Category discussion warning

Category:2008_World_Rowing_Masters_Regatta has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category.

In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you!


Renata3 (talk) 06:13, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Hallo Schwede66. Ich habe gerade die Diskussion auf Flickr gelesen, die du mit dem Fotografen hattest. Die CC-by-2.0 Lizenz ist natürlich ok, aber auch vorher wäre das Bild schon akzeptabel gewesen. Du schreibst dort, dass "public domain" bei Commons nicht erlaubt sei, aber das ist so nicht richtig. Was wir nicht akzeptieren ist die "Public Domain Mark 1.0" Creative Commons Zero icon (PDM). Aber laut den Metadaten der Bilddatei hatte cogdog das Foto vorher unter Creative Commons Zero icon "Public domain" im Sinne von Creative Commons Zero 1.0 veröffentlicht, was total in Ordnung ist. Bei den beiden muss man höllisch aufpassen, denn das eine (PDM) ist lediglich eine Angabe, dass das Bild gemeinfrei ist – warum, wird aber meist nicht angegeben und lässt sich nicht nachprüfen. CC Zero dagegen ist eine bewusste Verzichtserklärung durch den Urheber und damit auch auf Commons gültig. Wie dem auch sei, ich habe das Bild jetzt mit CC-by-2.0 geprüft. De728631 (talk) 14:58, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

De728631 Gut, danke. Ich benutze das Flickr Upload Tool und das akzeptiert diese Lizenz nicht. Hat such aber geregelt. Schwede66 16:49, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Possible copyright issue

Hi Schwede66, I see you've uploaded some NIWA images a while ago. It appears the NIWA licence has changed on their website. Do you think they should be deleted now? E.g. these files - see original file here. Licence on the NIWA website is CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, not the more permissive licence noted on the file pages. Cheers Ballofstring (talk) 03:49, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

@Ballofstring: For Commons, what matters is how a file is licensed at the time of upload. If they change their mind on licensing later on that’s their problem. Schwede66 18:51, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
@Schwede66: Okay, great thanks! They are really great images so it would be a shame to lose them... glad we get to keep them :-) Ballofstring (talk) 23:57, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Extinction Rebellion - Climate Action Now - 30985632567.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

@Ronhjones: Having just had another read of de minimis you are probably correct. Schwede66 17:53, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
It's always tricky - there are a few that are "probably" OK - I left File:Frack off, Extinction Rebellion (cropped).jpg - maybe just too simple, but as it's here in the UK, the COM:TOO is also extremely low, so it does not take much effort to gain copyright when making a banner/placard.

Thanks for uploading File:185 empty white chairs- remembering Christchurch earthquake.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

I've contacted the photographer via Flickr Mail to please choose a compatible license. Schwede66 02:40, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2018 is open!

Dear Schwede66,

You are receiving this message because we noticed that you voted in R1 of the 2018 Picture of the Year contest, but not yet in the second round. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2018) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked.

In the final (and current) round, you may vote for a maximum of three images. The image with the most votes will become the Picture of the Year 2018.

Round 2 will end 17 March 2019, 23:59:59.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee 18:05, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

Flickr2Commons

I have just come across a few images you have recently uploaded from Flickr. I would appreciate it if in the future, you used the Flickr2Commons tool. This tool allows images to be moved to Commons from Flickr without having to download the images to your own computer. It also brings in the largest resolution of the image, as well making sure to list the correct license and url, making it easy for the automated Flickr Review system. Also, it is fairly easy to categorize images with this tool. To use it, you just need to go to the url and authorize it (where it says "authorise first").--B dash (talk) 00:16, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

@B dash: I don't download Flickr images to my computer first. Under my user rights, I get the option of uploading directly from Flickr via the Upload wizard, and all I have to do is to provide the Flickr URL. I would have thought that the system is clever enough to find its way to the full-res version as any down-sized version relates back to the full-size version via given URL rules on Flickr. Is that not so? Would you be able to provide an example where I've uploaded a photo from Flickr that isn't the full version? Also, I've never used auto-categorisation as I don't believe in that; I'd rather stay in full control of that aspect. Schwede66 00:39, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
@B dash: Could you please give me the courtesy of answering (at least some of) my questions? Schwede66 09:50, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

