Hello, re: deletion please restore.

Hi there Natuur, I've come across you on a different board now and need to clear the air. It was you that started some nonsense with one of your deletions, you've restored others can you please restore these items in the commons?

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_uploaded_by_EM_Che

They are art only in the sense that they are creative; rather they are designs that I would like to protect for the future of humanity, each one is on a different and new format, and needs the protection of the creative commons. These are educational in the life skills that people need to have, and are utilized all over in places where folks are trying to live without capitalism. I have been working on some like the rocket stove for over two years now, and would feel terrible if it got a copyright on it from some company to make money and oppress those who wouldn't. There's a strength together, and having these files proves my case if it were to come up. Each is original work and open intellectual property, but no one may copyright the designs thereof to prevent others from doing them. Isn't this the ideology of the Wikimedia Commons?

Furthermore, after reviewing feedback from the town pump, I don't think any of these match the qualifications for https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_policy ; and fit all of the requirements under https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Project_scope. I've done my homework, and am really worried about getting a copyright stolen out from under me. Please, end the insanity; let's go.

No and you already filed a undeletions request which was rejected so you understand that I am not going to waste my time with discussing this for a third time? I would like to give you some advice though. If you want the protection of a cc-license you could also upload your files to flicr. You can even choose a non commercial license there. Natuur12 (talk) 09:47, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

Send me the files, please. No bullshit on this, man. You give the commons a bad name. Recommend cutting your deletions down by about a half, and that damn bird BrightRaven got zapped by a lightning-bolt. This is exactly the type of material that needs to be on the Commons; well now another way gets them.EM Che (talk) 06:47, 5 August 2014 (UTC) ed.che@riseup.net.

I see that this last comment got you blocked. And no, after this comment, don't expect any help from me. Natuur12 (talk) 10:59, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Matthisvalerie

Hi Natuur12, I saw that the photos uploaded by User:Matthisvalerie were deleted. She has been taking the pictures herself at events in London and dropping by the Wikimedia UK office for help uploading them. Would it be possible to restore the images? Richard Nevell (WMUK) (talk) 11:22, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

@Richard Nevell (WMUK): I undeleted them based upon your explenation. If you can vouch for them, than that is good enough for me. Natuur12 (talk) 12:22, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Thank you! Richard Nevell (WMUK) (talk) 13:23, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Reasoning? Arguments?

Hi. About your closure of these BSicons (search 19:34). Could you specify why & how you reached that conclusion? (sort of funny, the search will yield two closures by you in one minute - how thorough does that look?). I'd like to read your evaluation of the arguments. -DePiep (talk) 21:19, 29 September 2015 (UTC) [My home talkpage: en:User talk:DePiep ].

See here. Your contribtutions regarding that discussion where merely ad hominem just like your message at my talk page is merely an ad hominem. You didn't follow the enaming quidelines for Biscoins and in the meantime new files have been created which do follow those guidelines and therefor your uploads are redundant. Plus the quality of your uploads wasn't that good either, scaling issue's. Sorry but when the only defence against deletion is a list of cheap fallacy, deletion is the only logical outcome. Natuur12 (talk) 21:54, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Dank u wel

Hi, Natuur12 Thank you for your speedy deletion on the copyvio file. Dank u wel. --Tokorokoko (talk) 09:43, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Upload problem (do not appear)

Hi Natuur, i upload better versions for five photos of the Wikipédia french article Grande Mosquée de Kairouan but the last version of these photos do not appear when I click them from the article. The versions which have to appear are :

• File:Vue aérienne de la Grande Mosquée de Kairouan - aerial view of Kairouan's Great Mosque.jpg [1](version of 3 octobre 2015 à 07:39 ; 1,26 Mio)
• [2] (version of 2 octobre 2015 à 04:37 ; 606 Kio)
• [3] (version of 2 octobre 2015 à 04:18 ; 1005 Kio)
• [4] (version of 2 octobre 2015 à 04:49 ; 507 kio)
• [5] (version of 2 octobre 2015 à 04:27 ; 580 kio)

As i said the problem is that these versions do not appear from the wikipedia article. I wish your help. Cordially, Passionné d'architecture (User talk:Passionné d'architecture) 08:40, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Natuur, same thing concerning this file : Vue aérienne nocturne de la Grande Mosquée de Kairouan.jpg [6](version of 3 octobre 2015 at 23:25 ; 5,07 Mio) Cordially, Passionné d'architecture (User talk:Passionné d'architecture) 23:31, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Good morning Natuur, also this file : Vue intérieure d'un porche de la Grande Mosquée de Kairouan.jpg [7] (last version 7,6 Mio). Cordially, Passionné d'architecture (User talk:Passionné d'architecture) 07:20, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Dear Passionné d'architecture,

