Military patch created by a site that doesn't freely license. Abzeronow (talk) 18:00, 1 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The owner of the website either needs to show that this drawing of the patch is under a free license or he needs to contact COM:VRT because all I see is an all rights reserved copyright notice.

*  Oppose This file represents the insignia of a Ukrainian military unit, this representation is therefore excluded from Copyright according to Ukrainian law (online on the official website of the Ukrainian government here => [1] ) which therefore places this file in the public domain, regardless of the means used to reproduce it.

@Abzeronow: No, whatever process is used to reproduce a Ukrainian military insignia, the resulting image will always be excluded from copyright by Ukrainian law, that would be too easy, it would be enough to redraw the insignia, say "this is I who did it" and to demand royalties from the Ukrainian army: If it is the image or reproduction of a badge used by the soldiers of the Ukrainian army, it is in the public domain .

It is the same argument. It can be a photograph taken during the filming by the producers. The creators are still the copyright holders, and the government cannot re-license their intellectual property at will. This is the same as trying to upload this painting by Carlos Alonso (b. 1929) to Commons just because the owner of the painting happens to the government and it posted it on their website that has a footer claiming all the content is CC-BY.

File:A-4Fs Blue Angels Delta.jpg[edit]

This is a still from the 1976 IMAX film To Fly!. Looking at the archived URL, it seems that Air/Space misattributed it to the US Navy; the still is most likely provided by Conoco or DuPont as the film's copyright owner, to the Navy, who then shared it with Air/Space. This can be seen in page 395 of this book, and can be seen in the film here, the only difference being that this image has a muted regrading.

FOP in Germany only covers external appearance of buildings and only when the image is taken from a public and publicly-accessible place, these are taken from a place (inside the stadium) that is not publicly-accessible (a fee would be charged for admittance) and therefore are not covered by German FOP. Two are taken from the air and are also not covered.

All architecture is copyrightable, the only time that I am aware of architecture has not been afforded protection is in relation to prefabricated mass produced houses and not to independently designed sports stadiums, all of the elements you see in these images, the roof, the stands everything was custom designed with this stadium and this client in mind and is therefore copyright to the architect. LGA talkedits 13:01, 16 December 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@LGA: You're wrong. Please consider that German Urheberrecht applies here. The roof might be debatable (see Túrelio), the stands for sure are not copyrighted. Please respect the facts, see opinions (for keeping the images) of experienced users above.

  • Just in short, as I don’t have much time now. Per § 2 Absatz 1 Nr. 4, Absatz 2[3] of copyright law of Germany (UrhG), which is primarily applicable here due to the location of the building, buildings (or parts of them) are copyrightable only if they are a work of art (Baukunst) above threshold of originality (Schöpfungshöhe or Gestaltungshöhe).[4]
  • Whether something qualifies as a “work of art” needs to be evaluated individually, of course. Nevertheless, § 2 Absatz 2 UrhG[5] clearly states that to be copyrightable per this law, a work needs to be “a personal intellectual creation”. Further qualifiers, as used in legal literature: it needs to be “clearly above the average” of comparable buildings.[6][7]; “individuality does not equal originality“[8]. Other refs: [9],[10],[11]. All my references are in German and IANAL, sorry.
  • Now, applied to the above listed images, I am still convinced that they show nothing copyrightable, except possibly #6&7. --Túrelio (talk) 14:18, 16 December 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The fact that the stadium design is a "personal intellectual creation" can not be up for debate, it clearly is; and we are talking about an custom design, created for this tenant, we are not dealing with a mass produced chair, office block or house. LGA talkedits 19:46, 16 December 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It's a pity you keep repeating yourself instead of dealing with the arguments other users bring into this discussion based on publications. As Túrelio said before: Individuality is not originality. You say that each stadium is individual. That's fine. It doesn't say too much about the copyright protection due to German law, though, as the threshold of originality must be reached; this is not only reasoned with individuality. Yellowcard (talk) 00:28, 17 December 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Delete It seems that COM:FOP#Germany doesn't apply unless the camera is located in a public place, and it seems that places high up in the sky or inside a location which requires an entrance fee do not count as public places.

You are correct in your 1st statement about FOP, though it isn't an issue here. However, I have to question your analogy of a designer chair (image) to a complex building. I can easily see quite some originality in this chair, but not in the discussed arena. --Túrelio (talk) 17:38, 17 December 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Files in Category:Impuls Arena[edit]

per Gnom and H-stt in this discussion in German-language Wikipedia: This stadium is a work of architecture protected by copyright; freedom of panorama in Germany doesn't cover aerial photography, so aerial / drone photos of this stadium can't be kept. Though as mentioned in COM:FOP Germany, a regional court (Landgericht) in Frankfurt am Main ruled "that it is allowed to photograph copyrighted works even from the airspace and to use the resulting images for commercial purposes, provided that the works are in public spaces" in 2020, but apparently, a higher court (Oberlandesgericht Hamm) ruled differently since then (maybe H-stt can elaborate on that and update COM:FOP Germany accordingly).

I just updated COM:FOP Germany. And yes, the vast majority of aerial photography from Germany has to go, if modern buildings are the center of the image. Only those buildings, where the copyright has expired, where the modern building is just one of many in the picture or the building is extremely simple, we can keep the picture. And with extremely simple I mean exactly that.

I would guess that buildings like merely functional agricultural sheds or typical warehouses / storage buildings (basically boxes with no aesthetical aspirations whatsoever) would still be below the threshold of originality, but buildings like this stadium do aspire to a certain aesthetic appeal, see for example this article published when it opened: "Das Stadion selbst ist ein architektonisch ansprechendes Gebäude (...)", an "architecturally appealing building".

The questions we have to answer here are difficult, but not that complicated. First question: Does German freedom of panorama apply? If yes, we keep the pictures. Second question: If the answer to the first question is no and German FoP doesn't apply, is this building above the threshold of originality (TOO)? If no, we keep the pictures, as they then don't need FoP. Now, Chaddy and Ralf who argue for keeping the pictures both argue with the TOO. They don't argue that FoP applies, so I assume thet they concur with the assumption that FoP isn't applicable for aerial/drone photography in Germany. So, I'd say that the state of this discussion is: No FoP, but maybe (I think otherwise) not meeting TOO. Gestumblindi (talk) 19:19, 8 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yes, they are difficult, and complicated. Because TOO is meaningless guesswork (how the crap do I know if this stadium is “artistic”?) and German FoP law only applies to, basically, one very specific situation (street-level photography of permanent installations in completely unrestricted public areas). So yes, I’d say that the stadium is above TOO because it’s not some mass-produced, purely utilitarian industrial building and also that FoP obviously doesn’t apply Dronebogus (talk) 06:24, 9 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Delete First I wouldn't use internet archive as the definitive source. We don't need to check the copyright of the actual short, because this short is from 1956. Humphrey the Bear, the character depicted in the title card, is originally from a . This work would be considered a derivative of that original 1950 work, and Wikimedia does not allow characters who have their original publication still under copyright to be featured in later works. See this deletion request over Wackiki Wabbit for more info. Here is a summary of the argument against this.
"One instructive case was Warner Bros. vs Avela, which was a case about some Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind, and Tom and Jerry cartoon promotional material. The court ruled the publicity material itself public domain due to lack of notice, however the characters created by the movie/cartoons existed from the date of publication, and any publicity material containing copyrighted aspects of those characters afterwards were derivative works and thus an infringement. Any publicity material published before the film/cartoon itself was published could not be derivative of the characters, and was therefore OK."
See also Stewart v. Abend.

Additionally, I would add that at a cursory glance, the short does not appear to have received a proper registration or renewal by Disney. So yes the short itself is public domain. I found 2 cards related to it from 1955, both for music for a man named Oliver Wallace.
But as a derivative this work is still infringement. The 1950 short is public domain in 2046, so this image should be Undeleted in 2046. MonkeyBBGB (talk) 21:57, 3 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Malacca flag as shown in the Cantino Planisphere (1512).png[edit]

The creation of this map was not based on any reference. The creator saw the Cantino Planisphere and made his own interpretation about the map. As noted by user:Abrahhcadabrahh on en:Malacca Sultanate page: The flag is used by the Portuguese mapper to denote a Muslim kingdom. On the map, several other Muslim kingdoms used the same flag (some together with the blue flag with a yellow crescent) with different shapes. There are also several red-edged blue flags, which denote a Portuguese settlement. The St. George flags are used for Christian countries (and also England) and the Scottish flag is accurately shown w/o the blue. There is also the flag of Castille (Spain). Others are duplicates Surijeal (talk) 01:22, 6 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Reviewed.
The website said nothing about the disputed image. It mentioned Johor Sultanate banners (not the national or official flag of Johor). It also says "there are records about the use of red flags and the crescent moon symbol by the government" but did not use historical or peer-reviewed journals or at least books with clear historiography. Sulalatus Salatin is a semi-historical work written after Johor's golden age ca. 1670, it is okay to reflect the situation of the Johore Sultanate using that book, but it should not be taken at face value regarding the information about the previous kingdoms such as Malacca UNLESS there is a primary source backing up the claim. As such, we need sources from the supposed era (for example from inscriptions or letters to foreign kingdoms) or at least close to the supposed era (for example Portuguese writings such as Suma Oriental which is written not far from the era of Malacca Sultanate).
The problem we have here is that the creator of this file believed that the flag shown in the Cantino Planisphere was THE REAL Malacca flag, which is not indicated anywhere on the government website. Unless there is a historical or peer-reviewed journal that backed the claim, I agree with the deletion: This file is a personal interpretation without any historical basis. Verosaurus (talk) 07:02, 9 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
This flag is just a generic representation of an Islamic state since all the Islamic states in the map are similar (only difference being the shape of the flags), so it cannot be given as a Malaccan flag. Hzh (talk) 08:10, 18 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Keep: You are misinterpreting the Constitution and laws of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
  • As I stated in the file under "Permission": "The National Anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as the official national anthem of the country, does not claim copyright in the sense that it would be available for commercial use or reproduction without permission. It can be considered a public good and can be used in certain situations as free use." and "Typically, national anthems are used solely for official purposes and are not subject to the same copyright rules as commercial or artistic content. However, its use for commercial purposes, such as sale or commercial reproduction, usually requires appropriate permission or approval from the relevant authorities or authors." are the correct interpretation of the Constitution and Laws of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
  • Dušan Šestić is the author (composer) of the work, but he has no copyright over that work. As stated in THIS DECISION of the Office of the High Representative (OHR) dated June 25, 1999, Article 4: "The copyright of the national anthem is retained by Bosnia and Herzegovina." So, he is the person who made the national anthem, but the owner of the work is Bosnia and Herzegovina.
  • Also in the same OHR decision, Article 1 clearly states "This law establishes the National Anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina (hereinafter: the anthem) and determines its use as a symbol of the State." This means that this is considered a symbol of Bosnia and Herzegovina, just like the FLAG, COAT OF ARMS and any other symbols, which are free to use by Wikipedia rules and laws of the country. If you delete this file, delete the flag, coat of arms and other symbols of the country because they fall under the same category BY LAW.

