File:Finch ON.JPG

Hi there. I notice you overwrote your original upload of this file with a different file. Was this intentional? If not, could you split the second upload to a new file? Also, could you provide date info for the new file, as I doubt that it was taken in June. Thanks. Mindmatrix 14:11, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Ditto for File:Webbwood ON.jpg. Mindmatrix 15:33, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

• @Mindmatrix: Yes both were intentional overwrites. I will update the dates later on. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 16:55, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Deleted Page

Hi P199, I just noticed that you deleted 3 files I uploaded: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Canadian_flag,_maple_syrup_and_hockey_on_coloring-page.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1 https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Coloring_page_presenting_Egyptian_flag_and_Sphinx.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1 https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Australian_flag_and_symbols_on_coloring_page.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1

I checked https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing but I'm not sure which law has been violated? I created all 3 submitted images and I'm the owner of two websites where these pictures are published. What should I do in this situation to have them republished? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Janmarian83 (talk • contribs) 19:22, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi @Janmarian83: The website that you took the images from clearly states "All rights reserved" (= copyvio). Being the website owner is irrelevant, you need to prove that you are the creator of the images, and you need to send that proof using an OTRS ticket, see COM:OTRS.

@Pi3.124: That is not sufficient. There is no credit to the original portrait photographers. And what evidence is there that the images were indeed released as PD? --P 1 9 9  ✉ 01:49, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

I discussed the origin of the photographs with the daughter and granddaughter on the phone and they sent the following email to me:

Original Message-----

From: jennifer ancheta [1] Sent: Saturday, May 11, 2019 5:27 AM To: xxxxx Subject: Picture of Nazario B Mayor

The picture has no copyright. The picture was found in his album of pictures that he had by his oldest daughter Nelllie Loudon Mayor Loleng. There was no date or writing on the back of it. He had quite a few pictures of himself as he loved to freeze time and frequently wrote about the time in his life when it was taken. Usually something profound. This had nothing. We FaceTimed our family in the Philippines to ask and they all said it was my Aunt who submitted it and there’s no info. Any person that would have taken that picture has probably left the earth to a heavenly state by now

Please let me know if any other questions come up. We are happy to reinvigorate his legacy

Please look at your edits at 15:01, 30 October 2018. If you take a closer look at the picture you can see that the A-pillar of the car at the lower-right. I don't see any reason for it to be removed, so could you please explain why?--Kai3952 (talk) 17:53, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

@P199: What do you think?--Kai3952 (talk) 11:35, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

@Kai3952: The visible piece of the A-pillar is so small, it's inconsequential, it doesn't define the image. --P 1 9 9  ✉ 12:59, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

Look at what you said earlier: "It is simpler to just add a description to the page that clarifies that a portion of the vehicle must be visible." The A-pillar is a portion of the automobile. Why do you think that it is "inconsequential"? Even if the visible piece of the A-pillar is so small, we can still see it in the picture. So...where is your standard? --Kai3952 (talk) 17:47, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

What's your point? You already put back the category a long time ago. This is a totally moot discussion... --P 1 9 9  ✉ 20:06, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

I have expected that you would follow what you said, that's what my point is. Now I am worried that you may have made the same mistake elsewhere. I have to take the time to check your every edit.--Kai3952 (talk) 21:16, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

@P199: Look at your edits. Just as I expected would happen, you have made the same mistake elsewhere. The car hood can be seen at the bottom of the picture(to me that is clear), so I don't know why you didn't see it.--Kai3952 (talk) 05:09, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Deletion of House illustrations

Hi, I just read Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Illustrations of the cast of House (television programme) following the automatic removal of these pictures from Wikipedia. I don't have access to all of them, but I do remember the looks of File:House graffiti.jpg.

Doesn't it comply with Commons:Fan art#There is no copyright in an actor's likeness? Tomer T (talk) 19:01, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

@Tomer T: Restored File:House graffiti.jpg as per Commons:Deletion requests/File:House graffiti.jpg. As per the COM:FAN: " if the fan art drawing is a wholly new creative representation showing the actor’s natural likeness plus some non-creative allusion to the original work, it can be accepted". The rest are clearly not wholly new. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 19:26, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

However, it does not "copy creative elements from the movie". What do you suggest to do? Reopen a deletion discussion for this image? What's the protocol for that? Tomer T (talk) 19:33, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

You had more than a month-and-a-half to comment on the DR. We can't start a discussion after the DR closed. The protocol is to ask for undeletion, see COM:UNDEL. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 13:10, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:KurtBeckJohannesRau.jpg

Hello P199. It is not the small image that I worry. What I wanted to point out is that there is a human head that does not exist between the sitting people, and that we can not see the hairstyle that the person sitting behind can see. This photograph is clearly a collage and it is impossible for the uploader to shoot. And this uploader's images has been deleted in large quantities. I do not think that he made this collage with his material. I am sorry for the inconvenience, but please check again.--Y.haruo (talk) 16:43, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

@Y.haruo: I don't see the clear evidence of a collage. Yes I see that there are some persons mostly blocked from view by others. But the image is so small and with little depth perspective, and depending on just the right camera position, it is possible to get funny/strange anomalies in pictures. It is not conclusive to me. If you still feel strongly about it, I suggest to get a 3rd opinion. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 17:06, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Let's wait for the third party's opinion.--Y.haruo (talk) 17:35, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

The discussion on Administrators' noticeboard is over. For more information see Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive 74#Commons:Deletion requests/File:KurtBeckJohannesRau.jpg. By the way, I removed this image from wikipedia excluding the Hebrew version on June 27th. (I did not know the location of the Hebrew version of the image.) The reason is "useless file like collage". Two weeks have passed, but no one has restored this file. I find this to be a true third-party view. The fact that this file remains is of course negative for Commons, but I think it is also negative for the uploader. The fact that this file remains is to leave a black mark permanently for the uploader. Please let me know your opinion if you have that.--Y.haruo (talk) 20:29, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Sorry @Y.haruo: but there is no third opinion at the AN. Achim merely concludes that fotoforensics can be fooled, but it's very hard to do so. And Túrelio states it's highly improbable that this user would claim something untrue. You are still the only one arguing for its deletion. I will take no further action on this file. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 01:30, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Standard Model of Elementary Particles outlines.svg

You have deleted the file without proper discussion or responses to the deletion request. A random nomination is certainly not enough to delete someone's work from Wikimedia Commons, yes? The nomination is basically just a I-don't-like-it plea. Please give a real reason. Cush (talk) 21:54, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

@Cush: It was deleted because it was a (near) duplicate of an existing file without any purpose. That is a deletion reason. If you felt that it should not be deleted, well, you didn't provide any argument to keep it at the DR. --P 1 9 9  ✉ 14:34, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

The purpose is use by third parties, as mentioned in the DR. Cush (talk) 15:53, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by User:EctopicOnSchedule

