== An old version deleted in 2022 is displayed ==
Hi
[[File:Evelyn Salgado Pineda.jpg|180px|right]]
I don't know if this can be replicated by other users, but for me the File:Evelyn Salgado Pineda.jpg <u>when it is displayed at 180px</u> displays an old version that was deleted in 2022 [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=File%3AEvelyn+Salgado+Pineda.jpg] : [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/Evelyn_Salgado_Pineda.jpg/180px-Evelyn_Salgado_Pineda.jpg]. Apparently it did not fix itself although a new version was uploaded in June 2024. -- [[User:Asclepias|Asclepias]] ([[User talk:Asclepias|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 16:00, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
: {{ping|Asclepias}} I see the correct file. This almost has to be a caching issue on your machine. Do you have this if you look with a different browser? - [[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] ! [[User talk:Jmabel|talk]] 19:43, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
::Thank you for looking. That is strange. [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/Evelyn_Salgado_Pineda.jpg/180px-Evelyn_Salgado_Pineda.jpg There], it still displays to me the old deleted image of the woman in a black sweater, not the recent image of the woman in a green vest. I don't know how there can be a cache issue with an image deleted in 2022 that I had never looked at before recently. The browser should not have the ability to find a version deleted two years ago. But you're right, it must be a cache issue of some sort, given that you see the recent image. Maybe the image will fix itself now that someone else looked at it. I'll post an update if it happens. -- [[User:Asclepias|Asclepias]] ([[User talk:Asclepias|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 20:44, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

::::That raises an intriguing technicality. If you see the deleted ("black sweater") image at the specific url for the 180px .jpg image, but you see the current ("green vest") image in the 180px thumbnail displayed through wikicode in this section here, then what is the specific 180px .jpg url that you get when you ask the url of that "green vest" 180px thumbnail? I suppose that, for a user viewing Commons on the same machine and the same browser, the two different 180px .jpg images cannot occupy the exact same url at the same time, or can they? <small>(That would be a Schrödinger's cat image, showing one state or the other depending on the observation.)</small> -- [[User:Asclepias|Asclepias]] ([[User talk:Asclepias|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 15:36, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

::::::Oh, that's interesting. So, the wiki code set at 180px leads you to the url of a 270px image of the new photo.

== I want my personal photo uploaded, undeleted ==
Greetings, my name is R. Gopakumar The following images are my own artworks that I uploaded. They will be deleted soon. I would appreciate it if you could resolve this issue. My own works and images are shown below. The username I use is "Editani". I uploaded these images because I need to create a gallery on my Wikipedia it version https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopakumar_R.


I have tried to upload my portrait three times, but it has been deleted immediately after uploading it. If it is for copyright, it is okay with me because it is my personal picture and no one is uploading it against my will.

== USERNAME CHANGE ==
== Uploading a new version of File:Wikimania - The Wikimentary.webm ==


ALL CONCERNED: Is it possible to change my username? When I created the account I was married and had legally changed my surname to MANGINO. I am now divorced, and legally reverted back to my maiden name, McSORLEY, in 2018. I updated my email address to [redacted]. Please advise if this is possible. If NOT, please delete this account and I will create a new account. Thank you.
Hello,
TracyAnne [[User:Tamangino|Tamangino]] ([[User talk:Tamangino|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 17:41, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
Recently, I have uploaded [[:File:Wikimania - The Wikimentary - Edited.webm]], a cropped-down version of [[:File:Wikimania - the Wikimentary.webm]]. But actually, perhaps I should've just '''updated''' the latter rather than creating a new file... My project being that the former replaces the latter everywhere it is used.
: {{ping|Tamangino}} There is another thread on this topic about three above this one. You would want to go to [[:meta:Steward requests/Username changes]].

== Copyright on anime figurines ==
The problem with [[:File:Wikimania - the Wikimentary.webm]], as you can see if you watch the video, is that it starts over regularly to the beginning - so the visionner of the video has to speed up to where it cut off last in order to enjoy the full length. The full video, no interruption, thus begins at 25'40 . My edit aims to show only the useful length (so starting at 25'40 ) .


Hello. As a preface, I am writing this hastily at work, and likewise have not read pages beyond the FAQ and some of enwiki’s image policy pages. I read a line there (which I cannot find again for the ''life'' of me) that read something like “photos of three-dimensional objects almost always generate a new copyright.” Are there no exemptions to this rule? I note the established [[:File:Akihabara August 2014 09.JPG]] image and far more recent [[:File:Reimu Hakurei cosplayer and Reimu Fumo.jpg]], but I wish to be absolutely sure about this policy before I go ahead and crosspost a public domain Flickr image for my userspace. (Image in question would be two Nendoroids{{mdash}}or another type of figurine, not sure which image I would want yet{{mdash}}so, naturally, the portrayed characters are under copyright. The crux of this question is: would a photo of these figurines ''not'' be under the same copyright?) Thanks in advance! [[User:Velvetune|Velvetune]] ([[User talk:Velvetune|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 02:45, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
If I were to update directly [[:File:Wikimania - the Wikimentary.webm]], I would edit again my own edit: right now, i repet several times that my edit shortens the original publication, and that I do not own the credit, blah, blah... Looking back, on it, it's not so necessary.
: {{ping|Velvetune}} A photo of a three-dimensional, copyrighted object ends up involving ''two'' copyrights: the copyright of the underlying work, ''plus'' the copyright of the photo.

::@[[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]], this is what makes most sense to me, but I’m having trouble wrapping my head around why that then wouldn’t be cause to delete the latter image and resize the former one (fair use, it’s used in a few places) for non-free content, as neither underlying work is free.

