Film posters from India

The same discussion is going on on User:Túrelio's talk page. Kindly don't delete any more files. अंजना सेठ (talk) 09:41, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

@अंजना सेठ: नमस्ते, Yes, I saw that discussion. As mentioned there, copyright is automatic when a work is published (which is obviously the case of a poster). Files can be undeleted when the permission is received and validated by a volunteer. Please see COM:VRT for the procedure. Thanks, Yann (talk) 09:46, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

There are many other posters without such "permission" uploaded years ago and still undeleted. As I mentioned on Túrelio's talk page, producer died years ago, from where shall I bring the "permission"?

@अंजना सेठ: If the author is dead, the copyright rests with heirs for 60 years (in India) after the author's death. I know it is a difficult situation, but that's law. And yes, there may be other posters (or other files) not yet deleted. If you know any, please tag them, or write the filenames here. Also you don't need to ping me on my own talk page. Thanks, Yann (talk) 10:02, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

The heirs of producer are in other profession and production house was shut 20 years ago.

@अंजना सेठ: It doesn't matter. Yann (talk) 10:20, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Tell me another thing- You told that copyright rests for 60 years. So if I upload the poster of a film released 70 years ago, will it be deleted?अंजना सेठ (talk) 10:17, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

@अंजना सेठ: If the poster is signed, the copyright lasts for 60 years after the author's death. If the poster is anonymous, it is 60 years after publication. Regards, Yann (talk) 10:20, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

So according to you, there is no way to upload those 2 posters? अंजना सेठ (talk) 10:22, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

@अंजना सेठ: Only with the permission of the copyright holder. Yann (talk) 10:25, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

I thank you sir for your cooperation.अंजना सेठ (talk) 10:29, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Blocked Warning

Hello Yann, I've recently started using this space and I'm still learning how to use it and be compliant. I can assure you every image I've uploaded I have exclusive rights and permission to use. I know the photographers personally, I also know the Musician I'm writing about well and have proof of this. If there was help for me to show that I am compliant properly i'd appreciate it greatly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CatDog2020 (talk • contribs) 16:02, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

@CatDog2020: For any document of which you are not the sole copyright holder, a formal written permission is needed. Please ask the photographer to send a permission via email following instructions on COM:VRT. Regards, Yann (talk) 16:24, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Blocked warning

You sent me a message of possible blocking because of my last upload. File:BettyVakalidou.jpg The file has OTRS licencing and all rights had given to wikipedia. You are wrong. The site that you mention "Cosmopoliti. com" has not the exact same picture and if so, was after my uploading, copying from here.

The other photos had been upload 5 or 6 years ago, and by my mistake, because i didn;t known the policy good enough.

But the Vakalidou.jpg has been upload through photographer's permission. Pleace, check it, again. I had use Wikimedia VRT release generator. ΔώραΣτρουμπούκη (talk) 02:08, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

@ΔώραΣτρουμπούκη: The picture is here: https://cosmopoliti.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/BettyV20_08.jpg

And there is currently no permission in the file description. Do you have a ticket number? Thanks, Yann (talk) 07:09, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

I upload the photo 25 April 2020, almost two years now. of course i had ticket number, but i dont have until now. The permission for this particular photo has given by photographer John Mitropoulos. (Γιάννης Μητρόπουλος)

This is the conversation i had with Betty Vakalidou, in greek unfortunately.

ο φωτογραφος Γιαννης Μητροπουλος (Jochn Mitropoulos) ο οποιος μου εκανε πριν λιγο καιρο καποια πορτρετα, δεχεται να μου παραχωρησει τα δικαιωματα για 1 φωτογραφια. Πειτε μου σας παρακαλω τι χρειαζεστε να κανουμε.

