Hola, esta foto fue realizada por mi hace unas semanas. En la información interna de la foto, se muestra claramente mi autoria. Pienso que se ha tratado de un error porque en su momento así se lo transmití a @Adeletron 3030. Estoy a disposición de quien desee realizar cualquier aclaración al respecto. Un cordial saludo, --Hard (talk) 07:45, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

@Hard: you cannot reupload the same file under a different name while is it subject of an undeletion request. Günther Frager (talk) 22:27, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
@Günther Frager: , gracias por tu advertencia, que desconocía. Lo hice porque la foto es mía, y cómo alguien incluyó mi flickr en la lista negra, cuando en realidad, la mayor parte de las imágenes que se encuentran ahí son mías, pense que un sistema que evitaría problema sería subirlas directamente. He procedido al borrado de la imagen en el artículo de wikipedia a la espera de la decisión que se tome respecto a la foto original subida a Flickr.

The deletion in question was justified by this reasoning: "From a meuseum [sic] administered by the State of Illinois (works not public domain), PD-US does not apply as made in 1990." However, the specific museum which is used to justify the file's deletion explicitly states "This image is considered to be in the public domain" under the file (see slide 3 of the photo gallery).

The reasoning for the deletion is therefore nonsensical if the non-public domain claim is explicitly contradicted by the source for said claim. --Srekcins (talk) 16:46, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

  • As nominator, my bad for not seeing that. I'd like to see a little more information about who owns the thing so if it can be considered public domain by them, as its made past the 1989 date.

I have the right to use this photo by Anssi Koskinen who took it. It was accidentally left with "all rights reserved" tag, but now they have changed it as you can see from here: https://flickr.com/photos/iff_floorball/51746739569/in/album-72157720288125180 Could I get an undeletion of the file? --Ayntmamiagaag (talk) 15:01, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

@Ayntmamiagaag: the license was changed to CC-BY-NC but it is not compatible with our license policy. The metadata states that Anssi Koskinen is the copyright holder, but the Flickr page is from the IFF. Did the photographer transferred the copyright to the IFF? Günther Frager (talk) 15:24, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
If I've understood correctly, he is the official photographer for IFF and the admin of their Flickr page. If the current license not being compatible is a problem, what is the nearest one so I can inform Anssi about it? Thanks in advance! Ayntmamiagaag (talk) 15:48, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
@Ayntmamiagaag: the link I provided has a list of "good" licenses. I guess the closest one is CC-BY. Günther Frager (talk) 16:00, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Images of the Palazzo Uffici

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 it:Palazzo degli Uffici (Roma), designed by it:Gaetano Minnucci and built between 1937 and 1939. As we can read here it was commissioned to Minnucci by the it:EUR (azienda), which at that time was still a public entity before its transformation into a society for profit in 2000. Therefore, the building fell into Template:PD-ItalyGov in 1960. It was built way before 1990, so no issue with US copyright.--Friniate (talk) 14:51, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

NIOSH has been conducting extensive research work, involving competent specialists from other organizations (by concluding contracts) since the foundation of this institute.

For example, the publication of the institute, posted on its website


DHHS (NIOSH) Publication Number 77-173 Occupational Exposure Sampling Strategy Manual

was created exclusively by those specialists who were not and did not become employees of NIOSH.

In connection with the deletion of the files, I contacted NIOSH with a question about whether the program posted on the institute's website, also developed FOR THE INSTITUTE UNDER CONTRACT, AND PAID FOR BY THE GOVERNMENT, is protected by copyright. That is, the government paid for their work not in the form of a salary, but under a contract. If one of the performers of the work (program "MultiVapor", DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 2010-124C, Gerry Odel Wood) also posted a copy of the work (paid for by the government) on his website, this does not change the fact that he performed the work paid for under the contract, performed in the interests of the institute, which is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and is declared by NIOSH as its own publication - on the institute's website. Please read the response of the copyright specialists.

Greetings:

Thank you for contacting CDC-INFO.

Here is the information you requested on CDC guidelines and recommendations for utilizing CDC content.

