Nikki Phoenix Picture

Hi there, as I have left comments on both the Picture page and elsewhere, I wanted to ensure you also were made fully aware of the trouble ticket that has already been submitted

[Ticket#: 2017012510017269]  which as I am sure you have read, contains my email with signed model release from Ms. Phoenix, her ID shots, as well as 2 additional emails, 1 from her, in which she again states I own the rights to the picture in question, and her Lawyer who also states the same and provides his contact information. To be clear: there is NO possible grey area for any interpretation from anyone regarding who owns my work besides me. I am waiting for closure on this issue for this picture I uploaded for public use. Please read the detailed comments in the discussion for the photo itself and I thank you in advance for resolution on this issue which is clear cut, and non debate-able. --Art javier (talk) 20:24, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi there, another update, Jetset Magazine has complied with Nikki's email and correctly listed me as the photographer credit on their site. The complete email string between herself, and the magazine owner has also been sent to the trouble ticket listed above, it also specifically cites this wikipedia issue, as well as another editor here Jim, who refused to believe she was herself because she chooses to use a gmail account (as pretty much every other model I have ever shot) and that correspondence with the magazine owner should settle that issue as well, although personally, I have no idea why any OTRS reader would question someone with a signature block listing all her verified accounts. I have no doubt you will look at this in an unbiased way since you were the first to point out that Jetset not listing me as the photographer did not mean they owned the photo, however, I'm glad someone here was silly enough to mention that so the issue could be addressed.

Thanks in advance for being more helpful and polite and unbiased than the other editors I have seen here since my brief return after a 2 year hiatus, simply to prove this point:

Don't ever tell a photographer that owns a photo that he doesn't, he will have the resources at hand to prove he does, the model will side with him, and any magazine or outlet that used the photo will side with him too.

Best and thanks again for being the most unbiased editor I have read in the string so far. --Art javier (talk) 18:07, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind word. I can see that the photo has been credited to you on the website of Jetset Magazine. Just as I have said earlier, there is no clear evidence that "jetsetmag.com" is the copyright holder of the image. "Copyright notice" on website is not an evidence of ownership of copyright, also using the website email address to email OTRS is not an evidence that they are the copyright holder of all contents on their website. If they email OTRS that they own the copyright of a content, The official email address is only an evidence that the sender owns the domain. Unfortunately, Эlcobbola, a respected member of the community believed "a statement on a legitimate publication' website is, in fact, exactly that.". Of course, this is utterly wrong. However, Jameslwoodward is correct for deleting the image as our policy allows images like this to be deleted. Now that the image has been credited to you, I think he would be glad to restore it. I pinged him. Relax, he would take a look. All the best. Wikicology (talk) 07:30, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Apparently, that's not enough for him LOL I look forward to you interceding on this since all I get from him are rude comments, stating that I am not me LOL. Given that numerous people here have tried to infer I don't own my own photos, I feel like I'm pretty relaxed LOL But I thank you again for your unbiased help, you are literally the only one who has been this way.

You will also note, I am credited on the billboard as well. Perhaps ping him with that as well, since he still disbelieves it LOL. https://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?899328

--Art javier (talk) 20:02, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Since Jim is still unsure that you are the copyright holder of the image, I think the best way to handle this is to ask Jetset Magazine to email OTRS that you are indeed the copyright holder of the image. Once the correspondence is reviewed by a member of our support team, the image would be restored. Note that it could take some days or weeks due to the backlogs. Wikicology (talk) 20:27, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi There, This was just sent into Permissions and I was CCed on it as well, coming from Nikki from her site, and listing [Jim] specifically too LOL

Ticket#: 2017012510017269 Nikki Phoenix Support <support@nikkiphoenixxx.com> To permissions-commons@wikimedia.org CC booknikkiphoenix@gmail.com art_javier@yahoo.com achiles300@yahoo.com Today at 12:41 PM To Whom it may concern,

The owner of this site, Nikki Phoenix, asked us to send in this email, since one of your editors (Jim) erroneously has asked for permission on this photo's use to come from us, instead of the Photographer, Owner, and Copyright holder, Art Javier, who has notified us that You have tried to tell him he doesn't own his own photo.

Note the Art Javier, (Art javier on Wikipedia) is in fact the Photographer, Owner, and Copyright holder, can use the photo as he sees fit, already sent in copies of Ms Phoenix's IDs and Model Release, Ms. Phoenix has already responded comfirming that he owns the photo and can do anything he likes with it, and Our Lawyer has already emailed confirming this as well.

