File:Gunther Erna 2013.jpg[edit]

Over-reliance on bot processes has allowed this to escape scrutiny for nearly 11 years. The upload claimed it was licensed as BY-NC-ND (see here). A bot quickly appended a compatible license in spite of that. Looking at the source page, the photo is no longer there. The disclaimer at the bottom of the page states that CC only applies to the text, not the photos, because the photos have separate rights holders. The uploader has no other contributions to the project besides this upload. RadioKAOS (talk) 01:55, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Keep. I wouldn't have uploaded this file in the first place, If I did not judge it as a work by Tasnim News Agency. First of all, not having a Tasnim watermark does not necessarily mean that the file should be automatically considered copyvio (while it can be a warning sign). I have documented several instances of Tasnim files that lack a typical watermark, yet evidently created by the agency's staff (please see User:HeminKurdistan/Tasnim for details). Moreover, there are multiple facts that can help corroborate that this file is a Tasnim work. As mentioned in the file's information template, it is a known fact that Tasnim has presence in Lebanon. They opened an office in Beirut in 2014 and have several local correspondents there, including Zeynab Salloum, Ahmed Issa, Myriam Tahmaz, Noor Khalil, Ahmed Al-Najjar, Noor Yasin and possibly others. For a recent video interview with a Lebanese politician from Hezbollah, Tasnim had sent a crew of three from Tehran to Beirut. So, I would not be surprised if such a media organization covers an event in Lebanon, with their staff creating photographs and videos (in fact, the media affiliated with IRGC are there to give a favorable coverage of Hezbollah activities, like this military drill that the file depicts). Plus, Tasnim stresses on its report (source for these files) that the content is exclusive ("
گزارش اختصاصی تسنیم
") and that a reporter is sent from Tehran as well. All videos have an embedded watermark visible in the middle (@tasnim_military), and none of the files published by Tasnim are found in other sources. This particular file seems to be a screenshot taken from File:Tasnim News Agency - 2023 Hezbollah drill in Aaramta (16).webm. I have checked content published by other media present at the event (AP, AFP, Al Minar, Al Mayadeen and the Middle East Eye) and did not see a match. Also, a reverse search of the files on tineye and google does not show any publication before Tasnim. That being said, I see no valid reason to delete this file as copyvio.

 Keep A presumption indicates a general guide or an idea that we assume to be true, even if we don't know for certain. A presumption is not an iron law. HeminKurdistan presented clear evidence that this specific photo (and others in this set) are works of Tasnim News and are freely licensed. So even if the presumption is that photos without watermarks are not freely licensed, that presumption is rebutted in this case because of the specific evidence to the contrary.

The source is Facebook and doesn't state where this image was published originally to justify using {{PD-Brazil-Photo}}. The photo may be taken in Brazil, but it doesn't imply it country of origin, i.e., where it was published is Brazil. The Facebook post is in Spanish and the user seems to have worked for a Venezuelan club. If this was published originally in Venezuela, then it would be still protected by copyright. Without a clear provenance we cannot keep this images. Günther Frager (talk) 14:59, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Günther Frager: The post explicitly states that it was the squad used for the Brazil Independence Cup on 18 June 1972 which was around the time they would play their match against Peru at Vivaldão, Manaus. SuperSkaterDude45 (talk) 17:45, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@SuperSkaterDude45 Yes, the photo was taken in Brazil on 18 June 1972. Where does in the post says the image was published in Brazil? The country of publication is what is relevant for copyright. Günther Frager (talk) 17:55, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Günther Frager: Hence why the unknown author exists. As an addition to this, the image was likely published in Brazil given that the event wouldn't see much notability outside of Brazil and Portugal. So far, there's no actual basis to claim that it was published in Venezuela as that would constitute as original research. SuperSkaterDude45 (talk) 17:59, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
So a football match between the national football teams of Venezuela and Peru was only important to Brazil? Why Portugal and not Brazil's neighboring countries or the other 13 international teams that participated in the competition? Here you have the front page of an Argentine newspaper talking about this "non-notable" tournament. The Facebook account that posted the scan was from Venezuela, if they made the scan is likely to be from an old Venezuelan newspaper and not from a Brazilian one. But as, I stated if there is no enough information about the initial publication of this image we cannot keep it. Günther Frager (talk) 18:41, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Günther Frager: So since this is apparently now a discussion about notability, allow me to give a brief rundown on notability in Wikipedia. Secondary sources are encouraged and One newspaper in Argentina from 51 years ago does notability meet not. In terms of web searches, sources that aren't tied with Brazil or Portugal that are fully dedicated to the Cup include 1 and 2. The Pageviews don't help either. Regardless, if a singular Facebook post is the only source of Venezuela in the Cup, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that it largely went unnoticed in Venezuela and that a Brazilian source was more probable to publish it given that most secondary sources are in Brazilian Portuguese. SuperSkaterDude45 (talk) 03:10, 13 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
No, the DR is about a copyright violation, and it remains about copyright violation. Your only argument of why this image was published in Brazil was that all news related to this event at the time were published in Portuguese speaking newspapers. I only need to show one counterexample to disprove your bogus argument (a universal quantification). Also, the image you uploaded is only found, apart from Facebook pages of Venezuelans, on Venezuelan websites [2][3]. As, I explained before, we need to original source where this image was published to keep it in case it is in the public domain of its country of origin.

@SuperSkaterDude45, it is your duty as uploader to provide accurate information about the date and place of publication.

@Günther Frager: Except not really as even after your findings, no actual author could be found and the photographer could just about be anywhere as in your own words: the event was on during a World Cup match with hundreds of photojournalists from all over the world. Regardless, you were the one to file a deletion request, so it is your responsibility to find the original newspaper that had the source rather than relying on hypotheticals. The BBC article you cited is obviously not the original source as the only thing you can do with it is trace the original source for the Pinterest post.

