File:No Tears Left To Cry - video screenshot.png

The reason why i'm asking to undelete this is because it was a screenshot, I have seen many other articles that have also been screenshots from other music videos and they haven't been deleted? So is there a reason why this image has been deleted. Pineapple tuner9 (talk) 07:01, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Pineapple tuner9: You didn't mention a file name, but I suppose you mean File:No Tears Left To Cry - video screenshot.png. You can't upload a screenshot on Commons without the permission from the author of the video. But you can upload it on the English Wikipedia under a fair use rationale. Regards, Yann (talk) 08:12, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

@Yann: Thank you so much! haha now i know how to upload things properly, Because i was so confused. But how do i do that because every time i go to upload an image it redirects to Commons. Pineapple tuner9 (talk) 09:28, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

@Pineapple tuner9: en:Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard gives four options for uploading on that project: Click here to start the Upload Wizard (on top in the middle); Files for upload process; Plain form for local uploads; and Old guided form (the latter three in the right column under "Wikipedia").   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 11:36, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Reason: I think the deletion was unnecessary. I'd like a chance to expand that gallery. Evrik (talk) 19:36, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

    •  Oppose - This page was not a gallery. You responded to the DR 26 March], but you did nothing about it in the month the DR was open. If you want to create a gallery with this name, just create it. Undeletion of the deleted non-gallery is pointless. - Jcb (talk) 20:58, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
      • I was the only one to respond to the DR. No one refuted what I had to say. You came in and closed it with a deletion. There is no real reason why it should have been closed with a delete. Evrik (talk) 14:18, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

@Jcb: which policy contains such norm as “a gallery disambiguation page should [only] disambiguate galleries”? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 03:52, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

We are not Wikipedia. The Gallery space is for galleries only. Jcb (talk) 06:39, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
I don't know of any such policy. If it gets undeleted, I will see what I can do to add gallery images. Evrik (talk) 14:18, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

 Not done Please see Commons:Galleries. "Galleries are created in the same way as Articles are created in Wikipedia." This means that the "regular" namespace at Commons is reserved for gallery pages. Also, per the namespace-specific Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion, "Mainspace pages (galleries) that are empty or contain no useful content, such as pages that contain text but no images or other media" (my emphasis) qualify for speedy deletion. To create an image gallery related to this airport, the page does not need to be undeleted, but it can created again from scratch. However, galleries should not just duplicate existing categories.

La imagen está libre de derechos por el autor Rafael Guerrero, que la ha cedido para la Wikipedia. --Rafael Guerrero escritor (talk) 16:06, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose The EXIF metadata credit this image to (C) Birdy YOLANDA J.M. We need a permission from the copyright holder per email (COM:OTRS). If the copyright was transferred from the photographer to Rafael Guerrero this, too, needs to be documented. Owning a physical copy of a photograph usually does not make you the copyright holder so you are not in a position to grant free licences. De728631 (talk) 19:23, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

File:FCE Logo Circle.svg

I am requesting that FCE Logo Circle.svg be undeleted as it does not violate any copyrights. The image was created in-house at Feeding Children Everywhere and no copyrights exist for the image or brand.

Feedingchildreneverywhere (talk) 13:51, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

By law, copyrights exist automatically for anything above the threshold of originality. If it was created in-house, then the organization would own that copyright. Since Commons does not accept fair use (the way many logos appear on Wikipedia articles), to be uploaded here that copyright would need to be explicitly licensed (or disclaimed via something like Creative Commons Zero), either by a notation on the source website, or by email using the COM:OTRS process. Since user accounts are essentially anonymous, and people taking graphics off the web is unfortunately common, we require that works previously published on the internet go through that OTRS process to confirm the license and make sure there are no misunderstandings. Once approved via that process, the file will be undeleted. We typically label anything "not freely licensed" as a "copyvio", even if not an actual copyright violation.

File:VSF - Jim Edgar - 1978-1.jpg

I request a review of this photo of Jim Edgar and others that I have added to both the Forests Commission Victoria and Victorian School of Forestry pages that have been deleted.

These photos form part of a large collection that have been donated over many years by members to the Forests Commission Retired Personnel Association (FCRPA)

They are on public display at the association museum at Beechworth or on their new webpage https://www.victoriasforestryheritage.org.au/

Many are out of copyright and in the common domain because of their age. Some are very old newspaper photos. I have identified the original donor where possible.

In many cases I edited the photos to improve their quality before I uploaded them.

I hope I have now added enough information on their source so they can be kept

Other photos are

Thanks DBHOB (talk) 00:24, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Well, why would a 1978 photo be public domain in Australia? Template:PD-Australia does not seem the obvious choice for a copyright license. Thuresson (talk) 00:48, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
@DBHOB: Were the copyrights to these photos originally given to FCV or VSF?   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 00:56, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi there All these photos were freely donated to the Forests Commission Retired Personnel Association (FCRPA) over many years for their use They are all freely available from the FCRPA collection either online or at its museum. Some came from the Forest Commission and some came from Victorian school of Forestry The School of Forestry merged with the University of Melbourne in 1980 and everything was thrown out. The Forest Commission ceased to exist in 1983 and they had a big clean out too. The one of Jim Edgar was taken at the Victorian School of Forestry which was then managed by the FCV in 1980 Is there another form of release that I need to use I want to do the right thing with these photos. It means a lot to the FCRPA, Thanks for your help Cheers

DBHOB (talk) 01:25, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose There are two questions here. Did the people who donated the photos to FCRPA collection actually own the copyrights? Please remember that owning a paper copy of a photo does not give you any rights to the copyright -- that is almost always held by the actual photographer or his heirs. Second, even if they did, did the donation include a formal, written, transfer of copyright? I think the answer to the first question is "perhaps, in some cases". The answer to the second is almost certainly "No" and unless the FCRPA can produce copies of the relevant documents, that will be the end of it.

In order for the image to be restored, it will up to you to prove beyond a significant doubt (the Commons standard of proof, see COM:PRP) that the answer to both questions is "Yes". .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 09:56, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

hello again. Im sorry but maybe I didn't explain myself properly. Nearly all these photos belonged to the Forests Commission of Victoria or the Victorian School of Forestry. Both were Government organisations not private individuals. So the copyright was always owned by the Government of Victoria. Some are newspaper photos (Gerraty and Code). I understood they are available to use because the copyright has expired. is this not the case ? Cheers DBHOB (talk) 10:18, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

I have give an explanation of each photo below.

DBHOB (talk) 10:34, 21 April 2018 (UTC)


Again, ownership of a photo does not give ownership of the copyright. At the time a photograph is taken, the copyright belongs to the photographer. If the photographer has a work for hire agreement with an employer, then the copyright belongs to the employer. If that applies to any of these, it is up to you to prove it.
If a photograph was first published anonymously in Australia more than 50 years ago, then it is PD. However it is up to you to prove that it was actually published and that the publication was actually anonymous -- the fact that we do not know who the photographer was does not make it anonymous. Generally, you must show the published photo in situ without a by-line.
So, here are several groups:
Those that are clearly not PD:
Those that might be PD as government works, but both the date and place of publication and the fact that it is a government work requires further proof. Note that the Australian law requires publication for the clock to start, so the fact that a photo exists proves nothing unless you can prove it was published more than 50 years ago:
Those that might be PD if published anonymously, but where the anonymous publication must be proven (see above):

.     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:02, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello again

I can't do anything about the first group. They should be deleted. I agree with you. I miss understood the rules But I have added links to original newspaper sources from Trove for A.V Galbraith, W J Code and F G Geraty. They were all well before 1955. E J Semmens is a crop headshot from the 1946 school football team photo which is published in the University of Melbourne museum. https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/cchc/items/show/5819. Im looking for a source for E J Semmens (2)-1 The photo for A V Galbraith comes from an obituary written about him in Australian Forestry journal. It shows him sitting at his desk as Forests Commission Chairman. Gailbriath retired in July 1969. So the photo is 50 years old. Cheers DBHOB (talk) 02:35, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

File:Matthew Kennedy directing the Fisk Jubilee Singers.jpg.

