This drawing has been handmade by User:Giov from a free interpretation of photo shot in the 30's (see the link that was provided on the page). TMO, this drawing was clearly not a copy of the picture (compare both : on one hand you've got a photo of an entire man in its atelier surrounded by his works, and the other hand only the face of him), which was solely used as a model, has been erroneously deleted on Sept 24th 2011 due to an excess of interpretation of copyright rules. I request the restoration of it. Thanks.--LPLT (talk) 16:44, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Photo is not out of copyright, the creator Rogi André died 1970. The link was not provided at the file description, you mean the link provided at fr:Discussion_utilisateur:LPLT/Archive_16#Illustration_pour_Julio_Gonz.C3.A1lez possibly (date 1936). I had a different link in the deletion request. A link that I found in similarity search because both pictures are the same. The drawing is a tracing of the photo and thats derivative work. If it is even a drawing and not just an image manipulation created with drawing style editing in photoshop or so. --Martin H. (talk) 17:12, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes for the link ; thx I was unable to re-find it. I think that there is « pure derivative » and « pseudo-derivative work ». The drawing was handmade according to Giov, not photoshop reworked, and the photo was used for model, the result being radically different, objectivelly if one compares. That's the reason why I strongly support this undeletion.--LPLT (talk) 19:40, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Works of Maurice Ravel[edit]

Hello,

According to this page, the works of Maurice Ravel are in the public domain in France, since the decision of the French Supreme Court in 2007 (Cour de cassation). I think these files were deleted following a wrong interpertation of French copyright law. This request includes the files listed below (and possibly more). Thanks, Yann (talk) 17:20, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Support - the French "Cour de Cassation" leaves no ambiguity : Ravel is in the PD in France. :) --Hsarrazin (talk) 17:27, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm... not entirely sure. The European directive and French law did say that existing terms were not reduced if they were already beyond 70pma; and the court did rule that that the EU directive could not be used to extend anything beyond 70 pma which previously was not. I guess the question then is what does "longer terms which started to run prior to July 1, 1995" mean -- terms where the date of the death of the author was known, or terms which were already beyond 70 years past death on that date? Musical compositions are a bit messy; those were extended from 50pma to 70pma effective January 1, 1986, by this law, and the wartime extensions were presumed valid on those -- so Ravel's terms would have seemed to be 70pma + wartime extensions. It does not seem as though that law was retroactive, but presumably it extended any existing copyrights, correct? (The transitional clauses of the law do not specify.) If so... the 70pma + wartime extensions term would seem to be valid for his works, unless somehow that longer term was deemed Also, any of his musical works published 1923 and later would still be copyrighted in the U.S., provided the 1986 law did extend existing copyrights. Carl Lindberg (talk) 16:07, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What the French CC means is "if the work was still in the 70 years period when the EU text was applied, then 70 is the maximum"... it is only if the work had already entered the "war prolongation period" in 1997 that they continue to apply... - in 1997, Ravel had been dead for "only" 60 years, so its work was in the "70 years period" - that is commonly accepted jurisprudence in France and Europe now, since the two 2007 decisions of the Cour de Cassation - i.e. Ravel was DP on 1/1/2008 ... --Hsarrazin (talk) 16:28, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think the Court of Cassation was merely repeating the language used in the French 1997 law which implemented the EU directive, which is here. That says (Article 16, part II): The provisions of Title II of this Law [which made most terms 70pma] may not have the effect of shortening the term of protection of copyright and neighboring rights that started to run prior to July 1, 1995. That in turn mostly repeated language contained in the 1993 EU directive (Article 10, part 1): Where a term of protection, which is longer than the corresponding term provided for by this Directive, is already running in a Member State on the date referred to in Article 13 (1) [July 1, 1995], this Directive shall not have the effect of shortening that term of protection in that Member State. So you are saying that, even though Ravel's estate expected to have a copyright term of roughly 78 1/3 pma for his works on July 1, 1995, that term was shortened by the 1997 act because 1995 was less than 70 years after he died? By that rationale, even Spain's 80pma terms would have been reduced for any authors who died later than July 1, 1925. Carl Lindberg (talk) 18:42, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What I say is, in France, the "normal" protection was 50 years, then 70 years, and that the "war prolongation" (which was an "exception", not linked to the author but to the works date of creation or edition) only started to run "after" the normal term... and what the Cassation said is that, if that "prolongation" has started to run, it continues, but if not, it was intended to be "merged" in the 70 years protection issued from the EU directive :) - it was applied to Monet, and to others... And Ravel is one of them :) - this exception has now disappeared, because "the intention of the legislator was to "unify" legislations, not to maintain a French exception ... --Hsarrazin (talk) 20:10, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Very interesting, thanks. Does that mean the note at w:The_Internationale#Original lyrics and copyright is incorrect then? That expired in 2003 in France? Good to know. I guess that wouldn't affect Spain's 80pma terms then, by that logic. And the wartime extensions on musical compositions may still have effect for U.S. URAA restorations, though since the 1986 law was not retroactive, then the terms were effectively 60pma + wartime extensions on the URAA date, which in practice would be close to 70pma for most works. Thanks ;-) Carl Lindberg (talk) 22:30, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
However, I think any of Ravel's works from 1923 and later would have been restored in the U.S. So I'm not sure they should all be undeleted. Carl Lindberg (talk) 22:41, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, URAA is a different issue, of which the result is very much undecided. I think the URAA issue should not influence this discussion. Yann (talk) 07:27, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If they are restored then, all post-1922 works should have the {{Not-PD-US-URAA}} tag added. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:04, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, OK with that. Yann (talk) 15:56, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
So, what is the conclusion? I am going to restore these if there is no opposition. Yann (talk) 17:49, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think you should restore the files from your own undeletion request; let someone else deal with it. Prof. Professorson (talk) 18:06, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was quite concerned when I realized that the image I uploaded was deleted, I have the permission from both, the artist and Wikimedia Commons (OTRS), I have suffered several times from this, and all the times I have to explain it. My mistake was writing the © in the title, but I can fix it erasing the © but not the archive, additionally, the following related files were deleted. If you can see the files are the same (just in Spanish, English and French), I hope there can be considered my situation and re-located soon because two related pages are without images: File:FAHRENHEITºEN©.jpg File:FAHRENHEITº©.jpg File:LINEADETIEMPO©.jpg Thank you in advance. --Fahrenheitº (talk) 21:51, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There has been nothing received at OTRS regarding these images. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 22:01, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]


