Image Uploading

Hello Lord Belbury, I understand there are copyrights on images but I'm only using them on my sandbox and I'm the only to see it. So can I still use them ?

--Ragnarok861 (talk) 10:06, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

@Ragnarok861: I'm afraid not, no, because by uploading them to Commons you're making them public. Anyone searching Commons (or, in the future, Google Images) for "benedict cumberbatch portrait" will be served this photo and falsely informed that it was taken by Ragnarok861 who is happy for it to be used commercially at no cost: they might add it to Cumberbatch's Wikipedia page as a great infobox photo, or print it in a book. In reality it's a photo by Larry Busacca who would expect to be credited and paid if someone wanted to use his work, and who has not allowed its use on Wikipedia. --Lord Belbury (talk) 10:09, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Ok, no problem I will let it be deleted and erase it on my sandbox. Ragnarok861 (talk) 10:14, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

@Ragnarok861: Okay, thanks. Category:Benedict Cumberbatch has plenty of existing, free photos of the guy to choose from. --Lord Belbury (talk) 10:16, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

AN thread

Hi, I've moved your new thread up to Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/Blocks_and_protections#User:Queen_Staša_Ice. --Túrelio (talk) 08:53, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

@Túrelio: Is that best practice for new requests, or just a way of tidying up old ones? I filed a newer report (Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/Blocks_and_protections#User:Staša_Mirković_1912) as a subsection and there's been no response to it in three and a half hours. --Lord Belbury (talk) 17:01, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Image uploading

Hello Lord Belbury. I uploaded an a picture of Pepe the Frog from Reddit and a picture of Elon Musk with his soon from this tweet : https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1357991946082418690?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1357991946082418690%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmadame.lefigaro.fr%2Fcelebrites%2Felon-musk-partage-une-rare-photo-de-son-fils-x-ae-a-xii-090221-194906 I don't know how to use Commons very well and I'm sorry if I did something wrong. How could I solve the problem about this pictures ? --Belisarius12 (talk) 20:16, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

@Belisarius12: No problem, both of the images have been deleted now. You can take a look at Commons:Licensing to learn about what kinds of images are and aren't accepted by Commons. Lord Belbury (talk) 21:00, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Diego Varagić

For what i believe, i accidentaly choosed that one, thinking about that this copy still exist on the web search. So by said, if you can make a decision to, what i say "speedy delete" that exact file, please don't make me uspet for what i believe, you should delete the Diego-varagic-1960 image, it's a real thing.— Preceding unsigned comment added by GingerAnimationz (talk • contribs)

@GingerAnimationz: Sorry, I don't understand exactly what you're saying here. Do you want File:Diego varagic 1960.jpg to be deleted?

If you don't want it to be deleted, where on barikada.com does it say that this photo is CC-Attribution licenced? --Lord Belbury (talk) 20:42, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, the old Barikada website actually mentioned the Diego's biography, for were he and why. So I bet they've deleted the whole biography of him obviously. So I went to archive.org to archive it, and found the exact photo of the singer Diego Varagić (from what I believed, I right clicked the file that was blank, and opened the browser that mentioned it, just as how it had a good resolution and stuff) And note that mistakenly said you about you gonna speedy delete that Diego varagic 1960 image, I was wanna saying that you can delete that same image (that is in fact it's written in Numbers, while the letter A is in it) that I upload it, which I believe it matches the same image, so that's all! Hope you understand GingerAnimationz (talk) 21:28, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

@GingerAnimationz: Sorry, I still can't understand what you're saying. I didn't mark the file for speedy deletion, I marked it for lacking evidence of permission. It still lacks that evidence, and someone else has marked it the same way again. Please provide evidence that barikada.com released this photo under a CC-Attribution licence. Thanks. --Lord Belbury (talk) 07:12, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

no, I just marked it as my own work, so I did changed it, not to be bullied by some people who should see the evidence right now! GingerAnimationz (talk) 08:44, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

@GingerAnimationz: Unless you personally took this photo 60 years ago, you must show that the photographer released it under a CC-Attribution licence. --Lord Belbury (talk) 08:46, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

http://web.archive.org/web/20180420121837/http://www.old.barikada.com/svastara/2009/2009-12-06_diego_varagic.php GingerAnimationz (talk) 09:30, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

@GingerAnimationz: Okay. That website does not claim that the photo is CC-Attribution, so unless you are claiming to be the photographer or have some other proof that the photographer released it as CC-Attribution or similar, the image will be deleted from Commons. --Lord Belbury (talk) 09:44, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Please Delete Dutton, wrong photo uploaded

