File:Delta-Operators-1.jpg

Hi u speedy deleted this linked pic. Can we first discuss it before we do a speedy? Also stock image holders use official government pics like this wich we have File:US Navy 040525-N-3953L-246 Navy SEALs practice Over The Beach evolutions during a training exercise.jpg.--Sanandros (talk) 21:45, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi, This isn't a government picture. It is under a copyright by "SIPA/Press Picture". Yann (talk) 22:11, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

Yes I know but can we check that claim in a discussion? Because I couldn't find it on the Sipa webpage.--Sanandros (talk) 06:50, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

 Done OK. Yann (talk) 16:04, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Deletion of Dr Mc Ginley portrait copyright

Hi Yann, I don't understand how I need permission from the heirs of Sean O' Sullivan to put up his portrait of Dr Mc Ginley in the hospital on Letterkenny. The portrait was commissioned by Letterkenny University Hospital and the money was raised in collections around Donegal. Surely when the committee which ran the hospital paid O' Sullivan for his services, O' Sullivan passed on copyright of the painting to the hospital or the subject? Rockypopod (talk) 19:49, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

@Rockypopod: Not necessarily. Anyway if that is the case, we need a proof. The copyright holder needs to confirm the permission for a free license via COM:VRT. Actually this picture is not very good. It would be better to ask for a good picture from the copyright holder. Yann (talk) 19:54, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Insigne et patch du Bataillon Bolivar du 3^e de la Légion internationale pour la défense territoriale de l'Ukraine

Bonjour @Yann
Vous avez demandé la suppression des fichiers File:Coat of arms of the “Batallon Bolivar”.jpg et File:Parche_del_Batallón_Bolívar.jpg et les fichiers ont été supprimés avant que je puisse savoir pourquoi.
Qu’elle en était la raison?
Christian28TMA (talk) 18:29, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

@Christian28TMA: File:Parche del Batallón Bolívar.jpg a été copié depuis Twitter, and didn't have a license. File:Coat of arms of the “Batallon Bolivar”.jpg a été copié depuis un site web sans permission. Yann (talk) 19:02, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Merci @Yann: de ta réponse rapide.
Mais il n'y a pas besoin de permission pour copier une image du domaine public, ou je me trompe ? Christian28TMA (talk) 21:51, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

En creusant le sujet, j'ai trouvé la loi ukrainienne en question : УКРАЇНИ Про авторське право і суміжні права du 15-04-2023 

Article 8 Objets non protégés par le droit d'auteur

alinéa 4 : symboles d'État, récompenses d'État ; signes d'État, emblèmes, symboles et signes des autorités de l'État, des forces armées de l'Ukraine et d'autres formations militaires de l'Ukraine, approuvés par les autorités de l'État ; symboles des communautés territoriales de l'Ukraine, approuvés par les organes d'autonomie locale compétents ;

Il serait bon de mettre à jour le modèle {{PD-UA-exempt|type=patches}} qui cite une loi obsolète : il faudrait remplacer Article 10 par Article 8 et modifier aussi le wikisource par la traduction de la loi à jour. Je ne sais pas le faire, ni à qui m'adresser, je ne maitrise pas l'anglais suffisamment , pourrais tu t'en charger ?

merci de ta réponse

Christian28TMA (talk) 23:09, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

@Christian28TMA: Are documents copied from social media also covered? I suggest you ask on COM:UDR to get a consensus. I won't oppose undeletion there. Yann (talk) 09:22, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Bonjour @Yann:

Nous ne sommes pas ici devant des documents copiés sur des réseaux sociaux, mais sur des documents du domaine public ukrainiens qui ont été reproduits sur des réseaux sociaux, ce qui est autorisé, puisque ces insignes sont du domaine public, et qui ensuite, ont été copiés, mais dans ce cas, ce n'est pas le fait qu'ils aient transité par un réseau social qui en ferait des documents sous droit d'auteur, le fait que l'État ukrainien approuve (de jure ou de facto) le port de ces insignes par des soldats de l'armée régulière ukrainienne exclu définitivement ces insignes de la Loi de l'Ukraine sur le droit d'auteur et les droits connexes du 15-04-2023 conformément à son article 8 alinéa 4 (УКРАЇНИ Про авторське право і суміжні права від 15.04.2023 р. п.4 ст.8).

Il n'y a pas lieu de demander un consensus sur Wikipédia : ce n'est pas à Wikipédia de décider qu'un insigne ukrainien du domaine public, reproduit sur un réseau social, passerait sous copyright. Ces insignes font partie du domaine public ukrainien, et leur reproduction, sur un réseau social ou ailleurs, ne peut pas les exclure du domaine public.

