I do not understand why this was deleted. The stated reason is blatantly false. The claim is that I violated copyright. The two images in question are clearly marked CC non-commercial share-alike. Since the remixed image I uploaded was not for commercial purposes and was equally open licensed how can that be a violation of the the licensing attached to each of those individual images? Simply follow the links to the openly licensed images (https://www.flickr.com/photos/inarges/3957033389/in/pool-excelsiorsf/ and https://www.flickr.com/photos/senay7/3637876064/) and you can see the CC licenses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Libasstref (talk • contribs) 11:57, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

God evening,

today I have created a page for the French artist Gabriel Belot in German language. As the author of a 400 page monograph on this artist, I have uploaded 2 paintings by Gabriel Belot in my possession which have been blocked by a certain Lutheraner who claims a violation of the copyright. Gabriel Belot died in 1962. Matisse and Picasso for example died in 1954 and 1973 and still you find numerous images on their pages on wikipedia. I don't see any reason for blocking the upload of works that are in my possession. Could you kindly give me an explanation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by GabrielBelot (talk • contribs) 20:36, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

@ArtificeBoy and A1Cafel: Files were deleted as per a licence indicated in metadata, without considering uploader was the original author (and could therefore rightfully relicense his own work in order to make it Commons-compatible). A permission given via Twitter specifically confirms his intent to relicense, therefore these images could be kept. ››Fugitron - 10:01, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

The license difference constitutes a significant doubt (a) whether the uploader is the author or (b) whether the images were not pulished elsewhere pror to be uploaded to Commons. Otherwise, what is the point to declare different licenses in metadata and at upload? This can be resolved through COM:OTRS. Ankry (talk) 13:29, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
The author's aforementioned tweet shows he was not aware of the interdiction to use CC-BY-NC licensed media on the Wikimedia projects. He decided subsequently to release files under a Commons-compatible licence. The metadata identifies the author as Greg(ory) VIENOT - @ArtificeBoy, which strongly suggests this account belonged to him and was entitled to publishing and relicensing the now deleted files. The licence mentioned in metadata is simply obsolete, as EXIF data is not supposed to be edited. Problem is the files were deleted in June, which prompted an undestandable reaction from the uploader but he may not be contactable anymore, otherwise OTRS would have been the easiest way to sort this all out (even though circumstances show these relicensed files were almost certainly legitimate). ››Fugitron - 17:36, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Files of Bernard Le Grelle

There is a bunch of files which have been deleted because the client could not send message due to illness. We now received his message with Ticket:2021012710007651. The following files are either public domain or within the copyright of the client. Can they please be restored? I will then add the appropriate license tag and the permission tag.

Thanks, --Mussklprozz (talk) 18:01, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Comment: You should not necessarily trust what someone says just because they send something to OTRS. It doesn't mean that an OTRS acceptation should be given blindly. The claims must be believable. What is the rationale for the claim that the user owns the copyright on letters written by other people? On other uploads, the user's claims that photos of himself were taken with a timer sound unconvincing. Also, just the looks of File:Château Reigerbos à Berendrecht.png should already trigger alarm signals. The original photographer uploaded File:Berendrecht Sterrehof.JPG with exif in 2008. File:Château de Gestelhof.png is from Christie's. Etc. -- Asclepias (talk) 22:26, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
@Asclepias Unlike you, I cannot see deleted pictures. Furthermore, I know the client from a former correspondence where he had acted faithfully. For the letters, his argument is that they are written by US officials in an official function, hence fall under PD-USGov. I will write him now that his claim is challenged, so he can present his arguments here. --Mussklprozz (talk) 06:37, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
I don't see deleted files either. The question about the letters is based on filenames in the request. Other observations, as illustration of the user's behaviour, are based on files still visible in the user's uploads (not in the request). -- Asclepias (talk) 07:59, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
On second thought, I see that probably you were saying that the letters are public domain. If they are PD, I suppose that is ok. I'm still cautious about the "within the copyright of the client" part, considering the other uploads that the user claims as within his copyright when some are obviously not and some are dubious. But if it is your opinion that the files in the request are ok, I suppose they can be undeleted. -- Asclepias (talk) 00:01, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for your time on this. Here are my arguments for the following files :

Jean-Jacques Gueman (talk) 02:21, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for those precisions. I guess the files can be undeleted if the OTRS team is satisfied with the arguments and the sources. The previous attempt to justify the photo of Pierre Mauroy by saying that you personally took it was strange. I see that the argument about that one has changed. Other files, not in the undeletion request, leave a bad impression, such as photos of buildings uploaded in September with the claim of being the author when it's not the case. -- Asclepias (talk) 05:40, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi I am French and I am not aware of the American legislation on license plate copyright, I notice however that 2 of them have not been removed out of the 15. In order not to risk a new deletion for this same reason and also for future uploads (I have other license plates that I would like to put), maybe pass them in "public domain" by putting only the concerned state who is the author ? Like this : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Arizona_license_plate,_1980%E2%80%931996_series_with_March_1998_sticker.png On "NDC 866" AZ plate, the original file was uploaded by Marduk.

Concerning all the images by Gabriel Belot which I have uploaded, I would like to inform you that I have a written permission by Gabriel Belot's heir that I can reproduce his works. This gave me the possibility to write a 400 page printed monograph on the artist in which some of the works I wanted to upload on Wikipedia are already reproduced. I am happy to share the permission by Belot's heir with anyone who asks for it. I kindly ask therefore to allow the upload of works by Gabriel Belot.

Hello editor, i would like to request un-deletion of the above file as it doesn't lie in the copyright criteria.

I have clearly explained on it's talk page that it's not the copyright material and i have been given the authority by Islamia University to post it on their behalf so it can be used freely by anyone.

Further explanation: the old logo of Islamia University was in green color and was changed recently, so i worked on it's publication and was allowed to update it on wikipedia page of Islamia University.

Therefore i would be happy to hear more from you and request un-deletion of this image file.

Thanks Asim mz (talk) 05:02, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

 Question What is your claim file [...] doesn't lie in the copyright criteria based on? I see nothing about Pakistan in COM:TOO. Is there a legal decision or a legal opinion concerning this or similar logo? If the file is not copyrightable, why did you need a permission to use it? If a copyright-related permission from the University authorities is required, we need it to be send us directly as a free license permission following COM:OTRS.

Unlike the others deleted from my list, this one is of a "simple design" and I think it deserves to be restored.

Well, there is a simple test. @Drake317: If you blur the ship in the bottom line, you can reupload the image. If you think that bluring it will alter the plate too much, then it cannot be considered de minimus, and the image should remain deleted. Decision is yours. Ankry (talk) 21:37, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi. Unfortunately I cannot remove the ship: in this case, the plate would be considered false, which would not be an admissible photo for Wikipedia either. This design is just an oversimplification taken from one of the ships that arrived to colonize Virginia in 1607, moreover these plates are almost 20 yo and are very rare with the Virginia in blue above (less than 50,000 produced, maybe less than 30,000). Maybe it is possible to put it in the simple design category, since there is nothing else special on this plate ? It's up to you to decide.Drake317 (talk) 22:56, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

I assume this image is the same as the one found in the Philippine House of Representatives website. I request undeletion since it is a work of the Philippine government and thus is in the public domain per Template:PD-PhilippinesGov. Howhontanozaz (talk) 08:14, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Why do you believe it is a work of the Philippine congress? Thuresson (talk) 18:28, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
@Thuresson: Because it is her official 18th Congress photo as posted in the official website of the House of Representatives. See Category:Members of the Philippine House of Representatives for other photos of congresspersons sourced from the House of Representatives official website. Howhontanozaz (talk) 02:02, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
 Comment the photographer must be an employee of the HOR for the photo to be compliant with {{PD-PhilippinesGov}}. Also, from a brief answer of IPOPHL–BCRR during the Feb. 10, 2021 IPOPHL–Wikimedia webinar, @Howhontanozaz: "you have to dig deeper". Determine if the photographer who is an employee of HOR took this photo while on his offcially prescribed duties. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 03:51, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
@JWilz12345: Would there really be any doubt as to the PD status of an Official portrait of a member of Congress as posted in the Official Website of said institution? Anyways, I have gone ahead and contacted the House Press and Public Affairs Bureau for clarification. Howhontanozaz (talk) 04:16, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
@Howhontanozaz: at least that's what transpired from the dialogue last Feb. 10. Philippine government works should be dealt with caution. For example, not all photos found on websites of a certain government agency can be arbitrarily considered as in public domain, because some might have been taken by people who are actually not government employees, or by government employees who took the photo while not on duty in the government. And it's good you contacted the relevant bureau of the HOR for clarification. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 04:24, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
@JWilz12345: I have received a reply from Ms. Celine Marie F. Buencamino, Ph. D., the Director of Media Affairs and Public Relations Service of the House of Representatives which I quote in full:

Hi. Regarding your inquiry on the portrait photos, they were taken by Ocs Alvarez who was hired by our Institutional Information and Design Service (IIDS) to do the photoshoots for the last three years. They are actually the ones in charge of the wall at the main entrance lobby with all the solo photos of House Members. Hope this information has helped. Thank you.