The files are visible at my PC perfectly but I do have issue's with some other files (mostly .gif). If you want I can open a bug report. Natuur12 (talk) 13:45, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

File:Philippe II, Duke of Orléans.PNG

Hello, just thought I'd ask why you declined the move of the image in the title? Just curious. :) Simplegoose (talk) 18:10, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

The name is not completely meaningless and we simply don't allow moves when the new name is only better. Natuur12 (talk) 18:32, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

But surely the name I suggested was more informative? Simplegoose (talk) 18:53, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Yes it was but that is not a reason to rename a file. That said, I can't say that you are completely wrong since criteria 2 is pretty broad. Natuur12 (talk) 18:59, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

File:Brooke Elliott.jpg?

Why did you delete this file? It was properly licensed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo_iIC3hXJI as Commons:Deletion requests/File:Brooke Elliott.jpg determined. --GRuban (talk) 20:59, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

My bad, it was nominated for speedy deletion with as rational Marking as possible copyvio because even if the source video is marked on YouTube as creative commons it's clearly a collection of copyrighted pictures. Which is true and therefor we cannot hoste the entire video but I should have taken a closer look because this shot is legit. Natuur12 (talk) 21:33, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Archbishop Curley Notre Dame High School, Entrance.jpg

Hi, And what about File:Main Entrance to ACND Prep.jpg? Regards, Yann (talk) 15:22, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Yann,

I think the same applies for that file. Could be okay but without more evidence it is impossible to tell. I didn't delete that one because the file page didn't contain a nomination template and the uploader wasn't informed that this file was listed in this DR. Natuur12 (talk) 13:15, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Can you please help with this photo verification on Chris Roupas

Hello Natuur12. If you have time, can you look at Chris Roupas whose Wikipedia page article recently had three photos removed form it. I would like some help in resubmitting them so they can appear again in the article. I took all three photos and I thought I verified that when I uploaded them. Can you please take a look and see what I would need to do to resubmit them properly? I took the "PSU Scan" in 1975, I took the "Weightroom" in 1979, and I took the "USA-Ahepa" in 1982. Beyond that, can you also take a look at the remaining photos on Chris Roupas so they are not removed as I think I verified them the same way I verified the ones that were removed. I took all the photos. I know your time is valuable but any directions or help would be most appreciated. Thank you. Bob Miller, retired Penn State Sports Historian.PSUSTATS (talk) 16:48, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

@PSUSTATS: The files where deleted because they where old photographs from a sportstar but based on the statement you provided it makes it perfectly plausible that you are indeed the photographer. I will restored them for you. Natuur12 (talk) 17:04, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you so much Natuur12 for helping me in restoring the photographs to the article. Very much appreciated.PSUSTATS (talk) 19:24, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Rising from grave... see [8]. After seeing the changes they made to various speedies since they were unblocked, I'd suggest perhaps the cooling period was not long enough. Thanks. Ellin Beltz (talk) 13:50, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I will keep an eye on it. I doubt that there will be enough support for something like a block at the current stage. Natuur12 (talk) 19:06, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Likely so, but eyes wide open. There's complaints in [9] today. According to the subject, other people cannot edit their talk pages! Their "command and control" mentality is quite odd; perhaps the user is a child. Ellin Beltz (talk) 14:45, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Ellin,

Perhaps this is not the reaction you hoped for but it would be highly unfair against you to keep my mouth shut. I read the complaint which has been closed in the meantime. Most important is that you keep your cool. I understand how frustrating the situation is but please assure that you don’t become what you despite. Natuur12 (talk) 18:21, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Copyright overtredingen.

Hallo,

Ik heb twee waarschuwingen gehad voor het overtreden van auteursrechten. Bij de eerste keer had ik een screenshot van Windows 10 (afkomstig van de Microsoft site) in een wiki geplaatst, om het uptodate te houden. Ik wist niet dat dit in strijd was met de regels. Ik heb daarna zelf een screenshot gemaakt om het op te lossen. Ook dit bleek tegen de regels te zijn. Ik wist hier niets van en heb nu ook de regels goed doorgelezen maar nu staat mijn account op waarschuwingsstatus. Kan deze status ervan af worden gehaald omdat ik mij er niet van bewust was dat ik auteursrechten schond?

