Reason For Deletion: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Venera10surface.gif

In the time since this image was deleted, a new understanding that autonomous Soviet space probe imagery is exempt from copyright was reached for similar images (see Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Luna_3_moon.jpg). This appears to have been reinforced by a ruling by the Russian Supreme Court, as described in Template:PD-RU-exempt-autocam. I request File:Venera10surface.gif be undeleted in light of this more recent understanding of the circumstances. --Subsider34 (talk) 06:27, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

BJP election symbol

Regarding Commons:Deletion requests/File:BJP Election Symbol.png I would like to note that the BJP symbol that was deleted can be seen as a derivative of File:India National Level Parties symbols.JPG which comes with a free licence. So I'm requesting the undeletion of

The design is arguably creative enough for copyright but there is a free licence available. @Taivo: Since you were the deleting admin, I'm leaving you a note here. De728631 (talk) 14:59, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Does Government of India really have right to publish logos of political parties under free license? I thought, that only party itself has the right. Taivo (talk) 18:41, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
Those logos were actually not created by the parties themselves. Per List of political parties in India, "all registered parties contesting elections need to choose a symbol from a list of available symbols offered by the [Election Commission]." The election commission in turn is an independent constitutional authority of India. It is therefore reasonable to assume that a government publication offering the logos under a free licence can be trusted. De728631 (talk) 21:21, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Reason: Deleted via Commons:Deletion requests/File:CALAMBA City.jpg, as uploaded by CHrizYOu. However, a search through Commons and enwiki logs reveals this file was actually from Eternal dragon on enwiki, and CHrizYOu may have transferred this file from enwiki. The user upload log of Eternal dragon on enwiki lists the entry: {{Information |Description=Jose Rizal's house in Calamba City |Source=own work |Date=January 2009 |Author=|other_versions= }}. Perhaps this was collaterally deleted due to that DR, deleted without studying if this was an original upload of CHrizYOu or was just only a transfer from enwiki.

Hello. I want to request the undeletion of this file since User:廣九直通車 had mistakenly opined that the {{PD-Malaysia}} only for government works which have become public domain after 50 years from publication. If he reads the license under the Section 3, it has been clearly stated Regardless of the above, the texts of laws, judicial opinions, and government reports are always free from copyright. This works as a text clearly falls under the "judicial opinions" where it remain under public domain unless there is a change on the Malaysian laws.  Ṉight Ḻantern 🏮 04:05, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

@Night Lantern: My fault for not noticing there's an exception for Malaysian government copyright, but I'm not sure whether the term "pendapat kehakiman" in Malaysian (in item 4 of {{PD-Malaysia/ms}}) covers texts that are not judicial documents (eg. judgments, court orders, etc.). Probably better to ask a Malaysian-speaking user to verify for the terminology.廣九直通車 (talk) 04:48, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
Also note that Malaysian is the sole official language of Malaysia.廣九直通車 (talk) 04:49, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 Support Ah, so I asked for opinions from Malaysian-speaking user (maybe useful), and searched for the Malaysian Copyright Act. It did explicitly exclude government works from the protection of copyright (based on ss. 3(literary works), 7(1)(a)). I apologize again for my rash decision of nominating the file for deletion.廣九直通車 (talk) 11:27, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Per the Copyright Act 1987, Art 3. "“literary work” includes— [...] (e) letters, reports and memoranda;", Art 7. (1) "Subject to this section, the following works shall be eligible for copyright: [...] (a) literary works;", Art 11. (1) "Copyright shall subsist in every work which is eligible for copyright and which is made by or under the direction or control of the Government and such Government organizations or international bodies as the Minister may by order prescribe.". The letter is protected under the law. Pinging @廣九直通車, Night Lantern --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 13:10, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
    •  Question@Nat: But the same provision defining "literary work" also stated ... does not include official texts of the Government or statutory bodies of a legislative or regulatory nature, or judicial decisions, ..., and the official translation thereof;. The file is an official letter of reply written by Malaysian Attorney-General with respect to the issue of releasing the suspect of the assassination of Kim Jong-nam. Do you think the file is covered in that exception?廣九直通車 (talk) 13:20, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
    • Perhaps Clindberg would be interested to chime in, as Carl does have a good grasp of what constitutes official text. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 15:00, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
      • I can't see the file, but... normally those exceptions are for works with legal impact -- the text of laws, or judicial opinions, decrees that people are supposed to follow, treaties, that sort of thing. The "government reports" is a step further than similar clauses in other laws, but you would think that would be for formal, published reports from a committee or other group. They clearly do claim copyright in many government works, so the exception is not for all works, and there is a dividing line somewhere. I really wouldn't know how generously, or strictly, they would interpret "government reports" though. A letter would not be in line with laws or judicial opinions, although it sounds like this is official communication between governments. It would not have direct legal effect, but is not your normal type of work either. I don't have a good feel whether it would qualify as a "report" or not. Carl Lindberg (talk) 02:31, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
      • @Clindberg: The letter is more a less a FYI of sorts of the AG's decision, the steps the AG's office is prepared to take, and the likely outcome of their decision. @廣九直通車: Barring a change in opinion, I am reaffirming my position to oppose undeletion per Carl's input. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 02:54, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
        • I'd have to agree that calling that a "report" feels like a large stretch. On the other hand, that is nearly a form letter. I have little idea about the threshold of originality there though. Carl Lindberg (talk) 03:03, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
          • Thanks for Carl Lindberg's information. I thought that the letter describing official view on a criminal case may fall under the scope of "official text that have administrative purposes".廣九直通車 (talk) 08:15, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Museum of Prilep images

About 35 images that i uploaded in 2020, have been deleted due to not getting a initial mailed permission by the author (in this case was the Museum of Prilep). After getting the notice of possible deletion, i have contacted with the representative of the Museum and then he sent a mail declaring the permission of handing over the images to public domain at permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. Can someone explain me whether the statement of the representative of the Museum was rejected of any kind of nature, or it was not reviewed in time, or it was because of something else?

Hi, no need to insult users (even non-existing ones). The photo was used at nuovasocieta.it before it was uploaded here. In such cases we need some kind of proof that it actually was published with a free license. This can be an earlier publication with such a license (e.g. on flickr or your own web site) or confirmation by the copyright holder to COM:OTRS. Please bear in mind that the copyright holder usually is the photographer, not the photographed person. --rimshottalk 17:01, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - 1) Previously published images require COM:OTRS evidence of permission and 2) copyright initially vests in the author (photographer), not the mere subject. As uploader/requestor (Mark Bernardini) purports to be the subject (Mark Bernardini), evidence of permission would need to come directly from the actual author or be in the form of a copy of the document that transferred copyright from the author to the subject. The copyright issue is moot, however, as this is a COM:NOTHOST/self-promotion issue; indeed, the article for which the image was intended, it:Mark Bernardini, was deleted as such.

