While it is possible that this image is out of copyright, where is the evidence (since we cannot assume it is.)

  1. No author is given. Therefore we cannot assign it a "Author died" type tag (ie {{PD-old}}). Since the author must have died over 70 years ago. That means the author only had to live 33 years after 1908. Even back then this could have very easily happened. We just don't know.
  2. The source link provided goes to a photo at publication in 1979. {{PD-US}} requires proof of publication before 1923, therefore this and the other "publication" type tags are not supported by the link or information provided.

This is a case where, unfortunately, the unloader has failed to supply enough information to show it is PD. I have tried to find a replacement image that is PD and any evidence that this image is PD, but have been unable to Per 17 USC 302 "Works of unknown authors or where the author's death date is unknown are copyrighted until the shorter of 95 years since the first publication or 120 years since their creation" so this image will not be Public Domain until January 1, 2029.

--ARTEST4ECHO talk 18:59, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am the original uploader. Manning died in 1908 at an age of around 86, after having outlived almost all of her peers. In this photo, Manning is probably in her 30's or 40's, suggesting that it was taken around 1850. (this and this are what she looked like when she was older.) If we assume that she was the same age as her photographer (not a wild assumption) then in the unlikely event that he outlived her, he'd have had to outlive her by 33 years or until 1941, as you pointed out. Even if he was a teenager running around Utah with a camera in 1860, he'd have to live to be 96 years old.
If you are not convinced, I can do some more research and try to track down some more information. Adjwilley (talk) 19:48, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

based on the flaws in this uploader's other contribution of a photo of an educational institution, and the exceedingly low resolution and file size, I conclude that the uploader simply found this picture somewhere online. DS (talk) 00:32, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Low quality homespun "collage" that is a derivative of about 4-5 files none of which are attributed. Fred the Oyster (talk) 00:44, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I do not know if there is a rule that collage of lower quality have to be deleted, but it is firstly important to say that it does not violate any copyright.

Relaying a nomination by an IP that was place on wikipedia's image deletion page: The photo was published in a magazine, and states so in the description "Radio i telewizja" weekly, 3. October 1951. So, it is not a government source photo. Also, it was published before the "copyright law of July 10, 1952" took affect, so due credit to the photographer may be required. Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:05, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This image is in the public domain because according to the Art. 3 of copyright law of March 29, 1926 of the Republic of Poland and Art. 2 of copyright law of July 10, 1952 of the People's Republic of Poland, all photographs by Polish photographers (or published for the first time in Poland or simultaneously in Poland and abroad) published without a clear copyright notice before the law was changed on May 23, 1994 are assumed public domain.Szczebrzeszynski (talk) 05:57, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

This image fulfills the criteria of {{PD-Poland}} because was published before May 23, 1994.Szczebrzeszynski (talk) 06:02, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