Why it is that we need to send and email from her site, because this editor says:

Deleted: As far as I can see, we have no evidence that the subject of the image has the right to freely license it. That right usually belongs to the photographer. The OTRS message is from a generic address and gives no evidence of anything -- it includes a photo of an unknown person holding what purports to be a model release from Ms. Phoenix and the subject image showing on a screen. Note that Ms. Phoenix owns www.nikkiphoenixxx.com, so the fact that the OTRS e-mail comes from a generic site is itself suspicious behavior. Lastly, the OTRS e-mail has come in recently and has not yet reached the head of the queue, so the image must be deleted until the OTRS message can be acted upon.

Is puzzling, but in order to support the actual owner, photographer and rightholder, Art Javier (Art javier on Wikipedia) who donated this photo many years ago and took the photo for free, and to completely debunk false statements, we are happy to do so.

Regards,

Nikki Phoenix Owner NikkiPhoenixxx.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by Art javier (talk • contribs) 21:10, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Hey there, I'm puzzled why you would think that Jetset emailing them would make any difference, since they aren't the rights holder, and Permissions has also now been emailed by her Site, as well as me (Providing the Signed Model Release, and her ID shot holding her ids which is proof enough of ownership), Nikki, her Lawyer, and the site in question has already credited me as the owner and rights holder. At this point he's simply not wanting to admit being wrong, nothing else LOL. Again, this is the type of behavior that encouraged me to leave Wikipedia years ago, since I have better things to do than argue with people who simply won't admit when they are OVERWHELMINGLY mistake on their position. --Art javier (talk) 21:26, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

I am sorry that you have to go through this stress to restore the photo. I would probably take it to COM:UDR tomorrow. BTW.. Your impression about Jameslwoodward is wrong. To be honest with you, James is a very nice administrator and I don't think he has anything against you. Wikicology (talk) 21:39, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi There, I thanks and I would have to disagree with you since it's painfully obvious now to all involved that Nikki has reached out directly to Permissions and her Lawyer has as well in addition to all my documentation and emails, and even the site they are citing has already made a point to give me due credit. He Clearly refuses to admit his mistake, along with his friend. I would ask you to please take this to COM:UDR tomorrow since I don't even know what that is my friend. I do know when someone tells me I am not me, and I don't own my own photo that they are besmirching my name with False and Easily disproved statements despite their denials after their statements, Something I take as seriously as ensuring everyone properly credits me for my work. Hence why Jetset Magazine immediately corrected their error. Please assist me as I am now as equally embittered by my treatment here and lack of an apology from Clearly Mistaken pundits as I was when I left Wikipedia years ago. I am very happy to pass on that Nikki has also resent the entire email string from all her emails, gmail and otherwise through her official site email directly to permissions and asked for both those editors to be disciplined. I was CCed on the emails. I, as well as Ms. Phoenix, her Lawyer, her website and anyone who is using my work, will of course NOT let this go until I am properly credited here and my photo I donated has been restored. Many thanks, --Art javier (talk) 10:10, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Art javier, I took it to COM:UDR. see it here. It has been closed by Srittau who noted that the OTRS permission is pending. So, relax and let the OTRS process sort this out. With kind regards. Wikicology (talk) 10:18, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi There, Thank you so much, I read what you wrote for the undeletion request. Thanks again for your help and support. You are what I had always envisioned Wikipedia to be about, with editors helping other editors and why I have been so disappointed with the attitudes and comments of other editors. I'm sure you can see why I would be frustrated, since I am the photographer, and I have already sent in the Model Releases, ID shots, and the Model, Lawyer, her Website, and event the site in question all side with me and state I am the owner of this photo that I donated here years ago for public use. I will make a point to try and stay in touch with you even if I choose to again cease being an active member here. --Art javier (talk) 21:40, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Please, feel free to stay in touch. With kind regards. Wikicology (talk) 08:28, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi there, I thought you would get a good chuckle out of this, as Nikki has sent in another email to OTRS that I was CCed on, and shared it as a blog on her sites. LOL http://www.nikkiphoenixxx.com/tour1/blog/for-wikipedia.html

Again thanks again for all of your help, I'm personally astounded that these 3 editors have been so unhelpful, and unwilling to correct their mistake eventhough they have been proven wrong by you, me, Nikki, her Lawyer, her Site, and Jetset Magazine. --Art javier (talk) 22:50, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Just Saying Hello! and A Barnstar for YOU!

I was just stopping by to say hello, and to thank you for your help previously, I noticed that there is STILL no action regarding this case with the photo that Everyone clearly says I own, but I have found thankfully a community of Wikipedians who are much friendlier, more helpful, and non-vandalizing recently that have renewed my faith in the overall community.

