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.
@Barisdayak: you need to give an argument to explain why the image needs to be undeleted. As a reference, you can find the reason for its deletion here. Günther Frager (talk) 16:08, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Not done procedural close: file is not deleted. However, it probably should be deleted as either the "own" license is not valid or it is out of scope. Ankry (talk) 17:54, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

File:Birth certificate of Prince George of Cambridge - 20130802.jpg

I would like this file to be undeleted. The reasons are as follows:

The sections of UK law cited by User:HelenOnline were revoked on 25 May 2018. This can be verified by clicking on the links supplied by the original editor.
I believe that the other objection derived from the statement that the Open Government Licence did not cover the display of "personal data in the information" has been misinterpreted. What I believe they are saying is that they are not prohibiting the copying of personal data, but that the rules pertaining to personal data are elsewhere. In the case of this certificate, we should refer to en:WP:BLP. The first Wikipedia rule covers verifiability. There is no question about the verifiability of the personal information on this certificate. The second concerns privacy. In the case of Prince Louis, all the "private information" on the certificate is already in Wikipedia infoboxes, so that falls away.

I submit therefore that all objections to this certificate no longer apply. I suggest that that the licences OGL3 licence tag be used, followed by the text “The information on this certificate is so widely available that privacy rules do not apply. Martinvl (talk) 22:15, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Restore we have ruled on several occasions that birth certificates are not eligible for copyright. They do not contain any creative writing, two people would fill out the form with the same information, whereas two people writing an obituary would have wildly different writing styles. --RAN (talk) 12:49, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ): When filled by different people, their signatures will be definitely different ;) Ankry (talk) 13:42, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
As you can see in the related DR, the problem is not the form, nor its contents, but the signature. Per Commons:When_to_use_the_PD-signature_tag#United_Kingdom it is copyrighted. Ankry (talk) 13:40, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
We can always blank out the signature if we want to make doubly sure that the principle of de minimis cannot be applied. Martinvl (talk) 14:42, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

Support as per Martinvl. Yann (talk) 21:08, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
In order to upload a modified version, no need to undelete. The original file can be seen here. Ankry (talk) 00:56, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

In the last few minutes, I copied it from that source. The result was a .png, not a .jpg file. I can upload that quite happily, but before I do that, I need consensus as to whether or not I should blank out the deputy-registrar's signature. Martinvl (talk) 17:14, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Yes, you should blank out the deputy-registrar's signature. Abzeronow (talk) 19:17, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
I would suggest it to be done in the way that it is clear that the form field was altered (blanked). This way we would avoid allegations of falsifying the document. Ankry (talk) 23:31, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Should I wait for this discussion to formally close, or should I do it now? I will be loading a .png file rather than replacing the .jpg which was previously there? Martinvl (talk) 12:16, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
Yes, right. That's why I suggest undeleting this, and hiding the original file once the edited version is uploaded over. Yann (talk) 12:20, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Done: @Martinvl: Please edit the file, and tell us when you are done. --Yann (talk) 15:55, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

@Yann: I have amended the image and have updated the licene text to reflect the assistant registrar's possible interest in the copyright and subsequent blanking out of their name. Martinvl (talk) 18:23, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

File:Lauris Reiniks- Headshot 2023.jpg

Hello there!

This file was uploaded by Lauris Reiniks's publishing company and management. We own all rights to this image and consent its being here on Wikipedia. Please undelete this photo file! Thank you!

Sincerely, Lauris Reiniks Managagement / Microphone Records (MicRec)--Rigaonline (talk) 14:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Oppose request should follow the instructions from COM:VRT. The image should only be undeleted after we obtain an explicit permission from the photographer. Günther Frager (talk) 14:37, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) Oppose The file description shows "Photo by Bradford Rogne Photography 2023". Celebrity photo licenses usually allow the celebrity to use the photo in publicity but do not allow them to freely license it. Therefore, in order to restore the image here, either Bradford Rogne must send a free license using VRT or someone else must send a free license together with a copy of the written agreement from Rogne allowing that person to freely license the image.

Note that "consent its being here on Wikipedia." is inadequate. WP and Commons require that images be free for any use by anybody anywhere.

