Unacceptable behaviour
- I first asked to delete the picture File:Bourget à gauche sur bel ami de Maupassant (Rocca).jpg because taken from voilesetvoiliers.com without permission. - The answer of Racconish is that this picture was in fact coming from www.laurentcharpentier.com - So Racconish has decided to download a new file from this website without getting any permission, then he reframed it and put it on wikimedia. - Racconish justified this strange action telling the author of the photo is unknown, probably dead for a long time. - The fact is I am both the journalist having published this picture on voilesetvoiliers.com and the owner of laurentcharpentier.com and, also the owner of the famous original print showing Maupassant aboard Bel-Ami. - I have published this photo on my website well after it was shown on voilesetvoiliers.com - When I saw it was again put on Wikimedia this time in 1920 pix, and without my consent, I decide to put watermarks, too late, of course.
- Question : on what legal ground Racconish can decide to steal this photo from my website and put it on Wikimedia ? - Question: as far as I can understand the way Wikipedia/Media works, who gives the so-called authority and rightfulness to Racconish to behave like a narrow minded cop without discussing before the point with the community ? And with me ?
I ask again to delete this picture from Wikimedia/pedia etc.
Comment Behind your anonymity you pretend to know better than the other. But your judgement is based on many mistakes and at least one wrongdoing made by you. And above all, you refuse to answer my previous questions.
- As you may understand now, the only source of the picture both on www.voilestevoiliers.com and www.laurentcharpentier.com is me, Laurent Charpentier, as I am the owner of the original print.
- Regarding the book by Alain Gerard La Côte d'Azur de Maupassant, : a private mail to me from the Publisher (Editions Pimientos) recognize that they took the picture from voilesetvoilers.com, without permission. You haven't obviously seen this book as it is mentioned : "Légende et illustration trouvés sur le site de Voiles et Voiliers."
- From your arbitrary position of unlegitimate judge you have decided to download the picture from my website, reframe it and drop it on Wikimedia without willing to contact me first : why ?
- Is It because, hidden behind your anonymity, you wanted to punish me for being demanding ? I'd be glad to know who you are and why you act like this.
- Regarding the picture itself. It has been published in the book by Pierre Borel "Le Destin Tragique de Guy de Maupassant" , by "Les Editions de France" in 1927, then Gallimard republished it in 1987 in one Album La Pléaide about Maupassant. The author of the picture is, up to now, unknown and probably dead from a long time.
- I am the owner of the only print known to be existing. I made a digital repro of it, in order to share this find with people interested with the subject. Not to give it to anybody. Of course I have not the copyright of this picture, neither you.
- Instead of willing to discuss the point with me, asking me If I would be OK to GIVE a low res picture to Wikimedia, you are accusing me for changing the caption of the photo as published on my website : classic way to send back the guilt, when one doesn't have a strong case.
- If I follow you way of thinking, any old photo can be given to anybody, published anywhere. For instance, if I find a photo made by your great-grand-father in a family album, can I publish it without asking you ? Is it the way Wikimedia Commons works ? If yes, Wikimedia would be the instrument of a dictatorial power. Is it the case ?
Thank you in advance for answering and deleting these pictures.
- ONCE AGAIN, I ASK THIS PHOTOS TO BE DELETED FROM WIKIMEDIA
