I didn't participate in that discussion I linked above. However, I have thought for a very long time that there needs to be a better way to reduce the WP:FFD backlog. I've been stewing up in my head an idea for a new WP:CSD for files that could apply to files that would obviously be deleted per a WP:FFD discussion, but would require a 7-day wait period before the file can be deleted. The CSD would kind of be like a WP:PROD for files and could apply to files with no encyclopedia use, etc. However, since we already have several CSD that apply to fair-use files, this idea would only apply to files that are claimed to be released through a free license. In my experiences on FFD (including starting the proposal that resulted in a successful merge of WP:NFCR into FFD), I've noticed that most of the files that are immediately deleted are those that have the aforementioned issues (free, no encyclopedic value.) Any thoughts on this? Steel1943 ( talk) 19:21, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you again, but for images on WP that are suitable for uploading to commons, is there a tool that automates this and copies all the associated information? Twinkle doesn't seem to. TimothyJosephWood 13:51, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
It only crossed my mind today, but in order to de-root KurdoKardir's edits, as there are so many that it's hard to keep track of them, you should keep a lookout for the term "Karzan Kardozi", which KurdoKardir has a long history of trying to introduce into pages everywhere. I removed some mentions of this individual today, though they were from edits in mid to late 2016. Just, a word of advice as you remain vigilant over their roundabout methods of trying to reintroduce their self-promotion. DARTHBOTTO talk• cont 01:56, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Xat chat logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. DMacks ( talk) 06:07, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello!
I recently noticed you removed a photo I'd included in the Blitzen Trapper entry, due to questions about it being unreplacable with other media. Would an acceptable replacement be a photo I personally took at a concert? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevbot217 ( talk • contribs) 18:54, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading my organisation's logo: /info/en/?search=File:Institute_of_Environmental_Science_and_Research_logo.png#file Unfortunately though, you cropped the file I sent from a square 'chip' to a rectangle shape.

Thanks very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KatherineESR ( talk • contribs) 01:36, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi Majora, sorry, but I think you may have just stretched the rectangle to make a square because now the logo is very distorted. Let me know if you need me to re-send the original source file. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KatherineESR ( talk • contribs) 01:51, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

You've deleted all my edits??? Jmd640 ( talk) 03:44, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
Hey, this is a new ebook published by Storymirror publication. I have also added the link from Storymirror website. Please let me know if still it doesn't qualifies to be added to wikipedia.
Since the book was just published, I would recommend waiting a little bit. If it gains some reviews from mainstream sources (as mentioned in my comment on the draft) you can use those reviews to build a start of an article. All you would do is summarize them in your own words (don't copy and paste them). So at this point in time I would say wait and see. It is probable that the book would merit an article sometime in the future. Just not right now. -- Majora ( talk) 04:42, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I saw your discussion at File talk:Grace Akinlemibola.jpg. This is not the first time I've seen new users make the Facebook ToS argument for why media is released under a free license. To someone new not knowing anything more than "Wikipedia requires anyone to be able to use the image for any purpose", it would seem to be acceptable. Perhaps you or someone who knows the detailed reasoning behind it should write an essay/page explaining the issue with it, so those of us who patrol files have an explanation to give other than "that's not how it works". — Train2104 ( t • c) 06:20, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
Now that that is out of the way, I'll try to put together a project page explaining this but it will be easier to just do it here first. Whenever this situation arises it is generally a result of one of three errors on the part of the uploader.
So, lets take a look at the actual, total, passage from the Facebook ToS that is in play here. From https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms:
For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
"But wait!" an uploader might say. That clause says that that license is subject to "your privacy and application settings". This was brought up in this situation by also mentioning another clause further down the page that states, "When you publish content or information using the Public setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Facebook, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture)." This is what I meant by cherry picking. If you only took that clause you could reasonably guess that images posted publicly means the image is in the public domain. But now we circle back to one of the cornerstones of copyright law mentioned in #1 above. That is simply not how copyright law works.
So does Facebook's ToS make some changes to the copyright of images uploaded to their site? Yes they do. But only so far as allowing Facebook to use those images how Facebook wants. It does not void copyright, it does not change the original copyright license to public domain or even creative commons. All protections are still intact for additional use by other parties. Claiming otherwise is simply a misconception with copyright law. -- Majora ( talk) 21:07, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi Majora, Thanks for correcting the copyright infringement issues following my upload to the Uma Ukpai biography. However, I noticed you've banned me from future uploads unto Wiki? Please remove the restriction as your advice was well understood. For the biography page - Uma Ukpai, I am working on uploading acceptable image soon that does not brige the policy. Moreover, there are other works of mine that require updates with my own photos and images. Thanks. Morg4kele ( talk)

Hi, Majora! I just saw your message about Judgment logo, and that you declined to upload it because I didn't respond to you. For family reasons I was swamped for the last couple of weeks and couldn't even open wikipedia, sorry about that. As for your doubts about the logo being fan-made or something, it is totally official: you can find it easily in the game's press kit http://presskit.judgmentgame.com/ or in the official trailers ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFiSHC_UaXCgceVZkathgFg). I hope it's still possible to have it uploaded :)

You said in this that there was enough information to upload. Yet all the person who posted the request put there was the location of the picture. No author name, no purpose for uploading, no licensing information, etc. How is a request lacking this information good enough to upload? Sakuura Cartelet Talk 21:33, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
Help, i dont know how to use the talk page, sorry. Not only did my original photo get deleted, which i spent two hours in teh chat rooms, but now you deleted a public image that is able to be used by italian copyright laws.

