You marked Copyright violations on material we own and it needs to be fixed

Hi Yann,

You recently marked several of the files we uploaded as possible copyright violations. We not only own the copyright, we're the ones who created the images mentioned. If you notice our screen name it is VariLoudRecords. We are the record label for Joe Vitale Jr and we posted this material for others to be able to do articles about Joe Vitale Jr's albums. We need all of these violations removed. We acknowledged when we uploaded the images that we own the material. We do not understand why you removed these images. Please remove the violation tags and correct :

• File:Joe Vitale Jr Album Cover Dancing With Shadows 2008.jpg
• File:Joe Vitale Jr Album Cover Jingle Jingle 2010.jpg
• File:Joe Vitale Jr Album Cover Talk To Me 2011.jpg

Thank you, Vari Loud Records — Preceding unsigned comment added by VariLoudRecords (talk • contribs) 02:34, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

@VariLoudRecords: Hi,

If you own the copyright of these works, you need to send a permission via email, as for all works previously published elsewhere, otherwise they will be deleted. Please see COM:OTRS for the details. Regards, Yann (talk) 10:37, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

File source is not properly indicated: File:BS Negi GOC.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:BS Negi GOC.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file ([[:File:BS Negi GOC.jpg]]). If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Report

Hello, please take a look at this report: Commons:Administrators' noticeboard#Files named with meaningless/disruptive names (motivated renaming was reverted without any valid reason) as these are serious everyday violations of the Commons rules and protection of meaningless names (in this case, Kalumny which translates as Columns). User Kazimier Lachnovič with filemover rights constantly performs violations of the Commons rules, creates instability issues and protects meaningless names, thus creates confusion. His Commons admin rights previously were lifted, but it is clear that it is not enough. -- Pofka (talk) 17:30, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

We need your feedback!

Hello. Apologies if this message is not in your native language: please feel free to respond in the language of your choice. Thank you!

I am writing to you because we are looking for feedback for a new Wikimedia Foundation project, Structured Data Across Wikimedia (SDAW). SDAW is a grant-funded programme that will explore ways to structure content on wikitext pages in a way that will be machine-recognizable and -relatable, in order to make reading, editing, and searching easier and more accessible across projects and on the Internet. We are now focusing on designing and building image suggestion features for experienced users.

We have some questions to ask you about your experience with uploading images here on Wikimedia Commons and then adding them to Wikipedia. You can answer these questions on a specific feedback page on Mediawiki, where we will gather feedback. As I said, these questions are in English, but your answers do not need to be in English! You can also answer in your own language, if you feel more comfortable.

Once the collecting of feedback will be over, we will sum it up and share with you a summary, along with updated mocks that will incorporate your inputs.

Also, if you want to keep in touch with us or you want to know more about the project, you can subscribe to our newsletter.

Hope to hear from you soon! -- Sannita (WMF) (talk to me!) 09:56, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

File tagging File:Abu Dhabi Police F999.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Abu Dhabi Police F999.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Abu Dhabi Police F999.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

N1TH Music

Yes I understand your warning but I don't understand how copyright violations work, it says when you upload a photo that you either need permission from the owner or need it to be your own photo, so I took a photo from what I thought (and still think) is a copyright free site, but now it appears some of the photos I uploaded aren't so I guess I have to be more careful, but I do not know how to find out whether something is copyrighted or not, and when you upload a photo although it says something about getting permission from someone else to upload their photo it still forces you to check the box saying that it's your own work, are there proper guidelines to proper use because I want to continue using wikipedia and wikicommons and I don't want to get blocked. Apologies for the issues, N1TH Music — Preceding unsigned comment added by N1TH Music (talk • contribs) 04:38, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

@N1TH Music: Basically, everything is copyrighted by default nowadays, except a few exceptions : US government works, very simple drawings (a square, a circle...), etc. If you are not sure, ask on Commons:Village pump/Copyright‎. Regards, Yann (talk) 20:31, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

File:A banner-flag of Ishikawa Kasumi.jpg

Hi, Yann. You reverted my edit in this file. Why reverted? This flag contains a likeness illustration of en:Kasumi Ishikawa, an active table tennis player. The author of the art may be still alive and copyright is valid now. According to COM:FOP Japan, the author should give the free licenses on the art to keep in commons. But that file doesn't contain the author and license information, so I added that tag to ask the uploader for adding information. Please re-consider the appropriate handling of this file. Regards. --Netora (talk) 09:07, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

@Netora: Hi, OK, but the issue is not the source, but the potential permission about this illustration. Author and license are mentioned for the photograph, so only the depicted subject is the issue. This may require a proper deletion request, and not simply a tag. Regards, Yann (talk) 20:36, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for working on the ones I listed. I had tagged a bunch more but had not yet put them in the list on the DR page (just a note that "This is partial list")...all of Special:ListFiles/Markuss86. Should I file a new DR for the rest?

