Hi INeverCry,

Thank you so much! I hope to contribute better with that tool in my hands. I will keep in mind the instructions that you gave me.

Deleted File:Tsugaru Testsudo Stove Train.jpg & File:Nakadomari-Machi.jpg

Hello,

I recently added these files to the Nakadomari, Aomori page and received notice that they might be a copyright violation and could be deleted. I posted on the talk section for both photos that I am the creator and owner and the blog they are featured on is a past blog I contributed to. This morning I found them deleted with no further messages or guidance. What steps do I need to take to allow my photos to be used and stored on Wikipedia commons? Thank you.

TheoryJ (talk) 17:02, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

The blog publishing was the concern. I'm comfortable taking you at your word that these are your own works, especially considering the size and metadata. I've restored them. INeverCry (talk) 22:59, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

File:MiaoGanJie (缪淦杰) dans une position typique du Baji Quan (1936).jpg

Hi there,

I am a bit new to Wikipedia, and puzzled about the copyright issues about illustrations. I have uploaded the "File:MiaoGanJie (缪淦杰) dans une position typique du Baji Quan (1936).jpg" that was just deleted. This picture was take and published in 1933 in China, in a booklet published by the "ShangHai Litterary Publishing House - 上海文业书局 ". The publishing company was closed before 1940 and there is no known inheritor of Mr Miao Ganjie who is represented in this picture. Beside, since copyright in China is only valid for 50 years, there is no reason why this picture should not be public domain now. Other articles on chinese martial arts have similar picture of known practitionners dating from the same era (Yang CHenFu, Sun LuTang), what would make this picture different from others ? I thank you in advance for providing me any help about this issue... — Preceding unsigned comment added by KaimenBaji (talk • contribs) 06:16, 03 October 2016 (UTC)

File:Howard Wolf.jpg

Hello! I recently uploaded a photo you removed: Howard_Wolf.jpg . I happen to know the owner sent an email to permissions releasing rights to the photo. Also, I wasn't given 30 days. What happened?

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tuneytommy (talk • contribs) 13:45, 03 October 2016 (UTC)

This had no license at all. If it did, you would've had the 30 days for OTRS to confirm the license. Files can't stay on Commons for more than a week without a license. As it is, we have to wait for OTRS to indicate which license will be used and confirm the release. INeverCry (talk) 22:49, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Copyvio files

All files uploaded by this user are copyvios. e.g. the source of this file clearly states that "Copyright © 2012 ivy-Baron All Rights Reserved.". Still the user wrongly tagged it in the public domain. Same is the case with his other uploaded files. In fact, he also removed all of the copyvios tags from the files. - NitinMlk (talk) 21:08, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Copyvio files

I noticed that as per the discussion Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by PubuduGk119 that all the images were to be deleted however it would appear that either some were missed or were re-uploaded by User:PubuduGk119. Rather than go through and post deletion notices on each of them can they be done as a batch. Also it would appear that in order to circumvent being identified as a serial poster of copyright material User:PubuduGk119 has created a sockpuppet User:Pubudualmeda, which has re-uploaded a stack of images which have all previously been deleted. Once again rather than post deletion notices on each is there a way to do them in a batch? Dan arndt (talk) 01:36, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Files uploaded by Xerxessenior

Hello, I object to this closure by you. I think the first two images have no problems at all. Commons is not a place to editorilse on other projects (COM:EVID clearly does not apply about them). The files were in use and quality does not matter. With all due respect, I also think that you have a clear conflict of interest to close this request as "Not done" since you were the admin who deleted the files at the first place. Thank you 4nn1l2 (talk) 17:40, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

About the Review of Some Photos Uploaded by User:Jin-gook

Hi. I found that a lot of photos of Korean people were uploaded to commons recently, and you reviewed some of these photos. But I found that these photo may violates copyright. Take this photo as an example, could you tell me where you can inform from the original link that this photo applies to its license, please? Plus, I can found a copyright notice from the bottom of the original link shows that it is copyrighted. If they are copyrighted, please delete all these photos that may infringe copyright. Thanks. --Techyan（Talk） 13:04, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

At the bottom right corner of the page is the Creative Commons icon that shows CC-BY-SA-4.0 when you drag your mouse pointer over it. Perhaps @-revi: can help clear this up if needed.

