Uploaded by mistake. License withdrawn. Jnpet 10:46, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me that it was not uploaded by mistake Commons:Quality images candidates/candidate list#Rhinopias frondosa. I'm sorry but I must say this should be Keep. Samulili 13:28, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Upload was less than a week ago. Uploader has requested that image be deleted as it was uploaded by mistake. Surely the uploader should know. In the circumstances only deletion seems reasonable. --Simonxag 22:08, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Uploader nominated the image as a candidate for a Quality Image; when it was (apparently) turned down the uploader got frustrated and changed the licensing. Seems quite useful otherwise. It was certainly not uploaded by mistake, since the deletion request seems to stem from that same frustration, as the uploader does not seem to want to upload it if it cannot be a Quality Image. We may want to respect their wishes anyways, since this was uploaded so recently. Still, I hope that the uploader reconsiders after a couple of days, as this is still a rather useful photo for all the wikipedias and others, and we would very much like to keep it. As a matter of fact, it is already in use on en-wiki and species.wikimedia.org. Carl Lindberg 00:20, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Perhaps the mistake included a lack of understanding of the nature of the Commons. --Simonxag 18:41, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Jnpet, I sympathise with your frustration about your image not making QI. I'm certain that I'd be equally upset if it happened to me (if anything I ever took was good enough to be nominated, or even half as good as this one). But does it matter? Think: people have already used your picture. It's certainly serving a good purpose. And whatever QI says, I think it's a lovely photo (I have it as my background right now). I urge you to withdraw your nomination. Lewis Collard! (talk, contribs, en.wp) 07:01, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep You are right, I was frustrated because of one particular person who just seemed to attack everything I put up there. Not the first time. Being hung over on January 1st didn't help my mood and outburst either. I shall eat humble pie and withdraw the delete request. I am stll discouraged to contribute further, but I may reconsider this too eventually. Sorry for your troubles and thanks for understanding. Cheers! --Jnpet 02:25, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While it may be true that the United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) used this photo, it is clear that the DEA did not produce the photo. The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army (FARC-EP) considers itself to be at war with the United States. The United States has classified the FARC-EP as a terrorist organization. Because the FARC-EP is heavily involved in drug trafficking, the DEA is tasked with anti-FARC activities. It is therefore extraordinarily unlikely that the FARC-EP would invite the DEA to one of their meetings. In fact, the FARC-EP has a history of simply kidnapping or murdering any American citizens that it comes across. This picture was probably either taken by a Colombian journalist or by the FARC-EP itself. --Descendall 05:25, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously the text of the book is copyrighted, but there is no copyrightable text on that image. From here, the arrangement of type on a printed page cannot support a copyright claim.

At least parts of this photo are not PD due to the fact that it is showing cover photos of John Coltrane recordings, e.g. en:A Love Supreme.

  • KeepThis shouldn't have been speedy deleted. I had no chance to respond. I believe since the magazine was only part of the image it was fair use. The juxtaposition of the magazine with the bible in the hotel drawer was the main subject. Dori - Talk 18:00, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Restored. --Flominator 20:49, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a picture of the magazine per se. It's a picture of the (unintentional) positioning of the items. The uploader opened the drawer and saw two holy books alongside a perfect depiction of western decadent consumerism. What's funny is if an artist created this scene they could own copyright over it (but the usage of the magazine itself would still not be owned, merely on its positioning). Neutral on deletion, although the magazine cover is almost 1/3 of the image. -Nard 04:27, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'ts not meerly a request for attribution. "FREE USE OF ALL PHOTOS AND TEXTS ON THE CONDITION OF REFERING TO THE MOVIE" means that derivative works and the use of the work are strongly limited. for instance I could not use the image as an example of breast implants only as an illustration when talking about the movie. The image would be fair use (on en.wiki) for the article about the movie though. Same thing applies for Image:Lolostrand.gif. This image cannot be used to describe hoola hooping it can only be used when refeering to Camping Cosmos. I've added that image to this deletion request./Lokal_Profil 12:30, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The quoted statement from the webpage is rather awkward English but it is complete and not part of a larger piece. The obvious meaning is the weak condition If an image or text is used, then the movie must be referred to. This would be satisfied by the license on the image's page in the Commons. The reading you seem to be using is something like If an image or text is used, then the text within which it is being used must refer to the movie. But the statement contains no reference to the new containing text, only to those on the website, and so it is very hard to see how the condition can apply to this new text. Basically all it requires is attribution to the movie, your breast implant use should be fine. --Simonxag 00:59, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Image from Camping Cosmos
@Lokal: if you do something like I've just done here next to the picture, you can use it anywhere, no matter what the subject of your text is. You may have been confused by the use of the word "text" in the attribution request. In fact "text" here refers to texts on the website of the production company, that are also free to use if you refer to the movie. That doesn't mean the text you produce yourself has to refer to the movie. --TwoWings (ID confirmed on my talk page)86.67.47.199 07:34, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Images of Somkey Bear are not free and are regulated by US Code as well as USDA administrative law. See, for example, 18 USC 711.

Hm.... not sure. This is definitely protected by non-copyright law 18 U.S.C. 711, but that is only for "for profit" uses, and Wikimedia's usage should not be in violation. We normally only delete if these restrictions are part of copyright law itself, or if wikimedia's own usage would violate those laws. We are not responsible for what others do with them. On the other hand, reading the history, I'm not entirely sure if this was completely a U.S. government creation, as it was done in conjunction with the Ad Council. According to this though, it sounds like the original artists were government employees. I'll go for a weak Keep. If we do keep it, mark this image with {{insignia}} and add a link to that law.

Delete Images need to be free for for-profit uses. Reasons much discussed elsewhere. The criminal law of the US prevents such uses and the Commons is subject to US Criminal law. --Simonxag 02:09, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Non-commercial restrictions are a problem only if they are a part of the copyright license. See the note at the bottom of the Commons:Licensing page. Carl Lindberg 03:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Even some commercial uses are ok, such as publication in a magazine. These protections are not part of copyright law, but a separate law. -Nard 02:47, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes the criminal law of the United States of America where the Commons is based. --Simonxag 02:14, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hosting the image on commons, or using it in a wikipedia article about Smokey the Bear, is not breaking that law though, so it should be fine. The non-commercial restrictions on commons pertains to copyright law specifically, not additional laws like this -- in this case, we just need to make sure that wikimedia's use does not violate it. Carl Lindberg 02:36, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Images only have to free in the copyright sense, which this one is. So we're fine as far as our policy goes, and as far as the law goes, we are not breaking it by hosting this. So there's no reason to delete. Rocket000 17:52, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as this is public domain, copyright-wise, and permitted for Wikipedia use otherwise. I have cleaned up the description page to make this clearer. I didn't add {{insignia}}, as I'm not sure it fits the definition of insignia. --rimshottalk 13:00, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The uploader claims to be the author of this newspaper scan and simultaneously claims that it is in the public domain as a work of the US federal government. However, as far as I can tell, the Rosswell Daily Record is a privately owned publication. —LX (talk, contribs) 11:40, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not an obvious copyvio... most US newspapers of that era (outside of a few New York papers) did not renew copyrights, so this is almost certainly PD-not_renewed (though PD-USGov is quite wrong). The page does contain two AP photos though, which may have been renewed. The quality is degraded so much I'm not sure that matters too much. Carl Lindberg 05:39, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And unless you can think of a way to prove that it's not renewed, I stand by what I said above. Lewis Collard! (talk, contribs, en.wp) 06:22, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
UPenn did a copyright renewal search a year or so ago. Here is a Google cache of their results, and here is the original Powerpoint file. Only the New York Herald/Tribune and New York Times renewed issues prior to the 1940s, and only a handful renewed 1940s issues. Renewals became more common with 1950s newspaper issues though. Carl Lindberg 07:07, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. Like in the discussion mentioned, the scan does at least include copyrighted images, furthermore cannot be guaranteed that this newspaper would fall under PD-not_renewed. my name 12:22, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect licensing. Is licensed under cc-by-2.0 but some source images are 2.5 (licensing allows for later versions but not for older versions) Also some cc-by-sa images are demoted to cc-by. Also a GFDL image is included. -Nard 18:31, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • cc-by is one way compatible with GFDL, but otherwise the licenses are not compatible. The only way this image could work is to remove the GFDL image and change overall licensing to cc-by-sa-2.5 or later. Or exclude cc-by-sa images and make overall licensing GFDL. -Nard 18:36, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The licenses have been included as icons (CC or GFDL or PD) in the images, and I've referred people to the respective images. Technically, I would say that I am licensing my contributions under cc-by-2.0+GFDL, and simply telling people to check the other licenses. If it would solve anything, I could list it as cc-by-sa-all and GFDL.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 18:47, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This image does not appear to qualify as a public domain image under COM:L 3. That is, the image is not ineligible for a copyright and the copyright has not expired. Also, the source link in the information box results in a 404 Error. There is, thus, no evidence that image has actually been released into the public domain by its author. DieWeisseRose 13:30, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Have you tried using the wayback machine or something? Also images by Carlos Latuff are copyright free. See here for details. // Liftarn

      • That you call an antiracist "a pathetic hate-filled bigot" says more about your views than his. // Liftarn
        • That you continue to try to conjure up lame and feeble excuses for the expressed bigoted views of a proud hatemongerer certainly throws light on your character. Furthermore, your idea of "racism" is as flexible as a rubber-band -- according to you, everybody who disagrees with your personal political views is a "racist"[sic], while everybody who agrees with your personal political views (no matter how vile and contemptible their personal behavior) is an "anti-racist"[sic] (as was exposed at Image_talk:Gathering of eagles.jpg). AnonMoos 17:10, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
          • There is nothing rubbery with the definition of racism as "hatred towards a specific ethnic (or ethnoreligious) group". // Liftarn
            • Please do have the kindness to tell us what "rubbery" is even supposed to mean as a noun (as opposed to an adjective)! It certainly rhymes with the shrubbery that the Knights Who Say Ni told King Arthur to bring to them... After that, you might try to find one single dictionary published by a mainstream lexicographical publisher (such as Oxford University Press, Merriam-Webster, Macquarie, etc.) which includes prejudice against an ideology which people can voluntarily choose to join or leave as part of the core definition of the word "racism" (as opposed to a loose metaphorical extension). This is something which you have conspicuously failed to achieve, so far. AnonMoos 07:00, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
              • So you are saying antisemitism isn't racism because you can choose to convert from Judaism. Interesting idea... // Liftarn
                • Why not consult Image_talk:Gathering of eagles.jpg (which I've linked to twice already in this discussion) to refresh your failing memory on this point? Meanwhile, the fact that you have been completely and utterly incapable or unwilling to find any support from any reputable dictionary for your idiosyncratic personal redefinition of the word "racism" tells its own story...

Frankly Carlos Latuff should just look in the mirror if he wants to see someone who's much more of a Nazi than all those politicians and national personifications whom he keeps continually monotonously repetitively redundantly boringly drawing as Nazis.

          • The relevance is that I'm frustrated that Liftarn has been successful so far in "gaming the system" with respect to the Latuff cartoons, in order to use Wikipedia / Wikimedia Commons as a platform for the promulgation and promotion of bigoted hate speech. If you want to know, I'm far from being the only one who feels this way... AnonMoos 07:00, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Commons should not host bigoted cartoons just because they are free if they are unused in the projects. Carlos Latuff's cartoons have been through a deletion discussion and we said keep (I even said keep). Individual cartoons should still be scrutinized for suitability however. -Nard 01:11, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Caution, we have found that some people seem to be immature and unable to manage themselves when they feel surprised, provoked, or offended. If you are one of those, then enjoy your own personal rage in response to some of the pictures inside, but please do not ask us over and over to take the images down - such requests to remove legitimate

contributions that fulfill the purpose of commons will get the same "NO" response as previous requests. Thank you for visiting, and try to enjoy your day and yourself anyway. We are.

// Liftarn
Frankly, your determination to continue pointless gratuitous edit-warring on Category:Islamophobia, despite everything documented at Image_talk:Gathering of eagles.jpg, is far more "immature" behavior than anything anyone else has exhibited here. Furthermore, there's absolutely no reason why Wikimedia Commons is obligated to host bigoted hate cartoons (we can if we want to, but there's nothing that says we have to) -- especially when they were uploaded with the specific intention of disguising and making lame excuses for their bigotry and hatred. And what do you mean, "we", Kemosabe? AnonMoos 17:10, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, please do ignore what we are here to discuss and continue with your unfounded and disruptive personal attacks. // Liftarn
Since you seem to be very big on bureaucratic jargon acronyms and technicalities of official Wikipedia/Wikimedia policies, please do inform us exactly which clause of which policy imperatively requires that Wikimedia Commons host bigoted hate-cartoons. I think that you'll find this task quite difficult to achieve, since while we can host such material if we choose to do so, there's nothing which requires us to do so -- and there's no reason why, if a near-consensus of interested Wikimedia Commons users decides not to host such material here, it shouldn't be deleted with extreme finality. P.S. The use of the plural pronoun "we" to express individualistic personal opinions should be restricted to Queen Victoria and people with tapeworm. AnonMoos 07:00, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There are no "bigoted hate-cartoons" discussed here. // Liftarn

"avoidance" of misuse could just be a reservation of moral rights (inalienable in most countries legislations so reserving them does not make the work unfree) or it could be an outright denial of derivative works. You decide. -Nard 04:34, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The producer (Government of Chile) has relinquished all rights upon the image. The proviso about "avoidance of misuse" is simply a reminder that the use of the image for illegal purposes (such as for falsifying an official document (i.e. passport)) is not included in the rights being given to the user. See law 19.628 --Melromero 04:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The assertion by Dondesnet that he took this picture is questionable pending clarification. Strong was 78 in 2007, and the picture is of a younger man. Fred Bauder 17:46, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The identity of user:Dondenet who has recently edited w:Maurice Strong and added this image is unknown. It may be Strong himself or a family member. Thus, an explanation may clear this up. The image, even if from another source, may be usable. Fred Bauder 17:51, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. this is first time I have uploaded an image to Wikipedia, so I am learning the process as I go on. I have changed the information for the image. The identity of user Dondesnet, surmised as being a member of Maurice Strong's family, is inaccurate. Dondesnet is Don de Silva, one of the first journalists from a developing country to write and report on environmental and developmental issues. He has attended and reported on many international conferences, including the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment in 1982 and the Earth Summit in Rio. Don de Silva is a journalist, author, and environmentalist. The image is taken from http://www.mauricestrong.org --Dondesnet 09:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's a nice image and would be w:fair use for Wikipedia, see w:Wikipedia:Non-free content and other educational sites, but doesn't meet the requirements of Commons, as I understand them.

Uploader has repeated copyright violations, coming off block he uploads this. I do not believe this is his work -Nard 04:55, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm Mario Perez (aka the "stupid uploader" NightHawkST3). Honestly, this thing is starting to get on my nerves. For some reason you or someone else have said that I've been upolading some images that are not mine... THOSE IMAGES ARE COMPLETELY OF MYYYYY PROTERTY.
I just upoladed this image:
Foto-logo.jpg
You'll see two guys in there with a logo of MY BAND!!!!! I'm the one with glasses...
I've been using CreativeCommon licenses for quite a while and that's what I used as a license for EVERY image I upload in this page, and in my web page!!. I don't know what kind of license you want me to put in there, but this is the second time I'm having this problem.
I have a record label called Angelical Records (go and visit www.angelicalrecords.com, and it'll be in spanish). Please just stop saying that those images aren't mine!!! EVERYTHING I UPLOAD IS MINE!!!! IF IT SAYS "ANGELICAL RECORDS" ON THE AUTHOR OR SOURCE SPACES, THAT'S BECAUSE I AM PART OF ANGELICAL RECORDS. I OWN THOSE IMAGES!!!! EVERY SINGLE ONE!!!!
Still don't believe me? go to my MySpace (www.myspace.com/nighthawkst3) or my band's MySpace: www.myspace.com/egeiro, and you'll see me and/or my band's logo...
I really don't know what to do in order to prove that everything that I upolad in wikipedia is MINE!!!

Statue of Charles XIV of Sweden

edit

These three photos of a statue of king Charles XIV of Sweden are of low quality (photographed at dusk) and not used anywhere. Also, WikiCommons have two other photos of the same object (here and here).

Thuresson 07:10, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Just because we have others doesn't mean we don't want these (or more). These are most definitely usable, and unused is not a deletion reason. Carl Lindberg 15:59, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Correction, unused is not a "speedy deletion" reason. Thuresson 06:37, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Unused is not a regular deletion reason either ;-) The "Low quality" reason, I think, is for pictures which are so bad as to be unusable (so blurry you can't identify the subject, etc.) and "redundant", to me, means photos taken from similar angles at similar times to the point they show the exact same aspects of the subject.
As for the nominated images, someone may want to show what this statue looks like at dusk, or maybe prefers the aesthetic of the blue sky in a particular context, or maybe the image could be brightened by someone in the future. Deleting an image from commons is pretty serious, in my opinion, and should rarely be done in for photos which have a clear legal status and are within project scope. It's pretty hard to determine that those images are definitely not useful for any future purpose in any wikimedia project (wikibooks can give a pretty wide scope). To me, your arguments are more for replacing these images on wikipedia articles with the others you mention, which seems quite reasonable -- but we don't try to force that editorial decision by deleting the other ones from commons.

Hi,
I removed the first speedy tag yesterday as I thought that a broken image should not just be deleted, but could simply reuploaded. I admit that I may have been more explicit by dropping a note to your talk page (or to the talk page of the speedy requester), instead of just commenting my action in the edit comment box...
As you may have noticed, after your message on User talk:Spoladore, this user decided to request a speedy deleting on his own, so I'll delete the image. However, I'll not consider it as a duplicate of the png version, as svg and png are significantly different.
I hope I didn't harm in any way!

Keep Low quality, but good enough to be usable at screen resolution.

Carl Lindberg 07:10, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. At the end of August, 1968, Dubcek was delivered to CCCP and interrogated there; the KGBsts were supposed to make pics, (it is first operation at any detention).

Keep. I know very well that my photo is of poor quality. When I met Mr. Dubcek at the day after his election for president of the parliament, he was surrounded by crowds of reporters and fans. I had to kick away a lot of people before being able to take the picture (and was kicked myself as well, sure ;-)). In the end I caught his head as a very small part of the complete photograph; what you see now is a zoom-out with, of course, low resolution.

 Comment A copyvio is not unlikely, taking a closer look to the uploader's history.

The uploader claims at the talk page of Inertkids (whose reason is once again rather invalid) that it is a friend he knows who has made the picture.

--Agostinhox 05:06, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like it's been deleted, but for a situation like this where the photo has already been published elsewhere under copyright, we need communication directly from the owner. One way is to have the owner send a specific email (see Commons:Email templates for details). Or, probably easier since the site allows message postings, the owner could post a message on the photo page using his own account saying that the photo is licensed under GFDL or CC-BY-SA or whatever. We can't take someone's word for it; we need to get permission directly from the copyright owner. Carl Lindberg 00:50, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is NOT the official flag of the Italian Republic. The original flag's mid band is WHITE (HTML: FFFFFF) and not pale gray Blackcat it 15:15, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you can understand italian language, you can read Art.31 of DISPOSIZIONI GENERALI IN MATERIA DI CERIMONIALE E DISCIPLINA DELLE PRECEDENZE TRA LE CARICHE PUBBLICHE (PDF) (that is given as source of this wrong image), where italian government states the color for official textile flag of Italy. This article states also that other versions of the flag must have the same color effect of a certain Pantone color on a certain polyester fiber, and apparence of that textile with that color is truly a plain white, not dirty (pollution-soiled?)

This is not the flag of Italy. The middle color should be white, not grey. 8 people asked for its deletion at the previous deletion request and only the uploader said keep. The decision was closed keep because of scope grounds. I submit that an inaccurate version of a real flag is not within the scope when it is used in articles where the real flag should appear. Specifically the part of COM:SCOPE that requires files to be of high quality. Bad colors on a flag image make it of poor quality and authenticity. -Nard 02:26, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By what "we think is 'correct'", I meant what some people on Commons believe to be correct. I used "we" because it was the majority. But even a majority here shouldn't decide on images for people elsewhere. Again, we just host them. Rocket000 05:28, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It has been decided in Image talk:Flag of Italy.svg that this is not a flag of Italy, and therefore should not be included among Italian flags nor named as one.
If commons is not concerned with the correctness of the name of the flags, am I allowed to take a JollyRoger, upload it and name it "New Flag of United States/Israel/YouNameIt"? I don't think I would be allowed (and I would be against it, furthermore), just because it would be the wrong name of the image.

What flag are these people carrying? Does that image need to be deleted? There are over fifty different named shades of white. This is a squabble over a 5% difference in luminosity between two shades of white and yes, it is ridiculous. They really are just two different representations of the Italian flag. Neither of them are accurate, because conversion to RGB never is, so I don't really care which one of them you choose to use for whatever purposes you have in mind, but please find a better way to cooperate than edit warring and lodging gratuitous deletion requests for each others' images.

Are you serious or what? If you think that the difference between the two images is irrelevant, why keeping both? If you think there is no possibility to correctly convert from Pantone to RGB, why are you keeping an image which claims to be that conversion? --TcfkaPanairjdde 22:23, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm quite serious. The convention here is to keep all versions of an image unless they are exact duplicates, even if they're more or less interchangeable. As far as I can see, the uploader of the image has only claimed that he used one specific system, established and suggested by an external entity (Pantone, Inc.), for the conversion, not that it's the one and only true method or that the results will look the same everywhere. —LX (talk, contribs) 23:07, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • First: PMS ancronym is NOT an international or wide-used term, but a specific Pantone's industry term. So isn't univocally clear what PMS stand for, without saying that is "Pantone Matching System"....
  • Second: PMS of what? Of a Pantone textile color. My name is more specific.
  • Third: strictly speking "bandiera", cannot be a picture. "Bandiera" is only a piece of cloth that moves in the wind. My name is more correct, because it was similar to all the similar images of "bandiere" in commons... second using flag is better, because commons is international project, so using italian language isn't the better thing to do.
  • Fourth: apparence of Bandiera della Repubblica Italiana is stated by the laws, and has pure, bright, full, totally white. If you want a real "Bandiera della Repubblica Italiana" go to Rome anf take a photo of the flag over Quirinale palace, or similar istitutional place.
  • Fifth: "Flag of Italy" is more neutral term than "Flag of the Republic of Italy" that conceptually sounds like "Offical Flag of Italy" (this is so obvious, but I'm the only one that understand this concpet, I'm right? Oh sorry you don't know if I'm right or wrong, you don't use your brain for judging...)
Conclusion: Rocket000 is wrong (oh damn I say that? No, no, i don't, here right/wrong concepts don't exist in commons), actual name is not more specific than other name. It's actual name correct? No response. Commons do not require editiorial work. I can upload a photo of mine and call it "Queen Elizabeth.jpg" (cit.). Can you say I'm wrong? Really not, because, I say that my name is "Queen Elizabeth". Can you say that's false? I think you can not, because this is a mellow place (cit.), take it easy.
Obviously this image cannot be deleted (this picture is fundamental for commons). Obviously this image cannot be renamed (Reisio is the Right, Reisio is God, and he doesn't want) [Reisio, do you like to be God? I think you like a lot...].
So take it easy. This is commons, a place where all is possible, but if you hasn't the power you are a zero, and for you doing something right is impossible, because you are only a wrong-zero. All right. I don't matter. I only use my faculty to say how things are. -- ELBorgo (sms) 01:56, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, let me try again. First of all, you are aware anyone can rename images, right? No one has done it yet because the edit war wasn't about that. It was about this image being in the category, Category:Flags of Italy, and using the template {{insignia}} which says "This image shows a flag, a coat of arms, a seal or some other official insignia" (emphasis added). Renaming the file does not solve this. You guys already got it renamed from Image:Flag of Italy.svg and have a disclaimer on the image page (I'm against disclaimers, but I left this one as a hopeful compromise). And please refrain from getting personal (e.g. "Reisio, do you like to be God?", "you don't use your brain for judging", etc.). Try to stay focused on what is spoken not the speaker. Thanks. Rocket000 04:50, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And now that the image is protected, you guys took the edit-warring to the talk page[21], where editing others text is not acceptable. Rocket000 04:55, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
«you are aware anyone can rename images, right? No one has done it yet because the edit war wasn't about that» To tell the truth, I tried to rename it, but Reisio (who else), changed the name back. I am, in fact, going to propose a renaming of the image, in case this request for deletion fails.--TcfkaPanairjdde 13:44, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Eh eh eh, ELBorgo you rock!
Mhmm, I think renaming it Flag of Italy with Pantone textile colours.svg can be the solution. Resio got his flag, we got our clarification about the rendering method. --F l a n k e r 19:59, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I will gladly rename it if everyone's cool with this. My only concern is there still might be edit-warring over the things I listed above. Resio if your reading this, please comment. Rocket000 20:04, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, let's go with the third option you proposed in the first link, delete the image.--TcfkaPanairjdde 21:00, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Reisio, please do not make assumptions of what others might hypothetically do. TcfkaPanairjdde, cut the sarcasm. Please, this is not helpful. As I said before, if you are not willing to work towards an agreement in this collaborative project, there are other means of ending the disruption, but neither of you will find that outcome to be in your interest. —LX (talk, contribs) 23:39, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Giggy conjectured that renaming the image would have resolved the issue, and after Rocket000 detailed why that wasn't necessarily the case, I merely gave an exaggerated example to bring it into stark relief. ¦ Reisio 00:27, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Any chance of a compromised rename? Like Image:Italian flag PMS 20060414.svg (don't know Italian)? Think of how to resolve this rather than having the all-or-nothing mindset. I know it's hard sometimes, but please check yourself that you're not just holding out to make a point, which both sides already have made pretty clearly. Rocket000 04:05, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What's wrong with leaving it permanently protected as I originally uploaded it? — It's specific enough that it will never need editing. If you truly think there's a good reason to do otherwise, then do whatever you like… delete it or move it, just don't put my name on it if you do. ¦ Reisio 06:33, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of whether or not it should ever change, this is a wiki. We should only use page-protection when there's edit-warring, repeated vandalism, or with heavily used images. I'm generally against all indef protection, myself (at least in the gallery/image namespace). Reisio, I'm just trying help solve the issue. I know you feel you picked a perfectly ok name for the image, however, don't look at it like that. This isn't a matter of what's the "best" name as we all found out we can't agree; this is about resolving this issue - compromising. Others have a problem with your name, and you have a problem with their name. Why not meet 'em in the middle? Let's put aside who's right and who's wrong and come up with a third option together. Is that too much to ask? Rocket000 06:56, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's too much to ask. This file was already a compromise, and it's named exactly what it is. ¦ Reisio 07:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok then, sorry for asking. I think I'll step back from this issue and let someone else try to resolve it :) Peace. Rocket000 08:41, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, Keep (I think you know my reasons.) -Rocket000 08:46, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I have seen arguments at three different projects. They are still discussing it at it.wp. Discussion of the image resulted in a block at en.wp from Reisio's inappropriate commentary. And I have seen the multiple talk pages that argue the correctness or incorrectness of the image. I even looked up Pantone colors and found a website that explicitly stated that the colors of the textile product would be different from those shown in the electronic medium. The official Pantone color of the middle band is named "bright white" which is coded as #F1F2F1 in hexadecimal color codings. All vector images of the Italian flag on the Commons have a white band. Reisio's is the only one that has an offwhite band. This offwhite band is the electronic equivalent of the Pantone color "Bright White" which I assume in real life is not an offwhite hue. Rocket000's examples above, Image:Flag of Italy.png, Image:Nuvola Italy flag.svg, and Image:Animated-Flag-Italy.gif are really bad analogies. The first is a png form of what has been updated at Image:Flag of Italy.svg (older revisions of the SVG image show the darker green and red bands). Image:Nuvola Italy flag.svg is drawn in a way that makes it appear the flag is waving and shadows are being cast, causing different shades. Image:Animated-Flag-Italy.gif is the same, but a gif and shows the hex white. There are arguments everywhere that this particular depiction of the Italian flag is not right. Why should the Commons host an inaccurate image?—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 10:54, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not arguing anymore, but I do feel the need to point out why I listed those of images. Not as analogies of anything. The first one was to show other variations exist. And those other variations aren't being contest somehow. It's hypocritical to say there's only one "correct" interpretation and only say there's a problem with this particular version. The icon I just threw in to show it in a different form, like how the photo was used above. The last one was a joke about compromising since it alternated between white and gray. Just wanted to clarify. Rocket000 11:10, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I understand there are variations, but they are variations on the shades of red and green. It's hard to use the "shades" of white, because most turn grey or have some sort of colored tinge to them.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:40, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So, it looks like it is a useless image, not used on any project, uncorrectly named (see the conversions from Pantone to RGB) and, most probably, uploaded to make a point. Are we going to delete it, as asked by several people, or not? --TcfkaPanairjdde 19:51, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I read all the pages (a lot of discussion pages, of course) but, to conclude, this image is, simply, wrong: Reisio is the only one who say "grey grey!". I'm Italian, and my flag is not green-grey-red! --Yoruno 17:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Consenus is that this is a poor version of the Italian flag. It fits the criteria of "Files that add nothing educationally distinct to the collection of images we already hold covering the same subject". The image is used nowhere in any of the wikisisters projects and is often a source for edit wars. Udonknome (talk) 03:00, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delete Repeated deletion requests should be strongly discouraged, particularly where nothing has changed since the last one. However, in this case, since the last DR Commons' Scope has been clarified, and we now have to consider whether - as alleged - this falls within the ambit of "Files that add nothing educationally distinct to the collection of images we already hold covering the same subject". The file is unused except for a couple of pages which discuss it. As we already have a perfectly good representation of the Italian flag, I would say that this one is indeed not educationally distinct unless anyone is able to point to some possible use for this particular image that could not be satisfied by the other. If a distinct use can be proposed I would be happy to change my mind, but at the moment I think the file should go. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 05:11, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Derivative work of copyrighted photograph 62.216.198.20 02:18, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Per nom. — Giggy 02:25, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • So a picture of his guestbook at his funeral isn't allowed because his photo is near it? So very sad. This photo of him appears to be from when he was a bit younger than when he died, and appears to be previously unpublished (I can't find it online). Might I go out on a limb and argue the photo has no copyright because under Italian law for a photograph of a person to bear copyright, the authorized copy of it must contain attribution of authorship? (See article 90[22]) And in any case would expire 20 years after making the photograph? (I know PD-Italy was deleted, but in some cases it may be appropriate to utilize this provision of law). Pavarotti looks younger in this photo, possibly more than 20 years younger. -Nard 05:25, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Italy has ratified the EU directive harmonizing the term of copyright protection (see [23]), so 70 years pma apply. --62.216.198.20 11:40, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No they haven't (entirely). That's why if you go to the Italian Wikipedia article on Pavarotti and click on most of the photos you'll see a warning not to copy the files to Commons, because Commons does not accept this exception in Italian law (even though we do for other countries in Europe for what the Germans call lichtbild or roughly "simple photos", for example at {{PD-Denmark50}}. See also Template talk:PD-Italy). And so I am arguing that in some cases we should allow these photos, even though generally we do not. This photograph was legally taken in Italy. It is not a "derivative work of copyrighted photograph" as you allege in the deletion request. -Nard 12:00, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I see your point. But I do not agree that we should make an exception for this picture, since the fact that the photograph is only a part of the overall composition probably does not alter its copyright status in most EU countries. Just the photograph of Pavarotti would not be kept here on Commons. In any case, the current CC-BY-SA license is misleading. The picture should be deleted and uploaded locally on it.wp. --62.216.198.20 12:58, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It's primarily a photograph of a copyrighted portrait, not a photo of his funeral guestbook. If it were possible to crop the copyvio out of the shot then a revised version might work, but that's really the central element. Durova 20:43, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question (since I'm not too familiar with the Italian law): Inside Italy, is the Pavarotti photograph considered public domain? And if so, in Italy (the country of origin for this photograph), would the uploader be considered the full owner of copyright in this image? If so, technically the copyright status of the uploaded photo is fine in Italy and also the U.S. (since the U.S. uses the country of origin's law to determine the copyright owner). However if countries in the rest of Europe would consider this photo a copyrighted derivative work of the Pavarotti photograph, that may still be a problem for keeping it on commons. Carl Lindberg 07:05, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • You've hit the nail on the head. That's why generally these images are not allowed on Commons. However since the photo was legal to take, it is NOT a derivative work. -Nard 17:43, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The subject of this photo is Pavarotti's photograph, and it would be of minimal or no value at all if it didn't contain it, so it is a derivative work if not in part copy of the original photo. Geraki TLG 17:25, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from David Shapisky

FYI On some of the specific images mentioned:

I took the image Image:E rollsigns.jpg along with many other images of the NYC subway. The real source is me. So how can it be said that this is not clear? I do no understand your objection. Perhaps you ought to visit pingnews on flickr and see how original images taken by me are cataloged separately from public domain images. I am afraid I can not control how others use the photos I create or may unearth from the public domain even when I offer the clearest guidance I could.

As for Prince Abdul, I have just added information that was neglected and indicated clearly that it is from the National Archives collections and is believed to be in the public domain.

David

Please also note that this problem with flickr not offering a public domain license has come up in the past and I have solicited the advice of others, including flickr as to whether they have an alternative solution besides posting lots of information about a work being in the public domain only to have people ignore it.

David

Please note the following before you rush to judgment.

First, I agree that the template as it has been used is wrong and ought to be deleted. I never envisioned it would be used this way by others. None of these photos were posted by pingnews as far as I am aware.

Second, one of the reasons why we ended up with this template (as you will find if you check the record of its creation) is that some of the photos that may be found on the pingnews flickr site or elsewhere are my work. These photos are clearly labeled as such where appropriate on my own sites.

When trying to create a template, however, to respond to the need created by users freely using these photos (public domain and otherwise) we tried to come up with a solution that would allow for posting but still say via pingnews. Part of the reason for that is obvious. Traffic is traffic. But the other reason was to provide a way to source-backward. If you go to the pingnews flickr site, you will see that much of the public domain material is already organized by agency, that every source is tagged, that there are sets by photographer, public domain, nasa, library of congress, etc. This backward linkage is hopefully a means to help ensure that people can get back to the actual repository for the work to ask questions, such as those pertaining to rights.

As it stands, people have posted the photos without the information and the attribution license has been transformed into something it was never intended to be. PINGNews has no interest or desire to mislabel works. Aside from the fact that it violates our editorial policy, it also hurts our attempts to publicize the service. We have every reason to want people to know that they can find public domain works by photographers on our site and that they can find the original sources if they wish. We have every reason to want to work with all organizations, like librarians, wikimedia, etc. to make this completely public and up front.

To clarify matters further, pingnews has added this language to the flickr profile page:

"Please Read Before Using any Photos: Understanding the Public Domain Collections: PINGNews is an attempt to make resources more available using readily available resources. We ask that people using our materials recognize and respect copyright rules. This means, for instance, that public domain materials are labeled "public domain." We also encourage users to include as much information as possible from the public record, especially with regard to the photographer and the archival repository (i.e. Library of Congress, National Archives, NASA, etc.) In most cases, we provide this information. We do recognize, however, that an entire catalog record may be too much for a citation. In these instances, we suggest at minimum that the user source the photographer's name and agency where the source was created or now resides. At the top of every description is suggested language. If there is specific attribution language provided by the original source that is posted in the description area as well.

Copyright and flickr -- On flickr, where most of our photos are posted there has not been a "public domain" license available. As a result we label this information as clearly as possible and place it into our public domain collections. WHEN THE IMAGE IS IN TE PUBLIC DOMAIN: Please DO NOT CREDIT PINGNEWS for a photo taken by someone else. We are grateful if there is a line that says "via pingnews" so that we can alert others to this free service. But that is not required. Additionally, all users of any copyrighted materials must make their own judgment about whether specific uses are permissible. We encourage people to return to the source and also to use services like Creative Commons and Wikimedia to find public domain material as well as guidance on copyright questions.

PINGNews Photos Photos done for pingnews are labeled as well and are available for use with attribution. Please contact us with any questions."

Here is my response to the specific discussion above:

I deeply resent the allegation that this is copyright fraud. I am an academic historian who has spent his entire life teaching, working as a journalist on substantive stories as much as possible, and producing for public television and non-profits. If I have made any errors, I am willing to admit them. My father was an artist, too who worked in obscurity, toiling away in poverty while other people made millions. Respecting creative work, valuing beauty, understanding the efforts of the creator -- these are all part of my life as is the importance of truth and integrity. I built my reputation as an investigative journalist on just those things and have always told my students to do no less.

Perhaps this page ought to be deleted but it does not represent what we thought we were doing when the template was created in the first place. Perhaps the entire idea was a mistake in the first place although I do not think the thousands of contacts -- many museums, the association of librarians, and others in the field of information sharing would agree. This is about bringing information into the light, not selling it but sharing it. With more resources perhaps there would be more options for doing so.