Apologies for the sloppy error. From the guidance on non-free posters it seems I should have used that template in the licensing section.

Your deletion

Hi. Why did you delete my photograph: File:Cardiff street today - Prince Charles - Wales Doesn't Need a Prince.jpg? I took that one myself (and 5 others), and find it odd that you can question this, after uploading so many photographs. Are you a staunch Royalist? This is rather odd.

@John Jones: Hi,

First drop personal attacks, or you might be blocked.

That poster is under a copyright, and your picture is a derivative work. Freedom of panorama in UK doesn't include 2D works, so you are not allowed to upload such a picture on Commons. Regards, Yann (talk) 20:40, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

Images of Joav BarEl

Hello Yann, I'm writing about the images I've uploaded on September 13th, some of which you've deleted and some flagged. I'm new here so I understand I probably made mistakes in how I listed them, but in my understanding, they are all free to use:

File:Joav BarEl.jpg - the photographer of this image is unknown, but it is a private image the BarEl family kept and was published a few times in museum publications as a part of the family archive. We have no knowledge of other rights owners of it.

File:Joav_BarEl_on_the_beach_in_Tel-Aviv,_Israel.jpg - this too is a private family image with no known rights owners.

The BarEl family authorized the publishing of those images in Wikipedia.

the following images: File:JoavBarEl, Kennedy's Assassination.jpg (deleted) File:Joav BarEl, Center of the World.jpg (deleted) File:Joav BarEl, A Common Confusion at the Stairs.jpg File:Joav BarEl, Landscape.jpg

are all Joav's works, that were reproduced by the photographer Yair Meyuhas who was commissioned by the Mevo'ot Fund. They hold the rights to those images and they allow their publication on Wikipedia.

This image: File:Joav BarEl and Yitzhak Danziger.jpg was photographed by Drora Spitz. She waived her rights to the Mevo'ot Fund, and they authorized the publication of the image.

I'm unsure about what I need to do now in order to settle the status of the images' display, and I will appreciate your help with that matter. Please let us know how I can proceed from here.

Many Thanks Mika Nachtailer — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nachtailer (talk • contribs) 12:06, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

@Nachtailer: Hi,

File:Joav BarEl on the beach in Tel-Aviv, Israel.jpg is most probably {{PD-Israel}}. File:Joav BarEl.jpg could also be {{PD-Israel}}, but we need more information. Are you really sure that the photographer is unknown? What's the exact date of creation and/or first publication?

For the other images, the copyright holder(s) must send a permission via COM:VRT. Regards, Yann (talk) 12:30, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

@Yann:

Hi Yann, thank you. Yes we are sure the photographers are unknown. File:Joav BarEl.jpg was published a few times over the years by the Tel-Aviv Museum of Art (starting 2004, to my best knowledge) as such, and we couldn't trace any information that will declare otherwise. File:Joav BarEl on the beach in Tel-Aviv, Israel.jpg is from the 1930's. It was found at the family archive and was first publish on the Mevo'ot Fund website with a permission from the family. regarding the other images, the copyrights holder would like to send the email via COM:VRT - can we undelete the images so she could include their URLs in the mail? many thanks, Mika — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nachtailer (talk • contribs) 12:14, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Deletion of File:S East Geology.jpg

Hi! Can I ask what the copyright problem was with File:S East Geology.jpg? I nominated it myself back in July, and then un-nominated it when the public domain source was properly identified. I seem to recall that there were some lingering issues with how it was credited (something about being a derivative of another image, long since deleted?), but unfortunately I can't see the details any more, now that it's been deleted. Thanks! -- Perey (talk) 03:11, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

@Perey: Hi, Can you please add the source, the date, and the author, as well as for File:Geological map of Great Britain.jpg? Thanks, Yann (talk) 08:28, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for restoring those—I never got to see the older one until now! As it says at the bottom, the source is Stanford's Geological Atlas, and the map itself is by Horace B. Woodward. Stanford published many volumes with very similar maps: Example 1 (nearly identical), Example 2, Example 3.

