Derivative work, cannot be licesed PD without Sinn Féin's permission. -- Siebrand 09:56, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
- There seems to be some confusing over this image. I created the Sfnew.jpg image and it was loaded into en.Wikipedia by me, another editor then uploaded the image without my knowledge into wikimedia commons, I have no problem with the image being included on wikimedia commons. The other issue is the fact that this image is a Derivative work of the image used by the Sinn Féin party, to this I would say that the current image used by the party is also a Dirivative work of a design I created around 1980/81 as part of a idea for a recruiting poster for Dublin Sinn Féin, the idea was later used by the party as a badge/logo.--Padraig3uk 10:31, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Wrong name, not needed, unconventional layout (so not used on wikipedia). It's name "KaartDeinze" means "Map of Deinze": this is wrong and misleading: this image:DeinzeMap.svg is the original map of Deinze. Secondly: it seems this map was created somehow to show the location of the village of Gottem. Well, this image:GottemLocation.svg shows the location. And third: we have hundreds of maps to show villages in a uniform layout, this is NOT a clean and conventional way; an infobox with the SVG image shown before does the job. As this image is wrong and redundant, it may be deleted to clean things up and avoid confusion. --LimoWreck 23:39, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep Israel has freedom of panorama on 3-D objects. The photo is not a derivative work. Carl Lindberg 15:43, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- Good piece of news. I added a {{FOP}} disclaimer, then. --User:G.dallorto 17:53, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- Don't think it needs even that. I don't see any restrictions on FOP in the Israeli law there; the photo is explicitly not a derivative work and so the copyright is fully owned by the photographer. I don't see the need for the extra tag (which at first glance seems specific to German FOP law). Carl Lindberg 02:46, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
- No, the disclaimer is general. There is no reference to German laws. However, it is not true that "the copyright is fully owned by the photographer". The copyright on the picture is, but the moral rights on the piece of art are owned by the artist, and by his heirs for 70 years after his death. I am glad some pictures uploaded under the FOP clause will allow Commons to have at least a few images of contemporaries artists. --User:G.dallorto 11:38, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
- Moral rights are separate from copyright (and in some countries they never expire). The tag seems to imply restrictions on derivative works of this photo, which I feel is incorrect. The wording on the tag seems to refer to the German FOP law, but I have rarely seen those same restrictions in the FOP clauses in the laws from other countries. Some countries have non-commercial restrictions (and we generally don't allow those on commons), but Israel is not one of them. The sculptor in this case has no copyright claims on the photo whatsoever, including derivative works of the photo, but that tag implies they do. Carl Lindberg 15:08, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
- I don't agree with what you say, but since this picture can stay under FOP provision, there is no point in debating further. The picture may legitimally stay. --User:G.dallorto 11:46, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

There is no reason to assume that this photo from 1922 is public domain. Reti was not from the US. Photos from 1922 are not public domain as a general rule, except if the author has been dead for over 70 years, and this photo has no information of its original source -- Fred Chess 08:24, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yann was referring to {{Anonymous-EU}}, I'm a bit skeptical as to what constitutes anonymity for this legal claim. I'm not so sure that us not being able to find who took the picture in a random google search is enough to constitute anonymity and therefore the use of {{Anonymous-EU}}.

This image is not Josh Hancock, rather, it is Brandon Claussen. This can be proven because the Reds logo is flipped around and is backwards, and it shows the pitcher throwing right handed in the image, which means that this pitcher is left handed when you reverse the image back to it's original position. --68.56.180.115 21:06, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep This is Josh Hancock. Proof is at Image:Baseball_pitching_motion_2004.jpg, the source of the image, which clearly displays the number "43", not reversed, not altered. The number "43" belonged to Josh Hancock during his tenure with the Cincinnati Reds. This is Josh Hancock. It should not be deleted. Zachary talk 21:11, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

WAIT: Notice the Reds logo on the uniform, it is backwards. The Reds have NEVER worn a backwards C with the word "SDER" (in backwards letters) on the left side of the chest in their uniform. I believe the "3" and "4" were photoshopped, as Claussen wore "34" when on the Reds.
There's the image in its proper form, the only thing incorrect is the number, which appears to have been edited.

- Comment - Yes, it does, because all the motions are the reverse of what they should be. Furthermore, we are being fundamentally dishonest by hosting photographs that purport to be of historical events yet lie to the viewer. Such an act would not be acceptable in any major newspaper or magazine, and it shouldn't be acceptable on the Commons either.

- Keep, I'm not exactly sure what has been done to make the C reversed, but I don't think something should be deleted for that. I mean, I agree with FCYTravis, but I take that as a reason to avoid its usage (or make explicit explanation of what was done to the photo) in articles, not for deletion from the commons. It can be a valuable image here and what was done to it should be explained. gren 05:41, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment - It's not just the "C" that has been reversed. The entire image is flipped, and incorrect numbers have been photoshopped in. This came up because the photo was purported to be an image of a now-deceased pitcher (w:Josh Hancock). It's not. The photo is doctored and unsalvageable unless we have the original photos.

The original sequence of images (of Brandon Claussen) is now at Image:Baseball_pitching_motion_2004r.jpg. The change in orientation was merely an aesthetic thing; nothing more sinister than that. The hive can decide where to go with it from here; I have no opinion. Rdikeman 21:43, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, absolutely! As an illustration for conveying to the reader what a baseball pitch looks like, it's excellent. It was obviously flipped just to show a natural left-to-right progression...nothing sinister or dishonest about it. And that flipping doesn't matter in the least...it's not puporting to document a historical event. If it were a hand-drawn or computer-generated cartoon, showing four stages in a baseball pitch, I don't think anyone would have a problem with it. This is an equivalent thing...an area where some artistic license is permissible. Consider it an artist's illustration based on real photographic source material. Now if it were presented as an actual series of photographs of the subject pitcher, or of his 25,000th pitch, that would be inappropriate. But as an illustrative tool for the pitching article, it's superb. 134.131.125.49 16:52, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

- (see also the related debates for Template:PD-Finland50 and Template:PD-Sweden-photo)
w:Directive on harmonising the term of copyright protection contained a clause for unifying the demarcation for protection as photographic works (photos are "to be considered original if it is the author's own intellectual creation reflecting his personality, no other criteria such as merit or purpose being taken into account", in direct contradiction to this template). There are court decisions in Germany[8] and Austria[9][10][11] that have decided this uniform demarcation to be very low, such that basically only mug shots and reproduction photography, where the outcome is more or less determined by the task, would remain as simple photographs. Even if, for some reason, this uniform demarcation has not been received the same way in Denmark (but I cannot find a court decision contradicting it), the directive would still cause the works to be protected in other EU countries that agree with the German/Austrian interpretation, because the the EU-wide anti-discrimination laws. When Copy-Dan writes that "Since no established legal practice exists in this field, drawing the line between photographic works and photographic images can be difficult"[12], it seems not to have noticed the German and Austrian court cases, and when it writes that a photograph is non-simple "if the image has the necessary independent / artistic merit. In practical terms it will often be taken into account if the person in question had taken a professional education as a photographer and / or if he had this occupation for a living" ([13], p.5), it seems not to have noticed the clause in the EU directive that, since it was implemented, must be taken as the binding interpretation of any remaining unclarity. Please someone who can speak danish write to copy-dan informing them about these mistakes. --rtc 17:49, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
As we have seen in the PD-Finland50 case, there is some scope in interpreting the "author's own intellectual creation", "personality" etc. Anyhow, I have a strong reservation regarding those "simple photograph" licenses because people don't exactly know about the limitation unless there are some legislative clarifications or exemplary case law. Based on my experience i think that such templates are highly misused and cannot be maintained with reasonable costs. Therefore i think it should be deleted.--Wiggum 18:59, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
"Please someone who can speak danish write to copy-dan informing them about these mistakes." Who sad it is a mistake. Just because a german and austrian decision has been mad doesn't make it law in Denmark. (Last time I checked EU is still a collection of independent states). Just because you want the same rules on copyright in every country and your main goal on Commons apparently is deleting as many photos as possible doesn't make it right. --Broadbeer 21:46, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not going to waste my time on German law anymore. I've wasted too much of my life on it last time this template was nominated for deletion, and this is turning into a perpetuum mobile. However, I will say publicly that a German judge has no authority outside of his own nation, and rulings by German courts will very likely not be a deciding factor in a Danish court of law, as Danish legal traditions are based on Danish law with inputs from Scandinavian law, Common law and Roman law, in that order (source: Peter Schønning: "Ophavsretten med kommentarer"). But it is kind of interesting to see that the deletionist rampage isn't applied with the same rigour everywhere. We have a ton of images tagged with {{PD-Coa-Germany}}, and they might very well be PD there. but I don't believe for a second that any image using this tag is PD in Denmark or anywhere else where they don't hold any official status. {{PD-art}} images are PD in Germany and the US, but not in many other nations. If the idea is that images on Commons must be free to use for everybody, then these images are disqualified as well. If there is a higher meaning in these deletion nominations, I can't follow it. Valentinian (talk) 09:41, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Quite outside of the EU regulations, the threshold of originality varies amongst countries, and such "simple photographs" from Denmark are eligible for copyright as "photographic works" in other countries where the threshold of originality is low (such as the U.S.). Therefore, I do not consider such "simple photograph" exceptions useful here at the commons; such photos may be protected only for a short term in Denmark, but may well be works with a long copyright term outside of Denmark. Such images are better hosted at the Danish WP. Lupo 10:53, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- (On PD-Coa-Germany: COAs in Germany are PD by virtue of having been published in official legislative documents (which is madated by GErmany's administrative laws), and many countries including the U.S. exclude such official legislative documents from copyright.

Many governments, even where they can hold copyrights, explicitly exclude "legislative documents" and such from copyright. Third, my argument for deletion had nothing to do with either, nor with Germany, nor with Austria, nor with any EU regulation, but with the different thresholds of originality in different countries, which IMO severely limits the usefulness of these "simple photograph" templates.

I think it's quite sad the way quotes a Danish document like this: "-- -- a photograph is non-simple 'if the image has the necessary independent / artistic merit. In practical terms it will often be taken into account if the person in question had taken a professional education as a photographer and / or if he had this occupation for a living' ([6], p.5)".

The first part of this tag is invalidated by w:Directive on harmonising the term of copyright protection#Copyright restoration. Concerning the second part: The directive contained a clause for unifying the demarcation for protection as photographic works (photos are "to be considered original if it is the author's own intellectual creation reflecting his personality, no other criteria such as merit or purpose being taken into account"). There are court decisions in Germany[15] and Austria[16][17][18] that have decided this uniform demarcation to be very low, such that basically only mug shots and reproduction photography, where the outcome is more or less determined by the task, would remain as simple photographs. Even if, for some reason, this uniform demarcation has not been received the same way in Sweden (but I cannot find a court decision contradicting it), the directive would still cause the works to be protected in other EU countries that agree with the German/Austrian interpretation, because the the EU-wide anti-discrimination laws. --rtc 17:46, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment
A while ago the template PD-Soviet was discussed. There, the United States court interpreted the Russian copyright law in deciding that an image was protected by copyright in Russia, and thereby also in the U.S.
Now, the German copyright law says that it applies to people in all countries of the E.U. (correct me if I'm wrong), so I understand that forum shopping is possible there. Which is what happened to the Italian music/opera that was found to be copyrighted in Germany.
How many countries say that they allow their own copyright law to supersede the copyright law of the country it was created in? For example, the Swedish copyright law would give no reason to do so -- it says in its article 60 that it only apply to works published in Sweden or published by Swedes. [19] And Sweden actually has ratified the EU directive on harmonization of copyright (you can see it being referenced in article 61a). So, I do not think that forum shopping would be possible in Sweden, for example.
So in which countries are forum shopping possible? If it is only possible in Germany then it is better to keep the template with a note that it can't be used on German Wikipedia.
Fred Chess 20:56, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- Forum shopping is possible in all countries (except those which signed no copyright treaty at all, but that can change at any moment, and the Foundation has stated that we do as if there were such treaties, anyway). Swedish copyright law applies to works of all countries with which Sweden has signed treaties. That is, swedish copyright law protects all EU works without consideration of rule of the shorter terms, and it protects external works with rule of the shorter term. The copyright law of the country it was created in is basically completely irrelevant except in rule oft the shorter term calculations. And it is really only this calcuation. Whether the work passes threshold of originality, whether it is a simple photograph, whether panorama freedom applies etc. is always determined by the law of the country in which the restriction is sued for, not by the law of the country in which the work has been created. --rtc 22:15, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
The clause in the directive which to unifies the demarcation for a "work" is the same that has been in use in Sweden for decades before the directive. What Rtc fails to understand time after time, is that the one simple line in directive can be interpreted in many ways—and is interpreted in many ways. Samulili 09:14, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- The EU directive is very clear that photos are "to be considered original if it is the author's own intellectual creation reflecting his personality, no other criteria such as merit or purpose being taken into account", and the German court has said that this means it's original as soon as the photographer chooses the position freely and presses the button by his own choice. This is so broad that hardly any picture remains that is not a photographic work. --rtc 16:25, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Do you understand the difference between European Union directive and European Union regulation? --Pudeo 20:28, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
The directive dictates the result, and the result is very clearly described in the directive. We know the result that had to be achieved.

- Delete Quite outside of the EU regulations, the threshold of originality varies amongst countries, and such "simple photographs" from Sweden are eligible for copyright as "photographic works" in other countries where the threshold of originality is low (such as the U.S.). Therefore, I do not consider such "simple photograph" exceptions useful here at the commons; such photos may be protected only for a short term in Sweden, but may well be works with a long copyright term outside of Sweden. Such images are better hosted at the Swedish WP. Lupo 10:52, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep The copyright harmonization directive rtc brings out does not apply to the photos considered here. This template considers photos which are not "author's own intellectual creations reflecting his personality", so they are covered by a related right, not copyright. The German courts demarcate the level of intellectual creation differently from Finland or Sweden and there is no Union-level jurisprudence. The views of German or Austrian courts do not bind Swedish courts or the courts of European Union. The final say on whether Swedish Copyright law provides photos with the protection required by the Copyright directive rests with the Court of European Communities. Before that court issues judgement, nobody knows. However, we should not be overcautious. So, you can get into trouble with these pictures if you use them in Germany or Austria, but outside them, there is no use to restrict the use of these images. --MPorciusCato 13:02, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- User:rtc agrees with you. In September rtc wrote: "Since I strongly suppose that it is not the case "that the Austrian and German cases are also significant for other EU members", you are of course right that "showing it individually for the other EU member countries" is the only way to find out.". Thuresson 16:48, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- If this template considers photos which are not the "author's own intellectual creation[s] reflecting his personality", then it is simply misapplied completely. Only reproduction photography, mugshots etc., where the technical goal determines the outcome, cannot be considered "author's own intellectual creation[s] reflecting his personality". As soon as the photographer can in principle choose the position freely and press the button arbitrarily, it is the "author's own intellectual creation reflecting his personality" The German court case is well significant for the other EU members insofar as they give a well founded opinion on how the directive's "author's own intellectual creation reflecting his personality" is to be interpreted. The Austrian court cases shows that this German court case is cited even by non-German courts, as a uniform demarcation to be applied EU-wide. If you publish a allegedly, but not really simple photograph in Sweden, and I sue you there, do you think the court there would ignore it if I pointed them to the German decision? --rtc 17:19, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- That you say that principle is completely misapplied is an opinion, not an argument. I think that the misapplication has taken place in Germany/Austrian. This, too, is an opinion, ie. just another stinking asshole...
- And sure, someone in Finland(/Sweden/Denmark) could bring up the case in Germany/Austria. But it is immensely more likely that they will ask the opionion of the Finnish copyright council which will bare immensely more weight and whose opinion we also know. Furthermore, it doesn't really reflect well on the German/Austrian attitude, if the opinions of these two countries are set up as the model for the whole Europe when, in fact, the opinion of the Court of European Communities is the only one which has any significans accross borders. Samulili 18:31, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- What I say is not "an opinion", it is a fact. There has been no misapplication in Germany/Austria. The judgement was well based and the judge was well aware of the former law of Germany which was the same as the old law in Sweden, and which set high requirements for photographic works. But this was the old law, and it has changed since the implementation of the directive. According to your standards, I'd say that whatever you say or whatever the copyright council says is "just an opinion". A wrong opinion is not any better just because it is held by some alleged authority. There is still the pre-directive interpretation of the law floating around, and courts, copyright offices and so on are all not yet completely aware of the change and judge according to the old standards. However, this is the past. --rtc 19:19, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- What did the old law of Germany say and what do you think that the Swedish law says? The Swedish law: "Anyone who has created a literary or artistic work shall have copyright in that work, regardless of whether it is -- -- a photographic work -- --." ("Den som har skapat ett litterärt eller konstnärligt verk har upphovsrätt till verket oavsett om det är -- -- fotografiskt verk -- --.") Samulili 19:30, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- The old German law was interpreted as artistic merit or purpose being necessary for a photo to be protected as a photographic work. Since the EU directive has been implemented, this has changed, since it explicitly rejects that criterion ("no other criteria such as merit or purpose being taken into account" -- there can be no misunderstanding about that, and it's simply quite ridiculous that people are simply ignoring it) What does the cited part of the swedish law have to do with our discussion? --rtc 19:37, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- You claimed something about old and new Swedish law, so it's relevant to know just what stands in the law. Mind you, there is no old or new Swedish in this respect. What I quoted has stayed the same for 47 years. You also write: "The judgement was well based and the judge was well aware of the former law of Germany which was the same as the old law in Sweden." Then you write: "The old German law was interpreted as artistic merit or purpose being necessary for a photo to be protected as a photographic work." Swedish law does not require that a photo has artistic merit or purpose for a photo to be protected as a work. It never has required. Samulili 19:43, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- Then we agree that the criterion is not artistic merit or purpose, but choosing position and pressing the button? (in contrast to mugshots, satellite photos etc. where it is predetermined by the task and no personality reflected). We also agree that the template is certainly valid, but all pictures uploaded under it are actually photographic works? --rtc 19:50, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- You want to know my asshole? It is that photos that reflect personality are to be considered works. My asshole also says that choosing position and the moment of pressing the button reflect personality only when choosing the position and the moment of pressing the button reflect personality. The template is certainly valid and, no, the pictures that are using it, are not works. Samulili 19:57, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- The pictures that are using it are all works, since they were shot by choosing the position and the moment of pressing the button. You can recycle this template for reproduction photography. It covers the same range of photos as Template:PD-art, just for sweden. --rtc 20:06, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

- I briefly read your links, it seems that because of legal precedent, EU directives are indeed binding and enforceable for member states, this marginalizes your claims that is acceptable to ignore the EU directive.

- "Notwithstanding the fact that directives were not originally thought to be binding before they were implemented by member states, the European Court of Justice developed the doctrine of direct effect where unimplemented directives can actually have direct legal force and in Francovich v. Italy the court found Italy liable for their failure to implement a directive."[21] and 'Direct Effect' [22] 'In Comet v. Produktschap (Case 45/76) [1976] ECR 2043, the European Court of Justice established that the procedural rules of each member state generally apply to cases of EC law.'

Secondly, he could do that even if there never was any case in Germany. And thirdly: We can all be sued whether we are guilty or not – but at least we're innocent until proven guilty, not vice versa.

However, that directive was repealed in 2006 and replaced with Directive 2006/116/EC which states about photographs that are not works: "The protection of other photographs should be left to national law." National law in this case states that photographs that are not works are protected for 50 years if published after 1968. Photographic works and simple photographs that had become public domain in 1994 when the copyright act was changed did not have their copyright revived (Law 1994:190).

- Keep
the whole discussion about PD-Finland-50, PD-Dennmark, and PD-Sweden is useless for obvious reason, that we all have to respect the regulations of Finnish, Swedish or Dannish law, and the only valid interpretation is F, S. or D. court interpretation of common law, not private German opinions is (or even verdicts of German Courts - there are suitable only on the territory of FRG, not abroad.

