Arequipa

Many of the images uploaded are my property, they were posted by others on the internet because I participe in internet forums such as Skyscrapercity and Skycraperlife were I posted originally (my images are everywhere); which are not of my authorship were allowed to be uploaded by their own authors.

Spanish: Muchas de la imágenes borradas son de mi propiedad que fueron colgadas por otras personas en la internet y las que no lo son fueron autorizadas de ser subidas.

--Cmonzonc (talk) 03:05, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Refer to individual files and provide evidence that you published them first. I myself controlled for such possibilities too. I for example see the possibility with File:Arequipa, vista panoramica.jpg=[1], although your posting on skyscrapercity must not mean that you are the author because for example the first church image you posted on that skyscrapercityposting is again a copy of someone else work and also the last image of the monastery in that posting is someone else work and demonstrably not yours. Looks like you ignor copyrights not only here but also on other websites, be careful what you mean with "I posted originally". --Martin H. (talk) 10:13, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Raveonpragha

This is so sad and revolting. He not only forgave the copytefth, but even offered to give more images, and all the other crook has done was to revert him. I wrote the guy now asking if he's still interested in releasing the images, though after 4 years, he may not even be using the same email anymore. :\ -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 03:10, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Im not sure if he this photos. He is not carying about authorship and copyrights, so unlikely he ever contested (or will be able to do so) in photography on a professional level. At some level you will take care of your own rights and of other photographers rights. --Martin H. (talk) 10:36, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Hm... He has a website dedicated to professional photography running ever since that skyscraper post you found (the image was credited to him there), and has a well concurred Flickr stream... I see no reason to doubt his good faith, really. :\ -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 10:44, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

You've understood that I'm not talking about Raveonpragha, but about Bernardo García, right?-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 10:49, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Ah, now I see. I not looked who posted it, I thought it was a posting by Raveonpragha, but now I see it is an IP complainting utilizaaste una imagen mia. Yes, maybe you should ask him if he wants to donate some Guadalajara photos, we need good photos of that city. --Martin H. (talk) 15:52, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

I wrote him, and he was very keen to donate some images, yes, but from his last message that I've not answered yet it is clear that he doesn't want commercial use of his photos, so I've not much hope on that one. :\ -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 23:39, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Talk & Paul Weyers

Hallo Martin, da du Deutsch als Muttersprache angibst, hoffe ich, es ist ok, wenn ich auf Deutsch schreibe, denn ich bin gerade völlig überfordert. Ich verstehe weder die Funktionalität dieses talk-back, noch das, was ich mit dem Foto machen soll? talk-back: ja, ich habe verstanden, dass ich eigentlich auf meiner talk Seite anworten sollte aber ich habe nicht kapiert, wie ich dir kenntlich mache, dass dort eine Antwort ist und wo ich welchen Source-Code einfügen soll?! - Also sorry, ich hoffe, das klappt auch so. Ich arbeite nicht mit Commons und habe mich hier nie damit beschäftigt, was wo wie gemacht werden soll. Foto: Was muss ich da machen? Und WIE? Ich habe doch angegeben, dass es sich um ein offizielles Pressefoto handelt. Das ist über 40 Jahre alt, wie soll ich herausfinden, wer das wann wo gemacht hat? Ich hatte das Originalfoto, auf der Rückseite war nichts angegeben außer eben "Pressefoto" Was für Kategorien? Das sind doch eine Menge angegeben (was ich gar nicht gemacht habe)? Was muss denn da noch zu? Wie gesagt, sorry, ich verstehe nicht viel davon. Ich habe damals, als ich den Artikel verfasst habe, einige Zeit darauf verwendet, wie das mit den Fotos funkioniert und alles nach bestem Wissen und Gewissen gemacht. Aber auch mein Mentor konnte mir damals nicht weiterhelfen.... --Worthüterin (talk) 10:09, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Die Kategorien-Geschichte habe ich nicht auf deine Seite geschrieben, soll jetzt auch nicht weiter Interessieren. Das Urheberrecht erlischt 70 Jahre nach dem Tod des Urhebers. Das Bild auf Commons muss frei sein, dass heißt der Urheber muss Jedem - nicht nur Wikipedia - ein unbeschränktes Nutzungsrecht einräumen welches die Verwendung des Bildes zu jedem Zweck erlaubt - nicht nur die Verwendung zur aktuellen Berichterstattung wie für "Pressebilder" üblich. Um zu bestätigen, dass der Urheber einer freien Verwendung zugestimmt hat sollst du eine schriftliche Freigabe des Urhebers an COM:OTRS/de weiterleiten. Wenn der Urheber dir unbekannt ist, ist das Schade, ändert aber nichts an den Erfordernissen. Siehe auch de:Wikipedia:Bildrechte#Fremde_Aufnahmen. --Martin H. (talk) 10:20, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Checkuser request

Can you do me a favour and run a checkuser against the account User:CyrusLovatoSwift versus User:NicoLovato2010. It's just very suspicious that both of them would upload practically the same image called File:TaylorSwift2011.jpg. Tabercil (talk) 02:30, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi, what if this is true? apparently this is authors website, don't you think that we needed some kind of verification like OTRS from the first place? although user's contributors confirms that they are from Poland.   ■ MMXX  ^talk  13:46, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

a person of unusual talents

Hello, I have noticed that you are a person of unusual talents here.

Perhaps you could take a look at Flowers by color. The subcategories there are a terrible mess with images appearing in both the subcategory and in the species which are subcategorized there.

Please, don't bother with any "talk" or "talk back" messages or templates or what have you as this actually doesn't appear to be one of your special talents here.

Regardless of your yay or nay to the challenge I presented here, thanks for the very thorough work you have accomplished here. -- Queeg (talk) 01:04, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

File:Aussenansicht der neuen Unternehmenszentrale "Platform" von Ernst & Young Schweiz in Zürich.jpg has been marked as a copyright violation

Hallo Martin. Besten Dank für die rasche Antwort. Ich arbeite für Ernst & Youn Schweiz, weswegen ich dieses Bild mit unserem Wikipedia-Eintrag verlinken will. Die Veröffentlichung unter Wikimedia ist mit unserer PR Verantwortlichen abgesprochen. Die Quellenangaben habe ich so verstanden, dass ich dieses Bild im Namen von Ernst & Young Schweiz freigebe, da ich hier nicht als Privatperson handle, sondern im Namen der Unternehmung. Kannst Du mir bitte kurz erläutern, wie ich vorgehen muss, damit das Bild nun entsprechend freigeschaltet wird? Beste Grüsse Stefan Iff --stefaniff (talk) 11:50, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Du hast den Special:UploadWizard verwendet und dort ganz offensichtlich im Schritt "Release rights" die falsche Option gewählt. This file is not my own work ist die Richtige. Im weiteren Verlauf des Uploads must du dann den Urheber bzw. Rechteinhaber und die Quelle (Veröffentlichung oder veröffentlichende Stelle) angeben und eine Lizenz auswählen. Dieser Lizenz muss der Urheber/Rechteinhaber zugestimmt haben. Bezugnehmend auf de:Datei:Platform Aussenansicht 2.jpg: Stell sicher, dass der Rechteinhaber einverstanden ist, dass das Bild von Jedem, nicht nur Wikipedia, genutzt werden darf zu jedem Zweck einschließlich kommerzieller Zwecke.

Southern Sudan SVG

Hello Martin H, only after moving this file again I noticed this. But the file can't be kept as it was, as there is no prediction for when that bug will be solved, and meanwhile it will become unusable in every article it is used. There are images from mid June in that situation, waiting for the server to update them. "Being patient" for weeks really is not practical in the least. Regards, -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 12:15, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

its still a temporary problem and not a reason to rename the file. --Martin H. (talk) 12:20, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

It ceases to be temporary when it lasts for weeks, and we are talking here about high traffic articles due to the recent changing of the borders of those countries. The people on bugzilla currently have no clue bout why that is happening and when it will stop happening. I believe our priority should be to best serve the projects that use our images, and not to follow the rules strictly when following those rules only causes damage, as in this case. It may be moved back to the old name when the bug is resolved, anyways.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 12:25, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Thats a bad timing of course, but still a temporary problem. Wikipedia is not written in one day and such bad technical problems cant be a reason to rename lots of files. In the long run this renames will only make things worser. Therefore: Dont forget to move it back. --Martin H. (talk) 12:40, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I agree, and I've done it only twice, both cases relating with South Sudan. It should only be done if there is a compelling reason for the current version to be shown. Unfortunately this is the case of every image that is overwritten with a copyvio, for instance, as well as a number of other similar situations. I've raised the damage this is causing at Commons at Bugzilla, and they finally raised the bug priority to critical. But as far as I know they still don't have the least clue about what is causing it, so we will have to deal with it in the meanwhile. :\ -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 12:46, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

I notified you that you uploaded a picture with the option "its entirely my own work" that in fact is not your own work. You uploaded an unfree picture. Pay attention to copyrights please. --Martin H. (talk) 17:03, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Bonjour LaLaLa

I demand to be unblocked. The reason some of the picture I have uploaded have bizarre sources is because the new upload wizard only gives one option for a source, as opposed to an individual one for each piece of media. This is stupid. I joined a month ago =\ what on earth is this about. As I said, I demand to be unblocked on the pure fact that the contributions I have made have been most helpful as well as in pure good faith. (copied and pasted from my own page.

