Welcome, Dear Filemover!

Hi Renamed user 995577823Xyn/Archive 1, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

  • Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one.
  • Please do not tag redirects as {{Speedy}}. Other projects, like InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references.
  • Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

I can't do that because it is in a 1982 newspaper and would be a copyright violaton. The photo does not give a source either. It is from after 1978 and would be considered a copyrighted image. Sorry, We hope (talk) 19:16, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

Per Commons:Deletion requests/File:Capra-young.jpg, I was not notified so was unaware the image was posted for deletion. As you can guess, if I was, I would have commented.

Re: Authorship question

Hi. You posted a question about some files I'd uploaded on Fastily's talk page, and I thought I'd reply here rather than fill his talk page with the discussion. As I stated there, I've been primarily concerned with providing specific dating information, but just at a glance, I know that I can provide additional evidence of authorship for several files, so I'll be happy to go through my upload history and provide additional information where I can. I'd just ask that you give me a few weeks to allow me enough time to go through everything before tagging. I realize you'd mentioned that you'd had some problems with previous editors in the past, but I'm personally not looking for conflict here on Commons, so if you have any questions/concerns regarding something I've uploaded in the future, please don't hesitate to contact me directly and I'll be happy to see what I can do to address the issue. Thanks. --- Crakkerjakk (talk) 04:49, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

I was expecting you to take the advice given and go through the files yourself. There's been problems with photos of this type here for some time. One user in particular appears to upload anything if it holds still long enough and gives it either a PD or a PD-not renewed license. The authors are listed as either "studio" or "news source"; many turn up at Getty or Corbis with active copyrights. When the files are tagged as questionable, the cry of "machine gun tagging" is heard, regardless of who tagged the files, and there's a dispute for almost every DR. More often than not, there's not enough evidence the files are truly in the public domain and they're deleted; sometimes the "debate" continues about whether they should have been deleted. I think you get the picture. :) We hope (talk) 05:31, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Cher

Hi. User Nick-D posted this on en:Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Cher/archive1:

the image licensing in this article is totally unacceptable. I take a fairly non-paranoid attitude towards copyright issues (I think!), but the claim that File:Sonny & Cher Show 1977.JPG is PD because it doesn't have a copyright tag on an ebay listing (posted by an account which gives no indication of being the original creator/owner of the image) seems highly questionable. Ditto File:Sonny and Cher David McCallum Man From Uncle 1967 Cropped.JPG, File:Cher Don Knotts Sonny & Cher Show 1976.JPG, File:Sonny & Cher 1973 Cropped.JPG, File:Sonny and Cher Sonny and Cher Show 1976.JPG, File:Farrah Fawcett Cher 1976.JPG - to sustain a claim that these images were released without any copyright notifications you need verifiable sources which trace directly back to their original owner (eg, if the images were released as part of a press pack which included a written copyright statement I imagine that copyright would still apply. ... File:Sonny and Cher live 1971 Cropped.jpg has a copyright marking on the record company's logo (and Google states that it's 'copyrighted material', for whatever that's worth) so the claim that it was released free of a copyright declaration is questionable.

Is he right? Chercrop (talk) 22:36, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

The mark seen on the Billboard ad is not a "C" in circle, but an "R" in circle for the Kapp logo. The Google markings indicate that the magazine is under copyright, but the ads in it are not, unless they're covered with a copyright mark and notice all their own. There would need to be a copyright notice by Kapp records and there is none on the ad.
"A notice for the collective work will not serve as the notice for advertisements inserted on behalf of persons other than the copyright owner of the collective work. These advertisements should each bear a separate notice in the name of the copyright owner of the advertisement."
The rest of the photos were distributed by the respective networks to news media with no copyright markings on them--they all have an original copy of the front and back of them to prove that, and in some cases, there's a publicity release with the network's logo and information on them.
  • United States Copyright Office page 2 "Visually Perceptible Copies The notice for visually perceptible copies should contain all three elements described below. They should appear together or in close proximity on the copies.
1 The symbol © (letter C in a circle); the word “Copyright”; or the abbreviation “Copr.”
2 The year of first publication. If the work is a derivative work or a compilation incorporating previously published material, the year date of first publication of the derivative work or compilation is sufficient. Examples of derivative works are translations or dramatizations; an example of a compilation is an anthology. The year may be omitted when a pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work, with accompanying textual matter, if any, is reproduced in or on greeting cards, postcards, stationery, jewelry, dolls, toys, or useful articles.
3 The name of the copyright owner, an abbreviation by which the name can be recognized, or a generally known alternative designation of owner.1 Example © 2007 Jane Doe.")
The photos and the ad were published before 1977 and prior to 1978, they had to be marked with copyright notations. This file File:MASH TV cast 1974.JPG was issued by CBS with no copyright marks--front and back of the photo is seen with the CBS tags; it's in a featured article. The same is true with this one File:MASH TV Cast 1972.jpg, in a featured list. They're both licensed the same as the photo files you're asking about. We hope (talk) 23:03, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Fonts can be used by anyone-that has no bearing on copyright. The Joker photo at the link is a different pose and copyrighted by National Periodical Publications. The photo here has no copyright marks, is a different pose and was done by the producers of the series and the film-Greenway Productions.

