Representation of Smurf character Gargamel, created by cartoonist Peyo (d. 1992). The picture falls under Commons:Derivative works and cannot be licensed under the GFDL. --Jastrow (Λέγετε) 16:21, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

- What about the right to pastiche or caricature existing in France or Germany? Oxam Hartog 21:28, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Comment. This right is subordinate to the clear mention of author and source, which is not the case here. Besides, there must be no possible confusion with the original content, which is not the case here IMO: fact is this picture is (was) used to illustrate articles about Gargamel without any warning whatsoever. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 21:49, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- I am not ok with the POV about clear mention of author and source . often pastiche but more caricature are used in owner works (comics, movies) where spectator has to find itself the references. However in the present case I can understand the claim about derivation. Oxam Hartog 22:39, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- Re: your 1st point, that's what I gather from [1]. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 22:59, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- It's not the same case. The judgment publication insist strongly than a lot of pages were used, not a single image. Here a page about pastiches of Tintin. Author spécify it's better if the diffusion of work is not too large. On Commons the rule is a large diffusion possible also it's perharps better to delete this pic or strongly mentioned in description the reference to pastiche. It's quite funny but on fr: a pic is in delation request about almost similar problem here. Oxam Hartog 23:58, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Paintings by Chen Cheng-po
[edit]Artist died in 1947, copyright is still valid. A.J. 12:50, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Delete A.J. 12:52, 1 January 2007 (UTC)- Keep The picture is at least under the "PD-China"-License which is more liberal than the Western ones: The Copyright ends already 50 years after the death of the painter.--Dr. Meierhofer 16:44, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

bad quality, blurry --Patricia.fidi 13:24, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- My first instinct was to agree with the deletion as it is quite blurry, but this appears to be a photo of a specific 2006 World Cup celebration and used to illustrate an article on de wiki. Since it's useful enough to appear in an article and since getting a better replacement is unlikely, I'd say to Keep. Carl Lindberg 09:48, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

This file uses the old series maps with wrong borders in the East. Further the file is redundant to Image:Europe location TUR.png and Image:Asia location TUR.png --David Liuzzo 15:57, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- Keep As the uploader, I shall state that I was not informed of this deletion request by the nominator, as requested in the guideline. I do not agree that the map is made obsolete by Image:Europe location TUR.png (since on which almost half of the subject country is covered by a legend) and Image:Asia location TUR.png (showing the country with reference to a different region). Nevertheless, this image ceased to be used as the locator map for en:Turkey (the main reason of its creation), since it currently represents an obsolete design. Given it is not redundant to another image, I do not see why it should be deleted from Commons and I think it remains potentially usable on Wikimedia projects. I do not certainly see any wrong borders in the image, but any factual inaccuracy can be corrected if the problem is clearly stated. Regards, AtilimGunesBaydin 16:57, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- Keep per Atilim.. Baristarim 03:11, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- I as creator of the source material for this image should state that it this image violated the common design scheme of both, the old and new Europe location design scheme by marking Turkey that way. See for example Image:Europelocation_England.PNG which marks which concentrates on the relevant territory of England while leaving the rest of Great Britain it in a paler coler or (in the new series) Image:Europe_location_RUS.png which highlights both EU & Asian territory in different colors.
- Europe location TUR2.png implies that the whole of Turkey would lie in Europe which is actually considered wrong. Either there have to be used two colors or the marking of the continent as in the location map Image:Europe location AZN.png has to be cleared out. By the way, this is also valid for Image:Asia location TUR.png, so that this image also will either be adapted soon or requested for deletion, too. I apologize for not informing you of this request, but the implementation of the new 2007 series which I made on New Year's day was just so labour intensive that I forgot about it.
- The wrong borders in the East can be seen at the border of Europe/Asia along the Ural river. This has been corrected in the new map series. The old images showing the wrong borderd will either be corrected/replaced by the new series or requested for deletion. --David Liuzzo 17:26, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the response. My intention for creating this derivative work was to illustrate Turkey's geographical location with reference to the European continent. I do not agree that the coloring in the image necessarily implies that the whole country is situated on the European continent, but I now see that it's somewhat ambiguous and could be interpreted that way by individuals without a knowledge of geography. I also notice now the problem with the boundary along the Ural river. One possible solution for both problems would be to remove the gray shading from the image, which I'm going to attempt now. I'm also truly sorry that you somehow feel a "violation", I wish you had contacted me about your concerns. Regards, AtilimGunesBaydin 22:09, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- Also, thanks for noticing the exact same problem with Image:Asia location TUR.png. Since you are the creator of that image, I guess I can make a request that you make a correction instead of nominating for deletion. AtilimGunesBaydin 22:13, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- The removement of the grey shading makes the map acceptable. There will be a new version of the Asia image, as well as new maps for other countries for that area. But I do not have any time for major enterprises at the moment.--David Liuzzo 22:26, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

According to the site from which the image comes from, the owner reserves copyright on its content.[2] There is no evidence that Cabel Sasser has released the image into the public domain. The uploader of this image has uploaded copyrighted images before, claiming them to be in the public domain when they aren't, and continued to do so after being warned not to do so anymore.

- Sorry about that. Under the "PlayStation 3" heading, in the second paragraph, click on the phrase "undoubtedly huge", and you'll see the image pop up. Regardless, pretty much every page on the site features the text "©2006 Cabel Sasser" at the bottom, and there is no reason to believe that it doesn't apply to images from the site.

OTRS complaint #2007010210018552: it is claimed that the image is not PD-USGov, but instead a private photograph given to the Edwards Air Force Base history office for their use.

Derivative of copyrighted Pokemon image – Oh noez, 32x42 pixels of the 800x500 pixels resemble a yellowish something. It should be possible to blank out the label of the game cartridge if necessary.

Reasons for deletion request: The painter Dulac died in 1953. I cannot understand, why this picture should be pd. The same holds for the pictures in [4] Philipendula 01:18, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete : but perharps someone could drop a message on en: page because it's a big part of the article. I remove link on fr: page. Oxam Hartog 22:04, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- Ugh, these are used a lot. Project Gutenberg thinks these are public domain, at least in the US, and they are likely right — but, they may be copyrighted in many other places. Dulac was a Frenchman living and working in London... according to w:Edumund Dulac, he sold the rights to his illustrations to the London printing house though. In this case, the book was published in London in 1911, and may have been simultaneously published elsewhere. A similar image came up before and was kept. It would seem normally that the copyright would be owned by the British publishing company until 2024, but as it may be considered part of a "collective" work, and it may have been published in multiple places... I'm not sure which set of laws would apply. Carl Lindberg 05:10, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete all of the Dulac illustrations. 70years p.m.a. applies. These illustrations are at best PD-US only. As non-U.S. works, they cannot be used under a PD-US claim here on the commons. (But they could be used under such a claim at the en WP.) Lupo 15:40, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I am quite in doubt that this was really shot by NARA. More likely it looks like a family album photo. Unless there is a source that states that this is PD-US it should be deleted --84.168.234.223 08:30, 2 January 2007 (UTC) Look here. It's from the captured section of German stuff. So yes, it currently resides in NARA. Why delete it? --Lhademmor 13:34, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- Because while it is PD in the US (for reasons other than given on the PD-US tag), it is still copyrighted in Germany, and therefore the rest of Europe (except maybe the UK which has a similar exception). That is probably not free enough for commons, though a good argument can be made for keeping it on en wiki. Carl Lindberg 09:54, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. German photograph that is still copyrighted in Germany. US-specific tags such as PD-US or also PD-USGov-NARA are not applicable as they are U.S.-only. The image may, as Carl pointed out, be used at the en: WP under such a claim as it might be PD as seized enemy property in the U.S., but that doesn't work here on the commons. In the UK, the Enemy Property Act extinguished copyrights in the UK only on seized enemy property that was brought into the UK between September 1, 1939 and July 9, 1951.[5] All these German photos from the NARA holdings should be used on the en: WP only. (And even there used with great care only. AFAIK, 17 USC 104A(a)(2) exempts from copyright restoration only works that (a) were once managed by the office of the Alien Property Custodian and (b) where the restored copyright would be held by a government. So one would need to show that the author (and initial copyright holder) signed away his rights to the German state or the NSDAP to be able to make that PD-NARA claim at the en: WP for such Nazi photos.) Lupo 08:37, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- I think that the NSDAP owned the rights to anything it produced -- apparently the German Supreme Court ruled[6] that way with Leni Riefenstahl's "Triumph of the Will". The German government set up an entire company (Transit-Film) to deal with that material, so I'm guessing that situation (NSDAP ownership) was common in that era. If the NARA indicates it's PD in the US, I think it's reasonable to assume that it's OK for en wiki as the only way the PD claim is true is via the Alien Property Custodian stuff. But it's not OK for commons. Carl Lindberg 05:53, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

- Keep There is a trap: copyright of banknotes and of the common faces of euro coins belongs to EU, which indeed allows the reproduction (see [7]) => No problem. But the copyright for national faces of coins follows national rules, so the EU licence does not apply, and if must be discussed case by case. Furthermore, some contries explicitely forbid non authorised reproductions (Ireland, see [8]), so these photographs should be deleted anyway (afaik). —the preceding unsigned comment is by Micheletb (talk • contribs)

Picture so short --> nearly as a stamp... --Patricia.fidi 10:17, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
- Source page appears to be here, which is a slightly larger version. But it is explicitly a by-nc creative commons license there,
not free enough for commons and definitely not PD as claimed. The version of the page that existed when this image was uploaded archive.org link has no copyright notice at all. The image seems to be orphaned as well.
- The uploader goes by the same real name and nickname as the original author, and I don't think we have reason to doubt they are one and the same and that he's free to re-license the work. I can't say whether image size or being an orphan is cause for deletion, but I don't see a copyright issue. —LX (talk, contribs) 15:30, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- Whoops, I completely missed that -- thanks. Yes, the license is fine. We can't use the larger version on the named site, but this one is OK.

