== [[:File:Masahiko Kimura and Nori Bunasawa.jpg]] - A photo taken from my Camera ==

[[:File:Masahiko Kimura and Nori Bunasawa.jpg]] is a photo from my personal collection. It was taken using my camera and I am myself in this photo. I allowed it to be published in the novel I co-authored: The Toughest Man Alive. The link that the user -akko reported from the Russian website used my photo without my permission. Please advise me on the steps I should take to get this photo undeleted.

Files were deleted because of "no FoP for Israeli paintings". (Ref. Commons:Deletion requests/File:Ethiopian Abyssinian Church, Jerusalem 09.jpg). But one deleted photo of the same subject (probably) was successfully undeleted: Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2010-08#Request for undeletion File:EAC IMG 6549.JPG, applying the argument that the church is a public place and these paintings in the Israeli legal literature are integral part of it, as religious paintings. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 03:39, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Kameraad Pjotr and O: Can you comment what do you think of this inconsistency if you are still around? Ankry (talk) 20:26, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Weak support to have consistency in Wikimedia Commons admins' decisions. However, I still have doubts whether this painting is covered by ToO or not. Ankry (talk) 00:47, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It appears the undeleted file File:EAC IMG 6549.JPG is used in a userspace FoP essay, User:Pieter Kuiper/Freedom of Panorama in Israel. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 01:45, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Undeletion of Logos

OTRS agent (verify): request: Regarding

JuTa has deleted these files as "no permission" and "no license". A Wikipedia in Spanish user has claimed (and another users have supported) the undeletion since

  • "All the files were {{PD-textlogo}}, and fall under the TOO.
  • All these files survived a Deletion request as "Kept".

Please verify this information and undelet, if necessary. Thanks a lot. --Ganímedes (talk) 20:14, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Undeleted for discussion. Some images are CC-licensed, which is incorrect if they are PD-textlogo, most are declared to be {{Own}}, which would warrant them Out of scope status if correct (we do not host personally created logos). Also fixed ping to deleting admin. Ankry (talk) 17:53, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Noting that the mentioned DR was about scope, not about copyright, so irrelevant here. Ankry (talk) 13:06, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Some were in use when deletion, and they belongs to the National Television of Chile, so it's not "Own work" and they're perfectly in scope. Wrong license or wrong attribution are easy to solve; files don't need to be deleted if logos are PD-texlogo, and usefull. Thanks for undelete to re-evaluate the case. --Ganímedes (talk) 18:03, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Feel free to check images within the subcats Category:Media without a source and Category:Media missing permission and fix such cases before they get eligable for deletion. --JuTa 20:48, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I'll try. If other people (including yourself) can be involved in that before to delete the files, could be more effective. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 06:53, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Now, this, is something I don't understand. I've fixed the source and now added the right license. So, is there any other problem?? --Ganímedes (talk) 22:41, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I've corrected another license and I've reverted again. Can I proceed with the files or not? --Ganímedes (talk) 18:08, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ganímedes: FYI the files (temp) restored here still not fixed and are still wearing some problem tags. They will get up to speedy deletion again in a few days. --JuTa 09:45, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

PS: You need to add a valid source (not {{Own}}) and author as well. --JuTa 09:47, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@JuTa: when I' ve tried to fix them someone undo it (including yourself). Can I proceed Yes or Not? --Ganímedes (talk) 12:25, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ganímedes: Yes --JuTa 15:09, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ganímedes: I now removed the problem tags for those which are fixed OK. But there are still several which needs still a valid source and author. I marked the with - still not OK - above. --JuTa 21:35, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
JuJuTa: One more finished. I didn't find yesterday sources for the rest. Later I'll try to find them. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 01:11, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The poster only occupies a small portion of the image, can be removed/blurred without affecting the image much--137.189.204.121 06:29, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support For the sake of this discussion I have temporarily restored the image. I suggest blurring most of the poster leaving the red footer with the ΣΥΡΙΖΑ slogan visible. This allows a connection to the banner on the fence. De728631 (talk) 16:47, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - Whether the poster is included or not, this seems an unremarkable street/chain link fence and is neither used (although not entirely a fair consideration as it had been deleted) nor of particularly good quality. What is the expected educational utility of this image? Эlcobbola talk 20:35, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • "What is the expected educational utility of this image?" - presumably as an example of how en:Syriza or its supporters communicated at that time and place (even after blurring most of the content of the communication for copyright reasons). De728631 already mentioned that above. For my part, I'm merely guessing as someone who doesn't read Greek, though. whym (talk) 13:09, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deleted by Gbawden on 10 September 2019 as G7. Content was not G7 eligible (created 17 August 2017, not within 7 days) and deletion requests had already failed multiple times: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Nicholas Alahverdian and Andre Dubus III.jpg. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 12:39, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also all the following files which were deleted. Not sure if solely author requested is a valid rationale?

ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 12:46, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looking back File:Nicholas Alahverdian and Andre Dubus III.jpg shouldn't have been deleted. Not the best quality true but my error.
As for the other 2 - File:Nicholas_Alahverdian_and_Senator_Sheldon_Whitehouse.jpg is low quality with no exif and I suspected a copyvio although I didn't comment on that at the time. File:Nicholas Alahverdian photo.jpg was a terrible quality crop of another photo so there was no reason to keep it. The photo it was a crop of has since been deleted Gbawden (talk)
I have undeleted the first one. Others can decide on the others Gbawden (talk) 14:07, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
How do we decide if we can't see them? What pic was it a crop of? ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 01:52, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The files were deleted in 2015 as out of scope, following this discussion. An article for the subject was subsequently recreated on the English Wikipedia and has survived a deletion discussion. Cheers, Genericusername57 (talk) 18:28, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Around six (6) months ago I created this category as I noticed that some "privacy freaks" (not sure how otherwise to call these people, not meant as an insult) would put up signs that people that have COVID-19 apps weren't allowed in their houses, shops, buildings, Etc. I noticed that this category was deleted with the reason "This page does not exist. The deletion, protection, and move log for the page are provided below for reference. 09:15, 29 June 2020 Túrelio talk contribs deleted page Category:No COVID-19 apps signs in the Netherlands (CSD G1 (test page, accidental creation, or page containing nonsense or no valid content)) (thank)" and the files seemed to have been moved out of it into a less specific category. This tells me that these files aren't not educational (a double negative, I know), but also that these signs can't have their own category, why though? As it seems counterproductive to add them to a less specific category. Also, some of these notices seem to border on SARS-CoV-2 denialism so I wanted to create another category for those, but as this category was deleted I'm not sure if this should be created or if unspecific categories are preferred. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 20:42, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So far I have only found two such files in Category:COVID-19 pandemic related signs in the Netherlands, so it seems to be a rather small phenomenon that would not warrant a category of its own. If there are more anti-warning-app pictures from other countries though, we should create a common category for all of them. De728631 (talk) 23:43, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Grato pela atenção. Essa imagem pertence ao acervo da instituição Corrente da Paz Universal, criada por Luiz Goulart, da qual eu, Maximo Ribera, sou o diretor-presidente. Está publicada em nosso site correntedapaz.com, e como retemos os direitos de publicação do acervo, colocar essa e outras imagens do mesmo acervo em nossa página da Wikipedia não me parece violação de direitos autorais.

Files deleted by Sealle

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: Attention! These are files with OTRS permission, river uniforms and river transport. (There are also high-quality files of the winner of the competition Wiki loves ... For example, the wheelhouse of a motor ship.). Part of a large project Wikimedia RU Uniformology (ex: WMRU Annual Report 2019, p. 29). Please restore, as this is not an advertisement. Removal is like hidden vandalism. Captains in river transport uniforms were also used in the Vodokhod article. Niklitov (talk) 19:38, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Files deleted by Jcb, nominated by Sealle

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: Attention! These files are wrongly nominated for deletion by Sealle: 1. "Extremely low res images" = These are icons for Wikidata (Property pictograms). 2. Not "probably scaled down derivatives of ones found on the Web" — found on Commons, ex: File:1-02-БелОрел.pngFile:Order of White Eagle Badge both sides.jpg with {{PD-RU-exempt}} (type=orders, decorations and medals), etc. — Niklitov (talk) 20:37, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I created this book cover image from a painting that I commissioned specifically for this book cover. I also published the book.
The entire book, including the cover is considered 'Kopyleft,' meaning copyright free, or public domain, therefor I consider the image's inclusion on Wikimedia Commons/Wikipedia to be valid and legitimate.

Bonsoir,

Ce fichier est un fichier créé bénévolement pour et avec l'association Parlanjhe Asteur. Il est évidemment sur leur site internet (http://wp-parlanjhe.asteur.fr/index.php/2015/12/26/592/) avec d'autres cartes de vœux faites par moi-même, et sur le mien : https://lu-chapeu.jimdofree.com/gr-occitan-e-autres/peitavin-santong%C3%A9s-parlanjhe/.