Comment fait-on pour demander la restauration de ces deux pages, ce n'est pas moi qui les avais publiés, et la licence inscrite n'était surement pas la bonne qui est {{PD-UA-exempt}}. Je pourrais aussi les publier moi-même à partir de ma collection personnelle, mais cela doublerait les pages si elles sont restaurées

Merci de votre réponse, cordialement

Christian28TMA (talk) 12:54, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

@Christian28TMA: Ce n'est pas si simple. Documents du domaine public ukrainiens qui ont été reproduits sur des réseaux sociaux. Où est la preuve ? La source [1] est un écusson de volontaires du Vénézuela. Cela n'a rien à voir avec le gouvernement ukrainien, et je ne vois pas pourquoi "PD-UA-exempt" s'appliquerait à ce fichier. Les termes et conditions de l'autre fichier ne mentionnent aucune licence libre, et au contraire, prohobitent la reproduction des documents du site. La seule chose de certaine est que ces documents ont été publiés sans licence libre sur des sites web externes qui ne sont pas les sites du gouvernement ukrainien. Enfin, ceci n'a rien à voir avec Wikipédia. COM:UDR est la page de Commons qui permet de voir des fichiers restaurés. Yann (talk) 13:44, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

@Yann: Ces fichiers représentent les insignes officiels du bataillon de l'armée ukrainienne "Bataillon Bolivar", en conséquence, l'ensemble de sa symbolique est exclue de copyright par la loi ukrainienne (en ligne sur le site officiel du gouvernement ukrainien ici => УКРАЇНИ Про авторське право і суміжні права від 15.04.2023 р. п.4 ст.8. )

Il existe sur Wikipédia Commons un template spécialement dédié aux œuvres ukrainiennes exclues du copyright du fait de cette loi précédemment citée. En conséquence, les insignes d'unités militaires ukrainiennes sur Wikipédia sont censés avoir la bonne licence, c'est-à-dire domaine public, et, puisqu'il existe un template spécialement dédié aux œuvres ukrainienne exclue du copyright par cette loi, et que toutes les insignes d'unités militaires ukrainiennes sont exclues du copyright du fait de cette loi ukrainienne, il y a lieu d'utiliser ce template pour toutes les insignes d'unités militaires ukrainiennes.

En ce qui concerne la preuve que cette unité de l'armée ukrainienne existe, vous pouvez la trouver sur les pages officielle de cette unité sur les réseaux TikTok et Télégram qui sont les organes privilégiés par l'Armée Ukrainienne (sources primaires), vous avez une source secondaire en un reportage sur la chaîne YouTube DNews qui est la chaine YouTube officielle du programme télévision payant par satellite DirectTV ici "Batallón Bolívar", Nueva unidad internacional para apoyar la defensa del mundo libre - sur DNEWS (source secondaire), vous pourrez même y visualiser à 3'19 l'insigne de manche droite officiel de la section combat de cette unité

Il est donc approprié de restaurer ces pages concernant des œuvres du domaine public ukrainien que vous avez supprimé au motif erroné qu'elle représentait des œuvres sous copyright alors qu'elles représentent des œuvres ukrainiennes du domaine public, et il est approprié de corriger la licence erronée de ces pages en y apposant le template dédié aux œuvres ukrainienne exclue du champ d'application du copyright par la loi cité par ce template.

Merci d'avance

Cordialement

Tarjetas electorales y Boletas de votación en Venezuela

Buenas soy nativo español, una pregunta las tarjetas electorales y Boletas de votación en Venezuela creadas en 1947 están en el Dominio Público como establece en el "PD-VenezuelaGov"?? AbchyZa22 (talk) 11:14, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

not PD, unfortunately

You uploaded File:Monica Elfriede Witt in uniform.jpg as a PD replacement for File:Photo of American Fugitive Monica Elfriede Witt circa 2012-2013. Released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation - uploaded August 2023.jpg, but that photo also isn't PD. When I initially wrote Monica Witt, I contacted Air Force public affairs and asked about the status of that photo; the reply said it was produced by a contractor and wasn't a USAF product. That's why I uploaded and used File:Mon Witt ALS (cropped).jpg instead. Fourthords | =Λ= | 19:34, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

@Fourthords: Hi,

I am surprised. This seems to be an official portrait from the US Air Force. Even if taken by a contractor, I suppose it is a work for hire, and therefore in the public domain. I can very well understand that the USAF doesn't always have the personnel to do this kind of jobs, so they employ civilians, but among all probabilities, they would get the copyright. Yann (talk) 20:09, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

I've participated in and begun many deletion discussions in which the files were deleted because they were contracted and not military-works (e.g. here, here, here, and here). I've assumed that based on those discussions, and their precedences, that contracted photography by the US military would warrant deletion absent explicit evidence to the contrary. Does that make sense? Fourthords | =Λ= | 21:43, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

@Fourthords: I am not a specialist of the US military procedures, so go ahead if you think it should be nominated. Yann (talk) 14:35, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

help resolve deletion request

Hi Yann.