Files uploaded by Emmagch

I'm resurfacing this previous undeletion request by @Emmagch:

Please restore the following pages:

Reason to undelete all of these files: I just need to add the permission to show that these were uploaded under a license that permits the free use of the images in the infographics.

What I would put for each permission would be the following: "This infographics was created through the website Canva and incorporates stock images provided by Canva under their Free Media License Agreement"

I disagree with the previous deletion reason stated. The Canva license states that media "can be used for free for commercial and noncommercial use", which is what is being done in these file. What is banned is sharing the unaltered stock media images, which is not being done here (the license states "Don’t sell unaltered copies of a photo, music or video file" and "Don’t redistribute or sell the stock media on other stock media platforms"). Please check the full policy text for clarification of the quotes from the plain English summary policy as to what is considered "unaltered" and "stock media" in this context.

  • Also, concerning the last file, copyright doubts were raised in OTRS. And they remain unresponded. This may apply also to other files.

Reason: While this was speedily deleted as claimed to have "sourced from Facebook", I can still remember (way back mid-2017) that this contained adequate metadata (timestamp etc) indicating that this was uploader's original photo, and not directly taken from Facebook, which should have been true if it bore FBMD metadata. But I can still remember, this file has all the camera metadata. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 03:00, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

I am constructing the wiki page "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Pheanixx/Amanda_Darling_(The_Time_Traveling_DJ)" on behalf of DJ Amanda Darling with her consent because she does not have time to attend to this project and she is not comfortable writing about herself.

She also does not have a Wiki account, so her business manager will also be adding content on her behalf although I doubt he will upload images. He (and when she, Amanda, reviews the draft as it nears completion) will tell me what other images she wants to include and where on the page.

As such, all pictures and images used by me belong to her and I have her imprimatur to use them on her Wiki page.

  • @Titan1432: As a purely technical matter, we cannot verify, confirm, or assess your assertions here. There are two options to help facilitate undeletion:

    (1) The copyright holder of the derivative work (i.e. the photographer) and the copyright holder of the works depicted (i.e. the artist of the work in the background) must send permission and a specific release under a accepted free licence for the photo using the OTRS process. Please note that OTRS is unable accept forwarded or proxy permissions for legal reasons. Once OTRS has determined to have received sufficient permission and there is no other rationale for deletion, an OTRS agent will perform or request undeletion.

    (2) If you are the webmaster of the website, you can place a notice on the page stating the image is under an accepted free licence. For example:
    "The photo of Nella Genkina by [your name] is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
    This can be accomplished with the following code if the site uses HTML:
    <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-sa/4.0/88x31.png" /></a><br />The photo of Nella Genkina by [your name] is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License</a>.

Reason: was deleted because of "no FOP in Greece" (Commons:Deletion requests/File:US Embassy Athens.jpg). However, this is an embassy of the United States, and the building is governed by laws of the country it serves/represents. Hence {{FoP-US}} applies.

  • It is not so clear: the photo was made from outside of the US Embassy. Ankry (talk) 09:31, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
    • @Ankry: Panmunjeom case might apply here. For example, photographs of NoKor buildings and sculptures taken from SoKor soil but those structures are physically within the jurisdiction of NoKor. Embassies lie within the jurisdiction of the countries where they serve or represent, and this Panmunjeom case is applicable. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 09:58, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
      • OK. The cases are, indeed, similar. Ankry (talk) 11:19, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
  • @JWilz12345 and Ankry: The physical premises of a diplomatic or consular mission do not exist in a status of extraterritoriality -- and the land on which the mission sit is still the sovereign territory of the host state. Under the 1961 Vienna Convention and the 1963 Vienna Convention, the premises, persons, documents, etc. of a mission is inviolable, but both conventions do not grant extraterritorial status to the mission. Local laws still apply but they just cannot be enforced on diplomatic missions (the premises, the people, the documents, etc.) and in most cases on consular missions. Unless there is a specific agreement between the two states, Greek copyright law, therefore, applies to the Chancery of the U.S. Embassy in Athens. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 14:56, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

We spoke on the phone a month ago when I made the Website for Keith Francis. I was wondering if you could send me a letter of permission to use the two photos in the Wikipedia listing for him?

I would be grateful if you could send your standard permission letter so I can forward it to the editors... Happy to discuss if you need anything from me. My contact information is below.

Here is the Wikipedia entry for Keith: Keith Francis (runner) - Wikipedia

Simple voice files. The first is Eduard doing his own Voice intro, and the second one is him impersonating a character on his studio. Both files are simple voice and do not need any OTRS because there is no copyright on what he is saying, as there is no script. They were mistakenly deleted because the files were uploaded alongside other files that needed of a OTRS, but it's not the case for those here.--TaronjaSatsuma (talk) 08:32, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Unfortunately OISV's statement "Jde o moji původní papírovou fotografii z roku 1985, kterou jsem nyní naskenoval.

The logo is NOT listed under copyright law and I designed it based on the defunct version of the university logo (which was printed on a book cover published by Pahlavi University in the late 1960s) as means of fair use.

The logo DOES NOT exist like this anywhere on the internet. Neither is used by the university.

If it needs additional information, I'll be more than happy to add those needed, and please help me with it. But I don't think that it is problematic AT ALL.

Before this same thing happened with the university's official logo. All of the universities in the World do use logos and upload them here as means of fair use. So please be kind enough to undelete it.

  • @Amirisgosh: What do you mean by not listed? Copyright law generally does not require listing a work to be copyrighted. However, if the logo was published anonymously in 1960s we will have a problem to determine its copyright status as COM:Iran says nothing about anonymous works. @4nn1l2: Can you help us here? Ankry (talk) 09:44, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: @Amirisgosh: Copyright under Iranian law has a duration of the life of the author/creator of the original work + 50 years after their death. Furthermore, the threshold of originality in Iran is fairly low, and as such relatively simple works are afforded protections under the law. Per policy, the onus is on you to provide evidence that the work is in the public domain. No evidence of such was on offer in this request. To determine if the work is in the public domain, we would need to know who is the author/creator of the work in question and, if deceased, what year did the author die. Otherwise, the file will need to remain deleted per Commons' precautionary principle as there is significant doubt as to the freedom of the work. Regarding your arguments concerning fair use: fair use is not permitted on Commons and non-free works, regardless of whether or not they were uploaded under a fair use rationale, is subject to immediate deletion.

File:2-P40A0588.jpg, B. M. Ruia Girls' College, Mumbai?

