Comment I can confirm that the image is an exact b/w copy of plate 6 of the and that it has not been altered to show something that's not in the original. In other words, the image is not a fake. However, It's not fellatio; this scene is represented many times in ancient Egyptian books of the dead and I've never seen one show the woman with her lips up to the mummy quite like this one. If anything, the image needs to be retitled if possible, so it's not misleading. For the record, nothing in the current image title is correct: the mummy is that of Ani, the woman is his wife Tutu; a priest in a mask holds the mummy.

[edit] Image:Public_Domain_Image_Andrea_Yates.jpg

License status unclear, unknown source.

Symbol keep vote.svg Keep-Please notice that all objections made by GeorgHH have been rectified on the image page. The license status is now clear with the removal of the GFDL tag and retaining of the PD because tag. The rationale and description sections have been revamped with clarifications to eliminate confusion over ownership of the video source and include a link to the Texas Public Information Act that documents why the reporter in the cited CNN interview would professionally used the phrase "public domain" when refering to materials released by the Attorney General of Texas. Thomas Anderson 19:25, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

GeorgHH,

You hastily misunderstood the free use rationale and the video source of the Yates image. The image of Yates did not come from a CNN video of one of their broadcasts. It came from a public domain video not belonging to CNN.

The www.fdch.com link is for -CNN- owned video transcripts of -their- programs. The Yates jail psychiatric interview video is not property of CNN. The CNN article was only cited to prove the video of Yates (state's evidence) was released by the Texas DA into public domain. As such, a frame grab of a public domain video falls under the terms of free use and should be allowed for use in Wikipedia.

Yates was not interviewed by CNN. The image was not part of their video which falls under their copyright terms described in the links you provided above. The links are not associated with state's evidence video released into public domain.

You clearly miscomprehended the rationale and source of the video. Please reconsider as there is no reason for the deletion tag. Thank you. Thomas Anderson 06:49, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Symbol delete vote.svg Delete - uploader is not understanding the definition of "public domain". Public domain doesn't mean many people are using it, it menas that anybody can use it for free, for any purpose, without needing to worry about copyrights. Patstuart 07:14, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Rescinded, this is becoming too complicated and making my head hurt. I can't figure out what's "public domain" and what's not. Patstuart 19:07, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Patstuart, you are assuming I do not understand the definition of public domain,. When the state of Texas places a document into public domain, it means anyone can use it freely according to their freedom of information policy. My rationale was never "because many people are using it." Where do you see that? The CNN reporter Hemmer described the Yates video as released into the public domain when he asked if -more- documents regarding the case will be released into the public domain. I'm taking my definition from the CNN reporter who is professionally accustomed to the most techincal meaning of "public domain" in the copyright sense. His usage of the terminology as a professional defaults its meaning to the professional definition.Thomas Anderson 07:44, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Can you provide access to the document claiming this is in the public domain? Patstuart 18:11, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
It has always been available on the image page for the PD rationale:
This file is in the public domain', because The District Attorney's Office of Houston, TX had the Attorney General release the states evidence video of this uploaded screenshot into the public domain according to the following CNN article:
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0206/20/ltm.15.html
It is one of two videos mentioned in the article. Lucy Puryear is the psychiatrist interviewing Yates.
IMPORTANT: The jailhouse psychiatric interview of Yates is not property of CNN and therefore does not fall under the copyright terms of CNN owned video transcripts of its programing. The CNN Article was only cited here to prove the state of Texas released this states evidence video of Yates into public domain, and as such a frame grab is also public domain and qualifies for free use in Wiki.
Certain information, such as state's evidence is excluded from public access according to the Texas Public Information Act until the Attorney General authorizes its release. When it is released, it becomes "public domain" by said policy, and the gov't is specifically restricted from asking how that material shall be used and cannot refuse its use. http://www.oag.state.tx.us/opinopen/og_faqs.shtml#pia A copyright holder has the right to ask how material is used and restrict who uses it, meaning the state of Texas no longer retains the copyright of material it has authorized for release under the Public Information Act of Texas.
Clearly, the documentation of the first two items mentioned in the article (which specifically includes the video of the frame grab), around the third or fourth sentence, are "released." Further down the CNN article page, the CNN reporter Hemmer asks the state prosecuter Odom if any more such documents (other evidence described by Odom as "additional videos") will be released into the "public domain." Hemmer is a professional reporter and uses such terms as "public domain" with their professional meaning.
It is indisputable that the video is public domain, and the only reason this image was originally challenged was because GeorgHH mistakenly understood the states evidence video, which was released by the Attorney General, was property of CNN, followed the link at the bottom of the page in regard to CNN transcript videos of their original broadcasts and errantly concluded that CNN copyright policy regarding videos had domain over a public domain video released by the state of Texas. Thomas Anderson 22:17, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Concerning the statement at the bottom of the CNN transcript page: "TO ORDER A VIDEO OF THIS TRANSCRIPT, PLEASE CALL 800-CNN-NEWS OR USE OUR SECURE ONLINE ORDER FORM LOCATED AT www.fdch.com" This statement only applies to the CNN broadcast scripted above it, not the videos discussed in the transcript. If it applied to videos discussed during the broadcast, the statement would read: "TO ORDER A VIDEO DISCUSSED IN THIS TRANSCRIPT, PLEASE CALL 800-CNN-NEWS OR USE OUR SECURE ONLINE ORDER FORM LOCATED AT www.fdch.com" Therein lies GeorgHH's misunderstanding and basis for thinking the Yates Psychiatric interview video was restricted by CNN copyright stipulations of video transcripts of their broadcasts.Thomas Anderson 03:39, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
You can see from several pages of CNN transcripts that the same statement for ordering a video transcript exists at the bottom of the page (and all such pages) but in these three examples, there is no video mentioned in the article. Therefore, one can only conclude that the statement is for a recorded copy of the CNN interview, and not any videos mentioned in the article. I don't even know why this was even brought up. It is commonly understood that such statements are for ordering transcripted copies of the broadcasted program, not videos mentioned in the article.

Could someone with a little expertise remove the GFDL tag from the Yates photo page? I only intended the PD because tag. When I uploaded the frame grab, I may have chosen the incorrect path of what was then a new and unfamiliar procedure to me designed by Wikipedians to prevent the use of certain fair use images. GeorgHH was uncertain of licensing because of this error. Once this is fixed, there should be no issues remaining with the licensing or rationale. Thanks.

