These images in Brooklyn Museum
Dear Admins and experienced users,
- File:Brooklyn Museum - City Landscape - Francis Criss.jpg
- File:Brooklyn Museum - Foot Bath - John R. Frazier - overall.jpg
File:Brooklyn Museum - Louisiana Rice Fields - Thomas Hart Benton.jpgFile:Brooklyn Museum - Louisiana Rice Fields - Thomas Hart Benton (cropped).jpgFile:Brooklyn Museum - Portrait of Abraham Walkowitz - Max Weber - overall.jpg- File:Brooklyn Museum - Trinity Church and Wall Street - Bertram Hartman.jpg
The Brooklyn Museum Bot long ago uploaded these six 2D paintings of artists who died between 1960 to 1973 but no one wants to review them. Can WikiCommons keep these images? I think the PD-70 year rule may be a problem. Just asking for your opinions. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 23:17, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: This image File:Brooklyn Museum - Portrait of Abraham Walkowitz - Max Weber - overall.jpg was created in 1907. Maybe PD-1922 applies? --Leoboudv (talk) 23:23, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- The Francis Criss painting from 1934 might be a problem. The 1929 painting might be OK in less than a week. I don't see a reason to doubt the rest. Abzeronow (talk) 23:28, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Secondly, this painting File:Brooklyn Museum - City Landscape - Francis Criss.jpg has a credit line which says "Courtesy of the Fine Arts Program, U.S. General Services Administration." Maybe that is why few people want to review such works with complex copyright. Who owns the copyright here or when did it start? Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 23:29, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- I will pass File:Brooklyn Museum - Portrait of Abraham Walkowitz - Max Weber - overall.jpg since it dates before 1922 but the rest of the paintings are a question mark. Maybe an Admin can give advice here. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 13:08, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- I added
{{PD-Art|PD-US-expired}}
for this one. Yann (talk) 13:58, 27 December 2024 (UTC) - US paintings from 1930 to 1963 may be {{PD-US}} for lack of copyright notice or renewal. Copyright database needs to be checked. Yann (talk) 14:01, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- I added
- Thanks Yann It seems safer to not review them in this case...despite the Brooklyn Museum assurance that there are no copyright restrictions on them. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 23:50, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Leoboudv: Could you please explain why? Yann (talk) 10:17, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Dear Yann The Brooklyn Museum says "This image (ie. painting) was uploaded by the Brooklyn Museum as a content partnership, and is considered to have no known copyright restrictions by the institutions of the Brooklyn Museum." But with no information of a for lack of copyright notice or renewal, do we know if the remaining images are OK for Commons. I have to sign of now for bed...but it is a hard question. Unless MGA73 knows a bit about their current copyright...which is really complex. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 12:40, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, but please do not edit my posts. Yann (talk) 12:55, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I was Ping'ed. I do not know more about those paintings than allready said. If a museum check copyright and find it to be expired then I think the risk is low. As said above the copyright could be gone for lack of copyright notice or renewal. --MGA73 (talk) 13:48, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks MGA73 for your advice. I am sure we can trust the Brooklyn Museum here when they say there are no copyright restrictions. I will pass a few more images like the two Brookyln Museum rice fiellds due to this DR too. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 22:00, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Request for removal of rights
Please remove my advanced rights. I no longer have a use for them. Thanks in advance. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 02:26, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Done - I will however grant autopatroller. Regards, Aafi (talk) 04:48, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Likely copyvio uploads
All the 86 uploads by User:Mkrax are highly suspicious, though I've not been able to find sources with tineye. Cited sources like "Some multiple websites" and "At Facebook, websites , and other" just don't conform to Commons standards, though. Mass delete? Advice, please! - MPF (talk) 21:11, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- I sampled half a dozen; Google Lens all found the original sources with free licenses on none of them. I've deleted all uploads as copyvios. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:34, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! Wonder why tineye didn't find any?? Is it useless? - MPF (talk) 22:22, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- @MPF: Tineye has definitely become less effective in recent years; I'm not sure why. Under Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets, you can enable the "Google Images & Tineye" gadget, which adds an easy Google Lens link to file pages. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:48, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Pi.1415926535 - thanks! Not a great fan of google though, given their reputation for data theft from people's computers - MPF (talk) 23:05, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
