An offering for our new administrator from your comrades...

Abzeronow, congratulations! You now have administrator rights on Commons. Please take a moment to read the Commons:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Commons:Administrators' noticeboard and its subpages), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care. Have a look at the list of Gadgets (on the bottom there are the ones specifically for admins – however, for example the UserMessages are very helpful too).

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-commons ^webchat on irc.libera.chat. There is also a channel for Commons admins, which may be useful for more sensitive topics, or coordination among administrators: #wikimedia-commons-admin ^webchat.

You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading. You can find the admin backlog overview at COM:AB.

Please Assist me re: Image ToddRathner2023.jpg removed? Please advise.

Hello,

An image I own the copyright to and allowed to be posted in an article about me was deleted, although I provided copyright proof of ownership. Did I provide the poster with insufficient proof? I can provide any proof required to have it reinstated as I do own the copyright. Would you be willing to tell me what to do? I am not an active editor and created this account just to try to resolve this. I would truly be grateful if you'd provide me with some direction. I don't understand the rules and policies. I tried to do what was needed but it was deleted anyway. Please be kind enough to tell me how I may comply. Please help me restore this image.

Thank you for your time.

Respectfully

Mickey Mouse in 2024

The entire Mickey Mouse character does not become free in 2024; just the Steamboat Willie movie and any aspects of the character present in that movie. Additions to the character made in later movies/cartoons remain under copyright for 95 years from their publication -- so for example, a changed general appearance for Mickey would still be under copyright after 2024, and if any subsequent works incorporate that changed appearance, they are still derivative of copyrighted aspects of the character. So it will be a slow, year-by-year injection into the public domain, and not all at once. This is in reaction to the change you made at Commons:Deletion requests/File:"Appreciate America. Come On Gang. All Out for Uncle Sam" (Mickey Mouse)" - NARA - 513869.tif should probably have an Undelete in 2037 date, though perhaps once enough characteristics become PD it could be earlier than that. But, the early Mickey Mouse looked different, and it will only be works solely derivative of that early Mickey version which become PD next year (if they had otherwise expired due to lack of notice or renewal). I seem to see this mistake being made a lot; the Warner Bros vs Avela case made pretty clear that character copyrights can come in many layers, as each movie can add another layer of elements to the character, and each layer expires based on its own publication date. Carl Lindberg (talk) 01:12, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

@Clindberg: Yes, you'd be correct that only the 1928 designs on Mickey enter the public domain and the Appreciate America title is probably based on a later design that would enter the public domain later. I'll fix it tomorrow, I probably need to research Mickey Mouse designs (I am not an expert in that) to determine a more appropriate undeletion date. The actual restoration date is probably between 2024 and 2037, but I'll put 2037 if I can't justify an earlier date based on the design used in it. Thanks for taking the time to message me. EDIT: I've set a new undeletion of 2035 based on this being a DW of the 1939 design. Abzeronow (talk) 02:11, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

Ah, great, thanks. That sounds quite reasonable. Carl Lindberg (talk) 01:40, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

File still under discussion has been deleted from article

Hi Abzeronow, you suggested that I should reply the request for deletion of the image ref. a prisoner in Quiriquina Island Camp after the 1973 military coup d'état in Chile. Which I did. I did my best to present my case, and I am still investigating on the issue "extension of the protection of copyright in Chilean legislation". To the best of my understanding the Discussion of the said request has not been closed. However, the image has been already deleted from the article Marcello Ferrada de Noli. Why? Thanks in advance for a reply Gypsy784 (talk) 06:08, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

I did not delete it. The photograph would still be in copyright since 1973 plus 30 was 2004, after the copyright term extensions. Abzeronow (talk) 18:04, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you so much. Problem being that:

a) the image was removed 17:03, 10 September 2023‎ from the WP article Marcello Ferrada de Noli, for the reason "Copyright violation: Scan of a newspaper published in Chile in 1973. The copyright protection for anonymous works is 70 years in Chile." ("deleted by Túrelio).

b) I did reverse it, explaining that the request for delete was currently still under discussion.

c) However the above, my edit was anew removed, nearly immediately, giving the reason, "it isn't" (by user Sumanuil).

