Hiding non-free frames

Hi again Taivo. Would you mind crossing out (hiding rather than removing entirely) each revision for File:Stanley Baldwin ggbain.32267.jpg from (and including) 21:55, 30 September 2018 to 22:21, 13 January 2019? These frames were derived from the National Portrait Gallery in London and, because they have credited their version to Walter Stoneman (died 1958), they would be well within their rights to claim copyright for the next ten years. Thanks! AlbanGeller (talk) 00:05, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @AlbanGeller: No they're not. It's the same photo. The entire file and all of its revisions are copyvio, or none of them are. I know some countries/institutions believe their scanning/digitizing efforts would give them copyright perks (IIRC the NPG was one of them), but Commons called BS on that. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 00:27, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

The bottom line is, the photographer the NPG credits the version they themselves commissioned died in 1958, which happens to be less than 70 years ago. The LOC version, on the other hand, is not credited to Stoneman and was obtained by the LOC in 1948 at the sale of the Bain collection. AlbanGeller (talk) 00:39, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

@AlbanGeller: It's the same photo. The entire file and all of its revisions are copyvio, or none of them are. w:National Portrait Gallery and Wikimedia Foundation copyright dispute. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 01:32, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

They're not the exact same photo. One has been copyrighted (and will remain in copyright until 2029) and the other was published without any "known copyright restrictions". AlbanGeller (talk) 02:00, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

@AlbanGeller: it's the same photo. I have eyes. You have eyes. Look at it. It's the same photo, mkay? It's possible the US copyright has expired (95+ years after publication) while copyright in the UK (70pma) may still be enforceable. But it's still the same photo. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 16:08, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Again, they're not exactly. I just (wrongly) retouched the NPG version to make it look as if it was the same as the LOC version. And you should know that Commons policy requires all images to be PD both in the source country (UK) and in the US. AlbanGeller (talk) 16:34, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

@AlbanGeller: It's the same photo.

It is, really, the same photo.

Just trust me on this. It's the same photo. A little retouch or crop doesn't change that. It's still the same photo with the same copyright status. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 16:50, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, but I can't. In this particular situation, it would be best to err on the side of caution. AlbanGeller (talk) 16:53, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Not done. For my eye, it's the same photo. It has plausible license. If you think, that the license is incorrect, then you can create a regular deletion request. Taivo (talk) 11:21, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Termómetro Christin 1743.jpg

Hi, Tavio. I see you deleted this image from the Science Museum of London when they even encourage people to use their material. Can you undo it? HeMaCh (talk) 11:56, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Not done. Yes, I can undo it, but it would be wrong. I deleted the file, because source site was published under license "All rights reserved." They can encourage people to use their material, but uploading them into Commons would be copyright violation. Taivo (talk) 18:50, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Revision deletion 3

Hi again! Would you mind deleting the 04:37, 21 July 2019 revision for File:Ramsay MacDonald (cropped).jpg? I uploaded that (duplicate) revision by mistake using the CropTool when I didn't intend to. Thanks! AlbanGeller (talk) 03:46, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Guide

Hi Taivo. Do you have any suggestions/pointers/advice to give me as I intend on applying for RfA in the near future. I have an interest in participating in clearing the backlog of DRs, and clearing the backlog of files that are in Incomplete files (5 MB interruption) (especially those in JPG & PNG subfolder). Although my account is only 2.5 months old, I think that I’m up for the challenge. 大诺史 (Talk/留言/토론/Discussion) 23:19, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Of course you know Commons:Administrators. Please read carefully recent applications in Commons:Administrators/Archive/Unsuccessful requests for adminship about why people fail in RfA. I see you as future administrator, but 2½ months is not much and you must be prepared to answer a lot of questions. Taivo (talk) 06:39, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi Taivo. After much consideration, I've decided to run for adminship (see Commons:Administrators/Requests/大诺史). 大诺史 (Talk/留言/토론/Discussion) 15:30, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Taivo, I do not understand why do you want to delete this picture. I sent permission from author Ladislav Szpyrc and I think it concern all his works.--Alfi51 (talk) 02:50, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

I contacted an OTRS-member, who speaks Czech language. Maybe we have the OTRS-permission and then no additional permission isn't needed. Taivo (talk) 08:01, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Revent - redundant patroller right

Hi Taivo. I stumbled upon 2 users having redundant rights, could you remove them? Thank you. 大诺史 (Talk/留言/토론/Discussion) 14:30, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

At first, in my opinion neither of them is redundant. But if I think incorrectly and the rights are still somehow redundant, then the rights must be requested in COM:Requests for rights. Taivo (talk) 08:13, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