	The Special Barnstar
	And a big thanks for going out of your way to point out to other editors that they were in fact Totally mistaken regarding a photo that Everyone, including the magazine in Question credits me for owning LOL --Art javier (talk) 05:26, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Update Nikki Phoenix Photo restored by OTRS

HI there, You will be happy to hear that OTRS has sided with us and restored the Photo (no surprise really, it was obvious we were right in the first place.) and the photo is back up where it belongs.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nikki_Phoenix_(RT_SF9A0489-cropped-small).jpg

Thanks again for your support and it has been nice for me to see that there are some friendly, helpful Editors on Wikipedia and also on Spanish Wikipedia that have restored my faith in this community. --Art javier (talk) 17:22, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi Art javier, this sounds like a good news and thanks for keeping me updated. I left a comment here yesterday. I don't know if that might have drawn the attention of one or more OTRS member. Well, I am pretty glad the image was finally restored and I'm sure Nikki would be glad too. With kind regards. Wikicology (talk) 17:47, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks again, and I wonder if we could in fact remove the "general notability guideline" since the article has been cleaned up, the photo restored, and she clearly meets notability guidelines per other editors. I personally don't want to remove the template because I don't want it to appear as if I am biased in doing so because I was the person who uploaded the photo. Is this something you think you could do? --Art javier (talk) 21:11, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

Help, the Nikki Phoenix Article has been vandalized and now nominated again for deletion

Eventhough it already has met notability requirements:

Help! Nikki Phoenix article was Vandalized, and now nominated again for deletion

Hi There, I'm reaching out to you because the article which you were kind enough to help me so much with has been vandalized, and now re-nominated for deletion. I would like to also point out that it has met notability requirements already by Devopam (talk) note the posting from him on the article's talk page:

Hi, I'm Devopam. Art javier, thanks for creating Nikki Phoenix!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Article has potential and passess WP:PORNBIO. Need recommended improvements in order to make it a good read.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Devopam (talk) 13:31, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

I was hoping you would please also comment on the deletion page so that we are very clear about the repeated deletions by this editor and now his attempt to delete a page that has already been cited as having met Notability.

Thank you so much in advance for your support and for having helped with the article as well :)

AN/U

Hi, the reason I insisted that a response from Yann is needed, is that in several earlier occasions Yann ignored the disapproval by the community and just continued the behaviour. I think it would be a waste of community resources if this needs to be brought to the noticeboard for the fourth time in the near future. Jcb (talk) 17:34, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Jcb, people only change if they want to change. You cannot force someone to admit they were wrong or apologize. Only they have the power to shift their perspective. And sometimes, it’s just not going to happen. Regards. Wikicology (talk) 18:56, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

No, one of the purposes of AN/U is to force users to change their modus operandi if necessary. Admins are in place to serve the community. If the community disapproves their behaviour, they have to fix it, whether they want it or not, or leave. Please undo the premature section closure. Jcb (talk) 05:45, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Luanda street scene (6178282208).jpg

Hi, Please read Commons FOP page before nominating a file for deletion. Beside I consider Mhhossein's behaviour inappropriate, so it would best not to support his action. Regards, Yann (talk) 15:36, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Yann, of course you know I am familiar with COM:FOP. May I respectfully remind you that FoP exception does not eliminate the need for a license from the photographer? FoP exception vary from country to country. There is a freedom of Panorama in Nigeria and Angola but the terms and conditions are not the same. In the case of Angola, the copyright law state that "reproduction of "works shown permanently in public" is allowed "without the authorization of the author and without payment of remuneration on condition that the title and the name of the author are stated and that the work is respected.". Can you point me to where the architect was credited? I am struggling to understand why you closed the DR without taken that important clause into consideration. Unless the architect is credited, that image remain a copyright violation of the architect work. As others already pointed out, your closure of that DR was inappropriate.

You picked the the Bus conductor picture I uploaded For deletion because you saw the picture on a nigerian blog?

I took that picture with a BlackBerry Z10 and had it edited so it can look very nice the way it looks now,i don't switch on Geotag on camera setting cause I don't keep Internet data on most times and definitely not when taking pictures,I'm in nigeria and buying data bundles is not cheap,if you know anything about Z10 you will know that exif data is only going to show map location if Internet is on and dimensions,Thats it.kindly remove deletion from the picture,please dont add this to my headache cause I already live in nigeria and that's enough headache on its own. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ayodeji111 (talk • contribs) 04:57, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

How is living in Nigeria an headache? Let's stay on topic. Exif metadata does not requires internet connection and I am struggling to understand why you linked this to high cost of internet. BTW...File:African woman selling cake locally produced.jpg is an image taken with Blackberry Z10 which prove you wrong. Wikicology (talk) 06:46, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Bus conductor working at oshodi market lagos nigeria.

