File:Soldados da FEB no segundo asalto da batalha de Monte Castelo.jpg

The photo was taken during the Second World War in Rocca Corneta (municipality of Lizzano in Belvedere, province of Bologna, Italy) during the second assault of the Battle of Monte Castello by the Brazilian Army on 29 November 1944. According to italian law, images shot in Italy are on Public Domain after 20 years (see: Template:PD-Italy). Then, according to Brazilian Copyright Law (see: Template:PD-Brazil-media) photographic works shall be protected for a period of 70 years from the first of January of the year following that of their disclosure (this photo was shot 72 years ago). So I guess this photo can be restored, fixing the correct licence (original uploader listed it as "own work" with cc-by-sa-4.0, instead of Author:Brazilian Army, date:1944-11-29; license:PD-Italy+PD-Brazil-media). Thanks for your attention. If you need any additional info, please ping me. --Holapaco77 (talk) 15:50, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Reason: Owner/mark was missing, but will be added after undeletion. Bagoly23 (talk) 09:32, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose I doubt very much that you were actually the photographer, as you claimed. Unless I am wrong, and you were the photographer, in order to restore these, the actual photographer(s) must send a free license(s) using OTRS. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:12, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Files uploaded by Planb88

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: I talked to the uploader and verified that he is in fact Marcus Kayne, husband of Rebecca Mader. I asked him to confirm via Twitter, which he did. [1] Rebecca Mader also retweeted this.

With this new information, it seems safe to presume that he is telling the truth about taking these photos himself. Guanaco (talk) 07:50, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Now ongoing dispute, photo being allegedly a cropped professional photo. Planb88 denies this and reasserts he took it with his iPhone. Guanaco (talk) 08:41, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose the first three files are copyright violations, no doubt. The other two files are cropped versions of the photo at [2] or photos taken from the exact same position and therefore by the same photographer. --Martin H. (talk) 09:11, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
 Oppose I can't find the first two images -- the site that the deletion says they are from has similar images from the same photo shoot, but not the same ones. The third is definitely claimed by Getty. The last two are indeed crops from the image Martin H. cites. If, in fact, Planb88 is Marcus Kayne, then he cannot have taken the image because he appears in it and it is not a selfie. On the other hand, the Twitter page cited by Guanaco is fairly convincing. I think the best thing here is to follow our usual procedure and require an OTRS license. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 09:59, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Hello,

This was wrongly deleted. The author has posted this on flickr with sharealike license. Link below:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/150123902@N07/34847094662/

Please undelete.

--Warman631 (talk) 13:04, 31 May 2017 (UTC)Peter Abboud 31/05/2017

 Oppose The image came from Facebook, which is copyrighted. There is absolutely no evidence that the Flickr user has the right to freely license the image. License laundering is common on Flickr. It cannot be restored without a free license from an authorized official of the band using OTRS. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:08, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Hello Jim,

The band manager has just sent an e-mail as requested to OTRS confirming that they have released this picture for free use. The email is kimaeraband@gmail.com and can be confirmed on the band's website or facebook page. www.kimaera.info or facebook.com/kimaeraofficial.

Please advise, thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Warman631 (talk • contribs) 13:24, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

If a free license has been sent to OTRS, then the image will be restored automatically when and if the e-mail is received, processed, and approved. If the e-mail has been properly received there, then the sender should 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. Note that OTRS, like Commons, is entirely staffed by volunteers, and, also like Commons, is shorthanded, so it may be several weeks or more before the e-mail is processed and the image is restored. .     Jim . . .

Files uploaded by Edbarseghyan

Please restore the following pages:

It seems like these files were deleted without any discussion while they were works of the uploader per User talk:Edbarseghyan. From uploader's reply it seems that he was just new to the site and did not know how to affirm that his files are his own work. The user seems to have uploaded the rest of the series as well without any problem. Thank you, Chaojoker (talk) 14:36, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

File:Up_at_the_66th_Mostra.jpg

This has been tagged as copyright violation by AntonierCH but this file had been kept once per Commons:Deletion requests/File:Up at the 66th Mostra.jpg. Therefore it needed at least a DR if he wanted to question it again with new arguments.
(NB : AntonierCH's recent activity looks like he's upset against me for some reason. I hope I'm wrong and that he's not in a revenge/ animosity logic, but there are some strange relations between recent attempts of deleting some of my uploads) --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 16:00, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

 Info The deletion request is from 2009. Since 2011 we have COM:COSTUME. Thuresson (talk) 16:35, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
@Thuresson: I wasn't aware of COM:COSTUME, thanks for that information. Just a "technical" question : as I wrote above, I wasn't saying that the file shouldn't be deleted but that a DR might have been a better thing to do since there was a previous DR. Moreoever, I think the "copyvio" tag doesn't apply to cases like costumes. Am I wrong ? --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 06:30, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 Comment. "... posting pictures of costumes or masks that are themselves under copyright, or which depict characters that are under copyright could qualify as copyright infringement" per this WMF statement. This is obviously the case here, where it is even more than a costume : the 3D character has been directly 3D printed to create the costume. It is obviously copyrighted. TwoWings: Please assume good faith, I have other stuff to do and there is no reason for a revenge or whatever has it has been already been stated. --AntonierCH (d) 17:38, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
@AntonierCH: Since you recently wrote wrong accusations towards me when I asked you any explanations (you assumed it was not important when you deleted my message ! wow !), and since it seemed strange to see you trying to delete several of my uploads afterwards (and apparently you're upset when they are kept), I assumed it was logical to think that from you. At least, you may not be the perfect person to ask me to assume good faith from you. So just try not to abuse (even if you may be right in this case). Thanks. --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 06:30, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
@AntonierCH: But I agree that you proved your good faith here. So let's end with that and try not to be rancorous with each other. Regards. --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 06:36, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

File:Eva Sonnino and Dino Sonnino, cover photo.jpeg

Reason: The photo is most probably not covered by copyright since Bernardo Sandals, the company owned at the time by R G Barry in 1970, went out of business in the early 1990's. Edward Sonnino (talk) 21:47, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose In most cases the copyright will be held by the photographer or his heirs. If, in the rare case that that photographer transferred the copyright to Bernardo Sandals, then it is likely that the company's intellectual property (including its copyrights) was sold at the windup auction. If not, then they are orphan copyrights. In any case, the copyrights still exist and the images cannot be kept on Commons unless there is a copyright holder and he is willing to freely license them. If the copyrights are orphans, then the images cannot be kept on Commons until the copyrights expire. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:23, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

 Support Author of text, Karl Gjellerup (1857-1919). Illustration by Louis Moe (1857-1945). Published 1897. Although it was not out of copyright in Norway on the URAA date, no work published before 1923 has a URAA copyright in the USA, so it is PD in both Norway (per pma 70) and the USA (pre-1923). .     Jim . . .

Files from MapQuest

According to the DR's below it does not seem that MapQuest published under a free license. But there are a lot's of files that created with ShareMap (Category:Created with ShareMap). The EXIF indicate that the file is CC-BY-SA 3.0 but the source also mentioned MapQuest as one of the sources (example). If files from ShareMap are ok then those DR's should be undeleted.

Also raised it in Commons:Village pump/Copyright#files from MapQuest. -- Geagea (talk) 13:08, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose File:Belarus (night train).svg shows a ShareMap source, which would be OK (Sharemap is CC-BY-SA-3.0), but it is not the same map as the one one Sharemap -- it has more detail in the countryside. It mentions six data sources, of which only MapQuest is not freely licensed, but that is enough to make it unusable here.

The third and fourth cases are taken directly from MapQuest and clearly cannot be kept here. The first two are from a a now discontinued "MapQuest Open", for which license information is not available any more. Since we can't cite the now-missing license there, I think we must assume that the DRs were correct. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 09:49, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

Reason: this is mistake, I'm the the orginal uploader not (جار الله), this is public domain in Egypt Ibrahim.ID ✪ 20:22, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

I uploaded this file in Arwiki in 2010 and (جار الله) transfer it to commons later --Ibrahim.ID ✪ 20:33, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose There are two problems here. First, the image has no useful filename or description, only " ترخيص" which Google translates as "License". It has no categories, so it will be lost among our 39 million files. It is small and blurred, so I doubt that even if we knew what it was that it would ever be used.

Second, you say it is PD in Egypt. The law in Egypt is 50 years pma. This image shows an automobile that is from the 1930s or perhaps later. Therefore we cannot assume that the photographer died more than 50 years ago. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:00, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

File:Didier Vermeiren, Adam, 1999 Tate Modern.jpg

This file has been deleted today or yesterday, so i asked Mr. Vermeiren, the artist (the author of the photography and also of the work) to ad it himself to the wikicommons project so I could use it on wikipedia. So he created his own account and he did it this afternoon.

Shev123 has been very suspicious of every move regarding the Vermeiren page on wikipedia, but everything has now been done by the book, at least I'm trying too when I have enough time

Thanks alot for your attention

--DiePlastik (talk) 16:23, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

 Info From Commons:Deletion requests/File:Didier Vermeiren, Adam, 1999 Tate Modern.jpg. Thuresson (talk) 18:44, 1 June 2017 (UTC) Also see Commons:Deletion requests/File:Didier Vermeiren, Adam, 1999 Tatemodern.jpg

 Oppose I do not see an account in the name User:Didier Vermeiren. I do see that someone has uploaded the image a second time using a slightly different filename after it was deleted. If that person knew that the image had been deleted previously, then this is a violation of Commons rules and a waste of human and computer resources.

If M. Vermeiren wishes to open an account in order to upload and freely license his work, that would be very welcome. However, since both vandals and fans can easily open an account and claim that they are a famous artist, policy requires that the artist must send proof of his identity using OTRS.