    The copyright the photographer of the postcard had, might be expired. The copyright of the piece of art doesn't expire quicker just because it is visible on a postcard. According to this page on the official website of the municipality where this monument is standing, the artist is Mario Sarto (1885-1955). So these files should be removed and on January 1st 2026 they can be restored. - Robotje (talk) 13:44, 7 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
At least the way I see this is that the estate of the architect would have to sue the postcard publisher or original photographer for copyright infringement, which clearly isn't going to happen due to how old the postcard is. But it's free of copyright in the United States since it was published before 1922 and that's really the only thing that matters since we don't ultimately who published and photographed it or where it was published to begin with. If it was published outside of Italy then there's no grounds to delete it. I don't think it would set a good precedent if every historical photograph or image of a postcard of "X monument in Y country" was deleted simply because we assume it was originally published in said country regardless of the evidence. There's plenty of postcards of objects in the United States that would be copyrighted if they were published there, but they were published in Canada and Visa versa. Same goes for ones published in Europe. So it's not as simple as saying "well, this monument is in Italy and it's copyrighted" so this postcard of it from 1905 must be to. There's obviously more to the equation then that. Like what country the product was actually published in, if the photograph had been published in the country of origin before that, was the photographer a citizen of the country where they took the image or not, Etc.

File:Greg Gianforte, jail booking mugshot photograph.jpg[edit]

While some works of state and local governments in the United States are public domain, most states do not release their works to the public domain. One such state that does not grant their works to the public domain, Montana, is the state whose county sheriff's office creatd this work. I am likewise unable to find any broad waiver of copyright on the website of the sherrif's department. The custom license makes reference to this being a "public record", but (as established in County of Suffolk v. First Am. Real Estate) that a work is a "public record" does not automatically grant it to the public domain. And, in fact, Montana's public records law only states that of every person has a right to examine and obtain a copy of any public information of this state with exceptions that certain records not be released. This is not sufficient (compare New York's law, which likewise requires that state and local governments make available for public inspection and copying all records except in a handful of special cases, and was deemed to not be a waiver of copyright). As such, in light of COM:PRP, this file should be deleted for lacking evidence of a suitable free license from the copyright holder. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 03:24, 8 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I object to deletion of this photo. I helped develop this article to GA status, and the photo was a part of the article at the time of its GA review, and it helps tell the story of a part of his political career. Even if this public mugshot photo wasn’t a government-created public record, it is unlikely that this mugshot photo would be ruled to be sufficiently creative to quality for copyright protection under United States federal law. It's a simple headshot photo of Gianforte standing in front of a cinderblock wall at a county detention center or jail.

Files in Category:Transfiguration Cathedral, Donetsk[edit]

In most countries, all paintings, sculpture, architecture, text, and other creative works have copyrights which last for 70 years after the death of the creator. An image of a work that is still under copyright is a derivative work, and infringes on the copyright so that we cannot usually keep the image on Commons. In some countries, there is a special exception to the copyright law which allows such images under certain circumstances. We call that exception freedom of panorama (FOP). Unfortunately there is no applicable FOP exception in Ukraine.

A version of this photo appears in Photographic Album of Old Dhaka (আলোকচিত্রে সেকালের ঢাকা) (page 35) published by the Bangladesh National Museum. There's no information about the photographer (as is the case with most of the images in the book), but the caption confirms the photo is from the 1880s. The back cover of the book notes that originals of all but four of the images in it are held by the museum, which received most of them in 1991 to help preserve them. The introduction doesn't state anything about these photos being seen for the first time. It notes that many of them belonged to the time of Nawab Salimullah (d. 1915) and Nawab Ahsanullah (d. 1901), both of whom were avid photographers. This review talks a little more about the history of the photos in the book. The first edition of that book was published in 2003, but given that there are multiple versions of the image found online with different resolutions and tones from what's in the book, it seems unlikely that it was first published only 20 years ago. {{PD-Bangladesh}} should apply. —Tcr25 (talk) 20:41, 8 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • If the uploader can show that the website got permission to republish the post-1973 images from the creators, they can submit a VRT. We accept "no known restrictions" licenses from reliable sources, for instance Flickr Commons uses the license from member archives. If the artist released the original artwork under a creative commons license, the website can file a VRT and they can stay. Someone writing in Spanish should use the "contact" button on the website, and clarify the status of post-1973 images and the original caricatures. I have contacted the uploaders and they have not responded, and I have written the Flickr account and they have not responded.

File:Tsukino Mito.png[edit]

The image seems not to be covered by the stated license. The file page claims that the author is ヨメミ V-AR チューバー -萌実- ("Moemi & Yomemi Channel" when seen from the English language interface). I don't think that is true because different copyright holders are involved in the video. From what I can see, the Moemi & Yomemi YouTube channel has the copyright the eponymous characters, but has no authority to release the character artwork of Tsukino Mito. They merely hosted and published a show with the latter character appearing as a guest. It's reasonable to assume there is agreement between them to allow that, but we don't know if a third party can use the depiction under a free license.

Photos interiors Noorderhaven 5 and 7, Groningen, the Netherlands, for RCE-2023-09[edit]

Mass deletion request for 55 (=12 + 43) images from 2 Categories:

From Category:Noorderhaven_5_(Groningen) : 12 interior photos to be deleted

From Category:Noorderhaven_7_(Groningen) : 43 interior photos to be deleted

Files were uploaded bij User:BotMultichillT.
Reasons for deletion request

  • Background
    • Urgent request to undersigned for deletion from large image donor Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands (RCE, Amersfoort, the Netherlands, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rijksdienst_voor_het_Cultureel_Erfgoed )
    • RCE was threatened legally by the present owner of the property depicted on the listed 55 interior photographs to remove these images from their own online public image database, and to remove online donated copies thereof on Wikimedia Commons. RCE mailed me as their former Wikimedian in Residence, and has indeed removed the original 55 images from their online public database.
  • So reasons for deletion:
  1. Courtesy deletion for image donor RCE under legal threat, and
  2. Privacy deletion for the present owner of the depicted interiors, also for risk of burglary etc.

NEW INFORMATION ADDED BELOW, Hansmuller (talk) 07:55, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Question Are any of these photos COM:INUSE? I'm not going to look at all of them to determine that. If any are in use, they cannot be deleted. Otherwise, we could consider a courtesy deletion request, and I wouldn't automatically oppose that, but I don't see how the decision we make is relevant to legal threats against another party. If we keep the images, they nevertheless did due diligence by requesting deletion. As for the attitude of a new owner of the property who didn't own it when the photos were taken, how is that of any relevance? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:29, 9 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Of course they can be deleted if they happen to be in use, but i didn't find an example of usage. This seems to be irrelevant to the case of courtesy and privacy deletions, right? We are dealing with RCE, not directly with an owner, who however indeed has privacy rights. RCE is the original copyright owner. So Ikan Kekek prefers at the minimum a courtesy deletion, Hansmuller (talk) 22:30, 10 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I don't prefer a courtesy deletion: I said I wouldn't automatically oppose it, but i definitely would if any photos were in use. But I don't see how the current owner of a historic house has privacy rights over these photos, and I also don't like the idea of letting real-world threats to a third party that seem illegitimate drive decisions here. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:22, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Ikan Kekek Thanks for your reaction. Isn't it reasonable that an owner can exercise privacy rights over interior depiction of property? The copyright of the photo is with RCE, we should respect their policy decisions including a rare request for a few deletions, especially when they have been generous with their enormous donations. Thank you, Hansmuller (talk) 06:30, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Keep don't give in to the threat of frivolous lawsuits. All the images show the interior during renovation, how is that increasing the risk of a break in? Also @Wutsje: might know the local situation and might feel like writing an article about these two houses that used to be one (Streisand effect). Multichill (talk) 10:41, 9 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
This is a serious matter not to be treated recklessly. We don't give in to frivolous lawsuits, as the Wikimedia Foundation is not indicted at all. We have to respond to RCE. A courtesy deletion should be wise here, on a total donation of hundreds of thousands of images transferred by your excellent BotMultichillT. We are not in a position to judge the pros and cons of the publication by RCE in view of their conservation of cultural heritage in collaboration with private owners. The credibility of Wikimedia Commons as a recipient of donations is jeopardised if we don't delete in response to a serious request. It would be really bad policy and the end of our large acquisitions, you will agree with that. Hansmuller (talk) 22:30, 10 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • I'm a tad confused.. and worried about impact. What does the current building owner have for type of claim over these pretty old images (1990 [33 years ago] and 2007 [16 years ago]) ? Why is RCE NOT letting this go to court ? As a courtesy ? Why, their responsibility is with the monuments, not the occupants feelings. Before they know it all current occupants of monuments start requesting deletion of interior images. It seems like a dangerous precedent to set..... Can we never show monumental interiors that have current occupants going forward ? —TheDJ (talkcontribs) 10:55, 9 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
This is not a precedent: it is the other way around. Over the past ten year, a few hunderd images out on hundreds of thousands of RCE donated images have been deleted at their request in three cases by User:BasvB. Of course RCE knows better than we what is their responsibility - and when to go court or not! They wouldn't ask us if they could avoid it, these are sensitive policy matters. The impact of NOT deleting is the problem, losing the trust of a large donor. So we again should follow this important donor in its own policies, as it has itself removed the images first from its own public database. Hansmuller (talk) 22:30, 10 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@TheDJ Can you support courtesy deletion? Thanks, Hansmuller (talk) 07:03, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
In that case, that means we shouldn’t trust large parts of the entire collection of RCE. We are legally telling people they can reuse these images in any way, but apparently there is a pattern where the RCE has not properly taking care of tracking which interior ahots have permission of publication ? —TheDJ (talkcontribs) 06:52, 12 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

