Problème sur une validation d'oeuvre que vous venez de faire

Je souhaite vous contacter, mais ne suis pas encore très expert dans les procédures. Est-ce possible par mail ? J'ai demandé la supression d'une image sous copyright, et vous n'avez pas retenu cette demande. Je souhaite pouvoir vous prouver le problème, étant le détenteur des droits sur cette image.

Deletion of file under afp-logo.png

This message refers to a deletion you made on January 2, 2011 at 6:53 a.m. under

http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Psychonaut01&diff=0&oldid=39441630

The file I wanted to use was already in wikipedia. It was in the Bavarian section of the net. According to what the person there said, the file I wanted to use did not qualify for copyright, because it did not meet the protection standards. It was void of originality, therefore it could be used. Hence, there is no copyright violation.

This person is to be found in bar.wikipedia.org under the URL

http://bar.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Kazu89

and he goes by the name "André".

This DR

This is a DR I filed on another image by this uploader. It concerns one image the uploader uploader uploaded which you later deleted. I doubt it can be kept without OTRS...and there is none. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 19:57, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

File:Minotaurasaurus_BW.jpg

Hi. I noticed the image Minotaurasaurus_BW.jpg has been deleted. The uploader, Nobu Tamura is a highly respected paleo-artist who always publishes his own work under a Creative Commons license; I'd advise you look further into this as I highly doubt it was a copyvio. Thanks! Bob the Wikipedian (talk - contribs) 06:18, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

OK, I restored the image, but I think that this file needs an OTRS permission. Yann (talk) 07:15, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Shouldn't the {{self|GFDL|cc-by-3.0}} be enough? Last I checked, self-created images don't require OTRS if released under such a free commercial use license. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 00:31, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

In this case, no because 1. it is not self evident that it is a self-created work; 2. the uploader is not the creator; 3. it is already published on the Web. Yann (talk) 07:23, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

I have sent an email to Mr. Tamura at the address listed at Palaeocritti (the website the would-be offending images appear on). I'll forward you his response so it can be documented with OTRS. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 06:24, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I am the creator of this image and allowing its use on wikipedia. NobuTamura (talk) 06:27, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Wow. Email-summoning really works pretty nicely, it would seem. Looks like my work's done here, you two can sort this out. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 06:48, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi,
You just suppressed File:Affiche Cave affinage Juraflore - Fort des Rousses 01 by Line1.JPG which I uploaded some time ago.
But I was not warned, nor did I see anything on my Watchlist.

Watford Cheetahs logo

Hi Yann. I noticed you correctly deleted the image File:CheetahsLogoplain.PNG as it was using the incorrect license. Would you be able to email me a copy of this file so that I can upload it to Wikipedia using the correct fair use license for logos? Many thanks, Bettia (talk) 11:55, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

OK, please send me your mail address, I will send you a copy of the logo. Yann (talk) 12:03, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Encyclopédie

I've been messing around with this section, since I found it very confusing. (I hope I'm helping and not mucking it up through ignorance. You may notice that my knowledge of French is minimal.) I was looking for an article in the JPG category of volume 11 and it seems to be missing pages 760–797 (at least they're not where they seem like they ought to be). I see them on the French Wikisource, so I guess they are in the DJVU files. Should these be added to the JPG category on Commons? Or am I missing something? Thanks for help. --Robert.Allen (talk) 12:12, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Some of the planches PNG files produce "Error creating thumbnail: Invalid thumbnail parameters or PNG file with more than 12.5 million pixels". Do you know whether there are plans to somehow correct these? Otherwise I will upload JPG files to replace them. (I don't know whether this error is produced by my Safari browser or the Wikipedia server.) --Robert.Allen (talk) 01:47, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes, this a (more or less intentional) bug of MediaWiki. Producing thumbnails of big PNG files require a lot of resources. Therefore it is disable if the file is more than 12.5 million pixels. So either create a JPEG or a smaller PNG file. It is important to keep the big files as archives though. Yann (talk) 06:23, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. It must have been frustrating to discover this after uploading so many files. I started already adding some JPGs, hoping I would not be wasting my time. Re the old files: I'm adding "other version" links from JPG to PNG and from PNG to JPG. Also, putting the too "large PNG" files into a subcategory for each volume category, and trying to remember to update the Gallery page links, and hoping this will all be OK. I was unaware of Diderot's encyclopedia until a few days ago. A lot has been done, but obviously there's always more to do. --Robert.Allen (talk) 06:45, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes, the proofreading is just started. With 17 volumes, and 18,000 pages of text, there is more to do... I think this is a direct ancestor of Wikipedia, by the spirit it was written, as well as by the extend of the subjects covered at the time. Yann (talk) 07:02, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

