Dear Sir/Madam!

My name is Svetlana Zharkova and I am writing with the regard to the deleted file File:Навчальний корпус №3.png. I am an official representative of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine. As an employee of the University, I've been assigned to edit university pages in Wikipedia and keep them up-to-date. All the materials I use while editing the pages (in Ukrainian, Russian, and English (in the nearest future) were provided by the University administration, including the deleted file File:Навчальний корпус №3.png.

As I am new to Wikipedia, I might have made a technical mistake while uploading (like choosing the wrong license). I would appreciate undeleting the file and pointing out the mistake I've made if any.

If there is any document necessary for me to provide conforming my position at the university, or, possibly, contact details of my supervisor, I'll be glad to provide those.

Respectfully yours, Svetlana Zharkova — Preceding unsigned comment added by Світлана Жаркова (talk • contribs) 10:24, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

I recently added this image (MonsterVision.jpg), and it was deleted, although there is an exact type of image already present in the Wikipedia article that has not been deleted. The image in question was a title card from the now defunct MonsterVision program, which an immense number of other sites use. It is actually one of the first images that appears if you google "MonsterVision." Additionally, there is already a title card (O_HaMfAHHDMQF5uAN.jpeg) that was accepted. The only way that title card could have been acquired is if it was screen shotted from a recording of MonsterVision the same way mine was (no one owns it other than TNT). Thus, if my picture violated copyright, so does that one, and should thus be deleted as well. That would then leave it impossible to have a picture for MonsterVision, as any image that you can find has to be a screenshot from the show itself. But, if anything, I would appreciate an explanation of why no one ever deleted the current title card on the wikipedia page, yet deleted mine, which is also an acquired screenshot from the program, just older. Thank you.

  • This was deleted by German-speaking admin Hystrix (and Krd blocking earlier), impacting on two separate mainspace En-Wikipedia articles (3x including a Talk page).
  • The image is needed at another new mainspace location, so 4x after undeletion
  • I requested advice from a non-involved English speaking admin as the reasons (in poor broken English) did not make sense to me
  • All files were deleted under the precautionary principle (Commons:PRP)
  • The image was a street-scene snap, not a professional work, not copyvio in my opinion
  • I cannot now see any other uploads from the same user, and did not look at the time
  • I did not save a copy so cannot run-through software such as Tineye
  • No other free replacement image is known

Thank you.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 12:58, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

  • Comment OK, thanks I had already looked at the pre-court Euro currency scam but could't comment due to edict conflict. I will look in more detail later. Be aware when I gave reasons for wanting the image, I had no way of anticipating this gross scale, and it was nearly two years ago when I first saw the En mainspace and Talk page containing the image. It's a case of 'all been discussed before...'. I'm also aware of Flickr-washing. The hidden problem here is that British motorcycling history is unwittingly being re-written by the internet (by some ten years) and I just wanted an image to complement the prose, some of which I have not yet uploaded to the 'new' article.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 13:42, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

This file has been deleted as "copyright infringement" but without reason - the field designated to provide a reason is filled with a link to a page in my website for which I created this image. The fact that I uploaded it to my website and WM means WM doesn't have exclusive permissions, it doesn't imply any copyright infringement. The file was removed before I could respond - at the moment I can't even check whether this concerns an English-language version that I adapted from the Dutch original (as I probably did). If the guide lines were updated and uploading one's own work is now considered copyright infringement, I was in the wrong. Otherwise, please undelete this image.

why did you delete it

what is y'all DOING

Sydney kydney (talk) 09:52, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

What we are trying to do is 1) to protect autors/artist/creators from getting their artwork stolen and 2) to protect re-users of the files hosted on Commons from getting sued for copyright infringement. Each day hundreths or thousands of copyvios are uploaded to Commons, which need to be detected as early as possible. As we are all unpaid volunteers, we have only limited time for this patroling work. Therefore, we are forced to err on the safe side. The copyright to album covers usually belongs to the record company or to the group/musician. So, in absolutely most cases of such uploads, the uploader has no permission to distribute the image under a free license. --Túrelio (talk) 11:46, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Orestes Matacena, a Casual Patriot, request for undeletion

I am Orestes Matacena, and I am requesting to have this picture re-posted to my wiki page. This is a picture of and owned by me, in Los Angeles, California, a photo as a character, which could be a number of characters like a casual patriot, professor, writer, detective, etc. It is representative of the many characters I have played as and actor. Although I may be more known for playing the bad guy in movies, I have done many commercials as various characters. It is another side of mine for people to know about me as an actor. This photo is also posted to my IMDb Pro account for industry professionals to view and is also open to the general public for viewing. If verification is needed, my contact information is available, and I can be contacted directly for verification. I have also submitted a notice by email to the permissions department as instructed in the Help section. --Matacena (talk) 00:15, 6 June 2018 (UTC)


 Not done: @Orestes Matacena: all of your uploads are photos of yourself, but the copyright holder of a photograph is almost always the photographer and not the subject. Please note that since we are a repository of free media that anybody can use for any purpose, that simply having the right to disseminate or use your photo for publicity is not sufficient. We don't accept "Wikipedia-only" files, please see COM:L. The copyright holder will need to confirm the license with the permissions team (following the instructions on OTRS). Once that is done, a member of that team will request the files' undeletion. --Storkk (talk) 08:03, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

Es handelt sich um ein Notenbeispiel aus einer Serie von 20 in der Category:Beethoven’s neunte Symphonie (1838). Das File wurde nach sieben Tagen gelöscht, weil: „No license since 10 November 2011“. Da die anderen 19 die Lizenzangaben haben, ist klar, dass es sich in diesem einen Fall um ein Versehen des Uploaders gehandelt haben wird. Das Notenbeispiel wird für den Artikel w:de:Beethoven’s neunte Symphonie benötigt – ich bitte daher um Wiederbelebung. Viele Grüße von --Konrad Stein (talk) 22:47, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

File: Beethoven's Ninth Symphony (1838; 19) .svg It is a score from a series of 20 in the category: Beethoven's Ninth Symphony (1838). The file was deleted after seven days because: "No license since 10 November 2011". Since the other 19 have the license details, it is clear that this case was an oversight of the uploader.

