Reposição de ficheiros de João Justiceiro (3)

Dando prosseguimento aos pedidos de reposição por partes, solicito o restauro destes arquivos, sinalizados como "violação de direitos autorais":

Os quatro primeiros arquivos são desenhos vetoriais de minha autoria baseados em obras de mais de 20 anos que não estão mais registradas em propriedade industrial (pode ser consultado o site do INPI para mais detalhes). O quinto é feito a partir deste arquivo, e os dois últimos são formas textuais simples que não podem ser enquadradas em copyright ({{PD-textlogo}}).

Convido a debater Ankry, Yann, Jmabel e Strakhov, envolvidos nas últimas discussões. João Justiceiro (talk) 23:58, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

 Agree. I believe these files are within the scope defined by {{PD-textlogo}}. Érico (talk) 00:22, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
Restore. These seem to have been part of a mass deletion of perfectly OK files uploaded by João Justiceiro. I don't know what's going on here, but so far everything he has brought here to be restored has been valid, and these appear to be, too. We're now up to maybe 30 restorations, maybe more. - Jmabel ! talk 05:12, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
Sim, ainda há mais. João Justiceiro (talk) 14:51, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

✓ Done: as per Erico. Two of these had the correct license, so they should not have been deleted. --Yann (talk) 05:09, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

Please do not delete this photo. I am the photographer/creator of this photo. It appears in the Harris County website because I am an employee of the county and I provided the photo to our website administrator. My name is Melvic Degracia. Mdegracia (talk) 20:55, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Files uploaded by 神樂坂秀吉

Please restore the following pages:

And license tag of them:

Reason: These files may be free according to [3]. See Commons:Village_pump/Copyright#Are_images_in_s:The_Complete_Lojban_Language_allowed_to_be_uploaded_here?. 神樂坂秀吉 (talk) 06:08, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

 Support per above, except the PDF file. The PDF contains text layer, and our TOU (section 7.c) requires the text to be under CC BY-SA 3.0 license. Ankry (talk) 08:29, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
 Comment - as I already wrote at VPC, I don't think this license is compatible with COM:L. But if the outcome of this UDR would be restore, please make sure to make the template a machine readable license, otherwise the files would still be eligible for deletion for not having a license and would be deleted again after 7 days. Jcb (talk) 22:19, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
I agree with Carl that this is not a problem, as this restriction means only that the license text is not free. As I said above, IMO this license cannot be used for texts here anyway. Ankry (talk) 08:39, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
 Support including the text layer. It makes no copyright difference whether the text is embedded in an image or in a text layer. The CC-BY-SA-3.0 terms of use are for user contributions during regular editing here, and should not be applied to uploaded media. If the WMF has a problem with it, we can discuss with them, but it has no bearing on whether the work is free or not. Also, there is no "machine readable" requirement for hosting here -- that is certainly good to have, and any license tags which are not should be fixed to support that, but Commons:Licensing mentions no such requirement, so it's not a reason for deletion. The requirements are simply that a work is "free", and that is a free license in my opinion. Carl Lindberg (talk) 01:21, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
@Clindberg: The "c" subsection refers to imported text from external sources, not (or at least not only) to users' contribution. Ankry (talk) 15:12, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: Yes, but the clear intent is for collaboratively-edited text, where you really have to have a common, compatible license to make that sort of thing work from a copyright perspective. Uploading a standalone free work is entirely different, and really is no different than images with different licenses. Or if text was in a bitmap, like .djvu, which we have piles of -- that is still text. It has no effect on the "free" determination. If the WMF wants to ban users who upload standalone free media that contains text under a different license, maybe I'm misunderstanding something and there should be a further discussion -- but we don't need to enforce the overall WMF terms of use, and that is a separate concern from Commons:Licensing. Now, you can't use that text directly in a Wikipedia article, but there should be no problem hosting it. Wikisource is another area where I think that clause of the terms of use can be taken too far. Our project scope is to host free media, not just CC-BY-SA media, and using the terms of use simply because a user has to perform the act of uploading seems like a complete technicality. The work is still free. Carl Lindberg (talk) 18:55, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

✓ Done: as per Carl Lindberg. Frankly, this was a bad deletion. This should not have been deleted without a DR. --Yann (talk) 04:19, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

File:Dan M. Costescu.jpg

Dear Patrick/Wiki,

the visionzero.lt has no rights on the above picture. Mr. Dan M. Costescu which is in the same time the subject and the owner of the picture, sent the pic to the staff of conference only to be printed on the Speaker page, There was no property transfer of all and the property remains of Mr Costescu. As I have the approval of Mr Costescu to use it on Wikipedia I hope that would be enough for you.

It is work mentioning also that, Mr. Costescu is not happy with his current picture on Wiki, and I think everyoane deserve o decent picture there.

Thank you for your understanding and for support to post a decent photography

The video isnt shown on the archive link. For me its no proof that the its was published under a free license. --JuTa 09:07, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
Your reasoning for deletion was per nomination, not that there was no proof that it was published under a free license. The reason for nomination has not been proven. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 10:57, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
I've extended the reasons in the DR here. --JuTa 02:14, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
I have undone your 'extension' as it says at the top "This deletion debate is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive." Your reasoning makes no sense as the nomination is based on the video being the one in the link. LOVE MAGAZINE did tweet about the video at https://twitter.com/thelovemagazine/status/855009574293823488, but as you can see the video has been taken down on the actual page linked. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 10:12, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
My reasoning makes abloslutly sense. The nomination said: Now I have no idea if this (the licensing) is valid or not. We cannot prove if it was valid or not, because your given archive links does not show the video, so we cannot prove if a cc license ever was connected to the video. --JuTa 13:07, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
I support undeletion, provided there is evidence the video was imported from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R50bCSSsxdQ, e.g. the initial upload log if it was through video2commons, because:
  1. The said evidence would prove Commons file is the same as the youtube video.
  2. The archives prove the video was Youtube-CC.
  3. If there is no other problem in the video.--Roy17 (talk) 03:11, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
It contains copyrighted materials anyway. https://twitter.com/thelovemagazine/status/855009574293823488 is believed to be a 42s clip of the 2m35s video. The video contains posters, movies and MV. The audio contains songs.--Roy17 (talk) 03:21, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

File:S_strathdee_2017.jpg

Hello,

This is regarding the Wikipedia page on Steffanie Strathdee. This photograph was taken by UCSD at the Public Affairs office for a magazine and is owned the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). The author, Scott Lafee who is an employee of UCSD, has submitted his permission on behalf of the University and the permission of the Public Affairs department under the following free license "Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International" to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org on May 17, 2019. He had stated while submitting these permissions that the images have already been widely and freely shared publicly. Given that we have permission from the author, the organization, and in general the photo has been used freely with organizations outside of the University, would you be able to undelete this image?

The original ticket number from the Wikimedia permissions e-mail was 2019051710009424.

Please let me know if I missed anything with how to get this image back on Steffanie Strathdee's Wikipedia page.

Thank you, Sharon

THe duplicate you cited for copyright violations is the same photo the Gina Harlow/Gina Davis uses on her facebook page. Which is further proof she owns the copyright to the photo in question which she provided to me for the purposes of creating an biography.

Your policy does not apparently consider duplicate photos under divverent internet accounts, which is should. SOmeone should be allow and permitted, even encouraged to use the same photo for any internet account such as: Wikipedia, Facebook, Linkedin, Google, Amazon, dateing websites etc.

Ellin Beltz is still refusing to undelete because.. well, why? Pure bureaucracy if you ask me. The only semi-valid (semi-valid?) argument is "The photos contain images of artwork and/or sculpture". Well yes, but all that stuff is either {{PD-old-70}} or {{FoP-Germany}} which you as an admin ought to know, so still no copyright issues there.

I do not see source images for File:Marienstatue an der Basilika in Philippsdorf.jpg. I  Support undeletion of the others two. I see no problem with sculpture authorship not mentioned in the Author field as German FoP does not require this. Similarily, nobody is required to mention the author of Eiffel Tower or the architect of Sagrada Família as the Author when publishing photos of this objects. Of course, it is nice to have sculptor name mentioned somewhere, eg. in the description. But I do not think it is strictly required.
Also, I think that this request should be  On hold until the DR is closed (to avoid ping-pong). Ankry (talk) 19:45, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: I'll ask Schwarz Chronik to upload the source images of File:Marienstatue an der Basilika in Philippsdorf.jpg as well, but.. They have proven that their own work claim can be trusted. I see no "significant doubt" here as required by COM:PRP. Commons policies do not require metadata or uploading the individual photos you took yourself and made a collage of. If Charlesjsharp uploaded a collage without metadata and said he took the photos himself, you wouldn't delete it, is all I'm sayin'. Surely it's very nice to have the individual photos as well, but if you want to make that a requirement, you should create a proposal for that. I'm not sure yet if I would support that. Gotta think about that. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 20:11, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

I have attempted to upload a photo of the artist to his page. The artist is the copyright holder of this photograph and has given me authorization to replace the original photo with this file. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lmroiter (talk • contribs) 06:24, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

@Lmroiter: If the uploader is not the photographer, or the photo was published elsewhere prior to upload here, then we need written free license permission from the actual copyright holder (and a proof that they are copyright holder if they are not the photographer). Ask them to follow COM:OTRS instructions. Ankry (talk) 08:01, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
Note also that claiming that you are the photo author when you are not the photographer is against Wikimedia Commons rules and illegal. Ankry (talk) 08:04, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi @Patrick Rogel:

I write to request for the undelete of the above subject. The original owner of the above subject has sent-in a release letter to the OTRS for the use of the image on Wikipedia.See the release ticket below: Ticket#2019070110006739...Olaniyan Olushola (talk) 14:37, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

  •  Oppose If a free license has been sent to OTRS, then the file will be restored automatically when and if the email is received, processed, and approved. Note that OTRS, like Commons, is entirely staffed by volunteers, and, also like Commons, is shorthanded, so it may be close to 7 days before the email is processed and the file is restored.
If the message was sent to the English language version of OTRS and the email has been properly received there the sender will receive an automatic reply with the ticket number. If the sender has not had a reply, please check that it was sent correctly and try again. Other language versions may or may not provide the automatic reply. Ankry (talk) 15:47, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

I ask for the restoration of the following SCANNERIZED portrait from an old Book. the following painting dates back to the 17th century, by an unknown artist.--NNEPEL12 (talk) 11:34, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

 Info Not true: the portrait photo originates from a 2008 book. No clear evidence that it is free. Also, image uploaded by an abuser. Ankry (talk) 08:44, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
Ankry personally I rather think that it is necessary to see what concerns the painting, if we take care that the information on the book, then we will declare that the "portrait is under copyright, because" it was executed in 2008 ":)
I want to take care of this user, and of what can have hope of being able to be re-evaluated in terms of files and information regarding the sources connected to them. after all Not all evil comes to harm.--NNEPEL12 (talk) 09:30, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
 Support This looks rather PD-Art. Regards, Yann (talk) 04:04, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
Unless it falls under EU first publication right. An evidence of older publication of the portrait (eg. info where it was presented to the public) might be needed. However, I do not oppose undeletion if nobody else shares my point of view here. Ankry (talk) 17:49, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: That would apply only if we consider that it was never published before, which is not reasonable for a 17th century painting. In addition, this painting was created much before copyright existed, so it is obviously in the public domain. Regards, Yann (talk) 08:07, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
I agree that this is unlikely, but it is possible that the portrait was stored in private collections for few centuries. And we have COM:PCP. So standard procedure would be to ask the uploader for more information (eg. from the book). But it is not possible in this case. Ankry (talk) 09:36, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: But that's my point above. Even if it was stored in private collections for few centuries, the painting is out of copyright as it was created before any copyright law existed. These laws do not bring back into copyright things which were created earlier. Regards, Yann (talk) 07:10, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
I am unsure about Italian law here, but in some EU countries the law introducing "first publication right" covers also works that were never copyrighted eg. due to creation time. So even the publisher who legally publishes prehistoric paintings from a "private" cave can get exclusive right to publish them in the following 25 years. But only in EU. Ankry (talk) 07:58, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
But that law applies only if copyright existed when the work was created. A late 19th century work first published today might get a new publisher's copyright, but not a 17th century painting, otherwise some people would claim a copyright on the Lascaux paintings. After all, they were made available to the public only in 1940, and Marcel Ravidat, the discoverer, died in 1995. Regards, Yann (talk) 18:18, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

File:Le temps efface la mémoire.jpg

Bonjour, ce fichier a été supprimé avec l'argument superfétatoire qu'il se serait agi d'un travail dérivé (c'est du moins la traduction de Google de " derivative work"), or ce n'est pas le cas, il n'y a rien de dérivé dans l'objet que l'on voit sur cette image qui n'est pas une oeuvre mais un simple panneau indicatif comme il y en a des centaines d'autres dans Commons. De plus, aucun argument n'a été mis en avant qui permettrait simplement d'imaginer que cette hypothèse puisse être envisageable. A ce titre, je demande la restauration de cette image qui est mon oeuvre de par le fait que la photo est mon oeuvre et qu'elle prend un sens symbolique par le titre que je lui ai donné. Elle n'est une oeuvre que de ce fait et je suis libre de la publier. Merci de votre attention. Courtoisement. - Paul.schrepfer (talk) 09:05, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

@Paul.schrepfer: Can you prove that you are the author of the map presented on your photo? Ankry (talk) 09:46, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
 Oppose The map is obviously not the uploader's work. Regards, Yann (talk) 18:05, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
Bonjour, je ne comprends pas votre question. Cordialement. - C'est moi (talk) 05:21, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

@Yann: j'ai trouvé en français dans Wikipédia, au sujet de la liberté de panorama la phrase suivante : "L'article 2-1 de la convention de Berne (signée le 9 septembre 1886) cite explicitement les « œuvres d'architecture, de sculpture » comme relevant de son application.". Il ne faudrait pas faire dire au textes, à des fins partisanes en particulier, ce qu'ils ne disent pas. Ce panneau n'est ni une sculpture ni une œuvre architecturale. Il n'est donc pas concerné. Cette photo mérite d'être restaurée. Amicalement - C'est moi (talk) 07:01, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
@Paul.schrepfer: Cela ne fonctionne pas comme ça. Le texte que vous citez ci-dessus implique que les « œuvres d'architecture et de sculpture » sont exemptées de l'application du droit d'auteur, mais pas les autres œuvres, quand il existe une liberté de panorama, comme en Allemagne. Le problème est justement qu'il n'y a pas de liberté de panorama en France. Cordialement, Yann (talk) 09:54, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
@Yann: , c'est très exactement tout à fait le contraire : seules les oeuvres sculpturales et architecturales sont visées par la convention de Berne. Nous ne sommes pas dans ce cas en ce qui concerne un panneau indicateur d'arrêt de bus. Extrait plus complet de l'article liberté de panorama de Wikipédia : Principe de base - Dans la plupart des pays, la protection du droit d'auteur est reconnue aux architectes et sculpteurs sur leurs œuvres quand elles présentent une dimension artistique (ce qui en exclut, par exemple, les reconstitutions scientifiques d'appareils ou vaisseaux, d'ADN agrandi, ou d'animaux préhistoriques d'une portée exclusivement didactique). L'article 2-1 de la convention de Berne (signée le 9 septembre 1886) cite explicitement les « œuvres d'architecture, de sculpture » comme relevant de son application. L'article 9 du même texte réserve à l'auteur « le droit exclusif d’autoriser la reproduction de ces œuvres, de quelque manière et sous quelque forme que ce soit. » . Et encore une fois, une erreur manifeste, de nature à induire en erreur les usagers, ne peut pas être considérée comme une oeuvre, sinon, un piratage informatique peut en être une également. - C'est moi (talk) 10:32, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

File:Poster ZERO IMPUNITY.jpg

Hello,

I would like to add this official poster of the film Zero impunity to its wikipedia page (still in work in progress). However, the system refuses that I integrate this image for copyright reasons. I understand the situation very well, but I own the rights of this image. The owners of the image (the production company a_BAHN of which I am a producer and partner) authorize this sharing of the official poster of the film to the general public.

What do you need as a confirmation element to confirm / prove that as owners we allow the publication of this image?

- Here you will find the website of a_BAHN, producer and copyright holder of the image : http://a-bahn.com/projects - Here you will find a proof that I am part of a_BAHN : http://a-bahn.com/about - Here my credit on IMDB : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9876288/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Unfortunately, thwiki is not among Commons import wikis nor we have user with importer rights. So the import can be made by a steward only. @-revi, علاء, DerHexer, Green Giant, Mardetanha, and NahidSultan: pinging recently active admins who has steward rights and can do the XML import.

@V-spectrum: You can. But due to legal reasons, for images that were published elsewhere prior to upload to Commons, we have to ensure that the license is granted by the same person who published the image initially. And as everybody is anonymous here, we cannot accept on-wiki permission in such cases (only permissions originating from original site, or via COM:OTRS are accepted).

File:Cronometer logo.png

Please undelete this image. It does conform to copyright standards. At first, I uploaded the logo without it being so, choosing "I found it on the internet—I’m not sure", but I was about to fix it once I got a response from the creator who I emailed about it. By the time they did reply back and granted me permission to use it and told me its copyright info, I had noticed it had been deleted already because of copyright violation. So I uploaded the logo again, this time it actually being a higher-quality image I was sent, and and provided the necessary licensing info, and...it was deleted again? I don’t understand!?

Reposição de ficheiros de João Justiceiro (4)

Dando prosseguimento aos pedidos de reposição por partes, solicito o restauro destes arquivos, sinalizados como "violação de direitos autorais":

São bandeiras e brasões de dois municípios brasileiros. Obviamente não há como enquadra-los em direitos autorais pois são obras de domínio público, como está sinalizado na tag {{PD-BrazilGov}}.