I use a blackberry Z10 and that's exactly what I'm trying to tell you that on the properties(Exif Metadata) of a picture you take with a Z10 you will only see image number,dimensions,location and that you will only see location if you open geomap on the camera setting and geomap only works if the Internet on the phone is on,clearly you don't use a Z10 cause if you do you would have been able to comprehend what I'm saying by now and Yeah lagos in nigeria is a stressful place to live in infact it's the tenth most stressful city to live in in the world and Internet is expensive in the third world so please don't ever tell me what I can and can't say. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ayodeji111 (talk • contribs) 07:16, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of my uploaded pictures from wikipedia commons

Good day everyone I am Ebenezer with the username EbenCoded, I am a contestant for the Wiki Loves Africa contest that started on 1st of October, 2017 and is ending 30th of November 2017. My pictures were suggested for deletion because they were not taken from the same device, that is true because I used different devices to capture different activities of African people at work, I made use of my camera, I made use of my phone too. i started first with my camera but it was a little difficult to take the pictures because people were feeling insecure with is understandable, i switched to using my phone so as to take the pictures of different people without their consent when at work which worked out pretty well because I took the pictures while holding my phone in my hand like I was using it for something else. As a result of this switching of devices, while uploading i uploaded the ones taken by my phone and and by my camera which I transferred to my phone's memory card and where i edited most of my pictures. This is an explanation and a proof that the pictures i uploaded are mine and mine alone. I therefore request that my pictures are not deleted from Wikipedia commons. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 197.242.99.132 (talk) 12:26, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Are you familiar with image EXIF metadata? Majority of the images are small photos with no metadata. Why didn't you upload the original photos if they are actually your works? This makes me to doubt that you owned the other photos taken with different camera. Wikicology (talk) 15:21, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Closure at AN/U

Thanks for the closure statement. If this closure does not get reverted or amended by an admin, the outcome is at least that those speedy closures have to stop. This will hopefully reduce the number of clashes with Yann. I am avoiding to get involved in DRs started by Yann, at least when I disagree with them in that DR. Just trying to keep some distance from each other seems to be the best that can be achieved at the moment. Trying to resolve issues via their user talk page has prooved pointless unfortunately.

Ji-Elle, I nominated the images for deletion for multiple reasons. a) There is no evidence that uploader is the copyright holder of the images.

Unsplash license reviews

Hi, with files like File:1930s Fighter (Unsplash).jpg, adding a license review template with the current link and recent date of review does not make sense. The license I uploaded these with has changed at source, so it is not possible to verify the license this way. This is why the specific explanatory unsplash template is used for all 30,000 uploads.

Please consider removing the license review templates as they are not evidence of the verification they appear to be.

AN reopening

"Reopening of this thread is in fact disruptive and counterproductive"

The thread was in dire need of some reply to point out what got lost in translation. As I provided that, the thread could be closed right after that but I didn't want to actually make that call myself. Steinsplitter has, so that's all resolved now. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 16:18, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

No worries, friend. Happy editing. T Cells (talk) 16:24, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Did you notice that this image attributes the Gamma-Rapho photo agency and Getty Images before you gave it a good review? I suspect it is an unacceptable image. Ww2censor (talk) 20:56, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

I have looked at the image again and I have to agree with you. Sadly, I didn't notice that it attributes Getty Images. My eyes went straight to the author, Jean-Claude. My bad! T Cells (talk) 21:17, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

I have unreviewed it. I'll take a closer look again tomorrow. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Regards. T Cells (talk) 21:22, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) - Ww2censor & TCells - Just a heads up I've reported the image to Flickr as it's more than likely the Getty uploader never gave permission for their image to be used in this way, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 21:45, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

