Lastly you had placed a copyright deletion on this photo I had upload, but I would request you to please take back the deletion request as mentioned earlier I had provided viewers with the actual Author of the photo as well as the site I had collected from. And in the site Getty Image it is mentioned that the photo is free for use except any advertisement purpose. So I would request you to please take back the deletion request because it's a free to use image Swastik Mridha (talk) 13:51, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

@Swastik Mridha: Where does it say it's a free for use image? It literally says "rights managed", meaning there are restrictions and price scales based on how it's used. It's very much not free. And an image that's "free for use except any advertisement purpose" is not allowed on Commons because that's not a free license.

Anyway, it looks like you misunderstood the "for editorial use" restriction. It means that editorial outlets (i.e. news websites) can use the image by paying the licensing fee. Non-editorial users (like advertisers) can use the image with certain restrictions and permissions. It is not a free-to-use image. Ytoyoda (talk) 14:01, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Okay, I apologise for the error I did due to my misinterpretation of the copyright claim criteria as per provided by Getty Image. I take back my proposal for Undeletion. Please do forgive me due to the unwanted situation created for my wrong interruption.

Thank you and have a nice day Swastik Mridha (talk) 14:11, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

@Swastik Mridha: No worries. Thank you for understanding. In the future, unless you actually see a Creative Commons license or a notice that says "public domain", then please assume that a photo is copyrighted. Ytoyoda (talk) 14:14, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Regarding missing permission information

Hey, this is about File:Temuco, Araucania.jpg, File:Diego de Almagro, Chile.jpg, File:Mejillones.jpg, File:Camiña.jpg, File:Visviri.jpg, File:Isluga.jpg.

This files were originally created by the Government of Chile and as far as my understanding of law goes they all fall within Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Chile (CC BY-SA 3.0 CL).

www.temuco.cl is the official website of the government of the city of Temuco

www.chileestuyo.cl is a website operated by the National Service of Turism (Servicio Nacional de Turismo; abbreviated as SERNATUR) which is part of the Ministry of Economy, Development and Tourism.

www.municipalidaddecamiña.cl is the official website of the government of the town of Camiña

www.fcalp.cl is the official website of the Arica-La Paz Railway (Ferrocarril Arica–La Paz) which is operated by EFE (Empresa de los Ferrocarriles del Estado) which is owned by the government of Chile.

www.goretarapaca.gov.cl is the official website of the Government of the Region of Tarapaca.

That is my understanding of Chilean copyright law, if I'm mistaken then I apologize for wasting your time and won't do anything to contest your final decision regarding the matter.

Best regards, AtomsRavelAz (talk) 16:21, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

@AtomsRavelAz: Thanks for your message. I don't doubt that you're correct about Chilean government copyright, but my issue was that there was no link for me to visit and verify the license. Would you mind adding the URL to the pages where those pictures appear? Ytoyoda (talk) 13:35, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

@Ytoyoda: I added the links (Temuco, Araucania.jpg; Diego de Almagro, Chile.jpg; Mejillones.jpg; Camiña.jpg; Isluga.jpg; Visviri.jpg). The Chilean government was not the original creator of Mejillones.jpg, the website of the national service of turism that hosted the picture was taken down, the original image does have a Editorial Use Only license, so I'd really appreciate if you could take a look at it and determine whether the copyright is correct and if the picture should be deleted or not. Also Diego de Almagro, Chile.jpg appears on a slideshow in the website provided, thought I'd mention it in case you couldn't find the picture. Best Regards AtomsRavelAz (talk) 18:25, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

@AtomsRavelAz: Thanks. In general, please add links to the pages where you find your images, not just the website (like this). That makes it so much easier for other users to verify that the license is correct. Though a question - the {{CC-GobCL}} applies to the works of Chile's national government, it's not clear to me if it also applies to the works of city governments or the EFE, a company that's funded and operated by the government, but not the government itself. Ytoyoda (talk) 14:09, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

@Ytoyoda: Thanks for replying. I'll start adding links the way you suggested. Regarding {{CC-GobCL}}, I read ordinance 112/14 (Link in Spanish) issued by the Ministry General Secretariat of Government regarding this matter. On item II (p.1) it states that the ordinance applies to "informative websites of the administration of the state(i.e the country), dependant or related to the central government". City governments in Chile are part of the administration of the state and are dependant and related to the central government, EFE is dependant of the central governemnt.