4/22/22 – thanks for catching. Wrong photo of Thomas A Dutton Uploaded from university website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Readbooksplease (talk • contribs) 12:40, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

@Readbooksplease: No problem, I imagine it'll be deleted as soon as an admin checks my deletion suggestion. --Lord Belbury (talk) 13:46, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

is it possible for you to review Dutton's page i wrote as well? thanks Readbooksplease (talk) 13:48, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

@Readbooksplease: Sorry, no, I'm not familiar enough with the reviewing process on Wikipedia. --Lord Belbury (talk) 13:50, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Regarding uploading film poster

Hi, with regards to film posters how may I upload one to the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_(film) without getting flagged for copyright? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Publicistor (talk • contribs) 09:36, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

@Publicistor: If you own the rights to the poster, provide evidence of that via COM:VRT. If you don't own the rights to the poster, upload it to Wikipedia rather than Commons, and as fair use - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Non-free_content --Lord Belbury (talk) 09:38, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

@Lord Belburythank you! Publicistor (talk) 20:25, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

VFC

Thanks for your advice regarding VFC! After some technical fiddling (had to follow the instructions for non-autoconfirmed for some reason) I've tested it out. Is there a way to remove the notification of uploading account? Seems a bit pointless in this case. Best, Chipmunkdavis (talk) 16:08, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

@Chipmunkdavis: Good to hear you're finding it useful. No option for removing notifications that I'm aware of. It looks like a bot has stopped by the user's talk page to repost the notification anyway. Lord Belbury (talk) 17:00, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Ah well. Far be it from me to stand against the robots. Thanks again! Chipmunkdavis (talk) 02:07, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Filipino logos

hi! it seems some might be legit. i spot checked File:Bohol Police Department.png. google led me to https://pro7.pnp.gov.ph/bohol-provincial-police-office/ . :/ RZuo (talk) 19:15, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

@RZuo: Could well be, although the website header uses the other version of the image, and from the file URLs was uploaded more recently. I was operating under Wikipedia's "presumption in ambiguous cases should be to revert" for block evasion, that it's not a good use of volunteer time to scrupulously research and judge each of a hundred uploads when a user was evading a block, has uploaded subtly misleading files in the past, and didn't provide any sources. --Lord Belbury (talk) 07:26, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

i have no energy or knowledge to verify filipino stuff either. however, i think, maybe the user was trying to contribute, but s/he's not doing it right, which could be due to language barrier etc. i spot checked another File:Lapu Lapu City Police Department.png and the new logo is also legit https://pro7.pnp.gov.ph/lapu-lapu-city-police-office/ . in this and the aforementioned cases the website banner is not updated, but their constantly updated facebook pages have changed the logos. RZuo (talk) 08:00, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

@RZuo: Fair comment. So what course do you recommend taking if I notice this user uploading another hundred maps and badges next week? --Lord Belbury (talk) 11:21, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

i think best we can do is write to him/her first, asking him/her to provide urls from which s/he got the files. if s/he cant speak english, maybe we could try finding a tagalog speaker and talk to him/her. if s/he doesnt respond, then we should just continue nuking the uploads until s/he stops, i guess. RZuo (talk) 14:21, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

i'm willing to spot check some files next time. RZuo (talk) 14:30, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

Will let you know. I'll also tag SeanJ 2007 (talk · contribs) into this conversation in case they have any input on it: they were aware of the sock user before I was, and are active on the Tagalog Wikipedia project. --Lord Belbury (talk) 14:42, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

File:Bohol Police Department.png current logo is obviously fake, I searched it on google and it is not similar to the others. If you guys want to nominate it for deletion, go for it. SeanJ 2007 (talk) 02:29, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

@SeanJ 2007: The https://pro7.pnp.gov.ph/bohol-provincial-police-office/ link at the top (which seems to be offline today) did include both the blue and brown shield logos, with only minor differences in colouring from the Commons uploads. Should we not be trusting that website? --Lord Belbury (talk) 07:59, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.155432950111830&type=3 RZuo (talk) 14:42, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

@RZuo: Oh okay, so the current file File:Bohol Police Department.png came from the website you mentioned. SeanJ 2007 (talk) 05:49, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

@Lord Belbury: The website you mentioned is trusted because it came from a government website. SeanJ 2007 (talk) 05:46, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

File:Personified hiijri months.png

I say one thing, this drawing is my OWN, not from DeviantArt or Google, I don't use DeviantArt, I just use Reddit, Tumblr, Instagram, Twitter only. I say TRUE, not lying! --Monthie (talk) 12:36, 21 May 2022

