Since the photo were taken in 1962, which are now in public domain per Myanmar's 2019 copyright law. Ninja✮Strikers «☎» 06:58, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose They were not public domain in 1996 as photographs would have been creation plus 50 years under the old British law which means pre-1946 photos. These would have entered the public domain only in 2013. So URAA applies. Abzeronow (talk) 16:07, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

I request the undeletion of this file given the fact that I am its author and I published it. This file is intended to serve as a logo for the Popular Democratic Party of Puerto Rico given the lack of availability of other logos to represent the party. Additionally, it consists of simple geometric shapes (a circle and a jíbaro) which do not qualify for copyright protection. The Popular Democratic Party of Puerto Rico does not have copyright power over neither of those shapes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ps0340170 (talk • contribs) 21:43, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

File:A fabulous birthday (23491654620).jpg

Commons:Deletion requests/File:A fabulous birthday (23491654620).jpg was closed rather quickly today, and I was halfway through typing out a keep for it at the time: I think it's a good illustration of a person genuinely engaged in editing a video on a home computer, to the point where I would have used it at en:Video editing#Home video editing, or even in the lead there. The concern that the photo is a social-media style "selfie" seems misplaced, as the subject is facing away from the camera.

As someone who's had to fake a screen onto a similar stock photo before, decent photos of people doing something specific on a computer, where the photo emphasises the act of work more than the person as an individual, can be quite rare. --Belbury (talk) 17:49, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

 Support I agree with Belbury. Definitely not "rubbish" as the speedy deletion nominator had said, and a good illustration of someone using editing software. This is not some social media selfie. Abzeronow (talk) 17:57, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
Weak  Oppose: "Someone using iMovie" is different than a picture that could illustrate that use. The screen is blurry, and since it is a free software, anyone can create a useful picture or video. This is not one of them. If anything, this could illustrate a teenager's desktop, but nothing else. Yann (talk) 18:54, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose Very busy, low quality image. The screen is out of focus. The half cup on the right should be cropped, also some of the left..     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:37, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
 Comment Since there is clearly disagreement, can this be restored and a regular deletion request (not a speedy) be opened in order that we are able to get additional opinions from people who can't currently see the deleted media? Bastique ☎ appelez-moi! 14:35, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

File:Mlýnské nábřeží, ruské reklamy.jpg

Arguments against deletion were again not taken into account.

The photo depicts a portable metal board of a travel office, with many similar leaflets containing large color titles in Russian (suppossed to be simple non-literary texts, without sufficiently creative authorship in a general typeface) and illustrative photos of the destinations offered (indistinct due to the proportions in the whole composition and resolution of the photo, apparently De minimis par excellence). The subject of the photograph is the fact that the Bohemian city of Karlovy Vary is partially Russian-language. This is an encyclopedically significant fact and the photos documenting this fact are in scope of Commons.

  • Yann argued "These posters contain a lot of copyrighted material, not only simple text." He ignored the arguments, that the texts (titles of the leaflets) have not sufficiently creative authorship and that the included photos are small, indistinct, de minimis. He did not specify which elements or aspects of the leaflets he considered copyrightable and why he disagree with the contention that the included photographs, given the size, composition, resolution and subject matter of the overall photograph, are "De minimis".
  • Jameslwoodward wrote: "If the posters are de minimis then all we have is a photo of a non-descript doorway which is out of scope." This reasoning does not respond to my arguments. My argument was that the headlines of the leaflets are non-creative PD-Texts, and the photographs contained in the leaflets are "de minimis" in relation to the whole composition and subject of the photography. The composition of individual leaflets also cannot be considered an original creative work either.
  • Jameslwoodward wrote: "If the posters are the subject of the image, then the image infringes on their copyrights." Again, an argument based on a false premise. The subject of the photo is the distinct headings of the leaflets, especially the language used, which is in scope as the subject of the photo. The headings are claimed to be not copyrightable, as simple texts without sufficiently creative authorship, in a general typeface. The only thing that could be copyrightable on those leaflets are the illustrative photos of the destinations, which are so small and indistinct in the overall composition that exactly correspond to the principle "de minimis", par excellence. (Btw., the rack itself could be also in scope.) --ŠJů (talk) 11:06, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose I don't read the language, but there appear to be enough legible words there to have a copyright in the USA -- which only takes a single sentence or two. Also, many of the photographs are large enough so that they cannot be called de minimis. As I said, there is nothing in this image that is interesting that does not have a copyright as text or photos or both. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:43, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

 Not done COM:DM applies if the photo can be still useful after the copyrighted content is removed. This photo is useless if the advertisements are removed: they are the main subject of the photo. Ankry (talk) 13:00, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

File:Дмитров1.jpg

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: this may be a test UNDEL case. Deleted through Commons:Deletion requests/File:Дмитров1.jpg, on the grounds that it contained one component image that was a violation of NoFoP-Russia for copyrighted public monuments.