Je suis graphiste, et défendeur des langues minoritaires, mes créations ont pour but de mettre la langue concernée en avant sur un support simple (carte de voeux, carte géographique...). Si certains de ces travaux sont sur Wikimedia Commons, c'est pour qu'elles soient accessible facilement, étant libres de droit.

Le poitevin-saintongeais est peu visible sur la toile, merci de restaurer ce fichier.

Bonne soirée.

(Above per original listing.) This work (which is from 1970, not 1895) does not have a copyright notice, and was not timely registered; it is therefore in the public domain in the U.S., where it was published (see PD-US-no notice). TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 15:04, 13 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]

I request this file to be undeleted.

  1. I took this photo of Rishab Jain. I have full rights of it.
  2. The "Facebook" page where the image was detected was created after I took this original photo. They are infringing on my copyright, not the other way around.

Thus, I own the rights to the image, and uploaded it. The Facebook page where the image was detected used the image that I took. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 50.39.96.24 (talk) 02:57, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's a painting by Scheiber from the 1930s. There is no date mark by the artist himself on the picture but the uploader wrote this in the description, so potentially from after 1926. De728631 (talk) 13:01, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Per Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Picturesque Nepal (1912), the country of origin is the United Kingdom, not the United States-- and if this is the case, undeletion may only occur in 2026. @TE(æ)A,ea.: Can you provide any evidence that this is not the case? --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 18:11, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • The publishing company’s colophon (from the document) indicates simultaneous publication in the U.S.; thus, such is the country of origin. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 18:49, 18 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]
      • While the work does note agents in the US and other countries, the copy available on IA only notes

        LONDON
        ADAM AND CHARLES BLACK
        1912

        @TE(æ)A,ea.: Could you provide us with a US copy to prove that it was simultaneously published in both countries? (Please note this DR in which the OP provided a link to a US copy to prove simultaneous publication). --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 22:51, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

        • The colophon would indicate that his office carried the works, which is sufficient for publication in the U.S. I do not need to, and could likely not easily, produce a copy printed in the U.S., but that does not mean that such work was not published in the U.S. (The standard at the time this book was printed was public display, with “tangible copies” availble for sale, which occurred.) TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 23:01, 18 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]
          •  Oppose What we need to know is the country of first publication. A colophon may indicate publication in the US at some time but it does not indicate when it happened. A remark like "London & New York" would indicate simultaneous publication in both countries, but this way it looks like the book was first published in the UK and later sold in the US by said agents. That would make it a UK work first of all and non-free for Commons. Apart from that it is in fact you who needs to produce "tangible evidence" since you would like to have these files undeleted. De728631 (talk) 12:52, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
            • That is incorrect. The U.S. is the country of first publication. Unless you have some stunning evidence which contradicts the claim that a publisher sold books at the offices listed in the book, then it was first published in the U.S. by law. According to Commons’ licensing policy, the work must be in the public domain under both U.S. law and the law of the country of origin; under U.S. law, this work was first published in the U.S., and is in the public domain. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 14:16, 19 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]
              • @TE(æ)A,ea.: De728631 is correct here. Per COM:EVID, the burden is on the party seeking or supporting undeletion. We will need concrete evidence here that there was indeed simultaneous publication -- the colophon here does not provide the requisite evidence needed for undeletion. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 12:34, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
                • Why is the colophon insufficient evidence? I would consider the colophon to be an extension of the location given on the title page. It is currently practice to list a number of (location) offices on either the title or copyright page, and this function is served similarly by the colophon. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 18:22, 20 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]
                  • If indeed they were simultaneously published, we would have found evidence of such. I took a gander around library catalogues, book search engines, online bookstores, and found no evidence. Compare this with the work Kate Greenaway where there is clear evidence of simultaneous publication:

                    New York: G. P. Putnum's Sons
                    London: Adam and Charles Black
                    1905

                    --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 21:18, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

                    • That work indicates a different circumstance; for that book, it was printed by two different publishers. As I have said, I claim the colophon to be evidence of simultaneous publication, so your reference to another work, which was also simultaneously published, is not relevant. The way a book indicates simultaneous publication, or the method by which simultaneous publication occurs, does not matter. Printing a book through two publishers, one of which is in the U.S., qualifies, as does selling (or offering to sell) a book through a publisher’s office in the U.S., even if the book is not printed in the U.S. TE(æ)A,ea.

