French police

Dear Thuresson,

regarding the French Polce sign that seams to have gotten deleted. (I was in X-mas-hollidays and now noticed it.) Actually I got it from http://www.prefecture-police-paris.interieur.gouv.fr and have no idea wether or not it falls under any GNU-licence. What I do know is, that it is identical to one that I took as image of a French police car's door. Yet, the one at the door hat a white background (since the French police cars are off white basic color).

I'm writing you, since I'm the new guy here at WIKIPEDEA. And I had used that image in some articles even though it says not used in any articles (what I don't understand actually).

In addition to that, I do not want to have any trouble here, WIKIPEDEA is too great for that) by just up-loading the image again to again include it in the articles it was included. Thus I have to ask for help: what do you suggest, how to proceed?

Regards,—Janetzky 06:58, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Image:Hallgrimskirkja transposed.jpg

Hi, what is the intended use of this photo? Thuresson 10:50, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I transposed it for an article regarding transposition (mathematical concept) on the Icelandic Wikipedia. The only other transposed picture I found on Commons wasn't as "clear" regarding how transposition works, and I thought Icelandic readers might appreciate something they recognized. --Spm 13:46, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

re: Template:Deletion requests#Polish scouting badges

Please do not discuss the request in Polish. Thuresson 17:12, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Why not? ¦ Reisio 02:39, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Maybe because not all involved users and Admins are able to understand polish language? --Denniss 17:39, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

So? They can ignore it or take 30 seconds to find an online Polish translator. It's idiotic to have a Commons where only English is allowed - people may as well stick to the local Wikipedias for their images. Following Commons:Language policy (which follows common sense, IMO) I wish people would not discourage the use of languages other than English. Commons:Deletion requests affects all of us regardless of the languages we can articulate in. ¦ Reisio 00:46, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

None of the polish-speaking administrators are active on Commons:Deletion requests. It is very difficult for administrators who don't understand Polish to decide what to do with a request if they can't understand the arguments for or against keeping the file. Thuresson 00:38, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Archiving deletion requests

Hi, I appreciate that somebody wants to archive old request. May I suggest that you wait a little longer before archiving finished requests? I like to add "Deleted by Thuresson" + the blue background to requests dealt with by me. Thuresson 13:27, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Sure. I'll wait till you are finished doing those before archiving. Keep in mind that I will directly archive obvious copyvio/speedy deletes. Oh, you might be interested in helping me out on this by the way. -- WB 04:07, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

engraving or etching?

In fact, I'm not sure because I don't know exactly what is difference between these two terms in English. Original image is descibed in German as "Stich". Pko 15:18, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing that. I uploaded more graphics and have to correct them also. Pko 10:49, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Template:PD-Art in french

Hi,
I don't understand why did you delete the french translation. Have you created a french version to use instead ?
--Fabos 13:53, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

If there should be French in template, why not other languages? Why not German, Spanish, Polish, Italian and Klingon too? Why not Norwegian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Urdu och Farsi too? Why not Gaelic, Sami, Xhosa, Thai and Gujarati? Why not Chinese, Japanese, Maori and any other language you can think of? Thuresson 21:23, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

You're right. Please translate in Spanish, polish, sami, maori and so on... It will be useful for all those that don't speak english. --Fabos 13:38, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Bridges in the Catalan Countries

About this topic I had a conversation with the person who created the category. The point of disagreement about this category was due to the different interpretations we had of the word "country". I actually would not enjoy beginning an edit war with this topic. So, if someone consider this category necessary, I rather would leave it to stay, eventhough I still prefer "Bridges in Catalunya". Regards. --Javier Carro 15:17, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

I have deleted this category and set it for watch. The vote on December 21 was for deletion and circumstances have not changed. If necessary we will reopen debate. I don't know what's wrong with Category:Bridges in Catalonia. Cary "Bastique" Bass ^parler _voir 14:42, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

What do you think we should do with Template:Deletion_requests#Image:AgassiBackhand.gif? I realize Jimbo has the powers, but if the copyrights are correct... I need your opinion. -- WB 07:24, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Re:source

thank you for notice. In effect I charged thoose images from itwiki images database. Three of images that you say me are in effect made in Italy (i'm going to write this) but I'm not sure about Image:ADRIANO PANATTA.jpg. If you give me some times I am going to find the source. --RED DEVIL 666 12:29, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

I find the source. Thanks for the attension :-) --RED DEVIL 666 12:36, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

I was gone to speak with italian uploader that say me that the photo was made in Italy. If it can't be made thoose phot must be delected, but if we don't trust it the wikipedians, isn't good for the project. --RED DEVIL 666 07:18, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

I asked more expications to uploadre of itwiki and give me other notice on the photos. If isn't ok, pleas recall me. :-) --RED DEVIL 666 07:39, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

The source is writed in the category of image: Category:Prime ministers of France. But David Monniaux say me to expect to modified this image and leave template of Publication ufficielle because he send an e.mail to french gov. --RED DEVIL 666 06:51, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I rollback my change and put your version. I saw this morning your notice, and I thought that was a my upload. But this image was charged by another user. I don't know the license, sorry. And sorry for my mistake. --RED DEVIL 666 16:20, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry, I know the law. I charged thoose image from itwiki and enwiki. All thoose images was tagged Publication officielle (but after david say me that this definition is probably a mistake) and the image that you say me was signed with Publication officielle. Probably this tag on enwiki was a mistake too and I was inducted in a mistake by enwiki image. Sorry --RED DEVIL 666 13:35, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

President of Poland pics

Why did you mark Image:Presidents of Visegrad group.jpg for deletion? The source is given in the template - the website of the President of Poland. Ausir 17:40, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, the copyright info is there in Polish, it's copyright free use. The president has changed and this is a photo of the previous president, so you'd probably have to dig harder to find it on the website now. Ausir 20:21, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

OK, give me a link to the copyright info and I will take a look. Thuresson 20:23, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Someone removed the summary from this page. I've reverted it. A source was once added to this page by an uploader. Adnghiem501 00:33, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

I've re-uploaded the image that you deleted. It had a source added to this page before, somehow some user had removed the source for no reason. It looks like s/he vandalised the page in that action. However, I suggest you should probably have remembered to check the history of this page before deletion. Otherwise, semi-protect this page to prevent from vandalism. Thanks. Adnghiem501 00:29, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Please use my talk page on the English Wikipedia instead, since I made a redirect of my talk page in the WikiCommons that could link there. I've transferred your comments (you placed on my redir talk page) there. Thanks. Adnghiem501 00:04, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Image:Evolution-tasks.png

Hi, could you restore the Evolution task image, rather than the Kate image? Lots of pages actually use this for the Evolution image; the Kate image can go elsewhere, I'm sure. Matt Crypto 07:59, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Do you have a version available with a proper license and a credible source who can verify the license? Thuresson 14:16, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

It's part of Evolution, and is GPL. Matt Crypto 15:41, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, your kindness in replying (and your help) is much appreciated. I had read the link you suggested but not all the details are totally clear when you first join. I did upload a couple of copyright free images which have not been erased and I'm sure I will become increasingly less of a nuisance in the coming weeks and months. Thanks again.

Hi Thuresson. I think this user speaks Swedish, as all their images are being used in sv:. I want to ask if you can please ask this user to provide source information and categories for the images they've already uploaded, before uploading any more. Maybe their understanding of Commons policy isnot very good. Probably the sources should be checked as well, because I just deleted two copyvios they uploaded from en: (where they were clearly marked as copyrighted).