The information that is most applicable to your question is in bold text below.

Most of the information on the CDC and ATSDR websites is not subject to copyright, is in the public domain, and may be freely used or reproduced without obtaining copyright permission. There are, however, a few exceptions. Visit CDC's "Use of Agency Materials" Web page (https://www.cdc.gov/other/agencymaterials.html) to learn about these exceptions, as well as the requirements that must be followed to use CDC's public domain content.

Furthermore, the following requirements must be followed to utilize CDC’s public domain content:

1) Attribution to the agency that developed the material must be provided in your use of the materials. Such attribution should clearly state the materials were developed by CDC ATSDR and/or HHS (e.g., “Source: CDC”; “Materials developed by CDC”);

2) You must utilize a disclaimer which clearly indicates that your use of the material, including any links to the materials on the CDC, ATSDR or HHS websites, does not imply endorsement by CDC, ATSDR, HHS or the United States Government of you, your company, product, facility, service or enterprise. All such disclaimers must be prominently and unambiguously displayed (e.g., “Reference to specific commercial products, manufacturers, companies, or trademarks does not constitute its endorsement or recommendation by the U.S. Government, Department of Health and Human Services, or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention;

3) You may not change the substantive content of the materials; and

4) You must state that the material is otherwise available on the agency website for no charge.

Note: Many of CDC’s on-line publications are continually updated as the agency learns more about a specific disease or condition. Occasionally, sites that copy and re-post CDC materials fail to check for updates, which may result in out-of-date information being offered to users. For that reason, we urge you to link directly to our resource documents rather than re-posting. If you do re-post, please check back periodically to see if there are revisions.

Linking to CDC, ATSDR or HHS content should open up a new browser window to our site/page. CDC content should not appear within the original window, framed by the existing site.

This information can also be found on CDC’s website at https://www.cdc.gov/other/agencymaterials.html.

To learn more, these additional links might also have relevant information for you. The CDC website is updated regularly, please check back to get most up to date information. CDC Resources

Original Message---------------

Sent: 10/28/2024 From: General Public Email Address: alexandr.chir@gmail.com Subject:  Copyright - publication on Your site  Question: Good day, good health!

Dear employees of the NIOSH,

Your website contains the results of Your colleagues' work, which are in the public domain;

as well as other materials that may be protected by copyright. Please, help eliminate the uncertainty in this area, regarding one work.

Mr. Gerry Odel Wood has done a great deal of research, which has allowed the creation of the Multivapor program, link

https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/multivapor/multivapor.html

Mr. Nelson, Leidel and Bush have also done a great deal of work, which has allowed the preparation of the document, link

https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/11158

It is highly likely that all of them are not NIOSH employees, but their work was paid for by Your institution.

Can the result of Mr. Wood's work (on your website) be treated as a "NIOSH publication" (like the publication of Mr. Nelson and others),

or should it be considered protected by copyright?

At the very least, the "quick removal criterion" hardly corresponds to this case. Therefore, I would like to ask to return these files. I would also like to ask to suggest how I must indicate the origin of such files (To eliminate similar situations in the future, for example: link to the page of the NIOSH website where there are adequate explanations from competent specialists, or in some other way. I think You know better how to avoid uncertainty in such matters).

Please forgive my terrible English. Thank You for Your assistance, and good health to You. Alexander Chirkin AlexChirkin (talk) 10:43, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose Work performed by employees of the Federal government is free of copyright. Work performed under contract by persons who are employees of a contractor is not free of copyright unless (a) the employee has a written work for hire agreement in place with the employer (this is likely but not certain), (b) the contract explicitly calls for any copyrights to be transferred to the Federal government and (c) the Federal government chooses to make the work PD. For examples where (b) does not apply, see Category:Official presidential painted portraits in the White House. For an example where (c) does not apply, see the Sacagewea Dollar obverse, https://www.usmint.gov/news/image-library/circulating-coin-design-use-policy. None of these has been proven here.