There were not deleted only 1 but 4 images (3 of them are almost equal, they change just a little, the words are in Spanish, English and French). My question is for the all of them, at least for: FAHRENHEITº©.jpg, FAHRENHEITºEN©.jpg, FAHRENHEITºFR©.jpg. I uploaded the first of them: FAHRENHEITº.jpg, on September and I did the request of OTRS then, I supposed that I had not to do the request again because the image was the same. At that time I received from "Permissions - en español " <permissions-es@wikimedia.org> the Ticket#2011082210010751 Permiso de reproducción Then there is not reason to have lost the 3 archives (and now to have lost my other 2 questions), if I have to do request for each image (although they are just equal(, I prefer just having one, but I want to recover the file FAHRENHEITº©.jpg, I hope you can orientate me how to fix it: 1. Requesting each permission. THIS IS ALSO A DOUBT: DO I HAVE TO REQUEST PERMISSION EACH TIME THAT I UPLOAD IMAGES? 2. Just preserving the Spanish version IN ANY CASE I NEED TO RECOVER THE ORIGINAL FILE. Hoping to hear from you soon Best, --Fahrenheitº (talk) 00:27, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, we got the Ticket and permissions at 2011082210010751, but it was only for the text for an article at the Spanish Wikipedia. There was no OTRS email for the permissions of images, and we must have a similar email for permissions for the images. What I have seen done is a person gets permission for four images initially, then if more images are added then just resend an email to add accepted images. We can do image redirects too. If you can send an email to OTRS about the images, we can take care of it from there. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 17:48, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'm understanding now. I have this question, do I have to upload the images again and immediately after sending the request for permission to OTRS? When I received that mail I assumed it was about the image and I also assumed that I didn't need to do the request again? It was not a sort of slyness, it was maybe a misunderstanding. If I have to upload the images again, I would like to advise you that I will delete the © because it was my mistake at the very beginning but I never found the tool to fix texts. I hope you can orientate me and I will proceed just as it has to be. Best. --Fahrenheitº (talk) 03:21, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You won't need to re-upload. Nothing has been removed from the server, it's just been suppressed from public view. Once the OTRS is sorted out, it can be made visible again. - Jmabel ! talk 08:00, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is also probably necessary for the photographer (or whoever the copyright owner is) to send the permission directly to Commons via the procedures documented at COM:OTRS. You could forward any correspondence you have to that address, but it's definitely better to get the mail directly from the copyright owners if possible. Note as part of that, the photographer must choose their license (only the copyright owner can license a work). Carl Lindberg (talk) 16:16, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graffitis[edit]

Hello,

Please undelete the following files. I think that {{Non-free graffiti}} applies to them. Thanks, Yann (talk) 15:39, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Illegal graffitis? I doubt. --Martin H. (talk) 23:59, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
How do you define Illegal graffitis? How could the artist claim a copyright here? I don't see the differences with File:Bullet Kiss.jpg, File:Black Lady.jpg, or File:0027 - Milano - Graffiti - Foto Giovanni Dall'Orto 22-Aug-2005.jpg. Yann (talk) 17:46, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The main issue with the DR's is that, question the motives of why it was started all you want, but there is an FOP issue. We know people are not going to claim work because if they do, they would get a new cellmate named Bubba. Plus many go under tag names and I am not sure how the Commons treats pseudonymous works like this. I have no opinion either way. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 20:32, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I started this request because of this file: File:Graffiti-IMG 5792.jpg, which is not even anonymous, because it is signed. And I was told here that Commons does not care about the artist's copyright, because it is a graffiti. Yann (talk) 15:45, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oof, not sure about that one. Does that really show its public context? I guess illegal really means if painted on someone else's property without permission -- hard to tell from that image. And per some of the previous discussions, the legal justification is probably stronger in common law countries than civil law, but not sure. There is a {{Non-free graffiti}} tag which some images use; probably should have that at the *very* least. Carl Lindberg (talk) 16:34, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Plus, in some areas, there are walls or places where people can graffiti without fear of law enforcement. Just a lot of unknowns with this one. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 21:31, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
See also this page where someone sent a cease and desist letter to a Commons photographer. The deletion request nevertheless ended in keep, although the closing admin might not have seen the blog post. The blog post has a good point: due to prescription, you can't be fined for graffiti you made 20 years ago, but copyright still applies. But as stated at COM:PRP, "the copyright owner will not bother to sue or cannot afford to". --Stefan4 (talk) 00:40, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The closer said that free licenses are irrevocable and you cannot change your mind in 5 years and revoke the free license. Though I wonder if the uploader and photographer are the same for that image. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 00:54, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The issue in that case is not the photographing task (which was done by the same person as the uploader according to the blog). The issue is that fr:Société des auteurs dans les arts graphiques et plastiques sent a cease and desist letter on behalf of the graffiti artist (who is a different person). --Stefan4 (talk) 13:16, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting. What's even more interesting is that this blogger speaks about a prescription ([le graffiti] a été réalisé il y a vingt-six ans et tombe donc sous le coup d’une prescription.) Anyone knows what is this presciption about? Because the graffitis of my photos are at least 15 years old. See also Jastrow's blog on this issue. Yann (talk) 13:46, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If you paint graffiti on someone else's wall, you commit a crime, and you may be fined if you are caught, so you need to keep your identity secret. For that reason, it is unwise for a graffiti artist to sue a photographer for copyright infringements, since it would require the graffiti artist (Miss Tic) to reveal her identity, making it possible for the wall owner to sue her. However, the act of vandalism is subject to prescription, so if the artist painted the graffiti on the wall a long time ago, the wall owner can no longer sue her, making it possible to sue a photographer for infringing copyrights. --Stefan4 (talk) 15:35, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. So we can keep a graffiti if it is recent, but we need to delete it after the prescription applies... and then we can undelete it after the copyright expires. I cannot even list the new problems that would create. Yann (talk) 17:19, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
My head hurts from trying to figure out. With the issues that Stefan4 brought up, I am not so sure if these are even restorable. Thoughts? User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 17:24, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think that it may be necessary to revise the graffiti policy, but this should probably be at a more visible location. --Stefan4 (talk) 21:00, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, so your guess is to hold off on the restoration until our policy is fixed? User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 21:14, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that was what I meant: postpone the decision of this request until after a policy discussion. --Stefan4 (talk) 22:42, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:Basile_1966rac.jpg was deleted although the picture was taken in 1966, so more than 20 years have passed according to Public Domain Law in Argentina [2]; Art. 34 states that "For photographs, the length of copyright will be twenty (20) years since the photo was published for the first time" (translated from Spanish), not specifying whether photo consist on a cover magazine or other publication format (poster, newspaper cover, et cetera).