The "Radio i telewizja" weekly was published by a state-owned publishing company. At 1951 all publishers in Poland were state-owned by the communist government. Szczebrzeszynski (talk) 19:46, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep Per Szczebrzeszynski. Btw: It is irrelevant the magazine was state-owned or it wasn not... The Polish copyright law says nothing about this subject. Electron   16:33, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep; this image meets the copyright law provisions, and the IP user has been blocked on En:wikipedia for edit warring because he took a specific dislike to this picture. Buckshot06 (talk) 17:53, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete The image was taken and published before the "copyright law of July 10, 1952" took affect. The description itself notes: "Radio i telewizja" weekly, 3. October 1951. So, the photographer still has rights to the work, as stated in the "copyright law of March 29, 1926" (Art. 8). Prawo autorskie do dzieł zbiorowych (encyklopedji, roczników, kalendarzy i t. p.) oraz do czasopism jest podwójne: do całości służy wydawcy, do poszczególnych części ich twórcom. Translated, article 8 states that if an image was published in a magazine, the publication and the photographer both have rights to the work. So, it is irrelevant that the magazine was state owned, before 1952, the photographer still held a partial claim to their work. --76.118.227.161 19:50, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't published with the required copyright notices, so no protection arises. The photograph had copyright protection from creation until the 1952 law took effect, which removed the specific protection afforded to media photographs. How can the publication and the photographer have dual rights to a work ? Surely the economic rights must reside with the publication or the photographer, and the moral rights with the photographer... --Claritas (talk) 19:59, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it is irrelevant that dual ownership of an image is unusual, the "copyright law of March 29, 1926" clearly states that such a provision is given, and I have included the text from article 8 which makes note of this. Also, I understand that no copyright notice was provided, but due to the changing political situation in Poland many legal errors and omissions occurred. Regardless of this fact, in recent years many individuals and organizations have sued to regain ownership of physical and intellectual property which was improperly, or illegally "nationalized" under communism. Thus, Wikipedia is best served to steer clear of such issues, and remove the image, in the end the photographer has a claim to this picture based on the "copyright law of March 29, 1926". --76.118.227.161 20:31, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've found a full translation in English now, and there is indeed a provision of dual ownership. However, this image was not "illegally" nationalized under Communism, as the People's Republic of Poland was the legitimate sucessor state to the Second Polish Republic, it legally entered the public domain by the passing of a law. Under which law can Polish works in the public domain leave the public domain due to "illegal nationalization" ? --Claritas (talk) 20:43, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Every Polish citizen has the right to take their claim to court in order to regain property, which they believe was "wrongly" taken over by the communist government, and it is for the judge to examine the details of each case. But, that is not the main point. The 1952 law was not retroactive, so the photographer still can claim dual rights to the image based on the "copyright law of March 29, 1926" this is one of the reasons why the 1926, 1952 and 1994 copyright laws are all included in the Wiki image disclaimer, an image has to be inline with all three based on the year of its publication. Because this photo was taken in 1951 it falls under the "copyright law of March 29, 1926" and the photographer still holds claim to it. --76.118.227.161 21:16, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Even if the 1952 law was not applied retroactively (I suspect it was), this image was not published with a copyright notice, so no protection arises. Therefore  Keep. --Claritas (talk) 22:23, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, "suspecting" is not a valid argument. If the law was retroactive it would have stated so in the text at the very top of the code. Also, how do you know that there was no copyright seal, do you have the magazine in front of you? It seems that some of the contributors are basing their final judgment on very questionable reasoning. You agreed that there is "dual rights" to this image, yet you voted to keep the picture, which is in violation of copyright law? --76.118.227.161 22:40, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It is retroactive, as technically the 1952 law is an amendment to the 1926 law, and thus the amended version of the 1926 law is the only one relevant since 1952. Copyright notices were pretty unusual on Soviet era publications anywhere. I'm going to cease arguing here, you're simply not getting the point. --Claritas (talk) 22:49, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have a real issue with how some of the "more experienced editors" are approaching this dispute. I have presented solid evidence that there is a potential copyright liability attached to this image, and it is Wikipedia's policy to err on the side of caution. While on the other hand, persons who want to keep this picture, are only presenting vague and unsubstantiated statements. I clearly proved that the "copyright law of March 29, 1926" (Art. 8) gives the creator and the publicist dual rights to the image, and in fact the "copyright law of July 10, 1952" (Art. 45) makes a specific reference that "dual rights" are permitted under communist rule, thus upholding the earlier 1926 law in this respect. Also, I question the claim there there is no copyright of any kind on this image, as the laws had a blanket effect protecting the creators from unauthorized reproduction of their work. Finally, I made note of ongoing litigation regarding just such cases regarding ownership of intellectual property. So, I find it very disturbing that some editors are foregoing good judgment, and voting to keep this image, basing their interpretation of the issue on American or Soviet copyright laws, and not those of Poland (which are different in their application). --76.118.227.161 23:45, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In the state of law everybody can clame everything before the coart of law. But here no evidence that it can win in this case... Can you produce any evidence? If not it is only your own opinion. From time to time a person tried to disscuss this case but they have no evidence and can't prove their opinion. Many word, no proofs. Why? Because the Polish law is clear in this subject and there are any lawsuit won before the coart. If you really believe in what you are saying you should go with your clames to the coart and try to win... Electron   12:56, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have presented the evidence, so here it is again... make sure you look at the dates of when the law took effect and when the image was first published: The image was taken and published before the "copyright law of July 10, 1952" took affect. The description itself notes: "Radio i telewizja" weekly, 3. October 1951. So, the photographer still has rights to the work, as stated in the "copyright law of March 29, 1926" (Art. 8). Prawo autorskie do dzieł zbiorowych (encyklopedji, roczników, kalendarzy i t. p.) oraz do czasopism jest podwójne: do całości służy wydawcy, do poszczególnych części ich twórcom. Translated, article 8 states that if an image was published in a magazine, the publication and the photographer both have rights to the work. So, it is irrelevant that the magazine was state owned, before 1952, the photographer still held a partial claim to their work. --76.118.227.161 14:59, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • To be strict the Polish copyright act from 1926 stated that (Art. 21): (...) Prawo autorskie do dzieł fotograficznych, lub otrzymanych w podobny do fotografji sposób gaśnie w dziesięć lat od zdjęcia fotografji (...). Prawo autorskie do serji zdjęć fotograficznych, mającej znaczenie artystyczne lub naukowe, gaśnie w pięćdziesiąt lat od śmierci wydawcy. (abr. in English: The author copyrights last for 10 years after the photo was taken. The copy rights for set of photos, if they have science or artictial value, last for 50 years after the publisher death. You see: not the author but the publisher. No one photo but set of photos, no a photo but the set of photos that have science or artictial value. So you produced not the truth: the law from 1926 treated the photos in difference way that other works. So the autor copyrigts has gone meny years ago... Even if we talking about the law from 1926 but it was superseded by the 2 next releases of the Polish copyright law... As I sad the 1926 law act is irrelevant in this case. And what about a lawsuit won before the coart? Have you produced any?.. No, because there is none. Electron   17:02, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I just had a chance to read Article 21 of the "copyright law of March 29, 1926" and nowhere does it differentiate between the author, or publisher, instead the word used in the text is "twórcy" translated as "creators". Also, you don't know if this photo was part of a series or not, so your argument that such laws apply only to a group of photos is inconclusive in this case. Finally, this photograph is a static portrait of soldiers, so it does not depict a live historic event, thus it can be seen as being of artistic nature, and as you noted above it than has copyright protection for fifty years after the creators death. Finally, since the creator is unknown we are not able to determine his death, but there is a very reasonable possibility that he is still alive, and is entitled to this work. So, as per Wikipedia rules we should err on the side of caution. The burden of proof requires that we are sure no copyright laws are being violated, in the case of this image, there are unknown factors that prevent us from guaranteeing 100% that no copyright laws are violated. --76.118.227.161 01:48, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also, I'd like to fully discredit the claim that there was no copyright notice on this photo... per the (Art. 3) of "copyright law of March 29, 1926" and (Art. 2) of "copyright law of July 10, 1952", if the year when the photograph was taken is present, it thus establishes a benchmark for copyright protection. "Na odbitkach fotograficznych i reprodukcjach, otrzymywanych w podobny do fotografji sposób, na filmach, a także na nutach dla mechanizmu, na walcach fonograficznych i tym podobnych przyrządach, odtwarzających utwór w sposób mechaniczny, należy uwidocznić rok zdjęcia lub przeniesienia". This photo has a year in its description 1951, so it has copyright protection set by this benchmark. --76.118.227.161 01:48, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
OK. but art. 21 stated also: Prawo autorskie, które powstało na rzecz osób prawnych, gaśnie w pięćdziesiąt lat od czasu wydania utworu lub innego podania go do wiadomości publicznej. (abbr. in English: Copyrigths for institution last 50 years after the first publication) -> 1951+50=2001. The publisher was an institution (Radio i telewizja magazin). So copyrigts had gone in 2001 and the photo is in PD. But as I sad the 1926 law act is irrelevant in this case. And what about a lawsuit won before the coart? Have you produced any?.. No, because there is none. Electron   10:17, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete I think what IP is trying to say is that the majority of images featured on most Wikipedia pages associated with a military topic are either government source, or copyleft. On the other hand, the disputed image was scanned form a magazine, and was originally taken by a professional photographer. Despite the fact that the ever-changing political situation of Poland created a legal gray zone, it appears that there is some legitimate copyright protection attached to this picture. --Pybk (talk) 04:11, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • As for the disputed image... user: Electron... did you not read my earlier comments? You are bringing up an objection that was discredited earlier! I think it's clear that the creator has a rights to the photo, due the the dual ownership clause in the copyright law, see: "copyright law of March 29, 1926" (Art. 8) and "copyright law of July 10, 1952" (Art. 45). In a dual ownership situation between the publisher and creator the copyright expires 50 years after the death of the creator , or 50 years after the first publish date... whichever happens last, as not to undermine the other. So, in this case... the name of the photographer is listed as "unknown", so you can't determine what is the true status of the photograph, and you can't simply say that the photo was published 50 years ago, so the copyright expired, the creator still has the right to it. So, here are the point that raise serious doubt to the claim that this photo has no copyright attached to it:
1. DUAL RIGHT TO THE IMAGE, BOTH PUBLISHER, AND CREATOR (LISTED AS UNKNOWN IN IMAGE DETAILS). "copyright law of March 29, 1926" (Art. 8)
2. PHOTOGRAPH HAS A DATE STAMP 1951, WHICH SERVES AS A BASIS FOR A COPYRIGHT CLAIM UNDER POLAND'S COPYRIGHT LAW. "copyright law of March 29, 1926" (ART. 21)
3. THE CLAIM MADE BY USER: Szczebrzeszynski (WHO SCANNED THIS IMAGE FROM A MAGAZINE) THAT THERE IS NO COPYRIGHT IS BOGUS. EVEN COMMUNIST ERA MAGAZINES USED COPYRIGHT TO PROTECT THEIR MATERIAL, AND ENSURE THAT THEIR WORK IS NOT RIPPED OFF BY COMPETING, OR FOREIGN PUBLICATIONS.
Also, user Claritas confirmed that the dual ownership claim is correct, user Electron confirmed that this image has a date stamp of 1951, which under the law acts as a copyright claim, and I have again noted that the copyright expires 50 year after the death of the creator. At this point I am not sure how anyone can claim that this image does not violate any copyright laws and should stay!  Delete--76.118.227.161 23:52, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You can only !vote once, so I've struck your !vote. That user was certainly your sockpuppet, unless you normally refer to yourself as "the IP". We've already gone through with you the fact that the 1952 copyright law is not a law in itself, but an amendment of the 1926 law, and therefore is retroactive. --Claritas (talk) 01:16, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Dude, what the hell are you talking about! Even the 1952 law affords copyright protection, and dual ownership!!! You and all the other fools think that just because the photo was taken during the communist era it has no copyright protection whatsoever! Look at Article 45 and Article 2 of the "copyright law of July 10, 1952". Even if there is no copyright stamp it only prevents the third party form being prosecuted for illegally reproducing the image, but they have to cease and desist once notified. At this point there is no use in voting, this image is in violation of the copyright law!!! You and other registered users are just going in circles, I disprove one of your claims, you bring up an old one again!!! --76.118.227.161 01:37, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There is no copyright notice. "A photograph is a subject of copyright, if there is a clear copyright notice on the work" (look at article 2 §1). No copyright notice => no copyright protection. --Claritas (talk) 02:00, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And look at Article 2/Section 3!!! It states that if there is no copyright stamp it only prevents the third party form being held liable for illegally reproducing the image. But, they have to cease and desist once made aware of the source of the image. Funny, how you just did not include this section, but listed 1 and 2 only? Also, I noted earlier that if there is a year stamp present (there is 1951) it constitutes the basis of a copyright notice see: (Art. 3) of "copyright law of March 29, 1926" and (Art. 2) of "copyright law of July 10, 1952" You are just trying to put this IP (me), in my place since you are the registered user, right? How many examples do I have to provide!!!--76.118.227.161 02:09, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Also, how do you know there is no copyright stamp present, do you have the magazine in front of you? It's very unlikely that a magazine just publishes its content without a copyright (communism, or not) even under communism magazines were wary of other foreign, and domestic publishers ripping-off their work! So, stop going by stereotypes like "communism = public domain", this could not be further from the truth! --76.118.227.161 02:24, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Look at the photograph ? Is there a copyright notice printed on the photograph ? No. So no copyright protection applies. --Claritas (talk) 02:46, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Dude, can you read... did you not comprehend what I just wrote above, just cause someone cuts off the bottom of the image and says "no copyright date here" does not mean that there is no protection afforded. READ ART. 2/SEC. 3 --76.118.227.161 02:55, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Per Wiki rules the burden of prof is on the person that wants to keep the image, ask them to scan the entire page to see if there is a copyright stamp, if they claimed that the image was scanned from a magazine, they surly have it on hand, right. How the hell, do you really believe someone who scanned a photo form a magazine, and claimed that there is "no copyright stamp" whatsoever? I have tons of books and magazines form communist Poland, and they all have copyright notices! This is such BS it's pathetic... So, if I'm a "registered user" I can just add an image, say there is no copyright, and everyone takes my side, right... no one questions my contribution? --76.118.227.161 14:33, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I have not read the extensive statutory discussion, so if I missed some nuance please correct me, but to the extent that the keep argument relies on it being published without a copyright notice, that argument must be rejected without access to the full magazine and verification that there is not copyright information published at the beginning/end with a proper copyright notice and credit, or credit and copyright notice in the photo caption.