As far as I can see, Shev123's suspicions have been entirely correct. We do not yet have any evidence that M. Vermeiren has freely licensed his work or wants to do so. Such suspicions may be very frustrating to the honest user, but please understand that we are only trying to protect the artist's copyright in a world where there are many people who might want to violate it. .     Jim . . .

Baker-Washington March cut.jpg

Wrong deletion about Pr Fox's pictures.


Hello,
What I've you done ? Why my pictures loaded since a long time are deleted now, though it is Public domain !?

It is very complicated to contribute with visual pictures on wikipédia (in addition to that tutorials are in english) ; but I assure you it is a "maldonne" (like we say in French) ! First (about Josephine Baker) are from public notoriety free to use (ex: [J.B. in Washington March] etc.)
And the second choice (Georges Arnaud) is a review of a picture offered by the son of the writer himself. (P.D.) I'll be pleased if you can undelete those contributions (or if you'll do not erase it again, in the case I'll be obliged to re-load them...) Thanks for your attention. --Pr Fox (talk) 13:50, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose These were deleted via Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Pr Fox. You claimed these images as your "own work", and now you tell me each comes from a different source and author (which is why we deleted them in the first place, since it's obvious they weren't your own work). Public notoriety doesn't make these free to use. OTRS permission from the copyright holder of these images is needed. If you re-upload any of these three images, I'll be forced to delete them again and block your account, so I wouldn't recommend that you do so. Daphne Lantier 18:25, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose Agreed. It is clear that Pr Fox is not the author of these images as he originally claimed. As Daphne says, in order for any of them to be restored, the actual copyright holder of the image, which is almost always the photographer, must send a free license using OTRS. .     Jim . . .

To do so, simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments.

File:Ejkm.png

I request you undelete this file, for the following reasons:


As it was found easily on Google images, and I have seen the file used on multiple different sites, I see it as fair game.


It is the only suitable file of it's kind. There are no other files of a good enough quality and suitable pixel size depicting the same image.


I feel this is a far more appropriate image than any other, as it is closest in design to the original flag. The currently used photo is an incorrect image.


The currently used item shows signs of bias/propaganda. The icon depicts Ériu, the symbol of Irish Nationalism (the topic in question) in a Negroid fashion. This is disrespectful to the topic, and is in my opinion racist. The currently used icon is not true to the original image it is meant to be depicting.


There was no copyright signature on the original image, and no signs the creator of such an image did not want others to redisplay their work in similar Wikis to the one in which it was originally used. I would surmise quite the opposite is the case.


I believe we at Wikipedia have a moral obligation to the truth, and to display history in a non-biased, objective fashion. I hope you consider my request, and the implications of ignoring such demands, as simple as they may be.


Thank you for your time.

I'm not, so I have no access to any OTRS information. Daphne Lantier 04:57, 6 June 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greatica (talk • contribs) 04:20, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

File:Brisbane Christian College Logo.svg

Hi,

I would like to ask guidance regarding the correct way to upload an image under Fair Use, not Free Use. Based on my reading of the Wikimedia article and other similar types of images for an education entity I understand I have followed the guidelines.

I am happy to do the work for this to be correct but feel that the deletion is unwarranted due to the current Wikimedia policy.

Thank you, I appreciate your time.

As per COM:FU, fair use is not allowed here on Commons. You would have to upload the file at Wikipedia (see Wikipedia:Non-free content). Daphne Lantier 19:33, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
No such file of this name has ever been uploaded at Commons or the English Wikipedia and hotlinking images from the web or from your computer does not work at all on Wikimedia pages, so the image was not deleted either. This logo from the website of the Brisbane Christian College, however, seems to be creative enough to be copyrighted under Australian law, so you would have to upload it locally at Wikipedia with a fair use rationale.
I have now done this for you, but for future reference, I'll list the required steps for the fastest way below:
  • Download the logo to your computer and convert it to a small raster image (jpg, png) using some image-processing software of your choice. This is required to satisfy the fair use criteria of the English Wikipedia which demand that the sampled image is always reasonably small enough to prevent misuse by third parties. 300 x 300 pixels should be ok and this SVG logo was even smaller.
  • At the English Wikipedia click the "Upload file" button in the "tools" menu on the left side of the page.
  • Choose "Wikipedia / Plain form for local uploads" in the next screen.
  • Then comes the file upload form. Enter the source file from your computer and change the destination filename if needed so it becomes descriptive.
  • In the big text box called "Summary", enter the following code:

{{Non-free use rationale logo | Article = Brisbane Christian College | Use = Infobox | Website = https://brisbanechristiancollege.com.au/ }}

  • Select "Logo" from the "Licensing" menu.
  • "Upload file"

 Oppose That bald assertion is not a reason to restore the image. It was deleted because it appears elsewhere on the Web without a free license. In order to have it restored, the actual photographer must send a free license using OTRS. Also note that without a useful file description (where? when?) and categories, it will simply be lost and useless among our 40 million images. .     Jim . . .

File:Urtina logo circle png 01.png

Dear Administrator

I want this files to be retrieved because the logo is bought on freelancer. I paid 50 $ for the logo to be made on the open contest in freelancer. Whenever I announced and selected the winner all rights to use the logo are granted and transferred to me. If you need additional proof please let me know.

(OsmanDzudzevic (talk) 10:44, 9 June 2017 (UTC))

 Oppose First, you must show that the logo is that of a significant organization -- that usually requires that there be a Wikipedia article on it. Then, having done that here, you must have the actual copyright holder send a free license using OTRS. Note that there appears to be nothing in Freelancer's terms of service that suggests that your commissioning a work includes a transfer of the copyright. Unless there is a specific written agreement, signed by the creator, which transfers copyright to you, you do not have the right to freely license these logos. .     Jim . . .

  •  Oppose I have trouble believing you. More than half of your uploads have been deleted, mostly as copyright violations. If you think you're following correct procedures, you're not.

File:Femme Kabyles.jpg

Request temporary undeletion

The file was initially uploaded to the German Wikipedia were it was licensed with this de:wiki-license: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage:Bild-PD-alt-100 Somehow it ended up being transfered to Commons were it was deleted. I request the temp. undeletion to transfer the file back to de:wiki. --Lamilli (talk) 13:41, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

✓ Done: It was deleted because Haabet noticed that it had been photoshopped by you to add the nipple rings, so removed the license. I have restored it because I think adding the rings does not make it enough of a new work to invalidate PD status of the original. If it should be deleted on scope grounds, that should be done by a DR, not just removing the license tag. --Storkk (talk) 14:39, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Haabet should have reverted to the old version with advice to upload with a new filename.   — Jeff G. ツ 14:48, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

 Support This is in fulfillment of the requirement I noted in the last UnDR that the individual photos be uploaded. Except for the PD USDA image, these all were taken with the same camera, so I think the Own Work claim is valid. Note that after restoration, the source and author must be modified to show that not all of the images are, in fact, Own Work. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 09:56, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

@Themccoy502: It is overcategorized. Since Category:Human scrotum is in Category:Scrotum, this file should be in the former but not the latter. Also, it is poorly named (is there any scrotum which is not male (or at least on a male)?

File:Thomas_McNaught.jpg

The photograph (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm6425890/mediaviewer/rm3450873856) of myself uploaded to the page was taken by Hayley Greer, under a free license to myself as the subject. I have both her permission and my own authorisation to include this image on my page.

--Thmsmcn (talk) 18:13, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose Since the image appears at IMDB, policy requires that Hayley Greer send a free license directly using OTRS. Note that permission to use the image on your page is insufficient -- images on Commons and WP:EN must be free for any use anywhere by anybody. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:24, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

The image didn't first appear on IMDb however, it was published on her Instagram and mine and I uploaded it to IMDb myself. Since she was not paid for the shoot, she doesn't have the copyright; I have a copy of the contract stating that.

--Thmsmcn (talk) 21:04, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

It doesn't matter where it was first uploaded (other than if that was on Commons) - policy is the same. Her not being paid cuts the other way -- assuming she actually signed a formal written license or transfer of copyright, there was not consideration (in the formal legal sense) for the agreement and therefore it may not be binding. In any case, as I said above, shoe must send a free license using OTRS. You could also try sending a free license yourself, but you would have to prove to the satisfaction of the OTRS agent that Greer has actually given you the right to freely license the work and that that agreement is binding despite the lack of consideration. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:40, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

My apologies, a type - I meant to say since she *was* paid for the shoot. I will email a copy of the contract to OTRS, and ask her to as well.

--Thomas McNaught (talk) 21:45, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

You should not have uploaded the same image under a slight different name File:ThomasMcNaught.jpg because the copyright situation is still unclear. Unless we have received evidence by email that the copyright was transferred to you, please do not upload this photo again.

Files in Category:Official portraits of Donald Trump

File:Donald Trump official portrait.jpg and its derivatives were deleted based on information received by the OTRS team. The OTRS concluded that the official portrait was not made in the capacity as an employee of the federal government, and as such, is not in the public domain. The community has accepted this decision as valid.

Because the portrait is not in the public domain, its author can license the work under any license he chooses in whatever publication he wishes. Based on publicly available information, it can be concluded that the copyright holder has agreed to license the photograph under a free content license on the official website of the White House:

The portrait is sourced to the official website of the White House, whose Copyright Policy notes that: "Except where otherwise noted, third-party content on this site is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License." Because the Trump portrait is not accompanied by a message that would state otherwise, the assumption is that the White House website has published it under the CC BY license.

The situation is thus that we have a reputable publisher (the White House) claiming that the copyright holder has agreed to publish the portrait under a CC BY license on their website. Unless we have the copyright holder explicitly deny this, I think we should trust what the White House is telling the public: the image has been granted publication under a free license by its copyright holder.

The only way to justify the deletion of these files is thus if OTRS agents can confirm that the copyright holder has, in the OTRS ticket that the deletion was based on, explicitly stated that they have not agreed to the license on the White House website.

