File:Назив фотографије унети овде.jpg

This file was nominated for deletion along with a list of others uploaded by Imikiwiki. You have deleted all of them except File:Назив фотографије унети овде.jpg. Was there a specific reason to keep this one or was it an oversight??--Headlock0225 (talk) 11:18, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

@Headlock0225: Thanks for alerting me. Sometimes the delete gadget doesn't always work, so thanks for catching that Gbawden (talk) 11:55, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Where can I find a deletion request for this A. de Vries' drawing?

You deleted it from Commons in October 8, 2020 but you left no reference to the rationale for such move. I would like to find out how that file violated the Wikirules. Thank you in advance for your kind reply! --Iaroslavvs (talk) 14:52, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

@Iaroslavvs: Hi. This was based on a discussion at Commons:Deletion requests/Uploads by NGCZ As so many files were involved they weren't all linked to the DR and I had to manually delete them - which is why it only says per a deletion request Gbawden (talk) 15:15, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi

Hi there. When I even forgot to wish you a happy new year (vaccines are coming, let's celebrate it now :) you always help with my mistakes and shortcomings. Thank you very much. I think Uploads by مالهوترا also need a mass DR. Thanks a lot for everything and all the best. --E4024 (talk) 15:45, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Please participate in the Universal Code of Conduct consultation on Wikimedia Commons!

Dear Gbawden

Thank you for your hard work to create the sum of all knowledge that is freely sharable to every single human being across the world. As our diverse community grows, we need a guideline that will help all of our work collectively and constructively where everyone feels safe, welcomed, and part of a team. That is why the Wikimedia movement is working on establishing a global guideline called the Universal Code of Conduct, often referred to as UCoC.

After the months-long policy consultation, we have prepared a policy (available in many languages) that has been ratified by the Board of Trustees. We’re currently in the second phase of the process. During this round of consultation, we want to discuss the implementation of this policy. As a member of the functionary team of Wikimedia Commons, your opinion on enforcement is of great value. We want to hear from you on how this policy can be enforced on the Wikimedia Commons community and what might be needed to do so. There are a few enforcement questions so you can easily outline your answers based on them. Please do not hesitate to bring any more questions/challenges you think are not yet discussed.

The discussion is taking place on Commons:Universal Code of Conduct consultation. You can also share your thoughts by replying to this message (Please ping me so I get notified), posting your message on my talk page. I am aware that some thoughts cannot be expressed publicly, so you can always share your opinion by emailing me as well.

As a valued member of the Commons community, please share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences that relate to UCoC. Let us know what needs to be improved so we can build a more friendly and cooperative space to increase editor engagement and retention of new users.

Wikimedia projects are governed by you. So, it is you who needs to step up to ensure a safe, comfortable, and pleasant working environment.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you! Wikitanvir (WMF) (talk) 10:18, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Please take a short survey regarding UCoC

Hello Gbawden,

I would like to inform you that we now have a survey in place to take part in the UCoC consultation. It is not a long one and should take less than 10 minutes to complete. You can take the survey even if you have already participated in the on-wiki consultation. It has a different set of questions and allows you to participate anonymously and privately.

As a member of the Commons functionaries, your opinion is especially essential. Please click here to participate in the survey.

You are still welcome to participate in the on-wiki discussions. If you prefer you can have your say by sending me an email. You can also drop me an email if you want to have a one-to-one chat.

Thank you for your participation! Wikitanvir (WMF) 13:53, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

regarding image deletions from the Symeon Shimin page

hi - either the images were pulled directly from the website regarding his art or provided by his family for me to use in the creation of this page. Symeon Shimin is no longer living and his daughter requested my help in creating wiki page to honor her father. all of the pictured of his art were provided by her. or taken directly off her website about him. which I've cited all sources, as well as responded to it being unpublished due to him still being alive which isn't the case.

