File:Hand of epigyny.jpg

This file was deleted because there is no freedom of panorama in South Korea. (Per COM:FOP SK)

See also Commons:Deletion requests/File:Hand of Coexistence.jpg.

However, when I participated in this discussion, I confirmed that this image was applied DM.

This photo showed the shore with the hand-shaped sculpture.

So, if the file is renamed to "Shore of Pohang", the hand sculpture in this photo is DM, so it's allowed in Commons.

Ox1997cow (talk) 06:40, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose If the Hand were not in the image, it would be an image of a nondescript rocky shore with a town in the background and would not be kept on Commons. It is clear that the only reason this might be allowed on Commons is the presence of the copyrighted hand. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:14, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

@Jameslwoodward:  Comment I know that the photo is a photo of the rocky shore of Pohang, near New Millennium Park. The hand-shaped sculpture is incidental. Just write the description and file name correctly. Ox1997cow (talk) 15:56, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
Nonsense. The image has no educational value without the sculpture and if the sculpture were edited out, it would be deleted for that reason. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:46, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
If there is an encyclopedic article about the place, and it has no image, then I don't think a picture of seemingly bland scenery would be entirely "useless" there. I don't know how much of the scenery would remain in such an edited image, though. whym (talk) 13:32, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
  • @Ox1997cow: Did you consider uploading a new version that can be used on a Korean Wikipedia page (or any other Wikimedia site) without the sculpture? If scope is the only issue, we don't delete an image as long as other Wikimedia sites want to use the image (COM:INUSE). https://commons-delinquent.toolforge.org/index.php?image=Hand_of_Coexistence-edit.jpg shows that the related image was in use at multiple Wikimedia sites before deletion. Perhaps such a new edited version could be the replacement? This diff does not suggest that the sculpture was the reason for inclusion. I don't know how much of the scenery remains in the image after such editing, and if you are not the photographer, we might need a temporary undeletion for editing, though. whym (talk) 13:32, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
@Whym: Sorry, but I don't have any photos associated with it. Ox1997cow (talk) 14:33, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
@Whym and Ox1997cow: I have cropped the hand out, leaving as much of the imege as posible. If you find it useful, please fix the image description and name. If not, it will likely be deleted as out of scope. Ankry (talk) 18:19, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

File:Slavka Taskova Paoletti. Ritratto degli anni '70 . Fotografo Ruggero Tavanti.png

== Slavka Taskova portrait has permission ==

(File:Slavka Taskova Paoletti. Ritratto degli anni '70 . Fotografo Ruggero Tavanti.png)

The file was deleted in spite of a written document sent to prove its rightful origin. 

The mentioned pic was taken by a professional photographer of a small town and he was paid . so he gave MRs Taskova the rights under payment but it was the 70's and in such small set up there was no written contract, So the heir of the photographer, who is now dead ,has written a declaration where he asserts Mrs Taskova has the rights of the pic.

File:Aishakhatun.jpg

Hi, this is my profile picture and I am unsure as to why it was deleted (cannot understand the copyright violation code given). I'd like to request it's undeletion. I use it in my profile page and is supposed to be linked in Outreach_programs/Success_stories soon. I'd also like to link it to my foundation profile page AKhatun_(WMF). Thanks! Aisha Khatun (talk) 14:39, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

@Aisha Khatun:
  1. This image originates from Facebook; Facebook license is not compatible with Commons requirements
  2. This image does not seem to be a selfie; and author = the photographer, not the photo subject
  3. We need an evidence that the declared license is from the photographer, if a photo is not made by the uploader
  4. We generally do not accept on-wiki self-licensing if a newly uploaded photo is low resolution, or without EXIF info. This one is low resolution and without EXIF info
  5. We do not manage WMF website and we cannot care or control image licenses declared there (if any). If the photo originated from WMF website and was initially published there under a Commons-compatible free license there, it would be OK. But the metadata says that it originates from Facebook...
The solution is: the photographer needs to follow COM:OTRS process. Ankry (talk) 18:01, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

File:2021 Kazakh election flyers.jpg

Obviously posters are main subject off this photo, so de minimis claims are bogus. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 13:53, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
@EugeneZelenko: But overriding a DR decision through speedy deletion is out of process, even if we disagree with it. I  Support undeletion and reopenning the DR unless User:P199 has also changed their mind. Ankry (talk) 16:45, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
It's very reasonable to ask question why deletion request was closed that way, especially taking in account absence of freedom of panorama in Kazakhstan. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 17:08, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
The posters are DM in my opinion, low-res, no details visible. But it could be borderline. --P 1 9 9  ✉ 17:41, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose It's a photo of a posting board that has twelve copyrighted posters on it. There is very little else in the image around the edges of the board. It obviously fails the DM test -- "Would a casual observer notice if the copyrighted work(s) were removed?" Several photos on the posters are recognizable and the poster headlines and most of the sub-heads are legible, although the body text is not. .     Jim . . .

Files in Category:Interior of Taipei 101

According to TIPO, photographing merely interior decor is OK. The office also mention 拍攝"室內"裝潢的行為是將實施結果的實體物為拍攝，並不涉及著作權之侵害 (translate: The act of shooting "interior decoration is to take the actual object as a result of the implementation and does not involve copyright infringement) , so it is OK for Interior architecture photography/video. However, it still doesn't have any conclusion in Commons talk:Copyright rules by territory/Taiwan#Interior architecture, OK? and the above file cannot clearly see any artwork. I disagree with administrator Jameslwoodward say " Taiwan FoP does not cover interiors". If this happens, there have more than 10000 images about Taiwan will be deleted, including ALL the buildings interior photos.

Meanwhile, in this law firm, it mentions As for whether the internal design of a building is protected, it should be judged by whether it is "original" and "creative." Corridors, ceilings, stairs, etc. are all structures common to buildings, and cannot be called "works". Chinese: 這裡「至於建築物內部的設計是否受到保護，應該以其有無「原創性」及「創作性」來判斷，像是走廊、天花板、樓梯等都是一般建築都具備的結構，不能稱為著作。」Those deleted photos only can see the structure of the interior, it is difficult to see and even NO artistic elements.--Wpcpey (talk) 14:30, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

File:Senator Mark Wyland.jpg

I want to reupload the picture. I saw that someone did and it got deleted because at the time they didn't use PD-CAGov tag. I'm not sure if it's the same picture or not from the Archive Website. If it is, I'm requesting for it to be undeleted. Dillon251992 (talk) 21:50, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

 Support As no photo author information is provided on the abovementioned page, we can consider that "Copyright © 2013 State of California" applies to it, IMO. And the photo seems to be public record as described in {{PD-CAGov}}. However, another opinion is welcome. Ankry (talk) 07:20, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose As noted at {{PD-CAGov}}, works created by photographers or others who are not employees of California or one of its subdivisions have an enforceable copyright. I would guess it is 50/50 that this formal portrait was taken by an non-government photo studio. Politicians generally want the best image possible and that is more likely to come from an outsider than an government photographer. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:50, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: As per Jim, {{PD-CAGov}} requires the work be "created by a government unit." It is not uncommon that government entities hire private photographers, and no evidence is on offer that this image was created by a government unit. As either is genuinely possible, COM:PRP applies. Mere hosting on a government website is not evidence of, and has nothing whatsoever to do with, authorship. This is especially so in the absence of a general site disclaimer that content is public domain, and "Copyright © 2013 State of California" directly contradicts, and is mutually exclusive of, public domain assertions (see also 17 U.S.C. § 105(a): copyright related to government authored works and works transfered to the government are very different notions.) As an example, contrast JPL terms which say "Unless otherwise noted, images and video on JPL public web sites (public sites ending with a jpl.nasa.gov address) may be used for any purpose without prior permission" with the terms of the legislature.ca.gov site which say "[s]ome of the information presented on this web site may be protected by copyright." Again, per COM:EVID, "In all cases, the burden of proof lies on the uploader or other person arguing for the file to be retained to demonstrate that as far as can reasonably be determined: the file is in the public domain." (underline added) This has not been done. --Эlcobbola talk 13:53, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

File:IMO helping to mitigate the impacts of MV Wakashio oil spill in Mauritius - 50236896003.jpg - deleted as copyright violation but evidence of compatible license exists

Hi. File was deleted as a copyright violation. However, the file appears to be part of a set produced by w:International Maritime Organization: image in question, whole set and published under CC-BY 2.0. The first instance of this photo appears to be this tweet by a local journalist, but the tweet makes no attempt to claim the image as their own work or offer any attribution.
The image also appears to be part of a set, and 7 photos are on IMO's Flickr and only one is on the journalists Twitter.
The image is clearly taken from an airborne vehicle, likely a drone and possibly a helicopter; it seems unlikely that a private individual would get permission from the local government to flyover an active disaster site, but it seems more plausible that a UN agency did.