SNSD Shanghai images

None of the images are photographs. This is very clear from the shitty quality of the image as well as the fact that it lacks any form of EXIF data. It is a screencap from some sort of video recording and not originally owned by the uploader. File:SNSD 00 Shanghai 2010-04-17.jpg, File:Hyoyeon Shanghai 2010-04-17.jpg, File:Jessica Shanghai 2010-04-17.jpg, File:Sunny Shanghai 2010-04-17.jpg, File:Yuri Shanghai 2010-04-17.jpg, and File:Yoona Shanghai 2010-04-17.jpg are all under this category. I don't know why you decided to untag several of them. They are clear copyvios.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 07:16, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Well, you didn't explain why you want them to be deleted. Yann (talk) 09:51, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

If u realy think this is the reason for deleting my file, I will find someone who could read better then me, and I will do more portraits.

Smileys

Re:Commons:Deletion requests/File:SmileyOriginal.jpg, what was your reason for deletion? The Smiley face logos cannot be copyrighted as they entered the public domain in the 60s and besides they do not have sufficient originality, e.g. see [1] - copyright and trademark are not the same. It's a pity to see the word of an editor with a probable COI taken at face value like that. Fences and windows (talk) 19:22, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Restore request of deleted file

Hi Yann. I see you undeleted one of my files File:Masjid_Al_Haram._Mecca,_Saudi_Arabia.jpg Another one that is from Saudi was also deleted under the same pretext. Could you please Undelete Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Masjid_Nabawi._Medina,_Saudi_Arabia.jpg ?

Many thanks, -- Ali Imran Feb 13, 2010

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Masjid Nabawi. Medina, Saudi Arabia.jpg and Commons:Deletion requests/File:Masjid Al Haram. Mecca, Saudi Arabia.jpg

As you well know, neither our rules nor our aim to be civil to one another allow you to arbitrarily reverse another Admins actions. If you disagree with a closure, you have three ways of dealing with it:

1. A request on the closing Admin's talk page.
2. Reopening the DR, including restoring the tag on the image file
3. Entering an undeletion request

Simply reverting my action is not one of them -- I would be fully within my rights to simply delete your action -- post-closure comments can be deleted on sight.

As for this particular case, while the Al-Masjid al-Nabawi mosque is ancient, the facade and building which occupies these images is modern. The green dome of the original building can be barely be seen in the middle of one of the images. The modern building surrounds it.

If we are going to respect architect's rights anywhere, this is certainly a case where we should, as except for the green dome, virtually everything else in the images is modern.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 11:35, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

This is more a general view of the city. I don't understand how the architecte could claim a copyright on this image. Using caution doesn't mean we need to be overzealous in deleting files. Yann (talk) 13:03, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Are we looking at the same picture? Everything in the image, except the green dome and the four or five buildings in the far back -- everything -- is the modern mosque. But that is beside the point -- what about your restoring it without process or civility?      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 13:32, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Category:Murghab River

You restored Category:Murghab River. You restored it as a redirect.

Forgive me for nit-picking, but I am going to suggest the other name should really redirect to Category:Murghab River, and not vice versa.