Hello I`ve taken the image from [1] where it is stated that it is in public domain. The other image is a cropped version of that one.--Pacostein (talk) 21:59, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the Flickr public domain mark isn’t accepted at Commons, as it’s not an actual license - it’s a way for Flickr users to claim that an image is in the public domain for another reason, such as work whose copyright has expired. The public domain mark alone isn’t enough to show that it’s in the public domain. Ytoyoda (talk) 04:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello, both photos were given to me by "Delhaye Luc", a friend of mine, in order to feed the Wikipedia artcile with a few photos. Sorry, I'm a boring beginner ;-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andywiki24 (talk • contribs) 11:14, May 13, 2020‎ (UTC)

@Andywiki24: Hi, thanks for leaving the message here. If your friend is okay with their photographs being republished with a free license, please ask them to submit a statement at COM:OTRS (the steps are described in the link — your friend just has to send in an email showing that they are the owner of the photographs and they agree to a free license that allows commercial use and modification).

Hello Ytoyoda, some feedback. The process is ongoing, here is the reference of the Ticket#2020051510007543. They approuved but asked now the original files with metadata.

@Rock bike read: A few things:

1. I didn’t edit the page. Not sure what gave you the impression.
2. Even if I did, there’s nothing wrong - no one owns Wikipedia content. It doesn’t belong to the subject or any particular editor.
3. Remember to assume good faith. Even if you disagree with something, please don’t question other editors' intent.
4. What I did do was point out copyright issues with photographs you’ve uploaded. Copyright for photographs generally belongs to the photographers, not the person in the photographs. You’ll need written permission from the photographers to keep them here.

Hope this all helps and makes sense. Ytoyoda (talk) 02:45, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

My images

Hi Ytoyoda, I want to know why do you want to delete the images I posted. They are all my own work, and all are taken in France in the late 1990s. I just want to help, and I give them to you only for that purpose, but if you don't believe me you can do whatever you want with them. Wikipedia has very few pictures of Djorkaeff, especially of his playing career. Allez Les Bleus 80 (talk) 19:59, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Are you sure? File:Djorkaeff Les Bleus 2002.jpg is a crop of this Getty Images photo. All the other ones are screenshots. Ytoyoda (talk) 20:37, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

@Ytoyoda: Oh man, If I wanted to make screenshots, I would make them with much better quality. Today, everything is on YouTube. I am a former journalist photographer, I worked for a newspaper in France for 20 years and I give you these pictures that were not used because they were of poor quality, for this other one I did not know it was published, now I see it for the first time. Maybe I gave it to someone I don't remember. In journalism, photos are often exchanged with colleagues. But as you wish, I will not explain anymore, in the end I certainly have none of this.

File: Heidi / Jaida / Viviene

Hi Ytoyoda, I noticed the warnings regarding the images that I uploaded, and I tried in every way to find a suitable solution as new in the sector.

I have tried every way to find a solution, but unfortunately it has been in vain.

So if everything does not respect the various licenses mentioned on the regulation, I can accept the immediate deletion of all images, trying to be careful in the future with the upload using the appropriate method and licenses.

