Files in Category:Books in the Library of Congress/unchecked/1950

(Above per original listing.) A large number of these files, if not nearly all of them, are in the public domain, either from a lack of notice or lack of renewal.

to this request as they were deleted at roughly the same time for similar reasons. Judging from this file's name, it looks like a screenshot from this YouTube video sharing the same title, which was released under YouTube's CC licensing, making it compatible with Commons. --Techyan（Talk） 19:27, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Reason: Ordinary light is not copyrighted. The copyrighted lights as per court decision refers to a specific light show in the past (circa 90s). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 10:57, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

If is expected to ping @ViperSnake151, Leoboudv, and Jdforrester: people engaged in the appropriate DR, unless you just ask to reopen it. Ankry (talk) 15:37, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
Hey there. I'm not an expert on exactly which lighting choices are covered by the copyright claim. Can you link to something that documents this, ideally on Commons?
Secondarily, it's a rather poor quality photo, and I don't think it adds to the value of Commons. James F. (talk) 17:48, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
@Jdforrester: there has been recent successful restorations on images of the illuminated Eiffel Tower if it just shows the usual lighting at night: Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2021-02#File:EiffelToweratNight.jpg and Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2021-04#File:2011 Fireworks on Eiffel Tower 01.jpg. As for the quality, unfortunately I cannot see it as I don't have userright to do so (but if it's resolution is more tgan 1000px, then it is still quite useful, IMO). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 18:57, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
 Support I second JWilz, maybe we should write a new section about lights in COM:CSM? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 05:00, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
{{Temporarily undeleted}} for discussion. Ankry (talk) 09:39, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
Examining the image, the resolution is acceptable to me (2,048 × 1,536 pixels), not so blurry, and has metadata (which assures "own work" claim), so the quality is addressed. For utility, I see the visual effect of tree in front of the lit tower. I cannot describe the effect in my own words, but I can see that sort of visual effect. This should perhaps address the issue of quality being questioned in the DR. For the issue on illumination, this image is from 2003, and not from 1989 (as cited at w:Eiffel Tower#Illumination copyright). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 11:21, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

File:MAGAZINE 1A.jpg <That's the name of the jpeg that was sent to me. I have approval from photographer but I don't know what I'm doing

Hello, please undelete this photo please. I would like to start the process for Wikimedia OTRS release generator to prove that I found a photographer who would donate a picture of Moka Blast for this purpose of adding his to wikipedia.

I am new to wikipedia, I'm trying to understand the process of having information approved. I respect it all. This started as a extra credit college assignment, but I like the idea of contributing...maybe more on other artists I like. Anyways, I really love this one artist Moka Blast, he's popular just not mainstream. The photographer was not hard to find, I found his website on Moka's studio website. I'm hoping I don't have to bother him with a bunch of emails, but what do I need to ask of the photographer? Is there a general form I can ask him to sign with his info?

File:Berlin Connection 1998 Cover Art.png

The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover 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 Berlin Connection discussing the work, to show a primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. The cover art copyright belongs to me (I am Eku Wand) and my publishing label eku interactive. The article about the video game is lacking some correct information (even my name is wrong and some of the given information herein) as the authors are not German native speakers. You can also see the art work mentioned in the article about my person. I just wanted to upload a proper image to support the authors attempt to improve their article. If any body would request a copyright infringement it would be me, because it is my work! Thank you. --Pixelreiter (talk) 09:10, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

File:Μπενάκης Λίνος 2009-2010 - Αντίγραφο.JPG

Το αρχείο με τίτλο: «‪Αρχείο:Μπενάκης Λίνος 2009-2010 - Αντίγραφο.JPG‬», διεγράφη παρανόμως από τον χρήστη MARKELLOS‬, ενώ αναγράφεται ρητά ότι παραχωρήθηκε υπεύθυνα από τον ίδιο τον εικονιζόμενο για ελεύθερη χρήση στη Wikipedia και στο Internet. Πάμπολλες άλλες φωτογραφίες του εικονιζόμενου προσώπου υπάρχουν ελεύθερες στο Ίντερνετ. Ωστόσο, προτιμήθηκε η εν λόγω φωτογραφία, που τραβήχτηκε στο Μέγαρο Μουσικής Αθηνών, της οποίας τα δικαιώματά της ανήκουν στον εικονιζόμενο. Ο τελευταίος λοιπόν έχοντας τα δικαιώματα, τα παραχώρησε στον μαθητή του καθηγητή Κατελή Βίγκλα (www.katelisviglas.com), ο οποίος με το όνομα χρήστη Irigozin, τρέφοντας απεριόριστο σεβασμό και αποδίδοντας μεγάλη τιμή στο πρόσωπο του επόπτη της διατριβής του και συνεργάτη του επί εικοσιπενταετία, καθηγητή Λίνου Μπενάκη, δημιούργησε ένα λήμμα για τον τελευταίο. Επομένως, αφού τα δικαιώματα παραχωρήθηκαν στον Irigozin, ο τελευταίος ανέβασε τη φωτογραφία στη Wikipedia και για ελεύθερη χρήση στο διαδίκτυο. Πουθενά δεν αναγράφεται ότι τα δικαιώματα της φωτογραφίας δεν ανήκουν στον Irigozin και στον εικονιζόμενο. Είναι ηλίου φαεινότερον λοιπόν ότι ο κάτοχος τους τα έχει απελευθερώσει με ελεύθερη άδεια συμβατή με το εγχείρημα της Wikipedia. Απαιτείται λοιπόν να μη διαγραφεί αυτή η φωτογραφία, αλλά να τοποθετηθεί εκ νέου στη θέση της. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irigozin (talk • contribs) 15:50, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Reason: The author of these photos (Dmitriy Shevchenko) agreed to post these photos on this resource under the license of CC-BY 3.0. The author notified the administration of this resource about this using a letter sent from the box ciaec.off@gmail.com, which is indicated on the personal site of the same author https://ciaec.ru/contacts/