:::My prior comment was just a general statement. I hadn't looked at the files in question. The former looks to me like it should be deleted, unless it is somehow covered by Freedom of Panorama in the country in which it was taken (I didn't look to see what country; there are few places where this would be OK, though). The latter might be trickier, I don't know enough about the character(s) in question to say what is or isn't copyrightable there. - [[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] ! [[User talk:Jmabel|talk]] 22:03, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

::::Took a look around. [[COM:TOYS]] puts it in 50/50 territory, from what I can understand{{mdash}}the former photo was assuredly taken in Japan, where they likewise don't fall under copyright ({{tq|Indeed, some countries, such as Japan, generally consider toys to be utilitarian objects and therefore ineligible for copyright}},) but Commons servers are in America, where that doesn't fly. The first linked image was [[Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Akihabara_August_2014_09.JPG|kept under ''de minimis'']] in the past, but in any case, it rules out any image I was considering.

I was uploading a few pictures yesterday of libraries in my hometown and was able to successfully search in the "Main subject visible in this work" to select the library depicted for all except one - North Park Branch Library. The file is [[:File:North Park Branch Library.jpg|here]]. I went to add a [[wikidata:Q131358286|Wikidata item]] for the library, but did not know if the wikidata item and the wikimedia commons dropdown box were related. Anyway, the question that I am asking is how to add the "main subject visible in this work" to a file post-upload

:::Vorschaubilder werden nur in einer Reihe genormter Größen automatisch generiert. Da Deine PDF nur eine Größe vonm 800x1091 Pixel hat, wird auch kein größeres Vorschaubild generiert und die größte Vorschau ist das nächstkleinere Standard-Vorschau-Format. Du könntest versuchen in deinen Präferenzen die maximale Größe von Vorschaubildern zu ändern, vielleicht wird dir dann ein größerers Vorschaubild angezeigt. Oder du kannst mit der Maus auf einen der Vorschaulinks rechts klicken, um die URL zu erhalten. Darin steht dann irgendwo .../329px-...

== Regarding title cards/links in PD videos ==
:vorab: Wenn du auf Deutsch schreiben willst, wirst du im [[Commons:Forum]] mehr Erfolg haben, auf dieser Seite hier ist eher Englisch üblich.


Hey all, I wanted to upload some videos of a tornado event caught on surveillance footage here under {{tl|PD-automated}}. However, the videos contain title cards, and include a link to the website of the uploader at the end. I am wondering, does that make those videos exempt to that PD criteria, and do they need to be edited out, or are they fine to include in the upload? Some videos that I am talking about include:
:Zu den Fragen:

:# Nein.
:# ''Benutzernamensraum'' sind üblicherweise alle Unterseiten der Haupt-Benutzerseite eines Benutzers. ''Deine'' Haupt-Benutzerseite hier auf Wikimedia Commons ist [[User:Acbar2001]]. Unterseiten werden davon mit Schrägstrich / abgetrennt. Eine mögliche Unterseite wäre [[User:Acbar2001/Testseite]]. Statt ''Testseite'' kannst du die auch beliebig anders nennen.
:# Zum Beispiel, indem du auf der noch leeren Seite [[User:Acbar2001]] (oder einer Unterseite) etwas schreibst und dann unten die Schaltfläche (Button) ''Seite veröffentlichen'' klickst.
:# Um das beantworten zu können, braucht es mehr Details; du solltest beschreiben, was du machst und was dann passiert oder eben nicht passiert, ob es Fehlermeldungen gibt und wenn ja wie diese lauten usw.

== The copyright dilemma in SVG military insignia ==
I'm in the process of uploading more than 20 images, scanned from negatives, and a few of them have uploaded rotated (either upside down, or rotated through 90 degrees). Can I fix this at this stage (without having to re-enter all of the descriptions) or should I delete the rotated ones and try to upload them later? [[User:Ginigee|Ginigee]] ([[User talk:Ginigee|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 21:05, 12 March 2024 (UTC)


:@[[User:Ginigee|Ginigee]]: Once you've finished uploading them, there's an option on each file's page (under the list of versions of the file) to "Upload a new version of this file". You can use that to overwrite the file while keeping the description intact. Commons has recently instituted some restrictions on overwriting files, but I don;'t think there's any problem with overwriting files you've uploaded yourself. --[[User:Bjh21|bjh21]] ([[User talk:Bjh21|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 21:31, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
I'm interested in uploading self-made SVG versions of the Turkish military insignia to feature in Wikipedia (regiment-level bodies). The issue is that (on the contrary to most countries) the Turkish copyright law does not consider government emblems/works created by pubic servants in public domain. They also don't have licenses on government websites. Therefore, as a Commons newbie, I cannot find any way to legitimately upload such content. Some people I have seen just credited such works for themselves, and claimed they are the sole owners of the work, but I think such an action would not be allowed. Thanks!

: Term of protection for anonymous works in Turkey is 70 years, so presumably anything of this sort before 1954 is out of copyright there.

Would somebody be willing to look at a "gallery" of ogg files and see if Commons would like to host it? On other wikis I create a page by doing a search and hitting the return button. My guess is that on Commons we write the page in userspace and request a page move. That is fine with me, but I am currently writing a "gallery" of ogg files, and don't know if I should write it for Commons, Wikipedia, or Wikiversity. Where it should go depends in how I write it (especially because Wikiversity and Wikipedia have different template structures.) The gallery is a full performance of Mozart's Magic Flute. To my (questionable) ear, the performance ogg file seem pretty good. A version of the "gallery" is under construction at '''[[w:User:Guy vandegrift/sandbox/sandbox]]'''.

