Nondescriptive name, useless description and no categories, so finding a use is impossible Jonjames1986 (talk) 04:36, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. In use here (wikimania site), purporting to be the Roman theatre in Alexandria. It doesn't look quite the same though, comparing with other images. The same uploader did make the similar-looking File:Arrraa.jpg, which is the Roman theatre there. Probably something in the immediate vicinity though, or some other section, as the two images were taken one minute apart. Tentatively  Keep, even though it is blurry.

It isn't used and has no apparent use Jonjames1986 (talk) 04:43, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The associated File:Asambleanacionaljr.jpg was briefly used (see this old edit) but quickly deleted as spam, probably due to the URL in the image. This image may have a use though, but unsure how notable it is. The picture does seem to relate to that section of the es:Juventud_Radical_de_Chile#La Mesa Nacional article though, which still exists. Carl Lindberg (talk) 16:06, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. We're not an encyclopedia, and I could think of a use for this, but it doesn't look self-made. It's not used nor has this request been challenged so I think deleting it is our best option. Rocket000(talk) 14:29, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to be a product of the Australian Navy, not the US Navy. Photos taken by the Australian Navy are only usable under "Fair Dealing" laws, similar to Fair Use. As such, this is a copyvio image. --Malkinann (talk) 07:41, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

derivative work, no FOP

 Delete per nomination --High Contrast (talk) 09:03, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep derivative work? Why? no FOP? What do u mean by that? The image cc-BY on flickr and the uploader seems to have done it himself, unless u have proof on your claims.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 09:31, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
LOL^^ I read a lot of del discussion, but I have not seen that comment so far. Why this iamge is a derivative work is explained on COM:DW. In short: Even you are may the author of any file the imagecontent could be a 3D figure witch is not ineligible for copyright and is copyrighted. So even you may have taken the image by yourself you can't licence it under a free licence (which is required on Commons). FOP is the shortcut for "Freedom of Panorama" which is explained on COM:FOP. In short: In some countries (Austria or Germany for example) buildings and artwork which is placed in a public place can be photographed AND licenced under a free licence. Some countries (France and Italy for example) don't allow to publish neither artwork nor buildings. Other countries (USA and Japan for example) only allow the free licence for buildings. Any more questions?

[edit]

There is one ticket in OTRS that can be linked to this copyrightholder, the ticket only gives permission for File:Luftbild Rathaus Falkensee.jpg and File:Luftbild Falkenhagener See.jpg though. The images have been pending for almost three months now. Ciell (talk) 11:40, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry for this but it is not my fault and it is not a copyright violation. I asked Mr. Düsterhöft for sending an e-mail to the otrs-team. Obviously he didn't do it. So I ask him again. OK? -- Serpens ?! 01:30, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
P.S.: See also Mr. Düsterhöft's earlier approved images: Luftbild Falkenhagener See.jpg and Luftbild Rathaus Falkensee.jpg

this migh not be FBI photo - it's likely to be copyrighted by Jeffco sheriff's office Robek (talk|contribs) 13:07, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just to make it clearer - sheriff's office is not part of federal goverment, so licence is not applicable. also as far as I can remember any other police photos from columbine have been deleted or not included on commons for just this reason. They are part of en.wiki article as fair use --195.171.95.4 12:39, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for a delay in responding, but I haven't checked my miksi.net emails for a while as I've been on vacation.
Thank you for your message though. I'm glad you like some of my photos.
I will gladly give you the permission to put either of these Ailakkajärvi photos your wikipedia article. I have some difficulty doing it since I don't understand the language (basque language?) on the page, so I don't how and where to edit, where to add the photos etc... :)

Source does not mention GFDL license, thus missing permission. ChrisiPK (Talk|Contribs) 19:13, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 FYI: Also have a look at the previous discussion on User talk:ChrisiPK#What copyleft means. Regards, -- ChrisiPK (Talk|Contribs) 19:17, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Honestly, I can't remember if the original had any mention of GFDL and then removed it or what (that's uncyclopedia for you). I barely remember uploading this. I know it was transferred from a Wikipedia (zh, I think) where it did have a GFDL, but who knows who put it there. Being Wikipe-tan, I didn't question the license because character's creator has released all his Wikipe-tan work freely. Maybe the permission can be dug up, but it's not worth the effort, IMO.

Keep in mind that a simple person will not understand at all what these licenses are, not even if I tell her what to write down in a permission. Maybe those in the Wikimedia Foundation are all lawyers or I don't know what, but a simple person will understand nothing of these nonsense rules!!! You should be happy if users try to act according to these absurd "rules", because they are all an unnecessary nonsense!

Sheet music and MIDI files by Bottomline

[edit]

A large number of the files uploaded by Bottomline (talk · contribs) seem to be excerpts from works by 20th century musicians or composers, and thus still likely to be covered by copyright. They may well qualify as fair use, but this is not enough to make them suitable for Commons. (Some of these works might be PD in the United States if they were published without a copyright notice or if their copyright was not renewed. I have not attempted to carry out any kind of copyright search to see where this might be the case, but as far as I can tell none of the listed files assert it.)