I thank you in advance, and I still hope for other future collaborations. :) --Dominikcapuan (talk) 00:11, 1 Jun 2020 (CEST)

@Dominikcapuan: Thank you for leaving a message. So here's the deal — all images on Commons have to be free. Not free as in free of cost, but free of copyright restrictions — we need users to be able to take any content from the site and use or modify for any purpose. Now, almost every photographs you find on the internet are copyrighted, because that's the default — if you take a picture on your phone, you own the copyright to that picture unless you declare it's in the public domain. Now, there are resources for license-free photographs, but like I said, most of what you find online are copyrighted and aren't accepted here. Your best bets are:

• Asking photographers to relicense their photographs under a Creative Commons license, like {{CC-BY}} or {{CC-BY-SA}}
• Taking photographs of people yourself (I realize that's difficult now with the pandemic)

Otherwise, you just have to deal with some articles not having decent photographs. I know that's frustrating — I'm having trouble finding images for articles I edit, too. Hope that helps. 23:07, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

File:LCA_Tejas_aerial_refuse_from_IAF_Il-78_tanker.jpg <Converned upload. Hi, being new here, I do not know the procedure to insert the licence information of {{GODL-India}} to the publicly up released images by government of India or authorised person.

@Ytoyoda: Incorrect , by "data" they mean photo, audio, text, video... Anything that license applies to.

Quoting from the pdf of GODL India (3rd link in here: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:GODL-India): “Data” means a representation of information4, numerical compilations and observations, documents, facts, maps, images, charts, tables and figures, concepts in digital and/or analog form, and includes metadata.

Thank you for you patience & help. Please insert the licensing in this image upload. And will it work if I put the code of Template:GODL- India in other licences box while uploading?.. Can't keep requesting someone else to do it for every upload. BlehDFI (talk) 00:53, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Just saw your reply to my deletion request of the not-so-great photos I took. I think the only solution for me now is to go out there and try to take some better ones, haha. If there is anything else I should consider (e.g. 'formally' removing the requests, if necessary), please let me know.

A question before uploading a photo

Hi Ytoyoda,

I am planning on creating a Wikipedia bio on Julie Chavez Rodriquez (political activist and granddaughter of American civil rights activitst Caesar Chavez). She has a photo on the Obama White House website. [3]] I believe this image to be public domain, as it is produced by the U.S. government. Am I correct? Will this image be ok to upload to WikiCommons? thanks MauraWen (talk) 14:54, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

@MauraWen: Hi, I think the image is perfectly fine, though you might want to work off the version at https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/white-house-julie-chavez-carries-grandfathers-public-service-legacy-n331446, since it’s at a much higher resolution. Either way, the {{PD-USGov-POTUS}} license should work. Ytoyoda (talk) 04:44, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks Ytoyoda, for the information and the better image link! MauraWen (talk) 10:46, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi, aren't mugshots fair/free use images?

https://www.newmediarights.org/put_mugshot_it_things_think_about_using_mugshots_commercial_products — Preceding unsigned comment added by LaDanian1000000 (talk • contribs) 23:48, August 7, 2020‎ (UTC)

It depends. Like your link says, FBI mugshots are in the public domain, but copyright for booking photos from other agencies depends on the copyright policies of their jurisdictions. So it wasn't obvious from your description who took the photo (you only provided the Bleacher Report link). But it looks like he was arrested by the Miami Beach PD, so the picture looks fine.

Though in the future, please make sure to provide the agency that took the photo, not just the article link, and fair use is not allowed on Commons. Thanks for checking in though. Ytoyoda (talk) 14:09, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

I don't think it's free because I believe government works in Texas are protected by copyright. It's highly doubtful it would be fair use because it's a picture of a living person who is a public figure. Ytoyoda (talk) 14:28, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello

Hello

About the copyright of the images that I publish while you are deleting them, demanding a copyright license from the owner of the image, I would like you to know that such a license doesn't exist in our country, and what is published on the site referred to in the name of owner of the image and mentioned its source, the owner of the image considered it common act when Posted in the referenced source.

You can verify the veracity of my words by writing to the source so I hope you will not delete the images that I am making an effort to upload her.

Thanks.Moody2019 (talk) 06:00, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

@Moody2019: If the copyright owners have given permission, please direct them to COM:OTRS so that they can verify that the license information is correct. Thank you. Also, I'm not the one deleting the images — I'm tagging images where there isn't sufficient, verifiable information abotu the license and letting you know, but they're reviewed and deleted by admins.