Dear Undeleters,

The above image File:2-P40A0588.jpg was deleted because it lacked description etcetera. Now it appears that the uploader User:Bmrgirls also uploaded other images which i could identify and categorise in Category:B. M. Ruia Girls' College, Mumbai. The name "Bmrgirls" suggests that the uploaders were students at B. M. Ruia Girls' College, affiliated to S.N.D.T. Women's University, Mumbai. The deleted image probably can be identified and might be useful like the other two, of an Indian Independence Day celebration and a school debating contest in Mumbai. So please undelete. NB. This image was previously undeleted, but deleted again last February in a few days. I was not aware of that, i was not pinged. So please let's have a look at this image. We should not delete unduly. Thank you, Hansmuller (talk) 07:53, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

  •  Oppose @Hansmuller: As previously stated, lacking a description is not the only rationale for deletion. Furthermore, it was uploaded here on 4 November 2019 -- 2 months after it appeared on YouTube (1:09) first (Work was published on that platform on 16 September 2019) with no mention of an accepted free licence. Works previously published elsewhere requires that the copyright holder send permission and a specific release under an accepted free licence using the OTRS process. Thank you for your understanding. Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 08:18, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
@Nat OK, thanks but there should be the assumption of innocence. This image i didn't see might be - and probably is? - by the same authors as the video, but then they should formally give free permission for their video indeed. Or... the image is bona fide of the same occasion, NOT from the video, and therefore necessarily similar... Then the image is legal and should not be deleted! Have a good day!, Hansmuller (talk) 08:43, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
  • What do you mean by "innocence"? Nobody is declared "guilty". The image publication just violates some commons policies: (license evidence needs to be provided by uploader for previously published images, COM:PCP for plaque, COM:SCOPE as it is useless without proper categorization / description /filename). If theese can be fixed, the image may be undeleted. But this needs cooperation from the uploader. Ankry (talk) 09:33, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
  • ... However, I would  Support reopenning the deletion discussion if you (@Hansmuller: ) find it apropriate. Ankry (talk) 12:37, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
  • @Ankry: I am of the opinion that reopening a DR at this time is very much out-of-process. It is clear that the image was previously published elsewhere. The onus will be on the party seeking restoration to

    (1) request that the copyright holder contact OTRS or to change the licensing on YouTube, and

    (2) provide a compelling argument as to why the rationales in the DR are incorrect.

    Permission via OTRS or relicensing on YouTube is paramount to any possibility of undeletiom, even temporary. Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 13:14, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

(Above per original listing.) The images are derived from the document. The issues of the bulletin relevant here were published in the United States between 1975 and 1978, inclusive, without a notice. The document would thus fall under the domain of both PD-US-no-notice and PD-US-1978-89. For copyright to exist under the former, there must have been a immediate registration. For copyright to exist under the latter, there must have been registration within five years of publication. There was neither immediate nor subsequent registration, as appropriate. Thus, the work is in the public domain. I raised this point during the deletion discussion, but it was ignored in the decision. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 01:17, 8 March 2021 (UTC).

 Info I have checked the PDF and found no copyright notice there. @Gbawden and ShakespeareFan00: could you comment, please, whether you have any objection to undelete these as {{PD-US-no-notice}} / {{PD-US-1978-89}} does not apply to a 1976 publication, IMO. And the original copyright templates in these files are indeed invalid. Ankry (talk) 01:59, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Ankry: The images are from 1976, I believe (although I am not positive). The document covers issues from 1975–1978, as I have stated; thus the additional copyright notice reference. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 02:46, 8 March 2021 (UTC).

This flag was deleted as being fictitious, but looking at old logos of the Cochinchinese Republican Guard and this Wikipedia article (#Historical flags, can't anchor ⚓ on mobile lately for some reason) lists it as an alternative design of the flag of the Autonomous Republic of Cochinchina. In fact, quite a number of flags by the original uploader were deleted as fictional (most in fact are fictitious), but it might have been better to tag them as fictitious flags in case they do have historical value (like this one) than to outright delete them, as they still have educational value as (common) misconceptions. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 08:34, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

While talking to an employee who works at this talent management company, the team themselves have no idea as to who clicked this photograph. They searched a lot regarding the original photographer but finally, they have settled down to keeping it in the company's name to avoid any confusion. So, please guide me on how to mention the proper credits so that it isn't deleted in the future. I added their website's link and probably that's why it was deleted. If there is any specific & proper way to mention the credits then please guide me.

Thank you. --Tarun Paul Kachhap I (talk) 03:47, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

@Tarun Paul Kachhap I: Photos by unknown photographers are copyrighted in US 120 years since creation or 95 years since initial publication. So unless you provide an evidence that it is PD for another reason of freely licensed by the actual copyright holder (copyright transfer evidence is needed if the copyright holder is not the photographer), we need to wait until one of the terms expires. Note: per policy, it is up to the uploader to provide an evidence of the declared copyright status. Ankry (talk) 22:17, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

@Chocolate.social: We need an evidence for your claim that you are the original logo author who should be attributed by everybody using the logo.

  • @Filipamr: 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). Please note that in some jurisdictions, the law may not permit transfers or assignment of rights.  Question Who is the photographer of the original image? --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 23:34, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

This file was tagged by a user for speedy deletion, this user tagged a lot of obvious public domain files for (speedy) deletion because they simply do not understand how copyright on many of the images they tagged works. For example a book published during the late 19th (nineteenth) century uploaded by me was tagged for speedy deletion, no template was left on my talk page and I discovered it by accident. Their rationale at the time was that "it came from a website" despite the author having died over a century ago. Anyhow, I discovered this specific file missing when I was browsing the English-language Wikipedia and noticed that it was gone from the article, naturally I assumed vandalism, but alas it was the same user tagging this image as was done with many other old Vietnamese images in the public domain now deleted from Wikimedia Commons, which is why I would also like to ask a reviewing admin to check for any other files deleted thanks to this user.

