Caricare immagini

Grazie, per la prossima volta, allora, quando ho caricato un'immagine devo anche scrivere una e-mail per confermare? --FranzJosef (talk) 10:57, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Metauros, anfora a figure nere con cavaliere e cane.jpg

Thank you for your notice. I hope that my presence will be enough for clarify the question.--Trixt (talk) 21:21, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Re:Music4mix is Oscar Marquez?

Hi. I confirmed the Flickr licenses of File:Zendaya Coleman.jpg and File:Tiffany Thornton movie premiere.jpg, but I cannot figure out where you are getting the Oscar Marquez name for the author and attribution. It's not at the Flickr description page, his Flickr profile, or his YouTube profile that I could find. I'm going to remove it. Please let me know if I'm missing something.--Chaser (talk) 06:07, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi. The author of File:Zendaya Coleman.jpg and File:Tiffany Thornton movie premiere.jpg is Oscar Marquez because it was mentioned in permission mail in my Flickr inbox. You can see below:

"You have the permission to use Zendaya Coleman image on Wikipedia under the creative commons/share alike licence, Zendaya Coleman link : www.flickr.com/photos/music4mix/5127577785/in/pool-818939@N21 Please e-mail this note to Wikipedia for their records! Oscar Marquez (Music4mix)"

Hoangquan hientrang (talk) 8:19, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

OK. Ordinarily you would email that to the address listed at COM:OTRS. Since he simply changed the licenses on Flickr itself, that's unnecessary. Since his email does not say that he wants to be attributed in some other way than the description that is on Flickr, I'm not going to re-add his name to the images. I'm not going to assume that including his real name in the email meant he wanted to be attributed by his real name. If you want to email him back and ask him that, it is up to you.--Chaser (talk) 15:37, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

No problem

Context [1].

Don't worry, no problem :-) --Filnik^{\b[Rr]ock\b!?} 18:16, 11 January 2011 (UTC) I've made some fixes in your italian userpage! If you don't like them, please feel free to revert :-)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Chaser!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

COM:OTRS/N#Getty_material_with_open_OTRS

A user has expressed a concern that some images that you tagged as OTRS received are likely copyright violations and that they are from "an agency that is well known for suing anybody using their images without paying for [them]". MorganKevinJ^(talk) 14:40, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Non-free pictures

Hi Chaser,

I saw you just removed one of my pictures as non-free. I hadn't realized that we couldn't use images with the non-commercial licence. I uploaded a few other NC pictures from Flickr that should probably be deleted here, here, and here. Sorry!

Whitehouse photos

Hi, I have done a few of the Flickr reviews for some of the Whitehouse photos you have uploaded and have started to (semi-automatically) trim off the text:

I am aware this text is pasted into the description field on Flickr but as the relevant license is {{PD-USGov-POTUS}} which ought to fully take care of any license conditions the rubric seems potentially mis-leading. In particular the constraint of "personal use" would equivalent to non-commercial use and "may not be manipulated" would be equivalent to no derivatives, either constraint not allowable on Commons.

If you feel these constraints are needed, then {{PD-USGov-POTUS}} is not the correct license to use and the photographs cannot be loaded on to Commons, at the moment my assumption is that these constraints are incorrectly or unnecessarily expressed by the originator. If you prefer the text to be restored then we would probably have to start a deletion discussion for these photos due to these incompatibilities. Thanks, Fæ (talk) 07:00, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

That's not a statement about copyright. The images are public domain by operation of law. That paragraph is, as Infrogmation said, a zealous assertion of personality rights, which are legally distinct from copyright. This has been discussed many times and the conclusion is consistent. See other discussions on Commons for more, but the point is that that paragraph is not incompatible with public domain.