I have another deletion request related to a Warner Brothers character. I was hoping to get some help in resolving it. Looking back at the user's history it seems they have run into the same derivative issue earlier, they uploaded Falling Hare, but despite that file's deletion they continued to upload derivative works. Could you please provide some help in resolving this?

Best SDudley (talk) 23:40, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I warned this user. I expect this file to be deleted soon. Yann (talk) 10:18, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

I got blocked

Hello Yann, I was blocked for uploading non-free images. Before you blocked me, you me sent a message saying that I am blocked until I fix the files with a proper source, date, author and license. I started correcting the files, but they were deleted (7 days later) since I did not bring them up to standards. They are now all deleted but I am still blocked even though I can no longer edit the files anymore. I would like to ask you if I am permanently blocked for uploading those non-free images or is there something I can do to be unblocked? Regards, M J Hurter (talk) 16:39, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

@M J Hurter: Hi,

You can request undeletion on COM:UDR if you provide evidence that the files are in the public domain.

For the files not deleted, please fix the license of File:Maria Koopmans-de Wet.jpg, File:Johanna Van der Merwe.jpg, and others. You need to provide a date, at least approximative (like I did here), and if possible an author. I don't know where the claim of authors there comes from, I can't see that at the source. If you need help, you can ask on COM:VPC. Thanks, Yann (talk) 17:25, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

@Yann: Thank you very much. Will I be unblocked as soon as I fix those remaining images? Thank you for your time and help. Regards, M J Hurter (talk) 17:51, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

@M J Hurter: Yes, but you have at least 20 images to fix. The paintings also have the wrong license. Yann (talk) 17:54, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

@Yann: Hello, I have added the correct license to most of my images and requested the deletion of the remaining files that were not a public domain. Does this mean that I can be unblocked? Please let me know if there are images that I have left out. Thanks, M J Hurter (talk) 08:53, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

@M J Hurter: Ok, good start. You also need to add a license for USA, e.g. [2], and remove the Creative Commons license, which is not valid. Yann (talk) 09:09, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

@Yann: Hi. Thanks, I removed the Creative Commons license and added a license for the USA. Is there anything else I need to correct before I am unblocked? M J Hurter (talk) 10:05, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

@M J Hurter: OK, we are nearly there. I closed the deletion requests you created. Someone else fixed the license for your old pictures. Where File:Volkstaat Map.jpg and other similar maps come from? How old is File:Old South African Rand.jpg? Did you make File:Proposed Coat of arms of Cape Republic.png? What are the sources? Idem for your maps? There are a few more old pictures with the wrong license: File:Pretoria North.jpg, etc. Also you need to remove the frame for File:Maria Elizabeth Clara Van den Bergh.jpg (and any time you didn't take the picture of old paintings yourself). Yann (talk) 11:03, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

@Yann:Thank you. How do I remove the frame from File:Maria Elizabeth Clara Van den Bergh.jpg? Must I delete the image and reupload it? Thanks a lot, M J Hurter (talk) 11:31, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

@M J Hurter: No need to delete the file. See in your preferences, Gadgets then Interface: Editing and uploads. There you can enable CropTool. Then you will get a link in the margin (depending on the interface skin you use; with the default Vector, it is on the right). Yann (talk) 12:22, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, your help is much appreciated, M J Hurter (talk) 12:33, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Deletion of my badge of the 2e REP

Good morning, @Yann.

I noticed you deleted my badge of the 2e REP, claiming it to be "derivative", even tough it has the same licences of other military badges posted on this site. What is the problem here?

Filipe46 (talk) 14:48, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

@Filipe46: Hi,

Yes, this is a derivative work, but the issue is also who took this picture? Yann (talk) 15:01, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Good morning, thank you for your timely reply.

I did. I also made into a PNG without a background. Why? As I understand it, a military badge is not constrained by copyright. I see many military badges in here, what's the catch?

Filipe46 (talk) 15:11, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

@Filipe46: There is a copyright on military badges, as far as I can tell. These are not made the government, and works by the French government is under a copyright anyway. Only badges older than 1953 can be hosted on Commons. Yann (talk) 15:14, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Dear, @Yann

The badge is from 1948, Indochina. Even then, what is the course of action needed for this and other badges?

Filipe46 (talk) 15:23, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

OK, undeleted. Yann (talk) 15:41, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Dear, @Yann.

Thank you for your helpful patience. I have photographs of the Foreign Legion's museum and some medals that I may try to upload in the future. Can you point me to a guide in order to get everything right? I noticed you added a second warning on the page.

Best regards.

Filipe46 (talk) 16:14, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

@Filipe46: Yes, I added a license for the badge. You can read COM:DW about derivative works, and ask for help about copyright on COM:VPC. Yann (talk) 17:32, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Dear, @Yann.

