Hello Binksternet!

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.

To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.

You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

Thank you. BotMultichillT (talk) 22:35, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you uploaded a file using the name File:PregnantWoman.jpg. A file by this name already existed on Commons. Overwriting an existing file should not be done except when making minor, uncontroversial corrections, so the file has been restored to its previous version. If the file that you attempted to upload is within our project scope and is in the public domain or published under a free license, please upload it again under a different name. Thank you. For more information, please see Commons:Overwriting files.

Wrong. No upload. I reverted your change to the image. Binksternet (talk) 01:49, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Final warning. Please refrain from overwriting the image. The layout was that way since 2006. --  Docu  at 05:14, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You can't just upload over an image because it suits English language Wikipedia. Commons images are in use on many other website.
If you upload over an existing image, this breaks uses there. Please refrain from doing this.
For English Wikipedia, either you have to upload your new version under another name or wait for Commons:Undeletion_requests/Current_requests#File:Pregnant_woman.jpg to be done. --  Docu  at 05:20, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You are defending someone from 2006 who flipped the image rather than create a new flipped one with a different name. The original image should stay in its correct position while those who need a mirror image version should create a new image. I have done exactly that: File:PregnantWoman mirror image.jpg. That should satisfy everybody. Binksternet (talk) 15:19, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
In 2006, this would have been the right thing to do.
Since then, the images may have many reusers and by re-uploading, you alter their websites without them noticing.
If you are making editorial decisions at English Wikipedia, please try to make them by editing there, not altering everybody else's content. --  Docu  at 17:50, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrol given[edit]

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. INeverCry 20:01, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As per this please fix the licencing, because as it stands now it is a copyright violation. russavia (talk) 13:30, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are now active again on this project, so you would have seen this message. Is there any reason you refuse to fix the licencing on this image? russavia (talk) 09:59, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nevermind, I have deleted your uploaded image as it lacked correct licencing information. But what I have done is undeleted the original image, as it is in scope, and we don't delete images on this project based purely on who created them. You will find the original at File:Laketahoewhalebeach.jpg. I have also gone ahead and used CropTool to crop the nude male standing on the beach and have placed it at the same namespace as your upload. It also has the EXIF data intact now as well. I am unsure as to why you would opine to delete an image and then around and upload a cropped version of the image. It's astounding to me. russavia (talk) 12:21, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As you can see, he undeleted this photo and File:Pyramidlakenv.jpg out of process because of the perceived drama. I've started a new DR on both photos.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 16:18, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Recent AFDs[edit]

It's too bad about Flopinot. If he would have provided more information about when these pieces were actually performed, and by whom, then many of them might be acceptable at Commons. Template:PD-US-record is very permissive, after all. That template apparently allows any recording up to 1972, as long as the stuff was composed before 1923 (per Template:PD-1923).Anythingyouwant (talk) 05:02, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you're right. Depending on the duration of the example, lots of leeway. Flopinot should have said where he got those ones rather than saying it was his "own work." Binksternet (talk) 02:57, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Issue with request from Ellin Beltz for you to reexamine two sites to which I have uploaded material[edit]

Hello, Binksternet,

I am a new contributor to Wikipedia, although I have been a published writer for over 50 years. Ellin Beltz has asked you to look at two entries, Joseph Fuller and Robert Perless. I wrote the Fuller article and it was approved last week after I removed promotional references. There are 18 citations to magazines and newspapers like the New York Times. We have had problems with the attribution of some of the photos, because fuller forgot that he had not taken all himself. he told me to enter them as mine, but now we have COM:OTRS forms coming in on all of them that were taken by photogrpahers.

My husband tried to have me upload a photograph that you have previously rejected when it was submitted by jmoskowitz who wrote the Robert Perless article. He has filled out a COM:OTRS form as both the photographer and the sculptor of the work photographed and sent it in today under Ticket#2016070910010555.Hopefully, that will end the problem with the image.

But there is a much bigger issue. I am very disturbed that Ms. Beltz has raised issues that the articles are "promotional." The Robert Perless article was approved three years ago. Because it still asked for a citation ON ONE POINT, yesterday, I provided a reference to the New York Times article with the information. There are numerous references in this article as well, and it satisfied your Editorial staff three years ago. It is not fair that because I posted a new photograph and provided an asked-for reference that the question of "promotional" nature be raised after the article was approved three years ago. I am afraid to update the article. Because Robert's sculpture is kinetic,we should really link to his videos on YouTube of the work in motion. But I am afraid to do so.

