{{Helpme}}: Resolved. See last entry below.

Why do the above attempts to use the labeled section method fail? I think they should work, per W:Wikipedia:Transclusion#Using_the_labeled_section_method.Elvey (talk) 19:39, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Aha, {{#lsth exists now ! And the section was archived so: {{#lst:Commons:Village_pump/Copyright/Archive/2016/03#Blatantly_stolen_photo}} ? Elvey (talk) 17:55, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Well, something happens; that includes the whole freaking (now enormous) page. It doesn't understand headers; it requires special markup tags be added to the source. The documentation has changed a bunch since March.

Well, something happens; that includes wrong thing from the page. (Section 0? Yup.)

Nope.

I am not sure if here is proper placement for this, but File:Lcms lutheran pastor being ordained.jpg image is erroneously published under a public domain copyright license on this site. This is far from accurate; a personal image, permissions were never granted for it to be copied from a private gallery for publishing (All Rights are reserved). Now the image is published on other sites under the false license proclaimed here. I would like to see this issue resolved, image removed. Thank you 216.186.177.94 16:17, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

216.186.177.94How is it blatant? Do you have any evidence you can share with us? Where is this private gallery you speak of? I urge you to create an account and/or log in and provide it if you do. The uploader, User:Shark96z claims to have taken it and has retired. Nothing obvious from a Google Image Search.--Elvey (talk) 16:41, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Account created. The photo comes from a private and secure gallery of images featuring this pastoral ordination, previously located on my personal Facebook account. Currently I do not have access to the original files on my old computer (the image is from 2008), and the photo album on the site has since been removed. I am aware of the security of my photos on social media; whomever took my image had access to this private album, by default had to be someone I interact with on the site. My apologies as I have no further proof of this instance, yet I am aware and can recognize my photos when I stumble on them taken and published elsewhere.

User:Shark96z has blatantly stolen a great many images. I nominated a number which had been transferred from en-wiki, which had obvious pre-existing versions on the internet (and a great many different authors, all claimed as "own work"). I don't think I was able to find a smoking gun version of that particular image, but I think I got distracted when looking for them. It's been so many years since they have been uploaded it can be hard to find original Internet sources, but I'm guessing most of that user's uploads are copyvios. A couple looked legit, and he got sort-of permission after the fact once at en:User_talk:Shark96z/Archive_1#Your_use_of_my_photos, but most I think are bad. I would delete based on the above claim in this case. See Commons:Village pump/Copyright/Archive/2015/12#My image being used on here, Commons:Deletion requests/File:Georgia (US state) welcome sign.jpg, Commons:Deletion requests/File:I-185 exit 1b.jpg, Commons:Deletion requests/File:Modern lcms confessional.jpg. I think all of that user's uploads need to be scrutinized, given that there are many demonstrated bad-faith uploads, with claimed "own work" of photos by several different authors.

I opened a deletion request. All discussion about this particular image should take part there. --Sebari (talk) 18:35, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Eipotclbmurg:Well done! It says "You can nominate individual media files directly by going to the media description page and clicking on "Nominate for deletion" in the toolbox on the left." at Commons:Deletion_requests#Starting_requests. But it's just been done. Maybe someone will do more of the scrutinizing Carl has done and proposes.--Elvey (talk) 18:40, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