My picture has been available for open use for about 10 years and you can see the D70 camera used matches other picture I made available at the same time on Wikimedia commons. If you search the web you can see other companies have used my picture on their website. I also see that www.tentsandevents.ca has used more of my pictures and that is ok.

Last and key to show they are wasting all of our time … the title and description that www.tentsandevents.ca used on their website "tent gutters" doesn't reflect what is what is in the picture. This is a picture of a High Peak Tent with a Canopy Tent connecting it to a building.

File:Andre Photo 1.jpg Undeletion Request

We've recently uploaded several files that have been deleted.

File:Andre Photo 1.jpg

File:Bruce+.jpg

File:Eko-atlantic.jpg

We are posting these photos on behalf of the subject represented by these images, Andre Morgan. We attempted to reupload a file after it appeared the first upload was removed, and we were contacted by Ronhjones, who asked us not to reupload deleted files.

I am able to provide evidence to the ownership of these files, but I am not sure what I could provide that would be satisfactory, as they were taken by Andre's Wife/A Producer from Golden Harvest Productions/Andre himself.

How can we work to resolve this?

Hello, 3 days ago I asked for temporary undeletion according to this OTRS ticket (please see the request) and the request was accepted by @Rimshot: . But after less than 10 hours the pictures were deleted by @Jcb: , although the temporary undeletion should be for 2 days. Accoeding to Jcb, the reason was "Recreation of content deleted per community consensus". May I just ask for the explain of that consensus? I would like to find a reason to know what should I write to the OTRS applicant. I am also sorry for writing after 3 days, I didn´t have enough time to write earlier. Thank you, --Michal Lenc (talk) 19:27, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello,

I understand that copyright is one of your priorities just as fake information but i do have the rights for this image. I bought it from the photographer but have no way to prove it on your website ..... I tried to put the photographer's name for credits but couldn't manage to fing how on your complicated website. Could you tell me how to add the photographer's name to the image and tell me if it would be sufficient ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by PaquierM (talk • contribs) 10:14, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I am not an admin, but I thought I may try to help to clarify some things. It is actually more complicated than you think. There's a difference between buying an image and buying a copyright for that image. Think about the book, you buy the book, but you cannot use that purchase as a justification to begin distributing it over the internet afterwards. Now, it is possible that you have purchased the copyright for the image (I have no way of knowing actually). In that case technically you can licence it under a free licence. However, I think that without some sort of the evidence that the copyright transfer was completed this image will not be undeleted. It does seem unfair, but it is due to the huge amount of people who misunderstand or just lie about having the copyright. Gone Postal (talk) 11:24, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

@Magog the Ogre: That's one of the more simple ones. I think it's below US TOO, but I can see the argument of those saying it exceeds it. The letters are not just a custom font, they are customized for the logo. The shield is probably simple enough, but only just. Compare to the Batman bat sign which we don't allow afaik. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 17:50, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
  • I agree that it doesn't look complex enough, but apart from that, I found w:File:WBR goldstereo.jpg on English Wikipedia. The fair use rationale states this purpose: This image is an example of the standard label design used for Warner Bros. Records (USA) stereo LP albums between 1958 and 1960. If a variant of this logo already was in use in the United States in 1958, then it is very likely that the logo appeared somewhere, for example in an advertisement or on a sign, without a copyright notice, so it's also a very likely case of {{PD-US-no notice}}.

If the wife of Micha took this image, then she is the copyright holder. It is not the subject of the image that holds the copyright, but the person who has actually created something (in this case a photo). If Micha has published this photo without listing the photographer, that does not mean that it is not a copyright violation. The best approach would be to try to get Micha's wife to release the image under a free licence or into the public domain. Then you could send this release to COM:OTRS and the file will get restored.

This was deleted as part of Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Stephencdickson, which was closed as "Kept: the ones based on a clearly PD picture, deleted the rest", which was the general consensus during the DR. However, a number (such as this one) were still deleted despite being based on a seemingly clearly PD picture -- perhaps the admin discounted PD-UK-unknown as a valid license? In any event, the source photo was published here in a 1913 book without any author being named; it is both {{PD-UK-unknown}} and {{PD-1923}}, so the derivative work should be fine.

This was deleted as part of Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Stephencdickson. It was not listed in the "keep" section, due to a possible author credit at the bottom left, so quite understandable if it was not looked at carefully. However, that was later determined to be "Swain sc", the mark of the company of w:Joseph Swain (engraver), which was a publisher's mark and not photographer. It is the same mark seen in this print, published in the wake of King Edward VII's death in 1910, which was itself a reprint of this William Downey photograph. The immediate source is here, which sources the photo to a 1936 obituary for Denny, but which was clearly published much earlier. That page also has a photo of Denny published in 1914, where Denny looks very similar and not aged significantly either way, so those two photos were likely taken not too far apart. The photo certainly seems to be PD-UK-unknown, and it also seems virtually certain that this source photo was published in the early 1910s as well, making it PD-1923 at least beyond a significant doubt.

The File:KnowledgeTrain Logo.jpg was nominated for deletion for the reason - 'Unused promotional logo, no educational value, out of scope'.

Unused promotional logo - it's currently used by Knowledge Train (knowledgetrain.co.uk), a London-based training provider which I'm representing here. We have also reserved the logo copyright. No educational value & out of scope - vaguely unsure of these reasons. The nominated logo published in here, as mentioned above is currently and actively used by a legit organisation. We also provided the needed description for it.

Thus, I'm requesting for the file's undeletion.

We, at Knowledge Train, hope your consider our request.

