[edit] Image:Dartelaar.jpg

It's an image of myself that is outdated and only very few users use their own image in their userpage. Hey, this IP_number is mine, I forgot to login before the deletion request. As far as I am aware of it is/was only used on my own user page on the nl.wikipedia.org. --Dartelaar [schrijf me!] 17:02, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Inauguración_Copa_América_2007.jpg

Again, my Spanish is a little rusty, but it doesn't look like the author explicitly approved copyrighted free use by anyone for any purpose. The source is still labelled "all rights reserved". LX (talk, contribs) 19:31, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep. The problem is that a "normal person" who doesn't know about licenses doesn't explicitly answer with "Yes. I agree that my pictures will be used for any purpose and for anyone." In the first message, I explain him about that and he accepted. Besides, Flickr doesn't allow to licence "Copyrighted but permission to free use", it's a CC licence or "All the rights reserved". And the author has the right to don't licence as CC if he doesn't want. --B1mbo 19:48, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Well, then you should write back and explain that they need to explicitly grant permission. If they haven't understood that they need to explicitly state a license, we can't assume that this was their intention or that they have understood the consequences of their response. If they did in fact intend for anyone to be able to use the image for any purpose, including commercial purposes, it should not be that hard to get them to reply with a statement to this effect. LX (talk, contribs) 19:58, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
  • I've done that. I hope he could answer very soon. --B1mbo 20:06, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
  • I have his answer: Ok, bueno espero que esta vez si funcione, Si autorizo el uso de mis fotografias para cualquier proposito y por cualquier persona, tambien puedes utiliar otras imagenes con las mismas condiciones que la anterior. (I hope this time it works. I authorize the use of my photos for any purpose and by anybody, you could also use other images with the same conditions of the first one) --B1mbo 17:22, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Good stuff. Please forward that to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org according to the instructions at Commons:OTRS. I'll close the deletion request and change the {{delete}} tag to {{otrs pending}}. LX (talk, contribs) 18:04, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flag of Lewis

This has been demonstrated to not be the flag of Lewis. It is an internet hoax only. Details can be found here. Note, on first glance, the website seems to confirm the authenticity of the flag, but read in full to see it is clearly demonstrating it to be false. -- MacIomhair

¡¡¡Gtk-ok.svg!!! Strongly support for above reasons. The fact the images are here are leading people on other language wikis with a lesser grasp of English to conclude the image exists, so the flag is real. I have seen some say they'd accept it as a fake only if removed from commons. MRM 16:44, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Symbol support vote.svg Support I only did the svg version (I think it "is" nice flag), maybe we should use it as example of hoax. -xfi- 19:43, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

While I think an example of a hoax would be a good idea, you wouldn't believe the bother its presence here has caused in other language Wikis! ;-) Perhaps a single graphic of it and other Hebridean 'flags'?MRM 20:32, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] All files under Category:Triangle Factory fire

not necessary in PD, there is no statement insist that is in PD. In fact, use rama's formula: 1911 + 90(assume the photo taker dead when he was 100 years old and took this when he was 10) + 70 = 2071, then this photo may be in PD until 2071.

[edit] Image:Marcador_cierre_Teletón_2006.jpg

My Spanish is a little rusty, but that looks like a Wikipedia-only permission. LX (talk, contribs) 19:29, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

My english is a lot rustier too, but i think it roughly translates as: "Author rights, permision granted by the author for reproduction on Wikimedia Commons, granting use for any purpose". the preceding unsigned comment is by 200.72.224.21 (talk • contribs) 00:38, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Symbol keep vote.svg Keep. Just like in the case of the photo of Copa América. When you ask to a normal person if they want to release the images and you explain to them all about the policies (commercial use, derivative, etc.) they say just "ok". I know I should have say to them about an explictly use... but if you say all the stuff and the answer is "ok", it's because they agree with what you're saying. It's different if you say "could we use your image for Wikipedia" and you don't say anything about commercial use, for example. In any case, I send another mail to the author asking for an explictly answer. --B1mbo 02:53, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
...or it's because they haven't understood and they think that they are only giving permission to Wikimedia (which is all they're actually doing). Unfortunately, we can't just make up licenses based on what we wish the author intended. LX (talk, contribs) 05:57, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Right, that would be Wikimedia-only. There's no mention that anyone can use it for any purpose. LX (talk, contribs) 05:57, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

This is a screenshot of a copyrighted computer game or video game, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the company that developed the game. User:Captain Scarlet 19:39, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

And if i gererate the image with my SolidWorks, it is copyrighted by SolidWorks Corporation? And if it is shown via my Microsoft Operating System it is copyrighted by Microsoft? And if it is processed via my Eizo digital flat screen, it copyrighted by Eizo? Wrong, this is work, and it is shown with a tool, thats all. -- Stahlkocher 18:21, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

You're mising the point. If you create an image, say a Jpeg from Photoshoshop, the image is yours. If you take a screenshot in a game, simulator or in a software, then it isn't. Captain Scarlet 17:43, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
Now i understand your misunderstanding: The user did create the data for displaying the image. Therefor it is his modell, data and his work. There is no doubt. The graphicengine displaying the work must not been considered. Hope this clears the case. Happy Christmas! -- Stahlkocher 14:44, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep Well documented lifes of non notable ancient people may be useful as a good example, i.e.: articles about aging, death certificate, clothes circa 1900, family life in the USA and so. All images should be properly categorized (they aren't categorized), and maybe user subpages are not the best place to keep biografies (this biografies are useful for giving context to photos).--Pere prlpz 13:11, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
That’s Wikimedia Commons, uploading whole family biographies is pure abuse. We are no free web storage. Of course there is always the possibility to add a dubious context: upload some of your family photos, the pyramids of Giza in the background, your family in the foreground and proclaim a use to illustrate an article on holiday culture of American families. --Polarlys 14:21, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
I would agree to you if these photos were easy repoductible present day family photos, or if we had other similar biographies.--Pere prlpz 14:35, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

    • I am the copyright inheritor, yes. As you well know, a negative is not required to claim a copyright, although I do have the original slides or negatives. How does any uploader prove ownership of any photo? How does Corbis claim copyright on its historical collection, and the Library of Congress and New York Public Library also claim the same image? Who is the copyright holder of my high school photo? Me, who paid for it? The company that was hired by the school, or the man who composed the image? Whenever you want something deleted, just bring up the smoke and mirrors of this argument and demand proof of copyright, and since no legal document exists like a patent, you delete. How does the owner of any of the featured photos prove they are the copyright owner? If they are professional photographers their employer may also make a claim if they were on company time, or using company equipment. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 06:03, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
      • Sometimes people admit they are not the actual heir. I wasn't trying to get smoke and mirrors, merely asking for a reasonable assertion of copyright. Your assertion seems reasonable. -N 16:30, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

There are plenty of other projects in the Internet you can use for such a purpose, like Flickr and others.

It would be good if someone from ja.wiki could look into this and tell us if the sockpuppetry had anything to do with copyvio issues, to establish (or not) a confidance basis here.

[edit] Image:SibeliusMonument.jpg

as per Commons:Freedom of panorama#Finland. 25 June 2007 User:Dilaudid

The monument is IMO a work of art, and this law says that it does not extend to works of art. -- Cecil 12:06, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
The article 25a of the Finnish copyright law permits panorama freedom for buildings, both exteriors and interiors. This, however, does not extend to works of art (other than architecture) which are located in public places. They cannot be commercially published when they constitute the central element of the picture.
I think it means that freedom of panorama does not extend to works of art.  :-( So, sadly, {{delete}}. Ben Aveling 18:29, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I am Didier from St Sulpice sur Tarn (81 Tarn - France) and i am contributing on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Dd and specially about rugby union; i want to put your images, bouquins like this one http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Rugby_ST.F-ST.T_27022007-4.JPG or that one http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:1906_Springboks.jpg

Wikimedia Commons is a media repository that is created and maintained not by paid-for artists, but by volunteers. Its name "Wikimedia Commons" is derived from that of the umbrella project "Wikimedia " managing all Wikimedia projects and from the plural noun "commons" as its contents are shared by different language versions and different kinds of Wikimedia projects. Thus it provides a central repository for freely licensed photographs, diagrams, animations, music, spoken text, video clips, and media of all sorts that are useful for any Wikimedia project.