Cindy Fahnestock Schafer, iramency thanks you can google the whois for my site to prove it's true. I don't know what else to do. I will try to upload yet another photo but you guys just keep on deleting them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iramency ( talk • contribs) 02:37, April 2, 2017 (UTC)
If you want to use a photo I recommend going through the consent verification process. Please note that only the copyright holder of an image can release a photo to us. The copyright holder is the photographer of the image unless the rights have been transferred by legal action or contract. If you want to use a photo the copyright holder needs to verify that they are agreeing to release it under a license that we can use. Please see WP:CONSENT for instructions and a legal release form that must be sent into our volunteer response team verifying that the image has been released under a proper license. If you continue to upload images that do not follow these rules you will be committing repeated copyright infringement and your editing privileges will be revoked.
As a side note, your editing of the page Mauro Merlino is in violation of our conflict of interest guideline and our Terms of Use as you have not disclosed that you have a financial interest in the content of that page. Please read the financial interest link regarding paid disclosure and follow the instructions. This is not negotiable and must be done. If you have questions please don't hesitate to ask. -- Majora ( talk) 02:48, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
Hi there,
Thanks for approving the upload of our Ministry of Sound logo which I requested and can be found here: http://club.ministryofsound.com/media/1542/mos-lockup-thick-hrz-black.png
There's an issue with how the logos are being displayed on the wikipedia page. The logos should be displayed exactly like the image above, in side-by-side format. Underneath we can enter the text: 'The original logo on the left is used for heritage products, events, and recordings. The new logo on the right is used for club and related activity.' Are you able to update this for us so it's the side-by-side image?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Barney — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barney Blackhurst ( talk • contribs) 09:05, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
There are two options here. It seems like you are the administrator of the Ministry of Sound site in some way. You were able to reupload the logos in a vertical format and post it to the club's website. The easiest way would be to put these images on a subpage of the site with a clear notice that says "These images are released under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license" somewhere on the page. That was the license you chose when uploading the images but you can pick any free license you want. Then all you (or I) would have to do is change the source parameter on the file information page to a link to that page. The other way would be for you to file a consent release form with our volunteer response team. The form can be found here: c:COM:ET
Please let me know what you are planning to do and I would be happy to assist you if you have any questions about this. -- Majora ( talk) 22:51, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
If I put source name or link on each picture, would the pictures not be deleted then? These pictures are important to educate people about my culture. I do not have any bad intention. Until the owners of the pictures themselves deleted it, then that is more acceptable for me. I found all of the pictures from Google Image. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lexarih ( talk • contribs) 08:25, April 7, 2017 (UTC)
Hi Majora. I'm wondering if you can help me sort out File:Gambia Football Federation (association football federation) logo.png. It looks like the file was originally uploaded as public domain. Someone else, however, updated the logo as a non-free version instead of simply uploading a new file. this is exactly the kind of thing I was referring to in Wikipedia:Media copyright questions/Archive/2017/April#New logo: Upload as a new version of the old image or as a separate image? and the problems it can create. Any suggestions on how to resolve this? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 03:01, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
In this case though, it might just be easier for the reviewing admin to actually delete the old file. Not rev'del, selectively delete. The old image would have been PROD'ed or FFD anyways as an unused logo and that would keep the history in tact while still solving the issue. -- Majora ( talk) 03:11, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
I came across File:'The Rabbi's Concert' by Fred A. Precht.jpg when checking on some other images and noticed that it had been previously discussed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2016 July 27#File:'The Rabbi's Concert' by Fred A. Precht.jpg. Would it be possible to reopen this discussion and relist it so that it's non-free use can be further discussed, or should a new discussion be started? Generally, non-free images of works of art such as this are considered OK as the primary means of identification in a stand-alone article about the piece itself, but a much stronger justification is required in other articles. There is no sourced discussion of this painting anywhere to be found in Fred A. Precht (the painting is not even mentioned by name) so it's not clear how the context required by WP:NFCC#8 is being provided. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 04:48, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
Hello Majora, I've made the non-free use justifications for this file under the dispute template. There's also a more detailed explanation on the file's talk page. Blue Riband► 22:35, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for your help, Majora, with editing the Great Southern Grammar page. I do work at the institution, but another colleague was incorrectly editing the page anonymously. I've added some new edits, used appropriate references, and will ensure impartial writing. Thanks again for your help, and I'll ask if I have any more questions. Ingenious27 ( talk) 04:06, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
The material you have added has been sourced, and for that I thank you. Just be aware of the need to remain neutral when writing content here. And back everything up with sources. If you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to let me know. -- Majora ( talk) 04:14, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
As for uploading images, you do not have the proper rights to do that yet. Your account needs to be autoconfirmed for that. However, you can always make requests at WP:FFU like you did for the logo. I patrol that page and I usually answer pretty quickly. Please note that fair use images are bound by our non-free use policy and are highly restricted here. You can't just upload any image you want under fair use. Logos are easier since they aren't usually replaceable by free media but most other things don't qualify. What did you have in mind that you wanted to upload? -- Majora ( talk) 20:39, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi Majora. Do you think File:VCU Rams Old Wordmark.png is simple enough to convert to {{ PD-logo}}? If not, then its non-free use needs to be evaluated . It can't beused in the draft namespace per NFCC#9, and probaly can only be justisfied for use in one season article (ideally the one for the season in which the logo was first used). On the other hand, it wouldn't need to worry about WP:NFCCP if PD and could also be tagged for a move to Commons. The one possible obstacle to conversion might be sourcing it because it appears to have been superceded by a new wordmark according to the source link provided. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 04:34, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
Technically there are software copyrights for computer code but I'm not aware of any case law that would guide us on the .SVG conversation of non-free material. It doesn't apply for this case but it is certainly an interesting, albeit complex, area of copyright law that I'm not familiar with. -- Majora ( talk) 02:04, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi Majora. Was wondering if you'd mind taking a look at File:RajKrishna Kapoor (1946).jpg and checking its licensing? It's also being flagged as non-free, most likely because of the {{ PD-India}} tag added to it. If this is non-free (or partially non-free), then it probably needs a non-free use rationale for Raj Kapoor and should also be removed from the sandbox. Furthermore, I'm not sure a non-free use rationale can be written for Raj Kapoor#Personal life. Although the image is "nice", I don't think there's really much justification for this particular non-free use. On the other hand, none of the this matters if this can be converted to "full-PD". -- Marchjuly ( talk) 05:04, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

(Cross-posted to 2 other editors who edited the file talk page) Hi, I'm a little unclear on the exact procedure that's going on here and what to do next. An editor tagged the article for deletion, and there was a bit of back-and-forth, with an editor saying (in an edit summary) "You must leave the di template in place until decided upon by an admin" (emphasis added).
This sounds like a speedy-delete situation where one person decides the issue and that doesn't seem right to me. I want a full-dress discussion at Wikipedia:Files for discussion or wherever and let's get consensus to delete the image, if it is going to be deleted. If it was a contested-speedy-delete another editor could just remove the deletion tag (one did, but it was reverted). Not sure of the procedure here so I don't want to jump in myself, but could whomever is responsible and knowledgeable move this over to where it goes? Wikipedia:Files for discussion I guess, or of not there let's have WP:MFD or whatever applies. Herostratus ( talk) 15:38, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi Majora. Would you mind watching Lebanon men's national ball hockey team? It's another NFCC#10c matter and the editor wanting to use the file seems pretty unfamiliar with non-free content use. I've tried to explain things on my user talk and don't want to bite anyone, but from the look of this editor's user talk page they seem to misunderstand quite a bit about Wikipedia. Anyway, any suggestions you might have in resolving this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 00:49, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

Majora, hello how are you? You gave consensus as the sole reason for reverting my edit. I almost never revert another edit. Consensus is supposed to work by editing and re-editing. That's how you improve an article. Reverts are just a way of saying I don't like a particular topic or editor. Also it says on WP: consensus that lead summaries should include criticisms as well. That's all I was doing was trying to improve an article in good faith. Here is a good example for you: Foxnews. There is a criticisms paragraph in the lead. No one asked for "permission" to put it there. It just appeared recently and has been edited and re-edited many times always with reliable sources. Aceruss ( talk) 05:16, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
As for your actual edit there was some problems with the references. The New York Times article does not verify the content. It does not say that CNN is bias or that there is public skepticism. The Washington Post article is from their blog section. Blogs aren't considered reliable. And I'm not even going to touch The Blaze. Just like I wouldn't trust what MSNBC says about Fox News.
The second part of your edit could also fit in the main controversies article. The main article is for major things regarding the network. If they lose the court battle that could be discussed but people and organizations get sued all the time. Being sued is not a major incident. -- Majora ( talk) 20:47, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello Majora as you say there is plenty of criticisms of CNN in the article itself. This should be summarized in the lead. WHY summarize criticisms in lead of Fox news AND NOT CNN? Also your first revert was made a mere 25 minutes after my post, hardly enough time for you to read all my sources articles, and that's assuming you came upon my edit just when I posted it. This is why I said you reverted because you didn't like it. Also the public skepticism was mentioned in the Yahoo-Newsweek piece. Let's not argue let's work together.