I don't know if it is necessary to create the description pages manually or if there is some automated procedure that takes care of fixing that.

== Is it possible to rename files? ==

Greetings, I was wondering if this could be done because it appears that an image of a submarine has been misidentified.
Hello


A couple months back, an IP user removed this file ([[:File:HMS Resolution (S22) in 1977.jpg]]) from the respective sub's article and the article about her class stating that the sub in the photo is actually USS Lafayette (SSBN-616). After doing some investigating it appears this IP user is correct.

Good evening, So I'm in Québec 3 hours from Montréal (a bit more north) and for the last 10 years, we've been seeing turkey vultures. However, the map on the Turkey vulture wiki does not seem to indicate that our range has turkey vultures in the summer. I've never contributed to wikipédia, but I would love to help since this animal is one of animals showing signs of the climate changes. (mostly due to how, in my father's younger days, there was a LOT of snow and never seeing these birds. Nowadays we see them every summer when it's time to fill the freezer with the farm stuff) [[Special:Contributions/70.81.176.44|70.81.176.44]] 00:25, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
:No. If you use a converter, it is your choice to set the jpeg-quality to any value you want from 0 to 100%. The Wiki preview comes with a jpeg quality that has been decided on by the wiki developers.

: By "the Turkey vulture wiki" I'm guessing you mean [[:en:Turkey vulture]], the "Turkey vulture" page on the English-language Wikipedia. (If you meant something else, please clarify!) And in that case, you must mean [[:File:Turkeyvulturerange.jpg|this map]] which, interestingly, was last modified less than 2 weeks ago by {{U|MPF}}.
: There are basically three possibilities here; for all of these, providing a citeable source for the expanded range rather than just anecdotal evidence would be good, but might not be necessary.
:# contact {{U|MPF}} and see if they can/will help you.
:# put in a request at [[:Commons:Graphic Lab/Map workshop]].
:# create your own version of the map. This one may be a little tricky though. To upload content at all, you need to create an account, but because you are not an established user, you won't be able to overwrite someone else's file, so you'd have to upload your version with a different file name. You would link back to [[:File:Turkeyvulturerange.jpg]] using {{tlx|derived from|Turkeyvulturerange.jpg}} and ideally add {{tlx|derivative works|YOUR FILE NAME HERE.EXT}} to [[:File:Turkeyvulturerange.jpg]]. Then you could go back to the English-language Wikipedia and propose changing the article to use your map (or just make the edit in the article yourself).
I'd recommend going with one of the first two possibilities: replacing existing images with derivative works is relatively advanced stuff, not usually where anyone starts their involvement with Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia.
: In any case, I recommend creating an account (and providing your email address as part of setting up the account: it will not be shown publicly) if you are going to become at all involved here. It makes it much easier for other editors to communicate with you. - [[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] ! [[User talk:Jmabel|talk]] 01:03, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
::It's a bit of a difficult case, as we have to rely on published information for maps. Submit your sightings to your local bird club (remember to give them accurate location data!), and eventually (yes, it'll be slow!) the information about the expanded range will work into maps published in bird field guides, etc., and when they do, we can revise our map here. I'll check other recent maps though and see if there is anything that already gives more up-to-date information than our map has.

:::I've updated it from iNaturalist observations; this can be risky for some species, but with a conspicuous easily-recognised species like this, it does give reasonably safe results by taking the denser observations while ignoring outliers (the mapped observations will also be weak in sparsely-populated areas with few observers like southern South America). - [[User:MPF|MPF]] ([[User talk:MPF|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 20:45, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

:@[[User:HardikKansara106|HardikKansara106]]: Hi, and welcome. I am sorry to inform you that you have triggered [[Special:AbuseFilter/153]] by trying to cross-wiki upload a smaller (<50,000 bytes or <2,000,000 pixels) jpg photo as a new user. The photo you tried to upload is smaller. Usually when someone uploads a smaller photo, it is a copyright violation taken from the web. You have also triggered that same filter by trying to cross-wiki upload a png image as a new user. Such uploads of png images are not allowed at all. You indicated each is your own work. Usually when someone uploads a png image, it's a copyright violation taken from the web. Please upload the full-size original of each per [[COM:HR]], including any metadata, but it may be judged too complex to be under [[TOO]] in the country of origin, so you (or the photographer or designer) may need to license them on your official website or social media or send permission via [[VRT]]. Also, any png image will look fuzzy when scaled down (due to design decisions discussed in [[phab:T192744]]) or jaggy when scaled up, so you may want to upload an svg or jpg version, too. If you use [[Special:UploadWizard|our Upload Wizard]] instead, you should be able to avoid that filter. Also, we do not have profiles here like [[:en:User:HardikKansara106/sandbox]].

: {{ping|Rick Hawkeye}} It almost certainly does ''not'' belong on Commons, Wikipedia, or any other WMF site. Even if your family is notable enough to merit coverage in an encyclopedia, a family history written by a family member, unless first published by a reputable publisher, would almost certainly fall foul of the policies on conflicts of interest, e.g. {{w|WP:COI}}.

