Pornography. This has no educational purpose. The Cleaner (talk) 18:45, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
Keep labeling a photo of a woman in a low-cut brassire where part of nipples are visible as "pornography" is an overly broad definition I think, and in any case not in itself a valid reason for deletion. Bad faith nomination by editor wishing to censor Commons. -- Infrogmation (talk) 19:27, 20 April 2010 (UTC)- Keep Absurd deletion request (from Afghanistan?); anyway, she got rid of the implants, see en:Carolina Gynning. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 21:57, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Derivative work of photograph. I am not sure the source photograph is uploader's "own work" too. Teofilo (talk) 07:49, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
I took this photograph of a polar bear at the cleveland ohio zoo. i photoshopped it. i use it as my online avatar across the entire internet. portraits throughout history have used different mediums. including mixed mediums. a caricature is also a portrait. this image is how i am visually identified across the internet. the background has been changed to red and the bear reduced to grey scale for graphic impact and easy recognition as a thumbnail. my portrait is a zoomorphism which i believe captures my personality. it is not a "head shot" and it is not a simple "photograph".--BoBoMisiu (talk) 05:44, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- Can you upload the original non-photoshopped polar bear picture ? You don't have to, but it would fit the collection at Category:Polar bears in zoos in the United States. Can you remember the date when the picture was taken ? Anyway this deletion request is withdrawn. Request withdrawn. Teofilo (talk) 06:25, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Withdrawn -- Deadstar (msg) 07:53, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Sculpture on mardi gras float in New Orleans USA. No FOP in USA. COM:FOP#United States Teofilo (talk) 07:59, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- Keep it's a photo of a parade. I still haven't found any evidence this sort of photo has ever been considered a real world copyright problem. The Library of Congress (the U.S. copyright repository) doesn't seem to think there's any problem with floats in photos of Mardi Gras parades, eg, File:ZuluHappyMonarchMGD2006CarolHighsmith.jpg a much more blatant example of a parade photo including a float with a "sculptural" element, is labeled by the Library of Congress as having "No known restrictions". -- Infrogmation (talk) 14:09, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- All that means is that the Library of Congress is not reliable when dealing with derivative works. See http://loc.gov/pictures/item/2010630001/ and compare with Commons:Deletion requests/Balmy Alley murals. Teofilo (talk) 05:57, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- Keep per Infrogmation. Decisions on Commons are very inconsistent, compare Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2008-12#Mardi Gras float and Commons:Deletion requests/File:Artcarfest in San Francisco.jpg. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 21:45, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Non-compliance with 18 U.S.C. § 2257 UAltmann (talk) 16:16, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- Please read 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and state that all requirements of the law are met. Please provide this statement in the file itself also. --UAltmann (talk) 22:37, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
It has not been seen so far by anybody, that 18 U.S.C. § 2257 states some requirements concerning explicit sexual conduct material, such as the duty to exactly verify and testify the legal age of the persons pictured. As long as this is not the case, the picture must be removed. This is not a moral discussion here, this is about law. --UAltmann (talk) 07:16, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- Keep. Could you please provide a link to that law? Sexual intercourse is not pornography. And that picture this can clearly be of educational value. I don't think that pictures of sexual intercourse are forbidden in the US. --PaterMcFly (talk) 08:34, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Nobody said pornography. Just enter '18 U.S.C. § 2257' at google.com . The law provides that records of the persons pictured must be kept and it must be testified that the persons pictured are of legal age for being pictured. It is not enough to state that the persons pictured are obviously adults, it must be testified with the picture in verifiable form. --UAltmann (talk) 23:35, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- Please read (f) (4) of 18 U.S.C. § 2257:
"It shall be unlawful...knowingly to fail to comply with the provisions of subsection (e) or any regulation promulgated pursuant to that subsection ... (4) for any person knowingly to sell or otherwise transfer, or offer for sale or transfer, any book, magazine, periodical, film, video, or other matter... which does not have affixed thereto, in a manner prescribed as set forth in subsection (e)(1), a statement describing where the records required by this section may be located, but such person shall have no duty to determine the accuracy of the contents of the statement or the records required to be kept..."