RG72 gave an interesting case though, in 2019–20 concerning a postcard set, one of the constituent postcards contained an image of a monument in Yekaterinburg whose sculptor filed a copyright complaint (see Commons talk:Copyright rules by territory/Russia#NoFoP should be amended). The case reached the Russian Supreme Court, which denied the sculptor's complaint (essentially dismissed), because the involved monument was only depicted in one of the postcards of the set (the set is considered the entire reproduction, and the monument is not the main object of the whole reproduction because it was only depicted in one of the postcards). Perhaps while the original images should stay deleted, the montages or collages where those deleted images were being used should be restored, in light with this slightly-lenient ruling by the Russian court narrowing sculptors' economic rights. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 08:08, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Ping other participants of that CRT/Russia talkpage thread @Alexander Davronov@Alex Spade. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 08:11, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
Recently (on June 25, 2024) the Yekaterinburg case and some similar cases were subject of trial in the Russian Constitutional Court (the highest court of the RF, higher than the Russian Supreme Court). See discussions in ru-community: 1st+2nd ones on Commons and 1st+2nd ones in Ru-wiki.
In short: the right for usage of copyrighted work for informational and similar purposes (even with some profit earning) without copyrightholder permission granted by article 1274 of the Civil Code of the RF is higher than noncommercial/limited rights granted by part 1 of article 1276. Nevertheless, that is not enough for Commons - article 1274 is the Russian analog of fair use doctrine from the US copyright legislation, which is deprecated on Commons. Alex Spade (talk) 09:37, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
@Alex Spade how about the possibility of the montages/collages being lawful based on the court ruling, since the monuments themselves are not the main objects of the collages/montages. Similar analogy to the court ruling itself that concerns a set of postcards, even if one of the postcards unambiguously shows the monument itself as its sole depiction, the entire postcard set is lawful (the monument is not the main object of the entire postcard set) and the sculptor's claims dismissed, if I can understand RG72's comment in the CRT talk page. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 09:51, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
Hmmm... This is interesting PoV (suggestion), but Jim's point below (We routinely require that each of the individual images in a montage is present on Commons) is too strong. Alex Spade (talk) 22:10, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose There is a simple answer to this. We routinely require that each of the individual images in a montage is present on Commons, freely licensed. We do this in order that we can check the copyright status of each image. Obviously, the offending image in a situation like this cannot be present separately on Commons, so we can't keep a montage containing it. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:18, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

 Support Firstly the author of the image expressly freely licensed his image to the Commons. Secondly, according to the Russian Constitutional Landmark case mentioned above (see news on Court's website, [2] and [3]) NoFoP is not applicable anymore to the images of the objects situated in public spaces and therefore can be freely distributed requiring no object's (depicted on the images) copyrightholder permission. I think it's clear now that anything copyrighted that was publicly displayed (either by author himself or contractor) can be freely taken photo of and the photo can be therefore freely distributed, including for commercial purposes. If you don't want this way of your works to be imaged, then make it private. That's simple. Alexander Davronov (talk) 13:43, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

 Not done No consensus to undelete. And this is not the right venue to discuss Commons policies related to FoP in Russia. Ankry (talk) 12:55, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Two ConventionExtension screenshots

These files was speedily deleted as copyright violations. I was originally going to request undeletion on the basis of them being screenshots of free software (i.e., {{MediaWiki screenshot}}); annoyingly, though, the Git repository of the MediaWiki extension that they're screenshots of doesn't appear to contain a license statement of any kind. However, I noticed that the account that uploaded these files (Chughakshay16) is the same account that developed the extension in the first place (see mw:User:Chughakshay16/ConventionExtension, git:mediawiki/extensions/ConventionExtension/+log) - therefore, even if this extension's code isn't freely licensed, Chughakshay16 would nevertheless have the ability and authority to release screenshots of the results of their own programming under a free license (as they did when they uploaded the files in question to Commons); and these freely-licensed screenshots are therefore not copyvios.

At User talk:Moheen#Screenshot of conference extension deleted?, the deleting admin mentioned that the files were tagged as likely belong[ing] to Cisco Webex; however, I didn't see anything that would indicate that Cisco holds a copyright over this extension's code (or that would prohibit the code's author from being able to freely license screenshots of its results).

 Question Any opinion about this? Yann (talk) 18:50, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
 Comment The author of the extension has likely licensed it under the GPL, based on the Mediawiki page they created. Although the page was edited by an anonymous IP address, I suspect that this IP belonged to the author at the time, as it has also made edits to this user subpage. - Anwon (talk) 19:21, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Per Commons:Village_pump/Copyright/Archive/2022/05#So_when_exactly_do_films_go_into_the_PD_in_Germany? which concludes that this specific film fell into the public domain in 2020 rather than the previously-calculated 2028. --Belbury (talk) 15:30, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

 Info I see no such conclusion there. I see doubts whether it is 2020 or 2029. Ankry (talk) 15:48, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
In that case I'll let the discussion I opened in haste at Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Nosferatu run, if this question was insufficiently resolved. The pump discussion I link to above was used as a rationale for removing a "do not upload until 2028" warning template on Category:Nosferatu, and the subsequent upload of the full film at File:Nosferatu (1922, English titles 1947).webm. Belbury (talk) 16:21, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
I recall that German films are unusual in that while the whole film would be PD, individual frames would still be protected until 70 years after the death of the cinematographer, so 2029 would be correct here. @Rosenzweig: Abzeronow (talk) 16:45, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
The copyright of the film itself is calculated by the last to die (70 years pma) of the four persons mentioned in the 1995 EU directive: director, screen writer, dialogue writer, composer of film music. As I learned from Pajz in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Greta-Garbo-and-Jaro-Furth-in-the-film-Joyless-Street-1925-142462321702.jpg, a single frame of the film is however treated differently than the film itself: it is a work of the cinematographer. And apparently one of the cinematographers for this film was Fritz Arno Wagner, who died in 1958. Hence undeletion in 2029 (not 2028). This was discussed before, see Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2023-03#File:NosferatuShadow.jpg. --Rosenzweig τ 17:05, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose See Rosenzweig's comment and the previous UDR. It may seem paradoxical, but that's how it is: The movie as a whole is now in the public domain in Germany, too (since 2020), but individual frames / still images from the movie are not; undeletion in 2029.

File:"WMNL discriminates" - protest at editathon Wiki goes Caribbean, Amsterdam, 24 August 2024.jpg

Dear Wikimedians,

This photo documents a quiet protest allowed by the Municipality of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, against an unfortunate and inappropriate refusal - no reasons given - by chapter Wikimedia Netherlands (WMNL) to let an active good-faith Wikimedian respectfully join a Wikimedia workshop - there are no complaints about his behaviour. Yes, the subject is awkward, but at Wikimedia Commons we document other protests as well impartially. We should not make the mistake of censorship made by dictatorships around the world. (Obviously, this photo should not have been nominated for deletion in the first place.)