Using a friend's camera

I just saw that files by a user is nominated for deletion because the metadata shows that the photos are taken by others. However, the uploader argues that he owns the copy right and he has just used the cameras of friends for those photos. How can the issue be resolved. Thanks. --Mhhossein ^talk 05:30, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

• The topic is also raised at village pump/copy right. --Mhhossein ^talk 05:32, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

We require COM:EVID, which usually means OTRS permission. Anyone can come up with the story you mention. I've seen more than one serial copyvio uploader lie about the copyright of images any way they could think of. This is why we use COM:PRP in these situations. lNeverCry 05:41, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

And how if those authors mentioned in the metadata send their disclaimer emails to OTRS and verify that they don't hold the rights of the photo and had lend their camera to the claiming author? --Mhhossein ^talk 05:47, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

That's a question you would be better off asking an experienced OTRS member. They would know how a situation like this is handled, though they may not want to give away their methods publicly. I can only guess like you since I'm not an OTRS member. lNeverCry 05:51, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Problematic user

In spite of your final warning, the user yet again uploaded a copyvio image, claiming it as their own work. The higher/equivalent resolution version of that image has appeared at various sites in the last seven years or so, e.g. 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, etc.

In fact, the higher resolution version of that image is already uploaded here – File:Hannibal traverse le Rhône Henri Motte 1878.jpg. And the image is of the Second Punic War (of Europe), i.e. it's totally unrelated to the history of Khandayat (an Indian Caste). So, the user not only uploaded a copyvio image but also fabricated the history.

On a different note, the original pic might also be a copyvio, as it seems to be copyrighted to the Getty Images. - NitinMlk (talk) 22:27, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

He didn't properly attribute the image, but it's not a copyvio. Motte died in 1922, so the image is PD-ART/PD-old-70. Getty images can't claim copyright of a PD image, though they try to do so all the time. I've deleted the duplicate. If the above user uploads a straight-up copyvio, a block may be needed, but this particular image isn't enough. lNeverCry 22:39, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Bollywood Hungama files

Hello, I noticed that you deleted two files File:Ajaz Khan at Karim Morani's birthday bash.jpg and File:Ajaz Khan at Baba Siddique's Iftaar party.jpg marking them as copyright violations. But may I know how theses images are copyright violations. Mr. Smart ℒION ⋠☎️I👨‍👩‍⋡ 05:35, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

For File:Ajaz Khan at Karim Morani's birthday bash.jpg, the source link http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/celebritymicro/images/id/87642/category/parties/type/view/imageid/17983214/ is a 404 error, so it can't be reviewed. For File:Ajaz Khan at Baba Siddique's Iftaar party.jpg, the source http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/bh-301-redirects.php?type=photos&celebid=87642&cat=parties&imageid=20169212 is also a 404 error, so it can't be reviewed either. INeverCry (talk) 16:41, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

I knew it that I will get this reply! Actually the problematic Bollywood Hungama administrators had changed the layout of their website on 21 September 2016, which led to the deletion/automatic removal of some images from their own website uploaded before 21 September 2016. Take this example File:Neha Dhupia at the launch of Costa's 100 store 08.jpg. This file was been reviewed. This means that this image was available on their website before 21 September 2016 and got deleted/autotically removed after 21 September 2016, when BH changed their website. Just search "File:Ajaz Khan at Karim Morani's birthday bash.jpg" on Google. You will find an image with this title containing Bollywood Hungama watermark, which you will get to know that the image WAS available on their website before 21 September 2016. Do the same searching for "File:Ajaz Khan at Baba Siddique's Iftaar party.jpg", PLEASE!!! Mr. Smart ℒION ⋠☎️I👨‍👩‍⋡ 17:29, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

