Archive rather than delete

Hello.
Your unwillingness to archive this talk page in a proper way is a contravention of an official guideline. Don‘t you deem yourself among a kind of people exempted from all this official stuff? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 15:23, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

File:Honeymoon.jpg

Hi, the speedy delete reason for File:Honeymoon.jpg appears out of policy. Could you please undelete and raise a DR? Thanks --Fæ (talk) 12:24, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Please, explain removal of relevant category (note the woman holds a dissected cylindrical object). Do not provoke me into submitting a user-conduct report – ignoring user_talk regulations and an arbitrary deletion sum up to a sufficient pretext. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 16:18, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

You provoke yourself.

As you wrote, she holds "a dissected cylindrical object", which may or may not be a choco cake. If you look through that category, you will see why adding this image there is not helpful. Anyway, I would appreciate if you wrote on some other talk pages, not this one. Materialscientist (talk) 00:22, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Mondadori photos

Someone want to delete some photos from Mondadori agency I uploaded, like Adrien Cayla-Legrand — DS — The Day of the Jackal (1973).jpg and Harrison Ford — Raiders of the Lost Ark.jpg. He claims that those photos can't be under PD-Italy because they were not taken in Italy. Is he right ? - Groupir ! (talk) 16:12, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

PD-Italy

@Ruthven:@Jameslwoodward:@Prosfilaes:@Lethiernois:Hello. I've read (and I guess quite understood) your analysis on the Italian law above and your further today comments on other deletion requests. So I would like to know your comment on this one : why should a photography by Angelo Deligio should be deleted from Commons and others by Mario De Biasi (or others) be kept ? Is it an administrator's choice ? We had recently a discussion at COM:BI#PD-Italy upon the traduction of "scattata in Italia" and users seems to agree that Italian law may not apply to works made outside Italy (but I might be wrong). Anyway one user is asking if pictures made outside Italy before 1976 by Italian citizens ([1], [2]) are eligible for Commons. Thanks for your reply. Kind regards, Patrick Rogel (talk) 16:27, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

@Patrick Rogel: Of course Italian law applies in Italy, not in other countries! So I don't understand from where the extension to all Italian photographers comes. --Ruthven (msg) 17:10, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Commons requires that images be free in the country of origin and in the United States. "Country of origin" usually means the country in which the image was first published, so as a general rule, Italian law should be applied only to those images that were first published in Italy. Images taken by Italian photographers outside of Italy and images taken in Italy but first published elsewhere will not, generally, have Italian law applied to them. There is a significant exception, however. If an image is published in multiple countries within thirty days, then the country of origin is the country with the shortest copyright term, see Berne Convention. .     Jim . . .

"Monitoring""

Ah, so this DR is about me and my uploads, which User:Patrick Rogel closely monitors.

Hi. I believed you were aware that I was patroling (or "monitoring", if you wish) files within Category:PD Italy (20 years after creation) and if you didn't know it until now it's perhaps because you're not reading your talk page enough carefully (and omit to reply to questions asked there). You didn't reply either to the burden of proof I was evoking yesterday and your "obligation to properly document the files [you] upload" by proving that "this photograph has ever been published (in Italy or somewhere else)". I've praised too your recent behaviour consisting on "uploading images with first publication in Italy (from Radiocorriere) which were correctly described" and I'm sorry you if there's a misunderstanding concerning my compliments (English is not my native language).

Stamps in Switzerland

Are you sure that this applies to stamps? I think it depends upon the legal definition of "means of payment". By the way, there's a disclaimer on the English translation: English is not an official language of the Swiss Confederation. This translation is provided for information purposes only and has no legal force - in the official languages it's "Zahlungsmittel" (German), "les moyens de paiement" (French), and "i mezzi di pagamento" (Italian). Also, since several years, the Swiss Post is no longer a government agency, as it used to be, but an officially "privatized", though fully state-owned limited company. So, the suggested template {{PD-Switzerland-official}} doesn't seem to fit, as the Swiss Post isn't able to issue "official" material. Maybe it's applicable for older stamps before the privatization only? Or not at all? Gestumblindi (talk) 11:49, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

"les moyens de paiement" and "i mezzi di pagamento" are undoubtedly "means of payment", and stamps are one of them. It does not matter who makes them, as long as the government accepts them as means of payment. Materialscientist (talk) 13:00, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

I'm really not sure you can emphatically state that stamps are considered in the same vein as currency, as a means of payment. Essentially stamps are only a receipt for a service to be rendered: you can't go into a shop and buy a loaf of bread, or anything else, with stamps in Switzerland AFAIK. Both Commons:Copyright rules by territory#Switzerland and Copyright law of Switzerland only mention currency under the exemptions and specifically do not mention stamps. You have also added the same type of notice to some other countries. Let me talk to a Swiss philatelic friend who might know more. Ww2censor (talk) 16:08, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