There are two difficulties, though:

1. Now that I see it, the full map is in fact a file taken from the website of Dr Ian West. (That's what I thought had happened, back in July, and is why I made the deletion nomination then.) Note I say the file, not the map. Though Dr West puts his name at the bottom and says it's "after" Woodward's map, I can't for the life of me see what's different. But there could be some of Dr West's original work in this particular file, it could be a copyvio, and so we really ought to replace it with an authentic copy of an original.
2. Finding a good-quality original is difficult. The one copy that the Internet Archive has of Stanford's Geological Atlas] is missing this precise map, the frontispiece according to the contents. Their other Stanford volumes have similar but older maps. Google Image Search turns up various blurry copies, plus some good ones... that credit Dr West. And frankly, Dr West's is a very nicely cleaned-up copy.

So. The map itself is by Horace B. Woodward and is PD-old, but this specific copy was prepared by Dr Ian West, and may possibly have some copyrightable work of his own in it. I really don't know what to do here! -- Perey (talk) 14:58, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

@Perey: I created a Creator template, a category for the author, and updated the license. I also uploaded File:Geological map of Great Britain, 1878.jpg, an older but bigger version of the same map. You may want to update your crop from this file, or you could use a crop of File:Geological Survey Map of Great Britain, Sheet 2 South.jpg (use the CropTool), a much bigger and more recent map. Everything seems to be in order now. Regards, Yann (talk) 18:37, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

Target Australia logos

Hi Yann. I was just seeking a bit more clarification as to your closing message on Commons:Deletion requests/File:Target Logo.svg ("No valid reason for deletion. PD-textlogo").

As I explained thoroughly in the discussion, the threshold of originality and existing common law in Australia gives no merit to plain text public domain claims. The two images in question, File:Sign-for-Target-Myer-Centre.jpg and File:Target Logo.svg, are both Australian in origin, exceed the threshold of originality (the Aboriginal Australian flag, which is three horizontal triangles, was found to be copyrightable in court, for reference), and no identified court case has ever upheld the logic behind {{PD-textlogo}}. Per COM:EVID, the keep argument did not provide any reasonable evidence to support a number of their claims, and the evidence provided by the delete argument rather conclusively showed there was no relationship between en:Target Corporation and en:Target Australia, which was the principle keep argument. All of this together, even with what I feel is a rather clear cut case for deletion, I feel as though COM:PCP should have been rather clearly invoked given the significant evidence and disagreement.

I also feel as through your closing message did not give, what I would consider, adequate explanation or justification for your decision. I find this especially given that there were several significant arguments involved, and that your conclusion was opposite to that of the majority of respondents (there was only one user who objected to deleting, versus three supporting deletion).

I hope that I've made myself clear, and that you'll be able to provide a bit more of a justification and explanation on how you came to your conclusion :) ItsPugle (talk) 10:05, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

@ItsPugle: Hi, I honestly think that the current interpretation of Australian law on this matter is a complete nonsense. In this case, there are different opinions about the acceptability of this logo for Commons, so I have chosen what we should always do, i.e. the most favorable position for Commons. Regards, Yann (talk) 10:55, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me. Would you be able to elaborate a bit more on how the current understanding of Australian law is "complete nonsense"? The only opinion against deleting it is based around a supposed connection between the United States and Australian companies, but both companies have stated they are not related, which I think nullifies any weight to this. I'm also a little concerned about your last sentence though as that directly goes against the precautionary principle. ItsPugle (talk) 08:05, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi Yann. Just wondering if you'd be able to reply to the message I left you over a fortnight ago, on the 12th? ItsPugle (talk) 10:48, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Copyright on Columbia Pool Image

Pardon my ignorance but I wasn't sure how to deal with copyright on this. The file is in the public archives of the City of Portland. It is public record and is therefore free to reproduce.

Consultation about deletion of the logo of the baseball team Toros de Herrera de Panamá

Greetings friend Yann I have received notification that the logo of the Panama Toros de Herrera Baseball team has been deleted, which has been placed with the intention of collaboration so that it can be incorporated into this information system. Briefly I explain: In the information on the Professional Baseball League of Panama. The teams that belong to this league appear, which are made up of: Metropolitan Eagles, Astronauts from Los Santos, Federals from Chiriquí and Toros de Herrera, These baseball teams have no information on Wikipedia.

My idea is to provide the information about them within Wikipedida, so that in the Information Sheets, their logo and all the relevant information that we wish to contribute appears.

The Toros de Herrera Team was champion of the Caribbean Series of the year 2019, as you can verify.

