Commons:Deletion requests/Image:MacBook Air 1.jpg

Hello! You closed this discussion as "kept" but deleted the image. Which was done in error? Thanks! —David Levy 07:27, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Deletion_requests/Image:MacBook_Air_1.jpg&diff=9698599&oldid=9670812 now its okay, thanks. __ ABF __ ϑ 12:35, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Okay, could you now explain how you determined that there was consensus for deletion? Thanks again. —David Levy 13:42, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Reasons are given enough in the del-req. Just read it carefully. __ ABF __ ϑ 13:49, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
I have read it in its entirety. Can you please cite the rationale(s) that you considered when arriving at this determination? —David Levy 13:53, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
"Delete This is pretty much a screenshot of non-free software, which we delete. These keep votes are starting to sound like fair use rationales. Rocket000 12:20, 26 January 2008 (UTC)|Rocket000" for example. __ ABF __ ϑ 13:57, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
That rationale is incorrect (as this is quite different from a screenshot). The non-free content is not the image's principal subject (focus is on the computer itself), so I do not believe that there is any copyright infringement here (though I am not an expert on such matters). In any event, this issue was addressed during the course of that discussion, and I do not believe that consensus was reached. —David Levy 14:13, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
I await your reply to the above. —David Levy 12:56, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
File:MacBook Air 1.jpg
Restored and pixeliced. I hope this will help you. __ ABF __ ϑ 13:43, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Thank you, but my point is that the unpixelized version (which you have left deleted) apparently is not a copyright violation. I'm a Commons administrator, so my request that you review your closure is procedural in nature. (It would be inappropriate for me to unilaterally reverse your decision.) —David Levy 14:19, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
For me it is and it stays a copyright violation, eg. because you can clearly see Holer Simpson, wich is in fact a copyrighted character. Even if its not focused there is really much copyrighted material, we can not Ignore, sorry. And another thing: please do not change my entrys in discussions. Thanks, __ ABF __ ϑ 14:23, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
1. Okay, then I shall bring this matter to the proper forum for community review.
2. I didn't "change" what you wrote. I corrected the wiki markup to properly display your reply with your specified indentation.
Thank you for your time. —David Levy 14:33, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Ich weiß nicht, ob Du mit Deiner Vorlageneinbindung diese Weiterleitung ({seecat|Amulets}) meintest, jedenfalls denke ich, daß Dir hier ein Fehler unterlaufen ist. Mit den Projektzielen hat diese Weiterleitung rein gar nichts zu tun.

Ich mache soetwas hundertfach (“Artikel” → Kategorie und vice versa), weil es schlichtweg benutzerfreundlich ist. Bitte sei doch so nett und stelle Amulett wieder her. --Mattes 08:49, 4 February 2008 (UTC) P.S. Das hier wäre für Dich evtl. auch interessant: Template talk:Project scope/de

File:Computerra-cover-705.jpg undelete request

Hi there,

My name is Ilya Schurov, I'm an editor of Computerra Weekly, contributor in Russian Wikipedia and admin of Russian Wikibooks. We (Computerra) have posted this image to Flickr some time ago under CC BY-SA mostly to allow it's usage in Wikipedia. (We use this Flickr account to host images to show them in our blog http://inside.computerra.ru/, as you can see). Now I noticed that Wikipedia still uses our fair-use image and decided to move this image from Flickr to the Commons.

I confirm that this image was posted to Flickr by Computerra staff (actually, it was Vladimir Guriev, editor-in-chief that days) after we get permission from the author of this cover (Victor Zhizhin) to do so.

Please, restore the image.