For further information, please see pre-undeletion request discussion at User talk:Revent#Regarding the Trump portrait deletions. Finnusertop (talk) 23:23, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

The reputability of this administration in regards to licences is questionable. As mentioned in the deletion discussion by Stemoc they may have made mistakes on the WH Flickr. In the can make mistakes during the administration, mistakes prior to it are completely plausible. Furthermore it is curious as to why only the image of Trump was tagged and not those of Pence. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 23:57, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
The White House is not listed at Commons:Problematic sources as a notorious license launderer. In fact, the White House, with an army of lawyers and media people, politically responsible of its good standing, and legally responsible as a government agency, is an exceptionally reputable source of media. We should absolutely assume that they have the competence and integrity to correctly use licensed files. If they have made a mistake in this particular case, that should be proven, not assumed. Finnusertop (talk) 00:29, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
I can totally accept that, but I was just saying that we should be open minded and not believe that they are infallible. My point about Pence still stands as it was revealed in the same inauguration document and is also present on the website. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 00:37, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
Agreeing with the Emir re: reputability of the source of the license. I tend to think, in the absence of a chief technology officer, Mr. Obama's work is in use by Mr. Trump's administration. The White House copyright page was first crawled on January 21, 2009 (Internet archive); it had the same license (CC-BY-3.0) eight years ago. -SusanLesch (talk) 15:36, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
  •  Support per request and for the reasons I gave on the closer's talk page. The deletion discussion centered around the OTRS ticket and whether or not these images were in the public domain; neither those proposing deletion nor the closer addressed the argument that these are, per the White House, licensed to us under the Commons-compatible CC BY 3.0 US license. Since we have a valid license, it's irrelevant that these are not public domain. Rebbing 01:24, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
    • If the Whitehouse did not produce the photograph, then they have no standing to grant a CC license. Unless the photographs were produced as "work for hire", the right to grant licenses is reserved solely to the photographer.- MrX 16:45, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
      • I'm not suggesting that the White House produced the photograph or licensed it by its own right. I'm arguing that the White House had seen to it in some way that this image was validly licensed under a Creative Commons license. Perhaps it obtained a contractual right to sublicense the photograph as it saw fit; perhaps it had a work for hire arrangement. It doesn't matter. What matters is that the White House publicly attests that this image is lawfully licensed under a free license, and we ought to take its word for it. Rebbing 16:57, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
  •  Reluctant oppose based on Rob13's statement that the ticket affirmatively and conclusively rebuts the White House's claim that these are licensed under a Creative Commons license, as well as on our precautionary principle. Rebbing 13:43, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
  •  Support as the OTRS notice fails to provide information indicating the White House license is in breach of copyright. Being an official source, the onus is on the government to maintain this license and present this information, or otherwise on those handling the ticket to prove that the White House notice is invalid or currently a matter under consideration for legal action. --Simtropolitan (talk) 02:33, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
  •  Support. "CC licenses are not revocable." per "What if I change my mind." Licensing with predictable, standard usage rights extending to all users is a fundamental practice of both the Wikimedia commons archive and the Creative Commons. This deletion, sorry to say, made no sense in light of an existing CC license. -SusanLesch (talk) 13:58, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
    • The first five words are accurate, but since there is no evidence that the photographer granted a CC license, and apparently OTRS has evidence that he did not, then those five words are inapplicable. The Whitehouse website cannot grant a license for content that they do not own.- MrX 16:32, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
No, the OTRS ticket as reported does not contain evidence nor make any claims about whatever license the photographer chose except to say it is NOT public domain. The only license we have is from the White House. -SusanLesch (talk) 17:49, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - A website's claim that all of its hosted content falls under CC is not compelling, nor does it have any affect whatsoever on the photographer's assertion of copyright. If the photographer wishes to release the images under a CC license, they need to either communicate that by publicly posting such notice for example, on a website that they control, or by contacting an OTRS volunteer with sufficient information to convince the volunteer that they are the copyright holder and that they are willing to license the work under CC.- MrX 16:18, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
Of course a websites claim as to how it hosts content effects the rights under which the content is released for everything on that site, that is exactly how free licence websites work. Alanscottwalker (talk) 02:17, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
  •  Support The photo is currently on the White House website [5] and their copyright/licensing policy is clear [6]. Apparently the White House hasn't heard that we've determined that this is a copyrighted photo that they shouldn't be licensing CC-BY-3.0. And of course what the White House says about the licensing has much more weight that anything we, or an anonymous OTRS ticket can have. See also [7] Smallbones (talk) 17:22, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
  •  Support. The United States Government states that the content is in the public domain, and that trumps (pardon the expression) any claim made in an OTRS ticket. If there is a bona fide dispute over the validity of that claim, it should be fought someplace other than via an anonymous, secret OTRS ticket. Coretheapple (talk) 18:02, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
    No, nobody placed this image in the public domain. Look at the license again. -SusanLesch (talk) 21:23, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
  •  Support. In the absence of a credible and specific claim by the photographer that image is licensed improperly by the White House, there is insufficient reason to delete these files. Concerns about the reputability of the president himself are irrelevant. Deli nk (talk) 20:44, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - It wouldn't be the first time a USGov website host improperly licensed content (or fails to properly identify third-party content not falling under standard licenses). If multiple OTRS agents and Wikimedia Legal consider the original request valid then we have no choice than to keep the images deleted here.--Denniss (talk) 20:57, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
  •  Support The US government pays for the transition activities of the President-elect.[8] Moreover, there is no reasonable doubt let alone "substantial doubt" about the public release that all content on the White House site has is under free CC licence. The free CC release is public and indisputable.[9] Any claim that the release of this work is not public and indisputable has no basis in fact - you cannot take back that CC licence. Alanscottwalker (talk) 01:59, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
  •  Oppose. OTRS agent (verify): per COM:PRP and due to the info given in the OTRS ticket. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 01:24, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Note: Doug also took this picture which was taken from the WhiteHouse facebook feed during the inauguration, Doug did not seem pleased that his White House image was taken from Wikimedia instead of the WH but he did not mention anything about licensing in his post, are we really making a mountain out of a molehill?, his only issue perhaps was that in that Presidential/VP portraits, his name was not tagged as the Author (mainly because his name did not appear in the exif so there was no way of knowing who took that image at that time)..If thats the issue, it can be rectified by him being tagged as the author and possibly the license changed to a more acceptable, cc-by 4.0 instead of public domain. --Stemoc 03:07, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
    @Stemoc: If OTRS receives an acceptable license from the copyright holder (and one was specifically requested), then the files will of course be undeleted. Given the amount of time that has passed since the request was made, it seems unlikely. - Reventtalk 18:10, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Multiple OTRS agents continue to assert that these images need to remain deleted, and that Wikimedia does not have permission to use them. OTRS have been given ample opportunity to evaluate the situation and understand arguments presented here and elsewhere, and if they continue to object based on confidential information in the OTRS ticket then that must be allowed to stand. This is exactly what OTRS are there for, and they must be allowed to do their job. Until an editor is able get a signed release from the copyright holder (assumed to be the photographer, unless OTRS knows differently), and provide that to OTRS, this will continue to be the case. As I understand from discussions with OTRS agents in IRC, WMF Legal have evaluated the situation and are happy with OTRS' decision in this matter. TheDragonFire (talk) 06:15, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
@TheDragonFire: If I recall correctly they merely stated that the images were not in the public domain and failed to clarify if they were CC. As suggested above by Jonatan Svensson Glad under the user Josve05a this was probably due to COM:PRP, and not a thorough analysis of the licence. This whole situation also fails to explain images like File:Donald Trump at inauguration.jpg, which were purportedly taken by the same photographer. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 14:49, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
@Emir of Wikipedia: It doesn't 'explain' them because they were not mentioned in the ticket or the DR.... I did not, personally, go hunting for any other images by Doug Coulter on Commons. Feel free to open a DR regarding that image, however... the license is rather clearly wrong, and it's probably also a copyvio. - Reventtalk 18:11, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
@Emir of Wikipedia and Spellcast: I should note that Commons:PRP is policy, and is not just overridable. A ticket from the the photographer could easily constitute the significant doubt required under that policy and if you have OTRS saying so then that is fairly hard to rebut. I have however, had a discussion with Yann over IRC and that has created doubt in my mind that the interpretation of the ticket is correct and hence I'm stricking my !vote. OTRS needs to work this out amongst themselves. TheDragonFire (talk) 10:47, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
There is no substantial doubt, because despite the image being deleted here (based on whatever was misconstrued in a supposedly secret communication), it is still to this day downloadable publicly by the whole world under the written CC licence, and thus without doubt within Commons policy to say 'it's from that government website with that CC licence.' -- Alanscottwalker (talk) 01:37, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
@Alanscottwalker: Please read meta:OTRS before scaremongering about "supposedly secret communication". I do believe that there is significant doubt as OTRS has been unable to verify that the license granted to the US Government was in fact the license claimed on the White House website and have explicitly requested deletion per COM:PRP based on confidential information in the OTRS ticket. Beyond that, no-one without OTRS access has been able to add much to the discussion than speculation. One OTRS member has expressed concerns, but OTRS are more than capable of discussing that amongst themselves. TheDragonFire (talk) 12:11, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
So you repeat there is supposedly secret information which deletion is based upon, yet you object to it being called supposedly secret information - that's not scare mongering that's just what it is. It remains that the file is downloadable by the whole world under the CC licence right now, there is no doubt about it, whatsoever. Alanscottwalker (talk) 14:46, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
  •  Support I can't really agree with the deletion, although I can't say why without discussing the content of the ticket. I will add a note in the ticket. I can add that, in my opinion, only a DMCA could invalidate the White House Copyright policy. This official policy trumps a private email (pun intended). Regards, Yann (talk) 10:18, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
  •  Support So let me get this straight. The White House site explicitly says third party content is under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License unless noted. There is no note for this image. Then we have an email from someone purporting to be the photographer rebutting that license? If true, shouldn't that issue be between the photographer and the White House - NOT Commons - especially since the photographer did NOT make a DMCA takedown request. The OTRS team should have told the photographer something along the lines of: 'We are unable to determine whether your copyright claim or the White House copyright claim is correct. The Wikimedia projects, including Commons, are merely repositories which reflect existing information provided by reputable and reliable sources. And since an official government website claims this work is CC, any legal objections should be directed towards them." Spellcast (talk) 10:29, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Summary

This is going to go on ad nauseam, so I think it's time to slow down the pile on. Feel free to continue discussing above but please read the following before posting.

