Hello Ron, I wish to let you know that we own all the paintings. The old catalog belong to the gallery that is close and all are death. If somebody ask for the right we will give it to them and delete the images. Best regards --Luigi Pericle (talk) 22:23, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Is ok now ? Please have a look.. Best Regards --Luigi Pericle (talk) 14:54, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

@Luigi Pericle: There is no way to verify a user with these pages. A user can pick whatever username he wishes. Images of derivative work will need to be verified properly by the OTRS team - see COM:OTRS Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 00:20, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

@Diane Coffey: E-mail link only works for you :-). Your choices...

1. Use WP:OTRS - Get Stockport Local Heritage Library to send an e-mail to info-en@wikimedia.org and mark for attention of Ron Jones, and I'll try to sort it out with them, if they can confirm the date of the publication, that would be great. OR
2. I'll move the image from commons to here, and set it up as a fair-use image (it will get reduced to 279x358 pixels - still OK for your intended use).

Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 18:02, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I have spoken with the archivist at Stockport Heritage Museum explaining the need for explicit permission and the details of the images. I do hope they have replied. Thank you for adjusting theportrait image. Diane Coffey (talk) 18:34, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

@Diane Coffey: Nothing arrived today. I've done the second option as well in case it gets deleted. One way or another, you will have an image. Copy at en:File:Hannah Winbolt 1.jpg. If we can verify the commons image, then I will delete the en-wiki copy. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 19:35, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

I went into the Heritage Library today and all is panic - they cannot find the donor certificate etc for their possession of Hannah's effects so I think the only way to show the images is by fair use though the Library is very definitely in possession of them.Diane Coffey (talk) 19:46, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

@Diane Coffey: Well the fair use image is all set up correctly. Should not be any issues with it. The only downside is that if someone later wants to put the article on a different language Wikipedia, then they probably cannot use the image. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 20:15, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

File:Median Wealth per European adult in 2018.png - please see my reply to your speedy deletion notice:

• User talk:Radom1967#Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Median Wealth per European adult in 2018.png

User:Radom1967 created the map. It is not a derivative map. It is not found in the Credit Suisse PDF. He used the data from there. He did not copy the map from there. --Timeshifter (talk) 16:51, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

recover my maps please

Dear Ronhjones
I have an uploading issue, I uploaded maps cropped from “Free and open-source software” and my work on them was only putting labels indicating POIs and boundaries, unfortunately they were all deleted under the claim of violating copyrights, but the excuse was not so clear as to mention whose copyrights were violated? “Openstreetmaps” is a free source, I just cropped a certain area, put labels and then uploaded them. Please redisplay my maps. I like your strictness on Copyrights, keep it up ! , but my maps were not violating any rules. Earlier Unknowingly I uploaded a map cropped from google maps, and they were deleted because google maps are not free source, so I willingly accepted the action and asked the you “what then is open source acceptable by Wikimedia”? The answer was “OpenStreetMap is a normal alternative” and I heeded your advice but sadly my maps were deleted again. I am so confident that you will recover my maps uploads,
Yours sincerely
Here is conversation with you https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Abu_aamir

@Abu aamir: All tagged by the same person. Have you been making enemies?

First 3 - are OSM, it just needed (ideally) a permission link to the OSM copyright page - done that.

Next two, you should just copy the source/author/permission from the original - done that.

Last one is British Library. You need to find on the BL site where that map's license (if available). BL have all sorts of maps from free to non free. So not undeleted.

For info - if you need to link to an exiting commons image, don't use the url, just add a ":" after the double square brackets and wiki will show the link and not the image...

Dear @Ronhjones: , I am so grateful to you, you made my day, as for the person who deleted my uploads, I do not really know why he did that, my guess is that he deleted one controversial upload, and then he got carried away, it so happened that 1 day later, my account was compromised among other accounts, so I was not able to talk to him thoroughly, but anyway I do not doubt his intention, I like upholding copyrights, and to do so, some mistakes must accidentally happen.

Yours sincerely

File:Judith Linhares, portrait of the artist in her studio 2017.jpg

Hello. This image was removed and I wanted to clarify why. Is it because of the paintings in the background (do they make it a "derivative image")? Thanks for your time. --Mianvar1 (talk) 20:00, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

@Mianvar1: History..

