File:Early 20th Century Inuit parka (UBC).jpgEdit

What the museum says is one thing, the other ist, naturally summer skins are not thick as in winter. And the picture shows, these are very flat skins.--Kürschner (talk)

The best skin quality is in autumn and the beginning winter. Former we used the skins of young caribous, called pyshiks or pijiki (4-6 month or till one year old (called nebljujs)). This suit looks like young pijiki with skin from adult animal at the hood. Furs from elder raindeers are not for hard wear (if your English is better than mine, you should write it in the article. The mention of source I will put to it). --Kürschner (talk) 06:30, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

(you could answer here) That should be okay. I only know the skins of adult winter raindeers. The summer skin is short with compact underwool. My very best book for this describes the hair-length of each furred animal exactly - but not from caribous. I could look in much of my other literature, but I think, this should be ok (but nevertheless, it looks for me more like skins from young caribou calves... ;-) - Next holiday in Vanvouver.) --Kürschner (talk) 07:27, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Dear me: winter hair: on the sides 5 cm, back 9 cm, cross 10 cm., neck till 30 cm. The book is good, but the reader... --Kürschner (talk) 07:50, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

• I think the additional commentary by you is sufficient for the parka's description. Most people don't care too much about the exact thickness or thinness of the caribou skin, so don't worry. They just want to know what material the parka is made of. And if it is made of 2 layers--as the UBC museum description says--then this is an added bonus. There are many many displays in the museum and I almost missed the parka which is placed in a large glass panel case. But I am glad I took the picture of the parka...and hope someone can use it for a good cause. Best regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 08:13, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

I used it here: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelzarten#Rentier_.28Nordamerika_.3D_.E2.80.9EKaribu.E2.80.9C.29_oder_Pijiki --Kürschner (talk) 08:46, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Re: Flickr review requestsEdit

Hello. To be fair I was not aware that the flickr upload tool I used was enough. My confusion actually stemmed from the fact that in the upload information, I was listed as the reviewer. As I'm not an admin or anyone of authority here, I wanted to make extra sure. Perhaps I should have asked at the help desk. I don't see the need of that discussion though, as a message would have done fine. So "i got the message" like you said. ;) As the the admin noted, I actually did stop when I saw his edit summary as then I realised I had been to cautious over any changes that the original author could have made on their account. Well, thanks for letting me know though. Have a nice evening too.Raintheone (talk) 20:54, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Change the licenseEdit

Hello Leoboudv. What happened to that user from Flickr, the images were yesterday under license (cc-by-2.0). and now, change the license. --MyCanon (talk) 09:41, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

This file, which was originally posted to Indafotó, was reviewed on 6 December 2011 by the administrator or reviewer Lymantria, who confirmed that it was available there under the stated license on that date.

Hello, could you please delete the file 90px rather than the file 90px? The later one is more focused and thus more clear. Please tell me if I need to do further application. Thanks! --Wildcursive (talk) 05:20, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the explanation! I now understand and will try to find other pictures.--Wildcursive (talk) 06:30, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

ImagesEdit

Hi Leoboudv. Thanks. Good images! Best Regards, --JMCC1 (talk) 00:59, 25 February 2013 (UTC) Ok. Thank you for the message.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/cfccreates/8577114531/in/photostream, http://www.flickr.com/photos/leweb3/8261213300/in/photostream, and http://www.flickr.com/photos/financialtimes/8577541044/in/photostreamEdit

Hello Leoboudv, we once resolved a copyright ownership issue who owns the copyright of a CFC celebrity events photo posted on their flickr account (the organization or photography group), but also I'm concerned that many other celebrity parties/events (held by many organizations/corporations like CFC) flickr images taken by hired photography group(s) are vulnerable to potential deletion requests like the DR. Recently I found three similar cases of the issue, http://www.flickr.com/photos/cfccreates/8577114531/in/photostream, http://www.flickr.com/photos/leweb3/8261213300/in/photostream, and http://www.flickr.com/photos/financialtimes/8577541044/in/photostream. first and second cases are mostly same with File:Robert_Lantos.jpg case whose image descriptions mention the photographer(s) of the images (Rebecca Sapp, @francois). in last case, its image description does not mention the photographer(s), but EXIF data says Dianna Bonner/www.worldvisionphotos.co.uk. Can this three images also be counted as the organizations paid photography firm(s) for its services and own the image rights and/or may we need to ask the flickr accounts about copyright ownership of the images indivisually? --Puramyun31 (talk) 17:40, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

OTRS waiting list and 1-2 other issuesEdit

Hi. I wonder why you not answer my long post, but now I've realized, that it seemed it was not saved...!!?!?!

