Image date of 2003-04-04 doesn't meet the licence requirement of being published before 1999–01-01. Mzajac (talk) 03:09, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Info Please check this, this & this. Regards. --Dodo (talk) 13:45, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Info Hello, Firstly I don't see how me having a go at Dodo has any bearing on the merit of this photo. Its irrelevant. Also I find it childish to be included here.
Secondly, I own this item. Doesn't that count for anything. The manufacturers have given me permission to use any Grogg photos in an e-mail message. But I am not going to bother them further.
Keep it or delete it its up to you lot but I really am starting to lose faith in all things Wiki when people just go ahead and delete things willy nilly when there are more positive ways to sort things out.
Also this is a manufactured item, manufactured in the hundreds. Its not a one off work of art so I don't see that I need permission anyway! Harris578 (talk) 18:09, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that we have enough images of penis. Sdrtirs (talk) 22:16, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Deleted. Very blurred and not useful image. Deleted per COM:PS: "New and existing files of poor or mediocre quality may or may not be realistically useful for an educational purpose depending on what they illustrate and what other holdings we have of the same subject. Where a subject is rare and/or difficult to capture, even a poor quality file may be of significant educational value, especially if Commons has very few or no similar files already. On the other hand, poor or mediocre files of common and easy to capture subjects may have no realistic educational value, especially if Commons already hosts many similar or better quality examples."MichaelMaggs (talk) 06:42, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RAND employees are not employees of the federal government, but rather independent contractors. Their work is copyrighted and non-free by default. --Superm401 - Talk 00:58, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It appeared to me when I touched up the original image (en:Image:Bravo RAND Corp.JPG) that although the work was done by an independent contractor, it is owned by the US Federal government, which would put it in the public domain. I don't really care if you delete it or not, but I thought I should explain why I put it here. Thingg 14:15, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I understand why you thought that. However, the work of independent contractors is copyrighted by default. Superm401 - Talk 06:45, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The work of independent contractors may be copyrighted by default, or it may not be, depending on the wording of the contract. If the work was contracted as a work-for-hire, than copyright rests with the contracting authority, not with the independent contractor who created it. If the contracting authority is the Federal government, then it's in the public domain. If this work is in fact owned by the Federal government, then it's not copyrighted, even if created by an independent contractor. If the independent contractor owns the work, then it's copyrighted by default. 130.76.96.19 18:26, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The author/owner changed his mind on releasing the image. He has requested deletion. Wordbuilder (talk) 22:46, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain why, please? What is your connection with the photographer? --MichaelMaggs (talk) 03:44, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
When I moved the image here from the English Wikipedia, I noticed that it was lacking a release registered with OTRS. I emailed the own via a contact form at his website to request that he complete the proper form. He responded asking that the image be deleted. So, since he never formally released it, it should be removed. →Wordbuilder (talk) 21:32, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All the images in this category are listed as being PD-ineligible, but they appear to be taken from CS3621 Introduction to Computing with Geometry Notes by Dr. C.-K. Shene. I beleive that the reason given because it consists entirely of information that is common property and contains no original authorship. is not valid. While the underlying mathematical equations are PD, there is original authorship in creating the images (colours, position, lighting etc). The date of files on Shene's page predates thouse on wikipedia. Full file hsitory on en was:

Images of Jakubes

[edit]

I believe that these User:Jakubes's (sk:User:Jakubes) images of village Starý Tekov in Slovakia are copyvios from municipal website of Straý Tekov. Equally small size of the images, lack of exifs, various author nicknames on the website (cf. the night photo of the church) while User:Jakubes claims ALL the pictures to be his own work - this all seem to support the suspection of copyright violation. I have also strong doubts about rest of images uploaded by him (not mentioned in the list above) but can't provide any evidence (ie. source) for them. --Miaow Miaow (talk) 15:00, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Deleted. Checked it out. You are right. They always had exactly the same size as in the source you have given, even though some of them were not the usual size, but obviously cropped by their author, which according to the website is not always the same.

Images of Santerisulo

[edit]

The author originally released the image to the PD (http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:Forest.jpg&oldid=14183563), but is now attempting to claim copyright and assert a non-free (non-commerical) license. Also, it appears he is not the author, as he claimed. The image is not particularly unique, so I propose deletion. --Superm401 - Talk 01:05, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This problem applies to the rest of his uploads as well, so I am proposing deletion of all. There is already one active request, Commons:Deletion requests/Image:07 boowaearly02.jpg. Superm401 - Talk 01:31, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This one doesn't have the switch from PD to CC-BY, and doesn't explicitly say non-commercial. However, I think it's clear the uploader doesn't understand what CC-BY(-SA) 3.0 means.

Hi friend,

Dhamma talks

Please check the page and the license in the top of the page:

I have no idea why you want this images and dhamma talks to be deleted. You would be hindering a good work to educate people on the Thai Forest Tradition and Theravada Buddhism. The pages in Wikipedia on this subject where/are in a very bad shape and I am only trying to do my best to upgrade the standard. If this pages on the Wikipedia can't be upgraded, then they should be removed and deleted, because they are giving a very poor image of the tradition. This is not a joking matter! Please understand that this images and dhamma talks are for FREE DISTRIBUTION. I can safely say, that I have the full permission to use all of this images and dhamma talks. I used to be a monk in this tradition, so I know the Copyrights of this material very well.

Hello,

Nothing I can do here, I guess... I have a question. When I upload the images again, how do I indicate properly, that I have the permissions to use them here?

Please do not reupload them until the person that actually took the photograph emails Commons:OTRS to confirm permission under a free license such as GFDL or CC-BY-SA. Note, this requires they allow commercial reuse, which may be for a profit. Superm401 - Talk 17:11, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I have requested some help from authorities. What do you mean allowing commercial use? There are many images (i.e The Dalai Lama images, the existing Luang Por Chah images...) that are released under non-commercial licenses? Why can't the images be released as free and non-commercial? I think this is just a matter of finding the correct license... so please bear with me.

Santeri

Hello again,

I am in conversation with the webmasters of Luangta.com. And I am doing some study on the various licenses on similar items in Wikimedia Commons. One possible license that I came across is something like the one on this Dalai Lama image:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Dalai_Lama_boy.jpg

The difference is that Laungta images are free. But something similar to this license could be considered. Other possible options include the GFDL or CC-BY-SA licenses, but I need to do little bit more research on them first, and discuss them with the webmasters... Meaby we can even release the images and talks without any conditions. Wait and see.

I am think of adding a personality rights warning in to some of the images.

Santeri

There is no such thing as free and non-commercial. Commons policy requires that all images allow commercial uses. The image you linked is on Wikipedia, which has very different policies from Commons. Superm401 - Talk 03:40, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. No action since September, and still no confirmation that the copyright owners of these images have released them under a licence which is free enough for Commons (which includes allowing commercial use). MichaelMaggs (talk) 06:14, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