You could search the above links at https://archive.org/web/, and see if they were archived, or you could find watermarked versions of the same size as the deleted files above. I'm busy with a project over at en.wiki right now, and I'd like to get it done this afternoon. INeverCry (talk) 21:31, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

I have seen the images at Way Back Machine but they were not archived at the time when uploaded on Commons. And I've explained you earlier also that I have already searched on watermarked version of the same size as the deleted files above. Just search "Ajaz Khan at Karim Morani's birthday bash bollywood hungama" on Google and you will find a link titled "Shah Rukh Khan, Yo Yo Honey Singh, Sushant Singh Rajput & Kriti Sanon at Karim Morani's birthday bash", which is proofed by this fact that the image was 100% available when I uploaded them on Commons. Now because Bollywood Hungama has changed their website, so the link and images in it have been removed/automatically removed from the website showing "No page found". Another example, just see User talk:NIKE 01. This user's talk page is full of files that have been deleted by you yesterday, which means that the images were available on their website before 21 September 2016. Take another example of User talk:Moheen Reeyad. Many files have been marked as "No permission". Why would he make such a mistake when he is an image reviewer. And it's common sense why would three different people give broken links to files. And my two deleted files are even Bollywood Hungama watermarked which is proofed that I'd uploaded them from only Bollywood Hungama website and from no where else. Please try to understand. Why should we suffer when it's the problem of Bollywood Hungama? See Commons:Deletion requests/File:Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover grace IIFA 2016 at Madrid.jpg, in which I've voted "Delete" to my uploaded file as I know that events outside India are not allowed to upload on Commons and I understand my mistake. But I'm not satisfied with the deletion of my two files because it's not my problem but it's Bollywood Humgama problem. Our hard work shouldn't be destroyed because of Bollywood Hungama. Mr. Smart ℒION ⋠☎️I👨‍👩‍⋡ 06:23, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

I'm not associated with Bollywood Hungama, so I don't why they would make you suffer. In any event it's not my fault, and I can't review a guess: I need a source that works. I won't put my name to anything less. You might have more luck with COM:UDEL. I'm one of the busiest admins on any project, so I don't have much time to spare on searching for sources.

As regards user rights, I've seen a Long Term Abuse sockpuppet MyCanon trick Commons into giving them image reviewer, file mover, patroller and rollbacker. I've seen Image Reviewers commit copyfraud on purpose using the Image Reviewer right to do it and hide it. You never know what people will and won't do. INeverCry (talk) 06:44, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Old Soviet photos

Hi INC,

Could you please take a look at User talk:Sealle#Closing DR-requests of locomotive pictures from the 1930s and, e.g., at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Parovoz FD20-2.jpg? I'm afraid that such an approach can jeopardize thousands of files. Thanks, Sealle (talk) 20:59, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Sealle. Something that affects this many files is probably better off being discussed at COM:VP/C. INeverCry (talk) 21:17, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Well, I'd prefer having your opinion rather than this link... Sealle (talk) 22:04, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

My personal opinion in cases like this is that people should stop hunting for obscure and at best questionable copyright violations, and focus on the tens of thousands of obvious copyright violations we have on Commons, especially in Category:Media needing categories. With the above, the 50 years bit works for me. Proving that you've researched looking for an author is asking too much IMO. We have so many files that have unknown authors (hundreds of thousands, if not a million or more), a ridiculous amount of time would be required to research their authorship to any reasonable level of consistency. My recommendation of VP/C is meant to slow down DRs of this material and also come out with a decision on how to handle them that carries the weight of consensus. Single opinions on copyright issues aren't worth much generally.