Administrator who deleted the file (User:Jameslwoodward) stated that "This is not a photograph, it is a magazine cover. Only photographs have the shorter term"... but in this case, the cover magazine does consist of a photo, so his argument is unclear for me.

So if this file remains deleted, most of the images contained in Category:El Grafico should be deleted too... In fact, I uploaded a lot of El Grafico covers apart from Basile's, so all of them are going to be deleted?.... Thanks in advance Fma12 (talk) 19:45, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to say  Oppose restoration. According to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing#Argentina this is not a strict photograph. Sure a photograph is a basis for a magazine cover, but it has to be the main photo itself for it to be public domain. This work would be public domain in 2017. On a side note, while this photo is deleted, there are others we cannot catch immediately. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 19:59, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see the cover, so can't directly comment -- but a photo placed on a cover is still a photo. If this was a drawing made from the photo, or other artistic enhancements were made, then I'd agree. I'm not sure the placement of the magazine title really would count as an enhancement... though if anyone knows of any court cases or clarifications from Argentina, that'd be appreciated. Most of the covers in that category look OK to me at first blush. Carl Lindberg (talk) 20:19, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This is the cover deleted, as seen of El Grafico magazine website: [3]. The reasons for what it was eliminated are still unclear for me. Fma12 (talk) 20:48, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I think I'd  Support undeletion on that. While I have no specific idea about if Argentina considers that a photograph, I would still have to consider that a photograph more than any other type of work. Argentina doesn't seem to have the "simple photo" vs "photographic works" distinction -- it reads as though the term is the later of 25 years from creation, or 20 years from publication, regardless. I don't really see anything about the cover which changes that, to me. Note that the lines would be created before 1971, and published before 1976, in order for its U.S. copyright to not have been restored by the URAA. But this seems fine there as well.

According to Commons:Deletion requests/File:Borisovo (Moscow Metro) 2 dec 2011.jpg, I request for undeletion since the closing admin Jameslwoodward seems to have ignored keep arguments and failed to make clear what makes the object depicted in the file a work above the architectural threshold of originality. Besides, the starter of the request completely failed to make clear in which way in her opinion "the architects think different" since the cited user page contains no further opinions on this particular object (rather than on Moscow Metro objects which actually have an individual level of architectural work). - A.Savin 17:09, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Do not undelete. A.Savin clearly fails to distinct concrete blocks from architectural design. Artem Karimov (talk) 17:25, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think, yur opinion on this topic is not surprising and your ad personam argumentation indeed not really helpful. A.Savin 17:52, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
But what can I say if you fail to see an obvious difference? Artem Karimov (talk) 20:46, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps, you should take a look at wikt:obvious before. What is "obvious" to you is not necessarily same for someone else. A.Savin 20:58, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please read my introductory comment in the UnDR above. With it understood that I see no basis for any originality test for architecture in Russia, I will grant that this case is less obvious that the one above. We have a plain white (or perhaps gray) arched ceiling, with elliptical cutouts around complex lighting fixtures. Because the ceiling is curved in section, the elliptical cutouts form an interesting curve in three dimensions. The lighting fixtures, undoubtedly specified by the architect, consist of large (~2 metre diameter) glass cylinders centered on the foci of the ellipse closer to the center of the platform. The cylinders contain smaller cylinders which, in turn, contain lamps. So, while less complex than the one in the UnDR above, this ceiling is still a very complex and interesting design. In this case, the side walls behind the tracks are also arced rather than flat, with a different radius and center than the ceiling, and have a very unusual surface finish which contrasts with the ceiling and adds to the overall striking effect of the space.      Jim . . . .

Was the file released under an acceptable free license? Did you send permission to OTRS? Regarding its use on Wikipedia, be aware that editors usually don't take too kindly to subjects that want to take control over the content of the article about them; so even if the image is undeleted on Commons, there's no guarantee it will be used instead of another one. Prof. Professorson (talk) 12:06, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The fan photos was chosen because they taken and released under an acceptable free license. For the Wikipedia policies on biographies, if a person is living and still acting, having a copyrighted photo used over a free one cannot happen. So if you follow the steps at OTRS and give us a license to use, then we can restore it. However, as Prof. Professorson stated, the photo could be restored but it is up to the editors to decide on which photograph to use (but many will chose a professional photo over a fan photo 90% of the time).