Hello I am trying to understand why you think an OTRS ticket is needed for the images you have deleted. I've read thoroughly the Commons:OTRS page and it states clearly 'When contacting OTRS is unnecessary' because 'I found the image on Flickr where it was marked as having been released under a free license.' Would you please explain? I am trying to learn. --EctopicOnSchedule (talk) 17:20, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

@EctopicOnSchedule: The problem is license laundering: Ana-Maria Sandi is releasing images for free on Flickr that are not her own, but by artist Dumitru Bâșcu. Because the artist has died already, his heir needs to submit an OTRS ticket to proof who owns the copyright. --P 1 9 9  ✉ 17:34, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

This file was used in WMPL wiki, so in scope. Why was it deleted? Ankry (talk) 11:10, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

@Ankry: As you can see in my closing comment, I indeed wanted to keep the files that are in use. Because there were dozens of files involved in this DN, I must have missed or overlooked this one. Sorry, about that. I will restore it. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 12:18, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. BTW, I think they all might be in scope as the uploader is a notable artist. But, I think, this requires identity confirmation through OTRS. So let's leave it now as it is. Ankry (talk) 12:35, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

@Ankry: Notable? While I don't understand Polish, I do know that many wikis don't have the same rigorous standards for notability as the English wiki does. Furthermore, if we can believe that the uploader is indeed the artist herself, than this is pure self promotion, and that is certainly out of scope. And as for OTRS, you are right and that is required for these images. --P 1 9 9  ✉ 12:56, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Definitely not selfpromotion as the upload was not the artist's initiative. She was asked to do so. Maybe promotion of WMPL activity or promotion of Wikimedia Commons ("How to reuse Wikimedia Commons content"). If we can call this kind of activity "promotion". AFAIK the images were intended to be used in some WMPL activity reports and in articles about interesting artistic techniques. It would be sad if images for this purpose had to be uploaded into wiki(s) locally. Ankry (talk) 18:14, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Yes, if needed we can provide OTRS ticket, but it looks it's not the case. We will file undelete request anyway soon. Yarl 💭  12:58, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Hans Rosenberg - Instabilities in the solar corona - titelpagina proefschrift, Utrecht, 1973.jpg

Dear P199,

Sorry to come back to this matter, but my question was not answered: a simple typed title page was, as you state "pure text", but was for that reason deleted, being "out of scope"? Clearly, it lacks originality and does not deserve protection of any copyright I think. I asked for the proper license, but did not get an answer. This title page and the accompanying thesis (published scientific articles with connecting texts) is important for the history of solar physics and plasma physics.

• Can you please explain your reason "out of scope" "pure text"?
• What should i do to conserve this important image on Commons?

The author Hans Rosenberg died in 1992. Thank you, the original uploader Hansmuller (talk) 14:16, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

@Hansmuller: As per COM:PS: Excluded educational content includes "Files that contain nothing educational other than raw text." BTW, it is really a stretch to call this titlepage an "important image"... Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 14:28, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

I'm sorry, this picture actually is important for the history of solar physics. I wouldn't suppose you could know about him or his science. Rosenberg was both a scientific and political figure, both in the Partij van de Arbeid (Dutch Labour Party) and the Dutch student movement of the 1960s in the Netherlands. Rosenberg contributed in Europa and the US with his theories for the generation of radio signals on the sun by the magnetic field and plasma of the sun. Furthermore, Rosenberg is of interest for the history of AIDS in The Netherlands, as he was a prominent figure in Utrecht who turned out to have contracted AIDS/HIV. Why isn't it important you think? Please state reasons. It is a title page of a typed Dutch type PhD thesis (this is not a just a British or US PhD, it contained published scientific articles with additional discussions on an international scientific level.) Please discuss this if you cannot believe this, how could you know? The image was used on the wikipedia page w:nl:Hans Rosenberg. He also was Municipal councillor/Alderman for finance in Utrecht and modernised the city on a grand scale.

So please undelete this important image. Thanks. Hansmuller (talk) 17:30, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

@Hansmuller: Everything you are saying above is about the notability of the person himself, not this image. Regardless, it still fails COM:PS. --P 1 9 9  ✉ 18:18, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Dear P199 No, there is a misunderstanding. This picture actually is important for the history of solar physics. (I have studied (astro)physics and obtained a Dutch type PhD, and worked in space science (supported X-ray astronomy satellite BeppoSax).) It is just a title page of an important document, as there are many title pages on Commons. Some of them have artistic value, e.g., File:Title_page_of_'Des_chansons_reduictz_en_tabulature_de_lut_a_deux,_trois_et_quatre_parties'_published_by_Phalesius_in_1547.jpg, and if they are relatively recent, their art work entitles them to copyright protection, right?

• The title page under discussion does not have artistic value, so it does not deserve copyright protection as a work of art, it is plain text.
• If the author were Einstein, you would be convinced? But the argument of scientific interest would be the same.
• Why is there a problem? The image clearly is for its historical and scientific interest within the scope of Wikimedia.
• Do you want an email by a solar physics academic professor? To what address can (s)he send the email?
  Cheers, Hansmuller (talk) 07:12, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

PS I need it for w:nl:Hans_Rosenberg, so it is needed for another Wikimedia project, as specified in COM:PS. Thanks, Hansmuller (talk) 07:18, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

PS2 By the way, all title pages without art work should be deleted ("raw text")? e.g., File:A Dictionary of Hymnology Vol. 1.pdf and hundreds.. more. Book covers with text only (for instance File:1959 Murrays Handbook to India, Pakistan, Burma & Ceylon, 18th Ed. .jpg? Or should the format of the Rosenberg title page be .pdf? Thanks Hansmuller (talk) 09:57, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

None of this address the root issue. That there are other images that should be deleted is not a reason to keep this image (eventually we'll get around to nominate those too). Please bring any further comments to COM:UNDEL if necessary. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 15:02, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Well, don't you think this is an exhaustive way to waste time of productive Wikipedians with trivial blocking techniques? OK then, up to COM:UNDEL as you like. Hansmuller (talk) 19:44, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

@P199 You can review the outcome of this undeletion process here.
* Please do not frustrate users and give your support to the Wikimedia project! (It would save time for you and for me :=) Thank you, Hansmuller (talk) 08:14, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

Deletion request

Good day @P199: ! I'm requesting the deletion of my three userspace pages for the reasons indicated below:

• User:JWilz12345/Philippines roads and highways and User:JWilz12345/Metro_Manila_roads (personal reasons)
• User:JWilz12345/Cities (redundant and superfluous)

Thank you! JWilz12345 (talk) 07:59, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

@JWilz12345:  Done --P 1 9 9  ✉ 15:01, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

Changed my mind now: Good day P199. I've decided to continue my two userspace pages of User:JWilz12345/Philippines roads and highways and User:JWilz12345/Metro Manila roads, since I have a decent internet connection now. May I request for the restoration of both userspace pages? Although I might be occasional in editing these two userspace pages. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Rafaële Germain au SLM 2019.png

Hello,

I saw you kept that picture because she has an article in FR Wiki. I just wanted to let you know that we'll never let the author use that picture on the article, because the quality is way too low. Considering that, the picture has no use on Wikipedia. This is the same for all the picture from Bull-Doser that I nominated. Should I nominate them once more?

