- These images, and all but two of your other uploads, have been deleted because they appear on the Web with copyrights. Your uploads are relatively small sizes (720x510px and 800x531px). Both of these facts suggest that they are not, in fact, your own work. If they are your work, please upload them at higher resolutions, which is the easiest way of proving that they are yours.

I am not sure why this file was deleted, most likely it was due to a miss during the transfer to Commons. Even a temporary restoration would be useful, as my goal is simply to find enough original information to restore it properly. I believe that Kobac incorrectly and with undue haste listed this (and many many others) for deletion and would like to remedy it. Best, Mr.choppers (talk) 05:10, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

This picture that I uploaded was deleted because "Image is likely not own work, but a screenshot/capture from TV and thereby a copyvio." I didn't know that one user's intuition was enough to have an image deleted. The user in question provided absolutely no proof to his claim in the nomination and yet an admin went ahead and deleted it anyway. For the record, I took the picture with a cell phone, albeit a crappy one. I rarely go on Commons otherwise I would have replied to the discussion at the time. TonyStarks (talk) 07:34, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
- So you just happened to be on the field with your cell phone at the ready at the time this athlete was giving an interview? It looks an awful lot like a TV screenshot. If you were able to provide the full image from which this appears to have been cropped, that would help your case. Powers (talk) 00:24, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
- Plus I notice a black line at the bottom of the image, so it looks like if it did not come off of a TV set, it came off of youtube or another video sharing site. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 04:09, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I'm requesting an undeletion of the above file photo. I recontacted the photographer, Sumner Walters, who took the photo and had him send in his permission to Wikipedia/WikiCommons about a week ago. Here is his email reply to me for your information. I really want to have that photo back on the Wikipedia page for "Nitya Chaitanya Yati." I went through a lot of trouble and time learning how to upload a photo to the article and thought I had given an adequate declaration of its source. I look forward to your reply and seeing the photo up on the article. Thanks. PeterMoras (talk) 18:56, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Please undelete the first version of this file.

Thanks. Lymantria (talk) 10:13, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Non US ISAFmedia files[edit]

# File:Gedenkfeier.jpg
The rights surrendered through a CC liscence can't be clawed back. When I first encountered the ISAFmedia images on flickr they were all marked "all rights reserved" -- even those taken by DoD employees. I wrote to them, and the license was changed to a free liscense, for all their images. They probably should have selectively changed the liscense for US images, and left the rest alone. I tried to be careful to only upload US images from ISAFmedia -- but I may have made some mistakes. Even so, I think the flickrreview should meant none of these images were eligible for summary deletion. The deleting administrator didn't leave any heads-up of these deletions, which I also consider a mistake. Geo Swan (talk) 05:20, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

* This field contains the soldier military force's country. When the photo is taken by an ISAF PAO member, ISAF is used instead of the country. ** According the EXIF tags, which are very well documented for military pictures. --Dereckson (talk) 17:39, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
- Added Flickr URLs. For some images see the courtesy notes at flickr. For the special ** case of the norwegian photo: The ISAF file on flickr got a very strange title: "4463622495_b337e4f91d_b". That title comes for a very simple reason: ISAF uploaded a file to flickr that they before downloaded from someone else flickr. See http://www.flickr.com/photos/prtmeymaneh/4463622495/. Thats a cc-by source too, ISAF however is unable to fulfill the so simple license requirement of attribution. --Martin H. (talk) 15:47, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you.
- The EXIG tags contain some relevant information: Lars Kroken as artist, Forsvaret (=armed forces) as copyright holder. The Flickr account is from the Provincial Reconstruction Team Meymaneh, which isn't the copyright holder (it's the Norvegian armed forces according EXIF tags). I'm updating the table. --Dereckson (talk) 16:02, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello dear Wikimedia, the copyright status of the published files : "Dinner oconne.jpg" and "Panspermia-III" is alright. This two files and some others are absolutely free for changing, modifying, distributing, copying, self-benefiting and so on, except changing the name of theirs author and creator or missing reference to him. The author and creator of these two files is Poullo Oconne. His manager Mirra Vais has rights to posses and distribute these files on way she consider to be good for her client Poullo Oconne. That's why she became a source of the files. INFOCENTER only technically upload this files in WIKIPEDIA with Mirra Vais permissions. In FLICKR the copyright status of this files is clearly pointed.

appears to be a CD cover, with a copyrighted image.- As far as I understand, you're Morito Suzuki, the artist designed this cover?