In short: at first I thought your post were unfair critic - but the second reading showed me it wasn't so I didn't think so :). But I'm not an Egyptologist, so I'm not the right person depending your other points with the Flickr images. But I'm planning an international Network of Wikimedia Archaeologists - and hopefully in future we can work over all Wikis depending these Questions. Marcus Cyron (talk) 22:04, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

File:Cameroons that Saker laboured.jpgEdit

Could you give an opinion about this file? I see that you added a note about dubious copyright status.

According to Flickr, the image comes from the same book from 1908 by Emily Saker which we were discussing in a deletion request somewhere. As the book was published in 1908, it is in the public domain in the United States.

For the source country (the United Kingdom), don't you think that it is likely that the image either was made by Emily Saker herself, or, if not by her, that the image is anonymous? If I remember correctly, I think that we concluded in one of the other deletion requests that it is unlikely that Emily Saker still was alive in 1943, but I can't remember where that discussion was. Do you remember where that other deletion discussion was held? I suspect that either {{PD-old-70}} or {{PD-UK-unknown}} is true, but it would be nice to hear your opinion too. --Stefan4 (talk) 22:47, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Freedom_of_Panorama#ArmeniaEdit

Hello Leoboudv, thanks for your good news, but I wonder if Armenian FoP law forfeited Armenian copyright holders' right to control the usage of their FoP-covered works (Architectures, Sculptures... etc). What do you think? --Puramyun31 (talk) 07:00, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. but how about this? User:Canoe1967 said "A copyright cannot and should not be taken by any government. It is an inalienable human right for creators worldwide." this is why I asked this question. --Puramyun31 (talk) 07:29, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

OK, Thanks for your answer. regards. --Puramyun31 (talk) 07:51, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

How to best tag derivatives of flickr uploads?Edit

Hi, I see you've had to manually review and approve a couple of derivative flickr images I've uploaded. For my last one I tried to copy what you did here, only to have FlickreviewR complaining no source. So, how should I tag such images to have FlickreviewR approve them without having to bother you or others? Guess I should have known without asking, as I used to be a admin around here, but it seems I've forgotten more than I ever learned :) Finn Rindahl (talk) 11:02, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Flickrreviewer will not pass cropped or edited images. But the "no source" reaction can be avoided by adding "Original source: <Flickr link>". That's the way I usually do these things, although Leoboudv's way is nice as well. Kind regards, Lymantria (talk) 06:52, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Reviewer toolEdit

Why you don't use Rilke's image reviewing tool? It helps notifying users if review fails, and automatically gives you three links for [Change license]For when licesen on Commons and original source does not match [License+]When Commons file and original file has no problem, and there is no issues(like FlickrWashing), so you think it is OK to mark reviewed and [License-]When there is no source, copyright violation, unacceptable licenses. You can use this tool by putting following lines on your javascript page:

importScript('User:Rillke/LicenseReview.js'); //

And, you should mark No source indicated when flickr link is unavailable. Thanks for your reviewing and have a nice day. --레비Revi 09:52, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

• Next time, I'll consider marking 'no source' when a flickr link is unavailable. I personally have the npd and nsd tag option--and no source--but did not use it on a certain picture you reviewed. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 10:21, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

File:Philips Arena.JPGEdit

Hi, I saw your copyvio nomination in which you suspect copyvio because of the circumstances. There is a trick to become more sure in most of these cases:

• Click to the image to get the URL of the file (by clicking on the image): https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/40/Philips_Arena.JPG
• Go to http://images.google.com
• Enter the URL of the file in the search field and press the search button
• Above the results, you will find a link saying something like 'search on image'. Click that link
• You will get all identical and similar files Google can find
• For this specific files I found with this method e.g. http://www.eireizen.nl/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Philips_Arena1.jpg, of which the deleted file is a cropped version.