The release given in the email posted on this page does not appear to support the claim that this image is released under an attribution-only license; rather, it appears to be a specific grant of permission for Wikipedia. I'm nominating it here instead of for speedy because it seems possible that this was not the intent of the email, or that the copyright holder will be willing to release the image under a free license if asked.

Hi Thomas, You may feel free to use the photos available via the University of Rhode Island's Tambora web page (www.uri.edu/news/tambora) to illustrate the Tambora pages of Wikipedia. Please simply credit the University for the photos. Thanks. Todd McLeish URI News Bureau 401-874-7892

- An administrator have copy/past the code you have forgotten on the log page. If you forget it: requests for deletion are not listed and we can't have a discussion.
- I've ask the designer (Graham Bartram) of this flag to send me the licence. It is the first thing to do: get a contact with the designer when he has an email and then copy/past the licence. Best regards. --Patricia.fidi 01:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

- No problem. I do not even know Klaes has an email address, let alone, if he is alive. The flag is 40 years old and many of the people who have founded FIAV are either old aged or have passed on. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 20:29, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Keep
- The copyright about the images done by Mr. Bartram himself on his website, not on anything that he has ever made.
- Second, the copyright I had for the flag in the first place was a CC license, which was copied by the uploader, who has always uploaded my work from en.wikipedia to here.
- Third, FIAV knows about the existance of the image and is fine with it. I know this because the Secretary General of FIAV, Charles Spain, commented to me privately about the image I have made. I wish to quote the email:
- "If FIAV has ever claimed the FIAV flag as a "mark" for intellectual-property purposes, I'm not aware of it. I wouldn't think FIAV has any copyright interest in your rendering of the flag. I'm not an IP lawyer, although I am a lawyer, but my layman's guess is that you are the author of the work as far as your drawing of the FIAV flag. In any event, I haven't heard that anyone is the slightest bit upset, and when someone in this group is, there never seems to be any inhibition about self-expression. Speaking personally, I think it looks great."
- One more thing, Mr. Bartram didn't create the FIAV flag, but Klaes Sierksma did, according to [14]. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 02:02, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for my insistance but according Zscout370 this flag is 40 years old, probably the same thing about basis drawing. For me, rigths of creator run 70 years after death of this one. Lawfully, this drawing can't be to copy. Oxam Hartog 19:13, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- I do not know where the creator lived, but if the organization that is using the flag says "Go ahead, use it," I believe that should be fine. I can have Mr. Spain send an email to OTRS and they can review it. There is a FIAV meeting in Germany this year, so I will get someone's attention at the meeting.

The motivation is the OTRS ticket, i.e. we have been requested to delete all the images from the national museums of Florence. This is only the beginning. --Cruccone 23:33, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- By whom? By the museums? If so, this deletion request is misplaced. Contact Brad Patrick about it. I don't think the museums have any copyright on these old reliquia etc. What reason for deleting these images is given in the OTRS ticket? If the museums are trying to enforce their house rules, which probably do not allow photography: AFAIK our usual position is that we don't honor their house rules. If someone breaks their house rules and does take photos, that's his or her risk to take. WP as a tertiary publisher of such images cannot be held liable for a break of some house rules committed by a third party, i.e. the photographer. Thus, I would delete these images only if the Foundation's legal counsel (that's Brad) concurs that the images should be removed. Lupo 09:14, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- I am the uploader of those files, I will prefer them to be deleted if the uploading was not legal. I would like to be informed about how the question goes on. I really apologize, I'm very sad for causing this. Thanks for understanding. --Sailko 10:51, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- 1st sorry for my bad english. I'm not a lawyer, but the problem seem to be a recent (2004) italian law [17] that give to "Ministero dei Beni culturali" the decision about the right to reproduce all the artistic, archeologic, architectural, etc. place&thing in Italy, whatever is their age. If the reproduction (photo, video, digital photo) are for pesonal use (and relesing it with a "free" license obviously isn't personal use) and the Ministero (or a local section) don't sell the exclusive right of reproduction to some company, a person can take photo, etc. without asking for permission. In all other case (ie photo for commercial use) a permission must be given preventively, ad the "ministero dei Beni culturali" or local section or the company that buy the right of reproduction, and these organization decide every time if give or refus this permission, and how much this permission cost (from 0 to infinite). If the permission is given, per person must give to the Ministero a "printing" of the image. --Yoggysot 23:59, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- This is a bad place to discuss this problem. If you are correct, then the images are obvious copyright violations and can be speedy deleted. That's no problem. But the important question is whether you are correct. I would like opinions from people who know something about Italian copyright law, such as it:Utente:Senpai.
- However, to be on the safe side, I'll delete the images first of all. Better safe than sorry.

The picture was taken at a concert where broadcasting rights and publicity rights apply. There is a discussion here that pertains to the image. --ShadowHalo 10:28, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- comment: This picture was caught up in a dispute over Wikipedia:Fair use criteria. The releveant bits of the discussion where publishing and broadcasting rights (or rather as I understoood it) is here. It would be useful to get some consensus over the status of pictures taken in "un-free" performances (performances/concerts in which admission $$$ is charged) and what sort of rights issues exist in such concerts/performances. --Eqdoktor 12:15, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- As far as I know we do not care about publicity rights on Commons. About broadcasting rights I don't know. Can you point out which broadcasting rights apply here? -- Bryan (talk to me) 11:59, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- Keep this image was submitted for deletion consideration under the premise that the person making this image was under a contractual obligation not to (i.e. an admission ticket prohibiting commercial photography). While some venues prohibit such photography, others do not, and such prohibitions may vary by artist and by performance as well. In this case, there is no evidence presented one way or the other that any such restrictions applied. In short, this IfD has been submitted on speculation, and we have no ready means to prove it one way or the other. If we remove this image based upon speculation rather than fact, then we should remove any image that doesn't come with a notarized release demonstrating that the uploader indeed held the appropriate copyrights. Obviously, we don't do that here. We do not remove images based upon mere speculation. Rklawton 04:31, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Rlawton is correct. Keep. --MichaelMaggs 11:54, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

- The discussion at Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Range-Murata-03.jpg seems relevant. Since no deletion request from the subject has been alleged, nor is likely to be verifiable, I don't think publicity rights apply. Image:Gene1.jpg is an example of an image where publicity rights are alleged. The image has been retained. Wsiegmund 20:33, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Image will be public domain in 2015. Meanwhile it is only « fair use » which is contrary to Commons policy and prohibited on fr.wikipedia as well. This image is far from being forgotten by the publisher which still makes profit from books containing this image. He is likely to disagree with publication in Wikipedia. Plenty of children possess albums with this image and will be able to scan it when they are grown up and the image is finally in public domain. By the way the uploader is blocked forever on fr.wikipedia for various serious reasons so it is impossible to contact him/her to get more details about any special permission he might have obtained. — Jérôme Borme 16:23, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Quotation
This is not a stand-alone picture, but an excerpt from "L'idée fixe du savant Cosinus" by Christophe (ISBN 2-200-37032-6). First published in 1899 by "Librairie Armand Colin", author died in 1945, the rights for the book (which is a comics strips, not plain text) seem to belong to Hachette Livre. It does not fall into the category "Scans or reproductive photographs of copyrighted artwork, especially book covers, album/CD covers, etc", since the reproduction is not of the whole strip, but of a portion of it. It does fall under Berne convention, Art. 10-a:
- "It shall be permissible to make quotations from a work which has already been lawfully made available to the public, provided that their making is compatible with fair practice, and their extent does not exceed that justified by the purpose, including quotations from newspaper articles and periodicals in the form of press summaries."
There is no reason to use any "fair use" exception, since quotations are alowed by the Berne convention -which applies internationally-, and do not depend on US-specific laws. Examine the case:
- A quotation is "free material", meaning that it can be used and re-used without having to pay or ask for any permission.
- Acknowledgement of author is required (accepted on commons).
- Publication of derivative work under the same license is required (accepted on commons).
- Not limited to a use by Wikipedia only.
- Not limited to Noncommercial/Educational use only.

There is a restriction to the use of a quotation (it must be inserted as a quotation in a wider work, not be used as a stand-alone), but then, the same applies to all pictures with only a GFDL licence, which cannot be used outside a "GNU free documentation licence", i.e. inserted inside a free document.
I suggest to create & use some kind of GFDL licence with a "Invariant Section" (See GFDL art. 1) stating ♦ The copyright information attached to the source, ♦ A disclaimer, that the quotation is being used under the quotation mechanism of the Berne convention, ♦ A warning, that for any other use, the legality must be checked against the copyright information.
This picture is a good "case study" for that. Micheletb 07:49, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

- Quotation needs context to be embedded into. The nature of Commons is an image repository, so there is no embedding context. I might be lawful to use a picture in a Wikipedia article but images on Commons have to be free and reusable without the context of a Wikipedia article.
- I don't know if I understand your arguing about the invariant section. The "invariant section" of the GFDL does only apply for "Secondary Sections" (This is an "appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. [20]) So images cannot be a invariant section.

- Possible, but as you point out Iraqi law needs clarification. Who owns the copyright the image is a key question unanswered at the point. Is it the Iraqi Federal Government's work or the Iraqi Kurdistan feleral states work? Compare to US federal structure as state flags are not auto PD. I'd rather avoid a "PD-inelligable" approach and have a basis for copyright. Other laws in question may restrict the right to copy globally --Cat out 02:49, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[35] says that after 50 years of publication of works created by unknown authors, the work will become public domain. So 1920+50=1970.

- Look, you incorrectly tagged three images on my watchlist as lacking source / licensing information, when they actually had that information. I removed the tags on the assumption that since you were new here you'd used the wrong process, and suggested on your talk page that you bring the pictures here if you felt the licenses provided do not accurately reflect their copyright status (I don't think they're a problem, as I said then, but people often disagree about these things, which is why we have this forum).

