Thank you for the ping[edit]

Thanks for the ping you left here. I only just got the ping, but when I get time I'll try and respond to what has been said. Briefly, for now, I came across these images after many of them had been done, and both queried them and then requested more of the same. My understanding that this was OK was I think in part based on how some newspapers (famously) publish drawings of people rather than using photos, and that if you use minimal elements from different photos, you would create something sufficiently different to not be a derivative of the originals. @Clindberg: in case he can remember the newspaper I am thinking of, though I suspect they probably use artists that work from a range of photos and creatively produce a new pose that isn't derivative. Carcharoth (talk) 06:27, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Carcharoth: Re-reading the original Wikipedia talk thread, perhaps a misunderstanding arose from Stephencdickson using the word "composite" to mean "original artwork cutout + background + pastel", and missing your point about not being able to use single images. There's a deletion discussion at Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Stephencdickson now, and nearly all of the uploads appear to have been closely derived from single original sources, with no greater changes than occasionally altering academic robes into shirts and ties. (It may be that these are very subtle composites using eyes or mouths from other images, but we've yet to see any clear explanation from Stephencdickson of how the drawings were made, just that it is a laborious process. I did ask on the user's talk page if any were drawn from multiple sources, but received no response.) It looks like we're almost ready to remove the images which appear to be copyright infringements, anyway. --Lord Belbury (talk) 07:20, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah. I feel bad about this, as Stephencdickson contributed all those illustrations in good faith. I hope more people than just me will encourage him and not be too confrontational about this (the PD-based material is fine). I think the newspaper I was thinking of was the New York Times. There is a long tradition of artists drawing illustrations of famous people for the NYT. See here for an example. See also here for advice such as "you can [...] combine several photos for inspiration and reference for your own scene, not copy them directly." That last bit being important. Carcharoth (talk) 10:49, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Carcharoth: Yeah, I regret that the deletion process looks confrontational in retrospect, I didn't fully appreciate the public domain angle at the time, when Stephencdickson was mainly talking about having avoided copyright and everyone else was saying "yes, derivative work, inappropriate". And sure, Wikipedia's welcome page for donated artwork actively encourages portraits "based on multiple photos found using search engine results". --Lord Belbury (talk) 08:03, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Use of PD-old-assumed[edit]

For File:Alfred i Hedwig Pringsheim.png, you changed PD-old-70 to PD-old-assumed. This changed a specific license to a weaker one unnecessarily. As the artist died 114 years ago, as was stated on the image page before your change, there is absolutely no doubt about public domain status, no need for any assumptions.

Thanks -- (talk) 22:40, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Patrick Rogel: It's a crop of an existing cc-licenced commons image. Is saying as much not sufficient? This was all automated via CropBot. --Lord Belbury (talk) 16:06, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I've put the original file on deletion so the cropped version is as well. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 16:07, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Patrick Rogel: Oh, okay. The original image upload is from a user claiming it as their own work, though, looking at it. Isn't that proof that Commons has received their permission? --Lord Belbury (talk) 16:13, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Following your message the original file is still missing permission (that's why such a permission has been asked). --Patrick Rogel (talk) 10:34, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You shouldn't care of this matter since it's Kriskina's business to provide a permission within a week (starting August 15). Now please wait after an Administrator's decision regarding this file. Yours, --Patrick Rogel (talk) 10:40, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Licence fix[edit]

It could take you the same time if instead of editing with "{{Template:Wrong license}}" you had just pasted "{{PD-Old}}". I am sorry, but I don't think this is a useful way to cooperate to the project. I have been helped by hundreds of users who update information to the files I upload (mostly due to problems in the Upload wizard system I already tried to have fixed without success), but unfortunatly not all users are that good... --Sailko (talk) 22:11, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File deletion[edit]

