Template:·Animalia species

edit

I think the idea was to create links to articles about animals in different languages, but interwikilinks do that way better. 80% of all links from that template link to not yet created articles. Delete. --Conti|✉ 20:38, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

This has been listed for a week with no comments. However, commons does not have a "Templates for deletion" template yet, so it's unlikely that this template's creators and users are aware of its listing here. (Plus it's used on a lot of pages). Perhaps a template for templates should be created? — Dan | Talk 00:40, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I created Template:Templatedeletionrequest and put it at the top of this template, so whoever normally uses it will know it's been listed here. If, after a week, there are still no comments, it should be deleted. — Dan | Talk 23:58, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
This template also does not work properly, many language links lead to empty pages. I have deleted it as it brings nothing and is rather misleading. notafish }<';> 08:38, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Template:Money

edit

According to the template, fair use may apply to certain images which is in conflict with Commons policy where fair use images cannot be uploaded to this site. RedWolf 17:32, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Full Ack: Despite some problems with images of money which are (in case the copyright is expired, which is not in most cases of actual currencies in use) somewhat similar to insignias. But Fair Use has absoluteley nothing to do here as it is not according to the license conditions of the commons. And despite that: "Fair use" only exist within the US. In Germany there even does not exist an equivalent. Arnomane 22:33, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Not too sure to see where is the probleme Shizhao. I can read a GFDL licence on right on http://www.ibiblio.org/maritime/ main page. Moreover, from I've read on his page, Frederic seems to be Frederic Logghe. So what is the point Shizao? :-) villy 21:40, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

What is the added value to have thousand of image of the same subject (here fishing boat)? If we start to accept this kind of massive upload soon people will start to post their holiday pictures. Greatpatton 10:20, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Here I agree, Greatpatton. Maybe Commons should express more insistently the necessity for the file to have *some* interest for the Foundation projects. villy 07:32, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
In my first upload, I made a mistake, so no copyright message was attached. The reason for this'massive' upload was by request.

Swedish money

edit

People seem to believe that images of coins and bills are public domain by default. The Swedish central bank claims on its web page [1] that it discourages the use of images of its currency and that is has so far not have to invoke its copyright. There is no reason to believe that the Riksbank has issued the currency to the public domain and the following images should be deleted:

1 banknote of Ringgit (Malaysian money). Money pic no copyright?--Shizhao 11:49, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It's necessary to look into Malaysia copyright law. For example, in Belarus/Russia/Ukraine money are not copyrighted.

Also, adding the GFDL license for good measure does not change a thing.

Image:Adolph-Menzel-Aquarell-gemalt-von-Eduard-Magnus-1837.jpg

edit

This image is used on Thomas7's French user page (fr:Utilisateur:Thomas7). This user uploaded it on Commons without mentioning its source. The problem is that the picture has been edited and is not a genuine reproduction : one could see an Nazi eagle and a svatiska twice on it on transparency, at the top of the picture (right and left). villy 18:46, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

That is not the truth. Look for the history of this image. The user Thomas7f (not myself Thomas7 without f) is abusing my Userid and is uploading nazi-images to bring down my reputation. In the german wikipedia and as a queer I had conflicts with right wing Studentenverbindungen. This kind of mobbing is typical for their behaviour. The picture of the famous painter Adolph Menzel was imprinted with nazi-emblems in watermarks by this mobber. Menzel died in 1905, his pictures could be seen in international galeries and are public domain. The picture of Eduard Magnus is public domain too. My original computer image was without this watermark falsifications. I have reloaded the original file. The mobber try to camouflage by bringing citations of my discussion texts on his disuccion page. Thomas7 00:00, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Okay, the new upload is clean so I've removed the deletion tag. I have protected the image page to avoid new uploads for now and blocked Thomas7f. Yet, it is a shame that Commons becomes a new playground for the everlasting conflict between Thomas7 and evil restoftheworld. And I'm not sure that Thomas7 and Thomas7f are not the exact same person ... villy 06:38, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
No, it is not a conflict between Thomas7 and evil restoftheworld, but a conflict between Thomas7 an group of right wing fans of right wing Studentenverbindungen. No I'm not this person Thomas7f, who tries to damage my reputation. You are trapped by this right-wing groups, if you give reasons, that thomas7 and thomas7f are the same person.

Image:Amoeba_Music_San_Francisco_Exterior.jpg

edit

This image has been obsoleted by Image:Amoeba_Music_San_Francisco_Facade.jpg which is of better quality. The original was overly bright due to a miscalibrated monitor and appeared washed out.