Carly Simon image

Based on the rationale for tagging and deleting another Carly Simon photo, that it lacked a scan of the reverse side, can you alert me to any new problems if I now have the actual photo and can scan both sides?

Related to the only other photo of her which I noticed was also just deleted, I don't remember whether it stated that a copyright search was done. Do you have access to the original description to check. In any case, since it needed to be registered within five years, and takes only a few seconds to find out, wouldn't it have been easier to search the copyright instead of doing all the other searching for the same images all over the web? Anyway, I just searched for any photos of her registered since 1978 and the closest photo was for Carly Simonize by a car parts company. Is that enough to request undeletion? --Light show (talk) 19:40, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

It was tagged because the problem is accuracy in dating and license choice. If the back has no dating on it, you have to be able to establish when it was published. You can research magazines like Billboard, which is online at Google Books, and link to it but there are some issues missing from their collection, and their search went from great to miserable in the last few months or so.
Only admins can see the files and their former details. You're welcome to go to undeletions and make the request. We hope (talk) 20:18, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. But as the same issue of "publication" was discussed for another publicity photo which you uploaded, and since the Carly Simon photos were published by her recording company, why is it also necessary to prove some magazine printed it? --Light show (talk) 20:33, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
The idea is to get an exact time frame for when it was published, not the idea of publication itself. We hope (talk) 20:50, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Reverse sides of multiple images

As you know, a number of image files, such as File:Richard Belzer.jpg‎, have been tagged for deletion because they did not show the reverse side. I now have a number original photos, including that one, most of which are blank on the back. I'd like your suggestion on how to prove future uploads are blank. I can simply state it, scan it, or hold it up to a mirror so both sides can be seen. Any other ideas? --Light show (talk) 04:21, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

When the back has been blank, I've used the scan of it and other means, like research, to determine time frame, etc. We hope (talk) 14:53, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

For the time being, I have volunteered to operate a MiszaBot clone (running the exact same code). With that said, your input would be appreciated at Commons:Bots/Requests/ArchiveBot 1.

Nice washing of Mala Powers 1955.jpg ;)

Thank you but all I did was to find an unwatermarked copy of this. :) Sometimes those who think watermarks stop copying leave a door open to an unwatermarked copy of the photo; all I did was find it and use it. ;) We hope (talk) 22:23, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

MLK 1958 Arrest

Greetings, We hope! What a nice coincidence that you have uploaded this MLK photo just as I am doing some research that relates to it directly. The photo was taken by photographer Charles Moore, who was then working for the Montgomery Advertiser. Sometimes the photo is credited to "Charles Moore / Black Star" -- Black Star being a photo agency which distributed Moore's work starting in 1962. As far as I can tell, Moore retained the copyright on these photos -- see here for example -- and seemingly never renewed them. (If Black Star ever owned or co-owned the rights, they also did not renew.) The foregoing evidence supports the notion this famous photograph is officially part of the public domain, and suggests that a number of other significant images -- such as this one from the integration of the University of Mississippi -- are fair game for all to use.