For some unknown reason, the OTRS member (Otto O.) did not believe that he received a letter from the author of the said photographs: "these picture has been used on other websites before being uploaded on Wikimedia Commons."

This statement is not true, because these photographs were first published in the original (with EXIF data) on the author's personal website on Mar 04, 2021. Author's article: https://ciaec.ru/our-blog/otel-govorite/

In this article, the author describes in detail how and when these photographs were taken. Here is an example of photos that have not been published anywhere before:

https://ciaec.ru/upload/iblock/033/033b2f13c5f8d163f3b6ede058c6fceb.JPG

Let me remind you once again that all of these photographs are posted on the author's website in the original (contain EXIF data). Previously, these original files have not been published anywhere. --Anoneska (talk) 07:09, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

@Anoneska: There is no such concept as Wikimedia Commons administration. This site is community managed. Also, this page is not the right venue for OTRS complaints. If the photos were published initially without evidence of free license, a written free license permission needs to be verified and accepted by an OTRS volunteer. If you have doubts or questions about OTRS processing, you can ask at COM:ON. Note, that if some doubts raised in OTRS cannot be resolved, there is no way to host the images in Commons.

File:Gino Gasperini Alta Uniforme.jpg

I am the owner of the original picture, witch represents my grandfather Gino Gasperini in full dress uniform. The picture was taken at the beginning of the twentieth century,and it is not covered from any copyright. I want to share it on Commons. Please, undelete. Thanks, Uberto Gasperini Zacco--Gasperini Zacco U (talk) 18:02, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

  • @Gasperini Zacco U: Copyright belongs to the photographer (and the photographer heirs after photographer's death), not to the subject, subject heirs or photo print owners unless a contract with the photographer states otherwise (does it?). The photo seems to be an artistic photograph, and so copyrighted in Italy 70 years since the photographer's death, or, if published anonymously, 70 years since the initial publication. Without appropriate evidence, your claim that it is not covered from any copyright is unfounded. We need to know what is evidence of it? Who is the photographer and when they died? When and where the photo was initially published (exact date or its upper estimation - not later than...) and finally, when the photo was created (exact date or its upper estimation - not later than...). In some cases, even mid-XIX century photos may be still copyrighted. Your initial claim that you made the original photo personally last month is not helpful here (who and when created the print or digitized it is irrelevant as these are purely technical operations, not granting any authorship). Ankry (talk) 10:48, 5 May 2021 (UTC).
  • @Ankry: thank you very much for your explanations. So, I can confirm that the picture was created in 1930 (the same year my grandfather was appointed President of the Court of Auditors). I am not in a position to say who was the author of the photograph, whose name is unknown to me. I can add that the photo has never been published before, but it was displayed in a picture in our private family home. Therefore, I believe that after more than 90 years this photo is no longer protected by any copyright and, for this reason, I think that it can be freely published. So, if I’m right, please undelete. Thanks, Uberto Gasperini Zacco.--Gasperini Zacco U (talk) 14:13, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
  • @Gasperini Zacco U: If the image was not published and the author (photographer) is not known then it is safe to assume that the work continues to be copyrighted under Italian law. And, as the work was neither published nor in the public domain in Italy on 1 January 1996, U.S. law applies. If author is unknown and was unpublished before 2003, U.S. copyright protections apply until the earlier of 95 years after first publication or 120 years after creation. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 14:43, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Files uploaded by Arshakyan Mariana

Hello

My name is Mariana Arshakyan. I am a granddaughter of Edik Petrosyan, whose Wikipedia page has been created by me. On his page, I have included reliable information retrieved from my Grandpa's archive (biography). Along with the information that I have written on Edik Petrosyan wiki page, I have also included several photos, that show and prove a number of events from my Grandpa's life. These photos are taken from my Grandpa's biographical documents and belong to my family. Please accept this request to recover all the photos that I have uploaded and added to my Grandpa's page.

These are the photos that have been deleted:

  •  Oppose Request does not respond to concerns raised at Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Arshakyan Mariana.

    @Arshakyan Mariana: Ownership or possession of a photo, proprietorship of the equipment used to take the photo, or being the subject of the photo does not equate holding the copyright. The copyright holder is the photographer (i.e. the person who took the photo), rather that the subject (the person who appears in the photo) or the person possessing the photo, unless transferred by operation of law (e.g. inheritance, etc.) or by contract (written and signed by the copyright holder, and explicitly transfers the copyright). Please note that in some jurisdictions, the law may not permit transfers or assignment of rights.