This is a utterly useless license. While i do not dispute the 50 years for non-work photographs this case is similar to the PD-Italy-problem. The limits for works are very low, in case of Finland, Commons:Licensing#Finland states that only photographs in which the "[...] photographer had no control over the composition or lighting of the picture can not be concidered works of art.". I checked some pictures which where tagged with PD-Finland50, not a single one of them was a non-work under the described circumstances. The reason for deletion request on the template and not on the single picture: I can't imagine that there is a photograph which complies with the quoted requirements on "simpleness" and is of any use on commons. Actually Germany has the same requirements for simple photographs and i don't remember to have seen a useful simple photograph ever.--Wiggum 14:55, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- Keep Once again these Germans come all over Europe to tell what to do. I tell you something, this is a Finnish law, and the Finnihs copyright council has given a decision that this image is not a work so you claims of not-simpleness are bollocks. -Samulili 22:08, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- This is a very astonishing example, i didn't know it before. Actually, with this picture being a simple work, COM:L is pretty wrong or at least extremely misleading. The photographer has "control over the composition or lighting of the picture" when he uses a simple photocamera (you know, diaphragm, exposure, film speed, used photographic lens, moment when he triggers the shutter etc.pp.), so this is a wording which applies to the example image you provided. If this "copyright council" (what is it?) is correct, the wording should be: "Virtually any photograph is a simple photograph. A picture is only considered as a photographic work when the following criteria apply: ...".
- This leads me to the next consideration. There should be a testable distinction to use the template reasonable. I would like to see a picture which is considered a photograpic work or much better i would appreciate to see the hard criteria for photographic works.
- Finally, with PD-Finland50 we have the same international implications like we had with PD-Italy before. Since each country has it's own definition of what is a "simple photograph" and the rule of shorter term isn't applicable within the EU, the pictures are still protected in a number of countries, in detail in all countries which have a very low limit for photograpic works (i.e. Germany and Austria) and in all countries without a distinction between simple photographs and works. Lupo kindly provided an overview on this issue: User:Lupo/Simple Photographs.--Wiggum 09:22, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- Wiggum, I deeply respect your calm tone and I apologize for being such a jerk. I see how you were mislead by the text on the licensing page. I changed the text so that it is clear that the image is only an example. There were further problems on the page, too. The reasoning given was that of the other party in the dispute while the reasoning of the Copyright council was: "Council sees that the photograph -- -- is despite its historical importance a regular photo of current events. The photograph does not demonstrate original and personal contribution from the photographer and so it can't be considered to be -- a photographic work." The Council also says that the "threshold of originality" is typically considered to be quite high.
- The Copyright council is a council set by the copyright law and whose purpose is to Ministry of Education in copyright questions and to give statements on the application of the law. It consists of parties from copyright holder, users of copyrighted material and legal experts.
- It is my understanding that the legal experts in Finland agree that nobody really knows where the threshold of originality exaclty lies and why it is there. The council does not give legally binding statements and it doesn't create general rules but only handles individual cases. As it probably has the best experts of the field, its statement will nevertheless have a lot of influence in court. -Samulili 12:41, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- The definition of "the control over the composition or lighting of the picture" is not supposed to mean the usual technical changes made on the camera to produce a good image. It is supposed, in the context of Finnish law, to mean that the author specifically has chosen the overall composition or lighting in a way designed to produce an artistic quality to the picture. Most importantly, this applies to studio photos. Not a single person in Finland has ever tried to claim that a news image or a common family portrait would not fall under "simple photograph". The only persons having qualms over this are here, on the Commons. Let us not have a holier-than-thou attitude. --MPorciusCato 07:38, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Delete. This has exactly the same issues as {{PD-Italy}}, namely that (a) we don't know where to draw the line between "simple photographs" and "photographic works", (b) that line would be different in any other country, so works that might be "simple photographs" in Finland would be "photographic works" in many other countries, and (c) we don't know precisely what the effects of EU directive 93/98/EEC with regards to that line (threshold of originality) are. Even if (c) should turn out to be a non-issue, (a) and (b) mean IMO that the template is unsuitable for the commons. It may make sense at the Finnish Wikipedia, but hardly on other Wikipedias. Lupo 13:40, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- c) I think it's a non issue when, in fact, we have nothing that would strongly indicate that the license is not good. Innocent before proven guilty, not the other way around.
- b) If it is a general line that we can't approve of country specific PD-licenses, then we should first discuss that line and only afterwards delete ~100 country specific licenses.
- a) How come we don't know where to draw the line in case of PD-Finland but we seem to know where to draw it in case of logos and we have {{PD-ineligible}}? -Samulili 09:44, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment Well, Directive 93/98/EEC defines what a photographic work is, so the point where the line has to be drawn is now the same in all Member States. -- ３２４７ (talk) 15:01, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- Definitions will always have to be interpreted by courts. EU countries have different court systems which may make (and probably do make) different interpretations, and the final word – as I understand it – can only come from en:Court of First Instance or en:European Court of Justice. -Samulili 11:30, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- Keep – I do not see a point starting separate discussions for single licenses. According to Commons:Licensing#Country-specific_laws, I do not need to take German law into account when uploading a Finnish picture from Finland. If you think that this guideline should be changed, discuss it there. This is the wrong way and only disrupts work. --ThePeter 08:15, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment re article six in the directive: Copyright protects photographs that are "the author's own intellectual creation". What does this mean? On what qualifications do 3247 and others interpret what it means? / Fred Chess 08:58, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- On the qualification that "no other criteria such as merit or purpose [are to be] taken into account". Germany and Austria have given a very strong interpretation of this. Even if you assume that the directive has been received differently in different EU countries and even under the presupposition (in contradiction to the German and Austrian courts interpretation of the directive) that Italian simple photos still exist, this does not make Italian simple photos free after 20 years for example in Sweden, where (under the same presupposition) they will be restricted for at least another 30 years. Sweden photos will be restricted for 70 pma in Germany, Austria, and surely other countries who follow their interpretation. There is no rule of the shorter term within the EU. Forum Shopping is possible. --Rtc 16:35, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment Rtc, there is a misunderstanding between us. I want to know, on what premise you and 3247 know what an "intellectual creation" refer to? According to Commons:Licensing the Finnish Copyright Council (in 2003?) considered this photo public domain because "-- despite its historical importance it is a regular photo of current events. The photograph does not demonstrate original and personal contribution from the photographer and so it can't be considered to be a photographic work." This is what I consider an interpretation by qualified people. If you say the Finnish Copyright Council is acting against E.U. directive, could you provide material by qualified people to support that claim? / Fred Chess 19:45, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- That's not the point. The point is that even if the picture might be free in Finland, it is only free according to the finnish law. Since there is no rule of shorter term within the EU, it would need to be free in each EU country to be legal, which it is for sure not, since it is illegal at least in Germany and Austria (where we know for sure) and many other EU countries (rights holder can try one after another...) Because of forum shopping, the picture may not be kept. If the Finnish rights owner does not succeed in Finland, he can go to a German court with the desired success. You are all somehow ignoring the many new possibilities european citizens have within Europe, including the possibility of forum shopping. We have a proof that forum shopping happens and that it works: a photo that was legal by Austrian panorama freedom and that was shot legally inside Austria and was sued for in Germany, because Germany has stricter panorama freedom rules. Successfully. I do not understand why we are discussing. --Rtc 01:05, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Why should we care that it may not be used in Germany? Our licensing instructions say "Consequently any licence to use the material should apply in all jurisdictions relevant". No offence, but Germany is not a relevant jurisdiction. -Samulili 07:57, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Well ok, I agree that it is probably better to start to remove images with PD-Finland, PD-Denmark50, and PD-Sweden-photo. They should be uploaded to those Wikipedias that thinks it is safe to use them. This might also mean that images from e.g. Germany who are copyright protected in Germany could be uploaded to e.g. Finnish Wikipedia as public domain under some circumstances.
Fred Chess 12:33, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Samulii: the problem as I see it is that the states of the EU
- if they have signed w:Directive harmonizing the term of copyright protection (which many have), they can for themselves define the protection of non-creative photos. This means that:
- they need to have a clause in their copyright law that defines non-creative photos. As you can see from User:Lupo/Simple Photographs not many countries have such a clause.
As a result, there are too many states that (as far as we know) do not have lesser protection for simple photographs.

- Keep Any German court case has no relevance under Finnish law. If the German Wikipedia choses to exclude some images which a German judge claims is not free in Germany, then so be it. Germany may interpret laws like it sees fit. Finland has the same right, and so has the United Kingdom, Italy or any other member of the European Union. What if Iran or Sudan outlaws all images tomorrow? Or the Islamic courts in Somalia? I believe French law outlaws images of a lot of buildings. Ok, does that mean that we should remove all images of buildings because of this French law? Why not all images, just in case somewhere implements shari'a law tomorrow? Any such attitude is only counter-productive. Should any Finnish judge overturn an existing law or demand it interpreted in a new way; then we'll have a new situation. However, no proof has been presented that this should be the case, so let us take Finnish law at face value instead of trying to rival professional international lawyers. I see no strong evidence presented to suggest that Finnish copyright experts don't know what they are talking about, and unless such is established, I place my trust in the Finnish experts. They know their own language, so they can read the law, and they no doubt have more insight in Finnish legal traditions than most of us. Valentinian (talk) 21:58, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. This is a country-specific template (Finland), used for photos taken in Finland by Finns. EU laws are irrelevant, because only some of the Wikimedia-projects are EU-related (edited by EU citizens, written in European languages etc.).

With the risk of being reverted, I will close this debate as a keep. During the months since it was opened, I have been waiting for comments from representatives from other larger Wikipedia projects, such as the Spanish, Portugese, and others. As there are no comments from users from such countries, it appears that only users from German Wikipedia want this template deleted, leading it to appear that it should be deleted only because they can't be hosted on German Wikipedia. That must be inappropriate.
Since it wasn't deleted, you may, if you want to, add a warning to the template saying that the images can't be hosted on German Wikipedia.
Fred Chess 02:02, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
I reopened the deletion request, since this is by no means a Problem of Germany only. As Lupo has nicely listed on User:Lupo/Simple_Photographs, most EU countries do not even make a distinction between simple photographs and photographic works. Thus, such photos will be protected at least in the countries listed as "Normal copyright rules apply", as rule of the shorter term doesn't apply within the EU (see also w:Directive on harmonising the term of copyright protection#Copyright restoration). For the remaining countries where it is not the case that "Normal copyright rules apply": We have court decisions refering to an EU-wide, uniform demarcation not only in Germany, but also in Austria. I do not see any indication for why it wouldn't apply to other countries, uniformly, too. --rtc 19:13, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

- Keep As this senseless discussion has apparently started and will not be ended immediately, as it rightly should be, I will reiterate my position: The copyright harmonization directive rtc brings out does not apply to the photos considered here. This template considers photos which are not "author's own intellectual creation[[s]] reflecting his personality", so they are covered by a related right, not copyright. (In Finnish law, this related right is equated with copyright but has a different term.) The German courts demarcate the level of intellectual creation differently from Finland and there is no Union-level jurisprudence. The views of German or Austrian courts do not bind Finnish courts or the courts of European Union. The final say on whether Finnish Copyright law provides photos with the protection required by the Copyright directive rests with the Court of European Communities. Before that court issues judgement, nobody knows. However, we should not be overcautious. --MPorciusCato 13:02, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- You may be right (though I don't think so). Yet, as Lupo has nicely listed on User:Lupo/Simple_Photographs, most EU countries do not even make a distinction between simple photographs and photographic works.

Before you claim otherwise, why don't you read some literature on Finnish copright.

- Incorrect. "Normal copyright rules apply" means for most countries that "probably threshold of originality applies". Thuresson 18:43, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- And the implmentation of the EU directive has set the uniform demarcation for threshold of originality such that originality is sufficient as soon as the photographer expresses his personality, for example by choosing the camera position and by choosing the moment of pressing the button deliberately. Only technical photos (mugshots), satellite photos and photos shot accidentally fall below this threshold. --rtc 19:32, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- Not only do you contradict yourself in your two previous comments ("all photographs are works" vs. "technical photos are not works"), you also set condition (camera position, pressing moment) which are not from the directive on which you build your case. Samulili 19:38, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, "all photographs are works" was wrong, I checked it again. You were right about that. The condition is well from the directive: "it is necessary to define the level of originality required in this Directive; whereas a photographic work within the meaning of the Berne Convention is to be considered original if it is the author's own intellectual creation reflecting his personality, no other criteria such as merit or purpose being taken into account; whereas the protection of other photographs should be left to national law;"[23] emphasized by me, "2. Das Berufungsgericht hat es abgelehnt, einen Urheberrechtsschutz der Anzeigen aus den verwendeten Fotos herzuleiten. Es ist dabei davon ausgegangen, daß den Fotos urheberrechtlicher Schutz als Lichtbildwerken im Sinne des § 2 Abs. 1 Nr. 5 UrhG nur zukommen könne, wenn sie eine eigenschöpferische Prägung und Gestaltung aufwiesen. Bei einem Gesamtvergleich mit den vorbestehenden Gestaltungen müßten sich schöpferische Eigentümlichkeiten ergeben, die über das Handwerksmäßige und Durchschnittliche deutlich hinausragten. In den Fotos offenbare sich jedoch kein besonderes fotografisches Können. Bei dieser Beurteilung ist das Berufungsgericht von Anforderungen an die Schutzfähigkeit von Fotografien ausgegangen, die jedenfalls seit dem 1. Juli 1995 nicht mehr gelten, d.h. dem Zeitpunkt, in dem die Richtlinie 93/98/EWG des Rates zur Harmonisierung der Schutzdauer des Urheberrechts und bestimmter verwandter Schutzrechte vom 29. Oktober 1993 (ABl. Nr. L 290/9) nach ihrem Art. 13 Abs. 1 umzusetzen war und auch durch das Dritte Gesetz zur Änderung des Urheberrechtsgesetzes vom 23. Juni 1995 (BGBl. I S. 842) umgesetzt worden ist (Art. 3 Abs. 2 des 3. UrhG-ÄndG). Nach Art. 6 der Richtlinie sollen Fotografien geschützt werden, wenn sie individuelle Werke in dem Sinne darstellen, daß sie das Ergebnis der eigenen geistigen Schöpfung ihres Urhebers sind (vgl. dazu auch Erwägungsgrund 17 der Richtlinie). Eines besonderen Maßes an schöpferischer Gestaltung bedarf es danach für den Schutz als Lichtbildwerk nicht (vgl. Schricker/Loewenheim, Urheberrecht, 2. Aufl., § 2 Rdn. 33, 179; Schricker/Vogel aaO § 72 Rdn. 21; Nordemann/Vinck in Fromm/Nordemann, Urheberrecht, 9.

Nordemann/Mielke, ZUM 1996, 214, 216)."[24] (emphasized by me), "Fromm/Nordemann (Urheberrecht 9 § 2 dUrhG Rz 74; ihm folgend Ciresa, Österreichisches Urheberrecht, § 3 Rz 7) halten nach Umsetzung der Schutzdauer-RL [that means 93/98/EWG (rtc)] als Lichtbildwerke alle Fotos für geschützt, die einem bestimmten Fotografen in dem Sinne persönlich zugerechnet werden können, dass sich sagen lässt, ein anderer Fotograf hätte möglicherweise das Foto anders gestaltet, also den Blickwinkel, den Ausschnitt oder die Beleuchtung anders gewählt, einen anderen Geschehensmoment festgehalten, die abgebildeten Personen anders gruppiert usw (zu den einzelnen Gestaltungsmitteln einer Fotografie im Detail siehe Nordemann, Die künstlerische Fotografie als urheberrechtlich geschütztes Werk 135 ff). Nach Fromm/Nordemann (aaO) werde sich das auch für Amateurfotos und Schnappschüsse fast stets feststellen lassen. Für den einfachen Lichtbildschutz verblieben demnach (von Zufallsfotos infolge eines versehentlichen Auslösens der Kamera abgesehen) nur technische Fotos, bei denen jeder Fotograf mit denselben Fähigkeiten und Kenntnissen dasselbe Ergebnis, nämlich eine technisch einwandfreie Wiedergabe, erzielen müsse (also etwa Reproduktionen von Gemälden, Fotos von Maschinen, Fotos für die Verbrecherkartei, kartografische Luftaufnahmen und - im Regelfall - Passbilder aus Fotoautomaten)."[25] (emphasized by me). --rtc 19:59, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Courts, experts, copyright offices have a very hard time to see that, even in Germany, and you see many mistaken incorrect claims, based on the old understanding fo the law from the time before the directive. Many have not yet noticed that something was changed substantially. But the Federal Court of Justice of Germany and several Austrian courts eventually made very clear and unambiguous statements about this EU-wide unified demarcation. See my post above. Please do not ignore the facts and please do not believe some minor courts, copyright experts or copyright offices that are still speading false pre-directive information because of unawareness of the EU directive's effect. Please point any copyright expert, any copyright office and anyone else who still holds the incorrect old position in some EU country to the ruling of the Federal Court of Justice of Germany and the Austrian OGH and point out to them the general applicability of the reasoning of this ruling to all of Europe. --rtc 01:18, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- Basically, you have a stricter interpretetation of the threshold of originality than the rest of us. The German courts agree with you. Finnish law does not, so you are claiming that the Finnish law violates the Union directive. However, the German rulings do not have any effect on Union law. Only the rulings of the Court of European Communities are Union-level prejudicates. In fact, in the Finnish law, a foreign judgement on a related case is considered only tertiary source of law (acts, Union regulations, decrees and custom of the country are primary sources, directives, prejudicates and legislative documents secondary). As such, a German court opinion is at par with Finnish legal literature and can be only used as help on reasoning (see fi:oikeuslähde). Forcing German rulings on the whole Union is not acceptable. --MPorciusCato 05:39, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- This is not a German ruling forced on the Union, it is a EU directive. What I say is not "a interpretation" of threshold of originality, it is the actual threshold of originality for all EU countries. I am not claiming that the Finnish law violates the Union directive. The Finnish law is completely correct, and it is the same about threshold of originality as Germany or any other EU country. If the Finnish legal literature is still based on Pre-Directive-Opinions, please contact the respective authors immediately and point out to them their mistake. --rtc 19:57, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

- Could you please give me an extract from the directive saying what exactly is the threshold of originality according to this directive? I could find nothing about technical photos or like, at least from the Finnish translation. – Nysalor 20:57, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- "(17) Whereas the protection of photographs in the Member States is the subject of varying regimes; whereas in order to achieve a sufficient harmonization of the term of protection of photographic works, in particular of those which, due to their artistic or professional character, are of importance within the internal market, it is necessary to define the level of originality required in this Directive; whereas a photographic work within the meaning of the Berne Convention is to be considered original if it is the author's own intellectual creation reflecting his personality, no other criteria such as merit or purpose being taken into account; whereas the protection of other photographs should be left to national law;" (emphasized by me) Please see my posting 19:59, 7 May 2007 above for further discussion of the effect of this definition, as recognized by several european copyright scholars, and adopted by German and Austrian courts. Technical photography are not covered by the convention, but are "left to national law", and of course this tag is valid for technical photography. However, hardly any picture at all is technical photography, and, in fact, all photos tagged with this template are not technical in this sense. Technical photography is only given if the content, angle etc. of the photo is completely determined by the task, such that the photo is not "reflecting [the] personality" of the photographer anymore. Think of reproduction photography (this photos which would fall under Template:PD-Art in the US), think about mugshots, about satellite photos, about the usual case of photo booth photos. --rtc 21:17, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

- I think ”reflecting his personality” is a key for this case. The Finnish Copyright Council (Tekijänoikeusneuvosto) says that the photo Paavo Nurmi sytyttää olympiatulen 1952 “doesn’t especially express the original and personal contribution from the person taken the photograph, and thus it can not be considered a photographic work protected by TekijäL 1 §” [translated and emphasized by me]. On my opinion, it means about the same than “reflecting his personality”. The statement isn’t based on “other criteria such as merit or purpose”: The Finnish Copyright Council especially states that it’s just a photo regardless of the fact that it’s historically important and the only photo taken when Paavo Nurmi lit the Olympic Flame.
- By the way, can you find any personality or creativity from the photo? If I had been there in 1952, could I have taken a photo quite similar to that photo? Finally, I must say that my German is poor – maybe a bit better than your Finnish, though :) –, and I can’t read the German and Austrian texts you gave. – Nysalor 23:01, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- For "reflecting [the] personality" of the photographer or a photo being his "original and personal contribution", nothing is needed except that a different photographer could in principle have shot the photo differently, and that is well the case here. That is what the texts say about the EU directive, clearly and unambigously, and based on several law scholars. The copyright council is not aware of that and should be contacted immediately about it, pointing out the German and Austrian cases as soon as possible. Please do, since you are right that I can't write finnish. --rtc 00:48, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

- Every writing, drawing or photo made by a human being isn’t a work, that’s the Finnish point of view. As far as I know, “reflecting [the] personality” doesn’t mean ‘made by a human being’, it needs some personality in a photo. If the directive would really mean that every photo taken by a human being is a work, I think it would be mentioned clearly. In Germany and Austria, this may be understood in a other way than in Finland or in Sweden or Denmark, and you should accept this or give more convincing evidence. I rather trust the Finnish Copyright Council with excellent specialists than in the pseudonym Rtc or German texts I can’t understand – especially concerning the Finnish PD. – Nysalor 20:27, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- It is exactly the same in Germany as it is in Finland. Not every photo made by a human being is protected, only if a different photographer could in principle have shot the photo differently. This is not the opinion of a user with the pseudonym Rtc, but the result of research by reputable scholars of european law, which is completely correct, which the courts refer to, and who certainly have more background knowledge about the EU directive than the Finnish copyright council, which still bases its opinion on the situation before the directive and didn't notice something had changed. You can ignore the facts, but that won't change them. --rtc 21:43, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Those photos don’t “especially express the original and personal contribution”, and if other person took them in the same situation, they would be quite similar. Paavo Nurmi sytyttää olympiatulen 1952 don’t reflect the personality of the photographer. That’s what the FCC states, and there is no contradiction between this statement and the directive.

- The law in Finland is exactly the same as in Germany in that regard since the implementation of the EU directive. The Olympia photo well reflects the personality of the photographer according to the scholar's (Schricker, Loewenheim, Vogel, Nordemann, Vinck, Fromm, Hertin, Heitland, Platena, Mielke, Ciresa) results, the FCC simply is not aware of that and has not noticed yet the effet of the EU directive and the decisions.

