File:Coat of Arms of Canada (1957).jpg

I'm curious why this file was deleted, as it was under Canada Crown copyright starting in 1957, and the term for Crown copyright in Canada is 50 years (see Commons:Copyright rules by territory#Canada). Was the file lacking licence information? (It's not particularly important, as File:Coat of Arms of Canada (1957).png can be used in its place. I just wanted clarification about it.) Mindmatrix 21:36, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Looks like a mistake on my part. I've restored it. INeverCry 21:40, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

I've converted it to a DR so there can atleast be a discussion. I would think the concern is about Thompson Paul and his copyright. INeverCry 17:31, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks :),Appreciate Your Quick Reply,But Flickr states that it has No KNOWN copyright restrictions,Then it implicit for General as a PD Right ? MediaJet talk 18:44, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Happy Holidays

	Happy Holidays!
	G'day, just a quick greeting wishing you and your family happy holidays and all the best for 2014. And of course, a big thank you for putting a leg up by doing what you do on Commons, and helping to make it the fantastic project that it is. Greetings from a warm west coast of Aussie. russavia (talk) 01:35, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

In dubio pro reo

Leider ist mein Schulenglisch von vor vierzig Jahren nicht mehr so gut, Please let this translate.

Du hast die Datei: gelöscht. Warum? Suchen die Admins auf commons nicht nach entlastenden Argumenten (in diesem Fall Bilder) und löschen auf Zuruf von irgendjemandem einfach alles? Kann man so machen, hinterlässt aber kein gutes Bild über die Qualität der Admins dort. Diese Briefmarke wurde ursprünglich als Gemälde veröffentlicht, was schon lange gemeinfrei ist.

Das gleiche gilt für viele der derzeit von Löschung bedrohten Briefmarken des Deutschen Reiches, Ich erwarte nicht eine globale Löschung eines Jahrgangs von den Admins hier, sondern eine Einzelfallprüfung. Im Zweifel wäre eine Anfrage auf Wikipedia:Urheberrechtsfragen sehr nützlich. Es ist natürlich unmöglich innerhalb weniger Tage eine Gemeinfreiheit zu belegen, aber der Anschein durch das Alter sollte genügen.

Ich weiss, das commons sich sowieso immer weiter von den ursprünglichen Gedanken der Wikipedia entfernt, aber dieser Versuch ist es mir wert. Gruss --Nightflyer (talk) 23:09, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

File:Koh Kteah.jpg

I am the owner of the file Koh Kteah and i am also the owner of kohrong-samloem.com, where i have the image published in a different form,size etc. I hope that we are through with it, this time. I submitted the file at wiki-commons in the regular way, but a variety of users does have a problem with that. The image has been deleted once - without any feasible justification. There is an obvious dilemma gtoing on and i have the impression, the wiki community would be greatly advised to redefine certain regulations especially in respect to people, who provide knowledge. On top of that, i live in a country, where due to a number of reasons, information and knowledge from reliable primary sources is very hard towards impossible to obtain. In quite many cases, me and the people of my social surroundings - are the primary source, though. I have - as most of the other users - a regular job and sacrifice my spare time here. Although i am a developer, i am rather untrained with these wiki tags. Hence my bad style Wikirictor Thank you for your attention

IP removing cleanup templates

That may be true, but it also appears that additional material is being deleted: [2] Is this appropriate? --Rschen7754 19:40, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

I think adding a specific category like Category:Erik Sommer is a lot more useful than the DrTrigonbot stuff. You're reverting the IP and removing Category:Erik Sommer, leaving the image uncatted. I'd rather have the bot spam removed than a good category. Also, this IP is creating good categories and adding them to images like this, which seems like constructive editing to me. You might be better off asking him to just add the cats and leave the bot stuff alone. INeverCry 19:51, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

I would request to delete it again, the collage still contains many non-free images (like this one) which are under deletion request, few have already been deleted (like this one but is still there in the source}. The user is uploading files falsely claiming that they are in public domain (like this one) and changing the non-free use rationales of many existing images into public domain licenses (like this one) to use those images in the collage.--Kmzayeem (talk) 10:23, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

The collage also lacks a source for an image, as there are 36 images but sources for only 35.--Kmzayeem (talk) 15:06, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the echo notification: The file was temporically restored by me in July 2012 to get a permission by the copyright holder (it is easier for them to check when they can have a look at the picture). This permission never arrived and the file was subsequently deleted. Unfortunately it was now uploaded again without handling this first with the OTRS team.