* You can add a Wiki style biography of each family member at Familypedia (via Fandom), it was started by the same guy that started Wikipedia but pays for itself with ads. You can add deceased family members to Wikidata, and Wikidata has links to the other genealogy sites. See for example: [[wikidata:Q20667111|Anton Julius Winblad]] where I link to his entry in Geni, Familysearch, Findagrave, and Wikitree. I copy and paste the same biography to each of the websites. Wikidata also links to [[:Category:Anton_Julius_Winblad]] where we are now. You can load historical images of family members at Commons if they are in the public domain or a family member took the image and you have inherited the copyrights. You can also load historical public domain news articles to Commons and and link the names in the article to people in Wikidata. See for example: [[:File:Patrick J. Norton (1856-1905) and John Norton (1861-1905) in a fist fight as reported in the Jersey Journal on Tuesday, May 19, 1891.png]] where my great-grandfather got into a drunken brawl in 1891. I transcribed the article and added it to [[Wikisource:Jersey_Journal/1893/Trying_to_Refresh_Conboy%27s_Memory]] and also created a Wikidata entry for the news article here: [[Wikidata:Q84898727|Trying to Refresh Conboy's Memory]]. --[[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 20:51, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

'''In short:''' What is the best method to request speedy deletion of thousands of copyvios uploaded by a bot?


Context: [[Commons:Deletion requests/File:Le nouveau testament. Mise en scène de Jean Laurent Cochet - photographies - Daniel Cande - btv1b9064252m (001 of 107).jpg|This deletion request]] requests deletion of all files in a category of 107 copyvios (107 non-free photos by professional photographer Daniel Cande) uploaded to Commons by a bot Gzen92Bot. The photos are obviously not free at the source. (And that was also already known from previous discussions). Looking at more uploads by that bot, it can be seen that it systematically inserts false claims of CC0 on almost everything it uploads. Sometimes, it falsely tags CC0 files that are public domain by expiration of copyright, which is already bad behaviour but at least it's not too damaging. Often, it falsely tags CC0 files that are not free, which is much worse and potentially much more damaging.

Size of the problem: Searching only for photos by the same professional photographer Daniel Cande, it can be found that the bot created hundreds of categories and uploaded probably tens of thousands of non-free photos by that photographer. It can be expected that looking at more uploads of that bot thousands more copyvios of non-free works by other authors might be found.
:: While true that the typeface is not copyrightable, sometimes seemingly small details like the isolated elements off of the D and R (which are not part of the letters) may qualify for copyright on their own, which could be enough. I would definitely not upload the second one, as there are several additional elements. The gradient by itself is likely not enough, but there are additional elements on the letters not related to the typeface, and those could also create a copyright.

Suggestions?: What could be the best practical method to speedy delete those thousands of bot copyvios? Placing copyvio tags on tens of thousands of files, flooding the speedy deletion maintenance category, may not be the most practical method. Another method could be starting a series of hundreds of mass deletion requests, for example each listing the files in one category. But considering the size of the problem, even formatting one or two such mass deletion requests every day, that could take practically a whole year to go through all of it. Also, deletion requests can sometimes wait several months before an administrator closes them, which is not practical for copyvios that should be speedy deleted. Another idea could be to simply notify the problem on the Administrators' noticeboard and let them deal with it as they want. Any other suggestions?

:::From discussions in 2012 and 2013, it seems likely that the photos by Daniel Cande were indeed noted "domaine public" on Gallica at that time. They were probably noted like that until circa the mid-2010s. However, it does not matter that Gallica had ever placed or not public domain notices on those photos on which it never had the right to do so. The matter was examined in [[Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Daniel Cande|this DR]] in 2017 (if one goes to the essential and skips the secondary discussions that take most of the page). So, it's not necessary to search the internet archives in cases like that. Searching Commons, there are hundreds of categories with photos by the same photographer uploaded by the same bot recently. -- [[User:Asclepias|Asclepias]] ([[User talk:Asclepias|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 21:57, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

::Although that is not necessary for a large number of uploads by that bot. Through previous discussions, Commons has developed a reasonable knowledge and consensus about the actual copyright status of many Gallica fonds. It is established that Gallica or BNF cannot release in the public domain works on which it never had any rights (other than a limited permission to simply display those works on its website). That is the case, for example, for the photos by Daniel Cande, that the bot has uploaded to Commons by the thousands and grouped into some 350 categories. It's the same thing with photos by Joël Verhoustraeten, grouped into some 100 categories. It does not matter if Gallica had ever placed or not a public domain notice on works on which it never had the right to do so. Therefore, there is no reason to delay the speedy deletion of such known copyvios, which should be deleted ASAP. By contrast, works that Commons has established might have been validly released to the public domain by Gallica at some point in the past are, for example, photos by Roger Pic, because that photographer ceded his rights to BNF. The bot grouped them in some 350 categories. I would rather keep the photos by Roger Pic, but the difficulty for them might be to prove if they had public domain notices, now some ten years after the removal of those notices from Gallica. It can be noted that apparently the bot started to mass upload Gallica files to Commons after Gallica had already removed most such public domain notices from its pages. They were not CC0 anyway. The bot operator said that there are still inconsistencies between the present non-free notices and some technical parameter, but he should check the notices and should get familiar with past discussions on this subject and with the public domain tags of Commons and understand what CC0 is before launching the bot on mass uploads. -- [[User:Asclepias|Asclepias]] ([[User talk:Asclepias|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 21:05, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

== Hadley Airfield ==
== No uploaded by phone ==


Hadley Airfield was not in New Brunswick. I grew up on TEXAS AVE in South Plainfield. Hadley was my next door neighbor which put Hadley in South Plainfield, New Jersey, Hamilton Blvd. There was a big field between us, but nothing was on it but dead grass. My father was a pilot. He didn't fly Hadley's planes, but he did fly bi-planes. I have a picture somewhere of him stepping up onto the wing. His goggles and helmit, I think my brother has possession of them. I was soooooo sad to see a hotel there and Hadley gone, torn down. A lot of history was made in So. Plainfield by Hadley. That area sure has changed. My Grandparents live across the street on Texas Ave, originally UNION AVE. My Great-grandmother was the original owner of that property. She got it for $5.00 down and $1.00 a month, with only a daughter, who became my Grandma, when she married Frank DeFellipo. To fly commercial, Dad moved us to New Hampshire shortly after Grandpa died. I made trips to Grandma house When I grew up. We have to accept change and some times it is sad. Such is life.