Lord Belbury has deleted all my files without giving any explanation! He says that one of my files named Tapan Kumar Pradhan (1995) is similar to some other file. If he has any objection to this file, he should have asked me for clarification. But without informing me can you delete all my files? Subhrasingh (talk) 06:27, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Subhrasingh: I haven't deleted all of your files, and I have informed you of this, and given an explanation: I opened a discussion at Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Subhrasingh to determine the copyright status of the files, and your input would be appreciated there. --Lord Belbury (talk) 08:34, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@lordbelbury Dear Sir, you have flagged all my files for deletion. And editors after you are simply copy pasting your comments on my uploads. I don’t know how wikimedia works. But it is obvious that the comments made by first reviewer will be picked up by subsequent reviewers to get a negative opinion about the uploaded. That is how human psychology works. You had objection only to the file Tapan Kumar Pradhan (1995). But why did you copy paste the same comment on all my files. Even pictures taken by my own smartphone a few months ago has been flagged with 1995 picture comments. What kind of logic is this? By your thoughtless action you have simply damaged my reputation for future reviewers. I find it extremely depressing and demoralising. If you have any doubts regarding any upload, will you first seek feedback from the uploaded, or will you just red flag it for deletion? I don’t think I shall upload any more files until the deletion flag is removed from the existing files. But I see little chance of my files accepted by future reviewers, since you have simply damaged my reputation completely. Are you not misusing your Reviewer Privilege? Kindly think about it. Regards.

User:Lord Belbury is misusing (his) priviledges[edit]

I believe you're clearly misusing whatever priviledges you have by continuosly flagging images without a thorough investigation or understanding of the policies that relate to them. As I have observed from you flagging my uploads and those of many people, as evidence even the posts on your talk page. Take time and read people's posts and see my point. You may see this as a way of expressing an authority but this is totally not a healthy behavior for others, and I may have to report you to admin. For instance, you didn't properly understand the interpretation of a statement granting rights for images by a third party, and you jumped to conclusion and decided what you thought was the meaning. I could recommend most of your uploads for deletion if I want to pull the similar feat you are doing now, but I don't do vendettas in my life. I prefer dialogues that may seek for answers or solutions. --Hassanjalloh1 (talk) 12:37, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Hassanjalloh1: I have no particular privileges here at Commons. I am only raising flags for others to assess, and an image will only be removed after an admin has reviewed it. If I have misunderstood Commons copyright policies, the images will not be deleted. I think these cases are very clear cut, though: you have taken photos explicitly not released under a CC-Attribution licence and added that licence to them, apparently without the permission of the copyright holders. --Lord Belbury (talk) 13:01, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Seriously, your view about Commons policy is very narrow and this may get you into a lot of hurdles with other editors. According to you, if an image does not showw CC Attribute at source, there must be a direct confirmation from the author. Really?? Then it would be so ironical for you to ignore the thousands of images (including your uploads) that do not indicate a CC Attribute at source or confirmation from the author. I may have to review your own images and recommend for deletion anyone that is not in compliance with what you just stated, because I have found many of your uploads that are contrary to this. Society is so complex to look at things in black or white. There is always a grey area. Always. That's why policies are overwritten and developed. The key here you should focus on are images that indicate "copyright" (c) or a name credit. Facebook policy general indicates that when you choose the public upload option, you opt to release your rights to the image (except indicated otherwise). And in all the images that you flagged there is none that is copyrighted. So if an image is not copyrighted, then it is what...--Hassanjalloh1 (talk) 13:37, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Hassanjalloh1: Thanks, by all means review my uploads, if I've ever uploaded something as CC-Attribution when it wasn't then that should be corrected.