File was uploaded on 2/13/2012. All boxes were filled-in to Share.
After about a week, I asked Help Desk: How long after an Image is uploaded, should it take to appear in my article or had I done something wrong? Image appeared approx. two days later, so I thought everything was okay.
About a week later, the Image disappeared, leaving the File name in red, with the copy still present below where the Image had been. I asked a friendly Reviewing Editor and discovered that a Permission email should have also been sent. I sent a Permission email right-away to Permissions-commons on 2/24/2012. A day later, I returned to the SpiderGraph chart article to see if the Image had been restored and learned that an eager Reviewing Editor had deleted the Image all together, not even giving the process enough time to work in reinstating the Image 0002a.
Consequently, I'm requesting that the main Image "Hpqscan0002a" of the SpiderGraph chart article be undeleted, which would complete the "before" Image Hpqscan0002 and now the "after" Image Hpqscan0002a series.
Respectfully submitted, GregLChest (talk) 01:13, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

This is a photo that I took of a newspaper that is 78 years old. There are many examples of similar photos of old newspapers on Wikimedia e.g. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Buffalo_courier_express_nazi_surrender.jpg Chris Bainbridge (talk) 01:07, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Der_St%C3%BCrmer_Christian_blood.jpg my photo was being used on 13 Wikipedia articles. Bit annoying that it was deleted, can someone undo please and restore the Wikipedia links? I am very sceptical that a newspaper will be covered by copyright 78 years after being published. Chris Bainbridge (talk) 01:16, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
- Your skepticism does not make you correct. If this was a European newspaper, this gets the same life+70 everything else gets, with possible exceptions for photographs in certain countries. US newspapers are different; in theory newspapers published after 1922 could be copyrighted, but the US required filing and renewal, which most newspapers didn't bother with.--Prosfilaes (talk) 01:44, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
- Well if my photo was a copyright violation, then so are all of the pages at Category:Der_Sturmer and similar. There are many more similar in category Newspapers, for example this
- What about this German newspaper image: 2010-03-20-mauer-berlin-by-RalfR-08.jpg, it says:

- "It is believed that the taking, uploading and reuse of this derivative work is permitted under the copyright law of the country in which the photograph was taken, possibly with some restrictions, because the subject was permanently located in a public place. In Germany, this exception is known as Panoramafreiheit; many other countries have similar exceptions which are referred to on Commons by the generic term "freedom of panorama"."
- If that is correct, that newspaper images on public display in Germany are covered by Panoramafreiheit, then please restore my photo. It is on permanent display at the Jewish Museum in Berlin. Chris Bainbridge (talk) 10:15, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
- The Jewish Museum in Berlin charges admission, and is therefore not a public place as defined by German freedom of panorama law: see Commons:Freedom of panorama#Germany. —LX (talk, contribs) 10:57, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
- OK, so then all of the Der Sturmer Category photos are copyright violations? I believe it would certainly qualify as fair use (the photo I took is of a front page regarded as one of the most notorious examples of Der Sturmer) so I will upload it to Wikipedia. Can you provide the description text that went along with the image? I no longer have a copy - the only copy was on Wikimedia. It would have been better to notify me before deleting the image. Chris Bainbridge (talk) 11:29, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
- (also, where can I access the wikimedia meta data of the image, or was that deleted too? I think I included in the image description a copy of the English text at the Jewish Museum that went along with the newspaper, but I no longer have a copy) Chris Bainbridge (talk) 10:20, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
Metadata Can someone please respond to the above? All I want is a copy of the metadata so that I can move the image to Wikipedia, if this requires a temporary restore of the image then can you do that? It really is poor that I was not notified beforehand that this image was going to be deleted, since it resulted in the image being automatically removed from the 13 Wikipedia articles that it was being used in.