M.V.G, Max Gerritsen Maxgerritsen (talk) 17:04, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

Beste Maxgerritsen,

Wat mij betreft mag u de waarschuwing weghalen. De boodschap is aangekomen dus hij dient verder geen enkel nut meer. Indien u vragen heeft kunt u altijd een bericht achterlaten op mijn overlegpagina. Natuur12 (talk) 18:19, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Natuur12, does the ticket/permission contain any information about who the photographer is? --Túrelio (talk) 09:21, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, with the new OTRS-policy in place I am not sure if I am allowed to make such a statement but David Belt is the founder. Natuur12 (talk) 11:13, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

So, it's credible that "Antonia Belt" was the photographer. That was the only intend of my question. --Túrelio (talk) 14:49, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

How long did you block me from that IRC channel for

Just wondering how long you blocked me from that IRC channel for.Reguyla (talk) 01:39, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Buenos días — Preceding unsigned comment added by FJGAR (BIS) (talk • contribs) 09:56, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Regarding this FFD

You closed it with "Photograph seems to be licensed by the copyright holder". You must not have read my request right. I wasn't talking about the photo, which I knew was freely licensed. I was talking about the logo, which seems to be copyrighted (it's on en-wp as FU). I was asking whether the logo was de minimis. (If there's anything else copyrighted in the picture, presumably it's de minimis - or maybe not). Renomination candidate? Hop on Bananas (talk) 02:20, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

The person who licened the photograph also seems to be the copyright holder of the logo. Natuur12 (talk) 15:58, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

That doesn't mean they've also released the logo. It's on en-wp as fair use. Hop on Bananas (talk) 16:31, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

That is is uploaded at en-wiki under fair use doesn't matter. You license the file as a whole unless noted otherwise. This includes the watermark. Natuur12 (talk) 17:22, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

@Hop on Bananas: if you're referring to the logo on the screen in the photo, that's a clear case of de minimis. If you're referring to the watermark, that's just text in a standard font and so can't be copyrighted. -mattbuck (Talk) 22:54, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

If the logo is CC, it should be on WP as CC instead of fair use (and maybe transferred to Commons). Hop on Bananas (talk) 23:57, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

@Mattbuck: I'm referring to the big-ass Anime Midwest logo above the watermark. Is it de minimis or not? (Even if it's CC-licensed, it would still be DM). It's certainly above the TOO, may be covered by the photo's license, and is on WP as fair use. Also, keep in mind that the photo would basically be the same without it. (talk) 23:58, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

I hadn't even noticed it, which I think means we can consider it DM. -mattbuck (Talk) 06:51, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Page rev deletion query

• 21:44, 25 October 2015 Natuur12 (talk | contribs | block) changed visibility of a revision on page Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Vandalism: edit summary hidden (PD-Art image with non-free frame) (diff | change visibility)

I was just wondering, what's this all about? I see a useless diff that was rightly reverted, but I don't see why you would delete the edit summary, especially not on the grounds of it being a filename of an image? -mattbuck (Talk) 22:51, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I hit the wrong button when chosing the reason of why I hid the edit summary. The edit itself was already hidden by @Rodhullandemu: under the rational "Non-public identifying or personal information". The only information that would be eligible to be hidden under this rational was also visible in the edit summary. That is why I hid it and I should have used the same rational as Rodhullandemu but because of a misklick I used the wrong reason. Natuur12 (talk) 23:01, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

FYI: Diego Grez blocked 3 days + Diego Grez and Amitie 10g Interaction banned for 3 months

Hi!

FYI as involved admin, see my notice in AN.

This decision was taken in order to restore civility.

I have not seen reason to relock Amitie 10g, if you see it necessary not hesitate to do so.

Cheers, Alan ^(talk) 02:35, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Honestly I think that the block is a bit unfair since Amitie 10g didn't exactly gave a genuine timeline of the facts. The file I converted to a regular DR was deleted and not speedy kept as Amitie 10g claims. What is kept, that is a brand new upload. This one closed by you was only kept after the copyright problem was resolved. Honestly, what Amitie 10g did was far more disruptive. The way he communicates is offensive to the persons who read his comments treating the readers as idiots with all the bold text he uses to emphasis his points when there is no need to. The length and the lack of relevant content also make it impossible to react to them properly. This was already noted in previous discussions where it becomes awfully clear that Amitie 10g his more or less intimidating discussion style irritates people. Even after you placed the block of Amitie 10g keeps asking for special treatment because the DR's need to speedy speedy closed. There is absolutely no reason to speedy close those DR's. Yes, Diego should have stopped creating those DR's while there was a general discussion about them but from a legal perspective he is correct and a warning that creating more DR's until there is established a consensus would have resolved this as well. For the interaction ban, I do believe that there needs to be some sort of informal consensus or at least several warnings before such an extreme measurement is taken.

To point out a couple of DR's. This one was rightfully reopened because it is not elegible for a non admin closure only to be kept after the non-free element is removed. This one was also fixed before being kept. It seems that the files do seem to be copyright violations if they are not fixed. Actually, even after they are fixed the are copyright violations since the license has been terminated according to section 7.

