File:Scientology Symbol with LGBTQ Rainbow Flag.jpg

F3. Derivative work of non-free content. The "S and double triangle" is a trademarked Scientology symbol. This colorful derivative is not something Scientology would ever do... or permit. Grorp (talk) 02:48, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This image

- is a jpeg, although it should be SVG or at least PNG or another lossless format.

- does not even utilise the possibilities of jpeg to display graphics well.

- only incorrectly implements the layout of the original logo.

- gives no indication in the image description where it has been used before or with what purpose.

- is cc0, i.e. has no author who acknowledges the work.

- is not used anywhere.

- contains no indication of what it could be used for in WM or elsewhere.

- is obviously a fantasy product (no documentation of anything) and can (since cc0 and visually very simple) be recreated at any time.

- is obviously intended to shame an existing and legal organisation, without giving any reason as to what purpose this serves or what specific action of the organisation is being criticised.

- has not yet been defended by the uploader.

In sum, the file (as it currently stands) appears to be disruptive to the project. In addition, it is a rule of Commons that there is no claim for an uploader that an uploaded file will be hosted permanently.

Keep This artistic parody of a Scientology logo I created juxtaposes the most recognized symbol of LGBTQ people, the rainbow flag, and places it in protest over the monochromatic, most recognized symbol of a church that holds deeply anti-gay, and anti-trans views and policies. It serves as an abstract illustration of the very real intersection of non-cisgender, non-heterosexual people and the community of Scientology adherents, many of whom are LGBTQ, and is meant to be used on the "Scientology and Homosexuality" Wikipedia page to illustrate the articles intersection of communities. U.S. Code Title 17 Chapter 1 Section 107 gives parodies protection for fair use as a derivative work. According to the US Supreme Court a parody is the use of some elements of a prior author's composition to create a new one that comments on the work and its purpose, and that commentary function provides some justification for use of the older work (see Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc.). See also the Wikipedia derivative work page. Additionally, the original logo consists only of simple geometric shapes or text, and does not meet the threshold of originality needed for copyright protection, and is therefore in the public domain.

Keep 'I am scared of Scientology' is not a valid deletion reason--Trade (talk) 22:27, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The underlying image is copyrighted and is of something that's also subject to trademark law. Minorly changing some religious (or allegedly religious) group's logo by colorizing it in a way that pleases you doesn't appear to be a transformative use or to serve a parodic purpose, but is simply promotional of LGBTQ in a particular context. Commons doesn't exist for hosting LGBTQ-rainbowized duplicates of logos, of which there could potentially be millions. The underlying image does not consist only of simple geometric shapes or text, but is a comparatively complex layering/intertwining of both shapes and text. PS: I say all this as someone under the LGBTQ umbrella, and a long-term Scientology opponent. Just because it may amuse someone to mess with CoS's logo doesn't mean Commons is required to be the web-host for it, especially when the creator of this is trying to improperly shoehorn it into one or more English Wikipedia articles (against the w:en:Wikipedia: No original resarch policy). — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 02:16, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Commons is unfortunately full of images clearly marked as fictitious in their name or description, that doesn't stop people from adding them to mainspace content. Constantine ✍ 21:03, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I support deletion. As Constantine says, such flags are regularly added despite their marking as fictitious. If follow a number of such flags and regularly have to remove them at least in the languages I can handle. There is also another side to this. This file was renamed from 'Flag of Crete.svg' on my request, leaving a redirect that for some policy reason cannot be removed. Now and then it happens that there are templates that check for the presence of 'Flag of Xxx'-files, pick up the redirect and add the redirect target to the template. I have only this week had to manually fix several templates (also in languages I do not understand a word of) to remove a similarly renamed 'Flag of Xxx' file. --TU-nor (talk) 10:31, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Topekaks1951flood.jpg

This image has been uploaded from a National Weather Service web page, where it is sourced to a third party, although it is unclear whether the supplier of the image was actually the photographer and presumably copyright owner.

