Bow Wow

Hi -

Can you explain why File:Bow Wow.png was marked as a copyright violation? I found it at http://www.flickr.com/photos/40257335@N04/3838339368/ where it was posted with a CC-BY license. I used TinEye to search for other copies of that photo, in case it was copied to Flickr from a copyrighted source, but was unable to find any. Tim Pierce (talk) 20:00, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

The one who requested the speedy deletion noted, that this is an “obvious promotional image” and I agree in this case. --Polarlys (talk) 21:23, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. It may be that the photo was a copyright violation, but it is not at all "obviously" so when the photo has an explicit licensing tag and no promotional copy of the photo can be easily found. This should have been sent to Commons:Deletion requests. Would you be willing to undelete the photo so it can be submitted through that process? Tim Pierce (talk) 21:38, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Sure.

Some additions from my perspective:

Look at all the blurry puppy shots from an bird’s eye view. Then look at this photo. Same photographer?

Look at the licensing. All rights reserved., Some rights reserved., All rights reserved. Pretty random in my eyes.

Finally look at http://www.upscaleswagger.com/tag/bow-wow/ and http://www.yazmar.com/2010/04/04/new-musicbow-wow-texting-me/. Same shooting. Same clothing. Same style. Definitely not freely licensed. :) --Polarlys (talk) 22:35, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

PS: photographer Scott Gries, see http://www.upscaleswagger.com/2009/05/01/bow-wows-new-photoshoot/. --Polarlys (talk) 22:36, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

PPS: How did I find them? Just search for "bow wow" on Google Image Search and choose the optional color "red". --Polarlys (talk) 22:38, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for following up on this. I didn't see any of these photos on the first few pages of Google Image results for Bow Wow -- if I had, I would not have uploaded the image. Tim Pierce (talk) 16:30, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, Tim. But that image is more than obviously a copyright violation. Please don't be so gullible to believe every licence you see on flickr. There is the more than well-known fact that people collect images and many of them upload those they like best for others to see them. Flickr-users are no exception to that. But when you see a picture that is too good to be true than don't switch your brain off and take the easy way. No, you first check. In this case even a little check at the other contributions of that Flickr-user would have made you notice that the uploader is a teenage girl (my estimate is 16 years old) while the image was a professional shot. And if nothing else then this fact should have made you thinking. But for that you would need to be interested in actually wanting to see a copyright problem. -- Cecil (talk) 23:19, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

There is no need for you to be so rude. Tim Pierce (talk) 16:30, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Just stating the facts. It is great when people try to illustrate Wikipedia articles but it seems that many of them do that no matter what and try to ignore all the signs. See a good image, one minute research and upload here. And later they tell it was not obvious. Sorry if you consider the truth as rude but maybe if you would have done any research you would not have to encouter it. -- Cecil (talk) 18:31, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

File:Ajay-Devgan-LondonDreams01.jpg

Hi there! I noticed you deleted File:Ajay-Devgan-LondonDreams01.jpg (log), which I had marked as a copyright violation. If I'm not mistaken, I pointed out that it was only the last two revisions uploaded by Shrikrishna 3 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user that should be deleted. Did you happen to miss that notice, or did you conclude that the original, overwritten version was also a copyvio? —LX (talk, contribs) 19:15, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

I missed the notice, I think. --Polarlys (talk) 18:11, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Civil War

Hello. I've seen that you have requested the deletion of some posters from the Spanish Civil War. The are some posters like this File:S19.jpeg that should be deleted because are signed works: the author of that work is José (or Josep) Bardasano, who died in 1979. But in the other hand, there are some posters that have no signature of their author, so they're anonymous, and as long as the SCW ended 71 years ago, they're in PD, like File:S27.jpeg -if there is a real way of proving it's authory, then should also be deleted if necessary- or File:S17.jpeg this. The poster of the farmers ladies and the "no pasarán" one are signed but I can't identify the author, so I don't know what should We do. --Coentor (talk) 10:46, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

„I don’t know the author“ ≠ anonymous work. Do some research and then tell us why these files are anonymous. --Polarlys (talk) 18:09, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

BTW: Commons:Deletion requests/File:S27.jpeg. On single internet search gives you a result, please don't use the license template this way. --Polarlys (talk) 18:15, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Image "Shitala Devi (Hindu smallpox goddess).JPG" licence

I took this image from File:Chl329.JPG (in the English Wikipedia)
There is a free licence {{PD-self|date=January 2008}}, but I don't know how to reflect this licence here in Wikimedia Commons. I just change the file's name because Chl329 is not friendly.
--Rosarino (talk) 03:08, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi! You did nothing wrong. The problem is, that there are a lot of unsourced images on en.wikipedia.org (like this one). --Polarlys (talk) 19:21, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Finlandia.gif

Hi! I'm not sure which image Finlandia.gif, which you deleted for copyright violation, was. Maybe you can explain how I violated copyright law, so that I can learn. In the future, I would appreciate a more detailed edit description, especially if you delete speedily and there is a risk that the uploader may not have the opportunity to check the picture before it's gone. Sincerely, --Jonund (talk) 20:33, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Löschungen im Allgemeinen und im Besonderen

Hallo Polarlys!
Du hast kürzlich File:DB Museum Nürnberg - DB-Webeplakat "Für Sie bin ich immer da. Ihr Meer. Die Bahn fährt sie hin" der Deutschen Bundesbahn, um 1980.jpg^DR und File:DB Museum Nürnberg - DB-Webeplakat "Go easy Go Bahn".jpg^DR gelöscht. Die Begründung war jeweils "deleted". Kein "as per sycro" und/oder eine faktischer Begründung. Es wäre super, wenn Du künftig bei Löschaktionen eine genauere Begründung abgeben könntest. Ich hätte nämlich gerne etwas Sicherheit, damit ich nicht in Zukunft wieder umsonst tätig werde (Fotografieren, Hochladen). Könntest Du mir erklären, wieso die Werbeplakate der Deutschen Bundesbahn keine amtliches Werke sein sollen? Danke, --Mattes (talk) 19:16, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Hallo! Vornweg: Ich formuliere kein Begründung, wenn dem Löschantragstext nichts hinzuzufügen ist oder zwischen verschiedenen Standpunkten abgewogen werden muss. Ob ich nun bei einer Löschdiskussion, die ausschließlich aus dem Antragstext besteht, nun „as per sycro“ schreibe oder nichts, ändert inhaltlich nichts. Der Grund für die Löschung war, dass es sich bei den Plakaten um kein amtliches Werk handelt. Weshalb sollten sie erfasst werden? Weil die DB ein Staatsunternehmen ist? Grüße, --Polarlys (talk) 00:14, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Danke, das is OK. Ich denke, dass die DB bis in die 1980er Jahre ihre Plakate noch selbst gefertigt hat (Motiv, Sprüche usw.), außer die eigentliche Produtkion. Belegen kann ich das aber nicht. Sei's drum. Schönen Sommertag wünscht --Mattes (talk) 06:51, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Files for deletion?

Hello, I see that on March 22, 2010, you have deleted the File:Buada Lagoon.jpg because the permission was considered insufficient. I also see that this file was actually one in a series of 21 photos uploaded by the same user, on the same day, February 20, 2007 (log), from the same website ([1]), with the same permission. The other 20 photos are still here. I'm guessing that logically they should be deleted for the same reason? if so, can you take care of that also, please? Thanks. -- Asclepias (talk) 20:17, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! Have a good weekend, --Polarlys (talk) 11:47, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

File:Map of Ethnic Groups in Afghanistan, by district.svg

Hi, I've come across this crazy looking map made with errors which goes against the 4 CIA ethnolinguistic maps. I was wondering if you can delete this now or leave a comment on it. I hate seeing maps made by users which contains missing ethnic groups. Thanks!--Officer (talk) 03:50, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

This map is not helpful but instead creating huge problems. Someone with political agenda created this map which washes away some ethnic groups and makes another group smaller and this leads to uprisings by some ethnic groups in Afghanistan when their leaders see this online. This is why deadly attacks on western forces in Afghanistan are on the rise because some of those Afghans think that they are being ethnic cleansed by the western armies. If you are a westerner, you are putting your own soldiers at risk.--Officer (talk) 20:11, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

I can’t decide in this case since I am not familiar with the content of the file. Thank you for understanding. --Polarlys (talk) 11:49, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello Polarlys,

File File:Musa-dagh.gif deleted in January 2010. Photos from www.armenica.org have OTRS permission - {{GFDL-Armenica}}. Do you have any objection to restore this file (or maybe you prefer to do it by yourself)? Geagea (talk) 22:47, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

It has no source. The template asks for a source. Add a source and remove the template. Add no source and the file will be deleted sooner or later since nobody can establish where this file is from and who created it. Where would you start? --Polarlys (talk) 21:12, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

A book by Vogel? For example: Als ich Hindenburg malte? /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 21:18, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Not some random book, but the book the photo is taken from. Pieter, you are a clever guy and you most like speak some German. „malen“ and „photographieren“ are not the same. --Polarlys (talk) 21:19, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Why would there not be photos in the book? /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 21:31, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Why should I care if there is any book, when the uploader is not willing to tell me where the file is from? And yes, Vogel was a painter (a pretty old one, btw) and the question remains: Who took the photo and published it when and where? The book is no answer as long as the uploader doesn't help us. --Polarlys (talk) 21:33, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Takashi Ochi