In direct response to the sugggestion of "fraud":

There is no "public domain" license in flickr that I can find. All the public domain images are clearly labeled as such. There is no indication of a Required credit or attribution. The descriptions (in most cases) say "suggested attribution." I receive no person gain as a direct result. In fact there are companies that sell these public domain images for a fee. What I am is an historian, journalist, and independent who works with what resources I have available to help others find information that they might not find otherwise. Is it fraudulent to have this disclosure in the public domain section: "The works in this collection may be used for free. According to the source, they are believed to be in the public domain. Please note, however, that while some photos are unrestricted, others may require attribution. The general rule: identify the photographer, physical location of the photo, and any other pertinent information regarding rights." Is it fraudulent to include the entire record for a photo as this example for a photo by Dorothea Lange: "Public Domain. Suggested credit: USDA via pingnews. Additional source information from USDA: Image Number: 00di0933 CD8151-933 Location: On Arizona Highway 87, south of Chandler, Maricopa Co., Arizona

Date: November 1940

A migratory family living in a trailor in an open field. No sanitation, no water. They came from Amarillo, Texas; pulled bolls near Amarillo; picked cotton near Roswell, New Mexico and in Arizona. They plan to return to Amarillo at close of cotton picking season for work on WPA.

USDA Photo by: Dorothea Lange"

PINGNews is actually trying to help photos see the light of day. I would be absolutely delighted if there were another way for me to use my expertise for the purpose of revealing these photos to others. You should note that the PINGNews service has been used by humanities institutions, scholars, public broadcasters, and has been recognized by some digital librarians as being a "museum". How can anyone be deceived by a clear label: "Public Domain" with all the information possible from the original source. Granted mistakes and omissions may be made but the vast majority of photos should have this information.

I welcome suggestions on how to make this planer. I could remove the "suggested attribution completely" but when I had no suggestion people cited me as the source, something that I have had to correct. Now at least they say "via pingnews" and any attributions are supposed to cite the photographer and agency where the photo came from.

May be you should delete this page. It was created because I was correcting photos that made pingnews as the source rather than the vehicle. Perhaps I should give up all attempts to offer this expertise free to people. This effort began in response to concerns that documentary filmakers were being cut off from a supply of photos, video, sound. I myself had to struggle to make documentaries for public television on a very low budget about such things as the Brown Decision. We were hamstrung by things like music rights and photo searches. Photo searches have been very expensive and while the situation is much improved with the expansion of Creative Commons, the wealth of material does not necessarily make it easier to find the quality.

Comments like this certainly lead me to question whether this effort is worth the time and expenditure of resources. I do not, however, care whether you delete this page or not.

I do hope that you understand the point of pingnews and not throw stones at people trying to do things as best as they can. If there is any better way to share these photos, please let us know.

Be well.

Edwin Abbott Abbott was British, PD-US probably not applicable 62.216.198.20 16:18, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • While PD-US is probably not applicable, the photograph is still probably in the public domain. The subject of the photograph (Edwin A. Abbott) died in 1926 at the age of 87. He is considerably younger than that in the photograph so it is reasonable to assume it was taken before 1900. Since the copyright on artistic works (including photographs) expires after 50 years from the death of the artist, or if the artist is unknown, from the date of creation), it seems reasonable to assume the copyright for this photograph has expired in the United Kingdom. See Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (c. 48). Henryhartley 16:35, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. The link to CDPA 1988 is out of date, as the period was increased later to 70 years. There is at least a reasonable probability that the photographer (who may have been quite young at the time) died less than 70 years ago. MichaelMaggs 15:42, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • According to her biography the vast part of her career was in the US. [28] It is possible this is a US work with no registered copyright. If it is a Canadian work (also possible from her history) it is also PD. Keep as it is PD in either of the two countries it was likely made. -Nard 14:19, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

David Shapinsky copyfraud, this is no US government work. It is credited as a NY Times file photo (possibly copyright not renewed though) -Nard 19:45, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Obviously the NYT note conflicts with the claim that it's a work for hire for the United States government. Delete until/unless there's confirmation that copyright wasn't renewed. Durova 20:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Changing to neutral per the explanation below. I still have concerns because this photograph is dated eight years before the U.S. entry into the war. Are we sure this was covered by that purchase? Durova 08:00, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • It from the NY Times Paris bureau, which presumably was there in 1933. The ECA purchased all of their files; the 63,000 is just the subset which apply to the war and thus of interest to WWII researchers but the purchase apparently had even more items than that. If it was taken by a NYTimes staff photographer, then yes it is covered. If it was a print of a third-party photo which the NYTimes bureau happened to have a copy of, then there may be an issue (of course Anonymous-EU may apply in that case too). Carl Lindberg 08:08, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, According to this, The Economic Cooperation Administration, a predecessor of the U.S. Information Agency, in 1950 purchased the New York Times Paris Bureau photographic files; approximately 63,000 photographs in these files relate to the war., and NARA says this is unrestricted.
    {{PD-USGov-NARA}} warns against using that template; is there a better template, or should we create one to cover these 63 thousand images. John Vandenberg 01:01, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • If kept, use PD-author or create a new tag. The collection page says Prints stamped New York Times with the Paris address are in the public domain as are the glass negatives of original photographs. Copyright restrictions may apply to all other prints and copy negatives. They did mark this photo as OK, though I don't see the address (maybe it's just cropped).

 Comment I don't know... it's pretty far removed from the real logo. Remember Commons:Deletion requests/Archive/2007/08#Image:Own windows logo.svg? It's been Commons policy to allow images like this and the ones penubag listed above. I almost said delete because it doesn't make sense to use a fake logo when illustrating it - fair use of the real one is preferable, however, I can see these fake logos being used on user pages and in things like article stub templates. If the community feels they are too similar maybe more alteration can solve the issue? →Rocket°°° 06:02, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Merely inputting a copyrighted image into image software and making a few changes to it is most likely not sufficient to acquire copyright for the creator of the new image. I would argue that this is akin to those persons who think that because they scan an image from a magazine into their computer, perform some image processing to improve color tones, etc., that they have somehow, magically, acquired a form of copyright that permits their (exlusive) use of the image on their webpages. — SpikeToronto 05:09, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment The above having been said, I cannot imagine either of the two major political parties ever objecting to a supporter using their logo on a webpage to illustrate that support! Thus, I could not imagine any litigation, let alone a cease-and-desist letter, ever being issued by either of the political parties arising from such use of their logos. — SpikeToronto 05:09, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The purpose of the image was just for userboxes, nothing more -- penubag  05:14, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, as you can tell from my  Comment, I actually wanted the image kept, but voted to delete because (a) it most likely is a copyright violation, and (b) the Democrat logos and the userboxes that link to them are under even greater attack for their removal. To me, fairness dictates that if use of one party's logo is a copyright violation, then so too is the use of the other party's logo. But, again, I could never imagine a political party objecting to the use of its logo by a supporter … — SpikeToronto 05:59, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment By the way, since it has been more than five days since this debate started and since the Delete obviously outnumber the Keep, shouldn’t this debate be (1) closed, and (2) the image deleted? — SpikeToronto 05:12, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question: I notice that the creator of this free-licence image has the elephant’s trunk in an upward position, while the non-free fair-use image has the trunk in a downward position. Would that not be enough to distinguish the image under debate from the official logo? If so, then I would like to change my delete vote to a Keep. — SpikeToronto 22:42, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep No good reason to delete. It is not a copyright violation, and it is in use at Wikipedia. Diligent Terrier 20:23, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Any reasoning behind those assertions? And being in use does not mean it conforms to the Commons licensing policy. RedCoat 22:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so. dbking is known for making high quality images. --Flominator 18:43, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
dbking does publicity work in Washington D.C. (see his Flickr profile page here and gets access to some of the more interesting events it would seem. He specifically mentions being part of the 2001 NBA All-Star game held in Washington, which is where this photo is from (see here, another of his images from that event). So yes, this photo is almost certainly fine. However, we could do without the copy-and-paste of the entire en-wiki article on him as an image description (dbking does that sometimes) :-) And actually.... we already have two duplicates of this image here (with a better description) and here. Both of those are widely used, but this one is not, so we should delete this as a duplicate. Carl Lindberg 01:42, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have placed the duplicate template on the two images that have (in my opinion) the least good descriptions.

I'm all for pics of nude women on Commons, but this one is unused and could use a better name -Nard 15:51, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep "Fuck you!" seems to be the title of the work, as used on Flickr. --Simonxag 16:38, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Gosh I'm sick of those deletion requests of nude pictures! Here's my triple POV:

  1. it's a work by Dutch artist Peter Klashorst so it could illustrate his work (and it doesn't matter what one personally thinks about him and his work). And if one says something like "we only need a few pictures for the WP article", I'd answer "so why don't we also delete most of the works available on Commons for artists like Renoir or anybody?" Also, Commons is not only made for WP.
  2. when I uploaded it, it was part of a will to correct the bias among the offer of nude pictures on Commons. Indeed most of them were White/Caucasian people. I tried to diversify the offer in order to show a better diversity of human reality by uploading Black and Asian nudes. (actually it's a work on progress, I may continue later, and also try to find male nudes)
  3. as for the title, I kept the original title (I suppose it may be logical for a work of an artist) and added "(nude)" as a description. I'd understand if one would like to re-upload it under another name though I'd prefer it to keep the original title - for instance I propose "Fuck you! (nude by artist Peter Klashorst)".
    Thanks for your comprehension. --TwoWings (ID confirmed on my talk page) 86.67.47.199 17:44, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • "Klashorst specializes in painting and photographing young women, particularly from the Netherlands and several African countries. He also has a wife and children in Africa.[1][2] In 2000, in primarily Muslim Senegal, his art caused him to end up in custody of the police for some weeks.[3][4][5][6]He was suspected of taking advantage of prostitution, inciting debauchery, and the production of obscene pictures, because he had painted local women in the nude. By bribing officials, he managed to buy his freedom,[7] and he sneaked into Gambia to flee the country.[8]On another visit in 2003 he was also deported from Gambia for pornographic paintings.[2]"[29]

  • Keep We have no proof of age? That might be right, but when do we ever have a proof of age. I don't see many pictures were you find comments like "the model is ** years old". And even if she was underage: so what. This picture is no pornography, she is just being naked. We even have a Category for naked children. This is just as pornographic as a teenager at a nudist beach. Conclusion: even if we had proof that she was underage (which we don't have), this wouldn't be a reason for deletion! As long as it's not clearly pornographic, age is not an argument.--Lamilli (talk) 17:46, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete The concept of what is and what's not pornography varies from person to person, but given the work title, i don't think it can be argued the work has no pornographic connotations. Platonides (talk) 20:31, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The publication without explicit consent of photographs of identifiable nudes in a private setting is particularly intrusive and damaging to the subject, and we should insist on proper OTRS permission in every such case. Here, there is also the very real possibility that she may be under age, but regardless of her age the photograph clearly has to go. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 19:56, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On the contrary, there is a very serious risk that the subject's personality rights have been breached by the publication of this image on the internet and by its release under a free licence. So far as I am aware the photographer has not once even asserted, let alone demonstrated, that he obtained a subject-release. If he can show he has such a release the image could be kept, but his silence when asked implies strongly that he does not. The burden of proof lies squarely with the photographer and the uploader to show that no rights have been violated. It is simply not good enough to say: (a) I cannot or will not prove that this subject gave consent, and (b) that because of (a) "we have no indication personality rights may have been violated". --MichaelMaggs (talk) 11:22, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment: From my point of view the whole issue is ridiculous. It's about prudish people trying to delete pictures depicting nudity. The question of the model being +18 or not would be of importance if we were talking about pornography. Indeed, we don't want any kiddy porn around here. But this picture is NOT pornographic, it's not ever quasi pornographic (some pictures of Klashorst might be considered pornographic, this one certainly not).--Lamilli (talk) 13:37, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Unfortunately, someone has decided to split the Klashorst deletion requests into several, separate deletion requests, which means the discussion has ended up all over the place. I think all the arguments in favour of deletion have been done to the death. Policy requires deletion. I will, however, copy-paste this refutation of every possible argument for keeping these (for all those reading this for the sixth time, sorry to spam every DR with the same crap, but that's pretty much what the keepers are doing, and doing this saves me time over refuting each argument individually). Enjoy the copypasta:
    1. Peter Klashorst is a prolific publisher of nude photos: So was R@ygold and the swirl face guy, and we're not about to start hosting their picture collection. That someone has a huge collection of such pictures on his Flickr account means nothing at all. This would only be valid in the case of, say, the Suicide Girls -- a business that we can count upon to get the requisite documentation before publishing (and as a side-note, hire photographers with talent, as well, something Klashorst should consider).
    2. Peter Klashorst is an artist: He's a painter, and possibly one that nobody would give a damn about if he hadn't got arrested for some rather unsavoury activity in Senegal some time ago. However good he is at painting, he is an amateur photographer. Or to put it less delicately, he's a not-quite-half-talented hack and it shows; even if he had an Uzi to his head I doubt that he'd be able to take a photo that wouldn't go down in flames at FPC like a skyscraper in New York (inb4 "so can you do better?" -- I don't have to be an expert on trains to tell you that a skateboard is not a train). He is certainly not an artistic or professional photographer. As such, we should apply the same standards to Klashorst as we would with anyone.
    3. His pictures are of posed artists: Bullshit. We know exactly where he finds the girls he photographs (it's not like his penchant for prostitutes is a secret, guys). And this is, again, made less likely by the fact that the kind of people that rent studio models can, at the least, take a half-decent picture if their life depended on it. So again, feel free to compare Klashorst's works to some of our Suicide Girls, for example: the difference between Klashorst and a professional studio photographer is roughly the difference between the paper airplane I just folded and a B-52 Stratofortress.
    4. These are not pornographic, so the age issue is irrelevant: An interesting position to take; try calling the party van and telling them that you have some nude pictures of under-age girls on your computer. Your end will be playing "mommies and daddies" in the prison showers with a fat, hairy fellow convict. Admit it: if these photos had any technical merit, they'd be soft-core porn. But we could even grant this premise and we'd still have the issue that there is no evidence that the models have given their consent for more-or-less unlimited publication of these pictures, so we don't even need to make this argument.
    5. Commons is not censored: Well, yes it is actually. We don't host child pornography on Commons, for example. We also don't host copyright violations. We are as uncensored as we can be within our legal (and moral) obligations. This is not an argument in itself; it is hand-waving to try and distract people from the real issues at hand.
    6. The related argument of This is a (possibly Senegalian Muslim) crusade to get rid of nudes from Commons: No, it's not. I am not a prude, nor do I really care to get rid of every nude from Commons. What I do care about is that we live up to our legal (and moral) obligations as codified in our policy on identifiable photographs of living people. Every one of these Klashorst photos fails our obligations on this count, and I'm damned if we should make an exception for Klashorst "becuz he's famous lol".

  • delete while there is a role on commons for nudes in general delete per Lewis Collard.Geni (talk) 17:47, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • DeleteThere have been many arguments presented here. All very good, but most are irrelevant none the less. Some have offered up the opinion that Klashorst is a notable artist, others that his models might be prostitutes. Some have wanted to consider whether these photos are pornographic, and some have asserted that those who wish to delete this photo are prudish and/or embrace censorship. Some, all, or none of these assertions may be true. Regardless of the validity of these points, these arguments are not justification for refusing to uphold our legal and ethical responsibilities, and our own policies.
    And, here is where I’m going to cite our own policy: Because of the expectation of privacy, the consent of the subject should normally be sought before uploading any photograph featuring an identifiable individual that has been taken in a private place, whether or not the subject is named. Even in countries that have no law of privacy, there is a moral obligation on us not to upload photographs which infringe the subject's reasonable expectation of privacy. This photo (and the other Klashorst photos of identifiable people) simply does not conform to our requirement that if a photograph is taken in a private setting, we ‘must’ have model consent.
    In addition, because of the nature of the photo, we must also be certain that the author of the work has indeed verified the model’s age and found them to be at least 18 years age. I am not confident Mr Klashorst has done so. Should anyone feel so strongly about keeping these photos, please contact him to have him forward the appropriate documentation. In the absence of such, we must delete this photo, and the other Klashorst photos that have been brought forth for deletion. On a personal note, I’d like to compel the community to consider the following - would you vote ‘keep’, or want the rest of us to vote ‘keep’, if this were your daughter’s photo or your niece’s photo posted here under the same circumstances? How would we justify that? We couldn’t, thank goodness. Just as we can’t justify keeping this photo. Brynn(talk) 03:48, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that Bryan has already contacted Peter Klashorst seeking permissions, clarifications, model releases, and suchlike and has received no response. Mr. Klashorst is after all under no obligation to respond, since these pictures were harvested from Flickr, but if he does not respond, policy is clear, we are under no obligation to host them, and in fact we are under obligation to NOT host them. I'm sorry for nominating only a few at a time, I was trying to leave some of them in place but I see now that the thing to do is to nominate the entire body of his work, and offering to exempt any image for which the proper documentation is in place. If there are any such. ++Lar: t/c 05:20, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep No need to create a Lex Peter Klashorst for a professional photographer. Btw.: I have proposed one of his "possibly underaged" :-) pics here. Mutter Erde (talk) 08:24, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your keep has been struck. You already commented Keep, above. Don't do that again, it's disruptive. I'd further suggest that you actually read the VP thread you reference, especially my last comment. This isn't going to come down to a vote, it's going to come down to an application of policy. This photo is in violation of multiple policies and unless the violations are corrected by supplying adequate documentation, or unless someone can provide a compelling reason why it's not a violation, or why policy doesn't apply, it will be deleted. No one commenting Keep has done that. Handwaving about artists and "I like it" doesn't cut it. It is time that this gets internalised, this issue has gone on far too long. Your comments, in particular, are singularly unhelpful. ++Lar: t/c 11:37, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I believe the editor was commenting about the new debate that has been introduced i.e. the deletion of all of Klashorst's work. --Simonxag (talk) 10:30, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for Klashort's images but possible delete for this one. Klashorst is a recognized artist (his being persecuted by governments of the religious right for "pornographic paintings" does not change this) who deals mainly with the female nude. His subjects are models posing for an artist not private people in private settings. On the other hand pedo hysteria is in full flow and the Netherlands (where the artist comes from) has a very low age of consent. We should be wary of nude images wher the model might be underage. Most importantly STOP LIBELING THE MODELS!!!!. In western societies an artist's model is a most respectable profession (even for those who slept with randy Mr. Picasso), but prostitution is not. I am appalled by Wiki admins claiming to be protecting these women's moral rights and then smearing them without a shred of evidence. If you want to claim that any particular person is a prostitute prove it: that is exactly what you may have to do in court! --Simonxag (talk) 10:30, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep We want to stockpile as many (freely-licensed) views of the subject as we can. The other images look to be quite a bit better for use on wikipedia articles, but that is no reason to delete this one. Carl Lindberg 01:57, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I understood the guidelines, it says that a file can be deleted, when it is redundant through a better but not identical one – which is provided by this picture. Plus the old image is awfully compressed. Lecartia 14:08, 5 January 2008 (UTC) [reply]
True, so it comes down to interpretation of "redundant" :-) To me, that means almost-but-not-quite identical photos, to the point they show the same exact aspects of the subject (usually meaning photos in the same series taken at the same time). Other photos will almost always show the subject in some other way. In this case, for example, it shows the castle on a cloudy day, unlike the others, and shows more of the surrounding area than the others do, which may be of interest to someone. Photos taken in different years can show changes over time, which would be of use for someone researching the castle. I have heard of experimental technology which can create a 3-D model of a subject given enough 2-D photos at enough angles, so the fact this is a slightly different angle could be of help there (it would show a couple of details not in the other photos). There are lots of other potential reasons too.
I would certainly use your newer photos on wikipedia articles (they are very nice BTW), and I would replace it in the Neustrelitz gallery, but I would leave it in the Stadtkirche Neustrelitz gallery (and category if it is eventually created) so that people looking for more in-depth information than shown in the Wikipedia article can find it. In short, I think deleting perfectly useful, freely-licensed content that people have taken the time to upload should almost never be done. It's very hard to predict what future uses there could be, so I would almost always err on the side of keeping. Your reasons are very good ones for replacing the images on Wikipedia articles and other places as better overview images, but that (to me) is not a reason for deletion. Carl Lindberg 03:01, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Carl, I see your point. The experimental technology which creates a 3D models of 2D photos sounds interesting and useful, so how could I disagree with you? You are right with your statement about the usage of the photo and the photo itself. I haven’t seen it from this angle, my apologies. So should I remove the deletion requests or just wait?

So what? Do you intend to remove all images from Commons that do not comply with the laws of one particular country? Fine, so I request that all images be removed that are considerd works in the Public Domain because they were published in the USA before 1923 - no such law exists, for example, in Denmark, so the images must disappear from Commons.

Image:Nobel Prize Medal 2.jpg + Image:Nobel Prize.png

edit

The Nobel Prize medal is still copyrighted, so this is copyvio. This has already been discussed, see Commons:Deletion requests/Archive/2006/07#Nobel Prize and all medal photos within --Mormegil 16:47, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As I saw a notice pointing to en:Wikipedia:Media copyright questions/Archive/2007/November#Nobel Prize (R) Medal images, I would like to add some more info: The medal has been published before 1923, so according to US copyright law, this image is probably public domain in the USA [30], however, it is definitely not public domain in much of the rest of the world, specifically in Europe. What is the current position of Commons to such images? Do we allow them here, or not? At the very least, the license template would need to be changed, probably to {{PD-US}}. --Mormegil 17:02, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Information from Commons talk:Licensing#PD only in US (Nobel Prize medal): Commons accept only works that are free/PD at least in the country of origin. The Nobel Prize medal might be PD in the USA, but not in Sweden, therefore it is not acceptable on Commons. --Mormegil 14:38, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Nobel prize medals in these images are sculpted by Erik Lindberg [31], who was active in Svenska Myntverket until 1943.[32]. So, although I have not been able to find his year of death, these images are under copyright at least until January 1st, 2014. --MPorciusCato 18:24, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, you could just take a look at the linked previous request (or at Wikipedia ;-) ): Erik Lindberg lived 1873–1966, so the medals are under copyright until January 1st, 2037. --Mormegil 18:38, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Under the DCMA in the US this image is perfectly valid until the copyright holder sends a notice of complaint, and a takedown notice is filed. The medal was published before 1923 as well. —the preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.225.219.63 (talk • contribs)

You are talking about US law, fair use, and similar things. That are all valid reasons why this image can be at English Wikipedia. But this is Wikimedia Commons, and we have much stricter rules about what is and what is not acceptable here. --Mormegil 22:39, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I find this argument to be quite persuasive. The image was created as a work for hire for the Nobel Foundation and published (issued to recipients) starting in 1902. Thus, its copyright expired 75 years later, in 1977. The only reason that this was deleted from English Wikipedia is that a particular querulous user filibustered the issue until he got his way. (This same user has also tried to claim that English Wikipedia can't use the photo without permission even under a valid claim of fair use.) There is absolutely no reason to believe that the medal's image, created over 100 years ago, is still under copyright. Crotalus horridus 04:39, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that Commons rules require that the image must be PD both in the US (the servers are here) and in the country of origin. In Sweden (an EU country), there are no special rules for work made for hire. The rule is simply 70 years pma, or for anonymous works, 70 years after publication. This is not an anonymous work, although it was a work made for hire. We know the author, Erik Lindberg, and his identity was revealed during the copyright term of the work. (If the author would have been revealed after the termination of the 70 years term, the work would remain in PD.) This work is clearly under Swedish copyright protection until 31st December 2036. So, even if it were PD in the US, it is not PD in Sweden. --MPorciusCato 07:26, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mmm, this seems to be a big todo about nothing. I don't have any research to contribute to this argument, just some thoughts. It's... not really /that/ big of a deal, is it? I mean, you see the Medal on all kinds of stuff, I doubt the Nobel Foundation cares if it's used or not, unless you're falsely awarding it. Since Wikipedia is a /free/ encylopedia, I especially doubt they care; Wikipedia is making no ill gains from it and is merely showing who has and hasn't earned it. No harm done, yes? Plus, I'm sure everyone knows that Wikipedia doesn't actually own the Nobel Prize. You'd have to be pretty silly in the head to think that. If the argument is about the fact that someone created a copy of it, then sorry, I guess I'm just confused as to what the difference is between this image and the other Nobel Prize vectors. Though, on that note, I believe that, if we must delete it, we should do it because there are several images just like it (that apparently have the right stuff), and so it's just wasting space, not because it doesn't have just exactly what you're looking for in copyright jargon. Sorry, I just find Wikipedia's copyright policies to be a bit confusing (which is why I don't upload images). I guess maybe I'm just ignorant.--12.207.142.70 07:20, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The principle of the Wikimedia Commons is to host free content. This really means free. "It's copyrighted, but no one will sue" is not enough. If you consider the scope of the whole Wikimedia Foundation, you can be sure that someone would sue if we hosted copyrighted material. We are already rather painful for many large organizations, as we point out where the public domain lies. --MPorciusCato 11:03, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
MPorciusCato, you argue that "no one will sue", so then what's the point of deleting it? Why not just move the image to the English Wikipedia and tag it with {{PS-US}} instead? Taric25 00:42, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don’t get your point. This (or equivalent) image already is on the English Wikipedia, see en:Image:Nobel medal dsc06171.jpg. This debate talks about its fate here, on Wikimedia Commons. If you care only about en:, and not about Wikimedia Commons, there is not much point in arguing here. --Mormegil 10:16, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep BUT REPLACE Why not just replace the image with a gold disc? Or, perhaps a gold disc with "Nobel Prize" in it. That respects the copyright claim and should instantly propogate to all pages where the link is used.--75.59.139.48 22:23, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We already have Image:Nobel prize medal.svg and it is used on many wikis. I don’t see the point in sneaking an image underneath a completely different one (not to mention that it is impossible to change jpg for svg), it would look completely ridiculous in some articles (imagine e.g. the image in the article about Erik Lindberg). --Mormegil 09:35, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Almost certainly fair use as applied, regardless of copyright term length in different countries. If WC had to obey absolutely every country's rules, nothing at all would be allowed. And there isn't a snowball's chance in hell that the Nobel committee will prosecute people for using tiny icons of Nobel Prizes in the context of talking about Nobel prizes. But if you really want to chicken out of the non-existent threat, replace the image with a gold circle with only a letter N.76.85.197.151 01:07, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please, try to read at least either the above replies, or Commons:Licensing. You are right that this image can be subject to fair use in some Wikipedia articles, however, fair use images are not allowed on Wikimedia Commons. We don’t insist on “absolutely every country’s rules”, we require that the image is free in (at least) the country of origin, and in the U.S. And finally, there already is a replacement image similar to what you suggest: Image:Nobel prize medal.svg. --Mormegil 15:25, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As per COM:L "WC only accepts media that is PD in the USA and the source country of the work", here Sweden, and per Swedish copyright law (Ch 4. Art. 43), "Copyright in a work shall subsist until the end of the seventieth year after the year in which the author deceased". There is no provision that I can find regarding works for hire, only anonymous works, which this is not. It is fair use, but that is irrelevant. Atropos235 01:07, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. Unlicensed copyrighted image, its use here would be against Commons:Licensing rules.

There is a free alternative replacement for a symbol of Nobel Prize: (“Nobel” caption only) or  (English text “Nobel Prize Winner”); projects allowing fair use (or similar exceptions applicable to this image) may get a copy of the image at en:Image:Nobel medal dsc06171.jpg. The image is also public domain in the USA, as it has been published prior to 1923. Mormegil 22:10, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No, it's no indication that the girl knows and accept the publication. Also, the file description on commons must be so clear as possible that we know who the photographer is and who the model at the photo, so we can verify if a permission is needed or not.

Renomination #1

Very probably FlickrWashing. 89.244.162.35 13:56, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this "very probable"? I have uploaded lots of images from a broad variety of Flickr users who chose to license their images with a CC license compatible with what Commons requires. Why should I steal an image from elsewhere, open up a bogus Flickr account to upload it to Flickr with a bogus CC license and then transfer it to Commons? Because that is basically what you are accusing me to have done, and it sounds rather grotesque to me. To make it clear: I have done no such thing. Why do you say I did? Do you have any concrete reason to do so, or is it just something you invented because you don't like the image in question? --Vydra (talk) 14:31, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's not your fault, but the licence that someone on FlickR chose seems to be simply wrong. There's a watermark there that makes it look like a porn image from a professional site. And there's no way to check it because the "user is no longer active" on FlickR. --AndreasPraefcke (talk) 09:24, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As I just wrote at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Shanon Cucumber 0415.jpg: The Flickr user (someone from the Netherlands) who took this had uploaded several hundred of images like this. That he chose to put a kind of logo (his own, not that of any website) in the lower right corner of those images does not make it any likelier that this is a copyvio. Would a copyvio come with a image size of several MB and even geodata? Apart from your dubious equation “watermark=professional porn image=copyvio”: Do you have any concrete reason why this image should be a copyvio? --Vydra (talk) 15:26, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The alleged "watermark" is just some text and a smiley widely found on the web, for example here [36] or here [37] (animated gif version). A Google image search [38] shows many more. A commercial porn website would hardly have such a widely used smiley for their logo, would they? --Vydra (talk) 17:38, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Kept - no evidence of flickrwashing has been presented, and I'm inclined to take the uploader at his word. The image was free on flickr, and does contain meta/geodata, which I agree, is unlikely for a porn site image. That it has a watermark/logo is not at all unusual on Commons, or indeed on Flickr. That the flickr user has vanished is problematic, I grant you, but we have the review process for that very reason. Unless solid evidence is presented, rather than just innuendo and accusations, this should be kept. -mattbuck (Talk) 17:51, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Displaying Nazi symbols (in this case, Russian neo-nazi organisation) is allowed for educational purposes ONLY. This image, in contrary, is irrelevant and its purpose is promotion and not education. There is also a precedent. --Jhony08 05:20, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - But for other reasons. I don't believe German/Russian (non-copyright) law applies to commons images hosted in the US (should Chinese/Japan/Iranian/Syrian/French decency law apply here?). The image has no sourcing information and the apparent commons uploader doesn't appear to have uploaded any other other images. The image itself includes a symbol and the potentially copyright cover of a book displayed prominently. Delete as un-sourced, deriv work. Megapixie 06:35, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I got the file undeleted locally at en.wiki and fixed the sourcing, as well as the license (the original license carried GFDL disclaimers). Turns out it's the user page picture of a Wikipedian there. Guess you get what comes to you when you freely license pictures of yourself, they get re-used in other places on the project. The symbols aren't banned in the US, no reason to delete it. -Nard 07:07, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment That still doesn't solve the deriv work on the book cover. Additionally assumption is that it IS a picture of the person who uploaded it (which even if true presents problems since they weren't holding the camera...), which I have beyond a reasonable doubt about (where is the camera metadata ?). I don't know enough Russian to go fishing on google for the original source - but I suspect that it's just a drive by upload. Megapixie 10:39, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Please nominate my user page photo for deletion, I wasn't holding the camera. -Nard 04:43, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • If you didn't get the permission of the person who took the photo to upload it to wikipedia, then you should (nominate it for deletion). The thing is that you are around to answer questions about the image. The person who uploaded this image was around for a total of three hours before disappearing, leaving us unable to resolve concerns about the image. Megapixie 04:59, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
          • So if I leave Wikipedia for say 6 months or a year you'd delete my picture? -Nard 05:17, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
            • If there was doubt either it was public domain, you had taken it, or had explicit permission of the person who did take the picture, then yes - I would vote to delete an such an image. If I upload a copyvio then disappear, is that copyvio then magically protected by my silence ? Megapixie 05:22, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It does seem to have been uploaded as an image of the user. At the very least it is certain that it is how the user wished to be seen. The book is incidental to the picture and the symbol not copyrighted. We don't seem to have problems in other cases where people upload pictures of themselves, clearly they either got friends to hold the camera or used the timer. --Simonxag 13:36, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment - If I wished to be seen as a 7 foot tall Supermodel, that doesn't mean that I can use other people's images of them as I like. The user is question edited en wikipedia for a grand total of 3 hours on November 5, during which I time I doubt they got a good idea about the nature of copyright and how it applies to wikipedia. The book is being held to be seen, and your comment simply doesn't address the problem that we don't know the source of the image for sure. Megapixie 02:54, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment This picture is made like an advertisement of a Russian neo-Nazi organisation. There is a simplest advertisement of a 'for men' brand - a sexy girl who should attract men's attention to the brand. And this image is offensive, but is as informative as a NBP tag on a fence, and therefore it fails Wikipedia:Profanity. And yes, what if I would have registered as a User:David Beckham and would have uploaded an image of him with a "me" explanation? Jhony08 13:01, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I googled and found the photo on the so called "Official site of NBP", in the photos section: [40]. I'll speedy it as a copyvio. Jhony08 14:10, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Undent. So we have three issues:
  • The books inclusion isn't incidental - it's borderline, but I would say it tips it as a deriv work.
  • The images appear to be hosted on a site that would appear IMHO to be the source (the images on that site all appear to be 500 pixels high, coincidence ? The site has another picture of the same girl (and a different girl http://www.nbp-info.ru/new/photo/girls/079.htm immediately following the first image)
  • The original uploader cannot confirm anything about the issue, including the questions of identity and permission. Without any further clarification Occam's razor would suggest that the image is a copyvio.

Keep - The inclusion is incidental, so I've uploaded the image under a more useful filename at Image:Intel Classmate Computer with Windows XP.jpg and deleted this for having a naff filename. We've already got a useful image without the Windows XP screenshot within the image, which is no less useful, so we know that the usefulness of the image doesn't hinge on the inclusion of the Windows XP GUI and that's going to make this incidental inclusion rather than a derivative work.

I hate that, however my parents really think persecution, shock and awe on so-called "predators" when the cop jumps out and the per-osecuted one thinks they're leaving, so they watch it. Anyway, Chris Hansen only documents something when someone wants to have sex with a person under 18.

I'd think the issue here is that Wikimedia/Wikipedia can get really bad press for this.

Comment: IANAL, but w:COPPA says, “[t]he term "operator" [...] does not include any nonprofit entity that would otherwise be exempt from coverage under section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 45).”[43] I haven't looked up that section 5, but it seems to me that this might exempt us.
The EPA has a really strict policy though (see w:COPPA). I don't know if they qualify as nonprofit (as a government organisation), or if they are stricter than the law requires, though. “d. There is no restriction on the dissemination of photos of children, if they are taken in public spaces, with no identification, and are used only for editorial (not advertising) purposes. The use of pre-arranged photos, taken in a protected environment such as a school or hospital, and showing a highly-defined and recognizable image, requires a release; the release must be signed by a parent or teacher. In disseminating photos of children, consider first whether it might create a new vulnerability of unwanted attention for the child(ren).” If we too are required by law to follow this strict a policy, the personal photos would have to be deleted. But I'm not sure about that at all. Comments anyone? -- Ddxc 20:23, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And just for the record, provided that the legal issues are resolved, I'll vote for keeping all images. IOW, the fact that they're personal pictures of an 11-y/o who's not even identified by a real name is not a reason for deletion IMO. -- Ddxc 20:29, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We host the Olympic flag here in several versions, and have for a long time.

So, I don't think we should delete on that basis, but rather on if the rest of this image is copyrightable (unless you feel a NOC's logo is even more protected by these laws, the point there is no legal use on wikipedia articles).

If you can understand italian language, you can read Art.31 of DISPOSIZIONI GENERALI IN MATERIA DI CERIMONIALE E DISCIPLINA DELLE PRECEDENZE TRA LE CARICHE PUBBLICHE (PDF) (that is given as source of this wrong image), where italian government states the color for official textile flag of Italy. This article states also that other versions of the flag must have the same color effect of a certain Pantone color on a certain polyester fiber, and apparence of that textile with that color is truly a plain white, not dirty (pollution-soiled?)

