Barış Dayak Logo — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barisdayak (talk • contribs) 16:00, 30 October 2023‎ (UTC)


 Not done procedural close: file is not deleted. However, it probably should be deleted as either the "own" license is not valid or it is out of scope. Ankry (talk) 17:54, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

The undeletion discussion in the following section is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive.

I would like this file to be undeleted. The reasons are as follows:

  • The sections of UK law cited by User:HelenOnline were revoked on 25 May 2018. This can be verified by clicking on the links supplied by the original editor.
  • I believe that the other objection derived from the statement that the Open Government Licence did not cover the display of "personal data in the information" has been misinterpreted. What I believe they are saying is that they are not prohibiting the copying of personal data, but that the rules pertaining to personal data are elsewhere. In the case of this certificate, we should refer to en:WP:BLP. The first Wikipedia rule covers verifiability. There is no question about the verifiability of the personal information on this certificate. The second concerns privacy. In the case of Prince Louis, all the "private information" on the certificate is already in Wikipedia infoboxes, so that falls away.

I submit therefore that all objections to this certificate no longer apply. I suggest that that the licences OGL3 licence tag be used, followed by the text “The information on this certificate is so widely available that privacy rules do not apply. Martinvl (talk) 22:15, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

  • In the last few minutes, I copied it from that source. The result was a .png, not a .jpg file. I can upload that quite happily, but before I do that, I need consensus as to whether or not I should blank out the deputy-registrar's signature. Martinvl (talk) 17:14, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

✓ Done: @Martinvl: Please edit the file, and tell us when you are done. --Yann (talk) 15:55, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

@Yann: I have amended the image and have updated the licene text to reflect the assistant registrar's possible interest in the copyright and subsequent blanking out of their name. Martinvl (talk) 18:23, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello there!

This file was uploaded by Lauris Reiniks's publishing company and management. We own all rights to this image and consent its being here on Wikipedia. Please undelete this photo file! Thank you!

Sincerely, Lauris Reiniks Managagement / Microphone Records (MicRec)--Rigaonline (talk) 14:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

 Oppose request should follow the instructions from COM:VRT. The image should only be undeleted after we obtain an explicit permission from the photographer. Günther Frager (talk) 14:37, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) Oppose The file description shows "Photo by Bradford Rogne Photography 2023". Celebrity photo licenses usually allow the celebrity to use the photo in publicity but do not allow them to freely license it. Therefore, in order to restore the image here, either Bradford Rogne must send a free license using VRT or someone else must send a free license together with a copy of the written agreement from Rogne allowing that person to freely license the image.


Note that "consent its being here on Wikipedia." is inadequate. WP and Commons require that images be free for any use by anybody anywhere.


Also note that claiming {{Own}} when you were not in fact the photographer, as you did here, is a serious violation of Commons rules. If you do it again you may be blocked from editing here. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:40, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

@Rigaonline: Wikimedia accounts are strictly personal regardless whether you are authorised to enter copyright contracts on behalf of Lauris Reiniks's publishing company or not. Unless you have a contract with the photographer where he declares that he wishes to be attributed as User:Rigaonline, your authorship claim at upload (repeated at reupload) is violation of the photographer moral rights. Ankry (talk) 16:03, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

I don't agree on the closing admin's decision. I find it hasty and without properly scrutinizing the deletion process. Like they did here on [File:Jason Fernandes Entrepreneur (cropped).jpg]. If I can get a much appropriate and helpful reply, it'll be appreciated. I just want to know on what proper grounds were these files deleted? Rejoy2003(talk) 12:12, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

 Oppose As noted in the DR, when an image has been published elsewhere, policy requires that the uploader prove its copyright status using VRT or otherwise. I also find your inability to remember why you did not use your particular camera hard to believe. I also see a number of images claimed to be {{Own}} which have been deleted as copyvios. While we are prepared to Assume Good Faith, that goes away rapidly with such things. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:03, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Just to let you know, the source mentioned of the Rolling stone, has a cropped version of my image. Whereas I had the full version, who do you think is more likely to have a copyvio issue here now? Rejoy2003(talk) 15:18, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
@Rejoy2003: An earlier publication attributed to someone else than the Wikimedia uploader establishes a significant doubt as per COM:PCP. So we require a clear evidence of free license granted by an identifiable licensor in such cases in order to minimize risk for potential reusers. Cropped or not, the photos are the same work so their copyright holder must also be the same. Ankry (talk) 11:59, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

