Vases in Boston MFA

Hi Ficaia. As I promised here, when I visited the Boston Museum of Fine Arts last month I tried to get some photos to replace two of your images of Greek vases that were deleted for copyvio back in September. I was partially successful. Here is a new photo of the red-figure cup by Onesimos with the discus thrower in the tondo (File:Red-figure kylix palestra scene diskobolos (Boston MFA 01.8020).jpg) and here's a detail (File:Red-figure kylix palestra scene diskobolos (Boston MFA 01.8020) detail.jpg). I couldn't find the pelike with the jumping dancers (this one), but I see from the museum web site that it is in fact on display, so I'll look again when I go back later this month. Cheers, Choliamb (talk) 12:48, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for doing that. The jumping dancers is the one I really want, to illustrate w:Bibasis (dance), but it's good to have a photo of the discus thrower regardless. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 14:01, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi again. I was back at the MFA yesterday and was able to photograph the pelike with the jumping dancers. The lighting wasn't ideal: the lights on the ceiling and the windows created reflections on both the glass case and the surface of the vase itself, so I couldn't get a shot of the whole vessel at eye level without the glare washing out one of the figures. But by moving the camera up and shooting downward, I did manage to get some decent images, not great but acceptable, and I've uploaded several of them, three of the entire vase and two others of the main panel:

• File:Red-figure pelike jumping dancers (Boston MFA 1973.88) 01.jpg
• File:Red-figure pelike jumping dancers (Boston MFA 1973.88) 02.jpg
• File:Red-figure pelike jumping dancers (Boston MFA 1973.88) 03.jpg
• File:Red-figure pelike jumping dancers (Boston MFA 1973.88) 04.jpg
• File:Red-figure pelike jumping dancers (Boston MFA 1973.88) 05.jpg

Some of them still have some glare, while others have the shadow of my arm blocking the light; it's not clear to me which defect is more annoying, so you'll have to decide for yourself which you prefer. But they're better than nothing, and I think you can probably find one good enough to serve as an illustration for the bibasis article.

(I also took one oblique photo of the other side of the vase, which is unfortunately partly blocked by the back of the display case, but which is worth noting because on that side the jumping boys are shown from the back rather than the front, with buttocks front and center: see File:Red-figure pelike jumping dancers (Boston MFA 1973.88) 06.jpg.)

Do explain 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 08:50, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

@Ficaia Please, you can check why I am not able to create a new page or new gallery using the (Gallery:any title |according to my wish). I mean, even when I switch to desktop mode on my mobile, I am still unable to create any specific page or gallery. I dont know why, but yes, I am so far able to create only category pages using the trick of (first put a red category on a page, then click on the category page, then click publish new, etc.). Haider Kushan ^talk 15:23, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

TBH, I use the same trick you do 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 19:32, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Gloucester Household Bill-Line, Cardiff Castle.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{self|cc-zero}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too.

Perrin

The reason I uploaded the picture of Perrin to enwiki instead of to Commons, back in 2019, was that the Rutgers page doesn't give any provenance for the photo, so we don't know when it was published. Yes, it had to have been taken pre-1921, but when was it published? Who was the photographer?

What is your basis for stating that its copyright has expired? DS (talk) 17:26, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

If you think there is doubt as to when this was published, then please undo my move the image back to Wikipedia. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 21:27, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Is the answer to my question "I thought that copyright duration depended on when the image was created, not when it was published" ? DS (talk) 13:23, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