This is not the flag of Italy. The middle color should be white, not grey. 8 people asked for its deletion at the previous deletion request and only the uploader said keep. The decision was closed keep because of scope grounds. I submit that an inaccurate version of a real flag is not within the scope when it is used in articles where the real flag should appear. Specifically the part of COM:SCOPE that requires files to be of high quality. Bad colors on a flag image make it of poor quality and authenticity. -Nard 02:26, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm quite serious. The convention here is to keep all versions of an image unless they are exact duplicates, even if they're more or less interchangeable. As far as I can see, the uploader of the image has only claimed that he used one specific system, established and suggested by an external entity (Pantone, Inc.), for the conversion, not that it's the one and only true method or that the results will look the same everywhere. —LX (talk, contribs) 23:07, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We don't talk about a photograph, but a vector image (you can notice by the extension .SVG that means Scalable Vector Graphics). A photo can be in many different shades of white. A vector image must represent the "optimum" light conditions. --F l a n k e r 12:21, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment My opinion has a zero-value here because I'm not an admin. This is a fact. But with simply logical arguments can I tell you that "Bandiera della Repubblica Italiana PMS 20060414.svg" is NOT more specific name than "Italian Flag with Pantone textile color.svg".
  • First: PMS ancronym is NOT an international or wide-used term, but a specific Pantone's industry term. So isn't univocally clear what PMS stand for, without saying that is "Pantone Matching System"....
  • Second: PMS of what? Of a Pantone textile color. My name is more specific.
  • Third: strictly speking "bandiera", cannot be a picture. "Bandiera" is only a piece of cloth that moves in the wind. My name is more correct, because it was similar to all the similar images of "bandiere" in commons... second using flag is better, because commons is international project, so using italian language isn't the better thing to do.
  • Fourth: apparence of Bandiera della Repubblica Italiana is stated by the laws, and has pure, bright, full, totally white. If you want a real "Bandiera della Repubblica Italiana" go to Rome anf take a photo of the flag over Quirinale palace, or similar istitutional place.
  • Fifth: "Flag of Italy" is more neutral term than "Flag of the Republic of Italy" that conceptually sounds like "Offical Flag of Italy" (this is so obvious, but I'm the only one that understand this concpet, I'm right? Oh sorry you don't know if I'm right or wrong, you don't use your brain for judging...)
Conclusion: Rocket000 is wrong (oh damn I say that? No, no, i don't, here right/wrong concepts don't exist in commons), actual name is not more specific than other name. It's actual name correct? No response. Commons do not require editiorial work. I can upload a photo of mine and call it "Queen Elizabeth.jpg" (cit.). Can you say I'm wrong? Really not, because, I say that my name is "Queen Elizabeth". Can you say that's false? I think you can not, because this is a mellow place (cit.), take it easy.
Obviously this image cannot be deleted (this picture is fundamental for commons). Obviously this image cannot be renamed (Reisio is the Right, Reisio is God, and he doesn't want) [Reisio, do you like to be God? I think you like a lot...].
So take it easy. This is commons, a place where all is possible, but if you hasn't the power you are a zero, and for you doing something right is impossible, because you are only a wrong-zero. All right. I don't matter. I only use my faculty to say how things are. -- ELBorgo (sms) 01:56, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, let me try again. First of all, you are aware anyone can rename images, right? No one has done it yet because the edit war wasn't about that. It was about this image being in the category, Category:Flags of Italy, and using the template {{insignia}} which says "This image shows a flag, a coat of arms, a seal or some other official insignia" (emphasis added). Renaming the file does not solve this. You guys already got it renamed from Image:Flag of Italy.svg and have a disclaimer on the image page (I'm against disclaimers, but I left this one as a hopeful compromise). And please refrain from getting personal (e.g. "Reisio, do you like to be God?", "you don't use your brain for judging", etc.). Try to stay focused on what is spoken not the speaker. Thanks. Rocket000 04:50, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And now that the image is protected, you guys took the edit-warring to the talk page[47], where editing others text is not acceptable. Rocket000 04:55, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
«you are aware anyone can rename images, right? No one has done it yet because the edit war wasn't about that» To tell the truth, I tried to rename it, but Reisio (who else), changed the name back. I am, in fact, going to propose a renaming of the image, in case this request for deletion fails.--TcfkaPanairjdde 13:44, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Eh eh eh, ELBorgo you rock!
Mhmm, I think renaming it Flag of Italy with Pantone textile colours.svg can be the solution. Resio got his flag, we got our clarification about the rendering method. --F l a n k e r 19:59, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I will gladly rename it if everyone's cool with this. My only concern is there still might be edit-warring over the things I listed above. Resio if your reading this, please comment. Rocket000 20:04, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, let's go with the third option you proposed in the first link, delete the image.--TcfkaPanairjdde 21:00, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Reisio, please do not make assumptions of what others might hypothetically do. TcfkaPanairjdde, cut the sarcasm. Please, this is not helpful. As I said before, if you are not willing to work towards an agreement in this collaborative project, there are other means of ending the disruption, but neither of you will find that outcome to be in your interest. —LX (talk, contribs) 23:39, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Giggy conjectured that renaming the image would have resolved the issue, and after Rocket000 detailed why that wasn't necessarily the case, I merely gave an exaggerated example to bring it into stark relief. ¦ Reisio 00:27, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Any chance of a compromised rename? Like Image:Italian flag PMS 20060414.svg (don't know Italian)? Think of how to resolve this rather than having the all-or-nothing mindset. I know it's hard sometimes, but please check yourself that you're not just holding out to make a point, which both sides already have made pretty clearly. Rocket000 04:05, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What's wrong with leaving it permanently protected as I originally uploaded it? — It's specific enough that it will never need editing. If you truly think there's a good reason to do otherwise, then do whatever you like… delete it or move it, just don't put my name on it if you do. ¦ Reisio 06:33, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of whether or not it should ever change, this is a wiki. We should only use page-protection when there's edit-warring, repeated vandalism, or with heavily used images. I'm generally against all indef protection, myself (at least in the gallery/image namespace). Reisio, I'm just trying help solve the issue. I know you feel you picked a perfectly ok name for the image, however, don't look at it like that. This isn't a matter of what's the "best" name as we all found out we can't agree; this is about resolving this issue - compromising. Others have a problem with your name, and you have a problem with their name. Why not meet 'em in the middle? Let's put aside who's right and who's wrong and come up with a third option together. Is that too much to ask? Rocket000 06:56, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's too much to ask. This file was already a compromise, and it's named exactly what it is. ¦ Reisio 07:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, Keep (I think you know my reasons.) -Rocket000 08:46, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I have seen arguments at three different projects. They are still discussing it at it.wp. Discussion of the image resulted in a block at en.wp from Reisio's inappropriate commentary. And I have seen the multiple talk pages that argue the correctness or incorrectness of the image. I even looked up Pantone colors and found a website that explicitly stated that the colors of the textile product would be different from those shown in the electronic medium. The official Pantone color of the middle band is named "bright white" which is coded as #F1F2F1 in hexadecimal color codings. All vector images of the Italian flag on the Commons have a white band. Reisio's is the only one that has an offwhite band. This offwhite band is the electronic equivalent of the Pantone color "Bright White" which I assume in real life is not an offwhite hue. Rocket000's examples above, Image:Flag of Italy.png, Image:Nuvola Italy flag.svg, and Image:Animated-Flag-Italy.gif are really bad analogies. The first is a png form of what has been updated at Image:Flag of Italy.svg (older revisions of the SVG image show the darker green and red bands). Image:Nuvola Italy flag.svg is drawn in a way that makes it appear the flag is waving and shadows are being cast, causing different shades. Image:Animated-Flag-Italy.gif is the same, but a gif and shows the hex white. There are arguments everywhere that this particular depiction of the Italian flag is not right. Why should the Commons host an inaccurate image?—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 10:54, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not arguing anymore, but I do feel the need to point out why I listed those of images. Not as analogies of anything. The first one was to show other variations exist. And those other variations aren't being contest somehow. It's hypocritical to say there's only one "correct" interpretation and only say there's a problem with this particular version. The icon I just threw in to show it in a different form, like how the photo was used above. The last one was a joke about compromising since it alternated between white and gray. Just wanted to clarify. Rocket000 11:10, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I understand there are variations, but they are variations on the shades of red and green. It's hard to use the "shades" of white, because most turn grey or have some sort of colored tinge to them.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:40, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So, it looks like it is a useless image, not used on any project, uncorrectly named (see the conversions from Pantone to RGB) and, most probably, uploaded to make a point. Are we going to delete it, as asked by several people, or not? --TcfkaPanairjdde 19:51, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I read all the pages (a lot of discussion pages, of course) but, to conclude, this image is, simply, wrong: Reisio is the only one who say "grey grey!". I'm Italian, and my flag is not green-grey-red! --Yoruno 17:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Consenus is that this is a poor version of the Italian flag. It fits the criteria of "Files that add nothing educationally distinct to the collection of images we already hold covering the same subject". The image is used nowhere in any of the wikisisters projects and is often a source for edit wars. Udonknome (talk) 03:00, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delete Repeated deletion requests should be strongly discouraged, particularly where nothing has changed since the last one. However, in this case, since the last DR Commons' Scope has been clarified, and we now have to consider whether - as alleged - this falls within the ambit of "Files that add nothing educationally distinct to the collection of images we already hold covering the same subject". The file is unused except for a couple of pages which discuss it. As we already have a perfectly good representation of the Italian flag, I would say that this one is indeed not educationally distinct unless anyone is able to point to some possible use for this particular image that could not be satisfied by the other. If a distinct use can be proposed I would be happy to change my mind, but at the moment I think the file should go. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 05:11, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

questionable GFDL license -Nard 03:02, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, GFDL is not correct. Many users think that doing the work of capturing a screen grab, creating the file, and uploading means they own at least part of the copyright, which is probably where a lot of this comes from. However, I think that is PD-ineligible, since it is just letters and one simple geometric shape, and {{trademarked}} [48], so Keep. Carl Lindberg 07:27, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, there are limits... there is a minimum threshold of originality required for copyright. This is a U.S. logo, and to me it does not reach the U.S. standard (or even come all that close, either). Typefaces are not copyrightable (neither general nor custom), nor are common shapes like a triangle. See {{PD-textlogo}} and {{PD-shape}}.

  • Keep Image appears to have been dedicated to the public domain (see [50], the author waived his fee for this sculpture and donated it to the city of Detroit) and it doesn't appear to have been registered for copyright before 1978. -Nard 05:08, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Agree to keep. Donated work. Also public monuments which are owned by the public are in the public domain. They are owned by the taxpayers. The interpretation of copyright laws put forward goes beyond the legislative intent. Cases involve situtations where the copyright is registered, where the creator retained ownership, and where there is an intent to make a profit without permission from the holder of the copyright. In the Arturo Di Modica case, the issue is whether an artist who retained ownership and registered the copyright of the work can assert the copyright where it involves 'substantial revenue' and it was copied with intention to make a profit without permission. Art Monthy states the public sculptures like the one discussed here may be photographed, filmed, or drawn with the knowledge of the sculptor. "Sculptures situated in public places can easily be photographed, filmed, or drawn without the knowledge of the sculptor, and such two-dimensional reproductions might equally easily be merchandised commercially.

You are incorrect, the article states "Sculptures situated in public places can easily be photographed, filmed, or drawn without the knowledge of the sculptor, and such two-dimensional reproductions might equally easily be merchandised commercially. Further, Art Monthy states, "What rights, if any, do sculptors have over their publicly sited works? A recent lawsuit by a sculptor of an outdoor artwork illustrates some key issues." See Art Monthly (11-1-2006) for an explanation of the issues. the author asks, 'what rights if any' do sculptors have? Where the copyright holder has retained the copyright permission appears to be needed. It obviously doesn't apply where the copyright holder has released the work to the public domain and not retained the copyright. In the Arturo Di Modica case, he retained the copyright. And even in that case, he asserted 'substantial loss' revenue against Wallmart. Nevertheless, the photo being discussed here would not violate any copyright laws, its photographed and published on a regular basis, its a donated work and its part of a public building.12.110.179.187 22:22, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"The artist may well succeed. Under US copyright law only works of architecture--not outdoor sculptures--that are 'ordinarily visible from a public place' can be reproduced in two dimensions without the permission of the copyright owner." Get some reading comprehension. -Nard 02:44, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The point you seemed to have missed is that he retained ownership of the copyright, he didn't sell the work or give it up and 'substantial revenue' was at issue. Of course, in this particular instance the artist probably will succeed, the artist registered his copyright in that case and owned the work. Even with those precautions his copyright was at risk of being forfeited. The US copyright law says nothing precluding outdoor sculpture in the public domain from reproductions in two diminsions, and especially where no loss of revenue is at issue. Public art is in the public domain unless the artists retain ownership of the copyright, and especially where no profit is at issue. Section 504(b) of the US copyright law requires the copyright owner to present proof of the infringers profits. This burden shifting provision was recently applied by the Fourth Circuit IN RE Phoenix Renovation v Rodriguez, (Dec. 2007) [51]. Nevertheless, the photo discussed here doesn't violate any copyright laws, its photographed regularly and its image is displayed regularly and it was a donated work. 12.110.179.187 20:50, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's no need to "register" a copyright. Furthermore, note that Henry Lydiate is a UK lawyer; he writes from a UK perspective. The full article is available at the artlaw site here. The HighBeam link above only shows the introductory paragraph. Unfortunately, photos of copyrighted sculptures are derivative works, and U.S. copyright law does not have an exemption for public art. The "no loss of revenue" argument above is shaky: unless the artist explicitly transferred his copyrights or declared the sculpture to be henceforth free of his copyrights, he still owns those copyrights and is thus entitled to royalties from e.g. postcard sales. The "burden shifting" argument is irrelevant. We're not a repository of images we can get away with hosting; we're a repository of free images. Delete Lupo 19:49, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An admin or someone who understands da (Danish?) and how the weird wiki images are displayed will need to change the name of the image where it is being used on . Then it can get the {{badname|Image:Scifi ico.jpg}} tag which is preferably applied by the original uploader -- who in this case is an upload bot. I did everything I can -- and a little extra because I had a good old fashioned United States languaged chuckle over the danish word Rumfart for what looks to be space travel. Heh.

Looks like the Flickr user photographed a big screen (note the artefacts, skewed perspective, and much sharper item in the foreground), which would make this a derivative work of the video feed, and the licensing would not be valid without the approval of the original cameraman. —LX (talk, contribs) 21:49, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This might also affect Image:Kirsten Dunst.jpg. —LX (talk, contribs) 21:51, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I know this argument has been overruled many times but it is solidly based in US copyright law. This work is not "fixed" and hence is not protected by copyright. See [62]: "On the other hand, the definition of “fixation” would exclude from the concept purely evanescent or transient reproductions such as those projected briefly on a screen, shown electronically on a television or other cathode ray tube, or captured momentarily in the “memory” of a computer. " -Nard 22:11, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So do we have any information that would suggest this video feed was not recorded? It would seem like a pretty standard thing to do if you've already bothered to get the cameras there. —LX (talk, contribs) 22:30, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your email.

Can you tell me where you plan to post the photo? We would prefer it not posted in the Wikipedia Comic-Con page.

Nope, not good enough. David needs to be made aware of the license, its conditions, that commercial uses are allowed, that he cannot restrict uses (not posted on specific pages), and that the license, once granted, is irrevocable. He evidently does not understand that a free license allows anyone to use the image for any legal purpose. We don't know where "we" will be using this image; editors might find it useful for several Wikipedia pages. And we certainly don't know what potential re-users will do with the image.

It would be possible that the photographer, who could be 30 at the day of the photo (1894) died at the avarage age of 74 in the year 1938. --Herrick 08:33, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"could be 30", "childhood". Where are the proofs? Without a source we can't know if he is 12, 14, 22 or possibly 26 in this picture. By the way without any further information it's hard too use the picture in an article anyway too. And naturally I do not now about "Schöpfungshöhe", I'm not a copyright expert, but anyway this photo is a mess for an enzyclopedia ... Julius1990 22:20, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Do you know the public known images of Modigliani himself? When you'll take a look at the difference you can clearly assume, that you can see Modigliani at his childhood. In Germany the science to improve images by symbols and data called "Ikonographie". A mess? To delete only to violate AGF is not the right policy. --Herrick 15:39, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You know what? I know the pictures of him very good, because i wrote the excellent article on the german Wikipedia. So please don't try to tell me something about Modigliani hisself. I'm not interested in this picture anyway, so i have no problem, when it will be kept. But I'm an author with experiences with Modigliani and can tell you: A good author wouldn't use this picture in any way. But as I said ... Julius1990 21:10, 4 March 2008 (UTC) PS: Whrere is this picture from? When I shoul use such a photo i would like to know who took it, where it's scanned from etc. Proof for the year?

edit

Is it required that an image must not have a border? A user complains at Village Pump that an uploader edit wars with him over adding this tag. This tag doesn't just say the image looks inferior with the border. It says the image must not have a border. Maybe the person wants the border on this image. Looking at the page it is used on[70] the border certainly does not destract from the image. I have uploaded images from the LOC with the huge ugly borders certain images from there have and nobody has demanded they be removed or even questioned them, and the images are used. -Nard 03:34, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Subject of image is USAF aircraft in flight taken by USAF personnel. The image has a source and author and there is no reason to doubt its accuracy. No working web link is required and if web links are required to be active for eternity, then this project won't have any images left. --Dual Freq 01:09, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This particular image was broken here as well. The automatic FP delisting link (to the discussion which made it a Featured Picture) did not exist and the uploader is different from the one who was credited here for having found an image which was of Featured Picture quality. The stench has permeated this image and its history.
I was looking for evidence that it really is an image that the military released to the public. I did not find any evidence. I found instead ip addresses that had the flavor of the military but did not have the logic of the military.
What reason do you think that the military did not put this gorgeous image in the archives with their other really great images?
Also, NASA has problems here and warnings that their images might not meet copyright requirements. NASA is also a government agency just like the military. Do you think that the warnings should be placed on military images also? The US military gets the bulk of the tax income from its citizens. Such money should probably at the very least, assure lasting internet addresses. Even if the base itself disappears (which is historically bureaucratically difficult) the internet address should remain to explain that the base has closed.
The credibility of a disappearing internet address is what I challenge when I challenge the copyright status of these images. I tend to think that it wasn't a military establishment at all. -- carol 01:54, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please cite the policy that requires a working web link for all uploaded images. The uploader has provided a sufficient source and caption. If they had scanned the back cover of Torch the magazine and said, "scan of the back of the magazine" for source it also would have been acceptable. This is pretty clearly a USAF image and you have not provided an alternate copyright holder Who else is up next to an F-15 in a vertical climb taking pictures? Staff Sergent Jeffery Allen (the stated author of this image) is up there, apparently he has won a number of awards for the many USAF images he has taken. The Air Force even made a poster out of his image. The Torch even has an article about one of their photo journalists that takes these photos. --Dual Freq 02:22, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have no evidence that anyone checked to see if the image was actually public domain when it was uploaded -- that is the reason I looked around for the original. Not a policy but there was a failure in the ability to prove that it was public domain yesterday and perhaps tomorrow as well.
That url timed out yesterday. Posters but no internet juice? Or did someone pull the plug on the military internet? Heck, the internet connection to the community college in 1982/1983 (I don't even think they called it the internet yet then) was more stable than the 2007 United States military internet? Where is that base located, btw? And is the United States military structure crumbling as much as their internet domains? -- carol 02:51, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A deletion request because the original website changed? Not using it as an FP I could see maybe, but deletion? In this case, the odds of a non-military photograph of an F-15 in flight from that close are pretty darn small. I can't fathom of a good reason to delete it. Anyways, in searching, apparently this was the back cover of the March/April 2004 issue of Torch. The archived page is here, which gives the author, but the original image URL http://www.aetc.randolph.af.mil/se2/torch/back/2004/0403-04/images/Cov4EN.jpg was apparently not archived by the wayback machine (or is not available yet). It was mentioned again in the next issue in the Torch Talk section, which was apparently the immediate source of this image with the URL as given above. The image URL[71] was different (named F15EN.jpg) but again not archived. But, you can see it on this Torch posters page. The link to the hi-res poster image is given above, which is actually higher resolution than our copy (but more cropped). It has a Torch logo in the bottom right. Is there any real reason to doubt the source, author, or license? Carl Lindberg 03:02, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Artwork. I suspect pasted together. Should I paste together an awesome image like that? You got your classic light saber from Star Wars, exhaust trails are easy to find and medium easy to create, and rotating a parked aircraft -- they have a bot that does that kind of thing here and it can be abused.
Now, there is a claim of a magazine. Weird it wasn't mentioned before this and also weird that the scan would be so crisp and so small compared to other magazine scans I have seen of images from the military whose internet addresses were capable of resolving yesterday. -- carol 03:56, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Given a pretty obvious Air Force photo, and a link to an air force site (which the Wayback Machine clearly shows existed as described), and (presumably) a user with no history of such manipulations, assuming good faith (and Occam's razor) would have seemed to be in order. The claim of a magazine was in the description of the original upload, and it was still there when it was tagged for deletion. This looks to be an online magazine, and they had the original photo for download; it is not a scan. The web archive says it was a photo of an F-15, with an author named, which also matches up with the description. You can see some reflection of the flares on the body of the plane itself. If it helps any, there is a similar photo in the gallery here showing an F-15 flying up and releasing flares (direct image URL [72]). In any event, since this same photo shows up in a poster you can still get from the Torch magazine site, that rules out any photo manipulation anyways.

Yeah, in all honesty, after searching for the new url for these images, I thought it was time for someone more familiar with the territory to search some and that has occurred. I did this with several of the noaa photolib images that had been uploaded here (those urls have changed also, but the images are still online).
I had an interesting conversation with some insights about the problem with the disappearing military urls for these images. One was about a base name. My question: "Would you allow the name 'Seymour Johnson Air Force Base' if you sould do anything about it. The answer was no. The other question that I asked was about the game Americas Army -- not a question persay, the response was "did you know that the Army released that game?" So, if all of these deletion requests are like mashed potatoes, the conversation I had about the situation might be the missing salt and pepper towards understanding my problems with the images. And in case anyone cares:

Or it was uploaded to discriminate against someone. --Polarlys 10:42, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't suppose so... The face of the man is almost hide and the man is rather difficult to recognize if you don't know him personally. The problem is quite similar to the discussion about this photo and I can only repeat the words that User:Buster Baxter wrote there: "he wouldn't go topless (..) if he was ashamed of that! (...) he's is obviously aware of the picture being taken". Regards :) Elektron 11:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There’s a difference between posing for a friend or a family member and an upload to flickr or Wikipedia and a prominent article with your face as an illustration. --Polarlys 14:18, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Some more words about "your face"... I can see only a half of the man's face. I can say that it would be a big problem to me to recognise this man in a crowd (of corse if there would be more large bold men with glasses, not only one).
The author of the photo comes from Sicilia, Italy - see here. The photo comes from Mexico. I suppose that he was taken on the author's trip to this country. The large man from the photo is maybe a man the author met on his trip and they stayed friends. On my opinion the man is awere what he is doing and he is proud of this. If the author published it on Flickr she is aware what she is dooing, too. She knows it better than I or you because it was she who met this proud man. I played some times with taking photos and I like this photo very much. It is very good taken and shows dignity of this man. I can't see any attempt to mock at this man. I suppose that your real problem is that this man is a bit fat. But people are different: some are thin, some are large, some are little, some are fat. I don't suppose that youre have any objection to this photo if the man wasn't so big... Don't you exaggerate with a political correctness? If we show only photos with average people we will falsify the real world. Regards :) Elektron 07:31, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The 2006 Olympics website USES THIS PHOTO, which means they have accepted the GFDL license for it. This means the copyright holder has released the building under the GFDL because the license obligates them to pass the same license to re-users down the line. -Nard 03:05, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Per request. I can't follow N's logic at all. What is this "2006 Olympic website" and why would using this image lead to what N says? Samulili 08:16, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • See http://www.torino2006.org/ITA/OlympicGames/news/news_ita160136.html linked to from the image description page. This is the rink for the 2006 Torino skating competition. Their website uses the image. At first they credited it to "Getty Images" which you can see if you click on the French version of the page because that version was not updated. After the it.wiki user, Fotogian complained, they properly credited him. This means they are aware of who produced the image and the licensing for it. Accepting the GFDL license requires them to accept the sharealike condition for the image. In fact, they are legally bound to do so. Which means the image is legal to host on Commons. Simple. (See also http://www.torino2006.org/ENG/OlympicGames/home/credits.html at the bottom.) -Nard 08:26, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • "This means they are aware of who produced the image and the licensing for it." What is the licensing for it? It is not impossible for a user to give less restrictive/different licenses upon request. Did Fotogian require GFDL from Torino 2006? And even if he did, that would only mean that the work of Fotogian is licensed under GFDL, while the work of the architect may not be. (Meaning, in essence, that you could freely use the image as "fair use" for depicting the building.) Samulili 09:34, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • To interpret this way guts the sharealike requirement. Why are they not bound by the GFDL license and the sharealike requirement? -Nard 00:43, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
          • I still can't follow. So the SA requirement would apply to the contents of the website. So what? Giovanni's argument is that the picture is a derivative work. How does your own argument relate to that? Jastrow (Λέγετε) 08:40, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
            • The copyright holder accepts the image and sharealike license, which includes the obligation to make the file available to re-users under the same license. Ergo, it cannot be a derivative work if the copyright holder is obligated to offer the image under the GFDL.
              • The penny just dropped. I understand now what you mean, but you presume too much from the use of one picture. As Samulili points it out, we don't know if the picture us used under the GFDL on this website, do we? They certainly don't follow the GFDL's terms; it seems they just added "Oval © Fotogian". Jastrow (Λέγετε) 07:35, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
                  • Someone should probably ask Fotogian if they downloaded the original image from the Italian Wiki, which I believe seems most likely. If they did, then they accepted the license upon download. In fact, I will ask him. -Nard 19:50, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per nom (derivative, no FOP in Italy). As Samulili, I still can't follow N's logic. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 19:32, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am the author of this photo. Getty sold it to Olympic website. I ask them to recognize I a the author and they did it. I said them they could use my photo without any problem regarding any kind of right, but they had to write I was the author. They did it. So there is no problem for me caused by the fact they used my photo.

Some days later Getty recognized the photo was mine

I'm having second doubts, now. Gunter S. Kargl seems to be a professional photographer, http://www.pressephoto.at/ and seems like a person who would rather use their name instead of "UnixLenau" as a username. Furthermore, the date given by UnixLenau does not match that of the EXIF data. Samulili 07:49, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Now I see the problem: I checked with the webmaster of the I.S.T. Austria website. Picture was made by Kargl but is free to be used in context of I.S.T. Austria. I suggested to state so in the file information. Apart from that, I obviously did not use the correct copyright tag. Which one do you suggest? User:UnixLenau
If the image is just free to be used in context of I.S.T. Austria, but not in other contexts, then it is not "sufficiently free" for wikipedia or commons and needs to be deleted. I would suggest that you try to get Günter S. Kargl to agree to the text on de:Wikipedia:Textvorlagen#Freigaben von Texten und Bildern.

Keep At worst it sounds like a misunderstanding, not a reason for deletion. I expect releasing the original under PD usually means you can do what you like with it (no doubt varies with country), but is it a viral license? Are derivatives automatically PD also, or can one not release derivatives with whatever license one wants? An acknowledgement of the source image would of course be appropriate. --Tony Wills 11:48, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If the name conflict is the problem then add {{rename}} to this one? --Tony Wills 12:35, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I still find it very unlikely that somebody would like to use picture about status of one particular Finnish Wikiproject at certain date. Furthermore, the user, who has created the file, has a long history of misplaced files in Commons. Name conflict as such really does not matter as local name space is checked first and Commons only after that, but most probably there is now chance for confusion (e.g. CheckUsage cannot recognize, which one is really targeted). And yes, derivates do not give you copyright over image unless you have added some intellectual work on it. Obviously clicking twice with fill-tool does not fulfill that requirement. --Care 22:43, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately PD-PRL requires first publication in Poland or simultaneous publication. I don't see any reason to believe this image was first published in Poland. Morven 13:22, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It seems very unlikely to me that this image was first published in Poland. Why should it have been published in the Warsaw block? --ALE! ¿…? 13:44, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If you're sure about place and source of first publication, please delete. But since only source is Młody Technik I can't see any reason. --91.94.129.250 06:29, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There seems to be no doubt that the image has been published by Młody Technik in 1974. On the other hand, statements like
  • Looks like a SNCF publicity shot
  • It seems very unlikely to me that this image was first published in Poland.
  • Why should it have been published in the Warsaw block?
are completely speculative. In fact, it looks like any black and white shot of this epoch. There is no well-founded reason to suppose that it was stolen from another publication or publicity. Further, it's not plausible that a Polish magazine, during the Gierek era, should not have been able to produce such a picture. Warsow block may have been a prison, but not as dark as that (especially Poland).--85.0.123.118 13:35, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hosted by a U.S. Government website, but nothing indicates that is a work by the federal government. Kjetil r 06:34, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The US Embassy in Cameroon routinely photographs embassy events for publicity purposes. They aren't good bookkeepers, and they don't record the photographer's name, but the photos are by embassy employees going about their daily duties. I have met the previous ambassador (R. Niels Marquardt) and attended embassy events while I served in Cameroon as a Peace Corps Volunteer, and I know this is to be a fact. The original of the image up for deletion features the American ambassador as well and is an obvious PR piece by the US government. I don't see what we have to gain by deleting this image. Amcaja 23:48, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Just so everyone has the full picture: The image comes from this story on the Cameroon embassy's website: http://yaounde.usembassy.gov/text_lobeke_park_visit.html and is here in thumbnail form: http://yaounde.usembassy.gov/ambassador_visits_lobeke_park.html . Amcaja 23:59, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • COM:LICENSING#Works_by_the_US_Government is clear: “Images on government or government agency websites are not necessarily public domain“ and “This also does not include works commissioned by the US Government, but produced by contractors”. I am going to delete this photo unless we got a source saying that it is a work by a federal employee. I suggest that you write to the embassy and ask. --Kjetil r 09:16, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • So you will ignore consensus and just delete as a lone wolf? Is that how Wiki is supposed to work? I can write them, but they have no email address listed, and mail to and from Cameroon takes several weeks. In the meantime, I fail to see who is harmed by showing the world what a Baka dance looks like. Amcaja 00:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • Policy is more important than consensus. For example, If consensus was that we should keep some images by Andy Warhol (obviously against policy), I would still delete them.
        • The site is managed by the Department of State, perhaps you could email them directly? --Kjetil r 08:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
          • No, consensus must always trump policy. That's why we have forums such as this one. Blind adherence to policy helps no one and hurts the Foundation's mission to spread knowledge.
          • That said, I've contacted the Peace Corps director in Cameroon to see if you can get me a contact email for someone at the embassy. He's forwarded along my request, so hopefully we'll have some more information soon. Incidentally, he supports my contention that the images are PD, but I can understand wanting to hear from the embassy directly. Amcaja 02:07, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK, I now have email confirmation from the embassy that the photo (and all photos from their site) are in the public domain. How should I handle this? Should I copy and paste the email into the image description page? Amcaja 12:39, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent. Forward the email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org; I or some other OTRS volunteer will then fix the rest. Thank you for your effort. --Kjetil r 15:57, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Insufficient source information. This was uploaded by a user who was banned for repeated uploads of copyrighted images passed off as GFDL (in fact, this is the only upload by the user that still remains on Commons). The photograph is pretty, but there's nothing to suggest that the user actually took this photograph other than the claim "taken by me".

Image:Christian cross.svg is {{PD-ineligible}} (No one will delete it :)). This image is a logo of Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria (that means it's copyrighted, unless promise), It can't be {{PD-ineligible}} for example..--OsamaK 16:03, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Then it should be {{PD-old}}, "it can't be self-licensing"--OsamaK 16:46, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's a modern rendition of an ancient symbol, the same way this is a modern rendition of a 200+ year old "logo" of an organization. The fact that it looks a little complicated doesn't mean that someone couldn't've made it themselves and released their copyright on it. I suspect it is PD-ineligible and that the author just wanted to make sure it wasn't deleted by applying a "stronger" PD template (PD-self). If a Copt could verify the ancientness of this symbol, we could easily close this without any further trouble. 68.39.174.238 21:59, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, changed to {{PD-old}}, Admins can close this requests.--OsamaK 15:23, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dude maybe it's time to examine whether your contributions are really helping Wikimedia Commons. If someone creates a graphic, and holds legitimate copyright over that graphic, then there's nothing necessarily preventing him from donating it as a logo to an organization, and also donating it to Commons as a free graphic. I don't know how to explain it any clearer than that. Unless and until you demonstrate that there's a prima facie problem, it doesn't look like you'll get much support for deleting this image... AnonMoos 23:39, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I think Mr. Osama's intentions are obvious, in view of the information on his Wikipage (Muslim from Saudi Arabia who posts graphics calling for the hatred of Israel). I suggest you start focusing on contributing positively to Wikipedia/Wikimedia, Mr Osama, instead of going around harassing other religions and cultures. The Coptic Cross in question is a modern representation of an old symbol and there is no reason no add an old template to it. --Lanternix 23:56, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia screenshot of an article about a young actor, a worrying trend if we have to keep these on here. For the article, just visit wiki. -- Deadstar (msg) 16:57, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I see. User:Diegogrez was banned from en: wiki... I presume article was deleted as "non-notable". There are a few uploads by this user here too (presumably of himself?). Would User:Bodoque57 (who uploaded the screenshot & created Diego Grez gallery page) be related? I can't find any info on "Diego Grez" online to verify -- Deadstar (msg) 17:07, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I came to this page looking for evidence of sockpuppet abuse (sockpuppet on the English-language Wikipedia). User:Diegogrez is likely the same person as User:Bodoque57, here and on other wikis. Jespinos 03:07, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

El Tarantiniese (the uploader), which who is the same person as ertarantiniano/Tancredi on Flickr (the uploader on Flickr) wrote me (on it.wp) saying that he is not the author of the photo but that he found it free somewhere (No, per farla non l'ho fatta io, però l'avevo trovata libera.). It is not copyvio only if it was PD. He told me that he is looking for the license he used to upload it on Flickr ans asked me to wait some days (Dammi qualche giorno che ti trovo la licenza con cui l'ho caricata su Flickr e ti dico come proceder).

Well I am the creator of the drawing. I am the webmaster of the website too. And if you were to visit Wikipedia (My user page that is) You'll find that my real name is Stefan. Here's a link to my user page in Wikipedia. Read the profile. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Someformofhuman And if you vist the link my website to the link http://sky-scrapers.org/Drg-Taipei_101Preview=large.htm, you'll find a clear copyright notice with my own real name on it.
Additionally, I am also an illustrator in SkyscraperPage.com... The same resized version of the drawing has also been used in the diagrams section with the same username (Someformofhuman) on it: http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?1241105 So in my defence, it clearly states that I own all rights to the drawing.
Have you tried contacting the webmaster of the site about this issue? If you do, don't be surpised you're actually meeeting the very same person who wrote all this. :)

It's the cover of a book. Without proof of otherwise, I assume it has copyright and that it's still active, but other users believe that PD-Ineligible should apply Thialfi 16:12, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, PD-Ineligible. --Kjetil r 17:44, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • First of all, this was published in France by a French publisher, so the cover art is most likely also French - we should apply French law, then. I see two possible cases:
(1) PD-old. Commons:Licensing#France is quite interesting to read. It says that anonymous, pseudonymous or collective works (to which book covers often belong) are protected until 70 years after publishing, which would be 2004. Copyright extensions were granted due to the world wars, so that would make it either 2010 or 2019. I don't know in how far these extensions apply to anonymous works. However, if I read the corresponding article in French Wikipedia correctly, then the normal copyright duration was 50 years p.m.a. (they don't mention anonymous works), and it was only prolonged to 70 years in 1995. This 20 year extension "absorbed" the war extensions, in all cases where these were less than 20 years (all cases where the author did not die for France). This means that the work went PD in about 1993, maybe was protected again from 1995 to 2004. In any case, if I understood this correctly and the French Wikipedia is right, it is PD-old now.
(2) PD-ineligible. According to this, the threshold of originality lies in "the work carrying the mark of the author's personality" (elle porte la marque de sa personnalité). This is a rather low standard, and so the book cover might well not be pd-ineligible.
In light of this, I say Keep as pd-old. --rimshottalk 17:53, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the comment of the uploader of flickr say : "Great seats for this game! Check out the note to see where I am sitting!