This file CAN LITERALLY NOT BE COPYRIGHTED © in Vietnam, in fact files half a century newer than this are typically in the public domain if they are anonymous (like this one is). This file is 100% (one-hundred percent) eligible for "{{PD-Vietnam}}", unfortunately Túrelio didn't tag this image as such and it was still deleted. If it gets restored then I will add the proper copyright license to it. The problem is that many public domain files on Wikimedia Commons are simply tagged with wrong licenses, but this file is simply impossible under Vietnamese law to be copyrighted, in fact of one of the children in this picture many photographs of him as an adult exist on Wikimedia Commons. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 19:39, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

@Donald Trung: The nomination was not totally wrong as the uploader claimed to be the author who has to be attributed by reusers. It is up to the uploader to provide correct authorship / copyright info (or up to anyone else who knows how to fix it - if they wish this image to remain in Commons even if the uploader does not care)
The information of this file states:
== {{int:filedesc}} ==
{{Information

  • @Ankry: , this blog (and also this blog) notes that the source of the image is this provincial government. It is likely an unpublished work which under 2009 Vietnamese copyright laws would be "For cinematographic works, photographic works and works of applied art which remain unpublished within 25 years from the date of fixation, the term of protection is 100 years from the date of fixation.", but I can't find anything about unpublished works in any prior copyright laws. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 22:53, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
    • @Donald Trung: If this is anonymous 1905 work, remaining unpublished till 2003, then per COM:Hirtle chart it should belong to Category:Undelete in 2026 (120 years since creation). Ankry (talk) 05:37, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
      • @Ankry: , I have done some further research and haven't been able to find anything about it, the 2009 law mentions unpublished works but can't find much about the previous copyright law. Though this page in English mentions that the previous copyright laws were a lot less strict and I know that retroactivity only applies to works not in the public domain 50 (fifty) years before 2010 (two-thousand-and-ten). The problem with Vietnamese works is that most are entirely offline with no trace of an online presence so it's not possible for me in my current location to find if the file was previously archived. I will contact the provincial government for answers, but if you believe that the old copyright law linked above is still too restrictive then you can close this undeletion request as unsuccessful. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 08:27, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
        • I agree that the image may be PD in Vietnam, but my previous comment was about US copyright which relies on publication date. And for images published after 1989 the country of origin and local copyright status are irrelevant (while it is one of Berne convention countries). Ankry (talk) 08:37, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
          • @Ankry: I can't find much information about its publication prior to being online, so I don't think that I can make a case for this work to not be copyright © protected based on publication. You can close this request, I will try to find more information on it, but will only (re-)open another undeletion request for this file once I have find clear and direct evidence of prior publication(s). As this seems to be a private family photograph I think that it's highly unlikely, despite the prominence of basically every male person in the picture. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 08:47, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

@48Pills But the premise is that this is your work. (`・ω・´) (talk) 11:57, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
I never claimed it was my work, and the above doesn't specify any such restrictions. 48Pills (talk) 03:39, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

I am still uncertain why it was deleted given the clarity of the terms as I read them. 48Pills (talk) 06:18, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

@48Pills: This is not CC-BY-SA 4.0 license as you claimed. Note: the highlighted license is required to be granted to Lucy Media and other users of their service only, not to anybody in the world. Ankry (talk) 06:26, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Well, I do not know? But such limitation may be considered unacceptable per COM:L. You need to discuss in COM:VPC whether a separate license template may be created for this particular license. I see no appropriate license template among existing ones. And without an acceptable license we cannot undelete the image. Ankry (talk) 10:09, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - 1) We require licenses to be explicitly perpetual/irrevocable. I see no related reference in the cited terms; and 2) this is almost certainly license laundering. The image is clearly professionally staged/posed/shot and that a professional photographer of a notable singer would upload their work to "www.whosdatedwho.com" is the definition of a COM:PRP issue.

Picture is owned by Estefanía and used all websites (including facebook) and journals — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ludokoenders (talk • contribs) 08:43, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

@Ludokoenders: And does any of these sites claim that Wikimedia user Ludokoenders is the photo author and copyright holder?
Otherwise, we cannot accept the license you declared as {{Own}} and you need to provide an evidence that the CC-BY-SA 4.0 license has been granted by the actual photo copyright holder. Either basing on public records, or the copyright holder needs to follow COM:OTRS procedure. This especially applies to images that were already published elsewhere.

This is a photo of a community art work that itself is a depiction of a 1915 photograph, now in the public domain, of Harry Swede Dahlberg. Details on the origin of the mosaic, as a depiction of a public domain image is described in this news story. https://mtstandard.com/news/local/sports-figures-remembered-in-mosaics/article_da547985-d357-577e-8157-7ed3cedb6af6.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobdahlberg (talk • contribs) 23:12, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

@Bobdahlberg: :
  1. Why the 1915 photo is PD? When and where the photo was initially published? 1915+120+1=2036 > 2021 (copyright expiration date for unpublished anonymous US photos)
  2. You, Bobdahlberg, declared to be the author and exclusive copyright holder; are you the community? Operating an account by multiple people is against ToU.
  3. If this is cooperative work, we need a free license permission from ALL authors. Or from the actual copyright holder whom they transferred copyright to (in written form; an evidence needed).

(Above per original listing.) The first work was published in 1961, with a notice. It was not renewed, and is thus in the public domain. (The only registration relevant to that work is of an index published in a later edition.) The second work was published in 1954, with a notice. It was not renewed, and is thus in the public domain.

Hello! A bunch of images uploaded by User:Soinuenea from their collection has been deleted WITHOUT notifying the uploader, claiming that the OTRS wasn't sent (it was sent).

Submitting this Non-free use rationale:

{{Non-free use rationale
|Description = Cover art of To Eliminate the Opiate, Vol. 2 (2002), copyright holder is presumably that of the book namely David Perkins however may be the artists Sylvia Antelman
|Source = Derived from a digital capture (photo/scan) of the book cover (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the publisher or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.
|Article = Marvin_Stuart_Antelman
| Portion = Book cover only, a small portion of the commercial product.
| Low resolution = Yes
| Purpose = The image serves as the primary means of visual identification of the subject (the book). It illustrates educational articles about the book from which the cover illustration was taken.
| Replaceability = There is no free equivalent of this book cover, so the image cannot be replaced by a free image.
| Other information = The use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, being a noticeably imperfect scan, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the book.

