[edit] Deletion requests

When there are many images which you are nominating for deletion for the same reason please do a mass deletion request. Grouping them together makes everyone's life easier - the issues can be addressed at one location, and admins must close only a single DR. Thanks! – Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 20:35, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion discussion

I posted my reply about the Image:Punishment_By_Mosquitoes.jpg. There is an ORTS ticket. Also, a link to the origination site of this image has now been proided (perhaps that was the problem?). The original page has a copyright sign of Jamestown foundation. So, they claim the image to be theirs, and I do not see any reason to dispute this. Does it mean that the problem has been resolved? Thank you.Andrei Lomize 19:34, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

If you do not have any further arguments or questions, could you please withdraw this nomination? Thank you. Andrei Lomize 20:25, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Mongolian_women.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multilicense GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you. -- Fernando Estel ☆ · 星 ^commons _es 20:28, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Building photo

Hi! I just noticed that a photo I'd taken of a wall along a main street in the town of Brookston, Indiana has been marked for deletion, and I wanted to understand a little better how copyrights on this kind of thing work. I'd understood that public buildings visible from public spaces could be legally photographed, but that copyrighted artwork upon those buildings might not be reproducible. In this case, though, I'm not sure how to determine if the work is copyrighted; there's nothing on or around it to suggest that it is and it was put up by the town for its sesquicentennial. It would seem that one should be able to legally photograph a very public display of this sort, but more guidance would be helpful. Thanks~ Huwmanbeing ☀★ 14:30, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

review

•  Support Missing Camera location info, but IMO the image is too valuable to oppose it because of this.--Mbz1 (talk) 02:07, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Geolocation is a requirement with only few exceptions. It should be possible to contact the author and a least get an estimate. Lycaon (talk) 20:48, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose. Agree with Lycaon, but will support if even an approximate geolocation can be added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MichaelMaggs (talk • contribs) 06:22, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
•  Support As per Mbz1 --Foroa (talk) 06:48, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
•  OpposeApproximate geocoding accepted. -- Slaunger (talk) 21:14, 4 July 2008 (UTC) Needs geocoding. -- Slaunger (talk) 00:03, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

• I added the approximate coordinates to the image, and I believe that in this particular case for this particular image the exception could be made. The image is very valuable and taken in a very hard to get place.--Mbz1 (talk) 03:05, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

   Support With approximate geocode. -- Slaunger (talk) 21:14, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Bonjour,

A propos de ce bandeau, je ne suis pas à l'origine de l'import de cette image. J'améliore la mise en page du bandeau des licences des images sur commons, c'est pour cela qu'on voit mon nom mais c'est surtout la première personne qui est toujours en bas de liste qui est la première à faire l'import. C'est elle qu'il faut contacter pour informer / apposer le bandeau de suppression. Cette personne pourra confirmer / infirmer l'origine de l'image. Moi je ne peux le faire puisque je ne suis pas à l'origine de l'import. Cordialement,--Patricia.fidi (talk) 07:42, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WatchWithKristin images

Saw that you've uploaded a bunch of images from the Flickr account of WatchWithKristin. There's one teensy problem... the subject of the photo does not appear in the description and as a result it doesn't come up in searches on that name. I had independently come across the Flickr account and went to upload her shot of Kristin Chenoweth after doing a search on the name which came back with nothing. I've since fixed the description of a couple of them, but there's more that needs correction. Tabercil (talk) 22:44, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

oh, I thought the search also caught titles and they just hadn't been indexed yet. I'll go back through them in a little bit and fix them all. Mangostar (talk) 22:49, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

What you said is probably be true... I did a search just now for Kristin Chenowith and it didn't show either image of her, the one you uploaded or the one I uploaded. And when I went to search for Kristin in general, at the very end of the search was Image:Kristin på besøk, september 2006 045.jpg, which has the word "Kristin" only in the title and not in the description. I still think it's a good idea to have the subject's name in the description just the same. Tabercil (talk) 00:27, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Replied. :) Master of Puppets (talk) 17:46, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Yep. I'll email you his permission message; I've asked him in the meantime to change their licenses, but he definitely gave me permission. Master of Puppets (talk) 20:58, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Actually, nevermind, there is no email function. Here's his message:

"Hi,

I am a huge fan of wikipedia, hardly a day goes by without me checking an article. Please use any picture you like they are covered by a creative commons license attribution and non commercial. Regards, Julien <email removed>"

I told him that we can't use the NC license so he said do it anyway and he'll change the licenses, which I'm waiting on. Cheers, Master of Puppets (talk) 21:05, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello Mangostar!

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.

To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.

You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

Thank you. BotMultichillT (talk) 11:01, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Frank Monroe Hawks images

Note: the following message was sent to the Purdue University:

Dear Shauna (borger@purdue.edu)

I would like to use two images found in the Purdue University Libraries e-Archives,: 1. Old ID Number xv.c.25, New ID Number b13f12i10 Title: Amelia Earhart and Frank Hawks and 2. Old ID Number xv.c.7, New ID Number, b13f15i13, Title: Pilot Frank Hawks in flight

to illustrate an article on Wikipedia about Frank Hawks. See: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Monroe_Hawks>

I am an author and researcher with nine books in publication and 13 films in which I was a technical director or consultant, and intend to use this publicly accessed article as the basis of an a scholarly work in the future, but have had some difficulty in obtaining images for illustration.

Can you release the two aforementioned images through accepting the following: I hereby assert that I am the creator and/or sole owner of the exclusive copyright of WORK [ http://earchives.lib.purdue.edu/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/earhart&CISOPTR=673&CISOBOX=1&REC=1] and [1] .

I agree to publish that work under the free license [2] LICENSE [images: choose at least one from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags/Free_licenses text: CC-BY-SA version 3.0].

I acknowledge that I grant anyone the right to use the work in a commercial product and to modify it according to their needs, provided that they abide by the terms of the license and any other applicable laws.

I am aware that I always retain copyright of my work, and retain the right to be attributed in accordance with the license chosen. Modifications others make to the work will not be attributed to me.

I acknowledge that I cannot withdraw this agreement, and that the content may or may not be kept permanently on a Wikimedia project.

DATE, NAME OF THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER

Bill ... in my other life, a meek and mild librarian... Zuk <wzuk1@shaw.ca> FWiW, it is exceedingly hard to find PD images but these should qualify. Bzuk (talk) 14:03, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

The Purdue Archives holds the rights to the George Putnam collection where the two images reside. They do routinely allow for the images to be used for publications. When Amelia Earhart's collection was sent to Purdue by G.P. Putnam, it allowed researchers access to a vast collection of her files, in which letters from Frank Hawks, (her first aircraft ride was with Hawks) were found. He sent Amelia a congratulatory letter after a record flight and included a postcard and photograph. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 15:42, 4 July 2009 (UTC).

The postcard image is autographed to Amelia, as is the photograph of Amelia Earhart and Frank Hawks, making these unique images that were different from just an ordinary item. From letters to Earhart, Hawks expressed his admiration and obviously wanted her to keep these tokens. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 16:38, 4 July 2009 (UTC).

Keeping the chain of events in place, Amelia would have owned the rights to the articles in question which would have reverted to her husband's ownership and he deeded the rights to the material to the Purdue University. FWiW, not trying to be difficult, but just trying to see if the images are suitable. 19:45, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

M, or C, whichever, is there some way that these images can be used? If it is a historically significant figure or event from the 1930s, isn't there some means to identify the images as usable. I am merely trying to "rescue" an article that had major issues with images in the past, and must have popped up in your radar due to the previous strained attribution notations. Just one comparison with the former incarnation of the article will show the extent of research and scholarship that has recently gone into this article. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 20:40, 4 July 2009 (UTC).