 Support I'm satisfied with this investigation. Thuresson (talk) 19:44, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
 Comment from our exchange of chats thru Messenger, Howhontanozaz will try to verify if there has been a contract of copyright transfer between Ocs Alvarez and the House of Representatives, as Mr. Alvarez (per his official website) seems to be a commercial photographer, and not part of the government (and HOR is one of his clients). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 04:06, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
@JWilz12345: Do you withdraw the request? Ankry (talk) 15:37, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

I respectfully  withdraw my request for undeletion. I have already sent a draft declaration of consent to a representative of the House of Representatives of the Philippines. The ball is now on their side if they would approve of it or not. Howhontanozaz (talk) 05:49, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
@Howhontanozaz: I fear that this withdrawal may have a domino effect on images of various Congressmen and Congresswomen hosted here, as Ocs Alvarez seems to be a regular hired photographer at Congress per his website. :-( JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 15:23, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

[1], 2) he licenses the picture under CC BY-SA 4.0 there, 3) the uploader claims that they have permission of Takahashi in Japanese. The only reservation might be the fact that the uploader marked it 'own work', but everything else (including their own words) says it's Takahashi's, so I think it's reasonable to say the marking was a mistake. The file page will need to be modified accordingly. whym (talk) 12:42, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
  • @Whym: A subject claiming to be the copyright holder does not provide any assurance that they are indeed the copyright holder.

    • @Nat: [2] says "髙橋竜太作" - "self-photographed by Ryuta Takahashi" if I take it literally.

  • @Whym: Going back to you original statement of support for undeletion, if you look at the file history, the uploader did not mark the file as own work in the source. They clearly wrote "この写真は髙橋竜太本人から頂き使用許可得た写真です。何人に対しても、無制限な再配布、商用、改変を含めたあらゆる目的にこの著作物を利用することを許諾しますとの同意を得ております。" ("This photo was obtained from Ryuta Takahashi himself and was licensed. We have agreed to permit anyone to use this work for any purpose, including unlimited redistribution, commercialization, and modification.") AND claimed to be author in the file description. The upload wizard is clear -- Under the authorship section clearly asks who is the author: (in Japanese) "作者 写真を撮ったり、絵や図面を描いたり塗ったりなどした人の名前" or (in English) "Author The name of the person who took the picture, drew or painted a picture or drawing". So that places significant doubt either statement (on the website and on Commons) -- And needs the entire situation needs to be clarified. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 02:30, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Requesting you to undelete the above mentioned file as well. This digital copy was scanned by me recently and has been used in public forums and physical spaces. There are no copy right issues regarding this image. The painting was drawn in the 1880s and the author has been deceased for over a 100 years. Randomscholar1996 (talk) 07:55, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

@Randomscholar1996: Who is the artist? Thuresson (talk) 12:41, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
@Thuresson: There is no mentions regarding the artist. The painting is of Thomas Mar Athanasius, a bishop of the Church in India. Such old paintings normally does not attribute to any names. Randomscholar1996 (talk) 15:41, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
You wrote "the author has been deceased for over a 100 years" so I must insist on the name of the artist. Thuresson (talk) 16:23, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
Or at least source is needed to verify that this is indeed an anonymous 1880 painting. Claiming that you are the painter (author) makes your other statements not reliable and we need to verify them. Ankry (talk) 21:50, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
I am not the direct author(painter), rather author as the person who scanned the painting. There is no mention of the original painter. The author that I am mentioning here is the Bishop himself who passed away in 1898, as there are no other mentions as to who actually painted it.
The painting may be {{PD-old-assumed}} but we need external evidence of what you say. As some of your earlier claims were false/incorrect ({{Own work}} at upload meaning that you are the painter, The author that I am mentioning here is the Bishop himself meaning that you claim this to be an autoportrait of the bishop, self-painted by him - was the bishop indeed a painter???) Moreover, the image is low resolution, so unlikely to be your own original photo of the painting made using your own camera. How can we verify that this is a photo of a 1880 painting and not a contemporary copy? Not pointing out the sources of the image and of the information is not helpful.

For some reason this file was deleted. It is my own picture. I believe that there is no any prove that it is not? (Victor111222 (talk) 20:33, 2 April 2021 (UTC))

@Victor111222: Per policy, it is up to the uploader to prove that they are the author, not up to others that you are not. The image is low resolution, much lower that an image originating from any modern digital camera. If this is your photo, we may need to see its original version. Another problem is whether it is in COM:SCOPE: who is the person on the photo and where the photo is intended to be used? Ankry (talk) 21:13, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

- Ankry: I do not save pictures and I declared that this is my own photo and it is not published in any other places in the internet, except in my article. The reason for the low quality is that I sent this picture from my phone to my computer via a messenger (Victor111222 (talk) 21:42, 2 April 2021 (UTC))

@Victor111222: So you need to convince Didym and Gbawden that we can apply COM:AGF here. Such a declaration is OK until somebody doubts it. Then you need to provide an evidence. Ankry (talk) 18:45, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Files uploaded by Mdale

Hi. Please restore these files, which were deleted after nomination at Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Mdale.

Some of them were used within the documentation page for the historical software at Commons:Sequencer (which should be preserved for-the-record), and also used within external locations such as this blog post (which now has missing images). Those specific files, and probably all of them, should be available in order to clearly understand the past project, and potentially inform any similar future software projects by us or others.

Much thanks. Quiddity (talk) 20:40, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

@Ankry and Fitindia: I'm not sure if the other files might have been in use in other external or internal locations. I don't know what those files are specifically, or if they might be useful elsewhere (even if they weren't actively used already).
Also note that they may have been simply linked from discussions elsewhere, so the "File usage" sections are often not a perfect indicator of whether files are "used" anywhere, even internally.
I'd suggest undeleting them all, perhaps after taking a glance at them yourselves first to determine if they might be at al useful to anyone. Thanks for looking into it. :) Quiddity (talk) 20:16, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Fête des Lumières images

According to input by Yann at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Cath. St Jean (2).JPG, ordinary lights alone cannot be copyrighted (similar to Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2021-02#File:EiffelToweratNight.jpg). Therefore I propose the restoration of the following:

Also restoration (at least temporary undeletion to allow review of the files by Wikimedians from France, to ensure that images containing copyrighted buildings/sculptures/3D or 2D installations are excluded from restoration):