NEW INFORMATION
@Ikan Kekek @Multichill @TheDJ : In a phonecall RCE informed me, that these images were erroneously put publically online and donated to Wikimedia Commons by them. The owner was promised non-disclosure, so has good reason to protest. Hansmuller (talk) 07:53, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

They were put online 10 years ago. When did the new owner purchase the property? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:45, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Were these images actually actively donated/uploaded by RCE to Commons, or harvested from their own image repo by MultiChillBotT on MulitChill's own initiative? If I understand it correctly, the images have been 'erroneously' online on the RCE site under a CC license for 10 years, until they were recently deleted by the request of the new owner? That's a pretty long time during which the error on their own site could have been corrected by RCE and adapt the license to disallow Wiki-reuse.
An interesting legal question: to what extent do public photos of interiors of Dutch national monuments affect the privacy of its (transient, private) owners. I assume that the buyer of a national monument is aware that owning such building does bring a certain level of publicness/openness, including images in public databases.
At these same time I can understand the position of the RCE and the concerns regarding any future donations by them (and the related trust issues) that Hansmuller is raising. OlafJanssen (talk) 12:04, 12 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I still see many of the listed images on the own site of the RCE... and still with the CC-BY license... example.. OlafJanssen (talk) 12:11, 12 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Keep I'd love to see this go to court considering the images are from the previous owner and are still being listed on RCE's own website. I find it hard to believe that the owner of a property has any say in what the former owner does with images of the building that were taken during their occupancy of the building. Like there's no way that if I took a shot of the inside of my apartment that a new tenant could me on privacy grounds if I uploaded said images to the internet. Especially if it was done before they even moved in, but probably not afterword either. Anyway, the law suite aside, I don't think it's worth deleting images just because a donor ask's us to. That just seems like extortion. What's next, people who donate to the WMF asking us to delete unflattering images of their family members as a "curtesy"? Come on. A lot of these images are good quality and clearly serve an educational purpose. One option though might be stripping them of any identifying information. It's not like the images have to be connected to specific addresses. Really, they probably shouldn't be anyway. So I say think just stripping the addresses from the descriptions is a good compromise between doing nothing or outright deletion. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:30, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Dear Adamant1,
    There is confusion - see the NEW INFORMATION above:
    • RCE had promised non-disclosure of these photographs to the owner
    • RCE made a mistake letting them be uploaded all the same, unknowingly breaking its promise
    • I requested a courtesy deletion to correct the mistake made by RCE.
    • The images have in January been removed from RCE's own public website, they said. Perhaps they are mistaken there...
    • It seems you didn't consider the latest information.
    • It is important for the donor those images are removed.
    • Keeping the images here is damaging to Dutch cultural policy, their interest is larger dan Wikimedia's
    • So it would be unfair and unreasonable to foolhardy keep them.
    Please reconsider your decision, now with all the information. Thank you, Hansmuller (talk) 08:22, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Sorry, but I read everything. I just disagree that the images should be deleted based on the preferences of the new owners of the property ten years later. Especially considering like OlafJanssen pointed out the images haven't been deleted from RCE's own website. It's ridiculous to request we remove images that they are still hosting on their own site. Not that I'd support the images being deleted if they were removed from RCE's site, but still. We can't bend to random requests like this anyway. Censoring images just because a random donor requested it 10 after the fact just sets a bad precedent. Sorry. I don't think you understand or care about the precedent something like this going through would set when it comes to people wanting images they donate deleted. The project would be totally worthless if everyone could request deletion of their uploads at a whim multiple years after they uploaded the images. That's on the donors and the RCE to begin with for not being fully educated on how Commons and CC-BY licensing works. Even if we were to delete the images CC-BY licenses are irrevocable. So it wouldn't matter since someone could just re-upload the images or share them somewhere else. As a side to that, I still think the best (and really the only) option here is to delete the identifying information from the descriptions. That should more then adequate if this is really about privacy. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:46, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Adamant1 - I agree that RCE should neatly remove images from their own database FIRST before they request us to do so!! (I'm sorry, i thought you were the concluding admin :-)) But then it is customary practice to fairly grant a rare good faith Courtesy Deletion, if RCE made a honest mistake, it is as simple as that. We do not wish to complicate conservation policy of monuments and its credibility anywhere. Thanks, Hansmuller (talk) 09:10, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Originally tagged speedy by Silent Wind of Doom with the rationale: "Images of sports uniforms have been ruled fair use as per this discussion."

The images appear to be original works, but derivative of the actual uniforms worn by the players. Some of these uniform designs appear to consist solely of common property shapes (regular clothing and simple geometry), colors, and text. Others may have more complicated designs and should be considered for deletion.

Guanaco (talk) 09:08, 19 April 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Huh. Deletion requests look so different on Commons than the main site.
I was notified about a discussion happening there about my uniform images. A recent (at the time) U.S. Supreme Court decision, namely on the case Star Athletica v. Varsity Brands, the design elements of a uniform are subject to copyright. As such, the designs of these uniforms are under copyright by their teams, their leagues, and the various manufacturers, whether it be Majestic, Reebok, or New Era.
The discussion came to the consensus of properly licensing uniform images as non-free sports uniforms with rationale and to remove them from Commons. As someone disrupted the ordered file names for the uniforms, and to be more precise, I reuploaded the files under new names, properly licensed them, and tagged the Commons images for deletion as per the discussion ruling them non-free. The ones that weren't moved have already been speedy deleted under request of creator. --Silent Wind of Doom (talk) 21:47, 19 April 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Silent Wind of Doom: The decision about Commons images has to be made on Commons, as this wiki is autonomous. It may be more expedient to standardize and host local copies on English Wikipedia as fair use. However on Commons, we should follow the Supreme Court's ruling and apply the test to each image: "[A] feature incorporated into the design of a useful article is eligible for copyright protection only if the feature (1) can be perceived as a two- or three-dimensional work of art separate from the useful article and (2) would qualify as a protectable pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work—either on its own or fixed in some other tangible medium of expression—if it were imagined separately from the useful article into which it is incorporated." The court did not address whether they met the threshold of originality, so we can evaluate these in the manner of simple vs. complex logos. Guanaco (talk) 04:40, 20 April 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • User:Silent Wind of Doom, you seem to misunderstand how copyright works. For a picture of a uniform, there are two copyrights:
    1. The copyright of the design of the uniform. However, per COM:TOO, some minimal originality is required, and if the design is too simple, then the design is not protected by copyright and so pictures of those designs can be posted to Commons and shouldn't be listed as unfree on English Wikipedia. The designs listed in this deletion request look very simple, although it could be debated that a few of them maybe are sufficiently complex.
    2. The copyright of the picture itself. The person who makes a drawing of a uniform needs to choose a free licence for his contribution to the image.

