Re:Deletion Review

Am presently trying to find out if the photo was published in Life--going through Google Books. Life was very pro-active about renewing its back issue copyrights. Think I've only seen one issue that slipped through "the cracks" as far as renewal goes and the issue in question was June 19, 1944. A few days ago, I'd advised the person about Life issues being regularly renewed. Let me give finding the photo in Life a try and then I'll comment at the DR page.

Thanks for uploading File:Mt. Holly Plantation house, built in 1840, still occupied. Near Foote, Mississippi.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Re: Photo location

Hello. I didn't tag the location on File:Markham-suburbs aerial-edit2.jpg, user:Lycaon did it in this edit. I don't know from where he took the coordinates. Sorry for *not* (edit) being of better help. Sting (talk) 15:22, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello. As indicated in the "Source" section of the image, File:Markham-suburbs_aerial-edit2.jpg is an edited version (sharpness, contrast and saturation) of the original photograph File:Markham-suburbs_id.jpg taken by IDuke. He is the contributor you have to contact to get further information about the location. Unfortunately he seems to be inactive for a while... and user:Lycaon (the one who added the location) who is now User:Biopics has been permanently blocked one month ago!

It looks like you're on your own on this one to find the exact location because I only made the post-processing on the image and don't have more information that the one given by the original photograph (which btw has no location details). Good luck. Sting (talk) 14:21, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

Luminaries of Panthiesm Mural Picture

Hi there. I missed the deletion discussion regarding https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Luminaries_of_Pantheism_Venice_Mural.jpg. I hold the copyright for both the image and the mural. What should I do? Thanks. NaturaNaturans (talk)

To clarify, I hold the copyright/license to the artwork. Please advise on how we should proceed. NaturaNaturans (talk)

There is a way to send confirmation of the copyright. I'm not sure how to do it. Leave a message at the Village Pump. You should get an answer. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:52, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Re:Copyright

If you noticied, the file is licensed as {{PD-USGov}}, and as a arrest photograph, the primary source is very likely to be the US Federal Government, therefore, no copyvio. If the work is not from the US Federal Government (like a State entity), it may be discussed via a normal DR, but a copyvio tag is totally inapropiate. --Amitie 10g (talk) 23:58, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Newspaper Logos

Hello Magnolia677, some hours ago you reported several of my files for copyright violation. I am not sure why they would violate copyright, since most of them consist only of letters (e.g. The Wall Street Journal, The Denver Post, The News Journal) or have been in use for a very long time (Tampa Bay Times, Newsday, The San Diego Union-Tribune, Honolulu Star Advertiser). Did I upload it in the wrong format? I hope you can explain it to me. Thanks. --Adrio (talk) 08:28, 16 October 2016 (UTC) Adrio (talk) 08:28, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Yes, but an administrator removed my speedy delete notice from your file, so in fact it may not violate copyright. I'll wait for a response at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard#Copyright violations, but my apologies in advance if I am incorrect. Magnolia677 (talk) 09:53, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

What's the reason you are requesting to delete this picture? The picture is in a location called Wynwood Walls in Miami, and people are encouraged to visit and take pictures. Have you been there? Did you take a good look at the picture? There are trees and soil, the picture is placed side up so you can visualize it better without having to turn your head.

Photo requests of schools in the Mississippi Delta

Hi! Do you go down to the Mississippi Delta sometimes? If so, I can give you a list of photo ideas. Some schools in the Delta are architecturally significant and/or were significant in the Civil Rights struggle.

Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 04:11, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: Thanks for writing. I wish I could help, but don't plan on driving the Delta for a while. I have pics of an abandoned school in w:Silver City, Mississippi (I think it was in Silver City, though I can't the school on Google satellite); also have pics of this school and this school. I've actually photographed a lot of lesser-known locations in the South with a connection to the Civil Rights Movement, see the Safe House (w:Greensboro, Alabama); I wrote and have photos of w:Holt Street Baptist Church; see Valley Queen Missionary Baptist Church at w:Marks, Mississippi; see photo of w:R.

Why are you requesting a deletion of picture of Trethevy Mill Rocky Valley.jpg?