- Please do not pretend like you know how Finnish copyright law says or how its interpretation has changed. You already made a fool of yourself in that way when you made bogus claims about old and new Swedish law. And yes, I will believe Finnish experts in the case of a Finnish picture and I don't give a flying about your Deutschland, Deutschland überalles attitude. Samulili 12:05, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- I do not need to know Finnish copyright law to know that they implemented the EU directive and thus the uniform EU demarcation for photographic works. I know of course how its interpretation has changed, because it has changed the same way as in German and any other EU country. You are making yourself a fool because you are ignoring these facts. And you are making yourself even more a fool by argumentation such as your last sentence. In fact, I am arguing pro Finland if I affirm that finnish photographers have the same rights as German ones. I guess if the finnish experts would be pointed out their error and directed at the BGH ruling, they would immediately acklowedge that what I say is true. Unfortunately I don't speak finnish. Perhaps you can write these experts an email. --rtc 19:57, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- You said, “even if the pictures were PD in Finland (which they are not)”. I would like to know some reasons why you think the pictures are not PD in Finland, based on the Finnish Law. The threshold of originality may be different in Finland compared to Germany or Austria, but there is no point in claiming that the German or Austrian one would surely be the interpretation of the whole EU. – Nysalor 20:57, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- Before the directive, the threshold of originality in Germany/Austria was the similar to what people here mistakenly claim still to be valid in Finland (basically, that artistic value or merit are necessary for protection as a photographic work). The court rulings argued explicitly that this has changed because of the implementation of the directive and its uniform demarcation criteria. There is no difference in theshold of originality for photos anymore within the EU, since the Directive explicitly required a uniform level to be implemented. Do you see my posting above with lots of text in bold letters, 19:59, 7 May 2007? Please read it. I do not wish to repeat myself again. --rtc 21:02, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

- Then the copyright council is wrong, and I guess that is so, because it does not yet know the German and Austrian court decisions and the research they are based on, and still bases its opinion on the pre-directive situation. We had that in Germany too, even by courts, until the federal court corrected them. Please write to the copyright council and point out their error to them as soon as possible, referring them to the rulings I cited. I think this is important so they can correct their error soon and noone gets successfully sued who based its decision on the copyright councils incorrect example. It would be a great loss of prestige for the council... --rtc 00:48, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- Why should we think that German and Austrian courts would be right and the Finnish Copyright Council wrong? The FCC has surely the best specialists of copyright in Finland. If you would like to contact the FCC, you can find their contact information here. I’m sure they understand English. – Nysalor 20:27, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- Because the German aud Austrian courts explicitly discuss the problem concerning the effect of the implementation of the EU directive, which the Finnish copyright council seems not to be aware of it at all. FCC has not more authority than any other person in the world, and is hence as fallible as anyone else. It is not an authority, it is merely an institution. I am sorry, I cannot speak Finnish, and I would need that to cite the correct places in their publications etc. I again beg you to do it. There is nothing to loose for you. Are you afraid of the truth? Why do you look away and close your eyes? Test your position for correctness and write them an email! If you are right, that shouldn't be a problem for you. --rtc 21:43, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- Please note that the German and Austrian courts only interpret what they think the directive means: there is no “only if a different photographer could in principle have shot the photo differently” in the directive. It’s just their opinion, if they think so which I don’t know for sure because of my bad German. “Are you afraid of the truth?” – I think I can ignore irrelevant questions like that. If you like, you can send an email to the FCC, but I’m not going to tell them what an anonymous (German?) person claims about the Finnish PD. If you can convince them, I will gladly change my opinion to delete. Meanwhile, I trust the FCC. – Nysalor 22:34, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- It is ridiculous to claim that the careful judgement of the German court, adopted several times by Austrian courts, and backed by reputable law scholars and real arguments, is "just their opinion". You know that I have no chance to do this given that all sources are in Finish. It is dishonest und irrational to deny your help to find out more about the issue; and it is a crime against reason and the autonomy of the individual to trust a state institution or any other alleged authority (be it scientific, religious or social) instead of questioning and criticizing the correctness of what it says. The question "Are you afraid of the truth" is a very relevant one. You do not refer to what I say, you can refer to the German and Austrian court decisions I cited above. --rtc 23:22, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- Only you tell me that the judgement of the German court is “careful”. Concerning the Finnish PD, I trust more in the Finnish copyright experts. I’m not a copyright expert, so I have to consult an institution, and the FCC looks like reliable, much more reliable than German statements I can’t read. In addition, the facts you have told me about the interpretation of personality by German and Austrian courts look like quite questionable and problematic. – Nysalor 00:53, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- In any matter of public concern, trust is a crime, and there is no such thing as "realibility" (or "authority", which is a different word for that). Please ask the FCC what they think about the issue. Even if you fallaciously trust in their erroneous statements, that does not imply that you must not make them aware of the German/Austrian court rulings. --rtc 01:47, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Reading this discussion which is on and on about the scope of photographic works and simple photographs respective ist very exhausting. Even if rtc is wrong we have a situation where pictures are free in some countries because they use a higher treshold of originality approach while the same pictures are not free in other jurisdictions because of a lower treshold of originality limit. We have to make a decision considering the concurring regulations. Usually we require a picture to be free in the country of origin and in the US.--Wiggum 13:40, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- That is crucial guideline we need to follow in this case also. We have a warning in the template to not use it in Germany already. I don't really see why this original research of an EU directive should be pushed here. But, if copyright paranoia wins in Commons, can those images be moved to Finnish or English Wikipedia, so the work that lasted for years won't be for nothing? As far as I remember, when the Italian template was removed, all the work was wasted, which these people seem to aim for. --Pudeo 14:37, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- That's what it says in the policies, yes. But we infact have an ongoing discussion regarding a) whether we actually follow that rule (as there are tens of approved templates that break it) and b) whether we ought to follow it. Samulili 13:16, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- I'm addressing Wiggum and Lupo. If the images must be public domain in the US, they should comply with certain formalities (such as being published with a copyright note). Except if the w:Uruguay Round Agreements Act applies, which it does if a works was still covered by copyright or neighbouring rights in its source country on January 1, 1996. However, it has effectively been proven in this discussion that a wide number of photographs are not subject to the pma 70 copyright, but to a 50 years after being created, whereafter they enter the public domain in its country of origin, Finland. So if an image was created before January 1, 1946, its copyright would have expired in Finland by January 1, 1996, and hence its copyright would never be restored in the US. / Fred Chess 15:41, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- It has not been proven that a wide number of photographs are not subject to the 70 pma copyright. The contrary is the case, as far as it seems, except a very narrow range of photos, every photo is now protected by 70 pma. --rtc 21:43, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment: Could we have an administrative decision on this matter? The discussion has died out and it is unlikely that any new points will be raised. In case that the template is deleted, could we have a grace-period of a couple of days to back up the images and their descriptions for use in Finland, where the use of these images is considered legal. In any case, I believe that Fi-Wikipedia will be using these images regardless of Commons decision, waiting for an order by the Foundation to remove the content. --MPorciusCato 09:36, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Now to my point, please do keep the template and files where it is correctly used. Speculation that the project may or not be harmed by keeping files under said license amounts to nothing but copyright hysteria from my point of view.

- Now, I understand the need to be careful in copyright issues. But the law is clear on this matter and in all other instances the use of Finnish photgraphy in the ways that the law allows is commonplace and indiscriminate. I do not see why Wikimedia should selfrestrict itself from a use that no other media worries about. Because of the fear that maybe someday thorugh some weird loophole in a foreign law someone might maybe consider Wikimedia to be infringing on copyrights? Well if that happens, let's take them away then. I suspect that it's never going to happen because in that case the use of these photos in all literature and other medias would instantly become such a huge problem that a law or a decree would be given to extend the right to use them again. Until such time we should be happy that the Finnish law allows the use of these photos and that, as any other media everywhere does, so can Wikimedia us them for its noble purposes. Please do not delete important historical pictures due to legalist hysteria that is not founded on any precedent in the case of these photos that are explicitely pronounced usable in the law. --Tungsten 08:26, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

- On the contrary, the image is used by a couple of user pages and its inclusion in the main en:AACS encryption key controversy article over on the English Wikipedia is currently in active dispute (see en:Talk:AACS encryption key controversy#Flag). It's also quite debatable whether this is a DMCA violation. See en:User talk:Jimbo Wales#Official Office/WMF response to HD-DVD key controversy where Jimbo states that there's no clear case to be made either way and that the Wikimedia Foundation has received no threats and takes no position at this time. Finally, the reason the file is titled "Free-speech-flag" is simply because that's what the original source file was titled. Bryan Derksen 00:07, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with Bryan Derksen's comments. —Lowellian (talk) 08:48, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Keep Oh come on, this is hilarious! These are just colours, it's not an explanation how to crack a HD-DVD! It is certainly NOT a DMCA violation, since we neither EXPLAIN HOW TO USE THE CODE to crack the technology, nor showing it on the picture. Wake up kids. BeŻet 09:53, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- On the contrary, BeZet it is explained how to get the key from the image on the en:AACS encryption key controversy page. And the key itself could be considered part of a circumvention device as defined by the DMCA, and thus illegal to possess or distribute in the USA. --65.31.193.187 13:42, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Well, the explanation may be removed and consequently the image is legal. It's like I told you how to extract those digits from the wikimedia commons logo by adding numbers to the ASCII values of the letters (
wikimediacommonsis 16 letters - 16 bytes - the length of the code;). Would the logo be illegal then? BeŻet 14:41, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Well, the explanation may be removed and consequently the image is legal. It's like I told you how to extract those digits from the wikimedia commons logo by adding numbers to the ASCII values of the letters (
- Keep This is absurd. If you delete that, then where do you stop? The number 9 could be considered forbidden, because its use "could be used to circumvent copyrights" as the number 9 is a part of the code. 70.63.55.18 16:23, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Keep If the tons of links that point to the exact code on other sites from wikiedia does not cause a problem then this won't. it's a flag. 99% of the population, myself included would have no idea how to extract anything usefull from this.. instead we would run a google search for one of the 300,000+ pages that have the code in plain text. 71.106.236.141

- Strong Keep. It's a work of art and a political protest all rolled into one. If you ask me, the guy should've released it under a non-commercial license and kept the commercial rights to his artwork. Selling fine-art prints would be a good way to raise funds for victims of wrongful DMCA lawsuits. Davidwr2 17:53, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, he still has commercial rights. BeŻet 18:15, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- It's my understanding he placed the work in the public domain. Nobody controls it. Sure, he could sell prints, but so can anyone else, reducing their value as a fund-raiser. Davidwr2 19:43, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Of course, I agree with you. However, on the other hand, claiming copyrights for the image would be controversial, don't you think? BeŻet 20:12, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

- If it were just a flag with vertical-striped colors, yes. The "+C0" in the lower-right shows some element of creativity, and a "free if you don't charge" license would probably be non-controversial. Davidwr2 22:36, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

- Speedy Keep. Don't be silly - David Gerard 21:05, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Strong and Speedy Keep. The image does not tell you how to crack the encryption, therefore it does not pose a credible legal risk to the foundation under the DMCA. Disavian 23:14, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

- Strong Keep Watching Penn and Teller its apparently legal for women to bear their breasts in the context of a protest and be protected by the 1st amendment even if it is illegal in any other context. This image is clearly a work of art directed at political protest for freedom of speech and should be granted the same 1st amendment rights as any other work of art. If Wikipedia doesnt take a stand right now then its credibility will further suffer.

- Striking them out is common sense, since you could be a sockpuppet of someone who has already voted and may not understand the copyright policies and principles behind the Wikimedia Commons. I suggest you register a new account if you would feel a need to vote (although this will probably be kept anyway) to aid in the infrastructure of the community. I have also noticed these are your first edits to the Wikimedia Commons. Perhaps you don't understand why this should or shouldn't be deleted. If it makes you happy I am speedy keeping this deletion request. Lcarsdata 08:58, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

He either travels constantly to see tournaments in both Europe and the U.S., gets to the same angles that the TV cameramen do, and takes cell-phone-camera-resolution pictures (with cell phones and cameras being banned at golf tournaments), or ... these are TV snapshots.

- It looks like even if it's PD in Russia, it's not in the U.S., because the critical date for that would be 1946 (must have been PD in Russia by 1996). Since our servers are in the U.S., we usually require that works be PD in both their country of origin and in the U.S., which this work, being from 1947, fails.

- Keep If this is picture is deleted, then by the same logic we should delete all photos taken by anyone during a concert. To Trixt: the prop is a copyrighted (industrial) work, but this is not the prop — it is a photo of the prop. The Chrysler Building is a copyrighted (architectural) work and the iMac is a copyrighted (industrial) work, but if you take a photo of either of them you are free to distribute it any way you like.

The map is self-made and is not in keeping with the best sources cited in the article in which it is used: British Mandate for Palestine -- 84.13.82.250 09:18, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- Note: a higher resolution exists at Image:BritishMandatePalestine1920.png Michelet-密是力 06:21, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- KEEP -- "Self-made" is actually good, because that means it's not a copyright violation (though it would be even better if it were of higher-quality, and not so pixellated, of course). Furthermore, it seems to be a reasonably-accurate depiction of the boundaries of the British Mandate of Palestine during the years 1920-1923. The author of this image seems to be pro-Israeli, but pretty much the same map is found on the pro-Palestinian site PASSIA.org at http://www.passia.org/palestine_facts/MAPS/1923-1948-british-mandate.html , so the basic geographical facts do not appear to be in dispute between the opposing sides. AnonMoos 14:12, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- There's no basis for discounting all of the reliable sources used in the article. These indicate that "Palestine" could not have had these borders in 1920. --Ian Pitchford 19:42, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- About passia's map. The big and major difference is the fact that the land is partitionned into Palestine and Transjordan, which is not properly shown on the map here above...Ceedjee 12:03, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- That’s false. The word Palestine is not associated with a divided portion of a partitioned land mass on passia's map. Take another look at their map. Their use of the word Palestine is associated with only one land mass on the map, and that land mass is identical to the map you want to delete. There is no difference between theirs and mine, except I’m just showing the San Remo Conference as of 1920, not the history from 1923-1948. And, I use substantially the same description of that area in my caption as they do in theirs. The only other place they use the word Palestine is in the title that references 1923-1948. Yet, the map you want to delete is San Remo 1920. You really have to keep your dates straight, you seem very confused. -Doright 23:12, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- This difference is a crucial one- no such partition into Palestine and Transjordan existed in 1920, which is why the Passia map is inaccurate. 208.246.79.241 18:59, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- In 1920, there was no British Mandate on Palestine. The British Mandate existed from 1922 to 1948 and both "countries" were together a few months only. See more details on the talk page of en:British Mandate of Palestine. Ceedjee 19:40, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

- DELETE. This is not here a problem of copyrights but a problem of accuracy. This "map" is not true because this territory is not the territory assigned to a Jewish state in 1920. This view of matters was defended by Irgoun and revisionist Zionists who claimed that. And let's not even talk about the comments... (see [28] for details) and compare with this version which is nicer and more neutral : Image:BritishMandatePalestine1920.jpg Ceedjee 11:56, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- KEEP -- The source for this map and language comes from published and highly credible WP:RS sources plus both major opposing POV's including the pro-Palestinian Passia and the Israeli MFA.
- the WP:RS source: Page 8 of Sir Martin Gilbert's "Atlas of the Arab-Israeli Conflict, 7th edition," (ISBN: 0415281172) published by Routledge in 2002 and page 10 of the First American Edition of the same book published by Macmillian 1975 (ISBN: 0-02-543370-9) shows this area as
"The Palestine Mandate, granted to Britain at the San Remo Conference in 1920, as the region of a Jewish Nation home," [29]
- the WP:RS source: National Public Radio (NPR online) that captions the identical area as
"The original Mandate granted to Britain." [30]
- the WP:RS source: Page 8 of Sir Martin Gilbert's "Atlas of the Arab-Israeli Conflict, 7th edition," (ISBN: 0415281172) published by Routledge in 2002 and page 10 of the First American Edition of the same book published by Macmillian 1975 (ISBN: 0-02-543370-9) shows this area as
- Palestinian Academic Society for the Study of International Affairs http://www.passia.org/palestine_facts/MAPS/1923-1948-british-mandate.html ,
"The Palestine Mandate, granted to Britain at the San Remo Conference in 1920, as the region of a Jewish Nation home"
- the Israeli government source [31]
"Area Allocated for Jewish National Home San Remo Conference 1920."
- In any case, there is no excuse for deleting this WP:RS map just because you are afraid it might be used in an article that does not exclusively conform to your POV. This nomination for deletion is a violation of WP:Point and is an attempt to preempt the discussion on the relevant talk page. [32]-Doright 22:01, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. On grounds of quality alone; the image is horribly pixelated and very poor quality. It should also not have an embedded caption, as this effectively confines its use to the English Wikipedia. -- ChrisO 01:18, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- That's a pretty transparent and weak excuse for deleting valuable and well sourced content. It not just the caption, All the areas of the map are in English. According to your "logic," they should not be there either because it limits it use to English Wikipedia. Quite an odd map that has no information, titles or labels. Don't ya think? Um, what language should the map be in? Regarding the quality, perhaps if you were not wasting my time here, I might consider producing a higher quality, less pixelated image, if you asked nicely. By the way, at its intended display size, it does not appear pixelated. [33] -Doright 06:43, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- COMMENT -- I don't think it's the role of Wikimedia Commons to take sides in legitimate disputes about facts or the interpretations of facts. If an image is obviously blatantly glaringly incorrect, or if it's being used with a malicious intention of deliberately spreading falsehoods, then it can be deleted of course -- but if there's a legitimate controversy about something, then there's nothing wrong with allowing images representing both sides of the dispute to be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, whereupon the individual language Wikipedias will make their own decisions about which images will actually be used in articles. It's not our role here at Commons to make those decisions for them. AnonMoos 13:57, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- KEEP Per AnonMoos and Doright. The map is historically accurate as per voluminous sources. See, e.g., an anything by pro-Zionist source [34]: "....This strategic thinking was confirmed by Winston Churchill at the Cairo conference on Middle Eastern policy held in 1921. Britain subdivided the Palestine Mandate along the Jordan River to Gulf of Aqaba line. The eastern portion, called Transjordan, was to have a separate Arab administration operating under the general supervision of the commissioner for Palestine and with Jewish immigration specifically avoided. The League of Nations agreed and confirmed the borders of this mandate the following year. Not for the first time, a state had been created for the express strategic convenience of the British."--Mantanmoreland 16:01, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

While at the same time you support a brand new IP editor's nomination for image deletion, despite the fact that this nomination has been their entire contribution to commons. Special:Contributions/84.13.82.250 -Doright 17:12, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
See the administrator's comment here[36] in the Administrators Noticeboard. Note in particular his comment that this is not a "vote" and that the quality of arguments is what matters not length of time on Commons, and also that the number of "votes" is immaterial. Insofar as thie image is concerned, there is no question that the map is historically correct, and that is all that matters.--Mantanmoreland 19:22, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- DELETE The caption text is a deliberate distorsion of historic sources. So the creator made clearly this poor quality image for propaganda. On 2006, I found in Commons a Gibraltar map which showed the Rock as a Spanish territory (and it was used in numberous wikis instead of the normal map!). We must be watchful to such propaganda. --Juiced lemon 14:18, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- If what you say is true, how do you explain the fact that published and highly credible WP:RS sources (cited above) plus both major opposing POV's including the pro-Palestinian Passia and the Israeli MFA publish the same map and captions found on this map? -Doright 16:32, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

- Delete - we don't need lower resolution\bad quality dupes. We already have a better quality map as a PNG, which is the preferred format for these types of files. People here should note that the closing administrator will choose to keep or delete not based on how many votes you were able to stack for whichever side. In addition, the caption text is wrong\POV and should be deleted for that reason alone. The map is of the en:British Mandate of Palestine not of the area designated as a national home for the Jewish people in the State of Israel (as designated by the en:Balfour Declaration in 1917). Yonatan talk 03:20, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- You call it a "dupe" and then point out some of the differences that in fact makes it not a dupe. The obvious fact is that if it were a "dupe," there would be no controversy. You then claim that the map is "wrong\POV." Yet, I have provided links to maps from both major points of view, plus two reliable and independent sources [37] that are all virtually identical to the features contained in this map. You, on the other hand make bold assertions supported by nothing more than your opinion/POV. And, the map that you prefer has not a single source identified in support of its accuracy. -Doright 04:36, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- You aren't addressing any of my points which don't suit you. For example, the caption is completely wrong. The map itself is very similar, if not an exact duplicate (I haven't exactly checked), of the PNG version, which is a preferred file format, is better quality and generally looks better. Commons doesn't have a policy of reliable sourcing, we tend to use common sense, and your POV caption violates it. Editors from both sides of the political spectrum have voted for this map's deletion (ChrisO and I) so something's gotta be wrong with it. Yonatan talk 05:51, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- I have addressed your points. In fact I have refuted them and will do so one last time. You claim your "common sense," trumps the cited references, including noted historians, e.g., Winston Churchill's official biographer (Sir Martin Gilbert), National Public Radio (NPR online), the official State of Israel website and the pro Palestinian, Palestinian Academic Society for the Study of International Affairs website. Well, how can I "address" your points when both reason and evidence are refuted by mere bias and unsubstantiated claims of superior knowledge? Against all of them, you on the other hand claim to be in possession of "common sense." Second, The simple and obvious fact is that it is not a dupe and that's why you insist on deleting it. It presents information you do not want others to see. Therefore it should not be deleted. If others create a better quality image in a better format that contains the identical information boundaries and caption, that's great. But, you do not delete information and maps from commons when it results in loss of information resource to the community. -Doright 06:33, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Please, you are totally misjudging what I mean by comments, which is unfortunately something that's common online due to the fact that you cannot hear the tone of voice of the person you're speaking with. You are being a little too combative for my taste, so please, remember, we aren't enemies. I wouldn't have much of a problem (although I still probably wouldn't like us to keep the image, due to the other reasons I have stated above) with this picture if it weren't for the biased caption. Please show me a reliable source supporting that caption in some way. For obvious reasons I studied all about this region, this specific part of history and the Balfour Declaration, in which the national home for the Jewish people isn't defined as the whole British Mandate of Palestine but it rather states, a national home for the Jewish people in the land of Palestine. Yonatan talk 06:48, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- "Original British Mandate for Palestine" would certainly be accurate. Why not just make it that? Would that satisfy your objection? I can't see any other possible issue with the map.--Mantanmoreland 13:35, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

You ask me to "Please show [you] a reliable source supporting that caption in some way." Perhaps you have not noticed the reliable sources I have already provided above and on the image source description that not only support the caption, but use the identical words.