This file was wrongly deleted. The copyright statement cited does not apply to the New Horizons project. The correct statement is here: New Horizons is a NASA mission and adheres to the space agency's guidelines for image use and reproduction. The latter guideline states that NASA images are not copyrighted. Ruslik (talk) 11:01, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I do not understand the comment above, which cites exactly the same copyright statement that I cited in closing the DR. It reads:
"New Horizons images on this website are generally available for non-commercial educational and public information purposes, so long as their use does not convey NASA's, the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory's or Southwest Research Institute's implicit or explicit endorsement of any goods or services. No fee or written permission is required for their use, but please credit images to NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Southwest Research Institute (unless otherwise noted in the image caption)." [emphasis added]
Since it prohibits commercial use, it is clearly unacceptable here, as I also said in the closing comment.
It goes on to say, as quoted above,
"New Horizons is a NASA mission and adheres to the space agency's guidelines for image use and reproduction."
That does not mean that this image is a NASA image and therefore PD. The NASA guidelines are that NASA images are PD, but that images from other organizations which NASA may use are not PD and those copyrights must be respected.
In addition, the rules of construction require us to honor the specific statement made in the local copyright statement before anything which might be contradictory in the referenced statement. So, even if the NASA policy did contradict the Johns Hopkins statement (which it doesn't), we would be forced to honor the Johns Hopkins policy.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 13:26, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What you are saying is just silly. The page has clear title: Image Use Policy. Its purpose is to set conditions under which the images can be used, not to state that APL itself follows them in their own image use. And you have failed to provide any evidence that images can not be used for commercial purposes. Ruslik (talk) 14:38, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"New Horizons images on this website are generally available for non-commercial educational..." seems pretty clearly a prohibition on commercial use to me.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 15:04, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done It is a NASA mission, not a component of the agency itself. Many organizations are working with this mission so their images are not public domain and are non-commercial use only. Plus, it says at this page that "NASA material is not protected by copyright unless noted. If copyrighted, permission should be obtained from the copyright owner prior to use." and it was noted that this image, along with other works from that website, are protected by copyright. So, no restoration. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 15:38, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This file was wrongly deleted. It is a logo for the non-profit organization "Southeast Asian Service Leadership Network" also known as "SEALNet, Inc." I am the creator of this image and a board member of SEALNet. This logo should be licensed under "PD-TEXTLOGO." If this description is not sufficient, please let me know the appropriate license type and information needed to approve undeletion. Dancgreer (talk) 16:56, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Not sure if it is simple enough for {{PD-textlogo}}. It would be better that you send a permission. See COM:OTRS for details. Yann (talk) 17:14, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It is certainly far too complex to be PD-TEXTLOGO and, therefore, will require a license. I see that there is a Daniel C. Greer on the organization's Board, so it seems likely that this is OK from a copyright POV. However, since we do not know that User:Dancgreer is in fact the person on the Board, we will require a license from sealnetonline.org using the procedure at Commons:OTRS.
There is also the question of whether this image is in scope. I note that it is not in use on sealnetonline.org, so I question if it is actually in use as a logo, or simply a private creation of Mr. Greer.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 17:18, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The triangle logo is indeed used on the site (it is also the favicon of the website) and elements of this logo is used on the official Twitter of the organization (specifically the map).

TO WHOMSOEVER IT MAY BE CONCERNED

Earlier I had uploaded a file in the name of File:Krantfacebook.jpg which was deleted with the reason "The copyright stands with the face book". Later I saw another file on Wikicommons it was probably taken from Hindi wikimedia and it was freely licenced. I uploaded this file but it was again deleted. I dont know why? If the administration of wikicommons does not want any user to upload any file then why should I or any other user should waste his valuable time. So far as I think this file must be sincerely reviewed by the administrative staff and it should be KEPT or UNDELETED. With humble regards.----Awadhesh.Pandey (talk) 04:39, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We want users to upload files they created entirely themself. Or users upload files that the copyright holder voluntarily published under a free license. We not want people to take images from random websites such as facebook and upload them here with untrue claims that the file was published under {{GFDL}} or other such licenses that the copyright holder never agreed too. --Martin H. (talk) 05:48, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I also checked his Facebook and it is this photo that is used for his personal profile. At best, it is going to be a user photo for one project and that is it.

According to Commons:Deletion requests/File:Shipilovskaya (Moscow Metro) 2 dec 2011.jpg, I request for undeletion since the closing admin Jameslwoodward seems to have ignored keep arguments and failed to make clear what makes the object depicted in the file a work above the architectural threshold of originality. Besides, the starter of the request completely failed to make clear in which way in her opinion "the architects think different" since the cited user page contains no further opinions on this particular object (rather than on Moscow Metro objects which actually have an individual level of architectural work). - A.Savin 17:05, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Do not undelete. A.Savin clearly fails to distinct concrete blocks from architectural design. Artem Karimov (talk) 17:24, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I commented on only one of the two Moscow DRs, since my reaction to the two is identical. As far as I know, there is no case law on the level of originality required for an architectural copyright in Russia, therefore, I applied my general knowledge of the subject, which begins in the USA, where all architecture is copyrighted, even the most basic and simple. Therefore, I see no basis on which any building in Russia can be claimed to be too simple or unoriginal for copyright. That is, applying any originality test in Russia for architecture has no basis in statute or case law.
With that said, however, I think this subway platform would pass the originality test even in difficult places such as France. I see in this image a very complicated and interesting ceiling design, with wide diagonal rectangular section arches supporting an arched ceiling. The space between the arches is filled with a drop ceiling of beadboard, with a reveal all around. This may be one of the most original and interesting subway platforms I have ever seen, and, as you will see at User:Jameslwoodward/Travels, I have seen many.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 21:12, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It seems, as already mentioned in both DR's, rather a product of technical design which is no artwork. Also, it is inacceptable that a user whose main purpose while making the DR's is wikihounding against certain users from RU.WP, has a platform for this behavior here and "trusted" admins who satisfy every DR she starts. There were two topics about it on COM:ANU recently, but it seems not to interest any admin here. Perhaps, you should have read this in detail before feeding multiply blocked trolls from Russian WP? A.Savin 21:33, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This is trolling and disruptive behaviour. And you stray off the topic. Artem Karimov (talk) 22:28, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think, everyone who will look at your WP block log will realize who is rather trolling here. And of course I may take your behavior in Russian WP into account to analyze your real motivation doing deletion requests. One year ago, you were even an opponent of FOP deletions, now you slander and threaten users who have an opinion in this issue which is other than "all Russian architecture that is not PD must be deleted". Additionally, it looks like the Russian user Florstein whose files you nominated for deletion as well, had formerly some conflicts with you in the Russian WP. Now, don't tell me that it's random that your DR concerns just Florstein whereas there are some hundreds of thousands images on Commons which may be nominated for deletion for the same reason. This has nothing to do with following civil codes or project policies, this is pure wikihounding. - A.Savin 00:06, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And this again has nothing to do with licensing issues and policy. Are you trying to wiki-stalk me or what? By the way, considering the problems of ru.wp adminship someone's block log from there means nothing. Artem Karimov (talk) 08:44, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Wikipedia