Patricia, there are no restrictions governing the use of such material according to the Texas Public Information Act. Therfore anyone, newspapers, TV, publishers and Wikipedia can use the material however they choose. The cited article of the CNN reporter talking with state officials refers to such material being released into the "public domain."
May a governmental body ask me why I want the records?
No, a governmental body is forbidden from inquiring about the purpose for which the records will be used.TX PIA Clearly, the state of Texas has surrendered its right to govern the use or purpose of such materials. In this case, the Attorney General had to authorize the video before allowing it to fall under the terms of the PIA, but the cited article from CNN makes it clear that has already happened for the video.72.64.47.146 02:00, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, unfortunately. I think that Anderson is confusing public record with public domain. While the Texas Attorney General may not claim a copyright on documents released into public record, it has no legal authority to release already copyrighted works into the public domain. The copyright to these tapes is held by the state psychiatrist responsible for making them or by the state of Texas. The only way to ascertain the copyright status of this tape, or to request an explicit release, is to contact the relevant governmental body. ˉanetode╦╩ 16:25, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
Keep, Anetode, I'm not the one who confused terms. If anyone did, then it was the professional journalist of CNN. Please read the cited CNN article. He didn't say "public record" he said "public domain," and he said it to a Texas D.A. who didn't object to that word usage. I don't think these professionals are mistaken about their word selections. I believe they meant "public domain" when they said it.
While I agree that if a clearly copyrighted work becomes "public record" under the PIA, a Harry Potter book for example, because it was evidence in a case, the copyright is still valid according to the Texas PIA. Now please think about this for a moment. That tape was made by the defense attorney's hired psychiatrist, Dr. Lucy Puryear. If it was made by her, then she would own the copyright or the defense team who paid for it would. Notice that ATTY Parnham wanted to supress the release of the video by the State of Texas because taken out of context by the media, it could create the wrong impression and alter public opinion against his client in a negative way. If Parnham or Puryear owned the copyright, they wouldn't need to surpress the release of the video to the terms of the PIA through the court, they would simply refuse that anyone could publish it in part or even in whole to any of the media who would first require their permission. That alone proves they don't have the copyright. That leaves only Texas who could hold the copyright if indeed one exists, and that would give them power to control the how the public intends to use of the video, but the Texas PIA clearly states that they have surrendered this control.Thomas Anderson 07:31, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
The CNN transcript records an informal interview, not testimony, so I doubt the D.A. would have made sure to correct the reporter either way. Note also that in the very next question after the reporter says "public domain" he uses "public record" instead. Now consider copyright law, if the tape was made by Puryear, then she owns the copyright. In order to substantiate the public domain claim, you need either a) an explicit release from Puryear; b) verification of release into the public domain from the Attorney General's office; c) clear reference to public domain in the language of the relevant statute, or d) proof that the taped interview does not contain copyrightable content. Without any of these, we are left to assume public domain status based only on faith. ˉanetode╦╩ 22:29, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
Public domain is a subset of public record. Driver's licensing and other such personal information on individuals is public record, but not public domain. You are only assuming he corrected himself. There is no evidence of such in the transcript. He can refer to the video being in both categories and still be correct. You also ignored my argument that Puryear could not own the copyright. If she did, then as part of the defense team she could simply refuse to allow anyone to broadcast it, as the defense team desired in their seeking to block this "public record" document's release into the "public domain."72.64.37.16 05:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
It's true that I am assuming that the reporter corrected himself, much like you assumed that he was correct in mentioning public domain in the first place. This is the problem with using passing mentions from media interviews to attempt to prove copyright. The argument that Puryear could not own the copyright is likewise fraught with assumptions and lacking in any substantial evidence. Puryear could own the copyright, and there is no explicit release, ignoring your own statements, to prove that she does not. Again, we need better proof than "if, then" assumptions. ˉanetode╦╩ 15:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
This whole deletion process was started with errant assumptions initiated by a German speaking editor who assumed CNN owned the video. When that editor was shown his error, he didn't remove his deletion request. It was followed up by an assumption by another that I didn't understand the definition of "public domain" and a Portugese editor who assumed "public domain" isn't a subset of "public record." I'm surprised and baffled you haven't caught on to that yet. My sources aren't if/then assumptions, but people who know the ownership of the copyright, and they refered to it as "public domain."
The following email proves at least Dr. Lucy Puryear, whom the CNN article proves made the video, does not own the video. So hold your "delete horses" and let me follow up on her request. Of course I'm assuming Dr. Puryear knows she doesn't own the copyright when she says so.

I believe it is "public domain", but you would need to check with her

Thanks for following up with the contact. This is the sort of proof I was talking about. Are you going to e-mail Parnham? If so, please forward the exchange to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. Someone at OTRS will file a ticket to verify the licensing details. After that, the whole deletion discussion will be moot. ˉanetode╦╩ 22:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Great, the Portuguese editor, and I guess the German one too, will be grateful to see that permission. BTW, I have OTRS access, I can close the request with a permission as soon as you get it and send it. Regards. Patrícia msg 22:48, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
I asked Parnham through his paralegal if he owned the copyright. He responded in a round about way. First he thanked me for the help I provided his Private Investigator during the case, but he said the video was a "psychiatric interview," and as such "requires authorization," then he asked me to understand. He didn't say from whom the authorization should come (Dr. Puryear didn't express any need for authorization from her) or whether or not he owned the copyright. This is consistent with his desire expressed in the CNN transcript for the video not to be released by the State of Texas, and I think he was using court room speak tactics to stop the use of the video without having the copyright authority to do so. Maybe he does own the copyright, but he could have clearly said he did, and that he doesn't want to authorize its use in this case. I wrote again asking for clarification on who owns the copyright, but in reflection, since he seems concerned that any use of the video is not beneficial to his client, I'm inclined not to use it since it was only my intention to convey how sick the woman was (which I thought was consistent with his own purpose). Therefore, please delete the image promptly. I apologize for having wasted your time over this.72.64.42.106 02:24, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

The main problem, the one that makes this a derivative work, is the girl's photo in the middle. This is copyrighted, because all UK works are, by law and without any action needed on the part of the artist or publisher. It's no good talking about "freedom of panorama" or "de minimis" or whatever: the central photo is what this image is about, this is a derivative image of that photo. Unless the central photo of Madeleine has been released under a free license, then this image is not under a free license and it has to be removed. The girl's family have released the picture for a specific purpose (and hence with an implicit license), but have they really released it for any purpose? Any purpose?. It can be used as "fair use" but not on the Commons. --Simonxag 02:32, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