So this is actually not specifically a personal file, and nobody can be harassed or harmed by this factual photo, there being no defamation (reasons mentioned in the Deletion request). (In fact, i myself was of course harassed by the refusal, forgiveness is the right attitude? But moral considerations one way or the other do not detract from the historical value of the photo, and should not unnecessarily be invoked).

(The photo also depicts a 2024 "Amsterdam moment" of protest, the city that for many centuries boasts as much freedom as feasible for its people and visitors. The Dutch philosopher Spinoza praised Amsterdam for this characteristic in his treatise Tractatus Theologico-Politicus (1670).)

  • So please undelete this photo, which is important for the history of Wikimedia in the Netherlands. It depicts objectively a frequently occurring situation there, so is useful.

Thank you for considering this request, Hansmuller (talk) 10:52, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose I'm not sure of the reasons WMNL excluded you, but Wikimedia Commons is surely not the place to extend your personal beef with them. This is not a photo that contributes to this project. Bastique ☎ appelez-moi! 17:11, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

You and the other heirs might be able to release the image under either a {{PD-heirs}} license or a free license acceptable to Commons of your choosing.

Images of the Town Hall of Benghazi

Hi everyone. I'm writing here in order to ask for the undeletion of the following images: File:Benghazi Municipality Interior Old.jpg and File:Benghazi Town Hall Bellotto Chandelier.jpg, deleted in 2013 after this DR and File:Benghazi Town Hall During Colonial Rule.jpg, deleted in the same year after this DR. In 2020 there was this unsuccesful UDR on the first two images.
All the images depict the town hall of Benghazi, built between 1923 and 1925 under the italian colonial rule. The first image depicts the interiors, designed by en:Marcello Piacentini. The second image depicts a chandelier, designed by it:Umberto Bellotto. The third image depicts the exterior, designed by Piacentini and Ivo Lebboroni. See here and here for more details.
As we can read here, Lybia remained legally an italian colony until the peace treaty signed in 1947. But at that date, the aforementioned building had already fallen under Template:PD-ItalyGov (1925+20+1=1946). Therefore, it's actually unimportant if the lybian copyright has actually a 50-y threshold as stated in Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory/Libya#Durations (in that case at least the first two images would still be in PD: 1925+50+1=1976, the 25-y pma threshold wouldn't kick in), or if the situation is unclear as stated in the DRs, (but the help page was written after the DR, so I guess that the situation in the meanwhile has become clearer) since all the three images are in PD since 1946 and no following legislation could have changed that. No issue with US copyright since the building was built way before 1990.--Friniate (talk) 17:21, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

File:Updated coat of arms of Negrar di Valpolicella.png

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: The reason why the file was deleted provided by the person who deleted it is not sufficent, it does not explain anything, my intent was only to produce a higher quality version, in fact the assets I used are 100% free to use, this is because they were taken directly from the official coat of arms that the municipality of negrar uses. So I did not violate any copyright laws or regulations found in wikipedia or in Italy.

File:Signature of Chiman Maru.png

Dear Wikimedia Commons administrators,

I am writing to respectfully request the undeletion of the file File:Signature of Chiman Maru.png, which was deleted for reasons of "self-promotion." The file in question was an image of my personal signature, intended for legitimate and non-promotional use.

The purpose of uploading this file was to provide a visual representation of my signature, which can be relevant for documentation or verification purposes. The image was uploaded under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license, allowing others to share or use the file with proper attribution. There was no commercial or promotional intent behind this upload.

I believe this file meets Wikimedia Commons' guidelines, as it serves an informational purpose rather than promoting any service or product. I respectfully ask for a reconsideration of the decision to delete the file and request its restoration.

Thank you for reviewing my request.

Sincerely, Chiman Maru Saurashtraivrsolutions (talk) 05:04, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Named photographer is subject, although it is not a selfie. Uploader is third party. Needs a license from the actual photographer via VRT. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:38, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

@Jameslwoodward: Unsure what you mean: the subject is Philippe Ballard and the declared author for the recent photo version is LuilGG. I found few external uses of this photo but they seem to be newer than the upload here and probably originate from Commons. The image was tagged by User:Gyrostat as *no source* but it is unclear to me why (just guessing that it may be due to lack the original metadata from the camera). However the tag includes clear instruction to the uploader to provide a written free license permission to VRT. @LuilGG: Did you? Ankry (talk) 09:26, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
Aha -- sorry. The subject was named as the photographer for the first version, but it is as you say for the second. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:28, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Images of Arco della Vittoria

Hi everyone, I'm writing here in order to ask for the undeletion of Image:Genova-Piazza della Vittoria-Monumento al milite ignoto-DSCF7070.JPG and Image:Genova-Piazza della Vittoria-2C.jpg, both deleted in 2007 after this DR and this one. From the names of the files and the infos contained in the DRs it's highly likely that they depict the en:Arco della Vittoria, designed by en:Marcello Piacentini.
On this monument we've had recently 2 DRs, both ended keeping the images, see here and here. As stated in the two DRs, the monument was commissioned to Piacentini by the Genua Municipality. It was inaugurated in 1931, and therefore it fell under Template:PD-ItalyGov in 1952, way before the URAA, so no issue with US copyright.--Friniate (talk) 14:38, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:1922_in_rail_transport_in_Switzerland

Please restore the above category. It was deleted in violation of COM:SPEEDY. Per policy the following to types of categories can be speedy deleted:

The deleting admin was contacted, but doesn't want to discuss it.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 19:01, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

ping @Yann as the admin, closed the discussion Lukas Beck (talk) 19:04, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
There was no discussion of this category an admin closed.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 19:07, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Of course. It was filed behind a different year, but is of course also representative of this category. Lukas Beck (talk) 19:09, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
An empty category is useless unless it is filled in the foreseeable future. And since you cannot assume that this and all of your other empty categories will be filled within the next few weeks or months, the categories should remain deleted. We cannot create categories in advance for every eventuality. The result would be completely chaotic. Lukas Beck (talk) 19:08, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
what chaos did you prevent from happening by tagging it for speedy deletion?
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 19:12, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Very easy. Following your logic, you could create thousands of empty categories for Commons and wait for them to be filled at some point. But that's not how it works. If you need a category because you have files that fit there, you can create one. But not months or years beforehand. Lukas Beck (talk) 19:15, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Generally, I don't delete empty categories like this, but since it was already deleted and there is no file or subcategory associated with the category, I see no reason to restore at this time. Please feel free to recreate this category when it would no longer be empty (I'll even undelete it for you on request when it's no longer empty.) Abzeronow (talk) 19:08, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
The problem is that it was deleted in clear violation of our deletion policy.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 19:10, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
You always accuse me of not discussing things enough. Maybe you should consider my arguments for a change instead of ignoring them. I therefore refer again to my comment above. Deleting the empty categories did not violate our policies. Lukas Beck (talk) 19:12, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Maybe you can explain why you feel it's "obviously unusable". This as you tagged it for speedy deletion. Possible the deleting admin just trusted you in error.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 19:14, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
I refer again to my comment above Lukas Beck (talk) 19:15, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
You just wrote that I could create thousands of similar categories, which I not really known for.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 19:17, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
This isn't about you. It's about a project that everyone can participate in. And if we seriously allow the logic that you have applied to yourself in your framework, then we have to allow it for everyone. And, as already explained, this leads to chaotic conditions. Lukas Beck (talk) 19:22, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
You haven't really explained what's chaotic about this creation. If you aren't sure about the category structure this is part of, please avoid making deletion requests.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 19:25, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
It's chaotic when I open a page where there are a dozen filled categories and many more empty categories, all of which are waiting to be filled at some point or, I hope, to be deleted as quickly as possible and then created when they are actually created are needed. Clear? Lukas Beck (talk) 19:30, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Maybe you are not navigating the category tree correctly. If it says "empty", it's empty.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 19:32, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
If we follow your logic to the end, we would have filled 10 of perhaps a hundred categories. The others are then saved for later. Great, really clear when I want to search for something here. Lukas Beck (talk) 19:34, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
I'm curious what and how you search to be troubled by this category.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 19:47, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
I refer again to my comment above. Lukas Beck (talk) 19:50, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
I mean an actual search term and starting point.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 19:53, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
You already got it ;-) Lukas Beck (talk) 19:56, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
There doesn't seem to be an actual issue you are trying to resolve. Your approach appears to me as purely disruptive.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 20:01, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Only someone who doesn't even try to read my arguments can say that. I can only keep referring to what I have already said so many times; over and over again. If you still don't understand, we should end the discussion here and let someone more experienced than you make the decision. Lukas Beck (talk) 20:14, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
en:WP:Crystal would apply here. Yes, it probably would eventually be usable, but as Lukas Beck says, we don't have any idea when it would be useful. Abzeronow (talk) 19:16, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Well, I'm sure Wikipedia likes that, but here we are at Commons and the speedy policy is fairly clear.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 19:18, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
So which would be your remedy here: a 7-day Deletion Request for the category or a CfD on empty categories in the Year in Rail Transport in Switzerland category tree? Abzeronow (talk) 19:25, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Maybe we should just make sensible decisions, with an emphasis on reason. Even if this is not recorded in writing, we still have a certain amount of freedom of action in this project. Lukas Beck (talk) 19:27, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Again, I don't believe there is a need to restore, but since this doesn't seem like an obvious case, a Deletion Request seems to be in order. I'll obviously wait at least a day per custom so others can weigh in on this. Abzeronow (talk) 19:36, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
DRs are for files and templates.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 19:40, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
It can be used for individual categories that aren't speedy cases, DRs are also for galleries. Abzeronow (talk) 19:43, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Not sure. Good point about galleries, plus all other namespaces.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 19:45, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
The remedy here is to restore the category. If one wants to discuss it, Commons has CfD for this.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 19:28, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
There was discussion with the result that the category should not be retained and even in your attempt to restore it there were enough arguments against it. How much discussion do you need before you can accept that the categories were rightly deleted? By the way, I find your style of discussion terrible, which was also shown to me by your tone with @Yann. Lukas Beck (talk) 19:32, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
This was deleted per COM:SPEEDY. I don't think you demonstrated that you requested speedy deletion properly. Also, you appear to systematically violate it when you consider that all empty categories should be speedy deleted. I suggest as an additional remedy, that Lukas be requested to use CfD instead of speedy deletion for categories going forward.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 19:38, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Thank God we haven't gotten to the point where you can tell me how to do something. So apart from you, I bet you alone, no one has ever had a problem with deleting unnecessary categories. I don't know which feeling prevails for me; that of amusement or that of shame that we are discussing such a trivial matter so heatedly here. Empty categories are deleted daily without discussing the deletion beforehand. But I've already said enough words about your culture of discussion. Lukas Beck (talk) 19:44, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Please link this discussion, Lukas. Abzeronow (talk) 19:40, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Which one would you like to see? We have already discussed this at countless locations today. Lukas Beck (talk) 19:44, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
So, to sum this up, the requested remedy is to restore the category as COM:SPEEDY wasn't followed and, given that Lukas Beck appears to make problematic use of speedy deletion requests, to require them to use CfD going forward.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 20:04, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Your summary maybe. But the “legal situation” is not as clear as you might make it out to be. If you want to vent your frustration on a person, this is the wrong place, okay. And maybe you should treat your colleagues on Commons with a little more respect, although that's certainly too late for me. But it would be recommended if you don't want to make the entire community your enemy. I repeat myself. The categories are useless and therefore suitable for quick deletion, strictly according to our guidelines. Lukas Beck (talk) 20:11, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
COM:SPEEDY is COM:SPEEDY. no need to make it into a personal attack against me.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 20:17, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
Exactly, COM:SPEEDY is COM:SPEEDY and it made sense to use it at this point. No reason for personal attacks against me. People who live in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones. ;-) --Lukas Beck (talk) 20:21, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Reason: If you check the page at [4] which was cited as the "original source" of the image in the deletion rationale, you will see that the image for the 2023 version of the car (which this deleted file is supposed to be) is missing. If you check the photos for the 2017 and 2020 versions, they are all licenced from Wikimedia Commons, and this licencing can be verified by just clicking on the image and reading the caption (at least on desktop browser).