Convido a debater Ankry, Yann, Jmabel, Strakhov e Érico, envolvidos nas últimas discussões. João Justiceiro (talk) 21:32, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

 Question: This license template contains two cases when it can be applied:
  1. It is a work published or commissioned by a Brazilian government (federal, state, or municipal) prior to 1983.
  2. It is the text of a treaty, convention, law, decree, regulation, judicial decision, or other official enactment.
Which one applies here? Ankry (talk) 21:48, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: Ambos. As insígnias e bandeiras são símbolos oficiais dos governos municipais, e como tal, reguladas por lei. João Justiceiro (talk) 23:36, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
If they are part of a legal act, the act should be pointed out. We need precise information about the legal status. Ankry (talk) 08:09, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: Encontrei esta matéria a respeito da adoção dos novos símbolos em Timon, citando a lei municipal nº 1936. Há também o site oficial da prefeitura. Sobre os símbolos de São José de Ribamar, não consegui encontrar publicações a respeito, mas também há o site oficial da prefeitura nesse caso. João Justiceiro (talk) 00:44, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
I would support undeletion, if the images are enclosed in the local legal acts (like the lei municipal nº 1936). However, the above mentioned pages are not the legal act contents. Ankry (talk) 09:11, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: O texto da lei mencionada acima eu consegui encontrar no Diário Oficial de Timon. O Diário Oficial de São José de Ribamar porém, só passou a ser digitalizado em dezembro de 2015, sendo impossível qualquer consulta anterior a esta, o que inclui justamente o decreto de adoção dos novos símbolos do município. João Justiceiro (talk) 05:47, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
{{|tl|s}} undeletion of the first two per above-mentioned source. However, I cannot find the others inside the legal act content. @Jmabel and Érico: maybe you can help resolving this? Ankry (talk) 17:11, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: They are images. The copyright exception is specifically for the texts. Being included in a law doesn't make images become texts. Or am I missing something? -- Asclepias (talk) 17:39, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
Indeed, I misread the template text. The original law refers only to text. Ankry (talk) 07:29, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
@João Justiceiro: Olá! Há outas? Acho melhor debatermos (e possivelmente restaurarmos) todas de uma vez. Érico (talk) 23:32, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
@Érico: Mandei uma mensagem na sua PDU. João Justiceiro (talk) 23:50, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
Do these predate 1983? - Jmabel ! talk 04:35, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
@Jmabel: Não, os símbolos substituíram as bandeiras antigas, no caso de Timon em 2014, e de São José de Ribamar em 2015. Mas a lei vale de forma retroativa ao adotado em 1983. João Justiceiro (talk) 00:44, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

File:Chef Bee from Paste Bangkok.jpg

I, the agency, would like to request undeletion of the image, as requested by Chef Bongkoch 'Bee' Satongun (the sole owner of File:Chef Bee from Paste Bangkok.jpg).

She, the owner, has already inquired to use this image under Ticket #2019061710008736 sent to an Alfred Neumann (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org) on Tuesday, June 25, 2019 7:40 AM BKK, and has sent a follow-up email with no response.

File:Monique Richard Alpiniste.jpg

July 8, 2019

Hello,

Please undelete this photo. This image belong to Monique Richard and was shared by her with the website you indicate in your message. I am working on the wiki page with Monique Richard and THEY (Institute for conscious leadership) are using the image with HER permission.

The photo was initially published by her on her Facebook page : https://www.facebook.com/monique.richardalpiniste/photos/a.563374057029076/2494940363872426/?type=3&theater She gave me the right to upload it and put in Wikimedia Commons.

Best regards,

--Assiniboine (talk) 16:29, 8 July 2019 (UTC) and Monique Richard

But this contradicts your earlier claim that you are the photographer. COM:OTRS permission from the actual copyright holder is needed. Ankry (talk) 18:33, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for the information. These are my very first steps with Wikipedia/Wikimedia, I'm not yet very familiar with all the aspects; but I want to make things right. How should she (the copyright holder) give permission to upload this image (this one and eventually other ones), to wikimedia? And how can she allow me to upload photos to the wiki we are currenlty building for her? (She does not currently have an account on Wikipedia.) Please advice, Regards, --Assiniboine (talk) 19:40, 8 July 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Assiniboine (talk • contribs) 19:38, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

@Assiniboine: Bonjour,
Dans un cas comme celui-ci, puisque la photo a été publiée sur facebook sans mention de licence et sans information sur l'identité du photographe, il y a plusieurs choses à vérifier ou à confirmer, afin de s'assurer de ne contrevenir aux droits de personne.
Notez que la réponse précédente spécifie bien qu'une déclaration de licence libre doit provenir du véritable propriétaire des droits d'auteur patrimoniaux. En général, le propriétaire des droits d'auteur est le photographe, et non pas la personne photographiée. Il faut donc d'abord identifier le photographe, puisque, de toutes façons, c'est son nom qui doit apparaître comme auteur et puisqu'il demeure toujours propriétaire des droits d'auteur moraux (même dans les cas où il aurait cédé les droits d'auteur patrimoniaux).
Ensuite, il y a trois possibilités. Vous devrez vérifiez les faits pour déterminer laquelle s'applique.
A) S'il s'agit d'un autoportrait («selfie») pris par Monique Richard elle-même, il faudrait confirmer clairement que c'est bien elle qui a pris la photo et, dans ce cas, la déclaration de licence libre devra provenir d'elle.
B) Par contre, si la photo a été prise par quelqu'un d'autre (par exemple, par le photographe Daniel Daignault ou par quelqu'un d'autre), et que ce photographe n'a pas explicitement cédé ses droits d'auteur patrimoniaux, la déclaration de licence libre doit provenir de ce photographe.
C) Si le photographe a explicitement cédé ses droits d'auteur patrimoniaux à Monique Richard, il faut une confirmation de cette entente contractuelle. Une déclaration de Monique Richard à cet effet suffirait probablement (mais idéalement une confirmation par le photographe serait encore mieux). Mais attention : il arrive que des personne photographiées croient à tort qu'elles ont acquis tous les droits sur une photo alors qu'en fait, par le contrat, elles ont seulement acquis le droit d'utiliser la photo, ce qui n'inclut pas une cession des droits d'auteur patrimoniaux ni la possibilité d'offrir la photo sous une licence libre.
Les déclarations de licence libre dont il est question ci-dessus peuvent se faire par courriel, provenant directement du photographe ou de Monique Richard, selon le cas applicable, et expédiées à Wikimedia. La procédure et l'adresse à utiliser se trouvent dans la page d'aide, déjà mentionnée dans la réponse précédente, Commons:OTRS, si vous préférez la version anglaise, ou Commons:OTRS/fr si vous préférez la version française.
Alternativement, dans le cas particulier où il s'agirait d'un autoportrait, au lieu d'utiliser la procédure ci-dessus, il peut être beaucoup plus simple et rapide que Monique Richard écrive dans sa page facebook que cette photo est un autoportrait et qu'elle y précise la licence libre qu'elle offre.
Quant à la dernière partie de votre question, au sujet d'autres photos que Monique Richard vous mandaterait pour téléverser en son nom, elle peut suivre à chaque fois la procédure par courriel OTRS pour chaque photo ou pour chaque groupe de photos en précisant de quelles photos il s'agit. Ou elle peut écrire un seul courriel OTRS disant qu'elle vous accorde un mandat général pour téléverser toutes photos en son nom. Mais ce serait probablement plus simple qu'elle se crée son propre compte Wikimedia. Passer par intermédiaire alourdit les choses. Et le traitement des courriels par Wikimedia peut prendre beaucoup de temps, car les volontaires qui s'en occupent sont débordés. Évidemment, dans tous les cas, il doit s'agir de photos qu'elle a prises elle-même ou sur lesquelles elle a clairement acquis les droits d'auteur par contrat écrit. Sinon, le courriel doit provenir du photographe.
Pour d'autres questions générales, vous pouvez utiliser les pages de discussion comme Commons:Bistro en français ou Commons:Help desk en anglais.

To whom is may concern,

My name is Christopher Lam and I work for PIMCO and I was currently updating Emmanuel Romans and PIMCO's wiki pages. The image that I uploaded was requested by the head of our department. Is it possible to get it added back? We have copyright rights to that image.

@Czkld: one way to verify your authorship and release the photo to Commons could be done in the following steps:
  1. Make that specific facebook/instagram photo public.
  2. Comment on the photo with the text I release this under CC-.... Choose a licence you prefer.
  3. Write down that fb/ig link here.

AXM LOGO.jpg

This file was turn down for usage because of the deletion that happened couple days ago. I am the one who upload it in Commons and I am an authorized AXM Futsal Manado Media crew and uploading and creating the site on wikipedia os one of my programme, the deletion of the file postpone some of my works. This page and the usage if the photo is also to promote more and to help more people on knowing more about AXM Futsal Manado. I own the image and I am the one who took part on creating the logo, and it is a disgrace if my work is not categorized as my own original work just because of uploading it via Wizard. Please accept my apologies because I am just an amateur author in wikipedia and still learning to be better in the future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aepangemanan (talk • contribs) 04:25, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

 Question Where can anybody at any time verify that User:Aepangemanan is the author and the copyright holder of the AXM logo as you claimed during upload? If that information was not true, how can we believe you now? Free license evidence from the actual copyright holder is needed in order to keep the logo in Wikimedia Commons. Either through their official site or through COM:OTRS. Ankry (talk) 08:32, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
@Aepangemanan: No worries, everybody has been a new user here, and anybody who has a reasonable upload history had their files deleted. The problem is somewhat summarised by Ankry above, we, as a community, cannot be sure that what you post is actually posted by you, or that you are who you say you are. Remember that funny picture that has been going around, "On the internet nobody knows that you are a dog"? It is just like this. We need to set up a way to verify that. Also there is another issue, that has not been raised. You are saying that you "took part [in] creating the logo", however, this does not mean that you are a sole copyright holder (and if it was work for hire, it doesn't even mean that you are a copyright holder at all). Copyright is not as simple as "I have done something with this once, so now it is mine". The best way to approach this would be to confirm that AXM Futsal Manado Media is ok with releacing that file under a free licence. This can be done via COM:OTRS. Although Ankry has stated that it is ok to do through the official site, I was unable to locate one, but perhaps I haven't searched well enough. Hopefully you will be able to resolve this swiftly; but keep in mind that the ball is now in your court, and we are waiting for your action... and without such action the file will not be restored. ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 06:17, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

@Ankry: Thanks, I had saved the text on my computer before it was deleted. (also, Everipedia archived it on archive.org) It was Colin who said there were personal attacks, and Colin misrepresents things I say rather often. It basically said (in a tongue-in-cheek way) "Everipedia is for ego-trippers" and (more seriously) "Everipedia fails attribution forever". (the latter backed up by evidence) Nobody was attacked personally or even seriously. The only person who was addressed was Mike Novogratz, but that was absolutely impossible to take seriously. No personal attack. Anyhow, I would strip all these things as offtopic. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 20:29, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

This was flagged as being copyright protected in the country of origin.

