  •  Comment I may be wrong, but I think the only real issue is COM:TOO Turkey. I'd presume that this logo is original enough to be copyrightable in Turkey, but someone else might know whether that's true or not. If it is, correct me if I'm wrong, but 1969 would be way too recent for the logo to be out of copyright. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:43, 8 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Main problem that its source is extremely dubious (online forum). I was able to source the logo to an actual historical image, however the picture seems to not be related to the party in question. Hellbat31 (talk) 00:16, 14 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Deleted: per nomination. Athough the use of three crescents is seen often on flags, per Category:Flags with three crescents, I think this particular arrangement is above TOO. The image has to be deleted as a consequense. --Ellywa (talk) 22:39, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Deleted: per nomination, deleted all. The food with labels is imho not de minimis, the purpose of the photo is to show these labels. The 2GIS watermark leads to the suspicion that the photo was made by another person then uploader, so probably copyrighted as well. --Ellywa (talk) 22:44, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • @Sturmvogel 66: The book says exactly this: "Samsun during manoeuvres in the Sea of Marmara in the 1920s. Guleryuz" Page 110. The image is from 1920s so it's post-Ottoman era, but pre-Turkish copyright law. This image should be from Historical Branch of the Turkish General Staff, and since it's a state publication from over 70 years ago it should be public domain. I don't have any additional info. --Khutuck (talk) 16:40, 26 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    • The Turkish Republic was proclaimed 100 years ago so odds are that the image was taken after that because the ship was laid up until 1924. Judging by the Turkish copyright tag, everything seems to depend on publication and we don't know if the image was published anywhere before Güleryüz and Langensiepen published it in their book in 1995. Furthermore I don't know what the copyright status is for Turkish government photos, published or unpublished. If the photo was even taken by an official photographer because it's not attributed to the Turkish Navy in the book like some of the other photos. I can easily see the photo being taken by an officer for his own use.
    • And what about the status in the US because it needs a US PD tag? Without confirming publication before 1928, it doesn't fall under the usual US PD tag. And the URAA tag depends on if it was out of copyright before 1996 in Turkey.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:53, 26 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
      • @Sturmvogel 66: This image is very likely in public domain as Turkish government photos have 70 years of copyright after publishing, but I don't have a way to prove that. Since we can't build Wiki based on my feelings, I'm OK with the deletion. I'll look for an image from Ottoman period, all images I currently have are post-1923. --Khutuck (talk) 01:25, 28 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Keep Fixed errors, "PD-EU-no author disclosure". Tineye has not found an attribution for a creator. --RAN (talk) 18:08, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    RAN argued here above for keeping this file of a drawing or painting or so with reference to the "PD-EU-no author disclosure" template. Here he changed the {{cc-by-sa-4.0}} template into the {{PD-EU-no author disclosure}}. According to COM:EVIDENCE, which is is considered to be an official policy on Wikimedia Commons, (background color for highlighting added):
In all cases, the burden of proof lies on
the uploader or other person arguing for the file to be retained
to demonstrate that as far as can reasonably be determined:

• the file is in the public domain or is properly licensed, and
• that any required consent has been obtained.
The PD-EU-no author disclosure can only be used if the image was published before 1953 and at that time it was anonymously published. The burden of proof for that template lies on the person who added that template while arguing for the file to be retained.
Take the discussion here were RAN wrote "A 1939 image is PD-EU, Tineye could not find anyone making an active copyright claim." So he starts with a false claim. RAN seems to be convinced that every drawing, photo, painting, sketch or so that was made in the 1930's or 1940's in a country that is now part of EU were published before 1953 unless it shows up in TinEye. And not only that, all of these images that don't show up in TinEye were anonymously published before 1953. If I look through some of our old family albums of that time, I'm pretty sure (almost) none of them were published before 1953 and also (almost) none of them would show up in TinEye. For an image that looks to be older than 70 years, not showing up in TinEye doesn't automatically mean published before 1953! RAN, based on what source do you claim this pre 1953 publication? - Robotje (talk) 10:31, 10 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Enghlab Iran.jpg[edit]

This photograph was taken by w:Abbas (photographer) in 1979 in Iran, and is now in possession of The British Museum (after purchase from Magnum Photos in 2010). [2] I found no proof that it was published in Iran, in that case it can be in PD. But if it was not published in Iran (for example, it remained on an archive) then Iranian law is unliekly to be applicable. HeminKurdistan (talk) 12:14, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This file was initially tagged by Túrelio as Copyvio (copyvio) and the most recent rationale was: "This photo is copyright protected and may not be used in any way without permission.". Photograph was taken in the United States in 1947. If published contemporaneously, it would need to have its copyright registered and renewed for it to be subject to copyright protection today.

The author cannot be the en:San Diego Air & Space Museum because they did not open until 1963, 16 years after the crash. I searched the 1973 and 1974 catalogs for the terms "United Airlines", "United Air Lines", "DC-4", "NC30046", and "Douglas", with only the last one getting any hits (including other aircraft manufactured by Douglas), so even if a copyright notice had appeared when it was first published, it certainly wasn't renewed. holly {chat} 01:16, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

the source has listed the photographer and exact date the photo was taken, and where the photo is held.

File:Blason famille Advisart.svg[edit]

AFAICT this is an exact duplicate of File:Blason-gueules-chevron-argent.svg (as is File:Dampierre.svg). I have been advised that in such cases, the preferred solution is to either delete the duplicate file (and just note all the different things "gules a chevron argent" can be the arms of in its description), or if someone would like this image to be kept at this title, then please upload a new version that distinguishes itself through some arbitrary difference like making the chevron a few pixels wider or the red slightly darker (as at File:Blason Fr famille Broussain (Hasparren).svg, File:Blason Fr famille Burguzahar (Basse-Navarre).svg, or File:Blason famille de Poligny (Franche-Comté).svg) so that they are no longer exact duplicates. -sche (talk) 20:26, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Keep Advisart and Dampierre are different families that have similar coats of arms, thus these are different files that are in use and must be kept, as well as Blason-gueules-chevron-argent.svg.--Kontributor 2K (talk) 20:35, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Are their arms "similar", or are they both defined identically as "gules a chevron argent"? Omphalographer (talk) 20:59, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hi @Omphalographer. They are both defined as "gules a chevron argent".--Kontributor 2K (talk) 21:12, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Then all of these images should  Redirect to a single image, ideally with a generic title, containing a "gules a chevron argent". The arms of these families are "gules a chevron argent", not a specific graphical rendition of those arms. The arms of the Poligny family do not have a broader chevron than the Burguzahars, for instance; the images on Commons do, but both images are equally representative of both families, just as a single-story and a double-story lowercase "a" both represent the same letter.
A similar solution should be implemented for other arms with simple blazons which are claimed by multiple families. Omphalographer (talk) 21:40, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Actually it would be fine if all of these images would  Redirect to the generic-titled Blason-gueules-chevron-argent.svg. The problem would be if Adivsart.svg would redirect to Dampierre.svg
I fix old CoA images but I don't creat new ones if a generic file exists. Once I have created the Blason-gueules-chevron-argent.svg, I use it for other families that use "gules a chevron argent"

In the absence of much other input, I'm going to ping @C.Suthorn and Jmabel: this is the kind of thing I was talking about at the village pump: the files are duplicates, but at least one user wants to keep them (see Commons:Deletion requests/File:Dampierre.svg). BTW, I have just noticed that File:Blason Fr famille Broussain (Hasparren).svg vs File:Blason Fr famille Burguzahar (Basse-Navarre).svg only appear to have slightly different shades of red in their thumbnails, but when I click through to the files themselves (Hasparren vs Basse-Navarre) they are identical to each other. Does that mean they are, or are not, duplicates? -sche (talk) 17:54, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
A redirect of Advisart.svg, which is a coat of arms that will never change and that is not in use anymore on wp, to the generic File:Blason-gueules-chevron-argent.svg would be relevant. --Kontributor 2K (talk) 18:11, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Otherwise, mixing the other two files together, which are certainly identical, is not a good idea in my opinion.
In other words, if the the first (Blason Fr famille Broussain (Hasparren).svg) is redirected to the second (Blason Fr famille Burguzahar (Basse-Navarre).svg), even if it won't change anything visually of course, there's a risk of creating inconsistencies in terms of SEO (not a so big deal, as the files are used on the same page, but this may be more of a concern for unrelated files). These are not huge files, their presence has little impact on the servers, and the primary task is rather to classfy all these. --Kontributor 2K (talk) 19:35, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