Hallo Polarlys, das Bild stammt von einem Freund von mir, der es selbst erstellt und zur Verwendung in den Commons freigegeben hat. Ich habe nicht genau verstanden, welche Belege du noch brauchst. Genügt es, wenn ich das Bild auf meine Webpage hochlade, es mit einer Copyright-Erklärung versehe und dir den Link schicke? Agriculus (talk)

Und nochmal hallo. Die Lizenzfrage scheint doch ein wenig komplizierter zu sein als oben dargestellt. Nach meinem derzeitigen Kenntnisstand liegen die Nutzungsrechte bei der Familie Ochi, die mit einer Veröffentlichung unter cc prinzipiell einverstanden ist. (Das hatten wir natürlich geklärt, bevor wir das Bild hochgeladen hatten). Allerdings wurde das Foto von meinem Freund im Rahmen seiner beruflichen Tätigkeit erstellt und ich muss klären, ob die Nutzungsrechte von der Fotoagentur wirklich zu 100% an Ochi übertragen wurden. So kurz nach dem Tod kann ich die Familie aber nicht darauf ansprechen. Die Sache wird also sicher noch 2-3 Wochen bis zur endgültigen Klärung brauchen. Juristische Auseinandersetzungen sind also keine zu erwarten. Ich kann aber natürlich verstehen, wenn du es bevorzugen solltest, das Bild bis zur endgültigen Klärung erstmal offline zu nehmen. --Agriculus (talk) 08:45, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Edit request

{{editprotected}} Hi. Back on 4 and 5 June 2007 (UTC), I made four posts here on User talk:Polarlys with transcluded sigs. They have been archived to User talk:Polarlys/Archiv1, which is fully protected (edit=sysop). All transcluded sigs have been nominated for deletion at Commons:Deletion requests/Transcluded user signatures per Commons:Signatures#Transclusion_of_templates and may be deleted soon, so I would like some assistance from you or one of your talk page stalkers in transcluding them. If it is too late to do that, please use my sig which follows instead. They all contain "{{User:Jeff G./sig". Thank you.   — Jeff G. ツ 03:59, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Sorry.

I'm very sorry. I didn't know. I thought the uploads were on my watchlist. I will add them. I have terrible trouble uploading. I have to try repeatedly for even small files because of the Great Firewall of China. Most of the time, the connection gets cut by surveillance software and I have to go back and type in the info again. I forgot to add them to the watchlist the last time, I think. Please don't be angry. I am doing my best.

About answering the Liang Dehua question, I didn't know how else to answer. What else can I say? I asked her to take the photos because she lives by the station. She did. She emailed them to me and said I can use them any way I like. Commons:OTRS and all commons guidelines confuse many, many editors. I am doing my best to understand. Thank you for your help and sorry to make you angry. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:43, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

FIrst Truck picture

Hello,

I can understand deleting the Zaolzie picture to some extent (although it was 70 years after being taken, and at the same time the author was unknown, but OK, I can live with that), but deleting picture of First Truck which was taken in 1898 makes no sence to me.

DerFo.jpg

Warum wurde dieses Foto trotz einer vorhandenen Erlaubnis, die ich an den jeweiligen Dienst weitergeleitert habe, gelöscht/ --Vysota1079 (talk) 20:37, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Im Bild wurde keine solche Erlaubnis vermerkt. Du kannst nochmal bei dem damaligen Ansprechpartner nachfragen, falls sie ihm vorliegt und ausreichend ist, kann er die Datei wieder herstellen. --Polarlys (talk) 23:10, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Wen meinst Du unter dem "damaligen Ansprechpartner"? Den Supportdienst? Ich habe von denen keine Antwort auf meine Email erhalten, und der User, der das Bild wegen der angeblich fehlenden Erlaubnis angezeigt hat, meinte, dies sei in Ordnung so, und die bräuchten schon ihre Zeit, um zu antworten, aber solange sie nicht geantwortet haben, wird das Bild hängen bleiben. Und jetzt ist das Bild trotz der vorhandenen Erlaubnis und der fehlenden Antwort (sprich: nichtbearbeiteten Erlaubnismail) gelöscht. Und diesmal erfahre ich sogar zufällig darüber. Was soll das? Ich kann das Bild natürlich auch wieder hochladen, doch ich denke, zuerst muss hier seitens Supportdienstes Klarheit geschaffen werden, und worüber sollte dieser Klarheit schaffen, wenn das Bild schon weg ist? Und wo im Bild sollte ich da etwas vermerken? Ich habe doch schon alle Felder ordnungsgemäß ausgefüllt und das Bild wurde direkt vom Rechteinhaber zur Verfügung gestellt. --Vysota1079 (talk) 01:09, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Hallo! Folgendes: Wenn das System hier funktionieren würde, wäre das Bild schon länger gelöscht. Bitte mach mir keine Vorwürfe, dass ich hier „Altbestände“ abarbeite. Der Supportdienst kann das Bild sich auch anschauen, wenn es gelöscht ist und es auch wiederherstellen. Bitte nimm nochmal Kontakt mit dem OTRS-Team auf. Kann es eventuell sein, dass die Freigabe nicht ausreichend war? „speziell für Wikipedia“ (wie es auch in den anderen Dateien steht), ist eine Einschränkung, die mit dem Projektziel („freie Dateien für alle Zwecke“) nicht vereinbar ist. Mit „im Bild vermerken“ meine ich übrigens den Hinweis auf eine vorliegende Erlaubnis durch den Supportmitarbeiter. Viele Grüße, --Polarlys (talk) 18:13, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Hallo! Vielen Dank für die Antwort. Das mit dem "speziell" war mehr meine Initiative, der Rechteinhaber haz diesbezüglich keine Bedingungen gestellt, so habe ich jetzt den Zusatz weggenommen. Aber ich habe vom Supportdienst auf meine Mail überhaupt keine Antwort erhalten, auch keine Bestätigungsmail. Deswegen denke ich, es hat nicht sehr viel Sinn, diesen anzumailen. Gibt es vielleicht eine andere Möglichkeit, auf eine irrtümlich gelöschte Datei aufmerksam zu machen? Ich glaube, ich habe so etwas gesehen, aber jetzt finde ich es leider nicht. :( --Vysota1079 (talk) 11:41, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Ups, was ich nicht verstehe: ich habe doch den Zusatz weggemacht, und auf meiner Gallery-Seite erscheint der nicht mehr. Aber in den eingebundenen Fotos ist der immer noch zu sehen. Werden die nicht sofort mitaktualisiert? Und was muss ich jetzt tun? --Vysota1079 (talk) 11:51, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey there, I just wanted to let you know that all these pictures are from the fansite kit of the game Nadirim. You can check it. At the moment it might be an updated version of the fankit, but I have all the photos from there. File:Nomad_male.png, File:Twisted_Tribe_logo.jpg, File:Nadirim_inventory.png, File:Nadirim_logo.jpg, File:Twisted Tribe logo 2.jpg, File:Digital Reality Logo.jpg As I can see they were already deleted.

Bilderlöschungen

Hallo Polarlys! Da ich nur eher selten in der Wikipedia bin und noch seltener auf Commons, habe ich die Hinweise auf Probleme mit meinen Bildern verpasst, was schließlich durch die Löschung durch dich geführt hat. Da ich in allen drei Fällen selbst der Fotograf bin und das (vermutlich bzw. hoffentlich) auch angegeben habe und die gelöschten Dateien natürlich nicht mehr einsehen kann, verstehe ich ehrlich gesagt nicht, was der Löschgrund war. Es wäre schön, wenn du die Bilder wiederherstellen könntest, damit ich mögliche Unklarheiten beseitigen kann. --Elektroschrottsammler (talk) 23:41, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Hallo! Die Bilder wurde einige Monate vor dem Upload hier unter schlepptopps.de (bspw. http://www.schlepptops.de/wiki/index.php?title=Bild:QT-8D_offen.jpg) hochgeladen. Aufgrund der zeitlichen Diskrepanz und unterschiedlichen Autorangaben ging der Nutzer, der die Freigabe-Warnung einfügte, davon aus, dass sie hier nicht korrekt lizensiert wären. Kannst du dich dazu nochmal äußern, bevor ich die Bilder wiederherstelle? Danke und Gruß, --Polarlys (talk) 20:20, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Ich verstehe, aber die vermeintliche Quelle ist meine Seite. Soll ich eine Mail an OTRS schreiben oder glaubst du mir auch so? Übrigens, muss man hier eigentlich unter Klarnamen arbeiten, um Bilder hochladen zu dürfen bzw. muss man den Klarnamen dabei angeben? Oder gilt das nur, wenn die Bilder auch woanders im Netz stehen? Ich bin nicht unbedingt scharf darauf, meinen Namen im Netz zu verbreiten, da ich auch gewerblich tätig bin. Ich hatte den Eindruck, dass ziemlich viele Bilder auf Pseudonyme lizenziert sind und dabei die Vertrauensbasis (also die Angabe "eigenes Bild") ausreicht. --Elektroschrottsammler (talk) 23:38, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Das ist in der Regel auch so und du kannst weiterhin deine Anonymität wahren. Ich habe die Dateien wiederhergestellt. Wenn die Bilder unter einer anderen Autorenangabe im Netz zu finden sind, kann berechtigterweise der ursprüngliche Autor nachgefragt werden, insbesondere wenn die Bilder erst sekundär bei uns eingestellt wurden. In der Regel sind es auch Urheberrechtsverletzungen (Der Blick in die Metadaten ist oft erhellend. Hier haben es schon „eigene Werke“ in die Kandidatur für exzellente Bilder geschafft und es bedurfte erst eines versierteren Nutzers, der nach all den positiven Kommentaren darauf hinwies, dass der Autor ein Agentur-Photograph ist und das Bild einen Tag vor dem Hochladen auf http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/ auftauchte. Wir haben ein richtiges übles Problem damit. In deinem Fall bitte ich um Verständnis für die Umstände. Grüße und danke für deine Uploads, --Polarlys (talk) 17:35, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Ja, dafür habe ich Verständnis, zumal ich es auch nicht witzig finden würde, wenn Dritte meine Bilder unter ihrem Namen hochladen würden. Danke für's Wiederherstellen! --Elektroschrottsammler (talk) 20:33, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Picture deletion

I see a couple of months you deleted the obviously free photo File:Yrigoyen (últimos años).jpg. That's so silly, I can't see it now but I'm sure it was properly categorized as "old", and "old" pictures does not have copyright in Argentina (as noted in the template).