While it is possible that a UN agency is engaging in systemic copyright infringement on Flickr a more simple explanation seems to be that a local journalists got a copy of IMO's photo before IMO had a chance to publish it on their Flickr and rushed to Twitter with it.

Given that, on balance, this image appears to belongs to IMO and is published under a compatible license, could you please restore it? Thanks Melmann (talk) 23:01, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

@Melmann: The tweet is earlier than the IMO publication so it constitutes significant doubt who the author is. Especially, as the IMO publication is not helpful here (no EXIF, no author attribution as required). If IMO is the exclusive copyright holder of this photo, we need some evidence for this. (eg. an evidence that Guillaume Gouges, the tweet author, has got the photo from IMO, or that the photographer was an IMO employee). We assume that the earliest publication identifies the author unless we have evidence otherwise. Ankry (talk) 14:05, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
Greetings. There is talk page correspondence about this already. I give whym permission to incorporate and archive from my talk page. Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 21:37, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
Given the uncertainty, I would like to see permission (or at least behind-the-scenes source information) for this from Guillaume Gouges or IMO on their websites or social media, or via OTRS/VRTS.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 00:38, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
Preceding conversation between Ellin Beltz and Whym

Can you take a look at Commons:Deletion requests/File:WAKASHIO...oil spill in Mauritius.jpg again? You deleted a file that was not nominated for deletion - the target of a redirect created after the deletion nomination. (Perhaps I should have closed the DR.) I believe it was originally published at [2] with acceptable license. whym (talk) 11:19, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi Whym: The image was clearly copyright violation https://www.3bmeteo.com/giornale-meteo/mauritius--aumenta-la-perdita-di-petrolio--la-petroliera-si-sta-spezzando-377914. The image at the file location you gave was identical to the image which was nominated for deletion. Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 18:01, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
Would you take a look at the file pages, not just the images again? The images were identical, but the file pages were not: the nominated file page contained no source, while the not-nominated file page contained a source which lead me to the Flickr URL I gave above. Do you think https://www.flickr.com/photos/62937028@N02/50236896003/ is not its original publication (or the Flickr image is different from the deleted one)? I believe it passed license review. Who was the reviewer? whym (talk) 23:15, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi Whym: If you look at the source above you will see the photo is credited, and not to the flickr account. Therefore the flickr account uploaded something that wasn't theirs, and we can't keep it. I have no idea who reviewed it, that's not really important. It could have been a bot. Flickr reviews are fairly regularly overturned when people take a serious look at the images. Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 18:15, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
Don't you think it's possible for www.3bmeteo.com to make a mistake in the credit line? Many web pages misattribute photographs. In this case, it's the International Maritime Organization, a well recognized organization whose specialty is ships, who owns the Flickr account and is (at least indirectly) claiming authorship here. Nikkei Asia attributes the same image to the International Maritime Organization. [3] Is there anything that makes 3BMeteo.com more trustworthy than Nikkei Asia and the IMO on this matter? whym (talk) 10:54, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi Whym: It's precisely that uncertainty which means we can't keep it. Notice that the actual source image is larger that the one which was uploaded here (1280x853 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Efd3u_FWkAE8u10?format=jpg&name=large & https://twitter.com/guillaumegouges/status/1294635129055444993/photo/1. Guillaume Gouges is a journalist. The original upload template reads: {{Information |description={{en|1=On top of the COVID situation, this tanker ran aground on the pristine lagoon of Mauritius spill out its black poison. The area is still reeling from the effects.}} {{fr|1=En sus de la situation delicate causee par le COVID, ce navire-citerne deversa son poison noir dans les lagons de l'ile Maurice.

In no way is this possibly the own work of uploader. The source you propose: https://www.flickr.com/photos/62937028@N02/50236896003/ is the same size but two days after the one uploaded to Twitter by Guillaume Gouges. I really do not think we can accept the Flickr source as the original. See COM:PRP. Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 19:11, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
I asked Guillaume Gouges whether it was his work in a reply to that tweet. Also, since it seems that the uploader (or rather the importer from Flickr) was never notified about the deletion, I'll ping them: @B2Belgium: . whym (talk) 11:07, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Copied from [4] --whym (talk) 12:09, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

As written above, I asked Guillaume Gouges about it, and in a private response to me (he was okay with making it public), he recalled that it probably came from the Government information Service of Mauritius. There is indeed prior publication at a Facebook account associated with the government, [5] if I interpreted the timestamps correctly. So there is a third possibility, the most likely one in my opinion given the evidence so far, that both IMO and the journalist obtained it from the government, and the question is whether the government allows free use of the image. It looks like we have to assume the answer is no, unless we get specific permission from them. At the Facebook page I find nothing that suggests free license. GIS Mauritius's copyright policy seems pretty restrictive. [6] The government's open data initiative page does not contain anything associated with the keyword "Wakashio".

File:Pooja Theatrical Poster.jpg

== [[Pooja.jpg]] Please Undelete Image ==

The poster for this film released in 1954 is a theatrical movie poster of an Indian-language films that was released more than about 60 years ago. I obtained this poster from the internet and my understanding was that these old posters are now in the public domain, and therefore out of copyright.

I note that the Copyright law of India (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_India) indicates that all cinematograph films fall in the public domain 60 years from the beginning of the calendar year next following the year in which the work is first published. I also note that Wikipedia has many articles with posters on movies that are over 60 years old.

File:Adele-Bloch-Bauer bw - (1881-1925).jpg, File:Adele Bloch Bauer vers 1910.jpg (english version below)