I hope this trick will help you to do your good work even better. Jcb (talk) 11:13, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

•  Comment: I will try this method next time. Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 19:08, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Flicker to CommonsEdit

Hello: Yes, I can find all the links of the photos on Flicker and show as previous. But do not know how to ask for a new order to "flickrreview". Can you help me do it? Thank you very much. Best Regards.Adolfobrigido (talk) 10:19, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello: I have already put the "links" of all the images and the type of permission. What should I do now?. Please help me because I have little experience. Thank you very much. Best Regards.Adolfobrigido (talk) 13:17, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I think I've already done the work. I do not know if I've done well, I did what I could. Thank you very much again. When you can, please tell me how I've done the work. Best regards.Adolfobrigido (talk) 22:15, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello again: I think in your last post you said that I still had some work to do. Just then clicked on the link you gave me and I saw the images that you meant, but now can not find them. Could you send it again? Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you very much for everything.Adolfobrigido (talk) 16:55, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Uf, what weight relieves me. Next time I'll go with more care and raising fewer images. Thank you very much. If not for me you would have deleted all and foulbrood worse, had not learned anything. Thank you. Best regards.Adolfobrigido (talk) 20:36, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Derivative worksEdit

No opposition to your deletion requests of my photos, but I really don't get what derivative works' policies applied here mean. Commons:Derivative works really doesn't help. For example, if I take a photo of Times Square and it contains several logos of trademarks, or if I take a photo of a public park/playground with a tiny model of Mickey Mouse in it, am I allowed to upload them to Commons and license them with a free license?

This is to avoid copyright violations in my future uploads (as I have a pile of photos in my computer and want to contribute them here, not counting those transferred from Flickr). Quenhitran (talk) 06:47, 19 July 2014 (UTC) Please reply on my talk page

Also, many of my Flickr uploads got stuck here at Category:Flickr images needing human review, I've already used Flickr2Commons for those works and all the links/sources were filled in automatically, why couldn't the bot find them? Quenhitran (talk) 06:49, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

• If its a small image of a copyrighted object or the copyrighted image is not the primary object in the photo, it should be OK. But in this DR most of the images focus on the copyrighted object which means that Commons cannot keep it. Like this This is a modern banner and the studio which created it would sue Commons if it found out about this copyright violation. Finally, in this image the picture focuses on the copyrighted poster and the poster clearly dominates most people's view of the picture and is the main item in the photo so Commons cannot keep it either. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 08:49, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

• PS: Bots are machines. They just upload freely licensed images and cannot tell if an image has copyright problems with derivative images or lack of FOP for post-1978 sculptures in the USA unlike human beings. Pictures of 1978 sculptures installed in the USA are deleted on Commons unlike Canada, the UK, Mexico, China or India which have full FOP. See COM:FOP Goodbye, --Leoboudv (talk) 08:57, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Well thank you for your answers, but you didn't seem to get the gist of my second question. I understand that the bot cannot determine whether or not the images violate the regulations on derivative works or the freedom of panorama, but it should be able to detect the original licenses of images on Flickr (CC-BY or CC-BY-SA). Many of my Flickr uploads are originally available under CC-BY or CC-BY-SA 2.0, but the bot still stated that it cannot determine. Probably there is some problems with the server where the bot's running, it's becoming unreliable these days. As a reviewer, please take your time reviewing images left in Category:Flickr images needing human review. Thanks, Quenhitran (talk) 10:59, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

• If you don't crop the images, the bot should pass the images but sometimes the bot puts it into flickr human review for reasons unknown. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 08:09, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

File:Eric Dane at 7th Annual Chrysalis Butterfly Ball 2008.jpgEdit

Please be more careful when reviewing files from Flickr. The file's metadata and even the description on Flickr clearly state that the file was taken by Alexandra Wyman and grabbed from WireImage, meaning that the license selected by "Ash90291" is of course completely invalid.

QuestionEdit

My dear Leoboudv, what would be you saying as a seasoned license reviewer if I were to upload US Treasury Secretary Jack Lew in Kyiv, Meeting with Minister of Finance Natalie Jaresko, Jan. 28, 2015 with two licenses: CC-BY-ND-2.0 since it lists it plus PD-USGov since it is a US State Dep. work? Best, --Nabak (talk) 03:58, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

• Give the {{PD-USGov}} tag and say that the source is the US EmbassyKyivUkraine. I suppose it should be OK. I am not an Admin, just a license reviewer, but this normally is OK. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 05:27, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Question by FauvirtEdit

Hi! Are you sure that you "confirmed that it was available on Picasa Web Albums under the above license on that date" by these pictures? Because the album have the name: "Kézfogásaim", what means "My handshakes"... I am in correspondence with Tibor Végh, so I am sure that he is not the author of these images... Can you examine the decision reviewed by these pictures, please?... Thank you, Fauvirt (talk) 11:57, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