Also:

The executrix for the Estate of Matthew Washington Kennedy has granted permission to Wikimedia Commons to use this photograph. Nina07011960 (talk) 16:15, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Such a permission can be sent to OTRS. If the permission is valid, an OTRS agent will take care of undeletion. Jcb (talk) 19:41, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 Oppose There are several problems here. Since the copyright to photographs is almost always held by the photographer, even when the photographer is paid for the work, it is unlikely that the estate has the right to freely license the photographs. Even if it does (and that must be proven), executors do not generally have the right to make gifts of estate property unless directed to do so by the will. That right belongs to the heir. Finally, "permission to Wikimedia Commons to use this photograph" is insufficient. Commons requires that images be free for any use by anybody anywhere. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:27, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

I am the heir, as well as the executrix. The Last Will and Testament was sent to Wikimedia Commons. Photographs were taken in the 1940s. The photograph of Matthew Kennedy directing the Jubilee Singers was taken in the 1970s and was given to him by the photographer, who is deceased. All of the other photographers are deceased. It is my intention that the "images be free for any use by anybody anywhere." Nina07011960 (talk) 20:07, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

You have answered one of my concerns above, but you still have provided no evidence that you have the right to freely license the copyrights. That right almost always remains with the photographer. That was particularly the case in the old days, with film and paper photographs, as charging for reprints was an important source of revenue for photographers. Unless you can provide either (a) evidence of formal written license or transfers of copyright for each photograph, or (b) free licenses from the heirs of the photographers, they cannot be restored. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:00, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

This is impossible. These photographers have been deceased for decades. What if they have no heirs? Nina07011960 (talk) 01:20, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Particularly, the photo of Henry Floyd Gamble was taken before 1900. Is it not public domain by now? It is already on the Internet. Nina07011960 (talk) 01:22, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Nina07011960: I restored File:Dr. Henry Floyd Gamble.jpg. Please fix the source. For others, they may be undeleted if you give an evidence of being published without a copyright notice (or that the copyright was not renewed). Thanks, Yann (talk) 05:37, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

I am the creator of the image in question. I have other pictures from that event when I took the picture, which nobody in the world can have because they never where published anywhere. This would prove my copyright ownership. Al the pictures mentioned have meta data of my S40 Canon camera. If there is any place where I can can prove my ownership let me know.

This photograph is from the family's collection, currently in the possession of the subject's son, Robert Lawton Speik. It is from a football program from 1904 and copyright, if any, has expired. It would be a great contribution to the Frederick A. Speik page and to history, especially as it proves that Amos Alonzo Stagg was using varsity letters as early as 1904 (his page states that he invented them in 1906).

 Oppose In the file description, User:DGol claimed that he was the photographer, which is, of course, absurd, but means that we are not likely to take his assertions at face value. If it was published in the USA before 1923, then it is, in fact PD. However, if it has not been published until recently, then it will be under copyright until 2024. The fact of publication must be proven. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:29, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

If it was published in a football program in 1904, it should be PD. Is there any chance the entire program could be uploaded, or at least the cover or title page? If there is no printed date on the photo, not sure that alone proves anything, at least if the 1904 date is just a claim without any other supporting evidence. What shows that the photo is from 1904?

File:Luigi Trinchero (circa 1900).jpg

I'm the great-grandson of Luigi Trinchero (the one on the photo). That photo (and many others that I plan to upload) is part of my personal archive. They have more than 100 year old! They where probably taken on Argentina circa 1900. There is no information on the physical photo about who take it. I don't find any reason to delete this photo on Wikipedia:Image_use_policy. If I am legally the owner of the photo and the rights of course I'm giving them all. TBH I found nonsense removing photos like this one, even after reading Wikipedia's image use policy --Pabloab (talk) 21:35, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

  • {{O}} per Commons:Deletion requests/File:Luigi Trinchero (circa 1900).jpg and COM:CRT#Argentina; if the photographer was 18 in 1900 and died in 1948 aged 66, the photo would still be copyrighted in Argentina until 1 January 2019. Owning a physical property (photograph) is not the same as owning an intellectual property (copyright). Although, for example, one may purchase and own tangible books, the intangible copyrights remain solely with the authors/publishers. Similarly, intellectual properties can indeed be inherited like physical property, but must be bequeathed or passed down by operation of law. Alternatively stated, simply being related to the author of a work and owning a copy of that work is not adequate. To accept these files, we would need a copy (e.g., scan) of the legal conveyance or other document that formally transferred to you the copyrights of these images; you can provide that documentation using the COM:OTRS process.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 21:55, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
  • Article 34 of law number 11723 of Argentinian Commercial and Civil Code state "Para las obras fotográficas la duración del derecho de propiedad es de VEINTE (20) años a partir de la fecha de la primera publicación". In English: 20 years from the photo been published (post-publication, not post-mortem; also in this Wikipedia article with citations). So in this case the copyright ended circa 1920. --Pabloab (talk) 22:54, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
    @Pabloab: That law was superseded in 1997 by retroactive Ley 24.870, or art. 84 of the current Argentine copyright law. Perhaps Wikipedia did not notice this change.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 23:12, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

But the updated version is the one you link, current state of law. That's what says the link you provide (I'm from Argentina, Spanish is my native language). About copyright of photos say "20 years from the first publication date". I'm not sure what do you mean about Argentina being special about photos.

You can, but this fails unless you can prove validity of the license basing on publicly accessible information. We must wait for a German OTRS agent to process the ticket. (And it is unlikely that it will be accepted a the permission is not from the author.) Ankry (talk) 10:46, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

en:Los Reyes de Juárez happens to be a municipality in México and therefore, the image (a coat of arms of the municipality) qualifies for {{PD-Coa-Mexico}}. Would it be possible to undelete it? --Discasto talk 09:00, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Sure, the problem here is that I though that "Los Reyes de Juárez" (The Kings of Juárez) was sort of commercial firm and not (to my surprise) the actual name of a municipality. As I mentioned to @Victor Gibby: (when he stated that I was wrong), he had seven days to clarify it. As I do know now that the CoA belonged to a municipality, it seems that I was quite careless and therefore I'm trying to fix my mistake. --Discasto talk 12:09, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

The possibility of copyright infringement is pointed out in the file I posted. Certainly posted photos are posted on the blog, and are displayed as images of blogs on the net search as well. But this blog is what I manage and I shot. Therefore it does not infringe copyright. In addition, although only photographs of ambulances at Hebei Hospital are not taken by me, I use images that are allowed to be used freely on the net.

File:Cher Here We Go Again Tour.jpg

The entire poster: because the image is poster art, a form of product packaging or service marketing, the entire image is needed to identify the product or service, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.

Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work, product or service for which it serves as poster art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work, product or service and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the creator providing graphic design services, and in turn the marketing of the promoted item.

As poster art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the same artwork or poster would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.

Use of the poster art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.

This image is of a poster, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher or the creator of the work depicted. It is believed that the use of images of posters to provide critical commentary on the film, event, etc. in question or of the poster itself, not solely for illustrationon the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TioTayumi (talk • contribs) 20:18, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose You summarized pretty well why this poster is not allowed on Commons: We do not host fair use files. From what I understand, the English Wikipedia has a different policy, and it may be allowed to upload the poster there locally. Sebari – aka Srittau (talk) 20:26, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

File:Staatsiefoto-koningin-maxima---2018---erwin-olaf.jpg

Source of image

This image is a official portrait

The website of the Royal House makes a difference between official photographs and photographs made during public occasions.

Pages with official photographs have a special statement of use, which means that the photographs under this heading do not fall under the general copyright statement.

The general copyright statement is:

"Unless stated otherwise, CC0 (Creative Commons Zero) applies to the content on our website.

This means that the content on this website may be re-used freely, unless indicated otherwise in a copyright notice for a specific section. CC0 does not apply to photos, videos, infographics and other images. This means you are not permitted to re-use or share images, unless permission is clearly stated for a specific image. "

https://www.royal-house.nl/copyright

The statement on pages with official photographs is:

Official photographs

"The Government Information Service (RVD) expressly reserves all rights to the photographs under this heading. The photographs may however be downloaded and used for editorial purposes by news media, for display in public places, for private use and for educational purposes. No advance permission is required to place photographs on household items intended for public distribution. However, the RVD reserves the right to take action at a later date if it deems the use of the photographs or the manner in which they are made public to be incompatible with the dignity of the Royal House, to have a promotional purpose (advertising) or to be ideological in nature. The RVD will not respond to questions from third parties on whether legal or other action will be taken in given circumstances."

https://www.royal-house.nl/photos/official-photographs

I think we all agree that Wikipedia is used for educational purposes. In the statement is written that photo's may be used for educational purposes, just like where this site is for.

