Hello Randykitty, please do not tage images as CopyVio in cases like the World Jewish Congress pics. The {{No permission since}} template seems much more appropriate here. --Dschwen (talk) 18:10, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. INeverCry 19:17, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

NSLJ

Thanks for helping to make Wikimedia Commons a better place. You are correct, the National Security Law Journal (NSLJ) is the copyright holder of the two images you identified. I am the Managing Editor of NSLJ, however, and uploaded those images to Wikimedia Commons on behalf of the organization. As an authorized official of NSLJ, I determined that I wanted the images to be available under a Creative Commons license. Is there a better way to indicate that? Sorry, I'm new at this -- thanks for your help. User talk:Ayesnik

  • Yes, if you are the copyright holder, there is a mechanism called [[WP:OTRS[OTRS]] which you can use to release material under CC. However, please be aware that the article on the journal will soon be removed from the English WP, as the journal does not meet the inclusion requirements there. --Randykitty (talk) 18:28, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Journal Chemicke Listy cover page image

Hi, you put the tag with: "This media file is missing essential source information. The author and source of the file must be given...." to the image of the Chemicke Listy journal cover page. However, both author and source was filled. The Confirmation of the authorship was sent to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org by prof. Bohumil Kratochvil, who is the copyright owner, several days ago: [Ticket#: 2017011610010498]. So, please, remove that incorrect banner. R Liboska (talk) 14:35, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

  • Hi, just putting as source that it was taken from the magazine is not enough. Did you take it from the website? And you can put anybody as author, but you're apparently not that person, so you need proof of that. That is what you apparently have done with the email to OTRS. I have not access to that, so I cannot do anything about that. But I am sure that if they are satisfied with your email, they'll mark the page accordingly and remove the tag. Until then, I think it should stay. Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 14:52, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

About deletion of Mahbubul A Khalid

Hi,the page (Mahbubul A Khalid) I created has been deleted for the under the criteria for speedy deletion and considered to serve only to promote or publicise an entity, person, product or idea. This might be happened because of my lack of experience being a new contributor. I strongly believe that the page should on Wikipedia as the person is notable. Me and many of my relatives/friends listen to the songs written by Mahbubul A Khalid and read his poems as well. If I am allowed, then I will remove the promotional material myself so that the page should be on the encyclopedia to provide information. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Augustin Sujan Barai (talk • contribs) 17:33, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of Dino Olivieri page and wikimedia material

I see you have deleted the page about me, no problem i don't need a wikipedia page (i am the artist). But you have also requested the speedy deletion of the original material about the album cover art, etc.. uploaded by me (the creator) from my official website with an express declaration of CC2.0 made by the direct author (me). Again, no problem, there's no need of wikipedia to access my material, people can visit (better) my official website and forget Wikipedia. Anyway, before delete, maybe is better to ask to contributors. But i repeat, no problem, i prefere my public come to visit me on my website instead of wikipedia. So no problem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Onyrix (talk • contribs) 08:25, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

Why do you demand that people add Template:Own to their works even though they have already added Template:Self?

Hi Randykitty, you added a deletion warning template to a file I uploaded and annotated with Template:Self. Why? Template:Self automatically adds a file to Category:Self-published work which is explained as “Each work listed here was uploaded to the Commons by its creator.” So why should I be obliged to add Template:Own to avoid the deletion of my the file I uploaded? --ChPietsch (talk) 14:46, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Deletion of images from Wikidata items

Hi Randykitty,

I noticed that you deleted valid image (P18) statements from items ([2] and [3]) and then listed the images for deletion on Commons for being "out of scope".

Please note that Wikidata is a WMF project that uses Commons and valid statements should not be deleted from Wikidata. Jura1 (talk) 10:48, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

  • Weird thing is, that Wikidata will not delete an item if it has an image on Commons and Commons will not delete an item if it is "used" on Wikidata. A perfect catch-22 situation that permits non-notable (or even promotional) images to linger without any possibility to get rid of the trash. --Randykitty (talk) 10:54, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Have you gone crazy?

