File:Andrzej_Skwirczyński.jpg

Hello, you've deleted this jpg. I'm his son and I've rights to this photo. I edited it by myself. I just added another: File:AndrzejSkwirczyński.jpg. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dolunay (talk • contribs) 10:44, November 18, 2012‎ (UTC)

Could you update the File:Colore della segnaletica autostradale.svg map?

The motorway signs in Azerbaijan are green and in that file Azerbaijan needs to be colored in green accordingly.

Here is the official source: http://www.dyp.gov.az/?/az/roadsign/7/

You must've asked me by accident; I've never edited an SVG in my life. Anonmoos looks like a much more likely helper, so I'm glad you asked there as well. INeverCry 00:49, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

deletion while in use

I get the renaming of (uexDAMMm), but you cannot delete the original name while it is in use. That caused a disruption. -DePiep (talk) 12:19, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi INeverCry!

I am assuming that you only deleted the file because of the 30 day thing rather than OTRS pending not yet responded to. Am I correct or did OTRS respond? --Marshallsumter (talk) 11:28, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

I deleted it because of the lack of permission. INeverCry 19:13, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Deletion of images

You recently deleted some of my uploaded images citing copyright infringements. The images were tagged stating that the IDF had granted permission for their use under an appropriate licence. This was after I sent a copy of this permission by email and it was registered. (I can send it to you too if you want) Can you explain why they were then deleted? AnkhMorpork (talk) 12:30, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

The file File:Children under fire.jpg has been restored and re-deleted by another admin (User:Matanya). The file File:Ashkelon.jpg was deleted for having a non-commercial license. Ask Matanya about these, as he's an OTRS member, or ask at the OTRS noticeboard. INeverCry 19:12, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Deleted images

Full message from Lasse Espe

Hi, you've deleted several images that I've uploaded (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Lasse_Espe) on behalf of comic book artists that I work for (Martin Kellerman, Lina Neidestam, Børge Lund and Nils Axle Kanten). On November 6th I sent permissions for the images in a pdf attachment called Wiki_approvals.pdf, and I was under the impression that everything was OK. So I wonder why the images have been deleted. Can you please inform me, or better yet, make it right if an error has been made?

Do I need to resend the permissions? I never received an answer from permissions-commons@wikimedia.org.

Regards,

Lasse Espe, Strand Comics

Is everything OK then? Hi Lasse,

at least to me, but I am not on OTRS, it looks o.k. Actually, you don't need 1 permission form for each of several works from the same author, you can put them together into 1 permission form. But that's just for convenience.

Your should mail the pdf, eventually including our correspondence, to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org Mails to this address are treated sort of confidentially, content will not be published and can only be accessed by OTRS volunteers.

In einer eMail vom 06.11.2012 08:25:33 Westeuropäische Normalzeit schreibt lasse@strandcomics.no: Hi, I've received notification of missing permission information for "Rocky&edith front cover.jpg": "A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license."

The file is the property of comic book artist Martin Kellerman, who is represented by Strand Comics, the company I work for: http://www.strandcomics.no/. We've been given the permission and duty to handle all his material and properties, for the purposes of promotion as well as for distribution and accommodation of newspapers and publishing houses that we have made publishing deals with on his behalf. To acquire written permission from him for each and every file that I upload to Wikimedia Commons would defy the purpose of the agreement Strand Comics have with Kellerman, since our job is to take care of all these things so that he doesn't have to spend any time on it. So please let me know if there is any way we can satisfy the needs for permission without having to acquire written permission for each and every file. Can I, for instance e-mail copies of the agreements of representation we have with the copyright holders so that you indeed see that I have the authority to uplo ad these files? Hi Lasse, this is not about whether I believe you (which I do in this case) or not, it's the required procedure per our policy. If you are sure to have the full authorization from Mr. Kellerman, then your company can issue the permission. Please go to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:OTRS where you will find an explanation of the process and at "Declaration of consent for all enquiries" an appropriately worded template for the permission. You need to list all Kellerman-works in it, add the name of the choosen free license and then ask the legally responsible/authorized person in your company to date and sign it. The permission will then checked by an OTRS-volunteer, who will either ask for more information or issue a permission-"ticket" which will be put on all related file pages.