1. Uploaded by Afufefa on 19:44, 2 November 2018 as File:Judith Linhares.jpg and deleted as DW-no source.
2. Re-uploaded by Afufefa on 19:50, 10 November 201 as File:Judith Linhares, portrait of the artist in her studio 2017.jpg and deleted as re-upload out of process (we don't like re-uploads which have been already properly deleted)

I did not tag and delete the original image, that was Jcb. However with 5 pictures in the image, I can see the rationale for the deletion Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 20:38, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Stop sexisme poster Amsterdam 2009.jpg

The cropped version of this file might indeed be considered COM:DM, so I won't oppose eventual deletion – perhaps I should have been more carefull there. The main file I consider legit COM:FOP, especially in the Netherlands, so I replaced the dw-template by a COM:FOP- and a DM-template. I hope en expect you agree – the picture is a fine time picture of protest pamflets in Amsterdam. Greetings, Jürgen Eissink (talk) 17:39, 13 November 2018 (UTC).

Review process

Dear Ronhjones,

As in previous mail, you have mentioned that image that I used for an article I am also a human comes under copyright violation. I have changed the image and put new one which I have designed. I want to know how much it takes to review the draft. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajveer90 (talk • contribs) 05:48, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

@Rajveer90: File:Jasbir-Poster (1).jpg - if you made this yourself, as it's a multiple image, you need to clearly state where each part comes from (hopefully yourself), or someone will tag it as a derivative work - COM:DW Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 16:19, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

I have made this cover page and all the images that used in cover page came from the real pictures that we have clicked in a shoot. There are three people in the cover first one the girl name is Isha, middle one person name is Yazdan and third one person name is Tushar. I think this information is enough for you and you can review it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajveer90 (talk • contribs) 09:59, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

@Rajveer90: No use telling me. All that information has to be on the image page. We don't need the person's names, just a confirmation that you took all the photographs. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 16:15, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I have taken all these photographs. Kindly start the review process. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajveer90 (talk • contribs) 19:51, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

@Rajveer90: There is no formal process for "own work" - any editor can just view and tag if they see an issue. Please add the information to the image page. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 19:54, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

What type of information should be needed on the page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajveer90 (talk • contribs) 20:11, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

@Rajveer90: Just where each part of the image comes from - who took each photo (obviously yourself) - but it has to be explicit. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 22:24, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

I have removed the image from a draft. Kindly proceed the review process. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajveer90 (talk • contribs) 05:57, 20 November 2018 (UTC) (Rajveer90 (talk) 06:08, 20 November 2018 (UTC))

So (ignoring the plaque image) there appears to be two originals and many out of process uploads. Since the images you want have been formally deleted at a deletion request, then you will have to go to COM:UDR to get undeletion of the original files (last two in the list above) - you cannot ask for the undeletion of the various re-uploads.

VicG sandbox

Hi, I have just seen you have deleted all the pictures I published in my sandbox (VicG). I am the author of all of the pictures you removed. They are covers of CD where I am the musician or are picture of myself. I cannot image any violation having published pictures related to me and my job (musician author of CD wich cover are images you have removed). I would like to have all the pictures posted again. So thanks for you cooperation. Best Regards, Vic--VicG (talk) 19:11, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

@VicG: CD / DVD / Posters / Book Covers are normally speedily deleted. Typically the copyright is held by the record/film/publishing company. It is not possible to validate any user claim on commons - as you can use any username, then all editors are effectively anonymous. You need to go to COM:OTRS to validate your ownership and permission. The OTRS team will undelete the images when the permission has been validated. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 20:54, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

@Koheli: FoP = Freedom of Panorama. You can only take free pictures of buildings in the US, not artworks. See Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory/United_States#Freedom_of_panorama. The sculptor had the copyright when he created the article. Because it's the US with it's odd rules - You then need to find out who he was, did he register the copyright? and did he renew it 28 years later? I suspect really difficult!

Deleted Image - London

You had marked the following image for speedy deletion as the source was not clear.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:London_-_Collage_of_all_famous_Monuments.png#filehistory

The source for this image was a screenshot of London's Wikipedia Article.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London

I took this screenshot with the title of the image on Wikipedia "London -Capital of the United Kingdom". The original montage did not have any title. Hence, the screenshot.