So my interest is to fill in the relevant data of the team in said information including its Logo, which the organization has allowed me to incorporate in the Wikimedia Commos with the rights released.

Deleted content

Hello Yann, I am new on wiki commons and I am writing you to seek your help regarding the following files that have been reported for delation and/or deleted.

• File:INTERSECTION-COVER-UK 1 Ph.-Intersection-Magazine.jpg,
• File:GQ France cover.jpg,

All files are books or magazine covers. Yorgo&Co studio for whom I work authorised me to release the image work under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0. The images are already published on the company website www.yorgo.co. (I only cropped them in some cases). I wish to upload other files and hope you could help me to avoid mistakes. Should I fill a VRT for each image ? Thank you for your time and help. --Qhfofi (talk) 09:41, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Ghandi's son in New York

Hello, please see c:File:Ghandi's zoon in New York, Bestanddeelnr 901-7744.jpg. The caption in Dutch reads: "Ghandi's son in New York." Since I assume you are better informed than me on the topic of the Ghandi family, and since Mahatma had more than one son: do you know which son we are looking at? Best regards, Jeff5102 (talk) 09:26, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

@Jeff5102: Hi,

I doubt he is one of Mahatma Gandhi's sons. en:Harilal Gandhi vaguely looks like the man in the picture, but I don't think he went to USA, or any of his brothers. He could be one of his grandson (en:Kanu Gandhi (scientist), en:Arun Manilal Gandhi), but none match the age and date of this picture (with a spelling error). So either the date is wrong, or he is another person. Regards, Yann (talk) 19:24, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

User_talk:Fæ/IA_books

Most of the DR's you nudged me about were in relation to this project.

Fæ hasn't edited for a few days, and just before they ceased editing, I'd posted on VP (now removed), saying that the project really ought to be in Commons namespace, and that the support of other contributors was needed.

I'm not sure how to proceed, as amongst the nearly 1.5 million works uploaded, there will inevtiably be some that Commons cannot host, due in part to errors and omissions in the IA metadata used to assist the bulk uploading project. There are also happily as you mentioned many where a simple licence update will resolve the issue. Thanks to the efforts of other contributors some of the DR's are in this situation.

Would you please have word with your fellow admins about how to migrate the 'project' page to Commons namespace, and develop an appropriate process to review the uploads made by it?? A CCI would not be the appropriate process, as there's clearly not been bad faith on the part of the contributors undertaking it.

Fæ had previously posted about this project to Village Pump, but given the sheer level of contributions made to Commons, this may not necessarily have been noted by contributors able to assist in reviewing. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 21:56, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

@Fæ: Hi, ShakespeareFan00 has suggested to move this project to Commons namespace. Are you OK with that? Regards, Yann (talk) 09:18, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

@Yann: - Fæ seems to have left Commons, so I would suggest the issue of discussing "elevation" of this project with other admins, with a view to finding someone to 'adopt' it as a temporary measure. ShakespeareFan00 (talk)

@ShakespeareFan00: Hi, I won't move Fæ's page unless there is a consensus to do that. So you should open a discussion on COM:VP. Regards, Yann (talk) 08:30, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

@ShakespeareFan00:  Done I moved the page. Regards, Yann (talk) 20:26, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

Contested undeletion

I see you have restored the hoax image File:AflagforIraq.svg. What is the appropriate forum for requesting its redeletion? GPinkerton (talk) 18:20, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

I have a doubt

Hi, again! Many images from the Banknotes of Brazilian real category have problems. For example: File:50 Brazil real Second Obverse.jpg.

1. The description has {{Own}}, which is not true. The author is the Central Bank of Brazil.
2. Consequently the images are not in CC BY-SA 4.0 ({{Cc-by-sa-4.0}}). All these images should have {{Money-BR}}.

But there's another problem. The template says:

All images must contain the expression "SEM VALOR" placed on the picture diagonally

Edu! (talk) 19:00, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

@Edu!: Hi,

1. You can change the license with COM:VFC.

2. This is not a copyright issue, so we don't care. Regards, Yann (talk) 19:07, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

File:Binnein2018.jpg

I noticed you deleted the image I uploaded, but you made a mistake on your part because it has the license to where the image can be uploaded onto here. I guess you didn't check for the Creative Commons icon to where the image was originally uploaded. Btspurplegalaxy (talk) 16:40, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

You deleted pictures that I took

Good day In a file deletion on September 11, 3 uploaded images that I had obtained from the internet and uploaded to 3 articles were deleted. I understand the reasons and accept the policies of Wikimedia Commons

That same day 8 photographs that I myself took and uploaded were deleted, of which I don't understand why they were deleted if I have all the rights and they were even uploaded to wikimedia rather than to a website.