Thank you very much, I will.

File:Cinematografica Victoria.jpg

Bonjour, je suis l'utilisateur Nipril, concernant le fichier nommé "Cinematografica Victoria.jpg", et votre prétendu droit d'auteur sur l'image, je dois vous informer que je n'ai trouvé aucune information concernant les licences respectives mentionnées, car les films produits par la société de production (y compris son logo) ne sont soumis à aucun type de licence en tant que tel dans le pays, de sorte qu'il peut facilement passer pour une image du domaine public. Je vous remercie de votre attention. Nipril (talk) 07:00, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

@Nipril: Bonjour,

Désolé, mais le copyright ou droit d'auteur ne fonctionne pas de cette façon.

De nos jours, presque tout est sous un copyright par défaut. Ce fichier n'est donc pas dans le domaine public, à moins que vous en apportez la preuve. Il sera donc supprimé à moins que vous donniez une licence valable. Pour cela, donner la source exacte, la date et l'auteur est nécessaire. Si vous avez besoin d'aider, vous pouvez demander sur Commons:Service d'aide ou Commons:Bistro. Merci de lire COM:L (ou la traduction en français). Cordialement, Yann (talk) 15:37, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Bonsoir, le problème est que je ne saurais pas quelle preuve vous donner, étant donné qu'en soi (comme je vous l'ai déjà dit) il n'y a pas de données sur l'auteur responsable du logo de l'entreprise, et de même pour les licences, la seule chose que je pourrais dire est que le logo est probablement apparu pour la première fois dans un film au milieu ou à la fin des années 70, mais pas beaucoup plus que cela. Mis à part le fait que j'ai capturé l'image elle-même à partir d'un de leurs films. Désolé pour le dérangement, j'espère que vous comprenez que je cherche désespérément l'auteur original du logo, c'est pourquoi j'ai créé l'article en tant que tel. Je vous remercie de votre attention. Nipril (talk) 22:29, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Flickypedia soft launch and a huge thank you

Dear fellow Commons photographer,

I hope this message finds you well. As you might already know, the Flickr Foundation has been busy creating a new Flickr-to-Commons bridge (“Flickypedia”) this year. After a successful demo at the GLAM Wiki Conference in Montevideo, the Flickr Foundation team is now inviting all members of the Commons Photographers User Group to be the first to review their alpha, reporting any technical issues or other feedback via the Flickypedia project talk page.

At the same time, this message is an opportunity for me to thank you for your trust and support over the past couple of years. Since 2017, we've grown into being one of the largest user groups in the Wikimedia universe. I've tremendously enjoyed interacting with all of our members when it came to joint photowalks at Wikimanias, virtual Zoom meetings where we covered a wide variety of photography topics, as well as our annual “Most memorable shot of the year”, among many other events. As I'm not running for an official position in our current board election, this will be my last message on behalf of the user group to you. Thanks for all the happy moments we shared together over the years! I hope you'll continue creating free images for the millions of people we serve through Wikipedia and Commons.

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:36, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

What is happening

Hi, Yann. What's happening? You reverted several of my taggings. In the past (not very long), you deleted several files I tagged as unsourced. I understand Geo Swan coming to hunting me, because that's what he is. He was indef. blocked in en.WP exactly because of this kind of behavior, but you? Some of the files I tagged, and you reverted, like File:Talismã.jpg, are obvious not "own work" and don't have a clear source. This is very very likely a copyvio. Others like Commons:Deletion requests/File:Wave to earth (2).jpg is a picture of a South Korean band, without any metadata, uploaded by a user from Brazil. This is, again, very likely taken from the internet. My work here is close related to my work at pt.WP. Most (if not all) of these uploads are from unreliable accounts. Kacamata! ^Dimmi!!! 20:39, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

@Kacamata: Hi,

Thanks for your message. Yes, I agree that File:Talismã.jpg is certainly not own work, but it has a (wrong) source. It would be better to create a proper DR, which I did. Depending on the date and the country, it might be OK. Idem for File:Wave to earth (2).jpg. Regards, Yann (talk) 21:07, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Normally, I tag files that are clearly not own work, have no metadata and were uploaded by an unreliable account as unsourced. Should I start creating a DR for all these kinds of files? Kacamata! ^Dimmi!!! 21:13, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

@Kacamata: At least, "no permission" is better than "no source". Yann (talk) 23:33, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Normally, I tag "no permission" when the metadata indicates that the image was uploaded by another person. I, honestly, have no issue starting a DR for every improper filled/likely copvio/taken from elsewhere image that I find here, but I think it's a waste of others people time, since, as I stated before, most of these images were uploaded by unreliable accounts. But, in these cases, it's better to tag as no permission or start a DR? Kacamata! ^Dimmi!!! 23:38, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

User:Kacamata, when I looked, a couple of days ago, I found 30 images you recently tagged with {{No source}}. You have asserted that they were all "clearly" not own work. I said I did not see the basis of your concern for File:Igreja paroquial de Lamelas.jpg, for File:Coração do Penedo do Cavaleiro.jpg, for File:Altar do Teixo e Stª Bárbara.jpg, for File:Bolos Podres de Lamelas.jpg. You haven't taken the time to go to their DRs to explain yourself.