I was on holiday in Cornwall and we stayed in Port Isaac. We were visiting Tintagel and Boscastle and we stopped for a walk in Rocky Valley. I took the shot from the bridge where the footpath crosses the river after the mill. I have a dozen or so pictures to corrobrate this walk. The picture was taken with my Sony RX 100 Mark III on Friday Oct 5th 2018. The bridge is an obvious point for a good shot and just because we had the same motive does not mean it is fraus. I work in regulatory affairs and I am actually quite offended by this. Kmtextor (talk) 18:34, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

How to change / make new image of OpenStreetMap (neighborhood boundary)?

Hello Magnolia,

Can you refer me to anything on how to change or make a new image for OpenStreetMap in order to adjust the neighborhood boundary shown? This is related to the Washington Heights image because the reason I did that is that I was trying to fix the OpenStreetMap image that is there (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Heights,_Manhattan). It does not reflect what is generally considered to be the neighborhood nor what is said in the article itself. So I am trying to figure out how to edit the OpenStreetMap boundary.

Thanks so much!

File:Edmund L Gettier III ca 1960s umass v2.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation

The website https://1000wordphilosophy.com/2014/04/10/the-gettier-problem/ is using the original Family picture I published on 14 April 2021 File:https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Edmund_L_Gettier_III_ca_1960s_umass.jpg. The updated picture https:File://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Edmund_L_Gettier_III_ca_1960s_umass_v2.jpg published 16 April 2021 is an improved version of the that family photo without the imperfection. Both copies are family photos and owned and published myself. It is not clear to me how to proceed. Can you advise? Please note, the family has been working with websites to correct an inaccuracy. The following website has a picture which scattered around the internet, that is inaccurate and not my father: https://thesymposiummagazinedotcom.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/26369_edmund_gettier.jpg. That 1000wordphilospophy just updated the picture to the one I posted on Wikipedia 14 April 2021. Using the waybackmachine.com and going to November 28,2020 on the https://1000wordphilosophy.com/2014/04/10/the-gettier-problem/ site (e.g. https://web.archive.org/web/20201128172141/https://1000wordphilosophy.com/2014/04/10/the-gettier-problem/), you can inspect the code (F12 on most browsers) and validate the actual picture they used on 11/28/2020 was https://1000wordphilosophy.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/edmund-gettier.jpg, which incorrect nor the one I published 14 April. They updated this picture with the one I posted on Wiki originally at my request. Again, it is not clear to me how to proceed. Can you advise? DaveGettier (talk) 14:30, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

You may want to ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright. Magnolia677 (talk) 14:35, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Thankyou I posted there. That picture has been in my family for over 50 years. I do hope we can rectify this issue. DaveGettier (talk) 18:44, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Images You Flagged for Copyright Are Used by Permission from Copyright Holder

User:Johnson1964 (talk) 1:33, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello Magnolia,

You flagged two photos for deletion because of copyright violation. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Johnson1964#File%3ASam-Richter-Hall-of-Fame-Sales-Keynote-Speaker.jpg

Both of these images have been provided by the copyright owner, Sam Richter, and he has provided permission for their use. If you have any questions, you can email him at sam@samrichter.com

Can you please edit the images so they are in compliance with Wikipedia?

Thanks so much!

Re:File:Jimmy Smith 1960.jpeg

The image you flagged for deletion is in the public domain. The newspaper was published by the United States Army and is therefore in the public domain. Furthermore, on page two it specifically notes that the Star Presidian uses non-copyright material and permits its reissue. —Halvorsen brian (talk) 10:47, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Category:Tragic Prelude

Just an FYI on reverting my edit on File:Kansas Governor Sam Brownback (left) and U.S. Secretary of Education --Arne Duncan observe a mural at the Kansas State Capitol in 2012.jpg. I removed Category:Flags of the Confederate States in art from that image because I added a new category, Category:Tragic Prelude. That's the title of the mural that Brownback and Duncan are looking at. Flags of the Confederate States in Art is one of the mural's categories. — WFinch (talk) 21:00, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