• Yes,. I am sure. The picasa account owner is Tibor Végh and the license is 'cc by 3.0 generic.' It still is and unless Tibor stole the images from another person's account, it seems that likely to assumne that the images are Tibor's own work. --Leoboudv (talk) 01:06, 29 June 2016 (UTC) --Leoboudv (talk) 01:04, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
• The picasa review bot passed this image and it is a robot, not a human being so the license is confirmed as 'cc by 3.0 generic'. PS: Tibor Vegh has 278 images on Wikimedia Commons. So, he seems to be a legitimate photographer. --Leoboudv (talk) 01:12, 29 June 2016 (UTC) --Leoboudv (talk) 01:08, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

File:Szigeti.pngEdit

the picture is of 1950, who is the photographer, what is the PD ? --Goesseln (talk) 13:46, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment: The license was {{cc-by-2.0}} at upload in 2014 which means it is free for commercial use provided the source is credited. The photographer is not named but the source is clearly trustworthy. The license was later changed to include Non-Commercial and no-Derivative use restrictions....and today is not free but it was passed in 2014 and is considered passed for life on Wikicommons. I don't know who the photographer was. I mark images based on the license at upload and if the source is trustworthy. It is quite possible that the photographer worked for the Texas Library or donated the rights to the library since it was taken in 'Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas.'

They're all already OTRS confirmed (see {{RogerPuta}}), so I'm hoping to have that template replace the 'license review needed' template for the several thousand photos in the collection. Cheers, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:54, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment: That would be a relief! Zhuyifei1999 runs the flickrreview bot and you could post a message on his talkpage asking if this could be done. Everytime someone uploads the Roger Puta images from flickr, they end up in the human review needed category since the flickr license is PD Mark (PDM) but the OTRS permission is valid as Admin James Woodward informed me here. So, the images are essentially public domain in this case as the OTRS message states. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 09:33, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, I usually manage to replace the PDM with the proper template within a few minutes when I upload one, but that's not always the case. There was just a mass transfer of ~3,000 images from the collection; the uploader will be putting the proper template on when they recover from the flu. Thanks as always for all your license review work; it's much appreciated. Cheers, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 15:38, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

• No problem. --Leoboudv (talk) 05:40, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

(talk page stalker): I noticed all these images and was hoping someone would place a positive review tag on then seeing as there is an OTRS ticket on them all. It would be quite a marathon task to individually review them. Cheers Ww2censor (talk) 23:06, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment: 2,800 images is too much. I'll ask Zhuyifei1999 if he can get the flickr bot to pass images from this source. --Leoboudv (talk) 09:46, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Re: Enterprise IncidentEdit

I wish I could say "yes". What we have here for Star Trek came from eBay finds-photos sent to various newspapers by those connected with the program. I'm sure publicity photos for this episode were sent to newspapers and magazines, but I haven't seen anything like this that we could use turn up as yet. Not to say it won't happen-that depends on what Star Trek photos are being sold on eBay.

Searching eBay for them on a regular basis can help. When I do, I look at both current auctions and completed, because you can view the original, now closed auction where things like backs of photos with the information we need is. ;) I use Internet Archive for keeping links to the photos, along with front & back upload. The only thing to remember is that the dating for the photos has to be between 1966 and 1969-the series original run on NBC. After it got into syndication, Paramount became very diligent about using copyright notices for the photos.

The only other way I can think of for a PD photo from the episode would be to find an advertisement for Star Trek printed before 1978 with no notice that used an episode photo. With the syndication of the show, local television stations who purchased these packages may have used photos to promote themselves airing the series in newspapers or local television guides.

Regarding the way non-free photos are handled in television articles at en:WP, I wish there would be a "standard" which would allow a non-free image if no PD one is available for articles written about individual episodes from a television series. Since at least one person (likely more) took the time to write and source an article about a given episode of a program, it should be permitted for the sake of identification. The photo aids those reading the article by allowing them to see a scene, thus "connecting" them with what the article is written about. Can imagine many people saying "Oh, yeah-now I remember this!" which may not always be possible with just text alone. Just my thought--if there's enough well-sourced information for an article about it, that should mean a photo-one non-free if necessary-should be allowed. We hope (talk) 13:43, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

Reviewed photographs from Flickr with dead linksEdit

Please avoid marking photographs with perfectly valid Flickr sources as having no source. These are correctly, and officially, reviewed and are not appropriate for deletion just because the source page has changed or been taken down. If there are reasons to delete such files, a DR is required. --Fæ (talk) 12:43, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

• I won't mark the third photograph in this category but can't decide the situation anyway since I am not an Admin. Its unfortunate the images were reviewed after the sources were deleted. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 18:08, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Tell Rifaat imagesEdit

, , and were all licensed under Creative Commons. What do you mean there is no "show more" button? There clearly is one for all 3 videos. This may be a problem on your end. I think it's best for a team to check the copyright status of files instead of a single person checking hundreds of images. This way, there would be more transparency.