Hm. They do claim copyright on [2], too—that's the link given in Template:UN map. Furthermore, Image:Mbini.PNG isn't a modified map, is it?? And it still makes refernce to the UN in the caption in the upper right corner. Lupo 11:43, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Please see ChrisO's talk page: en:User:ChrisO also thinks that this is not what was intended. The tag should probably be modified to make clear that simply copying is not allowed. Lupo 21:07, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Special:Upload

Hej! Jag upptäckte några smågrejer på den svenska varianten av Special:Upload, som jag undrar om du kan fixa:

• "Wikimedia Commonss" -> "Wikimedia Commons"
• "uppladdnings logg" -> "uppladdningslogg"
• "Du måste även kryssa för rutan, för att du inte gör något..." -> "Du måste även kryssa för rutan, för att bekräfta att du inte gör något..."
• "Upload" knappen" -> "Upload"-knappen
• "och du bli spärrad" -> "och du kan bli spärrad"

Dessutom säger texten längst upp att man, innan man laddar upp något, ska läsa en sida som är en röd länk. Detta är väl något jag skulle kunna fixa själv, men tills vidare kanske den kan peka (eller redirecta?) till den engelska texten? Mvh, Skagedal 01:14, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Jag gjorde om MediaWiki:Uploadtext/sv från början, att kryssa för en ruta innan man laddar upp är väldigt 2003. Jag översatte den engelskspråkiga motsvarigheten som väl beskriver dagens situation betydligt bättre. Thuresson 11:32, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Flags french departments

A flag is never protected. See the template:

This image shows a flag, a coat of arms, a seal or some other official insignia. The use of such symbols is restricted in many countries. These restrictions are independent of the copyright status.

So would you please remove your templates?

--Westermarck 13:21, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I adressed your concerns on the talk page on February 12. I am still waiting for a source to verify that any earlier version is GPL. Thuresson 12:03, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

And I replied above, pointing out that it's part of a (GPLd) software package; it's the same as for the Kate icon, no? I really don't see the difficulty here. Matt Crypto 12:08, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, two users claimed that the icon is produced by the federal government of the United States and licensed as "public domain" so I would prefer a URL who can verify that it is GPL. Thuresson 15:24, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Image:WWII Poland Invasion 1939-09-01.jpg

Hi. No, I didn't write that. All I did was restore the previous licensing info. This is the license stated on the pages of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (cf. the link in the discussion). Given that someone else in the discussion mentions having seen this picture in, AFAIR, an Italian book as PD, I think the Polish ministry may have exaggerated -- after all, it's not even likely (well, it's impossible) that the picture was/is a property of Polish government. Hmm, thanks for your message -- now I see why the licensing information there is simply unwarranted. Will remove it and comment on that tonight. Regards, Bansp 12:29, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Some time have passed, so my memory may fail me - though I am pretty sure that the picture you've deleted was the one on display at en: As you can read from the picture caption at en:, the original has been removed from whitehouse.gov, from where I grabbed the picture. Eventhough it has been removed, it is still federal property and thus PD. I think the picture should be reinstated. Please respond to my discussion page.--Lipothymia 21:27, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for catching that there may be a problem with Image:M74 Gemini.jpg. I moved three images from en over here that came from the NASA site; that one, Image:Hoags Object.jpg and Image:Stephan's Quintet.jpg. Now that you've drawn my attention to it, I think that you are correct; NASA is only reusing Gemini Observatory's image and there is no claim that they were involved with its creation. The image is not PD-NASA and needs deleting. It looks like the other two really are PD-NASA. I'll see if I can find an actual PD image of M74. Jkelly 19:39, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Mr. Sorry for the incident of the images of yesterday. I have a question. Can I use the images of the English version of Wikipedia, in the Spanish version? Sorry for my basic english, but I speak spanish. Saludos, señor Thuresson.

Hi, thanks for your message. I'm afraid that the Spanish Wikipedia have a very strict attitude regarding "fair use" images. If you find an image tagged with "fair use" at English Wikipedia, you can not upload it to Spanish Wikipedia (and not to WikiCommons). See es:Wikipedia:Uso legítimo for an explanation.

I don't know if you speak spanish, but you can read the law 11.723 from this link: [[3]]

But, this law apply to all image, photograpic, printed, etc, works...

"To the effects of the present law, the scientific, literary, comercial and artistic works, include/understand writings of all nature and extension; the plays, musical compositions, dramatic-musical comedies; cinematographic and the pantomímicas ones; the works of drawings, painting, sculpture, architecture; models and works of art or science applied to the commerce or to the industry; the forms, planes and maps; the phonographic plastics, photographies, engravings and discs, in aim: all scientific, literary, artistic or didactic production whichever it is the reproduction procedure.

False license

Hi. First of all, sorry for disturb you and for my poor english.

I write you to let you know that user Granadin (in spanish wiki Gabri-gr-es) falsified the license of the image: Albolote flag.jpg in an action I see as a vandalism, as well as this user has been adviced previously of Commons policy.

If you see his talk page, you can see he cleaned the advices, but you can see the previous talks made to him by other users.

I noticed your latest message on User talk:Pryku. There never seems to be a reply. Would you say we have enough evidence on maleficence for a pretty long block (I'm happy to apply it). There is a limit to 'assume good faith'. -- Solipsist 00:11, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your message. Yes, I did go through Pryku's uploads and, to put it simply, Pryku tags all uploads with "GFDL-self", regardless of where he found the photo (mostly English Wikipedia). Image:Shenzhen map2005.jpg is a case in point.

Pryku is obviously ignorant of how to tag images properly. Regarding blocking him/her for a longer time, Pryku has not been active since August 2005 (although Pryku is maintaining a low-level activity on Polish wikipedia). I leave it to your judgment if Pryku should be blocked or not. Thuresson 06:34, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I should have checked their contribution history. If Pryku is no longer active, a block would be unnecessary. Well done on tidying up their uploads. -- Solipsist 07:31, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

OK Thuresson. I didn`t realize the copyright sign. I'm very good friend of the foundation, and can talk with them to realese the picture. But I don`t think thats neccesary, because I have other pictures about the same theme. So Thuresson, sorry again and thanks for paying so much atention. --Roblespepe 18:56, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Reichstag Flag

Hello. You deleted the image "Reichstag_flag.jpg" because, you said, it was a duplicate of "Red army soldiers raising the soviet flag on the roof of the reichstag berlin germany.jpg". Well, IT WAS NOT A DUPLICATE.

"Reichstag_flag.jpg" was the original version, with the bottom soldier showing two (stolen) watches.

"Red army soldiers raising the soviet flag on the roof of the reichstag berlin germany.jpg" is the censored version. Stalin said that the watches should be removed. They removed them, and they also darkened the smoke, all in the best Orwellian matrix of "rewriting the past".

Both pictures should be preserved.

Than you for you attention. —Randroide 13:36, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi. i've just read your message in my userbox. I've put the origin of the image you told me. As a matter of fact, i'm repeating the data. In the beginning i'd put that information but it was in spanish. If you can see i had put "imagen trabajada por Chalisimo5 on September 20th, 2005". But, to avoid any kind of problems, i have just write {{self|GFDL}} 'cause i think it's the right thing to do. Please let me know if there is any problem. Thanks.