- I have restored the file. You uploaded the file without a license. A bot added {{No permission since}}. When you added the CC license tag on February 28, you should have removed the {{No permission since}} tag.
- Even with that mistake on your part, the file should not have been deleted. Admins work very fast -- we do 1,300 deletions per day -- and sometimes they will not see that a problem has been fixed if the problem tag is still there. Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 12:08, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Dear Martin H.
Here by I confirm that the images are belonging to my self Baris Dilaver. I request for not deleting them please!
Sincerely, Baris Dilaver — Preceding unsigned comment added by Artists of the World (talk • contribs) 21:33, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
- We need this confirmed; please send it to the email listed at COM:OTRS. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 21:37, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
- Note, all images below request the same thing, from same author, with same reasoning. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 21:55, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Same request, thats correct. Same author added to the file description is also correct, but we have to add: all file description contain wrong author information and wrong sources ("own work"). And the argumentation above is unlikely true: Having a photo of yourself does not mean that you own the copyrights. If a photographer gave you a photo this not means that you can distribute the photo or give others the permission to distribute it. Possibly the photographer allows you to use it for your personal purposes or for your marketing on your website, but thats all. Here on Commons you granted anyone in the world the permission to reuse the photo for any purpose including commercial purposes as long as you are credited. --Martin H. (talk) 22:20, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
- The emails that he gave in the removed duplicate requests are indeed the same ones I found at http://www.barisdilaver.com/baris-dilaver/contact.html Plus many of the images he wants restored are also work for hires (like the Swarovski one). User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 22:30, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
- Unlikely File:Baris Dilaver Modeling for Swarovski Crystal.jpg is a work for hire created under contract for Baris Dilaver... Also for all Austrian works: Not work for hires, Austrian law only knows copyright transfer by bequest. For example File:Baris Dilaver in Romeo and Juliet Vienna State Opera.jpg contains a clear watermark, the given author and source information is bogus. Now claiming copyright transfer or ownership of copyrights (done at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Baris Dilaver in Romeo and Juliet Vienna State Opera.jpg) is either abuse or complete ignorance of intelectual property rights. --Martin H. (talk) 22:50, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
- I am not sure, but I honestly feel that we do not have anything on OTRS, there is nothing we can confirm. Plus, some of the information being given by this "Artist of the World" account is giving strange or just random emails (I might need to have some edits oversighted for phone numbers published here).

The undeletion discussion in the following section is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive.
The file was discussed on Commons:Deletion requests/File:Pozor, úchyl.jpg. There was a controversy whether the photographed text is a "literární dílo" (literary work) in sense of the Czech Copyright Act. I argued that not every written work can be considered as a literary work (work of literature) and I brought several Czech and English-language sources which document this interpretation.
Mattbuck claimed "I have to agree, I would think this is copyrightable" but he brought no argument.
Mormegil challenged the obvious primary purpose of the text, speculating about hypothetical secondary or hidden purpose of this text and challenged the common, usual definition of the term "literary work". He also insinuated his opinion that the legal specifying of copyrighted forms of works is not specifying but only classification - despite the clear wording of the act which defines subjects of copyright. However, he brought no real argument that the depicted notice really is a literary work and not a practical warning as it appears to be.
Rosenzweig deleted the file and his crucial arguments were some his unspecified and unfounded belief, Mormegil's baseless fantasies and translation of the Czech act made by Google Translate - instead of serious and proved interpretation of the Czech legal term "literární dílo" and application of the definition to the depicted text.
I'm convinced, the file was deleted rashly and groundlessly and the core question - what is and what isn't "literary work" - have to be deelade more seriously. If the lawmaker would say "written work" and not "literary work", he could make so - but he didn't make so. --ŠJů (talk) 17:30, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think this is any different then most any other copyright law, where literary work is interpreted broadly. The Berne Convention says "The expression “literary and artistic works” shall include every production in the literary, scientific and artistic domain, whatever may be the mode or form of its expression, such as books, pamphlets and other writings; lectures, addresses, sermons and other works of the same nature;" and says "(4) It shall be a matter for legislation in the countries of the Union to determine the protection to be granted to official texts of a legislative, administrative and legal nature, and to official translations of such texts.", from which I infer that "official texts of a legislative, administrative and legal nature" are considered "literary and artistic works" under Berne. Unless you can refer to specific case law, I see no reason not to interpret Czech law as covering this.--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:18, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
- I can't speak to the Czech law (and clearly ŠJů can), but in US law this poster would clearly have a copyright as a "literary work". The US law defines "literary work" at 17USC101:
- "Literary works” are works, other than audiovisual works, expressed in words, numbers, or other verbal or numerical symbols or indicia, regardless of the nature of the material objects, such as books, periodicals, manuscripts, phonorecords, film, tapes, disks, or cards, in which they are embodied."
- We tend to think of "literary" and "literature" as Shakespeare or Dickens, but both the OED and Merriam-Webster have, as one definition, "any printed matter" and "printed matter (as leaflets or circulars)". This poster falls squarely into that.
- Although copyright laws do vary from country to country -- our jobs would be much easier if they did not -- I have a tendency to think that if the Czech lawmakers intended to use "literary" in a more restrictive way than that in most of the rest of the world of copyright, that they would have made a very careful distinction. Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 15:04, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, and even object code of a computer program is a "literary work." And Czech legislators simply can't redefine the word -- it depends on international agreements Czech Republic participate in, such as Berne Convention and TRIPS. --Trycatch (talk) 15:17, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
- And the EU copyright directive. The English translation of the Czech copyright law defines a work as the "unique outcome of the creative activity of the author and are expressed in any objectively perceivable manner including electronic form, permanent or temporary, irrespective of their scope, purpose or significance" (article 2). It looks like that definition, rather than the usual language meanings, which would apply to all uses of the word "work", since that is its explicit definition for the scope of the copyright law text. Does the Czech original have pretty much the same sense? I can't see the image, so I'm not sure how much text it is, but if more than a sentence or so, there is usually some copyright protection. On the other hand... if this is a photo showing it in its intended public location... I often find those deletions a bit harder. Particularly as it would seem the Czech freedom of panorama is pretty liberal -- did not mention the need for permanence until 2006 (only to conform with the EU directive), and seems to allow it for 2-D works (rather only prohibits 3-D reproductions). It is valid for any work "located on a square, in a street, in a park, on a public route or in any other public place" -- does the subject of the photo qualify for that? If the people who originally put it up did not intend to take it down, that may be "permanent" as well. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:45, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