So, I am skeptical of your bold assertion that ALL the "own work" images you tagged with {{No source}} were "clearly" not own work.

I took about ten minutes, and made a rough search through your contribution history, for how many edit summaries showed you tagged an image as {{No source}}. You did this about 2000 times. If your error rate on the first 2000 was the same as it is on last 30, I'm afraid your tagging triggered something like 300 completely valid images to be deleted.

Kacamata, you asserted I was "hunting you". Your tagging pattern triggered my concern. I've told you why, and I did my best to tell you politely. You said " Most (if not all) of these uploads are from unreliable accounts." Aren't these individuals entitled to have you tell them what they did that triggered your concerns? Now, maybe you did tell them, on the Portugese wikipedia. But, don't you think you should explain your concerns here too, so Yann and I, and other third parties can read your explanations, and reach our own conclusions as to how valid they are?

Kacamata, I dispute I was "hunting you", since I told you what triggered my concerns. But, if you target the contributions of these people, nominate their contributions for deletion, without fully explaining yourself, based on, well, prejudice against them, do you think they could say you were hunting them? Geo Swan (talk) 01:35, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Yann, if you allow me, I'll completely ignore Geo Swan message. If this talk page was mine, he would be reverted. I told them several to not send me any messages. I don't want to talk to them, because I don't believe they act in good faith, their history in the en.WP says all you need to know about them, what they are and what is their proposal here and in any WMF project. I'll not address "their concern" as I don't really care about what they think about me or my contributions in this project. I'm only interested in your opinion and advice here, because I believe in your good faith. Thanks for taking your time to answer me until now, and I'll be very open to listen to you if you want to answer my last message. Again, thank you very much. Kacamata! ^Dimmi!!! 03:21, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

• Yann, I too believe in good faith. I don't know what justification Kacamata thinks he has to challenge whether I operate in good faith. Yes, I was blocked on en.wiki. That block came after a mounting off-wiki hate campaign that lasted a decade. I didn't do what my accusers claimed I did. Not even close. I don't know what Kacamata thinks my en.wiki history shows. For many years I worked on very controversial articles. In doing so I put in considerable extra effort to show good faith, and patience. I think that is what my en.wiki record really shows. Nevertheless, because the topics were controversial, my efforts triggered animosity. I won't apologize for asserting I don't think I deserved that animosity at all.
• I believe every contributor on a WMF project, from Jimbo Wales on down to the barest newbie, should feel an obligation to act accountably. They should be able to either explain their edits and comments, or own up and say they made a mistake. Kacamata has asserted they only ignore uploader's "own work" claims when they are "clearly" bogus. I asked about 1 2 3 4 files they tagged where I thought the own work claim was credible. I think if he or she can't explain why they challenge these own work claims they should withdraw their claim they only apply {{Nosource}} when own work claims aren't credible. Geo Swan (talk) 04:32, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

@Kacamata: Where this is the slightest possibility that the file is OK for Commons (for whatever reason), a proper DR should be created, e.g. File:Grêmio Recreativo Cultural Escola de Samba Mocidade Alegre.jpg. This is not own work, but the image is in the public domain in Brazil. Yann (talk) 10:26, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

@Kacamata: I draw your attention to my update on Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Daniela_Pierre_Firme.jpg. You have stated or implied, here and elsewhere that your gut feeling a contributor is "unreliable" is sufficient justification to tag their images as {{No source}}. I'd like you to further explain and defend this justification for speedy deletion. In particular, I think these individuals deserve to have you spell out your concerns. First, it could be a simple misunderstanding; or second, it could be you had valid concerns, but they just didn't know any better, and will curb their behavior after your explanation of what they were doing wrong. Geo Swan (talk) 16:20, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Wave to earth (2).jpg questions...

You offered an image in [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Wave_to_earth_(2).jpg&diff=prev&oldid=831811966 this comment] of these musicians "wearing the same clothes".

And, in [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Wave_to_earth_(2).jpg&diff=next&oldid=831811966 your closure] you offered another image of the musicians wearing the same clothes.

Do you see these images as undermining the credibility of [[User:Leonor Gonçalves Rodrigues]]? Fans had an opportunity to take photos of the band. You found two fans who uploaded their photos to pinterest. Can I ask, do you think the existence of similar images, from other people, confirms [[User:Leonor Gonçalves Rodrigues]]'s own work assertion aren't credible? Yes, she might have copied an image from a place like pinterest. Or she still might have taken the images at the concert, just like she claimed.