Request

Hi INeverCry,

I have not been on Commons much except for clearing out file rename requests. Could you please remove my autopatroller tool because I haven't been really using it (I had been using it for my image uploads and category creations, something I am not currently doing). Thanks. Sportsguy17 (T • C) 22:54, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Do you mean you want the filemover right removed? Autopatrol is for indicating trusted users, which you certainly still are, and I've only seen it removed in cases where the editor was blocked for disruption. It's ok to have the filemover right and not use it for a while, but if you really want it removed I can do that. I would prefer not to remove autopatroller though. INeverCry 23:05, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

No, I meant remove my autopatroller tool, but if you do not want to, that's fine, I'm willing to keep the tool in case I ever do use it. Thanks. Sportsguy17 (T • C) 02:45, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

All that the autopatroller right does is automatically mark your edits as patrolled any time you edit. This helps patrollers sift through recent changes, new pages, etc. It's not actually a tool that you "use" per se: it's more of a filter. INeverCry 02:56, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

I really see the lack of patrollers now. 301 patrollers (including me) + 264 admins versus > 20000 edits. JianhuiMobile (talk) 06:16, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Dubious renaming requests

Hello INeverCry,

Please check user:HHubi's activity in making renaming requsts on Russian Imperial Army insignia. I'm not sure that File:Russian Imperial Army OF3 Major.png is to be renamed to File:IRA F3Maj 1917 h.png. It rather looks like changing accurate names into misleading ones. I can't find this abbreviation ([4], en:IRA) and I'm positive that Major is better than Maj. Thank you, Sealle (talk) 10:46, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

I've seen uniform/mechanical naming systems like this used with insignias, COAs, flags, etc. I rarely handle renaming though, so you may want to either talk to the user doing the requests or post at AN or VP. INeverCry 18:40, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

With cover images, we require OTRS confirmation of the license from the copyright holder. In this case, you indicated that Clarion Magazine is published by Pen & Anvil Press with Boston University.

Since the image has been deleted (and the deletion process always (grr) deletes the wikipage containing the image file, rather than simply adding a placeholder and revdeling the offending image), I can't now see any of the information alleged to be false in the deletion request. I'd like to see that deleted wikitext - can that be userfied or copied to my Talk page? I'd also like the image to be emailed to me, so I can research it, and if needed, re-upload to Wikipedia as non-free with proper attribution. The subject is deceased, and so the image is permitted in biographical articles as fair use. Thank you. {{YGM}} --Lexein (talk) 01:49, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello INeverCry, could you please check Special:Contributions/Fulvio_Wetzl? He had a lot of problems whith his files, you deleted every image he uploaded (have a look on his user talk). Thank you very much! --Delfort (talk) 12:07, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

The disruptive IP editor at User talk:Shizhao

Regarding the hidden revisions on User talk:Shizhao, would it be possible that I know what the contents of those comments were? This person is doing the same thing on the Chinese Wikipedia (IP hopping from the same Hong Kong ISP and making attacks against editors), and I'm thinking of starting a Sockpuppet Investigation there, however I'd like to consolidate what available evidence I have at the moment. The revisions were hidden too quickly before I could read them (which is a good thing), so I can't really make a behaviourial argument without actually seeing what was actually written. -- 李博杰  —Talk contribs 00:50, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

File:Round_Island(Scillonia)2.jpg

Hi, regarding the deletion request for Round_Island(Scillonia)2.jpg, it was deleted and restored with new source information however I was under the impression because the photograph is not being published for the first time here we needed something more then just a licence template claiming the author releases the work to the public domain given the uploader doesn't appear to be the photographer? Thank you. Cube00 (talk) 11:49, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Query with regard to bot block