This file has been removed due to copyright infringement. But in fact, this photo belongs to the Minister of Strategic Industries Oleksandr Kamyshyn and is posted on his official website (I am adding a link: https://mspu.gov.ua/en/persons/oleksandr-kamyshin ). I work in the press service of this Ministry, and we were the customers of the photo shoot where this photo was taken. Therefore, I ask you to restore this photo on the Wikipedia pages in all languages. Thank you for your understanding. 01.11.2023 Krizhinka (talk) 12:57, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

 Comment This was claimed as {{Own}} rather than a work of a Ministry of Ukraine. Abzeronow (talk) 16:25, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
 Oppose The source link above comes up as a blank page. The image appears without a free license at https://ubn.news/arms-should-become-ukraines-main-export-product/. In view of the fact that you falsely claimed that you were the actual photographer when you uploaded the image, it is difficult to believe you now. In order for the image to be restored, either (a) the actual photographer must send a free license using VRT or (b) you must send a free license together with a copy of the written agreement giving you the right to freely license the image. .     Jim . . .

Одной из причин запроса на восстановление изображения постера фильма "Пять ночей у Фредди" из Википедии является ошибка в старом переведенном постере. Ошибка заключается в том, что буква "С" стоит вместо буквы "У" в названии фильма. Это может быть причиной недоразумений и неправильного идентифицирования фильма, особенно для тех, кто не знаком с оригинальным английским названием. Восстановление изображения постера с исправленной ошибкой поможет предоставить точную информацию о фильме и избежать путаницы. --Yuda 131 (talk) 16:13, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello, this image was deleted by the user Krd with the reason "No license since 18 February 2023". However, on 18 February 2023 I explained: the source is "East Hall blog - https://web.archive.org/save/http://easthall.blog.jp/archives/31532108.html ". I don't know where they got the photo from, but it was made in 1917. "This photograph is in the public domain in Japan because its copyright has expired according to Article 23 of the 1899 Copyright Act of Japan ... It was published before January 1, 1957. It was photographed before January 1, 1947." So it should be allowed. -Artanisen (talk) 11:11, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

@Artanisen: You provided no evidence for the declared {{PD-old-70-expired}} copyright status template. The provided source also contains no such evidence. While this photo seems to be PD in Japan per creation date, its copyright status in US in unclear. Anonymous photos from Japan are generally PD 120 years after creation or 95 years after initial publication. They may be PD earlier, if published before 2.3.1989: then their copyright status depends on copyright status in Japan on 1.1.1996 (URAA date). As you can see, the initial publication date may be crucial here as 120 years since creation did not expire, yet. Ankry (talk) 11:45, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

 Support This shows Kantarō Suzuki as a Vice Admiral. Ranks of the Imperial Japanese Navy confirms the sleeve markings of a Vice Admiral in this photo. He held that rank from June 1, 1917 until August 3, 1923. He was later a full Admiral and then, in 1945, Prime Minister of Japan.

The photo shows the moire pattern characteristic of a halftone, so it was almost certainly published. Given his importance, it is unlikely that a photo from 1917-23 would have been published after he was promoted, so I think we are safe in assuming this is PD in the USA from publication before 1928. .     Jim . . .

The images of the scientific author were deleted as "out of scope" despite one being in-use. We encourage authors to submit images. The author has a valid Wikidata page with an VIAF, ResearchGate, and LCCN entry. The images of book covers and flags can remain deleted. See Sharon Fair. --RAN (talk) 04:33, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

@Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ):

  1. Do you want to reopen the DR providing new arguments? Or do you mean something else? We are not here to override community decisions.
  2. Why low resolution image File:Dr. Sharon Fair 2023.03.14 WDI-USA Demonstration.png (Dr. Sharon Fair speaking at WDI-USA's International Women's Day demonstration in St. Augustine, Florida on March 12, 2023) is in scope? The abovementioned Wikidata item in my opinion does not meet Wikidata notability criteria (if I am wrong, please, explain why it does). Moreover, the photo is likely a copyvio as Sharon Fair cannot be here both: the speaker and the photographer. It is not a selfie.