As a matter of law, most of us outside Iran have no obligation to avoid copying this work. However, Wikimedia Commons has made a policy of not accepting works that are in copyright in their country of origin, for various complex reasons.

Airbus pictures

Please could you un-delete the two photos highlighted in the subject; taken from Draft:Airbus AlbatrossONE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Airbus_AlbatrossONE). These photos were taken from the public domain and was referenced fully when uploading onto wiki. The photos were deleted due to not being referenced, however i have since referenced both the photos and re-uploaded.

The photos were downloaded from the following page :https://www.airbus.com/newsroom/press-releases/en/2019/06/how-the-albatross-is-inspiring-next-generation-of-aircraft-wings.html

Thank you, --Mikedabin (talk) 07:36, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

File:Portrait0002.jpg

To whom it may concern,

Mr. Alain Herzog (alain.herzog@epfl.ch) took this picture of me. He is the official photographer for EPFL. When I submitted this picture with the copyright embedded (I did not know there was a copyright but I had permissions from him), the picture was removed. I then asked him if it is ok to remove the copyright so I can use it on the web. He sent me a version of the picture without the copyright. This is the version that is uploaded under Portrait0002.jpg.

We have a process, which will allow you to provide proof of such transfer, COM:OTRS. Please go to that page and follow the directions there.

Hello,

I am writing to request an undeletion of the file listed above. This file is owned by my company, Eurasia Group, and is an image of our president, Ian Bremmer. Richard Jopson, whose name is listed in the file, is the photographer, but we own the photo.

Please let me know what we can do to get this situation rectified as quickly as possible.

File:2019_06_21_wikipedia_inquiry_learning_afbeelding_1.png

To whom it may concern,

I have added the section 'Inquiry learning to read in the Netherlands, for reading mature children only' on webpage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inquiry-based_learning#Inquiry_learning_to_read_in_the_Netherlands%2C_for_reading_mature_children_only. Included where three pictures. Two of them have been accepted but the third not yet.

Eatcha had my addition and the control over the three pictures under his responsibility. As the third picture - picture 1 - he has asked my whether the picture was mine or not. About 10 days ago I have answered him:

ontdekkendleren.nl is my website and Stichting Histos ('Foundation Histos') promotes my work and I work for it - actually I am the founder.

Picture 1, for example, is on http://ontdekkendleren.nl/oll/zo-ontdek-ik-het-lezen-deel-1 and there you can see that I am the author of both books.

I have got no reaction from Eatcha and I understand that on Wikipedia he has a break now until March 20th 2020.

Will you, please, further my case by answering my reaction from about 10 days ago?

Kind regards,

The easiest way forward would be a free licence for this image and the other images at your website. This would allow us to verify your claim and restore the image here at Commons. Alternatively you may send an email as outlined in COM:OTRS, but it will take several weeks until this gets processed by our volunteer email team. So you might want to place a simple statement about the "Creative Commons by attribution share-alike 4.0" licence at this page too. De728631 (talk) 20:00, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Commons:Assuming worst case copyright and Commons:Do disrupt Commons to illustrate a point

Deletion request links: Commons:Deletion requests/Commons:Assuming worst case copyright and Commons:Deletion requests/Commons:Do disrupt Commons to illustrate a point

Initially the pages "Commons:Assuming worst case copyright" and "Commons:Do disrupt Commons to illustrate a point" were nominated for deletion by T Cells after they were called "out of scope" by Steinsplitter and were finally deleted by Jcb exactly 7 days later on 18 November 2018. These deletions were controversial. The reason used for their nomination "Contrary to the claim of the page creator, the page does not contains the advice and/or opinions of one or more Commons contributors.", a claim made by T Cells, could easily be disproven by the simple fact that both these essays were created by Alexis Jazz (difficult to argue Alexis is not a Commons contributor) and provided opinions and advice. Both of these pages deal with copyright issues on Wikimedia Commons which is a central theme of this website and both pages give a detailed insight into both the history and execution of certain copyright practices on Wikimedia Commons.

Is there consensus to undelete them where an admin will first restore the pages "Commons:Assuming worst case copyright" and "Commons:Do disrupt Commons to illustrate a point", then move them to "User:Alexis Jazz/Assuming worst case copyright" and "User:Alexis Jazz/Do disrupt Commons to illustrate a point", either with or without leaving a redirect? This way the editing history of those pages would be preserved. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 13:23, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

  •  Support (well obviously..) - Alexis Jazz ping plz 13:27, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
  • While I can  Support the first one under some conditions, I definitely  Oppose undeletion of the second one: it is offensive trolling directed to certain commons users and I found its form unacceptable.
Concerning Commons:Assuming worst case copyright: when it was created and deleted the author could be considered not to be an established Commons user; that has changed IMO. In the article its author contests COM:PCP. But except that it contains some useful information. I would support undeletion if the author accepts to add clear warning that "this essay contests COM:PCP which is a Wikimedia Commons rule".
Opinions of other established Commons users are welcome. Ankry (talk) 16:47, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: IIRC it didn't contest COM:PCP, it was targeted mostly at re-users of Commons content who might have different needs compared to Commons. And I think it had {{Essay}} at the top which says "It is not a Commons policy or guideline", but if you want me to add an additional warning I have no problem with that. I don't believe the second essay was "trolling". I read it again and.. really, it describes the events as they happened. You say it's directed at "certain commons users", I am the writer and I can only think of one it is about, not even actually directed at. And it's not policy, unlike something like w:en:WP:IAR. My opinion, in fact my observation, is that sometimes making noise and disrupting a bit will actually help to bring change. Certainly, you need to know how far you can go. Slowking4 has sadly proven not to know, considering they're blocked now. Incnis also didn't know. But that doesn't mean properly dosed and directed disruption can't wake people up. But as always, use with moderation.
When you say "when it was created and deleted the author could be considered not to be an established Commons user", I wonder where you draw the line. By November 2018 I had 900+ uploads including overwrites, current versions only and excluding batch uploads. All took some form of manual labor. Be it taking a photo, importing media with V2C, cropping an existing image, photoshopping something, etc. And that's not including categorizations and other text contributions. Also, I'd been autopatrolled for 10 months by that time. But I guess your standards for "an established Commons user" are just higher than mine. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 17:57, 29 June 2019 (UTC
  • Clarification Please:
  1. Is Alexis Jazz generally accepted as a competent good faith contributor?
  2. Concerning the question of whether the material "contests PCP". WMF projects are not monolithic cults. Shouldn't we be entitled to disagree with some of the projects' policies? While voicing an opinion that goes against policy, in a deletion fora, isn't helpful, because we are all supposed to follow the existing policies, shouldn't there be a place for good faith contributors to argue for new policies, or the modification of old policies?
  3. Should the minority view of a single individual, or a handful of individuals, be in a WMF's project's main space, where it looks like a policy, or widely accepted guideline? No. When should a minority view sit in a main space, like [[Commons:...]] or [[Wikipedia:...]]? I frankly do not know. Is it OK if the material seems to clearly warn readers the opinions are not generally accepted? Frankly, I do not know. I've never promoted any of my user essays to mainspace, although some other contributors do link to them. But, since we aren't a monolithic cult, why couldn't these essays have been demoted and moved to userspace? Geo Swan (talk) 20:49, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
Frankly, I misread the request: my objections concerning the first one were related to remaining it in the Commons: namespace. No objections if moved to userspace. My objections concerning the second one are still valid, however. If Alexis Jazz wishes, I can send the content via email. Opinions from other users, especially other admins, are still welcome, however. Ankry (talk) 23:16, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
  • Favorable to moving these essays to the user space, provided comments on other contributors are redacted. — Racconish 💬 19:08, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
  • It's difficult to tell what the supposed problems are while these are deleted. Since this doesn't teal with copyright violations, the essays should be restored so that those in this discussion can evaluate the arguments made. GMGtalk 19:19, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
@GreenMeansGo: Assuming worst case copyright has already been restored. The Everipedia essay (UDR below this one) can be read on archive.org, but I would strip all the goofy stuff from it so it doesn't really matter. Commons:Do disrupt Commons to illustrate a point detailed how Slowking4's use of GFDL+CC-BY-NC and recommending it to other users ultimately resulted in Commons no longer accepting photos with only a GFDL license, which to the best of my knowledge was Slowking4's goal all along. @Racconish: I think the essay only comments on Slowking4, but not in a negative way. Slowking4 never complained about it. There's the line "seven administrators (list of names)", not really a comment on any of them, but the reading flow will improve when I remove the list of names, so I'll do that if the essay is restored. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 12:06, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
  • @Racconish: is there any blocker for undeleting Commons:Do disrupt Commons to illustrate a point and moving it to my userspace? Slowking4 doesn't have an issue with it (hell, he responded on the DR) and I'll remove the list of admin usernames. (not really a comment on them and not vital for the essay, removing the list actually improves readability) And undeletion/moving of the Everipedia essay (below) shouldn't be controversial. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 20:57, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Unfortunately, your opinion about the photo copyright status is not enough here. The photo may be PD, but we need an evidence for that. Assuming, that this is a photo from US, its copyright status depends on whether and when it was initially published and whether the publication was with or without copyright notice. If this is a private, unpublished photo, it may be still copyrighted 70 years after the photographer's death or, if the photographer is unknown, 120 years since it was made.

