Reason: Hi, I am working multiple freelance jobs and I was in contact with people who actually directed this personal session and am crediting all the rights to the owner which would happen to be the photographer. I have permission to use this file. You guys removed the picture which was titled File: IMG_0586_Warm.jpg. I am not claiming to own any ownership to this photo as the rights belong to the owner Attilio D'Agostino. If you could please restore the photo, it would be greatly appreciated. This was not some random photo I found on the internet, it was sourced through people that were directing the photography session. Thank you.

Hi, I couldn't figure out the reason why the file File:2005 World Championships in Athletics 4.jpg.JPG was deleted. The deletion of that original somewhat breaks the continuity between it and the cropped version File:2005 World Championships in Athletics2.jpg. Commons:Deletion requests/File:2005 World Championships in Athletics 4.jpg.JPG doesn't seem to make much sense. I can't see the deleted file, so maybe there was a copyrighted element visible or something, but if no reason is found, could the file be undeleted? (Although perhaps the extra ".JPG" could be removed from the file name.) -- Asclepias (talk) 19:21, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

This picture was made by my self, with my own camera from my own model of a RC-135 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hornet Driver (talk • contribs) 20:16, 1 May 2015‎ (UTC)

-Reopened -- Whoa -- this was open for exactly five minutes.

 Support, depending If I understand Hornet Driver correctly, it is a model that he made, so he may be perfectly free to photograph it and upload the image here. HD, is that correct? Was it from a kit or from scratch? .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:38, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello Jameslwoodward, sorry I had forgotten to put in my signature.
Jim, I have made (by myself) the picture with my own camera, from this model i own. I did not build it from zero,it is handmade and I bought it and finished it. The photo is not made in comercial motivation (to sell such models or so9 it is made to use it for any topics with B707, respective for allt opics of SIGINT /ELINT aircraft, rep. RC-135R on wikipedia). Asi see it it is no voilation of copyright in this case because it is not a copy of a real Boeing RC-135R. Hornet Driver (talk) 17:57, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
 Oppose Sorry, Hornet Driver (and Fastily) -- I misunderstood. The model is a work of art and has a copyright as a sculpture. Note that a real Boeing airplane does not have a copyright because it is utilitarian, but the model does because it is not utilitarian. Transfer of a copyright requires a specific written agreement -- an ordinary bill of sale for the work will not do it, so it is very rare that the owner of an art work (other than the creator or his heirs) owns the copyright. Unless you can prove that the model maker transferred the copyright to you, your image infringes on the model maker's copyright and cannot be kept here. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:11, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

But I was the customer, without my order Währe this model has not been established (it is not a mass product but handmade).Hornet Driver (talk) 12:24, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

It doesn't matter whether it was mass produced or custom made to your order -- in any case it has a copyright which came into being when it was created. As I said above, unless the model maker gave you a formal written assignment of the copyright, separate from any bill of sale, the copyright still belongs to the model maker and the image infringes on his rights. In order to restore the image, the model maker himself must send a free license directly to OTRS. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 23:12, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

OK, I understand. I withdraw my request.Hornet Driver (talk) 21:06, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

I posted an updated version of the Atlassian logo for usage on Atlassian's Wikipedia page and it was deleted due to a copyright violation. The deleted file was taken from Atlassian's Media page where the logo is published for media-use (https://www.atlassian.com/company/press). I believe this is sufficient to allow the file to be undeleted on Wikimedia Commons.

In addition, the file I am trying to replace (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Atlassian-logo.svg) was allowed and is (from a content perspective) identical and therefore my upload should be allowed for the same reasons.

The reference to the logo that has been deleted is: File:Atlassian Logo - Extra Large.png The previous logo (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Atlassian-logo.svg) is outdated and not the current Atlassian logo.

I thought I had written down the explanation as of why I believe the logo should be allowed. As a recap I mentioned on another discussion (that I can not seem to find) that I would try sending an email to FG2A in order to get their approval to use their logo on the wikipedia page I helped create.

Below is the response from FG2A allowing us to use their logo and saying how happy they are about our initiative.

Bonjour Michael,

Tout d’abord nous souhaitons vous remercier pour votre contribution Wikipédia, nous sommes très reconnaissant que vous nous ayez choisi afin de développer la présence Wikipedia des acteurs du monde de l’assurance. Comme vous nous l’avez demandé, vous trouverez ci-joint, notre logo officiel que vous pourrez utiliser avec notre accord sur la page Wikipédia.