Bonjour !

I have 3 questions.

1. Why do you remove the license "public domaine" for the "File:Georgescu01.jpg" in roumanian commons ?
2. Why english wikipedia (like roumanian) can have this photo [2] and not danish, french and georgian wikipedias ?
3. Do you must remove this photo from english and roumanian wikipedia ? Otherwise why ?

Persistent bug

Check that after you move the image File:LocationSudan.svg, the server not refresh it! check here the image that should be shown. I think that before making the move should be deleted the redirection or the destination name. See that other file that is the same File:LocationSudanN.svg Regards Shooke ^{(Talk me in spanish, english or italian)} 00:52, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Is this picture "own work" or not?

I have just seen you had deleted and delinked this file File:PrinceDiamondandPearlTour.jpg.

Same question for File:1999.png, as it claims to be "derived from a poster used to promote Prince's 1999 Tour" ("tiré d'une affiche faisant la promotion de la tournée 1999 de Prince").

In my view, this is either Own Work/Original Research and thus irrelevant in the corresponding articles, or derived work, and not copyright-free.

Best regards. --Azurfrog (talk) 17:05, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Irrelevant for the articles means it is Commons:Fan art without beeing close enough to the original, then it is out of scope of Commons. If it is to derivative then it is copyright violation. A deletion request must clearify this. --Martin H. (talk) 17:53, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Done... hopefully, as I can't find back my request in the list of the July requests (matter of fact, I never expected these requests to be well north of 1,000, just for July!). Maybe I have forgotten about putting a "timestamp" on it (whatever that may be), or I don't know what? --Azurfrog (talk) 23:12, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Its on the day log, see Special:WhatLinksHere/File:1999.png. The month logs are useless because the template inclusion limit is reached between 11 and 13 of each month. --Martin H. (talk) 23:17, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Dear Martin H.

I am writing about the photo Jurga_receives_MTV_EMA_music_award.jpg. I'd like to ask you to restore the image. This image is photographied by myself as I was the manager and chief of the record label of singer Jurga (which is in the image) and accompanied her in MTV European Music Awards in Munich 2007. We have used the picture for promotional purposes.

So, I hereby assert that <text removed>

PS: Regarding the rest images that you deleted: • O Meile CD.jpg • Beribiam Danguje CD.jpg • Aukso pieva specialus leidimas CD.jpg • Aukso pieva CD.jpg I have sent already the permissions and licences to Permissions - Wikimedia Commons <permissions-commons@wikimedia.org>. Hope all this helps to restore mentioned images as soon as possible.

I shortened your text. Forward it to COM:OTRS (you said you did already) and refer to the filename. Once the permission is received OTRS will undelete the file. --Martin H. (talk) 23:03, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

AjaxMassDelete - Neue Features

Bedienungsanleitung, Wünsche und Probleme

Danke für das entgegengebrachte Vertrauen.

Ich würde empfehlen, es nun nur noch "on demand" laden zu lassen, denn es ist inzwischen ziemlich umfangreich. Das ist kein Muss, sondern lediglich ein Vorschlag um die Performance zu verbessern. Das führt dazu, dass das Skript nicht bei jedem Seitenaufruf, sondern nur noch beim Anklicken geladen wird.

So wird's gemacht: In User:Martin H./monobook.js bitte

importScript("User:Rillke/AjaxMassDelete.js");

mit

addPortletLink('p-tb', 'javascript:{importScript(\'User:Rillke/AjaxMassDelete.js\'); void(0);}', "Perform batch task", 't-AjaxQuickDeleteOnDemand', null);

ersetzen.

Das war's. Danke. -- RE rillke questions? 20:08, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Schon erledigt, das Tool ist wirklich sehr hilfreich. --Martin H. (talk) 20:10, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Sieht nach ein ziemlich gleichmäßig langweiligen Aufgabe aus.but maybe have a look at User talk:Category-bot, there a few tool listed. -- RE rillke questions? 08:01, 23 August 2011 (UTC) Inzwischen kann das Script auch (wenn es noch nicht da steht) Dateien in Kategorien "(be-)handeln". Dazu einfach eine Kategorie besuchen und dann "perform batch task" (Bei LAs werden allerdings die Uploader noch nicht benachrichtigt aber das folgt noch, ebenso ein automatisches clean-up; dazu habe ich schon User:Magog the Ogre seines Know-hows wegen angepingt)

Damit ist es möglich, wenn man z.B. eine Kategorie entfernen möchte, "custom replace" oben als Aufgabe auszuwählen und anschließend lässt man [[Category:Xyz]] durch ein Leerzeichen ersetzen.

Noch einen Guten Abend wünscht der Rillke. -- RE rillke questions? 21:14, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Da steht nicht von "free" oder "unfree", nur von CC! Und "CC-BY-NC-SA-3.0-DE" ist eine Creative Commons license! a×p_de^Hello! 22:08, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Bitte schau dir den Kategorienbaum dort an, die Kategorie ist unter den Freien Lizenzen einsortiert, Category:Free licenses. Ich führe keinen "Kreuzzug" gegen irgendeine Variante, nur gegen die

• unnötige - die Kategorien sind Wartungskategorien für Lizenzen die dem Commons-Projektrahmen entsprechen, alle zusätzliche ist Privatkram den ich dir nicht nehmen möchte, der aber mit dem Projektrahmen nichts zu tun hat
• und falsche/irreführende - es handelt sich im Sinne des Projektrahmens von Commons nicht um eine freie Lizenzen, folglich ist eine Sortierung in Lizenzkategorien die als frei eingeordnet sind unrichtig

Kategorisierung diese Variante. --Martin H. (talk) 22:25, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Dann ist aber die ganze Kategorie Category:Creative Commons licenses falsch unter Category:Free licenses einsortiert, da es schließlich auch (nach wmf-Lesart) "unfree" CC licenses gibt. Ich verstehe Dein Anliegen, aber hier wird an der falschen Stelle korrigiert. a×p_de^Hello! 08:43, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

P.S.: Warum zwingt uns die wmf eigentlich, nur "freie" Lizenzen zu akzeptieren, während ihr eigenes Logo streng reglementiert ist?!? a×p_de^Hello! 08:49, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Die können schreiben, was sie wollen. Das Logo ist {{PD-shape}} und nicht mehr. Im COM:VP hat sich mal einer die Mühe gemacht die ganzen Logos und ihre Ursprünge zu erforschen und heraus kam, dass die wenigsten den angegebenen Urheberrechtsschutz genießen, da sie entweder zu einfach sind oder derivatives von CC-By-SA - Bildern sind. -- RE rillke questions? 09:18, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Martin, File:600px-Wikimedia-ale.svg.png und etliche andere sind dezeit im Kategoriebaum unter Category:Unfree copyright statuses einsortiert, da gehören die dann aber auch nicht hin, da sie ja zumeist {{PD-shape}} sind! a×p_de^Hello! 12:37, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Ich kann deiner Argumentation nicht folgen, was hat die womöglich falsche Lizenzierung anderer Bilder mit der (unnötigen) Kategorisierung von unfreien Lizenzen zu tun? Lass den Baustein auf deinen Bildern so das Nachnutzer das Bild unter der NC-Lizenz nutzen können. Aber entferne die Kategorie, da NC nichts ist was im Interesse von Commons:Kategorien#Kategoriestruktur liegt: die NC-Lizenz ist keine unter Lizenzbaustein aufgeführte geeignete Lizenz. --Martin H.

photo permission

I'm working on the page for Kevin Lau and uploaded his photo to the commons and have photo permission I am supposed to send. I don't know how to send this photo permission according to a wiki mail message sent to me which contains this:

Kevin Lau posted a CC copyright for this photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/drkevinlau/5082755198/in/photostream

Kevin Lau sent me an email with this message I could forward to someone: "the photo is Attribution-ShareAlike the photographer gave me full rights to the photos taken once shot".

Can you please help me get this photo permission to the right person if it is not you?  : ) Thank you. Suzwriter (talk) 18:10, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

The photo on flickr is licensed under a non-commercial license, thats unfree. Also the flickr user, the depicted person, unlikely can grant any license for the photo, the copyright belongs to the photographer, not the subject of the photo.

Hi. I can not write the exact name of the source to be in Pashto and I have no keyboard Pashto and do not know how to write in that language.

In Afghanistan, no one can claim copyright for work done by people of that country in that country because there is no copyright law.