Also, this KurdWatch video was clearly licensed under Creative Commons. Other videos by the same channel may not be, but this one clearly is. Editor abcdef (talk) 08:48, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

•  Comment: There is no CC BY license mentioned for this video clip here since there is no 'Show More' Option. 'Sort By' is not Show more and does not show a youtube license. Even this Halab clip clearly shows a license. Hopefully an Admin can locate the license as he/she will decide this Deletion Request. Goodnight, --Leoboudv (talk) 09:57, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry but this seem to be a problem on your end. There is clearly a "show more" button below the bread video, and below it is the Creative Commons license. You may have been using the non-classic version of Youtube, or the mobile version, or whatever, but something is not right. If you don't trust me, you can ask a third-party to verify this further.

Template use within LicenseReview templateEdit

Let me first thank you very much for reviewing lots of the licenses for the waarneming.nl and observation.org -images uploaded by BartBotje. However, I noticed there was a little problem in the resulting html when the Waarneming.nl template is used as the site-parameter to the LicenseReview template instead of an url .. For example : [7]

{{LicenseReview|site={{Waarneming.nl|14773155}}|user=Leoboudv|date=2017-08-29}}

I changed the rest to versions simply stating the url to the image. Maybe this is a template issue ?. Can you please prevent this in the future ?. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work ! Bj.schoenmakers (talk) 19:32, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

• I think it is a template issue. Whenever, I mark the images, I get the extra 2 brackets at the end...and I don't know why. I have to work soon. Best, Bj.schoenmakers --Leoboudv (talk) 19:59, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Yeah giving a good review by script does not remove that category. You have to do it manually after your review.

TistoryEdit

Hi. I've been trying to help out with the license review backlog but I'm not sure how to approach all the images on Tistory because it's all in Korean and even with translations, I've got no idea how to navigate the website. All I know is there's usually a little icon in the corner that says the license the images have been released under, but are there any other pages I should check before passing it? Anarchyte (work | talk) 09:24, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

• I don't mark Tistory images since I cannot read Chinese or Korean. You should ask reviewer Explicit who marks these images Anarchyte. See this edits by him/her. The only other person I trust is uploader Puramyun31 who knows copyright. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 09:44, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
  • Tistory is definitely a tricky one because of the language barrier most reviewers face in reviewing the blogs. A starter kit I can offer is User:-revi/Tistory and Category:Tistory.com related deletion requests. Generally, there are three pages to check for any restrictions: the text on blog post itself, the guestbook (방명록) and a "notice" page, if it has one. Two main keywords you want to look for are "2차가공" (secondary processing) and "로고 삭제/로고 크롭" (logo removal/logo crop), as these are always followed by some form of "금지" (prohibited), which makes these not okay for Commons. These are sometimes written in English on the posts ("do not edit"), and when answering to a query in the guestbook, the photographer will respond with "[...] 안 됩니다" ([...] is not allowed). Also, it's also a good idea simply search the blog (whatever.tistory.com) on Commons and cross-check for reviews of older uploads from the same blog. You also free to ask me, -revi, and (presumably) Puramyun31 to give something a look. ℯxplicit 10:48, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Anarchyte: you might also find it useful to review Commons:Where is the license on various sites? if you don't already know about that page. It has a Tistory entry. Ww2censor (talk) 11:18, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

eldiario.es licenseEdit

Hi,

I noticed that you have confirmed a lot of images from this site (eg. File:Concentración frente a la conselleria de Economía este jueves.jpg) as being CC-licensed. Looking at the license page at that site: http://www.eldiario.es/licencia/ I see the section:

Estas condiciones tienen las siguientes excepciones:
- No se aplica a los contenidos (textos, gráficos, informaciones, imágenes...) publicados por eldiario.es procedentes de terceros que vayan firmados o sean atribuibles a agencias de información (EFE, Europa Press...) o a cualquier otra empresa diferente de Diario de Prensa Digital, S.L. Todos los derechos sobre estos contenidos quedan estrictamente reservados a su titular (la agencia) y, por tanto, no podrán ser reproducidos, distribuidos, transformados o comunicados públicamente sin el consentimiento expreso de su titular.