Also note that claiming {{Own}} when you were not in fact the photographer, as you did here, is a serious violation of Commons rules. If you do it again you may be blocked from editing here. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:40, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

@Rigaonline: Wikimedia accounts are strictly personal regardless whether you are authorised to enter copyright contracts on behalf of Lauris Reiniks's publishing company or not. Unless you have a contract with the photographer where he declares that he wishes to be attributed as User:Rigaonline, your authorship claim at upload (repeated at reupload) is violation of the photographer moral rights. Ankry (talk) 16:03, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Not done: The file will be restored if and when COM:VRT approves permission. --Abzeronow (talk) 16:15, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Tsumyoki

I don't agree on the closing admin's decision. I find it hasty and without properly scrutinizing the deletion process. Like they did here on [File:Jason Fernandes Entrepreneur (cropped).jpg]. If I can get a much appropriate and helpful reply, it'll be appreciated. I just want to know on what proper grounds were these files deleted? Rejoy²⁰⁰³(talk) 12:12, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Oppose As noted in the DR, when an image has been published elsewhere, policy requires that the uploader prove its copyright status using VRT or otherwise. I also find your inability to remember why you did not use your particular camera hard to believe. I also see a number of images claimed to be {{Own}} which have been deleted as copyvios. While we are prepared to Assume Good Faith, that goes away rapidly with such things. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:03, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Just to let you know, the source mentioned of the Rolling stone, has a cropped version of my image. Whereas I had the full version, who do you think is more likely to have a copyvio issue here now? Rejoy²⁰⁰³(talk) 15:18, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

@Rejoy2003: An earlier publication attributed to someone else than the Wikimedia uploader establishes a significant doubt as per COM:PCP. So we require a clear evidence of free license granted by an identifiable licensor in such cases in order to minimize risk for potential reusers. Cropped or not, the photos are the same work so their copyright holder must also be the same. Ankry (talk) 11:59, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

This file has been removed due to copyright infringement. But in fact, this photo belongs to the Minister of Strategic Industries Oleksandr Kamyshyn and is posted on his official website (I am adding a link: https://mspu.gov.ua/en/persons/oleksandr-kamyshin ). I work in the press service of this Ministry, and we were the customers of the photo shoot where this photo was taken. Therefore, I ask you to restore this photo on the Wikipedia pages in all languages. Thank you for your understanding. 01.11.2023 Krizhinka (talk) 12:57, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Comment This was claimed as {{Own}} rather than a work of a Ministry of Ukraine. Abzeronow (talk) 16:25, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Oppose The source link above comes up as a blank page. The image appears without a free license at https://ubn.news/arms-should-become-ukraines-main-export-product/. In view of the fact that you falsely claimed that you were the actual photographer when you uploaded the image, it is difficult to believe you now. In order for the image to be restored, either (a) the actual photographer must send a free license using VRT or (b) you must send a free license together with a copy of the written agreement giving you the right to freely license the image. .

File:Пять ночей у Фредди (фильм)2.jpg

Одной из причин запроса на восстановление изображения постера фильма "Пять ночей у Фредди" из Википедии является ошибка в старом переведенном постере. Ошибка заключается в том, что буква "С" стоит вместо буквы "У" в названии фильма. Это может быть причиной недоразумений и неправильного идентифицирования фильма, особенно для тех, кто не знаком с оригинальным английским названием. Восстановление изображения постера с исправленной ошибкой поможет предоставить точную информацию о фильме и избежать путаницы. --Yuda 131 (talk) 16:13, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

File:Vice Admiral Kantaro Suzuki c1917.png

Hello, this image was deleted by the user Krd with the reason "No license since 18 February 2023". However, on 18 February 2023 I explained: the source is "East Hall blog - https://web.archive.org/save/http://easthall.blog.jp/archives/31532108.html ". I don't know where they got the photo from, but it was made in 1917. "This photograph is in the public domain in Japan because its copyright has expired according to Article 23 of the 1899 Copyright Act of Japan ... It was published before January 1, 1957. It was photographed before January 1, 1947." So it should be allowed. -Artanisen (talk) 11:11, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

@Artanisen: You provided no evidence for the declared {{PD-old-70-expired}} copyright status template. The provided source also contains no such evidence. While this photo seems to be PD in Japan per creation date, its copyright status in US in unclear. Anonymous photos from Japan are generally PD 120 years after creation or 95 years after initial publication. They may be PD earlier, if published before 2.3.1989: then their copyright status depends on copyright status in Japan on 1.1.1996 (URAA date). As you can see, the initial publication date may be crucial here as 120 years since creation did not expire, yet. Ankry (talk) 11:45, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Support This shows Kantarō Suzuki as a Vice Admiral. Ranks of the Imperial Japanese Navy confirms the sleeve markings of a Vice Admiral in this photo. He held that rank from June 1, 1917 until August 3, 1923. He was later a full Admiral and then, in 1945, Prime Minister of Japan.