Anyway, perhaps i didn't follow the instructions by mistake bue not on purpose. I am 10 years user of Greek wikipedia i am not a vandal. ΔώραΣτρουμπούκη (talk) 18:42, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

The edit war on the File talk:2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.svg and user blockings

Hi. I saw the edit war on the talk page and the 1 week of block you made to the @Gaeilge181, @Argut and @Eoiuaa. These 3 users are very active on the map. Not only did they edit the controversial situations of the front line and settlements, but also they provided many helpful changes, like those names of settlements, geographic locations and other icon fixes. So I think the duration of 1 week might be too long for them, which would potentially damage the enthusiasm and motivation of them. I think these users did not breach the three-revert rule policy and they did follow the rules of en:WP:DR and discussed the issue on the talk page.

But there is another user @Iconicos consistently uses aggressive words on the talk page, suggesting the above users were "web brigades", "trolls" and "cyberwarriors", which I think could be detrimental to the discussion on the topic. I am not sure whether the wording of @Iconicos might be more of a hindrance than a help, but this behaviour is against No personal attacks and would also be blocked as per Wikipedia:Blocking policy#Protection. Besides @Iconicos is one of only two users did the three-revert within 24 hours. The other one is the creator of the map @Viewsridge. Wo.luren (talk) 09:31, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

        • Une galerie assure l'indication automatique d'un VI (VI icône est mis là par le BOT), une catégorie n'a pas cet avantage. Création d'une galerie—comme sont tous les autres préparatifs pour une candidature—sont la responsabilité du nominateur. OK now? พ.s. 09:05, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

•  Comment An inital message to W.S., which matches the rudeness in his opposing vote and provocing translation to French. Your oppose reason is invalid and RTFM! That said : Making a gallery makes life easier for User:VICbot in case of promotion as when there is not a gallery of a name matching the scope it ends up in Commons:Valued image candidates/tag galleries, which needs human attention and that page is terribly backlogged. If criteria should be adjusted (and maybe they should), please bring it to the talk page for discussion and do not target a specific nomination to make a point. --Slaunger (talk) 10:52, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
  • You should get your facts straight before lambasting! I first added the english name to the nom, italicizing the scientific name, not opposing and requesting a gallery [2]. In my book that is being constructive. This was rudely reverted. Then the only way to get through to Yann was opposing. That's my prerogative. I even took the trouble to translate my reasons in french, which apparently is not appreciated neither :-((. พ.s. 11:22, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
    • Sorry, I was not aware of that page history and the revert. Thanks for pointing that out. But regarding the translation to French, you and I both know Yann is good at understanding English and that it was unneeded. --Slaunger (talk) 11:38, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
  • This is at least a good reason for the gallery to exist before the promotion. So I created one. And this should be mentioned in the criterias. Yann (talk) 11:31, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

New information about Bach Cantatas Website

Dear Yann, following the discussion about audio recordings of Cantata No. 56 by J S Bach, I sent an email to Aryeh Oron, the webmaster of bach-cantatas.com (BCW), asking information on the five mp3 audio files featuring the Orchestra of St Celilia, Dublin (OSC). He has very kindly replied to my request for info. The response was very rapid. He has written that the mp3 files of the OSC Bach recordings were presented to BCW by permission of Lindsay Armstrong, the retired artistic director. He has said that I would have to get his permission to present the mp3 files on this website, so either en.wikipedia.org (restricted) or commons.wikimedia.org. Aryeh has privately given me the new gmail address for Lindsay Armstrong. Although there are no copyright issues, the five audio files would have to be deleted while I found out from Lindsay Armstrong what he thinks. It might be possible to do something using a form of ORTS certificate; Graham87 would be the normal person to ask, given his experience with audio files and as an administrator on en.wiki. Does that seem reasonable? Regards, Mathsci (talk) 06:18, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

@Mathsci: Hi,

For a music recording, there are 3 copyrights involved: the composer, the performer, and the recorder. For each of them, we must either have a proof that the copyright expired or have a formal written permission for a free license. Regards, Yann (talk) 09:08, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

@Yann: bonjour.

As Aryeh Oron has mentioned, all of the licenses, where required, were made by Lindsay Armstrong;see also. I have yet to write to him in Ireland. The recording was part of a Bach Cantata Project at St Ann's Church, Dublin. It has now been officially archived at Dublin City Library and Archive in en:Dublin.

