Thanks for uploading File:Mor. Utopiya.ogg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

@Ruff tuff cream puff: Hey, I am not too common with Wikimedia Commons, so I need to ask: The image was sent to me by Akerblad himself in response to "an image for his Wikipedia article", wherefore I put "Attatched to email by author" as source description. I no longer have a copy of that email as my service's recycle bin empties automaticly after a short time, so what could I do? Would it be possible to move the image to en.Wikipedia file namespace? Lordtobi (talk) 13:57, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Owning a copy of a photo (whether digital or film) does not equate to owning the photo's copyright, and neither does owning "publicity" rights. Subjects of photos are often unaware of this, and so in this case we will need either the photographer to confirm that they agree to a free license (as we define it), or for Akerblad to forward the contract confirming transfer of copyright. Either way, it needs to happen through the procedures outlined at COM:OTRS, both to protect the confidentiality of the participants and so that we have an archive.

Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 03:36, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Magog the Ogre: Hello, I think there is a little of a mix-up, and I don't think that this ban is justified. I was never really "warned" the way you put it in your block description, I did get some notifications implying that an image I uploaded did not fit the requirements for inclusion. Of the 60+ fies I uploaded, only a minority was deleted.
My first attempt at using Commons was by uploading an audio sample of a foreign game name, as I had seen multiply on Commons (I did the exact same TTS as others did, but apparently my version was bad...sure.) Following on that are two images I wanted to update: File:CDProjekt-logo.svg and the recent File:RedLynx logo.png, on the prior, my upload was actually justified as the bird displayed consisted just of simple lines and two colors and a proper documentation on that case COM:TOO#Poland does NOT exist, on the latter, COM:TOO#Finland did not really display how my upload would conflict with it (actually, it does not actually tell me anything, the page is really not maintained well.) Furthermore, the logo for the company Warhorse (in Czechia) was a simple "W" and "H" on a shield--yet, it was deleted for copyvio. Does that make sense? No, I don't think so. Next I uploaded the logo for Grand Theft Auto V, which includes the words "grand", "theft", and "auto", as well as a "V", the V has very little stylizatin (a few curves), but ultimately, it was deleted nonsensially. Another file that was deleted was a portait of Rockstar Games founder Dan Houser, in parallel to the picture of his brother, Sam Houser, which was present on Commons for almost two years alrady, and I took it from the same source, and when mine got deleted, the other stayed until I voted to have it deleted as well.
So in conclusion, in my history, only three files were more-or-less-justifiedly deleted (over a course of 2+ years!), while two were deleted against the background of my uploading parallel files only (where I could see that they are acceptable to have, but yet they weren't, just becuase). Your block makes it look like I only use Commons to purposefully uploaded fair-use media to mess with its users, but that is simply not true. I make mistakes--sure--Commons isn't my primary project, I even tend to always upload to English Wikipedia directly, only come here if the files are already present, or should be in parallel with other files, wherefore I consider this the proper place to put them, but to err is human, and I need to learn, and a block certainly does not help me learn. What should actually be done is a refurbishment of COM:TOO, which is crucial to the development of the platform. COM:TOO is a mess, and as you can tell from my behaviour, I certainly couldn't figure out the proper usage for some of my files, laying the fault on the maintainance of rules rather than my wrongdoing. Lordtobi () 13:14, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
1) You uploaded an image which looks very similar to this. There is no question this is a copyright violation. It's not an edge case.
2) You were previously warned for uploading an image from the Daily Mail. I don't care about the Warhorse logo, but this is an absolute no-no.
3) You cannot pretend TOO lies somewhere where you wish it lied instead of where it does. Nor is your wisdom greater than that of Commons editors; TOO does not need to be refined to include copyright violations.
4) With regards to the "mistakes", hopefully you will be more careful in the future.
You may appeal this block with the {{Unblock}} template. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 16:11, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of information[edit]