The photo shows the moire pattern characteristic of a halftone, so it was almost certainly published. Given his importance, it is unlikely that a photo from 1917-23 would have been published after he was promoted, so I think we are safe in assuming this is PD in the USA from publication before 1928. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:45, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Support Per Jim. The only way it's protected in the US is if it remained unpublished until 1989; it was obviously PD in Japan on the URAA date. Carl Lindberg (talk) 13:59, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by SharonFairPhD

The images of the scientific author were deleted as "out of scope" despite one being in-use. We encourage authors to submit images. The author has a valid Wikidata page with an VIAF, ResearchGate, and LCCN entry. The images of book covers and flags can remain deleted. See Sharon Fair. --RAN (talk) 04:33, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

@Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ):

Do you want to reopen the DR providing new arguments? Or do you mean something else? We are not here to override community decisions.
Why low resolution image File:Dr. Sharon Fair 2023.03.14 WDI-USA Demonstration.png (Dr. Sharon Fair speaking at WDI-USA's International Women's Day demonstration in St. Augustine, Florida on March 12, 2023) is in scope? The abovementioned Wikidata item in my opinion does not meet Wikidata notability criteria (if I am wrong, please, explain why it does). Moreover, the photo is likely a copyvio as Sharon Fair cannot be here both: the speaker and the photographer. It is not a selfie.

Ankry (talk) 23:49, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

Huh? One vote to keep one to delete is not consensus to delete. Deletion based on "out of scope" is flawed, you cannot be out-of-scope and in-use simultaneously, this isn't an image of Schrodinger's cat. "Likely a copyvio" was not the rationale for deletion. --RAN (talk) 23:55, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

@Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ): , which images do you believe should be restored. You have agreed that the books and flags should not be. The two images of Sharon Fair that I have seen claim that she is the photographer when it is completely obvious that they cannot be selfies. Also please remember that DRs are not votes and while the closing Admin must consider opposing arguments, it is ultimately up to them. Finally, note that there were two experienced users who believed the images should be deleted -- the nom, and the closing Admin, so even if it were a vote, you would be on the losing side. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs) 14:41, 25 October 2023‎ (UTC)

Nothing is "completely obvious" cameras have timers, I routinely take images of myself using the timer. Again let me repeat: "Deletion based on 'out of scope' is flawed, you cannot be out-of-scope and in-use at Wikidata simultaneously". We encourage scientists and authors to submit images of themselves. --RAN (talk) 03:42, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

I am not yet seeing a consensus to undelete. None of the demostration photos are selfies, and I have doubts that a few others you are requesting are selfies. Abzeronow (talk) 19:15, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

I am not seeing any evidence presented that the images were not selfies, only File:Dr. Sharon Fair 2023.03.14 WDI-USA Demonstration.png where the distance from her to the camera was too great to be a selfie. --RAN (talk) 18:42, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Oppose File:Sharon Fair 1967.08 with brother Michael and sister Sheila at home in Havre de Grace, MD.jpg is obviously not a selfie so there is reasonable cause to believe that this user uploads other people's photos and claim them as her own. Thuresson (talk) 20:00, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Oppose We have a person who claims a variety of degrees earned in three years, who has falsely claimed {{Own}} for at least one image and almost certainly on all the images above. She claims having written several books which can't be found at Amazon or elsewhere. The Wikidata entry was done by RAN, so it is not relevant to his request. Therefore, the subject images are almost certainly copyright violations and are out of scope personal images of a non-contributor who is not notable. . Jim . . .

in fact the logo is the update from 2018 when they acquired Totalerg, the previous, more complex one is mentioned above (and it is not even from 2018 but rather from 2008) Giov.c (talk) 10:23, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Oppose I suspect that this is over the ToO in both Italy and the USA, The fact that another version exists is irrelevant to that question. However, more to the point, I see no reason to keep an image that is 64 pixels square when we have a much larger version available. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:49, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

they were 64 pixels but in SVG. In fact, I recreated it myself later Giov.c (talk) 10:22, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Related discussion: 1, 2. The seal of CPC was adopted in 1946, so it should had been in the Public Domain per {{PD-China}}. Since that the current wording of the logo was adopted in 2007 (still copyrighted), and I don't know which of the files were without words, so please just restore those files with the seal only. (or maybe cropped the file first if none were without one?) —— Eric Liu_（Talk） 09:08, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Support Although {{PD-China}} could be used for Taiwan, {{PD-Taiwan}} is a better choice. The rule there is 50 years after public release for works authored by a legal entity. The Taiwan URAA date is 2002, so these do not have a URAA copyright. Except for the logo itself, which you say is from 1946, I do not see enough words to have a copyright, so these are free of copyright. . Jim . . .