Claimed to be a work of the U.S. government. The LoC doesn't know about this.[83] Lupo 13:47, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

it says published between 1920 and 1937, so there are several possibilities for it being PD. Published before 1923, published between 1923-1963 and copyright was not renewed, or anonymous PD since 1937 with no author mentioned makes it 70 years old at most Madmax32 20:32, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. But (a) not a US-Gov work, and (b) no proof of non-renewal. In fact, we don't even know the photographer. Might just as well be an unpublished portrait photograph, in which case it's either 70 years p.m.a. (if author known) or 120 years since creation (if unknown, or author's death year unknown). Pointing out possibilities without providing evidence won't get us nowhere. We need evidence. Besides, where did you get "anonymous PD since 1937 with no author mentioned makes it 70 years old at most" from? I don't see that in 17 USC. Lupo 07:26, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
(a)quite possibly true and (b) no proof but likely since most copyrights were not renewed, I am not familiar with that 120 year since creation rule, but it's obviously been published since the LoC obtained it and doesn't list a private donor. I was thinking of the Anonymous-EU template but maybe that doesn't apply here since this is probably a US photo, but that would make it PD in most of the world (LoC says published 1920 and 1937) so more than 70 years. Besides to me it looks like this photo was taken the same time as this underwood and underwood photo [84] because she is wearing the same clothes and appears to be the same age, but not conclusive proof obviously. The underwood & underwood photo is PD because that photo agency went out of business in the 1940s and none of their copyrights were renewed.[85] I guess the only way to prove copyright for this image is if the LoC updates their information, but that seems unlikely. Madmax32 10:50, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, that's a pretty good observation. Indeed she is wearing the same clothes as in the Underwood & Underwood photo. I think I could agree to treating it as {{PD-US-not renewed}} under these circumstances. The only minor problem is that we don't know whether this image was received by the LoC through copyright deposit (known PD due to non-renewal in that case) or as a "stock surplus" gift (unclear copyright status in that case, the company restricted use of the gift images to non-commercial uses, but the LoC says that "searches have not turned up any existing copyrights for Underwood & Underwood images"). Lupo 07:04, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I say keep. Put it this way. it was taken before 1937, perhaps long before because Earhart went missing in 1937, so an photo of her could not have been taken after 1937. DragonFire1024 22:51, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep

Do not delete the photograph of the letter. It is something that was written by a very famous man of high authority (though not necessarily a *good* leader) as a child. Please leave it up. Thank you, Rithschap

As per Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Castro to Roosevelt,.jpg: at best, the tag is highly misleading (Castro's letter is not the work of the US Federal Government, even if the reproduction was made by the Government), but even in this case, it would still requires someone to show that Castro does not have a copyright on the letter. See also Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2007Dec#Image:FCR_to_FDR_letter_complete.jpg for the beginning of a discussion. Schutz 14:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The tag requires the publication to have occured between 1923 and 1977; do we have any indication that it is the case ? Note also the reply to your comment that was made during the discussion linked above — just sending the letter to another individual is not a publication. Schutz 10:55, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The letter is dated November 6, 1940. Second line in Fidel's handwriting. 202.7.183.130 09:29, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Which is the date of writing, not the date of publication. Schutz 17:41, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, KEEP- letter was written to the US, and therefore has been subjugated to the realm of public domain, and is kept at the National Archives, a public agency of the government.—the preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.128.120.92 (talk • contribs) 14:19, 19 February 2008

As far as I know, this does not make any difference from the copyright point of view. Schutz 17:41, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is property of the US government.—the preceding unsigned comment was added by 150.148.0.27 (talk • contribs) 15:55, 19 February 2008

Same reply — irrelevant from the copyright point of view. Schutz 17:41, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The recipient of a letter has a right to distribute the contents of a letter at will. Since the recipient was FDR, the letter belongs to the US government. And since it belong to the US government, it is public domain. --RedShiftPA 21:42, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And could you provide us with a few reference on copyright law to back your claims ? Thanks ! Schutz 23:07, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I have to strongely agree with RedShiftPA. He said it best. 69.250.167.239 22:11, 19 February 2008 (UTC) Keep 71.76.205.168 14:15, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See above; I'd be really happy to be proven wrong (so that the image can stay here), but this is not a vote, and just saying "keep" is not enough to provide us permission to post the image. Schutz 23:07, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP -- I do believe that all letters written to the Office of the President of the United States do become the property of the Federal Government, as to all gifts to the Office of the President. QUESTION: Anyone know if this has been reviewed or commented on by the U.S. Government , and did anyone ever send him the 10$>? --Steve

Yes, the letter is without doubt the property of the Federal Government, there is no question about this. But this is not the problem at hand — we are talking about the copyright of the text, an immaterial right. Schutz 11:49, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The letter is real. Don't delete it. I heard about it on a TV show.
  • Keep It represents history. Means to be free to everyone
  • Keep The discussion of whether Fidel has or no copyright overt the content of the letter is irrelevant, posting this is Fair Use, additionally it is obvious that sending a letter to the President or Santa does not constitute a secret 'thus the material and it's contents may be revealed. http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html
  •  Comment Surely the relevant question is whether the text (and hence the image) is copyrightable. If it is deemed copyrightable then Castro owns the copyright and Cuban copyright law becomes the only relevant fact since we on Commons require the content to be free in the US and the source country. But yes if it is deleted it can be copied to en.wiki as fair use. /Lokal_Profil 03:22, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I personaly think that everyone is indeed missing the point, since most of the comments avoid the points you are mentioning. Hopefully some people will come to discuss the copyright status of this image instead of its historical significance... Schutz 16:59, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Surely Castro did not intend to reserve copyrights. This is not some academic discourse written in the form of a letter. When you write someone a postcard, especially the U.S. government, you are basically consigning possession of it to them, regardless of your legal rights. This letter is already in the public domain literally if not legally. There is no evidence that Castro would object to this reproduction, and unless he does, deletion would be a moot misapplication of the law. MagnesianPhoenix 13:26, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment All right here is a paper on Cuban copyright law: http://www.cnap.cult.cu/instituciones/adaviswebsite/html/ley14_derecho_autor.pdf Article 37 section b declares that it is licit to reproduce the whole thing if is justified for knowledge in pretty much all media, without remuneration or consent of the author, so the Commons criteria is met after all.
  •  Comment Cuban copyright law does not apply to the United States . It has no copyright notice and entered the country prior to 1923 . --Frank.trampe 08:05, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Commons:Licensing, 7 lines down, also mention in the discussions above. /Lokal_Profil 19:39, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • I didn't see that , but I think that we could argue that , because the letter was submitted in the United States , its copyright lies here . Not only is there no record of copyright in Cuba , there was no copy of the letter in Cuba after Castro mailed it until the United States government released copies of it that could get back to Cuba . Just as a travelling journalist files and receives copyright for a story in the country of publication , a letter in American custody by the original intent of its author ought to be considered free from Cuban copyright law in its American distribution . Either way , I don't think that Cuba's attempts to suppress freedom of expression ought to bind what ought to be an open forum . If Richard Nixon can't claim that the Watergate investigators violated his copyrights by copying and playing his tapes , I don't think that Castro ought to be able to suppress this letter . --Frank.trampe 06:08, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why we need to discuss such an image instead of speedydeleting it. However, her is what I have to say about it:

  1. The image is of low quality. It is 120 × 121 pixel (not counting the borders) and uses no anti-aliasing at all. A vector version is available.
  2. There is a factual error in the image: It has a transparent background. Additive color mixing as shown in the image is done by adding light on a black background (for example, rgb(0%, 0%, 0%) + rgb(100%, 0%, 0%) + rgb(0%, 100%, 0%) = rgb(100%, 100%, 0%)). It's not possible to add something to a white background because white is already the maximum (rgb(100%, 100%, 100%)).
  3. It's only used in an old discussion page and in the image galleries of the author. --TM 11:41, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is located in a stairway leading down to the Hall of Fame. Here is talk on the English Wikipedia about this topic. Here is the original photograph before cropping.

It's a picture without any quality and there are enough better pictures of magnesite in the category. -- Ra'ike Diskussion 16:47, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

--Dyet 17:18, 10 January 2008 (UTC) I think the picture should stay. You are correct in stating it is a lower quality. However, the picture does show several characteristics that should be noted; 1) you can see the texture 2)it is a good example for the location 2)it does show some fracture characteristics that I don't see in other photos. 3)the photo is masked and makes it useful for quick insertions into reports. ie no editing required.[reply]

Images by User:Doncsecz

User:Doncsecz has requested all his uploads, his userpage and his talkpage for deletion stating that he wants to leave. There are no reasons for deletion given on any of the images besides one (see below). I'm bundling them into one request for ease.

With the help of User:Rimshot, I asked User:Szajci to leave a message in Hungarian for this user. He then left the below message on my talkpage, and has taken the deletion requests down on all images as well as on user's talk/userpage (although I don't see a message on the userpage, this might have gone through email):
Doncsecz sagte, dass er nicht zu commons verstehe. Ich sagte ihm, dass ich ihm helfe. Keine Problem. Danke, dass message. Tschüss! User:Szajci 08:56, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly not a two-dimensional work of art, as stated in the image license 217.26.87.7 16:58, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, which license would be appropriate? I remember when I uploaded this image I was looking for a license option that would better fit the case, but I didn't find one. Please note that this is a new version of a file that was already uploaded by someone else, and as far as I can see the old version had the same kind of license. - Till 17:04, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well the appropriate license would be whatever the photographer released it as. Rocket000 23:47, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That photographer is Till. I explained the situation to him and asked him to set an appropriate license. --h-stt !? 19:38, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And I, the photographer, explained that at the time of uploading it was not clear to me which type of license would be appropriate for this kind of work of art—and it still isn't. It wasn't obvious to me that the template that was used by me, i.e. "PD-Art", translates to something like "... two-dimensional work of art", so will somebody please point out to me a license template that gets this image out of the Commons:Deletion requests, because it really doesn't deserve to be here just because of the word "two" instead of "three". Thanks. - Till 20:39, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I didn't see H-stt's hint on my WP discussion page - thanks. I changed the license and granted GFDL as well as CC-BY-SA-2.5. I hope that this issue is resolved now. - Till 21:05, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Plaquebox

edit

This page and the transcluded template seem to actually encourage vandalism. At first, I thought it meant test edits like a sandbox, but no, it says "You can place copyrighted, offensive or libelous content in the plaquebox as this location is for vandalism." I don't think that's a very good thing to suggest. The page hasn't been used since it's creation and nothing links to it. Related pages: Commons:Dirtbox and Template:Dirtbox should probably be deleted too. I don't see why we need more than Commons:Sandbox. -Rocket000 03:29, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, either Delete or redirect to Sandbox, I think. en-wiki has no plaquebox, but does have dirtbox as a redirect to Sandbox. There are a bunch of redirects to the above pages too. User:VolkswagenKing28, who created these, has some pretty odd edits interspersed among useful ones... including Image:Commons-logo-new.PNG and Specials. I'm not sure what to make of them. Plaquebox and Dirtbox were created within a couple days of each other. Carl Lindberg 06:35, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, thanks for pointing those out. I deleted the Specials redirect, as it made no sense. The image is clearly out of our scope, so I (or someone) will be deleting that too, but I'm curious to hear what VolkswagenKing28 has to say about these edits. Rocket000 21:52, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

three dimensional object, copyright has not expired Polarlys 18:50, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep This is about as non-artistic a shot as you can imagine. It is a mechanical reproduction. And the "third dimension" is a bit of scroll rolling at the ends, in short not creatively picked. Does not even begin to pass the threshold of originality. -Nard 21:32, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
“Mechanical reproduction” in the sense of “individual holding camera, adjusting lights to reduce shadows, choosing aperture and other parameters, pulling the object out of its context”? With this argumentantion we can call any related photography “non-artistic”. --Polarlys 22:59, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry but sweat of the brow in exact duplications of PD works has been ruled out as a reason to claim copyright on an image in the U.S., even if the person worked for two days on it http://www.studentweb.law.ttu.edu/cochran/cochran/Cases%20&%20Readings/Copyright-UNT/Copy'ability/batlin.htm and this case did involve 3D objects. -Nard 04:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is no “exact duplication” since “exact duplication” does not imply the possibility of various perspective with different results. And US case-law doesn’t matter here. --Polarlys 11:43, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Legally it matters. This isn't an faithful reproduction. (It's 3D, how can a photo be a copy?) And N, if you want to argue based on works passing the "threshold of originality", let's talk about "neighboring rights" or photographer's rights where they get copyright-like status for merely making a faithful reproduction of a 2D work. I don't mean things like lighting, shadows, and perspective, where you can tell one copy from another, I mean as close to the original as you can get. Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me either, but Commons respects these weird laws. Rocket000 00:13, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I restored the request since „Giggy“ closed it with „kept“ without any comment on the discussed matter. Provide arguments, this is no autocracy. --Polarlys 23:29, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result is delete as PD works can be copyrighted if they are not faithful reproductions. For example, a image of Mona Lisa hanging from the Louvre is copyright by its photographer (unless otherwise specified) but a scan of the image is not.

Images from Italian Navy website

edit

I believe that images from Italian Navy official website (http://www.marina.difesa.it) are not PD (see Commons:Deletion requests/Template:PD-ITGov-Military-Navy, debate is closed) neither free provided that the copyright holder is properly attributed ({{Attribution}}). They are copyrighted works only allowed for non commercial purpose (on it.wiki there is a permission about that, see (Wikipedia:Autorizzazioni ottenute/MarinaMilitare). This correspondence is ambiguos and clash with this: via OTRS we have request a clarification, but an answer still has not arrived. Trixt 02:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Inappropriate Licensing:

These images (Source[91]) use {{pd-japan}} and {{PD-ineligible}}, but Chiba prefecture's web site[92] says: "Every documents and images are owned by Chiba prefecture, and reuse without permission are prohibited.". Additionally, Masayoshi Nakajo[93], the logo designer is still alive now, so these licence tags can not be applicable. I think these licensing is not suitable. --おむこさん志望 06:14, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While this image does come from a US Government website[94], it is authored and copyrighted by St. Mary's College of California, not the government agency. The usage statement for this image requires notification before use, and also bars commercial use, which is too restrictive to host on Commons. Carl Lindberg 23:34, 11 January 2008 (UTC) Carl Lindberg 23:34, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To be very honest here, I felt uncomfortable uploading the image in the first place. That copyright watermark is where I hesitate. It is the first and only image I have uploaded here with such a watermark. I will not remove them either (although I am capable of this). My preference would be for the uploading of watermarked images to be disallowed here.
When I did upload it, my idea was to replace it with an image from this years crop when it is available and after that send it through this very same deletion process. I am not going to vote for its removal (yet) but I also will not vote for it to be kept.
Given the opportunity, I would vote to disallow the uploading of images with copyright watermarks at all, regardless of the license.
Another question. Is St. Mary like 'my psychic friends' where perhaps you should just be able to send a prayer (or strong thought out) and have faith that permission was given? I am not Catholic, so I am uncertain how contacting the groups there should work. -- carol 02:00, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, when you see a watermark, that usually requires more investigation to make sure the license is OK :-) We allow the uploads if the license is OK, mainly because we can then remove them or crop them out (attribution is done via the image page description). We most definitely do not want to leave watermarks on images; tag it with {{watermark}} if it cannot be removed prior to upload and hopefully someone else can fix it. If the license prevents removal of the watermark, it is then not free enough for Commons. There is/was a proposal at Commons:Watermarks but I don't think it progressed beyond the basics.
In looking further, the usage rights statement seems to be the standard USDA statement for any third-party image, so the copyright owner may very well allow it to be licensed more liberally if asked. The usage page has a contact email address. Carl Lindberg 03:20, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How about those prayer beads? Do churches support all the past technologies they have advocated as well as all of those rules? I would rather do that than use the phone or email. -- carol 03:24, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(this was fraudulently claimed as self-created work, and has had it's usage undone. As the creator of the original image, I've marked the proper source, but that makes this poorly modified image unused, I feel it can be deleted.) --74.13.46.211 23:03, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(My goal is to delete the part of Opera web-browser from the picture, which is an encouragement to non-free software. Showing non-free software to present OpenBSD project is a non-sense for me. I do an error in giving my name but if you are agree I want to change the name of the creator. If you can excuse me.) Sylvain Decremps (no fix ip) 13:37 12 January 2008 (UTC)
OpenBSD developers and users don't have anything against Opera, in fact, if you intent to use flash on OpenBSD, Opera is the only way to do it. The biggest flaw in your action is that it is not a screenshot, it is an obvious edit of an image, which is hardly a trustworthy reference. While I can understand your perspective, I don't share it, and I'd been the one that took that screenshot, running on my OpenBSD 3.9 desktop. Most OpenBSD users believe in the right tool for the job, which when forced to deal with flash, is Opera, as gash is not a functional alternative. You are able to do as you wish with public domain images, but when you're putting a modified version of a file on the same site you got the original, it's rather obvious, so claiming it as your own made it look worse than it would had you just made that statement and pointed at the original to begin with. 74.13.46.211 18:33, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I realize that my theft of your picture is nerving you, I know that all wishes are subjective. But I just thought that after "the discussion" about non-free software (with RMS), it was interesting to show that OpenBSD is a project which don't encourage non-free software. I know that Opera could help with flash, and gnash is not really efficient. But it was just about the "first look" about this project. So, I apologize about what I have done. Sylvain Decremps 21:15 12 January 2008 (UTC)

I do not believe that User:JarlaxleArtemis is the copyright holder of this image. The photograph is of low resolution (300×360), yet appears professional. While that's not decisive, images of this nature are often taken from random websites. More importantly, this user has a history of uploading problematic images. He has been banned from the English Wikipedia for vandalism and copyright violations. The image doesn't have any specific source or any real information at all, just a boilerplate template. Unless Jarlaxle is willing to clarify to the satisfaction of the community, I think this photo should be deleted. --Crotalus horridus 11:17, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Possibly the rights to this photo belong with the photographer per the nomination, but I think it possible that the permission might be correct. Zinn may have taken the photo himself with a timer, or set up the shot with his own camera and asked a relative to press the button, etc. If license permission is unclear, perhaps someone can contact and ask?

derivative work and verry bad quality for me __ ABF __ ϑ 20:21, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It's clearly marked as with trademark and getting in that close was the only way I could get in enough details. No one objected to the GFDL tagging all the time it was on enwiki. If it's derivative then we ought to delete the entire coke bottle category, many of the images in which have the Coke logo shown at about the same size. It's slightly shaken, but the words are still legible, therefore it's sufficiently encylopedic. Daniel Case 20:27, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nevertheless, the copyrighted elements of this image are minimal ... the words "Vanilla" and "Zero", assuming Coke actually went and got them copyrighted as well as trademarked, and that's about it.

Absurd license claims -Nard 05:54, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As I stated in the other image for deletion request related to this one, there is no absurd license claim here. Here's the two links documenting the granted permission given for these pictures and any pictures they took that day while there.[96][97] Since you joined that board, those links should work for you. If not, just go to the bottom of the site where it says Event recaps, select that, and then while inside, select the thread titled Lyss & Char @ AMC Studios. Pages 2 (at the very bottom) and 3 (at the top, since there isn't nuch conversation on Page 3 of that topic) will display the permission given to freely use the images they took that day, permission given to use them on Wikipedia. And you can contact either of the two administrators there, who happen to be the ones who took these images, and they will verify that they gave permission for the use of these images on Wikipedia. Flyer22 07:36, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Permission for use on Wikipedia is not enough. The copyright holder must have explicitly licensed it under a free license or released it into the public domain. If you would paste the text in which they granted this permission, we might be able to tell for ourselves (I'm also not signing up for the forum; I shouldn't have to). Failing that, Delete. Lewis Collard! (talk, contribs, en.wp) 16:14, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I had a feeling that an editor might say permission for use on Wikipedia is not enough, but I point out that they did not say for use on Wikipedia only. They made it clear that they did not care how these pictures were used. And you're right that you shouldn't have to sign up at the forum there, but that's the only way to see the permission granted with your own eyes, well, without me providing the text. Here is the text:
Showblaze: Hey, Lyss and Charity, would you guys mind a few of these pictures being used on Wikipedia? Alexa Havins needs an image for her article, and Wikipedia doesn't allow what they call fair-use images for real-life people when it comes to main images, though it can be fair-use when it's just promotional or a magazine cover that is not used as the main (lead) image for the actor or actress' article. Anyway, I realize that Jacob needs an image for his article as well, but I'm willing to wait for an image where his hair is shorter than in the pictures you two took with him (LOL). However, the pictures you two took with Alexa, I think there's a picture out of those that could be used for the main image of her article on Wikipedia if cropped right. I was wondering if one of you would crop one of those pictures you took of Alexa, to where it is just Alexa in the picture so that it can be used for her article on Wikipedia. And, also, would you guys mind a picture of the cake being used in the J.R. and Babe article on Wikipedia for commentary use about the fans of this couple?
Charity: I don't care...but, let me ask Lyss what she thinks and I'll let you know.
xoadbox89: i dont care either, go for it!
Showblaze: Okay, thank you guys. Could one of you crop one of the pictures you took with Alexa and post it here in this thread? The computer I'm using lately isn't allowing me to see the pictures in the link on the first page of this thread, unless you guys took those pictures down from there. And, also, this computer doesn't have my cropping program on it, and not enough space to download a new cropping program. I already have the pictures of the cake saved on this computer due to them being posted at this link: http://www.fanforum.com/f29/jr-babe-amc-because-theyre-hot-62763521/index3.html
Showblaze: I went ahead and cropped it myself. I hacked into my other computer, and got a hold of the images that I saved of you guys and Alexa and a few others from the show All My Children, then I cropped one of the images of Alexa with an online cropper, and had it added to Wikipedia. I'll probably use your pictures of "Colby" and of Jeffrey Carlson (Zarf/Zoe) as well. Anyway, thank you guys again for the permission.
Charity: Your Welcome. Glad we could you out.
I mean, if these images are deleted even though the authors of them have given full permission for their use and they are entirely free images, then I suppose the best alternative would be to ask one of the authors to sign up on Wikipedia just to upload these images for me. But I really don't see the point in that, considering the permission given. Flyer22 21:26, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
IMHO that permission is not clear enough. "Showblaze" only mentioned use on Wikipedia, but didn't mention derivative work and commercial use. So how can we be sure, that the authors really agree with that? --Kam Solusar 06:36, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
They can be contacted at that forum, of course, or emailed. However, I know that no one here wants to go through contacting them at the forum, which is where you'd get their emails, so I could have them contacted at the forum in that thread, and then present their agreement to complete use as well. Flyer22 03:15, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I guess the best solution would be to let them fill out the Email template and send it to the OTRS. --Kam Solusar 10:48, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The owners of these pictures have now given explicit statement that they have released these images into the public. Here is the dialogue:
Showblaze: Lyss and Charity, I have a new favor to ask of you guys about these pictures. Two of the pictures are up for deletion at Wikipedia, as seen in these two links: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:...lexa_Havins.jpg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:...e_fan_cake..jpg. It's Alexa's picture and the Jabe fan cake picture. The reason they were put of for deletion is because the person who nominated them for deletion thought that the license claims were bogus. But proof was provided that you two are the authors of those pictures. The only other problem now is that it can appear to some people that you two only agreed to their use on Wikipedia. Well, Wikipedia policy requires that you state that the pictures are released into public domain, not just to Wikipedia. If it isn't too much trouble, can you two please state here that you release these images into public domain? I'm sure that no one is going to take these pictures and horribly alter them on some other site, but Wikipedia wants you to state that you wouldnt mind if someone were to do that, as they are released to the public. Let me know here if you guys grant this. Your agreement will be posted in those deletion debates, and these images will most likely be spared.
Charity: So, are you saying that they are going to delete them if me or Lyss don't say that they can go into public?
We said that you could post them there. We took those pix. So, shouldn't that be good enough that me and her both said yes, that you could use them?
Showblaze: One would think. But they'd rather it be made clear. But I think that from what you just stated, it is clear now. This part of the conversation will be posted there to show this. But if either of you want to state the exact words "I release them to the public", go ahead. It couldn't hurt. In fact, it would only help.
And, of course, the link to that conversation is found above...for anyone who registered there and wants to register there to look at it with their own eyes. Sorry about that, having to register there just to read this yourselves. Flyer22 03:29, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. This is no good. The image is tagged as GFDL but nowhere in the posted text do the authors (not sure why there should be two?) grant that particular licence. Their last posting reads "We said that you could post them there. We took those pix. So, shouldn't that be good enough that me and her both said yes, that you could use them?". I think that is a question (isn't what we have said already enough?) rather than the explicit grant of any licence. There is only one way forward, and that is for the photographer to send formal permission to OTRS, as in fact Kam Solusar suggested above.MichaelMaggs 09:06, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Absurd license claims -Nard 05:07, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What's absurd about the license? And they aren't claims. The source provided clearly shows permission for use of the image. Flyer22 05:36, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Source unverifiable. I even joined the board and I cannot see the topic. -Nard 05:53, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Let me see what I can do. The source is there. I haven't visited that thread in a few months, but I certainly didn't make up that source. Permission was most definitely given by the owners of that site, who took these pictures. Flyer22 07:04, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, here's the two links documenting the granted permission given for these pictures and any pictures they took that day while there.[98][99] Since you joined that board, those links should work for you. If not, just go to the bottom of the site where it says Event recaps, select that, and then while inside, select the thread titled Lyss & Char @ AMC Studios. Pages 2 (at the very bottom) and 3 (at the top, since there isn't much conversation on Page 3 of that topic) will display the permission given to freely use the images they took that day, permission given to use them on Wikipedia. And you can contact either of the two administrators there, who happen to be the ones who took these images, and they will verify that they gave permission for the use of these images on Wikipedia. Flyer22 07:26, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Permission for use on Wikipedia is not enough, but I point out that they did not say for use on Wikipedia only. They made it clear that they did not care how these pictures were used. And none of the editors here should have to sign up at the forum there, but that's the only way to see the permission granted with your own eyes, well, without me providing the text. Here is the text:

Showblaze: Hey, Lyss and Charity, would you guys mind a few of these pictures being used on Wikipedia? Alexa Havins needs an image for her article, and Wikipedia doesn't allow what they call fair-use images for real-life people when it comes to main images, though it can be fair-use when it's just promotional or a magazine cover that is not used as the main (lead) image for the actor or actress' article. Anyway, I realize that Jacob needs an image for his article as well, but I'm willing to wait for an image where his hair is shorter than in the pictures you two took with him (LOL). However, the pictures you two took with Alexa, I think there's a picture out of those that could be used for the main image of her article on Wikipedia if cropped right. I was wondering if one of you would crop one of those pictures you took of Alexa, to where it is just Alexa in the picture so that it can be used for her article on Wikipedia. And, also, would you guys mind a picture of the cake being used in the J.R. and Babe article on Wikipedia for commentary use about the fans of this couple?

Charity: I don't care...but, let me ask Lyss what she thinks and I'll let you know.

xoadbox89: i dont care either, go for it!

Showblaze: Okay, thank you guys. Could one of you crop one of the pictures you took with Alexa and post it here in this thread? The computer I'm using lately isn't allowing me to see the pictures in the link on the first page of this thread, unless you guys took those pictures down from there. And, also, this computer doesn't have my cropping program on it, and not enough space to download a new cropping program. I already have the pictures of the cake saved on this computer due to them being posted at this link: http://www.fanforum.com/f29/jr-babe-amc-because-theyre-hot-62763521/index3.html

Showblaze: I went ahead and cropped it myself. I hacked into my other computer, and got a hold of the images that I saved of you guys and Alexa and a few others from the show All My Children, then I cropped one of the images of Alexa with an online cropper, and had it added to Wikipedia. I'll probably use your pictures of "Colby" and of Jeffrey Carlson (Zarf/Zoe) as well. Anyway, thank you guys again for the permission.

Charity: Your Welcome. Glad we could you out.

Please provide author's name and/or his/her death. The dedication plaque dates only from 1936, but the manufact could be older. --User:G.dallorto 20:13, 12 January 2008 (UTC) --User:G.dallorto 20:14, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Are you arguing for or against deletion? I've never seen someone argue that something could be older and thus still copyrighted. Surely it works the other way around? -Nard 21:10, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Neither. To make my mind, I need to know the author's name and his death date. It is not percentually very likely that the author died immediately after completing the work, but it might have happened: people have to die, soon or late, and no date is written in advance. So, it suffices to tell us who the author is ans when he died. Othwerwise, someone who was alive in 1936, is too close to the limit date for copyviol (1937). Furthermore, the plaque is dated 1936, but was the bust made in 1936, or they simply added a plaque to an older bust? And so on. To make it short, uploader should provide evidence of the work of art being in the PD. Does this sound new to you? --User:G.dallorto 21:21, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Derivative of non-free copyrighted works. —LX (talk, contribs) 12:05, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I shot the photo so the copyrights are mine. It is true that in the photo you can see cd covers, but it is not simply a picture of a cd cover. Neenche 12:35, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as deriv work. Megapixie 12:48, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You hold the copyright to your contribution to the photograph, but you cannot publish or license it legally without consent from the other contributing copyright holders (namely the copyright holders of the CD covers). See Commons:Derivative works#If I take a picture of an object with my own camera, I hold the copyright to the picture. Can't I license it any way I choose? Why do I have to worry about other copyright holders? The photograph is used to show the CD covers, not to illustrate the piano in the background. The inclusion of the CD covers cannot be considered de minimis. —LX (talk, contribs) 13:03, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete A nice arrangement for the photo, but as the covers of the cds are likely coprighted, derivative, so not allowed on Commons. -- 17:17, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
The piano, and the arrangement are the key in this photo, I still feel it is not derivative, because it's not just a picture of one cd, it does not show this album or another but Bebop. Artists, albums, piano, and a vibe. But I might be mistaken... Neenche 20:27, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This assumption that adding a background to a copyrighted work and taking a picture of it decouples it from its existing copyright is addressed in Commons:Derivative works#If I take a photograph of a kid who is holding a stuffed Winnie the Pooh toy, does Disney own the copyright in the photo since they own the Pooh design? You're trying to dodge the copyright protection of the album covers by adding a piano, but the piano is not the subject, the albums are. —LX (talk, contribs) 21:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Today someone puts a cross on Israeli flag, tomorrow someone will put a cross on the Saudi flag saying that Saudi are terrorists (because OsamaK is Saudi) then the American/Chinese/Russian etc flags.

  • Not very no-sign is a problem. If you dont want icecream eaten by children in your library you have a sign. This ok.
  • A sign in a certain way calling for war against a state is not ok.

    Owning a copy of a work (even if it is the only copy) does not mean you are the copyright holder of the work. That's why the Swedish and German words for copyright are upphovsrätt and urheberrecht, respectively (directly translating into originator's right). 1 kap. 1 § Lag (1960:729) om upphovsrätt till litterära och konstnärliga verk states that "he who has created a literary or artistic work holds the copyright to the work," not "he who is in possession of a physical representation of the work holds the copyright." This is also why copyright is called an immaterial right, not a material right, like the right to physical property. This has been dealt with many times before here. —LX (talk, contribs) 15:43, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Scanning an image does not make it public domain --Wafulz 00:42, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

requirement for public domain when scanning text or photographing text

edit

I have done a bit of reading and am confused and looking for help. I'm not trying to be defensive or waste anyone's time.

I was under the impression that I have scanned pure text and not a specific image. I could have run OCR and created a pdf. I understand that a photograph is an image that needs to be in public domain. Is a scan of pure text the same level of "image" that requires the same "process" to be in the public domain?

My understanding is that in the jpeg there is enough content about the source of the document. See document here:times article There is the published date, the publisher, the title of the article, and the author. If I were to create block text and type the article into Wikipedia by hand and give all that reference material it would be more than adequate for Wikipedia, but it would take a lot of time. The author is dead and I have contacted the family and the New York times about my efforts to try to objectively describe the "Neversink Gorge Controversy;" I am waiting for them to get back to me and I anticipate their support. I am happy to remove the .jpg if it clearly flys in the face of established wiki practice; please refer me to the specific precedent that makes this clear so I do not waste more time.

I have vital documents, articles, photographs, recorded interviews, etc, from over the last 150 years, to create an important "document" about the Neversink Gorge and the unique waterfall therein, High Falls, that is part owned by the state and part owned by Benjamin Wechsler. This battle between public and private interest is very complicated and I am excited to engage a larger audience in the debate of public access vs. private land owner rights.

In a nutshell: how do I deal with a personal letter from Ariel Sharon to Ben Wechsler. Can I scan it? Can I photograph it and call it my "work" or do I need Sharon and Wechsler to give me permission to use any copy of it. See scanned "image" here: Sharon Letter

Please do not delete the image in dispute until DragonFlySixtySeven has told me what to do.

Thank you.

--Petebertine 01:43, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Even if you had put the text in, it would still be deleted. Wikipedia would not accept a complete rip of a NYT article. The New York Times is exceptionally vigilant about the copyright on their text and images. The text is not public domain. You may get away with using it for fair use on your own website, but Commons only accepts completely free content. As for the letter you scanned, I changed the tag on it. You may be able to get away with it due to a quirk in US copyright law. -Nard 02:46, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the quick reply and helping me with the Sharon letter. Is there a way to place some of the text from the NYT article in wikipedia if properly referenced? I am trying to show a positive response by a New York Times article to the situation in the gorge and a negative response by a different article in The New York Times. It illustrates the enormous complexities of the issues, I am not trying to "discredit" the Times or prove a specific point. Nor do I stand to benefit. All sides agree that the Gorge and High Falls should be put to the best possible use without destroying it.

I have articles from local papers from towns surrounding the Gorge. How do I best reference them? --96.224.202.28 03:32, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You can use Template:cite news for citing newspapers on Wikipedia. Also, the New York Times has an online archive- while this only gives you a short preview of an article, it can provide a URL to link to. For example, I found this article.-Wafulz 05:52, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt that this image was created by the uploader. It shows "Caras Galadhon", a place in Lord of the Rings. The same image is also available on this site. And this matte painting shows the exact same place, but it looks slightly different. So I guess the image is either a screenshot from a LOTR movie or a derivative work of the matte painting.

Not "information that is common property and contains no original authorship" (and as far as I can see, it falls one year short of PD-US). Would it be in the public domain for any other reason? —LX (talk, contribs) 12:07, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, Image:BillFlagg TetraRecords.jpg is in the public domain because it has nothing but text on it. That does not apply here. —LX (talk, contribs) 14:33, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The content of both images is the same. What's different? They're only from different label and different artists, that's all. Waylon 15:53, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The difference is that this one has more than just text on it. Or are you saying that the decorative banners are purely informational and contain no original authorship? —LX (talk, contribs) 16:58, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I'm sceptical that this record label design is PD ineligible. This image may or may not be PD-US for some other reason. What is the latest date on the series of copyrights at the bottom of the label? (I can't quite make them out at this resolution, and while I do happen to have a Columbia flag label of that era, the print is so miniscule on the original that I can't read it without a jewler's loupe or microscope, neither of which I have at hand.) If the most recent copyright date is 1922 or earlier, keep. Even if this disc is a couple years later, if the label design is pre-1923, it is PD-US; I think if the only change to the PD-US by age label is the text stating the artist and title, that modification would indeed be PD ineligible. -- Infrogmation 17:09, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Can you develop that argument a bit more? Say, by explaining why or even addressing the concerns raised? I'm afraid simply repeating the name of the licensing tag used when the applicability of that tag is called into question doesn't really bring the argument forward. —LX (talk, contribs) 06:37, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Ubuntu Logo is subject to trademark restrictions which render it unsuitable for Commons. --Fibonacci 18:37, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Trademarked is not a reason to delete... it would need to be tagged with {{trademarked}}. However, I don't see a clear indication that the copyright is licensed cc-by-sa, though it is certainly quite possible. The original source appears to be here, and the credited author appears to be wrong based on its description. Carl Lindberg 22:40, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not even if the trademark policy explicitly states that "Permission from us is necessary to use any of the Trademarks [for] Any commercial use"? --Fibonacci 23:01, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Trademark law has limits to it, which are different than copyright. Trademark's "commercial use" is quite different than copyright's "commercial use"... the former is for situations where it is used for a product different than Ubuntu's, or implying a connection to Ubuntu in some way; i.e. using Ubuntu's reputation for a purpose other than simply identifying Ubuntu or one of their products. It should be fine to display it on an encyclopedia article about Ubuntu, or in other contexts (even commercial products, like magazine articles) when it unambiguously is used to identify Ubuntu. See w:Trademark infringement and w:Trademark dilution... a "trademark license" cannot bar usages which are already fine under trademark law; they can only allow usage in cases where trademark law would otherwise not allow it. Now, if Ubuntu is also using copyright to enforce those restrictions, then there is a problem. Carl Lindberg 23:28, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If it's only OK when "it unambiguously is used to identify Ubuntu", then it is not free. --Fibonacci 04:01, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Our use of "free" is specific to the copyright license, not laws external to copyright. See this note on COM:L. It is a slippery slope otherwise, as there many kinds of non-copyright restrictions out there. For example, there are many commercial uses of photos of identifiable people which are restricted due to marketing and personality laws, but we host those too.

Keep The trademark restrictions expressed in [109] are essentially the same restrictions as for Image:US-GreatSeal-Obverse.svg (accepted on Commons) : usages or adaptation restrictions exist because of the very (legal) nature of the thing, but there is no authorization needed nor fee to pay for any lawful usage. Since the "logo" nature of the picture is essential to its interest, no license can ever dismiss the legal nature of the picture. Therefore, the picture is "as free as it can legally be", which makes it acceptable according to Commons criteria. Michelet-密是力 21:26, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This was previously nominated for deletion because of trademark issues; keeping it was entirely appropriate on those grounds. But there is no evidence that this logo (which, I think, is clearly above the threshold of originality, and is therefore copyrighted) has been released under the given, or any, free license. Lewis Collard! (lol, internet) 19:57, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment I thought I'd be kind and comment before a summary deletion of this image. But here is what I've found:
    1. The source website is "Copyright © 2006 - 2007 Mark Shuttleworth"
    2. Ubuntu.com is "© 2008 Canonical Ltd. Ubuntu and Canonical are registered trademarks of Canonical Ltd."
    3. The trademark policy states:
      • "It should also be borne in mind that the more you wish to vary our logos from their standard form the smaller is the chance that we will be able to approve your proposed use." - Which means it is essentially ND.
    4. Same Policy page states:
      • "Permission from us is necessary to use any of the Trademarks under any circumstances other than those specifically permitted above. These include: Any commercial use" - Which means it is NC.
    5. Nothing tells us where this "cc-by-sa-3.0" license on the image comes from.
    6. Uploading user only has that 1 contribution, which is suspicious in and of itself.
    7. From the Ubuntu Legal page:
      • "The website HTML, text, images audio, video, software or other content that is made available on this website are the property of someone - the author in the case of content produced elsewhere and reproduced here with permission, or Canonical or its content suppliers. Before you use this content in some way please take care to ensure that you have the relevant rights and permissions from the copyright holder." - This includes the logo.
  • So that is everything I found worth mentioning. Unless someone has permission or a convincing argument. I will delete this image. --ShakataGaNai ^_^ 02:06, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • On point #3 and #4, please stick to the issue. If you're not using it in such a way as to misrepresent yourself or your product, i.e. within the scope of their trademark, than their trademark policy is completely irrelevant (and they're actually granting permissions that traditional trademark law does not). Copyright is the only issue here. Lewis Collard! (lol, internet) 02:17, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • The "issue" here is if we (Commons) have permission to use this image. Now I figured that it is possible that they may mean to explain the copyright status and usage of their trademarked material (Which includes their logo). So I figured it was relevant to include. Additionally, since we have very little information directly regarding the logo, I figured that ANYTHING that would shed some light on the situation here would be helpful. That being said - yes, I know we (Commons) don't give a shit about trademarks other than {{Trademark}}. --ShakataGaNai ^_^ 02:23, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • You may as well try to derive their copyright policy from a page talking about what they had for breakfast that morning; other than the fact they're both mistakenly lumped into the category of "intellectual property", copyrights and trademarks have nothing to do with each other. Lewis Collard! (lol, internet) 02:31, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Reino, if this is indeed your photograph, please do upload a higher resolution version. Your recently deleted image (red link on [112]) makes me think you may not be very sure on copyright questions. If I am wrong, I apologize. Patrícia msg 08:31, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's in use on three wikis, so it's hardly out of scope. Judging by context (I can't read those languages) it seems to be the gravesite of en:Ilya Repin. Yep; (non-free) Flickr image of same here. The image size is definitely suspicious, but I can't find a source version of this image online with a search. Can a higher-resolution version be uploaded? Carl Lindberg 07:21, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's in use in three wikis only because the uploader itself added it there. That's also the reason why I noticed it (we have some problems with him in German WP and so all his edits are checked). And yes, according to the description, he added in German and Finnish WP, it is Repins grave indeed. Maybe somebody who speaks Russian can tell him to upload a better version, because that's the only language he is able to communicate in. In other languages it's just some words. -- Cecil 08:37, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The software FlightGear is under {{GPL}}, so the license tag {{PD-self}} is not correct. I would have corrected that but the screenshot is showing the unfree Continental logo on the tail (see: Commons:Licensing#Screenshots). ALE! ¿…? 09:22, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • There's going to be some argument that this screenshot is not designed to illustrate the Continental Logo, but rather, the program in question, but it's present and clear all the same. If this was a photograph, there would be no question, it would be purely incidental inclusion, but with it being software and the inclusion being deliberate within the program, I think I would probably go with the image being a derivative work, but it's a really really close call.