    Many of these images seem to be taken in 1986 (per the file names), which would still be protected by copyright law in the former Soviet Republics -- copyright protections in these countries last for the lifetime of the author (the photographer) plus 70 years after their death, and for works published anonymously, for a period of 70 years after first publication. Additionally, assuming that either Russia or Armenia is the source country, as these works would have been under copyright on 1 January 1996 in Russia and on 10 October 2020 in Armenia, per policy, U.S. law would apply and the works would be copyrighted until the earlier of 95 years after first publication or 120 years after creation. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 19:59, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Frances Farrand Dodge: Trees by the river (oil painting)

We own this painting which is currently part of our collection. If we are allowed to enjoy it every day and wish to share such joy with others, does copyright get into it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Artemisia5! (talk • contribs) 07:34, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

  • Signing your posts is required on talk pages and it is a Commons policy 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). Thank you.
  • Most likely about File:FFD Trees by the river.jpg
  • Painting ownership does not grant anybody to claim painting authorship; we have no evidence that Artemisia5! is Frances Farrand Dodge as claimed at upload
  • Painting ownership is in most cases unrelated to copyright ownership. If copyright has been transferred by the painter to the painting owner in a contract, we need an evidence of this.
  • The painting may be {{PD-US-no notice}} if there is no copyright notice on the painting (both sides); but we need reliable information when and where the painting was initially published (eg. a gallery or auction catalogue or an exhibition where visitors were allowed to make photos). We sometimes consider that publishing date = creation date (which is also not provided - declared 2021 in the description) if there is no evidence that the painting was hidden from the public since creation (eg. in a non-pubic collection) - we have to know more about the painting history in such cases.
  • Note also, that providing false or incorrect information at upload makes other your declarations unreliable - and we need an evidence for them. Ankry (talk) 09:15, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping JWilz12345. I don't think this satellite model is protected by Philippine copyright. From COM:CRT/Philippines#Works not protected: No protection shall extend to any idea, procedure, system, method or operation, concept, principle, discovery or mere data as such, even if they are expressed, explained, illustrated or embodied in a work.

File:Chit Phumisak-Portrait.jpg

The person who colorized the portrait of Chit Phumisak Colorized version was Saran Kerdsuwan.

This is a graph I have made myself and the underlying datasets are from, well known, scientific papers. I went through the wizard, so I am surprised that it isn't marked 'own'.Maneesh (talk) 15:33, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

@Maneesh: {{Own}} declaration works here works only for original, unpublished works, when the author is identified as the Wikimedia user who uploads the image.

@Ankry: To be clear: I have created this image using R/ggplot etc. in the typical way graphs are created using freely available, published datasets (attributed correctly in the description). This specific image has not been published anywhere (after uploading this image I have published my source code to github), though it wouldn't be at all surprising if you could find an image like it in a colorimetry textbook, as the underlying datasets are canonical colorimetry datasets.

File:Diversity of Bird Vertebrae.png

I would like to request an undeletion of File:Diversity of Bird Vertebrae.png for the following reasons:

All images used in the remix have been uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons already and are listed below:

All images above are marked with a CC BY 2.0 license

The original publication entitled Die vergleichende Osteologie is in the public domain for all countries including its origin country where copyright terms last the lifetime of the author plus 70 years. It is also in the public domain in the US because it was published before 1926. The original text was published between 1821 and 1828.

The remixed image included attribution to the original author and licensing information. I did find that the most accurate license is CC BY 2.0 instead of the license listed (CC PDM 1.0) after further research.

The description notes that the image is a remixed/modified version of the original images. If this is not clear, the description can be modified to clarify this.

--Curtisag (talk) 20:07, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

@Curtisag: PDM is not a license. It is information meaning I do not know exactly what the copyright status is, but I suspect the work is not copyrighted. As per Wikimedia Commons policy we need to know exactly why an image is not copyrighted, such information is not enough. If copyright of the original image expired, then granting a CC-BY (or CC-BY-SA) license for them is incorrect and may be considered plagiarism. You can fix this if you are able to provide correct copyright information and evidence for this. And even if the original images are not copyrighted, a collage of them can be (especially, it it does not originate from the original work). And as a collage is a COM:DW of original work, we need to verify the copyright status. If the collage itself originated from a PD-old work, then it is PD-old, not CC-licensed. If it is a DW of PD-old works, you need to list the works used, proving that they are PD-old. Refering to PDM means that you did not verify copyright status, and we cannot host such image in Wikimedia Commons. If the collage is made by you, you can choose a license (compatible with the original image licensing / copyright status) but if the collage was made by somebody else, we need a free license (or license evidence) from them. I am undeleting the image, but, please, fix this. Ankry (talk) 07:22, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
@Fæ: As you added the CC-BY 2.0 license info, could you please explain who is (IYO) the copyright holder and who should be attributed? Eduard d'Alton & Christian Heinrich Pander are unlikely to grant the license and if so, as their copyright has expired the license could be likely considered void. Ankry (talk) 07:21, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
It's fine to upgrade the license to a 'free-er' PD license. However back in 2015 example oldid was uploaded with both the original BHL CC-BY release on Flickr and the deduced license of PD-old-70. Both licenses are justifiable, and having multiple licenses for reusers to choose from is fine. We can both be advised by BHL curators and use our own judgment based on verifiable facts about the object. Keep in mind that the rationale about scans of out of copyright works do not create new creative rights is uncertain in many countries, and as there is nothing intrinsic in the legislation to stop it from happening, at some point in the future may change in the USA.
I'd rather keep multiple licenses, but others seem to feel strongly about it, and it's not worth investing a lot of time debating. --Fæ (talk) 09:26, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