Wikimedia Commons uses the same wiki-technology as Wikipedia and thus everyone can edit it easily and without advanced technical skills directly in the web browser. Unlike media files uploaded on other projects, files uploaded to Wikimedia Commons can be embedded on pages of all Wikimedia projects without the need to separately upload them there.

Launched on September 7, 2004, Wikimedia Commons hit the 1,000,000 uploaded media file milestone on 30 November, 2006 and currently contains 1,575,320 files and 62,606 collections (numbers in English notation). More background information about the Wikimedia Commons project itself can be found in the General disclaimer, at the Wikipedia page about Wikimedia Commons and its page in Meta-wiki.

Unlike traditional media repositories Wikimedia Commons is free. Everyone is allowed to copy, use and modify any files here freely as long the source and the authors are credited and as long as users release their copies/improvements under the same freedom to others. The Wikimedia Commons database itself and the texts in it are licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. The license conditions of each individual media file can be found on their description pages. More information on usage conditions...

Symbol keep vote.svg Keep The painter, Lauritz Tuxen, died 1927. The painting itself was done in 1885. I would say the painting is {{PD-old}}. AFAIK, Russian copyright law has always considered only creative works to be eligible to copyright. (The Hermitage is located in St. Petersburg, Russia.) That has been a constant since Tsarist times, throughout the Soviet copyright legislation, and also in the modern Copyright law of the Russian Federation. I don't know for sure, but I would think that this means that a simple photographic reproduction would not be eligible to copyright in Russia, and hence {{PD-Art}} applies to the image. Lupo 07:52, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment Note that the conditions of use of the Hermitage Museum do place restrictions on their images, though. (Although they do not claim copyright...) Lupo 07:52, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Authors or copyright holders shouldn't place restrictions according to Ru-Law (Article 9, point 1), the image is copyrighted as default. They can place restrictions manifestly, but they shouldn't. Alex Spade 16:08, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Symbol keep vote.svg Keep The status of PD-art in Russia is unclear (there aren't any judicial precedents). But until the wikimedia/wikipedia servers will haven't appeared in Russia, this image is PD-art accordind to article 5 of Russian copyright law - Russian law is defend the copyrights in other country if such defend is possible in in accordance with law of respective country only. Alex Spade 11:12, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment I don't think that reasoning works. The photo was surely taken by a Russian and first published/disclosed in Russia on the web site of the Hermitage, so it would appear to be covered by Russian copyright law, §5.1(1) and §5.1(2)[10]. Paragraphs §5.3 and §5.4 apply only to foreign (i.e., non-Russian) works, but I think this photo is a Russian work. Lupo 11:28, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Repeat in other words.
  • This copyright work may be (or may be not) defended at Russia, but not in USA. The US-law and Germany/Austria/Switzerland-law are above Rus-law on respective territories.
  • For another example...
  1. In Germany all logos are trivial works and uncopyrighted, but not in US. Therefore for de-wiki we must upload such images to de-wiki, not to commons (because, they have got own servers).
  2. In Russia all flags and coats are uncopyrigted, but not in US. Therefore we can upload only Russian flags and coats to commons and cann't upload others as free images to ru-wiki because we haven't own servers.
  3. In some countries the machine works: tomograms, separate sattelite images (until integration), shots from static and automatic (but not automatized) camera are uncopyrighted (they are not creative labour), but not in US. Alex Spade 11:53, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Alex, we're not trying to circumvent some countries' laws by capitalizing on the server location. COM:L clearly says that works hosted here as PD must be PD in the source country and in the U.S. The source country in this case (of the photo, not the painting) is Russia. I personally think it's reasonable to consider PD-Art applicable in Russia, but it'd be better if we had some basis for this beyond my personal belief. Are you sure there were no "threshold of originality"/"faithful reproduction" cases in Russia (or maybe the Soviet Union)? Does Gavrilov in his commentary on the 1993 law say anything about this? Lupo 12:10, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
No. We are trying. If we want to follow the condition both source country and the US totally and precisely - the next step must be disscussion about deletion of some of Non-Russian photos of Russian PD-2D-image (image is PD, but its photo isn't). Alex Spade 08:07, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Why? If it's a non-Russian photo, it was neither taken by a Russian nor first published in Russia. But we'd have to consider whether the Russian 2D painting would also be PD in the other country. Isn't that fun? (*Not*.) Lupo 08:33, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
You hadn't undertoond me. In Russian Law copyright is being accrued by creating (making), not publishing - see Article 9.1 and 6.1. And it is being accrued regardless of nationality - see Article 5.1.1.
I will try to explain my conception on example.
American have been photographing the Image:Claude Monet 009.jpg at w:Pushkin Museum. This painting is PD. Its photo is PD in American, but it is copyrighted as default in Russia - because it was made in Russia and it is unimportant where it had been or will be published - and the photographer must permit the free use and etc. Alex Spade 12:05, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Hmmm. Yes, copyright is vested in the author upon the creation of the photo. But: $5.1(1): a work is subject to Russian law only if published in Russia or existing there in objective form, or if the work was made by a Russian (§5.1(2)). Otherwise, it's a foreign work and copyrighted in Russia according to international treaties (§5.1(3)). According to the Berne Convention, the country of origin is the country of first publication, or, if unpublished, defined by the nationality of the photographer. So, when the American tourist takes the photo, it is subject to Russian law as an unpublished work (Author is American, it's unpublished, and exists in objective form within Russia—§5.1(1).) If the American tourist then publishes his photo in Russia, it becomes a Russian work and Russia is the source country. If he leaves Russia without having published the image, §5.1(1) doesn't apply anymore (the photo doesn't exist in Russia in objective form), only §5.1(3) applies. If he then publishes the photo elsewhere, that country is the source country. If he doesn't publish it at all, the country of origin is the U.S. In the latter two cases, Russian law doesn't enter into consideration, since we look only at the source country of the photo and the U.S., and the painting is PD anyway. Lupo 12:43, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Let's take this our talk pages, ok :-)? It's becoming off-topic. We both agree to keep the image, and the basic question for this image here is actually whether PD-Art is applicable. Lupo 12:43, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Cool_Globe_Chicago_Skyline.JPG

This photo is derivative work of a copyrighted sculpture. Such sculptures are not covered by freedom of panorama laws in the US JeremyA 22:26, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Please explain more about this to a novice user. If the artwork is mounted in public, and part of a public exhibition, then how can photographs taken of it be not be free use. Does the local newspaper have to receive permission to publish a photo? This photo was taken to illustrate the cool globes page on Wikipedia. How could an article about cool globes ever be illustrated by a photo with this restriction? Would this restriction still be in place if more than one globe was in a photo?--I'm nonpartisan 03:54, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

In many countries, including the US, copyright law covers artworks in public space. You can take pictures, but you cannot publish them. Please read Commons:Freedom of panorama to know more. You might consider using your pictures as Fair Use and upload them on the English-speaking Wikipedia, which allows Fair Use. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 15:17, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Just to expand a little of what Jastrow said. Publication of a photo like this to illustrate a news story would be considered fair use under US copyright law. Likewise the English Wikipedia (and some others) allow the publication of unlicensed copyrighted content under the fair use provisions. However, the images on the commons must be either free from copyright or freely licensed by the copyright holder. In the case of a photograph like this there is more than one copyright holder to consider. You, as the photographer, have agreed to freely license your photograph. But the owner of the copyright of the globe has not agreed to freely licence reproductions of his/her artwork.
Most countries have a provision in copyright law that allows publication of photographs taken in public spaces that include, for example, buildings whose design is copyrighted; and in some countries these laws extend to artworks that are permanently installed in public spaces. However, in the US artworks are not included in these 'freedom of panorama' laws and so artworks that are publicly exhibited are treated exactly the same as those that are privately exhibited.
To see an example of how a Wikipedia article on a sculpture can be illustrate using 'fair use' images see the article w:Spindle (sculpture) that I started working on a few days ago. I have included in this article a photograph that I took, but which I have published under a claim of fair use (click on the image to see the fair use claim). —JeremyA 18:54, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Symbol keep vote.svg Keep Although I agree the Cadorna station should go, after Ms Aulenti revamped it, and although I self-nominated scores of pix of mine for deletion, I doubt this particular pic represents a detail that could pass the "threshold of originality" test.