Nazi images are not public domain in Germany. Although these can be considered PD in the U.S. by virtue of being seized enemy property, they are not eligible for hosting on Commons. See also Commons:Deletion requests/Image:26543e.jpg. --howcheng {chat} 17:52, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The images are PD in US and in Poland - country of origin and first publication. What else needs to be proven? Just being Nazi images does not prevent plenty of images in Hitler category. --Jarekt 18:19, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that as Stroop is a German citizen, German law applies, despite the fact that the images were taken in Poland. howcheng {chat} 18:29, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Jurgen Stroop was nor author, nor the first editor of this photos. There were made by unknown author, and first published in Poland in 1946. According to Berne Covention Art. 5. [114] the place of first publishing resolves the question of law, which should be in effect towards the photo. It is not a matter of nationality or citizenship of an unknown author ( It could be anyone from Eastern troops of SS ( Russian, Latvian, Ukrainian in the commando of Jurgen Stroop - commander of SS troops attacking Warsaw Ghetto in 1943) see- en:Holocaust, see en:Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

The question is resolved by the place of publication ( Poland).

    • Wait a second. It could not have been published in 1946 because the Stroop Report was compiled before the end of the war. During this time, can one actually say that it was published in Poland such that Polish laws would take precedence when the country was under Nazi occupation? Wouldn't German law be in effect? howcheng {chat} 22:01, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Unless I'm badly mistaken, Warsaw was never annexed into Germany. So country of photography = Poland. If the first country of publication is also Poland than Polish public domain law would apply, I believe? Just because, say, a Canadian manager hires a photographer of unknown nationality to take a photograph in Nigeria and publishes it in Nigeria, I don't see why Canadian law would apply. Am I missing something here? Durova 00:36, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • The Polish 1946 book (which I have) was obviously printed after WWII. The original report was not published, it was typed and hand-written in 2 copies, each one quite different. I believe one copy is in US and one in Polish archives.--Jarekt 13:27, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The country of origin rule stumbles on war cases. It seems to me that we usually look on the nationality of the photographer rather than the country were the photo was taken, see US-Gov pictures of the afghan or iraqi wars. Therefore i think that german rules have to be applied.--Wiggum 14:59, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • It seems to me, like we are splitting hair, arguing about set of images that were some of the most iconic and most reproduced images from WWII, and which are PD in Poland and US. If the unknown author of the photographs ever materialize to claim his copyrights, he can argue his case with Polish Archives, which are in possession of this collection and released them to PD. I do not know anything about German copyright law, but those images clearly fall within template:PD-Polish, which suppose to be valid worldwide and which explicitly covers foreign photographers published first in Poland. I am not a lawyer qualified to argue international law issues here, I just assumed that if an image clearly falls within one of PD templates, than it is safe to invest time and effort to properly research and label it, without a danger of someone coming and deleting weeks of your effort.--Jarekt 17:23, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment ***The original ( the only one existing copy) of Jürgen Stroop report was transferred to the property of Polish State by US- Army authorities , just after Nuremburg Trials.This original is now in property of Institute for National Rememberance in Warsaw (Poland). The first publication of all photos from this document was made in Poland in 1946. The author of all photos is unknown - and for the reason he was a member of Stroop commando ( with nationality unknown - it was Germans, Latvians, Russians, Ukrainians) he is from the beginning in prosecution for participating in genocide and for this reason he will never in fact be disclosed personally.

According to Berne Convention art. 5. [115] in any case of anonymous works the law, shall to be in effect is the law of country of the first publication of photo.

For the reason - the country of publishing is Poland , the clear regulations of Polish copyright law are in effect. See {{PD-Polish}}. See discussion on enwiki about.

 Comment Given lack of evidence of publication in Germany, I have to favor first publication in Poland. Without evidence, the claim that an anonymous work may have previously been published in Germany is just as strong as a claim that maybe it was previously published by an unusually advanced herd of cattle. Current U.S. copyright law is practical in treating anonymous works in accordance to whatever publish date or creation date is known (see, for example title 17, chapter 3, section 302c describing conditions when an anonymous author is revealed) [116].

 Comment "The Photograph Book" (ISBN 0 7148 3937 X) is a book of 500 photographs by 500 most famous photographers. Image:Stroop Report - Warsaw Ghetto Uprising 09.jpg is chosen as a most famous picture by "Unknown" Photographer.--Jarekt 01:29, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment I will attempt to summaries the arguments so far:

  • History of the photographs:
    • All photographs in question are of Polish-Jews taken in 1943 in Poland, during Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, by unknown photographer of unknown nationality, fighting on the German side in SS unit of Jurgen Stroop. The photographer was either German or belonged to one of the Russian, Latvian or Ukrainian units operating in the ghetto.
    • Photos were part of the famous Stroop Report to Himmler. The report was typed and hand written in a single official copy and different single known draft.
    • "Seized as enemy property by the U.S. government and used by the Office of the U.S. Chief of Counsel for the Prosecution of Axis Criminality as evidence in the Nuremberg Trials." quote from here. As such they are considered Public Domain on English Wikipedia after long discussion here. They are also listed as public Domain by w:United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (see http://www.ushmm.org/uia-cgi/uia_doc/photos/5296 )
    • In 1940's the images (and the report(s)) were given to Polish Government, which published them in a book: Stanisław Piotrowski (1948) Sprawozdanie Juergena Stroopa, Warsaw: Spółdzielnia Wydawnicza Książka no ISBN, without any copyright claims. The book is in my possession.
    • Only subset of the photographs found in both versions of Stroop Report were uploaded to commons - The ones included in Piotrowski's book.
  • Legal status
    • The images clearly fall within scope of template:PD-Polish and as such are PD in Poland, and should be PD world-wide
    • Wiki commons rules state that images have to be in public domain in US and in "Country of origin"
    • Concerns were raised that the country of origin should be Germany instead of Poland, because high probability that unknown photographer was of German nationality; however, according to Berne Covention Art. 5. [117] "The country of origin shall be considered to be: (a) in the case of works first published in a country of the Union, that country". Poland has first known publication of those photographs.

Bad quality image. There are another images: Image:Flag of Kharkiv Oblast.png and Image:Kharkiv.jpg Ahonc 20:47, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Finland-swedish.jpg

edit
This image has been hand-drawn to approximately show the spread of Swedish in Finland. However, if more than 8% of a municipality is Swedish-speaking, then the municipality must become bilingual. Therefore, it is accurate to replace this map with the newer map, where Finnish municipalities are individually colored. Also, the image is in JPG format. Also, the image is necessarily POV and inaccurate, because it is hand-drawn and fails to show subnational borders.
The superseding map

Keep In use at several wikipedia's and also see Commons:Deletion requests/Superseded. Multichill 23:26, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. Also note there's a difference between this and the "superseding": The latter shows only the legally bilingual municipalitieas (with over 8% Swedish-speakers - more than 17,000 Swedish Finns live in officially monolingual Finnish municipalities, and are thus not represented on the map). The suggested deletion shows a larger area, including where less than 8% are Swedish speakers. --Janke | Talk 07:53, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This image is not violating some kind of copyright, due to the fact it's an attempt to reproduce (in Photoshop) a specific art design for the artist. However, looking at the details, it´s not the art design made for the artist. It's not a copyrighted material but an image that tends to be confused with the original. It can also be confused with a derivate of the original, but it's not. It is not an edition of the original. It´s an image constructed from nothing else but it's author, who tried to make it similar to the original. That was the main idea, to make it similar...for it to be kept in Commons.

Delete: So far I haven't seen any information on the image page telling us where this image has been published more than 70 years ago. As long this is missing, {{PD-EU-no author disclosure}} is inappropriate. In addition, simply telling that the photographer is unknown is likewise not acceptable as long as no indication is given why this is the case and/or what you have done to research the photographer's name. Why was this image restored after the previous deletion? --AFBorchert (talk) 20:55, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that this request for deletion is pure bullshit. But I am ready for a compromise. Will you follow the French Wikipedia contributors who are certainly the most competent to work out if the image is in the public domain in France? So I will accept the deletion if the image would be deleted on the French Wikipedia for a copyright violation. Yann (talk) 12:38, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Äh, no. Just in July I've seen that there are a lot of French contributors who would prefer to ignore the laws of their country and keep things that are a copyright violation just to have something to illustrate their articles. There were a few who understood and encouraged the deletion request, but the majority just called the law stupid. So I would prefer someone neutral. -- Cecil (talk) 12:56, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Who is neutral? People who request completely irrelevant criteria? Or normal people who try to use their common sense? There are thousand of images like this one on Commons. Do not single out one. If you really mean it, make a list and a deletion request for them all. In a side note, you didn't said why {{PD-EU-no author disclosure}} would be "inappropriate". Yann (talk) 14:08, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So because we're not deleting everything erroneously claimed as an anonymous work, we should delete none of them at all? By the same logic, we'd never delete anything (because after all, we're never going to eliminate every copyright violation from here). Anyway, if the author is truly anonymous, then present some evidence that the author never claimed authorship of the work, or demonstrate that it can not be found with a reasonable amount of effort. Either that, or ask some fr.wp users to do it for you if you like (and no, zerging the deletion request will not work). There is nothing "bullshit" about demanding this. Lewis Collard! (lol, internet) 21:28, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When do you stop accusing me for what you do yourself? Yann (talk) 21:35, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Where did I use my extra rights as admin in the wrong way? I have not restored images that were deleted by other admins and I don't keep/delete images with my own private rationale. With this deletion request I just took the rights every user has. I doubt that it would have been miss-use to delete the image again with reference to the previous request, but instead decided to get a few more opinions which currently all look approving to me. -- Cecil (talk) 21:49, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't restore this image. I uploaded another one with another template, because I think there is a misunderstanding on the rationale for keeping this image, which is available on several Wikipedias with exactly the rationale I advocate here. So yes, you attack me with wrong facts and false allegations, and you abuse your admin rights in deleting this image. Yann (talk) 21:58, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You restored the image one time. This time you just waited a few weeks before trying it with a different licence for which you have not yet brought a proove that it is valid. -- Cecil (talk) 22:07, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Previous deletion requests accepted the rationale that old photos without an author can be considered as PD (see Commons:Deletion requests/World War I era images (02/08/2006)). Why not now for this one, which is even older than WWI images in the RfD mentioned? See also Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Anonymous_work... and I forgot Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Anonymous-EU and many others. I think that double standard is applied here. Yann (talk) 22:41, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You should consider taking up acrobatics; the contortions through which you have gone to avoid the issue would be impressive were it not for the fact that you're an administrator and really should know better. Again: Where is the evidence that the author of this work was never known or is undeterminable with a reasonable amount of effort? "I haven't bothered to try and find out the author" is not the same thing as "the author was anonymous". Lewis Collard! (lol, internet) 03:48, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And this is not the only missing point, Lewis Collard, as we still have no proof that this image was published 70 years ago as required by {{PD-EU-no author disclosure}}:

Notice to uploaders: To use this template, the image must meet both of the following two conditions: (1) published over 70 years ago, and (2) the original author's actual identity was not publicly disclosed in connection with this image within 70 years following its publication. Images that lack either of these two conditions should not use this template.

Please note that some countries grant copyright for editio princeps that extend for some years (in Germany 25 years) independent from the time of the author's death. In other words: Even if the author is dead for more than 70 years, it might still be copyright protected if it has been published for the first time just some years ago. I would recommend to hunt for images in old publications and not on random web sites as these proofs become much easier if you scan these images from old prints. Another option is, of course, to correspond with the maintainers of the referenced web site to inquire where this image has been taken from. --AFBorchert (talk) 05:38, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Now a claim that it wasn't published... and I was told to "take up acrobatics"... Ah! Ah! Ah! Yann (talk) 10:15, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I do not claim that it wasn't published. It has obviously been published on the web site you have copied that image from. The question is whether you have any proof that this image was already published 70 years ago which is one of the preconditions to take advantage of the {{PD-EU-no author disclosure}} template. --AFBorchert (talk) 10:26, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That image says: "Early version of Boeing 247 10-passenger twin-engine transport; 1933 [Peter C. Boisseau]". That means we can assume that the image was provided and made by Peter C. Boisseau and dates from 1933. There is no indication that Peter is not the photograper, and he was an engineer at NASA's Langley research center as indicated by the technical reports that can be found in a google search.

Why do you think it was photographed in Finland? It is from the German Wikipedia so you would think the photo was taken in Germany or something. // Liftarn
In this case it should be declared: if you want the "freedom of panorama" clause to apply, you should state it.

Yes, that too. // Liftarn
If it were just "common" forniture, then it should be presented as "a table". This is no commons forniture, this is design forniture by Aalto, and as such it is patented. --User:G.dallorto 16:34, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Furniture is furniture. If it's meant to be used it's not an artwork. // Liftarn
Keep It generally doesn't matter how stylish the design is -- if it relates to the functional use, it's not artwork. If a picture was made on the surface, that can be different. If the maker has a design patent on it (not the same as copyright), that should be noted probably, but I would assume that would only restrict other furniture makers from using a similar design, and not photographs of it. Carl Lindberg 17:07, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That is not universally true. In the U.S., there is this (conceptual) "separability test". But other countries may see things differently. In Switzerland, a Watch was in 1998 considered copyrighted.[123] In Germany, utilitarian objects that are artistic (in the sense that their elaboration is clearly above the norm) may be copyrighted.[124] Mart Stam got a copyright in Germany in 1932 on a chair.[125] See also this old discussion. But I don't know whether Aalto's "Teewagen" would be copyrighted in either Germany or Finland. Lupo 20:27, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting. Yes, I should have said that the situation may be different countries other than the U.S., as I'm less familiar with them, though we often apply that test from what I've seen. The Commons:Image casebook#Utility objects section seems to say the same thing. These types of copyrights seem to be the exception rather than the rule as well. Also, are they copyrighted under general artistic copyright concepts, or more of a design copyright with perhaps different restrictions? It seems a little odd to suggest that a photograph is a derivative work of a table design (rather it would exist to prevent other makers from making furniture with similar designs), but who knows. In looking around, I did find out that even the U.S. has a framework set up for design copyrights (17 U.S.C chapter 13), which gives a period of protection of 10 years if registered, but even that still allows photographs of the objects. However, it is currently limited to boat hulls only (it was put in place for the Vessel Hull Design Protection Act of 1998, gotta love it). The U.S. does have design patents as well, but those are harder to get. Carl Lindberg 03:34, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If the vase is free from trademark patents, then, this ought at least be remarked in the description of the object. This is not a thing than may be taken for granted without knowing about it. Furthermore, I insist we are dealing with an object which intends applying art to a functional object. BTW I don't want it to be deleted, I'd rather like it to stay. But I am not convinced at all about the fact "functionality" thing may work except for your average geranium pot, not certainly for a design work signed by an artist. Otherwise, why bothering in having him design it? And why would people pay 1,000 times the cost of the geranium vase, if it were a mere question of function? It's patent they are buying it as a work of art. --User:G.dallorto 00:47, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Trademarks, patents, and copyright are all very different from one another. On commons, we usually are concerned just about copyrights. If an item is trademarked, but not under copyright, we generally keep it and mark it with {{trademarked}} (since in all likelihood there is a wikipedia article we can use it on without violating the trademark). Photographs of patented objects are generally not specially protected (other than the usual copyright on the photo itself) and are almost never an issue for commons. The question here is if the table is copyrighted (and if pictures of the same count as derivative works), which is usually not the case for utilitarian items, but if you know of a specific copyright or law in this case, let us know. I have no knowledge of Finnish law. Given the usual practice though, I think we should tend to allow photographs of utilitarian objects, unless a demonstrated copyright, law, or court case seems to indicate otherwise. If not we are on a pretty slippery slope to disallowing photographs of almost any object, since a huge number of products have some distinctive design twist which could then be claimed as "art". Carl Lindberg 03:34, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, you convinced me. Obviously a table can't be copyrighted. If you say that patents are of no importance to Commons, then we sorted the thing out. As far as I know a design object is protected as a work of art in Italy (there have been rather nasty disputes about Italian furniture makers making and selling replicas of design furniture designed by dead artists) but entering the subtilities of the Finish law is beyond my reach. My only doubt is, then: why may I not upload, say, an IKEA object here, then? Or may I? --User:G.dallorto 13:04, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, there is a difference between making a replica of a table and showing a picture of a table. One is a question of en:Design patent and/or en:Industrial design rights. The other is a question of the photographer's rights. You may take a photo of an IKEA chaif and upload it here, but you can't make copies of the chairs and sell them. And why Finnish law? Was the photo taken in Finland? // Liftarn

You could conceivably trademark it yes, but that is different than copyright (and freedom of panorama is specific to copyright). It would also not preclude uploading a photograph. The question here is copyright, and in general we allow photographs of utilitarian objects (see Commons:Image casebook#Utility objects). Carl Lindberg 04:02, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I read the part you refer to. I agree on the fact that a "plain" vase may be photographed. Vases are a 30,000 years old concept. What I am saying is that this particular vase is not a "plain" vase, this is a sculpture, which is usable as a vase (this is the concept of "design" objects: work of art to be used as utilitarian objects). It is signed by a famous artist, so much so that it is in fact uploaded here as an example of his work. Are there not any precedent cases on the issue, to refer to? It's unlikely this problems is surfacing for the first time now. --User:G.dallorto 12:56, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If this was taken in the U.S., there is definitely no problem -- utilitarian objects are not subject to copyright. From [126]:
A "useful article" is an article having an intrinsic utilitarian function that is not merely to portray the appearance of the article or to convey information. Examples are clothing, furniture, machinery, dinnerware, and lighting fixtures. An article that is normally part of a useful article may itself be a useful article, for example, an ornamental wheel cover on a vehicle.
Copyright does not protect the mechanical or utilitarian aspects of such works of craftsmanship. It may, however, protect any pictorial, graphic, or sculptural authorship that can be identified separately from the utilitarian aspects of an object. Thus, a useful article may have both copyrightable and uncopyrightable features. For example, a carving on the back of a chair or a floral relief design on silver flatware could be protected by copyright, but the design of the chair or flatware itself could not.
It goes on to say that a design patent must be obtained to protect against other manufacturers using the design. Other countries may have different dividing lines, but this test is still often used here. This photo came from en-wiki supposedly, so it may well be a U.S. photo. Carl Lindberg 14:43, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete To me that looks like what is called "art glass", i.e. as much glass sculpture than utilitarian object. So the picture may well be a copyvio. --Simonxag 02:56, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete A creative copyright attaches to utilitarian items that have a substantial creative component. Durova 21:48, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not in the United States; the creative part has to be separable from the utilitarian aspect (i.e. a graphic design on the surface). If this is a U.S. photo of a product sold there, there is definitely no problem. Other countries may be different, but is there any indication that such copyright would actually carry through to photos of the object, as opposed to just preventing competing vase makers from using the same design? Is there any case law which indicates it might? That would seem odd for a design copyright; which I think is very different than regular artistic copyright applied with pure sculpture.

If you have specific information on Aalto claiming copyright (or know of a Finnish law which indicates that distinctive craftsmanship counts as sculpture, it may be different.

seal would have been created after statehood (1959) so there is no reason this would be PD Calliopejen 19:16, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Alaska's state legislation Sec. 44.09.010 states "A person may not use or make a die or impression of the state seal for any advertising or commercial purpose, unless written permission has first been obtained from the lieutenant governor". Commercial use prohibited=not on commons, but other sites say the image was designed in 1910.[130] auburnpilot (talk) 20:01, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, at least the older version, I think. The original upload version looks like the one from the US embassy site here. A slightly larger version was uploaded but no source specified... that may be an issue although they do look like the same rendering, with very slight differences. Hm, it looks like the version from here, which implies they probably both came from the same source vector version. Maybe the State department has the original vector version on the CD-ROM?
Seals are defined in law, but each independent rendering usually carries its own copyright (they are not derivative works of the textual description, and can vary quite a bit, as there is usually a lot of room left for artistic license), so the source of the image is important. Obviously if it was drawn using an existing rendering to help, that would be derivative -- but, this seal does date from 1910 (and even a 1959 work which was not renewed could be PD), so there are existing PD sources to draw from. This rendering is newer, but if the US Federal Government made it, then it is PD (from a copyright standpoint at least) on that account. As for the second point, yes there is a state law restricting usage analogous to trademark, and it should be marked with {{insignia}} to indicate that. That restriction is not part of copyright law though, and commons' commercial use prohibition is only if that restriction is part of the copyright license itself. In this case, the use of any rendering is restricted no matter who makes the image, so we just need to make sure our use does not violate that law. Displaying it on a Wikipedia article about Alaska should be fine though. The tag will probably need to be changed to PD-USGov-State though. See also Commons_talk:Licensing/Archive_7#Template:US_state_seal where this was discussed at length. Carl Lindberg 15:20, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is a respected University, not some kind of unknown entity and there is no doubt that they know what copyright is. I see not to beleave the information.

Pavel wanted to say, that Mitrevsky can't own the copyright on this portreit, for Natan Altman had died in 1970 and this portreit is in Russian Museum (St-Petersburg, Russia). So, you were right in your opinion - the image should be removed from Commons. Sorry for the mistake. --MaryannaNesina 18:21, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The date of the work is before 1923 (it's done in 1914), so, copyright doesn't apply here [132] (no matter where the painting is). Alefbe 20:01, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
But Natan Altman had died only in 1970 MaryannaNesina 20:52, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't matter. According to this, just because the work is published before 1923, the work is in public domain. No other condition is needed. Alefbe 22:20, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
...except that it has to be a U.S. work, which is not the case here --Phrood 19:39, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On the same page it is explained that all art works published by non-USA artist before 1923 are public domain. I think it is enough to remove "for deletion" tag.

  • Some time ago i found this graphic copyvio because i thought that it's impossible to repeat such a specific logo. I'm not sure if a self-made logo is copyrighted or not but how about rights of the owner of this logo-pattern :? patrol110 00:36, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I get a raster image from Internet, trace it in Inscape, save result as simple SVG and simplify SVG in notepad. Logo itself used by Lenenergo for a very long time. The company has been renamed to Lenenergo (Ленэнерго) in 1932. Therefore the this logo (stylized «Л» and «Э») cannot be older than 1932. Unfortunately i cannot found a logo history. -- Sergey kudryavtsev 12:37, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Explicit image showing a clitoris without EXIF data. Looks more like a cropped porn image to me. So in the end: Most probably a copyvio. ALE! ¿…? 22:07, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - likely copyvio. In any event, Commons has plenty of clitoral images to illustrate articles that require them. WjBscribe 06:50, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment: at 759 × 611 pixels, the odds that this is a "cropped porn image" seem remote (unless there's a niche porn market for high-zoom shots which don't show up in Google searches, that is), given the zoom level. Nothing else in the uploaders' contribs history suggests he/she is lying about it being self-made, except for the lack of EXIF data and (slightly on the cynical side) few contributions overall. Dunno about this one - it could have been cropped slightly in a simple program, hence the lack of EXIF data. Daniel (talk) 06:54, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've deleted two uploads by the same person that contained no license info and had absurdly long titles that make me suspect their intention is disruptive. I take your point about size, but would point out that even aside from the copyvio, we have enough genetalia illustrations to be selective about what we keep. WjBscribe 06:58, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • A very good point about being selective (per Riana), and the deleted uploads are also interesting. I'll take your word that there is reason to suspect that this user may be acting disruptively with regard to the deleted title names, and agree with the fact there's no shortage of these types of images so we can be picky from a sourcing sense. Delete. Daniel (talk) 07:00, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

From my experience with photography at sports events, this would need to be taken by a professional sitting in a media-allocated area on the grassed area, with a full-blown professional scope. Couldn't find anything with a quick check of Google, but still, no source information plus looks like a professional photo should mean delete. Daniel (talk) 06:43, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • It's up to the uploader to provide evidence, if not proof, that the image is copyright free. The fact that it's a reduced and/or cropped image without any EXIF data, in addition to the graininess and the blue-ish tint that raises the possibility that it could be a TV screengrab, should be a red flag. --Ytoyoda 06:11, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

and Image:Monument 2 Bronnaya Gora, Belarus.jpg.

No Commons:Freedom of panorama in Belarus. According to this article monuments were installed in 1994. --EugeneZelenko 15:54, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I can't see the point. This would mean, that it's illegal to publish any pictures from Belarus'. Sorry, but I think this deletion request is big bullshit combined with in-advance-subjunction under non-existing censorship. --C.G. 14:58, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Monuments are main subject of these images. Article 19 of copyrights law of Belarus doesn't allow to use such images commercially without author consent. If you have sculptor permission, please send it to Commons:OTRS, otherwise licensing these images under {{CC-BY-SA-2.5}} is sculptor's copyryghts violations. --EugeneZelenko 15:37, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I admit that I never ever read anything on Belarussian copyright, would be glad if you could make this Article 19 available. But still I can't see the point. Even if you're right with the article, it's impossible to read the inscription on the photo or watch details of the monument. The photo shows the monument in the context of forest and the square, additionally it gives an impression of wreaths and flags people left. The same concerns the second image. So, don't be even more papist than the Pope. By the way: What is a monument for if not to be seen? Hardly anyone is able to go to that place! So it should be logical to have these pictures in the Commons. But may be that's the point? There are certainly people who would like to make people forget about this history. --C.G. 14:56, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Again: monuments are main subjects or images.
Please read Commons:Licensing carefully. Belarus is not single country which have such unpleasant restrictions. Similar restrictions exists in almost all ex-USSR countries, USA, Italy, Denmark, France and many other countries (see Commons:Freedom of panorama). If you don't like this restrictions, please organize compains or lobby parliaments of these countries to introduce changes in laws which will allow freedom of panorama. Until laws will changes, you must obey existing ones. --EugeneZelenko 16:46, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Zhenja, I've done some reading on the matters and had to learn that – unfortunately – you are right concerning Image:Monument 1 Bronnaya Gora, Belarus.jpg. This legislation is of course absolutely stupid and usually I avoid obeying stupid laws. But policies in Commons differ somewhat from my. The horrible thing about it is that we have to delete nearly everything in the categories Monuments in Belarus, Buildings in Belarus, but the same (and even worse) in Ukraine (where I'm currently living), Italy... Concerning Belarus it's not only the legislation, it's also the Commons politics that make it impossible to use those photos: If it would be possible to license files under the terms of „no commercial use“ we could use at least pictures of Belarussian monuments etc. May be one should reopen the discussion on that topic? It would be much easier to change them than several national laws... When I told my students about the legal situation they asked me how one can inform the people of the world about Ukraine, if it's virtually impossible to show something else than nature.

Concerning Image:Monument 2 Bronnaya Gora, Belarus.jpg I would argue that a) this tombstone-like thing hardly reaches threshold of originality and the „artist“ parts of the stone (upper part) are hardly recognizable and b) this stone is shown in the context of the territory (flowers, fence, forrest, meadow). Regards ---C.G. 10:51, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would try out and wait if there is some official request for the deletion of the pictures because of this strange copyright laws. By the way - how would you react if China would set all pictures of tibetian monks under chinese copyright restrictions? --84.173.114.180 20:08, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

no reason to think the illustrator died over 70 years ago, as claimed Calliopejen 23:01, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • It is anonymous artwork, and PD from 2006 after Danish law.
  • It is from a periodical and PD from 1986 after Danish law.
  • Images from Danish source is PD if the owner do not demand a copyright. And if a owner demand a copyright, you can remove the image, and the owner can not summons you.

--haabet 08:21, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

How do you know it was anonymous? just because you don't know the illustrator doesn't mean it was anonymous. can you refer to a link or a template justifying your interpretation of Danish law. Currently the template for PD-Denmark redirects to a template saying it is PD only if the author died 70 years ago. Calliopejen 22:44, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, the template even mentions "fair use" provisions (Citatret). And finally, for "simple photographs", there is {{PD-Denmark50}}. Not that that applied here.

Image:Shroud of Turin 001.jpg

edit

The shroud as such is in the PD, but it is unlikely that the site quoted as the source owns the copyright on the pictures. --User:G.dallorto 19:00, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please explain how this is different from any other pd-old? -Nard 00:33, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Given the conditions of the "shroud" (fading above all, plus yellowing, plus the damage suffered in the fire), special techniques must be used to photograph it, given its low contrast. This is not a thing you can photograph with your pocket Sony of with your mobile camera. The situation is similar to that of a medieval manuscript that has to be photographed under special conditions, on which copyright from the photographer is allowed even if the manuscript is patently in the PD. Furthermore, the object is not on display, it is kept, folded, within a (silver) box, therefore photographing it can be done only upon by appointment with the owners. Since the object is a private property, the owner has the right to put contract conditions on photographing it. Therefore to be sure the image sis FREE from rights from third parties we need to know who the photographer is. --User:G.dallorto 01:29, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Comment This discussion should only answer the question, if this image is PD just like the object itself or not. The question of private property is not an issue as long as we don't know if there's something like a "right to the image of ones's property" in Italy. (I doubt so.) Usually no one cares about this question here, otherwise we would have to delete thousands of images taken in museums, galleries etc. I'm sure we went through that already in the past. --194.48.128.75 14:24, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • I TOTALLY agree with you. And until we know who shot the image, we can't know whether it is in the PD or not. The image was shoplifted from a Russian website. Did this site own the right to publish it in the first place or not? Who shot the image? As you may notice, there is no hint about its authorship in the description. You may not simply go around taking images from the web and assuming they are in the PD merely for the fact of being on the web. We need to know who shot the picture, or otherwise discard this very shot. C'mon, I am not asking a difficult question.
        • BTW, if I own an object which is in the PD and I allow you to shoot it under a contractual agreement that you may not publish these images, the contract stands. It is true that the value of this contract for third parties is questionable, since it only binds me and you, and if you disregard it, it is you that I shall sue for compensation and damages, not to the third parties infringing it after you infringed it for the first time; nevertheless the question of private property is of some importance, in this case. Which is our case. The Curia might have sold exclusivity rights to someone. The only way to be sure about the fact that these images are FREE for ANY use, as requested by our policy, is knowing who shot them. Fullstop. --User:G.dallorto 15:23, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Unless photographer's rights are claimed, there's no reason to think this isn't PD. If there was some contract involved, we're not the ones that broke it. And neither are any future users. If something is PD then it's PD. Just because you own a famous painting or something doesn't mean you own the copyright. That's why people make those kind of contracts, because the law gives them no control over it through a copyright. Rocket000 05:33, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete "PD-art" concept is not applicable in this case, afaik the "work of art" is always been in Italy, and no "PD-art" concept for Italian law (before 20 years). The photographic reproduction may be copyrighted.--Trixt 02:17, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Making a decent picture of the Shroud maybe difficult, as User:G.dallorto explains above, but "The Supreme Court of the United States has explicitly rejected difficulty of labor or expense as a consideration in copyrightability in Feist v. Rural." (see [136]). And since the copyright of the creator of the Shroud has certainly expired, it's PD.  Channel ®   21:01, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    You should consider that photo has been probably created in Italy, not in USA. Per Commons:Licensing, Commons accepts only media that are in the public domain in at least the United States and in the source country of the work.--Trixt 23:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Italy doesn't appear to have a specific PD-art law. So therefore all other images of works of art that are now in (or have been photographed in) Italy should go as well? Nah, that doesn't add up.  Channel ®   09:26, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
More information is needed about how Italian law handles this type of image. I have asked Lupo if he knows of anything. --MichaelMaggs 17:35, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I am not revoking licenses, just requesting that the images that I have created and uploaded be speedily deleted. If someone has downloaded them and wants to reupload that is OK I guess. There is a precedent that grants people the deletion of images that they have uploaded and I request the same courtesy.

pd-art license cannot apply to 3d object -Nard 21:25, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think I'm going to let anyone use the images I've spent my life creating, just so anyone can use them at will? That makes no sense, I'm trying to contribute to the Wiki community where images are controlled. If my watermark doesn't splatter the image what would prevent another party from using the image? For instance, it is at a resolution good enough for a cell phone company to use it for wallpaper on a phone. What would prevent that? Help me to understand my images are still protected. Because if they're not, delete away. Jerry Avenaim 02:01, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Read Commons:Licensing; if you don't want your images to be used outside of Wikimedia projects, don't upload them here. We want people to reuse images from the Commons (as long as they respect the terms of the licenses etc etc). I can fully understand why you, as a professional photographer, would not. But the rules here are what they are.

(talk, contribs, en.wp) 04:53, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(reset) Mr. Avenaim, thank you for your wonderful contributions. There are some really good photographers on Commons, and more are always welcome. We understand your confusion. By licensing images with a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license, you are allowing it to be used for any end, including commercial ones, and also the production of derivative works. This is a good thing for Wikimedia projects such as Wikipedia, but not limited to them. These "free licenses" allow us to make educational contents that is easy to redistribute and use. You have uploaded quite small resolution photos, and indeed the could be used for certain small commercial resolution ends, as you pointed out, but I do believe companies prefer high resolution pictures (I'm not an expert on that field, so I can't tell for sure). However, whichever is your decision, it will be respected, as Lewis said. Regards, Patrícia msg 17:10, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lewis, Patricia, Adam and the others that have allowed me the time to give this decision much needed thought. I have changed the permission on all the images (up for deletion) except the Halle Berry (I can not take the chance of devaluating the Halle berry image). Please lift the deletion request on all images. However, I am sad to say the raw Halle Berry (Halle_Berry.jpg) image must go. Now that I have a better understanding of how the commons works, I will be very careful in my image selections before uploading them. I hope I did it correctly... Thanks!

Delete your photo of the advertisement is only a derivative work of the copyrighted original photo. --ALE! ¿…? 15:17, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I toke the photo! ¿Where is the problem? I am the photographer and the designer. I don't understand you.

I didn't take a photo of and advert. I CREATED the advert, I have the originals in freehand format if you want to check it.

 Comment Well, the problem seems to have several aspects. The first one is if you really created the advert (I don't hesitate you're the author, but verbal claim is not enough). The second one relates to the copyright of the picture you're using as basis of the leaflet. Finally, who owns the copyright of the leaflet? You or ICV-EUiA? As you can see, it's not that simple. --Ecemaml talk to me/habla conmigo 23:22, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Der Fotograf des Bildes, Heinz Albers, sandte mir am 08.01.2008 zu diesem Bild folgende Mail: "Hallo, Herr Münch, hier ist noch ein Bild vom 1. Zerstörergeschwader. Rechts Zerstörer 2, links Zerstörer 3. Fotografiert von mir von Z 1 auf dem Atlantik 1965. Sie können das Foto verwenden; die Rechte sind bei mir. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Heinz Albers" Genügt das oder muss ich noch einen unnötigen Büroktratenkram erledigen? --Milgesch 10:40, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Leider genügt das nicht. Herr Albers muss schon explizit einer freien Lizenz zustimmen. Es muss ihm klar sein, dass eine freie Lizenz nicht widerrufbar ist, und es auch Drittnutzern erlaubt, das Bild weiterzuverbreiten und auch für kommerzielle Zwecke zu verwenden. Die Freigabe wäre "nicht-exklusiv", d.h., er könnte nach wie vor das Bild selbst kommerziell nutzen (Lizenzierung an andere zu anderen Bedingungen.) Siehe auch Commons:Emailvorlagen.

The chance of being sued over any image is quasi null - until there's any money to be had. Then the copyright holder "discovers" the unlicensed use. Money driven entities like corporations or the estates of deceased architects take advantage of whatever rights the law gives them. Is anyone saying that FOP actually applies here or that we'd just like to ignore copyright and keep the images? --Simonxag 01:43, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well I do think FOP applies here. 1) I think this is part of the exceptions in France, 2) I still think (but want a confirmation) that FOP may apply to the place of publication (i.e. where Commons is hosted) and not where the photo is taken, because if it's the contrary it would mean that it's possible to publish a photo of an American modern building designed by a Frenchman in a French newspaper although the French law doesn't recognize FOP... which would seem ridiculous to me! --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 06:13, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This might be on point to the derivative issue: If I take a photograph of a kid who is holding a stuffed Winnie the Pooh toy, does Disney own the copyright in the photo since they own the Pooh design? If someone takes a photograph of a MacBook Air showing the iTunes Music Store on-screen, does <$corporation> own the copyright in the photo since they own the copyright to a small advertisement found on iTMS on that screen?