I don't know where you're getting the idea that uploading an image to Facebook releases the owner's rights to it. --Lord Belbury (talk) 13:41, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Clearly this is one of your main problems, that's why you're having issues with other users. You think every photo uploaded must come from a source that is CC-Attribution. And a majority of uploads on Commons didn't come from such sources. If you think your own uploads must come from a source that says CC-Attribution, then it's fine but it is not a requirment or must for Commons. Please understand this difference, if not you and many people will have issues here. --Hassanjalloh1 (talk) 16:39, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Hassanjalloh1: I'm not saying that everything has to be CC-Attribution (an old painting won't be, a simple geometric shape won't be, and images can also just be released as full-on public domain), but if you are going to write "This file is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license" on a file when you upload it, then that claim has to be true. You shouldn't use the CC-Attribution template when you really mean that you found it on Facebook, or that it was released under CC-Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs and you've decided it's okay to drop the NonCommercial-NoDerivs. There are no correct templates for those meanings, because they aren't valid rationales for uploading a picture to Commons. --Lord Belbury (talk) 16:45, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You say: "There are no correct templates for those meanings, because they aren't valid rationales for uploading a picture to Commons." You see, you just basically echoed my point. This shows that your "black and white" rules are not suitable for the community. I believe embracing the underlying spirit of why there are attempts to provide guidelines for uploads will be a good start. As I have gone through the literature on Commons, I believe Attribution is the key; second is to make sure there are no restrictions to uploading and sharing the photos and not an explicit indication of free to use. Your main problem is that you always tend to focus on an explicit indication of free to use. more than the core two. --Hassanjalloh1 (talk) 18:11, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Hassanjalloh1: And your "embrace the underlying spirit" attitude is a new one on me! Let's see how the deletion discussions go and how the admins decide to close them, I guess, it's not up to either of us. All the best. --Lord Belbury (talk) 18:18, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User:Lord Belbury I would to to inform you that I have reasonable grounds to believe that I might be a subject of harassment by you. I'm taking this initial step to inform you before I take this matter to admin, for someone else to look into this matter. Your approach to vetting my uploads, your dedication on it is really unprecedently. I believe you are not approaching my uploads in good faith. The extremes you go to defend your actions is clear evidence of cases in which someone may have more than just trying to enforce Commons policies. And this I believe deserves others concerns into it. This is an intital step, for you to know. --Hassanjalloh1 (talk) 12:08, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Hassanjalloh1: Sure, go ahead. The page you want would be Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems. --Lord Belbury (talk) 12:13, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. Please, I'd very much appreciate it if you could stay away from anything that relates to my account while I pursue this case, and let other editors look into it. You've done more than enough. You're not the ONLY editor here. It's rare the length you go to defend even my photos you "recommended for deletion." Never seen this before. Really weird. Hassanjalloh1 (talk) 12:51, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Hassanjalloh1: Sure. --Lord Belbury (talk) 12:57, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Hassanjalloh1: Please don't go back and fix individual typos in your old posts on my talk page, it means I get a ping every time. You shouldn't edit comments once they've been replied to anyway, particularly not when they change the tone of what you're saying.