Hi, on IRC at 17:30 today, someone using the same name as GuilesDitzel (talk · contribs) was complaining that they set up the account intending to upload 300 photos of birds and places. Just waiving a flag here for you to think about it. If there was room for error on this one, it may be worth approaching this account for more details. --Fæ (talk) 19:07, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

I unblocked that account. --Dschwen (talk) 19:15, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello there, with much apologies for this annoyance, could you please delete this ? I mistakenly created it before remembering how to work out the phrasing of categs titles so that they fit right int he categs that they go in, AND before remembering that I could not delete it myself. (really sorry, it's getting so 'late' that it's just about getting past 'unreasonably early', here. I can't even remember how to write that categ so that you just have to click on it to access it :/ or maybe it's gone now? or is it?? I'd have sworn it was created, and even had 2 pics in it for about 15 mns. Or was it??? donnow. too many tabs open. it's a mess. So, please do check if it's clean or not, and please would you clean it if it's not... No emergency but for that.

Toronto Film Critics Association-logo

Hi INeverCry. This logo only consists of simple geometric shapes and/or text. It does not meet the threshold of originality needed for copyright protection, and is therefore in the public domain. You can see it from here. Have a nice day.--Rapsar (talk) 22:36, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Need some help/advice, please.

Was working on an en.WP file for en:Sam 'n' Henry and noticed this file File:Sam n henry.gif. Was able to fix things with it because I had the copyright info for the book. But can't "fix" the rest of this user's uploads because there's no information about where the photos/images really came from. I don't believe the user uploaded in bad faith/intent to upload copyrighted material, but that he/she just doesn't understand that while you may take a scan of a book cover or photo, it doesn't make you the owner of any copyright that may exist for it. Where do we go from here? Thanks! We hope (talk) 18:08, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

This image

Do you have any ideas on this image--whether it is OK or not? It a hard call, I think--the uploader's claims although it is used on wikipedia. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 22:20, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

I've put in a delete vote. INeverCry 22:36, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

• I don't know if the uploader is a family relative but I don't want to bit a new contributor. Its a hard call, all the same. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 22:53, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Copyright concerns have to be addressed. As long as this is done in a respectful manner, we're doing the right thing. INeverCry 22:59, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

• Thank you. As an aside, is it safe to pass this image since I don't know who own the image rights--Getty Images or the Photographer here who has 27,000 images on his flickr account:
• File:Trey Burke defends Vince Carter.jpg

If you're tired, please feel free to say so and perhaps someone else will tag or pass/fail this image. Or I'll ask someone else. I think the photographer's statement "NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by downloading and or using this photograph, User is consenting to the terms and conditions of the Getty Images License Agreement. Mandatory Copyright Notice: Copyright 2013 NBAE (Photo by Danny Bollinger/NBAE via Getty Images)" might cover Commons...but what do I know. If its OK, it should be placed in the image talkpage. Kind Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 01:07, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

That image may be a problem if he took it as part of work for the NBA. The NBA/Getty might own the copyright. I noticed that in this image from the same flickr user, it looks like an image taken on his own for himself. A DR may be a good idea for the above image, or allowing someone who knows more about these than me to review it, or posting a question at COM:VP/C. INeverCry 02:06, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

If you check en:Special:Contributions/MordechaiBV you'll see that account has a much better command of English than Beleiutz, and that it doesn't edit the same sort of articles.

Request

Can you please examine the deleted page histories of the following enwiki pages?

• https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&page=File%3AArchimedes_Heat_Ray.gif
• https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&page=File%3AArchimedes_Heat_Ray_conceptual_diagram.png

Did Tablizer ever claim to be the creator of that diagram? Presently, File:Archimedes_Heat_Ray_conceptual_diagram.png lists "PNG crusade bot" as the diagram's sole author, and that's obviously incorrect. Tablizer probably should be listed as the author, but I'm not sure if he's the creator of the diagram or merely someone who uploaded it to enwiki. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 15:05, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Deletion question

Hi INeverCry I dont know why you deleted file:noqol.jpg. or in Persian پرونده:Noqol.jpg We used this Photo from my friend weblog in which he clearly has written using this photos are free if the its resource (his weblog) be mentioned. I have mentioned the resource (his weblog ) as resource. this photo is an Amatory photo of a village in Iran. may you undelete this photo with special Thanks sarzamin80