The above file has been deleted when I tried to upload it.

I know that there is no longer any copyright on the rebel ceilidh songbooks and thus seek to upload them on to here. I have had this assurance from the archive that provided them to me, and also everyone involved in their writing is now dead and the organisation itself has been defunct since 1967.

However it continues to get deleted when I try to upload the files, and I can't see a valid explanation as to why. Thanks in advance

--SNP History (talk) 14:12, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

 Oppose This seems to be a UK publication. UK copyright expire 70 years after author's death or 70 years after publication for anonymous works. This period did not elapse yet; eg. Thurso Berwick died in 1981 so his copyright will expire in 2052. And we also need to wait for US copyright expiration (95 years since first publication). Ankry (talk) 14:46, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

@Gunter1955: Are you the author and copyright holder of the works you uploaded as you declared? Providing false information is against Wikimedia Commons rules and claiming to hold copyright while you actually do not is copyright violation. According to public records, copyright to the first photo belongs to Lucas Pitcher, and copyright to the photos of paintings belongs to the painted. Your claim that you are both is unreliable. The above-mentioned text contains instruction where the copyright holder (the painter or his heirs) should send a free license permission, that is required for all photos by living and recently (less than 70 years ago) died painters.
In future, do not claim {{Own}} authorship on images that are 'not made by you using your own camera or that present content that is copyrighted by somebody else. Ankry (talk) 04:58, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
I am also noting that as this page has been deleted, paintings of this painter might be out of Wikimedia Commons scope. Ankry (talk) 05:02, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

The first problem here is that Commons is not the place for promotion. We present only paintings of well known artists or of historical value. Google say nothing about the painter.
And after this is resolved, we can start resolving copyright related issues.

File:Sir_James_Black_Baillie.jpg Died: June 9, 1940, Weybridge, United Kingdom

Sir Baillie was born October 24, 1872, West Mill, Tennessee and he died June 9, 1940, Weybridge, United Kingdom. Sir James Black Baillie, OBE (24 October 1872 – 9 June 1940) was a British moral philosopher and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Leeds. He wrote the first significant translation of Hegel's "Phenomenology of Mind." He is said to be the model for the character Sir John Evans in the novel The Weight of the Evidence (1944) by Michael Innes.[1]

The deleter Marcus_Cyron (talk · contribs) incorrectly suggested that

Author died in 1958, so not dead since 70+ years

This is incorrect since the person whose photo was deleted died in 1940 and the math is incorrect since the current year is 2019 and . To be precise, from Sunday, June 9, 1940 to, but not including Friday, July 19, 2019 is 79 years, 1 month, 10 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date. Equivalently, it is 28,894 days excluding the end date; or 949 month, 10 days excluding the end date; it is 2,496,441,600 seconds = 41,607,360 minutes = 693,456 hours = 4127 weeks and 5 days. In fact, this user Marcus_Cyron (talk · contribs) appears to be mindlessly deleting content with the verbatim reason provided above on at least 25 other files in Wikimedia Commons.

This image was deleted with the reason: Author died in 1958, so not dead since 70+ years. I don't understand the requirement of 70 pma. The photograph was taken by Walter Stoneman in 1916 (1). So, British Copyright Act 1911 will apply. As per Section 21 (2) of that Act, copyright of photographs subsisted for 50 years from the making of the original negative from which the photograph was directly or indirectly derived. Therefore, it is PD-UK. And being pre-1924, it is PD-US. Hrishikes (talk) 13:14, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

 Oppose According to Commons:Copyright rules by territory/United Kingdom UK copyright length is always based on author's death date if author is known. Regardless on creation date. I assume, the copyright length was extended by later law. Ankry (talk) 14:35, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: -- I think you should take a few minutes to study the relevant law. Copyright of photograph was not death-year-based at that time. I have already given the link for the law. The later act, British Copyright Act 1956 (3) did not change the provision for photographs (see # 3(4)(b) of the Act). Therefore, for this image, UK copyright expired in 1966. Photographs came under 70 pma rule as per # 4(1)(a) (4) and # 12(2) (5) of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, [as amended in 1995 (6),] but this came after the expiry of the copyright of the image under discussion. Hrishikes (talk) 15:21, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
@Hrishikes: I am not a lawyer, so I may misread the 1956 Act text, but I disagree with you. My understanding of # 3(4) is that the copyright is 50pma, but not shorter than 50 post publication for photographs. IMO, this section applies effectively to posthumously published photos only (they are copyrighted longer that 50 pma then). But this discussion should be in COM:VPC. Ankry (talk) 18:26, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: -- There is no case of posthumous here. Posthumous is applicable in the case of engraving, i.e., # 3(4)(a). In the proviso for photograph, no such thing is mentioned. This proviso effectively takes away photographs from the pma 50 rule for artistic works and gives the rule of 50 years since publication. Hrishikes (talk) 01:15, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
Hrishikes might be right about this. UK NGO Design and Artists Copyright Society says something similar. It seems to me as long as the photographer is not a citizen of any other EEA country and the photographs had not been published in EEA countries, (beware of Ireland which protects works for life+70,) UK photographs made before 1957 would be PD. Maybe the community can discuss this on COM:VP/C and amend COM:CRT/United Kingdom.--Roy17 (talk) 15:58, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
Moreover, Stoneman took the photograph for the firm, James Russell & Sons (see at 1), so it seems to be a case of corporate copyright. Hrishikes (talk) 16:10, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
COM:VPC is the right place to discuss this. If there is no mention about this rule in Commons:Copyright rules by territory/United Kingdom nor appropriate copyright template exists, we can do nothing here at the moment. Ankry (talk) 18:14, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
COM:VPC may be right place for discussing the individual copyright, but as I have stated above, this is a case of corporate copyright. The attribution at NPG indicates so. In that case, the pma rule cannot apply. Hrishikes (talk) 01:34, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
@Hrishikes: AFAIK, in UK corporate copyright also lasts 70pma (or 70 post publication, if the work is anonymous). But this also may be resolved in VPC as not mentioned in Copyright rules by territory.

File:Vowles(Pearce)margaretwinifredatschool.jpg

Please restore the following pages:

Reason:

  1. It is safe to assume the photo was taken before 1912-07-01, so Copyright Act 1842 applied.
  2. Duration was life+7 or publication+42, whichever is longer. For this photo, publication+42 was long over. (Distributing copies is publication under common law. When the photographer sold the photo to the person, s/he was distributing copies.)
  3. Subsequent UK copyright laws all have transitional provisions so works were considered under repealed laws, except The Duration of Copyright and Rights in Performances Regulations 1995 which restores copyright.
  4. It is safe to assume the photographer of a 1890s or 1900s photo did not live after 1988-12-31. (If s/he died on that date, copyright would expire after 1988+7=1995 and could not be revived.)
  5. URAA restoration is not possible if it was not protected on 1996-01-01.

Why don't you ask Christian Ferrer? Regards, Yann (talk) 13:54, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
Hello, this is quite old for me (some months) and I don't remember precisely this file, however the source that was provided [6] is copyrighted. As it is stated in this webpage the content comes partly from NASA and the National Science Foundation, however it is not said what part comes from the NASA, and what (or if) changes have been made. It is not clear to me why a PD tag should be applied to this image. Christian Ferrer (talk) 15:10, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
Indeed, it seems that Tim Pyle who is credited at the source page was employed by Caltech, not NASA. And as Caltech is not a government agency, their works are not free by default. Ankry (talk) 17:35, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
Yann, OK. Next time, I will talk to the deleting admin first.
Christian, the file was deleted today. The image can also be found at the Nasa website.
Ankry, Commons hosts 6 other images by Tim Pyle, Category:Artworks of exoplanets by Tim Pyle. 4nn1l2 (talk) 18:00, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
And their status should be investigated on the per image basis. They may be free, depending on copyright information at the source. What I suggest, they are likely not copyright-free and their status may depend on Caltech's permission. Ankry (talk) 08:49, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
  • I'm really sorry but there is something wrong here, I did not intended to delete this file, this is likely why I don't remember it and why I got confused with the dates. But the worse is that I don't understand how I deleted it. Let me explain : I just checked my logged actions at the precise time of deletion of this image 11:07, 6 July 2019, I was doing a mass deletion of files uploaded by this user (and this user have been noticed about that deletion, however they are not the uploader), and just after (with no other additional actions actions between) I blocked this user. This image have been deleted using VFC for the files uploaded by Nicholas Michael Halim. But I don't understand how it have been included because this user did not upload it or even edit it. Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:49, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
    Christian, this was most probably happened due to a VFC bug. The missing puzzle is File:Kepler-47 system.jpg uploaded by User:Nicholas Michael Halim and processed (deleted and redirected) by me as a duplicate. 4nn1l2 (talk) 19:38, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
OK thanks you. If there is no copyright issues, I'm of course not opposed to an undeletion, but I'm not a specialist of NASA works therefore I'm quite neutral. Note that if the file is not undeleted, so the other files in Category:Artworks of exoplanets by Tim Pyle should be nominated for deletion. And at the opposite if the others are not nominated for deletion so this one should be undeleted. Regards, Christian Ferrer (talk) 19:48, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

File:Anatolii Smîșleaev.png

I would like to clarity the situation regarding the photo of Anatolii Smîșleaev.