I have edited the description to add the original montage link. Please find the original image link for your easy reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:London_Montage_L.jpg

Hi, Could you please undelete this file because after last upload it had new source URL with all necessary permissions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Belle da (talk • contribs) 14:41, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

@Belle da: No. You cannot use a Flickr upload that is LATER than the original upload on commons, that is Flickrwashing. You need permission from the original site (https://pp.userapi.com). Please do not upload again (re-uploads are tracked automatically), go to COM:UDR when you can find permission or use COM:OTRS. Upload here was 19:37, 27 October 2018. Upload at Flickr was November 22, 2018. Original site has a page info of 25 October 2018, 16:47:22. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 16:33, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Okay, got it. It's a bit strange for me because pp.userapi.com is the link to image from original Anastasia Nosova page in vk.com social network (https://vk.com/ramyel). So we just want to add her photo on her page in wikipedia and have a lot of issues here. But rules are rules, okay. One more question, can I upload another image on flickr (not re-upload, completelly new) and then upload it on wikimwdedia? Or should I do something more for this action? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Belle da (talk • contribs) 19:29, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

@Belle da: (1) The other image suffers from a second problem in that it was on Anastasia Nosova social page and is of Anastasia Nosova - I doubt if she took the photo - the copyright is owned by the photographer, not the subject. (2) You can upload on Flickr or here first. The important thing is that the upload with the CC license is the first one and is uploaded by the copyright holder. Both uploads here and flickr are likely to be searched for an image match with the rest of the internet - if there is an earlier image anywhere else then that will be seen as the original, and it's license will be used to decide the image's fate.

File:Kronikat-e-adamit.jpg

Dear Ronhjones, regarding the file File:Kronikat-e-adamit.jpg The issue was that "A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license."

The permission was granted by the author by using OTRS (email was sent to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org), 6 days ago, however, the corresponding Wikimedia section (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kronikat-e-adamit.jpg) still says "This media file is missing evidence of permission."

How can this be solved? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ardit Dush (talk • contribs) 20:06, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

@Ardit Dush: If an e-mail is sent then you need to add {{subst:OP}} to the page. Just done that. Both COM:OTRS and COM:CONSENT tell you to add that banner. OTRS backlog is 179 days, this is the only way to keep the image up. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 20:21, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Sources

Hello, for the files I have uploaded, I added the real source of the coins which is Central Bank of Jordan, but I can't find a page on the official website for these coins as they are old. So please take that these coins are Jordanian ones and the only foundation which can officially make them is Central Bank of Jordan into account.

Thank you in advance. الرشيد (talk) 20:40, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

@الرشيد: I have been looking and cannot find anything that says Jordanian currency is free to take. I'll change it for a single DR so that others can comment. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 22:06, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

@Ronhjones: first of all, where I have said that the Jordanian currency is free to take ?! On the other hand, I have taken these pictures by my own mobile phone camera. The sources of the coins are available on description. الرشيد (talk) 22:21, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

@الرشيد: If they are not free to take then we cannot host them - commons only hosts free files. The majority of countries do not allow free photographs of their currency, but I can't find anything that shows Jordan are free to take, but someone might know better. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 23:05, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

I am not sure this can be called derivative work

Any file that is not created directly by the author, and appears to belong to some company or organisation is a derivative work

How can I make the page visible in the goggle search engine so when I type the person's name it appears. Are you able to explain this to me please?

Which page? If it's a user page it will never appear, they are non-indexed. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 21:50, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Grades of sock abusers

The use of a sock to upload rubbish anew is, of course, bad. But—for comparison—look at a sock abuser who tried to launder a facebook copyvio by stripping Exif off. Nobody reacts for three hours, neither here nor in Wikipedia. Because I’m not anybody like Theinstantmatrix for en.Wikipedians (whose request was granted in a half-hour), whereas some Commons admins detest me for criticism of their blunders. This stupid system makes outcasts from users making petty misdemeanors, whereas cunning LTA with copyvio, PoV pushing etc. come through. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 15:08, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

@Incnis Mrsi: Sadly I did not see your report - not a time I am normally active. I do think we need more admins here, there does seem to be some time periods that are not covered adequately (mind you, same for en:WP:AIV - it has busy periods - Until Widr comes along with his block tool...) - and I only look at COM:AN a few times when I am on, and what's there is usually done. I try to treat all editors equally, I have no pet hates here (maybe a few irritating ones on en-wiki, but I try to put that aside). If you know I am around you can always note me direct.

File:Thelymitra magnifica.jpg

Hello Ronhjones,

Thank you for the very important work you do.