It seems to me that there's no firm evidence of who the original copyright holder was, or that this picture has ever been formally published with the copyright holder's consent. William Avery 10:09, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep likely published before 1923, looks like stock photography/news agency photos. Madmax32 03:08, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
But they don't own the copyright on that image, they say it is from the FDR library, which is a public domain library, besides it was taken in 1911 by a stock photo agency (Brown Brothers founded in 1904 and still exists) and since it was published before 1923 it is public domain. Madmax32 00:43, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Anyways, we need a firm source to prove that this is a PD image (to be put in the image description page), no matter it really is PD or not. But, unfortunately, I'm unable to find the image out from the Library or the Brown Brothers websites. --Moonian 12:52, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Transylvania.png

Map is missleading. The area is stretched over the region of Banat which is not part of Transylvania. Either correct it or delete it. (From the talkpage: This is a false map as it includes the Banat region, which is quite a distinct region. This is part of the Cluj current of thought, which, for political goals, insists that Transylvania includes Banat as well. This current of thought is not recognised as such, especially in Banat, where there is opposition and rage at the continous bias. The regions are both distinct and have had quite a distinct history. There is no scientific ground on which one can allege that Banat is part of Transylvania. To source this statement, it is enough to read the articles about the two. --User:Radufan 14:37, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Asimov portraits

This is a photo from the LOC's New York World-Telegram & Sun collection; the first version is here, while the source link on the second is broken. The catalog record states "No information on creator or on reproduction rights found with the image, 1995"; the image is not known to be in the public domain. (Also, PD-USGov would be the wrong tag even if we had a valid license for it.) grendel|khan 14:31, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

The Library of Congress is the repository of records for US copyrights. If they can't find "information on creator or on reproduction rights", I assume there was no renewal of copyright. I suggest keeping with a retagging as {{PD-US-no notice}} -- Infrogmation 17:03, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
That tag is almost certainly not valid for this use; the World-Telegram & Sun collection consists of newspaper photographs; newspapers tend to have copyright notices on their mastheads. Unless you can find the issues where these were originally published, note that they belonged to the newspaper, and show that the newspaper didn't publish a copyright notice in that issue, the tag isn't valid. grendel|khan 02:56, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Keep the pictures. They are so old... The copyright protection cannot last more than halfcentury. It is part of history of our planet. We should not delete the history. Domitori 23:40, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Your vote is based on a mistaken assumption. Certainly some copyrights last more than half a century. (Some photographers even live longer than that....) Such are the laws. Please read up at Commons:Licensing. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 23:52, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Copyright does not work like that; it's irrelevant how much we want to keep the image. It only matters whether or not the image violates the rules. These may be unfortunate rules, but we still have to follow them. grendel|khan 14:08, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't deny that the suchoj image was to a certain extent the starting point for my work, but that's all. Image:Su-37-Draft.svg is absolutely different from Su-37_01.jpg. The fundamental difference between a lossless scalable vector image and a bitmap graphic is IMHO relevant to this relationship. Because totally zero of Su-37_01.jpg is part of my work, it can’t be an edited version of that bitmap graphic. And if it's not an edited version, it’s therefore no copyright violation - that's simply elementary. Threshold of originality is given. --FSHL 16:57, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment to Digon3 - Redundant? I can't find another 3-view of the Su-37, so how could it be redundant? If you want to add a so-called »better vector« instead of my SVGs to Commons than feel free to do this. --FSHL 17:03, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
I thought Su-37_01.jpg was a commons file and Image:Su-37-Draft.svg was a low quality copy, sorry about that. --Digon3 talk 17:56, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

But then I couldnt understand why the quality is so bad: blurry lines. If you "zoom in" to the svg, it looks bad, you couldnt even seperate the lines. This could be made a lot better. when you say, that the original file was just the starting point, why you didn´t do it better, this way i couldnt see any improvement to a bitmap. So when delivering drawings, start with a bitmap and then do it better, using all advantages of vector graphic! LOL, the totally zero of your work isn´t Su-37_01.jpg? You just opened the file with inkscape and use a tool to vectorise, that´s it! So there is no real work of your own to produce a image. If you follow such a strange argument you would be able to use any pic from the internet, just vectorising and then its free for all (like you do so often, see your galerie)! Unbelievable.. --D.W. 18:39, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment to D.W. - So-called quality judgements are as well known always relative and therefore not really relevant for deletion. The reason why the lines are »blurry« (I definitively prefer sketchy) is finally very easy: it was merely my will. More about that context you can read here. I’ll surely not specify my exacting procedures to you but Photoshop of course also participates at this process. But if you can make it better than feel also free to do this and contribute them to Commons. --FSHL 19:54, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

okay..., we both can say, that a side, front or top view of a plane could look different, depending on the author (each of them will add a lot detail or just the prominant lines). So now i ask you how it could be possible that there are so many similarities in your blurry svg (lol, you say you want it that way, lächerlich) and a jpg-file.

I’d find it very strange if 2 3-view schematics of the same aircraft wouldn’t be similar... BTW: The reason why you can’t »seperate (sic!) the lines« is just as trivially: I simply use for all my vector graphics principally vector surfaces instead of lines.

um ausreden nicht verlegen..when i open the your svg and the original file, they even match perfectly on inkscape-workspace.. and i think a could also make svgs like you (inkscape-tool does a great job)

So thats the way you work (in my opinion): take a picture (no matter where its from, you dont care), in photoshop you remove some detail, which look strange after vectorising and then you take this clear derivate (it is still not a new work from you) and then you just need to do a little work in inkscape. If you ask me, this method could not produce any media for commons. The worst are your works, using photos to create weird svgs (nobody would normally do so, so maybe you should reconsider this approach of delivering material to commons, you are theonly one). In the end, sorry for my bad english, read you tomorrow ;) D.W. 00:15, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment to Ntrno - Well, if you think that Image:Su-37-Draft.svg »is SAME imag (sic!)« i.e. identical than Su-37_01.jpg than you can surely proof this circumstance by facts. Can you? If it’s identical than it’s absolutely clear that Image:Su-37-Draft.svg represents a copyright violation. But you can’t because they’re ad oculos not identically. If it’s not identical but rather similar than you’ve to proof that Image:Su-37-Draft.svg is a derivative work of Su-37_01.jpg in order to design a case of copyright violation. The reasons why it can’t be de facto and de jure a derivative work is simply the fundamental different nature of lossless scalable vector images and bitmap graphics. Comparing vector images and a bitmap graphics is IMHO simply comparing apples and oranges. They’re both fruits but that’s all... --FSHL 19:22, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

No, the fact that I could found other users with bad experiences with you is a fact against you... and it is the same image, open both files with inkscape shows that they totally congruent in all lines, there are only some details deleted in your image (because vectorise the pic with them looks strange). THATS a proof, just a derivative (and so falling under the same licence like the original file--->not free for commons) image could do so. Its no matter if a file is svg or bitmap in this situation. this kind of reasoning would open the floodgates for even more copyright violations. No you are the only user, producing a lot of them. So stop this NOW!--D.W. 19:55, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment to D.W. - Congruence is simply impossible and the reason for this is just as trivially: Image:Su-37-Draft.svg has a base size of 800 × 889 pixels, Su-37_01.jpg of 784 × 433 pixels. So they can be only congruent if you make them congruent by scaling and that’s by definition not a geometric congruence as rather similarity. I never negated that they aren’t similar because they’re the same aircraft. They must be similar otherwise they don’t illustrate the same airplane. Finally that’s just a proof that you didn’t understand the treated subject but nothing more. Furthermore I regard it as considerable supercilious that you really want to prescribe me what I might do.

