Adil Raja's Images[edit]

Hello. I messaged earlier. What should I do moving forward to get these images back? Despite the Conflict of Interest, is it possible for the page to get accepted? I made it really neutral. How long should it take for my article to get reviewed? WarriorYt43 (talk) 18:00, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have two problems here. The first is, that as I noted at the UnDR, all of the images infringe on the copyrights of the actual photographers. In order to deal with that, each of them must send a free license using VRT.
The second is the acceptance of the article on WP. This is Commons, not WP, so I cannot comment directly on that. However I suggest that you follow the notes in the header to the draft -- that you notify all of those who commented on the deleted draft. .     Jim . . .

John Morgan Image[edit]

Hello Jim,

I have recently created a Wikipedia Page on John Morgan, 6th Baron Tredegar. In an infobox, I have added a portrait of him in 1950, by Leonard J Fuller.

When I uploaded the image, I selected the "Share Alike 4.0 Creative Commons" copyright status. Since then, the image has been removed from the Wikipedia Commons, as "author died in 1973, meaning the image cannot be used until 2046".

I was suggested by another Wikipedia user, to contact you for advice on how to upload my image.

Please find attached, a link to the image.


Best Regards,

Mac Edmunds,

Mac: It is a waste of your time and mine to raise the same issue in two places. You have, no doubt, read my message on UnDR about the only way to get the image restored to Commons. You have also read Abzeronow's suggestion that the image can probably be uploaded to WP:EN, subject to the Fair Use rules there. I'm not sure what you want me to add here. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:41, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jim,
I am new to Wikipedia. Apologies - I didn't realise you had replied... I thought it was Abzeronow providing me a link to your talk page.
I have now read your messages. Please could I ask, what does "WP:EN" stand for. Moreover, how could I go about contacting Leonard Fuller's heir?

WP:EN means English Wikipedia (what most people just call "Wikipedia"). The link to where you'd want to upload is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload and please read en:Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria before you upload to make sure the file meets the criteria. Abzeronow (talk) 21:24, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much

Mac Edmunds (talk) 21:33, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would help if I could, but I have no idea how to contact Fuller's heir -- as the uploader it is your responsibility to do all that is required to prove beyond a substantial doubt that the image is free. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:44, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Kusama at Tate Modern 2012[edit]

Notification about possible deletion. Jim, I have no idea what your comment references. I have made no request for deletion of this image that I can recall. --zeamays (talk) 14:30, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Lotte Tower Hanoi - NKS (9 to 16).jpg[edit]

Mind if I undelete this? It wasn't clearly labeled, but it seems to be a derivative of File:Lotte Tower Hanoi - NKS.jpg. The original was uploaded before the 2023 cut-off for Vietnam buildings (COM:FOP Vietnam), so the cropped image should be ok once I clean up the attribution. Thanks. IronGargoyle (talk) 22:09, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree -- the solar reflection is identical in the two versions. As you say, they need to be cross referenced. Thank you for asking. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:25, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Friendship Building deletion - all photos?[edit]

You deleted photos according to Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Greece–Bosnia and Herzegovina Friendship Building. I don't remember what photos there were, but I am surprised none of the nominated images were excluded based on de minimis. What about the images of trams (according to file names), the fire (there must have been such images as I commented on them) and the damage (the damage may have been de minimis, but was it perhaps the main motif, then perhaps falling under the Article 44 "informing the public" clause)? I assume most of the images needed to go, but if we can save some images of the fire and of the war damage, those are important for histography, and might be salvageable according to the above. –LPfi (talk) 07:47, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In response to your request, I have just reviewed all of the images. In every case, a large modern building is the most prominent thing in the image. In the case of the trams, one might argue that the trams are de minimis, but not the buildings. One of the modern buildings shown was very much on fire, but that does not make it out of copyright. Another had clearly burned out, same problem. Article 44 applies only "Within the scope required for informing the public on current events". While the fires may have fallen under this clause shortly after they happened, they are clearly no longer current events. .     Jim . . .

