Hello. Please help me find answers to my questions.
How can you tell if an image is free use? If I find a picture on commons in another language, how can I put it on this English commons? Are images on flickr.com free use? --TheShadowCrow (talk) 01:29, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
A file is free if the copyright holder voluntarily realeased it under a free license. So files on Wikipedia are free if the copyright holder uploaded them under a free license. Or if the uploader proved that the copyright holder released them under a free license. Files on flickr are free if the copyright holder uploaded them to flickr and published them under a free license, see Commons:Flickr. --Martin H. (talk) 14:25, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
What about photos on Commons in other languages? There are photos in the Russian Commons I want to move here. How can I do that? --TheShadowCrow (talk) 18:41, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
But I have a hard time understanding how files here work. Please explain again how I can copy a picture in another language Commons to here. --TheShadowCrow (talk) 19:42, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
Please enter "transfering files from wikipedia to Commons" to google. And have a look on your talkpage at the Welcome box, it says something about copying files from other projects. --Martin H. (talk) 23:10, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
There is no "English Commons" or "Russian Commons." Unlike Wikipedia (the free encyclopædia), which exists in many different language editions, there is only one single Commons project. Wikimedia Commons is a multilingual repository of free media, and files hosted here on Commons can be used directly by all the different language editions of Wikipedia and all other projects run by the Wikimedia Foundation. Files hosted on Commons but used on Wikipedia projects can have localised file description pages, which might make it appear as though they reside on that project unless you look closely. For example, en:File:The Earth seen from Apollo 17.jpg looks like a page on English Wikipedia, but all the information is grabbed directly File:The Earth seen from Apollo 17.jpg on Commons.
Some Wikipedia projects also allow files to be locally uploaded to that particular project. In some cases, they also allow non-free files to be uploaded. For example, en:File:ACDC-TNT.jpg is a locally hosted, non-free file. It cannot be transferred to Commons, since it's not free. See Commons:Moving to Commons for more. —LX (talk, contribs)18:22, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi Martin, I've seen that you objected the source information provided in this file. However, I can't see how the source information available right now is enough for supporting any claim. What do you think? --Ecemamltalk to me/habla conmigo06:48, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
Hallo,
nach der Ankündigung, dass für die von mir hochgeladenen Bilder (file: TIBEAN Polycon.jpg, file: TIBEAN Polycon submerged.jpg und
file: TIBEAN Polycon Anlagenkomponenten.jpg) die entsprechende Freigabe fehlt, habe ich die geforderten Nachweise (wie bereits beim Hochladen) an 'permissions-commons@wikimedia.org' geschickt. Ich bestätigte die Freigabe der Bilder deren Erstellung von der Firma für die ich arbeite bezahlt wurde, welche auch schon lange für jeden frei verfügbar auf unserer Homepage (http://www.polycon-gmbh.de/cms/polyplan/de/cms?cms_knuuid=a5040ae1-ae7d-4098-bf2e-b619bb61ea67 bzw. http://www.polyplan-gmbh.de/cms/polyplan/de/cms?---cms_knschluessel=schwerpunkte) sind.
Trotz allem wurden sie ohne weiteren Kontakt gelöscht. Auf meine Anfragen wurde bisher nicht reagiert. Da der Artikel "Tiefenwasserbelüftung" ohne diese Bilder wenig Sinn macht, bitte ich um eine umgehende Wiederherstellung der Bilder bzw. endlich mal eine Erklärung, warum sie gelöscht wurden!
Im not an OTRS volunteer. There is a backlog in OTRS ( i guess ), once they found the permission they will handle it. --Martin H. (talk) 15:53, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
User JoséContreras12 continues to violate the rules
Hello Martin!
Some time ago I wrote requesting blocking the user account JoséContreras12. You blocked the user by the time a month but the user have returned to commit violations of the community rules. The user commits serious violations of copyright and licensing supplants of the files that he take online, making a fraud.
Obviously, the user does not learn his lesson and does not want to work with the community because he violates the rules constantly. For this reason I request permanent blocking of user account.
I appreciate your attention and I hope that you make the best decision for the good of our beloved community.
Hallo Martin,
ich hoffe, ich bin hier richtig. Ein User namens Steindy hat mir einen Kampf angekündigt, den ich aber keineswegs führen möchte. Als erstes hat er meine Userseite verändert. Falls sich auf meiner Userseite tatsächlich unzulässige Inhalte befinden sollten, bin ich selbstverständlich gerne bereit, diese zu entfernen oder von einem Admin entfernen zu lassen. Meine Frage ist daher, ist es erlaubt, ungefragt die Userseite eines anderen Benutzers zu verändern? Und darf man auf seiner Userseite auf Webseiten außerhalb der Wiki-Projekte verlinken oder nicht? Danke für deine Hilfe, Manuela (talk) 14:20, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
Den "Kampf" hast Du mir angesagt, werte Manuela61. Verdrehe also nicht die Tatsachen. Deine Benutzerseite hast Du als Werbeplattform für Deine Homepage und die Tatsache missbraucht, dass Du als Profifotografin arbeitest und engangiert werden kannst. Dies ist sowohl nach den Regeln von commons, als auch nach den Regeln der de.WP (Punkt 3) nicht erlaubt. --Steindy (talk) 17:15, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
Ihr wendet euch an den falschen, ich bin kein Diplomat. Ein so klar formuliertes Verbot gibt es nicht. An der Selbstbeschreibung mit Abschweifung zum Berufsbild ist auch nichts auszusetzen. Auch der Weblink geht auf eine eher persönlich gestaltete Webseite, nicht auf einen Verkaufskatalog. Kurzum, die Seite war in der alten Bearbeitung in Ordnung. Schade, dass ihr euch hier begegnet seit, währt ihr euch drausen beim Fotografieren begegnet, wäre der Kontakt sicher freundlicher verlaufen. --Martin H. (talk) 17:56, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
(Translation - Google) - You said that "This file is missing evidence of permission". I may not have the correct license type, and now I do not know how to fix it. These images - screenshots of the game Diablo III. I do not know how to fix the license. Can you indicate the type of license, and change the image information?
You have no permission and no license to publish the files under a free license. You have to contact the copyright holder and ask for a license. --Martin H. (talk) 16:50, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
User:ChrisAnorthosis
Hi! You gave this user end of copyvios warning in October 2011[1], I also warned him several times both on English wikipedia and commons, but it seems that he doesn't want to stop and still uploading unfree photos under false self-made claim.[2]--Oleola (talk) 10:46, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
This photo I uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, gave me poet´s daughter to use it anywhere, in fact, already been used in this triptych. I have limited myself to scan it and upload it. I hope you can help me on this with the appropriate license. Thank. Greetings: Manrique1430 (talk) 10:25, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
No, I tell you that I got the picture of the poet's daughter for publication in the triptych that I mentioned earlier. Please ask him to help me on this, and that way I can upload that photo to Wikimedia Commons. I'm trying to be nominated this article in Wikipedia in Spanish AB. I ask you to help me on this. Greetings: Manrique1430 (talk) 11:29, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
You need information (author, copyright holder, original publication) in order to determine the copyright status and/or to ask the copyright holder for a written permission. --Martin H. (talk) 13:01, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.
Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!
Letzter Zeit habe ich schwierigkeiten auf den Wikimediaserver zu kommen. Ich fühle mich verantwortlich für die Kategorie "Clock", die ich über CatScan erreichen möchte, damit ich die jeweilige Änderungen sehen kann.
(https://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/CategoryIntersect.php?wikifam=commons.wikimedia.org&basecat=clocks&basedeep=6&mode=rc&hours=100&go=Scannen&format=html&userlang=de). Als Antwort bekomme ich ständig (Database Error: User 'daniel_www' has exceeded the 'max_user_connections' resource (current value: 15) on sql-s4/commonswiki_p) oder eine ähnliche Mitteilung.
Leider weiß ich nicht was ich machen soll, oder auf wen ich mich direkt wenden kann. Nun habe ich es bei dir probiert, vieleicht kannst du mir helfen, oder leite meinen Frage an anderen Admin weiter. Danke!
Es geht um o.g. Benutzer: Ich sah hierbei dringenden Handlungsbedarf und habe seine Dateien jüngst alle gelöscht. Grund für meine Entscheidung war nicht nur die Tatsache, dass es sich bei Dreien um offensichtliche URVs handelte, sondern auch die Tatsache, dass die Bilder unsinnige Dateinamen und noch weniger sinnvolle Dateibeschreibungen hatten. Sehr merkwürdig war die Dateigröße: Bilder mit Auflösungen von 800x1100 hatten Größen von über 25 MB (!). Sehr merkwürdig. Ich habe den Benutzer zusätzlich für 3 Tage gesperrt - reagiert zusätzlich nicht auf Nachrichten auf seiner Diskussionsseite. Kannst du bitte die Dateien überprüfen und ggf. Feedback geben, ob das Blockieren des Benutzers gerechtfertigt ist und was mit diesen Datein los ist/war. Gruß, High Contrast (talk) 23:09, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
Komm nicht dahinter, was da schief gelaufen ist. Vielleicht irgendein komischer Dateityp (Hörbuch, Ebook waren meine Vermutung) der eine Jpg-Vorschau generiert? Wie gesagt, keine Ahnung. --Martin H. (talk) 23:29, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
des photo supprimé pk ???!!!!
tout ces photo sont avant 1980 suivant cette date ces photo sont valable pd tunisia ok alors pourquoi suprrimé ??????
"avant 1980": evidence? Also the required Information is not the assumed date of creation. The required info is the date of first publication. --Martin H. (talk) 16:17, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
toute les photos publier avant 5-7-1984 is pd tunisia ok
That page describes an event in 1978. It not says that the photo is from 1978, and it especially says nothing about the publication of the photo. That website is a publication from 2011. You have to provide evidence of publication before 5-7-1984 in Tunesia. Not creation. --Martin H. (talk) 16:34, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
hhhh is not internet in 1978 how can prouved you dont understund any thaink of rules of tunisia pd loook all tunisian pictur in commons all from archive how can prouved !!!!????
Habib Bourguiba jr.JPG this picture Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Daily News in 1961 so why you want delate this pic???--Adnen1985 (talk) 16:44, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
The Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Daily News Archive is not part of the United States Federal Government (as you say). --Martin H. (talk) 16:45, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
I dont know if there is a correct license. I see no reason for the photo to be free inside our requirements. --Martin H. (talk) 16:48, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
sorry but you dont know any thaink ??? you tell me how you prouve this before 1980
so how you prouve this pic????
all my licence is correct licence but you want delete my work just this the simple raison all this picture before 1980 so is correct it simple ok
you want more pic in commons prouve this???--Adnen1985 (talk) 16:56, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