Copyright violation. While the file is found at the National Archives (https://catalog.archives.gov/id/6609105), the photographer is given as "Ricky Kellum Litton". Litton (rather its Avondale subsidiary, both later acquired by Northrop Grumman) is the company that built the ship. As such, the photographer is not an officer or employee of the U.S. Government. In addition, the photo was taken in 2000, according to NARA, meaning that copyright has not expired. – Recoil16 (talk) 15:59, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This item was assessed by an archivist before the copyright determination was made. The National Archives catalog states that this is in the public domain (use "unrestricted") and that the creator is the US Defense Visual Information Center. Do you have any actual evidence that contradicts this? There are a number of reasons that what you've written may not result in a copyright in this image, such as that the original description was determined by the archives to be an error (you are quoting from an original caption, not the archival metadata) or that a government contractor may transfer contract as part of the terms of the contract. Dominic (talk) 16:11, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I am simply operating on the information given at the source, which is what we have to work off. I personally think that the scenario that it was mistakenly categorized as "unrestricted" (especially given that it is a photo of a U.S. Navy ship, most of which are taken by sailors and which are in fact in the public domain) is more likely than the copyright being transferred to the U.S. Government and them releasing it into the public domain. I am happy to be proven wrong. – Recoil16 (talk) 16:29, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Since you're "happy to be proven wrong", what would it take to do so? What if we went and got an official opinion from the actual agency authorized to preserve and mark copyright status for archival government records? Dominic (talk) 19:40, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I have simply laid out why I believe that this image may not be in the public domain. Whatever steps you decide take to make a case that it is in the public domain, that is your prerogative. My being "happy to be proven wrong" is simply related to the closing of this discussion. If the closing admin believes this image is in the public domain, good, then we have another freely licensed image. If the closing admin deletes, so be it. – Recoil16 (talk) 20:55, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
My point was that Commons' burden of proof has already been met. Your only argument is speculation based on the same description that the archivist already reviewed in making their copyright determination. When an item is owned and described by a reputable institution, that determination is evidence of its copyright status. I even provided reasonable scenarios that would explain the copyright status. You are asking for the image to be deleted just because you, personally, are unconvinced, and unwilling to perform any research (such as contacting the institution) or provide any evidence that actually refutes the reasonable explanations (such as a copyright claim from the alleged rightsholder). Dominic (talk) 21:07, 13 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Meanwhile https://www.archivesfoundation.org/about/privacy-policy/ says "Images that are part of the National Archives’ collection are in the public domain and are free to use."
I don't care how the NARA archivists came to the conclusion this image was eligible to put online, where viewers should assume it is " in the public domain and are free to use".
Is Recoil16 asserting we should assume that the NARA archivist Made a mistake when they placed this image somewhere where viewers should assume it was in the public domain? Why?
Herman Kahn, the great Cold War theorist, used to repeat a Yiddish folk story, to warn about the dangers of overthinking things. Back in the old Imperial Russia, jews were oppressed, like in the movie "Fiddler on the Roof". They used to have follow a practice, like in the movie "Green book", and plan their trips so that they only stayed, overnight, in villages populated by fellow jews. In Khan's folk story a suspicious Rabbi, in one of these villages, confronts a visitor, saying, "You say you are going to Minsk. But I think you want us to think you are going to Pinsk. However, I am not fooled, because I already know you are going to Minsk."'
There is a danger in over-thinking things. There is a danger in taking the precautionary principle to bizarre and ridiculous extremes. Assuming the archivist made a mistake is, in my opinion, an abuse of the precautionary principle. Geo Swan (talk) 22:28, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • The EXIF data says the image was taken by Ricky Kellum Litton. I wonder whether User talk:Recoil16 jumped to the conclusion the picture was taken by an individual named Ricky Kellum who worked for the corporation Litton, even though that is not what the EXIF data says?
Litton is a surname. Litton corporation is almost certainly named after an individual with the Litton surname, and I think we should assume that Ricky Kellum Litton is another individual named Litton, who was a DoD employee. Geo Swan (talk) 23:21, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Another photo of USNS Mendonca is credited to "Ricky Kellum Litton-Avondale Ind", I think it's a fair assumption that that's the same person and that "Litton-Avondale Ind" (and just "Litton" in the case of the other picture) refers to the company, and is not somebody's surname. – Recoil16 (talk) 23:48, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • User talk:Recoil16 asserted Litton (rather its Avondale subsidiary, both later acquired by Northrop Grumman) is the company that built the ship...
According to Litton Industries Northrup Grumman acquired Litton in 2001, seven years after this ship was built. Perhaps Recoil16 could explain how they came to the conclusion that Litton built the ship, when the site they cited says it was built by Northrup Grumman?

 Keep This deletion concerns a sentence someone added to the {{Tasnim}} template several years ago. We have since learned, as discussed in greater detail here User:HeminKurdistan/Tasnim, that photographs taken by local offices of Tasnim are often not watermarked with the name of the photographer. This photo was taken by the Tasnim News Bojnord desk, as is written on the photo. Further, the photo does not exist in higher resolution or without the center Tasnim News watermark. So even if there is a general presumption that works without photographer credits are non-free, we have specific evidence to rebut that presumption in this case.

There is no strong reason to delete these files. But as File:Karnaugh6.gif is nominated by its author, it should be treated as a courtesy deletion. The same does not apply to File:Karnaugh map KV Torus 1.png. It is of rather low quality, and I would not miss it. But I want to remind you, that generally there is no reason to delete unused PNGs, just because someone made a similar SVG.