I am writing on behalf of Curtis Lovell II a wikipedia page about him and I am getting text and photos from him, with his permission. This picture is his property and I have gotten permission to use it. Both the copyright e-mail addresses to ask questions don't seem to be working. How can I add photos that are his property and he is allowing me to use in the wikipedia page???

Previous discussion at:

It seems to have been not undeleted as it would be part of a lightshow. AFAIK, it's just a reproduction of static lighting acceptable per Category:Eiffel Tower at night. --  Docu  at 12:48, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Except the judge's ruling seemed to indicate that even the static lighting display constituted a "work of the mind". There is a discussion on Category talk:Eiffel Tower at night which followed your earlier one. Carl Lindberg (talk) 17:41, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I hadn't seen that, but there was a similar discussion there before. The problem with your extrapolation is that it could apply to most night views of France .. --  Docu  at 18:18, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The judge's ruling was cour d'appel a souverainement retenu que la composition de jeux de lumière destinés à révéler et à souligner les lignes et les formes du monument constituait une "création visuelle" originale, et, partant, une oeuvre de l'esprit. That does not sound specific to the light show, unfortunately, and the previous discussion really didn't touch on that aspect. It sounds to me like the complicated lighting job they do, choosing which parts of the structure to emphasize and not, constituted a copyrightable work in France at least in that case. No, I don't like the ruling, and no I would not extrapolate it to someone sticking up some floodlights, but... it's the ruling. And the judge was ruling on the specific lighting on the Eiffel tower itself, so it's not much of an extrapolation -- the ruling involved the exact work in question -- unless I'm misreading the ruling (having to go through translators). Carl Lindberg (talk) 05:09, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think it does and so seems to think the author of the description at Category:Eiffel Tower at night. --  Docu  at 08:25, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That was a recent edit, and the discussion which led to it focused on the court's description of the photographs in question, and not on the actual conclusion in the ruling, as described in the second part of the discussion on the talk page. I don't see any further discussion as to why the general conclusion in the court case would not apply to the normal nighttime lighting setup. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:08, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's not appropriate to close the review of your own closure yourself. You haven't even bothered to comment on the arguments brought up. --  Docu  at 18:30, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I said before it was a copyright violation; Clindberg already had stated such. There were several other reviews of similar images and we have court cases that state as such. Until that court decision is reversed, there is nothing we can do at all. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 18:34, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Let me repeat it:
  • It's not appropriate to close the review of your own closure yourself.
  • You haven't even bothered to comment on the arguments brought up.
In addition: If you write "we have court cases that state as such", can you provide links to these "court cases". It appears that you might not even understand the issue at hand. --  Docu  at 18:38, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The court cases linked on the category page. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 18:45, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The last deletion request was closed with the following comment : We do not take sides. The problem is that this map does not represent the point of view of any "side" even the most extremist Ottomanist irredentists do not display such a biased cartography. So even for historiographical matters, this map is inaccurate. Nobody ever claims that Tamanrasset, Addis Ababa or Oman. Therefore, if someone knows why this map is useful here on Commons, please tell me.--Kimdime (talk) 17:01, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are looking for http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests. This only deals with images that have been deleted and need to be restored. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 17:12, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict)This is the place for Undeletion Requests. You may open a new Deletion Request on the subject map, but this is not the place to discuss the merits of that.
Obviously the creator thinks the map is useful. Therefore he or she is the other "side" of the argument. In many discussions of the accuracy of territorial maps, both sides believe that the other side's arguments are ridiculous, so the argument you make is one we have all heard many times over many different maps. Often it is impossible to decide which side is correct -- we are not experts on the subject -- which is why we have a firm rule that we do not take sides in such discussions and will not delete maps such as this one.
Aside from that policy, I note that the map is in use in three places. We never delete files that are in use on other WMF projects.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 17:14, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To Jameslwoodward. I see your point. Could you give me a link indicating the possible rationals for deletions? That would help me. Thanks for your time.--Kimdime (talk) 17:21, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
To start a new DR, go to the page you want to nominate and click on "Nominate for deletion" in the left margin, and enter a reason. That will do all of the work for you. Note, however, that if you do that on this map without a new good reason (a copyright violation, or something similar), it will probably be a speedy close, for the reasons I gave above. And, no, I can't give you a link, because the only reason we delete in-use images is copyvio, which is obviously not the case here.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 17:49, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was hoping to use this image on a page I am preparing on a new subject for inclusion on Wikipedia. It has, however, been deleted from my Sandbox because no licence was stated. I have been to Google via the Google Earth website, answered a series of questions and, if I have understood their instructions correctly, am allowed to use the image as long as I display the attribution in an approved form. However, I would not know which licence to choose from the Wikipedia list (Attribution 2.5 or 3.0?). I would appreciate advice on this and, if it is judged a legitimate procedure, would like the file to be reinstated.