Hi,

@Jcb: deleted Commons:Deletion requests/File:Blason ville fr Semmadon 70.svg per a request of @Castillo blanco: . But the whole request is blatantly wrong, there is absolutely no shred of beginning of valid reason for deletion. « The source website has a NC restriction. » the website is a source for the blazon, not for the image, so no problem here (especially as the blazon is PD-old and PD-simple). «  DW of work with incompatible license » it's absolutely not a DW. For context, we have more than 50 000 similar coat of arms, should we delete them too? and the drawer, @Chatsam: made herself more than 5000 similar coat of arms and hundreds of contributors do the same everyday. I don't understand at all and I can't believe that the deletion request for granted... and that my undeletion was reverted when the case is so crystal clear. Commons:WikiProject Heraldry is notified too. Cdlt, VIGNERON (talk) 09:08, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose - DW rather than own work, no source for the depiction of the bird. Note that a look at the history shows that VIGNERON was not the only one who circumvented our processes in this case. The file was first tagged as 'no source', which was removed by uploader, which should never happen. Of course the uploader cannot 'keep' their own upload when tagged for deletion. Jcb (talk) 09:15, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
@Jcb: sad and sorry to have to say it again: no, absolutely not, this is not DW, not at all, how can you say that?

f the correct originality criterion is what you can create with Illustrator within 12 minutes, then it means that China uses the sweat of the brow doctrine, which has been rejected by courts in most countries.

In China, for even an extremely simple design it may still take a lawsuit to determine if it is eligible for copyright protection (see the news article on 'Kon' suing Apple for copyright infringement, and the Dongcheng District People's Court in Beijing has accepted the lawsuit [8]). Therefore one cannot say that the image in question is 100% above China's TOO, but it's safe to say the image in question is NOT 100% below China's TOO. --Wcam (talk) 14:48, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

This was deleted as part of Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Stephencdickson. However, it was a very late addition to the DR, and really did not have the same rationale as the rest of the nominated works, so I think it should be more carefully judged.

Most of the uploader's earlier works were easily identifiable with a single source work with obviously copied expression, making them derivative, and thus the copyright status was based on that of the underlying work. The above DR was about all those uploads, where we managed to find the source work to many, with some being out of copyright, and some not. It is however possible to make a drawing which is not derivative of source photos. It appears the uploader took that to heart, and changed their process -- from memory, this did not look to be in the same style as earlier uploads. This upload was made following the above DR and other copyright-related discussions with the uploader, and was added to the DR long after it was made. I think one of the source photos is here, and possibly some others, but when I originally looked I felt the drawing was not derivative of that photo, but rather was an original drawing merely using the photos as a reference for what the person looked like, but changing enough of the angle, and the specific facial expression and details, such that the expression specific to the photo was not copied. If so, that would make the drawing an original work and OK. This is more of a judgement call, but I'm not sure it was fairly considered under those grounds as it was lumped in with a mass DR of other files which had a different rationale. So, having this undeletion request to better debate it. Unless there is another source photo found that I missed, my original impression was that the drawing was OK (though I can no longer see it).

File was deleted as a result of Commons:Deletion requests/File:Marvel Cinematic Universe logo.png. The reasoning was "clear 3D effect, logo is problematic".

I understand that the star field in the original background could potentially be problematic (although debatable) and that was removed. However, there is nothing in US copyright law that grants copyright to text 3D or otherwise. Proof of this can be found in the copyright compendium section 313.4(J). Letters are considered "familiar symbols" and "familiar symbols and designs are not copyrightable and cannot be registered with the U.S. Copyright Office, either in two-dimensional or three-dimensional form."

The star field version can be removed due to the debatable nature of TOO in that instance but the version with just the letters is {{PD-textlogo}} in the US. Requesting a reversal of that DR decision please. --Majora (talk) 20:21, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

  • Signing your posts on talk pages is required and it is a Commons guideline to sign your posts on deletion requests, undeletion requests, and noticeboards. To do so, simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments. Your user name or IP address (if you are not logged in) and a timestamp will then automatically be added when you save your comment. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion).

Actually yes, is as you can see for 2016-06. you argumenting 2018 for 2016. So can we go back to the topic. The picture shows an actual mission of military. as you can see here. These reference i see as also part of COA of Bundeswehr. -- Gunnar (💬) 09:17, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
That is your edit count for English Wikipedia, eg. irrelevant as a counter-argument. Your edit count for Wikicommons in May 2018 was 632 edits. Thuresson (talk) 21:36, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
Why is the edit count relevant at all? The image is either in scope and freely distributable or not. In this case the image seems to be copyrighted. If it were US military operation, then the argument can be made that the image was made by the government employee as part of the duties, but in this case it is European Union, even the title of the image says so. Let's imagine that the edit count would not be 632, but 631, would this matter? What if the edit count were 32? What if it were just 2? What if the person didn't edit Commons in May? ℺ Gone Postal ( ) 09:05, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

File:Gihub text logo.png Needs to be undeleted

reasons

  • 1. this image was not taken from the website.
  • 2. the image was downloaded from Zeplin file manager with permission from Global Infrastructure hub's Mark Moseley the COO of the company.
  • 3. This is the same image that is used on their website as the website logo. the logo is also used on communications and as part of a media files download that can be requested from the company.
  • 4. Although it is not clear how to provide express permission to this request. a copy of an email from Mark Moseley can be provided as proof that this image has been approved for use on Wikipedia.
  •  Support {{PD-textlogo}} Yann (talk) 08:33, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
    •  Oppose I have to disagree, Yann. GI Hub is based in Australia where the threshold of originality for graphics is very low. This would likely be copyrighted, so we need an OTRS permission. @Marcodounis: I'm afraid a permission for use at Wikipedia alone is not sufficient. All media at Commons need to be free for anyone to use for any purpose, so we need a free licence by email coming directly from the copyright holder. Please see COM:OTRS for more information. Alternatively, you could upload the logo locally at the English Wikipedia with a fair use rationale. De728631 (talk) 13:15, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

