Image:Pallo hautausmaalla.jpg

Hi Samulili, this image Image:Pallo hatausmaalla.jpg is pretty obscure and not very useful when you don't have any description to it. What little is there in Finnish doesn't help most of us. As I don't think User:Tuohirulla who uploaded it is so good in English, maybe you can translate a comment? As so often, I think the relevant info can be found as an image legend on the page where the image was originally used. fi:Kummitus. /Habj 13:29, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Det var ingen föroloämpning. Svenska är inte mitt modersmål och jag är bättre på engelska :) --CSamulili 15:38, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You wondered about the logo - it's just because I am a photographer and I don't like it to be abused. So I put on the wikicommon logo to identify it as the only "common" version. A bigger version is here - join it: Panorama Silvretta.

But - if the "Wikimedia Commons" logo is copyrighted, I will have to delete my photos. Can You give me further informations? - Regards, Mg-k 09:17, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I'm afraid I don't know much about the Wikimedia logos. I think you'd be better off asking in the Village pump. Regards, -CSamulili 10:47, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

PNG --> SVG

I didn't create that image, so it doesn't belong in my gallery. Also, it shouldn't be changed everywhere the PNG image occurs. The PNG image matches with the other PNG images of transistor symbols. Until replacements for all of them are created, don't make them inconsistent. — Omegatron 14:32, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Ok, so you don't want that in your gallery because you didn't make the svg-version. I can understand that. -Samulili 16:01, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Yep. Also, the SVG images don't render the same as the PNGs, so the tables of images look inconsistent. PNGs shouldn't just be replaced en masse as soon as an SVG replacement becomes available. See Commons:Transition_to_SVG#Notes. — Omegatron 22:44, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

And as for your other comment, I wasn't going to reply to it because you blanked it, but I just want to make it clear that policy is to not delete such images. (If they are exact duplicates, they have been orphaned, and the image being deleted doesn't contain any information required for licensing, it's ok, but still recommended against.) For instance, if Image:fooB.png is a derivative work of Image:fooA.png, and fooA has history, you can't delete fooA. You have to replace it with the red X image, as described in Category:redundant. In general, duplicate images should not be deleted ever, to err on the side of caution, since deletion is permanent. I've seen someone else rampantly trying to orphan and delete images, and it's a trend with the potential for great harm. — Omegatron 16:39, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Florence

Indeed; the pages are under the right categories. Do you propose to create a category for each page? If you have a look the way we've organized the cat and pages of italian cities, you'll note that each page is reachable under the proper category; categories are intended to group categocies and pages. Thanks for your comprehension, --mac 11:05, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

The pages are well selected and truly deserve a place in Commons. Therefore, they are also a good basis for categorization. I find it natural that when images on a subject X are in page X and in category cat:X and cat:X is in a supercategory (say, cat:Firenze) that the page X is also in cat:X. Otherwise the supercategory would have to links to images on X: link to page X and link to cat:X. -Samulili 11:13, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

But this way as a result we'll have a category for each page, and I don't find it so natural. We prefer to group pages of similar content under a super category: i.e Firenze will contain a category churches of florence, bridges as florence , etc..., and pages that are, let's say, "singular". At the moment florence as not so many pages, but have a look to category Roma, and you'll find the way we're categorizing. Moreover consider that there is a page dedicated to florence; photos that aren't so many to form a page, are shown in the city's page, like the ones of the english cimitery in florence. We're doing so, also to find out easly new photos in order to link them to the right pages on it.wikipedia. So, will you consider to adehre to a standard (not so far from what you were intending to do) we're working since one year or more, and is giving good results? Thanks, --mac 12:09, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

The problem is that your system is not the standard. It goes straight against the rules in Commons:Category with results that are no better than that of using categories. See for example, Category:Turku -Samulili 12:39, 13 April 2006 (UTC) I take that back. The rules are not quite the way I remember them. The Florence-style is OK for me. -Samulili 12:51, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Bildlizenzen

