File:2003az84-19960319.jpg

Hi Nrco0e,
I have a question regarding your file 2003az84-19960319. Similar to 2007 OR10 Snow White in 1991 (which I have recently nominated for deletion), there is no indication that the image is actually in the public domain. Can you show where the copyright given on the source page (copyright by California Institute of Technology) is revoked/adjusted to make the image suitable for Wikipedia? This may also help with the discussion at the 2007 OR10 image. Thanks! Renerpho (talk) 20:23, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Edit: There may be more similar images affected by the same issue. Examples #1, #2. Renerpho (talk) 20:29, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

It seems like most of my precovery image uploads are copyrighted by the California Institute of Technology. I recently contacted the person behind the website and I might remove these images once I get an answer from him. For now, I will replace these precoveries with Hubble images. Nrco0e (talk) 06:30, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Good, thank you. In cases where the precovery images aren't already linked from inside the article, a link to his page should be added. Renerpho (talk) 14:36, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Please make sure to follow Commons:OTRS in case you want to keep those files. Remember that simply asking the publisher for permission is not enough. Renerpho (talk) 14:40, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Canadian Astronomy Data Centre image license

Hello Nrco0e,
I see you have been adding a number of images of small satellites to Wikimedia Commons, mostly from CADC (example). First of all, nice work!
You have licensed those images as CC BY-SA 4.0. That license requires a link showing that the original publisher, CADC, agrees with that license or one that is compatible (like "public domain"). Could you add that link to your uploads? The telescope itself, the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, states that the data published by them are copyrighted.[1] Of course that may not apply to CADC if they state otherwise. Thank you!

Copyright status: File:Siarnaq lightcurve shape model.png

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Siarnaq lightcurve shape model.png. 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.

question: what graphics platform are you using to generate accurate orbital diagrams & scaled object diameters

Aloha Nrco0e — I hope this is an appropriate way to ask you this question; apologies if not:

Similar to the several TNO population graphics you have created, I would also like to create graphics that are crisp, accurately scaled & visually compelling. Might I ask: what graphics platform you are using?

thanks for your assistance.

Jonathan — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kanakana Kē (talk • contribs) 15:36, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Kanakana Kē: I use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to make SVG graphics. For the orbital diagrams I use Celestia v1.7.0. Nrco0e (talk) 02:30, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for correcting my mistake with identification of Psyche and Kalliope in VLT images. Just noticed that. Szczureq (talk) 10:35, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Problem with File:Siarnaq_lightcurve_shape_model.png

Hello Nrco0e,

Sorry to bother you, but I am having difficulties with an image you uploaded to Commons, File:Siarnaq_lightcurve_shape_model.png.

There was a deletion request for this in February 2021 (see here), which you removed yourself. Your edit summary was: "otrs is not needed when confirmed to be cc-by-sa-4.0".

However, I find nothing on the source page [2] that indicates that this license applies. On the contrary, there is an explicit note that forbids the distribution of images.[3] It reads:

"Das Copyright für veröffentlichte, von mir selbst erstellte Objekte bleibt allein bei mir. Eine Vervielfältigung oder Verwendung solcher Grafiken, Tondokumente, Videosequenzen und Texte in anderen elektronischen oder gedruckten Publikationen ist ohne meine ausdrückliche Zustimmung nicht gestattet." -- In English: The copyright of all published objects that were created by me remains with me only. Redistribution, or usage of such images, audio files, videos or text within any electronic or printed publications without my explicit consent is forbidden.

This is exactly what OTRS is for. I don't understand your rationale for removing the deletion request. Renerpho (talk) 04:42, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

@Renerpho: Huh, I don't ever recall doing that. Perhaps my memory must be hazy. I'll make sure to contact Tilmann again about this soon, although I'm currently busy with non-wiki / non-science matters. Nrco0e (talk) 05:06, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

@Nrco0e: Thank you! The current backlog of deletion requests is longer than the Nile, so there's no hurry, but it would be good to sort this out before someone complains again. If you can contact him and add an appropriate license/permission, that would be great. Renerpho (talk) 16:41, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

DART image flipping

Hello. I see you recently mirrored several images from the DART mission. These have been taken directly from https://dart.jhuapl.edu/Gallery/. Are you claiming that JHUAPL are incorrect in their presentation? Source of this information? — Huntster (t @ c) 02:36, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