Sounds like a bizarre rule but that's what the law says as best as I can understand from Google translate (and the comments above). As far as an argument that that sentence only applies to reliance parties, that's not what it appears to say -- 76..., you'll have to make that argument much more clearly if you want to persuade people. Calliopejen1 (talk) 05:22, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have found proof that Polish magazines form the communist era did indeed carry copyright protection, and listed the names of the photographers just below the image itself, see hyperlink for a 1951 Przekrój magazine: http://mbc.malopolska.pl/dlibra/doccontent?id=58859&from=PIONIER%20DLF you may have to download a Djvu reader to see it. But, on every page there is a caption that identifies the creator. Also, here is another point... you do not know if the intellectual property rights were sold off to a third party, and someone all together different holds the right to this publication, and reserves the claim to this image. --76.118.227.161 01:03, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
How does that prove that they carried copyright protection? There isn't even a copyright notice anywhere in that magazine, as far as I see (except one added during the digitization process decades later). (There are photo credits, but those are entirely unrelated.) If anything, this magazine supports the argument that copyright notices were unusual in this era. Because there are no copyright notices for the photos in that magazine, they too would be in the public domain. This concept of public domain by no notice is not unique to Poland - it also applied in the United States for some time - see {{PD-US-no notice}}. I'm not sure why it's so hard for you to wrap your brain around this. Calliopejen1 (talk) 03:46, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

At this point, can we go ahead and remove the disputed image... The users who voted to keep the photo are presenting very weak arguments to support their claims.

  • User: Buckshot06 voted to keep the image, but only argued that the image is nominated for deletion because someone does not like it, and provides no further comments.
  • User: Szczebrzeszynski who uploaded the image, simply states that the photo is in the public domain, because it's form the communist era in Poland, and mistakenly believes that communism/state owned = unrestricted public domain. A claim that was disproved by user Electron, who actually voted to keep the image.
  • User: Electron voted to keep the image, because he believes that the copyright has expired, but he is not acknowledging the fact that we do not know who's the photographer that took the image is, so determining the expiration date of a copyright is impossible in this case.
  • User: Claritas voted to keep the image, but his only method is to shoot down claims supporting the removal of the image, by trying to argue minute details that suppository completely render any copyright protections null and void.