P.S. If you find any image that i have upload and you want me to do anything. Please, can you tell that to User:Anna?, she's my friend and she will know how to find me more quickly.

Re:User_talk:Mathiasrex

I noticed you asked him about the source of Polish coats of arms. I hope that answers your question: w:Template:Polish coats of arms by Tadeusz Gajl. This user rarely responds to talk and usually uploads images from en or pl wikis. The easiest way to verify them is to search for their names on those wikis (note: in cases of pl, replace 'Image' with 'Grafika'). You may also want to leave us a note at w:Wikipedia talk:Polish Wikipedians' notice board, especially if a large batch of images is to be deleted.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 17:38, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I believe this user takes images either from en: or pl: but uploads them to WikiCommons with a different file name, which makes it very time consuming to find the originals. Thuresson 18:34, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes. I have never seen him bothering with NowCommons tags or posting source of the original. Another way to trace the image is to see what en-wiki article it is linked from, than see the pl-wiki mirror article. But yes, it's time consuming. He also tends to take images created by others and 'relicense' them during the upload by stating that he is the creator. Sometimes he modifies them (like maps), but he never cites the original source (for example he often 'steals' maps of User:Halibutt) that way. I really don't know what we can do with him - he really doesn't bother much with using talk or discussion pages. PS. I'd appreciate if you'd reply on my talk page, I rarely monitor other users talk pages. PS2. Perhaps if you left a comlain on our Polish noticeboard about his behaviour we can figure out what to do toghether...--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 19:59, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Frankly speaking, I have a problem with that guy. I've asked him about the situation a number of times and at various places (Polish wiki, English wiki, here...), yet to no avail. I wonder what could I do about him. On one hand he simply stole my work and violated my license, which is pretty clear when it comes to crediting me for my work. On the other hand, his modifications of my maps are badly needed in some of the articles and I simply don't have the time necessary to prepare such maps myself. So, the fair and legal way to deal with the problem would be to simply delete all the maps he claims to have made himself, yet... this would be exactly what we call "a child spilled out with the bath" in Poland. Any ideas how could we deal with the problem? Halibutt 22:09, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Lohen

I think that it is not the most right way to warn me about I'm making a badly thing. Before sending a misatge so much hard, with threats how: If you continue cause problems you may tone blocked from using this service lamb, you should watch at the free and selfless contributions of the user to you will write. (http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuari:Lohen11)

Why my administrator in Catalan recommends me to put my photos in commons and the photos of the other wiki do however not put them there. And why I can not take a photo of the English wiki in commons if I see that everybody makes it?.

I think it is better that you tell me exactly what I makes badly and how I have to make it for making it well. This I think that it has to be the true work of an administrator. And, kinder, than it costs anything.

I am sad for your message but I am sure that I will receive of your part the explanations of all that I have asked you for.

Thank you and sorry for my english. --Lohen11 10:27, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I didn't have any intention to make you feel uncomfortable. However, I notice that you were asked by pfctdayelise on February 16 to provide more information on your contributions.

WikiCommons is a repository for free images. When you uploaded "Image:1994 wolympics logo.jpg" yesterday, you must have realized that the 1994 Winter Olympics logo is not a free image, you took it from it:Immagine:1994 wolympics logo.jpg where it is clearly tagged as "fair use".

I know it may be difficult with all the copyright rules but I suggest you take a look at Commons:Criteris per a la inclusió to learn why WikiCommons do not accept fair use images. Thuresson 10:39, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

RPS

Jag citerar Rikspolisstyrelsens hemsida: "Behöver du bilder? Under rubriken Bilder finns bland annat bilder på resehandlingar, länspolismästare och Polisens nya fordon. Alla bilder är fria för publicering." [7]

"Rikspolisstyrelsen: Nedanstående bilder får laddas ner och publiceras. Bilderna får inte förvanskas eller förses med missvisande bildtexter. Vid publicering måste fotografens namn anges." [8]

Du får gärna ange din källa, men som jag tolkar det är bilderna fria att publicera (även om de inte får förvanskas). Citera gärna var på RPS hemsida du läst att bilderna inte får publiceras! --Oden 23:42, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Commons:Project scope: "That means media files available only under non-derivative, non-commercial licenses or that have restricted usage or fall under the fair use clause are generally not accepted on the Wikimedia Commons" Thuresson 04:55, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Använde mig av mallen {{speedydelete}}, men det borde fungera också. Hör av dig annars.

För övrigt vill jag gärna föreslå att du i framtiden nyanserar din kritik. Att helt enkelt skriva som du gör känns inte så konstruktivt för mig. Om Wikipedia skall kunna nå ut till en bred massa krävs det att reglerna åskådliggörs och användarna kan ta till sig dessa på ett så enkelt sätt som är möjligt.

I detta fall är licensreglerna för {{PD-SwedGov-attribution}} inte lätta att förstå, vilket jag försökt att ta reda på. Visst, den stod i konflikt med målsättningarna för commons, men om den licensen inte borde få användas på Commons, borde det inte framgå av licenstexten? Sidan Template:PD-SwedGov-attribution är inte heller den så informativ.

Får jag föreslå att du läser mitt svar på sv:Diskussion:Carl_XVI_Gustaf#Bild och sen försöker tänka på hur det var när du var ny en gång i början? Visst, du har säkert mycket att göra med att hålla ordningen här, men med lite mer substans i dina svar kanske man slipper undvika att folk gör samma misstag flera gånger samt att de lär sig något? Tack för att du tar dig tid att delta i Wikipedia! --Oden 05:56, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Jag menade alls inte att låta magistral. Anledningen till att jag alls reagerade var att jag höll på att själv ladda upp samma bilder igår eftermiddag och därför kände igen dem. Det är verkligen inte så lätt att hålla reda på alla regler, jag håller med om det. När jag började med Wikipedia var det mera Vilda västern över hela projektet. Jag har också läst vad du skrivit om Carl XVI Gustaf så du verkar ju vara en sansad person.

Mallen Template:PD-SwedGov-attribution borde kanske formuleras om så att man vet när den ska användas. Vad som menas med "Government of Sweden" bör nog också klarläggas. Rikspolisstyrelsen lyder inte under regeringen utan under justitiedepartementet t.ex. Thuresson 08:44, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Thuresson. New media in Jean-Paul Sartre from Marxists.org. Is it ok to remove the tag? thank you. Paulo Juntas 01:23, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Because of a Wikimedia server problem I can't see the image you uploaded at the moment. The articles from www.marxists.org are, AFAIK, not public domain but licensed under Creative Commons. The images are used without permission from the copyright owners. Many of them are indeed public domain, others are copyrighted but scanned from books, eg. photos of Che Guevara. Uploading them to WikiCommons might constitute a copyright violation. I would prefer if you had a second source who could verify that the photo is public domain. Thuresson 10:53, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Polisfoton

Hej Thuresson. Jag skickade en förfrågan till Rikspolisstyrelsen angående vilka villkor som gäller för svenska polisfoton (på personer som häktats misstänkta för brott och liknande). Jag fick följande svar, men vet inte riktigt hur jag ska tolka det:

Fråga om upphovsrätt till fotografier som tagits på personer misstänkta för brott

Rikspolisstyrelsen har uppfattat att frågan avser fotografier som tagits med stöd av 1 § förordningen (1992:824) om fingeravtryck m.m. Dessa slag av fotografier får anses omfattas av den till upphovsrätten närstående rättigheten som gäller för fotografisk bild. Grundläggande bestämmelser om fotografisk bild finns i 5 kap. 49 a § lagen (1960:729) om upphovsrätt till litterära och konstnärliga verk (URL). Av bestämmelsen framgår bl.a. att den som har framställt en fotografisk bild har uteslutande rätt att framställa exemplar av bilden och göra den tillgänglig för allmänheten.