Reason: While Italy has no FOP, the Jubilee Church of Rome is among the cultural objects in Italy (see Blackcat's input at Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Chiesa di Dio Padre Misericordioso), hence part of the "Cultural Heritage of Italy" (http://www.beniculturali.it/mibac/export/MiBAC/sito-MiBAC/Contenuti/Eventi/GrandiEventi/visualizza_asset.html_1945641628.html). The subject also participated in the 2014 Italian leg of the Wiki Loves Monuments. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 02:31, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Perhaps {{Italy-MiBAC-disclaimer}} applies. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 13:49, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
Maybe. And the architect copyright also applies. This is a 2003 construction. Ankry (talk) 21:43, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
How about the claim by Blackcat on that DR that it falls under the Italian Cultural Heritage and hence images of it can be hosted here? JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 08:51, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
The file was proposed for deletion by a problem user who was undefinitely banned from it.wiki and since then targeted anything related to Italy on commons. That photograph was authorized by MiBac (which is an Italian ministry) so I don't know why it was deleted . -- Blackcat (write me here) 08:59, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
@JWilz12345: According to the template you mention, Italian Code of Cultural Heritage and Landscape is a regulation unrelated to Copyright. Which copyright law exception applies here? Ankry (talk) 09:52, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
@Blackcat: Do you suggest that MiBac own copyright to this building architecture (transferred to the by operation of law or in a contract)? If so, which license, where granted and what is the legal basis of their copyright? Otherwise, their permission is irrelevant to copyright. If I grant you the right to upload photos of everything from Netherland, will it become valid just because I am an admin of Commons? Ankry (talk) 09:52, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
@Ankry: I'm torn to explain that, I've explained it for the last 15 years here on Commons and invariably the answer is "yes but the architect's right?". In our country the jurisprudence favour the owner of an architectural work over its creator. -- Blackcat (write me here) 10:00, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
The ground of it is: if I own a villa created by a so called "archistar", If I couldn't freely photograph it and do what I want of the photos I would be limited in my use of the villa. Hence the general prevalence of the owner's rights over the creator. Of course this doesn't apply to stock works like records, books and so on.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Blackcat (talk • contribs) 18:02, 4 March 2021 (UTC+08:00)
Until this is an accepted policy, described in COM:Italy basing on legal acts or legal cases this will not be obvious to anybody. Per general, property ownership and the right related to ownership are unrelated to copyright and regulated by separate law. Ankry (talk) 10:40, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
@Ankry: admittedly there is none at COM:FOP Italy. I don't know if this statement of yours may also affect all files at Category:Chiesa di Dio Padre Misericordioso, as these were only permitted via MiBAC/{{Soprintendenza}} and the common notion that images taken during WLM have proper permissions from the architects/sculptors or their heirs (which seems not to be the case according to Vriullop at Commons talk:Wiki Loves Monuments 2012#Freedom of panorama). However, I wouldn't want to nominate all those beautiful images of the Jubilee Church. These are too beautiful to be deleted (I admit). I leave that decision to other people. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 10:15, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
Well, I also prefer to leave this case to somebody more familiar with Italian copyright law. Ankry (talk) 10:34, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Copyright status of a work is still paramount on Commons. Regulations unrelated to copyright law (such as the one described at {{Italy-MiBAC-disclaimer}}) and exemptions to that regulation are secondary, and, in certain cases, irrelevant. While the Italian government is able to grant or deny authorisation to reproduce the tangible physical embodiment of the work that they own, manage or control, the work itself (i.e. the intangible intellectual property), along with the associated economic and moral rights, belongs to its author, unless, in the case of economic rights (i.e. copyright), transferred by operation of law or by written and signed conveyance. Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Chiesa di Dio Padre Misericordioso was, therefore, incorrectly closed as it did not consider restrictions imposed by copyright law. The only way that {{Italy-MiBAC-disclaimer}} can apply is if (1) the work is in public domain under Italian law, (2) but reproduction of such works is generally restricted by non-copyright regulations. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 16:53, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 02:26, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
    • And I think the blocking issue raised by Blackcat here is irrelevant. In our case, both Judgefloro and Ramon FVelasquez were indef'ed blocked on enwiki due to suspected sockpuppetry, but are welcomed here. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 02:36, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

This work was published in the U.S. in 1968, without a copyright notice; thus, it is in the public domain by virtue of PD-US-no notice. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 20:42, 10 March 2021 (UTC).

The author is: THOMAS JOYCE REGAN, JR. BS, United States Naval Academy
 Question @ShakespeareFan00: Could you, please, elaborate (1) why in your opinion {{PD-USGov}} does not apply here despite clear NPS note, and (2) why do you suggest the 1964 date to be critical for {{PD-US-no notice}}? Ankry (talk) 22:05, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
A PD US Gov notice would apply to works created as part of "official" duties. My recollection It wasn't clear from the original upload IIRC, whether this was a 'sponsered' student, undertaking those studies as part of 'official' duties.

The NPS library would I think hold papers that were produced at other institutions. An NPS thesis, by servering personnel would more clearly be PD-US Gov. This however was an M.I.T thesis.

All work after 1964 would have been renewed automatically, so the 1964 date in the original DR was additional to the lack of notice information.
This is a judgement call. The cover page is an explicit and specific PD release in 1968. The document itself was published in 1968. Though the author was US Navy and was probably under contract, the thesis itself was submitted to MIT. On balance as there is no claim of copyright, I would have gone for keep in the original DR presuming the PD release can be respected. Not especially wedded to the decision though. -- (talk) 22:29, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
@: This is suggested to be no notice, not not renewed. Publications without copyright notice are ineligible for copyright renewal. Ankry (talk) 05:26, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
Sure, I mentioned nothing about renewal, just there is no evidence that the official explicit and specific PD release is false, there is not even an alternate copyright statement nor anything that could be interpreted as a claim. -- (talk) 09:37, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

The undeletion discussion in the following section is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive.

The participants in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Vince Cable.jpg for this image erred in their application of the rules around the UK's Open Government License. The correct approach to OGL images is the one adopted in these DRs: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Olympic mascots.jpg, Commons:Deletion requests/File:Canoe Slalom - Kynan Maley.jpg and Commons:Deletion requests/File:Bill McKenzie.jpg. All images which are released by central government are Crown Copyright, which automatically makes them OGL unless they fall into one of the established OGL exceptions. We have an OTRS ticket (mentioned in the "Olympic mascots" DR above) which confirms this from UK Government lawyers. Commons users frequently get this wrong, and there's plenty more of incorrectly deleted images that will need to be sorted out in the near future. UK Government departments published a great deal of images on Flickr which a CC BY-ND-NC license which people have mistakenly thought overrules the OGL license grant. It doesn't. Othertimes, Commons users have misunderstood a related but rarely-used license called NCOGL (non-commercial OGL) which exists for some very specific use cases involving material that has been exempted from the OGL—this is a red herring.