Ankry (talk) 23:49, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

  • Huh? One vote to keep one to delete is not consensus to delete. Deletion based on "out of scope" is flawed, you cannot be out-of-scope and in-use simultaneously, this isn't an image of Schrodinger's cat. "Likely a copyvio" was not the rationale for deletion. --RAN (talk) 23:55, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

@Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ): , which images do you believe should be restored. You have agreed that the books and flags should not be. The two images of Sharon Fair that I have seen claim that she is the photographer when it is completely obvious that they cannot be selfies. Also please remember that DRs are not votes and while the closing Admin must consider opposing arguments, it is ultimately up to them. Finally, note that there were two experienced users who believed the images should be deleted -- the nom, and the closing Admin, so even if it were a vote, you would be on the losing side. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs) 14:41, 25 October 2023‎ (UTC)

  • Nothing is "completely obvious" cameras have timers, I routinely take images of myself using the timer. Again let me repeat: "Deletion based on 'out of scope' is flawed, you cannot be out-of-scope and in-use at Wikidata simultaneously". We encourage scientists and authors to submit images of themselves. --RAN (talk) 03:42, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Restore these:

I am not yet seeing a consensus to undelete. None of the demostration photos are selfies, and I have doubts that a few others you are requesting are selfies. Abzeronow (talk) 19:15, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
 Oppose File:Sharon Fair 1967.08 with brother Michael and sister Sheila at home in Havre de Grace, MD.jpg is obviously not a selfie so there is reasonable cause to believe that this user uploads other people's photos and claim them as her own. Thuresson (talk) 20:00, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
 Oppose We have a person who claims a variety of degrees earned in three years, who has falsely claimed {{Own}} for at least one image and almost certainly on all the images above. She claims having written several books which can't be found at Amazon or elsewhere. The Wikidata entry was done by RAN, so it is not relevant to his request.

Seal of CPC Corporation, Taiwan

Please restore the following pages:

Related discussion: 1, 2. The seal of CPC was adopted in 1946, so it should had been in the Public Domain per {{PD-China}}. Since that the current wording of the logo was adopted in 2007 (still copyrighted), and I don't know which of the files were without words, so please just restore those files with the seal only. (or maybe cropped the file first if none were without one?) —— Eric LiuTalk 09:08, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

 Support Although {{PD-China}} could be used for Taiwan, {{PD-Taiwan}} is a better choice. The rule there is 50 years after public release for works authored by a legal entity. The Taiwan URAA date is 2002, so these do not have a URAA copyright. Except for the logo itself, which you say is from 1946, I do not see enough words to have a copyright, so these are free of copyright. .     Jim . . .

I would like this image of PGA golfer John Daly at the American Express Championship in 2005 to be undeleted. The 2005 American Express Championship is the tournament where John Daly lost in a playoff to Tiger Woods, many golf critics considered this tournament to be the one that determined Daly's exemption status on the PGA Tour. The main reason I am requesting undeletion is due to the fact that this image shows John Daly swinging with his driver. As he was the longest driver on the PGA Tour for many years, I consider this image to be special. I believe this image is better than the image that is currently on the John Daly Wikipedia page. So, due to the historical significance, suitability concerning Daly's PGA Tour driving statistics from the past, and Daly's persona, I call for this image to be undeleted.

File is from the Burbank city website and deleted due to the fact that it said "© Copyright 2023 City of Burbank" at the footer. As it's from a California city government, I put the template PD-CAGov, which states that works created by a government unit are public domain. Túrelio (talk · contribs) said that "In addition, the source-site states "© Copyright 2023 City of Burbank. All Rights Reserved", which seems to contradicts that its content falls under PD-CAGov" but the template also says that "any government entity which derives its power from the State cannot enforce a copyright" even with a copyright notice from a government unit in California. reppoptalk 20:02, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

I would like to request to undelete the image I had uploaded.