Statements by OTRS:

Statements by Administrators:

It appears as this summary is contradicted by the actual edit rather, we are proposing that the private photographer granted to the White House the right to sublicense these images under a Creative Commons license. That's what the White House's website indicates. I understand that the OTRS ticket refutes the public domain claim, but does it also prove that the photographer never agreed to let the White House sublicense these photographs (or never issued such a license himself)? I see no confirmation in the statement saying that is is not under CC. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 21:51, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Issue at Hand: COM:PRP, a Commons policy, states that where there is significant doubt about the freedom of a particular file, it should be deleted. OTRS has made it very clear that the images are not public domain, and that does not appear to be particularly in dispute. The point which the closing administrator will need to consider, is whether there is significant doubt as to whether the image is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License. Hence it should be noted that proof of an infringement is not needed. TheDragonFire (talk) 12:01, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

I don't have OTRS access but if the photographer explicitly rejected the public domain license but made no comment to the White House's CC-BY-3.0 license, then I find that very telling. It would only constitute "significant doubt" if the copyright holder gave any shred of evidence explicitly rejecting the CC license, but there doesn't seem to even be a mere claim from him that the CC license is wrong! Correct me if I'm wrong on that. Spellcast (talk) 13:31, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
I think the point is that OTRS cannot reveal if there has been such a claim or not, and continually badgering the volunteers to tango with their confidentiality agreement isn't going to get us anywhere. At this rate, OTRS will probably organise for this to be an office action and that will be the end of it. TheDragonFire (talk) 14:00, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
Thus there is no significant doubt, pretending someone disputes a public and prominent licence - in private - is describing the very opposite of asserting or protecting a copyright over a work that is -- right this minute -- publically and prominently licensed for the whole world to download. Alanscottwalker (talk) 20:06, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
We are not concluding a lack of license due to the absence of a licensing email. We are concluding a lack of license based on substantive statements in the ticket. Once again, I cannot say more. It is very interesting and frustrating how community members take what limited statements OTRS agents are allowed to make and extrapolate from them whatever they please so long as it supports their view. At the end of the day, you have multiple Commons admins and trusted Commons editors who are OTRS agents universally looking at this ticket and saying "We must delete this." Is that genuinely worth nothing? ~ Rob13Talk 17:05, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

 Not done: I have to agree with BU Rob13. I have little to add to the statements already provided by Revent and Josve at the original DR and Revent’s talk page. I don’t think it’s healthy too let a situation continue in which volunteers are at risk off violating their confidentiality agreement because the statements of OTRS-agents are twisted/misused. The ticket itself creates significant doubt which is the threshold we have to apply, not explicit evidence that a file is a copyright violation. And I have to say, this discussion hasn’t exactly helped saving the files. Please realise (meanth as a general note since experience learns that resolving issue's witht hird parties becomes much harder when we have a heavy debate) that everyone can read this page and that certain comments make photographers more reluctant to help us out. This decision is final and I would like to ask everyone to respect this. --Natuur12 (talk) 18:14, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Tiven2240‬ identified this picture of a book as a possible copyright violation. But he or she is mistaken. The book itself -- and the cover art -- were published in 1924, and are therefore in the public domain. The picture was taken by me, and I signed the creative commons consent form. There is therefore no basis for deleting it.

--Bverter (talk) 02:27, 12 June 2017 (UTC) 11 June 2017

@Bverter: More precisely, Tiven2240‬ tagged it and Moheen Reeyad deleted it. Where was it first published, when was it published in the US, who wrote it, who illustrated or photographed for the cover, and when did they all die?   — Jeff G. ツ 03:08, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
@Jeff G.: The image is a photograph of two books together, one of which is apparently a first edition of a book published in New York in 1924.
@Bverter: You are incorrect, in that a 1924 work published in the United States is not necessarily in the public domain. The cutoff date is 1923, and will not start moving again until 2019. A 1924 US publication needs evidence that it was either published without a copyright notice, or a copyright renewal search. - Reventtalk 03:17, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
@Jeff G.: I'm actually doing the 'renewal search' I mentioned right now.... the book was indeed registered, however, as A815379 with a date of 22 Dec 1924. - Reventtalk 03:35, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
And with that, it pops up. Gregory Zilboorg, the translator, filed renewal R101210 on 22 October 1952. @Bverter: The US first edition will not enter the public domain (in the US) until 2020. - Reventtalk 03:39, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

To whom it may concern,

My name is Max Aquino. I am the photographer that took the photo of Will Bruin and I also hold all copyrights to said photo. It was initially posted on my twitter account here: https://twitter.com/maxaquinophoto/status/871574515255463936. Please undelete the photo.

@Maxaquinophoto: Because wiki accounts are inherently anonymous, we have no way of knowing that the person behind your account is actually the owner of the Twitter account where the image was first published (and we see such false claims quite often, unfortunately). The easiest way to resolve this is for you just to reply to your original tweet stating that you are releasing the image under a CC-BY-SA-4.0 license. - Reventtalk 03:52, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
@Revent: I placed the license release in the reply of the tweet as requested. Note: I'm not sure if it's "Will_Bruin_Sounders.jpg" or "Will Bruin Sounders.jpg"- MaxAquinoPhoto — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maxaquinophoto (talk • contribs) 04:46, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Dear admin, I do really appreciate the work done and the control by bots that regularly do to our addings at Wikipedia. However, I would ask for the undeletion of the above stated picture. Based on the image laws in Japan as well as the copyright laws of the 48 holdings groups, any fan attending a photo event who takes pictures of the idol with her and her manager's permission has the rights to use the pictures.as its own. He is the owner of these rights and neither the member idol or the management company shall make any approach regarding the picture since it has been done by a free individual. Since, in this case, I am the fan who took the picture with the permission, I would request the undelition and the subsequent reupload.

Sincerely,

Jeff, I disagree strongly. The uploader, User:Biewerlover, put a cc-by-sa-4.0 license on the images. We deleted them because they appeared on the web site http://www.biewerworld.com/. We now have an OTRS e-mail coming from an address at that domain confirming that User:Biewerlover is the owner of the web site.

File:G. Hokken.jpeg and File:Jan van Bommel.jpeg

Please undelete those files. They are freely licened at Europeana by the municipality of Schouwen Duivenland. Acusing a municipality of copyfraud without any further evidence other than not knowing who the author is, is pretty much ridiculous. Since when don’t we trust official bodies who have the resourced too let an expert assess the situation before donating? For the attribution issue: please see Carl’s comment at Commons:Deletion requests/File:C.H. Linde.jpeg. Natuur12 (talk) 22:07, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose Actually, I have found that Europeana's contributors have claimed the right to freely license images that they do not, in fact, have the right to. Municipalities have no reason to be copyright experts and as we all well know, many people believe that if you own a paper copy of a photograph, you have right to freely license it. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 23:53, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

  • Is this merely your opinion or do you have evidence to back this up? (Not trying to be offensive, just curious too find out why you had a different experience with this source than I had.) Please realise that a municipality has many experts on board including people with legal expertise and that the source is financially supported by the EU. How can we, the commons novices actually know better than they? . Natuur12 (talk) 00:32, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
I can't cite cases, but I do know that I have run into this question with Europeana before. I doubt very much that Schouwen-Duiveland, with 33,000 inhabitants, has any lawyers on staff and certainly not a copyright expert. It seems very likely to me that someone decided to make publicly available a number of photographs from the municipal archive and did not consider copyright at all or, if they did, assumed, as many of our new users do, that the fact that the municipality owned the paper copy of the image gave it the right to freely license it. .     Jim . . .

They have a pretty large archive and this page provides some information about the images in their archive. (They only donated a part off their collection via Europeana). They state here that not all images are available via their archive because they don't own the copyright which means they do research and not just drop every scan they have in a database without checking the legal status. Here they claim even more explicitly that they own the copyright of the images. Natuur12 (talk) 12:05, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
This allows me to  Support undeletion. While I have no opinion on the trustworthiness of licenses on Europeana in general, I don't think it's reasonable to require much more than an explicit claim of copyright ownership and a clear sense that they know which things in their collection they do and don't hold the copyright to.

@Jjanhone: The page on Google Photos is not really reliable evidence that the copyright holder themselves actually released the image under that license... anyone could have created that page (see COM:License laundering). We need clear evidence that the license was granted by the owner. - Reventtalk 06:24, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
The Google account is owned by Heli Malinen. She works at Fitfarm marketing, see [10]. What kind of evidence do you suggest? An email from Heli from Fitfarm address to whom? What is the proper place to donate photos to Commons? Anyone can create a Flickr account too so that is no good either. --Jjanhone (talk) 07:32, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Commons:File:Anthony Benjamin Headshot.jpg TO UNDELETE ALL (7) IMAGES

Nancy Patterson owns the copyrights for all images posted on the Anthony Benjamin wiki page. All images and information posted by AbbessesArt are done on behalf of Ms Patterson and the Anthony Benjamin Trust and are in relation to such requests.

Please undelete the following (7) images:

AbbessesArt (talk) 14:42, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose You say that "Nancy Patterson owns the copyrights for all images posted on the Anthony Benjamin wiki page". That seems unlikely. These are a collection of art works and photographs. In both cases, owning a physical copy of the work does not mean that one owns the copyright. The copyrights almost certainly reside with the photographers and the artist or their heirs.

