Personality rights[edit]

Please make sure that you add {{Personality rights}} to portrays that you upload. It warns people that they cannot use this photo for eg. ads without permission of the person. (And BTW, the tag does not say that there is a problem with your picture.) --rtc (talk) 18:22, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]


I added words to this effect some time back and it was deleted because Wikipedia does not allow "limited use" photos. Separate laws cover the issue you are discussing. Listing "personality rights" seems to be redundant.

Additionally, where exactly is "personality rights" displayed on the upload site? I have never seen it prior to your mentioning it.

The personality rights tag is an additional warning, not a license, so it is not listed on the upload site. You are right that laws separate from copyright cover the issue: personality rights. If you add these restrictions ("words to this effect") to your license (or write them in such a way that they can be misunderstood to be part of your license, by not using this ready-made tag), then, of course, the picture is going to be deleted, because then not merely the portrayed person could sue for ads use, but also you as the photographer, and we don't want that. The tag is necessary because people often misunderstand the copyright license as giving them permission to use the picture in any way they want, including for ads. --rtc (talk) 22:07, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:KUSI-TV[edit]

Just for your information: I created Category:KUSI-TV because of the high number of images that seemed to apply. I figured you would want to know about it, in case it applies to your studio photos or other relevant photos. (I added about 80 images to the category based on what images appeared to have "KUSI" and "San Diego" in them.) --Closeapple (talk) 10:46, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Categories[edit]

Hello. Category:Marilyn Monroe has 8 subcategories, which means that File:Marilyn Monroe in Niagara.jpg only needs one. In the same way, Category:Phil Konstantin has 12 subcategories, which means that File:PhilKonstantinByPhilKonstantin.jpg only needs one. Unless of course you wish to add the name of the photographer or some other particular detail, as in File:PhilKonstantin.jpg. I hope this explanation makes sense. Best regards, Mu (talk) 06:55, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Vernix category[edit]

Hi Philkon,

This photo File:JazlynRoseVernixByPhilKonstantin.jpg is really usefull to show the vernix on the baby, but I am afraid, the category Vernix on Commons is a village in France and nothing to do with baby vernix. I recommanded you to create another category for the baby vernix. Sorry --Moonik (talk) 15:55, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: I have modified some of your photos into a "virtual reality" format[edit]

Hi Phil,

They are great! I looks them with pleasure. --Moonik (talk) 11:40, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Change of licenses[edit]

FYI, I've started a thread on the village pump (Commons:Village Pump#Changing PD to free license) regarding your recent changes from PD to cc-by-sa on some of your works. I can certainly understand why you would want to make such a change, but I'm not sure if that should be encouraged. Or if its even enforceable, you did put the works into the public domain.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:19, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I don't think you have done anything wrong, and are just trying to ensure your work is credited in the way you'd prefer. Its the general principle that's more of concern to me (re-licensing works in PD under more restrictive conditions). Your case is probably an acceptable example of such a change, but it may not be appropriate to do the same in all cases.--Nilfanion (talk) 23:58, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File:WheelerPeakNevadaByPhilKonstantin.jpg[edit]

From the angle you took your picture from, you cannot actually see Wheeler Peak. Instead, the peak directly to the east of Wheeler, Jeff Davis Peak, is the one you see in your photo. Famartin (talk) 06:34, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:01, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please note, that overwriting an image with another one is against Wikimedia Commons rules. Use another name, if you need.

Please note also, that if you wish to delete an image you need to start a Deletion request providing a valid deletion reason, consistent with the deletion policy. And a decission whether to follow your request, or reject it is up to the community. Ankry (talk) 08:13, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've replaced the image on w:da:Tv-meteorolog and wikt:pl:pogodynek so he's less "in the picture". I hope that's enough for Dave Scott. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 10:40, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Ankry: there is a derivative work issue though and it's hard to justify this as DM. I can blur it, but there's nothing to do atm as the page is protected. And we just might consider deletion after all. The subject doesn't like it, it's only in use because of the forecast in the background (which has copyright issues), not because of Dave Scott in particular and after blurring it wouldn't be any use for that anymore either. And the nature of the photo (his "well I dunno" face) makes it a less than ideal candidate for an infobox image if Dave had an article. I'd be undecided at this point regarding deletion or not. Depends on how well known Dave is and third party usage of this image, which I haven't dug into. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 13:37, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There is some third party usage actually, like [1] and [2] though those only use it to illustrate weather presenters in general. The San Diego Union-Tribune does refer to Dave Scott in particular though. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 13:54, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If there is a copyright related issue, please explain it in the DR. I think that as the image was present here for 10+ years, a week or two more should not be a problem. @Alexis Jazz: your substitution at plwikt seem to be reverted. Ankry (talk) 14:38, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Ankry: The DR? What DR are you talking about? I see no DR. And starting one isn't possible either! - Alexis Jazz ping plz 23:07, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Alexis Jazz: Why it cannot be started? If there is a copyright related problem, DR can be started. Ankry (talk) 05:05, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Ankry: Sure, let me apply for adminship first so I can edit the protected file page..</sarcasm> - Alexis Jazz ping plz 08:53, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Alexis Jazz: Well, sorry, unprotected. Ankry (talk) 11:34, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info. I was unaware of the process for deleting a photo. I did add something to some sort of DR page. There is no Dave Scott page, nor does he come up in any search for his name. This photo does not really demonstrate a meteorologist actually doing anything related to their work. Dave is a local broadcaster. He is not well known outside of San Diego. The subject specifically contacted me and asked if the photo could not be used as it portrays him in less than a professional light. I know some of my previous photos have been deleted without my ever being informed. Ex: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:CamasSignPhilKonstantin.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1 Philkon (talk) 16:27, 24 January 2020 (UTC) Phil K This is the DR page I added the info to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Undeletion_requests/Current_requests[reply]

COM:UDR is to restore already deleted images. This one is not. Ankry (talk) 05:05, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There should be a "Nominate for deletion" link in the tools area in the left side when you go to the image page -- see See Commons:Deletion requests#Starting_requests. Use that and repeat the above informantion there, while perhaps also adding that it is the uploader's request, wanting to delete it so to not harm a relationship with the subject. Normally we don't delete an image just because a subject wants us to, but if the uploader also wants it removed in light of that, it could well be different. Files can be deleted for copyright reasons, or (in your example) it looks like you uploaded a photo twice and one of the duplicates was deleted (File:CamasMeadowsByPhilKonstantin.jpg is the existing one). Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:11, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have clicked on the "Nominate for Deletion" link beside the photo which someone restored. I filled out the appropriate information. Philkon (talk) 18:32, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