I do believe that a longer block for Amitie 10g seems to be appropriate because of his problematic MO in discussions which irritates several people and is not helpful if you want to be establish a consensus. Secondly he framed an editor in a discussion about his behaviour when he could have reasonably suspected that one of the results of that discussion was a block. This is really unfair.

Defecation video

Hello Natuur12, some time ago you deleted Commons:File:Defecation.ogv after it was nominated by EvergreenFir. The reason given by the nominator was "Out of scope - Video is not used by any project, has no educational value, and is part of an effort by IP editors to add a video of defecation on the en.Wikipedia defecation page, despite clear consensus against it.". The comment you gave with the deletion was "Out of scope.". Can you explain what you mean by that and whether or not you agree with the reasons given by the nominator?
I want to add that the file was in use on other projects, it wss used for already more than six months on the dutch Wikipedia (preceded by another defecation video placed in march 2014) and both videos have not been an issue of much debate there. Moreover, regarding the "no educational value", the video is informative. Most people have never seen the movement of the anus around the bolus. It is impossible to your own defecation without a mirror, and defecation is such a private issue that you never see anybody elses defecation from so nearby. So the video does provide new information. Those who want to see it, can click it. Those who find it disgusting are able to avoid it by not clicking it. Regards, Itsme (talk) 22:32, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

@Itsme: Out of scope is just short for there is no educational value or the file violates one of Wikimedia Commons it’s policies. I could have motivated this more clearly.

While the educational value is questionable since the quality of the video isn’t that good the person in it was clearly recognisable and we have no way to establish if this person agreed with the publication of this video or if this video is just some sick joke between drunk “friends”. In most jurisdictions this would be a breach of personality rights if there is no consent to publish such a video. Evidence is required that this video meets com:IDENT. Therefor the file has to be deleted. The uploader seems to have used a single purpose account which hasn’t been used ever since.

Secondly there is the copyright aspect. Video’s like this are uploaded every now and then and often we find out that the uploader isn’t the copyright holder. Often someone else than the actual camera men, photographer etc. uploaded it and this comes close to having significant doubt (com:PCP) about the copyright status. While the evidence is too thin to prove that his file is indeed a copyright violation it is in combination with the com:IDENT-argument and the fact that the file is used for vandalism in a way that brings the subject in discretion is strong enough of a reason to delete such a file. Actually, the fact that we have no evidence that the subject gave his consent for this vid is reason enough to delete such a file.

Regards, Natuur12 (talk) 22:58, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

OK, clear. Valid arguments. Thanks for clarifying the deletion. Itsme (talk) 23:07, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Spaanse ID-kaart

deleted too soon?

Hello Natuur12, carried away by my enthusiasm I closed some DRs opened at the 2015/10/27 exemple here, before I realized they were not old 7 days. All were opened by INeverCry and I've no doubt that the files would have been deleted after one week if I did not deleted its myself. I hope it will not have too serious consequences.... --Christian Ferrer (talk) 23:00, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, don't worry. Stuff like this can happen. Seems like it where obvious cases anyways. I doubt that there will be any consequences since it was just a honest mistake. If someone does complain about a specific DR you can always restore the files and reopen the DR. Thanks for closing so many DR's btw. We need more admins dealing with deletion requests :). Natuur12 (talk) 23:06, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Closed deletion request which may need to be renominated

Hello. Earlier this year you closed Commons:Deletion requests/File:Ana Ambrazienė.jpg as kept. The nominator, User:JuTa, stated "I can't find an external source to doubt own work as claimed". There were no other comments for or against deletion. Today I found that it appears to have been copied from this Facebook image dated June 2011. The deletion nomination link says to contact the closing administrator before re-nominating it. -- Zyxw (talk) 05:33, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

JuTa deleted the file based upon this new evidence. Nothing left to do for me. Natuur12 (talk) 13:58, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

File:Jacqueline Comerre-Paton - Mistletoe.jpg

Why did you delete this file? It is PD in the US and the corrent template was added. --Jane023 (talk) 18:53, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Because there was no evidence that this file is in the public domain in it's source country. Natuur12 (talk) 19:03, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick reply! Why not just because it was published in the US before 1923? This should trump source country (also source country is not clear). --Jane023 (talk) 10:20, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

No it doesn't since the source country is the country where the "work" as been published for the first time. It doesn't matter if it is published elswhere unless it happened within 30 days of the original publication. The caption suggest that this could very well be France or at least the photograph which this painting is based on is from France making the painting a derivative work. Even if we manage to find evidence that the first publication was in the US we still need to find out if the photograph used to create this painting is PD. Natuur12 (talk) 13:32, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