I think User:Flominator is complaining that that phrase tacked on the end, "to use in Herbie articles", may imply it can't be used for other purposes. So removing that clause (if that's ok with David Evans) would solve that problem. But I expect you would be best to get some correspondence from "David Evans" as evidence that he has indeed given permission for its release under GFDL (or other license), and file it in the OTRS system. --Tony Wills 07:54, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:AntonNilson.jpg

"Certainly before 1969" is not a valid photographer died before 1944 license --Patstuart 15:06, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

"For photographic pictures (fotografiska bilder), such as images of the press, the image is public domain if created before January 1, 1969" so it's the creation date that is an issue. // Liftarn

Ah. Well, that helps out a lot (I was dearly confused). But may I ask, how does one distinguish between photographic pictures and photographic works? Patstuart 16:32, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
And even if we can say for sure what "picture" and "work" mean, can we be sure which this is? If it's a press photo it's presumably OK, but I've looked at the source website and there's no indication there of the circumstances in which this image was produced. --Simonxag 19:14, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
I think it boils down to the purpose of the picture. As I understand it if the purpose was artistic it's a photographic work (fotografiskt verk), but if the purpose is to show and illustrate the subject it's a photographic picture (fotografisk bild). // Liftarn
Well, he would be 82 years-old in 1969, hence the "certainly before 1969". I'll close this as keep. Patrícia msg 15:58, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

It is from 1936-1939. If the copyright owner is the painter, he would have to have died in 1936 (1937 if Wikipedia allows it to remain unlicensed until next 1st January) to keep the 70-years rule. If the owner is an organization, I think it would be legal from 1st January. The Spanish Ministry of Culture tags it as anonymous (1936-1939).

Symbol keep vote.svg Keep Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if you hire someone to take a picture for you, you generally own the copyright. That's why the photographer gives you the negatives (because they have no rights over the image). --Simonxag 02:30, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Where I live, one usually does not get the negatives, and the copyright is with the photographer. I don't know whether such portraits would count as "works made for hire" in the U.S. Lupo 10:47, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
A few countries indeed do have the rule that the copyright on a photo is bound to the negatives, and is passed along when the negatives are given away. Italy once had that rule, and Chile still does, AFAIK. Most countries, however, do not have that rule at all. And anyway it appears that this is neither an Italian nor a Chilean nor a U.S. work.

[edit] Image:Img 0003 medium.jpg

The photo shows a military area (sv:Robotförsöksplats Norrland). The yellow sign on the fence seems to be a standard sign on Swedish military installations, saying that photographing of the area behind the fence is prohibited for military reasons. Although the picture probably doesn't show the most critical part of the complex, a protected military object is still a protected military object. --Essin 21:45, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

The yellow sign (wich originate from WW II!) says it's prohibited to take pictures of any activitets without permission while you are inside the fence, not outside! That interpretation have allready been tested in court. This picture shows a decomissioned robot put on a pole for a public, very static display, for everyone and anyone to see, and nothing else! You can take as many pictures as you want of it, and the fence, and the sign, and no one could care less if you also get the house in the background in it too! A matter of fact is that the entire RFN base is not the top secret place it use to be anymore. It's more of a commercial business with foreign customers on an almost weekly basis. Deleting this picture would do nothing but ridicule Swedish Wikipedia! That goes for the entirely RFN article too! --Towpilot 02:16, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Symbol keep vote.svg Keep Does this mean that the picture is itself illegal or just the activity that produced it? Is holding or using this picture illegal under some jurisdiction? Is this a problem?

[edit] Image:Lautaro (de Pedro Subercaseaux).jpg

Pedro Subercaseaux died in 1956, not 70 years ago:. The {{PD-Chile}} tag may not apply. However, he did die before 1962, and appears to be have been died a divorced man es:Pedro Subercaseaux (at least according to my reading of the page; the position is unsourced): dying unmarried is one of the possible conditions (does divorce apply?). If this image is thus free, these images should all be so marked.

Also:

Hi Pat Stuart,

I can't follow you. Do you want to delete the works or to correct the license?

I repeat. The usa-license is irrelevant. The Chilean one applies to this case. I look Template_talk:PD-Chile

  • if the author died before September 16, 1962, without a surviving spouse. (he died 1956).
  • he divorced from her (former) wife (Elvira Lyon Otaégui) with authorization of the pope. (So he had no wife as he died.)

Under Chilean law this works are free for us.

If you want to correct the license, go on. But if you want to delete the works, you are wrong.

Saludos,

Antipatico.

Where does this "died before 1962 without a surviving spouse" come from? The Spanish text of the 1970 law given at Template talk:PD-Chile says "respecto de sus herederos, legatarios o cesionarios" (heirs, legatees, or assignees). The spouse bit was introduced only in 1992. Lupo 08:59, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi,

  • there was a law: Ley Nº 17.336, sobre Propiedad Intelectual, de 2 de octubre de 1970 (->30 years protection)
  • law 19.166 changed this law =>Ley Nº 17.336, tras la modificación de la Ley Nº 19.166, del 17 de septiembre de 1992:
  • this day (17 de septiembre de 1992) finished the 30-years protection of the works whose creator died before (1992-30years)=16 de septiembre 1962. Those works are free.

It does not matter "herederos, legatarios o cesionarios". It is free because the 30 years are over, for any claim of the "herederos, legatarios o cesionarios".

Greetings, --[[User:Createaccount]] 13:31, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Maybe. Are you sure it shouldn't be "died before January 1, 1962"? Copyright terms usually are counted from January 1 following the event that caused the term to run. Hence they expire at the end of the year. A copyright on a work of an author who died September 16, 1962 would have expired only on December 31, 1992. Lupo 14:46, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi,

may be that 16 september 1962 should be the logical time for expiration of the rights. Perhaps there are another rule in the Chilean law for such issues.

Who/When will be close the deletion request?

Best regards, --[[User:Createaccount]] 16:55, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

El problema, Createaccount, es que la plantilla se contradice.