{{O}} Maybe, some of the images are not copyrighted, but some of them are presenting copyrightable artistic instalation (IMO), eg File:Bottles-ceiling.JPG or File:Tunnel lum.jpg. So they should be investigated in image per image basis. Paints and painted walls are not copyrighted, but some paintings are. Same with lights, IMO. Ankry (talk) 13:49, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
@Ankry: the reason why I'm requesting a temporary undeletion to facilitate discussion, so that French Wikipedians will be able to reviee them all. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 08:51, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
As I mentioned above: this needs investigation on per-image basis. And I do not think we can have such per image discussion about so many images in a single UDR request. Eg. about two images you from the request that are not deleted. Ankry (talk) 12:28, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
@Ankry: the two images are actually different from the previous deleted images of the same filename that were overwritten when these were uploaded. The evidence is the deletion log of the closing admin and the time and date of the deletions. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 11:42, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
If it was not clear from the above, I refrain from handling this request due to its complexity. But if another admin finds that the complexity is not a problem, I may refrain from my oppose. Older versions of images needs special handling; they cannot be simply {{Temporarily undeleted}}; and this is another factor increasing the request complexity. That's all. Ankry (talk) 12:22, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Renaming requests are now underway (File:Bellecour.jpg => File:Place Bellecour 2014-01-11.jpg, and File:Fourviere.jpg => File:Basilique Notre Dame de Fourvière (Lyon).jpg), so that the resulting redirects can be deleted and the temporary undeletion can now be proceeded. It appears the current file occupants for the two file names are not in use (one of them in an OgreBot automated listing, but I can update the filename in that listing once the request to rename has been fulfilled). Also, I slashed out two files that Ankry noted above. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 17:13, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
  •  Support for most of these files. I don't think there could be a copyright for colored light on an old building. Some of these files show recent sculptures or buildings, so there may be a copyright there (i.e. 4 among the last 5 files). Regards, Yann (talk) 19:18, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

I just want to know why this file and my 25 other files related to the “Southwest Airlines” topic got deleted in the first place. I was adding photographic evidence on some of the empty columns because no one knows what that plane looks like.

moved from Commons:Deletion requests/Commons:Deletion requests/File:Arranjador Hugo Bellard.jpg --Achim (talk) 19:07, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Prezados editores, boa tarde. A wikipedia deletou uma foto minha, tirada por volta de 1998 po rminha filha, e que fazia parte da página de minha carreira Hugo Bellard. https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Bellard

Coloquei algumas fotos e modernizei um pouco a página porque ela tinha sido feita há uns 20 anos atrás por uma pessoa chamada Marta Ambrosio que fazia páginas para diversas pessoas do meio musical. Parecia página de alguém falecido.

Ninguém mais sabe onde a Marta Ambrosio está. Parece que foi banida da Wikipedia por motivos que desconheço. Uma foto de minha pessoa que eu próprio coloquei agora recentemente File:Arranjador Hugo Bellard.jpg foi apagada, sob aviso de copyright.

Acontece que esta foto é tão antiga quanto a internet, quando poucas páginas existiam. É mais antiga que a própria Wikipedia. Ela está na página https://musikcity.mus.br/divulgacao.html desde então (1998 aproximadamente).

Segundo o Wikimedia Commons, esta foto pertence a https://elizabethdiariodamusica.blogspot.com/2010/11/hugo-bellard.html . Isso não é verdade, embora eu não me importe que a foto esteja lá. Esta foto foi tirada por minha filha, com minha câmera, em minha casa, no meu ambiente de trabalho.

A dona do blogspot certamente copiou da minha página citada, visto que o blogspot nem existia em 1998. Além do que a página tem como título o meu nome, o que prova que a foto é minha !

Aguardo revisão da decisão, com o direito que qualquer um possa usar.

Obrigado, fiquem com Deus,

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

ich finde die Arbeitsweise hier schlicht unglaublich.

Ich habe dieses Foto nun mal leider nicht selbst gemacht, aber es ist öffentlich verfügbar und zwar unter

Someone deleted this picture because a clipped version of it is visible on my web page. I own the image and granted Creative Commons use. I also put the clipped image on my web page. A cursory examination would have shown that the image on the web page is actually derived from this image rather than the other way round.

  •  Oppose - It is not possible for us to know the source of an image. It is, for example, perfectly possible that an even more complete version exists at a site that is unknown to us. Accordingly, amount of cropping is not a meaningful metric; this is why the temporal consideration, previous publication, is the function of the referenced source and indeed a condition for which COM:OTRS evidence of permission must be provided (unless, of course, you can add an acceptable CC license to that site as indicated above).

  •  Oppose - Previously published images require COM:OTRS evidence of permission. Further, as copyright initially vests in the author (photographer), not the mere subject ("it was obtained with permission from the subject"), the aforementioned permission will need to be in the form of a) direct (we cannot accept forwarded) correspondence from the author or b) the document that transferred rights from the author to the subject and evidence you are an authorised agent of the subject.

Hi, Could an admin undelete File:Fishy Mobile.jpg please - It was deleted because of DW (due to the fish image on the van) however the deleting admin is refusing to undelete it despite me saying I'll send to DR if necessary.
The offending material on the van can be photoshopped out and as the image is of good quality and in scope I'm not really seeing a reason to keep deleted.
Many thanks, Kind Regards, –Davey2010Talk 14:54, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - This is neither good quality nor in scope. The image is small (960 × 541), overexposed, not quite in focus, and the proposed removal of the logo would only add photoshopping to the quality infirmities. Given the numerous superior quality images at Category:Dodge Ram Van, I'm hard pressed to believe there a genuine expectation of this image's educational use for either a van or the business (an entirely unremarkable local fish store, whose article was indeed deleted.) Эlcobbola talk 15:23, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
Ah okay I only assumed the resolution was bigger. It's a shame but it is what it is. Personally I still believe the file is in scope but when 2 admins tell you it's not worth undeleting it then I guess it really isn't worth it. Ah well thanks anyway. –Davey2010Talk 15:28, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

The file is a midi. I would like for the file to get undeleted and restored so that we dont have to go to youtube to hear what it sounds like. it is also public domain and not copyrighted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adam Hegazy33725 (talk • contribs) 15:53, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - The melody/arrangement may be public domain, but this particular midi performance (a sound recording) also has its own copyright and the site from which it was sourced has terms that include "You agree not to use this site or its Content for any commercial purposes" which is an unacceptable condition. Эlcobbola talk 16:06, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
  •  Weak support I do not think the midi file can be considered a performance or a sound recording as it is likely computer software generated music. However, I suggest the requester (if they have the original PD score) to regenerate the midi using software like Lilypond. This will cut off any doubts related to originating from a non-commercial site. Ankry (talk) 17:21, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
A sound recording is a work "that result[s] from the fixation of a series of musical, spoken, or other sounds but not including sounds accompanying a motion picture or other audiovisual work.” (17 U.S.C. 101) That's unambiguously what this is. A human being played and recorded this music (very commonly on a keyboard linked through a midi interface) and stored it in a midi format; to argue this is "computer software generated music" is patent nonsense.

Hi,

It seems that these files: File:Pieczec gminy klodawa.jpg, File:Herb gminy klodawa.jpg, File:Flaga gminy klodawa.jpg, File:Herb używany cdr.png - were deleted as not having sufficient agreement - however all of them are official signs of the w:en:Gmina Kłodawa, Greater Poland Voivodeship. Accoroding to Polish law "normative acts and drafts thereof as well as official documents, materials, signs and symbols are not subject to copyrights" - so they are PD, and they were properly marked as such... Polimerek (talk) 14:33, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

@JuTa and Fitindia: Why did you find {{Polishsymbol}} not suitable for these legal act fragments? Ankry (talk) 19:07, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
They have been uploaded with author=User:Ask (the uploader), this cannot be and should be fixed in case of restoration. --JuTa 06:57, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
Sorry, I don't understand this answer. In case of PD files - it really doesn't matter who uploaded them. As I remember there were proper descriptions there stating from which legal acts they were retrieved. Polimerek (talk) 11:58, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
undeleted @Polimerek: Please note that there was a typo in the last fileneme. It should be File:Herb uzywany cdr.png. Noting that I still consider that requesting to confirm copyright for a file while it is clearly stated that there is no copyright for it was an out-of-process action. For non-copyrighted legal documents, their creators are considered to be technicians, not authors, so any information about authorship is void and irrelevant here (and, consequently, incorrect; the only "correct" information would be to remove the field completely).