Ich habe es mir zur Aufgabe gemacht Bilder sehr schlechter Qualität zu verbessern. Nach der Bearbeitung lade ich sie unter gleichem Namen hoch. Es hat aber keinen Sinn mich auf fehlende Bildlizenzen hinzuweisen. Danach musst Du Dich bei dem Nutzer erkundigen, der die Originalversion hochgeladen hat. -- ArtMechanic 12:56, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Welcome log tips

Hey Samulili, I noticed you are helping out on the Welcome log. Thanks a lot!!! We really appreciate it. It is hard work. :)

Here are some tips:

• Install MediaWiki:Quick-delete.js (see the talk page for how). It will give you the ability to "mark as no source/no license and warn uploader" with one click!
• When you mark images for deletion (such as logos "{{Copyvio}}"), it is a good idea to tell the uploader what they have done wrong and ask them to read Commons:Licensing and ask questions at the Commons:Help desk. Otherwise if they come back and their image is just gone they may not realise they have done anything wrong. The earlier we warn them the better.
• If someone only has one image uncategorised, I would usually just categorise it myself with a edit summary like "please categorise your images so others can find them!". But it's up to you, giving them {{Please link images}} is fine too. (better than neither)
• If you can, please try to use a meaningful edit summary (pretend the user is checking their watchlist - including the phrase "or this image may be deleted" should make them pay attention :)) - "subst:nsd" is extremely cryptic.

But it looked like you were doing a great job. Thanks again :)

cheers, pfctdayelise (translate?) 14:37, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words and useful advice.

1. I think I have installed the js-file User:Samulili/monobook.js. What should it look like to me, how should it work?

2. Indeed a good idea. To make it easier, I made this proposition at Template talk:Copyvio

3. You're quite right. I wasn't thinking much, was I?

4. If it's not very inappropriate, I think I'll speed things up by just pasting what I have in my clipboard. After all, the admins will understand and the user should get a notice to their talk page.

Samulili 12:57, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

For Quick-delete, it looks right. Do you get the extra links on the left in the toolbox when on an image page? Using it will also put good edit summaries.

Also for 4, I don't know what browser you use, but I use FF 1.5.0.4 and it can "remember" values I've typed before (Tools > Options > Privacy > Saved forms > tick "Save info") so I just type one or two letters, then my long edit summary pops up and I don't have to type the whole thing. Probably IE has a similar thing, if you use that. cheers, pfctdayelise (translate?) 22:34, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Re [2] - Please kindly reconsider your vote. Thanks. — Instantnood 19:53, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Regarding Image:BYwork.jpg

The photograph is in public domain and I scanned it myself. Scarlight 11:10, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Short notice: An own scan never generates own copyright (lack of originality). Regarding the PD-anonymous thing in old Palestine. I am feeling a little bit unconfortable with that PD-anon from 1910-1920 as we have in many places in Commons a more conservative rule that PD-anon is assumed 100 years after anon publication.

Hello. Congratulations. You are now a Wikimedia Commons administrator and you now can place {{user admin}} on your user page. Don't loose the fun with these admin rights. ;-) If you have any questions for example on deletion guidelines just ask me (I am as well on IRC in #wikipedia-de oder #wikimedia-commons channel most of the time). By the way Category:Against policy and Category:Unknown need urgently some help on reducing the number of copyvios awaiting their deletion. ;-) Have fun, Arnomane 09:53, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Hallo Samulili, kannst du mir die norwegische Löschbegündung zum Bild:Vigeland stampvoetend jochie.jpg übersetzen? Ich habe nämlich auch noch einige Fotos aus dem Vigelandpark die ich hochladen wollte. Deshalb währe es für mich wichtig die norwegischen Urheberrechte zu kennen. Vielen Dank im Voraus (bitte hier antworten) --Jom 12:17, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Here is the translation in English:

§ 24. Works of art and photographic works which form part of a collection or which are exhibited or offered for sale may be depicted in catalogues of the collection and in announcements of the exhibition or sale.

Works of art and photographic works may also be depicted when they are permanently located in or near a public place or thoroughfare. However, this shall not apply when the work is clearly the main motif and the reproduction is exploited commercially.

Buildings may be freely depicted.

Why you deleted my image?

Hi, I'm user Superori

Yesterday you deleted the image JamesPeris.jpg for reason that this image has copyright.