- I withdraw my previous suggestion on the caption. The caption as it stands now is accurate.--Mantanmoreland 20:36, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Okay. Your sources do mention region of a Jewish National Home. You, however, decide to restate this, calling it a region for a Jewish National Home, a statement which does not bear the same meaning and no, I don't think it's good to rely on the Israeli government source for this (it's the only source that uses the word for as opposed to of). I also don't think a caption should be included as part of the image. If someone wishes, they can and are welcome to add this caption manually where it's being used but adding the caption in English prevents the proper use of this map in other Wikipedias. In addition to that, the drawing of the bodies of water (Sea of Galilee, the Jordan River and the Dead Sea) is largely inaccurate. This is, of course, beside the fact that the map isn't of good quality (and the choice of colors is pretty bad as well), and for some reason only mentions certain cities such as Quneitra and Gaza, while Jerusalem, for example, which is probably the most notable city in the region, isn't mentioned. Also, no differentiation is made between the Emirate of Transjordan and Palestine, which would be fine in and of itself (as well as the quality and color issue) but when there's a better alternative, we shouldn't have people using this inaccurate\POV map whose author has made some odd choices, IMHO. For these reasons, this map should be Deleted. Yonatan talk 17:05, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Deleted as a better image is available: Image:BritishMandatePalestine1920.png. I am not certain what the reason for this heated debate is. This is a routine deletion. -- Cat chi? 17:21, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Too bad the discussion was closed within 6 minutes of Yonatanh's reply without giving us the opportunity to complete the discussion. For example, he complains:
"Your sources do mention region of a Jewish National Home. You, however, decide to restate this, calling it a region for a Jewish National Home, a statement which does not bear the same meaning. "
It doesn't? Then Yonatanh goes on to, in my view absurdly, highlight the major distinction between "of" versus "for." If he would have bothered to look at even the first sentence of the Mandate for Palestine article, he would have read that "of" and "for" are used interchangeably. For goodness sakes the first sentence of the article says, "The Mandate for Palestine, also known as the Mandate of Palestine ... Then he complains there should be no caption. I must question how the value of a map is improved by insisting on deleting its legend. In fact, cartography 101 suggests a map without a legend is less than useless. But to pile it even higher, he then anachronistically attempts to engage in historical revisionism by ignoring the very caption he wants deleted. He complains, "no differentiation is made between the Emirate of Transjordan and Palestine". Well, Yonatanh, Emirate of Transjordan did not yet exist as of the date of the San Remo conference. And, anyone that read the legend (caption), that Yonatanh wants to delete, and is familiar with the subject and not attempting to revise history would know that. And, no there isn't a reliance on Israeli government as a source for this. Reliance is made on, Sir Martin Gilbert's "Atlas of the Arab-Israeli Conflict, 7th edition," (ISBN: 0415281172) published by Routledge in 2002 and page 10 of the First American Edition of the same book published by Macmillian 1975 (ISBN: 0-02-543370-9) shows this area as
"The Palestine Mandate, granted to Britain at the San Remo Conference in 1920, as the region of a Jewish Nation home," [41]
The only purpose for citing the Israeli government source, along with the Palestinian POV source, was to demonstrate that even these opposing parties do not dispute this fact. Quneitra and Gaza are shown because they help identify the boundaries for the highlighted area. Quneitra is outside and Gaza is inside. Jerusalem being in the middle of the map is not relevant for this purpose, although I understand that it is important to POV's such as Yonatanh's. He also complains about the accuracy of the Sea of Galilee, the Jordan River and the Dead Sea. I agree the shorelines of these can be improved. However, I would point out that they do exist in the locations shown on the map. Yet, Yonatanh, prefers to use the other map that goes so far as to put non-existing POV bodies of water on their map (e.g., they admit that they added to the map, "Lake Houla, which existed at the time but was later dried up by Israel." [42] Although the lake is found on biblical era maps, by 1920 (the date of this map) so called Lake Houla was more of a swamplands that are now fertile land. Maybe this is why they had to add this lake to their map. Finally, this leave standing only Yonatanh objection that apparently his prefered map is better "quality" and better "choice of colors." Personally, I indifferent with respect to the color differences between the maps, but this can't be a serious reason for deletion, yet I do agree resolution of the map can be improved. However I must wonder if that is considered a valid reason for deleting what is currently a unique map from commons?
In any case, is it customary to give a reason for the deletion? Or are we just left to guess? -Doright 00:53, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- "Deleted as a better image is available: Image:BritishMandatePalestine1920.png. I am not certain what the reason for this heated debate is. This is a routine deletion. -- Cat chi? 17:21, 12 May 2007 (UTC)"
- You are not addressing my points at all. The words of and for can be used interchangeably in the context of the Mandate of Palestine and the Mandate for Palestine (although the latter doesn't sound very good grammatically, IMHO). There's a distinct difference between the "region of a Jewish National Home" (ie. the whole region is designated for a Jewish National Home) and the "region for a Jewish National Home" (ie. a Jewish National Home would be in this region). If there's no difference between them, why didn't you change the caption instead of arguing profusely? The outlining of the different bodies of water is extremely inaccurate. There's another map that already does this stuff accurately (and again, there's no need for a caption) and is generally better so there's no reason to keep this map. Regarding Lake Houla, as you say, it existed at the time and therefore should be included in a map of the region at that time. Yonatan talk 16:40, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

the sisteen chapel is a 3D work of art and therefore doesn't fall under bridgeman vs. corel -- Yonatan talk 14:51, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

- Keep Unlike with a sculpture, this seems very unlikely to be judged copyrightable, since there's not really any angle selection or other decision to make: It's a perfectly flat-on view. --Delirium 02:40, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep That a painting is completed on a surface that is curved or that itself composes part of a structure does not render such painting, or a part thereof, a sculpture or other three-dimensional work the taking of an image of which might require Bridgeman’s
skill or expertisecreativity(correcting my editing error) and produce an original work, and the fresco here most especially should not be understood as part of any such structure because, as this broader image well illustrates, it comprises, as any other two-dimensional painting, but one flat wall; Delirium's analysis, then, is, I think, quite right. Jahiegel 06:06, 9 May 2007 (UTC)- Bridgeman says that no matter how much skill and expertise are needed to reproduce a 2D work of art, that is not an argument for copyrightability. So skill and expertise are exactly not the criteria to be taken into account. Creativity is the criterion, and creativity is given if the photographer has a choice in camera position etc. --rtc 22:47, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- Suffice it to say that it was not a deficiency in my understanding—I did mean to convey my belief that no creativity is required or present here (hence my original work formulation and my referencing the facts underlying Delirium's {{Vk}})—but, instead, in my typing; I had this DR and several related images open in tabs at once, and I ultimately excised from my exceedingly long comment the provision that the taking of an image such as this, in view of the location, etc., might require much skill and expertise, it would not entail any creativity, but I rather failed to preview/pay any attention at all. Apologies. Jahiegel 07:54, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

- Keep The stated argument is flawed: The Sistine Chapel is not the work represented here, it is the painting by Michelangelo. Simply because it is painted on a curved surface does not make the painting itself 3-D. It is a two-dimensional painting. Similarly, if one unframed the Mona Lisa and placed the canvas against a concave backing, would it too then become un-reproduceable? Also, the original complaint misspells "Sistine," which undermines credibility.

No it should not be deleted, as it is being used for informative purposes only. If copyright infringements are being feared then the scanners and cameras should be banned because many people can scan both sides of any currency note and after printing they can use the same. THOUGHT (June 19, 2007, 12:51 PST)
Nonsense. The images of coins and paper money are all over the Internet. The coin publications freely print pictures of coins, etc. from around the world. I should know especially about Israeli currency since I am President of the American Israel Numismatic Association. There is no need to remove this image. (July 2, 2007)

- Whoops, I meant here. It was en:Horace de Vere Cole (died 1936) who sent the photo to the newspaper, but it's not mentioned on the web page who actually took it. This page has a thumbnail of a similar but slightly different photo; there must have been a series taken (apparently from the cover of this Spanish book; maybe that has more info). Maybe an admin could see if there was any further info on the original wiki page that has since been deleted. According to this page, Cole is the person on the far right in the photo. He presumably did have the photo commissioned... if he is the owner, then it would be PD-Old. If the author was not mentioned when it was published in the newspaper, then PD-UK-unknown would apply I would think. Carl Lindberg 14:30, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit]Reasons for deletion request /Wegge 18:27, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
For being a busybody that have lost focus of what commons was created to be, ie. a service to all wikimedia projects, and instead going ahead on (his/her) own campaing for deleting anything in sight, I nominate User:Rtc for deletion. Whereas I have no illusion that this proposal will have better survival prospects than a chocolate kettle, I still want to make a stand here. In my opinion the rest of the commons users have been neglect of the signs of deletitis for too long.
Go ahead and block me, just to prove my point.
Comment His rampage against a huge bunch of license templates surely made him loose a great deal of points in my book. Seemed more like a personal vandetta than anything else. --|EPO| 18:41, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete All of the photos from Category:Folketinget.dk will have to be uploadet on the english and dansih Wikipedia instead.

- The artwork itself is public domain per the death of the creator being more than 50 years ago. This seemed fairly clear from the 1910 creation date, which I had added to the description precisely to address a potential deletion request. [51] - BanyanTree 12:58, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- Eh, what's got 50 years to do with it? We generally apply 70 years p.m.a.
The U.S. has never had a 50-year copyright term.(Rubbish. Of course they did, from 1978 - 1998 for works published 1978 or later. But that's of no use to us, as no such 50-year p.m.a. copyright expired in that time, before the extension to 70 years. Lupo 21:03, 10 May 2007 (UTC)) It may be though that the sculpture is indeed PD-US, or PD-US-not renewed. But it's still copyrighted in Germany until the end of 2008 (Schott was a German...) Lupo 14:09, 8 May 2007 (UTC)- Untangling my thoughts: I uploaded the picture thinking of w:Template:PD-old-50, which states that works created in the U.S. prior to 1923 etc etc. Schott created the work in Germany and and it was then sold to a U.S. family, so that's clearly flawed reasoning. Delete, and apologies for the mess. - BanyanTree 22:56, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

This was tagged for speedy deletion, but I am posting this here because it looks like there is conflicting information on the Flickr source page.[52] On the one hand, it is marked with the "All Rights Reserved" license there. On the other hand, the caption there reads, "I provided this picture to Wikipedia , so you can use this under the GPL licene. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Wfm_x51_area51_warningsign.jpg" I noticed that the page history of this page does originally mark it as GFDL.[53] Thanks. --Zzyzx11 02:58, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

- Keep The uploader appears to be from France, thus the copyright law which appears to apply is "if the work is anonymous, pseudonymous or collective, [duration of copyright] is 70 years following the publication of the work (unless the authors named themselves)" plus "about 8.5 years for WW2" per Commons:Licensing#France, so about 78.5 years. 78.5 years ago was 9 November 1928.

Unfortunately, the threshold of originality is extremely low in Austria. Basically all images are works, and thus protected for 70 years p.m.a. This image from 1938 cannot possibly fit that criterion.

- Delete But by no means this applies only to Austria. The threshold of originality is the same all over europe. "Fromm/Nordemann (Urheberrecht 9 § 2 dUrhG Rz 74; ihm folgend Ciresa, Österreichisches Urheberrecht, § 3 Rz 7) halten nach Umsetzung der Schutzdauer-RL [93/98/EWG] als Lichtbildwerke alle Fotos für geschützt, die einem bestimmten Fotografen in dem Sinne persönlich zugerechnet werden können, dass sich sagen lässt, ein anderer Fotograf hätte möglicherweise das Foto anders gestaltet, also den Blickwinkel, den Ausschnitt oder die Beleuchtung anders gewählt, einen anderen Geschehensmoment festgehalten, die abgebildeten Personen anders gruppiert usw (zu den einzelnen Gestaltungsmitteln einer Fotografie im Detail siehe Nordemann, Die künstlerische Fotografie als urheberrechtlich geschütztes Werk 135 ff). Nach Fromm/Nordemann (aaO) werde sich das auch für Amateurfotos und Schnappschüsse fast stets feststellen lassen. Für den einfachen Lichtbildschutz verblieben demnach (von Zufallsfotos infolge eines versehentlichen Auslösens der Kamera abgesehen) nur technische Fotos, bei denen jeder Fotograf mit denselben Fähigkeiten und Kenntnissen dasselbe Ergebnis, nämlich eine technisch einwandfreie Wiedergabe, erzielen müsse (also etwa Reproduktionen von Gemälden, Fotos von Maschinen, Fotos für die Verbrecherkartei, kartografische Luftaufnahmen und - im Regelfall - Passbilder aus Fotoautomaten)."Eurobike This clearly refers to the low threshold of originality as an effect of the implementation of the EU directive, not as something that is peculiar about Austrian law. --rtc 22:24, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

- They are identical, I uploaded both images myself. The .png image is the duplicate and the .PNG image is the original. The changes I made to the image were to add the South African provinces and to add the lakes etc. For some reason the preview image on the .PNG article still shows the older version (some kind of glitch in wikipedia), however if you click on the full resolution of that image you can see the lakes etc.

Henri Berssenbrugge died in 1959 --Polarlys 14:43, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- That's different licence, not {{PD-old}}, so the date of death has nothing to do with that. The important thing is permission. That's what I understood: photo is from the collection of Jan Weijers. As it's often with personal photos taken in atelier, photographer releases rights to the object. In this case object is not alive anymore. So if the owner of the photo permited to put the photo with such licence we shouldn't discuss it. Photo existed with that licence on nlWiki, so I hope everything is allright.

I use mayflower already to find what I need..did you hear about the something they call 'usability'? the category pd-self is somehow dysfunctional without splitting it to children...just don't vandalize what I'm doing.. all right?--Alnokta 09:43, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- Please coooperate then. Put somewhere at Commons:Community Portal your idea of splitting copyright categories in subcategories per subject. Then Commons users would discuss if they are useful or not. More of your time would be wasted, if your idea is not accepted and *-automobiles tag: reverted. I'm not going to "waste your time" anyway.

- Keep I'm not sure which of the deletion criteria is being applied here. Of the ones listed, the only semi-relevant one is Redundant/bad quality, but so far as I can tell, that only applies if there are alternative free images already uploaded. Other than Image:Diamond Rio USAF 2.jpg (which has the same problems as this one), there don't seem to be any other images of the group on Commons. If you find/take a better freely-licensed image and upload it, then yeah, I'd probably support deletion. But so far as I can tell, these two images are the only freely licensed photographs of the group on the Web. Even a bad image is preferable to none. GeeJo (t)⁄(c) • 08:18, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

In such cases, I make that clear in the nomination statements and typically do not add {{subst:vd}}. Also, when the time comes that an admin processes the nomination, he or she can see at the first glance that at least one person was in favor of deletion. Furthermore, it's not a vote, it's an expression of opinion. We don't vote here.

1) Typo in title. 2) If this page is going to stay, it should be called "Blurs" or something similar, whether it is beautiful is in the eye of the beholder. 3) Should this perhaps be moved to userspace as three of the pics are by creator of page. 4) There might be a point to having perhaps a category of blurry pictures so the useless can be rooted out and the useful ones kept, it sitting under "photography" cat? Don't know if this discussion has been had. Opinions needed. Thanks. --Deadstar 09:03, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, I created this page and I am not very experienced (yet). Concerning 1) I don't know what I did wrong here. Is there still a way to change the typo of the page-title? Concerning 2) I agree! Concerning 3) I am not sure. I think there is a potential that other users could contribute to this collection and that it helps users to find what they are lookig for. Can't we give it bit time and see whether this page will be used or not? Concerning 4) The idea of this page was actually to create a space for pictures that, in a general undestanding, have "mistakes". The sharpness of pictures is something that seems to be out of question for photography, but I think you loose many pictures if you are not aware of the quality some blurred pictures can have. Yes, it might be better to put it in the photography section, if I understood you correctly. Best wishes.--Christoph Michels 12:47, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Christoph - thanks for your reaction & firstly: you did nothing wrong. It is just a typo in the title and it can be changed. I am however interested to hear if we want a page/category with blurry pictures as I don't want to encourage people to upload unclear images "just because there is a category for it". Deadstar 15:49, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Maps of Almeria - Incomplete requests
[edit]Pasted from [55] -- Bryan (talk to me) 19:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC) The first file out of the two mentioned below has in each case been put up for deletion by User:Scudero in August last year, but was marked as an incomplete deletion request as no reason was given. His edit is the top edit for all the files below. From my little research, it seems that he has uploaded a different version (2nd image in the list below). The user was asked about the incomplete requests in February, but did not answer. Can we decide if we want to keep both or whether one can be deleted.

New request
[edit]- Well yes, this (above) is definitely the old request I made in December.
Obviously not all involved at the time were telling me the whole story. My request was obviously handled, but not assented. Never spoke to this user Thuresson at the time though. He might have missed the discussion we had about the picture on the discussion page of the article it was part of at the time (Mats Molén, svwp). See also post in WikiEN-1, titled "Defamation of biographiees". // (sv:User:RIL) —The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 23:49, 11 May 2007 (UTC).

I have doubts that this image was indeed taken by this Fickr-user. Images like this can only be taken by professional photographers (who else is allowed to take pictures at events like this from this position?). There's no information about who this Flickr-user is in his profile on Flickr - which professional photographer would avoid to give his name? This picture is the only one of his Flickr uploads that is available under a CC license, all others are tagged as "© All rights reserved.". And several others of his pictures contain watermarks such as "americanidol.com" which really makes me doubt that he took them himself. --88.134.140.64 22:20, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

- Comment Project scope arguments notwithstanding (we surely have many meetup-related images here, but these aren't particularly illustrative or incredibly useful), I'd have to ask whether any individual depicted in this image or the two nominated infra has requested deletion. Because these images appear to have been taken on a public street, and because no right of personality or privacy would have, to my understanding (please correct me if I'm wrong), been or would be assertible in the Netherlands (where the photos were taken) or in the United States, the identifiable people guideline would seem to apply. If the uploader accedes to deletion, though, as he appears to, I would support Delete in view of the absence of any grand project-related usefulness. Jahiegel 08:52, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

...as said: "Author has released the work for any promotional or informational purpose with the condition that author's (Sakari Viika) as well as production's (OUT) and director's (Ismo-Pekka Heikinheimo) names are mentioned." That, as far as I comprehend, includes usage as encyclopedia illustration. If the chosen licence option doesn't describe the given rights appropriately, please give a hint. Bottom line: the photographer as well as other rights' owners approve this kind of use of the photo (which can be confirmed) but I personally as the one responsible for the article which exploits these images might be mistaken how to express the state of matter in fact. --hakeliha 23:29, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

- English: This request isn't appropriate for Template:CoryL. It is using with my works, contains "cc-by-nc-sa-2.1-jp" is just additional license, will be supposed to use with GFDL or other free license.

We don't accept non commercial licensing, not even if it is just half non commercional --Huib talk 21:30, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
- Keep, there is at least one valid license. The author may choose to multilicense his work as he/she wishes to, and we shouldn't prevent such information to be posted on the file's description. It looks a bit silly, but we've had these arguments before. It's not "half non commercional", it's either non-commercial or commercial, depending on the license you choose. Patrícia msg 21:47, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
- Keep, dual-licensing is fine, even if the latter is non-free. If someone wants to let someone use a file non-commercially without having to worry about the advanced nuances of the GFDL, its their choice. As long as there is at least one free license.