"This page provides approved editorial photography and other images for use on any media platform under the creative commons licence."
There are many Creative Commons licenses, only some of which are acceptable on Commons. The fact that the sentence does not capitalize the words further confuses the issue.

  •  Oppose The photograph has a copyright. The fact that the subject is dead is irrelevant. The photograph will be under copyright until around 2075. Your image is a derivative work of the photograph and infringes on its copyright.
There is also the fact that the combination of the photograph and the flag makes an image that is not generally useful for educational purposes and is therefore out of scope for Commons. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:04, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Deleted images from the article Попов, Иван Васильевич (политик) (1894-1952)

Hello, please undelete photos from the article Попов, Иван Васильевич (политик) (1894-1952):

These are anonymous images of 1920-1930s.

According to the rules of Wikipedia (Commons:Licensing): If the work is anonymous or a collaborative work (e.g. an encyclopedia), it is typically in the public domain 70 years after the date of the first publication. Yokki (обсуждение) Yokki (talk) 13:05, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Although your world-wide generalization is not correct, it is true that anonymous Russian works are PD 70 years after publication. However that leaves two things for you to prove with respect to these images. First, that they were actually anonymous -- the fact that you do not know who the photographer was does not make them "anonymous" as the law means it. Second, the copyright time begins with publication, not creation and, therefore, you must prove that they were, in fact, published more than 70 years ago. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:48, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Specification for Russia: In Russia works published prior to 1 January 1943, may also be in the public domain if: they were published anonymously or under a pseudonym before January 1, 1943, and the name of the author did not become known during 50 years starting from January 1 of the year following the year of its lawful disclosure. Yokki (talk) 16:40, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

True, but, as I said above, you must prove both that they were actually published (not merely kept in a photo album) and that the publication was anonymous (the fact that you don't know the name of the photographer does not make it an anonymous work). .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 09:59, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

+ Who is owns the photos taken in the photo studio? Yokki (talk) 17:02, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

The original copyright to this image was abandoned by the owner in 1998. I was an officer of the copyright owner at the time and can attest to this fact. No copyright is on file. see: http://cocatalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?Search_Arg=netroom&Search_Code=TALL&PID=ksRnCWoSQ_f7L-z6j-TVKuHH-5QC&SEQ=20150505113911&CNT=25&HIST=1 The trademark for the image has been abandoned and is considered "DEAD": see http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4809:41y7mr.3.4. The image submitted was an original I created from materials at hand. ScholarWarrior (talk) 15:43, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

 Oppose Copyrights, unlike trademarks, cannot be abandoned. The trademark status is irrelevant to the copyright. In the United States after 1989, no registration is necessary for there to be an effective copyright, so the fact that your search does not show one is also irrelevant. The copyright is probably owned by whoever succeeded to the rights of Helix Software, but even if the owner cannot be determined, that simply makes it an orphan copyright. Policy forbids Commons hosting orphans. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:53, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
I was an officer of Helix and it's successor McAfee and therefore I can attest to it's abandonment. In any event, copyrights can be considered abandoned. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abandonment_%28legal%29 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abandonware In the case of software it is generally considered abandoned when it will no longer operate on current hardware and when the company ceases support and development activity on the code. Thirdly, the image in question is descriptive and identifying and thus useable under fair use, just as if I were taking an image of the box to sell on e-bay.ScholarWarrior (talk) 16:02, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
You should read Abandonment_(legal)#Abandonment_of_copyright again. It makes it clear that abandonment of a copyright is very difficult and must be done explicitly. It does not happen automatically when a corporation is dissolved.
Also reread Abandonware. The second sentence explicitly says
"Although such software is usually still under copyright.."
That is precisely why you cannot upload it here -- it is still under copyright. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:06, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

First, this is fair use of the logo, which can be used without permission to identify the company in question and to distinguish it from other "Helix" companies.

Second, the copyrights and trademarks fcr the ompany name, logo and related artwork were abandoned when the company was sold in 1998. I was an officer of both the original company and the successor and can attest to this. The trademark is considered DEAD by the USPTO see: http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4803:1hzpe7.2.1 I created the specific image in question directly.