Also note that the requirements set forth by the NIOSH representative in the in the email in the {{Collapse}} section above restrict use in a way that is unacceptable on Commons. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:23, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Images of the Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia

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

They all depict the building of en:Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia. As we can read here (p. 125) the building was commissioned to en:Marcello Piacentini by the Municipality of Reggio Calabria. Its construction ended in 1941, therefore the building fell under Template:PD-ItalyGov in 1962. It ended way before 1990, so no issue with US copyright. The copyright warning now present in the category should be removed accordingly.--Friniate (talk) 11:24, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

This is a mistake -- another AI mistake it seems.

David Steinberg is the subject of the photograph. He is also the person who made the photograph! (He has been a professional photographer for several decades) He is also the wikicommons contributor who uploaded the digital file! I asked the photographer to upload an image through the wikicommons upload form so that I could use it for a wiki article I was (eventually) going to write.

Because I know how complicated the upload form was, I actually did a zoom call with him to help him sign up for wikicommons and guide him through the upload process. (If you don't believe me, message this user to confirm this! or go to the contact form on his photography site )

As far as I know, there is no wikicommons requirement that photographers give photos exclusively to wikicommons. (Indeed, that requirement would itself be a violation of the creative commons (CC) license. In fact, as the original upload can show, Steinberg clearly marked it with a CC license (and in fact, he was already familiar with CC licenses and his personal website also uses CC licenses. Also, his book THING WE CALL SEX explicitly uses a CC license. Idiotprogrammer2019 (talk) 20:18, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose This was not, as you claim above, an AI mistake. Although we have a variety of bots doing various routine tasks, no AI is used on Commons for deletions. This was tagged for deletion and deleted by humans because it violates policy. Images that have appeared elsewhere on the web before appearing here must have the actual photographer send a free license using COM:VRT. This image will be restored automatically, without further action by the uploader, if and when a free license is received, read, and approved at VRT. The current backlog at VRT is 3 days.

 Comment Actually, the copies on the Net are small thumbnails, while ours is 2,592 × 3,872 pixels and has EXIF data, so it is quite possible that they were copied from Commons. But as Jim said, only the author can give a license, so unless the uploader is the photographer, we need a permission via COM:VRT. @Idiotprogrammer2019: And I don't see any evidence that This Thing We Call Sex is under a free license. Yann (talk) 10:07, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for your attention. The copyright page for the printed book THIS THING WE CALL SEX contains a big CC declaration -- that it uses a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No-Derivative Works 3.0 Unported License.

Images of the Casa del Fascio (Florence)

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

They all depict the it:Casa del Fascio (Firenze) and they were all deleted in 2013 after this DR. The building was commissioned to en:Raffaello Fagnoni by the local fascist party (see here, p. 50). The italian copyright law considers the fascist party as if it were part of the state administration. The construction of the building ended in 1940, thefore it fell under Template:PD-ItalyGov in 1961. The construction ended way before 1990, so no issue with US copyright.

Images uploaded by my previous account

I would like to kindly request the restoration of some images that I uploaded to Commons from my main account, Macrobreed. I am no longer active on that account and now use this alternative account. The images are as follows:

These images were deleted for being out of scope. Please refer to Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Macrobreed for more details. I understand that some of the other images I uploaded may not meet Commons' scope. However, I added all images in good faith, either sourced from Flickr or created by myself, such as the image taken on World Stroke Day.

Thank you for your consideration. Macrobreed2 (talk) 05:55, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