I just realized there was an error in the verbiage of the template, as the Tunisian law is stating that pictures protection starts from the year of their creation and not of their publication. SO NOW ???
PD-Tunisia verbiage
Hi Martin,
I saw your discussion with Adnen around PD-Tunisia. I just realized there was an error in the verbiage of the template, as the Tunisian law is stating that pictures protection starts from the year of their creation and not of their publication. That does not change much to the specific cases discussed with Adnen but I wanted to make you aware of this distinction. Moumou82 (talk) 17:50, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
That does not change much. The country of origin is the country of first publication, not the country where the depcited person comes from. So far you quote books published in France by L'Harmattan and Karthala or websites published in France (Abdallah Kallel photo). The requirement on Commons is that a file is public domain in the country of origin and the US. If France is the country of origin the file is not free enough for Commons. See the first words of the template: "Cette œuvre a été publiée la première fois en Tunisie" --Martin H. (talk) 23:12, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
YOU DONT KNOW ANY THAINK ALL THIS PIC IN TUNISIA NOT IN FRANCE AND YOU DONT UNDER.. PIC CRÉATION NOT PUBLICATION OK--Adnen1985 (talk) 20:14, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
Bei allen ist die Behauptung "erreicht nicht die notwendige Schöpfungshöhe" (Template:PD-ineligible) Unsinn. Es fehlt also eine korrekte Angabe des urheberrechtlichen Status. Bei allen steht, der Urheber sei nicht bekannt, nach eigenem Erkenntnisstand mag das stimmen, objektiv ist es aber eine unbelegte Behauptung die mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit schlichtweg falsch ist. Der Urheber von File:Krupp schiessplatz meppen.jpg ist 1945 gestorben, die Datei ist nicht gemeinfrei. --Martin H. (talk) 19:26, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
I want to inform of the copyright violations that continues making the user JoséContreras12, despite warnings that you and I have done. You can see the recent user contributions: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Jos%C3%A9Contreras12.
The user upload copyrighted files and passed this files like his own work, which is completely false and fraudulent.
I have applied to you as an administrator blocking the user's account and I request it again today, because the user ignores the warnings and suggestions and does not respect the rules of the community, also not the first time he commits acts of copyvio and violations of copyright, this he has done on several occasions.
Hello Martin.H, I'm still getting to grips with Wikimedia. Please may you SPEEDILY DELETE the above mentioned FILE SIGNATURE & any similar ones which are visible, that l have uploaded. l believe they are copy right violations, & its my mistake. Not done purposefully, but out of trying to learn.
Thanks truly appreciated, if it could be done A.S.A.P.
Hey, I was just wondering why you tagged the image of Benedict Cumberbatch I uploaded from Flickr for deletion - it was licensed as CC-BY over there as far as I could tell. Was there another issue with it? Sorry to take up your time. :/ Keilana (talk) 19:43, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
Please feel free to mark this image (or remove the flickr error tag) if you wish. It seems to be a legal derivative image. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 00:03, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
I've notice that the photos I uploaded from the Philippine government sites were deleted. I have no intentions into breaking copyright law. All of the images came from http://www.gov.ph/ states that "All content is public domain unless otherwise stated." So I think I'm not breaking into any copyright law. Correct me if I'm wrong.--Zuanzuanfuwa (talk) 13:07, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
I restored those from that website with a verifiable link to the website. And fixed the license. This files are not free in terms of Commons:Licensing because the law says so. The law requires written permission for commercial reuse. This files are public domain because the website, the presumabl copyright holder releases them into the public domain. --Martin H. (talk) 16:42, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
That case is a little bit too old. If MyCanon is Chase Watson, then he not longer behaves like Chase Watson. --Martin H. (talk) 16:43, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
Chace continues to disrupt English Wikipedia to this day. It looks to me like he uses the MyCanon account for good behaviour and continues to sockpuppet and edit war with anonymous accounts and sockpuppet accounts.Kww (talk) 20:01, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
Wenn klar ist, dass der Flickr Benutzer nicht der Commons Benutzer ist sondern hier nur jemand die Identität imitiert hat, dann ist der Fall doch klar. Löschen, ohne Diskussion. --Martin H. (talk) 17:33, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
Begründung: Die Herkunft der IP ist so markant eindeutig, dass es sehr unwahrscheinlich ist, dass MyCanon nicht Chace Watson ist. Mit der IP kann der Commons-Benutzer nicht der Flickr-Benutzer sein, über die Bilder auf Flickr sind dessen Reiseaktivitäten ja nachvollziehbar. --Martin H. (talk) 17:39, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
Danke (auch für das Löschen; ich glaube es ist besser, wenn ein CU das macht…). Das ist ja unglaublich. Da wurde ich aber an der Nase herumgeführt. -- Rillke(q?)17:49, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
I see that you've taken care of the files uploaded by the imposter accounts. What's the process for the files uploaded by the MyCanon account? If they were on English Wikipedia, I'd be busy deleting them all as well.Kww (talk) 19:16, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
And, on a related note, deleting the Mayra Cavigno pages was only a portion of the problem. After fraudulently uploading them, he then preceded to use the MyCanon account to produce crops of each and every one, like File:Jay Baruchel 2013.jpg for example. Here's a complete set of links:
Please have a look at User:Tomdog, setup sounds very similar to the Tom Sorensen page. A request to confirm identity has been left unanswered. Was only active for ~13 hours to upload these images and was never seen here again. If there's not sufficient evidence for being a fake account I suggest to tag these images as missing permission. --Denniss (talk) 20:40, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
Delete File
Hi Martin, you delete the file image of Sergio Gjurinovic which recently uploaded, that pic is from the facebook of the Movie "Sueños de Gloria" and I working in the production, that material is mine and UI have the rights for use it, so please upload the image again.
Hi. I just saw your note on my discussion page. I believe you have deleted the image by a mistake, as all pictures uploaded to oslobilder.no are licensed as "cc-by-sa 3.0 Norway" by consent of creators and owners. The licence tag is visible below the image. Thus, the image fullfills our requirements. Erik F (talk) 09:53, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
Shouldn't the files uploaded by Consmoer/Seffrybulion (and their many socks) be deleted?
I came across a pile of files uploaded by User:Seffrybulion (mis-categorized in Category:Solders, which is what caught my eye), and noticed that you blocked the account back in 2012, along with a bunch of apparent socks. It seemed like their uploads were questionable, due to the lack of clear sourcing. It looks like a lot of the uploads remain on the wiki (and are even used in various articles). Is this a problem? Would it be worth my time to go through and tag them for deletion? Thanks for your time and effort maintaining the wiki. 63.251.123.220:54, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
I think I already deleted the copyvios from that user. That was files from the 1970s or 80s with claims "author died 70 years ago" or "published 50 years ago". --Martin H. (talk) 02:20, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
I'm not sure why this picture is flagged for deletion. I took that photo personally on my iPhone before a red carpet event.
it's my own work! I fully released that photo into public domain.
Please tell me what else I have to do?
I published that picture to Wikipedia first, then copied it over to IMDB as well.
I can delete it from IMDB if it's illegal to have the photo located in both places.
Please tell me what I need to do to get my photo back up.
Thats not illegal, but for me it sounds not very likely that first someone tries to include an IMDB photo link and the same time someone uploads a photo that in the same size is in IMDB. You may confirm your authorship via Commons:OTRS. Please refer to the filename in your conversation with OTRS. --Martin H. (talk) 04:03, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
This is now settled per OTRS ticket 013070110006795. @Dmcourtn: Please understand that we are very careful here in regard to copyright. We have myriads of copyright violations every day where a picture is copied without permission from somewhere in the web (like IMDB, for example). In these cases we insist on a confirmation through OTRS which we now have. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 17:42, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
hello Martin; the Picture of Albert Cossery that I uploaded is a painting done by Frederico Penteado (as mentioned) that I have actually bought from him. Therefore, there is no permission issue.
Thanks
Then it is not your own work. Also physical ownership of an original artwork does not mean that you own the copyright. --Martin H. (talk) 21:59, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
Peaches(musician)
Hello,
I am trying to change the email address associated with this page. Any help as to how to go about doing that?
What email adress associated with en:Peaches (musician)? Thats an article in Wikipedia, add it to your watchlist and get email notifications for changes on articles on your watchlist. But anyway: Stop uploading unfree files. --Martin H. (talk) 07:26, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
Harper Simon/Peaches Does Herself
Hello,
I work for the management team for both artists and was told to update their pages. I have permission to use both photos but confused as to the proper method of uploading. How would I go about proving that I have permission? I have to upload another image to use for Peaches (musician) page. Thanks
Seems like you got the first step already: correct uploading. Not upload the work of others with the upload option "its my own work". You did this correct at File:Peaches.jpg. The file description says, that the copyright holder agreed that anyone can reuse the photo anywhere for redistribution, derivative work, commercial use, and all use as long as the copyright holder is attributed. That requires evidence of written permission. See COM:OTRS for that process and the notification on your talkpage. --Martin H. (talk) 23:11, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
This is a picture of the Royal Baby HRH Prince of Cambridge, these same exact picture has been taken hundreds of photographers therefore you will see them on many many other websites - this particular photograph came from http://www.dukeandduchessofcambridge.org/life-in-pictures/8512 which is the official site of the monarchy and the terms and conditions clearly state that:
downloading and printing out extracts of material from the site for non-commercial, personal use only; and
reproduction of text extracts for the purpose of reporting such written material in news publications (in any media) provided that the material is reproduced accurately
also as this a government owned website it is also bound by the Open Government License v2.0 which also clearly states you are free to:

adapt the Information
exploit the Information commercially and non-commercially for example, by combining it with other Information, or by including it in your own product or application.
This is a free content project. Free content is free for anyone to reuse anywhere for every purpose, including commercial purposes. Please read the first steps. --Martin H. (talk) 05:43, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
Hola usted borro una imagen que tenia una licencia correcta, el problema es que otro usuario subió unas imágenes con derechos de autor en una imagen que estaba bien. Le pido que lo restaure a la version que estaba con la licencia correcta.

How to provide licensing permission for a photo that was deleted
Hello. I uploaded a file (File:Eric A. Spiegel.JPG) which was deleted because I did not have the correct license information from the photographer. I now have the information which I emailed to Permissions. They sent me back a note saying to contact you. Who do I email this permission to so that I can upload this photo? CRHassettVA4 (talk) 02:28, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
As most of the uploads I have had involvement with, are transfers made in good faith from English Wikipedia, I would appreciate it, if you could just get on and delete them, without sending notifications.
I go by the information supplied on the English Wikipedia file, and understandably sometimes this doesn't add up as you note.Sfan00 IMG (talk) 23:59, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I have noticed that you deleted the file: "File:Eleventhblock-meme-Kanye.jpeg" that I have stated I was going to use on user page back on Wikipedia. However, you claimed the file was copyright infringement even though I have posted the text on the meme. That image was mine so it was not breaking copyright. Please contact me back, thank you. :) 11Block |talk02:10, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
Its derivative of someone else work, not entirely own work. This makes it unfree. You can release your own work under whatever license you want, but if your work is based on someone else work or is a collage of your content and the content from others, then the license wont apply to the content that you not created. Unless the copyright holder published the content under a free license you cant upload it here. -Martin H. (talk) 19:00, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
Martin, you seem to have information on this user that I was unaware of, so could you notify enwiki folks about the user's history, and see if it wouldn't be wise to just speedy all the stuff he's uploaded to Commons? He's currently SPAing on enwiki. MSJapan (talk) 18:34, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
Also, I don't really check Commons much, so you can respond on my talk at enwiki or via email if needed. MSJapan (talk) 18:39, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
I entered in contact with the Enfam and they prepared a page with the permissions with the Creative Commons liscense. The link is the follow: http://www.enfam.jus.br/imagens-min-eliana-calmon/ . How do I correct the file ???
I don't understand before the way to load images and the different lincences for the authors but thank you, I will get better
Tiny request
I abandoned my user some years ago but this page - discussion is still alive. Can you please delete this? I appreciate. Thank you very much. I will use this new user from now on at Commons. Johnny_Amalfitano (User talk:Johnny_Amalfitano) 17 August 2013 22:54 (UTC)
Why did you delete me picture, given that it was already recorded 70 years ago. I think there is no question of Copyright violation, or if this was a Copyright violation, why got I no error messages when I transferring it using this? --Денис Маринов (talk) 09:12, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
Update for you on pictures ... please review documentation
Update in reponse to "Thats a little bit too much text for a very simple task. We not need "released for use on Damon Matthew Wise wikipadia information page". The only thing we need is the copyright holders written agreement that anyone, worldwide, can reuse the photo anywhere, anytime for every purpose including modifications and money making purposes. See Commons:Project scope#Required licensing terms. Anyone and commisioned for one person is an important difference. Also use for one article or in specific materials such as election materials and for any purpose is an important difference. There is a very simple email template linked at the permission information pages. Simply fill in the copyright holder, the license that the copyright holder agreed to, the name of the work and let the copyright owner sent the written permission to the given email adress. --Martin H. (talk) 17:26, 22 August 2013 (UTC)"
Some kind of permission form has been filled in (and many communications and submissions made in the last week have not yet showed, and has been sent again by the subject and right holder - form assumes OR, when Damon is both personally and in a charitable/non-profit capacity exclusive right holder to the photos. Permission given under international law requires consent for use to be notified and use identified, for Public use. On the condition that use is appropriate to the subject. He information or public awareness in relation to his Community politics, autism, and disability charity and voluntary work and as journalist, writer, editor, publisher - and these photos are widely used across many webpages for his various charity and non-profit groups as officer, director and committee member, and in various press and media - rights of which are exclusively used in connection with nominated charities approved.
If there is a specific form in relation to information pages, please locate, as only been given a general rights form, much of which is illegal under international law, and specific to US derivation from copyright law, according to Damon (with his legal advocate hat on).

The person who gave the rights and the Newspapers rights licensing body for Ireland, and others - studios and photographers who was commissioned to shoot the images and sold them have both asserted the rights-holder is, common to the case taken by the case-holder Damon Matthew Wise Vs Facebook (2010) entitled to use his own image and transfer and use and bestow as he sees fit. If he has given and stated to have given those rights to all kinds of social networking sites in relation to media coverage of himself as a journalist and any voluntary and community, or charity-work in autism and Disability areas then you better have a Dog-gone good reason to be breaching his right to have them appropriately used here with his repeatedly stated permission.