Affected:

File:-12 Dance in the Desert.tif And also:

File:-11 SS Boy on Fire escape.jpg File:-10 JIm CRow POster.jpg File:-6 Three Women.jpg File:Studio 19602.png File:-15 The Pack.jpg File:-7 Vanity Fair Cover.jpg File:-8 Mural DOJ'.jpg File:-5 SS CA 1920s.tif File:-3 SS Young Man, CA 1920.tif File:-2. SS Family Astrakhan 1911 copy.pdf File:-1 SS portrait.jpg

these are the files that are up for deletion, it would be really awesome if people were able to see these along side the description of his entire body of work.

it has now been months, I'd love for this to be published. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaddAnna (talk • contribs) 00:49, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

@MaddAnna: Hi. In order to publish art on Commons we need permission from the artist or their heirs via COM:OTRS. Your family can send us an email via OTRS and if approved we will undelete these Gbawden (talk) 06:07, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Undeletion Request for File:Solaris Erke.jpg

The mentioned file (File:Solaris Erke.jpg), was especially selected for to be used in (Solaris Güneş Arabaları Ekibi). And in the description of the uploaded image (File:Solaris Erke.jpg), I noted that the image was from Solar Team Solaris' media archive, which marked for the necessary licensing Wikipedia requires and again used by the permission of Solar Team Solaris' Sponsorship and Media Subgroup. Therefore, as a member of that group, we kindly request undeletion of the file.

Yours sincerely, --Squieler (talk) 11:55, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

@Squieler: Hi. Please follow the instructions at COM:OTRS Gbawden (talk) 14:58, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Image must be deleted

This image https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archivo:Altar_del_Inmaculado_Coraz%C3%B3n_(Galicia,_Espa%C3%B1a).jpg must be deleted because copyright doesn't belong to me. I had exactly the same problem with other images and they were deleted without any problem. The image was not taken by me and I don't have the copyright. It's very simple. The real owner of that image wants it to be deleted (I uploaded it to wikimedia without permission).Enciclopedia1993 (talk) 19:32, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

File:Landelino Lavilla, Presidente de UCD, en Gerona, España (03-10-1982) (cropped).jpg

Hi Gbawden,

This file has been nominated for deletion. If you click on the link to the nomination page you get the Deletion Nomination for File:Landelino Lavilla, Presidente de UCD, en Gerona, España (03-10-1982).jpg which I believe you may have deleted. File:Landelino Lavilla, Presidente de UCD, en Gerona, España (03-10-1982) (cropped).jpg remains undeleted. I suspect you did not realise that File:Landelino Lavilla, Presidente de UCD, en Gerona, España (03-10-1982) (cropped).jpg links to the same Deletion Nomination. I suggest that the logic in deleting File:Landelino Lavilla, Presidente de UCD, en Gerona, España (03-10-1982).jpg also applies to File:Landelino Lavilla, Presidente de UCD, en Gerona, España (03-10-1982) (cropped).jpg and I ask that you delete this file too. Thanks for all your work on Commons. --Headlock0225 (talk) 13:33, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

I'd like to know why are you, in South Africa, deleting my photos from my own Wikipedia page? I am the author, the editor discussed on the page and I am the copyright owner of the photograph. There was a previous photo that had been up for two decades and suddenly it was deleted? Again, why?

Hi: I nominated this image for deletion on 14 August 2020 as inaccurate with trolling captions; you kept it since it was still in use.

Hello. I asked this image to be deleted months ago and as I can see the picture is still on wikimedia. I wrote that the photo didn't belong to me but the image is still on commons. I has just the same problem with other images and all of them were deleted very fast, so I don't understand what is the problem with this photograph. I don't have the copyright of the image and the real owner wants the deletion, and the wikimedia commons is very clear about copyright violation.Enciclopedia1993 (talk) 21:15, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

As the uploader, I cannot find a record of notification for this deletion request in my talk archives User_talk:Fæ/2020. I was going to convert the speedy deletion notice to a DR, to put the case for keep, considering that the photographer is interesting and the Unsplash collection is a useful, now limited, notable collection of high-quality photographs in its own right. -- (talk) 08:33, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

@: Hi. That is odd. FWIW While in general i agree that the Unsplash collection is useful, this one was a bit dull IMO - we don't need to keep every single one Gbawden (talk) 08:49, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Good morning, I do not understand what is the problem with the images. The ones I got from the internet are identified. The ones I got from books have the corresponding citation.