Ilya Voyager 15:58, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

No, its a copyrighted cover. abf /talk to me/ 16:00, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Yes, it's copyrighted. And we (Computerra Weekly) as copyright holder posted it to Flickr under CC BY-SA. (You can see the link from our blog to this image.) So it's free. What kind of confirmation that it was posted to Flickr by Computerra should I give? Isn't a link from inside.computerra.ru (our editorial blog) enough? Ilya Voyager 16:15, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
I can not read that please send a written permission to OTRS. Regards, abf /talk to me/ 19:36, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Hello Ilya and ABF, I think, it's the best way, to write a mail to OTRS. At Flickr, you could'nt see, if this user really have the right, to give this picture free (just like here, because Usernames here and there are anonymous). Greetings -- Ra'ike T C 07:01, 5 February 2008 (UTC)==
Yes, I see. I though it will be enough to link from our blog and my statement here. OK. There's another problem with that file -- I'm not sure we have copyright on the image of F1 bolid (checking it now to be sure), so I've asked for permission and uploaded another one cover (Image:Computerra-cover-706.jpg) which is 100% ours. Appropriate OTRS ticket notice have been added by User:Putnik who have OTRS access. If we have copyright for F1 bolid image, I'll ask for restoring the image under consideration again. (I have permission for it on OTRS too now). Thank you for your help. Ilya Voyager 14:07, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Hallo ABF,

beim oben genannten Bild hast du {{no source since/en|month=February|day=1|year=2008}} eingetragen. Als ich 2005-07-08T20:28:10 das Bild hochlud, trug ich als Lizenzbaustein {{GFDL-self}} ein. Zum damaligen Zeitpunkt dachte ich, es sei damit wohl eindeutig, dass ich der Urheber dieses Bildes sei. Daher war ich doch sehr erschrocken darüber, dass du dieses Foto wegen angeblich fehlender Quellenangabe zum Löschen gekennzeichnet hast. In der Zwischenzeit habe ich ich die Vorlage {{Information}} eingefügt und vollständig ausgefüllt.

Solltest du nochmals Fotos von mir entdecken, bei denen ich ausschließlich {{GFDL-self}} eingetragen habe, bedenke bitte: Bei allen dieser Bilder handelt es sich um eigene Fotografien von mir, [[User:Ludger1961|ludger1961]], bevor du dort nochmals {{nosource}} einträgst. Für das Datum kannst du davon ausgehen, dass ich die Fotos im selben Kalenderjahr aufgenommen habe, in dem ich sie dann zumeist kurz darauf in die commons hochgeladen habe. Die Bildbeschreibung geht auch eindeutig aus den von mir gewählten Dateinamen hervor.

Gruß, --ludger1961 22:05, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Travelator

Sorry I haven't been able to get back to you until today. Knowing that travelator was the contribution to be deleted leaves me less perplexed, I had thought that it was an upload of mine that was out of scope, but with a greater resolve to dispute its deletion.

Beginning first with your concerns that such a contribution was out of scope. The scope of Commons is to be a "media file repository", but for what purpose is a repository if it cannot be used. To have any purpose users must be able to easily find files they want within the repository and to find the correct category to categorise the files they upload to Commons; and it was in trying to find a category for a file in the backlog of uncategorised images that lead to the creation of the "travelator" category.

It may be a bit rich of me to complain that at present Commons is a bit too Anglo particularly US-centric, but the category title Moving sidewalks is practically useless to anyone who is not American. Such machines are normally referred to as "Travelator" in the UK (google the term, and you'll find that everyone from the BBC to bloggers uses the term.) With a little head scratching I would have thought of :Category:Moving walkway (another category you might wish to delete if your reasoning is to prevail), but not even under the threat of the gravest torture would I have thought of "moving sidewalk". Only by searching for "Travelator" on en:Wikipedia was I lead to the "Moving sidewalk" category.The redirect I created (and unless I formatted it wrong the destination of the redirect was to the category and not the gallery), was to follow the common sense Wikipedia policy of creating redirects of valid and logical search terms to the appropriate articles. A policy that if Commons does not endorse it should. For one thing as a repository for all Wikipedias, English and American English may not be the first language of contributers, and for a second Commons uses an internal naming convention which fits its an internal logic, but which is out of kilter with common and normal use. For example another redirect I've created is PLAAF the common and usual term for what by Commons naming logic has to be called Air Force of China.