- Which attorney and for what reason this should not be applicable? The applicability is self-evident! I also dare say that this is not about education or any usefulness, but only about the indecent exposure of some users, which simply does not comply with the law cited. Please keep in mind that this is not a moral, but a legal issue. --UAltmann (talk) 22:28, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

- Yes, actually, there was a big discussion on the Village Pump about it. Mike Godwin is unconcerned, and there's been at least one court case overturning it.--Prosfilaes (talk) 14:27, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
- Could you please cite the court decision, once it has been published? Did this decision concern this image or did it concern the law itself? --UAltmann (talk) 22:40, 23 April 2010 (UTC) And, could you please provide a link to that discussion, if available? --UAltmann (talk) 22:43, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
- The 2008 6th Circuit Court of Appeals 2-3 decision that 18 U.S.C. § 2257 is unconstitution in the case of a certain set of swingers videos was overturned by the same court in 2009.

A drawn picture would have been much better. Let wikipedia be a tool that everybody in the world should enjoy using. The picture is definately porn. Nothing of good value that I see is good for the world that want to learn. otherwise Wikipedia should have some pages with age restricts and if possible some countries should be able to filter information to only allow what is valued in their country. Please do not support porn on public educational sites. heri 00:24, 27 April 2010

- Keep. Good quality image of vaginal intercourse. We do have images of erect and ejaculating penisses and of open vulvas but no examples showing the interaction of both in a natural act of procreation. Hence it is clearly educational. Still it can be looked as being erotic but clearly not pornographic (this classifcation must come from people that have only seen such images in porn magazines which they hide in the back of their drawer). In Wiki it clearly has educational value as it simply depicts an act of joy, affection and love between two human beings. 212.27.185.253 09:47, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Moreover, in the 2257 Regulations, I think paragraphs c4ii, c4iii and c4iv may exclude Wikimedia. So I'd say

- Educational value? If you wanted to use such material for education, why don't you go ahead and buy porn for your kids. Would be practically the same! For kids, this material is shocking and offensive, therefore it can't be educational in any way! People here seem to believe that WC is a sphere free of law, but it definitively is not. The way this picture is made gives me the impression that this is taken from a porn site, so, we also have a copyright problem here. The file name alone indicates a closer relation to the porn scene than to education purposes. --UAltmann (talk) 08:06, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Comment The discussion is not whether this image is educational or not, but rather if it breaks the law or not.

- The discussion is about whether to delete this image, and you'll note that the proposer who brought up the legal issues also brings up the education issues. I think since Wikimedia does have a lawyer for this, we should follow the advice of him; when he says that we don't need to be concerned about a law, we should take that argument. He's the guy who's going to have to talk to the FBI if they call, after all.--Prosfilaes (talk) 16:37, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

- If it's not a moral issue, then I ask that you strike your statement that the exposure was indecent, since indecent is purely a moral word. The consistent behavior of this website is to not be concerned with this law, which has been found an unconstitutional violation of freedom of speech by a judge[1].

This is, why I say, that this is about conduct and not about speech here, therefore, the court's ruling quoted does not apply.

It´s simply a matter of politeness here not of public interest. The article would be quite sufficient and informative without a picture at all!

- Thank you. So the ticket has been found. I summarize for the people here : user is "affiliated" with USHMM, but the E-mail contains no permission or copyright statement. In my view, this action by this uploader does not constitute a valid Public Domain release of the properties of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (because {{PD-USGov}} expresses the view that the pictures were never protected by copyright law as federal employee's works). The question of one upload by user:Wiggum, and of the pictures with copyright ownership attributed to third parties is also very problematic. Teofilo (talk) 12:26, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

- All of the Buchenwald photographs uploaded by USHMM were done with the express permission of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. USHMM was acting on behalf of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. We purposefully preserved our captions exactly as vetted by the museum for online distribution. The Museum has worked hard to do everything it could to make these photographs, to which we retain rights, available to the public via Wikimedia. Please DO NOT delete these images. It is sad that one of our photographs has already been deleted. It is unclear how many times we will have to continue to explain this fact. Please tell me exactly what you need for the Museum to do in order to convince each new editor from trying to delete the photos which we uploaded. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.208.61.196 (talk • contribs) 20 April 2010 20:53 (UTC)
- What is needed is not merely a permission to upload. Because Wikimedia requires the contents to be freely licenced. So a licencing agreement must be confirmed by E-mail by every copyright owner whenever the uploader is not the photographer himself.
- Please send an E-mail similar to COM:OTRS#Declaration of consent for all enquiries, including a detailed list of every picture intended for for free use, for anybody, including commercial use, and whose copyright is owned by the museum, to the address mentioned at the top of COM:OTRS.
- The E-mail must also contain a statement regarding the copyright ownership of text, and a free licencing agreement (including commercial use) for the texts whose copyright is owned by the museum.
- For pictures whose copyright is not owned by the museum (including those marked as "Copyright: Agency Agreement" on ushmm.org), please get in touch with the copyright owners and ask them to send separate E-mails.
- Less urgent, but quite helpful, would be to reach the webmaster of the ushmm.org website, asking him to mention the free licences below each picture on the ushmm.org website itself. The terms of the ushmm.org General Disclaimer should also reflect the fact that the freely licenced items are available to anybody for any kind of use, including commercial use. If the museum has lawyers, the lawyers of the museum should help to find the appropriate wording of the new terms of use. You can't at the same time come here and tell us the pictures are available for commercial use, and on your own website say that they aren't : it is schizophrenic.