Generally the photos from EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT is permitted As a general rule, the reuse (reproduction or use) of textual data and multimedia items which are the property of the European Union (identified by the words “© European Union, [year(s)] – Source: European Parliament” or “© European Union, [year(s)] – EP”) or of third parties (© External source, [year(s)]), and for which the European Union holds the rights of use, is authorised, for personal use or for further non-commercial or commercial dissemination, provided that the entire item is reproduced and the source is acknowledged. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/privacy-policy/en/legal-notice

@Dor-astra: Hi, thank you for your response. The issue isn't the image size, but the license. Commons does not accept photographs from the European Parliament because they do not allow derivative works. Ytoyoda (talk) 15:13, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

but don't you see the licence above? (Dor-astra (talk) 15:17, 10 August 2020 (UTC))

@Dor-astra: Yes. The key phrase there is "provided that the entire item is reproduced". That means the European Parliament does not allow end users to modify images. All photos on Commons must allow derivative works. Please see Commons:Deletion requests/Images from the European Parliament Website and Commons:Deletion requests/File:FM Marina Kaljurand was in Brussels, attended the high-level seminar “Enhancing EU-NATO cooperation in the field of cyber security," at the European Parliament (05.04) (26266765265).jpg Ytoyoda (talk) 15:24, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:KSC ISS mural.jpg

This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:KSC ISS mural.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!

Violation of Wikimedia policies

Hello,

I didn't know that Getty images were not allowed. I uploaded this file https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bryan_Miller.jpg

I can't delete it. Could you please delete it? Can I put a pic from subject's Instagram account with his written permission?

Many thanks Ablasaur (talk) 08:16, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

@Ablasaur: Thanks for reaching out. You could upload a photo from an Instagram account, but a couple of important things.

1. The copyright owner needs to verify permission through the process described at COM:OTRS
2. The copyright owner probably is not the subject/Instagram account owner. You'd most likely need to get permission from the photographer.

Though it looks like the Getty Images photographer has given permission to publish the photo freely, so the existing photo seems fine. Ytoyoda (talk) 14:16, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Why did you think Flickr review is required here?

License declared in Flickr is irrelevant in such cases (as well as the source itself). Ankry (talk) 10:29, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

@Ankry: I thought the photograph copyright still mattered in cases like these, but I trust your expertise here. Ytoyoda (talk) 16:11, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Well, while I may be wrong and you may be right here, I do not think that such a doubt qualifies as speedy as it is not just an obvious copyvio. And Flickreviewr is efectively a speedy nomination that cannot be even contested, as the declared license template ({{PD-old-100}}) is incompatible with Flickr and a failed Flickrreview cannot be even converted to a DR. I'd suggest to use a DR in such cases. Ankry (talk) 17:05, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi Ytoyoda,

I have directly coordinated with the photographer for the photos I uploaded last Friday (21 August) who just sent the permission release email today. I've also included the permission tag pending approval to that email response in each description. Should this be sufficient to keep the files from being deleted until review/approval is completed?

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by JSafi ToffeeFan (talk • contribs) 17:26, August 24, 2020‎ (UTC)

Hi, sorry for the slow response, but looks like your uploads are all set. Ytoyoda (talk) 01:15, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Wrong RD

Hi. You made Category:Model an RD to Category:Models. Category:Models is not a cat but a disam page; therefore the RD does not serve anything good. It will only cause people to add their out of scope images to a disambiguation page, where they will pile up. Who will clean up there, yourself? OTOH, Category:Model is the legitimate cat for a Turkish musical group. How will people know that they have to look for it as "Category:Model (band)? When you write "Category:Model" into the search box, there is no indication of the band whose name is "Model"! This is unacceptable. Find a solution or say "I was wrong". Either you or I will have to revert your wrong move. Regards. --E4024 (talk) 02:07, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

@E4024: I changed the redirect back to going back to the band. Though I wonder if it make more sense to redirect to Category:Models (people). The category without the disambiguation was clearly causing confusion, as inexperienced users were putting modeling photos in the band category.