In the case of the image of Thelymitra magnifica.jpg, is it possible that you "clicked" on the wrong link? The source file "https://www.flickr.com/photos/jean_hort/15501023631/" has a CC BY 2.0 license.Gderrin (talk) 23:18, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

@Gderrin: That is not the same picture as File:Thelymitra magnifica.jpg - the Flickr image is one flower, the commons image is 4 flowers. The commons image is further down the Flickr image page, but you cannot get to the file description page on Flickr. The image is at https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5616/15501075181_9990719cec_o.jpg. The trick to find the image page from the photo jpg is to use http://flickr.com/photo.gne?id=15501075181, and you get "This photo is private.". We need to get to the image page to see the license - the license at https://www.flickr.com/photos/jean_hort/15501023631/ only refers to the single flower photo (you can upload that one instead if you like) Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 23:27, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

Harry Broadman Bio photo is licensed in the Public Domain on Flickr and added to Wikipedia Commons

Ronhjones, I very much appreciate the care you exercise on the great work you do on Wikipedia, which I have noted for some time. I am puzzled, however, about the reasoning behind the deletion of this photo. Harry Broadman, himself, posted the photo of himself--to which he owns the rights--on Flickr, specifically marked as being in the Public Domain. It is from that Flickr posting from which that photo was placed on the Wikipedia Commons page File Bio Photo of Harry Broadman, also classified on Wikipedia Commons as being in the Public Domain. It was then uploaded from Wikipedia Commons to the Wikipedia article: Harry Broadman. It also happens to be the same photo Harry Broadman posted on his own webpage, to which he owns full rights and which is also in the Public Domain. I hope this is helpful and that you kindly reinstate the photo. Thanks very much for your kind consideration. ROS21662 (talk) 04:40, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

@ROS21662: I don't know the full history - I was running through the "re-uploads out of process". One is only supposed to upload once, then goto COM:UDR to get it undeleted as it's possible the deleting admin and or the tagging editor may know more information. When an image is re-uploaded then it gets automatically found and listed as a re-upload. We have to do a quick check to make sure it's not a proper undelete, otherwise it tends to be deleted, and the message left for the user to ask at COM:UDR. As far as I can see File:Harry Broadman Bio Photo.jpg was deleted as being a copyright violation of https://www.harrygbroadman.com/hires-photo/ - Since two people agreed it was a violation, I have to assume there was an image on that web page - there is not now, just a link to a Flickr image at https://www.flickr.com/photos/145611268@N05/31294842187/in/dateposted-public/ (although the commons image may have been deleted as it was claimed it was "own work", and no web link). I'll undelete the original image for you, tidy up the license, and get the Flickr bot to add the license review. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 20:16, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Ronhjones, Thank you very much for cleaning up this mess for me! Now that File:Harry Broadman Bio Photo.jpg has gone through the Flickr license review and it is back up on Wikipedia Commons, I gather I can now upload the image to the Wikipedia article: Harry Broadman without any further issue?

@Francesco Lombardi: It's a derivative work - a photo of artwork. The sculpture's copyright is owned by the artist. Italy does not allow photos of public artwork - no "Freedom of Panorama". It's possible the objects might be public domain, we would need to know the sculptor's name and death date. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 22:15, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi, there. I'm the one who uploaded the File:Domenique Heidy.jpg. As the picture was taken in a convention and published in a Flickr account under a public domain license, I thought it was ok to upload it. As I noticed that it had a problem I tried to atribute it a license. As I'm not a heavy user of WikiCommons I don't know if I did well. If you could check it to me I would be very grateful. Regards.--Luiz Volpi (talk) 18:51, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi Luiz Volpi, that flickr license isnt accepted on commons, mainly because its revokeable. Please dont replace it again... thx. --JuTa 19:32, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

@Luiz Volpi: Flickr users don't always understand the designation they use. They "may" mean to donate the copyright as "Public Domain" but then use the Public Domain Mark, where in fact they should have used the cc-zero option. In Flickr the first option is called Public Domain Work and the second option is called Public Domain Dedication {CC0). The "Public Domain Work" means that they believe that the image is PD (very old, US fed Gov, etc.) - this one is not a license, whereas the "Public Domain Dedication {CC0)" means they have the copyright and are now giving away all their copyrights and it is now a CC-zero license. The best option is often message the Flickr owner to see if they will change the PDM to a CC-zero. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 21:20, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying it. I contact them and they authorize me to upload the image in here. I'm trying to follow the instructions at the OTRS's article.--Luiz Volpi (talk) 18:53, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

@Luiz Volpi: It would be easier if they changed the Flickr license - it's a 10 second job for the Flickr owner to load up the image and select the correct one in the drop down box. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 19:36, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

I asked and they apparently did change it to CC0. I, then changed the licencing to CC0. If you could check it, I would be very grateful. So sorry for taking so much of your time with it and thank you for you kind help.--Luiz Volpi (talk) 19:08, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

@Liuxingy: I did at the time...