  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment to FSHL Can you produce any reasons why this work should be kept rather than nitpicking the many arguments against you? Just because the format is different does not mean that the work is not clearly derivative. The two works are clearly closely related. Even you cannot refute this. The fact that the other one (i.e. the jpg) came first rather implies that you used it to make the SVG. Just because the pixels do not line up does not mean that the work is not derivative. Would you say that if I increase the hex colour value by one unit for each pixel then the work is not derivate, just because no pixels are the same? no, it is still derivative. It is not about the pixels, it is about the work as a whole. If you would like to clear yourself, present proof that you have never, at any point in the making of this image, used a copyrighted work. And becfore you say it, you DO have to present proof to do so. If I may quote you from a similar argument on your talk page, I could upload then but I'll not. I've my justified reasons for limiting the publication that I'll not explain in public – sorry!. To me this strongly suggests that you are breaching copyright. Now you are accused, you may want to defend yourself with hard proof, if you have it. We are not trying to prescribe what you are doing for the fun of it, we are trying to make Commons a useful, fair, and legal repository of valuable media. You are bringing down the repuatation of the project with your works, which as far as I am concerned are copyvios, poor quality, and useless, making them also out of Commons Scope.Inductiveload 22:42, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment to Inductiveload - Image:Su-37-Draft.svg is AFAIK still in use on 13 pages in 11 projects and as an elementary result of this trivial fact definitively not out of scope. »Burryness« is really not a valid reason for deletion and even you know that. »Massive lack of detail« is a comparison, however to what? There’s simply no other 3-view of the Su-37 at Commons. All further arguments were IMHO weakened already because in this special case there’s just no »damn pixel« anymore. There’s absolutely nothing! Nada! Nichts! Rien! Niente! Niets! Ничего! 何も! There’re only vectors. And you can’t BTW prove beyond doubt anyone of your other allegations thus I don’t need to deal with it. I principally don't count the chickens before they’re hatched. Fact is: I share my images but surely not my know-how. Furthermore I don’t have to justify why I don’t want to publish other images... --FSHL 06:55, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment to FSHL - Blurryness is a reason for deletion. It makes it bad quality. If I upload an out-of-focus photograph, is that OK, just because I call it "art"? You cannot expect to turn a JPG/PNG/GIF, etc. into an SVG and get round derivative works rules, which exist for a reason. Just because the image is defined as a set of vectors, rather than pixels does not make it above the rules. You clearly can use Inkscape (especially since you claim that you didn't even use auto-tracing to make it), so whay don't you contribute good work? Inductiveload 20:37, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment to Inductiveload - I've got fortunately the autonomy to make my work just like I want it. But If you want to contribute a so-called »good work« instead of Image:Su-37-Draft.svg to Commons than feel free to do this. I don’t have made the rules in Commons however I obey them strictly. If you can’t prove any rule/copyright violation against me, then may be because there’s simply no one. Did you ever think about that? And if »Burryness« really makes it bad quality, compared to what? To your ideal of quality? And if: Do I’ve to obey it? --FSHL 04:51, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

But I’ve created Image:Su-37-Draft.svg totally independently of Su-37_01.jpg.

If you do a three side drawing of the Su-37, it allways will look like the Su-37, whatever you do. And how much labor you ever spend to create such drawings, they will allways look like a Su-37.

This means, all such drawing will have a lack of originality, which makes them not copyrightable at all. I can redraw it by which measure ever, and nobody could ever claim a "copyright infringement" on it.

If any copyrights exist, then the one of the engineers who created the aircraft. But if this is the truth, you will have to accept that everything artificial will be copyrighted somehow and every image showing an artificial thing will be a derivate work. Images showing a car, airplane, mixer, handy, hoover, valves... -- Stahlkocher 18:12, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

P.S.: The image at www.suchoj.com is not the original one. You can find drawings in the original data sheets. They were forwarded to the press by Sukhoi. The homepage mentioned here is a privat one and must not be confused with www.sukhoi.org, the manufacturers homepage.


Kept. Not a derivative work. Data cannot be copyrighted and the measures of the aircraft (via a mechanical drawing) is not a copyright violation. -- Cat chi? 10:45, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

The school site in turn cites a German university site (also clearly not the original source) with an address that doesn't work anymore.

Meanwhile new diagrams are added (Image:Klimadiagramm-metrisch-deutsch-Madang-PapuaNeuguinea-1961-1990.png and two older periods of time for comparison reasons), replacing this diagram (except in Hedwig's own upload gallery). As Hedwig and I worked together on this climate diagram project (till his sudden disappearance in April), I think he would have no arguments against a deletion. -- JörgM 17:36, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment Difference between the both diagrams (especially the difference in precipitation) has been discussed on German Wikipedia (now archived in de:Benutzer Diskussion:Hedwig in Washington/Klimadiagramme/Archiv2#Klimadiagramm für Shenzhen). I really don't know where the difference of about 400 mm is from - perhaps from Hongkong Observatory where they give their own data for that of Shenzhen? It's a real mystery ... User Hph (the original creator) has not answered yet on his German discussion page, but has just been once working under his name during the last two years there, so probably there will be no answer. I saved this diagram - so, if there will be an evaluation of its data, it will be possible to give it back to commons, of course in better resolution. Same applies to the Tianjin diagram. -- JörgM 22:25, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

The fundamental difference between a lossless scalable vector image and a bitmap graphic is IMHO relevant to this relationship. Because totally zero of J-10_line_sketch.jpg is part of my work, it can’t be an edited version of that bitmap graphic. And if it's not an edited version, it’s therefore no copyright violation - that's simply elementary. Threshold of originality is given. --FSHL 20:48, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Borås_Stad.jpeg

We received a notice on the Swedish Village Pump from Joy Charly Görsch saying that Image:Borås_Stad.jpeg is was not created by Anton Djurberg (who has a number of notices of problematic image licensing on his user talk page to which he has not responded), but by Görsch, who also provides a link to http://www.goersch.se/horred.html from whence the image appears to be taken. In the deleted image description at Swedish Wikipedia, Djurberg did not actually attribute the photo to himself but to "Krister Fors", without any further information as to who that might be or that he approved the GFDL license.

Görsch requests correction of the authorship information but does not explicitly approve the licensing terms. Thus, the problem here is twofold. First, we must answer who we reasonably believe to be the legitimate copyright holder of the image: Görsch, Djurberg or the elusive Fors? Personally, I'm inclined to believe it's Görsch. Secondly, we must obtain a clear licensing statement from the legitimate copyright holder, whomever that may be. The purpose of the discussion here is primarily to establish consensus with respect to the first point.

LX (talk, contribs) 21:55, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Your explanation appears reasonable and I have no reason to doubt Mr Görsch. Please endeavor to obtain a OTRS permission for the image. -N 22:14, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Vthapsus sheet.JPG

Violates the copyright apparently held by The Linnean Society of London. The original is a scientific plant specimen, not a two-dimensional work of art, so age of the original does not apply. The photograph may be copyrighted since it is not a reproduction. --Walter Siegmund (talk) 03:40, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Source: http://www.nhm.ac.uk/jdsml/research-curation/projects/linnaean-typification/detail.dsml?ID=925400

Noted on source page as "© The Natural History Museum, London 2007. All Rights Reserved"

Unfortunately, Image:Vthapsus_sheet.JPG isn't public domain, as it isn't "a faithful photographic reproduction of an original two-dimensional work of art" - it is a derived work, with copyright dating from the date the photo was taken, and belonging to the NHM photographer. Sorry, but it'll have to be deleted! - MPF 01:06, 3 July 2007 (UTC) copied from User talk:Circeus. Walter Siegmund (talk) 02:04, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I really don,t think because this is a dried plant, rather than a drawing, it suddenly fails the 2-d criterion. The copyright notice does not, by any mean creates copyright for material in the public domain. Circeus 19:09, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
I agree with User:MPF, except it would appear that the image copyright holder may be The Linnean Society of London. "Image reproduced by kind permission of The Linnean Society of London."[30] According to Commons:Licensing, "[R]eproductions are usually not eligible to copyright: The creator of a scan of a picture owns no copyright to the resulting digital image, the scan needs no license. The only license important in that case is the one of the original picture." In this case, I don't think a photographic image can be considered a reproduction of a dried plant. Hence, the image may be copyrighted and permission for use must be obtained from the copyright holder. --Walter Siegmund (talk) 02:07, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
The point of the 2-D v 3-D distinction is that a 2D photograph of a 3D work of art necessitates a decision on what angle to view and photograph the artwork from, and is therefore necessarily not a slavish reproduction.
This is a pressed sheet. It may not be strictly two-dimensional, but then again nor are the works of Claude Monet when you see them up close - thick wads of paint are slapped on, creating differences in paint profile of up to half an inch. In both cases, however, these works of art are effectively 2-D because they are intended to be treated as flat objects, and viewed from straight in front; thus there is no decision to be made on what angle to photograph from, and this is simply a slavish reproduction of a public domain creative work. Hesperian 23:38, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
It has been suggested elsewhere that this image is subject to a copyright claim by the owners of the webiste from which it was taken. This is true, but those qualified to judge of this situation will know that spurious copyright claims are a dime a dozen. It is an undisputed fact that the sheet itself has long since passed into the public domain, and I don't think anybody would argue that the photograph is not a slavish reproduction. Therefore the issue hinges on whether or not the sheet qualifies as a 2D work. If so, then this is in the public domain per Corel v. Bridgeman, irrespective of spurious claims to the contrary.
As I stated above, this sheet is intended to be treated as a flat object viewed from straight in front. To photograph it from any other angle would be ludicrous. It may not be perfectly flat but its profile is no less flat than a typical impressionist painting. Therefore I argue that the sheet itself is a 2D work, so this photograph is in the public domain.
Hesperian 14:43, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
I agree with Hesperian's interpretation. There is no reason this shouldn't be treated as a 2 dimensional. Like he said, herbarium sheets are generally flatter than impressionist paintings. Furthermore it's quite clear that such a photograph is not eligible for copyright. If I were to go in and take a photo at the Linnean Society, my photo would be indistinguishable. If the photo perhaps captured the background at a particular angle, then it would no longer be two dimensional and would be copyrightable, but that is not the case. It's in the public domain Djlayton4 15:17, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Discussion above was copied from Image:Vthapsus sheet.JPG Walter Siegmund (talk) 16:31, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