All personal photos. Common instance of a spammer spamming on more obscure Wikimedia projects with few contributors and little to no moderation which also allows them to take advantage of COM:INUSE. The header of COM:EDUSE states that "[files] must be realistically useful for an educational purpose". These images fall under the first and fourth bullet points of COM:SPAM; therefore, COM:INUSE does not apply in this situation. None of these images have any educational value and this user does not, on any of their sockpuppets, seem to have any number of constructive contributions on any project, making them a non-contributor. Uhai (talk) 05:12, 12 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'll look forward to hopefully reading the reasoning of the closing admin for keeping or deleting the files that are in use. I see you left out the sentences starting three sentences after the header of COM:EDUSE: "A media file that is in use on one of the other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation is considered automatically to be useful for an educational purpose, as is a file in use for some operational reason such as within a template or the like. Such a file is not liable to deletion simply because it may be of poor quality: if it is in use, that is enough." So no, EDUSE cannot be a countervailing guideline. I don't see how COM:SPAM can override COM:INUSE, either. Note what's not mentioned here: "Private image collections, e.g. private party photos, photos of yourself and your friends, your collection of holiday snaps and so on. There are plenty of other projects on the Internet you can use for such a purpose, such as Flickr. Such private image collections do not become educational even if displayed as a gallery on a user page on Commons or elsewhere." Right, not if they're displayed as a gallery. Nothing is mentioned about their being used in articles on Wikimedia sites, because that would make them automatically useful per COM:INUSE.
I don't think it's the job of Commons to remove spam that's in use on other projects. We have more than enough to do as it is. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:01, 12 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The spam is on other projects but the images themselves are on Commons. Removal of images such as these is an application of common sense. COM:INUSE was not meant to apply to situations such as this and, like I said, is heavily abused regardless by spammers such as this individual. I don't see how this Instagram-filtered, low-quality selfie, beyond all policy citing and wikilawyering, has any argument for educational value when the stated goal of Commons is to host educational media:
File:Ahmad jans bin muhammad sobri assegaf.jpg
I don't understand why Commons users are so often averse to removing unequivocal garbage, especially considering how easily the user can re-upload the images (and probably will anyway, if the reviewing admin chooses to delete).
Regardless, if there's an argument to be made for how any of these files have educational value and cause to be retained, beyond "well COM:INUSE says we should keep it!!!", I'm all ears. That's what deletion discussions should really be about. See COM:SNOW. Uhai (talk) 06:27, 12 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
There are other solutions to deal with spammers, such as blocks and userbans, and it's not up to Commons users to decide what should be used on other projects. If you want to appeal to SNOW, my response is that I don't want to spend time making decisions for other projects or encouraging people to use Commons in lieu of removing images from their projects. Get cross-wiki spammers banned across all projects, and maybe you can appeal to stewards to remove all the images from other projects. Once they're no longer in use, come back here and request deletion, or maybe there'd be a basis for speedy deletion tags at that point. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:33, 12 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • This is literally a text logo, and with 152,346 likes for Xtra Foods on Facebook, I think it's in scope, though it would probably get deleted as out of scope for not having a Wikipedia article or just not being used.

So the image should be deleted as COPYVIO unless someone can provide evidence to the contrary.

File:Coat of arms of Sforza family.svg[edit]

This coat of arms doesn't represent the original coat of arms of the sforza family, the original coat of arms isː Azure with a lion rampant or holding a quince; the eagle is an augmentation awarded by the holy roman emperor to the Visconti family, from whom the Sforzas took the arms upon ascending to the throne of the duchy of milan MostEpic (talk) 15:54, 12 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Imperial Eagle/Reichsadler quartering the Visconti Biscione
Thanks a lot for that clarification, I was trying to get to the bottom of File:Arms of the House of Sforza.svg by User:Heralder which showed these quarterings but gave no explanation. Is that file name accurate? So the Eagle quartering the Visconti Biscione is the Imperial Eagle/Reichsadler, an augmentation awarded by the Holy Roman Emperor to the Visconti family (do you know any more details as to date, etc?), and the Sforzas continued to use these arms upon ascending to the throne of the Duchy of Milan. So in fact these are the augmented arms of Visconti being used by Sforza. They are not Sforza arms at all. Is that correct? I hope the position is now shown clearly at Category:Coats of arms of the House of Sforza. Instead of deleting the image, which I fully accept is wrongly described/named (thanks for having raised this issue) how about just changing the incorrect filename to "Reichsadler". That might be simpler. Always useful to have images of that in various forms.Lobsterthermidor (talk) 18:44, 12 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Files in Category:Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper[edit]

I thought about posting this on COM:VPC rather than to create a DR but I hope the discussion is better when making a DR. Maybe I'm completely an idiot here and the files are OBVIOUSLY covered by FOP Spain here but what the hell, #BeBold. And for the record I'm not saying that these files are copyright violations, I'm asking if they are, but in a DR since I hope that brings to a better discussion than at COM:VPC. Anyway, here goes:

COM:FOP Spain says that works permanently located in parks or on streets, squares or other public thoroughfares may be freely reproduced, distributed and communicated by painting, drawing, photography and audiovisual processes.

To interpret this, one must know how Spanish courts define permanently located since this is not a completely unambiguous phrasing. Commons:FOP#Permanent vs temporary says that whether a work is installed at a public place permanently or not is not a question of absolute time, but a question of what the intention was when the work was placed there. If it was put there with the intention of leaving it in the public place indefinitely or at least for the whole natural lifetime of the work, then it is "permanent". […] Street paintings, ice, sand, or snow sculptures rarely last more than a few days or weeks. If they're left in public space for their natural lifetime, they are considered "permanent" all the same.

What makes this case unlike the standard FOP case I guess is that the copyright ownership belongs to the club, not the artist of this wall painting. What effect does that have on the FOP/copyright question? Also in this case, the design already exists, before the wall painting ever existed, and it will continue to exist after the wall painting has been removed or the building torn down. What effect do those two facts have on the ”If they're left in public space for their natural lifetime, they are considered "permanent" all the same.” question. Also can there really be a general #Permanent vs temporary page when so many different countries have different law books? Do all courts agree with each other across the borders on this matter?

Lastly, it should be said that some of these might be covered by COM:De minimis eventhough they might be considered copyvios and hence be kept regardless. For example File:009 Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, Futbol Club Barcelona (Sant Joan Despí).jpg seems as a more obvious de minimis case so decided not to nominate that file.

This logo of FC Barcelona appears on the facilities of the sportive city of the club and you see it walking on the street. If you take a picture of these buildings, the logo fatally appears. Besides, this is the modern interpretation of a logo created in 1910's. --Enric (talk) 10:49, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

A logo created in the 1910's can still be copyrighted so we need COM:EVID of the logo being in the public domain in that case. Jonteemil (talk) 10:58, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Keep for me. Not sure what the copyright ownership has to do with FoP, unless you are suggesting it was painted there without permission from the copyright owner. You don't have the right to use the logo elsewhere, but photos depicting it in its public setting should be fine. A crop which removes its public context may be problematic, especially for a 2-D work as it may be more of a copy than a depiction of it. The fact other copies may exist before or later is irrelevant (there are no FoP rights over other copies, unless they are also permanently placed in public). If someone makes 20 castings of a statue, but only one is put up in public, photos of that statue are still fine. The "natural lifetime" part of FoP is not relevant here (since many other copies can exist); just the fact that this copy was placed in public without a scheduled time to be removed ("leaving it in the public place indefinitely"). Even if there was just architectural or three-dimensional FoP, it would only be photos focusing on the logo, or intentionally including it for effect, which would be an issue and I only see a couple of those in there. All other photos would be incidental, I would think (a different concept from "de minimis" but still mentioned on that policy page). As for differing laws in different countries, there are precious few cases on this type of thing anywhere, so often we really don't know -- those courts may well look to cases in other countries for guidance, though they could disagree and rule differently. If we ever get contrary rulings, then we would update the page. So yes, there are always theoretical doubts that a court could rule differently than we have seen before, but until one actually does we tend to go with the best guidance we can, even if the logic is from a different country. Carl Lindberg (talk) 14:46, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
You don't have the right to use the logo elsewhere, in that case, wouldn't it be in violation of COM:Licensing? Jonteemil (talk) 19:37, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
No. You have the right to use the photo which shows the logo in its public context, since that is the only content which is licensed. If you crop to a de minimis item for example, it is no longer de minimis. Or use of the logo itself needs a direct license for that, which we do not have. The only thing which is licensed is the photographic content. For example, with a photo of a statue, we need a license for the photo, and (if not in a FoP country) we would need permission from the sculptor something roughly equivalent to FoP permission -- we do not require the statue itself to be fully licensed, which would let other people make copies of the statue itself. We just need permission for the photo to be used as a photo. And of course, it's usually more trademark rights which cover logos, not copyrights, but that is a Commons:Non-copyright restriction so we ignore that for licensing requirements (which are strictly about copyright). Carl Lindberg (talk) 21:33, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
No ned to use De minimis. A photo showing only the logo is still covered by FOP-Spain. De minims would be relevant in a country with FOP for buildings but not for 2D works, but FOP-Spain covers both.--Pere prlpz (talk) 10:24, 14 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Correct for these. The nominator was asking some more hypothetical questions though, so just mentioning that for non-FoP countries as well. But even with FoP, don't think you could take a straight-on photo, and crop it to remove all public context, then use it. If something amounts to a copy and can serve as a substitute, it would violate article 40bis of Spain's law -- The Articles of this Chapter may not be so interpreted that they could be applied in a manner capable of unreasonably prejudicing the legitimate interests of the author or adversely affecting the normal exploitation of the works to which they refer. That slight limitation is imposed by the Berne Convention (the wording in Spain's law is taken directly from the treaty). Carl Lindberg (talk) 13:10, 14 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
So File:034 Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, Futbol Club Barcelona (Sant Joan Despí) (cropped).jpg should be deleted in violation of article 40bis? Jonteemil (talk) 14:22, 14 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That's the closest one, but I think that is still a photo of the logo in its public context. Carl Lindberg (talk) 14:49, 14 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That kind of photos (File:034 Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, Futbol Club Barcelona (Sant Joan Despí) (cropped).jpg) has never been deleted in Commons, and "unreasonable" has never been understood here this way. Photos of murals are the textbook example of FOP. The "unrasonable" and "legitimate" are usually understood about works placed outside without permission. Here, it's reasonable and safe to assume that the club is using its own logo with permission and that it has willingly placed the logo in its own wall facing the street. No reason to delete.--Pere prlpz (talk) 09:54, 15 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Keep Obvious FOP case. The pictures are clearly taken from the street (in case of doubt, a quick Google Street View check confirms it) and the logo is clearly a work placed permanently in a public place with permission of the copyright owner. It would be hard to imagine a more obvious example of FOP-Spain.--Pere prlpz (talk) 10:21, 14 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Comment This discussion should have been on COM:VPC.