You're required to notify me once you've reported me on the admin noticeboard. Apart from that, if you're asking me to stay away from your account, please stay away from mine also. Thanks! --Lord Belbury (talk) 14:19, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Lord Belbury: Really? Why would I change my tone? I double-typed "to" twice instead of typing "like" and you call this "changing the tone"? A reasonable person would know that was a simple typo and has nothing to do with the tone of my message. Well, you thought to reverse the edit, that's fine. --Hassanjalloh1 (talk) 14:35, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If you're asking me to stay away from your account, please stay away from mine also. Thanks again. --Lord Belbury (talk) 14:38, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Commons:Harassment notice (again, second time)[edit]

User:Lord Belbury I'm posting this for the second time for you to know. What you posted on my talk page just continues to prove my point of you really harassing me here. And I will have to report this matter (my own time and plan, not according to what you might think). You posted this on my talk page: "A week ago you asked me to 'stay away' from your uploads while you contacted administrators about our disagreements on licencing, and you said you'd let 'other editors' look into it. It looks like you've decided against doing that, so if I don't see any such process being started in the next couple of days I'll take another look at your uploads to check that they've all been licenced correctly." Who are you to put pressure on me to decide when and how to file a complaint?! It's none of your business when or whether I file a complaint or not. You baselessly recommended a bunch of my photos for deletion, and that still doesn't satisfy you, you are still looking for more ways to hurt me. This just shows that you are definitely targeting me. And you saying, YOU WILL BE LOOKING INTO MY UPLOADS again is a clear sign of harassment, despite asking you to stay out of my account, and allow other editors to do whatever is necessary about my account (my uploads and our conversations are on the deletion queue where many other editors can view them and definitely trace our issue; that alone could be enough to show what is happening between us). You pressing me like this is TOTAL HARASSMENT! You've proven to me that you are not approaching my account in good faith. Please stay away from me until our issue is resolved one way or the way. If you continue to harass me, you will just be building my case for me. And I will use it all against you in my complaint to admin. I WILL FILE A COMPLAINT. FOR SURE! But not base on what you want me to do, as that will not happen. I will never succumb to your threats and harassment.--Hassanjalloh1 (talk) 15:20, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lord Belbury is misusing Wikipedia[edit]

I believe Lord Belbury is misusing the right to flag images as copyright violations - continuous flagging without proper investigation of the ownership or copyright details of the document is occurring.

Please do a proper investigation and be sure of what you are doing before you take action on somebody else’s work they’ve spent their time working on 2A00:23A8:41D8:A000:6807:D546:4368:EAFE 13:37, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you're writing on a talk page that only I am reading.
If you own the album art that's fine, once you provide evidence of that the image will either be kept, or restored if it was deleted. Commons generally errs on the side of caution with potentially copyrighted works like album covers, because fans often upload them without permission. --Lord Belbury (talk) 13:43, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You are 100% right. He's incapable of doing proper research and seems like he ends up wrong flagging content more often than not. He's an absolute waste of time and Wikipedia should ban people like him who waste our time. It's very irritating that we have to wait for days and weeks to undo his stupidity. 2401:4900:1C0E:14A8:C038:B870:5793:BE17 23:46, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright story of my photos. I think we should talk from here, about my self-composed pictures Linhly080811 (talk) 02:41, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Linhly080811: Historical images and photos you've taken yourself are fine - although File:Tranh vẽ về chiến tranh (thời kì Ukiyo-e).jpg was a watermarked version of the existing File:Battle of Weihaiwei (land).jpg file on Commons, so I've marked it as a duplicate. It would help to know where you took the image for File:Ukiyo-e War.jpg from, so that we can identify the artist and maybe the title of the work.

What rubbish, why did you have to delete the picture in the first place and now it shows a backlog of 36 days to approve my request. This is utterly ridiculous. Had you done the property research you'd have found on her Instagram itself that the picture you deleted belongs to me. And no I'm not gonna be thankful for what you did to my picture which was genuinely clicked by me. You delete a picture that I rightfully own and then expect me to be thankful about it? Kilaruness (talk) 22:58, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is utterly disappointing and disgusting to see how someone like you who is not capable of doing proper research has been given the rights to alter Wikipedia.

@Kilaruness: I'm flagging images here to protect the copyright of professional photographers like yourself, many of which turn out to be fans taking photos from social media and failing to credit the photographer, resulting in that work being reused at face value for free by the press. I didn't notice a watermark on the user image that has been deleted, and professional photographers usually upload their work under their full name (so that when the press reprint the image, they get clear credit). I do apologise for getting it wrong on that one.
Afraid I don't have any connection to the approval process, I'm just a user who flags images for others to discuss or assess. (The single deleted image was deleted by an admin who saw my flag and agreed with it, it was not deleted by me alone.) Lord Belbury (talk) 23:07, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well the admin deleted it after he/she saw your wrong flag. Your research is so dumb and stupid that the Twitter image you mentioned was a cropped one and the one I uploaded here is a full picture. Wonder how can someone convert a cropped picture into a full picture. This is common sense. Funny how common sense is short in stock on Wiki Commons. None of the pictures I've uploaded have my Watermark because I didn't want my name to be visible on HER Wiki page. Her page is not to endorse my photography. And one tip in life, never do something that you cannot undo. Your apology means nothing. Your incomplete and improper research has wasted a lot of my time. No thanks.