I presume that these images are similar to those here: https://www.game-and-watch.net/variations-regionales/ji21/wide-screen/turtle-bridge/
I think some of the packaging shots might be acceptable (the originals are too simple to attract protection), but screenshots would fall under COM:DERIVATIVE as derivative works, also Commons:Screenshots. This is complicated somewhat by the nature of the LCD screen on the Game & Watch. Also such images might easily be justified in per-game articles on Wikipedia, under fair-use, but that doesn't permit them for Commons. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:13, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
  • @Herveroller: Copyright for corporate works expires in US 95 years after initial publication. And until this term expires, we need a free license permission from the copyright holders in order to host the images. If they are US works, then there is slight chance that a game is {{PD-US-1978-89}} due to lack of copyright notice in the game itself and in its documentation. But this rule cannot be applied to non-US products. Ankry (talk) 05:55, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Undeletion of File:Example.jpg]]Adolf_Würth_(links)_mit_seinem_Sohn_Reinhold_Würth_beim_Waldpaziergang..jpg

The image was deleted due to a lack of permission from the photographer. Unfortunately, the photographer is unknown. The photo comes from the company archives of the Würth Group and has been in the family for a long time. However, there is no official document certifying our rights to the picture, as this is a private photograph. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Corporate Communications Würth-Group (talk • contribs) 15:09, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

  • Signing your posts is required on talk pages and it is a Commons policy 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). Thank you.
  • If author is unknown than claiming that you are the author and copyright holder and attempting to grant a license basing on this is blatant copyright violation. In order to undelete the image you need to provide evidence that either the actual copyright holder (presumably the photographer) has granted a free license or than copyright has expired in both US and the country of origin.

Has any of this policies been broken in this case? If the uploader is violating law, when publishing this document, it is their responsibility and they may be warned about this (@Adsum1369: feel warned). I think, the same might apply to publishing birth dates of living people in Wikipedia (even if they are available elsewhere) or publishing signature images of living people.

Peter Marggraf (Bildhauer, 1947)

Guten Tag, auf der Seite "Peter Marggraf (Bildhauer, 1947)" wurden viele, aussagekräftige Fotos gelöscht. Ich bin selbst der Künstler und habe wohl beim Hochladen der Bilder meiner eigenen Werke etwas falsch gemacht. Ich bitte Sie, die Löschung rückgängig zu machen und meinen Fehler zu korrigieren. Danke und herzliche Grüße. Peter Marggraf — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peter Marggraf (talk • contribs) 14:46, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Murphy would only own copyright if it had been transferred by a formal written conveyance.

Being in charge of both personal and official matters, he has called himself as Duterte's all around 'utility man'." There's no specific mention at enwiki on which of his works are part of his official duties and which are not. Anyway, ping @Pandakekok9 and Howhontanozaz: over this matter.

File:Fleurs, peinture de Louise Desbordes, Musées d'Angers.tif

Hi,

This is a painting by Louise Desbordes, a French painter who died in 1926. I'm not sure which license template was used, but it should be in the public domain ({{PD-Art|PD-old|deathyear=1926|country=fr}}). The source is Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Angers, according to Frank Blason, the original uploader.

Orlodrim (talk) 11:59, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

 Info The only tag that was used was (C) Musées d'Angers, D. Riou. Ankry (talk) 14:27, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
I don't think this information was correct. Since the painter died more than 70 years ago, nobody owns the copyright for it. Orlodrim (talk) 16:09, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
Well, maybe. But a tag mentioning this was missing. In order to undelete we need a proper copyright tag or tags describing copyright status in both: country of origin and US. Ankry (talk) 19:32, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
@Orlodrim: {{Temporarily undeleted}} Please fix the information template and copyright status if the image is indeed PD. Ankry (talk) 19:39, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
Thanks, please give me some time so that I can confirm the exact year with the uploader (since apparently it matters whether it's exactly 1926 or before). Orlodrim (talk) 09:03, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
According to Frank Blason, the painting was probably exposed for the first time before 1926, but he does not have the confirmation. In the unlikely case where it would never have been exposed before, it would be in the public domain in the US only in 2022. I'm not sure what should be done on Commons. In doubt, I copied the picture to fr:Fichier:Fleurs, peinture de Louise Desbordes, Musées d'Angers.tif. Orlodrim (talk) 15:22, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
@Orlodrim: I think, if the author died in 1926, the painting was PD in France in 1996 (50pma + 8⅓ years wartime extensions), so it is PD-1996. Am I right? Ankry (talk) 15:43, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
@Ankry: You're right, thanks. I didn't know that the copyright term was not yet 70 years in France in 1996. Orlodrim (talk) 16:22, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Files under Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Madame Tussauds Hong Kong

All files under Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Madame Tussauds Hong Kong:

According to COM:CRT/Hong Kong#Freedom of panorama, FOP applies to premises that are open to the public. Per Copyright Ordinance (Chapter 528) (consolidated version of May 27, 2016), "it is not a copyright infringement to make graphic representations, take photographs, or broadcast the images of buildings, sculptures, models for buildings and works of artistic craftsmanship, if the object is permanently situated in a public place or in premises open to the public." The CRT page adds, "Because Hong Kong was a territory of the United Kingdom until 1997, Hong Kong law is modeled on UK law, and in the absence of any specific case law to the contrary it is reasonable to assume that the rules will be similar." Various images of British wax figures inside the London branch of Madame Tussauds have been restored because of their FOP provision. Thus it is reasonable to say that Hong Kong FOP applies also to indoors, as a territory that follows British heritage of copyright law. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 10:13, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

@Ymblanter: as deleting admin. Do you agree or not? Regards, Yann (talk) 11:56, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
If I read the above literally, it says that every sculpture in any museum in the UK (and Hong Kong, for that matter) is free. I doubt that this is the correct interpretation of the law. I do not see so many sculptures of Antoine Pevsner or Alberto Giacometti for example though there are plenty of those in British museums. I believe the question should go at least to the relevant village pump.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:06, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
The sculptures are not free, but pictures of them might be. That's an important difference. And that's the consequence of FoP rules where they exist. The issue here is "is Madame Tussauds Hong Kong a premises open to the public"? Regards, Yann (talk) 12:10, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: The reason given was that there's "no indication of license free" on the source site, which isn't true, as there is, multiple times, on the page. This deletion seems to assume bad faith regarding the image source, and I especially do not like how one of the reasons for deletion was "it was uploaded by cappsack". I'm not sure what this was supposed to be suggestion, but the wording sounds too personalised. (P.S. I notice this was removed from the deletion description at some point. I distinctly recall it saying "Copyright violation, no indication of a free license on the source site (F1), and it was uploaded by Cappack" when I initially checked) Cappack (talk) 19:38, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

 Info Nintendo video game character. "© 2005 Nintendo/CING" at nintendo.co.jp. Thuresson (talk) 19:55, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
I appreciate the above source, thank you. I'm not completely sure how copyrights work, so I'm not sure if Cing, the developers of Another Code, going bankrupt back in 2010 affects anything or not (the given source here is old, and the coprights are put down as being shared between Cing and Nintendo there). That said, to be honest, my primary concern was what seemed like the personalised attack at me in the deletion description. I appreciate that I might be interpreting it wrong, and that it has since been removed, but I do not understand what "it was uploaded by cappsack" was supposed to be implying. Can someone give me an explanation on this? --Cappack (talk) 20:03, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
You DID say "and it was uploaded by cappsack", and you know it, unless I somehow hallucinated this. I should've screenshotted it when I had the chance, but I didn't know you'd remove this as soon as I called it up. This part of it mysteriously vanished not long after I posted my deletion request. I didn't think that was even possible, but apparently it is. Unless this was caused by some bizarre glitch, or my eyes were playing tricks on me, I know what I saw, and, frankly, I would've preferred a rational explanation other than you making up that it never happened. I unfortunately cannot prove it, though, unless there is some way to check the history of the deletion description. I appreciate the explanation on the copyright and don't dispute this aspect, but I'd appreciate it more if you gave a legitimate explanation for your personal attack on me, not you side-stepping something you know you did, and that you know I would've seen. --Cappack (talk) 20:38, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

I appeal for the undeletion of the above mentioned file. The said file was shot and created by me for the Wiki Loves Africa 2021 contest titled "health and wellness". I'm a Nigerian photographer who is passionate about photography and stories of Africa, particularly my country, Nigeria. This propelled me to travel down to a rural Community where the ancient method of treating malaria in the Igbo tribe of Nigeria, represented in the media, is still in practice. This was where I shot the video and this means I'm the sole owner and creator of both the work depicted and the media.

Christian Zecha, who photographed File:Chin & Chilla, 1986.jpg, sent the permission to use it on 2. March 2021 to permissions-en@wikimedia.org ("Betreff: [Ticket#2021030210012385] Confirmation of receipt (Re: Chin_&_Chilla)).

He didn’t write the full title of the file in the subject line, maybe that’s why the file has not been found and now has been deleted.

Would you please confirm that the permission is given and allow to recover the file?

File:OG (33812699355).jpg - Appears to be deleted in error

Hi. File:OG (33812699355).jpg appears to have been deleted in error. Deletion log says '(Copyright violation, see Commons:Licensing)' but the very page that the log links states that the CC-BY-SA 2.0 images are ok to upload. Link to the image on Flickr. Could you please restore the image? If the metadata was not correctly maintained for the file, I intend to update it to bring it into compliance.
@Ellin Beltz: Pinging deleting admin.
Thank you for reviewing. Melmann (talk) 09:42, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