What is the educational use of these? Nobody doubts your good faith, merely the usefulness of these images. (EDIT:A cropped and blurred Roy Royalty Hamilton file could be useful, as is too much focus on DWs).Abzeronow (talk) 18:05, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
Actually the Roy Hamilton one needs VRT since it's from Facebook per Flickr metadata and that Flickr account looks like a license laundering account. https://www.flickr.com/photos/196198494@N02/52261708207 Abzeronow (talk) 18:12, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
@Abzeronow, Thank you for clarifying the potential issue with the Roy Hamilton image.
Regarding the two volunteer images, I believe they could contribute to sections related to Indian non-profits, volunteerism and children's education along with related categories.
As for the image clicked by me on World Stroke Day of Dr. Ritwiz Bihari, I noticed that there are relatively few images in the Commons category for World Stroke Day. I thought this image could help add to that, especially as it highlights an important aspect of stroke awareness in India. I hope it can serve as a useful contribution to the category.
However, if you still feel they may not meet the criteria for inclusion, I completely understand. Thank you once again for your thoughtful feedback and for considering and responding to my request. Macrobreed2 (talk) 13:18, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose per argument given by Jim in Commons:Undeletion_requests/Archive/2024-11#File:Assemblymember_Evan_Low.jpg. Günther Frager (talk) 10:40, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose Again, two things go against this. First, this is not a California government web site, it is the web site of the Democratic Caucus which has, correctly, an explicit copyright notice. Second, there is no evidence that the photograph was taken by a California Senate employee in the course of their duties. The presence of an image on an official California site (which the one named above is not) does not make it free of copyright; the photographer who would ordinarily be the copyright holder must be an employee of the state whose job is photography. .     Jim . . .

Erased files with FOP-MX

Hi Yann. I hope everything is fine. I am currently applying a education project in Mexico, with students. I think you erased theses files which were upload by one of those students:

On behalf of the person who uploaded them, a new user, I wanted to ask you to re-upload them.

These are photographs related to information about a mural (d:Q130709848) that is in a public space, a museum in Campeche, as established in FoP Mexico. Also, the photographs were taken by the person who uploaded them. If they cannot be re-uploaded in this way, I wanted to ask for permission to upload them again, with the corresponding template. Luisalvaz (talk) 16:46, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

 Comment I copied this request from my talk page, as I would like to have another opinion. Yann (talk) 10:20, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
@Luisalvaz: Deletion here is actually redaction, the files haven't been erased, they are hidden from the public. I'm unsure if museums are considered public spaces under Mexican FoP since they charge admission. Also, it's unknown per COM:FOP if text is covered under it.  Weak oppose based on that. Abzeronow (talk) 16:55, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
Both the question of whether text is covered by FoP and whether museum interiors are covered are not clear. I might stretch for one or the other but given both questions, I  Oppose. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 17:36, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Uploads by Johnmazik

Johnmazik is a new editor who is struggling a bit with the site, so I am making this request on his behalf.

He has repeatedly uploaded several files from Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Johnmazik.

Personally, I'm seeing two issues:

Notability

It isn't clear if the subject is notable.

Copyright

Both were taken from the musician's Blogspot. The OTRS ticket was closed, but, again, the uploader is struggling with the process, so it's possible he did in fact take the photos as he suggests. The subject doesn't seem to have much press, so it seems unlikely to me that OP is yet another adoring fan making a false claim of ownership. Nonetheless, if we determine that the subject is notable, I can try to walk the uploader through the OTRS process.

Dear Commons Administrators,

I am writing to request the restoration of the file, which was recently deleted. This photo was taken by me in 2012 and features the sculptor Maxim Piatrul. Maxim himself has requested that I add this image to Wikipedia to support his biography and promote his artistic work.

The photo has been previously shared by Maxim on various websites and publications, indicating that it is suitable for use in a Wikipedia article under a suitable license. As I have been granted permission from Maxim to use this photo for this purpose, I believe it fulfills the requirements for inclusion.

I understand the importance of adhering to copyright policies and guidelines on Commons, and I assure you that I have the necessary rights to this image. The restoration of this file will greatly benefit the representation of Maxim Piatrul on Wikipedia.

Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to your positive response.

Sincerely, Dmitry Borovitsky — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmitry.Borovitsky (talk • contribs) 17:28, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Netflix screenshots

I think image 1 complies with {{PD-text}}. It is pretty much the same text (with a total of three sentences), but slightly modified for each of the four text boxes. All the text does is describe what each plan contains, with no literary language. More complicated files have been kept for {{PD-text}}. See:

Image 2 should also comply with {{PD-text}}. The email is very short, with only a total of six sentences, and two headers, that describes the discontinuation of a subscription plan. If it's too complicated, I would like to ask whether I could upload a new version with the body blurred out, only keeping the title.