Why you think that this image has a copyright? I upload this image with a GNU licence and I'm sure that this image hasn't a copyright because this image was created by me.

Please, tell me what criteria do you use to think that some images are copyrighted.

Template:Deletion_requests#Image:21july-london-bombings-suspect1.jpg

Hello. You deleted 4 images unrder this heading according to wn:Wikinews:CommonsTicker. A couple of notes:

• deletion request images should always be unlinked.
• closed deletion requests should not be immediately archived because it makes them harder to find. (where is this debate now? I can't find it.)
• it's better to refer to the date of nomination in the deletion reason, because then it will be easy to find the nomination in the archives, rather than if you link to template:deletion requests which always changes, then it will be hard.

cheers, pfctdayelise (translate?) 23:16, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Ok. I wasn't thinking very clearly over my frustration about the size of that template. But do you mean that deletion request images should be unlinked from other projects. I thought these were "critical". -Samulili 08:50, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Hm... COM:DG is not very clear but I believe deletion requests should be unlinked. If we can discuss them up for up to 5 weeks I think they're not very critical...hm I have a feeling I discussed it with Arnomane somewhere but it is not written in any of the policy pages. Well I guess it's up to you then. My personal preference is always to unlink. As more and more projects get CommonsTickers, I hope we will have less and less unlinking to do. Thanks for helping on that page, it is a huge pain! pfctdayelise (translate?) 11:31, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

You have a good point there. I've started removing links from other projects (excluding wikinews whose pages are protected). -Samulili 11:44, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Please restore Image:Lion snarling.jpg

Hello,

You incorrectly deleted Image:Lion snarling.jpg without first correcting links to it, e.g. on en.wiktionary. Please reply on my talk page there, wikt:User talk:Connel MacKenzie. Thanks in advance,

--Connel MacKenzie 14:35, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

(I have to reply here because your user page seems to be locked in en-wikt.) Thank you for your note. En-wikt links to that image had been removed before I got there. However, wihtout your note, the image would still be lingering in many other projects, and although correcting those links is not required in the case when an image is against Commons policies, I was still happy to orphan this one. -Samulili 17:22, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, yes my talk page was protected during a vandalism flurry. Replies here are appreciated - I'm glad to hear that you are using CheckUsage properly for this sort of thing. It is much nicer to all the sister projects involved. P.S. Where can I lobby against the policy you refer to above? (The policy that says it is ever OK to just delete an image, without de-linking it first, that is.) --Connel MacKenzie 22:18, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Village pump would be the place. But now with CommonsTicker, I doubt your suggestion would gain much support. -Samulili 09:16, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

That is your opinion, which you are certainly free to hold. But mine is that CommonsTicker makes the abuses of not running CheckUsage and orphaning images first, more obvious. Image deletion remains highly disruptive to sister projects, with or without CommonsTicker.

And thank you for that reminder about my wikt: talk page. It has been unprotected again (even though replies right here are better for this.) --Connel MacKenzie 16:24, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Commons-l subscription

Hello Samulili,

as per Commons talk:Administrators, I am asking all admins to subscribe to commons-l, a mailing list for Wikimedia Commons policy and project discussion. Since many admins are only on Commons infrequently, this is a good way to alert people about important happenings. The mailing list is nominally multilingual, but predominantly English.

If you are already subscribed to commons-l, I apologize for bothering you, and you are free to ignore this message. If you don't want to use your regular e-mail account, feel free to leave me a message, and I can send you a GMail invite. Traffic on the mailing list is relatively low, and we do not expect admins to read all messages to the list, but it would be nice if you could check on it at least every few weeks. Thanks for your time,--Eloquence 23:11, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Kathryn Holloway Image deletion question

Hi, I see you deleted Image:Kathryn Holloway.jpg which was used in Wikipedia:Kathryn Holloway. I uploaded the image to Commons, as a copy at Wikipedia:Image:ScottK2.jpg, which the photographer (not me) had uploaded. Could you let me know the reason for deletion (or point me to the relevant discussion)? If there's something wrong with it, then the one still at Wikipedia should also be deleted (fairuse is not being claimed). Also, the Commons article/gallery Kathryn Holloway should be deleted, since there was only the one image in it. --Rob 18:51, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you for asking. En-wikipedia has a license {{GFDL-presumed}} which that image uses. In Commons, we have decided that the license is not accepted. I also want to thank you for pointing out that page, I had not noticed it before. -Samulili 05:37, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Picture deleted