The Flickr account seems to be a Flickrwashing account - 0 followers and 0 following. I'm not saying it is but that is highly suspicious. I think we would need OTRS this case Gbawden (talk) 12:29, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
I ran approx 10 images randomly selected from this user's account thought multi-service reverse image search (iqdb.org) and I could not find any evidence of these images being available elsewhere in the manner which would indicate that the image was taken from a previous source. Only cases I found was people using the images according to the CC-BY=SA license. I also found an individual with the same name as the Flickr account claiming on LinkedIn (which I won't link due to privacy concerns) to have implemented JavaScript for the benefit of a Dota 2 wiki (indicating that an individual with the same name is a fan of Dota).
But if this account is indeed Flickrwashing, then most pictures from Category:Dota 2 Asia Championships will need to be deleted. Melmann (talk) 16:24, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
There is a chance that the account may be legit but I am suspicious. No followers, photos only of one topic or subject and not a Pro account are generally things that make me suspect flickrwashing Gbawden (talk) 07:57, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
I think, the nominator had doubts concerning the players' avatars visible on the photo. It was nominated for deletion as COM:DW. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ankry (talk • contribs) 9:17, 18 May 2021‎ (UTC)
They're not individual player's avatars, but avatars representing heroes players have chosen to play for that particular match. If this is grounds for deletion, than how is the existence of files in Category:FIFA World Cup balls or Category:Formula One cars justified? Melmann (talk) 20:06, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
I don't see how the abovementioned categories are related: I cannot find these avatars anywhere there. And I see no reason why they or their photos might be free: they do not seem to originate from free software, FoP is likely not applicable here, they are not de minimis nor they seem to be below ToO, they are not part of a utilitarian object... am I missing something? Ankry (talk) 16:37, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
Images in the linked categories depict sports subjects which contain copyrighted logos and designs, but principle of the COM:DM or COM:FoP apply (presumably, otherwise their existance on Commons cannot be justified). The image I am asking to restore is of exact same nature. It depicts a sports team in action, and it does contain copyrighted designs within it (the hero portraits) but it's primary subject is not the copyrighted design, but the team of players in action, where the copyrighted design is incidental to the picture. In other words, the picture would be of the exact same utility if those copyrighted designs were not there, and no additional utility is attained by the copyrighted design being there.
So, if Wikimedia was to apply it's interpretation of copyright law uniformly, either the File:OG (33812699355).jpg should be restored or the two categories I linked (and many many more) should be considered for deletion. Melmann (talk) 20:00, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - I don't see that the Flickr account is a Flickrwashing account, but this is clearly a COM:DW of the video game character portraits, and they are not de minimis as per Ankry above. The requestor's responses have offered no support for restoration, but have instead merely been w:WP:OTHERSTUFF and a bizarre failure to recognise the concept of useful articles. Эlcobbola talk 20:21, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
I have used other similar categories of pictures to compare uneven enforcement/interpretation of the US copyright laws on Commons. Could you clarify how a Formula 1 car or a Football ball (again, just examples) fall under useful article if at the same time this image does not (which is not my argument, btw, my position is that none of these mentioned images fall under useful article protection)? You'll notice that I've avoided mentioning, for example, pictures of sports players wearing copyrighted jerseys, because those quite clearly fall under useful article protections. Melmann (talk) 22:46, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Deleting admin here. I see five hero portraits without permission of the one to five artists who created them, clearly COM:DW. The photographer (flickr account holder or other) does not have rights to the portraits depicted. I am not going to do a bunch of what-about-ism on other pictures/categories/projects/universes, but this exact one, which I deleted I think should stay deleted for the foregoing and rather obvious reason.

If it is copyrighted, we need evidence of irrevokable free license from the copyright holder. If it is copyrighted and we do not know who the copyright holder is, we cannot host the image.

If we do not know whether it is copyrighted or not, we cannot host the image until we know that or until it is at least 120 years old. The copyright status needs to be precisely resolved when you ask for undeletion. While this map may be official work by Red Army, I see no reason why it could be considered an official document of state government agency or local government agency of municipal formation.

File:AlfonsoVinci ritratto.JPG

The picture was deleted because, it was said, it was not clear the copyright status. Anyway the picture was shot by my father Alfonso Vinci in 1953, my father died in 1992, and I have inherited his rights, so I have the right to publish it. Probably this was not clear. But I have published another picture of his (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:AlfonsoVinci_makiritari.JPG), present in its wiki page in italian, https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfonso_Vinci and that one was not cancelled. Therefore I kindly ask the undeletion of the file. Ialina Vinci--Ivinci (talk) 10:32, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Neither of the images seem to be a selfie. So if your father is the photographer (the person pressing the camera button), then who is the person on the photo? If the photo was shot by somebody else, then we need to know who they are/were. If the photo authorship is unknown, we likely cannot host it until 2074 (120 years since creation).

The user could describe in detail where and when the photos were taken and what they showed. He also had a good explanation on why the images lacked quality and exif data.

File:President Joe Biden welcomes Republic of Korea President Moon Jae-in to the White House.jpg

Two images of the interior of Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche where I believe de minimis was ignored