  •  Keep Aren't we past the courtesy takedown period, at this point we have to rely on copyright and FOP laws. I see nothing that would violate privacy, I see images of floor tiles and stairs, and walls. I think the church should file an official takedown notice and explain why these images should be hidden from view. That way we have the name of an official from the church, and not possibly some random parishioner complaining about privacy, that does not represent the view of church council. I would assume most churches would want a visual inventory of their interiors in case of theft, vandalism, or catastrophic destruction. --RAN (talk) 12:38, 13 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Delete I also attended to this event and I have heard about the conversation with the Father responsable for the church. He was emphatic about not publishing the photos of the interior of the church. Here is the thing: the Father contacted us with this request after the photowalk; in the meantime, some pictures were uploaded. Moreover, as much as I know about the scenario of cultural heritage in Brazil (I have studied the issue for more than 10 years now), most churches in rural areas do not disseminate their interiors and their collections because these buildings are settled in the middle of nowhere and have no security systems neither watchmen. The cases of robbery, fire and other vandalism are too many in Brazil. We must avoid wikis to be the reason for other losses... Sintegrity (talk) 01:13, 14 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Too ugly - Online Bullying Concept.png[edit]

The emojis may be copyrighted Kelly The Angel (talk) 11:41, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This is something I generated with Midjourney. I further edited the image in my Canva account and the emojis included are from their elements. According to Canva's section on content licences and commercial use, I'd be free to use their materials for commercial purposes, so I figured a non-commercial purpose would be just as fine. If an ultimate decision-maker here disagrees with my interpretation, OK. I'm just responding! Canva also say if you’re the creator of an original design, you’re also its copyright holder. But if you used third-party content (e.g. stock media from the Canva library) in your design, your ownership is subject to those third-party rights," but again, I am not claiming ownership, this Wiki image is released as a public domain design. GH Images (talk) 13:53, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I think the issue here would lie in the emoji. Canva states that your work is subject to 3rd party rights. You are releasing your work as public domain, because you are the copyright holder. Under Canva's license agreement, which the emojis in this image are subject to, they state that you are not allowed to "remove any notice of copyright, trade-mark or other proprietary right from any Content or Canva Design". These emojis seem to violate that part of the agreement since you are releasing the entire work under a CC0 waiver. The options are to return to Canva and find other emojis under a CC0 waiver that they have already put into the system, or to try out another source like OpenMoji which is a CC-BY-SA-4.0 license. This would limit you to sharing it under the same terms. But would still allow you to openly share them.
But in this case I believe this image has to be deleted.  Delete MonkeyBBGB (talk) 18:47, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Mehediabedin The photo is dated 7 March 1971. Bangladesh was fully liberated on 16 December 1971. Its declaration of independence was on 26 March 1971. Other countries began to recognize Bangladesh in December 1971, with Bhutan and India being the first to recognize Bangladesh on 6 December. So PD-Pakistan clearly does apply on 7 March 1971. This photo is from his speech on 7 March 1971, which was in the final days of a united Pakistan. Solomon The Magnifico (talk) 08:57, 13 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Keep Please close this nomination because the date falls within the period of a united Pakistan (and hence falls under PD-Pakistan), when East and West Pakistan were together. The photo is from 7 March 1971, which was in the final days of a united Pakistan. 7 March 1971 is considered a Pakistani period by both Pakistan and Bangladesh. Moreover, Bangladesh became effectively independent on 16 December 1971 after Pakistan surrendered.--Solomon The Magnifico (talk) 08:59, 13 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    You don't understand the point. The timeline doesn't matter here. The matter is the current country. The copyright law of the current country will apply here. Mehedi Abedin 12:44, 13 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    And we have examples for this. See here and here. Even I uploaded historical photos without knowing that and for this some of my uploaded photos removed from Commons. That's how it works. Mehedi Abedin 12:47, 13 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    You are basically claiming that Bangladesh was never part of Pakistan. Your nomination is politically-motivated as usual. Bangladeshi law does not apply retrospectively. Its called the non-retroactivity principle. Mehediabedin is not a legal or historical expert by any means. Under the Bangladesh Copyright Act, this photograph will not fall under such a category because it's not an artistic work depicting a painting or cinema. Its a simple photograph which was taken pre-Bangladesh and its copyright has expired. Solomon The Magnifico (talk) 13:33, 13 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Well, let me clear things:
    • Am I basically claiming that Bangladesh was never part of Pakistan? - No, we are talking about copyright law and its implementation in commons, not history. I can see it is you who trying to make the nomination the topic of controversy to distract from the nomination process.
    • Your nomination is politically-motivated as usual. - An unjust accusation or so called "claim" without valid reason. Remember that not all Bangladeshi photographs under PD-Pakistan wasn’t nominated for deletion by me. There were many users who knows the fact that photos from Pakistan period is under PD-Bangladesh. And they nominated many of these photos for deletion.
    • Bangladeshi law does not apply retrospectively. Its called the non-retroactivity principle. Mehediabedin is not a legal or historical expert by any means. - Well tell that to administrators who deleted many Bangladeshi photographs licensed under PD-Pakistan. I am not expert, but they did the work and that's how Wikimedia commons work.
    • Under the Bangladesh Copyright Act, this photograph will not fall under such a category because it's not an artistic work depicting a painting or cinema. - Well that was only an example. There I provided another example where the photo was deleted. And we can find many examples.
    • Its a simple photograph which was taken pre-Bangladesh and its copyright has expired. - And again you didn't understand the point. The photo was taken in East Pakistan which is now Bangladesh. And that's why copyright of Bangladesh will be applicable here.
    There is a possibility that after clearing this point you will not still understand and make bassless accusations against me like that time you made in English Wikipedia. But still okay for me. Mehedi Abedin 13:52, 13 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    I am sure you understand that Wikimedia policy relies on local law. Bangladeshi law will not apply retrospectively to this photograph because this is not an artistic work or cinematic work. Under the Bangladesh Copyright Act 2000, copyright will extend to artistic and cinematic work only. In this case, this is a non-artistic, non-cinematic photograph on 7 March 1971 which falls under PD-Pakistan. Solomon The Magnifico (talk) 14:25, 13 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    We are not talking about cinematic work. We are talking about a photograph which falls under Bangladeshi law. See here to see how the copyright law apply for the photo. And unfortunately it doesn't fall under PD-Pakistan. And for the same reason many non-fictional works under PD-Pakistan were removed from commons. For another example, see this ongoing deletion nomination (not nominated by me). And there are many examples where photos were removed. Mehedi Abedin 06:25, 14 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Keep the license reads: "collective audiovisual or photographic work", I think people are reading it as: "collective audiovisual or collective photographic work". I have never heard of a "collective photographic work", one person chooses when to press the shutter button, and that person is the creator. I have never seen a copyright jurisdiction declare a single photographic image as a collective work. But I have seen "collective audiovisual" works, where a photomontage has a dozen images, each from a different photographer. We use photomontages here in the WikiUniverse, and we require that each creator be acknowledged. See:Category:Montages --RAN (talk) 19:17, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • We don't need a proof of publication. As mentioned before, photographic works get into public domain 50 years after publication or creation, whatever date is the latest.

  • Every image prior to an exif date and gps stamp has information estimated from clues in the images, we have half a dozen images of him at various dates including his wedding. In the image he appears about age 30. I am not seeing any significant evidence presented that the age estimate is wrong. Perhaps if you presented a reliable source dating the image differently, it could supersede our own estimate. For instance if the image came from his passport, we would have an exact date. --RAN (talk) 01:17, 18 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  This is really complicated. First, the date. The image is dated to the end of the 1930s on several web sites, for example "Kenning a fines de los años treinta" here, so 1939 would be the year to base any calculations on.

As for Bolivia's copyright law, I looked at the original text in Spanish, and it appears that the English translation is somewhat confusing or even misleading, at least it is missing a comma. Per article 19 of the law, the 50 year term from publication/creation is valid for "las obras colectivas, audiovisuales y fotográficas, los fonogramas, los programas de radiodifusión y los programas de ordenador o computación" (collective works, audiovisual works, photographic works, phonograms, broadcasting programs and computer or computing programs). So there is this 50 year term for any photographic works, regardless of author. How that plays out in this case depends on the date of first publication. If in1939 (or not before 1990), the photo would be in the PD in Bolivia, and the URAA would not have restored its US copyright. If first published at a later date (before 1990), URAA restoration might have taken place, or it might even still be protected in Bolivia. We don't know the photograph's publication history, and we also don't really know what is considered "publication" in Bolivia besides the obvious ways of printed books / newspapers etc.

To make matters even more confusing, Bolivia is a member of the Andean Community, which has a common copyright jurisdiction. Per Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Andean Community#Threshold of originality, the Andean Court ruled that "A simple photograph that does not meet the requirement of originality cannot be considered a photographic work and is consequently not protected by copyright." The case was about Peru I think, but it should be applicable to Bolivia as well. So simple photographs (as opposed to photographic works) are not protected by copyright. COM:TOO Andean Community notes that "An example of simple photographs is a simple portrait or taken in automatic booths." Is this a simple portrait as interpreted by courts in the Andean Community? I cannot really tell, I'd need examples to compare this with.

Since there are clearly (too) many unknowns here, we should probably go with {{PD-old-assumed}} and wait until 2060 unless we can find out more facts that enable us to come to another decision. --Rosenzweig τ 07:03, 18 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • I'd tend to vote delete and agree with QuickQuokka – as far as I can see there is no difference in file-quality between those two images. I don't know why the latter has such a large file-size, maybe that's just jpg compression (I'd also like to know if people do scans for files hidden in images via steganography which can be done easily). Additional files for another filetype should be avoided (e.g. because it can clutter pages and duplicates things etc), instead it would be better if any higher-quality image was uploaded as a new version at the original upload with an exception being tif and xfc files.
  • However, when you switch back and forth between tabs showing these two images you can see how the png version has implemented some blurring smoothing effect. Hence, it may be worth keeping both images in this case (at least as long such a smoothing effect can't be autorendered like the smaller "Other resolutions".) The file-size still seems too large.

PNG and JPEG formats do not work in the same way. Mediawiki applies a sharpening effect to JPEG files, but not to PNG ones. I have no special opinion about keeping or deleting this version, but we shouldn't create a redirect. Yann (talk) 08:06, 13 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Yann: But MediaWiki bases this based on the MIME type right? (If it doesn't, it probably should)

This redirect (File:Théâtre D’opéra Spatial.txt) ends in .txt, but it's still rendered as a JPEG.

@Yann: Even if the file ends in .png, it will render as a JPEG if the MIME type is image/jpeg (or at least it should). File extensions don't actually mean anything for the most part, just human readability. You could rename the file to Théâtre D’opéra Spatial.txt, and it's still a JPEG regardless.

