Image upload[edit]

I wish to add an image of a town parish map (Sea Lake) which I understand to be in the public domain. But I did not draw it. May I? AndiJoan (talk) 03:09, 29 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@AndiJoan: Hi, and welcome. What can you tell us about the name and lifetime of the copyright holder?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 15:22, 29 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hi Jeff, the map was drawn by a government surveyor over a century ago, and so I understand is out of copyright. (A National Library of Australia entry says, "Maps published in or before 1954 are free of copyright".) The map in question is freely available for download, and so I have entered a link in the entry I made. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Lake#cite_note-8 ) But the map itself is not on display, so I cannot make a link to the image itself.

Public domain picture watermarked by Alamy?[edit]

Why does this image have ALAMY WATERMARK when it is marked CCO [This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights]?

  • Unfortunately, Alarmy (and Getty Images) sometimes engage in false statements of copyright of media which are clearly legally Public Domain. See en:w:Copyfraud.

Thanks, however, it can't be used with their mark all over it. The first time I'm seeing this. I didn't know that anyone could get a free image especially coming the public domain, and mark it their own HeyChris23 (talk) 23:32, 31 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@HeyChris23: Public domain basically means you can do whatever the heck you want with it, except as might be limited by non-copyright considerations. - Jmabel ! talk 00:11, 1 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I know. But you don't take it off and rebrand it your own so that you can prevent others from use it freely.
It's ok to make your own version out of it but to take the original out completely for your own gain is greed.
I think the next thing to include in the licensing of a PD is to leave a note that the original can me copied, remodeled but can't be taken out completely for personal gain.
For God's sake, someone put their work there to benefit others and a greedy one comes and claim ownership. That's not smart!

@HeyChris23: It's their business model. They offer high-resolution copies to people who are willing to pay. -- Asclepias (talk) 01:01, 1 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@HeyChris23: The image is in the public domain, so they can do whatever they want with their copy, including putting a watermark to indicate that they are the source of this copy, or mixing it with another image if they feel like it. It is not marked CC0. It is marked public domain. -- Asclepias (talk) 23:14, 31 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Ok, thanks. Whatever happened to the original copy? How did they come about their watermarked image? HeyChris23 (talk) 23:27, 31 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

How to share my image?[edit]

This is the image: fy:W:Ofbyld:Kladblok.png
This is the result: Currently, I can't share the image on Commons.
Background: Someone in the past "didn't understand the language of the Wiki he stole files from". Let's keep it at that. I largely gave up on the file sharing issue, as it clearly resulted in illegal images. But by know, I expect you figured out how to deal with such things, so I'm trying to upload a simple image, and hopefully we'll find out what you did.