Si el autor falleció antes del 18 de Noviembre de 1954, sin cónyuge sobreviviente, ni hijas solteras, viudas o casadas con incapaz para todo género de trabajo vs. el autor falleció hasta el 16 de Septiembre de 1962, sin cónyuge sobreviviente. ¿Cuál es? Si tuviera una hija soltera en 1956, la licencia no bastaría según la primera frase, pero sí bastaría según la segunda. Patstuart 18:29, 6 November 2007 (UTC)


Hi,

se exigen condiciones diferentes:

  • A=muere 16 de septiembre de 1962 o antes
  • B=muere 18 de noviembre de 1954 o antes
  • C=sin esposa aun viva al momento de morir
  • D=sin existir "hijas solteras, viudas o casadas con incapaz para todo género de trabajo" al momento de morir

Hay algunas sobreposiciones, por ejemplo D=>C  ; B=>A  ; D+B=>A+C , etc. Pero eso no nos debe interesar. Pertenecen al lastre legal chileno producido por los cambios en la ley que se adapta a las necesidades del pais.

En ninguna de las paginas que he leido aparece indicacion sobre algun descendiente. Mas aun, el se convirtio en cura y ella en monja. No creo que el Papa los hubiese divorciado si hubieran tenido descendencia.

Asi es que en nuestro caso se aplica A+C. Este caso esta contemplado en la plantilla con el numero 1:

  • el autor falleció hasta el 16 de Septiembre de 1962, sin cónyuge sobreviviente

para lo cual la ley prevee que la obra es de dominio publico. Creo que ya no hay impedimentos para retirar la solicitud de borrado.

Saludos,--[[User:Createaccount|Antipatico]] 21:56, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Las obras de Subercaseaux están en dominio público, puesto que las leyes de derechos de autor no son retroactivas. Al morir Subercaseaux en 1954, soltero, sus obras estuvieron protegidas por hasta 25 ó 30 años según lo establecido por el DL 345 de 1925 (el cual no está disponible en internet). Así, pasaron al dominio público en 1969 ó 1974 (en este último caso, bajo los preceptos de la Ley 17.336 que asegura los 30 años). Cualquier ley posterior simplemente no afecta el hecho de que las pinturas de Subercaseaux están bajo el dominio público. --B1mbo 21:24, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
(In English) The works of Subercaseaux are in the public domain because the laws of intellectual property aren't applied retroactively. When Subercaseaux died in 1954, single, his works were protected 25 or 30 years according to DL-345 or 1925 (not available in internet). So, they entered in PD in 1969 or 1974 (in the last case, they were affected by the Law 17.336 that confirms the 30 years). Any law after doesn't affect the fact that the works of Subercaseaux are in the Public Domain. Symbol keep vote.svg Keep --B1mbo 00:53, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Symbol keep vote.svg Keep These searches lead to a very mixed bag of images. Some may be copyvios and need individually deleting and some may need deleting for other reasons (eg usability). Others won't. "Fan art" is defined on the Commons page as derivative from copyrighted material, but what uploaders have called fan art seems to be just about anything they've produced themselves. --Simonxag 22:55, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

If the uploaders call their work "fan art", they imply that they have produced derivative works themselves, and we should believe what they say (assume good faith). Teofilo 12:21, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
If a particular work is derivative of copyrighted material not freely licensed it must go. A fan drawing of Dracula (from the description in the novel) would be derivative of a PD work, an original fan drawing of a pop star would not be derivative at all. A fan drawing of a Star Wars vehicle derived exclusively from a PD patent drawing eg Image:At-at.png would be an interesting item for discussion! --Simonxag 21:56, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

GFDL says you can copy and recreate the image for any purpose, so long as it's credited, as does cc-by. It does not say that the derivatives themselves cannot be placed under a similar but different copyright (I would think that the creative commons license would be very careful to avoid such wording). cc-by-2.0 is a fine common denominator.

[edit] template:US state seal round 2

(previously nominated as Commons:Deletion requests/Template:US state seal) / Fred J 10:32, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

OK, I'm not a regular here on Commons and there's no documentation on {{tfd}} about how to nominate a template a for deletion second time.

Basically, this template as it currently stands is just flat out wrong and very badly wrong at that. State seals are the works of state governments -- not of the U.S. federal government, and they cannot be assumed to be public domain on that basis.