1. The idea of {{FoP-China}} is for it to put on the image page to assist the reviewers - not done.
2. It clearly says "which allows reproduction of works in outdoor public place if the author and the name of the original work is attributed" - also not done.

So my "the source(s) of the incorporated work(s) is/are missing essential source information" is correct, without it we can not keep the image. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 16:33, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

I have put the Template on the file.And in the last,the Template says"Under normal circumstances, the public can only rely on the annotation of the outdoor art work itself to confirm the author's name and the name of the work without any obligation to verify."And I cannot know the original author from the picture.Liuxingy (talk) 01:47, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Unfortunately, it does not work either, neither at Commons, nor at Wikisource :-( --Jan Kameníček (talk) 22:56, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

May I ask which software do you use for reprocessing the files? Is it free or is it necessary to buy it? I tried some online pdf processing sites but the results are usually not very good. Jan Kameníček (talk) 09:54, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

@Jan.Kamenicek: Trying again - worked. No known free options. I have used Nuance Power PDF Standard - I paid 50GPB for an earlier version, the price has gone up a lot now. It's OK, but you cannot beat Adobe Acrobat - but the DC version is a monthly subscription - the 2017 option is 300GBP (standard) or 500GPB (Pro version). I've recently managed to pick up the earlier version (XI Pro) for about 100GBP as a discontinued version. I've two ways of re-processing the file (A) Let the software optimise the file (I tried a non-standard optimise - that was the last one, did not work, I tried to keep the colour jpgs to 300 ppi. Going for the default 150ppi for a colour jpg seems to be OK for wiki - I'm sure if these PDFs were black/white and not colour then we would be OK. Seems like the 300ppi colour jpg is too much - maybe it's over compressed and wiki takes too long to uncompress it as the PDF with the 150ppi images is almost the same size!) OR (B) - Export all the pages as single page TIFF images then use Acrobat to re-make the PDF - that results in a large increase in PDF size - again suggesting that the original PDF was very highly compressed. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 21:50, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for both optimizing the file and the detailed description of the process, although it seems quite complicated and expensive at the same time. However, I will have to find some solution because bothering somebody all the time is not the best option. I was also thinking about some easy way of exporting the files into djvu, which is also accepted by Commons, but the main disadvantage of this format is that it is not directly readable by common web browsers (thumbs are OK, but readers need some specialized software to open the whole file). It is a real pity that the phabricator people do not try to find a solution very much, although the bug was announced there half a year ago :-( Thanks again! --Jan Kameníček (talk) 22:46, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

Here they are :-) --Jan Kameníček (talk) 23:02, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks very much for all the publications. Unfortunately, it seems that the reprocessing has caused a great loss of quality of the scans, comparing e. g. the original first page of one of the publications with the reprocessed result. It is a pity, but there probably cannot be done anything about it. Thanks again. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 18:47, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

@Jan.Kamenicek: If you think it's too poor then we do have another option...

Example File:The Spirit of Russia by T G Masaryk, volume 2.pdf

1. Original size 32.49 MB
2. Optimised PDF size 32.06 MB - but failed to work
3. Pages exported and joined up - 350.39MB
4. No.3 optimised 87.97 MB - works OK

Adobe optimise works by downsampling colour images to 150ppi (from 300ppi), hence you see some quality loss. I could upload the No.3 versions, I avoided them as they are rather large.

I'll upload the "No.3" for Old_Czech_recipes_for_today's_kitchens,_Czech_festival_of_foods in a while (it's the smallest one I have), see if you think it's worth uploading the big files. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 23:48, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

@Jan.Kamenicek: Any comment on the above? Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 21:29, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks very much for uploading the new version of the recipes. The picture looks better than before, although it is still distinctly worse quality than the original. However, it is only one picture, so I will upload it separately after I start working on this particular booklet.