Since July some users have started to delete this photo because of Copyright violation: Converted from a speedy to regular DR to allow for discussion, as image had been found at Alamy.

But I would like to say, that this is my grandfather's photo and it is our family propriety. I put it on the page in 2013, so 6 year the picture have been on the article without any question, but now somebody has decided, that it is illegal here.

I really don't understand why do the people from this site sell it and for whom? In addition you can find 2 versions and 2 different authors of the photo, what justifies, that they stole it.

There is no Copyright violation on my part. A lot of sites have copied the image for their use, but only Alamy makes money on my picture and I become its victim in this situation!

If you need any profs, that I am the owner of the image, I can send you the full version of the photo and necessary information about it.

I kindly ask you to help me protect my rights: to put the picture back on the page, where it has been since 2013.

I strongly believe, that truth and justice will prevail.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

This is a city insignia of a township in Peru. I photographed it myself off of a publication by the city, and it's visibly displayed throughout the town that was founded more than 300 years ago. It's assumed to be old, a Coat of Arms of a township - should be in the public domain, no?

Thank you! Gentle (talk) 19:27, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

Please note also that, while the description of a coat of arms is usually in the public domain, any new painting or other rendition of the same insingnia by another artist sparks a new copyright. So we need evidence that this particular drawing was first published before 1976. De728631 (talk)

Hi there, my name is Arnaud Mariette and I just wanted to publish my own biography, full discographie and filmographie at the age of 30. So as an artist I just want the world what I have been through when I was a kid that I survived from a car crash at the age of 5 thanks to the Love of God and that's what push me up to the music to help desperate people around the world to never give up in life cuz everything is possible as long we got faith and believe in ourself cause I am an example of the Miacle of the Lord and a survivor.I'm not expecting any royalties, credits or whatsoever I just wanna share my own story like all the artists around the world with their own biography but I'm not familiar with copyrights policies so I don't really know which one is the best way for me and my story to be seen by the people. Please I'm begging you it really means a lot to me to be public and if you ready the introduction and very first pages of my stuff you will understand what I mean. But please don't deny me. Thank you so much in advance and have a nice day.

Take care,

Best regards

Criteria for undeletion:

  1. Probably PD files such as Ensign of the Kazakhstan Air Force.png ({{PD-KZ-exempt}}). Could be PD by exemption, PD by age, etc.
  2. Files that have been licence-reviewed.
  3. Files that have a URL as source, can be found on the source URL, belong to the source URL operator, and the source URL has a free licence. (Similar to File:Bershanskaya, Gelman, and Smirnova.png)

Reasons for undeletion:

  1. special:permalink/333890137#Deleted_photos_with_Creative_Commons_Attribution_4.0_license: according to User:Fighter Pilot, these files came from the website of the Ministry of defense of the Russian Federation ( http://mil.ru/ ).
  2. mil.ru does have a site-wide copyright notice © Все материалы интернет-портала Минобороны России доступны по лицензии Creative Commons Attribution 4.0.
  3. Commons consensus wrt mil.ru: Commons:Undeletion_requests/Archive/2019-03#File:Bershanskaya,_Gelman,_and_Smirnova.png.
  4. Jcb deleted the files without tagging them for SD or DR.

@Jcb: it would be very kind of you if you could undo your damage, please?--Roy17 (talk) 19:11, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