Country of origin is the US. Note the "canceled" spelling in image 2. The threshold of originality seems to be high for short phrases in the US. See [5], which says "Copyright laws disfavor protection for short phrases. Such claims are viewed with suspicion by the Copyright Office...", and that originality is not a matter of the number of words used, but rather "the uniqueness and value of the phrases as well as the way in which you (and the borrower) use them." (See Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Hillary_Clinton_2016_DNC_Speech.webm for an example of a PD short phrase) FunnyMath (talk) 23:03, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose These both have multiple complete sentences and certainly have US copyrights. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:44, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Like I said, for image 1, it is pretty much the same text (with three sentences), but slightly changed for each of the four text boxes.
You can think of the text boxes as like "recipes" for making food. And recipes are not eligible for copyright according to the Copyright Office: "A mere listing of ingredients or contents, or a simple set of directions, is uncopyrightable"
It's like if someone wrote a cookbook containing a page with the ingredient lists for four different types of pizzas, with only slight changes in the ingredient list for each of the four pizzas.
And it doesn't matter how many ingredients are listed for each pizza, whether it's three, 30, or even 3,000. There is simply no copyright for listing items with no creative authorship.
Also, in the case that the body of the email in image 2 is judged to be copyrightable, I would like to ask whether I can upload a new version of image 2, but only with the title legible, and the body blurred. The Copyright Office also said that "Words and short phrases, such as names, titles, and slogans, are uncopyrightable..."
The Copyright Office also said that copyright is ineligible for "format" or "layout", so even the format of the email in image 2 is uncopyrightable.
All references to the Copyright Office's judgments mentioned above come from Circular 33: [6]
Complete sentences are not automatically copyrighted in the US, so we have to actually look at the sentences and ask ourselves if they are eligible for copyright.
I'm not sure if you have seen the Hillary Clinton example I posted earlier (Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Hillary_Clinton_2016_DNC_Speech.webm), but the following sentence was judged to be uncopyrightable:
"So it is with humility, determination and boundless confidence in America’s promise that I accept your nomination for president of the United States.”
And the sentence above has way more literary language than either image 1 or image 2. FunnyMath (talk) 08:23, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
@Jameslwoodward: FunnyMath (talk) 08:31, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
Also, I think it's worth taking a look at Circular 33 for an example of a recipe that is uncopyrightable:

Paulina Neumann submits an application to register a recipe for caesar salad dressing. In the “Author Created” field, Neumann asserts a claim in “text.” The work consists of a list of eleven ingredients with the following instructions: “(1) puree anchovies, garlic, Dijon, egg yolks; (2) drizzle oil in gradually to emulsify; (3) add lemon, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, Worcestershire and tabasco sauce.” The Office will refuse registration for this work, because the list of ingredients is uncopyrightable, and the instructional text contains an insufficient amount of creative authorship.

FunnyMath (talk) 08:49, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
Welp, I showed an example of a set of 11 ingredients and 3 complete sentences that is explicitly denied copyright by the US Copyright Office. Thus, having multiple complete sentences is not enough to guarantee US copyright. If you think those three sentences in those textboxes are copyrightable, then I don't know what to say, especially considering that the 3-sentence-instruction is much longer and complicated.

This is an official author photo, released by the author (me) under a CC BY-SA 4.0 Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International license. So there is no copyright violation, though perhaps some of you don't understand Creative Commons. Read up on CC before you try to delete it again for this reason.

Gbawden deleted it claiming a violation of rule F10, "Personal photos by non-contributors: Low-to-medium quality selfies and other personal images of or by users who have no constructive global contributions." This is a high quality photo, better lit and higher resolution than most author photos on Wikipedia. It shows the current appearance of a living and still working author, unlike the single low resolution badly lit 2 decade old photo still up on Wikimedia.