My position is that 2-dimensional works of art don't have to be absolutely flat. Many impressionist artists used to slap on great wads of paint, creating thickness profiles that varied by up to half an inch, but no-one would argue that these are not 2-D works. I think a 2-D work is a work that is intended to be treated as a flat object and viewed from directly in front, irrespective of whether or not it is perfectly flat. In the case of the V. thapsus sheet, it would be ludicrous to photograph it from any other angle, so I think it qualifies as a 2-D art. --Hesperian 23:45, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to intrude on this discussion but I have to agree with MPF on this one. The website that the image was taken from has a clear statement of copyright; see their terms of use where it states clearly and explicitly:
NHM or its licensors or contributors own the copyright and all other intellectual property rights in the material on the Site. You may not copy, reproduce, republish, download, post, broadcast, transmit, adapt or otherwise use any material on the Site other than for your own personal non-commercial use.
That seems pretty clear to me. Moreoever, under the image itself is the statement "Image reproduced by kind permission of The Linnean Society of London", suggesting that it came from a third party who probably owns the copyright and was used with permission. If there is any question of copyright violation, and in lieu of explicit permission, an image should not be uploaded to Wikipedia.
I have to question what this image provides to the article in the first place; it's not essential to any information provided, but if it were, it could be listed under "external links". MrDarwin 13:26, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Copyright claims are a dime a dozen. Virtually every library in Australia claims copyright over images that everyone knows to be in the public domain. I emailed my state library over this, and they admitted that the images I was querying were in the public domain, but declined to stop falsely copyright tagging them. And this is not by any stretch of the imagination a problem unique to Australia. Hesperian 14:29, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Discussion above was copied from en:User talk:MPF Walter Siegmund (talk) 16:31, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
I would contend is not a work of art at all, within the spirit of copyright law. It is a solid object, a scientific museum specimen; the photo is comparable to e.g. a photo of a rock in a geological museum - one could not claim that a photo of a rock is in the public domain merely because the rock is 50 million years old, or was collected 250 years ago. Not even if it was a flat rock. With something like this, the copyright dates from the time of photographing and belongs to the photographer, not the collector of the object photographed. - MPF 16:50, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
People seem to be relying heavily on a single U.S. court decision that may or may not be applicable here. Is the herbarium specimen itself in the public domain? Probably. Would a court consider this herbarium specimen to be a "two-dimensional work of art"? Maybe, maybe not. How about the photograph taken of that specimen? Maybe, maybe not (did any creativity go into producing the image, e.g., were any special techniques or equipment used to photograph it, color correction or balancing, or other kinds of mage manipulation?). Can the decision be extended in any way to this case? Maybe, maybe not. Does this court ruling have any standing outside the U.S.A.? Maybe, maybe not. The problem is that copyright is being asserted for this image and therefore the onus is on those who claim the material is in the public domain to prove it, and prove it very clearly, otherwise they open Wikipedia to copyright violation charges (and possibly lawsuits). I'm not a lawyer, but I think this is a great big gray area where one should tread very carefully. Legality aside, it's also a matter of common courtesy to ask to use such images, rather than simply taking them and using them without permission. (BTW I think that "fair use" may apply here, but that's a separate issue and I'm not any more familiar with international law than I am with U.S. law.) Finally, why not just link to the photograph in the list of references, rather than uploading it to Wikipedia? I'm still wondering why it's so critical to the article in the first place. 160.111.86.128 17:21, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

    • It was produced by Carolus Linnaeus in the late 1700s. Hesperian 23:55, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep This has nothing to do with rocks. Only creative input is copyrightable, and there is no creative input in the properties of a rock or plant. The creative input in the original sheet lies in the way in which the plant is arranged upon the sheet of paper. This would have been done with great care and skill, and I believe it would be sufficient to establish copyrightability. This is, however, irrelevant, because any copyright on the original sheet, if it ever existed, has long since passed into the public domain. I think most participants here agree with that, and so you should; if you can't comprehend the trivially obvious fact that there is no copyright in something created in the 1700s (as opposed to a recent photograph of it), you shouldn't be participating in this discussion.
    I haven't heard anyone argue that the photograph is not a slavish copy. Even if we grant MPF and Walter's positions that the sheet is simply a specimen lacking any creative input (which I don't) there is still no creative input in the photograph. The framing of the photograph is predetermined by the extent of the sheet; the angle of the photograph was necessarily straight in front, because of the essential 2D nature of the work; lighting is necessarily from directly behind the camera, and applied as evenly as possible. So where is the creative input of the photographer? There is none, it is a slavish copy.
    I also haven't heard any attempt to repudiate my observation that this is just as much as 2D work as the average impressionist painting, because it is no less flat than an impressionist painting, and it is intended to be treated as a flat object and viewed only from directly in front.
    As far as I can see, this is a pretty straightforward case. Hesperian 23:55, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
I don't think anyone is arguing that the herbarium sheet itself is subject to copyright (but see below); the discussion is entirely about the photograph of that herbarium sheet. Do you know for a fact that there was no creative process involved in producing that photograph? If so, how do you know that? Most importantly, do you think a court of law, in any country in the world, would agree with you, and would also agree that the herbarium sheet is a "2-dimensional work of art" for the purposes of applying previous American legal decisions about reproducing images of works of art whose copyrights have expired? Would you be willing to bet your own money on it? If you answered "yes" to these questions, I want to talk to you about investing in the stock market because you're apparently omniscient. But if you answered "no" or "I'm not sure", then uploading and using this image is a very unwise thing to do. The people who are claiming that this image is in the public domain may well be right, but it's not at all clear to me from the evidence I've seen and I think people are being dangerously cavalier with copyright protections and possible violations. 70.108.32.202 01:51, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Symbol keep vote.svg Keep per Hesperian's analysis. With respect to Bridgeman being an American court case, it's not the legal precedent as such that matters, but the elements of law underlying the decision. Copyright law is sufficiently internationally standardised that the relevant elements here, namely that copyright protection presupposes some original, creative work capable of being copyrighted, exist in every jurisdiction. Such work was present in Linnaeus' creation, but is not present in the process of creating copies of his creation. I'm not sure beyond the shadow of a doubt that every court would agree, but I am sure beyond reasonable doubt, which is what Commons effectively operates on every day. (If we had to be omnisciently certain of the status of every work, we couldn't trust anyone's authorship claims for fear that maybe, just maybe, they're lying.) LX (talk, contribs) 21:41, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Symbol keep vote.svg Keep My analysis is similar to Hesperian's, so the (c) notice has no meaning: you can't copyright something in the public domain, and I utterly fail to see how "artistic expression" can be argued in this case, from either Linnaeus or the NHM.Circeus 17:52, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment Anyone who has ever worked with herbarium specimens knows that they can be examined at many magnifications and angles, so the implication that the straight-on photo is the only possible one is incorrect. On the other hand, the same could be said of an impressionist painting. An angled view of the brushwork of a public domain painting requires creative judgment of the photographer, as the same would of a herbarium specimen. Nevertheless, this is the one view of the specimen that is rote, and requires no judgment.--Curtis Clark 18:23, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Symbol delete vote.svg Delete Per Commons:When_to_use_the_PD-Art_tag#UK, this is probably copyrightable in the UK. I have never seen a dried specimen myself, so I don't know about whether or not this is 3D. -- Bryan (talk to me) 21:57, 19 August 2007 (UTC)


Ok, someone has to do it. I already worked with dried specimen and you can’t consider such shets as two-dimensional. The plant still has a three-dimensional structure and older paper is often wavy. The photography has to be lit carefully to avoid disturbing little shadows on the one hand and to provide a good quality and enough details regarding the dried specimen on the other hand. Maybe you also have to re-adjust parts of the plant or to fix them separately. Pure mechanical copying is impossible for a herbarium.