First of all: You don't bring up any new arguments. Exactly this text is already in the deletion request and has already been taken into account there.
To the first one: Can a room be copyrighted in Germany? - Yes, of course. "Werke der bildenden Künste einschließlich der Werke der Baukunst und der angewandten Kunst und Entwürfe solcher Werke" (UrhG §2 (1) 4).
To the second one: Yes, an organ is a musical instrument. But the organ case is a very special part, mostly elaborately designed. So it's the same thing as above ("der angewandten Kunst"). You ask for any precedent at all for saying that a photograph of a musical instrument needs permission. I say it is stated in German law, UrhG §2. So maybe you should search for any precedent at all for saying that a photograph of an organ case needs no permission. --Stepro (talk) 16:07, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
I would like to point out that in Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Pipe organ of Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche, new building organs are considered non-copyrighted utilitarian objects. And whether a particular organ is copyrightable or not is disputable. And according to Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Germany non-technical artistic aspects of the subject should be pointed out to consider it copyrightable. Acoustic or internal architecture related should not be considered artistic and copyrightable, IMO. Pinging @Ruthven, Christian Ferrer, and Pi.1415926535: few admins who were taking decisions in similar DRs. Ankry (talk) 07:51, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
As far as I've understood these deletion requests, and considering German FOP law, the copyrighted work are the stained glass windows of Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche. A stained glass is made by an artist, the glassblower, and can be an artwork and hence copyrightable. Here we can discuss if these particular stained glass windows are above of below ToO for Germany. My opinion is that each single window is not, but their composition is. Thus, the two files mentioned here represent the stained glass windows as a whole, while the other ones we're discussing have as main focus the pipe organ, an utilitarian object like a car, and not some specific artistic detail of the organ (like a marquetry). Of course also in the other files representing the organ there were some part of the windows, but they were 1) out of focus 2) de minimis. --Ruthven (msg) 16:11, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
  • As far I understand it, FoP in Germany is not for indoor, therefore File:Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche interior pano 01.jpg is likely under copyright protection, because the main subject is well the indoor architecture. For the second image File:Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche organ 01.jpg, there are several things (the walls and glasses, the platform, the roof and the organ). The walls, glasses, and roof are copyrightable things, the platform could be simple enough but as part of an architectural ensemble it is likely also copyrightable. The organ itself is likely not protected by copyright. The organ is obviously the main subject but the remaining question being: are the copyrightable things De Minimis? Stricto sensu likely not, because a thing is de minimis when you don't notice that it have been removed from a photo if either you remove it. But well, I'm quite neutral, and I don't know if Germany copyright law has exception for something incidental in a photo.Christian Ferrer (talk) 10:53, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
  •  Support the second. The organ is a non-copyrightable utilitarian object, and it is not possible to show the organ without also showing the windows (it is already cropped pretty tightly on all sides). -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:53, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
    Thats not correct. Objects of utility are certainly eligible for protection under German copyright law, see Geburtstagszug-Urteil of the German Federal Court of Justice (Bundesgerichtshof) from 2013. Since then, the same protection threshold (§ 2 para. 2 UrhG) has applied to applied art as to so-called "pure art" in German copyright law. --DCB (talk) 19:12, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
    An organ is a utilitarian object which is not copyrightable under US law. A toy train is a non-utilitarian object which is copyrightable under US law. If German law considers a toy train to be utilitarian but copyrightable, then you're just calling something a different name but the copyright status is fundamentally unchanged. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:43, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
    Note also that even if the organ is impressive, that is in fact the case of almost all organs by nature, and IMO there is nothing "very" artistic in its design apart a quite basic obligatory geometric arrangement of the organ pipes. But to the argument "it is not possible to show the organ without also showing the windows", that is not entirely true, just take the photo with a bigger zoom. Christian Ferrer (talk) 20:09, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
    @Christian Ferrer: Do you suggest that current (cropped) version would be OK? @Jmabel: Are you satisfied with it? Ankry (talk) 17:02, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
    Yes it's fine IMO. Christian Ferrer (talk) 17:34, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
    @Ankry: . No. This is not OK. Stepro cited the german law. What you have done is definetly against german law. Common sense of Wikimedia Commons ist, to respect local laws. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 18:26, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
    @Marcus Cyron: German law does not state that any applied art and design of such works is copyrighted. Per COM:Germany: In assessing whether an article with a utilitarian purpose is protected by copyright, one must take into account, however, that the aesthetic effect of the article can only provide a basis for copyright protection to the extent that it is not dictated by the article's utilitarian purpose, but instead is based on an artistic effort. Frankly, I cannot see an artistic effort here that is unrelated to utilitarian purpose of the organ. If you do, please elaborate. Ankry (talk) 18:40, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

File:Fishing at Cocodrie LA Christian.jpg

File:Fishing at Cocodrie LA Christian.jpg Tagged by @A1Cafel: for speedy deletion as "selfie" (which it wasn't). Photo of someone at fishing camp at Cocodrie, Louisiana - perhaps a pedestrian seeming subject, but the community of Cocodrie is endangered on the front lines of coastal erosion, and we don't have many photos of it, which is why I coppied this photo from Flickr. I request undeletion. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 14:28, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

I disagree. The main subject of the photo is an unknown person. If you wish, you can crop him out and reupload if you find the remaining part of the photo useful. Ankry (talk) 23:06, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
The person is at the center of the photo, taking up less than a third of the image, but as he's at the center, rather difficult to crop. The row of boat houses are clearly seen, giving a sense of place. That a non-notable person is seen in a photo of a place IMO in no way detracts from the photo as an illustration of time and place; we have hundreds of very illustrative photos which include such persons (for example many of the FSA/WPA photos). And again, I fail to see how this required speedy deletion without discussion, and how the tag "selfie" was a valid reason for doing so. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 18:13, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
Well, self-promotion is a reason to speedy. But if you request for a DR discussion then I do not oppose. I just think that such images should not be hosted in Commons unless used in another Wikimedia service page (eg. Wikipedia/Wikivoyage). Ankry (talk) 21:41, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Brown, Archives Register, where he downright states that the PD thing is true. https://imgur.com/a/Xrjq4XQ Reboot01 (talk) 04:16, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

