Logos

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I Work at this company.

How can I put the logo on the Wikipedia? Just put their address on my company server? —the preceding unsigned comment is by Tiagobuffon (talk • contribs)

This is Wikimedia Commons. Only free files are allowed here, which you can read much more about on your talk page and the upload page. For Wikipedia I suggest you go to the Wikipedia upload page and carefully read their rules. --|EPO| ^da: 22:51, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Screenshot of software made by US-EPA

I did a screenshot of EPANET (Free Software from US-EPA) with my own data but I used a licensed OS. So you delete this file . I want to ask you If I can use the screenshot if i crop all the toolbars, buttons, and OS tools.

--Tecsie 23:35, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

I have now taken a closer look at the software and its development. From its homepage it is stated to be developed by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which is a United States government agency, which makes their works public domain. The software is then considered to be free.

In order to prevent any future misunderstandings you should carefully describe that it is a screenshot from a US government work and link to the above page. For license use {{free screenshot|template=PD-USGov-EPA}}. Please notice that the screenshot is not your work and you therefore have no right to choose your own license. --|EPO| ^da: 08:20, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your help, I had upload the original image from EPA website in commons here, but there is other file in wikipedia with the same name but diferent extension case in this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:EPANET.GIF.

I think that the second file will be deleted. How I can do that?.

--Tecsie 17:22, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

It is rarely neccesary to use this many license templates. The two I put on shows it is a software of EPA, which makes it public domain. Then you should describe anything further in text. You might also describe what the screenshot actually shows.

For the English Wikipedia image tag it with {{subst:ncd|Image:EPANET.GIF}}. --|EPO| ^da: 08:38, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:Icon tools.png

Hi EPO,

You have recently deleted Image:Icon tools.png. While I understand your motivations (it should have a source), this image is widely used on WMF projects and it should be replaced before its deletion, otherwise there would be a huge amount of red links, including in some MediaWiki messages. I have undeleted it for now.

Now, isn't this part of the Nuvola icon set ? (I don't know much the icons...). I'm sure we can find something to replace it if it isn't free, and why not upload a free icon on top of this one, and then delete the old unsourced version. This way, there is not need for long image replacements everywhere...

Thanks, le Korrigan →bla 11:43, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

You are quite right. When heavily used caution should be exercised. Unfortunately I did not give this a thought when I deleted the image. I will take care of if now. Thanks for the help. --|EPO| ^da: 12:32, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:Icon tools.png

Please remember to run the CheckUsage tool to find images in use. CommonsTicker identified you as having had deleted an image being used on en.wiktionary.org. wikt:WT:CT. --Connel MacKenzie 09:01, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Billeder fra Gråsten

Hej EPO

Gider du tage et kig på billederne på da:Gråsten Slot. Såvidt jeg kan se bør de begge to slettes. Mvh. Valentinian ^(talk) 09:49, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Det bør billedet af mønten med Landet Kirke i øvrigt også. Image:Landet kirke hoj.jpg. De andre billeder i Category:Coins of Denmark er i det mindste ikke taget af ikke-wikipedianere. Valentinian ^(talk) 12:16, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Folketinget

Har du modtaget nye svar vedrørende Commons:Deletion requests/Template:Www.folketinget.dk? Det er begrænset, hvor lang tid vi kan tillade os at have disse billeder i en gråzone. Og den tid er vist ved at være overstået. --|EPO| ^da: 14:22, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Nej, ikke endnu. Jeg har rykket, og fik et automatisk svar tilbage om at de var på ferie et par uger endnu. Så længe vi venter på svaret på min email så synes jeg klart at det er forsvarligt at beholde billederne. Thue 11:05, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

PD-50

Hello, I see you closed the PD-50 Denmark part, which was a wise decision to end the annoying extra careful copyright bs there. However, we are still running them on Commons:Deletion requests/Template:PD-Finland50 and Commons:Deletion requests/Template:PD-Sweden-photo. The PD-Finland 50 had been closed once already, but Rtc nominated it again, implying German copyright laws apply in Finland. Finnish Copyright Council has said they are PD, why we should delete hundred of valid and important images, because in theory it is possible that they would not be in Germany?

As you can see, there is a strong concensus that they are PD, only same desperate claims by deletionists as in PD-Denmark 50. So, can you take look at Finland 50 and Sweden photo and perhaps close them, as the situation is pretty much same as in PD-Denmark 50. WP:BOLD. I have been looking to this deletionist claim since September 2006, and amazed it's still going. We need to get atleast some decision, so we can keep on improving Wikipedias. --Pudeo 20:39, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

I have been so bold to close both discussions now with same reason. --|EPO| ^da: 00:20, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

It is necessary to delete tag {{Tfd}} from templates PD-Sweden & PD-Finland . (For elegance and conluding :)

Best regards Andros64 07:47, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah.. Forgot about those. Should have gone to bed instead :) --|EPO| ^da: 08:49, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

You are right, but today I've get up early.

