I was checking Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons reviewed by a human when I found File:Spyder logo.svg and some other logos. It seems that the http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ is mentioned on the page but does that apply to the logo? If I look at Spyder (software) it says License MIT. What do you think? -- MGA73 ( talk) 11:33, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
You seem to be an image expert. I contacted the uploader to let them know there is a problem with this image, but I don't have any specific advice. Do you know what the problem is? (When I click on it, I do not see the image, but I do if I click a second time.)

Yo man, I'm not understanding what's going on... I uploaded the covers for articles of songs what are notable. Like, are on Billboard charts... So why you warn deletions of the files? - SrGangsta ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:10, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
The creator of that file had been a family friend of the subject and is now deceased (please refer to the dates mentioned). The photograph was taken entirely on a personal basis. Please mention the procedures for obtaining copyright about such material when the creator is deceased and the next of kin are no longer in touch. Or kindly remove that picture from the "tagged to be deleted" list.

Sorry, you posted a very confusing thing about an image permission on my talk page. The artist uploaded the image herself. It is her image. She gave permission to upload it when we uploaded it. She is an artist. I just happened to be signed in at the time at her computer and was sitting next to her. Do you prefer that she reupload it when I am not signed in? She is 90 years old and if you actually need her to do something herself without me helping her you are going to need to explain to me how to do it since apparently the problem is that I was too involved the first time.

Have I done enough? Kittybrewster ☎ 11:15, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your help in getting this straightened out. I have sent the following letter to someone with access to the BOR website: http://www.murraystate.edu/boardofregents. Is that the appropriate thing to do?
The wiki entry is up at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantine_W._Curris There is a problem with the pic. I took it from the BOR website http://www.murraystate.edu/boardofregents
They need the pic to be released to wiki which I think means making it in the public domain. I thought the fact that it was on the MSU website meant that that had already happened.
Can you help me get the permission form filled out by someone from the BOR website? Permission form = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CONSENT Pyramid43 (talk) 05:34, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Sefan. Could you tzke a look at this please. I'm convinced that it cannot be the uploader's own work, and that as a a school logo it would be unfree and not acceptable on Commons, On Wikipedia it would need a FUR for what is fairly obviously a derivative work if not the original itself. I have no idea how to tag it for incorrect licencing or deletion (is there a Twinkle script for files?). Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 03:37, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Firstly, I did not create this file. Secondly, it is rubbish and I have always despised it. Thirdly, it is clearly not a "derivative work" as the WikiNewSpeak would describe it... unless an outline of a particular country, in this instance Wales, cane be described as "derivative" which surely any rational human being would reject.

1.Pictures of people still alive, groups still active, and buildings still standing; provided that taking a new free picture as a replacement (which is almost always considered possible) would serve the same encyclopedic purpose as the non-free image. This includes non-free promotional images.
Replacing an image of a military officers in Egypt is unlikely. Photographs of military officers are whether published by the Morale Affairs department which is a one in a life time portrait photograph (unless they're promoted) or taken by press under a permission by the Armed Forces. in case of the generals i uploaded their photos they are at the peak of their career and next step is retirement no further promotions.
thanks for notifying me, I'd like you to help me improve the tags and licences of the photos --

Mariah Carey ;s article Main Picture and two other pictures (Mariah Carey at Air Fund Concert) and at the (opening of Good Will hunting). and the reason why I added these two photos to Carey's article just to add some vision to her 2 - decade plus career article alongside the text for the readers NOT to FACE boredom from the long ARTICLE!

What about these images that I have uploaded? If a photo of two characters is unnecessary, are these other two unnecessary, as well?

The image of Chief Flying Hawk (Chief Flying Hawk, Buffalo Bill'd Wild West, Cast Card.jpg) is part of a set of 16 postcards sold by the American Museum of Natural History, N.Y. The cards are not dated, but likely late 20's or early 30's. The series was numbered "Post Card Series No. X", Indians of North America. The original photograph is Mathers Museum Wanamaker Gallery. Although the postcard is the same picture as the photograph, it does not show the pipe in Flying Hawk's hand and is cropped. The postcard is printed much lighter and shows more detail. I hope that this information is helpful. Richlevine00 ( talk) 20:51, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the warning. However, the only reason I uploaded this image was because I kicked it off Commons.

Hi,
I notice you reduced the resolution on a file I recently uploaded ( File:Live at Edu Screenshot.png). I think you've reduced the resolution far beyond anything reasonable/sensible - all that exists now is a vague yellow blob. I was wondering if you could re-upload it with a slightly higher resolution or if you'd be happy for me to? (I'm not too familiar with Wikipedia's policies on screenshots but I'm fairly sure the original image satisfied the guidlines found in Wikipedia:NFCC#3b? (Also reducing the resolution of screenshots renders text unreadable (or fugly at best) rendering the screenshots uselesss... anyway that's kind of irrelevant to this...))

The particular template you chose to place on my talk page was unnecessarily confrontational (for example: "blatant copyright infringement" and threatening a block from editing). There are other templates that are less, shall we say, threatening. The only real conclusion that I can come to is that you must think that I am a regular violator of copyrights. Sure, I have some previous tags on my talk page, but those were from when I started about two years ago, and they have since been remedied, and in my time here, I have learned the proper copyright procedures (I mostly upload album covers).
In any case, I would prefer that you avoid my talk page in the future. -- L1A1 FAL ( talk) 16:35, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

I'm puzzled at the proposed deletion for reason of copyright. Since I'm proceeding under fair use, asking the schools organization seems inappropriate or unnecessary. Their home page does not display a copyright notice, but I presume they have the copyright and all other intellectual property interests. I stated the best information I have. While the notice ( User talk:Nick Levinson#File copyright problem with File:Success Academy Charter Schools logo.png) discusses verifying the source, I just revisited the schools URL and it's still there. I guess that the fair use rationale is what you're specifically questioning. What is it that I should address? Thank you. Nick Levinson ( talk) 21:13, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

As I already clearly stated when uploading the images in the boxes provided, my gallery of which I am the owner), is the owner of the photographic images of the paintings, and the owner of the paintings, which I used in editing the entry on Beltran Masses. Because of the annoying questions that have arisen in the past when I have used images that belonged to me, I made this absolutely clear. Did you actually bother to read the messages I put in those boxes? Did you not read that I stated this very clearly? I have more or less given up correcting the vast quantities of false or inaccurate information on wikipedia because of the extra work this kind of complaint then leads to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GuyStairSainty ( talk • contribs) 18:30, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
Photos uploaded by me to the Beltran Masses entry.
As I stated when I did so, these photos and the paintings belong to me. The artist died in 1949. I can do what I like with these photos and I chose - I thought helpfully - to include them as they are famous examples of this artist's work in my expanded article on the artist.
These paintings are all right now in my London gallery, awaiting exhibition. GuyStairSainty ( talk) 18:40, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
The painter has been dead for 63 years. That means it could not be in copyright n the US. surely you are aware of ths if you are gong round censorng photos. but ven if ths was not the case, he had no issue and His estate passed to his widow. He had no heirs after his widow. She bequeathed the paintings she inherited to friends who divided it The catalogue and rights are controlled by the Comité Beltran-Masses, of which I am co-dirctor. But apart from that, if you knew copyright law you would understand better that copyright dies not exist if th creator has no heirs. Furthermore, Wikipedia has 100s of images of works by artists who ate very definitely still in copyright everywhere - Picasso beng just one. Yet you are not cutting these images. I suggest you consult somene who actually knows someething about the subject. Levy-Dhurmer, on the other hand, had no heirs and there is no copyright. But why should you know that?

Stefan, thank you for your help.
I have a question concerning a deletion. I followed your useful instructions and forwarded the emails to permissions-enwikimedia.org from the creator/owner of the photo within 2 days after receiving the email, well within the 7 day time limit.
[This message is about the info I received concerning the following notification.]
:Notification: tagging for deletion of. ( TW)"
Because I forwarded the emails (that gave specific permission to use the photo and stated public domain) to the correct address, as instructed, I don't understand why the photo was deleted.
What do you suggest that I now do so the photo appears on the page and not be deleted?
Should I upload the photo again and again send the letter of permission to the wiki permission email?
Or should I walk the owner of the photo through the process (which may be a challenge for them to learn) and have them send their own permission to put the photo into public domain?
Thanks again for your assistance.

Stefan,
I sent the email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. (This address here is copied directly from the actual sent message.) The address I sent the emails to, match what you state above.
(And yes, I made a typo in my question above. Sorry about that.)
My guess is that since the photo was deleted, it needs to be uploaded again, with the permissions sent again. Is that correct?
If I take the effort to upload the photo again and send the permissions letter again, how do we keep the photo from being deleted?
Thanks, Sbjohnson ( talk) 19:04, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

This is super helpful.
I'll email the copyright holder of the photo again and work on getting the photo added. I'll also make sure that the permission is resent, and insure that the {{

Hi Stefan. While I appreciate that you're tagging images as Nowcommons, I would appreciate more if you could transfer over any other version before tagging them. For example File:Tsarevitch Alexander later Alexander III 1865 by Sergei Levitsky.jpg; this image had a new version on English Wikipedia, and I will have to go through the work of transferring over the new version, then removing the duplicate upload log. This is adding an extraordinary amount of time to the work I'm doing, greatly adding to the likelihood that I just give up because of the tedium, and another administrator comes along and just flat out deletes the image without the improved versions. Thanks. Magog the Ogre ( t • c) 22:13, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
I used the image at my site, and uploaded it here. Somehow I must have filled out the Copywrite form incorrectly. I have sent an email from the address listed on the website's copywrite page. I hope this is sufficient to close this issue. Wikipedia really needs to go back over their copywrite policy and make it less complex than it is. You need to be a lawyer to understand it all. I have also tagged the file description with the proper OTRS tag.