Why don't you investigate things before you make speedy decisions like putting a notice up about possible copyright infringement with regard to an image from www.africahead.co.za? I manage that image's copyright on behalf of Africahead. The matter is as follows: I compiled a very useful table about Ethereum token tickers, which could be expanded substantially by others. Wikipedia editors deleted the table and is withholding the important information from society. Publication of the article included use of the image from www.africahead.co.za. If Wikipedia does not publish the table, Wikipedia must delete the image from it's server, because use of it was subject to publication of the article I wrote. Do not delete this post. Mdpienaar (talk) 19:51, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

  • Calm down please. As long as I take my meds, the voices I hear remain muted. I saw what I thought was a copyright violation, tagged it as such, and then an admin had another look and obviously agreed, because they deleted the file. So this was checked by 2 different persons. I don't know anything about the important information on the English Wikipedia that you mention, Commons is independent of enWP. The logo can either be uploaded under "fair use" on enWP or, if you want to upload it here, the copyright holder will have to release the image under a CC license by going through the COM:OTRS system. For the record, yes, I did notice that your username matches that of the administrator of the Africanhead website. However, that is not something that Commons can accept at face value. Copyright is a very serious matter and in case of doubt, Commons has to err on the side of caution. So to get back to your original question: No, I haven't "gone crazy". Perhaps you will allow me a word of advice: you should try to understand why people do certain things here instead of starting to yell at them the moment they do something you don't like. They might have, you know, something like a valid reason for their actions. Commons (or the English WP) are not going to adapt to you, you will have to adapt to how things are done here. So, please, don't ever post angry rants like the above on anybody's talk page again (nor useless remarks like "do not delete this post", this is my talk page and if I want to delete your post, I'll bloody well delete it). Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 07:18, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

Username

"Just having a username that matches the name of the admin of that site is not enough." What would carry your approval Randykitty? Mdpienaar (talk) 17:47, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

  • Why don't you read what I wrote for you earlier (see here)? And it's not my approval, it's how things are being done here on Commons to prevent copyright violations. It's a legal thing and not just a whim of one person. Note that I only proposed deletion of your image. The proposal was checked by an admin (Túrelio), who obviously agreed with my evaluation and carried out the actual deletion. --Randykitty (talk) 17:51, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Mystery Tribune

Hi Randykitty - thank you for your comments. I did see that you deleted the Mystery Tribune magazine image and also noted two comments: One, my involvement in Mystery Tribune organization (I confirm), and second use or pfomotional material in the page.

I will be more than happy to declare my involvement in organization (please let me know how to do so). On use of copyrighted image, as I have mentioned various times, I am the sole owner of organizaion and all its assets / copyrights. So please let me know what form of information required to make this change restored.

Lastly, please indicate what sentences in Mystery Tribune page are considered promotional: I am submitting a dispute to Wikipedia regarding deletion of this page which I consider unfair. I would like to discuss your concerns with them, hence the need for references regarding your comments. Eehsani (talk) 13:17, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

  • Hi, I think you are in part referring to a deletion on Wikipedia, not here on Commons (which are different sites with different rules). What happened here is that I proposed the cover image that you uploaded for deletion as a copyvio. An admin checked and agreed and they (not me) then deleted the image. You may very well own the copyright, but there is no way for us to know whether you really are who you say that you are. The way to handle this is to go through the OTRS process. As for the article on Wikipedia, that really should be discussed there, but in any case, it looked promotional to me an, again, an admin checked, agreed that it was promotional, and deleted it. As far as I remember, it was mainly the generally unencyclopedic tone and the rather clear intent not to provide neutral information but to promote the magazine (which probably doesn't even meet WPs inclusion criteria anyway). --Randykitty (talk) 13:32, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Deleted pngs by Jaka Železnikar

User:Randykitty, User:Ronhjones, yesterday, you have deleted three Jaka Železnikar's printscreen's of his own work, stating that "Indicated author is not uploader".