Reason: Files were deleted at Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:SMX Convention Center (no FOP). Judging from the file names, however, I think these three were collaterally deleted.

  •  Support for the first two. Those are photos of vehicles where any parts of the building are de minimis.

 Not done: Procedural close. Nothing to be accomplised here. Deletions which are correct based on the current deletion, project scope and licensing policies will not be undone. File is an unambiguous case of COM:NETCOPYVIO with no indication of a free licence at source. Additionally, ownership or possession of a photo, proprietorship of the equipment used to take the photo, or being the subject of the photo does not equate holding the copyright. The copyright holder is the photographer (i.e. the person who took the photo), rather that the subject (the person who appears in the photo) or the person possessing the photo, unless transferred by operation of law (e.g. inheritance, etc.) or by contract (written and signed by the copyright holder, and explicitly transfers the copyright). Please note that in some jurisdictions, the law may not permit transfers or assignment of rights.

@Dievochka: Works previously published elsewhere require that the copyright holder send permission and a specific release under an accepted free licence using OTRS. Once OTRS has determined to have receive sufficient permission and there is no other valid rationale for deletion, an OTRS agent will perform or request undeletion.

    • If there is a doubt whether a permission is from copyright holder, the OTRS agent should not request undeletion. It is not role of a Commons admin to verify a ticket if they are not handling it. Maybe, a better procedure for OTRS agents to access deleted images is needed, but this is not the right venue to discuss this issue. Ankry (talk) 11:42, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

I have redeleted the file, but will leave this request open. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 12:54, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
      • Well, if this is the official position, I see no option. I requested my OTRS permission rights to be dropped as I voluntarily refuse to take actions related to permission tickets in OTRS in English language. As the community decided that the commons admin rights and OTRS access rights should be separated, my position is that actions related to these permissions should also be separated.

File:Bandar Labuan, WPL.jpg request for undeletion

File:Bandar Labuan, WPL.jpg

This is my own work which all the photographs were taken by myself with my smartphone around 2019. These pictures didn't violate any wikipedia rules as there's no external sources can be found to look for these images as it only can be found by myself. As I uploaded few images that violated Wikimedia rules, this one was exceptional. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aidlfarhn (talk • contribs) 15:35, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose @Aidlfarhn: Unless you can provide an evidence that all other photos from this DR are also your work, I do not tink that we can apply COM:AGF here. In order to undelete the photo, you need to provide an evidence that the photos used in this collage are indeed yours and unpublished (eg. uploading their original versions with complete EXIF to Commons).

This image has been granted for unrestricted use by Safeway. Here is the content of the email with approval. The image shows the first president of Safeway, MB Skaggs, the fact that Safeway was actually Skagg-Safeway in the beginning, and the Safeway logo we see today. It is a composite image that sets the stage for the article. I wish I understood how to defend an image's use without having to go through this process.


Dear Mr. Nielson,

Thank you for being so patient with us. As you may imagine, sometimes processing inquiries such as yours takes longer than expected, but the good news is that based on your intended use described to us in an email dated April 5, 2007, we will grant you the right to use the Skaggs family picture on Wikipedia’s website with no restrictions. Other than this email authorization, what else do you need from us? Please let me know.

  • @Don Nielson: "we will grant you the right to use the Skaggs family picture on Wikipedia’s website with no restrictions" is an insufficient licence per Commons' licensing policy. For us to consider undeletion, we would need to know the copyright status of the images.

        (1) We would need to know when the images depicted were first published (note : publication does not equate creation),
        (2) who are the photographers,
        (3) who is the creator of the derivative work (the collage).

    If the images depicted are determined to be still under copyright, then permission and a specific release under an accepted free licence is needed from the copyright holder(s) of the photos (i.e. the photographers, unless copyright was transferred by operation of law or by contract) and, regardless if the images themselves have entered the public domain, from the copyright holder of the derivative work (i.e. the creator of the collage unless copyright was transferred by operation of law or by contract).

Hi there,

The image is indeed from a funeral card, however, I omitted to say that the funeral card is a publically accessible resource held in the London Metropolitan Archives of the city of London. Sorry about that. I have now found the detail of the image here: London Metropolitan Archives, Item Reference: B08/103. The item is described as 'personal papers incl letters and photographs'. I believe the image is in the public domain - but please tell me if you think I am wrong.Many Thanks--ArchivesandLetters (talk) 23:42, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

  • @ArchivesandLetters:  Oppose This photo is certainly not in the public domain based on the information provided. As it was taken in Hendon, then we can safely assume that the work originate from the United Kingdom. The year it was taken was 1951, and, as authorship is not apparent at the moment, we will assume that the author is unknown. Under British copyright law and based on the information and assumptions above, for photographs created before 30 June 1957: copyright protection last for 70 years from the end of the calendar year after creation if unpublished, 70 years from the end of the calendar year after publication if published within 70 years of creation. If this is from the subject Samuel Chinque's funeral card and the subject died in 2004, and assuming it was first published in 2004, then it was certainly published within 70 years of creation (1951+70+1=2022). Had the photo remained unpublished, then the copyright would expire in 2022. If 2004 is considered the publication date, then it would enter into the public domain in the United Kingdom in 2075 (2004+70+1). As it was still assumed to be under copyright protection in the United Kingdom on 1 January 1996, it remains copyrighted in the United States -- under Commons policy both UK (the country of origin) and US (the host country for WMF's servers) laws apply. Under US law, copyright of works of unknown authorship expire the earlier of, if first published after 2002, 95 years after first publication or, if remained unpublished, 120 years after creation. Therefore, if the photo was first published in 2004, then US copyright protections for the photo would expire in 2072 (1951+120+1 -- the earlier of the two durations given under US law) --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 04:49, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

The photo belongs to the person who appears in it, because she took it herself with her device, precisely in anticipation of being able to use it on the internet freely. She is the owner of the picture and in the following link she acknowledges it and gives her consent to its use on Wikipedia.

Its first appearance was in its publication on Twitter and Instagram, in the rest where it may appear published, they are much later and also with prior permission. First appearance in her networks, she publicly acknowledging the ownership of the photo and its assignment to be used here. There is no other way to prove that she is the owner of that picture.

this was closed because (Jameslwoodward) in [3] concluded that the law does not mean that the works are in the public domain. However, according to the State Library, as far as they are concern, it does [4]

@Reboot01: The library does not need to make derivative works. In order to go on here you need to address the issues raised in the DR. Ankry (talk) 22:55, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
Then I guess I'm going to contact the state archives and have them confirm or deny PD status. Reboot01 (talk) 23:20, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
User:Ankry What should I change for the default OTRS template to make it worded properly?
I hereby affirm that I choose one: [am name] or [represent copyright holder's name], the choose one: [creator] or [sole owner] of the exclusive copyright of choose one: [the media work] or [the work depicted in the media] or [both the work depicted and the media] as shown here: [exact URL of the file uploaded on Wikimedia Commons], and have legal authority in my capacity to release the copyright of that work.
As this isn't a copyright holder, this is just a representative of the State Government. Reboot01 (talk) 23:42, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
  • Reading over the initial request, there are several fallacious arguments. LGA, you have provided no clear evidence that the State Library’s disclaimer notice is intended to be tied to the government works as a whole. That is a general notice, transferring liability from the library to the end user for copyright concerns; in my experience, such notices are intended to waive liability in regards to works with private copyright that the library does not want to definitively claim as being in the public domain. In this instance, it may also apply to copyrighted works within government works used legitimately by governments, which would not be fair to reproduce. Your constitutional/legal arguments are similarly false. The right granted is not “obtain[ing] copies of their public records and public information free or at minimal cost;” that is merely the policy of the state to enforce the real right, which is stated earlier: “The public records and public information compiled by the agencies of North Carolina government or its subdivisions are the property of the people.” The “copyright” of the works rests in the people, which means that there is no copyright, in the same manner as with federal law (although I do not remember the exact phrasing). TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 01:05, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
    Copyright at Harvard Library Harvard also agrees. Reboot01 (talk) 01:59, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
  • The law itself is a public records law, but does use the term "the property of the people". The Harvard site does mention that declaration, which is indeed a favorable interpretation for us. I'm not sure it has come up in a court really -- the Harvard site does mention that geographical database data, while a public record, can be prohibited from being used commercially. Harvard gives the state a status of "yellow", and I think to date we only have templates for places rated green or light green, and depend more on either court cases or statements from more central government officials. (Virginia is also rated light green, though only because they seem to have started on a policy to license at least some material with CC licenses, but their works are not automatically PD.). The question is if a statement from a state library is enough to use for the works of the entire government, or just works from the library site. The DOT terms of use, and the main government site terms of use, give a very different sense however. Carl Lindberg (talk) 04:05, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose The library site takes an ambiguous position -- while it uses the words "public domain", it ends with a statement that it is up to the user to determine the status of any item.

