[edit] Image:2007-12-08_Selbstgemachtes.jpg
Conflicting licenses. I doubt the FOP part, because it is not very likely that the text was on something permanently installed in a public place. I don't think it's ineligible because the (handwritten) text as well as the background show original authorship. rimshottalk 11:19, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Comment Sorry for renominating so quickly, but I think that the original concern (not PD-ineligible) still applies. How can we be sure that FOP applies? It's not like the image being somewhat ineligible and somewhat FOP makes it completely free. --rimshottalk 11:23, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Keep ineligible. Code·is·poetry 12:34, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Deleted. FOP does not apply to 2D artwork such as this, even if it were to have been photographed in a public place. Shows sufficient creativity for copyright. MichaelMaggs 06:55, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] April 2
Reopening. Yes, the template is currently used 8 times, but:
- These uses can easily be removed, or if that's not possible it's also possible to tag the template with {{deprecated}} and delete it once all transclusions have been removed.
- There are no equivalents for Featured articles on Commons. Featured galleries seem to have been planned once, but no one has really done anything there.
- The template wouldn't even work anyway, since the code isn't in MediaWiki:Common.css or MediaWiki:Common.js.
- We don't have any bot who regularly updates these templates like for example on de.wikipedia. Otherwise, the transclusions of this template will remain outdated.
Due to these reasons, I reopen this DR. --The Evil IP address (talk) 22:11, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Statue_of_Anne_of_Britanny_near_castle_in_Nantes_France.jpg
Statue of sculptor en:Jean Fréour (born 1919; still alive).[2] No "freedom of panorama" in France. Lupo 08:09, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Why should the French law be applied in this case in fact? Wikipedia does not have any server in France and i do not live there. It is a genuine question to make my mind on this matter. Med 16:03, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- Because a sculpture is not "published" when it erected, and for unpublished works, the country of origin is given by the author's nationality, unless it is a film (country of the residence/headquarter of the movie maker) or an architectural work (country where the work is placed)? See Berne Convention, article 5(4)(c). But you may have a point... we should clarify which country of origin we consider in the case of photos of copyrighted works. Only that of the photo? Only that of the work? Both? Lupo 09:09, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Delete - on Commons it must be free in both the US and the source country. ViperSnake151 15:19, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well, yes. In the U.S., all images of copyrighted sculptures would be not ok, because the US has no "freedom of panorama" for sculptures. De facto the Commons makes an exception for this case (contrary to our policy!) and considers only the source country for such images. But which source country? That of the sculpture? That of the photo? Or both? Lupo 22:38, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- This case is rather weird. Fréour was ordered to sculp a national French hero. He knew the - good - location of his work before, so that he could adapt his work on the surrounding buildings. Citizens and tourists are invited to marvel and photograph his work. If I would be the sculptor, my only interest would be, that my name is properly attributed. An encyclopedia as wp is the right place for all curious people, who want to know the artist`s name. Therefore: Keep (And thanks to Lupo, who found the sculptor´s name) Mutter Erde 10:19, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
If it is just a question of asking for Fréour's permission to use photos of his work, I will get in touch with him in May. Evstafiev 19:59, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hello Evstafiev. In fact i had the intention the ask him an authorization sending him a request by the way of Wikimedia France. However if you get in touch with him directly perhaps it would be better in fact. Med 13:35, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
My wife visited Fréour a few weeks ago and explained the above issue. He said he had no objections to photos of his work being used for encyclopedia articles like Wikipedia. Evstafiev 11:54, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, that is not a free license. Wikipedia-only is not good enough. Lupo 15:41, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Arenas.gif
Appears to be a logo for a Spanish soccer team, and thus presumably under copyright (unless the uploader provides evidence that he or she is the owner of the logo). --Powers 15:52, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes, it's a logo of a Spanish soccer team, Arenas de Alcabre. It's taken from the website of the team, and uploaded to this site with permission from the team, of which I am member. It's the same image we offer freely to other sites to make links to our site.