  • Keep One major difference between PNG and JPEG is that JPEG is a lossy format. For Commons' purposes, it's preferable to also have a PNG version for archival purposes, such as having a lossless source to base edits off of (editing a JPEG multiple times can lead to generational loss as each revision loses more data). For things like photographs, a JPEG alternative can also be useful for display purposes, since, as mentioned, the MediaWiki thumbnailer applies sharpening to these. I don't know the provenance of these two variants under discussion, so don't know if the PNG comes from somewhere official or was converted from a lossy source, but the uploader of the PNG notes: "this one is slightly less sharp but the other has what might be sharpening mask artifacts", so there is a subtle difference between the two and JPEG compression artifacts, if present, would be considered a defect.

This file was initially tagged by Someoneinsomeplace as Copyvio (copyvio) and the most recent rationale was: I'm aware of meta:Wikilegal/Copyright in Zoom Images but inclusion of a propietary browser interface makes it a copyvio per COM:SCREENSHOT

 Keep. This is presumably Google Chrome, but even if we disregard COM:DM and COM:TOO it's visually indistinguishable from the open-source w:Chromium (web browser). Only remaining copyrighted element are the icons in the bookmarks bar which is surely COM:DM. Omphalographer (talk) 00:53, 13 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
COM:SCREENSHOTS says: "Google Chrome itself is non-free because its official binaries are subject to a non-free Google Chrome Terms of Service which overrides the open source terms of its base source code"
Yes, icons could be COM:DM but I don't think you can say that for the browser interface itself when the majority of the image is the screenshot of the browser, which is the case for these images.
Also, this one is Edge: File:WikiLatih_Daring_Umum_III.jpg
This one is Safari (plus screenshot of the OS): File:2020 Vikisalı Toplantısı.jpg
These would not be COM:DM, when it's entirely a browser screenshot (plus OS): File:Temu Daring Wikipediawan Keempat.jpg File:Rapat bulan April 2021 Komunitas Wikimedia Bandung.jpg File:Koordinasi dengan Pak Yahya.png Someoneinsomeplace (talk) 01:42, 13 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
COM:SCREENSHOTS is wrong on this matter. There is no element of the Chrome user interface, as visible on screen, which was not released under an open-source license. The fact that some non-visible parts of the software (like the Widevine video plugin) might be non-free has no bearing on the license status of the content visible in these images.

@Gråbergs Gråa Sång @Polarlys P.s. Sorry, posted the last message in a wrong place. This photo is taken ca, 1931-1949 in Thailand or Siam. Thank you for the clarification. According to the Copyright Act BE 2537 (1994) of Thailand, the copyright of a creative or artistic work is automatically protected for 50 years after the death of a known author or 50 years after publication in the case of an unknown author. Therefore, if the author of the photo is unknown, the copyright protection would have expired in 1999. However, if the author is known, then the copyright protection would have expired 50 years after their death..

Changed it to Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal License (waiving all rights like public domain, license text)
In Estonia, works created before 1992 are in the public domain if the author died more than 70 years ago, or if the work was published anonymously or pseudonymously and the author died more than 70 years ago. In Latvia, works created before 1945 are in the public domain if the author died more than 50 years ago, or if the work was published anonymously or pseudonymously and the author died more than 50 years ago.
Therefore, if a work was created in Estonia before 1992 or in Latvia before 1945 and meets the aforementioned criteria, it is in the public domain.

This may not be what you hoped, but if you want to edit Commons, you need to adapt to it. And there are plenty of correctly uploaded pictures here with an unknown author, like File:Marlowe-Portrait-1585.jpg. The rules boil down to "Most pictures you happen to find online can't be added to Commons because copyright." But people have their own cameras and PD does apply when it applies. There are also some orgs that make some of their photos available with "ok" cc licenses.
I don't know if Jameslwoodward is correct here, but he's done a heck of a lot more stuff on Commons than I have, so I'll assume his understanding is better than mine. These rules are pretty complex in the details, but it's the world we live in. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 06:16, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Btw, it appears your 2. is a drawing, with an artist signature in the lower right corner. So, assuming your date is right, it's too young, unless it can be showed that the artist died young. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 06:36, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Gråbergs Gråa SångYou are right on this point that it is a drawing: [File:Karl Tõnisson—Karlis Tenisson—Brother Vahindra.jpg]
The artist can not be verified so it is unknown and anon.. Difficult to read the name there. But I can read there 1928.
@Jameslwoodward it is not clear which of the pictures you mean here. Not sure if you are correct here. Is there some other law?
1. [File:Karl Tõnisson—Karlis Tennison—Brother Vahindra.png] Was made 1928.
2. [File:Karl Tõnisson—Karlis Tenisson—Brother Vahindra.jpg] Was made 1928.
3. [File:Friedrich Voldemar Lustig – Ashin Ananda and Karl Tõnisson – Kārlis Tennisons – Vend Vahindra in Thailand.jpg] Was made 1940-49.

Great find.
"Even in this period, Tennison had postcards and possibly also leaflet-like minor publications printed to show off his personality. The best known postcard of Tennison which depicts the “uncovered physique and beauty” of Tennison on 13 photos and a central portrait is held in the Cultural History Archives at the Estonian Literary Museum (see Talts 2003: 1424). The same set of photos is printed on the first page of his book Mina ja minu jüngrid usume nõnda. A postcard with a painted portrait of Tennison (by painter A. Jurich) dated to 1928 can be found in the personal collection of Erik Arro. This postcard has also been printed in Tennison’s book Tulevane Pan-Baltoonia Ilmariik… (Vend Vahindra 1928: 2). Other postcards featuring his portraits from this period and with the same photo caption in content and form are known (one, for example, donated to the autor by Eedo Jõesaar, see Fig. 2)" p 91. https://www.folklore.ee/folklore/vol38/talts.pdf

He passed away in 1945. Which means that copyright ended in 2015:

@Jameslwoodward Border case. Clarification is needed.
It is not quite right to say that copyright in USA is 96 years.
United States copyright: 28 (years) (if copyright not renewed) ?
1. File:Karl Tõnisson—Karlis Tennison—Brother Vahindra.png PD in USA for sure in 2024
2. File:Karl Tõnisson—Karlis Tenisson—Brother Vahindra.jpg PD in USA for sure in 2024.

 Keep "Many countries use such a copyright term of 70 years. A notable exception is the U.S. Due to historical circumstances, the United States has more complex rules:
  • Works published before 1928 are public domain.
  • For works first published before 1964, copyright lasts 28 years after publication, and is therefore currently expired unless the owner filed for renewal during the window between 27 and 28 years after publication." From: Commons:Licensing
Which means:
1.
File:Karl_Tõnisson—Karlis_Tennison—Brother_Vahindra.png
It was created in 1928. It is PD in USA since 1956.
2.
File:Karl_Tõnisson—Karlis_Tenisson—Brother_Vahindra.jpg
It was created in 1928. It is PD in USA since 1956.
3.
File:Friedrich_Voldemar_Lustig_–_Ashin_Ananda_and_Karl_Tõnisson_–_Kārlis_Tennisons_–_Vend_Vahindra_in_Thailand.jpg
It was created in 1940-1949. It is PD in USA since 1977.
Which means they are PD. Seems so.
For sake of clarity: They are all PD in Estonia, Latvia and Thailand. Editorq35 (talk) 04:18, 16 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
No, sorry, you do not understand the US rules. For works which did not have a US copyright before the URAA date, 1/1/1996 in this case, any work created before 1929 that was not PD in the country of origin on the URAA date has a URAA copyright in the US which lasts 95 years and ends on January 1 following the 95th year. So a 1928 work has a URAA copyright in the US until 1/1/2024. A 1940 work has a URAA US copyright until 1/1/2036. .     Jim . . .

@Gråbergs Gråa Sång Pd in Estonia is life + 70 years.Thailand's copyright law has a duration of 50 years.
I would disagree here because the rules here is not clear at all. There is room for interpretation here.
Works created or published on January 1, 1928, or any date before that, are generally considered as having entered the public domain. There is change that this work was created on January 1, 1928. Editorq35 (talk) 04:34, 17 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

"Works created or published on January 1, 1928, or any date before that, are generally considered as having entered the public domain." That is not correct. Works published (not "created or published") before (not "on or before") January 1, 1928 are in the Public Domain in the United States (not everywhere, unless the US is the country of origin). .     Jim . . .

File:Younganscombe.jpg[edit]

The photograph has no real source, and it's almost certainly protected by copyright since it would be a circa-1940s photograph from the UK. This file was transferred from English Wikipedia, where it had been uploaded back in 2008 by the user Clever hans (contribs show inactivity since 2009) under a bare claim that it was "self-made". It's undated, and English Wikipedia's caption given at G. E. M. Anscombe simply notes it depicts her "as a young woman". Anscombe was born in 1919, so without further information it's extremely dubious that the uploader was there to have personally taken this photograph circa the 1940s.

Based on the image's low resolution and tight composition, the image was probably cropped from a bigger photograph, perhaps a group photograph given Anscombe's rightwardly fixed gaze. Unfortunately I couldn't trace any source info, as all the other uses of the photograph I could find on the web via reverse image search engines appeared after its Wikipedia upload and provide no further information.

En cuanto a los otros monaras que presentan una diferente numeración entre Aragón y Cataluña, esto también es incorrecto puesto que Cataluña nunca fue un reino y los monarcas sólo serían condes de Barcelona, que no lleva numeración. Faor Saaken (talk) 11:02, 14 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This image was uploaded by User:Puff41 shortly after they admitted to uploading a similar copyrighted image to English Wikipedia.

The line drawings are highly detailed, but the background appears to have been erased with a selection tool, leaving a lot of residual white areas around the lines.