  •  Comment The credit to AFP (Agence France-Presse) is a mis-attribution. The photograph is by Regine Mahaux (or, possibly, Benoit Mahaux). The test is not whether a work is "official", but whether created by a federal employee in the course of their normal duties. Mahaux is not generally a federal employee, and the federal government can hold copyrights transferred to it by non-federal entities. The threshold for restoration would be demonstration either 1) that Mahaux was party to a contract that made them a federal employ related to this image; or 2) that the federal government deliberately released copyrights (i.e., something more than mere appearance on a federal site.) I'm not asserting a position on the copyright status one way or another, just noting that the rationale above is inadequate. Note that this would be a duplicate of File:Melania Trump Official Portrait.jpg anyway. Эlcobbola talk 12:43, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

it is requested to cancel the deletion of this file, it is 100% legal, svg format is an official flag of the Concello da Guarda published in http://www.depontevedra.es/?1,6784 version of that design --Nemigo galiza 11:09, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

not true, there was a previous design jpg that was deleted because it was downloaded from a website (Deputación de Pontevedra) the current design is svg created by me from scratch. It is a design based on a public description of the administration: Bandeira en campo de gules, cruz llana blanca, co escudo ó centro. Expediente de aprobación en trámite na Comisión de Heráldica. Non adaptada tampouco ó Decreto 258/1992, do 10 de setembro, e ó Decreto 369/1998 --Nemigo galiza 12:16, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
 Support The upload at Commons is different from the one shown at the webpage, and in heraldry it is legit to draw one's own rendition from the public domain blazon of a coat of arms. In this case even the bannerpole is drawn differently, so although the designs are similar there is no copyright infringement. De728631 (talk) 13:24, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi,

The photo File:Aly Ryan PR Photo 2018.jpg was mistakenly flagged for copyright violation do to a twitter post by the artist. https://twitter.com/alyryanmusic/status/1003448088285999104 If you notice in the tweet the photographer, Outherevisuals, is credited in the post. The post was a joke because the photographer is a friend of the artist and did the photo shoot for free. The photographers Instagram you will see other photos of the artist. https://www.instagram.com/outherevisuals/?hl=en

Hi Thuresson which photo are you referring to by Dubai based photographer Pia Torelli? I don't believe I have used any of his work? Thanks for your attention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TeddyFang (talk • contribs) 21:29, 21 June 2018 (UTC)TeddyFang (talk) 21:38, 21 June 2018 (UTC)TeddyFang

There is a news item about a building in San Francisco with a photo of a man interviewed. The photo is credited to Pia Torelli. Thuresson (talk) 05:06, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi again Thuresson. Thanks for your clarification on which photo you are referring to. I see the photo, but I cannot see the credit line. Regardless of the credit, however, my understanding is that the copyright is owned by the newspaper, not the photographer. are you challenging the copyright of the Independent newspaper to this photo that appeared in the newspaper? It is possible that I can just use another picture of the newspaper as illustration for this wikipedia entry. However, I would like to get clarification on the policy point. Thanks again for your attention to this. TeddyFang (talk) 19:12, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Also, if you check Pia Torelli's linkedin page https://www.linkedin.com/in/pia-torelli-810b295/, there is a testimonial in Pia's profile from a former editor at the Independent who confirms that she did take pictures for the newspaper. Therefore the newspaper owns the copyright, not the photographer. Please let me know if you think I am mistaken about any of this. thanks TeddyFang (talk) 19:17, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

It was only a mistake of not knowing how to do things properly. I uploaded this photo because I hired the photographer to take me the picture and so I have permission to use it. Nevertheless I don't have any problem with giving the proper credit to the photographer.

So, the second time I uploaded this photo was without knowing what was the procedure to do so. I just want to be able to use this photo and this time giving the proper credit to the photographer.

Thank you very much in adavance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irazema González (talk • contribs) 03:53, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

The website boriskomitov.com and the wikipedia page Борис Комитов (певец) are owned by the me. All the images from the website are free for web use. Also the contact page http://boriskomitov.com/contact/ points to the same Wikipedia page.

Best Regards, Boris Komitov — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikincce (talk • contribs) 12:58, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

  •  Oppose I'm sorry, but you don't own bg:Борис Комитов (певец) even if you started the page. All edits to Wikipedia articles are made under a free licence that allows anyone to edit the article. So the copyright to the current article is held by all previous editors and not just by you. As to the photograph, owning a copy of a picture does not make you the copyright holder. The copyright photographs usually rests with the photographer, so unless you took this picture yourself, please have the original photographer forward a permission by email via COM:OTRS. Moreover, the website Boriskomitov.com has a disclaimer "All Rights Reserved" which contradicts your statement that all those images are free for web use. However, even if this was true, it would not be sufficient for the purposes of Wikimedia Commons. We require all uploads to be free for any use anywhere, even offline and for commercial exploits. De728631 (talk) 13:07, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
  • Agreed but let him change that "All Rights Reserved" at Boriskomitov.com to "CC-BY-SA". Faster for OTRS and simpler for everybody. If this is impersonation and this user cannot change the source site, then OTRS avoids wasting its time. -- Tuválkin 15:32, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
  • @Nikincce and Tuvalkin: I'm not sure. The CC BY-SA would seem to apply to the whole site. The webdesign is from Webgene Designs so it probably doesn't apply to that. And the 2 minute samples for each track, are they CC BY-SA as well? I'm not sure you meant to do that. The photos were probably taken by several different photographers, I'm not sure if you'll have the rights for all of them. Your main goal is probably to get a picture for the infobox on w:bg:Борис Комитов (певец). I would suggest you pick one picture that you are sure you own the copyright for and release that picture on your site with CC BY(-SA) 4.0 license. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 06:35, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
  • I have just spoken with Boris Komitov about his photography and he was clear that his daughter is behind the camera when these photos were taken. She is his PR & Photographer and she release all of her photos taken with the license CC BY-SA. So do we need to write some additional page in the website boriskomitov.com with a hard copy of a license document by her, where she explain this and put her signature at the end of the document?--Nikincce (talk) 15:36, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
  • @Nikincce: I have a question. You first signed saying "Best Regards, Boris Komitov" but now you spoke with Boris Komitov. Assuming you weren't talking to yourself, who are you?
We would like to know the name of the daughter so we can give attribution. If you could put a signed license document on boriskomitov.com that would be absolutely perfect and remove all possible doubt, if this is a possibility for you I highly recommend it. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 17:28, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
  • @Alexis Jazz: Hi, My name is Nikolay and with Boris we together tried to complete his page in Wikipedia. We both have access to this account and fulfill with information the page about his biography. Vesela Komitova is the daughter (photographer) of Boris Komitov. We will create the license document and upload it when it's signed and we will write back here. --Nikincce (talk) 03:59, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Art works by Wang Hsiu-Ch