Anyway, we're all interested parties - we're all working towards the common interst of building a better encyclopedia. -- Vadakkan 19:17, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

- Keep: This picture is not a copyvio. User:Nataraja took it himself in 1997! Shakti 22:57, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- Keep You can't copy a 200x283 pixel thumbnail and get an 535x756 pixel image without losing quality. The image name (200px-Gopuram-madurai.jpg) is typical for a thumbnail generated by the MediaWiki software. So IMHO someone copied the (thumbnailed) commons image to photobucket.com rather than the other way round. --88.134.44.28 11:21, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Redistribution of these files in electronic or other forms to third parties and in the Web are prohibited, without prior permission obtained from Project Madurai authorities." Srkris 19:03, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- Comment The use of the Tolkappiyam text from whatever source is not copyrighted. Where this was taken off a screenshot of from a book shouldn't matter. - Venu62 19:08, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- Comment So Project Madurai's license message I've cited above for their ebooks is void? Please note this is not about the content of the ebook, but a snapshot of an ebook created by them. They hold copyrights for their ebooks, not the source content. Srkris 19:27, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- Comment In countries which recognise copyright in typographical layouts (as some European countries do), Project Madurai *might* be able to argue that it has a copyrightable interest in a text they have prepared (which, I suspect, is what they're talking about). However, neither India (where the screenshot was made) nor the United States (where Wikimedia's servers are located) recognise a copyright in typographical layouts, so for the purposes of Commons this image isn't a copyvio. -- Vadakkan 22:31, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

- Comment, why did User:Venu62 remove this comment he made here just a few minutes back? Srkris 19:36, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- Comment because it was a mistake. I did make a scan, but never uploaded it. It was a few months ago. Venu62 19:40, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- Comment OK I will assume good faith, although you removed your comment after User:Vadakkan pointed out that it is not Ptolemy's map. This image still shows you as its uploader, though. And anyone can guess the source of the image. Its modified now (cropped), which may not meet the PD criteria. Srkris 19:51, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- I never denied I uploaded it. It was in May 2006. I have done thousands of edits since then. I can upload my other scan if necessary. But as Vadakkan says, the current image should meet PD criteria. - Venu62 19:53, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- Its clearly taken from the source pointed out by Vadakkan, and its cropped, which makes it a modified image. We dont know whether the source image itself is a modified one (or whether its a contemporary copy of the original). I will assume good faith regarding your upload source, that doesnt make it PD anyhow since its modified. Srkris 20:13, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- CommentMerely cropping an image does not create a new copyright; if the original is PD than the crop is PD too. If there are additional artistic or otherwise creative changes made as well, only then is the new work copyrighted by the new author (pending the expiration of copyright on the original work, as the new work is still a derivative).

- Comment The statement is still there, why do you think I removed it? But you cant upload your friends' snaps without them expressly releasing their rights. Here it is clearly lifted from a website as I've mentioned above. Srkris
- Comment as the original uploader released it under CC, it is only natural that someone else might have reused the image from this encyclopedia. Venu62 19:10, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

- Comment That's not how copyrights work. Good faith is for user edits, not for copyvios. Srkris 19:23, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Without the assumption of goodfaith the project will collpase. Unless there is an obvious copyvio, then AGF should be assumed. Venu62 19:44, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- Comment I have pointed out an obvious copyvio. One doesnt assume good faith against obvious copyvios. Not after I know the mentality and past record of some persons. Srkris 19:53, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Keep to the discussion. No personal attacks please. As the image was released under CC, it is not uncommon for some others to use it in their websites as well. How can one be sure which image was uploaded first? - Venu62 19:56, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

- Comment This image has been on commons since March 2005, and apparently was on en wiki even before that. It's entirely possible that the mentioned site copied this image from Wikipedia, and not the other way around.

Our Wikipedia pictures are free to use, we just ask for a link to our official web site. If this is not possible we can change it to "restrictions — For example, provided that credit is given" as mentioned in the Wikipedia example. We just don't want people to credit these pictures as they own. I think the most important reason for having these pictures here at Wikipedia is to give an impression about NT and Darwin. Our policy (Tourism NT - owner of travelnt.com) is to provide high quality images that reveal the Northern Territory’s beauty and character. The images capture the diverse range of landscapes and experiences across its regions and can be used to promote the Northern Territory.

I've tried with both hands to assume good faith, but it just isn't working. I cannot bring myself to believe that Tony Hawk's wife Lhotse Merriam uploaded this image to Commons herself. It's just so much more likely to be a copyvio. —Angr 18:09, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- The talk page for Lhotse Merriam claims that she is User:Lhotsem (and the editing history vaguely supports that). But as she appears in the photo, there's a good chance someone else owns the copyright. --Davepape 20:23, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- That would likely depend on the contract between the Hawks and their wedding photographer (I think these days, sometimes the photographer keeps copyright, sometimes not). Given that editing history... I would side with the good faith assumption unless some more concrete evidence of a copyvio shows up. I did a quick image search for this and did not turn up copies anywhere else on the web. Carl Lindberg 16:54, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Reasons for deletion request Spsmiler 22:19, 12 January 2007 (UTC) A better version of this image has been uplifted, without the green stripe on the front of the underground train. The newer version has a slightly different file name, and the usage has been altered to reflect this change.
- I think Image:1938-&-501-at-Harlesden.jpg was the intended replacement. It is a very similar picture, but not quite the same. Additionally, the nominated picture is in use on en-wiki, and the replacement has a '&' character in its name which currently gives MediaWiki problems when generating thumbnails, so it may not be usable until MediaWiki is fixed. So, I would say to Keep. Carl Lindberg 16:31, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

If your gripe with them is they aren't interwiki's please consider most English speakers haven't a clue as to what the interwiki bar is or that it's a link at all. Consider as well, there are three commonly linked places for all other languages interwiki's
A) the categories here
B) The categories on en.wp
C) The articles on en.wp.

deleted. I deleted this template – and all similar ones. Instead of creating templates like this, every single image, category and user page can be linked via interwiki links. Interwiki links are easy to maintain, they need no space, and as a software implementation they are used and accepted on every single project, you don’t have to deal with individual templates for the same effect. Furthermore, a suitable image or category description may also contain links to your local project. It’s simply impossible to use templates like this for several languages and different projects. Please focus on content and quality descriptions instead of template spamming. There were pages with a dozen different templates (newbies like that!) but a brief description of the category’s content was missing. It also doesn’t matter here on Wikimedia Commons, how category structures on en.wikipedia.org look like or if there is a local project, which uses files from commons (“This image, category, or template is used by the Military history WikiProjec on the English Wikipedia”). See also Commons:Language policy. --Polarlys 19:13, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

- The design of your alarm clock or your dinner plate is probably not copyrighted in the same way Mickey Mouse is. Please keep apart works of art (the Pokemon) and objects of daily use (gaming consoles, dinner plates), the latter of which generally are not works in the sense of copyright, or, depending on jurisdiction, do not show enough originality for the vastly increased prerequisites for copyright protection of such objects. They are generally protected by design patents, which may or may not (depending on jurisdiction again) hinder commercial use of pictures for anything but quotation-like contexts, but that's not our problem, since it's entirely independent of copyright and thus not something that we should care about.--NSX-Racer 16:30, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Deleted. Regardless of whether there can be copyright in the shape of the phone itself (I tend to think not as it's so simple) this is at the very least a clear copyvio of the logos on the screen. There is an interesting article which supports this on Wikinews, though interestingly this image is even used there. See [43].

Moving from speedy deletion to Deletion Requests. Two possible problems:
- The copyrighted window frame
- The copyrighted icons from MSN and ICQ
I think the blue frame is very likely to be PD-ineligble. If it however is a problem, would "just a plain blue frame" without close buttons a problem? And about the logos, they are very much minor details, like the logos on cars.

My own upload actually. But I can't very well just speedy delete it, when it is used on so many pages. I uploaded this coat of arms with a PD template because I learned that the current coat of arms of Stockholm was created in 1934. However, I know understand that while the arms was granted in 1934, this illustration was probably created much later. I do not know when, unfortunately, because it was first uploaded on English Wikipedia by a user who is now absent.

- Template? May be... But emblems must stay. They are official symbols of state projects and {{PD-RU-exempt}}. They placed on every official document of the projects and was placed on rost.ru in EPS-format (I haven't got Adobe Illustrator and didn't can to convert them to SVG).
- Also. This template can be deleted only with Template:Kremlin.ru, which is used on Commons from 19 August 2005. Both of them have same text. And also Rost.ru is sub-site of Kremlin.ru. Also some images on Kremlin.ru are state symbols, {{PD-RU-exempt}} and cann't be deleted.