I wait for an answer — Preceding unsigned comment added by Garlock1 (talk • contribs) 19:41, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

@Garlock1: Hi,

I deleted your pictures because they are copyright violations, or appear to be so. Either upload the original pictures with full EXIF data if they are yours, or the copyright holder has to send a permission via COM:VRT. Additionally it could help if you give the file names, so I could look more closely, and give you a detailed answer. Regards, Yann (talk) 19:33, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

@Garlock1: Is your name Guillermo De Avila? I found it in the EXIF metadata of some of your files. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:35, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

@King of Hearts:  :@Yann: Hi

No, no, my name is Cristhian García, I work in the same institution as Guillermo de Avila, who is in charge of the Photography department, so the teams are under her name.

I make a list of the files and attach details of the photographs, to verify that I have the rights to upload them.

• File: Plaza San Juan Bautista La Salle Laguna.jpg

Authors: Guillermo de Avila Capture date: 02/26/2014 1:36 pm Copyright: Servicios Fotográficos Camera Model: Canon EOS 60D

Authors: Guillermo de Avila Capture date: 04/05/2017 07:17 am Copyright: Servicios Fotográficos Camera Model: Canon EOS 60D

For the archives of Antonio Attolini Murra we made a contract with Melchor Cadena who facilitated his studio and his team to take the photographs, I insist, of which we have all the rights.

The only infractions to the rules were applied from September 11 to the date, in which I tried to post photos that were on the internet but did not check their licenses.

I would appreciate the reestablishment of the previous photographs that if they had everything in order. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Garlock1 (talk • contribs) 19:14, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

@Boobarkee: Hi,

I didn't see the page where it is stated that these images are under a free license. I have undeleted and license reviewed them. This should be done for every images from an external website with such a permission. And sorry, I don't speak German. For the last 2 images, I am not sure what to do.

The file File:Bodo Pareigis.jpg is MFO Copyright as well. Could you please make sure, that it will not be deleted? The Mail in German states, that MFO has requested permission form the author, Prof. Dr. Gerd Fischer, which the latter has granted. Please make sure, that this will not deleted as well!

Proposed images for deletion

These images are taken more than 3 decades ago (it is obvious in some cases) and all of them taken in my country. If ANYBODY says (writes) that any of them has any copyright problem, please let me now. Γεώργιος Τερζής 2 (talk) 21:02, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

@Γεώργιος Τερζής 2: As I already said, it doesn't work that way. YOU have to prove that the images are in the public domain with all proper information: source, date and place of first publication, author, etc. Yann (talk) 21:04, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

OK, shall I put the information needed in the description of the images? Γεώργιος Τερζής 2 (talk) 10:38, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

I have added information on this image : File:Nikos Galis DSC 0136~2.jpg I don't know if this is enough. Have in mind that all my images are part of the whole image. That's why I wrote that this is my own work. According to the Greek laws (as my lawyer said) this is a public domain. Thank you, waiting for your answer. Γεώργιος Τερζής 2 (talk) 13:20, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

@Γεώργιος Τερζής 2: Here are the copyright rules for Greece: Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Greece. In short, copyright lasts for 70 years after the author death. This image being from 1987, it is obviously not in the public domain. You need the formal written permission from the photographer to upload it here. Regards, Yann (talk) 21:21, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the copyright rules in Greece. I didn't know that exist in wikipedia. Simple question: The first photographer is unknown. How can I take something from an unknown person. Second question: As I wrote, these images are not the full ones. I keep them for myself. So if anyone says that this is my photograph, my answer will be that this is not yours as the uploaded one (which is a part) is taken and chosen by me. That's why I insist on it. Thank you. Γεώργιος Τερζής 2 (talk) 22:08, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

@Γεώργιος Τερζής 2: Even if you don't known the photographer, it may not be really unknown. Anyway, works by anonymous people are usually protected for 70 years after the first publication. Regards, Yann (talk) 22:20, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

More of this my lawyer provided with a decision of a court in Greece. The photographers keep these rights only if THEY PROVE THAT THEIR IMAGE has "innvetevess" (I' m not sure if I have chosen the appropriate word), and this can't be regarded for well known persons (eg. ministers, movie stars, athletes etc). So the living photographers of this case lost the trial. Thank you for your time. Γεώργιος Τερζής 2 (talk) 22:37, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