 Oppose First, it is unlikely that the subject of the image owns the right to freely license it. That almost always remains with the photographer. Second, "to be used on his Wikipedia page" is insufficient. Images on Commons and WP must be free for use anywhere by anyone for any purpose.

File:Jenő Hódi.jpg to undelete

I would like to request to undelete this image since I am the owner of it. I am Jenő Hódi and I have previously uploaded this image to several sites, such as my own http://www.budapestfilmacademy.com/ that is why there could be some copyright issues. Please help me to keep this file.--Hodijeno (talk) 13:39, 14 June 2017 (UTC)Hodijeno, 14/06/2017

 Oppose There are two problems with this file: We need permission from the copyright holder to host this file under a free licence. Unless this is an image you took yourself, the copyright is almost always held by the original photographer and not by the subject depicted in the photo. Next, even if you made this photo yourself, we need to be sure that you are really Jenő Hódi. We get a lot of fake user accounts and impostors every day who claim to be a person when they are in fact someone else. So the original photographer has to send a permission by email (please see COM:OTRS for instructions). If you created this yourself, you could also put a disclaimer on your website releasing the image under a free license. De728631 (talk) 14:23, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Ok then following your guidelines. Czapski died in 1904, 120 years ago which would make the limit 1897, seven years before he passed away. The photograph taken of him is most likely taken quite a few years before. I have another photo of him taken before 1897 and he looks quite a bit older. The photograph can be dated because he is holding in his arms his eldest daughter, who is less than a year old, and she was born in 1895. --Gzegosh (talk) 01:06, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Requesting Undeletion

Requesting Undeletion of file https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dr._Rav_Sharan_Singh.jpg

Thank You Greatica (talk)

@Greatica: For what reason do you want this file to be undeleted? ★Poyekhali 08:41, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello Poyekhali, for being a commons/general file, thats all Thank You Greatica (talk)

Come on Man I already discussed the whole thing for getting publishing an image on a free licence here (Same Image Upload Removed Still (https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Hedwig_in_Washington&actionsection=13) Now anybody comes up and ask you to do the same thing for getting a free image published what will you do. Go over the same thing time and again for a public domain image. Even showing policies being adhered too for my image. Imagine what would be the case if I had chosen another Commons licence.

Thank You Greatica (talk)

Read COM:SCOPE. Twice so that you can understand. The reason why this file is deleted is because the file is out of our project's scope and is self-promotional content. Commons strictly don't allow promotional content. You are not reading the deletion reason, are you? ★Poyekhali 09:12, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

What scope does my image does not fit in? Now when you write something/source about an individual you have to back that up. Am I wrong. Obviously No. And when perfect source is mine with the image, you say that is promotional. In layman terms we call it spreading the word for the good of all (purpose/knowledge/education/degree etc.), but if you use business term then all words are related to promotional/profit only. Even if I want to put an image of a guy being jumping from an aeroplane using source as my site you will say it promotional but in reality it is spreading word. People would want to know why that guy jumped or so. The same goes with my case spreading the word without any advertising just releasing in public domain, knowing about that person that's all.

What was my mistake apart from spreading the word of image who have worked so hard just to get some notification around in here. Earlier too I followed all protocols regarding email verification/ticket no. But now when I uploaded another image, comes the reason promotional/advertisement/scope. What is this ? Come on man give honesty a chance and do upload the same. Thank You Greatica (talk)

 Oppose As a general rule, we do not keep images of people unless they are notable. That generally means that someone has written a WP article about them. We also do not keep promotional images, see COM:ADVERT. This is not even a close call -- it is obviously not within Commons scope and violates COM:ADVERT. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs)

Now WP credentials and notability and still the promotional word (in fact spreading). The closest call is to see this as proof https://www.practo.com/patiala/doctor/dr-rav-sharan-dermatologist-cosmetologist#recommended. & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Practo_Health & http://ahrsindia.org/ahrs-india-membership.html Come on man do it this time now. Thank You Greatica (talk)

Carnaval de Paris 2011

Bonjour,

Je m'appelle Bernard Jean-Marc. Je suis passionné notamment par l'informatique, la photographie, l'histoire sociale, l'histoire de Paris et de ses fêtes.

Je suis de près depuis nombre d'années le remarquable et très généreux travail bénévole de mon ami Basile Pachkoff, dit Basili ou Basilou, pour la renaissance du Carnaval de Paris.

Quand je prends des photos de Basile, naturellement je les lui offre. Il a souhaité mettre de mes photos dans Wikipédia. J'ai bien sûr accepté. Il m'a demandé si je souhaitais voir apparaître mon nom. J'ai trouvé plus simple qu'il indique être l'auteur de mes photos.

Cette manière de faire a fonctionné durant longtemps. Mais voilà que très judicieusement un contributeur consciencieux a fait remarquer que des photos où Basile figurait ne pouvait pas être faites par lui.

C'est pourquoi j'ai créé mon compte sur Commons afin de clarifier la situation en indiquant quand des photos étaient de Bernard Jean-Marc et pas de Basili ou Basilou.

Je félicite et remercie le contributeur consciencieux et précis qui a montré par son initiative qu'il veille avec attention au bon fonctionnement de Wikipédia et Commons !

Paris, le 6 juin 2017

Bernard Jean-Marc

Don't do it at all. The file got deleted and the undeletion request didn't get approved. Or did it? I already told you multiple times that even with an OTRS ticket we do not accept spam. Why is that so difficult to understand? Do your hair club advertising in a newspaper or wherever you like. Wrong website for advertisements.

even after giving all proofs/laymanism yesterday (no less than applausible credibility) you are still giving me the same reason advertising common reason which my image is not doing. The other administrator also approved with me. Why are you wasting your valuable time arguing for a case which we all know who is correct, but opposing this image which has so much value, scope and credibility in it?

No entiendo porque se elimina una fotografia que es de mi propiedad y que permito que se difunda libremente. Ademas se trata de una foto de mi bisabuelo — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.42.246.179 (talk) 17:16, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose First, these are not your "own work" as claimed. Making incorrect claims that you are the photographer just wastes your time and ours. Second, owning a paper copy of a photograph does not give you the right to freely license it. That right is almost always held by the photographer and his heirs. These are too recent to assume that the photographer has been dead for 80 years, as required by Spanish law at the time these were taken. Our current practice is to wait 130 years in countries where the rule is PMA 80, so without information about the photographer's death, we cannot keep these until 2030 and 2032. .     Jim . . .

File:Count Karol Hutten-Czapski.jpg

Maybe is maybe..in this case incorrect to delete the image. 1. Its over 100 years old. 2. The original image belongs to me, inherited from my family(from my mother, who inherited from her grandmother Maria Czpaska nee Puslwoska, who was Karol Czapskis wife. In other words Karol Czapski was my great grandfather 3. The image is already in the public domain, as an example an image is used in Belarus for a postcard. If persisting to delete it, would please ask on what basis Thank you

--Gzegosh (talk) 04:33, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose

  1. A hundred years is not a long time in copyright matters. We generally do not assume that the photographer has been dead for 70 years unless the image is at least 120 years old. see {{PD-old-assumed}}
  2. Owning a paper or digital copy of a photograph does not give you the right to freely license it. That right is almost always held by the photographer or his heirs.
  3. Using an image on a postcard does not somehow put it into the public domain. Postcards are copyrighted just like other created works.

This shows Karol Hutten-Czapski (1860-1904)). He was not a count until 1896 when his father died. He was not particularly notable until he became president of Minsk in 1890. Therefore, it is a fair guess that this postcard image is from after that, so it is questionable under our test in (1). .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:38, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

@Gzegosh: if the image was used on a postcard, the postcard publishing date (and country) may matter. If it is a modern postcard, the image may still be copyrighted in the US. Ankry (talk) 13:20, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
Ankry, according to the WP article I cited above, he was a Polish Count who served as president of Minsk, in Lithuania. Both Poland and Lithuania are 70 year countries. I agree that Minsk is now in Belarus, so there may be a question there, but I think we still have a significant doubt here. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:25, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
@Jameslwoodward: We cannot consider Lithuania as an independent state for pre-1918 (unless you mean en:Grand Duchy of Lithuania). I assume that "Lithuania" in this context means either Russian Empire province or geographical/historical region. At least during whole Czapski's life. But it probably does not matter here, either (I am afraid it is a modern postcard). Ankry (talk) 17:05, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
You certainly know eastern European history far better than I -- all I know is in Karol Hutten-Czapski. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (]]User talk:Jameslwoodward|talk to me]]) 17:29, 14 June 2017 (UTC)


Editors photo is used at https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karol_Hutten-Czapski or Karol Hutten-Czapski Karol is long dead, the photographer, unkown is long dead, When Belarus, (not Lithuania) used this image for the postcard, they did not request any copyright permission. This image was never published in the US. I really dont understand what the issue is here..The image was of Karol was used in various books such as https://searchworks.stanford.edu/view/10502265 after page 224, Illustration number 10, as well as in various other editions such as http://www.montbel.com/czapska-comtesse-maria-une-famille-d-europe-centrale-lacurne,fr,4,M178.cfm as well as https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=11532326350&searchurl=sortby%3D17%26an%3Dmaria%2Bczapska. This photo is in the public domain.--Gzegosh (talk) 19:10, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

@Gzegosh: We must assume, in the absence of specific evidence, that the copyright in the image belongs to the photographer. For the image to be in the public domain, the photographer must have died prior to 1946 (70 years ago). When the date of death of the photographer is unknown, the community has decided to not accept images that are not evidenced to be at least 120 years old, on the grounds that there is a reasonable chance that the work is still under copyright. Commons policies favor deletion in cases where the status of the image is not clearly established. - Reventtalk 23:30, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Ok then following your guidelines. Czapski died in 1904, 120 years ago would make the limit 1897, seven years before he passed away. The photograph taken is most likely taken quite a few years before the time limit. I have another photo of him taken before 1897 and he looks quite a bit older. The photograph can be dated because he is holding in his arms his eldest daughter, who is less than a year old, and she was born in 1895. --Gzegosh (talk) 01:06, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

File:Donald Trump official portrait.jpg

Whitehouse.gov shows that this photo is indeed fair use and therefore I believe it should be undeleted and reinstated as the portrait on Donald Trump's page. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 2600:8803:4000:FE:39D7:5047:9C46:A426 (talk) 09:09, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose "Fair use" is not permitted on Commons, so that is not a reason to restore the image. The fact the image appears on Whitehouse.gov says nothing about its copyright status. It is well established that the image was taken by Doug Coulter (who is not a Federal employee) in December of 2016 before Trump assumed office and therefore there is every reason to believe that it is under copyright.
Note, by the way, that this is not unusual.

