[edit] Images of User:Gramoleros

A lot of the images uploaded by this user will never be used by any project, they are of low quality, without real descriptions and have no motives, which could be helpful for an encyclopedia. So I think we can delete them without losing something.

[edit] Image:Flag of Phyzech Republic.svg

According to the uploader, an SVG version of the flag of the Phyzech Republic. Alas, the w:Phyzech Republic doesn't exist, so I don't see how this fake flag could be useful to any Wikimedia project. User:dbenbenn 20:16, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

lol. Yes, it's fake. I've been using it on my user page on EN Wikipedia, where I claim to be from the Phyzech Republic, and for a while used it in my signature as a joke (Since other editors there have flags of wherever they're from in their signatures). I think it's also on my EN wiktionary user page. --Phroziac _. o º ^{O (mmmmm chocolate!)} 23:45, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Note, the uploader uploaded the same image four times; I deleted 3 with bad names, leaving the one linked above. I don't see any reason to delete this one. It's a reasonable member of Category:Male genitalia, which regardless of personal taste is an encyclopedic topic. User:dbenbenn 22:18, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

delete:

This image serves only the personal vanity of the uploader and should be deleted. It has no place in Wikimedia Commons, it is pornographic. I have no problems generally with pictures of penises, but they should be of better, scientific quality. This website should keep it's record clean, so as not to be banned because of unrestricted pornography on it. This picture is simply gross. Thank you. Longbow4u 19:34, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

keep:

From a scientific view, the quality of the image is not very good. OK. @Longbow4u: Would you please upload (your) better one? Thank you!

But, there have to be a picture of this natural fact. Fact, not pornographie. There are further image, of which I see no need for, but to demonstrate, that a penis is not only a tiny little peace of skin, but also a kind thing to be erected, gives informations to the viewer. 84.57.188.245 19:24, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

I have added the deletion tag to the image, and the deletion warning to the users page.

@Yug: not that deletion requests can be cosidered void if you fail to notifiy the uploader and tag the image. -- Duesentrieb^(?!) 19:44, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. There is nothing pornographic about this image, it is potentially useful to a wikimedia project, it is available under an allowed license (cc-by-sa-2.5), therefore there is no reason to delete it.

The map is copyrighted by The Finnish Maritime Administration. The report and the copyright information is available online here.

[edit] Image:Flag of Ontario.svg

There have been two versions of this file uploaded. The first was from the Sodipodi clipart library and thus public domain and OK for Commons. The second was uploaded by a user who claims that his version is Crown copyright of the Government of Ontario and only to be used for non-commercial uses. I would therefore like the second version to be deleted as it violates the Commons copyright licensing policy. The first version of it is alright and should be left online. David Newton 15:25, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

The uploader states that he drew the flag himself, and he added the {{PD-self}} tag. I don't know why he also added {{OntarioCopyright}}; I've removed it. User:dbenbenn 16:42, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

This is very odd. As I explained to DNewton, there is no reason to delete this image, merely to retag it. I merely uploaded an image I created (which is also the basis for the PNG file in current widespread use). My attempt at tagging the image I created as I did was to release it to the public domain but to also address any potential government copyright. I'm not claiming that my version is copyright per se: both might be. If anything: the prior version violates Wp licensing policy, since any real or perceived Crown copyright (by using jurisdictional flags and symbols, in accordance with their websites) was omitted from its Wp summary. Nonetheless, I apologise for any confusion. E Pluribus Anthony 04:21, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Heather ORourke at Disneyland.jpg

Heather O'Rourke was born in 1975 so no photos of her are public domain simply because of age. The photo comes from classicmoviekids.com who claim that most of the photos there are public domain. That may perhaps be true for photos published before 1968, not more recent ones. Thuresson 09:51, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

I am not positive that this image should be deleted. Why do you believe no photos of her are public domain because of age? Or do you think that those should not belong to the Commons? Adnghiem501 22:52, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

The Commons require a verifyable free license and that's not given with your image. --Denniss 00:41, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

why do you belive it is PD? Because it's black and white? Please read Commons:Licensing -- Duesentrieb^(?!) 01:18, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

No facts were given to this image except for User:Thuresson. Adnghiem501 02:21, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Right, delete per Thuresson. -83.129.9.114 03:02, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