But the pages of a book published in the US before 1923 are PD, regardless of what the page in the book depicts. --Jane023 (talk) 10:58, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

PD in the US but not in the source country and Commons policy requires that the work is both PD in the US and it's source country. Natuur12 (talk) 13:39, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Sorry I still don't get why this is not PD in the source country. Let's pick France as source country for the painting. Then let's pick France as source country for the image of the painting. Then let's pick US as source country for the book, including the image of the painting. It is this third book version that is PD, as it is published in the US before 1923. Your previous comment looks a lot like the original comment on the deletion request, leading me to believe that I am not seeing something that is obvious to you. You will need to spell this out for me, sorry. As I upload lots of images of art, I think it is pretty important for me to get a grasp of this. --Jane023 (talk) 10:44, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi @Jane023: . The problem is that Jacqueline Comerre-Paton only died in 1955, and she was French. So there is copyright on her works held by her estate in France that will continue to be active in Europe until the end of 2025.

Commons takes the broad view that, as far as possible, things that are posted here should be usable (eg on different wikis) worldwide. To facilitate that, the basic rule set by the community for inclusion on Commons is that a work needs to be free for use in the United States (where the servers are) and in the country where the copyright work was first published (amongst other things, that's where the estate may be particularly sensitive; also, many counties in the world (including the EU) operate on the basis of the "rule of the shorter term" -- so if the copyright has expired in the source country, that makes the image legal in much of the world).

The problem here is that there may still be live copyright in the underlying painting in its source country -- which would also touch any derivative works, since they would be derivative of something that would still be in copyright (in many countries around the world, even if not in the U.S.)

To resolve this, one needs to know if the underlying work was first published in any form outside the United States. If it was, then we're in trouble (though the image could still be uploaded to en-wiki, which having servers in the States and a strong U.S. audience argues that it can rely on U.S. 1st amendment protections, and therefore only needs to worry about U.S. copyright; whereas fr.wiki is typically guided by French copyrightlaws and exceptions, and de.wiki by German/Austrian copyright laws and exceptions).

On the other hand, if you can establish that the first time the underlying painting was published in any form was in the United States, then it should be free to use in most of the world. Jheald (talk) 11:03, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for this thoughtful (and quick!) response. I was under the impression that works created before copyright law went into effect are PD. Is this not the case? As far as I can tell, the original book was published in both the US (NYC) and the UK (London) in 1905. The artist was French but it is unclear if the work was created in the UK (most of the paintings from the book were shown in London where the book's compiler/author saw them, and this one is not mentioned in the text chapter by a Frenchman). But in either case (work created in London or work created in Paris) I will assume French law holds due to her citizenship. However, for an artwork that is selected for an illustrated catalog (such as in this book), I would assume that an exhibition itself is the moment of "publishing". That is the moment when the original work comes in contact with public eyes, or is the moment of "publishing" for an artwork the year of creation? In this specific case we are talking about an artwork photographed and published in a book, probably before or after a London exhibition. So you need to spell out for me what you mean by "published in any form" because I don't get that. Thanks again for the quick reply! --Jane023 (talk) 14:14, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Modern copyright in the UK is generally dated back to the Statute of Anne in 1705, it gets a mention in the U.S. Constitution (1787), and even the Berne Convention dates back to 1886, so you have to go quite a long way back to find things "created before copyright law". (Which may be just as well, because there's a case going through the U.S. courts at the moment relating to sound recordings, examining the proposition that before federalized copyright (only legislated for in the U.S. for sound recordings in 1976), that before/without such a law, the natural default state of affairs was perpetual copyright...) -- which was still the case until quite recently for unpublished works, now the subject of a transitional regime.

The first thing to take into account is that, even with the Berne Convention, there's still only quite a limited internationalisation of copyright law. Each country still has its own copyright law, and (according to Berne), the relevant law will be the law of the place in which it is being claimed the copyright is being broken. So it's not the case that the relevant law is French law, due to Mme Comerre-Paton's French citizenship. Instead, if the content is being downloaded by a U.S. citizen in the U.S. from a U.S. server, the relevant law is likely to be U.S. American law; while if content is being downloaded by a French person in France from a U.S. server, then the plaintiff probably has a choice -- potentially that's an activity going on both in the States where the content is being served, and in France where the content is being received, so there's an arguable possibility of copyright being breached at either end.

U.S. law is very clear -- if something was published before 1923, then U.S. copyright has expired. (There's a possible loophole, if the plaintiff tries to claim that the publication was made unlawfully, without permission; but basically if it was out there before 1923 then it's (pretty) safe to say that the (U.S.) copyright curtain has come down.