I would agree with Ww2censor: you use money (currency), i.e. "means of payment", to buy stamps, these then are a kind of receipts or vouchers for the services of a particular company (in this case, the Swiss Post AG, they will deliver your mail) - but you have paid for the stamps, not with the stamps, I'd say...? Gestumblindi (talk) 22:11, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

There are many means of payment, and long time ago all (most) governments decided to use one, money, for convenience. This was not always the case. When you "buy" stamps, you exchange one form of payment into another. Contrary to many other copyright laws, the Swiss law is rather unambiguous; if they wanted to limit the law to money, they would explicitly say so. Materialscientist (talk) 22:54, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that "Zahlungsmittel" refers to legal tender (which stamps are not) and not to any kind of thing you can use to "pay" for something - I could give you a valuable painting in exchange for a car, but that wouldn't make the painting a legal "means of payment". Current Swiss stamps are also no kind of official work whatsoever, as they're not issued by a government agency. But I think I will present this question to German-language Wikipedia's copyright issues forum (de:Wikipedia:Urheberrechtsfragen) and ask for more opinions there. Gestumblindi (talk) 02:02, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Notes: 1) Stamps are mass-produced and have some fixed value attached to them. (When you send a letter, you have to stick stamps according to the numbers printed on them, which is irrelevant to the actual value or number of stamps). 2) "Zahlungsmittel" may be ambiguous, but "les moyens de paiement" and "i mezzi di pagamento" are not, and all three terms must be legally equal in Switzerland. Hence interpretation of "Zahlungsmittel" alone does not make a difference. 3) "buying" stamps does not specify any particular service; people can use those stamps to pay for various services, not limited to the post. I personally used stamps not only for sending letters/parcels/postcards, but also when paying for my immigration documents last year (this is a standard procedure in my current country of residence, and it is unrelated to postage). Materialscientist (talk) 02:16, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi again; I have now looked up the matter in one of the leading Swiss law commentaries (Barrelet/Egloff: Das neue Urheberrecht, Bern 2008, ISBN 978-3-7272-9563-8), and there it is clearly stated on page 33 that the "means of payment" exemption from copyright does not apply to stamps. I'm quoting: "Hingegen geniessen Briefmarken Urheberrechtsschutz, da sie keine Zahlungsmittel sind und auch sonst unter keine Ausnahmebestimmung fallen". My translation: On the other hand, stamps enjoy copyright protection, because they are not means of payment, and furthermore don't fall under another exemption clause. So, with this citation, I'm going to change Commons:Stamps/Public domain accordingly. Gestumblindi (talk) 22:21, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Are we sure that Liechtenstein does not come under the same copyright as Switzerland? I imagine it is the same and not free of copyright. Ww2censor (talk) 22:58, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

I'd say that stamps are means of payment, unless explicitly stated otherwise. See also Romanian stamps. Materialscientist (talk) 22:59, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

But you said that about Switzerland and the two are very closely related in copyright terms. It likely needs more research. Ww2censor (talk) 23:06, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

I said it about any country, not just Switzerland. Yes, Switzerland and Liechtenstein are closely related in legal rules, but not necessarily in legal exceptions, like the one mentioned by Gestumblindi. Materialscientist (talk) 00:23, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

I see that you already uploaded some recent stamps of Switzerland. Certainly in good faith, but as it's now clear that stamps are protected by copyright in Switzerland, maybe you would consider taking care of the deletion of these? Gestumblindi (talk) 22:03, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

File:TOAT AFM.png

I'm looking at the source article, and the closest I can find that matches this image is Supplementary Figure 5e[3] for the left part of the commons image. What is the origin of the right part of the commons image? Having them separate would improve reusability. But more importantly, Figure 5e is simulated, whereas 5d is actual experimental. Could you check if this is all correct, so the descriptions can be clarified and an actual experimental image added if we don't already have one? DMacks (talk) 16:12, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

I suppose there is some reason you deleted this file.

Some years ago I spent several months finding photos of oldtimers and uploading them to commons. I included clickable links with precise descriptions of sources and extensive categorization. It seems you followed that link, uploaded an identical version and renamed it with extension .png, included character for character the image description I wrote, then deleted my original contribution, as if I never existed. Not cool! ----

I have no problems restoring that file, but I see no need for that. Commons is not a cemetery, it is a database of encyclopedic images. I must tell that I greatly appreciate your image work.

I can split File:Paul Renne, Robert Léger, Henri Place, Michel Harispe.jpg into four, and clean up the crops, but I have a reliable identification only for Léger, and would prefer to have more ID details. Anonymous-EU is a valid license, yet it is a relatively weak license and can always be questioned. Deloncle's photos should be fine, because their copies are available on Gallica.

Wow ! Thank you very much, Materialscientist : you're the best !!! :-)

Just a precision about the Parisian Members of la Cagoule in 1937.jpg file : in fact, this photograph displays only a socialite masquerade (after Minister Marx Dormoy's revelation of the Cagoule conspiracy) and not the real conspirators. Maybe the file's title should clarify that ?