1. The composer was en:Johann Sebastian Bach, the work was cantata en:Ich will den Kreuzstab gerne tragen, BWV 56 and was composed in 1726. It is in now in the Public Domain, so not subject to copyright.
2. The performer is Lindsay Armstrong's the OSC, the Orchestra of St Cecilia, Dublin, founded in 1995 and disestablished in 2014. After his retirement as founder and artistic director, Lindsay Armstrong bequeathed his documents and recordings to Dublin City Public Library & Archives, where they are now stored. Lindsay Armstrong still has the rights to the mp3 recording, so written permission would come through him and gmail correspondence. Although Holy Week started last Sunday, I will ask him about the recording when and if he has time.
3. The video recordist was Fred Harle for the final cantata performance on this vimeo recording, now administered by Dublin City Public Library and Archive. The sound and video recordings were organised by Lindsay Armstrong; there is a vimeo recording of a pre-performance lecture of en:Christoph Wolff, introduced by Lindsay Armstrong. All information about the technical recording of the cantata originates in Lindsay Armstrong, as the recordings were organised at St Ann's Church, Dawson Street, Dublin. Please see the listing here.

The OSC is listed in "The Encyclopaedia of Music in Ireland" (2013) edited by Harry White and Barra Boydell, en:University College Dublin Press. The recordings are not listed in discogs or allmusic; apart from information supplied by Lindsay Armstrong himself, all further documentation is listed by Dublin City Library and Archive in this pdf file, with no documents after 2001. I hope this is helpful. Mathsci (talk) 15:50, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

DR on File:RedStarNewspaper56.jpg

Hi, may you explain why you has deleted this image: [5]? You do that despite the fact that after request of the user, the source of the photo was clarified and was generally indicated correctly. What I has made wrong in this situation? --Kursant504 (talk) 02:23, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

@Kursant504: {{Mil.ru}} only applies to images created by them. It is clearly not the case of this one. Since the photographer died in 1992, it is not in the public domain. Yann (talk) 09:06, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

May you explain how it works? The photographer was a war correspondent of the "Krasnaya Zvezda" newspaper and serves in the Soviet army. Taking these photos was his job, his duties in military service. And the results of his work belong to the Soviet army (as a newspaper owner) and now to its legal successor - the Ministry of Defense of Russia (as the current owner of the newspaper). 1) Why Mil.ru can't use them as they want? 2) Which man can make a fotos for mil.ru for they can use them? On your logic - if "mil.ru" will indicate the author - they can't use it... I understand it correct? Very strange... Kursant504 (talk) 12:46, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

There is no reason why the photograph's copyright, active on Soviet times, would have been transfered to the actual Ministry of Defense of Russia. It may be used under some fair use-like rationale, but Commons doesn't accept fair use. Yann (talk) 17:44, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

That is, you believe that all works that were created or published by the Soviet army before the collapse of the Soviet Union and whose author is unknown (for example, absolutely all manuals published before 1991 and illustrations from them, if the author is not specified) now do not have a copyright holder (since you do not recognize the Russian Ministry of Defense as such) and it is in the public domain now? Right? Kursant504 (talk) 05:32, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

No. Except state symbols and signs, no work under the public domain before 70 years after publication if the author is unknown, or 70 years after the author's death if it is known. Please see Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Russia for the details. Thanks, Yann (talk) 13:56, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

photo deleted

I added a picture into an article that I created and edited, but it was deleted by you. It was actually a picture from a public page (http://climatechange.boun.edu.tr/prof-levent-kurnaz/)

Could it be possible how I could reload and provide permission for this? Should I write to an email address from this page or try to contact Kurnaz?

Image for restoration

I understand that you restore pictures and are generally interested in India and South Asia-related pictures, if you think it is worthwhile, I think this 1980 image from Bhutan could use some restoration. I apologise if I'm making assumptions that I shouldn't or if I shouldn't be writing here or if this image shouldn't (or cannot) be restored. I just thought you might be interested. --UnpetitproleX (talk) 20:13, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

• File:Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain (24385892345).jpg

Of Christoph Merian there are several other images of his bust in black and white and I thought I add 2 in color. Also after searching for the artist, I didn't find the artist of the bust, therefore I guess they don't have valid license.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 17:01, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Need Help

Hello Yann,

I just recently heard that one of my images was removed due to an alleged copyright violation and some of my other ones might be removed as well.