For first publication in the E.U. the standard is "Life + 70 years", hence the end of 2025 being the relevant date. Note also that in the case of simultaneous publication (or publication within a month) of a work by an overseas citizen, the "source country" for a work will be that citizen's home country -- ie France, if the book was available simultaneously in Paris, London and New York; and probably (?) the UK if the work was published simultaneously in London and New York by a UK-based publisher.

So, what is "publication" ? This is another can of worms. The classic U.S. position is that a work is published if an arbitrary sufficiently motivated member of the public could take measures to secure themselves a copy of the work. An interesting case is the "Oscar" Academy Award statuette -- the Academy expressly stipulate that recipients do not have the right to sell or dispose of the statuette to anyone other than the Academy, in order that there should be no possibility that a random member of the public should be able to obtain one; and so that they can therefore argue that the design of the statuette is an unpublished work, and therefore still subject to perpetual copyright.

On the other hand, if I remember correctly, one of the 19th century UK acts stipulated that public display was to be considered a form of publication (perhaps because so many people at that time sketched works that were on public display).

I don't know what the position in French law would be; nor am I entirely sure which country's law would be used to determine whether a work had or had not been "published" by exhibiting it in a particular other country at a particular time. This is the kind of muddle that keeps lawyers in shiny offices for years -- and the deeper you get into the detail of this kind of trans-national question, the more that copyright law turns into a complete nest of snakes.

Not really a very clear answer, for which I'm sorry. But you can see why User:Natuur12 is cautious that there may be a good chance that the "source" country of the work, ie its country of first publication as determined according to the law of a country of possible infringement, might quite possibly be France, or alternatively the UK, in either case leading to the work still being in copyright in that source country. So has that successfully made your head spin? Yes, copyright clearance is crazy. And nobody in any position of authority appears to give a damn about trying to make the process any easier. Jheald (talk) 15:22, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

There is a 1m by 2m large poster giving a flowchart for calculation whether a work is in or out of copyright in each country of the EU, http://archive.outofcopyright.eu/research/Calculator%20Poster.pdf -- but beware that it is 25 Mb in size! (And even then I am not sure how deeply it gets in to the issue of what is or is not publication, which country's laws should be deemed to be relevant for the purpose, and how that affects the notion of the "source" country for the work).

That's where I need to hand on to some of the real experts on Commons.  :-) Jheald (talk) 15:40, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Correction. Mere exhibition of a work does not count as publication under UK law. (according to Commons:Publication). So for the UK, the crucial thing would be when and where the first reproductions were first published, ie made generally available (more specifically, whether it was first published in the United States, a clear month before the UK). Exhibition would count as publication under German law (the present German law, anyway). The page doesn't say what the position is under French law. Jheald (talk) 16:35, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

COA of the Earl Lloyd-George of Dwyfor

Hi Natuur12 - I note your recent deletion of the Earl Lloyd George of Dwyfor's coat of arms. I have put in another place various comments about the recent deletions of my uploads, which significantly have all arrived in frequent recent succession. Whether or not my word is worth anything on Wiki Commons, let me simply point out to you that the image I posted on Wiki Commons has every right to be there. If you need chapter and verse as to why, I should be more than happy to provide it. I await your comments. Many thanks. M Mabelina (talk) 03:04, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Dear Bogdan Muraru,

I will find someone who speaks Spanish to explain to you why the files have been deleted and what you could do to prevent deletion in the future. @Alan: , @Jcb: , @Magog the Ogre: can one of you explain the deletion rational in Spanish? The files in question were deleted because they are collages of freely licensed files but they lacked attribution and a source. Natuur12 (talk) 02:27, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Básicamente nada que añadir a lo dicho por Magog, indícale a Natuur12 las fuentes/orígenes de las fotos y seguro que si son válidas las restaura.

Hasta que no has encontrado en otra parte estas fotos o tienes alguna prueba que me incrimine no deberias podrar borrarlos. A mi me ofende que me llamas infractor y actuais como tal frente de mi trabajo. Para volver a buscar todas las imagines in commons me harra perder mucho tiempo, he mostrado en 2 casos la veridicidad de mis palabras (File:Colaj Botoşani.jpg y File:Suceava Colaj.jpg) y pensaba que esto era suficiente.

Polish pronunciation of Albania

I wonder what you meant by writing “In use” on the discussion page for deleting this file. Did you mean that the pronunciation was in use? Well, it may indeed be in use, but it is nevertheless incorrect. Lots of errors are used in every single language, but it does not make them correct. And if you referred to the file being in use, then this can hardly justificate keeping it, because the various versions of the Wiktionary may use it in good faith and mislead potential readers. All in all, it would be nice if you could employ full sentences when you wish to discuss anything. — At any rate the file is best to be deleted, as are all links leading to it. The least one should do is to mark this pronunciation clearly as incorrect. —— If you wish to answer, please do so on my Wiktionary page. Ksymil (talk) 08:25, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

I only motivate my admin actions at Wikimedia Commons. The files is used in other articles and it is up to the local projects to decide if they want to use the file or not even if the file is incorrect. This is how Wikimedia Commons works and sometimes it sucks but please realise that if don't follow this line Commons will be a place where content disputes from other projects are setteled.