As said above I'd appreciate it you take away the ads you placed. Thanks again.

Hola. Yo no puedo escribir el nombre exacto de la fuente por estar en pashto y yo no tengo teclado en pashto y no sé cómo escribir en ese idioma.

En Afganistán nadie puede reclamar copyright por un trabajo hecho por personas de ese país en ese mismo país debido a que no hay ley de copyright.

"Made" is not the point. "First published" is the requirement. You not provide any evidence for that. You have a picture of an afghan person and claim, that the picture was first published in Afghanistan. Thats utter nonsense. --Martin H. (talk) 18:21, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Aditionally its not taken from some magazine by you. You only grabbed the image from the internet. In fact you not care about where it was first published you just make some random claims.

Hello Martin,
Would it be possible for you to have a look at my request concerning the problematic contributions of this user? He has been blocked three times (including two by you) for importing files under copyright or without a realistic license. He still continues to load those images despite given explanations, which leads to very time-consuming tracking of his interventions to mark these images as copyvios. Regards Moumou82 (talk) 07:52, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Y no sé que bicho te pica para querer hacer lo que hacés. Estás muy enfermo loco.

--Diego HC (talk) 01:56, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

@Martin, für das obige habe ich ihn ermahnt. In der Vergangenheit hatte es ähnliche Fälle gegeben, wo die Bilder dann offenbar doch o.k. waren, teils via OTRS. Allerdings hatte ich ihm damals schon gesagt, er solle Vorpublikationen auf der Bild-Seite eintragen, um Irrtümer zu vermeiden. Zu den aktuellen Bildenr kann ich natürlich nichts sagen. --Túrelio (talk) 06:41, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Unwahrscheinlich.

Hello, sorry for the copyright. I imported the image when I saw that File:NeumannErich.jpg, File:LeibbrandtGeorg.jpg, File:KritzingerFriedrich.jpg, and en:File:Joseph-meisinger.jpg use the same source and the same license. Bloody-libu (talk) 15:55, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Looks like users overthere on en.wp and fr.wp got it wrong. The Neumann photo is by Heinrich Hoffman, not public domain untill at least 2028. The Leibrandt photo is from 1942 and therefore not public domain for any reason. The Meisinger photo can stay on en.wp and only there with that rational that it is PD in the U.S. - although an evidence that it was within the group of sized photographs is completely missing. --Martin H.

Unterstützung erbeten

Lieber Kollege, ich bin mit den hiesigen Regularien nicht vertraut und meine Englischkenntnisse sind nicht mehr ausreichend. Daher erbitte ich deine Hilfe bei der Löschdiskussion Commons:Deletion requests/File:Chelmno Gas Van.jpg‎. Es geht um das Foto eines Autowracks, das 1945 kurzzeitig für die Überreste eines der drei Gaswagen des Vernichtungslagers Chelmno gehalten wurde. Dieser Irrtum wurde noch 1945 aufgeklärt: Tatsächlich war es ein Möbelwagen einer Spedition aus Zeulenroda - schon die Marke Magirus zeigt Fachleuten, dass es nicht zu den von der Fa. Glaubschat umgerüsteten Gas-Fahrzeugen gehört. Ich habe in der Disku noch einen Hinweis auf einen Weblink gegeben, der den Sachverhalt erläutert.

In der deutschen Wikipedia gibt es kein Lemma mehr mit diesem Foto. Von Zeit zu Zeit setzt ein unbedarfter Laie es nochmals ein, aber das Hauptproblem sehe ich darin, dass es in fremdsprachigen Wikis auftaucht und entsprechende Hinweise (teils aus sprachlichen Schwierigkeiten) wenig beachtet werden. Eine Löschung wäre schon deshalb angesagt, weil Holocaustleugner mit diesem unbestreitbar "falschen Foto" Zweifel säen können an der Seriosität des Lemmatextes.

In derr Löschdiskussion bin ich auf einen Benutzer getroffen, der allein die Lizenz und die Verwendung in anderen Wikis als Grund ansieht, eine Löschung abzulehnen. Ich finde diese Argumentation abenteuerlich: Wenn kein Historiker das Foto als Gaswagen anerkennt, darf es hier nicht so weiter unter diesem Begriff gehandelt werden.

Zu meiner Person habe ich auf meiner Benutzerseite das Notwendige gesagt. Für deine Unterstützung wäre ich dir recht dankbar. MfG --Holgerjan (talk) 22:13, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Flickr licensing query

Hi Martin, Different question; still flickr. I've been in contact with a flickr user regarding this photo, and he has changed the licence by stating in the body underneath the photo that he is happy with CC-BY-SA, including pasting the associated graphic into his reply. He didn't change the licence settings for this photo, though. Now I've explained to him how to do this properly in another comment, and then a few days later by flickr mail, but I haven't had any further response. Could you please have a look at the page and let me know whether you would be happy for me to upload this photo to Commons the way things are at the moment? Schwede66 05:14, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Meine Zufriedenheit damit sollte zweitrangig sein. Aber wenn du nach einer zweiten Meinung fragst: Ja, ich würde es als Freie Lizenz ansehen, würde es aber unbedingt auf der Dateiseite (und mit Erläuterung auf der Dateidisk.) mit Flickrreview bestätigen lassen. --Martin H.

Hallo Martin, mich würde gern interessieren, worin die URV bei dieser Datei besteht. Auf Flickr steht CC BY 2.0, wäre also mit Commons kompatibel.

Flickrvio?

Hello, Martin. You recently deleted the file File:Hamidreza Haji Babaei.jpg specifying only "flickrvio". If I remember correctly, the source image was http://www.flickr.com/photos/parmida/5960623820/ and it does not seem like an obvious copyright violation to me. Can you tell me why did you think that the picture is copyrighted by someone else than the Flickr uploader? Thanks, Razvan Socol (talk) 12:29, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Parmida76 is an flickrwashing account of Amir.Hossein.7055. And if you enter the picture to google it is an obvious copyvio from http://www.irna.ir/NewsShow.aspx?NID=30476096. --Martin H. (talk) 13:23, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

I dont know why it is there, maybe someone created the category with copy&pasting categories from the file description to the person category and accidentially also copied a file source category.

Ok, I didnt know about that categorization approach of you when removing the imo straying category on the fly. However, the category is wrong for that person.

I am more active on Wikipedia, so I might need your help. I am trying to upload this file from Flickr but realized it was previously deleted due to copyright violation. Would I be able to upload this, or would it by copyvio? —Wikipedian Penguin (talk) 19:02, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

No, because that flickr user is not the copyright holder. Its a bad flickr user. --Martin H. (talk) 19:28, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

So is Getty Images non-free then? Wikipedian Penguin (talk) 21:27, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Sure, everything is unfree except the copyright holder agreed to free reuse or the copyright expired (Commons:Project scope#Must be freely licensed or public domain). Especially Getty Images is known for chasing copyright violations, but thats not an important criterion to not include their content. --Martin H. (talk) 23:31, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Sletning af billeder.

Til stor frustration har jeg konstateret at du har slettet billeder til "Sofie Carsten Nielsen"'s wikiside. Jeg er en del af Sofie's kampagnestab og har derfor fået komplet grønt lys til at bruge billeder af hende, dette er en intern aftale i partiet. Derfor vil jeg gerne have billederne tilbage på sitet med det samme, det kan simpelthen ikke være rigtigt at Wikipedia Danmark forsinker eller forhindrer os i at opdatere siden her.

1) you are not the author, This file is my own work --> This file is not my own work. Thats the right option, dont provide false information. 2) you need the permission from the copyright holder (by default the photographer) not only that you can use the file, you need the permission that anyone, worldwide, can reuse the file for any purpose including commercial purposes. See Commons:Project scope and Commons:Licensing. --Martin H. (talk) 22:43, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

File source is not properly indicated

Hello dear user, all the media content (photos, audio, video) of the companies that preceded the ABr, are today the very ABr, so the ABr is the owner of the copyrights on the published works of these companies. By a failure of understanding the template that only reads the site content is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Brazil / 2.5 Brazil, but all the media file ABr is also published under these licenses.