Hi Majora, thanks for bringing this to my attention - I have the written permission of the photographer who took this picture to use it on Wikipedia.

Hi there! I've been looking around at articles for digital media companies and saw that you've previously contributed to the articles for CNN and Vox, so I wanted to see if you'd be interested to look at an edit request for Uproxx Media Group (formerly Woven Digital), which owns sites including Uproxx and BroBible. On behalf of the company, I've written a new draft to improve the article and in my edit request, I've also proposed moving the article to the company's new name, Uproxx Media Group. I have a conflict of interest, so I'm looking for neutral editors to review the draft and discuss the name change suggestion. Would you be able to help?

Hi Majora! Thanks for the feedback on the file. Looks like it has the correct license as far as I can tell?

Hi, i respect your participation and eventual withdrawal of the AFD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Notre Dame residence halls. Hey, i do think there is too much coverage of the topic. Some editing in the main article would be justified, e.g. to establish in the lede that some of them are more note-worthy than others, and then to chip away at the coverage of the less-worthy ones. I'm not adequately motivated, though. I'd be slightly more motivated to help edit at the "common outcomes" guidance. Hmm, that would probably require consulting some of the past AFDs about dormitories / residence halls. I wonder if it's easy to search through past AFDs. Anyhow, i just want to sympathize that you did have a legitimate concern, which the AFD doesn't resolve. Hope you keep up your good participation in Wikipedia. cheers, -- do ncr am 17:54, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Now, down to business. I understand that our copyright policies are confusing and we ask a lot and for that I am sorry. For legal reasons we have to follow strict policies. "For use on Wikipedia" type releases are not acceptable. That statement on Facebook means nothing, legally speaking, so we can't use it. You must follow the instructions that I put on your talk page and have the copyright holder fill out the legal release form and send it into our OTRS team. If you need assistance doing that please let me know. But beyond that, you must follow the instructions or the image will be deleted. -- Majora ( talk) 03:06, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
Let's try to work this out together.
You and others have reverted several times relevant, accurate and sourced information that I've added to the Vox (website) page. The only reason given for the reversion that was provided was by another user which cited "unreliable sources", of which I have since addressed in the most recent attempts of reversion.
Why are the edits I've made just? Three reasons: relevance, precedent and primary-sourced. First, relevance: at a time of unprecedented scrutiny on all media from across the political spectrum, Wikipedia regularly updates its pages and elevates information relevant to modern times. Several polls (and I can send you links) indicate historic levels of distrust among the public of the press. Second, precedent: the Wikipedia pages of several digital publications known to have liberal and conservative leanings and biases have that pre-existing context on their pages for transparency (Slate, Breitbart, The Weekly Standard, The Huffington Post, The National Review, Mother Jones, Salon, etc.), Vox who approaches their editorial decision-making from a skewed perspective no less apparent than the Huffington Post or The National Review ought to be held to the same standards. Third, primary-sourced. Ezra Klein, the editor of Vox, is a registered Democrat who prominently commentated on Democratic politics, garnered a reputation as a liberal wonk at The Washington Post, and directly stated in the source I provided that the audience for Vox skews to the left.
I'm looking forward to reading recommendations you have to include this important and relevant additional context to the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rs24 ( talk • contribs) 03:27, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

All photos used on this page are from the same Flickr photostream here. The "About" section of this photostream says the following:
"After requests by followers and media outlets, this selection of images have been released for use under the attribution/non-commercial creative commons license."
I'm new to Wikipedia so please let me know if I'm missing something obvious, but I don't understand why you have labelled these photos copyright violations when the artist himself has said they can be used under a CC license.
Could you explain your reasoning here? Thanks.

The information is dated and needs to be resorted and organized, especially the discography. I am not being compensated by Johnson, but I have written dozens of articles on him and have reached out to him regarding inspiration and sources. Any help you can provide me I would appreciate.
This is the new Wiki Information I have written:

Jeff Johnson (born 1956) is a recording artist, composer and producer who has released numerous solo and collaborative recordings on his own Ark Records / ArkMusic label since it’s establishment in 1977. He also creates and leads Christian contemplative worship featuring music, readings from the Psalms and silent prayer called the Selah Service. Originally from the Port-land, Oregon area, he currently resides in the San Juan Islands in the state of Washington, Unit-ed States. Vocal recordings Johnson’s early vocal recordings were stylistically progressive rock. The lyrics were inspired by a diverse group of authors, artists and historical figures including CS Lewis, Charles Williams, George MacDonald, Blaise Pascal, Francis Schaeffer, Tom Stoppard, William Shakespeare, Auguste Rodin, Paul Gaugin, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Ludwig II of Bavaria. His more recent vocal works are more liturgical in theme and include words from the Biblical Psalms as well as prayers by early Irish saints Columba and Patrick as well as Teresa of Ávila and Francis of Assisi. Instrumental recordings Johnson’s instrumental releases cover a broad spectrum of Celtic, New Age, Jazz and World music genres. His collaborations with Irish flutist, Brian Dunning, include music inspired by the stories of Ste-phen R. Lawhead as well as a series of Celtic Christmas releases which were licensed by Wind-ham Hill for that label’s Winter Solstice and Celtic Christmas compilations. He also collaborated on several releases with Portland, Oregon bassist, David Friesen and addi-tional releases with world- renowned guitarist, Phil Keaggy. Related recordings Johnson’s recordings have been licensed and featured on numerous commercials, compilations, spoken word and movie soundtracks including the Martin Scorsese film, “Gangs of New York,” Ruth Bell Graham’s “A Quiet Knowing,” the Hearts of Space “Celtic Twilight” and Windham Hill “Winter Solstice” and “Celtic Christmas” series, Eckhart Tolle’s “Music to Quiet the Mind,” Angela Elwell Hunt’s “The Tale of Three Trees,” Keith Patman’s “Centerpoint: Poetry & Music for Christmas and Scott Cairn’s “Parable.” Discography If I Do Not Remember (2016) Jeff Johnson, Brian Dunning & Wendy Goodwin Jonathan’s Lullaby (2016) Jeff Johnson Home Again – Single (2015) Jeff Johnson WinterSky Live EP (2015) Jeff Johnson, Phil Keaggy, Brian Dunning & Wendy Goodwin Broken, Gazing (2014) Jeff Johnson (featuring Wendy Goodwin) Parable (2014) Poetry & readings by Scott Cairns Music by Jeff Johnson & Roy Salmond WaterSky (2012) Jeff Johnson & Phil Keaggy Two Songs For Holy Week EP (2015) Jeff Johnson Winterfold (2013) Jeff Johnson, Brian Dunning & Wendy Goodwin Antiphon (2011) Coram Deo Ensemble – Jeff Johnson, Janet Chvatal, Brian Dunning, Wendy Goodwin & Marc Gremm Under The Wonder Sky (2010) Jeff Johnson, Brian Dunning & Wendy Goodwin Frio Suite (2009) Jeff Johnson & Phil Keaggy Journey Prayers (2009) Jeff Johnson Selah Audio Meditations – Vol. 3 / The Way Of The Cross (2009) Featuring readings by Jeff Johnson with music from various ArkMusic recordings.