Solicito a restauração do referido arquivo, tendo em vista uma autêntica ilegitimidade na reivindicação por sua exclusão, a qual iniciou-se após a remoção de um artigo na Wikipédia lusófona referente à uma personalidade pública. A referida remoção se deu por parte de seus detratores, dentre os quais alguns são wikipedistas. Entendo que todos esses trâmites tiveram por base uma visão parcial da referida personalidade e que, pelo simples fato de haver criado uma página em sua referência, dirigiram-se ataques contra mim e meus artigos e arquivos publicados na Wikipédia e Wikimedia, sendo todos eles de cunho educativo e informacional.

Request temporary undeletion

It seems to have been deleted because it was considered a derivative work. But actually, checking it from the Archive, it does not appear to be a derivative of any particular depiction of Ali. There are many similar illustrations of him with many variations, which are ubiquitous. TheJoyfulTentmaker (talk) 00:33, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

For instance, see this image, which is in the public domain. It is also quite similar to the deleted image, so I think these kinds of depictions of Ali are too generic to be considered derivatives of one another. TheJoyfulTentmaker (talk) 01:35, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
Request: Could we have it undeleted temporarily for the discussion since the Internet Archive is down? TheJoyfulTentmaker (talk) 00:13, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose The argument above certainly has some force, but side by side the deleted image and the one cited at Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Mola_Ali.jpg look very similar. Compare the folds in the shirt and the creases in the face. The position of the eyes is also identical. The image cited above does not have the same similarities. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:45, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

@Jameslwoodward: This quote from page 39-40 of the referenced book implies that some of those features you mention are very common in his contemporary portraits:

Contemporary portraits of Imam Ali also give importance to the face. The viewer’s attention is drawn to the Imam’s face by a light illuminating the upper part of his face, that is, the forehead, nasal bone and cheekbones. However, the iconographic detailing of the face often differs between images to present a variety of physiognomic traits all held to represent Imam Ali. The most commonly produced and distributed portraits, which I call the ‘conventional’ facial type, are illustrated in Figures 2, 3, 12 and 14. Imam Ali is shown in part profile with lofty forehead and wide, a little oversized, eyes with large pupils. The high eyebrows accentuate the size of the eye. Ali avoids eye contact with the viewer and the gaze seems to be directed slightly upwards with the look of a far-sighted visionary, creating an almost dream-like appearance. The face is oval, and the cheekbones round. The lips are full rather than thin. Cheekbones and lips are partly covered by a dark, thick, well-trimmed beard.

Also, actually, I can't entirely agree that the public domain image I shared does not have these similarities. TheJoyfulTentmaker (talk) 01:30, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

File:銀行員時代の太田博.jpgの削除取り消し依頼について

File:銀行員時代の太田博.jpg to undelete.jpg (2024年11月22日 (金) 06:23 CommonsDelinker Krd 氏によってCommonsから削除された 銀行員時代の太田博.jpg を除去。理由: No permission since 14 November 2024. )

1、上記のファイルに示された太田博氏は、第二次世界大戦の沖縄戦で1945年6月に沖縄県糸満市で戦死されております。   撮影された日時は定かではありませんが、銀行員となったのが1938年4月、軍隊に入営したのが1942年1月ですのでこの四年の   間であると思われます。   従って、銀行入行の1938年から数えて86年、戦死の時から数えて79年経過しています。したがって著作権は失効していると考えられます。

2、太田博氏についてのホームページ:https:www.sousiju.com   は私がアップしたサイトです。   このホームページの記述から、1の事実が判明することと思います。   ホームページに掲載されている太田博氏に関する画像・資料は私が、ご遺族から譲り受けたものです。   ホームページの内容はご遺族の話と譲り受けた資料を基に作成したものです。 3、Commonsにアップした画像の作成日付は、撮影日時が不明のため、アップした日を基準にしました。