It is, alas, unfortunate that the Flickr page where the image was sourced from has been deleted. This is probably because the government department has been rebranded—something governments do occasionally—from the Department for Business, Industry and Skills (BIS) to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). They likely closed the Flickr account as it no longer fits in with their social media strategy, although an archive.org version is available, which clearly shows what nobody disputes and the only thing which matters, namely that the image was created and released by a department of the UK government under Crown Copyright which, for the reasons given in the other DRs, makes it OGL unless an exception applies. —Tom Morris (talk) 09:20, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose As shown on this archived page the Flickr account owner was asked for license change to CC-BY-SA but decided to change it to CC-BY-NC-SA. This constitutes significant doubt about commercial use of the photo (eg. this may mean that Flickr publisher was unsure about rights to the photo) and per COM:PCP we cannot host this image until the doubt is resolved. I think COM:OTRS permission that explicitly mentions this particular photo is the right way at the moment. We need especially clear declaration that third-party rights exception does not apply in this case. @Tom Morris: Do you know who the photographer is? Ankry (talk) 12:15, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
The comments on Flickr are a red herring: someone asked for a license change to BY-SA, but the Department changed the stated license on Flickr to BY-NC-SA. This is irrelevant given the point I have already made—the licensing in Flickr does not supersede the statement made in the description: “This image is available for re-use by media and bloggers ‘’’under Crown Copyright’’’”. Crown Copyright means the image is owned by the Department—either it was taken by a civil servant in the course of their employment, or it is a work-for-hire. If it is Crown Copyright, and it is a work by a central government department, it is ‘’automatically’’ and perpetually licensed under the OGL (again, see the reasoning in the ‘Olympic Mascots’ and ‘Kynan Maley’ DRs as linked above). When UK government departments publish images, e.g. on Flickr, on the government website, or on other social platforms, that are not under Crown Copyright they almost always acknowledge it as such in the description along with credit to the photographer. The government have released thousands of other images of politicians which we have on Commons that have followed the same path: they’ve been released under Crown Copyright and a civil servant has put them up with a license on Flickr with a NC or ND clause, which is irrelevant as they’re OGL because of the terms of the OGL/PSI Licensing Framework. —Tom Morris (talk) 16:28, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Can you convince us that this is not a case like this one? Ankry (talk) 18:53, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
In that case there's literally an explicit claim of ownership by a third party. There is no such claim in this case, merely a misunderstanding of OGL/PSI Licensing Framework. —Tom Morris (talk) 09:03, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
It appeared later, not in the initial publication. Initial publication was declared OGL. And before the copyright claim appeared, the image was removed from the publication without a comment. Per COM:PCP we need to assure that such claim will not appear. Image deletion and non-commercial license constitute significant doubts about the OGL license that require extra evidence. COM:OTRS is the right way in such cases. Ankry (talk) 11:27, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
  •  Support gov.uk (2012) shows this was published on the government website, live for a period of 2.5 years, with no specific claim of copyright against that photograph, as well as on the official Flickrstream above. The links on the bis.gov.uk page take you to the explanation (as published 2012) that "All content is available under the Open Government Licence, except where otherwise stated", clearly this photograph is OGL and should be undeleted. There are no valid COM:PRP concerns and the evidence is so clear that the burden of proof should be on those that may think a deletion rationale can be created. Note the gov.uk publication predates the Flickr publication, however, that is irrelevant, once released in an official government publication as OGL it stays OGL. Also worthy of note is that the gov.uk site directs you to this archive version at the NationalArchives -- (talk) 13:31, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

✓ Done: {{OGL}} is not revocable per OGL legal code. Licensing changes are irrelevent, and could be considered multi-licensing. There is no evidence of third-party claims. Furthermore, while those advocating for deletion, claim that the work may fall under a NC OGL, that evidence available does not support that position: The notice "© Crown copyright 2012" links to the copyright page which clearly leads to the Open Government Licence. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 03:15, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

  • @Ankry: This is not about a community decision, but the rationale that I provided in that DR, in which I clearly outline and explain how the files don't comply with the licensing/copyright tags used. The second point certainly applies here. Like the two derivative files, this file does not comply with the conditions set by {{PD-US-record}}: "Under Title II (Classics Protection and Access) of the Orrin G. Hatch–Bob Goodlatte Music Modernization Act, which was signed into law on October 11, 2018, sound recordings that were first fixed prior to February 15, 1972 are copyrighted in the United States as follows: [...] Recordings that were first published between 1923 and 1946 are copyrighted for a period of 100 years after first publication. ... the copyright terms given above for pre-1972 recordings apply regardless of whether a recording was published with a copyright notice, or whether a recording was registered with the US Copyright Office, or whether a recording's copyright was renewed" As such, if the date of 1945 as listed in the two derivatives is accurate or correct, the earliest this recording will enter into the public domain in the US is in 2046. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 16:46, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Additionally, all recordings published prior to 1972 are protected in the United States: The earliest they will enter into the public domain in 2022 (for pre-1923 recordings) and, at the latest, 2067. And as we've always clear noted here, US laws apply. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 17:05, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
    • Then I see no way that {{PD-EU-audio}} can be a usefull template. Unless this is FOP-like case when we can ignore US copyright. IMO, wider community discussion is needed.

As the permission to use these files was provided at the source website, they can now be restored — NickK (talk) 11:02, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

@NickK: Can you tell us who are the authors of the photos and how did they grant Александр Величенко, the author of the document linked above, the right to claim the images to be CC-BY-SA licensed? And which CC-BY-SA licnse (version) applies? I do not see the authors to be properly attributed as the license requires. I suspect this CC license declaration to be COM:LL. Ankry (talk) 22:55, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
@Ankry: Александр Величенко is the subject of the document, not the author of it. I think @Anna Rzhenova: can provide the exact information but my understanding is that the author is an employee of UDHTU (the university where Mr Velichenko works), and that UDHTU published this biography based on their own sources. They have put this license explicitly to allow to use the information from this PDF on Wikipedia following copyvio notifications both on Wikipedia and on Commons, thus this is rather a licensing of a previously non-free work under a CC license. I would assume CC-BY SA 3.0 as their intention was to copy Wikipedia's license — NickK (talk) 10:56, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
@NickK: He is mentioned as the author in the PDF metadata. CC-BY-SA licenses require to attribute the author of the work (photographer for a photo). Not attributing is copyright violation. We cannot host images without correct attribution, accepted by authors. If the copyright holder is not the author, we need an evidence of copyright transfer via COM:OTRS (eg. evidence of employment contract or evidence of copyright transfer contract or evidence of heritage). We cannot rely on declarations of people who eg. provided incorrect copyright info in the past due to being not aware of copyright requirements. Or an evidence that copyright expired. We cannot host images of unclear copyright status where nobody can claim copyright because nobody knows who the author is per COM:PCP. Ankry (talk) 11:09, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
@Ankry: I am pretty sure the university does not know how to manage metadata. Metadata in PDFs from anything state-owned in Ukraine is known to be generally useless. Anyway, this looks like an institution (university) genuinely willing to share information but not knowing how to do that correctly. I am not affiliated with this institution (Anna Rzhenova is) so I don't know what kind of documents they have, but my assumption was that this PDF was a work by UDHTU as an institution — NickK (talk) 11:17, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: @NickK: Unfortunate this request needs to be closed as not done as there remains questions related to authorship of the photos. While the document is most likely the work of the institution or one of its employees, information regarding who took the photos is still missing and therefore we cannot determine if the licence/permission provided is sufficient. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 01:38, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

These deletions were by @JuTa: due to image page text having failed to be posted, I think. Spot checks seem to show they are public domain either by an obvious expiry (like being 180 years old) or being state PD. It would be better to have these in a housekeeping category like Category:Uploads by Fæ needing license correction than outright deletion. Giving a week to do mass housekeeping when a glance at the source confirms they are public domain seems overly bureaucratic.