Dear Stefan2,
I have a question. Lets take the following scenario as an example. Person A is a celebrity who is still alive. Person B takes his photo and put it in his website. Now person C, who is a Wikipedian, wants to use that photo in Wikipedia. So, person C asks person B for the permission to use the photo taken by him. Person B (the copyright-holder) have no objection with this.
Now, what procedure person C should follow in order to use that file in Wikipedia? Is there any kind of sample format of permission/agreement that the both party have to sign. How can we send the copy of the permission agreement paper to WikiMedia?

Hi Stefan
I uploaded the file File:UniversityOfNatal CoatOfArms.jpg earlier today and you flagged it with {{Bad JPEG}}, {{Opaque}}.
In order to removed confusion, I have changed the text describing the source of the image from "Copied from a degree certificate issued by the university" to "Scanned from a degree certificate issued by the university". Since it was scanned, it was a photographic reproduction - the word "copied" might have caused some confusion as copying can be done by hand.
Would you please removed the banners from this article as they are inappropriate.

Before slapping CSD templates on pictures, you should actually look at the history and see who uploaded it first. Your careless actions nearly resulted in the deletion of a file that I uploaded in 2004, with a statement that I created it, as "no source". This was pure laziness, as the original uploader and statement of creation can be found with ONE CLICK. God knows how many other pictures have been deleted due to this kind of action. pschemp | talk 03:13, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
Stefan, You have tagged 4 pictures of Ernest Pike for speedy deletion. The reason that there are four is because of a known issue with the uploader wizard which does not inform the user of a successful upload.
One of these pictures is required for a revised Ernest Pike article which I shall be releasing in the next 2 days. The following picture is currently being accessed in my sandbox: "Ernest Pike standing by a Sheraton gramophone.jpg". This picture needs to be kept please - its link is:- File:Ernest Pike standing by a Sheraton gramophone.jpg
The others can be deleted. I know that the names are similar and that it is confusing.
With regard to copyright license (if this is an issue) I have discussed this with Piotrus (senior editor) and he says that it should be licensed as commons:pd:-UK-Unknown. If I have not set this correctly (and I am relatively new to Wikipedia) I could use some help with how to do this.

You flagged this image for deletion an hour after I posted it, effective in one week's time. It may take me longer than that to figure this out. I've created several pages before but never dealt with images. The user page tutorials are making my brain freeze. I believe I have copyright info for this and five subsequent images, but it's hard to tell. Images are to accompany a new page I've created but not activated yet, plus one existing page with related content but currently no photos. Any help you could spare would be appreciated. 00:16, 25 October 2012 (UTC)Paulcullum00:16, 25 October 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulcullum ( talk • contribs)
All of those images that I have uploaded to Wikipedia have a valid copyright license and you can see that on the links provided under the "some rights reserved" on their respective Flickr pages.

Okay, my mistake, I thought they were all Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0.

Hello, I'm just trying to understand the reasoning of the tag you added to the 2012-13 OHL season page. Is it too many logos? I got the idea off of the German version of wikipedia where the person looking after the OHL season over there had logos beside the team names. I thought it looked good and identified the teams better for a casual hockey fan who might not know too much about junior hockey, however, they could be familiar with some of the logos. Thanks.

Hi there Stefan2. I note your request to delete several files that seem to be duplicated and your suggestion to delete those files with annotations. The non-annotated files were uploaded first by accident, more than design, but the annotated files relate to information on the page that the files are used on. I would not want the annotated files to be deleted amd am not aware that an image should not have a watermark. Currently the page that these images relates to is in my sandbox and it being edited by colleagues, or they are sending me edits for me to incorperate (not everyone wants to be a wikipedia editor). Please keep me updated with your thoughts. Regards Gurnard ( talk) 15:55, 25 October 2012 (UTC).
Hello Stefan2. Many thanks for your comments, but please can you point to a policy document that states that images cannot have annotations as I have not seen anything to that effect. Whether or not they can be read by screen readers is also a mute point I would have thought as the images also cannot be read by a screen reader. Users using a screen reader would get the caption, though. Furthermore there is no restriction in users using said images for other purposes however, you will note that some of these were not uploaded through the Commons are are linked to the specific page. If I was to upload a picture of a particular animal or plant I would like to include that specie's name and adding an annotation would not hinder this, nor restrict the pictures use, but ensure (in that case) that it was not mistakenly identified elsewhere. I do not yet consider this matter to be closed and would welcome wider comments on annotations. Regards Gurnard ( talk) 10:30, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi there. That's a page that has a lot of very useful content. Isn't it amazing that there is never time to get things quite right first time. Nevertheless, the contested images are uploaded as Fair Use not free. The originator of said images is now in Africa for a month and will not be able to make amendments while away to change copyright status of additional images I would upload. The watermarking or non-free (Fair Use) seems not to be a problem. What's your suggestion? Gurnard ( talk) 18:24, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

For the three images File:Gabbar singh cd cover.jpg, File:Rebel cd cover.jpg, File:Daruvu cd cover.jpg how can i add this : "The cover looks similar to the other image elsewhere in the article." Because all the opponent three "Film poster" versions in those particular article's were updated and deleted the old revisions. Still you have stated that "Still delete" in "Ffd". After this how is it possible to delete the above three images man. Because significant versions existed in those articles only and i have updated them and older revisions were deleted by admin also. And also Endukante premanta poster was also updated so significance problem gone there also. But a significant this version exists in somewhere wikipedia as per you here Where can i found this article. Please give that article name and i will add that articl'es reference in this "File:Endukante premanta cd cover.jpg". By this, this poster's problem will be solved. "File talk:Endukante premanta cd cover.jpg" will be deleted. I will accept this one. Remaining are all corrected. Raghusri ( talk) Raghusri 19:05, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi Stefan,
I'm a bit confused that you replaced the attached image in the discussion with "non-free image removed".
Please take note of two separate versions of the images. The differences in both images are in the name, with the second one having capslocked Start Screen instead of the first, which is just start screen. I uploaded File:Windows 8 Start Screen.png because I wanted the name to comply with Microsoft's guideline on trademark usage.
I feel that it is appropriate to replace back
File:Windows 8 Start Screen.png on the non-free content review page as this is the one which should be kept, as it complies with the low resolution version.
Also, please delete File:Windows 8 Start Screen.png as it contains a name which in my opinion does not agree with Microsoft's guideline for trademark use, and it also contains high-resolution versions of the image which is not compliant with fair-use on Wikipedia.
Please take note of the difference in names. Optakeover (Talk) 19:03, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

I have nominated this page for speedy delation since it is not verifiable and it appears to be a hoax. I noticed on the user talk page for Milkstracciacow that in October, you recommended a page with the same name for deletion. The current page shows that it was created December 7, 2012, so I believe that the page you commented on was deleted, and the current page is a re-creation by the same user, intended to get around the earlier deletion of the page. I note on Milkstracciacow's talk page at User talk:Milkastracciacow that this user has other speedy deletion notes, as well as an editing ban in August. I'm not sure how to start such a thing, but perhaps this user needs to be investigated if they are consistently disrupted. If there is anything else I should do, I would appreciate your advice.

Hi,
You have twice reverted my attempts to display the Churchill College coat of arms in Template:User Churchillian, on the basis that File:Churchill College Crest - flat.png is non-free. I understand that now, and thank you for drawing it to my attention.
Do you know if I would be allowed to create and upload a similar-looking graphic under a free license and link to that? Or, would the fact that it "looks like" a proprietary logo prohibit that? Would the College itself have to release the graphic under a free license, so as to remove any proprietary taint?

I am aware that the image is not in article space yet. If you looked at the rationale, it clearly shows that it is being used to create an article in userspace, which will then be moved to article space.
I've created quite a few court case articles, with one FA, one A-class, and several GA class. I know the process for creating articles and for image use. While you are certainly free to continue with the deletion action, all it will do is create extra work for me, as I will have to re-upload the seal image after the article has been moved to article space.
I would appreciate it if you would consider withdrawing the deletion template until I get the article completed. Regards, GregJackP Boomer! 18:27, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi, A month ago you said at my commons discussion( http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2012/12#A_Opposition_of_attempt_to_strengthen_Commons:Photographs_of_identifiable_people_enforcement), "English Wikipedia may choose to host images which aren't acceptable on Commons and still refer to the images as "free". For example, English Wikipedia has templates such as en:Template:PD-US-1923-abroad, en:Template:PD-ineligible-USonly and en:Template:FoP-USonly which are used for images which are very often not acceptable on Commons." If Template:FoP-USonly is a vaild license tag, Could we suggest image uploaders upload no-FoP building photos to English Wikipedia instead? also I think our Fair use policy page and file upload wizard page need to clearly state about No-FoP situations for buildings, but those pages do currently not.

Hello Stefan, My friend Peter Duffy and I were "tour NCOs" with BRIXMIS way back in 1958-9, which – as you can no doubt calculate – means that we are no longer in the flush of youth. I do nevertheless manage to make contributions (mainly textual) to Wikipedia from time to time. In the course of updating and expanding the entry for BRIXMIS I added an image of the flash I had worn on my uniform at the time and mentioned to Peter what I had been doing. He told me that he had two souvenirs of BRIXMIS in his possession – a "Missions Prohibited" sign and a number plate – and asked if I would like pictures of them for the article, to which of course I answered yes. He therefore took photos of them and emailed them to me. After tidying them up a bit, I filed them with Wikipedia and used them both in the article. Neither of us is remotely interested in what use is made of them by anyone else. I think they improve it greatly, but if you want to delete them go right ahead. We have tried to help, but cannot really at our time of life be bothered with the complications of the licensing required for us to do so. I am certainly not about to ask him to email <permissions-en@wikimedia.org> after he has, despite a very dodgy hip, risked life and limb taking a photo of items apparently fixed on top of a 7ft bookcase! Peter Farey ( talk) 13:45, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks, Stefan, for taking the time to deal with this. In fairness, WP:NFC#UUI §1 does state that it is "almost always" possible to replace the photo of a living person. In the interest of presenting a professional image that accurately reflects the content of the article, I believe that this photo is not currently replaceable and, under current circumstances, falls under the exceptions implied by the phase "almost always."
Is there an easy way to resolve this without removing the photo or unnecessarily taking more of your time with this issue?