I believe the best practice is for the Commons cat name to match the English wiki name when possible. In this case, it’s en:Model (band). That’s pretty common when a band name is also a common noun. As far as search, I think it takes time for Authority Control to catch up and it shouldn’t be a problem. Ytoyoda (talk) 12:01, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi,

This file's original version is shared under CC BY SA 4.0 here so there shouldn't be any deletion process. I didn't understand why you keep deleting specifically the stuff I do. --Comrade-yutyo (talk) 16:36, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

@Comrade-yutyo: I didn't see a link to the original. In fact, you claimed you were the copyright owner. Could you provide a link on the image page? Ytoyoda (talk) 16:56, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

@Ytoyoda: Here. I have claimed I am the copyright holder because I have done the vectorization work of this image and then shared it under same manners. --Comrade-yutyo (talk) 21:35, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

@Comrade-yutyo: The link you provided is for a non-free image. The first sentence of the license template says "This is a logo of an organization, item, or event, and is protected by copyright" and it literally says "Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement"! If an en-wiki image has a fair use rationale, it cannot be uploaded to Commons. Also, modifying or vectorizing an image does not make you the copyright holder.

Hey Ytoyoda,

I'm new to Wikimedia. Thanks for pointing it out about the picture. The Twitter user actually used my picture. I have since emailed the OTRS. If you need anything else, please let me know. Thank you so much for being on top of this. Best. JH. JadeH41 (talk) 12:44, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

"Building exteriors"

I see that you are adding nonexistent categories like Category:Building exteriors in Washington (state) and Category:Building exteriors in Connecticut. Are you planning to create these categories?

You might want to think twice about this: I'm sure that a solid majority of pictures we have of buildings are of their exteriors. I would guess that over 90% of the images directly in, for example, Category:Buildings in Washington (state) are of exteriors. Are we really going to make this a subcat and move over 90% of the images? - Jmabel ! talk 15:51, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

@Jmabel: Hi, thanks for the comment and yeah, definitely get your concern. I created the "Building exteriors in..." subcats as a way to organize the various exteriors subcategories like Category:Exteriors of museums in the United States or for specific buildings, like Category:Exterior of the United States Capitol where the building categories require subcategorization. Is there a way to prevent these subcats from being populated by hundreds of single-building images? Ytoyoda (talk) 16:07, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Not that I know of. That's part of why I think it's not a great idea. - Jmabel ! talk 00:01, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

I have no idea what you mean by "looked for it under settings free copyright". Among other things, you uploaded at least one image from Newsweek, which is obviously copyrighted. This is obviously a copyright violation. Whatever you think you are doing to find images that are not copyrighted, it does not work. - Jmabel ! talk 04:22, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

@Phillypaboy123: I'm not sure what you mean by "their website", but you should know that almost every photo you find on the web is copyrighted and cannot be uploaded to Commons. There are a few exceptions (some photographers license their photos with Creative Commons licenses), but unless you see specifically stated that the work is in the public domain or CC-BY/CC-BY-SA, then you should assume that you can't upload it here.

@Ytoyoda: like his work website, like nba website, is that public? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phillypaboy123 (talk • contribs) 08:45, October 5, 2020‎ (UTC)

@Phillypaboy123: Please don't upload anything from the NBA website. All of their photographs are owned by Getty Images. Once again, I ask you to spend time reading COM:COPYRIGHT, particularly this infographic. It looks like you're confusing "public" and "free for personal use" with "public domain" and "freely licensed". Websites make images public and free to view for their users. That does not mean you can do whatever you want with the photographs. Chances are, the websites you go to say "All Rights Reserved." That means that you can't take images from their websites and publish them elsewhere. And I can't emphasize this enough, please read the entirety of COM:COPYRIGHT.