The state government site is more definite,

"Unless otherwise noted on an individual document, the state of North Carolina grants permission to copy and distribute non-image files, documents, and information for non-commercial use, provided they are copied and distributed without alteration.
Photos and other images appearing on our websites have been purchased with a license for limited use. Use of any photos or images appearing on any state website is strictly prohibited."

Commercial use of anything, text or image, is prohibited and all use of images is prohibited. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:28, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

(Above per original listing.) The images are derived from the document. The bulletin was published in the United States in 1986, without a copyright notice. Thus, for copyright to apply, there must have been registration within five years of publication. There was not. Thus, the work is in the public domain per PD-US-1978-89. I raised this point during the deletion discussion, but it was ignored in the decision. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 01:12, 8 March 2021 (UTC).

 Doing… Ankry (talk) 21:34, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
It's interesting to see how the 'harmonization' project for IA books is helping to clarify the 2015 uploads. If there are decisions that can apply across a collection, in this case to the bulletin, it may be worth adding (and remembering to check) with the project page at COM:IA books#Exemplar_deletion_requests. -- (talk) 10:12, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
@: The main problem here was Commons policy change (PDM was no longer considered a valid declaration and more precise copyright status was required) and lack of housekeeping of the uploaded images. Due to inaccurate data from IA, many of then require manual fixes. Another problem is that many of them are badly cropped, so useless. I am leaving them here in hope that the description data will help somebody to upload their fixed versions (overwriting). If nobody cares, they are to be deleted.
I am negative about mass uploads that nobody cares of later. I was considering mass upload of about 200k scanned PD books (and about 1300k newspapers/magazines) from The Polish National Library but I found it pointless without regular housekeeping. Ankry (talk) 18:20, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
On documents, Certainly, it's a debating point and the search system needs a rethink of design (even the planned new media search). However, one of the motivations to start this particular project was the legal challenge last year against IA by a publisher. Though "we" could probably rescue the files from a backup to the archives, if a take-down was subject to ongoing litigation, that might be made either legally inadvisable or 'technically' problematic. There's also a reference benefit of holding large or complete runs of things like scans of old newspapers, even if the number of times they are used by Wikimedians is very low and they are never used directly in Wikipedia articles.
WRT individual images, agree it's even more debatable when the whole document is available too. -- (talk) 20:16, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

@Nat: Probably 1920. It was taken to be sold as a postcard, and was published as such soon after, certainly before 1927. Several photographers made a living issuing postcards of naval ships and they were commonplace, none show dates. The marketplace for postcards evaporated completely well before WW2, due to the needs for secrecy, aside from market shrinkage; I.E. reduction of the navy and smaller crews. The IWM for example (even if they have a copy cannot say anything about the acquisition, of naval photographs other than approximate dates of being taken.

Where is it licensed? For previously published images (eg. on IMDB), on-wiki license declaration is not sufficient. Policy requires the uploader to provide license evidence in such cases. Ankry (talk) 21:10, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
  •  Oppose -The IMDB link referenced in the deletion rationale was not to suggest IMDB owns the copyright, but to demonstrate previous publication which is a condition for which we require additional evidence of permission to be submitted using COM:OTRS. IMDB, further, is user-editable, so license declarations there are not acceptable. As an apt example and demonstration: this image also appeared elsewhere on IMDB, before the version referenced in the deletion rationale, without a free license.

Hellow, this is my image.... How can it be an act of copyright violation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Isfaretehami (talk • contribs) 22:40, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - 1) Previously published images require COM:OTRS evidence of permission and 2) you (Isfaretehami) purport to be the subject (Isfar Tehami). Copyright initially vests in the author (photographer), not the mere subject and thus you (subject) would not hold copyright unless formally transferred in writing. The aforementioned evidence must thus be either the actual author's permission or a copy of the conveying document. Эlcobbola talk 22:50, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: Procedural close. Nothing to be accomplished here.

@Isfaretehami: Ownership or possession of a photo, proprietorship of the equipment used to take the photo, or being the subject of the photo does not equate holding the copyright. The copyright holder is the photographer (i.e. the person who took the photo), rather that the subject (the person who appears in the photo) or the person possessing the photo, unless transferred by operation of law (e.g. inheritance, etc.) or by contract (written and signed by the copyright holder, and explicitly transfers the copyright). Please note that in some jurisdictions, the law may not permit transfers or assignment of rights.

For the possibility of undeletion, the copyright holder must send permission and a specific release under an accepted free licence using OTRS. Please note that OTRS is not able to accept forwarded statements or proxy permissions for legal reasons. Once OTRS has determined to have receive sufficient permission and there is no other valid rationale for deletion, an OTRS agent will perform or request undeletion.

Restoration of some files

Hi, I ask the restoration of these files:

These files had been deleted because they have been believed not free content.

  • I indicated the source for each file. However, the links I indicated as sources started with "www.legislature.camera.it/" instead with "www.dati.camera.it/". But the images are exactly the same in both sites, and the copyright holder is the same (Camera). These images should not have been deleted: changing the source was sufficient. In fact, yesterday an other admin (@Jaqen: ) changed the source of an other image, File:Sergio Mattarella daticamera 1992.jpg, from "legislature.camera.it/" to "data.camera.it" (see Revision #552605695): he didn't delete that file, but he changed only the source. Images (I repeat) are the same in both sites.

Consider, for example:

File deleted Source I had shown Alternative source
File:Adelmo Riccardi.jpg "legislature.camera.it/" "dati.camera.it/"

So, there is not any copyright violation and the license I had indicated is correct.

For these reasons, I'm sure that every admin will want to restore all files, and I can modify the URL of the sources without any problem; on the countrary, I please him to explain which differences would exist with the case of File:Sergio Mattarella daticamera 1992.jpg, so that I could understand. Thank you. --151 cp (talk) 23:34, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Undelete claim for photos taken by Gabrielle Stubbert

With Ticket:2021040910011791 we received a permission for the follwing pictures, claimed to be photographed by Gabrielle Stubbert. The permission comes from an official email address of the company which is run by her:

Can some admin please check, and restore the files if the case is acceptable? – --Mussklprozz (talk) 15:35, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

