File:Pakistan-5-reverse.jpg

This Pakistan 5-rupee banknote is part of the 2005 series. However, it was only released in 2008, alongside the new 50-rupee banknote, 3 years after the series' first banknote, the first version of the 20-rupee note was issued. It was then withdrawn in 2011 and ceased to be exchangeable a year later.

The fact that it is a 2005 series banknote despite being released three years after the year of the series doesn't justify its deletion, as it's still part of the same series. The rest of the series that doesn't include the 5-rupee note is still legal tender in Pakistan today.

File:EdaEce1990.png

I noticed this image was deleted, but I think it should be undeleted. It was taken from an official distributor channel (FOX) as you can see here: [1] I see the nomination says "The director of this TV serie until March 2020 was Neslihan Yeşilyurt. Since this director didn't publish it on Youtube with CC, we don't use screenshot here with CC" but we can safely assume the official TV channel of the show has the necessary permissions from production crew/director before "distributing" it. I mean, when do you see a show or film release from director's own channels? The director works on the production and the production company/distributor/TV channel handles the release and the distributing part. So for this reason, "because it's not from director's youtube channel" is not really a good argument to delete, it's from official TV channel page after all.Tehonk (talk) 01:13, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

The DR does seem to conflate the author with the copyright owner, which are not necessarily the same person or entity. If the director was employed by Fox, then Fox is the copyright owner. Article 10 of Turkey's law even states that for a joint work, the owner is the one who brings the collaborators together, and Article 18 is their work-for-hire clause. I don't know much about that television program. If there was production company, they probably own the rights. If Fox was just the distributor and not the copyright owner, they could not license it. But if Fox was the production company as well and as such owns the rights, it would seem to be fine. The question is if the YouTube account is the copyright owner of the material (which may be different than the author). Carl Lindberg (talk) 08:09, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose The video cited as the source, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qG-9LDLj-4, returns "Video unavailable. This video is private." The uploader did not request and we did not do a {{License review}}, so we have no confirmation of the license status of the YouTube page. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:44, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
At least as of November 2021, that link had that license, per the Internet archive, which I think was a year and a half after the upload. Interesting that it has been taken down now, though. That often happens when Youtube gets a copyright complaint which is not defended. Carl Lindberg (talk) 14:05, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
Yes, there is confirmation of the license status from the archived link.
@Clindberg no, disappearance would be because of the recent rebranding from FOX to NOW, some old videos/channels were removed as part of it. Tehonk (talk) 18:21, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

File:Anatoly Berezin with his son, 1976.jpg

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: I request to restore this file, because here on the website of the museum: https://mrkm.ru/novosti/k-90-letiyu-anatoliya-ivanovicha-berezina/?sphrase_id=8151. It says that all materials of the website are covered by Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license. FlorianH76 (talk) 19:42, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

 Info In order to consider this declaration valid, we would need explanation how did the museum received copyright to the photo from the photographer or from the photographer's heirs. It is unlikely that the photo was made by an employee of the museum. Ankry (talk) 10:05, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Images of the Torre Branca

Hi everyone, I'm writing in order to ask for the undeletion of File:Milano Torre Parco Sempione.jpg (deleted after this DR in 2012), File:Torre Branca 2.JPG (deleted after this DR in 2012) and File:ParSemp S11.jpg (deleted after this DR in 2013). All these images depict the en:Torre Branca, a tower commissioned by the Municipality of Milan to en:Gio Ponti and finished in 1933 (see here). Therefore it fell under Template:PD-ItalyGov at least since 1954. It is a building built before 1990, so no issue with US copyright. The copyright warning that is now present in the Category:Torre_Branca_(Milan) should also therefore be removed.--Friniate (talk) 19:36, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

I do not see an actual reason given for deletion, just a link to Commons:Licensing. --RAN (talk) 18:09, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

I think speedy deletion was not appropriate for an early 1980s photograph of this kind but a DR would have been. Is this an American photograph? It also appears to be an unpublished photograph, RAN uploading it seems like first publication. Abzeronow (talk) 18:15, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Done. --RAN (talk) 22:47, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
Thanks, as an unpublished photograph, it would enter the public domain in 2064. It is apparently licensed under a heirs license (which may need VRT since it appears to be extended family but I could be being overly cautious here). Abzeronow (talk) 22:58, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Requesting undeletion of photograph titled Artist Donald Renner. Photograph resides in the collection of the late artist's daughter, Gail Lynn Renner who gives her permission to publish the image on Wikipedia.

Also requesting undeletion of copies of artist Donald Renner's artwork samples. The late artist's daughter, Gail Lynn Renner, also gives her permission to publish these samples of his artwork on his Wikipedia page. The Lady in the Red Hat File:Lady in the Red Hat (Watercolor Portrait) by Donald Renner.JPG is an original watercolor in Renner's home collection. Chief James Billie File:Chief James Billie (Oil Portrait) by Donald Renner.JPG is an original oil painting likely in the possession of the Seminole Tribe, but the late artist's daughter has copies of the original in her personal collection.

File:Chandragupta Maurya with Selucid Princess bride Helena.jpg

@Túrelio: User Túrelio deleted this image claiming it to be a "copyright violation" saying "Claimed as own work but can be found on the internet before upload date.". He deleted it without even notifying me about a possible deletion. This image is a colorization of an image from a book that is already out of copyright status "https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chandra_Gupta_Maurya_entertains_his_bride_from_Babylon.jpg". This deletion was unjustified, and needs to be undone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aearthrise (talk • contribs)

@Aearthrise: Note that both claiming Own work for images already published or made by someone else as well as reupload of deleted images are serious violations of Wikimedia Commons policies. You may be blocked if you do so again. Ankry (talk) 09:50, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
@Ankry: Don't play this pompous attitude with me as you are incorrect in your thought process; this colorization is my own work, adapted from another work with no color, and it was deleted unjustly from faulty logic unchecked by the reviewer Turelio. He claimed it can be found on the internet before upload date, which is a complete lie. Aearthrise (talk) 11:22, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
@Aearthrise, Using things like the {{Derived from}} template or including more information with the uploaded file, including noting the source file's copyright status, can make it clearer why you're making an own work claim when you're uploading something that is clearly not 100% your own work. —Tcr25 (talk) 13:20, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Images of Palazzo delle Poste (Massa)

Hi everyone, I'm writing in order to ask for the undeletion of File:Massa-palazzo delle poste1.jpg, File:Massa-palazzo delle poste2.jpg, File:Massa-palazzo delle poste3.jpg, all depicting it:Palazzo delle Poste (Massa) and all deleted after this DR in 2013. As already pointed out in the two previous UDRs (here and here), this was one of the general post offices designed by Angiolo Mazzoni in his capacity as engineer at the Ministry for Communications (see here and here for more informations). It is therefore a work for hire for the Italian State Administration and it fell under Template:PD-ItalyGov in 1954. It is a building built before 1990 so no issue with US copyright.--Friniate (talk) 12:10, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

File:William Francis Norton (1857-1939) memoir.pdf

In use public domain document. A grandchild of the author does not want it in the public domain, but that isn't how United States copyright law works or how Wikimedia Commons rules work. Nothing would enter the public domain if a single person could have veto power over the expiration of copyrights. The rational for the deletion was per User:Consigned, but their argument was that it is "not in scope", but our rule is: "A media file that is in use on one of the other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation is considered automatically to be useful for an educational purpose". The rational for the deletion was per User:Ankry: "not published prior to its upload to Commons". We host over 1,000 documents and images under the {{PD-US-unpublished}} license. There was an argument that the 1970 introductory paragraph and addendum had limited distribution, even though it it did not comply with a copyright symbol or copyright registration, as a compromise the 1970 annotations were removed. --RAN (talk) 16:15, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

  •  Oppose It seems the closing admin deleted it due to unadressed or acknowledged COM:SCOPE issues, not anything to do with copyright. Although the claim it was PD was (and is) still questionable anyway, but at least a couple of people made good arguements for the file not being in scope. Your whole "but its in use on other projects" thing is just a circular self justification in the meantime. One that at least IMO goes against the "usage done in good faith is in scope" part of the guideline. --Adamant1 (talk) 16:31, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose The file was in use on a Wikidata item that you created. As Consigned clearly exposed there is a problem in both projects policies when they can be exploited this way. A non notable memoir, linked on Wikidata, cannot be automatically in scope here. Likewise a non notable memoir should not have a Wikidata item just because it is linked internally. Bedivere (talk) 16:31, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
"A media file that is in use on one of the other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation is considered automatically to be useful for an educational purpose ... It should be stressed that Commons does not overrule other projects about what is in scope. If an image is in use on another project (aside from use on talk pages or user pages), that is enough for it to be within scope." I don't see any exceptions to the rule. Perhaps the rule should be changed to give people veto power first. I do not see the exception to the rule you are claiming. --RAN (talk) 16:35, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
Common sense still applies. You have not addressed and never said clearly that you created the Wikidata items yourself and that you're using that rule to artificially trying to keep the files here. Where is the good faith in that? Can you please elaborate that without deliberately avoiding the whole point in discussion? Bedivere (talk) 16:38, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
@Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) will you respond or continue to avoid the point? Bedivere (talk) 17:33, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
People use the phrase: "Common sense" to mean something an individual believes to be true that another individual does not believe to be true. It is just an empty phrase. --RAN (talk) 17:36, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
You still haven't answered anything Bedivere (talk) 18:04, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose I read through the document rapidly. It's a family memoir from a non-notable person. The claim made in the DR that it sheds light on railroad building and early telephones is nonsense -- he mentions working on several railroads, but gives no interesting details. He describes an early railroad telephone conversation -- so what? I agree that our policy that "in use is in scope" does not have to be applied when the uploader creates the use. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:40, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
  • "No interesting details" is subjective, we house over 1,000,000 books of fiction pre 1929 that I will never read, perhaps no one will ever read. --RAN (talk) 17:38, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
Sounds like the absolute "[not] overrule other projects" is now "except when I disagree". --RAN (talk) 16:42, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
COM:EDUSE "any use that is not made in good faith does not count." How exactly does that make "[not] overrule other projects" an absolute? --Adamant1 (talk) 16:49, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
How is it in bad faith? There is no Commons description of "bad faith", it seems you can overrule an absolute by just claiming bad faith, without defining it. Can we now set up a bot delete every entry that links to another project by the uploader? --RAN (talk) 17:12, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
You didn't answer the question. How does "any use that is not made in good faith does not count" make usage on other projects an absolute? You can't just claim the exception can't ever be applied or that "usage on other projects" is an absolute just because words have no ultimate, universally agreed on meaning. --Adamant1 (talk) 17:16, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
I already said you are just using the phrase to give yourself veto power. All you have to do is use the phrase "bad faith" without defining it. It seems that you are defining bad faith as "uploading a document to Commons and creating a Wikidata entry by the same person". Can we now set up a bot to delete every entry that links to another project by the uploader? --RAN (talk) 17:32, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
I don't really see how I'm unilaterally doing anything when I wasn't the one who deleted the image and like 5 other people agree with that being the outcome, but then comments like that are exactly why I think this whole thing is bad faithed on your part. We'll have to agree to disagree though. But it does seem like your beating a dead horse regardless. Maybe try getting the point to start with next time. --Adamant1 (talk) 17:51, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
That just makes my point. You are moving the goalpost, now "bad faith" is citing policy: "comments like that ... I think this whole thing is bad faithed on your part". Unless you are willing to apply this new rule universally by having a bot scour Commons for entries that linked to Wikidata by the same uploader, you are just making up rules and applying them ad hoc with bias. --RAN (talk) 18:24, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
"any use that is not made in good faith does not count." Uploading this file, then creating a Wikidata item for it to be kept on Commons under the illusion it is in scope because "A media file that is in use on one of the other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation is considered automatically to be useful for an educational purpose" is bad faith. Period. Bedivere (talk) 18:31, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
The problem is you are just shouting "bad faith" then coming up with a unique one-time-only definition. Now for the third or fourth time: Are we going to create a bot to scour Commons for entries that are linked to Wikidata by the same uploader and have them all deleted? If not, then it isn't a real Wiki-rule, rules get applied universally. --RAN (talk) 20:50, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
The problem is that you have failed to explain how is the file in scope without resorting to that argument nobody is buying that these are in scope because an item you created on Wikidata is using them. Stop the fallacies and running around without responding the valid questions we've made. Your relentlessness is only showing you would do the exact thing again. --Bedivere (talk) 21:02, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
You just keep shouting "scope" over and over. Here we go again: "A media file that is in use on one of the other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation is considered automatically to be useful for an educational purpose ... It should be stressed that Commons does not overrule other projects about what is in scope. If an image is in use on another project (aside from use on talk pages or user pages), that is enough for it to be within scope." There is no rule demanding deletion if you also create the Wikidata entry. As I now point out for probably the fifth time: If this rule is a real rule, then we must delete every entry in Commons where the uploader also created the Wikidata entry, otherwise it is just selective enforcement of a real rule, or just a pretend rule to be used when you want to veto something you do not like. --RAN (talk) 01:07, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
Here we go again too: "any use that is not made in good faith does not count." Your off-track suggestion on creating a bot to delete files is unrealistic and shows you're missing the point. --Bedivere (talk) 01:42, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
I'd probably be down for creating a bot that deletes any usage that wasn't made in good faith. In a perfect world a lot of this stuff probably could (or should) be more automated. Your just deflecting by acting like this has anything to do with "every entry in Commons where the uploader also created the Wikidata entry" though. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:12, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