- I can't speak to the Czech law (and clearly ŠJů can), but in US law this poster would clearly have a copyright as a "literary work". The US law defines "literary work" at 17USC101:
- Carl Lindberg, you cited: Czech copyright law defines a work as the "unique outcome of the creative activity of the author and are expressed in any objectively perceivable manner. But you (intentionally?) concealed the first part of this definition: Předmětem práva autorského je dílo literární a jiné dílo umělecké a dílo vědecké, které je jedinečným výsledkem tvůrčí činnosti autora a je vyjádřeno v jakékoli objektivně vnímatelné podobě včetně podoby elektronické, trvale nebo dočasně, bez ohledu na jeho rozsah, účel nebo význam (dále jen "dílo"). I. e. "The subject of the copyright is a literary work or any other work of art or a scientific work which is a unique outcome (etc.)." Also the Bern convention speaks clearly about "literary works" as "production in the literary domain" of whatever mode, not about avery written or printed text.
- Copyright it limited to artistic and scientific works. The basic and common meaning of the words "literární dílo" is "work of literature". The next words of the act, "other work of art", confirm that the specification "literární" is used in the common meaning, as a type of art.
- I can add any case history. Central Bohemian Region issued in 2005 a large printed book (1432 pages) of the public transport timetables in the region. I made a complaint that this book is not registered under ISBN and obligatory copies are not archived in appropriate libraries. The CB Regional Office, the National Library (as the registration authority) and the Ministry of Culture and Ministry of Transport asserted to me that this book doesn't come under the Nonperiodical Publication Act because it is not a literary work (nor scientific one). I think, a practical warning notice has not more of literary qualities or aspirations than this book. --ŠJů (talk) 14:50, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
- Btw., we can also discuss whether a record of a static watch camera or a simple photo without creative and artistic aspiration should be considered as subject of copyright. If we would be consistent, every cultural landsape and its elements (an ordinary field, a forest, a road, a simple wall etc.) would by protected as works of landscape architecture. Isn't it absurd? --ŠJů (talk) 14:50, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
- The words "permanently located" are quite uclear and vague. Nothing on this world is absolutely permanent. Some available interpretations are rather unfounded desires or very imperfect surmises than real interpretations of the law. I agree that your application is one of many possible ones but I think, some copyright fundamentalists from here prefer the most restrictive interpretation rather than the most restrained in such cases. --ŠJů (talk) 15:07, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
Done If you want to make it simple, it is PD text because it is just plain computer rendered text someone composed on a word processor and printed it out. There is nothing really creative about this. The original deletion request was also flawed in my view; the user cited NOPENIS which makes no sense since that "policy" is regarding the images of penii that are constantly uploaded on the Commons. This is just a poster saying "Hey streaker, we are watching you" and this can serve as a media for outing such persons. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 07:25, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