I assume this is @Phillypaboy123: ? That's a good question, and I didn't know about Getty Images doing that so thanks for the link. But it looks like Getty Images' "free" program is about "free of cost", not "freely licensed", which is what we mean by "free images". In the article, it talks about Getty Images requiring users to embed images using Getty links. That means end users can't freely edit the photos — they have to use the original Getty Images photos without modifications. Any images on Commons has to allow modifications and derivative works. Also, it looks like the free use program only applies to Getty's stock photos (the "creative" photographs that you see in ads and in blog articles), and not the news photographs. Ytoyoda (talk) 14:58, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

@Ytoyoda: Hey, But I have seen press using these images which means they probably can be used by Wikipedia

Sure, but (1) news outlets are generally paying subscription or per-use fees to Getty Images, and (2) They're not trying to run a free-license encyclopedia. News outlets use copyrighted images because they agree to the terms & conditions of Getty Images. Wikipedia does not. Ytoyoda (talk) 20:46, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

@Ytoyoda: Hey, The Article says the we have to link/embed it and thats the only way. Wikipedia makes us link it.

@Phillypaboy123: If you read the article again, Getty Images requires end users to embed the image and does not allow derivative use. It's clear that you didn't follow the directions here. This goes against the Commons licensing agreement. And your latest upload doesn't seem to be a Getty Images photo anyway. Oh, and a minor thing, but you don't have to ping people when you're on their talk page - they get notifications without the ping. Ytoyoda (talk) 13:37, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Dear @Ytoyoda, I am a new user, not sure if I am replying correctly to you or not so my apologies if I am not. You sent me a message in regards to a photo I uploaded for the Angelique Fawcette page. I and my company owns the photo. Can you please remove the possibility for deletion as there is no violation, or if there is an area where I can state the copyright ownership which is my own please let me know. Thank you. TryMe99 (talk) 17:20, 21 October 2020 (UTC)TryMe99

@TryMe99: Hi, thanks for the message. Since the photo has been published in the past and is credited to Johnny Villanueva on IMDB, the photographer would have to contact the Wikimedia Foundation via directions at COM:OTRS with a copyright declaration (please follow the OTRS link for details). Ytoyoda (talk) 18:45, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello @YToyoda, thank you so much for your reply. It is common as an independent film-maker to give the photographer credit for taking the photo as to help them in their career(s). But I and my company hold the copyright to the actual photo(s). One photographer was on set JV and the other photographer AG was hired for an event at the Mann's Chinese Theater that we held. I will go back to IMDB and correct the actual Ownership of the photo as on IMDB you are given the right and ability to upload your own work. The copyright for both photos is Angelique Fawcette / Archangel Films LA. My company website is Archangelfilmsllcla.com. I will correct it and I hope that you would consider re-uploading the photo that was removed as I have learned that I cannot post on a page that includes me. COI. Don't want to violate that. Thank you for your time and again for your reply.TryMe99 (talk) 19:12, 21 October 2020 (UTC)TryMe99

@TryMe99: I don't have the power to un-delete a photo. You will have to request it at COM:UDR. Also, regardless of the photographer credit, you will have to submit a statement to COM:OTRS since the photo was published prior to your upload here. Ytoyoda (talk) 19:16, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

@YToyoda , thank you for the note back. I am a victim of a cyber-crime right now that's being investigated outside of this program and "daily" individuals are making drastic changes to this page with my film career information on it. Not blaming you but may I ask what alerted you to the page with my name on it in particular? And sadly, I actually so own "both" photos factually and can prove as such through a private link on at minimum one of these photos (they are both old), the other I have work contracts to prove ownership. So, often a image may in actuality belong to someone or an entity/company even though you cannot locate the actual ownership on the internet. Would a better policy be to check with the Wiki-User first to see if they own the photo or not first rather than delete it and state that there is a copyright issue? I am not being mean by stating this, please know. But if this was done to me this must be happening to many, many other individuals who are editing as fairly as they possibly can and then they are knocked down. Grateful for your time and possible response.TryMe99 (talk) 23:25, 21 October 2020 (UTC)TryMe99