There doesn't seem to be a direct statement at http://peyamnama.blogfa.com/post/362 regarding copyright of the images, including this one. He would have to indicate a free license, either under that particular image, saying it's released under a free license, or at the bottom of the page, saying all the images are released under a free license. INeverCry 22:43, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi INeverCry I requested my friend to put the statement in his weblog and he did. Please check http://peyamnama.blogfa.com/1392/02 again. He has written in Persian استفاده از تصاویر این وبلاگ با ذکر منبع بلا مانع است. that means " using photos of this weblog with mention of its resource is allowed." Please undelete file:noqol.jpg Sarzamin80 with special thanks

He needs to put up an actual license such as CC-BY-SA-3.0. He has to make it clear that he understands commercial and derivative use of his image/s will be allowed if the images are hosted on Commons. INeverCry 18:14, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi INeverCry how we can do it in our weblog. may to describe it for me simply. I really have been confused. more than 10 hours i searched this in Google but couldn't find how. may you practically say what should we do. I mean how we can put CC-BY-SA-3.0 in practice. which website? how? should we write just something in the weblog, if so, what? or should we register somewhere? sorry for such unrelated questions. with special thanks thanks.Sarzamin 80 thanking you

You can place text under a single image stating that it's released under {{Cc-by-sa-3.0}} or another free license, or you can place a statement at the top or bottom of the site stating that all images on the site are released under a free license such as CC-BY-SA-3.0.

Hi, INeverCry, we applied CC-BY-SA-3.0. on the http://peyamnama.blogfa.com/post/362/. as you said. So please undelete file:noqol.jpg. thanks Sarzamin 80

Bollywood Hungama

Firstly there are a huge number of unreviewed Bollywood Hungama files. I have asked another Indian editor to work there. Second, I am seeing an increased number of "wrong source" mention there. I feel this is happening there: an editor is selecting an image, Bollywood Hungama provides few other images thumbnail in image reel above the opened image.An editor clicks on another image. But unfortunately the image URL does not change there. You may check it here. They need to open the image from the main page. I think there should be a note for it. Fixing so many sources are problematic. Also, can you add an option "License review on hold" with an option of "custom message", where I can easily write "please give exact URL" (it is because I sometimes can't find the images) Tito☸Dutta 17:48, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Can you explain logic please?

You have deleted a large number of images I have uploaded. I had used the "published in US before 1923" logic for their being out of copyright. The person who asked for them to be deleted has said that this is irrelevant on the grounds that if they had been published in Afghanistan they would be copyright free. But the Wikimedia copyright explanation clearly says that "because the servers are in the US, then US copyright law applies". Thanks for any guidance on how you came to your decision. I looked for this on the talk page but there is nothing there. The notes above say "Please link the files I am asking about" but they have been deleted by you so this is impossible.Afterbrunel (talk) 10:59, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

The concern was that these images are still copyrighted in the UK. Images have to be free both in the US and in the source country to be hosted on Commons. INeverCry 02:03, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. As you will appreciate, assembling these images to improve the readability of a Wikipedia article took me some time, and a little money. I realise that you will not have arbitrarily undone that effort, and it is clearly essential that I understand the Wikimedia rules to avoid abortive work in the future. Can you direct me please to wherever I may read the rules that you have applied them here, so that I may adhere to them in the future. As a tangible example, please indicate the application to, say, the file "First_sod_Clutton.jpg" which was a reproduction of a page from the Illustrated London News of October 17 1863.

I am sure you do not intend to be abusive or impolite, but I am asking you a respectful question, and I would appreciate corresponding courtesy. I have spent a small amount of money and a considerable amount of time, assembling, amongst others, the image I refer to which was published in the UK and the US on 17 October 1863. You have deleted the image and it is not unreasonable for me to ask to understand your reasoning for that. You have responded that I must "see" three extremely lengthy articles. The latter two seem to me to be inapplicable and the first does not seem to justify your action. Please be courteous and and explain the specific reason for your decision. I am sure you understand that many contributors to the Wikimedia project are not irresponsible adolescents and I request that you interact appropriately with us. A polite and proper response would be appreciated. Afterbrunel (talk) 19:41, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

If you have direct evidence that the image/s is/are free in both the UK and US, you can post an undeletion request at COM:UDEL and present that evidence. INeverCry 19:58, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

Wikibreak?

