How can a file under Creative Commons license be deleted for copyright infringement? On what grounds was it deleted? Was its license checked? - Ash wki (talk) 15:35, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
File:Anti-discrimination Students Movement procession on 2 August.webp has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise,everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.
The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.)
Where is the evidence that this photo has been put under a free license? The provided source doesn't say so. The author, who is the only who can release it under a CC-BY license, is unknown, as you claim. --Túrelio (talk) 20:25, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please, read very well my instructions: it's the opposite files to be redirected. Don't do the same error and invert immediately it for "Kenkichi Tomimoto & Shinichi Sasagawa" and "Kenkichi Tomimoto (1917)". 82.61.202.8010:45, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Each one of the duplicate-files were protected (likely due to previous edit-warring). Therefore I had to redirect to the protected versions, not the other way round. --Túrelio (talk) 10:51, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Yamamoto Heikichi" is very good, with the full page and the Japanese explanation. Can you redirect "Yamamoto Heikichi (1913)" to it? Thank you. 79.16.11.6811:25, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I would like to include the Spanish version of this image, but for any reason I made a bad job. I am rather new in wikipedia and learning... Can you tell me why you delete it, please? Thanks Beatriz.V1.0 (talk) 01:38, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ahhh...I can see, there is an Spanish version by Victor Atallah in X. Sorry I am not in X and I have no user in this social network. How to proceed? Beatriz.V1.0 (talk) 01:44, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, by "Spanish version" you mean a version where all the text is in spanish, right? You can access content on Twitter/X without having an own account. I doubt that the text in this diagram is above threshold of originality. So, you could simply copy it. On the other hand, as the original comes from the FDA and as Spanish is a relevant language in the U.S., the FDA might themselves have a Spanish version. --Túrelio (talk) 10:33, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, complete text in Spanish and yes, I can access the X, but I assume that X is not a confident source of information. I will try to get the files at FDA or contact them. Thanks --Túrelio. Beatriz.V1.0 (talk) 11:45, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, sorry, I hadn't seen the past history. However, the file has now been protected by a colleague. So, before taking any action, first we need to come to an agreement/consensus. --Túrelio (talk) 10:35, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for answering! That protection is clearly wrong and unreasonable… But how can we come to an agreement if that colleague ignores requests? 81.23.164.4509:59, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Chiedo scusa, invece che continuare a cancellarmi le foto e le modifiche che faccio, mi puoi dire dove diavolo sbaglio??? Almeno risolvo il problema una volta per tutte!!! La foto è mia, l'ho scattata io, non ci sono diritti sopra, è di libero utilizzo!! Se per cortesia mi dite COSA devo scrivere e DOVE mi fareste un favore. Continuare a cancellarmi tutto ogni settimana fa perdere tempo a me e a voi! RolanddiGilead1971 (talk) 10:56, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the most important question is whether YOU are really the photographer. I doubt that, as none of your uploads has metadata from the camera. In File:Emilie Haavi in azione con la maglia della Roma - stagione 23-24 2.jpeg you wrote "Foto scattata da un amico durante una partita di campionato e concessami in uso gratuito e libero per Wikipedia". As the other images are of a similar appearance, I assume at best that they come from the same "friend". If that is true, then 1) you cannot write "own work", and 2) your friend needs to personally confirm to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org (OTRS) that he/she agrees that his/her photos are released on Commons under a free license, that also allows commercial re-use. AFAIK, the same has been told to you already on your talkpage on :it.--Túrelio (talk) 11:04, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, your userpage User:Frv24 is not the right place to write/develop a page/article about another person. Use your talkpage for that or create a subpage, such as User talk:Frv24/Fernando Veloz for example. Anyway, Commons is not the place for articles, but just for files/media.--Túrelio (talk) 21:02, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you access the file? I purged the page for a few times, but at the end I only get File not found: /v1/AUTH_mw/wikipedia-commons-local-public.d5/d/d5/Typhoon-Yagi_5.jpg when I clicked into the image. What problem do you think it is?廣九直通車 (talk) 09:11, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. It is shown without any problem; I now checked all resolutions. If you have a second browser on your computer, eventually try it with that one. If it works well, it might be a cache-problem of the first browser. Just try to clear its cache. --Túrelio (talk) 09:16, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's strange. I tried my computer's Microsoft Edge and my phone's Google Chrome. None succeeded. Also the smaller resolutions returned 404 error. Maybe I'll send the matter to COM:VPT. Anyways thanks for clarifying the file is not broken.廣九直通車 (talk) 12:55, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Túrelio, ich habe den beschädigten Totentanz fotografiert und eine Unterkategorie angelegt, der ich die „destroyed“-Kategorie gegeben habe. Das Original wird ja wohl wieder restauriert werden … liebe Grüße aus Köln Elya (talk) 10:43, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for deleting File:Ümminger Straße 23 4.jpg. I'm not even sure how it's possible to upload a duplicate in a batch upload from a technical point of view...