[edit] Image:Gv_19471029_24_04.ogg

The recording, and possibly all other similar recordings[31], are most probably copyright protected. The copyrightholder is the one that recorded the speech. The file has the license tag {{PD-Speech}} which was supposed to be deleted (1), but the deletion was reverted without discussion, and I have also seen files carrying {{PD-India}} - a creator has not been mentioned. User:Yann appears to have restored many previously deleted files. The source claims: Our archival material is protected by international copyright law, and exclusively for personal, non-commercial use. Unauthorized copying, public performance, broadcasting, hiring, and rental of the material is strictly prohibited. Siebrand 13:24, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

This is misleading or false. The copyright holder is not the "one that recorded the speech". No such provision exists in any copyright law as I know, and certainly not in India. The speaker may have the copyright of a speech if it was written down before, but that was not what Gandhi used to do. In addition, all sound recordings are public domain 60 years after publication in India, and therefore in all countries which have a "shorter rule" provision. The source (The Gandhiserve Foundation) is notorious for claiming dubious copyright, and certainly doesn't hold the copyright of these files. So I believe that the previous deletions were done without proper procedure, for a dubious reason (file description pages not edited for some time), and the uploader (me) was not informed. Yann 13:42, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Not all speeches need to be written down. Berne Convention, article 2: "(2) It shall, however, be a matter for legislation in the countries of the Union to prescribe that works in general or any specified categories of works shall not be protected unless they have been fixed in some material form." I don't what the situation is in India. The term of protection is 60 years p.m.a., in this case until 2008-12-31, if the work is copyrightable. Samulili 17:33, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Actually, I does it really matter what the Indian copyright law says? This speech is clearly in a material fixed form. Samulili 17:38, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
It seems like Indian copyright law is pretty relevant. Sound recordings and cinematographic films are public domain 60 years after the date of publication (not 60 years pma and not from the following Jan 1). If the date of this speech is considered the publication date, it would be PD at the end of October this year, though technically not right now. Doesn't seem worth deleting for the sake of three months. Carl Lindberg 05:03, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
The text of the speech will probably be public as you say. We do not (yet) know when the audio recordings were first published. Siebrand 08:13, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Of course Indian copyright law matters, but it doesn't matter whether it requires works to be fixed because in this case the work is fixed.
Furthermore, even if the rights of the audio recording would have been expired, copyright to the speech hasn't. Samulili 11:34, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
The speech may possibly be copyrighted separately in text form (provided Gandhi wrote it down), meaning we very well may not be allowed to transcribe it and post the text, but this recording is a separate copyright and is not a derivative work of the textual speech. It is a "performance" and those copyrights expire 60 years after publication in India. The only question is when it was published (well, that and also that it may not be considered PD inside the United States). Carl Lindberg 03:23, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
You claim again that the speech has to be in text form but you have not shown any proof for that claim. Like I pointed out earlier, whether such fixed form is required is up to the national law. The default, however, is that it is not required.
Rome convention also states that: "Protection granted under this Convention shall leave intact and shall in no way affect the protection of copyright in literary and artistic works. Consequently, no provision of this Convention may be interpreted as prejudicing such protection." So even if the rights of producers of phonograms have expired, that does not affect the rights of the copyright holder. Samulili 08:33, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
As I already said, Gandhi didn't write down his speeches, and as Carl Lindberg said, the copyright would expire October 2007 if it existed. Yann 09:45, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
What is the relevance of Gandhi not writing down his speeches? Is it required? Nothing of that sort has been shown to be true. And the date of expiration is 1 January 2009 as Gandhi died 30 January 1948. Samulili 10:00, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
To be copyrighted, something must be in fixed or tangible form... to be a literary work, it needs to be written. It is possible that if *anyone* writes down the speech, Gandhi would still own copyright on it (not sure about that). The literary copyright lasts until 2009 as you say. However the sound recording is completely separate... the term for recordings is 60 years from publication, not 60 years pma, so that would expire at a different time (and whatever literary copyright is separately held has no bearing on this). If Gandhi had previously written it down, his literary copyright would let him disallow a recording to be made (but if allowed, the term of the recording is still 60 years from then). The performance copyright would have some bearing on the use of the recording, but in India the performer's rights expire after 25 years, so Gandhi would not have any ownership in this recording after 1972 (unless he was also the one to make the recording). Anyone may use or make copies of the recording itself after 60 years, although someone else making the same speech would violate the literary copyright. The situation is similar with old musical recordings in the UK/EU... the songs from 50 years ago are starting to become public domain there. If another artist covers the song they still owe royalties to the song composer (since those rights do not expire), but the actual original recording is public domain. Carl Lindberg 14:12, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
"To be copyrighted, something must be in fixed or tangible form... to be a literary work, it needs to be written." That simply is not true and I have already quoted the Berne Convention: "It shall, however, be a matter for legislation in the countries of the Union to prescribe that works in general or any specified categories of works shall not be protected unless they have been fixed in some material form." I'll quote some more: "The expression "literary and artistic works" shall include every production in the literary, scientific and artistic domain, whatever may be the mode or form of its expression, such as books, pamphlets and other writings; lectures, addresses, sermons and other works of the same nature" etc. Samulili 15:37, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Fair enough, but I was reading the Indian copyright law in particular. It is fairly specific about sound recordings; the literary copyright owner can prevent the recording, but if permitted the copyright is 60 years from publication. The performance rights can restrict usage of the recording for 25 years, and the literary rights can prevent transfers to another medium (such as text), but the sound recording itself is PD after 60 years. A sound recording is distinct from a literary work. Carl Lindberg 16:39, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
On the rights of the producer of phonograms. I have quoted earlier the Rome Convention: "Protection granted under this Convention shall leave intact and shall in no way affect the protection of copyright in literary and artistic works. Consequently, no provision of this Convention may be interpreted as prejudicing such protection."
It would seem from this that we may not use the recording freely while Gandhi's (his heirs) copyright is still valid. I tried to find outside evidence for this, and after some searching, I did. A piece of news by BBC. Regarding publications by Elvis and Beatles, they write: "While copyright in the sound recording itself may be due to expire, copyright in the original work belonging to the songwriter lasts for the length of their lives plus 70 [60 in India] years. For each sale of a Beatles recording, the owner of the copyright in the original work will continue to receive payment until this expires many years from now. What will disappear is the right of individual record companies to maintain a monopoly on release of certain recordings. And this is what worries them."[32] Samulili 17:40, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure that's quite correct, unless maybe Indian and British law have drifted a bit. The sound recording copyright (in India) allows the user to "To make any other sound recording embodying it", "To sell or give on hire, or offer for sale or hire, any copy of the sound recording", and "to communicate the sound recording to the public". The literary copyright allows them to (among other things) "make a cinematograph film or sound recording in respect of the work" and "to perform the work in public". The sound recording copyrights are expiring, so anyone should be able to do those functions, so unless the UK is different it would seem anyone can copy and sell the recordings with no royalties. On the other hand, radio stations playing the songs count as a "performance", so the royalties coming from that have always just gone to the composer, and that will continue even when the sound recordings are PD. It may be that latter part that the article you cite was referring to. So, while the copyright on the recording will expire and I think commons can host it, there are certain uses that would not be OK until Gandhi's literary copyright expires in 2009. Carl Lindberg 23:17, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
I don't think you should have reverted me and Commons:Deletion requests/Template:PD-Speech this, especially since you are involved in the matter. Assuming items are in the public domain is not valid. You assume copyrighted until you have a license otherwise, especially if you read the court case presented in that COM:DR as well. If you want to change it mark it "no license" and then wait the 7 days and notify all the uploaders (other than yourself), I'd be fine with that, but using your admin tools as a party in a dispute wasn't cool.