All deleted, except those that are likely {{PD-USGov}}. I do not doubt that USHMM is affiliated with the museum, but the museum does not hold the copyright to most of these images.

Design on flying (landing) airplane. No FOP for non permanently located or bidimensional art in Canada. See COM:FOP#Canada Teofilo (talk) 07:30, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- Hmm... I'd say this mostly pictures the aircraft, and not the tail. --PaterMcFly (talk) 11:21, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- That tail must be notable and conspicuous enough. Otherwise the uploader would not have written "Tail art: Polar bear cubs "Klondike" and "Snow"" in the description, (and I would not have found the picture while reviewing the polar bear pictures). Teofilo (talk) 09:19, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- Fine, so why not just remove that text from the infobox? Deleting this photo seems overkill and silly. --Makaristos (talk) 22:21, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- I would further question why there is no discussion of any other photos of Frontier Airlines's planes on Commons; under this particularly narrow interpretation of FOP, they might all qualify as "reproductions". This is absurd on its face. These are photographs of airplanes, nothing more. --Makaristos (talk) 21:56, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
- Airplanes do have the habit of not standing at one location for very long. So we'd probably have to ask whether applying canadian law is actually the right thing to do. --PaterMcFly (talk) 17:51, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
- Delete It's catch 22 -- since already we have around 200 photos of Airbus 319s, the only reason to keep this photo is for the tail art, and that reason requires deletion. Our casebook says,
- "If the vehicle carries an original painted design, there will be copyright in that design even though there is no copyright in the 3D shape. Unless the design is insignificant enough to be ignored, a photograph of the vehicle may not be uploaded without the designer's permission."
- The tail art here is not insignificant.
- As for choice of law, PaterMcFly raises a good point, but as Frontier is a US airline and the US and Canadian law are the same on this subject, the point is moot.
- Finally, yes, we should delete other Frontier tail art, such as File:FrontierA319.jpg. . . . . Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs) 14:47, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

This mugshot image is non-free. Copyrighted by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. It is not PD-USGov as claimed. Polpo (talk) 16:34, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- KEEP. You are INCORRECT. It is *NOT* "non-free" (and honestly, what does that mean anyway? If you're going to use such NONsense please define your terms). It has been released to the press and the public for public use and is no different than HUNDREDS of other California Corrections mug shots, for example C. MANSON. Do you also propose to remove MANSON'S mugshot? All the other California Corrections mug shots? I also see that you have created your account specifically to contest this image. Please disclose your POV? Are you related to the subject? If the copyright citation needs to be changed, so be it, but removal is not warranted. =//= Proxy User (talk) 01:07, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- No need to get defensive. Please assume good faith. As for the meaning of "non-free", it is a common phrase on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons and means either not explicitly licensed under a free license or not in the public domain. Non-free images may be uploaded to Wikipedia, but not Commons. Please see Commons:Licensing for more information. As for the reason for my deletion request, I was under the impression that mugshots taken by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation were subject to copyright, as are many mugshots not taken by the federal government (see wikipedia:Template:Non-free mugshot and wikipedia:Template talk:Non-free mugshot). Release to the press of an image does not relinquish copyright. In this case, however, it looks to be that images created by the State of California are free. See Template:PD-CAGov and Wikipedia:WP:PDOMG#Template:PD-CAGov. I will mark any California Department of Corrections images I come across with the proper template. Note that if any other mugshots I came across were indeed non-free, I would have also requested their removal from Commons. Polpo (talk) 07:03, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