The original author of the "file:BR-230 - Abertura.JPG" is the National Agency (Previous ABr), and all the work published by this news agency, now belongs to ABr. I therefore ask that you remove the mark "source is not properly indicated". I thank and good contributions! Hallel (talk) 15:04, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

The license only applies to their websites, not other publications from ABr. Only the website, not all media. --Martin H. (talk) 18:32, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Well, it was reported that the media produced by ABr are licensed in 3.0 Brazil / 2.5 Brazil, and may be used provided that credit was awarded the ABr by the images. Even the indication of the template that says: "This file is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Brazil. This photograph was produced by the Agency Brazil, the public agency news from Brazil". What about the site's content, it should be understood as: newspaper articles, photos, videos and audio. So the entire contents of the site can be published provided they are properly licensed. I must remind you that the ABr is the rights holder of the image in question, and I can publish it by making proper attribution. Anyway I send you a link that tells the origin of the image: http://cienciahoje.uol.com.br/colunas/terra-em-transe/imagens/codigoflorestal03.jpg/view . Thanks in advance. Hallel^Talk 19:16, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

All content is copyrighted in the first place, the copyright holder must give permission in form of a license. The license applies only to the content mentioned in the license. The license at the bottom of http://agenciabrasil.ebc.com.br/ mentions content published on that distinct website. If the image is not published on that website then it is not published under that license. {{ABr}} not refers to any other permission than those permission at the bottom of http://agenciabrasil.ebc.com.br/. You can not use it for any media file that is not taken from that website. --Martin H. (talk) 19:22, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

As I explained to you dear user, the rights to this image belong to ABr / EBC and is allowed to share and remix the images published by ABr / EBC since it assigns the job properly. You should know that there are several images of ABr / EBC published in the Commons and these are fully capable of being used, and posível check them here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Photographs_by_Agencia_Brasil . I tried to find the link ABr / EBC containing the image but it seems that this has already been deleted or is no longer available, but the link that you pointed out, is the picture and its origin. I'm still looking for some other link that provides this information more thoroughly. Thanks in advance. Hallel^Talk 19:53, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

ABr restructured its website sometimes in 2010, therefore many files previously copied from their website are not longer on their website, but they were published there under a free license. For your files you must provide a link to their servers showing that this files were published on their server at the time of your upload here. --Martin H. (talk) 19:55, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

I could not find the link where the photo was available. What I could find was an article very similar to that found the photo, but this did not provide a likely picture. I'll keep looking, but very difficult to find the original photograph. Thanks in advance. Hallel^Talk 20:34, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Fragwürdige Umkategorisierungen durch eine IP

Hallo Martin, unter wechselnden IP-Nummern nimmt ein User seit einiger Zeit Umkategorisierungen vor, zum Beispiel hier, hier und hier. Die Änderungen wurden mehrfach von Turelio und mir reverted, zuletzt heute, woraufhin die IP eben erneut revertete. Mein Eidruck ist, dass er diverse Könige und Kurfürsten (möglicherweise in durchaus guter Absicht) in ein polnisches?/tschechisches? Kat.-System pressen will, das allerdings nicht zum bishergen commons-, de- und en-System passt. Seine vorstehend verlinkten Umbennennungen von Otto V of Bavaria in Otto VII of Bavaria sind nur ein Beispiel ... ich habe insgesamt große Zweifel, ob seine Edits (oder diese, die mit ziemlicher Sicherheit vom selben User stammen) ok sind. Leider mangelt es mir an genügend Kenntnis der Kat-Syteme und auch an der Zeit, mich in all diese Edits einzuarbeiten bzw. sie durchzuprüfen. Ich hatte die Problematik schon einmal im Forum angesprochen, allerrdings ist außer drei punktuellen Reverts durch Turelio nichts weiter passiert. Da so möglicherweise div. Kat.-Systeme (und Zuordnungen - die Kats. stimmen nicht mehr mit den Bildtexten und den interwikilinks in den Bildtexten überein) mehr oder weniger unbemerkt durcheinander geraten, mache ich in dieser Form noch einmal auf die Sache aufmerksam. Gruß --Lienhard Schulz (talk) 15:54, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

PS Ein Problem scheint darin zu liegen, dass in der Category:Otto V of Bavaria momentan sowohl Otto III wie auch Otto V eingeordnet sind. Seltsamerweise sind die anderen Dateien, die sehr wahrscheinlich derselbe User dort eingeordnet hat, in de als Otto III. (Bayern) und en Otto III, Duke of Bavaria zugeordnet ... warum er diese unter Otto V einordnet (wahrscheinlich hat er diese Kat auch selbst angelegt) ist mir irgendwie ein Rätsel. Vielleicht versucht er ja, um das alles "passend" zu machen, die "eigentlichen" OttoV-Dateien ständig unter OttoVII unterzubringen. --Lienhard Schulz (talk) 16:28, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

PSPS Sämtliche (?) Zuordnungen, die hier unter "Otto" (1 bis 7) vorgenommen wurden, scheinen nicht zu stimmen - in allen Stichproben. die ich gemacht habe, stimmen die Dateinamen (und auch die Einbindung der Dateien in diversen WPs, nicht mit den Cat.-Bezeichnungen überein). --Lienhard Schulz (talk) 16:38, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Hab die IP mal angesprochen, erwarte aber keine Antwort. Kommt übrigens, wie auch die vorher benutzte IP, aus Portugal. --Túrelio (talk) 16:42, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Ich weiß ehrlich gesagt nicht, wie ich anders helfen könnte als Turelio es getan hat. Die Zeit mich mit den Edits zu befassen hab ich diese Tage leider auch nicht. Wenn Klärungsbedarf besteht bitte ans Forum wenden. --Martin H. (talk) 18:23, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Notification about possible deletion

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry. If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with them, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Nutzungsrechte Fotos

Hallo Martin H., danke für die Löschung der vier Fotos. Ich muss gestehen, es war ein Fehler die Fotos (nur weil ich sie leicht bearbeitet habe) als "my own work" zu markieren. Ich hätte sie sicherlich als "unknown author" kennzeichnen müssen. Nun trotzdem die Frage an dich: wenn es in Ordnung ist, Bild hochzuladen, bei denen "the author granted permission for anyone to use", warum löschst du dann diese Fotos. Sie sind aus meiner Sicht frei für die Nutzung auf Wikipedia. Oder habe ich etwas übersehen und etwas spricht dagegen? Danke für deine Mühe, Tomello (talk) 12:12, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

deleting wrong

Your image obviously included a screenshot from googlemaps service = wikimapia. Provide a verifiable source for the satelite picture. --Martin H. (talk) 15:35, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

I mean, if I license for Global Mapper that automatically extracts texture World Imagery can not use it? It is a mistake somewhere. Asybaris01 (talk) 15:46, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

If you have a license this will still not allow you to grant others the permission to reuse the file commercially. Thats like buying the newest CD and making pirate copies and selling them worldwide. Everyone who exploits the content will need a license. Screenshots of a software that you made under a license are not allowed to upload here under a free license. --Martin H. (talk) 15:49, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Scuza-ma, dar eu cred ca tu gresesti. Cum adica? Eu dau bani pe un soft si nu pot sa ma folosesc de ce eu obtin cu el? Eu decid daca vreau sa vand sau sa dau gratuit. Global Mapper sau altcineva nu are nicio treaba aici.Asybaris01 (talk) 15:55, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Commons:Sfera_de_interes#Trebuie să fie sub licenţă liberă sau în domeniul public. No screenshots of software that not fulfills this conditions.

The license contract/terms of service of that software not says that you can worldwide distrubute screenshots (that you created under a nontransferable, nonsublicensable, limited license) to others and allow them to reuse this screenshots for commercial purposes. Uploading this unfree content with the claim here, that it is public domain is indeed copyright infringement. --Martin H. (talk) 15:58, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

File:Priscilla Cooper Tyler.jpg

If that file is deleted, it should not be deleted for lacking a source, because it's extremely obvious that it's from a mid-19th-century engraving; it should be for other reasons, such as that's low quality and no one can tell what it's useful for (it appears to be being used on Thai Wikipedia as a picture of Tyler's wife, but it seems to be a picture of some other relative of his)...

Licence BCN

About files like File:Salvador Allende Gossens-.jpg, and other, I don’t understand what exact is a OTRS, but I thing is not necessary, since the license required is on the down left corner of the page of the National Library of Chile, the government institution who makes the photos (excuse my bad english). --ADGE (talk) 17:05, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Thats a wiki, the license may apply to content that the wikiusers created themself, but not to all the photos in that wiki that people simply copied from google imagesearches. All that files are not licensed under a CC license by their copyright holders but collected there by people who not have the right to publish it under any license (and who not even mention the source or copyright holder). --Martin H. (talk) 17:45, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

That page is not an open wiki, only uses his technology, there is not user, only workers of the National Library of Chile, a public institution (you can see the link in the official page, http://www.bcn.cl/, in the section “Reseñas parlamentarias”). The photos are the official photographs of the members of the congress. The BCN has cooperates before with Wikipedia, like in this example http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Autorizacion-Biblioteca-Congreso-Nacional-Chile.pdf, when they assert that they are the owners of the patrimonial rights of that works. (excuse again my english). --ADGE (talk) 18:23, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

That pdf mentions a very limited number of works. From the link above ("All that files") half is logos of organizations that I, by all respect, not believe that they hold the exclusive copyright. Its a good idea for an institution to publish under free licenses, but its a bad idea to do this without any source or any information on the creator or copyright holder. Aks them, who created that photo. Ask them, why they own the exclusive copyright. Ask them, if the photo is covered under the website cc-by license. Then we can upload it here. In this form the image is quite obviously simply taken from google without any evidence on who created it or who the copyright holder is. --Martin H. (talk) 18:51, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Sock or not?