@Ragnarok861: I'm afraid not, no, because by uploading them to Commons you're making them public. Anyone searching Commons (or, in the future, Google Images) for "benedict cumberbatch portrait" will be served this photo and falsely informed that it was taken by Ragnarok861 who is happy for it to be used commercially at no cost: they might add it to Cumberbatch's Wikipedia page as a great infobox photo, or print it in a book. In reality it's a photo by Larry Busacca who would expect to be credited and paid if someone wanted to use his work, and who has not allowed its use on Wikipedia. --Lord Belbury (talk) 10:09, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So I went to archive.org to archive it, and found the exact photo of the singer Diego Varagić (from what I believed, I right clicked the file that was blank, and opened the browser that mentioned it, just as how it had a good resolution and stuff) And note that mistakenly said you about you gonna speedy delete that Diego varagic 1960 image, I was wanna saying that you can delete that same image (that is in fact it's written in Numbers, while the letter A is in it) that I upload it, which I believe it matches the same image, so that's all! Hope you understand GingerAnimationz (talk) 21:28, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@GingerAnimationz: Sorry, I still can't understand what you're saying. I didn't mark the file for speedy deletion, I marked it for lacking evidence of permission. It still lacks that evidence, and someone else has marked it the same way again. Please provide evidence that barikada.com released this photo under a CC-Attribution licence. Thanks. --Lord Belbury (talk) 07:12, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
no, I just marked it as my own work, so I did changed it, not to be bullied by some people who should see the evidence right now! GingerAnimationz (talk) 08:44, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@GingerAnimationz: Unless you personally took this photo 60 years ago, you must show that the photographer released it under a CC-Attribution licence. --Lord Belbury (talk) 08:46, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@GingerAnimationz: Okay. That website does not claim that the photo is CC-Attribution, so unless you are claiming to be the photographer or have some other proof that the photographer released it as CC-Attribution or similar, the image will be deleted from Commons. --Lord Belbury (talk) 09:44, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please Delete Dutton, wrong photo uploaded[edit]

4/22/22 – thanks for catching. Wrong photo of Thomas A Dutton Uploaded from university website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Readbooksplease (talk • contribs) 12:40, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Readbooksplease: No problem, I imagine it'll be deleted as soon as an admin checks my deletion suggestion. --Lord Belbury (talk) 13:46, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
is it possible for you to review Dutton's page i wrote as well? thanks Readbooksplease (talk) 13:48, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding uploading film poster[edit]

Hi, with regards to film posters how may I upload one to the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_(film) without getting flagged for copyright? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Publicistor (talk • contribs) 09:36, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Publicistor: If you own the rights to the poster, provide evidence of that via COM:VRT. If you don't own the rights to the poster, upload it to Wikipedia rather than Commons, and as fair use - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Non-free_content --Lord Belbury (talk) 09:38, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Lord Belburythank you! Publicistor (talk) 20:25, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

VFC[edit]

Thanks for your advice regarding VFC! After some technical fiddling (had to follow the instructions for non-autoconfirmed for some reason) I've tested it out. Is there a way to remove the notification of uploading account? Seems a bit pointless in this case. Best, Chipmunkdavis (talk) 16:08, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Chipmunkdavis: Good to hear you're finding it useful. No option for removing notifications that I'm aware of. It looks like a bot has stopped by the user's talk page to repost the notification anyway. Lord Belbury (talk) 17:00, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ah well. Far be it from me to stand against the robots. Thanks again! Chipmunkdavis (talk) 02:07, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Filipino logos[edit]