Hi Majora. Do you think File:USA national junior hockey team uiform.jpg needs to be non-free. I guess it's tecnically a derivative of File:USA national hockey team jerseys - 2014 Winter Olympics.png so maybe it's eligible for it's own copyright. However, at the same time, I'm also wondering if the new logo on the non-free file might be considered to be a type of c:COM:DM in this particular case since it represents only a small part of the total image, which would mean that even a derivative would not be protected by copyright. Of course everything I just posted is based upon the assumption that the licensing of the Commons file is correct; if that file needs to go, then this would also need to go as well or a better source would need to be found, right? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 08:52, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi Majora. I'm wondering about the licensing of this file. It was originally licensed as "cc-by-4.0" which seemed wrong, so I tagged the file for speedy deletion. It was subsequently converted to "PD-textlogo" by a Commons admin. This is something I thought might be possible, but seemed unlikely given that the country of origin is the UK and c:COM:TOO#United Kingdom is fairly low compared to some other countries. I discussed things with the Commons admin who did the conversion, and starting a DR was suggested. I can do that, but before I do, I just wanted another opinion.

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

Hello, I see you nominated for deletion again that map of the Iberian climates made by AEMET, it is the only trustworthy map to show the climates of these countries, as all of the others are just bad done computer estimations.
First I uploaded that map and you proposed it for deletion and it got deleted, then I didn't upload it no more as I understood it won't last. After that, some other users did the same and from time to time it seems you check the page Climate of Spain to see if it's there. Can I ask why this fixation? Where did you read exactly on the AEMET website or at the copyright page of that guide, that it's not allowed to use if it's not for commercial purposes? As far as I know, Wikipedia is not meant for commercial purposes, and it seems they allow to use the map as long as someone says who made it, and as long no one deletes their logo.
Btw I will also reply on the deletion page (probably it won't be useful for nothing) and I also kindly ask you to not to delete it from the page Climate of Spain until it gets deleted. Fair deal? Thanks. -- TechnicianGB ( talk) 01:53, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
Ok, now I understood it, thanks for the fast and resumed reply. So if I do a similar map or if someone else does, me or he will be able to upload it here since it's free to use? I would create a map for this topic based on the official guide, but since I have no time I can't do it at the moment. Anyways, I wrote a good part of the description of the page Climate of Spain based on the official climate guide, so at least it gives a more realistic info and leds to a bigger comprehension of the climate of Spain. Regards! -- TechnicianGB ( talk) 02:05, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi, Majora.
I've noticed that you are an AfC reviewer but don't yet have the
New Page Reviewer flag. Would you please consider heading over to
PERM and requesting it? (check the flag requirements
HERE)
As part of a larger plan to increase cooperation between New Page Patrol and Articles for creation, we are trying to get as many of the active AfC reviewers as possible under the NPR user flag (
per this discussion). Unlike the AfC request list, the NPR flag carries no obligation to review new articles, so I'm not asking you to help out at New Page Patrol if you don't want to, just to request the flag.
Of course, if it is something you would be interested in, you can have a look at
the NPP tutorial. Please mention that you are an active AfC reviewer in your application.
Cheers and thanks for helping out at AfC, —

Several photos were nominated for deletion and, before any discussion or reply could take place, were removed from the page just 10 minutes after being nominated. If I read the timestamps correctly, they were then deleted from Wikipedia one minute after that. There was no time to reply, and the "Contest this deletion" button must have disappeared along with the files.
The site from which all images were taken has a clear provision for non-commercial use, stating that images "...may be reproduced, in part or in whole and by any means, without charge or further permission from the Government of Canada, or the provincial or territorial government counterparts." Important notices, Non-commercial use, Historicplaces.ca It asks that the name of the website be identified, which was done in the source entry. If there is any issue with the license selected, feel free to suggest one which might be a better fit.
I have posted a similar message under just one of the photos in question, and in a discussion about another one. If I need to post the same message on each photo's page, I can, but it may be redundant. Yoho2001 ( talk) 07:19, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi Majora! I hope all is well with you! I'm a new user here on Wikipedia, and a new editor. I have recently created three separate pages relating to the singer Jessie J's upcoming album release and her previous two singles. I have sent in a request to have the album cover and the covert art for the two singles uploaded, and I was hoping that you could take a minute to go over them and hopefully approve them if you deem them acceptable. This would be greatly appreciated, and it would help me out a whole lot in completing these articles! Much thanks in advance if you choose to do so! Here's the link to the three requests (They are listed one after another): /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Files_for_upload#Jessie_J_-_Not_My_Ex.jpg

Hi Majora. First off, congratulations on being recognized for your contributions to Wikipedia as "Editor of the Week". Now, I am wondering whether this really needs to be non-free or can be converted to {{ PD-logo}}. Most wordmarks I've come across tend to be considered too simple to me eligible for copyright protection and my hunch is that this was just uploaded as non-free just out of caution. Anyway, if it does need to be non-free for some reason, then I don't see how the way it's currently being used can be justified per WP:NFCCP. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 06:20, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi Majora. I'm wondering what you think about this file's licensing? The non-free file which was being used in Vodafone was probably deleted per WP:F5 because people kept replacing it with files they uploaded to Commons. If this is OK locally as {{ PD-ineligible-USonly}}, then that would at least mean it could be added to all the local Vodafone articles. I'm pinging @ Explicit: because he was the admin who deleted the non-free. For some reason, nobody ever converted the non-free to this license, but I'm not sure if that was just because nobody got around to doing so or because the consensus was that it should remain non-free. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 11:46, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
Both files have now been deleted. I wrote the following text before the deletion happened.
The file at File:NHDOL Franklin Pierce University Report.pdf is not corrupt or empty. I checked it before removing your speedy tag. Click on the link and you will see that the file at https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/39/NHDOL_Franklin_Pierce_University_Report.pdf is a valid PDF. I do not know why the file page gives its size at 0 x 0, but perhaps the scanner on which it was created did not implement the PDF specification completely.
I acknowledge the copyright issue, but as with a traffic ticket or a court filing, the material could probably have been used as fair use. PDF is probably the most appropriate format for a multi-page document. Eastmain ( talk • contribs) 19:44, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