Recent and repeated deletion: request for help and advices !

Hi Natuur12, I'm the owner of an image which has been deleteded several times for falacious denunciations of Copyright Violation, which is totally false ! https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Hilti99 https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:OgreBot/Uploads_by_new_users/2015_November_07_21:00&action=edit&section=48 However, I'm the author and creator of this image, owner of all rights on it, and I can prove it at any moment (including by modifying again this image/diagramm or providing you the source of this basic drawing (in XML or whatever format you prefer)). My question is: What should I do exactly to make my image accepted in Wikimedia Commons, now ?

Dear Hilti99,

In cases like this it is up to you to provide that you are the copyright holder. You can do so by contacting the OTRS-team. For more information please see com:OTRS. If you follow the instructions described at that page the OTRS-team will restore the files if everything sorts out. Please be aware that it can take a couple of weeks before someone looks into your case. Natuur12 (talk) 15:51, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Thank you very much Natuur12 for your answer. Moreover because you are the one who have deleted my image ! I will try to follow your advice by filing a request at the page of the OTRS-team, but I must admit it's seems a bit complicated about my simple story ! But I will try ! Incredible to see how complex it is so difficult to simply publish a basic image I own on Wikimedia Commons ! Awsome ! Best regards. --Hilti99 (talk) 16:33, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Weeks ! ("Please be aware that it can take a couple of weeks before someone looks into your case."). Only to insert a basic picture never clamed by any other person ? (just an anonymous and malicious user who try to tell the world that this picture has been "stolen" without any proof ? Nobody clame the ownership of this image exept me, because I am the only owner and creator (and I can prove it at any moment ! I can create new version of this imagr just on demand ! ). Weeks... Just incredible ! PS: I have aleady filled a ticket [Ticket#: 2015110910023722] just to sse if takes "weeks" on Wikimedia ! --Hilti99 (talk) 18:25, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Those files have been published elswhere so you will have to follow the procedure as described at com:OTRS. Those are the rules. Since eveything is run by a handfull volunteers who do this in their free time it can take a while. And yes, a lot of people commit copyfroud so the good have to suffer. The situation isn't ideal but if you have an alternative feel free to present it at com:VP. Current backlogg is 17 days. Natuur12 (talk) 18:55, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, and explaining

Hi Natuur, thank you for cleaning up a little mess I made. I clicked "needs permission" not realizing that (a) the kind of permission that means here is not model permission, and (b) I would not have a chance to review what action was being taken in my name before it was enacted. I had meant to return and clean up what I did, but you got to it first -- thank you. My original intent (as I stated in the DR) was to get it into a queue where it would be treated as a "speedy" request, rather than sitting in a DR and attracting more views (exactly what the subject appears to object to) for another week or so. If you are able to simply delete it now, I think that would be best. But it's up to you, I'm not planning on taking any further action on that, given my poor track record on it today :) -Pete F (talk) 23:06, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I already stated my opinion in the deletion request. While I can agree with a speedy deletion I consider it bad practice to delete files when I participated in the discussion in favour of deletion. Natuur12 (talk) 02:30, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Understood -- a wise practice. -Pete F (talk) 01:59, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Reason for a recent deletion?

Hi, yesterday on November 8 2015, 22:51, you deleted over 50 files for the reason of copyright violation. To be clear, I don't doubt that at least a few if not all of these files WERE copyright violations, I just would like to see the grounds for the deletion. Could you provide me a link me to the discussion? Or did all these images just not follow the attribution guidelines to the point, so that copyright violation was merely assumed, not factual? Thanks for clearing this up for me. --Enyavar (talk) 13:23, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Dear Enyavar,

Those files where nominated for speedy deletion by various users. The violation is always assumed since you can't say for a hundred percent sure that a file is indeed a copyright violation. (There is always a slim change that a file is actuelly okay) Some files have been deleted because they where published elswhere before being uploaded to Commons, had a watermark that indicated that the files are the work of a coörperation, one was a album cover etc. If you have questions about a specific deletion please let me know. The deletion of those files was in line with Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion unless I made a mistake. Natuur12 (talk) 14:50, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Dear Natuur, thanks for your quick reply. The files which are of interest for me are the following about indian politicians. Since I was neither the author nor the uploader of any of the files, I'm afraid I won't be able to provide certainty about a possible nonviolation even if you were to restore them. However, I'm interested in who nominated the images for speedy deletion, which reason was given (a complaint by the copyright holder is certainly a valid reason; deletion simply for the slightest possibility of a violation would be rather sad). Thanks a lot.