Just found my original artwork of the Last Supper on Wikimedia.
== Photo ==
My website page here https://freechristimages.com/bible-stories/last-supper.html
shows it is only available as a print. I'll add my copyright info right away.
Here is the original upload to wikimedia:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Art-100.jpg&oldid=297632321
and the current page stating it is in the public domain (it is not in the public domain)
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Art-100.jpg
Any help taking it down would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,

An old version deleted in 2022 is displayed

[edit]

I don't know if this can be replicated by other users, but for me the File:Evelyn Salgado Pineda.jpg when it is displayed at 180px displays an old version that was deleted in 2022 [1] : [2]. Apparently it did not fix itself although a new version was uploaded in June 2024. -- Asclepias (talk) 16:00, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Asclepias: I see the correct file. This almost has to be a caching issue on your machine. Do you have this if you look with a different browser? - Jmabel ! talk 19:43, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for looking. That is strange. There, it still displays to me the old deleted image of the woman in a black sweater, not the recent image of the woman in a green vest. I don't know how there can be a cache issue with an image deleted in 2022 that I had never looked at before recently. The browser should not have the ability to find a version deleted two years ago. But you're right, it must be a cache issue of some sort, given that you see the recent image. Maybe the image will fix itself now that someone else looked at it. I'll post an update if it happens. -- Asclepias (talk) 20:44, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Asclepias: I see that where you linked, too. Very weird. Looks like a bug if you are a non-admin and are able to see that. - Jmabel ! talk 19:08, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That raises an intriguing technicality. If you see the deleted ("black sweater") image at the specific url for the 180px .jpg image, but you see the current ("green vest") image in the 180px thumbnail displayed through wikicode in this section here, then what is the specific 180px .jpg url that you get when you ask the url of that "green vest" 180px thumbnail? I suppose that, for a user viewing Commons on the same machine and the same browser, the two different 180px .jpg images cannot occupy the exact same url at the same time, or can they? (That would be a Schrödinger's cat image, showing one state or the other depending on the observation.) -- Asclepias (talk) 15:36, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/Evelyn_Salgado_Pineda.jpg/270px-Evelyn_Salgado_Pineda.jpg. So it's not using a 180px image. - Jmabel ! talk 18:49, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, that's interesting. So, the wiki code set at 180px leads you to the url of a 270px image of the new photo. Me, I still get the old image in the thumbnail set at 180px and it leads to the url of the 180px image of the old photo. Thank you for having participated in this little experiment. -- Asclepias (talk) 19:25, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Update: The 180px image has updated today to the current photo. -- Asclepias (talk) 17:01, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want my personal photo uploaded, undeleted

[edit]

I have tried to upload my portrait three times, but it has been deleted immediately after uploading it. If it is for copyright, it is okay with me because it is my personal picture and no one is uploading it against my will. Arammala (talk) 08:09, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Arammala: Wikimedia Commons is not a social media, and we do not accept personal pictures without educational use, unless people are already contributors. Please read COM:SCOPE before uploading anything. Yann (talk) 09:28, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I understand. The photo will be used in another Wikipedia project, it is needed. Arammala (talk) 13:40, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your account does not show up as having any contributions to any other WMF projects, not even creation of a user page. What do you feel qualifies you as a "contributor"? Or are you the subject of an existing article? (If so, what article?)
Also, unless these are selfies: if the picture is in scope for some reason, permission (presumably via COM:VRT) has to come from the photographer, not the subject of the photo (unless copyright has been formally transferred to you, in which case use VRT to show the formal transfer). - Jmabel ! talk 18:55, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article which I am the subject of it is not confirmed yet is entitled Aram Mala Nuri-is still receiving feedback. Moreover, I am the photographer of the photo and I am its subject, which means I have full ownership as copyright issues. If this photo is being deleted the person who is writing the article in Wikipedia cannot edit the article and submit it for revisions. Arammala (talk) 14:46, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Arammala: I don't really see how it would be any harder to first get the article accepted and then add photos but, yes, if the article is accepted then these photos are certainly in scope. Could you please provide a link to the draft in progress? - Jmabel ! talk 17:35, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, if the article will be accepted I can then upload the photo. Here is the link of the article, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Zhewar_H._Ali/sandbox Arammala (talk) 12:55, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Zhewar H. Ali: you might want to look into how references are normally formatted. Normally, references should be mainly inline; also, following (for example) the "cite web" template with more or less the same content outside of the template is actively confusing. And when using non-English references, you certainly want to use the "language" parameter. - Jmabel ! talk 19:36, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I will look into that. Plus, do you think that the article is reliable? Arammala (talk) 18:03, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

USERNAME CHANGE

ALL CONCERNED: Is it possible to change my username? When I created the account I was married and had legally changed my surname to MANGINO.