I didn't participate in that discussion I linked above. However, I have thought for a very long time that there needs to be a better way to reduce the WP:FFD backlog. I've been stewing up in my head an idea for a new WP:CSD for files that could apply to files that would obviously be deleted per a WP:FFD discussion, but would require a 7-day wait period before the file can be deleted. The CSD would kind of be like a WP:PROD for files and could apply to files with no encyclopedia use, etc. However, since we already have several CSD that apply to fair-use files, this idea would only apply to files that are claimed to be released through a free license. In my experiences on FFD (including starting the proposal that resulted in a successful merge of WP:NFCR into FFD), I've noticed that most of the files that are immediately deleted are those that have the aforementioned issues (free, no encyclopedic value.) Any thoughts on this? Steel1943 ( talk) 19:21, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

It only crossed my mind today, but in order to de-root KurdoKardir's edits, as there are so many that it's hard to keep track of them, you should keep a lookout for the term "Karzan Kardozi", which KurdoKardir has a long history of trying to introduce into pages everywhere. I removed some mentions of this individual today, though they were from edits in mid to late 2016. Just, a word of advice as you remain vigilant over their roundabout methods of trying to reintroduce their self-promotion. DARTHBOTTO talk• cont 01:56, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Hey, this is a new ebook published by Storymirror publication. I have also added the link from Storymirror website. Please let me know if still it doesn't qualifies to be added to wikipedia.
Since the book was just published, I would recommend waiting a little bit. If it gains some reviews from mainstream sources (as mentioned in my comment on the draft) you can use those reviews to build a start of an article. All you would do is summarize them in your own words (don't copy and paste them). So at this point in time I would say wait and see. It is probable that the book would merit an article sometime in the future. Just not right now. -- Majora ( talk) 04:42, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I saw your discussion at File talk:Grace Akinlemibola.jpg. This is not the first time I've seen new users make the Facebook ToS argument for why media is released under a free license. To someone new not knowing anything more than "Wikipedia requires anyone to be able to use the image for any purpose", it would seem to be acceptable. Perhaps you or someone who knows the detailed reasoning behind it should write an essay/page explaining the issue with it, so those of us who patrol files have an explanation to give other than "that's not how it works". — Train2104 ( t • c) 06:20, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
Now that that is out of the way, I'll try to put together a project page explaining this but it will be easier to just do it here first. Whenever this situation arises it is generally a result of one of three errors on the part of the uploader.
So, lets take a look at the actual, total, passage from the Facebook ToS that is in play here. From https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms:
For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
"But wait!" an uploader might say. That clause says that that license is subject to "your privacy and application settings". This was brought up in this situation by also mentioning another clause further down the page that states, "When you publish content or information using the Public setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Facebook, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture)." This is what I meant by cherry picking. If you only took that clause you could reasonably guess that images posted publicly means the image is in the public domain. But now we circle back to one of the cornerstones of copyright law mentioned in #1 above. That is simply not how copyright law works.
So does Facebook's ToS make some changes to the copyright of images uploaded to their site? Yes they do. But only so far as allowing Facebook to use those images how Facebook wants. It does not void copyright, it does not change the original copyright license to public domain or even creative commons. All protections are still intact for additional use by other parties. Claiming otherwise is simply a misconception with copyright law. -- Majora ( talk) 21:07, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

If you want to use a photo I recommend going through the consent verification process. Please note that only the copyright holder of an image can release a photo to us. The copyright holder is the photographer of the image unless the rights have been transferred by legal action or contract. If you want to use a photo the copyright holder needs to verify that they are agreeing to release it under a license that we can use. Please see WP:CONSENT for instructions and a legal release form that must be sent into our volunteer response team verifying that the image has been released under a proper license. If you continue to upload images that do not follow these rules you will be committing repeated copyright infringement and your editing privileges will be revoked.
As a side note, your editing of the page Mauro Merlino is in violation of our conflict of interest guideline and our Terms of Use as you have not disclosed that you have a financial interest in the content of that page. Please read the financial interest link regarding paid disclosure and follow the instructions. This is not negotiable and must be done. If you have questions please don't hesitate to ask. -- Majora ( talk) 02:48, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
Hi there,
Thanks for approving the upload of our Ministry of Sound logo which I requested and can be found here: http://club.ministryofsound.com/media/1542/mos-lockup-thick-hrz-black.png
There's an issue with how the logos are being displayed on the wikipedia page. The logos should be displayed exactly like the image above, in side-by-side format. Underneath we can enter the text: 'The original logo on the left is used for heritage products, events, and recordings. The new logo on the right is used for club and related activity.' Are you able to update this for us so it's the side-by-side image?
Any help would be much appreciated.

There are two options here. It seems like you are the administrator of the Ministry of Sound site in some way. You were able to reupload the logos in a vertical format and post it to the club's website. The easiest way would be to put these images on a subpage of the site with a clear notice that says "These images are released under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license" somewhere on the page. That was the license you chose when uploading the images but you can pick any free license you want. Then all you (or I) would have to do is change the source parameter on the file information page to a link to that page. The other way would be for you to file a consent release form with our volunteer response team. The form can be found here: c:COM:ET
Please let me know what you are planning to do and I would be happy to assist you if you have any questions about this. -- Majora ( talk) 22:51, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi Majora. I'm wondering if you can help me sort out File:Gambia Football Federation (association football federation) logo.png. It looks like the file was originally uploaded as public domain. Someone else, however, updated the logo as a non-free version instead of simply uploading a new file. this is exactly the kind of thing I was referring to in Wikipedia:Media copyright questions/Archive/2017/April#New logo: Upload as a new version of the old image or as a separate image? and the problems it can create. Any suggestions on how to resolve this? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 03:01, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
In this case though, it might just be easier for the reviewing admin to actually delete the old file. Not rev'del, selectively delete. The old image would have been PROD'ed or FFD anyways as an unused logo and that would keep the history in tact while still solving the issue. -- Majora ( talk) 03:11, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
I came across File:'The Rabbi's Concert' by Fred A. Precht.jpg when checking on some other images and noticed that it had been previously discussed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2016 July 27#File:'The Rabbi's Concert' by Fred A. Precht.jpg. Would it be possible to reopen this discussion and relist it so that it's non-free use can be further discussed, or should a new discussion be started? Generally, non-free images of works of art such as this are considered OK as the primary means of identification in a stand-alone article about the piece itself, but a much stronger justification is required in other articles. There is no sourced discussion of this painting anywhere to be found in Fred A. Precht (the painting is not even mentioned by name) so it's not clear how the context required by WP:NFCC#8 is being provided. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 04:48, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

As for uploading images, you do not have the proper rights to do that yet. Your account needs to be autoconfirmed for that. However, you can always make requests at WP:FFU like you did for the logo. I patrol that page and I usually answer pretty quickly. Please note that fair use images are bound by our non-free use policy and are highly restricted here. You can't just upload any image you want under fair use. Logos are easier since they aren't usually replaceable by free media but most other things don't qualify.