Copyvio. This is an edited version of en:Image:Chengdu J-10 photo 1.jpg (fair use). The same user uploaded similar adaptions to german WP which have been deleted; see de:Wikipedia:Löschkandidaten/Bilder/9._März_2007#Bild:J-10-01.jpg, de:Wikipedia:Löschkandidaten/Bilder/10._März_2007#Bild:Jian-10.jpg. --Noddy93 10:09, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep There's a little difference between expressis verbis artist's impression and a so-called edited version, even in german WP. See: de:Wikipedia:Werk_(Urheberrecht), de:Wikipedia:Kleine Münze and de:Bearbeitung (Urheberrecht). But this is not a derivative work. In case of doubt it's simply inspired. I don't deny that this photography was to a certain extent the starting point for my work, but that's all. Image:Jian-10.svg is absolutely different from en:Image:Chengdu J-10 photo 1.jpg. The fundamental difference between a lossless scalable vector image and a bitmap graphic is IMHO relevant to this relationship. Because totally zero of en:Image:Chengdu J-10 photo 1.jpg is part of my work, it can’t be an edited version of that bitmap graphic. And if it's not an edited version, it’s therefore NO COPYVIO - that's simply elementary. Threshold of originality is given. --FSHL 23:23, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- P.S.: To be able to judge the fundamental difference between a lossless scalable vector image and a bitmap graphic a suitable browser is undeniably necessary. Firefox without Adobe-SVG-Plugin (Mac OS X) e.g. isn't. --FSHL 01:10, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
The picture is just a little work with the inkscape bitmap-to-vector image-tool using a fair-use picture, as a derivate of the :* Comment to Jeff G. - original pic it is also just fair-use---> Delete P.S.: i think all these kind of pseudo-svgs by FSHL should be deleted, also the drawings, they also have a non-free origin and are just converted to svg. All of them just plagiats, he just deleted some part of the material he got from the graphictool, no own work, everyone could do so in minutes--217.68.184.202 19:04, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
- Comment to 217.68.184.202 - The nature of vectorizing is total transformation of the appropriate object into an absolute other one. A fundamental different image can’t therefore be a vulgar derivate of the so-called »original«. But if you think so than simply everyone do derivates of the first picture humans make. --FSHL 17:24, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete I changed my mind. This is still a derivative work, and the original's licensing was so bad it got deleted from English Wikipedia. — Jeff G. 02:56, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
- Comment to Jeff G. - The circumstances that en:Image:Chengdu J-10 photo 1.jpg has been deleted from English Wikipedia don’t have any effects on Image:Jian-10.svg. Image:Jian-10.svg is ad oculos not identical to en:Image:Chengdu J-10 photo 1.jpg only similar and I never negated that. They must be similar otherwise they don’t illustrate the same airplane. There’s simply no proof that Image:Jian-10.svg is de facto and de jure a derivative work of en:Image:Chengdu J-10 photo 1.jpg – it’s no more than inspired. BTW: It’s even not certain that Image:Jian-10.svg is in fact a vulgar vectorizing – I’ve never stated that... --FSHL 08:55, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
- P.S.: My comment about the nature of vectorizing referred exclusively on that. Each resuming conclusion about the real state/nature of Image:Jian-10.svg would be in case of doubt simply an invalid generalisation. --FSHL 10:24, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
- When and where did you actually see a Jian-10 airplane from that angle? If you did not actually see one, on exactly what basis did you make your image? Thanks! — Jeff G. 23:29, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- Comment to Jeff G. - That’s the product of my workmanship. Even en:Image:Chengdu J-10 photo 1.jpg didn’t show it from that angle and from that side. Check it here. --FSHL 05:16, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
- So it is the product of your workmanship in creating a derivative of this image? How did you find this image on ImageShack? — Jeff G. 19:36, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- Comment to Jeff G. - en:Image:Chengdu J-10 photo 1.jpg and this image are AFAIR identical. And en:Image:Chengdu J-10 photo 1.jpg was as I already mentioned to a certain extent the starting point for my work – at the pre-production of Image:Jian-10.svg to be more accurate... --FSHL 20:29, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- So, as a derivative of a copyrighted work that would not be allowed here, Image:Jian-10.svg should not be allowed here, right? Where is my reasoning faulty? — Jeff G. 00:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
- Comment to Jeff G. - I’ve used en:Image:Chengdu J-10 photo 1.jpg at the pre-production just as study object in order to analyse its proportions. I’ve created Image:Jian-10.svg totally independently of en:Image:Chengdu J-10 photo 1.jpg. The only community between en:Image:Chengdu J-10 photo 1.jpg and Image:Jian-10.svg is the fact that it’s the same airplane. --FSHL 06:24, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:Circuits-poueze.JPGn'est pas un scan ou numérisation d'une carte IGN mais une photographie du panneau municipal officiellement cofinancé par le Départemement de Maine-et-Loire, les Offices du Tourisme du Lion d'Angers et de Segré et inauguré en même temps que le balisage réglementaire des circuits de la Pouëze. Le bandeau de copyright de IGN n'a pas lieu d'être maintenu, ou alors faites détruire le panneau par les instances départementales, ce sera plus difficile et plus coûteux en procédure !!! [User:Poussin jean] 09:22, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Rough translation of the previous intervention : « Image:Circuits-poueze.JPG has not been scanned or numerized from an IGN map, but is a picture taken from a municipal sign, which has been cofinanced by the Departement of Maine-et-Loire, Tourism Offices of Le Lion d'Angers and Segré, and inaugurated aside the waymarking of the paths of La Pouëze». The IGN copyright sign must not be maintained, or ask destruction of the sign by departmental authorities, it should be harder and more costly !! »
- Sorry I fully maintain my legal analysis (just correcting my factual inaccuracy : this is indeed a photograph of a sign, not a scan of a map). Even if the Institut Géographique National has given permission (probably for money) to use a detail of one of its maps on a sign, this sign is itself protected against reproduction, even if it has been financed on public money. This image is copyrighted and cannot be legally kept on Commons. Touriste 14:10, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- Nos réponses se sont croisées : mais je maintiens que ce panneau est un objet visible de la voie publique (ici l'objet est le dessin des circuits et non le fond de teint de la carte ign) ; cet objet a déjà été reproduit de nombreuses fois, en de multiples exemplaires. Le mieux c'est d'interroger IGN ou le Département ; ou bien j'efface les traces d'Ign derrière le dessin des circuits; ou je le re-dessine... il faudra bien trouver une solution...

No fair use of logos in Commons. — Jeff G. 16:51, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- I am expanding my nomination to all of Maksim's uploads. That user appears to have been carelessly using a bot to transfer to Commons images from other Wikipedias, many with questionable licensing tags (leaving over 150 complaints on its user talk page), and abruptly stopped editing Commons at 11:44 (UTC) on 9 April 2006. I'm sorry I didn't do this (nominate all of the user's uploads) yesterday, but I didn't have sufficient information, and I didn't know I was allowed to do this.

- The "Kruger logo wagon.jpg" is from a wagon that used to belong to Paul Kruger (1825-1904). I don't think copyright can be of any concern in this case. Thuresson 22:07, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
- The underlying work would appear to still be covered by the Berne Convention's "minimal term of 50 years after the life of the authors", HOWEVER, new research based on the South African Copyright Act has shown the following:
Duration of Copyright in terms of the South African Copyright Act.
This depends on the type of work that has been created. Generally, the term of copyright is 50 years, subject to the following:
- Literary, musical or artistic works - copyright exists for the life of the author plus fifty years following death, calculated from the end of the year the author died in or 50 years from the date of first publication, performance in public, offering for sale of records thereof or the broadcasting thereof , whichever is earlier
- Assuming from the above that Paul Kruger or one of his ancestors commissioned this artistic work and it was first published on his wagon before his death in 1904, copyright on it expired on or before 31 December 1954.
- Conclusions:
- The underlying work is subject to {{PD-South-Africa}}.
- The photograph of the underlying work is subject to {{GFDL-user-w|en|English Wikipedia|Stephantom}}.
- The rest of Maksim's uploads are still suspect.
- Conclusions:
- From what I understand, he is now moving free images from local wikis. He is being careless and is also uploading non-free images (that are claimed to be free at the local wikis)... -- Cat chi? 17:06, 12 May 2007 (UTC) (copied from this edit)

This is a screenshot of a Star Wars Game (Star Wars: Lethal Alliance) which was developed by Ubisoft. Now it seems Ubisoft has agreed to release screenshots of their games under a free license (although this deletion request isn't closed yet). But this screenshot incorporates stormtroopers and a Twi'lek alien, and AFAIK Lucasfilm Ltd. always retains all copyrights to its characters, starships, stories, etc... The developers of Star Wars games, authors of SW books and pencillers of SW comics don't own all the rights to their SW creations and can't release them under a free license without permission by Lucasfilm. So while Ubisoft games screenshots may be available under a free license, screenshots of Star Wars games are not. --88.134.140.64 23:12, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Info about the picture
[edit]The polar bear has since it was drawn on a coin in 1665 been the symbol of Greenland, and has since 1819 been a regular part of the Big Danish State Coat of Arms, shown below. Strangely, the polar bear lifts its right jaw in the Danish version. This version is also used by the State ombudsman, where the sheild is crowned. The artist in the 17th century Copenhagen did not know that the polar bear does not use its left jaw. In 1985 the Greenlandish drawer Jens Rosing drew the Greenlandish version of the coat of arms. Here, the polar bear lifts the left jaw and it is this coat of arms you can see the home rule using. Sorry for the bad translation. --80.63.213.182 11:41, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Danish version:
[edit]Isbjørnen har siden den blev afbildet på en speciedaler i 1665 været symbolet på Grønland, og har siden 1819 været en fast bestanddel af det Store Danske Rigsvåben, afbildet herunder. Pudsigt nok løfter isbjørnen i den danske version, sin højre pote. Denne version anvendes også af Rigsombudsmanden, hvor skjoldet også er kronet. Tegneren i 1600-tallets København vidste ikke at isbjørnen bruger venstre pote. I 1985 tegnede den grønlandske kunster Jens Rosing den grønlandske version af våbenskjoldet. Her løfter isbjørnen den venstre pote og det er det våbenskjold du kan se hjemmestyret bruge.
From http://www.nanoq.gl/Om_Isbjoernen.aspx?lang=da
Ergo the drawing is from 1985 and redrawn in 2004 and covered by copyright, because the site does not say different.
- Keep the .svg version. If uploader has received permission then keep the .png as well. Commons established precedent by accepting images from Vector-images.com. I see no reason to delete this .svg created the very same way. This insignia was created more than 300 years ago without a clear blazon, and the bear has been shown in several versions - including walking - so the idea about the left-handedness might not be original at all (I haven't checked). Regarding the official .png version, I notice that the uploader, User:Arne List, uses the words "courtesy of". Has he been contacted at all so we can determine if this choice of words means that he has received an e-mail from somebody regarding this image? I can see no such message on his talk page.

- This is PD-Old, it was taken in 1918, i.e. 89 years ago (and counting), and the unknown photografer most likely died during the uprising of 1918-1919.

Unencyclopedic; strong POV. Very one-sided portrayal of Georgian conflicts with demonization of Russia. Baseless accusation of instigation of ethnic conflicts, occupation, running of puppet regimes, etc -- Óðinn 22:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
- I do not think that POV or unencyclopedic should be the question. I think the map gives a clear overview of the conflict. When this map is considered to be POV, when used one can add a remark that this mag gives to a Georgian view on the conflict. I oppose deletion of this image. I would prefer using a map more neutral, but als long as that is not available, I would use this map. Electionworld 12:25, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- Clear overview? I beg to differ; it grossly misrepresents the conflict. I especially enjoyed the passage about the mythical Russian emissaries instigating the uprising among the Azeris in Georgia. Such BS. And since when do the rules of NPOV and original research do not apply to this image? Óðinn 15:11, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- There are more lies, like the claim of occupation of Abkhazia and S.Ossetia... There are no regular Russian troops stationed there, only the peacemakers, whose presence is approved by the UN. When some Georgian nationalist have attempted to insert such blatant lies into the English Wikipedia articles on Abkhazia and S. Ossetia, they were quickly reverted, and rightly so. So why would such outrageous POV be allowed here?Óðinn 15:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- It is NPOV and encyclopedic to use such an image if one clearly states at the same time that the image represents a Georgian view of the conflict. Electionworld 15:21, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- So you're not arguing that the image itself is neither NPOV nor encyclopedic? Óðinn 15:35, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- And to claim that this picture represents the view of the whole country is a POV on its own. Óðinn 15:38, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- No, I never argued that the image itself is either NPOV or POV or (un)encyclopedic. I think a POV image can be used if placed in a correct context. You are right , it should be a Georgian. (I corrected it here above) Please look to the way the image is used at this time, with a correction text. BTW, I'm wonering if other people will take part in this debate. Electionworld 17:31, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- I think it is not enough to merely mention that this map is a product of Georgian propaganda. It needs to be stated somewhere that some claims are blatant lies (occupation of Abkhazia and S.Ossetia, instigation of ethnic conflicts) and some are highly controversial (participation of the Russian troops in the conflicts, which was never proven). Óðinn 18:15, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- Blatant lies might be as POV as the content of the image. But I think that debate could take part at the talk pages of the entries that use this image. Electionworld 08:12, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- I'm afraid, in this particular case, "blatant lies" are quite NPOV. Or you can tone it down to "totally untrue", I don't care. In either case there is a whole bunch of UN resolutions concerning the status of the Russian peacekeepers in Georgia that commend their stabilizing role in the region. As for discussing this on individual pages... I don't know about you, but my Hebrew is pretty much non-existent. And that's exactly why such dubious materials should not be hosted here on Commons. Óðinn 19:02, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
- My Hebrew is absent. But I still don't agree with you and I still don't see more support for deletion. Electionworld 19:12, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
- This is not a vote, but rather a presentation of pro and contra arguments. Whether or not more people participate is irrelevant; it's up to the reviewing admin to decide which side's arguments are more convincing. Now, this image is not only NPOV, it is also factually incorrect. That alone is enough to warrant its deletion. You change in description that the image presents a Georgian point of view is insufficient, as it doesn't tell the readers, unfamiliar with the subject, which information is highly controversial and which is plainly not true. This is an encyclopedia after all; why do you insist on using an image that is intentionally designed to mislead people? The only condition I would agree on keeping this image is that it's modified in a way to address and explain all the factually incorrect and controversial claims. Óðinn 21:45, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
- As I said earlier (I think), I don't mind replacing the image with a more neutral version. As an admin I wouldn't delete it just because of the arguments brought forward. Electionworld 22:40, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
- Well, what's stopping you? :)Óðinn 00:18, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
- I didn't make the map and I don't know how to make maps. Sorry. Electionworld 11:20, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Maybe this does have a POV, but as long as this is taken into account when viewing it (and it does clearly say it is biased) then it is still encyclopaedic.

- This has nothing to do with copyfraud, but with lack of source. The point is that, because of the bad quality of the image, you can't tell when the drawing (or photo?) was created. We have to be positive about the fact that the drawing is in the PD. If this is a drawing made in 1930 based upod a picture made in 1852, it might very well be copyrighted anyway. Sorry, it's not me who made the rules. So I'd rather like keeping this picture (it's useful), but knowing when was it made and by whom. --User:G.dallorto 15:18, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

- Keep If the photo was taken in 1852 and the photographer did have died immediately, the image would have entered the PD in 1923. This is 84 years ago! If the author had twenty years of age at the moment of taking the image and if he would have died after a reasonable time of 55 years in the year 1907 the image would have entered the PD in 1978. Because this is also roughly 30 years ago, I think that this image and the others can be savely kept. --ALE! ¿…? 12:31, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Very unlikely to be GFDL; a store owner letting you take a photo of franchise artwork doesn't mean it's usable. If I blew it up and submitted it for use to Borders Books, they might complain. In any case, since you are not the creator, and cannot release under CC. We don't know the creator, or the copyright status, but it's likely copyrighted by Barnes and Nobles.

- It is allegedly vandalism and fraud, and the "Author" field appears unrelated to the uploader. Also, it appears that the systems you used to post are running exactly one month behind. — Jeff G. 17:07, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
- Who doubts that the "Author" field appears unrelated to the uploaded, he could send a message to the mailing address located at the original site. [email protected]
- The main problem with the image is that it represents original research in conflict with established, well-sourced information already existing in the pertinent articles. In addition, the image itself is of poor quality, its attendant description/explanation is largely incoherent (and is original research), and it has no potential value to wikimedia projects. It should be deleted. Ruyn 18:27, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- The propagation of a picture in the encyclopaedia is not new, if looked at the following picture
- , find it spread widely, although it indicates that the Arabic numerals is European which is denied by all historical evidence.--Aissa 18:36, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- That picture does not indicate that Arabic numerals are European in origin. Ruyn 18:27, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- Its name is known in the manuscripts; Arabic numerals. And this image Image:وهدَفي حسابْ.gif is a confirmation of this fact.--Aissa 15:13, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- I meant that the table you referenced directly above, Arabic numerals-en.svg, does not indicate that Arabic numerals are European in origin. The image under discussion for deletion, وهدَفي حسابْ.gif, as well as its description, do not reference any "manuscripts" or other sources. It is original research, and therefore cannot be presented as "confirmation" that your opinion is fact. Even if it weren't in conflict with the established facts, which it apparently is, and even if your weak command of the english language hadn't produced such an incoherent description, which it has, and even if the quality of the actual image weren't poor, which it is, the content itself is unsourced original research and has no value to wikimedia projects. This is why it should be deleted. If you are capable of addressing this inherent fault, you are welcome to do so, preferably in understandable English. If not, then I suggest you concede the point. You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but this is not the place to present it as fact. Ruyn 01:06, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
- In the English Wikipedia this image exists only in one page of discussion. I think that this image can be removed because it indicates that the Arab numerals are Arab of origin, but other images indicating that the Arab numerals are Indian or European of origin finds no harassment, like this:
Description:
Theoretically it can be assumed that each number originally contained accurately the amount of angles whose number if desired to represent. Thus number “1” was represented for two traces that if joined in a superior vortex (as a “inverted V”), the “2” as a “Z”, the “3” as a sigma (Σ) inverted, the “4” almost accurately as it is today. --Aissa 10:31, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
- That image (or any other) demonstrating the "angle origin" cannot be used to promote that theory in any wikipedia article without reliable reference. Since that theory happens to be proven false, the only possible use it might have is as demonstration of a referenced historical theory, in the context of illustrating something that was or is falsely believed. See the following note from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Arabic_numerals:
- "Just checked out Ifrah's book on the history of numbers, which is a 600 page comprehensive book. It contains half a dozen theories like this (including this) under a section on "Fanciful Explanations for hte origin of "Arabic" numerals" which have long been rejected. This one comes from a Spaniard Carlos Le Maur (1778). These explanations, the book says "are flawed because they are the fruit of the pseudo-scientific imaginations of men who are fooled by appearances and who jump to conclusions which completely contradict both historical facts and the results of epigraphic and palaeographic research". It's a pity that some schools still teach this angle stuff! deeptrivia (talk) 00:06, 9 January 2007 (UTC)"
- if you see any article in any language promoting the angle theory as fact, you should fix it with references to the relevant material. So, in short, that image is no better than the animation under discussion. If you can document a similar reference demonstrating that your theory was or is propagated in published material of significance, that would allow your image to be used in the context of illustrating said theory, which would address the biggest reason for its proposed deletion (though not allow it to be used in the manner you were attempting to use it in the articles it was removed from). Since you seem to claim to have developed the theory yourself (as original research), and in the absence of any references so far, the image under discussion should be deleted. Ruyn 16:17, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Since this animation could only illustrate original research in a Wikimedia project, we must delete it. --Juiced lemon 13:17, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

The status of the image doesn't seem to be very clear to me. "copyright free image from English Wikipedia"? Why "copyright free"? Tschichold died in 1974, he's not a young man on the picture, so it's quite likely that the photographer's 70 years p.m.a. didn't pass yet. Stated is "Source=self-made" - although one could read this as GearedBull claiming to be the photographer, I think it is more likely that this user just edited the picture as indicated by the somehow unclear description, and doesn't have the right to decide its licensing status.

Two: Even if they were exactly the same image (watermark and all) there is no copyright pertaining explicitly to that image on the source website.

These digital images are my creation. I took the photos of the paintings. I restored the photographs that were taken by Peter Graham or members of his family. I also own copyright of the original artwork. The GFDL seemed to be the most appropriate because I would like Peter Graham's name to go with the images if they are reused. If you want me to add more information or change anything please let me know --Newepoch 13:36, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
- Maybe you could send an E-Mail with the formal proof that you are the copyright holder of all these images to OTRS. Thank you! --ALE! ¿…? 07:56, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- Does anyone want to make further inquiries about this? I am inclined to believe Newepoch (so Keep), but he hasn't edited since May and I don't think we will get an answer from him. (oops forgot to sign, but is was from me, Fred J)
- All in all we need an OTRS permission. --Polarlys 17:32, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
- I think it is simple to contact, because the contact information is added to the template. It says "Contact via Jan Martin, Director of Lyttleton Gallery 2A Curran St, North Melbourne, Australia, 3051, Ph (03) 9328 1508". The last part is a phone number. Someone from Australia can call. / Fred J 17:40, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

The image description claims that SS veterans are pictured along with UPA, however this is not supported with sources nor is it evident in the picture, which shows UPA soldiers and scouts. It is not clear why the uploader thinks that SS soldiers are portrayed. -- Riurik 04:43, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Therefore someone holds the copyright to it; we, however, don't know who holds the copyright since we don't have the source of the image. Thus we do not know if this image is in the public domain or even if it is freely licensed. --Iamunknown 03:34, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, as i put on the two in the USA, they area alos pics from the USGov, that is surely. And it is defeinte that all picas, except maybe with Nasser and Indira aree made in Yugolsvia.

With Gadafi also, he came to Belgradi to Beli dvor durning Tito's rule, so made in and puvlished durnig SFRY. The portraits of Tito are surely made by the Yugolsva government, beacuse he was adorend in SFRY and many of his portratits were made by the government, or the official portraiters of Tito.