File:John_Daly_at_AmEx_Crop.JPG

I would like this image of PGA golfer John Daly at the American Express Championship in 2005 to be undeleted. The 2005 American Express Championship is the tournament where John Daly lost in a playoff to Tiger Woods, many golf critics considered this tournament to be the one that determined Daly's exemption status on the PGA Tour. The main reason I am requesting undeletion is due to the fact that this image shows John Daly swinging with his driver. As he was the longest driver on the PGA Tour for many years, I consider this image to be special. I believe this image is better than the image that is currently on the John Daly Wikipedia page. So, due to the historical significance, suitability concerning Daly's PGA Tour driving statistics from the past, and Daly's persona, I call for this image to be undeleted.

File is from the Burbank city website and deleted due to the fact that it said "© Copyright 2023 City of Burbank" at the footer. As it's from a California city government, I put the template PD-CAGov, which states that works created by a government unit are public domain. Túrelio (talk · contribs) said that "In addition, the source-site states "© Copyright 2023 City of Burbank.

File:LOGO SK BENUT.png

I would like to request to undelete the image I had uploaded.

Long story short, I am a teacher who mistakenly deleted the former image of my school badge in infobox while attempting to make changes for the details as requested by the headmaster of my school. As the consequence, I uploaded a picture of my school badge onto Wikipedia to be put into my school's infobox. As I have zero prior knowledge in web editing and as such, I tried to learn how to upload an image onto Wikipedia as amendment. I successfully did so for a while until I have to edit again the wikipedia page and found out the image was no longer there. Please make this easier for me, please retract the image back or the former one if you could. This is too much for me, editing info on wikipedia is so complicated.

Support restoration. We already had evidence of a Creative Commons license. Abzeronow (talk) 16:41, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

This clearly used to have a CC-by license: Version from May 14. The text (including the tooltip) says Licens: Creative Commons erkännande. Med en Creative Commons-licens, behåller du din upphovsrätt men tillåter andra människor att kopiera och distribuera ditt verk under förutsättning att de erkänner dig som upphovsman. Du tillåter andra att kopiera, distribuera, visa och framföra verket, samt att skapa bearbetningar av det., which translates to With a Creative Commons license, you retain your copyright but allow other people to copy and distribute your work provided they acknowledge you as the author. You permit others to copy, distribute, display and perform the work, and to create adaptations of it.. This is a CC-by license, even though the version is unclear.

I would still be wary of undeleting this, however. It looks to me like they didn't put the CC license there on purpose, this looks rather like a mistake of the mynewsdesk site, which is in no position to give a license to content that is copyrighted by Sony. --rimshot^talk 16:58, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Oppose The website is from a startup company that does press releases and they cannot really re-license material that they don't hold the copyright. It is hard to believe that a multinational record company would release an album cover art with a CC-BY license. They might release a photo from an artist with CC-BY, but for example it is really hard to believe that Sony gave the OK to upload this tiff file (73MB) to a public server and under a CC-BY license. If one look at the other media they have from Sony it is clear that uploads before 26 October have a different license (press release). I would be on cautionary side and contact MyNewsDesk and get a confirmation the licenses are really OK. Günther Frager (talk) 17:40, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Oppose While images from the 1930s may be PD in the country of origin, they almost certainly have a URAA copyright in the US. It is likely that Almy has not considered this. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:04, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Russian terms would have been 50 years from publication for anonymous works, which for 1930s photos would have expired before the URAA date. Carl Lindberg (talk) 14:58, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

~~Support~~ {{PD-Russia-1996}} should be OK here. Yann (talk) 15:13, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
Oppose I agree with Jim that the photos most likely are copyrighted in US, but it is unrelated to URAA. We have no evidence that the photos were published before March 1989, so US copyright applies to them directly (95 years from publication or 120 years from creation for anonymous photos). They seem to originate from a non-public gallery (http://www.atexpo.ru/about/project/north/08/) located in an automotive(!) exhibition website. (Wayback Machine got info about access restriction while trying to archive the content.) They are way too recent for PD-old-assumed. I suggest to undelete them in 2058. Ankry (talk) 17:39, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

File:Ph2-r031201-1 (2).jpg

Reason:This file was previously deleted for the reason 'the portraits of the Imperial families are excluded from GJSTU-2.0.' However, both Section 7c of the 'Government of Japan Standard Terms of Use (Version 2.0)' (available at https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Government_of_Japan_Standard_Terms_of_Use_(Version_2.0)) and Section 6c of the Imperial Household Agency website's 'Notice on Copyright and Other Related Matters Regarding this Website' (available at https://www.kunaicho.go.jp/e-copyright/) explicitly state: 'The Terms of Use are compatible with the Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0 (hereinafter referred to as the CC License). This means that content based on the Terms of Use may be used under the CC License in lieu of the Terms of Use.' To clarify for those who may not understand, this implies that content licensed under GJSTU-2.0 can be used under the CC BY 4.0 terms. According to 'CC BY 4.0 DEED' (available at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), as long as the terms 'Attribution - You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use' are followed, there are 'No additional restrictions - You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits.'