Hello,
The file visibly dates from the early 1920s, when the subject was in his late 40s or early 50s (though I acknowledge that the white beard makes him look older). This photo, or variations of it, has been reproduced in several books and websites and nowhere is there any information on the copyright of this photo, so it is impossible to get any information on this subject.
This here is a photo taken later, where you can see that the subject of the photo has aged. One can compare it to the one I posted where he is visibly younger. http://ajdadalarab.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/d8a7d984d8b4d98ad8ae-d8a3d8add985d8af-d8b1d8b6d8a7-1872-1953.jpg

Hello, I'm new at this so please bear with me.

I see that you proposed the deletion of Cary Brothers' Under Control (album) article because there was no evidence that it was a notable album. I got the message late and the article was already deleted. I don't understand why his second album wouldn't be a notable album, when his first album is fine. Maybe there wasn't enough info there in my album article, I can see that. I would like the chance to redo that article again. The strange thing is that the album article now links back to Cary Brothers main page. Why is that...??? 1ragincajun ( talk) 19:49, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Stefan2. So on the Tyrice Thompson photo--could criterion 3b be solved by simply replacing the higher resolution file with a cropped, lower resolution one?
And on 10a, the file has been attributed to the photographer, Robert Kline, who specifically granted permission to use the photo (see http://www.cactusranch.com/devils/sdmainboard/187009.html). I also included the source URL of the image. I'm not sure what else to include there, so can you guide me on complying with that criterion?
Thanks for your help.

Hi, I have found that you have edited an article ESET NOD32 by replacing the new logo of the antivirus with the previous old logo. I have also seen that you have added a comment "PNG is better than those logos".
But that's not the present logo which is in "PNG". ESET has changed its antivirus logo with its new version i.e v6.
So, I request you please update the new logo which will fit the newly launched version. You may also edit my image and convert it to "PNG" (RECOMMENDED BY ME).
For any queries, message me on my talk page. Himanis Das ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 04:37, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

FYI:The version of this graph of mine that you've just moved to the commons seems not to be the latest one (the one I've uploaded today some time before your move).I don't know why, I don't know whether you've done it intentionally or it's because of some arcane WP technical issue but I'm imforming you that (especially) with this image I've been having issues for some time.Despite having updated it,i.e. uploaded a new version of it,the former version (<=>former data) kept being presented (after the former update and now after your move to the commons with this update though only there for now) in the articles it was used in and (less frequently) on its own page.The latest-newest image version was only finally shown only after ~5 or more F5s-ctrl+F5s;this doesn't seem to work at all at the commons(i.e. constantly showing the older version).Btw the resolution shown below of the image at the commons is of the latest version -as you can see for yourself at the upload log- despite the fact that the image shown is of the one before that.
And no it wasn't a caching issue on my side(at least as far as I can reasonable tell);I had been trying again and again on 2 separate browsers, multiple browser cache deletions, multiple tries over a long period, etc.I've been meaning to report it somewhere but I kept postponing it....
You have a huge history of moving stuff to the commons;perhaps you know (and hence can inform me) why this is happening?!?!?!?
EDIT-ADDENDUM: Checking again at the commons I now see that this only happens on the image preview.Once one goes to full resolution of the image (fullpage) it shows the latest version.Hmmmmm?!?!?

I don't understand what you posted on my talk page regarding this image. I modified an existing image to update it for 2013 and uploaded it with the same disclaimers as the previous image, and all the images like this as seen on every sidebar on MLB. While attempting to understand what your requirements are, I noticed that the image itself was deleted from Wikipedia and is now on WikiCommons, uploaded by you(?). Is that why the disclaimer no longer works? I noticed the originator's talk page (Silent Winds of Doom) has many of these messages by you, as well. I really hope you're not planning to summarily delete these images after 48 hours, as they are used on all the sidebars for the MLB teams. What needs to be done to fix this?

Thanks for uploading File:Cover art for Juniper's Knot.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 ( talk) 18:21, 20 February 2013 (UTC)Hello, I have recently updated the license for Juniper's Knot image.

Hi Stefan, about the tag on the above named file; The photographic image in that file was taken by me personaly with my girlfriends camera on a trip to Nigeria in 2007. I named my girlfriend as author of the picture because it had been published before in her travel blog here.Please note that the image in the file is not copied and pasted from the travel blog linked above but uploaded from the original camera HD memory card. This is evidenced by the fact that while the picture in the travel blog has 56051 Bytes and 550x413 Pixel, the picture uploaded by me in the file has 860 KB and and a resolution of 800x600 pixels.

Special:PermanentLink/545095803 Stefan - I would appreciate it if you can either comment on my talk page or the article page to explain specifically your issue with the inclusion of the logos on the Carlyle Group page. I am working on a major upgrade of the article as I have for a large number of other articles and honestly it is a distraction to have to argue about this with you. You said that the section on subsidiaries "looks like an advertisement". I am not sure how Logos constitute an advertisement - they are typically used on wikipedia for purposes of identifying a business or organization. That is the purpose here in which Carlyle has acquired a number of investment businesses and operates them as a network of affiliated businesses. Rather than create a number of stub articles, I think it is preferable to describe each affiliate within the Carlyle article. By using the logos it is much clearer to the reader that the company operates through this network. Each logo is presented alongside other subsidiaries with relevant information / referencing and so it does not really advertise the individual subsidiary nor does it in any way advertise Carlyle. I would appreciate a clearer explanation than "looks like an advertisement" Thanks. |► ϋrбanяeneωaℓ • TALK ◄| 23:37, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Why delete my pictures? MariaOzawaTV1 ( talk) 11:43, 30 March 2013 (UTC) |
I can see your point on many of our images of 3D works being deleted as a violation of policy. I do agree with your logic in it. I have brought this up at User talk:Jimbo Wales and I think they are failing to understand the issues involved. We do need to find a solution. As it stands now we have three choices: 1). Get permission from the rights holders for images. 2). Use images from countries that allow FOP. 3). Delete them all. I also noticed that File:Oscar statuette.jpg can be replaced with a free licence image according to 1) and 2) above. "Not replaceable" it used far too in fair use rationale when may of these images can be replaced if proper requests are accepted by the rights holders. Deceased persons and demolished buildings are most times hard to replace but not images of 3D works that still exist.-- Canoe1967 ( talk) 22:29, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

If you have email you're happy to be tied to your Wikipedia/Commons accounts, perhaps you could help in contacting this user to confirm permission (which I'm pretty confident has already been given); Wikipedia:File_namespace_noticeboard#Contacting_user_to_confirm_permission.

Why is this marked for deletion? I just received an email stating that the image will be promptly deleted. After the first notice, I got permission from the original author. I send an email to wikipedia quoting the full email I received from Embarcadero [current owner of Turbo Pascal and Delphi products]. I also added the OTRS tag (not sure if I got it right) to prevent deletion, but clearly that did not work, or nobody is checking emails at Wikipedia? Ggeldenhuys ( talk)
FYI, I could have just as easily given this image a transparent background and uploaded it as a PNG.... but I didn't (and usually don't). Do you know why? Have you ever seen what the wiki software does to PNG images when it resizes them? It's rather awful. For the most part I'd rather see a nice crisp JPG image with a nearly unnoticeable white background than a blurry PNG just so I can say it has a transparent background. PNG certainly has it's uses around here, but this urge to turn everything with a potentially transparent background into one is a little silly. Just thought I'd mention it, so the next time you add an "Opaque" tag, you'll have something else to think about besides that groovy transparent background. – JBarta ( talk) 17:25, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi Stefan. Thanks for your response at
File talk:Android 4.2 on the Nexus 4.png. Actually I'm fully aware what the issues are and aren't with this image, I was just hoping the person who reverted me would thoroughly explain what they saw as the problem so that I could thoroughly explain why they were wrong. For some reason though they chose to just revert and ignore any discussion. I'm not actually that bothered about that image anymore, because Android 4.2 looks exactly the same as Android 4.1, so we can use any number of properly attributed 4.1 images if necessary.
Anyway, I've been doing some digging and have a request for you:
It would be nice if you could get someone to undelete these. (The other images either don't matter or are already on Commons, correctly attributed.) I would ask Diannaa myself, but last time she archived my comments without any response rather than defend her admin actions, so I was hoping maybe someone would listen to you instead. More generally I wish people would leave these Android screenshots alone now - all the backgrounds are default Android (i.e. Apache) wallpapers and the icons are, as you say, de minimis. A lot of people are trying very hard to delete perfectly acceptable, free images, which is puzzling to me. I hope they get a kick out of it. Rapture's Sander Cohen ( talk) 18:25, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

This page is a bit confusing about what is available under what licence, but everything is clearly available under a free licence. Also, it seems that the software used for the screenshots are taken directly from the Android Open Source Project without adding any third-party content. I assume that this means that all icons and backgrounds on developer.android.com are available under a free licence unless otherwise indicated.Hello! I think File:Bill Bell 2003.jpeg (in use in William J.

I don't really see the problems here.... The images have the correct information filed out. I read your comments on the 90210 pictures and can understand your thought on it, however, it is a promotional poster that reflects the characters in the current season.

You have mentioned that the image is hidden by default, well please understand that I do not have any control over the hidden functionality and as such even if it is important from a user point of view, we can not change the functionality. I tried to unhide it by default but failed. Even though this screenshot is not directly detrimental to the understanding of the article, still a website's full page screenshot is always helpful for a visitor to the article. And most importantly I have seen in a lot of article, people have added fullpage website screenshot. If you need I can give you a link to one of such articles.

Hi, can you please respond to Leopold7's questions at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2013 April 12#File:James Lord Bowes 1834-99.jpg? He's kinda confused by your rationale and lack of response. If it was taken in 1875 I don't see how it could still be copyrighted. He also uploaded a duplicate at File:Portrait of James Lord Bowes circa 1875.png which has better licensing tags so maybe the one you nominated can just be deleted as a mistake. You also need to archive your talk page. -- Closedmouth ( talk) 13:42, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
I see from my watchlist that you have embarked on a crusade regarding photos with PD-Australia tags.
The owner of the copyright ( Australian War Memorial) says the copyright has expired. I'm puzzled as to why you have taken it upon yourself to disagree with the owner of the copyright. If the owner says the copyright has expired, what are you achieving, or hoping to achieve, by telling the owner that they are wrong?
I'm afraid I just don't understand your motivation.