Hi Majora. Do you think File:VCU Rams Old Wordmark.png is simple enough to convert to {{ PD-logo}}? If not, then its non-free use needs to be evaluated . It can't beused in the draft namespace per NFCC#9, and probaly can only be justisfied for use in one season article (ideally the one for the season in which the logo was first used). On the other hand, it wouldn't need to worry about WP:NFCCP if PD and could also be tagged for a move to Commons. The one possible obstacle to conversion might be sourcing it because it appears to have been superceded by a new wordmark according to the source link provided. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 04:34, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
Technically there are software copyrights for computer code but I'm not aware of any case law that would guide us on the .SVG conversation of non-free material. It doesn't apply for this case but it is certainly an interesting, albeit complex, area of copyright law that I'm not familiar with. -- Majora ( talk) 02:04, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi Majora. Was wondering if you'd mind taking a look at File:RajKrishna Kapoor (1946).jpg and checking its licensing? It's also being flagged as non-free, most likely because of the {{ PD-India}} tag added to it. If this is non-free (or partially non-free), then it probably needs a non-free use rationale for Raj Kapoor and should also be removed from the sandbox. Furthermore, I'm not sure a non-free use rationale can be written for Raj Kapoor#Personal life. Although the image is "nice", I don't think there's really much justification for this particular non-free use. On the other hand, none of the this matters if this can be converted to "full-PD". -- Marchjuly ( talk) 05:04, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Eddie Eagle cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 17:18, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
(Cross-posted to 2 other editors who edited the file talk page) Hi, I'm a little unclear on the exact procedure that's going on here and what to do next. An editor tagged the article for deletion, and there was a bit of back-and-forth, with an editor saying (in an edit summary) "You must leave the di template in place until decided upon by an admin" (emphasis added).
This sounds like a speedy-delete situation where one person decides the issue and that doesn't seem right to me. I want a full-dress discussion at Wikipedia:Files for discussion or wherever and let's get consensus to delete the image, if it is going to be deleted. If it was a contested-speedy-delete another editor could just remove the deletion tag (one did, but it was reverted). Not sure of the procedure here so I don't want to jump in myself, but could whomever is responsible and knowledgeable move this over to where it goes? Wikipedia:Files for discussion I guess, or of not there let's have WP:MFD or whatever applies. Herostratus ( talk) 15:38, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi Majora. Would you mind watching Lebanon men's national ball hockey team? It's another NFCC#10c matter and the editor wanting to use the file seems pretty unfamiliar with non-free content use. I've tried to explain things on my user talk and don't want to bite anyone, but from the look of this editor's user talk page they seem to misunderstand quite a bit about Wikipedia. Anyway, any suggestions you might have in resolving this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 00:49, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

Majora, hello how are you? You gave consensus as the sole reason for reverting my edit. I almost never revert another edit. Consensus is supposed to work by editing and re-editing. That's how you improve an article. Reverts are just a way of saying I don't like a particular topic or editor. Also it says on WP: consensus that lead summaries should include criticisms as well. That's all I was doing was trying to improve an article in good faith. Here is a good example for you: Foxnews. There is a criticisms paragraph in the lead. No one asked for "permission" to put it there. It just appeared recently and has been edited and re-edited many times always with reliable sources. Aceruss ( talk) 05:16, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
As for your actual edit there was some problems with the references. The New York Times article does not verify the content. It does not say that CNN is bias or that there is public skepticism. The Washington Post article is from their blog section. Blogs aren't considered reliable. And I'm not even going to touch The Blaze. Just like I wouldn't trust what MSNBC says about Fox News.
The second part of your edit could also fit in the main controversies article. The main article is for major things regarding the network. If they lose the court battle that could be discussed but people and organizations get sued all the time. Being sued is not a major incident. -- Majora ( talk) 20:47, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello Majora as you say there is plenty of criticisms of CNN in the article itself. This should be summarized in the lead. WHY summarize criticisms in lead of Fox news AND NOT CNN? Also your first revert was made a mere 25 minutes after my post, hardly enough time for you to read all my sources articles, and that's assuming you came upon my edit just when I posted it. This is why I said you reverted because you didn't like it. Also the public skepticism was mentioned in the Yahoo-Newsweek piece. Let's not argue let's work together.

Hi there! I've been looking around at articles for digital media companies and saw that you've previously contributed to the articles for CNN and Vox, so I wanted to see if you'd be interested to look at an edit request for Uproxx Media Group (formerly Woven Digital), which owns sites including Uproxx and BroBible. On behalf of the company, I've written a new draft to improve the article and in my edit request, I've also proposed moving the article to the company's new name, Uproxx Media Group. I have a conflict of interest, so I'm looking for neutral editors to review the draft and discuss the name change suggestion. Would you be able to help?