File:Animoca Brands logo.svg[edit]

This is a logo for a Hong-Kong based company, so COM:L requires that this be freely available in both the United States and in Hong Kong. While simple, and probably under COM:TOO USA, COM:TOO Hong Kong indicates that the TOO in Hong Kong presumed to be equivalent to that of the United Kingdom (i.e. very low). With things like the logo of Edge Magazine being under the U..K.'s threshold of originality, it seems likely that this logo (particularly with the crowned figure for the "o" in "animoca" and the placement of "BRANDS" as negative space) is above the TOO in the U.K., and thus would appear to be above the TOO in the administrative region of this logo's origin. For these reasons, I believe that the file should be  deleted in line with COM:PRP as being non-free in Hong Kong. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 20:34, 12 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hans Cappelen that is correct. These are exact duplicates. And if you read the file description of the newer vector versions of the 6 variants of the coat of arms of the Storting that are in use today you will see that I have explained precisely what each coat of arms is used for.

Unlikely to be own. Image widely been found on the internet (e.g. here) with no exif data. 3knolls (talk) 16:13, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The image is mine because the author gave it to my dad in 2015: that's why I printed it a few years ago and it's a poster on my room's wall. The author took it about 10 yers ago while flying over the village. I met him yesterday in order to speak about this image. I specifically asked if I could upload and he said yes. However, the image is not everywhere online. It's just available on 2 web pages: here (and in the same web page, just the English translation) and here. It's easy to check: just use Google Lens. However, the images on those web pages are low quality, mine is HD and it's easy to know why: I have the genuine file. The photo was uploaded on social media a few years ago and then deleted. So it's easy to find out why someone else has it: they downloaded it in low quality from Facebook years ago to be able to misuse it. I hope my report can clear up the misunderstanding. I apologize for the bad English, I hope it's all understandable. And I apologize for any possible mistake too, I'm just a beginner in Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. I look forward to receiving your feedback. Thank you. Frg.gm (talk) 06:14, 14 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Next, please read the instructions at COM:VRT.

Files in Category:Waldemar Kolmsperger d. J.[edit]

The painter who created these paintings/frescoes in German or Austrian churches, Waldemar Kolmsperger the Younger, died in 1954, so his works are not in the public domain in Germany and Austria yet, and the files should be deleted. There is no freedom of panorama inside buildings in Germany, and while freedom of panorama in Austria (COM:FOP Austria) does extend to building parts (like church windows, among many other parts) also when photographed from the inside, it does not cover frescoes.

The works were created in various years from 1925 to 1945 and had their US copyrights restored by the URAA. The files can therefore be restored in various years from 2025 to 2041, depending on if the German/Austrian or the US copyright will run longer. I'll add notes and categories.

Commons:Licensing: “Wikimedia Commons only accepts media [...] that are in the public domain in at least the United States and in the source country of the work.” As explained above, based on the year they were created, some of the works are still protected in the USA (because of the URAA law). US copyright terms of that kind run for 95 years. The work from Pfons/Matrei dates from 1945, so it is still protected in the USA until the end of 2040. --Rosenzweig τ 17:21, 19 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That is absurd. The 70-years-after-death rule has always ben applied to artworks from Austria. If that would really be the case, then thousands of images had to be deleted (or better be moved to the German Wikipedia).

Files in Category:Statue of Aristide Briand in Ouistreham[edit]

This 1934 sculpture by French artist Emile-Oscar Guillaume is located in France. Guillaume died in 1954, so the work is not in the public domain in France yet. French freedom of panorama excludes commercial uses and is not acceptable for Wikimedia Commons. The sculpture's US copyright was restored by the URAA and runs until the end of 2029. So the files should be deleted. They can be restored in 2030.

Rosenzweig τ 20:32, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello Rosenzweig,
There's serious doubt about the French sculptor Émile Guillaume's year of death. 1954 or 1942 ?
Two art websites and the base Leonore, an Archives nationales de France database that lists the records of the members of the National Order of the Legion of honor, give 1942 as year of death for Émile Guillaume.
The French Wikipédia article gives 1954 as year of death and gives as the source of a such information, the birth records in Paris archives where the date of his death would have been added. But I didn't find this information with the link in the article. The university of Nantes and an editor website where a book on Émile Guillaume has been published also gave 1954 year but an interview of the book author gave 1942 ǃ
The Wikidata element gaves both 1942 (4 references, one of which is the serious Benezit dictionnary of artists (I can't read it) and 1954 (1 reference, the above-mentioned Paris birth record).
So it probably needs some further researchs
TCY (talk) 23:57, 15 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Which means 1954 is not some absurd theory, but a serious possibility. Per COM:PCP, we then have to assume 1954 could be true and act accordingly. A 1942 death year would not change anything for the US copyright of this statue anyway. --Rosenzweig τ 06:29, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The Legion of Honor file has an Avis de décès which says he died 17-7-54 in Paris. I don't know why their overview says he died on 01/01/1942 (a death date of January 1 is a bit suspicious anyway, not impossible of course, but it looks a bit like a placeholder). --Rosenzweig τ 06:38, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
On further investigation, the year of birth appears to be 1954. It can be seen on the cover of the biography dedicated to him]. And the sculptor is the great-grandfather of the author's wife. And in the book, it's written : "Samedi 7 juillet 1954 à 7h00 du soir, décés à son domicile du square Vergennes à Paris (15e)" (Saturday, July 7, 1954 à 7PM, death at his home, square Vergennes, Paris (15th arrondissement).
As this lady seems to have the rights, I'll ask her if she'll accept the photos. :)
In the meantime, OK to remove the photos from Commons and to restore them no later than January 1, 2025 when his works will be in the public domain in France (January 1 following the 70th anniversary of his death if I not mistaken). TCY (talk) 18:57, 18 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Here at Wikimedia Commons, we also have to consider US copyright (see Commons:Licensing), and that runs to the end of 2029 for a 1934 sculpture. --Rosenzweig τ 17:28, 19 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
July 7, 1954 was a Wednesday by the way, not a Saturday. July 17, 1954 (as noted in the avis de décès) was a Saturday, so that would fit. --Rosenzweig τ 17:28, 19 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Delete No, this isn't "news of the day"; that sort of exemption tends to protect facts, not what essentially amounts to a stock photograph. Merely that a photograph is included in a news report does not appear to remove its copyrights; the law's English translation at WIPO states the exact exemption as News of day, data about various events and the facts of information character (Azeri: günün yenilikləri, müxtəlif hadisə və faktlar barədə informasiya xarakterli məlumatlar). But this photograph seems to go beyond that narrow exception, so this should be deleted in line with COM:PRP. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 05:29, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    The exemption states "News of the day...and the facts of information character."
    The website of the Foreign Ministry literally has discussed the checkpoint multiple times under its "Press service," sometimes twice on the same day or on consecutive days. If this isn't "news of the day," then what is? To be clear, are you saying that no photos published by the Foreign Ministry can be exempt from copyright? R.Lemkin (talk) 16:25, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    No, that phrase has a technical meaning in the context of the Berne Convention; see page 30 of this guide. Article 1, Section 8 of the Berne Convention is the relevant treaty to look at, and you will notice that the language is the exact same. The exemption is quite narrow in practice. Just as Associated Press photographs taken yesterday are copyrighted in the United States, even if they are used in newspapers, so too are press photographs taken by citizens of Azerbaijan. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 18:36, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

We have a claim in the ticket:2023081010004811 that the photo was made from a private garden without permission. Initially I thought that it was made from this street position but Google view shows trees there that were not much smaller 3 years ago. Also, metadata does not suggest about using tele. If the photo was not made from a public location, we may have not only privacy infringement, but also a copyright problem, depending on the architect death date.