For example, the seal of the state of Michigan is controlled by several state laws as described here. In particular, Section 5 of the Act [MCL 2.45] further regulates the use of the Great Seal. This section states that no facsimile or reproduction of the Great Seal may be used in any manner unconnected with the official business of the state. Section 6 [MCL 2.46] indicates that a violation of the Great Seal Act is a misdemeanor. If the seal were in the public domain, such restrictions on use would be meaningless. I expect that most states have similar statutes regulating their seals. To assume that simply because some U.S. embassy produced a canned informational package containing the seals that that makes the seals works of the U.S. government and therefore public domain is ridiculous. Bkonrad 02:19, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Symbol keep vote.svg Keep These restrictions have nothing to do with copyright. It's an emblem law like they exist in many other countries, designed to prevent misuses of the emblem. We, however, don't "use" the seal; we show it. (If we'd replace our Commons logo with the state seal, we'd arguably be "using" it to imply some affiliation with or endorsement by the state of Michigan.) Let's stick with the en:Seal of Michigan as an example. Copyright-wise, I would think the definition of the Michigan state seal is PD. The COA dates back to 1835, the current design apparently was adopted in 1911.[16] Now, the state of Michigan may or may not have a copyright on their particular rendering of that seal, as shown e.g. at that previous link. But the rendering from the U.S. embassy in Germany, shown at Image:Michiganstateseal.jpg is, IMO, sufficiently different from that of Michigan to be eligible for its own copyright as an independent rendering of the same definition, within the bounds imposed by heraldic conventions. So, the state of Michigan cannot claim copyright on the drawing done by a U.S. federal employee (we presume) for the U.S. embassy in Germany from the PD definition of the seal. Hence I would think that the rendering at the U.S. embassy indeed is PD as a U.S. governmental work, even though the rendering from michigan.gov may be copyrighted. Just tag them with {{Insignia}} and be done with it. Well, maybe add a cautionary phrase that the PD copyright status applies only to this particular rendering of the seal. Lupo 16:33, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
P.S.: also see en:Wikipedia:Copyright on emblems. Lupo 16:33, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Interesting, but confusing (as I guess just about anything regarding copyright is). If something is in the public domain, how is it possible to make any enforceable regulations governing its use? The section of the law stating that no facsimile or reproduction of the Great Seal may be used in any manner unconnected with the official business of the state seems pretty unambiguous. While I'm no lawyer, that does not seem to allow any exception for distinguishing between "show" vs. "use".
I really don't care all that much about whether the images themselves are on Commons -- My objection is that this template as it is currently phrased seems to imply that a work of state government is in the public domain by virtue of the the public domain status of works of the U.S. federal government. That seems misleading. Both Image:Michiganstateseal.jpg and Image:Michigan_state_seal.png are on commons using this template. The image from the embassy is not actually used in any article on EN:WP -- it was the other image which was apparently derived from the actual state seal that drew my attention. I'll grant the two are not identical and it could be that the embassy image is sufficiently different to constitute a distinct creation. But, if that is the case, then the embassy image is only an approximation of the actual seal. Bkonrad 04:09, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Any state is free to make whatever rules it wants beyond copyright, even if such rules might restrict possible "uses" of copyright-free works. Consider the idea of the "domaine publique payant" (i.e., rules that say you have to pay a license fee to the state for uses of PD works). Thankfully this idea, although explicitly mentioned in some countries' copyright laws, didn't really catch on. Or consider {{personality rights}} issues that might make certain uses of certain images not ok. (E.g., using a PD-USGov image of the American President in an advertisement to imply your product was endorsed by him would be a singularly bad idea.) Or consider laws regulating money: even though in some countries, bank notes are explicitly not copyrighted (Switzerland, or Russia, to name just two), there are other laws that prohibit using images of bank notes to print your own money. The thing with insignia is similar.
Image:Michiganstateseal.jpg is clearly not a "facsimile"; it looks more like an independently drawn graphical representation. It is, because heraldry allows variations in specific renderings, a valid representation of the seal, but it is not the seal. But in any case, the image tagging should be improved; I suppose the U.S. embassy has only one version of that Michigan seal. One of the two images is mis-tagged; probably Image:Michigan_state_seal.png. If so, and if that one is indeed the michigan.gov variation, it would not be PD-USGov but might be copyrighted by the state of Michigan. Lupo 10:11, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Well, yes certain "uses" of images may be regulated such as {{personality rights}} -- but that regulation is really unrelated to whether the image is in the public domain. As to the question of whether the image is a facsimile or not, that seems to be splitting hairs. I expect that in a case where a use of the "official" seal image were illegal under Michigan law, the use of the supposedly public domain image from the embassy website in the same context would also be illegal. The embassy image satisfies the description of the seal under state law and the supposed copyright status is irrelevant.
But really, once again, my primary objection to this template is the current phrasing, which seems to imply that the seals of state governments are works of the federal government -- that is just wrong. My initial, admittedly clumsy attempts to revise the template were reverted and I was directed to nominate it for deletion, which led to here. I'd be happy with revising the template to remove the incorrect and very misleading implication that emblems of state governments are works of the U.S. federal government. This template should be clarified to state that these images are independent creations approximating the official state seals, and that it is these independent creations that are the work of an employee of the federal government. (Oh, and also the images to which this template is applied need to be verified that they came from the embassy website and not from state websites or other sources). Bkonrad 15:25, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Kept. If the wording of the template is wrong, it can be changed by any editor. Sandstein 12:07, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Human_penis_both_flaccid_and_erect.jpg

I think Commons have enough penis images. EugeneZelenko 15:43, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep The commons might have a lot of penis images, but the fact of the matter is that every image on the Wikipedia "penis" article shows something different. This image shows an circumcised penis in both flaccid and erect states. There is another image on this page that shows an uncircumsized penis in both flaccid and erect states. On most articles a small difference like this would be unimportant. (ie: showing both smooth peanut butter and chunky peanut butter on the "peanut butter" article.) However, because a penis is something private and most people can't walk into their local grocery store to see, I vote we keep this image. It is educational because it is something that is not easily observed, and many people (especially women) do not know the visual difference between an circumsized and uncircumsized penis. Also, the penis is that of an African American, making it more unique, as 90%+ of the images are of Caucasians. --lightintheattic 06:55, 9 November 2007 (UTC) Abusing multiple accounts --Herby talk thyme 08:38, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Le Départ des poilus,août 1914.jpg

Herter died in 1950, therefore the work is still copyrighted. As far as I know, there is no Freedom of Panorama in France. --User:G.dallorto 04:02, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

It's may be little be more complicated... Herter gave this painting to "People of France" for a permanent exhibition in gare de l'Est. As far as I know the former east railway company in charge of the gare de l'Est in 1920s and now the SNCF don't owned this painting but are just depository. I think as considered property of the french state, without opposite order, paintings are freedom of panorama. But I don't know if the 70 years after death rule applied if the painter have given his painting. Do he or his heirs still have rights on the given work (except moral rights that french law keep give to the author) ? TCY 20:28, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Symbol delete vote.svg Delete Giving the painting is not the same as giving the copyright to the painting. The same goes for selling the painting. You may own a thing but the copyright stays with the author (unless they also choose to transfer that, which they generally don't). Freedom of panorama would apply if this was a picture of something else in which the picture happened to appear, but this is a photo of the painting. --Simonxag 22:01, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Reasons for deletion request: Author Nickolas Muray died in 1965 (less then 70 years ago), copyright of George Eastman House, Rochester, NY according to http://www.eastman.org/ar/strip17/htmlsrc/m197701890019_ful.html#topofimage --Mason 21:37, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment Page says date of work is 1920, confirmed by Eastman site. If this is a US work from 1920, this photo is PD-US due to copyright expiration regardless of photographer's death date or any claim of copyright by the website. Do we have information on if this work was produced in the USA and published? -- Infrogmation 01:01, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
Per their respective Wikipedia articles, photographer Muray and subject Adler were both in the USA in 1920, so I presume the photo was taken in the USA. I am therefore retagging it as "PD-US" and closing this as a keep. If there is reason to think that this is incorrect, please relist. -- Infrogmation 15:59, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi

Image:TheCollectedWorksOfMahatmaGandhiVolII.djvu, Image:TheCollectedWorksOfMahatmaGandhiVolIII.djvu, Image:TheCollectedWorksOfMahatmaGandhiVolVIII.djvu, Image:TheCollectedWorksOfMahatmaGandhiVolIX.djvu, Image:TheCollectedWorksOfMahatmaGandhiVolXIV.djvu

All tagged PD-US, which is incorrect for Commons, since they're not US works. According to [23], I believe Gandhi's writings are copyrighted either 60 years PMA, or 60 years post-publication (for posthumously published items); 60 years PMA would expire 1 Jan 2009. Furthermore, these files all contain prefaces, footnotes, and endnotes that are separately copyrighted by the Navajivan Trust. --Davepape 16:13, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