@Tamangino: There is another thread on this topic about three above this one. You would want to go to meta:Steward requests/Username changes. Abzeronow (talk) 17:57, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Hello. As a preface, I am writing this hastily at work, and likewise have not read pages beyond the FAQ and some of enwiki’s image policy pages. I read a line there (which I cannot find again for the life of me) that read something like “photos of three-dimensional objects almost always generate a new copyright.” Are there no exemptions to this rule? I note the established File:Akihabara August 2014 09.JPG image and far more recent File:Reimu Hakurei cosplayer and Reimu Fumo.jpg, but I wish to be absolutely sure about this policy before I go ahead and crosspost a public domain Flickr image for my userspace. (Image in question would be two Nendoroids—or another type of figurine, not sure which image I would want yet—so, naturally, the portrayed characters are under copyright. The crux of this question is: would a photo of these figurines not be under the same copyright?) Thanks in advance! Velvetune (talk) 02:45, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Velvetune: A photo of a three-dimensional, copyrighted object ends up involving two copyrights: the copyright of the underlying work, plus the copyright of the photo. Both must be licensed by their respective owners. - Jmabel ! talk 18:25, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jmabel, this is what makes most sense to me, but I’m having trouble wrapping my head around why that then wouldn’t be cause to delete the latter image and resize the former one (fair use, it’s used in a few places) for non-free content, as neither underlying work is free. Velvetune (talk) 19:51, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My prior comment was just a general statement. I hadn't looked at the files in question. The former looks to me like it should be deleted, unless it is somehow covered by Freedom of Panorama in the country in which it was taken (I didn't look to see what country; there are few places where this would be OK, though). The latter might be trickier, I don't know enough about the character(s) in question to say what is or isn't copyrightable there. - Jmabel ! talk 22:03, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The latter involves a character from en:Touhou Project, the doll would pose an issue but not the cosplay, IMHO. Abzeronow (talk) 00:00, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Took a look around. COM:TOYS puts it in 50/50 territory, from what I can understand—the former photo was assuredly taken in Japan, where they likewise don't fall under copyright (Indeed, some countries, such as Japan, generally consider toys to be utilitarian objects and therefore ineligible for copyright,) but Commons servers are in America, where that doesn't fly. The first linked image was kept under de minimis in the past, but in any case, it rules out any image I was considering. Thank you both for your help; I think I'll just pick a photo of, like, a library instead, haha! Velvetune (talk) 07:27, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Main subject visible in this work"

[edit]

Hello all,

I was uploading a few pictures yesterday of libraries in my hometown and was able to successfully search in the "Main subject visible in this work" to select the library depicted for all except one - North Park Branch Library. The file is here. I went to add a Wikidata item for the library, but did not know if the wikidata item and the wikimedia commons dropdown box were related. Anyway, the question that I am asking is how to add the "main subject visible in this work" to a file post-upload

Thanks so much!

[edit]

Hey all, I wanted to upload some videos of a tornado event caught on surveillance footage here under {{PD-automated}}. However, the videos contain title cards, and include a link to the website of the uploader at the end. I am wondering, does that make those videos exempt to that PD criteria, and do they need to be edited out, or are they fine to include in the upload? Some videos that I am talking about include:

St. John's Security Camera Footage

Joplin Tornado: East Middle School Surveillance Footage

Thanks in advance! ChrisWx ☁️ (talk - contribs) 20:40, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Link to website should not be a problem. I don't have time to watch them through right now, but offhand the titles look below the threshold of originality for the U.S. - Jmabel ! talk 17:39, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Any time you see an image in your browser, your computer has downloaded it.
Assuming you are on a PC, you normally save a file to your computer's hard drive by right-clicking on it and then selecting "Save image as..." from the right-click menu. This is note specific to Commons, this should work on any site on the web that has not actively prevented it.
In addition, on Commons, if you want out highest-resolution version of an image so that you can download that, you can either click on the image or click on the last entry in the line immediately under the image (e.g. "Size of this preview: 800 × 533 pixels. Other resolutions: 320 × 213 pixels | 640 × 427 pixels | 1,024 × 683 pixels | 1,280 × 853 pixels | 2,560 × 1,707 pixels | 6,000 × 4,000 pixels."). Either will load the full-resolution version, which you can then right-click and selecting "Save image as..." from the right-click menu.

[edit]

I'm interested in uploading self-made SVG versions of the Turkish military insignia to feature in Wikipedia (regiment-level bodies). The issue is that (on the contrary to most countries) the Turkish copyright law does not consider government emblems/works created by pubic servants in public domain. They also don't have licenses on government websites. Therefore, as a Commons newbie, I cannot find any way to legitimately upload such content. Some people I have seen just credited such works for themselves, and claimed they are the sole owners of the work, but I think such an action would not be allowed. Thanks!

Term of protection for anonymous works in Turkey is 70 years, so presumably anything of this sort before 1954 is out of copyright there.

Hello. This might be a mobile-only issue, but for some reason, YouTube CC licenses appear to no longer be visible at the bottom of the description of YouTube videos.

There are 380 problems of this kind: quarry:query/88395 --Wurgl (talk) 09:01, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Like your query says, they are "images on Commons with missing description page". It looks like a sort of occasional bug. Many images currently listed there are part of rapid mass uploads by bots. Maybe a page was occasionally skipped. Fortunately, 380 images seems a relatively small number compared with the number of images uploaded. I don't know if it is necessary to create the description pages manually or if there is some automated procedure that takes care of fixing that. If it needs to be done manually, it is probably possible to figure out what goes in the page by a combination of looking at the information in the upload log and the information in the pages of related images uploaded by the uploader near the same time. Or simply notify the uploader and ask that they create the page. You could ask also at Commons:Village pump/Technical.

Cities in New York (state) by year

Some other user has created categories for the cities of Long Beach, New York, Utica, New York and Yonkers, New York by specific years.

@DanTD: I'd have expected https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Yonkers_NY_year&diff=prev&oldid=965335666 to fix it for Yonkers, but if it does there is a caching issue and it will take time to percolate.