Hello. The picture has been taken from a public place, namely : from a narrow street running behind the pictured house. You can easily verify it if you ask ‘Rue Chasse Lotteau, Angre Honnelles’ in Google Street View (go to the southern part of the mentioned street). Best regards. Torsade de Pointes (talk) 17:12, 15 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Maybe, but not convincing to me. As you can see in the linked above Google street image, the space between trees is so narrow that it is unlikely to make a good photo of the building from Rue Chasse Lotteau. Moreover, I doubt if the photo could be made from the street (which is 70m away from the building) using 16mm lens (which has view angle ~100 degrees). But I would appreciate another opinion. Ankry (talk) 09:23, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
What you see in Street View is the situation as it was ten years ago. Since then, the trees have grown taller, making more likely that there would be sufficient space between the trunks to take that photograph. I can’t remember exactly of course, but what I’m sure about is that I did not jump over the wall to take that picture!—Torsade de Pointes (talk) 18:29, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hello, I'm the person requesting that the image be removed because it's not the facade visible from the main street! This is our private garden! This garden has a 2m wall all around the house. It is therefore not possible to obtain this view without climbing the wall or taking a ladder (or other indiscretion). We've lived in this house for 30 years, so we've known about all the changes for several years, and this wall hasn't changed. On the other hand, this photo is no more than 5 years old (there were other plantations before that). Please remove this photo. 95.182.192.53 07:09, 4 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Not covered by FOP Spain, as there is not any shred of panorama here - instead, the images and crops only cover copyrighted material, interfering in the author legitimate interests of exploitation of his work. Notably, it goes against this disposition of the law: "The above may not be so interpreted that they could be applied in a manner capable of unreasonably prejudicing the legitimate interests of the author or adversely affecting the normal exploitation of the works to which they refer."

  •  Keep Spain allows 2D art per COM:FOP. If you want to change our interpretation of Spanish law, you should start a thread at COM:VPC instead of opening individual DRs that argue for an interpretation of the law which is contrary to longstanding consensus. -- King of ♥ 09:17, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    @King of Hearts Pardon me, but who are you, to have any expectation that your personal opinion would prevail over what has been consistently decided by the Spanish courts, and written numerous times by Spanish jurists, and why do you have any expectation that somehow COM:VPC would prevail over these courts? Not only Spanish FOP (article 32.2) do not apply to copyrighted works extracted from it's panorama, due to its obvious interference with the normal exploitation of the work by its author, but there are actually serious doubts that it still exists at all for commercial use after the introduction of article 40bis - "Tras la introducción en nuestro ordenamiento del artículo 40 bis LPI 183, la doctrina que se ha ocupado de esta cuestión se ha pronunciado unánimemente en contra de permitir, al amparo del artículo 35.2 LPI, la utilización de obras ubicadas en la vía pública cuando haya fines lucrativos / After the introduction into our legal system of Article 40 bis of the LPI 183, the doctrine that has dealt with this issue has unanimously ruled against allowing, under the protection of Article 35.2 of the LPI, the use of works located in public places when there are profit-making purposes." (source, p. 75) but I'll not go into this last one, at least for now, since it would revoke the entire Spanish FOP. The cases in this DR are similar to others that have a clear court sentence in Spain against the commercialization of such works. See, for instance, the jurisprudence and court cases cited here, page 74 and following ones, notably the cases of "Conjunto Escultorico Los Raqueros" and "Toro de Osborne", among others, which ruled against the commercialization of reproductions of these works by 3rd persons, despite being located in a public space. Darwin Ahoy! 13:09, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    I do not have a solid enough understanding of Spanish law to form a personal opinion on the matter. However, it is important to note that what you call "what has been consistently decided by the Spanish courts, and written numerous times by Spanish jurists" is nothing more than your personal interpretation of what Spanish legal professionals have written, which does not override the community's interpretation of the same. The community may decide to change their interpretation at VPC if you provide sufficiently compelling arguments, however. -- King of ♥ 16:34, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    @King of Hearts No, it is not my interpretation at all, as can be seen from the court cases, quotes and sources mentioned above, which apparently you didn't care to read. Darwin Ahoy! 20:31, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Did the courts rule specifically on this mural? If not, then your claim that the precedent is applicable here is original research. Whenever we have general jurisprudence that appears to affect a very large category of images, we always want to first filter it through the community, who may: 1) decide that such images are free enough for Commons anyways (e.g. we have long allowed COM:DM photos even though they prohibit certain types of derivative works such as extracting a 2D billboard from a cityscape in the US, and this restriction technically violates the Four Freedoms of Free Cultural Works); 2) find contradictory jurisprudence from other sources. Since we don't know if your examples are cherry-picked or truly representative of the Spanish legal consensus, it is currently nothing more than your own original research/synthesis of the sources.
    Since you do not seem to be arguing that this work is any different from any other 2D murals in Spain, let's not waste any more time in this DR and resolve the issue at a global level at VPC. Then these images will be kept or deleted based on the global community consensus interpretation of the law. If everyone else backs up your interpretation, then we can codify it in COM:FOP Spain and move on. -- King of ♥ 21:14, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Dcapillae I'm not contesting (for now) that the mural inserted in the surrounding scenery is a violation of copyright, though the Spanish jurisprudence seems to point that indeed it is. However, any instance of these works that isolate the work from it's surrounding panorama and use it for commercial purposes are indeed copyright violations in Spain, as has been consistently ruled by Spanish courts (see above).

My only interest in this matter is to know if I can continue documenting photographically the murals in Malaga, Spain. I have been doing it for several years. I am photographically documenting the murals, graffiti, memorials, public art and street art in Malaga and wish to continue doing so.

@Dcapillae Look, this is nothing personal against you as a photographer, it's a mistake commonly done and has nothing to do with the quality or pertinence of your work, which I vehemently applaud. While I'm absolutely sure that the commercialization of the work extracted from its panorama is a violation of copyright in Spain, as is in many other jurisdictions like Brazil and Portugal, I still hope that the reproduction of the work inserted in the panorama would be allowed under the current law. However, a number of sources I consulted say the opposite, so I'll be opening a topic about it in COM:VPC, so that we as a community can check if FOP in Spain exists at all and eventually find more sources clarifying its status, or otherwise act accordingly to remove the copyright violations from Commons.

  •  Delete It seems pretty clear to me after reading through the discussion on the copyright board that Spanish FoP doesn't cover images being used for commercial purposes. To cite something from a source that was provided by DarwIn "the doctrine that has dealt with this issue has unanimously ruled against allowing, under the protection of Article 35.2 of the LPI, the use of works located in public places when there are profit-making purposes." Also another source says ""Authorization or permission required not for transforming or photographing the work, but for exploiting the results of the transformation." I'm not really sure how anyone can claim a unanimous decision against images being used for commercial purposes is just DarwIn's "personal interpretation of Spanish law" or whatever. Guidelines are supposed to be based on actual cases, the opinions of legal experts, and the scope of the project scope (which doesn't allow for images that can't be used commercially). All of those things point in the direction of deleting these images. Not to say it's not worth having a wider discussion about, but the images should clearly be deleted regardless. It's not like they can't just be un-deleted if the discussion goes a different way. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:47, 18 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Freedom of panorama section says that "authorization from the copyright holder is required for commercial use of photographs". I understand that you are referring to copyrighted works.