All the best. Andros64 16:54, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

{{PD-Iraq}}

Not sure how big you are on copyright law, but would you look at the changes I made to this template and Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Saddam rumsfeld.jpg? I'm not asking you to comment on the deletion request, that's fine, but what effect the new copyright law seems to have on the PD in Iraq? One commentator said the American order is null, and I'm not sure how to proceed. -Nard 00:34, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

I am not big on copyright law and therefore I prefer not to make legal evaluations of license templates. --|EPO| ^da: 08:49, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:Another shot.jpg

Oh, its cool. If you want to delete go ahead. I personally thought that was a cool shot, but oh well. --Zerorules677 16:58, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Star of Life

[1]

Hi, I find the older version to have better colors. :/ See: [2] -- Cat ^chi? 19:34, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

I see your point that the first image's colors seem more true to those at the website. Personally though I believe the second version with a clearer blue looks much better. Looking at e.g. Image:Roskilde I2 right.jpg and Image:RDAF AMB 68.014.jpg shows the use of clearer blue color than the one I tried to replace. It might be due to national differences, but I really do prefer the clearer version. --|EPO| ^da: 08:42, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

More images from Nationalbanken

Would you mind taking a look at image:Kbh uni.jpg and image:dtu.jpg. I'm afraid Heelgrasper didn't read the webpage all way through before uploading these images. Thanks in advance. Valentinian ^(talk) 22:39, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah.. At that time their copyright policy was not read closely enough, so we unfortunately can't use their images.

But next time it might be faster if you tag such images wuth {{Nonderivative}}. --|EPO| ^da: 08:33, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Near East Relief

Near East Relief was a American organization and they published it before 1923 and it is accurate. --Yegoyan 22:18, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Ranma ½-logo

Hej |EPO|

Måske du lige skulle kigge på Image:Ranma logo.png. Jeg har en svær mistanke om, at User:Patriciataijiya har kopieret det fra fra en:Image:Ranma logo.png. Og jeg tvivler i hvert fald gevaldigt på, at det skulle være GFDL og ikke ophavsretsbeskyttet. Serien Ranma ½ er kun 20 år gammel, og logoet er næppe ældre. --Dannebrog Spy 14:58, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Photo of Magnus Andersson

I just uploaded the mailconversation that confirms free use of this and other photos from the source www.cuf.se Is that information enough or should I do something more?Suz 11:20, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

The permission seems almost okay. You should specify what a free license really means, so we can be 100 % sure that they agree to publish the photo under such license. --|EPO| ^da: 11:33, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I'll do that, thanx! Suz 12:01, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

BMW Historical Images

Hi EPO, I am communicating with BMW Historical Archives to get the author information to prevent deletion. I have made significant contributions and am currently constructing articles related to BMW history. I will keep you posted on my progress. Qwazywabbit 16:15, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Image:Joe morgan cropped.jpg

Can you look at this again? I'm pretty sure I just cropped a CC-BY image from Flickr, and attributed it as such. The source URL [3] indicates the license is compatible with Commons. --W.marsh 17:09, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

and Image:Johnny bench cropped.jpg. I don't think either of these were copyvios, just cropped versions of free Flickr images, which confused the bot. --W.marsh 17:11, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Both are copyright violations as the Flickr user does not own the copyright to the images. The images are taken from a family member's footage. As the Flickr user does not own the copyright he has no right to release them under Creative Commons. Some of the images are stated to be from 1983 therefore the real copyright holder can easily still be alive. --|EPO| ^da: 14:08, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

How could you know that? It just indicates that they're old family pictures, which presumably he took since he's uploading them and releasing the rights. Maybe this is a language thing, if I say "here are some old family pictures", it doesn't necessarily mean they were taken by members of my family and not me, it more likely means I took them while with my family. At any rate, isn't a non-speedy deletion called for here so we could clear this up? --W.marsh 14:41, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

The collection contains at least one image of the user himself. There are plenty of Flickr cases where users upload other people's copyrighted material and release these under a free license without any proof of permission. I see this no different.