However the law is quite clear. All works published before 1923 are public domain in US, not only US works. And actually the first three texts (volume 2, 3 & 8) were first published in South Africa, where the law is 50 years pma, not in India. Would {{PD-South-Africa}} be OK? I deleted volume 9: it was the wrong volume (30 instead of 9). Yann 16:39, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
True, things that he wrote in South Africa are probably PD-South-Africa (and PD-US), but I don't think that's true for all of these writings. e.g. the Green Pamphlet (first thing in Vol. II) is about South Africa, but was written and published in India, according to the prefatory notes. And I'll reiterate that the additional materials are not by Gandhi, and appear to still be copyrighted, meaning the books as a whole shouldn't be on Commons. The parts that can be determined to be properly free ought to be extracted and uploaded by themselves - a worthy project, just (unfortunately) not as easy as uploading the book as a whole. --Davepape 02:10, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Symbol delete vote.svg Delete US case law allows this, but the written US law and the US's international treaty obligations do not. So the Commons only allows PD-US on US published works. --Simonxag 21:01, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:507th_Air_Refueling_Group.png

This image (if you squint hard enough to read it) is not the emblem of the 507th Air Refueling Group, but rather the emblem of the 507th Air Refueling Wing. Some background research at the Air Force Historical Research Agency webpage [24] confirms this. Mukk 22:54, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Addendum: If the image were high quality I would suggest simply moving it, but as it stands, the AFHRA has a much higher quality version of the image and, as a US government agency, is free of copyright. --Mukk 22:56, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:HisnameisTERROR.jpg

Aside from the fact that this image is ridiculously disturbing, it serves no encyclopedic purpose, and is enough of a personal attack on the subject that we should not host it, as it probably should not be on any userpage anyway. Uploaded by user who's only contributions so far seem to have little to no encyclopedic purpose - only vilify Israel (and bin laden, perhaps?) --Patstuart 05:27, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

w:Carlos Latuff is a propagandist cartoonist. Images are uploaded to be linked with his article, and with articles about his style of work (i.e. maybe antisemitism, hate speech, smear campaign, and the like).
Also, a little while back, his more insulting work that has been linked to his article on english wikipedia have been mysteriously removed from the web - in what could be considered an attempt to seem more balanced and less offensive. the images should be kept accessible in commons so that english wikipedia won't have recurring issues with disappearing images.
in short, the reason you were insulted is the very reason these images should stay. Jaakobou 05:37, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
This seems pretty clearly to be a modified photograph of Ariel Sharon. Unless there's evidence that Latuff took the original photo, or that the original photo is PD, it's a copyvio derivative work. --Davepape 18:09, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Images of Bruno Lamothe

This is in response to a complaint at COM:AN/U. User:Bruno Lamothe has already had many images deleted as obvious copyvios (see User_talk:Bruno_Lamothe#Violations_de_copyright), but he has several left which are equally obvious copyvios. Some are not obvious copyvios, but they are all listed above. I suppose it's entirely possible that this user works deep in the French government, and has been taking photos sitting right next to some of these people as they were in government sessions, but given the other copyvios, this user has shown he is not to be trusted with pd-self tags. Patstuart 18:24, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

You're right: according to his bio, he is deeply involved in French politics and might well have taken several of those photos. Nonetheless, there are blatant copyvios and each time he is asked about their copyright status, he fails to give any explanations.
Finally, he apparently misunderstands the notion of derivative work. When asked about Image:Thomas Dumerchez Le clan 2004.jpg authorship, he answers that since he has digitally modified the pictures, it's now his own work ("travail personnel").
In doubt, it's better to delete all those images. — Xavier, 19:58, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Evidence please. The nominator says "Some are not obvious copyvios" so find some evidence, or leave them alone. Xavier says "In doubt, it's better to delete", I ask "better" in what respect?. It seems we are developing a culture of "innocent until accused". The aim of commons is to develop a media bank, ie collect images, not find any reason at all to exclude them. Treat every image on merit, and deal with the uploader appropriately if he persists on uploading proved copy violations. --Tony Wills 01:44, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
For images where the uploader claims to be the copyright holder, the only evidence we have that the licensing is valid is the uploader's credibility, so we have to look at the images in the context of who uploaded them. When an uploader habitually makes demonstrably fraudulent claims of authorship, those claims obviously lose their credibility. We would not be acting in good faith if we trusted such claims blindly. Developing a media bank is also about protecting its legal integrity. LX (talk,contribs) 09:55, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
Oh, that's perfect ! "In doubt, it's better to delete all those images"... In doubt, I can imagine you would sentence to death many people...

Why not, after all.

All this images heve been taken in different conditions. Logo's, for exemple, of they many organisms and associations are not subjected to copyright. The Alabama Song book cover, is a scan image : you can see on the right of the image a darker zone. For many of the others, they're not subject to copyright because either I follow by it the author, or they are public.

Anyhow, before wanting judge (and condemn) somebody, please, bring the proof of what you say, and not simple assumptions. --Bruno Lamothe 09:40, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Death penalty? Oh please, spare us this Godwinian rhetoric! You're not pleading in court, you are on Commons and, on Commons, you must bring the proof that we have the right to use, modify and restribute images of others, even commercially. Ask yourself this question: would you sell postcards or posters of those images without fearing to be sued by their original copyright owner? Public relation pictures may be "public", that does not automatically mean they are copyright free and that you can omit the actual author when reusing them.
Now, tell us: you invariably claim authorship of the pictures you uploaded on Commons but which photographs did you really take and which are originally the work of others ? Then, for each of the latter, please update the Source (URL for example) and Author (original author, followed by your name if you did some non-trivial work on it) fields accordingly. Next you'll have to bring us the proof that they are public domain. — Xavier, 11:38, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

For sure, i'm not pleading my case in a court... That's right. But, in France, it's the french rules which are applied, including in right of intellectual ownership, or of administration of proof. If you want delete some pictures, or all of my images, you can, that's under your responsability, that'll be your decision, but don't accuse me of things that you coul'nt prove. It's not a big deal. Bruno lamothe, 15:06, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, you still aren't providing the information you are requested so that your images are kept on this site. It has already been proven that several of those images are the exact copy of pictures available on the Internet, so it's time for you to go beyond the "I'm innocent, you have no right to accuse me" argument. If you really are the author of those pictures, why fetch them on the Internet ? Just upload your own version in full resolution, and that will be fine. — Xavier, 15:13, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

If you want, you can delete all the pictures. And my user count. Thank U for everything. I don't want to fight for this type of things. — Bruno Lamothe, 17:00, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Music uploaded by Bossa Nova Baby

Obvious copyvios

Already tagged as copyvios:

Probably copyvios

These songs are quite old but AFAIK are not yet in public domain:

The composer died more than 70 years ago but not the performers who are unknown (but they might have given up their rights):

Maybe not copyvios

Status is uncertain: the composer died more than 70 years ago but the performer might be the uploader or it could be a public domain MIDI file played by a electronic musical instrument.