Question
Hello Martin, Does this constitute copyright violations ?
As a suggestion ;) : Why not disallow the flickr bot to upload files from a blacklisted account? We would save time with this change ;) --Coentor (talk) 13:04, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Seems like this is fixed. However, the grey fields in Commons:Email templates are fields that you have to replace with your text. You did not change the text under what license you want to license the work, i.e. you not removed the words "STANDARD CHOICE.." etc. . This means you did not license the work, you just forgot to replace the standard text. --Martin H. (talk) 20:43, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
Hermitage Plaza pictures
Hello,
You've deleted the files from the article Hermitage plaza in the beginning of July this year. I've written on 26 July to the OTRS for the permission of the following files
File:Projet Hermitage Plaza.jpgFile:Vue du ciel Hermitage Plaza.jpgFile:Hermitage Plaza.jpg and
File:Vue du ciel Hermitage Plaza.jpg
to restaure them under the licence/authors rights <Groupe HERMITAGE/FOSTER+PARTNERS >. No answer for the moment and no pics in th article. Please can you help me and check the point the permission is?
Thank you in advance.
karlson-san
If permission is handled the files will be restored. Make sure you referenced the filenames, i.e. replace the replacement field "SPECIFY THE WORK HERE" in the permission template with the name of the file (and/or the url). Make sure that the email comes from an official email adress from an company officer with statutory authority who is able to license the companys intelectual property. Not from some webmaster or marketing officer. --Martin H. (talk) 20:41, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Hallo Martin H.. Du hast vor Urzeiten mal location-Vorlagen in Bundesarchiv-Bilder von Göttingen eingefügt (super übriigens, vielen Dank!). Anlässlich WLM2013 habe ich mal versucht, herauszufinden, welche Fotos aus Göttingen noch Baudenkmale abbilden, und bin auf File:Bundesarchiv B 145 Bild-F001055-0006, Göttingen, Altstad.jpg gestoßen. Dort scheint mir der Aufnahmestandort nicht richtig angegeben. Nach Vergleichen mit aktuelleren Fotos möchte ich eigentlich ausschließen, dass dort die Angerstraße oder die Groner Straße abgebildet ist. Tatsächlich hatte ich zunächst die Düstere Straße in Verdacht, die passt aber auch nicht. Zumindest die Häuser, die sich heute als alte Fachwerkhäuser oder Gründerzeit-Häuser zeigen, müssten ja auf dem alten Bild auch erkennbar sein. Im Moment bezweifle ich sogar, ob das Foto überhaupt in Göttingen aufgenommen wurde, obwohl vom gleichen Tag und gleichen Fotografen auch andere Göttingen-Bilder existieren. Manchmal sind die Beschreibungen des Bundesarchivs aber auch fehlerhaft. Hast Du da genauere Hinweise, wo das sein könnte? --Dehio (talk) 07:45, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
In errinnerung habe ich, dass einige der Bundesarchiv-Bilder von den Straßen rund um die Kirche St. Marien waren. Die Straße hier muss dem Schattenwurf nach inetwa in südliche Richtung verlaufen und dem Bild nach einen leichten Schwenk nach links machen. Das würde auf die Angerstraße passen. Allerdings gebe ich dir recht, den Gebäuden nach passt das Bild nicht dorthin wo ich es platziert habe. --Martin H. (talk) 23:06, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
In der Beschreibung steht "Neustadt". Wenn das stimmt, dann müsste die Lage eher ungefähr hier sein:
(Wenn die Vorlage hier Probleme macht, gerne einfach auskommentieren oder so)
In der Neustadt gibt es heute nur noch zwei alte Häuser, die aber offenbar auf dem Bild nicht zu sehen sind - alles andere wurde Ende der 60er/Anfang der 70er Jahre abgerissen. Die alten Bilder, die ich von vor dem Abriss gefunden habe, passen auch nicht richtig zu diesem Bild, denn der Kurvenaußenbereich ist völlig anders bebaut und es sind in der Neustadt keine Fachwerkbauten im "gotischen" Stil (mit Zwischengeschoss und vorkragendem Oberstock) erkennbar. Größere solche Häuser (wie auf dem Foto erkennbar) wären auch von der Lage her eher unwahrscheinlich für die Neustadt, denn solche Häuser standen eigentlich nur innerhalb der inneren Stadtmauer (auf dieser Seite also östlich des Leinekanals), nicht in der Neustadt oder dem alten Dorf oder dem Weender alten Dorf. Ich kann es zwar derzeit nicht sicher ausschließen, dass das Foto doch die Neustadt zeigt, bin aber sehr skeptisch. Vielleicht frage ich mal in de:WP bei der Auskunft --Dehio (talk) 07:47, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Are there any procedures on Commons to get the content that a block-evading editor adds removed? I can revert his addition of links to the images on English Wikipedia, but that's a pretty ineffective action when the images are still hosted on Commons.Kww (talk) 03:38, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Cioran.
This file is a picture that I paint, but, if you don't want risk with copyright, I could modified its.
The image is my work, made by me.
Lucretius.
I photographed the bust in Rome. The photo is my property.
Rather, there is another photo, not remodeled, on Cioran, on commons, which is identical to a copyrighted photo, little changed. I have, instead, personally made by me uploading the file. Using as a model the existing photo (of course, given that Cioran is dead) is normal to be some similarity with photos lying around.--StefanoRR (talk) 16:03, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
A work that is based on someone else work - for example painting or a computer / software aided "oil painiting look-alike" based on a photo - is always a derivative work of the original and it is not possible to license such work/co-work without the permission from the copyright holder of the original. You have to make your own photo of that person. The photo that you used for this photoshoping experiment is Copyghted by the AFP, the EXIF still shows that the original comes from their ImageForum [10].
The photo of the sculpture: Well, I doubt. You may upload your original photography. The version that you uploaded show striking similarities to the photo that I linked. To be precice: Its the same photography. --Martin H. (talk) 16:19, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
Thats still not entirely your creative work. Its a work of a photographer who not licensed it for your use, its your work and it is the work of a computer software which to some extend (the effects, the background image) can also have copyright. Its a collective work of multiple authors and only all authors together can publish it under a free license. Without the photographers permission you can not upload any derivative version of the photo here.
Thats the copyright poblem.
The file is a derivative work or - if you want to call it so - a Commons:Collages of two photos manipulated with computer software. All content used in a collage MUST be freely licensed, and all sources and authors MUST be mentioned. You neither reuse freely licensed content nor did you mention your sources. --Martin H.

Pour M. H. Martin
Cher Monsieur H. Martin,
J’ai été informé que vous désirez mettre au point les règles de votre encyclopédie avec les fichiers qui sont installés dans Wikipedia.ro, respectivement les numéros de la revue FRAGMENTA DIPTEROLOGICA, du chapitre ANDY Z. LEHRER.
Peut-être vous savez que je suis un ancien entomologiste roumain, qui a donné beaucoup de contributions taxonomiques, parasitologiques, biogéographiques etc. pour quelques zones biogéographiques. Mais, parce que je ne suis pas jeune, mes connaissance de Roumanie, ont pensé que je mérite être mentionné, pour mes études, dans cette encyclopédie. Je ne sais pas les règles de votre Wikipedia, et pour cela, j’ai vu que mes amis ont fait mon portrait et ont mentionné beaucoup de mes contributions scientifiques, y compris ma revue. Evidement, je suis honoré de leur action et je remercie au Wikipedia pour cette bienveillance exceptionnelle.
Concernant la revue FRAGMENTA DIPTEROLOGICA, je peux vous dire que je suis l’auteur de cette revue, conçu par moi en conformité avec le Code International de Nomenclature Zoologique, et je transmette tous les numéros on ligne aux quelques cents de chercheurs du monde et sur papier aux 35 grandes bibliothèques et instituts du monde. D’autre part, j’ai donné la permission de quelques personnalités roumaines d’utiliser ma revue pour les sites internationaux.
Dans cette situation, je ne sais pas pourquoi vous désirez effacer cette revue, qui donne continuellement et gratuitement mes contributions de grande valeur scientifique et ce que je dois faire pour régler ce problème dans le sens encyclopédique.
Dans l’attente de vous lire (en anglais), je vous assure, cher M. H. Martin, de mes sentiments les plus distingués.
BONNE ANNEE 2014 !
Prof. Dr. Andy Z. Lehrer
P.S. Je vous prie de me pardonner parce que je n’avais écrit en anglais. Je ne sais bien votre langue et pour cela j’ai vous écrit en français.
Dear Mr H. Martin,
I was informed that you wish to develop the rules of your encyclopaedia with the files which are installed in Wikipedia.ro, respectively the numbers of the review FRAGMENTA DIPTEROLOGICA, of chapter ANDY Z LEHRER.
Perhaps you know that I am a former Rumanian entomologist, who gave many taxonomic contributions, parasitologic, biogeographic etc for some biogeographic zones. But, because I am not young, my knowledge of Romania, thought that I deserve being mentioned, for my studies, in this encyclopaedia. I do not know the rules of your Wikipedia, and for this reason, I saw that my friends made my portrait and mentioned many of my scientific contributions, including my review. Cavity, I am honoured with their action and I thank in Wikipedia for this exceptional benevolence.
Concerning the review FRAGMENTA DIPTEROLOGICA, I can say to you that I am the author of this review, designed by me in conformity with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, and I transmit to all the numbers on line to the few hundreds of researchers of the world and on paper to the 35 large libraries and institutes of the world. In addition, I gave the permission of some Rumanian personalities to use my review for the international sites.
In this situation, I do not know why you wish to erase this review, which gives continuously and free my contributions of great scientific value and what I must make to regulate this problem in the encyclopaedic direction.
In waiting to read you (in English), I assure you, dear Mr. H. Martin, of my sincerity.
GOOD YEAR 2014!
Prof Dr. Andy Z Lehrer
P.S. Please forgive me because I had not written in English. I do not know well your language and for this reason I have writes to you in French.

