Egyptian song
I came through a sheet music of an Egyptian song and now I want to upload it here. I don't know a lot about copyright. I would say it's {{PD-old}} maybe. But still is it uploadable? RandomGuy3114 (talk) 13:46, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- If you don't know the copyright status of it, maybe it's better not to upload it. When was this published? Abzeronow (talk) 16:14, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
RfC -- third (and final?) call
Hi all -- the RfC on third-party images published by the National Weather Service has been open for a few weeks now, and activity has died down. Therefore, I'm putting out another call for broader community input.
Whether this call results in any new responses, the next time activity dies down, I'll seek an admin to assess whether consensus has been reached and to potentially close the RfC. But unless any substantial new points or evidence are introduced in the discussion, I won't announce it here again like this.
The outcome impacts a few hundred files currently on the Commons, plus how we handle files from weather.gov in the future. All advice and perspectives welcome! --Rlandmann (talk) 21:12, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
Possible copyright breach with map
In File:Irishtown, Ringsend & Sandymount.png there is a map with photographs superimposed on it - it is used in the article in en.wikipedia.org - the map is from a street atlas of Dublin, either published by Ordnance Survey Ireland or the successor organisation Tailte Éireann. It's described as "Own work" under source, but I'm not sure who owns the copyright of the file in question as I'm not familiar enough with Irish copyright law.

What about the pictures in the category Category:Mireuk Daebul, Bongeunsa? Bongeunsa is an old temple, founded in 794, but the statue is said to be "made out of stone by Master Yeongam from 1986 to 1996". See COM:FOP South Korea, not okay. Any exception for religious statues or else? -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:19, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Basile Morin no exception for any copyrighted landmark in South Korea. CC-BY-SA or other commercial licenses mandate selling copies of artworks, but the Korean law forbids that. That statue, if proven to be a recent sculptural work, should be removed from Wikimedia Commons. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 02:30, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