I don't understand why do you want to delete images marked with template Kremlin.ru and similar templates. It is clear written on the description page - "могут быть воспроизведены в любых средствах массовой информации, на сайтах в Интернете или на любых иных носителях без каких-либо ограничений по объему и срокам публикации." For sure it means that we can do derivative works - "без каких-либо ограничений по объему" = "without any limitation in size", so, it tells that we can take any part (small or large without limitations) of the picture and reproduce it. If we need we can also take another part of the picture and reproduce it as well near the first part. We can also add near these parts a part created by ourself - isn't it derivative work? yes. Was it allowed by "без каких-либо ограничений по объему" - sure, yes. Why does this question appeared at all? MaxiMaxiMax 18:00, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- без каких-либо ограничений по объему could mean quote (my understanding) of any size or any kind of derivative work (your understanding).
- I think best solution to this problem - to request clarification of legal speak on these sites.
- EugeneZelenko 15:06, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- I also agree with you that it means "any quote" - for example, take quote of 10x10, then combine it with another quote from this picture and with you own picture. Isn't it derivated work? yes, and it's allowed by this text. MaxiMaxiMax 15:16, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- Combination of quote with other images is one kind of derivative work. What is about distortion of original image? --EugeneZelenko 15:25, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- It's not written there, but I don't think there is any reson for them to deny it. For example when you print their picture in black and white newspaper you change it's colors, but it is clearly allowed. So, we may crop any part of this picture, change it's color, size, etc, combine with other pictures, what else do you need? MaxiMaxiMax 15:37, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- Combination of quote with other images is one kind of derivative work. What is about distortion of original image? --EugeneZelenko 15:25, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- Changing colors is not reproduction :-)
- I repeat my point again: we need to send requests for clarification of terms of use for avoiding such discussions in future.
- EugeneZelenko 15:40, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- But changing of colors is allowed if they allow to print it in newspapers, isn't it? If you want, for sure, you can write to them. Unfortunately people who are responsible for such decisions concerning Russian sites are usually unreachable and never answer. I tried once to ask something about copyright on the data from the site of Russian Parliament - no answer yet. But may be you will be lucky. MaxiMaxiMax 15:55, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- I was not lucky in case of Kremlin.ru. May be will be good idea to organize flashmob with similar requests on Russian Wikipedia. Of course, if e-mails are not deleted there at arrival :-) --EugeneZelenko 15:52, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- I think it is better to Keep these images now, but I'm distinctly understand what we can do it only at our own risk. I'm agree with Eugene, we must clear their legal status in a short time. My opinion about the discussion above: "quoting", even "any", is not equal to "any use". We shouldn't (and can't!) make a legal verdict by ourselves instead of materials' owners. The permission from there is suitable for texts, but is unclear for images. Coat of arms are not a problem, they are PD-RU-exempt.
But what do you think about photographs, taken somewhere at a some event? Does the publication at kremlin.ru changes it's legal status to the public domain automatically? Does kremlin.ru (and Russian government) gain exclusive rights in the all cases? Are the all photographers the official employees of the Government? I don't know it now.I've read more carefully, they mean all materials, but the problem with quoting is here as before. 08:41, 20 January 2007 (UTC) --Panther 17:49, 19 January 2007 (UTC)- Dear Panther. Is vote keep for license tags only or for incorrect maps too?
- "Any", is not equal to "any use". Yes, but any use of Russian flag and COA is deprecated too. ;-) There are some situations, then you cann't use images of Russian state symbols.--Alex Spade 20:42, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

This image was listed for speedy deletion as derivative work. I however have doubts to that. This image depicts a w:Balrog, a creature from Tolkien's world. However, Tolkien himself never drew a Balrog, only gave a textual description of it. So this is totally an artist impression. ---- Bryan (talk to me) 21:14, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - Entirely true, but that does not stop it from being a derivative work. Otherwise someone could create images of all the characters / major scenes in a book and sell them... without owing anything to the original author. Or even make a movie of the book. Neither is allowed under copyright law. Anything which has been transferred from one form of media to another (in this case written words to a static image) is a derivative work by definition and precisely what the law was meant to cover. The image above intrudes upon the copyright of the books... and the movies (which were themselves licensed derivative works) for that matter. --CBDunkerson 21:26, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

- (edit conflict) "and its licensees" sounds like it's intended to refer to city-data's business partners, rather than all visitors to the site (most people outside the free content world don't think of viewers as licensees). --Davepape 03:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

- Oof. The image appears to be in the style of artwork by Palmer Cox (died 1924). The links on the image page indicate it comes from a flag sold in 1980 or 1990. There's nothing left of the flag's origin though in the image itself... if this was actual artwork done by Cox and just reproduced on the flag (seems reasonably likely), then this image is really just a copy of the original artwork, no longer copyrighted, and so would be PD-old. If this was original artwork done in the style of Palmer Cox by the flag company, then it's not OK. The original GFDL tag is almost definitely wrong though. Carl Lindberg 09:40, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

- Hi, you are confused by multi licensing, which is something else then combining images. The GFDL and CC-by-sa are legally incompatible with each other (that's why copyleft sucks). You can however ask the original creators to multi license them under the GFDL and the CC-by-sa. Then it will be a valid image. -- Bryan (talk to me) 15:50, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- What we tend to do is just explicitly say which part of the image is under which license. I wouldn't delete a composite image as long as all the composite licenses were free, even if they're non-compatible. But anyway as this concerns me (!) I am happy to dual license that work with the GFDL. So the license issue need not be a problem. --pfctdayelise (说什么?) 02:33, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Copied from an archive, author unknown, archive allows only non-commercial use (not that this matters, the archive is very likely not the copyright holder) --88.134.44.28 16:53, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- As I wrote on the image's page: The photograph is in the "archive of construction history of the town of Zurich" (BAZ) where every one can go and use the items there for free. citation from the archiv's home page (http://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/internet/hbd/home/erinnern/baugeschichtliches_archiv.html) on january 17th, 2007: "Das Angebot steht Mitarbeitenden der Stadtverwaltung und der Öffentlichkeit zur Verfügung. Die Benutzung der Bestände und die Beratung im Haus sind kostenlos." (german for: The collection is avaible for employes from municipal adminnistration services and the public. The use of the items and counselling is for free.) In fact, as a regulary user of this archive: you have to pay the cost for the reproduction (e.g. 0.20 Fr. for a photocopy), but you can also thake photgraphs without flash, etc. with no costs.
- Copyright and copyright holder: most of the items in the BAZ archive are photographs taken by officials from the town exactly for this archive who tells about changing from the town since 1877. The copyright of this photograph was by ZOS Tramway Company until take over trough Municipal Tramway Company, a branch of the town of Zurich, now and here represented by the BAZ archive, a branch of the municipal archive, a branch of the town of Zurich.
- furthermore there are are lot of commercial products using photographs from the BAZ archiv and they mention always "BAZ" as source or if the name of the photographer is known "name/BAZ". for ex. books from "Orell Füssli" or "Neue Zürcher Zeitung". In 2000 I published a small book with two or three photographs from them and they asked only to give them one book for their library and one for the archiv.--Eruedin 11:40, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- All right. First, "kostenlos" is "free as in beer", not "free as in libre". Commons wants libre. Second: given the provenance you cited (ZOS, takeover by ZVV or whatever it's called these days, in any case an official branch of the city administration, to which the archive also belongs), we may assume that the archive indeed holds the (economic) rights on that image. Hence their non-commercial-only claim does hold, which makes the image non-free. However, given that you've already dealt with this archive and had no problems getting permission to use images, why don't you just ask them whether they'd release it under {{CC-BY-SA-2.5}}, with attribution to the archive? Maybe they can even tell you who took the image back in the 1920s/1930s (my guess). Otherwise, I'm afraid this would have to be deleted. Lupo 12:50, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- It's called VBZ (ZVV it's only the collective marketing and ticket selling organisation).

I do not think we want such a category. What falls within Kurdistan is disputed. There are way too many maps out there each as valid as last person drawn them. The only valid images that should be in this category are various Kurdistan maps we have on commons which are generally more about "Kurdish inhabitance" related which can be seen on Kurdish people --Cat out 22:00, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. 24 Wikipedia projects have this category. Fear of bad maps on Google is no reason to delete part of our navigation system. Jkelly 22:15, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- This isn't fear of bad maps. Google shows that there is no agreement on borders. What will be our inclusion criteria? This isn't wikipedia, this is commons. Would images from Diyarbakir, London and Paris fall within "Kurdistan"? --Cat out 22:51, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- I have to admit that I'm just guessing as to what point you're trying to make, but the presence of this category on other projects suggests that plenty of other people have found it a useful way to categorise material, and that there will be media produced that one would expect to find in it. The last point seems to be some argument against all categories, but if some hypothetical users puts inappropriate media into the category, they can be removed.

- Right. This isn't an international dispute. If Country X claimed Y number of cities or provinces thats fine by me.

There is no "Kurdistan" claiming to be independent. --Cat out 23:42, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- I have not mentioned anything about it claiming to be independent or not. I hope we can agree that the borders of Kurdistan is somewhat unclear. As long as the status of the region is unclear it could be practical to have a category for it. And also if there should be agreement.
- This is surely not a recognised country. But this is a larger geographic region for which it could be practical to have it's own category. --|EPO| 00:02, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- It is also a fact that Kurdistan is a "proposed country" by some Kurds who seek independence. I think it is important to weight the topic on its controversial angles as well as others.
- Kurdistan isn't a geographic region (unlike Asia) but a geo-cultural region which is defined by "where Kurds happen to live". Why do we need a controversially titled category with inclusion criteria being "where Kurds happen to live"?

Think about it logically for a second: There is no way of knowing if the subject is underaged because nothing in the photograph indicates what her age is. Therefore, unless the uploader shows up claiming that the subject is underaged, there is no reason to believe the image is not legal. What little of her you can see doesn't look underaged at all. --12.218.150.28 07:47, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

This is a picture of the Stravinsky Fountain in Paris. Niki de Saint Phalle died in 2002, Jean Tinguely in 1991. Their work is are still copyrighted. France has no freedom of panorama.
Unfortunately the same argument applies to the contents of:
- Category:Fontaine Stravinsky (except maybe Image:Paris Fontaines Tinguely Niki Saint Phalle 03.JPG because of the Terreaux case)
- Giardino dei Tarocchi (located in Tuscany, no freedom of panorama in Italy either)
- Category:Le Cyclop (a collaborative work by Tinguely and 15 other major contemporary artists, located near Paris)