Old book photos

Hello! All these photographs and scans of the old books (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 are strongly PD-Arts and doesn't need any proof. If you don't think so, you should delete all other my files. Nik1986 (talk) 16:34, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

As I pointed out before, these are no scans. These are photos of books. A scan of an old book page, which is in the public domain, is a two-dimensional reproduction and is (of course!) allowed. A modern photo of the whole book is copyrighted by the photographer. Please read Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag carefully:

{{PD-Art}} may be used by the uploader of a photograph taken by somebody else to assert that the photograph can have no independent copyright as it is simply a faithful reproduction of an old, public domain, two-dimensional work of art. The tag can be used on any such photograph regardless of the source country, following a poll in July 2008.

“When should the PD-Art tag not be used? (…) When the work of art shown in the photograph is in three dimensions”

See also these examples: Commons:When_to_use_the_PD-Art_tag#Photograph_of_an_old_sculpture_found_on_the_Internet.2C_or_in_a_book.

File:2001-2008 Société Générale tower, La Défense, Paris.jpg

Hello Polarlys,
I see that on 22 March 2010 you deleted the File:2001-2008 Société Générale tower, La Défense, Paris.jpg (log). I cannnot presently view the file or its description page, but it seems that it was probably a photo of the Granite tower of Société générale, of architect Christian de Portzamparc. As the photo was uploaded by User:Alanya Knowles, whose photos are officially authorized by that architect, in principle this photo should be covered by the permission of the architect received in 2008 through the OTRS ticket number 2008031910023091. From what I could gather from the discussion pages, it seems that the ticket authorizes the photos of Portzamparc buildings uploaded though the account User:Alanya Knowles (and through the account User:Portzamparc Francais, which exists on fr.wp). Here is the history of this photo. This photo (with others) was initially uploaded to the fr.wikipedia on 18 January 2008 by User:Portzamparc Francais and it was also uploaded on the Commons on 22 January 2008 by User:Alyana Knowles. On fr.wikipedia, at first, those photos were questioned for insufficient information and deleted, but after contact with the architect they were duly validated on 19 March 2008 to the satisfaction of everybody and restored and the OTRS template was added to the description page. Finally this photo was removed from fr.wikipedia on 23 July 2008 because the copy was already on the Commons. (log history at fr.wikipedia.) Then, the photo lived its normal and happy life on the Commons until 2010. On the Commons, I see that the deletion nomination that preceded the deletion did not mention the ticket at all, which is strange and doesn't help to know what happened. So, I don't know if the OTRS template was simply missing by mistake from the description page on Commons, or if the ticket somehow excluded this particular photo (that would be surprising), or if there was some other unknown problem. The most probable explanation is simply that in March 2008 when the OTRS template was added to the description page of the copy that was on fr.wikipedia, people forgot to add the OTRS template also to the description page of the copy that was on the Commons. Could you please look into this matter and, if you conclude that the photo is valid, as it probably is as far as I can guess, could you restore it please? Thank you in advance for your help. -- Asclepias (talk) 15:45, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for your explanation and sorry for the inconvenience. I most likely misunderstood the otrs permission or haven’t seen it – mea culpa. I restored the image, please have a look if everything is okay and contact me afterwards. Thank you and sorry again for the trouble, --Polarlys (talk) 17:43, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, everything looks fine. (Ah, now I see in the restored file's history that I had transferred the information from the fr.wp description page to the Commons. Sometimes, I surprise myself.) (In the meantime, I noticed another file with apparently a somewhat related question, which caused me to ask a clarification at the OTRS noticeboard.) -- Asclepias (talk) 18:38, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Re: File:Logo Cai Club Alpino Italiano Stemma.png

Hi, the image File:Logo Cai Club Alpino Italiano Stemma.png should be deleted. It was my error when I did not know rules and I just forgot it. I will upload it on wikipedia in fair use.

For the other images I'm searching a solution and I need help: For Italy (all images are published first time in Italy, and all people is italian) copyright for non artistic images is 20 years (Template:PD-Italy) but if I use pd-italy someones tell me that i can't because the pictures were not taken in the italian territory. So I used pd-pakistan but you tell me that I can't because the pictures was published in Italy and because people in the pictures was italians. So, there is a solution? I should use pd-Italy? I should use pd-Pakistan? I should use both? If there's not solutions thank you anyway. Regards. Rupertsciamenna (talk) 11:18, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi. About PD-1996 all pictures were taken in the 50s, so it was not copyrighted at the URAA date of restoration (Jan 1 1996), so it is in the public domain also in the USA. Guideline say: wasn't in copyright in the United States due to being registered for copyright there (see Commons:Copyright tags#United States for most cases) and was created prior to 1976 — then it was out-of-copyright in Italy on the URAA date of restoration (January 1, 1996) (17 U.S.C. § 104A). If so, please add {{PD-1996}}.

(In german: es fällt nicht unter das Urheberrecht der USA; es wurde dort nicht separat für einen Schutz registriert (siehe Commons:Copyright tags#United States für die meisten Fälle) und es wurde vor 1976 erstellt — dann ist es außerhalb des Urheberrechts bezüglich der der URAA-Erneuerung (1. Januar 1996) (17 U.S.C. § 104A). In diesem Fall, füge bitte {{PD-1996}}

Hi Polarlys, this image was taken in an official capacity at a U.S. government sponsored conference and published on a U.S. government website. Under U.S. law, works of the federal government are ineligible for copyright and are thus automatically in the public domain, and need no explicit permission.

Need Help

Hi Polarlys,

I am trying to add an image for a famous personality from our state. He is a movie actor, leader, and youth icon and is an inspiration to many people. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pawan_Kalyan I added image at the below link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Power-Star-Pawan-Kalyan.jpg Though I accept that this image was taken from random internet image, I want to know if there is any process to resolve this. I'm not trying to do anything illegal here, but my image was marked for deletion due to copy right tags missing issues. I am completely new to this wiki coding and I couldn't find relevant information to understand how to add copy right tags and all. I would be very glad if you can help me on this. Thanks in advance.

You can’t upload images from the internet (this statement is true for 99,98 % of all images out there, except they are really old or freely licensed. See for details: File:Licensing_tutorial_en.svg and Commons:Licensing.)

Find an image, contact the creator, ask him if he is willing to upload it with a permission like this: COM:OTRS. Don’t upload it against his will or ask for a permission after uploading it. Regards, --Polarlys (talk) 08:45, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of many files

After I have posted a message on the Village pump you deleted many files of Keith Coventry. Thanks for that. Now I came accross uploads of user Vcolliga. On his talk page I questioned the copyright. No answer received. Recently new images have been uploaded. I have nominated a few images for deletion because I found them on the website of Ricado Bofill or elsewhere with a clear copyright message. I would like to nominate all images uploaded by this user that have "Bofill" in the name for deletion. How can that be done in the easiest way or can you do that? Regards, Wouter (talk) 20:02, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Wouter! This is kind of strange. The uploader uses several accounts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Wikibasc, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Akelarre) for adding these images to en.wikipedia.org. Some former accounts have been blocked some years earlier. Some images are from Hedrich-Blessing (e.g. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ricardo_Bofill_Taller_de_Arquitectura_Dearborn_Center.jpg). We also have every camera manufacturer but strangely the date from EXIF data and the file information template are the same. Maybe he is “so advanced” that he reads them before uploading images (have seen this before). The copyright status is also set to "public domain" although no image is uploaded under this license here. If you ask me: Somebody who is quite obsessive about these photos tries to fool us. I could easily nuke them (Special:Nuke) but I think you should open a request for deletion and copy the file list there. There is no easy way :-/ --Polarlys (talk) 20:30, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Polarlys. I did the deletion request for all the files. Regards, Wouter (talk) 09:10, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

File:Daisy Fuentes.jpg

Hi, I'm a little confused as to what happened with File:Daisy Fuentes.jpg. It appears[3] that you deleted this file, than restored the text for the image description, but not the file itself. I believe a uploaded a valid PD image in 2006, produced by an employee of the US government. However, somebody seems to have recently uploaded a copyvio on top of it, and that caused both files to now be deleted. --Rob (talk) 10:39, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Could you check it and add to the bad-authors? There are some good images that are likely to be reuploaded by unsuspecting editors. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 04:31, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

File : Logo_beta.jpg

hello Polarlys I would like to know why this file was deleted. Indeed it's our logo and it was developed by our designer. So why I haven't rights on it ? Thanks

Hi! We simply don’t know this. Everyday people upload copyrighted images from companies. Most of them are deleted with respect to their copyright owners. If you disagree with the deletion, please use the procedure described at COM:OTRS to give us permission to display your uploads. Thank you for your understanding. --Polarlys (talk) 10:51, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Lack of permission