Can you please provide me with some instructions on how to properly get the copyright licensing on Wikimedia Commons for images so I don't try to make any further violations?

I'm trying to use each portrait of the Governors of the United States on a Wikipedia page to make the page as neat as I possibly can and I still don't know how to get the appropriate licensing for each image. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Squazyzilla (talk • contribs) 15:51, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, Squazyzilla

@Squazyzilla: Images by US states are not automatically in the public domain. It depends on the states. In addition, the images you uploaded lack a license. You are responsible for providing one, otherwise they will be deleted. For more information, you can ask on village pump about copyright. Thanks, Yann (talk) 08:32, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

You delete images without proper verification

You recently deleted the infographic «NATO scales up its eastern defences.png» uploaded from the Imhograph channel without checking the license. The distribution license is indicated in the description of the Imhograph, and some other images downloaded from it have a "license confirmed" bar. Please do your job more carefully. Because of your mistake, I will have to re-configure everything. If this happens again, I will submit for discussion a request to deprive you of the right to administer. --RASPBERRY VIBE (talk) 21:27, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Yesterday, you closed Commons:Deletion requests/File:Nikoo-build.jpg as kept, saying "very simple building", I wonder how could those things within File:Nikoo-build.jpg can be very simple? Are they really all De minimis?

1. A yellow and a pink background artwork flag, covering its 4F windows;

Copyright status: File:Hellenistic Kingdom 301 BC.png

Hi Yan, you deleted the image Hellenistic Kingdom 301 BC.png on the Commons due to its disputed license, which has been verified and found to be OK for the Commons. So I'm asking to get him back to work. A verified license is available at [7] Sincerely --Zemanst (talk) 08:04, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

@Zemanst: This license is Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-ShareAlike, which is not sufficient for Commons. We need a license which allows comercial use. Thanks, Yann (talk) 08:32, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Yan, the image will only be used for Wikipedia in the article [8], so the license for this case (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) is absolutely fine, I'm sorry.

Sincerely Zemanst (talk) 12:38, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

@Zemanst: No, it doesn't work that way. All images on Commons must under a free license, i.e. which allows commercial use. Yann (talk) 14:37, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Category:1995 stamps of Argentina

Hi Yan, you deleted this category. Please return it back. And return file File:Argentina 1995 variable value stamp Mi 1.jpg to it. This is Adamant1's hooliganism. --Matsievsky (talk) 16:52, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

The reason I deleted the category is because it only contained one file that is extremely likely to be deleted. Even if it isn't though, there's almost zero chance of the category ever having any more files in it and having a category with a single file is rather worthless. Your free to disagree but you should be able to do so without insulting me in the process. If Matsievsky is unwilling to give a valid reason why the category should be recreated outside of insulting me then I'd appreciate if it stays deleted. Thanks. --Adamant1 (talk) 16:57, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Whatever happens to this file, categories should not be deleted before the file(s) it contains. Yann (talk) 05:39, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

The file being deleted or not aside, I was under the impression that the general consensus is categories should contain multiple files or at least have the potential to or they can be deleted. Is that wrong? I assume it isn't since categories like Category:1995 stamps of Argentina have plural names, which insinuates they don't contain single images. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:01, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Well, you are wrong. A category can contain a single, if there are potentially more. Yann (talk) 16:22, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

No I'm not. It's almost like you can't be bothered to read my messages or something. What part of "there's almost zero chance of the category ever having any more files in it" makes you think I don't get that a category with one file is fine if there are potentially more files to put in it later? In this case, stamps of Argentina from 1995 aren't in the public domain. So there's almost zero chance of the category containing anything else. Unless Matsievsky decides to upload more of them based on the same nonsensical reasoning that stamps create themselves. It's not like the category can't be recreated on the off chance that he does though, but there's zero reason to the category in the meantime just because you don't feel like doing the minimum amount of effort it would take to find out there's realistically no chance of the category containing anything else. --Adamant1 (talk) 19:31, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Category:Stamps of Ireland