You closed this discussion. Did you forget that you also opened it? Isn't it the normal practice to wait for a second administrator to close discussions one opened? Geo Swan (talk) 01:41, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

• Was the second image a duplicate of File:Wave to earth (2).jpg? Okay, an actual duplicate would have merited speedy deletion. But, in cases like that, in future, may I request that the deletion log says "copyright violation", not "per nom"? And that your closure also state "copyright violation"? Once the image is deleted a guy like me is merely going to see that it was similar.

So, was the second image an actual duplicate? I used tineye, and it didn't find any duplicates. How did you find it? Thanks Geo Swan (talk) 02:55, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

See the link I provided in the closure. It is the same image. So as a small image without EXIF data with copies on the Net, a speedy deletion is appropriate. If the uploader is the author, a permission via VRT is needed (probably with the original image with EXIF). I edited the DR, so that it won't be confusing. Yann (talk) 07:27, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks! Geo Swan (talk) 09:04, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

User doesn't understand concerns with his uploads

Yann, I see that you declined Commons:Undeletion_requests/Current requests#H_Baudu_wiki.jpg, and are a native Francophone, so I'm raising this issue with you instead of Didym, who I originally started writing to.

Didym deleted that and another file uploaded by Superka2711, leaving a message on the user's talk stating licensing grounds. The user doesn't understand the issue and instead of asking, has filed the undeletion request and has asked (in French) on English Wikipedia at the Teahouse noticeboard for new users. I see that the user is writing a biography—the statements at the Teahouse suggest it is an autobiography—in his sandbox on French Wikipedia, and has uploaded File:Hervé Baudu Ensm.jpg to illustrate it. Can you please explain to him in French what he needs to do to establish the right to use the image and to release it under an appropriate license? I'm going to note at the Teahouse discussion and/or one of his Wikipedia talk pages that I have left you this note. Many thanks. Yngvadottir (talk) 11:28, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

@Yngvadottir: Hi,

There may be 2 issues here. First if this is not a selfie, the copyright is owned by the photographer, so a permission is needed.

But more importantly, I am not sure this person is notable enough to have an article, and this user has no edit except his autobiography. So the image is out of scope for Commons. Regards, Yann (talk) 11:36, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for responding! I'm getting all tangled up in my rusty French trying to leave the editor a message on his talk page at en.wiki. He seems to be completely new; just welcome templates on both Wikipedia user talk pages. I agree about the draft, autobio or not, but it's in user space and French Wikipedia can deal with it anyway if they need to. On the image, that was my thinking, although given the subject's profession I suppose there might be the "military photographer in performance of their duties" exception to copyright. (Or taken on a timer?) But the problem is, the user appears to not understand at all what the problem is. I'm not sure whether he clicked through to see a translation of the speedy deletion notification template he received. But it's apparent that he needs a plain-language explanation in French that he needs to have pressed the button himself; and that he should upload it on French Wikipedia, not Commons. Yngvadottir (talk) 11:51, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

I wrote a message in French on his talk page on French WP. Regards, Yann (talk) 12:30, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:2023 Grindavik eruption.jpg

Hey Yann. Earlier, you said the image cannot be a FPC since it had a non-free license. That issue was resolved and can be seen that it is resolved in that nomination for deletion. As I am the nominator, I am unable to use the template to contest your quick deny of the picture for FPC. Since the original issue was quickly resolved (mere hours after the FPC decline), could you self-contest your decline and allow the image to continue as a FPC?

File:Mariuva 2.png

Thanks for answering my earlier questions.

{{FOP}} for otherwise valid images that contain a sculpture, where the sculptor has their own IP rights... Thanks!

Your deletion log entry for File:Mariuva 2.png says COM:WEBHOST. I left a note somewhere, about looking into this image. I am pretty sure I concluded the individual had a measure of notability.

I have participated in some discussions where other people have called for deletion of images on notability grounds, when, in their opinion, the individual in the image would never measure up to the wikipedia's WP:GNG. I've argued that this is too high a bar. BLP says that individuals whose notability is not sufficient for a standalone article may receive some coverage in a subsection of a related article.

So, an image of an actor who is not notable enough for a standalone article, may nevertheless end up being used to illustrate an article on a movie or play they appeared in. I think this puts these kinds of images in scope.

I've made this suggestion multiple times, in the last couple of weeks. No one has offered their own opinion as to how notable an individual should be before their selfies are in scope.

Free images of individuals are hard to find. This means that we can end up with free images that are not well lit, or are slightly distorted, because they are cropped from the edge of a larger picture. When a notable individual's vanity triggers a complaint about the free image we are using I encourage them to upload a selfie they like better.