For many years, hosting such images on the Commons was done in good faith under the rationale that:

public submissions to the NWS all entered the public domain and/or
all files hosted on NWS websites were in the public domain unless they carried a formal copyright notice

An extensive review of this rationale in 2024 revealed that neither of these beliefs held up to scrutiny. These findings were confirmed in an RfC conducted from August to October 2024.

Per COM:ONUS it is the responsibility of the person uploading an image to the Commons or anyone arguing for its retention here to provide evidence of permission from the copyright holder.

The name of the supplier of this image to the NWS is not specific enough to trace their identity, but I note that the image is similar to this one distributed via the ACME newswire, and may even have been taken by the same (anonymous) photographer.

Since this is an image created in the US before 1989, its copyright status will depend on the circumstances of its first publication, in particular, whether it was published before or after March 1, 1989. The earliest known publication of this image is on the NWS website where it was sourced. Unless any evidence of a previous publication can be found, this image is protected for 70 years after the death of its creator, or 120 years (expiring in 2072) if its creator is never identified.

Without evidence to the contrary, this is a presumably unfree file and we must delete it as a precaution under COM:PRP.

Closing admins should familiarise themselves with the evidence and discussions at this RfC when closing this request.

This image is a composite of images taken from different slides of the presentation. All images in the presentation are collectively attributed to a variety of different third-party individuals and organisations on the final slide. It is therefore not clear where either of the constituent images combined here originated and therefore who even to ask about licensing.

Rlandmann (talk) 08:41, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As much as it pains me; since I was the one who submitted the FFU on this one; I’m going to !vote

Weak delete on this on account of the fact that it’s been a month and Wellston FD hasn’t responded to @Rlandmann; although they may have also treated as junk mail and simply ignored it, either way better safe than sorry. And besides there should be an unambiguously free DAT alternative. It is not uncommon for NWS Charleston (And other offices) to have the local fire department or local EMA assist in their surveys. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 19:01, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can confirm there are plenty of ground-level photos of tree damage from this incident in the DAT, but none that show a view like this of the convergent damage from the air. Aerial photos of weather damage taken by the NWS are practically unknown, and even ones by the NOAA seem to be rare. --Rlandmann (talk) 11:18, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rlandmann, I would strongly encourage looking into the other areal tornado pictures then; including ones I posted upload requests on before registering.

Because there is at least one other areal picture taken by the West Virginia Civil Air Patrol of tornado damage in Fayette County, West Virginia. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 23:13, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have the URL of that image?

Although federally funded, the CAP is not a federal agency, and can and does own their own copyrights. I have had senior officers in the Alabama Wing and the Kentucky Wing explain the complexity around image ownership.

More generally, I have yet to see an aerial photo that actually belonged to the NWS; although some have belonged to other federal agencies, including the NOAA and USAF. Most of the aerial damage photos on NWS sites seem to come from state or county-level EMAs or other state or county-level agencies. --Rlandmann (talk) 23:56, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per COM:ONUS it is the responsibility of the person uploading an image to the Commons or anyone arguing for its retention here to provide evidence of permission from the copyright holder.

The original image was taken in the US after 1989, and therefore automatically protected by copyright at the instant of its creation unless ineligible for some reason.

File:Museu do Forte de Copacabana - Rio de Janeiro (35644454153).jpg

Although Brazil has usable freedom of panorama, it does not allow for direct reproductions. In this case, no context is included at all, and therefore in my opinion it may well cross the line. There is no provenance for the image being reproduced, and the motif suggests it to be a post-war work. Felix QW (talk) 09:34, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: There is indeed some context in the image, and, even if it were more apparent, it should not make much difference considering that it is set in a museum, and what surrounds the painting is likely just a plain wall. That said, while there is no credit to the artist in the description, it is present within the image itself. Although I am having some difficulty deciphering it, there is indeed a credit, which suffices for this deletion request. It appears to be by an artist named "[a?]M[r?]artins", created in [19]98, and, because it is permanently displayed in a public space, it qualifies for Brazilian freedom of panorama. Reuses should be approached with some caution, of course (as is the case with the vast majority of content on Commons), considering that attribution is mandatory in this instance.