This template is so far only used on four images, COAs and flags of Costa Rican territories. It just says "This image is a work of the Costa Rican Goverment the image is in the public domain." We need some proof of this law if it is true - just a link to a page in English or Spanish which details that works of the CR government are public domain. If such a link is added then I withdraw this request. I couldn't find any relevant info in Wikipedia or Google about government works, though. --pfctdayelise (说什么?) 02:45, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Nothing in the Copyright law of Costa Rica suggests that governmental works were not subject to copyright. Article 75 allows only the faithful reproduction of the constitution, laws, decrees, administrative acts, etc. Article 63 reads "El Estado, los consejos municipales y las corporaciones oficiales gozarán de la protección de esta ley, pero, en cuanto a los derechos patrimoniales, los tendrán únicamente por veinticinco años, contados desde la publicación de la obra, salvo tratándose de entidades públicas, que tengan por objeto el ejercicio de esos derechos como actividad ordinaria; en cuyo caso la protección será de cincuenta años." Could someone who understands both Spanish and English translate this, please? To me, this looks like the state and other institutions are granted a copyright for 25 years since publication, or even 50 years in some cases. The general copyright term in Costa Rica is 70 years p.m.a (§58). (BTW, the Collection of National Copyright Laws from the UNESCO is a quite useful resource.) Lupo 20:11, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- Great link, thanks, Lupo! pfctdayelise (说什么?) 23:57, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- The Collection of Laws for Electronic Access at WIPO also has a lot of laws online, including English translations. In this case, you can search for "Costa Rica copyright" and it does have a link for an English version. In the limitations section (§75), it says: Any person shall be allowed to reproduce freely constitutions, laws, decrees, municipal decisions, regulations and other public instruments, subject to the obligation to conform strictly to the official edition. That might work for flags, but little else. Article 63 says The State, the municipal councils and the official corporations shall enjoy the protection of this Law, but, as far as economic rights are concerned, only for 25 years from the date of publication of the work, except in the case of public bodies whose purpose is the exercise of such rights as their normal activity, in which case protection shall be for 50 years. So, maybe government works are OK 25 years after publication, but I don't see anything justifying the current wording on this template. It may be a legitimate template to have if the current text is replaced by the 25-year term information. Carl Lindberg 08:58, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, CLEA is pretty good, too. Sometimes a bit harder to navigate, but also more complete than UNESCO. I didn't occur to me to look at CLEA for the Costa Rican law :-( For the CIS nations and the three Baltic states, CIPR has all their copyright laws easily accessibly.
- As far as the template here is concerned, I'm still in favor of deletion. On what works can the "State, the municipal councils and the official corporations" hold copyrights? The law appears to be silent on the issue of who the original rights holder is, only §6 makes mention of a legal entity as an original rights holder. Hence one would need to show that the physical author(s) of a work of the "State, the municipal councils and the official corporations" did indeed transfer their economic rights to those entities to be able to apply the 25-year (or 50-year) term. It's just too unclear. BTW, §66 is interesting: if a rights holder who is a natural person has no heirs, or they eschew the inheritance, the copyright expires on the rights holder's death!

[edit]
I uploaded these two images from Wikipedia solely based on a pd-user licensing information; there was not actual soruce, not even a "I took this image" blurb. User who uploaded it has a history of no source problelms. I think we should take the side of caution here and delete these two images, lest we get a DMCA notice from a professional photographer or something. The stunning quality of these images indicates some kind of professional nature to them - the first one, for instance, looks like a helicopter shot. Would like more source information than just trusting the user's word. Hbdragon88 04:15, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Some images have metadata, and those which do have the same camere information. 4. Most of the images uploaded by the user have dimensions 600 or 900 pixels. 5. I don't see anything that would clearly indicate that a photo is taken from a helicopter.
All combined, it seems very possible that these images are made by the uploader. Samulili 19:08, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Uploader claims to have taken this photo himself, but Abraham Goldfaden died in 1908. Regards, High on a tree 09:48, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- If the original was public domain, then the user could apply his own artistic effects to create a new work, if the alterations were creative enough... he would own copyright on the alterations and could license those. However, we may need to know the original source to make sure it is PD, otherwise the license may not be correct. Plus, the original photo may be more useful as well if it is in fact PD. Carl Lindberg 00:52, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- Never said i took a photo! this is a kind of artwork: there is not any single pixel of this image you can find similar to any other image found in internet or elsewhere. In addition, some portraits of him was taken around 1880. I can't believe there's a copyright matter about it. --Yuma 03:26, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Simply changing every pixel isn't enough -- this is still a derivative work of the original photo (you don't get around that on technicalities). If the original photo is PD, then there is no problem here -- you own the copyright to your alterations, and can license it as you wish. However, we need to know which photo you used as the source so that can be verified. The source is quite likely PD, but it's not definite -- if the photographer died in 1937 or later then it may not yet be PD (depending on which country's law is applicable). Carl Lindberg 15:27, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry if I gave you the impression to get around it. I just said my opinion, probably misunderstanding the matter. I'm asking for speedy deletion for this and a few other images uploaded by me: like this one, I was absolutely sure to create some kind of original artwork, but I guess I misunderstood about it, and about nature of derivative work. I'm sorry because of the lack of images in biographies... next time I will make a pencil drawing. --Yuma 01:48, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

This object is a cup, so in fact a 3D object. I don't believe PD-Art can apply, but I'm asking for sure. -- Bibi Saint-Pol (sprechen) 13:46, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. For all practical reasons, a tondo (interior of a kylix cup) is similar to a 2D artwork. No originality involved there. I am not inclined to accept PD-Art claims for many vase-painting pictures, but tondos are OK for me. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 15:25, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- Keep ACK Jastrow, and if not, PD-old should apply at least. -- AM 15:39, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- Comment PD-old applies to the picture itself, not to the subject it represents. The vase here is obviously very old, but the picture is not. The issue is about the photographer's rights. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 16:22, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- I had a funny feeling about that, but why is the discussion about "PD-Art" then?? -- AM 20:37, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- {{PD-Art}} applies the en:Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp. case law, which holds that exact photographic copies of public domain paintings are not original and therefore not subject to copyright protection. The exhibit here represented is the interior of a kylix cup (which is in the public domain since some centuries now). Bibi Saint-Pol points out a vase is a 3D (not 2D) object; a tondo presents a slight inward curve indeed.
- The question is, is this sufficient to dismiss application of Bridgeman v. Corel? If not, we must respect the photographer's rights and delete the picture. If it does, the picture itself is not protected by copyright as such and we can keep it. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 08:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- Keep its more of a 2D object than a 3D one. You see the whole image in this picture - its not like a vase where you could choose which part of it to photograph.. here theres only one option, so its essentially 2D --Astrokey44 03:38, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Previously tagged as fair use and thus speedy. But I am posting here instead because of my question: Could this be permitted under freedom of panorama laws? --Zzyzx11 01:06, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- This was earlier tagged {{Trademarked}}, which is more accurate I think. I don't think there are any copyright issues with the photo, which was licensed appropriately before it was tagged fair use. We don't allow pure logos, but photos of trademarked items are a bit different. The question may be is the photo taken just for the logo, or to depict the entrance to Microsoft's campus? It's close to the line, but I'll go for a weak Keep. Carl Lindberg 00:55, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- Somewhat keep: Freedom of Panorama in the US: Anyone may take photographs of buildings from public places. The photographer holds the exclusive copyright to such an image (the architect or owner of the building has no say whatsoever), and may publish the image in any way.