I requested deletion of the files listed at Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Art works by Wang Hsiu-Ch because, at the time, COM:FOP#Taiwan (Republic of China) prohibited photographs of artistic works (old revision). However, since then, discussion at CT:FOP#FOP in Taiwan has determined that the interpretation of Taiwan law was too restrictive and that there is freedom of panorama for outdoor 3D art, so these files should be restored and tagged with {{FoP-Taiwan}}. clpo13(talk) 19:06, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

I've no idea what M. Rogel and/or Yann are talking about when they claim I recreated this image after it was deleted. I uploaded it just once so that is not the case. Please restore it pronto!
In point of fact the picture is still there, and it rather looks as if they may be working too hard and perhaps should take a break from this kind of activity. The date and time in the upload history identifies the picture as the one I posted originally.
I gather there are doubts in connection with permission, but if there is one I can ask our Librarian to send his email again if the copyright guardians can't find it.
I've also changed the specified 'source' to Trinity College, as that is where the photo originally came from. Satisfied? --Brian Josephson (talk) 10:36, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

If the link you haven't provided is http://www.academia-net.org/artikel/1170345, it denotes that this photo is © Trinity College Cambridge so that is not "under a free license".

Hi, I am writing in English, because the deletion has been done by an English moderator (I guess).

  • Signing your posts on talk pages is required and it is a Commons guideline to sign your posts on deletion requests, undeletion requests, and noticeboards. To do so, simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments. Your user name or IP address (if you are not logged in) and a timestamp will then automatically be added when you save your comment. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion).

1105863-1920x1080--DesktopNexus.com-.jpg IS MY OWN CAR.. why are you accusing me of copyright! and why did my page get deleted?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Camarosource (talk • contribs) 11:00, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

The filename implies that the image was taken from DesktopNexus.com, and it can also be found at Pinterest without a free licence. The one at DesktopNexus was also uploaded by a user named Camarosource, but we get lots of impostors every day who claim to be the authors of images when they are not. Therefore we have a policy that "new" free licences for images that have been published elsewhere before need to be verified by the copyright holder. The easiest way to undelete your image over here, would be a post by you at DesktopNexus where you grant a Creative Commons share-alike 4.0 licence for this photo like you did here. Alternatively, you may send an email to permissions-commons(at)wikimedia.org, but this will take several weeks to be processed. De728631 (talk) 11:48, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

File:My father and me.jpg - wrong file deleted?

[Moving discussion here, as Jameslwoodward is on a break. Two files have been using the same (too generic) file name. It seems one was mistakenly deleted (the other was moved and is discussed), but the admin thinks it was a copyvio, although the evidence was deemed sufficient in a DR. --LPfi (talk) 14:17, 4 June 2018 (UTC)]


I am confused about the history of File:My father and me.jpg. I wonder if it was deleted by accident. For me as non-admin it seems the file discussed in Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Mandoji.Dawood khan was moved to a new name 22 December 2017 at 19:59 (and now requested for deletion in Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Memories of my life - being my personal, professional, and social recollections as woman and artist (1907)) while the one you deleted seems to be the one discussed in Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Sandlapper1709, where it was decided to be kept.

I have not been following my watchlist lately, so did not get any notice at the time of deletion. It is very frustrating to try to reconstruct what has happened without access to the history of deleted file. It is also very frustrating to notice a file I probably found worth keeping having been deleted as "personal files", with little possibility to see what file this is about.

I think those who argued for not deleting a file should be notified when it is nominated for deletion a second time, or about to be deleted without a new nomination.

(Please ping me, as I do not follow my Commons watchlist regularly for the time being.)

--LPfi (talk) 12:11, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

The file is both an unused personal file and a probable copyvio, as the uploader is the subject of the image and there is no evidence of a license from the photographer. The file description says that the author was the uploader's father, but since the father is also in the image, that is unlikely. Even if the father is the author (self-timer?), we still require a license via OTRS. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:01, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
The uploader states (in a diff linked from the short DR) "All three photos are in my possession, were photographed by my late father, and any identifiable people in one photo are [...] me as an infant and my late father, taken with a timer beside the family garage." Why does it "seem unlikely" that the author was the father as stated? We usually believe uploaders, why would we need an OTRS in this case? For the "personal file" thing, that needs a DR, and the file already survived one. These are historical photos, which are not easily replaced. --LPfi (talk) 14:17, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
The question to answer here is why are they relevant historical photos. Are they educational useful? Ruthven (msg) 21:53, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
That is hard to discuss while the photo is deleted. It survived a DR and was later deleted without notice. If it is to be deleted as not in scope we need a new DR (with a pointer to the category with better similar photos).
As to the relevance, I think we need samples of "personal photos" as historic documents on that genre, and on everyday situations and milieus of the time. We do not need any and all personal photos people are uploading, but I suppose we do not have an abundance of personal photos from the 1950s, so we should be careful to check that any such photo we delete is such that we have better ones (in quality and documentation) of the specific type. This applies partly also for modern photos, but for those replacements will usually appear, and with modern ones flooding the site can be a real problem.
--LPfi (talk) 08:06, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
To aid the discussion about the usefulness of this particular image I have temporarily undeleted the file pending the outcome of this undeletion request. De728631 (talk) 13:30, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
Pinging @LPfi: In case you missed my previous comment, now that the image is visible again, would you like to weigh in on its educational usefulness? Apparently nobody else is interested in this discussion any more. De728631 (talk) 05:17, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
@De728631, LPfi, and Sandlapper1709: Having now seen the photo, I have doubts about the educational usefulness. The file does not appear to have been used, so it appears to be OOS.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 05:41, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

[indent]
This photo will hardly be used in Wikipedia, but I insist a collection of family photos from different times and cultures is of significant educational value. I note that Category:Fathers and children in the United States and Category:Fathers and sons have no similar photos. I do not know where else to search. I understand this is an area where categorisation is less than complete, but nevertheless.

About nobody being interested, this is not a DR (the image survived when nominated for deletion) and not even the uploader had been notified, so I suppose some people who would otherwise take part are missing.