French national archives files deleted on 2020-12-15

Given that I found two NOAA files deleted on 2020-12-14 while the NOAA logo was clearly visible, I'm looking at public domain files deleted by mistake around this date. I found a bunch of files that appear to clearly be Template:PD-France given their source (French national archives) and their date (18th/19th century).

One of these files has already been undeleted: File:Billet de congé imprimé de François Noisot - Archives nationales - Y-18724-B.jpg

All these files should be undeleted as well:

Archives Nationales told themselves they were only importing public domain works in the frame of their partnership with Wikimedia France. They just chose the wrong licence, sadly the files were not undeleted yet.

 Oppose I agree that the PDM was used by the photographer and therefore the images are all PD. However, it appears that many of them are images of the church Saint-Pierre-de-Chaillot, which was built in the 1930s. It and all of its details have at least a URAA copyright, and both its paintings and its sculpture have French copyrights as well.

File:Stema e Komunës Mitrovicë e Veriut.svg

While yes, it is only used by Serbian parallel institutions, at the exact same time, it's used by Serbian parallel institutions. That means that it still falls in the scope. All it needs is a renaming to something like "Coat of Arms of Kosovska Mitrovica". Using a non-exact Google Images search, we find that it is somewhat similar to certain other pieces of Serbian heraldry. Using an exact Google Images search this time, most sources that isn't Wikipedia, Reddit or CRW, are Serbian. So we can assume that the coat of arms has been recognised by Serbians, that it is the real one. It seems that this place got the image that you got, was from kosmitrovica.rs. That seems to be a thing that claims to be the government of Mitrovica. This definitely falls in the scope of Wikicommons. This counts. (Assuming my research and reasoning isn't horribly flawed.) Kxeon (talk) 17:13, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

It is irrelevant if the Serbian government recognises this organisation if it is not under Serbian government administration. Serbian copyright law is irrelevant for us here. In order to consider this image to be PD in US it must be either (1) an official symbol of a US-recognized authority [US recognize Kosovo administration here], or (2) be pre-2008 [so we could apply Serbian law here, but we need an evidence]. Ankry (talk) 12:44, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Alrighty. I sent a email to them asking if their coat of arms was made before or after Kosovar independence. There doesn't seem to be much I can really do other than this. All I can really do now if wait and hope that they respond. Аctually wait, I searched up "Грб Косовска Митровица" and got a result from ResearchGate. It implies that it was made in 2011. If the municipality actually gets back to my email and responds to confirm, then we may be able to use that as a even more reliable source for confirming this date. For now though, we can assume it's from 2011 and thus under Kosovo copyright. Kxeon (talk) 15:26, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
@Kxeon: This cannot fall under Kosovo-PD, It was never adopted officially as required per law on local self-government in Kosovo => https://mapl.rks-gov.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Law-On-Local-Self-Government.pdf Article 7 Symbols 7.3 "The symbols of a Municipality shall be approved and changed by the municipal assembly pursuant to the constitutional and legal provisions of Republic of Kosova and shall not resemble to symbols of other states or municipalities within or outside Republic of Kosova".

File:If You Can See Light At The End Of The Tunnel You Might Be Going The Wrong Way (136378299).jpeg

Not a duplicate, it has a different license. CC 3.0 licenses are more forgiving/flexible when it comes to attribution and better written than the old 2.0 licenses. The 3.0 license however is probably the more restrictive BY-SA whereas the 2.0 license is BY, so neither license is superior.
If the image is 100% identical perhaps it's possible to add both sources and licenses on a single file.

Ankry, if the images are 100% identical (which I can't see now) and we go that route, true. However, someone who can see deleted content would be needed to obtain the source link from the deleted file page.

Here is the source of the deleted image: (link) --Sreejith K (talk) 21:19, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, but they are not the same.

4 647 × 3 200 pixels is under cc-by 2.0 and 2048 x 1410 pixels cc-by-sa 3.0; many people here are nitpicked when deleting things; I will apply the same standards.

File:If You Can See Light At The End Of The Tunnel You Might Be Going The Wrong Way (136378299).jpeg should not be put as cc-by 2.0, as the author didn't select as this; analogously, the 4 647 × 3 200 version can not receive the cc-by-sa 3.0.

The deletion was a mistake, and the file should be restored. -- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 00:59, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

They are the same image -- the size difference doesn't affect the licensing, so the fact is that both versions are licensed under both licenses. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:51, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: Jim is correct, the license applies to all sizes of the photograph. I've added the source of the deleted one to the file, and I've added the cc-by-sa 3.0 to the file so now reusers can choose which license they want. --Abzeronow (talk) 17:35, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:KeineTrennungZwischenIslamUndIslamismus.png

File was a Screenshot from German TV of a YouTube Video that is online from a discuss in Michael Stürzenberger. It is public domain and thus not a copyright infringement, which does not exist for content in Public Domain within the jurisdiction of the Federal Republic of Germany. Especially not from our broadcasters that we pay for (GEZ-Gebühren). Please undo the deletion, as this is for historical and public purposes, not to sell or earn money with it. The Public Interest weights out all other interests. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Staatsfunk1337 (talk • contribs) 18:42, 5 June 2024‎ (UTC)

 Oppose The content broadcasted by the German public television stations is not in the German public domain. You can check for example the T&C from ZDF[6] »Die Inhalte der ZDF-Online-Angebote sind urheberrechtlich geschützt«. Also, the "public interest" doesn't weight out the licensing policy of Commons. Günther Frager (talk) 18:55, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
First of all, if it would be the case, the ÖR (Media) would have striked the YouTube Video, but it is still online. So it is permitted for that use-case. Everything that is produced in Germany is under "Urheberrecht", so it does not mean anything whether it is applicable for our use-case or not. We are allowed to use it as private person for non-profit purposes (Q1). For the public interest cases, we can still use it, please consult § 5 UrhG (Q2). The politician and extremist is a disputed man, thus he's of public interest. For addressing security and public interest needs, we are absolutely allowed to take screenshots of his saying. Furthermore we can argue that Wikipedia fulfill archive and educational purposes (see Q3). Also, we have paid for the content, does not matter what the public broadcasters are writing below it, (if we are strict) we have legal access to their materials, including public usage rights for non-commercial use-cases.
Additional legal complaint:
"licensing policy of Commons", wild deleting for legally invalid reasons does violate the German law for German users. The German law is above any policy which you could set up. Refer to the constitution (or basic law). For example, especially the Art. 5 Para 1,3 GG. The deletion violates my constitutional rights to present those facts to the public, which were essential in the discussion tab where they were used.
Q1: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/urhg/__53.html
Q2: https://www.ipwiki.de/urheberrecht:amtliche_werke
Q3: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/urhg/__60a.html Staatsfunk1337 (talk) 20:44, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
also it is disputable whether a screenshot is part of the original work AND whether it can reasonably justify a "copy of the whole work" flagging (a copy right violation in legal terms or Urheberrecht infringement). Another solution would be to cover the Logo of the source (brand) that would not infringe the copyright (at all) actually Staatsfunk1337 (talk) 20:48, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
You are talking nonsense on several levels. There is no German law that forces a private party to host media that a random user from the Internet wants to. Commons can decide what to host provided it is not hosting any ilegal content, and that choice is reflected in Commons' licensing and the scope policies. These images may fulfill Common's scope policy, but they don't fulfill Commons' licensing policy. You, as a German citizen, can set up your own server and host these images and you probably won't be prosecuted. That is basically what the German law grants you.

Quote from Wiki:
> Fair use is a doctrine in United States law that permits limited use of copyrighted material without having to first acquire permission from the copyright holder. Fair use is one of the limitations to copyright intended to balance the interests of copyright holders with the public interest in the wider distribution and use of creative works by allowing as a defense to copyright infringement claims certain limited uses that might otherwise be considered infringement. Staatsfunk1337 (talk) 20:56, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Fair use is allowed when claiming a "Exemption Doctrine Policy (EDP)"
"A project-specific policy, in accordance with United States law and the law of countries where the project content is predominantly accessed (if any), that recognizes the limitations of copyright law (including case law) as applicable to the project, and permits the upload of copyrighted materials that can be legally used in the context of the project, regardless of their licensing status.

File:Kumbalath sanku pillai.png

Dear Wikipedia Administrators,

I am writing to request the undeletion of the image/file titled "[File:Kumbalath sanku pillai.png]" which was previously deleted due to a claim of copyright violation. The image in question is a photograph of the social reformer Kumbalathu Sanku Pillai, and it is crucial for illustrating his Wikipedia article accurately.

The reason for the deletion was that the original uploader mistakenly claimed copyright status over the image. However, I would like to clarify that this image is unique and cannot be found elsewhere. It is the only available photograph of Kumbalathu Sanku Pillai, and its historical significance warrants its inclusion on Wikipedia.