A wikibreak? Hopefully not for long... Trijnstel_talk 13:39, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Nah, just a couple days to relax. BTW, the mass rollback is a one-click tool, with no prompt. It rolls back about 30 edits per minute. Be careful if you're rolling back more than 100 edits, though, because the tool opens a new window for each page it does a rollback on, so might crash a slower/older computer. INeverCry 02:03, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Dercumsdiseaseandresearch

I believe that Ohnoitsjamie and I were mistaken about Dercumsdiseaseandresearch. I don't believe that Dercumsdiseaseandresearch is Kelieane / Dercumsawareness / MikeCarlos. They're promoting different ribbons. Dercumsdiseaseandresearch probably should be unblocked (along with, if I'm guessing correctly, the 67.198.74.197 address you've blocked). You should ask Ohnoitsjamie to undo the block at enwiki. I believe that Ohnoitsjamie didn't take a good look at the ribbons and made the same assumption that I made. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 20:43, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Deleted file Giant_Hula_Half.jpg

Hi. I wonder if you will be able to help me understand the reason this image was deleted from Wikimedia Commons. The reason I am writing is that I try to maintain the Wikipedia page for Ashrita Furman, who holds the most Guinness records. The photo illustrates one of Mr. Furman's records.

The photographer, Bipin Larkin, donated this photo and expressly agreed to its submission to Wikimedia Commons.

When you revised the page for Ashrita Furman and deleted this photo from his article, you mentioned that the image also appears on a website called thelongestlistofthelongeststuffatthelongestdomainnameatlonglast.com. This leaves me in a somewhat difficult position, as they were never given or asked for permission to use this photo. So it is a bit of a Catch-22 that their use is being cited as a reason to remove the image.

I would be grateful if you could help me understand the reasoning behind the deletion and perhaps suggest what steps I could take to reinstate it.

Sorry to hear you're having health problems. I've been confined to a wheelchair due to paralysis since 2001, so perhaps I share some of your pain.

Thanks a lot,

Dhruva Hein dhruva.hein@gmail.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by Northstar7 (talk • contribs) 15:34, February 18, 2014‎ (UTC)

The issue is that the image appeared on that site before being uploaded here. See Commons:Deletion requests/File:Giant Hula half.jpg. In order to host it here, we would need COM:OTRS permission from the copyright holder. Another alternative might be uploading an original copy of the image in high resolution and with COM:EXIF.

As for health problems, I've suffered quite a lot over the years, but I keep going as best I can. I guess it's a bit better than the alternative. I wish you the best with your own challenges. INeverCry 02:05, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Need some advice/help, please--again...

This user continues to upload files which are questionable re: their copyright status. About a month ago, you brought the person's uploads up for mass DR. This file was one of them File:Sam 'n' henry.gif but it had a slightly different name: File:Sam n henry.gif. The book was printed in 1926 en:File:Samhenry.gif. I did a "fix" of the file last time but I have no idea where the image was taken from. What I'm seeing in the uploads look to be images taken from websites and licensed as PD-Pre-1923, which isn't the case with the Sam 'n' Henry book, not the case with File:Texaco Star Theatre Allens Alley.jpg this one (circa 1930s to 1940s) and may not be the case with others. I think the person is just trying to get images online for whatever he/she might be editing at en:WP, but somehow needs to understand that you can't just pick a license out of the air and go with it. I'd like to see the person master the copyright tags because he/she does have some interesting items to share. Thanks in advance for help, We hope (talk) 22:47, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

I've DR'd about 30 of them: Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Enter1your1information1below. I've also warned the user. It seems to me that if you're uploading something under a pre-1923 license, anybody would know the image has to have been published before 1923. I'm not sure how else to tell someone about such a simple, straight-forward requirement, especially after all the deletions of their previous uploads. You'd think if they cared they'd've fixed the problem by now. INeverCry 02:05, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! Too bad we don't have a template that says "Stop uploading for a minute and listen!" I don't mind fixing things if I can, but it seems to be never ending because the user just keeps on uploading and slapping the Pre-1923 license on all of it. We hope (talk) 02:14, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

IP range unblock

Hi INeverCry; I took the liberty to unblock an IP range that you blocked back in December.