@Mussklprozz: Well, I have no idea how can I verify whether or which of the images were made by the specified photographer. They do not contain EXIF, some of them are just very smalll thumbnails, also a collage with Tamerlaine Sanctuary logo and a map. Any hints how do you expect others to identify the photographer are welcome. Ankry (talk) 14:57, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
@Ankry: I will write back to the client. --Mussklprozz (talk) 06:29, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
I invited her to present her arguments here. Please keep the images deleted for now. --Mussklprozz (talk) 12:33, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
@Ankry: @Mussklprozz: Hi there. I represent Gabby and work for her. I disclosed this in the article I'm working on about Tamerlaine Sanctuary. Gabby is the founder of Tamerlaine, and having once worked as a professional photographer, she also takes photos for our website and other media. I cc'ed her on my emails to Mussklprozz. That email included an email with your template for claiming to be a representative of the photographer, which I assumed was sufficient evidence. What else can I send you as proof? I'm happy to do so. You can go on our website tamerlaine.org and find many of the photographs there. As for the thumbnails, that's my error--I wasn't aware some of them were so small. I took photos from our website and apparently didn't size them appropriately. Once you undelete them, I'll be able to see which photos need to be revised. Thank you for helping me with this. I appreciate your work and effort and am happy to do whatever needs to be done to clear this up.Vegan4theAnimals (talk) 20:01, 17 April 2021 (UTC)katie@tamerlaine.org
@Vegan4theAnimals: All those arguments speak for you. That's why I issued this undelete request. Presenting the originals with exif data could strengthen your argument. --Mussklprozz (talk) 06:09, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
@Elcobbola: I don't get this. Wikipedia has a rule that people can disclose when they work somewhere. That means I am not the only person writing about the place they work, right? They must have this rule in place for a reason? But I can't tell if you have an issue with this no matter what changes I make, in which case, please say so. I've written textbooks for Pearson, McGraw, and many other educational publishers, and I am HAPPY to make edits to abide by a client's style. To point, I have taken every step you have asked. Last time I asked you for another review, you never got back to me but wrote this instead, so I submitted it. I did not change the captions once I realized they were too glib for wikipedia's style because the photos were being deleted. I do plan on it, and I do think the photos will be useful for other works by other people. As for our small size, it's true that we are new, but we also just got accreditation from the top watchdog of animal sanctuaries around the world, Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries. This is the standard for ensuring an animal sanctuary is real, ethical, and up to par in general. For example, PETA recommends ensuring a sanctuary has this before visiting or donating. The Historian's name is Loren Mortimer, who lived in the home on the property we bought. Here is info on him: http://lorenmichaelmortimer.com/. I am happy to have him write something if you'd like, please let me know. As my article states, the Mortimers lived there mid-century, until Tamerlaine bought it; He grew up in the house. I'm sure you have your hands full, but I have given you my best efforts to meet your requirements and been nothing but cooperative, so please assume the best of me. Please let me know if you will have an issue no matter what changes I make because I work there. @Mussklprozz: As for the monarch, I was unaware all the photos in our database weren't hers as she is our photographer. I'm going to delete any that don't specifically show animals at the Sanctuary, and I'm going to double-check the rest and get whatever data I can from her. I will write in with more info when I have it, if we could put this off until then? Thank you. Here is the link to the full discussion I've had with Elcobbola about this, making every effort to improve this to meet Wikipedia's requirements and style. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_talk:Tamerlaine_Sanctuary_and_Preserve Vegan4theAnimals (talk) 20:57, 18 April 2021 (UTC)Katie
@Vegan4theAnimals and Elcobbola: While I do not see "not notable" arguments among the article rejection reasons, I think that it is reasonable to wait with these images (and the related OTRS ticket) until the article is accepted (if ever). Presence or absence of images does not inflict article subject notability or the article style so the images can be added later. Ankry (talk) 21:32, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
COM:SCOPE requires use for a realistic educational purpose which inherently requires us to make assessments of notability. Photos for a vanity article on a "a smaller sanctuary just starting out" are not in scope; indeed, a picture of "jasper the smiling goat" is nothing more than a personal image. I don't frankly know why you're responding the scope point given it is moot relative to copyright concerns. The uploader/ticket sender has made demonstrably false statements and are by all appearances deeply confused--they appear to think I'm Theroadislong. Эlcobbola talk 21:51, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
@Elcobbola: It is up to Wikipedia users to decide about their scope. And if they decide the subject is in their scope, the images become in Commons scope automatically. I cannot refer to copyright issues; it is OTRS users domain to verify it and I have no access to the ticket so I do not know who is granting the permission. I can only guess. Ankry (talk) 11:10, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

@Elcobbola: you're right, I did, my apologies. I am deeply confused--about Wikipedia, as I'm new to this. I think it's fair to say the Wikipedia process is unique and has a definitey learning curve, don't you? I thought you were the other editor because the quotes were from conversations I had with him/her on the article page--sorry about that--but that's why the scope is being discussed at all on this talk page. I have looked through so many animal sanctuary pages on Wikipedia and cannot understand how some of them were approved and ours wasn't. I've seen articles wherein editors explain they are writing just to let the public know the place exists, and even one article with not a single outside source other than their own website. My "demonstrably false statements" were a mistake I made on incorrect info I had, as I explained. To clarify my remarks about being small and starting out: We are small compared to some larger sanctuaries, but again: we have a very difficult to obtain accreditation from GFAS--which a non-notable or illegitimate sanctuary would definitely not be able to obtain. Please see the last point here, on PETA's website: https://www.peta.org/features/real-animal-sanctuary-zoo/ Or here on IFAW: https://www.ifaw.org/international/journal/how-to-tell-a-real-sanctuary-from-a-pseudo-sanctuary. The captions were written when I first started working on this, and I plan on changing them and the photo titles once I've cleared up this mistake. Would it be better to just have a photo of the sanctuary, and not any animals? I'm happy to do that, too. When people make mistakes, don't we get the chance to fix them? This is what I'm trying in good faith to do. @Ankry: Thank you for your patience. I'm happy to work on the article without the photos and make sure I get them right before resubmitting. I'll comment on my article talk page, too. Vegan4theAnimals (talk) 22:20, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

  •  Oppose per COM:FOP US. There is no freedom of panorama in the United States with regards to artwork and sculptures. While it is a house, it does not fit within the definition of a building under US copyright law: "The term building means structures that are habitable by humans and intended to be both permanent and stationary." Per Desert X's page on Mirage, "Note: Desert X 2017 is permanently closed. The artworks have been removed." Mirage is, therefore, not permanent, and photos of this work cannot be hosted on Commons until the work enters into the public domain. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 01:34, 18 April 2021 (UTC)


  •  Oppose concur with Nat's input. @Teilhardo: please read both COM:FOP US and w:Freedom of panorama#United States regarding the FOP situation in the U.S.. Copyright of the work in your image belongs to the artist, and you only own physical ownership of your photo containing the underlying copyrighted artwork. The only way is to contact the artist via COM:OTRS. But if he refuses, sorry we will have to wait until the work enters public domain. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 02:26, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
  • I disagree with @Nat: and @JWilz12345: . "Mirage" is clearly a house, and consequently a building habitable by humans. Whether it is considered art or was lived in by humans is not of consequence. It was a building that was visible from a public place (Palm Springs). See legal definition of building "A structure or edifice erected by the hand of man, composed of natural materials, as stone or wood, and intended for use or convenience" (definition). --Teilhardo (talk) 23:58, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
  • @Teilhardo: The U.S. Copyright Office's definition, which is set out in 37 C.F.R. § 202.11, is clear: "The term building means structures that are habitable by humans and intended to be both permanent and stationary, such as houses and office buildings, and other permanent and stationary structures designed for human occupancy, including but not limited to churches, museums, gazebos, and garden pavilions." For a work to be considered a "building" by the U.S. Copyright Office, it must be not only a structure that is "habitable by humans" but also "intended to be both permanent and stationary" (bolding and underlining added for emphasis) -- this fails to meet the criterion of permanence. As Desert X's page on Mirage states, "Note: Desert X 2017 is permanently closed. The artworks have been removed." and as such photos of this work cannot be hosted on Commons until it enters in the public domain. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 00:43, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Wrongly deleted by admin: File:Image 2021-04-12 at 12.52.28.jpg

 Not done: Procedural close. Nothing to be accomplished here.

Ownership or possession of a photo, proprietorship of the equipment used to take the photo, or being the subject of the photo does not equate holding the copyright. The copyright holder is the photographer (i.e. the person who took the photo), rather that the subject (the person who appears in the photo) or the person possessing the photo, unless transferred by operation of law (e.g. inheritance, etc.) or by contract (written and signed by the copyright holder, and explicitly transfers the copyright). Please note that in some jurisdictions, the law may not permit transfers or assignment of rights.