After that, they appeared in alphabetical order in Category:2021 in New York (state) by city. I spot-checked other "<year> in New York (state) by city" categories, and all the subcats were in alpha order. Is caching different or separate for each user? -- Auntof6 (talk) 12:46, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Auntof6: Actually, after I posted that reply, I realized what you did. You carried out those null edits on each individual category. I did it on the main category. So I did it on the individual categories and it did work that time. --DanTD (talk) 12:50, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible to rename files?

[edit]

Greetings, I was wondering if this could be done because it appears that an image of a submarine has been misidentified.

A couple months back, an IP user removed this file (File:HMS Resolution (S22) in 1977.jpg) from the respective sub's article and the article about her class stating that the sub in the photo is actually USS Lafayette (SSBN-616). After doing some investigating it appears this IP user is correct.

how to modify a map range for an animal ?

[edit]

Good evening, So I'm in Québec 3 hours from Montréal (a bit more north) and for the last 10 years, we've been seeing turkey vultures. However, the map on the Turkey vulture wiki does not seem to indicate that our range has turkey vultures in the summer. I've never contributed to wikipédia, but I would love to help since this animal is one of animals showing signs of the climate changes. (mostly due to how, in my father's younger days, there was a LOT of snow and never seeing these birds. Nowadays we see them every summer when it's time to fill the freezer with the farm stuff) 70.81.176.44 00:25, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By "the Turkey vulture wiki" I'm guessing you mean en:Turkey vulture, the "Turkey vulture" page on the English-language Wikipedia. (If you meant something else, please clarify!) And in that case, you must mean this map which, interestingly, was last modified less than 2 weeks ago by MPF.
There are basically three possibilities here; for all of these, providing a citeable source for the expanded range rather than just anecdotal evidence would be good, but might not be necessary.
  1. contact MPF and see if they can/will help you.
  2. put in a request at Commons:Graphic Lab/Map workshop.
  3. create your own version of the map. This one may be a little tricky though. To upload content at all, you need to create an account, but because you are not an established user, you won't be able to overwrite someone else's file, so you'd have to upload your version with a different file name. You would link back to File:Turkeyvulturerange.jpg using {{derived from|Turkeyvulturerange.jpg}} and ideally add {{derivative works|YOUR FILE NAME HERE.EXT}} to File:Turkeyvulturerange.jpg. Then you could go back to the English-language Wikipedia and propose changing the article to use your map (or just make the edit in the article yourself).

I'd recommend going with one of the first two possibilities: replacing existing images with derivative works is relatively advanced stuff, not usually where anyone starts their involvement with Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia.

In any case, I recommend creating an account (and providing your email address as part of setting up the account: it will not be shown publicly) if you are going to become at all involved here. It makes it much easier for other editors to communicate with you. - Jmabel ! talk 01:03, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's a bit of a difficult case, as we have to rely on published information for maps. Submit your sightings to your local bird club (remember to give them accurate location data!), and eventually (yes, it'll be slow!) the information about the expanded range will work into maps published in bird field guides, etc., and when they do, we can revise our map here. I'll check other recent maps though and see if there is anything that already gives more up-to-date information than our map has. Thanks for bringing this up! - MPF (talk) 10:12, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've updated it from iNaturalist observations; this can be risky for some species, but with a conspicuous easily-recognised species like this, it does give reasonably safe results by taking the denser observations while ignoring outliers (the mapped observations will also be weak in sparsely-populated areas with few observers like southern South America). - MPF (talk) 20:45, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have also triggered that same filter by trying to cross-wiki upload a png image as a new user. Such uploads of png images are not allowed at all. You indicated each is your own work. Usually when someone uploads a png image, it's a copyright violation taken from the web. Please upload the full-size original of each per COM:HR, including any metadata, but it may be judged too complex to be under TOO in the country of origin, so you (or the photographer or designer) may need to license them on your official website or social media or send permission via VRT. Also, any png image will look fuzzy when scaled down (due to design decisions discussed in phab:T192744) or jaggy when scaled up, so you may want to upload an svg or jpg version, too. If you use our Upload Wizard instead, you should be able to avoid that filter. Also, we do not have profiles here like en:User:HardikKansara106/sandbox.

SVG upload error

[edit]

Hi all

I'm trying to help UN FAO upload some maps to Commons but I'm getting an error I've never seen before, the error happens when I try to upload the SVG files, does anyone know what the issue is and can someone suggest steps to fix them? I'm not very technical so a vague answer isn't really going to help a lot :)

The error message is maybe 20 pages long so I'll just copy the start of it in below.

Use of image allowed but partially

[edit]

Hello, I would like to use an image from a website to illustrate a Wikipedia article, but I'm not sure if I can. On the website it is written : "The reproduction of all or part of this website on an electronic medium is allowed, provided that the source [website url] and the mention 'All rights reserved' are clearly and visibly included. The information used must be for personal, associative, or professional purposes only; any use for commercial or advertising purposes is excluded" So I think usage in this context would be allowed, but I'm not sure. Is there a specific license category for Wikipedia that corresponds to this kind of authorization/restriction? PheonixU+221E (talk) 15:53, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What to do with thousands of bot copyvios ?

[edit]

In short: What is the best method to request speedy deletion of thousands of copyvios uploaded by a bot?