Would you have a moment to look at this deletion request? You seem to have some expertise regarding the copyright status of this photographer. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 00:34, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Copyvio

Can you take a look at File:Outsiders TV Preview Commercial.jpg and tell me if it's a copyvio? The uploader's other image was a blatant one, but this is in use, and I don't know much about TV stills. Thanks for your time. INeverCry 08:41, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

That image is truly, truly bizarre! AnonMoos (talk) 16:44, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

When I was a little kid, my dad had an old watch with a radium dial (probably originally my grandfather's), but he knew all about the radium dial painters, and never wore the watch. AnonMoos (talk) 03:23, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm looking for photos of Zephyrettes

We hope,

First of all, thanks so much for the photos of California Zephyr interiors featuring Zephyrettes that you've uploaded over the past couple years (exhibit A and exhibit B). I greatly appreciate both of them.

I'm currently working on a Zephyrette article in my sandbox, and I'm looking for more photos to illustrate it. I know that you do amazing work finding and uploading public domain materials, including plenty related to railroads, so I'm curious if you'd be able to find a few of Zephyrettes or pass along a few tips and tricks about how you do so.

Thanks again, and take care!

About images in Spanish Wikipedia article about Rock in Spain

Hello, Mr. We hope. All the pictures uploaded in the article Rock en España (in spanish Wikipedia) are Public Domain. According to the Spanish Copyright Law, a mere picture (non-artistic image, as a concert or a snapshot) is public domain after 25 years of its creation. Article 128. Title V. Law from April 12 1996. All the images I uploaded are Spanish and they have been taken before 1990, therefore, they are Public Domain. I'd written the text (in spanish) of the Spanish Copyright Law. I repeat it:

Dominio público según la Ley de Propiedad Intelectual española 1/96 de 12 de abril. Título V, artículo 128 "De las meras fotografías"

Texto artículo 128, Título V de la Ley de Propiedad Intelectual Española:

"Protección de las meras fotografías:

Artículo 128. De las meras fotografías

Quien realice una fotografía u otra reproducción obtenida por procedimiento análogo a aquélla, cuando ni una ni otra tengan el carácter de obras protegidas en el Libro I, goza del derecho exclusivo de autorizar su reproducción, distribución y comunicación pública, en los mismos términos reconocidos en la presente Ley a los autores de obras fotográficas.

Este derecho tendrá una duración de veinticinco años computados desde el día 1 de enero del año siguiente a la fecha de realización de la fotografía o reproducción.

Estas fotografías no forman parte de un trabajo artístico, art-book, reportaje o elemento de diseño, tienen más de 25 años y son, por lo tanto, de dominio público.

I repeat: The Spanish Law says that all that pictures don't need permission because all of they are more of 25 years old and are Public Domain ( http://www.boe.es/boe/dias/2014/11/05/pdfs/BOE-A-2014-11404.pdf and https://www.boe.es/diario_boe/txt.php?id=BOE-A-1996-8930 ). The Spanish Law text is the own persmission. In fact, I can't upload pictures for the following sections in article (Spanish Rock in 90's, 2000's, etc) because the law doesn't allow me (the possible pictures of the bands of this era are shot after 1990, so they aren't older than 25). And I respect the law and the rules of Wikimedia Commons. But, I insist: Every picture I've uploaed in the article till now are shot before 1990).

Thanks a lot and greetings from Spain.--Stephen Strange (talk) 20:53, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Sorry if I caused you any extra work by moving this file over to Commons the way I did. There's a lot more involved than I knew. Bede735 (talk) 23:43, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

That gallery you mentioned...

It gets worse, there were a pile of images in a subcategory, so I have merged all 241 into this category. I have also nominated a few more and speedied a couple today. I'm thinking about the promotional/self-promotional nature of all these unused uploads as well as the obvious culling from multiple sources as a pattern. But all in good time, Commons wasn't built in a day. Ellin Beltz (talk) 16:08, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Greetings: In reviewing the images that you mentioned to me the other day, I noticed on the Revision history of "File:Ruby yadav 2014-04-15 08-48.jpg" that OTRS permission was received on the image. Considering the various cameras and styles of the remaining pictures and their presence on (c) website, I'm not 100% certain about anything with this situation anymore. I have replied to the apparent user on my talk page and I'm down with a terrible cold, so if you could keep an eye on that for me for a couple of days I'd be most grateful. I set all the file names in question to a link list to make it a bit easier. Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 08:04, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
User:Ellin Beltz When we started questioning these photos, there was nothing in the way of permission noted on any of them, so it may be a start. ;) Will keep an eye on things and hope you feel better SOON! :) We hope (talk) 14:02, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
