[edit] Image:Discoveryfieldofwork.jpg
The map is based on the Antarctic Digital Database (www.add.scar.org), and carries an acknowledgment on the NOAA page from which it is taken. Use of the ADD requires acknowledgment of the source, and this should be re-instated on the map. Note also that the map cannot be subject to Creative Commons licensing for the same reason; the ADD is copyright data. There is no problem with putting a map based on the ADD in non-commercial sites like Wikipedia, but acknowledgment of the source is a condition of free use.
Please do not assume that a map on a US web-site is necessarily free of usage restrictions.

Delete To be clear, this is unfortunately a derivative work. No fault to the uploader (who couldn't be expected to realize this), though. If you see the original, the Antarctic Digital Database is credited there. The ADD's licensing terms specifically prohibit commercial usage. howcheng {chat} 18:25, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Delete although someone should recreate this image in SVG. The specific data on which the boundaries are formed is copyrighted, but similar data can be acquired for free. Bastique demandez 18:53, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry to be difficult, but no, there is no equivalent "free" data for Antarctica. And I have no problem with the ADD being used, as long as it is properly acknowledged. I'd be quite happy if there was a note stating the ADD was the source of the topographic data, and stating that it is used by permission of the copyright holder (on whose behalf I manage the resource). If I knew how to do it, I'd vote against deletion; it's a nice map that tells the story well. Incidentally, the ADD web-site will provide a download in SVG format.--APRCooper 20:28, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- If you are thinking of VMAP0, the quality of data for Antarctica is dire and highly inaccurate. I am afraid that the only good quality source is the ADD - and I don't make anything from saying that!--APRCooper 09:38, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Het1.jpg
pornographic with no use 70.178.187.98 20:30, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Delete It's a modern photo of explicit actual sexual activity. I think it might be seen as porn under US law. If that's the case, then we need legal documentation to show that the participants are not under age. That doesn't mean that such pictures wouldn't be useful if we could get the documents. --Simonxag 13:36, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Delete Agreeing with the US law concern. Also, don't think that the utility of the image is really there. Currently it is only linked to from userspace on the English wikipedia, for instance. Darkspots 20:58, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Keep Obviously mature sex organs. It might be useful to show the people the difference between this couple and an under age couple, but this might cause problems with US law. So the younger generation has just to believe this, sorry kids. Mutter Erde 09:52, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:CE369.jpg
I believe that this photo is not a work of the US federal government, but is a photo by Associated Press photographer w:Ike Algens. This image is under fair use on en.wiki (w:Image:Altgens mary ferrell.jpg) Trixt 01:14, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- Altgens' image is indeed under fair use (see full version at w:Image:Altgens1.jpg), but please note what is written under the copy I uploaded (Image:CE369.jpg): "Commission Exhibit 369". This is a copy of the picture as cropped, reworked (see the arrow pointing at the supposed Oswald in the entrance of the TSBD) and published in the Warren Commission report (see here. This is thus a free picture. Bradipus 11:03, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
-
- IMVHO I think that this image is only an evidence, not an original work by an officer or employee of the U.S. government (I don't think that put a simple arrow on a photo or make a simple cropping set it as new creative content). I believe that this is not a derivative work, so this image is copyrighted.--Trixt 01:14, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Whether or not it is a derivative work is not important, I mentionned the fact that it had been reworked only as an additionnal argument, but the fact is that once it has been published in a US Government public report, it is in public domain. See this discussion for instance. Bradipus 11:14, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- I think that this statement is wrong (but this is only my idea, of course :). A "work of the United States Government" is a work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person's official duties. So, work must be prepared (it must be an original work or a derivative work), not only (re)published.--Trixt 20:02, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Well, think about it for a minute: what does mean "prepare"? If we were to follow your idea, nothing would be free in, for instance, a governmental report: each person's testimony for instance would be copyrighted by the person who testified. Look, all what is in that report is free, in public domain, period, nothing can be more free than that. Any further discussion beyond this would require the opinion of US copyright lawyers, but me think they would settle the issue in a second: public domain. Bradipus 22:40, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Please see en:WP:PD#Public records. Just because something is in the "public records" doesn't mean it couldn't be copyrighted. Lupo 23:05, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- The Warren Commission Report is not a public record, it is a government report. Please consider en:WP:PD#U.S. government works instead, where the sole exception to the PD rule for governement reports is as follows: "Works produced under a commission from the U.S. government by a contractor are most likely copyrighted". Altgens was not a contractor of the Warren Commission, but a witness. On government reports in general: High-profile government reports can be uniquely lucrative for publishers because they are relatively cheap to produce. There are no acquisition costs, since the documents are in the public domain.
- You know, this discussion is exactly why I virtually stopped contributing to Commons: people trying to have the works of others deleted based on vague legal notions. Even if it is done in good faith (do not take this personnally), it is extremely tiresome. Bradipus 23:35, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- It is a government report, which is a government record. Non-free photographs may appear in a report, the content of which may otherwise be ineligible for copyright protection, under fair use provisions. Republishing such a report would then constitute another instance of fair use. As far as I know, there's no principle whereby the government can expropriate the copyright of others simply by republishing their works. —LX (talk, contribs) 10:59, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Delete It's clearly not in the public domain, Commons_talk:Licensing#Warren_Commission_Report. Samulili 15:18, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- I do not think it is that clear. The discussion is indeed there, as I thought appropriate to bring it in a broader forum although the discussion has apparently stopped there. Anyway, I finally found the credit page of the WC Report, which contains copyright notices for some reproduced stuff (such as this one), but no copyright notice (just "credit") for the full version of the Altgens picture for instance. What the impact is of "credit" vs "copyright notice", I am not sure, but in any case there is no notice at all for the reworked version of the Altgens pic I have uploaded. Other possible aspects of the issue are the absence of copyright notice in relation with this or with the exception applicable to stuff published "pre-1964". Some arguments in favour of the free status of the document, but to what extent they are convincing I do not know. I am a pre-90's european lawyer, these US technicalities are a bit unclear ;-) Bradipus 20:35, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Comment I believe if it was first published in the USA before 1978 without notice of copyright it is public domain per US law anyway. Any info on first publication and if there was a copyright notice? -- Infrogmation 15:23, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- It was for sure published on November 22 or 23, 1963, but was it with or without copyright notice...But we can control that it was published in September 1964 in the WC report (full version, with a credit but no copyright notice) and in November 1964 (the reworked version, published in volume 16 of the exhibits, without credit or notice). Bradipus 20:40, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- It was published in the Warren Commission report without a copyright notice. But that was probably not when it was first published. Even if it was, that still doesn't make it a work of the US federal government. I'm thinking they could use an unpublished work under fair use just as they could a published one. I don't think this would count as the "first publication", even if it was never published before or since, and doing so would not make it a government work any more than me publishing your unpublished photos gives me the copyright to them. Or something. This is a headache. ;\ Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 00:34, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- I have sources who say clearly it was published either on the day or the day after the assassination. Remember Altgens was working for United Press. As hinted hereabove, I think the solution may be the same as the one for Image:Moorman.jpg. Bradipus 12:51, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:CE369.jpg
I believe that this photo is not a work of the US federal government, but is a photo by Associated Press photographer w:Ike Algens. This image is under fair use on en.wiki (w:Image:Altgens mary ferrell.jpg) Trixt 01:14, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- Altgens' image is indeed under fair use (see full version at w:Image:Altgens1.jpg), but please note what is written under the copy I uploaded (Image:CE369.jpg): "Commission Exhibit 369". This is a copy of the picture as cropped, reworked (see the arrow pointing at the supposed Oswald in the entrance of the TSBD) and published in the Warren Commission report (see here. This is thus a free picture. Bradipus 11:03, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
-
- IMVHO I think that this image is only an evidence, not an original work by an officer or employee of the U.S. government (I don't think that put a simple arrow on a photo or make a simple cropping set it as new creative content). I believe that this is not a derivative work, so this image is copyrighted.--Trixt 01:14, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Whether or not it is a derivative work is not important, I mentionned the fact that it had been reworked only as an additionnal argument, but the fact is that once it has been published in a US Government public report, it is in public domain. See this discussion for instance. Bradipus 11:14, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- I think that this statement is wrong (but this is only my idea, of course :). A "work of the United States Government" is a work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person's official duties. So, work must be prepared (it must be an original work or a derivative work), not only (re)published.--Trixt 20:02, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Well, think about it for a minute: what does mean "prepare"? If we were to follow your idea, nothing would be free in, for instance, a governmental report: each person's testimony for instance would be copyrighted by the person who testified. Look, all what is in that report is free, in public domain, period, nothing can be more free than that. Any further discussion beyond this would require the opinion of US copyright lawyers, but me think they would settle the issue in a second: public domain. Bradipus 22:40, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Please see en:WP:PD#Public records. Just because something is in the "public records" doesn't mean it couldn't be copyrighted. Lupo 23:05, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- The Warren Commission Report is not a public record, it is a government report. Please consider en:WP:PD#U.S. government works instead, where the sole exception to the PD rule for governement reports is as follows: "Works produced under a commission from the U.S. government by a contractor are most likely copyrighted". Altgens was not a contractor of the Warren Commission, but a witness. On government reports in general: High-profile government reports can be uniquely lucrative for publishers because they are relatively cheap to produce. There are no acquisition costs, since the documents are in the public domain.
- You know, this discussion is exactly why I virtually stopped contributing to Commons: people trying to have the works of others deleted based on vague legal notions. Even if it is done in good faith (do not take this personnally), it is extremely tiresome. Bradipus 23:35, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- It is a government report, which is a government record. Non-free photographs may appear in a report, the content of which may otherwise be ineligible for copyright protection, under fair use provisions. Republishing such a report would then constitute another instance of fair use. As far as I know, there's no principle whereby the government can expropriate the copyright of others simply by republishing their works. —LX (talk, contribs) 10:59, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Delete It's clearly not in the public domain, Commons_talk:Licensing#Warren_Commission_Report. Samulili 15:18, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- I do not think it is that clear. The discussion is indeed there, as I thought appropriate to bring it in a broader forum although the discussion has apparently stopped there. Anyway, I finally found the credit page of the WC Report, which contains copyright notices for some reproduced stuff (such as this one), but no copyright notice (just "credit") for the full version of the Altgens picture for instance. What the impact is of "credit" vs "copyright notice", I am not sure, but in any case there is no notice at all for the reworked version of the Altgens pic I have uploaded. Other possible aspects of the issue are the absence of copyright notice in relation with this or with the exception applicable to stuff published "pre-1964". Some arguments in favour of the free status of the document, but to what extent they are convincing I do not know. I am a pre-90's european lawyer, these US technicalities are a bit unclear ;-) Bradipus 20:35, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