File:LosAngelesAirTrafficControl.PNG

This file is sourced to a National Weather Service website.

Such sites host a mixture of content created by the US federal government (public domain) and content created by businesses and private individuals (a wide variety of free and unfree licenses). We rely on the captions they were published with to tell us where the photo originated.

Unfortunately, the citation we have points directly to the image itself and so although we can verify that in the Internet Archive, we no longer have access to its copyright and licensing information. The uploader indicated the source as "An associate of the webmaster"

For many years, hosting such images on the Commons was done in good faith under the rationale that:

public submissions to the NWS all entered the public domain and/or
all files hosted on NWS websites were in the public domain unless they carried a formal copyright notice

An extensive review of this rationale in 2024 revealed that neither of these beliefs held up to scrutiny. These findings were confirmed in an RfC conducted from August to October 2024.

Per COM:ONUS it is the responsibility of the person uploading an image to the Commons or anyone arguing for its retention here to provide evidence of permission from the copyright holder. Nevertheless, I reached out to the NWS regional office who published the photo to ask about its origins on September 20, but they never replied. (VRT ticket:2024103110006014)

Since this is an image created in the US after 1989 and we do not know who took it, this is a presumably unfree file and we must delete it as a precaution under COM:PRP.

Closing admins should familiarise themselves with the evidence and discussions at this RfC when closing this request.

I can check to see which page used the image by poking around the Wayback Machine. From https://web.archive.org/web/20050904232814/http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/images/zla/zlacwsu_bldg_n.jpg I see a larger text that says "ZLA CWSU at Los Angeles ARTCC".

I found the image is being used here: https://web.archive.org/web/20041205000431/http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/zla/ I don't see any particular photo credits. disclaimer of the current 2024 page states: "The information on National Weather Service (NWS) Web pages are in the public domain, unless specifically noted otherwise," (When I try to click the archive link on the Wayback Machine page, I got redirected to the current page). WhisperToMe (talk) 01:39, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The page from 2004 stated: "The information on government servers are in the public domain, unless specifically annotated otherwise, and may be used freely by the public." The disclaimer is in all probability free use was presumed for so long. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:42, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @WhisperToMe -- We are now a couple of months into a deep-dive into third-party images hosted on NWS websites. The disclaimer you're pointing to has been found to be completely unreliable as evidence of the copyright status of an image. We have dozens and dozens of confirmed instances where third-party photographers never released their copyrights, and the NWS pubished their images without a formal copyright notice. And, conversely, not a single third-party photographer out of hundreds approached as ever confirmed that yes, they released their image into the public domain. Please read the RfC linked in the DR.

To keep this image, we really need specific and proximate confirmation that this image in particular was released by its creator. --Rlandmann (talk) 03:05, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, it was you who stated that the photo was taken by "An associate of the webmaster".[2] You don't seem to me to be the kind of contributor who would just invent a specific detail like that.

