[edit]

discolouration, borders and age of the pictures suggest this is not likely to be own work.

  •  Comment/keep for now - That's a pretty thin rationale for deleting a bunch of images. And there are Wikipedians over 30 and <gasp> over 40 or 50 who could have very well taken those pictures. And even if they weren't actually taken by the uploader, they may still be owned by the uploader. Request more information and clarification from the uploader if you must, but don't delete a whole bunch of potentially useful images on a simple hunch alone. – JBarta (talk) 03:55, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete For almost all pictures we can find a source on google images that was on the internet prior to the upload. It's really unlikely own work. It should be deleted. --PierreSelim (talk) 06:20, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete There is no doubt that user is not the copyright owner as some pictures are scan from old books (Dalai Lama XIV with Chun Hwan Kwak.jpg) where shots was taken mostly by koreans, some pictures are shots made by official church photographs during official occasions (Moon's official residence, Gapeong, South Korea.jpg). It is possible that there is few shots taken by uploader, but there is no way how to proof the copyright, when he already wrongly stated (probably by misunderstanding copyright policy) that he is a copyright owner. Additionally, there is no doubt that pictures was taken by UC members. In this case I think, that this is not the correct way how to publish church related pictures from wikipedia's point of view and as far as I know from church point of view as well. I personally would like to see more pictures connected to UC here, but unfortunatelly this would be deleted from Wikipedia due to clear copyright policy.--DeeMusil (talk) 10:55, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I just deleted File:Moon's official residence, Gapeong, South Korea.jpg because it was clearly a scan from some magazine or flyer (you can also see the text on the obverse that was captured by the scanner). -- SERGIO (aka the Blackcat) 18:17, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete The fact that Borovv has consistently edited Unification Church related articles such as Sun Myung Moon's biography extensively in a positive light, it is likely that Borovv has some connection to the Unification Church and their publication materials which contain photography by a qualified professional photographer. The images are clearly scanned from UC's publications, and while Borovv might have scanned and uploaded them, unless Borovv can prove that he/she is the actual photographer, all of the photos are in violation of copyright policy and need to be removed. And sadly, Borovv has a wrong idea of what copyright is. -- Jun.rhee (talk) 07:28, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep Please, don't forget that all the copyvio rules of Wikipedia are intended to avoid judicial complaints and so thus protect Wikipedia from lawsuits. All the photos of the editor seem to be valuable to WP readers thus the rules of Wikipedia should not be manipulated in order for them to interfere with the spirit of Wikipedia. All the nay-comments above seem to be WP:COI rather then copyvio. Even a scanned photo is own work and cannot be proven as opposite at a court due to modern technologies (camera type recognition, resolution recognition, etc.) Peacemakers (talk) 02:47, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • This isn't Wikipedia. This is Wikimedia Commons, and the rules of Commons are that a free content copyright licence must have been granted by the actual copyright holder. This is fundamental policy. We don't keep copyright violations because they are "valuable". One image was on its face not the uploader's own work. I'd ask what evidence you have that the others are, but I notice that all of your uploads are other people's work not your own, that you've taken from books.

Deleted: Dubious copyright claim. It seems that the majority of these files were taken from external websites and claimed as own work when this is obviously not the case. FASTILY (TALK) 21:57, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

This user's images were already deleted in April 2012. These images, uploaded since then fail the same standards that the originals did. These Unification Church press photos are from all around the world, Nigeria, The Marshall Islands, Nepal, the Philippines. Some look like scans or photos of other work. It's highly unlikely that they are the works of one person. These are likely copyvios. It's possible that the user works for the communications team at the Unification Church and actually holds the rights to the images, but if so - we would require OTRS evidence.