This appears to be a WWII era photo of the general; I may be wrong, but I do not believe that qualifies it as public domain (does the German government allow free photos from this era?) 1941 appears to be an estimate on the part of the uploader. Would {{Anonymous-EU}} apply if we can prove somehow it's pre-1938? Patstuart (talk) 00:59, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- I made the estimate based on the uniform, however, it is possible Keller had this rank in 1937. There is no restriction on publication of wartime photographs by the German Government that I know of, but it may have been recently introduced. I had been surprised by the Russian change in polity also.--1mrg3105 01:34, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Keep There is nothing copyrightable in this sign. Nothing at all passing the threshold of originality. -N 01:48, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- Comment I strongly disagree. The U.S. has a very low standard of originality. There are several elements I think qualify, including the colors chosen, the stylized half-circle, the use of a border, the shape of the sign, and the shadows around the letters.

[edit] Image:Helmut_Newton,_Portrait_of_Laurel_Martyn,_1952.jpg
this is most likely an artistic work by an artist who died just same years ago, no information on publication provided Polarlys 14:21, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- keep: As stated on the image description page, this work was produced in 1952 in Australia. Australian copyright law states that photographs (even artistic ones) taken prior to 1st January, 1955 are in the public domain, so there is no problem here. I have added a link to the image description page proving that the photograph was taken in 1952, by an Australian photographer, of an Australian dancer, and is held by the National library of Australia. I think it's fair to assume that the photograph was taken and first published in Australia. Therefore, the image is certainly in the public domain under Australian copyright law. Papa November 10:06, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, it is copyrighted in the EU (life+70), and also in the U.S. because it was copyrighted in Australia on January 1, 1996... Lupo 22:56, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

- Not strictly relevant for our policy (U.S. & source country). Only mentioned since that means that the image, even if it was ok in the U.S. (which it isn't), could be used basically only at en-WP and thus would better be hosted there. Lupo 07:29, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I request two weeks time to contact Harry B and to get his permission. although Permission exists for the use of the images. Until that time please don't delete this.Thank you. Chanakyathegreat
- Yes, permission exists - that's not under dispute. The problem, however, is that the permission has a condition attached ("But also notify [MAIL REMOVED] before usage as well") which is unacceptable (see here under "Acceptable licences") and, in this case, unable to be complied with anyway. I doubt even we've been adhering to B.Harry's terms; has he been informed every time one of these images has been used in a Wikipedia article? --Rlandmann 19:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Keep Seems more like a request to me. There is a permission and the pictures are of great encyclopedic value. --IncMan 10:24, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- The wording of the owner's conditions is "but also inform... before usage as well". How can that be construed to be anything other than a condition of use? The encyclopedic value of these images is not under dispute, but that doesn't make them free to use. The uploader of these images asked for two weeks to get clearance for these images, and that was nearly three months ago now, with no sign of any progress. --Rlandmann 00:31, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Comment It is very easy to fix this. Someone email the owner and let him know that his pictures are being used on "The Internet" as cc-by-sa states they will be linked back to commons (or where ever they came from). And call it a day. --ShakataGaNai Talk 08:21, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

As "cover art" this image is most likely under protection of at least copyright. As such it could only be used as either a fair use image or needs the artist to actually release it to public domain.

[edit] Image:Leopoldo_Calvo-Sotelo.jpg
This picture was not produced by "20 minutos", but only reproduced. Dantadd✉ 18:26, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- Then, would it be a case of misatribution by 20 minutos? 20 minutos licenses publish their work under a by-sa CC license, unless its signed by another author, which this photo is not. Thus, it does not fall into any of the exceptions listed in http://www.20minutos.es/licencia_20_minutos/ . Obviously the picture was made before the founding of 20 minutos, not for them, so its either an already existing free work they use and license, or a previous private work the use without caring for providing authorship. --Javier ME 09:01, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- We cannot know if it's a case of misattribution unless we found the true source of the picture. Until then, the only thing we know is that the photo seems to be under the CC license stated in the website, since no other source (and in particular none of the CC-excluded sources) is cited. Thus, deletion should not proceed. Habbit 18:32, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Delete. 20 minutos was founded in 2000, so they are certainly NOT the authors of this photo (it looks like an official shot to me, by the way). 20 minutos has published lots of older copyrighted photos without (proper) attribution. I do not understand the rationale of "if we cannot find the real source, preserve it": I always thought the uploader was the one who had to prove the photo is free. --Dodo 09:58, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

There is no need to delete this image. I have uploaded it with full free permission for public use and for the Artist on Wiki. I am the owner of this image (Author). I previously uploaded the same image, but accidentally placed it under unproper use.