I don't buy any of this. While legal explanations that these images are technically still copyrighted in the US even if not in AS are no doubt probably true why on earth would the copyright holder explicitly label the images as PD in Australia and then attempt to assert copyright in the US? This is a question that has been asked repeatedly and never answered. The simple answer is they wouldn't. This is especially true when one considers the mission of the AWM and what it exists to do (i.e. non-profit memorial). Of course all of this will be ignored as the strict legal / policy reason will always be applied once the images have been proposed for deletion (as indeed it must for Wikipedia to continue to function). Given this certainly and your claimed sympathies as nominator one truly has to question what outcome it is you hope to achieve Stefan? Do you seek an encyclopedia without images for many of our more important articles? Ultimately that is exactly what this is going to lead to. Suggestions about obtaining OTRS tickets aren't really helpful either - there are literally thousands of images in this category and no chance that editors have the time to obtain the necessary permissions just to tick a box to use an image the copyright holder has already explicitly (or at least implicitly) given us permission to use. (Not to mention the time such a request takes in even getting a response from the relevant government department - one of my requests took several months and when I got the response they pretty much thought I was an idiot because they were of the opinion that sufficient permission already existed). Surely there are more constructive ways to contribute to the encyclopedia than deleting perfectly useable images just because of some technicality which you feel needs to be enforced.

Although your contention is that an item of freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information as the illustrated subject, no example or argument is given for this position. This image is a copyrighted image of a copyrighted team jersey imprinted with trademark logo insignias. This image was derived from one used by the team's own website, and so should not be in danger of devaluing or demeaning the underlying copyrighted garment. I am unaware of any free equivalent image. A freely available photograph taken of the jersey on display in public, for example, would be very unlikely to display all of the sponsors' logos and the garment in full, and so would not be an adequate replacement or a fair depiction of the underlying copyrighted work. The resolution of this image is lower than the image available from the team's website directly, which is already at the decision of the copyright holder placed at risk of wrongful use, and this uploaded image's resolution would clearly be inadequate to produce a merchantable copy of the underlying copyrighted garment thereby threatening the copyright holder's opportunity for commercial exploitation of the jersey through licensed sales or otherwise.

Such use can be seen as wikihounding, a form of

I learned something new today that I did not know. Had you ever heard of Pushman v. New York Graphic Society before? Prior to 1976 (the court case was repealed by law in 1976), if the only physical embodiment of a copyrighted work was transferred, unless there was an agreement in writing to the contrary, the copyright was transferred as well. In other words, if you took a photo and then gave your only copy of that photo to someone before 1976, you transferred copyright to them. The "so what" of this is that if we have a photo from a family photo album or some such thing and that person (or their ancestor of whom they are the sole heir) obtained the photo before 1976, we need not concern ourselves too much with who it was that originally took the photo - the copyright was transferred with the photo until 1976. -- B ( talk) 01:49, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
Reading the non-free content rules, I can see why it is necessary to delete Neondian1995cover.jpeg , but there is a precedent for including alternative covers if they differ dramatically from the original cover (for example White Light/White Heat, where two covers are included), and I would therefore oppose the deletion of Neondian2006cover.jpeg.

Hi Stefan2, Actually Dazedbythebell and myself were considering migrating File:Meher Baba 12.jpg to Commons. What exactly should the source information be? Where the image was downloaded from? The one sure thing is that it was taken in India and there is it is now in Public Domain. Hoverfish Talk 15:23, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
I saw you have listed the files File:Riverdales 2006.jpg and File:Phase Three 2008.jpg for deletion due to them being redundant extra covers. I disagree that they are redundant, not just because they are different than the original album covers, but the reissues offer different content (be it extra songs or different track listing) and I feel that it is important to offer readers a visual clue to tell the difference between the original album pressings and the reissues. -- Gtandersson ( talk) 16:00, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Dear Stefan:
Please contact Dr. Vladimir Ronin, a professor at Luleå University so that he can discuss this with you directly. You can contact him directly by going to www.emccement.com, and emailing him using the contact form at the foot on the page.
My word is not good enough. You say it "cannot be verified". I want to know if every person who uploads is put through this baptism of fire. My word is my word. Your motive cannot be "verified" but yet, I HAVE to take you on trust.
Seems yet another example whereby Wikipedia does everything it can to aid the "accuser", yet the "accused" cannot question the motives of the very person "attacking" in the first place.
Put simply, I am not questioning your good faith. I am not asking for verification. Yet you persist. Does it not occur to you that the individuals nominating the pictures for deletion may be male fide? Yet they are given the benefit of the doubt. No wonder wikipedia has such a reputation of being such a brutal place: all the rules about fair play (and implying good faith) before before raising an allegation seem to count for nothing. Or has this not occured to you?

Hi, I reduced the size of the image once to what I think is a perfectly reasonable image size. Remember the image is made of two separate game screenshots and thus has to be somewhat bigger overall to be able to see each individual image, I don't think it needs reducing further and I think doing so renders the image too pixelated.

You have apparently deleted the file "CPT 4200 Cassette Tape Selectric Word Processor.png".
I had explained clearly on the form for the image why there was not a good substitute image available and why the use of this image did not conflict with any existing commercial or artistic interests. The images that were offered as substitutes are largely junk, not showing the machine clearly, having missing keys, with the two parts of the machine disjoint, and not showing the typing part of the machine in its original form, as should be depicted in a historical article on the subject. The image I uploaded was taken from a one-page advertising flyer from the early 1970s, not then marked with a copyright notice, and representing a machine that has not been manufactured for over 30 years, produced by a company that ceased operations more than a decade ago.
Not having this image available deprives readers of Wikipedia of a clear idea of what this machine was like. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LehmanUMN ( talk • contribs) 21:12, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
I'm have not seen an actual discussion. I replied to the queries a couple of weeks ago, explained that no suitable substitute was available, then you asserted substitute images were available, then my image was gone. Nobody discussed my points of why the other images were not suitable, or why this one did not infringe other interests. What am I missing? Please point me to the discussion you are referring to.

Hi Stefan,
I wanted to offer an explanation for the image of Alfred Hitchcock from TV Guide that you marked for deletion. I'm not entirely sure where to do so, but I posted the following in the "talk" page concerning the image's deletion. I'm copying what I posted there below:
First of all, this painting appeared on the cover of TV Guide to document Hitchcock's American television show, Alfred Hitchcock Presents. The fact that this ran as the cover of TV Guide shows how important Hitchcock was in his television career, a fact many casual fans are not aware of. Most of all, the image absolutely contributes to an understanding of Hitchcock's macabre career and character. Al Hirschfeld portrayed Hitchcock in green in order to visually represent the macabre subject matter and style for which Hitchcock was known. Therein Hirschfeld had poetic license to capture Hitchcock's character better than any photograph could. The National Portrait Gallery purchased the painting because it is so effective in this regard. Robyn42 (talk) 01:38, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for your kind attention, Robyn42 ( talk) 02:08, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi Stefan,
You are right that the image's relevance is not adequately explained. I think that I should have explained it to begin with in the article. I want to suggest that I could put the following text in the "Television, radio, and books" section, following the discussion that is already there about "Alfred Hitchcock Presents", the television show that the painting is about:
"In 1957, TV Guide commissioned Al Hirschfeld to do a painting of Alfred Hitchcock for their cover. Hirschfeld took this opportunity to portray Hitchcock in green, in keeping with the macabre subject matter and style for which Hitchcock was known. Therein Hirschfeld drew upon a poetic license that no photographer could have taken. The National Portrait Gallery later purchased the painting because it so effectively captured Hitchcock's character and image."
I think that this would add to the information in the article, and would also allow the image to serve an informative purpose as well! Thank you for bringing this to my attention; looking forward to hearing your thoughts! Robyn42 ( talk) 03:44, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Stefan, I noticed your comment over at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2013 April 25#File:Charlotte British Encampment.jpg, and I wanted clarification for my own personal knowledge. Is it your contention that historical markers installed prior to 1978 are in the public domain, and if so, what is your basis for that? I've got several images of historical markers I'd like to use, but want to hold off until this is resolved. Does it make a difference if the marker is installed by a State government as opposed to a nonprofit? Presumably federal historical markers are the property of the U.S. Government, and there would therefore be no copyright. Any direction would be great. Cdtew ( talk) 18:23, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Stefan2 I really can't understand what is the problem with File:Olympiakos4.svg. I edited the "purpose of use" section because I thought I can use the image to a template. I found out that this is against the rules and I reverted my own edit and things went back to where they were. Now you changed my own edit and you state that the issue is still unresolved. Please explain what is the problem. I really can't understand why you nominated the image for deletion since I reverted my unintended mistake. Waiting for your answer, Gtrbolivar ( talk) 21:46, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
As everyone understands, a club's emblem is used to provide identification in all the relevant departments of the parent-club. The image should be used to all Olympiacos' departments. But you tell me that, since it has only one fair use rationale it should be used only in one article. This is inexplicable. In all multi-sport clubs the emblem is used for the identification of the club in all their departments. What is the problem here? What's the difference? And why instead of trying to fix this problem you nominate the image for complete deletion? Waiting for your answer, Gtrbolivar ( talk) 21:59, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

You might observe that Wikiproject India already sucks big time, much of it looks like a rotten bunch of trash full of propaganda, advertising, etc. I am one of the few working to clean this trash. Many of the images even in Commons are of doubtful copyright status and little is done about them and even less, the time spent upon them. It would be better if you can mind your own business and stop harassing me.- Ravi My Tea Kadai 06:09, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
Hello Stefan2. Replies have been posted to your query at the VRT noticeboard. Thank you!
Saw your note. The original document does not carry any copyright. It is a just receipt for donation paid by one of my ancestors. The document is now past 70 years old and no copyright could exist in India, other than for the image created (photograph) by me, which I am not claiming any copyright. So please remove the unfree file notes. Let me know if any action is needed from my side. Thanks. Aaroamal ( talk) 14:25, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
Every file this editor has ever uploaded would appear to have been lifted without permission from another website. I have concerns about a number of .png graphics files he has uploaded claiming "self". I believe you have a method of checking these? If so would you like me to name the files which are suspect?