[edit] Duplicate images, orphaned or low res
Duplicate images, orphaned or low res. Check each picture to see its higher res version. diego_pmc 11:20, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- Alaska Purchase.jpg has had a higher-res image uploaded at that name recently, and also uploaded to Alaska Purchase (hi-res).jpg.
- Patent for Cotton Gin (1794).jpg and Cottonginpatent.jpg have been low res identical images since 2005, both being copies of w:Image:Cottonginpatent.jpg, uploaded to en.wp on July 9, 2004. Of those two, the name "Patent for Cotton Gin (1794).jpg" is only used on ru:Коттон-джин, while "Cottonginpatent.jpg" is widely used. Patent for Cotton Gin (1794) - hi res.jpg is a recent upload.
- My recommendation is that the closing admin reverts Cottonginpatent.jpg to the high res version timestamped "18:55, 1 April 2008", updates ru:Коттон-джин to use Cottonginpatent.jpg, and then deletes Alaska Purchase (hi-res).jpg, Patent for Cotton Gin (1794) - hi res.jpg and Patent for Cotton Gin (1794).jpg. John Vandenberg (chat) 12:08, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

- Those are orphaned - I was the one that attempted to renew the images, but though it said that the size is 3000x3000 (not actual example), when I tried to view the full image it showed me the old one. I waited some time (10 mins) and this still wasn't fixed, so I reverted my edit, and uploaded a new one. As for how much the pics are used: I replaced the old pics with the hi-res ones in all articles, so now they are orphaned. They still appear as if they are in the article, but they're not - check it yourself, and see that the hi-res image is there instead of the old one. In order words the images I nominated for deletion don't appear in any articles anymore. diego_pmc 13:40, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
-
- Image:Alaska Purchase.jpg does not appear to be the same image as Image:Alaska Purchase (hi-res).jpg. It doesn't seem to have a higher-res version, so no action is needed. Since Jayvdb's analysis, Image:Patent for Cotton Gin (1794) - hi res.jpg has become more used than Image:Cottonginpatent.jpg, and it's a better name, so I'm transferring usage to the better name and deleting the other versions.

- If you really have made them yourself in an especially made box arrangement, then you have them in a better solution. No serious photographer does that kind of work and then uses the absolute minimum resolution a camera can provide. This pictures look much to professional to be really made in that resolution. And, suspiciously enough, the EXIF-data is missing, as it is typical when you just take a downsized picture from the webpage of someone else. So if you really have made this pictures, just proove it by either providing the picture in its original size or by delivering the EXIF-data. Until then
Delete, because when looking at the deletion log of this user and the reasons for the deletions, it is more than obvious that the user doesn'r respect copyright at all. -- Cecil 16:13, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

- My first uploads upon joining were truly copyright violations, being new and unfamiliar with the licensing process. The other company-supplied images, I have PROVEN and attempted to obtain consent according to our policies, I am completely in compliance with the no non-free content policies. Now you threaten to remove MY images because you can't find a reason they're mine? That's ludicrous. The images were made in a crappy cardboard light box with a mediocre Canon G10 and then cropped down using IrfanView. That's all there is to it. I don't have the original size since when I cropped and saved the images I overwrote the existing filed with the edited image. I can't explain the lack of EXIF data, maybe IrfanView does not support that. No idea, don't care. Koalorka 19:38, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