I am going to suggest that Category:Murghab River should be the base category for several reasons:

1. Another contributor emptied Category:Murghab River without any prior discussion. I suggest that emptying was inappropriate. It seems to have been a newbie mistake. I suggest this is a strong reason why Category:Murghab River should be the basename.
2. Letting the newbie get away with this newbie mistake sends the message that emptying existing categories, without discussion is OK. But, it isn't OK. It is disruptive.
3. As per the discussion, transliteration of names from Afghanistan is tricky. As per the discussion the only variant used on official Afghan government websites is Murghab River, not Morghab River. I suggest this too is a strong reason why Category:Murghab River should be the basename.

Thanks Geo Swan (talk) 02:14, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

File:FrankLucas11.15.08ByLuigiNovi.jpg

Hi. I notice that you deleted my photo of Frank Lucas because it was, according to the Frank Lucas WP article's edit history, a "copyright violation". This must've been a mistake, as it's my photo, and I'm fairly certain that I uploaded it correctly with the Attribution 3.0 license, just as I did with all the other photos I took at the November 2008 Big Apple Convention, such as this one, for example. Why was no notice placed on my talk page? Nightscream (talk) 04:09, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Can you tell me who tagged it? I don't know they concluded that I was the one doing the copyright violation, since I'm the one who took that photo. Apparently it didn't occur to the person who tagged it that it was the blogspot user who was violating my copyright, even though my name appears in the photo's name in that url you linked to. I've seen hundreds of my photos being used all over the web without proper credit, as indicated by the license, and this appears to be one more.

Question: Can you tell me who tagged it, and also, the blogspot page of the user who put it on their blog? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 14:13, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Réponse (et excuses)

Bonjour, Je l'avoue mes réponses ont pu être un peu sèches. Cependant, je n'ai pas beaucoup aimé votre suggestion et je pense qu'il est de mon devoir d'informer les gens des risques qu'ils prennent en publiant des photos prises en France. Le dernier rempart pour se protéger contre des poursuite et des actions judiciaires est la bonne foi. Vous avez commis une action répréhensible et quelqu'un vous a mis en demeure, la façon la plus simple de s'en sortir: des excuses et la correction de l'erreur. Cependant, ce que vous avez proposé est à la fois interdit par la loi et hors de la bonne foi. Vous proposez donc de contourner la loi en toute conscience de cause et cela pourrait se retourner contre vous. Il n'est pas acceptable de prendre une photo d'un ensemble d'objets comprenant une oeuvre d'art en clamant la clause de minimis pour ensuite l'utiliser pour montrer cette oeuvre d'art en particulier. Par exemple, plusieurs personnes m'ont dit que cette image était acceptable puisque les éléments qui pourraient être soumis au copyright (genre le logo de LG) sont inclus dans la photo sans qu'il soit possible de les y enlever. Cependant, couper la photo pour faire ressortir le logo de LG et le mettre sur la page de la compagnie serait très certainement une violation du droit d'auteur. De la même façon, prendre une photo d'une vallée et d'un viaduc soumis à un droit d'auteur et l'utiliser avec le sous-titre: Le viaduc de blablabla est à mon avis (et je suis pas mal certain que c'est un avis partagé) tout à fait dans le domaine de la contrefaçon en France. C'est malheureux, nous le déplorons tous, mais c'est comme ça. Recevez mes excuses si vous avez senti que j'ai été rude avec vous. Cependant, j'espère que vous prendrez le temps de lire COM:FOP et COM:DW qui vous expliqueront comment la démarche que vous proposez n'est pas acceptable. De plus, je suis très sensible aux arguments du type fr:Deux faux font un vrai. C'est une façon très peu convaincante d'argumenter et j'aimerais que vous portiez le débat sur des textes de lois, des recommendations ou des règles de Commons pour supporter votre argumentaire. Au plaisir de discuter encore et dans le plus grand respect, Letartean (talk) 12:38, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Problem with the deletion of User:Wolfgang Pehlemann's licenses

Hiyas Yann,

I just saw that at least some of the photos contributed by Wolfgang are now without any license at all. While I totally agree with the invalidity of those license additions by Wolfgang, from my POV the deletion decision itself should've been more a signal to Wolfgang that his additions are a) invalid and b) not wanted on Commons so that he himself would've had a chance to change either the license or remove the images from common. But the status quo isn't really the optimal solution as there's no license at all.