Furthermore, as there are no alternative images available to depict Kumbalathu Sanku Pillai, the absence of this photograph severely impacts the comprehensiveness and accuracy of his Wikipedia article.

I kindly request that the image be restored to its original location on Wikipedia, or alternatively, if there are any necessary steps I should take to rectify this issue, please advise me accordingly.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sukumar.v.nair (talk • contribs) 06:18, 6 June 2024‎ (UTC)

On 2017031210011731 number ticket you can read his confirmation that his photos on Fortepan were provided by him under a Cc-by-sa free license. So the file is free to use. thank you! Translated with DeepL.com ) Hungarikusz Firkász (talk) 08:24, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

@Hungarikusz Firkász: No, we can't. A VRT agent can. If a VRT agent confirms here that this permission covers the mentioned photo, we can go on. It is unclear to me if the permission covers (and even if it can legally cover) future uploads. Ankry (talk) 13:48, 15 April 2024 (UTC)


Ankry. so hundreds of Fortepan images may be up because their site says they are available under a Cc-by-sa licence, when in many cases they have been found to be there in an infringing way.

But! The images cannot be up if the author has confirmed that he/she has licensed them to Fortepan under a Cc-by-sa license, and we have a letter to that effect in VRT.

So why don't you delete all the Tamás Urbán images that come from Fortepan? Why just this one? Where and from where does the ticket apply to the images? Since when does it not apply to them? Where and from when is it possible to upload a picture of Tamás Urbán from Fortepan and from when is it not?

You can sense the strong contradiction in this, can't you?

I know what the letter contains, when we received it I was still the operator. The content of the letter has not changed because I am no longer an operator. The letter confirms that the author, Tamás Urbán, is the one who gave Fortepan his images under a Cc-by-sa licence. ( Translated with DeepL.com ) Hungarikusz Firkász (talk) 14:01, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

At the very least, does not seem like this should have been speedied. Agreed that a VRT agent would be the only one who could confirm, but seems like it should not be deleted until that question is answered. If VRT permission was supplied, then the uploader did enough. A regular user being unable to read a VRT ticket is not grounds for deletion. Carl Lindberg (talk) 14:08, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
(Edit conflict) @Hungarikusz Firkász: The problem is that administrators are not able to verify what is inside the ticket. We rely in this matter on VRT volunteers who make UDR requests if they need and add the appropriate ticket numbers to the images if this is needed. In this case, no ticket was added and I see no verifiable information on your homepage that you are a VRT volunteer. Also, maybe, we need a specific Fortepan template containing the ticket number for this author? But this page is not a venue to discuss it.
We are not talking about any other image, just about this one.
BTW1, the link to the image is [8].
BTW2, pinging users involved in the deletion: @Didym and Krd: It is standard to do so.
BTW3, I do not oppose undeletion; just pointing out that referring to a VRT ticket requires to involve a VRT volunteer. Ankry (talk) 14:28, 15 April 2024 (UTC)


Ankry, You don't seem to understand the situation.

In addition to this file, there are hundreds of Fortepan images and dozens of Fortepan images by Tamás Urbán uploaded.

For the hundreds or dozens of images, why are these conditions not expected? Why is this one?

Why is the ticket accepted for the templated images? Why not for this one? The same content of the letter applies in the same way to images of Tamás Urbán uploaded to Fortepan and taken from there.

For the hundreds or dozens of images that do not have a VRT template, but are Fortepan images and were taken by Tamás Urbán, neither VRT nor operators are required. Why? Why only for this one image?

Do you see why I see a very strong contradiction here?

Translated with DeepL.com Hungarikusz Firkász (talk) 14:36, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Anyway, I think all that happened was that the uploader accidentally put out a Cc-by-sa 4.0 license instead of Cc-by-sa 3.0. It would have been enough to put the correct template instead of the wrong one. Translated with DeepL.com Hungarikusz Firkász (talk) 14:39, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

@Hungarikusz Firkász: No. I understand. I do not think that any other image should be deleted and I do not know if this one should: that is why I think that the deleting users should be pinged and given time to answer (maybe thay made a mistake, maybe they have seen a reason that we do not see). The question why are these conditions not expected? Why is this one? should be directed to the deleting admins, not here. Here we do not know.
In my comments above I am referring strictly to your request and a VRT ticket reference in it: you suggested that a VRT ticket contains important information concerning licensing of this image - in such cases this ticket should be added to the description page (either by a VRT volunteer who verify that, or - as I suggested above - through creation of a specific template - if it is general permission ticket, referring to multiple files). If the ticket is irrelevant, just forget all my comments above. My intention was to point you, that referring to a VRT ticket as an undeletion argument by a non-VRT-member is pointless. Only that. Ankry (talk) 15:01, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
@Ankry: We could undelete until a VRT response is gotten, or at least convert to a regular DR. If there is a significant question like this, it probably was not an "obvious" deletion. Seems like somebody marked it "no permission" and an admin just processed it, but that initial tagging was maybe not appropriate given there was a stated license from Fortepan. The guidance at Category:Images from Fortepan does say that images do need to be checked, so agreed there should be a VRT or a specialized template on the images, or a specific category of them, eventually.

Although I'm a bit puzzled by Ruthven's closing comment, "Kept: per Samat and Krd + discussion." But Krd was saying that the ticket was invalid. @Krd, do you remember why you thought that the ticket was invalid? -- Asclepias (talk) 18:15, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Probably why the images associated with the ticket were originally marked for deletion by Jcb: "It does e.g. not contain a specific license. It's not really clear to which files the ticket is supposed to apply, but it is stated that they are the author of only a part of the pictures."
Of course it doesn't contain a specific license, since it was just a request to have an answer from the author as to whether he really allowed Fortepan to publish his photos under the Cc-by-sa license. That is what happened in this correspondence. That correspondence is effectively a conviction as to whether Tamás Urbán's images are legally on Fortepan. So it is effectively not a license to the Commons or Wikipedia.
So it is strange that without any follow up we allow images to be posted from Fortepan (in more than one case it turned out that they are also illegal there, e.g. photos of József Hunyady), but for those images, there is a dispute going on for several days and several rounds, where we have received confirmation from the author that he gave his images under a free license to Fortepan, so their use is legitimate there, as well as here.
By the way, it's also strange that Tamás Urbán has the 2017031210011731 template exposed on many of his pictures and not on many of his pictures. Nevertheless, all of them are from Fortepan, but of all the uploads with no template and with templates, only this image caught the eye of the flag for deletion, and it was suddenly deleted.
Either we declare that the images from Fortepan are illegal and the confirmation letter is not valid, and then delete all the images from Fortepan, or we finally accept that there are images on Fortepan that are illegal and have been transferred to Commons, but that Tamás Urbán's images are not part of them, and leave them alone!

  •  Support I think that no more investigation is needed on this case and that this request could be closed as done. Although the user who nominated the file for deletion did not respond to the ping to explain why they nominated it, now that the file is undeleted and its history can be seen, it can be reasonably guessed that the reason was merely because the uploader had indicated only a general link to the source website but had unfortunately neglected to add a precise link to the specific image on that source website. That has now been fixed by another user who added the precise source link that was previously missing. Nothing more should be needed. The start of this discussion, when the file was still deleted, and the absence of explanation from the deletion nominator, might have given the wrong impression that the ticket was somehow necessary or that it was somehow challenged, and that for some reason we would have to wait for a Hungarian-speaking VRT member to magically appear here and officially repeat one more time the same thing that has already been said multiple times by several Hungarian-speaking users who are familiar with the issue. (In short, the ticket is Tamás Urbán telling that he sent his photos to Fortepan and that all is fine.) But it seems to me that the ticket was not even disputed. The CC BY-SA 3.0 license at Fortepan is not challenged either. Also, as explained in Commons:Deletion requests/Files found with 2017031210011731, the ticket is probably not even necessary on the pages of the files. It's like if someone doubts the legitimacy of a flickr account and then the author confirms to VRT that the account is legitimate. It is useful to reference that ticket somewhere, e.g. on the talk page of the Commons category for the photographs by this author, but it doesn't need to be placed on each of the thousands of files copied from that account. If for some reason someone decides that they want to challenge the ticket, they can start a discussion at C:VRT/Noticeboard or at C:Village pump/Copyright or start a deletion request, but, IMHO, C:Undeletion requests would not be the place. -- Asclepias (talk) 19:46, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Philips MASTER LED

Dear Sirs,

The file: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Philips_MASTER_LED_2.3W_830-827_E14-E27_lamp_candles,_lusters_%26_bulbs.pdf is my own work and not a Philips publication, otherwise I wouldn't have published it on Wikimedia Commons.

I have used only non-copyrighted images, as all Philips depictions of light bulbs appear to be. For example:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=philips+LED+light&atb=v383-1&iar=images&iaf=license%3AAny&iax=images&ia=images&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.any-lamp.com%2Fmedia%2Fcatalog%2Fcategory%2FPhilips_LED_Lamp_E14_1.jpg

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Derivative_works#Isn't_every_product_copyrighted_by_someone?_What_about_cars?_Or_kitchen_chairs?_My_computer_case?

[...] Instead of copyright protection, utilitarian objects are generally protected by design patents, which, depending on jurisdiction, may limit commercial use of depictions. However, patents and copyright are separate areas of law, and works uploaded to Commons are only required to be free with respect to copyright. Therefore, patents of this kind are not a matter of concern for Commons. [...]

Thank you for your understanding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elena Regina (talk • contribs) 07:05, 5 June 2024‎ (UTC)

 Oppose While bulbs themselves are not protected by copyright, photos of the bulbs, pictures of the bulbs and graphs presenting bulbs technical data are. So unless you made all images yourself (using real bulbs and/or numeric data; we would need an evidence of that) you are not the only author/copyright holder of the PDF file and we need a free license permission also from the authors of the works that your PDF is a derivative work of.

Please undelete File:Asia Carrera law school graduation day selfie.jpg

It is a SELFIE I took of MYSELF at MY graduation. No rights are owed to anyone but me, and I give full permission to Wikipedia to use it.

I uploaded the pic through the Commons Upload Wizard, and released licensing rights for public use as well.

This image was uploaded a week after File:A selfie Asia Carrera took on her graduation day from Law School, May 18, 2024.jpg, also uploaded by JessicaSteinhauser, was deleted as copyvio. The link was to Reedit and it is now deleted, but Google cache suggests they were the same picture. Also, on the response to the copyvio request the userreplied that she also uploaded it to a message board (Reddit?) and to Facebook, see diff. Günther Frager (talk) 02:26, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for the info. So, in her enthusiam, the person posted her selfie almost simultaneously to Commons and, a few minutes later or earlier, to Reddit. (Unfortunately, Reddit does not seem to indicate the exact time of day as Wikimedia does.) The doubt, if there is one, would be based on the hypothesis that the photo would have been posted first to Reddit and then the uploader immediately stole it from there and copied it to Commons. But then, from whom would an email be expected? VRT is useful if it provides information coming from the source which might have been illicitly copied by the uploader. In this case Reddit. The Reddit account is apparently this. So, an email would need to come verifiably from that Reddit account. Is that possible? Or someone could ask the uploader to post something to the Reddit account to prove that it is her account. But that's much trouble for what was essentially a simultaneous publication of a selfie that is almost certainly legitimate. Sometimes, it may be better to just assume good faith. -- Asclepias (talk) 05:53, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

The file did have a {{self|cc-by-4.0}} tag.