  • In short:
Well, this is exhausting, and can we really say being 100% sure that this image has no copyright protection whatsoever? All the users have been going back and forth on this issue, arguing obscure details, and the only thing that was confirmed... is that the law, and its application is very complicated, due to the ever changing political situation in Poland, and the out dated linguistic style used in its text. In the end, I doubt that this image has no copyright protection. After all, it's from a magazine, and I don't believe for a second that the publishers would allow their work to be printed without a copyright. Forget the public domain in a communist country argument, what about the publisher's work being ripped-off by some other printing house outside the country? No publisher is that naive to allow their work to be hijacked. So, can we get an expert to finally sort this out... or can we ask the person who scanned this image to request a written confirmation from the publisher that this image indeed holds no copyright protection. At this point, most of us are just guessing as to the interpretation of the copyright law, and my initial request for delection was based on the fact that this image was scanned form a magazine. --76.118.227.161 00:14, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete> I have found a web page that answers part of the disputed copyright issue for the years between 1952 and 1994. http://bibliosfera.net/wirtualnakultura the web article states that old (pre 1994) news photos are not protected under the copyright law, and defines news photography as "images that depict a hot (live) historic event. So, the disputed image is not of a live event, but a static portrait. Also, the article states that these rules apply to images taken between 1952 and 1994, and no clauses mentioning retroactive application of the law are noted. To remind other users the disputed image was taken in 1951, thus creating another gray area in this dispute. Finally, the last paragraph gives a "Warning" which states stating:
!UWAGA! Twórca mógłby – jak się wydaje – skorzystać z prawa do ochrony swojej twórczości na podstawie art. 23 k.c., w przypadku korzystania z jego twórczości przez podmioty trzecie, bez zapłaty wynagrodzenia dla twórcy.

  • Can anyone find sure proof of this picture's copyright status, otherwise it should be deleted. The discussion has been going on for a two months. The person who uploaded the image did not provide any additional information on this photo, when asked to do so. Also, the image was allegedly scanned from the "Radio i Telewizja" weekly magazine which was a TV guide... so without additional information how can we be sure that this image is of actual Polish soldiers, and not of some TV program stand-ins. Not to mention that there is a very possibility that this image is violating copyright laws. This picture's status, and subject matter is unclear... thus it should be deleted. --76.118.227.161 01:16, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

KEPT, no proof this photograph was clearly restricted, as required by pre-1994 copyright law in Poland. Unrestricted photos gained no copyright protection, so other regulations (like protection terms etc.) are not relevant to resolution debate. A.J. (talk) 07:50, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is it really from 1890? Evidence? Looks more modern to me 80.187.96.191 19:49, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep, was soll die Vermutung Is it really from 1890? Evidence? Looks more modern to me aussagen? Persönliche Ansichten haben bei Wikipedia keinen Platz. Der Benutzer IP.80.187.96.191 mag Beweise für seine Annahme bringen. Julie Zanders ist 1869 gestorben Von daher kann das Bild auch älter sein. Da aber andere Bilder der Familie Zanders um 1890 entstanden sind, habe ich diese Zeit als den spätesten Zeitraum angegeben, weil sich das genaue Jahr der Entstehung nicht festlegen lässt. Auf jeden Fall ist das Bild älter als 100 Jahre, womit urheberrechtliche Probleme ausgeschlossen sind.--Pingsjong (talk) 11:03, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Elkins_High_School.jpg is not the image that was deleted as far as I can tell. I believe the image deleted was Clements_Elkins_Rivalry.png, my own work. Clements Elkins Trophy.png is also my own work.

Reasoning was "Removing "Clements_Elkins_Rivalry.png", it has been deleted from Commons by EugeneZelenko because: Copyright violation: School logo. Not text only." The Clements_Elkins_Rivalry.png was not a school logo. It is my own work. FBISD (talk) 03:25, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment it is a derivative work, and it is PD as the original work is PD. Jeblad (talk) 18:52, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Whether the original work is in the public domain is yet to be determined. Even if it is in the public domain, the reason given is wrong (because it's not a work of the U.S. Government). LX (talk, contribs) 19:00, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It would appear to be licensed rather than donated. Given the copyright notice, the copyright was obviously not transferred. LX (talk, contribs) 22:55, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think this is precisely the same situation as the Mickey Mouse one. PD-USGov is definitely wrong; the overall poster has a 1941 copyright notice to Appreciate America Inc., and the Donald Duck portion is copyrighted by WDP (Walt Disney Productions). I do not recall seeing any Donald Duck renewals either when I was looking for Mickey Mouse (nor did I find any Appreciate America Inc. renewals). Derivative works are likely heavily compromised by the character copyright, but technically, this drawing (and poster) is likely PD. Carl Lindberg (talk) 04:53, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: No renewal. As for the Mickey poster, some derivative works may not be in the public domain. License changed to {{PD-US-not renewed}}. Yann (talk) 12:14, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Keep per last time; what is keeping Saibo from nomination File:BTM 1916 WW1.jpg for deletion? /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 21:59, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete Too many uncertain things. If it was created in 1926 or later, it was copyrighted in both Germany and Slovenia on the URAA date. "Before 1930" could mean either "before 1926" or "after 1925". It is also dubious if it really is an anonymous work, or if it has been published somewhere, both things affecting the copyright status in Europe and the United States. Unpublished anonymous works are copyrighted for 120 years since creation in the United States and it is unclear if this is older than 120 years or not. --Stefan4 (talk) 13:21, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely right, taken strictly this sentence is nearly impossible to proof for most cases. In my opinion it is sufficient if we can be sure to some extent.

"Please do not re-open without positive evidence that the author is not anonymous." - Well, no, it is the other way round. Also note this requirement:"make sure the author never claimed authorship." (citation of copyright indication tag) Saibo (Δ) 22:41, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If we're required to show conclusive proof that nobody has ever claimed authorship of the image, I doubt there are many PD-whatever-anonymous images that we could keep. Not sure whether such proof would be a reasonable requirement legally. Anonymous works are certainly problematic, but consensus seems to be that we should accept some such works instead of playing it safe and only hosting media when the author is known. Jafeluv (talk) 11:51, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If we do not need any proof and can dump any older-than-70-year photos to Commons we need to change the templates. And that should indicate to reusers that there is totally no proof that this image is free (yes, that is conflicting to Commons' aim and policy).
Yes, most images with those license templates fail completely to justify the use of the template - like this one.