The creator of that file had been a family friend of the subject and is now deceased (please refer to the dates mentioned). The photograph was taken entirely on a personal basis. Please mention the procedures for obtaining copyright about such material when the creator is deceased and the next of kin are no longer in touch. Or kindly remove that picture from the "tagged to be deleted" list.

Sorry, you posted a very confusing thing about an image permission on my talk page. The artist uploaded the image herself. It is her image. She gave permission to upload it when we uploaded it. She is an artist. I just happened to be signed in at the time at her computer and was sitting next to her. Do you prefer that she reupload it when I am not signed in? She is 90 years old and if you actually need her to do something herself without me helping her you are going to need to explain to me how to do it since apparently the problem is that I was too involved the first time.

Thanks for your help in getting this straightened out. I have sent the following letter to someone with access to the BOR website: http://www.murraystate.edu/boardofregents. Is that the appropriate thing to do?
The wiki entry is up at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantine_W._Curris There is a problem with the pic. I took it from the BOR website http://www.murraystate.edu/boardofregents
They need the pic to be released to wiki which I think means making it in the public domain. I thought the fact that it was on the MSU website meant that that had already happened.

Hi Sefan. Could you tzke a look at this please. I'm convinced that it cannot be the uploader's own work, and that as a a school logo it would be unfree and not acceptable on Commons, On Wikipedia it would need a FUR for what is fairly obviously a derivative work if not the original itself.

1.Pictures of people still alive, groups still active, and buildings still standing; provided that taking a new free picture as a replacement (which is almost always considered possible) would serve the same encyclopedic purpose as the non-free image. This includes non-free promotional images.
Replacing an image of a military officers in Egypt is unlikely. Photographs of military officers are whether published by the Morale Affairs department which is a one in a life time portrait photograph (unless they're promoted) or taken by press under a permission by the Armed Forces. in case of the generals i uploaded their photos they are at the peak of their career and next step is retirement no further promotions.

The image of Chief Flying Hawk (Chief Flying Hawk, Buffalo Bill'd Wild West, Cast Card.jpg) is part of a set of 16 postcards sold by the American Museum of Natural History, N.Y.

Hi,
I notice you reduced the resolution on a file I recently uploaded ( File:Live at Edu Screenshot.png). I think you've reduced the resolution far beyond anything reasonable/sensible - all that exists now is a vague yellow blob. I was wondering if you could re-upload it with a slightly higher resolution or if you'd be happy for me to? (I'm not too familiar with Wikipedia's policies on screenshots but I'm fairly sure the original image satisfied the guidlines found in Wikipedia:NFCC#3b? (Also reducing the resolution of screenshots renders text unreadable (or fugly at best) rendering the screenshots uselesss... anyway that's kind of irrelevant to this...))

The particular template you chose to place on my talk page was unnecessarily confrontational (for example: "blatant copyright infringement" and threatening a block from editing). There are other templates that are less, shall we say, threatening. The only real conclusion that I can come to is that you must think that I am a regular violator of copyrights. Sure, I have some previous tags on my talk page, but those were from when I started about two years ago, and they have since been remedied, and in my time here, I have learned the proper copyright procedures (I mostly upload album covers).

I'm puzzled at the proposed deletion for reason of copyright. Since I'm proceeding under fair use, asking the schools organization seems inappropriate or unnecessary. Their home page does not display a copyright notice, but I presume they have the copyright and all other intellectual property interests. I stated the best information I have. While the notice ( User talk:Nick Levinson#File copyright problem with File:Success Academy Charter Schools logo.png) discusses verifying the source, I just revisited the schools URL and it's still there. I guess that the fair use rationale is what you're specifically questioning. What is it that I should address? Thank you. Nick Levinson ( talk) 21:13, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

As I already clearly stated when uploading the images in the boxes provided, my gallery of which I am the owner), is the owner of the photographic images of the paintings, and the owner of the paintings, which I used in editing the entry on Beltran Masses. Because of the annoying questions that have arisen in the past when I have used images that belonged to me, I made this absolutely clear. Did you actually bother to read the messages I put in those boxes? Did you not read that I stated this very clearly? I have more or less given up correcting the vast quantities of false or inaccurate information on wikipedia because of the extra work this kind of complaint then leads to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GuyStairSainty ( talk • contribs) 18:30, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
Photos uploaded by me to the Beltran Masses entry.
As I stated when I did so, these photos and the paintings belong to me. The artist died in 1949. I can do what I like with these photos and I chose - I thought helpfully - to include them as they are famous examples of this artist's work in my expanded article on the artist.
These paintings are all right now in my London gallery, awaiting exhibition. GuyStairSainty ( talk) 18:40, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
The painter has been dead for 63 years. That means it could not be in copyright n the US. surely you are aware of ths if you are gong round censorng photos. but ven if ths was not the case, he had no issue and His estate passed to his widow. He had no heirs after his widow. She bequeathed the paintings she inherited to friends who divided it The catalogue and rights are controlled by the Comité Beltran-Masses, of which I am co-dirctor. But apart from that, if you knew copyright law you would understand better that copyright dies not exist if th creator has no heirs. Furthermore, Wikipedia has 100s of images of works by artists who ate very definitely still in copyright everywhere - Picasso beng just one. Yet you are not cutting these images. I suggest you consult somene who actually knows someething about the subject. Levy-Dhurmer, on the other hand, had no heirs and there is no copyright. But why should you know that?

Stefan, thank you for your help.
I have a question concerning a deletion. I followed your useful instructions and forwarded the emails to permissions-enwikimedia.org from the creator/owner of the photo within 2 days after receiving the email, well within the 7 day time limit.
[This message is about the info I received concerning the following notification.]
:Notification: tagging for deletion of. ( TW)"
Because I forwarded the emails (that gave specific permission to use the photo and stated public domain) to the correct address, as instructed, I don't understand why the photo was deleted.
What do you suggest that I now do so the photo appears on the page and not be deleted?
Should I upload the photo again and again send the letter of permission to the wiki permission email?
Or should I walk the owner of the photo through the process (which may be a challenge for them to learn) and have them send their own permission to put the photo into public domain?
Thanks again for your assistance.

Stefan,
I sent the email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. (This address here is copied directly from the actual sent message.) The address I sent the emails to, match what you state above.
(And yes, I made a typo in my question above. Sorry about that.)
My guess is that since the photo was deleted, it needs to be uploaded again, with the permissions sent again. Is that correct?
If I take the effort to upload the photo again and send the permissions letter again, how do we keep the photo from being deleted?
Thanks, Sbjohnson ( talk) 19:04, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

I'll email the copyright holder of the photo again and work on getting the photo added. I'll also make sure that the permission is resent, and insure that the {{

Hi Stefan. While I appreciate that you're tagging images as Nowcommons, I would appreciate more if you could transfer over any other version before tagging them. For example File:Tsarevitch Alexander later Alexander III 1865 by Sergei Levitsky.jpg; this image had a new version on English Wikipedia, and I will have to go through the work of transferring over the new version, then removing the duplicate upload log. This is adding an extraordinary amount of time to the work I'm doing, greatly adding to the likelihood that I just give up because of the tedium, and another administrator comes along and just flat out deletes the image without the improved versions. Thanks. Magog the Ogre ( t • c) 22:13, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
I used the image at my site, and uploaded it here. Somehow I must have filled out the Copywrite form incorrectly. I have sent an email from the address listed on the website's copywrite page. I hope this is sufficient to close this issue. Wikipedia really needs to go back over their copywrite policy and make it less complex than it is. You need to be a lawyer to understand it all. I have also tagged the file description with the proper OTRS tag.

Dear Stefan2,
I have a question. Lets take the following scenario as an example. Person A is a celebrity who is still alive. Person B takes his photo and put it in his website. Now person C, who is a Wikipedian, wants to use that photo in Wikipedia. So, person C asks person B for the permission to use the photo taken by him. Person B (the copyright-holder) have no objection with this.
Now, what procedure person C should follow in order to use that file in Wikipedia? Is there any kind of sample format of permission/agreement that the both party have to sign. How can we send the copy of the permission agreement paper to WikiMedia?

Hi Stefan
I uploaded the file File:UniversityOfNatal CoatOfArms.jpg earlier today and you flagged it with {{Bad JPEG}}, {{Opaque}}.
In order to removed confusion, I have changed the text describing the source of the image from "Copied from a degree certificate issued by the university" to "Scanned from a degree certificate issued by the university". Since it was scanned, it was a photographic reproduction - the word "copied" might have caused some confusion as copying can be done by hand.

Before slapping CSD templates on pictures, you should actually look at the history and see who uploaded it first. Your careless actions nearly resulted in the deletion of a file that I uploaded in 2004, with a statement that I created it, as "no source".

God knows how many other pictures have been deleted due to this kind of action. pschemp | talk 03:13, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
Stefan, You have tagged 4 pictures of Ernest Pike for speedy deletion. The reason that there are four is because of a known issue with the uploader wizard which does not inform the user of a successful upload.
One of these pictures is required for a revised Ernest Pike article which I shall be releasing in the next 2 days. The following picture is currently being accessed in my sandbox: "Ernest Pike standing by a Sheraton gramophone.jpg". This picture needs to be kept please - its link is:- File:Ernest Pike standing by a Sheraton gramophone.jpg
The others can be deleted. I know that the names are similar and that it is confusing.
With regard to copyright license (if this is an issue) I have discussed this with Piotrus (senior editor) and he says that it should be licensed as commons:pd:-UK-Unknown. If I have not set this correctly (and I am relatively new to Wikipedia) I could use some help with how to do this.