(I expect I mis-coded the images link, but the information is there; it's just that newstyle comments don't let me see.) Aliter (talk) 18:09, 2 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Indeed, Kladblok. I never saw any specific need to share it beyond fy:W, but it may serve a purpose here. Plus, there might be other notepads that need a heading. So, it works if you pretend that Commons is in everybody's namespace? Does that work for everything, or do I do need it for other projects? fy:Wikt:Sanna does use the project. So, how does this work if I explicitly do want to say Wikipedia? But, yes: That one. Aliter (talk) 21:01, 2 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Not sure what you mean by "I can't share the image on Commons." If you are just saying that Commons cannot see the image on a different wiki, that is absolutely true. Other WMF wikis can use images that are on Commons, but not vice versa. But, assuming that the licensing on fy-wiki is valid, there is no reason in the world that you couldn't upload it to Commons, presumably using {{CC-0}} in place of a license. - Jmabel ! talk 20:50, 2 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
You have some sort of a scheme for getting Commons to find images on other mediawiki, as I understand it. Just like uploading from your desktop, if it's not the desktop it's on. That's all I know, and that it said it couldn't get it. I hope it's unrelated to the earlier problems, as that means you (you-all) found a way to resolve the chaos at Fy:, or at least accepted it as an issue not worth bothering about. But if here's my innocence of those times resurfacing: If it doesn't allow me to upload it, I assume it means it doesn't want to upload it, and if I down- and up-load it's going to complain I'm creating a copy. Of course, I am. The image on Fy: is as close to an original as it's going to get. Unless some broken down computer here holds some graphics files, there will not be anything more original than what Fy: have. So, what I am trying to do, I guess, is to get Commons to recognise that is has the right to do so. (See, the difference between sharing in PD, and actually sharing with everybody: I declared it PD, since I couldn't declare it free of rights. As a result, I am still its caretaker.) Well, did I blabber away enough to get you an idea of the problem? Feel free to ask me again tomorrow. Aliter (talk) 21:26, 2 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The Frysk Wikipedia (that is obviously about the Frysk language of northern Netherlands, and not about the version of Frysk spoken in Northern Germany) claims on its main page that it is GNU/FDL licensed (it also includes the note at the bottom that it is cc-by-sa-3.0). Many information looks heavily outdated. (And the image in question appears not to be specially interesting). --C.Suthorn (talk) 22:23, 2 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yes? You must be German to make that comment. I didn't say "Frysk" anywhere, and even so in Northern Frsian they call it "Northern" and either "Frees" or "Friis". Their pronunciation of the name is with a long vowel. It's only here in the west that we say "Frysk", with a short vowel. But what I did say was "fy:", which is clearly not a way to spell "Frr:". Still, I'll note on a talk page that there are people who would like a clearer indication of Frysk being Frysk. Where does it say that the front page is "GNU/FDL", where does it say it is any form of CC, as I don't see that either, and which one would be the current license and can we get there from what we claim to be? Yes, FY: is a small W:, and today I would not have tried to breath life into it. Still, is that a reason for some ten users to stop working on it? What would help would be, being specific. "Much information looks seriously outdated" doesn't even tell me if you're complaining about us being unable to keep up with "We think we will force you to learn things anew." or about the world not stopping while we try to catch up. And what part of "I never saw any specific need to share it beyond fy:W, but it may serve a purpose here." is giving you problems? Still, if you're volunteering to help get the Wiki less far behind, just say so. Aliter (talk) 18:22, 3 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Aliter: I'm almost completely confused. Instead of talking about what Commons "knows" or what some unidentified entity has prevented you from doing in the past: what is it that you want to accomplish? Do you want this file transferred to Commons, or are do you want something else and, if so, what? - Jmabel ! talk 02:15, 3 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