File:Max Headroom broadcast intrusion.webm

File:WGN-TV 'Max Headroom' Incident" (1987).webm

A concern by User:Wound theology, originally posted on the Wikisource talk page of s:Talk:Max Headroom signal hijacking of WTTW: "The copyright template here notes that the source was "legally published within the United States" but the definition of legally published is clearly not applicable here: Publication is the distribution of copies or phonorecords of a work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending [...] A public performance or display of a work does not of itself constitute publication. Emphasis my own." Does Commons agree? SnowyCinema (talk) 13:50, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Racconish, Clindberg, and Yann: What are your thoughts? SnowyCinema (talk) 19:00, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. See here a discussion of the clause "of itself". — Racconish ^💬 19:38, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not so sure what is clear (either direction). Usually, works are published before they are broadcast -- when you even offer the work to a broadcaster, that is often publication right then. The actual act of broadcast does not cause publication. And these days, with digital distribution, the mechanism is different than over-the-air broadcasting and may change things too. For the pirate transmission, that was over the air. Was it published beforehand? That depends on the details of the pirates and how they handled the video. Did one person make it, give it to someone else for purposes of public display? That may be publication. If one person did both, maybe not. Copies were almost certainly made in order to make the pirate transmission, and "publication" depends on how they were handled beforehand. From a practical standpoint, there likely can never be a lawsuit because the copyright owner would have to come forward. Granted, the statute of limitations is long over so maybe that could happen now. I guess it's possible someone made the video privately, and someone else broadcast it (without permission) for fun. If they gave it to a friend without restriction, that on the other hand could be publication. And then there is the legality aspect -- any money made off this copyright may be considered profiting from a crime, similar to graffiti, where we have that somewhat contentious policy which isn't really tested in court. This could well fall under something like that de facto policy. Lots of hypotheticals, really. Fair use, easily. On the theoretical doubt / significant doubt barrier, I don't have a good feel. Kinda in that same area as graffiti to me, really. Carl Lindberg (talk) 02:41, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Clindberg: Being that these tapes are among the most widely-known unsolved media mysteries in modern history, the identity of the masked man in the video, his spanking accomplice (in the second video), and their motives/methods, are in quite high demand but in absolutely no supply. In other words, nobody has any idea about any of it, but a lot of people sure do want to know. There's more speculation than there is fact. I bet people have even put money behind some modern investigations. It seems more likely to me (personally) that the video was broadcasted by the same man who was speaking in the tape, given my reading on the subject puts the likelihood that the person behind this was an anonymized broadcasting-industry professional very high. The likelihood of a small team of technicians/hackers also seems likely. If this is how it happened, according to what you're saying this would mean it would be copyrighted?

As to the likelihood of Max ever "coming out", this seems extremely unlikely (though we may find out who he is through some other means, like someone working on the project at the time or a colleague of Max spilling the beans online with evidence, becoming more likely once people start retiring). The overtly sexual and bizarre nature of especially the second tape is, in my personal opinion, probably a lot of the reason Max never "came out" to this very day.

So if you want to assess it on the grounds of "likelihood of suing for copyright", it's about as low as it gets, as you say, since he'd have to reveal himself in the first place before that (and what reason would he have to sue for copyright?). That being said, Commons seems to make it very clear, that we don't keep things on the grounds of "being likely not to sue", so there might not be a public-domain status we could associate with it.

But in this case, the possibility of a public-domain status (being if he sent the tape to someone else to actually do the broadcast—still unlikely, but not entirely impossible, and we probably won't know for a long time or ever), combined with the absolute lack of desire for anyone to sue over the tape, makes me think that maybe this could be an exception? These are my thoughts on the issue.

c.f. certainly no one really cares about its copyright anyway, but would it hold up in the Wikimedia Commons "courthouse"? SnowyCinema (talk) 14:55, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The pirate broadcast constituted publication, as broadcasting is generally sufficient (either of itself or owing to prior actions) for publication. The reference to “legal[]” publication is for copyright law, not law generally, so even the pirate broadcast counts. The “public performance or display” clause is meant to eliminate cases where a work is shown in a transient form, such as Dr. King’s speech or the exhibition of a painting at a gallery (both cases which interpreted that clause). The new rule of the “public performance or display” clause by its very essence does not apply to cases where the “performance or display” can be retained by electronic devices, which of course is true of broadcasts to individual television units (as opposed to the traditional “public performance or display” of a television broadcast, viz. a filming).