- Keep This image is no copyright violation. If you follow the source link, you get to the image description page on flickr. There it says clearly that the picture is licensed as CC-BY-SA 2.0. Perhaps Mifter should act more diligently before slapping a deletion request on an image, especially check the flickr source page for the actual license. If this is just an oversight, I beg a pardon. Can happen to everyone. Of course the picture is copyrighted, also GPL licensed software or CC-licensed works are copyrighted - but they are licensed. Only old public domain works are not copyrighted anymore. Gorinin 19:11, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Comment I am so sorry about all of this, when I saw the description I misinterpreted the description as to mean that the Image had been made by someone else and copyrighted, and was posted to Flickr by someone else who was not the copyright holder and then incorrectly licensed as their own work, I did see that the page said CC-BY-SA 2.0. was the license but I thought that the Flickr User was not the actual copyright holder thus making the license in-valid and as a result I put it up for deletion. I truely apoligize for this, I simply thought that it had been made by a stock photo company which makes copyrighted Images for press use which are not allowed on Commons. Once again I apologize for all of this, --Mifter (talk) 20:04, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Alca_Members.PNG
The map is factually wrong. The ALCA does not exist yet, and many countries that reject it (like Bolivia and Venezuela) are marked as members. The map uses the criteria "Countries that the US would want to be members of the ALCA" Thialfi 02:42, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Keep Non-notable fancruft. Er, I mean, it's used. There's nothing in our scope that says files must be factually true. And all I see is a map of world. The text you accompany it with on an encyclopedia is up to you. Rocket000 20:52, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
-
- Don't game the system. A map named "Alca members", with countries marked incorrectly as members of an international organization that does not exist, and some of them even reject to be a part of, has no use for an encyclopedia, no matter what "Scope" lists or does not list. And don't worry, we have plenty of other world maps to use Thialfi 20:35, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Keep Nonsense. Keep them. The Crazy Horse Memorial Organization should be contacted at memorial@crazyhorse.org
Keep Nonsense. Have you not read all the discussions with people, who want to withdraw their donated pics from commons, with the argument: No, you can't change you licence later. It's the same in real life. This was a government work, now it's private. No reason to change the licence Mutter Erde 18:26, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
-
- I read the Wikipedia article and all the links from it that are still alive. I didn't see anything that indicated the monument was ever a work produced by an employee of the federal government or under a contract specifying the outcome would be a work for hire. I got the impression that it is and always has been a private non-profit endeavor. It would be helpful if you could provide the source of your claim that it was a government work.
-
- Even if it were true that it was originally a government work, my understanding is that the monument is now being modified independently of the government (and please feel free to object if you think this assertion is false). If that's the case, then the work can definitely change from a public domain work to a copyrighted work, as a public domain work with copyrightable modifications is subject to the copyright of the persons making the modifications. (Photos of the work before such modifications would of course be unaffected.) —LX (talk, contribs) 18:52, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Question: is the monument located in an Indian reservation, and if so, what does that mean in terms of applicability of US copyright laws? —LX (talk, contribs) 18:52, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- I don't believe it is part of a reservation...IIRC, South Dakota has 7 or 8 reservations, and the Black Hills isn't included. (Actually here is a map - no reservation.) In any event, this shouldn't affect copyright law. Indian reservations are technically lands administered by the Federal Government, and U.S. law extends there. When the reservations enjoy special privileges within the law, as in the case of gambling establishments, those privileges are generally established by Congress or the Federal courts.

- It is undoubtedly a sculpture. Yes, a freaking huge sculpture carved out of a mountain, but we can no more call this "a photo of a mountain" than we could call a photograph of the Mona Lisa "a photo of some canvas and some paint".
- It is not, and never has been, a work of the United States Federal government (as one commenter has claimed).
- United States law does not allow distribution of photographs of sculptures, when such sculptures are still under copyright. This one clearly is still under copyright; that it has (to quote one commentator) enough originality to qualify for copyright in their own right makes no difference -- indeed, this is actually a pretty good legal definition of what distinguishes a derivative work from a plain old copyright infringement.
- The Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation, the copyright holders, are actively against people distributing photographs of the memorial.
With these things considered, and no thorough refutation of these facts being offered, I'm very surprised this has gone on so long. Therefore, all these photos have been deleted. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 06:26, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:MasonStatue.JPG
and Image:Art Rooney Statue.jpg
On freedom of panorama for statues in USA EugeneZelenko 15:30, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
This statue is commonly used at George Mason for promotional purposes. Indeed, social organizations often take pictures of this statue and use it for their own purposes, with no objection from either the artist or the school.
See here: http://braddockheritage.org/history/present/
Here: http://www.examiner.com/a-728465~GMU_student_organization_wants_guns_to_be_allowed_on_campus.html
And here: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/28/sports/ncaabasketball/28mason.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
Furthermore, popular statues located at University campuses are rife on Wikipedia, with no problems. For example, the Homer statue at UVA, and the War Memorial at Virginia Tech.

Comment "Everyone does it" isn't a defense... Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 22:02, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Here is an interview with the artist in which she states, among other things, she views this as public statue, she likes to hear that people take pictures of it, and ultimately this statue is part of the George Mason Community, not a private work. I especially would like to draw attention to the scluptor's last statement, "I think that impluse is why I enjoy creating work in the public domain". http://gazette.gmu.edu/articles/9964/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Laxmatt (talk • contribs) 16:34, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I realize I'm boring on about this but this is a great statue, part of the George Mason community, and should be part of any good wiki page about GMU. Here is an article about a panel of "Public Artists", including Wendy Ross, the sculptor of the George Mason statue. http://gazette.gmu.edu/articles/9787/ "Public Art' is a distinct and meaningful phrase, from the first line of the wiki page: "The term public art properly refers to works of art in any media that has been planned and executed with the specific intention of being sited or staged in the public domain, usually outside and accessible to all." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_art It is inconceivable that a professional artist like Wendy Ross would be unaware of what she is saying when she states: "I enjoy creating work in the public domain".Laxmatt 05:08, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- "Public domain" has a meaning outside of the context of copyright, so it is quite conceivable that she didn't think about the copyright meaning of the term when she said that. Wendy M. Ross has the copyrights on the statue unless she signed them over to someone else. She can't control people taking pictures of the statue, but she can potentially control people publishing images of the statue; at least any publication that wouldn't be fair use anyway. Why don't you just ask the sculptor for permission to license the image as either PD, CC-BY, CC_BY-SA, or GFDL? That's what was done with Image:Babe Ruth statue.jpg. (Warning: be prepared to explain precisely what these licenses and "releasing into the public domain" mean, and be prepared for a potentially lengthy e-mail exchange. If and when you do have the artist's permission to license the image under a free license, forward the whole e-mail exchange to permissions-commons
wikimedia.org, stating clearly to which image that applies. Don't worry if the image gets deleted before you have the explicit permission, it can be restored. That happened to the Babe Ruth image, too.) Without explicit release by Wendy M. Ross:

- And besides, maybe it's better anyway to delete this image and go through the whole process for a new image of the statue that is includes the feet. Lupo 10:38, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- Well, she doesn't have the rights to the statue: George Mason University does. I only point the quotes to illustrate that this statue was from the outset a work of public art. Also, given the educational and research nature of the wiki article on GMU, it seems evident that the picture indeed falls under fair use.Laxmatt 15:45, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, maybe it was a work made for hire for GMU. Then ask them. The point is, ask the owner of the copyrights. "Fair use" images are not allowed here. The problem with public art in the U.S. is that there are still copyrights on public artwork, and U.S. copyright law has no exception for images of public art. Such photos are just derivative works of the public artwork. Other countries' laws explicitly declare photos of public artwork not to be derivatives (or rather, they say that such photos may be published and sold without the consent of the owner of the copyrights on the public artwork). But sadly not so in the U.S. See COM:FOP. Lupo 21:19, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Copyright not clear: as I had written in the Talk Page, I have not found on the website any text saying that this image may be distributed under a CC-BY-SA-2.5 or any other licence, in fact I have not found any copyright information! So if not expressly permitted, it seems to be a copyvio...
The only information about the (k)ubuntu logos and other is the draft Trademark Policy. Even if Commons does not take the trademark law into account (only copyright), I should say that this expressly forbids any commercial use of the logos!!