 Support At the very least for evaluation. Uploader seems to have only been noticed about 3 files. I wonder how the others were tagged. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 19:20, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
"As far as I can see, the files that I deleted had a source link to a different website. Also there was not license template." - Alexis Jazz ping plz 19:27, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - ordinary copyright violations, all presented as own work with a CC license, most too old to be own work of the uploader but too recent to be PD, or e.g. File:Shatalovo (air base).png, which is a Google Maps screenshot, also presented as own work with a CC license. Jcb (talk) 19:30, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
"all presented as own work with a CC license" - as the file pages are redlinks, people would tend to take your word for it. Once again, it has to be me who exposes these falsehoods. A role I don't particularly enjoy, because you never apologize or take responsibility for what you say. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 01:37, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Checking files at random:
File:Щучин аэродром.png - Yandex maps screenshot - even has watermark (!!!)
File:The area of responsibility of 19 the army air defense.png - Yandex map falsely claimed as own
File:Положение войск на 29 10 1941.png - Contemporary map with no source
File:2015 LBJ Liberty & Justice for All Award (23253948146).jpg - Flickr washing - credit per Flickr and metadata is "© Tony Powell". Tony Powell does not appear to be an employee of the LBJ Foundation and there is no evidence the latter has permission to release the image to the public domain. COM:OTRS would be needed.
File:Летчики 721 иап 1943 год.jpg - historical photo with bogus CC-by-SA 4.0 license, sourced to communa.ru, not mil.ru, which does not appear to reference CC licenses.
File:The prosecution Nevel groups 08 01.png - Contemporary map with no source
File:Каунасская операция 1944 год Положение войск на 3 августа 1944 года.png - Contemporary map with no source
File:Braunsberg offensive operation 29 03 1945.png - Contemporary map with no source
File:153 giap 02.jpg - historical photo with no license and sourced to soviet-aces-1936-53.ru, not mil.ru
No evidence deletion was abusive, or that there are enough errors to warrant undeletion for evaluation. To the contrary, the purports above are not factual and the premise is ignorant of COM:EVID. If there is evidence a particular file was deleted in err, it can be presented. Эlcobbola talk 19:39, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
Btw, File:Pashchevskii.png has a license review from Explicit. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 01:28, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
@Elcobbola: Almost all historic military photos from the Soviet era are owned by the Russian government, just check any archive like RGKAFD, TASS, RIAN, etc. The website soviet-aces-1936-53.ru is not a copyright owner of any photos, it merely republishes photos that can be found elsewhere on the internet, like goskatalog.ru, but never give attribution (same goes for a lot of Russian websites like polkmoskva.ru, etc; in fact, I have been trying to convince warheroes.ru to add required attributions to photos). The contemorary and yandex maps should stay deleted, but the historic Soviet military photos like 153 giap 02.jpg and the photos by the Russian government that were created by the Soviet and Russian administrations like the ones from [7] should be undeleted, and Jcb's admin privleges should be revoked.( Support)--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 03:06, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
"Almost all" is not an acceptable argument; you need to prove that for each photo separately. The goal of providing a source is to verify the copyright status, so providing a source that does not provide appropriate information and/or licensing is pointless. Also, providing false information may be a reason for deletion (eg. you claim that File:153 giap 02.jpg was made or first published in 2018; and if it was first published in 2018 it may copyrighted in US till 2113 (95 years since first publication, unless creation date is known) regardless of its copyright status in Russia. So without information about its author or (initial) publication date we cannot consider it free.
Also, making UDR with mixed rationale is pointless, as it cannot be properly handled. I suggest closing this request as not done and creating separate requests for photos that are clearly free in both: Russia and US and providing appropriate individual information that prove that. Ankry (talk) 15:52, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
The rationales are consistent. A sysop User:Jcb mass-deleted files out of process when many files have valid and live external sources. The uploader did make a request to challenge the deletion: special:diff/333829923, but s/he like most other users would not know the specific procedures on Commons well. This batch request was filed as serious doubts on validity of this particular batch deletion by Jcb have emerged. I explicitly listed the criteria for deletion for you to check. You are the only ones with access to the deleted files and descriptions. Now Alexis Jazz has put forward evidence (which should have come from sysops). In addition to mil.ru, kremlin.ru for example is a well-established source of free contents under CC-BY-4.0. It was absurd when only you could access the evidence you turned to non-sysops for it. Now that much evidence has been given, but it is up to you to decide if you insist on manipulating the process and bullying a clueless user like User:Fighter Pilot by closing the request.--Roy17 (talk) 16:38, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
Several admins actually looked at the files and all of them disagree with you sofar. Jcb (talk) 20:13, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: @Jcb: All photos produced by Soviet military photographers that have not reached the public domain are property of the Russian government, and it is legal for the Russian government to release their photos under free licences. Other websites (like soviet aces) are supposed to provide attribution to the russian government per the fair-use clause of russian copyright law, but the Russian government rarely demands the legally required attributions, and hence it is very, very common for russian websites to re-use government property photos without attribution. Files on commons don't have to be PD in both the US and source country IF the copyright holder released them under a permitted creative commons licence, which we saw with the historic photos. Photos taken by Russian government photographers (like the ones from russian military airshows) and all the Soviet-era photos from mil.ru (ie, all the ones that have to be either Russian government property or public domain) should be undeleted. In the case of File:153 giap 01.jpg, while it was first published in 2018, it is safe for undeletion because it is Russian government property and under a permitted creative commons licence.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 20:49, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
@4nn1l2 and Majora: Here goes Jcb again. I went above and beyond to add sources and have shown Jcb wasn't telling the truth. They were not "all presented as own work with a CC license", and in the face of undisputable evidence, Jcb simply turns to "Several admins actually looked at the files and all of them disagree with you sofar." This is why I'm pinging you. Jcb doesn't value the opinion of non-admins. He's also forgetting to mention that when Elcobbola and De728631 replied I hadn't added the sources yet. Meanwhile, Ankry requires Roy17 "to prove that[the image has a free license] for each photo separately", something Roy17 can't actually do because all the files are redlinks. That's what we need admins for. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 23:17, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for this evaluation. If I understand PlanespotterA320 correctly, even the images from non-government sites may be freely licensed, but probably need another source. Pinging @A.Savin as well who understands Russian. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 09:40, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
  •  Comment I undeleted the images mentioned above. I will work on the rest later. Files from external sources should get a license review. Regards, Yann (talk) 07:05, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
  • @Elcobbola: Well, I too was thinking of saying your random number generator is broken. Out of 115 files, 46 are from mil.ru, kremlin.ru or have a LR. Every time you randomly select a file, there's a 45% chance it'll be one of those. The odds of never hitting any of those 46 when selecting 9 files at random are about 0.44%. So, um, your random number generator seems to be broken. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 11:36, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
  • No, your understanding of statistics is broken. If I role a die three times and get 1-1-1, that does not mean my die is "broken" (unfairly weighted). You appear not to know what random actually means. Verily, even in this case, Planespotter believes my sampling found clear erroneous deletions by Jcb. Эlcobbola talk 11:44, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
  • If I flip a coin 9 times, there's a 0.2% chance I get 9 times heads with fair coin flips. Or 99.8% chance you shouldn't bet against me. Don't try to teach me statistics unless you understand them better than I do, which you clearly don't. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 12:11, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
  • And rolling 1-1-1 has a 0.46% of occurring. That must mean it's impossible, right? That is what you're implying: an unlikely outcome can only been explained by deceit or a broken process. Statistics are more than owning a calculator; even then, it's quaint that you think (1/2)^9 is the actual maths. Эlcobbola talk 13:00, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
I should have done the math on the dice rolls, I'll give you that. It's too bloody warm. But it changes nothing. I never said you had bad intentions. But your "random" isn't really random. You would likely follow some pattern. And you did. You evaluated files 108, 98, 90, 81, 72, 64, 53, 43 and 114. So you started at 108 and went down 8-11 each step. Not really "random", but fair enough. Except for the last step, obviously: instead of picking something from 32 to 35, you went with 114. Perhaps to save on scrolling, but in that case: not random. And of course: if you had picked 32-35, you'd have found a mil.ru picture. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 16:01, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
Then one wonders what the purpose of your comment was intended to be, especially when it began with "Well, I too..." following Yann's shameless piffle. As you see, to your credit--and Yann would have seen if he'd made any thought or effort--I started from the bottom of the list (114 in my comment was merely out of order), and clicked as I scrolled up--approximately every ten (why, it's almost as if my mouse has a 10-line scroll...)--and stopped when I felt I had enough--nine, as it turned out. This is convenience sampling and, commensurate to that informality, I used "random" colloquially--the methodology and sampling chosen without definite reason or statistical rigor. There was never a purport that this was anything but an informal check, which is perfectly reasonable in this context (UDR). And, if the non-application of stringent statistical theory and methodology here is the criticism, it is 1) not a reasonable expectation and 2) an irrelevant tangent. Эlcobbola talk 16:58, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
I wonder what the hostility was from your side; if you used "random" colloquially, don't wave statistics around when someone says you weren't very random. You escalated needlessly.--Prosfilaes (talk) 19:59, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
Indeed. The list is (I think) (mostly?) sorted by upload date, by stopping when they felt they had enough, Elcobbola somewhat gravitated towards more recent uploads. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 12:36, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
Many thanks for those kind-hearted and cooperative sysops.
At this point in time, 59 undeleted files (out of 115 requested, i.e. more than half) have matching live sources which are under acceptable licences. Among these 59, 1 is restricted by FoP and so DR-ed; I would not confirm 4 because I do not speak Russian and cannot deal with the intricate details. Another 1 is PD by law; 1 is PD-ineligible which can be easily traced to the original website. Plus the 1 restored before, that's 62/116 errors from Jcb the serial deletionist.
@Yann: if the photos are old enough for consideration like {{PD-RusEmpire}}, or if they are for example state emblems exempted by their original countries' laws, those could be deleted. Otherwise I have no opinion. It'd be up to Russian users and fans to argue for their cases. I was concerned about the well-sourced ones which you have restored. Thank you very much!--Roy17 (talk) 11:41, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
No, nothing is from before 1918, so PD-RusEmpire is not OK. Old images are from World War II time. Regards, Yann (talk) 11:52, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
For the record, User:Jcb's ill-informed unilateral deletion (because he did not trust a template created by a long-term abuser but he did not raise this problem on a discussion page first), special:diff/358252194 and special:diff/358477678 were uncooperative, brought damage to the project (causing massive delinking for example) and wasted the time and effort of the uploader, other editors who helped maintain the files and participants of this UDR.--Roy17 (talk) 11:41, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

✓ Done: as per above. It seems best to close this now, and eventually reopen UDR with fewer images, and more precise rationales. This would also avoid sidetrack discussions. --Yann (talk) 12:44, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: Was kept as {{PD-Italy}} so {{PD-1996}}. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 13:40, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Comment. While there are chances that a research may find information allowing the conclusion that it is indeed PD-Italy, it seems that no evidence was provided in the deletion discussions, because of the absence of the publication history or information about the original source. In the first deletion request, it was kept on an obviously irrelevant rationale. The essential missing information is when and where the first publication took place. This is necessary to justify a PD-Italy rationale. Hence the second deletion request, I guess, which underscored the absence of evidence and resulted in deletion. -- Asclepias (talk) 16:38, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
@Asclepias: "According to Law for the Protection of Copyright and Neighbouring Rights yadda yadda yadda are protected for a period of 20 years from creation" - Alexis Jazz ping plz 21:29, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
I know PD-Italy. (I remember the epic discussions from ten years ago about the template and about the nuances of its wording.) But you missed my point. The problem is not about the 20 years from creation, if and when it comes to computing the copyright duration. It is that the basic condition that a photo must meet to use PD-Italy on Commons is that there must be evidence that its country of origin is Italy. (The first sentence of the template PD-Italy states "The country of origin of this photograph is Italy".) In general (save rare exceptions), the country of origin of a photo is the country where it was published for the first time. The flickr album that includes this photo does not mention the source. It looks like it could be a series of photos taken by an Italian soldier, not necessarily an official army photographer. Were the photos in an official archive? Were they kept by the photographer and published much later? Were they in a recent book? The odds may be rather good that the photos were first published in Italy, but they could have been first published elsewhere. Evidence is necessary. Someone familiar with the topic will probably know or could find the source of the publication. In my first comment, I mentioned that essential information is when and where the first publication took place. The reason for the "where it was first published" is explained above. The reason for the "when it was first published" is that it must have been published before 1 March 1989 to be in the public domain in the United States. -- Asclepias (talk) 01:42, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 Support I don't see any reason to believe that a 1936 picture was not published long enough to be in the public domain in Italy and in the USA. Regards, Yann (talk) 04:07, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
You are saying that all photographs that exist and were taken many decades ago were all published? That's obviously not the case. If it was, we wouldn't have a template such as PD-US-unpublished. Unpublished photos do exist. Photos kept by photographers and their families can be published a long time after their creation. There are many reasons why photographs can be published long after their creation. To take only one example about the topic here, 1937 Cozzani photos remained unpublished in 2017, as specified there (video) and there (text). This report also mentions that it was frequent for many soldiers to take photos on a personal basis. There are other cases of similarly unpublished photos. Some surface from time to time. In the case of the photo discussed here, "File:Italian military emasculated Second Italo-Ethiopian War.jpg", the only information from the deletion request is the flickr album published in the 2010s in the United States under "all rights reserved". That is not enough. Looking at the album, I doubt that the Mussolini regime would have seen with approbation the publication of some of those photos at that time. It's not impossible that they remained unpublished and surfaced only much later. We don't know unless we have information. We can't just slap any status tag on any file just because we'd like to keep it. To place a country-specific PD tag, we need evidence that the file meets the requirement of that tag. E.g., to place PD-Canada tag on a file, we need evidence that it was first published in Canada. Etc. To place a PD-Italy tag on a file, we need evidence that it was first published in Italy. Which obviously means evidence that it was published, and that publication was first in Italy. That is always the requirement. That is nothing new. If there was a pre-1989 publication, it is not too much to ask from the uploader to do a research and to provide at least a clue to a source, an author, something. Now, there's nothing. -- Asclepias (talk) 14:48, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
Yes, it may not have been published in 1936. But if it was published before 1976, it is sufficient to be in the public domain in Italy and in the US. This is not a family album picture. It is photojournalism, even if it was taken by a soldier. So it is not reasonable to think it was never published in the 40 years period sufficient for us to host it. Regards, Yann (talk) 15:16, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
I'm a bit torn on this, if it's a reasonable assumption that they were published in Italy. They could certainly have been published as propaganda. We do have to make assumptions of country of origin all the time -- we don't always have initial publication info. Italy seems the most likely; even if unpublished for a time it is virtually certain they were taken by Italian photographers. PD-Italy is based on date of creation and not publication, meaning it would definitely be PD in Italy from 1956 or 1957. Publication would only be a question for the U.S. status, and as long as they were published before 1989 (without notice) they would be PD in the US as well. If they were Italian army (i.e. government) photos, publication may be a more nebulous question. Is there any indication that the Flickr source was the initial publication? Or did they just take them from another publicly-available source? The Alamy image looks like a different scan, meaning there are multiple copies of the image out there, meaning they were most likely published at some point before that. There is a theoretical doubt, sure, but I'm not sure it rises to the reasonable doubt required by COM:PRP. I don't have a problem assuming Italy is the country of origin. Lean  Support for me. If more information on provenance comes to light, we can always reconsider then. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:28, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 Support. From flickr there is a large batch of similar style. It could be assumed some photographer took them. Would that be a non-Italian and s/he brought the negatives to another country and developed them there? Quite unlikely. So the country of origin is quite safely Italy and so PD-1996 for US.--Roy17 (talk) 12:20, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Locator maps of Latvian parishes