- As for "abruptly deleted", Commons Admins delete about 1,300 files every day. Policy says that copyright violations, which this certainly was, must be deleted on sight. If you upload images from sources that say "All Rights Reserved", this is exactly what you should expect. If you do it more than once or twice, you should also expect to be warned and then blocked. Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 11:58, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
- There is a discussion at the talk page of Sreejithk2000 and he suggested for the Flickr user to change the license there directly due to current practices of not accepting Flickr mail. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 06:26, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
- But what totally confounds me is that we have no way of knowing your little rules about items previously published on Flickr. The particular item concerned was not uploaded from Flickr. The licence on it was put there by the owner of the image - the same person who put them on Flickr. He also wrote to OTRS and would have told me if he had a reply.
- I realize administration is enough of a nuisance already - my central complaint is that there is NO warning at all that all our puzzled messages will be ignored - which is what seems to have happened. Including "the proper licence" which must have been received at OTRS days before the action complained of. So its been lost? What do we need to do next? What if the donor wishes to retain the "All Rights Reserved" licence on Flickr (goes with his other photos) but is of course obliged to (and content to) provide a very open licence to Wikimedia Commons? Upload blocked? Eddaido (talk) 07:36, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Let us please have a discussion in only one place. It wastes our time and yours to have discussions here, on my talk page, and on Sreejith's talk page. Please continue here and nowhere else.
It is too bad that OTRS does not have more volunteers, but currently the backlog is running more than a month. Cases are taken in the order received.
As I explained at my talk page before I realized we had three discussions going, the OTRS message from the photographer grants no license at all.
This: "But what totally confounds me is that we have no way of knowing your little rules about items previously published on Flickr." is not helpful.
Yes, we have "[our] little rules", but it should be fairly obvious that an image that is available on Flickr only as "All Rights Reserved" is not going to be acceptable here without further action. We get hundreds of Flickr images with unacceptable licenses every day. We have no way of knowing that a particular Commons user is also the Flickr user, even if they have the same username. We frequently get people who log onto Commons with a Flickr username in order to attempt to upload an image here. We much prefer to have the license changed at Flickr -- it is simpler, it saves confusions, it minimizes the risk that we are being defrauded, and there is little or no point in continuing an ARR on Flickr while granting CC-BY here. Indeed, it may be a variant of copyfraud -- claiming one status when in fact another is correct.
Also, I note that the page that ZScout cited above is linked out of Commons:FAQ, which is in the first sentence of the Welcome on your talk page.
This would be a better place if we could give personal attention to every deletion, but that is completely impossible. About 8,000 new images are uploaded to Commons and about 1,300 images are deleted each and every day. Half a dozen unpaid volunteer Admins do half of those deletions and the backlog is currently increasing. If you don't like the delays at OTRS or the backlog here, then join us, but please don't fight us.

- Hi Jim, I was aware of the delays with OTRS. My infantile-style yells for attention were brought on by the deletion. My switch to your talk page because a busy editor might miss my new insertion above. First message was to talk page of deleting editor. Second on this page after I found it at the end of a long browse.
- Donor forwarded me your nice message to him and thank you for that. Still feel there should be somewhere some warning of the official dislike for images published elsewhere under different licences. Thanks for my attention, regards, Eddaido (talk) 23:02, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for that. Politeness will get you much farther here than yells for attention. While it is true that some of us occasionally miss additions to UnDelRs in which we are involved, the best thing would have been, after a reasonable delay, to put a brief note on my talk page (and perhaps Sreejith's as well) that the discussion was continuing here. Reminders are fine -- what I objected to was opening a second discussion.
- There are many things which can lead a new editor into trouble. The FAQ covers many of them, including (under a link) this one. I cannot in honesty say that you, as a new editor, should have read the whole FAQ and all its links, but I don't know how to offer you only the help that you will need and the next editor only the different help that he will need. If you have suggestions on improving Commons documentation or access to help, please make them -- it's very hard for old hands to figure out what needs improving.
- I think this question is now in the hands of the photographer. I'll be away from my desk much of tomorrow -- the OTRS ticket is #2012030810011071 if one of my colleagues wants to check it, otherwise I'll check on Saturday, latest.