For clarity, this is the link to the Revision history of the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcello_Ferrada_de_Noli&action=history . Here I have referred to the three most recent edits.

What shall I do, you think? Could you perhaps help me to restore the image in the said article in a safe procedure, to prevent it is put away anew? And also, would it be possible to ask an administrator to decide whether to approve or not the request for deletion?

Sorry for taking your time on this. I know that the fact I am new in Wikimedia Commons it is not an excuse for the problems I have caused. Next time I would upload an image I hope it will go better. Thanks again, Gypsy784 (talk) 03:50, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Ernie O'Malley Image deletion

Dear friend,

You contributed to a discussion that led to the retention of this image which is in the recently upgraded (to GA standard) article:: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Ernie_O%27Malley_Prison_2.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernie_O%27Malley

Recently, a bot deleted the following image from the same article: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ernie_O%27Malley_Four_Courts.jpg

I have located another version of this (Four Courts) image here: https://www.theirishstory.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/EOM-at-4-Courts.jpg

and the owner of that page has emailed me to say that I'm welcome to use it but that he does not own the copyright or know who does.

What is the best way for me to proceed, may I ask? Images are an opaque issue to me on Wiki Commons and Wikipedia.

Thanks very much for any advice you can offer Billsmith60 (talk) 14:36, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

@Billsmith60: A person deleted the Four Courts image, not a bot. The new image looks like it was published before 1928, if you just want to use it for Wikipedia, then I suggest a local upload to English Wikipedia using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload as that photograph would definitely be public domain in the United States. Commons would require it being public domain in Ireland too which I cannot tell just from the photograph. Abzeronow (talk) 16:19, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Many thanks! Billsmith60 (talk) 17:17, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Delete Guitar-scale-minor-chord-5-3-1-x-x-x 13.svg

Hello! I had a mistake in the deletion request. File:Guitar-scale-minor-chord-5-3-1-x-x-x 13.svg is a duplicate of File:Guitar-3-string-minor-chord-x-5-b3-1-x-x.svg and should be deleted. Sorry about the confusion. — Hunsvotti (talk) 14:48, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

@Hunsvotti: The second one is a later file, is that one correctly named? Abzeronow (talk) 16:52, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Yes, the second one is correctly named. I accidentally duplicated the titles when I uploaded the files. They should be named by the interval numbers or x's from top string to bottom. — Hunsvotti (talk) 10:06, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

License review tagging

Hello, could you add review tags to those recovered photos just in case someone is ignorant of our discussion and license history feature.Thanks in advance. COM:Undeletion_requests/Archive#File:Can_1972_(Heinrich_Klaffs_Collection_102).jpg Larryasou (talk) 07:16, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

I already added the Flickr-change-of-license one, and the license review ones as far as I know, cannot be configured to say that on upload date, that license was valid. I'll add them to my watchlist in case someone doesn't know how Flickr license history works. Abzeronow (talk) 15:29, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

OK, I got it. Thank you! Larryasou (talk) 15:53, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Category:Photographs by Heinrich Klaffs

Hi Abzeronow, you commented after the closure of this DR that the files were restored and noted that “Flickr license history shows that these had a valid license at upload”. This feature, however, that allows to examine the Flickr license history was just added recently and wasn't available in 2016 when the DR was processed. You are right that valid license reviews shall not be ignored where present without good reason. But right now your comment sounds as if you complain that the admin who deleted these files also overlooked the Flickr license history. But this is not the case. Perhaps it is best to reword your comment to avoid this misunderstanding. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 11:54, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

I'll amend the comment to reflect that license history was not available in 2016. 2 of the files that I had restored did have license reviews from 2010, but since they were deleted with VFC, I suspect the admin didn't see that they had those license reviews. Abzeronow (talk) 15:38, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! --AFBorchert (talk) 17:17, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Introducing FOP in South Africa

A wikimedia group Freedom of Panorama ZA, was established in 2017, to fight for having freedom of panorama in South Africa. If you're interested, you may have a look on it.