Have you asked an OTRS member? Sometimes it takes weeks to get OTRS permission processed. You can also ask about them at the OTRS noticeboard. Once you've got a ticket#, myself, Túrelio, or another admin can restore them. INeverCry 22:54, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Redirect deletion

Hi, when you delete images, you should also delete redirects to them (e.g. File:Oedipus; S. Batič, 1997, Ljubljana.jpg; also the redirect File:Ljubljana sculpture (2).jpg‎‎) should be deleted. Thanks. --Eleassar ^(t/p) 09:31, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Deletion error

I know it's become fashionable to attack anything related to Gibraltar. However, you made a mistake in deleting File:Panorama from Green's Lodge Battery.png. That photo was correctly licensed under CC-SA-3.0. The permission is clearly given by Jim Crone on the main page of DiscoverGibraltar.com. Please undelete the image and return it to the original article, Green's Lodge Battery. ACP2011 (talk) 22:37, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

and thank you fr the correction. Can you offer some advice? We are losing files like File:Water outflow gibraltar.jpg and we see them disappear via our watchlist of en:wikipedia but we then have to go to commons and trace who loaded the fie and why it was deleted. We then have to apologise for not spotting that it was under threat of deletion for some time. Is there a way of watching a whole category on commons? Is there a quick way of requesting undeletion? Your advice would be appreciated. How do I find Water_outflow_gibraltar.jpg after it has been deleted? Victuallers (talk) 09:55, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Watching a category only shows changes to the category page itself, so you'd have to watch individual files. I've never had cause to want to watch all the files in a category, and so I don't know what the easiest way of adding them to your watchlist, and updating your watchlist as new files are added would be. You might want to ask about this at the the Commons:Help desk. As for deleted images, you can still search for the file and then click on the redlink result to see the deletion reason. I've linked the above file, which was deleted for being all rights reserved on Flickr. To request undeletion, you can post at Commons:Undeletion requests/Current requests. We usually get these taken care of within a day or two. INeverCry 18:34, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. Sound advice. I can see that the Fickr license is suspicious, but could be innocent too. At least now with your advice I know that undeletion may be the best available route, even if it is not ideal. thx INC. Victuallers (talk) 08:18, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

File:BAL Penn station.png

Would you please restore File:BAL Penn station.png? It was tagged in error. The subject is the Baltimore Penn Station. It is a panoramic view of the building. The inclusion of the statue is incidental. The image would essentially look quite similar if the statue was removed. I refer you to:

The building is a historical landmark and the photo should be preserved. I think this falls under copyright paranoia. It would be impossible to have any panoramic pictures of the building that didn't include the sculpture. If you disagree, I ask that you restore the image and tag it so it goes through a full discussion here: Category:United States FOP cases/pending. Thanks. Evrik (talk) 07:08, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

vor dieser Löschung meinen Hinweis in der Löschdiskussion berücksichtigt? Gruß, --4028mdk09 (talk) 03:23, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

German FOP applies to "public ways, streets or places (e.g. squares, plazas)" that are "dedicated to the public and publicly-accessible." Graveyards are mentioned, but I'm not sure about enclosed funeral chapels. Are these really dedicated to the public? If funeral services are held there, does the place need to be reserved by the party of the deceased? Also, if funeral services are held there, then people probably aren't allowed to walk through and view the place during services. I don't think a funeral chapel is "dedicated to the public." I don't know how funeral services are handled in Germany though, or in this particular location, so I could be wrong. You may want to post an undeletion request.

Re: and your communication to me.

The issue is both (a) simple and (b) complicated. (a) is that I've invested a lot of time and energy into Wikipedia (fact-checking and corrections, grammatical editing, adding references, updating biographical entries, fleshing out anatomy articles, etc.), while at the same time (b) not learning the basics of what types of files go where, or how to communicate with other Wikipedians concerning meta-issues like whatever I did wrong with my user image on my own user page -- which I still don't understand.

Perhaps I need to check, step-by-step, into the fine points of (b) where they concern me. Or maybe I need more one-on-one guidance from an experienced editor. In any case, my health prevents me from attending closely to these matters right now. Does this make sense? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Erasistratus1 (talk • contribs) 16:58, November 26, 2012‎ (UTC)

I wouldn't worry too much about the nuts and bolts, as there's always someone around who can help with that. The issue with your pic is that you used a weblink (like http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Erasistratus1_WIKIPEDIA_Portrait.jpg) rather than a wikilink like [[File:Erasistratus1_WIKIPEDIA_Portrait.jpg]].