Hi Martin,

I came across some curious edits by a user that I've been dealing with, Gabrielassu, that might indicate a connection to other accounts. Gabrielassu created the user page for Cearense, which was later edited by Gustavo neto. A Brazilian Portuguese-speaking user with multiple accounts ending with "neto"... sounds familiar. They seem to be interested in different cities, though, so maybe it's just a coincidence. I'm not sure a checkuser request is justified based on this information alone, but since you're able to view deleted edits and you have some experience with the possibly related accounts, I figured I'd ask you to take a look if you have the time. Thanks, —LX (talk, contribs) 12:06, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

inconclusive if they are (technically) sockpuppets. Of course the history of that userpage looks very obvious. I see no relation to neto, that was a sockpuppeteer for pt:Eirunepé (thanks for reminding, quite obviously the lead image was again uploaded by a sock in July 2011) and other amazonas region cities and villages. This users are related to some sports club in Rio Grande do Norte, thats much distance, I not see a relation. --Martin H. (talk) 20:05, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Ich kann die Sprache der Freigabe nicht verstehen, aber ich sehe, dass die auf den Bildbeschreibungen angegebene Lizenz nicht in der Freigabe erwähnt wurde. Hier bitte nachbessern.

Please forward the permission to OTRS. I like to remind you that asking for permission to upload in Wikipedia will necessarily result in an insufficient permission. Permission must be given for anyone (not only Wikipedia) to reuse the file for any purpose including commercial purposes under the terms of a free license.

Hi, you may want to note the discussion on this matter that took place on my talk page.

Spam auf High-Traffic Seiten

Hallo Marin, in letzter Zeit fielen mir vermehrt Spam-Botschaften auf High-Traffic Seiten auf, die u.a. geschickt über Templates eingebunden waren. Da Du ja erweiterte Möglichkeiten hast, möchtest Du Dir evtl. mal User:Cartagenacity, User:115.249.194.2, User:Indreshiiitg, User:TERRA SUR vornehmen, um evtl. eine Gemeinsamkeiten oder "Socken" zu entdecken, auch wenn das eher unwahrscheinlich ist. Werbung nach Typ User:Cartagenacity habe ich auch schon auf hochgeladenen Dateien gesehen. Da wurden Hotels beworben. Wenn Du möchtest, kann ich versuchen meine DRs nochmals danach abzusuchen. Wenn ich weiteren Spam sehe, werde ich es hier oder an einem von Dir vorgeschlagenen Platz schreiben. Ich weiß nicht wann eine CU gerechtfertigt ist; das liegt in Deiner Hand. -- RE rillke questions? 20:37, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Ich würde da keinen Zusammenhang sehen. Frage wie die jeweils auf COM:VPP gekommen sind, vielleicht über die Watchlist oder vielleicht ist VPP noch irgendwo beworben und die Spammer haben das "Proposal" falsch verstanden. Wenn man erstmal auf COM:VPP ist, ist die Template-Bearbeitung einfach zu erklären, dass also nun also im Template vandaliert wurde würde ich eher als Versehen interpretieren. Einen Zusammenhang sehe ich zwischen den Spammern aber nicht, gibt es häufiger. --Martin H. (talk) 20:52, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Danke. Ist mir nur gerade so aufgefallen: MEIST EINE GROSSE ÜBERSCHRIFT und drunter irgendwas in Spanisch oder Englisch, großer Hersteller, beste Qualität, "Biografie" etc. Ganz zum Schluss irgendeine Firma oder Person und E-Mail-Adresse. Auf dem Help-Desk habe ich so etwas auch schon gesehen: User:Zhemduo1, User:60.250.172.130; eventuell war ich dort in letzter Zeit auch nur öfters unterwegs.

Allerdings frage ich mich, ob es da keine Lösung gibt, ähnlich wie ein "lernender Junkfilter", der gleich in MediaWiki mit eingebaut wird. (Wobei es bei meinen Mails doch immer noch ein paar Mails schaffen, der Tarif werde teurer, ich solle bitte die Krankenkasse wechseln. -<absurd/>.

Hello Martin

you have marked some of my uploads for deletion you said it's broken copyright or been published for 'consultant' spam

I don't agree as there is no copyright violation here as these documents have been produced by myself Moreover, these uploads are available as blog post and this is NOT a consultant spam

Thank you

Provide evidence that you have permission to publish those screenshots of unfree software under a free content license allowing anyone to reuse the screenshots for any purpose including money making purposes. The software license agreement of Microsoft products explicitely forbids this. Commons is not the place for screenshots of unfree software.

If we remove all screenshots this are simple text articles or instructions. Commons is not a place for text, see the project scope. :Provide evidence that you have the full copyright over the photo used in File:TN013 - Benoit HAMET (AVANADE) - Pourquoi et comment déployer Windows XP et Office 2003.pdf, its a photo used by microsoft who have licensed it from a stock photography service, you have no sublicense and you cant sublicense it under a free content license allowing anyone, worldwide, to reuse it for any purpose. Commons is not a place for photographs that you not created yourself uploaded with the false information that you created it entirely by yourself.

File:Fat buu.jpg

I am sridharbabu58 on mobiles24.com. And it is a free game screenshot. I resized and uploaded for the purpose of mobiles.

Images by VYGOcommons

Hi.

I saw that you responded to his undeletion request. I am the one that requested the deletion in the first place. I recently went through this user's contribution and found several other problems that you might want to review:

• possibly another copyvio: File:Windex.png. Could not find the source though.
• several "Own work" images:
  • File:Multilario.png.
  • File:Design of New Club House Circolo Vela Bellano.jpg.
  • File:DragonClassLogo.png and File:Dragon (keelboat) insignia.svg. The logo could be Commons:Threshold of originality but is probably not his own work.
• images without permission:
  • File:Paul Richard Høj Jensen.jpg.
  • File:Valdemar Bandolowski.jpg.

Hi Martin,

I see that you closed this deletion request as deleted, but the file is still there.

Hallo Martin,

bitte erklaer mir warum genau das Photo getagt wurde. Das ganze ist ziemlich neu fuer mich und ich hab mir das jetzt zwar durchgelesen aber ich zerd trotzdem nicht schlauer.

File:Sims 3 Adverts 2.png

How exactly was File:Sims 3 Adverts 2.png a copyright violation? It was a picture of a couple of buildings that happened to have billboards.

Photo deleted

Good afternoon mister Matrin H.! I send you this mail in order to have more information about the change in the photos I uploaded. The PlayStation Card 20€ photo was taken by myself, so I don't understand what is wrong with it. You have already deleted before I answer... Can you explain why is it impossible to put this photo in an article of Wikipédia? I say that because I usually can see plenty of smartphones photos taken by contrutors, and that seems to be correct. Then, for the logo ENSIP what I have to do in order to keep the logo on the database? Thank you for your answer and have a good day!
Nezdek (talk) 10:37, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

The cover is protected by copyright. Making a photo of the cover is a derivative work, your photo is not free of third part copyrights and you can not upload it here unless the copyright holder of the cover agreed to the license. See Commons:First steps/License selection. --Martin H. (talk) 10:39, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

OK. So every photo of a smartphone is agreed by the manufacturer? I think it's impossible because there are so many of them... And for the ENSIP logo? I have not understood what I have to do because English is not my mother language
Nezdek (talk) 19:26, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

I dont know what you talk about, can you please refer to filenames? File:Playstation card 20€.JPG was a photo of a cover, the cover is copyrighted, do not make photos of copyrighted covers. Commons:Œuvre dérivée. For the log: Provide written permission from the copyright holder that confirms that they published the logo under the Licence Art Libre. --Martin H. (talk) 23:34, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

The name of the photo that we talk about is on my talk page. So the logo of Google, Apple and Sony, for instance, are all agreed by the CEO of these firms to be License Art Libre? That would be impressive if it was real, because no one don't accept to let there logo in Commons.
Nezdek (talk) 13:32, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

You have to make some differences between logos. If a logo is too simple for copyright in its country of first publication, according to the copyright law and/or the case-law of this country, then it is ok to be on Commons without permission. The CEOs of Google, Apple and Sony not agreed to a free license or the Free Art License (which is a very special, rarely used, free license) and we will not ask them. The logos of their companies not pass the threshold of originality in the U.S. respectively Japan for Sony. --Martin H. (talk) 17:29, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

See your talkpage, edit the file description and provide the source.

Dear Martin H, I published the photo of Melis Eshimkanov (September 2011) in accordance with the verbal consent of the photographer who works for Radio Azattyk (RFE/RL Kyrgyz Service). This is a non-commercial radio and multimedia outlet funded by the U.S. Congress. It distributes its materials free of charge only. There is a logo of RFE/RL on the photo, and it is enough to use the photo.