- Wait a sec. SFRY collapsed in 1991. 5 new countries were created, all with differenet laws. Also, the laws are different from the lwas of the SFRY. So, as the SFRY has no legal succesor, the laws (unlike the Third Reich which has a legal succesor), do not apply for any videos, or pics created by the SFRY government, or by any official of the government, and are published in the SFRY. Beacuse all of these were made by Yugoslav officials, and were pulblished in the SFRY, the laws do not apply to them, and they are PD. --Poirot 13:53, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

- In terms of copyright, all the successor states have continued the international obligations of the SFRY. The SFRY was a member of the UCC since May 11, 1966, and so are all the successor states. See Circular 38a of the U.S. Copyright Office, and the list of UCC (1952) members. All these countries started out by taking over the last copyright law of the SFRY, which had a 25-year from publication copyright term for photographs. See also Commons talk:Licensing/Archive 3#PD-Croatia? and this old discussion. Lupo 21:33, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- Furthermore, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was member of the Berne Convention since 1930.[80]. The SFRY signed the Stockholm Act of the Berne Convention before 1968.[81] It also signed the Paris Act on July 24, 1971, and ratified it in 1975. The Paris Act of the BC entered in force with respect to the SFRY on September 2, 1975.[82] Note that there is an explicit "declaration of succession", so clearly the SFRY does have legal successors when it comes to the Berne Convention. Lupo 09:36, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

- User:Thuresson is right, although he doesn't know why. There is the Agreement on Succession Issues of the Former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia [83], signed in 2001. Its Annex G, Article 3 says: "The successor states shall respect and protect rights of all natural and juridical persons of the SFRY to intellectual property, including patents, trade marks, copyrights, and other allied rights (e.g., royalties) and shall comply with international conventions in that regard."
- User:Bryan's claim that "SFRY has no legal successor" is plain wrong: The preamble of the agreement says: "Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of Croatia, the Republic of Macedonia, the Republic of Slovenia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, being in sovereign equality the five successor states to the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, ...".
- The question of Yugoslavia's legal successor has been heavily disputed in the 1990's. Serbia and Montenegro (FRY) claimed that they were the sole successor of SFRY according to en:Vienna Convention on Succession of States in respect of Treaties, since the "renegade" republics have seceded. There was no unanimous consensus on that issue, but since Serbia-Montenegro does not support its claim any longer, for the purposes of this deletion procedure, we can safely assume that there were five successor states, each with its own copyright law, under obligation to comply with international conventions in that regard (as mentioned by User:Lupo).See [84] and 2.0.CO;2-Y">[85] for more information. --El Cazangero 22:12, 14 June

- The most maps of Earth are drawn and painted before Wikipedia and Wikicommons were born. The many-many maps on Commons are redrawing of pre-existing maps. Alex Spade 16:48, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, the idea of a map with "blue states" transfered to Canada is ineligible for copyright protection. Kjetil r 00:57, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- Why is that? If so, then we should replace this with the original image (en:Image:New map WEB.jpg). —Bkell (talk) 02:25, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- May be. But this image is more accurate. It's in PNG, not JPEG, there are borders on them. Alex Spade 16:48, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
- Perhaps I should elaborate more. It seems to me that there are three general possibilities here:
- Neither the original map (en:Image:New map WEB.jpg) nor the redrawn map (Image:Jesusland.png) enjoys copyright protection.
- The original map enjoys copyright protection, but the redrawn map is free from copyright restrictions.
- Both the original and the redrawn map are subject to copyright restrictions.
- The second possibility is easiest to dispose with: The redrawn map is very obviously a derivative work of the original, so if the original is under any kind of copyright protection, this protection applies to the redrawn map as well. Thus, there is no reason to have this redrawn map; it can be no freer than the original.
- So the question comes down to whether the original map is eligible for copyright protection. I believe it is, as a form of an editorial cartoon. While Kjetil r is correct that ideas cannot be copyrighted, the expression of an idea can be. Open any newspaper to the editorial section, and you will find cartoons expressing political or social ideas in a creative (and often humorous) manner. This is exactly what this map is doing. I don't believe there is any dispute that editorial cartoons are copyrighted; why is this image any different? It is a novel and creative expression of frustration with the outcome of the 2004 U.S. presidential election.
- So it is apparent that the second possibility above cannot hold; either the first or the third must be the case. I think it is clear that the original map enjoys copyright protection as a creative work, so this redrawn version is bound by the same restrictions. —Bkell (talk) 02:58, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- I think the original may have problems passing the threshold of originality. // Liftarn
- Why is that? If so, then we should replace this with the original image (en:Image:New map WEB.jpg). —Bkell (talk) 02:25, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
The easiest would probably be to ask Jeff Minter, I don't think he'll have a problem with it. // Liftarn
- weak delete because the colors and text are very similar. If it was a map which marked the provinces and states in a different color scheme I think this would be ok as it would be factual information. But here, elements of the design have been copied, not just the facts of which state is which. --Astrokey44 13:55, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
- Cool. In many cases USSR is painted as RED, accroding to you, for Commons, we must paint it as GREEN. This is nonsense. Alex Spade 16:48, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
- Strongly keep This is not der.works. This map consist of North America Map (there many free of them), five words (words are uncopyrighted), and some color scheme for coloring. It's consist of trivial facts: this state is painted by red color, that province - by green color and etc. There are many another fictional maps of Earth (not Middle Earth, Tatooine and etc.) see Category:Maps of alternate histories. The color scheme for coloring of Earth map is trivial, so it's uncopyrighted. Statement "State A (country, region, town, city and etc.) is a part of the union Super WWW" is fact, facts are uncopyrighted. In other case, the many-many maps from Commons are der.works. Alex Spade 16:29, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
- So again, if what you are saying is true, then the original image is uncopyrightable, and it is the original that should be here on Commons, not this redrawn version. —Bkell (talk) 17:32, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
- You can see my answer above, after your second thesis. But in additional to my previous answer - we don't know, is the contour map of original image copyrighted? For new image, all there components are free (free contour map + trivial words + trivial color scheme), for original image the freedom of contour map is unknown. Alex Spade 18:03, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
- Well, some users here (most notably User:Rtc) would claim that the original is ineligible for copyright. Personally, I do not think I agree, but I consider Image:Jesusland.png to be sufficiently original so that it is not a derivative work. Kjetil r 19:26, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

- Ok, should the colours be changed? That is a trivial change. Unless "Jesusland" is a trademark the name shouldn't be a problem. // Liftarn

- But the other hand, wny not? Color isn't principal ;-) Alex Spade 16:14, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

- The law of Tonga only forbids the use in business or where the suggestion may exist someone wants unrightfully to represent the Tongan government. See [88] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tauʻolunga (talk • contribs) at 07:42, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - Where did this image come from? Did you, Tauʻolunga, design it, license it to the Tongan government for many purposes, and then at 00:53 (UTC) on 18 August 2006 suddenly decide to release the rest of your rights to it by uploading it to Wikimedia Commons with "cc-by-sa-2.5" permission? I seriously doubt that.
- Assuming, then, that you did not design that image, authorized use of the Tonga Coat of Arms is not authorized "for business purposes", not for commercial purposes, and therefore "noncommercial-only", within the meaning of "Commons also does not accept noncommercial-only content" per Commons:Licensing, and such use is therefore incompatible with Commons. Details follow.
- The 1988 Revised Edition of "the Tonga Royal Arms and Flag Act" ("ROYAL ARMS AND FLAG ACT - Act No. 17 of 1962 - AN ACT TO PREVENT THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THE TONGA COAT OF ARMS AND THE ROYAL ENSIGN", "His Majesty in Council", "Kingdom of Tonga") (as available online at http://legislation.to/Tonga/DATA/PRIN/1988-007/RoyalArmsandFlagAct.pdf) clearly states the following (fully justified):
- 2 Restriction on using Coat of Arms or Flag.
- A person shall not, without the authority of His Majesty in Council, use in
- connection with any business, calling or profession the Tonga Coat of Arms or
- Flag of Tonga, or arms or flag so resembling them as to be calculated to deceive,
- in such manner as to be calculated to lead to the belief that he is duly authorized
- to use the Coat of Arms or the Flag of Tonga.
- 2 Restriction on using Coat of Arms or Flag.
- 3 Use for business purposes prohibited.
- The grant of authority to use the Coat of Arms or the Flag shall not authorize the
- use of the Coat of Arms or Flag for business purposes or for use on any patented
- article.
- 3 Use for business purposes prohibited.
- Even if you were given "The grant of authority to use the Coat of Arms", you still do not have the right to use it "for business purposes", and you may not transfer any right you do not have. — Jeff G. 16:13, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- I see your problem now (I hope). Not so much the issue as whether the seal can be used in such a free, non business, surrounding as wikipedia, but whether I had the right to put the cc2.5 license on it. I thought it that it applied to the construction I did, not the original. Apparently I misunderstood. But in that time (much improved now) choosing a license at an upload was an extremily confusing task. If you can suggest a better license I am happy to change it. If not, would it be really in wikipedia's educational interest to have the seal of all countries, all provinces, all cities over the whole world, removed? Tauʻolunga 06:23, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- If it were on English Wikipedia and used for fair use, that would be ok. Fair use is not allowed on Commons. — Jeff G. 07:07, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for your answer. It seems to be a lawyers' quibble to me, but if that is the way it is, then that is the way it is. All right then, all seals will be removed from commons, but we can put them with fair use in any language wikipedia where they are still needed. You do that, or whoever wants can take care of any seal in any language? And flags too, I assume? Tauʻolunga 20:13, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner. Regarding lawyers, it is lawyers who would represent His Majesty in Council in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida when suing the Wikimedia Foundation for copyright infringement via its servers in St. Petersburg, Florida, lawyers for the Wikimedia Foundation who would have to defend such an action, lawyers (in the form of United States Federal Judges) who would decide the case or handle appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, and lawyers (in the form of United States Supreme Court Justices) who would handle appeals to the United States Supreme Court. I don't want that to happen, and I don't think you want that to happen.
- As I understand the situation, per the Wikimedia Foundation Licensing Policy Resolution of 23 March 2007, you may upload a copyrighted seal or flag for fair use purposes to any language Wikipedia which allows you to do so under an EDP (such as the English Wikipedia Non-free content Policy), but the fair use cannot go beyond what is allowed by US copyright law because US copyright law is the most stringent copyright law of all of the copyright law which covers all of the servers operated by the Wikimedia Foundation. — Jeff G. 22:29, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
- Thank for your answer. All right go ahead. Be done with it. As long the picture is stuck here it cannot be fairly uploaded on a local wikipedia. Tauʻolunga 06:05, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

- Hold on. I say Keep on this. The restrictions mentioned by Jeff are trademark-like restrictions pursuant to the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, article 6ter. Similar restrictions apply to basically all official state emblems, but they have nothing to do with copyright. It's perfectly fine to show such emblems, even in commercial contexts (e.g. in a commercially sold booklet on state emblems). Only using the emblem (e.g. placing it on a commercially sold object or its packaging to imply some sort of official approval, or incorporating it into a trademark) is subject to express authorization.

- However, there is some point that has been raised at de:Wikipedia:Urheberrechtsfragen#Grundsatzfragen: the foundations' licensing resolution, which is binding for all projects, is based upon the definition of "Free Cultural Works" as given on freedomdefined.org. The licensing resolution states that all project shall host only works that are free in the sense of the freedomdefined.org definition. Limited exceptions are allowed under so-called Exemption Doctrine Policies (EDPs), but the Commons is explicitly barred from having any such EDPs. Now, the problem is this: freedomdefined.org states that a "free" work "must not be covered by legal restrictions (patents, contracts, etc.) or limitations (such as privacy rights) which would impede the freedoms enumerated above." That would mean that we'd need to look beyond copyrights, and that the foundation's licensing policy did not consider COAs and the like "free" works, even if they were fine copyright-wise, because their use is often restricted by other laws. Ugh. Looks like the overarching "free culture" activism expressed at freedomdefined.org has some rather drastic and unpleasant consequences for us. Lupo 09:57, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- Quoting from Eloquence, from the mailing list: the licensing policy has been specifically formulated to avoid that problem. It requires content to be under a Free Content License, which is defined as "a license which meets the terms of the Definition of Free Cultural Works _specific to licenses_". It does not require the absence of impeding moral rights restrictions. However, since "Public Domain" is not a free content license, this still is ambigious for us. I think I am sending a message to the mailing list. -- Bryan (talk to me) 20:21, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- This has got nothing to do with moral rights. It's a trademark issue, or, if you like, an issue of sui generis emblem laws (like that Flag Act cited above). Lupo 20:44, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not saying this has anything to do with moral rights. What I tried to explain, is that I assume that the Licensing resolution was not meant to delete images that are under additional restrictions, but that this is something that might be overlooked when the resolution was made. -- Bryan (talk to me) 19:09, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

- Inclined to vote "keep" unless someone explains how this national emblem has a status significantly different from the other hundreds of national emblems hosted on Wikimedia Commons. This situation is what Template:Insignia was invented for... AnonMoos 03:21, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, that is also something I start to wonder. It looks to me a campaign against this emblem in particular and maybe a few more, but not against the majority others. For the rest I do not care. Neutral vote. Tauʻolunga 06:29, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- There is no such thing as a precident here. It may be that we have just not taken the time to talk this thing through until now. So let's do it for this image and assess, based on the outcome, if anything has to be done about the other images that fall into the same category. Siebrand 08:11, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- What did you have in mind? The long-standing practice here at the Commons was to allow insignia (COAs, flags) if they were fine copyright-wise, and maybe add {{Insignia}}, in accordance with our tradition of only considering the copyright status of an image. Individual Wikipedias and other projects could use such insignia under an EDP. The commons may not have EDPs as per the licensing policy, and that licensing policy does seem to consider usage restrictions as they exist on insignia not acceptable as per the definition of "Free Cultural Works". So, what options do we have? We could copy insignia to all 200+ projects, set up an EDP for insignia on each of these projects, and delete them here. That'd be compliant with the current WMF licensing policy, but an awful waste of time, effort, and resources. Or we could try to get the WMF to authorize EDPs at the Commons. Then we could still be compliant with the policy, draw up an EDP for insignia here, and be done. Or we could try to get the WMF to drop that problematic "other restrictions" condition, but that might be difficult, as freedomdefined.org doesn't seem to be a WMF entity. (Even though Erik and Angela are involved in both. I'll never understand how in heaven's name the WMF could give the authority over such a central definition out of its hands. The WMF, not some other entity, should define what's free enough for WMF projects. the WMF should do so in its own licensing policy, and not rely on an externally controlled definition.) Or we could simply ignore the WMF licensing policy. See also these threads on the mailing list: [89] and [90]. Note that this policy issue not only concerns insignia, but also e.g. images showing people (such as this one, as such images cannot be used without the subject's consent in an advertisement in many jurisdictions). What other options are there? Lupo 11:59, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- I am very, very, very much against non-free content on Wikimedia Commons. I'm even very much against fair use in any Wikimidia project. I think fair use actually harms Wikimedia projects in the long run, both legally and in growth potential of really free content. We are dealing with Commons as a meta project only here, though. However we treated content in the past is no reason to treat it the same at this point in time. Views and insights can alter.
- As for the coats and the flag: there are many different kinds of them. National insignia and flags, provincial insignia and flags, municipality flags, sub-municipality flags, insignia and flags from other gouvernment related organisations (water boards, armed forces related, policy, firefighting related, etc.). For each country and intity law and rules of usage may be different and all these sub classes of flags and insignia by country by type cannot be treated as one. For each we have to establish its license status.
- In this particilar case, we are, as far as I can see, dealing with a national coat of arms of an independant state, en:Tonga. As far as I know, we declare all of those to be in the public domain, whomever created it and whenever, unless the source was a website with restrictions on distribution (like FOTW), in which case the image has to be recreated. Siebrand 07:00, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- P.s. if you think we have a freedom problem, it might be a good idea to consult the organisation you mentioned and ask them how they perceive the content in light of their definition of free.
- I agree with your first point. The question is indeed "what is free?" For me, free means "unencumbered in terms of copyright". The freedomdefined.org definition goes much further. It's an utopian definition not really useful for applications outside of Utopia. Wikimedia projects are not Utopia. Images of COAs, flags, people, design-protected objects such as cars, freedom-of-panorama images (since in some jurisdictions, those must not be modified), official documents (ditto), all seem to fail the freedomdefined.org definition even if all these images were fine copyright-wise. That has got nothing to do anymore with building encyclopedias or publishing free knowledge, that's pure activism of a splinter group. And yes, I am in the process of contacting the WMF about this.

- Oops. Sorry, Dschwen, nobody is questioning your actions at all. Read the template again: it talks about re-users of that image. There are restrictions on re-uses of this image and other such images. The "free cultural works" definition the WMF has adopted in its licensing policy does appear to not consider the work "free" because of this. That's the problem! Lupo 20:09, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

- I am going to say keep too. One of the nations I deal with the most, Belarus, has a similiar restriction on the national emblem. What the the Belarusian law says that anyone can use the emblem as long as they are not trying to act like agents of the government. This law that was pointed out, I believe it means the same thing. The law states that we cannot use the arms to deceive people that we are agents of the Royal Government. The second part says we canno take sections of the arms or flag to use in a logo or for advertising purposes. I feel that we are safe. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 23:37, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

It is obvious that this user is malicious and disruptive. He steals and then publicizes in his own name, rather than contacting the author of the file to resolve any differences in oppinions regarding the file that I (Rainman) have published in commons.wikimedia.org under the license. User Zlin has broken the rules set by the above mentioned license and thus commited a violation of a part of copyright set by CC-BY-2.5 license. This is why I want his contribution in a form of a file to be deleted from the commons.
Proof: When my file is displayed in a 613px (613 × 599 pixel) resolution it is the same as the stolen file (ends with .PNG - in capitals).
It would be in all ways different thing have I published under the GNU license, which I have not done in order to prevent from dishonest use of the file.
In all of the languages of the southern Slavic origin the word zli means in English language the word evil. This user came on the commons to harase yours truly (e. g. myself) hence the lack of files published by this author.
And another thing. We should publish files in the greatest resolution possible, not the lowest, respecting the rule of minimizing the file size, but maximizing the quantity of information.
Thank you for your work.

Image was tagged for deletion, which I reverted because the site states that the content is CC-by-2.5. However, after email conversation, it turned out that the logo does not fall under the CC-BY-2.5. I was also told that these restrictions apply. However, is the logo creative enough to be eligible for copyright? It is, by the way not registered as trademark. -- Bryan (talk to me) 18:37, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment . All 3 clearly have invalid licenses - the uploader is not the copyright holder. It seems likely these are old paintings now out of copyright, but without further information about the artist there's no way to confirm this. Anyone recognise them? WjBscribe 17:07, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- These images do have the correct licenses. I, PRTkand, am the uploader and the copyright holder of these pictures. I photographed them inside Kandahar Museum in Kandahar, Afghanistan by the full permission from the museum staff. I also have them loaded on to www.Flickr.com, so it's useless to make false claims against me because I am the copyright holder to all these images since I took the pictures with my own camera. You will not be able to find these images anywhere else online, like I said they are one of a kind. The original paintings are hanging in Kandahar Museum. If you claim that I am not the copyright holder then you must provide clear and convincing evidence, otherwise you are violating the rules of Wikimedia by knowingly and falsely accusing someone of not being the copyright holder when in fact they are the copyright holders.--PRTkand 13:17, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- That's a mistaken assumption. Image's EXIF data does not show camera etc for the first two. On the third, EXIF claims the image was made with an Olympus C-740UZ on January 14, 2003... but apparently that camera model was first presented by Olympus at PMA in Las Vegas on March 2, 2003! (See List_of_Olympus_products, [93], [94], [95].) How can that be? It's up to you to provide proof that you are the copyright owner on these images. Send such proof to permissions AT wikimedia DOT org, and mention clearly to what images it applies. Without such evidence, these images may be deleted. Lupo 13:42, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- Note that according to a Japanese news release from Olympus (as far as I understand it thanks to babelfish), the C-740UZ first went on sale in Japan in mid-May 2003.[96] So it seems highly unlikely that the C-740UZ was available anywhere before that March 2, 2003 date. Lupo 14:22, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- Discussions of who took the photos aside, photographing someone else's work does not make you the author of the work in question (in this case, the painter is the author), nor does creating a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional work in itself merit any copyright protection, since the reproduction does not introduce any creative elements not already present in the work depicted. —LX (talk, contribs) 22:43, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

- Well, I never said I was the author of the original paintings that are hanging in Kandahar Musuem. I am the uploader and owner of these pictures is what I stated. User:Lupo, all that detailed search you made about my camera is irrelevant because the sources you provided are not from the Olympus manufactoring plant that actually physically put-together or build these cameras, and ship them to people but rather from different marketing agents of Olympus and other cameras. Products can be released to some individuals or organizations ahead of their original launching dates. I don't think I need to go further with explaining how and where I got my camera in January 2003. I am from Asia so perhaps we get our hands on some Asian products before you get them in the west. According to Olympus C-740UZ, the camera was out for the public to buy in 2003, the same year I took this picture with it, there are no months shown in the article or in its sources. I am the owner of these pictures and tons of others. I own several cameras, and by the way, I have fixed some of my pictures using Adobe photoshop, so the information of my camera may not be available on every picture. I will show you a link to www.flickr.com, showing these same images with copyright protection (all rights reserved) under my name. I also have many other paintings, several of Hamid Karzai, old historical paintings and real views of Kandahar. That's only if you insist. If you believe I chose a wrong license and can help me fix it to the correct license then that will be fine with me. Anyway, why are you all wanting my pictures deleted from here? I see many pictures uploaded by people on commons, similar ways I uploaded my pictures, and those are not under deletion but mines is because User:Le Behnam made false accusations that I am not the author. Since I produced or created this image on my PC, I believe I should be the author of my work, unless someone has a claim to this. I don't see anyone making a claim to this work, so you people still lack evidence to prove that I am not the rightful owner of this work.--PRTkand 23:52, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- Again, you cannot be the copyright holder of the pictures, because authorship is a status earned by making creative decisions to produce a copyrightable work, and faithfully reproducing a two-dimensional work does not involve such creative decisions. (Similarly, if I take a pen and paper and write down the script for Hamlet, I cannot call myself the author. There is no such thing as "author of a copy.") The only question is whether the copyrightable elements in the pictures (the original paintings) are GFDL-licensed and CC-licensed (unlikely), {{PD-Art}} eligible (in which case the licences must be changed), or copyrighted and non-freely licensed (in which case they would have to be deleted). Actually, it doesn't matter whether you or someone else took the photos, so long as the copyright status of the original works can be determined. —LX (talk, contribs) 05:47, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- Wrong again, this is a picture of a painting that is displayed at a public museum in Kandahar, Afghanistan, for the public to view it and take pictures. I am sure in your country, where ever you live, there is also a public museum for people to go in and take pictures of paintings hanging there. If the paintings that are hanging in the museums had copyright rules then I am absolutely sure that taking pictures of such paintings would not be allowed by the museums in the first place. Example, if I go to a museum in the United States and take pictures of George Washington's paintings, those pictures are considered mines, not of the museum or the government of the United States and or anyone elses. This is the case here, I took these pictures and the copyright to these pictures are totally mines, or to whoever I release my rights to. Since most museums don't restrict the public from taking pictures of paintings that are hanging inside them, well that means that whoever takes a picture of the paintings are given permission to claim copyright to "their own copy" of the paintings, which is in a form of a picture. The person in the painting, Ahmad Shah, who was the King of Afghanistan in 1700s had die over 100 years. So far you have not shown me any rules of commons that explains to me that I cannot upload a picture of a painting. Your argument is based on pure POVs.--PRTkand 14:50, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- Please read en:Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp. Copying a public domain work does not make you the author, and you don't earn any copyright by doing so. Copies of public domain works remain in the public domain, and if the original work is indeed in the public domain, claiming that you hold the copyright of a copy or otherwise attempting to impose copyright or licensing restrictions is a criminal offence in the US under United States Code 17-506(c) and similar laws in other countries. —LX (talk, contribs) 17:20, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- I've read and the court decided in favor of Corel Corp., not in favor of the plaintiff (Bridgeman Art Library), so therefore, that decision supports me here. Although the decision or opinion was rendered in the United States, it does not apply to the laws of Afghanistan. Also, why you showing me laws of the USA when I had already stated I am from Asia? Anyway, you are trying to change the main subject, my "pictures" to the original paintings. I've never claimed to be the "author" of the paintings, which is something I can't be because the author's (artist's) signature (Tapand) is marked on the paintings. The original paintings are perhaps the property of Kandahar Museum in Afghanistan, and they do not have a policy to restrict photographs of these paintings because they allow the public to view and make personal photographs of them. I claimed to be the "copyright holder of these pictures" that I uploaded to Commons, which were taken of unknown paintings by unknown artist. This is what the license on Commons asks for, nothing else. Lets make it simple, show me proof that these pictures or images are somebody elses, otherwise no need to make false accusations.--PRTkand 19:57, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete The uploader shall provide proof. Besides, there is something fishy about the EXIF tag on the third image. I have provided sources (including an Asian source directly from the manufacturer!) that indicate that this camera model was not available at the date the EXIF data claims the picture was taken. Lupo 07:50, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Here is my proof showing that I am the copyright holder to these pictures ---->>>PRTkand's pictures. I, the uploader, provided convincing evidence to prove that I am the copright holder to all these pictures, yet nobody made any claims to the ownership of my pictures. I am unessary disturbed for no reason, probably due to someone who dislike me because I tell the truth. Also, the dates when pictures were actually taken are not always 100% authentic proof because cameras can be set to any date, sometimes purposely and sometimes by mistake, so the dates when a picture was taken cannot ever be 100% correct. It's the first time I ever saw someone arguing over this here.--PRTkand 14:50, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Afghanistan did not ratify the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works so the works are not obliged to be protected by copyright, even though this may be PD old. Madmax32 22:19, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Kept all as PD-Art (although I deleted Image:Ahmed Shah Durrani.JPG as being superseded by Image:Ahmed Shah Durrani.png) .
Lupo's main argument is incorrect. If a camera is relased in May 2003, its setting when you first turn it on will often be January 1, 2003.
I could see no other reason why they should be deleted.

