Cropped versions

Why are you creating and re-uploading cropped versions of existing files? Unless you have some intended purpose in mind for these cropped images that can't be accomplished by the originals, please stop doing this. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 23:47, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Again, please stop cropping and re-uploading versions of files for no reason. If you continue doing this, I will propose such files for deletion. -- Andre Carrotflower (talk) 18:16, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Publicity photo of Arthur Gunter.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 03:38, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

File:Tous pour un avec le bataillon outre-mer des 199ième Irish Canadian Rangers.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

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!

tifs and jpgs

Hello! I see you are uploading crops. However, please see COM:TIFF: TIF files are generally less desirable for display purposes: they sometimes render oddly on Wikipedia or other platforms, or take longer to be displayed. If a file has both JPG and TIF versions (as is the case in many Library of Congress images), neat crops intended to be displayed should be made from the JPG, e.g. File:Rappe LCCN2014713220.jpg rather than File:Rappe LCCN2014713220.tif. My general rule of thumb is JPG is the best file format for photographs, PNG is best for crisp line art, and TIF best used as the lossless "master copy" to download and adapt, with derivatives saved as more appropriate file types.

When you oppose on COM:FPC

Welcome to FPC, User:Ooligan! Always glad to have another reviewer at FPC. Just one small thing: Whenever we oppose on FPC, we have to give a reason, even if it's "Per [someone else's username]". Otherwise, the opposing vote won't count.

All the best,

Flickr2Commons

I have just come across a few images you have recently uploaded from Flickr. I would appreciate it if in the future, you used the Flickr2Commons tool. This tool allows images to be moved to Commons from Flickr without having to download the images to your own computer. It also brings in the largest resolution of the image, as well making sure to list the correct license and url, making it easy for the automated Flickr Review system. Also, it is fairly easy to categorize images with this tool. To use it, you just need to go to the url and authorize it (where it says "authorise first").--A1Cafel (talk) 03:29, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Overcat?

[1] seems redundant to me. Category:Black and white photographs of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition is a subcat of Category:Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, which in turn is a subcat of Category:1909 in Seattle. Is there some reason for this edit that I'm missing? - Jmabel ! talk 20:50, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

US Gov Contractor reports...

Per your comment in a recent DR, I will point you at Category:IA_mirror_related_deletion_requests/deleted, in case you wanted to review any files that you think were deleted for the wrong reasons.

I am not going to be reviewing what I consider to be 'good-faith' nominations, based on my understanding of what {{PD-US-Gov}} covered however.

https://www.usa.gov/government-works states:- "Works prepared for the government by independent contractors may be protected by copyright. The copyrights may be owned by the independent contractor or by the U.S. government." .

That was the rationale behind a number of the DR nominations of 'contractor' reports, as it cannot be automatically assumed that they are covered by {{PD-US-Gov}}, and where it was clear that there had been a contribution by a Non-federal or Non Governmental entity, a potential copyright held by the non-federal entity has to be considered. ( I will note however that a number of the DR's of this nature proved to be documents without a (C) notice anyway.)

There are still a number of Fae's upload's that are incorrectly tagged as {{PD-US-Gov}}, and any contribution from others on Commons such as yourself to establish the correct license ( most likely no-notice or not-renewed works) is welcomed.

On the specifics of the Cranberry magazine - I would have no objection to your requesting a Deletion Review on Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_in_Category:The_National_Cranberry_Magazine_(1968_onwards) given that you've identified some issues after 1968 may have defective notices. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 22:12, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

You are wrong.

Re:- Commons:Deletion requests/File:Cranberries; - the national cranberry magazine (IA cranberriesnatio6668port).pdf

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Copyright_Act_of_1909 - Section 18 reads:-

"Sec. 18. That the notice of copyright required by section nine of this Act shall consist either of the word "Copyright" or the abbreviation "Copr." accompanied by the name of the copyright proprietor, and if the work be a printed literary, musical, or dramatic work, the notice shall include also the year in which the copyright was secured by publication. In the case, however, of copies of works specified in subsections (f) to (k), inclusive, of section five of this Act, the notice may consist of the letter C inclosed within a circle, thus: ©, accompanied by the initials, monogram, mark, or symbol of the copyright proprietor: Provided, That on some accessible portion of such copies or of the margin, back, permanent base, or pedestal, or of the substance on which such copies shall be mounted, his name shall appear."

this says the word "Copyright" OR the symbol, can be used Your defective notice argument doesn't apply.

I checked what it actually said, when you raised the issue of a defective notice. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 13:00, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Category discussion warning

Text:Colored has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion 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. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category.

In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you!