If such redirects are indeed outside the scope of Commons, than there are a number that I've created that will need to be deleted, but know that all such redirects that I've created were done so to ease navigation to the desired categories by users.

Thanking you for your time. KTo288 08:41, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I am not an expert in what you mean. Sorry. abf /talk to me/ 11:49, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Let me try and explain. It should be no problem to accept that a common subject may be known by different names in different languages. For example a "Moving sidewalk" is known as "Fahrsteig" in German. However even in English the same thing may be known by different terms depending on where the speaker comes from. For example the term sidewalk is the term that an English speaker from the United States would use to describe what an English speaker from the United Kingdom would call a "pavement". A pavement in the United States in actual fact being the part of the road on which the vehicles drive. It would not be immediately obvious to a user from the US what a category titled "Pavement" would involve, and it would not be immediately obvious for a user from the UK looking for what he understands to be a pavement to enter "Sidewalk". (The Pavement category as it stands is at the moment quite confused seemingly encompassing both usages.)
Because of the nature of the Wikipedia projects, American useage of English is the defacto standard, with English English use being marginalised. Now English English users on Wikipedia have less to complain about than say Japanese users or German users, but some category names makes Common less useful to people who do not speak American English than it otherwise would be. Unless users can find the images they want and the categories they want then Commons is not serving its purpose as a tool for all the Wikipedia projects that is all the different language versions of Wikipedia and not just the English wikipedia.
It would be disruptive and counter productive to rename categories into a version of English to suit ones own preferences, but it should be tolerated that a redirect from one common useage to the existing commons category. For example when creating the category Austrian Air force I also created Österreichische Luftstreitkräfte so that a German speaker searching for "Österreichische Luftstreitkräfte' would be led to the category he or she was seeking. According to your rationale for the deletion of "Travelator", Österreichische Luftstreitkräfte would be a nonsense category as it contains no gallerys or files and does nothing but redirect to "Austrian Air Force". However it is in its value as a navigation tool for users, and that was the value of Category:Travelator for UK English speakers looking for files that belong in Category:Moving sidewalks, but not knowing that that was the term being used on Commons.

Hi there! Please tell me, what I did wrong.. I uploaded twice two images, which you have deleted every time.. First I thought, I chose the wrong licensing, but after I changed it, you did it again. It were two album cover images, which I was allowed to publish, because I am one of the members of the organization, which owns the copyrights for these covers. So please tell me, who should do it then, if not me.. Thanks a lot. The image file names were> Behind_the_wall_GR.jpg and Under_one_flag_GR.jpg --Sadlo 15:19, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I thought it wouldn't be wikipedia, who tells whether or not it can be published. I thought, if the copyrightholder says it is okay to publish the images and it is okay to release them for public use, then there is nothing else in the way. Obviously I was very wrong...

If I shoot a photograph of my house, which I built, do I have the copyrights of such picture? I bet I do... And because now the photograph is copyrighted it cannot be published. Am I right? So then where are all the other published pictures from? I seem to run in circles... please, help me out. If I - as the copyright holder of those two little pictures - release those damn two little pictures for public use on Internet, is that against the rules? I seem to misunderstand something... Thank you for your polite answer. Hopefully we find some reasonable solution finally...--Sadlo 18:40, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Travelator

From your lack of interest and response I take it that you wish to ignore me and sweep things under the carpet. I think that your attitude and the way that you are acting is high handed and contemptible, cowardly even.