Hi Samulili,

You've just deleted the image shown recently under the link : http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Big_sheep.jpg

I'm a little bit surprized because on the 16th of July I sent a message to info-en at wikimedia.org in order to clear the copyright status of this creation. Please note that I didn't upload myself this work. Here my message :

Hi,

I've just seen the creation which is shown here : http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Big_sheep.jpg

There is a question about its copyright status. This work is released under the "free art license" : http://artlibre.org/licence/lal/en/ This license is quite similar to the cc-by-sa.

The creation comes from a project that Regina Celia Pinto (Brazil) and myself developed about one year ago. The project is called "bigsheep" and can be found under the following adress (just scroll down to find the picture) : http://bigsheep.blogspot.com

So I think I've cleared the question of the copyright status. If you want to know more : just ask me !

So I would like to have your comments.

Waiting for your answer.

Best regards.

Isabel

The image page had the following information:

A imagem faz parte do acervo de criações coletivas do Projeto BIG Sheep. As autoras responsáveis pelo projeto são Regina Célia Pinto e Isabel Saij.

I will restore it and I hope you will add the required information using the {{Information}} template. Best regards. -Samulili 12:46, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, saw you deleted Image:Imperia sanremo.jpg. I restored it because it was tagged, after an anonymous edit had deleted the license info. Not really your fault but anyway just wanted to let you know. NielsF 15:12, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Image:Harry_Potter-_Narcissa_Black.jpg

Ah, this whole copyright thing is giving me a headache! Concerning this picture, you removed the copyright that I uploaded it as and replaced it with a lack of information. While the picture is not my own work, the author posts her pictures online and says on her FAQ page that her pictures can be used as long as they are cited (For some reason the site is down now but the original response to the question of use is quoted under permission). Furthermore, I made sure and emailed her to ensure permission. I explained the situation, then said:

I assume from your FAQ that this isn't a problem. I uploaded it under Creative

Common Attribution 2.5 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/),

which is basically "free for use as long as one credits the author."

If you do not want your sketch there or would like to change something

then you can go ahead and delete/change it yourself (or tell me to).

To which the original author answered:

Ahh! Awesome! :D Of course you can use it :) Thanks for the heads up!

So basically, since the author of the picture has agreed to this, what needs to be done to make the use of the image acceptable? Crito2161 03:17, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Template:Deletion requests#Image:Farben logo.jpg

Please stop repeating these claims made by the "copyright for designs" lobby. These things are not protected by copyright. I have explained the situation at length, please be rational and don't claim the contrary just because your subjective feeling is different—this feeling is wrong. Legislation wants only a limited protection for designs since if they would be protected 70 pma and without registration, that would essentially kill the design industry. If you properly register your design and pay for it, you can get a limited design patent protection for a few years. --Rtc 14:33, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Honestly, I must say that I find it rather disturbing that you unilateraly decided to delete an image on the grounds that the copyright situation not is clear. For another time I hope that you will give the time to discuss a proposed image and investigate the comprehensive sets of regulations applied. Bertilvidet 11:54, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I uploaded the picture since it has a Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike License v. 2.5. It available here. I believe you put the right lincense now Bertilvidet? --Mandavi 13:13, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Let's discuss. But the image is a derivative work and free use is not allowed. -Samulili 08:04, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Rather than attackıng one single image, may I suggest that you raise your concerns at a more general level for instance at Commons_talk:Derivative_works#Political_advertisements Bertilvidet 11:04, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

color bars for photographs.

Commons:Village_pump#Photographers.2F_Color_accurate_folks-_your_opinions.3F

You seem to understand color management and are interested in color accuracy.

We have some photographs of objects where the colors are so innacurate that it is laughable (eg. paintings). As a suggestion for people interested in taking the time to produce a highly color accurate photograph, I have suggested that we have a page suggesting use of a standard color bar target within the photo itself.