File renaming

Hello INC. Should this image be renamed? I see that you have done some such as File:Frédéric Brandon (1995).png. I had renamed several images like this. However, I noticed Commons:File renaming doesn't have any criterias of renaming short filename (but not misleading) and also this discussion. I was also approached by MGA73 for this--Morning ☼ (talk) 10:32, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

I think that file should be renamed. I renamed the Brandon file and several others like it because I agreed that they were ambiguous and misleading, and not solely because of their length. It's difficult to address this within policy, and the discussion you link to really doesn't say much about individual interpretation of what's misleading. It simply re-affirms that files shouldn't be renamed only because they're short. INeverCry 19:20, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi Brianna. I don't know what file you're referring to. You'll have to give me the name of it. Usually I would advise you to check out COM:OTRS. INeverCry 19:47, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello. This is the link to the page you deleted: File:Copyediting_Assignment.pdf When we were first notified that we didn't do our licensing agreement correctly, we did look at the website the bot showed us and we added a licensing template with all the information, making sure it looked like the original licensing template but it said we were still wrong. What does it mean when it asks that we need to put the licensing agreement in the description box? The original author gave us permission to use his assignment as our template long as we said it was Public Domain, which we did. Thank you for your time and your help.

Thank you for your help, INeverCry. We have updated the licensing information to PD-self. The original file by Awadewit was released into the Public Domain, with no restrictions.

French Panorama's

Hi, you recently removed a photo of a French statue of which the sculptor is still alive. Such an image is not freely licensable due to France not having a "Freedom of Panorama," which is why it was nominated for deletion. Now I wrote to the artist, he just hasn't replied yet (neither do I actually expect him to reply, but still, what more can I do?) but unfortunately the image was removed without further discussion (see http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Le_Defenseur_du_Temps.jpg) Now I read up on the French nuances of their Freedom of Panorama law, and it appears that if a work of art is "unavoidable" in an otherwise allowed picture of something else, then the picture itself is also allowed, even when protected artwork is visible. Underneath the statue is a sign that reads "the machine is out of order," which is a normal sign, unprotected by copyright. Therefore, I was thinking to re-upload the image, but just name it "photograph of the sign saying that the sculpture is out of order." That way, there's no problem with Freedom of Panorama. Since you're active in the picture maintenance community (you removed the previous one) I thought I'd ask you first. What do you think? (Unrelated: isn't not having freedom of panorama just weird? What could the intention of a law be if it blocks photos on wikipedia? You'd guess that artist would actually want to have their art on there. Also, it's visible to everybody walking on that square, anyway. Laws are so slow to adapt to reality, because I'm pretty sure that this was never the intention of the law.) Stijndon (talk) 09:08, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

If you're able to get OTRS permission from the author, the image could be restored. The "sign under the statue" idea probably isn't the way to go. As for FOP itself, I hope the laws are lightened or done away with in the future, but for now they have to be followed here on Commons. INeverCry 19:56, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Renaming Files

Hello! Thanks for giving me renaming rights. Before I started doing a bunch of renaming of files, I just wanted to make sure that I am doing it correctly. To correct the name of a photo on wiki, am I supposed to use the "Move & Replace" command or just the plain "Move" command. Also, will the "Move & Replace" command automatically correct any links from within Wikipedia articles to the new name of the photo or will I still need to manually do that. Thank you so much!