Bonjour, cette photographie a été prise en 1910. Le photographe n'a pas pu être identifié et est donc réputé être inconnu. @Jameslwoodward: supprime le fichier avec la raison suivante : "1910 is too recent to assume that the photographer has been dead for 70 years". Les règles applicables en matière de définition du domaine public ne disent pas cela. En revanche, si l'auteur d'une photographie n'est pas connu, la plupart des pays européen applique la règle des 70 ans après la première publication. Le cliché a été pris en 1910. Adele Bloch-Bauer est morte en 1925. Il y a 96 ans. La photographie est donc du domaine public. La règle qui voudrait qu'on ait a penser raisonnablement que le photographe est mort depuis septante ans n'existe nulle part. A restaurer donc. --Madelgarius (talk) 07:45, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello, this photograph was taken in 1910. The photographer could not be identified and is therefore deemed to be unknown. @Jameslwoodward: removes the file with the following reason: "1910 is too recent to assume that the photographer has been dead for 70 years". The rules for defining the public domain do not say that. On the other hand, if the author of a photograph is not known, most European countries apply the 70 years after first publication rule. The picture was taken in 1910. Adele Bloch-Bauer died in 1925. That's 96 years ago. The photograph is therefore in the public domain. The rule that one should reasonably assume that the photographer has been dead for 70 years does not exist anywhere. To restore therefore. --Madelgarius (talk) 07:45, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - "[I]f the author of a photograph is not known, most European countries apply the 70 years after first publication rule" That applies only for truly anonymous works, which is an entirely different concept from being merely unknown to you personally ("The photographer could not be identified and is therefore deemed to be unknown.") The Commons has proprietary evidence requirements ("The rules for defining the public domain do not say that") and consensus has determined that we use 120 years from date of creation in pma countries when the author is unknown--see {{PD-old-assumed}}. Jim is thus entirely correct that 1910 is too recent to assume that the photographer has been dead for 70 years. (1910 + 120 + 1 = 01.01.2031) Эlcobbola talk 09:29, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
  •  Oppose "Anonymous" and "Unknown" are two very different things. The former requires that the work was originally published without credit and with the creator deliberately not named. The latter simply says that we do not know who the creator was -- the name was lost over time.
Note also that the rule cited by User:Madelgarius and the status of "anonymous" requires publication. There is no evidence that that this image was published in 1910 or any other date before 1952. In order to rely on the rule cited above, publication, not just creation, before 1952 must be proven. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:16, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
Madelgarius, Have you had in your hands a paper print of the photograph made from the original negative? If so your experience is relevant, but not conclusive. However, if your "THOUSANDS of times" were digital copies or in books and periodicals, the experience has little meaning. Also, you have not addressed the issue of publication. Even if we accept that work is anonymous (which I am not inclined to do), you must still prove publication before 1952. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:45, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
@Jameslwoodward: So you change your argument along the way. When you say that an anonymous work applies when "the creator deliberately not named", you are stating an untruth. Now you ask me to prove that the work was public before 1952. Adele Bloch-Bauer was Klimt's muse, she died in 1925. Klimt had died in 1918. It is obvious that this photograph was made public before 1952. If only in Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer's "salon", where Klimt's paintings were on public display in a room that had been transformed into a memorial for his wife. All of Vienna knew this photograph. Sometimes you have to stop trying to be right and bow to the evidence. This picture IS in the public domain. You have deleted the picture saying: "1910 is too recent to assume that the photographer has been dead for 70 years". Another untruth. Now you argue otherwise but you still see no way out. I'll give a tip: the way out is undeletion. --Madelgarius (talk) 21:24, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Our standard of proof for publication is that you must cite the place where it appeared. The version of the image we are arguing about is not a halftone. It was apparently digitized from a print or the original negative. Your assumption that "it is obvious that this photograph was made public" is not at all obvious. Given the woman's status, there were probably many photographs of her in existence during her lifetime. You must show that this particular one was published before 1952 and that that publication was anonymous -- without naming the photographer. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:19, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Therefore,
1. You intervene on a discussion page in which my opponents have nothing more to answer me. The page stagnates.
2. You use your tools without taking into account the discussion by deleting the file on the grounds that there is no proof that the photographer has been dead for 70 years.
3. I point out that this clause does not exist and is not required to establish that a photograph is in the public domain.
4 should have been: oops, sorry, I may have acted a little too quickly, I'll restore.
Yours was the next one: No, actually I was right to delete anyway because you have to prove publication before 1952.
I hope that the dispute between us (you proposed, a few years ago, to delete all my contributions on commons) does not interfere with this.
For someone who uses his tools without discussion, I am quite surprised at your approximate knowledge of copyright laws and regulations.
I suggest that you step aside and leave it to others to deal with this request on the understanding that you are both judge and jury and that you are trying to justify after the fact a deletion that I heavily question. --Madelgarius (talk) 07:16, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
  •  Oppose No evidence of publication. No evidence that the photographer is anonymous.
{{Anonymous-EU}} requires that it was published more than 70 years ago, or not published within 70 years from creation. We don't have evidence of either of those.
If it was not published within 70 years from creation, then we need evidence that it was published more than 25 years ago, per Article 4 of Directive 93/98/EEC.
If it was published within 70 years from creation, then we need evidence that the photographer's name wasn't disclosed when it was published. We don't have that evidence.
Commons policy also requires that it is in the public domain in the United States. If it wasn't published at all, then {{PD-US-unpublished}} requires evidence that it was created more than 120 years ago. If it was published at some point, then United States copyright status is more complex. --Stefan2 (talk) 08:11, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

This has gone on long enough, but I will not close it. You have shown no proof of publication or that any publication was actually anonymous, both of which are required to use the EEC "70 years after anonymous publication" rule. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:55, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

The neue gallery : author unknown. Your request to proove a publication before 1952 is procedural. How many contributors who have submitted an image in the Category:Unidentified photographers have been asked to provide such proof. Are you going to delete all those where this has not been demonstrated? I have been in contact with Randol Schoenberg about a photograph of Gustav Bloch-Bauer to make sure it can be placed in the public domain. Here it is established that the author is unknown, that the photograph was taken around 1910 and that Adele Bloch-Bauer died in 1925. More than enough to establish the PD. You are now nitpicking by invoking a rule that you did not mention at the beginning of the proceedings. It would be a stretch to think that you are overplaying. --Madelgarius (talk) 07:02, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
@Madelgarius: If you think that other images violate Commons policies, feel free to ask uploaders to fix information or request for deletion of the images. Policies being violated elsewhere is not a valid reason for undeletion. Ankry (talk) 11:03, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

File:SCP-173 artwork.png

This file was deleted because it apparently infringed on the copyright of a sculpture. However, I believe that the file was allowed under Commons:Fan art. It was a two-dimensional anime-style chibi drawing of a three-dimensional statue that was not originally in the chibi style. I think that this file is not a copyright violation and should be allowed on Commons in the same manner as, for example, File:Batman Clipart.svg, which is another heavily stylized cartoonish representation of a character.

The issue here, as it is with all fan art, is whether (a) it is useful for an educational purpose and (b) whether it infringes on the copyright of the original. I compared this image with the original and it seems to me that it is clearly derivative, more so even than the cited file File:Batman Clipart.svg, which is itself borderline. There is, therefore a substantial doubt over whether it can be freely used. I also wonder what its educational value is. Fan art, as noted in the cited guideline, is not automatically useful here -- there must be a good reason why we break our rule against keeping personal art from non notable artists. .     Jim . . .

@Bellwon: Does nit seem to be a selfie of the anonymous uploader. We need an evidence of free license directly form the actual copyright holder and an evidence of copyright transfer if the copyright holder is not the author. COM:OTRS is the process for providing non-public data. On-wiki licensing can be used here only for original, non-published amateur images, where the real author is not identifiable or their identification do not differ to uploader username. See COM:EVID for anything else. Ankry (talk) 06:59, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose Also, note that the image appears at https://www.justinavail.com/justina/ with "COPYRIGHT Justina Vail Evans 2014-2021". The easiest way to have this image restored is to change that to, "COPYRIGHT Justina Vail Evans 2014-2021 except that the image of Justina Vail Evans on this page is CC BY SA 4.0". Alternately, the actual photographer can send a free license using OTRS.

the images you just removed (recently)from the wiki don't have any copyright, they are widely used and if someone tries to claim copyright it is extremely fake, that Buddha image cannot be copyrighted and the content Its content is free for everyone. for whatever reason you always like to remove the images of gods, fairies, saints, Buddhas of the east. if you don't know exactly then you don't have the right to remove and you have abused your authority and images like some jesus god img have copyright etc then please do your good Lolvatveo (talk) 02:21, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

@Lolvatveo: The image was not deleted due to someone's copyright claims, but due to lack of evidence that it is not copyrighted (evidence of pre 1960 publication, or evidence of author's death more than 50 years ago - assuming that the country of origin is Vietnam + evidence of PD status in US, which may be more complicated) or under the declared free license granted by the image author.

  •  Oppose - Previously published images require additional evidence of permission. Further, as copyright initially vests in the author (photographer), not the mere subject (uploader Badgato purports to be subject Badgato, and image is clearly not a selfie), the aforementioned permission needs to be in the form of direct (not forwarded) contact from the actual author or a copy of the document that transferred copyright; either can be provided using the process at COM:OTRS.

This mean now indoor works in a public place have freedom of panorama, so files in Category:Chinese_FOP_cases_(indoor) should be undeleted.--Njzjz (talk) 04:20, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

The requirement that the author and title of the work be given means that this is limited to those cases where both are known.

There has never been a file named "File:Dominic MacGregor.jpg". I note that you spelled the name as "McGregor" in your request, but there has never been a file named "File:Dominic McGregor.jpg" either. None of your own uploads is anything like that.

Note that "not copyrighted material" is incorrect.