Delete again. A quote from the undeletion request: I discussed this matter with ABF (the deleting administrator), and he/she indicated that the deletion was based upon the argument by Rocket000 that "this is pretty much a screenshot of non-free software, which we delete." In fact, this isn't "pretty much a screenshot," as the clear purpose is to illustrate the computer, not to illustrate software. So based on either person's logic there (mine or David Levy's) the copyright material doesn't need to be there. Rocket000 19:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sculptural artwork - used inside a building. Protected by copyright. Deriv work. Megapixie 02:00, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, the artwork within the building is not protected by copyright law, upon completion ownership was transferred to the school and the school has since adopted a policy of free use, in essence there is no copyright held on the artwork. Under the terms of the senate agreement and acts (1991) attribution is not required since any artwork found in a public location within the school is to be presented by any means possible under any conditions, this include electronic copies with or without the schools knowledge. Theonlysilentbob 02:10, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm assuming this is this http://www.yorku.ca/web/about_yorku/ - their copyright page doesn't seem to mention any of this. Is this documented somewhere online (or could you upload a temporary scan of any documentation) so that we can verify this. I own DVDs, that doesn't mean that I can upload them to the internet. Megapixie 02:32, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The copyright issues listed on that web page deal with educational issues governing CanCopy, institutions in Canada once upon a time were able to copy everything and anything until CanCopy limited the amount of copyable material to 10% of a work. After the 10% threshold is crossed a royalty fee must be paid. In short, that governs access copyright but the school has a senate resolution which I don't see on their website governing actual artworks which have been donated to the school. If need be I will grab a copy. Whatever the case, I don't think the University really even cares anymore. Theonlysilentbob 05:14, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Lack of artistic quality or "I don't call that art" is irrelevant: the copyright on John Cage's use of silence has (in)famously been upheld. Also the opinion of the school is irrelevant: the copyright belongs to the artist not the owner of the artwork. --Simonxag 22:07, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep There is no official "author" of the artwork, the author is anonymous and probably did that with the greatest intention to remove credit from him/herself and the artwork was "donated" to the school in order to be placed on exhibit. In this case the school is the only possible entity that can claim copyright, the issue of inalienable or "moral" copyright cannot apply in this case because the author is unknown and will remain unknown. Thus in legal standing the author no longer has any rights to the work, at least not under Canadian law unless it was somehow possible to prove who the author was and then have them claim the work as theirs which simply is not going to happen. Going back to the first argument, the schools free use/echibit policy exempts it from traditional copyright. Theonlysilentbob 01:44, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. per Megapixie. Clearly a copyright work of art, and if the artist really did transfer copyright to the school that should be proved by means of an OTRS ticket. The argument to keep essentially rests on no more than an allegation that the school now owns the copyright (unproved) and that they will not mind (ditto).

Right.... So a photographer takes a professional lit 100 pixel shot of a supermodel. Compresses it to crap. And then uploads it to wikipedia. You can either trust me.

My mail

Hello Mellemgaard,

I am doing a small update for the bio about Brian Roland Larsen at Wikipedia.

I have written the text there is about him but was wondering if I could use the picture of the author and the 4 pictures of the books that are at your website (the 4 cover pictures at this site http://www.mellemgaard.dk/group.asp?group=19&sub=19) Since I think the bio need to more flesh added to it.

Regards

René Krøll The reply

You can use the pictures.

Regards Kaj

Team mellemgaard.dk

So as you can see, I am allowed to use all the 5 pictures, and knowing the publisher I am allowed to use the 5 book cover image when the 5th book hits the shops in the spring 2008.

So please stop deleting the image!!!

Dear René Krøll, as you can read on this page, the statement: "You can use the pictures" is too ambiguous and doesn't specify "Kaj" as the sole holder of the rights to the picture or which license he approves. On that page, you will also find an email-template, you could use to obtain a valid permission. We would like very much to keep the picture, but the international licensing rules have to be followed.

Delete This is not a picture of a container, this is a picture of the artwork on a container. The artwork is copyrighted by the company that produced it. So your photograph is derived (a derivative) from a copyrighted work. Is there permission from the original copyright holder? No. So this is a copyright violation (a copyvio in the local slang) and has to be deleted. If the picture was of the container, it might have been OK, but only if the artwork was incidental to the picture, like a photo of a kid who happens to be wearing a Mickey Mouse teeshirt. --Simonxag 20:38, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • You could tell that it was scanned even without the metadata, since greyish-white areas are visible at the corners where the original photo was slightly tilted. But I don't see anything necessarily suspicious about it -- and the book-cover thing is a non-issue, since the book takes up a small area of the photo and is being commented on (and the cover consists mainly of generic-font text on a plain single-color background anyway...).

(It would've helped if the user who's requested deletion had already asked himself...) As for the picture, it's been said before: Scanning does not imply the original is someone else's work. I still don't own a digital camera. Regarding the book cover, "voting" for or against it does not get us anywhere. Either those among us who know a bit more about copyright suggest that it is or that it isn't protected.

Hi. I’m the author of the original photo. I scanned it because it is not a digital one. I think that the photo could be used in many articles: feminism, sociology, Bourdieu, irony, etc. I can understand that SOME people do not like it, but some other do (some feminists as well). The photo shows a woman reading a book written by a famous man. The girl is free of accepting or not Bourdieu’s arguments about women rights and the use of woman’s body. It is not an irony against Bourdieu, it is an argument about women freedom. She is naked, it is true, but why is that a problem? If pornography stigmatizes women, this photo evocates -on the opposite- both the beauty and the intelligence of women. If the sculpture "The Thinker" by Rodin is a naked man philosophizing, why not a photo about a naked woman reading? I also asked a very good copyright lawyer and he told me the photo is perfectly ok from the legal point of view. At the same time, I do not have the time to start a crusade in defense of my photo, so I will respect your decision. Maurice Marcellin 00:06, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually could you re-upload a better scan of the picture? (especially because it's tilted) --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 15:21, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I will as soon as possible (I do not have my own scanner). Ciao. Maurice Marcellin 16:17, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kept. For one, the argument "it was scanned" is nonsense. Photography existed before the digital era, and it still does (you can go delete a few of my images if you would like to differ).

Moreover, it's not clear that the cover is even eligible for copyright; if it is, then the inclusion of the book is largely incidental; the primary focus is not the artistic nature of the book cover, it is the fact that there is a naked woman who happens to be reading this book. Angr, despite wanting deletion, actually supports my view here. Indeed, the very fact that this could not be used to illustrate an article about the book (unless, of course, this photo became famous as a parody...) shows that this is not a derivative work.

Keep Below, a transcription of a Ecemaml request for opinions as to how to proceed with regards to this image.

Hi all, I've found this image, Image:Catrinas 2.jpg which, BTW, is a featured picture and is being used in more than seventy wikipedias. The problem with the image is that its description states that it's a "Picture taken at the Museo de la Ciudad, Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico... a public place", that is, it has been taken inside a museum. However, according to COM:FOP#Mexico "Literary and artistic works already published may be used, provided that normal commercialization of the work is not affected, without auhorization from the copyrightholder and without remuneration, invariably citing the source and without altering the work, only in the following cases... VII. Reproduction, communication, and distribution by means of drawings, paintings, photographs, and audiovisual means of works visible from public places." I don't think that the inner of a museum can be described as a place "visible from public places". As it's a featured image and candidate to picture of the year, I didn't want to start a regular deletion request (although I'm definitely sure about its license being wrong). Do you have any suggestion on how to proceed? Should I open a regular deletion request? Should it be solved here? In other place? Best regards and many thanks in advance --Ecemaml talk to me/habla conmigo 22:11, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
I have an opinion... If you are definitely sure about it´s license being wrong, it is your duty, as administrator, in order to guard the interests of Wikipedia and within the scope of your responsibilities and obligations, to start a Deletion Request. Regards.--Tomascastelazo 03:08, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
True... Nothing we can do about it. File a deletion request. I also doubt its copyright status. Luckily the chance that this one will be closed before the end of the competition is zero ;) -- Bryan (talk to me) 11:09, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Retrieved from "http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Picture_of_the_Year/2007/Committee"'

He clearly states that he is “definitely sure about its license being wrong”, and due to the seriousness of the allegation, I propose, as creator of this image, that he come forward with the evidence to that effect, due to the fact that the image is widely used and represents a very important aspect in Mexican culture, and there are very few such images in Wikipedia. Therefore, its deletion would be highly disruptive to the 70 plus pages where it appears.

The Museum is a Government owned museum, a public place, and the picture was taken with the permission of the management of the museum, of an exhibit of the work or artisans about the Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico. These sculptures were unsigned, part of a wider arrangement (this is a detail), and no different than an arrangement found in public markets. So, since the picture was taken in a public place, with the permission of the authorties responsible, freedom of panorama applies. --Tomascastelazo 15:51, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    •  Comment Some remarks, Tomás:
      • You've been already warned about avoiding personal allusions, not taking a deletion request as something personal. Your allusion to Bryan ("... due to the seriousness of the allegation, I propose, as creator of this image, that he come forward with the evidence to that effect") is out of place and I should remember that it's up to the uploader to prove that the license is right and not the other way around. If Bryan has stated that he doubts about the copyright status of the image is clearly because he doesn't not think it's covered by the freedom of panorama.
      • "...the fact that the image is widely used and represents a very important aspect in Mexican culture, and there are very few such images in Wikipedia." Irrelevant argument. This concept is called fair use and it's explicitly forbidden in the Commons. More information in Commons:Licensing (BTW, it can be used in 70 or 700 wikipedias; it does not fix the licensing problem).
      • "The Museum is a Government owned museum". Yes, and? Is there any law in Mexico stating that the copyrights of the contents of a government-owned museum is in the public domain? Both know there isn't.
      • "the picture was taken with the permission of the management of the museum". Also irrelevant. Even if that's true (I have no evidence to take is as false) it cannot be proved, and what's more, it is not known whether the permission is to make a photo or to make a photo that can be freely commercialized and modified.
      • "These sculptures were unsigned". Irrelevant. According to the Berne Convention, copyright is automatic.
      • "the picture was taken in a public place". That's what has to be proven (and you haven't provided any argument to believe so). I don't think so just because in no place in the world the inner or a museum is considered a public place and therefore freedom of panorama is applicable.
    • And that's all. --Ecemaml talk to me/habla conmigo 16:55, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Regretfully, I think we have to delete this excellent picture. We don't know who the artist is and we have no indication that she or he wanted to release their work under a free licence. Haukurth 17:23, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Ecemaml,
In response to your comments:
1. That comment that I have been “warned” is, in my opinion, patronizing, and should be put in the context that resulted in me being blocked by you by what I consider an act of abuse of power and is being discussed in the appropiate forum, and to bring that discussion here is irrelevant. But if you want, I will gladly transcribe your conversations that you had with a member of the POTY committee that could have some intersesting implications as they relate to the art world and competitions, etc., so I suggest we leave that out of this discussion.
2. I was not “alluding” to Brian. I was refering to the allegation, you made, not him. And your allegation was: (although I'm definitely sure about its license being wrong). So the burden of proof rests upon you, not me. Prove what you stated publicly. If you already have proof, show it and proceed to the deletion. Simple.
3. For your information, and so nobody “attaches” any meaning to any words, I resort to the meaning exposed by Webster:
Allegation: Main Entry:
al•lege
Inflected Form(s):
al•leged; al•leg•ing
a) archaic : to adduce or bring forward as a source or authority
b) to assert without proof or before proving <the newspaper alleges the mayor's guilt>
c) to bring forward as a reason or excuse
4. A government owned museum is a public place and therefore freedom of panorama applies. Furthermore, the works in question are not being photographed in its entirety, only portions of them, and in any case, blank space predominates in the image area. Your arguments about being a public place, etc., etc., would set a dangerours argument for censoring countless images where copyrighted works appear as part of the landscape. Even worse, every single handcrafted object would be a candidate for deletion.
5. Are you a lawyer? Do you live in Mexico? Are you even an artist?
6. Well, I am not a lawyer. I do live in Mexico and I am an artist well versed in the practical application and reach of Mexican copyright law. I am a staunch defendant of copyrights.
7. If you propose to censor an image, I suggest that you lay out the argments based on legal fact and sound arguments and not mere “hunches” disguised as authoritative statements, (using your own words) "definitely sure about its license being wrong."
Oh, and below I reproduce the meaning of censor, lest it be thought that I am engaging in personal attacks. Definition by Webster:
Entry Word:
censor
Function:
verb
Synonyms clean (up), expurgate Related Words cleanse, purge, purify; abbreviate, edit, shorten; cut (out), delete, excise, expunge; repress, silence, suppress; censure, condemn, denounce; examine, review, screen, scrutinize
8. Also, you want me to “prove” that the picture was taken in a public place and that I haven´t provided any evidence (as you put it in your own words: That's what has to be proven (and you haven't provided any argument to believe so)). Imagine the burden this places on thousands and thousands of images in Wikipedia! Guilty before proven innocent. I have to provide to you evidence contrary to your belief in this Inquisition.
Inquisition: definition by Webster:
a) the act of inquiring : EXAMINATION
b) a judicial or official inquiry or examination usually before a jury; also : the finding of the jury
c) a former Roman Catholic tribunal for the discovery and punishment of heresy b: an investigation conducted with little regard for individual rights c: a severe questioning
9. And last, using your logic, the following image, and thousands and thousands like it would have to be censored because I doubt that this company would appreciate the use under certain circumstances their image. Image:Montinari Milano.jpg.
Regards, --Tomascastelazo 22:34, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tomás, I thought to remove your umpteenth mention to censorship, Inquisition (those nice guys who happened to burn people alive) and so on you use whenever someone dares to nominate one of your nice pictures for deletion (see here or here). You've been repeatedly warned avoid using personal attacks instead of simply sticking to the proposed question, so it's up to you to behave in a proper way or not (unless you aim to give us a self-fulfilling prophecy). As you know (regardless of the overwhelming amount of text you use to not answer the key question) the question is this: "Is the inner of a museum a public place according to Mexican law?" Yes or no?

As you say you're kind of expert on copyright in Mexico, you'll be happy to provide us with references on that statement. As I've previously said, it's you (the uploader) the one who has to prove the license is right, not the other way around. The picture is fantastic and I'd be quite happy to keep it (and not only that, if what you say is true, it would be possible to take photos of the works of any contemporary artist in a Mexican museum without worrying about copyright issues). We're waiting for the references that show the jurisprudence on considering the inner of a museum as a "public place". As you can understand, I have nothing to say on your repetitive tale on censorship, Inquisition and other unrelated questions. It's boring. Best regards --Ecemaml talk to me/habla conmigo 22:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC) PS: and sorry, the Catrina is the main and prominent element in the picture (otherwise, we'd not been talking about it)[reply]

Ecemaml, here we go again... just read a dictionary.... Inquisition is the act of Examining... Yes, the inside of a public place is a a public place. By the way, the catrinas fall in exactly the same category as your Image:Instrumento musical Tarija.jpg. They are artisan creations. Did you obtain permission from the creator? Was it taken in a public place?
So is this type of proof demanded and examined from everyone in every instance?
And thank you for reverting the censoring (same as editing) that you did a few minutes ago. --Tomascastelazo 23:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Again: which references you have stating that the inner of a museum is a public place according to the Mexican law? "Yes, the inside of a public place is a a public place" is not an explanation. Everything is as easy as answering such a question. --Ecemaml talk to me/habla conmigo 23:25, 21 January 2008 (UTC) PS: yes Image:Instrumento musical Tarija.jpg belonged to the same category. It was uploaded by me in 2005 when I didn't know all what I know now. BTW are you reviewing all my contributions? ;-DDDDDDDDDDD Wasn't you said not to take a deletion request as something personal?[reply]

Ecemaml, just make it easy on all of us... You started this... You said you were: "definitely sure about its license being wrong", this is what started the argument. Just put forward the proof that makes you "definitely sure!" Since the beginning of the argument you have held the truth, why would you want me to contradict you with all this diatribe? Unless of course you want to read the ramblings of a fool. --Tomascastelazo 23:32, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To sum up, you can't prove that a museum it a public place according to Mexican law. Well, everything is clearer now. Best regards --Ecemaml talk to me/habla conmigo 23:36, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ecemaml, I have a better one... this is the Mexican Copyright Law...

Capítulo II De la Limitación a los Derechos Patrimoniales Artículo 148.- Las obras literarias y artísticas ya divulgadas podrán utilizarse, siempre que no se afecte la explotación normal de la obra, sin autorización del titular del derecho patrimonial y sin remuneración, citando invariablemente la fuente y sin alterar la obra, sólo en los siguientes casos: II. Reproducción de artículos, fotografías, ilustraciones y comentarios referentes a acontecimientos de actualidad, publicados por la prensa o difundidos por la radio o la televisión, o cualquier otro medio de difusión, si esto no hubiere sido expresamente prohibido por el titular del derecho;

Capítulo III Del Dominio Público Artículo 153.- Es libre el uso de la obra de un autor anónimo mientras el mismo no se dé a conocer o no exista un titular de derechos patrimoniales identificado.

And were is your "definite sure the license being wrong?" --Tomascastelazo 23:59, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    •  Comment Yes, I'm definitely sure about the license being wrong from the arguments you provided in your description of the picture. I remember that the description states that it was took into a museum, a public place. That's a FOP argumentation, something I go on disputing because of two reason: a) no similar provisos in similar FOP articles in intellectual property legislation all over the world; and b) if the Mexican law allowed such an interpretation, it would be widely known (since it would be the first law in the world that allow photographs of contemporary works inside museums to be in the public domain). Now, you pull a rabbit out of hat mentioning a totally different proviso in the Mexican law that you hadn't mentioned, neither in the description of the photo nor in your initial argumentation. Fine, I'm very glad to have arguments to keep the picture in commons. (but of course, it would have prevented you from playing the role of young and innocent artist being censored by an evil administrator ;-) it stinks). --Ecemaml talk to me/habla conmigo 15:21, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It says that the work may be freely used if the author is unknown. But that still does not prove that the insides of a museum are a public place, which is Tomas's main argument for keeping the image. --Boricuæddie 00:26, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rocket000,

Public Domain: Article 153. The use of the work is free from an anonymous author if the author himself does not make himself known or if there is no owner identified of the patrimonial rights.

That means that this photograph, of an object whose author is not known, taken in a public place, advertised, promoted, and in which no author or owner of rights came forward, is fair game.

These people want to delete the images because I cannot come out with a document or evidence, that state that photographs of images in public places are public domain. This picture is fair game according to Mexican copyright law. --Tomascastelazo 00:44, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note also that the cited Article 153 does not seem even to require us to resolve the contentious question of whether the inside of the museum is "public". - Jmabel | talk 01:04, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Closer to a verbatim translation:
Chapter II
Of the Limitation to Patrimonial Rights
Article 148.- Literary and artistic works already divulged can be used, as long as they do not affect the normal exploitation of the work, without authorization of the title-holder of the patrimonial right and without remuneration, citing invariably the source and without altering the work, only in the following cases:
II. Reproduction of articles, photographs, ilustrations and referent commentaries a acontecimientos de actualidad [not sure what to make of that: "to present-day accounts?" - Jmabel], published by the press or distributed by radio or television, or whatever other medium of distribution, if this not having been expressly prohibited by the titleholder of the right; [I don't seen how this part has bearing - Jmabel]

Chapter III
Of the Public Domain
Article 153.- The use of the work of an anonymous author is free while that author does not make him/herself known or there does not exist an identified titleholder of patrimonial rights.

Feel free to edit the above if you can improve my translation; my Spanish is quite decent, but far short of native. - Jmabel | talk 01:16, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • II is for fair use, you can reprint articles of acontecimientos de acualidad (current affairs) in your own publication, but this is a far cry from the Commons requirement of "free for any use". Article 153 is interesting though. -Nard 02:02, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete {{Derivative}}, unless uploader can get permission from the museum and the original author of the statuettes. By the way: the censorship/inquisition tale is badly worn out theses days. How many times does Tomascastelazo think he can disrupt Commons before got blocked again? --Dodo 08:11, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep --It is said these statuettes were made by an artisan (note : not an artist) so imo it's not an artistic work. I don't see the difference between this one and images of other artisan-created objects (because this one has only a decorative purpose ?), for example music instruments (like Image:5_string_electric_violin.jpg or Image:Stroh_violin_right.jpg) or furnitures (like Image:Mezzadro_1957.jpg or Image:Rietveld_chair_1.JPG designed by Gerrit Rietveld – died in 1964 – ), etc. Sting 13:05, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- per Sting. I also think artisan is a keyword here. Lycaon 15:06, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Well, I think you are mistakenly considering who the author is and not which the object is. Being an artisan or an artist (who distinguished between both? You? Are the picture in Commons from artists, artisans or none of them?). The object you're mentioning are kept because of being more or less an "object of daily use", as COM:DW states. I don't think a catrina is an object of daily use and definitely, artisan or artist, is an artwork. The keyword here seems to be "anonymous" and not "artisan" --Ecemaml talk to me/habla conmigo 15:21, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Precedents and Public Policy in Mexico with regard to the definition of a Public Place

  •  Comment This is from the Interior Ministry of Mexico and one of its departments, the National Institute for Federalism and Municipal Development. The Interior Ministry is responsible for among many things, the establishment of criteria and regulations that that have to deal with the governance of Mexico. Its decisions and opinions are considered the official posturo of the Mexican Government. Many States and municipalities in turn take as a model the rules and regulations and apply them to their own public policy processes. In short, they are utilized as precedentes where there are legal voids or lack of adequate reglamentations.
Chapter VIII
… It is understood as a public place every space of common use and free transit, including plazas, markets and shows or events of leisure or recreation, as well as public transports.
A public museum is a place that provides leisure and recreation, as well as being a public place by the fact that is government owned. All government owned buildngs and infrastructure are considered public place.
This is from Mexico City´s Regulations
Article VIII. Public place: every enclosed place that the public in general have access to, either by invitation or pay.
So the questions as to if a Museum is a public place, there are legal precedents in Mexico to characterize it as such, (and “freedom of panorama”, which by the way is a legally non existent term in Mexico and many countries, if it existed, it would be applicable), secondly, the statues themselves were part of a collective annonimous exhibition of folk art, and according to Mexican copyright law cited above, fair use. Both issues are clear.
Now, the Catrina itself depicted here is a derivative work anyway of Jose Guadalupe Posada, dead, who invented the physonomy, and catrinas are made by thousands and thousands of artisans and are sold in thousands and thousands of markets in Mexico. Setting the precedent of qualifying and artisan object as a work of art (which may be) for copyright considerations would be very detrimental to uploading important photographs of objects that illustrate important cultural elements in every culture, and it would have to start a revision of every single object photographed in Commons. A monumental task of editing. Think of Santa Clauss... It is a generic figure.

Ecemaml: I am still waiting for your "definitely sure about its license being wrong"

--Tomascastelazo 16:02, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Under the assumption that COM:FOP is correct, this image is to be kept:

  • According to COM:FOP#Public places a public place in Mexico also includes publicly accessible interiors.
  • According to COM:FOP#Mexico freedom of panorama applies for artistic works visible from public places.

I see no obligation for Tomascastelazo to prove anything that is already stated in our policies. IMHO, any doubts regarding these claims in COM:FOP should be discussed there first. --AFBorchert 18:10, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyrighted Press/media image mislabeled on Flickr, Copyright by World Economic Forum swiss-image.ch/Photo by E.T. Studhalter. swiss-image.ch appears to be a Getty / AP / UPI type organization. E.T. Studhalter appears to be a professional press photographer and the Flickr page states No resale, no archive. It appears that the Flickr uploader has mistakenly marked it as CC.

  • Keep. The Flickr uploader is the copyright holder. The picture was taken at the World Economic Forum, it says in the image description that the copyright is held by the WEF and it appears in the WEF's official Flickr photostream. They seem to have recently changed the license on almost all their photos to CC-BY-SA, having previously been all rights reserved. I can only assume that swiss-image.ch (the Getty / AP / UPI type organization) are contracted by the WEF to provide photography from their events, but it clearly states that the WEF holds the copyright and it was they who set the license restrictions on Flickr.

  • Keep : as you don't seem to know, those pictures where put on Flickr to be uploaded on Commons!

  • I've left a message on the flickr page, asking for clarification. It does appear to be pretty high quality; I would venture it's probably live, but it's possible with high-tech screens to get a good image anyway. Patstuart (talk) 00:02, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot see any reason why this photo should be deleted. That this is a TV screenshot seems most unlikely, given the other photos this user uploaded to flickr, from the same concert in Switzerland. The license seems valid enough to me. No need for copyright paranoia here. The difference in quality could, e. g., simply come from the fact that the user edited the photo, zoomed and cropped, hence lost a lot of resolution. Happens to me all the time. --AndreasPraefcke 19:01, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted If you look through the other images in the set on Flickr you'll note that all the others have been taken on a mobile phone apart from one other which most certainly isn't taken by the uploader. I'd also note that the images show the people being some way back in the crowd not up near the front where you'd have a chance of getting an image like this. It seems obvious based upon these points that it is highly likely a copyright violation. Adambro 19:39, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote the rationale for this image on en.wiki, back when I was first treading the waters of copyright law on Wikimedia projects. I am not sure it is free enough for Commons. -Nard 17:31, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment An original photo of an automobile free licenced by the photographer-- that part seems fine. Is the custom paint job visible on the van a copyrighted work that the photo is violating? If so, image doesn't belong on Commons; move the image back to en:Wikipedia. If not, remove the "fair use" argument from the image description on Commons. -- Infrogmation 04:36, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Primary source/original author is missing, thus not possible to determine the copyright status nor that the first publishing was in Poland. Another reason: without knowing the author the associated date it may be wrong,too. Denniss 15:01, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Author is anonymous one ( till today for almost 70 years haven't disclosed his identity) - maybe he was one of ca 6.000.000 victims of World War II in Poland (Jewish and Polish).

Such way photo was made by unknown author, and first published in Poland. According to Berne Covention Art. 5. [149] the place of first publishing resolves the question of law, which should be in effect towards the photo. It is not a matter of nationality or citizenship of an unknown author. The question is resolved by the place of publication ( Poland). The rest is described in template in detail.

The USHMM no longer claims that the image is in the public domain. It now only says "Copyright: USHMM". Kam Solusar 19:50, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So, why did you open this deletion request? Doesn't that just mean that the copyright tagging should be changed...just change it accordingly and leave the image. - Zarbon 21:59, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Not sure now - but if the USHMM ever released it under a PD license, surely we don't have to change anything? Released=released? -- Deadstar (msg) 09:15, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Correct. But the difficulty is in knowing whether this is the case. First, the image was incorrectly tagged right from the start, which raises concerns all by itself. Secondly, unless someone finds a copy of the original page in the Internet Archive or whatever (and to Zarbon: this is why you should always note the precise page on a site that an image came from, it greatly increases the chances that we will be able to find out whether a license was ever valid), we have no way of proving that the "release" ever happened. Furthermore, it's unlikely that the USHMM ever held the copyright on these photos in order to release it. Obviously there wouldn't have been a Holocaust memorial museum in 1933, and the USHMM (as with pretty much every other site on the Internet) don't seem to be as stringent about sourcing and copyrights as we are. Failing any evidence that they released it PD, and that they were ever assigned the copyright in the first place, I say Delete unless we can claim this as an anonymous work (therefore publication + 70 years). Lewis Collard! (talk, contribs, en.wp) 11:17, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
From what I remember, many WW2 images on the USHMM website were stated to be PD but deletion request discussions showed that those claims were unfounded or not verifiable. They later changed the PD-status of the images to "Copyright: USHMM", but in many cases there's still no information as to why they think they own the copyrights. --Kam Solusar 05:17, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DeleteThey haven't changed all of their images to Copyright: USHMM, some are still PD (e.g. [151]). What I think happened is that they got told of for claiming things were PD without any proof so now they are limiting that claim to US gov images and images where they might have been given the rights. /Lokal_Profil 18:00, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is the Romanian law - in Art. 7 it was stated that the rights for photografs stand for 10 years only from the date of the creation of the photo` this is true for photoes that were created before the year of the law, 1956. Thank you! Arie Inbar 19:28, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The law can't be imposed retroactively. Any work that was released into the public domain, cannot be returned to copyrighted status. Arie Inbar 17:02, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, unfortunately that is possible. --ALE! ¿…? 09:15, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That seems highly unlikely, and in fact contradicts the way laws are carried out. If that would be so, someone who used public domain photos (for instance) in a book, would suddenly be guilty of a civil offense.
Such a claim requires evidence, both for the general claim (that it can be done), and for the specific claim (what Romania did or didn't do). Okedem 17:20, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have also tried to find a NASA source for this image, searching all the databases etc. I too can not with certainty say that the image originated from NASA. If it is from NASA, then most likely it was on their shuttle main newspage, which is often not properly archived and thus has a tendency to be totally useless as a source :( TheDJ 20:11, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete due to not having a reliably verifiable source, thus unknown copyright and content. The things which look wrong in the image (aurora over the Amazon during a Shuttle flight under the clouds when the Sun was in the wrong position in the sky) would make it a historic image if its origin from a Shuttle could be confirmed. Make this one go away. -- SEWilco 03:55, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The apparent NASA comment that "aurora ... in astronaut photographs are green in color, not bright blue" (see link above) seems curious, since I can immediately find several other images of blue (or at least bluish) aurora from space in Category:Polar aurora, including this one as well as this one actually showing the shuttle in the foreground (which looks very similar to this one; I'm not sure if they're different versions of the same image or just taken at the same time and place). Are these also fakes, or is aurora color from space variable after all? —Ilmari Karonen 04:14, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That very much depends on how the image was processed actually. The stars that in the background worry me most. In my opinion, with the clarity of the earth that is visible (clearly daylight), there should not even be any stars visible. So much reflected sunlight from the Earth would cause a short shutter time in which the stars simply are not visible. Only high exposure durations should show any stars. And if a photo like this does show stars, they are usually much more varying in size. In my opinion, this image is a photoshop. Perhaps still one by NASA, but I doubt it. It looks like someone set out to make a cool desktop picture for himself. Those two images you identified are not the same btw. Image:Aurora1 sts39.jpg is a low res scan from the late 90s. These were very basic, and almost no processing at ALL occurred on these. What came out the scanner was pretty much taken for granted. It is image STS039-342-026. Image:Aurora-SpaceShuttle-EO.jpg was processed by the Earth Observatory desk based on the original photograph. In this image the Shuttles thrusters are not firing. It is an image that was take just seconds later and is identified as STS039-342-028. They are VERY close, but not the same. TheDJ 22:11, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Works of governmental institutions a subject to copyright in Estonia. It's not like USA. --Raul6 20:19, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Pictures created/published before 12 December 1992 in Estonia are not protected by copyright according to the younger than 70 years rule! Please see a commentary at juridica.ee by Heiki Pisuke, Professor of Institute of Law, concerning the retroactivity of authors and related rights: The 1992 text of the Copyright Act did not provide a direct answer to the question of whether works created before the entry into force of the Act (12 December 1992) are also protected under copyright. The 1999 amendments make it clear: (§88) that such works are protected under copyright within the whole term of copyright which, as a rule, is the life of the author plus 50 years after his or her death. -related rights are protected during the entire term of protection (as a rule, for fifty years). --Termer 11:20, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note FYI: I've notified the nominator [153] that the procedure for deletion is not completed since the image has not being added onto the log. --Termer 07:12, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am confused. The copyright act mentions 70 years, but this professor mentions 50 years. Does he mean that before 1992 the rule was 50 years pma? -- Bryan (talk to me) 15:18, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • That seems is the case that retroactively they can only apply the 50 years rule according to the Bern convention. That seems also is in sync with neighboring Finland where it has been made clear in the law itself Template:PD-Finland50.--Termer 20:48, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • That doesn't make sense to me. {{PD-Finland50}} has got nothing to do with retroactivity or the Berne Convention. It is about so-called "simple photographs", i.e., photos that are not deemed to be "works". For Finnish photos that are works, life+70 applies. (In fact, such Finnish "simple photos" may well be copyrighted in other countries to life+70, if they're treated as "works" there. But that's another discussion...) Estonian copyright law does not have the concept of "simple photographs".
    • Pisuke's paper dates to 1999. I would think that the 1992 law had a term of life+50, and that in 1999, when that paper was written, Estonia still had a term of life+50. In 2004, Estonia joined the EU. To do so, it had to extend its copyright term to life+70, so the extension must have happened between 1999 and 2004. Estonia has also implemented EU directive 93/98/EEC (see the most recent Estonian copyright law (amendments up to 2006), at the very end). This directive made the extension to life+70 also apply to works on which the previous 50-year term had already expired, if the works were still copyrighted in any other EU country. Since other EU countries have had a term of life+70 since the mid-1990s, and Estonia had joined the Berne Convention in 1994[154], this Estonian photograph was subject to a life+70 regime in the other EU countries, and thus it is subject to life+70 today in Estonia. Lupo 22:13, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • The crucial question is therefore who was "Parikas" (stated as the author)? When did he die? Lupo 22:13, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Was it Georg Johann Parikas or Peeter Parikas? Some info is here (in Estonian). I can't read this language, but my guess is that Georg Johann lived Oct. 30, 1880 - Oct. 22, 1958, and Peeter lived April 16, 1889 - July 6, 1972. If that's right, the case is moot: the photo is copyrighted. Lupo 22:19, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I have to admit that Lupo has brought forward some valid points here. The commentary by the professor above appears to be outdated indeed since Estonia had joined the EU in 2004, and therefore the authors rights that include economical rights meaning copyright in this case life+70 according to the general EU rules should apply. Also, the photo seems has been taken by the Parikas brothers who owned a shop together at the time. Considering this as a collective work and that the last brother died in 1972...the conclusion, this has been my mistake, the image is not free, authors rights including copyright are still valid. Therefore please delete the image from commons. Thanks!--Termer 05:04, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, as I was saying. :) First, since the flag is only temporary and likely to change some time in the future, this image should be left where it is. This gives a way for projects which use this flag to refer to the current version of the flag in a non-time-dependent way (i.e. "This is the flag that was adopted in 2008..."). Secondly, since "Flag of X" pictures should always refer to the most current version of a flag, overwrite Image:Flag of Iraq.svg with the new one. Move the old one as Hoshie has suggested. After doing that, we should also have a note on Image:Flag of Iraq.svg that anyone wanting to refer to the 2008 version of the flag in a non-time-dependent way should link to Image:Flag of Iraq 2008.svg instead. Gimme a few minutes and I'll take care of this. Lewis Collard! (talk, contribs, en.wp) 10:00, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Images by Optimus07

edit

After I commented on the use of a rather peculiar range of cameras for supposedly self-made photographs, Optimus07 (talk • contribs) acknowledged that he or she has uploaded several images with claims of being the copyright holder in spite of the photographs having been taken by other people. More than a week later, the user has not identified exactly which images were taken by others or provided any permission information. Since then, the user has also been caught uploading copyright violations from Marcus Grönholm's official website and others. Messages about this were simply blanked.

Group 1: According to the user, the authorship claims are true for photos taken in Argentina, except for those of the service park. I'm guessing that means these:

Group 2:I'm unsure about the location of these (and hence whether they fall under the claim that photos from Argentina are correctly attributed):

Group 3: These ones depict the Argentinian service park and were taken by someone else, according to the uploader:

Group 4: These ones were taken outside Argentina and were taken by someone else, according to the uploader:

It seems deletion is in order at least for groups 3 and 4 as identified above, but I'm not comfortable with the unknown status of group 2 given the uploaders record, and I would really like to see a clearer assertion even for group 1 if they are to be kept.

Notice

This should finish the discussion once and for all. Sent an e-mail to VI asking: 

Hi
Acording to the page http://vector-images.com/about.php under the heading "Copyright & disclaimer" it says that:
"Raster preview images in GIF or PNG format of Vector-Images.com can be freely used on other web sites or any 
media for any purposes with quote to Vector-Images.com (link to www.vector-images.com) only. "
I was just wondering what is meant by "freely used". Does this mean that if I trace the raster preview images
into vector format I'm allowed to sell it?