Any "intellectual property" that is created or managed by a government and placed publicly on the internet becomes public domain, without the need to cite its origin as in this case it is literally something public to the public.
Let's assume that a file or digital information is the domain of the Government/State, then it is in the public domain, as the government is public, there is no government intellectual property, if this existed then it would be impossible for Wikipedia to continue because even a text would be " intellectual property of the Government/State".

I don't think this conversation is focusing on the right topic, this should be more of a Threshold of Originality debate rather than a Government Copyright debate as that is the rationale used by the uploader. Had the video been taken by an officer at the Chester County Prison, then the State of Pennsylvania would have been able to claim copyright on it. However, this is the work of a non-human security camera with no original authorship that a human could claim onto. It is legal prescedent in the United States (Naruto v. Slater) that only works created by human beings would be eligible for copyright. More details about this exact subject (copyright on photographs taken by pre-positioned recording devices) can be found on the relevant Wikipedia page.

@King of Hearts, @LOSBY2, @Omphalographer, The video ends showing the "WRTV ABC" logo. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRTV page. That video may be copyrighted by them, if they obtained permission or paid for the video. That is one potential copyright concern about permission to use the ABC affiliate's video. The other issue is there any license for this video by the Chester County Prison? Otherwise VRT will be needed. -- Ooligan (talk) 17:23, 18 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Obtaining permission, or even paying for a video in most case, doesn't inherently mean a transfer of copyright is done. Most other news outlets who published the video credited the Chester County Prison, not the ABC afilliate. I don't deem any license or VRT to be needed since there was no human author behind the photograph. NAADAAN (talk) 14:13, 24 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Anonymous images entered the public domain in Australia if published prior to 1 January 1955 which, is in itself, prior to 1996. In URAA signatory countries when a work entered the public domain after 1996, the United States restored the copyright to 95 years after publication, with no claw back provision. So if a country has a copyright term of 70 years, that has to expire prior to 1996 to be pd in the USA. --RAN (talk) 00:31, 16 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    • Wrong, a photograph from Australia had to be in the public domain on January 1, 1996 in order to be public domain in the US.

  • This isn't a post mortem (pma) issue: PD="Photographs or other works published anonymously, under a pseudonym or the creator is unknown: taken or published prior to 1 January 1955" 1954 is prior to 1955 and 1955 is prior to 1996. You are applying the post mortem rule (year of death + 50 years + 1) to an anonymous image. You cannot apply the post mortem rule to an anonymous image, and there was no claw back from the public domain in 1996. The US restored copyright to images that enter the public domain after the signing of the agreement. Otherwise every image by a URAA signatory would default to a 1928 publication date in the USA, and we would have to delete a large chunk of Commons. --RAN (talk) 20:10, 8 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The copyright rule is: PD="Photographs or other works published anonymously, under a pseudonym or the creator is unknown: taken or published prior to 1 January 1955". There is no claw back in Australian copyright law. The USA restored copyright in the USA for images that entered the public domain after the signing of the law, not prior to the signing. You are thinking of post mortem rules, that are 50 years after the death of the creator. If those 50 years are after 1996, the United States restored copyrights.

Files in Category:ARA General Belgrano (ship, 1938)[edit]

The image was taken by Martín Sgut (1951-2010) and published simultaneously in the US and Argentina in May 1982. However, the author never consented the publications and sued several newspapers and news agencies in 1984 [21]. Apparently, he won the trial in a New York court and was awarded $20,000 in damages [22]. That means that his copyright was recognized in the US since 1984-1987 (I don't know the exact duration of the trial). The work as indicated in the files is in the public domain in Argentina. (publication + 25 years), but it is still copyrighted in the US (life + 70 years). Notice that the US doesn't apply the shorter term rule. We can undelete these images in 2081.

I'm completely aware of it. {{Not-PD-US-URAA}} can only be used for images uploaded before 1 March 2012. File:ARA Belgrano 1982.PNG, for example, was uploaded in 2014. The template was created to mark old uploads that could potentially have their copyright restored at URAA time. Before that date URAA retored copyrights were ignored, but it changed once the US Supreme Court explicitly acknowledged URAA restoration was constitutional. After that event mass deletion was ruled out, but individual, well formed DR are possible for old files. Our licensing policy still requires files to have a free license or be in the public domain in both its country of origin and the US. In this particular case, I'm arguing that the US gave copyright protection to this image in the 1980s, so it is not even a URAA-related case.

    Good point and not morbid at all. This PR photo was taken sometime in the early to mid 1930s by Renato Toppo. I wish I could say the exact year, but we don't know -- since Clara's official recital debut (Town Hall, NYC) was in October 1934, we assume this was taken just prior to or just after that first concert for PR purposes. As far as I know, Public Domain kicks in after 95 years for work that was copyrighted and renewed so I would guess it will become public domain in the next few years... Tewie2 (talk) 15:37, 16 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Keep This is a professional publicity image and the copyright belonged to the photographer, Ranato Toppo. Archiving historical photos does not transfer the copyright to the archive, nor does it restart the copyright clock. To be eligible for a US copyright the image needed to be registered for a copyright, then have that copyright renewed 28 years later. This was in force up to 1989 with a temporary respite from 1965 to 1977. I cannot find any image of "Clara Rockmore" or anyone named "Rockmore", in either the copyright registration database or the copyright renewal database. The same for any images by Ranato Toppo. The expense would have outweighed any potential gain, that is why it is rare to see individual images copyrighted, even the Associated Press did not register/renew images. 75% of all eligible books did not renew copyrights because copyright holders were no longer alive, or were not aware of their legal obligations, and the works entered the public domain. I could see claiming that an image was never seen by the public, if these were personal family snapshots donated to the archive by the creator. We have several examples of collections that were never made public because we have a provenance from creation to the present time, for example the Bain Collection and others at the Library of Congress. Even if we went by the European Union rules of copyright, the copyright expired because the creator died more than 70 years ago. --RAN (talk) 15:20, 16 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Question @Patafisik The file pages don't include the WLM template. Is the permission valid for the monument and even outside of the event? Ruthven (msg) 14:08, 18 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Delete Per the comments by JWilz12345 and I in the DR that has been linked to by Patafisik. Mainly the Wiki Loves Monuments authorization is non-legally binding in the United States, if even in Italy since the copyright lapses back to the artist after 20 years anyway and this was created in 1988. So it's questionable that MiBAC could give authorization to take the photographs in the first place. Although even if it did, these images where not taken in collaboration with Wiki Loves Monuments or are covered by the authorization. Nor is there any evidence that the authorization extends to every image taken of said building in perpetuity, even if they were taken by people who have nothing to do with Wiki Loves Monuments or the authorization. Otherwise the images would have to be licensed with Italy-MiBAC-disclaimer and taken as part of the Wiki Loves Monuments project, which none of these images qualify under. Random users can't just use the agreement between MiBAC and Wiki Loves Monuments as an excuse to upload otherwise copyrighted images though. It's clearly an agreement between MiBAC and Wiki Loves Monuments for the purposes of the project, not a general license that allows everyone to take pictures of the monuments regardless. --Adamant1 (talk) 01:02, 18 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Comment As usual, Adamant seems to struggle with the landscape of italian institutions, firstly claiming that a (not existent) federal authority should authorize these photos, then requiring that local mayors authorize photos of state's monuments. Here he seems to require an authorization from the national ministry for a monument that is property of the archidiocese of Bologna (Catholic Church). I hope that now he won't start to require an authorization from the Pope. Anyway, as you can see here the owner of the monument authorized its reproduction in 2016 with a license CC-BY-SA 4.0 in perpetuity for WLM initiatives. Unfortunately the authorization in this case does not seem generic enough to cover non-WLM photos. So it should be clarified if the photos were made within a WLM initiative or not.--Friniate (talk) 12:16, 20 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
More just that I don't see an agreement for this photographs by the archidiocese of Bologna or really anyone else. So in absence of that I assume the person who took the photographs would need to go through whatever government authority deals with copyright law in Italy to be able legally photograph the monument. Be that a local mayors office or the federal government, or archidiocese of Bolognabut. I could really care less because it's a mute point either way since, again, there is no permission for these photographs regardless of what institution it is.

 Delete Per article 107 of the it:Codice dei beni culturali e del paesaggio, the Italian ministry (of culture or similar I assume), the regions and "other public territorial bodies" (is a Catholic diocese even a "public territorial body" in Italy?) can authorize reproductions of these monuments etc., but they still need to respect copyright: "1. Il Ministero, le regioni e gli altri enti pubblici territoriali possono consentire la riproduzione nonche' l'uso strumentale e precario dei beni culturali che abbiano in consegna, fatte salve le disposizioni di cui al comma 2 e quelle in materia di diritto d'autore." which translates to "1. The Ministry, regions and other public territorial bodies may allow the reproduction as well as the appropriate and temporary use of cultural property that they have in their custody, subject to the provisions of paragraph 2 and those relating to copyright."

Ok, but if the diocese says that it's the holder of the copyright and gives us an authorization, then it would be ok according to every legislation.

That says nothing about copyrights, just that they have or own several monuments. Owning a work of art does not necessarily mean I also own the copyrights.

File:CHASE 2015.jpg[edit]

There was quite a bit of copying from the journal article at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2012.08.018 on en.wiki. The source article is not released under a compatible license. The images were uploaded by the same person, and are likely from the same journal article. Since they were likely previously published, I think it's prudent to get a VRT ticket for these images. The uploader is not the sole author of the paper, and it's not clear who created the images.