File:Forcefire ao vivo em Mangaratiba, Brasil.jpg

Hi, File:Forcefire ao vivo em Mangaratiba, Brasil.jpg was deleted at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Forcefire ao vivo em Mangaratiba, Brasil.jpg by Taivo who believed the file was a copyvio and of low res. They've since realised it wasn't a copyvio but have still refused to undelete it (They've been on since my reply),
Whilst the image is low res that in itself isn't a reason to delete as we have tons of low res images here and the image was taken in 2008 and was categorised accordingly - The image was still of use and was in SCOPE, Thanks. –Davey2010Talk 19:52, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose. Apparently I was not enough clear. I wanted to say: while Davey says a lot of right things, I am convinced, that my decision was right. The file is copyvio not because it is small photo without metadata, but because uploader is himself depicted and the photo is not a selfie. Also the deletion is uploader's request. Taivo (talk) 08:19, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

 Not done per Taivo. The license should be from the photographer, not from subject. If the subject owns copyright, we need OTRS. If the uploader's claims are not reliable, we also need OTRS. Ankry (talk) 10:09, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

  • Support. The situation was well explained by User:Fugitron in C:UDR/A/2021-04#Files uploaded by ArtificeBoy. The request was declined supposedly for doubt. IMHO, that refusal was not justified, because there was actually no doubt. Nothing concrete was presented in terms of doubt. The files were uploaded by their author. And the archive of the twitter discussion, linked in that previous UDR, allows a full understanding of the situation. It confirms that the author offers the files under CC BY-SA 4.0. His explicit decision to upgrade them to CC BY-SA 4.0 obviously prevails over the former CC BY-NC mention that remains in the EXIF. -- Asclepias (talk) 23:32, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Reason: Apologies to Esad58, ZLEA, and Stefan2. These coin images were deleted on the basis of their designer being an Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) contractor. For reasons explained at Commons:Determining if U.S. coins are free to use, AIP coin designs are not freely usable. While true that these coins' mint webpages ([11][12]) did (and still do) have "Donna Weaver, Artistic Infusion Program" written in the design credit line, she was employed (not contracted) by the mint when she designed the coins. According to her artist page, she worked at the mint from 2000 to 2006 before becoming an AIP contractor, and designed these coins as part of her employment. They are therefore PD.  Mysterymanblue  00:27, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Normally this picture should fall under freedom of panaroma as it is permanetly placed in public space (it's a street sign). Hilke Arijs (talk) 16:17, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - This is not a street sign, but a billboard. Belgian FoP applies to works installed on a "permanent basis"; billboards are seldom permanent installations as, for example, the images depicted change periodically. There is no evidence here that this is permanent. Эlcobbola talk 16:42, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
  •  Support non-permanent bilboards are most often paid advertising. This one seems to be a regional bilboard, most likely permanent. Its shape and border colouring suggest that it was not designed for poster changing. Ankry (talk) 11:21, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

this photo came from sometime before 2005. its resolution and lack of EXIF were typical of old photos from that time.--RZuo (talk) 14:20, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
{{Temporarily undeleted}} for discussion. 343×223px is not a standard resolution of a digital photo from that time. While it may be {{Grandfathered}} we need at least some explanation why it is so low resolution and whether so low resolution image is (still) useful. Ankry (talk) 19:58, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
it could well be a photo from a film camera. the photographer was born in 1946. consumer-grade digital cameras would not be available until his 50s. without credible claims of copyvio it shouldnt be deleted.
it's been used on a large number of wikis for more than a decade.--RZuo (talk) 22:10, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
  • @RZuo: HPH was active on deWP as late as February this year. They also link a personal website from their user page where contact information is found. You may want to contact them by email to let them know about this discussion and ask about the source of this image. They may also be able to provide OTRS confirmation and even a higher-resolution scan.
    The image was clearly not born-digital: you can see a black border due to incomplete cropping in several places. To me it looks most like the black cardboard(ish) pages of photo albums popular among "prosumer" (advanced hobbyist / casual professional) photographers up to about the mid-nineties (depending on where you were in the world). The right edge could also possibly be construed to look like the curling of a magazine page toward its spine, suggesting the image was scanned from a magazine, but at this resolution it is impossible to tell anything for certain. --Xover (talk) 06:55, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Scan of a book in the PD in the USA. Languageseeker (talk) 00:04, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

When We Were Very Young is listed as first being published in in 1924 by a London-based publisher. The 1924 year makes it PD in US. But it's a UK country-of-origin, so Commons:Copyright rules by territory/United Kingdom is also in play.

Note to processing admins: According to the requester, all the temporarily restored files have now been safely transferred to enWS and can be deleted again here. They were originally deleted because they are not PD in the country of origin (UK), and that deletion rationale still holds true.

Reason: I mistakenly nominated the public domain reverse of the coin for deletion instead of the non-free obverse and would like this file to be undeleted. Sorry to Keeleysam. At the DR, you can see that I (correctly) marked the Thomas Alva Edison Commemorative Coin's obverse as non-free because it was designed by an Artistic Infusion Program contractor. For reasons explained at Commons:Determining if U.S. coins are free to use, AIP coin designs are not freely usable. The reverse of the coin is freely usable, however, because it was designed by John Mercanti, a mint employee.  Mysterymanblue  22:25, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

 Info OTRS-based requests should be made by VRT agents. Ankry (talk) 16:18, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
Note that there is what appears to be a crop of this image at File:Tore Storehaug YEPP council of Presidents Vienna (cropped).jpg which has been hosted since 2017. The OTRS tag was added by krd in this edit shortly after upload. Whatever the licensing situation is for the original it probably applies to the crop as well, and vice versa. Xover (talk) 07:30, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
A permission for a cropped image is not obviously valid for the non-cropped image. Also cropped out parts of this image are blurry and of no value. Ankry (talk) 18:55, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
Yeah, sorry, I should have expressed that better. We obviously can't just assume that the permission for the crop applies to the full image. What I was trying (and failing) to convey was that since the two files are so closely related there is a high probability that once the ticket is actually checked it will be relevant to both files; and that if there is a problem with the permission as it applies to the full image that problem is also likely to apply to the crop. And since Krd checked the ticket for the crop they might want to check it against the full version as well. I have no real opinion on the issue as such: I just wanted to note the related file so they could be handled together, iff relevant. Xover (talk) 09:06, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

File:Dariatotskaya.jpg This file is from the profile on facebook of Daria Toski and she can sign that it is free for use in Wiki.

Brigeeta (talk) 10:54, 15 July 2021 (UTC)Brigeeta

@Brigeeta: : Free for use in not the same as freely licensed; we require tha latter on Commons. And per COM:DW we need a free license permission from both: the photographer and the painter. Ankry (talk) 08:21, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Ankry, this photo of Daria Toski is made by Daria Toski. She is an author of a photo. It is made on her Canon and she provides it for free use in Wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 178.176.213.244 (talk) 11:03, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose First, I am not at all sure that this is a selfie -- if it is, it is very well done. I strongly suspect that someone else actually pushed the shutter button and therefore owns the copyright. Second, "free for use in Wiki" is not broad enough to keep it on Commons. Images here must be free for use by anyone, anywhere, for any purpose, including commercial use and derivative works. Such permission must be given by the copyright holder herself, not a third party. Third, the painting or photo in the background, which is repeated on the cover of the book, is probably still under copyright. We will need a license for it from its creator. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:53, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Dear Jim and others... This photo was taken from the Canon Mark III of Daria Toski. Nowadays, you know. you can put your Canon on the stick or smth like it and it will take a photo after 30 or more seconds! Than, THIS PHOTO IS FREE FOR USE IN EVERYWHERE BY AUTHOR AND PAINTER DARIA TOSKI, and the picture on the wall is her own ant the photo of it is free for use everywhere! It is really free, the author gave her permission! I still can't believe. that to put the photo in Wiki is such a difficult thing. if I will give you a photo of her permission, you will probably talk me in 100500 comments that it is not the form you wanted. All this makes me really feal unhappy. Brigeeta (talk) 16:15, 18 July 2021 (UTC)Brigeeta

@Brigeeta: As noted in the closing message below: OTRS permission is needed, especially as there was no free license granted when the photo was published on https://formasloff.ru/ A photo can be licensed on-wiki in Commons if (1) it is unpublished, (2) it is original, not preprocessed and (3) the photographer is anonymous and cannot be identified as a real person. All three need to be met and according to your claim none is met. Ankry (talk) 19:52, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Political and government files from Fataobstant

Construction sheets for PD flags.
Political party flags and other symbols from before or during the war (World War II).
French Indo-Chinese government works.