You marked File:Ifealogo-couleur.jpg as lacking a licence permission. I think that the logo is too simple to be eligible for copyright. You can discuss the matter at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Ifealogo-couleur.jpg. --Stefan4 (talk) 11:49, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Copyright violation

You marked File:Skyline2HCMC.jpg as a copyright violation. Could you please say why? Because the file is still on English Wikipedia.

speedy deletion

While I had contradicted the speedy deletion of File:Banisadr.pdf, you deleted it and I found no obvious explanation in the edit summary. Could you please explain why you deleted that file? Thanks. AMERICOPHILE 06:28, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for restoring it. As far as I know the speedy deletion tag reads: "If you think that the file does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, please explain why on its talk page." And on Wikipedia anyone (except the user who created it) can remove the speedy deletion tag but apparently not on Commons. AMERICOPHILE 12:01, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Removed Picture

You removed a picture I uploaded of Steve Sailer (Steve_Sailer.jpg). I got permission from the subject himself to place that picture into CC-BY-SA. I thought I had placed it under that when I uploaded it, but maybe I forgot -- anyway, I cannot tell now since the removal seems to have entirely removed all evidence of it. I want that photo to exist for the wiki entry. Can you undelete it? Is re-uploading it making sure to mark it as CC-BY-SA acceptable at wiki commons? Leonard Dickens (talk) 20:58, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi! The source you provided (http://blog.vdare.com/archives/2008/10/20/new-sailer-picture/) said nothing about a free license.

No Polarlys, I uploaded from basketballphoto.com as all the other files in Category:Photographs by Steve Lipofsky, and on that web page I read: Photos available for editorial and commercial usage; I am not a copyvioler, so that warning on my page is not correct, I think. I just uploaded a file in the same way all the files in that category have been uploaded till now! Let me know please ;) --Delfort (talk) 15:08, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

The photos in the category were uploaded by the photographer himself. We have no idea what Photos available for editorial and commercial usage means, it is no permission or even a free license. All in all these photos are sold and when you click on a photo on the webpage twice you can read Copyright © 2012 Basketballphoto.com. All Rights Reserved. Unauthorized reproduction prohibited by law. I don’t want to blame your for anything, since this is confusing situation. But the photos we have so far were uploaded by the photographer and he hasn’t allowed us to upload more of his work. --Polarlys (talk) 15:19, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your answer, now I understand; I'll try to write to the photographer to ask him to upload the file. Last question: am I allowed to remove that warning on my page? As I said (and as you can see from my edits) I'm not a copyvioler, and it's clear that this situation has born from a misunderstanding. --Delfort (talk) 15:28, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Dispute - I like to have resolved

Hi Polarlys,

(Dansk? Norsk?)

At January 18, 2010 User Kliek changed the name of the author from Vijverln to Kliek without having any visible upload of the origional or a derivate work of File:A4_RIJSWIJK.JPG. In the History of the file you can check this.

So on January 6th, 2012 I revert that edit to it's (So I claim) rightfull owner, vijverln. In the edit-statement i place: No Idea why he claims the copyrights as i can't see why he does this edit.

Yesterday User Robotje reverted my edit, without any comment, which I revert with: Check the history Robotje. He just put his name there.

He changes it back again with: If you have no idea, don't revert things. this refers to my comment of my initional revert. This is ofcourse a lame excuse. He still doesn't provide any evidence that my edit is wrong. Therefor I write on his diskussionpage why I reverted the (in my opinion) false claim by Kliek, and that he shouldn't start an editwar. I also revert the latest revert by Robotje refering to his diskussionpage.

Robotje undid my revert again with the comment:

---

Come on, Rodejong, first of all you did so far 3 reverts on that page (although over a period of about 50 hours) of which the last two were today with only a few hours in between, while I only did 2 reverts on that page with more than 40 hours in between. So if somebody is about to start an edit war, it is you. And why? If you did a little better your best you would have known your statement above about Kliek is a false statement (ever heard about "You must not testify falsely as a witness against your fellowman"?). So if you have no idea why Klied changed it (see "No Idea why he claims the copyrights"), please don't edit that page and leave it to people who obviously know about this so much better than you do.

---

Who starts the edit war is not the issue. My issue with Robotje is, that he didn't give any clear reason why my revert of the authors name was wrong (If it was) and plays on the statement that I make: No Idea why he claims the copyrights. However, I have clearly stated why I did that edit afterwards to him on these two occasions, which h chooses to ignore.

So therefor I ask of you if someone neutral could shed a light on this issue. Maybe you can see something I have overlooked or we're not able to see.

I would appreciate it if this could be resolved.

Kind regards,

--Rodejong (talk) 23:42, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Although Rodejong states "So on January 6th, 2012 I revert that edit .." the page linked with the 'I revert' text was not his edit but mine on a different page. That mistake is rather typical to the way this kind of Rodejong related problems starts/continue; if he would do his best a little better there wouldn't have been any problem. Rodejong did a revert on that day on that page with this edit. If you click on that link and then in the 'Author field' in the Information-template on the uploader account name, you will see it is redirected to the user page of Kliek. Rodejong could have figured out this himself if he would have done some research before he did that revert with in the edit summary "No Idea why he claims the copyrights." To understand better why there is a redirect, you can see on the history of that redirect ([4]) that the redirect was automatically made on January 13 2010 as result of an account renaming procedure done by the bureaucrat Erwin. On January 7 2010 this rename request was done for privacy reasons! I hope Rodejong will change the original account name he used in the request he put on this page on last night by '*****' or so, since the change of the account name was done for privacy reasons (same for the discussion on 'my' talk page). I hope it is now clear to everybody why Kliek changed on Commons the name of the uploader, several days after the account renaming was done on the Dutch Wikipedia. So not only the statement of Rodejong on my talk page that Kliek didn't have any rights to claim copyright (and similar nonsense about Kliek) was a false statement, also his remark about me: "I asked you to check the history, and you obniously [sic] didn't. " [5] turns out to be incorrect. It is quite the opposite; Rodejong is the person who didn't check the history good enough, even after his reverts were undone three times! - Robotje (talk) 07:22, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

So, now i ask someone else to shed light on this problem, you tell me why you reverted my edit. Was that so hard to say this from the start??

No, I didn't expect a user namechange. Normaly it becomes a redirect. As I requested Polarlys to help out, I also stated that I could have overlooked something. That was obviousely the case. It is just so typicle of you to fool around with people, leaving them in the dark. Lot's of conflicts could be avoided by telling people what is wrong at the start, in stead of just reverting people without reason.

I apollogize for the wast of time on this discussionpage Polarlys. --Rodejong (talk) 08:17, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

I corected the mistake with the wrong link.--Rodejong (talk) 08:20, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi guys, I think the issue ist settled after Robotje explained his actions. Communicating over the internet has always this awkward potential for misunderstandings ;-) You are both from The Netherlands, I propose to drink a beer together at a local Wikipedia meeting.

Hi Matt! The user uploaded several unfree files that were tagged as "own" work. While I deleted some of them I might have overlooked Eugene's argumentation for deletion in this case (COM:SCOPE).

Steamboat Robert E. Lee

Hello, I have a question about my speedy delete request for File:Robert E Lee Steamboat.jpg. It appears that the image rights are retained by the Louisiana State Museum. See the "Conditions Governing Rights and Reproductions" link on their photo requests page: [6]. When the image was uploaded the image a few years ago, I thought it was in the public domain due to age. However, I'm not certain if this particular image of the painting is actually in the PD. Therefore, the image should be deleted to avoid copyright problems. Can you explain why it isn't a candidate for speedy deletion? Thanks, --AlphaEta (talk) 17:29, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

I am pretty sure this file is in the public domain because of its age. Not every copyright claim is valid (“copyfraud”). This should be discussed. --Polarlys (talk) 20:37, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

CommonsNotificationBot left a message about this file's deletion on en:Talk:List of tallest buildings in the world at 5:29 am, saying "Don't panic; a discussion will now take place over on Commons about whether to remove the file. This gives you an opportunity to contest the deletion..." According to the log, the file was deleted by you at 11:18 am. I don't think less than 6 hours is anywhere near enough time to discuss or contest the deletion, or to give people enough time to move the file to a more suitable venue in order to make a claim for fair-use.

• Why was it deleted so quickly?
• Why was the suspected reason not posted by CommonsNotificationBot on the en:talk page?
• I notice the reason you deleted it was "copyright violation", but nowhere does it say where it was copied from. A URL would be very useful.

Astronaut (talk) 17:49, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Astronaut. At first: Please don’t remove my request for speedy deletion from other files without reason. We have a huge problem with copyright violations here. If most contributions of an user consist of proven copyright violations, we don’t waste our time to find the source for another low-resolution, small-size, bad-quality image that is most likely no own work. You are welcome to waste your time with an uploader that uploaded a lot of images from various unfree locations with fake licenses before he realized that the best way is to upload these files with a fine own-template. (Unfortunately he forgot to remove the watermark here Commons:Deletion_requests/File:San_giovanni_rotondo.JPG). --Polarlys (talk) 21:17, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

The file was deleted so quickly because it was listed as a candidate for speedy deletion. You should be happy about that. We had huge backlogs in the past that paralysed this project.

Sorry, I don’t know about how this bot works.

This deletion went along with other deletions on images from a Turkish tourism broschure and images from http://www.istanbulsapphire.com/ that were uploaded by different users. This image is also available from the web as promotional material with the project’s logo.