User:Basvb deleted this after a request from an anonymous IP user who claimed that the photographer wanted to have a smaller size here. I object first on the grounds that we don't ever react to claims made by IP users that a third party wants a deletion -- the actual copyright holder must send a notice to OTRS -- and second that the original license covered all sizes of the image and the photographer's changing his mind cannot be effective against the irrevocable license. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:46, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

I did however not delete the file based on the arguments of the IP-contributor but per "I think for this file OTRS-permission would be needed, the uploader might not have the rights to release this image". It is a high quality photo and from the earlier discussion the uploader does not seem to be the photographer. Basvb (talk) 18:49, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
  •  Oppose It is clear from the sourcing (adecom.ca) and the comment by the original uploader ("The photograph (who has the copyright) want us to diffuse a smaller image size than the one we put") that they are not the author. They may indeed be an agent of the author, but that is a circumstance for which we require OTRS permission. Basvb was exactly right that OTRS permission would be needed for this file. Yes, the size issue is not relevant and the license is irrevocable, but we do not yet have, and have never had, support for the license as required by COM:OTRS.

  • Even though your username matches that of the copyright owner -- so I'm sure this is fine -- user accounts are basically anonymous and we have had cases of people naming accounts to make it appear they are the author, I'm pretty sure. COM:OTRS is a mechanism to send a private email to verify the license on the image, sent from an email address identifiable with the author. It is unfortunately not fast, but that is our policy when it comes to material easily available on the Internet -- all too often it's just someone copying it here without permission.

Files from Boston Public Library Flickr stream

Those 1910-1930 files have been deleted wihout any discussion because the sourse license is not allowed on Commons. It is true that the license given is foridden at Commons but those are US works created long before 1977 by Leslie Jones who died in 1967. I can't see a copyright notice at those images so perhaps {{PD-US-no notice}} fits. However, even if there is a notice they are created before 1966 and I can't find evidence that the copyright is renewed (someone with more skills than me should probably recheck this) so in that case {{PD-US-not renewed}} could be a match. This is not a clear to the cut case so they should not have been speedy deleted imho. Phtographs have been donated to the Boston Public Library in the early 70's. If anyone doubts that they have been published before 2008 (upload date at Flickr) than I would argue that the donation fits Commons:Publication#United_States and this was almost certainly without notice. Pinging @Fastily: (deleting admin), @1989: (nominated the files for deletion), @Metilsteiner: (uploader) and @Clindberg: (just want to hear his opinion). Natuur12 (talk) 15:37, 6 May 2015 (UTC)


I just looked at 1-2 files on Flickr and they appear to be the original negatives. No real reason they would ever have a copyright notice. It sounds like the negatives were kept private (i.e. not published) and given to the library in the 1970s. The page has a note that they are still copyrighted by Leslie Jones, which would indicate copyright was not transferred to the library. You would have to show that these negatives were distributed individually before 1989 to claim that copyright tag... I'm rather doubtful. If the entire collection was donated, that might conceivably have been considered publication, but you would just need one copyright notice on the entire collection. I doubt there is a requirement to then add a notice to the originals, particularly when you are trying to preserve the originals as much as possible. The odds are these are under copyright until the 2060s... or if not published until after 1978, then perhaps 2047. If not published before 2003, then probably 70pma, so 2037. If these photos were published back when they were taken, that might be a different matter (renewal etc.) but there is no evidence of that from just the library information. That just says his private photo collection (so perhaps never published) was donated to the library in the 1970s. Carl Lindberg (talk) 17:21, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
Hmmm, I didn't know that one notice for the entire collection was enough. That changes things. Natuur12 (talk) 11:20, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
I think what Carl is saying is that either they are not published -- in which case the copyright will last a long time or that they were published by the act of donating them to the BPL. If the latter is true, then you have to consider the collection as a whole, just as you consider all the non-advertising content of a periodical as a whole, and, as with a periodical, one notice covers everything. .     Jim . . . .

File:konerzone.jpg to undelete

Hello,

I think I added enough information when uploading the image such as the below to not have anyone delete the picture.

- origin - when the picture was taken - the link where the picture is featured on the web, being konerzone.com (page BIO) - the fact that I am IN the picture and that I OWN the rights of this picture

I truly regret that people still find this info insufficient.

Thank you in advance for restoring the picture asap so that it's visible on the WIKI page I created yesterday: KONER.