File:Reperti archeologici S. Ginesio - Elmo di San Ginesio 01.jpg

This file, a photograph of a bronze age helmet, was deleted by User:Jameslwoodward as a copyright-based restriction, but as I read the BCS license it is a non-copyright restriction, not a copyright-based one. I believe the image is allowable, though it may need a caution about possible limitations on reuse, such as {{Italy-MiBAC-disclaimer}} or {{Greek-antiquities-disclaimer}}. In discussing this with Jameslwoodward, he suggested there may be nuances in the BCS license that would benefit from review by a native Italian speaker. —Tcr25 (talk) 17:30, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

I read the BCS as a restricted copyright license. If it is not a copyright license, then we have no license at all for the use of the photograph. As Tcr25 says, I agree that there may be subtleties here that I don't understand..     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:11, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

@Ruthven: @Friniate: for their Italian language skills and Italian copyright expertise. Abzeronow (talk) 18:13, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
Indeed, in 5.2 they state that BCS is not a license : "Beni Culturali Standard (BCS) : Questa etichetta non è una “licenza” bensì si limita a sintetizzare il contenuto delle norme vigenti in materia di riproduzione di beni culturali pubblici, definendone i termini d’uso legittimo." -- Asclepias (talk) 19:30, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
Asclepias, OK, but if isn't a license, then how do we keep the photograph? It's clearly a modern photograph of a 3D object, so we need a license in order to keep it. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:07, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
With the file deleted, it's hard to know what other info was provided by the uploader. Is it a picture taken by the uploader? Is it from a museum? {{PD-art}} wouldn't apply since it isn't a 2D object, but does another valid license cover a photo of an ancient 3D object? —Tcr25 (talk) 23:04, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
@Tcr25: source is https://catalogo.beniculturali.it/detail/ArchaeologicalProperty/1100094920#lg=1&slide=1 Abzeronow (talk) 23:12, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
I keep coming back to the BCS algins with NoC-OKLR 1.0 (No Copyright - Other Known Legal Restrictions). It doesn't appear that there is any assertion of copyright over the photo itself; the Catalogo generaledei Beni Culturali's terms and conditions mentions CC by 4.0 and the need to comply with BCS. (There is a mention of Law No. 633, but there's no indication of who the photographer is, implying that it is the property of the stated museum. If the "Data di Compilazione" (1999) is the date the image was created, then the museum's 20-year copyright would have expired, leaving just the non-copyright restriction in play. —Tcr25 (talk) 03:10, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
@Jameslwoodward: Your conclusion seems correct. But I am not an Italian speaker either. The whole long document should be read in its entirety. -- Asclepias (talk) 23:47, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
I agree with Tcr25 on the reading of the BCS license. The link to the NoC-OLKR statement contained in the BCS license is broken, but we can read it here (english version here), and it begins with Use of this item is not restricted by copyright and/or related rights. So it seems to me that the BCS license is a non-copyright restriction, since in the text of the BCS license is said that it complies to the NoC-OLKR. Adding the {{Italy-MiBAC-disclaimer}} should be sufficient for what regards the copyright on the object.
I'm much less sure about the copyright on the photo though. The terms and conditions mention indeed CC-BY-SA 4.0 (actually that is something that is valid for the entirety of the Italian Public Administration) but they also contain a specific exception for the photos, for which is clearly said that is necessary to obtain an authorization from the owner of the object (in this case the Soprintendenza Archeologica delle Marche), which will concede it with the same conditions that are applied for the photos of the object taken by other people (these). You can try to obtain an authorization from the Soprintendenza, asking if you can use these images with the Mibac-disclaimer, they may agree. Friniate (talk) 11:57, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
Oh, I forgot to address the issue of the date of compilation. Yeah, it seems likely also to me that the photo was taken in the same occasion, but it's not clearly stated either... Friniate (talk) 12:04, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi all, I actually nominated the file for deletion because of the NoC-OLKR statement (something close to {{Italy-MiBAC-disclaimer}}). But, if it is just a request, and not a copyright statement (in fact, in the very same page it is written that BCS applies to public domain artworks), we should consider the file/photograph as published under CC BY 4.0 license, like the whole website [9]. --Ruthven (msg) 12:22, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
The general terms of use (which mention the CC license) begin right at the start with the familiar statement that it applies only "Dove non diversamente specificato", i.e. "Where not otherwise specified". The specific terms of use of this photograph clearly do specifiy otherwise with the BCS. -- Asclepias (talk) 12:41, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
And that's the Catch-22, the BCS says it's not a license, but if it isn't a license then the default license seems to be CC by 4.0 albeit with BCS as a non-copyright limitation on use. —Tcr25 (talk) 13:12, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
The CC license is excluded by the specific terms of use statement. Not every work is under a license or another. (And if a work was not copyrighted anywhere, it could not be licensed.) If the BCS tag means that the image is not copyrighted in Italy, either because this type of image is uncopyrightable under Italian law or because a 20-year copyright has expired in Italy, the question for Commons is if and how could that unlicensed image be used in the United States? A photo published after February 1989 is directly copyrighted in the U.S. (If the URAA is added, the photo would need to be from before 1976.) -- Asclepias (talk) 14:05, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
"And if a work was not copyrighted anywhere, it could not be licensed" but that's part of the issue. The Italian cultural law, as I understand it, specifically looks to allow monetization through licensing of cultural artifacts that are no longer covered by copyright. It's not that a specific photograph requires a license, but any photograph of a cultural artifact would require a license. There is a current court case regarding the validity of this rule involving a German puzzle maker and Da Vinci's Uomo Vitruviano. Under Commons:NCR, "non-copyright related restrictions are not considered relevant to the freedom requirements of Commons or by Wikimedia." I'm not sure where the right line is here, but I don't think that we can say there is a clear copyright-based reason to exclude the image. If the image, like other parts of the website is CC-by-4.0 with the BCS limitation, wouldn't that be the baseline for the copyright status, not an unasserted U.S. copyright? —Tcr25 (talk) 15:56, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
  • One thing is certain, it is that the image is not under CC BY 4.0. The photo might be in the public domain or it might be non-free, but it is not CC BY 4.0 because CC BY 4.0 is explicitly excluded by the website for such photos.
  • The nature of the BCS statement has some similarities with a "Public Domain Mark" (PDM) statement, plus non copyright restrictions. Commons accepts that the PDM can be considered as an equivalent of a release to the public domain by the copyright owner, if the PDM is issued by the copyright owner and if it is clear that the intention is to release the work in the public domain.
  • The problem with the source website Catalogo generale dei Beni Culturali is that it does not specify the initial origins of the photos, the photographers and who owns, or owned, the copyrights, including copyrights in countries other than Italy. The photos were possibly made for the respective museums. Depending on the contracts, the copyrights may have been owned by the photographers, the museums, or someone else. It is unclear how the BCS statement in the Catalogo can be interpreted. A possible meaning is something like "this photo is old enough to be in the public domain in Italy". But without details, it is not much use for Commons. If the ministry of Culture was not the owner of the copyright, the BCS cannot be interpreted as a release to the public domain by the copyright owner.
  • However, if we assumed that the ministry of Culture had somehow acquired the copyrights, we could consider the BCS as a release in the public domain worldwide. It is tempting to do so and to say that if they don't give details it's their problem. It is not very solid, but I would not object to that interpretation if there is a consensus for it. -- Asclepias (talk) 14:07, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
    @Asclepias here it's said that the entity which classified the object (and almost surely made also the photo) was the "Soprintendenza Archeologia delle Marche", which, although local, is part of the state administration. Here we can have more informations: we learn that the card was drafted by D. De Angelis for Consorzio Skeda under the supervision of G. Baldelli, likely an employee of the ministry.
    But I agree with you that the whole claim remains not very solid. Friniate (talk) 20:59, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
If you think that it is safe to assume that one organism (e.g. a regional Soprintendenza) of the Italian governement was the owner of the copyright on a work, then if another organism (the ministry of Culture) of the same government marks that work with a BCS statement, and if there is no contradictory evidence and no stated copyright restriction, it may not be unreasonable to consider the public domain aspect of that BCS statement as applicable worldwide and equivalent to a release in the public domain in countries where copyright might otherwise have subsisted. At least, they would be in a bad position to complain that readers interpreted it that way. -- Asclepias (talk) 15:38, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
Well, I'd like at least to know which was the contract between Consorzio Skeda (which is, as we can read here, a private company) and the Soprintendenza. The Soprintendenza probably supervised the process, but I think that we would need more informations in order to say that it's safe to assume that we can use the photo under US law. Friniate (talk) 19:31, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
@Friniate: There is no question about the free nature of the object. The question is indeed about the nature of the photo. -- Asclepias (talk) 12:29, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
@Asclepias Similar limitations as the BCS apply to all photos of objects classified as italian cultural heritage, also if you go to the museum and take one, for example. That is the reason why the Template:Italy-MiBAC-disclaimer is embedded within all the photos taken within WLM Italy. Friniate (talk) 16:22, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
Yes, such photos taken by Commons contributors are not a problem because contributors necessarily release them under free licenses. Such photos by Wikimedia Commons contributors are even mentioned in section 2.4.1 of the Linee guida per l’acquisizione, la circolazione e il riuso delle riproduzioni dei beni culturali in ambiente digitale. But the photo in discussion, File:Reperti archeologici S. Ginesio - Elmo di San Ginesio 01.jpg, is not a licensed photo by a Commons contributor, but an unlicensed photo from an external site. The problem for Commons is not the Italian BC directive. It is the absence of license and the U.S. copyright. -- Asclepias (talk) 16:59, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
I just wanted to make things clear, since if the BCS license is interpreted as a copyright restriction, that would mean the deletion of all the photos on almost every italian cultural object.I let other people more expert than me in the US copyright judge if according to the US law the image is ok or not. Friniate (talk) 17:04, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Again, the very simple question: If the BCS is a copyright license then it is an NC license and not acceptable here. If it is not a copyright license, then we have no license for this photograph. I doubt very much that it is PD-Old, so on what basis can we keep it on Commons?