You deleted this category but there are over 100 links to this category. On this page Commons:Stamps/Public domain templates I see all category links are similarly named. If you are going to delete any or all, please make sure all links are corrected to the new category name. Thanks. Ww2censor (talk) 23:38, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Restored. Yann (talk) 05:40, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Whatever the case is with Commons:Stamps/Public domain templates, I moved the files in the category to Category:Postage stamps of Ireland. So what's the alternative to deleting the category? Because just leaving an empty duplicate of another category doesn't seem like a good alternative. Just because there's a template for something shouldn't stop people from being able to move files. Wouldn't the correct thing to do be nominating the template for deletion if it's not being used anymore instead of just keeping random, useless categories? BTW, I don't think the links should just be fixed either because frankly the copyright templates are garbage, don't help anything, and I rather not see them transferred over to the new categories just because Ww2censor is unwilling to nominate them for deletion or whatever. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:54, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Adamant1: I'm not the one making any category changes. It seems that the category "Stamps of foo"" is the original setup but now some people are also using the category "Postage stamps of foo". We should either use one or the other. Would it not be better to come to a consensus in a wider forum before making changes to these categories, as someone will have to fix all the entries into whichever category is decided upon. Ww2censor (talk) 09:36, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

You are making changes to the categories if your getting in the way of me renaming the country categories by having my edits reverted. Outside of that, I'm not against the general idea of getting consensus about it but like you state there's already a bunch of categories besides the ones related to countries that are called "Postage stamps.." and the naming seems to follow Wikidata/wikipedia. So it seems like the conensus is already there for the categories to be named "postage stamps of foo.." In the meantime there's other serious problems with the current naming scheme that warrants it being changed. For instance, a lot of categories for things that aren't postage stamps being put in Category:Stamps because there isn't any other option since it's being used for postage stamps. It would be ridiculous to ignore all that and go through a protracted discussion that will probably result in the categories being renamed anyway just because of a template. I much rather just change the names, turn Category:Stamps into a disambiguation or whatever, and be done with it. Or I guess the other option is that we have clearly nonsensical crap like Category:Rubber stamps being in a category that clearly isn't for rubber stamps just because of a template that isn't helpful (if not downright useless) to begin with. --Adamant1 (talk) 10:47, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

A redirect can be created, but any massive change should be discussed first. Yann (talk) 16:23, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

It's not really that massive of a change since there's already a lot of other categories called "Postage stamps..." Otherwise, I would have discussed it first. In the meantime the only reason not to rename the country categories is because of the template and I have yet to see a valid reason why that alone warrants a broader discussion about something that's already being done, not just by me. Honestly, this whole thing just comes off like bad faithed concern trolling. If there was really an issue with the whole thing then the time to discuss it would have been before half the categories or more had "postage stamps..." in their names. It's massively pointless and just comes off like bad faithed targeting to single me out and have the discussion now though after the fact. Especially since neither one of you have given a single legitimate reason why there should be one. --Adamant1 (talk) 19:18, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

File:Aljs Vignudelli Günter Rexrodt (cropped).jpg

This is a crop from File:Aljs Vignudelli Günter Rexrodt.jpg which you deleted per my DR at Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by OX. In the DR, I suggested to delete that crop as well if the source file is deleted. I think you could delete it now, too, for the reasons given, without an extra DR? As the nominator, I'm not deleting it myself, of course. Gestumblindi (talk) 16:06, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

File:The Soviet Union 1970 lapkin 70-30 cover with stamp CPA 3864 (All Union Philatelic Exhibition).png

I gave a reason why the file should be deleted. I would appreciate it if you allowed other people besides Matsievsky an opportunity to give their opinions next time. Since Matsievsky was the person who uploaded the file and he has a history of trying to steam role deletion nominations of his files by using bulling tactics and outright lying. Thanks. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:22, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Are you trolling? Yann (talk) 09:27, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