Bossa Nova Baby (talk contribs) is known to have uploaded copyrighted music (Britney Spears) in the past. (S)he seems to believe that any music available for free download is copyright free. (S)he is claiming a wrong license (CC-by-SA and EFF OAL) and doesn't give a precise URL for the source. Claimed source ("the Al Goldstein collection in the Pandora Music repository at ibiblio.org") seems wrong and copy-pasted from other valid contents.

Symbol delete vote.svg Delete I happen to know that the Platters sides are still under copyright. You are quite correct to observe that while such pieces as the Grieg may be public domain, the recordings of the perfomances can be a different matter. I don't see much use in spending lots of time trying to sort through a few possibly free items in a large pile of copyright violations-- unless the uploader starts to demonstrate some understanding of copyright and makes effort to sort and properly source their uploads themself, delete the lot of them. -- Infrogmation 23:42, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
I interpret that as "Delete because I can not be bothered proving that it is a copy-violation". Why don't we just give up on the whole project on the basis that it is too much work and we can never be sure anything is really free licensed? The imperative on commons should be to assume good faith in all cases - this does not mean assume good faith until suspicious. Treat every item on merit, delete obvious copy violations, and if in doubt look for evidence. Demonstrate that we do not accept copy-violations, and protect peoples rights to the best of our abilities. It is not reasonable to assume copy-violation on suspicion and the size of the project is not sufficient reason to cut corners. --Tony Wills 02:20, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
I agree items should be treated on merit, and assumption of good faith should be the starting possition. However I think that users who have repeatedly uploaded copyright violations have forfeited that assumption of good faith (unless they show some indication that they realize they have made a mistake). If you wish to research and find the actual source, artist, and copyright status of any or all these uploads, and show which ones if any are free licenced, you are not only welcome to do so, you will win my admiration for your work. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 02:44, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Deleted. Most of the files where corupt anyway (Couldn't read file: Incorrect magic number.), so even with source not useable. For the rest (actually just one file was left after deleting the corrupt ones): Good faith is a nice and great concept, but it does and should not work anymore as soon as a user prooves that he she does not want or can't understand the rules and act within them. A untrustworthy user is not somebody who should be treated with good faith, because he/she just violates that faith. Cecil 13:40, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Not simple enough to be "ineligable for copyright". Possibly PD for other (non stated) reasons. Lokal_Profil 22:43, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

The {{PD-ineligible}} "copyright tag" does not speak of complexity. ¦ Reisio 19:48, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

No but it does talk about "original authorship" and almost anything involving some complexity will also require "original authorship" to be visualised. For this specific case it's obvious that there is an artistic choice for how to represent the rope, crown etc. /Lokal_Profil 02:06, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

As you said, almost anything requires original authorship, yet we also have plenty of (complex) media in the public domain - logic suggests they aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. I could list you countless images that are absolutely both public domain and of artistic original authorship. You've yet to present a good reason for the deletion of this image. ¦ Reisio 00:26, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

You really should look up the difference between the public domain tags. Yes public domain means the same thing in all cases but WHY they are in the public domain DIFFERS. Images can go inte the public domain because the copyright expires (PD-old) or because the author releases it to the public domain (PD-self, PD-user, PD-author) or because it contains no originality (PD-ineligible) or for a series of other reasons. This specific image is said to be in the public domain because it lacks originality, which is wrong and therefore it is subject to a deletion debate. /Lokal_Profil 01:28, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

If you're saying the creator/uploader should have used PD-self/-user/-author instead of PD-ineligible, it is not subject to a deletion debate, it's subject to a question on the Image's talk page. ¦ Reisio 18:46, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

The conclusion was that line drawings of aircraft are not PD-inegliable. Any line drawings that don't have either clear PD source (or were created by the uploader) should be deleted.

[edit] Image:Winston_Churchill.jpg

This image is {{PD-US-not renewed}} in the U.S. However, "J. Russell & Sons" was a British studio.[31] (Apparently the started business in Chichester, but later moved to London.) Their chief photographer at the time this image was taken was Walter Stoneman.[32] The UK National Portrait Gallery has a similar photo [33]. Maybe our image was taken at the same session (observe the papers on the table, and the bright thing in the background left). If so, the photographer was Cecil Beaton (1904 - 1980). I don't believe this image is PD in general. This British work should be moved back to the English Wikipedia, but it should not reside here with this U.S.-only PD-claim, and it should not be used in so many Wikipedias under this U.S.-only claim. Lupo 13:05, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

I think you are right; good work researching. Without any indication of being copyright expired or otherwise free in country of origin, this should be assumed to be copyright expired for USA only (hm, perhaps we should have something like a PD-US-only tag some day?), ok for en:Wikipedia but not Commons. -- Infrogmation 14:53, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
Yes, having such a tag on en-WP would be good. There's already en:Template:PD-US-1923-abroad... here at the Commons, we don't need such a tag; just making sure the PD-US tags are applied only to U.S. works should be good enough. Lupo 21:02, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

How about a reason? Why is it 'Not "ineligable for copyright"'? ¦ Reisio 19:46, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

For the obvious simple reason that it "contains original authorship". Or are you saying that there is only one unique way of drawing a mountain, a bird and a fish. How about a motivation for why it should be PD-ineligible./Lokal_Profil 02:04, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Original authorship and {{PD-ineligible}} are not incompatible. I'll give you two reasons against your zero why it should be PD-ineligible: (1) it is, that's how it's marked - deal with it or prove otherwise (2) many flags and coats of arms are in the public domain (I would actually guess the [vast] majority). ¦ Reisio 00:30, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

With only "deleted" as a deletion comment it's of course hard to say but most likely if the original has been deleted it is because it had licensing problems (i.e. it was copyrighted and unfree). Therefore since this is a derived work of that image it would by extention also be copyrighted and unfree.

That is true, they seem to have gotten it of someone else (Banco de Mexico), doesn't make it any more PD though.