  •  Oppose The law cited does not place "public records" into the public domain, and does not make an explicit statement that works of the North Carolina government is not protected by copyright. Such works may be gratis but not libre. Furthermore, as previously stated by Jameslwoodward, the North Carolina State Government's policy is clear: "Unless otherwise noted on an individual document, the state of North Carolina grants permission to copy and distribute non-image files, documents, and information for non-commercial use, provided they are copied and distributed without alteration." -- a policy that is incompatible with Commons licensing policy. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 22:52, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

File:India – Tropical Cyclone TAUKTAE – DG ECHO Daily Map, 20-05-2021.pdf

According to information I have been given, the problem appears to be the source that this image was found. I originally found it here: https://reliefweb.int/map/india/india-tropical-cyclone-tauktae-dg-echo-daily-map-20052021
I have found a new source that could be used to fix this problem, if it does of course. Here it is: https://erccportal.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ercmaps/ECDM_20210520_TC_TAUKTAE.pdf
I am still pretty new to uploading images so this may not be a plausible fix, but I hope it is. StopBoi (talk) 18:54, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
@StopBoi: And where did you find CC-BY-SA 4.0 license information at this source page? False license claiming is copyright violation. Ankry (talk) 19:15, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
This is where I found the information, however, it is not in the source I included at first here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/legal-notice_en
"Unless otherwise indicated (e.g. in individual copyright notices), content owned by the EU on this website is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licence. This means that reuse is allowed, provided appropriate credit is given and changes are indicated."
On the bottom of (https://ec.europa.eu/echo/index_en), and other links this site hosts, this is at the bottom: "© Copyright notice: The texts of this website may be reused with attribution to European Union/ECHO. Photos credited to European Union/ECHO can also be reused provided that they are duly credited. No derivatives allowed without prior permission. Photos credited to partners or other may not be reused." I did not notice this at first.
Hmm. Unless we are able to add 2 sources this may be a problem. StopBoi (talk) 20:28, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
  • Unless otherwise indicated (e.g. in individual copyright notices) But the map is marked © European Union, 2021 Map produced by the JRC. So unless you find evidence that the JRC map is also under CC-BY-SA 4.0 license, the license may apply only to info on the map (IMO it is just "otherwise indicated").
  • Link to the license should be added in the Permission field of the {{Information}} template. Ankry (talk) 21:05, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
I can't find a specific link to the licensing that JRC uses, unfortunately. I have found these: https://data.jrc.ec.europa.eu/licence/com_reuse and https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32011D0833
The second one, in particular, says this about the JRC: "In addition, it is appropriate to include in the documents available for reuse the research information produced by the Joint Research Centre". The JRC also seems to be a part/branch of the European Commission, so that would make me think that they share these licenses. The second link is about a decision that was made about the reuse of Commission documents; so that would make me think JRC shares the same or similar rules. However, I am admittedly not good at this so I could be very wrong. StopBoi (talk) 00:44, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
  • {{PD-European-Commission}} seems to apply. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 22:10, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
    I have dealt with this issue while uploading a very large amount of base maps from JRC. In fact, I was the one who created the Template:PD-European-Commission tag. I uploaded all of these maps under CC-BY 4.0. The JRC is a part of the European Commission.
    Firstly, the copyright notice on the bottom of the refers to "the texts of this website" and "photos" which are not relevant in dealing with a map. The JRC copyright notice is specifically for JRC data, not maps. The legal notice links to a page that says "content owned by the EU on this website" is under CC-BY-4.0. The map is certainly owned by the EU, and it is content on the website that linked to the legal notice, which led me to believe that the correct license is CC-BY-4.0. Regardless, Template:PD-European-Commission means that it is able to be on Wikipedia; the CC-BY-4.0 license is one of the restrictions specified in the template.

Oh, cool! Has a solution been found? If so, i'm not sure how to add it to the images details so I can make it okay to be up on wikipedia. I'd need help with that. StopBoi (talk) 01:24, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Graffities in South Korea photos were deleted without FOP

These photos were deleted because no commercial use FoP in South Korea.

However, per {{Non-free graffiti}}, These photos can be undeleted.

I've been asking in the past whether to use {{Non-free graffiti}} in countries without FoP.

See this.

Pinging @Ruthven: the deleting admin. Ankry (talk) 20:08, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
 Comment @Ox1997cow: According to the upload log of one of the photos, the descriprion reads "Graffiti art with Puma theme at R16 Korea 2014." On Wikipedia (w:R-16 Korea), "R16 Korea is an annual international b-boy tournament and urban arts cultural festival sponsored primarily by the Korea Tourism Organization and the South Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism....The festival features graffiti artists...from South Korea and other countries." It appears the images with "R16" show legal graffiti, and I'm leaning towards  Oppose for those. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 01:57, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
@JWilz12345: Ok. So I want to undelete File:Graffiti in Seoul 01.JPG only. Ox1997cow (talk) 03:24, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
@Ox1997cow: unsure for that. The public log does not give the uploader's description of the image. Only admins can see deleted files. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 03:34, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
@JWilz12345: I know that. So I included the word, "probably". The judgment is entirely up to the administrators. Ox1997cow (talk) 03:53, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
I agree that R16 Puma graffiti art.jpg is possibly "legal". It has the artist's signature as well in the bottom left corner. --Ruthven (msg) 16:06, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