Merci pour ton temps et je te souhait une bon week-end ;)

If it is your own work, you need to send a permission, as it was first published outside Commons. This is to protect your rights, otherwise anyone could publish an album cover here, and claim that it is his own work. See COM:OTRS for details. Yann (talk) 20:33, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Images deletion

Why did you deleted speedydelete tags from my pictures? According to point VIII.2. of CC-BY-2.5-PL as the copyright holder I can demand to have my files deleted. License IS irrevocable. Plus quit changing attributions, what the hell? I've done the same thing with other picture and it was deleted within minutes. Files in question: Vultee (talk) 11:53, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Untrue. For example I can download and upload files again as CC-BY-2Bulwersator (talk) 12:17, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Please, undelete File:Joanna_Mucha.jpg Bulwersator (talk) 12:41, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Vultee, I assume you meant to say that the license is revocable, but it's not. Section VIII 2 of the Polish version of CC-by-2.5 corresponds to Section 7 b of the English version. That section says that the license is perpetual (or irrevocable, meaning it cannot be revoked). It says that you can stop distributing the work, but that you cannot stop Commons or anyone else from distributing the work under the original license. —LX (talk, contribs) 12:56, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Right, LX. Undeleted File:Joanna Mucha.jpg and also reverted the license change there. --Martin H. (talk) 13:26, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Castoriadis/Maxwell Image Altered Without Proper Authorization?

Dear Yann:

I was surprised to see that the image http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cornelius_Castoriadis_with_dancer-choreographer_Clara_Gibson_Maxwell.jpg#file which you had moved for reasons that I didn't fully understand, has now been edited to crop out one of the two people in the image: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cornelius_Castoriadis.jpg

I thought that I was giving people authorization to use the image but not to cut it up (alter it). Did something happen when you changed the location? Or did I make a mistake originally? It makes no sense to cut out one of the two individuals and still say that this is a portrait of the two.* Can this be cleared up so that the picture remains intact, as I had originally intended? Thanks in advance for your help. I'm no computer wizard.

Sincerely, David Ames Curtis

• "I have known Ms Clara Gibson Maxwell for over 11 years now. I have followed continually her work, and watched all the performances she gave in the Paris area. We have had extended and frequent discussions relative to her conception of dance, of its relation to the whole of culture and of its possible role in the contemporary social and historical situation. During her performances, I have been impressed by the strength of her technique, the elegance of her movements and the richness and originality of the choreography. ...I have been equally impressed, during our discussions, by the solidity, relevance and incisive character of her thinking about contemporary dance. Being myself a philosopher..., I listened with attention to what she had to say and found myself in agreement with her most of the time. ....La Cartésienne was a brilliant and effective illustration of the manner she is working to weave together philosophical reflection and contemporary dance." - Cornelius Castoriadis (1922-1997), Director of Studies, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales

Bonjour, J'ai renommé votre photo pour lui donner un nom plus parlant. En déposant votre photo sur Commons, vous autorisez explicitement les modifications qui peuvent lui être apportées. C'est le principe même d'une licence libre. Vous avez aussi donné l'autorisation de la copier et de la vendre. Avez-vous lu le message que vous envoyé ? Cordialement, Yann (talk) 17:25, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for this response. My intention was to allow use of the photo, not to have it cut up so that it the result contradicts the title. How do I do that? Aren't there different types of licenses? I thought I had done that, but I'm not sure where the original page is anymore, as it was moved. Sorry, again, but as I said I'm no computer expert. Also, I never received any notification of this unauthorized change to the image. Why is that? I thought I clicked "watch this page." Doesn't that do it? Sincerely, David Ames Curtis

Looking forward to hearing back from you. I notice that at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cornelius_Castoriadis.jpg the attribution has changed so that the title has been altered, too. Is that permissible? Sincerely, David Ames CUrtis

doubts

i am completely new here. & this place being bit dangerous because of copyrights issue, am not understanding a thing. Can you help me by replying here? Is Nehru's independence speech "Tryst with destiny" now out of bounds of copyrights as it is more than 60yrs old? Can i just download it from anywhere & upload it here? -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 17:38, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Animeshkulkarni, maybe I can help, too: I guess you are talking about Jawaharlal Nehru's speech Tryst with destiny? The speech itself could still be copyrighted if it does not count as a government's work. Are you talking of a recording? When was it made and published? If it was made and published 1947 then the recording is out of copyright.