No. What part of my comment makes you think I am? --Adamant1 (talk) 09:32, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Then read again the discussion and the pages linked to it. Thanks, Yann (talk) 09:35, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

I nominated the file for deletion because it was a blurry duplicate of another image. Matsievsky, the only person who participated in the discussion, said the image should be kept because it wasn't a blurrier version of the other file. You closed it because supposedly "no valid reason for deletion." Matsievsky uploaded the file and has a history of using bulling tactics/outright lying to steamroll deletion discussions. So I think people, who aren't the uploader and don't have a history of using such tactics, should have had a chance to give their opinions before the deletion request is closed as keep. What's trolling about that? It seems like a pretty reasonable request to me. As a side to that your assertion that there was "no valid reason for deletion" is simply wrong. The guidelines clearly say redundant, lower quality duplicate images can be deleted on a case-by-case basis. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:46, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Clearly, you haven't read or understood the discussion. This image is the source for the other one. It seems to be blurry, because it is a PNG file, and the other one is a JPEG. Yann (talk) 09:49, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

I don't see how you can say that when Matsievsky literally said "This file is not blurred" and he was the only participate, but whatever. I'm not sure what your last sentence is about. "It looks blurry because it's a PNG file" is just nonsensical. PNG isn't an inherently blurry file format or no one would be using it. If you load both files next to each other the PNG file clearly has a smoothing filter or something applied to it that makes it look slightly blurrier then the JPEG image. If you want an example look at the dot above the postmark in both files. It's brown in the JPEG file and red in the PNG. So there's clearly a difference between the two images. It has nothing to do with the quarks of how Commons deals with thumbnails or whatever and I said as much in the deletion nomination. In the meantime trying to act like they are exact 1/1 copies of each other or that the PNG file isn't a lower quality, blurrier image just comes off like gaslighting. --Adamant1 (talk) 10:05, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

About File:December 1983 One on One Dr J vs Larry Bird advertisement by Electronic Arts.jpg and File:November 1983 Pitstop advertisement by Epyx.jpg

May I ask the reason why those files were deleted? I proved a rationale about them being public domain here that I will copy here for convenience's sake.

/Start of the copied post/

Copyright assignment wasn't automatic in the United States until March 1, 1989, and a copyright notice was required for all works published until February 28, 1989.

Copyright notice was required for all works first published before March 1, 1989, subject to some exceptions discussed below. If the notice was omitted or a mistake was made in using copyright notice, the work generally lost copyright protection in the United States.

— https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ03.pdf

For works published between January 1, 1978 and March 1, 1989, there was a five year grace period to register the work in the U.S. Copyright Office. That didn't happen for any of those ads. Future copies didn't include any copyright notice either. Advertisements required a standalone copyright notice.

A general notice for a collective work as a whole covers the separate contributions that it contains (regardless of ownership), except for any advertisements inserted on behalf of persons other than the copyright owner for the collective work.

— https://www.copyright.gov/comp3/chap2200/ch2200-notice.pdf

The work needed to have a valid copyright notice or, otherwise, to be registred it with the U.S. copyright office within five years. None of those ads were registred with the copyright office and none of their subsequent copies added a copyright notice.

Thanks in advance.

Uploading Image

Dear Yann,

I'm trying to have this image https://www.flickr.com/photos/195743037@N02/52111777930/ uploaded to Jamie Mcleod-Skinner. It recently was removed for copyright violation, but it is placed on the public Media Center page for a campaign that offers it up for public use (just without an explicit copyright release). What should I do to try and upload this image? Thank you.