The reply that I got was: 

Thank you for your e-mail and interest in our services.
We do not allow to resell our images in any way. All the cliparts on our web server are copyrighted. We do not

So with "use freely" VI does not allow commercial use and limits derivative use hence not making this license free enough for Commons. /Lokal_Profil 22:34, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, this means this discussion is no longer about whether to delete this template and all images tagged with it. It is about the best way to proceed with this. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 12:57, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraph 1.1.1 in their term of use states: "For the purpose of this Agreement, "Licensed Material" shall mean any illustration, visual representation or other product protected by copyright, trademark, patent or other intellectual property rights, which is delivered in any format to Licensee by Licensor under the terms of this Agreement.", thus what states on the about page isn't really true. →AzaToth 22:58, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this and all images tagged with it. "Vector versions are not permitted" (as the tag says) is an unacceptable restriction. Two other unacceptable restrictions from the linked page:
"Licensee may not sell, license or distribute its work in such a way that Licensee's customer can extract or access the Licensed Material as a stand-alone file."
"You may modify and publish all images as you wish in any personal, commercial or professional project for decoration or illustration purposes even if you resell your work. You can not in any way make the images available for download or distribution, or give permission to download or save the images from your project as clipart or graphics."
Not good enough for Commons. Lewis Collard! (talk, contribs, en.wp) 23:05, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There has been deletion debates about this template before; each time there was, a Russian user has manage to come up with a solution by talking to the owners of the website. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 23:32, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I've never felt comfortable with the notion that we should be trusting a third party for our copyright decisions, rather than directly addressing the copyright holders for clarifications on their licenses. This situation is murky at best; did VI create all of them? Hard to know. But, I found this diff asserting VI stole images to be quite troubling indeed. I don't think we should necessarily delete these images, as there are a huge number of them, but perhaps we should make a special case for these; delete this template, put the images in a special category, and wait six months then delete any that have not been resolved as to their copyright status. Whatever trust I had in VI is now shattered. Further, their license agreement is more restrictive than we accept. In particular they do NOT want their images to be placed on "any other type of project that would encourage visitors to download or save images." Commons actively ENCOURAGES visitors to download, save, use, etc. images. This just doesn't work. We are talking about a lot of images, but we should have the courage to move forward, away from this highly problematic source. --Durin 00:09, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
DeleteAfter looking at the terms page and looking at the points Durin made, he makes a good suggestion. Yes, some of the images at the website are under a public domain license due to Russian law. Many of the images that might need deletion will occur from non CIS countries. We don't need to do this quickly, but I can understand the frustration that Durin expresses that dealing with this website is a hassle, especially with out ever increasing policies on "what is considered free" for Wikimedia. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 00:20, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment What is "considered free" on Commons is not "ever increasing". The restrictions given above would have been unacceptable right from the start. Lewis Collard! (talk, contribs, en.wp) 09:31, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I know their terms have been changing too, but what I tried to get at is almost each deletion debate with regards to this template in the past, there has been at least some change in what kind of images we accept on the Commons. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 15:42, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I have trouble believeing that VI wouldn't mind if I download a raster image from them, trace it into vector format and then sell it on my own competing webpage. If they explicitly say that thats acceptable then fine but I'm guessing that non of the questions to them has been that direct. As a sidecomment, yes they might not own the rights to all of their images but the same applies to every other wrongfully licensed user created derive work on Commons. Just like then we have to look at the image and ask ourselves does this license apply for this specific instance. /Lokal_Profil 01:00, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment You're right, they would mind; the terms explicitly say that "[y]ou can not in any way make the images available for download or distribution". Lewis Collard! (talk, contribs, en.wp) 09:31, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep From the first sentence of vector-images terms of use "When you purchase vector image from...". Template is about bitmap images. --EugeneZelenko 15:57, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • That might be a valid point; purchase vs. use of preview images. It's unclear from the terms exactly whether the terms explicitly apply to only purchase items or everything on the site, as the terms.php file is linked from the copyright statement at the bottom of the page. That aside, I'm still quite troubled by the evidence that VI has been stealing images. Allowing a third party that we know to be stealing images to be making decisions on copyright status of something is fraught with trouble. --Durin 18:51, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's true that this template relies on the statement: "Raster preview images in GIF or PNG format of Vector-Images.com can be freely used on other web sites or any media for any purposes with quote to Vector-Images.com (link to www.vector-images.com) only. Please read also our Terms of use." So parts of the Terms of Use might not apply. Still however I repeat that I think VI would mind I download a raster image from them, trace it into vector format and then sold it on my own competing webpage. And this is one of the freedoms that we require from images on Commons. /Lokal_Profil 19:14, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Keep, I think. The terms linked to here are only for the vector images which are downloaded (or anything else which becomes available after a user has explicitly agreed to the license, as 1.1.1 states); obviously we can't use those but that is not what the template is for. They may have a problem with others tracing one of the bitmap images, but they don't say that -- they say "any use", at least currently. These terms apply only to purchased vector images, or any other material which comes on purchased CDs. The making available of wikipedia material is troubling, but didn't they take it down once notified? If they get their material from uploaders, they are in the same situation as Commons, having to assume good faith unless shown otherwise. If they did not take it down, or if they themselves took it from Commons knowing it was a copyright violation, that would be much worse. Carl Lindberg 18:17, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Keep, we use bitmap, not vector images. --jed 23:39, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd like somebody who's voting to keep to explain why it's okay for us to delegate copyright decisions to a company that has stolen images from Wikipedia and passed them off as their own. Ipankonin 08:02, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • There are near 3000 images of Russian municipal insignia, uploaded by me. They are not stolen from Wikipedia. Maybe you should discuss individual images, not the template or company? --Panther 10:36, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • No, it's entirely appropriate to discuss the company. If the company has a record of stealing work from Wikimedia contributors (or anyone else) and claiming it as their own, then that's a damned good reason to mistrust any images that come from that site. That their license terms are confusing AND the tag explicitly forbids making vector versions of their raster images, which is a completely unacceptable restriction makes it worse. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 12:31, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • In same way as users of Commons content delegate copyright decisions on Commons community. What is the difference? Are number of errors in Commons (false licenses, derivative works, freedom of panorama violations, images without author info claimed to be in PD as anonymous work) significantly less then in case of Vector-Images? --EugeneZelenko 16:58, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's certainly appropriate to discuss, if it's a common occurrence. I'm not going to vote to delete over one mistake though; I'm usually more interested in how they handled the mistake. It sounds like they get (contract for?) artwork from many people around the globe. I assume they have to trust those people to deliver original artwork, legally derived... it is inevitable though that mistakes may be made from time to time. If one of those people was trying to get paid for your work, certainly that's not very cool, but I'm not sure you can blame vector-images management directly. It's also quite possible that that person mistakenly thought it was a PD license, made some tweaks to it, then called it his own. That's a bit more innocent, and happens all the time from people unfamiliar with copyright law. Commons itself is probably far worse in those types of mistakes, so it seems a little like the pot calling the kettle black to condemn all of vector-images over single mistakes. All Commons can do is fix any such situations as we become aware of them, and it sounds like that is what vector-images did in your case. In looking over some of their stuff, most of the items I've looked at seem original to me... their versions of U.S. Government symbols in general seem to be noticeably different than artwork available either here or on U.S. Government websites. For example, I have not found a vector version of the reverse of the Great Seal anywhere, but they have one. I'd hope that is original, as it has a mistake on the "Annuit Cœptis" inscription.
As for the license, it's pretty clear that it only is for the small-scale bitmap preview images, and the terms of use is for the vector and large-scale-bitmap versions which you pay for. The talk page indicates that using the small bitmap images to create our own vector versions is allowed; that was specifically asked before. It sounds like they are only concerned with making sure that someone does not download a vector version from their site then upload that (or a derived work) here, and the tag needs to make that explicit -- probably it could be worded better.
For an example of Commons licensing issues... there is this image, recently uploaded by Ipankonin. It was his own work combined with elements taken from four other SVGs, as it notes. Two of those SVGs are PD, but one is CC-BY-SA and the other is dual-licensed CC-BY-SA and GFDL. However, the final result was also multilicensed as CC-BY-SA and GFDL, which could be a problem. While the issue is being worked on, currently the two licenses are incompatible -- you can not relicense GFDL into CC-BY-SA, and going the other way is uncertain at best. So, saying that someone else's CC-BY-SA work can be used under the terms of the GFDL can be construed as a copyright violation (it can be CC-BY-SA in this case, but not both). Furthermore, the "Author" section does not credit the original authors, which it should to comply with CC-BY-SA, as they own part of the copyright on the derived work. Of course, it gets better... the phrygian cap was the only element taken from this image, which is the one dual-licensed. That in turn was a simple extraction from this flag image, which is marked as PD -- so the user probably had no right to add those licenses in the first place, as all of the creative artwork was from the flag SVG. Even better, the phrygian cap on the flag image itself was changed by that same user from its original look (which may have been more appropriate, as it is more consistent with the look of the rest of the image) to the one from this image, without even noting the source and author (and at this point, who knows if that was the original place). At least that last original is PD, but it is still a good idea to note authorship of sources, as moral rights often exist even if copyright does not. Carl Lindberg 17:47, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The difference would be that I did attribute the original authors by linking to their images. Maybe a better explanation of the copyright is to say that the elements that came from the other images go under their licenses, and all original work is dual-licensed. That is what I was implying by linking to the other images. As far as I know there is not a template on Commons that adequately explains that sort of situation, and including all of the license templates on the page would be really cumbersome. Ipankonin 00:29, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you did link the sources, so most people can figure out the authorship -- more than many folks do. However, the author's names themselves are not listed in the "Author" section on your image page, which is a very basic requirement of CC-BY and CC-BY-SA -- they need to be named on the page. Furthermore, through no fault of your own, you did not name or link to the author of the phrygian cap (since the image you pulled it from took it from somewhere else without any attribution at all). The cumulative result is that you have an image claimed as your own, with your own license stating you are the only copyright holder, without crediting any other authors, even the one who does (I think) hold a portion of the copyright. It's impossible to say whether there were multiple similar stages of your image on its way to vector-image's website, or if they knowingly stole it directly (which is obviously worse).
As for the license, you really can't have a partial license -- that is why there is no tag ;-) The only license acceptable for your Senate seal image is CC-BY-SA, since that is the license of one of the components (the fasces) and your image counts as a derivative work. I suppose you could add a note saying that your portions can also be licensed GFDL, which may well aid future derivative works, but that image as a whole cannot be licensed that way I don't think. Due to the incompatibilities, you cannot combine GFDL-licensed and CC-BY-SA-licensed components into the same derivative work unfortunately (I have seen some deleted under that reasoning), since both licenses require you to use its same license for any derivative works. It sounds like people are working to resolve the incompatibilities in future versions of the licenses, but right now they are technically incompatible I believe. Carl Lindberg 00:45, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Very curious. I'll keep that in mind, and thank you for pointing it out to me. I've said before that copyright ignorance is a bigger problem on Wikipedia than copyright paranoia, and it looks like I've been guilty of it. Ipankonin 11:12, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • This should finish the discussion once and for all. Sent an e-mail to VI asking:
Hi
Acording to the page http://vector-images.com/about.php under the heading "Copyright & disclaimer" it says that:
"Raster preview images in GIF or PNG format of Vector-Images.com can be freely used on other web sites or any media for any purposes with quote to Vector-Images.com (link to www.vector-images.com) only. "
I was just wondering what is meant by "freely used". Does this mean that if I trace the raster preview images into vector format I'm allowed to sell it?

The reply that I got was:
Thank you for your e-mail and interest in our services.
We do not allow to resell our images in any way. All the cliparts on our web server are copyrighted. We do not provide the rights to revectorize our images.
Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

So with "use freely" VI does not allow commercial use and limits derivative use hence not making this license free enough for Commons. Delete /Lokal_Profil 22:34, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Modify then Delete template only I say at first, edit the template to require a new one be put up (such as the english wikipedia "Non-free image" template), and then delete it after a few months, once the changeover has been complete. Don't delete the images, as some may be quite valid, and simply have an improper tag, where another one may be more suitable/appropriate. RingtailedFox 02:45, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Stop any new uploads. Add tips about possible other suitable licenses (such as for russian CoAs). Set a definite end date by which time all images still tagged get deleted. Without the end date the images are just going to be forgotten and nothing new will happen. BEfore this end date images can be deleted via deletion requests and similar. Also remember that many images are derived from VI images so before deleting an image we must check "what links here" and then mark any derivatives for deletion (or if it's a minor part of an image ask the creator to replace it with a free image instead). /Lokal_Profil 03:05, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Nonsense. If this came from Vector-Images.com then they're not freely reusable and need to be deleted. Why on earth should we give images that came from this site more of a chance than we do the other copyvios that come along? Is Commons here to give them free advertising or what? Also bear in mind that if an image is (say) a Russian CoA, then while the CoA itself may not be copyrighted, a particular expression of it might be. I'm not familiar with Russian copyright law on this count (in Britain, the image would be copyrightable even if the CoA itself was PD), and really, I don't care enough to find out. Nevertheless, if you want to go through them, go through them now. I'm not waiting for several months before deleting them. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 19:54, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The different with the russian ones is that VIs versions are often identical to the official ones (hence giving them no new copyright), same thing might apply for other places where the official CoAs are by law free. Also the difference between this and other copyvios is that this one affects 4000-5000 images which has for several years been free. There might be other free alternatives currently on Commons but if we just delete all in one go then non will be replaced with free ones. Also deleting all in one go means that we'll miss all derivative images which need to be tagged/author informed. Don't worry you don't have to go through them since this is a wiki and you don't have to do anything. Also you don't have to wait several months to delete them, you can let someone else do it when the time runs out. /Lokal_Profil 20:16, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Does this mean that you're volunteering to go through them? Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 21:34, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And BTW, "I'm not waiting several months" means "I think any images with this license tag are likely to be shot on sight". Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 21:44, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If the above is (and remains) their answer, then certainly at the very least we can not allow any new images using the tag. Reading the talk page though, the very same question was asked just this past May, and apparently got a very different answer (which was a follow-up to an earlier response that looked more like the one you got). So, I'm not sure if they have just changed your mind, or if there was something misunderstood last time, or if there is someone not familiar with the past communication (and maybe just giving a stock answer). Also the tag is specific to coats of arms and flag images from their site, not all preview images -- not sure if that makes a difference.
The template has been discussed several times from the looks of it, and kept following clarifying statements from them. In good faith afterwards, many images were uploaded, and we should not be in any kind of a rush to delete those. Their status is uncertain to be sure, but it can easily argued that they were used by permission before, so this would constitute a change in terms which we cannot use going forward. It may be a good idea to correspond again, including the past emails and contact addresses, to clarify the situation. It may be better to ask in Russian as well, so there is nothing lost in communication. This is far from a normal copyvio situation though, so I would not treat it like one. Carl Lindberg 04:14, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There isn't going to be a rush for deletion. The only exception is for new images from this site. We need to figure out how many images we have from this site, stop new uploads, then sort things out. While I trust Eugene and the other emailers who sent messages before, I have no clear idea of what was said, mostly because the emails are in Russian. If it needs to be clarified about the preview images, then I will send another email and see what happens. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 08:26, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Now with the toolserver being down now, most of these deletions will need to be done by hand or wait to see if our delinker bots will still work. I personally deleted 2 or 3 images from this bunch, mostly for false sourcing (image claimed to be from VI, but the images differ by many factors). Also keep in mind that some of the images from VI have SVG replacements on en.wikipedia, but they are not on here yet. One example is the reverse of the Oregon flag. I did a vector version of the flag, just too lazy to put it on the Commons. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 08:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Sorry, but when explicitly asked about supposedly free raster preview images (not about for sale images) VI has explicitly said "We do not allow to resell our images in any way. All the cliparts on our web server are copyrighted. We do not provide the rights to revectorize our images." That is, Non Commercial and Non Derivative. So... what's the purpose of this discussion? I mean, if the licensing conditions were compatible before, existing images may be kept (but foreseeing tor replace them ASAP) but new ones cannot be accepted. --Ecemaml talk to me/habla conmigo 10:49, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment This message (in Russian) was received by me from vector-images in May 2007. (Now it was forwarded to OTRS).
    The key words here are (written by Yuri Rosich, Vector-Images.com Marketing manager):
    "никаких ограничений на использование растровых файлов превью мы вообще не накладываем кроме требования указания на источник."
    which means:
    "We do not limit any use of our preview images except the right source indication"
    and
    "Все изложенное выше является официальной позицией представляемой мной компании и может быть цитируемо и публикуемо без изъятий"

      • Who told the discussion is over? Did you do it? I cited the official position of the company. Whose the text from this "notice"? What is his name? Let ask Mr. Rosich, but not the opinion of the unknown person. --Panther 17:43, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

          • The reason I sent the new e-mail (sent to support@vector-images.com and answered by Yuri) was so that I could ask the question bluntly using the most extreme case of a free license (as required by Commons). /Lokal_Profil 20:36, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
            • I also sent it to the same address you sent it to Lokal, and I addressed it to specifically to Yuri. I also included examples of derivative works that I did, so we can show what we mean by derivative works. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 20:56, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
              • But did you ask about selling (commercial use) vectorisations (derivative works) of their images. I asked about this since it was the thing that they were most likely to object to. After all why would they want to allow anyone to set up a competing website selling "their" vector images. /Lokal_Profil 21:05, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

                  • I don't know if this was made clear by other context, but I don't see in your email that you specify that we are talking only about the low-scale bitmap preview images. If I was in business selling images, my assumption would be that "your images" would refer to the ones being sold :-) Also, the tag currently specifies coat of arms and flag images only, not all preview images -- not sure if that distinction is important to them either (it may be; I assume the tag says it that way for a reason).

                    • Don't know if you are reffereing to my e-mail or Zscout370's. If your reffering to mine then "Raster preview images" is quite clear and the page "http://vector-images.com/about.php under the heading "Copyright & disclaimer" is exactly the one we use in the template as a motivation for why the images were allowed. /Lokal_Profil 00:47, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
                      • I was referring to Zscout370's. My main concern with yours is perhaps it was a stock answer to a misunderstood question... "raster" may be lost in translation to a Russian reader. Given the history behind this template, it seems like a good idea to at least try to get a reply from a more authoritative person from there. Of course if we keep pestering them every few months when it's listed for deletion again, they may just give up and say "no" ;-) Carl Lindberg 01:05, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We have more images from them other than flags and coat of arms. I have seen medal images from them appear on the website. I have seen logos and emblems of military forces and ministries of the Russian Government. So it is more than just the flags and coat of arms. Plus, I showed them raster images as the examples, so they know what I am speaking of. I haven't got anything tonight, so I will see what happens.

  • Delete You are all missing the point, whether or not they drew the images themselves they do not own the copyright to the images, despite what they may claim. This is a common problem with copyright, people think "I took the time to draw this therefore I own the copyright", however the copyrights are actually help by the people (or a governmental organ) of the country that created the insignia in the first official document containing it. It can get pretty annoying here on the commons sometimes, there is no accurate way of labelling national insignia, so people use PD-Self, or other weird licenses like this one. There is no way a website holds the copyright to half the national insignia in the world, especially as most were created years before the internet even existed. What you are not understanding here is that if I take a PD image such as the flag of the USA, redraw it, and upload it to a website I own, I don't magically acquire the copyright to it! And if the image was not PD to start with then redrawing it myself is copyright infringement. So this license is entirely bogus, as are all the other flags, and coats of arms uploaded as GFDL, or PD-Self. Just stick your heads back in the sand and move along, or else tag all flags and insignia on the commons for deletion. The phrase I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publish it under the following licenses: is simply not true, a commons user has never owned the rights to national insignia, and never will, they are copyrighted by the governments or in the public domain, but definitely not copyrighted by some random website, or commons user. So my advice, is to just go on ignoring the problem, and pretending all is good, just label everything GFDL, or PD-Self like we always do. Jackaranga 20:25, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'd like to point out that the above isn't always true. Anyone who draws a Coat of arms based soly on the blasoning (i.e. not just redrawing the official interpretation) will be the copyright holder of that image. Now as far as the blasoning since a good blasoning describes the Coat of arms in very general terms (i.e. "a castle" not "the Windsor castle") graphical interpretations of it are generally considered be original works. /Lokal_Profil 20:36, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Agreed, this is not necessarily true. Usually, a blazon leaves a lot of room for artistic interpretation, and each individual emblazon or rendition may very easily have enough original artwork to qualify for copyright. This does not prevent any other artist from making their own interpretation, which would be an entirely separate work (and neither of them would be a derivative work of the textual description; each would be an original work). For example, both this image and this image are both independent emblazons of the reverse of the U.S. Great Seal; they both qualify as being the seal but artistically they are not derivative of each other in any way, so the each artist held copyright on their version (which has lapsed for both of them... and technically, the first one may have been a derivative of an 1850s version). If a version does not add enough original expression to qualify for copyright, then it would carry the same license as the original, which in many cases is PD due to how long some versions have existed. If that is the case for any of these, then tag with PD-old, instead of or in addition to the vector-images tag. If the design is very simple, then PD-ineligible may apply as well. It is common courtesy to identify the source though even in these cases. If they were generated from a vector-images owned vector version, then it seems reasonable to credit them in any case. Carl Lindberg 00:27, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Re-upload images to the projects as fair-use. VI's license is very similar to the UK government's Crown copyright. Any images that can't be re-licensed can be freely uploaded to those projects that accept less-than-free images (I think we can assume good faith most of the time as to their ownership as long as there's no evidence to the contrary). The projects that don't use fair-use are still screwed, but it's better than every project being screwed. Ipankonin 06:19, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Actually these images don't qualify for fair use on most projects for the simple reason that there are free alternatives available. Since coats of arms can always be created freely from the blasoning there, by default, always exists free alternatives. /Lokal_Profil 15:23, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A suggestion: Alot of these images have been superseded by free SVGs. The problem could be reduced (As far as the number of disputed images) by aggressively migrating all other projects to these SVGs and then deleting the VI-rasters. Wont completely solve the problem, but will reduce the apparent inflation. 68.39.174.238 16:02, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • If we create a list of which VI images have alternatives then CommonsDelinker can fix it, even raster -> vector if it's a one of thing. I've already created such a list for the Swedish VI coat of arms. /Lokal_Profil 17:25, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Found 220 VI images which are tagged with vector version available or superseded. They can be found here
  • Keep! Many flags and coats of arms are PD, for example, Russia. Vector-Images no has any copyrights for those pics! --Pauk 23:48, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Those images should be marked as PD for whichever other reason, the other ones need to go. Also note that only the officially produced CoAs of Russia are PD. If I draw my own interpretation (that is one that looks different from the official one) then I can still copyright it. However most (all?) of VI.com's russian CoAs are based on the official ones exactly for the reason that these re PD. /Lokal_Profil 20:09, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kept.Vector-Images could not forbid revectorization of their free Bitmaps. Most of the COAs are PD-old or PD-ineligible. It's only forbidden to sell V-I's original Vector Images. That don't mean that's the same with repainted vector versions. The preview images in PNG, GIF or JPG are still free, so the can stay at commons. ChristianBier 13:12, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re-opened

edit

And re-opened. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 19:27, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If they're PD-old or PD-ineligible then we should delete this template and relicense those. I like how people project onto VI's license what they want it to say instead of what it actually says, and the fact is it's too restrictive and/or ambiguous. That's the reason we're sending emails, but we get contradictory answers. I hope this gets sorted out. Ipankonin 08:26, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I start retagging the COAs of Belarus, Russia and Estonia with the correct Licences with the help of my AWB. But we have to speak about the others. What should we do? Search for Alternatives? Redraw as SVG? Want to here your Ideas and maybe we could coordinate the work here together. ChristianBier 01:47, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Many have SVG alternatives already here or on other projects. Once we get toolserv back up and running, this job will be a ton easier. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 07:08, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please pay attention to Russian municipal symbols, containing "proposed" in their's names. They are not PD-RU-exempt and must be locally reuploaded under fair use conditions. --Panther 08:29, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Only flag, coat of arms are exempted by {{PD-BY-exempt}}. So cities and regions COAs and flags status are still unknown. Book about Belarusian heraldry (С.Я. Рассадзін. А.М. Міхальчанка. Гербы і сцягі гарадоў і раёнаў Беларусі, ISBN 985-01-0530-5) claims official cities COAs are copyrighted by one of state organizations. Most COAs and flags are redesigned in modern times so such claims have merit. --EugeneZelenko 15:47, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also not that only offical coat of arms are covered by PD-RU etc. If VI have made their own interpretations of the blasoning then they do own the copyright of the image, even if it is russian. Same thing goes for PD-old claims, new interpreations give new copyright. /Lokal_Profil 22:45, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not in Russia, Belarus or Estonia for example (also in Germany too). When the law does forbid own copyright on COAs,no one can get copyright on self-made COAs based on blasoning etc. Please read the laws (in the most of the cases the paragraphs are mentioned in the license-tag). ChristianBier 00:23, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
{{PD-RU-exempt}} mentiones only state symbols and flags which I would interpret to mean official state symbols and flags. {{PD-Coa-Germany}} mentions official works like coats of arms limiting the copyright of official interpretations only. I expect that the wording is similar for Estonia, Belarus and other countries. I don't actually believe the states could make other peoples non-derivtive works public domain, at least not if outside their own country. That is if I'm in the US and I draw an image which I name CoA of Russia (but which doesn't look like the official one) then Russian law wouldn't apply to the image. If I on the other hand draw an image based on the official one then Russian law comes into play since my image is a derivative of a official russian image. Anyhow own interpretations would have to be own interpretations of the blasoning not interpretations of the official coat of arms, which (since the official coat of arms is PD) wouldn't be very usefull to us. And the above comment was more a general warning to not blindly assume that all VI CoAs for specific countries are by default PD (although most of them will in fact be derivatives). /Lokal_Profil 11:17, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal for the most appropriate solution

edit

Dear friends. I'm not the Commons-administrator. But I suggest I could give the most appropriate solution for our problem. I don't say - this is result. I say - this is the most appropriate solution for present. Alex Spade 12:20, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

First. The template
edit

The template must be kept, but redesigned. The first variant of such redesign was offered on Commons:Deletion requests/Template:Vector-Images.com#Third proposed new template content. It took into account the possible freedom of exclusive VI.com images (via {{Attribution}} as default). The my variant was supported, but wasn't applied. Now VI.com says, that their exclusive drawnings are not free (in definition of FCW). Therefore, I have proposed the Fourth proposed new template content - {{Vector-Images.com/proposal (2nd)}} - this is variant - we can enchance it, but template is very necessary.

Unknown status - {{Vector-Images.com}}

Total unfree status - {{Vector-Images.com|copyvio}}

Free status - for examples {{Vector-Images.com|PD-RU-exempt}}, {{Vector-Images.com|PD-ineligible}}, {{Vector-Images.com|PD-old}}

Second. Vectorization
edit
  1. Could we use vector version of official COA and flags (real official, without distortions) from VI.com? The VI.com deprecates such action. It is possible, that they couldn't - it's possible that in ru-law vectorization is trivial action, which doen's create new and independent copyright. But such promblem is still unarbitrated, so I suugest, we cann't risk and there is no special necessity to use exactly vector versions, exactly from VI.com. And previous discussions support such POV - don't use the vector images from VI.com
  2. Could we create own vector version? I suggest - we could - VI.com cann't prohibited sush action. If image is trivial - its vectorization is also trivial and cann't be copyrigted. If image is untrivial - its vecorization is also untrivial and can be copyrigted, but our vecorizations in most cases could be different from VI.com in SVG-code.
edit

There are five primary types of images on VI.com.

  1. Non-heraldic arts. Clear situation. VI.com always depractes to use them and we never have been using them.
  2. Proposal heraldic arts, for example Image:Coat of Arms of Zelenograd-Silino (municipality in Moscow) proposal.png. Early we were using them, but now VI.com says, that they are not free in definition of FCW.
    • Could VI.com deprecate to use them? Yes, because these images are proposal - they aren't PD-exempt.
    • And what we must do with them? I suggest - we must check, can such images fall under other PD tags: PD-old, PD-Russia or other. If they cann't - unfortunately we must delete them - we have no chance to leave them on Commons.
    • This is not very large problem fot Wikipedia-evolution. These images are proposals, they are not official ones - their concernment is smaller than concernment of official ones.
  3. Green Heraldic arts (а) based on official ones, (b) primordially fall under PD-exempt, PD-ineligible, PD-old, PD-Russia, PD-USGov, PD-GermanGov and etc., (c) without distortions - for example Image:Russia coa.svg (don't put attention, that this image is vector one, think that it is raster one). Clear situation - we can tag sush images as {{Vector-Images.com|respective tag}} or even just {{respective tag}}, but I recommend first variant. Any work of VI.com artists is trivial for such raster images.
  4. Yellow Heraldic arts (а) based on official ones, (b) primordially fall under PD-exempt, PD-ineligible, PD-old, PD-Russia, PD-USGov, PD-GermanGov and etc., (c) with distortions - for example variant form VI.com vs. official one. Not so clear situation - I recommend to tag sush images as {{Vector-Images.com|respective tag}}. Work of VI.com artists can be copyrighted for such raster images. I suggest, such work cann't be copyrighted - it's too unoriginal and uncreative, the Russian Supreme Court and Supereme Arbitral Court repeatedly say that, only original and creative work can be copyrighted. But this is my POV - I offer to keep these images on commons for present, and to rediscuss them later.
  5. Red Heraldic arts (а) based on official ones, (b) don't fall under PD-exempt, PD-ineligible, PD-old, PD-Russia, PD-USGov, PD-GermanGov and etc. - i.e. primordially copyrighted, (c) with/without disortions (this point is unimpotant). For example en:Image:Coat of arms of Canada.svg (don't put attention, that this image is not from VI.com, think that it is from VI.com and raster one). Unfortunately we must delete them - they are not originally free - the works of VI.com is just der.works from unfree works.
    • Yes, all official flags and COAs are uncopyrighted in Russia, even if they are copyrighted in country of origin. Yes, VI.com can freely make vector version of them. But for Commons - these work are still primordially unfree.
    • And this is real problem fot Wikipedia-evolution.

I know it's been open for awhile but please wait until an admin closes this. It's not a clear cut issue and you're too involved to close it anyway. Also, this isn't the place to discuss the details of new templates (a link to the template's talk page is all you need - our DR pages are big enough already). - Rocket000 05:33, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would have liked to hear others' input (like those admins that closed/reopened/protected this), but I guess this doesn't need to remain open. The discussion has moved to a more suitable place: Template talk:Vector-Images.com. I admit I was acting more for the sake of formality and closure than any real issues. Will a non-admin please close this? :) - Rocket000 20:59, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The main purpose of Wikipedia and Wikicommons discussion is looking-for reasoned consensus. I suggest we have found it - Section Third. Copyright status is summary with some my additional comments/explanations. Since Commons:Deletion requests/Template:Vector-Images.com nothing was chaned except that VI.com have clearly deprecated to use its own independent works. The situation with this template is complex. If smb still want to discuss the template, he must to choose which point of possible freedom does he want to discuss #3 (Green Heraldic arts) or #4 (Yellow Heraldic arts) - the other ways (#1,#2 and #5) is closed by VI.com or/and laws of respecive countries. Because, I suggest, that User:Lokal Profil and User:Rocket000 aren't objecting to found consensus, I have asked User:Collard for any additional commnets. I think, we can close this discussion after his final comment - the other problems of this template are subject of other discussions. Alex Spade 08:49, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Human fetus - 40 weeks - B&W.jpg

edit

Hi. Please delete Image:Human_fetus_-_40_weeks_-_B&W.jpg. This is a duplicate of another image. The other image is Image:40_weeks_pregnant.jpg, and the other image should not be deleted even though it has a tag placed by OsamaK. (UPDATE: As discussed below, the other image has been converted from black and white to color in the middle of this discussion, and I have converted back to black and white pending the outcome of this discussion.)

I explained this to OsamaK here. OsamaK replied here. Further discussion of this matter can be found here at Wikipedia.Ferrylodge 15:47, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete duplicates of eachother. Per user is fine. -- Deadstar (msg) 16:20, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per my message. Ferrylodge took an image that I edited and uploaded it over the original. We need to revert the original back to the color version, and keep my black and white edit. On top of that Image:40 weeks pregnant.jpg should be renamed to make clear that the subject is a human fetus, not the image of a pregnant whale or anything else. Finally, if this image is deleted, it needs to be made clear that I get credit for editing the image. The upload log of FL uploading my edit over the original was highly deceptive. -Andrew c 17:11, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Andrew c, I see that you have decided to unilaterally rearrange all of these images, in the middle of this discussion.[160] I hope you do it right, including editing all the articles where they are linked, deleting the appropriate images, undeleting the appropriate images, moving descriptive material from one file to another, et cetera, et cetera. You might have actually tried to wait until this discussion had reached a conclusion, before unilaterally shuffling over a dozen Wikimedia images, and messing with the respective Wikipedia articles. Seems like that would have been the polite thing to do.
I was trying to accomplish basically the same results, but in the simplest possible manner, and instead you accuse me of being "deceptive." Please bear in mind that you asked me to use B&W images instead of color images in various Wikipedia articles, and therefore I uploaded B&W images over the color ones (after consulting with the image donor about the B&W images that I created). You then complained that the B&W images needed to be desaturated, so I obligingly uploaded all of your desaturated versions. Then you complained that the color versions ought to still remain completely available at Wikimedia Commons rather than buried in an image history, even though you did not want them used in any Wikipedia articles, and so I uploaded the color versions to new Wikiemedia Commons files.
I do not understand why you are making accusations and taking unilateral action here. Try AGF, please.Ferrylodge 17:36, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I do not have the time to respond in detail now. I think this is a simple misunderstanding that can easily be cleared up. I suggest that you watch your tone, and check your history. I never once asked you to use B&W images on wikipedia, and I never said B&W images need to be desaturated (desaturated simply means to make B&W). I'll reply in more detail when I get the time. Please be patient. I'm sure we can work this out.-Andrew c 17:49, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You said that the images needed to be "re-desaturated."[161] Also, another user said that you wanted to remove the color images, but evidently she was mistaken.[162] In any event, the consensus at the Fetus article was to replace the color images with black and white images (you did not object).Ferrylodge 18:05, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This image ought to be deleted. It is inappropriate to have the same image three times on Wikimedia.This one is in color. This one was in black and white until Andrew c changed it to color in the middle of this discussion (I have reverted to black and white with full attribution to Andrew c for re-desaturating it). And this one is the black and white image currently under discussion, which should be deleted.
Also, please note that two other images were properly deleted by User:Siebrand under almost the exact same circumstances, namely: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:Human_fetus_-_10_weeks_-_B%26W.jpg&action=edit and http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:Human_fetus_-_20_weeks_-_B%26W.jpg&action=edit Ferrylodge 18:26, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I vote stop being lame. This problem is incredibly simple: There's one image in black and white and one in colour. They need to have their own pages. You don't need to fill a 1280x960 screenful discussing that. Get on with it. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 21:28, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Lewis Collard, you're mistaken. There are two images in black and white (here and there), plus a third image in color (there).Ferrylodge 21:54, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, there's one in black and white which is duplicated. My comment still stands: work it out. This is not complicated. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 23:40, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree it's not complicated. One of the two black and white images ought to be deleted. That's why I made this deletion request. If the other one is deleted, then that would be deleting the original upload page that preceded all of the others; that other black and white image is linked by multiple Wikipedia articles whereas this one is not, and furthermore no one has suggested deleting that other black and white image.Ferrylodge 23:50, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize for complicating matters by asking for a rename. But IMO, the original file names are not descriptive enough. My preference is to have the file names "Human fetus - X weeks.jpg" and "Human fetus - X weeks - B&W.jpg" for the color and B&W sets respectively. I have never disputed that we shouldn't get rid of redundant images. If no nobody else sees any merit in having more accurate file names, then be my guest to delete the remaining B&W files. -Andrew c 01:50, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Can't we just delete this redundant image, and then discuss renaming the remaining B&W image? If we delete the other B&W image, we'd be deleting the page where this image was originally uploaded to Wikimedia.Ferrylodge 01:58, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And by deleting these images, you are deleting the page where the B&W edit was originally uploaded, and where I propose the new names to go. Anyway, images are different from wikipedia pages in that you can't simply move or rename them. You have to re-upload the old file at the new name, so deleting the original page isn't really an issue. The reason why we shouldn't delete this page is because if the rename proposal goes through, this page would simply have to be re-created (or undeleted). Make sense? I apologize if my explanation is confusing ;p-Andrew c 03:59, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry if I'm being dense here, but you have asked that the other B&W image be renamed "Image:Human fetus - 40 weeks.jpg". That is a different name from the present B&W image, so it does not make sense to me that anything would have to be re-created or undeleted. Andrew c, I ask you again: do you still think that the file history at the other B&W image is "highly deceptive"? It specifically acknowledges your re-desaturation work. And finally, can't we please delete this duplicate, and get on with things? We could then have a discussion elsewhere about whether or not to rename the other B&W image, and what the consequences of renaming would be, and we could leave these kind "Deletion Requests" aficionados in peace.  :) Thanks.Ferrylodge 04:25, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, I asked for the color versions to be renamed. Remember, I reverted back to the color version before I placed the rename tag on the images. You are the one who reverted back to the black and white images. How about this. I reupload the black and white images that I created at the more specific username so we have a full set. Then I'll go through all the links and replace the old "Image:X weeks pregnant.jpg" with "Image:Human fetus - x weeks - B&W.jpg". Once that is complete, we can revert the "Image:X weeks pregnant.jpg" back to the color versions and leave the rename request as is. Finally, we can mark the "Image:ColorX weeks pregnant.jpg" for speedy deletion as duplicate. Yeah it's complicated, but it makes sense to me and I'll do all the leg work, and the result will be one set of color images and one set of B&W images at more specific file names. It seems like a win win situation.-Andrew c 05:28, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Andrew c, in your original comment here, you said that an upload log was "highly deceptive." You seem to be going out of your way to not answer my question about whether you still think so. The upload log now specifically credits you with re-desaturating the images. Would you please kindly tell me if you still consider the upload logs to be "highly deceptive." I've asked you at your talk page,[163] and I've asked you here, but you have not acknowledged this question. I never had any intention of being deceptive in any way, and you know that I thanked you when you re-desaturated the images.[164]
I still do not understand why you have any objection to deleting this black and white image. Maybe it has something to do with what you called the "highly deceptive" upload log. Or maybe it has something to do with this thread that you have started at the Village Pump. In any event, there are already two other image files for this image, including one black and white, and one color. Therefore, one image file is going to have to be deleted, and I do not understand why it cannot be this one.
Despite my objections, a consensus was reached at the Fetus article to use a black and white image rather than a color image as the primary image that will be displayed in that article, and I agreed to accept that consensus. Therefore, I feel that the primary black and white image should be located with the primary and original upload log. Can we please delete this image, and then take up renaming separately? Frankly I do not understand the urgency of renaming, or why that matter has to be mixed up with deleting a duplicate. If you look at the gallery of fetus images, you'll see that very few have names specifying that they are human, since that is the obvious implication if no other species is identified in the file name. Your rename request therefore strikes me as being more trouble than it's worth, since it would require rewriting links in multiple articles, and going through that process four times (since we have images at 6, 10, 20, and 40 weeks). As one user put it, file names should be descriptive, but it's not important because no one will see the file names when they read a Wikipedia article. But like I said, can't we mercifully just take one thing at a time, delete this duplicate, and deal with the renaming issue separately, please? Ferrylodge 06:13, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I offered an elegant solution that solves your issues and my issues. I said I'd do all the work. Why are you refusing to go along? The end result will be a product that we are all happy with. Win win, right? -Andrew c 18:18, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Andrew c, this is a deletion request. I am not refusing to go along, you are. (And as I said, I feel that the primary black and white image should be located with the primary and original upload log.)Ferrylodge 19:30, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Note, you've both just filled another 1280x960 page. Goodness me. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 19:44, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I have changed my mind. Please delete these images completely from the commons. That also included various file revisions across 4 other images. Again, please DO NOT USE MY WORK. I wish for it to be deleted. Sorry things didn't work out better, but you win!-Andrew c 21:14, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you let me know about this. The image is not public domain but originally uploaded as GFDL by Clive Wawn who is a son of the author of text in image (please see detail in en:User:Wawny).