Om fotografen är anställd hos en polismyndighet får själva anställningsavtalet anses innebära en överlåtelse av förfoganderätten över upphovsrätten till arbetsgivaren, dvs. polismyndigheten. Upphovsrätt i anställningsförhållande regleras i rättspraxis, se bl.a. Arbetsdomstolens dom i mål 2002 nr 87. Om fotografen inte är anställd utan arbetar på uppdrag av en polismyndighet får upphovsrätten regleras i uppdragsavtalet.

I 2 kap. 26 b § första stycket URL föreskrivs att allmänna handlingar skall oavsett upphovsrätten tillhandhållas enligt 2 kap. tryckfrihetsförordningen.
Fotografier som tagits med stöd av 1 § förordningen om fingeravtryck m.m. får anses utgöra allmänna handlingar enligt 2 kap. tryckfrihetsförordningen.
Sådana fotografier omfattas i regel av sekretess enligt bl.a. 9 kap. 17 § första stycket 1 eller 4 sekretesslagen (1980:100). Om någon begär att få ta del av ett sådant fotografi skall den myndighet som förvarar fotografiet pröva om det kan lämnas ut.

Med vänliga hälsningar
Aimée Jillger

Tror du dessa bilder kan användas på Commons? Mvh Slarre 14:14, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Ja, det svaret gjorde ju inte saken särskilt klarare. Först vill jag nog hävda att ett vanligt porträttfoto taget rakt framifrån inte är ett fotografiskt verk i upphovsrättslagens mening utan endast en fotografisk bild. En fotografisk bild skyddas i 50 år efter skapandet. Jag har skrivit om allmänna handlingars upphovsrätt i w:sv:Upphovsrätt. Om ett foto på en misstänkt är allmän handling ska den på begäran lämnas ut till allmänheten (om inte fotot är hemligstämplat, som sagt).

Det finns dock gränser för vad man får göra med en allmän handling. Det är möjligt att ett foto av den typ vi talar om inte får spridas hur som helst eller ändras hur som helst. Om bilden inte får ändras hur som helst är den inte kompatibel med GFDL eller någon annan fri licens. Om ett porträttfoto är mer än 50 år vill jag dock hävda att fotot saknar skydd i upphovsrättslagen. Jag föreslår att du besöker något bibliotek och lånar en bok om upphovsrätt, förslagsvis Henry Olssons "Upphovsrätt", där författaren bland annat tar upp vilket skydd allmänna handlingar har.

Hallo, bevor du Wappen deutscher Gemeinden und Städte auf commons löschst, solltest du dich vorher mal mit deutschem Urheberrecht befassen oder die Finger von Dingen lassen, von denen du nichts verstehst.

I'm afraid you are wrong. I don't have to know one bit about German copyright law to delete any image without a license. Every user who uploads images to Wikicommons MUST provide a copyright license and source information. User:Toolmaker did not provide any of this nor any claim that this this was a German coat of arms. Thuresson 22:01, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I am just wondering, you are not confusing Concord, California for the aircraft Concorde, are you?

Thanks for your help anyways. -- Boereck 11:00, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

hazard symbols

Hello Thuresson.

Why do the SVG version have large margins for no apparent reason? I've uploaded them from the Sodipodi gallery, and I didn't change them.

There were many (about 25 IIRC) different images for the same six meanings, so I cleaned it up a bit and made it uniformly. Of course we can talk about the borders and the margins. I'd propose to remove the margin, but not the border. (Maybe we can make two versions of each image, on with the border and one without.

--MarianSigler {bla} 22:29, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your message. Nice work of you to replace various version of the hazard symbols. I don't think it's important if the SVG version have a bit of a margin and unless somebody protests at Commons:Deletion requests I will delete the redundant versions myself. Thuresson 22:58, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

At the de.wikipedia some people had also complained about the margins (here). I will remove the margins but leave the black border. (I will go on vacation on Saturday but I think I will make until there) I also think that they are too large. --MarianSigler {bla} 12:31, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Against DRM license?

I saw a debate on Commons:Deletion requests that took place awhile ago and wanted to resurrect it, because I don't think the result was correct. The question is whether or not {{ADRM}} is a compatible license with Commons copyright policy. The conclusion people came to is that it is not, since it has some restrictions on distribution ability (you can't distribute anything with any form of Digital Rights Management -- that is, you can't distribute anything that makes it impossible for others to re-distribute it). This is not at all incompatible with the GFDL, which has its own equivalent anti-DRM clause: "You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute." (Section 2) Other than that, I see nothing in the license which is not compatible with our other Commons copyright policies -- it is a free license, with the only restriction being one which the GFDL already has. All of the Creative Commons licenses we accept have the same sort of clause: "You may not distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform the Derivative Work with any technological measures that control access or use of the Work in a manner inconsistent with the terms of this License Agreement."[12] (Section 4b).

I see absolutely no reason to think this license is not compatible with the GFDL in the same way that our CC licenses are. Are there any real arguments to the contrary? --Fastfission 14:11, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

It depends on where the photo was first published. In many countries, a photo is PD 70 years after the death of the photographer. Thuresson 00:08, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

A new tool to help with deletions: FYI

it's called "Bad Old Ones". See e.g. [14]. I created a template, {{Delete assist}} which should be put on subcats of 'Unknown'. I just put it on the month-level ones, if you want to put it on day-level ones you're welcome to. It will just automatically create the link to Bad Old Ones for that category.

It's good if you want to delete "easy" cases that aren't being used anywhere. :) There's also a 'safe delete' option which creates a backup copy on the toolserver. However Brion is working on undeletion of images at the moment and it might be fixed permanently very soon!

Image:Quieneselsrlopez.jpg

Hello Thuresson! Thanks very much for bringing to my attention a licencing problem with many of the images I uploaded. In fact many of them are dubious and I apologize for that. However the image Quieneselsrlopez.jpg is copyleft. You said right that is not the same that GFDL, but what the author of the work (Luis Mandoki) means by copyleft is the permisson for freely copying and distributing the material. How can I provide a proof for that? What is for sure is that it is not a copyright violation and then the image should not be removed. There are some sparce notes in the newspapers mentioning that copying and distribution of this material is not ilegal (in Spanish, I am affarid) [15]. The author of this material has said that "it is true that I am against piracy but I see with good eyes that this work be freely and unlimited copied because it is not for profit and I invite the people to copying it, to present it" [16]. Would I convince you? Cheers! Boninho 16:35, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi! me again. I changed the image licence to

This work has been released into the public domain by its author, Luis Mandoki. This applies worldwide. In some countries this may not be legally possible; if so: Luis Mandoki grants anyone the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law.

Deletion

Hi there.