User:Ck3141

Hi Taivo. Would you mind taking a look at this user's contributions? Almost all of the files they have uploaded seem questionable in terms of licensing and authorship, but that is something which often happens with new editors. However, this editor is also removing deletion/permission tags added to the file pages by others and even removing edits to bot pages like this, this and this which sort of looks like they are trying to cover up their uploads for some reason. One of the files (File:BJYM logo official4.jpg) is one you nominated for deletion, but the DR template was removed from the file's page by an IP and the same IP also removed the DR notification from the uploader's user talk page; so, there may even be a connection between the accounts. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:18, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

I observe him, he's in my watchlist. Taivo (talk) 07:25, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Unneeded Approach

@Taivo: Hi, you could visit my user talk before the persistently destructive-damaging edits to the file https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RighTel.jpg by the continuous reversion. I already discussed issues beyond this file with the other user involved in the deletion process @Wdwd: .... Just take a look at my talk page: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Milad_Mosapoor#Commons:Deletion_requests/File:RighTel.jpg ... Please unprotect the file or simply delete the whole image of RighTel as I asked. Milad Mosapoor 22:08, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Not done. I did not make any destructive edits. On the contrary, I defended the file against destructive edits, reverting your speedy deletion request and fully protecting it. You complained about your safety – in my opinion that's false, at least I do not see any evidence for potential danger. Taivo (talk) 09:38, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

@Taivo: Thanks, I understand your statements but that is my file and I like that to be deleted. It should not be any problems since it is used in no articles at Wikipedia(s). Milad Mosapoor 14:15, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

File:LondonRL9S.png

Why have you deleted the London 9s RL logo?? I even have an email from the guy who organises the tournament or do I physically have to ask him who designed the logo and physically get permission from them to use it on the wikipedia page. WOW if that's the case that's a lot of effort for a wikipedia page and you guys from Wikimedia commons expect people to go out of their way just so a wikipedia page can use an image? Wikipedia pages are supposed to be informative. You know a picture paints a thousand words. Wikipedia shouldn't exist then it's simple as that (if it can't provide relevant information) Why don't you try uploading the logos or images next time and see how hard it is to find these required licenses, because you don't want to end up in court? who really is going to go through all that effort just for a wikipedia page. Like I said wikipedia pages are supposed to be informative. Stop deleting the images or I won't be using this Wikimedia commons things anymore. Getmefood (talk) 11:19, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

@Getmefood: The logo violated copyright. Complex logos can be in Commons only with OTRS-permission. Please open COM:OTRS page and look, what kind of e-mail should be sent into our permissions department at permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. The permission must come from copyright holder Rugby and Music Festival representative. Do not re-upload the logo, because after receiving and processing the permission the file can be restored. As you said, nobody in Commons does not want to end up in court. Taivo (talk) 12:54, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Number of deleted files by user:Laurikainen

Hello! You have yesterday deleted a lot of files that were uploaded by Laurikainen. There are eleven files still standing. I was wondering if you could go to deleted user contributions and tell me how many files have been deleted by now. I just need the number so that I might calculate the percentage of his uploads that eventually can be kept. --Pxos (talk) 09:55, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Deleting categories

Hello Taivo! You would mind to explain the justification to delete the categories Category:Urban decay in Sertã and Category:Castelo de Bode Dam´s Reservoir (Vila de Rei)? Thank you. Greetings, GualdimG (talk) 17:42, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

@GualdimG: I deleted them both, because they were empty. This is one of standard reasons for category deletion. @Tm: nominated them for deletion, maybe Tm knows, why the categories were empty. Taivo (talk) 17:55, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, Taivo, for the answer. The question is why these categories were empty, because for a while they were not. First I create a category named "Albufeira da Barragem de Castelo de Bode" ("Castelo de Bode Dam Reservoir") and changed the categorization of the first 17 files of "Category:Vila de Rei" to "Category:Albufeira da Barragem de Castelo de Bode". Then I had seen that Tm had deleted this change. Next I created the category "Category:Castelo de Bode Dam´s Reservoir (Vila de Rei)" and changed again the first 17 files category from "Vila de Rei" (a municipality in center of Portugal) to this. And now I see that this was deleted again. I think we should follow rules. What am I doing against the rules? Is the categories "Albufeira da Barragem de Castelo de Bode", or "Castelo de Bode Dam Reservoir", against any rule? What´s wrong about creating these categories and then give that category to the first 17 files of Vila de Rei? Is better to the category of "Vila de Rei" have the first 17 files/images about the same theme? I am sorry to make you waste time, but I think these should be clarified. Thank you. Greetings, GualdimG (talk) 19:57, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

I am not sure, maybe you did nothing wrong. You should discuss that with Tm. By principle, there should be a subcategory of category:Vila de Rei for these files, but I cannot propose category name. Taivo (talk) 20:11, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

Question

I fully accept the deletion of but you said something interesting. I'll quote it here: "First publication date is unknown, so no known restore date also." Are you saying that the clock starts ticking when the work became public instead of when it was created? This, to me, seems absurd. It seems an impossible standard to meet, but I welcome what you know about this topic. Cheers, --SVTCobra 00:56, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