Commons users indefinitely blocked in July 2010
Hi, Martin.
Years ago, when I started to use the Wikimedia Commons I uploaded some images without license.
I mean, I really didn´t know how upload the images correctly. So, after two or three advices I have been blocked including my IP.
Then, I come here to ask you how my real account can be free one more time.
I´m waiting your return and I´ll say one thing: I did that uploads because I didn´t know the politics about the Wikimedia and I´d like a chance to get my account.
The edit https://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sport_Club_do_Recife&diff=35870770&oldid=35870166 is treacherous. The edit includes an image to Wikipedia that another account uploaded to Commons a few minutes before. That account however seems to be focused on including stolen content to our project. In conclusion I can only see that you learned abusing sockpuppets ánd continue to vandalize the free content projects with unfree content - although such content simply has nothing to do in a free encyclopedia. You not learned the politics of the projects. --Martin H. (talk) 22:10, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
You recently warned Necojin for uploading images of YeonWoo Jhi which turned out to be copyright violations. A "new" user has appeared both on Commons and the English Wikipedia called User:Worst0703, who has also uploaded an image of the YeonWoo Jhi (File:Ywywywywyw.jpg), using a similar file name to an upload by Necojin and with a similar claim that the image is the user's "own work". While I can't immediately prove that the image is a copyright violation, I do have the feeling that Necojin and Worst0703 might be the same person, trying to avoid a possible block by starting anew.
Good Evening, I'm a trainee in an Italian Museum hosting an exibition on Eve Arnold's work. We're are providing permission for the three images given for the press conference and media use and loaded "without permission". Documents will be send to the wiki common address, but this will take two or three days. In other case, at the end of the seven days you can delete the images. Thank you!
The Cowboy
Please don't vandalize the image of the cowboy. The information about its provenance is valuable and refers to reliable sources. Senor Cuete (talk) 16:55, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
Thats Original Reasearch and not belongs to file description pages. For example the text says "X is not listed as having a livestock brand" and quotes as a reliable source for this finding the listing of livestock brands. The research is executed by the author of the wiki text, not by any reliable third party. So no, there is no reliable sources. --Martin H. (talk) 18:49, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
You seem confused about the definition of original research. I can add a lot more citations to reliable sources and intend to do so when I have the time. There is no page about Grabill and there should be. The photographer labeled the image as Fred Pierce so this is a primary source. This image is the iconic image of a cowboy and the identification is important to Americans - particularly if it's really from the Pleasant Valley War. Every good wikipedian knows that his job is to improve the content of Wiki, not bully other editors by deleting their work. Why don't you discuss this on the talk page or request arbitration? Senor Cuete (talk) 16:20, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
Simply quote a source that provides research on the photo and describe what that source finds out. No collection of primary sources, no interpretation of what primary sources say and how they intereact. Thats all original research and not belongs to the projects. In general a research result not belongs to the file description page which purpose is only to give a brief description of the media file. --Martin H. (talk) 18:55, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi Martin, Du hattest meine Datierung von "1892 ca" entfernt mit der Begründung "date is unconfirmed, most likely from between 1904 and 1910". Schau Dir mal die zwei Fotos in seinem Würzburger Labor (ca. 1889-1892) und Berliner Labor (vor 1900) an, seine Haarfülle ist ein Gradmesser für seine Lebensjahre. Ich halte die Datierung ca. 1890 daher weiterhin aufrecht.
Bei diesem Bild hattest Du als Urheber "Nicola Perscheid" nachgetragen; sein erstes Atelier richtete Perscheid 1891 in Görlitz/Sachsen ein. Woher hast Du die Information über die Urheberschaft Perscheids? Es gibt dieses Bild ca. 30x im Netz auf verschiedenen Webseiten, ohne diesen Urheber-Hinweis. mfg --Drdoht (talk) 15:13, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
Es gibt das Portrait in voller Größe bei [11], Urheber ist Atelier Victoria (Inh. Paul Gericke, gegr. 1894). Nochmals meine Frage: Wie kommst Du dazu, hier als Urheber "Nicola Perscheid" einzutragen? --Drdoht (talk) 02:57, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
Das Bild wurde auf einer anderen Webseite zusammen mit einem Bild im Labor als Portraitserie beschrieben. Das Bild im Labor ist das Bild Nr. 00110409 von Ullsteinbild, dort abrufbar, von Perscheid. Die Information der Webseite scheint demnach falsch gewesen zu sein. Es schließst sich die Frage nach den Lebensdaten Gerickes an. Ferner die Frage nach der Quelle der Datierung, die Quelle die den neuen Urheber nennt sagt 1903. --Martin H. (talk) 11:52, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
Du bist der erste Bearbeiter den ich packen kann (und der darüber hinaus auch noch Admin ist). Ich möchte natürlich nicht die Originalbezeichnungen und –beschreibungen des Bundesarchivs kaputtmachen. Aber – was haben die Bilder mit Deutsch, Süd-Westafrika zu tun? Gut, man kam auf dem Weg vom Deutschen Reich nach Süd-Westafrika an den Kanarischen Inseln vorbei aber sonst? Die Ortsbestimmung des ersten Bildes habe ich auf der Diskussionsseite begründet. Das zweite Bild zeigt eindeutig Las Palmas de Gran Canria. Zu erkennen sind die Kathedrale und das Gebäude des Theaters das heute den Namen Pérez Galdós trägt. Kannst Du bitte die Beschreibungen und Kategorien ändern?--Koppchen (talk) 17:54, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
Hello. My photos are deleted from my Hungarian Alizée-pages and I'd like to know why. I can't use the same license which was used on the English Wikipedia pages. Could you help me, please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MissKetrin (talk • contribs)
I'm obviously new here and English isn't my native language but it's kinda hard to become a contributor to wiki when everything you try to do is taken down immediatly.
Now:
1. The designer of the 2014 coins didn't die more than 70 years ago, however, Euro coins are part of the public domain and are not a problem for wiki. If you check this page, you can see there are already coins being used for the article.
2. The Commons:Currency page you send me too speeks of banknotes denominated in Belgian francs but here I'm using Euro (and not Belgian francs) coins! And because there already photographs of coins being used on the page about Belgian coins, but also about other similar Euro coins like the French page for example, I think it's OK.
3. Your third point is valid so I won't argue with that ;) But it only concerns 2 of the 12 images I uploaded.
I really hope we can do something about this and come to an agreement because I already used the images for the Belgian coins page and I think we have the right to do so.
One last thing: I was quite sure I had the right to uplaod this because on this page, it clearly says under 'Exceptions' that coins (or 'monnaies' in French) are accepted.
TIA for your answer.
Old socks/RFCU
Hi Martin. Through checks and contribs, I've determined that Commons:Requests for checkuser/Case/Rukshanawahab are early accounts of sockmaster Jermboy27.

If you see further accounts like these with edits on roadsigns, please block them as socks of JB27. Thanks. INeverCry19:33, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
File: Pr. Charles Eugene Quinquaud (1841-1894).jpg
Dear Martin, Guten Abend, good evening,
I fully understand that you could believe that the above mentioned file may have copyright issues, as it has been created from a high resolution picture of the bust of C-E Quinquaud, which is copyrighted by Académie nationale de médecine - Paris, as stated in the description.
The original goal is to illustrate the wikipedia page: Charles Eugène Quinquaud. The people who manage copyrights about this picture (library of Academy) want to keep rights upon the original file. We discussed the fact that any picture file put on wikicommons may be used by anybody for any other use. That is why they decided that only a low-resolution image of this bust (24 or 48 dpi) will be uploaded on wikicommons.
I got the full written authorization to create this low resolution thumbnail picture from the original one. Should you request it, I will give you the email address of the person in Academie nationale de médecine, to get a direct confirmation.
In a first step, I did upload a 48 dpi image, with the title : Charles Eugene Quinquaud (1841-1894).jpg . I have seen that such resolution is still "too good" for the simple use in the wikipedia page. That is why:
I asked this 48 dpi picture to be removed
I uploaded a new file with a lower resolution 24 dpi, with the title: Pr. Charles Eugene Quinquaud (1841-1894).jpg

Its not the laws/rules of Wikimedia COmmons. Its simply copyright laws and the understanding that only the rights owner can license something to someone else for some purposes. In our context of free content 'licensing' means a free license, 'someone else' means anyone, worldwide and 'some purposes' means any purpose including commercial purposes. What you did was trying to impersonate someone else for the purpose of executing those persons right regarding those persons intelectual property rights, i.e. you tried to license someone else property for worldwide commercial reuse without those persons knowledge. I was in contact with said person back in 2011. Sorry, but for an unblock I would ask for some more elaborated explanation. Use

Hi martin. i have a question that maybe change my activity in here to Disable permanently.its right :Every picture of not famous people and people who have not article in english wipedia,should be deleted?--Sonia Sevilla (talk) 12:42, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
Difficult question, a clear answer here isnt possible. A file on Commons must be realistically usefull for educational purposes. Photos of people sometimes fulfill this requirements, sometimes not. Series of photos of people rareley fulfill this requirement. Too often imho it would be nice if the uploaders make a selection and only upload the best of the best of their work and not every photo they created. See e.g. photo agencies who ofers a wide range of stock photographies of people in many situations or doing certain activities, but they have some sort of quality control and only offer the best of the best of photography, not inferior photographs of the same setting. So in general it shouldnt be the focus to avoid photos of non-notable people, the many focus should be to avoid inferior photographs of the same settungs. --Martin H. (talk) 22:59, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
Hilfe bei User/Ref
Lieber Martin H., ich wende mich an Dich, da Du Commons-Admin bist. Vielleicht kannst Du mir weiterhelfen. Ich verwende ein User/Ref, das seit ein paar Tagen nicht mehr korrekt angezeigt wird. Leider weiß ich nicht, was wo geändert wurde. Herzlichen Dank Joadl (talk) 17:35, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
Das war tatsächlich mein Fehler. Den habe ich beim Testen nicht gesehen, weil er nur bei Seiten, die = oder | als 2. Argument übergeben haben auftrat. Falls es auf entsprechenden Seiten noch falsch angezeigt wird, Purgeen hilft, ansonsten fällt es nach 30d sowieso aus dem Cache und wird danach richtig angezeigt.