  • NPS Calhoun is a U.S. government entity; if you have any reason to doubt that determination, mention it; but without a demonstrated pattern of copyright-license abuse generally, or a specific finding that the license applied to this work is incorrect specifically, I trust in the judgment given. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 00:30, 20 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]
    • I have assessed a lot of these mass uploads from the NPS library. They include works that were not even written at the NPS and where the author had no clear affiliation with the US Navy or military in general. The page in question where the Calhoun library mentions the US Government work seems to me more like a boilerplate template than a genuine copyright evaluation on their side. Per our precautionary principle we need to be wary in such cases rather than blindly trusting the authorities. De728631 (talk) 01:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • NPS Calhoun is a U.S. government entity; if you have any reason to doubt that determination, mention it; but without a demonstrated pattern of copyright-license abuse generally, or a specific finding that the license applied to this work is incorrect specifically, I trust in the judgment given. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 00:30, 20 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]
I have assessed a lot of these mass uploads from the NPS library. They include works that were not even written at the NPS and where the author had no clear affiliation with the US Navy or military in general. The page in question where the Calhoun library mentions the US Government work seems to me more like a boilerplate template than a genuine copyright evaluation on their side. Per our precautionary principle we need to be wary in such cases rather than blindly trusting the authorities.
      • The mark is not indiscriminately applied, at the very least; the institution generally eithers mentions valid copyright, does not mention copyright, or declares the work in the public domain, on account of it being a work of the U.S. government. This work was written at the NPS. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 02:14, 21 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]

ShakespeareFan00: What part of this has third-party copyright? The work, as far as I can see, is PD-USGov, and I don’t see any figures off-hand that are under third-party copyright. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 18:28, 19 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]

In the appendix there are 15 pages of computer code that is "Copyright (C) 1997 and 1998 WIDE Project." This seems a bit much for de minimis, so I don't think blanking these pages could save the PD document. De728631 (talk) 21:42, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I see this now. That text is certainly not acceptable. However, the appendix is only mentioned once, and does not appear to be an integral part of the work as a whole; as such, I believe the source code may be removed from an uploaded version of the document without substantial loss. I have not claimed that any copyright of third-party copyright claims could be dismissed by way of de minimis. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 00:30, 20 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]
No, you didn't mention de minimis but that would be the usual argument to keep such works. But since it won't work here, I brought this up. De728631 (talk) 01:42, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The work itself is PD-USGov, and may be read here. Starting on p. 51, there are a number of images, to which third-party copyright may apply. However, a number of them, or large portions of them, appear to have been manufactured by the author, and would therefore not be under copyright. Some discussion will be needed to fully determine what images will need to redacted, so that this work may be properly uploaded. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 18:38, 19 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]

This is PD-USGov, and clearly so marked on the first page of the document. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 18:44, 19 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Again, I wouldn't put too much weight into the assessment of the Calhoun library who added the US government remark. De728631 (talk) 21:48, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Anton Kolig died in 1950 so his copyright has expired in the EU. Abzeronow (talk) 00:59, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose There is still the question when the painting was first published, so we can determine its copyright status in the US. Also, although it may seem trivial, this is not a faithful scan of the original image but the title page of a copyrighted magazine. De728631 (talk) 01:22, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If the original work is the top right painting here https://www.leopoldmuseum.org/en/press/press-materials/928/Anton-Kolig or the top painting shown here https://worldofwonder.net/artdept-the-homoerotic-paintings-of-anton-kolig/, it's from 1923. But of course, the DW having its own copyright should be considered as well as you say. Thanks for the context though, the DR did not convey that the DW itself could be problematic.

Files received from "Nour House" via OTRS

Hi, requesting deletion of the following files. They have been deleted by various administrators, as "OTRS permission was not received" - however, appropriate release statements for all the files are available at Template:OTRS ticket. From my observation, several emails (and tickets) have been merged into one ticket, and thread has been closed after updating files from one email only. As a result, no one knew about others. I have checked the all the files, and will be able to add OTRS permission asap after undeletion.

This is a photograph of a photograph of my Great Grandfather, Towner K. Webster. It was probably taken around 1920. He died in 1922.

It has been in a family collection of photographs ever since. These are in my sole possession. No one else owns any rights to it. I chose to use it when I created an entry for him in Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towner_K._Webster

I thought I had given permission for its use under the creative commons license. Can you undelete it?