Commons:Deletion requests/Pocket Atlas of the USSR, 11th ed., 1940

Hello Abzeronow, you closed this DR with an unfounded assumption, that there aren't any credited individual authors. Please see page 3 here and find there appropriate credits: Executive editor V. N. Pavlovsky, Senior cartographer N. N. Ksyunina, Technical editor Matisova T.V., Artist Ilyina N.V. There is no any evidence, that these people died more than 70+4 years ago, so these maps are no way in PD. Komarof (talk) 18:32, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

I had said "It appears that there aren't any credited individual authors as far as I can tell". I tried searching for the Atlas itself in web search which did not credit anyone, and I cannot read Russian. Thank you for this information (which I did not have when I closed it). Abzeronow (talk) 18:38, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Commons:Undeletion requests/Current requests/File:Emblem of West Bengal.svg

Hello @Abzeronow You closed this UDR by believing unscrupulous claims by Günther Frager that this file was not in public domain and it was published after 1963. I had given every possible claim for these files that they follow all copyright laws of India and Wikimedia Commons, and gave plenty of arguments to support them. Please see [1], and find the appropriate copyright rules stated by Government of West Bengal — the intellectual property rights owner of these files. You didn't even contact the original author @Mouryan (who self-drew these vectorised images from the official government sample), who could give a proper explanation for the given case.

Do you mean that now, all the West Bengal related articles will stay emblem-less? It is true that the West Bengal emblem was launched in 2018, but all other states of India, whose emblems are uploaded in similar style and license info are still present in WikiCommons in the pretext of being PD, even though all of these logos were made after 1963, in the 2000s and 2010s. Those files aren't deleted. Why?

Why didn't you compare these three files with each other, as I said?
1. File:Emblem of West Bengal.svg with File:Seal of Maharashtra.svg
2. File:Emblem of West Bengal.png with File:Seal of Maharashtra.png
3. File:Flag of West Bengal.svg with File:Flag of Maharashtra.svg.

I had even mentioned that the person Sbb1413 who nominated the files to get deleted as per deletion request, himself says that he should have not done so, and instead amend the licensing info — offsite discussion:  [2]. These files deserve to be undeleted and restored. It is completely unfair. Please look into the matter.

Rourib.2004 (talk) 21:24, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

@Abzeronow: I support the undeletion of the logos. I shouldn't have nominated them for deletion *weeping, slapping my head*. I have read the copyright policy of West Bengal Government and I would restore the logos if I were an admin. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 04:44, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

@Abzeronow Please look into the matter now. The deletion nominator himself says that he shouldn't have done so. Rourib.2004 (talk) 16:02, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

The emblem itself is not public domain, and I've read the West Bengal Government copyright terms, I think when those were brought up sometime earlier this year or late last year (EDIT: found that discussion https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump/Copyright/Archive/2023/02#Creating_a_new_copyright_tag), the terms were found to have a no derivatives portion to it, which goes against Commons licensing. @Jameslwoodward: for a second opinion on the West Bengal copyright terms. As for Maharashtra, if there is evidence that the seal is not public domain, please present it. I can start a DR for those files. Abzeronow (talk) 16:13, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

@Abzeronow Yeah, please. Do the same for the Maharashtra one, they are no saint and the emblems of all states of India have been made in the recent times, not before 1960. Why only West Bengal should suffer?

On a second note, @Abzeronow, can you please give a solution for this matter? If those West Bengal files can't be restored, can they be re-uploaded with correct licensing info, or the previous ones's licensing info being amended to meet copyright regulations? The state article and the related articles certainly cant exist symbol-less, which hinders it's sanctity and officiation. Rourib.2004 (talk) 16:40, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

@Jameslwoodward Awaiting your response, on the Maharashtra files. Rourib.2004 (talk) 17:06, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

The copyright terms on the cited page includes "This is subject to the material being reproduced accurately and not being used in a derogatory manner or in a misleading context." That is a limitation on the use of the files which we do not accept. Material on Commons must be free for ANY use anywhere by anybody. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 19:59, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

@Jameslwoodward: The statement sounds like the one in {{GODL-India}}, which has been heavily discussed over the years. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 03:14, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

@Abzeronow @Jameslwoodward Can the files get restored under the {{GODL-India}} tag? It seems possible as per the cited link by Government of West Bengal.