There is absolutely no complaint because there is no question that this file is being used for:

  1. "to be incompatible with the dignity of the Royal House."
  2. "to have a promotional purpose (advertising)"
  3. "or to be ideological in nature."

("However, the RVD reserves the right to take action at a later date if it deems the use of the photographs or the manner in which they are made public to be incompatible with the dignity of the Royal House, to have a promotional purpose (advertising) or to be ideological in nature.")

The fact that only pages which include official portraits have the special statement of use, means that they don't directly fall under the general copyright statement. The special statement is there for a reason and not because it's makes the webpage look nicer. Please stop using the general copyright statement to compare this image with, because (like I said) the general copyright statement is not just for fun at those pages: It is there to say that these photographs have special rights, because they are official portraits and not pictures made during public occasions.

I hope you'll finally come to the conclusion that there are different rights for official photographs: Which I'm trying to make clear for a couple weeks now. You can not use the general statement for the official photographs, because they fall under a different heading (with another statement of use).

The pages of Queen Máxima are using a 15 year old picture right now, which is despicable. The image is very old and is not relevant anymore, because that photo was taken when she just lived here for 1 year or something and she looks a lot different now.

The older image of Máxima, taken in 2015 (which had been on this website for 3 years), has been removed recently. I think this is strange, because it had never been a problem before. Because of the deletion of this images we have to use an ugly, 15 year old picture of the Queen. Why are the pictures of her husband and children (also taken in 2015), still on this website and the picture of Queen Mäxima not? Or are these files going to be deleted too for no reason, after 3 years of usage on this website?

The usage of this file is just like the statement says: We want to inform people, educate them and help them with their education. It fits perfectly with the statement that is shown on the page with official portraits. (("The photographs may however be used (...) for educational purposes.")

We use it exactly for what is in the statement: educational purposes. I do not understand what the problem is, because it is used properly, and exactly like the rules.

I would be most grateful if you would look into this matter as soon as possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mark.adriaans (talk • contribs) 14:19, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Service improvement

I think you do not take enough time to investigate things, which is a bad case for a big professional website of this size. You give no reason at all for a deletion, just a general statement without any information about this specific photograph.

This whole way of informing people and deleting images disappointed me. I donated every month a small amount of money to Wikipedia. I decided that last month was the last time I did this.

I will not spend my money on an organisation where personal information and contact with users is one of the lowest priorities. The messages with no information, the bad investigation before deleting an image, and just no response to my questions when I send them to moderators, like I don't exist or are just foolish (because I'm on this site for just a few months I think? I want to help just like other users, and want to make this community better. That I have just been on this site for 3 months, doesn't mean that my questions have to be ignored) made me come to this decision,

So you can improve your services to provide more personal information, and stop ignoring messages or deletion disscusions. It gives the editor a feeling like he/she's not important enough to take time for. We have to make this a better website together, but I have the feeling that I'm not very welcome here. In stead of giving me help, information or tips, the only thing I get are general messages with warnings.

You have to help people who are new, and not give them the feeling like they are dumb and give them a feeling of "What the hell are you doing here when you don't understand it." I think more people will stay here if you give them the feeling that they are welcome, and providing them more information and help.

When you want to delete this file, I want to have an explanation why you did this. That way I can finally understand your decisions: A lot better than just a general statement in a big red box.

Thank you.

Mass TechCrunch restore request

Please restore all images deleted in the following DRs and the following individual images:


Original discussion

Per the close by Ruthven at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Gavin Wood in 2017.jpg. TechCrunch has every right to release their photos under a free license if they choose to do so on their confirmed Flickr account. Them being present on Getty, and the metadata, do not discount the fact that TechCrunch has this right. --Majora (talk) 01:03, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

I just added six more files and another mass DR that was just deleted by Jcb. This is getting ridiculous. These are TechCrunch's images. Released by TechCrunch on their Flickr page. You can't have this both ways here. Getty does not own these images. TechCrunch has every right to release them under a free license. --Majora (talk) 02:07, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
Just for reference there are 24 other images from the TechCrunch account that have Getty in the metadata. So, again, can't have it both ways here. Total, there are almost 700 images from TechCrunch's flickr page (which is now blacklisted) on Commons. --Majora (talk) 02:32, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose If a photographer who works for or with Getty Images and is not a TechCrunch employee takes photographs at a TechCrunch event, then the photographer or Getty Images owns the copyright. It is certainly possible that Getty has licensed the images to TechCrunch for use in their own publicity and publications, but it is very unlikely that Getty has given TechCrunch the right to freely license them -- that's not how Getty works. If such a license exists, TechCrunch must offer evidence of it via OTRS. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:23, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

 Comment These photographers simply delegate to Getty the management of their rights. Getty usually requires exclusivity, but there could be exceptions. It could very well be that some have allowed TechCrunch to publish their images under a free license. Anyway, if a permission is needed, it is from the photographer, not from TechCrunch. Regards, Yann (talk) 15:25, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
I contacted TechCrunch. See Ticket:2018041510004936. Regards, Yann (talk) 16:07, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
I've sent them emails as well. But to a more limited number of address. Thank you Yann for being more thorough. It is common for events such as these to hire photographers to document them. Which would constitute a work for hire contact for the company so permission from TechCrunch would be fine since it would be corporate ownership. It is possible that TechCrunch even hired Getty which would then depend on how the contract was worded. I was just flummoxed over this. Two different admins closing the same thing different leaving out images that have the same potential issue. If you are going to do cleanup at least do it completely. And at the very least, do it evenly. --Majora (talk) 16:29, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

 Withdrawn For the time being pending any response to Yann's query. I've watched the ticket so I'll reopen if and when there is a proper response. --Majora (talk) 04:56, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

I've pulled this request out of the archive since Yann received a response on Ticket:2018041510004936 that indicates that the images in question are indeed under a free license and that the copyright holder has agreed to put them under said license. I'd like to restart my request to undelete these images in light of the OTRS ticket. The original discussion is included above in the collapsed section for referral purposes. Also pinging Jameslwoodward as they opposed the original request. --Majora (talk) 01:08, 20 April 2018 (UTC)


 Oppose All we have in the OTRS correspondence is "Yes you may publish and credit TechCrunch". Nothing more. There is no explanation of how TechCrunch came to have a license that allows Tech Crunch to freely license Getty property and not even a signature. We have no evidence at all that whoever wrote the message had the authority to do so. I also note that the message was forwarded to OTRS, which we do not ordinarily accept, although since the forwarder is Yann, I'm OK with it. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:14, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure what you are looking for here. The question asked by Yann was "Could you please confirm that the copyright holder have allowed to publish the images under a free license". The response to that specific question was an unequivocal yes. The response came from an official TechCrunch account that is confirmed to belong to them via their website. The account is the "events" account that would deal with these events and therefore know the circumstances behind their photographers. The response is short, yes, but it answers the question posed in a way that indicates that the license on Flickr is correct. If you want something more perhaps Yann can unlock the ticket so you can get whatever working you want out of them. --Majora (talk) 15:29, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
Technically it's not needed that the ticket owner unlock the ticket. If you press 'quick close', it will no longer be locked. Jcb (talk) 17:17, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose - without some more explanation we cannot take their statement for granted. We do not even know whether the person responding has a proper understanding of copyright regulations. Any OTRS agent is expected to be aware that a lot of statements from customers are mistaken and that we have an active role in helping them sorting things out. Jcb (talk) 17:16, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Majora, well, for one thing I expect a signature of a person with at least the apparent authority to give away their employer's property. The OTRS files represent a legal record of the licensing of an image and without a signature, we have nothing. But, as Jcb suggests, I also expect an explanation of how it is that TechCrunch thinks it has the right to freely license images whose copyright is apparently owned by Getty Images. .     Jim . . .

