talk) 21:01, 21 May 2017 (UTC)Cheryl

 Oppose The 2015 Dara Crockett e-mail does not cover this image. The second one is dated May 4, 2017. Unfortunately, OTRS, like Commons, is badly understaffed and it is often a month or more before an e-mail reaches the head of the queue, is read, and, if approved, has the image restored. I am afraid the image will have to wait its turn. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:21, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

Jeff, Daphne, although I don't think there is formal policy on it, I think it is a mistake to allow people to jump the long OTRS queue by bringing a request here. Taking images out of order is unfair to those who wait patiently and, if it becomes a regular practice, will probably mean that UnDR will get many more requests. .     Jim . . .

 Oppose The artist's death in 2006 is completely relevant -- it indicates that the artist's work will be under copyright until January 1, 2077.

 Oppose First, as Hedwig said, images on Commons must be freely licensed for any use by anyone anywhere. The license shown at the cited page is far too restrictive to permit hosting the logo on Commons. You have put it on WP:EN with a Fair Use rationale, which is the best you can do unless your organization changes its licensing policy.
Second, I don't understand "But I can't authorize use of our old logo that is currently being displayed from some random website not related to our organization." The logo shown at WP:EN, which you put there, appears to be the organization's current logo. The blog page which you also cite is completely unrelated to WMF projects so there is no one here on Commons or at WP:EN who can do anything about it. .     Jim . . .

  •  Oppose If a free license has been sent to OTRS, then the file will be restored automatically when and if the email is received, processed, and approved. Note that OTRS, like Commons, is entirely staffed by volunteers, and, also like Commons, is shorthanded, so it may be close to 16 days before the email is processed and the file is restored.
If the message was sent to the English language version of OTRS and the email has been properly received there the sender will receive an automatic reply with the ticket number. If the sender has not had a reply, please check that it was sent correctly and try again. Other language versions may or may not provide the automatic reply.

‪File:Славица Гароња.jpg

There are some updates related to this image. It was my mistake for putting the name of Karlo Fridrih, he is not the copyright holder. I have contacted the person who appears on that photo and she clarified that she is the only owner or copyright holder of this photograph. It is her own photo and no one has rights on this photo except her. Also, the previous photo which was uploaded and published on her page seems to be the violation of the rights. The woman explained to me that someone literally stole her photo from some USB and published on Wikipedia as his own. That's why I am tryng to publish some other photo that this woman agrees with. She doesn't agree with that first photo as it was her private and not appropriate for Wikipedia. Practically she would like the file "‪File:Славица Гароња.jpg to be publsihed on her Wikipedia page. I am aware of all the rules, but what about the opinions and wishes of those people (who are alive) and whose wish we should respect while we are making articles on. I would really like you to help me on this, 'cause the woman is devastated knowing that someone missused her own property, practically the photo which she doesn't want to be on Wikipedia is published and the one she wants it to be ("‪File:Славица Гароња.jpg) is deleted. If it's necessary she can contact you and explain the whole matter. Once again I will repeat that it was my mistake for mentioning Karlo Fridrih, he is not the copyright holder of this photograph.

The reason for undeletion request is that the image of N.Samba Siva Rao IPS is taken from Google Images.

File:Khuwaja Khuwajgan Hazrat Faqeer Sufi Naqeeb Ullah Shah.jpg

Hello This file is not a copyright violation. This file contains portrait (front pose picture) of Sufi Naqeeb Ullah Shah, the saint behind Naqeebia Sufi order or Sufi chain. Naqeebia Sufi Order is followed by millions of followers all over the world. This picture was captured by my grand father in 1993 via old camera at that times, which i later reproduced this image using latest photo editing tools and added colors in picture. Later the newly edited photo was sent to many followers via email, and official magazine of Naqeebia Sufi order called Gulistan e Naqeeb, which is published on monthly basis.