Feel free to start a discussion at Commons:Undeletion requests. --|EPO| ^da: 20:17, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

PD-Italy

Hi! I just noticed you've closed the discussions regarding Commons:Deletion requests/Template:PD-Finland50, Commons:Deletion requests/Template:PD-Sweden-photo and Commons:Deletion_requests/Template:PD-Denmark50. I was thinking to ask for reverting the decision taken on Commons:Deletion_requests/Template:PD-Italy accordingly (also PD-Italy is related to "pictures that cannot be considered works of art"), but I would like to ask your opinion first, since there has been a lot of flames in the past about that. Cheers,

--Rutja76 13:18, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I would prefer not touching that discussion. As you notice it has brought some very strong feelings up in some people. But if you really feel that you can make a useful contribution with an argument - which have not been presented yet - and honostly believe your arguments may change the decision, then it is your duty as a community member to do so :) --|EPO| ^da: 15:52, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes I understand. My argument is simple: PD-Finland and PD-Italy are very similar, thus it's not understandable why the former is accepted and the latter rejected by Commons. However, I still have to think of a solid statement before facing such a flaming issue :) --Rutja76 07:28, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

En lille smule oprydning

Hej EPO. Undskyld ulejligheden, men gider du slette Image:Demo 004.png, Image:Demo 002.png, og Image:Demo 001.png. Lige før Twthmoses forlod Commons røg han ind i en diskussion med en anden bruger og uploadede 4 billeder i protest (han skriver i den tilhørende debat at han ikke er i tvivl om at de er ophavsretsbeskyttede og den Lasse Jensen han henviser til er ham selv). Han har fuldstændig ret i at billederne er ophavsretsbeskyttet, for i alle 4 tilfælde er/var der tale om de officielle tegninger, beskyttet af ophavsretsloven og iht. Patent- og Varemærkestyrelsens regler (ok, nr. 004 er faktisk lidt original, for han har klistret den danske kongekrone på et norsk kommunevåben, men dén udgave af kronen er tegnet af Fr. Britze og hans værker er stadig ophavsretsbeskyttede). "Demo 003" er allerede slettet, men gider du fjerne de andre 3? Mvh. Valentinian ^(talk) 21:45, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Tak for oplysningen. Jeg har sørget for at slette de tre billeder nu. --|EPO| ^da: 13:15, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Image:Dk50.jpg

Hej EPO/Archive6

Ovenstående billede er vist ikke helt lovligt i henhold til dansk lov. --Broadbeer 14:33, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Det bruges på den spanske, danske, svenske og tyske wiki. --Broadbeer 14:35, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Måske der også lige skulle ses på de færøske sedler i Category:Bills of Denmark. Nationalbanken skriver i øvrigt følgende om emnet på dansk og engelsk. Her står bla.a.: "Det er en overtrædelse af straffeloven, hvis pengesedler gengives, så de kan forveksles med ægte pengesedler." Om det er tilfældet her kan vel diskuteres, men generelt bør vi holde os fra enhver ting, der kan bringe os i konflikt med den danske og færøske straffelovgivning. Så slet hellere straks og slå fast i kategorien at sådanne billeder ikke er tilladt. --Dannebrog Spy 20:03, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Jeg mener at huske at der var en skabelon til danske sedler som netop blev slettet herinde da man jo ikke må ændre i pengesedler (eller billedkopier af dem). --Broadbeer 21:11, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Er der nogensinde nogen der har kontaktet Nationalbanken, enten for at få dem til at frigive "acceptable" billeder, eller for at forespørge på egne billeder eller uddrag heraf? G®iffen 16:12, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Ved jeg ikke, men se evt. denne side. (skrev Broadbeer)

Uploaderen User:Panelinput har i øvrigt brugt skabelonen PD-Self, men at vedkommende skulle have ophavsretten er helt sikkert ikke tilfældet. Endnu en grund til hurtig sletning. --Dannebrog Spy 08:49, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

SVG

Hej EPO/Archive6

Hvad gør man når Image:Kaiserliche Kriegsflagge.png er blevet "overgået" af Image:War Ensign of Germany 1903-1918.svg? --Broadbeer 16:02, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Man gør dette. Men for at undgå 3. verdenskrig indstilles billedet ikke til sletning som standard. Hvis du er af den overbevisning, at .png-udgaven er overflødig, indstil da billedet til sletning på sædvanlig vis. --|EPO| ^da: 17:28, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok tak, nu er der vist ikke flere overlevne fra det omperium til at starte krigen ;). --Broadbeer 08:21, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Jose Garzón, close to vandalism

Hi!

I'd like you to check the edits of Jose Garzón, which I'd regard as close to vandalism.

Without any discussion he is erasing the definitions in Catalan of Valencian towns (as he did in Ibi[4]) he is also changing the categories using a province political division instead of the traditional Valencian comarca [5].