These files were taken from the official finnish military website, but they are not a part of a decision or statement. Code·is·poetry 08:40, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- The PD-USGov is also not a official statement or a decision. I'm against the delition--Sanandros 09:18, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
This images from the finnish military website are not part of an official decision or statement. Thus that licence does not apply for the pictures and can't be used. It only can be used for exactly what the licence said, so while your finnish speaking partner is correct on the licence, the pictures are not useable for it.
Delete. -- Cecil 16:13, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: show some good faith. Nowadays thanks to forums such as strobist and others providing tutorials and DIY tips it's child's play to make nice 'professional'-looking studio shots with the help of off-camera flashguns, diffusers & softboxes and whatnot (at a cost of next to nothing). Perhaps the uploader is uncomfortable with the idea to give away high resolution shot and thus limits his/her uploads to typical better-than-average web resolutions (when I was active here once upon a time I limited my contributions to no longer than 1024 or 1200 pixels on the long side for that reason). Perhaps a re-upload containing EXIF would satisfy the curious? The FDF ones must probably go thanks to
zealotscopyright law experts such as rtc et al. Cheers, 88.148.193.92 15:05, 10 April 2008 (UTC)- If it would have been a user without a huge log of copyvio-contributions I wouldn't have that much a problem showing some good faith, even so at Commons it is a little bit difficult, because most contributors mean their best, but lack in knowledge of copyright laws. According to Koalorkas claim he overwrote the original files and the EXIF-data too, which is a little bit much to take in combination to his log. But some proposition: Koalorka should make one picture of all the 4 weapons together, with the same camera and without removing the exif-data. Doesn't need to be a good quality, just enough to see that it are the same. Since he claims that it are his personal firearms that should not be a problem. -- Cecil 17:13, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- No, I don't own all the guns anymore, the 686 and CS-1 are gone. This is pretty ridiculous. Since I have released MY images into the public domain for anyone on this planet to use, if you feel my explanation is insufficient because of my history, you can go ahead delete them and then re-upload them yourself. I don't need attribution. Will that make you feel better? Koalorka 18:58, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Delete No proof of claims --Anonymous101 20:25, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Delete Having looked at the deleted uploads, the above are very similar. The history here plus a lack of exif data are highly suspicious. AGF is fine and dandy, but not in cases such as these. – Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 02:47, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Istanbul Archaeological Museum
I have put the tag not because I necessarily want to delete the category but to draw attention to this issue. The English Wiki has a different name "Istanbul Archaeology Museum", there seem to be various possibilities as to the name of the museum in English. Any feedback is more than welcome. --Gryffindor 18:23, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- The official page in Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism website reads "Istanbul Archaeology Museum", so does a related New York Times article. I googled them just to be sure. The resultant figures are: 14,500 hits for "Istanbul Archaeology Museum", and 7,430 hits for "Istanbul Archaeological Museum".
- Nevertheless, I should also state that a related Lonely Planet article cites the name as "İstanbul Archaeological Museum", but used the phrase "the Archaeology Museum" within the first paragraph. --Chapultepec 22:49, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- (copy of the message left on Gryffindor's talk page) FWIW, I did a quick JSTOR search (same as a Google search, JSTOR is an academic journal archive) and found out "Istanbul Archaeology Museum" counts 12 hits, "Archaeological Museum of Istanbul" 41 hits and "Istanbul Archaeological Museum" 190 hits. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 10:05, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- (copy of the message left on Gryffindor's talk page) If it can help you, I have the official guide of the museum (written by its director) and its title is "Archaeological Museum of Istanbul". Μαρσύας? 17:30, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- (copy of the message left on Gryffindor's talk page) I have just called the museum and talked to the officials. What they say is both of them goes. Namely, both "Istanbul Archaeological Museum" and "Archaeological Museum of Istanbul" is ok. Besides, I referred to "Blue Guide Turkey", and saw that it gives the name as "Istanbul Archaeological Museum". In this case, we can omit "Istanbul Archaeology Museum" and decide between the latter two. Thanks. --Chapultepec 11:25, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- (copy of the message left on Gryffindor's talk page) I have made a Google book search instead of just googling to eliminate the non-academic/unscientific sources. The resultant figures are as follows:
- Under these circumstances, we would rather do the redirect at the English language Wikipedia. Thanks. --Chapultepec 11:54, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- Right. So "Istanbul Archaeological Museum" or "Archaeological Museum of Istanbul" it is then? Gryffindor 12:00, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, "Istanbul Archaeological Museum" seems more suitable in this case, and it is still vacant at the English WP. --Chapultepec 12:04, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
-
- ok, problem: I just found my entry ticket and the brochure to the museum, it says "Istanbul Archaeology Museums". Let me cite "Istanbul Archaeology Museums actually consists of three museums: Archaeology Museum, Museum of the Ancient Eastern Works and Tiled Pavilion Museum." In Turkish it's "Istanbul Arkeoloji Müzeleri" which is plural I assume as opposed to "müze(si)". The Archaeology Museum is in the main building, Museum of the Ancient Eastern Works in the other building opposite to it, a former school, and the Tiled Pavilion. Probably best to create three subcategories for each of these museums. Gryffindor 23:54, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, in fact there are three sections, and in Turkish the official name is "Istanbul Arkeoloji Müzeleri" which can be translated into English as "Istanbul Archaeology Museums". So, three subcategories under one main category will be reasonable here. But what about the other side? --Chapultepec 00:19, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- I have a Byzantinist acquaintance, who is also a tour guide. Tomorrow I will have his idea as well. --Chapultepec 00:26, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Latest news
Today in the morning I referred to that Byzantinist guide I mentioned yesterday. He told me that the real name in English is "Istanbul Archaeological Museums". Just to be sure, I went to the museum, and saw that he was right. Here is what it reads at the entrance of the museum:
- Istanbul Archaeological Museums
- Archaeological Museum
- Museum of the Ancient Orient
- Tiled Pavillion
Here is the result of a Google book search for the term "Istanbul Archaeological Museums" just for verification: 124 items

[edit] Image:Spongebob im moviepark.png
Was tagged for speedy deletion but is installed permanently in a public place (moviepark, oberhausen, germany) with consent of the copyright owner (moviepark is a licensee for showing spongebob installations). So the sculpture itself is not a copy-vio and as it is installed public, freedom of panorama holds true here. Imho deletion not justified. -- 80.139.35.148 12:18, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