Also, statements such as "that would mean the deletion of all the photos on almost every italian cultural object." are not helpful. If we determine that this image is unlicensed then it cannot be kept. If we have many similar images that must also be deleted, so be it. We do not make decisions on copyright issues by talking about how many images will be deleted if we decide against keeping this one. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:59, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

I was not implying that we should keep the image for what you are saying, I only said that if commons deems as unacceptable hosting objects covered by non copyright restrictions as the BCS or the Codice Urbani, that means deleting the photos of almost all italian cultural objects. It's a fact, not an opinion, everyone can decide what to do with this fact. By the way, I was not even saying that in order to argue for undeleting this image. Friniate (talk) 21:12, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
Per COM:GVT Italy, According to article 52, paragraph 2 of the Digital Administration Code, data and documents published by Italian public administrations without any explicit license are considered "open by default" (with exception of personal data). In this case, data and documents without explicit license can be used for free, also for commercial purpose, like CC-BY license or with attribution. Since the photo is a work of the Soprintendenza Archeologia delle Marche, the COM:GVT Italy statement would seem to apply. If the BCS considered a copyright restriction, despite its language, then this does become a wider problem, as Friniate noted. Regardless of the decision around this specific image, I think there needs to be broader consideration of how the BCS limitation is considered/handled. Also, this discussion, once it's closed, should probably be attached to Commons:Deletion requests/File:Reperti archeologici S. Ginesio - Elmo di San Ginesio 01.jpg to update/expand the deletion rationale. —Tcr25 (talk) 13:38, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
On this matter we have finally a verdict on the lawsuit of the Italian Ministry against Ravensburger for the usage of images of the en:Vitruvian Man, which has clarified that restrictions as the Codice Urbani or the BCS are non-copyright restrictions which can not be applied outside Italy. Friniate (talk) 14:39, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
Again (third time) -- if the BCS is not a copyright license, then we have no license for the photograph. Apparently it is not a copyright license. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:51, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
So how do you parse the COM:GVT Italy statement that such images can be used without an explicit license? —Tcr25 (talk) 17:23, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
The reference for that part of the page is a broken link. -- Asclepias (talk) 14:16, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
Here's a Wayback machine link for that reference: [10] I believe the pertinent part is on page 84: "In conclusione, ai sensi dell’art. 52 del CAD, la mancata indicazione di una licenza associata ai dati già pubblicati implica che gli stessi si ritengano di tipo aperto secondo le caratteristiche principali sancite dall’art. 68 del CAD, già richiamato nell’introduzione delle presenti linee guida (principio dell’Open Data by default)." The guidelines were updated in 2017 [11] and the executive summary seems to be stepping back from that broad statement, but I don't trust my Italian enough to understand the full thinking. —Tcr25 (talk) 19:06, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

A brave administrator will have to decide this difficult case one way or another. For consistency, the case also has the potential to impact many other files. A possibility can be this: Unless there is reason to believe otherwise, when a photograph is tagged by an organism of the Italian government with the tag "Beni Culturali Standard" (BCS), it is assumed that the organism has the legal right to make the public domain statement included in the BCS tag and that the public domain statement is meant to apply worldwide (i.e. equivalent to a release in the public domain by the copyright owner, if necessary), while the non-copyright restriction also included in the BCS tag does not prevent the hosting on Commons. It could be expressed, as the case may be, by the use of existing templates, such as "PD-copyright holder" plus "Italy-MiBAC-disclaimer", (or PD-Italy when clearly applicable), or by the creation of a new template specific for the BCS tag. Another possibility can be to decide that such photos cannot be hosted on Commons because of the precautionary principle. -- Asclepias (talk) 13:40, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

What was the original copyright tag for it in the United States and was or is it assumed to be valid? (I assume CC-BY-SA 4.0 but it doesn't seem clear from the conversation if the license actually applies or not). --Adamant1 (talk) 02:54, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

This request has been open for 48 days. The topic did not attract comments on the Village Pump/Copyright. In the broader context, in which this file is one among many, the easier solution would probably be to undelete this file, instead of launching a massive investigation to delete other files. It would be better if the ministry was explicit about why the images are in the public domain. In short, do they know what they're doing? But maybe we were too cautious. After all, people can hardly be said at fault for believing the statement when the file is explicitly tagged copyright-free at the official website of the ministry of Culture. Must we assume that their statement might be wrong unless we corroborate it? Must we investigate each image that they state copyright-free? It's good to do more research when possible, but it may be acceptable to assume that their statements are correct unless proven incorrect. If this file is kept, the remaining question, which applies to other similar files, is what status tag can be used on Commons, in such cases where we're not sure what reason explains the BCS statement. The files could probably be tagged for what they are, with a template for the BCS statement. I suggested this possibility for a possible "Template:BCS". Maybe someone who is good at creating templates can do something with it. -- Asclepias (talk) 23:02, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

@Asclepias We have already Template:Italy-MiBAC-disclaimer, that I'd say covers the issue pretty much. Friniate (talk) 23:20, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
@Friniate: "Template:Italy-MiBAC-disclaimer" adresses only the non-copyright restriction, it does not address at all the copyright status of the files. The purpose of the first part of "Template:BCS" is to address the copyright-free aspect of the BCS statement. As you can see in my draft suggestion, "Template:BCS" would include integrally "Template:Italy-MiBAC-disclaimer" as its second part. -- Asclepias (talk) 23:49, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
@Asclepias Ah, my bad, I had misunderstood sorry. Friniate (talk) 00:10, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
This (allowing the image with a BCS template caution) is the solution that makes the most sense to me. The sandboxed template looks good to me too. —Tcr25 (talk) 12:43, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
I'd still like to know what license would be valid in the United States for these files since a BCS template caution wouldn't work on it's own because we need both. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:17, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
It would be the BCS statement "No copyright" for the United States as well. The official BCS statement explicitly links to the "No copyright-OKLR" statement of the International Rights Statements, designed by cultural institutions of the United States and Europe for international use. To schematize: [BCS] = ["No copyright" but "MiBAC non-copyright restriction"], which in standardized terms is [NoC-OKLR] = ["No copyright" but "other known legal restrictions"]. We prefer an explicit public domain rationale when possible, but Commons accepts, as valid tags, the statements of "No known copyright" by various institutions. As mentioned in the documentation of the International Rights Statements, a statement telling that there is "No copyright" is even stronger than a statement telling that there is "No known copyright". In principle, unless specified otherwise, an institution that issues a "No copyright" statement that explicitly refers to the standardized rights statements can be expected to mean "No copyright" including in the United States. -- Asclepias (talk) 02:21, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
Just to be clear: although a possible creation of a specific template for BCS could be useful in the future for many such files hosted on Commons, that is not necessary right now for a decision about the undeletion or not of this particular file. If the file is undeleted, the existing templates such as PD-because + MiBAC can do. -- Asclepias (talk) 17:22, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

✓ Done: as per Asclepias. @Tcr25: Please add the necessary templates. --Yann (talk) 18:36, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Images of Colonia Rosa Maltoni Mussolini

Hi everyone, I'm writing in order to ask for the undeletion of the following images:

All these images were deleted after this DR in 2013. They all depict the it:Colonia Rosa Maltoni Mussolini, a summer camp built for the children of the railway and postal workers, commissioned by the Ministry for Communications to en:Angiolo Mazzoni (see here and here for more informations), who, as already pointed out in three previous UDRs (see here, here and here) at that time was chief engineer at that Ministry. It was therefore a work for hire for the national Ministry, and since the works were finished in 1935, it fell under Template:PD-ItalyGov at least since 1956. It is a building built before 1990, so no issue with US copyright.--Friniate (talk) 13:29, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

@Andrijko Z.: The problem (as I see it) was that you apparently used some blank map of Russia for your file and did not say which map that was. Maps are generally copyrighted. There are some maps under free licenses which are acceptable for Commons, so if you used one of those, the file is fine for Wikimedia Commons. If you used a map which is not under a free license however, the map is not ok for Wikimedia Commons. Which map did you use? --Rosenzweig τ 22:34, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
@Rosenzweig I think it was this one. I used the same for other maps of regions, "cutting" them out of it. I added it as a primary source in my other maps. Thank you!--Andrijko Z. (talk) 23:27, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

ARBITRARY DELETION OF MARINESE (SEALANDIC) HERALDRY

Arbitrary target towards my contributions on heraldry of planned municipalities to be created by your majesty Prince Michael I of Sealand, as well as the non-official coat of arms of Fort Roughs (the country's current capital city). All of the files were marked as fictional to note that, for now, those files ought to not be taken seriously by someone doing research through Wikimedia Commons, but the flag would be removed once the project your majesty has in place would eventually start. I therefore politely ask for the undeletion of said files, as the only reason provided for their deletion is in fact that, for now, they would not be able to be used in any Wikipedia article (obviously).

File:US House 213-0-219 (3V).svg

I originally uploaded this image from Parliament Diagram Tool not realizing that it was an exact replica of the main current image of the US House at the time. So I requested speedy deletion of it and it was redirected to the to the main image. However, the composition of the House is different now and I would like for the image file undeleted because of it. Wei-On Yeo (talk) 00:14, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

File:Jonathan Seagullis.jpg

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: File was in use (on Wikipedia-namespace in The Signpost) on English Wikipedia, and per COM:INUSE "It should be stressed that Commons does not overrule other projects about what is in scope. If an image is in use on another project (aside from use on talk pages or user pages), that is enough for it to be within scope." (my bolding of specific word). Wikipedia namespace is not mentioned to be disqualifying, so the rationale that this was "really out of scope" is entirely untrue, since it is in scope per COM:INUSE. The only rationale to delete the image would be COM:IDENT and I disagree that this would cause such offence.

I don't have great feelings though for keeping this image or not, however I wish to have this discussed more in-depth if this would really be disparaging enough for IDENT, or if Wikipedia namespace should be excluded from INUSE. I just saw the removal from The Signpost article, otherwise I would have participated in the original discussion.

File:GeneralalbertMilloy.jpg

This is an official DOD photo of MG Milloy, taken by JUSPAO. Does this fall under fair use? — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.139.18.129 (talk) 4 June 2024‎ (UTC00:13)

 Oppose Wikimedia Commons does nit accept Fair Use. We need an explicit free license. Ankry (talk) 08:24, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 Support Assuming it really is a DOD photo taken by the Joint United States Public Affairs Office, it should be public domain ({{PD-USGov-Military}}). "Fair use" wouldn't be a consideration. The deletion request looks like the issue was an improper license on the file, which should be a correctable problem assuming a clear source for it is available/provided. —Tcr25 (talk) 12:36, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
{{Temporarily undeleted}} in order to fix the missing license/copyright template. Ankry (talk) 14:22, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Ugh. There's a Facebook ID code on the picture. It looks like the proximate source was likely this post from RC-East Combined Joint Task Force-10, which is an official US Army account. This post on a page memorizing Milloy has a copy of the same photo, which he signed for Rob Street who appears to manage the page. Both of those were posted to Facebook around the time of Milloy's death in 2012; subsequent uploads to Find A Grave and various forums seem to have happened after the image first appeared on Facebook. Given his helmet has two stars on it, this would have most likely been taken in Vietnam around 1970 1968/69 (I can't find the exact date of his promotion to major general, but it seems to have been around 1970 late 1968 by which time he was in the field). It's possible a friend took the image, but an official Army photographer is more likely. —Tcr25 (talk) 19:53, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose This does not look like a formal portrait done by a government photographer -- I think it is at least 50/50 that it was privately made. That's well above the "significant doubt" that is our test. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:45, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Just located a copy of the US Army magazine Danger Forward that has a pencil sketch by an Army staffer that is likely after this image (his perspective is turned slightly but otherwise the expression is quite similar). That Milloy appears to have had copies to share and sign and that it seems to have first appeared on Facebook on an official US Army account, and this pencil sketch seems to push it towards more likely US Army work than not in my mind. —Tcr25 (talk) 14:37, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
I think the pencil sketch is very different from the photo --the collar is different, his eyes are different, and the sketch is, as noted at a different angle. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:23, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
The collar is different, but look at the ear on the left side of the image. The sketcher turned the face partially, but that ear and side of the face are in the same plane as the photograph. —Tcr25 (talk) 02:09, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
Not done, per above. Notice that the photo is said to be from the 1970s and the pencil sketch from 1969. Thuresson (talk) 21:05, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

I created the uploaded file 'Andrew Barclay 0-4-0 Crane Tank Glenfield No.1 at the Statfold Barn Railway.jpg' from my own photograph taken in June 2023.