 Oppose First, you should read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest as it will directly affect your article on WP:EN.
I note that his image is small and very blurred. I'm not sure it is useful as I don't think anyone can recognize any of the people in it. The larger version at http://konerzone.com/contact/ is much better.
Since the image has appeared at http://konerzone.com/contact/ with an explicit copyright notice, policy requires that the copyright holder send a free license to OTRS. Since you claim to be the copyright holder, but are not the photographer, you will need to explain there how it is that you own the copyright -- as a general rule that remains with the photographer unless it is transferred with a written agreement. .     Jim . . . .

Hello Miss Eugene. I am writing to request undeletion of the images I uploaded to Article Rafael Nunez (governor) because they are of my own making and is already the second time they are deleted.

I tried twice to enrich the article for the good of the whole community and honor of my great-grandfather, and I can not do it for the obstacles that makes me wikipedia. It has taken much time and labor to expand the product and place those images. I have done absolutely in good faith and following all the steps. I regret it so difficult for us, interested in building a better encyclopedia, upload information. I'm a great reader of wikipedia and I admire you and think every day you do an excellent job.

  •  Oppose I doubt very much that "they are of my own making" is correct. Were you really the photographer for all of these images of your great-grandfather? The only politician I can find with that name is Rafael Núñez (politician), president of Colombia, who died in 1894, so if he is the subject, it is not possible that you were the photographer.
"family property" suggests that these images came from a family album and probably have never been published before. Because the laws are very different, we need to know -- is this the Colombian president? Or an Argentine? .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:35, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

This photo was deleted despite me sending the required information via email on May 3. The photograph was taken by my friend Sarah Jeynes specifically for me last year, for my own use. There is no copyright, there is no license. Please restore this photo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rich viola (talk • contribs) 20:21, 11 May 2015‎ (UTC)

 Oppose With few exceptions which do not apply here, all recent works have copyrights. In this case, unless Sarah Jeynes licensed it to you in a written agreement, she is the copyright holder and the only person who can authorize its use on Commons. In order to restore the image, she must send a free license to OTRS. OTRS, like Commons is all volunteers and is badly understaffed, so once she has sent the license, it may be several weeks or a month before the image is restored. .     Jim . . . .

Request temporary undeletion

  •  Oppose Nonsense request per COM:PRP#5 and the spirit of #1-4 (saying the company doesn't exist implies it will not find out/care/be able to enforce rights/etc.) These are screenshots of copyrighted software that is reasonably expected to have an owner; Sound Retrieval System was purchased by SRS Labs Inc. (SRS Labs) in 1993, and SRS Labs was acquired by DTS, Inc. in 2012. That new versions of the software are not being released does not impact copyright status.

Good day! I'm the user who uploaded the recent picture on concern of Prince Nikolai of Denmark. The file was "File:Prince Nikolai of Denmark on an interview.jpg." Thank you for deleting the file as I had made a mistake concerning references. I request temporary undeletion until further matters are resolved on the copyright violation of the said image. I want to apologize for being a beginner here and for matters I still really don't understand well. I hope criticizing me politely would be a great help for the next ones. As part of the description, I would like to clear up that the image was in fact just a screenshot of the same image reference via an Instagram user. As part of Wikimedia Commons' policy, I knew that the copyright was in fact existing and an error has been committed due to my own move. Secondly, the image reference has failed to be uploaded with the image due to internet connection issues (Please don't criticize me as I only use a free version access offered to our nation.) Lastly,the image itself is from Instagram and has been widely circulated over the Internet. There should be a copyright for such pictures like these, but I failed to attach it when it was uploaded. I was happy for the deletion of the failed upload, but an undeletion would help me to re-arrange the pieces for a more welcomed coming of my name here. Sorry for that. If you may, I would like to request temporary undeletion for a month(or any time but not less than a week, or as the administrators do so) until reference is fully updated, linked and under the policies. --Xandrenavarro (talk) 14:46, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello, Xandrenavarro. Unfortunately, providing a reference to the source is not sufficient. What we need is permission from the copyright owner (likely the Instagram user, if that user took the photo). More specifically, that permission needs to allow anyone in the world to share and use it for any purpose (including commercial purposes), with proper credit if desired.
If that user has a public e-mail address that we can associate with the Instagram account, that user can send us proper permission by e-mail according to these instructions.
If I am misunderstanding the situation, please accept my apologies. Anon126 ( ) 00:22, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello, Anon126. Thank you for understanding my situation.