I've asked whether other people thought I was giving those notable people bad advice.

Can I ask you to clarify your position on this? When someone with some measure of notability uploads a selfie, so their image would be in scope, is it your position it should, nevertheless, be deleted on Com:WEBHOST grounds?

Cheers! Geo Swan (talk) 18:23, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Her article was deleted on Portuguese Wikipedia, with only 2,290 Google hits, she is not notable enough to have an article. And this is most probably not a selfie, so the permission from the photographer is needed. Yann (talk) 20:04, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

Brasaomuller

Yes, the coat of arms is used in a Wiki, so the first attempt for deletion was wrong. But what about the copyright? As already said, I think this COA is maybe no real coat of arms of an existing family (the use in the article is OR). It's maybe just artwork and fantasy. Artwork is under the protection of copyright. So the proper reason for deletion is copyvio. (Please note the copyright sign in the file!) GerritR (talk) 16:47, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

@GerritR: Copyright violation of what? Can you show the source? Actually this CoA seems to exist: [5]. Yann (talk) 19:06, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

The COA in the source is slightly different, if you look exactly. But talking about copyvio, I refer to Commons:Pcp. The uploader has to prove that the image is not under protection of copyright. If not, we have to assume that it is protected.--GerritR (talk) 20:43, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

I think you are a bit confused about Commons:PRP. This is not a reason to delete anything without a valid rationale. This design could be old, so you have to provide some evidence that it is a copyright violation. Yann (talk) 20:47, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Age of Mythology: Retold trailer

Hi Yann!

As recent discussions tend to upload videos like game trailers with a CC license note, I wanted to ask if it makes also sense to upload the Age of Mythology: Retold trailer to Commons?

I apologise if I said anything I shouldn’t’ve done - I intended to just relay information from enwiki that I thought was relevant (that a mediawiki dev’s comment implied that it wouldn’t be recommended to undelete a file at the same time it’s due to go on the main page), though I apologise if it was inappropriate.

Mad Doctor

Yann, I have reservations about File:The Mad Doctor (1933).webm. It contains the Pluto character, as mentioned in the comment next to the "Undelete in 2027" category which you removed. That character was not introduced at all until 1930, and probably only became a "character" in 1931. Secondly, the appearance of Mickey Mouse changed over time, and each film can add a derivative "layer" to a character, which will only expire layer by layer as 95 years is up on each of them. Per this site, there were some significant changes made to how Mickey was drawn in 1929, and those would not expire until next year. I would wait longer to restore this one. Perhaps next year, the Mickey related stills would be OK, but probably 2027 for the Pluto bits. I would really only restore Mickey stuff which came out in 1928, at this juncture. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:10, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

OK, I redeleted this. It is very confusing what works of Disney can be undeleted, and what can't. Yann (talk) 15:15, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Yes. 1928 releases are a full go. After that, you get into argumentation on if there were copyrightable aspects added later (if a film was not renewed, etc.). But if those 1929+ works (which introduced any copyrightable changes/enhancements to the character, be it appearance or backstory or stuff like that) are still under copyright, then there could be an arguable problem if those aspects appear in later films which were not directly renewed. That link seems to mention two specific appearance changes which first appeared in 1929, so unless those movies were also not renewed, I'd tread carefully. But those additions would expire next year. The Pluto part though is more obvious for 2-3 more years. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:22, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

@Clindberg and Yann: I made the note to not restore the file until 2027 because I was concerned that Pluto's name and status as Mickey's dog was not established until 1931. Also, I don't know whether there's some elements introduced in 1932 that The Mad Doctor also incorporates; I haven't looked too deeply into Disney historical lore, but I think the shorts are standalone enough that it's not like there's some overarching continuity to worry about as such.

I won't contest the restoration, but what is our evidence this was published in 1930 rather than 1935-1937? Abzeronow (talk) 18:50, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Undeletion of *post-Steamboat-Willie* Mickey Mouse appearance

Hi Yann; I have closely followed the news on Mickey Mouse as the character appeared in Steamboat Willie becoming public domain in the US (though not in Europe, as, for example, Germany, France, and Switzerland have treaties with the US that grant the work protection of 70 years pma, which is 2042 for Ub Iwerks - but this doesn't matter for a US work on Commons, of course). It's great that we can now host images of Mickey Mouse in the original appearance of the character. However, I have also read that this only applies to the very first, more "rat-like" design of Mickey Mouse (without gloves) yet; that is, an article for example explicitly stated that it doesn't apply to the later, more rounded design of Mickey Mouse with white gloves. So I wouldn't have undeleted File:Walt Disney and his cartoon creation "Mickey Mouse" - National Board of Review Magazine.jpg, as this is clearly not the Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse but a later design - that will probably become public domain in two or three years, too, but I think it's too early now. Gestumblindi (talk) 19:46, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi, There are more publications of Mickey in 1928 than the movie. See File:Mickey Mouse Color Stock Poster (Celebrity Productions era, 1928).jpg. Yann (talk) 19:48, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