That means THEY ARE NOT PROTECTED (at least in my country). Thank you. Γεώργιος Τερζής 2 (talk) 22:42, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Did you know any photographer in Greece of the 1980s? Nobody knows... Γεώργιος Τερζής 2 (talk) 22:45, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

AND I WILL WRITE AGAIN : THIS IS MY IMAGE AND THIS IS MY ORIGINAL NAME. I DON'T WRITE WITH PSEYVONYMS AS I HAVE NOTHING TO BE AFRAID. Once more, thank you. Γεώργιος Τερζής 2 (talk) 22:54, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

And finally : I never asked these images to be included in commons. This is NOT my purpose. Γεώργιος Τερζής 2 (talk) 22:58, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

missing SDC copyright licenses and states

Hey Yann: Exactly what will be the meaning of if the words "missing SDC copyright status" or licenses show up? And furthermore, what would the letters SDC really stand for?

Hi I don't really understand why... some of photos are photos of nature, that are my work. Thanks for explenation. SuchaKlub (talk) 20:51, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

@SuchaKlub: Hi,

Your images were copied from another website. If they are yours, why don't you upload the original pictures? Otherwise, you will need to confirm the license with email. Please see COM:VRT for the procedure. Regards, Yann (talk) 21:01, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

Most of those photos werr stored on my Google Photos cloud, that's why I downloaded them... but still all my photos are from public performances of performers, who know they are being documented by photo. SuchaKlub (talk) 16:40, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Closure question

Hi Yann. I'm curious how you made the "Keep" decision for Commons:Deletion requests/File:101100-style air data boom.jpg, considering the source is a commercial entity, rather than NASA as stated. It just doesn't make sense. Thanks. — Huntster (t @ c) 14:06, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Andy Dingley is right. There is no substantial doubt that NASA is the author. The source doesn't matter here. Regards, Yann (talk) 14:55, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for responding, and for clarifying in the closure section. I can't fathom how either of you came to that conclusion, but I'm not going to beat my head against this brick wall. — Huntster (t @ c) 15:17, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

How to add logos for wikidata properly?

Hi Yann, thank you for pointing out that my submissions are not adequate for commons. Unfortunatly I thing it's hard to find relyable information on how to submit

• logos of commercial companies
• logos of open projects

My goal is to refer them from wikidata, so the information chunks get a bit more illustrated. I thought that at least open projects (even without proper attribution) can be added to commons? And is the right way for company logos to redraw it and upload it with my attribution? --MyRobotron (talk) 07:07, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

@MyRobotron: Complex logos have a copyright. They can't be accepted on Commons without a written permission from the copyright holder. They may be accepted on some Wikipedias (English, French, etc.) under some conditions. Regards, Yann (talk) 15:00, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Yeah I see this point, but struggle why some logos of major (and minor) companies are available, while others aren't? How can I judge if a logo is complex or could be shared as a personal drawn image? How can I understand that

has so many famous brands, which obviously didn't grant permission, but it's logos are simple enough for a legal copy? (sorry for so much questions, but I don't see any way how I can add logos to wikidata -.- ) --MyRobotron (talk) 20:22, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

@MyRobotron: Wikidata doesn't accept fair use, so you can't add complex logos there, unless there is a permission from the copyright holder, or the logo is in the public domain (that may be the case for some old US logos, where there was no notice and/or no copyright renewal). Copyright treshold depends on the country, so it is very complex. Some countries have a high treshold (e.g. USA, Germany), while others have a very low treshold (e.g. UK, Australia). Please see COM:TOO for examples. Regards, Yann (talk) 20:33, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Commons Photographers User Group: first board election

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

In preparation of the first board election of our group, I invite you to take a look at the following page:

• Commons:Commons Photographers User Group/Board Elections 2021

and provide feedback. I've listed a number of positions for our first board and I've also outlined a possible timeline for the elections. The current plan is to open the self-nomination process up on November 15 and then have the election start on December 1.

I'm super excited to get this going and I'm very much looking forward to hearing from you. Please use this talk page for your thoughts.