Dear Stefan2, Thanks for the rapid reply and giving the reason of the delete. I was only frustrated about the demoval that I was not sure whether the article will still keep the figure. But I can see it will be there after removal - so it is OK. Thanks for the message and the kind help around the figures. Best regrds from Kohlasz ( talk) 15:14, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

You flagged this image for deletion an hour after I posted it, effective in one week's time. It may take me longer than that to figure this out. I've created several pages before but never dealt with images. The user page tutorials are making my brain freeze. I believe I have copyright info for this and five subsequent images, but it's hard to tell. Images are to accompany a new page I've created but not activated yet, plus one existing page with related content but currently no photos. Any help you could spare would be appreciated. 00:16, 25 October 2012 (UTC)Paulcullum00:16, 25 October 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulcullum ( talk • contribs)
All of those images that I have uploaded to Wikipedia have a valid copyright license and you can see that on the links provided under the "some rights reserved" on their respective Flickr pages.

Okay, my mistake, I thought they were all Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0.

Hello, I'm just trying to understand the reasoning of the tag you added to the 2012-13 OHL season page. Is it too many logos? I got the idea off of the German version of wikipedia where the person looking after the OHL season over there had logos beside the team names. I thought it looked good and identified the teams better for a casual hockey fan who might not know too much about junior hockey, however, they could be familiar with some of the logos. Thanks.

Hi there Stefan2. I note your request to delete several files that seem to be duplicated and your suggestion to delete those files with annotations. The non-annotated files were uploaded first by accident, more than design, but the annotated files relate to information on the page that the files are used on. I would not want the annotated files to be deleted amd am not aware that an image should not have a watermark. Currently the page that these images relates to is in my sandbox and it being edited by colleagues, or they are sending me edits for me to incorperate (not everyone wants to be a wikipedia editor). Please keep me updated with your thoughts. Regards Gurnard ( talk) 15:55, 25 October 2012 (UTC).
Hello Stefan2. Many thanks for your comments, but please can you point to a policy document that states that images cannot have annotations as I have not seen anything to that effect. Whether or not they can be read by screen readers is also a mute point I would have thought as the images also cannot be read by a screen reader. Users using a screen reader would get the caption, though. Furthermore there is no restriction in users using said images for other purposes however, you will note that some of these were not uploaded through the Commons are are linked to the specific page. If I was to upload a picture of a particular animal or plant I would like to include that specie's name and adding an annotation would not hinder this, nor restrict the pictures use, but ensure (in that case) that it was not mistakenly identified elsewhere. I do not yet consider this matter to be closed and would welcome wider comments on annotations. Regards Gurnard ( talk) 10:30, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi there. That's a page that has a lot of very useful content. Isn't it amazing that there is never time to get things quite right first time. Nevertheless, the contested images are uploaded as Fair Use not free. The originator of said images is now in Africa for a month and will not be able to make amendments while away to change copyright status of additional images I would upload. The watermarking or non-free (Fair Use) seems not to be a problem. What's your suggestion? Gurnard ( talk) 18:24, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

For the three images File:Gabbar singh cd cover.jpg, File:Rebel cd cover.jpg, File:Daruvu cd cover.jpg how can i add this : "The cover looks similar to the other image elsewhere in the article." Because all the opponent three "Film poster" versions in those particular article's were updated and deleted the old revisions. Still you have stated that "Still delete" in "Ffd". After this how is it possible to delete the above three images man. Because significant versions existed in those articles only and i have updated them and older revisions were deleted by admin also. And also Endukante premanta poster was also updated so significance problem gone there also. But a significant this version exists in somewhere wikipedia as per you here Where can i found this article. Please give that article name and i will add that articl'es reference in this "File:Endukante premanta cd cover.jpg". By this, this poster's problem will be solved. "File talk:Endukante premanta cd cover.jpg" will be deleted. I will accept this one. Remaining are all corrected. Raghusri ( talk) Raghusri 19:05, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi Stefan,
I'm a bit confused that you replaced the attached image in the discussion with "non-free image removed".
Please take note of two separate versions of the images. The differences in both images are in the name, with the second one having capslocked Start Screen instead of the first, which is just start screen. I uploaded File:Windows 8 Start Screen.png because I wanted the name to comply with Microsoft's guideline on trademark usage.
I feel that it is appropriate to replace back
File:Windows 8 Start Screen.png on the non-free content review page as this is the one which should be kept, as it complies with the low resolution version.
Also, please delete File:Windows 8 Start Screen.png as it contains a name which in my opinion does not agree with Microsoft's guideline for trademark use, and it also contains high-resolution versions of the image which is not compliant with fair-use on Wikipedia.
Please take note of the difference in names. Optakeover (Talk) 19:03, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

I have nominated this page for speedy delation since it is not verifiable and it appears to be a hoax. I noticed on the user talk page for Milkstracciacow that in October, you recommended a page with the same name for deletion. The current page shows that it was created December 7, 2012, so I believe that the page you commented on was deleted, and the current page is a re-creation by the same user, intended to get around the earlier deletion of the page. I note on Milkstracciacow's talk page at User talk:Milkastracciacow that this user has other speedy deletion notes, as well as an editing ban in August. I'm not sure how to start such a thing, but perhaps this user needs to be investigated if they are consistently disrupted. If there is anything else I should do, I would appreciate your advice.

Hi,
You have twice reverted my attempts to display the Churchill College coat of arms in Template:User Churchillian, on the basis that File:Churchill College Crest - flat.png is non-free. I understand that now, and thank you for drawing it to my attention.
Do you know if I would be allowed to create and upload a similar-looking graphic under a free license and link to that? Or, would the fact that it "looks like" a proprietary logo prohibit that? Would the College itself have to release the graphic under a free license, so as to remove any proprietary taint?
Apologies for asking, but I don't know copyright law, or Wikipedia policy on UK vs. US laws, etc., well enough to find the answer easily myself. — Cheers, Steelpillow ( Talk) 19:03, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
I am aware that the image is not in article space yet. If you looked at the rationale, it clearly shows that it is being used to create an article in userspace, which will then be moved to article space.
I've created quite a few court case articles, with one FA, one A-class, and several GA class. I know the process for creating articles and for image use. While you are certainly free to continue with the deletion action, all it will do is create extra work for me, as I will have to re-upload the seal image after the article has been moved to article space.
I would appreciate it if you would consider withdrawing the deletion template until I get the article completed. Regards, GregJackP Boomer! 18:27, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi, A month ago you said at my commons discussion( http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2012/12#A_Opposition_of_attempt_to_strengthen_Commons:Photographs_of_identifiable_people_enforcement), "English Wikipedia may choose to host images which aren't acceptable on Commons and still refer to the images as "free". For example, English Wikipedia has templates such as en:Template:PD-US-1923-abroad, en:Template:PD-ineligible-USonly and en:Template:FoP-USonly which are used for images which are very often not acceptable on Commons." If Template:FoP-USonly is a vaild license tag, Could we suggest image uploaders upload no-FoP building photos to English Wikipedia instead? also I think our Fair use policy page and file upload wizard page need to clearly state about No-FoP situations for buildings, but those pages do currently not.

Hello Stefan, My friend Peter Duffy and I were "tour NCOs" with BRIXMIS way back in 1958-9, which – as you can no doubt calculate – means that we are no longer in the flush of youth. I do nevertheless manage to make contributions (mainly textual) to Wikipedia from time to time. In the course of updating and expanding the entry for BRIXMIS I added an image of the flash I had worn on my uniform at the time and mentioned to Peter what I had been doing. He told me that he had two souvenirs of BRIXMIS in his possession – a "Missions Prohibited" sign and a number plate – and asked if I would like pictures of them for the article, to which of course I answered yes. He therefore took photos of them and emailed them to me. After tidying them up a bit, I filed them with Wikipedia and used them both in the article. Neither of us is remotely interested in what use is made of them by anyone else. I think they improve it greatly, but if you want to delete them go right ahead. We have tried to help, but cannot really at our time of life be bothered with the complications of the licensing required for us to do so. I am certainly not about to ask him to email <permissions-en@wikimedia.org> after he has, despite a very dodgy hip, risked life and limb taking a photo of items apparently fixed on top of a 7ft bookcase! Peter Farey ( talk) 13:45, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks, Stefan, for taking the time to deal with this. In fairness, WP:NFC#UUI §1 does state that it is "almost always" possible to replace the photo of a living person. In the interest of presenting a professional image that accurately reflects the content of the article, I believe that this photo is not currently replaceable and, under current circumstances, falls under the exceptions implied by the phase "almost always."
Is there an easy way to resolve this without removing the photo or unnecessarily taking more of your time with this issue?

Hello,
The file visibly dates from the early 1920s, when the subject was in his late 40s or early 50s (though I acknowledge that the white beard makes him look older). This photo, or variations of it, has been reproduced in several books and websites and nowhere is there any information on the copyright of this photo, so it is impossible to get any information on this subject.
This here is a photo taken later, where you can see that the subject of the photo has aged. One can compare it to the one I posted where he is visibly younger. http://ajdadalarab.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/d8a7d984d8b4d98ad8ae-d8a3d8add985d8af-d8b1d8b6d8a7-1872-1953.jpg

logo which I uploaded. I'm having a bit of a problem. I want to delete the previous version and use the new one but I don't know how to do it. I have tried but couldn't find the solution.
Can you help me? Looking forward to your response. Thanks.

Hi Stefan,
I apologize if this is not the appropriate place to contact you, but it's the only one I know about. I don't understand how to deal with copyright issues regarding a photo for the Jeff Antoniuk article. It's a copyrighted picture, but Jeff Antoniuk owns the copyright and approves its use there. How do I document that? Thanks.

Hello, Stefan2.
One question: Which rules say that non-free images of living people are acceptable (under fair use) if their whereabouts are unknown or if they are imprisoned? I'm having some trouble keeping photos of imprisoned/fugitive drug lords. Thank you. ComputerJA ( talk) 21:34, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm new at this so please bear with me. I uploaded the image File:A screenshot of the options available in the Find My iPhone app.jpg today and it was nominated by you for speedy deletion, citing a duplicate.