I admit that giving more detailed deletions reasons in the deletion commentary was useful, unfortunately the WMF does not provide us with powerful tools to do so, nor do we have the man power to work slower. Sorry for that. --Polarlys (talk) 21:04, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

The problem seems to be that the bot goes around looking for problem images, puts a deletion request/speedy delete on the image on Commons and visits each usage, leaving a message reassuring people there to not panic, "a discussion will now take place" - effectively an invitation to participate in the discussion here on Commons. Usual practice on the English Wikipedia is for delete discussions to last 7 days, yet the policy on Commons seems to be delete it within hours with no discussion, and very little by way of explanation.

While you may see a huge backlog of "obvious deletions" and little time to deal with them; what I see is an invitation to a discussion, only to find the image already deleted. The explanation is simply "copyright violation", I cannot see the original image and I have no idea where it was copied from, so the image cannot be recovered and possibly uploaded to a more suitable venue under a possible fair-use claim. With all due respect, you do need to slow down and allow sufficient time (a few days?) for people from the various Wikipedias to comment, to supply the correct proof of the image being free, or to move the image elsewhere so it can be put under fair-use. Astronaut (talk) 11:05, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

As for the other matter you mention above, yesterday's experience got me thinking, how many more images are set to be speedily deleted for copyright violation when there is no information as to where it is copied from. When I took a quick look at a few random images from Category:Copyright violations, a couple of them didn't say where they were copied from. To be honest, a "screenshot" does not automatically make it an obvious copyright violation. It may be small and of poor quality, but it could have easily been a freeze frame from the uploader's own video. Without information as to where it has been seen before, it is impossible to say and I believe one should assume good faith until proven otherwise. In the case of the two files I appealed, I did supply a reason on the talk page.

Unfortunately, I am unable to see the uploader's history of bad uploads that have been deleted (the link you supplied is restricted to admins only). Looking today at that particular uploader's current content, I see some OK images and some poor quality images - maybe video stills. Only the company logos say to me "copyright problem?". Until proven otherwise, I would be reluctant to speedily delete his uploads based on the evidence I can see and would probably go for the slower 'deletion request' instead. Astronaut (talk) 11:13, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Astronaut! I have been active on several projects and everywher a “speedy deletion” procedure is established. You cannot list a simple copyvio with a regular deletion request here, people will tell you to move to a request for speedy deletion. I am sorry, but we can’t assume "good faith" anymore for users who uploaded a lot of copyright violations before.. Uploaders remove EXIF data to remove evidence that the files was taken by a professional. They even fake EXIF data. They upload unfree images to flickr under a free license and request a bot move to Commons then. Another bot will check than that the license is valid. So you get a perfectly checked image. People upload photos of TV screens showing concerts or screenshots of youtube videos. We can’t say in every case that our evidence is rock solid, but when it has been proven before, that the uploader lied about licenses again and again, we can assume that there is something wrong with a file with strange perspective (shooting a photo while standing behind James Hetfield during a concert) or the classic "web rip-off" format (resolution, size).

Have a look at this file. It was uploaded with the wrong license which can’t be used here (uploading images this way was the first option during a test – suddenly people started uploading "screenshots of free software") and a honest statement on source ("web"). Now we request the source and suddenly there is an own template. Here i found the source and suddenly the author is removed. Regards, --Polarlys (talk) 13:01, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

That's pretty enlightening. While the likes of Bansky are clearly trying to evade copyright rules - yes, many of them (maybe all of them) are copyvios - I believe there are many others who upload in good faith but have either not read the rules or simply do not understand that they cannot grab stuff off the internet and upload it here. I can certainly imagine many users never reading past the first box on the Commons upload wizard: "I" took the photo/scanned the page/downloaded the image it is therefore "my own work" and so I can upload it here.

I'm not going out of my way here to defend Bansky's uploads, or requesting that the Istanbulsapphiretower.jpg be restored. However, I think the process of deleting files and notifying Wikipedia projects does need to be changed. At the very least, it should be easy for the infrequent visitor to Commons to find "proof" of the copyright violation even after the file has been deleted - a URL or a comment like: "the uploader has a history of multiple copyright violations so this is probably one as well" placed in the log would be very useful.

KarlBureschf1.highres.jpeg deleted

Hello Polarlys. It seems KarlBureschf1.highres.jpeg got deleted. Did you see my note in the file's discussion page? Unless I am much mistaken the file was in the public domain because the the Bibliotheque national de France, that claims to own the collection the file belongs to, says it is. I may be mistaken, but I understand in that case we need not wait for the 71st year after the author's death. I understand in this case we were (are) facing the case where the copyright holder released the picture into the public domain. I do so with my pictures now and then and I am not even dead...--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 11:58, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

The artist died in 1950. False and erroneous claims on copyright and public domain occur on a daily basis, especially when images are provided at a large scale. If you disagree with the deletion, please contact Österreichische Nationalbibliothek regarding Inventory Pb 580.555-F 2. Thank you, --Polarlys (talk) 12:06, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Agreed, but shoudln't we do it the other way around? Wait till we know that it is a mistake and then delete the file (if confirmed the claim was wrong) not delete it and then see if it was a mistake. And the artist cannot have the copyright for the picture (he is dead), some else does. The BNF claims to have it (though they may be wrong, of course). I would suggest doing it in the reverse order: if we find neither institution has the copyright (or the one that does does not release it in the public domain) then delete it, but I think somenoen has been a bit "trigger happy" here...--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 12:51, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

No, if we are unsure about files we shouldn’t upload or keep them here. No matter which file this is. This is not an anonymous work or something but an photo that can be traced to a author whose life dates are known. When we take over erroneous and implausible information, we multiply them and make them available to people who want to reuse our content without problems. I’ll be happy to restore the file at a later date, if this issue has been cleared. Thank you for your understanding. --Polarlys (talk) 16:57, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

The dates seem to be known (you seem to be chosing to belief the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek and not the BNF and I see no reason why), assuming the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek is right, but that does not mean the file is not in the public domain. It would be so if the copyright owner were not the BNF but someone else (the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek itself?) who did not release the file into the public domain. What evidence do you have to assert that the information from the BNF is "erroneous and implausible information"? What check did you do to say so? I will restore the file myself now, I will check with both institutions now as well (something that should have been done once we may be facing conflicting copyright statements (this is just a possibility, they need not be imcompatible as I hope you realize) but certainly before assuming the file was incorrectly uploaded and deleted) and ask for its deletion myself if I get no satisfactory answer from either the BNF, the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek or both in a few days at the latest. But so far the file stays, and I hope no one rushes to delete it (I would put it back immediately) without further information. Let us all do things right, for the benefit of wikipedia.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 19:36, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

The artist is not long enough dead to have this file in the public domain in the EU. This was added by a trustworthy user, and I made a decision upon this fact. If you disagree with the deletion, please contact the page for restoring files. --Polarlys (talk) 20:42, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Not long enough to be in the public domain unless the current copyright owner released it, that is, and that we do not know yet. That is what I expected everyone to wait for before doing anything at all about the file at least for more than a few hours! The "trustworthy user" (curiously they all are to me) claimed the author had died too recently for the file to be in the PD by time, which is only one criteria, we are still ignoring the sizeable possibility of the file having been released into the PD... I have already asked for its undeletion and I am checking with the BNF and ON at the same time for clarification, but this should have been done the other way around (my original and only point really): check first and delete afterwards (if necessary). Next time kindly try to take a few more facts into account before deleting content from Commons.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 14:28, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

The source is a French photo agency, a company selling photos that they not created. The author is known. Copyright transfer in Austria (similar to Germany) is only possible by bequest, there is no other way of transfer. So if the BNF not even knows the author then they obviously not inherited the copyright. It doesnt matter if the ÖNB is the copyright holder or not, copyright not expired, thats enough to know for us. And because a photo selling company is not an author it is of course required to do all possible research before uploading, not afterwards. --Martin H. (talk) 19:36, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Indeed, as much investigation as necessary till you are satisfied the picture is free enough to enter Commons: I was with the BNF statement till you found about the author in the ÖNB. From then on certainly in doubt, but by no means convinced (yet, I await the BNF's and ONB's confirmation). I did not mean the author left the picture to the BNF in his last will and testament, I meant the Agence Mondial could have bought the picture (and then, unless I am mistaken acquired the copyright (I may be wrong but I doubt Corbis has absolutely no pictures by German or Austrian photographers unless the ones these good souls left to Mr. Gates in their wills)) and in turn the BNF would have got it when purchasing the collection. Of course this could be wrong but I think it would be better to check first (indeed when in doubt before uploading, but certainly before deleting) and delete afterwards (if necessary). I am no lawyer but, wouldn't it be enough as well to get a free-enough license (I am thinking a CC sort) from the ONB (or whoever has the copyright) to keep it in Commons? I understand it would but again, I may be wrong.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 21:00, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

do as you please, but hmm?