--Myloufa (talk) 14:44, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi @Myloufa: I fully support deletion of all garbage images on Commons and I laud your efforts. But in this case, I am leaning toward the "keep" side because I agree with User;Infrogmation, who stated that this is "at present the only free licensed photo we have of notable person." And some of the other images are just about decent enough to use. If the quality was indeed too atrocious, I have deleted the file (e.g. Commons:Deletion requests/File:Élise Guilbault au Chez Roger.jpg). Keep up your good work. Thanks. --P 1 9 9  ✉ 02:12, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Bassel's art

Hello P199! You deleted the photographs that Joi took of Bassel's paintings (which he owns, as they were given to him). The art is not covered by Syrian FOP, since the art was never in a public place in Syria.

Would you mind undeleting? Thanks and regards, --SJ+ 01:49, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi @Sj: Why didn't you comment at the deletion discussion? Anyway, FOP has nothing to do with this, this is not a panorama photo. Key issue here is that just possession of the artworks doesn't confer copyright to the owner, that stays with the artist and heirs. In the previous DN, it was already stated that there is little actual evidence that the images are freely licensed. I don't know why User:Yann undeleted the files. While it is quite possible that Bassel released them under a free license, merely saying it is not enough. Best approach is to go through the COM:OTRS process. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 14:50, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

I was on vacation, only just saw it. Indeed it is not FOP; I mentioned that because it was linked to from the nomination. OTRS: ok; a pity we don't yet have a smoother + more publicly transparent process. --SJ+ 21:35, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Request of recat of two Taal Volcano 2020 eruption images

Changing of license of my pictures

Hello @P199: ! If this is allowed by WikiCommons, can I change the licenses of all my pictures I uploaded here (in Category:Photographs by User:JWilz12345 and Category:Photographs of roads by User:JWilz12345 from Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike to either one of the two "PD" tags (Template:PD-user or Template:Cc-zero). I want to make all my images in public domain as much as possible, but with these two types of "PD" licenses I don't know which one will I choose? Thanks for answer! JWilz12345 (talk) 11:50, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi @JWilz12345: In principle the license is irrevocable. But changing to a PD license is actually reducing the restrictions, so that shouldn't be problem (but you can never again reimpose the restrictions or copyright). I would recommend Template:PD-user because it takes your username (or real name if you want) to explicitly state that you release the images in PD; use it in this way: {{PD-user|JWilz12345}}. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 15:18, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

@P199: Thank you P199 for the answer! I'll change all my pics to PD-user. Thanks againP199! :-) JWilz12345 (talk) 06:12, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Jays04

Good day P199

I have read your request and reasons for the deletion of the photos uploaded yesterday for the SB19 page. I know you mentioned that getting permission from the owner is not enough. Tho I can upload a screenshot of our convo as well. I am new to Wiki so I am unaware that it will still need COM:OTRS ticket.

Anyway, I already communicated again with the photographer. I am waiting for any response. Thanks and God bless!Jays04 (talk) 02:57, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi @Jays04: . A screenshot would not be sufficient either. The photographer needs to release the photos freely. Please read COM:OTRS. And please continue this conversation at the deletion nomination page to centralize the discussion. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 15:38, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Okay. I understand. If that's the case and since the owner hasn't responded to my message yet. Maybe it's best to delete the photos first. Do I do it or Wikipedia? Maybe once the owner has the COM:OTRS tix then we can reupload it. God bless. Jays04 (talk) 03:18, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

Second look at an RFD

Hi,

Can I ask you to take a second look on Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by SirElliotSpootz. @Patrick Rogel: rationales were indeed very bad but I do think that these files should be deteled. It's highly unlikely that the photos were actually taken by this user (who was blocked for one week for repeated copyvio) and the sock-puppet BerrixGote. I couldn't find these images online except for two: File:MichaelGruenin2015.png who has Everipedia has a source but comes from the profile pic of the Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/michaelgruen/ and File:ShaneGregoirein2019.png who also come from Everipedia (this time ot indicated in the source, but is Everipedia acceptable as a source, is the licence there compatible with Commons? plus I suspect the multiple account on Wikimedia and Everipedia is the same person).

Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 09:53, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi @VIGNERON: Thanks for your comments. Still fairly thin evidence but I will delete the files based on this info. But I will no longer deal with "witch-hunt" nominations and (unless it is plain obvious copyvio) just close them as "kept: insufficient reason for deletion". Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 17:25, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. I try to avoid witch-hunt too (although I'm dealing with one right now :/) but for this specific case I thought it deserved a second look. Thank you again. Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 18:06, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

File:The Murder of Michael Brown Jr, P199‬ has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that...

I am new here and not sure how to reply or respond using the online Wiki portal. I certainly object to the deletion of the photos's as they promote peaceful activism in America and a part of black history. The photo's were taken of me and for myself and belong to me. I have exclusive rights to and permission to posting the photo's.

P199‬ left a message on my talk page in "‪File:The Murder of Michael Brown Jr, sparked Activ...‬". requesting the deletion of this File:The Murder of Michael Brown Jr, sparked Activism in Ferguson and across the world.jpg.

Cannot find PD user in Upload wizard, I chose Cc-zero instead

Good day @P199: ! I cannot find PD-user on any of the choices of free licenses on Upload Wizard. So in my five latest pictures (all about Skyway Stage 3), I chose CC-zero instead. Is this ok? And can I change the CC-zero licensing on my five pics to PD-user or not? Thanks for the answer! :-) JWilz12345 (talk) 08:36, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi @JWilz12345: It is not available for Upload Wizard, but if you use main upload form or basic upload form, select "Own work, all rights released (Public domain)". Anyway, nothing wrong with CC-0, but you can change it to PD-user if you want. (BTW, no need to ping me because I already get a notice for any message on my talk page.) Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 15:27, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

P199, does changing from Cc-zero to PD-user cause no issues? I fear of having my files deleted due to changing pf licenses. :-( Thanks for the reply again (in advance) JWilz12345 (talk) 17:47, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

By the way, I have stated in categories of my own photos (Category:Photographs by User:JWilz12345 and Category:Photographs of roads by User:JWilz12345) that I may also contribute photos with CC-zero, as per your suggestion/advice. Besides, all of newer uploads by User:Judgefloro are under CC-zero. If you wish you may watch my files under both categories or watch both of my categories since I'm not used to highly technical aspects of Commons.JWilz12345 (talk) 18:09, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

@JWilz12345: Changing from Cc-zero to PD-user is not a deletion reason. I don't see any issues with that (very similar license anyway).