I wonder if you would be willing to contribute any thoughts to this. -Mak 18:55, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Image:Flag of Italy.svg

Despite what User:Zscout370 may have told you there have never been consensus on the color of the italian flag. I promoted a discussion on the italian village pump and it turned out that 13 people out of 15 prefer to use #FFFFFF as white and don't consider the pantone color to be appliable to the digital image.

Could you revert to the other version? Could you also reverse the related flags? There is some other way I can try if you refuse (excluded bitching on en:wikitruth.info:)?

Bye and thanks, Paulatz 17:51, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

P.S. You may answer here

I think you should do like Deusentrieb suggested in Village pump: have two versions of the flag. I don't see a difference between the two version, I don't even know which version I have locked to. I really have no interest in anything but stopping the endless reverting. -Samulili 18:26, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

This is wrong. People on national wikipedias expect Flag of Italy.svg to be the best representation of the Flag of the Italian Republic. Having two files is not the optimal solution.--FlagUploader 01:37, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I think of several other national flags having more than one version, such as South Korea and Japan. They mostly involved on if a border should exist on the flag or not (I say no borders). User:Zscout370 ^{(Return fire)} 05:07, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Ok, we can have two versions, but I (and most of the italian commoners) would prefer to have white in the "default" version, I promise we will create a "Printable Flag of Italy.svg" using the pantone colors. Paulatz 06:56, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Samuli,
why you deleted Image:Madrid-MetroLogo.png? Yes, of course, I know that is the official logo of the Madrid metro. But this logo is too simple that it can be copyrighted (see also Template:pd-ineligible). Therefore I would restore the image, okay? Greetings from Berlin --Jcornelius 23:17, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

i found the source in the deleted description page in german wikipedia. it's a pity that this information was not included in the commons description page. In this case it was good, that you didn't remove the image from the various pages.

Jean Sibelius

Hi. I see you tagged a picture of Jean Sibelius as derivative. Is there a reason you didn"t tag all of them? --Bdamokos 22:36, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I didn't tag other images because I just happened to come accross this single one and I wasn't looking for anything more.

The laws outlined in Commons:Derivative works how do affect my right to publish a picture in Hungary that eg. under Suomi law would be copyrighted in Finland? Please answer at my talk page at my Hungarian talk page or here. --Bdamokos 22:36, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I really know very little about international copyright. But the way I understand it, is that when you operate in country X, you only have to care about the lwas of country X. -Samulili 19:34, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Follow up question: it writes at the derivative page, that I couldn't publish a photo of a building in Hungary, does this mean the photo of any building published in Hungary, or a photo of a building located in Hungary? And for my previous question("The laws outlined in Commons:Derivative works how do affect(...)) substitute Hungary with a country with more liberal laws than Finnland.--Bdamokos 22:41, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Image:Teneriffe,Queensland1.JPG

Hello. You recently deleted the image at Image:Teneriffe,Queensland1.JPG. I didn't realise that there was a source problem as I don't usually log into commons unless I'm uploading a picture. I do most of my editing at Wikipedia. I'm still a bit bemused as to why there was a source problem as my edit description on the log page contains the text "Source: Own work. Photo taken by User:Adz on 7 November." This suggests to me that I included that text on the photo page itself. I was wondering whether it would be possible for you to un-delete the photo, and if there is still a problem with the source info then perhaps I could fix it up. If not, I'll upload it again. (please reply on my talk page, or better yet, on my wikipedia talk page). cheers -- Adz 01:17, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I am happy to license under GFDL. Thanks for restoring the picture. I appreciate it. -- Adz 08:05, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Dupe deletion

Yeah, I run CheckUsage before deleting dupes, and orphan apropriately in other projects. With #34 I certainly did orphan it as best I could (this edit on es.wiki [4]). I think the only remaining use of the image is on the German Wikipedia on de:Diskussion:Israel. However, Toolserver seems broken at the moment (for me) so I cannot check for any other usage (I may have missed some). As that talk page is protected, I couldn't remove it or think of an appropriate place to leave a message. As it was only that usage I couldn't deal with and the harm to de.wp was low (it was only on a talk page after all), I felt that the deletion was probably OK; though I'll bear it in mind if it isn't...--Nilfanion 13:13, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Re Image:Waha JPG00q.jpg

You quoted [5]. But what does this mean? He made this edit after I had written to him on his talk page. Does he want Image:Waha JPG00q.jpg deleted? And why has he uploaded so many copies of it in the last days?