Hi, i respect your participation and eventual withdrawal of the AFD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Notre Dame residence halls. Hey, i do think there is too much coverage of the topic. Some editing in the main article would be justified, e.g. to establish in the lede that some of them are more note-worthy than others, and then to chip away at the coverage of the less-worthy ones. I'm not adequately motivated, though. I'd be slightly more motivated to help edit at the "common outcomes" guidance. Hmm, that would probably require consulting some of the past AFDs about dormitories / residence halls. I wonder if it's easy to search through past AFDs. Anyhow, i just want to sympathize that you did have a legitimate concern, which the AFD doesn't resolve. Hope you keep up your good participation in Wikipedia. cheers, -- do ncr am 17:54, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Let's try to work this out together.
You and others have reverted several times relevant, accurate and sourced information that I've added to the Vox (website) page. The only reason given for the reversion that was provided was by another user which cited "unreliable sources", of which I have since addressed in the most recent attempts of reversion.
Why are the edits I've made just? Three reasons: relevance, precedent and primary-sourced. First, relevance: at a time of unprecedented scrutiny on all media from across the political spectrum, Wikipedia regularly updates its pages and elevates information relevant to modern times. Several polls (and I can send you links) indicate historic levels of distrust among the public of the press. Second, precedent: the Wikipedia pages of several digital publications known to have liberal and conservative leanings and biases have that pre-existing context on their pages for transparency (Slate, Breitbart, The Weekly Standard, The Huffington Post, The National Review, Mother Jones, Salon, etc.), Vox who approaches their editorial decision-making from a skewed perspective no less apparent than the Huffington Post or The National Review ought to be held to the same standards. Third, primary-sourced. Ezra Klein, the editor of Vox, is a registered Democrat who prominently commentated on Democratic politics, garnered a reputation as a liberal wonk at The Washington Post, and directly stated in the source I provided that the audience for Vox skews to the left.
I'm looking forward to reading recommendations you have to include this important and relevant additional context to the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rs24 ( talk • contribs) 03:27, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Jeff Johnson (born 1956) is a recording artist, composer and producer who has released numerous solo and collaborative recordings on his own Ark Records / ArkMusic label since it’s establishment in 1977. He also creates and leads Christian contemplative worship featuring music, readings from the Psalms and silent prayer called the Selah Service. Originally from the Port-land, Oregon area, he currently resides in the San Juan Islands in the state of Washington, Unit-ed States. Vocal recordings Johnson’s early vocal recordings were stylistically progressive rock. The lyrics were inspired by a diverse group of authors, artists and historical figures including CS Lewis, Charles Williams, George MacDonald, Blaise Pascal, Francis Schaeffer, Tom Stoppard, William Shakespeare, Auguste Rodin, Paul Gaugin, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Ludwig II of Bavaria. His more recent vocal works are more liturgical in theme and include words from the Biblical Psalms as well as prayers by early Irish saints Columba and Patrick as well as Teresa of Ávila and Francis of Assisi. Instrumental recordings Johnson’s instrumental releases cover a broad spectrum of Celtic, New Age, Jazz and World music genres. His collaborations with Irish flutist, Brian Dunning, include music inspired by the stories of Ste-phen R. Lawhead as well as a series of Celtic Christmas releases which were licensed by Wind-ham Hill for that label’s Winter Solstice and Celtic Christmas compilations. He also collaborated on several releases with Portland, Oregon bassist, David Friesen and addi-tional releases with world- renowned guitarist, Phil Keaggy. Related recordings Johnson’s recordings have been licensed and featured on numerous commercials, compilations, spoken word and movie soundtracks including the Martin Scorsese film, “Gangs of New York,” Ruth Bell Graham’s “A Quiet Knowing,” the Hearts of Space “Celtic Twilight” and Windham Hill “Winter Solstice” and “Celtic Christmas” series, Eckhart Tolle’s “Music to Quiet the Mind,” Angela Elwell Hunt’s “The Tale of Three Trees,” Keith Patman’s “Centerpoint: Poetry & Music for Christmas and Scott Cairn’s “Parable.” Discography If I Do Not Remember (2016) Jeff Johnson, Brian Dunning & Wendy Goodwin Jonathan’s Lullaby (2016) Jeff Johnson Home Again – Single (2015) Jeff Johnson WinterSky Live EP (2015) Jeff Johnson, Phil Keaggy, Brian Dunning & Wendy Goodwin Broken, Gazing (2014) Jeff Johnson (featuring Wendy Goodwin) Parable (2014) Poetry & readings by Scott Cairns Music by Jeff Johnson & Roy Salmond WaterSky (2012) Jeff Johnson & Phil Keaggy Two Songs For Holy Week EP (2015) Jeff Johnson Winterfold (2013) Jeff Johnson, Brian Dunning & Wendy Goodwin Antiphon (2011) Coram Deo Ensemble – Jeff Johnson, Janet Chvatal, Brian Dunning, Wendy Goodwin & Marc Gremm Under The Wonder Sky (2010) Jeff Johnson, Brian Dunning & Wendy Goodwin Frio Suite (2009) Jeff Johnson & Phil Keaggy Journey Prayers (2009) Jeff Johnson Selah Audio Meditations – Vol. 3 / The Way Of The Cross (2009) Featuring readings by Jeff Johnson with music from various ArkMusic recordings.

Does that make sense? If not let me know and I'd be happy to assist you further if you have any questions. -- Majora ( talk) 23:13, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you. I just wanted to ask: may I upload, only locally (eng wiki and not Commons), the following picture, with a CC BY-ND 2.0 licence? Thanks (link: https://www.flickr.com/photos/hoppegroup/14197378975/). Thanks, -- Conte di Cavour ( talk) 16:58, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
You were so helpful before. I have another image I would like to upload. I am the owner of the image - it is an 1890s(?) photo of an individual there is already an article about. I have scanned it. What are my options to upload it regarding method and copyright options? Thanks again. Reaper7 ( talk) 17:32, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi Majora, I am trying to save this image. The image comes from this document: https://www.nsa.gov/about/cryptologic-heritage/historical-figures-publications/publications/wwii/assets/files/german_cipher.pdf Which is an NSA document. The person who provides this document and who controls it, is Rene S Stein, who is the NSA librarian He is the NSA and the owner of this document. He explicity gave me permission to use the images in the document in manner I manner I see fit. What is the exact problem with it. scope_creep ( talk) 07:50, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Majora. I just pinged you about another matter, but I'd like you're opinion on File:Vodafone.svg. In Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2016 December 7#File:Vodafone logo.png, bth you and Explicit commented that File:Vodafone logo.png was not below c:COM:TOO#united Kingdom. For reference, the Commons file has replaced the non-free in Vodafone and is also being added the infoboxes of various other Vodafone articles by Special:Contributions/186.179.100.137. If the Commons file is OK, then fine. If not, then the non-free will be deleted per WP:F5 when it probably shouldn't. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 22:12, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi, you declined the upload of another version for the RimWorld logo. It seems I did not make it clear where I got the image. You can download it from here: http://ludeon.com/downloads/logo.zip I gave a link to a drive document because that other link contains multiple other versions. This is from the official website. The link itself can be found in: https://ludeon.com/blog/faq/ which is the link I said cited the information on the license. 46.127.26.206 ( talk) 12:55, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