Dear Mr Martin, thank you for your message. I have send the screen caps of permission that you asked for three pictures of Reino Barack for with the appropriate template for your perusal. Please update the picture information accordingly or please notify me if more information required. Thanks you.Ennio morricone (talk) 05:01, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
The file is deleted so I can no longer access the information, but it was from the French government, which was the license used, but it could very well also fit under "fair use". Without the address, I cannot call up from memory the exact cirumstances that led to the license used. Crtew (talk) 17:59, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
I don't believe you are right about the "fair use" exemption because the journalist is dead and there is no other way to get a photograph of the dead. As a means to illustrate a subject whose photo cannot be obtained otherwise, one may use the photo under this exemption. US Law. The Wikipedia servers are in the United States.

You'd better ask me if my files violate any copyright before marking it. Facepalm.
Beau Coup Images
Good morning Martin, Amherst Records sent an email to permissions to allow me the use of their copyrighted photos from Beau Coup's album cover well over a week ago. Are you able to tell me how I find out the status of that or how they will let me know its ok to put the pictures back on the page? Thanks you for your time Mmcard59 (talk) 11:58, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
There are various problems now.
First it seems like the album cover isnt your own work, but you used the upload option "This file is my own work" in the upload wizard. The correct way is the other option "This file is not my own work".
If you got permission to reuse the file, then you have insufficient permission. The copyright holder must agree that anyone can reuse the file
If the copyright holder agreed that the file can be used in a Wikipedia article (you said this on COM:OTRSN) then you got insufficient permission. The copyright holder must agree that anyone can reuse the file anywhere, for every purpose including commercial purposes and modification.
Aron Aronov is a bulgarian legendary opera-operetta singer. He is off stage now. I think that it's good for students and opera fans if there are some photos and audio in the Wiki. There is no problem with license, because all these photos are made of his family (wife, daughter and me (a friend of them)).
I've done his Wiki, Facebook and Youtube profiles.
You can verify this info by Aronov's e-mail: aronaronov@abv.bg or his facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aron.aronov?fref=ts
or .. mobile: +359888361759
What should I do(or send to you) for returning back the deleted files?

Nadya Toska7(talk)
Sure there is a problem with licensing. You uploaded files with false author information (your "own work") and I think even now you not provide the correct author information. The copyright belongs to the photographer, not to the subject of the photo or the subjects relatives. The photographer has to agree to a free license . --Martin H. (talk) 18:21, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
Fotos Horacio de Eguia
Hola,
He visto que en 2010 eliminaste las fotos que puse en el artículo de https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horacio_de_Egu%C3%ADa. Lamentablemente he estado mucho tiempo a volver a entrar y ahora lo he visto, por lo que querría hacerlo bien esta vez.
Las fotos son propias, por lo que creo que he gestionado correctamente los derechos. Podrías mirar si lo he hecho bien y en qué me he equivocado?
Muchas gracias.
You claimed the photos are the uploders "own work" but provided the name of an artist who died 1991. Thats impossible. You should not use the "its my own work" option in the upload wizard but the "its someone else work" option and provide a source. This authors work are in copyright untill the year 2062 i guess, so you need to provide the copyright owners written permission to a free license. --Martin H. (talk) 20:39, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Hallo Martin,
ich finde leider keine Seite, die explizit das Copyright erwähnt. Nur folgende: Tagesanzeiger vom 19.12.2009 sowie Homepage der Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. Auf der letzten Homepage wird folgendes erwähnt: "[..]The photos you see here of Dr. Leonid Rogozov during the operation were provided courtesy of his son, Dr. Vladislav Rogozov.[...]. Reicht das als Nachweis? Ansonsten gibt es in der türkischen Wiki dasgleiche Bild, vielleicht kann man da jemand die Infos extrahieren? Leider kann ich kein Türkisch... --Wieggy (talk) 09:15, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
Ohne Zustimmung des Urhebers zu einer freien Lizenz ist das Bild nicht frei lizenziert und damit nicht im Projektrahmen. Commons:Projektrahmen#Muss_frei_lizenziert_oder_gemeinfrei_sein. Gemeinfreiheit ist gegeben, wenn der Urheber vor mehr als 70 Jahren verstorben ist, hier also nicht. Das Bild in der Türkischen Wikipedia ist unter fair use, fair use ist die Verwendung urheberrechtlich geschützten Materials zu wissenschaftlichen oder bildenden Zwecken.

Removal of deletion tag from a National Minister's image.
The image 50px is of a national minister (a public figure/servant). And consist all the rights to be distributed further.
I may ,therefore, request the admin(s) to remove the deletion tag from the image.
Removal of deletion tag from a Radio personality's (a public figure) image.
The image File:Full Metal Jackie.jpg is of a Radio personality (a public figure). And consist all the rights to be distributed further. I may ,therefore, request the admin(s) to remove the deletion tag from the image.
see above. The status of the personality has nothing to do with copyrights or a right to distribute the photo... which btw not exists. The photograph is unfree, the photohgrapher must publish it under a free license, thats not the case, your claim that the photo is freely licensed (see filepage) is a lie, the file is unfree and cant be uploaded to our projects. Please learn about free content. --Martin H. (talk) 10:05, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi Martin, I am trying to change that picture because Ilaria asked me to do that. My brother is married to her. What can we do to change that picture? the old one was not added by her and she doesn't want it.
cheers!
As I am unfamiliar with the Wikipedia protocols I do not understand your message entirely. I believe you are requesting proof that I have a legal right to upload and use the photograph I placed in the Leo Felton article. Briefly, I do have that right, and I can prove it. How do I go about providing that information?
Permission question
Martin H:
I have an email from the owner and copyright holder of the photograph I uploaded to the article on Leo Felton, AKA Leo Oladimu. Mr. Oladimu is currently incarcerated at a United States Federal Penitentiary, and therefore, it is not always easy to reach him. I am waiting for him to send me a statement, releasing the photograph to me for use in the Wikipedia article. In the meanwhile, is this image of his email acceptable?
Hi Martin,
last week you commented on a photo I uploaded; My own picture of a small part of a public art work – Lev! – in a bicycle tunnel (outdoors) in Umeå, Sweden. Now a few more photos from the tunnel are uploaded at Special:ListFiles/Mickeno, so you can se for yourself. The art work in question is also included in List over public art in Umeå Municpality. As I have already stated that I grant the photo(s) a wikimedia standard CC license, I request that you remove the warning. /Mickeno (disk) 22 april 2014 kl. 13.03 (CET)
It sure is – it is an integrated part of a 170 meter long glass wall. But I understand that wasn't obvious as I published the close-up before other pictures. Thanks! /Mickeno (disk) 22 april 2014 kl. 13.03 (CET)

Following on from this I just transferred from enwiki File:Borja Golán 2013.jpg by the same user and then noticed that you deleted Category:Squash players from Spain due to flickr washing. I can't see that this image has another source, but I see that they are blocked here and a vast array of Squash related images have been deleted. I'm now not sure if this file should be deleted per the resolution to Commons:Deletion requests/File:Borja Golán.JPG.... I think I might have to investigate the rest of the images are enwiki- Peripitus (talk) 04:19, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