I would love to ask permission, but by this time, the Instagram user (@nikolaiofdenmark) has not provided me any contact for his account. And as I said earlier, the picture was of my screenshot of mine of the image. If the image's page still exists, the file history may help. Or if that does not help, my sincere apologies for the mistake.
Furthermore, a bad situation happened last night. The PC where the same file rests is in a failure and recovery of files is not possible. The undeletion request at first would go for the arrangement of matters for reference and permissions, but by this time, I need to recover that file as soon as possible. If you can bear with the situation, thank you.
Lastly, checking the Internet for the same picture has resulted in many similar ones that have been circulating widely on the web. If the Instagram user got it too the same way I did not know, well, I need to clarify permissions for more. If the request for undeletion is granted, I would like the link posted on the image page to be seen by me (as author) to review the website and permission contacts, just like how it was notified of a possible copyright infringement.
Thank you and may please accept my apologies if I misunderstood your case. :)

The LIFX Logo is a company logo that should be placed on the LIFX Wikipedia article. Company logos are allowed on the Wikipedia Commons to my understanding. If they aren't, why are logos for companies like Microsoft and Samsung on here?

Daylenca (talk) 02:15, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Logos are only allowed if they are not under copyright (which is distinct from trademark), or the copyright is licensed. While most logos have enough creativity to qualify for copyright, there are a few that don't -- usually typeface-only logos do not (at least in the U.S.). Some logos may be old enough that copyright has expired, or (if U.S. logos) they did not follow the copyright formalities required in the U.S. before 1989. Each of the logos here should have a licensing tag indicating the reason why copyright is not a problem. In Microsoft and Samsung's case, I believe they are typeface-only logos, or only add a very simple, standard geometric shape to it. If the logo is the same as on the LIFX website, the graphic is probably enough to push that logo over the threshold of originality. While Commons has no problem hosting trademarked images (simply hosting them should not violate trademark), we cannot host any images where the copyright is valid and not licensed. The English Wikipedia (and some other Wikipedias) allow hosting images directly on that project under a fair use rationale, which is how most logos seen on Wikipedia are stored. Commons, however, is forbidden from hosting images under a fair use rationale -- all works must be "free", which is a term centered on copyright law specifically, and means either no copyright or a liberal license. See w:Wikipedia:Logos for their page on the subject, and upload instructions. Carl Lindberg (talk) 07:17, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

 Oppose It is not clear that the very young company whose logo this is is notable. The WP article is problematic for several reasons. Therefore this image may be out of scope.

I note that the image description says "author=Judd Schoenholtz". I would ordinarily expect that the copyright holder would be either the author or the organization for which the logo was made, not a third party.
"this is licensed to be used on Wikipedia freely" is not acceptable. Commons and WP:EN require that images be licensed for use by anyone, anywhere, including commercial use. It is hard to image that you want the corporate logo of a startup company freely licensed. In any case, in order to restore it here, the actual copyright holder must send a free license to OTRS.

Reasons: image of me that I own. No copyright issues.

--Ironlion27 (talk) 15:38, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

 Oppose As a rule, the copyright to images is held by the photographer, not the subject. Owning a copy of an image, even if it is the only copy, does not make you the copyright holder or give you the right to freely license it. Copyright must be transferred by a written agreement. Also, this image has appeared on the Web without a free license, and therefore policy requires sending a free license to OTRS.

If you have a written copyright transfer and are yourself the copyright holder, please send a free license to OTRS. If not, please have the photographer send one. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:18, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

Reason: I work for the Mayor Gillum's Office; the file uploaded was his official picture which is used on the City of Tallahassee website. While I, individually, do not own the rights to the photo, I have permission to use it for his Wikipedia page. Additionally, the file I uploaded was converted to .png from a .jpg, so in a sense I have ownership over that individual file (though not the image rights).

