Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at Wikimedia Commons.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Mpv3 (cropped).jpg

This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Mpv3 (cropped).jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work. While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Hmm? Well thanks for cleaning up after the DR BevinKacon. You know, the DR script really should automatically tag cropped versions and notify their authors. GMG^talk 20:44, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

File:Picture of Flo Eshalomi.jpg

Hi it is NOT a copyright violation.

I took the photo myself on my camera

it exists online because I was the election agent and used it on all the literature for her election for the last 7 weeks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mtbab (talk • contribs) 11:10, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Hey Mtbab. Since this isn't the original image with the original meta data, it's probably not possible to verify the copyright status of the image without further information. You should send permission for the image according to directions at COM:CONSENT. Information sent to the email response team is private, and so you can explain your ownership of the image and a volunteer can simply indicate on the image here that the details have been verified.

Help Desk query

 Done Thanks DBX. GMG^talk 16:43, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Nomination?

Would you like a nomination? ~riley (talk) 00:34, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

@~riley: I won't turn one down. GMG^talk 00:40, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Done. If there is any advice I can give you, based on what you have commented so far, I'd say.. don't sell undersell the value you would have with the mop. ~riley (talk) 01:00, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

@~riley: Thank you for the stunning endorsement. Of course I will continue across projects to do the best I can regardless of what access I have. GMG^talk 01:30, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

File:Photographer Keri Deziel.jpg

I left a message regarding the request for deletion of the last photo I uploaded. Not sure if I did that correctly since I never had to do it before. If not I also pasted my response below.

The photo was taken with a tri-stand. While my husband was there to assist it was ultimately my camera and my equipment that took the photo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keri Deziel (talk • contribs) 21:44, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Hey Keri Deziel. Unfortunately, this is one of the ways where US copyright law can be pretty counter intuitive. The way it works out, the copyright for a photo starts with whomever took the photo, even if they did it using someone else's equipment, and even if they did it at the direction of someone else, and this generally applies even in states that have common property for married couples. In order for you to be the copyright holder, you would have needed to have a legal contract with your husband transferring the intellectual rights to the work.

Probably the easiest way to resolve the issue is have your husband send a message from a verifiable email address, according to the directions at COM:CONSENT, saying that he releases the photo under this particular free license. A member of our volunteer email response team can verify the permission, and annotate that it has been verified on the file, without needing to divulge any private details involved. GMG^talk 22:11, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

User:GreenMeansGo thank you for explaining it a bit more for me, been a photographer for over 10 years and kind of wish all places (physical and digital) would take copyrights as serious as Wikimedia does. Anyways, I will have my husband send an email and go from there.

Please delete my image from Wikipedia. It's stolen from flickr

Hello admin

I am Glenn, the real photographer of the stolen picture. Thanks Glenn G. Parrish (talk) 13:42, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Hey Glenn. You don't seem to have edited Wikipedia in any language under this account. So it's not totally clear to what image you are referring. We can surely look into the matter more, but I'm afraid you will need to provide more information. GMG^talk 13:45, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

An offering for our new administrator from your comrades...

GreenMeansGo, congratulations! You now have administrator rights on Commons. Please take a moment to read the Commons:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Commons:Administrators' noticeboard an it subpages), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care. Have a look at the list of Gadgets (on the bottom there are the ones specifically for admins – however, for example the UserMessages are very helpful too).

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-commons-lr ^webchat on irc.freenode.net. There is also a channel for Commons admins, which may be useful for more sensitive topics, or coordination among administrators: #wikimedia-commons-admin ^webchat.

You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading. You can find the admin backlog overview at COM:AB.

Please also check or add your entry to the List of administrators and the related lists by language and date it references.