Please always ping me on this page. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 14:49, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

@Donald Trung: The first six images are missing correct copyright status templates (the ones provided there seem to be false: {{PD-VietnamGov}} as they are not text documents, and {{Cc-by-sa-3.0}} as they does not seem to be copyrighted by the uploader. Please advice, which copyright templates should be used instead.
The latter six images are photos of some kind of 3D medals. While the medals themselves are likely PD due to age, their photos are copyrighted. They are claimed to originate from an extermal (already non-existent) webpage and the uploader claims to be the photographer. Due to external source and as the photos are preprocessed, not original ones. we need authorship/license evidence. I did not found such evidence on an archived source page, so likely OTRS permission from the photographer seems to be the right way. Ankry (talk) 17:09, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
@Ankry: , well  do not undelete any medals, those are 3D objects, I was under the impression that the user drew them based on works, medals are not PD-scans. These medals by any chance? Often this sockmaster uploads those with bullshit filenames and descriptions, usually I nominate those for deletion, so I am withdrawing the latter six (6) files if so.
Any medals from this globally locked Sockmaster should remain deleted for now, withdraw those. Regarding the flags they are PD-Vietnam per "anonymous work first published more than 75 years ago" "anonymous work first published more than 50 years prior to January 1, 2010" as political parties were run mostly anonymous or pseudonymous due to French oppression, so rarely can any actual authors be known.
Just to be clear, you can see how a deleted image looks like, right? --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 17:23, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
@Donald Trung: I am sorry, my bad: I did not notice that 3 of the first 6 are also photos of 3D objects with unclear photo copyright status. Please, fix the info for undeleted images. Ankry (talk) 17:34, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
Note also that images that were not PD in Vietnam 1n 1998 are likely copyrighted in US per URAA. I am not sure if the 75 pd term was valid in 1998, please advice. Ankry (talk) 17:45, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
@Ankry: ,1998 - 50 = 1948, but Vietnam had much laxer copyright © laws in 1998, so I will find an English translation about the history of Vietnamese copyright laws back then for you and how it changed, until fairly recently most Socialist states (except for Chinese) had extremely unencompassing copyright laws, for example "things against the state" were copyrightable until only a few decades ago. What I wanted undeleted from this request is undeleted, I will fetch the article for you. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 18:54, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
Per COM:Vietnam there was 50pd (post publication) term 1n the 1995 law. So anonymous works published 1947 and earlier are OK. Published 1948+ fall under URAA unless not copyrightable in US. Ankry (talk) 19:01, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Poorna Jagannathan has received permission from the photographer to use this photograph on her Wikipedia page. She has permission in text and email format. How can we reinstate the use of this image? PoornaJagannathanWikipedia2021.jpg

 Oppose The image must be free to use (and not only "to use") by anybody in the world for any purpose, not just by Poorna Jagannathan. We need a written free license permission from the actual copyright holder; see COM:OTRS for details. Note: claiming a photo authorship while you are not the photographer is a serious violation of commons policies and law. Ankry (talk) 04:47, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - 1) Previously published images require COM:OTRS evidence of permission; 2) such permission cannot be merely "to use this photograph on her Wikipedia page," indeed per Ankry; and 3) why would we believe your purports when you had previously claimed this to be your work, which you now acknowledge to have been a lie ("Poorna Jagannathan has received permission from the photographer to use this photograph")?

The image is not a copyright violation. I am the owner of the image in the social networking site which has been referred fir copyright violation, Please visit the Facebook post where the photo credit has been given to me by mentioning Photographer- Mainak Chatterjee, Who is the same person who has uploaded the image on Wikipedia. Please visit the link for details https://www.facebook.com/AmarMedinipur/photos/469731566433595 (Mainakchatterjee.tech)

Explanation of why its not a copyright violation — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mainakchatterjee.tech (talk • contribs) 09:29, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

@Mainakchatterjee.tech: Please follow the instruction at COM:OTRS. --Tim Wu (talk) 09:45, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
@Mainakchatterjee.tech: this falls under the case of previously-published images. You published them on social media before publishing them here. In such cases, you need to send a correspondece via COM:VRT process, for verification that you are indeed the copyright holder and that you confirm your use of the free license as indicated. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 09:47, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
Please let me know the process of how to send and format to send COM:VRT. If would be really helpful if you can send it on my behalf . Or if you want I can delete the social networking post from that facebook page which has been indicated https://www.facebook.com/AmarMedinipur/photos/4697315664335 Mainakchatterjee.tech (talk) 10:08, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
@Mainakchatterjee.tech: it is you who will send the correspondence since you are claiming copyright.

Well, if the image is your own, personal creation that was never used anywhere, we need good explanation, why it is needed here (scope issue); if it was used elsewhere, we need good explanation why a Wikimedia user should be attributed as its author (copyright issue).

These files were uploaded by an assistant of the owner and were deleted, but on the OTRS page it says it is better to upload the images before filling out the OTRS forms.

File:Australian_Embassy_in_Paris.jpg

The extraterritoriality of foreign missions is well established. There is no way to support French French FOP on the embassy grounds of a foreign mission, even if it's in France.--Labattblueboy (talk) 15:55, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Related DR is Commons:Deletion requests/File:Australian Embassy in Paris.jpg. IMO, relevant is the position of the photographer. As the photo was taken at some distance from the building, it's unlikely that this ground belongs to the embassy. --Túrelio (talk) 16:18, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
That logic doesn't work. It's not the location of the photographer but the location of the object/subject. Otherwise, I could stand within the grounds of an embassy or across an national border and take photos of objects subjected to french FOP and erroneously claim to not be in violation.--Labattblueboy (talk) 16:34, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 Oppose Actually, extraterritoriality is not applicable to copyright. This has been well established here in several cases. In fact, it's not applicable to much else, either. The laws of the host nation apply, although it is clear that they may not be able to enforce them on embassy grounds. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:34, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
Can you please list the basis, or a case? My searches produced examples such as this one which contain no substance just statements. This seems to be a clear case of immunity of attachment but am happy to be schooled if the details can be presented.-Labattblueboy (talk)
Would the freedom from "all national, regional or municipal dues and taxes in respect of the premises of the mission, whether owned or leased, other than such as represent payment for specific services rendered" not render the consideration of royalty payments in any copyright dispute irrelevant?--Labattblueboy (talk) 16:55, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 Oppose applying Nat's input at Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2021-03#File:US Embassy Athens.jpg (my undel attempt which I later withdrew): "The physical premises of a diplomatic or consular mission do not exist in a status of extraterritoriality -- and the land on which the mission sit is still the sovereign territory of the host state. Under the 1961 Vienna Convention and the 1963 Vienna Convention, the premises, persons, documents, etc. of a mission is inviolable, but both conventions do not grant extraterritorial status to the mission. Local laws still apply but they just cannot be enforced on diplomatic missions (the premises, the people, the documents, etc.) and in most cases on consular missions. Unless there is a specific agreement between the two states, Greek copyright law, therefore, applies to the Chancery of the U.S. Embassy in Athens." JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 17:29, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
But this is the point, the application of legal penalties associated to copyright of a building on an embassy grounds would require the consent of that nation, or some form of bilateral agreement. We have nothing to show Australia would consent given they consider the property public domain, and unless I'm mistaken there is no associated bilateral agreement has been demonstrated.--Labattblueboy (talk) 14:09, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - Copyright law (Berne Convention) considers country of origin (first publication) as the relevant jurisdiction, which here is France. ("The country of origin shall be considered to be: (a) in the case of works first published in a country of the Union, that country" (underline added)). The extraterritoriality considerations of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations in no way make embassies territory of the sending nation (to the contrary, for example: "The receiving State shall either facilitate the acquisition on its territory, in accordance with its laws, by the sending State of premises necessary for its mission or assist the latter in obtaining accommodation in some other way." (underline added)(Art 21)). This is not controversial, and indeed is the very first sentence (!!!) of the Extraterritoriality section of the Diplomatic mission article. An architectural work first published in France (i.e., a French work) does not magically become an Australian work subject to Australian IP laws merely because it comes to be used as a foreign embassy. Note also that, per COM:EVID, "In all cases, the burden of proof lies on the uploader or other person arguing for the file to be retained to demonstrate that as far as can reasonably be determined: the file is in the public domain or is properly licensed." (underline added) This has not been done and is not on offer here; that failure and simultaneous demand for evidence ("Can you please list the basis, or a case"; "no associated bilateral agreement has been demonstrated") from those who needn't prove anything is telling, and inappropriate.