The quality of the scans of most of the other publications is not so important, as they contain mostly text or simple black and white images. An exception is File:The disobedient kids and other Czecho-Slovak fairy tales.pdf which contains colour images too, so it would be great if this publication could be improved. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 22:30, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

@Jan.Kamenicek: That one is 17MB before "optimise", I still have the file and will upload it now. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 22:44, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

I have just had a look at the newly uploaded version and it seems quite the same to me. Compare e. g. the colour picture in the 12th page of the uploaded file with the original. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 23:37, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

@Jan.Kamenicek: Careful - you are comparing a reduced PNG made from the PDF page passing though GhostScript with the original image you see in a PDF application - remember wiki cannot display a PDF directly. I've used GhostScript on a PC in the past, it's not a perfect application. I extracted that page as a TIFF from the last upload and from the original and compared in Photoshop - they are so close, if anything there is a very tiny improvement on contrast in the latest upload, but all the daetail is the same.Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 01:42, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

So does it mean that the file is OK but Wiki displays it with reduced quality? If this is the case it seems to me as another unpleasant bug connected with PDFs uploaded to Commons. I am not familiar with the Wiki software but I always thought there should not be a problem to display it as well as other sites (such as archive.org) do :-( --Jan Kameníček (talk) 07:29, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

@Jan.Kamenicek: The image I see on the file page is a 423 × 599 pixels PNG, you can click the alternative sizes listed under it up to 873 × 1,237 pixels, which is much better - you can't reduce an image by 50% without losing some quality. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 15:25, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

I do not mean the picture as it is seen at the file page, I mean the picture as I see it after opening the file: it looks much worse than the original picture :-( --Jan Kameníček (talk) 21:29, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

I looked at that comparison as I said above - I see minimal changes, I think there is a very slight contrast increase. I've taken page 12 out of the original and out of a re-downloaded final version and put them side by side at File:The disobedient kids and other Czecho-Slovak fairy tales Page12 Compare.tif. Can you describe the issue you see? Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 22:15, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

The two pictures you provided for comparison really look more or less the same, so I uploaded another comparison picture where you can see a) printscreen from the uploaded file after opening it in full resolution and b) printscreen from the original pdf. The loss of the quality is really visible here. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 13:14, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

@Jan.Kamenicek: Now I see - My view is that it's all due to the way that the original PDF is constructed. So when I extract a single TIFF it loses a bit of detail. From what I can see, the original PDF has images in layers, so when the image gets extracted the layers get flattened - Acrobat can extract a colour image and a black/white image (of different sizes) for every page, see File:The disobedient kids and other Czecho-Slovak fairy tales Page12 Compare.tif. I don't think we will fix this until wiki sorts out it's Ghostscript issues. I did have a go at extracting all the pages as single PDFs in the hope I could re-join - Adobe flattened the layers on making the new PDFs Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 20:37, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

I see. Never mind, thanks very much for all your effort. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 21:11, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

@Jan.Kamenicek: I assume you don't want to keep the comparison images - I'll delete them later. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 21:47, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

Yes, you can delete them. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 21:48, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

I tried to look at the metadata for xxxx but it has already been deleted. I indicated there that the painting in the background, "Galaxy #27-B" by Robert P. McChesney (2000) in in my collection. I own several of the late Mr. McChesney's works; some were given to me by the artist, others I bought. Right now I don't recall which category "Galaxy #27-B" falls into, but I could determine it.

@LeeMcClure: To have an image here requires you to donate to copyright to at least CC-BY-SA-4.0. So only the copyright holder can do that. Commons only hosts free image for re-use. It would be possible to crop the image - my guess is that, the image was 535x411 pixels, cut it down to 233x411, and then the remaining painting becomes COM:DM Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 19:28, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

Copyright status Public Domain Mark

I, thanks for your advise about the license status of that photos, however I don't know what is the problem and how solve it. I only uploaded the files using the Upload Wizard, and the tool added automatically the license... Bye, Elisardojm (talk) 08:24, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

@Elisardojm: See COM:PDM - Flickr has a choice of options - one is Public Domain Mark - this is where the uploader believes the image to be in the Public Domain (very old, US Gov, etc.) and also "Public Domain Dedication (CC0))" - this is the one equivalent to CC-zero. The first one is not a license and is not irrevocable. They may have selected the wrong one, normally the only solution is to ask the Flickr owner if (s)he change the PDM to the CC-zero option.