Here are the instructions from the automated Googel page after answering their questions:

Unless mentioned in your results, Google does not need to provide you explicit permission to move forward with your project and no contact with Google is necessary so long as you follow the requirements mentioned.

•Attribute Google (e.g. © 2011 Google) •Make attribution readable to the average reader or viewer (e.g. avoid micro-sized letters) •For screenshots, the Google or or Google Maps logo is not required but attribution must always be present.

The image was created in order to illustrate the WP article British Israelism. A few months later, it was removed from the article, with the edit comment "Removed photoshopped image: completely contrived and uniformative, not encyclopedic." I didn't notice the edit, and recently it was deleted from Commons. Administrator James I Woodward, who deleted the image here, argues that it is personal artwork and, hence, out of scope on both WP and Commons. In my opinion, it is a good illustration of the article and improves it. I want to contest the removal of the image from the WP article, and request that it is undeleted temporarily, so that I will be given the opportunity to argue for it on the WP talk page and editors involved with the article can voice their opinion as to its usefulness. --Jonund (talk) 19:58, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - Commons:Deletion requests/File:British Israelism.jpg is not about any copyright concerns but the same image is used at http://silenced.co/tag/british-israelism/ /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 20:18, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am going to  Oppose on a few grounds. First, more related to the Commons, the license is wrong and we cannot host it here under it. One of the images it was derived from, File:London-lion.jpg, is licensed under a Creative Commons license. You can make PD into Creative Commons, but not the other way around. In this case, the deleted image is PD while File:London-lion.jpg is under Creative Commons-Attribution. The upload here was first in 2009; the post pointed out by Pieter was done in July and August of this year. So while it is not a copyright violation from that blogpost, the license must be changed if the image is restored by this discussion. Second, it is a juxtaposition of various images. For those who cannot see the image; it is a lion with a Union Flag backdrop with a Bible quote (Isiah 24:15) in Hebrew. This is not an historic image and was specifically designed to decorate the article, which was removed in March of 2010. Now if it was a user image that was used in a userbox for their own personal purposes, I see no issues with it. Yet, it was specifically designed for an article and, using our policies on COM:SCOPE as a guide, the users do not want this photoshopped image in the article and was never reintroduced since March 2010. I don't see how having it on the Commons would benefit us or any other project since it was more of a user creation to make an article have some kind of image. Now if we find something historic relating to this, then by all means lets use it. But this, no. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 20:21, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I think. We don't have an automatic ban on self-made art, as far as I know. Lots of icons would fall under that. We don't want to be an online repository of someone's art they are just trying to showcase, but creations like this to represent a subject I think are fine. It's the kind of thing a TV news station would use as a background to indicate a particular topic, maybe a book cover for some related topic, or projects could use as an icon for some British-in-Palestine-related stuff . Maybe Wikinews could use it, or Wikibooks, or a WikiProject, or things like that. I'm not sure it's a good idea on the Wikipedia article, since there is no real significance to the image itself from the sounds of it -- I would tend to agree that it is not encyclopedic. However, Wikimedia has many non-encyclopedia projects, and even Wikipedia has some potential uses outside of actual articles. This type of thing is in scope, I think. The licensing issue mentioned by Zscout370 should be addressed, but is not a reason for deletion. A CC-BY license does *not* bind derivative works to use the same license (CC-BY-SA does), so the author of the remaining work can license the rest how they want. However, the attribution section needs to mention that the lion portion is *not* PD, but rather CC-BY, and it must mention the author of the original. The same would go for the author of the flag image, which is also CC-BY. Those two original authors need to be attributed on the image page, and the uploader as well (if they wish, which I assume they would, even if PD). This is a situation where removal from Wikipedia should not result in deletion from Commons, I don't think. Carl Lindberg (talk) 06:43, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I think it's fit for the WP article. Images make articles nicer and more attractive and readable. Not least the lead section is served by an image, and it should be something that covers the subject and not merely a small aspect of it, like one of the people mentioned in the article. It's custom to use images that are not directly informative in any strict sense, but captures the subject. For instance, Present, Past, Future, Humanities or Pleasure have illustrations that make us none the wiser. WP policy says that anything that improves WP is accepted, so if the article is better with the image, it should be there. But this is, I think, something the WP editors should be given opportunity to decide about. The removal went unnoticed; if the attention of many editors are drawn to the image, we will know their opinions. As for the licensing, I'd be happy to license it under whatever license which is appropriate. --Jonund (talk) 13:06, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose, as stated in the original deletion nomination, this image was created for soapboxing, and Commons is not a web hosting site for self-published political banner designs. Such designs do not magically become educational by arguing that “it could be used to illustrate a Wikipedia article on X”, where X happens to be a subject such as British Israelism, Mandate Palestine,the Lion of Judah or The Bible. Jonund is free to upload this file at Wikipedia under fair use rationale in any case, but I will bet it will be rejected for soapboxing there as well. --Gavin Collins (talk) 17:41, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment As I said, I have no sympaties for British Israelism. Apparently, you think I'm a liar. I find such an accusation outrageous, and however you assess the value of the image, you should be able to see that it can be used for other purposes than soapboxing. I'm not able to upload the image to WP, since I deleted it after I uploaded it to Commons. But maybe an administrator can hand the image over to me? --Jonund (talk) 12:27, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment In fairness to me, I am not accusing of anything; I am merely commenting on the strong political sentiment which the image projects. Lets be honest with each other, and agree that when this image was created, it was intended to arouse political sentiment of some sort, for where I come from, the combination of the Union Jack and the Southbank Lion would interpreted as symbols of nationalism. If we also consider the file British lion and Union flag.jpg, we can see that you have created this file at an earlier date for use with the userbox BritishNationalism. Lets be clear, I am not making a personal accusation, I am merely commenting on the content of the image and the purpose to which such an image could be put, which in these two cases could only be soapboxing. I have put the other file up for deletion on the same grounds: Commons is not a hosting site for soapboxing, regardless of whether it is for or against a particular cause. --Gavin Collins (talk) 16:16, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I have explained that my sole purpose for creating the image was to illustrate the article British Israelism, which is about a subject I found exotic and entertaining, and I have no sympaties for British Israelism. Yet you persist in claiming that it was created for soapboxing. I fail to see how I could have been soapboxing without lying when I explained my motives. Now, I'm also expected to admit that "it was intended to arouse political sentiment of some sort" in order to be regarded as honest. I never had such intentions, however. I have no connection to Britain nor to its empire. To a foreigner, the combination of the Union Jack and the Southbank Lion is a national - not a nationalist - symbol. Until now, I thought that you were accusing me of religious, rather than political, soapboxing. British lion and Union flag.jpg was an earlier version intended for the British Israelism article. The userbox wasn't created by me, but by Mender one and a half year after I uploaded the image to Commons. I assume good faith, but you seem to have difficulties listening to others. That is manifest in your inability to see that there are other possible uses than soapboxing. As you have been banned from WP (a significant part of the reason being your zeal to delete articles without sufficient reason), I think you should seriously reconsider your attitudes. --Jonund (talk) 17:51, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Your intentions may be good, but clearly we will have to agree to disagree on the purpose to which this image could be put. I suggest you put your money where your mouth is (so to speak), by uploading the image into Wikipedia under its existing licence, and embed it in an article there. If you succeed, your arguements that it is educational will be vindicated, and mine will have been shown to be mistaken. --Gavin Collins (talk) 12:07, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is already proven that the file is "realistically useful for an educational purpose", in this case, illustrating w:British Israelism. If Wikipedia will prefer to use another image instead this would not change the potential usefulness of this file. --M5 (talk) 09:17, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support "We don't keep personal art here" rationale in Commons:Deletion requests/File:British Israelism.jpg is wrong, we keep a lot of composite art in Category:Montages including political, see examples above. Allegations of "political soapboxig" should not be discussed here per COM:NPOV. File can realistically be used for illustrating British Israelism article (which proved by its past and current usage) which is enough to keep it per COM:SCOPE regardless of its future usage in Wikipedias. --M5 (talk) 09:17, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I have no interest in the article nor the illustration, but I don't see any reason to delete this image. I also note that it appears to have been restored to the wn:wp article as a local upload, and has been tagged by a bot as a suggested move to Commons. --Tony Wills (talk) 01:48, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Restauración de dos fotos propias[edit]