[edit] Image:Hezbollahlogo.jpg 2

Insufficient source, probable copyvio. This image is from a fridge magnet, not a flag. Hezbollah deserves copyright protection for their logo. This image is also of poor quality (it includes a reflection of the flash or other light source).   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 23:55, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep The result of the discussion was to keep, are you going to delete the US flag too, because it has been changed less than 70 years ago... Madmax32 21:04, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Symbol delete vote.svg Delete... and I still need someone to explain to me how there is "no original authorship" in this rather elaborate drawing with respect to Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Flag of Hezbollah.svg. Comparisons with national flags are flawed. Countries can legislate against perceived offensive or disrespectful uses of their flags, so that a national flag may be free for copyright and licensing purposes (which we are concerned with), but protected by other means (the responsibility of anyone using works from Commons). Hezbollah, not being a country, has no line of defense in this matter beyond copyright, and I very much doubt Hezbollah would consent to the creation of derivative works which they would perceive as desecrating their symbols. LX (talk, contribs) 22:04, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm not so sure, it's never been established who the authors of this flag are so, and it is apparently a derivative work of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps flag, besides as pointed out in the previous deletion request [33] there are many flags which could also be considered to be not PD ineligible but are kept regardless, such as the flag of the UN or NATO for example, I don't foresee hezbollah having much success in stopping abusive use of their flag considering they are a scheduled terrorist group in the US. Madmax32 09:36, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
This is not a flag.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 22:30, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Symbol delete vote.svg Delete, and delete the SVG also. There is plenty of original authorship in this logo. The integration of the graphical elements into the Arabic text, at the very least, constitutes a work of art eligible for copyright. Sandstein 05:29, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Symbol delete vote.svg Delete as nominator. Also, this is a lower-resolution, poorer-quality, single-color-process version of the non-field portion of Image:Flag of Hezbollah.svg.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs|Flickr review status nom) 02:27, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Now you're straddling the fence. You can't claim this photo is illegal, and the flag is too, and then say it should be deleted because it's lower quality than the flag. -N 14:52, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
I never did "claim this photo is illegal, and the flag is too", nor did I express an opinion at Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Flag of Hezbollah.svg. There are four items we are dealing with here:
  1. The actual logo of Hezbollah, in green and red on a bright yellow field, probably copyrighted in Lebanon, 1982-1985.
  2. The version of the logo above on the flag of Hezbollah (with a wider yellow field), presented at Image:Flag of Hezbollah.svg.
  3. A fridge magnet containing a dark-green-only on mustard-yellow bastardization of the logo which Bertilvidet found and photographed at an undisclosed location and date/time.
  4. The resulting photograph Image:Hezbollahlogo.jpg.
I have multiple reasons for wanting this image Image:Hezbollahlogo.jpg deleted:
  1. Insufficient source, probable copyvio at the time I made the request (I had not yet read Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Flag of Hezbollah.svg)
  2. Poor quality and lower resolution of the photograph (it includes a reflection of the flash or other light source, and is incompletely focused) - it is not a slavish transformation of the fridge magnet.
  3. Poor quality of the fridge magnet image (it includes less detail than Image:Flag of Hezbollah.svg, and is missing the red color) - it is not a slavish transformation of the actual logo.
  4. We already have Image:Flag of Hezbollah.svg, why do we need any other representation of the actual logo of Hezbollah? "There should be only one copy of an image" per {{duplicate}}.
  — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 23:59, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Refusing to discuss comments such as "bastardization" I must say that interpreting {{duplicate}} as a policy prohibiting the same symbol being depicted in various settings is a novelty that radically will change the nature of Commons. We even have a Category:Flags_of_the_United_States, with different flags as well as the Flag of the United States depicted in various settings. I find it useful, and would not suggest to delete all but one photo of the same symbol. For exact date and time of the photo caption please see the relevant page (08:56, 9 August 2006). Bertilvidet 12:39, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Where was the photo taken, in what country and timezone (thus producing the UTC time)? Did you take it? If not, who did? Whose fridge magnet is or was it? Where did they get it? Thanks!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 19:51, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
I do not see the need for all these details. But if it is relevant I will answer: 1) The photo was taken in my kitchen in Istanbul (Turkey). I took the photo with my own camera. I own the fridge magnet, that I bought as a souvenir in Beirut February 2006. Bertilvidet 08:45, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:PD-German stamps and all it tags

The licensing restriction "According to german copyright this stamp has to be displayed completely" as translated by Prolineserver in this edit is a "non derivative work" restriction, making any stamp using this tag not free enough for Commons.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 22:39, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep - Prolineservers translation isn’t adequate and your interpretation is an invalid generalisation. It means that German stamps must be illustrated completely so there is a restriction concerning the PD status but nothing more. --FSHL 11:26, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Symbol keep vote.svg Keep
Deutsch: Mein Englisch ist nicht so gut, deshalb auf deutsch: Deutsche Briefmarken sind amtliche Werke und somit dürfen diese wenn diese komplett, also mit der Zähnung, abgebildet werden. Bei aktuellen Marken, sollte es nach möglichkeit eine gebrauchte Marke mit Stempel, hilfsweise einem schwarzen Balken, oder dem Worten Muster bzw. Specimen sein.
--kandschwar 16:35, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
English: German stamps are an official work and thus these may be illustrated if they are completely therefore with perforation. With current stamps it should be as far as possible a used postage stamp, alternatively with a black bar or the words sample and/or specimen on it.
P.S.: I don’t know if my translation is really adequate, his sentence structure is a little bit complex and I know entirely nothing about philately... --FSHL 17:54, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
This requirement that the image be of a stamp that is used (canceled) or be defaced with a black bar or the words sample and/or specimen on it (an anti-counterfeiting measure) also makes any stamp tagged with this template not free enough for Commons.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 23:57, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

My reasoning is that the restriction is meant to ensure that the stamps are displayed completely, that the restriction prohibits the "crop" type of derivative work as a subcategory of the "condensation" type of derivative work, and that any restriction of any "condensation" type derivative work for a particular image or class of images means that that particular image or class of images is incompatible with hosting here on Wikimedia Commons, according to the US Copyright Act of 1976, Section 101. Please see Commons:Derivative works and Commons:Licensing#Derivative works for more details. Thanks!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 23:52, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment to N - Definitively not! If you don’t fulfil this restriction then you may not publish the stamps as PD because you just hadn’t any right to used them as PD.

But if you fulfil this restriction then you may do whatever you want. --FSHL 07:37, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Farah.jpg