Other images involved are:

Hi Diannaa,
I appreciate you flagging these issues.
All of these images were taken by myself, or in the case of the Gifberg Pass image taken with my camera by a colleague. I created the Chase 2015.jpg, adapting it here from the version that was published in 2012 for simplicity, but according to the Elsevier copyright rules I would still have permission to reuse the original version.
It is important to note that the text and images submitted are from a pre-review version of the article, which I am repost where and as I like. Of course I understand that Wikipedia may have particular rules in this regard, and we must ensure that they are adhered to. I have written to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org to flag and resolve these issues.
Please let me know if you have any further/continuing concerns.

File:Map of Terek oblast (Russian empire) 1862.png[edit]

Эта карта неоднократно выставлялась на удаление и удалялась из вики из-за его явного несоответствия с реальными границами Терской области [25], [26], [27]. Фальшивость данной карты неоднократно доказывалось на форуме и аргументы приведенные в них много раз признавались админами Википедии. Более того данная карта нарушает авторское право Цуциева с чьей книги она была скопирована и изменена. Но этот файл до сих пор висит на сайте. Вернее он заново был добавлен. Просьба к Вам User:Finnrind (или к иному админу) как раннее рассмотревшему данный вопрос еще раз рассмотреть запрос.

This map was repeatedly put up for deletion and removed from the wiki due to its obvious discrepancy with the real borders of the Terek region [28], [29], [30]. The falsity of this map has been repeatedly proven on the forum and the arguments presented in them have been recognized many times by Wikipedia administrators. Moreover, this map violates the copyright of Tsutsiev, from whose book it was copied and modified [31]. But this file is still hanging on the site. Or rather, it was added again. We ask you User:Túrelio, User:Finnrind (or another admin), as the one who previously considered this issue, to consider the request again.(talk) Flandria12 18:44, 16 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Keep: despite the same year (1862), the first map you provided is literally the map where Ingush and Ossetian okrugs don't (yet) exist (Military-Ossetian Okrug ceased to exist in 1862 after which, in the same year, Ingush and Ossetian okrugs emerged as shown in the map), i. e. before their foundation -- Anceran's map is depicting the time when Ingush and Ossetian okrugs were founded!; second map and third map are from 1878, again, Ingush and Ossetian okrugs don't exist (in 1871 they were merged into a single okrug -- the Vladikavkaz okrug) and this doesn't prove your claimed "inaccuracy" of the map. Also, you didn't show how this map violates copyright of Tsutsiev. The map itself is accurate and finds proof in the maps of 1864 and 1869.

There is no freedom of panorama in Monaco. The bust here is apparently the same as or identical to the bust in this article, unveiled in the 20th century (no specific year provided in the article) and authored by sculptor Paul Belmondo who died in 1982. Even if it falls out of copyright in Monaco, this is a sculptural work in a no-FOP country, and so the U.S. copyright rule needs to take into account (95+1 years after publication), so this photo should not be restored until U.S. copyright expires (per compliance to COM:URAA). Earlier undeletion is possible if Monaco introduces unrestricted freedom of panorama similar to Belgium's (not France's). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 23:07, 16 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Files in Category:2004 Tsunami Memorial (Telwatta)[edit]

In most countries, all paintings, sculpture, architecture, text, and other creative works have copyrights which last for 70 years after the death of the creator. An image of a work that is still under copyright is a derivative work, and infringes on the copyright so that we cannot usually keep the image on Commons. In some countries, there is a special exception to the copyright law which allows such images under certain circumstances. We call that exception freedom of panorama (FOP). Unfortunately there is no applicable FOP exception in Sri Lanka.

A1Cafel (talk) 02:38, 17 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello,
The point seems compelling.
If we don’t find any other solution, let it be. I would prefer however that we find copyright owners, and ask them if they would be kind enough to release the original work under appropriate compatible license.
I think that for a memorial like this one, chance are good that permission will be granted, as the goal of such a structure is not to generate revenue stream, and diffusion of photo of the monument in educative projects like Wikimedia ones is completely aligned with the aim of preserving memory.
Has anyone suggestion on how to handle this? Psychoslave (talk) 13:09, 17 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Psychoslave you should ask the copyright holder (typically the sculptor / artist of the work) to grant permission or clearance to the publications of these images of their work under the free / commercial licensing here on Commons. COM:VRTS provides the information / instructions on how to do this. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 19:45, 17 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

User:StellarHalo's remark in the Commons:Featured picture candidates thread about this file was: "As the ESA page indicates, this image was captured by the South Korean satellite KOMPSAT 2 and so, the copyright is shared with the Korea Aerospace Research Institute."

@Ikan Kekek, @SHB2000: On the bottom of the image's ESA page, the copyright info is "© KARI/ESA". Also, both the conditions of use page and the Template:ESA state that Where expressly so stated, images or videos are covered by the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 IGO (CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO) licence, ESA being an Intergovernmental Organisation (IGO), as defined by the CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO licence. Like other images created with KOMPSat or ALOS, this one does not expressly state that it is being released under the CC 3.0 IGO license.

The files are various aerial photographs taken by Makis Theodorou in 2023, which can be verified through watermark and EXIF documentation. Although the uploader claims that there exists a permission from the photographer to freely license under {{Cc-by-sa-3.0,2.5,2.0,1.0}}, merely stating there is a free permission statement from the third-party creator is no longer available per COM:GOF (and clearly the nominated files are not old files before 2007-01-01).

File:Signature of Reverend Thomas Henry Sparshott (1b).svg[edit]

This file was initially tagged by Storye book as Speedy (Speedy) and the most recent rationale was: This is not a true or genuine reproduction of the original signature (compare details of the original jpg, linked below). This svg is misleading, and should not have been created including straight lines where original lines were subtly curved, and looking as if it were written by a modern person with a school felt pen. The original jpg may not be neat and tidy to look at, but it is genuine, and gives some indication of the hand of the writer. This svg version looks more like a fake signature on modern commercial packagaging, Yann (talk) 20:26, 17 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Keep Looks fine to me, I am not sure if the line was meant to be included, or if it was the line to show where to sign. If Storye_book can do a better job, then add their version so we can compare. --RAN (talk) 03:31, 18 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Delete.
    Signature of T.H. Sparshott, taken from the 1911 England Census.
    This image on the right is a greyscale copy, photographed by me. The line is indeed the line to show where to sign. Greyscale is a better way to reproduce this type of signature, because it reveals the variation in pressure.
  • But what really worries me about the svg version is the loss of some of the curves. for example, it misses out the subtle curve at the top of the "r"; that curve is barely visible, but it is what makes it an "r" in debased copperplate. The svg also makes a straight line on the first upstroke of the "p". All lines created in debased copperplate by an experienced writer are curved. This is because the heel of the hand and the knuckle joints of the fingers work like pivots, so that when the fingers move the pen, they describe a partial arc. This is why the svg looks like a forgery.
  • The svg also misses out the thickened element of the initial curl of the letter "T". That is a tiny decorative element, which is what turns the autograph into a signature - because it is a sign that you recognise the autograph by. Also, this is the signature of a 19th and early 20th-century writer, and they all used dip pens or fountain pens in those days - mostly dip pens. The light but sensitive use of the nib pen (which would blot or break if pressed fairly hard and evenly) shows clearly in the jpg photograph, but is completely lost in the svg.
  • What worries me most of all is not the fact that the svg was created, but how it was then used. A tag was put on the jpg, saying that the svg should always be used, but not the jpg - why? And why was it used to replace the more genuine jpg, in the article about the writer? (diff). The reason why I want the svg deleted is to prevent others from replacing the genuine copy of the signature with the fake version, which appears to have been written with a modern felt tip pen, which did not exist in 1911. That article is a historical article, and the greyscale signature is very much a part of that history. The subject of that history, Reverend Sparshott, had a strong personality, emanating passionate invective against Catholics from the pulpit. He was also a missionary in Africa, and the actions of missionaries in that continent are today being questioned. So his personality may be questioned. It is therefore worth supplying a signature which is capable of analysis by an expert, should they wish to do so. So why prevent any expert from doing that by supplying a fake signature in this case?