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

All these images depict the it:Scuola di guerra aerea and were deleted in 2013 after 4 DRs: 1, 2, 3 and 4. As we can read here (p. 182) the complex was commissioned by the Ministry of the Air Force to en:Raffaello Fagnoni, and it was completed in 1938.

File:Anna Pappritz Einführung in das Studium der Prostitutionsfrage 1921.jpg

Hello,

this file shows the cover of a brochure of 1921. There is only text stating author, name, date, publisher, plus a rectangle plus the logo of the publisher. There is no "Schöpfungshöhe" (threshold of originality) thus there is no copyright issue.

The file was provided during an edit-a-thon by Archiv der deutschen Frauenbewegung (AddF) and Historisches Museum Frankfurt (HMF). The brochure is in the collection of AddF. A photographer of the HMF (Horst Ziegenfusz) made a photo of it on occasion of an exhibition of HMF. There is no threshold of originality in making the photo, it is comparable to a scan.

HMF and AddF provided the photo during the mentioned edit-a-thon in 2018. I uploaded the file in December (?) 2018. Being inexperienced in these issues I did not protest when the file was nominated for deletion. In June 2019 the file was deleted.

We just had another event with AddF which triggered me to try to get the file undeleted. I asked users with a lot of expertise in copyright issues who reinforced me in my evaluation given above.

Please restore the photo.

We are supposed to just be having a healthy conversation on how we can make this a better website and what we can fix if mistakes are made and using terms like "nonsense" seems a bit too harsh for someone who has no ill intentions.

File:NWS Hastings Tornadoes Picture 1 Webpage.jpg

The file was clearly made by a U.S. government personnel on official duty as this is a screenshot of a U.S. government webpage. Deletion request was open for only about 27 hours before being "Deleted: per nomination" by User:Yann. As this was not a speedy deletion request and Yann did not indicate it was a speedy deletion reasoning, I would like to appeal this deletion. This is clearly a {{PD-USGov}} / {{PD-NWS-employee}} file, given it is a screenshot of a U.S. government webpage by the National Weather Service. WeatherWriter (talk) 22:41, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose Deleted as recreated of a deleted file, as per Commons:Deletion requests/File:NWS Hastings Tornadoes Picture 1 Webpage.jpg. Yann (talk) 22:49, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
The file mentioned in the DR is not identical. Please explain further on why a webpage made entirely by a U.S. government employee on official duty was deleted. WeatherWriter (talk) 22:51, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
For everyone's reference, the image in question was this National Weather Service webpage (Yes, the entire webpage was in the screenshot). By deletion, we are saying a webpage of the U.S. government, made by the U.S. government, is not free-to-use. I still request this file to be undeleted and a review from another administrator besides the deleting administrator, Yann. WeatherWriter (talk) 22:58, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose The uploader is absolutely correct (if perhaps inadvertently so) that no, "a webpage of the U.S. government, made by the U.S. government" is not necessarily free to use, at least not in its entirety. Such webpages can and frequently do comprise free and unfree (or, in this case, presumed unfree) elements, and 17 USC §105 applies only to the portions created by US federal government employees in the course of their duties. This concept of the separability of different elements in a work is absolutely elementary to any understanding of copyright.
Aside of that, I am still assuming good faith here and asking @WeatherWriter: what purpose this screenshot serves that could not be equally served by obscuring the presumed unfree portion of the image, or by choosing a different NWS webpage to screenshot that is comprised of only unambiguously free elements? --Rlandmann (talk) 23:53, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose The page says, in red letters, "Photographer Unknown". If the photographer were a US Government employee, they would almost certainly be known. Therefore we must assume that the image was made by a non-employee and is under copyright. I am not sure I understand User:Rlandmann's suggestion, as obscuring the photograph would remove the reason the image is interesting..     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 09:57, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
I was just wondering if there is any other reason this page is interesting? If I could see one, I'd already have taken action to provide a free alternative. I can't, but I wanted to give @WeatherWriter: the opportunity to point out something I'm missing here. --Rlandmann (talk) 10:58, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: per discussion. I agree with Jim, if this were a work by a federal government employee, it would have stated which government agency. Photographer unknown means a nongovernment third party. --Abzeronow (talk) 16:52, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Restoring files from VOGUE Taiwan

Can restore the following images that were taken from videos of the Vogue Taiwan official YouTube Channel? Althougt these captures we're from videos originally posted by another accounts like Architectural Design, since both Vogue and AD are from the same company, Condé Nast, I think Vogue Taiwan has the rights to release it on YouTube with CC licenses, despite original videos did not have that license, becasue some of them have been in use in Wikipedia articles like Kourtney Kardashian, and they were deleted without notice or a deletion request:

Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:UG-GE Photowalk (March, 2018)

those files deleted as no FoP in Georgia but they are just graffiti. I think that COM:GRAFFITI applies. Template {{Non-free graffiti}} should be added as well. We have a lot's of them in Category:Non-free graffiti. -- Geagea (talk) 13:52, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

 Comment Documentation of Template:Non-free graffiti states: "Note that this template doesn't have enough help on the undeletion requests, deleted files are unlikely to be restored just because of the potential application of this tag.". Günther Frager (talk) 18:18, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
that's not just because the template. The template is only for information. The deletion rational was no FoP in Georgia. But it is not FoP issue. I linked COM:GRAFFITI and we have a lots of files in Category:Non-free graffiti. -- Geagea (talk) 18:28, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose But Georgia does not have FOP anyway. Also, these are murals by unknown artists, not just text or tags. Thuresson (talk) 18:09, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
So graffiti is a FoP case? If FoP in Georgia will be ok than the graffiti also ok? Aren't they in temporarily exhibition by definition. If they just a case of FoP it's not very clear in COM:GRAFFITI. -- Geagea (talk) 20:47, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
For better or worse, we have allowed photos of illegal graffiti by policy regardless of FoP laws -- but we prefer using the FoP tags, or PD tags, if those apply rather than relying on that rationale. If this looks like "legal graffiti", i.e. murals, then we should not allow it. Carl Lindberg (talk) 23:59, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

We'd need evidence that the Malaysian government releases their rights worldwide when their copyrights expire. Other than that, URAA applies whether we like it or not. (And believe me, I hate URAA). Abzeronow (talk) 16:57, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
@Abzeronow Under the Malaysian Copyright Act 1987 17, except as otherwise provided in this Act, copyright in any literary, music or artistic work which subsist in such work under this Act shall subsist during the life of the author and fifty years and shall continue to subsists until the expiry of a period of fifty years after his death.[6] In this case, the author that made the logo has no rights whatsoever for the work they made due to them being employed by the Malaysian Government to do so.

I'm not disputing it is a Malaysian government work. Per COM:Malaysia you are correct on government works. So you'd be correct that it would be public domain in Malaysia if published before 1974. The issue is U.S. Copyright, an emblem is not an edict of government, and Malaysian government could still enforce their copyright in the U.S. (EDIT: Please present evidence that this emblem was published before 1962, URAA doesn't apply to pre-1962 government works) Abzeronow (talk) 17:23, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Please present evidence that this logo was published before 1962. (to satisfy U.S. copyright). Abzeronow (talk) 18:48, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Good luck understanding Malay [9], the logo now is a derivative of that logo which was introduced way before 1962. You must understand history to know that after Malaysia's independence the Royal Malaysia Police changed their logo. n_niyaz 🇷🇺 (talk) 07:42, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
@Abzeronow And what you are asking for is unnecessary because if that was really necessary why would {{PD-Malaysia}} exist? n_niyaz 🇷🇺 (talk) 07:43, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
It is necessary because Wikimedia Commons has its servers in the United States, and therefore must obey U.S. copyright law. PD-Malaysia exists because we as a community have also decided to honor copyright laws of countries of origin. (EDIT: Concerning Malay, I can use google translate on .pdf text, it's not perfect but adequate. Thanks for the link) Abzeronow (talk) 16:02, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

I note that the logo has the word "Malaysia" on it, so it was not created much before the creation of the country, which was in 1963. The law calls for copyrights of works created anonymously (which has not been proven here) to have a copyright for 60 years after first publication. Since the URAA date is 1996, any work first published after 1935 has a USA copyright. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:21, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

COM:Malaysia notes that before the 1987 law, copyright terms were:
" General term: Author's life + 25 years
   Anonymous, pseudonymous, or posthumous works: Publication + 25 years
   Cinematographic works: Publication + 25 years
   Photographic works: Publication + 25 years
   Sound recordings: Publication + 25 years
   Broadcasts: Broadcast + 25 years
   Works of legal bodies: Publication + 25 years"
So Government or anonymous works published before 1962 are public domain (1987 law extended copyright but did not put expired works back into copyright.) From 1962 to 1973, government or anonymous works published are PD, but are restored by URAA. 1974 and after, still in copyright. Abzeronow (talk) 20:56, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

File:Rory Amon MP, Member for Pittwater.jpg

Hi, This file should be undeleted - The deletion process was accelerated and the issue is one of metadata and permissions. Permission (which is granted under the Governemnt of New South Wales, Parliament of New South Wales) should have been referenced to Parliament's permission page rather than the permission page of the Government's master site.

This is a minor issue and should have been corrected rather than the image deleted.

Ping @ErgonomicMinder: Where does the Creative Commons CC-BY-3.0 license come from? The parliament's web page says "Unless otherwise indicated, you may copy, distribute, display, download and otherwise deal with the material on this website (apart from any third party material), on the condition that such use is not for the purpose of advertising, satire or ridicule, or to misrepresent members of Parliament" and modification is not allowed. Thuresson (talk) 19:32, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
Hi @Thuresson, It comes from the New South Wales Government's overarching CCBY4 licence provided for in https://www.nsw.gov.au/nsw-government/copyright . That licence applies to all Departments and Agencies, including the Department of Parliamentary Services. ErgonomicMinder (talk) 03:04, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
@ErgonomicMinder: the copyright policy you are citing is for the domain https://www.nsw.gov.au/ and it only covers that website, not others. Each department (or more specifically website) of the NSW State has its own copyright policy. For example:
As pointed out by Thuresson the copyright policy of https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/ has no free license as it disallows derivative works. Günther Frager (talk) 04:29, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
Also oppose undeletion, per Thuresson. https://www.nsw.gov.au/nsw-government/copyright is only for content on "www.nsw.gov.au", not subdomains. Reason why each subdomain has its own copyright statement. Bidgee (talk) 04:40, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