File:Berdyaev2.jpg

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_in_public_domain Image should be considered as in "Public Domain", since it was reproduced in several English books shortly after Berdyaev's 1948 death, with no indication of "restrictive ownership " or suchlike. Frsjanos (talk) 17:44, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - for two reason's: 1) Berdyaev is the depicted person, not the author, so it's irrelevant when Berdyaev has died and 2) if Berdyaev would have been the author, it's still not 2019. Jcb (talk) 18:04, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
  •  Comment @Frsjanos and Чръный человек: This could be in the public domain, but we need more information. Seeing his age, it probably dates from the 1930s, at a time when he was living in France. The source is probably this, but there is no information. It would be in the public domain if it was first published in France in the 1930s without the mention of an author. Any idea?

Good afternooon, I noticed that a file I uploaded to wikimedia commons was unrightfully deleted today, May 8, 2018 by user Hystrix. I assert that this was a wrongful deletion, as I received explicit permission from the photographer and copyright holder himself, Lucas Miranda, to release it to wikimedia. In addition to the explicit permission I received, the photographer ALSO sent an email stating his release permission to "permissions-commons@wikimedia.org" I am thereby requesting the undeletion of this file at the earliest convenience. Thank you for your understanding, AK

All of the files are credited to the uploader and the uploader became an verifed user via OTRS after these deletions where made, as can be seen on his userpage. This verification makes the deletion argument of all of those files moot and frankly incorrect. Let's correct this mistake of the past.

Falls diese unsere Einverständniserklärung nicht ausreichend ist, raten wir, eine Rechtefreigabe von Bernd Uhlig zu erbitten.

Liebe Frau Gysbers, Um das Photo von Bernd Uhlig, über das wir gesprochen hatten, für Wikipedia benutzen zu können, brauche ich eine schriftliche Genehmigung der Deutschen Oper, dass Wikipedia es verwenden darf. Sonst veröffentlichen sie es nicht, da es auf der Website der DOB ohne Freigabe zur weiteren Verwendung drauf ist. Würden Sie so nett sein, und mir einen entsprechenden Zweizeiler per Mail schicken?

Request for Undeletion: Hagfish Endoskeleton

Good evening,

Recently, I have tried to submit some pictures for the hagfish wikipedia page that has been deleted multiple times. I believe that this is due to my incorrect labeling of copyright concerns initially.

The image I uploaded was originally from an article that I have cited multiple times. However, I have modified the image extensively as to make it more simple for a Wikipedia page. The paper is from 1906, so I'm not sure what osrt of copyright applies to academia sources this old. Could you direct me to what sort of copyright disclosure I need to put on this paper? Or, because the image I am trying to upload has been extensively modified by myself, do I not need copyright disclosure?

Thank you,

File:Deepak verma.jpg

The particular file in question is part of the public record and available for free and fair use. Being a lawyer admitted to practice in India, I see no copyright violation for using a particular work which is part of the public domain. The source of the picture is the official website of the High Court of Judicature at Karnataka and even the source website does not claim any copyright over it. More over, fair use of documents and photographs available in public domain, especially content found in the government websites can be freely used. I thereby, request undeletion of the photograph. I am trying to improve the wiki content pertaining to Indian legal history and that includes the Supreme Court and its past justices. I feel that such obstruction in editing would make it impossible to add substance and credible material about India's legal history. If information and facts available on the official websites cannot be relied upon, then there is no way to improve the content.

For example: I fail to understand if this is not a copyright violation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hrkhanna-supremecourtofindia.nic.in.jpg then how the file in question be. Hrkhanna file is also using content avaialable in the public domain. High Court of Karnataka and Supreme Court of India are part of the same instrumentality of the state Judiciary.

I humbly request you to consider the above points and take an informed decision.

We tend to label anything not freely licensed (per Commons:Licensing or freedomdefined) as a "copyright violation", even though that is not necessarily true. The files are undoubtedly fair use or fair dealing for most purposes, but being a public record does not change the primary copyright status, and per site policy the media here must be usable even for commercial purposes. Hosting files under a fair use rationale is explicitly barred (see Commons:Fair use). So, either the copyright must have lapsed (in both the country of origin and the U.S.), or the existing copyright must be licensed freely, to be hosted here (by policy, even if otherwise legal). Carl Lindberg (talk) 18:05, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

 Not done: per Carl. Additionally, I believe you are confusing or conflating the copyright term-of-art "public domain" with the British English common usage about it "being found in the public". They are not the same, and explicit claims of copyright are not necessary for a work to be copyrighted. --Storkk (talk) 09:34, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

I got a nofication saything that the file: I once checked out every Sophie Calle book from the library. I forgot to return them and eventually the library mailed me a bill for $1,054.90.jpg is to be deleted. User: theinstantmatrix is challenging everything I post here. I am new an learning the rules. theinstantmatrix claims that this images is out of scope, but I would argue that an image documenting a varriaty of artist books by Sophie Calle is educational! Art eductation! Maybe theinstantmatrix holds issue with my image title names? But if you know anything about Sophie Calle's work, she uses alot of personal narratives, and this is refrential and appropriate. Further more, I am interested in making these images open source. For other people to be able to use other places. This image can be taken many directions: stack of books, catalogue of artist Sophie Calle's work, documentation of library books... I ask that this post be undeleted. Thank you so much!

File:Hamlet-Model-Essays-for-Students-Brendan-Munnelly.jpg

Hi,

This is a request to undelete a cover image of a book, written by me, Brendan Munnelly.

The book's details are as follows:

Title: Hamlet: Model Essays for Students Author: Brendan Munnelly ISBN-13: 978-1980540519 ISBN-10: 1980540519

The book's entry on WikiData is here:

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q52958853

I am the author and copyright-holder of the book.

I also created the cover image for the book.

I uploaded the book's cover image to Wikipedia Command and - as part of that process - I released the cover image under Creative Commons licence.

But, for some reason, the cover image has been flagged under 'fair use' rather than Creative Commons.

To repeat, I am very happy for the book's cover to be licensed under Creative Commons.

And I would be grateful if the cover image file could be undeleted and restored.

Thanking you for your time and attention.

File:Group On The Beach (6238424967).jpg

Interesting historical document deleted for frivolous reason by Admin:Taivo after a discussion where the original nominator failed reply to additional information aduced, closed with two keep-votes and no delete-vote. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 00:31, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

  •  Comment I am a hardcore inclusionist, but I fail to see the usefulness of this file. There is no information about the picture content. Where is that place? Who are these people? Are they on vacation, or some other purpose? Regards, Yann (talk) 09:41, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
  • I will keep on, yes, and it has served me beautifully so far. Now, since you do can read, go ahead and read the discussion (especially Alexis Jazz’ comment and the linked pages) again: That’s where I learned about the origin of these photos, and I’m sure you can too. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 00:01, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
  • Yep! I can see the photo in the link below, and as I expected, just because there were Nazis in France, the waves didn't magically turn into swastikas. Given the lack of information about the photo, it's actively more useless than a picture of the beach today, in hi-res full color with information about when (time of year and time of day) and where, would be. I've got piles of family photos I can legally upload; Berlin at the end of the Cold War and Vietnam-war era Vietnam are not uninteresting places, but I'm not about to dump entire piles of photos up here with little to no information on them on the grounds that that alone is enough for them to be useful.--Prosfilaes (talk) 01:41, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
  • I have quite some of the same, and they would rightly be deleted if I would upload them. Regards, Yann (talk) 08:49, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
How is "other stuff exists" or poking Tuvalkin helpful? This appears to be parody, not about interpreting scope for well known archive material or whether Commons should host archive photographs in order to help identify the subjects in the future. Please support or oppose with your rationale, I did not upload these archive photographs so you could take the piss out of each other. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 09:04, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
If you need it simplified, works are not in scope merely because they were in [nation] during [major event]; they still need to show something educational, which this one does not.--Prosfilaes (talk) 21:10, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
@Prosfilaes: I'd argue it does. "While Lois was kept busy with a wide range of tasks, she found some time every day to spend with the children. They ranged from toddlers to age 16. They walked on the beach nearly every sunny day". This photo illustrates that part of the story. But as for keeping it or not I'm neutral. Several other photos from the same album illustrate the same thing but have better quality. Would be a strong keep if this was the only one. - Alexis Jazz Please ping when replying to me 03:45, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