Of course, when you modify an image, you should always upload the original unmodified image first. I went ahead and uploaded the "Exterior" washed-out version to "Facade". Otherwise I'd object to the deletion. Dbenbenn 23:34, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I didn't realize it was possible to replace an image. The original image I uploaded was brightened -- I had forgotten that the monitor I am currently using is dying and is too dark. The second image I uploaded was the original, not brightened at all, which I checked with a fully bright monitor and looks fine. I don't understand what you've done here, can you clarify? Why did you re-upload the poor quality washed-out version to the better quality facade? The washed-out version was a mistake and doesn't belong. --Bungopolis 00:39, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Oh, my bad. You wrote "the original" above: I thought you meant the original from the camera. I assumed you had darkened the image with Photoshop or something. And "miscalibrated monitor" I thought meant "miscalibrated lightmeter". Sorry, Dbenbenn 01:30, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
What I did exactly: I uploaded the bright version with the name "Amoeba_Music_San_Francisco_Facade.jpg". Then I clicked on the "rev" link in the "Image history" next to the version you uploaded. "rev" stands for "revert": I simply restored the dark version as the current one. The "(0 bytes)" is a bug.
It's possible to get that lighter version deleted from the "Image history" if you really want. Dbenbenn 01:34, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
No problem, sorry about my confusing wording. Thanks for your help. --Bungopolis 02:30, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

This image is a collage out of several images. The image of asteroid Ceres is not free it is for educational and informational purposes only, see [3]: These images may be used by the public and the media for educational and informational purposes only.

That is how it is used, isn't it? It shouldn't be deleted, but rather the copyright notice amended accordingly.

Sorry but this is not in accordance with the allowed licenses of the commons. I noticed that couse there was the very same image in de-wikipedia and it was deleted because of that (de-wikipedia has the same image conditions as the commons)
But (as I also I like the image itself) I would suggest to you to simply drop them a mail and ask for public domain use and I'm quite confident that they will do so. Arnomane 00:03, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Не являются объектами авторского права:

Euro commons face coins photos

edit

As stated here : « The copyright on the design of the common face of the euro coins belongs to the European Community represented by the Commission. The European Commission has assigned to each of the Member States adopting the euro all the Community rights as regards the territory of such Member State. The Commission will assign the copyright to the other Member States once they adopt the euro. ». Though their their reproduction regime allow photographs, it's still copyrighted content not for commons: (ex: derivativ works of the photos released under gfdl could be an infringement with commission copyright).

I added the deletion request tag on it. FoeNyx 18:37, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Yes, you are perfectly right. It's a fact that the ECB owns the copyright for euro coins (and for the banknotes, but shuush!, dont tell anyone). But it is also a fact that the ECB does not take any action against a person violating this copyright unless he does anything really evil... Let's keep cool. Law is not to irk people but to protect them. So I think we should see over the "copyright violation" in this case. Every big store - e.g. ALDI does it in its advertisements every small store does it in its ads... By the way... You have concerns about copyrighted work on Wikimedia Commons? I have a hint for you, underhand... All the images on this page are copyrighted. Maybe someone should propose them for deletion...
What I want to say is: please don't delete the euro-pics. a) we would lie on ourselfes (because s.o. would upload the pics in a wikipedia instead of uploading it here at commons) b) we would take unneccessary action. again: ecb doesnt care unless we do s.th. bad —King 00:55, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Every GPL and GFDL image on Commons is copyrighted. This does not mean we cannot use them. The question is whether or not they are available for use under a free license. silsor 21:49, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
It is not a question of risk, it is a question of principle. Commons is not the right place to match any copyright law. Commons need a clean database that can be used everywhere in the world without question nor fear. In my opinion, there is no question that this material has to be deleted. Contrarily to what you've said, I can't see any copyright infringement on this page. again: ecb doesnt care unless we do s.th. bad : I'm not going to be comfy if we are supposed to wait for a counterfactor to get his material from here to take care of the situation. Again, Commons is based on free material. This is quite simple actually. You next step will be predictably to accept Fair Use in here ... villy 20:12, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Hi villy, this dream is proofed to be wrong. Think of usage restriction in North Korea, China or Kuba. Even think of usage restriction in germany or france. Usage restriction of every picture must be proofed in every wikipedia and according to local law. You have to accept reality, that GFDL is not the world and not the answer to all questions. Please keep in mind, that certain words have usage restriction, there actually was a lawsuit concerning the WORD Düsseldorf (500000 € penalty, no joke!). And tell me about clean database. Is this another word for empty database?
However, there are usage restrictions. These may be comparable to ones of the coat of arms. Please ask your local bank of issue. Pictures of currency must be published in a very certain way. We should accept these conditions and should keep pictures with currencies -- Stahlkocher 18:26, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but I cannot make head or tail of this. This is not a question of "local law" — this is a question of copyright law, which is somewhat standardized under the Berne agreement. Those images are copyrighted by the ECB, and we do not have authorization, period. Nobody talked about the GFDL. David.Monniaux 19:04, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Guys, don't panic. I have found this, an official website of the ECB where you can upload all kinds of Euro images (photos) "for your use". There are no restrictions noted. It seems the ECB wants to use "us" those images. So we don't have to care about a deletion anymore. CON DELETION Mattes 22:50, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Even if Commission (European Central Bank own (c) on bills see next entry) allow reproduction in photographs, as they own the (c) it's not releasable in GFDL. Here the restrictions on derivative work (which is part of gfdl or ccbysa):

« Reproduction of all or part of the common face design of the euro coins is authorised without recourse to a specific procedure in the following cases:

  • for photographs, drawings, paintings, films, images, and generally reproductions in flat format (without relief) provided they are in faithful likeness and are used in ways which do not damage or detract from the image of the euro.
  • For reproduction with relief on objects other than coins, medals and tokens or any other objects which might be confused with coins.
  • For reproduction on tokens made in soft materials or made in plastic provided the size is at least 50% greater or smaller than the real coins.