@Monthie: The deletion request is saying that you took File:ColombiaNationPeopleScreenshotCutted.png from DeviantArt which, got it, you've never used and that wasn't your picture. If you want to clarify that this other drawing is yours, leave a comment at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Personified hiijri months.png. --Lord Belbury (talk) 11:42, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

I already let it in the file talk section --Monthie (talk) 12:57, 21 May 2022

@Monthie: Then that's the wrong place, you need to leave it at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Personified hiijri months.png. Thanks. --Lord Belbury (talk) 11:59, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Ok --Monthie (talk) 13:05, 21 May 2022

Hello, I have the right to host these files Content and copyright Rosoboronexport. Logvlad9 (talk) 09:12, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

@Logvlad9: Thanks, I'll remove the templates and work out what licence that should be filed under. --Lord Belbury (talk) 09:25, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

@Lord Belbury: You deleted one video from rosoboronexport, which was taken from their youtube channel. Logvlad9 (talk) 09:34, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

@Logvlad9: I checked the YouTube source on that one and it was explicitly uploaded under the YouTube Standard Licence there. YouTube users have the option to upload as CC-Attribution, but Rosoboronexport chose not to do that. If you can show that it falls under the website licence, you can request undeletion at COM:UNDEL.

I've started a discussion at Commons:Village_pump/Copyright#roe.ru_licence to find out what licence these media should be uploaded as, since Rosoboronexport aren't explicitly saying that they are CC-Attribution. --Lord Belbury (talk) 09:39, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

@Lord Belbury: "All materials of the official website of Rosoboronexport can be reproduced in any media, on Internet servers or on any other media without any restrictions on the volume and timing of publication, indicating the source." - nothing is said about YouTube, but since full permission is given to publish their materials from the site, it is quite logical that they will not be against it. In addition, the video has their emblem with the inscription. Logvlad9 (talk) 09:46, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

@Logvlad9: It does seem likely, but it depends whether the video also appears on their "official website" or not. If it's on the channel but not the website, they may have drawn that distinction very deliberately, perhaps if the video used some sections of footage that they didn't own the full copyright to. You can raise this in the undeletion request. --Lord Belbury (talk) 09:49, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

@Lord Belbury: I went to the description on their YouTube channel. JSC Rosoboronexport is listed there, the same is on their website. They don't host videos on their site at all. But on the YouTube channel, all their videos are published with their logo and the inscription rosoboronexport. Logvlad9 (talk) 09:59, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

@Logvlad9: Sounds like it depends whether "materials of the official website of Rosoboronexport can be reproduced in any media" (which I appreciate is only a machine translation of the original text!) could be said to apply to their YouTube channel or any other social media output. If that's an accurate translation, I would assume not. --Lord Belbury (talk) 10:04, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

@Lord Belbury: I emailed them with this question. Logvlad9 (talk) 10:13, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

@Lord Belbury: They have a video on the official website. And these videos link to their YouTube channel. If they publish videos from their YouTube channel on their website, and not separately. So the site is directly connected to the YouTube channel. Logvlad9 (talk) 11:45, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

@Logvlad9: Okay, thanks for looking into it. Raise that at COM:UNDEL and an admin will consider it. --Lord Belbury (talk) 11:47, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

"Thanks for uploading File:Hyperthermia and Hypothermia oct2021.png. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license.

What does this mean? It is my work and I do not know how to prove the copyright thing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by All cats are british (talk • contribs) 18:04, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

@All cats are british: Didn't realise you were claiming to be the Kayra Kaya who's named as the author there. That's fine, then, I'll take the template off and make the name link to your Commons profile so that it's clearer what's being claimed, to anyone else checking it in the future. --Lord Belbury (talk) 18:10, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

I should have specified that. I already sent an email but I think it will be solved. I also couldn't find the other works I've uploaded from my old account. All cats are british (talk) 18:15, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Richiesta di mantenimento dell'immagine "Cugino di Cristoforo Colombo".png

Salve, dal mio account Wikipedia ho saputo che è stato cancellato un file con questa dicitura: "‎Immagine scherzo inutilizzata, fuori da ‎‎COM:SCOPE‎‎. Sfondo presumibilmente di pubblico dominio, immagine di occhiali da sole sovrapposta presumibilmente no." In realtà lo scopo era (Visto che oltre a Wikipedia uso anche la nonciclopedia) usarla in una pagina di, appunto, nonciclopedia. Poi per quanto riguarda gli occhiali, sono stati presi da paint 3d sotto licenza di pubblico dominio. Grazie Cinescienza (talk) 07:58, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

@Cinescienza: Sorry, I don't know what you mean by "nonciclopedia". If you think the image should not be deleted, reply at Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Centomilcento.png. --Lord Belbury (talk) 11:48, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