Long story short, I am a teacher who mistakenly deleted the former image of my school badge in infobox while attempting to make changes for the details as requested by the headmaster of my school. As the consequence, I uploaded a picture of my school badge onto Wikipedia to be put into my school's infobox. As I have zero prior knowledge in web editing and as such, I tried to learn how to upload an image onto Wikipedia as amendment. I successfully did so for a while until I have to edit again the wikipedia page and found out the image was no longer there. Please make this easier for me, please retract the image back or the former one if you could. This is too much for me, editing info on wikipedia is so complicated.

Please consider my request, thank you a lot.

You permit others to copy, distribute, display and perform the work, and to create adaptations of it.. This is a CC-by license, even though the version is unclear.
I would still be wary of undeleting this, however. It looks to me like they didn't put the CC license there on purpose, this looks rather like a mistake of the mynewsdesk site, which is in no position to give a license to content that is copyrighted by Sony. --rimshottalk 16:58, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 Oppose The website is from a startup company that does press releases and they cannot really re-license material that they don't hold the copyright. It is hard to believe that a multinational record company would release an album cover art with a CC-BY license. They might release a photo from an artist with CC-BY, but for example it is really hard to believe that Sony gave the OK to upload this tiff file (73MB) to a public server and under a CC-BY license. If one look at the other media they have from Sony it is clear that uploads before 26 October have a different license (press release). I would be on cautionary side and contact MyNewsDesk and get a confirmation the licenses are really OK. Günther Frager (talk) 17:40, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

15 image files were deleted here because there was no license. I would like to request undeletion for 8 of these. These are listed as public domain in the Alamy Stock Photo "History Collection".

 Oppose While images from the 1930s may be PD in the country of origin, they almost certainly have a URAA copyright in the US. It is likely that Almy has not considered this. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:04, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

  •  Support {{PD-Russia-1996}} should be OK here. Yann (talk) 15:13, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I agree with Jim that the photos most likely are copyrighted in US, but it is unrelated to URAA. We have no evidence that the photos were published before March 1989, so US copyright applies to them directly (95 years from publication or 120 years from creation for anonymous photos). They seem to originate from a non-public gallery (http://www.atexpo.ru/about/project/north/08/) located in an automotive(!) exhibition website. (Wayback Machine got info about access restriction while trying to archive the content.) They are way too recent for PD-old-assumed. I suggest to undelete them in 2058.

@Dornika ceo: Hi,
You didn't mention which file you want undeleted. Anyway, since it is not your own work, the copyright holder must send a permission for a free license via COM:VRT. Yann (talk) 12:42, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Multiple Files

Three image files were deleted because they were found to be unlicensed. However, I believe that these images should be undeleted. The reason is that they are screenshots of YouTube videos tagged with a "Creative Commons Attribution Reuse Allowed" license.

The files in question are as follows:

I would really appreciate it if you could consider undeleting these images.

Reason:This file was previously deleted for the reason 'the portraits of the Imperial families are excluded from GJSTU-2.0.' However, both Section 7c of the 'Government of Japan Standard Terms of Use (Version 2.0)' (available at https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Government_of_Japan_Standard_Terms_of_Use_(Version_2.0)) and Section 6c of the Imperial Household Agency website's 'Notice on Copyright and Other Related Matters Regarding this Website' (available at https://www.kunaicho.go.jp/e-copyright/) explicitly state: 'The Terms of Use are compatible with the Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0 (hereinafter referred to as the CC License). This means that content based on the Terms of Use may be used under the CC License in lieu of the Terms of Use.' To clarify for those who may not understand, this implies that content licensed under GJSTU-2.0 can be used under the CC BY 4.0 terms. According to 'CC BY 4.0 DEED' (available at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), as long as the terms 'Attribution - You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use' are followed, there are 'No additional restrictions - You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits.' Therefore, the previous deletion decision should be overturned, and the previous page history also needs to be recovered. cc @Wcam, Mdaniels5757, Yann, and Yasu: Thanks. rockclimbingwii (talk) 08:25:40, 2023_11_12 (UTC)
