Image:Kruger logo wagon.jpg

[edit]

No fair use of logos in Commons.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 16:51, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am expanding my nomination to all of Maksim's uploads. That user appears to have been carelessly using a bot to transfer to Commons images from other Wikipedias, many with questionable licensing tags (leaving over 150 complaints on its user talk page), and abruptly stopped editing Commons at 11:44 (UTC) on 9 April 2006. I'm sorry I didn't do this (nominate all of the user's uploads) yesterday, but I didn't have sufficient information, and I didn't know I was allowed to do this. Now, I have sufficient information, and I have been informed that I am allowed to do this.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 16:51, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The "Kruger logo wagon.jpg" is from a wagon that used to belong to Paul Kruger (1825-1904). I don't think copyright can be of any concern in this case. Thuresson 22:07, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The underlying work would appear to still be covered by the Berne Convention's "minimal term of 50 years after the life of the authors", HOWEVER, new research based on the South African Copyright Act has shown the following:

Duration of Copyright in terms of the South African Copyright Act.

This depends on the type of work that has been created. Generally, the term of copyright is 50 years, subject to the following:

  • Literary, musical or artistic works - copyright exists for the life of the author plus fifty years following death, calculated from the end of the year the author died in or 50 years from the date of first publication, performance in public, offering for sale of records thereof or the broadcasting thereof , whichever is earlier
Assuming from the above that Paul Kruger or one of his ancestors commissioned this artistic work and it was first published on his wagon before his death in 1904, copyright on it expired on or before 31 December 1954.


Conclusions:
  1. The underlying work is subject to {{PD-South-Africa}}.
  2. The photograph of the underlying work is subject to {{GFDL-user-w|en|English Wikipedia|Stephantom}}.
  3. The rest of Maksim's uploads are still suspect.

From what I understand, he is now moving free images from local wikis. He is being careless and is also uploading non-free images (that are claimed to be free at the local wikis)... -- Cat chi? 17:06, 12 May 2007 (UTC) (copied from this edit)[reply]

Image kept, with PD and GFDL tag. I have not deleted Maksim's other uploads, as they need to be checked individually. / Fred J 09:38, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