[edit] Nomination
I nominate the newer Pictures of User:Fabelfroh for mass deletion. Those pictures are licensed CC-BY-SA-NC-3.0 in their metadata. This is not a valid license. In the Infobox there is a CC-BY-SA-3.0 template, however with the restriction ... a commercial use of the image is only possible with the permission of the author. This is clearly against Commons:Licensing#Acceptable_licenses which doesn't allow this restriction. Currently it looks like Fabelfroh is not willing to make his work commercially available anymore. Unfortunately. I still hope he changes his mind because his work is great! Ikiwaner 20:54, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion
Delete There is no option but to delete the relevant images with this non-commercial restriction if User:Fabelfroh isn't prepared to change this as seems to be the case. However, despite this user's request request to delete "ALL photos of 2007, 2008 and ALL moss photos too. And I mean ALL", only those photos with invalid licenses can and should be deleted. I'd like to leave this a few days though to see if any other solution can be found. I wouldn't like for us to have to delete all these images then find there is a way to keep them. Adambro 23:09, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- This deletion request is for those explicit NC-images only. About 250 of Fabelfrohs 1800 images are affected. I think the other images are OK since they are without further restrictions. Fabelfroh can't redraw a license he once gave. --Ikiwaner 04:46, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Comment In after enormous DR. It'd really suck to have to delete all these photos, but that's what we'll have to do.
Delete in lieu of a change of heart. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 01:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Comment Oh, we could technically keep them as I pointed out on his talk page. The license these are under makes it perfectly clear that that those additional restrictions don't apply or are completely optional. If the metadata and the license tag don't match, then it's dual-licensed and either one can be used. Anyone's allow to remove the NC part from the metadata (implying we choose the other). This isn't a licensing issue since these are CC-BY-SA-3.0 and nothing more. This is a "it right to hold the author to these terms against their will?" If the author wasn't a member of the community and this was some random website's material, it would be different. I still would prefer a better rationale for removing these from Commons but regardless I don't think people would feel comfortable keeping them. Rocket000 04:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Comment And there's a lot more discussion of the above-mentioned issue here, between the Rocket and I. I worried about informed consent, the Rocket made the good point that "it is the licensor's responsibility to understand the terms and conditions they are willfully agreeing to". But then, isn't there some responsibility on our part to make people know what they are consenting to? That a certain new user (who I dealt with today) who persistently uploaded materials as "all rights reserved, contact us if you want to us it" should trouble us enough, but here we're talking someone who has been uploading materials to Commons since 2005. How is this possible? If he really had no idea about this (and there's a case to be made for him being fully aware of it), are we stating our requirements explicitly and forcefully enough? And for goodness' sake, how did FP and QI reviewers miss this? Do they even understand the problem here?
These, I think, are serious issues that need to be discussed. Maybe we need to be more annoying about this at upload time. Or maybe he knew the deal around here and was just screwing with us all along, using Commons for self-promotion. Discuss. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 06:14, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Comment If the copyrights are indeed partly owned by the university (which I'm not sure about, as Germany doesn't have the same work for hire laws that the US has), then the CC license was not valid in the first place. In that case we can't do anything but delete all images affected by this, not only those with a NC statement. I am sure that the Urheberrecht (similar, but not equal to copyright) always belongs to the author and is non-tranferable. Usage rights, on the other hand are implicitly tranfered to the employer. The question is whether these can be transfered exclusively and whether they were transfered exclusively in this case. --rimshottalk 06:17, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- This is my worry as well. Basically, if the user incorrectly specifies the usage rights he has on his own copyrighted works, would this be classified as what we call in the rest of the world: "a copyright violation" ? Are we supposed to subject to the entity that has the usage rights? I seems to be so. TheDJ 11:23, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Keep - I'm generally finding myself in agreement with Rocket's dual licensing comments. I do share Lewis' concerns re QI and FP, and I really don't know what to do about it at this stage. Reviewer education is needed. But I don't think deleting the images will help in that regard. giggy (:O) 10:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Incidentally, if help is needed in closing this (if kept), I can use Giggabot; specifically approved for this sort of thing. Just give me a yell. giggy (:O) 10:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- We can't keep these images, even if the uploader has violated the license by specifying additional conditions which aren't valid, it should be clear that he hasn't and doesn't agree to release these images under an allowed license. We can't just remove the additional conditions and keep them. It is very disappointing that as I understand it, some of these photos have gone through the FP and QI processes despite these issues and it highlights a lack of scrutiny which has to go beyond simply looking whether it is a good or interesting photo or whatever. I'm not very familiar with either of these processes but checking the licensing should be the first stage of both as it is the most important. It doesn't matter how great an image is if it shouldn't be on Commons. The only option I see available unless the uploads changes his position. Adambro 11:44, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Delete non-commercial is non-commercial. The intent of the author with these specific images is obvious once you read his license (basically an adaptation of cc-by-sa-3.0). This is not a revoke, but simply a license that is not allowed on Commons (If I add additional non-compatible requirements to the GPL license in my software, the FSF won't recognize it as GPL software either). Also there is the possibility of an incorrect interpretation of the usage rights that could be granted by this user (some usage rights possibly lay with the university as mentioned above by rimshot). As such the rights might not be HIS to grant, and as such there might be a partial copyright violation with all images uploaded, even those that do not have the -NC adaptation. The problem is how can we distinguish between his personal photo's and photo's that were taken as part of his University work? TheDJ 11:23, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- To clarify my difference with Rocket000 in this case, who asserts that due to: "There are no understandings, agreements or representations with respect to the Work not specified here. This License constitutes the entire agreement, Licensor shall not be bound by any additional provisions that may appear in any communication from" might technically enable us to remove this NC restriction from his images. I'm not so sure about this. I think that because of the way our licenses are made "visible", Fabelfroh effectively changed the license, instead of making such "additional provisions that may appear in any communication from You." I also therefore propose we move the attribution to a separate "section" (possibly just a simple <hr> beneath the CC-BY-SA license to make the difference more clear.
- Fabelfroh didn't change the license. It stills says CC-BY-SA-3.0, right? You're arguing against what the actual legal document says, not me. Rocket000 14:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- No, what i assert is that he used a different license and put the CC-BY-SA-3.0 sticker on his own license. The assertion is that as soon as you change this license, you can no longer call that license by the same name, without violating the license. As such, he created a derivative of the license that misused the "moniker" CC-BY-SA-3.0 without actually being the CC-BY-SA-3.0 license, and that this is probably illegal. It does not necessarily mean that the works automatically are subject to this license (at least not in all countries in the world, especially if this was not the intent of the licensee). I understand what you are trying to say, but that is something that applies mostly to derivative works, where you have the issue of contamination ( a piece of a work forces a new work into a certain license) or with revoking licenses. TheDJ 19:30, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Also note that this is an assertion. I'm not saying its true, but i'm saying that things like this can be very complicated. What you quote from the license is there more to protect the license itself, and possibly the licensor and the licensed work from 3rd party distribution. In practicality I think is not a given that it traps the licensor into a license once he has put the string "CC-BY-SA-3.0" on a work. In many courts throughout the world, the original intent of the copyright holder will be important and the question will be raised if the string "CC-BY-SA-3.0|withrestrictions" will be recognized as a separate/new license, that illegally carries the CC-BY-SA-3.0 moniker, as opposed to it being "CC-BY-SA-3.0 license with illegal and not relevant additions by the copyright holder". When you say "technically" you mean "to the letter of the license", but unfortunately copyright law is much more vague when you actually bring it into a court, even if you have licenses that are as well defined and relatively "clear" as those of CC seem to be. TheDJ 20:11, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- I can agree with that. It is a complicated issue. Rocket000 12:24, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Comment Those are great hard to replace photos that took a lot of labor to upload and organize. It seems like Kristian Peters name appears as author 4 times on each page and Fabelfroh few times too, but there is no mention of any university copyrights. I think the university restriction was probably invented afterwards to explain tinkering with the copyright templates. --Jarekt 12:58, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Keep Freely licensed and within our scope. ...and for the following reasons:
- Fabelfroh has never made the claim he didn't know non-commercial licenses weren't allowed. Actually, all the evidence points to him knowing full well all along. The most obvious and compelling reason for this assertion is that he only included this little restriction in the metadata. Now obviously, if you don't want to allow commercial use, you're going make sure people know that! The common person doesn't check the metadata—I think I first pointed this out and I only check if because of the current discussion. This seems kinda deceiving to me.
- As I said above, just because the license tag and the EXIF data don't match doesn't mean there's an issue. It just means it's dual licensed and since one is a free license, this is allowed on Commons.
- So the license is fine. What about the additional statement: "Also a commercial use of the image is only possible with the permission of the author"? Well, according to the actual legal part of the license he willfully and publicly stated it was released under, this addition restriction is completely optional.
- After being informed that additional restrictions can be safely ignored by anyone, he continued to license his images with the additional text. Again, the common person isn't going to know everything about the Creative Commons licenses (as some previous comments show). Whether or not it's intended, this is pretty misleading not unlike the metadata situation.
- This isn't the first time Fabelfroh has added additional restrictions on top of licenses that don't allow it.[9][10][11]
- The issue with the GFDL addition is that is makes it completely incompatible with "real" GFDL licensed material. If it was even possible to add anything in the first place (which it's not, without calling it something else). The same goes for any share-alike license. You can't "share-alike" if everyone has their own customized copy-left license. This is staple of all copyleft licenses.
- Originally, I believe this was done as a honest misunderstanding of the license as the original beginning said "For clarity over section 4 of the GFDL license..." This was later changed to "In addition to and for clarity over section 4 of the GFDL license..." so he plainly knew he was making additions.
- His knowledge of the GFDL (like clarifying Section 4 for us) suggests he's not as clueless about these licenses as it may seem.
- There's a history here of trying to restrict the use of his photos while still being allowed to enjoy Commons with all his QIs, FPs, praise, and of course, exposure.
There's one issue left I didn't touch on... he now says he doesn't have full rights to these images. To put it bluntly, I simply don't believe this:
- He never mentions this in the license. For someone so concerned1 2 with us following the letter of these licenses, you'd think he won't leave out a small detail like the copyright holder of his own license.
- Usually, when there's kind of joint deal with photographers and their employers (I guess that's the relationship) the terms are layed-out beforehand and agreed upon. His ability to continuously change the license doesn't suggest this happened.
- Even his metadata says he owns the copyright in so many words: He owns the original copyright. So what, that means he sold out on us? He owns the original copyright but "sold" part of it to some university? He's contradicting himself.
- He originally stated that it was his intention to limit commercial use, not some third party: The idea behind the addition was to restrict commercial use to wiki(m|p)edia only. And that still is my intention.
- Previous to this "university owns part of the copyright" claim, he said he couldn't change it due to some dubious compatibility issue with Flickr.
Some are amazed that this has gone unnoticed for so long. I'm not. He's been here since 2005. He's a well know user with what looks like a standard license (and it technically is). The NC part is hidden away where no one looks. And that extra condition was added in like it was just some additional attribution-specifying after thought. Who checks the license of well established users every time they view one of their images?
I said keep because I believe the user is the sole copyright holder and knew exactly what he was doing. When he couldn't get his way, he decided that he rather not let us have any of the images from the last two years (and the moss ones for some reason) regardless of the licenses attached to them. Should we really keep them... that's up to the community. Like I said I don't think many will feel comfortable keeping them, so the question is do we honor this user request and delete "ALL photos of 2007, 2008 and ALL moss photos too. And I mean ALL." or do we pick and choose and go with only the ones listed here? Or do we accuse the user of uploading things with false licenses he had no right to do and delete them all as copyvios? Rocket000 14:04, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- I suggest we'd be better concentrating on the non-commercial issue and worry about his suggestion that he might not be the copyright holder of some of the images separately. As you note, for him to turn around and say this now is somewhat suspect. Adambro 16:41, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- "according to the actual legal part of the license he willfully and publicly stated it was released under, this addition restriction is completely optional", well, the license does say that. But then, are we really saying that the courts will interpret a license atomistically, as if it had some separate existence apart from the intent of the author? Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 17:14, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- I think we have different ideas about what his intentions were. Rocket000 19:55, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- I do not understand how Rocket000 uses this as an argument for keeping the images: The idea behind the addition was to restrict commercial use to wiki(m|p)edia only. And that still is my intention. To me that's the sad reason why this is not a formalistic discussion but the lack of Fabelfrohs will to allow unlimited commercial use. Given the assumption that WikiM|Pedia is a non commercial project no commercial use is allowed at all. --Ikiwaner 17:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Because licenses are irrevocable. Rocket000 19:53, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Comment Wouldn't it be better if when you uploaded an image you _had_ to select a valid license and that would be listed on the image description page in a non-editable way so there was no way to write additions or other non-valid licenses ? The chosen license should also not be changable by the user itself after upload. /Daniel78 19:08, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, the credit/acknowledgement line was used for this, which simply needs to be user editable. This is why I suggested we make a clearer separation in this CC-BY-SA license about what part deals with the actual license, and what part deals with the required credit line of this license. That would make cases like this easier to spot, and it would be harder to fool non-Commons people in this world. TheDJ 19:37, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Quick mock-up of how I think we should change the layout of this license template. TheDJ 19:51, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Keep and scrub the invalid extra conditions. Fabelfroh has made his bed, now he gets to lie in it. First-time user, I can see giving them the benefit of the doubt, but Fabelfroh has been around a long time, and now has only the choices of accepting the free license or publicly admitting to dishonesty. Stan Shebs 09:03, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Delete In my opinion, if there is an apparent licensing conflict then we ought to accept the licensor's apparent intent at face value and act accordingly. It appears that Fabelfroh's intent from the beginning on these images was to include a restriction limiting commercial use. Yes, that is self-contradictory with the inclusion of the CC-BY-SA-3.0 tag. Either this contradiction is intentional (which I see no specific evidence of) or the contradiction is the result of a simple mistake. The people voting Keep here want to exploit that mistake by using only the CC-BY-SA portions of the license to determine that these works are in actuality free of commercial restrictions.
Personally, I do not consider that to be ethical. If it one assumes Fabelfroh never intended to forgo the commercial restrictions, then saying that Fabelfroh waived these provisions by error is essentially trying to exploit Fabelfroh's mistake to her detriment and our advantage. Beyond the mere question of ethics, it is not obvious whether simply removing the contradictory clauses would be legal either. Contract law establishes that an agreement may be void if the agreement contains a mistake and the non-mistaken party is aware of the mistake and attempts to exploit it to his advantage. It is possible, though probably not obvious, that attempting to exploit Fabelfroh's mistake in order to invalidate the commercial clauses and force Fabelfroh into a position she never intended would be sufficiently grievous to void the entire proceeding, and in essence generate the legal finding that CC-BY-SA was never appropriately agreed to in the first place. Hence, I think we have to be concerned that the contradictory clauses create a situation where, in essense, the accompanying CC-BY-SA statement has been tainted to such a degree as to be legally unenforcable.
In the face of complicated issues like this, I don't think it is really our place to assert to the rest of the world that these images are bona fide free content. If Fabelfroh won't agree to remove the restrictions herself, then I think the only appropriate course of action is to delete the images. If, as some apparently believe, Fabelfroh has been attempting to exploit our system for her own advantage by willfully including the questionable licenses, then I think that is all the more reason to remove the content and insist on only content that is unambiguously allowed. Dragons flight 02:28, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Keep for the moment. My reading of the extra terms is that they are intended to allow non CC-BY-SA usage, with the permission of the user. But I agree they need to be clarified one way or the other. Regards, Ben Aveling 07:19, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Instead of making a another even larger mass deletion request, let's also deal with Fabelfroh's request to delete all his images from 2007 and 2008 (plus some other non-specified images). If you're going on perceived intent here and not what the license says, we should remove all images he doesn't want to be free. Deleting only the ones uploaded after this change would still be going by the letter of the law in a way. He has requested these all be tagged for a deletion request, but I feel these can be dealt with together (and IMO, the fate of both should be the same). Rocket000 15:20, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- I think we've got to make a distinction between images he uploaded and released under a free license and those that he didn't. I think it is important to note that he didn't upload the later images under an acceptable license and then wanted to delete them when it came to light that this would allow commercial use. It should be obvious that with the later images, he never agreed to release them under an accepted license. So whilst I think we should delete the later images because he never really agreed to release them freely, those earlier images without the additional restriction regarding commercial use were released under an acceptable license and so should be kept. There are no grounds to delete the earlier images since he can't withdraw the license and so any images before the December 2007 change should be kept, any after should be deleted. I'd therefore suggest that we concentrate on discussing these later images. Adambro 15:38, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