I do believe policy is you have to *discuss* any copyvio claims not just unilaterally remove them because you disagree? No? The whole point of copyvio tags is to discuss if they are copyvios and get proof they are not. Please revert your removal of my copyvio tag if you don't mind, that would be the civil thing to do. You may do how you wish though, I am not here to edit war with anyone. I just am sad when people act so bossy on here. Sigh. Nesnad (talk) 07:01, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Why should this be a copyright violation? Uploaded by artist. This is not bossy by the way, but you have to remove doubtful cases from the category copyright violations before they are deleted by someone else. You can open a RfD then (I see no reason) or remove the template. Please use the "no permission" template (copyvio is the wrong template here) the next time and also include both similar uploads from the uploader. Thank you. --Polarlys (talk) 12:04, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Request for help

Hello Polarlys! I've recently submitted an image for deletion (Commons:Deletion requests/File:Fort Lachine.jpg) and was hoping you could provide some input. When I originally uploaded the image, I thought it was in the public domain in the US. However, with a little more research and help from other Commons editors, it was discovered that the image came from a book that was published in Belgium in 1927. Since then, I've become concerned that the image isn't in the public domain in the US. After reading this table (under Works Published Abroad Before 1978) on the Cornell University website, the book from which the Fort Lachine image was taken would fall under the following category: "Solely published abroad, without compliance with US formalities or republication in the US, and not in the public domain in its home country as of 1 January 1996" for material published 1923 through 1977. Therefore, the US copyright would expire 95 years after initial publication. The book was published in 1927, so it appears to be under copyright in the US until 2022. This is in agreement with Wikipedia:Non-U.S. copyrights and the current Commons tags for Non-US works. Therefore, I suspect that the image should be tagged with {{Not-PD-US-URAA}} and deleted. If you have time, could you please provide your opinion on this matter. Kindest regards, --AlphaEta (talk) 16:56, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi AlphaEta! Thank you for asking me in this case. I think there is nothing to add to Carl Lindbergs statement. You shouldn't be afraid of the file being here, let’s see how another administrator decides in this case. In the meantime, you should be afraid of any personal consequences, there won’t be any.

Re:File:Falla Granada.jpg

Why did you delete ALL of my pics?

I'm trying to figure out why you deleted ALL OF MY PICS that I uploaded. I understand now why the one's from Gettys got deleted but WHY DID YOU DELETE ALL OF MY PICS!?!? The pics that came from Gettys I marked as coming from Gettys when I uploaded them. The pics I uploaded that I marked that I own- I ACTUALLY DO OWN THOSE BEING TOOK WITH MY OWN CAMERA WHILE ATTENDING MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL GAMES IN ROME GA AND CHATTANOOGA TN. The pics of Matt Young, Christian Bethancourt, Cory Gearrin, Russ Mitchell, and Luis Salazar were mine that I took personally- all of these came from 2 games between Chattanooga Lookouts vs Mississippi Braves from 2009 or a game between the Rome Braves vs Hagerstown Suns from 2011. - BravesInsider13

You did not only uploaded about ten Getty images, but also files from Craig Kimbrel’s website which are also unfree. Please re-upload the other files under the following conditions: You provide them as they came from your camera (full size, EXIF data) and prove us that way that you did not take them from somewhere else. Okay? And please don’t upload unfree files anymore. Thank you. --Polarlys (talk) 17:09, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Speedily undeleted a work for normal deletion discussion

Hi. I have big doubts about the speedy deletion request of File:The Lost Prince.djvu, and as it impact upon a work being used at Wikisource, I have undeleted it and I am putting it through a normal deletion process. I have not done full research on the work, though from initial check of the copyright statement in the work it clearly says 1914/15, and if the images are later, they are possibly in the public domain through not being published with a copyright notice.

Deletion of File:UPDS.jpg

Please note that the photo you have tagged for deletion does not violate any copyrights. It was taken by me on a samsung champ C3303 phone, which has a VGA camera. This photo was shot at KASA stadium Diphu, Karbi anglong, Assam, India on 3:45 PM, during the surrender ceremony of UPDS (United People's Democratic Solidarity) which was an important day for all of us Karbi's. Please do not desecrate the name of UPDS in this manner. I respect them for all the sacrifices they made so far, all the cadres that were killed in bringing nearer to us the reality of Hemprek Kangthim. I live in Diphu, Karbi Anglong, Assam, Opposite Basic Training Center, Rukasen - 782460, My name is Aaron, If you think such a place or name doesn't exist, look up "India" in google maps, zoom towards the "north east", then zoom in towards "Assam" then "Karbi Anglong", then "Diphu". Why the hell would I lie about something I took myself. If you need me to I'll even mail you the phone I took the photo with so you can cross-examine it.

File source is not properly indicated: File:Netherlands, Stompwijk, German tanks, June 1940.jpg

Dear Polarlys, On my page you say that the source of this image is not properly indicated. That is not true. I have provided the exact web-source in the upload form. The fact that Picasa classifies this image as "All rights reserved" is void, as according to Dutch copyrights law there are no such rights. The image is anonymous and is older than 70 years, hence it is in the public domain. Period. Picasa is a service from Google. In the Terms of Service, article 9.4, Google says: "Google acknowledges and agrees that it obtains no right, title or interest from you (or your licensors) under these Terms in or to any Content that you submit, post, transmit or display on, or through, the Services, including any intellectual property rights which subsist in that Content (whether those rights happen to be registered or not, and wherever in the world those rights may exist)." In this text "you" is the uploader of files (or content) in a Picasa album (or: service). Thus, neither Picase nor Google have -or claim to have- any rights with regard to this image. Proprietary rights, if they exist, remain with the uploader of the file into a Picasa album, which in this case is a certain Ingrid. The simple fact is that Ingrid does not own such rights, as the image (being anonymous and >70 years old) is in the public domain. And that is a reason why she was able to publish it, and why it can be used by Wikimedia Commons as well. I suggest that this image will not be deleted without a broader discussion among Wikimedia Commons copyright experts. Loranchet (talk) 22:27, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

My point is the following: A historical image that was uploaded by an individual anonymous person to a hosting service without additional source information can’t be considered to be of encyclopedic value ("does this image show what it pretends to show?"). We even can’t establish a copyright status if nobody tells us where the file is from. The given file could originate from a news movie, but I am not sure. Best regards, --Polarlys (talk) 13:49, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

I live in this area and there is no doubt that the picture is taken on the road to Stompwijk, even though I admit that reference points are few. But go to Google maps on {Location|52|4|50.16|N|4|25|4.51|E|region:NL} and look in West-South-Westerly direction along the canal. The hedgerow, the canal wall, trees in the distance, it hasn't changed. About the copyright: if I take a picture of a 17th century painting from a website to upload on Commons, should I bother about this website claiming all kinds of things? I don't think so. Pictures of 17th century paintings are in the public domain, purely by age, whatever source they're from. This anonymous image of tanks is, too (according to Dutch copyright law).

Decision Tree on Uploading

i uploaded photos given to me by the family of the person i created the page for and listed myself as the copy-write holder, and you said that i didn't have the proper permission to use them...if i am the copy-write holder, what other permission do i need????????? Chippowell (talk)

Well, you are obviously not the copyright holder. I have no idea who it is, but most certainly not you. Please add the following to your upload: Who created it (photographer, painter) and who is the copyright holder. A permission by the copyright holder is needed, please see Commons:OTRS. Please add a correct date, these photos were obviously not created in early 2012. Please see also Commons:Licensing. --Polarlys (talk) 17:23, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

can you un-delete them so i can change the information??? i guess I'm misunderstanding something or am miss tagging something, sorry the pages you suggested read like stereo instructions, i thought the date and all the other info asked for was for the person who up-loaded the files i put the Template:Pd-heirstag that said that the heirs of the person in the photo release the photo to the public domain

These are not “stereo instructions”, but basic help pages. If you don’t want to read stuff like Commons:Licensing#License_information, please look at least at the image on the right. I won’t restore these files by now, since I don’t have the feeling that you can provide the information needed. The license tag is not wrong, but we would still need a permission, see Commons:OTRS. And again: The heirs of the person in the photo are not necessarily the copyright owners (or to give an example: the heirs of Elvis don’t necessarily own the rights to a photo someone else took of the artist). --Polarlys (talk) 20:17, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

File:Gauerbachdc.jpg

I transferred this one, but I cannot see what is wrong with it... It's been on En-Wiki for almost 3 years with a {{PD-self}} template. The source is the en-Wiki user as I ensured the description showed.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 19:59, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, there is no explicit statement on authorship as needed on Commons and furthermore this is doubtfully own work when the photographer is identical with the displayed person as supposed in the checkuser request on en.wikipedia.org. Regards, --Polarlys (talk) 22:53, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Unable to upload deleted images, can provide permission

Dear Polarlys, 2 weeks ago I uploaded images to the topic "Elisha Ben Yitzhak". The pictures were deleted because of lack of permissions. I can now provide the permissions to the pictures, but it seems that I cant upload them again once deleted. I sent the permissions to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org , asking them to restore the pictures, or let me upload them again with the permissions. I haven't heard anything from them, so I'm asking you, if you dont mind, what can I do to upload them again now when i do have the permissions ?

also I'm not sure if that is the place to ask for your help. excuse me please if it isn't.

Thank you, Guy.e

Hi Guy.e, it will need some time, but if the permissions are sufficient, our OTRS team members will restore your files. Regards, --Polarlys (talk) 14:02, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Sdornano

Hello Polarlys,

I am new to wikipedia editing and I am sorry if I have misunderstood the rules regarding pictures uploading.

I am the grandson of the painter. I am the creator of the photos and I want to put those photos with CC licence. The CC licence is on the pictures not on the paintings. The paintings are presently owned by my mother, daughter of the painter. She allows me to take the picture to promote the artwork of her father (she is too old to do it herself). The paintings are in her home, not in a museum...

How shall I proceed to publish theses pictures in clean way regarding licensing.

The pictures were created from a scan of paper photos so it explains there is no exif metadata.