hi! it seems some might be legit. i spot checked File:Bohol Police Department.png. google led me to https://pro7.pnp.gov.ph/bohol-provincial-police-office/ . :/ RZuo (talk) 19:15, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@RZuo: Could well be, although the website header uses the other version of the image, and from the file URLs was uploaded more recently. I was operating under Wikipedia's "presumption in ambiguous cases should be to revert" for block evasion, that it's not a good use of volunteer time to scrupulously research and judge each of a hundred uploads when a user was evading a block, has uploaded subtly misleading files in the past, and didn't provide any sources. --Lord Belbury (talk) 07:26, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
i have no energy or knowledge to verify filipino stuff either. however, i think, maybe the user was trying to contribute, but s/he's not doing it right, which could be due to language barrier etc. i spot checked another File:Lapu Lapu City Police Department.png and the new logo is also legit https://pro7.pnp.gov.ph/lapu-lapu-city-police-office/ . in this and the aforementioned cases the website banner is not updated, but their constantly updated facebook pages have changed the logos. RZuo (talk) 08:00, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@RZuo: Fair comment. So what course do you recommend taking if I notice this user uploading another hundred maps and badges next week? --Lord Belbury (talk) 11:21, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
i think best we can do is write to him/her first, asking him/her to provide urls from which s/he got the files. if s/he cant speak english, maybe we could try finding a tagalog speaker and talk to him/her. if s/he doesnt respond, then we should just continue nuking the uploads until s/he stops, i guess. RZuo (talk) 14:21, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
i'm willing to spot check some files next time. RZuo (talk) 14:30, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Will let you know. I'll also tag SeanJ 2007 (talk · contribs) into this conversation in case they have any input on it: they were aware of the sock user before I was, and are active on the Tagalog Wikipedia project. --Lord Belbury (talk) 14:42, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

File:Bohol Police Department.png current logo is obviously fake, I searched it on google and it is not similar to the others. If you guys want to nominate it for deletion, go for it. SeanJ 2007 (talk) 02:29, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@SeanJ 2007: The https://pro7.pnp.gov.ph/bohol-provincial-police-office/ link at the top (which seems to be offline today) did include both the blue and brown shield logos, with only minor differences in colouring from the Commons uploads. Should we not be trusting that website? --Lord Belbury (talk) 07:59, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@RZuo: Oh okay, so the current file File:Bohol Police Department.png came from the website you mentioned. SeanJ 2007 (talk) 05:49, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Lord Belbury: The website you mentioned is trusted because it came from a government website. SeanJ 2007 (talk) 05:46, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

File:Personified hiijri months.png[edit]

I say one thing, this drawing is my OWN, not from DeviantArt or Google, I don't use DeviantArt, I just use Reddit, Tumblr, Instagram, Twitter only. I say TRUE, not lying! --Monthie (talk) 12:36, 21 May 2022

@Monthie: The deletion request is saying that you took File:ColombiaNationPeopleScreenshotCutted.png from DeviantArt which, got it, you've never used and that wasn't your picture. If you want to clarify that this other drawing is yours, leave a comment at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Personified hiijri months.png. --Lord Belbury (talk) 11:42, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I already let it in the file talk section --Monthie (talk) 12:57, 21 May 2022