CC: @Sbb1413 Rourib.2004 (talk) 23:57, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

{{GODL-India}} does not contain the "no derogatory..." language I cited above, so it is not relevant to this discussion. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:52, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

Your closing argument at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Flag of bechuanaland protectorate.png

Hello Abzeronow,

You have closed this deletion request as kept, with the argument that the image (which I believe to be a hoax, and I think so does the nominator) is in use on the Chinese Wikipedia. I don't understand how that is a valid reason to keep a hoax image. Could you explain the argument please? Renerpho (talk) 09:26, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

I am tagging Fry1989, as the user who nominated the file for deletion, to ask them if they may know why this image should be kept. Renerpho (talk) 09:29, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

@Renerpho: , Commons policy is that files in use in Wikipedia mainspace are automatically considered in scope COM:INUSE. I would suggest opening up a discussion in the talk page of zh:英國保護國 and explain why the image is a hoax. I could ping some users that can write in Chinese if you want. Abzeronow (talk) 15:49, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

@Abzeronow: For the moment, I have marked the file as a possible hoax on the file page (in analogy to the previously kept likely hoax File:Solser-en-Hesse-op-Anker-record -Bij-den-fotograaf.- 1909.ogg). I would like to hear the original nominator's comment before I start discussing this on another project. Should the image be added to Category:Hoaxes, like (for example) File:HazelCarter.jpg? Renerpho (talk) 19:00, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Duly noted. You could also categorize it as a fictitious flag if you believe it was never used. Abzeronow (talk) 20:22, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, that sounds like a reasonable suggestion. Which category would you suggest? I only find Category:Fictional flags of China and Category:Fictional flags of Vietnam, but nothing for other parts of the world. As for the validity of the flag: Nobody really knows if the Bechuanaland Protectorate ever used its own flag (probably not), or what that flag would have been. You'll find several designs online; some fantasy, some of unknown origin. For an example, see this one on r/vexillology. Most of them ultimately lead to unreliable sources. Renerpho (talk) 20:44, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

If I should guess where the Wikimedia file came from, I think someone looked at flags of other similar entities, saw that most consisted of the standard Union Jack in the upper left corner with a COA to the right, and made such a flag, with no regard whether the result was historical or not. Renerpho (talk) 20:47, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

@Abzeronow: I see that the image has been deleted a few days ago, with reference (but no direct link) to this discussion on your talk page. Is there a way to include a permalink to this discussion to this page? Renerpho (talk) 01:59, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

I think the DR speaks for itself, it was kept while it was in use at Chinese Wikipedia and deleted as out of scope when it was no longer used (which was the correct decision). Abzeronow (talk) 16:21, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Please do delete (speed is needed) this file because I made a mistake uploading it : the PD-Italy Commons rules needs that a photograph has not to be an artistic creation wich is clearly the case here. So please remove this item.

File:Cameron Rowland in front of audience at Columbia GSAPP (cropped).jpg

User who nominated the file for deletion (Nominator) : GSAPPstudent.

Hi there -- just confirming that all photographs of Cameron Rowland taken at Columbia GSAPP on 12 Feb 2020 were explicitly not consented to. I am currently a member of the faculty at GSAPP and can attest to this, as can multiple other faculty members. I don't understand the editing process of Wikipedia well enough to flag them each for deletion, but it appears this has been requested on multiple occasions. I would greatly appreciate your help removing these images, as they are photographs made without the subject's consent at an event where photographs were explicitly prohibited. Many thanks for your time, and please let me know if there is anything else I can do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GSAPP Adjunct (talk • contribs) 19:10, 28 November 2023‎ (UTC)

@GSAPP Adjunct: , if photography at the event was explicitly prohibited, you should contact Commons:Contact us/Problems and start a ticket. Keep in mind though, that per COM:CSCR, consent to take or to publish a photograph of a person in a public place is not required in the US. Abzeronow (talk) 19:21, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Image hiding request

Hello, can you please hide the image content (or whatever it's called, I'm not quite sure) of some revisions of File:VS Code (Insiders).png, namely those before (and including) the revision 10:32, 8 December 2020?