I am interested in this matter because if the images of this mural are deleted, I think the administrators should also delete all the other images of street murals that I have uploaded (and many others that are in Commons). I have put a lot of work into this and it would hurt me, but if that is the right decision, I accept it. What I would not understand would be to delete these images and not delete all the others in Commons.--Dcapillae (talk) 10:54, 18 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I think it depends on the situation and if we know who the artist is or not. Like if a business hires an artist to paint a mural on the side of their shop and said artist puts their signature on the mural then it's reasonable to assume the work is copyrighted. You'd probably be fine if the mural is just random graffiti on a highway underpass and there's no way to prove who created it though. In this case we know who the artist is and I wouldn't call it graffiti. So it's probably worth airing on the side of caution by just deleting the images. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:21, 19 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It's not graffiti, it's a mural. Almost every mural I have photographed has an author. I usually research each piece to find out the name of the author and the date of creation. That, in addition to taking photographs, is what my contributions to Commons consist of. You can check my gallery of murals and graffiti and you will see that most murals and graffiti incorporate the name of the author, as in this case.
I initiated this project as part of my contributions to OpenStreetMap. I have been working for years to geolocate public art, street art and memorials in Malaga (Spain), adding their location on the map and uploading at least one image to Commons. I insist that I don't understand why this mural should be deleted and not all the others in Commons. I am saddened by the deletion of my contributions, but I accept the decision if it is correct and reasoned. In this case I don't understand why this mural should be deleted and not all the others in Commons. Dcapillae (talk) 07:45, 19 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I wouldn't call it graffiti. Nor would I. The reason I mentioned it is because there's Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter#graffiti, which has this line "Graffiti are essentially murals that have been painted illegally. Photographs of graffiti have long been allowed on Commons. As artistic works, copyright in graffiti will theoretically belong to the original artist. However, in many cases the artist is unknown, proof of authorship of the art is problematic, and, some believe, the artist would have difficulty enforcing their copyright since that would require a court to uphold the validity of an illegal act as the basis for damages or other relief against a third party." That's the only reason I can think of why these images would be allowed, but as you say we know who the original artist is and they can prove authorship without admitting to doing something illegal in the process. It would be hard to argue that they qualify for freedom of panorama since the Spanish courts has ruled against commercial use of works situated in public spaces where the work had been extracted from it's surrounding panorama given that these are zoomed in shots of the artwork that are devoid of the surroundings. So I'm not really sure what other grounds there would be to keep the images. That's just my opinion though.
I initiated as part of my contributions to OpenStreetMap. Might I suggest using Mapillary? I know it's not popular with OpenStreetMap users since they got bought out by Facebook but they don't really care about FoP and I'm pretty sure you can re-upload them to Mappillary using their desktop app if the images have coordinates. I'm pretty sure there's a tag for them in OSM that's supported at least by OsmAnd, if not other apps, to. Really, I'd recommend doing that even if the images are kept since It's always good to images backed up and supported in multiple places just in case anyway. Apparently there's even a tag for images hosted on flickr. Although I don't know what OsmAnd software supports it, but you might also look into to that. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:09, 20 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thank you. I am still interested in knowing why images like this mural cannot be uploaded to Commons when there are many street murals on Commons whose author is known and they are not illegal works. I would be disappointed with the decision of the administrators if they deleted only these images and not all other murals on Commons. The guidelines should be the same for everyone. Dcapillae (talk) 06:41, 20 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
P.S.: Graffiti can also have a known author and not be illegal. For example, this graffiti by Octavi Serra (Aryz).
  •  Keep. These pictures are bidimensional reproductions of works in permanent display at publicly-accesible places and therefore they are subject to the FoP exception pursuant to article 35.2 of the Spanish Copyright Act. As things stand now, the question of transformation has been the subject to doctrinal debate, but I couldn't find any judgement that holds that it is a copyright infringement to remove the surrounding panorama of a FoP picture. As I've stated elsewhere you can find as much sources and scholars arguing that FoP pictures do not need to be accesory or incidental, and that some acts of transformation are also allowed or even a logic consequence attached to taking the photograph, the video or the drawing (cf. Bercovitz Rodríguez-Cano, Martín Salamanca or Rodríguez Tapia, to name some). Who's right? If anything, the question is not settled; precisely because of the absence of case law. I don't think that by simply uploading and hosting these pictures in Commons we are causing the author an "unjustifiable" prejudice to his legitimate interests (the paternity and integrity moral rights are being fully respected) nor that this is against the "normal exploitation" of his work, which in any case must be proven. Both concepts are dynamic and need a case-by-case interpretation because there's no one-size-fit-all answer. About these limits, the Spanish Supreme Court (Judgement no. STS 3942/2012 of April 3, 2012) held that (intellectual) property is not an absolute right and is limited by the Spanish constitution to serve a social function according to the laws, and while copyright exceptions have to be narrowly construed, nor article 40 bis LPI nor the closed system of exceptions can be used abusively nor to foresee absurd hypotheses, nor prevent the ius usus inocui doctrine in copyright law, subject to a case-by-case analysis pursuant to both article 40 bis of the Spanish Copyright Act and article 7 of the Spanish Civil Code. Then there's the attempt of some scholars to extrapolate the Swedish court decision of COM:FOP Sweden to Spain. None of the sources that argue that the Swedish judgement shall apply to Spain can identify any Spanish judgement that has ruled about a similar case, and openly say so. Nonetheless Hernando Collazo (to name one) thinks it may apply because in her opinion a Supreme Court judgement of December 2012 that ruled about a paid online database for ringtones supports her views. That case involved a for-profit company taking parts of copyrighted songs, transforming them into ringtones and then putting them up for sale; nothing like that is being done here, nor songs are a matter of of FoP either.

I think these stamps might be consired works of applied arts. If so, {{PD-Croatia}} applies.  Keep. -- Robert Weemeyer (talk) 11:22, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
They are all licensed with PD-Italy. So I assume the proper copyright would be Italy. Or at least both places, but they should be deleted regardless if that's the case. Otherwise the files should have been licensed using a template for Italy. Although even if the copyright is for Croatia the artist of the stamps died in 1972. So PD-Croatia doesn't apply anyway. Unless your going to argue that stamps are applied art, but then I'd point out currency in Croatia is copyrighted and there's zero reason stamps would be PD as applied art if currency isn't. Meaning there's still zero justification to assume these stamps are in the public domain no matter which countries laws you want to apply. --Adamant1 (talk) 11:44, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Se ne propone la cancellazione in quanto proveniente dal mercato delle aste e di dubbia paternità. Potrebbe trattarsi di un falso. Il quadro non è mai stato citato dalla critica e non compare nelle monografie e nei cataloghi di studiosi affermati sulla figura di Francesco Netti. Nella stessa asta in cui il quadro fu posto in vendita la prima volta il viso della donna in primo piano aveva una somiglianza sorprendente con un altro quadro nella stessa asta attribuito a Francesco Hayez. In generale sarebbe preferibile presentare l'artista su Wikipedia con opere che lo hanno reso celebre non con quelle presenti su internet e di dubbia provenienza.

I did not want to admit at first but in some years' distance I can say (write) that I was wrong then, wanted to find rare Apium at any cost. The plant on the photograph looks like Berula now. In the last years I also learned that Berula erecta more often exists in this area where I live in. It only exists temporarily for a few years in a place and then other plants take over. Apium can stay longer, but it vanishes too (Equisetum hyemale is able to supersede it, as I could find, by visiting old known places where it once lived).

Public domain in the US, would need more information on postcard creator to determine copyright status in France. Abzeronow (talk) 18:50, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:IEEE defends duplicate publication 2015.pdf[edit]

A lengthy email is copyrightable, furthermore most academic journals will ask for some evidence of consent before allowing publication/disclosure of an e-mail between 2 parties. It's not clear if the uploader is one of the mentioned parties in the e-mail. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 18:56, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Delete as a copyright violation. To pre-emptively note some possible objections, I will note that
  • Tennessee is not one of the states that put their government documents in the public domain (source)
  • Regardless, most of the email is written by an employee of IEEE, a private organization
Vahurzpu (talk) 19:03, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The objection is in error. Tennessee does indeed put its government documents in the public domain, as per statute:
As used in this part and title 8, chapter 4, part 6, "public record or records" or "state record or records" means all documents, papers, letters, maps, books, photographs, microfilms, electronic data processing files and output, films, sound recordings or other material, regardless of physical form or characteristics, made or received pursuant to law or ordinance or in connection with the transaction of official business by any governmental agency.
TN Code § 10-7-503
The email was "received ... in connection with the transaction of official business by any governmental agency," namely the University of Tennessee.
The objection links to a website that is in agreement with the uploading of a state university public record:
"The Tennessee Public Records Act does not restrict subsequent use of records, or require a requestor to disclose their intended use." Mentionmart (talk) 19:16, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The email is a public record under state law. It is in the public domain and not subject to copyright. Mentionmart (talk) 19:03, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Public record, and public domain are not the same thing. A document can be public record and still subject to copyright, especially that produced by a private organisation like the IEEE. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 19:06, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
There is no copyright in government documents in the public domain, as per statute:
As used in this part and title 8, chapter 4, part 6, "public record or records" or "state record or records" means all documents, papers, letters, maps, books, photographs, microfilms, electronic data processing files and output, films, sound recordings or other material, regardless of physical form or characteristics, made or received pursuant to law or ordinance or in connection with the transaction of official business by any governmental agency.
TN Code § 10-7-503
The email was "received ... in connection with the transaction of official business by any governmental agency," namely the University of Tennessee. The sender and recipient have no rights with respect to copies of the document, inasmuch as TN Code § 10-7-503 provides that copies are available upon request, and does not restrict their subsequent use. As a result, copies can be made freely and used freely, including uploads to wikimedia. Mentionmart (talk) 22:33, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
In addition, there are numerous exceptions to the Tennessee Public Records Act. A summary is available at [7]; while I am not qualified to make a definitive statement on the matter, 49-7-120 could potentially be relevant. Omphalographer (talk) 22:38, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Regarding TN Code 49-7-120, it creates exceptions for such things as patentable materials and trade secrets.
The university has already released this document in response to a request for records, thereby demonstrating that the document is not subject to the exceptions. Mentionmart (talk) 22:56, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The aim of wikimedia commons is to make educational media content available to all.
The expression "educational" is to be understood according to its broad meaning of "providing knowledge; instructional or informative".
The content of the file is educational. It explains the position of the IEEE IAS Publications Editorial Office regarding duplicate publications due to an:
important change in IEEE Publication Policy that will take effect in January 2016. Many of you are aware of the debate that has been raging within IEEE over handling of conference papers.
The document provides knowledge, is instructional and informative. Mentionmart (talk) 01:01, 18 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
You're wasting time. Read COM:SCOPE. Files that are purely text are not in scope. And arguing here won't change that.