I see that you proposed the deletion of Cary Brothers' Under Control (album) article because there was no evidence that it was a notable album. I got the message late and the article was already deleted. I don't understand why his second album wouldn't be a notable album, when his first album is fine. Maybe there wasn't enough info there in my album article, I can see that. I would like the chance to redo that article again. The strange thing is that the album article now links back to Cary Brothers main page. Why is that...??? 1ragincajun ( talk) 19:49, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Stefan2. So on the Tyrice Thompson photo--could criterion 3b be solved by simply replacing the higher resolution file with a cropped, lower resolution one?
And on 10a, the file has been attributed to the photographer, Robert Kline, who specifically granted permission to use the photo (see http://www.cactusranch.com/devils/sdmainboard/187009.html). I also included the source URL of the image. I'm not sure what else to include there, so can you guide me on complying with that criterion?
Thanks for your help.

Hi, I have found that you have edited an article ESET NOD32 by replacing the new logo of the antivirus with the previous old logo. I have also seen that you have added a comment "PNG is better than those logos".
But that's not the present logo which is in "PNG". ESET has changed its antivirus logo with its new version i.e v6.
So, I request you please update the new logo which will fit the newly launched version. You may also edit my image and convert it to "PNG" (RECOMMENDED BY ME).
For any queries, message me on my talk page. Himanis Das ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 04:37, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

FYI:The version of this graph of mine that you've just moved to the commons seems not to be the latest one (the one I've uploaded today some time before your move).I don't know why, I don't know whether you've done it intentionally or it's because of some arcane WP technical issue but I'm imforming you that (especially) with this image I've been having issues for some time.Despite having updated it,i.e. uploaded a new version of it,the former version (<=>former data) kept being presented (after the former update and now after your move to the commons with this update though only there for now) in the articles it was used in and (less frequently) on its own page.The latest-newest image version was only finally shown only after ~5 or more F5s-ctrl+F5s;this doesn't seem to work at all at the commons(i.e. constantly showing the older version).Btw the resolution shown below of the image at the commons is of the latest version -as you can see for yourself at the upload log- despite the fact that the image shown is of the one before that.
And no it wasn't a caching issue on my side(at least as far as I can reasonable tell);I had been trying again and again on 2 separate browsers, multiple browser cache deletions, multiple tries over a long period, etc.I've been meaning to report it somewhere but I kept postponing it....
You have a huge history of moving stuff to the commons;perhaps you know (and hence can inform me) why this is happening?!?!?!?
EDIT-ADDENDUM: Checking again at the commons I now see that this only happens on the image preview.Once one goes to full resolution of the image (fullpage) it shows the latest version.Hmmmmm?!?!?

I don't understand what you posted on my talk page regarding this image. I modified an existing image to update it for 2013 and uploaded it with the same disclaimers as the previous image, and all the images like this as seen on every sidebar on MLB. While attempting to understand what your requirements are, I noticed that the image itself was deleted from Wikipedia and is now on WikiCommons, uploaded by you(?). Is that why the disclaimer no longer works? I noticed the originator's talk page (Silent Winds of Doom) has many of these messages by you, as well. I really hope you're not planning to summarily delete these images after 48 hours, as they are used on all the sidebars for the MLB teams. What needs to be done to fix this?

Thanks for uploading File:Cover art for Juniper's Knot.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 ( talk) 18:21, 20 February 2013 (UTC)Hello, I have recently updated the license for Juniper's Knot image.

Hi Stefan, about the tag on the above named file; The photographic image in that file was taken by me personaly with my girlfriends camera on a trip to Nigeria in 2007. I named my girlfriend as author of the picture because it had been published before in her travel blog here.Please note that the image in the file is not copied and pasted from the travel blog linked above but uploaded from the original camera HD memory card. This is evidenced by the fact that while the picture in the travel blog has 56051 Bytes and 550x413 Pixel, the picture uploaded by me in the file has 860 KB and and a resolution of 800x600 pixels.

Special:PermanentLink/545095803 Stefan - I would appreciate it if you can either comment on my talk page or the article page to explain specifically your issue with the inclusion of the logos on the Carlyle Group page. I am working on a major upgrade of the article as I have for a large number of other articles and honestly it is a distraction to have to argue about this with you. You said that the section on subsidiaries "looks like an advertisement". I am not sure how Logos constitute an advertisement - they are typically used on wikipedia for purposes of identifying a business or organization. That is the purpose here in which Carlyle has acquired a number of investment businesses and operates them as a network of affiliated businesses. Rather than create a number of stub articles, I think it is preferable to describe each affiliate within the Carlyle article. By using the logos it is much clearer to the reader that the company operates through this network. Each logo is presented alongside other subsidiaries with relevant information / referencing and so it does not really advertise the individual subsidiary nor does it in any way advertise Carlyle. I would appreciate a clearer explanation than "looks like an advertisement" Thanks. |► ϋrбanяeneωaℓ • TALK ◄| 23:37, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Why delete my pictures? MariaOzawaTV1 ( talk) 11:43, 30 March 2013 (UTC) |
I can see your point on many of our images of 3D works being deleted as a violation of policy. I do agree with your logic in it. I have brought this up at User talk:Jimbo Wales and I think they are failing to understand the issues involved. We do need to find a solution. As it stands now we have three choices: 1). Get permission from the rights holders for images. 2). Use images from countries that allow FOP. 3). Delete them all. I also noticed that File:Oscar statuette.jpg can be replaced with a free licence image according to 1) and 2) above. "Not replaceable" it used far too in fair use rationale when may of these images can be replaced if proper requests are accepted by the rights holders. Deceased persons and demolished buildings are most times hard to replace but not images of 3D works that still exist.-- Canoe1967 ( talk) 22:29, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Why is this marked for deletion? I just received an email stating that the image will be promptly deleted. After the first notice, I got permission from the original author. I send an email to wikipedia quoting the full email I received from Embarcadero [current owner of Turbo Pascal and Delphi products]. I also added the OTRS tag (not sure if I got it right) to prevent deletion, but clearly that did not work, or nobody is checking emails at Wikipedia? Ggeldenhuys ( talk)
FYI, I could have just as easily given this image a transparent background and uploaded it as a PNG.... but I didn't (and usually don't). Do you know why? Have you ever seen what the wiki software does to PNG images when it resizes them? It's rather awful. For the most part I'd rather see a nice crisp JPG image with a nearly unnoticeable white background than a blurry PNG just so I can say it has a transparent background. PNG certainly has it's uses around here, but this urge to turn everything with a potentially transparent background into one is a little silly. Just thought I'd mention it, so the next time you add an "Opaque" tag, you'll have something else to think about besides that groovy transparent background. – JBarta ( talk) 17:25, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi Stefan. Thanks for your response at
File talk:Android 4.2 on the Nexus 4.png. Actually I'm fully aware what the issues are and aren't with this image, I was just hoping the person who reverted me would thoroughly explain what they saw as the problem so that I could thoroughly explain why they were wrong. For some reason though they chose to just revert and ignore any discussion. I'm not actually that bothered about that image anymore, because Android 4.2 looks exactly the same as Android 4.1, so we can use any number of properly attributed 4.1 images if necessary.
Anyway, I've been doing some digging and have a request for you:
It would be nice if you could get someone to undelete these. (The other images either don't matter or are already on Commons, correctly attributed.) I would ask Diannaa myself, but last time she archived my comments without any response rather than defend her admin actions, so I was hoping maybe someone would listen to you instead. More generally I wish people would leave these Android screenshots alone now - all the backgrounds are default Android (i.e. Apache) wallpapers and the icons are, as you say, de minimis. A lot of people are trying very hard to delete perfectly acceptable, free images, which is puzzling to me. I hope they get a kick out of it. Rapture's Sander Cohen ( talk) 18:25, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

This page is a bit confusing about what is available under what licence, but everything is clearly available under a free licence. Also, it seems that the software used for the screenshots are taken directly from the Android Open Source Project without adding any third-party content. I assume that this means that all icons and backgrounds on developer.android.com are available under a free licence unless otherwise indicated.Hello! I think File:Bill Bell 2003.jpeg (in use in William J.

I don't really see the problems here.... The images have the correct information filed out.

Hey Stefan, I understand you have some reservation on addition of a website screenshot on the subject issue. You have mentioned that the image is hidden by default, well please understand that I do not have any control over the hidden functionality and as such even if it is important from a user point of view, we can not change the functionality. I tried to unhide it by default but failed. Even though this screenshot is not directly detrimental to the understanding of the article, still a website's full page screenshot is always helpful for a visitor to the article. And most importantly I have seen in a lot of article, people have added fullpage website screenshot. If you need I can give you a link to one of such articles.

If it was taken in 1875 I don't see how it could still be copyrighted. He also uploaded a duplicate at File:Portrait of James Lord Bowes circa 1875.png which has better licensing tags so maybe the one you nominated can just be deleted as a mistake. You also need to archive your talk page. -- Closedmouth ( talk) 13:42, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
I see from my watchlist that you have embarked on a crusade regarding photos with PD-Australia tags.
The owner of the copyright ( Australian War Memorial) says the copyright has expired. I'm puzzled as to why you have taken it upon yourself to disagree with the owner of the copyright. If the owner says the copyright has expired, what are you achieving, or hoping to achieve, by telling the owner that they are wrong?
I'm afraid I just don't understand your motivation.