I have noticed that a Wiki user, Yonidebest, uploaded he:Image:Heather ORourke at Disneyland.jpg (the same image from the Commons) to Herbew Wikipedia. Please notify the user there for deletion requests. Adnghiem501 07:45, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, as my name came up, I would like to clarify this: I dont remember uploading it, but I obviously did. and Obviously the deletion notice was not there. In any case, we in the Hebrew Wikipedia allow fair use. and Thus, this deletion of this image will not effect us. I changed the licence from PD to Fair Use on our page, just in case. Regards, Yonidebest 10:29, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

/me rolls eyes at the lack of a Commons for fair-use media and the idiotic duplicating of images to multiple wikipedias as a result. ¦ Reisio 23:10, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

As far as I understand "fair use", this image does not even fall under that clause. On the english wikipedia, people seem to just stick "fair use" on anything they want to use. -- Duesentrieb^(?!) 14:25, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Finally, Thuresson stated the truth. This image is not old enough to be public domain, but is still under copyright. However, classicmoviekids.com did not specify that the year when most of the images there were brought into the public domain. In fact, those were gotten from certain other places that perhaps are public domain, or possibly not. Regarding the black-and-white image, Heather O'Rourke was photographed at the Disneyland, possibly, when she was 11. That time could be determined in the year of 1987. We believe this image is only for fair use media and even not for the Commons. We should all agree this. There are Wikipedias in English, German, and Spanish that may still have used it in O'Rourke article. The deletion request for the image is highly recommended. Adnghiem501 02:37, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

However, classicmoviekids.com did not specify the certain dates that most of the images there had been released into the public domain. In fact, they were gotten from some other web sites that might or might not be public domain. (Sorry, this is only minor changes corrected for my grammar.) Adnghiem501 00:07, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

In this case, a PD license is given. However, it is doubtful whether this comes from the copyright holder as Tuaregue uploaded 7 images without licenses within 24 hours (see above). Perhaps this is the only exception but I think that we need a clarifying statement here regarding the source of this image. A similar image, however somewhat cropped in comparison is to be found at [3], just look for the entry titled maio 03, 2005. --AFBorchert 10:03, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

The user:Tuaregue apologises for the lack of information. Some of the images (maps) were uploaded from [4], the book covers were available in 2 different sites. The last image on the list was cropped by him, but the original source is still unclear. He didnt know about the need for permission and promisses he will be more careful in the future!

Too recents cartoons to be fallen in public domain. Petrus 21:44, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Until 1976, the copyright was only given for a 28-year period, renewable in the 28th year for a second 28-year period (see http://homepages.law.asu.edu/~dkarjala/OpposingCopyrightExtension/what.html ), so a lot of classic cartoons from the 1930/40ies falling in the PD in the 1960/70ies. Also some cartoons were never copyrighted by mistake. -- 84.133.207.61 00:01, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

They were nominated not long ago but not deleted because the process took too long (Aug 30-November 1 from first to last post). Here is info about the first photo:

I informed the photographer about this discussion. --Avatar 19:59, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

He answered: I can clear up the situation to some point: The picture was taken in Vienna, Austria and I don't have either of the girl's permission to publish it. Although it's common practice these days to publish photos on the Internet of anything and anybody I'm pretty certain that Austrian law does at least say that I'd have to take the photo down at the request of the portrayed girls. So, for Wikimedia Commons, it's probably out. --Avatar 23:58, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Fotopages is a service very much like Flickr.com. The users of Fotopages do not transfer their copyright to Fotopages, they still own the copyright.

These mostly do look like rather silly images, but according to en:Image:Krzyzyk ZHP.jpg and pl:Image:LilijkaZHP.jpg, they are all fine to be on Commons - legally, that is - unless there's some evidence that those two images are not PD & GFDL respectively, I see no immediate reason in deleting them (other than all but Image:Zhp bialy.jpg probably having no use and being generally ugly).

There is a reduced copy of en:Image:Krzyzyk ZHP.jpg on this page (which as of now appears to have been last modified today) at zhp.pl. They could've just used en.wikipedia.org's image, though; doesn't prove much. ¦ Reisio 18:37, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

According to this, Polish Scout Cross is trademark and it's not allowed to create any derivative. Also fleur-de-lis with ZHP sign is reserved P A L L A D I N U S talk 23:15, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Are you saying that Polish law doesn't allow for _any_ depiction or photograph of these symbols except when used by ZHP? For all we know ZHP may have had nothing to do with the creation of the two images these images are made from. ¦ Reisio 04:35, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

OK, one more time: fleur-de-lis with ZHP inscription, and scout cross with CZUWAJ inscription are trade marks of ZHP (Polish Scouting and Guiding Association). So any symbols which look like these (no matter who create it) are reserved. If you take a photo of it it's not allowed, but if you depict it as a part of biger scene it's OK.