  •  Comment Saibo, this is starting to become disruptive. There is a strong and obvious consensus here that what is needed is not conclusive evidence that the author is unknown, only that reasonable efforts have been made and borne no fruit. Powers (talk) 01:16, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It seemed you want to change something like introducing fair use. Rules are there to be rewritten. ;-) Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 03:19, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
But this is not a fair use case; this is a case where the overwhelming consensus of editors is that this image is, in fact, in the public domain due to anonymity. Repeatedly re-starting discussion won't change that; without additional evidence of some sort, it is not productive and it is bordering on disruptive.

  •  Keep see above --Miha (talk) 21:36, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete There is too little data to prove that the image is in public domain. The burden of proof lies on the uploader or other person arguing for the file to be retained. They have to demonstrate that as far as can reasonably be determined, the file is in the public domain or is properly licensed. The original photo seems to be kept by the Military Museum of Slovenian Armed Forces. It should be retained in Commons only if:
a) The owner of the image ascertains with an OTRS-confirmed email that they do not know who created the image or a source is found directly stating that the author is unknown, and it is confirmed that the image was first published more than 70 years ago or more than 70 years after it was created.
b) The owner provides the name of the author or a source is found containing it and it is confirmed that he or she died in 1944 or earlier.
Possible sources[6] of information are, in addition to the photo library of the museum, J. Švajncer, Slovenska vojska 1918-1919 (COBISS 17207040) and e. g. Sava J. Mikić: Istorija jugoslovenskog vazduhoplovstva [History of the Yugoslav Aviation] (Naša krila, Beograd, 1933, COBISS 16432391), subtitled "sa 615 slika u tekstu" [with 615 images in text].[7] --Eleassar (t/p) 09:28, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete Commons images need to be free in both the United States and the source country.

If not anonymous, it might be copyrighted in both the United States and in the source country, and the website doesn't seem to tell whether it is anonymous or not. --Stefan4 (talk) 13:26, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The photograph of said banknote may be copyrighted in some cases, so just to be safe I have cropped the picture and removed the perspective to meet "Faithful reproductions of two-dimensional works" criteria. --M5 (talk) 21:52, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I found another media mention in the history of the file: it's an article from Novaya Gazeta newspaper: Диана Хачатрян. «Жулики и воры» пошли по рукам. Недовольные голосуют «креативным рублем» // Новая газета. 11.10.2011: "Одним из первых распространителей «вирусной рекламы» стала жительница Челябинска Ирина Шадрина, разместившая на своей странице в Facebook изображение «путинки», которую получила в качестве сдачи в магазине. Щедро растиражированную средствами массовой информации новость... " Apparently, the news on exactly this photograph of the banknote was, according to the reliable source, "profusely disseminated by media" which confirms educational value of the picture. --M5 (talk) 23:01, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    1) The fact that the act of creating it was illegal is irrelevant. Putin has come to power partially by organising terrorist acts against people in Moscow in order to gain support for destruction of Chechen republic. That was illegal, but making a media depicting that is still legal. 2) Anonymously created images, for example graffiti, are welcome on Commons. 3) What happens on Wikipedia stays on Wikipedia. 4) Putin is in fact a leader of the party United Russia, making that statement is in no way outing him as such. 5) OTRS for anonymous work is not needed. 6) Central Bank of Russia holds no copyright on this due to de minimis and the fact that they did not contract anybody to write this slogan. 7) Slogans are not copyrightable. 8) The fact that the slogan criticises United Russia is of no consequence. VolodyA! V Anarhist (converse) 05:14, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Agree, with some corrections: 1) Legality of depicted act is indeed irrelevant to the question of having such picture on Commons (see Category:Burning money), moreover pencil writing on banknotes is legal anyway 2) It's not just some "inscription of unknown origin" but the image was already distributed by Russian mass media 3) agree 4) agree, Putin is indeed the leader of the party known among it's critics as "Party of crooks and thieves", the image is not defamatory (especially compared to "Obamafascism" and "Bush wanted dead" examples above) and again the picture was already distributed by media 5) The photograph was attributed to Irina Shedrina by newsru.com and Novaya Gazeta, no additional confirmation needed 6) What is the "Central bank license" Vizu talks about? Russian money are not copyrighted per article 1259 of Civil Code regardless of filename of the work, Central bank has nothing to do with it 7); 8) agree. --M5 (talk) 12:46, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep (strong) from copyright POV. (1) There is no any administrative or criminal sanction for spoiling of banknotes in Russia (compare with US). The art installations/appliqués with both historical and/or present-day banknotes are enough represented in Russia. The spoiled banknote is not forged one, it's still legal instrument of payment - the respective instruction (for Russian banknotes) from Central Bank of Russia (CBR) is very very liberal (especially compared with similar instruction from Russian Post for stamps). This case is not first one, also it is known the similar cases with inscription "Кадаффи жив!" (en:Gaddafi is live!). The CBR representer had commented that CBR were blaming such action, but CBR recognized such spoiled banknotes as legal instrument of payment. In addition, on Commons and other sister projects the copyright law is dominant. If any Russian Law (not copyright/trademark or similar laws) deprecates spoiling/falsification of Russian state/official symbols, it is unimpotant for our purposes. Any (im)possible administrative or criminal sanction in this case will be addressed to spoiler of banknote, not to holder, photographer, editor, reader and etc. (2) And again about Russian Post and stamps. Yes, in Russian practice (а) the author (copyright holder) of stamp art (made especially for stamp or adopted) keeps all his/her copyrights for other usages of work than stamp usage; and (b) the stamp is official symbol only if it is stamp (see File:Nicaragua1 1913.jpg in en:Postage stamp) - country name (Russia/Rossija/Россия), denomination and some part of perforations (if it is specified) must be represented. So, many derivative works with Russian stamps are impossible (and it is known problem for Commons). But, banknotes are not stamps. In Russian/CBR practice the author of banknote art passed all his/her copyrights on it - so, any part of issued banknote (only issued banknotes are state symbols) is uncopyrighted. (3) The discussed additional words on banknotes are uncopyrighted/trivial in both US and Russian Law. Alex Spade (talk) 10:13, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
     Delete (weak) from encyclopaedic POV. Yes, such actions on banknotes ("Putin is leader of thief party!", "Gaddafi is live!" and some others) are known. But we have not any information about scale of such spoiling (absolute or relative number of cases) and number of publications about these cases is small enough, so Notability is very/enough disputed. Moreover, we do not know (see Verifiability), what have we got here - wag the tail or wag the dog? It is enough possible that journalist has got only rumours and has not created news about specific/real fact (real banknote) but self-created fact for news. Alex Spade (talk) 10:45, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, but your "encyclopedic" and "notability" arguments are not relevant to this discussion since "Commons is not Wikipedia, and files uploaded here do not necessarily need to comply with the Neutral point of view and No original research requirements imposed by many of the Wikipedia sites [...] Examples of subject matter disputes that are not appropriate here include: [...] Photographs: “This is propaganda”", see COM:NPOV. Your "wag the dog" theory goes there too. Also what number of publications do you consider small? "Novaya Gazeta" claims that news about the banknotes were "profusely disseminated by media" [12] and there is indeed a great number of such publications, here is a sample: [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] (news.yandex.ru finds many more). Some publications use the same image while others are about totally independent cases, such as a story of member of regional parliament being denied lunch because of "just another case" of inscribed banknotes [27]. If Russian media finds stories about inscribed banknotes valuable enough to publish it, then the picture apparently has educational value (as in “providing knowledge; instructional or informative”, see COM:SCOPE). And the project scope conformance is sufficient condition for file to be Kept per Deletion policy. --M5 (talk) 14:56, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Repeat - weak or even very weak. Yes, Commons is not Wikipedia. But Commons is not repository for all and sundry (for anything). Ok, you have helped with additional sources/publication about problem of banknote spoiling in whole. But we still have question, how many cases were registered. Alex Spade (talk) 16:35, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Apparently a great many: Novaya article claims that "Russia is being covered with the wave of protest banknotes" now, and last year such banknotes were "endemic". But the real answer to the question "how many cases?" is "enough for media to turn attention", even if it was a single one. For example, the "Obamafascism" poster on picture above is probably a single copy for a single event, yet it is on Commons as it provides non-neutral but valuable information on political movement. The discussed banknote also provides valuable-though-non-neutral information on political movement and has additional value by being some interesting image widely circulated by media. Any of these two qualities would be enough to keep the file. --M5 (talk) 21:00, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