Again, I would appreciate it very much, if you can clarify these issues.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob

Hi ! I just noticed that you deleted Image:Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.jpg. I looked at the deletion log and saw the deletion reason was the "no source" tag. However, one of the users of the image in es:wiki just told me that the image was properly marked with source and licence since months ago. Could you please help me understand if this image was ok, or the august 7th tag was right? In advance thanks! --Sergio 15:13, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi! The image was marked with license cc-by-sa-2.5. The link that was given as a source was a right one: http://www.iss.it/rncj/dati/cont.php?id=2&lang=1&tipo=4 . However, the website of Istituto Superiore di Sanità, claims copyright on its contents (© - Istituto Superiore di Sanità). It does allow its content to be used if the source is cited [6] but doesn't mention that it is allowed to make derivative works or use the images commercially. I hope that my decision seems justified, but if you can provide more information, I'll be glad to listen to what you have to say (my Italian is very bad so I may not understand everything on the ISS site). Regards, Samulili 15:41, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

thanks for the prompt answer, I'll pass it onto the user on es:wiki, who was the person dealing with the licensing with the ISS. Regards! --Sergio 19:36, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

It just dawned to me, but the person should use OTRS and email templates. -Samulili 16:43, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Date: 13.08.2006

Author: c.w.

Permission: GFDL

This picture was declared as GDFL (non-ambiguous) and you did delete it anyway! It has induced a furious discussion in the german Wikipedia. Wikimedia has lost an author therefore.

Tagore3.jpg

I noticed that you deleted Tagore3.jpg. Actually, the image is in public domain as it is a pre-1946 (i.e. 60 year old) photo. I can provide you the sources of the photo.

The image was used in all across wikipedia, especially in a lot of featured articles. I request you to restore the image, I can provide the source and licensing tags. If you do a check usage, you'd see that 20+ wikipedias used this photo for the Rabindranath Tagore pages.

Thanks. --Ragib 20:15, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Arbitrary deletetion

Samulili, what was this Image:Pt-coimbra-sevelha1.jpg all about? I'm the author of the image, I've fotographed myself. Even if not, it would have been User:Saninha, which is the same, for pratical matters. I really doubt that the image lacked any information. Could you explain to me what has happened, since I can't view the deleted revisions? 84.90.1.109 20:34, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm glad to here from you. I had some questions about that image and I hope we can now answer them. From my persspective, the image was uploaded by User:Nuno Tavares. S/he had marked the image with {{GFDL}} and attributed it to User:Saninha. I tried to look for confirmation and I asked which local project the image came from and I even tried to look for it myself; but I didn't get an answer and I couldn't find traces of the image from other projects. That is why I ended up marking the image with {{No source since}} and that is how it got deleted 3 months later.

I hope that you could answer these open questions and then I can bring back the image. I might have already done it, but I didn't quite understand when you wrote: "I'm the author of the image, I've fotographed myself. Even if not, it would have been User:Saninha, which is the same, for pratical matters." With kind regards, Samulili 08:29, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of FAB images under Agência Brasil licence

I have replied to your arguments on Commons:Deletion_requests/FAB_images.

deletion of out-of-copyright images

I had uploaded en:Image:Smyrne_Group_of_Gypsy.jpg, identifying it as a photograph dating to 1904, thus {{PD-old}}. It was later moved to commons. You have recently deleted it here. Now the articles on en-wiki are left with broken links. This is frustrating, since I didn't upload the image to commons in the first place, and I do not entertain a watchlist here. Isn't this copyright paranoia? It was obvious from the photograph that it dated to ca. 1900, and even if we didn't know the photographer's name and address, there was no reason to doubt the 1904 date. en:User:Dbachmann 06:40, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Nice to meet you. I noticed a week or two that the image of Posidonius was missing from the Wikipedia article about him, and I finally figured out how to trace it back to the deletion. I put this image on the Commons, and as far as I can find out it is in the public domain. I'd like to put the image back, but I did not understand the reason you deleted it.