A bit of a puzzle. OK, let's say: I would like fy:Ofbyld:Kladblok.png to become addressable by all mediawiki. Aliter (talk) 18:22, 3 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I think he wants the picture to stay on Frysk wikipedia and not on Commons Trade (talk) 02:24, 3 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yet, she says "I'm trying to upload a simple image". But you're right in the sense that I want the image on Fy: to remain available as the original. I have seen too many images on Commons that had become unsourced, as they were uploaded from their W: (see, that's the thing I try to do), to Commons with the W:-version specified as the original, after which the W: deleted that original, since it now was on Commons. Right; back to checking plurals on fy:Wikt:. See you tomorrow. Aliter (talk) 18:22, 3 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Exporting an image to Commons
I assume "Export to Commons" is what you are looking for. The export retains all the version history of a media file when moving the image to commons. I have checked, your image in fy shows the export tab, you can simply use it. That is, if I assume correctly what you are after. If you do you will absolutly need to attach a machine readable license template to it (there is non in your image at fy. At commons a bot would mark it for deletion within an hour). And I don't know if dutch law actually allows to declare a work that meets the treshhold of originalty to be declared PD (If yes, you can use one of the PD templates, otherwise you could use cc-zero). C.Suthorn (talk) 18:41, 3 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
A quick reply as this resulted in the message I didn't see on Commons. Cl, icking that tab results in: "This file cannot be imported to Wikimedia Commons because it is not marked with a compatible licence. Wikimedia Commons does not allow such files. This might be resolvable, but most probably means the file is not compatible. Please consult the Wikimedia Commons community policy and talk pages about licensing.". That was the one. Obviously, someone who has not done this before, will basically not know what the writers are talking about, and will get ganged upon by three for saying "Frisian" even if fact they don't, etc. Yes, I expect you're assuming correctly, as it would explain why I could not find what function on Commons was causing this effect. So, this would suggest in the early days of new license, this did not work as it does now. (I may have to modify my comments on my talk page about that, it this turns out to work now.) So, now that we determined what the problem was: What do we need to change it? I'm not sure how this would even work for an old license with many authors, but for now, we're looking at something simple: One author. What will we need? And it's time for groceries, so I expect I'll see you again tomorrow. Aliter (talk) 19:22, 4 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Aliter: as was said above, given that you were the author in the first place and given your intention to put this in the public domain, use {{CC-0}}, which is the cleanest way to fulfill that intention or, if it legally can't be placed in the public domain, give equivalent rights. - Jmabel ! talk 00:28, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Jmabel: There appears to be no such template on fy:.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 06:41, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Jeff G.: even if it's not on fy-wiki, there's nothing to stop placing {{CC-0}} on the page, which is presumably what the transfer code will check. - Jmabel ! talk 17:41, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
So, actually using a specific Public Domain template is a problem, but some code <nowiki>{{CC-0}}</nowiki>, which in itself has no meaning is preferable? OK, I'll see what we can do. Aliter (talk) 19:43, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Jmabel: I tried, that didn't work. :(   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 21:34, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Weird. Pinging @Aliter, are you concerned to have the history on Commons contain anything beyond what date you first uploaded to fy-wiki? I'm presuming not, since you had intended to dedicate this as PD, anyway. - Jmabel ! talk 23:46, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
So, is it really so much of a saving of time, to delete my message even though it is clearly relevant to the topic but I just lost my cookie. (What ever the local term is.)
So what is template "pinging" supposed to differently from just using @ ? But I don't know what you're asking. Jeff demonstrated typical foreigners behaviour, by coming in to try something on our wikipedia, without bothering to tell US if it was a success or a failure, no apology, nothing. Are you surprised people at Fy: assume that anything from elsewhere will cause a problem? But, Jmabel, I don't know whether you are asking if I consider a test-case not functioning as a test-case being a problem. Obviously I would. So, I would expect there must be some significance in the test Jeff performed. So, you judge it as "Weird". Should I still continue trying to get permission for your CC-0 message, or has that train of testing broken down? Aliter (talk) 22:40, 7 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Aliter: there are no deep differences between {{Ping}}, {{Pinging}}, {{Re}}, overt link to user page with or without "@", and several other ways to tag someone in a message. The only thing I can think of is that some of these (e.g. {{Ping}}) automatically put a colon after the link.
We established (above) that the automated method will not work to move this particular file to Commons. I gather that you still want it moved. What I am asking is whether you are concerned about preserving its history in the version that ends up on Commons, beyond crediting you and indicating what date you first uploaded to fy-wiki? If that suffices, then it's pretty easy to do the move by other means. If not, then this has been all sufficiently out of proportion to an effort to move a not terribly important file to Commons that I think I'm done trying to help with this one. - Jmabel ! talk 23:17, 7 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Copyright question[edit]