On a separate note, you state in your category that you don't permit abusive use, vandalism, and discourage modification. But once an image is released as PD, you have no control how it is used, meaning that statement is contradictory to PD/CC-0. --P 1 9 9  ✉ 18:21, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

P199, I'm going remove that statement now. Although I'm now thinking of uploading files under CC-zero (as stated in my categories), since uploading through upload forms you mentioned is prone to errors or sudden network interruption or change in network configuration. I admit UploadWizard does the better job.JWilz12345 (talk) 18:32, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Or, some of my files will be under PD-user (whenever I use the upload forms), or while others will be CC-zero (if I use the Wizard). Anyway, both are PD-type so I hope there will be no issues or problems.JWilz12345 (talk) 23:35, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Please read my comment on your post in my discussion. ** marked are my works, do with others what you want. I'm tired of seeing that something is really as it is and you ignore it, more precisely:

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer. You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.  Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

@Marian Buštík: You cannot use {{PD-old-70}} for images if the author is unknown or the author's date of death is unknown. Note that this license says that "the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer." So how would we know the copyright term if the author's life is unknown???

Commons:Deletion requests/File:MetroLisboa-linha-azul.svg

Hi P199. You deleted this file per this DR discussion, but someone has re-uploaded it (or at least a file with the same name). Can you check File:MetroLisboa-linha-azul.svg and advise what should be done? Some of the other 8 February uploads by the editor also appear to be re-uploads of Commons:Deletion requests/File:MetroLisboa-linha-vermelha.svg and Commons:Deletion requests/File:MetroLisboa-linha-amarela.svg of files you deleted. Finally, File:MetroLisboa-linha-azul-versão-branca.png may be a png version of one of these files uploaded a few years ago by a different account. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:36, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

• Please undo all these deletions. They are used via template in pt.wp are their absence is causing a lot of redlinks and misformatting in tables and diagrams across hundreds of pages. Lets instead replace each file with a free look-alike that works well enough in small sizes, as usually done in such cases. I guarantee that replacement within 12h max., and then the overwritten version can be deleted. (Its too late to undo centrally the damage caused by Commons Delinker, but will do it manually.) -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 19:29, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
  • If the original source image is a copyright violation per COM:L than any differently sized version of the same image is also going to be a copyright violation. Commons doesn't allow fair use, Portuguese Wikipedia does per meta:Non-free content; so, you could upload the file's locally to Portuguese Wikipedia and use them locally on Portuguese Wikipedia. Unless you can show that the copyright holder has released the images under a free license accepted by Commons or are claiming that they are COM:PD for some reason, Commons isn't really going to be able to keep any version of these files. If P199 wants to re-open the DRs for further discussion, that's fine with me; you could also ask for a COM:DRV. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:03, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

• @Marchjuly: Instead of assuming that nobody else knows anything about copyright, please read again what I wrote — you might learn something. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 05:34, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
• To clarify, what I mean by «a free look-alike that works well enough in small sizes» was not, as Marchjuly uncharitably presumed above, a lower resolution version of the same original (which would not make much sense for vectorial images, anyway), but, something like this as a free stand-in for this. At pt:Template talk:MLlogo there’s a few suggestions for suitable replacements. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 05:44, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

I wasn’t trying to imply you didn’t understand copyright, but even if you do create a “free-look-alike” version to replace the ones which have been deleted, I’m not sure why that should stop any copyvios from being deleted. Can’t you just upload your look-alike versions as separate files? It sounds like you want to COM:OVERWRITE an existing file with a different file which isn’t really allowed, but I may wrong. It does seems as if it would be better to upload your versions as separate files, but if P199 wants to restore the deleted files or they get restored via DRV, then that’s fine. In either case the older versions which end up overwritten are still likely going to need to be re-deleted, won’t they? I also think the same file names may even work once the other files have been deleted, but new files under new names could be used in the templates, couldn’t they? Finally, I wasn’t commenting on you as a person or as an editor; just commenting on the files themselves. — Marchjuly (talk) 07:21, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

It appears that now that Commons:Deletion requests/File:MetroLisboa-linha-verde.svg has been resolved, then perhaps there's a way for the other files to be resolved in a similar manner. When I posted this I was only commenting on the file, not you. I saw the PD you were linking to, but the version you uploaded looked the same to me. I apologize if that was because the page didn't refresh for me or because I didn't purge it properly. If things are now sorted out, then that's fine with me. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:37, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

So all the official Lisbon Metro pictographs are forbidden of use because they might be under copyright infringement even if the company itself gave away the files freely (I myself have those files on my computer) and they have been in use here for years?

Overwrite?

Hi P199. Would you mind taking a look at User talk:Guanaco#File:MetroLisboa-linha-amarela.svg. The original file seems fine, but someone in good-faith uploaded a different file (similar but different) that you previously deleted per Commons:Deletion requests/File:MetroLisboa-linha-amarela.svg. So, there's now a copyvio embedded into the file's history. There's also another file File:MetroLisboa-linha-amarela.png which is a png version of the same file deleted per the DR. If you think it's better to due another DR, then that's fine; I'm just not sure how to DR just one particular version of a file. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:12, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi @Marchjuly: I have deleted the official version in the file history, and deleted and redirected the PNG version to the SVG version. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 13:57, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

Actually the User:Pyb uploaded all photos from the Heritage Council in Namibia into one category called Category:National Heritage Council of Namibia. They all do not have Creative commons rights. I put a deletion request into that category, but do not know whether this is the right procedure to get actually all files under that category deleted?

Request for deletion of this nomination page

Good day P199! May I request for the deletion of this nomination page I started: Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Asin_Road_at_Tuba,_Benguet.jpg. The affected file has since been indicated as a copyvio deserving permanent deletion, so I assume this nomination page is no longer applicable.

I need your help

Good day P199!I have seen your post in my talk page regarding this picture File:Illiya basilla.jpg, when I was new in Wikipedia, I dont know how add photos in Wikipedia using wikitext, so I made a mistake by uploading them again, so I upload many pictures that were present in Commons by uploading them again, I was warned that time, and the pictures I upload mistakenly was removed from my upload, and I was warned, so unfortunately, only this image remain, without being removed from my upload and contrubution, so the person removing the pictures mistakenly left this one File:Illiya basilla.jpg so I dont know how to remove it, and today I receive your message in my talk regarding the picture, you can check when the picture was uploaded. I dont know how to remove it and it is not my work. and I was been given last warning with all the pictures I upload unknowingly together with this one. and I dont want to be block in Commons, because I am working right now to Improve hausa wikipedia by providing Images that belong to me. I do hope you will look forward to this. Anasskoko (talk) 15:42, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Request to speedily delete - File:Ayala Avenue - Flickr.jpg

Good day from Bulacan, Philippines, User:P199! Despite undergoing Luzon-wide community quarantine right now, I can still be able to contribute on wiki sites. Now may I request for speedy deletion of File:Ayala Avenue - Flickr.jpg?