File:Schombachova vila a závod 002.jpg

Hi Ronhjones, where you found any indication that the two photos from the file are not own work of the uploader from 1997 as he self declared? The quality of the images indicates that they are scans of amateur photos, they appear not probable to be borrowed from some other source as any postcard, publication or website. --ŠJů (talk) 22:30, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

@ŠJů: We always tag montages that way (e.g. File:Welcome army.jpg and many others) - it's a derivative work as it has multiple images. We cannot search for copyright issues unless it's a single image. It's best if the user uploads each image separately, and then he can refer to those images as the sources for the montage. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 23:17, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

"We always"? We always should think, using rules. Your rule can be appropriate for montages which obviously contain images from various sources, authors, places, times. A montage of two images which are obviously from the same time, the same author and the same village needs not to be suspected of false source information, especially if the uploader knows and declares the year when the photos were taken. Images should be uploaded rather separately but this our preference has no relation with copyright. You should use {{Extract image}} instead. If the uploader seems to become regular contributor, you can explain our preferences to him at his discussion page or link him some help pages. --ŠJů (talk) 23:47, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

I never said anything was false, I said it was a derivative and wanted more information. I seen plenty of images of similar quality and copied from web sites. Lower quality does not equate to "own work". Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 23:59, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

File:Give my regards to Broad Street.jpg

What in the world is unclear about the status of this photo?

@AndreCarrotflower: Please read the collapsed sections on the image page template, also COM:PDM. PDM is not an irrevocable license and is not equivalent to CC-zero. The Flickr description for that is "Public Domain Dedication (CC0)"

The original photo is listed under Public Domain Mark 1.0, now I am not sure which tag to use, I looked over the Commons:Copyright tags, but it was a little confusing, any help you could give me would be appreciated -- Kingstoken (talk) 01:43 30 December 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.139.203.54 (talk) 01:44, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

@72.139.203.54: It's know that people on Flickr sometimes use the wrong tag. They select "Public Domain Work" rather than "Public Domain Dedication (CC0)". The former gives a Public domain mark - should be used on old images, and copyright free (US Gov, etc). The latter is a true equivalent for cc-zero. Probably best to ask the Flickr user to change the mark. The PDM is not an irrevocable license, which is required for commons. Ronhjones  ^(Talk)

Gino Roncaglia pic

Hello Ronhjones, I received the warning about the deletion of File:Gino_Roncaglia_-_Libriamoci.jpg. The pic has been uploaded on Flickr with the "no copyright" tag, because the author wanted to give it for free to the web (in order to publish that to wikipedia). I'm not sure if I can make it change the tag after 8 years... What should I do? The goal was to have a free pic, of this I'm sure. 213.209.248.156 09:52, 30 December 2018 (UTC) (It was me, I was not logged in) Aubrey (talk) 09:53, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

@Aubrey: Well I would also worry a bit about that file. Gino Roncaglia in Gino Roncaglia's Flickr account. It a bit lacking in photographer detail, and it does not look like a selfie. Easy answer is to message him and ask to change to "Public Domain Dedication (CC0)" (that's Flickr's name for CC-zero) - it a PRO account, so it's likely to be active.

No license tagging

Are you going to start a mass DR for the Flickr PDM images that were uploaded with UploadWizard like I asked you on Commons:Village pump/Copyright#File:Emma McClarkin MEP at Vista.jpg? Speedy "no license" is not appropriate in this case. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 12:08, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

A very large proportion was down to one uploader. He has already messaged the Flickr owner - User_talk:DarwIn#Copyright_status:_File:Cabo_Girão_-_IMG_1159.jpg. Where I have seen images that are PD I have changed the cc-zero e.g. File:Het Spaanse geschut wordt afgevoerd,.jpg. Also I see that flickr2commons is adding the PDM template as well as other editors - so there are plenty of files in Category:Flickr public domain images needing specific copyright tags that I have not tagged. Maybe you should start a DR for all of them. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 15:53, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Oh hell no I'm not going to do that.. But to reasonable fix anything (and do so in time), a list is needed. If you tag everything speedy, there is no way to keep track. If you nominate them with VFC started from Category:Flickr public domain images needing specific copyright tags they will all be listed on Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Flickr public domain images needing specific copyright tags. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 20:00, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Flickr images

The images are on Flickr with the license mentioned on them. The reason is that the uploader chose that license. One of the tagged images was since removed from Flickr, but was originally uploaded with that license, you could try looking it up on some archive. They are all suitable. Have a good day.