@JuTa: It's my own video, taken on my iPhone. I uploaded it to Vimeo first so that I can convert it to a format that works for Commons. Just like it's described on the relevant help page. Now that the video is on Commons, I've set visibility on Vimeo to "only me" so there is no way of checking there, I'm afraid. Schwede66 09:48, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
Then you should give the vimeo movie a license that commons accepts. Otherwise it will likely get deleted within a week. --JuTa 09:53, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
@JuTa: Done. But I ask once more, how will you check now that the video is no longer listed? Schwede66 10:02, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
I didnt meant to delete the vimuea video, but to change its license. --JuTa 10:05, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
@JuTa: That is what I have done; I have changed the licence to Commons Share Alike. Schwede66 10:08, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
But I now get Leider konnten wir die Seite nicht finden (in german), that looks like it has been deleted or hidden. --JuTa 10:10, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
@JuTa: That is unsurprising. As I said above, I've set visibility on Vimeo to "only me". I have no interest in people looking at my videos on Vimeo. I simply use that site for video format conversion purposes as per the help page linked to above. That is all. And after all, what I do with my videos on other sites is entirely my own business, isn't it? Schwede66 10:16, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
Then nobody can check that license anymore. You should switch it back, otherwise the license check will fail. --JuTa 10:18, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
PS: on the help page there a lot of offline conversion tools listed. Maybe its better you use some of them in future, then you dont have to "publish" the videos online at vimeo anymore. --JuTa 10:20, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

@JuTa: Nobody needs to check that licence any more. It's my video. I took the video for publishing on Wikimedia Commons. It is licensed here on Wikimedia Commons the way I want it to be licensed. It is now licensed on the other site with a compatible license. That it was briefly visible on another site is merely a function of Wikimedia Commons recommending that I use that site for file format conversion purposes. In fact, the video was originally unlisted but the Video2commons utility produced an error (which was obvious; it simply couldn't see that URL). I use Vimeo because that's the default option that's been recommended for this. If this situation is a problem then Wikimedia needs to get its shit together and start accepting more video file formats. I sense, though, that it isn't really a problem and you simply want to be difficult. Where's the common sense approach? This is my video, mate. Think about it for a second. Schwede66 10:32, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

Then you should remove the vimeo link and the {{Licensereview}} template on the desciption. --JuTa 10:35, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

Denis O'Rourke

I've done some Google image searching for photos of Denis O'Rourke and as near as I can be certain that is a photo of him. The date of the photo also matches his time as an MP. I'm happy if you want to err on the side of caution with regards to identification though. Any reason in particular you think it isn't him? Kiwichris (talk) 04:34, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

@Kiwichris: I've asked Denis to tell us; awaiting his reply. Schwede66 02:59, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi Schwede66! I just wanted to express my admiration for your work here. When it comes to Christchurch's topics (your own pictures, Flickr images, categories...), I see your contributions everywhere. Thanks heaps for that, you've done here truly tremendous amount of work. All the best Podzemnik (talk) 06:02, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

Critically evaluate Flickr licenses
File:Sir Peter Williams QC.jpg has been marked as a copyright violation. You may have preserved the information shown on Flickr correctly when transferring the image here, but the Flickr uploader is not the copyright holder of this image. Either the image was created by someone else, or it is a derivative of someone else's work. As stated in Commons:Licensing, only the copyright holder may issue a license, so the one shown on Flickr is invalid. Always remember to critically evaluate Flickr licenses. Photostreams with professional-looking photographs, album covers, posters, and images in a wide range of styles or quality taken by many different cameras often indicate that the Flickr uploader either does not understand or does not care about copyright matters. See Commons:Questionable Flickr images for a list of known bad Flickr users.

Thanks for uploading File:Aug17 Patsy Reddy Mira Woldberg.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

  • To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
  • To perform file name swaps.
  • When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Wikidata infobox

Thanks for edits like this. I was hoping that a bot would add it later on if I added Property:P373 to Wikidata items but it's not enough. One has to add a related category to sitelinks to force the bot adding the template into a category. --Podzemnik (talk) 01:04, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, I noticed that it's not working automatically so I do them when items pop up on my watchlist. But I've just gone through your contributions, looking for new items, as I (obviously) don't have everything on my watchlist :) Schwede66 01:38, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Deleting a category

Hi - are you able to delete a category for me please. I started one and then realised there is one that already exists which i can add to. This is the one i wish to delete
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Royal_Tour_1953-1954_of_New_Zealand_by_Queen_Elizabeth_II_and_Duke_of_Edinburgh_at_Archives_New_Zealand
as this already exisits and has all Archives NZ material in it already https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:1953-1954_royal_tour_of_New_Zealand_by_Queen_Elizabeth_II
Otherwise i think it may be over-categorizing to have both. I wasn't sure how to apply the speedy delete template on the page. Thanks MagicPie97 (talk) 01:23, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

@MagicPie97: Sorry, I can't, as I'm not an admin on Commons. I've turned this into a redirect, however. Redirects are cheap; no trouble leaving it there. Schwede66 04:32, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Michal, is there a tool available (or a bot) that can strip a category from all files in a category? The category "New Zealand" should be removed from all 500+ files. Schwede66 00:39, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

MitchellMatchbox, you received a Wikimedia Commons Welcome on 15 April 2021. It seems you have not followed the third link in that welcome message. Please do so now before you upload anything else. Schwede66 08:44, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