Thanks again for handling LouisPhilippe at ru.wiki BTW. I just blocked and reported his latest sock a little earlier. lNeverCry 23:23, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Tone-on-tone.jpg

INeverCry, this image was uploaded as a part of the Commons:Photo challenge, and the deletion is complicating the voting process. Sorry I missed it while it was still open, but I can not find in Commons:Deletion policy any valid reason for granting this DR. I guess it would have to be the out of scope argument, but the image is actually quite good and in use as a part of a challenge. Can we undelete it? --Jarekt (talk) 01:30, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

It hurts my eyes to look at the middle of that flower. I don't know what happened, but whoa! The image is terribly blurry and noisy, and there are some strange colors on the leaves. My deletion was based on COM:EDUSE/Commons:Project scope#Examples (the last example: Files that add nothing educationally distinct to the collection of images we already hold covering the same subject, especially if they are of poor or mediocre quality). We have better shots of the flower in Category:Dasiphora fruticosa; the spider is unidentified, but it's also very blurred/noisy. I object to restoring it on these grounds. You'll have to take it to COM:UDEL. We need reasonable-quality images here, and this isn't one IMHO. lNeverCry 03:16, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Sochi 2014 logos

Hi. Perhaps I should have been a little more explicit with these files. Yes I know it is text, and yes, I'm 100% opposed to the deletion of mere text. But the reason for deletion was taken by the WMF legal department. As referred in the deletion comment of File:Sochi logo for the 2014 Winter Olympics.svg, the legal department decided to not host this file. Please contact User:NuclearWarfare or another OTRS member for further details. Tbhotch™ 22:29, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

@Tbhotch: If there's an OTRS ticket affecting multiple files that need to be deleted, DRs filed by a non-OTRS member aren't the way to go.

Hi, INeverCry. You deleted on 3rd of October the first version of the file per request. Which request? I am not sure, that the request was justified, because the version was just kept after DR. Taivo (talk) 07:51, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

Deleted file: jolene.png

Hi, I used the image file from Dami Im's Jolene (acoustic) cover from this source https://play.google.com/store/music/album/Dami_Im_Jolene_Acoustic?id=Bol2xf3n4yntguxfeoizhiifknu.

The reason I use this file photo is to serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the work in question.

Music infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which is greatly enhanced than by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox adjacent to the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the artist's providing graphic design services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public.

Please undelete the image.

Thanks,

(talk page stalker) Rwphan, you’re making a case of fair use for this copyrighted photo. It needs to be uploaded and kept in the relevant project (which is, as you don’t even care to mention it, the English Wikipedia).

Notice of upload removal

Dear INeverCry:

The Wikimedia Foundation (“Wikimedia”) has taken down content that you posted at File:Celtic tree (18968258040).jpg due to Wikimedia’s receipt of a validly formulated notice that your posted content was infringing an existing copyright. When someone sends us a validly formulated notice of copyright infringement, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) Section (c)(1)(C) requires Wikimedia to take the content down, and to notify you that we have removed that content. This notice, by itself, does not mean that the party requesting that the content be taken down are suing you. The party requesting the take down might only be interested in removing the content from our site.

Please note that the Office of General Counsel has decided that a "strike" is not appropriate in this instance because of mitigating circumstances (e.g., there is a clear lack of willfulness and a mistaken belief of compliance).

What Can You Do?

You are not obligated to take any action. However, if you feel that your content does not infringe upon any copyrights, you may contest the take down request by submitting a ‘counter notice’ to Wikimedia. Before doing so, you should understand your legal position, and you may wish to consult with an attorney. If you choose to submit a counter notice, the alleged copyright holder can either refuse to contest the counter notice or decide to file a lawsuit against you to restrain Wikimedia from re-posting the content. Please note that Wikimedia will not be a party to any legal action that arises from you sending a counter notice, and that Wikimedia is unable to provide you with legal advice.

Filing a Counter Notice

If you choose to submit a counter notice, you must send a letter asking Wikimedia to restore your content to legal@wikimedia.org, or to our service processor at the following address: Wikimedia Foundation, c/o CT Corporation System, 818 West Seventh Street, Los Angeles, California, 90017. The letter must comply with DMCA standards, set out in Section (g)(3)(A-D), and must contain the following:

• A link to where the content was before we took it down and a description of the material that was removed;
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;
• Your name, address, and phone number;
• If your address is in the United States, a statement that says “I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district where my address is located, and I will accept service of process from the person who complained about the content I posted”; alternatively, if your address is outside the United States, a statement that says “I agree to accept service of process in any jurisdiction where the Wikimedia Foundation can be found, and I will accept service of process from the person who complained about the content I posted”; and finally,
• Your physical or electronic signature.