Dobie80 (talk) 20:39, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Lerche coat of arms.tiff

Hello, INeverCry, I am sorry that I uploaded this file and thereby violated the copyright law. I assumed (never assume, always check!) that the coat of arms was from 1660, as stated in the scan I received of 'parts of' the Danmarks adels årbog 1934. The coat of arms probably does date from that year, when Lerche received his "patent", but the illustration in the book was by Britze, I now understand. Hm... this probably was not of much interest to you. I just felt like writing it. :) kj 08:19, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi, again, I made my point here just to let you know dear friend :) Nominator for delation stated that on Pianist's web site there is copyright on the bottom, but I examined furthermore and seems to me that it must be technical problem or perhaps the page was never updated. Obviously ALL the photos on Latsabidze's gallery page [1] can not be taken by just one photographer, "Alexander Reznik", it seems to be impossible and unreal. I think this file was removed also for the same reasonFile:Princess Marie Lichtenstein and Giorgi Latsabidze.jpg. Do you think it can be restored? Tibetibe (talk) 23:53, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

This one of the princess is quite a different thing. There's no EXIF or indication of an author name. INeverCry 00:15, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

As to how to do this on commons, I would appreciate your kind guideline in this. Thanks! Tibetibe (talk) 17:18, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Can you clarify whether you intentionally meant to leave the two cropped images I linked to in that debate as undeleted. At the moment they exist here, but with the source now referring to now deleted donor images, which I presume is not acceptable. If you intended to delete them as well that's fine, but if not, at the very least could you replace the source parameter with links to the original flickr urls (which I no longer know due to the deletions).

Nevertheless, the book was published in 1906, РГБ has no copyrights for it. The mark '© РГБ 2009-2012' means that this Website (its design, but not its content) belongs to RGB Hunu (talk) 05:30, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

These may be free, but you had them tagged with {{PD-old-100}} which is not the right license. The photos were taken in 1906, so the photographer could've lived until the 1950s or 60s. You should check to see if {{PD-RusEmpire}} or {{PD-Russia}} might apply. You might also want to ask a Russian-speaking admin like User:EugeneZelenko for advice.

See: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Logos_of_political_parties_in_Brazil

Need some advice, please.

Ran into a category where it looks like most to all of the files will have to be deleted because the uploader didn't understand "own work". It looks like the person who uploaded the photos is the widow of this gentleman. This photo was taken by Bruno of Hollywood and appears to be before 1978, but I can't find any way to conclusively date it-it's of the couple when they were still performing. He has an en.WP page. That one could be uploaded there as a non-free file because he's deceased. Should I just copy the file there and then file a DR for the copy that's here? When you see things like this, you feel for the person because there was good intent. Though I know we have to delete what we aren't sure of, I'd just like to see that all of this isn't lost. Thanks! We hope (talk) 03:20, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Your fair-use idea sounds like the best solution to me. That way the image is protected and it can be added to his article without worrying about it being deleted at some point. Once you've done the transfer you could speedy it, or let me know on my talk and I'll delete it directly. INeverCry 03:34, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

In regard to the rest of those files, you could wait until after you've added the above image to the article before filing a mass DR on the others or individually speedying them. Seeing the Bruno image in the article might soften the blow on the uploader a bit. INeverCry 03:40, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

OK-have copied the Bruno file to en.WP and added it to his article. I linked back to this discussion so it can be seen where the file originated after it gets deleted. It looks to me like the only one that might be able to be kept in the category is the award letter. We hope (talk) 05:39, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tess_Broussard_at_the_Emmy_Awards_2012.jpg

Hello INeverCry. I'm pleased to meet you. I posted the file Tess_Broussard_at_the_Emmy_Awards_2012.jpg. When I first posted it I incorrectly sourced it. I have tried to source it correctly but it seems my first mistake is the only sourcing wiki sees and so the photo was deleted. The photo was taken by and is licensed by Joyce Chow at joycelchow@montebubbles.net. I sent this information with an email from Joyce Chow conveying the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license but they were unable to verify ownership. I then sent a website which used the photo, http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-848283 to also show that Ms. Chow (Montebubbles) is the license holder. And now the photo has been removed. Isn't this enough to prove Joyce Chow is the license holder?

I would like to have the photo reinstated in wiki. Could you let me know if this is possible and if not what you need from me?

I appreciate your work and your time.

You deleted this file at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Zombie.svg. It was used in Template:The_Walking_Dead and no notice was given there. It only became apparent after it turned into a red link. Can you revert the deletion and reopen the discussion. The nominator makes several deductions about the source of the image without proof. Why he went to so much trouble to invalidate an image that was explicitly free is beyond me. Barsoomian (talk) 08:21, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

I deleted the file because the source doesn't provide an explicit license statement. The file is already the subject of an open undeletion request, so it's restoration would depend on the outcome there. INeverCry 19:32, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Well, great. Since it's been deleted, I can't know what the licence statement was. There was, I suppose, no attempt made to ask the uploader to comply with this? The graphic has been in use for several years without incident, it may have been derived (or could have) from an image that is (so far) unchallenged, so I fail to see the urgency to delete this and mess up articles that use it with no notice on any of the pages it was being used.