@Draco2103: What is the educational use of this picture? Yann (talk) 11:12, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
While writing an article about a renowned person, I think it's wise to attach his image as well, so that people see who he is. There are many articles like that on Wikipedia.
Here are a few:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mahatma-Gandhi,_studio,_1931.jpg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Florence_Nightingale_(H_Hering_NPG_x82368).jpg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mother_Teresa_1.jpg
I hope this makes my point clear to you.
Thanks,
Draco213 Draco2103 (talk) 13:02, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose First, the image appears at https://dentaldiagnosticcentre.com/aboutus.php with an explicit copyright notice. Second, I can not find any indication that the subject is notable in the sense required here. This might be reconsidered if and when an article on him is accepted on one of the Wikipedias.

I find the examples given above difficult -- surely you do not think the subject is in a class with the three luminaries you name above.

Also note that it is a violation of Commons rules to reload images that have been deleted. It wastes resources and Admin time. If you do it again you may be blocked from editing here. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:38, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

I'm the producer of the film 'Agathokakological' and I own all the copyrights of the film.

The copyright violation claimed here is from a streaming platform which has copied the contents from our IMDb site - https://www.justwatch.com/in/movie/agathokakological. You'll find the same poster in different social media, that doesn't mean everyone has the copyrights.

The poster is a theatrical release poster and is available in the public domain. This poster can be used freely by anyone for publicity purposes of the film.

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: As a copyrighted image, I requested that the copyright holder release the image under a free license. They accepted, so I directed them to the VRT generator to email the foundation. Multiple weeks passed and the VRT team never verified the image copyright. I emailed the copyr holder back and they never responded after almost another week, so I requested speedy deletion. Turns out, a day after the images were deleted, the copyr holder responded back saying that the generator didn't work. . . since the images were deleted. I need the images back now.

If permission has been received at VRT, the files will be restored. Apparently no email has been received yet. Perhaps someone could confirm? Bedivere (talk) 17:23, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
Perhaps I misspoke somehow? When I directed them to the generator, they never sent the email after multiple weeks.

Good Morning,

I would like to request the photo be undeleted from my wikipedia page and added back on. The photo is of me and I am the owner of said photo. The photo was deleted because its from my IMDB. The photo in questions is IMG_1347.jpg. Please let me know if you need anything else from me.

Is it possible you mean File:Jessica Green IMDB.jpg which is your only contribution to Commons?

Images of works for hire by Carlo Savonuzzi

Hi everyone, I'm writing here in order to ask for the undeletion of File:Alda Costa.jpg, File:Boldini Compound.jpg, File:Ferrara Natural History Museum.jpg, File:Frescobaldi Conservatoire.jpg and File:Frescobaldi Wall.jpg. These buildings were all designed by de:Carlo Savonuzzi, who, as already explained in this previous UDR, between 1926 and 1936 (and then again between 1946 and 1962) was chief engineer at the Municipality of Ferrara (see [15]). His works designed in this capacity are therefore works for hire and fell under Template:PD-ItalyGov 20 years after their construction.

The depicted buildings are: it:Scuola elementare Alda Costa (see here, fell under PD in 1954), de:Complesso Boldini (see here, fell under PD in 1960), de:Museo di Storia Naturale (Ferrara) (see here, fell under PD in 1958) and de:Conservatorio Statale di Musica Girolamo Frescobaldi di Ferrara (see here, it fell under PD in 1960).

Finally there is File:Airforce Palace.jpg, which depicts de:Palazzo dell’Aeronautica (Ferrara), and which is a work by de:Giorgio Gandini (Architekt), whereas Savonuzzi only oversaw the construction process (see here ). Anyway it was too a public work, it was commissioned by Italo Balbo (at that time Chief of the en:Regia Areonautica) and by the Municipality of Ferrara and it fell under PD-ItalyGov in 1960.--Friniate (talk) 18:20, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

@Friniate: please see Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Carlo Savonuzzi and address the issues raised there in this discussion.  — billinghurst sDrewth 22:12, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
@Billinghurst: The files were deleted under a 70pma assumption, though I think our current treatment of Italy FoP is now different. So, that aspect is being addressed in the undeletion reasons above. Carl Lindberg (talk) 01:20, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
@Clindberg: If our general treatment of FoP in Italy has changed, then it is not well reflected at Com:FOP, either holistically or for the exemptions mentioned in this UDR.  — billinghurst sDrewth 03:57, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
@Billinghurst Italy still has no formal FoP exception. It just happened that the law gives lesser protection for buildings as well as artworks made by artists who were commissioned by the Italian government or local governments there. In this case, buildings and monuments are protected under the measly 20-year term – from publication or completion/public display (it is the law of Italy that may be favorable for Wikimedia Italy even if it seems to not fit Berne standards). However, works not commissioned by the government remain protected under 70-year p.m.a., like the Pirelli Tower and the Jubilee Church of Rome. So IMO, there is no need for review. Anyway, the revised COM:FOP Italy already indicates this uniquely-Italian provision for less protection on artworks commissioned by the government. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 04:05, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
Yes, I am meaning the page itself with the table, those annotations of exceptions seem important enough to note.  — billinghurst sDrewth 04:20, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
@Billinghurst: In particular, {{PD-ItalyGov}} was deleted between 2009 and 2018. In the interim, everything was treated as beyond 70pma or delete. Carl Lindberg (talk) 05:56, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

  • Making a 2D copy of a 2D work does not constitute new copyright and claiming authorship on such a photo is the same as claiming authorship of the underlying work. Are you the author of this book?

File: Old malayalam actor.png

I am writing to request the undeletion of the image File: File: Old malayalam actor.png depicting the Indian actor Jayan. The image was recently deleted on the grounds that it already exists on Facebook. However, I would like to clarify that images of Jayan are widely available and not copyrighted, hence freely accessible for public use.

I intend to use this image under a fair use license for Wikimedia projects, particularly on ml.wikipedia.org, to enhance the article on Jayan and provide visual context relevant to his career and contributions to Indian cinema. As per fair use guidelines, this image will be used in a non-commercial, educational context to illustrate the subject matter in an encyclopedic manner.

To support this request, I confirm that:

The image is freely available and not copyrighted. Its use will be strictly limited to illustrating an article about Jayan on ml.wikipedia.org. Proper attribution and fair use rationale will be provided as per Wikimedia Commons policies. Template:12:17, 20 June 2024

Old version of Stratz Körper des Kindes 3 136.jpg

See the history log here.

The original version of a scanned page from this 1909 issue (which includes a photograph) was overwritten in 2007 for remove the image and deleted for "serious copyvio doubts (about the photograph)" because, although the book's author also took some photographs, not all of the images used for the book were created by them, but from other photographers (some of them credited below some of the images, but not in all cases). However, in fact the photograph deleted from this file in question (also available here) is in fact in the public domain as its creator is known (in a 1904 publication of the same book the author's name is credited at the foot note just below the photograph) and has been deceased since 1930.

For that, as the photograph is also PD, hiding the image technically wouldn't be specially needed anymore, as the original scan is also a proof concerning the photograph's publication history.

This request applies only to this file as evidence crediting the original author was provided. Other cases may be reviewed carefully to confirm that the original creator is provided in the 1909 version of the book or in an older version, like the 1904 one before undeleting other scan files from this publication work. 81.41.177.91 16:01, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

 Support The photo on the page is the same as File:Stratz - Körper des Kindes 04.jpg, which we have credited to de:Wilhelm Plüschow (1852-1930), so in the PD both in Germany as well as the US. The photo on the book page has a credit to A. Schuler in it (lower right), compare [20], which apparently does not stand for a photographer, but for the Chemigraphische Kunstanstalt August Schuler in Stuttgart, a lithography company. --Rosenzweig τ 11:13, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose This appears to be a work of Pakistan's government. Licensed and sourced as an own work, which is unlikely. (Edit: striked oppose since Elcobbola provided the actual source.) Abzeronow (talk) 22:31, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
  •  Support - The reason was "No permission," which is readily observable in the deletion log, and something you were indeed asked to provide and did not. This was presumably asked because it is difficult to imagine that someone with a history of copyright violations is the author of a professional quality headshot of a three-star general (!!!). And, sure enough, your self-authorship and {{Cc-zero}} claims were both, yet again, blatant untruths: this is the work of the Inter Services Public Relations Directorate (ISPR) of Pakistan. By dumb luck, however, the ISPR has licensed the image as cc-by-sa 4.0, so it can be restored for that reason. Эlcobbola talk 22:54, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

For the same reason as "File:Doutrina e Convênios.jpg", I took these photos. The file File:Guns n roses lenny 1920x1080.png I made on Canva. In addition to the other uploads that were deleted, these four are my own.

 Oppose the GnR one, DW of copyrighted Guns 'N Roses albums. I'd like an explanation of how the first two are in scope. Abzeronow (talk) 18:40, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
They were used on my user page Lennyonwiki (talk) 20:30, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
Hmmm, your edit count across Wikimedia doesn't strike me as you being a significant contributor yet. They definitely seem like personal photos. Abzeronow (talk) 20:42, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
Yes, they are personal photos. They were on my user page, it is personal and not being used on any article. Lennyonwiki (talk) 20:58, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose Agreed. I see nothing educationally useful in the first two and a serious copyvio in the third. The cover of the Book of Mormon is completely irrelevant to the decision on these three. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:00, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
Yeah. I think the Guns N Roses photo might be a similar situation to the cover of the Book of Mormon. The album's cover is obviously copyrighted by the band, just as the book cover is written by the church. But it turns out that I was the one who made the editing on Canva. I don't know if that would be relevant. What could be done is to credit the art I made as the work of Guns N Roses and not mine, despite it being a montage made by me. Lennyonwiki (talk) 21:04, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
It's different since the book cover is simple text below the threshold of originality. The GnR covers are above COM:TOO USA. We would need the band's permission to host that file here. Abzeronow (talk) 21:10, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
Hmmm, ok, didnt know that. Couldn't you just credit the band on the details? I dont know how to do that yet. Lennyonwiki (talk) 21:14, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Yes, but it is also a derivative work COM:DW of the albums of GnR and also the band's logo. While the placement of the albums and logo, and how the logo is visually presented are your creative choices, the underlying creative work (albums and logo) are not yours, and thus we would need permission from the band.