Pursuant to the DMCA, Wikimedia must inform the alleged copyright holder that you sent us a counter notice, and give the alleged copyright holder a copy of the counter notice. The alleged copyright holder will then have fourteen (14) business days to file a lawsuit against you to restrain Wikimedia from reposting the content. If Wikimedia does not receive proper notification that the alleged copyright holder has initiated such a lawsuit against you, we will repost your content within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days.

Miscellaneous

As a matter of policy and under appropriate circumstances, Wikimedia will block the accounts of repeat infringers as provided by Section 512(i)(1)(A) of the DMCA.

If you would like to learn more about Wikimedia’s policies, please refer to the Wikimedia Terms of Use, available at Terms of use, and the Wikimedia Legal Policies, available at m:Legal/Legal_Policies. More information on DMCA compliance may also be found at:

• https://lumendatabase.org/topics/29
• https://www.eff.org/issues/dmca
• http://www.copyright.gov/onlinesp/

Wikimedia appreciates your support. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions regarding this notice.

Hi, and thanks for deleting those images uploaded by Каволо. He/she uploaded another one yesterday, and I'm wondering if it wants some attention. I'm still trying to learn what we do and don't accept here. The source is given as a Pinterest site, which I visited. That site refers to another, altesse.eu, which returns an error when I try to load it. So the only attribution is the assertion made by the Pinterest user that the image is Jeanne d'Albret. My question: Does it satisfy our criteria that the uploader simply provides the Pinterest url, without stating anything else in the file description?

Questionable photographs of (relatively) famous personalities

Hi there,

Thanks for closing this deletion request.

I wondered what your opinion was on this image by the same uploader/photographer, as it appears to fall into a similar- but not identical- category, both legally and in terms of whether we should be keeping this sort of thing on Commons.

It was obviously taken at a red carpet (i.e. very public) event, but it doesn't look like it was consensually posed, and even if it's legal, is this what we're looking for here?

Ubcule (talk) 18:08, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

If you have the time (*and* the inclination!), I'd also appreciate your opinion on whether the images nominated in this deletion request should remain on Commons or whether they're out-of-scope promotional material.

(There were permissions issues raised in previous requests, but this one is for entirely different reasons.) Ubcule (talk) 18:29, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

@Ubcule: In the first case, you have a problem user who's been blocked previously and now stripped of his user rights for behavioral issues. I've been deleting his blurry car images for half a decade now. The one I deleted above was problematic from a privacy standpoint and unusable for anything educational anyways. The second is in more of a public place and it's the only image we have of a notable person. It sucks, but I think we can wait to try and find a better alt before deleting it. I honestly suspect that this guy uploads horrid quality photos on purpose, why, I don't know.

In the second case, you've got some plain COM:ADVERT. I won't comment at the DR, because I'd prefer to keep my ability to close it (if I can beat Jcb to it)... lNeverCry 20:46, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I understand why the aforementioned car (and celeb) uploader was banned from en.wikipedia; as for Commons, though, while there are some problems (and I understand your frustration), I still think he's operating within good faith... for what that's worth. I don't believe anyone would put that much effort into being so consistently mediocre for malicious reasons...! :-O

At any rate, the Quebecois celeb images seem to be worse (quality-wise) than the recent car ones. Unfortunately, while the car images seem to have had some of their worst tendencies knocked away over many years, it's quite clear that he's very resistant to improvement (and quality control), so I'm not holding my breath!

