Why did you remove a picture with a valid license ?

Hello, On the french page Niko Bellic on Wkipedia (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niko_Bellic), I added a photo of the character that I have upload myself on Wikicommons : File:Niko Bellic.png, but you have remove the picture with the reason : "Copyright violation". However I posted this picture from the Internet by an advanced search where only images without copyright were display. What's more I checked the license Creative Commons on the website of the author before upload on Wikicommons and it was valid. Thanks for answer me and sorry for my english.

Hello, I deleted the file because it is a direct copy of game artwork which is copyrighted. The license on deviantart doesn't matter; because the uploader on deviantart did not originally create the image, it's still copyrighted by Rockstar, the makers of GTA IV. The uploader at deviantart never owned the rights to the image, so they can't release them. This is a difficult thing to explain across a language barrier. If you don't understand then you can ask at Commons:Service d'aide where you might get a more satisfactory answer. Thanks, –⁠moogsi (blah) 21:58, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your answer, I have understand but I have a question : I can't upload this picture because the licence wasn't valid because don't own by the uploader but by Rockstar but can I upload this picture with a copyrighted licence like I see on the English page of Niko Bellic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niko_Bellic) ? Thank you and sorry to disturb you. --Nicryc (talk) 07:48, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Non-free content is uploaded to the English language Wikipedia as "fair use". Francophone Wikipedia doesn't allow content under this exception, sorry. Different Wikipedias have different policies on this, see meta:Non-free content. You're welcome, don't apologize for asking :) –⁠moogsi (blah) 15:45, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

But, I found a photo on the Wikimedia Commons of Ezio Auditore (so a character of video games owned by Ubisoft) with a Creative Commons licence 3.0 (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ezio_Brotherhood.jpg). Why this photo can be upload and not a photo of Niko Bellic for example ? Thank you so much, you taught me a lot about the upload of pictures on Wikipedia, thank you. --Nicryc (talk) 21:21, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

The simple answer is "nobody noticed it" :) - Commons is run by volunteers and there are ~10000 new uploads per day. The uploader of that file made the same mistake you did - the file at source is licensed as CC-BY-SA 3.0, but it's actually a non-free screenshot from the AC:B trailer –⁠moogsi (blah) 21:38, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

small error in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Letky 2.jpg

Hi, I'm not sure it's necessary to bother you about this, but when you closed the deletion request you wrote "deleted." I don't think that's what you meant. Rybec (talk) 23:25, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Haha, thank you. No, that's not what I meant :) –⁠moogsi (blah) 23:29, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

File:Ophélie Koering 02.JPG

Hi Moogsi. I just tagged this as a copyvio because it was watermarked, and you deleted this and another one. Now I've come across Category:Ophelie Koering and found that the same uploader has been providing high-resolution quality images including metadata. So from the technical point of view this might well be the original photographer Carlotta Forsberg whose images are also being used all across the web. I've left them a notice about OTRS at their user talk. De728631 (talk) 00:09, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for doing that, I wouldn't have noticed. If the uploader is the photographer then, as you say, she will have to confirm her identity as her work is very much previously published. It's also possible that the uploader is the subject - Elfy70 for someone named Ophélie born in 1970 is not a big stretch :) –⁠moogsi (blah) 00:23, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Yep, I've been thinking about the "Elfy" connection too. Might as well be someone from her agency. De728631 (talk)

Hi Moogsi - a file you removed for copyright violation has been re-uploaded by User:Saikatsit as Own work- see: here. Cheers, Acabashi (talk) 02:42, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

File:Afipski.JPG

Hello, I've removed the template. I've copied the info from de original Russian Wikipedia and put this template:

This work has been released into the public domain by its author, Inquisitor at the Russian Wikipedia project. This applies worldwide. In case this is not legally possible: Inquisitor grants anyone the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law.

. Regards, --Bagratun (talk) 23:18, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, but how did you know this is the license of the file? It didn't even have one on ru.wiki, that's why I tagged it –⁠moogsi (blah) 23:37, 24 April 2013 (UTC) I didn't expect it to still be there! Never mind –⁠moogsi (blah) 23:38, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Licence File:AbsideCattedraleSarlat.JPG

Dear Mr. Moogsi, I thank you for your warning about the above mentioned image. May be, that when I have uploaded this file, I have forgotten to specify the related licence. Anyway, no doubt that it is my own work and in such cases I release the Images in Public Domain. So I have just put this tag {{PD-self|author=K.Weise}} in the file description and hope to have done the correct thing. Please check it: If there is still something wrong or unclair, please don't exitate to contact me again. Yours faithfully--K.Weise (talk) 08:42, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Yes, that's fine, thank you for adding the license! –⁠moogsi (blah) 08:44, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Logo