P.S. Image:Spitfire versus Zero.jpg,one of two uploaded images, wan't by his father, which I failed to see. So it is not certain the right belongs to him.

Better to OCR the text and upload it to wikisource. The image is definitely a problem. Wings magazine may or may not have obtained the copyright as a work for hire, which means that they would have held the copyright and it will expire 50 or 70 years after the death of the creator - because of this, his heir may or may not have the right to post the materials, depending on the status of the agreement (which I'm guessing is going to be impossible to obtain).

Additionally, I haven't used it within a topic at ja.wikipedia, so I won't be bothered with deletion. Well, If you wish fair use of images on all wikipedia-projects, it is better to inform these problems to original en.wikipedia's topic or uploader at it, in my opinion.--Tataroko-common 09:55, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

unsourced, probable copyright violation, possible unencyclopedic digital manipulation of historic image Pieter Kuiper 07:30, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do not take any of the unsubstantiated claims Peter here is stating, seriously. It's in no way, digital manipulation and that is just a disingenuous attack from Peter's side (you shouldn't make such remarks if you have no idea what you're talking about). I'll fix the source and license for this image in a week or so. Don't delete it. — EliasAlucard 15:42, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I see that Alucard has now provided a source, very good. However, he gives as author en:Frederick A. Aprim. This is the author of a book in which the picture appears, but it is highly unlikely that this person made the picture in Jerusalem before 1950. Aprim seems to be too young for that. Alucard removed the delete-template from the image page, without giving proof of a license. /Pieter Kuiper 20:27, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I emailed the author, this picture is published in his book, he gave me full permission to use both pictures anyway I like on Commons. How far have you intended to take this crusade against these pictures? — EliasAlucard 00:03, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This picture was taken no earlier than 1967, after the Six Day War - as seen in the photograph, the original sign was in Arabic and English, and the Hebrew part was added the hebrew above. Daniel Tzvi 02:13, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
EliasAlucard, will you please find the email granting permission and forward it to OTRS? Lewis Collard! (talk, contribs, en.wp) 11:06, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Aprim mailing OTRS would only be useful if Aprim made this picture, I think (or if he can show that the picture has a very general license). It is not sufficient if Aprim had obtained the photographer's permission for publication in his book.
Aside from that, the concerns about image manipulation are growing. If the "AS" in "Assyrian" was deleted in 1950 and if the Hebrew was added after 1967, this picture must be a montage. /Pieter Kuiper 13:28, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I can forward it to OTRS, but I would need instructions since I've never done that. Aprim gave me permission to use the picture. As for the other picture that has been requested for deletion, Image:Mor Marqos Monastery Syrian.jpg it's taken by a friend of mine and he gave me permission to upload it here. By the way, don't believe any outrageous nonsense of the picture being manipulated. This is simply dishonest and in no way true. Anyone living in Israel/Jerusalem can take a look at the sign with his own eyes and verify what's written on the sign. The actual date (1950) may not be entirely accurate, but that is not our concern right now. In any case, this image is scanned from Aprim's book and he gave me permission to do what I want with the image (in his own words), and I have permission from both by William Warda (whose site it is taken from) and Aprim to use the image here because they want it to be shown. — EliasAlucard 22:15, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. I have no interest in the policital disagreements here, but the image has been scanned from a recent book, and hence needs permission from the photographer or other copyight owner (who may or may not be the book's author) to OTRS. If that can be done, we can consider undeletion. MichaelMaggs (talk) 20:49, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This image, which was originally posted to Flickr, was reviewed 7 June 2007 by the administrator or trusted user Ranveig, who found that it was currently available on Flickr under the license All rights reserved, which isn't compatible with the Commons. It is unknown whether the license above was ever valid. --Rockfang 08:54, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Flickr user Shokophoto changed his licensing after the image was uploaded here but before this could be verified. Wikicommons has at least two other photos by Shokophoto, Image:Hook, Morris, Sumner in New Order.jpg and Image:Fatboy Slim in 2004.jpg, who are CC-licensed here but "All rights reserved" at Flickr. Thuresson 06:39, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So I'm assuming the next step would be to get the images as CC-licensed on Flickr correct?--Rockfang 21:08, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's not likely to happen if he had good reason to change the license in the first place. From the evidence, it seems highly likely it was CC, so I would rush to delete. Maybe all we got to do is ask if the image used to be CC. If he's honest, that's all we need. →Яocket°°° 08:53, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This photograph is a studio portrait or some other kind of photographic work of art protected by copyright for 70 years post mortem auctoris by Finnish copyright law. Such file cannot be used with the licence tag {{PD-Finland50}}. Sier's copyright ends on 1st January 2011. --MPorciusCato 08:46, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment In fact, now I have been reconsidering the nomination I made. This image, made in 1880's, shows the original photo atelier's stamp: "Evelina Stier & Co". Now this can be considered to be a copyright claim by the company Evelina Stier & Co, making this a work published by the company "Evelina Stier & Co", not by the private person "Evelina Stier". The difference is vast. If the company claimed authorship, then the photo falls under {{anonymous-EU}} without any problems, and it has been in PD already in the 1950's according to the present 70 years rule and in 1930's according to the former Finnish 50 years rule. --MPorciusCato 11:48, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Thinking it through, I am personally convinced that it was a mistake to nominate this photo for deletion. I hope others agree. --MPorciusCato 12:42, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment I don't agree with MPorciusCatos argument. The stamp can not in any way be considered a copyright claim and even if it were, it would not exclude the fact that the copyright of the work belonged at least originally to the photographer and it was later transferred by some sort of agreement to the company. In either case normal post mortem + 70 year would aply. Other question entirely is that the odds are that the original photographer died more than 70 years ago making this picture public domain. --Joonasl 13:02, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The copyright does not require claiming, I concur with you there. However, if you publish a work without author's name, you publish an anonymous work, and the copyright for such work is only 70 years after publication. The question is, whether this is an anonymous work. No name of the photographer was given, only the name of the juridical person responsible. In my opinion, the case is similar to a standard or other work made by an unknown person, published in the name of the organization.
The relevant Finnish copyright act article is 44§:
Teokseen, joka on julkistettu tekijän nimeä taikka yleisesti tunnettua salanimeä tai nimimerkkiä ilmoittamatta, on tekijänoikeus voimassa, kunnes 70 vuotta on kulunut siitä vuodesta, jona teos julkistettiin. Jos teos julkaistaan osina, lasketaan tekijänoikeuden voimassaoloaika erikseen kullekin osalle.
Translation is:
A work published without author's name or commonly known pseudonym or nom de plume, is covered by copyright until 70 years have passed since the year that the work was published. If the work is published in parts, the copyright term is calculated separately for each part.
In my opinion, it is clear that this work has been published without the name of the author. If the image had been taken by some employee of Stier's, there would have been exactly same text, so the text does not identify the author, but shows that the work has not been published with a name, thus falling it under 44§. --MPorciusCato 13:49, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Even though the name of the photographer is a) not stamped on the photograph (it's not done even today in photography studios) and b) not know to us now hundred and so years later does not automatically mean that the picture was originally published anonymously. Absent of proof is not proof of absence, as it were. If you go to the original source of the picture [172] (search for "Nottbeck"; Picture number 341:39:15) the name of the photographer is given as "Stier Evelina". --Joonasl 14:25, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like a personality-rights or copyright violation (obviously a video snapshot) and doesn't have any documentational value. --84.190.206.219 04:39, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Neutral I really think it may have a documentational value but I'm not sure about the copyright nor the personality rights. Again it's really hard to know if it's the uploader even if he would claim it! And the fact that it's a video snapshot doesn't mean anything since any user can upload a snapshot of his own videos.

three dimensional object, copyright has not expired Polarlys 18:50, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep This is about as non-artistic a shot as you can imagine. It is a mechanical reproduction. And the "third dimension" is a bit of scroll rolling at the ends, in short not creatively picked. Does not even begin to pass the threshold of originality. -Nard 21:32, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
“Mechanical reproduction” in the sense of “individual holding camera, adjusting lights to reduce shadows, choosing aperture and other parameters, pulling the object out of its context”? With this argumentantion we can call any related photography “non-artistic”. --Polarlys 22:59, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry but sweat of the brow in exact duplications of PD works has been ruled out as a reason to claim copyright on an image in the U.S., even if the person worked for two days on it http://www.studentweb.law.ttu.edu/cochran/cochran/Cases%20&%20Readings/Copyright-UNT/Copy'ability/batlin.htm and this case did involve 3D objects. -Nard 04:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is no “exact duplication” since “exact duplication” does not imply the possibility of various perspective with different results. And US case-law doesn’t matter here. --Polarlys 11:43, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Legally it matters. This isn't an faithful reproduction. (It's 3D, how can a photo be a copy?) And N, if you want to argue based on works passing the "threshold of originality", let's talk about "neighboring rights" or photographer's rights where they get copyright-like status for merely making a faithful reproduction of a 2D work. I don't mean things like lighting, shadows, and perspective, where you can tell one copy from another, I mean as close to the original as you can get. Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me either, but Commons respects these weird laws. Rocket000 00:13, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I restored the request since „Giggy“ closed it with „kept“ without any comment on the discussed matter. Provide arguments, this is no autocracy. --Polarlys 23:29, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result is delete as PD works can be copyrighted if they are not faithful reproductions. For example, a image of Mona Lisa hanging from the Louvre is copyright by its photographer (unless otherwise specified) but a scan of the image is not.

derivative work of copyrighted sign Calliopejen 01:32, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Deletion The following is what i wrote on several related images. This is honest opposition, but I did not receive any response on those. Here it is again. If you disagree, please explain.
    • This is not copyrighted, it is a historical plaque which is put out there to be read and photographed, it is published into the public domain deliberately.
    • It does not have a copyright indication on it. The historical society that put it up wants the information known and expressly does not copyright it.
    • Also there are numerous websites which photograph plaques and/or gravestones, consistent with there being no problem with this. One with plaques is a plaques website.
    • Consider somewhat different issue of stock market prices. Stock markets may want to copyright and sell the open, high, low, closing prices of their stocks, but it is found that they cannot both publish such information daily in newspapers and claim that it is proprietary. Hence it is public domain if you will collect it from the newspapers (you can copyright a database of collected, verified, modified stock prices however.) Here, we are collecting it from the field observations directly. Doncram 02:23, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • This is entirely different from a stock market, because of the idea/expression dichotomy that is central to copyright law. Stock market numbers are facts (ideas) and hence cannot be copyrighted, whereas this sign contains expression which is the essence of what is copyrightable. 140.247.248.171 00:33, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless an explicit permission statement from the copyright holder publishing the image under a free licence is forwarded to OTRS. Any work of sufficient originality is protected by copyright by default. There is no need to expressly indicate this. The US does not have freedom of panorama, so displaying a work in public in no way constitutes permission to redistribute the work in modified or unmodified form in a commercial or noncommercial context. Other websites may publish such works under fair use provisions, but this does not apply to Commons. They may also violate copyright laws out of ignorance or knowing that the risks are low. The stock market example is irrelevant, as simple factual data (as opposed to an original writing) is not copyrightable. —LX (talk, contribs) 18:05, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Deletion I believe government works (like this plaque) aren't copyrighted. Could this be researched, and a definitive answer one way or the other be found? Before we delete, let's make sure please. -Ebyabe 22:35, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete due to scope. This plaque probably is {{PD-ineligible}} since it's only text, but sicne it's only text it's not really a good image anyway. // Liftarn
  • Delete Although U.S. Federal government works are public domain by default, that doesn't apply to city or county or state government publications. Although my vote is deletion, I'd be willing to suspend closure of this nomination for a reasonable time (1 week?) so the appropriate authorities may be contacted for confirmation. Durova 23:15, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hrm. It is easily within scope; the signs themselves are always of interest, especially to see which aspects of the local history are mentioned. There are several websites devoted to cataloguing them [177][178], and the signs are often mentioned in related wikipedia articles, so I definitely disagree with an out-of-scope argument (in fact, this picture is used in a wikipedia article). This is on the edge of copyright paranoia, but the paragraph of text is probably enough to qualify for copyright. If we had pictures of every single historical marker, we would probably find a couple of historical societies which sell books with the contents, and may claim copyright to protect it. Most would not care, and the photo would certainly be fair use in most circumstances, but it is on the edge. In many cases the state does not write the text themselves; they are often authored by individuals or societies which make the proposal, and the state picks which ones to put up. When was this erected? According to a Google book (Minnesota History Along the Highways) here, there was a marker erected in this park in 1954 by the city of St. Paul and others. This sign looks newer, but if it is that one, then it appears it was published without a copyright notice (and thus public domain immediately). Even if it was, it was then likely not renewed. If this is the 1954 marker (or has the same text as that marker), I would keep it. It may be worth it to contact someone and as well; I believe that has worked in the past in some other states. Even confirming the date may help. Carl Lindberg 05:49, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Why doesn't this fall under {{PD-MNGov}}? All Minnesota cities are considered to be "branches" of the state government.--Appraiser 14:03, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Look at its talk page... that template should not be used. The ruling the template relies on was likely overrruled by a separate decision, unfortunately. Those rulings happened over 10 years ago but the state web pages still claim copyright, which they probably could not if that first ruling were in fact true.

Followup: there is mention elsewhere that one participant is seeking Mn Historical Association contact.

Question Under what circumstances can photos of historic sites used in wikipedia include pictures of plaques, in your view. Certainly, a faraway view of a historic house that has a unreadable plaque standing in front of it, must be allowable. What about a closer view showing a partial view of the house, with the plaque readable but taking up less than 25% of the picture? If the readable plaque is just 10% of the picture? What if the use in wikipedia is as part of set of 10 photos, each covering 10% of the site, one being the plaque. Can you not argue that use of a pic of a historic plaque is "fair use" in an article/photo set on the site. The purpose of many would-be plaque photo users in wikipedia is documenting a site, not documenting a plaque per se, so can't the plaque use be considered incidental fair use in the site documentation, under some circumstances? Doncram 21:25, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it does get interesting, doesn't it? :-) The image could most certainly be used under a fair use provision on the English Wikipedia. On commons though, the images need to be usable in countries which have either a different concept of fair use or none at all, and they need to be available for *any* use, not just in an educational context. Say, for example, someone making a wikibook of all the historical signs in a state or other area, typing in the text they see on the image. Is that OK? Is it then OK for someone to make a hardcopy book of the same, and sell it? Images where the sign is an incidental part of the picture, that should be no problem (if someone thought the text was copyrightable and too readable, we could probably blur it without affecting the main use of the photo). 99.9% of the time, this type of thing was never meant to be copyrighted, but under today's laws it is. If it was put up before March 1, 1989, we could argue it was published without a copyright notice, and therefore public domain and OK. It is frustrating because most any use of the photo would be "fair use" (since it is educational in nature), and taking this line of reasoning to its very limits would probably invalidate a ton of images on commons and cross into copyright paranoia (which this may be as well). Carl Lindberg 02:57, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I would be happy to add them back to English Wikipedia and claim Fair Use, but can I count on support for that stance? I find this paranoia frustrating and a waste of my time, so I won't bother if I don't have reason to think it will succeed. Also, I thought the cutoff date was 1978 rather than 1989. Some of the deleted plaques fell in that window.
I asked User:Calliopejen why [179] and [180] are acceptable and received highly hypocritical answers, IMO. ("Maybe technically this is fair use but the copyright holder isn't going to complain and I don't think it's worth losing sleep over. In modern life ginormous ads are everywhere" and "The text on the little sign is technically copyrighted but it's ok to have there because it's not the subject of the photo") Whether the owner would complain shouldn't be germane according to her and the small sign describing the lens could be worse, since that author isn't attributed at all. In contrast, the plaque photos clearly give attribution to the organization that erected them. I think a real lawyer would find this topic laughable.--199.64.0.252 14:26, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'd support a transwiki. This is about as clear a case for fair use as we'll ever see. And regarding the side issues, any informational plaques where the wording is not legible wouldn't be a copyright problem, and any plaques from governments that release their publications public domain would be fine also. So the plaques at U.S. national parks could all be hosted here. Offhand I'm not sure which other governments PD their work. Durova 18:43, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How is this a clear case for fair use? It's exactly the opposite because it's obvious someone could write this in their own words. We don't paste copyrighted paragraphs or pages from books, we write them in our own words and cite them. 140.247.248.171 00:30, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is a photo of a historical marker, as it appears on the grounds of the park, showing the essentially official description of the park. How do you propose showing the marker accurately without the text? Displaying the text, as it appears in public, is the intended use for that textual description and is most certainly "fair". If someone was making their own historical marker, then re-using the text would not be fair use, but that is entirely different. This is not being used as a substitute for writing a description. I am in agreement that a lawyer would find this topic mostly ridiculous, but there are some weird interactions with both commons' rules and GFDL compatibility, which cloud the matter. A straight-up photo of copyrighted text is basically no different than the text itself and thus not allowed; a photo showing the text as a small part of the photo while being shown in relation to its wider context is usually just fine, but this photo is very uncomfortably somewhere in the middle without an easily defined line. I have been noticing that in many states historical markers have a date on them since the 1990s; the lack of a date here may indicate that it is older. I'm not sure when the St. Paul markers began to be dated though. As for the 1978/1989 question, items published without a copyright notice before 1978 were public domain immediately, and between 1978 and 1989 the author had five years to register such items to gain protection. If the text of this sign was never registered (extremely likely), and it was put up before 1989, then it should be public domain anyways. No hard proof as of yet though. Carl Lindberg 02:18, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(ec) Actually I quote copyrighted paragraphs all the time, and cite them. We just don't quote entire chapters. Durova 02:20, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kept. FOP does not apply in the US to objects of this type. It is quite possible and indeed it is normal for text to be copyright, by the way; copyright does not cover images only. However, {{PD-MNGov}} does seem to apply, and overrides what would normally be a copyright claim. The history of the {{PD-MNGov}} template is complicated but is seems from the template talk page that the legal issues with it have now been ironed out. It was restored in Nov 2007 after having earlier been deleted. MichaelMaggs 16:45, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

it *is* released under GFDL.

Blue orb (check!) with gold details (check!) on red background (check!). What is incorrect? Are you talking about the design? // Liftarn
Yeah, they're different. The cross has different detail and the gold line through the orb is rounded. This still isn't a reason for deletion. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 03:55, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The blazon of coat of arms don't specify exactly how the design should be so it's open to interpretation. // Liftarn
Liftarn: you write of the blazon. I doubt you actually know the blazon of this particular coat of arms. As a service, I'll write it down for you (in German):

In Rot ein blauer Reichsapfel mit goldenem (gelbem) Beschlag und goldenem (gelbem) Kleeblattkreuz. (taken from: Die Kreis- und Gemeindewappen im Regierungsbezirk Karlsruhe, Stuttgart 1990, ISBN 3-8062-0802-6; page 45; that's an official publication edited by the Baden-Württemberg state archives.)

Loose translation (not using the special words the English language provides for blazons): In red, a blue Globus cruciger with golden fitting and a golden cloverleaf cross. The blazon specifically describes not just any cross, but a Kleeblattkreuz, which translates as a cloverleaf cross. The kind of cross that is present in the original drawing, but not in your drawing.

Further: while the blazon may leave room to some interpretation, please keep in mind that this is an official coat of arms used by a town. That particular COA was designed in 1900, and the town uses it like this, not in any other form. If you upload a file, claiming it is the COA of the town of Eppelheim, it should actually look like the COA of Eppelheim. Your file does not look like it. Also, if you insert the vva template into the original file's description, you claim that there is a vector version of the original file available. But there is not; your file only looks similar.

So: either a) you modify your file that it looks like the original file, b) the file gets deleted, or c) it gets reuploaded under another file name not claiming that this is the COA of Eppelheim, and the vva template is removed. --Rosenzweig 17:11, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, cloverleaf cross. Missed that one. It is now fixed. Better like that? // Liftarn
Better, but not quite there yet. You should also fix the lines on the orb. In order for this image to pass as the COA of Eppelheim, they must be straight, not curved like they are at present. Here's the coat of arms as used by the city itself. --Rosenzweig 17:44, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that is technically needed, but should be quite easy to do. Coat of arms can obviously cause emotions to flow. Image:Lerum vapen.svg made national news[183] after the webmaster for Lerum complained about it, but the national heraldist supported Wikipedia's version. // Liftarn
I was about to officially withdraw the deletion request, but Collard was faster. Fine, now the SVG version is ok. It wasn't necessary to make the shield as wide as in the PNG version (should be less wide there, too), but the shield isn't really that important. Thank you for your cooperation. --Rosenzweig 19:11, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

not pd-ineligible. Possibly pd for other reasons -Nard 11:28, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This looks like it came from en-wiki. Can anyone see if there is a deleted version there, and what the license is/was? I would think this would be PD-user; it was originally just marked PD. Clothes are not copyrightable, but pictures of clothes are, so the photo itself still needs a valid tag. It's probably OK but we need to know who the uploader on en:wiki was, and what license they put on it. Carl Lindberg 05:28, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • It was simple {PD} when it was uploaded to en:wiki, and it was {PD} in use on Commons three years ago, too. I am not sure authors's name, I just copied the license tag from en:wiki to Commons. By the way, {PD-user-w} tag was created on 26.3.2005, and I've uploaded this photo four days before.
    The author was probably User:Dmn, look at this diff (filename Jumper.jpg I have changed to Jumper_sweater.jpg), and on his personal page w:User:Dmn/Images#Jumper.
    In my opinion, a guy who puts his sweater on the floor, shots a snap and personally marks it as PD - he consciously quits his copyright. You can change {PD-ineligible} to {CopyrightFreeUse} or whatever, but Keep. For me it is copyright-ineligible, I am afraid somebody plays copyright-game just to play a game. Read "Avoid copyright paranoia" first.
    I asked User:Dmn for his own comment here, I hope if somebody see query he will reassure. Julo 12:34, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I agree with that. Could you update it with a link to the original author? I changed the tag to PD-user-en, I agree now that the explanation has been given. -Nard 21:39, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • I would like user:Dmn to confirm himself, it would be the best. Just wait few days. I just reconstructed facts three years before. Julo 12:49, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • I think an admin can go look at the old, deleted text and find out. The en-wiki version was deleted in July 2006 because it existed on commons. The commons version with the same name was just deleted a couple of weeks ago because it was a duplicate of this one.

Thanks for helping! I just noticed we had {{FOTWpic}} and it has been in use for awhile now. So maybe we should put that on the heavily used ones and wait a little to delete them. I got busy yesterday, so I'm just starting to look into it but you raise an interesting question. I guess some are ok if the PD claims are true. It just depends if they added enough for it to be eligible for copyright. I'm not an expert in this field so I'll probably just leave those for someone else ;) Another thing, see es:Wikipedia:Autorizaciones/Banderas de Jaume Ollé. We may have permission for some of them (not sure if it's for eswiki only or not). Rocket000 22:04, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Licensing is OK. Authorization was asked on behalf of both eswiki and dewiki, but properly stating GFDL. Therefore, Ollé's pictures are OK. --Ecemaml talk to me/habla conmigo 17:44, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some deleted. Fortunately, there were not as many as I thought. Images that had PD claims (e.g. {{PD-UA-exempt}}) and images by Jaume Ollé were kept. Images that had more than a couple uses and no obvious replacement were tagged with {{FOTWpic}} and are located in Category:FOTW images. These will soon be deleted also. There may be a few more out there that got overlooked but there's really no need for this DR to remain open. Rocket000 00:05, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All images in Category:Billet drapeau

edit

All images in Category:Billet drapeau are marked as {{patent}}, which is nonsense. The images do not display patents, they display French banknotes printed during WW2 in USA. There might be some reason they could be PD, but the reason is not stated anywhere, so I have to assume they are, in fact, copyrighted. --Mormegil 16:25, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As I have said: the images are marked plain wrong. If you say they are works of U.S. government (which seems strange to me, but I don’t have any knowledge in this topic, so maybe they are), they could be kept, but the license tags will need to be corrected.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Famousphotoche.jpg The painters permission does not overrule the photographer's rights. Polarlys 00:24, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, but the original photo is in the Public Domain for some years now. This was documented in the page of the photo within Commons. If you restore it, I will be glad to translate the explanatory text into English. --Jgaray 09:51, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

„Ley sobre Derechos de Autor de Cuba. La foto fue utilizada por primera vez en 1967. Se encuentra en el dominio público por Decreto Ley No. 156 de 28 de septiembre de 1994, modificatorio parcialmente de Ley No. 14 de 28 de diciembre de 1977, Ley de Derecho de Autor (Art 47) que establece que las fotos entran al dominio público 25 años después de su primera utilización. La foto fue publicada en 1967 y entró al dominio público el 1 de enero de 1993.“ --Polarlys 11:03, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Translation: „Copyright Law of Cuba. The picture was used for the first time in 1967. It is now in the Public Domain according to Executive Order Number 156 (28 September 1994), which is a partial modification of the Law Number 14 (28 December 1977), "Copyright Law". Article 47 states now that photographs enter the Public Domain 25 years after their first use. This photograph was published in 1967, and therefore in the Public Domain since 1 January 1993“

Since I did not write this original paragraph, just in case I took a look at the aforementioned Executive Order Nr. 156. It can be found here. The redaction of the paragraph I just translated could be better, but in essence it is simply right. According to the Cuban Law, photo's enter the PD 25 years after the first use (it can be discussed what "use" is, but I think "publication" is for sure a form of "use").
--Jgaray 14:40, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It may well be that the photo is PD in Cuba. But Cuba had also joined the Universal Copyright Convention (UCC) on June 18, 1957. The U.S. also was a member of the UCC. In Berne countries that were also UCC members, the photo would be PD only in countries that followed the en:rule of the shorter term for Cuban works. And for the U.S., I think it might depend on whether the photo was originally published with a copyright notice. Cuba has had a bilateral copyright treaty with the U.S. since November 17, 1903 ([189])... I have no idea what that treaty defined or whether it is still in effect. Lupo 14:17, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The E.O. 156 mentions that it is implemented just to comply with the Universal Copyright Convention you mention. But why does the photo need to comply with U.S. Copyright laws? Is that because the Commons servers are physically located in the U.S? I will appreciate it if you can clarify this. In such case, Commons is full of materials which are considered OK because they are PD in their countries, and might be not OK because they are not PD in the US! Furthermore, in that case, does it matter at all what the status of the works are in other countries than the US? As an example, many countries consider COA images ineligible for Copyright, but this might not be the case in the US. In such case, this images would also be subject of Copyright, no matter what the origin country claims... --Jgaray 22:33, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just see here. The rule at the commons is that a work must be freely licensed, or be PD in both the U.S. and the country of origin. Lupo 12:41, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, that's clear now. But I have been searching the web for more info about the bilateral treaty or any other applicable legislation, to no avail. I don't know what is the status in the US. What's next? --Jgaray 14:06, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Since Cuba signed the Berna Convention, and USA did it as well, all the Cuban pictures that are PD by Cuban law and Berne Convention, are also PD in USA. So, this drawing is with no dubt in public domain. Regards, --Roblespepe 21:52, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep If it is demonstrated this images is a derivate work from a copyrighted image, I shall of course agree with its immediate deletion.

The fact that both images are images derived from the same model does not imply one image is a derivattive image from the other one.
BTW I find utterly amusing discussing about copyright issues concerning a "Che Guevara" logo. It's goddam true that capitalism can and wants to make money from absolutely anything, from slavery to child prostitution to terrorism to revolution!

Henry Litolff is dead in 1891, see http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Litolff This picture is an unknown caricature when Litolff was about 30 years old... drawn near 1850.

I nominated it for speedy.

Although its not immediately obvious what it is, its a toy or part of a toy, and falls foul of the "toys are art criteria".

Copyrighted logo of Warsaw metro. Not ineligible for copyright. Herr Kriss 01:01, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please go to Category:Diagrams of railway symbols and delete everything there, because every image is copyrighted anyhow. I worked a lot to create some of this images (and they are used on many wikipedias) but if you, the commons-lawyers, think it is important to delete it, feel free to do so. I hope you feel better afterwards and that you can sleep well again.

An other possibility would be to add the {{Trademarked}} license, as i did now. But in the end it's your decision... Siegele Roland 13:26, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kept. Clearly ineligible! ChristianBier 13:20, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was kept by ChristianBier but I have reopened discussion. In my opinion it is not ineligible. On the contrary it's copyvio. So... Delete --Szczepan talk 22:34, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please read Commons:Licensing#Simple_design. When admins knowledge about such important copyright- & licensing issues is bad like yours, i'm sure, it would be good, to de-admin such admins. Admins should know copyright laws and licencing rules of the project. I want to know how you became an admin without knowing the own rules of Commons-Licensing. ChristianBier 23:34, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Christian, please {{be civil}}, derogating a fellow user, using a argumentum ad hominem, is hardly a way of discussing the issue with the image. I actually agree with Szczepan1990: the image is neither simple typeface nor a simple geometric shape and has certainly elements of originality. If it is not shown that such symbol is PD by any other reason, I also agree to Delete. Patrícia msg 18:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am civil. And sure, my comment was hard, but correct. I am sad about the misknowledge about copyright laws of some of the admins at commons. To identify a cd-cover as a copyright is easy, but for such decisions like this one here, please let some admins decide whether delete or keep, which have the special knowledge in simple designs and copyright laws and respekt their decisions. And when you think my decision is wrong, then first discuss with me, so that I can explain my decision. But reopen and a short comment on my userpage is not the way we should go. If an admin close a deletion request, first discuss with the admin, also If you are an admin too. ChristianBier 22:09, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(Ignoring the second ad hominem argument) In my humble, ignorant opinion about copyright, although the logo is itself composed by elements which are separately ineligible for copyright, the composition has elements of originality, as with the placement of the arrow on the letter M. I believe that same argument is used in logos such as the Fedex one (which is fair use on en.wikipedia). But I am indeed not a copyright expert; I still think I have a place as an admin in Commons, but you're welcome to disagree. Patrícia msg 10:18, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The image does not consist "entirely of information that is common property". It does contain original authorship in the shapes, selection and arrangement of its constituent elements, which go beyond standard fonts and simple geometric shapes. —LX (talk, contribs) 12:59, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To finish discussion in this case I would prefer to replace PD-ineligible with PD-Polishsymbol, because it's a company owned and directed by local Government. ChristianBier 14:21, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
BTW: To put an arrow, an "M" and a circle together does'nt make original authorship to the logo. Where does your knowledge came from? The arrangement of common shapes NEVER can give you original authorship to a symbol. When parts of a logo are free, their composition is free to. When I put 5 public domain pictures with overlays and shadows together, I never can put a GFDL or CC-by-Licence on this work. Maybe I have to engage a lawjer, but I will send the bill for his work to the foundation. Will be very sad, but if the laws were misinterpreted by lot of admins, thats the only way we can go. ChristianBier 14:27, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I may be wrong, but PD-Polishsymbol doesn't apply to company logos owned by Polish government. Even if it apply then it's not owned by Polish gov, but by Warsaw city (http://www.metro.waw.pl/page.php?id=14 - "Właścicielem spółki jest Miasto Stołeczne Warszawa.").

There's no information why this image should be public domain. Being in the possession of the Naval Historical Center does not automatically make it PD (at least not outside the US).

A photograph depicting a person who died in 1926 is very unlikely to be a users work. Therefore missing original author and source. ChristophT 10:52, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The entry is corrected to "public domain" - the picture out of any copyright today. The source is family heritage (Photograph belongs since 100 years to our family, we are direct descendants of the person). -- User:Sebastian_Claudius 28 January 2008

Imho the correct source would be something like: Photograph in my possession or Photograph is part of my personal collection. Just make clear that the photograph is your or your family's property. Anyway, you still have to state the author of this photograph, because the physical ownership of the photograph doesn't give you the rights on it. The copyright still belongs to the photographer. In german law it expires 70 years after the death of the creator. As you can see, it is essential to know the author to verify that the photograph is in the public domain. --ChristophT 10:53, 29 January 2008 (UTC) PS: I just saw that you placed it under GFDL.

There's no evidence that the author died 70 years ago and since the pogrom took place ~1940, it's highly unlikely that he did. It might be {{Anonymous-EU}} but that's also doubtful. 84.108.245.222 23:11, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment why would it be unlikely that he died 70 years ago? It's pure speculation! I agree it's also speculation to think he might have died before but there's no point thinking there's statisticly more chance that he died after! As for the {{Anonymous-EU}} I guess it doesn't apply since the source is Romanian... --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 08:27, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is the Romanian law - in Art. 7 it was stated that the rights for photografs stand for 10 years only from the date of the creation of the photo` this is true for photoes that were created before the year of the law, 1956. Thank you!Arie Inbar 17:04, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Does it apply to: 1) Romanian photographers? 2) photos of Romanian events? 3) photos first published in a Romanian media? ...... --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 22:42, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's a yes on all counts. Mind you, 10 years is the period of copyright for artistic photographs. Non-artistic photographs are only awarded a 5 year copyright period. As the photos were taken in the communist era, this law holds, and they were released into the public domain a very long time ago. Okedem 14:49, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This image is not used here on commons and I am not able to check the usage on other projects via checkuse right now. I don't see how this image would help to learn.

Furthermore I wonder if it is legal? I believe that if a person is pictured intentionally (like in a portrait) the pictured person has to agree to beeing photographed or to agree to the publishing of the image. Since the here shown person is dead I wonder if that is given. Furthermore I think that death is something one should respect and I don't think it moraly correct to picture dead persons without their agreement (logically given before their dead). I for example don't want to be seen dead and with a wound in my body. -- John N. (@ me) 19:31, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No proof for PD: http://www.wumingfoundation.com/english/biography.html#1 says: Luther Blissett's face was created by Andrea Alberti and Edi Bianco in 1994, by morphing old 1930's and 1940's portraits of WM1's great-uncles.

Source is a website, unassociated with Malcolm X, that merely "assumes" image is PD. No info on when or where this was first published, to establish if it is PD. Also, lack of real source info makes its accuracy (is it really him) uncertain. dave pape 21:24, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's very unlikely that Bel Ami's porn actors (at right: Sebastian Bonnet) visit the uploader's shower, two at a row. This is a copyvio.

I checked and you are right. He is not Sebastian Bonnet, he is Marc Vidal, always a Belami model. The second model uses the nom-de-porn "Josh Elliot". Both Belami porn actors.

I doubt that an official photo of a nazi politician from 1938 can be an "artistic work created by the United Kingdom Government ". Kam Solusar 10:45, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does "-" mean that they tried to find out who the author was, or just that they don't know? In 1938 he was foreign minister of Nazi Germany, so an official photo such as this IMHO wouldn't have been made by some random unknown photographer. --Kam Solusar 15:17, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This icon is not an original work, this is a copy of nintendo's copyrighted mushroom, as you can see [203], [204], [205].--81.250.178.70 17:27, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It's hardly an "EXACT copy" as you claim.[208] It is much less pixelated than [1] or [2], and the shape of the cap, the relation in size between the cap and stalk, and the size of the spots are all different. [3] is even more different in shape, size ratios, and spots. Also, all the actual Nintendo artwork and merchandise I can find looks much more like [3] (and, to a lesser extent, [1] or [2]) than these images. I also wonder if the idea of a cartoony spotted mushroom with eyes exhibits the necessary level of originality to be copyrighted as a general concept. Anomie 00:39, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It does not need to be "exact". The similitudes are pretty obvious as to make it derivative work. The shape is basically the same, the colors, the spot position, the eyes, relation between the head and the face, etc. The real question is whether it is original enough to be copyrighted (and if so, whether Nintendo owns the copyright to these images). -- ReyBrujo 00:57, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete This is not an exact copy, but this is a copy and it is used on the Nintendo projects and templates (see [209]) because of the likeness with the original Nintendo mushroom. See also the Nintendo star, obviously this is not an original work and this is not just "inspired by" the Nintendo copyrighted characters, but a copy and used as a copy on wikipedia.--Ryan258 17:48, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Just like Anomie said --Oren neu dag 18:50, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Keep but change. Change the spot positioning and colour to something that Nintendo doesn't use. Play it safe and change it a little. Though it is probably an irrelevant fact, but this image is used in a lot of places on Wikipedia and it would be beneficial to just change this image rather than replace it on every template and wikiproject. -- Tkgd2007 17:05, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I agree with Tkgd2007. This image is simply too widely used. And anyways, even if it is derivative, it can't possibly be a copyright violation because it is a simple mushroom with eyes on it. And it worst comes to worst, we could always change too look only like a mushroom. But whatever happens, this images has to be kept for obvious purposes as described above. --Haha169 01:01, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete While I do not at all disagree with the mushroom itself, it simply does not coorilate(I think you spell it that way) with all of Nintendo, only Mario. It hardly associates with things like The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, etc., Maybe an "N" or something.

Deleted. It may not be an exact copy, but the concept of a derivative is still there. giggy (:O) 05:08, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