 Not done: as per above. An old picture may be useful in itself if we know the context, if it is related to some event, or if we can see something (clothing, etc.). None of this is the case here. --Yann (talk) 07:12, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Files uploaded by Javier Fake

Lamento colocar esto en español pero es mi idioma nativo y creo que puedo interpretar mejor mis palabras así. Se me han eliminado todas mis fotografías subidas desde 2017 porque un usuario acusó infracción de copyright siendo esto totalmente erróneo ya que las fotografías fueron tomadas por mi no pudiendo controlar quien pudiese tomar las fotografías desde Wikipedia y publicarlas en sus web posteriormente. Intente comunicarme con quien realizo esto pero no he recibido respuesta por lo que solicito vía este medio restaurar mis archivos para no tener problemas a futuro, no los he tenido en 8 años y no quiero comenzar ahora. A continuación dejo el listado de archivos:

Saludos --Javier Fake (talk) 21:53, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

I'm sorry to put this in Spanish but it's my native language and I think I can better interpret my words like that. I have removed all my photographs uploaded since 2017 because a user accused copyright infringement being this completely wrong since the photographs were taken by me unable to control who could take the pictures from Wikipedia and publish them on their web later. Try to communicate with whoever did this but I have not received an answer, so I request via this means to restore my files so that I do not have problems in the future, I have not had them in 8 years and I do not want to start now.

Please do not reupload content that has been deleted in a formal deletion request.
Why are the photos uploaded as PNG? Why do you not use JPEG with EXIF data?
Why are some photos small, "internet sized"? File:LarryValenzuela.png (443x510), File:LuisFelipePinilla.png (418x660), File:KevinVasquez3.png (363x845)
Why do some photos look like they have been scanned? (File:RafaelViotti.png., File:ReinerCastro.png)
I suggest that you use COM:OTRS to verify that you are the copyright owner, for example by submitting a few of these photos as uncropped JPEG images. Thuresson (talk) 19:37, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
My english it's no good but I try wrote in this language.
The original pictures are in JPG, I don't know what is the EXIF data, but I edit the photos before upload because mostly are from football games and appears another players, resize near to player's template photo in spanish wikipedia (250px) and change the format to PNG.
Don't are scannedd photos it's a cam effect.

File:Druk tsendhen.ogg

This file is a from nationalanthems.info, and was published under a CC 3.0 License. Druk tsendhen was adopted as the national anthem of Bhutan in 1953, which means the composition is older than the 50 year copyright length in Bhutan.

 Oppose Apparently Tongmi died in 2007 [3], so his music is still copyrighted. I don't think that Nationalanthems.info is in a position to licence the works of third parties. {{{PD-Bhutan}} doesn't seem appliccable either: "audiovisual" means film recordings and the exception for government works is limited to texts.

File:Android 8.1 Oreo.svg

This is some easter egg logo as seen on https://www.androidpolice.com/2017/10/25/android-8-1-feature-spotlight-new-oreo-easter-egg-appears-double-stuf-form-octopus-remains/. (and some say a new official Android logo)

It was deleted as copyvio, but when you take File:Android robot 2014.svg out of it it's probably PD-ineligible anyway. - Alexis Jazz 10:57, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

 Question The file was deleted because of missing valid license tag. Which license tag you find appropriate here? The android logo is not PD, it is CC-BY licensed by google. Ankry (talk) 21:43, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
@Ankry: derivative of File:Android robot 2014.svg so CC-BY 3.0, PD-shape for the alterations. How exactly we usually describe that here I don't know. The few times this happened before I just described for every license tag I added to which part of the image it applies. I'll be happy to do that if it is undeleted. - Alexis Jazz 03:24, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
@Alexis Jazz: The problem is that CC license cannot be assumed. It must be explicitely declared. Does this derivative fit CC-BY license requirements? What attribution is required? Maybe, its author(s) got a separate license from Google...? Ankry (talk) 09:23, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
@Ankry: Google is the author? Am I missing something? The copyright status for this particular image doesn't seem to be clear net yet, but the Android robot is CC-BY. And without the Android robot, the Oreo cookie is (imho) PD-ineligible. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 10:57, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: I don't believe that i've ever had this photo on Flickr before. Is it possible that we couuld be talking about two different photographs with the same file name? I checked out the photo history and I don't know anything about the one uploaded in February, also called Drew Fortier.jpg, that got deleted. Drewfortier (talk) 14:17, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

There were two different uploads at this filename. The one Jeff is referring to is this image by Joe Schaeffer at Flickr. However, the recent upload was credited to Michael J Photography, so we need evidence that the copyright was transferred to you. Owning a copy of a photograph does not automatically make you own copyright for it unless it was explicitely transferred to you by the photographer. De728631 (talk) 14:26, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
  •  Oppose This image appeared here either before or contemporaneously (27 April) to upload to the Commons with a credit to "Michael J Photography". We would require evidence of permission from Michael J Photography to host this file. Drewfortier, as the mere subject, would not generally hold the copyright (held by the photographer) unless transferred by formal written conveyance. A copy of that document, or direct contact from Michael J Photography, would need to be submitted using the process at COM:OTRS. Эlcobbola talk 14:30, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
@Elcobbola: ah ha! That Flickr photo is definitely not the one I uploaded. Okay cool. So what can I do to show that the photo that I DID upload is legally mine? Also is there a way we can change the file name so there is no more confusion with that Flickr photo? Thank you! Drewfortier (talk) 14:35, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
As per above, Michael J Photography can contact us directly releasing the image under a free license, or you can provide us a copy of the document that transferred the intellectual property (copyright), as opposed to mere physical property (photograph) from Michael J Photography to you. Эlcobbola talk 14:39, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

@Elcobbola: Sorry, was writing the reply when you replied, and absolutely no problem! Written permission as far as e-mail or perhaps messages via Michael J Photography's Official Facebook? I apologize for the invonvenience! Drewfortier (talk) 14:39, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Please have them email our volunteer staff. See COM:OTRS for details. De728631 (talk) 14:41, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

@Elcobbola: Would it be easier to just have Michael J Photography upload the photo himself since he is the one who took the photo? Drewfortier (talk) 14:42, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

No, they would still need to contact OTRS to verify their identify, which saves no time or effort. If this the is the Michael J Photography, they can email OTRS using their @aol.com address referenced on that Facebook page and reference OTRS ticket 2018050110009018. Also, you do not need to use the {{Reply}} template; I am watching the page. Эlcobbola talk 14:45, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you so much. I'll have him e-mail OTRS ASAP. He just needs to verify his identity as well as allow permission for the photograph to be used correct? Just to confirm, do I him him do this via the release generator on OTRS? Drewfortier (talk) 14:52, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Use of the @aol.com address referenced on that Facebook page will allow us to verify his identity, so he will not need to do anything else in that regard. Yes, it would be best to have him use the release generator. Эlcobbola talk 14:58, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your assistance. I will update this thread once he sends the e-mail. Drewfortier (talk) 16:23, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Generally, any uploader who asks a rightsholder to send permission for a work via OTRS should ask to be copied on the email message so they can be in the loop.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 17:14, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Not sure if this will speed up the process or not matter at all but if you go here https://m.imdb.com/name/nm1977694/ and click on the photo, it shows the copyright belongs to Drew Fortier. Drewfortier (talk) 20:29, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

You didn't specify a proper source and author. Both were given as "Joseph Tartakovsky" but this is highly unlikely because the copyright is usually held by the photographer and not the subject depicted in the photograph.

1990 Vauxhall Nova L 1.2

Two of the files I uploaded where deleted from a OTSR ticket request. The person claimed that the photos breached their personal data because the registration plate on it was uncensored.

What happen was, About a month ago I encountered the said car and I was thrilled since it was a modern classic so I photographed it and uploaded it on Wikimedia Commons. One month later I saw it was on sale on a classic car website. So I thought I show my gratitude to the person and said there image is being used for educational purposes. The car was in a public space and I didn't mention the exact location other then the town name. The registration plate was uncensored which should makes sense for it to be deleted. I personally think a registration plate doesn't reveal their personal data because I photographed thousands of cars. I blurred out the registration plates on all cars unless they are older than 25 years.