Reproduction on medals and tokens made in metal or on any other object made in metal which might be confused with coins is not authorised.

Any other reproduction of all or part of the common face design of the euro coins has to be expressly authorised by the European Commission in the case of non-participating Member States, and by the designated authority of the Member State to which the copyright has been assigned in the case of participating Member States.

You do not want to understand me, do you? If the problem was the wrong declaration, we had to put a different copyright-note below the euro-pics. but you want to delete them, because they are not usable without restrictions. I say it once again: the use of the wikimedia-logos is restricted like the euro's is! —King 18:00, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Wikimedia logos are indeed copyrighted King. The owner is Wikimedia Foundation, since the copyright of most of these have been assigned to WMFoundation or are about to be assigned. Which makes their reproduction on Commons, a WMFoundation projetc, perfectly valid. On the other hand, WMFoundation does not own copyrights on Euro coins and banknotes.

These Pictures are ok, because they can´t be used for creating false banknotes. Only picture suitable for creating false notes are banned (very high resolution scans of full notes without "specimen" oder "void" on them i.e.). (btw: ever read the last sentence of the above quote?!?) GNU-FDL would be wrong. PD would be it. Keep them. ((o)), Ja, bitte?!? 08:43, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
The problem here is the licences of the images : you can not release by yourself a picture under gfdl if you do not hold the copyright on the content except if you have autorization to do so. Here you have right of reproduction, not to release under gfdl. —FoeNyx 16:01, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I want to show the capabilities of payable astronomical telescopes in comparison to the images of cassini-huygens in the article Titan (Moon) in the german wikipedia if someone wants to observate the moon Titan. The image shows , what you can see practically, if you have a telescope which has an enlargement of 200x. The paragraph were I use the image is about the optical observation of titan.

Category:Portuguese districts

edit

The maps in Category:Portuguese districts were uploaded from portugese Wikipedia by User:GloriosoRocha claiming they are GFDL. They are in fact only used by permission on Portugese Wikipedia and clearly marked as such. Hence the following images should be deleted:

Thuresson 14:08, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

These are not the only maps that should be deleted from Commons. In fact, all the portuguese subnational maps (Category:Maps of Portugal) should be deleted from commons because they were either made by me or made by changing my maps. My maps cannot be in commons because I made them using someone else's map as basis. Even if I changed the original map substantially, my maps are not entirely original work and therefore I cannot put them under GFDL unless the author of the original map agrees to it. So far, he didn't. The maps were used in the portuguese wikipedia under fair use. This is the only reason for the deletion of these images. But I thik I should also stress out that until commons behaves linguistically in a way that I'm satisfied with, these maps will always remain under a non-GFDL license (unless the original author puts his map under GFDL, in which case I'll have no option but to put mine under GFDL as well).

  • Today I received an email from counsel at AP granting Wikipedia use of this photo and another. The photo needs to be attributed and cannot be redistributed.

  • One seems to be wrong, AP or the US-administration. Why don´t you call 301-837-3530 for the NARA office and ask there for a permission or clarification? I doesn't make to much sense to me for calling someone who sells pictures for proofing one of its pictures to be in public domain. It is the same in germany, where you can buy pictures (at high resolution) which content is public domain. -- Stahlkocher 18:01, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Well known fact this photo was taken by Joe Rosenthal of the AP, it won the Pullitzer Prize, AP owns the image, there is no doubt about that. NARA makes it clear they have copyrighted work on their site and it is up to the user to obtain permissions to use it. Here's some independent confirmation of the copyright though [6] --Wgfinley 18:49, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • A little note: the works of US government employees during their duties falls automatically into the public domain; however, this does not extend to government contractors, employees of press agencies embedded in military units, etc. Rosenthal was not a soldier (who would be an employee of the US government), but was employed by AP. Unless AP has released the picture into the public domain (which it hasn't, from what they say), they own the copyright. I suspect that the National Archives have a wrong "use restrictions" field. In all cases, we should contact them. David.Monniaux 19:20, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

For most of this material, a citizen can only get access to it after agreeing that it will not be used for commercial purposes. However, this "non-commercial use" requirement does not include the video footage from the cafeteria and it could be argued that the video footage likely is public domain.