This category is not useful. If it's in use, we have all peoples, cars, maps and ogg files in it. GeorgHH 19:58, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- The category has three primary uses:
- To combat geocoding related vandalism: Enwikipedia's geographic data is finally being put to use, w:Google Earth now includes it as an overlay. But we have discovered that it is highly vulnerable to sneaky vandalism. For example, A not so sneaky example is putting a coordinates of the United States White House on Penis. This sort of vandalism is hard to detect because a helpful addition doesn't look different from vandalism. This category helps us detect vandalism by marking media which should never be geocoded by anyone. (I have a bot that can detect the addition of geocoding to any page which has ever had this category).
- To assist in searching in the somewhat near future: We will eventually have searches which allow boolean operations. By including or excluding objects in this category a searching user can focus their search on objects without fixed locations or only include such objects. It is true that it will have many types of files in it, but it does split the space of all files into two groups... as such it is useful, especially once the regular user interface allowed it to be combined with other categories.
- Most importantly, this category aids in finding images which need to be geocoded. Before I had this category if I made a list of non-geocoded images of mine I would get a mixture of images which need to be geocoded and images which should not ever be geocoded. With this category I can tag the things which should not be geocoded once and then the next time I look for things which need geocoding, I can exclude those objects and only see the new images that need geocoding. An image on commons has three possible primary geocoding related states: "Geocoded", "Should not be geocoded", and "undetermined". Without an additional mechanism like this category we can not tell the latter two states apart in an automated fashion.
These reasons were explained on the category page, but I hope that I've stated them more clearly now. --Gmaxwell 20:27, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- No comments to convince me otherwise.. so Keep. Perhaps I should have someone other than me close this? :) --Gmaxwell 03:07, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete We shouldn't have categories that are the default or expected situation. Just like Category:Images should probably be empty (damn CommonSense...). If it at all necessary to mark items that should never be geocoded, it would be better to do it through an "invisible" means like inclusion of a template that doesn't display anything, then use Whatlinkshere on the template. pfctdayelise (说什么?) 07:52, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- I just did a random sample of 30 images and I would say that 15 should be geocoded. 50/50 selectivity is pretty good. Converting it into a template would make it inaccessable from search tools. A bad idea. Today, I can now search for my images which need to be geocoded: like this. Please don't take that away from me. --Gmaxwell 08:03, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- That's a pretty inexact way of searching for your images, if you mean images you uploaded. Note CatScan has an option to filter things by template used (or not!: "inverse"). I am sure Duesentrieb could be talked into adding that to a tool such as Gallery. For that matter, your Gallery already tells you which "tags" (templates) are used on each image. Templates are far from "inaccessible". I don't feel like this is a good way to use categories, but it does feel like a good way to use templates. pfctdayelise (说什么?) 08:23, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- This application is entirely not what templates are for, which is adding repetitive human readable content for display. If we're going to abuse foolinks we could just as well insert text linking to a page, or even an interwiki. It's an abuse none the less. Please don't be confused about the purpose of categories just because our current category pages are far from ideal. Categories are opaque human and machine readable tags that classify media so we can find it. Category:Location not applicable is a classification and although it is somewhat unusual, it is still a useful one. --Gmaxwell 08:49, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- Also, if the category intersection tool proves so humungously useful, we can easily add a category to a template in the future, to utilise it. So using a template now doesn't preclude using categories as well in the future. pfctdayelise (说什么?) 08:26, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- It's still not equal, ... one can't figure out what cats are in use from the wikitext dump without a full parser and all the templates, it's pretty miserable. Templates = trash for machine readability. Obviously I could just scan for the template, but it's ugly to introduce yet another tagging system and ugly to have to special case every possible weird tagging system we use. I also don't see how one is supposed to find these empty template system tags, unless we start putting empty templates in the empty templates and make up a whole parallel hierarchy of 'invisible categories' out of templates. Then of course we'll have to update our search tools to work equally with templates and categories? .. and all that just so we can, effectively, have a second category namespace which lacks user transparency (doesn't appear to do anything at all on the image page), and has less powerful built in browsing.
- Quite frankly I don't see any benefit to using an empty template rather than a category to tag things, it's just confusing ... and for what purpose? To me it seems like your suggestion is more painting the shed (or laying ones thumbprint as some say?) than a material improvement. --Gmaxwell 08:49, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- That's a pretty inexact way of searching for your images, if you mean images you uploaded. Note CatScan has an option to filter things by template used (or not!: "inverse"). I am sure Duesentrieb could be talked into adding that to a tool such as Gallery. For that matter, your Gallery already tells you which "tags" (templates) are used on each image. Templates are far from "inaccessible". I don't feel like this is a good way to use categories, but it does feel like a good way to use templates. pfctdayelise (说什么?) 08:23, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- I feel certain that there is a way to easily determine which templates are used on a page - MW already does it (the list appears below the edit box). Oh yes, there is... ([51]) And going the other way around (from template to pages that use the template), we have Whatlinkshere. Why I am hesitant to use categories, is for two reasons: one is that it increases the number of "meta" categories that give some property of the file, instead of describing its content. "Meta" categories make it much harder for tools like OrphanImages to work accurately. An image which is only in Category:Location not applicable is actually still an orphan, despite appearances otherwise. The second is related, that it is just more screen clutter, and makes it harder to notice that an image doesn't have any valid categories.
- (Actually, it would be quite cool if we could have a second category namespace, just for "meta" categories. Do you think it's possible? :)) I am not 100% against categories. But I think we need more input from others, maybe. pfctdayelise (说什么?) 09:03, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- You can tell were a template is used, but only if you are on the active site (via templatelinks table) or if you have a full wikitext parser. The use of templates for licensing is what forces Google earth to screen scrape wikipedia rather than using our dumps. I pointed out in my reply that the non-machine readability is only in issue outside of mediawiki itself.
- In this case it is not at all a meta category, it describes the content: "This an image of something which doesn't have a fixed earth space location".
- Further, we can easily adjust the orphanimages tool to ignore some categories. Already the existence of any license template adds a category and thus makes an image non-orphaned from the perspective of categories.
- As far as clutter goes, .. not having a good category should only be an issue on an image which has very few categories, which shouldn't be one which is suffering from clutter. --Gmaxwell 01:15, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. With respect, I disagree with pfctdayelise; the "default circumstance" is that the image has not yet been geocoded, but should be if possible. This template is used to indicate that the image has been evaluated and determined to be inapplicable for geocoding. Which is what Greg said above. Kelly Martin 01:21, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Delete Absolutely nonsense category. When we put all images in this category, where geocodes are not possible, we will have a category with more than 2 million files soon. And this is not good for the Serverperformance. ChristianBier (talk) 10:45, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Keep Sorry, but if you do not understand its usefullness, or are in no way involved with the geocoding project, then you should refrain from making decission on its part. The reasons for keeping this category were clearly stated above. Nothing has changed since then. There is zero benefit in deliting this category. You would only make life harder for people who are trying to improve commons. I fail to see the motivation behind this DR. Just baffles me. --Dschwen (talk) 17:40, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Keep. This category is essential for Commons:Geocoding to process all images on Commons. For geocoding there are three possible states (unprocessed, has geocoding, will never have geocoding), while dates, descriptions and similar singular goals can have only two. The category is used by at least tools:~para/GeoCommons/geocodingtodo.php to only show the images yet to be geocoded, and the tool cannot work without the filtering this category provides. On the database side a a single line for each image is not a problem, see w:Wikipedia:Don't worry about performance. --Para (talk) 18:28, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Reasons for deletion request: A template for making ordinary wikilinks is only confusing in wikitext ({{W2c|page name}} gives the same result as [[pagename]]). I think the template should be substituted and deleted 81.229.40.224 10:15, 21 January 2007 (UTC) ([52]] Delete Tag moved to Talk page--too many pages being affected. FrankB)
- Strong Oppose — This template is integral to cross-sister documentation efforts in categories and tagging and porting useful tool templates as are shared between sister projects. It originally was a work around for the fact that [[Commons:Deletion_requests/Template:W2c]] used to give a badlink, whereas it displays Template:W2c. However, it's main use is from on other sisters to refer to pages here on the commons.
Admittedly, the template on Mediawiki Commons has little direct benefit, but it is a interwiki tool, not just for the commons, and keeping compatibility is a prime goal of the project—if only to minimize the necessary maintenance manhours going forward. It and others like it enable the same text (help, documentation, and etc. to be shared word for word on the different sisters, allowing centralized maintenance for such—without which, all porting of changed text will require hand edits for each and every sister when a change is promulgated. // FrankB 00:01, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- I think compatibility between projects is better achieved by using simple wiki syntax. Not by adding lots of templates with strange names that one has to remember. There already is simple easy to use syntax for both internal and external links. [[page]] or [[page|display text]] for internal links and [[prefix:page|]] or [[prefix:page|display title]] for external wikilinks is much simpler than a template that does exactly the same thing./81.229.40.181 09:53, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- There is nothing simple to converting cross-sister text for export and compatibility across wiki sister project's. With these, one can globally replace the ']]' pairs in a text editor, and then the '[[' and be back in business immediately and have automatically pipetricked links working for all sisters... Your premise assumes going to every link in documentation and manually creating a pipetrick. Bad enough all such porting and link has to be done by hand edits across two to nine different URLs. These templates are primarily used on category notations and especially in template documentation notations. Anyone viewing such a page via navigation sees the same thing when they hover over a link. Anyone editing such pages is familiar with templates sufficiently, that seeing them, or the ubiquitious equivilent originating here very quickly learns what they do. // FrankB 13:12, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Most of these were made before Derivative works became policy. These were previously nominated as part of a much larger nomination at Deletion requests/Image:Middle earth map showing prominent locations.PNG, but it was closed early and taken to COM:AN) Part of the reason it failed was because it nominated many categories for deletion including fanart, so here I will nominate the middle earth maps separately. There were some strong arguments for them being deleted as being derivatives of Tolkien's copyrighted works. (some of them actually were deleted before) ----Astrokey44 04:26, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- Comment - I think it comes down to copyright law and Commons policy. If, as I think 'derivative works' applies, ANY sort of map meant to depict a region of Tolkien's world, even areas he did not create maps for himself, is subject to Tolkien's copyright then I think these all have to go... though I'd like to move some of them to en-wikip for 'fair use'. I'd hope that there is some sort of exception for maps or at least 'maps of places which were only described in writing', but I doubt that is the case. In short, I really really don't want these to be deleted... but I think they are supposed to be. --CBDunkerson 11:40, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Comment - I agree with CBDunkerson. The maps probably have to go, but it would be nice if we could still link to them at an external sites, as most of them are very, very good. One way of using some of them under fair use would be as an illustrative fair use to accompany an article that actually references the descriptions used to depict the boundaries in, for example Image:Arnor.gif. Even if this is not possible, I hope Astrokey (who, I think, created most, if not all of these maps) would consider creating a website somewhere that could be linked to. That would remove any legal concerns that Wikipedia has, as long as the maps themselves are OK with the w:Tolkien Estate. BTW, why does the trademark tag reference w:Tolkien Enterprises and not the Tolkien Estate? Carcharoth (Commons) 13:49, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Keep There were more images because you emptied this category to put the files with other miscategorized pictures in Category:Mosques of Syria. I have reverted your changes. Now, Category:Mosques of Syria is a redirect. --Juiced lemon 11:10, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Alright, I removed the "delete" template from the category page. Hope this in/of problem be solved some day. Orionist 02:05, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Serious problems with copyright status. Looking at the edit history, the original license terms were "Wikipedia only". Further, the uploader does not appear to be the copyright holder, so he can't change the license terms. --Carnildo 11:12, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

(Note that he apparently produced a video showing the operation of this bike, so it's not hard to believe he could photograph it too.)

The bridge shown on this image is not that hundred year old bridge. Here are two new bridges, one of them (which is closer) rests on the piers of the old one. The old bridge which won Grand-Prix at the World's Fair in 1900 is currently being dismantled [57], if not already. This image from 2003 shows only one its arch but it is hardly seen, in the right corner between two other. Here is the satellite photo of these bridges [58].
I think it is better to upload an image from [59] or [60], though I don't know about their copyright status but these photos must be more than one hundred year old. Neko 17:18, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Almost all (if by that you mean "majority") of the pictures that I have uploaded are either real non-screenshot pictures with expired copyright (authors are often not mentioned because the pictures were taken so long ago that in many cases the names of their authors are unknown even in the countries they were taken in.

or pictures that I took with my very own camera, thus indicating "Personal archive" as a source. You may also have got the impression that my pictures are copyvio because back when I was new at this, in some cases instead of adding info to an existing picture and removing the tag that someone had put, I would reupload the file and let the old one be deleted.