I hope you're safe and well, and I wish you all the best! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 23:56, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

The Lost World

Hello Yann, j'espère que tu vas bien. Le film a déjà été présenté comme MOTD dans une version teinte d'origine et de meilleure résolution. Cordialement, — Racconish ^💬 08:46, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

@Racconish: Salut,

Ah oui ici : Template:Motd/2017-08#13. J'ai récupéré une version avec une définition vraiment meilleure, mais je n'arrive pas à l'importer (par dessus File:The Lost World (1925), full.ogv) sur Commons à cause de plusieurs bugs empêchant les importations de gros fichiers. Cordialement, Yann (talk) 12:42, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Pas compris : je l'ai déjà televersé. Cordialement, — Racconish ^💬 14:49, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

@Racconish: Une version 1080p qui fait 1,7 Go ? Où ça ? Yann (talk) 15:22, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Yann, je te disais simplement (1) que le film a déjà été présenté comme MOTD et (2) que la version présentée est meilleure que celle que tu proposes, deux raisons, à mon avis, pour ne pas proposer cette dernière version à nouveau comme MOTD. Maintenant s'il s'agit de dire qu'on pourrait téléverser une meilleure version, c'est vrai, et je vais m'en occuper, pour la version originale teintée, mais je ne crois pas que ce soit une raison pour présenter le film à nouveau comme MOTD. Cordialement, — Racconish ^💬 22:29, 4 November 2021 (UTC) —  Done 22:54, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

@Racconish: Vu la discussion en ce moment à propos de MOTD, proposer à nouveau ce film dans une version haute-définition me semble une bonne idée. Cette version est-elle celle que j'ai importée sur IA ? Cordialement, Yann (talk) 06:58, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Yann, j'ai mis à jour File:The Lost World (1925).webm avec deux améliorations ; la résolution, 950 x 720 au lieu de 480 x 360, et la durée, 01:42:25 au lieu de 01:32:23, à partir d'une source YouTube que j'ai précisée. La source est le dvd Lobster/Flicker Alley qui comporte une dizaine de minutes de séquences retrouvées ne figurant pas dans la version antérieure. La source Internet Archive que tu as utilisée pour File:The Lost World (1925), full.ogv n'est pas précisée sur Internet Archive mais elle est manifestement de moins bonne qualité, plus courte et noir et blanc alors que le film est teinté dans toutes les versions d'exploitation. En tout état de cause, File:The Lost World (1925), full.ogv est une version moins bonne que File:The Lost World (1925).webm, que ce soit dans le téléversement d'origine de cette dernière ou a fortiori dans la mise à jour que je viens d'en faire et je ne vois aucune raison valable de préférer cette version. Par ailleurs, je suis au courant de la discussion en cours sur MOTD mais elle n'a pas permis de dégager de consensus. Nous avons des tonnes de très beaux films jamais montrés en MOTD et je ne suis pas partisan de pratiquer ici un passage en force. Au total, il me semble préférable de remplacer ta version de qualité inférieure de The Lost World (qui devrait à mon sens être supprimée) par autre chose, par exemple File:Sherlock Holmes (1916).webm. Cordialement, — Racconish ^💬 07:59, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

@Racconish: Je trouve les couleurs vraiment moches. C'est pourquoi j'ai cherché une version en N&B que j'ai téléchargée avec un fichier Torrent (7AA48F18C2B9FA37C4F0190B6801D8481118A057, 1.66 GB, 23.976 fps, 1920 x 1080). Mais on peut attendre que la discussion soit terminée avant de proposer à nouveau ce film. Cordialement, Yann (talk) 10:16, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Yann, le jugement de goût mis à part, j'ai l'impression que tu considères que les films muets sont nécessairement en noir et blanc, ce qui est faux. Outre les colorations au pochoir, de nombreux films étaient teints dans des couleurs signifiantes. Par exemple le bleu pour la nuit, l'ocre pour le jour, le vert pour les scène fantastiques, etc. Il n'y a aucune raison de considérer qu'un noir et blanc est plus conforme à l'original que la version teintée quand celle-ci est d'origine [3]. Ce procédé n'a rien à voir avec la colorisation digitale de vieux films. Voir [4] ou [5]. La version que tu as téléversée n'a donc ni l'avantage de la durée (trop courte, scènes manquantes), ni celui de la résolution (trop basse), ni celui de la couleur (noir et blanc non conforme à la version d'origine). Cordialement, — Racconish ^💬 12:16, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

@Racconish: J'ai bien compris que certains vieux films étaient montrés au public dans une version colorée, mais cette couleur est un ajout postérieur à la prise de vue. Je veux bien que l'on garde une version colorée quand celle ci date de l’époque de la production, mais on devrait aussi avoir une version en N&B, comme on a plusieurs versions avec des montages différents. Cordialement, Yann (talk) 12:34, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Peu importe que la post-production soit postérieure au tournage, ce qui compte c'est qu'il s'agisse de l'intention de l'auteur et non d'une modification ultérieure, voire anachronique, qui ne corresponde pas à l'intention de celui-ci. Au cas particulier, il n'y a aucun doute que la version d'exploitation, celle qui a été présentée aux spectateurs lors de la sortie du film, était teinte, comme l'étaient beaucoup de films de l'époque. Cela n'a pas de sens d'affirmer qu'une version noir et blanc devrait être plus conforme à une prétendue vérité historique s'il est établi, comme c'est le cas ici, que le film est bien sorti en version teinte.

Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Earwax on swab.jpg

I've been going through FPCs to get some stats. As part of this, I've fixed some results where the maths was wrong. So far, this hasn't changed the result of any candidate. But it does in the above one. The FPC bot tallied 8 oppose votes and recorded that draft result. Then JovanCormac struck one vote according to "new rules", which I guess concerned number of contributions necessary. You then reviewed the FPC bot but didn't spot the oppose vote count had changed. According to the rules, a 14:7 vote should be featured. I'm not familiar with the steps needed to feature a candidate. Are you able to fix this one and promote it? -- Colin (talk) 14:29, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

@Colin: Promoted. Should it be added in the recent images list, and on this month, or on the month it was nominated? Yann (talk) 15:09, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

I think it would make more sense to add it to the archive as though it was featured then. Unless you feel it deserves a chance at POTY next year? I don't mind. Thanks for the fixes. -- Colin (talk) 15:29, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Who knows? Yann (talk) 15:52, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Commons:Featured picture candidates/Image:Indonesia bike27.JPG

I wonder if you can help with this one too. It got 4 support and 3 oppose, which should have failed even back then. Instead, it got promoted and featured on the main page. The user who promoted it hasn't edited here for years. Can you un-feature it? -- Colin (talk) 14:41, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Wow, you are digging prehistoric stuff! I fixed this one. Yann (talk) 15:06, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Commons:Featured picture candidates/Image:4-Stroke-Engine.gif

How do you feel about this one? According to the rules at the time -- "Ratio of supporting/opposing votes at least 2/1 (a two-thirds majority, that means at least 67% supporting)" -- it should have been promoted. It had 8 support and 4 oppose (one of the support templates (Tak) was deleted so is hard to see). But it wasn't promoted. It is a tiny animated gif and I think we'd have delisted it if it had been featured. Should this one be left not promoted? -- Colin (talk) 16:24, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Yes, exactly. If we want to be rigorists, we can promote it, and then nominate it for deletion, but I don't see the point. Yann (talk) 16:29, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

OTRS et le Musée de la Parole en Ardenne

Bonjour Yann,

L'utilisateur Lucyin (également auteur), avec qui je contribue sur Wikisource en wallon, a récemment contacté le Musée de la Parole en Ardenne pour leur demander de libérer quelques œuvres pour lesquelles il détient le droit d'auteur. Le président actuel, Joël Thiry (également auteur) a accepté d'en libérer quelques-unes et il est prêt a envoyer une autorisation en suivant la procédure appropriée. On m'a chargé de mettre en place le nécessaire pour que tout se déroule sans encombre. J'aurais cependant besoin d'un peu d'aide pour faire les choses correctement côté Commons. Pourrais-tu m'éclairer sur le point suivant : étant donné que l'autorisation contiendra les liens des fac-similés stockés sur Commons, y a-t-il un modèle particulier à apposer sur les pages des fac-similés en attendant que le tiket OTRS (ou plutôt VRT maintenant) soit validé ?

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Screenshot of permission given by Vanillasky.png

Why did you delete this file? Do you reject my argument that it is in scope? Does this screenshot itself have copyright issues? Brianjd (talk) 13:04, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Permission should be sent via COM:VRT. Screenshots are not acceptable for permission. Regards, Yann (talk) 13:06, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

The screenshot was intended as permission for File:Anupam Tripathi.png. But it is not acceptable for this purpose, because it is a screenshot. I understand that.

But the same message in the form of a COM:VRT e-mail would still be unacceptable, because it only gives permission for Wikimedia projects and not for all uses. This led me to suggest that the screenshot is useful for a different purpose, demonstrating misunderstandings of copyright and Commons licensing. So we could delete File:Anupam Tripathi.png but keep File:Screenshot of permission given by Vanillasky.png. And no one has responded to this suggestion. Brianjd (talk) 13:14, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