Regards

SdOrnano

On the wikipedia page about my grandfather, I put an external link to some pictures, but I didn't use those pictures directly since the the copyright have been given to this institution ADAGP

I asked today my mother to send a confirmation message to otrs

Thank you for sending permissions to COM:OTRS. --Polarlys (talk) 19:58, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Levante UD logo

Hi

The case of Levante UD logo 20px is the same as IKEA logo . They have the same permissions. So why should you delete the first one, and the IKEA can stay?

 ^(Talk) 8:43, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

One is a simple text logo and the other not. --Polarlys (talk) 16:36, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Receive image personally from the author

Hello Polarlys, I uploaded couple of pictures which I received personally from their author by email, in order to upload them to wikipedia. When I tagged those pictures in the source as "own", they were deleted. only the source as "own", I still wrote that I don't own the copyrights, and I sent the permissions for the pictures to the permissions email. my question is- what should I state in the "source" form, when i receive the pictures personally ? Thank you

Please add the photographer’s name, since they are not your own work. Unfortunately a lot of people provide images showing themselves but they don’t pay attention that they are not necessarily the copyright owner. Thank you, --Polarlys (talk) 21:27, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Hola Polarlys, no se si entiendas el español, soy nuevo en Wikimedia Commons y Wikipedia. La imagen (J Aurich 1968.jpg) la he tomado de revistas antiguas que ya clausuraron sus publicaciones y estan fuera de circulación hace varias décadas, además esa imagen la han usado en muchos posters, no sé su autor porque no lo citan, pero es totalmente de dominio público.

Protected templates

Hallo Polarlys, auf der Suche nach einem aktiven Admin bin ich bei dir gelandet. Es geht um eine kleine Erweiterung in der geschützten Vorlage {{U}}. Sie ist zwar internationalisiert, aber anders als alle ähnlichen Vorlagen umständlich über einen benannten Parameter statt mit "3=". Mit der Erweiterung wird nun beides unterstützt, so dass ältere Parametrierungen weiterhin funktionieren, und endlich auch die übliche Schreibweise möglich ist. Die Änderung in der Logik ist sehr geringfügig, etwas mehr ist in der Beschreibung zu ergänzen; deshalb habe ich das gesamte Vorlagencoding als Text bereitgestellt. Alternativ und besser wäre der Vorlagencode zu ändern und statt den Hinweisen ein Aufruf der Dokumentation einzubauen, die könnte und würde ich dann selbst pflegen.

Betreffend der geschützten Vorlage {{W}} wäre auch etwas Wesentliches zu verbessern; der Code sollte lauten:
[[:{{#if:{{{3|}}}|{{{3}}}:}}{{{1|}}}{{#if:{{{2|}}}|{{!}}{{{2}}}}}]]
Wenn du Fragen hast zu dieser Änderung, bei {{Wpd}} habe ich bereits alles erklärt.

Allerdings habe ich den tieferen Sinn von safesubst noch nicht so recht verstanden; wenn du Bedarf dafür siehst, kannst du das ergänzen? Thanx -- sarang사랑 11:42, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

You have deleted the files that I have uploaded

Two of my files has been deleted. I feel surprise that I can't stand it.

Those photos are really taken by myself. I don't know why you deleted those files.

Well, do you know what's the name of this game show with those photos?--竹筍弟弟 (talk) 12:09, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 License.

Hi, I see the messages you've left on my talk page about the images I've uploaded. All of the people whose images I've uploaded have explicitly given me permission to use them at Wikipedia. I therefore assumed, apparently wrongly, that they would have uploaded them to Deviantart under the appropriate CC license. Now I see that this is not the case. I will be trying to get into contact with these artists and telling them that they need to change the license if they want their images to appear at Wikipedia. One of the artists has already done so for one of them but it has already been deleted so I will need to reupload it. I apologize for the trouble, I assure you that the mistake was an honest one and I did not mean to violate the artists' copyright. -Ferahgo the Assassin (talk) 14:41, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Now that I have tried to re-upload one of the deleted files, I see that I am unable to due to 'Unknown warning: "duplicate-archive".' Can you please tell me how to re-upload a deleted file after the artist has changed it to the appropriate license? This is the only artist I've been able to get into contact with so far, but I'm sure the others will change their licenses once I explain to them the situation. The image I'm trying to upload is this one, found here. -Ferahgo the Assassin (talk) 14:49, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Ferahgo! The best way to keep these files here is to ask the creators to send a permission according to Commons:OTRS to Wikipedia. The files will be restored then, you don’t have to upload them again. Regards, --Polarlys (talk) 15:51, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Polarlys, as I explained on the talk page for one of the images here [7], the artist has now updated the CC license to be suitable for use at Commons. Is it okay if I remove the tag now? Thanks. -Ferahgo the Assassin (talk) 22:56, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

The license on the Dryptosaurus image has also now been edited by the artist to the correct one [8] but unfortunately this one has already been deleted - I am unfamiliar with OTRS ticketing, is there a way to reinstate the image without being a further bother to the artist? -Ferahgo the Assassin (talk) 01:30, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

I removed the tag and restored the other file. Thank you. --Polarlys (talk) 10:12, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

The actual source is already included into upload description: http://glebvasiliev.jino.ru/books/DSC07568.JPG The magazine in question was offered for sale and is not only dated 1928 (old) but it's also front page of a magazine. Can you please elaborate more, why you "taged" this file for deletion ? Thanks,(abune talk) 22:48, 22 April 2012 (UTC) P.S. Even less clear why this image was tagged http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kornilov_Boris_Petrovich_(1907-1938).jpg The photographer is unknown, this looks like "file" photo and subject has died in 1938 i.e. 70+ years ago. Can you be a bit more specific for reasons why you "taged" it?

File:Revolution and Culture biweekly 1928 number 15.JPG is a photo created by someone who is most likely still alive. We don’t have a permission to use it. Please see Commons:Derivative works. File:Kornilov_Boris_Petrovich_(1907-1938).jpg is a random web upload from a website that does not give any information on the original source and the creator. We have no information, so we cannot assume that the creator (not the subject!) died more than 70 years ago. --Polarlys (talk) 12:02, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Clarifications

I notice that some of my upload(s) on Wikimedia Commons have been altered and/or nominated despite the fact that..

(1) I legally own most of the images that I have uploaded on Wikimedia Commons, (2) The photographs were taken either my me or by a family member (including ancestors) and I have got the original negatives of most of them, (3) The photographs show our estates and/or residences and the visitors (including Gandhi, Nehru) with a family member, (4) The artist (painter) Beohar Rammanohar Sinha (1929-2007) was my father and the litterateur Beohar Rajendra Simha (1900-1988) was my grandfather, (5) Following my father’s death, I have lawfully inherited all his artworks and paintings solely by way of his WILL which unambiguously authorizes me to handle and use them whichever way I feel appropriate, (6) Even during his lifetime, I was managing all his artworks as <abrsinha@yahoo.co.uk>, (7) Without imposing any conditions, or restricting anyone’s rights, but purely to keep a track of image/file usage outside Wiki, the phrase “Seek consent from <abrsinha@yahoo.co.uk>…” has been inserted. I fully realize that this doesn’t mean much because the uploaded media is now in public domain and freely reproducible.

Hope that the above clarifies and addresses administrators concerns, and that they will now remove all ‘nominations’ from my upload(s). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abrsinha (talk • contribs)

Ok, so please do the following: Change the phrase (e.g. If you use this file, please drop me a line to let me know.). Add information on the individual creator (even if you are the heir, you are not the creator), state your relationship. I’d also recommend to send a mail to Commons:OTRS. Please see Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Abrsinha for further discussions in this matter. Thank you, --Polarlys (talk) 12:05, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

File:Portuguese ships battling the Turks at Goa

Sir how can it violate copyright sir. Source clearly shows that it is out of copy right. Portuguese ships battling the Turks at Goa, by Theodore de Bry, 1620

Source: ebay, Mar. 2003

"Theodore De Bry was variously a goldsmith, engraver and publisher in Frankfort on Main in Germany in the late 1500's, early 1600's. His magnum opus is the 'Collection of Voyages' or 'Grands et Petits Voyages'. In all there were 54 parts to these two works, replete with illustrations and maps highly prized by today's collectors. This page comes from 'Petits Voyages' and shows a view of a battle between the Portugese Armada and Turkish soldiers on horseback in Goa, western India."

And this modified by me by using Adobe Photoshop cs. Wha,s wrong with this sir.--Red Warrior xyz (talk) 10:15, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Gallery of Napoli's pictures

Mr Polarlys I contact you because I'm trying to change the main picture on the city of Naples page. I sincerely believe that the picture which appear now on the page of Naples doesn't do justice to the huge beauty of the city, the photos are old, ugly, and the most important monuments and places are missing. So I considered necessary to change it. I made a collage of several pictures of the city that I made with the camera and modified them with the program Photoshop.They are all free pictures without copyright. Then I don't understand the reason why every time I try to put them on wikipidia you always delete them. If I made something wrong with the modality I ask you to explain me in wich way I can load the photos without problems. Regards

Universal Mantra Baba Nam Kevalam Kiirtan and other files

You proposed some files uploaded from me for deletion. One is an universal mantra recordered from a gathering of some unknown persons and obviously is copywright free. An other one is an old photo of the late Ernesto Barba, this is a part of an older one (with other persons that I didn't show for privacy reasons) without exif and it's also free (and I can grant for it). What can I do for to prevent the deletion? Its very difficoult to work if every file that I upload without exif is deleted from commons. Maybe I have to insert some particular template to demostrate the possession of the images without exif? Is there a method to personally grant for the freedom of a fie? Thank you--Cornelius383 (talk) 22:29, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Give a source where the file is from. --Polarlys (talk) 14:54, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

The source (the person that recordered the audio file "Universal mantra") is a friend of mine that published it on Youtube as an audio-videofile (without any copywright limitation). Anyway yesterday I write him a mail to ask a written permission but I don't know how to reinsert again the file and how to prevent a new deletion 'couse I'm not an expert of commons.. The image of Ernesto Barba was thaken from another old image where other people was present. I obtain this photo by mail, directely from a close friend of Barba (Giovanni Bravin) that write on the talk page of the en-WP (as you can also see if you take a look at the Barba's article talk). As you can see if you take a look at my uploads I've recentely uploaded new images (all were taken by me and a few of them are quite old) but what can I do to demostrate that I'm the owner to prevent deletion? I thank you very much if yo can help me.--Cornelius383 (talk) 23:36, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

For example the Universal Mantra if the person that recorded it from (hundreds) of unknown people singing will give me the OK (I'm sure he will do..), or the image of the late Ernesto Barba because, as I said, it was extrapolated from a bigger image of a group of people (I didn't upload the big one for privacy reasons 'couse many people was there): I received this photo by mail, directely from a close friend of Barba (Giovanni Bravin) that write on the talk page of the en-WP at the Barba's article (you can chek that if you want) and after he send me the image.