I appreciate that all material on Wikipedia must be substantiated by external references. But when I provided one, a Wikimedia Commons Editor called conceptual material into question, which I do not think is fair.

I believe that because I am new at submitting images, Ms. Beltz feels that everything I have touched is somehow poisoned. I do not think that it is fair for her to call content into question that has already been approved by other Editors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eperless (talk • contribs) 19:07, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Eperless (talk) 19:07, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the Robert Perless biography and made some changes. I pruned some prose that was too flowery or needlessly personal, and because of the WP:SYNTH guideline I removed a quote about kinetic art that had no explicit connection to Perless, but was merely being used to lend an air of authority. I also tweaked the text to fit with Wikipedia's house style, for instance to remove a handful of "Robert" first names when only the surname is needed, per WP:LASTNAME.
Note that Wikipedia is a digital encyclopedia, not a traditional one. The articles on Wikipedia are subject to continuous review by volunteer editors. There is no plan or intention to freeze articles in place once a particular version has been "approved" by a few editors. Binksternet (talk) 01:36, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reply[edit]

Thank you for making clear how Wikipedia works. I agree that the stylistic changes you made are much better as communication. I did not write it, remember; that was jmoskowitz' style.

It is a little disheartening to think that everyone is open to making changes because the feel like it.

The fact is, I uploaded photos that were given to me as wholly owned by Fuller. That turned out not to be true, and I have put in place the OTRS forms that should be filled out in a couple of days. What I don't understand is why Robert's Orion's Belt Perless.jpg, which is a sculpture and photo that he took of it is constantly being rejected. Perhaps you or Ms. Beltz could explain. He has filled out and sent in the OTRS form.

Eperless (talk) 01:15, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]


ping Eperless: I am disturbed by the lack of belief in good faith being manifest in various communications on my talk page [1], the help desk [2] and Binkster's talk page.
I'm an administrator and bureaucrat on Commons, I have those roles by consensus of the community and work with a spirit of good faith COM:AGF to keep copyrighted images off Commons.
There's nothing about lack of fairness here despite the word "unfair" being tossed around. I nominate and work with deletions all the time and I don't think I've ever seen a Deletion decision made "unfairly", there are rules and guidelines we have to follow. If someone thinks a decision was made incorrectly, they can, as Mrs. Perless has done, go to COM:UNDEL and request help. Another administrator takes a look at it and takes any appropriate action. The system has checks and balances in it to prevent additional issues.
How this all began was that Mrs. Perless uploaded at least one image which was formerly uploaded by someone else, each claiming "own work", which was a little unusual, and I looked at the histories of the articles involved to see if there were indications of sockpuppetry. What I saw instead was a little bit of WP:COI, and edits by both Jmoskovitz and Eperless on the page. As part of the process, I found that Mrs. Perless had uploaded images by at least four photographers. The appropriate system measures were initiated to obtain permissions. Those measures are standard and ordinary, we work with hundreds to thousands of incorrectly licensed images every day. I don't know why but a few people get personally upset about it. Finding images with problems of copyright happen all day every day here. It's not a judgement, just a process.
As part of our customer service, I asked Binkster to get involved to help the articles not to hurt the articles, the subjects or any user. I asked other administrators with OTRS abilities to take a look for the tickets which had previously been filed because I do not have OTRS rights. The images covered by OTRS have been taken care of and Mrs. Perless was notified by ~riley of the changes.
As Binkster said, on Wikipedia there is no approval by other editors, nor are the articles locked down in some form never to be changed; they evolve. The Perless page was not "bad", but it did not follow the guidelines for Biographies of Living Persons (BLP) and general page issues. I have not looked back at the page because I know Binkster is a wonderful Wikipedia editor and would do the best job of getting the page in line with the guidelines which is why I asked for his help.
I would appreciate that any negative opinions towards the process get applied to positive thoughts about the protection of the artists', architects' and photographers' rights instead of hurt feelings for having been caught uploading someone else's work as their own. The solution is very simple and the processes of filing COM:OTRS are underway. So no worries. Some of our best contributors and even admins got started with having one or more of their images deleted for copyright reasons - some vastly more arcane than "not your own work." Everyone has a camera now, how about taking some new pictures? Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 19:21, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reply[edit]

I do not think that Conflict of Interest applies because all that I did was upload a photograph of a sculpture that Robert Perless created and photographed and I supplied citations that moskowitx did not know about. I did not change the copy in any way.