Request of deletion of File:True score model v2.png

Hi P199, I would like to ask you about your request for deletion of 5 files:

1. File:True score model v2.png;
2. File:True score model new version.PNG;
3. File:SQP21.jpg;
4. File:Illustration CME.PNG;
5. File:True score model.png

You say: Unused text tables and diagrams, should be in wiki markup if needed. And 1 unused logo, out of scope.

What do you mean with "should be in wiki markup if needed"? Is there a format problem with these files?

Thank you very much. 12:55, 24 March 2020 (UTC). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.46.129.16 (talk • contribs) 08:52, 24 March 2020‎ (UTC)

I mean that if these diagrams are really needed, they should be added as actual text in wikipedia articles, not as images. See w:en:Help:Wikitext. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 13:05, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

@P199, And if we link these diagrams to a category, will the problem be solved? Because a lot of images in Wikimedia haven't been used yet in a Wikipedia article, but they are not deleted, isn't it? Thank you very much again. Regards, 25 March 2020. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.46.129.16 (talk) 13:28, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

No, the issue is not the lack of categories or not being used. It is basically a text image that "should be in wiki markup" if needed in a WP article. Also, the images have no context/description/explanation, thereby limiting its educational value. --P 1 9 9  ✉ 13:42, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Do you want that information in each description? The illustrations I used are taken from Historical text physical description of the persons that I illustrated. The drawings are from my imagination. Those that were from historical text are from public domain photos from 1898 ( more than a century) already. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Audioboss (talk • contribs) 18:58, 30 March 2020 (UTC) --Audioboss (talk) 18:58, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

Yes, that info needs to be in each description. But drawings from your imagination are out of scope. There is no value in making up a likeness for a historical person, in fact, it could be considered as misleading, or worse, as a hoax. As I said at the DR, it would be much better if the original historical images were used at the articles instead of your personal artworks. --P 1 9 9  ✉ 19:22, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

There are no known likeness for some of the subject - "they are artful renditions". They are important in preserving Filipino cultural history as most are records were destroyed during the Filipino-American War. Moreover, most of the historical images were in bad condition. As a Filipino, our culture thrives on visual representation and art. Most of our earlier historical figures have images from illustrations that are ideal representations only of that person. Restoration of those images required artistic license to endeavor. In the context of historical studies, visual representation of historical figures albeit representational or ideal only is very important to the narrative and context of discussions.

I appreciate your point of view. I hope my simple explanation sheds a light why the subject matter is important. I spent countless hours in research and technical time to contribute to our wikicommons and wikipedia

I also have requested permissions commons wikimedia for review and issuance of OTRS

Categories "Photographs of flags of France..."

Hello,

Thanks a lot for your message in the discussion I had about Categories "Photographs of flags of France in canton ...". It seems they have been all deleted (how, I don't know).

But two problems remain :

• as you saw, this user insists on putting the greatest number of pictures in his categories, even with no avalaible reason; shall we go and look then all for eliminate most of them? I cannot afford (yes, a little however..)
• more serious, he creates a lot of categories and subcategories with no logic; see for example Category:Photographs of flags of France in Corsica: he put as subcategories "Photographs ... by arrondissement", plus "... by department", and "... by commune"! -- with obviously the same under-categories and finally a few number of files (non all pertinent)... Delete all these redondant categories in each region of France? I can't.

Because he is now extending his creations to the whole of France.

Is it possible to stop such an obsessional process? I doubt.

Your opinion would interest me. Thanks.

Commons:Deletion_requests/File:French_Canadian_Costume.jpg

I believe File:French Canadian Costume.jpg was taken from said website listed without authorization from those operating the website, and as such is in violation of copyright policy. I'm surprised nobody has stepped in yet to raise this concern (nobody has spoken up at all, except for us). The website in question has right-clicking disabled, and there is a section in which images approved for media use are listed, but that image is located elsewhere on the website.

I would like this taken into consideration as a more sufficient reason for deletion than the previous "not been used in a meaningful manner" reason, by which other files in Wikimedia Commons are readily deleted (i.e. sexually explicit photos trawled from Flickr not being used in an educational capacity). The Nominate for deletion link in the menu to the left produces a dialog box which below the Reason box, asks that I contact the admin (you) who decided "Keep" before renominating it.

Two requests

Good day (afternoon here in the Philippines), P199. I have two requests:

• May I request for the deletion of my short-lived subpage User:JWilz12345/Favorites. I found this feature "boring" and "not helpful" to my contribs here at Commons. I might disable the gadget enabling the favorites feature at my preferences.
• May I request for the checking of the deleted file File:Manuel Roxas Boulevard.JPG. Per Commons:Deletion requests/File:Manuel Roxas Boulevard.JPG it was deleted due to no-FOP. But since I'm not an admin, I cannot be sure of its depiction, if it was really a monument along the boulevard that supported its deletion or if it was just an ordinary street scenery that complies de minimis.

Tool for automatic uploading of high-res versions of existing Flickr files here

Good day P199! Is there a tool of some sort to automatically upload highest resolutions of Flickr files that are currently being hosted here on Commons? I cannot find a "download" button at Flickr (perhaps becuase I don't have a Flickr accnt). Nevertheless I want to have the highest resolution of files like File:Marcos highway tunnel.jpg (orig. Flickr link: https://www.flickr.com/photos/42505444@N08/5124906027) uploaded to here (Commons). I assume there should be no problems because the original files are still in their acceptable licenses. But I don't know if there's a tool for uploading such orig or highest-reso. files. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 10:17, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

@JWilz12345: Hi JWilz12345. Yes, there is a tool for uploading Flickr images: https://flickr2commons.toolforge.org/#/. Alternatively, you can download different resolutions (including original size) even if you don't have a Flickr account. On the webpage, there is a download symbol () on the right side of the screen. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 18:23, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

P199, what I meant is about replacing existing Flickr pictures here with their highest reso variant at Flickr. In my usage of Flickr2Commons it cannot upload higher reso version of such pictures, and instead marks it as available here (even if it is a low resolution counterpart). I was asking if there's a tool for such purpose - uploading highest reso version of Flickr files here like File:Marcos highway tunnel.jpg. And when I went to the Flickr page of the file, I cannot see the download button. It may be that I'm browsing thru my phone (I use en:Samsung A20 whenever I do uploads to Flickr files here). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 05:22, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