The site says "La información disponible en el sitio web www.congreso.es es susceptible de reutilización y es puesta a disposición del público sin sujeción a condiciones." (Rough translation: The data available in the www.congress.es website is susceptible of reuse and is made available to the public without being subject to conditions). So it says it is public. Furthermore, the criteria explained after that just say, all in all, that the source must be cited (I cited it), that the content of the data is not altered or denatured (refering more to texts and Congress speechs, mainly), that the last update date is mentioned (I did mentioned it in all images) and that it is used for a public use and not in "an exclusive way". I don't know which license should I use in this case because I believe there is not an specific one for this site (just as the {{PD-SpanishGov}}, {{PD-La Moncloa}} and {{PD-La Moncloa New}} are available for Spain). That's why I used that generic one (in hopes that some more experienced user could help out). So, if with this info the images are still unfit for Wikipedia Commons then delete them (I'll gladly proceed to revert all changes I made using these files), but tell me please where is the issue in the www.congreso.es legal note so I can know. Cheers if you can help out. Impru20 (talk) 13:26, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
Ok, so that seems to be the case here. Sorry about that, I didn't know that in addition to being public they needed to be able to be modified as well. Then please delete all of these images (they all can be found in the Spanish Congress of Deputies image profiles Category), and I will revert the changes I made. Cheers. Impru20 (talk) 13:40, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
I have marked all images with the {{Copyvio}} tag so they can be more easily detected and deleted in a speedily fashion, in order to prevent them from generating further issues. Cheers. Impru20 (talk) 14:56, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
File:TaoLA130224.jpg
Hi Martin, you deleted the file for copyvio reasons and mentioned e.g. this link. That blogpost was created on 07/29/13. I can't check the source information anymore, but the revision history of the English Wikipedia shows that the picture was added on 07/20/13. So one should expect that the blog copied the picture from commons. What are the other sources? And what was the licensing information, the user had provided? Thanks for clarification and kind regards, --NiTenIchiRyu (talk) 06:01, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
Photo usage
Hello, an image of Janet Jackson was recently deleted saying it wasn't free content. It was taken from Dreamstime.com, where the usage terms permit a "lifetime granted" royalty free photo "for commercial usages", which "may be used to make fine art prints, on a web site, in a magazine, newspaper, book or booklet, book cover, flyer, application software (apps) or any other advertising and promotional material, in either printed or electronic media." Under these terms, it says the photo can freely be used for commercial usage on websites and electronic media. Can the photo be reuploaded or undeleted? User5482 (talk)
No it cant. The license offered there is a royalty-free license. This means the reuser (licensee) has to pay one-time and can reuse forever. That license agreement is an agremment between the licensor (dreamstime) and the licensee, it is not transferable. So only one person who licensed the image under that conditions for money can reuse the file as you describe, he cant allow others to reuse the file. On Commons we require free reuse for anyone, without asking and without paying. If you pay the license you can use the file, you cant allow others to reuse the file (transfer the license or sublicense). Even if the Wikimedia Foundation pays the money and becomes the licensee we still cant host the file because still it is not considered free content. --Martin H. (talk) 00:48, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
Ok. Would I be able to upload it to Wikipedia only (not Commons) and use it that way, without allowing others to use it since I hold the rights to the license? User5482 (talk)
Yes but I have the license to upload the image and use it on Wikipedia for commercial usage, it wouldn't be an image taken without prior permission or approval. Doesn't that allow me the exclusive rights to use it for display purposes, which would be subject to commentary about the artist in question? User5482 (talk)
If you payed the money and entered a license agreement with that website, then you cant upload the file here. You can not give the operator of Wikipedia - the Wikimedia Foundation - the right to reuse the file (transfere of license). You can not allow others to reuse the file. Wikimedia projects are free content projects. The requirement for including content in Wikipedia is that that content is free! Anyone, every person or company, must be able to download the content from Wikipedia and reuse it for whatever they want. You have 760 edits in Wikipedia, so realy it is time for you to read what the free in Free Encyclopedia means. --Martin H. (talk) 13:34, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi, you have blocked @Allesmüller: for abusing multiple accounts, and @Bunkerfunker: for being a suspected sock of Allesmüller. The issue has been raised here. Can you please elaborate on how the conclusion that both editors are one in the same was reached. Both editors seem to have been productive and I can see no public SPI being performed, or even notification to either editor that their editing was of concern. I've looked at both editors contributions, and I'm not seeing anything that jumps out that would indicate they are the same person. Can you please give further information on why these two editors were blocked, because I am at the moment somewhat inclined to unblock them both. russavia (talk) 02:12, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for your response at the request, I see how these might now be linked -- I missed the now deleted edit from January. It does concern me a little that there is nothing public on this project, such as an SPI case, or is there? russavia (talk) 13:54, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
Do you think it might be a good idea if we were to begin to require case pages for such investigations? If you were to disappear tomorrow, we wouldn't have any idea why they were blocked -- at least with a case page, the entire community will be able to see what occurred. Thoughts? russavia (talk) 15:49, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
A case page at the checkuser-wiki seems more appropriate to me than a page on a public wiki. Jcb (talk) 16:10, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
Jcb is right, from a case page you will see only what you can see in the logs, you will not see the checkuser details. So the CU-wiki and mailing lists are the right place to share infos and get a second opinion. I however rarely use CU-wiki because I dont see the procedural and legal questions of that wiki implemented in meta:CheckUser_policy#Privacy_policy. With legal questions I refer to insufficient information for CUs how to deal with the data they obtained. Under german law (de:Personenbezogene_Daten#Deutschland) i have an obligation for diligent care of this data and i dont know if I comply with this obligation when spreading the data in certain places. Thats why I only write IPs in mails when necessary. --Martin H. (talk) 16:34, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
I am talking not about IPs, but about actual "editors" (account names). There's no reason why a case page couldn't be created for initial CU investigations right here on this project. It would also then give suspected sockpuppeteers a chance to provide input as well (if necessary). Thoughts on that? russavia (talk) 17:37, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
Sounds bureaucratic, if duplicating request pages from other projects (de.wp in this case) for cross-wiki issues is meant or repetition of thoughts mentioned at CU-l by other checkusers. --Martin H. (talk) 19:10, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Dear User,
You have tagged and probably removed the file with the above title as violating the copyright law. This is one of the pages of the book (abstract of one of the Copernicus' books) published in circa 1590, kept in the State Archive of Toruń, and contributed to Wikimedia by AGAD (Polish Central Archives of Historical Records). Could you please explain the reason of tagging and removing this file as copyright violation or reverse your action. Sincerely, Happa (talk) 18:22, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
Thats a photo of a closed book, its not a photographic reproduction of a book page. The photograper enjoys no copyright according to COM:ART or COM:SCAN when we talk about reproductions in 2D, not 3D. --Martin H. (talk) 18:47, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
No, it is not. For uploading something to Commons you need the copyright holders agreement to a free licensing. The TV station didnt publish the content under a free license. --Martin H. (talk) 21:39, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
@JuanCamilo: Regretably that is not true. The license of the source is "Licencia Creative Commons Atribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Unported." In our basic instructions and in our project scope, see Commons:Project_scope/es#T.C3.A9rminos_de_licencia_no_permitidos, it is explicitely mentioned that such unfree content - not free for commercial reuse, not free for modification - is not permited on Commons.
A second point is, the "photography" is a screenshot from a video, its the thumbnail of the video "Este es la videocolumna de Paul Bromberg" which is not even hosted on the source website http://www.dooin.co. Therefore the videoscreenshot is not licensed under any license that is mentioned on http://www.dooin.co but under the licensing of the original publisher which is not known and therefore unlicensed and not ok to use without asking the original publisher. --Martin H.

Sorry Im not good about these tech stuff and also some photos of mine are v bad and poor quality I know. Please remove if you think they are bad. Also, if you feel some thing is wrong or some action is kindly needed, please help, and do the needful on my behalf. I would be grateful and appreciate, I would also bless you and all your dear ones, for your help thanks. Im sorry again, please I am not doing any illegal things, I dont understand and know much about this. I just like sharing photos I take with phone mobile camera or my small personal camera.

Wow, I got caught myself...
Hello,
Thank you for your thorough check on that pic that may not be from The Speaker then. I wasn't even the only one to check the license on the FlickR page actually, and nothing unusual was seen. Coming from a news media (if the account is indeed linked to the media), this kind of acting is really appalling. As I would have not expected this, I strongly am in favour of blacklisting The Speaker as a source of CC images on FlickR as you suggested.
...Damn... I try to be really careful on this kind of thing and there I go. Thanks again...
Vielleicht wäre es hilfreich, wenn Sie mich hier ein wenig unterstützen könnten. Die Bilder stammen von der Deutsche Wochenschau,
d.h. die Bild- und Filmrechte sind meines Wissens bereits abgelaufen (70 Jahre).
Oder muss ich dennoch eine Genehmigung von der Transit Film GmbH für diese Bilder einholen?
Die Schutzfrist berechnet sich immer auf den nachfogenden 1. Januar. Desweiteren kenne ich keine Einschätzung, die mir sagt das die Wochenschau gemeinfrei sei oder ob die Schutzfrist nach dem Tod des letzten beteiligten Urheber zu berechnen ist. In Deutschland ist Urheberrecht ja nicht übertragbar, also verbleibt es immer bei der Person/beim Urheber. Mindestens die verantwortlichen Redakteure sind ja bekannt. --Martin H.

Hola Chogo
Pablo Piñera me pidió personalmente que actualice su foto y me dio permiso para que use esa foto, de una entrevista con revista capital.
Por la misma razón estoy seguro que nació en Diciembre.
Saludos — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bjperez (talk • contribs)
@Bjperez: - I assume you are referring to File:Pp2.jpg. This looks to be a simple misunderstanding. We are happy to have an updated photo of Pablo Pinera, however where the uploader did not create an image themselves, we require independent verification. This is to protect everyone involved. In this case we would need permission from the copyright holder (presumably Capital.cl) sent to our OTRS team, saying that they agree to release the image under a free licence, understanding that this means anyone can use the image for any purpose, including making derivative works or using it for financial gain. If you can get that then an OTRS agent will undelete the file for you.