I agree that the text is confusing and could mislead someone. It may be better to tag these with a variation of {{Personality rights}} instead of leaving the full paragraph intact.--Chaser (talk) 21:37, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

I think we are probably in agreement, though I'm not in a rush to tag all photos with a person in them automatically with personality rights advisory notices. As, in practice, the photographs I would need to do a Flickr review for have already been changed (by cropping, that's why the bot is not finishing the job) then including the text is contradictory as saying "the photograph may not be manipulated in any way" is a bit late if the image the reader is looking at has already been manipulated from the original. I'm happy you are aware of it, and for the photos I'm tagging I'll let my script continue to trim this non-license unenforceable constraint. Thanks, Fæ (talk) 22:51, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

I think "manipulated" was meant in a narrow sense, not including traditional derivative works. The context (personality rights) supports that interpretation. I also think it's a mistake to trim this entirely. The White House puts these photos on Flickr as a courtesy. It's courteous for us to preserve some advisement for re-users about personality rights. For one thing, it helps to inform re-users about personality rights so that they can take steps to ensure that they respect them.--Chaser (talk) 23:47, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Author name

I must have copied the formatting from one image that had the incorrect license attribution at the bottom. I'll fix all of the other occurrences. Thanks for pointing it out to me. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 04:06, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Italian

Tutto chiaro, direi (your Italian is better than my English, that's for sure ;P)--Trixt (talk) 23:29, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

You're too kind (and too modest).--Chaser (talk) 23:30, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

I quote Trixt about the italian :-) Done however! --Filnik^{\b[Rr]ock\b!?} 20:08, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for both.--Chaser (talk) 05:30, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

File:Bella Thorne 2010.jpg

Please confirm my image File:Bella Thorne 2010.jpg--Hoangquan hientrang (talk) 15:21, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Done.--Chaser (talk) 15:38, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Flickr mail

I've been told not to use Flickr mail for about six months now (guessing). Volunteers argued that it was too much extra work as they're already swamped with other OTRS e-mails. It's easier for them to have the author change the licenses themselves. However, if the author e-mails you their photos then you can still forward a regular e-mail as permission. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 04:19, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

File:Miley Cyrus 2008.jpg

Please confirm my image File:Miley Cyrus 2008.jpg. This is the last time Music4mix gave me the permission for his photos because he says he can't change the license now--Hoangquan hientrang (talk) 10:04, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Another OTRS volunteer is already handling that at ticket:2011022210006964. I will defer to them.--Chaser (talk) 21:56, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Below is the reply of an OTRS member for my email. It says that the permission is not enough. Please tell me the problems

As this image is hosted on Wikimedia Commons, it requires the copyright holder to provide a specific release under a suitably free license (such as certain Creative Commons licenses or the GFDL), which allows anyone to use them for any purpose, including commercial usage and derivative works (subject to applicable laws). If you can supply this, then the content may be hosted on Wikimedia Commons and then used on Wikipedia. I'm afraid that "permission to use on Wikipedia" is not adequate enough.

Thank you for your understanding! Please see <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing> for more information. If you require a sample email, you may visit <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Email_templates>.

Yours sincerely, Sreejith Kulamgarath

Hope to receive your reply soon--Hoangquan hientrang (talk) 16:11, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

You have copied and pasted Music4mix's email in a fresh email and sent that to OTRS. This gives no proof that Music4mix has indeed send you permission. You will have to forward the original email from Music4mix to OTRS. Even better, if you can ask Music4mix to send an email to OTRS directly. If Music4mix can use the OTRS standard email template that will be awesome. --Sreejith K (talk) 05:09, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

05:09, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

But the permission is in my FlickrMail I don't know how to forward it--Hoangquan hientrang (talk) 10:39, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Download a free screen-capture utility like this one (I presume you're using Microsoft Windows). Login to Flickr, find his message giving permission. Do a screen capture. Reply to the OTRS email with the screen-capture as an attachment.--Chaser (talk) 22:22, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Done. Screen-capture was made by SnagIt 10 because I can;t use your suggested software.--Hoangquan hientrang (talk) 14:30, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

OK, good. For future reference, you should leave the "Re: [Ticket:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]" part in the email subject line. All the emails go to the same address, so leaving the ticket number in the subject line routes them back to the same conversation and thus the same person. Regards.--Chaser (talk) 20:09, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Oh, i forget doing that. Can I send it again--Hoangquan hientrang (talk) 02:19, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

I merged your latest email into the existing ticket. As I say, for future reference.--Chaser (talk) 03:19, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

So please confirm the permission--Hoangquan hientrang (talk) 15:52, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

OTRS would have preferred a direct email from the copyright holder, but still approving it this time. I hope, the next time, you will ask the copyright owner to email OTRS directly. Thanks for your patience and your contributions to commons. --Sreejith K (talk) 04:46, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