Your block for 12.197.0.0/16 was supposed to expire on February 26, but I unblocked it today to allow an English Wikipedia user to create a local account (they were prevented from doing so by your block, and I couldn't create an account for them because they already had the SUL account). If you're ever have to block that range again, I think it would be nice to give IP block exempt rights to Mathscienced. Thanks, and have a great day. odder (talk) 16:46, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. That's the range of a cross-wiki LTA sockmaster who was trolling one of our fellow admins, among other activities. I'll keep an eye on it. INeverCry 17:06, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi.

English Wikipedia needs a copy of the recently deleted File:Windows Store logo and wordmark (green).png. (Hopefully, I can slap a fair-use rationale on it.) Could you please arrange that? (It's a shame these files are uploaded here by mistake and there is no way to tell that straightaway.)

Best regards,

Thank you. I know I make mistakes and have made a few in the past months working on deletions.

Ellin Beltz (talk) 05:35, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Mistakes are unavoidable when you do a large volume of work. I've made my share. Don't worry too much about it or be too careful, especially with deletions. I've done 150000+ deletions, working relatively quickly, and as carefully as I could without stifling myself, and I've had very few complaints and mistakes considering the huge numbers. Most complaints come from difficult DRs, rather than simple ones of course.

As for mistakes, when I was an admin on en.wiki, I once batch deleted 200+ live article talkpages with Twinkle, some from very visible articles, thinking I was deleting orphaned talkpages from a bot-created list. Luckily I realized it had been the wrong list right away, and was able to do a batch restore. Mistakes happen: you fix them and...repeat them! No wait, learn from them...I meant learn from them.

Thank you for deletion Romanian CoA file redirects and one more request.

Thank you for deleting the file redirects of some historical Romanian towns and regions coat of arms. There is one more file in the same category: File:Interbelic Durustor County CoA.png. This file was some time ago moved at because the name Durustor is wrong. The corect name of the interbelic county is Durostor. I had a small conflict with one of the administrators about the deletion of the redirect with the wrong name. I'd like to ask you to also delete this redirect: File:Interbelic Durustor County CoA.png. Thank you again. Musichistory2009.

Copyright violations

Hello,

I think there is some misunderstanding, I have not uploaded any copyrighted material here. In image description I have provided source as well as license of particular file — Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎Vishal1811 (talk • contribs)

You can't upload images from copyrighted sources unless you have COM:OTRS permission from the copyright holder. For instance, your file File:Master headshot 2013.jpg and others came from http://sandraluesse.com/gallery/, which is clearly marked © 2013 Sandra Luesse All rights reserved. We would need Sandra Luesse to email permission to OTRS. INeverCry 15:40, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)The site actually has a notice for cc-by-4.0 (http://sandraluesse.com/imagelicense-txt/). Although User:Jespinos seems to think this was in error, I probably would accept it. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 02:17, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

I wish the uploader would have given that link upon uploading, rather than the ARR gallery link. The mix of the old 2013 ARR and the new 2014 CC might be taken to show some confusion, but I don't object to restorations if the licensing is considered to be acceptable. I won't fight too hard to keep images of an attractive woman off of Commons. ;) The original license the uploader gave would have to adjusted from 3.0 to 4.0. INeverCry 03:33, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

I think that Magog the Ogre has misinterpreted my words very likely due to my intermediate level of English. In any case, the important thing is that I still think the images may have copyright problems. Jespinos (talk) 18:21, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

The first image you link was deleted because it had previously been published at http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2013/07/the-history-of-future-folk.html. The other concerns are the similar subject matter and multiple camera model use as per EXIF. Did the uploader actually hold the camera/s and take all of these images? Is he the copyright holder? If so, I would suggest he send an email to COM:OTRS giving details and evidence so that this can be sorted out. INeverCry 20:07, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