Estamos felices de tener una foto actualizada de Pablo Piñera, sin embargo, cuando el cargador no creó una imagen a sí mismos, se requiere una verificación independiente. Esto es para proteger a todos los involucrados. En este caso sería necesario el permiso del titular de los derechos de autor (presumiblemente Capital.cl) enviado a OTRS nuestro equipo, diciendo que están de acuerdo para liberar la imagen con un licencia libre, entendiendo que esto significa que cualquiera puede usar la imagen para cualquier propósito, incluyendo la realización de obras derivadas o usarlo para obtener ganancias financieras. Si usted puede conseguir que entonces un agente OTRS será recuperar el archivo para usted. -mattbuck (Talk) 20:05, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
Hi ! You wrote : You can not upload photos created/modified after other photographers original photos here unless those original photos are in the public domain. OK, but I have two questions. 1)- I draw it [17] since some pictures, the main one is a photography from an unknown author, in a public library : is it in the public domain ? 2)- concerning Klaus Iohannis, when a picture is a screencopy of a videomovie as [18], is it in the public domain ? Thank you. --Spiridon Ion Cepleanu (talk) 18:29, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

Re: Linda Thorson photos
All of them have the copyright free with attribution listed on the backs of the photos which are in the original uploads. We hope (talk) 23:17, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
"ABC Television Picture Copyright Free if ABC Credited".
The text is a license. Yes. But what reason do we have to believe that it is a contract between ABC and Anyone? Its a license between the licensor ABC and the one who received the photo, the licensee. --Martin H. (talk) 23:19, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

The user has uploaded two files exactly like the once you deleted because it didn't like me nominating the first photo for deletion. Should those be removed too? 198916:43, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
Hello, Martin! Thank you for your messages. I think I've misunderstood the correct form of upload these files. They are public photografies, that are in official sites. Please, give some time that I'll edit the correct informations as soon as possible. Carlosvicini (talk) 21:02, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
Hello! About the date, I've described the day that I published in Commons and not the date of the picture. Is it correct?
You're right about the copyright of GenAlbuquerque.jpg. This picture is later then 1983. In this case, may I use the template PD-Scan?
All the pictures I've published are from Public Domain in Brazilian Government sites. Great part of then older then 1983. Could you suggest me what is the correct template for the others?
No, PD-Scan means, that the person who created a scan (which is a reproduction of a 2D work) can not claim copyright for making the scan. Scanning/creating a photocopy is not creative work and not covered by copyright law at least in the U.S. See Commons:When to use the PD-Scan tag. For a >1983 work you need written permission for publication under a free license, otherwise you can not upload the file. For <1983 works you need to provide evidence of publication at that time. --Martin H. (talk) 21:16, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
Utente Infinitato
ciao, ti scrivo per chiederti che cosa ha fatto di male l' utente a1cb3,, vedi, io ho visto Questi caricamenti, e non ho visto alcun segno di abuso e di vandalismo o Copyviol, perchè ho sentito dire che a1cb3 è stato bloccato da wikipedia globalmente, lui era un vandalo in wikipedia, ma non capisco qual' è la sua colpa in commons? (scusa, ma ho provato a vedere la mia versione inglese di GOOGLE TRADUTTORE, è sbagliata,, perciò, non ti assicuro, come riceverai la traduzione inglese)
--87.15.94.20923:05, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
be insomma, a me mi sembra, che nonostante i sockpuppets, le alcune sue immagini siano valide, e corrette, senza violazioni di Copyright, secondo me però forse alcune utenze adavano lasciate libere, perchè io penso che un utenza su commons, non vada bloccata secondo i sochpupet, ma secondo alcune copyviol e abuso di potere della propria utenza, perchè questo utente aveva caricato delle imagini, che fino ad oggi, non hanno causato problemmi di copyviol ecc. lei cosa ne pensa? --82.50.38.10412:01, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
We have no use for users who upload a mixture of copyright violations and "good" files (some with correct info, regretably most with false claims on source and authorship). There are not enough ressources (i.e. active users) here who can baby-sit such guys. --Martin H. (talk) 12:06, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
be se dovessero passare alcuni anni o mesi (Circa), e lui dovesse tornare, voi lo blocchereste ancora? , però sapendo che lui è maturato, e che è riuscito a conoscere le regole di commons --82.50.38.10412:13, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
I dont see why this is your busines. Just look at the most recent globaly locked user Barone di manzo in Umido (talk·contribs). That user is stealing media files from the internet. Drawings of Coats of Arms. Two different works are to conside: The making of the drawing (maybe copyrighted) and the design of the CoA (maybe out of copyright). The user is lying about the source, he claims it comes from the book http://books.google.it/books?id=8N5DAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA88&hl=it&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=2#v=onepage&q&f=false. The particular drawing not comes from the book. We have no eveidence that the drawing is free. Providing false sources is a violation of our core principles.
On the other hand this user frequently uploads stolen, obviously stolen photos of cars. You see, the block of this guy is legit. --Martin H. (talk) 12:17, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
no , quell'ì utenza non è di mia competenza, comunque qull' utenza, puoi anche lasciarla li com' è, il problemma, che l' indirizzo Ip dell' utente, è condiviso da due pc, ecco come mai l' utente fa fatica ad inserire i dati che compromettono la validità dell' immagini, dichiarandola quasi apertamente una violazione di copyright,, io non voglio prendere le difese sei suckpupet, ma di quella della prima utenza, non degli altri è
If your IP adress is affected by this idiots sockpuppet work on Commons im sorry, theres nothing I can do for your then. --Martin H. (talk) 12:32, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
, vede la mia utenza ufficiale era a1cb3, la usavo su wikipedia, ma non sapevo come si caricavano le immagini su commons,, poi un giorno ci ero riuscito ma mi avevano bloccato globalmente, io ammetto davanti a lei, che la seconda utenza da me creata, è [[User:Filippo Corradi
]], questa è stata fino a pochi giorni fa l' utenza che decisi di creare dopo a1cb3, ma sinceramente, io non so da dove provengano tutti sti idioti di sochpuppet, o come si dice PUPAZZII o MARIONETTE la ringrazio dei blocchi che ha fatto --82.50.38.10412:38, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi Martin!
I hope this is the right page to post my questions! Now I'am a bit confused where to discuss my problems! I am a new user to Wikimedia and have recently uploaded a few images:
File:Vis and Ramin, Cchoreography of Nima Kiann.jpg
File:Symphony of Elegy, choreographed by Nima Kiann.jpg
File:Nima Kiann.JPG
File:Femme choreography of Nima Kiann.jpg
These files are not pending for deletion. The source of the images where I got them, the foundation of Les Ballets Persans, sent recently an email (a declaration of consent) to Wikimedia but the deletion tag is not removed yet. Is there anything else I should do? Please help. Thanks.
Mittimoe (talk) 10:56, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
Seems like the problem has been resolved in the meantime. If not: replace the "no permission" tag on the file description page with {{subst:opd}}. --Martin H. (talk) 11:21, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
Previous to the upload you asked about the archive in general. You not asked about this individual files.
The page http://www.gahetna.nl/en/about-us/open-data states, that if a file is published as open content you will see a clear indication of the CC0 license on the HTML and XML of an individual archive. See for example [20] which got a clear indication of a free license.
vede . Io vorrei crearmi un account . Ma come posso fare per evitare di essere scambiato per a1cb3 perche ion mi chiamo Filippo Corradi --82.52.33.18115:58, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
I emailed you several times requesting to delist me from blocked flickr users. I know that I can still use commons directly, but it would be much convenient for me to use flickr instead and then upload them here. Here is the diff. Please delist me. Faizan10:16, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
I answered you various times that a delisting is not required. Your flick account has nothing of use for this project, so far the only use of that flickr account was abuse. --Martin H. (talk) 10:42, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
So far? Yeah because only in the first attempt you listed me there? How could I make a usenext time? I admit that I abused the tools, unintentionally, and I would not do it again. Faizan14:46, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

with 4 years difference... If you look at e.g. at the street at the right side of the pillar at the Brooklyn side. There is a (grey) truck on both pictures and a (yellow) truck behind the other truck. There is a bus on the other side of the street. This photos have been taken the same day. The info on Commons is correct but our source (LoC) is wrong about. --Martin H. (talk) 12:40, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
Not sure I follow what you are saying there, but if you can annotate the images appropriately, I'd be all for that. - Jmabel ! talk16:59, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
I understand why you removed the photos that had restrictions on copyright yesterday, but why did you remove the wording connected to the one skyline photo that indicated it was an old view of Oklahoma City's skyline that wasn't current? That was intended to help the viewer of the Wikimedia page. When I added that statement, I didn't remove any edits from previous users, either. I don't understand.
Thanks for your help on this. We want to provide the most current and accurate Oklahoma City information possible. I am a former newspaper journalist/reporter/editor who worked in the industry for roughly 20 years, and I only left that business a year ago. Accuracy and integrity are extremely important to me.
Hallo Martin, danke für den Fotografen. Aber wie komme ich denn zum „library catalog“? Ich kann auf der Seite nichts dergleichen entdecken. Danke! No Talkback needed. --Ras67 (talk) 18:46, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