The first paragraph quoted indicates that there should be an independent analysis of applicable law before uploading to Commons. There is no evidence of such an analysis.

The second reserves the right to charge for commercial use and authorises only personal, educational and research purposes. It does not allow for the use of the photo by comemrcial organisations that scrape wikis and charge for bogus books via Amazon etc. However Commons would allow such usage, therefore the existe3nce of the file here widens the licensing beyond that authorised by the LSE.--85.210.30.32 15:11, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Whether or not this is a banned user, the IP appears to be making valid arguments. Would you mind re-opening the deletion discussion, at least so these arguments can be addressed? Delicious carbuncle (talk) 18:55, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Rather than re-opening the above DR, perhaps a separate discussion should be started on the LSE Library @ Flickr Commons source and how images from that source should be dealt with on Commons? INeverCry 20:20, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Is this a widespread problem with this source? Why not start with this specific image and expand the discussion if other examples are raised? Are you unwilling to re-open the DR? Delicious carbuncle (talk) 20:40, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

It seems that LSE uses the same "No Known Copyright Restrictions" license for all the images uploaded to LSE Library @ Flickr Commons, so my thought is that maybe there should be some set way of reviewing them (the above image passed a Flickr review). I think this might be a better solution than re-opening a DR on just one image. I wouldn't object, however, to another admin re-opening the above DR if they felt it necessary. INeverCry 20:48, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

If you wish to start a discussion about images from this source in general, go ahead. I'm just going to nominate this particular image for deletion again. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 22:13, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

While I understand to some degree

I see the blocks of Kuiper's IPs. However they are dynamic - the only effect will be to puzzle some future user who attempt to use the IP on Commons - the probability is that it is unlikely to be Kuiper. Actually tagging the Ip seems plain wrong. From experience on en wp - I have had warnings that my IP has vandalised en wp - it may well have but it wasn't me - my IP is equally dynamic. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 10:54, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

User page of Pieter Kuiper

Hi INeverCry, I've reverted this edit by you on the user page of Pieter Kuiper. We do not put such blocking templates on user pages, in particular not to those working under a real name and who collaborated considerably for a significant time period. When Pieter Kuiper stays blocked (there was never a consensus for this), there is no reason to humiliate him. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 23:00, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

If that template isn't for userpages, then whats up with this? It obviously wouldn't make sense to put it on his talk, where he could easily remove it. You don't get indef blocked by accident either btw. There's no getting away from the fact that this user is socking with IPs. Several admins have blocked the IPs for it. INeverCry 23:40, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Some day, I think that someone needs to close the discussion at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems/Pieter Kuiper and decide what to do with this user. Of course, blocking won't affect anything if the user just uses different IP addresses all of the time. --Stefan4 (talk) 00:18, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

That's quite a mess there isn't it? As for the blocks, as an admin I have to uphold policy by blocking socks. Another thing about these IP blocks is that they are evidence of socking around a block which is a legitimate reason for instituting and/or maintaining an indef block and is something to be considered if/when a block is appealed. INeverCry 00:51, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Yes, it's very messy. I'm not sure if it is a good idea to block the IP addresses (e.g. 95.195.129.185 and 95.195.158.142) for a whole year, though. The IP addresses suggest that he is using a mobile phone connected to the largest Swedish mobile network and he obviously gets a new IP address frequently. A long block risks blocking someone else by mistake while it is unlikely that he will use the same IP even after a day. --Stefan4 (talk) 02:50, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

closure of DR with renomination etc

The DR archive Bot does not archive closed DR if it contains more subheadings than the first one. If you close a DR where the image has been renominated, please disable further subheading. Please look at this diff for something I use to circumvent the problem. Another issue is the first subheading, the filename therein has to match the subtemplate name and should not contain other infos or a second image added behind - Bot won't archive such an DR either. --Denniss (talk) 20:04, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Long-term egregious vandalism