And I have one more favor to ask... Could you upload also this file [9] in order to replace this one, please ? Thanks again !

Hello, Materialscientist. I'm very demanding but... a last favor, maybe ? ;-)

In order to replace this file [11], could you upload this one [12] ([13]) using the spelling Jean Filiol (and not the wrong spelling Jean Filliol), please ? :-) Best regards. --Guise (talk) 13:25, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi. I accidentally exposed some of my personal info (the gps location actually) . so please remove all my uploaded pictures after June 1st 2018 until July 3rd 2018 and remove the history if it is needed: link. I talked with User:Yann but it seems he is busy. Many Thanks , Leyth (talk) 18:05, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

Seeking advice about copyfraud

Hello, Materialscientist.

I have uploaded these two posters [14] - [15].

The Bibliothèque historique de la Ville de Paris states that the authors are unknow or anonymous and the poster had entered the public domain ("Droits domaine public") [16] - [17].

But the Musée-Archives-Bibliothèque- Grande Loge de France [18] and Fotostock [19] claim respectively the copyright, without any significant information [20], [21], [22].

Can I have your opinion about these presumed copyfrauds, please ? Thank you very much !

Best regards. --Guise (talk) 21:15, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Moot. None of those links are reliable in judging the copyright status, especially agefotostock (they simply claim copyright because their re-photographed the poster, but according to Commons, reproducing a 2D work does not bring any new copyright). As usual, you can claim {{Anonymous-EU}} because nobody knows the authors, and others may disagree. Ronhjones is correct that these images do not comply with COM:URAA, and there is no clear opinion about strict enforcing URAA on Commons. Materialscientist (talk) 23:13, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks again, Materialscientist ! :-) I'll mention your informative post in the French Village pump. Best regards. --Guise (talk) 23:24, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

File:Busan Christmas Festival.jpg

I am writing to let you know that you deleted the file too hastily. Indeed, it contains embedded data, but it is standard, not harmful junk attached by some Samsung devices with AtomJPEG software – it may be removed using e.g. jpegtran utility. These days virtually all files tagged by the bot are of this type. Pirates rarely try to upload images with attached archives (with pirated software) or music/videos because vast majority of them is immediately deleted by the bot. --jdx ^Re: 09:37, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

File source is not properly indicated: File:Elaheh Mansourian 2014b.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Elaheh Mansourian 2014b.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file ([[:File:Elaheh Mansourian 2014b.jpg]]). If you created the content yourself, enter {{own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Regarding a few files I uploaded

Hello,

I see that (according to your message on my talk page), you tagged some files that I uploaded as missing evidence of permission. (Please see the list of files below)

• File:PC George 1.jpeg
• File:Writer Priya A S.JPG
• File:Priya A S Writer.JPG
• File:PC George 3.jpeg
• File:PC George 2.jpeg
• File:PC George 6.jpeg
• File:PC George 4.jpeg
• File:PC George 5.jpeg
• File:Siby Mathews 1.jpeg
• File:Siby mathews 2.jpeg
• File:PC George 7.jpeg

All these photos are taken by me and it is me who uploaded them to commons. It is clearly mentioned in the files that I own the rights & that it is my own work. So I don't understand why these files are marked as missing evidence of permission. let me know what to do

Hello, Materialscientist !

Would you be kind enough to provide your opinion about this deletion request, please ?

In spite of my searches, I didn't find any copyright or any author's name...

Best regards. --Guise (talk) 14:59, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

I have looked into this and could not find any better source than [23]. That source is unclear about the author and publication date, hence I won't join that deletion request, unless I get some new thought. Materialscientist (talk) 02:06, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

Multiple uploads at File:Menshutkin.jpg

Could you take a look at the history of this file? It looks like you imported it from ruwiki, then uploaded a different one from another source (and updated the tags) but left the upload log from ruwiki. Then someone else reverted to the previous and left your source tags. I'm ambivalent about which file is better, but having mixed up tags and multiple images from different sources at the same filename is a problem. DMacks (talk) 10:05, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Cyanostar images

Materialscientist,

I'm working on en:Cyanostar, where I found your File:Cyanostar STM.png image. Nice of RSC to open-license their supporting information! But could you clarify which specific part of it is the bottom image? Closest I can find is the lower-right panel of Figure S5, but then mirrored left-to-right. I was thinking about separating the STM from the skeletal diagram into separate files, and wanted to make sure the STM component got correctly attributed (including your/my edits as appropriate). Also, should File:Cyanostar STM.jpg be scrapped? DMacks (talk) 10:14, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

As I recall (this was 3 years ago), I have mirrored Fig. S5 just to match the structural formula. I was unhappy with the STM image quality and just quickly tweaked it hoping it may be useful. I left File:Cyanostar STM.jpg because of rendering of the structural formula (different pixel resolution does not matter for the poor STM image), but perhaps it is indeed not needed and can be deleted.