Please undelete the following pictures:File:UrnEst_(imaste)_Corinne_Whitaker.jpg File:Metastasis_Corinne_Whitaker.jpg File:Ogre_Corinne_Whitaker.jpg File:CaughtFlatfooted_Corinne_Whitaker.jpg These pictures were added to the deletion list because of a missing license tag which was added later by me. It seems that even after I added the right license tag, the deletion bot didn't check it. You can read the whole issue in here: Commons:Village_pump/Copyright#License_problem_.3F. In short, the pictures were added to the deletion list, I fixed the problem in all of them, and only one picture wasn't removed. Thank you for your support, Guy.e (talk) 10:05, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

I'd like to request again that this file be undeleted, because I would like the chance to change the copyright tag on the file to the correct one. I tried to upload this image of the book cover several times. the first couple of times was from the website of the publisher of the book. However, due to my lack of understanding of how to credit the rights to the images, it was removed. Then with this image, I scanned and uploaded my own image from my copy of the book, which I had gotten written permission to do from the author and the publisher, to be used on Wikipedia, and I put it as my own work. I now know that the copyright should be under {{Attribution}}, so as long as I am crediting the creator of the image, I can use it on Wikipedia. so please undelete this image and allow me to correct the copyright tag. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BeiBeiJuliaWu (talk • contribs) 17:21, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Wait, why was this image deleted? Please recreate it and include a license. Please? No vandalism allowed (because I didn't make Commons my new sandbox). ItsMeBrandonSky (talk) 15:27, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
- The deletion reason was "copyrighted screenshot". It's possible you had someone else's copyrighted material in there, whatever it was (I can't see the image). The fact you made the screenshot does not give you the copyright over everything on the screen; your screenshot may very well be a derivative work and thus under the control of another copyright owner. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:38, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
- It was a screenshot of the iPhone interface. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 16:27, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
- OK then. I'll go upload the image again with a valid license. Can you or will you allow me to do so? ItsMeBrandonSky (talk) 17:06, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
- You need to first get permission from both the developers of vbulletin since the website contains a screenshot of the application and owner of the website that you took the screenshot from in order for the image to remain on the commons. In some cases you may be able to upload the image locally to the English Wikipedia as fair use. To determine whether or this image can be used as fair use on the English Wikipedia I need to know what article it will be used in. MorganKevinJ(talk) 18:35, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
- OK then. I'll go upload the image again with a valid license. Can you or will you allow me to do so? ItsMeBrandonSky (talk) 17:06, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
- Just the authors of the application, if it's a straight screenshot, unless possibly it has copyrightable icons and stuff authored by Apple. A website owner gets no further copyright interest by hosting the image. Or... if the application is *showing* a website, then possibly them as well. That gets into muddier issues over what is copyrightable -- usually, pictorial icons are the most obvious; a website design gets a bit tougher. If it's a photo of the overall phone, which shows it running a particular application, then yes the photo itself has a separate author and you'd need their permission too. Carl Lindberg (talk) 19:05, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

I understand that the reason this file was deleted, but am requesting it be restored so that I may correct the permissions (I am new to wikipedia so believed that the screenshot was my own work). After looking at similar files, such as File:Basecamp_message_view.png. I understand that I need to attribute the website owner's copyright and mention that it is intended under the fair use rationale. If this is still incorrect, please advise :) --Spamoom (talk) 12:38, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- Still incorrect. Fair use is not permitted on Commons. en:File:Basecamp message view.png is not hosted on Commons, but on the English Wikipedia. —LX (talk, contribs) 12:43, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- Oh! I was unaware there was a difference - I though that images had to be uploaded to commons, so if I were to upload to the en Wikipedia it may be a valid file? (this is for an educational assignment, so I'm trying to get my head around it!). Thanks for the speedy response --Spamoom (talk) 12:51, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, it may be valid on WP:EN. Fair Use requires that a rationale be presented for the specific use to which a copyrighted image is put. Since Commons is a repository of images for many uses, no rationale can be constructed for keeping an image on Commons under the Fair Use exception, so we do not allow it. Many, but not all, of the Wikipedias allow fair use, including WP:EN. Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 14:15, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

This file copied from etwiki was deleted 2 years ago due to no freedom of panorama in Estonia. It's over 70 years from architect Erich Jacoby's death now (died before 1942), so it can be undeleted. 90.190.114.172 17:21, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

- Support I think. The photo looks to be licensed GFDL on et-wiki; the deletion reason here was simply "no license", so I'm guessing the only issue was the architecture copyright. Since the architect apparently died in 1941, it was eligible for undeletion here on 1 Jan 2012, but since it was a speedy deletion originally, it didn't have a DR page to add to the "Undelete in 2012" category.