The thoughts before are just about India. According to our copyright rules we need to obey the US law as well. The recording probably is not copyrighted but the text could be. I suggest you ask at COM:VPC - that is the correct place for such questions - not talk pages of individuals. Just copy my answer over to VPC and add explanations what you mean exactly.

We created a computer program to generate random pairings of sentences from public domain texts and public domain / creative commons images. Some of the pictures we've selected come from the Wikipedia Commons. All the pictures we select ourselves, but the pairings and the text are random. Of these pairings that are generated, we only post the most interesting combinations.

We welcome any feedback about our site.

Closure of Commons:Deletion requests/File:Leon hot air balloon festival 2010.jpg

I can't see how you can accept the line of reasoning that Tomascastelazo used here. He says, fundamentally, that anything in public is fair game, whether permanent or temporary and whether the object photographed was created with the permission of the copyright holder or not. He goes on to say that if the copyright holder has a problem with it, it is up to them to sue, not up to us to worry about it.

If we accept his reasoning, then anything is fair game. All FOP discussions go out the window, because he argues that there is (or should be) FOP everywhere for everything.

I usually shrug and walk away when one of my DRs is closed as a keep, but I'd like you to reconsider this decision. If it stands, then every single FOP discussion we have from people familiar with Commons is going to cite it as a reason keep an image regardless of the FOP rule that applies.     Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 10:48, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

I agree with Tomas in that some deletions because of copyright violation are going too far. This particular case is interesting, and I have very serious doubt that it would be considered as a copyright violation by a court. That's all. If you think I am wrong, reopen it, I won't argue about it, but Tomas has a point. Yann (talk) 16:53, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

How, then, is it different from any sculpture in the USA or France, where we regularly delete images? He's not claiming FOP here, just that anything in public should be fair game. I agree that in an ideal world, that might be a good thing, but that is not the law anywhere.

As for a court decision, I strongly suspect that the balloon itself is unlicensed, so I think that if Nickelodeon discovered it, they would be able to stop its public use immediately.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 21:41, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Why don't you ask them, instead of making assumptions? Yann (talk) 06:30, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

I don't like to stir up trouble for third parties. Although I don't think we can keep the image here, the balloon is fun. Why would I want, for the sake of one image, to ask Nickelodeon, "Hey, does this balloon have a license to your copyright?" If they don't have actual notice of its existence, they can ignore it, but once someone notifies them -- and it becomes part of the record here -- then they have to act against it.

And, of course, it's not my job to determine that the balloon does have a license -- it is the uploader's job, but he doesn't think it's important to our keeping the image.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 11:10, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Copyright law, as any other laws, is not physics or maths. There are very few black and white spots, but a lot of grey shades. I think that on Commons we apply copyright law as it were a hard science. It is not, as I have learnt during the last 15 years I have worked with Internet publication. Applying copyright law like hard science leads to wrong results as the subtilities are lost in the process. Regards, Yann (talk) 14:54, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

PD-shape copyvio?!

Hi! I got this in my watchlist:

I know what these are (were) — two of the many BSicons I created, which got properly renamed by someone else, leaving those unused redirects you now deleted. Good that you deleted them, but could we not have them tagged as copyvio? These are usually considered PD-shape or some such, and the reason for deletion was «Unused Redirect».

Hello Yann, I'm Cristina and my nickname is LaZingo. I've uploaded the images regarding the Remo Bianco's voice that you deleted because of the copyright violation. Maybe I made a mistake because of my inexperience, but I've got the permission to use these images.