File:Ian Douglas Cochrane, Earl of Dundonald.png

The article was published in 1930, within copyright law (UK), copyright expires 70 years after the death of the publisher.. however, if the author is not known, the copyright expires 70 years from the date of the publication, but Who first owned the copyright in the work? This is effectively a redundant question as the work is likely to be out of copyright. That is, in accordance with the rules on the duration of copyright in works of unknown authorship; when the identity of the author cannot be identified by reasonable inquiry.. copyright lasts for 70 years from the end of the calendar year in which the work was first made available to the public, therefore, unless Ytoyoda can prove who the photographer of the image is, his deletion claim cannot be accepted, can this please be undeleted, thank you.Hogyncymru (talk) 20:34, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - The "source" you provided was "Clipping from an unknown old British newspaper from 1968." This "source" fails COM:EVID ("In all cases the uploader must provide appropriate evidence to demonstrate either that the file is in the public domain" (underline added)); this "source" fails COM:L ("All description pages on Commons [...] should also contain information sufficient for others to verify the license status"); and this "source" contradicts the purport here ("The article was published in 1930") The burden is on you to substantiate claims, not for @Ytoyoda: or @Jameslwoodward: to prove otherwise ("unless Ytoyoda can prove who the photographer of the image is, his deletion claim cannot be accepted"). Notwithstanding that no evidence is on offer here, and that 1968 + 70 + 1 = 2039, even the 1930 claim would be 1930 + 70 + 1 = 2001, which is after the 1996 URAA date and thus the earliest it would be PD in the US is 2026 (1930 + 95 + 1).

 Oppose In the first place, it is unlikely that the subject owns the copyright and has the right to freely license it. Even though the subject paid for the image, his rights rarely go beyond use in his own promotional material. However, even if the subject does have the right to freely license it, policy requires that he give the license, not you. He must do that using VRT and must provide written evidence that he has the right to freely license the image. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:26, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Guangzhou Metro logos

Please restore the following files:

Guangzhou Metro logos are below TOO China, and it was mentioned in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Guangzhou Metro Line 3 Television New.jpeg. Liuxinyu970226 asked why these files were not meet TOO China in Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:SVG logos of China, and did not get a response from the nominator. However, these files were still deleted today. --Tim Wu (talk) 10:46, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

@Rubin16 and 沈澄心: Plese advice, why do you think that these logos are above COM:TOO#China? They are indeed very simple. Ankry (talk) 10:56, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
@Ankry I based my decision on a couple of samples from COM:TOO China: Gang Heng logo and K2 sports logo. The first is just text with the simplest geometrical shape of a circle with the text inside. The second logo is also just little bit stylised text "K2" but still copyrighted. I thought it would be borderline, probably, but decided it is copyrighted based on the red figure in the left part of the metro icon: there are curved lines, thus, similar to case above could be copyrighted. If there would be just two parallel straight lines, I think I would have kept them. rubin16 (talk) 13:39, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
I think this logo is even more simple than “K2” and that example doesn’t work for this case. —Tim Wu (talk) 00:31, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
@Rubin16: COM:TOO China has few OK examples. Five SKECHERS logos (source) were decided NOT copyrightable for lacking originality by Higher People's Court of Beijing Municipality last year. The court considered that the five logos are just simple deformations of the letter S. Then the metro logos can also be considered as a twisting of two parallel lines or the letter Y. --Tim Wu (talk) 03:16, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
I agree that the first two are very simple and probably PD in both China and the US. I don't read Chinese, so I can't read the motto in the third one, but mottoes are copyrightable in the US, so that is probably not PD-US. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:34, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose Complicated enough to be copyrightable in China. --Minoraxtalk 14:33, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
@Rubin16, Ankry, Jameslwoodward, and Minorax: Please check the newly added OK examples in COM:TOO China. The Guangzhou Metro logo only has two simple curves, just like a pair of goat horns (Guangzhou is called City of Rams) or the letter Y after a simple transformation. I think this logo is as simple enough as the OK examples, and does not reach the threshold of originality in China. --Tim Wu (talk) 02:49, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
Note that all the OK cases were ruled by courts of municipality or district level. When considering China's TOO as a whole, more weights should be put on the Gang Heng logo example as the ruling was made by China's supreme court. --Wcam (talk) 13:00, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
The main body of the Gang Heng Logo is a circle divided into three parts, each filled with Chinese or English words. The logo of Guangzhou Metro has only two simple curves, which I think is not comparable to the Gang Heng logo. And please note that Beijing is a municipality directly under the Chinese Central Government. What Wcam called "court of municipality level" is actually a high people's court, the highest local court and just below China's supreme court. --Tim Wu (talk) 14:56, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
In my opinion the two curves are more creative than a simple circle, especially that, as Tim Wu mentioned above, the curves are inspired by the shape of goat horns, therefore the logo reflects a higher degree of originality and creativity because the design reflects the creator's original thoughts and personality characteristics. Also per COM:PCP, if the supreme court rules a very simple logo to be copyrightable, there is significant doubt that similarly simple designs are free. --Wcam (talk) 18:35, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
@Wcam: Then how do you consider the SKECHERS case? that has several complexed curves. I'm afraid that by this timestamp, the TOO situation is changed, at least it could be Indian-like.  Support by anyway. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 05:17, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
The reason I mentioned goat horns is to illustrate that the logo is derived from a very common animal and is very simple, so no complicated design is required. The logos of SKECHERS and BIOU are also made up of curves. The complexity of these two logos (such as corners) is even more than that of the Guangzhou Metro logo. However, they were both ruled non-copyrightable by the High Court. --Tim Wu (talk) 06:05, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 Support undeleting both, they are well below COM:TOO China. Neither in the bulk deletion request nor in the oppose !vote above do I read any actual, well-supported argument for why the Chinese threshold of originality is met. Sam Sailor 07:04, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

File:Bryan Atkinson at the CFC 25th Anniversary Celebration in LA.jpg

This image was kept, at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Bryan Atkinson at the CFC 25th Anniversary Celebration in LA.jpg. (1) uploaded it; (2) I initially argued it should be kept because the requester did not confirm their identity through OTRS; (3) Administrator Arthur_Crbz concluded the image should be kept, even though the requestor did figure out how open an OTRS ticket.

Their opening of an OTRS ticket makes me think we should have extended them a courtesy deletion, after all.

I contacted administrator Arthur_Crbz some months ago, seeking clarification as to why he closed the dicussion just two days after the opening of the OTRS ticket.

Mr Atkinson attended the prestigious Canadian Film Centre, which strongly suggested he was on his way to becoming a notable figure in the Canadian Film Industry. But, when I googled him, he seems to have switched careers, from film to web design. Which I think makes his SCOPE more marginal, making this an even better candidate for courtesy deletion.

This picture was taken by a hired photographer on 20th August 1970. It was my mother's wedding.

 Oppose In almost all cases, hired wedding photographers hold the copyright to their images. The only right that the family hiring the photographer has is to enjoy the photos -- they may not themselves even make copies. Since this is a 1970 photograph from Bangladesh, it will be under copyright there until at least 1/1/2031 and in the USA until at least 1/1/2066. .     Jim . . .

Well, per section 13(b) of the 1962 Copyright Ordinance it is likely that you can own copyright if this was indeed a work for hire. However, we may need an evidenence that (1) it was indeed a work for hire and (b) that you are the heir of the initial copyright holder. These likely cannot be provided on-wiki, you need to contact VRT. Moreover, the photographer is still the author and in order to grant a license that requires author attribution, you may need to provide info who they are/were. Ankry (talk) 08:55, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
I disagree that it is "likely" a work for hire. A similar law applies in the USA, but in almost all cases, wedding photographers' contracts explicitly retain the copyright. Until the digital age, wedding photographers made most of there money by selling additional prints to the wedding party and guests. I would be very surprised if the same were not true in Bangladesh. In any case, it's moot here, since this clearly requires a VRT volunteer to examine both the contract with the photographer and the status of the uploader as heir. .     Jim . . .

Pic can qualify as a selfie, marketed to Magazines & the Royalist Party among others; her Registration was accepted and her entitlement was granted:

Royalist Party member Royalist-Party.org 1fluidphysics (talk) 04:16, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Meagan Good can’t be the copyright holder; the selfie belongs to the Royalist Party and was sold by Meagan to multiple enterprises; Copyright in Wikipedia terms is the first time the pic was uploaded; this upload was after the selfie was marketed to all parties involved;

The upload parameters are controversial; the consistency is that Meagan Good has approved of the Sponsorship on her Facebook, & the Royalist Party owns the selfie as cited & sponsored on Royalist-Party.org 1fluidphysics (talk) 14:29, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

A copyright comes into being at the moment of creation, not, as you say, the "first time the pic was uploaded". Your comment, "Meagan Good can’t be the copyright holder; the selfie belongs..." is self contradictory. If this is a selfie, Meagan Good owns the copyright. If it is not a selfie, then the actual photographer owns the work. If the actual owner of the copyright has licensed the work to someone else, then, if the terms of the license permit it, the licensee may freely license the work.