I have been given permission by the UoC to use its images MitchellMatchbox (talk) 08:43, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

MitchellMatchbox, well, that is excellent. You need to follow the process shown on this page. To clarify, now that the files are already uploaded, you need somebody high up in the organisation (who, by their role, can demonstrate that they have delegated authority to release copyrighted material) to send the email as per the template given. Schwede66 08:46, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Well I give up, I dont have permission. I however if you do delete the items, could you either get permission for them or replace them with images allowed. What I added to UoC page enhanced it. MitchellMatchbox (talk) 08:58, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

MitchellMatchbox, you can help yourself to anything that is already on Wikimedia Commons. I won't be deleting the images; a Commons administrator will do so. Getting one's work stymied is hugely disappointing but I suppose that is what those welcome messages are there for; pity you didn't read the advice. Schwede66 09:11, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

I don't think there's an issue with the link functionality. It's because that you're signing on your own talkpage so the link won't work. Try signing somewhere else. --Minoraxtalk 10:39, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Cropping images on Wikicommons

Hi there recently I cropped an image, reloaded it to commons and used it on a draft page - noting where it was from and that it was cropped. I now have a complicated message....It will most likely be deleted, but I was wondering what I could have done differently to get the cropped image legitimately?

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rob_Mckay.jpg

Realitylink (talk) 02:25, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Realitylink If an image is already on Commons, there's a much more straightforward way to do this that avoids any hassles. You can do the cropping within Commons, and that process copies licenses across, source, etc. Go to your preferences (top of the page), find the 'Gadgets' tab, check the 'CropTool' and hit save. That will show that tool in your left side bar as '⌗ CropTool'. When you are on an image page, click on that tool and then follow your nose. Set it so that it uploads the crop as a new image.

Hi, I'm not sure if you meant to remove the license from some of the images? Regards, Podzemnik (talk) 02:40, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

Oh I see what you're trying to do. Are you trying to remove the Category:Media from the Department of Conservation (New Zealand) from the files? That category is part of the template {{NZ-DOC}} so each image with this licence will pop in the mentioned category. It's just a technical category so we know how many files we have here from DOC etc. We can make it a hidden category if it bugs you. It's quite a common practice. --Podzemnik (talk) 02:44, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
Bother. Thanks for catching this, Podzemnik. I can't say that I ever looked at the template. What I did notice was that it placed the file into a category and given that the files are now all in a sub-category, I went ahead and removed this template. I shouldn't have. Having now looked at the template, the correct action is to tweak it so that it does not categorise the file. I'll go through my edit history to fix this. Schwede66 02:48, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
OK I've hidden the category so it's not visible now. It's quite useful, you can do automatic counting of the files, use it in various tools etc. See eg. Category:Media from YouTube or other similar categories at Category:Media by source. It follows the same principle that each file with a particular license is in a (hidden) generic category. Podzemnik (talk) 02:59, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
Ah, ok. The only trouble is that I've uploaded quite a number of DOC files without being aware of this template. Hence it's missing from "my files". Schwede66 03:03, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
That's fine, someone will change it hopefully soon or later :) These templates are great for all massive changes like eg. an updated link to Terms and Conditions etc. Podzemnik (talk) 03:50, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
I think I've now added the template to all DOC files that I've uploaded. Schwede66 04:17, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

Different topic: Podzemnik, did you see this request the other day? Schwede66 03:10, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

No, I haven't seen it. I can have a look later. Podzemnik (talk) 03:53, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
Well permission for these photos should be sent via COM:VRT. I know it's not very user friendly way, however this is the process here... Podzemnik (talk) 21:18, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

As per w:User talk:Crouch, Swale/New Zealand districts#Unitary authorities shouldn't this category be merged with Category:Nelson Region (or vice versa) along with the other unitary authorities? Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:06, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Crouch, Swale Yes, that could be done. Schwede66 10:11, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
Thanks, ✓ Done, in England there is Category:Shropshire (ceremonial county) and Category:Shropshire (district) which cover different areas but Category:Northumberland covers both the unitary district and ceremonial county as the boundaries are the same. Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:54, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Recent NZDF images

8 of the images you added that were of Low quality taken of the devastation causes by Gabrielle and didn't carry exif data are NOT free thus why i have not added them thus far.. all their images are non-commercial unless specified in the exif so i have been careful only adding those which are and 8 you added recently are not free.. I have spoken to them a few times and getting them to add liensing information to their exif as well and they mentioned their videos from which those images are from are non-commercial. They don't release all their images and video under a free licence... Stemoc 06:43, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Oh bother! Obviously, I did check before I helped myself and I found that they were using Crown copyright, and from that I assumed that they had joined NZGOAL. That said, I cannot find where I found the Crown copyright statement. Bugger. I'll get them nuked... Schwede66 06:54, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