Please revert the deletions, because I know Jaka is both the author and the uploader, as I've stimulated him to upload his own work. I am going to equip the images with the correct licencing. --Hladnikm (talk) 06:51, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

... or he may upload scans of his own work again, this time under the recognizable user name? --Hladnikm (talk) 15:26, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
  • No, that won't work, because WP would have no way of determining that he really is who he says... The ONLY way of doing this is to go through OTRS (or release the images on his own website under a WP-compatible CC license). --Randykitty (talk) 16:05, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice. --Hladnikm (talk) 17:14, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

  • I am aware of the differences between WP and Commons. Please tell me how the above nominations are in scope instead of simply yelling at me. I have tagged hundreds of files for deletion here on Commons and only in extremely rare occasions were those files not deleted, so I think my track record is pretty good. --Randykitty (talk) 10:44, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
I've noticed. Great. Now we can start repairing the damage. Files only need to be usable for an educational purpose. If, for example, Discogs wanted to add that Tess Fries image to the gallery on https://www.discogs.com/artist/1838363-Tess-Fries we would cater that. It shows what the artist looks like, which is considered educational by our definition. Not educational would be: images that are completely unusable for any purpose (like a photo that is completely black) and spam. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 10:57, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Art & Language images

Dear @Randykitty: , you tagged File:Art language opera 1984 conceptual art.jpg and File:Art language journal mel ramsden 1982 conceptual art.jpg as not properly sourced material for deletion. We are both the owner of the copyright for the works that are shown and the author of the image, and the files are registered as our own work on the licensing template. What is the problem? What should we do more? Can you help? Best wishes, --Art&language (talk) 12:18, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Everything has been already checked and approved by OTRS reason of our unundersdtanding. --Art&language (talk) 12:29, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Dear Randy, thank you for the message about:File:VU leidykla logo EN.jpg. How can we solve this issue? I am a representative of Vilnius University Press. We would like to make Vilnius University Press logo freely usable in Wikimedia commons following CC BY licence. How can we proceed with this? Vincas1984 (talk) 10:04, 30 December 2020 (UTC) Hi, there are two ways to solve this. 1/ Contact COM:OTRS to donate the logo under a Creative Commons license. 2/ Upload it not at Commons but at the English WP under fair use (allowed at enWP but not at Commons). The second option means that the press keeps the copyright. BTW, as a representative of the press, you have a conflict of interest, which you should declare on your user page (both here and at enWP). I assume that Gerrardine is a colleague of yours, so she should declare a COI, too. Hope this helps. --Randykitty (talk) 16:46, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Randy, thanks for your concern (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jessica_Polka) about the copyright of images I have created. If you look at the creation date of the headshot, you'll see that it's a year prior to the "2019 speakers list" page. I provided them that image. Similarly, it seems that pngimage.net has copied the red blood cells image from wikipedia.

Journal covers

I'm new to editing wikipedia and have started with some simple updates to academic journals I'm associated with (disclosing my COI of course). I added File:Evidpol.jpg as a cover image for Evidence_%26_Policy, which you updated by adding

Public domain
The depicted text is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it is not a “literary work” or other protected type in sense of the local copyright law. Facts, data, and unoriginal information which is common property without sufficiently creative authorship in a general typeface or basic handwriting, and simple geometric shapes are not protected by copyright. This tag does not generally apply to all images of texts. Particular countries can have different legal definition of the “literary work” as the subject of copyright and different courts' interpretation practices. Some countries protect almost every written work, while other countries protect distinctively artistic or scientific texts and databases only. Extent of creativeness, function and length of the text can be relevant. The copyright protection can be limited to the literary form – the included information itself can be excluded from protection.

. Thanks for that! I also added File:Global Networks journal cover.jpg as a cover image for Draft:Global_Networks_(journal), but it was deleted as a copyright violation. I had intended to add both images as nonfree content using the upload wizard, but may have misunderstood where to put the rationale or how to use the Template:Non-free_use_rationale. I'd appreciate any guidance on how to do this correctly, or insight into how the two cases differed.Zpneal (talk) 13:53, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

  • In general, if a cover only has text on it (title and/or table of contents), then it is not copyrighted (as the above template says). If there are images, copyright applies, unless there is an explicit statement that it is free to use (public domain or Creative Commons license) on the cover itself or on the web page where it is found. Then a cover can still be added under "fair use", but not on Commons, which does not allow fair use. Such covers (one per journal, not more) can be uploaded on enWP directly. Hope this helps. --Randykitty (talk) 14:09, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
    Thanks - that was very helpful. I've uploaded to enWP and added a nonfree use rationale to the file description.Zpneal (talk) 15:14, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

File:2022 cover Wordsworth Circle.png has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!