From the speed and confidence that you acted in deleting my contribution and the stridency of the warning on my talk page I believed that my contribution must have been mistaken in the extreme. I have gone out of my way to explain myself in some depth. This not being helped by the fact that you did not have the curtesy to make known, when you were defaming me on my talk page, what it was you found at fault and was set to delete. From the way you have avoided addressing my expalnation and your own admission that you are not an expert on this matter I believe that is you not I who needs to explain and justify his actions. I therefore demand from you, with the same alacrity you used in deleting, action in settling this matter in either of the following ways:

i) Showing me the deletion log of at least one similar case by an administrator other than yourself prior to your action. That is to show me a precedent that redirects of a common and logical search term to a category following a different naming convention should be deleted. If you can do this I will accept the deletion and your judgement in the matter.

ii) Strike out the "Out of scope" warning on my talk page, and I do mean strike out and not delete, and underneath it admit that you were hasty and mistaken in using this warning. I would also appreciate it if you would personally restore the deleted contribution and an apology for using the word "nonsense" in the deletion log.

You can of course ignore my demands, and archive this thread without responding, in which case I will strive to seek redress in whatever way Commons allows. KTo288 23:22, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Listen, my dear friend, the text "This category is being or has been relocated." On a GALLERY (NOT a Category) page is nonsense, IMHO. The secat template is made for categorys. If you want to feel free to redirect the page to another Gallery page. The syntax for it is #REDIRECT [[NAME]]. If you have got any REAL idea why a 'secat' template should be used in a gallery-page please tell me and we can talk about restoration. Regards, abf /talk to me/
There is a gallery called Moving sidewalk there is also a category called Category:Moving sidewalks. Therefore the use of the seecat template as a redirect to Category:Moving sidewalks is perfectly legitimate. And even if I was mistaken and left an "s" out, I'm not sure that I have or have not, I'll have to go and have a look, that was something that could easily be fixed if a mistake had been made. It would have been even easier to fix if you had included in your warning what the offending edit was rather than does jumping to paste the "Out of scope" warning on my talk page. And even if a mistake had been made how is it "Out of scope".KTo288 14:52, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Had a look and "seecat|Moving sidewalks" was used, the "s" was not missed out and the category would have redirected to Category:Moving sidewalks. KTo288 14:56, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Okay as this? abf /talk to me/ 14:59, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
This could have been easily done, if with your warning, you had made clear at the time what it was that needed to be corrected and dealt with. To be honest its not so much the Travelator redirect that is bugging me so much as having to face the "out of scope" warning on my talk page, if you agree to strike it from my page and that my efforts were not "out of scope" but a mistake in formatting a redirect, than I will accept any change of words that reflect this and any censure that accompanys it, and hopefully that will end the matter.

Hallo ABF, please restore the page about this bridge; I have now uploaded the pictures. - thanks and greetings --44penguins 14:32, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Range block

Yes I agree. It is sad to have to block someone who may not understand but as they appear to write in English they should be able to read the warnings. I guess rangeblocks should be avoided but in this case it looks ok to me. I wouldn't block for any longer than you have to though. Thanks & regards --Herby talk thyme 16:52, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Hallo, wieso hast du das o.g. Bild gelöscht ? Die Copyrightrechte waren gesichert. Ich habe es mit Genehmigung der Nationalparkverwaltung veröffentlicht.

Suppression of an image

Hello,

I'm highly unhappy that you suppressed this image : http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Image:500px-Basic_human_anatomy_labeled_LT.jpg

As I understand that the copyright was not exactly adequate for a use on commons, it appears ok to use this image on fr.wikipedia.org.