- My claim is that the South Lebanon Army (SLA), the militia/army that naturally would have rights on the patch is not, since 2000, a legal entity anywhere, so there is no copyright holder, so the logo is unowned property. My basis is historical - the SLA was a Lebanese militia, one of many, during the Lebanese civil war. It allied with Israel, and was disbanded and dispersed during the 2000 Israeli withdrawal, with no successor entity. If we know nobody claims ownership - there is no copyright. DGtal (talk) 13:01, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
- I am sorry to say that is not a valid argument. There is a copyright, even if the previous owner is gone. It is much the same case as a bankrupt company. Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 14:08, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
- When a company goes bankrupt its assets are divided between debtors, but here the legal entity vanished, assuming a Lebanese militia is even considered a legal entity. If the former head of the SLA will try to sue anyone in the SLA's name he will probably be thrown out of court (in Lebanon he will also be shot for treason). DGtal (talk) 14:14, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

I apologize for not having followed proper procedure.

Hai, Fastily has deleted the image Map of Kashmir published by The Survey Of India.jpg due to license issues. My message at the talk page of Fastily was archived presumably even before Fastily could notice and respond to my message. I would like to inform you that this image is an Indian creation and was published around 1944 by the Survey of India and is thus ipso facto definitely in the Public domain in India since According to The Indian Copyright Act, 1957 (Chapter V Section 25), inter alia government works enter the public domain 60 years after the date on which they were first published, counted from the beginning of the following calendar year (ie. as of 2012, works published prior to 1 January 1952 are thus considered public domain). Therefore the tag {{PD-India}} is applicable. When I had uploaded the aforesaid image, If I am right, the choice pertaining to public domain in India was then not available! I request you to therefore restore my image so that I can provide details pertaining to the appropriate source and license. Another aspect is that this image was published purportedly in the year 1944, if not earlier, by the Survey of India at the time when India was still not independent and the Government was British Crown. As such, the tag {{PD-UKGov}} is also applicable since the work was created prior to 1962 by the the Crown Government Of United Kingdom, i.e. the predecessor government of independent India. Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose did attempt to forcibly throw the English out of India and had sought the help of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan and the Azad Hind Fauj or the Indian National Army did forcibly liberate parts of eastern India and in a glorious display of patriotism planted the Tricolour National flag on 18 April 1944 at Moirang in Manipur in the liberated part of India, but the INA was unfortunately unable to throw the English out of the rest of India up to the international border of India with Persia along the Sarhad in Baluchistan province in western India. Therefore the aforesaid tag for the United Kingdom is also applicable as the predecessor Government of independent India was the British Crown and the expiry of Crown Copyrights applies worldwide and hence the image is in the public domain!
- Besides, The issue has already been discussed at Commons:Help desk and the issue has been resolved since Prosfilaes concedes that according to [31] this is {{PD-UKGov}}. Hence, the file Map of Kashmir published by The Survey Of India.jpg is liable to be immediately restored. Hindutashravi (talk) 11:57, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- If it was an Indian government thing, I'm not sure how PD-UKGov would apply. India joined the Berne Convention as a separate entity in 1928 (well before independence), and has had their own copyright law since the 1840s (in general, just an altered version of whatever the UK legislation was, but there were differences). It's possible stuff was first published in the UK -- that may alter things. But if this was a map from that source published in 1944, then yes, I think PD-India would apply. There is a slight issue with the U.S. URAA restorations -- the map would still have been copyrighted in India in 1996 and thus its U.S. copyright was eligible for restoration. As a government work though, it may still be OK -- the UK regards its Crown Copyright expiration to apply worldwide, and India may well be the same -- it is sort of the author declaring their own works PD. Carl Lindberg (talk) 14:35, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- Is there a way you could provide more precise details about the publication to this map? The PD-India template has it publication plus 60 years, and if we do use the URAA rules, it has to be published in or before 1935. Plus, if it is indeed a Government work, http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:PD-IndiaGov&oldid=1284865 says "If this image is a work of the Indian Government which was created after 1945 it is copyrighted and cannot be used on Commons. Please remove all such images from Commons." We just need a lot of details before we can figure it out. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 16:58, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- 1940, not 1935 -- the change from 50 to 60 years was effective in 1991 and not retroactive before that. However, again, it's a government work -- those can be considered a form of PD-author, and so we may just take 60 years from now as the OK-for-Commons line. That is the case for PD-UKGov, the direct ancestor of India's law -- we don't pay attention to the URAA for those. But we do need to know it was published.