The bot accidentally added delete template

Hello dear Yann. The bot accidentally added a deletion template to the files I uploaded yesterday, and today I saw that you deleted those files. The point is that I took the pictures from the Louvre website, and like the millions of photos on the site, the images I uploaded are copyrighte free. I also added detailed information about the copyright and origin of the works from the site. Would you please recover deleted photos? If I have made a mistake, please explain that I will not make similar mistakes in the future. Thank you in advance. Thank you in advance. Sincerely, --Sefer azeri (talk) 12:55, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

@Sefer azeri: No, the pictures taken by the Louvre museum are not free. Beside you didn't provide a license, which is compulsory for all images on Commons. Thanks, Yann (talk) 15:07, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello again, dear Yann. I read again the terms of use of the Louvre Museum. "Photographs representing works that are not protected by copyright" heading 4.1.1 states that "The downloading and re-use of medium-format photographs published on the collections website representing works that are not protected by copyright". You are absolutely right that I forgot to put the necessary license template on the pictures. Therefore, please restore the images so that I can put the information in the correct form. Thank you in advance. Sincerely,--Sefer azeri (talk) 07:22, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Dell Chromebook 3100 2-in-1.jpg

Hi Yann. What do you think needs to be done with respect to Commons:Deletion requests/File:Dell Chromebook 3100 2-in-1.jpg since the only reason the file seems to have been kept now is no longer applicable because of Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:PD Texas and Commons:Deletion requests/Template:PD-TXGov? -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:33, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: The logo may be de minimis. In any way, it can easily be blurred if needed. Thanks, Yann (talk) 14:43, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

If your talking about the logo for the Frisco Independent School District it's likely PD since the logos for most government agencies in the United States are. That said, I'd still find out what the specific rules for Texas are before assuming it is though. but in most cases it probably isn't an issue. If you want some examples have a browse through Category:Logos of school districts in the United States. --Adamant1 (talk) 20:39, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

@Adamant1: I don't think it's likely PD since the logos for most government agencies in the United States are is a correct understanding at all of en:WP:PD#US government works at all. Works created by US federal government employees as part of their official duties are, for the most part, within the public domain; things are quite different, however, for works created by employees at the subnational level (e.g. state, county,municipal employees) and it largely depends upon the copyright laws of the individual state. Some states like California and Florida have laws or statutes that are similar to US copyright law on the matter, but the vast majority do not. Some of the logos in Category:Logos of school districts in the United States which are not for schools located in California and Florida probably need to be examined; for example, File:Ambassador Public School in Deh No 22 Jamrao, District Sanghar Sindh, Pakistan.jpg isn't even for a US school and it's licensing then depends on COM:PAKISTAN, whereas File:Canton City School District Logo.jpg is almost certainly not "own work". Another example is File:Central-unified-high-school-district-logo-2015.png is probably OK as {{PD-CAGov}}, but is unlikely "own work"; it's also a COM:OVERWRITEten file. I would be careful assuming that a file is OK for Commons just because someone uploaded it to Commons. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:00, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

I'm aware. Which is why I said "most." I don't have an exact count, but I know the number of municipalities/states that have PD logos is more then just California and Florida. Like there's 9 versions of the Montana state flag on Commons and most flags for the towns/cities/counties in Montana are also on Commons. More relevant do a search for "Texas logo", there's thousands of results and a good percentage are for schools in Texas. It's not like I've advocated for keeping the image as is just because of other files though, but at the same time Texas seems to be pretty lax when it comes to logos of educational institutions. Either that or thousands of files should be deleted. I don't care either way. Which is why I said to research it and not just assume things, but if it were me I probably wouldn't worry about it unless there's obvious evidence that Texas has strict laws about it and I'm usually pretty hardline when it comes to not violating copyright. --Adamant1 (talk) 22:18, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

A subnational government logo or flag might be PD because it's too old or too simple, but not because it was created by a government employee. The Montana state flag imagery (File:Flag of Montana (1905–1981).svg) seems to be PD because of its age, not because it was created by a state employee. In addition, the copyright status of Montana government works, in general, is unclear per copyright.lib.harvard.edu/states/. Once again, being on Commons doesn't mean something should be on Commons. Files are constantly being deleted from Commons for one reason or another, but many files with questionable licensing may go unnoticed for years before someone finally finds them. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:54, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Indeed. I tagged some of these logos which should not be here without a permission from the copyright holder. Thanks for noticing, Yann (talk) 16:23, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