MV Agusta photos

Ok sorry for the violation of the rules

I'm new and i understand better now but i have some questions.

I want to put a photo of Giovanni Agusta but the man died in 1971, so the only way to put a picture of him is to pray that someone has taken a picture of him or there is an order solution ?

Second question : Is there any possibility to use pictures given to the world press by the constructor ?

File:Monumento al Boyero (11).JPG

Is this image OK or not OK under Costa Rica's FOP laws for Commons? The Costa Rican FOP wording is confusing or unclear. "It shall be lawful"...what does that mean? Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 07:51, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

I have no idea. The information for this artwork is not given (who created it, who comissioned it). The information at COM:FOP is unclear to me, what government levels or institutions can be considered "authority", what does 'acquired' mean - is it simple physical ownership or is a transfer of copyright required? (imo transfer is required because of CR copyright, Title III Chapter I #4) COM:FOP#CR is clear on works not 'acquired by the authority'. A possible sollution is to get a statement from the 'authority' to OTRS that they 'acquired' it and that any reproduction falls under Article 71 of the law. Then it is no longer our problem and we can savely keep the image. Getting such a statement from the authorities can be difficult and it will take some time, but its not impossible and imo the best sollution. --Martin H. (talk) 09:33, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

• Thank you for the reply. There were 10-14 images like this in flickr needing human review. Now its 1 or 2. I only marked 2 photos. So, maybe someone else marked them. I agree, the words on Costa Rica's FOP is confusing. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 19:22, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Hallo Martin!

Ich hatte glaube ich gestern eine Datei (AFAIK HRH.Princess.jpg), die von diesem Nutzer hochgeladen wurde, als Speedy-Copyvio gekennzeichnet und habe heute mal aus Interesse nachgeschaut, ob er irgendeine Reaktion auf die Talkpage-Benachrichtigung zeigte, dabei hab ich deine Flut an gleichen Nachrichten gesehen. Wäre dieser Nutzer nicht eher Kandidat für eine Sperre? Seine Talkpage besteht nur aus den Copyvio-Benachrichtigungen, alle Uploads, die ich angeschaut habe, tragen die FAL als Lizenz, was sehr nach Uploadwizard-Fehlbedienung aussieht und er hat nach dem Erhalt von mehreren Warnhinweisen noch weitere Uploads vorgenommen. was meinst Du? Grüße, Grand-Duc (talk) 22:25, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Da er noch mehr Bilder hochgeladen hat sperr ich ihn mal. Auf Commons wird nicht so viel gesperrt, Commons-Accounts sind eigentlich immer nur sekundäraccounts und wenn wir hier schnell sperren, setzen die Benutzer ihr Werk auf anderen Wikis fort wo die Fähigkeiten URVs zu erkennen nicht so vorhanden sind oder es keine Benutzer gibt die sich darum kümmern. --Martin H.

Hello message from Turco85

Just because we have had the same IP it does not make us the same person. We are part of a group in London trying to improve articles mainly related to Turkish Cypriots. Thus, there is more than one of us using the same WiFi. We have asked a number of users on flickr to allow us to use their images. I have noticed that you have actually deleted a range of images that really are legitimately placed under the creative licenses. If you can find the following anywhere else, or show in anyway shape or form that they do not belong to this user, I would find your block justifiable. So Martin H. tell me where do the following images “really” come from then?:

I look foward to your reply. Turco85.

You are blocked from this project. Your contributions show a shameful number of blatant copyright violations, with sockpuppets or meatpuppets that not makes any difference. In the overall view your main stake in this project is contributing stolen files. With your above posting you wasted a chance to excuse for all that copyright violations. Do you really try to argue that a block is unjustified because maybe your sockpuppet accounts also contributed a small number of really self-created files? You vandalized this project with an abnormal number of false "own work" photos. Explain this, every single copyright violation. Than we maybe can talk again. --Martin H. (talk) 15:22, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

I have messaged you in a respectful manner and kindly request that you show me the same courtesy. I have contributed a lot of time on Wikimedia Commons in the past to help improve the project, and I’m actually not as active here as I used to be. As I said before, sure there could be a possibility of me and WPC2011 having the same IP but are not the same person.

You are saying that I have contributed an "abnormal number" of images...which ones are they and how many? 100? 1,000? 10,000? The reason why I have asked you to look at the images I have listed to you in my prior post is because I know they are genuine and I know you will not be able to find those images anywhere else. I myself have looked to see if they have been taken from somewhere else such as google. And I am assuming that you have also tried to desperately find them somewhere else to “catch me out”. Why don't you contact the uploader yourself on flickr? Regards, Turo85.

Just to add to my last post, I guess what frustrates me most is your accusations. Block me if you wish, just don't accuse me of something I am not guilty of. Having the same IP does not validate your argument. Regards, Turco85

Having the same IP the same time from the same computer and adding files to the same articles validates it of course. What frustrates the most is that I wasnt aware that you plan creating a sockpuppet zoo and that I suspect that there still is some sockpuppet accounts of you on this projects with a small number of uploads that I not catched so far. Thats the real problem. And apparently you are not interested in cleaning out all this old sins but only in whitewashing yourself. --Martin H. (talk) 16:14, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Martin H, I do not need to use two different accounts at exactly the same time, I have nothing to gain from it. All you are doing is avoiding what I have asked you. You have deleted the images above; have you found any evidence whatsoever that suggests that they are not legitimately placed under those licenses? Yes or no?

The problem is that you’re too busy ‘suspecting’ me that it does not matter what I say or do. You are clearly not being objective. Unless you can justify the deletion of those files, your argument is inconsistent. Regards, Turco85.

Yes. The account on flickr is a mixture of possibly self-created files and obviouly not self-created files. This uploaded September 5 2011 to flickr, pushed to Commons by your sockpuppet to File:Turkish Cypriot folk dancing (4).jpg on September 6, originally comes from http://www.iskelefolkdance.org/samsun_2011_foto_ing.htm. Given that you abuse this account for flickr washing it is not trustworthy, no matter it is possible or not that a file is self-created. This applies to your above listed files. You are banned from this project. You will not have a chance to upload here. No matter you upload directly or first to your flickr account. The reason for you beeing banned is not this abuse of flickr.com for flickrwashing but something different. You created a number of single purpose sockpuppets like User talk:CansuW, User talk:Rose Atkan and some others - some not yet found and some not yet blocked - uploading one or two files grabbed from the internet and included this image in the article, either with single purpose account or with your own account. I first became aware of copyright violations with File:Effiel tower red and white.jpg I think to remember. You never changed this behaviour, you never learned to contribute to this project with only good contributions. For Commons it is not acceptable to have a sockpuppeteer here who makes a few good contributions and a large number of such extremly bad actions. Commons will not offset bad actions with good contributions, contributing in a good way is the norm on this project. --Martin H. (talk) 17:36, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Martin H, I'm affraid you still have not proven anything. Can you just show me where the images I have listed here come from?. That is all I am asking from you; yet you are still trying to turn my question around to prove your argument. If you were aware of me being a so-called sockpuppet you should have confronted me a long time ago. As I said before, I do not contribute much to Commons anymore; in fact the block does not bother me much, it is the stigma which you are trying to place upon me which I have a problem with. Unless you can find prove that those images come from somewhere else, you have deleted a range of images which were under a genuine license. Clearly your accusations against me shall only continue which is a shame, especially since you're meant to be a respected user. Regards, Turco85.

"you should have confronted me a long time ago" - have a look at your block log... You are banned. I dont know where the files listed above from and I will not examine any contributions of you unless you examine your own contributions and care for the removal of copyright violations. You are generally not trustworthy, not here and not on flickr, and you will not be allowed to upload anything here. This fully applies to the files that you listed above. The flickr account is blacklisted for flickrwashing, the reason why the flickr user is not trustworthy is said above and it also applies to all files from that flickr user. --Martin H. (talk) 18:08, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

This is my last message to you. If I was so obsessed about creating new accounts I would not be defending my name right now. I would simply create a new account. You obviously have a lot of control over Wikimedia and I just can't be bothered to argue. I know that I'm innocent, that's enough for me. Good day to you. Turco85.

Droysens scan uploads

Thank you for your corrections on the Droysens map scan images, I shall try to copy them next time I do an upload. Maproom (talk) 22:19, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

If there is any more author information in the book please add it too. Often the editors are written below the map, left or right side. --Martin H. (talk) 22:25, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

I find that I uploaded two images with the "Permission" set to self|cc-by-sa-3.0|GFDL, and you changed it, without consulting me, to PD-Scan|PD-old. Ok, maybe you judged that the time I spent on cleaning, straightening, etc. those scans is worthless; and maybe a court of law would agree with you. But I prefer to be the judge of that myself. I don't think it can be right than when one editor uploads images with restrictions on their use, another editor can have the power to remove those restrictions.