Oppose It is unlikely that the subject has the right to freely license the image. While the subject may have a license to use the image in his publicity, photographer's rarely include the right to freely license images in this kind of arrangement.

In any event, in order to have the image restored, either the photographer must provide a free license via VRT or someone else must provide a free license including a copy of the written agreement with the photographer allowing that person to freely license the image.

I note that when you uploaded the image, you claimed that you were the actual photographer. Your claim above makes it obvious that is not true.

@Lvova: This looks sketchy to me. I've restored it temporarily Abzeronow (talk) 16:10, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

I also would be glad to hear other opinions. It was deleted as copyvio but I don't see any evidences that it is, and we don't have other images of this person. Анастасия Львова^ru/en 16:15, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

It is very low resolution for a 2023 photograph unless it was a crop of a cellular phone photograph or was taken with a really old cellular phone. I didn't find any hits on TinEye. Abzeronow (talk) 16:23, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Maybe asking for a higher resolution would help. The ticket mentions that this image hasn't been published previously? In its current condition, I'd have been precautious in accepting permissions, at the least, before asking for this. ─ The Aafī (^talk) 17:37, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

and just to correct @Lvova, this image was not deleted as a copyvio. @Krd deleted it under "No ticket permission since 10 October 2023". ─ The Aafī (^talk) 17:38, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

And what does it mean then? :) Someone wrote that there is no an author's permission (=copyvio) and then it was a ticket with an expiration date. Анастасия Львова^ru/en 17:49, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

@Lvova, If we do not receive a valid response on a ticket after 30 days from the date when a VRT agent sent an initial response, the affected file is deleted as "No ticket permission since". This is done generally under F4 criteria of CSD. "No ticket permission" does not always mean "copyvio". If permissions are received after 30 days and are legitimate, the affected files are undeleted. ─ The Aafī (^talk) 18:00, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Ok, if you want to be so strict. ANyway in this case there was no need in VRT, but as far as the author saw an advice to write a letter - s(he) wrote. Анастасия Львова^ru/en 18:03, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

File:Wfb-ng-logo-big.png

Hi, die Datei wurde leider automatisiert durch den Bot gelöscht und auf eine Rückfrage in meiner Disc leider kein Bezug genommen:

Die Abgrenzung bei Logos hier auf commons kann ich leider nicht ganz nachvollziehen. Große Marken, die mit Sicherheit sowohl Copyright als auch Markenschutz auf ihren Logos haben sind hier vertreten. Wenn ich aber Logos freier Projekte mit Verweis auf die öffentliche Quelle hier hochlade, dann werden die binnen weniger Tage gelöscht. Ist das wirklich so beabsichtigt, oder mache ich etwas falsch?

Bei dem Bild handelt es sich um ein recht frei lizenziertes Logo eines Open Source Projektes. Ich vermag nicht so recht zu sehen, was hier das Problem ist? Leider wurden auch bereits alle meine anderen Logos von Projekten aus dem UAV Umfeld ebenso entfernt. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn wir hier kurz darüber reden könnten, vielleicht stelle ich mich ja auch einfach nur ungeschickt an? --MyRobotron (talk) 11:31, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

That page has an explicit copyright notice and a discussion which ends with "It seems to not possible to remove ND term because wfb-ng logo is a registered trademark". I don't understand that comment, but an ND license is not permitted on Commons.

Dear Wiki,

this is about the File:Mick Ronson 1974.webp I don't understand why you guys deleted this image as I gave it the proper copyright and authorship to the person who took the photo. I did what was said under "attribution" which says, attribution – You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. Which is what I did, I provided the proper link/website, credit and name of the person. I gave the proper credit and tag. The website is publicly open to anyone and accessible on Google. Unless I have chosen the wrong license file on wikimedia pls let me know which one to use. This is a very nice picture of him and it would be great if you guys could just let this one be his thumbnail picture. I don't understand why the file was deleted. Please I am only trying to do him justice with a good wikipedia picture. Just please let him have a good wikipedia picture. No offence and I'm so sorry, but the picture you guys keep uploading of him sucks. You can barely see his face :( there are so many good pictures of him out there to choose from. Again, very sorry if I sound rude.