Los archivos anteriores fueron subidos por el usuario Miguel Iglesias, músico y dueño de sus derechos, en el artículo Preciados (Grupo musical y han sido borrados por falta de fuentes. Pues bien, ambas fotografías forman parte del archivo propio del grupo y fueron realizadas por Leticia Díaz con motivo de la publicación de su disco. Rogamos, por esta razón, la restauración de ambas.

Hi there,

I am about to submit an entry involving a musician, and my photo was just deleted.

I can speak for the photo myself, because I took it back in 2006 during an interview with the artist. It is my property.

Thanks very much,

This page is for requesting the undeletion of files that have been deleted, so this is off topic, but here we are. Until now neither of these files had been deleted. I deleted the first because we do not keep two copies of the same image in different sizes. Wiki markup makes it easy to set an image in whatever size the editor chooses, so it is not necessary to keep smaller versions.
The remaining image falls into one of two places, Either
  • it is, as you say, your own creation and is, therefore, personal artwork that is out-of-scope because it has no reasonable educational use, or
  • it is the logo of an organization which you have copied without permission, and therefore cannot be kept without permission. This would apply even if you has actually created the logo since you would have transferred the copyright after completion.
So, unless you can show that it is the logo of an organization that has an article in one of the Wikipedias and that the organization has given permission using the procedure at Commons:OTRS, then it will be deleted.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 12:53, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You claimed that you were the photographer:
source = own work

but we found the image at http://www.morocco-travel.com/morocco/FacingAfrica/ where it has a copyright notice. In order to restore the image here we will need a license from the copyright owner using the procedure at Commons:OTRS.
As for this question:
"and why the wikipedia commons would not let me appload any more pictures?"
you have not been blocked. Some of your images have been deleted for the same reason as the one above. You are free to upload more images, but in every case you must pay attention to copyright.
Are you actually the photographer of File:Progression of noma6.jpg? If not, you must follow the OTRS procedure for it and any like it also.

This is an undelete request for the picture 'Logo-swissinternationalhotels.png'. The picture was uploaded incorrect and therefore has been removed. The picture has been copied from the official website of the company and is used in the article to identify the the organization Swiss International Hotels & Resorts, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article. The persmission to upload this picture to wikipedia has been received from Swiss International Hotels & Resorts.

Please advise for my future work with commons how this picture should have been marked in order to be uploaded correctly.