There was some discussion at COM:UNDEL, and it suggests that this image may not fall under FOP due to the subject being permanently situated in a private amusement park. Private, in this context, means that visitors must pay to enter, and to fall under FOP, the amusement park must not have any entrance restrictions. 哦,是吗?(висчвын) 01:46, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Celine_Dion_headshot.jpg, Image:Celine Dion and Josh.jpg
I'm suspicious that this image is really copyrighted and not the Flickr uploaders to license. The reasons are the lack of camera details, the fact it says it was uploaded in 2003, but then says the image was taken in 2007. If you click on the date the image was taken on the flickr page you'll see that the uploader has taken screenshots of copyrighted TV/films and put free licenses on them. I believe the same is the case with this image Polly 04:07, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- I considered this when I was examining the photo in the first place. At first I was worried about what appeared to be copyrighted screenshots, but if you go to those pages (e.g., [3] there's EXIF info on it, and that also matches that of photos that he presumably took -- compare [4] with [5] for example. That leads me to believe that the Dion/Groban photo in question is in fact legitimate despite the lack of EXIF info. As for the upload date discrepancy, it would appear to be a technical glitch, because that date is set by Flickr, not by the user. howcheng {chat} 16:55, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Delete.This is pretty likely to be a copyvio. Based on this youtube video of a television segment, the photo is of a rehearsal for the Grammy Awards in 1999. The angle of the video does match the photo. The concert photos the flickr account holder has actually taken have been from public concerts in Malaysia, were they are located. This photo is from a private rehearsal in Los Angeles, California. BlueAzure (talk) 02:42, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Ernst_Fuchs_HYPNOSIA_mit_Mitra.jpg
Depicts a copyrighted work; not in a public place, so "freedom of panorama" does not apply. Would need permission of the artist. Lupo 09:40, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Delete Stifle 10:16, 4 April 2008 (UTC)- I took the picture - as well as the portrait of the artist (Image:Ernst Fuchs 2007.jpg) - and a few other images of sculptures (the Sphinxes you can find in Category:Ernst Fuchs (artist)) last October at the 'Lange Nacht der Museen' (Long Night of Museums) here in Vienna. Before taking pictures I did ask, whether this is allowed. The answer was an explicit yes.
You are asking for a permission by the artist. Can you give me a hint, how this is handled here at Commons? --Tsui 12:02, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
-
- A museum does not usually hold the copyright to its exhibits, so the museum staff cannot give you permission to publish these images under a free license. Permissions are handled by COM:OTRS. What you need is a permission to distribute the images under a certain license, for example GFDL. A permission for wikimedia use is not sufficient. --rimshottalk 13:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- The museum where I took the pictures is not just a museum, it is the artists own villa ([9]), where he lives (not constantly but every now and then). It is managed by the Ernst Fuchs Foundation which, among other things, is responsible for the "conception of new publications, contribution to various publishing projects" ([10]) concerning his art. These are the people I asked for permission. The villa is open to the public regularly (that's why I was able to take a picture of him there - after asking him of course). Anyway. I plan to visit it again soon, because I want to take some more and better images. When I do so, I will discuss this with the people managing the museum.
- I know that a permisson for Commons/Wikipedia only is not sufficient. COM:OTRS is what I was looking for. --Tsui 22:54, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Comment I think this was quite a bad idea to start a mass deletion for all of those pictures. Some are clearly connected (the nude that might be copyvios) but some other files are concerned by different cases (maps, drawings...). I think we can delete all the nudes (some details of Image:Circle and an Lady.jpg are quite strange...) but we have to treat the rest separately. For instance there's no reason to delete the page nudity since it could become an interesting gallery. --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 12:35, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
CommentThe connection was the uploader, all of the images were tagged as self-made, which I don't think is legitimate, especially with the image you noticed(Circle and an Lady) which appears to have a website name/watermark blurred out around the bottom. The drawings are legitimately self-made, but are derivative of copyrighted work(simpsons) and I doubt will ever be of any use on any wikimedia projects. Also I don't see what the Nudity page adds that Category:Nudity doesn't already sort out. The nudity page only appears to be a collection of female nudes based on personal preference.