Hi, in 2016 I told you not to remove things like the original upload log from a file description page. Now you did it again for the same file as in 2016 and for other files. Don't do that. Jcb (talk) 22:08, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Jcb, I must apologize for this inconvenience. Back on the first case, I wasn't thinking straight, the second (today) I didn't quite notice that I did since I was adapting the gallery of other versions I had previously inserted on the Rockstar Games logo. I understand why you would want to restore those upload logs, but that does not quite explain why you reverting every single of my edits today. For example, you set thise file back to an uncategroized state, literally axing two years of progress with a single click. Might I ask you to restore my edits and then re-insert the upload log for the affected logos? The present versions, on all 11 files you reverted me on, does not feel better than a lacking OUL. I will try to look out for OULs more closely in the future. Lordtobi () 22:24, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
On the mentioned file page you removed the original upload log and you left an empty source field. On the second and third file I click, you also removed information. That's the moment where an administrator will just rollback your edits. You cannot expect us to review all your edits one by one if such things happen. Jcb (talk) 22:41, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Apart from one today, all of these removals happend back in 2016, when I was still new to the site. And I don't think that this reasons reverting all changes like I was some kind of vandal. In places where I changed the source, I did so because the new image had a new source (from which I sourced and cleaned the image some months back), so completely valid. The only istance where I actually removed such information was also the RAGE logo, but just because it only said "Rockstar Games". The company has never officially distributed that exact image, and it does not help to just add a company name there without further context. Nonetheless, would you be available to restoring my proper versions from earlier today and then merging the OULs into these versions? Lordtobi ( 22:50, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You now know that you cannot remove information, so don't do that. I am not going to examine and fix all your edits. If you don't understand what you are doing, make sure you understand before you start editting again. Jcb (talk) 22:54, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I restored my content in tandem with the OULs. Lordtobi ( 07:16, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Kati Levoranta, Gamelab 2018 (43110732442).jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion.

@Ronhjones: The image was released by its photographer, Carolina Gaona (@Sonaratv), as a public donain image via the Flickr account of the event where the image was taken. The account in question is also operated by Gaona, as is said in the profile's description. I thought I had tagged it sufficiently and "public domain" would it mean it could be used anywhere, but your message has me believe that this is not the case. How would I tag this file correctly? Lordtobi () 21:50, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Flickr with it's license choices has been shown to be an issue, and subject of quite some discussion - hence the complicated template we have to put on the image page. The actual text used by Flickr is "Public Domain Work" and "Public Domain Dedication (CC0)" (and flcikr puts a "Public Domain Mark" or a CC-zero mark for these two choices). The former is for when the uploader believes it is the PD (old age, US Gov, etc.) and is not a irrevocable license. The latter is where the Flickr user wants to donate his work into the PD (and it has the CC-zero in brackets). Their Flickr page has a only a Twitter code - I linked that to twitter.com/search?q=%40Sonaratv&src=typd - suggest talk to them, explain what the choices mean, and ask if they will alter it (it only takes a few seconds to change it) Ronhjones  (Talk) 23:03, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I understand where you're coming from, though CC does not strictly classify the PD Mark as not suitable for original PD works. I feel like ambiguity is at play here, unfortunately. Nontheless, I'm trying to contact them, though obviously I cannot know when and whether they will respond. Regards. Lordtobi () 21:07, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Problematic users notification[edit]

Thank you for helping with Commons maintenance! Please notify users about problems with their files. Help:Gadget-UserMessages is very helpful for this purpose. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:04, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @EugeneZelenko, thanks for your message. You're that I often (usually?) forget to notify the users of files I tag. I usually edit on enwiki and am a bit spoiled because I use Twinkle there for automated notifications. I will try to post notifications regularly in the future, and this tool is a good first step, but I wonder, is there a tool similar to Twinkle (i.e., automatically tag a file as copyvio and notify the uploader) for this project? Lordtobi () 14:30, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I rarely edit English Wikipedia these days, so I'm not aware of best practices there :-( Is this tool JavaScript-based or bot monitoring recent changes? --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:34, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@EugeneZelenko: A JavaScript tool, similar to Gadget-UserMessages but with automatic tagging functions for files, articles, etc. with simultaneous user messages. You can check it out here. It's mostly a time saver, hence why I'm curious whether Commons has something alike. Lordtobi () 14:38, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
For mass tagging Commons has Help:VisualFileChange.js and this tool notifies user automatically. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:40, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@EugeneZelenko: This tool certainly has good features, but it doesn't seem to support "tag this file". For single-file cases, I will probably stick to hand-adding copyvio tags and the notifying user via UserMessages, which realizes which file I just tagged. Thanks for the help! Lordtobi () 15:32, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Second Life snapshots and copyright[edit]

Hi IceWelder, I noticed that you tagged a bunch of Second Life snapshots for speedy deletion. So here is a speedy reaction to that. Did you read and take notice of this page? Linden_Lab_Official:Snapshot_and_machinima_policy? As far as I know it is only Second Life landowners and portrayed avatars that can put up restrictions.