Hi. Replaced speedy delete with delete so I can ask this question. Commenter says it has no freedom of panorama, and is only an image of a trademark. If that were so, I'd agree with the speedy delete. But we have an unusual building here, shot with a shadow that knocks out other details, and a fortuitous combination of blue sky and complementary orange. The sum is totalling something much more than only a logo. Do you agree this store, and lighting is allowed? -Susanlesch 14:34, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep - IMHO the focus of the picture isn't necessarily the Best Buy logo (and we're concerned with copyright issues rather than trademark ones). MECU probably wasn't sure of it which was why he tagged for speedy deletion rather than deleting himsefl. Yonatan talk 16:28, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment While I agree there is more to the image than just the logo, I cannot see this being used other than "this is a Best Buy store" which then would highlight the logo. Especially since the image was cropped from the flickr source to specifically show the Best Buy store and little else. I initially put speedy deletion so that I would get confirmation to my suspicions. Upon further review, the author is from Canada, so it is like the store is in Canada which the freedom of panorama is therefore allowed and my initial deletion request seems moot. MECU≈talk 15:38, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
QuestionHello. When will this image deletion question be resolved? No rush as this is a volunteer effort. Also I would ask Mecu, why did this one of a Best Buy store come up for speedy delete yet this image of a Target store did not? Thanks for any information. -Susanlesch 07:39, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

This image was taken by Ms Moorman on the day of the assassination of JFK. As far as I know, unlike some other famous pictures taken than day (such as Image:Hudson Exh1-Willis20-183.jpg), this one was never published in the Warren Report or the HSCA Report, so no "governement work" copy of this picture should exist under PD. I may be wrong, but I scanned again the WC and HSCA documents that are available online, and no copy of the Moorman polaroïd seems to have been included therein. I can also not find any kind of declaration by Ms Moorman allowing for th use of her picture under PD.

- An interesting discussion is going on the Wikipedia regarding evidence of a potential public health hazard. It has been proposed there by me and a couple of other editors that we put a mandatory start button on blinking/flashing images, so that epileptics can decide on if they want to expose themselves to the hazard or not. That would be fine for images with an educational purpose. But, for an image which serves simply as salad dressing it may ruin its aesthetic value. That value will also be ruined if we reduce the blinking rate down to less than 3Hz. Isn't it wiser to delete the image than to painstakingly create a version useless for all purpose?

This file was uploaded with info from the en.wiki version of this image [98]. However the original uploader says he found the file on it.wikipedia under the same filename. The image does not exist on it.wikipedia under that filename and the it.wikipedia deletion log has no entry for this image [99].

Aren't images from second life copyrighted? --Kameraad Pjotr 19:19, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- Linden Lab allows users to own the rights to anything they create in Second Life; see [101]. Each of the avatars was probably created by a different user, but they're relatively incidental; if User:Frankzweers created the avatar and the garden, I think it should be okay. --Davepape 20:13, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- I made the picture myzelf. It is a portrait of my own Avatar. It is correct that Linden Lab allows the use of images made by users. They don't copyright those images. —the preceding unsigned comment is by Frankzweers (talk • contribs)
- Then there are two things that should be mentioned:
- There should be an extralicence for pictures of second life (maybe an extra category)
- What is the exactly relevance of those pictures?
For me it isn't a problem at all that those pictures get uploaded, but I'm not sure if there will be many people who want to upload their character on seond life - which is (again:) no problem for me at all. I only carry obout the useage of this pictures
- --D-Kuru 22:04, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- Then there are two things that should be mentioned:
- In Wikipedia there where no pictures of Second Life. Only a lot of text. With my pictures I hope to give a better insight of Second Life to Wikipedia users. If you search Flickr you will find lots of SL images.
- That attitude sounds good to me, but that's not the crucial point.
- What I'm worried about is that everybody wants to upload his character, because of "He also is allowed to". No more, not less.
- --D-Kuru 22:51, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep The engine of Second life is GPL, and the copyright of the avatars belong to their owners. I created {{Second life}} some time ago for this purpose. This image seems also to be fit the project scope. -- Bryan (talk to me) 19:00, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- Kuru,
I don't see the problem in more uploads of SL pictures. Everybody will contribute something else. Just as irl. And Wiki Commons is not about judging pictures. It is a judge-free collection of Media (see Commons:Welkome). Or did I mistake the purpose? Frankzweers 23:12, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- Maybe it looks like, but I don't judge that picture ^^
quotation:"For me it isn't a problem at all that those pictures get uploaded"- It's still not a problem for me and - from my ppoint of view - I didn't judge that picture, because I said I'm worried about something.
- Because there is a a licence tag for second life pictures, I would say that you can remove the {{self|GFDL}} licence.
- The next question is under which category we should categorise the Category:Second Life. I think the best category would be Category:Video games, because somebody renamedCategory:Computer games.
- --D-Kuru 06:39, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
- No, you should not remove the {{self|GFDL}} tag. As it is written on the template: Note: this is not a copyright tag. Additionally a free license for the object shown is required!. Category:Second_Life can probably be created using an include in {{Second Life}} -- Bryan (talk to me) 20:31, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Reasons for deletion request Spellcast 17:43, 23 May 2007 (UTC) Flickr user not the copyright holder. A previous image added on commons from the same flickr user has been deleted: Image:Rihanna.jpg by an admin. Deletion log says image was from Getty images. Spellcast 17:43, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- Arrrrgh! In the first photo in the set, it's credited to the AP, but it's not listed on any subsequent pages. However, almost all of the images are titled IMG_#### which suggests that they haven't been modified much since coming out of the camera, if at all (and they still have the EXIF data in them too). The Flickr user is Gamerscore Blog, which is made up of members of Microsoft's Games Global Marketing team, so it's possible that they obtained the images from the AP photographer. I've written an email to them to clarify. Hold off on deletion for at least a week. If I don't hear from by then, I guess we'll just have to assume these are AP photos. If I hear from them later, I can always undelete the image... Man, and I was so happy to find great a CC-BY-SA licensed pic of Kobe too. howcheng {chat} 19:11, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I just hope they had permission to obtain all the images on that flickr account because there's many other good images. We'll just have to wait and see. Gotta love copyright laws :P Spellcast 14:02, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

no proof this image was published in 1922, although it's possible this was taken when she became first lady of wyoming (ie. 1922), also possible copyright was not renewed but again, no proof of that either -- Yonatan talk 16:59, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- This link says it's a public domain photo, per the website this was obtained from. I would be surprised if Wyoming renewed copyright; while possible it seems rather unlikely. Almost certainly PD-US, given its common occurrence around the web and the link I mentioned. If it is deleted, it should be restored on en-wiki and marked as fair use at the very least. Carl Lindberg 05:54, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep unless it is shown the image is in the copyright registry. Remember in this case one must prove the negative (an onerous task!) so the burden should be reversed, ie showing that the image is in fact in the registry. Although I think it is probably not a 1922 photo, so the current license is not correct. -Nard 10:26, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

- Keep It is a simple and objective illustration free of artiness and it could have been photographed anywhere yesterday. FWIW everything in Wikimedia that is provided free is "gratuitous", and using that as pretext to attack this particular image seems due to the censorous POV of the objector (who has studied multiple sketches of fellatio already!) rather than any genuine encyclopedic concern.84.210.139.189 12:26, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- No it is not censorship, anonymous user from Norway, but the fact that this is not supposed to be a pornography host and fails to warn potential viewers of such graphic content, this must be stopped. Also go and get yourself an account, we don't count anonymous opinions here Madmax32 18:10, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- Madmax32, thank you bothering to locate me, you are correct that I live in Norway and FWIW you can keep an eye on me at Wikipedia where I am "cuddlyable3". Here I am just a voter that you may count or discount as you wish. I labelled the objector's POV "censorous", which is of course my POV, but nowhere do I see censorship mentioned. However you seem to bring exactly the language of censorship ("This must be stopped!") to this discussion, and very outdated language at that. If you still think that viewers who have a right to objective information need their eyes shielded from encountering this graphic, and keep posting as zealously as you have done here, then you may find some support, but these are people who should consider which century - 19th 20th or 21st - they are living in. One other thing: you are not the boss of me.84.210.139.189 18:20, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

- thanks for pointing that out, it should be deleted as well. Let me put it this way are the admins here willing to accept responsibility when wikipedia is banned by libraries and schools worldwide (as well parental filters), because most adult websites are, and you are hosting explicit photographs and sketches of sexual acts. Madmax32 00:53, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- I don't want to worry you too much, but en-WP and commons are full of porn. These 2 photos are only tip of the iceberg. Here are more examples: child porn, BDSM porn, a lot of photos of penises and vulvas, etc. etc...
- Keep Strong keep. I see no reason for deletion. Good enought and better than most sketchs. --Nolanus ✉ (C | E) 22:43, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - No reason to have it. It only promotes further uploads of the same image by other editors who will think that their image is "better" than what is being used. Animated images fix this, as you don't see animated people arguing about which is looking the best. It will only bread other images like poeple taking pictures of themselves having anal sex, vaginal sex, masturbation, etc. Which will itself cause people to fight over who is doing it the best. It isn't censoring when you opt to use animated images. Censoring would be not allowing images of the act at all, or doing a black bar over the "offending" area to protect younger readers. What this is doing is keeping camera happy editors from clicking away at their privates, or the privates of others in an effort to have their junk on Wikipedia. Bignole 00:37, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- Bignole, I have contributed some animated images (on other subjects) and can assure you that people like me do argue sometimes about which is best. You draw some fine distinctions about what is and is not censorship, but what I see in your scary apocalyptic vision of anarchic mayhem is simply the CHILLING effect of censorship.

Gentilissimo Sig. G. Dallorto,
pur riconoscendo che la legge in Italia non ammette la pubblicazione di foto panoramiche, debbo sottolineare il mio dispiacere nel non poter pubblicare una foto di un'opera che altrimenti non verrebbe valutata nella sua pienezza e per come rapresenta la città di Pescara.
Pertanto, confermo che, nel rispetto della legge, toglieremo la foto dal sito italiano, consentendoci la libertà di mantenere la pubblicazione della stessa in quelle enciclopedie di altri paesi in cui tale legge non ha vigore, sempre nel rispetto delle leggi del luogo.
Consideriamo di fatto la foto rappresentativa della Città di Pescara, un elemento che sarebbe un peccato dover eliminare del tutto.
RngraziandoLa, Le porgo i miei più

No indication of copyright holder, no way to establish the fact that the copyright to this image has expired. -- Iamunknown 05:12, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm. The source page indicates the image was taken from one of two books; one was a compilation of NY Times articles from 1915-1922, and the other was a 1968 book by James Nazer, The First Genocide of the 20th Century: The Story of the Armenian Massacres in Text and Pictures (T & T Publishing: 1968). Determining the actual photo author is probably impossible, though it would be good to check those books if possible to see if they have further source information. This may qualify for {{Anonymous work}}. Carl Lindberg 04:15, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
- Ooh, thanks for that source (I missed it :-(), I'll check at the local University library. --Iamunknown 04:48, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

- From that page: "The Armenian Genocide in the U.S Archives, 1915 - 1918 Available From the National Archives and the Library of Congress - the most comprehensive documentation in the world on the Armenian Genocide." Great! Thanks for the additional info, Artaxiad. I tried a brief search in the library but found nothing ... I'll try again tomorrow. I just wish I could find more information about the photographer. --Iamunknown 05:19, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete probably taken by Armin T. Wegner (1886-1978) Madmax32 23:00, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- The book author would not have owned copyright; that is not an issue. The national archives typically have public domain material, so very little of what comes from there is a copyright violation. This picture is PD in the U.S. as it was published prior to 1923, which is why the book could use it. If the photo is by an Armenian though, the copyright there would last 50 years past his death. Interestingly, if it was published anonymously, the copyright would only last for 50 years past publication, and if at that point the author was still unknown it would be completely PD (all this according to Armenian copyright law). Also NPOV is not a reason for deletion, unless the photo or caption itself is an unsubstantiated accusation. I don't know how it's likely that Wegner took this; apparently the U.S. embassy took in lots of photographs at the time. Do you have information on this specific photograph being from him? It would be best to see what credits (if any) are in that book, or what NARA has. Unfortunately NARA's information may not be online; their web page says about half of their material is listed in ARC and only a small fraction of that has online images. If the author is unknown, then it is PD. Carl Lindberg 14:44, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- The only problem, Carl Lindberg, is that the National Archives (NARA) has no pictures of the Armenian genocide, neither does the library of congress, the only photos I could find in Loc were of a US diplomatic mission by the US army to armenia, which has no photos of any atrocities. If anyone can prove me wrong, go right ahead and post some links, I realize not all the national archives stuff is available online, but I couldn't find any record numbers, these seem to be falsified sources to me. Madmax32 21:36, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- Contacting the Library of Congress would be a good move. Their collection is not fully digitized. Anyone know how to contact them? --Iamunknown 22:46, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- They must have some, as they made an exhibit on it in 2000. The vast majority of the Library of Congress' holdings are not available online, not even the catalog records unfortunately (their FAQ says only items catalogued since 1980 are definitely available, and presumably these photos would predate that). Carl Lindberg 04:03, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
- After some further research I found out that The Armenian Genocide in the U.S Archives, 1915 - 1918 is a microfiche collection [112] published in 1994, however this seems to be a collection of documents rather than photographs.
"Chadwyck-Healey Publishes Guide to Armenian Genocide Documents in U.S.. Archives
With the release of the Guide to The Armenian Genocide in the U.S. Archives, 1915-1918 on April 24, 1994, the publishing firm of Chadwyck-Healey, Inc. announced the completion of this significant project which now furnishes a comprehensive collection of the documents related to the subject of the Armenian genocide found in the United States National Archives and the Library Congress.
The publication includes documents on the Armenian genocide from seven record groups in the United States National Archives: Record Group 59, "Records of the Department of State," 1910-1929 - specifically the files concerned with "Internal Affairs of Turkey," "American Consular Offices," "Protection of U.S. Interests in Turkey," "Claims against Turkey," and "Political Relations between Armenia and Other States" - Record Group 84, "Department of State, Consular Post Records"; Record Group 38, "Chief of Naval Operations, Intelligence Division, Naval Attache Reports," 1880-1939; Record Group 165, "(War Dept. General and Special Staffs) War College Divison, General Correspondence," 1903-1919; Record Group 256, "American Commission to Negotiate Peace, Inquiry Documents" (Special Reports and Studies) 1971-1919 and "General Records of the American Commission to Negotiate Peace," 1918-1931; and Record Group 200, "Records of the American Red Cross," 1881-1961, 1917-1934. From the Library of Congress, the two collections examined were "The Papers of Henry Morgenthau, Sr.," and the "Woodrow Wilson Papers." Madmax32 12:04, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

- Gentlemen, I have drawn this image myself as I have drawn many images of ribbons and battons.The weak point in an image like this is that it does not look realistic enough because the same pattern is repeated over and over again. The colour is allmost correct though and that is what counts. Robert Prummel 21:00, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
other examples, the Cambodian ribbon is the same technique but has been repeated dozens of times, are:
The results vary. Sometimes I take a lot of time.Sometimes I am in a hurry.If the image is larger I have to bring in more details. Now I will show you an image that took several hours because every stitch was individualy drawn.
If you look carefully you will notice a few leftover beeds at the bottom of the picture.Robert Prummel 21:22, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, so you took a picture of the ribbons or drew them yourself? It sounds a little bit confusing. Could you please add some more information then to the images (where taken if photo, when exactly, date, etc.) so that confusion can be avoided in future. Thank you. Gryffindor 21:49, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
- Sometimes I select a colour from a painting or picture. It need not be the same object but the shade and colour have to be just right. Sometimes I magnify a ribbon of a knight's cross in my own extensive collection (200+ medals and stars) and draw a commanders ribbon.Sometimes I use just one of the colours bcause it is the right one and I combine it.Fabrics and wallpapers provide a lot of colours. The coffins in my drawing of the Dutch royal vaults are lined in lead taken from a picture of a garden ornament.The mahogany of other coffins comes from old furniture. I use a very small sample of a colour, magnify and mirror it again and again and combine it with a pattern of lines of a lighter or darker shade as shown in the picture. Part of a stone of the facade of Versailles was magnified and editet to make a tile of the right colour. This small tile was used again and again to make a tiled floor in the vault. If I would use just basic colours the picture would be very dull, it is silk, wood or stone after all!

- Your reading is flawed. The owner of the site informs the authors that he hosts them on the understanding that they may be altered by him as he thinks fit. In other words, it's a precondition for their publication. You fail to demonstrate how this claim runs contrary to the assertion contained in the template: "grants full permission to use any image from the site, provided that a reference to the source is given". You should prove that the webhost does not "grant full permission to use any image from the site" before your "request for deletion" is considered seriously. --Ghirlandajo 12:58, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
- The free use is permitted clearly, but not der.works. Now we have got some problems with such permission. The {{Kremlin.ru}}, which was deleted not long ago, had same (or similar) problem.
- The situation with commercial use is also disputed. There is not clearly information about it in terms. The {{Kremlin.ru}} had same (or similar) problem. The {{MosNews}}, which is still being discussed, had same (or similar) problem in some users' opinions.
- You should prove... - I should not. I has tried such trick on Kremlin.ru-discussion, but it was failed. As we can see at named discussions, the licenses with unclear terms can be deleted as default, and voters should prove the free (commons-suitable) status of license for keep-decision.

- As I understand it, the Russian copyright law has an atavism of a nanny state: it states that if the agreement should be in the best interests of the author. Thus, theoretically an author who changed his or her mind about the creative commons license can argue in court that he did not received any advantages from signing the creative commons license; thus is was null and void from the very beginning. I am not aware if somebody have actually tested this in court.