Marina

The image is from 1938, it is freely licensed why did you readd the deletion? Vallee01 (talk) 13:06, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

@Vallee01: Because being from 1938 does not make the image free. The license you chose, {{PD-old-70-expired}} says the image is in the public domain if it was published before 1925 or the author has been dead for 70 years or longer. Neither of those is true. 1938 is after 1925 and the photographer died in 1982, which is less than 70 years ago.

Now, if you remember, you initially claimed the image was from 1923 even though the source says 1936 and the Spanish Civil War didn't start until 1936. After I corrected your mistakes and presumably realized that the license was not valid, you added a non-free license, and you then presumably realized the image would be speedy-deleted. I think you realize that the image isn't actually free. Ytoyoda (talk) 13:49, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

I just copy and pasted the information from this image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Marina_Ginesta.jpg. I never tried to get it away from speedy deletion I just took the information from the uncolorized image and added it to the colorized. Vallee01 (talk) 14:15, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Right, but there's a reason it's licensed as a non-free image on Wikipedia. Ytoyoda (talk) 14:27, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

So if the colorized revision is an almost identical version of the non-colorized, if both are identical. Why is on licensed to you and the other not? Vallee01 (talk) 14:35, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

I'm not understanding your question. Non-free images are allowed on English wiki under very limited circumstances. They are never allowed on Commons. Ytoyoda (talk) 14:41, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

So then could the image be licensed in Wikipedia? Also according to the information of flickr it states who created the image. Vallee01 (talk) 14:46, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

It's doubtful, since there's already a version of the image on Wikipedia. There should not be more than one copy of a non-free image. Also, the Flickr link says who colorized the photo, but the copyright always belongs to the original photographer. Ytoyoda (talk) 14:48, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Colorization is sufficiently creative to create an additional new copyright for the additional work, but does not obviate the copyright on the underlying work. - Jmabel ! talk 17:10, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

In the United States anything created in the Spanish Civil war from 1936-1939 are licensed freely: https://www.loc.gov/rr/print/res/245_spcw.html "Posters in this collection were published in Spain between 1936 and 1939. There are no copyright notices or symbols on the posters." I am nearly certain the copyright status is gone, but I can't appear to find it, I will keep digging and won't stop until I get this photo on Wikimedia, I don't care if I need to track down the family of Marina to get permission, I don't care if I need to travel to Spain (Well I won't do that). It's such a good photo that tells a million words, it's criminal for the world not to see it, it's just an amazing piece of work and for it to be removed is a disservice to the world.

I also want to say how absurd this is, Marina was a known anti-capitalist and communist and who's photo is a universal symbol of anti-capitalism. Who's photo is currently being discussed for who owns the copyright status, to me that is extremely depressing. Nobody would care if this image was used. Well you have to defend intellectual property rights which simply push humanity back. I don't think you should be able to claim human thought, but that's my personal thoughts it really doesn't matter to the discussion. Thanks. Vallee01 (talk) 17:25, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Good luck with that? Though a couple of things:

• The link you provided says ...if the posters were copyrighted and the copyrights were renewed, they are protected for 95 years from the copyright date. Simply being from the 1930s isn't enough to strip its copyright. Since we know the photographer and that he lived until 1982, the copyright protection remains.
• Your best bet is to contact the photographer's estate. Copyright belongs to the creator, not the person pictured (the subject has some personality rights, though that's not what we're discussing here). Ytoyoda (talk) 17:44, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Very good photo!

The section for deletion

You marked an image as a "direct duplicate" but I actually changed around the colors and framing. So it's not a direct duplicate. Vallee01 (talk) 20:34, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

@Vallee01: Got it - I removed the duplicate template. Though I do want to advise against uploading PNG versions of photographs, since the conversion from JPEG flattens and de-sharpens images and PNGs load slowly on Wikipedia. Ytoyoda (talk) 20:52, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

why it's going to delete?