I'm not sure about its image. Its lack of source info on en.wiki has been questioned. Ultimately its free status seems to turn on whether it is an official photo of the Empress. If so, as it is more than 30 years since publication/presentation the image is free under PD-Iran. The image looks like an official photo to me but we don't have any more precise sourcing. So can we keep this image? WjBscribe 17:29, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Copied from en:wiki:
You can perhaps understand how shocked I was to see myself on the internet; Image:Pasen 2007 045.JPG, is a picture my grandson took from me weeks ago! I don't now how it came on the internet, but what I do know, is that I want it to be removed as quickly as possible. Such things cannot be tolerated! It is a complete violation of personal information I don't want to be within the public domain. I am a amature-sailor and won some sailboat-races, so it is quite possible I am on the internet, but I never gave permition for this to happen. Can you give me the name and some information on the user who uploaded this? Is it used more often? Were else can it be seen? I wanna know! I want it removed completely! -The Bold Guy- 12:05, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
That picture is not on Wikipedia, but on the Creative Commons, which is a site that holds images for several websites including Wikipedia. The image was upload by someone going by the name H.O - WikiCommonsAccount". It is being used in the following locations: Project talk:Facebook(On this Wikipedia), Simple:User:J. B. A. Evháh, Simple:User:J. B. A. Evháh/J.B.A. Evháh(last two are on the "Simple" Wikipedia).
The uploader of the image claims it is "self-made", I am not sure where the commons goes to challenge copyright. Until(1 == 2) 12:39, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
I also don't know, actually. I'm just new here, and I was stunned, seeing myself here, without me ever given permition to anyone using the image. -The Bold Guy- 12:43, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I have found the tag that commons uses for copyvios. Go to the image page(commons:Image:Pasen_2007_045.JPG) and add "{{copyvio}}" to the page, then go to the images talk page(Commons:Image talk:Pasen_2007_045.JPG) and explain things. I am sure a commons admin will take care of it in a short while. Until(1 == 2) 12:52, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
It's likely a complicated legal question. Your grandson took the picture so he owns the copyright and might ordinarily be entitled to grant it over your objection or anyone else's. However, he may be a minor, and I don't know how that affects grants. Further, you potentially have a right of privacy not to have your face on the Internet in that way, but once the cat's out of the bag you might lose it so act fast! My guess is that you can probably forget all the legal complexities and just figure out how Wikimedia Commons handles these things. There's probably a layer of super-administrator just like Wikipedia, or someone on staff, who can just make an executive decision to delete the image if you ask nicely and have a valid claim. Wikidemo 14:41, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
It sounds like the -The Bold Guy- in the original post is saying the picture was taken from him, as in the actual paper/file was transferred in possession. To me, it looks like the picture was self-taken. See the lower left corner, the shirt sleeve is close and out of focus. Also, the subject's shoulders are raised, suggesting he is holding something (i.e. the camera). If that is the case, you definitely have a valid copyvio complaint.

[edit] Image:Us-civil.svg

This image is an unreferenced image and is most likely based off a recent commercial product. There is no indication that this image is the one involved in the hoax presented in the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_civil_flag. This flag was created by Flagseek.com and is an item sold under the pretenses as being the "U.S. Sovereign Flag" It was created in 2004 - more than 200 years after the article says it was! The commercial site is found here: http://www.uscivilflags.org/products.html This is immediately obvious since there were not 50 states in 1799 when the "civil flag" was purportedly created. After gaining a better understanding of what Wikimedia is and is not, I realize this request it without merit and withdraw my recommendation of deletion. --Jgassens 19:45, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep You have presented no valid reason for the deletion of a Commons image. The flag should be kept because:
    a) the image is not copyrighted
    b) the image is currently being used in more than one article, so it clearly has a use
    c) Flagseek.com may sell the flag, but you have provided no evidence that they created it
    d) The argument that it isn't a real flag of the United States is completely irrelevant to whether it should be kept
    e) Your 50-stars argument doesn't even hold, since obviously the "civil flag" would gain stars just like the "military flag"--obviously it is a representation of what the civil flag with stars for today's number of states would look like. Lexicon 19:53, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • REPLY It is upon you, the creator of the image, to prove its validity. Not the readers of this encyclopedia. You have failed at that in every regard.
a) So what? I can take a picture of an orange and call it the national flag of the US so long as it isn't copyrighted??
b) This erroneous image is being propagated which gives it all the more imperative that it be removed.
c) Read the uscivilflags.org website, which shows they created it in 2004. Like I said, this burden is on you, the creator, to show it is a valid non-commercial source. Not the readers of the articles you produce.
d) So can I create a flag of my own design and put it in the article? Would that be valid? NO. That argument is garbage.
e) I suppose this argument is valid if you consider that there is no reason to have a relevant image for the article, as you've stated above.
I also question your ability to vote to keep your own image.
  • It's not a vote, but even if it was, yes, the uploader gets a say
  • This is not an encyclopedia, it's a repository of media
  • YES, you can take a picture of an orange and call it a flag, as long as it has SOME use, it has a place on Wikimedia Commons. This is not Wikipedia. Honestly, I don't care if the article on Wikipedia goes, but images that have even a shred of usefulness (and this image has at least a shred) should be available on Commons. Lexicon 20:29, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • I assume the uploader had a say when he/she uploaded it. And this isn't flickr, it's not a place for images with only a "shred" of use. If you want it in the Wikipedia article, then upload it to wikipedia and stop claiming it has amnesty on Wikimedia servers. But as it is used right now, it is a misleading, uncredited and unreferenced image which describes nothing more than a commercial product and it should be deleted from this server for that exact reason. If you aren't concerned about the article, then remove the image from the article and upload it to Wikipedia where, I'm perfectly confident, someone will stick it back in and it will get deleted via deletion requests there.

[edit] Image:Orchid Botanica Logo.jpg

We get a lot of logos with GFDL-self or PD-self when that in fact isn't case. This could be one of those images, but in this case I would be ready to the take the uploader's word. However, I have another concern: if this image is a logo for Tan Tock Seng Hospital I would imagine that they have ordered the exclusive rights for image. In that case the author would be forbidden by his contract to release the image to public domain. All in all, more information seems to be necessary. Samulili 14:57, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, yes i agree with your concern over the hospital having rights over the logo. However, the logo is an unofficial design of the garden and can be used. i have checked this out already. In fact, the design is an innovation of balinese-style art which is extremely common and is used in many illustrations. All in all, I will respect your decisions and if you deem it necessary for the logo to be scrapped, then please do so (though I feel that the logo's existence is appropriate.) Jarrod

    • If the uploader (who holds the copyright to the modifications and therefore is the only one who can issue a license for those modifications) would do that, we could keep the image. If the uploader doesn't want to do that, he or she has no legal right to publish the image. LX (talk, contribs) 23:09, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep, since I fail to see why these two map images qualify for a protection under copyright laws. There's not much creativity nor art skills required to reduce a map of the continent to a grey area. In my opinion both map images qualify for Template:PD-ineligible. --32X 23:49, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Kept. Just changed the license... --Siebrand 13:57, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Isl Krone.JPG

Ég hafði samband við Seðlabanka Íslands og íslenskir peningar falla undir sanngjarna notkun --Steinninninn 29 May 2007)

I guess that Steinninninn is saying that he had a discussion with the Bank of Iceland and that Icelandic bank notes are protected by copyright. Samulili 15:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Hm... Is "sanngjarna notkun" the Icelandic equivalent of "fair use?" If so, Steinninninn says that Icelandic money falls under fair use. --Kjetil r 02:02, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
This is what he said: "I contacted the Central Bank of Iceland and Icelandic money falls under fair use" Haukurth 21:28, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Haukur is right. Icelandic money is fair use, but maybe someone want's to contact them again to confirm. The email I sent wasn't very specific http://www.sedlabanki.is/ --Steinninn 21:52, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

This page has some information: [35] Haukurth 21:53, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
I interprete these statements by the Central Bank of Iceland to mean that banknotes are not copyrighted. Otherwise they would have just said so. Of course the Central bank is the only institution authorized to issue real banknotes. But that's got nothing to with copyright. Their mention of "derogatory reproductions" is a reference to the moral rights of the artists (right to the integrity of the work); it's in no way special. Such restrictions exist for other works, too. Just make sure that the images do not show the banknotes at their true sizes. Lupo 08:10, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
As no additional discussion since the above 2 months ago, I am closing this as a keep per above. -- Infrogmation 01:12, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Evstafiev Mikhail

please provide an explicit permission (OTRS) to use the files from the website under the given license. “Note that User:Evstafiev has contributed further images under the same licence” isn’t a permission to visit his homepage and use all the files here – it’s an assumption. I’d be glad to remove this request as soon as possible. (I also contacted User:Evstafiev)--Polarlys 15:48, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I have informed the creator of the template today. So wait 7 days before the eventual deletion of the template. --ALE! ¿…? 14:22, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
You should contact User:Evstafiev, it'd be far more efficient. Rama 14:33, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Looking at all his images. I have actually strong doubts that the uploader is the author of all these photos. --ALE! ¿…? 12:19, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Ale, no need for concern in this case. I am a professional photographer and I have wrote and edited many wiki stories both in Russian and English for the last several years. I have also contributed some of my photos to wiki. I will update the licence shortly. If you have any further questions, you might want to email me, as I do not visit commons that often.

Kept, explicitly releases under usable free licenses. -- Infrogmation 01:21, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Identical to[36] which has a fair use rationale and was uploaded there by User:Stealthusa who has copyright problems here and on en.wikipedia. Apparently transwikied by someone who didn't know any better. ---N 20:54, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