Best regards. Peli (talk) 10:15, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Pelikana. I wasn't aware of this special case for Second Life. However, the individual characters would still be subject to copyright (and in some, the avatar is apparently modeled after Dr. Phil), right? Even if that did not apply, it would be out-of-scope as a screenshot for a personal project. Looking through the Second Life categories, a lot of images could be deleted with this reasoning. IceWelder [] 10:36, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi this could lead to a lengthy discussion as to what is out of scope. And what is a non free video game. Installing the app, making an avatar and entering SL is free to everyone. It would be nice if you turned it into a normal deletion process at least so more users can express their opinion. Better to just remove the deletion request at all. To me Second Life is a part of the world. Regarding to size it can be compared to a small town of 40K inhabitants. Thats how many are actually in world at all times on average. The number of registered users is far larger. And this small town would deserve any categorisation that a small or middle sized town could have. I.e. streets in SL, vehicles, buildings, parcs, animals etc. in SL, actors in etc. Most of the avatars in SL can change appearance several times per day, and imho as long as their avatar names are not visible or mentioned in the description there is no harmful breaking of peronality rights. Some shop owners or creators might object to depiction of their products, but in my experience nobody cares if it is shown de minimis. I meant to say that most if not all avatars implicitely if not explicitely agreed to their snapshots being taken, especially the ones getting on stage to expose themselves as dancers to a SL audience. Taking snapshots at shows and publicing them outside of SL is in many cases encouraged by stage owners and event organisers. Jo Yardly is a landowner, a creator and contributor to commons herself. I see no valid reason to delete her files. Peli (talk) 10:52, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not adamant regarding the topic's scope in general. I only tagged a series of screenshots from the same user with possibly unattributable avatars/models. This is mostly a spillover from enwiki, where the corresponding article, presumably written by the project's author, is being deleted. An administrator will weigh in their opinion on the images soon. If there is ever a discussion for Second Life overall, feel free to ping me. IceWelder [] 11:15, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Hello, sorry, I have no idea how this works, but the page was not written by the project's author or anyone involved with managing/owning/creating the actual project. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hab3045 (talk • contribs) 11:58, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I did not create the page, I did upload the pictures, only dr phil and I are in them (recognisably anyway). No idea who made the page but I think it's nice that a project that has been home to thousands of people and that has existed for over a decade in the oldest biggest user created virtual online world there is gets a mentioned. Second Life is 100% free. Joyardley (talk) 12:08, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you are the author of both the screenshot and the assets therein, the images should be fine. I retracted the copyvio notice from most images, but three images container avatars from third parties that still fall under their authors' copyright, per the licensing agreement for the game. I revised the copyvio tags for those. IceWelder [] 12:22, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Eurovision image violation[edit]

Hi Ice. This is the first time I've known about this image being uploaded. I've not edited or been active on Wikipedia since 2015. It would appear that someone has uploaded this fraudulently and without my knowledge. I've just had to reset my password, as the one I use to have wasn't recognised. Perhaps my account was hacked into? Wes Wolf Talk 09:36, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Wesley Wolf: In that case, you should review your most recent contributions. There are ~200 across 2016 and 2017. The image I tagged was uploaded in 2017 and I only discovered it just now as part of my routine sweeping. Regards, IceWelder [] 20:41, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Borderline TOO cases[edit]

I notice that you've tagged several borderline image for speedy deletion, such as File:Wolfenstein New Colossus.jpg. Note that COM:CSD#F1 states: "This does not apply whenever there is ... a plausible argument that it is below the threshold of originality." What this means is that even if you personally believe it to be above TOO, if it's not an obvious case that everyone would believe to be above TOO, you should not nominate it for speedy deletion. Instead, the best approach is to open a DR, as I've done for you. -- King of ♥ 03:58, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The cases I report are fairly obvious - not in my opinion, but according to the relevant TOO guidelines. For example, you declined the copyvios for the two Doctor Who logos despite COM:TOO UK stating that "most logos" are "Not OK" to upload here. The UK has one of the lowest TOOs around, so the copyvio tag was not "borderline". Now, we have two separate DRs (and really, it should only be one as it is two variations of the same logo to be deleted for the same reasons), but I fail to see where there would be a "plausible argument that it is below the threshold of originality" with such a strict guideline. IceWelder [] 08:14, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Any logo from anywhere in the world that would be below TOO in the US is considered borderline. Remember, DRs aren't just for inviting further discussion, but also for documentation (e.g. Category:Threshold of originality related deletion requests). If our understanding of the copyright law of a certain country changes as a result of new evidence, we want to be able to easily look up the images we deleted under our faulty assumption. -- King of ♥ 08:43, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Fairly obvious? It's not obvious for me, why white text on black background now copyrighted. Denis Golyakov (talk) 16:23, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The font is not copyrighted but the content and arrangement obviously are, especially if you look at Sweden's extremely low TOO. IceWelder [] 16:34, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't call Sweden's TOO "extremely low"; I would call it peculiar. You have stuff like File:Upphovsrätt på teknisk ritning.png which may be above US TOO, and stuff like File:4xcolor mini maglite 20050614.jpg which would be considered totally utilitarian in any other country. -- King of ♥ 17:07, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