@Criminalista Argentino: Unfortunately commons cannot accept images that are not freely licensed, no matter if you cite the source. See COM:L Gbawden (talk) 16:10, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi, you deleted File:Kanan Aliyev 2014 European Championships EMS-IN t132545.jpg with the motive "Personal photo by non-contributors". I'm quite puzzled by this motive as I personally took this picture during the 2014 European Fencing Championships, as show the title and the description page. Kanan Aliyev was one of the competitors. The presence of this picture on Commons may be disputed as out of scope, as Aliyev is a poorly ranked fencer, but it is in no way a personal photo. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 07:34, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

File:Yallappa Nandi.jpg

I don’t understand your closing here: You claim that your reason for deletion was the nomination and F10, yet the nomination was a hackjob by someone who didn’t even bothered to sign, and F10, being a criterium for speedy deletion, doesn’t even apply to a regular DR. On the other hand, you seem to have ignored solid, policy based arguments for both deletion and retaining: COM:INUSE and COM:COPYVIO, presented in the discussion to support either outcome. -- Tuválkin 12:57, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

@Tuvalkin: Hi. The file wasn't in use - I have double checked. As for my F10 comment - I was too lazy to type - My bad. I should have written " No longer in use and probably out of scope" Gbawden (talk) 13:01, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Thanks for replying. It would be simplest to delete it for copyvio. I’m sure it was in use when I said it was, so it might have been removed from that use by the nominator or some such, which is yet another can of worms: File deleting should not be a matter of admins unwittingly doing favours to IPs and drive-by editors with obscure agendas. -- Tuválkin 13:06, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Absolutely! [Here is where we are currently https://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/51344512902] in the album News of 1910s, the year is 1923, but we just found an image from 1918 mixed in. Someone must have used it to make a copy at Bain and misfiled it. I have been going back to earlier tranches and finding ones we all just skipped over because the person didn't have an entry in Wikipedia, but now they may be in Wikidata since all of The Peerage was loaded to Wikidata. I also create entries in Wikidata for the obscure people that do not have entries already. Here is a good example of a 1914 image I went back to and had skipped over when it was first presented: File:American League (owners?), 2-11-14 LCCN2014695420.jpg and here is where I created a Wikidata entry for someone in a photo: James Lawrence Spalding --RAN (talk) 16:24, 1 August 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)

Hello Gbawden I hope you're doing well. I came across Commons:Deletion requests/Files upload with Seri Özeti. I was eagerly waiting for the files to be deleted.

Hello Gbawden. You have decided to keep in this discussion because there is a valid Youtube license. Please see the source video for this file. ExtraTurki is written in the first second of the video probably. But a Youtube channel named SeriÖzeti that publishes the video on Youtube. So it's not the TV channel that took the video.

@Gråbergs Gråa Sång: I suggest you post your request at COM:UDR and they can evaluate if the PD template would apply to these files Gbawden (talk) 11:16, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
Done, thanks. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:32, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

A situation in which I need a solution

Hello Gbawden I don't know if you expertise here but I thought there would be no bad to ask. So what happened yesterday that a famous YouTuber agreed to give some of his video's screenshot to me. Now, if I upload all those image/screenshots on Commons, what would I have to do in order to give it a correct license? Because the YouTuber disagrees to make his whole video CC. Help please. --Contributers2020Talk to me here 05:06, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Contributers2020: . This is an interesting one. You could get him to give you OTRS for those specific images - not sure if there is another way. You could also ask at COM:HD Gbawden (talk) 06:36, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
Hey @Gbawden: , guess I have to visit COM:HD as he is a very famous YouTuber. He wasn't even caring my email but after multiple attempts he just agreed to license the screenie for CC-BY 4.0 (lol I don't know if code is correct). It's impossible he is going to take the time to fill the OTRS and email and all. --Contributers2020Talk to me here 10:26, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Deletion of File:Photo de Didier Yao.jpg