Are we allowed to upload photos like this one if the website says that the artist's artworks are in the public domain as stated here? Just making sure. Wow (talk) 01:31, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Wow That piece is likely a derivative work of another – likely non-free – photo featuring Reagan, and thus, unlikely to be allowed.
In the USA, a PD dedication like this is probably OK. Public Domain dedication outside of that is… complicated… depending on where a particular work is created, or (re)used, and some countries do not recognize such dedications at all. Countries such as France, do not allow one to waive their moral rights, for example, and would require something like a CC0 license applied to the original work. I believe Germany may be similar to France, but don't know enough about those legal frameworks or jurisprudence. --dsprc (talk) 03:17, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
If you were to look at the website besides simply the public domain statement, you would find that the photo in question is an American work, and is directly from the art collective's website - thus, they own the photo and have released into the public domain. Verifying this is easy and takes less than a minute if you deign to do so.Jaydenwithay (talk) 03:39, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

SVGs dont render properly in their previews. Why?[edit]

The title says my question, so I'll say it again.

When looking at this file's History, I found out that the rendering was glitched for some reason on the preview. I remember a even worse glitch happened on the Qing Empire's flag too! Even the Naval Jack of the USA isn't safe!

What in the world is going on here? Why is this happening? Is this being fixed or not?

(I tried to look at it using Firefox. No dice. [i use arch btw] I then used Safari on my iPad. Fail. It's consistent on everything.) Kxeon (talk) 03:52, 6 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Kxeon: It's consistent in all browsers, because the previews are just plain old PNGs. The problem is that Wikimedia Commons' SVG renderer, which creates the PNGs, doesn't render elliptical arc commands correctly, when an arc flag is next to another number without any space, comma or negative sign between them. You can circumvent this problem by using your favorite SVG editing software to re-encode the paths. We've known about this problem since at least 2019, but it always takes a while for bug fixes to make their way through the pipeline. Nothing to worry about. TilmannR (talk) 19:22, 6 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oh, the Naval Jack had a different rendering bug caused by "A use element xlink:href links to another use element". You can find lists of common SVG problems at Help:SVG, en:Wikipedia:SVG_help and Commons:Commons_SVG_Checker/KnownBugs. TilmannR (talk) 19:40, 6 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Canadian buildings with microwave antennas on the roof[edit]

I'm trying to expand the article on DATAPAC, a microwave-relay data network in Canada. During the 1980s it was common to see dozens of dishes connecting financial company buildings to the network, and in Toronto the most connected was First Canadian Place whose roof was covered in them. I have looked through various categories on Toronto buildings, microwave connections and First Canadian Place, but I cannot find an image from that era that shows the roof.

These were just as common on other buildings across Canada, I'm sure there are examples in Montreal and Calgary that would be just as iconic. But I don't know these cities nearly as well. If anyone reading this is from those areas and remembers that era, perhaps you might suggest some images I could look at? Thanks!

Transparent PNGs do not render in various image viewers[edit]

I tried to share the Wikipedia article for "Robin Hood" - but the image used there is a transparent PNG - which renders on several popular graphics viewers and editors as a black square.

So, I use Paint.NET to convert this image to a (non-transparent) JPEG. I was tempted to upload the resulting image but hesitate because this image is widely used. Do others agree that the transparent (why transparent?) PNG should be replaced with a non-transparent image that renders on all graphic viewers and editors?

Enquire (talk) 22:52, 6 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Jmabel: The issue is that transparent PNG images do not render as expected in some graphics programs, or when sharing on social media. I am not sure if the issue is specific to transparent PNG or if the same issue arises, say, for a transparent GIF. So, perhaps you would be kind enough to explain why a PNG could not be replaced with a JPG. I am not sure if the issue is with PNG or transparency - I suspect it is the latter. If so, replacing the transparent PNG with an opaque PNG would, presumably resolve the issue. Uploading a "derivative" JPG would be beside the point, especially if the issue that I raised at the outset is not resolved.
Enquire (talk) 02:14, 8 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Enquire: uploading a new version of a file only works with the same filetype. Yes, you can upload an opaque PNG over a transparent PNG, and in this case I can't really see any good reason for it to have been transparent in the first place. Pinging @Beleg Tâl, is there any particular reason for that? - Jmabel ! talk 04:40, 8 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It is transparent so that it can be displayed correctly regardless of the colour of the background. Lots of people have custom skins to view Wikisource with a greyish or greenish background to prevent eye strain. Even the default Wikisource skins have slightly different shades of off-white backgrounds. Beleg Tâl (talk) 23:41, 9 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
By the way: "several popular graphics viewers and editors" is kind of vague and doesn't let anyone else look into the problem. When reporting things like this, it's really useful to give an example. - Jmabel ! talk 04:44, 8 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Yhyhyhyhy. That would depend on various things. It's best to assume that most images you find online are protected by copyright and then work from there as explained in COM:NETCOPYVIO. If you can provide a link for the images you want to use, then it might be easier for someone to give you a more detailed assessment. Without knowing more about the images, the best answer anyone can probably give is that most likely you shouldn't upload them to Commons. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:34, 7 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
In other words, and admittedly slightly less polite (but I think clearer): when a random person says something is "not copyrighted," they are usually showing that they don't know much about copyright, not that the thing in question is not copyrighted. So please indicate what images you are talking about. - Jmabel ! talk 16:13, 7 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Request to delete temporary file[edit]

I needed to replace File:Cifrão_symbol.svg with a revised version (currently at File:Cifrão_symbol-temp.svg to facilitate verification before committing, as this image is widely used.) That work is complete (see template talk:dollar2 on en.wiki) and I have replaced File:Cifrão_symbol.svg with the new version. Consequently there is a file duplication warning. The test version, Cifrão_symbol-temp.svg, may now be deleted, please. John Maynard Friedman (talk) 10:42, 7 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@John Maynard Friedman: I think the right thing to do in this case is to tag it with {{Duplicate}}, which requests that the file be deleted and replaced with a redirect to another copy. So use the "edit" link on File:Cifrão_symbol-temp.svg and add {{duplicate|Cifrão_symbol.svg|Please delete temporary duplicate used for testing}}. You might also request deletion under speedy deletion criterion G1 (test page) or G7 (own unused recent upload), but I don't think those would be as appropriate. --bjh21 (talk) 13:51, 7 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