The root cause is by the WMF servers failing to post the page contents on uploads, not a failure of the uploader. The general failure rate using the Commons API to upload files across all upload projects is something below 0.1%, and it appears to not have an obvious pattern, but could be related to the source sites when using direct url upload. -- (talk) 19:52, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Reproductions and representations of architectural works and sculptures, permanently placed on public roads, carried out by natural persons, to the exclusion of any commercial use." --YtoSu (talk) 16:05, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - Deletion requests are not votes. If no additional comments have been made (and indeed one notes no !votes supporting retention either), the closing admin evaluates the merits of the nomination rationale. Here France indeed does not have sufficiently free FoP provisions. We require use by anyone (i.e., "the reproduction by individuals (not organizations)" is disqualifying) and commercial usage (i.e., "only for non-commercial utilizations" and "to the exclusion of any commercial use" are disqualifying.)

Bonjour Je veut la restauration de la photo de la mosqué faycal de Conakry. Elle est sous licence libre et sans signature particulier. --Aboubacarkhoraa (talk) 19:56, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Rough Google translation (literal): Hello I want the restoration of the photo of the faycal mosque of Conakry. It is under free license and without a special signature.
 Oppose: @Aboubacarkhoraa: you must contact the architect or his heir (whoever holds the copyright) and ask for proof of their use of free licensing of their architectural work, preferably through COM:OTRS correspondence. COM:FOP Guinea is clear: no Commons-acceptable freedom of panorama in Guinea. Unless the copyright law there is changed to allow photographic reproductions of copyrighted architecture and sculptures to be used for any purposes, most especially commercially. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 01:49, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
  •  Oppose @Aboubacarkhoraa: Même si la photo est sous une licence dite «libre», la Mosquée elle-même n'est pas et il n'y a pas de liberté de panorama en Guinée. En Guinée, le droit d'auteur dure pendant les quarante années civiles à compter de la fin de l'année du décès de l'auteur (c-à-d. l'architecte) dans le cas des arts appliqués (par exemple, œuvres architecturales). --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 02:02, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

I'd like to request the Juan R. de la Cruz.jpg file to be undeleted. There is no living author of this photograph, and since the person portraited is a relative of mine (and I am his only living descendant) then I should be able to post it. I don't understand why bots keep deleting it. I've stated before is was an unknown photographer from almost 100 years ago who took the picture. --Familiaresrdz1 (talk) 22:33, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - This is not how copyright works. Copyright initially vests in the author (here, photographer) and does not transfer but through written conveyance. Further, inheritance (perhaps implied by "I am his only living descendant") generally also requires written conveyance with specific attribution of the IP and, absent the aforementioned transfer, would be to the photographer's heirs, not the subject's. You claimed yourself to be the author, which you now acknowledge to have been an untruth ("was an unknown photographer"). You also claimed this photograph to be dated around 1950, which is not "almost 100 years ago" and at 71 years old (2021 - 1950) is well short of our 120 year threshold for public domain assumptions with unknown authors. Эlcobbola talk 23:20, 21 March 2021 (UTC)


Thank you for clearing this up for me. If I made any wrong assumption I now apologize. However, to conclude: am I not able to use this photograph then? Although I have the physical image and the portrayed is my late direct relative? Or am I supposed to wait years to be able to use it? I'd also like to clarify that What I meant by "almost 100 years ago" is that he/she (the photographer) was born about 100 years ago as well as my relative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Familiaresrdz1 (talk • contribs) 00:34, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi, @Patrick Rogel, Explicit, Eniisi Lisika, and Theklan: this image was deleted. It seems that the argument for deletion was the following: "Again, Egunkaria is not within the material covered by Berria.eus CC license: "Baldintza horiek ondoko salbuespenak dituzte: ez diete eragingo EFE eta Argazki Press agentzietatik datozen edukiei eta Euskal Editorea ez den beste enpresa batzuetatik datozenei." Patrick Rogel (eztabaida) 08:46, 2 June 2020 (UTC). But there is no doubt about it, all the contents of the hemeroteque of the "Euskaldunon Egunkaria" (or "Egunkaria") are covered by Berria.eus CC license. You can verify it in the webpage of this image, in the homepage of the Egunkaria's Hemeroteque or even in the homepage of berria.eus where Egunkaria's Hemeroteque is included). You can read a similar discussion resolved in 2020 here: File:Koldo_Losada_Manolto_GafotasEgunkaria2000.jpg.

Hi Team,

  • @YourBestFriend3000: According to Commons:Deletion requests/File:Angelo Vermeulen at KAdE Amersfoort.jpg, the deletion request was not initiated at your request. The rationale for deletion was “Unlikely to be own work: small resolutions, missing EXIF, could be found on other web sites with Google Images. Commons:Derivative works from photos.” Ownership of a picture does not equate holding the copyright. With regards to this image, there are multiple copyrights in question:

        (1) that of the photographer of the picture
        (2) those of the creator of the works depicted (the photographer or artist of the works hanging on the wall).

As per the file history of the first image, it appears to have been restored once before, and appears to have now been deleted without proper discussion. The lack of discussion similarly applies to the second file. The logo originates in the United States, which has a rather broad threshold of originality, where gradients and 3D effects do not add to the complexity of the image. Other than that, it's a simple "H" letter, similar to File:HistoriaHD Logo 2015.png. Fry1989 eh? 16:35, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

    @Fry1989:  Info Per policy, it is up to the requester to provide evidence that the image is free. However almost all TOO based decisions are very subjective unless there is a court case applying to this particular image. IMO, the logo is below US TOO as PD-shape applies to any part of the logo that is not clear PD-text. So  Support undeletion. Especially, as {{Speedy}} should not be applied to a file that has already been undeleted. Ankry (talk) 08:52, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
EugeneZelenko deleted it as non-trivial. Whether they were aware of the previous restoration or not is unclear, but they have repeated that viewpoint here, and I would simply like to know why.

Kumy (talk) 17:47, 19 March 2021 (UTC) Since the uploaded files were proposed for deletion, I've contacted France Tv group asking their consent to publish their logo on wikimedia. The files we in the meantime deleted. Today, I've received written consent.

Bonjour Monsieur xxx,

Tout d'abord je tiens à vous faire part de nos excuses pour le délai de réponse.