Oppose The source site does not have any free license. When you uploaded the image, you claimed that you were the actual photographer. From your note above, it is obvious that that is not true. Making false claims of authorship is a serious violation of Commons rules and may lead to your being blocked from editing here.

We do not accept notes such as that above as they are far too easy to forge. In order for this image to be restored, the actual copyright holder must send a free license using VRT. Note that "ja det kan benyttes i Wikipedia mot kreditering av fotografens navn/Forsvaret" is not sufficient. Images on Commons must be free for any use by anybody anywhere. . Jim . . .

File:Aerial view of homes destroyed in Rolling Fork, Mississippi.jpg

Back in July 2023, on an image I nominated for deletion myself, the Template:PD-NWS was confirmed that the copyright symbol, “©” is required for images on a NOAA webpage if they are not public domain. As part of the upload process images automatically are put into the public domain without that symbol. Image was deleted because the specific webpage did not say it was public domain, however, the licensing template is clear and the copyright symbol did not appear on the webpage. WeatherWriter (talk) 18:17, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Oppose I think this is an exception to the rule stated in the template. I find it very difficult to believe that Getty made one of its images PD. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 19:52, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

The thing is, that is an opinionated reason. We have a NOAA license saying anything on their website that is not explicitly stated to be copyrighted it in the public domain. WeatherWriter (talk) 20:29, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Yes, it is the opinion of a user with over 400,000 actions on Commons, from the last 15 years. I have seen Getty gather in and claim copyright on images that were PD, but I have never seen Getty put an image into the PD. I also note that https://www.weather.gov/fsd/disclaimer to which you refer speaks to images voluntarily uploaded to the site. It says nothing about images that the NWS requested from others, which was almost certainly the case here. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:06, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Withdrawing. 2 admins say it ain't copyright free, going against the NOAA copyright template. Either way, seems administrator consensus says this specific image somehow doesn't follow the PD template, so it isn't allowed on the Commons. Withdrawn. WeatherWriter (talk) 21:16, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Generally when an image is mislabeled, we correct and do not delete. When we delete it leaves the mislabeled image on the original website, and the misinformation remains in the wild.

File:Mojang Studios Logo.svg

Hi, This should be OK with {{PD-textlogo}}. See also File:Mojang Studios.jpg and Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Mojang logos. Yann (talk) 12:42, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

In US - obviously. But in Sweden? Pinging @Josve05a, Natuur12, and Fitindia: - users who participated in DR. Any comments? Ankry (talk) 21:43, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

No strong opinion in favor of undeleting or keeping the files deleted. A file such as File:Mojang Logo.png would be above the threshold of originality in various jurisdictions such as the UK and the Netherlands, but I'm not familiar enough with Swedish copyright law to state wherever this is or isn't the case in Sweden. Jeg stoler på dig Josve. Natuur12 (talk) 22:00, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

FWIW, this is much simpler than the examples given on COM:Sweden, especially File:A6 logo.png. Yann (talk) 22:11, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

I converted the deletion of the file from a speedy tag to a "deletion discussion", given that I myself was unsure of the TOO status when I was patrolling the speedy category for clear copyvios. However, if I would have to give an opinion of this now, I'm leaning 50/50 on this, given the A6 logo mentioned above, however Swedish courts have historically acknowledged that even modest design choices can qualify for copyright protection, as long as they demonstrate a certain level of creative input. In the case of the Mojang logo, the deliberate arrangement and configuration of the notches (and clear distortion of the letters) appear to meet this criterion, thereby placing it above the threshold of originality as outlined by Swedish copyright law. The case of the "A6" logo, as described in the example, illustrates the determination that the specific design in question did not meet the threshold of originality for copyright protection. The decision was based on the logo's simplicity and lack of distinctive character, including the ordinary font and basic design elements that did not exhibit significant creative effort. Comparatively, the Mojang logo features specific design elements, namely the notches cut out from the letters, which are not typically found in standard fonts. This unique characteristic of the logo represents a deliberate creative decision, indicating a level of originality that surpasses the simplistic and common features of the "A6" logo. Additionally, the incorporation of distinctive design elements such as the notches contributes to the overall identity and branding of Mojang, serving as a recognizable and distinguishing feature of the company's visual representation (but that's touching more on Trademark than copyright, but still counts for something when it comes to "verkshöjd"). --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 22:05, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Would you say that it would be wise to apply the COM:PCP in this case and keep the file deleted? Further, should this lead to the deletion of File:Mojang Studios.jpg (the same image, but JPEG) under both PCP and COM:G4? IceWelder [✉] 12:04, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Both files should be treated the same. I am however very unsure personally on advocating for either deletion or undeletion in this case. However, PCP is a core policy which should always take precedence in case we can't reach a clear determination to keep a file. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 17:24, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

