Claudio Edinger images uploaded by User:Estudioe

I note that among images covered by Ticket 2013020510005225 are included several book covers (link to files). Where it meets the threshold of originality, a cover design's copyright is likely held by the publisher, not by the book's author, so an attestation by the author that he or she freely licenses an image of the book cover is not sufficient unless it's accompanied by a similar statement from the publisher.

In my non-expert opinion, some of the covers in this case may fall below the threshold of originality and thus not be eligible for copyright qua book cover. Nevertheless, I often wonder when I see an OTRS ticket connected an image of a book cover whether the OTRS volunteer is aware that the author doesn't hold the rights to the cover art and therefore can't license an image of the cover. I have similar misgivings when I see a dustjacket photo of an author (or, in fact, any professional head shot) provided by the subject or an associate: typically, at least in North America, the copyright to head shots belongs to the photographer, not to the subject, so the subject's consent to publish it under a free license is immaterial. --Rrburke (talk) 15:39, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

That ticket is not from several book authors, but from the photographer Claudio Edinger who provided cover photographs. --Jarekt (talk) 12:38, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Mb-world

The pictures was nominated by Bill william compton because of no OTRS permission (see Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Mb-world). He has asked me to provide a confirmation mail. I’ve sent a confirmation mail 27 March 2013, but I had no answer. I asked Bill william compton about the confirmation on his talk page 1 April 2013 and 9 April (see User talk:Bill william compton) but I had no answer. The pictures was deleted with just a notation of "Deleted: To be restored upon reciept of OTRS permission", so I'm not sure if the deleting admin checked OTRS. I just re-sent the confirmation mail at permissions-commons@wikimedia.org, check please! --Mb-world (talk) 12:46, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

I found ticket:2013041510007531 & ticket:2013041710007591 from Mikhail V****yev! You sent an email (with correct agreement) from miscellaneous mail server! I read this section, if Your images used in "mb-world.ru" You should sending this agreement from this website's Mail server! (for example:infomb-world.ru). For other images: At first, You can upload images in commons and use {{OTRS pending}}. After uploading, You'll send an email to OTRS for confirming! --Mehdi^Talk 06:46, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Mehdi,I've uploaded new pictures and realised all rules)) Please check my confirmation mail from "mb-world.ru" mail server. But I have a problem with my last pictures which was deleted, I can't uploading pictures because it had been deleted: "There was another file already on the site with the same content, but it was deleted". What I have to do? Kind regards --Mb-world (talk) 13:52, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

This site appears to include works by several photographers: how can the ones to which you hold copyright be distinguished? --Rrburke (talk) 14:48, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

I sent an email for User:Putnik for checking this section.--Mehdi^Talk 15:28, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

File:Хандорин фото.JPG and Ticket:2013041710005566

Hi, can someone have a look at this ticket pls. I have this image on my watchlist and revereted multiple times a set of {{PermissionOTRS}} by non OTRS-members. As the set of {{OTRS pending}} is now +30 days ago, I set {{nopd}} today. The uploader contacting me today on my talk page as well, there should be another mail from May 18, 2013 according this image. Thx and regads --JuTa 16:49, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

ticket:2013041710005566 (in permissions-ru) does exist indeed and received some replies from an OTRS volunteer and there is also the email from 18 May (ticket:2013051810004269, partially written in Russian), but while permissions-commons is quite up-to-date, permissions-ru has a bit of a backlog with 36 open tickets from March/April until now. The permission of this image looks OK, but as I don't speak Russian (and I don't want to rely on Google Translate), I'd leave it to a Russian volunteer. Anyone here? Trijnstel_talk 13:29, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

The last email (May 18, 2013) with a resolution written in English. The text of the Declaration is written in Russian, but this is the standard text Declaration of consent. Please help will solve this problem, this image does not violate copyright and downloaded legally. Thank you. --V timm (talk) 18:30, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

• permission was given, marked the image with the ticket rubin16 (talk) 17:11, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

I think that this discussion is resolved and can be archived. If you disagree, don't hesitate to replace this template with your comment. Trijnstel_talk 21:07, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Wohin eine Mail schreiben?

Mir hat jemand angeboten,dass ich Bilder aus seinem Blog hier hochladen könnte. Wohin soll er eine Mail schreiben, um das zu bestätigen. Was muss drin stehen? (in Englisch oder noch besser Portugiesisch). --Patrick (talk) 13:30, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Englisch oder Portugiesisch oder Deutsch ist kein Problem. Die Copyright-Inhaber muss die Datei zu einer freien Lizenz wie CC-BY-SA 3.0 freigeben. Sie können zu permissions-commonswikimedia.org schreiben. Jcb (talk) 13:47, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

OK, Luis Macedo hat die Mail geschrieben, ich habe acht Bilder hochgeladen. Ich hoffe, es klappt. ;-) --Patrick (talk) 18:32, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

I think this is the related ticket: ticket:2013051910004043. Trijnstel_talk 21:01, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Deleted file from you and permission ticket:2013051510003926

Hi everybody!

I am a Wikipedia contributor, I don't have an OTRS account.

I'm writing a Wikipedia page about the composer Umberto Scipione, I'd like to upload an image in this page. The image I want to upload belongs to Umberto Scipione himself , the url of the image is: http://www.umbertoscipione.it/home/it/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/foto_e_nome_no_off_s.jpg.

I got the permission from the owner to issue the file on wikipedia and I got the permission from Lorenzo Losa at Wikimedia Commons as well: ticket:2013051510003926

I made a mistake uploading the file and not referring to the number of autorization: the image has been deleted from you.

I'm trying uploading the file again but Wikimwdia doesn't allow me to do it.

You tell me that my permission is available as ticket #2013051510003926 for users with an OTRS account, but, as I told you, I can't log in OTRS.

How can I do now? Is there something you could do centrally?

Best Regards Manola Varisco —Preceding unsigned comment added by Manola varisco (talk • contribs) 17:12, 19 May 2013‎ (UTC)

I confirm that the authorization is valid; the file should be undeleted, but I can't do it by myself. Is there any admin reading? - Laurentius (talk) 09:12, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

The file has just been undeleted. - Laurentius (talk) 09:20, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

I think that this discussion is resolved and can be archived. If you disagree, don't hesitate to replace this template with your comment. Resolved by Laurentius. Mehdi^Talk 09:28, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Bullwacker

File:The Bullwacker by John Weaver.jpg is the file that someone may be looking for in an email from a David Schmitz. He just sent me the wrong wording and I just sent the correct wording so his next email to you should be okay.--Canoe1967 (talk) 12:09, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

I might be missing something, but I can only find an email from David Schmitz of today, 06:00 (UTC). And nothing of the heirs of John Weaver. Trijnstel_talk 12:39, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

I think the previous DRs had verified that the statue itself is public domain because of improper copyright (1976). We just need the permission of the photographer now. David Schmitz had sent me emails way back when I uploaded none were sent to OTRS--Canoe1967 (talk) 13:01, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