@Mithrandir the great: For the possibility of undeletion, the copyright holder must send permission and a specific release under an accepted free licence using OTRS. Please note that OTRS is not able to accept forwarded statements or proxy permissions for legal reasons. Once OTRS has determined to have receive sufficient permission and there is no other valid rationale for deletion, an OTRS agent will perform or request undeletion. Thank you for your understanding. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 14:03, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi

The image should not have been deleted. It is licensed under GPU General Public License 3.0 and openly available and freely licensed by the owener using this link https://www.ptc.com/-/media/Files/PDFs/About/2021-executive-bios/Kathleen-Mitford_PP.zip?la=en&hash=

If memory serves me - the photo was tagged {{GFDL}}

Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevep2007 (talk • contribs) 21:41, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

@Stevep2007: As you are not the author of the photo and as it has already been published, we need an evidence proving that the license has been properly granted by an authorized person. If you are the image copyright holder or the copyright holder legal representative, provide evidence of this (eg. a copyright transfer contract with the photographer). If the documents proving that Wikimedia user Stevep2007 is authorized to grant the license are not public, the COM:OTRS procedure is the right way to provide them. We need a clear evidence that the person who grants the license (user Stevep2007, unless you provide a link to the license) is authorized to do so and that the photographer is properly attributed (exactly as the license requires).

Re-starting undeletion request, as closed undeletion requests cannot be re-opened. Ìch heiss Nat., in the future, please give me more than nine minutes to respond to a new comment. The discussion referenced was an issue with books scanned in by the Public Library of India; neither of the editions mentioned in the above discussion were from that source. Unless you can point to “evidence” that there is malfeasance related to this scan uploader, or other evidence that this specific edition was not legitimately published in New York, there is nothing which supports a belief, other than your suspicion, that it was not published in New York. You have provided as much evidence that it was not published in London. In addition, Ankry, that discussion did not conclude whether the colophon problem was due to publisher error or scan-uploader error or malfeasance. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 13:20, 10 April 2021 (UTC).

@TE(æ)A,ea.: In the example that I pointed out, there was no doubt that the original colophon contained both: London & New York, so the publication was in both countries. This was easy to be confirmed in various library catalogues. The discussion pointed out that a location mentioned in a colophon does not automatically mean that the book was available there at the same time (or 30 days later). There was no evidence that any information for this particular book was fake. However, I am not sure, if lack of precise information of exact publishing dates (in the mentioned case the information was found) is enough to apply COM:PCP. Ankry (talk) 15:26, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
  • I don’t see why a colophon would not be sufficient evidence, unless there is an objection to a specific colophon, either because of the publisher or uploader. I couldn’t check the works mentioned in the discussion, however, but I will take your word for it. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 16:11, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
@Nat: I concur TE(æ)A,ea.; the accepted practise here is that requests are closed not earlier than 24h after last unresponded comment (except procedural closures of clearly incorrect requests). It is better to discuss issues here or explain to requesters what can they do and why it is needed, than have the discussion repeated in various locations. Ankry (talk) 15:26, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: Evidence is needed that the work was published in the United States within 30 days of first publication elsewhere. No concrete evidence was provided here.

File:Regina Doherty 2018.jpg was deleted because it's hosted on Flickr on a non-free license, and I can understand on the surface it looks like an open and shut case. However, the account is run by MerrionStreet.ie, which is a website operated by the Irish government. On Merrion Street's copyright page, it makes clear that content hosted on the site is supposed to be on a "PSI License", which the copyright section makes clear is intended to be the equivalent of a CC BY license.[66] (with a further subsection here) [67]. That is the same or equivalent license used here on Commons for "official" portraits of TDs such as File:Micheál Martin TD (cropped).jpg. What Merrion Street does is hosts the images on Flickr, and then rehosts them on the website itself. I included both sources to be on the safe side, although in hindsight this may actually cause confusion. The other aspect is I might not have used the best license tag for this; I used the attribution tag because that's what I see used in the "official" TD portraits but there seems to be a certain way of tagging PSI licenses that I'm not quite sure how to do.

But the point is while (co)-hosted on flickr, images by Merrion Street.ie are supposed to fall under a PSI License as far as I can tell. I also asked some other commons users about this before uploading images from Merrion Street and they were under the same impression, that the images are PSI licensed.

Tagging @A1Cafel: to loop them in on this discussion.

CeltBrowne (talk) 13:05, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

 Question @CeltBrowne: Do you know who the photographer is and why they cannot own copyright, eg. if they were hired under a commercial contract? Ankry (talk) 09:34, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
@Ankry: The source of the image is https://www.flickr.com/photos/merrionstreet-ie/45268626751/in and as far as I can tell, the metadata of this particular image has been stripped, so establishing the particular photographer would be difficult. However, other images from this flickr account do still have their meta data, such as File:Mary Harney, December 2010.jpg, and in the meta data of that image, phrases such as FREE PIC and NO REPRO FEE (No Reproduction Fee) are embedded into it, pointing us towards the idea that the intention of images created for this website are intended to be freely available to the public, and that the photographers are hired by the website for this purpose. CeltBrowne (talk) 16:53, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
Question: You provided many links above but not the essential one, which is a link to the source on merrionstreet.ie where the free version of the image is offered. Can you please provide it? I searched briefly and couldn't find the image there. I understand that you linked to it in the description page, currently deleted, but can you find it again and link to it here? -- Asclepias (talk) 20:15, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
  • The link to Flickr was the only link provided. And -NC- license there constitutes a doubt whether Merrion Street has the right too make it PSI Licensed. If the license is not explicitly declared, we need a clear evidence that it should, ruling out all doubts. You may need to ask the Flickr account operator why there is -NC- license there. If their answer is satisfactory, the image may be undeleted. Ankry (talk) 21:23, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for the precision. That's different from what I had understood from the uploader's request where they said that the images were hosted in both places and that they "included both sources" in the Commons page. So, in fact they copied an image from a non-free source and used a free license from a website that doesn't offer the image? Then, IMO, that would be "oppose". I can accept that Merrion Street could offer the image with the OPSI license. It's just that they did not. -- Asclepias (talk) 22:41, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

  • @Stevep2007: In the previous request, you did not clearly note that the GPLv3.0 licence was mentioned in the EXIF. However, licence is being offered by the subject's company with no indication of who is the photographer, what relation does the photographer have with the company and/or the subject, and a clue of how the copyright was transferred. OTRS permission is, therefore, necessary. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 15:56, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
  • The initial photo version, uploaded on 2020-11-16 by Jreed10 does not contain any licensing information; only Artist : PARAMETRIC TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION. The later versions have EXIF mostly stripped and CC license info added. However, its lack in the initial version constitutes a doubt whether CC-licensing was indeed the author's intention. Ankry (talk) 18:07, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
  • @Anky: I understand your position if the image source was an unreliable one such as a Medium post. This image came from a large 6000 employee company website that because they are in the software business understands copyrights. The image was included in a presskit, which implies that the intent is to allow others to reuse the image. Given this, I do not understand your position. It is also not uncommon to find images without the name of the artist, for instance this NYTIMES image is almost completely stripped. I would track down the author if I knew how them? Would you please restore the image? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevep2007 (talk • contribs) 19:59, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
  • @Stevep2007: As you can see here, we have substantial doubts. If you believe that PTC is the copyright holder, then have them contact us via OTRS to confirm this. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 20:19, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - Per COM:EVID, "In all cases the uploader must provide appropriate evidence to demonstrate [...] that the copyright owner has released it under a suitable licence." (underlining added) This has not been done. 1) The metadata have been edited (even the camera EXIF has been removed) and 2) this is clearly the work of a professional photographer (uploader states the company is "in the software business"--indeed, not the photography business); no evidence is on offer that copyrights, or rights to relicense, were transferred from the photographer to PTC. Per Nat above, if PTC owns the copyright as purported, they are welcome to provide a copy of conveying document using the COM:OTRS process. Эlcobbola talk 20:35, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello,

I originally requested this image from Water for Good. Subsequently, I asked them to fill out the required forms and provide them to Wikipedia, which it sounds like they have done. Hopefully that is sufficient? I appreciate all of the mods' hard work on this, and apologies for doing things a little out of order. Just starting out on making Wiki articles after dabbling a while back, so I appreciate your patience.