File:NASA FIRMS 2024-10-12 Akhtubinsk.png, File:NASA FIRMS 2024-10-12 Kirovske.png, File:NASA FIRMS 2024-10-12 Borisoglebsk.png

The files are screenshots of NASA FIRMS imagery from https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/. In general, Wikimedia permits screenshots of NASA graphics. Specifically, from the website the FAQ-link at the bottom of the page leads to this FAQ (at earthdata.nasa.gov) : "Are there any restrictions on using data or imagery from FIRMS?" (my boldfacing) with this answer: "NASA supports an open data policy and we encourage the appropriate use of data and graphics from FIRMS; when doing so, please take a moment to make sure you get the correct citation—see the Citation Policy. Please also read the LANCE Disclaimer and the About FIRMS web page" (The FAQ answer contains four links that I have inserted here, the first and last leads to 404s). Apart from NASA encouraging the use of FIRMS graphics, the answer does not impose any limits relevant to Wikimedia nor does the answer including the links about citation and disclaimers mention any third party copyright holders. Additionally, searching earthdata.nasa.gov for the phrase "open data policy" (of the 404-link) leads to this page: Data and Information Policy that also does not mention third party copyright holders nor places limits relevant to Wikimedia. As such I think the Speedy Deletion request and its execution was a misunderstanding. Yesterday on my talk page I did present the above argument to the deletion requester Nyuhn (and the admin Yann who executed the deletion), but did not hear from them. Lklundin (talk) 10:28, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

The problem is that FIRMS uses imagery provided by ESRI, which is a commercial entity. While the NASA data is free from copyright, the underlying maps are not freely licensed (https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=898f58f2ee824b3c97bae0698563a4b3). Frankly, this calls into question most, if not all, the items in Category:FIRMS imagery, and I'd like to see others weigh in on this. — Huntster (t @ c) 17:04, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
This is pretty much the point of the original deletion request, as per a web-site not at NASA, but pointed to by NASA. However, NASA specifically specifies imagery from FIRMS in their FAQ that encourages use of their service (and makes no mention of third party copyrights). That there is a claim regarding a third party (Esri) on an external web-site should not take precedence over what NASA says about their service on their own web-site. As for the Esri information on the external web-site, this could well relate to contractual terms between NASA and Esri, but this would have no effect on the relation between NASA as a distributor of data and graphics from their web-site and Wikimedia as their user. Lklundin (talk) 18:25, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
There would have to be a specific agreement between NASA and Esri, and it's my belief that we would need evidence of such. NASA alone cannot unilaterally release commercial material into the public domain. Esri has a clear claim on the imagery and, unless there is evidence to the contrary, we should respect that. I will say, purely anecdotally from speaking to a number of them, that NASA officials have very little clue about copyright issues, even those individuals in positions that should. But, this is why I ask for additional input on this matter. — Huntster (t @ c) 19:56, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
We can hopefully agree that this discussion exists to ensure that Wikimedia does not become liable for copyright infringement for the redistribution of the NASA-hosted imagery from FIRMS? Luckily, that question is answered beyond any doubt by the fact that our template {{PD-USGov-NASA}} states 'NASA copyright policy states that "NASA material is not protected by copyright unless noted"' together with the NASA-hosted FAQ 'Are there any restrictions on using data or imagery from FIRMS? (my boldfacing) and its answer mentioning no third party copyright holders. As for the speculation regarding the relationship between NASA and Esri, we are covered by the NASA disclaimer + FAQ and we would do a disservice to Wikimedia (and to NASA) if we were to let us be guided by anyone's assumptions on what contracts NASA has with third parties such as sub-contractors (and on NASA's competence in entering such contracts).

File:Ilya Anisimov.jpg

Hello VRTS,
The photo of Ilya Anisimov was created in 1896, which was 128 years ago.
Ilya Anisimov’s friend in Moskow - I. Kurbanov was photographer and creator of Ilya Anisimov.jpg
Ilya Anisimov’s friend, the photographer I. Kurbanov had died in 1905, in Moscow, Russian empire.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ilya_Anisimov.jpg
This information was provided by Ilya Anisimov’s granddaughter, Margarita Anisimova.
On 10/16, Ilya Anisimov’s granddaughter, Margarita Anisimova sent an email to OTRS (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org)
I would like to ask you to undelete this image and keep it under licensing: pd-old-70 Thank you!
Boxes12 (talk) 15:41, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

@Boxes12: You declared at upload that Margarita Anisimova is the photographer. Now you claim that the photographer died more than 70 years ago (PD-old-70). Providing false or incorrect information means that we cannot rely on your statements. The phot may be PD-old-assumed if created more than 120 years ago, but we need an evidence of this. I suggest to provide such evidence to VRT team in the proces that has already been started. Ankry (talk) 02:41, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Ankry,
The only reason that I declared Margarita Anisimova as the photographer is because she wrote to me via email that she edited it and made changes from the original.
Because she edited the photo, I thought she qualified as author. She wrote to me in her email that the original photo was created in 1896, by Ilya Anisimov’s friend in Moscow - I. Kurbanov, who died in 1905, in Moscow, Russian empire.

@Ajelku: We need a free license from the original photographer or an evidence of expired copyright (70 years after photographer death or 95 years after initial documented publication). 2D copying of a 2D work is not a copyrightable process so no authorship is related to it. The only author here is the original photographer and he is unlikely to be you as declared. Ankry (talk) 01:59, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
Mylisz pojęcia. Wyraźnie żądaliście autora pliku, a nie autora fotografii, a to nie to samo. Nie imputuj mi tego co nie zadeklarowałem. Przeczytaj dokładnie co Wiki sobie życzyła! Nie wysyłam wam zdjęcia, tylko plik. Gdyby to była fotografia cyfrowa, to może miałbyś rację. Nb. autor zdjęcia nie może żyć, ponieważ miałby w obecnej chwili grubo ponad 100 lat. Kłania się logika.