Photo Deleted

Hi Polarlys I had an image file removed from my page "Susan Smith-Walsh" and when I queried it with editor Sionk she wrote that it seems to have been you who removed it. As I explained to Sionk the photo was taken by me and I had already uploaded it to Wikimedia Commons prior to adding it to my wiki page. The confusion might arise from a suspicion that I copied the file from a website http://waterfordireland.tripod.com/susan_smith.htm but please note that I am the owner and administrator of that website. I have the original photo which is a large file that I reduced in size for uploading. The editor Sionk had already raised the issue of the website with me because she thought that I had plagiarised the website. Not so! I would be obliged if you would restore the photo. I am a member of the athletic club to which Susan belonged and I have been asked by the club chairman to create the page in time for the London Olympics. Thank you in anticipation.

Thank you for sending a mail to Commons:OTRS if you are the copyright owner of the photo. Thank you, --Polarlys (talk) 16:39, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Puzzled

Thank you for replying. I'm puzzled! Will you restore the file to the wiki page? Do you require me to do something else?

(Scotty1891 (talk) 17:29, 7 June 2012 (UTC))

The file will be restored when your ticket is processed. Thank you, --Polarlys (talk) 18:34, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you left a message on this user's talk page about uploading copyrighted images, and the user has once again uploaded another copyrighted image despite this. I would suggest blocking this user. Gage (talk) 06:07, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello, you recently added 23057750@N0, which seems to be not a valid user id. There is e.g. 23057750@N02 (djricardoramirez (Ricardo Ramirez)) -- RE rillke questions? 17:25, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

DamienSandowNXT1.jpg

Could you explain what was wrong with this image I uploaded: DamienSandowNXT1.jpg. The image was from my photobucket account. Here is the link. I edited that image from another photobucket's user account, and photobucket's terms of use permits that... "You are also giving other Users the right to copy... and create derivative works from it..." Thus I decide to release the work. I realise that there is no license explicitly stated on the account, so I have granted it a license now. Can it be considered for use on Commons? Starship.paint (talk) 05:49, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

There is no such license on this page. --Polarlys (talk) 10:57, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

I wrote the license on the page yesterday, at the description. Starship.paint (talk) 00:21, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

There is no such license from the original author. --Polarlys (talk) 12:55, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Hallo Polarlys,

Du hast die Datei File:Wetten dass neu.jpg mit dem Baustein der fehlenden Genehmigung des Urhebers bzw. Rechteinhabers gekennzeichnet.

Ich denke, es wäre besser, wenn Du einen Löschantrag stellen würdest. Dann könnte geprüft werden, ob die Datei tatsächlich PD-ineligible ist. Wenn dies der Fall wäre, bräuchten wir auch keine Freigabe.

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Hallo, warum hast Du dieses File gelöscht, ohne vorher mit mir Rücksprache zu halten? Es ist mein Motorrad und meine Datei. Habe ich einen Fehler beim Hochladen bzw. bei den Informationen/Lizenzen gemacht? Ich finde auch nichts auf der Deletion Diskussionsseite dazu. Bmwtroll (talk)

File:BobHEADSHOT.jpg

Hi Polarlys: Would you please explain why this file has been deleted? If I'm doing something wrong, I want to correct it. The photo is owned by Bob Sellers and given to me for the purpose of updating his Wiki article. I know he uses the same photo in other media as well. Thank you. Jackryan733 (talk) 11:05, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Jack! Please read Commons:Licensing. We need freely licensed photos. Press licenses and similar stuff is not enough. We need an explicit permission by the copyright holder (this is the photographer, not necessarily the displayed person) for every kind of use, not for e.g. Wikipedia. Thank you. --Polarlys (talk) 11:08, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

"Unused" deletion rationale on very recent uploads

I've noticed several of your recent deletion requests cite "unused" as a rationale for deletion, despite the fact that the images have only very recently been uploaded — for example this request started a mere 39 minutes after the file was uploaded. Surely this is a misuse of policy, seeing as how we can't realistically expect an image to be "in use" so quickly after appearing here. - dcljr (talk) 12:42, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

File:Verwaltungsstruktur für Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.png

File:Verwaltungsstruktur für Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.png has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Hi Polarlys

I own all the rights for all the stills you erased on april 10. when I upload it to wikicommon I believed I answered all questions regarding the rights. Please tell me what did I miss and what kind of declaration or document should I supply to Wikicommon to show that there is not any what so ever violations of rights. one can't steal something that comletely belongs to him. Thanks.

You surely don’t own the rights to a television series. --Polarlys (talk) 21:12, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Do you want to see a copy of the contract? I am the creator- writer, director and producer, and I hold all rhe rights, my dear friend. I think you made a mistake. By the way, on the way you erased also photos of myself. not from the series.

User:FlickreviewR/bad-authors

Auf Commons talk:Questionable Flickr images und umseitig befindet sich ein Tool, das den Benutzer auch zu unserer Zweitliste (Commons:Questionable Flickr images/Users) hinzufügt. Ein Link zu einem Photo oder dem Profil genügt dazu. Die ID holt es sich automatisch durch die Flickr-API. Die Zweitliste wird u.a. von meinem License-reviewer-script benutzt, um dem Reviewenden eine Warnung bei entsprechenden Nutzern auszugeben. Ferner scheint Marin H. die Bot-Liste ab und an neu aus der /Users-Liste zu erstellen. Daher wäre es schön, wenn Du Deine Nutzer in Zukunft dort auch eintragen könntest. Und viel mehr Arbeit ist es nun auch nicht mehr. Übrigens kannst Du dir das Widget auch auf Deine Benutzerseite setzen: {{Dashboard/Widgets/Add blacklist user}} -- Danke. -- Rillke^(q?) 21:21, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Please explain deletion nominations better

I see you're still using "unused, personal file, see COM:SCOPE" in your deletion nominations. As we've discussed before, I don't think that description usually fits why you have decided to nominate the file for deletion. You really should use something like "unidentified person, no realistic educational use, see COM:SCOPE" when it is appropriate. - dcljr (talk) 19:43, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

I think this statement is sufficient. “identifying” the person doesn’t change anything, btw. --Polarlys (talk) 19:56, 4 May 2013 (UTC) PS: Have you figured out how many images that clearly are not covered by Commons:Project scope are uploaded every day, especially with these great new apps? --Polarlys (talk) 19:56, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

If the identity of the person is not relevant, then why repeatedly ask who the person in the photo is when your deletion nominations are questioned? So not only are you being sloppy in your deletion nominations, now you're contradicting the very arguments you were giving for why your nominations were appropriate in the first place. Lovely. - dcljr (talk) 02:17, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

File:CATheVoice.jpg

The uploader of this image was warned by you to stop uploading any more copy vios. And yet he uploaded another photo above from a new flickr account with only three images. The image resolution is medium-high and is in jpeg and yet there is no camera metadata? How interesting. Perhaps you should consider banning this uploader for 2 weeks. The flickr account may be a flickr washing account as the photo was only taken yesterday. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 06:07, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Avís "Manca d'informació amb el fitxer File:Albeniz i Jack.jpeg"

Hola Polarlys, no em queda clar què cal que faci amb aquesta imatge que vaig carregar. L'avís diu que "fitxer ara per ara no especifica qui ha creat el contingut", però jo veig que a l'arxiu hi posa "treball propi", que és el que és. És una fotografia feta per mi d'un pòster d'Isaac Albéniz que tenen al Museu de la Música de Barcelona. A més, si t'hi fixes, vaig enganzar un connector jack al pòster, sobre del puro que Albéniz estava fumant. Quina informació més he d'especificar a la fitxa de la imatge? Gràcies! --Marionaaragay (talk) 09:43, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi! I am sorry, but I don’t speak your language. The file has no source. A good source wood be e.g. a book where you took the file from and the photographers name as the author. Regards, --Polarlys (talk) 16:28, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you don't speak Catalan. The original image was a poster in the Library of the Music Museum of Barcelona, a Public Domain Image of the musician Isaac Albeniz (1880-1909). So there is no photographer to quote as the autor. What can I do? Thanks and regards!--Marionaaragay (talk) 16:18, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

You can state that the photographer is unknown, that the photo is displayed in the museum and that you created the reproduction (for which you can't claim copyrights). Regards, --Polarlys (talk) 18:53, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