let me quote the bold text from the copyright status indication template: "This template must not be used on its own." It is.

Furthermore it is claimed by the uploader: "The copyright to this work was owned by the federal authorities of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia".

Do we know the following?

  • a) it is a work of known authorship and the author died before January 1st, 1949 –  Not done – if the author is known and died after 1949, the file can’t be used as PD-Croatia
  • b) it is an anonymous work and it was published before January 1st, 1949 –  Not done – even if the work was published as a stamp before 1949, the file can’t be used if this is not an anonymous work

Is the following provided?

  • To the uploader: Please provide the authorship and publication details.  Not done – of course not, since trolls like „AP1929“ always refer to their “archives” or “personal collections”. --Polarlys (talk) 01:15, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep. This is obvious case b) - an anonymous work and it was published before January 1st, 1949 – The photo was obviously taken by official photographer (somebody that every head of a state has-person that is the author but not the copyright holder of the photo so it is irrelevant who he/she is or whether was dead on January 1st, 1949 ) for official purposes (as it can be seen from this stylish pose of the photographed person). This is a kind of photo usually made and sold/given through propaganda (again-which every had of a state has! ). The original uploader (AP1929) is obviously a fan of Ante Pavelić, so he scanned it or digitalized it in some way. A clear {{PD-Croatia}} case. So, Polarlys, your opinion about AP1929 without strong evidence is not relevant for this issue.Quahadi Añtó 13:34, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Your fiction about 'official photographers' is wrong. The author is a natural person, copyright in a work belongs to its author by the mere act of creation of the work. Read the law of your country and please forget your explanation as quickly as you invented it. We have enough people on Commons who claim some 'governments' or some 'officials' beeing authors of works while in fact their claim is not supported by the law or not covered by any evidence of employment or transfer of intelectual property rights. On Commons such claims of 'official photographer' are rather used as bad excuses for "i have no idea who the author is and I did nothing to find out" or "i dont care". --Martin H. (talk) 18:51, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Would you please stop with that meaningless accusations?? ( 'fiction' , 'invented theory' ..)It is clear that this photo was published before January 1st, 1949 . Author is unknown so far (you provided zero (0) evidence that contradicts to that!) so this is {{PD-Croatia}} case. Even if the photo was not made by official photographer. Are you trying to say that Pavelić did not have own photos and Croatian mail had to steal it from the independent photographer?? Smth hard to believe, right?? Quahadi Añtó 06:46, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I said nothing regarding publication or not, unknown or not. I just tried to explain to you that your phrase "obviously taken by official photographer" is obviously meaningless. --Martin H. (talk) 16:33, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Quahadi, you are a friendly person, aren’t you? So please stay calm and don’t attack other users. I can easily open up a magazine at a store, look into a book or just use an image search on the internet: Often I will find no name next to a photo. But that doesn’t make this work an anonymous work, because an anonymous work is a work where nobody claimed authorship and no authorship can be established with some research. The one who claims a work to be an anonymous one is the person that has to provide evidence. --Polarlys (talk) 20:10, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As requested by the template: “Always mention where the image comes from, as far as possible, and make sure the author never claimed authorship.” What someone who wants to keep the photo could do: Provide a proper source (archive, book, not some random web search result).

  • Delete - no indication this photo is PD in the US; Commons policy requires all images to be PD in the country of origin and the United States, where the servers are physically located. Even assuming for the sake of argument that this photo's author died before the 1949 cut-off, its copyright expired would have expired in 1999, which means that it would have been restored by the URAA in the United States. The URAA adds 95 years from the date of publication, which means some time circa 2038, you can re-upload this photo to Commons. Parsecboy (talk) 21:44, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Explain then who took the picture, and provide a pre-1949 death date for him or her. Failing that, provide a pre-1946 date of publication with an explicitly anonymous credit.