--LPfi (talk) 06:16, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

 Keep I concur that this is a piece of historical documentation. At least it could be used as a reference for children's fashion of the era, so it is realistically useful for an educational purpose. So it is in scope even if it wasn't actively being used before. De728631 (talk) 12:23, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

These were uploaded by User:Smutsmaker, because those were reuploads of files previously deleted part of a mass DR for files of that user. I am currently discussing the user's upload on their talk page (in German) and they assured me that those two photos were self-shot. I believe that Smutsmaker acted in good faith uploading the previous photos, but did not understand our licensing rules, but I believe that these two photos are indeed their own work.

Of course we should also have provided an OTRS ticket at the time of upload, and I'm sorry that we didn't do that.

For unknown reasons Jcb has been constantly deleting File:Olympian fire thief.png even though it has repeatedly been demonstrated not to be a copyright violation. No valid response has been given. I believe its time for a formal undeletion request that will hopefully end this issue, and also an unblocking of the files uploader, who has only uploaded this one image in a few versions and was blocked for uploading it after it was wrongfully deleted. A discussion can be seen on this page w:WP:DINOART under the section "Pyroraptor". IJReid (talk) 18:20, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

As said, let the uploader contact OTRS. Jcb (talk) 18:26, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
Why should the uploader need to contact OTRS? There is no valid reason I can find to assume the artwork is not the uploaders own. A reverse image search came up with no similar results; requested fixes were completed to the exact same standard and quality as the rest of the work; the editor has repeatedly stated it is their own work. IJReid (talk) 21:10, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

 Comment There was no reason for a speedy deletion, as I can't find any evidence of a copyright violation. One may question that the file is in scope, but a proper DR should be use for that. I unblocked the uploader. Regards, Yann (talk) 18:31, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
I agree with IJReid and Yann here. Jcb, there is no point in sending this to OTRS. OTRS can do only two things: verify the user's identity and have them certify that they release it under a free license. The former is useless, as this work is apparently unpublished outside of Commons. The latter is redundant, as they agreed to our terms when uploading. OTRS is horribly backlogged and is a huge time sink for volunteers, so let's not involve it unless necessary. There are other polite ways to say "piss off." Guanaco (talk) 21:32, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Please temporarily undelete all so I can take a look at them. I'm familiar with some of the complexities of Tasnim. At least File:Hadi Hajatmand & Ali Soleimani at the Eighth Ammar Film Festival.jpg appears to have been wrongly deleted. It's https://newsmedia.tasnimnews.com/Tasnim/Uploaded/Image/1396/10/15/139610152329007612973144.jpg and any derivative work that may be seen on that image would obviously be DM, so now I want to look at everything that was nominated. - Alexis Jazz 16:50, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Please ping me if this request is honored as I don't check this page on a regular basis. - Alexis Jazz 23:55, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz: I revised the files, and undeleted the ones that imho do not provide enough copyright works inside or that deserve to be discussed further. For instance, the "Camp Speicher massacre Location after Fall of ISIS" series show mainly derived works and thus I haven't restored them. Here's the list of the undeleted files, to which I added {{Temporarily undeleted}}. Please revise them and/or remove the template + nominate them again for deletion in order to have a more specific discussion:

Thanks --Ruthven (msg) 07:39, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, I will check them all. (only taken a quick look now) Although I personally don't think it will be needed for any of these, I'll upload new versions for some to remove all doubt. I've already uploaded a new version for the first two. For some I'm somewhat puzzled why they were nominated in the first place, like File:Commemoration of 30th of December in Mosalla of Gorgan 08.jpg. My best guess is because Commons FoP rules say there is no FoP in Iran, even for architecture, and some bits of the building can be seen. Seems like DM to me. Should we really want to delete all photos of events that take place in copyrighted buildings? I have yet to take a closer look at the copyright law (glanced over it a few days ago), but I suspect our interpretation of "no FoP in Iran" is not in the spirit of the law and I would also doubt that anyone in Iran would share our interpretation. I know this is not the place for a discussion about it, but for the sake of my blood pressure I don't actually want to discuss it now anyway. Just making a note, consider it an opinion - I'm sure several people will strongly disagree and I haven't taken a closer look yet. (a relevant link to the discussion(s) that resulted in our FoP policy for Iran are welcome though)
I normally wouldn't say this, but because I'm not trusted I will state it literally: I will judge (and alter/nominate if needed) these images using our existing FoP (and DM) rules. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 09:07, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
I've been surprised myself that certain files were deleted. Anyways, @Alexis Jazz: feel free to open a DR for more discussion on those that are borderline. Others can be directly kept, and I've left deleted the ones that whouldn't stand a chance under current rules (unless some serious blurring/cropping is done). --Ruthven (msg) 13:14, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
@Ruthven: I checked them all. Blurred some, cropped some, added {{De minimis}} to many just to be sure.
If among the files that you said would stand no chance in a DR without blurring/cropping there are some that include something else that can be used (like a person), you can undelete them and I'll crop/blur them. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 02:18, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

What are our stance on a person releasing a low-res file under a free license on Commons, but high-res on Flickr? We have gone forth and back on that issue over a long-time on noticeboards and specific images in the past, and yet we don't have a written policy about it yet.

Creative Commons has stated the following on this issue:

[I]f the low-resolution and high-resolution copies are the same work under applicable copyright law, permission under a CC license is not limited to a particular copy, and someone who receives a copy in high resolution may use it under the terms of the CC license applied to the low-resolution copy.