Images of the Bolzano train station

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

They were all deleted in 2013 after this DR and they depict all the en:Bolzano/Bozen railway station. The building of the station was inaugurated in 1859, so it's obviously in PD-old (designed by de:Sebastian Altmann, 1827-1894), the DR was about the facade, which in 1927-1930 was remade after a design by en:Angiolo Mazzoni (see here and here). As we have already seen in six previous UDRs though (see here, here, here, here, here and here) Mazzoni at that time was an employee of the Ministry for Communications and as such he designed a lot of post- and railway related buildings (see also here). Therefore it's a work for hire (it'd be so even according to the US law) and even the newest part of the station fell under Template:PD-ItalyGov in 1951. All the works were finished way before 1990, so no issue with US copyright.--Friniate (talk) 14:47, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Images from the flickr stream of Eva Rinaldi

In 2013 I cropped this headshot of Tatania Maslany from a photo of Norman Jewison with some young Canadian actors. I'd never heard of her. I hadn't seen the small low-budget Canadian movies in which she played supporting roles. But, a few years later, in 2016, her career blew up. She got the lead role in the very highly reviewed series Orphan Black. Once she appeared in a well-reviewed series, she clearly merited a stand alone article. Within a year of the show coming out she would appear at ComicCon, and other similar venues, where there were lots of fans taking photos and publishing them under a free license. But, for several years, prior to her appearances at ComicCon, the only free image commons had of her was this one.

I think this illustrates the general value of including free images of actors, even those who appeared in supporting roles, or in low budget films, because their popularity might blow up, at any time. Geo Swan (talk) 16:27, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Eva Rinaldi is a former actress, who transitioned from acting to other roles in the entertainment industry. During her decades in the entertainment industry she took tens of thousands of images of other figures in the entertainment industry. Commons has something over 20,000 images of celebrities she took.

I came across File:Ali_Daher,_Sabrina_Mitwali_(8204920551).jpg, where nominator claimed, in 2019, that it should be deleted because it contained "Personal photos of two unknown people" They made this claim even though the existence of Category:Sabrina Mitwali, started in 2014, should have been a clue she was not a nobody. User:Gbawden restored it, and two similar images he deleted the same day. (Thanks!)

He or she recommended I bring the other similar images deleted that day here, based on a concern over Commons:PARTYPICS.

File:Sharni Vinson Hollywood Treatment Blue Crush 2 (5876535078).jpg
File:Sharni Vinson gets Hollywood Treatment (5876487722).jpg
PARTYPICS has five bulleted sections. Perhaps only the first is relevant here, which says pictures from private parties are not in scope. If the individual has a measure of notability, is the fact that the image was taken at a private event relevant? Anyhow, some of these pictures are taken on the red carpet, or outside a film premiere. I don't think barring the pictures for being taken at a private party is meaningful for a red carpet or a film premiere. [14] [15]

The other four pictures seem to have been taken as part of a press tour, to promote the actress's recent film. Two different entertainment photographers are present. So, should these four images be deleted because a press agent booked a hotel toom for press interviews? Does that make it a "private party"? [16] [17] [18] [19]

I think Category:Ali Daher (journalist) established images of him are also in scope. Geo Swan (talk) 11:00, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

@Geo Swan: Could you, please, elaborate which articles in which wiki these photos (ot other photos of these people) are expected to be used? We generally do not host images of people who are not notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Ankry (talk) 14:46, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

  • Sharni Vinson is an Australian actress. Images of her might illustrate an article about her, might illustrate articles about the movies she appeared in, like Blue Crush 2, or might illustrate articles about various aspects of the Australian movie scene.
  • Sabrina Mitwali is another Australian actress. Like Vinson, images of her might illustrate articles about the movies she appeared in, like Blue Crush 2, or might illustrate articles about various aspects of the Australian movie scene.
  • Ali Daher has been an entertainment journalist, for a long time. I doubt he measures up to GNG, but images of him might merit inclusion in articles about the Australian movie scene. Like the other individuals, he is not a non-notable nobody. Tori Jane, who appears in many of the photos of him, also seems to have a job in the Australian movie industry.

File:Selbstportrait Els Engler.jpg

Els Engler died in Karlsruhe in 1959. A request to the respective Probate Court in Karlsruhe made clear that she had no living relatives at point of death and here deceased sister Helene was named pre-heir. The appointed administrator of her will was the teacher (in St. Märgen) Jospeh Jäger, who himself died in 1980 as a bachelor without living relatives. We therefore conclude that the copyright for above images has expired now and we can display without problems.

 Oppose That's not how it works. The copyright remains in place until 70 years after the death of the creator, so these have a German copyright until 1/1/2030 They also have a USA copyright until at least 1/1/2055.

The copyright did not expire. If her direct heir was Joseph Jäger and he died without any relatives, the state was his heir. That would be the state of Baden-Württemberg, usually administered by the finance ministry (Finanzministerium). We would need a VRT permission from them. Maybe the local museum owning the physical copies could inquire there. --Rosenzweig τ 16:48, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
Ok we will check if a permission can be obtained and records are available. I must say though that I find the procedure rather strange. I understand the necessity of copyright but in such cases, 9 out of 10 times noone will bother and the artist will just be forgotten. There is no commercial interest here and if anyone would actually oppose, the images could still be deleted. Anyway, I understand rules are rules but I really can't see that this is for anyones benefit. Klosterhoefler (talk) 10:21, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
@Klosterhoefler: If you actually manage to get a permission please make sure it is suitable for Commons:VRT/de.