@Huntster: I used the unmirrored DRACO images posted in NASA's press release here: [4]. Now that I look at it, apparently the raw DRACO images were originally mirrored from reality; JHUAPL's versions are supposedly correct. I'm confused on this matter as nobody has elaborated on this yet, but I'm leaning toward the original DRACO images for now. Apologies if my actions were premature. Nrco0e (talk) 02:42, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

@Huntster: One more thing I would like to add: I believe the DRACO images show the correct orientation and the flipping is unnecessary. According to Figure 2 in Rivkin et al. (2021) (you'll have to rotate the diagram upside down), DART should be seeing Dimorphos to the right of Didymos's illuminated side; this is indeed the case for this unflipped DRACO imaged published by NASA. Furthermore, the DRACO live feed shows Dimorphos orbiting clockwise (north pole down) and toward DART, which is also what is shown in the Figure 2 diagram. Nrco0e (talk) 03:24, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, it's a little odd that there was no mention of image orientation during the broadcast, but what also leads me to believe APL's images is that they had to fix their own caption for "Last image showing all of Didymos & Dimorphos" to what it is now, as it originally read Didymos's orientation as bottom left or something. So, what's there now should reflect reality. So, flip all the images to Didymos right Dimorphos left, and note in the video that the orientation was flipped for the live broadcast? Or, leave the live broadcast screenshots as they were originally aired and note the issue? — Huntster (t @ c) 05:36, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

For now I think we should wait until NASA and JHUAPL make further press releases using the DART photos. Nrco0e (talk) 06:43, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

Appears this has already been answered: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/dart-s-final-images-prior-to-impact. "Ecliptic north is toward the bottom of the image. This image is shown as it appears on the DRACO detector and is mirror flipped across the x-axis from reality." And, the images on that page have been properly processed, so I may just replace my existing uploads with those. — Huntster (t @ c) 13:33, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Celestialobjects

I've closed Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Celestialobjects as delete. I would recommend creating another DR for the user's remaining files (if you're not familiar with COM:VFC, it can make that easy.) If you're able to, could you also replace the most-used of those images with other files? There's a few with a fair bit of usage, and I don't want to cause a lot of disruption by deleting the bad images. Thanks, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 05:48, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

CFHT images

Hello! I happened to notice a lot of images being uploaded from the CFHT website, and I'm concerned. You post the permission page as https://www.cfht.hawaii.edu/HawaiianStarlight/CFHT_WWW_Copyright.html and give a license of CC-by-sa-4.0, but that page neither gives such a license or give any indication that they are freely licensed. Further, even if such a free license was given, that page only applies to the Hawaiian Starlight project as far as I can tell. What other evidence is there that CFHT images are freely licensed? Thanks. — Huntster (t @ c) 02:16, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

@Huntster: Hi, I recall finding another website that states the raw data is public, but I'm afraid that I couldn't find it anymore. I'll contact the CFHT and CADC if they want to keep the images up on Commons through VRT, otherwise I'll agree to have them taken down. Nrco0e (talk) 18:50, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

Sounds like a plan. Let me know how things go, and I'll help how I can in the processing. — Huntster (t @ c) 18:52, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

@Huntster: Hi, it's been a while now and still no response from them. If that warrants the deletion of the CFHT images, then feel free to proceed with the deletion. I believe I can replace all of them with raw images from NOIRLab's Dark Energy Camera, which are distributed on NOIRLab's data archive, which is in the same domain as NOIRLab's public website where its images are released under CC-by-4.0.[5] Please let me know if I'm interpreting NOIRLab's policy correctly or not. Nrco0e (talk) 06:49, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

@Huntster and Renerpho: It's been a long while since you've brought up concerns about the copyright status of CFHT images. I finally received a response from one of the project scientists of the CADC hosting the CFHT data. He told me that "If you are using any data from CFHT taken at CADC after the proprietary period has passed, science images on the can be considered to be public domain" and directed me to CADC's About page which pretty much clears everything up: https://www.cadc-ccda.hia-iha.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/en/about.html

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. Abzeronow (talk) 16:01, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

It appears that your orbit diagram of (130 Elektra System)[6] has the same label for both of the inner satellites and that one needs to be corrected.