- No, everything he uploaded is under a free license. CC-BY-SA-3.0 is indeed a free license (and he hasn't removed that after being informed extra restrictions are null and void, btw). It's the intent we are considering, which appears to be the same in both cases (the user himself doesn't make a distinction). Of course he can't withdraw the license in either case, but can we hold him to it? And if we can, should we? Rocket000 01:22, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Delete It is a map from a manga called "Hunter x Hunter". I couldn't check whether it was a direct copy, but according to the Italian Wikipedia such a map does occur. So this map, having the same imaginary geography, must be seen as derived from that. --Simonxag 22:32, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Josef Pröll
An un-commented gallery consisting of two pictures which are already shown in same appropriate category looks all-too-much like spam. Although I'm one of the authors of the pictures, please delete ASAP. WeHaWoe 17:46, 7 May 2008 (UTC) --WeHaWoe 17:47, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Beloved seemingly francophone wikipedian,
- it strongly infringes WP policies to remove a deletion request from an article, as you did here:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Josef_Pr%C3%B6ll&diff=11524577&oldid=11495188 - It is even worse to declare such changes, as you did, as "minor changes".
- The subpage you created and seemingly want to "protect", has nothing but redundant information to the category and its picture descriptions.
- I note that at 15:43 local time (13:43Z), the gallery "article" is still unused in any WP projects:
http://tools.wikimedia.de/~daniel/WikiSense/CheckUsage.php?w=_100000&i=Josef_Pr%C3%B6ll - The comment you recently added to the gallery page would be more appropriate to the "Category" page, anyways.
- eod from my part (j'en ai mard. Fais n'importe-quoi si personne ne t'empêche). WeHaWoe 13:27, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Delete per nom. While we're at it, perhaps delete User:Kelson as well, since this appears to be a vandalism-only account. -- Korax1214 19:02, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Upgrade to Speedy. I reckon my suggestion that User:Kelson be blocked from editing as well is a good one. Reasons:
-
- He keeps removing the deletion tag, apparently having difficulty understanding the "Do not remove this tag until the deletion request is closed".
- In his last removal, he gave the spurious reason that we "are not allowed to ask" for content to be deleted -- which is news to me, if so then why is there a deletion process in the first place?
- To my mind, Kelson has no understanding of Wikimedia Commons, what it is, what it's for or how it works, and at this rate never will, so enough already. -- Korax1214 00:46, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
-
- As long as I do not get any good justification : that means based on a rule elaborated by the community, I will not accept the suppression of this gallery. Currently, this gallery, is the best way to browse images of Josef Pröll. I would appreciate that people invest more time to upload/improve pictures than leading this outdated galery vs. category conflict. Thanks for your comprehension. Kelson 09:00, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