I believe we need a set precedence and written a policy about "low-res versions of files being free while claiming the high-res is a different work". But until then, we should side with Creative Commons, it is them that wrote the licenses in question. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 23:44, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

I think we should allow it -- the situation could differ by country. Creative Commons is just restating copyright law, in that in some countries it may not be legally possible to separate, copyright-wise, a low-res versus high-res photo. That aspect is not part of their license. In countries where that is possible, the license would only cover the low-res version and any use of the high-res version would be a copyright violation. I do think we should allow and respect that situation here, even if the U.S. is one of those countries where it may not be possible. (The difficulty comes in the nature of the copyrighted expression for a photograph -- quite often the subject itself is not copyrightable, so the copyright rests on the angle, framing, and other aspects which would exist in full in even the low-resolution photo, and that would be the expression the photographer would be licensing. But it's just as possible that a judge could find some aspect which exists more in only the high-res, and uphold the licensing based on that.)
The problem comes from the national definition of "work". For example, under Swedish copyright law, a photo is usually not a "work" so there are maybe situations where application of a Creative Commons licence can be unpredictable. I don't know how Egyptian law defines a "work". However, other than just looking at the national definition of a "work", I think that we also need to look at what the licensor has stated. In this case, the uploader licensed content by using Commons templates which use a mixture of "file" and "work":
I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publish it under the following license:
This file is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic license.
to share – to copy, distribute and transmit the work
to remix – to adapt the work
attribution – You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).
If you talk about licensing a "file" rather than a "work", then maybe this has the effect that you unintentionally don't license the file under the real CC licence but under a modified licence which licenses "files" instead of "works". It gets more confusing when the templates mix the words "file" and "work". Technically, the legally binding wording is the one used when the user uploaded the file, but I have not checked if the wording in the templates has changed since the file was uploaded. --Stefan2 (talk) 21:53, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
Not sure the issue the definition of a "work" in that sense -- you are using the license for whatever rights you do have, be they a "work" per a country's law or a "simple photo" or whatever. As long as you have copyrights (or effectively the same thing) over a portion of material, which you can define, you can license that material, which is the "work" from the license's perspective. To my mind, the issue that Creative Commons is pointing out is that all the material that a photographer has rights over may be just as much present in the low-resolution version of a photo as a larger version -- thus that by licensing the lower-resolution file, there is no additional expression in the higher-resolution version they can protect with a more restrictive license. If it's an image of a painting, there likely would be more expression present in the higher-resolution photo than the low-res, and that expression would not be licensed, so a painter could use this approach most likely. But for a snapshot, that may well not be the case (though that has not been tested in a court of law). It is possible that by licensing a low-resolution photo, they have licensed the entirety of their own expression, so they can no longer prevent usage of a higher-resolution version. The question comes down to if a country's copyright law can identify protectable expression in a higher-resolution version that is not present in a lower-resolution version. If there is such expression, then that expression is not licensed by just the low-res version, and the practice is legally valid as the author can claim infringement of that additional expression. But if the law cannot find such expression, then all of the expression is licensed, and the author cannot prevent usage of the high-res version in accordance with the license.
While that is a distinct possibility, we have no court case guidance over something like that, and even if true in one country in may not be in another, so I would allow the practice -- if someone wants to use a higher-resolution version and risk the consequences, that is up to them, but I think we should not provide the higher-resolution versions here when that has not been explicitly licensed. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:14, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
Since this whole problem with higher resolution versions is untested and based on legal theory, I think that we should provide a warning template if we ever host a higher resolution version so that reusers are made aware of the problem. That said, per COM:PRP I'm not sure if we should host higher resolution versions in the first place. --Stefan2 (talk) 20:22, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
I'm in complete agreement with you there. I don't think we should even host them. Carl Lindberg (talk) 21:28, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
 Oppose Policy as recorded in COM:L is clear: Sometimes, authors wish to release a lower quality or lower resolution version of an image or video under a free license, while applying stricter terms to higher quality versions. It is unclear whether such a distinction is legally enforceable, but Commons's policy is to respect the copyright holder's intentions by hosting only the lower quality version. This has been policy since 2014. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bjh21 (talk • contribs) 22:19, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

上記ファイルはこれまでも2回削除の憂き目に遭っていますが、管理所有者の許諾が得られていないという理由で削除されていた物であったため、3度目のアップロードに際し、事前に上記ファイル画像に写っている説明看板の所有管理者である姥神大神宮の責任者(宮司)の方と話し合いの上で許諾を頂き、姥神大神宮と自分の間で署名捺印を行った許諾書類を3通作成しまして、1通は姥神大神宮側が所有し、残る2通は自分が所有して、そのうちの1通をPDF化した上でWikipedia及びWikipediaコモンズにPDFをメールに添付して許諾メールを送信しました。

ところが、そういう正式な手続きを踏んで許諾を得たにもかかわらず、今回該当画像が消去されると言った暴挙が行われました。また、前述の許諾書類はFile:折居社・由来の説明看板.jpgの他に「File:現在の折居社・由来の説明看板.jpg」File:現在の折居社・由来の説明看板.jpgの画像についても合わせて作成したものですが、そちらの画像については現在のところ削除されていません。

同じ条件で行った許諾であるにもかかわらず、一方は削除されないのに、もう一方は削除されてしまったという状況は不公平極まりない物であり、かつ、きちんとした許諾を頂いた物なのに削除されてしまったという暴挙は、どう考えても納得出来る物ではありません。もちろん、「File:現在の折居社・由来の説明看板.jpg」まで削除されてしまうと言う状況は断じてあってはならない物と考えています。

以上の点をふまえ、File:折居社・由来の説明看板.jpgに関しては速やかに削除撤回を行うべきと考えておりますので、即刻実行して頂きたいと思います。

なお、許諾書類のPDFの掲載が必要であれば、プライバシーを配慮した上での掲載は行う方向で考えています。

Money of India

Can we now undelete Commons:Deletion requests/Money of India2 and Commons:Deletion requests/Money of India. If {{GODL-India}} applies to all works made by the Indian government, it also should apply to banknotes, isn't? The Indian Penal Code 489E prohibits "making or using documents resembling currency-notes or bank-notes". I would interpret that as "printed documents". What do you think? Regards, Yann (talk) 16:00, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

The prohibition of counterfeiting seems a Non-copyright restriction to me. On the other hand, the exemptions mentioned in the GODL template may play a role here: "The license does not cover the following kinds of data: a. personal information; b. data that is non-shareable and/or sensitive; c. names, crests, logos and other official symbols of the data provider(s); d. data subject to other intellectual property rights, including patents, trade-marks and official marks; e. military insignia; f. identity documents; and g. any data that should not have been publicly disclosed for the grounds provided under section 8 of the Right to Information Act, 2005." - Jcb (talk) 22:23, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
I agree that this is problematic. The portrait of Gandhi that is shown on all recent banknotes may be out of copyright, but the lion crest and other logos don't seem to be covered by the GODL. De728631 (talk) 12:07, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
Do you mean Category:Lion Capital of Ashoka? There is no copyright issue with that. The only copyright issue would be the modern rendering of the banknote design, but that's obviously either made by Indian government employees, or a work of hire. Regards, Yann (talk) 14:10, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

✓ Done: Money is created by gouvernment employees, so {{GODL-India}} applies. As mentioned by Jcb, prohibition of counterfeiting is a Non-copyright restriction.