If you don't mind, I think you can also delete the file redirect that was left behind. The duplicate wasn't used anywhere, so the redirect probably won't be missed. Nakonana (talk) 11:15, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Túrelio, I hope you're fine. Since you're an active admin and editor here, I wanted to flag a potentially interesting discussion at the Village Pump, started by Selena Deckelmann about finding a better way of supporting Commons. Maybe you can consider, if you have time, to share your thoughts? Thanks in advance! Sannita (WMF) (talk) 14:20, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, well it was first uploaded to iNaturalist and quite some months later to Commons. Please send a confirmation of the free license (without NC) for the Commons-file from your iNaturalist-account/address to permissons-commons@wikimedia.org (OTRS). --Túrelio (talk) 21:04, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The 1898 Maltese Red Ensign was not decommissioned until 1943, so this redirect link is no longer necessary. So I recommend deleting this redirect page. 反共抗獨光復民國 (talk) 04:59, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't delete categories like this that are well-established and arguably correct. If the category is to be renamed (which should happen after a discussion) then at least a redirect should be left. This was NOT a valid speedy deletion.
Because it was uploaded >7 days ago and is still in use. You may open a regular deletion-request (w. discussion), but should first offer/look for a replacement for its current uses.--Túrelio (talk) 09:02, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Within 7 days after upload, the uploader can request speedy-deletion for whathever reason, provided the image is not in use on any Wikimedia-project. Outside of these conditions you can request (regular) deletion, which is open for discussion. --Túrelio (talk) 09:35, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
because they had four or five images + a heading/subdivision before the requester emptied the gallery pages + asked for a speedy deletion? I think before deleting such galleries they at least deserve a proper deletion request, not a speedy deletion (which is for galleries with less than two images). See Commons:Administrators' noticeboard for more information. JopkeB (talk) 07:52, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't care that the galleries were restored but appreciate it if @JopkeB: stopped lying that GA1 only applies to galleries with less than two images. That's clearly not what the guideline says and I don't think pages should be restored purely because of patently false information. Otherwise there's zero point in wasting the time doing this.
BTW JopkeB there's been several times recently where I Deferred to you about something even though I thought you were wrong. I'm not aaying your obligated to return that, but you might want to think about if coming after me over this just because of a couple pointless galleries that don't have any views anyway is really worth it. I could really give a crap about two or three galleries at the end of the day, but its really not collaborative or conducive of a civil atmosphere to make this much of an issue out of it when I've more then gone out of my way to accommodate you even when you were clearly wrong. The galleries are meaningless, the needless drama on your end over it just makes me not want to work with you anymore though and personally I think that would be a loss to the project. Since I think we've done some good work together. So maybe think about it if its really worth it on your end. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:26, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As a side to that Túrelio someone on the admin board suggested she take it to the undeletion request board. I think that would have been the better option here. Maybe think doing it that way instead next time. There's normal proccess for dealing with things like this and there's no reason a page should be undeleted the second someone asks an admin about it. Especially in cases like this where the reason for the request is clearly baseless. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:41, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Túrelio please restore the file File:Virginio Simonelli shot by Marco Melfi.jpg that you deleted, the person who uploaded the file is the photographer Marco Melfi, and so the copyright owner, of the image. I complimented him on his work one day and I mentioned that Italian singer-songwriter Virginio Simonelli has a very old picture on his Wikipedia page and that one of his pictures would look great there (because I always update the page and it's annoying to see a really old picture on the page, as the one that appears now). So the photographer actually offered to upload one of his images, and he did so by himself. Indeed, he used his personal mail to create the wiki commons account, and you can easily check that if you contact him on that mail, I'm sure he is willing to offer whatever piece of information to confirm that it is him, because he wanted the picture to be used freely for Wikipedia because he considered it a homage to the community. Please, check what you have to check, but restore the file. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ravenlions (talk • contribs)