I wanted to ask you why you deleted File:Equipo 1908 1.JPG as "No source/license for 7 days", while it was proprely tagged as {{PD-AR-Photo}}, and was obviously way pass the Argentine 20 years and international 25 years of copyright. I would also like to ask you to inform me or administrator Barcex on deleting images tagged with this Argentine template, so we don't loose valuable images. Thanks and good wiking, Mariano 11:29, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

On March 30, User:Dodo tagged this image as lacking a source who could verify the copyright license. On April 28, you removed the "No source"-tag with the comment "source already stated", although there was no source. On May 15, the image was tagged for having no source by User:ALE!. On June 9 I deleted the image.

All photos must have a source, as prescribed by Commons:Licensing, so that other users are able to verify that the copyright tag is correct. Template:PD-AR-Photo is also quite clear: "Nevertheless, its author and source must be acknowledged.". A copyright tag only is not enough, there must a specific source so that other users will know where to find copyright information. Thuresson 12:15, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I don't recall right now why I thought it had a source reference, I don't have acces to the deleted version. Anyhow, I believe I know the source (El Gráfico Magazine) and probably failed to include it. I've heard we have undeletion of Images only since Friday, too bad.

Missing licenses

Thanks for listing those images needing a license. I have added it to all of them except for Arms of South Georgia.jpg, as I don't think I could add a license that is missing in the English Wikipedia from where the image has been taken in the first place. However, I noted that there exists another version of the same image, Image:South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands coa.gif, which seems adequately licensed in the Wikipedia Commons, so I have replaced the latter version for the former everywhere (except for its original use in two English Wikipedia articles). Therefore, Arms of South Georgia.jpg could now be safely deleted from the Commons. Best, Apcbg 00:44, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Foto av en plansch

Det är ju alltid svåra bedömningar i sådana fall. Bilden består ju inte bara av planschen med Jim Morrison.

Well, you can use the image description page to explain why you think this photo is a work by an employee of the FBI, then it's probably easy to find a tag. Thuresson 22:47, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Commons-l subscription

Hello Thuresson,

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 23:17, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi,

I can only believe that, being an advertising logo, it can be used for free exibition, but I am deleting the image until I can get a formal permission from Kona then. People here can be so complicated....

User block Mattes

I had many reasons for removing the tags: The pictures are PD-old, PD-BritishGov, PD-USGov or PD-USGov-NARA tagged. In detail:

• PD-old (more than 70 years old)
  • Image:Nuremberg 1934 - photo 01.jpg
• PD-USGov
  • Image:Adolf Hitler reviews a unit of workers.jpg
• PD-USGov-NARA
  • Image:Ww2-76.jpg
  • Image:Adolf Hitler im Ersten Weltkrieg.jpg
  • Image:Adolf Hitler in Paris.jpg
• PD-BritishGov
  • Image:Hitler in the crowd.jpg
  • Image:Hitler and members of the Sturm Abteilung.jpg
  • Image:Hitler and Himmler inspect a guard of honour.jpg
  • Image:Hitler - Rommel.jpg

I have removed the del tags to prevent redundant deletion discussions. This block is unjust. I kindly ask for unblocking me. In return, I will do thousands of edits and uploads in return. Also, I will not delete any more del tags. Thanks, User:Mattes

They are self drawn, by CorelDraw, but almost exact copies of the original ones. Cannot be GFDL-self, and this was the nearest of it (in my point of view). So what's the good for them if they aren't the properties of the US government? --VinceB 01:37, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Image:Zübeyde Hanım.jpg license issue

Hi, I got a warning that, this immage has not a source information. Thats true however because this images are so old, it is imposible to find info about the real author of it. And this one was a test upload and I am planning to upload more. I can choose "PD-old" too since they are more than 70 years old and it is PD according to Turkish laws after 70 years. But again I can't enter an author. What do you suggest? --Dbl2010 18:27, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

I found an example case, similar to this. Image:Einstein-with-habicht-and-solovine.jpg No source info, and licensed as pd-old. --Dbl2010 18:33, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Ping! --Dbl2010 19:52, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

But I'm sure there must be a source, after all, you must have found this photo somewhere or somehow? A web site perhaps? PD-old is for images where the author has been dead for 70 years, not images that are 70 years old. Thuresson 02:25, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Images can be scanned. The original source of old images are often unknown. Fair-use images on en.wikipedia require sources. PD images on commons (or en.wikipedia) do not.

Zübeyde Hanım is the mother of Ataturk the founder of Turkey. Her images are considered a national heritage and can be mass produced alter and published at will as it is done so.

Derek Wall Photograph

Derek has asked me to update his wikipedia page and is fully for open-source software and the free sharing of images, books, information etc (he supports libraries and uses the phrase in his book, I believe, 'Wiki-pedia is great... we need wiki-everything!')... so I'm sure he would give me permission if that is required! FISHERAD 00:22, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. You should get a written permission, not from Derek Wall, but from the photographer. Please attach it to Image:DerekWall.jpg. Thuresson 09:01, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I will do this but first I have to find out who the photographer is. As it is bound to be a member of the Green Party, I should be allowed to distribute it as a member of the party (it is also probably someone I know). I know, for instance, that this photo was used by the Guardian newspaper when Derek Wall ran for Male Principal Speaker of the party. In the meantime, I hope the photograph isn't deleted.

The map came to WikiCommons from English Wikipedia, where it also has been deleted. The map is still available at answers.com. Thuresson 05:34, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for damaging Wikinews articles.

Please do not substitute images on Wikinews; you are damaging their historical usefulness and the Wikinews mission. If you truly would like to be helpful to the project, please upload the image to Wikinews before deleting it on commons. - Amgine 03:14, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I think you are unfair; I spent 30 minutes trying to find the source for that photo, which had very little to do with the article in the first place. And I replaced the photo with a more relevant substitute.

Personally, I have no interest in the Wikinews project. Next time I will not remove deleted photos from WikiCommons but leave it to the trained monkees. Thuresson 04:31, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

It has been made more than clear the Commons neither understands nor supports the Wikinews project, which is why we now have our own file uploads. I understand and accept that Commons admins are not appreciative of the Wikinews project; but having discussed this with many of them previously it seems to me best if Commons would simply agree to do no harm. If an image must be deleted on Commons, please consider uploading it to Wikinews. This would save time and effort on your part, and preserve the historic record on Wikinews (as well as saving time and frustration on the part of Wikinews.)

You are welcome, of course, to continue in the pattern you have previously established. - Amgine 18:49, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm not interested in uploading material to Wikinews; uploading material to various projects before deleting is simply too time consuming, considering I have to do it in my spare time. Thuresson 09:45, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, of course. It's so much easier to simply break what others attempt to create. This is a clear support of the projects, which is the mission of Commons. - Amgine 05:17, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

As you may recall, I changed to a more relevant photo in the Wikinews article. If this is unacceptable, I will make no further edits in Wikinews. Thuresson 12:41, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

When the picture was published in the 19th century, he was also unknown.)

For: Image:Warsaw siege4.jpg, as far as I know the photo was published in Poland before 1952, so there should be no problems.

For Image:Regiment of Horse at Ramillies.jpg, I just took it from the English Wikipedia, but have not used it yet. Maybe to delete it wood be a good way.

I checked the mention site from the maps (SpanischerErbfolgekrieg1.jpg etc.) myself (got them from a friend) and relised the copyright problems. I already deleted them from the relevant article.