You recently deleted the files I uploaded and brought them to my attention on my talk page. I was wondering if you would be willing to help me find public domain images, or with ideas of how to get a file uploaded to a page for its image - properly? I'd appreciate your help.-- DisneyMetalhead ( talk) 05:23, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi Majora. Do you think File:USA national junior hockey team uiform.jpg needs to be non-free. I guess it's tecnically a derivative of File:USA national hockey team jerseys - 2014 Winter Olympics.png so maybe it's eligible for it's own copyright. However, at the same time, I'm also wondering if the new logo on the non-free file might be considered to be a type of c:COM:DM in this particular case since it represents only a small part of the total image, which would mean that even a derivative would not be protected by copyright. Of course everything I just posted is based upon the assumption that the licensing of the Commons file is correct; if that file needs to go, then this would also need to go as well or a better source would need to be found, right? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 08:52, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi Majora. Any ideas on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions/Archive/2018/February#File:TV5 (ABC5) Logo.png? The latest updated version is quite a bit different that the older version, so it may no longer need to be {{ Non-free logo}}. If that's the case, then Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2016 July 22#File:TV5 (ABC5) Logo.png may no longer be applicable as well. Finally, if this new version is PD, then maybe it would be best to re-upload as a new file and not as an update to an older non-free logo. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 16:41, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi Majora. I'm wondering about the licensing of this file. It was originally licensed as "cc-by-4.0" which seemed wrong, so I tagged the file for speedy deletion. It was subsequently converted to "PD-textlogo" by a Commons admin. This is something I thought might be possible, but seemed unlikely given that the country of origin is the UK and c:COM:TOO#United Kingdom is fairly low compared to some other countries. I discussed things with the Commons admin who did the conversion, and starting a DR was suggested. I can do that, but before I do, I just wanted another opinion. There's no point in DRing anything that is clearly PD. Any thoughts? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 06:15, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
Sorry sir, but I don’t understand what I did wrong with the picture of the F-4C. I said it wasn’t mine and I filled out all of the information and you tagged it. Could you please give me some consent as to why? ReeseMcClain ( talk) 00:40, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
I desperately want to edit the link in your proposal to this, but felt it wasn't appropriate to do so. It took me a while to work out what you were trying to demonstrate as a lot of recent editing activity had put your example onto another page. That could lose you support, so you might want to consider updating it. Regards from the UK, Nick Moyes ( talk) 11:21, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Congo – A Political Tragedy poster.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 ( talk) 22:38, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I see you nominated for deletion again that map of the Iberian climates made by AEMET, it is the only trustworthy map to show the climates of these countries, as all of the others are just bad done computer estimations.
First I uploaded that map and you proposed it for deletion and it got deleted, then I didn't upload it no more as I understood it won't last. After that, some other users did the same and from time to time it seems you check the page Climate of Spain to see if it's there. Can I ask why this fixation? Where did you read exactly on the AEMET website or at the copyright page of that guide, that it's not allowed to use if it's not for commercial purposes? As far as I know, Wikipedia is not meant for commercial purposes, and it seems they allow to use the map as long as someone says who made it, and as long no one deletes their logo.
Btw I will also reply on the deletion page (probably it won't be useful for nothing) and I also kindly ask you to not to delete it from the page Climate of Spain until it gets deleted. Fair deal? Thanks. -- TechnicianGB ( talk) 01:53, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
Ok, now I understood it, thanks for the fast and resumed reply. So if I do a similar map or if someone else does, me or he will be able to upload it here since it's free to use? I would create a map for this topic based on the official guide, but since I have no time I can't do it at the moment. Anyways, I wrote a good part of the description of the page Climate of Spain based on the official climate guide, so at least it gives a more realistic info and leds to a bigger comprehension of the climate of Spain. Regards! -- TechnicianGB ( talk) 02:05, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi, Majora.
I've noticed that you are an AfC reviewer but don't yet have the
New Page Reviewer flag. Would you please consider heading over to
PERM and requesting it? (check the flag requirements
HERE)
As part of a larger plan to increase cooperation between New Page Patrol and Articles for creation, we are trying to get as many of the active AfC reviewers as possible under the NPR user flag (
per this discussion). Unlike the AfC request list, the NPR flag carries no obligation to review new articles, so I'm not asking you to help out at New Page Patrol if you don't want to, just to request the flag.
Of course, if it is something you would be interested in, you can have a look at
the NPP tutorial. Please mention that you are an active AfC reviewer in your application.
Cheers and thanks for helping out at AfC, —

Several photos were nominated for deletion and, before any discussion or reply could take place, were removed from the page just 10 minutes after being nominated. If I read the timestamps correctly, they were then deleted from Wikipedia one minute after that. There was no time to reply, and the "Contest this deletion" button must have disappeared along with the files.
The site from which all images were taken has a clear provision for non-commercial use, stating that images "...may be reproduced, in part or in whole and by any means, without charge or further permission from the Government of Canada, or the provincial or territorial government counterparts." Important notices, Non-commercial use, Historicplaces.ca It asks that the name of the website be identified, which was done in the source entry. If there is any issue with the license selected, feel free to suggest one which might be a better fit.
I have posted a similar message under just one of the photos in question, and in a discussion about another one. If I need to post the same message on each photo's page, I can, but it may be redundant. Yoho2001 ( talk) 07:19, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
Reproduction of multiple copies of material on this site, in whole or in part, for the purposes of commercial redistribution is prohibited except with written permission.Wikipedia requires unrestricted commercial reuse licensing. There can be attribution requirements but requiring written permission for commercial reuse is not acceptable. In addition, Canada governmental photos are not automatically ok to use here like US federal photos would be. Even Crown Copyright has a term of 50 years from publication. -- Majora ( talk) 15:38, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi Majora! I hope all is well with you! I'm a new user here on Wikipedia, and a new editor. I have recently created three separate pages relating to the singer Jessie J's upcoming album release and her previous two singles. I have sent in a request to have the album cover and the covert art for the two singles uploaded, and I was hoping that you could take a minute to go over them and hopefully approve them if you deem them acceptable. This would be greatly appreciated, and it would help me out a whole lot in completing these articles! Much thanks in advance if you choose to do so! Here's the link to the three requests (They are listed one after another): /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Files_for_upload#Jessie_J_-_Not_My_Ex.jpg

Hi Majora. First off, congratulations on being recognized for your contributions to Wikipedia as "Editor of the Week". Now, I am wondering whether this really needs to be non-free or can be converted to {{ PD-logo}}. Most wordmarks I've come across tend to be considered too simple to me eligible for copyright protection and my hunch is that this was just uploaded as non-free just out of caution. Anyway, if it does need to be non-free for some reason, then I don't see how the way it's currently being used can be justified per WP:NFCCP. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 06:20, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi Majora. I'm wondering what you think about this file's licensing? The non-free file which was being used in Vodafone was probably deleted per WP:F5 because people kept replacing it with files they uploaded to Commons. If this is OK locally as {{ PD-ineligible-USonly}}, then that would at least mean it could be added to all the local Vodafone articles. I'm pinging @ Explicit: because he was the admin who deleted the non-free. For some reason, nobody ever converted the non-free to this license, but I'm not sure if that was just because nobody got around to doing so or because the consensus was that it should remain non-free. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 11:46, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
Both files have now been deleted. I wrote the following text before the deletion happened.
The file at File:NHDOL Franklin Pierce University Report.pdf is not corrupt or empty. I checked it before removing your speedy tag. Click on the link and you will see that the file at https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/39/NHDOL_Franklin_Pierce_University_Report.pdf is a valid PDF. I do not know why the file page gives its size at 0 x 0, but perhaps the scanner on which it was created did not implement the PDF specification completely.
I acknowledge the copyright issue, but as with a traffic ticket or a court filing, the material could probably have been used as fair use. PDF is probably the most appropriate format for a multi-page document. Eastmain ( talk • contribs) 19:44, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