It depends on what circumstances the file is deleted. URAA demands 95 years from publication. But if the file is deleted on other grounds, then creation can be important. For example look {{PD-Italy}}. Italian photos fall into public domain 20 years after creation and all Italian photos created before 1976 are in public domain, even if not published at all. But Italian photos created in 1976 or later were copyrighted on URAA date and USA demands 95 years from publication. For architecture architect's death date is important, because architecture is not copyrighted in USA. Some kind of works, for example money, stamps, film posters, postcards and similar are considered published on creation year, so no evidence for publication is needed. But simple photos can remain for years and decades unpublished, so evidence for publication is needed. Taivo (talk) 07:56, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Revision deletion 5

Hi Taivo. If it's OK, can you please remove from view each of my revisions for Margaret Thatcher.jpg between 18:18, 30 July 2018 and 21:43, 7 April 2019? These were test uploads without any intrinsic value. Thanks. AlbanGeller (talk) 07:02, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Not done. I don't understand. The file was last edited on 4th of May 2018 and it has no deleted revisions. The file is cropped from another file, which was last edited in 2017. Taivo (talk) 07:40, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

No, I do not want. This was an important event in history of the file, because it was much bigger than previous versions and it was reverted only 3 days later. Taivo (talk) 08:40, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Right, but I really wouldn't want that revision restored in future. I honestly don't think anything of value will be lost in just crossing out the revision while retaining the comment. AlbanGeller (talk) 08:42, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Deleting WLM winners

Hi Taivo,

I noticed that you deleted the following WLM winning pictures:

However, I cannot find with my best efforts the deletion nomination page. The description of your reasoning is also super minimal. Given that these images have been announced as winner, a little more due process may be in place. Could you undelete, and go through a bit more thorough revision process, allowing the national organizers to weigh in? I'm not asking for any different decision, but a bit more process and elaboration seems fair to me. Thanks. Effeietsanders (talk) 15:58, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Comment I explained the deletions in User talk:Lah sadzik. In addition, undeletion process is going at moment (COM:UDEL#File:Masjidbandarkotakinabalusunrise.jpg, just finished and declined). Taivo (talk) 16:09, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

I agree there is ground for suspicion, but I reiterate my request to follow a more thorough process than you usually do. See also Mike Peel's comment. Also, it may be that the national organizers are able to help with this, as they may have looked more in depth at the various images. Given that the images have been online for so long, I don't understand the sense of urgency. Effeietsanders (talk) 18:31, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Indefinite block for จันทร์ธาดา

This is a sockpuppet, can you please extend their block to indefinite? Just today you created sockpuppet category of จันทร์ธาดา. --VKras (talk) 18:14, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Sockpuppet? And who is the master account? Taivo (talk) 18:16, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

จันทร์ธาดา. What about page 'Category:Sockpuppets of จันทร์ธาดา?' --VKras (talk) 08:47, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

@VKras: . I decided to give the user the last warning. If somebody other will block the user indefinitely, then I will not protest, but I do not want to block at moment him/her indefinitely. If the socking will repeat, then yes. Sometimes in Commons sockpuppets are blocked indefinitely, but master account for finite time to allow him/her to improve in the future.

Revision deletion 7

Hi Taivo. Can you please delete my 05:48, 9 August 2019 revision for William Petty, 2nd Earl of Shelburne by Jean Laurent Mosnier.jpg from view? It's merely a redundant and more lossy duplicate of the present revision. Thanks! AlbanGeller (talk) 14:04, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Not done. I thought more than day and decided not to delete. The version is different from other versions (filesize is smaller), but quality is still satisfactory. It was last version for more than month. I am not even sure, that the nominated version is worse than current version, which has 3 times bigger filesize, but quality is almost the same. Taivo (talk) 13:56, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Can you possibly reconsider? It is lossy, without any tangible benefit whatsoever to the revision history, in contrast to the present revision, which was converted from TIFF using the highest possible quality conversion. I would note that I found the older revision on the web, where it could have been saved any number of times over and over again, whereas the current version was only derived from the TIFF offered to me by the licensors themselves. And, it just looks rather silly to have two consecutive, duplicate revision summaries. AlbanGeller (talk) 14:08, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

"two consecutive, duplicate revision summaries" – this is not important at all, for example look history of file:ESC 2019 Map.svg. Benefit to the revision history – we can see, that version with current dimensions was available not only since end of September, but even in beginning of August. Taivo (talk) 14:25, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

OK. Thanks for elaborating on your decision. Would it be OK though if you deleted the initial revision I uploaded today of Jacques Chirac (1997) (cropped).jpg? Thanks. AlbanGeller (talk) 16:35, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Done. Qualifies for speedy deletion. Taivo (talk) 17:05, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