This file should be undeleted unless a direct VRT ticket was received. It was used on several highly viewed Wikipedia articles (nearly 500,000 views in the last 2 weeks) under {{PD-textlogo}}. Earlier today, this was deleted by @User:Bedivere. I, the uploader of the photograph, never received any talk page notifications regarding speedy deletion, copyright violation, or deletion discussion. I received nothing and only noticed it in my watchlist. As such, I am wanting a VRT check done to ensure this was not a WMF-deletion. If no VRT ticket was ever received, I request this image be undeleted under PD-textlogo, especially since on the surface, it appears to be possibly an administrator error, given I received no communication whatsoever regarding it or the subsequent deletion. WeatherWriter (talk) 06:07, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

No notification? You'll get one. The texture of the sign is definitely copyrightable and you failed to provide proper licensing (which was corrected, somewhat, by another user) falsely claiming it to be a work of the US government. This is easily more complex than, say, w:File:Prince logo.svg. In any case, the texture is complex and the artwork has not been created by a US government agency (DOGE still does not exists as such). As a result this shall remain deleted. Bedivere (talk) 06:13, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
Respectfully Bedivere, I disagree, which is why I am requesting another administrator review this. It was originally uploaded under the wrong license, which was corrected by another users, which you correctly stated. However, the image itself contained only simple shapes, and therefore, qualifies under PD-textlogo. So, if you don’t mind, given the issue with the lack of notification even regarding it, and then the (very late) notification that “File:DOGE Logo as of November 14, 2024.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation” (Key word “possible”), gave absolutely no time for discussion. Basically, this was deleted by your own judgement without any chance for it to be discussed. As an administrator, you have that judgement duty, but given the errors in notification/timeline oddity here, I prefer another administrator to make their own separate judgement call here on whether this should have been speedy deleted (which is what you did solely) or if it should be discussed as a larger community discussion (like DR), or if it should be undeleted. This discussion bypassed your talk page on purpose, as this is a third-party review request on your direct action. WeatherWriter (talk) 06:23, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
Given what you said, this was not a VRT request, so this was basically instant-administrator deletion, which I highly disagree with. A DR would have been more appropriate in my opinion, given this is not a straight-forward copyright violation, but rather “does this qualify under PD-textlogo or not.” WeatherWriter (talk) 06:26, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
No notification was needed. You seemingly wanted one and I gave it to you. Despite that oddity as you call it, you have followed the right course by bringing your request here. And for sure, it will not be me the one who will close your request. I've already made my points clear: this is a clear copyvio, and that's why I proceeded to delete it. Bedivere (talk) 06:28, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
The fact another editor alone disagrees with you means it is nota clear copyvio”, in my opinion. You have made your point and I am saying your point was invalid and wrong, so I made a request for a new administrator to review whether this was, as you say, a “clear” copyright violation or if it is not 100% “clear”. If there is even a hint that it may qualify under PD-textlogo, your deletion action was wrong and it should have gone to DR. WeatherWriter (talk) 06:32, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
You should familiarize yourself with COM:TOO US. Bedivere (talk) 06:37, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
I have. File:Arkansas map by Sean Pecor.png is more complex in my opinion that this file, therefore, it would be below the threshold of originality in my opinion and should be deleted. WeatherWriter (talk) 06:40, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
Given the discussion here, where you seem to be against the idea of someone reviewing your deletion (by your constant replies here, despite me trying to make a simple request of another administrator saying if you were right or wrong), and the lack of a notification before or after the deletion, until I brought it up here, I may head over to Commons:Administrators' noticeboard to notify others to the timeline regarding this deletion. In my opinion, you made a simple mistake, but you also seem to be not wanting someone to review to see if you did or did not make a mistake. WeatherWriter (talk) 06:43, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
I already said I wouldn't close this request. I am not sure what is your urge to have this undeleted. If there is consensus to restore it surely will. Calm down, stop escalating this rather simple request and ultimately please assume good faith. Your last statements are not okay. Bedivere (talk) 06:59, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
This isn’t an “urge” to undeleted it. But rather, I believe you overstepped as an administrator. Per Commons:SPEEDY, you deleted on F1/“Clear copyright violation” grounds. Per F1, “This does not apply whenever there is a reasonable possibility of discovering that the work is public domain through further research or a plausible argument that it is below the threshold of originality.” The shear fact the template was switched to a below the threshold of originality-style template by the non-uploading editor, in my opinion, gives “a plausible argument” for it being below that threshold. I understand you will not be the one to close this and I get that you have stated your points on why you believe it meets the F1 criteria. I already gave my reasoning as well, I believe on why it should be undeleted. That said, I believe this was a bad speedy-deletion and should have been a DR. WeatherWriter (talk) 07:06, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