  •  Comment I don't think it matters that the link is dead, as it passed Flick review. As for the shirt, can photos of shirts not worn as part of costumes by cosplay actors be deleted for being derivative works? I thought that since they were clothing, they couldn't be, but that could depend on a particular country's law.

    • I'm not expert on how T-shirts interact with copyright law but the art of Chuck Norris likely was made from a photograph or some other image of him, so I'd defer to the experts as far as T-shirts go. This is apparently from Spain, where consent is required to publish photographs of persons. Abzeronow (talk) 22:22, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

    I am the person under concern about the picture. I am not complaining about the T-shirt itself but about the fact that my name is associated to the file of the picture so when somebody look for me in Google they get that picture. In case companies look for information about me for a job selection process I don't want them to find that picture as it was uploaded without my consent. To avoid problems of this type related to my digital fingerprint, I would like the name of the file to be changed or the picture to be eliminated.

This logo is outdated, but surfaces as logo in rich snippets on google. This is why the company wants it removed. Could it be tagged as former logo so that google understands? Please check also mevaco.com Justwannauploadalogo (talk) 07:45, 18 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Keep Seems reasonably notable, based on a web search, though that's debatable. Justwannauploadalogo, you can edit the file description to reflect the fact that this was the company's logo between (whatever years), you can request a filename change (see Commons:File renaming), and of course you can upload your current logo under a separate filename (including this filename, once the former logo has a new filename). It's possible that the closing admin will decide that your company is not notable and that Commons shouldn't host any of your logos at all, so why don't you make a statement below that demonstrates how your company is notable? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:31, 19 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This file may meet the criteria for speedy deletion. This file is a copyright violation because it is copyrighted and not published under a free license. The file is subject to speedy deletion unless it is relicensed according to the Commons licensing policy. This file is a copyright violation for the following reason: It is not known when it was published. Licence is invalid. No evidence that the author died 70 years ago. Photo scanned from website. Please refer to Commons:Publication. There is no evidence that it was published 70 years ago. There are many indications that this is a photograph taken by a private person. Please refer to Commons:Project scope/Evidence. The uploader failed to prove that the photo was published over 70 years ago. This is not factory photography. Date of taking of the picture is unknown. All content in the book is copyrighted by the publisher. Respecting copyright is not about making claims without evidence. It never means that someone can scan a photo from a book and a recipe that they introduce shortly after creating it. The photo comes from a private collection with a high probability. The picture probably comes from the family archives. There are no signs that this is a promotional photo. Many such photos were kept in private archival collections. No one can ever immediately assume that a photo was published immediately after it was taken. It shouldn't be discretionary. This can never be an arbitrary decision by one editor. 5.173.103.35 11:33, 18 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Cessna 172P over Lago di Guardia in FlightGear.jpg[edit]

A screen of a game that is not freely licenced.
After a bit more research I found that it is a screenshot from the video game en:FlightGear which is licenced under the GPL licence (so this part is no longer an issue). The question that remains is weather a screenshot (of a game licenced under GPL) can be published under CC-BY-SA-4.0. IMHO we should have a template for screenshots of FlightGear since there are more of them in Category:FlightGear.
If unclear: The remaining question of this deletion request is if the used licence is correct (since you can not free licence files for which you do not own the copyright) --D-Kuru (talk) 08:35, 19 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

More updates:
This image itself is taken from http://wiki.flightgear.org/ and there is no further link that would give any clue that it was created outisde of this project. However, the Screenshot of the month (SOTM) on the wiki's main page links to https://forum.flightgear.org/. An example would be this image that links to this forum page. The "Participation Rules" say:
10. You agree to license your screenshot under the CC-BY-SA 4.0 license for publication by the FlightGear project.
11. You agree that the screenshot may be used to promote the FlightGear project, including publication on the flightsim.com forum with proper attribution according to the CC-BY-SA 4.0 license.
If we just look at the forum, it seems that CC-BY-SA-4.0 is the correct licence. However, it is not said at all that the game devs really allowed licencing screenshots of their GPL licenced game under CC-BY-SA-4.0. I went through the page on wikipedia, their wiki and the official website but I couldn't find any note on that. It's possible that I missed something, so feel free to check again.
If CC-BY-SA-4.0 is not the correct licence we could still use eg. {{Free screenshot|license={{GPL}}}} for the image since the game is without a doubt licenced under the GPL.

The argument in that DR is wrong. As I stated the files were published after the US entered the Berne Convention. The Berne Convention implies that all works published in a member state (Argentina in this case) are protected automatically in the other member states (the US in this case). It follows that the US did not restore the copyright of any of these images at URAA time for the simple reason they were never in the US public domain.

There are many agreements between Blizzard and Lego to launch an Overwatch game collaboration product on the Lego website or in media articles.
Isn't the collaboration product a licensed brand?

Oh, yes. I understand what you're saying. Thank you for your kind words.
But isn't it impossible to upload an image because it's a duplicate upload if you mosaic it?
Even if I can, I think I'll make a mistake because I don't know how.
Please delete it

Do I need to upload a new version of this file through upload?
Replication upload is not available in this domain. There is a warning.
I've tried many times, but I can't upload it because I don't know how.
So I mosaiced the Lego box image and re-uploaded it.

Notice that the logo on the bottom-left corner is from Universum Film AG, a German film company located in Berlin. According to our Wiki entry Oberth advised Fritz Lang during 1928-1929 for the film Frau im Mond.

Files in Category:Photographs by Apolo Ronchi[edit]

The Uruguayan photographer Apolo Ronchi Desquier died in 1963. The copyright in Uruguay is 70 years pma, thus all these images are not in the public domain in its country of origin. Notice that in the past protection was for 50 years, but in 2019 it was extended and applied retroactively. I don't know when they can be undeleted because the copyright in the United States was probably restored in 1996.

    The photos by Apolo Rochi are from the private collection of Lauro Ayestarán and you can find them here. Notice that they are not part of the catalog. If you click on any of the images you can see "© Fotografías del Archivo Lauro Ayestarán / Centro Nacional de Documentación Musical".

Files in Category:2021 postage stamps of Albania[edit]

These images are licensed with PD-Albania-exempt, probably because of the part of it that says means of payment are in the public domain. Most countries don't consider stamps to means of payment though and there's zero evidence at least from what I could that Albania does. So these images should be deleted as COPYVIO until 2092 per the normal term unless someone can provide evidence to the contrary.

Adamant1 (talk) 04:50, 20 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Keep. {{PD-Albania-exempt}} is based on Copyright Law No.35/2016, which says that means of payment (mjetet e pagesës) are not protected by the Albanian copyright. This government regulation on postal stamps, in General Provisions, Article 2 (Neni 2), says "Postal stamp is used to pay for postal services .." ("Pulla postare shërben për pagesën e shërbimeve postare .." ). Materialscientist (talk) 06:22, 20 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'm not going to dispute what you cited, but it should be added to the guideline if that's the case because I asked what them qualifying for PD-Albania-exempt was based on six months ago, no one ever responded, and I couldn't find the document your referring to in the meantime either. Obviously no one can follow a document if it's not even cited in the guideline and guidelines should be based on more then a template that was unilaterally added to the article when it was created without evidence that it was valid. It's good that you found something confirming that Albania considers stamps to be means of payment though. But it would have been cool if that was done sooner. Not that I'm blaming you for the fact that it wasn't. But there's clearly a disconnect between a lot of the guidelines and them being properly sourced. Not just with stamps. Although it does seem pretty pervasive in that area for some reason. Anyway, I'd appreciate it if you added a reference to the document in the guideline since there isn't one currently. Thanks. -Adamant1 (talk) 07:15, 20 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Files in Category:Marina Kalezić[edit]

This is a follow up to Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Famous_personalities_1999_Yugoslavia_stamp.jpg which resulted in delete. Rosenzweig gave a better argument there for why Serbian stamps don't qualify for PD-SerbiaGov then I can, but summarize Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Serbia says nothing about stamps and the Intellectual Property Office of the Republic of Serbia said in email that only "“official acts, drawings and blueprints of building and cadaster agencies, diplomas, certificates, official reports of government agencies, statistical reports, drafts of Laws and other documents" are covered. Stamps are none of those. So there's zero evidence that the Serbian government considers them to be official materials or in the public domain. Given that, these images should be deleted as COPYVIO per the normal term of 70+ years after the artist died. While I wasn't able to find information on if Marina Kalezić is dead or not, it clearly hasn't been 70+ since their death due to these stamps being published in the 2000s.