I'm fairly new to contributing to Wikipedia and am in the process of trying to clean up they Mayor's page, which was edited fairly heavily by an intern. We understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and I am starting an effort to make Mayor Gillum's entry more encyclopedic rather than biographical/a narrative Michaelalfano (talk) 14:14, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

 Oppose "I have permission to use it for his Wikipedia page" is not sufficient -- Commons and WP:EN require that all uploads be free for use by anyone anywhere, including commercial use and derivative works. The fact that you are in government in Florida may make this easy. If the photograph was taken by an employee (not a contractor or other non-employee) of the state or any of its subdivisions (including Tallahassee), then it is PD. In order to restore it on that basis, you will need to tell us here the name and position of the photographer (ie "Jane Jones, City Photographer").
If not, then the copyright and the right to license it belongs to the photographer unless he or she has explicitly transferred it to the Mayor in a written agreement separate from any invoice for the image. Whoever owns the copyright -- the Mayor or the photographer -- must send a free license to OTRS. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:13, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

 Oppose With limited exceptions, none of which apply here, all recent creations have copyrights, so these images almost certainly do. In their file descriptions, you say that you were the photographer. In the comment above, you suggest that that is not the case. That needs to be clarified.
The images appear on the Web without free licenses. Policy therefore requires that the actual copyright holder send a free license to OTRS. That would usually be the actual photographer or, if the copyright has been formally transferred to the museum, a corporate officer of the museum.
The license should explicitly mention the two images above as well as
In all four cases, once the images are restored, please upload the original images at full camera resolution. These four downsampled versions may be useful on the Web, but are marginal for Commons. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:31, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Because identity theft is common here, that licenses sent by a third party (you, for example) will generally not be accepted.

I request that Krdbot's deletion be undeleted. This is because his/her/its claims that the picture is well within the copyright laws, especially since I sited the website, source, and the author too. I mean its not like I created the source and everything so many years ago just so I could add it on wiki today.--Ellis.Donnie (talk) 20:59, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Also this has happened before, although the reason why I labeled it as my own work the first time was because I had saved the picture a few years ago and could not remember which website I used, but this time I had to find the same/almost same exact picture and use the website. So, therefore I fixed the "copyright violation", but still my picture is still somehow violating copyright laws and this needs to be fixed especially since this time its definitely baseless.--Ellis.Donnie (talk) 21:04, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

 Oppose Simply naming the source and author is not sufficient here -- you must prove that either the image is no longer under copyright (is in the Public Domain) or that you have the right to freely license it, see COM:Licensing. This image may or may not be under copyright -- it could well be PD under US law, but it is up to the uploader to prove that.

I request an undelete of this file as I am an employee of the school to whom the logo belongs and I have the express permission to use the logo in this way (published on the wikipedia page for the school). Linzeyc (talk) 19:34, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

Description This is a logo owned by Selwyn College, Auckland New Zealand for Selwyn COllege. Source Selwyn College Article Selwyn College Portion used The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image. Low resolution? This image has been specifically sized for Wikipedia. Purpose of use The image is used to identify the following notable public facility: Selwyn College. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify a facility (such as a road, airport, station, city, neighborhood, or the like), and assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the facility. Replaceable? Because it is a non-free logo, there is almost certainly no free representation. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary. Other information Use of the logo in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy, logo guidelines, and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. Linzeyc (talk) 21:39, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Most of the note above sounds like a fair use rationale. That's irrelevant here since Commons can not accept fair use. In order for the logo to be restored to Commons, an officer of the college must send a free license to OTRS. Note that "express permission to use the logo in this way (published on the wikipedia page for the school)" is not sufficient for Commons or WP:EN -- both require a license that allows use by anyone anywhere, including commercial use.
Also note that Commons much prefers images as large as possible. The Wikimedia software resizes on the fly for different users' requirements and this tiny logo (50x49 px) is essentially unusable. I will oppose restoration of this version even if the College offers a free license. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:24, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

File:Mural con BTOY.jpg file undeletion

Buenas tardes, soy el Director del IES Cartima, José María Ruiz Palomo, y el mural que aparece en la imagen borrada está dentro de nuestro centro educativo. Es obra de la artista BTOY junto con el alumnado del instituto, y es de nuestra propiedad. Además la fotografía ha sido tomada por mí. Por tanto, no existe ninguna violación de ningún derecho de copyright ni ningún otro. Le ruego que anule el borrado de la imagen.