I undeleted the file to review it and was happy to delete it again for other reasons. The video is of a music and song performance (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoM6JmhOLak ) the sound has been removed (my bad for not originally noticing this), so it is less of a clearcut case of a violation of a performer's right then it would be otherwise.

performer's copyright? — regards, Revi 14:20, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
I'm no lawyer reading actual legal stuff online makes my head hurt, but see en:Related_rights#Performers
  • If the uploaded copy is without sound, then there is no violation of any music copyright. Was the performance created by these people, or are they copying someone else's performance? There is also the question of the changed copyright tag: maybe the uploader realised that he wasn't allowed to license the performance or the music or some other part of it (because someone else holds the copyright to it) and therefore corrected the copyright tag. --Stefan2 (talk) 16:42, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
    @Stefan2: In changing the license, Dispatch now makes the claim that everything in the video, from song to dance, is its own work and is not infringing on any other rights—this is specified when uploading a video onto YouTube—which is definitely not the case. Ultimately, it does not make a difference whether the Standard YouTube License or the Creative Commons License is utilized, at least in regards to the recorded content specifically, so asserting that Dispatch "corrected the copyright tag" is not an accurate claim; the claim is "this is entirely my work", and the claim will be wrong regardless of the license it chooses. xplicit 01:44, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
    Please disregard my previous comment - it is difficult for me to decipher Korean text, so I misunderstood. The file talk page links to this, so I assume that this was the film uploaded. The video was created by Dispatch, a news website. The people perform a song called Kamgak by Korean music group UNB. Dispatch can license the contributions by Kim Su-in, the journalist credited for recording and editing the video at 3 minutes and 40 seconds into the video.
It is fine to extract screenshots from a film as the screenshot does not contain any parts of the song, and performances aren't protected in the form of single photographs. For example, File:180303 UNB 03.png has been extracted from a different Dispatch video which also contains unlicensed music, but since it's just a screenshot, the file should be fine. The problem with this file is that it is a video. Performances are protected as sound and video recordings, and I'd imagine that you infringe the performer right even if you only use the video track but not the sound track. --Stefan2 (talk) 13:07, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

"en:Related_rights#Performers", According to this South Korean copyright law page (Article 64)(in english), it is defined in a separate manner to "copyright", so it seems to be Non-copyright restriction as Commons defines (Article 65: 이 장 각 조의 규정은 저작권에 영향을 미치는 것으로 해석되어서는 아니 된다. The provisions of each Article in this Chapter shall not be construed as affecting copyright. ), though it is mentioned in "coryright law" (South Korean copyright law also define "database rights (Article 91-98)" which is considered a non-copyright restriction on Commons). The rights relevant to the freedom requirements of Commons ("author's economic right") only refers to something that is defined Article 16-22. (Author’s Moral Right (article 11-15) is considered a non-copyright restriction on Commons) According to the COM:NCR page, "non-copyright related restrictions are not considered relevant to the freedom requirements of Commons or by Wikimedia, and the licensing policies are accordingly limited to regulating copyright related obligations." Puramyun31 (talk) 16:51, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Commons has copyright tags for sound recordings (see Category:License tags for audio files) which are also neighbouring rights and therefore no different from performers' rights. If you are arguing that we should not honour neighbouring rights, then all copyright tags for sound recordings also need to be deleted, and some copyright tags for photographs need to go. The section about database rights on COM:NCR is obviously an error; the database right work in the same way as normal copyright in that you can't distribute a database without permission from the rights holder. The most common databases on Commons are probably maps - the database right prevents you from distributing other maps derived from the same map data. --Stefan2 (talk) 17:22, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
Sound recordings are irrevent for this discussion, since the flie did not include any sounds. Puramyun31 (talk) 17:28, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
Sound recordings are relevant in the discussion about neighbouring rights. If we are supposed to ignore all neighbouring rights, as you suggested, then we are supposed to ignore all protection of sound recordings and thus delete all. Obviously, we do not ignore copyright of sound recordings (since we have lots of copyright tags for those), so therefore we don't ignore copyright of performances either. --Stefan2 (talk) 17:37, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Is there a precedent set for cases like this? From the looks of this discussion, the main argument for speedy deletion lays its foundation in COM:PCP, but that itself is not a speedy deletion criterion. In regards to the lack of miming videos, is that a result of previous deletion discussions, or is there simply a lack of contributed videos? Regardless, miming and dancing are quite difference scenarios here, so I'm not sure a sweeping generalization can be applied to these two separate art forms. At the very least, a full deletion discussion should take place to help determine what should be done for these type of media, as Puramyun31 has uploaded several videos like this. xplicit 01:44, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: are we waiting for an OTRS action, or can it be closed as not done? Ankry (talk) 20:12, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
@Ankry: We are not in contact with the actual copyright holder via OTRS. I asked permission from the Flickr uploader (who I believe to be the actual copyright holder) via Flickr comment 18 days ago, with no reply. The file is still "All rights reserved". I think it is fair to say this request should be closed as not done due to lack of permission.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 12:08, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

Grain coupons no longer are in use, but any copyright on their design does not disappear as a result. We need a specific rationale as to why these are in the public domain. Generally copyright in China for such things would expire December 31 of the fiftieth year after first publication. For the 1969 image, I would expect this to mean it is public domain on 1 January 2020. Guanaco (talk) 06:50, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
 Oppose there is no valid rationale why this would by PD. The DR has been open for over 6 weeks without any response. Jcb (talk) 12:08, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

@Fanghong: What source did you use to create this map? Surely you did not survey all of China and determine these borders yourself. Guanaco (talk) 06:45, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