Hi. You literally wanna delete all the photos i've upload. I'm working on an article to use these photos in it. Many of these photos have uploaded in Flickr. Please don't do this. I have worked for these a lot. File:Pouyan-Ahmadi11.jpg File:Pouyan-Ahmadi9.jpg File:Pouyan-Ahmadi8.jpg File:Pouyan-Ahmadi10.jpg File:Pouyan-Ahmadi7.jpg File:Pouyan-Ahmadi6.jpg File:Pouyan-Ahmadi5.jpg File:Pouyan-Ahmadi4.jpg File:Pouyan-Ahmadi3.jpg File:Pouyan-Ahmadi2.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by Varmasha (talk • contribs)

@Varmasha: Hi, please make sure to respond at Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Varmasha (and sign your comments with ~~~~~). It's not obvious that they're within the project scope (please see COM:SCOPE) and I'm also concerned that the works may be derivative works of existing photographs. But again, please respond at the discussion page if you want the images to be kept. Ytoyoda (talk) 15:44, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Lara Fabian (De-Lovely) - 22 May 2004.jpg

Dear user Ytoyoda, I have paid to download this image and take a specific license only for Commons purposes. --StrangeTraveler (talk) 18:52, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

@StrangeTraveler: Hi, paying Getty Images only gives you a license for a specific use. It does not make the image copyright-free. To upload an image to Commons, the owner (in this case, Getty Images and the photographer) must relinquish all rights, and all users must be able to modify, republish or sell the image without restrictions. Since you had to pay for the photo and it's still on sale at Gettyimages.com, there's very little chance the image has a free license. Ytoyoda (talk) 19:04, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Please leave redirects when moving files

Hi! You renamed File:Kin-9020-osakaline.JPG and if it is deleted on Japanese Wikipedia it will leave a page broken. So please leave a redirect when you move files and/or make sure to change all pages that uses the old file name. --MGA73 (talk) 17:27, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:Taxi cab meter Japan (2).jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Taxi cab meter Japan (2).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 {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) 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. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

I am aware

Hello i noted that my photo is not suitable for Commons since it got signed for deletion, so i was hoping to know how to delete it. Thanks ~ Er surgi — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 93.71.237.145 (talk) 17:11, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

@Er surgi: @93.71.237.145: If you want your own image deleted, you can add the speedy deletion tag like this: {{speedy|reason for deleting}}. Ytoyoda (talk) 17:46, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

File:Darreon Mark (Southall FC).jpg and File:Max Howell (Southall FC).jpg

Hello, thank you for your notes about File:Darreon Mark (Southall FC).jpg and File:Max Howell (Southall FC).jpg

I thought I had added these images correctly but it seems not, but I am not sure how to add the images correctly, please can you advise what I need to do differently?

To confirm: Southall Football Club own both of the images and have sent both of the images to me by email and have given me permission to add them to the Southall F.C. Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southall_F.C.).

Therefore there is no issue with permission, the only issue is correct procedure for adding the images, so can you please confirm what I need to do, as I seem to be running into issues with the way I am uploading images, when I have permission to use them. Thank you. Mark Roach Southall FC (talk) 16:31, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

N.B. There are some duplicates of images and the only versions of images required on the Southall F.C. Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southall_F.C.) are the versions that have been published on that page, all other versions are not needed and can be deleted - are you able to delete them please? Thank you. Mark Roach Southall FC (talk) 16:31, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

@Mark Roach Southall FC: Hi, thanks for replying here. If you have permission from the club, you can have them verify the licensing information through the steps described at COM:OTRS. I realize this might seem like unnecessary red tape, but going through this process ensures that the source information is confirmed and the permission can't be revoked in the future. As far as duplicates, I can mark them up so there's only one copy of an image. Ytoyoda (talk) 21:09, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