Can you, please, undelete this image to allow a transfer of it on fr.wikipedia, where I will use it ? Thanks a lot. MaCRoEco 02:14, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, but no Commons-Admin will ever restore a Image incompatible to COM:L. abf /talk to me/ 09:34, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
OK, but can we move this image to en.wikipedia.org and fr.wikipedia.org , without keeping it in Commons ? MaCRoEco 16:36, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Yes, if fair use is allowed there. Then loock for a source and move it there. abf /talk to me/ 17:01, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Ok. I'm really sorry to bother you, but I don't have anymore the image ; and there was a text with the image here on commons that was describing the source. Can you find a way to move this image to fr.wikipedia.org, or send it to me by email, or anything else. Pleeease. MaCRoEco 23:58, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Move it quickly. You have got one day. abf /talk to me/ 12:31, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Apparently you have removed this image. If it is the image I think it is (and of course I cannot tell, because you have removed it), I recently uploaded it to replace a non-free image. I went to a lot of trouble to find it. It was an original photograph and the photographer released it to the public domain. What is going on here? 72.95.129.202 16:22, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

es ist aber ein Lichtbild davon und das Lichtbild (das eine zusätzliche lizenz benötigen würde) ist leider keine 3600 Jahre alt. Grüße, abf /talk to me/ 15:11, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Wäre mir neu, ich hoffe, dass du damit einverstanden bist, dass ich es jetzt erstmal durch die diskussion jage. Grüße, abf /talk to me/ 15:14, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Danke. Und natürlich braucht PD-Art keine eigene Lizenz des Fotografens, das ist ja gerade der Sinn dieser Lizenz. Durch die Reproduktion einer zweidimensionalen Vorlage entsteht kein eigenes Urheberrecht des Fotografens. Siehe Template:PD-Art --h-stt !? 15:18, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Abf - bitte kümmere dich um die Lizenzen. Dann passiert dir sowas nicht. 2-Dimensionale Abbildungen von PD-Art-Werken sind immer frei. Und das ist eine 2-Diemsnsionale Bbildung. Ich habe das Ganze jetzt beendet, eine andere Version mit Datenquelle habe ich zudem noch hochgeladen. Marcus Cyron 19:24, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Image:Hyakinthos.jpg

Hi,

Do you have an explanation for [2]? There is no source for this photo (photographer? credit?), so it is actually fair use and should be considered for speedy deletion. Bibi Saint-Pol (sprechen) 19:12, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Its so old, that it cant be anything alse than PD-old, please see #Image:Akrotiri-fisherman.jpg for a nearly same case. Regards, abf /talk to me/ 12:49, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Old? What is old? You are confusing the work and its reproduction. Copyright is dealing with reproductions of works, not with the works themselves. This photo is obviously recent (color...) and can't be tagged as PD-old. It then has to be deleted. Bibi Saint-Pol (sprechen) 14:40, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
OK, ABF - aber ich muß es dir erklären ;). Was du meinst sind 2-Dimensionale Abbildungen. Leider (und Bibi bedauert das sicher genauso wie ich) ist das ein Teilbild eines Kylix. Und die sind leider in der Form des Bildes 3-Dimensional. Dann ist das leider mit einem CR versehen. Was so etwas angeht, kannst du Bibi absolut vertrauen. Gemälde und Wandbilder sind OK - andere Bilder alter Werke wie Statuen, Keramik etc. leider nur wenn sie unter einer echten freien Lizenz veröffentlicht wurden oder eben wirklich als Bild alt genug sind.

Klar. Bibi Saint-Pol (sprechen) 19:24, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Hallo ABF, Benutzer LambaJan hat mir geschrieben, bitte hier lesen (Baha'u'llah image (religion1.gif)). Daraufhin reagierte ich damit, dass ich einen neuen Version mit den selben Dateinamen hochgeladen habe. Etwas später wurde es auch übernommen, d. h. die verbesserte, neue Version trat in Kraft anstelle der alten .gif Datei. Heute sehe ich, dass die frühere Version wieder aktuell ist. Was nun? Von mir aus kann die ursprüngliche Version weiter existieren, übernehme jedoch keine Haft, falls jemand gegen den Baha´u´llah Bild warum auch immer protestiert bzw. klagt.

You have removed the picture leifbk.jpg. I don't log in to commons.wikimedia.org very often, so I hadn't read the message about the license issue, dated 16.02.2008, until just now.