That (IMO) clearly states that third-party signed photos (not by "Diario de Prensa Digital, S.L.") are not covered by any CC license. Could you, please, comment on this?

• Its just a question of copyright. Who took the original black and white photos? Did Farsnews do it or was it perhaps a personal friend of the deceased. If you have a question, post your pictures Here and ask a copyright specialist if they are OK or not? If the answer is no, please do not blame me. Someone who took a picture of an older picture does not own the copyright of the older picture. The person who took the original picture--I assume in the 1980's or 1970's did. I, too, got an image deleted since I took a picture of a picture and an Admin asked me if the original photographer licensed the image copright free...for non-commercial use. I said...I did not know and so the image I uploaded here was deleted. That was one image and it was a painful lesson. Please ask Village pump Copyright if the Fars pictures are OK. Its simple.

The sources are easy to find, so no need to put the files in deletion. @Sannita: I think that I've fixed most of them, but, if necessary, google "name surname site:dati.camera.it" and you should find the source. --Ruthven (msg) 22:55, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

• File:Filippo Piccone daticamera.jpg

Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 02:34, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

I knew that it would take about a week to fix all these images. I did not except multiple people to get in the way while doing so, making my job much harder in the process. These images are fine and marking them for deletion just puts unnecessary strain on my ability to properly review them. I've removed the remaining {{no source since}} tags from what's left. I know you have said that you are leaving them alone. Please do so and let me finish what I started. --Majora (talk) 03:50, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

• No problem Majora at all. That is why I didn't tag these 2 images above. Its just a pity the uploader uploaded these images without an accesible online source...which created these problems in the first place. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 05:36, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Mynewsdesk.comEdit

Hello Leoboudv,

I am here because I see that you have successfully passed the license review for File:Tingsrydtravet upplopp.jpg. Please note that mynewsdesk.com is listed at COM:Bad sources. When you see a file from that website, you should tag it with {{npd}} or {{nsd}} according to the instructions given at COM:Bad sources. You should not add {{LicenseReview}} to such files because the mentioned licenses are vague: they lack a version number (3 or 4) and a direct link to the legal web page of CC licenses at the official CC website. Please see Commons:Deletion requests/File:Pinkman with Yannick Gingras.jpg for an example.

Thank you. 4nn1l2 (talk) 17:08, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment: On mynewsdesk, I once saw a photo album or gallery once where individual images were licensed as CC BY 3.0 but OK, I will tag it as npd next time 4nn1l2. I don't know if people know about image licenses there. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 20:05, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hi Leoboudv, The following discussions in March 2012, June 2012 and August 2012 are probably the most pertinent to mynewsdesk being listed a bad source. I also think I see what they have done though I have no idea when they made the change. Previously the Creative Commons link on their image pages was to the actual license, while now it just states that images have a CC license without stating which one. I distinctly remember some of the discussions where Yann was also a contributor but we currently have 5,000+ mynewsdesk images here of which 178 are in a category need review but another category contains 3,800+ images, so there must be another 1,000+ lying around somewhere that are not categorised as mynewsdesk sourced images. Perhaps there needs to be a new discussion about the validity of all those images because I assume, based on a quick look at a few images, the 3,800+ all have good license reviews, thought I was always suspicious of mynewsdesk's licensing. Let me know if you take this any further. Ww2censor (talk) 22:14, 13 April 2018 (UTC)'* Comment: Thanks for the links Ww2censor on mynewsdesk.com. I always had the sense that something was not quite right but the license seemed to be CC BY 3.0 so I reluctantly reviewed them. I have been busy with work these past 2 days to mark many images at all. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 06:21, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

• Dear 4nn1l2 & Ww2censor

Here is the so-called mynewsdesk Photogallery and on the "Link" you can actually acccess the image and click on the license...and it says CC BY 3.0. So that was how I justified passing images from this web site with the words CC Erkannande. But the strange thing I thought when I passed the images was that....the author/photographer was never named. My apologies, the photographer is Named but I don't know if these images are truly OK for Commons. Maybe you do....but I have the feeling this website owners don't understand copyright. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 06:30, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