Salakot Arch

Hello. I noticed that you deleted images showing the Salakot Arch. Well, I must say that while a copyright law for buildings was passed in the Philippines in 1972, the law certainly does not apply to all buildings built in that year onward. Also, the other reasons given by the nominator in the request are not concrete proof of copyright. 2600:387:8:7:0:0:0:81 15:50, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Copyright is generally automatic for countries that are part of the Berne Convention and that includes the copyrights of architects. The burden of proof is also on those who wish to keep the file, and that was not met. Abzeronow (talk) 15:52, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Question

Hi. I was wondering if you'd be willing to procedurally close Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:2008 in Thailand so I can nominate the images for deletion in smaller batches per the discussion. Otherwise I guess it just be closed at some point in the future per the normal process, but @Cavarrone: seemed to be particularly triggered by the whole thing and I don't really want to hurt their clearly sensitive feelings by keeping it open after they made it clear they thought the whole thing was disruptive just because I didn't just do 50 separate, individual DRs. Thanks. Adamant1 (talk) 19:57, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Trouble afoot

About Commons:Deletion requests/File:Nickelodeon Foot Logo (1984).svg... I think 1984 is just the date in which Nickelodeon started using the Balloon-font logo style - that is, this is a variant of the 1984 logo, which may have been created any number of years later. That said, I have no idea when this variant came into being. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 23:29, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

I'll look into it further. If I find it's after 1989, I'll delete it. Abzeronow (talk) 15:50, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

@Brainulator9: , it looks like this was circa 1992. The 1980s logos did not have a registered trademark mark on them from what I can see, and the logo is similar to a logo that dates from 1992. Deleted it as 1992 is post-1989. Abzeronow (talk) 16:13, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for that. May I see where you got this from, and what is the similar logo you're thinking of? -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 02:09, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

In this page https://logos.fandom.com/wiki/Nickelodeon/Logo_Variations#Other, there is a feet version https://logos.fandom.com/wiki/Nickelodeon/Logo_Variations?file=Nickelodeon_1984_Feet_5.svg#Other that says used in Gymnast ID from 1992-1996.

File:Workshop 2013.jpg

Please educate me. Rather than my starting a DR. I'd like to learn why this file, with a photo of a prominent work which is copyright is not a copyvio, please. Once I know then I will be better able to see what is and is not a copyvio. 🇺🇦 Timtrent 🇺🇦 talk to me 🇺🇦 20:27, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

@Timtrent: , I guess I probably should have added a note that the file has VRT permission. A VRT member had a undeletion request for the file, saying the heir granted permission. Abzeronow (talk) 20:29, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you. Let us assume VRT were not involved. In that instance would I be correct that this would be considered a copyvio? 🇺🇦 Timtrent 🇺🇦 talk to me 🇺🇦 20:32, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

OK, if this didn't have VRT permission, I'd have considered the photograph to be an own work, and I'd have filed a deletion request for the painting as the photo is a derivative work. Abzeronow (talk) 20:36, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

About Commons:Deletion requests/File:Aerial view of homes destroyed in Rolling Fork, Mississippi.jpg

Why was it deleted??? There was 2 keep to 1 delete (the nominator) and the image was under a Template:PD-NWS license, where NOAA says all images not marked by a copyright symbol are public domain. I believe the deletion was a mistake, especially since there was a majority keep in the discussion. WeatherWriter (talk) 04:09, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

I agreed with the nominator that the license is overly broad, and it was not proven that GettyImages and the photographer donated the photograph to the public domain. It was not made explicit that Getty Images did so, and so following COM:PCP, I deleted. Abzeronow (talk) 16:26, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Just to note for the complete future, I strongly protest the deletion. You basically overruled a consensus from July 2023 with this deletion and you went against the copyright license which was provided, proving it was PD. WeatherWriter (talk) 18:08, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