Contains so many errors I stopped counting. Ok, for a start: 1. Large chunks of Thailand are shown to be part of British India on the left, of Myanmar on the right. Wrong. 2. Tibet was not occupied by China until 1950. 3. Sikkim was not part of India, British or independent, until 1975. 4. Tajikistan & Turkmenistan were not independent states before 1991. 5. Neither Portuguese nor French India appear on either map. 6. Large Chunks of Kashmere and Aksai Chin that India only claims but does not de facto control are indiscriminately shown to be part of its territory 8. I would ascribe this to nationalist POV, but then the Andaman Islands are shown NOT to be a part of India on either map, though in fact they are. 9. Ceylon is shown as a part of British India. It was in fact a distinct colony. 10. Nor was Bhutan part of British India. 11. Nor did the City of Chandigarh exist before the 1950s 12. Quite a few placenames are anachronistic. And so on and so forth. --Janneman 14:27, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Tagged with PD-Coa-Germany, but is not a coat of arms. -- Fred Chess 13:55, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- There are two reasons for undeletion: See Commons:Undeletion_requests/Current_requests#Image:Logo_tu-dresden.jpg. I also have questioned why the template is only concretising to coat of arms while the §5 of the law refers to all official works in general. Geo-Loge 14:37, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- Keep A university logo is an de:Amtliches Werk under §5 of the UrhG. For an explanation of why this is so, see the end of this conversation. As such, it is free to use. As far as the template is concerned, "Wappen" in German is somewhat wider than "Coat of Arms", and includes many things which might in English be described as a "crest" or "emblem". The English text on the template probably needs to be changed to conform more closely to the German. -- Arvind 22:19, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- I've just realised that my comment above is fabulously vague. Essentially, under §5 of the German Copyright Law, official works by public authorities are not covered by copyright. As the discussion I linked to above explains, a university logo is considered an official work for the purpose of §5. The result is that it is not entitled to copyright, and there is no reason at all for deleting this logo.
- The reason there is some confusion is because the template uses "Coat of arms" to translate "Wappen". This should be changed, to better reflect the meaning of "Wappen" in German. -- Arvind 20:36, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- I don't find the arguments on Lupo's talk page to be convicing, but it is possible that de:Amtliches Wappen would render it PD. I have to admit I don't understand that page completely, but since there are no German users who argue for deletion I will assume that it could be ok.

REASON : copyvio suspected
- The main subject of the photo is the artists' work, called The Gate. The artists, Christo and Jeanne-Claude are famous for actively acts against unautorized photo publications, because their own photos are their source of money. I'm not sure the « that's my own photo » is enough to autorize publication on Internet, even if the photo was taken in a public place. Depends of the US laws. It's actually under CC licence and not "copyrighted material". Maybe a problem, cause on the FR wikipedia, copyrighted pictures are banned.
- I put the {{copyvio}} tag. Sorry, I don't want to spend 3 hours understanding the deep subtility of commons rules.
- The Gate, New York City, 2005. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christo for the artist page.
- There are a few other pictures from Christo artwork, on wikipedia. See EN or FR, for example.
--Ironie 19:44, 30 December 2006 (UTC) (but on fr:User:Ironie is better)
- I'm not really convinced by the arguments above, but this photo at Flickr is tagged with "All rights reserved", flickr.com. Thuresson 23:00, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- The Flickr tag is a moot point since the photo was taken by User:AnnaKucsma. This is a tricky issue that requires extensive knowledge of the US copyright laws. But this isn't just about this image, but probably the entitre Category:The Gates or even Category:Christo. // Liftarn
- Delete. The artists are still alive and their work is still copyrighted. Freedom of panorama applies only to buildings in the USA, whereas The Gates are more akin to a sculpture. The entire Category:The Gates should be deleted as well. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 21:11, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

- The above photo was taken on a public city street and thus does not warrant deletion for several reasons clearly defined under US law.
- The photo is art and protected by United States law. Consent of subjects is not required to publish artistic photos, so long as they are not used commercially or depicted in the nude. The subjects are neither nude or engaged in sexual activity.
- See case: Nussenzweig v. diCorcia
- Individual moral biases do not constitute grounds for removing an artistic, non-commercial image from wikipedia.

- Your moral insecurities and religious beliefs are not grounds for deleting a picture. Opinion is irrelevant when judging objectively. The only fact you have proven is that you are biased.
- The man is a pimp and she is a prostitute. I speak Russian fluently and understood their entire conversation. You should visit Lviv's central bus station before accusing me of lying.

- you have to understand a couple of things.
- - Nussenzweig lost his case primarily because he was late (Statute of Limitations)
- - Civil Rights Laws §§ 50 and 51 prohibit the unconsented-to use of identity within the State of New York "for advertising purposes or for the purposes of trade." you are using a case which is limited regionally and Wikicommons applies worldwide
- - Even if it was not limited regionally, the fact is that DiCorcia owns the rights and can limit further use "for advertising purposes or for the purposes of trade.", which does not apply to pictures on WikiCommons where (I quote) "you are free to distribute and modify the file as long as you attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor."

- I think (I hope) that I answered your questions. Diligent 01:53, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- Wikipedia Foundation Inc.' is incorporated in the United States, not worldwide. Your globalization fantasy has gone a little too far. The Nussenzweig case set a further precedent for all other cases that are tried in the United States. You did know US law is based on precedence? As the owner of the picture, one that was taken in a public place as a form of art, I am entitled to release it as free domain should I choose to, with or without permission of the subjects.
- Whether the subject finds it offensive is totally irrevlant.
- Nussenzweig v. diCorcia: Thus, in Arrington, supra, the Court of Appeals recognized that an African American man's image was being used in a manner that conveyed viewpoints that were offensive to him. It nonetheless found the use of the image protected.
- DiCorcio won thanks to the backing of over 100 years of case law, not the statue of limitations. The judge clearly states the case was based on the "merit's of the parties' arguments" Try reading the full case, not just snippets from wikipedia.
- Since however, there is a split of authority among the departments regarding the issue of the accrual of the statute of limitations, the issue is still open for interpretation by the Court of Appeals. The court will, therefore, go on to also consider the merits of the parties' arguments.

Statue by Picasso. According to uploader's user page, this statue is located in Paris. No freedom of panorama in France --Davepape 02:46, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Note that the Disney statue deletion request is also about a statue. I'll ask for someone to restate that part of the Freedom of panorama page more clearly. --Davepape 15:13, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. There is no freedom of panorama in France, with only one exception created by Sté Antenne 2 c/ Sté Spadem and the case of the Terreaux Place, in which the court holds that representation of an artwork placed in a public location is lawful only if the said work is incidental in respect of the main subject of the picture. Clearly, this is not the case here: the statue by Picasso is the main subject. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 18:54, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Reasons for deletion request: We regret, but we liked to upload our cuneiform signs not to be altered and for non-commercial use only. Since this is not possible, please delete all png-files from B001ellst.png to B470ellst.png. The cuneiform fonts are available at Selbstverlag Dr. Friedrich Ellemeier, Hardegsen bei Göttingen. Mstudt 06:36, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- this is most unfortunate, since I was very pleased to see your uploads as a sign of academia warming up to the free content idea. You realize, I suppose, that if you release an image as PD (as Image:B001ellst.png), you forgo all rights, but that if you release it under CC (as Image:B450ellst.png), you retain full copyright? On the legal side, it appears that font design is not copyrightable in the US, but it is in Germany,
- there is a recent law, the so-called "Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original designs [...] some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in Germany. [70]
- I am not sure how this translates to the present case. Dbachmann 10:18, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

This is probably a unfree image. I assume that Hezbollah or someone affiliated with it holds the copyright on this flag, and there's no indication that they have put the flag under a free licence. The present licence tags seem to be intended to indicate that the SVG drawing of the flag is copyleft, but that does not make the flag it is based on copyleft. --Sandstein 22:35, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose - Rationale for deletion is completely baseless as SVG file was not produced by Hezbollah. There are plenty of similar images in Category:SVG flags, and there is no reason to treat this image any differently. -- 82.32.191.92 23:00, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- It's not about the SVG, it's about the logo itself, which is copyrighted by Hezbollah (or whoever). If you make a SVG copy of a copyrighted image, you violate the copyright on the original image. The other items in Category:SVG flags are probably mostly public domain as flags of states, but if some are not, they should also be deleted. Sandstein 23:18, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
I don't really understand by what principle of copyright law national flags are said to be automatically copyright-free (as opposed to all other flags). I wonder if anyone could point to a specific unambiguous legal provision on this point. The rationale for having a Hezbollah flag is much the same as for any national government flag -- it conducts wars separately from the central government of Lebanon, and it has a foreign policy which is distinct from that of the central government of Lebanon, and it's convenient to have a shorthand graphic way of referring to it... AnonMoos 01:01, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- The copyright status of flags varies according to the laws of the respective countries, but most countries have made their flags public domain or something like it; see e.g. Image:Flag of Austria.svg, and/or the flags are so simple they can't be copyrighted; see e.g. Image:Flag of Switzerland.svg. Neither is the case in this instance. The logo appears to be copyrightable and as far as we know the copyright owner hasn't released it into the public domain. Whether it's convenient for us to have the flag is not relevant. Sandstein 06:18, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) Hezbollah is not old enough for it to be PD-old, right? Most of the other flags on the commons are (though, many are improperly noted as GFDL-self). That being said, the use of flags is generally considered public domain by most people of their own countries, and Hezbollah freely distributes the use of the flag (it has no monetary purpose for it). I would assert this is fairly close to PD, even if not explictly stated (I know that's not good enough, but it's the best I can do). Patstuart 06:19, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- No, most national flags are NOT old enough for them to be PD-OLD, considering that the number of independent nations in the world has roughly quadrupled since WW2, and that the flags of many of the nations which were independent before WW2 have changed since then (the current U.S. flag only dates from 1960). And it's nonsense to say that "the use of flags is generally considered public domain by most people of their own countries" -- legally they're either in the public domain or not in the public domain, according to the laws of the particular country (regardless of what "most people" "consider" them to be), and many governments restrict commercial use of national symbols (which means that they're in fact NOT in the "public domain" as this is generally understood). I OPPOSE the deletion of this image until someone can demonstrate to me any significant difference between the legal status of the Hezbollah flag and a number of national flags. AnonMoos 12:08, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- No, Hezbollah was founded in 1985, and at any rate, is not a country, but an organisation, so it's a logo at issue here, not a flag per se. We simply do not know whether "Hezbollah freely distributes the use of the flag" (as in, putting it under a free licence). Wikipedia, in Flag of Hezbollah, makes no such claim. They may distribute items with the logo on it, but that's obviously not the same. Whether or not they have a monetary interest in it may or may not be the case and is irrelevant for copyright purposes. Sandstein 07:02, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- OK then. Let's look at another example: Image:Flag of the United Nations.svg. According to the United Nations flag code and regulations, commercial use of this emblem is forbidden. So we should delete this