J'ai le plaisir de vous informer que vous êtes autorisé à publier nos derniers logos sous réverve que vous précisiez clairement sur votre site que l’utilisation de ces logos est soumis à accord préalable du groupe France Télévisions.

Je reste à votre disposition pour toute autre information et vous souhaite un bon week-end.

Cordialement,

Hello Mr. xxxx,

First of all I would like to express our apologies for the delay in responding.

I am pleased to inform you that you are authorized to publish our latest logos under the reminder that you clearly specify on your site that the use of these logos is subject to the prior agreement of the France Télévisions group.

I remain at your disposal for any other information and wish you a good weekend.

Regards, 

Is it possible to undelete the following files please?

Closing admin said "unclear copyright status" but software interface screenshot was ineligible for copyright. Opencooper (talk) 21:04, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

@Opencooper: Have you any new arguments that you wish to present in the DR if it is reopened? We cannot override community decisions here. Ankry (talk) 22:26, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
@Ankry: The argument is that the closing admin did not use proper judgement here. The arguments made were in favor of keeping. Opencooper (talk) 02:25, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
 Support reopenning the DR. Closing it by an uninvolved admin may be fair. Ankry (talk) 08:41, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
Deletion requests are not simply closed based on consensus when it comes to copyright matters, but also based on the closers knowledge of copyright law and their interpretations of it. Even if everyone in the DR would say "keep" on a DR, if it were a clear copyvio, the admin would be well within their right to delete it, regardless of consensus. In this case, I wish to second the closing admin's decision. The elements in the image might not be above TOO by themself, but the elements put together like in this file might push it above TOO, and due to official Commons policy we err on the side of caution. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 23:44, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

This CG does not correspond to the reason for deletion "CSD G1 (test page, accidental creation, or page containing nonsense or no valid content)". A naked rich man and young girls in a bath tub filled with stacks of bills is one of the typical advertising images in Japan, used for fortune amulets. Most of Japanese (especially male) know it and the Japanese article "ja:札束風呂" (literally, "A bath filled with stacks of bills") has been maintained for that pictorial stereotype. This CG shows typical style of the image and will be helpful for readers. -- Asanagi (talk) 13:24, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

I am unsure about this particular file, but I am very concerned about the other uploads by the user having been deleted. As per a conversation with the knowledgeable seeming @Jmabel: here, standard license plates do not meet the threshold of originality. See Commons:TOO. Perhaps {{PD-textlogo|type=license plates}} should be applied to all license plates that are ok?

That said, it is quite possible that this user's uploads were all taken from elsewhere (the pattern fits), but leaving them all deleted for the wrong reason opens the door to future purges of license plates. Thank you, mr.choppers (talk)-en- 16:22, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

  • Looking through the deleted files. I'm inclined to agree with the deletion. Plates that include complex graphics would normally be protected under copyright, unless they're from a state that releases official works into the public domain. Even then, only if it was an official work of a government employee, or if there was a contract explicitly transferring ownership of the intellectual property. I don't know that most states keep artists on staff to make plates, or are copyright savvy enough to contractually transfer the IP, and even if they did/were, it may be near impossible to verify. GMGtalk 12:08, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

The file was deleted due to copyright issues. I changed the file information yesterday. I'm sorry, I forgot to use the right information when I uploaded it. I'm employed at the organisation from the logo so I have permission to use it. Yours sincerely, Lucelshout (talk) 18:22, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

@Lucelshout: Permission "to use" is not the same as the right to grant a license. The latter is restricted to the exclusive copyright holder. Please note, that for any image alredy published elsewhere we need an evidence of free license. A free license permission may provided following COM:OTRS process if it is nit available in public records. Ankry (talk) 23:01, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

The Seal of Badji Mokhtar Annaba University is a free content and is not subject to any copyright. --Université Badji Mokhtar - Annaba (talk) 10:17, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

@Université Badji Mokhtar - Annaba: This contradicts your claim at upload that it is copyrighted personally by you. Note also that using an organization name as user name is against Wikimedia Commons policy. User names are considered personal, especially if the users claim to be an author of a work (an author needs to be a human). Ankry (talk) 15:37, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

This is clearly from the gov India hence public domain Germartin1 (talk) 04:35, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

  • @Germartin1: Why do you believe that the photo is in the public domain? Per COM:India, government works are copyrighted under Indian copyright law for a duration of 60 years after publication, and photos are generally protected for 50 years after creation. Additionally, U.S. law applies on Commons. If a pre-1978 work was under copyright in the source country on 1 January 1996, then the work is protected protected for 95 years after the date of first publication. Let's say the image was created and first published in 1952, then, while, yes, the image is in the public domain in India as of either 2002 or 2012, the image is still copyrighted in the United States until the end of 2047 (i.e. U.S. copyright protections will expire on 1 January 2048). So  Oppose undeletion. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 05:19, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Not done. Since it was uploaded as the uploader's own work it is not obviously a work by the government of India. Deleted after Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Sid54126. Thuresson (talk) 15:23, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Hola he visto que has borrado la imagen de wikimedia commons de Fran Kapilla. La imagen fue realizada en 2011 con una cámara Nikon D3200 de la propiedad del autor Fran Kapilla y desde esa fecha ha estado colocada en el artículo. Dígame por favor qué necesita para corroborar autoría y procedencia para restablecerla, gracias. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aryekaix (talk • contribs) 16:13, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

@Aryekaix: The description contains inconsistent authorship information which cannot be verified on-wiki. Also providing a 0.1Mpx photo made using a 24Mpx camera constitutes doubt about authorship. As many users simply copies photos taken from various sites, we need an evidence that this one was not. These doubts can be resolved through COM:OTRS. Ankry (talk) 22:15, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

PLease Undelete this file as it is available on Flickr

  •  Oppose - Please review COM:LL. Image appeared here April 2015, well before June 2016 Flickr upload. (If the 320x322 resolution on Flickr didn't betray the image as a copyvio, the date in the Flickr EXIF of June 2015 is a demonstrable fabrication per the April 2015 appearance elsewhere.)

Dear Editors:

This pdf file is a history account of a forgotten general in Chinese armies during World War II against Japanese invasion and the internal civil war afterwards. His contribution to defending the Republic of China is evidenced by the rewords, citation and medals attached in the file. History is a part of education and this article certainly serves the educational purpose. This article is written in Chinese for all public who can read Chinese. This general died in a POW camp in PRC after his army defeated in 1049. His last words delivered to his army when he summoned all officers above ranks of company commanders were " A general in a lost battle could not claim bravery, but soldiers certainly can", " The path to serve your country is interrupted, but the roads to take care of your parents are wide open"

If this is not educational, what else could be.

Thanks you for your attention and wish you could read Chinese to comprehend the content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 陳建民 (talk • contribs) 03:21, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