      • If we don't know who took the picture, then we don't know whether they are public domain. This image was posted the same day on the Facebook page for Gavin Newsome. Was it taken by a staffer for Pelosi, a staffer for Newsome, an employee of the Democratic party (not a government employee at all) or any other person present at the governor's association conference taking place at the time? If the photographer was actually associated with either Pelosi or Newsome, were they a paid employee or were they an unpaid intern? Unpaid interns are not employees and their works are not public domain. Unless we know who took the picture we have no way of knowing whether the image is public domain.
Pelosi (or more likely some intern or low-level staffer) has apparently posted hundreds (thousands?) of images on her twitter account, and there is no guarantee that she understands copyright law, or has thoroughly inspected the nature of the image with regard to it's copyright status. Government websites and social media accounts regularly post content either under fair use, or (like 90% of people on the internet) without regard to copyright whatsoever. Because of that merely appearing in one of these outlets is not sufficient to determine the copyright status of the work. GMGtalk 13:59, 17 September 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Unpaid interns working for Congress should fall under PD-USGov. It's still a work for hire, paid or not, I'm pretty sure -- it is part of duties ordered by the employer. I think my best look at that question is here, where agency law still applies to volunteers. (I think Congress is about to make sure that interns get paid going forward, anyways.) All of these photos are of people visiting Washington, where the Congressional staffers are most likely to be present. People operating official Twitter accounts for senators or representatives should have a reasonably clear idea of copyright. It would make sense that such a photo would be supplied to the visiting California governor (and would be PD-CAGov if taken by his staffers anyways). Yes, it's always theoretically possible that someone else took such a photo, but those do not seem to be reasonable doubts, and the usual assumption by publishing on official government sites is that such works are treated as PD-USGov even if it was not technically that way prior. I would certainly treat elements being published on official Twitter accounts the same thing as being published on their governmental website. If there is a strong indication that a particular photo was taken by someone else, please nominate that one individually. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:35, 17 September 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
As to volunteers, Community for Creative Non-Violence specifically examining copyright, stated that among the reasons Reid was not considered an employee (and retained the copyright to his work) was because the organization did not pay his payroll taxes, provide any benefits, or contribute to unemployment insurance, and in fact, the court simply presumed method of payment as one of the essential determining factors in defining employment (not whether he was paid, but how he was paid).
Regardless, the onus is not on me to provide a strong indication that it was taken by someone else; the onus is on the uploader to demonstrate the content is in the public domain. Whether it was published on this Twitter account simply has no bearing on US copyright law any more than the person depicted does. The only thing US copyright law cares about it who created the work. If someone wants to demonstrate that this image is public domain, then they should email Pelosi's office and ask who the creator was. Otherwise, the only way we keep it is by simply throwing COM:PCP out the window. GMGtalk 16:18, 17 September 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That specific court case says that agency law determines "employee", and Reid was determined to be an independent contractor instead of employee by that definition. Agency law however says that:
(a) an employee is an agent whose principal controls or has the right to control the manner and means of the agent's performance of work, and
(b) the fact that work is performed gratuitously does not relieve a principal of liability.
So it is not the lack of payment that determines employee, but other conditions. The court case primarily said, Reid engages in a skilled occupation; supplied his own tools; worked in Baltimore without daily supervision from Washington; was retained for a relatively short period of time; had absolute freedom to decide when and how long to work in order to meet his deadline; and had total discretion in hiring and paying assistants. In other words, it depends on how much control the employer has over them; it is a distinction between "employee" and "independent contractor". Congressional interns are not independent contractors, as the employer has as much control over their activities as paid employees. Reid was paid, but in the manner of a contractor, not employee.
COM:PCP is for *signficant* doubts, not just theoretical possibilities. These do not qualify, in my opinion. We allow claims of "own work" all the time, even though those are similarly not proven. For a DR, someone needs to supply a significant doubt. Carl Lindberg (talk) 16:40, 17 September 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The significant doubt is that we do not know who the author is and we regularly delete modern works where the author is unknown. Posting on the twitter account merely tells us who the author might be and who might be able to tell us. GMGtalk 16:48, 17 September 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Sorry, just completely disagree. Stuff posted to congressional websites is presumed to be PD-USGov all the time. We do not need to identify the photographer's name in every case. For works where we don't even know the source of initial publication, absolutely unknown authors create significant doubts. Not the case here. Where we do know the place of initial publication, and no author is named, that is then "anonymous" and different laws can apply which we then use. For PD-USGov, the distinction is irrelevant. If it's overwhelmingly likely to be done by a staffer (paid or otherwise), that is generally enough. Carl Lindberg (talk) 16:59, 17 September 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
"Nobody knows who the copyright owner is, so it really doesn’t matter." GMGtalk 17:14, 17 September 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That part of PCP is for a completely different situation than this. Again, that policy is for significant doubts as to copyright status. We don't require the actual employee name on every PD-USGov upload we have -- by your logic we should delete them if we don't. We don't require that "own work" uploads identify who they are -- user accounts are just as anonymous, and the "own work" claim is assumed there. If further information comes up -- such as the existence of an "own work" photo elsewhere on the net (and especially with a differently-named author), or (in this case) the appearance of the photo elsewhere which would indicate it was not PD-USGov, then we nominate then. But we have to make some assumptions on nearly every upload. Stuff like this is far more likely to be OK than an "own work" upload, and at that point it's not worth forcing uploader to come up with unreasonable detail. Carl Lindberg (talk) 17:43, 17 September 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
As a matter of course, yes, content tagged as PD-USGov needs to have sufficient information about authorship to determine that it was the work of a US government employee. Ideally, that is done like this (U.S. Navy photo by Erik Hildebrandt/Released) or this (Image credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA) or this (Air Force Staff Sgt. Jordan Castelan). If you don't have this information then you do not know the copyright status of the work and merely taking it from a government website is not a guarantee of authorship. GMGtalk 18:25, 17 September 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Keep for me. The official Twitter accounts are generally done by staff, i.e. employees of the government. The photos in question above look to be of the type made by staffers. A claim of "Nancy Pelosi" of author is really just claiming it came from her staff, realistically. While it's theoretically possible for these to be photos taken from outside sources, I don't think that rises to a reasonable doubt per COM:PRP at least for the ones above. We would not have any issue if they were published to a .gov website, and I don't see why official Flickr accounts would have a different assumption. If some aspect of the photo makes it more likely it came from a non-USGov source, that could be reason to question the license, but all of the above look to be situations where her staffers would be present.

I second Carl Lindberg's points. These five photos were taken with phones by someone that is most probably the staff. A challenge is possible only if for example it is shown to be (almost) identical to a non-staff person's photo.

@A1Cafel: May you explain what {{PD-India}} has to do with British pictures? --Patrick Rogel (talk) 15:25, 4 November 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
There were a bunch of photographers standing around making photos of that scene. So each different photo can have its own copyright status, depending on where it was first published (probably which company the photographer worked for) and the like. Some of those may have been first published in India (or some other country who had correspondents there taking pictures), and some may have been simultaneously published in many countries. So, we need to track down sources, and unfortunately some of these are all over the net. Many are probably PD today, but some are probably not.
The first one above can be found here, with a credit of "J Gaiger" of the Topical Press Agency, whose archives were bought by Getty. That looks like a raw source version. So, probably first published in the UK, and with a named author it's not PD-UK-unknown meaning we would need to know the death date. That was discussed a decade ago at Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Gandhi Downing Street.jpg and was deleted due to lack of information. Maybe we could find more info now, but it would seem as though Getty would indeed hold the copyright if it still exists, and it's not just a PD picture that Getty is claiming ownership of (which does happen).
The second one, yes it's on Getty here. They claim a source of "Daily Herald Archive/SSPL". There is another copy here with a claimed copyright owner of "Camera Press". It's been on covers of books too. There is an SSPL source here, where they say the source is a gelatin print. So they are likely claiming copyright ownership because they own a print that was distributed in 1931. If anything, they can only claim copyrights on that particular scan, and probably valid in the UK at most (if even there). But, not sure who the source of the original print was. If it was anonymous UK, then it's PD-UK-unknown today. If it was also simultaneously published in the U.S., it would avoid the URAA as well (if not, it would be Not-PD-US-URAA until 2027). Sure feels like most of the world is treating it as PD, but not sure we know the true source either. Carl Lindberg (talk) 22:28, 4 November 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No FOP in South Africa.

Edelseider (talk) 09:52, 26 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Comment I hate giving an answer to this because I am against deleting South African images on Commons for FOP reasons as the law in South Africa is in the process of changing to include a FOP copyright exception. If I had to give an answer it would be... maybe, bridges might (but if so then perhaps not always) also exceed COM:TOO. I have a vague recollection of photographs of South African bridges on Commons having being deleted in the past. That's why copyright exceptions tend to use the term "public works" dropping the term "art" or some other word that might imply creativity so as to be as broad as possible. Also because the law recognizes that it is not a good judge of what is "art" or not but instead tries to use tests for novelty in patents and creativity (or "sweat of the brow" intellectual work that does not plagiarize) for copyright. However, it must be noted that many bridges, it can be convincingly argued, are effectively simple objects consisting of geometric shapes. In this interpretation bridges that do not have a decorative facade would not be copyrightable but ones with such a facade would be. The same would be true of buildings. I can get a legal opinion on this later this week as I am no IP law scholar. Then I can give a better answer. Either way I can see this falling into a gray area.--Discott (talk) 14:26, 2 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

WMC is not a soapbox and this has no educational use Dronebogus (talk) 01:06, 18 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Keep It has educational use by illustrating how a) a failed message on Twitter looks like which is not among its many screenshots b) helping illustrate what a disrupted communication online can look like. Also it's by definition within scope. Hundreds of images of porn have no realistic educational use but I'm fine that they are kept, I propose though that actual educational media is not censored / deleted for no good reason instead.

As I said elsewhere, COM:INUSE doesn't say that, and in any case that is complete bonkers. So, someone can make something up, someone else can find it on commons and use in some obscure language WP, and it can never be deleted, even though it is complete nonsense? The net result of that is that it will get used more and more, and editors swap in the incorrect version because they like the vibe of it, or whatever. Doesn't commons apply the need for content to be verifiable? Peacemaker67 (talk) 08:33, 18 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Again, and you have been told this by more than one editor, YOU can not declare OTHER PEOPLE'S pics CC anything. The COPYRIGHTHOLDER, usually the photographer, can do that, and that's not you. If it's not PD in the US AND country of origin, you can not put pics like these on Commons, buddhists or not. Annoying rule, sure. See Commons:Licensing#Material_in_the_public_domain if you haven't.

  •  Keep PD-Myanmar. I agree the cc license is not correct, slightly modifying the clipping to straighten the text does not transfer the copyright. The image looks like he was about 40 years old, and it was republished in 1969.

    Fwiw, my understanding is that it fails "it was in the public domain in its home country on the URAA date (January 1, 1996 for most countries).", and per source the image is from 1969 (afaict with google translate. That would make image-Lustig late 50s, which seems possible to me).

    I'm not quite sure if the CC license is totally wrong here because it is now a 'new' work. One might say not very different from the original. However, it is nonetheless a new work, which would make it releasable under CC.
    Let's not get sectarian here. Buddhist teachings are non-sectarian. This is very much a side point.