With his authorization I have had an OTRS ticket from it.wiki and I was thinking that this could be give me the possibility to upload the images on other projects and on Commons too. I'm very sorry for this inconvenience, could you please help me to solve this issue? Many thanks in advance. LaZingo

Undelete

You deleted File:Horloge-republicaine0.jpg as copyvio suspect, but analogous copyvio suspect File:Horloge-republicaine1.jpg was finally kept at Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Horloge-republicaine1.jpg. So please undelete File:Horloge-republicaine0.jpg. 79.191.246.4 11:18, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Actually, Commons:Deletion requests/File:Horloge-republicaine1.jpg is still open (that's a new DR; I admit I hadn't seen the prior one when opening this.) And the uploader of File:Horloge-republicaine0.jpg as well as the IP above are ban-evading socks of User:Wikinger and should be met with nothing but block-revert-delete-ignore. I'd strongly recommend leaving this file deleted irrespective of the outcome of the DR for the others; it's block evasion, it's a distorting and falsifying crop and therefore has no educational value (out of project scope), and its only conceivable use is disruption by Wikinger on other projects where he is likewise banned. Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:09, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

I added the 2nd image to the DR. It will be dealt with when the DR is closed. Best regards, Yann (talk) 14:32, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Not sure if that is the best thing to do. File 1 was a good-faith upload with a genuine educational use on several wikis, there is currently a good-faith effort at procuring a free release underway, and deletion depends solely on the copyright issue. File 0 was uploaded by a banned user, has serious issues beyond the copyright question, and never had any good-faith use on any project; its very presence here on Commons serves no other purpose than to invite yet more disruption by sock accounts trying to insert it on projects where they have no business doing anything.

Confusion de pages ?

Salut Yann,
Il me semble que les déplacements que tu as effectués concernant les pages Commons:Deletion requests/File:One eskimO.jpg et Commons:Deletion requests/Commons:Deletion requests/File:One eskimO.jpg rendent la situation incompréhensible. La DR concernant le fichier File:One eskimO.jpg semble par le fait même être devenue introuvable. Si on la cherche on tombe maintenant plutôt sur la DR de la DR que tu as mise à la place de la DR du fichier. Serait-il possible, s'il-te-plaît, de remettre les choses dans leur état antérieur ? -- Asclepias (talk) 13:19, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Deletetion of image File:UnityScreenshot.jpg

Hi Yann,

I just found out that you triggered the deletion of an image I uploaded to illustrate an article in the German WP (Unity (Spielengine)). The image "UnityScreenshot.jpg" was a screenshot of the Unity GUI I took myself, the contents inside is my own work.

I do understand the term "Derivative work of non free content" but I doubt it is applicable in this case: The Unity software is free to use for own (even commercial) works. This is explicitly stated in the EULA of the software: http://unity3d.com/unity/unity-end-user-license-3.x Would you please reconsider the removal of the image?

Kind regards, --Tmfroehlich (talk) 21:37, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Korean Vulva

Hello Yann,

I would appreciate you reconsidering your close of the deletion discussion for this image http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Korean_Vulva2.jpg

The reason that we have deletion discussions is too consider whether there is something particular about an image that we need to consider.

It would be very unethical for someone to take this picture and upload it without this persons consent. We do not know whether the person gave consent or not. It was taken in a private location (bedroom) and there no indication that the person was aware that the image was being taken. We are at risk of exploiting this person. And if someone else uses it they are at risk of exploiting this person, too.

The spirit of the Com:PEOPLE is that people have the right to control the way that they are portrayed. While often having the face not appear in the image can stop the exploitation, that would not be true in this instance. She would be easily identifiable to herself and other people who knew her well, or had access to images of her body or her bedroom, or knew what they looked like.

Keep in mind that this is a poor quality image that is not in use. So, the deletion will not cause any disruption to any articles. And it is very replaceable if someone would want an image of a nude female drying her hair in heels.

If this person was to contact OTRS, I have no doubt that we would agree to remove it in a heartbeat. But why should we make someone contact us to get it removed if they did not give consent. Everyday that it is on site we are giving people a free license to copy it when we have no idea whether it is truly free to use.