OK, I misunderstood. I am not aware of an automated way of replacing an image. And I don't see a download feature either on the mobile version. As far as I know, you need to manually download the highest/original resolution on a laptop and then click "Upload a new version of this file". --P 1 9 9  ✉ 13:52, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Media needing categories to be put into language categories

@Joshbaumgartner and Crouch, Swale: I am working with category:All media needing categories as of 2015. There are many images where file name or file's description is not in English and therefore most of the users are not able to properly categorise these files. So, I think that edits like this: Special:Diff/438727932 are very useful. Agree?--Estopedist1 (talk) 17:09, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Seems like more work for little to no gain. You can still easily do a search with non-English file descriptions. For example your edit above. It took me 10 seconds to find and categorize the image properly (in other words, that was almost the same effort as first categorizing it by language). And there is also Google Translate... --P 1 9 9  ✉ 18:02, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

And I think that moving files to such splinter categories will result in less attention, longer time before anyone works on them. --P 1 9 9  ✉ 18:57, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

I appreciate the effort, but for me when categorizing, 90% of the time I end up relying on the image itself with the title and description (if present) as only additional information to the process. I am concerned that segregating by title language may dissuade a non-Spanish speaker for example from working on an image in the Spanish category when in reality, most of the time, user language vs. title language is not an impediment to adding meaningful categories. I don't have a strict opposition to sub-categorization of maintenance cats, but we should avoid having to spend so much time sorting within maintenance cats that we never get around to adding real categories to files...it is a fine balance I suppose.

Question regarding certain Flickr pictures hosted here

Good evening again (from here in the PHL)! I have one daunting question. Certain Flickr-based files here are of inferior quality than their original counterparts, like:

• File:Guangzhou skyline.jpg — https://www.flickr.com/photos/johnas/9710560617/in/photostream/
• File:Manila by night.jpg — https://www.flickr.com/photos/84143999@N00/226068539/

I would want to d-'load their original, highest quality resolutions, but their licenses on Flickr today have changed (to an unfree license that's non-compatible here). Can I still download their original resolution images and upload here or I might need to conduct a longer process (might be Commons:Flickr files/Appeal for license change)? Sadly, I don't have a Yahoo account. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 14:23, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Good question. IMO, I don't think you can. As far as I understand, the free license is specific to a specific version. For copyright questions, it is best to ask at COM:VP/C. --P 1 9 9  ✉ 14:28, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

I had been director of the play 'Faust' which was performed in Kolkata in November 2019 and that's where photograph was taken by me from my phone.It may have been used in different media or People's Theatre Group's website of social media, but it belongs to me.

The Seventh Moon cover was deleted? Why?

Hello, greetings from Philippines!

I'm wondering why the official cover of the book I am writing an article about was deleted by you. It says that the reason for deletion is Copyright violation, but I placed the name of the copyright holder and followed the rules religiously. I am currently searching for other novels in the Wikipedia, but their covers are there. May I ask what's the main problem or if there is anything I can do to get it back there?

My article is not yet approved by Wikipedia.

Commons does not allow copyrighted images, even if you mention the name of the copyright holder (unless they release it under a compatible license, which must be proven via COM:OTRS). Read COM:L. --P 1 9 9  ✉ 15:57, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

About Entrance to University of the Philippines Diliman.jpg

Good day P199. Is the deleted file File:Entrance to University of the Philippines Diliman.jpg depicting the copyrighted Oblation statue substantially or only depicts it incidentally (COM:DM)? Should it depicts the statue incidentally and depicts more of the Quezon Hall which dates to 1950, I'm planning to request undeletion of this with the now-updated Commons:FOP Philippines. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 03:50, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Not DM. It actually shows the statue from behind along with University Avenue. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 15:59, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. How about File:University of the Philippines, Diliman.jpg, which I don't know if it applies to the Quezon Hall (which is now allowed here per the updated Commons:FOP Philippines since the building is from 1950) or to the potentially copyrighted Oblation statue. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 13:08, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

File:University of the Philippines, Diliman.jpg is a duplicate of File:Entrance to University of the Philippines Diliman.jpg. And File:UPmanila333jf.JPG is definitely focused on the statue (but has the building in the background). Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 17:35, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Turn a version of an image into a separate file

Hello. Is there an easy way to upload a version of an image as a new, separate file, instead of doing it manually?

Your deletions

It is very upsetting to see the number of deletions you did on my contributions.

For 4 years I spent many hours a day contributing to Wikipedia. As you know, there is no monetary retribution.

I see you deleted 3 photos of the Grand Trunk Station I grew up in in Maine as well as a photo I took in Lewsiton, Maine. How can you do this?

I see you deleted a photo I took in Qinzhou, China where I married my wife Yi Zeng. How can you do this?

The photo fo Tian'anmen where we went for our trip.

The photos of Le Pélican which I took photos during the contruction of the boat.

The Val-Cariter military base which is just 20 minutes away

My photo of La Tuque, Quebec during a work trip.

My photo of la Maison Montcalm where I presently live.

My photo of Fort Chambly which I visited on several occasions.

All this is very upsetting. I don't know how much money you get to do this, but you could have taken the photos one by one and ask me.

Because one was wrong, you assumed all the others were.

This is why you will find fewer and fewer people working on behalf of wikipeida and more with other sites such as facebook where it is much more rewarding.

You did this in May when I was strickened by the virus but managed to survived.

Like is short on earth, you should not go out of your way to hurt others.

Wrongly deleted scans of old books

Hi! Most files you deleted in User:Gun Powder Ma's DRs are evidently scans of old books.

Roy17, I find it worrisome that you are still going around with your theory that adequate sourcing by the uploader is somehow not required. It is. Please familiarize yourself with the long-standing rules. Shouldn't admins know and act upon these? Note that you will be held accountable for every copyvio that you keep by adding a source you are only guessing.

The real scandal is that someone like Qiushufang could upload hundreds of copyright violations and have them for years here up and widely linked to the English wiki. Furthermore, the copyvios of his previous username Yprpyqp are still around, although I have pointed to them half a year ago. Qiushufang/Yprpyqp's copyvio spree has been one of the largest undetected copyright violations on Commons for years. Gun Powder Ma (talk) 21:32, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

de minimis

Hi, I am wondering about Commons:Deletion requests/File:National Portrait Gallery visitors view First Lady Michelle Obama.jpg. I am trying to understand the legal rationale behind this (not the Commons policy rationale). Can you explain why this is de minimis from a copyright law perspective? --Gnom (talk) 13:58, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