The author said they would add source information -- though that could be provided here as well, I guess. But I think PD-India sounds like the appropriate license, which was missing before, and the reason for deletion. Carl Lindberg (talk) 13:49, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

This image has been released into the public domain.
Moreover, Holly Landers died in 2003, so copyright is not going to be an issue.

- The death of the subject only affects personality rights but it will allow you to upload the image locally to the English Wikipedia as fair use. If you tell me what article you want it used in I can move it for you. Where does it say that the image is released into the public domain? MorganKevinJ(talk) 23:07, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Dear Wiki - I'm asking that this be undelete at this time, my name is Kim Dietrich and I have been taking pictures of Tom Mariano for over the last 11 years. As you can see from this link http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1254014208/nm1863451 my name is credited for the photograph for Tom’s headshot. Back in 2000 when Tom was bodybuilding I took several photographs of tom when doing his shows.
All I ask at this time that this image and file (File:Tom BB-1.jpg) be undeleted at this time. Thanks you again for understanding.

The file was deleted about concerns on the background picture (see Commons:Deletion requests/File:Samsung Galaxy S II i9100.jpg) I was however very specific that I owned the rights of the picture in the description (I took the shot myself ! How can I state it any clearer ?) Therefore, I ask this picture to be restored. Mro (talk) 15:43, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
- The problem is not of your photo of the phone, but the icons of the software and also your wallpaper used on that phone. Is there a way a photo could be uploaded minus the gator background (unless you took that photo also?) User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 16:54, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

I am the original photographer of the image. I see no reason why this should be deleted. I posted under creative commons. I see no reason why the veracity of my claim should be disputed because of a lack of metadata. I have a number of other photos from that show that I can post.

- I restored the image. The question I have is I found this image also described as taking place in 2008; which year is correct? User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 03:55, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
- It was a while ago. Whatever I put in when I first submitted it was the correct date. I'd guess 2006/2007. 2008 seems too late. I can look when I get home at my picture archives. Thanks for the restoration. 143.215.17.52 02:16, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

- Per his en-wiki article, Juvenile was born in 1975 and his debut album was in 1995. There is no way the 1991 date is correct. I did find a photo series on myspace e.g. here of him wearing the exact same outfit in concert -- no idea if that was a costume which got used at multiple concerts, or if that was the same night. I did not see this particular photo in that series though. Not sure there is a date on those either, and not sure when they were uploaded to myspace. The original upload of this file on en-wiki had a date of March 21, 2008 (as seen in the upload log on the file page). Not sure when it got changed to 1991 but it appears it may have happened on en-wiki before transfer here. Carl Lindberg (talk) 06:23, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

File:CGT Logo 2012.PNG[edit]
I would like to express my desire of an undeletion of File:CGT Logo 2012.PNG . The image was not found by me on the internet at all and wasn't copyrighted. As a matter of fact, I actually recorded the Canada's Got Talent shows from the TV and passed them to my computer (video format) and from there I opened the file and stopped the video at the end of the intro titles and took a picture with "Print Screen". That is why I demand the undeletion of this file.--Goldencolumbia (talk) 16:27, 26 March 2012 (UTC)Alex Golden Columbia. March 26th, 2012
- The problem is that it comes into an issue with derivative works. Because you recorded the show and took the screenshot yourself does not mean you can upload the image here. The copyright of the broadcast and logo are still going to be held by the people who created the program and we need their permission to even host it (you can see what we ask for at COM:L). Because of that, we cannot restore the image. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 16:57, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

- We never had an image like that here, and there is nothing in your history that shows this deleted image, so there is nothing we can do right now. Now that I have your attention, you uploaded another image and claimed it is public domain in India. I am here to tell you that if you use that template again ({{PD-India}}) on a work that is not even 1 year old (Na Bole Tum... Na Maine Kuch Kaha was aired starting in 2012) you will not only find your images deleted quickly but also be prevented from uploading. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 22:08, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