If you are asking can you offer your own photographs under some license on Shutterstock and also upload them under a free license here on Commons, yes, you can, though if you place it on that other site first you should go through the process described at COM:VRT to establish that it is your own work.
  • In general, we cannot accept third-party images coming from Shutterstock, etc., because they do not offer licenses compatible with the requirements of COM:L.
  • I have no idea what you mean by listing various version numbers for a "kind of copyright". Copyright doesn't have a version number.

  • @Davey2010: I'm not sure what you mean by "replace a copyrighted map on a Commons image." Generally, any "copyrighted map" on Commons should be free-licensed, so there should be no particular reason to replace it.

Hi Yhyhyhyhy. Most TV commercials are likely going to be protected by copyright; so, it's best to assume that this one is too and work from there. Where did you find the commercial if it's lost?

I found it in the lost media wiki

Anyways The commercial in question had Wallace and Gromit riding on their motorbike with a stunt team of sheep (similar to their animated short A Close Shave). They hit a tortoise (which bears a striking resemblance to Frank the Tortoise from Creature Comforts, another Aardman/Nick Park creation) and they all fall off but then land again in a vertical line with Wallace and Gromit on top, Shaun at the bottom steering and the tortoise on Shaun's head serving as a helmet.

The commercial might've been uploaded to YouTube, but it's not really from YouTube unless YouTube is claiming to be the original creator of the commercial. Content uploaded to YouTube is very often not OK for Wikipedia or Commons because it stuff usually uploaded by someone other than the original copyright holder without the consent of the original copyright holder. If you found the commercial on an official Wallace & Gromit YouTube channel that controlled by the copyright holders of Wallace & Gromit, then maybe there's a chance that it could be OK for Wikipedia or Commons; if it's just a YouTube channel controlled by some fan or some random person, then there's pretty zero chance that it would be OK for Wikipedia or Commons. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:26, 11 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

If by "someones's contributions" you mean a Commons user (account) contributions, that would be a different question than what could be understood of the original question. Depending what you are looking for, e.g. Special:Contributions/WineMel for a complete list of all types of non-deleted contributions (replace "WineMel" with the username), or the same refined for specific namespaces, or the same refined by dates, or Special:ListFiles/WineMel for a list of non-deleted files, or Special:Log/WineMel for a list of all uploaded files including deleted files, or search with username + keyword for a specific topic.

Whether it's a publicly traded company is not relevant here. Per Commons licensing policy we would either need evidence that the copyright owner released the logo under a free license (no such evidence seems to exist) or you need to show that the logo is "in the public domain in at least the United States and in the source country of the work". In this specific case the company is conveniently located in the United States, so you can look up "COM:TOO USA" to find that it's a country with a relatively high threshold of originality. Since Crowedstrike logo.png consists only of text and two wavy lines, it's almost certainly below the threshold and therefore in the public domain. I used the {{PD-textlogo}} template to fill in the missing licensing information, and since the logo happens to be a trademark, I also added the {{Trademarked}} template.

@Arnhwy: Welcome to Wikimedia Commons! You can use the Upload Wizard to upload files, but please be aware of the licensing policy: Either the logo needs to be sufficiently simple to be in the public domain or you need to provide evidence that the copyright holder of the file released it under a free license (i.e. modification and commercial re-use of the image are allowed). If evidence for a free license is not publicly available, you can send evidence to the Volunteer Response Team instead. If the logo is not freely licensed, you are not allowed to upload it here, but you might be able to upload it directly onto Wikipedia as "fair use" (see Wikipedia:Non-free content). TilmannR (talk) 14:17, 12 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It wouldn't be surprising if there were a photo of him that is in the public domain, but it also wouldn't be surprising if there isn't. - Jmabel ! talk 00:55, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hi Mr. Gibberish. A news article using it wouldn't necessarily make the photo public domain. Is there any information about the photo (e.g. where it comes from) included in the article. Sometimes newspapers and news websites will attribute the sources of photos they use in their articles. Not being watermarked also would not necessarily make the photo public domain. Whether a photo is in the public domain can depend on many things; for example, who took the photo, where they took it, when they took it, when it was first published, is the photographer dead, when did they die, and so on. In addition, Commons will require the photo to be public domain not only under US copyright law, but also the copyright law of the country where the photo was first published. This can be hard to assess without knowing more about the en:provenance of the photo. Perhaps you can provide a link to the news article where the photo is being used? This might help someone figure out whether the photo is OK for Commons. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:01, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The news article was published on October 20th, 2010 but the photo was taken Circa 1918