For these reasons, I ask you to reconsider and delete the image. Thank, FloNight♥♥♥ 00:23, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for reconsidering your close and deleting the image. I appreciate the work that you do on Commons closing the deletion discussions that reduce the back log. FloNight♥♥♥ 16:06, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

A mysterious BSicon deletion

Hi. Normally I do not care about BS-icons, but there is something mysterious with File:BSicon uABZa.svg. You deleted it with the motivation that there was no file there. Yet the file was in use, see sv:template:Linjekarta London Tramlink (and also in sv:Göteborgs spårväg). So I am puzzled. Is there a glitch in the database? Is it possible to undelete a file that does not "exist"? /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 21:17, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Deleted File

Dear Yann, you've deleted file [Evro-2012.jpg] related to Borys Kolesnikov’s article. According to your explanation there was no permission for them. It should be some mistake, because I contacted the owner on August, 25 and she gave the permission for every single photo I uploaded. I resent her permission with licensing information on August, 29 to e-mail: permissions@wikimedia.org. Here is the full list of the files which were getting the permission: File:Електропотяг Hyundai .jpg File:Борис Колесніков.jpg.

Modèle PD-GallicaScan

Salut, comme tu es l'auteur de ce modèle et qu'en plus tu es administrateur, je subodore que tu es la meilleur personne à contacter. Voilà le problème : ce modèle permet de faire des liens vers Gallica, ce qui est utile en soi ; malheureusement, ce type de lien semble obsolète sur Gallica, et il faudrait préférer les liens en ark:/ (cf. modèle ARK-BNF) qui sont plus pérennes. D'autre part, la plupart des images qui utilisent ce modèle n'ont pas de document en argument, ce qui a pour effet de générer un lien cassé qui pollue les recherches de liens externes sur Gallica. (En fait, je suis en train de tenter de mettre des liens ARK semi-automatiquement sur les documents originaires de Gallica, et ça n'est pas de la tarte, pour le moins.) Y a-t-il moyen de réparer ça ?

Video related question

Hi, Since you mention it on the VP, I took the permission to ask you a question about videos. ;o)

I made some short videos with my compact Nikon Coolpick 3100, and I would like to upload them to Commons, but some are much too big, even after conversion to Theora. See Category:Videos and sounds by Yann Forget and my questions here: Commons:Graphic Lab/Video and sound workshop‎. The biggest is 663 MB in AVI and still 133 MB in Theora.

Thanks for your help. Yann (talk) 17:32, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

There are a few opportunity to bring it up to commons: you may upload it in 2 or more parts (you can cut it in virtualdub using the <- symbol for the beginning of a part and -> for the end, push delete to cut it off, save it as avi1. Reload the source and cut of the first part and save it as avi2). Or resize it analogue the procedure described at the village pump. A command line saved as batch (~.bat) like

ffmpeg2theora.exe x-720 y-576 %1 --aspect 16:9 --index-interval 150 --keyint 300 --videobitrate 1200 --two-pass --soft-target --speedlevel 0 --audiobitrate 64
should do such a job. If the resulting ogv looks to bad, simply open the batch and replace the parameter videobitrate 1200 with 1500 or higher. --Pristurus (talk) 00:34, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

Amanda123

Hi, I'm wondering why you decided to block Amanda123 for a week for what does not appear to be anything very serious. Why are you calling this vandalism? Is there some previous action I don't know of? -mattbuck (Talk) 19:56, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

An IP created 2 DR without any reason, which I deleted. Then 12 minutes later, this account recreated the same DR, again without reason. These files are obviously not copyright violation, there are from NARA. So I think creating these DR is just disruptive behaviour, done as a revenge. Best regards, Yann (talk) 20:04, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

I saw that, but it seems to me it was just as likely a mistaken DR and that blocking is rather heavy-handed, especially without any form of communication. -mattbuck (Talk) 20:21, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

A mistake? You are not serious, isn't? A new account makes a DR as the first edit 12 mn after it was deleted. I can't see how it could be a mistake. But OK, I will add a message to this user. Yann (talk) 20:36, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