FILE:TomHUCK drawing.jpg

I am requesting an undeletion of the file mentioned from the Tom Huck article. It is a photo I took of Tom Huck at work and while it is also in use on his website www.evilprints.com, I have full permission from the artist to add it to his wikipedia page and I give my permission as the one who took the photo. It should not be under copyright as I used both a different edit version of the image than that which appears on the website and am the owner of said image.--Lessl (talk) 00:01, 18 June 2017 (UTC) , employee of Tom Huck's Evil Prints

 Oppose First, all created works are copyrighted upon creation, so "It should not be under copyright" is impossible. Second, "full permission from the artist to add it to his wikipedia page" is not sufficient -- images on Commons and WP must be freely licensed for any use anywhere by anybody, including commercial use and derivative works.
There are two copyrights here, the first for the photograph and the second for the painting Huck is working on (the other works are arguably de minimis). The photograph appears at http://www.evilprints.com/the-shop/ without a free license, so policy requires that the photographer must send a free license using OTRS. Tom Huck must, himself, send a license for the painting using OTRS. Note that I would be surprised if Huck were willing to freely license the painting since such a license would allow others to make and sell tee shirts and posters of the painting..     Jim . . .

File:Mao Zedong portrait.jpg

Please restore the following pages:

Reason:

  • FoP in mainland China seems more border than in other countries. There are no detailed regulations on 2D or 3D, commercial or uncommercial use, etc. The copyright law itself only claimed doing so is legal.
  • According to a previous case, a photograph of a statue, even cropped to fit into a phone card is still considered legal. So Jcb and several other Wikimedians' comment "not a panorama" in the deletion request is groundless.
  • Article 22 (10) stated that photos of an "artistic work" apply. "Artistic work" should not only include statues, but also other forms of work. Photos should be "artistic work" according to Article 3.
  • Another judicial interpretation released by the supreme court of P.R. China, Article 18 claims that photos are in the scope of "artistic works".
  • Also, Article 18 of that interpretation claims that "The photographer, imitator, painter, and cameraman of the artistic work can use their works in a reasonable range and methods, and should not be considered violating copyright".
  • Files on Wikimedia Commons should be free content. That means it can be used for commercial. This explanation released by the supreme court suggested that it could be used for commercial purposes.

I forwarded all the messages from three months ago to the permissions email address, so I was assigned ticket:2017061910006327. Also, I sent in the above deleted photo via email. Therefore, the above photo should be undeleted. --George Ho (talk) 08:40, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose First, the ticket number you cite is from today, not three months ago. In the e-mail contained there you claim that because you commissioned the work, you are the copyright owner. That is rarely the case and, since you do not know the name of the photographer, cannot possibly be the case here. In order for you to have the right to freely license the image, you would have to have a written agreement, signed by the photographer, transferring the right to you. If you had such an agreement, you would obviously know the name of the photographer. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:13, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

File:Photo wikiwipedia ej.jpg

Destinataires: Taivo, Daphné Lantier, Jcb Je ne comprends pourquoi ces deux photographies de moi-même (Emile Jalley) ont été supprimées, et au surplus sans aucun débat. L'image d'Emile Jalley a disparu du site Emile Jalley Wikipédia, où elle avait été installée apparemment sans problème. La première image a été fabriquée par le Studio Filmage Express Tel 09 54 68 73 35, au cours d'une excursion organisé par le CCAS (Comité et Centre d'Action Sociale) de la Mairie d'Antony (92160)chez Gégène à Joinville-Le-Pont le mercredi 7 juin 2017. Ce studio autorise la reproduction par les clients de tous les travaux effectués à leur propos. Ils le confirment par téléphone. Faut-il de plus une autorisation spéciale, et laquelle? Cela devient vraiment très compliqué. La seconde photographie est un découpage adapté fabriqué par moi-même à partir de la première. On aimerait beaucoup que les réponses soient faites de manière plus personnalisée,, et en français s'il vous plaît. Merci. J'ai 82 ans, ai publié 20 000 pages dans ma vie, mais je ne comprends rien aux nouvelles procédures requises par les exigences de la communication moderne.

File:Aldrin Gemini XII 1.jpg, File:Aldrin Gemini XII 2.jpg, File:Aldrin Gemini XII 3.jpg and File:Aldrin Gemini XII 4.jpg

Filing this on behalf of DM18WM (talk · contribs). This is what he/she wrote on my talk page:

Badzil - Following up on our discussion late last month. I'm requesting that you undelete all of the files that you deleted, and restore the subject article to the status that it was in before you deleted all of the photos.

The following list of photo files that you deleted are historical artifact property owned by my brother and myself, based on inheriting the photos and digitized files from our father, G. Samuel Mattingly, upon his death in November 2014.

Cernan Gemini IX 1.jpg Aldrin Gemini XII 1.jpg Aldrin Gemini XII 2.jpg Aldrin Gemini XII 3.jpg Aldrin Gemini XII 4.jpg

My use of "historical artifact" terminology is no exaggeration. Smithsonian published a video presentation on 19 March 2015. At 8:30 into the 40-minute video, the presenter, Dr. Michael Neufeld, discusses the accomplishments of my father, Sam Mattingly, and his company, Environmental Research Associates. I hope you will take a few minutes to review part or all of this video.

https://airandspace.si.edu/events/training-underwater-walking-space

Bottom line: My father, brother, and I never established ownership of these photos and digital files based on our assumption that these photos are/were physical and intellectual property of my father and his company. My father was still alive when we chose to make our photos available in the public domain and uploaded our photos to Wikimedia in early 2012 and used them to support the subject article.

I hope this information provides sufficient rationale for you to undelete each of the photos that you deleted.

Thanks. Badzil (talk) 19:16, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Hmm. It is not entirely clear who owns the copyright to these. Since the note speaks of "my father and his company", they do not appear to be works of US government employees. Most technical companies have work for hire agreements in place with all of their staff, so it seems most likely that the copyrights are owned by the company, Environmental Research Associates. In that case, an authorized official of the company must send a free license using OTRS. If that is not the case for some reason, then it needs to be explained here. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:24, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi Jim - I hope you're able to read this text insertion. My name's Dave. I'll look into the OTRS process. Before doing that, my brother (Randy) and I plan to meet with a copyright lawyer in early July with intent to clear all of this up. My dad is/was Sam Mattingly (half-owner of Environmental Research Associates (ERA)).

I just received a (hopefully helpful) update from the guy who worked as the official photographer for ERA. His name is Donald Lloyd. I'm inserting all content from Mr. Lloyd's email here:

<email content redacted. do not paste private emails here—use OTRS >

Back to Dave, wrapping up - We "get" the importance of demonstrating ownership. In the meantime, these photos are not controversial, political, or provocative. They are important historical artifacts that support the story that my dad wrote and I uploaded successfully into Wikipedia. I hope you'll consider a temporary period for us to complete our efforts to establish legal ownership and/or do the OTRS process. In the meantime, since we had barely a week's notice before our photos were deleted, we hope you'll consider undeleting all of our photos for the rest of the month of June and July 2017.

Thanks for considering -

I have redacted the email you pasted above, which contained both private email addresses and personal information. This is precisely what we have the OTRS system set up for, please use it. Please do not paste email addresses or private correspondence on the (very) public and high-traffic wiki again. Storkk (talk) 20:23, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
No, sorry, it doesn't work that way -- it is up to you to prove that you (and not ERA) have the right to freely license the images or, in the alternate, to get an authorized official of ERA to send a free license using OTRS. When and if that is done, the images will be restored automatically. We get 10,000 new images every day and must delete 1,700 of them. We have no mechanism for keeping images while waiting for a license which may or may not ever come. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 09:55, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi Poem,
Thanks for your notice.
I've already sent the Official Copyright Authorization Letter to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org,
and received reply email and got the no. [Ticket#: 2016081210011528].
Thank you for your kindly help. (from Morgana Lok)


Ms. Lui and I are the copyright owner of the article. We wrote in May 2016, that was an official article for introduce Ms. Lui, and Ms. Lui also signed the Official Copyright Authorization Letter and sent to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org on 2016.08.13 12:12am, we received the reply email which sent out from "Permissions - Chinese Wikimedia <permissions-zh@wikimedia.org>" by Jimmy Xu is "我們已經收到了您對文本的授權信" and "感謝您提供文本授權" ! As we are the copyright owner and wiki media also received our Copyright Authorization Letter, so please explain what's the meaning of "您創建的條目雷晴雯可能侵犯版權" that you left on my page?

Besides, I'm also the copyright owner of the photo File:雷晴雯 Winnie.jpg which on the list of "Deletion requests" ! Please give me a reason why the photo need to delete as that was a snap of Ms. Lui which I taken on 2016.04.21 at a Drama Premiere, the name of the programme is "Welcome to My Next Life"? Are you kidding me? I'm the writer and the photographer, Wiki received our Official Copyright Authorization Letter since 2016.08.16, we also got the replied email by Jimmy Xu,and he wrote that "Thank you for providing the text authorization to Wiki" I'm really sorry for I never heard that the copyright owner using her/his articles/photos is "Infringement of Copyright" ! It's absolutely unreasonable and outrageous !!! This is the most ridiculous that I never heard before !!!!!