Okay, thank you. I asked the photographer if he sent the email to confirm his identity and he said yes. How many days could it take for it to be verified? So that I know when to come back to relink it to the singer's page. Thanks! Ravenlions (talk) 18:45, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As I've restored the file already, you could link it already. Usually the OTRS/VRT-volunteers act rather swiftly and change the tag already when the permission-email has arrived (even if not evaluated). --Túrelio (talk) 18:56, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am a screen printer in Hungary. I am making prints about Budapest. I've just found your image about the buda castle on wiki. I downloaded before and turns out, it is mixed with my copyright free images on my pc, i thought i am able to use it and then i made a 20-30 screen print from it. I totally change almost everything on the pic, but it is still yours. Can i get permission to sell this series in my way, then i wont use it if you say it cant be used anymore.. of course i can show you how it looks, and send you a one of them. :) 2001:4C4C:1551:1D00:0:0:0:100113:17, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Unknown,
sure. My images, as all on Commons, are under a license that freely allows commercial use. The only thing necessary is to credit me. And I would be glad to receive a link to you finalized work. --Túrelio (talk) 18:23, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hallo Túrelio, ich verstehe die Löschung der Seite nicht. Ich hatte sie vor Jahren angelegt und befüllt. Benutzer:Kev22 hat sie ohne Angabe von Gründen geleert. Jemand hat sie zur Schnelllöschung vorgeschlagen. Ich habe es relativ schnell gesehen und sofort Einspruch eingelegt, siehe Webarchiv. Trotzdem hast Du die Kategorie gelöscht mit der Begründung ((incorrectly named) duplicate, content moved to Category:Fondation Marius Berliet). Das Conservatoire Berliet ist nicht falsch benannt. Wie ich in meinem Einspruch schrieb: Fondation und Conservatoire sind 2 verschiedene Dinge, auch wenn die Fondation das Conservatoire betreibt. Die Fondation ist die Stiftung, hat ein Gebäude in Lyon-Innenstadt mit Büros, Archiv und präsentiert dort ein altes Auto. 35 km entfernt in Le Montellier befindet sich das Conservatoire - das ist die große Fahrzeugsammlung mit 200 Fahrzeugen. Die meisten Fotos in der Category:Fondation Marius Berliet zeigen Fahrzeuge aus dem Conservatoire. Bitte stelle die Kategorie wieder her, damit sie sinnvoll beschriftet und gefüllt werden kann. Gruß Buch-t (talk) 06:30, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hallo @Buch-t, ich wusste nicht, dass sie vorher geleert worden war. Ich habe sie jetzt erst einmal wieder hergestellt auf den Stand vor der speedy-Markierung. --Túrelio (talk) 09:11, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
1) You must ... obtain permission from the Parliament if you wish to charge others for access to the material ...., which IMO contradicts our COM:L-terms of allowing commercial use.
2) or modify the material, which IMO contradicts our COM:L-terms allowing to create derivative works.
3) on the condition that such use is not for the purpose of advertising, which IMO contradicts our COM:L-terms of allowing commercial use .
However, if you prefer a broader discussion, I can convert the speedy into a regular DR, which allows discussion involving other parties. --Túrelio (talk) 13:25, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Túrelio, I notice that you are an active administrator, so I would like to ask for your help. Namely, I recently left a message on Vilage pump and Commons:Administrators' noticeboard, but unfortunately no one responded. I need a person with admin rights who can create certain pages for a project supported from WMF via Rapid Grants. The syntax for pages are there, just need to do the move from my namespace to main. Very quick and small job. My understanding is that only admins can do this, so if you have some time please look at my request at Vilage pump or admin noticeboard. If you are not able to help, can you advise me who to contact. Thanks for taking the time to read the message and take any action --MikyM (talk) 15:55, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi MikyM,
though I've never worked in the campaign-space, I tried to move User:MikyM/Campaign:wlpac-r to Campaign:wlpac-rs. However, it didn't work and I got an error-message "Der Inhalt „Wikitext“ ist auf der Seite Campaign:wlpac-rs im Schlitz „main“ nicht erlaubt" (in German), which is not really understandable for me.
Thank you. It is possible that the redirection (simple move option) cannot be done but the page must be created manually. Can you try to copy the syntax manually (Edit my page, copy text, and go to create Campaign:wlpac-rs and paste). in the meantime I'll look at the list of admins who might know this, if you can't do it this way either. Thanks once again for your time. MikyM (talk) 11:24, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Feel free to revert my edit. When I created and uploaded it, the thumb of your upload was empty, showing just the pdf-symbol. --Túrelio (talk) 08:22, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