Although, after I exchange email with the person. They said that the car was taken off sale and be used in car show exhibit. (i.e Letting hundreds photograph their car where people could share it on other websites.) Another fact I pointed out was that the pictures on the car sale page they had pictures of the car where the registration plate is clearly visible.

I understand that you usually need to ask permission from the owner but this usually the case with individuals and not cars which are often parked on public roads and car parks. I personally think my images been wrongfully deleted just because it shown the registration plate despite the facts above and there thousands of images on here, including mines are on the commons with registration plates uncensored.

If it does get undeleted I will with all due respect to the owner censor the registration plate.

The page got removed but can be still viewed on a cache. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C990917

--Vauxford (talk) 10:20, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Though I performed the deletions, based on the OTRS ticket (to which I have no access), I think the only thinkable "privacy problem" might be the well-visible car plates, which could easily be censored. The car was obviously pictured while parking in the public. --Túrelio (talk) 10:28, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
The photo was also used in the Opel Corsa article as a quality example of a pre-facelift Vauxhall Nova. I'm very happy to censored the plate. --Vauxford (talk) 10:36, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
  • Visibility of the number plate was one of the reason, but the customer has some other concerns too. The OTRS ticket can be found here. @Túrelio: I just forwarded the email to you please check. Thank you GSS (talk|c|em) 10:39, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
But I'm unable to view it. How will I know about the other details the person put on the ticket request? --Vauxford (talk) 10:42, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
Thanks, GSS. I hope this was OTRS-conform. Anyway, after reading the request, IMO the only reasonable rationale is "car-plates visible". AFAIK, the owner has no right over an image of his/her car, especially if taken in public space. So, I would allow upload of carplate-censored versions of the images. However, as I'm no expert in UK law, the deciding admin-colleague might also take into account whether there is a legal risk for User:Vauxford, who seems to be identified towards the car-owner. --Túrelio (talk) 10:54, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 Support Are license plates really private information? My gut says that if you're displaying something to the public it's hard to argue that it's private... but I'm sure this has been fought over before and don't object too much to censoring them out, since I'm not sure there is strong argument that they're educationally valuable. I also cannot see the ticket, though, and don't know exactly why it was deleted. Just to confirm, Túrelio, you were able to see the ticket at time of deletion, and it has since been moved? Storkk (talk) 10:52, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
@Storkk, no, as I am no OTRS-volunteer, I wasn't able to see the ticket at the time of deletion. The deletions were based on the provided rationale (as per this request on OTRS ... for privacy reason.) and trust towards OTRS-volunteers. --Túrelio (talk) 10:55, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
@GSS: In which queue is the ticket? Please move it to a Commons queue. Storkk (talk) 11:03, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
@Storkk: It was in info-en I just moved it to commons. GSS (talk|c|em) 11:06, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
Having now read the ticket, I still support undeletion, possibly with the license plates censored, depending on whether that is actually considered private information in the UK. Storkk (talk) 11:10, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
I usually censor the registration plate but I choose not to since it basically a classic (The car is almost 30 years old). Regstration plates in the UK should be kept censored but it not mandatory from what I recall. The best you can do with the registration plate in the UK is finding out the year, make, model, colour, engine size etc. You can find out whether it a write-off or if it stolen as well as finding previous owners but that cost money and usually need special request from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency which can take days and require a valid reason. --Vauxford (talk) 11:16, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
According to a FOI request from 2015, the DVLA apparently considers number plates to be personal information if the owner is an individual. Now, whether or not that should make a difference is another question (your face is also personal information, but if you're walking around in public, it's not private...) but do I think there is a decent rationale to remove the license plate and undelete. Storkk (talk) 11:27, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 Comment Can I write "wiiikis" on it? (Wikipedia says that would be a valid license plate) - Alexis Jazz ping plz 13:23, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
I like the idea but I usually censor registration plate using colours that match the plate. Also the deleted photo was taken at a three-quarters angle which could be difficult to replace each letters. --Vauxford (talk) 13:27, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
(Edit conflict)If there is consensus to undelete, then I would suggest leaving a clear white or black space to make it obvious that something has been removed, not alter it in a fashion that might be misleading to people without knowledge of the history of the file. But so far, there has only been my opinion, no consensus has been demonstrated. Storkk (talk) 13:30, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
@Vauxford: I will have no problem with the angle. I could also replace it with "EXAM PLE" or something. I also support the undeletion btw, assuming OTRS doesn't have much more information than what can be read here. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 14:11, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

So have we made a decision? Or is there further things need to discuss about? --Vauxford (talk) 21:13, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
  •  Support undeleting on the basis that the plate's blurred - In the UK atleast one can obtain the name and address of any vehicle owner though any UK website so the whole privacy thing rather fails on that point, Outside of the UK I don't know if these sorts of things exist but if they do then the only way to "protect" yourself is by never driving your car if that makes sense..... –Davey2010Talk 22:09, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello,

I have uploaded a photo of Patrick J Kennedy to the Patrick J Kennedy wikipedia page which has been removed twice.

On first upload, I followed protocol set forth in the upload guide regarding release of rights.

On second upload, I followed these protocols and additionally sent an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org with the image and Wikipedia's direct language for release of rights on 5/18. It seems to me that this should be sufficient for use of the photo.

I am an authorized representative of Mr. Kennedy, who is requesting that this photo be used. I am a novice wikipedia user and am following protocol to the best of my understanding. I appreciate any further assistance.

Thank you

Files uploaded by VoidWanderer

Several files of mine were deleted, and I have reasons why they should be restored.

1. I've received a permission by Pavel Netesov, the author of the Blokpost Pamyati exhibition {{PermissionOTRS|2018040410013134}}:

2. Large batch of files are exhibition plates, and are falling under {{PD-text}}, because simple geometrical shapes, logos and tiny pictures may not be considered as copyright violation:

The depicted text is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain, because it is not a “literary work” or other protected type in sense of the local copyright law. Facts, data, and unoriginal information which is common property without sufficiently creative authorship in a general typeface or basic handwriting, and simple geometric shapes are not protected by copyright.

--VoidWanderer (talk) 18:56, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose

1) These must wait their turn at OTRS. When they reach the head of the queue there in about 50 days, if the license is acceptable they will be automatically restored.
2) I looked at about half of these and all of the ones I looked at have photographs and/or drawings which have copyrights and all have far more text then is necessary for a copyright. I don't see how we can restore them without a free license from the copyright holders. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:11, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
Jameslwoodward, all of the photos in a nomination are taken by me personally. OTRS ticket was aquired for the exhibition as a whole, not the pictures whose author I am already. So no one will mark them on OTRS queue, they're literally not queued.
Are you really saying exhibition plates that I took photo of are violating the copyrights? --VoidWanderer (talk) 22:16, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

1) I understood your comment to mean that the creator(s) of the works portrayed had sent a free license to OTRS. I have now looked at them, and in every case that will be required. In some cases, there are photographs, text, and other copyrighted works in the images, so the copyrights for those will also have to be freely licensed.

I do not understand "So no one will mark them on OTRS queue, they're literally not queued." OTRS Ticket 2018040410013134, which you cite above, is in the OTRS queue. It will be read and acted on by an OTRS volunteer when it reaches the head of the queue, which will be around June 1.