If you feel my decision was erroneous, feel free to make a request at COM:UNDEL. Abzeronow (talk) 18:09, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

About c:Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Pont de l'Iroise

Hi, I don't think enforcing copyright about public architecture is applicable, and I would like to know what precedent you were talking about. Aurci (talk) 00:32, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Please see Commons:Deletion requests/File:PM 037802 F Millau.jpg and Commons:Deletion requests/File:Millau Viaduct, France (39307678014).jpg, bridges are protected by copyright in France. Abzeronow (talk) 15:51, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Where do you see that bridges are protected by copyright in France? 81.53.60.37 18:37, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Quoting Rosenzweig "The distinction between buildings (which are protected by copyright) and structures (which are not) is an American thing. Article L112-2 of the French IP code simply lists oeuvres [...] d'architecture (works of architecture) among the types of works which can be protected." Bridges are works of architecture. See also the discussion at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump/Copyright/Archive/2023/04#Let's_talk_about_bridges_in_France and Yann saying "There is no difference, copyright wise, between different kinds of structures built by architects." Also Christian Ferrer said " I never saw an exemple of a French case law that allow us to think that bridges are not protected under Copright law" I'll also note that Structurae lists Placidi as a designer, and lists two others as architects on the bridge. https://structurae.net/en/structures/iroise-bridge Abzeronow (talk) 19:11, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

File:William Cheung 1990.jpg

Hi Abzeronow. Would you mind taking a look at File:William Cheung 1990.jpg? Can you tell whether it is a crop of File:Anthony Arnett and Eric Oram.jpg, which you deleted in August per Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Australianblackbelt? -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:32, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: it is indeed a crop of the deleted file. Abzeronow (talk) 05:35, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for checking. Is it OK to keep on Commons or should it be tagged/nominated for deletion? -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:04, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

@Matthewehoffman: As mentioned in https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Undeletion_requests/Archive#File%3ADaniel_Donato.jpg, you need to have the photographer fill out the form at COM:VRT.

Category:Chester concession

Though you might want to take a look at what I did with Category:Chester concession (for future reference). In particular, when a Commons category is linked from a Wikidata item it is generally a good idea to use {{Wikidata Infobox}} instead of just linking overtly back to the Wikidata item. Much more informative to end users. - Jmabel ! talk 06:02, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Some issues

Hello, Abzeronow. How is it going? Recently I uploaded some pics that I found on Flickr (all from this album). However, I got this: "failed cc-by-nc-2.0"; although, the autor, Alessandra Brenguer, uploaded those pics under the "CC BY-NC 2.0 DEED". What can I do? I'm not stealing those photos, haha.--Agent010 (talk) 14:32, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

@Agent010: , the issue is that we don't accept files with a noncommercial license. (COM:L has the details} so we cannot host those photographs here. Abzeronow (talk) 16:04, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

But the license says: "You are free to: Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format. Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material". Like, I have no intention of make money from those pics, just use them to improve an article that I'm working on.--Agent010 (talk) 01:21, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Regardless, the policy of Wikimedia Commons is to not accept any noncommercial restrictions. If you are just trying to use it for an English Wikipedia article, you can locally upload there under non-free use as long as it's within the guidelines there. Abzeronow (talk) 16:36, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

1960 relevance?

Since the photograph is 63 years old, there is a possibility of it becoming public domain sometime in the next forty years, and I'd like to be able to classify it for undeletion rather than it just being speedied and then promptly forgotten. Obviously being provided with a studio name and photographer would be very helpful as I could search for a death date so we'd know it's exact copyright status.