In deletion request original uploader (re)confirmed that they are the author of the following maps. Also evidence was provided that public source data of these maps is open data. Author has released their maps to public domain, they are a prolific mapmaker and administrator on Latvian Wikipedia. In response to my recent enquiry they say that they a professional cartographer. Years ago they have documented their mapmaking process here. So there seems to be more than enough reason to assume good faith that these maps are not copyright violations.

Nominator in their laconic remarks in turn did not provide any evidence that there are some other non-free maps that these maps might be derived from. Closing admin in their post-closure response doesn't seem to know either why should we doubt about the freedom of these maps. Hopefully this is a misunderstanding and these maps can be restored. Or, if not else, then hopefully now we can shed at least some light on why were these maps deleted, and why shouldn't we delete pretty much all other maps on Commons in similar manner (as we are never 100% sure that everything is alright copyright-wise).

--Pikne 07:25, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

I've now also imported the original vector image (by the same author) that locator maps of individual parishes are based on. In file description I referred to open data by government agency (as above), similar to maps like this that make reference to public/open source data. I also made reference to this base map in file descriptions of serveral maps from the same series that have been transferred to Commons over the years (e.g. here). Hopefully that'd be enough to make things clear and to avoid further misunderstandings. Can we now restore or reimport File:Prauliena Parish (LocMap).png and the rest mentioned in DR no. 2? Pikne 06:55, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
I support re-importing or restoration, whichever is better for archival purposes. Because if all the maps look like File:Turku pagasts LocMap.png, they are not too complex as User:Jcb claimed in the DR. No valid reason for deletion in the first place.--Roy17 (talk) 12:12, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
Well, complex or not, the author has released these maps to public domain. The main reason why I believe these files should be restored is that there is no evidence whatsoever of some other actual cartographic work that these maps could be derived from, and also, source data, though probably subject to only non-copyright rights, is open data.

It appears that this was speedy deleted due to the license on Flickr being CC-BY-ND.

You can only wait until the permission is processed by an OTRS volunteer (who will either undelete the image themself, or requests undeletion here, or email you asking for more information).

File:Lambang Pertubuhan Muafakat Sejahtera Masyarakat Malaysia.svg

I recently received a notice on my talk page regarding an image in which I uploaded to Wikimedia Commons (File:Lambang Pertubuhan Muafakat Sejahtera Masyarakat Malaysia.svg), where it was said to be a copyright violation. This isn't true as the image mentioned was illustrated by myself with the permission from the Public Relation Officer (PRO) of Pertubuhan Muafakat Sejahtera Masyarakat Malaysia (MUAFAKAT)'s TV Al-Najiyah, Mr. Muhammad Amar bin Mohd Amin, whom I contacted on the 9th of July 2018 at 4:36PM (MYT), and the permission was given to me on the same day at 4:39PM.

I was also granted permission by the same person to create an article on Wikipedia about Pertubuhan Muafakat Sejahtera Masyarakat Malaysia (MUAFAKAT) and do anything necessary to fill in as much information regarding this non-governmental organisation, including to use the logo in which I illustrated on Wikipedia and on Wikimedia Commons.

The same goes to its PNG counterpart (File:Lambang Pertubuhan Muafakat Sejahtera Masyarakat Malaysia.png) which was also marked as a copyright violation, even though I was the person who illustrated the image, and I was also given the permission by Mr. Muhammad Amar to use the image for the purpose of usage on sites Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia.

If needed, I can contact Mr. Muhammad Amar and request for an official permit of usage for the image.

Thanks. EmpAhmadK (talk) 05:14, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

@EmpAhmadK: Any contract concerning copyright must be in a written form; invalid otherwise. And a free license declaration is a contract. Also, claiming that you are the logo author and own copyright to it, while you actually do not, is copyright violation. In order to undelete the logo, we need a free license permission from authorized representative of the copyright holder, following COM:OTRS instructions or a free license declaration concerning the logo on their official website.

I am authorized by the photographer of the picture to upload it here - and John David - the person in the photo - is right behind me at the moment... So the question is: what can we do to restore the image - or do we have to make a completely new image that hasn't been used on the web yet?

--Peter98142 (talk) 14:58, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

Permission to upload a photo is useless if the photographer does not grant a free license for the photo (must be in a written form). Also, claiming that you are the photographer while you are actually not, is illegal.
As the subject does not seem to be notable (has a Wikipedia article about this person already been accepted?) nor he is a significant Wikimedia contributor, his private photo may be out of scope. Ankry (talk) 19:05, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

(Writereditor2019 (talk) 09:03, 28 July 2019 (UTC))

 Oppose @Writereditor2019: As the image was published earlier on imdb, you cannot grant license using on-wiki licensing-at-upload process (this is available only to unpublished images uploaded by the photographers). And as there is no free license declaration on imdb, we need COM:OTRS free license permission from the actual copyright holder (together with copyright transfer evidence if the copyright holder is not the photographer).

File:Hector_Terrones_Corset.jpg

Hello, the image in question belongs to Hector Terrones personal archive, who is, in fact, the copyright holder of such picture. He sent the permission to permissions-es@wikimedia.org yesterday, at the few minutes the pic was uploaded. Curiously, Hector didn't know about the site which has been referenced to in order to proof the alleged copyright infraction, which, should be said, did upload a cropped version of the pic in order not to show the model's face. Considering we have the explicit permission of Hector, and that we uploaded a full, high resolution version of that pic, I consider it should be restored.

Best regards. --CardidSansa (talk) 19:39, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

@CardidSansa: We need to wait until the permission is processed and accepted as for any already published or professional photo as well as for any photo not uploaded directly by the author. Note, that if the copyright holder is not the photographer, we may also need an evidence of copyright transfer contract. Having a photo in a personal archive is not such evidence. Ankry (talk) 06:16, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

Ok, but the photographer is dead, and we don't have his actual name, just a friendly nickname we used to refer him. Anyways, it is worthy to mention this picture belongs to his archive since it was part of an advertisement of Hector's company. How can we proof his copyright ownership? Hope you can help me figure this out. Thank you, greetings.--CardidSansa (talk) 06:00, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

How do you know that the photographer is dead if you do not know their name? Also, everybody has heirs who own copyright until it expires. If we do not get free license from the actual copyright holder, we has to wait until copyright expires in both country of origin and US. And the expiration terms varies; eg. in US for photos made by unidentified photographers it is 95 years since initial publication or 120 years from creation. If this is a pseudonymous Mexican work (initially published in Mexico), we have to assume that copyright lasts 100 years since the initial publication and that it belongs to the photographer heirs unless we know about a copyright transfer contract concerning work for hire (which may affect copyright ownership, but not copyright lenght term).

This picture is my original artwork. I created the painting composition. I took a snapshot of my artwork with my own Camera and posted to Wikimedia with my own Computer. I have cross-checked and now reaffirm that the information I gave about my artwork is correct. Please do I need any permission from an Art Institution or another researcher or someone else to post a picture that belongs to me? Should I acknowledge myself several times to show that it is my property of art, entirely created by me? I need further clarification on this nomination. I am a versatile artist. I own and run an art studio. I have been practicing for more than twenty years. I create artworks in a variety of forms. Ranging from paints, mixed media and multimedia to digital production, my artworks weave a tapestry of memory, emotion, aesthetic appeal and cryptic cultural critique. I produce and sell artworks which include painting, mixed media, photography, drawing and graphic design. Having carried out series of research in visual art, I felt the need to put up my work for other researchers to use in their study. Please consider my appeal.

The uploader Jamimarie at Liaden Wiki does not seem to be connected to the copyright holder of the image. Also, a book is not a useful article as mentioned in 17 US Code §113. The definition reads: "A 'useful article' is an article having an intrinsic utilitarian function that is not merely to portray the appearance of the article or to convey information. An article that is normally a part of a useful article is considered a 'useful article'." [17] Books and their covers are not utilitarian. De728631 (talk) 16:12, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