Adamant1 (talk) 05:14, 20 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It seems weird to me that there would be a multiple point clause in the law laying out specific things that are in the public domain like law acts and judgments if at the end of the day everything created persons or institutions which do public functions are PD regardless. It's not like laws or judgments aren't created by institutions that do public functions. So at least IMO the fact that it specifically lays out specific types of works that are free of copyright kind of insinuates that there are other things that aren't. Otherwise there'd be zero reason for them to cite specific examples. There's also the clarifying email. Plus Like you said yourself, there's ticket:2012042310010184 for other Serbian stamps, which I had nothing to do with BTW. I don't know why we need special permission in one instance to host the images, but not in the other. Either Serbian stamps are copyrighted and we need VRT permission to host them, or they aren't and we don't.
As a side to that it's also unclear if Post of Serbia is even considered a government agency to begin with since they are owned by a holding company. Although that's less important IMO to the other points I've brought up, mainly that there would be zero reason that the law would name specific types of works that are PD if everything created by the government is de-facto in the public domain. And the clarifying email is particularly strong evidence against stamps being PD in that regard. Although us needing VRT permission to host other Serbian stamps also points to them being copyrighted. Otherwise there's no reason Marina Kalezić would have given us permission to host the images to begin with. If they want to file VRT permission for these stamps to though, cool. But there's no justification to keep the images baring that happening. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:14, 22 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Ownership or possession of a photo, proprietorship of the equipment used to take the photo, or being the subject of the photo does not equate holding the copyright. The copyright holder is the photographer (i.e. the person who took the photo), rather that the subject (the person who appears in the photo) or the person possessing the photo, unless transferred by operation of law (e.g. inheritance, etc.) or by contract (written and signed by the copyright holder, and explicitly transfers the copyright).

File:Union Station Mural by Gregory Ackers Columbus, Ohio 1987.jpg[edit]

There's no freedom of panorama for publicly displayed 2D works of art like this mural installed after January 1, 1978, per COM:FOP United States, and formalities such as a copyright notice and registration also seemed to stop being required for such works after 1978. This means that copyright status of the mural itself needs to be assessed and unless it can be clearly shown to be within the public domain, the artist's COM:CONSENT is needed for the file to be considered OK to keep by Commons. The license for the photo is fine, but I don't believe it extends to the mural itself, and the photo is a COM:DW in which both the photo and the photographed mural need to be clearly OK from a copyright standpoint for Commons to keep. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:14, 20 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

    Commons doesn't accept any type of fair use content per COM:FAIR; however, some local Wikipedia projects do allow such content to be uploaded and used.

    The restrictions that local Wikipedia projects place on non-free content (e.g. fair use, fair dealing content) aren't relevant to Commons. These restrictions do not make it OK to upload higher resolution images of fair use content to Commons. If you find the restrictions of the local projects to be too restrictive, you can seek a consensus to change them on the local projects. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:59, 21 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Murals by Gregory Ackers[edit]

Since there's no freedom of panorama for publicly displayed 2D works of art like these murals installed after January 1, 1978, per COM:FOP United States, and formalities such as a copyright notice and registration also seemed to stop being required for such works after 1978, the copyright statuses of these two murals themselves needs to be assessed. Unless it can be clearly shown that they are within the public domain, the artist's COM:CONSENT is needed for these files to be considered OK to keep by Commons. The Flickr license for the "Trains mural" photo is fine, but I don't believe it extends to the mural itself (which is described as being completed in 1989 per en:Trains (mural)), which makes the photo a COM:DW in which both the photo and the photographed work need to be clearly OK from a copyright standpoint for Commons to keep. The {{DLC}} licensing for the "Union Station" mural was created by the file's uploader and doesn't appear to have been vetted for accuracy. It also doesn't seem to be applicable because the mural is described as being finished in 1987 per en:Union Station (mural), which means it's not going to be within the public domain simply because of its age (i.e. copyright has expired) or because of a lack of formalities as stated in items 1 and 2 of that license, and there needs to be some way of verifying items 3 and 4 or that the artist has otherwise given their consent. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:30, 20 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The 1989 mural is a bit trickier to assess because it's not clear it was completed (i.e. installed) before March 1, 1989, per en:Trains (mural).

    What form of publication are you looking for, if you imagine up that painting in a public place is not publication? Keeps on moving the goalposts... ɱ (talk) 17:02, 22 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    The goal posts were moved by en:Copyright Act of 1976 which changed (clarified) the meaning for the term "published" with respect to US copyright law as explained here. The US Copyright Office's current definition of "publication" can be found here and Sections 1902 and 1908 state "a public display or public performance does not constitute publication". -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:30, 22 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    That's relatively contradictory with itself, where it states "A statutory copyright owned by the artist is created as soon as the work is made." So, the Union Station mural should be copyright 1987. ɱ (talk) 15:29, 23 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    It also says a notice is required " to keep the work out of the public domain after “publication.”". So if there is no notice or registration or anything for Union Station it is in the Public Domain. ɱ (talk) 15:30, 23 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    And if we use the Section 1902 definition of publication, it happens on first sale of the work. Which is beneficial for this case, as the work was sold before creation: it was commissioned for the space, and thus transferred from artist to first owner as it was made. ɱ (talk) 15:35, 23 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    According to this and this, the commissioning of a work of art doesn't automatically mean there's been a transfer of copyright from the artist to the commissioning party. That could depend upon whether a en:work for hire agreement was in place between the artist and the commissioning body. In addition, formalities seem to have only been required for works "published" between January 1, 1978, and February 28, 1989 (inclusive). A copyright notice wasn't necessarily required but registration within five years of first publication was needed in order for a cclaim of copyright ownership to be considered valid. So, if Ackers retained copyright ownership over the mural, then he would seem to need to have been the one to "publish" it (not the commissioning body). If, for example, he did make tangible copies of the mural available in some form prior to February 28, 1989, then that would seem to constitute publishing and require formal registration. If he never did such a thing or did so sometime on or after March 1, 1989, then his copyright ownership over the work still seem to remain in effect for 70 years en:post mortem auctoris per COM:HIRTLE. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:21, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Your deep dive into the nuances of this just muddles it further... Can't you search for registration or see if you can find a notice? You're giving a lot of hypotheses without a clear explanation. Abzeronow found no copyright registration, and the source you gave plainly states that these works must have registrations. Can we just leave it at that? You're seemingly fighting tooth-and-claw to provide as many obscure legal loopholes as possible to keep these images off the internet; do you have some sort of conflict of interest with relation to Ackers or this area? ɱ (talk) 01:33, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    The pages I referenced above state formalities are only required in the case of "publication". They also state that "publication" doesn't equate to "displaying the work in public". Abzernow's last comment in this discussion was I do suppose it would need to be clarified if Union Station was indeed published in 1987 according to the 1978 and afterwards definition of publication. That, at least in my opinion, is what still needs to be resolved. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:12, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Non-free content, derivative work, no FoP. Image contains copyrighted artworks by Jeffrey Gibson (THE TREES ARE WITNESSES and SPEAKING TO THE SKY AND KISSING THE GROUND, both 2022), photographed in the United States (no Freedom of Panorama). 19h00s (talk) 15:27, 22 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

ːThis is an image of the front door of the art center, and has a sign for Gibson's work inside. It was not a painted sign, this was a giant sticker. Is a sign for an art show is now copyright? PigeonChickenFish (talk) 21:02, 30 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yes. The large digital prints on the front of the museum are copyrighted artworks by Jeffrey Gibson - they aren't really signs at all. That they are "stickers" really means nothing. If you navigate to the linked exhibition page, the caption for the image of the front of the museum clearly identifies the two works -- THE TREES ARE WITNESSES and SPEAKING TO THE SKY AND KISSING THE GROUND (both 2022) -- as being published on ICASF's website "courtesy of the artist." These are digital illustrations/designs that clearly pass the creativity threshold for copyrightable works, and the artist clearly views them as copyrighted works of art. 19h00s (talk) 01:49, 31 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

To clarify THE TREES ARE WITNESSES and SPEAKING TO THE SKY AND KISSING THE GROUND (both 2022) are two installation works, displayed indoors. They do not resemble the sign. This image is not from the website. PigeonChickenFish (talk) 23:00, 2 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Again, you are not correct. Go to the linked website, click the first photograph in the image gallery. The caption for the image clearly labels the two graphic artworks on the outside of the ICA SF building as THE TREES ARE WITNESSES and SPEAKING TO THE SKY AND KISSING THE GROUND (both 2022). They are not "signs," they are copyrighted artworks that have been installed on the outside of the museum. I am not saying you took this image from the website - I am saying we cannot keep this image on Commons because it contains copyrighted art. 19h00s (talk) 21:37, 3 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Keep per COM:AGF on the uploader's statement. The other photos from the Flickr account were clearly taken by the same photographer as the current one, and they do not appear anywhere else on the Internet. A new Flickr account is no more suspicious than a new Commons account, and I think these are the kind of photos we would accept with a good-faith explanation since there is not much more the claimed author can do to prove their authorship. If this were the only image and smaller copies of it appeared previously on the Internet, I might ask to see the film negatives for evidence, but the existence of other photos from the same series that have not appeared online previously is sufficient for me in this case. -- King of ♥ 15:54, 23 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Should a personal design really be used on w:AFL Sydney and have a description page that would make it seem as it's an official icon of the club?