My previous RfA

Hi @Abzeronow, I pray you are doing well. I ran for adminship on Wikimedia Commons during February 2023 which closed as a fail. I enjoyed this as a success since it opened a vast understanding of my own mistakes that I had made in the past. Although my activities after the RfA increased and I participated in Undeletion requests and other admin-related areas however I personally see this as a margin since I wasn't able to keep a too-much-active pace due to my real-life activities. I have recently begun cleaning up unused and un-licensed files from ur-wiki as I got some time to be free from my academic loads. I was thinking to go for another RfA in a month or two, but I feel I should seek thoughts from others before I go ahead. I trust you as one of the friendly admins on this project, and would love to hear from you. Thanks and regards, ─ The Aafī (^talk) 18:16, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Impuls Arena

Hi Abzeronow, please undelete these photos. Indeed the stadium is not copyrightable by German standards and therefore in the public domain. Chianti even has posted a court decision by the OLG Karlsruhe which supports this argumentation. -- Chaddy (talk) 18:25, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

@Gnom: , @Krd: , @Rosenzweig: , @GPSLeo: , I'll defer to those who know more about German copyright law than me, but works of architecture are copyrightable in Germany to my knowledge and I don't see how this stadium falls below being able to be copyrighted. Abzeronow (talk) 18:29, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

I am also one of the experts of German copyright law. Yes, works of architecture are copyrightable in Germany. But only when they are above the threshold of originality. I again refer to Chianti‘s comment in the discussion: [3]. -- Chaddy (talk) 18:35, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

 Oppose Opinions are obviously rather divided here. In that case I would have decided to delete per the precautionary principle. Abzeronow's decision was well within his discretion as an admin, and I don't see any reason to declare this decision to be wrong. --Rosenzweig τ 18:42, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

We can do this (precautionary principle) in really unclear cases. But this is a clear case. No one could proof that the design of this stadium stands out from the mass of everyday building work which would be needed for a copyright protection. It is a very simple and pure design that only follows the need of the buildings statics. That is simple handcraft and not a work of fine arts. -- Chaddy (talk) 19:07, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

I disagree. COM:PRP doesn't say anything about "really unclear cases", it says that where there is significant doubt about the freedom of a particular file, it should be deleted. There are several users here, in the deletion request discussion and at the parallel de.wp discussion which have expressed their doubts, which are significant enough in my opinion. --Rosenzweig τ 20:49, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

I would also say that the building is below TOO. If we say this is above TOO we would have to delete nearly every interior photo of modern buildings in Germany. GPSLeo (talk) 15:50, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Abzeronow, I noticed a similar case. The file was uploaded after flickr user switched from cc-by-sa to cc-by-nc-sa license. That is, the copy on Commons is licensed under cc-by-nc-sa, not cc-by-sa. But in the DR, some users argued that the previous license is still valid for subsequent copies. May I ask which view is right? Thank you. 0x0a (talk) 16:21, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

I'm of the view that the nominator was correct, but I'm not going to try to overturn a decision made by the community twice to keep it especially since my view may be contentious. Abzeronow (talk) 17:55, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Obviously, there is a considerable controversy over how to interpret the "irrevocable" of a CC license. A discussion may need to be initiated on the VPC.

I'm aslo inclined to agree with the nominator, but I need to collect some information to support this view. Anyway, thanks for your opinion. 0x0a (talk) 18:36, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

@Abzeronow:Buenas, una pregunta el Logo de la Alcaldía de Valera creado en 2014 hasta el 2017 y el autor del logo ex alcalde de Valera falleció el 29 de diciembre de 2019 (https://www.redpres.com/t35652-fallecio-el-exalcalde-de-valera-jose-karkom) según el {{PD-VenezuelaGov}} son 60 años después de la publicación y en que año subirá el Logo a Wikimedia?? AbchyZa22 (talk) 12:45, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

(google translate) En Wikimedia sería 2090 aunque probablemente 2075 se convierta en PD en Venezuela. Abzeronow (talk) 18:03, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

Because you're a nice administrator :)

Why did you undelete file:Mycock5.jpg?