They can be looked up 24/7. And now, dear K's, (both of them) let's stop this silly&time-consuming conversation. It is just waist of energy. WeHaWoe 11:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Kelson has attempted to sabotage the deletion process again, hence Upgrade done -- "this gallery is subject to an existing deletion debate, which the owner has repeatedly sabotaged by removing the delete tag, under the delusion that he has special privileges including immunity from the deletion process (see gallery's revision history). Enough is enough." And maybe it's about time all of Kelson's other "contributions" came under scrutiny as well, since from the above and other comments, he clearly doesn't understand Wikimeda Commons and never will. -- Korax1214 06:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
I've just added a reply to Kelson's user page, in the (forlorn?) hope that he might actually make a good Wikimedian; I hope I've managed to stick to the points at hand, and not sink to personal attack (I was sorely tempted). -- Korax1214 07:28, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Oops, of course I meant his talk page. -- Korax1214 07:33, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- I maybe do not clearly understand, but you are definitely not able to give the concrete rule on which your deletion request is based on... and you have to do it. Kelson 09:20, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Wishful thinking again. I clearly stated the very concrete reason on which my speedy was based, namely that you keep sabotaging the deletion process instead of trying to seek favourable closure (keep) the official way. -- Korax1214 10:37, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

- For anyone passing. I did delete this as it was tagged as speedy. However on reflection I decided I was wrong & restored it. However I have also protected it as Kelson appears to think it is ok to remove deletion tags while the debate is in progress. I have warned them against such actions in the future --Herby talk thyme 11:43, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Comment. I don't understand the motive of this request. How exactly can this gallery be considered as spam? This gallery doesn't have any added value compared to the category, but as long as the gallery/template issue isn't closed, this is no reason to delete it. As it is, I would incline towards a speedy keep. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 11:47, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Speedy keep. Galleries holding the same content as a category are extremely common on Commons. This is no ground to request deletion.
Comment on behaviour:
- WeHaWoe, your suggestion that this gallery is spam could be read as offensive ; your subsequent bossy attitude towards Kelson does nothing to alleviate the problem.
- Kelson, you are not allowed to remove deletion request tags, as is clearly specified on them. Your command of English is sufficient for you to understand this.
- Korax1214, statements like "perhaps delete User:Kelson as well, since this appears to be a vandalism-only account" are utterly unacceptable in any case. Kelson is a serous contributor on several Wikipedia projects, as can clearly be seen on his personal page.
Rama 12:09, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Apologies =
I recognize my error (deletion of the banner) and I apology for that. Kelson 12:19, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] On request: once more, same stuff:
The gallery is pretty useless=100%redundant to the content of that less-than-poorly equipped category (3 pics in Category, 2 in Gallery, no description in Cat until I did, and 2 of 3 pics are mine).
Infringing was that deletion requests were removed (obviously more than once according to talk -- I did not care about or look up that more than once) by Kelson, thereby declaring his removal as "minor"
This gallery seems to be of no interest to anybody but Kelson at this given time (no links perceptible), and, meanwhile, user:Rama ;) Therefore I supposed kind-of "Link- and Namespamming". I'm not especíally keen on that kind of "stuff", but did rather stumble over, having contributed to the category and just seen redundant stuff in it. I will probably not contribute to any Category-vs.-Gallery discussions any more. Best, WeHaWoe 13:29, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- @Rama, mainly, and all others: keep it or delete it -- both will do pretty much the same. That's what I tried to express by my edit 11:39, 4. Jun. 2008 (&eod, from my part, REALLY). WeHaWoe 13:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Again, I might have to clarify: before I added my 2 pics, there was ONE pic in the category and of-course-same pic (guess by whom?) in that "One-pic-Gallery". I'd have called such "kiddy-like", and that was the point where I brought in my del.request. -- no: it was a speedy first. WeHaWoe 13:49, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Delete Copyright status is unknown, and the source site doesn't state any date when this picture/sculpture was made --Kanonkas(talk) 13:11, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Well if you look a bit further... en:John Rogers (sculptor), then we at least know the sculpture is more than 104 years old, and that according to the person who added the photo to wikipedia, the sculpture should be from 1862. TheDJ 13:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
-
Comment but did the person who placed the image there give a reference to support that? He died when he was around 75 years if the content on en wiki is true, then the copyright status would have expired on 2007/2008. If it was taken in 1862 which we do not have a source to prove. --Kanonkas(talk) 14:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
It's perfectly OK to use this picture. It was taken from my website, johnrogers.info. The pictures of all of the Rogers statues on the website were taken from the book that my parents, Meta and Paul Bleier, and I wrote on John Rogers. Wikipedia has our permission to use this picture, particulary since the picture came from the archives at the New York Historical Society and is no longer copywrited and is in the public domain. Bruce Bleier (PS...I've never used Wikipedia before and I guess I'm doing this wrong. I'll have to spend some time and figure out how any of this works, but you can always contact me through the website noted above.)