Sufi Naqeeb Ullah Shah and his teachings are an asset for his followers. As all followers show equal respect and devotion towards Sufi Naqeeb Ullah Shah, so no one shows any ownership to his belongings, photographs etc. All the things including Shrines, Land (Owned by Sufi Naqeeb Ullah Shah) etc are kept as a public property (non transferable to anyone) for every one so any one can visit and see these things and get some inspiration and knowledge.

So please i request you to please un-delete the photograph and allow me to post articles and photos regarding sufi order.

File:Galtzerdi suizida.jpg and File:Karramarroaren aztarnak.jpg

Hello! I would like to request the undeletion of these two files because they are already released under compatible cc:by-sa license on Flickr.

Moreover, these two pictures are part of a GLAM project in which a Wikimedian in Residence is working in the Children literature Documentation Center of Donostia for a children literature project. As working from a public institution with the children's book basque publishers, all the permission had been taken in order to put those book covers in Flickr. Thank you for your attention. --Xabier Cañas (talk) 14:19, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

 Comment The problem seems to be that the uploader to Flickr is not the owner of the copyright, but the book publishers. Permission from the publishers would be possibly needed. --Discasto talk 15:31, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Right, It sound sensible! Thanks @Dicasto. Here are the both permissions of the publisher, Elkarlanean (eu/es):
I think with that should be ok, isn't it?-Xabier Cañas (talk) 16:51, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
Forgive me, but I am confused. I don't read Basque and Google will not translate www.donostiakultura.eus. The site's own English translation is very rough, so I may be very wrong about what the organization does, but at About Donostia Kultura it says nothing about it being a publisher. The licenses above (CC-BY, I think) would be fine if DK is the actual publisher of the two books. You say "Here are the both permissions of the publisher, Elkarlanean" but both documents are on DK letterhead, not that of Elkarlanean. Could you please explain in more detail. Thanks, .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 17:08, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
The publisher of both books is "Elkarlanean". Donostia Kultura is the department of culture of the city of Donostia-San Sebastian who is leading a GLAM program. Elkarlanean (the publisher and the owner of the copyright) gives permission under CC-By-Sa to Donostia Kultura to use and distribute the files (book covers), using for that Donostia Kultura's normalised form; that's why DK appears at the heading and at the bottom of the document. Basque-English translators are not very good, but the right colum is in Spanish so the tranaslator would work better. --Xabier Cañas (talk) 17:35, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

In order for the image to be restored to Commons, either (a) an authorized official of the organization must send a free license using OTRS or (b) the MMRF must change "© 2017 Michelson Medical Research Foundation" on its Web pages to read "© 2017 Michelson Medical Research Foundation. All images on this site are licensed CC-BY-SA-4.0". Note that "for MMRF related wikipedia pages" is far too restrictive. Images on Commons and WP:EN must be freely licensed for any use by anybody anywhere.
If you intend to upload more images from the domain, then alternate (b) is the better choice, but if you choose alternate (a) then the permission e-mail should say that the license covers all images on michelsonmedical.org now or in the future. Note also that alternate (b) will allow for an immediate restoration of the image. The OTRS queue is at least several weeks, perhaps longer. .     Jim . . .

File:Reproducibility Spectrum.png

This needs discussion, IMO. User_talk:Revent#File:Reproducibility_Spectrum.png is relevant.

The file was deleted as missing permission. OTRS now has a 'clearly legitimate' release from the author of the paper in which it is published (and the paper is under CC-BY-SA) The issue is that the image is attributed, in that paper, as adapted 'with permission' from a diagram in another paper (that is under CC-BY-NC). The relevant images are https://imagebin.ca/v/3Lgr0x1ROLQX (the image uploaded here) and https://imagebin.ca/v/3LgroarrRwy9 (the original). The author has asserted, to paraphrase into copyright-speak, that the source image was merely an inspiration, and that all that was used from the original was the (uncopyrightable) 'idea' of such a diagram. Personally, I am inclined to agree with this, in this specific case, but I believe it's a judgement call that needs a consensus.