You allege that there is another file that uses it. Where is this other file? Dronebogus (talk) 14:51, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Yes, it is one of the photographs used in File:Various size penises.jpg. There was an undeletion request for the file after a question appeared at the Help Desk. Abzeronow (talk) 17:13, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Splitting

I find COM:SPLIT rather confusing for myself (perhaps because its suggestive of moving old revisions to a new title). Would you want to take a look at File:Photo portrait d'Andréa Furet.jpg: seems an interesting deal of learning for me. ─ The Aafī (^talk) 19:11, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Request

Since I have an apparent conflict of interest with anything related to DCW, I thought seeking assistance from any admin should help. Could you please merge File:Wiki Loves Muslim Academia logo.svg and File:Wiki loves muslim academia copy.svg. The former should appear as the current version. The user who uploaded File:Wiki loves muslim academia copy.svg did it in a hurry despite me telling them do db-author it because it wasn't anyway approved to be used in any case for WLMA, a program by DCW, which I lead. TheAafi (DCW) (talk) 10:07, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

@TheAafi (DCW): The files are merged but I probably created an extra revision by accident since this was the first time I have merged a file. Abzeronow (talk) 17:53, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the quick help. Best of luck with future tries. TheAafi (DCW) (talk) 18:28, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

You might want to delete the redirect as it won't be anywhere used, and isn't even old enough. TheAafi (DCW) (talk) 18:31, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

Overwriting existing file

Hi @Abzeronow, thanks for your hard work. :) Did you perhaps miss the entry for File:Logo SG Dynamo Dresden neu.svg? Bildersindtoll (talk) 19:03, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

good catch

I dont think either are actually licensed for usage in commons, it is a regular mistake. I am reluctant to engage on the issue, as my Indonesian language usage is very very rusty. If I had either the time, or the energy, I think I could halve the amount of similar items on commons, simply by pointing out the lack of suitable licensing. Sorry, I am not very helpful. JarrahTree (talk) 04:42, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me. I will nominate them for deletion. Abzeronow (talk) 17:05, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Deletion here was more the question of whether the photograph was "published prior to 1978", than when it was taken. Neither the uploader, the blog it was copied from nor the user who voted to keep it had anything to say about that. Belbury (talk) 18:25, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

@Yann: Per orphan works policy, we generally assume publication near creation unless there is evidence to the contrary. The photograph from the age of the sitter and the style of clothing appears to be from the 1950s. In order for it not be published before 1978, the unknown photographer would have had to have taken the photograph and then stuck it in a drawer for more than 20 years. Italian simple photographs are creation plus 20 years so the publication before 1978 is a consideration of URAA, and as stated, we don't have evidence that URAA applies here.

Apologies, I'd missed that there'd already been a fuller discussion of this at Commons:Undeletion_requests#File:Giordano_Bruno_Lattuada.jpg! Belbury (talk) 19:06, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

No problem, I'll link that to the DR (I would have done so when it was archived, but I'll do it now). Abzeronow (talk) 19:19, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Tm

Just comment one thing. User Tm is using the issue in the Noticeboard to blatantly forge and reopen old wikidata conflicts that were not directly related to this topic, and in which I have no responsibility. Apart from the fact that he is making false statements against me and against the other user (Lopezsuarez). I have told Tm privately, so that he has the decency to not manipulate my words and make this even worse. But it is really shameful that from the first moment he had a disruptive [and tolerated] attitude, and that on top of that I was the bad guy in your eyes (although you later corrected it).

In essence, I gave in to find a solution to the conflict. And he (Tm) reluctantly accepted your disposition, only to go to wikidata to extend the conflict. And for dessert, the user Tm poisoning the environment even more. But after all, I cannot understand why this user is tolerated with everything. CFA1877 (talk) 00:02, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Abzeronow, sorry to burst into your talkpage, i will not comment the accusations against me made by this users, but i am only going to tell you that i have made a conteur argument of the Noticeboard with links to to back up and as evidence of what i say related with this subject (and these user accusations). Sorry and regards. Tm (talk) 00:39, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi. File:Bhadreshkumar Chetanbhai Patel.jpg appears to have been reuploaded. I tagged it as G4.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 23:16, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, Jeff. Deleted again. I'll raise the issue at COM:VPC because I hadn't heard of US ToO covering "booth pictures". Abzeronow (talk) 23:22, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