You seem to not understand my point. I'll try to rephrase it. That we, here in 2012, do not know who took the photo because it's some 70 years old does not' mean the same thing as the photo having been published anonymously. In all likelihood, this image was published with credit to the author. That no one has spent the time to figure it out does not mean it doesn't exist. Parsecboy (talk) 01:54, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"image was published with credit to the author" Yes, the image was published. Yes, there was an author-the person that clicked the button on a camera. But that person obviously is not copyright holder as they have transferred it to Independents State of Croatia in 1943. (or even before). The author is anonymous or dead, otherwise they would claim their rights long time ago or simply is not credited.Quahadi Añtó 05:53, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I do not think you understand copyright law. The creator holds ownership over the image simply by the virtue of creating it. That you or I do not know his or her name does not mean s/he no longer holds copyright. They also do not need to come here to claim copyright. Copyright also does not stop when the author dies. Do you have any proof that the creator of this image transferred their rights to this photograph to the government of Croatia? If not, we have to assume that the creator of the photo still retains copyright. Let me say this again, so perhaps you will understand: a photo published explicitly as "anonymous" is one thing. Not knowing the author of a 70-year old photo is another thing. They are not the same thing. If you think they are, you are wrong, plain and simple.
Perhaps more importantly, no one has explained how this image is PD in the United States. As I said above, all images on Commons have to be PD in the country of origin and the US, since Wikimedia's servers are located here. Parsecboy (talk) 11:37, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What do you want me to do?? bring certificate from court that person is anonymous???Quahadi Añtó 05:45, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If you can do that, yes. For the image to be legally considered an anonymous work, the photo must have been originally published with an anonymous credit. If you can find the first publication of the image, and it is credited anonymously, then we're fine. Otherwise, since we cannot prove the image was published anonymously, we can't use it. We host images solely by what we can prove, not what we think or wish was true. Parsecboy (talk) 11:42, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, I got the sarcasm, I just ignored it. I don't need a court certificate for those images, because they are either derivatives of clearly acceptable images, or they have pre-1923 dates of publication, which renders them PD in the US. I'm glad to see you've accepted the fact that your line of argument is invalid, and have thus turned to attacking me as a means to prove your case.

have thus turned to attacking me

Mirror , oh , mirror...

FYI, there is no such as sacred cow! AP1929 is not sacred cow and neither YOU are. Whole this DR is based on prejudice towards AP1929 as editor. (" he was doing crap on en.wiki so this must be the same thing" ). Which is a heavy violation of "assume good faith" principle. my "bad" assumption here is no worse than yours. Pot calling the kettle black Quahadi Añtó 18:45, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Up till now, you have proved you have no understanding of copyright law, now it seems clear you do not know how to read. Let me try again, perhaps if I bold it, you'll get it. The images I upload are either derivatives of already acceptably licensed images or are published before 1923, which means they are automatically in the public domain in the US.
You apparently missed the point, so I'll spell it out: you stopped arguing your line of reasoning, because apparently you lost faith in it. Ad hominems are the last result of the defeated.
I could care less about AP1929; I have had no interaction with him/her, and have no prejudice.

You keep accusing me for misunderstanidng copyright law , lack of reading skills and you are saying I am attacking you? This is so tragical!

Answer me a simple question: Have Takabeg or Pieter Kuiper (or anyone else) provided any evidence that this image is PD in the US? Parsecboy (talk) 20:07, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
A quick simple answer: one image that is in PD in certain country can not be re-copyrighted in another. Not just images from Croatia but all over the world. Or US laws are over?? So , this photo, as well as these photos [36] [37] is PD.Quahadi Añtó 07:47, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Again, you should actually try to learn about copyright law before you start arguing about it, because that is exactly what the URAA did. There are plenty of images that are public domain in the country of origin now, but were not when the URAA came into effect in 1996, and so had their copyrights extended in the US (for example, many of Willy Stöwer's paintings that were painted after 1923 cannot be hosted on Commons because they were still copyrighted in 1996, even though they are currently PD in Germany). Parsecboy (talk) 11:56, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oh ,really ??

There are tons of images (btw, do you know what ton means?? ) that are not published in the USA. Neither before 1996 or after or ever. as these ones. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Willy_St%C3%B6wer as vast majority of these ones: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Painters_from_Germany

Besides that , how in the world we can check so, these ridiculos criteria will maked them deleted. Are you intending to start mass DR?

Unfortunately for Pieter and you, the real world has lawsuits, and we cannot in good conscience allow reusers of Wikimedia content to be placed in legal jeopardy because we told them it's "free".

I'm not talking about Wikimedia being sued, I'm talking about end users who take Wikimedia content and use it elsewhere. Numerous people have been sued for using material we said was free content, which turned out to not be the case. There's a discussion about it related to this image everyone was up in arms about earlier this year, though I can't be bothered to find it.
As much fun as this discussion is, not you or anyone else have given a good reason why this image is in the public domain in the United States, which is a fundamental requirement on Commons. Parsecboy (talk) 11:46, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

and here we go on with this theater of the absurd (see what is absurdity and absurdity ) To review the facts in again:

This is photo anonymous photographer probably from Independent State of Croatia . That country was dissolved in 1945 and has no legal successors. Their successors might be either Croatia either Bosnia and Herzegovina. I am familiar about its copyright laws but it was published before January 1st, 1949 that makes it {{PD-Croatia}} . NDH territory was later in Yugoslavia etc. The author is unknown (very probably daed for a long time)
On the other hand, what is not discussed yet... why is by default taken as granted that AP1929 is not the owner of photo?. Misstrust or what?Quahadi Añtó 15:03, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
For the love of all that's holy, not knowing the author now is not the same thing as being published anonymously. They are not the same thing. Why can you not understand that distinction? Oh, right.
Being PD in Croatia is only half the question. You have yet to even address the copyright status of the photo in the US (apart from questioning why it matters). Oh, right.
Where is AP1929's proof that the creator of the image legally granted him or her all rights to the image? Parsecboy (talk) 16:47, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Let me take a different tack: to prove that the image was published anonymously, you have to find the first publication (perhaps in a newspaper or book), with an explicit "anonymous" credit. Simply ot knowing the author's name 70 years after the photo was taken (or not wanting to spend the time figuring it out, which is what is going on here) does not cut it. Otherwise, we can upload any photo we want if we have a plausible argument that you or I do not know who took it, which is the definition of absurdity.

No reason for last close given. Saibo (Δ) 22:42, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

While I recognize that "published anonymously" and "we don't know the photographer's name" are two very different things, it seems to me that Saibo's reading of this template requires the impossible burden of proving a negative -- that the image was in fact published anonymously and that the author never disclosed his authorship.
Perhaps the template needs re-wording, or should be removed from our arsenal, because as it is, I think the only legitimate use for it is on images that were clearly marked as "anonymous" on first publication.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 12:13, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the template is usable only on a tiny fraction of the images which currently use it. Also see my comment here. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 15:00, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep - do not give in to Jim and Saibo who want to deleta basically all old photos of which the photographer is unknown. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 22:11, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Pieter, you misrepresent me in two ways. First, although I believe that this particular template is not applicable here, I offered no opinion on this image. Second, I also have no particular desire to delete any image -- Commons is richer for every image we keep. I do, however, require that we obey the law and Commons policy on every image -- which means that sometimes we must delete an image simply because we do not have enough information. You have a tendency to conflate "anonymous" with "unknown to Commons". As you certainly know they are not the same.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 22:25, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No misrepresentation, as you wrote that you want to delete the template. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 22:32, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - not knowing the photographer's name is not the same thing as the image having been published anonymously.

template's conditions still not fulfilled (see last DR above). The picture was only published on some WW1 fan page (or what is it). What do they know about the photo? Would they surely know the author if somebody (from the "public") know him? Was this photo never published in a book?