If this poster was really published in 1928, then I "rest my case" and am satisfied - but then I still find it curious that others explicitly say that only the original version of Mickey Mouse without gloves has become public domain, for example here (in German, "Einerseits betrifft das abgelaufene Copyright nur die alte Version von Micky Maus, die beispielsweise keine Handschuhe trägt")... Gestumblindi (talk) 19:52, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

There is no doubt about the publication date. See also the DR, where it was extensively discussed: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Mickey Mouse Color Stock Poster (Celebrity Productions era, 1928).jpg. The irony is that, since there is no copyright notice in this poster, this appearance of Mickey is probably in the public domain since 1928. But the point is moot now... Yann (talk) 19:54, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, this is really interesting information, I will pass it on to German-language's Wikipedia community where we also have a discussion about Mickey Mouse (more of a theoretical one, as we will not use these images for German-language Wikipedia due to the 70 years pma protection in German-language countries).

Hi Yann,

Can you please remove the old version of File:The Kid scenes.ogv? It has an audio track that should not be there. The video is fine, so I replaced it with an audio-less version.

I will very shortly upload a frame-for-frame replacement for this clip, from a new (much better) transfer of the movie, which I'm currently uploading (waiting for a server-side upload for the full version, since it's almost 4GiB, but no problem with uploading a short clip using the chunked uploader, I presume).

File:Gulkana_Glacier.jpg

Hi, Yann - please see where the original discussion challenging the id of one of my images was taking place (see my last edit on that page). I shot the image during a trip to Alaska to visit friends who live there, and they told me it was Castner Glacier. While still the challenge is still in discussion, a retired Commons editor came in and made a rename move from File:Castner Glacier.jpg to File:Gulkana_Glacier.jpg before I was able to gather verifiable information confirming the glacier's identification. My image was used here, and in a few articles. The editor challenging the identification provided links to photographs by various photogs, one of which the photog themselves stated they were not sure their image was of Gulkana. "I could be mistaken, this could be Canwell Glacier, also in this general area." In summary, none of what the challenger provided is conclusive evidence as to the ID of the glacier. This image has a lake in front of it, and I never saw that lake during my visit. Can you please look into this? If it turns out that I was misinformed by my Alaskan friends who were kind enough to take us on a guided tour to that location during our travel to Valdez to go fishing, I will take the proper steps to correct the error. I just do not think it's right for it to be moved before I have had an opportunity to confirm and provide verifiable information (there are no GPS coordinates in any of the challenger's evidence). Thx in advance! ^Atsme _Talk 📧 20:58, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

@Atsme: Hi,

I am sorry, but I am of little help here. I don't know that place, and I have never been to Alaska, so I can't who is right, or who isn't. There may be people on Commons who know that place. Please ask on COM:VP. Regards, Yann (talk) 21:53, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

It doesn't matter if you know it, Yann. What matters is that someone moved the file without permission while a discussion is still ongoing, and that was inappropriate. ^Atsme _Talk 📧 22:08, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

@Atsme: OK, may be. But what do you want now? It seems to me that renaming it back now isn't the right way to solve this issue. This would be the start of an edit-war. The only way I see is a confirmation of that place. Then it can be renamed. Regards, Yann (talk) 22:13, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Hmmm... so I can challenge any image on Commons that I think is misnamed - one that has been in the same place for 8+ years - move it to where I think it should be with no verifiable proof beyond what a other photographers say (their word only), ignore the ones who say differently, and an admin cannot move it back? I will keep that in mind for future reference. Oh, and they are the ones who have been edit warring. ^Atsme _Talk 📧 22:30, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

@Atsme: I don't understand why you are angry after me. They should have got your permission before editing and renaming the image, but Pierre Selim seems to agree with Ron Clausen, and it is true that the images on Flickr labelled as "Gulkana Glacier" are very similar. This may not be a definite proof, but these are reasons to question the name of the place. Regards, Yann (talk) 08:50, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

I really think it's unfortunate to have renamed the file before the discussion is settled (no matter what is my opinion on the topic). I should have declined the rename request when I could, another user proceed with the renaming :(

I think looking for a wider audience on the topic still matters, we want to provide accurate information, Maybe VP or a wiki project where people are knowledgeable about this place. PierreSelim (talk) 12:11, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, PierreSelim. Yann, I could never be angry with you. We go back too many years for that to happen. Admittedly, I was a little frustrated over the impatience of others, and probably more frustrated with myself for not taking better care of my original image files, including the cell phone images that have the GPS coordinates. I'm also reminded of the old adage...Thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken. 🤗 ^Atsme _Talk 📧 16:24, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