@Gnom: Obviously my decision is not legal, and you have to remember that DM is subjective (there is no law that define the limits of this). But simply put: copyright is protecting who and how a work may be used. In this case, it would be impossible to use (reproduce) the portrait in that image due to its extreme distortion and low quality. That would be the same if this image was taken straight from the front and the portrait was blurred out. --P 1 9 9  ✉ 03:25, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your quick response. My understanding is that the de minimis exception is defined by law and that its application is of course objective (in Germany, for example, de minimis is regulated by sec. 57 of the German Copyright Act and there are countless court decisions that interpret this law). What I am trying to understand is the legal background of the application of de minimis on Commons under U.S. copyright law. I have a feeling that points such as "extreme distortion and low quality" are irrelevant (because they would be under German law). --Gnom (talk) 21:56, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello po @Gnom and P199: . Just chimed in, seeing this very interesting discussion. It appears that if de minimis concept is indeed objective, then IMO it may not apply in the Philippine DW/FOP-related cases. I admit I am no lawyer, though I have always referred to Republic Act No. 8293 or IP Code of the Philippines in many FOP or DW-related requests. I cannot find something DM-like. But the matter whether DM applies to the Philippine cases may no longer need debate, if a potential dialogue between IPOPHL and Wikimedia happens. (IPOPHL, in their reply to an email sent by Higad Rail Fan last November 2020, said they are open for such dialogue, though I don't know if Wikimedia is aware on this, considering that IPOPHL expects a WMF-initiated dialogue on FOP). BTW, the de minimis seems "invalid" for SoKor cases: see Commons:Deletion requests/Files of the exterior of the N Seoul Tower in Category:N Seoul Tower. Even some images that may pass DM were also deleted. I don't know the nature of the existing court case there which is outlined by Explicit at Commons talk:Copyright rules by territory/South Korea#Add example of FOP?. A building used as a background for a TV commercial (which some may claim de minimis), but was ruled as infringement to the architect of the building by the Seoul Central District Court. I supported Explicit's proposal to add that example on the CRT page of SoKor. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 16:35, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi P199, my intent is to understand if and how our de minimis policy here on Commons is in line with U.S. copyright law. (I am a lawyer myself and hold a Ph.D. in German copyright law.) If not here, where do you think is a good place to discuss this? --Gnom (talk) 18:05, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

IMO it is actually ridiculous that mere users need to establish the legal policies to which Commons must adhere. One would expect the Wikimedia lawyers to take care of this. I guess that would be my starting point... --P 1 9 9  ✉ 18:44, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

• The BBC article mentioned in the deletion request does indeed display that image, but at a resolution of 976 x 549, a filesize of 118.5kB. See here
• According to link, the image that was uploaded to wikimedia was at a resolution of 1254x1600, with a filesize of 267KB

It is therefore extremely unlikely in my opinion that the uploader, @Quantum Priest: , simply copied the file from the BBC article, as asserted by @Gråbergs Gråa Sång: in the deletion discussion.

There was no notification on the talk page of the only article that uses this file, or else I would have made these observations during the deletion discussion instead of here.

Thanks in anticipation, Hallucegenia (talk) 17:44, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Hallucegenia: Thanks for your comments. Unfortunately this doesn't change the outcome. Besides the fact that previously published images need an OTRS ticket, the BBC clearly credits a different organization. That alone requires a confirmation with OTRS. See COM:OTRS. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 20:19, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Good grief. That image was used three months before the BBC story that @Gråbergs Gråa Sång: quoted: by NASA on 12 September and by Deven on 11 September, both times crediting Dr Nakalembe. The BBC caption just says who they got the image from. Who do you think took the photo? What more information would an OTRS ticket give you? You already have a user who asserts that he is the lady's husband and that he took the photo. Whatever happened to COM:GOOD FAITH? No wonder clever black women have to work so much harder to get their achievements recognised. Hallucegenia (talk) 21:51, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

That guideline says "When dealing with possible copyright violations, good faith means assuming that editors intend to comply with site policy and the law. That is different from assuming they have actually complied with either." I see no reason to believe P199 treated this pic differently because there is a clever black woman in it. Sadly the user who asserts didn't use a previously unpublished image, that would have simplified things (from "our" end). Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:48, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

P199, another question, about "There was no notification on the talk page" (on WP). That's correct, TBH I've never considered that when nominating something on Commons for deletion. Is there some guidance on this, bots seems to do it sometimes [2]? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:52, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

@Gråbergs Gråa Sång: as far as I know, notification on WP is a fairly recent process, and only as a courtesy. It is done by a bot. The process description only says to notify the uploader on their talk page, nothing about notifying WP where the image is used (which would be most impractical considering all the different languages and uses).

Hi,

Could The picture for the township "lochaber-partie-Ouest" be updated?

It is my house and it is finished. I would love to see a prettier picture for our township.

I could take a new one for you of the same angle

Please participate in the Universal Code of Conduct consultation on Wikimedia Commons!

Dear P199

Thank you for your hard work to create the sum of all knowledge that is freely sharable to every single human being across the world. As our diverse community grows, we need a guideline that will help all of our work collectively and constructively where everyone feels safe, welcomed, and part of a team. That is why the Wikimedia movement is working on establishing a global guideline called the Universal Code of Conduct, often referred to as UCoC.

After the months-long policy consultation, we have prepared a policy (available in many languages) that has been ratified by the Board of Trustees. We’re currently in the second phase of the process. During this round of consultation, we want to discuss the implementation of this policy. As a member of the functionary team of Wikimedia Commons, your opinion on enforcement is of great value. We want to hear from you on how this policy can be enforced on the Wikimedia Commons community and what might be needed to do so. There are a few enforcement questions so you can easily outline your answers based on them. Please do not hesitate to bring any more questions/challenges you think are not yet discussed.

The discussion is taking place on Commons:Universal Code of Conduct consultation. You can also share your thoughts by replying to this message (Please ping me so I get notified), posting your message on my talk page. I am aware that some thoughts cannot be expressed publicly, so you can always share your opinion by emailing me as well.

As a valued member of the Commons community, please share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences that relate to UCoC. Let us know what needs to be improved so we can build a more friendly and cooperative space to increase editor engagement and retention of new users.

Wikimedia projects are governed by you. So, it is you who needs to step up to ensure a safe, comfortable, and pleasant working environment.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Please take a short survey regarding UCoC

Hello P199,

I would like to inform you that we now have a survey in place to take part in the UCoC consultation. It is not a long one and should take less than 10 minutes to complete. You can take the survey even if you have already participated in the on-wiki consultation. It has a different set of questions and allows you to participate anonymously and privately.

As a member of the Commons functionaries, your opinion is especially essential. Please click here to participate in the survey.

You are still welcome to participate in the on-wiki discussions. If you prefer you can have your say by sending me an email. You can also drop me an email if you want to have a one-to-one chat.