File:Trieste Monumento Oberdan 014.jpg

Hi everyone, I'm writing in order to ask for the undeletion of this image, deleted after this DR in 2013. The depicted statue is part of the monument to Oberdan (it:Museo del Risorgimento e sacrario di Oberdan), commissioned by the Municipality of Trieste to the architect Umberto Nordio and to the sculptor Attolio Selva (see here). The whole building was inaugurated in 1934. Therefore it fell under Template:PD-ItalyGov in 1955, way before the URAA so no issue with US copyright.--Friniate (talk) 16:44, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

File:TabukGold.jpg

Hi, it seems the file File:TabukGold.jpg has been deleted, according to reasons stating "A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license." However, the source of which the image was taken and uploaded to commons from the following: https://www.deviantart.com/marcusburns1977/art/TabukGold-1050089119 is actually visibly licensed as 'Creative Commons 3.0" and is thus in fact, free to use under those terms. Who-ever opted for its speedy deletion request probably did so mistakenly, possibly not having seen that written license. Paraxade13 (talk) 09:19, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Though the site status regarding IP ownership between users may sometimes be questionable, it shouldn't be discounted that there indeed still exist many real users, even notable ones, who do indeed upload and keep, original artistic works there. Acknowledged user Thuresson's opinion against is made in good faith, but doesn't seem to provide much objective information as to the particular IP status of the work currently in discussion, outside of just a blanket generalization? Paraxade13 (talk) 08:24, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
Tried a reverse-image search via Google Lens for any duplicate or near-duplicate images that may exist online prior to the given image source's upload date, and there currently doesn't seem to be any. The image source & accompanying license may very well likely be original, be it a painting, photograph or otherwise? unless anyone users should present evidence for the contrary? HanyNAR (talk) 11:20, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
With no further context it seems unlikely that a random DeviantArt user should have dozens of rare and obscure firearms totaling a worth of more than 100k laying around just to photograph Trade (talk) 13:45, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
That's true. However judging by other contents within that DeviantArt account user's profile, seems many (if not all of them) are either original 3D rendered computer generated imagery, lined drawings and/or even paintings(?), might not necessarily even be photographs? Of course its not very likely some deviantart user (or anyone else in particular) would realistically have more than USD$100k+ worth of such rare items to photograph. Attempted to emulate some reverse-image search results as put forth by user @HanyNAR. This is some of the ('similar') results found from other published sources. Some of them are also indeed drawing's/paintings, but not necessarily objective indicators that those artist themselves has physical access/ownership of that item to draw/render/paint from? Paraxade13 (talk) 14:25, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

You then use this movie as an example of Public domain Movie Modifications ie making a Black and white movie into color, the copyright of the original black-and-white version of the movie was never renewed and lapsed — Preceding unsigned comment added by JJC45 (talk • contribs) 12:09, 23 June 2024‎ (UTC)

 Oppose I don't really follow the argument of the requester. The movie itself was a derivative work of a copyrighted book. Anyways, Mdaniels5757 made an excellent investigation in Commons:Deletion requests/File:God's Little Acre (Mann, 1958) — High Quality 1080p.webm and found the copyright renewals of this film. Günther Frager (talk) 12:33, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
I am very new to this, I was unawar changes on Wikipedia, by the avarage person, i always throught it was done by professional. Until recent event. that started on the 20th June 2024. Anyone can change the present information, but not the past and the fact cannot be changed, thats is were the Wayback Machine comes in. I have a youtube channel is is all about the public Domain. This movie has been shown on Wikipedia as being in the public Domain for over 10 Years. JJC45 (talk) 12:52, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
Well, being on Wikipedia is not a proof of anything. I myself tried to upload this film, so I would like very much to be in the public domain, but if the evidence proves otherwise, we can't host it. To everybody else: Please not that there is also a controversy on English Wikipedia about this. See history of en:List of films in the public domain in the United States‎. Yann (talk) 12:57, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
Yes I did see that, as you know I am new here, and I saw you were the one who added it in the first place. after my last comments, I now know you do not work for ODmedia.But I knowlege of having it put back is zero. People should not be removing only based on legal facts and not opinios or anyother reason. JJC45 (talk) 13:10, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
I do not see what there is you dont not understand Günther Frager. Mdaniels5757, it was removed it on the basis the original black and white version of the movie was then rennewd in 1986. Then please explain how is it a Book on the subject of Plublic Domain between 2001 (15 years after 1986)and the latest Edtion 2022 (36 years after 1986), that uses this movie in it's example states otherwise. These books can be bougth today on Amazon. So either the Autour of these books and the copyright office is wrong and Mdaniels5757 is right. or it is the other way around? JJC45 (talk) 14:57, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
Why do you say the Copyright Office is wrong? They've got the renewal on the website. I don't know why the author might be wrong; back in 2001 was before all the renewal data was digitized and made easily searchable, so it's quite possibly an error. In any case, given a dispute between clear law and someone's published unexplained claim, I'm going to go with clear law.--Prosfilaes (talk) 15:01, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose Unrenewed works that are derivatives of other works still being copyrighted seems to be a rule frequently ignored in US copyright law. There seems to be no question that the underlying book is copyright, hence the movie is still copyrighted. Whether the movie can be undeleted when the book goes into the public domain in 2029 is a question that can be answered then. (Though the movie renewal seems perfectly clear; it'd be nice to hear why it's supposedly deficient.)--Prosfilaes (talk) 15:01, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
In the book, it talkes about colorization being copyrighted. Do you know who, has the copyright to this? "movie renewal seem perfectly claer" please explain. "The underlying book is copyright book is copyright, hence the movie is copyright" intresting? So so the book over a period of 21 years stating the black and white version of the movie God's Little acre is wrong. JJC45 (talk) 15:29, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

I have to say I have never come across people who are so arrogant, I need to raise another one of them since you closed my last post, you could not even allow it to run for at least a couple of days, who do you think you are?

Also, I need this post to take a screenshot of it, for my records you understand.

first a quick summary of what has gone down.

When I was looking into this movie I thought I saw the movie could be played from the website, then I was it was not there, and put it down to my imagination with the number of movies I look into daily, until I discovered on the 21st June 2024 it was not, my imagination.


A counter-notification was sent to a claimant by the Name of OD Media, this was sent to them on the 20th of June 2024 at 7:24 PM my (local time)

On the 21st of June 2024 at 14:24 User Yann here removed the entry for the film God's Little Acre from the List of films in the public domain in the United States page. which I was unaware, could done so easily, so I registered an account here to speak about it.

From my point of view, this looks not right to me, as if something untoward is going on, whether it is or is not I do not care, as the truth will come out in the end.

Now guys feel free to close this ticket. Just need the screenshot.

 Not done: Duplicate of UDR. The movie is definitely a DW of a book under copyright. This is how It's a Wonderful Life was brought back into copyright: the underlying story and music are still copyrighted. Obvious cases can be closed within a day. --Abzeronow (talk) 00:08, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Just to understand you the reason for the takedown was based on the following copyright office information.

Is there any other copyright office information that relates to this one?

File:Max Fishman.jpg

Please restore the photograph of Max Fishman. File:Max Fishman.jpg It was made by amateurs around 1953-54 for the stand of our conservatory teachers. Since then it has not been published anywhere. All rights to the photograph were given for free use. Comments that I am 90 years old are too exaggerated - I am 86 years old. When the photo was taken I was learning to take photographs. There were many assistants. Max Fishman died in 1985. Why remove a photograph of a person that no one has claimed for about 80 years. Sincerely, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Levikoan (talk • contribs) 16:59, 23 June 2024 (UTC) (UTC)

I'll note that I said "approximately 90 years old", and I was rounding up from 88. Abzeronow (talk) 18:12, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose Here you say "it was made by amateurs". On the upload you say you were the photographer. Assuming the image was made in Moldova in he early 1950s, it was under copyright in Moldova after the URAA date and therefore is under copyright in the USA until around 2050.

File:Tulegen Dautbayev Portrait.jpg

This is the same portrait which is used in the following media Dautbayev book.jpg so the same explanation goes here which I've already covered under the [Ticket#2024060510011066] release.

I can repeat it here as well:

This portrait was taken in the soviet era in the USSR a long time ago when this person was alive in the regular soviet government-owned photo studio which was not subject to copyright.

"Theatres and film studios as well as the photographic industry were nationalized in August 1919.

Periodicals, encyclopedias, choreographic works, movies and movie scripts, and collections of photographs were copyrighted for ten years from their first publication.[35][39] Individual photographs were copyrighted for five years since their publication.[35][39] Photographs were only copyrighted if they bore the name of the studio or the photographer, the address, and the year.[40]

After the changes in 1961, photographs still were subject to the rule from the 1928 Fundamentals that they needed to be marked with the name of the studio, its address, and the year in order to be copyrighted.

Legal documents and in general works created by civil servants in their line of duty were not subject to copyright.[73]"

You can read more following this link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_the_Soviet_Union

please restore the file and also the page where it was used https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Даутбаев,_Тулеген

--Almas Dautbay (talk) 19:02, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose The only date on the upload is 2021 which is obviously not correct for a subject who died in 1978. Much of what you say above is incorrect, please refer to Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory/Consolidated_list_So-Sy#Soviet_Union. Assuming the author is unknown, this image has a URAA copyright if it was made after 1943. If it was made after 1954 it is still under copyright in Russia. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:10, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

All what I said is taken from the verified and checked Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_the_Soviet_Union which is based on the copyright laws of USSR and Russia.
I've also opened your link Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Consolidated list So-Sy#Soviet Union but it doesn't say anything opposite to what I mentioned above. For example "Works published in the former USSR should be in the public domain under the laws of the successor country of origin and the United States if they are to be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons." I agree, and this work was not published in the former USSR. It's not an art or public work. It's private photo made in a regular photoshop without special mark of the author, address or name of the studio, therefore it was not copyrighted as I mentioned above. Plus "general works created by civil servants in their line of duty were not subject to copyright". So, URAA is not applicable here.
Let me know, how I could change the date for this picture in question if this is a problem. The upload date was automatically set by the system. Thanks. Almas Dautbay (talk) 19:14, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
Russia is the successor country, and if the photograph was never published, it's still under copyright in Russia, and in the U.S., copyright would expire 70 years after the death of the photographer or 120 years from creation if the photographer is unknown. Abzeronow (talk) 19:30, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
no, it's not under copyright and it was never subject to copyright in USSR or Russia or US, please read the following article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_the_Soviet_Union

This photo was made exactly in such regular soviet photo studio where people used to go to make photos for documents and for portraits. So it was made by civil servants in their lined of duty, so it was not subject to copyright. Plus it didn't have name of the studio printed or the photographer or the address and the year. Almas Dautbay (talk) 19:40, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
@Alex Spade: @A.Savin: since they'd know more about Russian copyright law than me. Abzeronow (talk) 19:48, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
Well, if you don't trust Wikipedia, that's OK, but as I said I'm referring only to quotes taken from that verified Wikipedia article which in turn refers to historical and actual laws. Almas Dautbay (talk) 19:57, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Again, WP apparently has a different understanding of Soviet copyright law than we do here and quoting WP here won't accomplish anything. We deal with copyright issues here constantly, WP does not, so please don't assume that WP is right and Commons is wrong. However, I note the following from the WP article "Another characteristic that Soviet copyright law inherited from the Tsarist law was that copyright was automatic: copyright began with the creation of the work (not its completion or publication), and was not subject to registration." which contradicts your assertions above. As a general rule, every creative work has a copyright from the moment of creation.