Public Domain Mark 1 is not accepted licenseEdit

Please do not mark Flickr images tagged with this licence as "accepted". PDM is not PD nor CC 0! Check this template for example: Template:Flickr-public domain mark/en and explanations provided there. Masur (talk) 19:27, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment: I don't mark flickr images that are PDM on flickr unless they are from the US Federal Government or its agencies Masur or from foreign states whose laws say they are PD--in which case I pass them. Other images with these license from private accounts I fail them unless they have a valid OTRS ticket which I checked with an Administrator first. I just did not know that PDM images existed on Mushroom Observer like this case. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 19:32, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
  • File:Michał Woś.JPG didn't come from states whose laws say they are PD. Masur (talk) 08:25, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
• I don't even know what File:Michał Woś.JPG looks like or where it came from as I am not an Admin. Sorry, --Leoboudv (talk) 08:28, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
  • • And I see that you "accepted" many other files coming from the same source (Chancellery of the Prime Minister of Poland FlickR account; many from here: Category:Files provided by Chancellery of the Prime Minister of Poland). Unfortunately in Poland there is nothing like "PD gov" in US, therefore releasing into PD needs to have a valid reason - for example an owner of Economic Rights of Authors can do it; or author itself when he is still the owner of these rights. But in all these cases, Chancellery of the Prime Minister of Poland fails to provide such justification and merely states (per license text): "[...] has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights. " which untrue. Masur (talk) 08:32, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
• Dear Masur,

I accepted the KPRM Chancellery of the Prime Minister of Poland flickr Polish images because I asked the experts on Commons around such as on the Admin noticeboard and I was told that these images were PD by law in Poland. So what was I to think? If you wish to stop accepting it, please tell Artur Andrez to stop uploading them. I did what I was advised to be told. I just asked somewhere a separate question over here on the copyright status of 2 images of Martin Bares & Petr Pleva. I don't act until the 'experts' give me advice and if the advice is wrong, then what can I say? I don't just pass images. It is almost 1:40 PM AM in Canada and I have to sign out soon after uploading a few images. Thank you Masur, --Leoboudv (talk) 08:40, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

• PS: Dear Masur,
  • No problemo. Now I am only wndering how to tackle these 200 or so images that are there. Masur (talk) 14:54, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

I think it was Norden1990 who convinced me that images from KPRM was PD by law in Poland from this DR In future, I could approach a KPRM image in this way...as I did with individual private flickr accounts. But the problem is it looks like the flickr bot operators or the Admins have programmed their system to accept PDM images from the KPRM account as this pass and this pass shows. And they are recent passes--December 2017 and 2018. Have you seen this Februry 2018 pass So, they seem to be saying that KPRM is OK for PDM images but private individual accounts are not. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 09:05, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

• I don't know. But since you are Polish and understand Polish copyright law, you would be more the expert here. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 18:28, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

File:Lil Pump in 2018.png - nominated for deletionEdit

Hello Leoboudv, just a quick info for you as the image's license reviewer that I have nominated this file for deletion. The original YouTube source seems to embed copyrighted external content. This original copyright cannot be overwritten by a YouTube license for a video, that merely re-publishes the external copyrighted content without explicit permission. Please feel free to comment on the deletion discussion, in case I misunderstood the source situation. Regardless, thank you for all your efforts to review and upload images on Commons - it is greatly appreciated. GermanJoe (talk) 11:14, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment: The image comes from a flickrwashing account Prugna. The flickr account owner is just stealing pictures that he DOESN'T own the rights to and posting it to his flickr account on a free license. That's why.

Mistake in license review of File:Little Lea, Belfast - Geograph-2516556-by-Albert-Bridge.jpgEdit

Hello. You recently reviewed the licence on the above file and marked it as passed, but the licence tag on the file was {{cc-by-2.0}} and pictures on Geograph Ireland (including this one) are licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0. I've corrected the licence tag and removed your mistaken review. --bjh21 (talk) 17:52, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment: You are right bjh21. My mistake. The license logo looked like CC BY but when I took a much closer at it, it was CC BY SA 2.0. Thank for correcting my error. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 19:33, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Bruno MottaEdit

I find this case slightly too complex to leave to FlickreviewR.

pt:Bruno Motta is a comedian from Brazil. (registered here as Special:Contributions/Brunomotta) File:Bruno Motta.jpg is his photo and he also has File:BrunoZé03pq.JPG. https://mobile.twitter.com/brunomotta is his Twitter account (verified by Twitter), also linked on his website.