Since I don't know the attribution for the said files, I can no longer check if probably template:PD-India is applicable, since the photographs were published before the date limit. --Enyavar (talk) 17:52, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

• File:Liaquat-Ali-Khan-with-his-wife-Raana-Liaquat-Ali-Khan.jpg -> idem.

Yes, those three are certainly in the category suspected copyright violation but I can restore them for a regular DR if you want so that you can do some double checking. Natuur12 (talk) 18:06, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Sure, that would be great. If they have still to be deleted then, I can't complain ;) --Enyavar (talk) 18:45, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Thank you again. I inserted the Template:PD-India into the articles instead of the previous copyright templates, but am not certain if that proceeding and my reasoning in the linked DR is indeed correct. What's your opinion?

Also, um... yeah, the quality of all three images is actually poorer than I remembered, an original upload/replacement in better resolution and without the recoloring would greatly improve the files. But that's a different matter, I just say that I wouldn't be THAT sad if the images wind up getting deleted again. --Enyavar (talk) 01:06, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

I will state my opinion later but I am not sure if India is the source country since India didn't excist back than meaning that the work was published in the UK. The PD-India template seems to be incorrect since photographs wheren't free 50 years after creation but it was life + 50. I do hope that I am wrong about this. Natuur12 (talk) 01:50, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

well, I made an error, as the works are of persons from Pakistan, not India, my bad. However, both templates cite the same law in that matter: works before the respective independence fall under the British Copyright Act of 1911; a "creation+50" copyright seems to apply. --Enyavar (talk) 10:34, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

deleted image

You deleted an image by Ella Guru here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Ella_Guru,_Quentin_Crisp.jpg

on the basis there was no statement of permission. The page has gone now, but I believe there was a link from it to the Stuckism site where permission is given for this image. See: http://stuckism.com/GFDL/Guru.html

A similar situation applies to other Guru images e.g. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ella_Guru,_The_Bride.jpg

There are two links given. The second is to Guru's site (as stated on your deletion page for the Crisp image) but the first is to the Stuckism GFDL page giving permission, ie.

Summary from http://www.stuckism.com/GFDL/Guru.html permission =

See this page for a lot of images released under GFDL: http://stuckism.com/GFDL/index.html

This situation has arisen before. See higher up on the same wikipedia page where the Crisp image warning was posted for more examples of images that were threatened with removal from wikipedia: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kipof~commonswiki

Also higher up on that page is a deleted image Perry.jpg which I believe refers to another Guru image "Grayson Perry" also released under GFDL at the bottom of this page.

Perhaps someone could make a note of all this somewhere so that this situation does not keep on occurring.

The problem seems to be that there are two links under the image on the wikipedia page. The second goes to the artist's site (where there is no permission given) but the first goes to the Stuckism site (the group which the artist belongs to) where the permission is given. Administrators on wikipedia seem to see the second link but not notice the first link.

Thanks.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Seestucksite (talk • contribs)

Dear Seestucksite,

I did notice the link but the problem is that the link states the following: GFDL applies to this file only, not the original image.. You can't release just release the low res version of a file and not the high res version but if you believe I was to stricky you are free to ask for a second opinion at com:UNDEL. Natuur12 (talk) 10:41, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Surely you should follow official policy as at this page:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing

Gold seal policy v4.svg This page is considered an official policy on Wikimedia Commons.

It says:

"It has wide acceptance among editors and is considered a standard that everyone should follow. Sometimes, authors wish to release a lower quality or lower resolution version of an image or video under a free license, while applying stricter terms to higher quality versions. It is unclear whether such a distinction is legally enforceable, but Commons's policy is to respect the copyright holder's intentions by hosting only the lower quality version."

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seestucksite (talk • contribs) 13:48, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

To be honest, I am not sure if the policy is correct and the addition seems to be quite recent. (That's probably why I missed the update since it was discussed in a VP instead of using a RFC and I don't remember seeing a notice at an administrators noticeboard). Before this update closures could either be delete or kept. Depending on how the deleting admin interprets com:PCP. I can't stand behind this policy change and I think there was not enough consensus to implement it. I would have just left the DR for someone else if I knew about this change but I will not undelete them. Please make your request at com:UNDEL or just ask any other admin to restore it but I will not preform admin actions I don't agree with.

And yes, based on this newly provided info you seemed to have countered the original argument for deletion but stuff like this can be prevented by adding all the relevant info to the permission field at a file page. Natuur12 (talk) 14:19, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