Hi, picture is "free to use" from mtv-germany press service for presentation purposes, about the german nickelodeon channel. Sorry, I would have http://presse.nick.de/ indicate as resource. Could any person make an update and NOT delete this file? Thanks a lot! I have add copyright informations about the picture, now please not delete this file. ;-) DerDiesel 01:55, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Please read Commons:Licensing only fully free licenses are allowed, commercial use must be allowed --Denniss 01:08, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

I do not see where on the page where it gives us permission to use the logo. Since, Nickalodian is a US channel, owned by Viacom, we will have to get Viacom's permission to use the logo. But, the only way we can probably use the logo is "fair use" and fair use is not allowed to be used on the Commons. Zscout370 01:38, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

From DerDiesel: Hmm, wikimedia is very difficult. :-P You can see a lot of sites they use this logo, mtv networks germany has made this file available for news magazines, news portals, press sites etc. from their mtv networks germany press service. For example you see a lot of another tv-logos on tvmatrix.de, dwdl.de, spiegel.de or other sites. It is 100% excluded that mtv germany not allowed this picture, this file can be used if it is not changed from the original or used commercially.

Jimbo Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, mentioned that in May of 2005, we cannot use "non-commercial" images on Wikipedia or any of the sister projects belonging to the Wikimedia Foundation. From what you mentioned, the logo can only be used if the image is not altered or being used in a commercial publication. Becuase of this decree by Jimbo, the image that is being debated here should have to be deleted, due to it's nature of being a non-commerical images. Yes, I know the copyrights is our toughest problems, but if we can limit ourselves to only free-licensed photos, that will save us a lot of heartache in the end run. Zscout370 02:29, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

As said, images on the Commons must be free of any restrictions regarding derivative work or comercial use. These mentioned companies may be allowed to use the Logo or use the german Zitatrecht or something similar. --Denniss 02:23, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

DerDiesel says: So, I would think its the same problem how the german tv channel "ZDF" http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZDF in this case you can use the logo with this reason: "Dieses Bild hat nicht die nötige Schöpfungshöhe, um Urheberschutz zu genießen und ist daher gemeinfrei („public domain“). Bitte beachten Sie aber, dass sich die Gemeinfreiheit nur auf das Urheberrecht erstreckt und das Logo trotz der Gemeinfreiheit der vorliegenden Abbildung vermutlich durch das deutsche Markengesetz oder vergleichbare Gesetze rechtlich geschützt ist." I think for the german Nick-Channel valid the same rights about "logo rights" and we can use the channel logo with the same reference you can see by the "ZDF" or the "ZDF-Logo" must be also deleted.

(Faced an edit conflict) Since I cannot read German, I decided to have Babelfish translate the template you mentioned: "This picture does not have the necessary creation height to enjoy over copyright protection and is in common-free therefore ("public domain"). Please you note however that itself the common liberty only to copyright extended and the Logo is legally protected probably despite the common liberty of the available illustration by the German mark law or comparable laws." So, let me make sure I am on the same page here: because of it's lack of originallity, the image is in the public domain? But despite this "public domain" status, it still has some legal protects? While I have no control of what takes place at the German Wikipedia, if the logo you are using is only for the German Wikipedia article, why not we move the image there and we should figure something out. While I come from the US school of thought, and logos are usually copyrighted in the US, but IANAL, let alone IAMAG, so I think we should discuss it more and bring in some people familiar with German copyright rules. Zscout370 03:11, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

DerDiesel says: So, I have writed an email to the german mtv networks and asked for a permission to use the picture. We will see, I think its no problem, the "ZDF" was also no problem why then NICK? :-? I post here the answer from mtv and edit the copyright informations about the picture and hope nobody delete the file. Good night (Here is it 4.05 morning :-?) I go sleep. :-) PS: Whats releay funny its this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Television_logos Hehe, delete delete... :-P PS 2: The english-version of the nickelodoen article contains also a logo, with NONE copyright informations. So I wait for an answer from mtv and hope this topic is settled!

Uh, why? All these images seem to be original work of the uploader (and most are even pretty good). Please at least give a reason for your deletion request, so it can be disputed.

