Files you uploaded may be deleted

[edit]

The files listed below, which you uploaded, have been tagged {{OTRS pending}} for more than 30 days. This tag indicates that an email setting out permission to use the file was sent to the OTRS team. Unfortunately, we cannot find any record that such an email has been received, and accordingly the file remains without permission. Unless the OTRS team receives evidence that permission has been granted within 15 days of today’s date, the file will be deleted. If you have already sent the permission, please re-send it to "permissions-commons@wikimedia.org" now. Please quote the file name in your email. At the same time, please leave a message at the OTRS noticeboard so that a volunteer can follow this up. Alternatively, you can contact an OTRS volunteer directly. Please note that this message is being left by an automated bot, whose operator is not an OTRS volunteer, therefore please do not send this information to me, as it will not save your images from deletion. Thanks for your time! Please help translate this message! HersfoldOTRSBot(talk/opt out) 01:00, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Commercial packaging

[edit]

It has to do with Commons:Derivative works and the "copyrightability" of the original packaging. If a given packaging has a simple design with a text logo, it cannot be copyrighted, so it is OK to make photos (derivative work) of it, even without permission. If it has complex designs (such as the ones you are pointing to), the packaging can be copyrighted, and it will be copyrighted unless otherwise expressed by its author(s). Copyrighted material can be uploaded here only if we get a proper permission or the copyright owner publishes it under a free enough license.

The argument "there are other similar images over here" cannot be accepted: maybe those images are not so similar (simple "uncopyrightable" designs vs. complex copyrighted ones), or maybe those images are also affected by the same problem and should be deleted too.

I know that the argument "there are other similar images over here" cannot be accepted to prevent deletion; I meant to state that as merely an observation and to ask a question. Thanks for your explanation. ~Kevin Payravi (Talk) 10:29, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