Hi, please remove protection for a time with logo I want to download a higher quality here. You can then be put back on defense. with respect -- Дагиров Умар (talk) 17:34, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello, the logo is fine, but do you have a vector version that you can upload to File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-ce.svg? A vector version of the loogo must also be available. Thank you, –⁠moogsi (blah) 18:28, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

I was told that you can not use SVG wikipedia. -- Дагиров Умар (talk) 19:38, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Quite the contrary: please re-create the new version in an SVG editor (preferably Inkscape, since Adobe Illustrator leaves a lot of redundant code) and re-upload it under File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-ce.svg — I will then export a PNG file out of that SVG and upload it to File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-ce.png so that it appears on your wiki. Thanks! odder (talk) 20:05, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-ce.svg font Linux Libertine. please put. --Дагиров Умар (talk) 20:49, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Please convert text to path in that file, thanks! odder (talk) 20:57, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Ok, but I have to download it here and there is protection can take off on time? -- Дагиров Умар (talk) 21:07, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Sorry? I meant that in the SVG file that you uploaded, text needs to be converted into path before I create a PNG file and re-upload it. odder (talk) 21:09, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

So I did the right thing? -- Дагиров Умар (talk) 21:39, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

I did Object to Path Made. -- Дагиров Умар (talk) 21:47, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Sorry I do not speak English and the interpreter did not translate what I wanted to say ... I did what you asked can download thank you. -- Дагиров Умар (talk) 21:55, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank logo is now normal. -- Дагиров Умар (talk) 22:17, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Oh, sorry! I did update the PNG logo ages ago, just to forgot to mention it here. odder (talk) 23:47, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

 Done... did you know that edit requests appear in Category:Commons protected edit requests? Someone will get round to them eventually :) –⁠moogsi (blah) 00:20, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Yes, i know. but problem is they doing it 3/4 days later :P --Aftab1995 (talk) 00:35, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

It seems fine to me. Are you sure you're not seeing instances of {{Flickrreview}}? –⁠moogsi (blah) 20:15, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

I see here but on the image page (for example:File:Dasarath Rangasala Stadium.jpg) i can't see. --Aftab1995 (talk) 14:17, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Licensing

Hello Moogsi, yes, of course I meant {{Self|Attribution}} as a licence. The reason why I have to sobstitute it is that upload tools do not allow me to choose it from the beginning, so I am forced to change it after uploading. My intention is to place my pictures under a "green copyright": copyrighted, but free for any uses, including commercial ones. I noticed it works better than the "cc-attribution-share-alike" in having re-user mentioning author's an source when republishing them. --User:G.dallorto (talk) 09:02, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

2 DR's

If you can, please close this DR as a Keep--I withdrew my nomination-- and please close this older DR as a Delete...as the uploader does not object to the image's deletion. Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 08:26, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Malformed coordinate tages

What is going on with Category:Pages with malformed coordinate tags? I have been steadily working the files and repairing coordinates—have done a couple of hundred files, but the number of files in the category is fast increasing. Yesterday there were around 8,100 files in the category, and suddenly today there are about 10,100 such files. Also, many of the files that are in that category appear to have perfectly good coordinates. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 05:29, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

The contents of the category are currently incorrect due to a bug. See COM:AN#Category:Pages with malformed coordinate tags –⁠moogsi (blah) 07:19, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Deleted picture "castor traversant un lac"

you destroyed the picture I had taken and made ​​available to wikimedia. Before destroyed picture... read comments. If comments are made ​​in other languages ​​that you know use google translation .. please. @declic —Preceding unsigned comment added by Declic (talk • contribs) 22:08, 5 May 2013‎ (UTC)

Hi, I only tagged File:Castor_traversant_un_lac.jpg as "no license" because you didn't specify which license you wanted to release the picture under. "CC-BY-SA" is unfortunately not specific enough and I was unable to tell which license you wanted to use. There was nothing in the description I didn't understand. The file is not destroyed, I can undelete it so you can add a license if you want, though bear in mind that we have a specific project scope at Commons (Commons:Critères_d'inclusion/Résumé), and generally don't accept a user's own artwork unless it is otherwise notable ("créations artistiques créées par le contributeur sans usage éducatif évident"). I'm sorry that your contribution was deleted –⁠moogsi (blah) 22:25, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Woohoo

Thanks for being a Commons administrator aware of the needs of the sister sites and applying {{PD-US-1923-abroad-delete}}, rather than just deleting. Very nice!  — billinghurst sDrewth 23:26, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Deleted File:CedarIslandMarina.jpg