Personally, I do not see any issues with maintaining my file here. Nevertheless, I will not interfere with the site administrators' discretion regarding whether the aforementioned file should remain on this platform.

Furthermore, I personally uploaded it to the following URL: "https://www.ferias.tur.br/fotogr/60954/fotoaereadirecaoaocentrolimeirasppormoacirmagusteiro/limeira/." Given that it is an older file, I do not foresee any issues with its continued presence here.

Both were directed by Reinhold Schünzel who died in 1954, but I'm not sure if it's the release date or Schünzel's (or someone else's) death date that matters here. —Tcr25 (talk) 18:45, 23 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Tcr25: Thanks for the links. According to § 65 UrhG Abs. 2 the copyright of a film rests with the director, the authors of the script and the dialogs, and the composer of the music, if any. However, in case of a still we can focus on the director which is Reinhold Schünzel. Hence, this will be in the public domain in 2025. The file descriptions should be fixed accordingly. --AFBorchert (talk) 23:32, 23 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No, then the photographer would be unknown. {{PD-EU-anonymous}} requires research and this research needs to be documented.

  • It was not a screen capture of the film, we can see an embossed icon on the print. I am not-sure the uploader can distinguish that it is a still, rather than a publicity shot. Studios had photographers to capture publicity images, created during filming, to distribute to newspapers. They used photographers so that the original camera negatives were not disturbed. You said: "requires research and this research needs to be documented". I searched through 16 billion images with Tineye. --RAN (talk) 02:15, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Using Tineye does not replace real research. Firstly, for {{PD-EU-anonymous}} you need to provide proof of a publicstion more than 70 years ago, i.e. a bibliographic reference that can be verified. Secondly, you would have to check in these original publications whether the photographer was named or not. Then we can discuss {{PD-EU-anonymous}}. --AFBorchert (talk) 06:11, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Keep Generally we assume images found in the wild have left the custody of the photographer and have been "made public".

    What if these photographs were first published on the internet in recent years, lets say 2010? Then they will be protected until 2040. I think Commons:Project scope/Precautionary principle does not let us simply assume that they are in the public domain. HeminKurdistan (talk) 22:22, 4 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • The precautionary principle is that where there is significant doubt, the doubt you are applying is just fear, uncertainty and doubt, that can be cast on any image we house at Commons. We need something specific, perhaps a link to an archive that states that the images were never circulated in the wild, and have been stored as negatives since creation at the archive. We have that, for instance, with the Bain Collection. It was donated as glass negatives by the creator to an archive. --RAN (talk) 03:45, 5 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    @Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) By referring to en:Fear, uncertainty, and doubt, Are you suggesting that I am using a "manipulative propaganda tactic" (as it is described in the Wikipedia article)? The source for these files (http://farrokhfakhreddini.ir/) was accessible on the internet between 2018 and 2022. Reverse image search shows results for only two of them [14] [15] in 2014 and on the earliest time in 2012 (no results for the rest). This is the evidence of publication we have and that is not being circulated "in the wild" in my opinion. Photographs are not animals left stranded in the wild, the author/copyright owner is the one who decides to publish them or not. Iranian law recognizes publication date as the beginning for the 30-year copyright protection term of photographs. This is simple math, not using a propaganda tactic. If there is any evidence that these photographs were published more than 30 years ago (for example, in some book or media) I will be thrilled to know about it and immediately remove that file from the list above.

TinEye searched over 61.9 billion images. In the time that it took you to write, you could have run the same search. It is impossible to prove a negative, so we rely on due diligence. Instead of just presenting FUD, why don't you look for examples of the French publisher "Édition Petit" actually naming their photographers. That would convince me. We have at Commons over 10,000 postcards from the 1900s to 1940s, almost exclusively the publisher is named, if even that. --RAN (talk) 18:43, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I just used TinEye and at the search result page I could read there "0 matches TinEye searched over 61.9 billion images but didn't find any matches for your search image. That's probably because we have yet to crawl any pages where this image appears. ..." Then I looked here at page 11 and there it is. The same postcard that TinEye couldn't find because they still have to crawl there. The uploader stated at the file description "Archives personnelles - Achat." This person indicates to have bought that postcard and than you can easily check both sides of that postcard. Why do you think your guess is better the the research of the uploader? - Robotje (talk) 19:23, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • If only Tineye searched 61,900,000,001 billion images, that last image might have had the information we were looking for. Still no evidence presented that French postcards from the French publisher "Édition Petit" named their photographers. Commons:Project scope/Precautionary principle requires "significant doubt", not generalized hypotheticals. Édition Petit was run by Pierre Lanith Petit (1831-1909) and Auguste Petit (1849-1912), both were dead more than 70 years ago, if we assume they took all their own images they published as postcards. --RAN (talk) 19:42, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Wow, "61,900,000,001 billion images", more than 61 quintillion images, that would be impressive. OK, but now seriously. About the 10,000 plus postcards on Commons from 1900-1949, those include postcards like this one from 1937 where you can see the front and backside without a name of the author. Sure the {{PD-US-expired}} looks correct. Or take this 1938 postcard from Italy, there the {{PD-Italy}} template looks correct too because for photos of a streetview with many buildings the copyright there expires usually 20 years after creation. Or take this postcard from 1910 of a street in Tehran. There the {{PD-IRAN}} template seems to be correctly applied. In Iran copyright of photos sometimes expire after 30 years. Or take this postcard from France. The {{PD-old-assumed}} looks correctly applied for it is more than 120 years old. Or take these two files of the same postcard. The photographer is known and died in 1939. In that case the {{PD-old-70}} looks convincing. So yes, there are many reasons postcards from 1900-1949 can be uploaded on Commons. Of course those should stay. No doubt there are also amongst those 10,000+ that should not have been uploaded because the copyright did not expire yet. For example in case the copyright would end 70 years p.m.a. and the author is mentioned on the postcard but died only 32 years ago. Mentioning 10,000+ postcards on Commons from that period as an excuse to change the burden of proof to the person who nominates a specific file of a postcard doesn't seem correct to me. Just handle a nomination for deletion based on that specific situation without claiming many other similar files are not nominated for deletion. If I get a speeding ticket from the police, I could say that most likely at the same time tens of thousands of drivers are also speeding and by far most none of them get a ticket. That won't convince the officer to not give me that speeding ticket. If you claim as a fact the name of the author was not disclosed in a specific case, please try hard to prove that. Quite often you make such a claim when a file is nominated for deletion. Here you did that even for a whole bunch of postcards (... All are "PD-EU-no author disclosure", ...) event hough for most of them the publisher was not even clear. Especially in those cases such a claim seems to me to be a false claim. - Robotje (talk) 09:09, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • @JuliusMassius: The photo credit in the left corner reads Marclery?, or something similar, who do you think the author is? --RAN (talk) 00:44, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Hello, I think so, I hadn't paid attention. I had settled on Maugein Frères as the author. JuliusMassius (talk) 11:32, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    The photo dates from 1950, I think the photographer is very lucky to have died after 1952. JuliusMassius (talk) 11:34, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

this map is depicting 1805, with research being done by Tim Piltron extensively. To claim that this is a fake history map, I would think that you would be mistaken. Nicolaus Alden Ashvashchandr (talk) 15:33, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Where did you get the attribution from, you have made attributions easily proven false in your other nominations. You need to present your evidence. --RAN (talk) 04:58, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Delete - The logo on that postcard was, according to this source, in use from 1935 to 1968 by that publisher. At the footnote & references section of fr:Jean Combier you can find more sources about Jean Combier; a French photographer and publisher who was living from 1891 to 1968. So on January 1st 2039 the copyright on his photos will expire. Looks like until then the postcard should not be visible on Commons. - Robotje (talk) 13:42, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Keep That is not how copyright law works! The copyrights for images belong to the photographer, and not the publisher, unless we have a contract where a photographer has assigned their rights to the publisher. All images published by his company are marked with the publisher's logo and not the logo of an individual attributable photographer. While Combier was a photographer, as well as a publisher, he was not a sole-practitioner. He had photographers on staff, and bought out other publishers and republished their catalogues. Wikipedia states: "Jean-Marie Combier bought the following photographic collections during his career: CLB (C. Lardier in Besançon) in the 1920s, René Prouho, photographer in Hussein-Dey (Algeria) in 1930". So we cannot attribute any single image to him, unless a reliable third party makes the attribution. They are, by the legal definition, "anonymous". We have the same with the Bain Collection we host, Bain was a photographer and ran a photographic news agency that employed other photographers, none of the images can be attributed directly to Bain himself. The decision to house CIM Images at Commons on that premise was made long ago: Category:Postcards published by CIM, all marked "anonymous" and none attributed directly to him, 246 images in total. I am not sure why you are arguing that this particular one is under an active copyright, while the 245 others, are in the public domain. --RAN (talk) 23:51, 28 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