You said we Infringement of Copyright from others just because you didn't and never check the official authorization document between Wiki and us, "Infringement of Copyright" was only just you mind, you "think" but that's not the truth, as you are an administer, I absolutely cannot accept your "delete decision" as that's too injustice ! Please double check the document and copyright authorization for Wiki, all evidence can prove that Ms. Lui and I are the copyright owner ! If necessary, I can show you the print screen of Jimmy Xu's replied email, the full set document, and the whole set photos which I taken for Ms. Lui at "Welcome to My Next Life" Premiere to you anytime to clarify and prove that it's your misunderstanding !!! WE ARE THE COPYRIGHT OWNER and the copyright authorization for Wiki . Please note and understanding that infringement of copyright is a very serious accusation. Thanks for your kindly attention !

Ms. Lui and I absolutely cannot accept this most ridiculous, unreasonable and such injustice case has been happened !!!!!!! Please help to follow up this weird, shockable and illogical case as we both felt that the one who left message to me , one of the administer of Wiki who named "B dash" , we are willing to provide the same Official Copyright Authorization Letter which sent to Wiki on 2016.08.13 at 12:12am and received by Jimmy Xu of Wiki to you again by email for you all double check again !

Please note and understanding that as Ms. Lui is working as a Chief Editor and Writer for over 20 years, "infringement of copyright" is the most terrible, the biggest and the most serious accusation and insult, it can completely ruin her professional and slander on her good reputation.

Thank you so much for your kindly help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morganalok (talk • contribs) 01:48, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Ticket:2016081210011528 is likely invalid. No specific work is being licensed in that ticket, and if I am reading correctly it purports to cover works authored by numerous distinct authors. @Jimmy Xu: could you please correct me if my understanding is wrong? Storkk (talk) 07:38, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
 Oppose regardless of the validity of the ticket, since File:雷晴雯 Winnie.jpg has not been deleted, and this page is for undeletion requests. Note also that owning a copy of a photograph does not make you the copyright holder: we need authorization from the photographer in the ticket.

  •  Oppose - I had these deleted as IMHO these were crap (I only upload images that I personally believe will be used and or of use to the project), Ofcourse I we all judge things differently here I understand that but during my time here I've seen many people blocked for uploading crap images hence my "standards",
That all being said I've only just found out that images that are deleted cannot be reuploaded with Flickr2Commons so I've raised the issue at BitBucket,
if there's a way of reuploading this that isn't under my name then I'd be more than happy to support,
Also just want to state that from now onwards I shan't be requesting images to be deleted instead I'll somehow have to individually pick them - Had I realised F2C didn't reupload then ofcourse I wouldn't of done it this way in the first place but it's common sense - You'd think they can be reuploaded without any problems....

Doctor Who Experience photos

These files were deleted due to "No license". I imported them using the Flickr2Commons tool, which normally takes care of the licencing. Obviously it didn't. All of these images are public domain, which can be verified with the below links:

File:Zamiatin WE.jpg

These processes went very quickly, and I did not have the chance to respond before the above file was deleted and the discussion closed. So I'm trying again. If I'm not doing this correctly, apologies. I'd be grateful for guidance on communications through Talk or whatever the preferred platform it.

Anyway, I just reviewed your comments regarding File:Zamiatin WE.jpg at

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Undeletion_requests/Archive

A few responses:

1. There is only one book pictured here. The black thing behind the book is a slipcase.

2. Zilboorg renewed the rights to his translation, which is not relevant here. The photograph is of the physical book, not of the text. Similarly, I think photographs of the covers Ernest Hemingway's early books are fine, reprinting a Hemingway story is not. Hemingway did not own the copyright to the covers of his books.

3. I think you're right that copyright to the image on the cover probably rested with the artist, or more likely the publisher. But the artist is uncredited, and the publisher surely failed to renew copyright on a book that lapsed out of print in 1924.

4. Later reprints had totally different cover art.

5. Although I think the editorial decisions were hasty here, I recognize the importance of your efforts to protect both the rights of copyright holders and the legal position of Wikimedia commons, and salute you for that.

Best regards,

--Bverter (talk) 15:08, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

@Bverter: The copyright in the cover design might have belonged to the publisher or an artist, and might not have been registered or renewed. To be honest, we do not know (and it's probably undeterminable). The book is recent enough that it is still possibly under copyright, and the check for registration and renewal I did was simply to see if we could establish that the formalities were not complied with... if the book had entered the PD, that would be an indication that the cover art might have as well.. As it stands, however, we don't have any evidence that the artwork is in the PD, and it's recent enough to possibly still be under copyright in the US. Please read COM:EVID: "In all cases, the burden of proof lies on the uploader or other person arguing for the file to be retained..." - Reventtalk 17:04, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
Hmm. Interesting question. As you say, the copyright was renewed by Zilboorg in 1952 (R101210). In that era, there was typically only one copyright notice in a book, which had to be on the verso of the title page. That notice covered the entire work -- text, translation, and any art in the book, on the cover, and on the dust jacket. The renewal refers to the original 1924 registration by EP Dutton (A815379). I would think, therefore, that the 1952 renewal covers not only the translation, but the entire book since it renews the original registration. I could certainly be wrong in that, but, as Revent has pointed out, the burden of proof is on you to prove that the 1952 renewal did not cover the whole work, including the cover.
The good news is that the renewed copyright lasts for 95 years after publication, so it will be PD on 1/1/2020. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:23, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
@Jameslwoodward: Exactly. The possible caveat that might arise here is that the translator (who filed the renewal) might not have been the proper party to have filed for a renewal of the copyright in the cover art. We would need much more information to establish this, however. - Reventtalk 22:48, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
I agree that there is a question of whether the translator could renew the copyright. However, since the Copyright Office accepted the renewal and referred to the original registration, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we must assume that the renewal was valid for the whole book, including the cover art. .     Jim . . .

File:Wakil Gubernur DKI Basuki TP (cropped).jpg

Previous deletion nomination is not making sense, it is in public domain because it published by the Government of Republic of Indonesia. See the Government of Republic of Indonesia. See Template:PD-IDGov. Hddty. (talk) 11:16, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose I suggest you actually read {{PD-IDGov}} which says, in part,

"(2) publication and/or reproduction of anything which is published by and/or behalf of the Government, except if the Copyright is declared to be protected by law or regulation or by statement on the work itself or at the time the work is published;" [emphasis added].

The page which this was taken from has an explicit copyright notice, which is also linked at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Wakil Gubernur DKI Basuki TP (cropped).jpg. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:45, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

@Jameslwoodward: {{PD-IDGov}} is actually outdated; its from 2002, there is a new one in 2014 which basically speaks about how governmental portraits are exempt from the copyright law (there is also a discussion about this in Template talk:PD-IDGov. Here is the translation to English from here:
Article 43
Act which is not considered a violation of Copyright include:
e. Doubling, Announcements, and / or distribution of Images President, Vice President, former President, former Vice President, National Hero, heads of state institutions, leaders of ministries / non-ministerial government agencies, and / or head area with regard dignity and fairness in accordance with the provisions of legislation.
Hddty. (talk) 12:59, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
Also can you undelete File:Wakil Gubernur DKI Basuki TP.jpg? It also deleted in the same deletion requests. Hddty. (talk) 14:41, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

I don't think we can use that provision of the law. See my comment at Template talk:PD-IDGov. Until the issue is resolved there, we cannot use it here. Changes in Commons understand of specific laws must always be done at the policy level before trying to apply it to individual cases. .     Jim . . .

File:Cover of the third issue of GROUND, edited by Ismael Ogando.png

This was an act of vandalism by user:[Boing! said Zebedee] who besides that used a derogative tone in its text explaining me things that weren't unrequested, such as "I will punish you for not obeying me". That was crossing the line for me, and I feel offended.

You are contributing the work of a relevant artist who did not give you permission to do so. It is NOT yours to give away / relicense.

 Oppose I am afraid that I don't much like it when someone who has a total of 29 edits on all WMF projects comes here and complains about "an overzealous user who is monitoring with no knowledge of the subject matter". The person who deleted your image, one of our most active and productive colleagues, was simply following our standard policy when we see an image on Flickr with "All Rights Reserved". There was nothing "overzealous" about that.

We have no way here of knowing who you are and whether you actually have the rights to the image. Please do not criticize our colleague for simply following policy. Policy requires that either (a) the ARR must be changed on Flickr to an acceptable license or (b) the actual photographer must send a free license directly using OTRS. The former can get the image restored immediately; the latter will take several weeks or more as OTRS has a significant backlog. .     Jim . . .

File:Queer (musical logo).png

I am the owner of the image and I keep getting harassed with it being removed. Please undelete it immediately!

--MissHazelJade (talk) 08:58, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose First, please note that uploading an image a second and third time after it has been deleted is a violation of Commons rules and a waste of time and resources. Don't do it again.

There is no evidence that this musical is in scope. Images on Commons must serve an educational purpose. The subjects must be notable, which generally means they have a WP article. This musical is not mentioned at Category:LGBT-related musicals and gets no hits on Google.

If you can prove here that the image actually is in scope, then policy requires that an authorized official of the musical's production company must send a free license using OTRS. We do not accept unsubstantiated claims of "ownership" of images. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 09:58, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Once again, I will repeat to you that I am the creator/producer of this musical. Feel free to view our website at Queer: A New Musical and the Broadway World announcement article, and please stop harassing me! If you need further proof, tell me where I can email it to, and I will do that. --MissHazelJade (talk) 11:00, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Please note my first paragraph above. Anyone can create a web site. Yours says that the musical is "in development". Until the show actually appears and lasts more than a few nights, it probably does not meet our standards for notability.