Hi Moogsi,

You deleted a file that I posted on our business' wiki page, Cedar Island Marina. This file is a picture of our marina, which we own. Our website is cedarislandmarina.com, on the website our email is listed a cedarislandmarina@gmail.com. If you want you can send me an email to this address and I will verify I am a representative of the business. The reason you took it down was because you found the picture on merchant circle, which was posted from my account. I also do not care if this image is used or in public domain, so I would be willing to sign any release. I do not have any experience with this, but I hope this is sufficient for you to undelete the file. Thanks. Shapikri (talk) 20:50, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

I would suggest following the response to your undeletion request. If you own the copyright to the image (and it is not owned by the photographer, for example) then you can release it by contacting Commons:OTRS from an identifiable email (e.g. if you have an address @cedarislandmarina.com) –⁠moogsi (blah) 21:27, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

I emailed them at permissions-commons@wikimedia.org on Mon, May 6 at 1645 ET. No response. Is this the right email address? Shapikri (talk) 17:36, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes, it is correct. As long as you gave explicit permission (i.e. said something to effect of one of the template at COM:OTRS), then OTRS will reinstate the file and tag it as having permission. Generally they don't contact you unless there's a problem. Unfortunately OTRS is quite backlogged at the moment (like the rest of Wikimedia projects, it's largely volunteer-run) –⁠moogsi (talk) 17:17, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Okay! Thanks. I did use the template. Hope it works. Shapikri (talk) 18:47, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello! Will you please consider merging the histories of the above file with that of File:Egyptian geese-4837 3 no-watermark.jpg. You suggested the same on the DR page of the former file but I do not know how to do it or how to mark it for such. TIA. Rahul Bott (talk) 02:56, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Bots

Your bot first removed the source and then placed a deletion tag because of a missing source. What gives? mr.choppers (talk)^-en- 07:10, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Where are the other professionally-shot, high-res pics from this user? Or did they take a break from taking photos like File:1981 Anadol A8-16.jpg to drive up a mountain and take exactly one professional shot? I don't believe the user created this image. Instead of tagging it as having no source, I should have nominated it for deletion instead. It just stinks of an image ripped from somewhere else. You'd be surprised how many people think that scanning a magazine or a brochure means they own the image.

PS, the bot isn't operated by me and I removed the source myself in the course of reviewing the upload (all bot moves to Commons are reviewed) –⁠moogsi (blah) 16:02, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

That's another story altogether - and then you should have nominated it correctly. Perhaps the A8-16 was just taken with a phone (s)he happened to have handy, who knows? Here's all of the user's files: http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Özel:DosyaListesi/EnginT mr.choppers (talk)^-en- 17:15, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

pls leave a comment

... as you wanted to have a source and a correct license.--Sanandros (talk) 12:35, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

It's not really so much that I wanted it, rather than we can't really host it without a source or a license, neither of which it had. We actually can't host this file anyway, even if the author is unknown, it's still copyrighted in the US due to URAA-restored copyrights. I personally hate telling people about this dumb law, but I'll have a go –⁠moogsi (talk) 16:16, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Re:Translation

You're welcome. I tried to by apart of the case since IP's user has been block in spanish Wikipedia (first one week, next two per block evasion) due to a long list of very personal attacks agains Ezarate, the "oligarch admin" in Commons, others es:WP admin and specially me (including my old nick, my job and an interview a newspaper made me some time ago) because when I was admin in es:WP I deleted or mark as copyvio several (almost all in deed) of "his" articles, and apparently I was the cause of his temporary retirement from es:WP (from october last year to january-february this one, when I've got my deadminship) per delete all his "altruist work of 4 years" (sic). First I though it was better to keep distance, but seen translation was needed and no other translation was available even when a couple of days has past since, well, I did. BTW, if you need translate something into spanish, just ask in my TP here or in my TP in es:WP. Cheers. --Ganímedes (talk) 20:45, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks

I'm so sorry for the confusing instructions; I got kind of impatient and went ahead and reset the flickreviewr tag so the bot could approve the image. My fault for being confusing! – Kerαunoςcopia^◁galaxies 07:44, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Template protection request

Are u there? plz fullfill this - this template (Template:Created with/bn) used in almost 40+ template & (Template:Translated tag/local category-bn which created category automatically) almost every template. make them semi-protected. thanks :) --Aftab1995 (talk) 17:11, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi, it's generally not necessary to protect pages such as this. They're not common targets for vandalism (you have to actually know where they are). For example, none of the other translations of these templates are protected. I wouldn't be too concerned about it –⁠moogsi (talk) 14:58, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