Please stop pestering contributors

User talk:Veronika Pešková, newbie's talk page. It is a disgrace. What kind of satisfaction do you get out of it? /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 16:31, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

What do you want? For those files that are public domain someone with the required knowledge added the required information. Those files that are blatant copyright violations will be deleted, those files with missing information will be deleted and someone with knowledge can later upload them from their original source. --Martin H. (talk) 18:30, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

You could try to be nicer to the uploader. If you do not have feelings, try to imagine that Veronika might have some. You are thrashing this new contributor like a tank. Putting up all her contributions for deletion, although most of them are obviously free. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 19:22, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Something is obviously free if the file description explains why it is obviously free. If we allow any new contributor to make 1-3 uploads with random trash filled in either the source, author or license field we can close this project. I dont think its a "newby" thing to write nonsense into the fileds or to provide false information like "this file has been published under the terms of the free art license". This never happened to me, it not happened to you, it only happens to those who not care about this project. --Martin H. (talk) 19:26, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Stop lambasting people with accusations of "not caring", "false information". This is obviously a good-faith contributor. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 20:43, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Your strange comment possibly ignores some million potential uploaders who not uploaded because they read the instructions, because they toke examples before uploading, because they care for this project. It has nothing to do with good or bad fait, its simply a mistake. I allow people to make mistake, but I also allow me to give people a note about their mistakes and ask people to correct it. Its a shame that you insult me for this. --Martin H. (talk) 20:48, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

This kind of licensing is the result of upload-wizard. "First learn, then upload."—Seems not to work.

I would also request source info on maps. E.g. File:Indianske uzemi.jpg - FAL and author unknown. No/ wrong creation date. Not acceptable. It is not our job to correct tons of wronly licensed files. -- RE rillke questions? 19:28, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

I am just concerned that we are going to become a copyvio-hoster. We have a goal of an educational, free image collection. Any copyvio we host can cost re-users a lot of money if we do not care. You may try to find a Czech-speaker to get into communication with the uploader. Is it too hard to read before uploading and indicating sources properly. -- RE rillke questions? 19:34, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Don't be silly. It is absurd to delete images like File:New amsterdam.jpg for fear of copyright infringement. Harassing a new good-faith contributor with a dozen deletion templates is insane. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 20:34, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

For us as an educational project it is better to not have a file instead of having it with false information. Its not more worth keeping a file in this situation, better let the file on its original source and wait untill someone comes and uploads it correctly. Apparently you are this someone. Thanks for that and thank you very much for proofing the concept. I use templates instead of my native thoung. If you not like templates not bother me, change the templates. --Martin H. (talk) 20:42, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

What false information? What good does it do to delete the file? There is clearly no copyright problem. It was in use. Commons has lots of photos that lack information about when and what, but that is no reason to delete them. And you prefer to just blast a contributer away with a barrage of red tags, instead of asking nicely. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 20:49, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

False claim of licensing under a license not supported by the source. Other possible copyright status was not mentioned, so nothing to select or correct. The template is intended to ask the uploader..... or what do you think is the notificiation template for? If you not like the template dont complaint in my direction. And hey, must I talk with someone whos first comment in my direction today was "ass"?? I think not. Why not aks me nicely? My answer would have been: great, you found it, please correct the information and the copyright status and remove the tag. --Martin H. (talk) 20:53, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

I have tried to reason with you before. You just don't get it. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 21:01, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

The only thing you tried today is calling me "ass". --Martin H. (talk) 21:03, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

It is pretty asinine to produce something like User talk:Veronika Pešková. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 21:08, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Pieter, Im not responsible for the number of bad or incorrect uploads. And im not responsible that I was the first one who cared about this uploads. The uploader has a right to get informed about every single upload, he or she can respond to every upload, he or she got a firendly instruction what to do. So: whats your problem. --Martin H. (talk) 21:11, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

While discussing, please remember we all are voluntary here and spend our sparetime. You both did a great job for the project. Thank you. It's a good idea to be nice to each other and solve problems on a constructive, non-personal manner. -- RE rillke questions? 23:02, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

I have no opionon if this is aiming or not, if that is the dispute.

No, I'm not. No aiming. NatanFlayer (talk) 12:11, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Various copyright issues over images I made!!! And some others issues...

Images I made: I created the "File:Propuesta de Bandera para la Unión Latinoamericana.png" image originally for shot23.wordpress.com and I released it from any copyright issues, so... why it got erased? What else was needed?

Images without any copyright issues: I have NO idea how to grant a permission to "File:Escudo de Armas del Municipio Naguanagua.jpg" besides including the original website URL and writing the original authors. It's a municiplality shield!! It doesn't have any copyright issues! I don't know any e-mail, so it's gonna get erased for no reason at all

The same goes to "File:Construcción Linea 2 - Metro VLN.png", "File:Maqueta - Metro VLN.jpg" and "File:Logo Original del Metro de Valencia.png": The authors don't ave any issues in sharing it, as long some credit is given (which I included) and/or the souerce website doesn't exist anymore, so how am I going to get an e-mail from that or any kind of permission? It was a logo from a PUBLIC subway system, so the author OBVIOUSLY won't have any problems with it here on wikipedia.

Wikipedia uploading and permission-granting systems is counter intuitive, confusing, complicated and very new-user unfriendly. I'm gonna give up on contributing with new pics just for that.

the copyright holder must give permission that anyone can reuse the file anywhere, anytime for any purpose, for educational as well as commercial purposes. You are probably not aware that Wikipedia is not like writing your own book where just reusing someone else work and giving a courtesy note might be enough. Wikipedia is free content, free to reuse worldwide, free to reuse for money making purposes, this is not about "sharing" and assumptions like "don't ave any issues in sharing it" have no place here, see COM:PRP. And for the municipality shield: The copyright law of that country not confirms that it is excluded from copyright protection, it is protected and you need to ask the copyright holder for written permission. --Martin H.

Deleted pictures for "Copyright violation"

You recently deleted File:Como-animales-guasones.jpg but I don't understand why. It's necessary to create full pages. PLEASE,there must be some solution. Thanks

For Wikimedia Commons there is no simple sollution. This project is a free content project, unfree content is not allowed here. Read the first steps, read the very simple checklist at Commons:Licensing#Checklist, read the Commons:Image casebook#Album covers. This file is unfree content and you can not upload it here unless the copyright holder gave a written permission to a free licensing. --Martin H. (talk) 00:14, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Do you think that I am great specialist in licensing? It was just my misstake. I'm geographist, historian, not lawer. Instead of delete this image, you can just correct misstake of unexperienced user. I'm author of more than 800 articles, but pictures and licensing are not my strong suit. I do all my uploads only if I really know this way of upload. And this also applies to football.ua images - I read precise formulation about permission of using GI pictures from football.ua galleries and i've upload needful picture with that permision.--Soul Train (talk) 21:09, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

This 'mistake' can not be corrected. Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic is forbidden on Wikimedia projects, it is non-commercial, not free for commercial purposes, not free content. The free in "free encyclopedia" means free content. --Martin H. (talk) 21:11, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Well, I didn't know that. I read discription exactly on creativecommons site and didn't find violations. I mean, I'm not using this file for commercial purposes and even not transform this file, also I put the link to author. It's very bad, because we haven't got Recoba's pictures in Wikipedia. But with football.ua and Getty Images you are wrong, trust me. Just read talk page of Anastasia Lvova.--Soul Train (talk) 21:19, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

About licenses

Hello Martin, I need to ask you a question about licensing: If I uploaded a picture of my full authorship to Commons and I have published as PD-Self, can I add a CC-BY-SA license without removing the old one?

Thank you very much for your time. Regards, Banfield - Amenazas aquí 18:19, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

without removing the pd-self you can add a cc-by-sa license. --Martin H. (talk) 18:31, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, Banfield - Amenazas aquí 18:38, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

It doesn't really make sense to do so, though, because once a file has been released into the public domain, the Share-Alike requirement of {{Cc-by-sa}} cannot be enforced. Creative Commons licenses depend on the work being protected by copyright, which, by definition, they aren't if they're in the public domain. I'd advice against this combination mainly because it's confusing for reusers. —LX (talk, contribs) 19:41, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

picture on Commons was 500x667, can be found in 600x800 also on the web. So maybe I was wrong with that source, but I dont think Im wrong with saying the uploader toke it from the web and not photographed it himself. And yes, there are many problems with that person. See for example File:Saint George's Church Plovdiv.jpg, it also appears at http://www.forum-auto.com/les-clubs/discussions-salon/sujet461-385.htm#t185103, was posted there some 6 years earlier with some more pixels at the bottom - including a watermark that our uploader simply cutted away.