Un cordial saludo. José María Ruiz Palomo Director del IES Cartima. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmruizpalomo (talk • contribs) 12:26, 22 May 2015‎ (UTC)

  •  Oppose Unless each of the artists (or their parents, if they are minors) has executed a formal transfer of copyright to the school, the copyright for the mural remains with the artists and only they can license it here.
The file does not say where the mural is. It is possible that it is covered by an FOP exemption, but we will have to know its exact location -- both the country and whether it is indoors or outside. I see an article at IES Cartima, which you have edited, which places an Institute of that name in Spain. (Incidentally, I know that only because you give a latitude and longitude -- the article did not link the city name or tell us what country it is in). If it is in Spain and is outside, visible from a public street, then it is OK. If it is indoors, it is not. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:39, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

It says "Derivative works from non-free software screenshots." This is not true. There's absolutely nothing in Commons:Derivative works about softwares. With all the time put into this it would've been nice to be warned before it was actually deleted... MaudeG3 (talk) 15:30, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

 Oppose You were warned by User_talk:MaudeG3#File:TutorialAgeing.webm on May 7. The file was actually deleted on May 23, so Commons:Deletion requests/File:TutorialAgeing.webm was open more than twice the required seven days. I'm not sure what warning you expect, but "it would've been nice to be warned before it was actually deleted" doesn't seem to fit the facts.
COM:DW leads with
""A 'derivative work' is a work based upon one or more pre-existing works, such as a translation, musical arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form in which a work may be recast, transformed, or adapted." emphasis added
"Any other form" is very broad and certainly includes software. Your upload infringed on the Google copyright as well as the copyright in all of the WP images you show. You cannot claim "own work" when your work is simply an assemblage of other peoples' work -- you must give credit, even where much of the video came from WP:EN. .     Jim . . . .

This is package of this liqueur. Developer, Bottler, Copyright holder = Toshiaki Aizu allowed to use this photo on Wikipedia. What point is not good for Wikipedia commons? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 佐治秀政 (talk • contribs) 01:54, 28 May 2015‎ (UTC)

 Oppose "allowed to use this photo on Wikipedia" is not sufficient. Both Commons and WP:EN require that images be free for use by anyone anywhere for any reason, including commercial use. The image appears on the manufacturer's web site, http://returner.jp/, with a clear copyright notice, "©Retuener Japan Corporation". The fact that the company's name is misspelled in the notice does not change its effectiveness. Policy therefore requires that an officer of the corporation send a free license to OTRS.

I note that this image was reloaded as File:Returner EARL GREY TEA LIQUEUR.png. Recreating a deleted image is a violations of Commons rules and I have deleted it. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:35, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

The copyright is owned by a corporation. You are an individual and obviously not the corporation. In fact, we have no way of knowing anything at all about you. Therefore, as I said above, "Policy therefore requires that an officer of the corporation send a free license to OTRS."

This church was originally built in 1743-1785. It was completely destroyed in the 1930's, then rebuild identically in 2000-2011 (see this article for more details). In my opinion, the restoration work does not generate copyright, since its aim was to rebuild the church identically, so this image could be restored. BrightRaven (talk) 10:28, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

  •  Oppose First, the cited article does not say that the new church is an exact replica -- only that it was built on exactly the same place. Second, since the original church was built in the 18th century, it is certain that a great deal of creative work went into the new building. Even if it was meant to be an exact replica, new architectural drawings would have been required. They would have to have been created from photographs and other information available about the building that was destroyed in 1936. The new building could not be an exact replica -- building codes and methods have changed substantially since the 18th century. Therefore, the new building has a new copyright. .     Jim . . . .

File:BartDeWever.jpg Licenced with CC BYSA, how then a Copyright violation?

I did my very best to do everything right when uploading this file, including coordinating with the original photographer (Miel Pieters) to get the photograph onto Flickr with the right kind of license. I suggested Attribution-ShareAlike to him, which I believe should be perfectly fine. That's what he selected, so as soon as I saw that was in order on Flickr, I referenced the photo, his name, and uploaded the file here.

Where did I go wrong?... Sygmoral (talk) 09:39, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

 Support I think the problem is that the bot that did the Flickrreview objected to the fact that you uploaded a different size from the one on Flickr. That is not a legal problem, as the license covers all sizes, but it did create a problem for the bot. I think we can restore this promptly. .     Jim . . . .

 Comment I do have an additional question/comment: I made some minor changes to the photograph before uploading, in particular I reduced some of the blurred 'light smudges'. That's one reason I had the photographer select BY-SA, so that - if required - I could 'publish' my (tiny) change with the same license. I did not manage to select this as an option when I was using the Upload Wizard though, and I'm not sure whether I need to do anything special about that. In any case I don't "need" any credit for that tiny change: as far as I'm concerned, it's completely Miel Pieter's work. Sygmoral (talk) 13:49, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