LR promotions

I know it seems stupid but there have been instances in the past of people having their LR right stripped from them for promoting early. Even if it is by a few minutes I wouldn't want that to happen. Please make sure the full 48 hours have passed before doing any promotions. Thanks. --Majora (talk) 21:13, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Majora I'm in Nigeria and 21:19 is 9:19 PM by my time zone. Is there anything I'm missing? Thank you. T Cells (talk · contribs · email) 21:23, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Check your clocks and look at your timestamps. You promoted them at 21:06 and closed the request at 21:12. 13 and 7 minutes respectively too early. We have to go by the server clock. --Majora (talk) 21:26, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Oh.. Majora, WAT zone is one hour ahead of UTC. I sincerely apologize for the closure. I closed the request based on WAT. I'm really sorry. T Cells (talk · contribs · email) 21:33, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Obviously the closure was correct. There is nothing to be sorry about there. It was just a timing thing. Like I said, I just don't want someone to bring up that you did it out of process because of a timing mistake. And there being precedent there to ensure that the full 48 hours is given to all LR requests. It is better to leave it open for an extra hour or two than to close it a few minutes early. I just wanted to give you a heads up. --Majora (talk) 21:37, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Noted and thank you so much for the heads up. T Cells (talk · contribs · email) 21:40, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

UPLOADING image

PLEASE I need someone to properly attach an image to a wiki page I read that lacks image.

I added a link on the page indicating a proper image for that page. Please kindly help by attaching the image well & referencing it to proper image owner. Thanks alot for improving Wikipedia. Below is the affected page.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mambilla_Power_Station Ebere Jude (talk) 16:19, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Can you provide a link to the image in question? Or do you mean you have an image you wish to upload under a free license? Regards. T Cells (talk · contribs · email) 16:26, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

You are just so cool!

I mean, just look at you. It's like you're wearing ice!

Thanks for such a helpful and inspiring user page, and so very many thanks for your favorite gallery. It's very, very, very healing!

Would it be rude to inquire...

... which of your names given on your user page (Olatunde Isaac) is your surname and which one is your given name? I know that the pattern differs from culture to culture. You could even put the information on your user page, perhaps along with the cultural background (based on your mention of its Wikipedia, perhaps Yoruban?) that created that pattern and the components of your particular name.

I swear I didn't try to bribe you with a WikiLove kitten in order to get this info! 😸 It only occurred to me after I gave you a WikiKitten, and only then because "Isaac" in my native American English is usually a given name. Thanks, and keep up the good work! It's interesting, AGF people like you that keep me coming back to edit mode even when I get tired. —Geekdiva (talk) 03:04, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Your best shot 2018

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I'm wishing you all the best for the New Year and I hope you're going to have many memorable photo opportunities in 2019. With 2018 coming to an end, it's time to look back at the past 12 months. I'm curious – what would you consider your best shot of 2018 and why? I invite you to share your image and your thoughts in order to provide others with the opportunity to celebrate, learn, and enjoy:

Your best shot 2018

Thanks for all your effort in sharing your vision of the world with others under a free license!

Warmly, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:39, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Would you be interested to apply to work as an OTRS agent?

I saw that you are rather passionate for Wikimedia Commons and although I do not hope that what happened last week will discourage you from donating your images (and other images from the Wikimedia UserzGroup Nigeria) to Wikimedia Commons. Anyhow, if you are looking for more stuff to do on Wikimedia Commons the OTRS team always needs more help, and although it's a thankless "job" (hobby) that will probably get you more angry impatient people commenting at you than people who admire your work, one cannot minimise how valuable OTRS validated works are for Wikimedia Commons and the free internet as a whole, maybe there are even a lot of Yoruba language tickets awaiting an answer that you could so eloquently answer. As you're also very active in Nigeria maybe you could also contact local organisations and your government to donate their works to Wikimedia Commons as well, maybe something to think about. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 21:34, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Unrelated: Why not set up an archive for this page? It takes me forever to scroll on my mobile device and the conversations date back to 2016. I mean you can organise this page as you like, it would just be easier for people to see the most recent conversation, especially on a mobile device (reckon that most Nigerians also browse the internet with a snartphone). --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 21:34, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Donald Trung, thanks for your encouragement. I experienced the worst in 2016. I was subjected to recurring harassment on the English Wikipedia and one account was indefinitely blocked for harassment. Thus, what happened last week was not new to me. I applied to volunteer at OTRS sometimes in 2017 but the English Wikipedia warriors quickly jumped there to criticize me, citing the ArbCom case in 2016. Thus, my application was declined. I'll be happy to volunteer at OTRS if I get nominated (if there is anything like that). As you are already aware, my works primarily focus on creating awareness about Wikimedia projects in Nigeria and I have done quiet a lot of works to promote Wikimedia projects in Nigeria. I designed and coordinate almost all outreach works, projects and partnership in Nigeria. In May 2018, I was in the Senate of Nigeria to discuss possible collaboration and for the Senate to donate their works for Wikimedia Commons. They have agreed in principle but we couldn't move forward due to the preparation for the 2019 General Election. About, archiving, I'll look into archiving my talk page when I'm a bit less busy.