Hello. I think you may have deleted this file in error. It was in use on Meta with reference to a user called Didierwiki, who appears to have 800 edits, which does not look to me like "no constructive contributions". Thanks, The Land (talk) 13:30, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

@RoyalKnights3000: Unfortunately it doesn't work like that. We need permission from the photographer - posting on Facebook doesn't make it free. I suggest you read COM:L Gbawden (talk) 06:32, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
Unfortunately RoyalKnights3000 has now been blocked by Elcobbola. As usual, a terrible block. Its main purpose as a week's block would seem to be to exclude them from the DRs. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:36, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Did you mean to leave me a warning?

I looked at your recent contributions and none of them seemed to be to files I recently uploaded. Geo Swan (talk) 14:29, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

@Geo Swan: Sorry about that. IIRC I tagged a file you uploaded from flickr and the gadget automatically alerts the uploader Gbawden (talk) 06:23, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
  • Okay, after leaving this note I looked more closely, saw {{autotranslate|1=File:(12)Mr. Franklin Tang, Mr. Simon Wong, Mr. Chua Kim Leng, Mr. Phil Tan and Mr. Tan Ian Mao (10273652865).jpg|2=|base=speedywhat}}
  • I found no files containing 10273652865.
  • I used the flinfo utility to find the corresponding 10273652865 image on flickr. It doesn't look familiar. It does look like it was properly licensed, however.
  • So, had this image been uploaded, and subsequently deleted?
  • If so, did I upload it, even though it doesn't look familiar?
Thanks Geo Swan (talk) 12:58, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
@Geo Swan: Yes you uploaded it back in 2017. I deleted it as Out of Scope/F10 - an group of men that is unlikely to have an EDUSE. if you think I made a mistake I can undel and open a DR. Gbawden (talk) 09:25, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

DR

Hi Gbawden, In regards to this DR - Could you undelete the file and renominate it please as there was no consensus to delete the file - Whilst I can appreciate you and the nominator found the image of poor quality myself and another participant didn't so I don't see how we can arrive at a Delete here,
I've long forgotten what the image was so I'd be happy to take another look at it if undeleted, Many thanks, Kind Regards, –Davey2010Talk 11:39, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Davey2010: . I suggest you file a COM:UDR for it if you feel this strongly about it. Per COM:DEL "The debates are not votes, and the closing admin will apply copyright law and Commons policy to the best of his or her ability in determining whether" the file should be deleted or kept."

In this case I don't see an EDUSE for a photo that is so dark as to be unusable and we have enough sunset photos Gbawden (talk) 14:38, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi Gbawden, Would it be possible if you could provide the source link for that file please as I can't remember what the file looked like, Many thanks, –Davey2010Talk 17:22, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi Gbawden, Thank you very much for providing that - Having relooked at it I'm 50/50 - I like the mountain with the sun behind it and honestly I think it would suit Category:Sunlight but then the mountain and it's surroundings are all dark .... I feel like it would have some use to be honest,
I'll head to UDR and see what others think, Thanks agin for your help much appreciated, Take care and stay safe, Regards, –Davey2010Talk 12:01, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

File:Jacob Cooper headshot 2019.jpg

Hi, I see you deleted File:Jacob Cooper headshot 2019.jpg. I just wanted to point out: the site it was taken from is https://jacobcoopermusic.bandcamp.com/album/terrain; and the id of the person who uploaded it is Jmcooper02, which is most likely Jacob Cooper.

I actually asked him about this very same image a year and a half ago: User talk:Jmcooper02#File:Jacob Cooper headshot 2019.jpg and he asserted "I hired David Johansen to take the photo, and he should be credited as the photographer, but, as per my agreement with him, I own the copyright to the photo."