- The age of the photo is not so "clear" to me; Pons lived into the 1970s. In any case, mark on the photo seems to read "DeBelle" or "DeBells", "N[ew] Y[ork]", so it is a US work, and without other information about source and copyright cannot be assumed to be copyright expired unless it can be shown to date from 1922 or earlier.

[edit] Discussion
These have all been tagged with "Copyrighted free use" due to text in the LAC catalogue of "restrictions on use: nil". However, this text refers the restrictions place on LAC by the original photographer, and is not a license. See an email from LAC and the copyright notice on the LAC website. My understanding of Canadian copyright law is that for photographs after 1949, life of creator + 70 years is required for PD, so I've nominated all the post-1949 images I found with a quick scan.
I know a lot of work has been put into uploading and cataloging these images, and we haven't received notice from LAC, but I think it's unfair to re-users to use images from Commons which they think are "free", but could ultimately land them a cease and desist notice from LAC. Some day these images will all be PD, and I suspect they will waiting for us in the LAC catalogue. --Padraic 14:44, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- All of these images were uploaded but a handful of users, so I left a catch-all notice on their userpages, instead of the standard single-image template. I hope that's alright. --Padraic 15:27, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Delete them all. Speedy, anyone? Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 17:06, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Whoah, or not. What's this about "they also seem to be asserting control over those images which are now PD"? Are such images listed here (if so, delist them)? Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 17:26, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- No. As I said above, these are all post-1949 images, which mean they cannot be PD, as 70 years has not passed since the date of creation, never mind the death of the creator. I would hold off on the Speedy just in case any of the uploaders may have a reason to identify them as PD. --Padraic 18:08, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- And shouldn't that be 1939? *blinks* Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 18:11, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Not according to Template:PD-Canada. My understanding is there was a legal change which affected everything after January 1, 1949, which is the reason why the creator death date is irrelevant for pre-1949 photos. --Padraic 18:37, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Disregard me, I misunderstood your point, wasn't thinking very hard and was doing 2009 minus 70... Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 22:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

- Am I right that we can upload these images to individual projects with a FUR? For instance, Image:Ben Johnson Seoul 1988.jpg given that LAC permits their re-use with copyright attribution and there is no longer an opportunity to make a free image of the same subject? Franamax 20:01, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- You could give a FUR, but I think it would be unrelated to the LAC permission, since one of their criteria is "You do not manipulate and/or modify the material reproduced". But yes, my main point is that these don't belong on Commons (although I am also generating a similiar list of mistagged images at en.wp - I'm sure some of them wil be saved by fair use). --Padraic 20:08, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Comment I would suggest this nomination be ended, and the images relisted individually or in very small groups. Each image will have differing copyright/restriction statuses making a blanket nom unreasonable. i.e.: On Image:Trudeau-Turner-Campbell-Chretien-Clark.jpg, the copyright is held by the LOC itself, and it is clearly stated that no restrictions are placed on reproduction or use: [13]. Image:Hockey Player Tim Horton - Toronto Maple Leafs.jpg is a similar case: [14]. Resolute 20:13, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
-
- If you want to break them up into smaller groups, feel free. However, I think your example is flawed: the copyright notice I linked to above applies to the entire catalogue, and makes it clear that commercial use is prohibit. The "reproductions on use" is not intended for external re-users; rather it is the limits imposed by the original photographer on LAC itself. These two parts of the catalogue are contradictory -- which is why I emailed them in the first place. I think their response is clear. --Padraic 20:19, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

- Yeah, I was just reading that email in response to your last message. My mistake, disregard my comments. Resolute 20:26, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

- Can we separate this list into images with no wikilinks, which can be speedied; and images used in projects, which we will need to look at individually to construct FUR's? Also, is there a method to notify the other projects that they will need to do this too? Also also, I'm not exactly clear on the process to put a non-free image onto en:wiki, will it get speedied because it duplicates a commons image (there are bots doing this)? Thanks! Franamax 21:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- I think the best way to do that would be on the talk page of the articles where it is being used, e.g. "This article uses xxxx.jpg, which will deleted from Commons May X, 2008. Should you wish to use it on your project under a fair-use rationale, be sure to make a local copy before May X." --Padraic 21:29, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- OK thanks, I'm relatively sure I'll be doing those efforts on en:wiki, people tend to either let things go as they are or rail against the horribility of actually having to justify using other people's property. I'll try it myself and I might be able to get other people to help. Now my further question is: is there an interwiki bot available which could place those notices in the relevant languages on the xx:wikis? I could generate those notices in English, but I don't have a crosswiki-login at the moment and English doesn't seem to be an appropriate language to use for all the various wikis. BTW, I'm running through the images to find the usages, if that's pointless, please let me know, this is my first try at preserving images across multiple languages. Thanks!

Delete the many unused images list above. They are copyvios and should be removed ASAP. Do they need to be tagged in order to be speedy deleted, or can an admin just do it? --Padraic 19:46, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- Endorse speedy's for the unused images. Plea for time on the others as I am still assessing use, changing crop-vio's, and organizing a response to preserve the image use. Franamax 22:08, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- I've completed (I think) the usage survey, changed/changing the crop-vio usage across various wikis, and the toolserver db needs some time to replicate now. I've asked for bot help on en:wiki and will shortly try to organize a mini-project to address these issues. I also plan to place speedy notations beside all the copyvios which can be removed at once. Thanks! Franamax 01:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your hard work. The ones that have been flagged for speedy deletion have been nuked. Keep going! Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 11:46, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

- Also, I made a list of en.wp-hosted LAC images at w:User:Padraic/LAC. Those will need to be FUR'd or deleted at some point. --Padraic 14:02, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

- OK, I've identified all images that can be speedy'd without loss to any of the projects. Now comes the hard part - local uploads and FUR's, notifications to other projects, I can hear the en:wiki patrollers and image-bots sharpening their knives in anticipation :) I've copied the salvageable list to this page and I will try to organize some help (next two days) and start plugging through it on my own, starting with the cropvio's, and update the progress here. I understand these are all commons-ineligible and should probably be nuked immediately, but I'll ask for forebearance as long as we are showing progress. Is it reasonable to set a two-to-three week timeframe to clear this up? One week to en:upload and work out the issues, another week to notify the other projects and let them sort it out (or ignore), the last week for closeout? Anyway, I'll keep working on it, thanks! Franamax 23:42, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
- Wow, you are dedicated. I was perfectly willing to let other wikis go back to the LAC catalogue themselves after these images were deleted from Commons, but you are certainly making this easier for everyone. Congrats on your spirit of co-operation. --Padraic 13:31, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dicussion - copyright
- Canada is actually life+50, eh? WilyD 17:58, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- Usually, but looking at Padraic's flowchart link, if the copyright has been assigned to LAC, does it now have a corporate owner, thus PD at creation + 50? Curiouser and curiouser. Franamax 21:12, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- No, it's not Crown Copyright if the Queen gets her mitts on the ownership, nor does it switch if a corp buys it. If a corp creates it, or the Queen (or her agents) create it, then it's a straight 50 years. Some of the "official portraits" then would be 50 years straight up - an authorised parlimentary photograph (for instance, I put up one of Trudeau) would be Crown, and thus 50 years (assuming LAC isn't licencing it freely, which I'm not convinced of in all cases, anyways.) WilyD 18:10, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- For instance, Image:Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II 5.jpg should be crown copyright, and hence expired anyhow.
- Oh curse the day I ever saw this page! :) Now if I'm seeing things right 1) the Trudeau pic you refer to is Image:PierreTrudeau1980.jpg which is on the delete list because it's not yet +50 (actually life+50, 'cause it is copyright by a person); 2) All the Coronation...QEII pics are PD now and I can change the tags to reflect that; 3) and I think I found another one for the list: Image:Her_Majesty_Queen_Elizabeth_II_with_Prime_Minister_The_Rt._Hon._Pierre_Elliott_Trudeau_signing_the_Constitution.jpg. Have I got all that right? Franamax 19:12, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Err, not sure about the context of that Trudeau pic, but it doesn't matter - it's always at least 50 years to PD'ing - but if it's an official portrait, it's likely Crown Copyright, which is a flat 50 years. The Coronation pics should've entered the public domain in Canada on January 1st, 2004 - bcopyright is 50 year post creation for photographs if the owner is a corporation (in this case, a crown corp, but fine ....), agree with the constitution signing to go on the list ... *sigh*. WilyD 20:47, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- It would be much simpler if we would all just run for Parliament in Canada and change the law... :) Franamax 22:11, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