So far, that is all. When these information are sufficant enough I can add them to the relevant files. --Memnon335bc 18:38, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Vera Scarth-Johnson image

Hi Thuresson! Glad to see someone is keeping track of copyright issues! I am a long-standing member and past President of the Vera Scarth-Johnson Gallery Association Inc., here in Cooktown, Australia, who own the painting from which the scan was made. I have discussed the matter of using low- resolution images in the Wikipedia at a couple of General Meetings of the Association and the current President, Mrs. Narelle Morris. All were in agreement. I cannot see any problem with having it on Wikimedia Commons - but if you do - please let me know - I am a bit of a novice in these copyright issues.

Just in case, I have just uploaded an even lower resolution version of the file to help limit commercial exploitation of the image. If you are a "sysop", perhaps you could remove the earlier two saved versions for me which are of higher resolution? If you have any further questions for me - please do not hesitate to ask.

Cheers,

Egon Krenz / Willi Stoph

Hi, please add a source who can verify that the two photos are public domain (gemeinfrei) according to the German copyright law (§ 64, § 66, § 72 or § 5 UrhG). If you can't within 7 days, the photos may have to be deleted. Thuresson 12:44, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

• Hi, please accept my apologies in the delay in getting back to you. After further research, I can now confirm the ownership and copyright status of the above pictures; accordingly, I have changed the image tag to a copyright tag (with permission given, as long as the images are not re-distributed). The current owner (and copyright owner) of the pictures in question is the Deutsches Historisches Museum, Berlin; details of this, and the relevant catalog numbers were supplied as part of the caption for the picture, at the time of upload.

• • However, it must be pointed out that the original owner (and copyright owner) of the pictures were part of the former East German state, and thus no longer exist.

• • The purpose of uploading the images was to illustrate the subjects of the photos. So, a 'Fair Use' tag may be more appropriate in this case. Please contact me again, if you have any more questions about this. (RM21 10:10, 29 July 2006 (UTC))
    • Thank you for your message on my talk page. You wrote that: "The copyright holder of this file allows anyone to use it for any purpose, provided that the image is not re-distributed without prior permission of the owner,"

   According to Commons:Licensing all material on WikiCommons must be made available on the condition 
of republication by anybody ("Republication and distribution must be allowed"). 

Hence, I have had the photo deleted. Any conditions which limit free use by anybody for any purpose is not allowed. Files uploaded under that condition is quickly deleted. Thuresson 13:40, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

• • • • I don't understand this. There is permission for the item to be published on Wikipedia, just not off of Wikipedia; that would require permission. Even if this was allowed, it would be in breach of copyright... Also, the images are featured on other Wikipedia projects, in Dutch, for example. Is that allowed?? (RM21 13:46, 29 July 2006 (UTC))

All photos must be made available to anybody for any purpose, including use by websites other than Wikipedia, newspapers, magazines or selling the photos for money. Thuresson 13:52, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Template:Military Insignia

Hi, you claim that "International law requires for combatant identification and copyrighting rank insignias violates international law.". Which law is this "international law"? Thuresson 12:50, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

There are many, but a notable ones are the en:Geneva Conventions. The issue is covered under "combatant identification". Anything restricting combatant/non-combatant identification (such as copyrighting them) is prohibited. The Red Cross and Red Crescent are also covered in a similar manner.

--Cool Cat^Talk|@ 13:24, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for a quick answer. I'm afraid I can't find any information about this anywhere, including www.genevaconventions.org. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction, eg. which of the Geneva conventions or perhaps a different convention? Thuresson 21:05, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Sadly, I am not precisely certain exaclty where and what document it is. I'd have to look for it. Why do you want to know? --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 21:12, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for having patience with me. Since the template claims that "international law" requires something, the template itself or the talk page should clarify which law this is. If this is not possible, the template should not be used any more. Thuresson 01:12, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I am no expert, but I do not think there is anything spesific about copyrights of rank insignias mentioned on international treaties as it is something very trivial. Countries are required to make this info freely avalible. NATO countries for instance are actualy expected to inform the central body of any change to the rank insinias.

I do not want to bug a "millitary lawyer" unless it is absolutely necesary. I'll however inquire it through other channels.

I am uncertain of whether this image is allowed to be uploaded to Commons. Verdict? --Tord Strømdal 11 augusti 2006 kl. 13.12 (CEST)

Thanks for your message. I am afraid that WikiCommons no longer accepts photos from sxc.hu (see Commons:Stock.xchng images for an explanation). You need to contact the photographer and ask him or her to explicitly license the photo under a free license (PD, Creative Commons or GFDL). But WikiCommons already have plenty of photos of rottweilers you can use instead, see the article Rottweiler. Thuresson 13:46, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your quick reply. True, there are quite a few rottweiler images available at WikiCommons, but none as esthetically pleasing as Full-tail-rottweiler.jpg. I have contacted the photographer and hopefully he/she will upload the picture to WikiCommons. --Tord Strømdal 11 augusti 2006 kl. 17.12 (CEST)

Altering and re-uploading images.

I would like to make changes to this image and upload it to WikiCommons again. Specifically, I wish to flip the image and enhance the colours.

When you go about uploading an image on the page Special:Upload, click "Browse" to choose a photo stored on your own computer. Below the browse button is a large empty field where you can add data about the photo. You can copy and paste the template below into that field.

{{Information

Please fill in as much information that you know. When you are done you can click on the "Upload" button and you can use the image in any article. Thuresson 18:34, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I am still somewhat confused about the metadata for the file. Am I the author or should that be the author of the original image? Should I use today's date or the date for the original upload? Should "other_versions" contain any data? Why is "GDFL" the Permission type? Because the original image was GDFL? I'm sorry if these are n00b questions, but I'm new here at Wiki. --Tord Strømdal 14 August 2006, 13:55 (CEST)

Thanks for your message. The author is the name of the person who took the photograph. The date should be the day or year when the photograph was taken. Obviously this is more important for older photos. If you don't know, just leave the field blank. Since Image:Rottweiler.jpg is licensed under GFDL, your version of the photo must also be licensed under GFDL. "Other versions" is only useful if there are several versions of the same photo. Thuresson 12:12, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Template:Money

I see that you deleted Template:Money. I'm new to commons, and a regular at en. I created the template to be used like en:Template:Money. Can you explain to me why it was deleted? Are images of money (which are often not public domain, but are fair use, but IANAL) not allowed on commons? There are many images which are tagged incorrectly as PD or GFDL (by the person who made the scan), and I'm trying to help sort it out, although I haven't uploaded any images myself. Thanks, Mom2jandk 19:42, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Template:Money is used at English Wikipedia for providing a reason why fair use images of currency are used. Since WikiCommons do not allow fair use images in the first place, there is no use for this template. It is enough to use one of the copyright tags and a source who can verify that the copyright tag is correct.

There is a procedure for deleting templates at Commons:Deletion requests. This template was nominated for deletion on March 6, 2005 and on October 29, 2005. Thuresson 06:28, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. I assumed it was correctly deleted, I just didn't understand why since I'm not used to commons. I think this means that there are a lot of images on commons which shouldn't be here. They're probably mostly tagged PD or GFDL by someone who misunderstood the copyright situation. Until I started looking into it, I thought I'd own the copyright on a coin or bill that I scanned/photographed. I think other people have the same misconception.