File:Said to be KELVEDON Essex North Eastern Railway Loco 8636 Stopped at Platform.jpg

By their own Flickr user information page, this Flickr account collects an archive of old postcards, of which they are neither the creator nor rights holder. According to this railway enthusiasts' website, the pictured locomotive was only bearing the number 8636 between 1946 and 1950. This implies that, given that this is a British photo unlikely to have been contemporaneously published in the US, it would be copyrighted in the US until at least 2041 inclusive. British copyright depends on whether the photographer is anonymous, in which case it would probably have expired, and their life dates if not. Felix QW (talk) 15:26, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, File:RIAN archive 35861 YCL'ers arrival in Lipetsk.jpg is definitely a different statue than the other one. This one is located on the territory of the company Novolipetsk Steel instead of the square of in front of the administration, and was already there in 1973 when the RIA Novosti photo was taken. I'd also say that the statue is de minimis in File:Administration Lipezk Region.JPG as this photo focuses on the administration building, not the statue. I'm also going to mark all images for transfer to Ru Wikivoyage where they can be hosted without issues according to a new court decision regarding FoP in Russia.

They are not from the download section of the website: http://brestkrepost-film.ru/gallery/download/index.html. And even if they were, Ru Wiki has a poster from the download section (from here: http://brestkrepost-film.ru/gallery/download/poster.html) and it's still only under a fair use rationale (see [7]).

Comment: The uploader says that the authorization was granted by the copyright owner. There was a discussion there in 2011. Was there something in the OTRS ticket mentioned at C:VRT/Noticeboard/Archive 12#Files by User:Vysota1079 or in another ticket? Apparently seven files remained on Commons after the discussion, which may be why the uploader thought that things were fine for those files and that nothing more was needed. -- Asclepias (talk) 18:32, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Monticello church damages 1974 Super Outbreak.jpg

This image has been uploaded from a National Weather Service web page, where it is sourced to a third party, although it is unclear whether the supplier of the image was actually the photographer and presumably copyright owner.

For many years, hosting such images on the Commons was done in good faith under the rationale that:

public submissions to the NWS all entered the public domain and/or
all files hosted on NWS websites were in the public domain unless they carried a formal copyright notice

An extensive review of this rationale in 2024 revealed that neither of these beliefs held up to scrutiny. These findings were confirmed in an RfC conducted from August to October 2024.

Per COM:ONUS it is the responsibility of the person uploading an image to the Commons or anyone arguing for its retention here to provide evidence of permission from the copyright holder or that copyright has expired or never existed.

The NWS credits the Monticello Herald newspaper for this image, but this image does not look like a scan of a newspaper, and may have been an unpublished image from the newspaper archives. Unfortuntely, this period of the Herald has not been digitized, at least not for public access, so I have not been able to search it.

Conversely, although the Herald published a commemorative issue in 2014 and a photo gallery of the tornado damage in 2019, this image is not among them.

I emailed the newspaper asking about the image on September 20, but received no response. (VRT ticket:2024103110011124)

Since this is an image created in the US before 1989, its copyright status will depend on the circumstances of its first publication, in particular, whether it was published before or after March 1, 1989. The earliest known publication of this image is on the NWS website where it was sourced. Unless any evidence of a previous publication can be found, this image is protected for 70 years after the death of its creator, or 120 years (2095) if its creator is never identified or if it were a work for hire belonging to the newspaper.

Without evidence to the contrary, this is a presumably unfree file and we must delete it as a precaution under COM:PRP.

Closing admins should familiarise themselves with the evidence and discussions at this RfC when closing this request.

I am going to temporarily

Abstain from !voting on this one; and give it another week or two just to be sure. Because it is an organization; it might take a while for them to reply to @Rlandmann. If no reply is seen by November 15; I will update it to delete. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 18:56, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for calling my attention to this potential copyright issue. The statue is in front of and owned by the Colores Mexicanos store. If I receive written permission from them to use the photo, would that satisfy the copyright requirement? Michael Geary (talk) 18:10, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