There is a photo of a book called "The Red Corner" In the upper right hand corner there is a right arrow that you should click twice to see the photo of him. Mr. Gibberish (talk) 01:30, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Also on page 51 in the book. On page 69 of the book, there is a photo of him, published on 30 september 1930. -- Asclepias (talk) 02:36, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
OK, so one thing we can say for sure: the picture published in 1930 will certainly be in the public domain starting 1 January 2026. Further, it is most likely in the public domain now, because it is very unlikely that anyone renewed copyrights for Producers News, which in that era in the U.S. would have been necessary to preserve copyrights past 1958 (28 years). I know there is a way to verify non-renewal, but for that era I'm not sure how to do it. Carl, sorry to bother you on this but I imagine you would know exactly what to do to work this out.
Also, if we could establish that the "circa 1918" photo was published in the U.S. any time up to including 1927, that would put it in the public domain. - Jmabel ! talk 03:04, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Mr. Gibberish: that means you can upload it as {{PD-US-not renewed}}. - Jmabel ! talk 06:14, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Mr. Gibberish: It appears that the book is a few days off about the date of publication of this issue of the newspaper, which actually was 19 September 1930. The Library of Congress has a collection of the newspaper, viewable online. This issue can be viewed there. As could be expected, there does not seem to be a copyright notice. This means the photo is in the public domain for this reason and if it is uploaded to Commons the template PD-US-no notice can be used. It is possible that other photos of this person could be found in other issues of the newspaper. -- Asclepias (talk) 14:27, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Delete Account[edit]

@EthanBGamer1: Commons:FAQ#How do I close my account? TilmannR (talk) 14:04, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Accounts at any Wikimedia-site (including commons and wikipedia) cannot be deleted at all. You can ask for your account to get renamed (but all your edits will be associated with your new user name). You can request to delete all pages in your own user name space. You can blank all pages in your user name space. You can retire your account (for example by forgetting your password or setting it to something you will not remember). You can ask (while still logged in!) an admin to block your account with the rationale retired account. You can post a message on your user page "retired account". You can delete the email address from your account (but without an email addresse there is no way to set back the password and you will be locked out of the account forever unless you remember the password).

+1 - Deleting your email would be rather extreme and it's not something I would recommend, If you're getting harassing emails you can set up filters so future emails could go to spam/trash but of course that can be bypassed, failing that create a disposable email address via your email and use it here. –Davey2010Talk 16:25, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Die Wikimailfunktion kann in den Einstellungen komplett deaktiviert werden, dazu ist es nicht nötig die Email-Adresse aus dem Account zu löschen. Wenn ein Hater die Email-Adresse bereits hat, bringt es nichts, diese im Account zu löschen. Hier ging es aber um das Löschen des Acccounts - was nicht geht. Was aber geht ist das Löschen der Email-Adresse aus dem Account. Das ist nützlich, wenn Wikipedia gehackt wird, weil der Cracker dann keine Email-Adresse findet, die er auf dem Darknet posten könnte. C.Suthorn (talk) 17:50, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Summarizing the above, User:C.Suthorn is basically saying that the one good reason to remove the email address from your account is if you are concerned about Wikimedia Commons being hacked and your email address being obtained that way. - Jmabel ! talk 19:22, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I just noticed that the user asking this question appears to have no other contributions on Commons. Right now, the tool that would let me look for global contributions is down. Pinging @EthanBGamer1, if you really haven't done anything on WMF projects then, sure, remove your email as well, and expect that if you come back you'll start an account under a new name. No one is going to have something important to communicate to you about an account with no significant activity ever. - Jmabel ! talk 19:26, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It is of course possible that the account was set up just to ask this question, with the issue being some other account not to be disclosed. As for the e-mail, there is a setting in your preferences about allowing people to send you e-mail, as C.Suthorn writes above. There are also settings for whether to get alerts by e-mail. If you disable all those, you won't get any e-mail messages, but can still use your e-mail to change your password and thus make any other changes you want (such as requesting deletion or undeletion of your user pages). –LPfi (talk) 16:25, 14 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Is Psycho (1960) in the public domain?[edit]