File:昭和20年8月10日福島民報.jpg の削除取り消しを要請します

This image reports that a collection of poems written by Japanese second Lieutenant Hiroshi Ota on the battlefield during the Battle of Okinawa at the end of World War II arrived safely in his hometown of Fukushima, crossing the sea under the Allied forces' control of sea and air. The collection contained over 40 poems. Among them, the poem "Air Defense Hood," which praises the enthusiasm of the Himeyuri student corps who participated in civil engineering work to build anti-aircraft gun positions, suggests that Okinawa was in a tense situation at the time in anticipation of the upcoming US military landing operation. The Himeyuri student corps, consisting of female students in their teens, lost many young lives in the harsh battlefield while singing "Farewell Song," written by second Lieutenant Ota. Second Lieutenant Ota lived his life on the battlefield as a poet rather than as a soldier and like many girls, he died in the battle field leaving his trusted poetry collection behind in his hometown. https://www.sousiju.com/farewell-song This image was published on August 10, 1945, five days before Japan accepted the Potsdam Declaration. I believe the copyright has expired. I would like this evidence, which conveys the truth of this precious history, to be preserved for the world and future generations as a common heritage for all of humanity. I request the deletion be undone.--Rubicon1215 (talk) 01:17, 28 November 2024 (UTC)Rubicon1215

We didn't have this authorship information before as you had erroneously uploaded it as an own work. And I am familiar with the story of the Himeyuri girls. Abzeronow (talk) 01:37, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
Hello Abzeronow
Thank you for your comment. I regret that I uploaded multiple images without detailed explanations because I wanted to introduce as many materials about the poet Hiroshi Ota as possible. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience I have caused you. In fact, I was the editor-in-chief of the book "Hiroshi Ota's Posthumous Manuscripts" listed on the website below. In order to create this book, I met with the late Mr. Ota's younger brother several times and received many materials such as images, poems, and diaries, including this newspaper article. Based on these materials, I created a homepage and launched the site https://www.sousiju/. If you look at the photo of the presentation ceremony for "Hiroshi Ota's Posthumous Manuscripts" at the Himeyuri Peace Memorial Museum on the first page of the site, you can see me in the back row, third from the left. About 10 years ago, Hiroshi Ota's younger brother also passed away, so I am the only one who has materials related to Hiroshi Ota. I hope you understand that I have reached this request after going through the above process.
I would like to thank you again for your interest in the Himeyuri Student Corps and for your comment this time. We would appreciate your cooperation in canceling the deletion of this image. Rubicon1215 (talk) 04:45, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
Hello Abzeronow
Thank you very much for your understanding. Although it may be unnecessary to add, I feel that I have a connection with Lieutenant Ota in two ways. One is that Mr. Ota was a senior at my alma mater, but of course I was not able to meet him as he passed away in 1945. The second is that I also studied under Miss Anderson, a missionary whom Mr. Ota respected. In the image on the site(https://sousiju.com/irene-anderson), the boy in black school uniform standing beside the boat on the far left is me in my younger days. The exchange of trust and respect between Lieutenant Ota and the Himeyuri Student Corps, and the farewell song that was born from it, are miracles in the midst of war. Lili Marleen, sung by both friend and foe on the European front, is also a miracle song. I hope that people all over the world will know about the heart-to-heart exchange between Lieutenant Ota and the Himawari Student Corps. I would like to thank you for tolerating the mistakes of an old Wikipedia beginner. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rubicon1215 (talk • contribs) 00:32, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