- Information I have received Email from the owner of the site Ilya Kulagin. He agrees that the photos can be used commercially and modified, but requests that references to his site autotravel.org.ru are manadatory. Fragments from his E-mail:
- Полагаю, обмен информации на рекламу (в частности - фотографии на ссылку) есть дело абсолютно взаимовыгодное, и, надеюсь, никакой юрист не станет доказывать обратное.
- I think that exchange information on advertisement (e.g. photograph on a reference) is mutually beneficiary and no lawyer would argue with it.
- Коммерческое использование, на мой взгляд, не отличается от некоммерческого. И тут никаких иных тонкостей нет, нам интересны посетители, а заплатили они предварительно деньги за "членство в закрытом клубе неясно чего", за компакт-диск, или только за договор с провайдером услуг связи (не правда ли, ведь в Сети людям интересна тоже информация, а не сам по себе ip-траффик) - это не должно нас касаться.
- Commercial use, in my opinion, is not different from noncommercial. There are no subtleties here, we are interested in visitors and whether they payed for a membership, compact disk, etc. is not our business.
- Иное дело - издание статического контента без ссылок. Здесь действительно неясна наша выгода, а где нет выгоды одной из сторон, соглашение может быть легко признано ничтожным.
- Another things is publishing of a static content without references. Here we do not have any benefits, and if there are no benefits for one of the sides the agreement could be recognized as invalid. (AB - I believe the Atribution tag already handles this, maybe we should emphasize more that a reference to the autravel.org.ru is an absolute must for those materials).
- Модификация однозначно разрешается и если я про это не написал недвусмысленно, то только по небрежению и сие, конечно, надо исправить...
- Modification is certainly allowed and if I have not stated it it then it was my oversight that I will fix.

ja Deletion requests --Jnn 05:43, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep No reason is shown by the requester in this request. Deletion request in Japanese Wikipedia does not mean anything until it is actually deleted. Even if it is deleted in jawp, some images can be kept onto Commons (typical examples are CreativeCommons images). Yassie 06:15, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Strongly 1. Discussion on jawp is still proceeding and nothing is decided. 2. This image does not violate any laws of Japan. 3. Similar images exist on commons (cf. Image:Kiss.jpg, Image:You may now kiss the bride.jpg) and are used on many projects. There is no reason why only the requested image should be deleted. --端くれの錬金術師 06:41, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Reopen following Commons:Undeletion requests, unclear on what grounds it was speedy deleted. / Fred J 15:13, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete No source information. The author is unknown. Additionaly, low quality. Tietew 05:47, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Low quality, dubious condition of copyright and privacy right, and not usable for our projects. --Kinori 02:50, 7 June 2007 (UTC) It was deleted in ja.--Kinori 19:55, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- Comment First, copyright status is clear. The original uploader says it is self-made, so it is self-made, unless true original author other than the uploader appears and/or the link to the original image is shown. Second, Commons is not jawp. Regardless it has been deleted in jawp or not, this image does not fall under any of Commons' Deletion Policy. It is obvious that nobody shall even try to delete images/files that does not fall under Deletion Policy of the project, even if it is deleted in other project(s). Yassie 03:42, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- Comment "Copyright status is clear" is yassie's opinion. At least 4 users expressed suspicion in jawp. Japenese speakers recognize that the original contributer's comment lacks seriousness. '自分' is 'I' but rest characters are meaningless. We can't know if 'I' is the photographer or the object or both. It caused the suspicion about copyright. And under Japanese privacy precedents, this photo needs at least two persons' permissions but we only read contributer's '自分'. And others 6 (include me) said it is a mischief and/or not usable. Total votes are delete 10 vs keep 7 so it was deleted. Here commons Yassie uploaded for the purpose of escaping ja's deleting process. In this way he excessively complicated and prolonged the process. The original uploader in jawp contributed only one this image, and have never answered to any questions. He inserted it to two pages and left. One page was protected after many reverts. The other shows it still now, supported by minority opinion and IP's stubborn revert. I know Yassie holds very critical view to the policy and practice of Japanese Wikipedia. Though I don't dare to criticize his principle, I beg not to ignore other people's opinion. Obviously 'Not usable' and 'Low quality' are commons deleting policy. --Kinori 18:26, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- Comment All the above is nothing but Kinori's opinion as well. In addition, Commons is not Japanese Wikipedia. Yassie 21:54, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- CommentAll 6 voters here are known as Japanese wikipedians. And 5 except Tietew already voted in the jawp's deleting process. And Jnn, Tietew and I are sysops of Japanese Wikipedia. This is a deleting process of Commons but practically an extention of jawp's one at the same time. Jawp's stuffs recognize the difference between commons and wikipedia, so recommending to move to commons in some cases. But this case is not a divisoin of labor but an evasion from one project to another. I presented multiple reasons why this file should be deleted on our (commons) policy, and next explained the dicision of jawp community. Now I want to say that our difference becomes reason of cooperative action, not of rivality to embarass each other. --Kinori 02:29, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
- Comment So, who decides "not usable"? How about "low quality"? Source information? The original uploader says it is self-made, so it is self-made. All the reasons Kinori has presented are nothing but his/her opinion -- his/her POV -- rather than factual reasons. Again, Commons is not Japanese Wikipedia. This does not fall under any of Commons' deletion policy, so this image shall be kept on Commons. Period. Yassie 08:16, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
- Keep No reason to be deleted. And there's no persuading arguments in Wikipedia:削除依頼/画像:Chu.JPG, seems the admin just followed the majority rule without any idea.--Kareha 04:08, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
- Keep No reason to delete it. --TwoWings (jraf) * Wanna talk? ;-) 14:58, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Nothing wrong. (IP addresses can vote, right?) 67.150.168.96 22:46, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- This is not a vote. Anyone can argument for or against, but this is not a vote.
- Deleted. Many of those who speak Japanese have expressed their concern that the original uploader isn't the photographer. What is significant is that the image has the most typical telltales of a copyvio image: small size (but good quality), no EXIF data and the contributor can't or doesn't even try to explain where, why, and how they took the photo. Further still there are serious privacy issues. Samulili 05:35, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

- The image is presenting plainly wrong facts. It is not showing west germany in the borders of 1949-1990, but 1957-1990 (Saar area). Berlin was neither part of west germany, like indicated by the coloring - in fact it looks like whole Berlin belonged to west germany, where the eastern part was not de jure but de facto part of eastern germany. De jure both were something sui generis. I don't know how to change the graphic so that it is correct, not displaying to much extra borders and footnotes, and still delivering the artistic idea.
- Comment used in more than twenty Wikipedias; much better would be to correct under the same name, than to delete. Julo 18:10, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
- Hm...keeping a factual wrong image because it is widely used? -- Sorry, doesn't work for me. The image as is is painful. I don't know how to change it so it is simple enough for an illustration yet accurate. It transport a primitive idea (2 [should be 3!] parts -> 1 part). It is not even showing the geographical position. - As it is the picture should be deleted asap just BECAUSE it is used in more than twenty wikipedias.

- Although in Italy the "Freedom of panorama" does not apply, we could accept your objection anyway, but in this case we still had the problem with this detail of the museum, which is patently built as a work of architecture, and is too recent for having been built by an architect dead for at least 70 years... (on the Net I found that it was built by a "Studio Gregotti e associati" in 2004: please correct me if I am wrong.) --User:G.dallorto 21:00, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- In 2004 the building was only restructured, in the past it was a monastery (see Galleria d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Bergamo). --Luigi Chiesa 21:24, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Yes, but the current aspect is what you see, and it is it that is copyrighted. If you publish a sketch of the ancient monastery as it was before restauration, then you will be allowed to do it. You may like or dislike, but this is the Italian law. It was approved by Silvio Berlusconi. You may like or dislike it, and him, but he was the legitimate Prime Minister and he had the power to do it. If the law is wrong, as I think it is, it should be changed. While in process of changing it, pictures that break it must be deleted, though. Sorry. --User:G.dallorto 13:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- Does Italian copyright law actually protect buildings from being depicted? (If this is true, we'll have to go through Category:Buildings in Italy and delete all photos of recently constructed buildings.) In most countries, even where freedom of panorama does not exist to permit depiction of sculptures and other works of art which are permanently located in a public place, buildings may be freely depicted. —LX (talk, contribs) 20:35, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Please refer to http://www.interlex.it/testi/l41_633.htm : "In particolare sono comprese nella protezione: (omisiss) 5) i disegni e le opere dell'architettura;" ("both architectural drawings and buildings".) Yes they are, then. :-( Deleting pictures (including my own) of all recently built buildings in Italy is in fact what I am doing, although I hope I will not have to repeat this same discussion for each one of the hundreds of pictures that should be deleted, please... --User:G.dallorto 11:42, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Taken from here. No indication there that this is a work of the US government. -- Rosenzweig 17:02, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
- It isn't. The photo was taken by Milner Moshe on September 25, 1969. See The State of Israel - National Photo Collection, item #011496, picture code D701-116. Milner Moshe apparently was an Israeli photographer working for the Israeli Government. Copyright is either held by the Israeli Government or Milner Moshe.[117] Thus: Delete Lupo 20:28, 28 May 2007 (UTC) (The UWM's © claim is nonsense in view of the Bridgeman case, though.)

These photographs are derivative works of copyrighted sculptures located in the USA where freedom of panorama law does not apply to such objects (see Commons:Derivative works) --JeremyA 22:55, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Unfortunately, this is the case. --Delirium 00:04, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- But this is not a US artist! He is French! Does this mean I can purchase something in one country, take it somewhere else where different copyright law holds, and now make different laws valid for this? I find this absurd. --WiseWoman 06:44, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- These sculptures are located in the United States and these reproductions were made in the United States (unless you have a very long camera lens). The Wikimedia servers are also located in the United States so publishing a photo on the Commons is publishing it in the United States. The United States is a signatory to the Berne Convention, as such it is required to recognise the copyright of works of authors from other signatory countries (including France) in the same way it recognises the copyright of its own nationals. With sculptures of this nature it is also very likely that a copyright has been registered in the US. Unfortunately freedom of panorama in the US does not apply to sculptures. —JeremyA 22:50, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Is Image:DRAMap.png really PD ? Following their main page, it is said that « All articles, maps and charts are copyright protected and may not be duplicated without permission of their authors. », so this map lacks that authorization, either with an OTRS # or a mail.

- Keep This object is under open air, seems to be public domain using panorama freedom rules. It is not a work of art, just simple educational presentation. Julo 16:36, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- Please make your mind: either it's {{PD-ineligible}} and we don't have to worry about copyright, or it is and we consider FOP exception aplicability. A.J. 11:09, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- Freedom of panorama exception in Polish art states, that one cannot use work of art "for the same purposes". This is a reproduction of 2D work, so it is used for the same purpose. Delete A.J. 12:25, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- That is not what COM:FOP#Poland says. Could you please update that page, if you are correct? Otherwise, Commons must follow this guideline and Keep the image. / Fred J 16:43, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
- The catch is provided that the propagation is not for the same use. And what uses may be for text and ilustrations reproduced on this photo apart from describing birds in Park Białowieski? My IANAL opinion is that phrase "the same use" is not limited to "make copy of this presentation and put in on open-air" - I doubt we could put this in Wikipedia article.

- Little gem from Flickrball: This image was originally posted to Flickr as PokEBall. I then cropped it. It's current status clearly shows that it is licensed as CC-BY-SA-2.0. Anyway it's a PokeBall from Pokemon. (Derivated works of such are not copyrighted by Nintendo.).
- At the request of Geniice, I've removed Image:Poké Ball.svg now. -- Drini 22:04, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- The question is if this is even a Pokeball (i'm referring to the first image here). It's not white on the bottom side, but blue, and the whole design is so simple it seems pretty ineligible for copyright to me.

Specially Portal Poké logo (which is the logo used for Portal Pokémon, since we can't use the Pokémon logo), the Nuvo!a balls and Poké Ball icon. They are still fan-arts, but if we don't have those images, then our work would be lost in non Fair-Use Wikipedia. I ask reflection of this point of view for you. The balls are the most important thing in the Pokémon articles in Wikipedia. For the Pokémon.com terms of use. It only states it is forbidden to copy text and images from the website.

[edit]and all the images therein. (See below. Lupo 07:01, 30 May 2007 (UTC) Kandinsky died 1944, so his works are copyrighted until 2014 in 70 years p.m.a. countries. Delete Lupo 09:22, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- Note to uploaders: Paintings made by Kandinsky while he lived in Germany are protected by copyright until 2014 (life of author + 70 years). Those made in France have longer protection due to extra years granted to compensate the world wars. It says so on commons, and all of these are made in France, so PD. --Edgar Allan Poe 09:42, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- You misread: "Those made in France have longer protection". Lupo 09:55, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- In 1914-1921 he lived in Russia. Suppose that for pictures of these years will approach the template {{PD-Russia}}, so category to delete not it is necessary. --Yakudza 12:18, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- True, but according to en:Wassily Kandinsky, "he painted little during this period." If the category is kept, the text from Василий Васильевич Кандинский should be copied over to the category page, too. Lupo 13:44, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- He lived in Russia in 1866-1896 and 1914-1921. Works of that period should be considered by the Russian Law and they are in Public Domain. Works of German and French periods seems to be copyrighted. We should check the dates on all the paintings and delete those outside the pale. The category itself is usable and should be kept. Alex Bakharev 14:54, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- All images currently in this category are from his "French period" (1938 and later). Lupo 15:33, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

(He was born in the early 1950s—see his CV: primary school from 1958 - 1965.) It's image #45293 at the USHMM: a 1939 German calendar photo shot by the Conrad studios in Berlin.

- Comment Concerning Image:Atv.jpg: This particular image is available from a NASA source (http://aerospacescholars.jsc.nasa.gov/HAS/cirr/ss/4/5.cfm) and has no copyright or credit notice attached to it. As such it falls under NASA's copyright policy ("This file is in the public domain because it was created by NASA. NASA copyright policy states that "NASA material is not protected by copyright unless noted") as being a free image. Since Wikipedia and Commons consider NASA "free" material to be non-copyrighted and PD, Image:Atv.jpg is to be considered to be a PD image.Dutchsatellites 11:48, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- I doubt it. It wouldn't be the first time that NASA didn't properly credit an ESA image. Unless we find who exactly created the image with a date and a tag or something, I will consider this to be an error by NASA webmasters. (note how there is no ATV image in the nasa image exchange, or KSC media archives and this NASA page http://www.nasaexplores.com/show2_articlea.php?id=03-069, for instance uses an ESA image without proper credit as well as proven by this page http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n0306/17esaatv/ ) TheDJ 11:51, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- Found it I think. original source would be: http://www.esa.int/esaHS/ESA4ZJ0VMOC_iss_1.html most likely. TheDJ 12:14, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- This being your opinion on it I suggest you start tagging lot's of other images on Commons for deletion. There are numerous images here residing under the PD-USGov-NASA license that have origins outside NASA. If the current image is deleted because it falls outside the "NASA license", than many other images on Commons must have the same fate.Dutchsatellites 14:17, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

- Comment Something we should consider looking up is if these "restrictions" are license restrictions, or if they are separate restrictions which are enforced trough some sort of EU law. I say this because basically the same restrictions apply for NASA images, but with NASA images these restrictions are not part of the license, but defined in a seperate law much like Trademarks are. And even though the result for the average user is the same, we handle these kinds of images very different on commons.

- The flag is basically the Soviet flag, except the right half is solid yellow (not a copyrightable change), and the addition of a shovel (more a stock arrow outline) to the hammer and sickle. I'm sure it could be trademarked if the author went that route, but I don't think an outline of an arrow passes as artistic creativity.

Sigmund Romberg files
[edit]I am nominating Image:Sigmund Romberg - Adagio.ogg, Image:Sigmund Romberg - Allegro.ogg, Image:Sigmund Romberg - Minuet.ogg and Image:Sigmund Romberg - Rondo.ogg for deletion because these files are misnamed.

I have created a category and reuploaded the files at category:Bernhard Romberg.

The Kingdom of Yugoslavia was a member of the Berne Convention since 1930.[123] Under article 35 of the BC, this image would thus be and have remained eligible to copyright in other BC countries.

- it was definitely taken before 1939 when he was a general in the Yugoslav army, but you can't prove the author was anonymous, try and find some sources Madmax32 23:04, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

- Well, the pictures in the Yugoslav army were either took by army or government officials so that the autor is in 90% of cases anonymus. Lika any other govermnet pic that was not took or painted by an famous painter, the author is anonymus. And I also searched and I never found a name of the author.
Deleted, because the image has no source at all, it is not possible to say it was made by a photographer in the Yugoslav army. (Poirot, how can we know that it was an "official photograph made in an now non-existin army that has no copyright over the pic"?) Please try and find a reliable source, for example in a book or encyclopedia. Then we can evaluate whether Anonymous-EU really applies. / Fred J 17:57, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Yo, wtf u are talking about your china government copyright (kind a there is no copying in china...)???
"not the U.S." - are u saying that works of the US government aren't copyright protected (as of PRC gov?!?)
"and as such are subject to copyright protection" - by the government of the US or who??
It's a public image - read original upload log, what's wrong if people see this image, moron??
--pavel —the preceding unsigned comment is by 192.75.88.188 (talk • contribs) 03:57, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- Please see the image description pages. I quote, "This image was created by the PRC government." Then look at the licensing information: {{PD-USGov}}, which is for works created by the United States government (which are not subject to copyright protection). At this point it should be obvious that the licensing is wrong. Works by the PRC are copyrighted by the PRC. Thus, we can't use them here. Simple as that. howcheng {chat} 16:07, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Re:
Ok, it's copyrighted by china's government as, probably, anything that china creates is copyrighted by it's government, BUT, does that mean that the image cannot be used here, displayed etc?? I think that there's only an incorrect banner shown about us gov copyright, that's it. Why works by rpc can't be used here??? Just delete your requests man, let people see it in wikipedia instead of going to google and searching it there if they need. Don't act like and asshole
By the way, are u working for rpc gov (in this case I apologize for my comments), or you are simply an asshole who has nothing to do but to protect prc's rigths?

- Chinese copy right law [124] as stated here under article 5 gov't article and current news article are not subject to the copy right law.
Hallo84 11:44, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment My Chinese is terrible but the babel fish translation says:
- Fifth article this law ill uses in: (1) law, the laws and regulations, state agency's resolution, the decision, the order and other have the legislation, administrative, the judicature archery target document, and its official official translation; (2) current event news; (3) calendar, general mathematical table, general form and formula.
- Which suggests to me the normal kind of state PD that many countries have - i.e. 1) laws and judicial documents cannot be copyright. 2) News events - i.e. "In south Beijing today man bites dog" 3) Basic P.D. ineligable documents.
- Now there are two problems with these images: 1. There is no proof that they are actually the work of the Chinese government. 2. The law you cited doesn't suggest that such works are P.D. even if they are the work of the Chinese government. Megapixie 23:03, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
This is a pic from Jie Fang Jun Bao which means PLA news service. i.e. PD from gov't source. The pic was for article covering Bei Jian (Northern Sword) 2005 exercise.
I can't find the original ariticle anymore and really can't be bothered to do so. For future referrence all PLA shots like these are taken by PLA reporters under gov't supervision for gov't news source and public consumption. Generally we can be safe to assume these staged shots to be gov't sponsored shots for the purpose of imporving public relations. No freelance , commercial reporter or individuals are allowed to be this close to an exercise. Hallo84 03:17, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Milanocadorna0001.jpg
From uploader,
I'm sorry to make you be in trouble. This photograph, I own an original photograph, but it is unclear. Then, from the book named "kitakaze iji"(Kitakaze family story),I copied this image. "kitakaze iji"is published in 1st/May 1963,befor the influence of current Japanese cpyright law. I judged it expired from the old Japanese cpyright law's right after 10 years. I have tried to search the auther's relatives, however,I could't find them. The man in the photograph is Shozo Kitakaze, whose descendants don't exist now on earth. I'm from Kitakaze family,but I'm not his descendant. "kitakaze iji"'s auther,Zempei Kita was the descendant of business clerk under Shozo Kitakaze.
Then, please delete this photograph, if you may.I only wanted to inform you,readers, of Kitakaze family.
I'm sorry again. --Jnn 14:58, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

- Please, by all means, delete this image. I tried to create it, and it looks fine in the drawing tool I used, but after loading the text boxes don't appear as they are supposed to. That's why I didn't use the image at the end. So, I urge you to purge it or find someone who is able to make it look alright. The text boxes are in Hebrew, so this might be the problem. Thanks. --E kiv 16:42, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

- By the sculptor of the work of art, unless he gave permission, or unless the laws of the country where it is on public display allow photography under the "freedom of panorama" clause. Italy is not, unfortunately, among these countries. But if the very same work of art were on public display, say, in France or in the UK instead, there would be no counter-indication for it to stay in Wikicommons. --User:G.dallorto 12:35, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

- Yes there is, the European copyright agreement was accepted into Italian law books by Silvio Berlusconi, who onws three TV networks, and several publishing houses and periodicals, and who also rules the main Italian political party. The tighter the copyright is, the more he earns. We have a law, called "Legge Ronchey", giving museums monopoply over images of the works of art they have on display. Ronchey, who proposed the law, was appointed by Silvio Berlusconi. After the law was issued, all catalogues of museums are now published by publisher Electa, which is owned by Mondadori, which is owned by a... Silvio Berlusconi. The CEO of Electa, after Ronchey ceased to be a minister, become a certain mr..... Ronchey. Now you have a clearer view, have you? --User:G.dallorto 13:53, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- Ah, I see — how unfortunate. =( Thanks for the explanation. -Panser Born- (talk) 23:36, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- (Firstly, I think a single joint discussion would be better than hundreds of deletion requests when the issue raised is the same for all images.) You mentioned in another deletion request that buildings are protected by copyright law in Italy. I still wonder if this covers mere depiction of buildings as opposed to replication of the buildings or their drawings. I'd also like to know when the law was ratified, as I find it doubtful that the law would apply ex post facto to works created before it went into effect. Also, is there any case law supporting your view that photography for distribution is effectively banned in urban Italy? —LX (talk, contribs) 20:36, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- In my opinion there is no need for a general discussion since in THIS case the issue is clear. However, if you are interested in a general discussion about the freedom of panroama issue, I saved in my sandbox the long discussion (now closed) from the Village pump on the matter: you find it here. Furthermore, copyright laws may revive copyright ex post, as in the recent extention from 50 to 70 years, that revived copyrights on scores of authors who had fallen into the PD. This is a general principle, internationally valid. Please get some information on copyright laws. Thanks.
- In the "other discussion" you mention, I already gave legal reference and already answered all of your questions: "Please refer to the Italian copyright law : "In particolare sono comprese nella protezione: (omisiss) 5) i disegni e le opere dell'architettura;" ("both architectural drawings and buildings")". The text of the law is explicit: BOTH the drawings and the buildings themselves. So no further discussion is needed. What we need, is simply to change the Italian law. For a discussion about this issue, if you read Italian please refer to the ongoing discussion in the it:Wikipedia here:

- If Italy does not allow FOP, why whould you want to invoke it? We may not custom-tailor our laws to adapt to our needs. We can but change them, if we deem them unjust (as I do) and if we can... --User:G.dallorto 12:41, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- If Wikimedia Commons allows to stay here pictures made in the common acceptation of freedom of panorama (a panorama isn't property of a state or of an architect), why should we follow an unexistent Italian law prohibiting this kind of photos? Italy has a lack of laws in this point, consequently no laws is equal to a deregulation that allows also in Italy the freedom of panorama. Moreover the author of this picture is a British guy. Finally, if we apply rigorously this criterion to all the photos made in Italy, we'll have a tremendous gap between Wiki Commons and Italy, to be added to the serious matter that Italy's concept of Public Domain in this project is not yet recognized. --Grifomaniacs 13:30, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete I agree with the evaluation you write, even if what you say about the law is wrong: the international conventions forbid (binding for Italy too) by default such a use, UNLESS a national law makes an exception. And Italy has not any such laws. So your reasoning does not work. It is not me who made the stupid rules, is the Italian State (Berlusconi... yet another "conflict of interests" of his) and the Wikimedia foundation. We should not discuss here whether these rules are sane or insane, but only if this image may stay here under the rules observed by Commons. My opinion is: unfortunately not. I had to put in the deletion list scores and scores of images of mine I upoloaded before I discovered FOP did not apply to Italy. --User:G.dallorto 19:43, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