I agree, the file description explains: "because it was published more than 70 years ago without a public claim of authorship", this explanation must bear up against the question: Where was it published more than 70 years ago without a public claim if authorship?

  •  Comment I see a 'vote' saying "ignore it", I see an opinion saying that the author is unknown because it is unknown in "most" cases, I see a closure saying "{{PD-EU-no author disclosure}} seems to apply"... Sorry, but thats not arguments. The file description says that the file "was published more than 70 years ago without a public claim of authorship". Can we confirm this with a source? Where was it published? If this cant be answered the file should be removed from the project because of unclear copyright status.  Delete. And because of unclear information. It appears to me that the "unknown" author is not added to the file description because various sources confirm or suggest it, but written there for the only purpose to upload something to Wikimedia Commons. That is manipulation of historic facts for a very strange reason. --Martin H. (talk) 23:05, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Identified as non-sensical (w:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fundamental model).

Ruud 20:33, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since when has original research been a deletion issue for Commons? This isn't Wikipedia ya know! --Fred the Oyster (talk) 21:19, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Note the qualifier "non-sensical". Or do you think it's within Commons' mission of "making available public domain and freely-licensed educational media content" (emphasis mine) to mislead people into believing that it's possible to construct a right-angled triangle with sides of e, π and φ?
Ruud 22:31, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
And that wonderful display of gobbledy-gook changes what? Sometimes it's just as important to know what isn't correct, and knowing what pi is does not an education make. Education takes many different forms. As it happens none of those files make any sense to me at all, yet strangely I still know that "original research" isn't a deletion criteria for commons, who knew eh? --Fred the Oyster (talk) 23:38, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Fred, while it greatly saddens me that the Pythagorean theorem hasn't been a part of your education, please don't focus on the "original research" part here (I've even removed this term from my rationale above). The important part here is that the images are non-sensical, ergo non-educational. —Ruud 00:26, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
So put them in a "non-sensical" category. And yes I know Pythagorus, what I don't know is mathematical notation. I'm an illustrator, not a mathematician. What I do know is that knowing how not to do something is also educational. I see no harm in these images. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 08:58, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No, because "non-sensical" images not in the scope of Commons. These images do not even demonstrate how not to do something, they simply depict something which is untrue (i.e. that, according to one of the images, e2 + φ2 = π2). You may not be mathematically mature enough to even see what the image means, I am mathematically mature enough to immediately recognize it a nonsense, but imagine the large group of people that fall somewhere in between us. They will might be mislead into believing that equation does hold. In that sense the image is anti-educational, looking at it it might actually make you dumber. —Ruud 11:39, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm, "not mathematically mature" eh? Talk about patronising? "They simply depict something which is untrue", so on that basis are we to delete any optical illusion imagery? You really don't give people much trust do you? Let me see now, images in a category called "non-sensical" yet you still believe that people who are 'mathematically between you and I' could believe it/them to be true? Do you really believe that people below your mathematical ability lack commonsense and reasoning ability? Is that patronising, arrogance or simply a language problem on your part? --Fred the Oyster (talk) 11:53, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Optical illusions are real, so obviously no. Yes, again, I do believe people can be misled by these images, especially without the context of the article in which they originally appeared. These images have no educational value or possible use, as opposed to images of optical illusions. —Ruud 15:00, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Fred, strangely you don't know that files not useful for education purposes or in use in Wikimedia projects aren't in scope.--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:56, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strangely enough I do, but that wasn't the original nomination rationale. Likewise "not in use in Wikimedia projects" is also not a legitimate rationale. I wonder how many images here aren't in use in any of the projects? I'm guessing quite a large percentage. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 08:58, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
COM:SCOPE says that "A media file which is neither realistically useful for an educational purpose, nor legitimately in use as discussed above falls outside the scope of Wikimedia Commons." Don't try to teach your grandmother to suck eggs.--Prosfilaes (talk) 12:11, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oh I agree, they are "fucking useless", but then again there are lots of fucking useless files around these here parts. If you'll notice I haven't actually !voted one way or the other, and I certainly haven't voted for a keep. But between you and I there's a wee bit of academic patronisation and arrogance going on around here, so in those situations I go into wind-up mode. incidentally, tell your Grandmother about Heinz's Salad Cream. it goes wonderfully with eggs. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 13:32, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Because why would we care what someone educated in a subject thinks about the usefulness of images on the subject?--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:08, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Because regardless of education 1)It only takes so much education to know if it's right or wrong, anything beyond that is irrelevant. 2) having an extended education on a particular subject doesn't validate someone's subjective opinion, i.e. right or wrong is objective, knowing if something is useful is subjective. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 09:44, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There is absolutely no way in which these images could be reused by anyone but their author. Do you have concrete suggestions for their usage and, perhaps more importantly, for updated descriptions of the images (and could you please apply those those the images as well.) —Ruud 10:41, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You wouldn't be trying to offer opinion as fact now would you Ruud? "There is absolutely no way" seems a little black & white for which is only a subjective opinion after all, don't you think? I just cannot resist this bit, but here goes... do you have a citation or proof to back up that assertion? --Fred the Oyster (talk) 11:09, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I also think File:Vesica piscis square roots.png could be kept. But is there any other file which is correct and could be kept? I "corrected" the [[:File:E - PHI - PI Vesica piscis.png]. I think its useless now, isn't it? --McZusatz (talk) 07:20, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(In the case that in the process of clearing the copyright status it is found out that the work is orphan, it is not allowed to publish it at the Dlib portal.) Orphan works are defined as those where even after a reasonable search it is not possible to identify or find out all the copyright holders. In addition, according to the same document (pg. 20), the works whose author died in 1945 or later are still copyrighted in Slovenia.

Yes, the creator is therefore not anonymous. If it is therefore not documented in reasonable time (usually 7 days) who he or she is and that the image is in the public domain or under a free license, the image should be deleted.

The discussion at Commons:Deletion_requests/File:"Appreciate_America._Come_On_Gang._All_Out_for_Uncle_Sam"_(Mickey_Mouse)"_-_NARA_-_513869.tif was clear that there is a visual copyright in distinctive characters and that where later works apparently enter into the public domain, there is still a derivative copyright on those elements. Although there are numerous "comic book" sources that state that these cartoons are "public domain" - there are no good legal sources that state that.