Thank you for deleting some of the images uploaded by User:Hiyahkick that I had flagged for copyvio. Thank you for warning this user about copyright issues. I'd like you to be aware that this user is one of hundreds of sockpuppets created by a notorious vandal who was banned from English Wikipedia several years ago (for persistently uploading copyvio content, creating deliberately erronenous content, and other issues), but continues to operate on Commons with near-impunity. I know that essentially everything this sockpuppet army uploads is a copyvio (in many cases I'm fairly sure I've seen the images before, as they were uploaded and deleted previously, but I don't have admin access to check that). However, I'm not technically adept at working with images in order to search effectively for evidence that the inagees are copyvios (I got lucky today with a few images). Thus, I'm not good at finding evidence to convince Commons administrators that a particular image is copyvio. I've been dealing with this character for years, and haven't gotten much recognition of the problem among Commons administrators. Life is too short to try to fight this egregious vandalism one image at a time, though.

I'm hoping for some help in getting Commons to control this long-term, prolific, and egregious vandal.

The sockpuppeteer in question is known at English Wikipedia as Jvolkblum. See EN:Category:Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Jvolkblum for a collection of sockpuppets used at English Wikipedia. Note that the Jvolkblum account was never used on Commons (he used to upload images to English Wikipedia, and didn't start working Commons until after he was thwarted on EN). Commons:Requests for checkuser/Case/ChucksBike-O-Rama is a checkuser request from 2008 that turned up a collection of socks active in Commons around that time. A number of users were blocked in the 2008 time frame, but this activity has continued pretty much unabated ever since. For a principal example, Category:New Rochelle, New York and its subcategories contain hundreds of images from this army of sockpuppets. In addition to Hiyahkick, accounts active on Commons in the last few months (typically for only a day or two -- these are throw-away sock accounts) have included (but are not limited to) User:Grabbybagg, User:Tuscanice, User:Frankiesay22, User:NataFallon1, User:MotortodaParty, User:DuckieMoMo, User:ChanceTears, User:28Shimms, User;Midnitesweeps, User:Octogoggles, User:Kepclm, and User:ElykSenoj. Sometimes he edits from anonymous IPs -- for example, see Special:Contributions/66.87.0.126 and this cross-wiki history. Checkuser effectiveness is limited by the fact that he typically has access to several different Internet services; recently. he has often edited from mobile phone IPs (like that Sprint IP). However, after seeing thousands of his edits, I seldom have any doubt when I'm looking at his work. --Orlady (talk) 05:47, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi Orlady. The first thing I noticed was that the Jvolkblum acct is non-existent on Commons, which is a problem in regard to tagging these socks and starting a category for them. I would suggest maybe changing those socks from the 2008 CU to "socks of ChucksBike-O-Rama" and changing ChucksBike-O-Rama to sockpuppeteer. This way there's a reference point for socks tagged on Commons, rather than having people click on a non-existent acct. We could add a reference to the en.wiki Jvolkblum deal to the ChucksBike-O-Rama userpage.

It looks like all or most of the images are New York-related? This will help if CU won't, though perhaps we should request a new CU anyways? It also looks like atleast the grabbybag acct is used on en and com, so that could be blocked outright. Maybe others, but I'm too tired to look at the moment. I'm going to bed, but I'll have a better look at all this tomorrow. INeverCry 07:39, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for looking at this. I understand that the absence on Commons of the Jvolkblum account has been an issue in the past. ChucksBike-O-Rama is probably as good an account as any to identify as the sockpuppeteer, although it is by no means the earliest of the accounts used on Commons.

In recent times, this sockpuppeteer has often limited his accounts to either Commons or EN, but about about a third of the accounts used on Commons (at least the ones that I know about) also get used on EN. Every known account on EN is blocked; also, on EN these accounts' contributions to EN get purged for being the work of a banned user (unless those contents are validated by someone else). Regarding users who have been active at both sites, here are global contributions page for two of the registered users (ElykSenoj and ChanceTears) who have worked on both sites within the last several months -- and who made some edits at EN that haven't been completely deleted. I'm less concerned about the user accounts (which are typically abandoned after a short time) than I am about the images. When a user uploads a bunch of images with license claims and source information that doesn't clearly accord with the nature of the image (for example, small-scale photos, consistent with website photos, that are claimed to be from the user's own camera) and that user is already blocked on EN as a proven sockpuppet of a banned user notorious for violating copyright and misrepresenting the sources of uploaded content, I believe that Commons should make a presumption that the content is misrepresented -- rather than allowing all contents except the most obvious copyvios to remain on Commons because of the assumption of good faith.