- There is actually a category for these images Category:Expo_1967 so presumably all of that needs to go (as well as some in the subcats). Gustav VH 18:06, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- Help - I've added two more Image:Glenn Gould 1974.jpg and Image:Glenn Gould 1959.jpg - can someone clarify for me: the subject of the photo is dead (so use can be claimed as fair-use for the image used on some wikis), however copyright is retained and usage restrictions still apply, so this is not allowed on commons. Have I got that right? Franamax 06:23, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- I think you are correct, yes. Only images that have no restrictions, at least in the U.S. can be placed on Commons. Gustav VH 10:19, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] PD Questions
- Question. I've uploaded a bunch of LAC images, but I'm pretty sure they all have "Copyright: Expired" on them. Am I affected?-Wafulz 16:55, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- I've just been looking into it and it seems to be a complete minefield. It depends on a number of factors; i.e. whether it was ever published, and if it was, where it was published and when- see here. I'm not sure how we are ever going to be able to work this out without a copyright lawyer :( Gustav VH 17:17, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- I'm thinking that as long as all the images are in Category:Images from Library and Archives Canada, they are open to LAC scrutiny and comment. We are being diligent here and they are aware of the issue - if they wish to challenge on the margins, we have to wait to see what the specific arguments are. Franamax 08:37, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

We are being diligent here and they are aware of the issue - if they wish to challenge on the margins, we have to wait to see what the specific arguments are. Franamax 08:37, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
- I've just been looking into it and it seems to be a complete minefield. It depends on a number of factors; i.e. whether it was ever published, and if it was, where it was published and when- see here. I'm not sure how we are ever going to be able to work this out without a copyright lawyer :( Gustav VH 17:17, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- I've written an incomplete set of instructions up at en:wiki, I'll finish it tomorrow and post to a noticeboard there asking for help. Scrutiny of my draft instructions is welcomed. Franamax 08:37, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Several of these images are Public Domain. Notably, photographs whose first owner is a corporation have their copyright expire 50 years after production. [15] Crown Copyright is also 50 years.
- Image:Canadian Supreme Court justices circa 1950.jpg Photograph whose first owner was a corporation, copyright expires 50 years after production - i.e. Jan 1, 2001
- Image:ChurchillStLaurent1954.jpg Photograph whose first owner was a corporation, copyright expires 50 years after production - i.e. Jan 1, 2005
- Image:Louisstlaurent.jpg expired Jan 1, 2001 - Note that LAC says "Copyright expired" NOT "Restrictions on use:nil"
- Image:Coronation of Elizabeth II 1.jpg, Image:Coronation_of_Elizabeth_II_2.jpg, Image:Coronation_of_Queen_Elizabeth_II_3.jpg, Image:Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II 4.jpg and Image:Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II 5.jpg Taken by the National Film Board in 1953 = Public Domain'd January 1st, 2004.
These three are the only ones I've so identified, although one of Diefenbaker says "Circa 1958" - obviously we care whether it was '58+ or '57 or earlier, the latter meaning it would be PD. WilyD 18:53, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

- Doesn't everything on commons need to be public domain in the United States? In that case don't we need to follow these rules? Gustav VH 18:06, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, right. I haven't come across a clear explanation of the rules on Canadian-American copyright on Commons -- maybe I'll write one. Based on that link, it looks like everything which was PD in Canada as of Jan 1, 1996 is fine, whereas everything else won't be PD untill 95 years after publication. Which means the above 4 images are no good (although if we ever start a Canadian Commons we can put them there). --Padraic 15:29, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

- Wow, that could be a gigantic headache, since LAC hosts a lot of unpublished private collections (e.g. Category:Photographs by William James Topley, although that passes the 70 years pma test). Something to watch for. --Padraic 14:34, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- The main point seems to be if a previously unpublished work created before 1978 was published between 1978-2002, in which case it is PD in life of author + 70 years or 31 December, 2047 (whichever is later). If created before 1978 but published in 2003 or after it is just life of author + 70 years. So how on earth can we check what has and what hasn't been published? Gustav VH 16:00, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- I have no freaking clue. It sucks for re-users, but I think this ends up being one of those situations wher we just host it untill/unless we get a takedown notice. --Padraic 16:20, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I started a thread on commons-l on the idea of a repository for PD-Canada works which are ineligible for Commons. --Padraic 18:42, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
A point that has been overlooked. Image:Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II 5.jpg is a British, not Canadian, work. Presumably the photographer was working for "The Crown" which as it was in the UK would mean the UK government. The British and Canadian crown are embodied in the same person, but they are different legal entities. It makes no difference to the free/non-free status - just means it should be PD-UKGov instead of PD-Canada. (addition)Actually, I'm not even sure of that, as looks like it is a Canadian worker who took the pictures, but UK copyright law would also apply on images taken in London (so now 3 countries matter?). Without detailed author info, I don't see how we can know which Crown the photographer was working for - they may have been working for them all simultaneously even.--Nilfanion 22:04, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] WHO Are these PEOPLE
Who are these people that have so much free time to delete everything on Wikipedia.
The Archives of Canada is a public organization, therefore all of their work is owned by the people of Canada. The archives of Canada is not going to be against not for profit redistribution of Canadian history.

- Everything on Commons has to be availiable for any use, including commercial use and free modification. Archives of Canada does not permit either of these. Gustav VH 14:10, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

- I doubt that this particular anon user has the faintest idea what s/he's on about, or s/he wouldn't be using the words "get" and "life" in the same sentence. :-) From what I've heard, "get a life" was already a hoary old cliché, a substitute for debate rather than an aid to it, some 20 years ago. -- 217.171.129.74 00:10, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Deleted, except for a few which are, in fact, PD; we can't go on hosting copyright violations indefinitely. A curse against the kind of irresponsibility that leads to messes like this. :\ Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 09:36, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Having dealt with LAC and their copyright department, please note that the vast majority of photographs in their on-line digital library specific to Expo 67 have no restrictions on use regarding "non-commercial use." This is identified by the word "NIL". For example, "RESTRICTIONS ON USE: NIL." To use those images, LAC would appreciate you annotating that the image belongs to them underneath the photograph along with its the reference number. The reason for them not restricting the use (provided that you do not alter the photograph(s) in any way) of those Expo 67 photographs stems from the fact that they do not know who the photographer was who took them.
All images in the LAC database will indicate, where possible, who the owner of the photograph is and who holds the copyright. Having examined their on-line digital database, there aren't very many Expo 67 photographs that fall into that category.
Interestingly, some of LAC's older collections have now fallen into "public domain" category.

[edit] Image:Reinhard Tristan Eugen Heydrich.jpg
New request because the old one (see above) is more than mysterious... Why PD-Japan? It´s a German foto. And don´t tell me, the image were PD because ist could be older than 70 years. That´s nonsense. Chaddy 15:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC) --Chaddy 15:31, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Delete I disagree with the previous keep. "Older than 70 years" is not "life + 70", and in lieu of evidence that it was done by an anonymous photographer, we can't have it here. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 17:19, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Delete Even as the previous closer, I now see that the evidence here is compelling. --- Anonymous DissidentTalk 06:28, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Keep because the image is rather old, older than PD, as ascribed. Zarbon 17:08, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
- It would be in the PD, if the author were more than 70 years dead. But we don´t know the author and it´s improbable that he/she is more than 70 years dead, because the image must be from between 1933 and 1945. Chaddy 04:31, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
KeepThis image needed most for Wikipedia. --El torero 09:28, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