2) Yes. All of the images that I examined infringe on the copyrights for the drawings, photographs, and the texts shown in them. While I did not look at all of them, I doubt very much that any of them can be kept on Commons. This should not surprise you. Sealle, Christian Ferrer, and I, all experienced Commons Admins, all reached the same conclusion -- that they are all far above the threshold of originality anywhere. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 23:11, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Jameslwoodward, I mean how would those photos be possibly restored, if I have no guarantee OTRS Ticket even have those exact pictures mentioned? I suppose there's only the author's permission to take pictures of his exhibition. So I doubt volunteer will be even notified there're deleted photos that require to be restored. --VoidWanderer (talk) 09:41, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
  •  Oppose per Jim, if the permission is valid then the images will be automatically restored. When you take a photo of something then you own the copyright on your photo, that is true, but if the thing depicted is protected by copyright (which is the case as soon as there is creativity) then the copyright holder of the depicted thing has also some rights on the publication of your photo, and in such cases it is required that we have his permission to publish here the photos. Christian Ferrer (talk) 05:05, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
  • Ticket 2018040410013134 has permission for the Exhibition "Блокпост Пам'яті" from Pavel Netesov. It looks OK for me. But I do not know what pictures are from this exhibition.--Anatoliy (talk) 18:10, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

  • For this sort of thing, we'll really need to go through the COM:OTRS process, where you email in a verification of identity. If you do this broadly enough, and establish whose account this is, you should only have to go through the OTRS process once, and can get permission that also lets this account upload your work in the future. Basically, you'll get a ticket number and that ticket can be put in a template you can use in the future.
  • Please understand, this is for protection of your rights, really the only way we can know that this Commons account is not someone impersonating you. We had a lot of times someone claimed to be a given designer or photographer and wasn't, which is why we initiated that system. - Jmabel ! talk 06:20, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Files uploaded by Atle r s (talk · contribs)

@Atle r s and Jameslwoodward: Back in 2013, Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Atle r s was closed as Delete, because the source page, http://atle.no/?p=1421 was marked Creative Commons Non-commercial, and Atle r s couldn't prove he was the Atle of http://atle.no. A mere 5 years later, I found another one of Atle r s's files, and opened Commons:Deletion requests/File:SynnøveMacodyLund.jpg on basically the same principle - in response to which Atle change the license on his pages - all his pages - to CC-BY-SA! So not only do we get to save File:SynnøveMacodyLund.jpg but we can undelete the other files as well.

Also, if some knowledgeable person can find a template to mark User:Atle r s as having been verified as the Atle of http://atle.no, we can avoid possible future misunderstandings. --GRuban (talk) 20:58, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

File:Coat of arms of the Republic of Ararat.png

Hello. Can you restore this logo that belonged to the organization en:Xoybûn (1927). I myself had sourced with a source dating from the 1930s. This request and the deletion seems incomprehensible to me. Thanks.--Ghybu (talk) 13:51, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose - per Commons:Deletion requests/File:Coat of arms of the Republic of Ararat.png - Jcb (talk) 13:56, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
@user:Jcb: Have you looked at the sources that I added? I think this logo has been removed regardless of the sources. We are told that there is no source but there are sources--Ghybu (talk) 14:00, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
Yes, but I am not impressed. These 'sources' seem to support the concerns of E4024 rather than contradicting them. Jcb (talk) 14:08, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
These sources (for example: (1928), 1930 "Publication de la ligue national kurde de Hoybun" (n°2 and 6) - These are writings published by the organization Xoybûn in the 20s and 30s and we see this logo) attests to the existence and veracity of this logo. I am told there is no source and I show sources to prove otherwise. But I'm not trying to impress anyone. I'm just saying this organization is encyclopedic and it has many pages on Wikipedia. And if there is no copyright problem I do not see why we could not download this 30s logo on Commons.--Ghybu (talk) 15:11, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
Ps:The name of this page was different when I added sources (this page was a redirect). I am for restoration under the other name (File:Logo of the Hoyboon Organization.png) and the deletion of it.--Ghybu (talk) 15:28, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
  • "This request and the deletion seems incomprehensible to me." Subtract "and the deletion" from there and I also sign your sentence. You are telling us that the image was not what it said it was but you're surprised that... Surprised of what? That at some point of time one of the so many baseless information given to WP users for years hit a wall? Will someone apologize for fooling millions of readers for such a long time? I believe we should discuss these things more profoundly in Commons. If we do that once, people will think twice before uploading whatever they wish to our pages and use them the way they wish afterwards. Please let us all not try to help "make" history; but help "tell" it, objectively, to the people who trust WMF projects as a source of information. Image files in Commons are not an exception. --E4024 (talk) 08:36, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
Do not play the candid, I spent time correcting and sourcing this image; in spite of that you still supported the deletion . A request for deletion that can also serve to clarify some points but in this case you have ignored the changes made. This image in the form that I saw and let should not be deleted., that's why I made a request for restoration. I remind you that we are on a wiki and there is also a discussion page that can be used for corrections concerning the informations.
As for your neutrality, your sweet words and your posture of lesson givers seen your passive I do not believe too much. I think it's a camouflage to get your own POV. And in terms of deceiving people you are well-versed:
See cross-wiki on Kurdish and Armenian Genocide articles: [7] (es), [8] (en), [9] (fr) and on ca.wikipedia ([10] and [11]).--Ghybu (talk) 13:24, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
I am a quite "objective" user (and I appreciate it more than being so-called neutral) and in this case happy to have made some users go to search things, it always makes you learn. Now do you feel better informed about some part of history? Good. No need to thank me. BTW I will not respond to your ... (fill in the blanks). If you want to play, use the sandbox. Discuss the file, I will not contribute any more to this. --E4024 (talk) 13:43, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Henrietta Berk

"Copyright violation: Henrietta Berk - died 1990" - completely irrelevant, she's an American. All that matters is the date of the work. As I haven't found any copyright registrations, everything before March 1, 1989 should be public domain. (it doesn't look like she painted copyright notices either, I checked the back of a painting) - Alexis Jazz ping plz 12:50, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz: When were these painted? If after 28 February 1989, her copyright lasts until 1 January 2061 per COM:HIRTLE.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 13:49, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
@Jeff G.: I doubt she painted anything the year before she died, but if you tell me exactly which paintings those files show I'll see what I can find. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 13:56, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
(Edit conflict) Both were painted in the early 1960s according to the Henrietta Berk Research Project. The IA copyright records are currently down for me for a few of the salient years, but there appears to be no renewal by either a "Berk Henrietta" or "Robin Henrietta", but I find my searches on https://cocatalog.loc.gov to be flaky at best, and so the fact that I haven't found it isn't gospel.

I hadn't even noticed these were also from Califpaint. Also see Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Califpaint. I found them at Category:Undelete in 2061 when searching for other works by Henrietta Berk. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 14:34, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
Is File:Henriettaberk.jpg also a painting? - Alexis Jazz ping plz 14:42, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
Yes and no. It's an old photograph of her painting a picture. So it includes the photographer's copyright for the portrait as well as Berk's copyright for the painting. De728631 (talk) 14:44, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
When was their first publication, and did they have copyrighted notices then? If they were first published in a book, they wouldn't be required to have independent notices. If they're post-1963, they don't need renewals, and even before that they could have renewed as part of the larger work. Proving a painting of that era is in the public domain is really hard unless you're really familiar with its history.--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:23, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

File:Protestas por el Caso La Manada - 3.jpg

The photo was removed under three arguments:

  • That it has rights of a third party. False, according to EXIF ​​data I took the photograph by myself.
  • That violates the moral principles of a person, false. The images of the persons in question are of subjects identified and sentenced by the Spanish justice system in a case of public interest (in fact foreseen in the 15/1999 law of the country, although this is not the case, Commons is under US jurisdiction) of which many media outlets (including the country's main television networks) have done the task of dissemination after they were sentenced. The interpretation made of the rule in any case should come from an affected third party and not from a Wikipedia contributor, as it was here.
  • Finally the administrator has stated that it is a derivative work, it is not so, the images of the faces of the people involved are not subject to copyright by the Spanish justice, who presumably is the one who took them the photographs. I don't want to lose the chance to indicate that the User: Iusnaturalista made a presumption in bad faith of me that I violated the rights of a third party as proof of his argument. False absolutely. --ProtoplasmaKid (talk) 15:28, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Sinceramente no puedo entender el empeño que hay en el escarnio público cuando en las consideraciones morales establecidas en Commons se dice claramente que el derecho humano a la intimidad y el honor son susceptibles de priorizar más allá de cualquier otra cuestión técnica o jurídica, con independencia de lo que se haga fuera de la Fundación. Tampoco hay manera de saber si el retrato fotografiado tiene derechos de autor en España, pero el individuo retratado sí tiene derechos sobre su propia imagen, como cualquier persona, siendo innecesario que el afectado reclame este derecho para juzgar la procedencia en Commons. En todo caso, para el artículo enciclopédico no es de interés un retrato con el nombre del enjuiciado; eso se llama amarillismo y es algo que se recomienda evitar.