Most, but not all, of the images of concern are related to New York (generally New Rochelle, New York, and Sarah Lawrence College). There also are images of people, artwork, and other topics that are in some way related (or said to be related) to New Rochelle (for example, Norman Rockwell, the Lawton blackberry cultivar, America's Cup yachts and yachtsmen, and actors and actresses who once appeared in Thanhouser film studio productions). Some materials are legitimately PD-US due to their being published before 1923. However, it's not clear that everything that *looks* old truly *is* old (this is a particular concern with artwork) or was actually published in the past (as distinct from being placed in a family photo album in 1919, then donated to a library in 1995). --Orlady (talk) 15:16, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Request

File:Grev Turegatan 1962.jpg [4]

I tagged as a possible copyvio and the uploader removed the tag. If you have a moment, could you take a look. The rationale he gave was {{PD-Sweden-photo}} which may be true, but it seemed to be outside the criteria as it was stated in the template and I feel an independent set of eyes on the image is best. Dennis Brown (talk) 14:53, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

The bit about "photographic works" as opposed to "photographic pictures" seems a bit confusing. Seeing that the uploader removed the CSD, which he's basically allowed to do, one option would be to use {{Delete}}, which he's not allowed to remove, instead. Another option you might try is posting a question about this image at Commons:Village pump/Copyright. INeverCry 18:31, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

The confusion for me was the exception to be PD if it was released by the press, but this image was instead published by a museum (per the description of the source itself), and wouldn't seem to qualify. And I wasn't sure if creators could remove speedy tags, I know the policies are very different here than enwp. I'm trying to get up to speed to help here a bit more, without stepping on toes. Thank you for the assistance, I will ponder it a bit before deciding. Dennis Brown (talk) 19:56, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

The statement "such as images by the press" leaves me wondering what else is covered, and if the difference is whether or not the work is considered artistic or how much it has to do with where and why it was originally taken and published. You might also ask User:Thuresson, as he's an SV speaking admin, who're quite few here. INeverCry 20:04, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

I've dropped Thuresson a note pointing here. It is an unusual concern, not something you run across every day, so I didn't want to labor it with the editor who removed the tag. Hopefully Thuresson can shed some light. Thanks again. Dennis Brown (talk) 19:29, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Establishing if a particular photo met the requirements must be done on a case by case basis. What should be considered is how a photo can be assessed according to the concept "threshold of originality". Is this a photo that anybody with a camera would be able to make or is it a work of art, made by an artist with an original idea? As far as I'm concerned there is nothing original about this particular photo, just like most photos you can find in a daily newspaper. The identity of the photographer or the publisher is not a concern here, the date is though. Photographs that are works of art can be found here. At least it is not obviously a candidate for deletion so a formal request for deletion should be made if you are still not convinced. Thuresson (talk) 21:40, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

The issue with that file is simple. The source is too vague about licensing. If the source gave an explicit license for the file rather than just saying "free", it could be hosted on Commons. See COM:L for appropriate licenses. INeverCry 17:37, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

All I know is what you say since I can't see the source or whatever information was originally supplied by the uploader.

How to prove copyright permission?

Full question text

Hello INeverCry. I'd really appreciate any advice you can give me on how I can correct the copyright permission information for a file I uploaded on 29th November, deleted by you due to 'missing permission as of 9th December'? Could this relate to user Griot-de's Wikipedia entry on 9th December stating 'Authority control moved from invalid place'? The file details are on my talk page - it's a photo of a celebrity, taken by a fan (Paul Aitken) at a public fan convention.

Otherwise, I believe the issue relates to 'proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license'. Paul Aitken has given me written permission (in the form of a Personal Message on Facebook) agreeing to release the photo under a free license, specifically to allow me to put it on Wikipedia to be used by anyone for any purpose. I can ask him to send a completed templated form on the OTRS to permission-commons@wikimedia.org from his email address, but I read that this may take approximately a month to get a response, and that Commons then needs to verify his identity, so 'the email address must come from one that can be authorised online'. Do you know how this can be achieved in this case, since his email address is not on any official website?