I'd like to check before potentially uploading a clip from the movie, to help the Wikipedia page. I've been researching for all of about five minutes, and I can't find anything concrete, saying yes or no--except for one page, saying that all Alfred Hitchcock films are under copyright until 2050. Klee Bakudan (talk) 19:46, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • @Klee Bakudan: I literally cannot imagine a reason this would be in the public domain. Why would you think it even might be? - Jmabel ! talk 22:17, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Hitchcock died in 1980, so if we naively apply the "70 p.m.a." rule, we do end up at 2050. Unfortunately it's a little more complicated than that (see Commons:Copyright rules by territory/United States). E.g. Psycho Theatrical Trailer (1960).webm is in the public domain for lack of a copyright notice. A work that was first published during 1928–63 with notice and renewal is copyrighted for 95 years. I didn't actually check whether the copyright was renewed, but assuming it was, Psycho might be in the public domain after 2055. TilmannR (talk) 22:46, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Adding new text to the Union Square San Francisco Wiki Page[edit]

A couple of years ago, I created a wiki account and used the editing tool to add a new section to the Union Square San Francisco page. The Section described the redesign process that resulted in the newly renovated Union Square Park. I followed the steps to upload the addition and was able to see it on the wiki page for Union Square San Francisco. However, today that section does not appear. Can you confirm if your administration people have a record of this upload, or can confirm if the addition was rejected for some reason.

Right to use a picture in an article[edit]

I have a picture of a painting from 1763. The picture was found in archives belonging to a department in France. Am I free to use it in an article? D8dek2lDe (talk) 21:25, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I would like to add the way I obtained the picture is by screenshotting the picture of the painting on the online version of the archive, if that changes anything. D8dek2lDe (talk) 21:28, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yes. This (French?) art is in the public domain in France and the United States, so faithful reproductions of the painting are as well. Where it gets tricky is that you can always reproduce the painting itself as a 2-D surface in the public domain, but if you take a picture of it in some 3-D context (e.g. how it is arranged in a gallery or if it has a 3-D frame), then that image could be under copyright. The solution in that case would be to crop out other elements to just have the face of the painting itself. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:46, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@D8dek2lDe: Definitely do not tick "the images is mine". If you answer correctly (for the painting; faithful copies don't create any new copyright), the wizard should guide you through. - Jmabel ! talk 22:19, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Please always tell the solution you found, for the other readers who might be interested, and for those who tried to help you.

helping a living artist upload pictures to wikimedia commons[edit]

I am trying to help an artist friend upload photos of some of his works to wikimedia commons. He has supplied me with photos of the paintings. How do I get the proper license attached to the photos (for example Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International). I have helped him draft an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org, using the template from https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Email_templates, and attached the images to the email. Have not sent it yet. They say that these emails take up to seven days for a reply. Is this the best way to proceed? Paulusjharp (talk) 11:59, 14 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • @Paulusjharp: it is important that the email come from the artist, not from you.
  • Other than that, yes, this is the right way to do this.
  • Seven days may be a bit optimistic, but given that the email is in English it might be realistic; there's quite a backup for some languages.
  • Once the email is sent, you can upload. Remember to include {{subst:PP}} as part of each upload. - Jmabel ! talk 16:23, 14 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Paulusjharp: It is usually done the other way. First, you upload the files and you include the template Permission pending in the description page of each file. And then the owner of the copyright sends the email in which they mention the list of names of the files and they confirm the license. It is not useful then to include another copy of the files in the email. Please see the instructions on the template Permission pending. It can work also the way you suggested, but it is probably just more complicated. -- Asclepias (talk) 12:34, 15 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Are street view images on google maps allowed? Thehistorianisaac (talk) 14:13, 15 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Usually not. The bottom right corner of Streetview typically shows a copyright notice and Google doesn't allow unrestricted reuse of their images, which makes them incompatible with our licensing policy. There are some panoramas on Commons, which are under a free license and also have been uploaded to Streetview (e.g. Category:Spherical Panoramas by User:Capricorn4049), but as far as I can tell Google never explicitly tells you that a panorama is freely licensed, so it's never a good source for images.