This DR[edit]

Dear Jim,

I filed a DR about 13 days ago and other users spotted other images from a flickrwashing account listed in the DR above. This flickrwashing account has now been added to a blacklist but the images from it are still in use such as this image which is "Copyright: Jorge A. Novoa, www.jorgenovoa.com" as the camera metadata says. Is it time to just delete all the images from this account and close this DR as a delete? Most of the images from this account are of low resolution and have no metadata. No one knows who the copyright owner is. Kind Regards and Goodnight from Canada, --Leoboudv (talk) 12:13, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:48, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jim, I'm just helping out Andrew Matthews (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Matthews_(author)) as he is not experienced with editing wikipedia. He noted that his photo was deleted from his profile. Looking through the history I can see that you removed the photo on June 6, 2020. Just wondering why this was as it also helps with disambiguation from the entomologist of the same name? He is happy to supply a photo. Cheers from Australia, Penny Pennylewis (talk) 01:30, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
See Commons:Deletion requests/File:Andrew-Matthews.jpg. There is a white wall behind him with a cartoon figure on it, so keeping the image on Commons would require written permission from the artist using VRT, .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:36, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Haha, that makes sense, but there's a big but: this is Andrews signature move - he's an accomplished artist and when he speaks at events he draws a figure, cleverly not revealing who/what it is until the very end. His books are similarly illustrated. You will see this on his website: [1]https://andrewmatthews.com/]
Do you need anything more to reinstate? Pennylewis (talk) 01:35, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
See Commons:Deletion requests/File:Andrew-Matthews.jpg. There are two licenses required here, neither of which seems to be present -- one from the actual photographer and one from Matthews for the art. Both should be sent using VRT. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:27, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for this. Sorry, for my lack of understanding, learning at speed. Will do the VRT application. Pennylewis (talk) 22:41, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
PS Did I pick the right place to start this thread on this page? Could not see an alternative... Pennylewis (talk) 22:42, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All good -- you start talk page threads at the bottom, which it was when you started it. Commons and copyright can be a steep learning curve, so feel free to ask questions. Most Admins do their best to be helpful to new editors who ask questions and don't bull ahead incorrectly. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:14, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your patience. Andrew has put together the information, with a new photo, and is sending it off for VAT approval - to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. Pennylewis (talk) 23:58, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion requests/File:S garvezys1.jpg[edit]

Jameslwoodward, you kept the image full of mistakes, with highly possible copyright issue (no source for locomotive drawing provided) and not used anywhere. --Obivan Kenobi (talk) 11:15, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mistakes in the description are, as I said in the closing comment, not a valid reason for deletion. Instead of deleting the image, we fix the mistakes. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:40, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:National Bank of Romania (new building), Bucharest[edit]

You deleted this on URAA grounds, but the URAA cannot restore the copyright of something which was uncopyrightable in the US (in this case, pre-1990 architecture). Could you clarify or expand if there was another reason why this was deleted? Thanks. IronGargoyle (talk) 14:05, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake. I have restored them all and changed the closing comment. Thank you very much. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:56, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

BCS license & copyright[edit]

Hi, I wanted to ask about your closing of Commons:Deletion requests/File:Reperti archeologici S. Ginesio - Elmo di San Ginesio 01.jpg. Your closing statement says "the restriction is clearly based on copyright", but the BCS license specifically says that it is in line with the "No Copyright - Altre Restrizione Legali Note" (No Copyright - Other Known Legal Restrictions) declaration based upon the ownership or cultural stewardship of an item otherwise in public domain. As I'm reading it, this is a non-copyright limitation that creates a caution for potential reuse beyond Commons, but not a restriction of its inclusion in the project. Are you seeing something else that makes the restriction one related to copyright (and thus should be deleted)? —Tcr25 (talk) 16:06, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There may be subtleties here that need an Italian speaker, but as I see it, the BCS license is a copyright license, which licenses the photograph. The object photographed appears to predate the concept of copyright. While I think I am correct, I suggest you make an Undeletion Request. .     Jim . . .