Pinging Jeff G. (talk · contribs) and Comtebenoit (talk · contribs) as involved parties. - Reventtalk 00:38, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

To be clear, the images uploaded to imagebin are screenshots of the published PDFs... not the specific image upload here (which was the actual 'image' itself). - Reventtalk 00:40, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
This sounds reasonable, given my limited information and Ticket:2017021710016854.   — Jeff G. ツ 01:01, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
This matter could have been resolved definitively with OTRS permission from the author of the original paper, if we had the proper email address. BU Rob13 asked the uploader for such permission on 12 April, and we got an excuse instead. If such permission were given and in evidence, I think it would have been submitted by now. The 'with permission' quoted by Revent above indicates that the uploader thought such permission was necessary, and so do I. Absent evidence of it, since this looks like derivative work, I {{O}} restoration.   — Jeff G. ツ 06:45, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
@Jeff G.: What I see as the question here is not if the image is 'derivative' in the non-technical sense (it clearly is), but if it actually used any aspects of the original work that are copyrightable. I'm inclined to think that what was used were only the uncopyrightable 'ideas' underlying such a diagram (which is essentially what the author claimed in the most recent email on that ticket) but I don't think it's clearcut. - Reventtalk 06:53, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
@Revent: IMHO "reproducibility spectrum" is a direct English translation of the copyrighted Spanish text "gradiente de reproducibilidad".   — Jeff G. ツ 07:52, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
@Jeff G.: Yes, it is. However, "Words and short phrases, such as names, titles, and slogans, are not copyrightable because they contain a de minimis amount of authorship. See 37 C.F.R. § 202.1(a)." (Copyright Compendium, 313.4(C)[9]). The phrase 'reproducibility spectrum' is the obvious way to state the underlying idea in English. - Reventtalk 08:07, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose The image appears on Twitter, which is copyrighted. Therefore policy requires that the actual photographer must send a free license using OTRS. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:59, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose Copyright All Rights Reserved at [10]. Thuresson (talk) 05:30, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose You may either (a) change the license on Flickr to CC-BY or CC-BY-SA or (b) have the actual photographer send a free license using OTRS. (a) will allow restoration immediately. (b) is likely to take several weeks or more as OTRS has a large backlog. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:02, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

Emmanuel Lamy.jpg

Le photographe propriétaire de la photo a envoyé un mail afin de céder ses droits (comme demandé dans le processus standard).

Merci de rendre la photo Emmanuel Lamy.jpg disponible au plus vite. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TimothéPoulain (talk • contribs) 10:31, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

  •  Oppose If a free license has been sent to OTRS, then the file will be restored automatically when and if the email is received, processed, and approved. Note that OTRS, like Commons, is entirely staffed by volunteers, and, also like Commons, is shorthanded, so it may be close to 16 days before the email is processed and the file is restored.
If the message was sent to the English language version of OTRS and the email has been properly received there the sender will receive an automatic reply with the ticket number. If the sender has not had a reply, please check that it was sent correctly and try again. Other language versions may or may not provide the automatic reply..     Jim . . .

OTRS agent (verify) request: Permission has been clarified with Template:OTRS ticket. Ty, --Arthur Crbz (talk) 08:08, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

@Arthur Crbz: sorry if I'm being dense, but could you please clarify where the document is stated to be Public Domain or freely licensed? I see the link pointed to in the ticket, but I cannot immediately find anything relevant. I also found http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/bibliography/53882#/summary , which states "Copyright Permission Granted", (which I don't think is good enough considering this page suggests they will explicitly tag public domain material). Storkk (talk) 10:48, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
@Storkk: You are probably right, there is not specific mention that the document is in PD. Plus, UK copyright requires 70 years after death/publication (so 2021). Thank you for your advices, I will notice the client. --Arthur Crbz (talk) 08:48, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

 Not done See above. --Arthur Crbz (talk) 08:49, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