I understand that I can't know where the original is from, this is only a possible source, but if its true that 2D representations of works of art don't enjoy copyright, that the painter is long dead (I just assume), and thus any such representation of it is copyright free the source should be irrelevant.

Hi, you marked some images as deleted duplicate. Since this was reverted i put the images on Commons:Deletion requests. So, maybe you would like to vote for deletion now? --jed 20:33, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Some problems concerning some photos. Hope to solve!

• Image:DavidSuchet6.jpg and your post "No source - the web page says All rights reserved, but I can't find the photo there anyway"... I have just added the link to the page where the photo has been published (http://www.broomeman.com/mt/archives/2002_11.html)
• Image:FedericoeFrancesco.jpg and your post "No source - I can't find this photo and a relevant copyright license at the website"... I have added the link to the page where the photo has been published ((http://www.federicoefrancesco.com/files/index.php?dir=foto%20di%20Giovanni%20Cavallini/set/), and the copiryght license is a .txt document you can find here: http://www.federicoefrancesco.com/files/Copyright.txt

• Image:AgathaChristiesPoirot.jpg and your post "No source - who is Brian Farnham and how can his permission to use this photo be verified?"... Brian Farnham is the director of the movie and the photo is a screenshot from the final scene of the movie. If you search "Hercule Poirot" on Google.it (the same way I have found this image) you can see it is also available on www.chez.com/herculepoirot/index.htm, where I also found the copiright notes, herculepoirot.free.fr, www.dvdreview.com and www.freewebs.com... I have chosen to indicate herculepoirot.free.fr as source when I noticed the following message on chez.com: "Désolé, mpossible de trouver cette page"

• I don't know what to do with Image:Onceinalifetime.jpg, because the press releases I requested to the National Theatre Press Office via e-mail (they are all .pdf documents, with photo, while from the official site you can download only .doc documents) have not any specific author but the press office of the National Theatre, and I can't find anywhere the author of the threatical poster, which was also published in a lot of theatrical rewiews online newspapers, such as arts.guardian.co.uk, stagetext.co.uk or whatsonstage.co.uk...

Please tell me if there is something else I have to do!

Look, you need a permission from the photographer or the copyright owner to publish these photos under a free license (GFDL, Creative Commons or similar). Apparently, Donny Broome is not the photographer so the link to his web log is not good enough. You need a permission from the photographer/copyrigt owner, preferrably in writing so that others can check if this is correct. Thuresson 18:09, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I will send an e-mail to Donny Broome to ask some information... Thanks for your help! 17:36, November 17th

Avoiding more problems

Hello. To avoid more problems, this is the list of brazilians flags that I uploaded:

All of them were taken from brasilian army official site e problably are under public domais. Although we have another versions (betters and under public domains) of the same flags in commons. So the images above should be deleted.

I uploaded (a long time ago) some images from wikipedias (such as italian and germanay) but I realise that this don't assure their free use. That's why these images dosn't specify who created the content and so the copyright status is unclear. Here are the list of these images:

• From English wikipedia

Image:Fsm moore model door control.jpg Image:Hardy-Weinberg.gif Image:Ravennamagi.jpg

• From Italian wikipedia

Image:Umbria-Bandiera.png Image:Puglia-Bandiera.png Image:Molise-Bandiera.png Image:Lazio-Bandiera.png Image:Emilia-Romagna-Bandiera.png Image:Campania-Bandiera.png Image:Calabria-Bandiera.png Image:Toscana-Bandiera.png

• From Flag of World

I believe that thede images may/should be deleted.

Sorry for all. --Giro720 18:33, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Image:NobuyoshiAraki73.jpg.

I found this image on the italian wikipedia under a creative commons license, it was not on wikimedia commons so I thought it would be better here, and I changed it too on italian wikipedia. If the image was here I think that I shall have no problem, but I'm not an expert, so tell me. Saludos --Kasiber 23:47, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your message. This photo was uploaded to Italian Wikipedia by User:Pirru. Do you have any reason to believe that Pirru is identical to Nobuyoshi Araki? Secondly, it:Immagine:NobuyoshiAraki73.jpg is tagged as "public domain" but on WikiCommons you claim that you are the creator and that you license the photo under GFDL and Creative Commons. Why? Do you have any evidence that Nobuyoshi Araki allows anybody to use the photo under GFDL/Creative Commons? Thuresson 08:50, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

-->Sorry for all, I think I haven't understood correctly everything. I just saw that the copyright was for public domain in all the world, and I thought that being in italian wiki was the same that being on commons wiki, but the problem was yet on italian. So it shall be deleted I think too. I wish my english is not too bad :P. Saludos--Kasiber 15:55, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Photos of Paintings

You say on your user page that photos of paintings may be public domain depending on the painter. Can you be more specific? My work on the Commons almost exclusively deals with images of fine art, which are amazingly scarce here, and I would like to understand the guidelines better. Thanks. LordAmeth 20:00, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that the description of the image "Traktor Volvo BM, augusti 2005.jpg" that you uploaded to Commomns, was described as "Volvo BM-traktor, troligen en 783:a från 1970-talet". It is in fact a "Volvo BM 700", produced from 1976 to 1982 (there never was a Volvo BM tractor called "783"). Sigmundg, 7/10 2006.

If you zoom in on it you will see that it says 700. Here is a link to a another picture of the 700: http://www.bmsidan.se/varabm/060128t700.htm. --Sigmundg 00:18, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Imágenes de Bienes de Interés Cultural (BIC)

Estimado Thuresson, siento no poder expresarme en ingles. La información que contiene la imagen es correcta. Pertenece a la Administración Pública y forma parte del expediente de declaración de “Bien de Interés Cultural”. En España, toda la información contenida en dichos expedientes es pública y puede ser usada libremente. Ruego elimines la advertencia que has puesto en las imágenes o pases esta información a un administrador español, quien corroborará la información que te estoy dando. Un saludo Gafotas 11:01, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

• En cuanto al comentario No source - Law 38/1995 has no mention of GPL or any other copyright license. The law provides a right for people to access information., que has añadido en una imágen, PLEASE consulta con alguien que entienda de Derecho (LAW). Thankyou. Un saludo de nuevo Gafotas 11:09, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

• • Comprueba la información que he cambiado en Image:Convento de San Francisco de Benicarló.jpg a ver si así te parece correcto. Gafotas 11:54, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your message. I still do not understand why the people of Spain should credit you when using publicly available information. Do you understand what the GPL license means? How can I verify that this material is licensed under GPL? Thuresson 14:38, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I just found this by chance and have been looking for some information on the internet. I am spaniard , and though I am no advocate or something alike and I cannot go into complicated legal arguments, I can read.

The image Image:Convento de San Francisco de Benicarló.jpg says La imagen forma parte del expediente de un Bien de Interés Cultura (BIC) de España, incluida en el Inventario General del Patrimonio Cultural Valenciano, de carácter público según Art. 17.1 de la Ley 4/1988 de la Generalitat Valenciana. El contenido del Inventario es público y carente de copyright. I cannot find the Law 4/1988 from the Generalitat Valenciana, but I found http://www.gva.es/cjccv/castellano/Dic118-06.pdf, where you can read:

En ejercicio de su específica competencia y en el marco del ámbito territorial de la Comunidad Valenciana, se promulgó la Ley del Juego 4/1988, de 3 de junio, de la Generalitat Valenciana, que constituye la norma de referencia en la materia, regulando la actividad del juego y de las apuestas en sus distintas modalidades, y entre éstas, la del Juego del Bingo, que conforme lo dispuesto en el artículo 3º, en relación al artículo 2º, de la citada Ley, figura incluido en el Catálogo de Juegos de la Comunidad Valenciana, quedando sujeto a autorización administrativa previa para el ejercicio y el funcionamiento en sus locales específicos.