Maps

Hi I reverted again the changes you made for one precise reason: My map is far from being perfect but is way better than this Image:Suomen-maakunnat-template.png. This one is completely outdated (something like 2000) and does not take any account of the most recent border changes of maakunnat, like the merger of Kangaslampi to Varkaus, the shift of Punkalaidun from Satakunta to Pirkanmaa, ans even the old merger of Kuorevesi to Jämsä (dating back from 2001 !). I also forget many other details... I do not wish to correct all the maps of Finland (it's too long and not needed enough at that time), but please check those precise points with an updated map before reverting again.

Getting sloppy are we? :P I upload images at flickr by default as by-sa-2.0 (have been thinking of dropping the share-alike though). Saw that Image:Foggy Aura river.jpg and Image:Suomen Joutse, Sigyn.jpg (<- typo) was uploaded here under by-2.0. I've uploded under creative commons licenses since July.

I certainly don't mind having them here, was only a bit surprised to see the license change (but as I said, I'm thinking about dropping the SA part, will edit these too in that case).

Hi, Samulili. You deleted Image:CNT-armoured-car-factory.jpg, and I think it should be restored. It was taken between 1936-1939 (Spanish Civil War). The Spanish copyright law states that:

• According to the present Spanish Law, the Intellectual Property Rights of the authors of simple photographs will last for 25 years starting from the 1st of January of the year after the photograph or reporduction has been taken.
  • "Simple photographs" are those which represent reality as it is without any creative or intellectual effort

Verbascum thapsus

Hi Samulili,

according to the log, you deleted Image:Verbascum thapsus bloem.jpg because it had been listed as an Images with unknown source.

No criticism, but a few questions: <first two questions withdrawn, i already found that i should have been notified but someone seems to have forgotten>

• What counts as a valid license tag? Yes, I know the pages about these, I always say "I release this image under GFDL" or such. Should that be sufficient? for example, Image:Viola pubescens 060519.PNG is listed as having no valid license tag, while the description does mention it was released under GFDL.

kind regards,

Hi! This image had only the following information:

in the series our garden
{{no license|month=June|day=19|year=2006}}

And yes, who ever marked it with nld, should have informed you. I'll restore it so you can add what ever information is required. -Samulili 19:25, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much! You do even more than I asked. I added the information which I seem to have forgotten on upload. I trust it's ok this way? TeunSpaans 22:10, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

One more question: I tagged Image:GIV de FB1.gif for deletion, and when I warned its uploader, I copied a previous message, but I am sure there is a template I can substitute. Do you happen to know which template? TeunSpaans 22:10, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome. If I understood your question correctly, you can paste the text which in the {{No source since}} template, in this case {{subst:image source|Image:GIV de FB1.gif}} ~~~~. -Samulili 22:20, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Its a fine job you are doing there, but how are you unlinking the images? With a tool? --Cat out 17:17, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm not. When there's so much backlog, I prioritize and trust in CommonsTicker. -Samulili 17:19, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi,

This user is mass-uploading images taken from http://photocity.ru/about.php.

He publishes the pix under {{CC-BY-SA}}, but the source only mentions {{CC-BY-NC-SA}}. I have put a message on the talk page of User talk:Panther, but he indicates he has virtually no knowledge of English. As you are both a sysop and have some knowledge of Russian, could you please take over?

thanks in advance,

TeunSpaans 19:59, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

???? Really, my bot don't knows English very well :)))). I've answered on my talk page, this problem will be resolved in a short time. --Panther 20:26, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Image Linking

I was uploading the images so I can post them on the Portuguese version of Wikipedia. I had already uploaded them on the English version, but I will soon be deleting those and replace them with the commons version. Thanks for your concern, but as you can see, the majority of my pics are now linked to wiki articles, and the ones that aren't are because I am currently working on the article, such as translating, etc.