Delete EXCEPT for Nudity which is valid (even if it must be changed)--and I if it is to be deleted should have its own deleition request since it's vastly different than the other requests and should not have been lumped in. Also, the 4 "Low quality images" should be deleted as out of scope original research rather than copyright violations. If Pirat can come up with some plausible explanation about why they are all different cops sizes and have no EXIF data then maybe this can be reversed. gren 11:23, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Wonder Weapons
A highly subjective category. There is no agreement among experts which weapons belongs here.--Avron 08:12, 6 April 2008 (UTC) --Avron 08:17, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- Technically perhaps, yes. But I think most historians would agree that Dreadnought, the A-bomb, the tank, Operation Ranch Hand represented what were hoped to be revolutionary war-winning weapons. I.e. wonder-weapons. There aren't actually many such examples in history - most weapons tend to be evolutionary. I think common sense indicates it should stay, as it hasn't been abused. Rod. Rcbutcher 15:12, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
- That is a good story for wikipedia but not here for Commons. This category has been already abused. For example Big Bertha was neither revolutionary nor a war-winning weapon. Or Project Babylon, compleatly ridiculous. --Avron 17:57, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
- I agree - discussion of the weapon's importance or otherwise in history requires a properly referenced indepth article in Wikipeda. I suppose Commons is the repository of photos and audio-visual media relating to the weapons, not ideas about them. Rod Rcbutcher 11:08, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

I scanned it direcly from the original map, published in 1930. It was published by the Swiss Federal Office of Topography and isn't attributed to an author, therefore, the 70 year time limit has expired. --Zumbo 16:10, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Keep According to Commons:Licensing#Switzerland, "If authorship is unknown, copyright lasts for 70 years after the first publication." The fact that a Swiss Government Agency published it without attribution strongly indicates that the author is unknown. Quadell (talk) 12:50, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
Keep Really seems to work since a swiss governement office should give us valid information... Forrester [[ hate+love letters ]] 14:19, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Comment And what's that text in the bottom right of this image of the full 1:50'000 map? And, Quadell, the first publication of this sheet dates to 1930. The earliest version of this sheet is from 1870, though. So, what applies? Lupo 14:57, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Comment Actually, they do give the authors: Aufnahme: Jacky, Schnyder, Anselmier ; Lith. R. Leuzinger. Anselmier is Jules Anselmier (1815-1895), Jacky is Wilhelm August Gottlieb Jacky-Tayler (1833–1915, active already 1858), Schnyder is one Fr. Schnyder (active already 1859), and R. Leuzinger is Rudolf Leuzinger (1826 - 1896). It appears these author indications all apply to the original 1870 publication. Anyway, Leuzinger was the one who drew this map, the others were the people doing the survey. Subsequent changes in Leuzinger's map since 1870 were minor. Lupo 15:43, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Photos of Finnish decorations uploaded by User:Kwasura
Kwasura has downloaded a number of photos from the webpages of Finnish Orders of merit. Part of these, the photos of the decorations of the Order of Cross of Freedom, were deleted. This request covers the rest of the photos.
In this case, the rationale for deletion is the same as previously: the photographs themselves are copyrighted and the owner of the copyrights, the Orders of the White Rose of Finland and the Lion of Finland, has not released the photos under suitable licence. The objects of the photos are, however, PD, but unfortunately, this does not make the photo non-copyrightable. Thus, the file should be deleted as soon as possible. This request encompasses the following files
- Image:Popup SL SR.jpg
- Image:Popup SL Ar.jpg
- Image:Popup SL K I miehet.jpg
- Image:Popup SL K naiset.jpg

--MPorciusCato 12:17, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Correcting myself: File:Popup SVR SR ketju.jpg () is not a photo but a drawing. As a faithful reproduction, it entails no creativity, and does not merit copyright in itself according to Finnish law. (It is also likely that the Order does not currently have the chain depicted in the image for a photograph, as this decoration is only carried by heads of state. Thus, the file is in PD, and I remove it from the deletion request. --MPorciusCato 12:29, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

- What does "Right of publicity vios" mean - are you talking about {{personality rights}}? — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 15:25, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Keep Okay, Image:CIMG0605.JPG, Image:CIMG0606.JPG, and Image:CIMG0611.JPG are not the same image. They are images of locations, with many people visible (but blurry) in the shot. I don't believe the people are individually identifiable, and I don't think there are "personality rights" issues here. Quadell (talk) 12:35, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
Comment About CIMG0605, CIMG0606, and CIMG0611, I have said, "They are the same as the images deleted in ja", not "these 3 are same". Although it seems that you do not have the admin authority of jawp, do you have the authority to brouse the contents deleted in jawp?
In ja, since "Individuals can specify when they indicate by full size, and they infringed on portrait rights" was judged, these were deleted. --Vantey (talk) 20:30, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