I warned him in English [6] to discuss his changes, but he replied in Spanish [7] givig as an excuse his ignorance of English to keep acting as he does.

Notice please that, since yesterday, he's changing a lot of Valencian articles and categories to its Spanish names, so this matter should be settled immediately. --Casaforra (parlem-ne) 20:20, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

I am no expert in Catalan, Valencia, Spain or any of similar matters. But I do feel that a user should discuss this matter, as I understand the subject can be very personal. In case user does not understand English it should of course be explained in a language he understands. At this point a warning has been given and user should be blocked if he fails to follow the guidelines. --|EPO| ^da: 15:54, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Vedr. billede med skilt

Davs EPO, ville du finde motivet/indholdet (mht. synligheden af logoerne) i dette billede problematisk såfremt jeg uploadede det til Commons?--Froztbyte 22:08, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Jeg ville mene, at logoerne er lidt for fremtrædende i denne forbindelse. Der fokuseres af naturlige årsager på skiltet. Desværre med den ulempe, at man ikke rigtig kan se noget til omgivelserne. Populært sagt skal man have en "god undskyldning" for at vise logoerne, hvilket man ofte kan ved at sørge for at få omgivelser med. F.eks. tog jeg Image:OB-sponsor.JPG, der måske nok kan diskuteres :)

Kig lidt omkring og se, om du ikke kan fange skiltet fra en anden vinkel eller i en større kontekst. --|EPO| ^da: 18:16, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Sletning af Arto-logo.png

Hej EPO.

Jeg er ved en fejl kommet til at uploade Arto-logo.png og troede at den ville blive slettet efter en uge - det var i hvert fald den automatiske besked fra botten (se licensskabelonen ved billedet). Det er ikke tilfældet, så jeg ønsker den slettet, da jeg misforstod lidt - der er noget copyright på billedet, så den kan kun være på den danske wikipedia (hvor jeg har fået lov til at uploade den).

Håber du kan hjælpe mig lidt her. På forhånd mange tak! --Anigif 00:11, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Hvis filen ikke er tilladt på Commons er den højst sandsynlig heller ikke tilladt på den danske Wikipedia! --Broadbeer 10:54, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Filen afventer sletning, men da op til flere hundrede billeder hver dag skal slettes, kan der hurtigt opstå ekstra ventetid inden man når gennem lige nøjagtig dette billedes kø.

Når billedet ikke er frit, må det ikke anvendes på dansk Wikipedia. Det kan muligvis tillades på engelsk Wikipedia i en lav opløsning med tilstrækkelig kildeangivelse og den rette argumentation.

Men jeg vil sørge for at slette billedet fra Wikimedia Commons med det samme. --|EPO| ^da: 14:09, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Mange tak! Er det heller ikke tilladt på Dansk Wikipedia, hvis jeg har fået lov til at uploade det af Arto.dk ApS (med den betingelse at jeg angiver at det er copyright Arto.dk ApS)? --Anigif 15:49, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Som det er beskrevet på oplægningssiden, så skal der tillades uindskrænket kopiering, redigering og kommercielt brug. Hvis de kan gå med til alle disse tre betingelser, må billedet anvendes. Hvis de tillader dette, så angiver vi gerne, at de ejer de resterende rettigheder. --|EPO| ^da: 17:03, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

photo of kevin macdonald

Hi EPO, The photo you inqured about is taken from macdonald's website at http://www.csulb.edu/~kmacd/ On April 2005, I sent an email to him asking for permission to use it in wikipedia. He replied the same day in the affirmitive. Perhaps I didn't source or state its status correctly ( think I stated it correctly, but perhaps not) Can you make the required changes using this information--I think a photo adds a lot to a bio and should not be delteted.

I'm confused about how one gets photos of famous historical figures, when perhaps only a couple of photos are available to the public, should be sourced. If the photo appeared frequently in public sources, without copywrite notices, isn't it in the public domain? As another one I am concerned about along the lines, is the one for Nobel Prize winner, William Shockley, which was recently deleted. I'd appreciate any insight you could give me. And I've read the Wikipedia:Image copyright tags article, which didn't seem to cover either of these cases. DonSiano 21:30, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

If nothing else is stated a image is always copyrighted, you don't have to write it. --Broadbeer 16:29, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Sletning af dubletkategori

Hej EPO. Jeg har tømt Category:Mountains of Macedonia, der er dublet (fejl-navngivet) til Category:Mountains of the Republic of Macedonia. Vil du godt slette den tomme/forkert navngivne kategori? Jeg opgav at finde den rette skabelon at sætte på - og bagefter vente i laaang tid. M.v.h. --Brams 21:20, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