I guess that you mean that those images infinge on the copyright of some manga artists or such... that may or may not be the case, depending on how close the paintings resemble copyrighted characters. If these images are basically pencil renderings of comic-book pages, then it's definitely a copyvio. If They are only loosely based on the comic, the situation is more complicated. -- Duesentrieb^(?!) 01:12, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

also, in a situation like this, it would have been nice to talk to the artist first... he's contributing a lot of work to the community here. I belive that should be appreciated, even in case some of the images should turn out to be copyvios. -- Duesentrieb^(?!) 01:15, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Ich glaubte die Situation sei auch ohne große Erklärung eindeutig. Es handelt sich hier um Eigenwerbung eines Künstlers (oder eines Users, der ein Künstler werden möchte). Wikipedia ist sicher keine Galerie, in der sich junge Künstler profilieren können. -- ArtMechanic 01:44, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

(ArtMechanic belives the uploader is misusing the commons to advertze his work)

Those images seem to be usable in an encyclopedic context, to illustrate articles about comic books/manga, and about drawing, for example. This is especially good because free pictures about that are hard to come by. I see no advertizing aspect, although the (broken) homepage link on the description pages makes me frown (it does nto seem to lead to anything related to the pictures). -- Duesentrieb^(?!) 10:13, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Before deciding on deletion, could we get references for all of the images? I recognize Berserk, Hellsing and Alita, but I don't know if the rest is copyvio or not. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 06:25, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

I can assure you these images are all mine, made with either a pencil or a pen during my spare time; and I though that it could have been be a good idea to release them under a free license. I really don't see the reason for a deletion, if you believe they should be deleted please provide a valid argument, in English if possible, I am a de-0 level ^___^ [[11]].

I don't think there is copyright infringement, also because they are all inspired or based on mangas, not a 1:1 copy.

As for the homepage question I updated the site, and I fixed the relative link.

In fine, to answer ArtMechanic's comment, these images are not here to be advertised, if I wanted to I could have just uploaded them on DeviantArt.

This picture is not useful, and is also nasty; it should be deleted. Adnghiem501 01:33, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep. You might not like it, but w:Human feces is encyclopedic, so a photograph of it is useful to an encyclopedia. This photo isn't great, but it seems like the only one we have. User:dbenbenn 04:04, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:CellMembraneDrawing.jpg

Excellent drawing for a cell biology article. It's from a 1985 issue of Scientific American and later found its way to a US government website. Deleted from English Wikipedia, see Image talk:CellMembraneDrawing.jpg and en:Image talk:CellMembraneDrawing.jpg. Thuresson 08:01, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

The original source, linked at Image:CellMembraneDrawing.jpg, does not say the image is non-free. Is there any proof the image is non-free? I'll vote keep until confirmed the image was not created by a U.S government emplyee in their duty. Someone would need to check the article in Scientific American (1985), claimed to be drawn by Dana Burns:

Bretscher M.S. The molecules of the cell membrane. Scientific American, 1985, 253(4), 100-108 ".

Otherwise, I think we should trust The NIST Center for Neutron Research, and avoid further copyright paranoia. / Fred Chess 17:22, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

At a closer look, the reason for deletion from enwiki probably was that the image can be found on commons - it is still used in the article en:Cell membrane. / --Habj 10:24, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Can someone find the note at the NIST web page, that says that all images are PD except images labelled as copyrighted? I have tried, but failed. / --Habj 10:30, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

The information on the image descrption page is accurate. you can read it on [13]. / Fred Chess 05:44, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

• I'll try and find time to check this in a hardcopy, though I suspect that it is indeed non-free. I don't think it is "copyright paranoia" to nominate something for deletion which is clearly scanned in if someone is willing to provide a fairly strong reason to think it is non-free, but anyway, I'll try to find time to look it up next week. --Fastfission 20:51, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I've checked the magazine, and I see the problem as nearly solved. The article is on pages 86-90, not 100-188; the rest of the information is correct. The list of illustrations on page 5 in the magazine mentiones Dana Burst as the source of images on page 88 - 90. Dana Burst might have be been a NIST employee when she made this drawing, or not - we don't know. The note on the NIST page does not state that the material on the site is not copyrighted; it says With the exception of material marked as copyrighted, information presented on these pages is considered public information and may be distributed or copied. Use of appropriate byline/photo/image credits is requested.

Alas, do we have a "copyrightedfreeuse"-like template that says that the image should be credited? If not, I think we should make one. // Habj 13:28, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

I changed the PD tag to "Copyrighted free use provided that|appropriate credit is given". // Habj 19:29, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