I do think however that this image belongs to the public domain: "The Government Data Practices Act (Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 13) presumes that all government data are public unless a state or federal law says the data are not public. Government data means all recorded information a government entity has, including paper, email, flash drives, CDs, DVDs, photographs, etc." (https://www.mda.state.mn.us/home/data-access-procedures-public-data). Also, "'Government data' means all data collected, created, received, maintained or disseminated by any government entity regardless of its physical form, storage media or conditions of use."

No. We deleted an entire template because this is an incorrect interpretation; see Commons:Deletion requests/Template:PD-MNGov (2nd nomination). As an example that serves as a test: City of Minneapolis website says "Copyright © 2021" and has terms of use that say "All text and images City of Minneapolis unless otherwise noted. All rights reserved. Any reuse or republishing of the text or images on this website without prior written consent of the copyright holder is prohibited." The Minnesota Judical Branch, as another test, has terms of use that say "This website is the property of the Minnesota Judicial Branch and is protected by copyright and other restrictions. Any unauthorized reproduction, commercial publication, or exploitation of any text, images or content of this website is strictly prohibited." These terms and statements would not be present if your reading were correct--and, indeed, it is not ("Public" in your citation refers to accessibility, and is not a statement about underlying intellectual property; see gratis versus libre).

Hello. I've been notified that the photo I upload on wikimedia has been deleted after marked for a possible copyright violation. The original photo was taken by me. I also edited the background, and I upload it on wikimedia commons. I am aware that the photo exists on that page (https://favcelebswiki.com/christos-arfanis/) but I'm assuming that this page just uses my photo as I didn't grand them the rights. I would like to request the undeletion of the above media. If There is a certain proof that the photo belongs to favcelebswiki.com, then thats alright, i could look for and message an admin by them. But the photo did not violate any rights under my awarness as the photo was belonged in my personal archive way back before i publish it online. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChristosArfanis (talk • contribs) 10:25, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Subject has no Wikipedia articles listed at Wikidata (Christos Arfanis (Q83374958)) and English Wikipedia rejected a draft about this subject. I don't quite understand why Wikimedia needs this photo. Thuresson (talk) 11:17, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Then fair enough, photo should remain deleted if there is no need for it to be on wikimedia. I am more concerned about the reason of deletion as it marked for a possible copyright violation. Otherwise if it was labeled under a different reasoning I wouldn't care or mind at all. I respect every contrubitor and editor, and if they would have deleted it for some other reason, i wouldn't even bother to open that topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChristosArfanis (talk • contribs)

Hi, I originally included this picture from the Starglobal Flickr account. StarGlobal International have full rights to this art and have expressed a wish to publish under a public licence. I would be very grateful if you could advise what you may require so that we can upload this notable and stolen painting. Kindest regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apersonofinterest20 (talk • contribs) 07:47, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

  •  Oppose The image on the flickr page is tagged with PDM, however, no evidence that Jack Armstrong, the artist, transferred the copyright to StarGlobal International. After some quick research, most of Armstrong's pre-1994 work no longer exists, and so the work in question was created after 1994. Per U.S. copyright law, the work is, therefore, still protected by copyright as the author of the work is still living -- copyright will only expire 70 years after the death of the author. If StarGlobal International is the copyright holder, then proof of transfer (written and signed conveyance by the author of the work) must be provided via OTRS. If they are not, then we need permission and a specific release under an accepted free licence from Jack Armstrong via OTRS. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 10:12, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi,

My username is Sumih, and I uploaded a series of images related to Roy Want to Wikimedia Commons:

However, soon after uploading, I received a series of alerts for each image, which state "This media file is missing evidence of permission. It may have an author and a source, but there is no proof that the author agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide evidence of permission by either providing a link to a site with an explicit release under a free license or by sending a declaration of consent to confirm copyright ownership by email. This also applies if you are the author yourself."

These images have now been deleted due to a lack of permission, but I emailed over valid permission on Feb 28th, which I've included below for reference.

"You can find all images and licenses on this page: https://roywant.com/ubicomp/index.htm, which is also accessible via the menu entry "OPEN LICENSE IMAGES" on the homepage of this website which is run by Roy Want."

After emailing permissions-commons@wikimedia.org again on Friday, I've now been asked to request undeletion via this form.

Many thanks, Ryan — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sumih (talk • contribs) 09:19, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Ownership or possession of a photo, proprietorship of the equipment used to take the photo, or being the subject of the photo does not equate holding the copyright. The copyright holder is the photographer (i.e. the person who took the photo), rather that the subject (the person who appears in the photo) or the person possessing the photo, unless transferred by operation of law (e.g. inheritance, etc.) or by contract (written and signed by the copyright holder, and explicitly transfers the copyright). Please note that in some jurisdictions, the law may not permit transfers or assignment of rights.

For the possibility of undeletion, the copyright holder (i.e. the photographer, unless the copyright was transferred by operation of law or by written and signed conveyance) must send permission and a specific release under an accepted free licence to OTRS at permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. Please note that OTRS is not able to accept forwarded statements or proxy permissions for legal reasons.

Taivo's position seems to be based on copyright, while Achim55 only voiced their support for retention with no comments or rationale. The document itself, if authentic, is in the public domain in Germany and Taivo's position would have been sufficient for retention if the rationale for deletion was a concern for the copyright status. However, the file was deleted as being out of project scope (and not on a question of its copyright status). The COM:SCOPE question has yet to be answered. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 02:25, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
  •  Support undeletion: IMO this document is in scope. Not because someone grants someone else the right to visit the manor, that might be off scope. But it is an very impressive and oppressive document of the ending of WWII, the Russian forces are coming nearer, nobody knows what will happen and if he or she will survive the next days or weeks. Not knowing that he will be dead a few days later the author asked a notary he is friends with for an addition to his last will. Out of scope? --Achim (talk) 18:41, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
For the requested "certification and authentication" - as a grandchild of this dead man, I garnish with the family seal https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d1/Freiherrensiegel_von_Plessen_%28Haus_Dolgen%29.png ...at the Congress of Vienna exactly this seal meant something else - but it's good enough for you, Nat ? - Best regards to Achim : --Gordito1869 (talk) 20:32, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
I don't doubt the authenticity of the letter. It looks like a pretended rationale as the requester ThT is known to be in feud with the uploader. --Achim (talk) 20:35, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: Procedural close. Nothing to be accomplished here. Work appears one month elsewhere (23 November 2020) prior to being uploaded here (17 December 2020) @Laurin Brandt: Works previously published elsewhere require that the copyright holder (i.e. the photographer, unless the copyright was transferred by operation of law or by written and signed conveyance) send permission and a specific release under an accepted free licence using OTRS. Once OTRS has determined to have receive sufficient permission and there is no other valid rationale for deletion, an OTRS agent will perform or request undeletion.

Hi, these files are logos from two Peruvian political parties. When they suscribe them to the elections' authority, it becomes public domain. You can find these logos in [73], which is the official site of the Government authority for elections (JNE). They don't show any evidence of a Copyright restriction. In fact, when it comes to political parties' logos, they encourage you to use them as much as you can. In articles like https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elecciones_generales_de_Perú_de_2021, if you don't have only certain political parties' logos, it can be understood as a violation of neutrality (it's not a plain field for every contender). If the selected Copyright license was the wrong one for Government digital assets, I would prefer that you tell me which type of Copyright license applies to them, instead of deleting the files from the start. Thanks. Matias1799 (talk) 15:47, 28 April 2021 (UTC)


 Not done: Procedural close. Nothing to be accomplished here. Peruvian copyright law does not support claims made in request. Furthermore, there is a clear copyright notice "© JNE. Todos los Derechos Reservados 2021" at [74]. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 23:02, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