- I think that discussion reached a conclusion that is contrary to Commons' licensing policy and that it did so based on one part defiance of the policy and one part misunderstanding of copyright legislation (neglecting to differentiate between primary depiction and incidental inclusion and to consider the huge differences in freedom of panorama provisions in different jurisdictions). —LX (talk, contribs) 09:20, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- Dude, we're waiting for you to give us a good reason why you singled out the Hezbollah flag, when the Hezbollah flag is not any individual special problematic case, but is merely one random exemplification of an issue that could possibly affect many other images on Commons. If you want to start a discussion on the general issue, then you should start a discussion on the general issue, instead of merely picking on the Hezbollah flag. As long as you're not giving us a good reason why you specially singled out the Hezbollah flag in particular (among all the other possibilities), then I remain opposed to the deletion of this image... AnonMoos 08:04, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- Please assume good faith; maybe Sandstein simply came across the Hezbollah flag without seeing the others, rather than having "singled it out," dude. En masse nominations are the exception on COM:DEL, not the norm, because in general, there are very few "geral issues." For example, the F1 black flag would be ineligible for copyright protection, whereas most of the other flags listed are eligible, and some of those might in turn be found to have an acceptable licence. "But you have an article on this equally insignificant garage band" is not a valid argument for keeping articles that are not encyclopædically notable on Wikipedia. The same is true on Commons. The reason the others haven't been nominated is that they haven't been nominated yet; it's that simple. Putting your own assumptions of bad faith before the question of whether this image complies or violates the licensing policy is purely obstructive behaviour. —LX (talk, contribs) 09:20, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

- Comment I think it's not only a question to keep this image or not. Many flags are more than just some arranged colors. Are we going to delete them all? This can't be the way to go, there must be some legal way to keep them. As long as we don't have a (semi-)professional statement about this, I think we should avoid copyright paranoia.

Keep, an example of {{PD-ineligible}}. Kjetil_r 20:10, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- That's not so. The flag contains original drawings of a weapon, an arm, a mosque and a globe; together they certainly qualify for copyright protection under any standard I'm aware of. Sandstein 21:28, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- A German court has ruled that Image:SED-Logo.png has no Schöpfungshöhe. If this logo does not qualify for copyright protection, neither does this flag (in Germany at least). It is hard to judge some of these flags, but in my opinion is not the Hezbollah flag eligible for copyright protection. Kjetil_r 07:25, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- That was a singular decision much criticised by scholarship; it is generally assumed to have been politically motivated. Note that that image is not actually tagged with {{PD-ineligible}} - that tag is not about lack of Schöpfungshöhe, but states "... consists entirely of information that is common property and contains no original authorship." That's patently not the case here, if alone for the writing. Sandstein 07:34, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Ignore Sandstein's confusing words and keep. Ineligble is lack of Schöpfungshöhe nothing else. I do not see enough originality in this flag. --Historiograf 00:21, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. Pd-ineligible (I won't go into details about that the whole purpose of a flag is that it can be used wherever the entity it is meant to symbolize should be symbolized by a flag... Rule of thumb: if you want your copyright honored everytime your graphic design is displayed or used, don't design a flag.) --AndreasPraefcke 10:51, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Kept: {{PD-ineligible}} -- Bryan (talk to me) 20:33, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Copyright violation, same case as in Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Flag of Hezbollah.svg. Freely licencing a photographic reproduction of a copyrighted logo does not remove the copyright protection of that logo. --Sandstein 22:41, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Insufficient source, probable copyvio. This image is from a fridge magnet, not a flag. Hezbollah deserves copyright protection for their logo. This image is also of poor quality (it includes a reflection of the flash or other light source). — Jeff G. 23:55, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep and
tag as pd-ineligible. This issue was already hashed out in the previous deletion. The magnet is but a slavish transform, no new copyright. -Nard 00:48, 11 July 2007 (UTC)- I took the liberty of restoring the vandalized license tag on the image. -Nard 00:56, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete with previous Hezbollah logo images. Sorry, I don't understand how 86 kB SVG file Image:Flag of Hezbollah.svg was declared as trivial work. Where is objective requirements for triviality? --EugeneZelenko 14:53, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep The result of the discussion was to keep, are you going to delete the US flag too, because it has been changed less than 70 years ago... Madmax32 21:04, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete... and I still need someone to explain to me how there is "no original authorship" in this rather elaborate drawing with respect to Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Flag of Hezbollah.svg. Comparisons with national flags are flawed. Countries can legislate against perceived offensive or disrespectful uses of their flags, so that a national flag may be free for copyright and licensing purposes (which we are concerned with), but protected by other means (the responsibility of anyone using works from Commons). Hezbollah, not being a country, has no line of defense in this matter beyond copyright, and I very much doubt Hezbollah would consent to the creation of derivative works which they would perceive as desecrating their symbols. —LX (talk, contribs) 22:04, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not so sure, it's never been established who the authors of this flag are so, and it is apparently a derivative work of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps flag, besides as pointed out in the previous deletion request Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Flag of Hezbollah.svg there are many flags which could also be considered to be not PD ineligible but are kept regardless, such as the flag of the UN or NATO for example, I don't foresee hezbollah having much success in stopping abusive use of their flag considering they are a scheduled terrorist group in the US. Madmax32 09:36, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

- Delete, and delete the SVG also. There is plenty of original authorship in this logo. The integration of the graphical elements into the Arabic text, at the very least, constitutes a work of art eligible for copyright. Sandstein 05:29, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

- Now you're straddling the fence. You can't claim this photo is illegal, and the flag is too, and then say it should be deleted because it's lower quality than the flag. -Nard 14:52, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
- I never did "claim this photo is illegal, and the flag is too", nor did I express an opinion at Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Flag of Hezbollah.svg. There are four items we are dealing with here:
- The actual logo of Hezbollah, in green and red on a bright yellow field, probably copyrighted in Lebanon, 1982-1985.
- The version of the logo above on the flag of Hezbollah (with a wider yellow field), presented at Image:Flag of Hezbollah.svg.
- A fridge magnet containing a dark-green-only on mustard-yellow bastardization of the logo which Bertilvidet found and photographed at an undisclosed location and
date/time. - The resulting photograph Image:Hezbollahlogo.jpg.
- I have multiple reasons for wanting this image Image:Hezbollahlogo.jpg deleted:
- Insufficient source, probable copyvio at the time I made the request (I had not yet read Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Flag of Hezbollah.svg)
- Poor quality and lower resolution of the photograph (it includes a reflection of the flash or other light source, and is incompletely focused) - it is not a slavish transformation of the fridge magnet.
- Poor quality of the fridge magnet image (it includes less detail than Image:Flag of Hezbollah.svg, and is missing the red color) - it is not a slavish transformation of the actual logo.
- We already have Image:Flag of Hezbollah.svg, why do we need any other representation of the actual logo of Hezbollah? "There should be only one copy of an image" per {{Duplicate}}.

Refusing to discuss comments such as "bastardization" I must say that interpreting {{Duplicate}} as a policy prohibiting the same symbol being depicted in various settings is a novelty that radically will change the nature of Commons. We even have a Category:Flags_of_the_United_States, with different flags as well as the Flag of the United States depicted in various settings. I find it useful, and would not suggest to delete all but one photo of the same symbol. For exact date and time of the photo caption please see the relevant page (08:56, 9 August 2006). Bertilvidet 12:39, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Where was the photo taken, in what country and timezone (thus producing the UTC time)? Did you take it? If not, who did? Whose fridge magnet is or was it? Where did they get it? Thanks! — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 19:51, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- I do not see the need for all these details. But if it is relevant I will answer: 1) The photo was taken in my kitchen in Istanbul (Turkey). I took the photo with my own camera. I own the fridge magnet, that I bought as a souvenir in Beirut February 2006. Bertilvidet 08:45, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

After arguments below, I've changed my opinion Julo 21:14, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- Images don't automatically become PD only because they are hosted on a navy website and the US Navy is not the author of this image. As it was copied from an old German photo album called "Meine Kriegserinnerungen auf Schlachtschiff Scharnhorst" (my war memories of battleship Scharnhorst), the author was apparently a crew member of the German ship Scharnhorst, and according to German copyright law the copyright only expires 70 years after death. The image is from 1939, so it's not older than 70 years. And there's no indication on the website why images from that photo album should be PD.
- And the website also says "To the best of our knowledge, all Online Library pictures are in the public domain and[...]", so they are not 100% sure. --88.134.44.28 18:35, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete 70 years have not passed, surely no work of an US official.
- Please note: If you delete this image. Please consider all images in DKM Scharnhorst for deletion. --ALE! ¿…? 08:37, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

- The images might be in the public domain in the US but probably not in most other countries, like for example Germany. --ALE! ¿…? 17:47, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. The copyright for most Scharnhorst photos, that were taken by official german Kriegsmarine photographers, lies most likely in the hands the german Federal Archive (Bundesarchiv) and they dont give their material away as PD, but usually charge a fee for useage. For example see the copyright tag on the Scharnhorst photos they display online: [72] Alexpl