In that case, I would again advocate for the file's deletion, as I did with my original G4 tagging that led to this discussion in the first place. Thank you for your insight. IceWelder [✉] 15:57, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Protocolo de Puerto España

This is just to report that article “Protocolo de Puerto España” has come under censuring attack by user taichi since last week. First, user taichi started by deleting Venezuelan newspaper images under the presumption that they might constitute a breach of copyrights laws. However, Article 47 of current Venezuelan copyrights regulation -Ley sobre el Derecho de Autor- states that if properly attributed, it allows both free diffusion or content transmission of such newspaper and magazines articles or radio broadcasts as they report on daily economic, social, religious, cultural and political events. Thus, they do not constitute journalistic ops or intellectual production which are subject to author´s permission and copyrights-.

Please be aware that Venezuela and United Kingdon have confronted a border dispute since 1899 when an arbitration award established a border with British Guyana. Just months prior to Guyana independence in 1966, they all signed the Geneva agreement to resolve the border issue by peaceful means. After failed attempts of direct negotiations, UN Secretariat send the case to the International Court of Justice. Thus, there is a current case on the validity of the 1899 arbitration award. Censured images by user taichi shows Venezuelan handling of the border dispute in the past that clearly contradicts current narrative on its compliance of Geneva agreement. Thus deletion timing seems politically motivated as it limits the spread of historical facts to the Spanish Speaking audience; Oddly, deletion of content happened on the very same day that Venezuelan government attended an oral questioning at the International Court of Justice on its upcoming consultative referendum on December 3rd, 2023. Unlike Guyanese people who have access to previous and current ICJ decisions and orders, Spanish speaking Venezuelans have had no information on such meaningful documents in both English and French. Current narrative by Venezuelan government resorts to historical negationism. Deleting content and censuring information is no surprise. On November, 19th 2023, Venezuelans attended a mock referendum on the issue.

Would you please restore deleted images and information on the Protocolo de Puerto España. As it is most likely that a restored article would come under censuring attacks again, would you please protect it or prevent its undue deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rahuldlucca ‎ (talk • contribs)

To clarify, the user has been reacting vehemently as anonymous IP accusing me of "censorship" (I'm not a Commons administrator and the files were deleted because were "fair use"). The nature of this request is flawed by the applicant's ignorance of the Wikimedia Commons policies. Taichi (talk) 02:57, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Oppose First, User:Rahuldlucca must refrain from making ridiculous accusations. Wikipedia and Commons are not censored. We are concerned here only with copyright. If Rahuldlucca makes further similar false accusations, they may be blocked from editing here. I also note that the user has claimed to be the actual creator of some of their uploads when that was not true. Making false claims of authorship is a serious violation of Commons rules and may also lead to being blocked from editing here.

Second, Article 47 of the Venezuelan Law on Copyright does give the press and broadcasters the right to disseminate various information that would otherwise be copyrighted. However, Commons is not one of the users that have any rights under Article 47. Images on Commons must be free for any use by anybody anywhere, not just the press and broadcasts. . Jim . . .

File:St. Paisios portrait.jpg

The picture ought to be old enough to use publically, also the picture isn't copyright claimed by anyone, therefore it's public use. Eimaivault (talk) 13:31, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Oppose The subject is Saint Paisios of Mount Athos (1924-1994). The Turkish law is that for anonymous works, copyright lasts for 70 years after first publication, so if this was taken any time after 1953, it still has a Turkish copyright. It also has a US copyright which lasts for 95 years after first publication. The image shows a man much older than 30, so it is under copyright and will be for some time.

Also note that "also the picture isn't copyright claimed by anyone, therefore it's public use" is absolutely not correct. Copyright exists whether or not anyone has claimed it. Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:29, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi, undeletion already requested here, in vain: Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2023-08.

The requester then was both the uploader and the subject of the photo.

File:Universitas Lambung Mangkurat.png

We ask the Wikipedia editor to restore the deleted image of the Lambung Mangkurat University logo. The file is placed in the info box in the Lambung Mangkurat University article. The importance of this logo helps readers to recognize and illustrate the organization in question. Since this is a non-free logo, there are almost certainly no other free representations of this logo. Any substitute for this work that is not a derivative work will fail to convey its intended meaning, misrepresenting its image, for the sake of identification and explanation.