Hello, Can File:Wanless.jpg be undeleted, please? The file was originally uploaded to en.wikipedia on October 2, 2010. It is used in the article William James Wanless on en.wikipedia. A copy of the file was uploaded to Commons by a bot on February 17, 2012. It was deleted from Commons on February 18, 2012. The deletion comment was "Uploader requested deletion of unused file". Of course, technically, the en.wikipedia article still uses the local en.wikipedia file until that local file gets deleted there because it duplicates the Commons file. When the en.wikipedia file gets deleted, the article will use the Commons file if it exists. The description page of the en.wikipedia file has a "now on Commons" tag saying that the file is now supposed to be on Commons and that, for that reason, the local en.wikipedia copy can be deleted. If the en.wikipedia file gets deleted there because the file is supposed to be on Commons, but if at the other end the Commons file has been deleted because technically the Commons file was not used before the en.wikipedia file got deleted, then it will be an absurd situation where the file will not be available at all. Anyway, even if that file was unused on a Wikimedia project, that would not seem to be a reason to delete it from Commons, as it has a potential educational interest. It can also be noted that this file shows a larger portion of the original photograph and that another file on Commons, File:Sir Wanless.jpg, is a cropped and retouched version of the same original photograph. That would seem another reason to keep the file, which is closer to the original. Thanks in advance. -- Asclepias (talk) 05:04, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, the image source was released by the Department of Tourism (Philippines) in Region III and it is a government agency of the Philippines.
According to the Philippine Copyright law, Section 176: No copyright shall subsist in any work of the Government of the Philippines.
I believe that the copyright laws of other countries also applies to Wikipedia and Commons. --War1addict (talk) 10:10, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"176.1. No copyright shall subsist in any work of the Government of the Philippines. However, prior approval of the government agency or office wherein the work is created shall be necessary for exploitation of such work for profit." We cannot host their works because it is non-commercial in nature and works must be available for commercial reuse. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 15:47, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That seems incredibly self-contradictory. If no copyright subsists, how can they set conditions on reuse? - Jmabel ! talk 16:29, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I really wish I had an answer for that, but that is part of their copyright code and it makes no sense to me. We currently have PD-PhilippinesGov redirect to non-commercial. I have been dealing with this issue for several years and it still hasn't became clearer in those years. I honestly feel it is about time we really need to set this issue straight by asking the WMF legal counsel. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 17:02, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting. {{PD-PhilippineGov}} is not a redirect, and was kept per Commons:Deletion requests/Template:PD-PhilippineGov. Best we could tell, the other restriction is a non-copyright restriction, with a special right created by that section of the law. It would apply inside the Philippines, of course. Carl Lindberg (talk) 17:36, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Because http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:PD-PhilippinesGov&redirect=no redirects to the non-commercial template. Though, if the work is non-free inside the source country, then how can we include such images on the Commons or are we making an exception for this case? User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 17:51, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Because they may be Commons:Non-copyright restrictions? The "free" vs "not free" part of that is difficult, to be sure. The non-commercial restrictions do not exist for "statutes, rules and regulations, and speeches, lectures, sermons, addresses, and dissertations, pronounced, read or rendered in courts of justice, before administrative agencies, in deliberative assemblies and in meetings of public character", at least per the letter of the law, so the tags should exist at least for those items. Note that the template I linked is different than the one you link -- no "s". So, that is a template which is in use. Carl Lindberg (talk) 18:00, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I went ahead and merged the templates so it will read with the "S" (but still not redirect to the non-commercial template). I agree that "statutes, rules and regulations, and speeches, lectures, sermons, addresses, and dissertations, pronounced, read or rendered in courts of justice, before administrative agencies, in deliberative assemblies and in meetings of public character" is public domain and has no issues about that. It is the photographs and other works with the non-commercial clause I am still confused over. It reminds me a lot of the New Horizon images I am dealing with now is that even though it is a NASA mission and project, a non-commercial copyright claim was made (I know it is a different issue, but still the same problems). User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 18:18, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's definitely confusing. I'm sure it's confused some of their judges as well ;-) It seems, technically, to be an additional right that the government gave themselves. It was added by Marcos in the early 1970s, so he may not have really cared about the legal niceties, but it's still in the law today (they had previously inherited the U.S. lack of copyright on government works). Whether that moves it to being "non-free"... that is yet another discussion, and more of a Commons or WMF policy thing. I don't think it is enforceable via international copyright, though I suppose the Philippine government could still attempt to make a foreign copyright claim despite the lack of their own copyright (as the U.S. has occasionally claimed the same right, though I'm not sure they've actually ever tried, and it's dubious particularly in countries which have the rule of the shorter term). Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:13, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, going back to the main point, is there a website you can site from the DOT about this image? Until we know that for sure, I do not trust other wikis when it comes to saying where images come from. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 06:35, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The shield is made by Troels Ottesen, chairman of the Farum Cats Australian Football Club and is used by him and myself on several websites, such as http://farumcats.dk. As I am the webmaster and board member of Farum Cats, I believe that I know when and where the club logo can be used. The likeliness of the shield to the shield of the Geelong Football Club is due to the two clubs strategic agreement of 2002, where the Farum Lions became the Farum Cats, as described here: http://www.dafl.dk/main/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=37&Itemid=17 .

OTRS 2012022710008041 (for those who are able to deal with it today). User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 15:26, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Template:OTRS ticket is a CC-BY-SA-3.0 release, however these are apparently press releases and can still be argued as out of scope for Commons. I suggest undeletion and then there can be a sensible discussion about how to migrate the content if necessary. -- (talk) 18:49, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Greenpeace images[edit]

I rang Greenpeace and they said that their images can be used for Wikipedia. Their Copyright rules are very clear. How dare someone delete images from Greenpeace based on a bogus copyright agreement which does not even exist!! I am very upset that these images have been deleted for no reason. They are Greenpeace1.jpg and Greenpeace2.jpg. Please restore them and the pages that they were used on. I don't want a debate about this. There is no debate. Thank you.

By the way, Greenpeace will write officially to Wikipedia and inform Wikipedia that can use all Greenpeace images. So I do not expect this sort of treatment again against Greenpeace or me. Wallie (talk) 15:53, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Our copyright rules are also very clear. Permission for Wikipedia only ({{Wikipediaonly}}) is not sufficient for a file to be hosted on Wikimedia Commons. Commons only accept content that can be used in modified or unmodified form by anyone for any purpose, including commercial purposes. That is not permitted by Greenpeace's terms. So indeed, not much to debate. LX (talk, contribs) 16:13, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