Or, is there an alternative route to proving permission that I have missed? The photo taker has no interest in keeping the copyright, and has also made the photo openly available on the internet. Is there a way for him to transfer the copyright to me legally, or to give permission for me to deal with this file upload on his behalf? Failing the above, if he were to create a Flickr account and upload the photo to it, expressing a free licence, and I was to upload it to Commons from there, will the issue of proof of his identity still arise? Thanks in advance for any help, Clare ClareGC (talk) 11:21, 24 December 2012 (UTC.

The best way to go would be to have Paul Aitken send an email to COM:OTRS. Any question regarding email validity should be directed to an OTRS volunteer or to the OTRS Noticeboard. An alternative might be having him upload a full-res copy of the image himself with EXIF data. INeverCry 16:55, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

source=Crédit Photos agence Reflex création

Clean up

Thanks for cleaning up the mess I did in File:Tetraiodoethene.svg: I usually create a temporary file, upload, and change its name, but in this case I was half-distracted and uploaded a wrong version, so when I re-uploaded the file was renamed to the temporary name. But I am not here to justify my error, but to request the additional elimination of the temporary file File:lixo.svg, lixo is trash in Portuguese (meaning that I erase these files after I upload), not a nice name for a chemical compound!

hi;

in this case, [5] i don't see why you felt it was ok to "mass delete" on such flimsy "evidence" & without anyone else being involved in the discussion.

you also did not provide any explanation of your reasoning?

if this is the new "standard" for removing material, then i didn't hear about it, & it really needs to be discussed by the community. especially for mass-deletions!

Lx 121 (talk) 21:42, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

I deleted it per COM:PRP. Look through the archives for the past 6 months or more, (these mass DRs have to be archived by hand, so December and late November stuff will still be unarchived), and you'll find 100s of these uncontested mass DRs deleted/closed in the same way by several admins, especially the 100s of mass DRs by Eugene. We are short on admins who want to close DRs and, from what I've seen, a large number of these small size/no EXIF mass DRs never get commented on at all. Here's a mass DR by me that is still open with no comments from over a month ago. I'm just doing my best to take care of these DRs and keep Commons from having a huge backlog. In the end we need more admins willing to handle closing and commenting on DRs and more users commenting on them. INeverCry 22:09, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Communauté de communes du Pays du Grésivaudan‎

Je constate que tu a supprimé le logo de Communauté de communes du Pays du Grésivaudan‎trouve alors que dans "common" j’avais indiqué que j'avais l'accord de la communauté de commune mais que je ne savais pas comment il fallait le formaliser; d'ailleurs j’attends toujours la réponse a la question que j'avais posée!!

Aujourd'hui je constate que tu supprime le logo sans avertissement et sans autre forme de procès et je trouve cette méthode pour le moins cavalerie!! Je ne pense pas que ce soit la bonne technique pour encourager les wikipediens a faire des efforts pour ajouter des images.

J'attends de ta part au minimum que tu me dise ce qui n'a pas été fait correctement, ce qui justifie cette suppression et ce qu'il aurait fallu que je fasse pour éviter cette suppression.
Ce que tu compte faire a l'avenir pour éviter de décourager les bonnes volontés. Pano38 (talk) 08:02, 27 Décembre 2012 (UTC)

Friuli-Venezia flag

Hello! The deleted file File:Friuli-Venezia_Giulia-Flag.png was used by quite a few WP articles, so I was thinking of recreating it from appropriately licensed elements. Problem is, the FOTW page from which it came shows a few variants, and I don’t know which was copied here. Is there any way you could temporarily undelete the file, or e-mail it to me, so I can identify the design—or just have a peek yourself and let me know what it looked like? The two most likely choices appear to be the one showing the eagle taking flight from a mural crown (which looks like a sort of castle) and the one with just the eagle displayed (in the classic heraldic posture: body vertical, wings spread to either side). The latter version might also have “FRIULI” written sideways in the hoist (on the left-hand side). Thanks for your attention.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 00:59, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