I'm not sure whether this suggests maybe OTRS rather than deletion might be the correct route. (I'm only occasionally on Commons; I'm mostly familiar with the ways over at English Wikipedia.) TJRC (talk) 02:43, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi @TJRC: Unfortunately before we can host this photo on Commons we have to have that permission from the photographer in writing via COM:OTRS. If }} @Jmcooper02: could get that permission to us we can restore the photo Gbawden (talk) 13:05, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
I know we normally need the permission of the photographer, but that's because they normally retain the copyright in their own work, but when something is a "work for hire", the copyright rests with the person who paid for it. At Commons, we need the copyright holder to release the pic. Saying that we always need the permission of the actual photographer, implies that they still retain the copyright even when they've given it away. Robman94 (talk) 15:15, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Andrew Bodnar

Hi Gbawden, regarding this deletion, I have offered to help Andrew get his pics reloaded, but I need your advice. Due to the advent of tripods, it's totally possible for someone to take a picture of themselves, but the big question is, how do you prove it to the Wikipedia folks? Do you normally ask folks to take a picture holding a sign that says something to the effect "hey, it's really me taking this pic" or would it be better for him to get his wife to take a pic of him taking the selfie. Bottom line, how does someone prove that they took their own selfie? Thanks in advance, Rob. Robman94 (talk) 15:10, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

@Robman94: Hi. One of the concerns was the low quality - perhaps uploading a better quality photo would help. But ideally he can send confirmation via COM:OTRS and that will resolve the issue for once and for all Gbawden (talk) 06:19, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

It was certainly a shock to see:

Keep ... Deleted: per discussion.

In fact, it seems that the file was never deleted. Did you misstate your decision here? Brianjd (talk) 10:41, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Brianjd: Definitely finger trouble. Thanks for spotting that - i was meant to hit the keep button Gbawden (talk) 11:45, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

I appreciate your due diligence RE: copyright, but on this matter I am the photographer and copyright holder. I accidentally re-uploaded the original file, which you can delete if you like, but I've followed up with another photo from the same session on the same day which has not been published anywhere. You can see both photos were taken with the same equipment and in the same circumstances, only with a different lighting setup. If you still want to delete the first photo, be my guest, but the second photo of the subject can't be found anywhere else and should meet your copyright concern requirements.

Requesting the non-deletion of photos

Dear sir. The photos [[35]] you proposed to be eliminated were copied from the biographer's personal file on Flickr. All photos are in the public domain, as you can see on the link. I ask, please, to reconsider the recommendation to eliminate those photos. Below are the photos that need to be kept: File:Célio Martins ganha o Bola de Ouro por reportagens sobre futebol.jpg File:Célio Martins com jogador Cafu na entrega do prêmio Bola de Ouro.jpg File:Guga campeão de Roland Garros.jpg File:Célio Martins quando cursava Jornalismo na UEL.jpg File:Jornalista Célio Martins toma posse na direção do SindijorPR.jpg File:Jornalista Célio Martins durante produção de uma série de reportagens sobre Cuba, em 2013.jpg File:Jornalista Célio Martins produz série de reportagens na Venezuela.jpg File:Jornalista Célio Martins em 1986.jpg File:Jornalista Célio Martins entrevista o jogador Dunga, em 1997.jpg Request to keep photos that are in the public domain

Photo deletion

You deleted a photo of Bai Ling claiming it was a possible copyright violation because it's on the internet. Where exactly is it? The only place it's on the internet is at IMDB posted by the subject herself. You are a student and not a copyright expert. What you did could be illegal. Please restore the photo unless you can prove alleged copyright violation. Colbfi (talk) 08:23, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Copyright

When a subject hires a photographer to take a photograph it is a work for hire and the copyright is held by the subject not anyone else. Please restore the photo of Bai Ling you incorrectly deleted. Colbfi (talk) 08:28, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

@Colbfi: Copyright belongs to the photographer. if they have signed that copyright over to you or released it then send that permission via COM:OTRS and it can be restored. Gbawden (talk) 09:59, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