I don't buy any of this. While legal explanations that these images are technically still copyrighted in the US even if not in AS are no doubt probably true why on earth would the copyright holder explicitly label the images as PD in Australia and then attempt to assert copyright in the US? This is a question that has been asked repeatedly and never answered. The simple answer is they wouldn't. This is especially true when one considers the mission of the AWM and what it exists to do (i.e. non-profit memorial). Of course all of this will be ignored as the strict legal / policy reason will always be applied once the images have been proposed for deletion (as indeed it must for Wikipedia to continue to function). Given this certainly and your claimed sympathies as nominator one truly has to question what outcome it is you hope to achieve Stefan? Do you seek an encyclopedia without images for many of our more important articles? Ultimately that is exactly what this is going to lead to. Suggestions about obtaining OTRS tickets aren't really helpful either - there are literally thousands of images in this category and no chance that editors have the time to obtain the necessary permissions just to tick a box to use an image the copyright holder has already explicitly (or at least implicitly) given us permission to use. (Not to mention the time such a request takes in even getting a response from the relevant government department - one of my requests took several months and when I got the response they pretty much thought I was an idiot because they were of the opinion that sufficient permission already existed). Surely there are more constructive ways to contribute to the encyclopedia than deleting perfectly useable images just because of some technicality which you feel needs to be enforced.

Although your contention is that an item of freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information as the illustrated subject, no example or argument is given for this position. This image is a copyrighted image of a copyrighted team jersey imprinted with trademark logo insignias. This image was derived from one used by the team's own website, and so should not be in danger of devaluing or demeaning the underlying copyrighted garment. I am unaware of any free equivalent image. A freely available photograph taken of the jersey on display in public, for example, would be very unlikely to display all of the sponsors' logos and the garment in full, and so would not be an adequate replacement or a fair depiction of the underlying copyrighted work. The resolution of this image is lower than the image available from the team's website directly, which is already at the decision of the copyright holder placed at risk of wrongful use, and this uploaded image's resolution would clearly be inadequate to produce a merchantable copy of the underlying copyrighted garment thereby threatening the copyright holder's opportunity for commercial exploitation of the jersey through licensed sales or otherwise.

Such use can be seen as wikihounding, a form of

I learned something new today that I did not know. Had you ever heard of Pushman v. New York Graphic Society before? Prior to 1976 (the court case was repealed by law in 1976), if the only physical embodiment of a copyrighted work was transferred, unless there was an agreement in writing to the contrary, the copyright was transferred as well. In other words, if you took a photo and then gave your only copy of that photo to someone before 1976, you transferred copyright to them. The "so what" of this is that if we have a photo from a family photo album or some such thing and that person (or their ancestor of whom they are the sole heir) obtained the photo before 1976, we need not concern ourselves too much with who it was that originally took the photo - the copyright was transferred with the photo until 1976. -- B ( talk) 01:49, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
Reading the non-free content rules, I can see why it is necessary to delete Neondian1995cover.jpeg , but there is a precedent for including alternative covers if they differ dramatically from the original cover (for example White Light/White Heat, where two covers are included), and I would therefore oppose the deletion of Neondian2006cover.jpeg.

Hi Stefan2, Actually Dazedbythebell and myself were considering migrating File:Meher Baba 12.jpg to Commons. What exactly should the source information be? Where the image was downloaded from?

I saw you have listed the files File:Riverdales 2006.jpg and File:Phase Three 2008.jpg for deletion due to them being redundant extra covers. I disagree that they are redundant, not just because they are different than the original album covers, but the reissues offer different content (be it extra songs or different track listing) and I feel that it is important to offer readers a visual clue to tell the difference between the original album pressings and the reissues. -- Gtandersson ( talk) 16:00, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Dear Stefan:
Please contact Dr. Vladimir Ronin, a professor at Luleå University so that he can discuss this with you directly. You can contact him directly by going to www.emccement.com, and emailing him using the contact form at the foot on the page.
My word is not good enough. You say it "cannot be verified". I want to know if every person who uploads is put through this baptism of fire. My word is my word. Your motive cannot be "verified" but yet, I HAVE to take you on trust.
Seems yet another example whereby Wikipedia does everything it can to aid the "accuser", yet the "accused" cannot question the motives of the very person "attacking" in the first place.
Put simply, I am not questioning your good faith. I am not asking for verification. Yet you persist. Does it not occur to you that the individuals nominating the pictures for deletion may be male fide? Yet they are given the benefit of the doubt. No wonder wikipedia has such a reputation of being such a brutal place: all the rules about fair play (and implying good faith) before before raising an allegation seem to count for nothing. Or has this not occured to you?

Hi, I reduced the size of the image once to what I think is a perfectly reasonable image size. Remember the image is made of two separate game screenshots and thus has to be somewhat bigger overall to be able to see each individual image, I don't think it needs reducing further and I think doing so renders the image too pixelated.

You have apparently deleted the file "CPT 4200 Cassette Tape Selectric Word Processor.png".
I had explained clearly on the form for the image why there was not a good substitute image available and why the use of this image did not conflict with any existing commercial or artistic interests. The images that were offered as substitutes are largely junk, not showing the machine clearly, having missing keys, with the two parts of the machine disjoint, and not showing the typing part of the machine in its original form, as should be depicted in a historical article on the subject. The image I uploaded was taken from a one-page advertising flyer from the early 1970s, not then marked with a copyright notice, and representing a machine that has not been manufactured for over 30 years, produced by a company that ceased operations more than a decade ago.
Not having this image available deprives readers of Wikipedia of a clear idea of what this machine was like. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LehmanUMN ( talk • contribs) 21:12, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
I'm have not seen an actual discussion. I replied to the queries a couple of weeks ago, explained that no suitable substitute was available, then you asserted substitute images were available, then my image was gone. Nobody discussed my points of why the other images were not suitable, or why this one did not infringe other interests. What am I missing? Please point me to the discussion you are referring to.

Hi Stefan,
I wanted to offer an explanation for the image of Alfred Hitchcock from TV Guide that you marked for deletion. I'm not entirely sure where to do so, but I posted the following in the "talk" page concerning the image's deletion. I'm copying what I posted there below:
First of all, this painting appeared on the cover of TV Guide to document Hitchcock's American television show, Alfred Hitchcock Presents. The fact that this ran as the cover of TV Guide shows how important Hitchcock was in his television career, a fact many casual fans are not aware of. Most of all, the image absolutely contributes to an understanding of Hitchcock's macabre career and character. Al Hirschfeld portrayed Hitchcock in green in order to visually represent the macabre subject matter and style for which Hitchcock was known. Therein Hirschfeld had poetic license to capture Hitchcock's character better than any photograph could. The National Portrait Gallery purchased the painting because it is so effective in this regard. Robyn42 (talk) 01:38, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for your kind attention, Robyn42 ( talk) 02:08, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi Stefan,
You are right that the image's relevance is not adequately explained. I think that I should have explained it to begin with in the article. I want to suggest that I could put the following text in the "Television, radio, and books" section, following the discussion that is already there about "Alfred Hitchcock Presents", the television show that the painting is about:
"In 1957, TV Guide commissioned Al Hirschfeld to do a painting of Alfred Hitchcock for their cover. Hirschfeld took this opportunity to portray Hitchcock in green, in keeping with the macabre subject matter and style for which Hitchcock was known. Therein Hirschfeld drew upon a poetic license that no photographer could have taken. The National Portrait Gallery later purchased the painting because it so effectively captured Hitchcock's character and image."
I think that this would add to the information in the article, and would also allow the image to serve an informative purpose as well! Thank you for bringing this to my attention; looking forward to hearing your thoughts! Robyn42 ( talk) 03:44, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Stefan, I noticed your comment over at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2013 April 25#File:Charlotte British Encampment.jpg, and I wanted clarification for my own personal knowledge. Is it your contention that historical markers installed prior to 1978 are in the public domain, and if so, what is your basis for that? I've got several images of historical markers I'd like to use, but want to hold off until this is resolved. Does it make a difference if the marker is installed by a State government as opposed to a nonprofit? Presumably federal historical markers are the property of the U.S. Government, and there would therefore be no copyright. Any direction would be great. Cdtew ( talk) 18:23, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Stefan2 I really can't understand what is the problem with File:Olympiakos4.svg. I edited the "purpose of use" section because I thought I can use the image to a template. I found out that this is against the rules and I reverted my own edit and things went back to where they were. Now you changed my own edit and you state that the issue is still unresolved. Please explain what is the problem. I really can't understand why you nominated the image for deletion since I reverted my unintended mistake. Waiting for your answer, Gtrbolivar ( talk) 21:46, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
As everyone understands, a club's emblem is used to provide identification in all the relevant departments of the parent-club. The image should be used to all Olympiacos' departments. But you tell me that, since it has only one fair use rationale it should be used only in one article. This is inexplicable. In all multi-sport clubs the emblem is used for the identification of the club in all their departments. What is the problem here? What's the difference? And why instead of trying to fix this problem you nominate the image for complete deletion? Waiting for your answer, Gtrbolivar ( talk) 21:59, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of File:1948 Hatzic Pumphouse Breach.jpeg, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not a candidate for speedy deletion. Try WP:PUF instead. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/ Stalk 02:49, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
Exactly what did I do wrong with this file? I'm not exactly sure what my mistake was. Thanks. -- t numbermaniac c 00:33, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
I don't understand what is your problem with this screenshot from a 72 year old movie. You see the image is clearly in public domain in India; in fact, anything published before 1953 is. You see, if you keep deleting the valuable culturally-important images I'm uploading to Wikipedia, I'm not the loser, Wikipedia is. You might observe that Wikiproject India already sucks big time, much of it looks like a rotten bunch of trash full of propaganda, advertising, etc. I am one of the few working to clean this trash. Many of the images even in Commons are of doubtful copyright status and little is done about them and even less, the time spent upon them. It would be better if you can mind your own business and stop harassing me.- Ravi My Tea Kadai 06:09, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
Hello Stefan2. Replies have been posted to your query at the VRT noticeboard. Thank you!
Saw your note. The original document does not carry any copyright. It is a just receipt for donation paid by one of my ancestors. The document is now past 70 years old and no copyright could exist in India, other than for the image created (photograph) by me, which I am not claiming any copyright. So please remove the unfree file notes. Let me know if any action is needed from my side. Thanks. Aaroamal ( talk) 14:25, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
Every file this editor has ever uploaded would appear to have been lifted without permission from another website. I have concerns about a number of .png graphics files he has uploaded claiming "self". I believe you have a method of checking these? If so would you like me to name the files which are suspect?