Note that the user's upload history also includes several files depicting simple musical scales, which are presumably PD, as well as some excerpts from old or otherwise PD works; if I've included any such in the list above by mistake, please strike them out. Also note that the list above includes a few files that were either originally uploaded to the German Wikipedia by Benutzer:Bottomline and transferred here by other users, or that are derivatives created by other Commons users (including two created by myself).

(Ps. See also existing nomination Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Billie Vocal 1st A section.ogg.) —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 16:43, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm... this is tricky stuff. Note, for one thing, that I uploaded the major part of these files quite some time ago, when it was still pretty unclear which kind of music snippets were acceptable (not that it's become so much clearer in the meantime). Since then, common practice in the German Wikipedia and here have gone separate ways, the crucial point being that the sheer brevity of many of the excerpts make them acceptable in the context of an article on de. This, by the way, is the main reason why I stopped uploading music files on Commons altogether at some point in 2008 or so - it's just too difficult to understand. I'd say that most of these files are, to this day, okay with the policies of de-WP. In many other cases, I think (but I am not completely sure) that such musical material as improvised accompaniments (bass lines, in many cases) or improvised jazz solos do not qualify for copyright the same way "legit" compositions do. Mind you, I'm not implying that anything improvised is somehow aesthetically "inferior" to something that's been written down beforehand - quite the contrary. But the reality is, there are so many books on the market, so many sites on the internet offering transcriptions of great improvisations, jazz, rock, ethnic, you name 'em, and to my knowledge none of the musicians ever got any money out of it - basically giving the lie to Stravinsky's famous dictum that improvisation is spontaneous composition. These things are not treated the same way in the world out there, which is why I don't think there should be a different "legislation" here on Commons. It's a lot of material, though, I'd be grateful if we can discuss in every single case how to proceed: Keep, move to de or, if nothing helps, delete. For example, a ditty like "Jumpin' with Symphony Sid", although generally attributed by jazz folklore to the great Lester Young, is, an probably always has been, what jazz players call a "public domain lick". To my knowledge, the riff isn't copyrighted at all. The Ian Dury song probably is, although the "composer" himself readily admitted the lick in question has been has been taken over lock, stock and barrel from a Charlie Haden solo on an Ornette Coleman composition... well, I guess you've gotten my point in the meantime. Looking forward to your comments, --Bottomline (talk) 19:08, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the speedy response. In case it wasn't clear from my original nomination, I'd like to clarify that I certainly don't want to see these files deleted — I listed them here because I felt that at least some of them seemed problematic with regard to current Commons policy (which, unfortunately, does tend to impose requirement beyond what most reusers would see as practical), but if you or anyone else here can find justifications for claiming as many as possible of them as PD or otherwise acceptable on Commons, I'm all for it. For example, if others don't disagree, I'd be glad to strike the "Jumpin' with Symphony Sid" files from this nomination just based on your comments above.
Also, I'd be glad if someone who knew more about the subject could chime in on a) where the generally accepted threshold of originality for simple melodies like this actually lies under U.S. law, and b) what the copyright status of improvised melodies (either first published as sound recordings or merely performed in public without being fixed in tangible form at all) is under (pre-1976) U.S. copyright law. I know enough about copyright law to know that things can get tricky in such cases, but I'm not a lawyer and I don't really know enough to say anything definite. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 20:14, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
"TheoLodz.MID" - "song of Łódź from late 19th century" should be PD then?! See as well on de:Theo, wir fahr’n nach Lodz. It was 1914 a song for the austrian army. If i understand t right with the same melody...Sicherlich Post 18:51, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, yes, you're right. I think I got a bit confused because the PNG version's description only mentioned the 1974 date. I've struck them off the list. Sorry. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 15:51, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Given given a) that this request has remained open for two and a half months without anything more conclusive than the above, b) that even my attempt to solicit additional input doesn't seem to have helped at all, and c) that I've come to suspect that some of my initial reasons for nominating these files for deletion amount to excessive copyright paranoia, I've come to feel that it would be best if I were to withdraw my nomination. This request has been hanging long enough, and I'm not even sure I should've made it in the first place: let's just close it. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 05:31, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Most likely copyright Infringement file. I found another version of this file (See [2]), which I assume is a cropped file of a TV show chapture because of the 16:9 ratio. This contributor only uploaded this one file. 61.120.241.1 13:18, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Aspect ratio is extremely common – not limited to television – and likely due to it being a banner image --dsprc (talk) 14:14, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This person is a very famous Japanese singer. The quality of the photos and the use of fonts are the work of a professional. This should be considered. This is not a job for amateurs. --61.120.241.1 14:31, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's just a photo of a person standing against a wall, with standard typefaces (which isn't the same as a "font") featuring drop shadows on the text. Such a work was within the realm of toddlers decades ago, much less now. One need not overstate the skill required – especially on Commons, where we've the most amazing works created by amateurs (even monkeys!). --dsprc (talk) 14:47, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The presence of other photographs taken by professionals would be a serious basis for infringement of the right of authorship. --61.120.241.1 15:25, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not contesting the DR – merely commenting on issues related to some statements therein. Which continue being presented – such as assumptions on the work being created by professionals, or the original uploader is not a professional (we have many professionals contributing to this project). I think I understand the sentiment you're trying to express, and mostly agree, but the wording of the statements are entirely nonsensical. --dsprc (talk) 15:53, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