• On 2015, User:Judgefloro repeatedly asked me to find another editor who could be trusted to upload my photos, since I am already 67 years old now and I am not knowledgeable about Commons Information Techical Matters; I failed to find one until he recommended to me his own close friend and close relative my in-law far relative in Bulacan to help me share my photos to Wikimedia Commons; hence, I was helped by

Tertiary highways

Without spending a looong time going through all your images, I was wondering if you've happened to snap/upload any images of one of the handful of tertiary highways in Ontario... perhaps a trip to Burchell Lake/Kashabowie, or possibly on your trip to Central Patricia... maybe even the road to the Manitou Falls dam near Ear Falls? - Floydian (talk) 04:46, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Floydian. Thanks for your interest in my photos, and kudos for your work on Ontario highways. Sorry, I have no images of Highway 802 or 804.

Hi admin

You just closed Commons:Deletion requests/File:Othman Al-Kamees.png. Can you also please close, the DR of File:Hani Al-Mulki 2016.jpg, from the same uploader? But please have a look at this internet page before closing it. Thanks in advance and best wishes. --E4024 (talk) 01:57, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi @E4024: thanks for bringing this user to my attention. But I couldn't establish copyvio on File:Hani Al-Mulki 2016.jpg (I didn't see this exact image on the page or video -- and not found using Google Images). But looking at all uploads of this user together, it looks indeed suspicious. All portrait photos they uploaded are all inconsistent in quality and size, low-res, cropped, etc. They would need to be nominated as a batch, so that reviewers can consider that. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 02:19, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

I see. Regrettably I do not know how to make a mass DR (I tried but could not understand when colleagues told me how to). If I am not abusing your generosity, can you give a minute of your time and work to Commons:Deletion requests/File:Ibrahim Gokcek.jpg and close it? As you may see at this example (also) the concerned file has been published in the net in several occasions before being uploaded here by an occasional visitor. All the best. E4024 (talk) 02:27, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

• Hi again. Sometimes a simple DR takes time to close, only because the file is in use, a very understandable situation for a file that is, say, f/ex the only one that depicts a notable person. However, I observe that even DRs about "junk" files which are in use but have several similars to replace that use, as in this case (where there are "more than several" similar images in the relevant cat). Not an important issue, but I noticed some admins visit the DR area only to close "keep" cases or very clear copyvios or F10/G7 cases; this way of course we will always have a backlog there. Best wishes. E4024 (talk) 21:56, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Carte Neandertaliens.jpg

Please add the link to the source map so copyright can be validated. I strongly disagree with the closing statement "simple base map is clearly PD-map". Maps of the world or maps of countries are not all public domain, that goes against COM:PRP and the complete lack of any evidence fails COM:L. For any image to comply with the template PD-map, "entirely of information that is common property and contains no original authorship" needs to be verifiable, not vaguely presumed by an uploader.

In the meantime, until you add a verifiable source, I have correctly marked the image as a derived work missing the source in compliance with copyright policies. Please do not remove that template, unless you wish to either reopen the DR, or add the correct source. --Fæ (talk) 17:29, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

I knew this would solicit a reaction from you... First I appreciate your efforts to support and maintain Commons, clearly you care about it as much as I do. It should be said that neither you or me are copyright experts (it is baffling that these issues are not addressed by the lawyers of WMF...), so both our statements are merely opinions and interpretations. I feel very strongly that a simple outline map does not contain any copyright, as pure geodata is not copyrightable (simple outline maps were free of DW until you single-handedly removed it from COM:DW based on 1 case study; much of that info is actually still valid). This fact is verifiable already and doesn't need to be continuously proven free (just like we wouldn't do for simple shapes). I could add any free source, and it would be hard to dispute it, because a simple map of Europe is going to look the same irrespective of what source is used. Incidentally, adding the DW template is also not the right process, because they went though a DR already. --P 1 9 9  ✉ 18:22, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

The reasoning and the DR closure is flawed as it relies on PD-map. Unless there is evidence that the map is "common property" please re-open the DR. Drawing of borders of countries, and in particular asserted publications of political boundaries, or maps with contours or reliefs are invariably copyright by the publisher. This map even has special colourings for what might be sandbanks, or maybe artistic impressions of sandbanks that seem unrelated to any public domain map I am aware of.

By the way, discussing this with my tame ancient historian, they believe that any map of detailed find spots like this is likely to be copyrighted. There's plenty of "arbitrariness" on exactly where to place the find spots, or which finds to select as important. This was not 100% invented by the uploader one day, it is certain to have been copied from a copyrighted sourcebook.

Just to clarify, I'm happy to be disagreed with, but verification still needs to be there, or policy clarified. If we are going to accept any map claimed to be user-created without asking for verification, then let's spell out how that "good faith" exception works and create a template for it. --Fæ (talk) 10:57, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Date for File:Seagull Shower (4213705016).jpg

I think the edit you made to the date in this file is incorrect. That flickr user has uploaded numerous scans of older photographs, and usually provides a date for the photo (typically month and year). In this case, the tags associated with the photo include '1994' (see source pic), and I'm inclined to believe that May 1994 is the correct date (but not 1 May 1994). I think the date you used is the scan date. Mindmatrix 12:51, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

"Pink Marilyn" is not a derivate work. Many years ago, I created it as a black pencil drawing completely ON MY OWN HANDS. Later, the pencil drawing was converted in a computer art work.

"Jim Morrison, Hommage on Andy Warhol" is also a computer art work of my own hands (in the style of Andy Warhol). The picture body is a well known portrait of Jim Morrison. Artists are allowed to create OWN art works using a photo or a painting. This is in no way a violation of Copyrights because such art works are individual and new ones, not a copy of the original.

With best regards, Monika Hoerath --Monika Hoerath (talk) 15:44, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

@Monika Hoerath: You sure have lots of talent. But I don't think you were sitting in front of Marilyn or Jim when you were drawing it; you must have used an existing photo or artwork as guide. That is COM:DW. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 15:59, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Dear P199,

thank you for your kind reply.

§ 24 Urheberrechtsgesetz says the followingː

§ 24 Freie Benutzung

(1) Ein selbständiges Werk, das in freier Benutzung des Werkes eines anderen geschaffen worden ist, darf ohne Zustimmung des Urhebers des benutzten Werkes veröffentlicht und verwertet werden.

(2) Absatz 1 gilt nicht für die Benutzung eines Werkes der Musik, durch welche eine Melodie erkennbar dem Werk entnommen und einem neuen Werk zugrunde gelegt wird.

It doesn't matter whether an artist were sitting in front of an individual while painting she or him. This would be only a rare option if the one is still alive and the artist got such an order.

My both artworks are so far away from any other work (photo or painting) that they are completely a so called "selbständiges Werk" (independent work). This means that the basis is not recognizable.

If you wish to delete my both works, despite this legal situation, I don't want to prevent you from doing so. But there is no reason for that.

@Monika Hoerath: I have another concern here. The images, along with some of your other uploads, are merely uploaded to showcase your talent. This is not the purpose of Wikipedia or Commons, and they fall therefore outside the scope of Commons. Sorry. --P 1 9 9  ✉ 18:23, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