Thanks for your feedback on that second one too; that's what I thought. All the best! Ubcule (talk) 22:49, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

File:Peregrine falcon in Bükk National Park, Bélapátfalva, 2016 Hungary.jpg

Hi,

My name is Andras Malatinszky; I'm one of the sysops on huwiki. We have a user who is complaining about your deletion yesterday of the picture at File:Peregrine falcon in Bükk National Park, Bélapátfalva, 2016 Hungary.jpg. I think he tried to make his point to the nominator but his English is not very good, and the nominator just reverted his comment instead of responding.

Anyway, Globetrotter19's point is that the subject of the picture (an open-air sign showing the image of a peregrine falcon) is PD under Hungary's freedom of panorama (FOP) rules. Under Hungarian law objects permanently installed in the open are not subject to copyright, so if Globetrotter19's description of his picture is correct, there would be no copyvio involved.

I haven't seen the image you deleted, but if the user's description is correct, restoring the image may be the right way to go. (By the way, he says he has uploaded "about a hundred" similar pics, so this is not a trivial question.)

Please take a look and let me know (you can respond right here, I'll watch this page) what you find.

Thanks,

Andras

--Malatinszky (talk) 16:42, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

I usually deal with Russian and Ukrainian FoP, so Hungary FoP is a bit new for me. Commons:Freedom of panorama#Hungary mentions "fine art, architectural or applied art" as being OK in a public space, but it doesn't directly mention 2D works like this falcon photograph. It looks like our entry could be more clear and comprehensive, since the English translation of the Hungarian FoP laws mentions photographs directly. The term "applied art" isn't something you run into very often in English. I had to look it up to be sure of the definition. I've restored the above file and fixed the Hungarian description so that it displays correctly. lNeverCry 19:41, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

I just get a sense that some people want to derail the discussion into an emotional mess that in the end is harmful to commons and really everyone involved.

To this end I would suggest taking a break from admin tools for the time being. If also possible, try not to reply to every remark immediately. I have been there when there were people trying to get under my skin. In my case it helped me to think about my reply and give an hour or two between their reply and mine. This is merely a friendly suggestion I hope you will genuinely consider.

I have unblocked PetarM but I want you to know that I didn’t do this to punish you but I did it because I don’t want you to be dragged into a situation that can harm you. After a good night’s rest you will probably agree with me that you should have handled the situation in a different way instead of placing a new block and attacking people.

I am not going to ask you to resign or anything like that but I am going to advise you to have some fun and a good time in the real world. I know how addictive Wikimedia projects can be and it does happen often that a Wiki project keeps me up till 3 AM but there is so much more. Like having a pizza or a walk in the park. Or reading a good book.

I always value you as an administrator but what can we do to help you? You don’t have to do it alone. This goes for dealing with tricky and complex cases involving users but also regarding everyday maintains. Natuur12 (talk) 13:27, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Why is it hosted under fair use at en:File:Vok-logo.png? We don't allow fair use at Commons (COM:FU). lNeverCry 23:57, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

What do you mean? I did not use fair use. I have created this SVG file especially to replace Vok-logo.png at Enwiki. Oppashi (talk) 00:07, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

My basic question is why was it considered that fair use was appropriate if the file is available under a free license? COM:UDEL may be a better place to bring this up, especially considering the fair use image at Wikipedia. lNeverCry 00:13, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Regarding: Commons:Deletion requests/File:EJPIC2.jpg

Can you pleas have another look at Commons:Deletion requests/File:EJPIC2.jpg? The picture was uploaded, and I nominated it for deletion. It was quickly deleted. Now it is added again under the same file name. I added a new request for deletion, but I am worried that it may not be seen, as the new nomination landed on the old "closed" page.