There was no way to link https://www.flickr.com/photos/brunomottafotos/3710574781/ to him, he is in the OTRS process but I've been talking to him and I suggested he would link the Flickr account on his website/Twitter and change the license on Flickr. He linked the Flickr account on his Twitter and changed the license for both photos to CC0.

I will still let him go through OTRS, even if only because we generally require that for notable people editing Wikimedia projects. But I think File:BrunoZé03pq.JPG and File:Bruno Motta.jpg can also just be reviewed now since they have a compatible license on Flickr and the Flickr account can now be linked to him via his verified Twitter account. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 07:44, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

2 seconds after hitting "Publish changes" I ask myself if I shouldn't have asked on the OTRS noticeboard. I think I will. Silly me. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 07:46, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

Question regarding some videosEdit

Hi! I was just wondering if videos like this or this would be accepted on commons. I'm unsure so I figured I would ask before putting in the effort to upload images extracted from them.

Also, do you mind reviewing this image? It seems like Wikipedia generally prefers images to be reviewed before they're put to use, and I'd like to use it. Thanks. DanielleTH (talk) 21:46, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @DanielleTH: both videos say "Do not re upload" in the description, I'd skip these. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 01:02, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

Can I help?Edit

I'm asking you because you reviewed various images I uploaded or marked for review. I don't know where you stand on what I'm about to say.

I don't think I'm ever going to be accepted as a license reviewer. I don't know for sure to what degree you would trust me, but is there some way I could help? The backlog for videos is pretty huge. So for example, maybe I could check videos for derivative works and you could skip that check. I could also check other aspects, but since I don't expect to be accepted as a reviewer I can't actually review them. I'm not sure if there is a practical way I could help, but if you think there is let me know. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 21:56, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment: I am a busy person and have a job. You should ask an experienced Admin this question. I once review some videos as most times as I have too many images to review or have to work. Thanks, --Leoboudv (talk) 22:05, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Okay, I understand. Didn't mean to suggest you have too much time, just trying to help. I'd prefer to do it myself, but if my request is not accepted (and that seems a bit doubtful atm) I was hoping to be able to help/aid with the license reviewing somehow. As there now also is a support vote, I'll wait and see where my request goes. Maybe the first votes didn't set a trend after all. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 00:31, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

• Thanks for your help on creating a talkpage archive. Funny, it seems you have more experience than me here. Perhaps you could increase your number of edits to win more support to be a license reviewer. I don't know you but have no problems with your work. But I respect Majora and if he/she objects to you being a license reviewer then there may some issues with your work that I don't know of. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 00:49, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

I have written something about what I think Majora's objections are (and why I don't think those objections should disqualify me for license reviewing), but since you mentioned them I will wait so Majora can speak first. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 01:43, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi, For images from the Indian government (using {{GODL-India}}), you should review them like this instead of this. Thanks for your help, Yann (talk) 19:00, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

File:Zinedine Zidane by Tasnim 03.jpgEdit

Hi, could you take another look at this license review? It looks like the photographer is Hadi Abyar, and a search for that name suggests he is with "Fars News Agency" rather than Tasnim. The Tasnim CC-BY 4.0 license is only for Tasnim's own agency photographers, so I don't think it applies. Guanaco (talk) 03:37, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment: The image is on a Tasnim source. What would you have me do Guanaco? --Leoboudv (talk) 03:41, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

  I would start a DR. When the source is Tasnim we have to determine if it's actually a photo from Tasnim, or shared from another news agency. They are generous in licensing their own works, but they also use syndicated content from other organizations. This has been a frequent source of confusion, unfortunately, and there's no easy solution. Guanaco (talk) 03:47, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

• Dear Guanaco,

Since most images on Commons by Hadi Abyar are on Tasnim, perhaps you should launch a DR by yourself. One would think that Hadi works for Tasnim from this evidence. I don't have an appetite here and to me Fars and Tasnim are both Iranian government agencies. Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 03:53, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

I've discovered that Fars News Agency also licenses their content under CC BY 4.0, so I'm convinced these are fine to keep. Guanaco (talk) 04:03, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

• Thank You Guanaco. I have to review both Tasnim and Fars images. The Iranian state is smart...they license many images free and they appear on Wikicommons unlike the Arab states. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 04:06, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Guanaco: Some photographers work for more than one agency. As long as photos are credited to a person they are fine. (I haven't found a case yet of a photo that had a black credit border with the name of a person that wasn't freely licensed) Also, we have {{Fars}}. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 08:59, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