Ich hoffe ich habe jetzt keine vergessen.--Sanandros (talk) 09:30, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Vielleicht solltest du dich in der Frage zuerst an den Uploader wenden und dich bei Ihm erkundigen, welcher Upload keine URV ist. Offensichtlich war der Typ völlig schmerzfrei unterwegs und hat schamlos das Web ausgeräumt, selbst vor der Entfernung von Wasserzeichen (hier, auf show klicken, welches eins der oben aufgeführten ist) hat er nicht zurückgeschreckt. --Martin H. (talk) 09:32, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Ich weiss das ist nicht einfach mit ihm, aber anderseits haben wir auch auf Commons gewisse Regeln.--Sanandros (talk) 09:52, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Die eingehalten sind. Die Regel sagt nicht, dass man machen kann was man will solange es niemand merkt. >75% der Uploads dieses Benutzers sind URVs, eindeutig nachgewiesen, dass ist schon ein enormer Aufwand den ich dort betrieben habe. Wenn du im Einzelfall berechtigte Zweifel hast kannst du diese äußern, eine Pauschalrechtfertigung auf Vorrat werde ich nicht liefern. --Martin H. (talk) 09:58, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

So weit ich das einschätzen konnte waren alle Fotos die mit der Sony DCR-TRV730E aufgenommen sind wohl von seinem Handy. Auch als ich die Category:PASKAL Open Day Exhibition neu angelegt habe sahen die Fotos für mich aus wie seine eigenen und konnte auf Google nur Commons Files finden.--Sanandros (talk) 10:37, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

File:Childrens in PASKAL Open Day Exhibition.jpg, recht schlechtes Foto mit ein paar Waffen und zwei Mädchen. Dann such mal nach PASKAL open day imagesize:600x800 und du wirst diese finden welches im Oktober 2010 dort veröffentlicht wurde. --Martin H. (talk) 10:56, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Neben den 7 Bildern "open days" könntest du File:PASKAL's B&T MP5A5 with M203.jpg gemeint haben, da du das bearbeitet hattest. Das Bild beinhaltet in den EXIF eine sauber deutschsprachigen Kommentar "PASKAL. H&K MP5A5 (3-round-burst) w/ M203. Beachte: Offenes Korn. Evtl. nicht von H&K?", damit scheidet der Uploader als Urheber bereits aus. Ich weiß nicht von welcher Seite er es gestohlen hat, es sind einfach zuviele. --Martin H. (talk) 11:10, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

OK das sind bessere Argumente.--Sanandros (talk) 13:02, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

User:Joaozinhobala17 - kleiner Hinweis

Hi Martin,
leider ist o.g. User direkt nach dem Ablauf deiner Sperre wieder in sein altes Verhaltensmuster zurückgefallen. Ich hab ihn jetzt einfach mal abgeklemmt mit dem Hinweis, dass er entsperrt wird, wenn er COM:L ließt und akzeptiert. Grüße, abf «Cabale!» 18:52, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

image

amigo, las imagenes llamadas File:Jupiter nasa.JPG y File:Saturno nasa.JPG yo el User:EEIM la hice por computador. después la copie y pegue en otro archivo ,ese archivo era una foto que tome con una cámara fotografica ,por esa razón el archivo Júpiter nasa saturno nasa tiene Metadatos.

la licencia ,dice: foto de la nasa y es por que simplemente ví unas imagenes de la nasa y las mejoré, en gran parte esas imágenes son mejoradas . por eso escribí Jupiter from nasa y Saturno from nasa.

Luego escribí archivo propio ,para indicar que yo USER EEIM hice las fotos.

Espero aclarar tus dudas ,

Hallo Martin, könntest du mal kurz die 3 accounts Saphire569 (talk · contribs), Natasha569 (talk · contribs) und Boyer569 (talk · contribs) auf Identität prüfen. Sie sie konsekutiv eingerichtet worden und haben immer dasselbe Zimbio-Foto hochgeladen, zunächst unter Flickr-washing[Commons talk:Questionable Flickr images], zuletzt sogar unter Picasa-washing[16], und nach copyvio-Markierung auch einen identischen Rache-Vandalismus gezeigt. --Túrelio (talk) 23:24, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Picasa washing von dem fernanda detmer account. Damit (Fernanda Detmer (talk · contribs)) ist der Fall eigentlich klar, der account is auf Commons talk:Picasa Web Albums files gerade kürzlich von mir eingetragen worden. Ich checke mal wo da der Zusammenhang besteht, vielleicht stehen da noch älter Socken im Hintergrund. --Martin H. (talk) 06:35, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Danke. Hab ich ja doch den richtigen gefragt. --Túrelio (talk) 09:18, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Stralsund, Nikolaikirche, Russlandfahrergestühl

Martin, you are delete categories from file:2006-07-xx Stralsund, Nikolaikirche, Russlandfahrergestühl, Tafel D.jpg. I think on the panel illustrate Peterhof - old german yard in Novgorod. Peterhof was controlled by Riga traders, whats why it is in Rigafahrergestühl. I think categories are write to use in this file. Best wishes--Kontiger (talk) 08:52, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Part of it is COM:OVERCAT, the other seems to be not correct, the literature speaks of Riga. Commons is not build to decide ambiguities in history, the file can be used to illustrate the Gestühl, it can not be used to unambiguously illustrate the one or the other place. So just let out such categories. --Martin H. (talk) 08:56, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Washakie

Hello,

We have 2 versions of Washakie's photo (one of them you uploaded):

• 
  High resolution TIFF, but very poor quality
• 
  Small resolution JPEG, but better quality

so if we could get the high resolution of the better quality one, it would be great. Any idea? Yann (talk) 17:18, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

I see no reason to do anything. We have a fair quality jpg with correct author and easy to understand description at File:Washakie.jpg. And we got a high res but poor quality tiff as a reference with a terrible mess of information that no normal reader will understand at File:Washakie (Shoots-the-Buffalo-Running), a Shoshoni chief, half-length, seated, holding pipe - NARA - 530875.tif. --Martin H. (talk) 17:22, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Contacting another member

I'm sorry to bother you with this, but despite reading help information, I don't seem to be able to find a way to contact another member. For some reason, his talk page just doesn't have that option to contact him (szilas). What am I doing wrong?

All users have talkpages that you can edit. --Martin H. (talk) 20:49, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. I thought I would delete older material when I used the edit button, but I just started at the wrong end of the page.

Thanks

Hi, I thank you for your message, and apologize for the inconvieniences. I responded on my talk page for Geshe Wangyal. As for the team with Hitler, the photo is from 1938, and was taken in Poland, I therefore thought the {{ PD-Poland } } was alright for this photo, as I found other such photos. --Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 21:49, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

A photo of Hitler receiving a german citizen, Harrer, to an official event taken and first published in 1938 in Poland... thats a joke, right? --Martin H. (talk) 21:52, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

I beg your pardon, but Harrer was an Austrian citizen, and the photo was taken in w:Wrocław. I did add the category:History of Wrocław. You can see here that I am not the only one to use this Poland tag for this period, even for this photo during the war File:FestungBreslau6V1945.jpg. (I am not found of Hitler, but I decided to upload this photo which is widely used on the web with inappropriated legend, so as to possibly have a more encyclopedic neutral approach of this difficult subject.)--Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 22:07, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

The requirement for Template:PD-Poland is: first published in Poland, under Polish copyright law, or taken by Polish photographer. This photo was taken on German teritory (at that time) by a known German photographer. Non of the requirements was fullfilled. I will not say something regarding the above linked 1945 photo, the PD-Polandtag is widely abused for bad uploads. For this pre-1939 photo the case is however clear. And yes, Harrer is Austrian, my pardon. Although one can argue differently for this August 1 1938 photo. --Martin H. (talk) 22:15, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. If you know the name of the German photographer, or can indicate how to look for it, it may be useful. --Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 22:29, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

I did in the deletion summary. --Martin H. (talk) 22:30, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

I looked but did not found. I guess it is in the deleted file, and I have no access to it. --Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 22:59, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Gehse Wangyal

Dear Martin H, Thanks again for the infos. As for Geshe Wangyal, I understood the photo status was uncertain, it is even labeled as AP. There is another one from 1956 here : http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/95508976/ It say : "Rights Advisory: No information on creator or on reproduction rights found with the image, 1995." and : "Notes: New York World-Telegram and the Sun Newspaper Photograph Collection."

Do you think it would be acceptable as Template:PD-NYWT&S Tkanks for your help--Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 15:07, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

I can only say that it is not acceptable as Template:PD-NYWT&S. The case is mentioned in the template as not covered (second passage, last sentence). --Martin H. (talk) 19:10, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello Martin. Sorry for disturbing.

Weißt Du zufällig, ob es eine Bot-accessible-list of "bad authors" wie User:FlickreviewR/bad-authors für Picasa-Autoren gibt? Ich habe nämlich das License-review-script verbessert, so dass es jetzt auf "faule Äpfel" prüft und ggf. warnt. Danke -- RE rillke questions? 16:19, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