Thanks. Charlesblack 16:00, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

haha, oh.... Thanks! Charlesblack 22:55, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

deleted picture

Hi Samulili,

a few weeks ago my jpg-Picture in the german Wikipedia article "Phoniatrie" named "Image:Karte Phoniater Deutschland.jpg" was deleted. I could not find out why. It was a self-created MS-Powerpoint-file, converted to jpg. I was authorized by our scientific organisation of the german phoniatrician for publishing. I'am not very used to work with Wikipedia, but I tried to fill the license form as good as I know und titulated our society as the source of origin. As it was very much work for me to upload the file, it would be very nice to help me re-organizing the upload and to reverse the deletion.

Thanks for Your help

Please answer to my discussion site or give there a hint, where I can find Your answer.

The image had the following information:

== Beschreibung ==
Karte mit in Deutschland tätigen Mitgliedern der DGPP
Autor: Vorstand der DGPP
http://www.dgp.org
== Licensing ==
{{self2|GFDL|cc-by-sa-2.5,2.0,1.0}}

It was marked for possible deletion by User:Gildemax. You can ask him for more information, but I see the following problems with the image:

1. The author is said to the Board of directors (Vorstand) of DGPP. However, the license claims that you made the image. Furthermore, a collective body, such as a Board, is unlikely to be the author of the map.
2. A website address is given. When one corrects it to http://www.dgpp.org one gets to website but it is not easy to find the image. Therefore it is impossible to verify that DGPP has released it as GFDL and cc-by-sa.

I can bring the image back for you, but I would need to know if you also drew the map of Germany which is the basis of the map. With kind regards, Samulili 12:52, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Samulili,

I contacted again the president of the German society of Phoniatricians und Pedaudiologists, Professor Eberhard Kruse in Goettingen, faculty of medicine of the universtity of Goettingen, Germany (ekruse@med.uni-goettingen.de). He created the picture by itself, using a Microsoft Powerpoint pattern with the map of Germany, adding himself the locations of phoniatricians. He pleased me to post this map in the article. My work was to transform this Powerpoint sheet to an jgp-File.

I thought the link to www.dgpp.org should lead only to the organisation as verification, but You are right, this map is not published there. It's puplished nowhere. So I think, it's the best way to name Kruse as the author (in his function of the president of the society). Could You please help me in the way of correcting the declaration and bring back the map? I fear to get the most things again wrong!

Thanks a lot

Kosmonaut images

I'm removing because there isn't request reasons out there. And the requests are aburds the images are public domain from russia space program. And you are right now deleting images and you can't do that by yourself. You deleted without discussion abusing your administator position. Machocarioca 21:05, 17 December 2006 (UTC)Machocarioca

Reasons were given. If you don't agree with them, you explain why. -Samulili 12:41, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Image delete request

Could you please delete previous version of Image:Refugees family Identity.jpg? I mistakenly uploaded it. --Hayk 21:57, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

I do not know who did that, but thanks. --Hayk 22:05, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

problem of copyright authorization

I admit that the OTRS system is a bit unflexible. I don't doubt your sincerity, so I would like to propose something easier, but I just don't what that would be – it would have to convince other current and future administrators as well. A solution, which is not very easy but it is possible, is that you get the permission in writing, scan it and send it to OTRS. I will try to think of easier ways to handle this bureaucracy but I'm not sure I will come up with anything else. -Samulili 22:32, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

The problem I notice in such a case is that it would be easier for me to cheat by writing, signing and scanning by myself the form which would authorize me to publish the photo...
And I'm not sure it would be the right way...
An other easy solution would be to include this photo (and all the items with suche problems) on my web site (whithout any copyright mention) and next to allow me (!) to upload it on commons !
But, in this case too, I'm not sure to respect the spirit of the rules...
The last solution, is to delete the photo and all the photos for which I (and other users) don't have copyrights authorization.Davric 09:06, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Antonio_Maria_da_Silva.jpg

I transferred the image from the English language Wikipedia [7], but I found the image published in most of the Portuguese press of the fall of 1925 (when the person was Prime Minister) without indication of author. That qualifies as a public domain image. Thank you for the warning. Angrense 00:57, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