Deletion of Sherrie Palm photo

File:Original Sherrie palm.png [edit] Appears to be previously published http://ladygodivaprogram.com/blog/entry/give-back-and-spread-joy-with-lady-godiva-program-finalists Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:45, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

INeverCry - This photo was used before. I did not know that. New to Wiki. I asked Sherrie Palm for a photo and this is the one she sent me. Do I need to ask her for another photo? I would like to use this one if possible. My Wiki article is still in the Sandbox stage. Thank you for your time. - Mbpippen — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mbpippen (talk • contribs) 17:54, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

With photos that have been published elsewhere before being uploaded to Commons, we require permission from the copyright holder via the OTRS process. This particular photo is a studio photograph taken by a professional photographer, so that photographer would have to provide permission for a free license under OTRS. The same would be true of pretty much any photo of Sherrie Palm not taken directly by her through a timer or as a hand-held selfie. I would suggest a better quality version of this particular portrait be asked for if this is what you're going with. The above image is barely 1mp (534 × 804 - 284,731 bytes), and is visibly very unsharp. If you've got to go through OTRS, you might as well come up with something a bit higher quality if at all possible. lNeverCry 19:59, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your really quick reply. I asked Sherrie about the photo - her reply: "It is an image I PAID to have taken, it is my property." ... so before I reply back...thought I would ask, if she paid for the photo and then gave it to me, would I not be the owner? sorry I am new...lots to learn...Mary P Mbpippen (talk) 22:55, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

If the photo is a work for hire, Sherrie Palm would still have to provide permission via email through our OTRS system. It's a pretty easy process, but can take a week or more due to the volume of work they do. lNeverCry 23:11, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Removing cats in my uploads

Hi INeverCry, I don't understand why you removed the cat Upload with upload Wizard in some of my uploads from Roermond. Dqfn13 (talk) 12:16, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

@Dqfn13: See Commons:Categories for discussion/2016/08/Category:Uploaded with UploadWizard. The category is going to be phased out and then deleted. All files will eventually be removed, mostly by bots.

New Rafa sock

Hi. I don't know if you remember, but last month you said it might be easier if I reported copyvios from Rafa Figueiredo socks to you directly.

File:Parasiliti di Para.jpg

Dear INeverCry, you have deleted the picture Parasiliti di Para.jpg. I am the owner of this picture which I made by myself in 2014. I used it already before on my website araucanie.com. I explained this already on the File talk: Parasiliti di Para.jpg, but the picture has nevertheless been deleted. I asked already the undeletion and hope that you can accept it. (Kppcom (talk) 23:03, 27 October 2016 (UTC))

This was deleted because it's displayed at http://www.araucanie.com/araucaniaesp/ with no free license. In order to host it here on Commons, you would have to display a free license at http://www.araucanie.com/araucaniaesp/ or email confirmation of the free license to OTRS. lNeverCry 01:04, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your answer dear INeverCry. I am not so familiar with all the wiki so it's quite difficult to make the right things. I added the example of the html file to the webpage, but I dont know if this is sufficient. I also send an email confirming free license to OTRS but I read that this is not accepted for websites. Can you please help me and tell me if what I have done is sufficient. Kind regards (10:11, 28 October 2016 (UTC))(Kppcom (talk) 10:12, 28 October 2016 (UTC))

file:Sleeve of Making Movies.svg

Hello, I wonder why it has been deleted. It doesn't trespass the threshold of originality being only a blue stripe on a red square... For sure I wouldn't have uploaded it if it were any more original than that. -- SERGIO ^{(aka the Blackcat)} 08:23, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

@Blackcat: I think this was a case of 'someone else' making a change (adding {{Non-free album cover}}) that flagged the image for speedy deletion... the work itself seems pretty obviously {{PD-ineligible}} to me... the 'curve' is just a thumbhole (a utilitarian design feature of a CD sleeve) and the short phrases are not copyrightable. Revent^talk 12:29, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

I watched file's history being an admin, and noticed it wasn't flagged as such but suddenly deleted. For sure INeverCry had a good reason, but I am curious to know it. Yes I know that the curve is a thumbhole :-) I have the original record, a 33 RPM with red sleeve, and in some countries like Italy that sleeve it was shorter than the record's inner cover; in other countries it is like that, where the blue inner cover is "replicated" on the sleeve to make it appear like it protrudes out of. -- SERGIO ^{(aka the Blackcat)} 12:38, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