This selfie has sponsorship; Royalist Party owns the selfie as Meagan is a member of the Royalist Party; according to you & Wikipedia... Copyright follows as Meagan good took a selfie, this own the copyright, then marketed that selfie (Copyright) to the Royalist Party and other entertainment entities, that selfie (Copyright) is then the property of the Royalist Party or magazine she sold it to; why have you not cited or quoted the sources I gave to verify the Copyright ( Facebook & Royalist-Party.org ) 1fluidphysics (talk) 02:55, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose If the photographer has transferred their copyright to the Royalist Party, you need to provide evidence of a contract that says so to VRT. Nothing can be done here. The photographer is almost always the initial copyright holder unless they made a photo as their duty as regular employee. Moreover, if the photo was used by the Party, written permission is required by Commons policy. Ankry (talk) 08:23, 27 July 2021 (UTC)



Irrelevant quote from Facebook Terms
Facebook Sponsorships are legal and the below Ad Or Copyright terms are explainEd to VRT.

Self-Serve Ad Terms The following terms (“Self-Serve Advertising Terms” or “Self-Serve Ad Terms”) apply to your use of Facebook Products (such as the self-service advertising interfaces and APIs) for creation, submission and/or delivery of any advertising or other commercial or sponsored activity or content (collectively, “Self-Serve Ad Interfaces”) and any order you place through the Self-Serve Ad Interfaces (“Order”). You can target your desired audience by buying ads to be delivered on Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, our publisher network, or any place we serve ads. When you place an Order, you will tell us the type of advertising you want to buy, the amount you want to spend, and your bid. If we accept your Order, we will deliver your ads as inventory becomes available. When serving your ad, we use best efforts to deliver the ads to the audience you specify or to achieve the outcome you select, though we cannot guarantee in every instance that your ad will reach its intended target or achieve the outcome you select. Your ads must comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines, as well as our Advertising Policies. Failure to comply may result in a variety of consequences, including the cancellation of ads you have placed and termination of your account. We may reject or remove any ad for any reason. You will pay for your Orders in accordance with the following: You will comply with our Community Payments Terms to the extent applicable. You will pay all amounts specified in each Order you place, along with any applicable taxes. The amount you owe for each Order will be calculated based on our tracking mechanisms. By placing an Order, you authorize us to obtain your personal and/or business credit report from a credit bureau, either when you place an Order or at any time thereafter. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your advertising account, and you understand that you will be charged for any Orders placed on or through your advertising account. If you are making direct debit payments, you agree that we can charge you any amount that falls within the range you agreed to upon signup. We will notify you in advance if any charge will exceed the agreed-upon range. You can cancel an Order at any time, but your ads may run for 24 hours after you notify us, and you are still responsible for paying for all ads that run. The amounts we charge you may be subject to and include applicable taxes and levies, including without limitation withholding taxes. You are responsible for bearing and remitting any taxes that apply to your transactions. You will indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any claim arising out of your failure to do so. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may take additional steps to collect past due amounts. You will pay all expenses associated with such collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees. Past due amounts will accrue interest at 1% per month or the lawful maximum, whichever is less. We may allow you to purchase ads with an “Advertiser Balance,” which is a pre-paid balance that can be used solely to purchase ads on Facebook. Advertiser Balances are only for business or commercial purposes. Advertiser Balances are non-refundable except where required by law. Facebook is not a bank and does not offer banking services; accordingly, Advertiser Balances do not earn interest, are not deposit obligations, and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, or any other entity or insurance scheme, whether governmental or private. You will fall under one of two categories depending on your payment method: invoiced or non-invoiced client. Invoiced clients are those for whom Facebook sets a maximum spending limit and issues invoices on a periodic basis for payment in accordance with the applicable invoicing terms. Non-invoiced clients are those who must make payments at the time of purchase itself. In its sole discretion, Facebook may classify clients as invoiced clients based on factors such as ad spend and creditworthiness. From time to time, we need to test improvements to our audiences and delivery systems, which could impact your advertising. Our testing is designed to improve the effectiveness of your advertising performance. We reserve the right to test when we believe it will be beneficial for advertiser performance. We will determine the size, placement, and positioning of your ads. Scheduling of delivery is subject to availability and may not be continuous. We do not guarantee the reach or performance that your ads will receive, such as the number of people who will see your ads or the number of clicks your ads will get. We cannot control how clicks are generated on your ads. We have systems that attempt to detect and filter certain click activity, but we are not responsible for click fraud, technological issues, or other potentially invalid click activity that may affect the cost of running ads. Our license to deliver your ad will end when we have completed your Order. You understand, however, that: Once displayed, ads are public information. Ads may be re-shared and accessed outside of the targeted audience (including from the Facebook Page running the ads or within Facebook Products). If users have interacted with your ad, your ad may remain on our Products (e.g., shared until the users delete it or visible to users through their account tools). If your ad is about Social Issues, Elections or Politics, Facebook may display (at no cost to you) and provide access to the ad content and creative, and information about the ad campaign (such as total spend and delivery data, and targeting information) for a period of seven years from the completion of your order. You consent that Facebook may disclose your advertising content, and all information associated with your advertising, to a governmental entity or body if Facebook believes that disclosure would assist in a lawful investigation. We will provide you with reports about the kinds of people seeing your ads and how your ads are performing. Your use of these reports is subject to the Data Use Restrictions in our Advertising Policies. We may provide a business, and all those who advertise for the business, with information about the number of ads being run for the business across the Facebook Products and any applicable restrictions on those ads. We offer tools to provide transparency to our users about how Facebook advertising works and control over their ads experience, including information sufficient to show them why they are being shown specific ads. You agree that information associated with your advertising may be included in these tools, and that those tools may impact your ability to advertise to those users or to prevent them from seeing your ads. You will not issue any press release or make public statements about your relationship with Facebook or the Facebook Products without our prior written permission. If you are placing ads on someone else's behalf, you must have permission to place those ads, and agree as follows: You represent and warrant that you have the authority to and will bind the advertiser to these Self-Serve Ad Terms and the Terms of Service, and the Commercial Terms, to which you also agree. If the advertiser you represent violates these Self-Serve Ad Terms, the Terms of Service, or the Commercial Terms, we may hold you responsible for that violation. You agree that we may provide campaign reporting information to the end advertiser for whom you placed a campaign. We may ask you to review and accept supplemental terms that apply to your use of a specific feature or functionality made available through the Self-Serve Ad Interfaces. To the extent those supplemental terms conflict with these Self-Serve Ad Terms, the supplemental terms will govern with respect to your use of the specific feature or functionality to the extent of the conflict. We may change or update these Self-Serve Ad Terms from time to time and your continued use of the Self-Serve Ad Interfaces constitutes acceptance of those changes. Contracting party: If you reside or have your principal place of business in the United States or Canada, Facebook, Inc. provides the Self-Serve Ad Interfaces. If you reside or have your principal place of business outside the United States or Canada, Facebook Ireland Limited provides the Self-Serve Ad Interfaces. Notwithstanding the above, advertisers in some countries may be subject to special provisions regarding Orders they place, including, under certain circumstances, that they contract directly with Facebook affiliate companies solely for purposes of placing Orders. If applicable to you, you can find these special provisions applicable to your Orders here. For the avoidance of doubt, regardless which entity you contract with (as described in Sections 16.a, 16.b and 16.c), Facebook’s Advertising Policies (and its Community Standards as incorporated) are enforced under the Terms of Service by the entity that provides the Facebook Products under the applicable Terms of Service in your region. Any claim, cause of action, or dispute that arises out of or relates to these Self-Serve Ad Terms is subject to the disputes resolution clause in the Commercial Terms. These Self-Serve Ad Terms will terminate in the event of any termination of the Commercial Terms, but the following provisions will still apply: the lead-in paragraph, Sections 2, 4, 8-12 and 15-18.

Effective Date: June 28, 2021.

  • Коллега Rubin16, я в силу определённых причин вышел сегодня из состава VTRS агентов. Не могли бы вы дообработать этот тикет? Тут надо по списку восстановленных файлов проставить VTRS тикет на те, которые вы сочтёте однозначно принадлежащих авторству Olga V. Matveeva.