So it looks like the Law 4/1988 is a law that regulates bets and lotteries.

The law Law 38/1995 Gafotas mentions doesn't say anything about the copyright of the information. It just says that there is a right to get certain information but doesn't mention a thing about the copyright of the information you get. As far as I know, documents etc. generated by the spanish state are copyrighted.

Cheers, --Ecelan 21:32, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, Ecelan. I also asked User:Anna about this, and I am waiting for an answer. Many countries have similar laws about giving the public access to certain documents, laws that do not affect the copyright status. Thuresson 21:37, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

• • • Lo siento, escribi mal la ley: es la Ley 4/1998 del Patrimonio Cultural Valenciano, que en su artículo 17 dice textualmente: Artículo 17. Publicidad: 1. El Inventario General del Patrimonio Cultural Valenciano tendrá carácter público, sin perjuicio de las restricciones que esta misma Ley establece respecto del patrimonio arqueológico y paleontológico.

Hello Thuresson, I've asked a lawyer in es:wiki, I'll let you know as soon as I get his answer. Regards. Anna 00:33, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello again, I got the confirmation. That material is public only to guarantee that the spanish administration does not act undercover and let know citizens the content of those files, but it doesn't mean they're free to copy or reproduce and least of all use them with the freedom Commons requires. I warned the user and I'll delete the images tomorrow. Regards. Anna 01:47, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Pictures Upload Problem

Thanks for noticing something about 101 Run Up Pictures. Those pictures I've uploaded is photographed by me (Rico Shen), if not proper, how to use the proper copyright information with my uploaded pictures?

About Noticing

Thanks for noticing and replying, but in the Information Table, I got a problem, What is about "Permission"?

Currently those pictures I've upload is for Wikinews Chinese & Wikipedia New Column "Taipei 101 Run Up" (English & Chinese Tradicional.), Maybe you can give some suggestion for Modifying Copyright & Information Bar.

Also, When I save a information page, it still be old information, not new or modified, can it be solved? Rico Shen 14:02, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

flickrreview

Hi Thuresson, I see that you reviewed some images uploaded by me via flickr and added a tag to these files. To remind you about which images we are talking about, Image:FeyenoordFans 1.jpg is one of them. You are saying that CC-BY-ND-2.0 is not compatible with commons, but when I read the policies about it, it is said that anyone is able to use the images, even for commercial goals unless the name of the included, which is the case by naming the photographer in the image page. Does this have to do with the fact that we are unable to alter the picture? I don't see why this would be a problem which results in the image not being commons compatible. If you'd like to clarify this to me, please do. Can you do me a favour and answer this on my en.wiki talk page? Thanks in advance, SportsAddicted 13:52, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Katie Melua music

Hi Thuresson,

Maybe I'm missing something, but is there any reason not to delete these straight off the bat and block this user indefinitely? They appear to show no signs of interest in learning our requirements, and they must have uploaded over 50 copyvios already, it is wasting our time... --pfctdayelise (说什么?) 12:05, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

The source

My Dear Thuresson, I'm so sorry, I didn't know that we couldn't use the google images like a source, thanks for your advice. I changed the source of the photos right now. Meanwhile that photos lost its copyrights since approximately 1994.Ralph Joseph

Thank you for your message. If you claim that a photo is out of copyright because the author has been dead for 70 years, you should write something about the identity of the author. Thuresson 17:40, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Yanni

Hi, you stated that it was a waste of time to obtain Yanni images, and they were deleted. But I clealy stated in the summary that permissions were pending. Did that not warrant at least a few days to wait? I actually already had verbal permission from Yanni management but waiting for their written reply via email of which will be forwarded to Permissions.org., again, clearly stated in Summary. I uploaded them and provided links to them in my formal permission request to Yanni management so that could see exactly what images I wanted permission to use. So what -- now they are not there for them to see. Cricket02 20:14, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your message. You can not publish photos and then ask for permission from the copyright owner, you should get a written permission first. The permission from the Yanni managment must allow anybody to use the photos for any purpose, eg. selling t-shirts with Yanni on it. Thuresson 16:41, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

• Thank you for your help, I understand now. Can you please delete these as well for the same reason. I copyvio'd them and are my own uploads. Sorry for the trouble. Next time I will be more informed.

Swedish Arms

Firstly, thank you for your contribution to the discussions about various Swedish Coats of Arms (Image:Sweden greater arms.svg etc). I was wondering what the procedure would be if the consensus was not to delete them. The problem is that it appears they were all orphaned before being listed for deletion and they were included in quite a large number of templates etc. Is there a simple way of reverting those changes? Indeed, should such changes be reverted? I had hoped, as with the other complex arms I uploaded (Image:Coat of arms of the Netherlands.svg) to work with someone to tidy up the details but that doesn't seem possible at the moment... Arcjgh 12:51, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your message. If the images are kept it is up to the users of the various Wikipedias if they want to use the images. If the images were removed from templates etc., it is quite easy to put them back in again. It is also my belief that a freely licensed COA (such as yours) have a very strong chance against fair use coats of arms. Thuresson 02:54, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

About Sweden greater arms.png and Sweden lesser arms.png

Hi Thuresson, You've postred warnbings to me about lack on copyright tags for these pictures. However, if you had checked the history you would have noticed that someone had removed the existing tags recently, apparently in an effort to push for those terrible, home-made svg versions instead. I have now reverted the status to what it was before. Regards Thomas Blomberg 17:09, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

These two images still have no copyright tag. Without a copyright tag, these images may be deleted. Thuresson 20:19, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

They both have the tag template:insignia-Sweden, which is the only available copyright tag for Swedish coat of arms. The tag should, however, be re-written, because although the text by virtue of its context states that the image can be used freely as long as you don't use it to imply endorsement from the authority in question, the statement should be clearer and a green copyright emblem should be added.

Money scans

Yo wrote: Hi, I notice that none of these photos of money have a source who can verify that the copyright owner has licensed the images under GFDL (which is very unlikely). Scanning an image do not transfer the copyright to you. Please add sources to all these images, thank you. Thuresson 05:29, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I believe that commons is not a media store but a competition to see who is most stupid. Perhaps I can't scan my own money?. I'm violating copyright if I take a photo of me?. This is ridiculous. Money is public and mine, and If I want to scan it, i can do it. I don't scaned a image of coins and banknotes, but the real coins and banknotes (I changed euros for this coins and banknotes of course). I'm tired of fight against so great collection of more popist that the Pope. I will don't post more, I go out

Today I was bloked because suposately I was violated copyright for load images of flags that I draw and that I have vector files to probe it. The bloker (Yann) has no other motive that a wrong suposition (and "a posteriori", after bloking). Then I asked for delete all my contributions but i dont receive any answer. You are violating now really my copyright with thousands of images, and you fear for a scan of coins; really, this is funny... Delete all that you want; I dont take more job in the future for to be deleted later. But if this images are deleted, please also delete all my contributions because then, the agreement before granted is now reversed. --jolle 23:37, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