Also, please understand that all we know for certain here is that you are an anonymous user who repeatedly claims to be the creator of the musical. We get many fans and vandals who make similar claims in order to post images on Commons. Therefore, as I said above, "policy requires that an authorized official of the musical's production company must send a free license using OTRS". OTRS is linked for a reason. However, don't bother to send a license to OTRS until you have convinced this community that the show is in scope.

I also note that you got exactly the same response at User_talk:Hedwig_in_Washington#STOP_BLOCKING_.2AMY.2A_PHOTOS -- both with respect to scope and with respect to copyright -- a few minutes before you posted here. Please don't expect that when you do things that are outside of policy that you can shop around and get an answer that you like. Although some of our colleagues may disagree with me and Mattbuck on the scope issue, the copyright issue is long and firmly established policy. Shopping around for different answers simply wastes your time and ours. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:33, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

You obviously are a simple, egotistical, entitled individual, who has an issue being told he's incorrect. If you bothered to take any time to see Queer: A New Musical, you would see that there are licenses on there for both of the images I posted, which has already been sent to OTRS. You are also not allowed to determine which projects are in scope; but you like control.

I validate that for you, and recommend that you get counseling for it; it can be worked through, sweetheart. --MissHazelJade (talk) 03:05, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

MissHazelJade, I understand you are new to the project but it is important that all users follow the guidelines of civility and ensure they do not make negative statements that personally target other individuals. Commenting that a user 'needs counselling' is not at all a kind of remark that would be acceptable here. I suggest you turn your interest back to the matter at hand. User:Jameswoolward is an administrator on this project and is also not the only user who is suggesting that this musical doesn't fit the scope of our project, so please, make your argument stronger with evidence and after a good thorough reading of COM:SCOPE and then comment back with actual points, otherwise the image will stay deleted. seb26 (talk) 03:21, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
seb26, I'm simply curious why you believe it :doesn't fit the scope of your project. And I'm also curious how you can ignore and negate the rude attitude of your colleague. Please respond accordingly. --MissHazelJade (talk) 03:25, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
seb26, What I don't appreciate is an aggressive male individual harassing me online (as (Jameslwoodward) tried to do to me), and attempting to make use of his "male privilege" in order to get his way. I am a very educated young woman, and I highly appreciate people who can to speak to me and not at me. Please recommend that your colleague focus on behavior modification to users, as opposed to trying to bully them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MissHazelJade (talk • contribs) 03:34, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
(edit conflict) MissHazelJade, I understand you may feel taken aback by the manner of his comments. You are at liberty to raise any concerns directly with him on his discussion page, found here. One important thing: I think you need to acknowledge that I am not a "colleague" of any user here in the sense that I have any authority or joint cooperation of them like in a workplace. As I have said above, this is a community of volunteers, all completely unpaid, with equal voice, and equal responsibility for own comments. I trust you will actually read the links I have taken my own personal time to include and adjust your comments. This is the end of my remarks on topics that are nt related to the discussion about the logo and Commons' scope. I encourage you also to focus on the issue at hand on this page, there are other pages where you can raise concerns if you had any. seb26 (talk) 03:57, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
(edit conflict) MissHazelJade, I trust you consulted the page I linked, but in any case I will summarise it from my perspective. COM:SCOPE explains that images hosted here need to be for an 'educational purpose'. It says, "The expression "educational" is to be understood according to its broad meaning of "providing knowledge; instructional or informative"." But then the guideline goes on and remarks that the educational purposes need to be realistic. Wikimedia Commons is a free file repository but we also support the Wikipedia projects, and so one part of the defined scope remarks that the subject material on Commons then needs to be notable enough for a Wikipedia article. That's a valid argument, and it has been mentioned several times here so as a new user for your interest, I provide you a link to the Wikipedia guideline on notability: en:Wikipedia:Notability. If the musical is not notable enough for a Wikipedia article (yet), then photos related to it on Commons cannot be used for any realistic purpose, other than to advertise the musical. The logo for example cannot feature in an article because no articles mention it. The logo cannot realistically feature in articles about musicals in general and cannot be used anywhere. In that case, the logo would exist on our project but would not be used anywhere. It is essentially free hosting for the logo. That is not really an acceptable use for them here. If you want to release your images or logos under Creative Commons licenses, please feel free to do so. Creative Commons is another entire organisation unrelated to us (except with some partnerships). Nothing is stopping you from licensing your files according to their licenses, and distributing them on your website with a note letting everyone know they are CC licensed and can be used freely. But there are valid suggestions in this discussion made by experienced and informed members of our community that the project should not host these files. Also: this is not "my" project, it is ours and I include you in that because you are a registered user here who is contributing to a community discussion. Jim's comments are of his own decision and whether or not you interpret his attitude one way or another, he has been considerate of the terms of use and has not made any personal attacks. seb26 (talk) 03:45, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
seb26, thank you for taking the time to write that. I truly appreciate it, and you've done to lessen my anxiety here. There is an article I drafted about the project, in which I would have included the logo, but it was declined because it did not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. If I submit a question on the Articles for creation help desk, would you be willing to help me sculpt the article in a more neutral point of view, along with User talk:KGirlTrucker81? I would greatly appreciate that! --MissHazelJade (talk) 03:54, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
MissHazelJade, I don't contribute on that project much so I wish you luck instead with the article. seb26 (talk) 03:59, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
seb26, please excuse me for being lost, but when you use the word project, do you mind explaining to me if that means the article itself or that particular section of the Wikipedia website? --MissHazelJade (talk) 04:11, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Sibo68 (talk) 20:02, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi Sibo68, Wikimedia Commons needs media files to be released under a free license which allows people other than Wikipedia to use the photo. A permission for just Wikipedia is not sufficient. We need a free license release, which allows more people and permits more uses for the work. If the photographer granted you a permission for something, it also means he still holds some rights, which means we cannot accept any permissions from you, and instead need an explicit free license statement from them. You can contact them and ask them to use the text from this template here, put their name on it, and send it to us directly (not forwarded) at permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. This template releases the file under a license called Creative Commons BY-SA-4.0, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose. Once we receive the permission, only then can the image be restored.

The badge was given to members of the RNXS of which i was a member i am authorised as a member to use RNXS images i have a badge in my possession.its my badge ,any photo i took would look exactly the same. Although i understand the need for copywriter protection, and applaud your diligence i think in this case perhaps A tad over zealous.


Many thanks Andrew Johnston(Ex-L.N.X)Rosyh

Please clarify who made this design and if you have permission from him or hear to distribute copies. Thuresson (talk) 19:20, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
From what he told us on the IRC help channel for en.wp, this may be covered by Crown copyright. Jéské (v^_^v) 19:28, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
 Support The badge definitely has or had a Crown Copyright. The Royal Naval Auxiliary Service was formed in 1963. Crown Copyright lasts for fifty years, so if the badge were designed and "published" (in the technical, copyright sense of the word) before 1967, then it is PD. Although it is unproven here, I am prepared to assume that it did not take four years after the creation of the service for the badge (and the the RNXS ensign, which has the badge on it) to be created. I think it is almost certain that the badge was actually created before the official start of the Service because otherwise vessels that were added to the RNXS at its inception would not have had an ensign. (note to Americans and others who are not familiar with UK flags -- unlike the USA, which has one national flag, and many countries which have two or three, the UK has dozens of official national flags and the flag that is flown depends on the organization flying it and, in some cases on ships, on the person in command). That would make this PD four years ago, but not on the URAA date. I think that the URAA does not apply to Crown Copyright, but I could be wrong on that. Carl? Anyone else?
I should add that I see nothing over-zealous in this deletion. Ownership of one of these badges does not give one the right to freely license copies of it. The fact that Andrew was a member of the Service says nothing about his right to license its images. I don't know offhand who is authorized to freely license Crown Copyright images, but I doubt very much that it includes ordinary members of the Services. So, at best this is OK by four years and at worst it is still under copyright in the USA because of the URAA. Certainly a case that required discussion.     Jim . . .

 Oppose I was about to undelete myself and apply {{PD-Art|PD-UKGov}} but the phrase in the undeletion request "any photo i took would look exactly the same" would strongly imply that the photograph was not created by the uploader. The badge appears to be a 3D object, and as such {{PD-Art}} would not seem to apply. Lighting, background, and other creative choices were made, and the photo would likely have copyright separate from the underlying work. Storkk (talk) 15:13, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
 Oppose Oops. My apologies. I focused on the DW issue and completely ignored the fact that this is not own work -- the stated source is "various web sites". Good catch, Storkk. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 09:57, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

File:Dan_Wagner_-_UK_Serial_Tech_Entrepreneur.jpg

I uploaded this image of Dan Wagner that I took in 2007. It is my copyright and I am surprised it was deleted. Can you please restore it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Techtrek (talk • contribs) 10:14, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi Techtrek, if this is your own work, it was likely deleted because it was suspected of having been uploaded by someone who was not you. If you are the photographer, we will need an explicit free license statement from you (copying the text from this template here and putting your name on it) to be sent to us at permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. If you are not the photographer, but own the *full* rights for the image (and not just the right to use as you wish), please also explain in the email how the rights were transferred/purchased.

Files deleted by Hedwig in Washington

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: I do have the copyrights for this photo. How to prove this? Please explain how to proceed and restore. Alexandralev (talk) 14:32, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Deletion rationale: Needs better evidence for the uploader's claims of authorship and of copyright ownership. It is not a photo from 2017. Versions of it have been published in 2016 in the annual report of the Commission de la construction du Québec (page 12 of [16]) and in a newspaper [17]. This suggests that the copyright may be held by the Commission de la construction.
Please read and follow OTRS. If everything checks out the file will be restored. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 15:14, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