Indeed - you weren't interested in checking the facts before you listed the image here... why start checking now? :p ¦ Reisio 00:18, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Because the source given by the uploader was FOTW and (as you put it) "assuming good faith" I assumed that that was indeed the original source of the image. Anyhow any of this is now irrelevant for this deletion debate. If you want to argue for the image being keept then please find the relevant information from Banco de Mexico saying that they are the copyrightholders and that they release the image to the Public Domain. /Lokal_Profil 01:23, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
I would hardly call assuming someone uploaded a copyrighted image without permission "assuming good faith" - don't be ridiculous, it's the polar opposite. I have sent Banco de México an email requesting information on the image. ¦ Reisio 19:46, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Nothing useful from Banco de México - guess they don't keep track of stuff from three years ago. ¦ Reisio 09:50, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
What I said was that I assumed that the uploader had checked that FOTW was the original source when he quoted that as his source, thats the extent of the assuming good faith. The part about there not being a permission is a fact since ther is in fact no link to a permission on the image page. /Lokal_Profil 20:27, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
PD does not require permission (or anything else)... ¦ Reisio 23:34, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Yes it might. Once again study the different PD-templates. For instance PD-author is the author of the image having released the image to the public domain, i.e. here on commons we would have a link to a "permission" where the copyright owner releases the rights of the image. /Lokal_Profil 00:58, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:Vailongo's pictures

Although neither source nor author are provided, I believe these uploads have been done in good faith by their author. Nonetheless, there is a strong discrepancy between flickr licenses and the ones here. Uploader must prove his identity or change the license on flickr and/or here so, that they match and are compatible with Commons. — Xavier, 00:50, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

  • * *

Ok, I change the flickr licenses, what's now?

Thank you for changing the license but a problem remains: non-commercial licenses (like the CC-by-NC-SA you chose) are not permitted on Commons. CC-by-SA would be OK. Then you would have to change the license of Image:Explanada.jpg to CC-by-SA too. If you don't agree with commercial use of your pictures, you can explicitely ask here for their deletion.
Finally, please, update the author and source fields of the three images, following my instructions on your talk page.
PS: You can ask for help and advice on the Spanish Village Pump. You can even speak Spanish here but I would not be able to help anymore. — Xavier, 12:07, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

a quick look into the copyright material, has me believe that i need to register on a comment that,
Jabba the Hutt is a registered trademark of the 'Lucasfilm Ltd.'[34]
i'm not yet fully sure on how to write this registration down, i'm just learning the commons mini-rules, and i've noticed that cc-by-sa, sounds like the proper license tag... i'll continue reading, and hope to sort this issue out in a bit. Jaakobou 07:22, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Bismarck,_Prinz_Eugen.jpg

Although released by the IWM the author is unknown so license does not match Denniss 23:49, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Symbol keep vote.svg Keep The IWM frequently only lists the photographer as 'Royal Navy Official Photographer', or sometimes simply 'unknown' on quite a few of its archived photographs. Records from that era are sometimes incomplete or have been lost. But as the IWM policy states - "The images featured on this site are subject to Crown Copyright protection unless otherwise indicated...Where Crown Copyright does not exist, this will always be stated." and from the specific entries for these photographs - "Access: Unrestricted". The fact the specific photographer is currently not known does not remove the validity of the tag. --Benea 00:06, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

And why would the IWM's say-so have any relevance for what is apparently a German work? Lupo 08:44, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
The provenance of these photographs is an interesting question. Unfortunately the IWM does not go into specific detail about how it acquired these images, which is a shame. But unless it can be proved that the Imperial War Museum does not have the right to do what it has done, then we are working on the basis of assumptions and as you point out, you do not know the full story. The use of these images is in accordance with wikipedia policy, in that they have been released into the public domain and then uploaded. If all you can say is that you think the IWM museum has made a mistake in doing so then that needs to be pointed out to them, as as I have pointed out, these images ARE in the public domain, and your belief that they should not be is a subjective opinion from a position of not knowing the full provenance of these photographs. --Benea 11:59, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Confiscated German war-time photos are PD in the UK as war booty. They are not PD in their country of origin, which in this case appears to be Germany. (The image page states the image was taken form another German ship, evidently by a German photographer/sailor.) In Germany, the image is PD only if the photographer died more than 70 years ago. The rules at the Commons require that a work claimed to be PD must be PD at least in the country of origin and in the U.S. Hence the status in the UK (and the IWM's statements) are besides the point. Lupo 12:41, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
It appears to be even more complicated than that! See Commons talk:Licensing#Imperial War Museum Licensing for a clearer explanation. In short, the images are PD in the UK and the US, and are not under copyright in Germany (owing to the situation that existed there post war). Modern opinion would however place these works under the copyright of the current German government and I don't particularly have a problem with that. Given that a good case can be made for their use on en-wiki, I'm happy to upload them there and see them deleted on here, rather than continuing to argue over the legal technicalities. --Benea 15:12, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Well, Carl's conjecture that such images would have been state owned is unsourced. Maybe, maybe not. The conjecture from that conjecture that such state-owned materials were PD today in Germany is completely unsupported. See en:WP:PD#German World War II images. It is sometimes a grey area, but in any case, blanket PD claims do not work for these photographs. As I understand it (and apparently I'm not alone with that understanding), most if not all such German works are copyrighted in Germany. (Unless the usual copyright with a 70-year term has expired anyway, of course.)
If you upload these images at en-WP, mark them with a statement that they should not be copied to the Commons. Thank you. Lupo 16:06, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
I was basing some of my assumptions on articles here and here; the main example is Triumph of the Will which was ruled by a German court to have owned by the Nazi Party (NSDAP) and not Leni Reifenstahl (as she claimed), and therefore ownership passed to the German government. Transit, a company wholly owned by the German government, administers the rights to that film today (outside the US and UK of course). I would presume the situation would be the same with Nazi Party photographs. The NHC version of this photo states it came from officer reports on the Prinz Eugen, so that was almost certainly NSDAP material. I'm less sure about this point, but it may also be illegal to privately own Nazi material in Germany, which could complicate things more. In any event, I'm pretty sure copyright on this is still valid in Germany. In a few years, when we pass the 70 year point, EU-Anonymous may start clouding things more. Carl Lindberg 18:41, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Carl, I know about these cases. But they're rather special cases, difficult to generalize from. And yes, in a few years EU-Anonymous claims will arrive... will be interesting to see how things work out then. Lupo 21:54, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