@Achaea: Commons does need an explicit license (because our licenses make images reusable for any purpose, including commercial - copyright holders often back out once commercial re-use is mentioned.) - there is nothing suitable on that page - why not reply and ask if a cc-by-sa-4.0 license is acceptable?

@Chemako0606: The decorated plate looks hand painted - Leave it for the reviewing admin to decide. Looks like "Fbot" tagged the page for commons in 2011 (there's a lot of old move tags still on en-wiki). It was originally uploaded as "fair use" and was changed in 2011 by Bkell, he changed it to PD - maybe too old, but there is no date to verify. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 22:41, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I got a friendly notification that I was mentioned in this conversation. For what it's worth, I didn't change the licensing information of the image at all—the licensing on the English Wikipedia was {{PD-self}} from the beginning when en:User:Iwanafish uploaded the image. The only thing I did was to delete the words "fair use" in the image description, because if the {{PD-self}} tag is accurate then there is no need to claim fair use. —Bkell (talk) 05:16, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Though the file name is the same, the version added on Jan 6 has correct permissions added via Flickr. I am inexperienced in adding photos to articles so this may not have been reflected in the upload. Did I do it incorrectly? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emp1220 (talk • contribs) 18:27, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

@Emp1220: No flickr link. Your last edit (23:32, 6 January 2019) copied below. You just need to go to COM:UDR, ask for undelete and supply the flickr link. Note that they will require the Flickr upload to be before both of the uploads here - i.e. before 19:50, 21 December 2018, or they will assume License Laundering.

The image is a U.S. Army Command Photo created by a Government photo studio and defaults as Public Domain. There is no copyright holder. Please remove the copyright violation status at your earliest convenience.

@Rohnjones

I put up a link to the thumbnail from the U.S. Army Alaska website (which I run). Let me know if I need to post the high resolution image on the website and link that to it. The photo is an internally used photo, so the only high resolution version posted is on wikipedia commons right now.

You have removed this image for the following reason: "Copyright violation: Not found at URL". I think the original page of origin has unfortunately been deleted since.

File:Socialistappeal.png

Hello, Ronhjones.

You seem to have marked File:Socialistappeal.png for deletion. However, on https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing#Simple_design (the licensing page, since your issue with my image is related to copyright permissions), it states: "Commons accepts images of text in a general typeface and of simple geometric shapes, even if it happens to be a recent trademarked logo, on the grounds that such an image is not sufficiently creative to attract copyright protection. Such images should be tagged with PD-ineligible or one of the list of more specific tags for this kind of works (e.g. PD-textlogo for simple logos)." Furthermore: "Raster renderings (i.e. PNG images) of uncopyrighted simple designs can themselves be regarded as being uncopyrighted." The logo clearly fits the criteria for simple design, and thus cannot be copyrighted, and therefore needs no permissions required for copyrighted logos and images. When I update the tags with PD-ineligible and PD-Textlogo, will you remove the deletion request? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Kind regards,

--Redratatoskr (talk) 08:00, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

@Redratatoskr: The way it's written at present is that we have a source (https://www.socialist.net/), and a license (Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International) - we therefore expect to find that license statement at the source - and of course, it's not there. It probably will survive with a {{PD-textlogo}} - always very difficult with UK's low COM:TOO. Let me know when you have changed it. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 17:16, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you for the quick reply. I've updated the page to include the textlogo tag. If there's anything else I need to do or should do, please let me know. I appreciate your patience in this matter.

Hello Ronhjones,

Several days ago I finished an article about composer Gara Garayev. Then I have received a notification about derivative work for uploaded an image. (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Q.Qarayevin_ev_muzeyi.jpg) That plaque image has taken by me. Unfortunately unconsciously I uploaded an image. Could you delete that image from commons? Then I will upload an image without any person picture.

Best regards.

Hello,

I got a notification about removing this file. The owner of this file posted only on Facebook. So I asked for permission and our conversation is as follow: Me: I want to use this photo (https://www.facebook.com/theyangonheritagetrust/posts/1914598358629277) in wiki if you permit. YHT: Aww ... Use it. Add source as Yangon Heritage Trust and you an use it.

So, I did it. I understand you will doubt because it can't find on their website. But if you follow the above link, you will see that.

Best regards.

The Yangon Heritage Trust only has a text at the top of the page, there is nothing in the replies from them. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 17:27, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