La foto, además, constituye una difamación (nombre, cara y la palabra violadores), algo explícitamente prohibido https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Photographs_of_identifiable_people/es#Ejemplos

Considerar que la foto podría tener derechos en un sitio web privado o preguntarse cómo es posible que un mejicano haya podido sacar la foto en España, no es presumir mala fe, es duda razonable. --Iusnaturalista (talk) 10:55, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Unless you are also the photographer of the portrait photos on the board, your photograph of said installation infringes on the copyright of these individual portrait photographs. Presumptions that these portraits were possibly taken by the Spanish justice are insufficient because you as the uploader need to provide hard evidence that your work is free to use. Photographs from Spain have a copyright term of 25 years from their creation {{PD-Spain-photo}} and according to our database the copyright exemption for Spanish government works applies only to texts, but not to images.

Thanks Jeff G for the headsup, for everbody's information the above is part of the exchange from User_talk:KTo288#File_deletions.--KTo288 (talk) 14:36, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
I came across these files during a review of newly uploaded files. On examination I noticed that the uploader of the files here is not the original author of the files. On examination of the sources given, e.g. http://postmodernism.lofter.com/post/2b50f5_108cd54c , I was unable to discern the copyright status of the images in question and that they had been released under a free license, I therefore speedied the images with the rationale that there was no indication that the author had released the images with the copyright permissions claimed. On notifying the uploader I saw that he/she has a history of questionable uploads and added a stop copyvios template to the talkpage, before attempting to audit his uploads, I had deleted one other file (see entry above) before the uploader protested, leading to the exchange on my talkpage. The uploader insisted that LOFTER operates under a free license for its content, that others have reviewed content from LOFTER and found that images from there were licensed in a way that allowed its upload here. Rather than trust his word on this I asked for a link to LOFTER's terms of use indicating that this was the case. Instead of such a link I was instead provided with links to static screenshots of what are claimed to be the original upload of these images and evidence that they are indeed free. I might have believed a link to an actual live link, but the repeated dependence on screenshots of no longer available pages as evidence, and the history of troublesome uploads on his page leads me to doubt the veracity and trustworthiness of this uploader.--KTo288 (talk) 15:05, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
@KTo288: You can see a (small) cc-by icon on the live link you provided http://postmodernism.lofter.com/post/2b50f5_108cd54c. The screenshots Puramyun31 provides are only to show you where to find the cc icon on the page. --Wcam (talk) 15:11, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Note: Lofter's terms of use is irrevelent, since like flickr or youtube, lofter is a blog platform and the copyrights of its contents in the blog are belongs to the indivisual blog users. Puramyun31 (talk) 15:31, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

@KTo288: Please don't use abusive language, I looked your edit summary (okay will shut up now and...). Puramyun31 (talk) 15:39, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

@KTo288: While browsing http://postmodernism.lofter.com/post/2b50f5_108cd54c, search for the text "2017-07-13". The cc-by icon is at the end of that line, and links to http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/deed.zh, which is sufficient for our purposes. Sure, the icon could be bigger and have text attached.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 15:32, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
I don't actually see that text at all let alone the icon, but if you and WCam can see something that I cannot, the problem must be with me, not the file nor the uploader. I'll chalk this down as a mistake on my part and restore the files.--KTo288 (talk) 15:44, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
@KTo288: Thank you. I see it in multiple browsers on multiple machines and OSs after canceling the popup (or looking around it).

@Jeff G.: I'm using Chrome on a Lenovo tablet running Android 4.4.2, I see the pics, a box which opens to reveal a couple of words wrt the pics some hashtags and a link for the author, no date or other text, clicking on the author link takes me to a page with a photo roll of all the author's posts, again no copyright data or icons, but this time there are dates. Clicking on the dates however leads back to where I started. Below the author link is a link to open the page in the LOFTER app which leads me to a page asking me if I would like to download it, however clicking on this, makes my tablet protest that opening the app might damage it and it refuses to co-operate.--18:41, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

  •  Oppose This image was not on IMDB as of at least 18. February 2017, meaning Howardlovy uploaded it there sometime thereafter. The image, however, appeared on Flickr, with all rights reserved and credited to "saraharives", on 18. April 2013, years before Howardlevy produced it on IMDB. While this may or may not be true, it needs explanation. The image also appeared on Flickr before upload to the Commons (and likely to IMDB as well) with a credit to "Dazed & Confused Magazine" which, given the subject, lack of camera EXIF, visual characteristics, etc., seems most credible and, in any case, also needs explanation. {{OP}} is/was not appropriate given these infirmities.

File:1800Legionflag.jpg

I do not understand why this is being threatened with deletion again. As I said in the additional note at the bottom of the page, all four flag pictures come from the NYPL Digital Collection (for some reason, when I use the NYPL citation Wiki rejects all but one as duplicates related to NYPL). The pictures come from the Vinkhuijzen collection, which is a scrapbook of bits cut out by a Dutch doctor prior to 1910. The link is at n.32. The NYPL says that as a result of it being a donation to them by the Dutch doctor and being before 1910, all the pics are public domain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DaveHMBA (talk • contribs) 11:39, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[12]

I have told you enough times that this comes from a collection donated to the New York Public Library before 1910 and which the NYPL says is in the public domain. I have used the correct citation they require and the other flags shown in the item are from the same collection.

@DaveHMBA: I reproduced your post to File talk:1800Legionflag.jpg (which may soon be deleted) above. The problem is that under US copyright law, without information about the lifetimes of the authors of those bits and the countries in which those bits were created, we cannot assume that those bits are in the public domain until at least 120 years have passed, that is until 2030. Krdbot came to that conclusion because you didn't use a license tag, but didn't tell you that because it didn't use parameters with {{Copyvionote}}, perhaps @Krd can configure it to do that.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 09:15, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

To whom it may concern,

I would like to request an un-deletion of the photo in this request - both the photographer ('Ian Christmann' <ian@ianchristmann.com>) and I have sent permission to Wikipedia commons to have this photo reinstated. We are doing this on behalf of Tamar Gendler, the individual described at this link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamar_Gendler), who instructed me to get this photo taken so it can be added to her Wikipedia page. All previous efforts to add the photo have failed, I would greatly appreciate consultation on how to add this photo without being deleted.

Thank you for your help in this!

File:Kirsten_Harms_21.jpg Undelete

Ich habe asuführlich begründet mit Emails, dass diese Datei freigegeben ist von den Inhabern der Rechte: Bernd Uhlig, dem Fotografen, und der Deutschen Oper Berlin, deren Intendantin Kirsten Harms von 2004-2011 war und auf deren Webseite das Foto zuerst veröffentlicht war. Eine Rückfrage von Olaf Kosinsky, Wikimedia-Support-Team, habe ich ebenfalls ergänzend beantwortet. Und ich habe ihn gebeten, den Email-Wechsel zwischen Frau Harms und der Deutschen Oper, den ich dort mit weitergegeben habe und der leider in der Foto-Legende mit einzusehen ist, zu löschen. Darum möchte ich weiterhin bitten, weil die privaten Email-Adressen nicht öffentlich sichtbar sein wollen. Aber vor allem möchte ich bitten, dass das Foto endlich freigegeben wird, weil es von den Rechte-Inhabern freigegebn wurde.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Basically, I explained with emails that this file is released by the owners of the rights: Bernd Uhlig, the photographer, and the Deutsche Oper Berlin, whose artistic director was Kirsten Harms from 2004-2011 and whose website the photo was first published on. I also answered a query from Olaf Kosinsky, Wikimedia Support Team. And I asked him to delete the email exchange between Mrs. Harms and the Deutsche Oper, which I passed on with him and unfortunately can be seen in the photo legend. That's why I would like to continue asking, because the private email addresses do not want to be publicly visible. But above all, I would like to ask that the photo is finally released because it was released by the rights owners. Best regards

If you do it again, you may be blocked from editing on Commons.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 06:08, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