While the AIT is the de facto US Embassy in Taiwan, it is a "U.S. Government-Sponsored Nonprofit, Private Corporation", so its employees are not federal employees,. Note also that the EXIF reads "Copyright:Fabian". PD-usgov does not apply unless it can be shown that the photographer was actually an employee of the US Government. .     Jim . . .

First, it is not at all clear that it is the same person -- the one is "Fabian Ortiz" and the other is "Fabian Ortiz Gutierrez" and both names are reasonably common. Second, there is nothing in the Linked-In listing to suggest that he is a photographer for the State Department -- far from it. Please remember that in order for an image to be PD-USGov, the photographer must have taken the photograph as part of his job for the US government. .     Jim . . .

To do so, simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments. Your user name or IP address (if you are not logged in) and a timestamp will then automatically be added when you save your comment. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). Thank you.

  •  Oppose You have made yourself very clear, but unfortunately, what you say is incorrect. The source video is not copyright free -- almost all works, including this one, have a copyright from the moment of creation. In order for an image to be kept on Commons, it must be freely licensed by the copyright holder. The source video is not freely licensed, so the deletion was correct.

My images do not violate the copyright policies of Wikimedia Commons. I linked the specific policy on the Philadelphia Museum of Art website that explains images are public domain in the permission section specifically to avoid you deleting all of my uploads again. You have done this in the past and referenced "fair use" as an inappropriate copyright for this platform but failed to scroll down on our Terms of Use page before deleting everything. The text in the "Use of Images of Artworks" section specifically states "These images are generally of artworks in the public domain." [15] The statement referencing "fair use" is in a different section that does not refer specifically to images from the museum website. I have also met with Philadelphia Museum of Art leadership to confirm that our images are in the public domain and was referred to the page I linked above and in the permissions section of my image.

A clear example of hair growths in the human private part: pubic hair, anal hair, and thigh hair.

File:Pfarrkirche Allerheiligen (Innsbruck), Altarmosaik.JPG

Why was this file deleted without discussion? In Austria, Freedom of Panorama also refers to the interior of public buildings. --Luftschiffhafen (talk) 19:43, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

 Info This was deleted after public discussion here: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Pfarrkirche Allerheiligen (Innsbruck), Altarmosaik.JPG. Thuresson (talk) 20:47, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
Where do you see a discussion? There is an empty page, no discussion. I had the file on my watchlist and didn't get any notification. Or maybe it drowned in all these meaningless bot changes of Wikidata stuff. There has to be a better was of informing people about files threatend to be deleted. --Luftschiffhafen (talk) 20:51, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose Austrian FOP covers 2D works. According to the file description, this is an altar mosaic, so it is presumably permanent. However, Austrian FoP does not cover art works that are inside buildings. The only interior things covered by FoP are "works, which themselves are components of the structure". An altar mosaic is not a component of the structure. Please refer to the check list at Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Austria#Freedom of panorama..     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:14, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

This is a very narrow interpretation of FoP, maybe according to the wording, but not the spirit of a reasonable copyright law. By the way, official language in Austria is German, not English as in the page you link to. --Luftschiffhafen (talk) 20:51, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

Nothing to do. The question has been answered. Ankry (talk) 16:22, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

Which question? The discussion is being shut down before it even started... Luftschiffhafen (talk) 20:51, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
(Reopened UnDR) Ankry was referring to your original question, "Why was this file deleted without discussion?" which was answered above. I also note that Commons:Deletion requests/File:Pfarrkirche Allerheiligen (Innsbruck), Altarmosaik.JPG was open for a month and a half -- there was plenty of opportunity for discussion, but there is no way to force discussion when no one raises one.
Of course Austrian law is in German, not English. If you think that the translation is incorrect, please give us the German. As far as the spirit of the law, as I read the law in English, Austrian FoP for interiors applies only to the architecture and not to works of art which are inside a building. If your interpretation were correct, then all 2D works in museums and elsewhere would be covered by the FoP and images of them could be uploaded to Commons. That is plainly not our understanding of the Austrian law. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:11, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 Comment it appears this is because of our FOP map and COM:Freedom of panorama/table listing Austria as one of the countries with liberal FOP provision.

File:ABC 123 currently MN plate from my collection.png

Has been deleted for no reason without even the matter being decided. Some here should think before making hasty decisions ... see discussions during the first deletion and in particular details of Taivo. These are my pictures that are ALWAYS targeted by the same people while other IDENTICAL pictures posted by other users are tolerated. I would like to understand this relentlessness. Thanks Drake317 (talk) 16:58, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

 Oppose The artwork on the license plate is complex enough so that it has a copyright. There is no evidence that the state of Minnesota has issued a free license for this copyright. Therefore the image infringes on the copyright and cannot be kept on Commons.

As for the "hasty decision", I note that Commons:Deletion requests/File:ABC 123 currently MN plate from my collection.png was open for discussion for almost four months. Since the rules call for closure in a week, i wonder how you can possibly believe that this was a hasty decision. As for your being targeted, you are known for having uploaded a variety of copyrighted license plates and therefore one or more of our colleagues keeps an eye on your uploads. So, yes, in a sense you have been targeted.

You don't give us any examples of copyrighted license plates that have not been deleted. Please remember that very simple plates, such as your South Dakota plate, do not have a copyright. Also, any plate issued before March 1, 1989 will usually be PD from lack of copyright notice. Finally, all copyrighted works of several states, including Florida and California, are PD by state law. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:27, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

In this case for these Minnesota plates they are the same since 1978, or even since 1987 if we take into account the slight modification of the design. Given the age of this design, they fit in the plates "without copyright" and that was the argument that allowed the restoration at the time.

"You don't give us any examples of copyrighted license plates that have not been deleted"... it's a joke ???? Very well. On example in this case, why does this plate still exist when my picture was deleted without the possibility of restaure it despite an undeletion request that I made, and that MOREOVER, Ankry had deleted the picture following my remark ? Uploads made by american users would be privileged over those made by non-american users ? I don't mean to be rude, but I feel like I'm being taken for a fool. Drake317 (talk) 20:00, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Drake317, I agree that the Nebraska plate is a marginal case, but the only copyrightable element in it is the sower in the center and it is so obscured by the numeral nine that I think it is de minimis. And. by the way, what makes you think any of us have any idea where you are from? The only information we have that might tell us anything is the times you make edits, but that wouldn't be very accurate and none of us have the time to even think about it. Please remember that the 25 or so very active Admins who make more than half of the 2,000 or so deletions needed every day work very fast -- we don't have time to play the sort of games you suggest. An Admin who was not completely neutral in their work would sooner or later be an ex-Admin. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:37, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
(Jameslwoodward) Not a marginal case. We are also talking about the Kansas license plates that were removed and then handed over by others ? The sower in the center is clearly visible, but however not as much as in my picture. I therefore wish to know and above all to UNDERSTAND why an IDENTICAL license plate that I inserted knowing that my photo was of better quality, was deleted despite a request for restoration, while this one still exists despite a deletion made by Ankry. Even a Virginia license plate I put in was deleted and my restoration request refused because of a miniature boat that could have passed for a de minimis, without success. Just like you, I also don't have time to constantly make undeletion requests because some people stalk me with the blessing of others who delete without thinking and taking me for an idiot.

  • @Jameslwoodward: We try our best to not use stock photos on our organization's website. I had gone through the website and found one which has been removed. Please let me know which images you felt to be stock photos and I shall be happy to explain. Images used on our site are almost always created by the organization or by our members and we have been permitted to share it on our site. Other media works have been used on social media platforms but in the end the organization is the original creator.--IT KMDK (talk) 20:57, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Poster for film's Australian Theatrical Release. 2014.

Hello, This image is a film poster for a film that I have directed and produced (titled CANOPY). It is a work that I have also created and hold the copyright for.

I wish to upload it to the CANOPY film page in Wikipedia.

Please let me know what else I might need to do to not have this image deleted. Here is a link to the CANOPY page on my website, if it is help: https://www.aaronwilsonfilm.com/canopy

  •  Oppose This image has (or these images have) appeared on the Internet without a free license prior to being uploaded here (or appear(s) to have based on the small size and lack of EXIF metadata), and was (or were) thus deleted by an Administrator. Policy requires that the actual copyright holder, which is almost always the photographer or image designer, must send a free license directly using VRTS. Ankry (talk) 08:53, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