Also note, that as Abzeronow said above, if it was first published after 2002, then it has a US copyright until 70 years after the death of the photographer or, if the photographer is unknown, the earlier of 95 years after publication or 120 years after creation. That is true no matter where in the world it originated. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:08, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

1) WP doesn't have any special unique understanding, it just directly quotes relevant law articles. Commons also can't have another version of the same laws. Law is law. Here is the direct link to that USSR law itself:
https://ru.wikisource.org/wiki/%D0%9F%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5_%D0%A6%D0%98%D0%9A_%D0%B8_%D0%A1%D0%9D%D0%9A_%D0%A1%D0%A1%D0%A1%D0%A0_%D0%BE%D1%82_16.05.1928_%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%8B_%D0%B0%D0%B2%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE_%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B0
_
"12. Срок пользования авторским правом на фотографические произведения и на произведения, полученные способами, аналогичными с фотографией, устанавливается для отдельных снимков в пять лет, для собраний снимков — в десять лет.
Для сохранения за фотографом авторского права на фотографические изображения требуется означение на каждом экземпляре: фирмы или имени, фамилии и места жительства фотографа, а также года выпуска в свет фотографического произведения."
_
which means in English, exactly the same what was quoted in WP page - "Photographs were only copyrighted if they bore the name of the studio or the photographer, the address, and the year."
_
2) "Copyright began with creation of work". It doesn't contradict, it's still the same in Russia. It means that copyright begins with the creation of the work, right. Where copyright is applicable. It works the same way even now. For example, you can't copyright calendars or official documents, etc. in Russia. So such works will not be subject of copyright. So not every work is subject to copyright, but the one which is subject to copyright, it is protected by copyright since the creation.
_
3) It wasn’t published in the USSR, Russia, the US, or anywhere else, as I explained above, neither before nor after 2002. It was taken in 1957 at a regular Soviet photo studio, where people went to have photos taken for documents and portraits. The photo was kept in this person’s family archives Almas Dautbay (talk) 20:54, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
  • Old Soviet copyright terms defined in the Civil Code of the RSFSR and previous legislation is irrelevant now, due to retroactive actions of the Berne Convention, the Russian copyright law of 1993 and current Russian copyright legislation in form the part IV of the Civil Code of the RF. All verified cases for Wikimedia Commons purposed are described in {{PD-Russia}} ({{PD-Russia-1996}} or {{PD-Russia-expired}}). Yes, there is some gray zone with some cases with photoworks for documents - some Russian legal scholars consider them as uncopyrightable due to lack of creativity, but only some legal scholars suggest such PoV - there is no any meaningful judicial opinions for such cases, and due to Com:PRP they are not suitable for Wikimedia Commons. Alex Spade (talk) 22:12, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
    Thanks @Alex Spade. Yes, I understand about Russian copyright law, but this person never lived and didn't have any connections with Russia. This photo was taken in the Qyzylorda, Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic.

    Thanks, @Alex Spade Yes, I understand about Russian copyright law, but this person never lived and didn't have any connections with RSFSR/Russia. This photo was taken in the Qyzylorda, Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic/Kazakhstan. Copyrights that were previously managed by the Soviet state were transferred to the newly independent states that emerged from the former Soviet Union accordingly. In this case - Kazakhstan.

    sorry for duplicates, @Alex Spade and please check email here. thanks Almas Dautbay (talk) 09:17, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
    Soviet and current Kazakhstan copyright legislation is close enough to the Russian legislation. Kazakhstan is also member of the Berne Convention with its retroactive protection term. For the Berne Convention, Wikimedia Commons, Russian and Kazakhstan legislation it is important - "where and when was work published firstly (not just created)?" Alex Spade (talk) 09:42, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
    @Alex Spade First of all, I wouldn’t call it a “work.” It’s just a regular Soviet document photo taken in a typical Soviet photo studio. Therefore, it wasn’t published anywhere. I obtained it from the relatives of the person in the photo, who passed away 46 years ago, and they had it in their family photo albums. I would appreciate it if you could help restore it. Please let me know what is needed for this. What exactly is the remaining issue here? Almas Dautbay (talk) 10:24, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
    however, please let me double check re the public domain. I might be wrong. Almas Dautbay (talk) 10:51, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

The issue is, that if, as you claim, it was never published anywhere before this, then its first publication was here on Commons and it therefore has a US copyright until 1/1/2078 (120 years after its 1958 creation). .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:30, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Some images deleted by Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Puregold San Mateo

If some of the images at the DR show only generic parts of the building like window frames, the images may be restored as the parts are not unique architectural components (tag: {{PD-structure|PHL}}).

Files from Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Depeche Mode logos

I am requesting the undeletion of several Depeche Mode logos created between 2013 and 2023, recently deleted from the Commons due to claims of COM:TOO United Kingdom. All logos were simple enough to be below the US threshold, being simple lines and letters. The following logos from the DR I will be discussing about are listed below:

File:Depeche Mode (Logo).png
File:Depeche Mode logo 2022.png
File:Depeche Mode Logo.png
File:Depeche Mode logo.png
File:Depeche Mode Memento Mori logo.jpg
File:Ghosts Again logo.png
File:Logo Depeche Mode 2013.png
File:Logo dm2013.png
File:Memento Mori Logo.png
File:Memento Mori World Tour Logo.png

Firstly, none of the involved parties appear to have been in the UK during the relevant period. Depeche Mode band members Dave and Martin have resided in the USA since the 1990s, and the record label for the albums in question, Columbia Records/Sony Music, are based in the USA. The logos were designed by Anton Corbijn, whom is Dutch.

Therefore, it's questionable why the UK is being considered as the country of origin solely because the band originated there 40 years ago. These logos were first published simultaneously on the internet during album promotions, by an American record label. It is more plausible that they were 'published' from America rather than the UK.

I know its a bit harder to determine an online works' country of origin, however there is a stronger case for American origin than British origin in this case. PascalHD (talk) 22:20, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Pinging @Jameslwoodward: as the DR closing admin. Ankry (talk) 13:01, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
The location of the designer and the band members' residences is irrelevant here, but the fact that the label was in the US is critical and was not in the DR. Unless others disagree, I think we probably should restore these. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:10, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I am requesting the undeletion of the file File:Conner Prairie Logo 2020.png, because, if I am remembering good, it was a text logo under the threshold of originality, and it was used on a page as proved here: [21]. Also, Mvcg66b3r (talk · contribs) spotted the below threshold, and Minorax (talk · contribs) aggreed to keep it, as per this deletion request: [22]. Would it please be possible to make it visible again?

Deleted by mistake; simple text logo Mvcg66b3r (talk) 05:38, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Files in Category:Ursula Stalder

For the files in Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Ursula Stalder, at Commons talk:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Ursula Stalder, the uploader claimed FOP. This doesn't appear in the discussion. Enhancing999 (talk) 23:30, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Yes, their comment on Swiss FOP should have been copied to discussion, but these are definitely indoors photographs, and it's uncertain if they were permanently displayed. Abzeronow (talk) 23:44, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I don't see any reason to believe this is not own work by the uploader. It has EXIF data, and was taken by a Sony Cyber-shot camera, and there is nothing official about it. It was certainly taken by one of the party member, like other pictures by this user. And this IP claim in the DR is wild speculation not based on facts. Yann (talk) 09:24, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

File:Shin Seul-ki Singles Korea.png

Hello! I would like to have the media file File:Shin Seul-ki Singles Korea.png to be restored. I have read and understood that the owner of the media says, I can use part of the video as photo/screenshot as long as provide the URL of the video or the source of the screenshot which is on Singles Korea's Youtube channel. Link for the said video is here and the permission is stated under the video description. I believe I have provided the source/URL when I uploaded the media earlier.

I hope you can help me with this or let me know what I can do further to prevent my upload from being deleted in the future. Thank you.

File:Asim Masoom Zubair (Diana Award Holder).jpg

Dear Wikimedia Commons Administrators,

I am writing to request the undeletion of the file "Asim Masoom Zubair (Diana Award Holder).jpg," which was deleted under the criteria for speedy deletion CSD F10 (personal photos by non-contributors).

Justification for Undeletion:

Significant Public Interest and Notability:

Muhammad Asim Masoom Zubair is a highly recognized individual who was awarded the prestigious Diana Award for his exceptional contributions during the COVID-19 pandemic. He produced and distributed over 5,000 bottles of hand sanitizer to help mitigate the spread of the virus in his community. This notable act has been widely reported and recognized in various news outlets and by reputable organizations such as The Express Tribune, Daily Times, and Parhlo​ (The Express Tribune)​​ (Daily Times)​​ (Parhlo)​. Asim has also represented Pakistan at international platforms, including the United Nations, showcasing his contributions and enhancing Pakistan's image globally​ (Islamia University)​​ (Educations.pk)​. Educational and Inspirational Value:

The image in question serves an educational purpose, illustrating the achievements of a young Pakistani who has made significant contributions to public health and humanitarian efforts. Asim's story is an inspiration to many, encouraging youth involvement in community service and public health initiatives.

Given these points, the image does not fit the criteria for speedy deletion as it holds substantial educational, inspirational, and public interest value. Furthermore, it adheres to Wikimedia Commons' mission of providing educational media content to the public.

I kindly request the undeletion of the file to preserve the educational and inspirational value it holds. If additional documentation or permission is required, please let me know, and I will provide it promptly.

Thank you for considering this request.

To: Wikipedia Administrators

Dear Wikipedia Administrators,

I am writing to request the undeletion of the image "Anandmurti Gurumaa.jpeg," which was recently removed from the Wikipedia page for Anandmurti Gurumaa (link to the page).

Reason for Undeletion Request:

Relevance to the Subject: The image is directly relevant to the subject of the article, Anandmurti Gurumaa, and serves to visually identify her for readers. Including an image significantly enhances the quality and comprehensiveness of the article.

The image was sourced from www.gurumaa.com, which is the official website of Anandmurti Gurumaa. The same website is already listed as an external link on the Wikipedia page, indicating its credibility and relevance. I have obtained explicit permission from the copyright holders at www.gurumaa.com to use this image on Wikipedia. They have granted a free license for its use on Wikipedia under the appropriate Creative Commons license . Compliance with Wikipedia Policies:

The image meets the criteria for free use and is intended solely for educational and informational purposes. It complies with Wikipedia's policies on non-free content and fair use, as it is the most appropriate image to identify Anandmurti Gurumaa in the article. Enhancement of the Article: The presence of the image will provide readers with a visual reference, thereby enhancing their understanding of the subject. Visual aids are known to improve reader engagement and retention of information.

Conclusion:

In light of the above points, I kindly request the undeletion of the image "Anandmurti Gurumaa.jpeg" and its restoration to the Wikipedia page for Anandmurti Gurumaa. The image is essential for the completeness and quality of the article, and all necessary permissions have been obtained for its use.

Thank you for considering my request. I am happy to provide any further information or documentation required to support this request.

Sincerely,