@Monthie: Then that's the wrong place, you need to leave it at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Personified hiijri months.png. Thanks. --Lord Belbury (talk) 11:59, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have the right to host these files Content and copyright Rosoboronexport. Logvlad9 (talk) 09:12, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Logvlad9: Thanks, I'll remove the templates and work out what licence that should be filed under. --Lord Belbury (talk) 09:25, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Lord Belbury: You deleted one video from rosoboronexport, which was taken from their youtube channel. Logvlad9 (talk) 09:34, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Logvlad9: I checked the YouTube source on that one and it was explicitly uploaded under the YouTube Standard Licence there. YouTube users have the option to upload as CC-Attribution, but Rosoboronexport chose not to do that. If you can show that it falls under the website licence, you can request undeletion at COM:UNDEL.
I've started a discussion at Commons:Village_pump/Copyright#roe.ru_licence to find out what licence these media should be uploaded as, since Rosoboronexport aren't explicitly saying that they are CC-Attribution. --Lord Belbury (talk) 09:39, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Lord Belbury: "All materials of the official website of Rosoboronexport can be reproduced in any media, on Internet servers or on any other media without any restrictions on the volume and timing of publication, indicating the source." - nothing is said about YouTube, but since full permission is given to publish their materials from the site, it is quite logical that they will not be against it. In addition, the video has their emblem with the inscription. Logvlad9 (talk) 09:46, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Logvlad9: It does seem likely, but it depends whether the video also appears on their "official website" or not. If it's on the channel but not the website, they may have drawn that distinction very deliberately, perhaps if the video used some sections of footage that they didn't own the full copyright to. You can raise this in the undeletion request. --Lord Belbury (talk) 09:49, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Lord Belbury: I went to the description on their YouTube channel. JSC Rosoboronexport is listed there, the same is on their website. They don't host videos on their site at all. But on the YouTube channel, all their videos are published with their logo and the inscription rosoboronexport. Logvlad9 (talk) 09:59, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Logvlad9: Sounds like it depends whether "materials of the official website of Rosoboronexport can be reproduced in any media" (which I appreciate is only a machine translation of the original text!) could be said to apply to their YouTube channel or any other social media output. If that's an accurate translation, I would assume not. --Lord Belbury (talk) 10:04, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Lord Belbury: I emailed them with this question. Logvlad9 (talk) 10:13, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Lord Belbury: They have a video on the official website. And these videos link to their YouTube channel. If they publish videos from their YouTube channel on their website, and not separately. So the site is directly connected to the YouTube channel. Logvlad9 (talk) 11:45, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Logvlad9: Okay, thanks for looking into it. Raise that at COM:UNDEL and an admin will consider it. --Lord Belbury (talk) 11:47, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@All cats are british: Didn't realise you were claiming to be the Kayra Kaya who's named as the author there.

File:Mariah Carey wax figure (5358388070).jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Richiesta di mantenimento dell'immagine "Cugino di Cristoforo Colombo".png[edit]

Salve, dal mio account Wikipedia ho saputo che è stato cancellato un file con questa dicitura: "‎Immagine scherzo inutilizzata, fuori da ‎‎COM:SCOPE‎‎. Sfondo presumibilmente di pubblico dominio, immagine di occhiali da sole sovrapposta presumibilmente no." In realtà lo scopo era (Visto che oltre a Wikipedia uso anche la nonciclopedia) usarla in una pagina di, appunto, nonciclopedia. Poi per quanto riguarda gli occhiali, sono stati presi da paint 3d sotto licenza di pubblico dominio. Grazie Cinescienza (talk) 07:58, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cinescienza: Sorry, I don't know what you mean by "nonciclopedia". If you think the image should not be deleted, reply at Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Centomilcento.png. --Lord Belbury (talk) 11:48, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Questions about photo deletions[edit]

I am lost as to the rules of cover photo uploading. I understand that I can't just upload the covers I find on google, but the last three I've uploaded (Schiop, Soldații/ Goldiș / Bocai, Filologii) are all photos I made mysel of books I own - it's clearly visibile from their details, one can see the creases on the covers. Are these unacceptable as well? Previous personal photographs of books I own were kept on the site, so I don't know why these were marked for copyright violation? I own the images. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aelpenor (talk • contribs) 08:43, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Aelpenor: If a book cover includes copyrighted artwork, someone taking a photo of that artwork doesn't transfer the copyright to them. If I want to publish a book myself, I can't just take a photo of another book to use as its cover art. See Commons:Derivative works. Covers that are purely text are too simple to copyright, but anything with creative artistic elements could be challenged. Lord Belbury (talk) 08:58, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Lord Belbury: So if I'm writing articles on contemporary literature, there is basically no chance for me to upload book covers without them being taken down. But I will respect the rule, thank you for the swift reply, I'll refrain from uploading any covers. Aelpenor (talk) 09:18, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Aelpenor: You can't upload modern book covers to Commons, but you may be able to upload them to your local Wikipedia project under "fair use", if it allows it. (The English Wikipedia project permits this under https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Non-free_content, allowing its articles about modern books and films to be illustrated.) --Lord Belbury (talk) 09:23, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