Context: This deletion request requests deletion of all files in a category of 107 copyvios (107 non-free photos by professional photographer Daniel Cande) uploaded to Commons by a bot Gzen92Bot. The photos are obviously not free at the source. (And that was also already known from previous discussions). Looking at more uploads by that bot, it can be seen that it systematically inserts false claims of CC0 on almost everything it uploads. Sometimes, it falsely tags CC0 files that are public domain by expiration of copyright, which is already bad behaviour but at least it's not too damaging. Often, it falsely tags CC0 files that are not free, which is much worse and potentially much more damaging.

Size of the problem: Searching only for photos by the same professional photographer Daniel Cande, it can be found that the bot created hundreds of categories and uploaded probably tens of thousands of non-free photos by that photographer. It can be expected that looking at more uploads of that bot thousands more copyvios of non-free works by other authors might be found.

Suggestions?: What could be the best practical method to speedy delete those thousands of bot copyvios? Placing copyvio tags on tens of thousands of files, flooding the speedy deletion maintenance category, may not be the most practical method. Another method could be starting a series of hundreds of mass deletion requests, for example each listing the files in one category. But considering the size of the problem, even formatting one or two such mass deletion requests every day, that could take practically a whole year to go through all of it. Also, deletion requests can sometimes wait several months before an administrator closes them, which is not practical for copyvios that should be speedy deleted. Another idea could be to simply notify the problem on the Administrators' noticeboard and let them deal with it as they want. Any other suggestions?

-- Asclepias (talk) 18:35, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Asclepias: Given that they are in a category, it is easy for admins to do a mass delete with VFC, especially easy if there is nothing else in the category. Sounds, though, like the more immediate problem is to stop the bot in question from digging an even deeper hole. - Jmabel ! talk 06:20, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

History of licensing should be checked. Gallica released some files in the public domain, and later changed the license. Once released in the public domain, they will stay this way. Yann (talk) 18:13, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I checked "Le nouveau testament" these via archive.org, and they were under the same conditions in the earliest record (2022), so I deleted these. By the same photographer, and under the same conditions, there is Category:La Cenerentola, musique de Gioachino Rossini - photographies - Daniel Cande - btv1b9082182b. Yann (talk) 18:37, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
From discussions in 2012 and 2013, it seems likely that the photos by Daniel Cande were indeed noted "domaine public" on Gallica at that time. They were probably noted like that until circa the mid-2010s. However, it does not matter that Gallica had ever placed or not public domain notices on those photos on which it never had the right to do so. The matter was examined in this DR in 2017 (if one goes to the essential and skips the secondary discussions that take most of the page). So, it's not necessary to search the internet archives in cases like that. Searching Commons, there are hundreds of categories with photos by the same photographer uploaded by the same bot recently. -- Asclepias (talk) 21:57, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
When we have proof (license review or Internet Archive) that the files were released to the public domain, I don't see any reason to delete them. Yann (talk) 09:03, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Although that is not necessary for a large number of uploads by that bot. Through previous discussions, Commons has developed a reasonable knowledge and consensus about the actual copyright status of many Gallica fonds. It is established that Gallica or BNF cannot release in the public domain works on which it never had any rights (other than a limited permission to simply display those works on its website). That is the case, for example, for the photos by Daniel Cande, that the bot has uploaded to Commons by the thousands and grouped into some 350 categories. It's the same thing with photos by Joël Verhoustraeten, grouped into some 100 categories. It does not matter if Gallica had ever placed or not a public domain notice on works on which it never had the right to do so. Therefore, there is no reason to delay the speedy deletion of such known copyvios, which should be deleted ASAP. By contrast, works that Commons has established might have been validly released to the public domain by Gallica at some point in the past are, for example, photos by Roger Pic, because that photographer ceded his rights to BNF. The bot grouped them in some 350 categories. I would rather keep the photos by Roger Pic, but the difficulty for them might be to prove if they had public domain notices, now some ten years after the removal of those notices from Gallica. It can be noted that apparently the bot started to mass upload Gallica files to Commons after Gallica had already removed most such public domain notices from its pages. They were not CC0 anyway. The bot operator said that there are still inconsistencies between the present non-free notices and some technical parameter, but he should check the notices and should get familiar with past discussions on this subject and with the public domain tags of Commons and understand what CC0 is before launching the bot on mass uploads. -- Asclepias (talk) 21:05, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, the API https://api.bnf.fr/api-gallica-de-recherche used parameter "access", "fayes" = public domain. But yes, sometimes it's not the case. I have already modified the code to use the field "dc.rights" ("restricted use (convention BnF-ADM-xxxx-xxxxxx-xx)") in API returns. I will list all these cases quickly. Gzen92 (talk) 07:28, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Asclepias: The BNF did acquire the copyright of several photographers, including Daniel Cande. That is specifically mentioned in the DR you linked above with a reference. Yann (talk) 09:06, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hadley Airfield

[edit]

Hadley Airfield was not in New Brunswick. I grew up on TEXAS AVE in South Plainfield. Hadley was my next door neighbor which put Hadley in South Plainfield, New Jersey, Hamilton Blvd. There was a big field between us, but nothing was on it but dead grass. My father was a pilot. He didn't fly Hadley's planes, but he did fly bi-planes. I have a picture somewhere of him stepping up onto the wing. His goggles and helmit, I think my brother has possession of them. I was soooooo sad to see a hotel there and Hadley gone, torn down. A lot of history was made in So. Plainfield by Hadley. That area sure has changed. My Grandparents live across the street on Texas Ave, originally UNION AVE. My Great-grandmother was the original owner of that property. She got it for $5.00 down and $1.00 a month, with only a daughter, who became my Grandma, when she married Frank DeFellipo. To fly commercial, Dad moved us to New Hampshire shortly after Grandpa died. I made trips to Grandma house When I grew up. We have to accept change and some times it is sad.