File:RGF team flag (2021 WCh).svg

Can you undelete this file, please? This is flag of national team which performed at the World Gymnastics Championships in 2021 (Russian athletes couldn't complete under own national flag due to WADA's sanctions). It's not easy to replace this flagicon in the lists of medalists. Hyperion82 (talk) 11:26, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Oppose. These were found to probably be copyrighted in Russia in a deletion request, and I don't see how we're going to get past the threshold of significant doubt. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 19:22, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Can you also undelete this flag? This is flag of national team which completed at the 2021 World Championships (Russian athletes couldn't completed under own national flag due to doping-related sanctions). It's uneasy to replace this flagicon for the list of medalists - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Figure_Skating_Championships Hyperion82 (talk) 11:31, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Oppose unless there is a valid reason to use {{PD-RU-exempt}} or another license. That was the motive of its deletion, see Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:SVG flags of Russia. If the requester is only worried about a page in enwiki, they might try upload these flags locally. Günther Frager (talk) 11:39, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

File:Sukhoi Okhotnik-B.jpg

Deleted per the discussion at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Sukhoi Okhotnik-B.jpg, however the image claimed not to be fair use is not the same image as contained in this file. The image that was contained in this file is free use. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RedundancyAdvocate (talk • contribs)

@RedundancyAdvocate: What exactly do you mean as free use? : a specific written permission by the photo copyright holder (which exactly and where?), a specific exception in local and US copyright law (which exactly?), or just use under legal construction (which allows some exploitation of copyrighted work without explicit permission)? The uploader declared to be the photo author and copyright holder and attempted to grant a CC license on this basis. This is blatant copyright violation if not true, and per policy, requires VRT permission if this is actually the case (unlikely, as the photo seems to be grabbed from Internet). Ankry (talk) 01:00, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Photos produced by the Russian military are generally free-use. Everything points to it being from there- maybe a reverse image search is in order. All I said is that it is NOT the same image as on that page. RedundancyAdvocate (talk) 01:10, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

@RedundancyAdvocate: Could you point to the official documentation from the Russia military where it specify what "free-use" entails? That is, what Andry asked you and are not answering. In common, "free license" ha a very specific meaning. Günther Frager (talk) 11:32, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Oppose This appears at https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/sukhoi-s-70-okhotnik-b-closer-look-russias-stealth-fighter-gourgi/

Note that the uploader, Geektrooper2, claims to be the photographer. Five other images on which he claimed {{Own}} have been deleted as not his work. The last of his images has a DR for the same reason. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:42, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

File:Ravel-1913.jpg

This photo was found in a 1913 issue of a UK journal and tagged {{PD-UK-unknown}}. In the DR, the uploader was told to "go back and review the journal for a non-statement of authorship" and seemingly never did so.

I have reviewed the journal issue on JSTOR. The article in which the photo appears does not mention the photographer's name. The back matter table of contents only states "with Special Portrait", also not mentioning the photographer's name. (The front matter contains no table of contents.)

Is this enough to address the concerns raised at the DR? (@Rosenzweig and Magog the Ogre: please weigh in.) Wikiacc (talk) 22:59, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Support Sounds good to me. Carl Lindberg (talk) 23:52, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Support Well, that's at least the minimum amount of research. Since it was published in 1913 it's definitely in the PD in the US, so I think we can restore this 110 years old (or even older) image. --Rosenzweig τ 23:55, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Comment: Apparently, Commons has other cropped versions of this photo. Outside of Commons, the photo is attributed in some places, for example on the verso of an EMI music album [8], to R. Melcy [9], a photographer in Paris, about who I couldn't find information, although Commons has other photographs from about the same era by this photographer. -- Asclepias (talk) 17:00, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Interesting, thank you. Per [10] and [11], a photo studio by the name of Boldo-Melcy was still around in Paris in 1943. Might be a successor to R. Melcy. --Rosenzweig τ 07:10, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

We already have 2 pictures by R. Melcy so I created Category:R. Melcy. French National Library says "active at the beginning of the 20th century". Yann (talk) 08:34, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

This photo was published in September 1910 in French magazine Musica n° 96, online here, credited to Melcy. It's flipped (mirrored) though, so either the 1910 or the 1913 publication is incorrect. --Rosenzweig τ 13:10, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Oppose. We'd need to know more about the provenance of the photograph to restore it on Commons. It can perhaps be used on some local projects under non-free content guidelines, but Commons can't host files under claims of fair use. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 05:33, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