I did not upload photographs by four photographers on Fuller's page. I uploaded a Robert Perless photograph on the Robert Perless page and said that it was his work.

I was told that all the work sent me by fuller was his own and that I should just enter it as mine. Mot of it turns out to be Kyle Norton's, and he has submitted OTRS forms for the images we used.

The photographer who took the photograph of Townsend Harris Hall for Fuller has posted it on flickr, unknown to Fuller. He is contacting her. Question: is flickr an open platform, and can we simply trace it back to flickr without permissions?

Robert and I are both inundated and his sculptures are thousands of miles away. There is no reason for him to take new photographs of anything. He owns this work.But now that I think I understand the COM:OTRS system. be assured that I will ALWAYS use the form if the camera was not physically in my hands.

Thank you for your help.

Flickr2Commons[edit]

I have just come across a few images you have recently uploaded from Flickr. I would appreciate it if in the future, you used the Flickr2Commons tool. This tool allows images to be moved to Commons from Flickr without having to download the images to your own computer. It also brings in the largest resolution of the image, as well making sure to list the correct license and url, making it easy for the automated Flickr Review system. Also, it is fairly easy to categorize images with this tool. To use it, you just need to go to the url and authorize it (where it says "authorise first").

Hi! It has come to my attention that you have removed a warning which says that a file doesn't have enough information about the source or license conditions. Nevertheless, it seems to me that this information is still missing and I have restored the tag. You may either add the required information or, if you think that required information is already given, put the image up for a deletion request so that it won't automatically be deleted. Thank you.

You improperly marked a group of photos for deletion. The problem was created by you. Binksternet (talk) 12:31, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have put these files on deletion but requested a permission. Nevertheless it's up to an Administrator to close such a debate, not you. I've you have something to say about these files feel free to do it at the appropriate page (which fortunately is indexed elsewhere to prevent vandalism). --Patrick Rogel (talk) 13:59, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This media may be deleted.
Thanks for uploading File:Jacki Sorensen portrait.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Andrea Dworkin image[edit]

I see you have uploaded this image:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dworkin_on_After_Dark.JPG

Unfortunately you have unintentionally infringed the copyright of a company called Open Media Ltd (more detail on this company can be found at en:Open Media). Open Media holds all rights in the television programme from which this image derives. As your notes to the image say, you took it from a "different frame from the same video sequence", so one can presume you grabbed this dark and very small (19KB) screenshot from an illegal copy of Open Media's programme.

From this account you will appreciate that it also not correct to state - as you currently do on the page - that the image was "Uploaded by Open Media Ltd." and by me, User:AnOpenMedium.

The easy thing would be for you to apologise for this accidental breach of copyright, and to replace the image with the one you removed, which we licensed for use on Wikipedia some nine years ago:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/9/93/20211013004620%21Dworkin_on_After_Dark.JPG

Alternatively you can leave it to me to delete the new image and raise this issue with those who monitor copyright infringement on Wikipedia. You may find this article helpful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_image_deletion

My intent was to give Dworkin a better representation in the world, using an image that did not make her look like a charging feral pig. If you don't like the shot I chose, can you choose another shot from the same source, one that captures a more neutral appearance? Many thanks. Binksternet (talk) 15:45, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That is an editorial comment, [probably best raised on the Talk page of the article itself. Please deal with the copyright infringement asap. Thank you. AnOpenMedium (talk) 15:48, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I am curious to know which part is specifically the copyright violation; you pointed to two problems. If it is solely the "uploaded by" section, I can edit that, or you can. If the concern is solely that the frame was taken from an "illegal" copy of the television show, you can fix it by choosing a better, more neutral frame. But the image you initially uploaded is disrespectful to Dworkin's memory, and the world is not a better place if it is restored. Binksternet (talk) 15:54, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Binksternet. As the OTRS volunteer who processed permissions from the program, I've restored the earlier version because we do not have a license for the new frame, and Commons is only able to accept freely licensed content or content that is in the public domain. There are no other frames than the one originally uploaded that are licensed for our display. If you think the image is unsuitable, you may want to explore deleting it entirely, but we can't replace it with a better image to which the terms of the permission do not apply. Only projects with an "Exemption Doctrine Policy" are allowed to use non-free content, and Commons is explicitly not allowed to do that. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:44, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the note. Yes, I would like to see the image replaced with another, more neutral one. I am hoping AnOpenMedium will be sympathetic to my concerns, and will return to the old footage and select another frame. Binksternet (talk) 19:49, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