No worries, i'm pissed too, sent them a few messages to atleast add copyright info to those Low quality images so that we could use it on wikipedia since the January floodings but they haven't replied in a few days though they have now started adding the licence on all their newer HQ images, that said a lot of the HQ images there are now good for use here but the really good ones depicting the disaster unfortunately aren't ..i remember getting them to fix this a year ago during the Tonga volcano eruption but it seems they have become lazy again lol..if you see a good HQ image, download and see if it carries "Crown Copyright 2023, New Zealand Defence Force. Licenced under Creative Commons BY 4.0" in their exif then we are good to go.. Stemoc 07:15, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
Bloody muppets. They run on our taxes and the very least they can do is make their work that our taxes pay for available in accordance with NZGOAL. Schwede66 07:21, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Einsortierung Naturschutzgebiete

Du hast die Kategorie Category:Naturschutzgebiet Eiberg aus der Kategorie des Landkreises in eine Kategorie für die Gemeinde verschoben. Wir haben allerdings in einem Projekt Commons:WikiProject protected areas/Germany im letzten Jahr beschlossen zur Vereinheitlichung der Kategorisierung Naturschutzgebiete nur bis auf die Ebene der Landkreise zu unterteilen, um Kategorien sinnvoller Größe zu erhalten. Wenn es doch eine Gemeindekategorie gibt, sollte diese nur ein Zusatz sein und nicht in die Landkreiskategorie einsortiert werden. GPSLeo (talk) 17:43, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Aha. Interessant, GPSLeo. Ich habe geguckt, ob es fuer diese Situation eine Vorlage auf Commons gibt. Habe aber nichts gefunden. Die Englische Wikipedia hat eine entspechende Vorlage: en:Template:Non-diffusing parent category. Dann weiss jeder, was Sache ist. Vielleicht sollten wir eine Vorlage erstellen. Ich bin wahrscheinlich nicht der Erste, der das nicht gewusst hat (und ich werde auch nicht der Letzte sein). Schwede66 02:44, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Background of photos

Hello, I have a question, and since you suggested one of my pictures to be deleted, I assume that you have experience and can explain it to me. I take photos of the some football organizations logos on the buildings and I was wondering if I can use the program to remove the background and then upload them? It looks much better without the background, that's why I ask. Vux33 (talk) 19:06, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

You need to let me know which country you are taking photos in, Vux33. Schwede66 19:45, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
Montenegro. -- Vux33 (talk) 19:46, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
Thanks, Vux33. The reason I was asking is because there are two separate issues at play here. The first of those is country-specific regarding freedom of panorama (FoP). Montenegro does not have FoP, meaning that you cannot take photos of architectural works. So if you want to show something that is part of a building, and the photo contains architecture, it cannot be uploaded to Commons. Removing the background, i.e. the copyrighted design, is required in Montenegro.
The second issue is the logo itself, as logos may be subject to copyright. It requires judgement and simple text logos don't have copyright, whilst some logos are under the protection of trademarks. This paragraph and its various links explain what you need to know. Unlike FoP, this is not straightforward at all. Schwede66 09:13, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
I hope you don't mind me asking more questions about this. I took a picture of the building of the Football Association of Montenegro in order to present it in the article, then I got closer and took a picture of the association's logo on that building. So if I made that picture, which is otherwise protected by copyright when searched on Google, I can upload it because it's my work, right? And I wouldn't remove the background. Is the Football Association building a work of architecture and can a photo be uploaded? Also, various pictures of temples and monasteries were previously set in commons, how does that not represent a work of architecture? Thanks. -- Vux33 (talk) 05:26, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
No, not at all, Vux33. The Football Association building would be a work of architecture and thus cannot be uploaded. Temples and monasteries may be ok if they are old enough as copyright sits with the architect but it does expire a few decades after the architect's death (I haven't looked up the term of expiry, but I assume you aren't interested in the number rather than the principle). And here's an example of a simple text logo that is simple enough that copyright does not apply. Schwede66 19:10, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
OK, I understend about buildings, but I saw that there are already logos of some football clubs from Montenegro, so I uploaded two that I took pictures of the association, just to see if they meet the criteria. If not, delete them. It's a little harder to connect it all when it's not as simple as taking a picture to be able to upload it. File:Logo udruženja klubova Centar, Crna Gora.jpg, File:Logo Fudbalskog saveza Crne Gore.jpg. Thanks for the explanation and patience. -- Vux33 (talk) 05:09, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
I don't really patrol Commons for license breaches. I deal with things as I come across them. There will be loads of photos on Commons that are incorrectly shown as having a free license. Category:Association football logos of Montenegro may all be beyond simple logos. Podzemnik, which Commons admins would be specifically interested in licensing? Schwede66 05:31, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
