I know you probably have a hundred or so of these already, but you really deserve it. Your assistance with various copyright issues at WP:MCQ and WP:PUF is very much appreciated! – Drilnoth ( T/ C) 20:23, 29 July 2011 (UTC) |
I saw you gave User Vitorvicentevalente a barnstar here for his work on Love The Way You Lie Pt 2. I feel quite annoyed because it was actually me who did all the work on the article and I nominated it for GAN, which it passed. And for you to praise someone else who didn't actually contribute to making the article worthy of GA status in the first instance is a bit disheartening. Calvin • 999 23:47, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi Quadell,
Thank you for your help. I have one further question. After I edit the image description, since it is originally my image, do I have to still request for undeletion, as Sfan00_IMG mentions?
Thanks, Ivanalu ( talk) 20:58, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi, Quadell. I haven't pestered you for a copyright opinion on a long time. :D If you're not interested or able to weigh in, please just let me know, but I told the contributor I'd seek further opinions.
Basically, we've got a copyright question where the contributor is seeking feedback to a table he'd like to implement. The listing is at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2011 July 19. I have some concerns that he may be right to worry, since the table is described by its poster as "my personal interpretation and point-of-view", which clearly removes it from the realm of fact. But there are some differences in the table as implemented in the article, and I wanted a second opinion--hopefully from somebody who may be familiar with the subject. :D I've also asked User:Dcoetzee. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:04, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Quadell, thanks for your note. I've only recently (this morning) seen it; and have responded on my talkpage. I agree in part but not fully with my collegue Jed. Some prose is OK; some of it is in commmon use on the TV and in newspaper, but is poor all the same; but not all of it is good. With copyright violations becoming a hot topic at WP:GAN and elsewhere, it would be good if the article was checked against the book used as a source. Perhaps that has been done already, I don't have the book. Sorry this comment does go somewhat go against WP:AGF, but in the worst case, if there are violations the author/publisher could take legal action against wikipedia.

The article will be discussed here until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Jivesh • Talk2Me 11:21, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your thoughtful and thorough review of my nom at Azimzhan Askarov. I've addressed some of the issues you've raised there, possibly all, but I ran out of steam in trying to determine what would be reliable enough sources for expanding the article. To be frank, much of my last few weeks on Wikipedia were spent watching admins drop by DYK to explain why we're all worthless pieces of shit there for not being up enough on these rules (or, in some cases, for bothering to create new content at all), and I'm sorry to say that the experience has soured me enough that it's no longer worth it to me to learn the finer nuances.
Perhaps the article has developed far enough to pass as is; if not, please accept my apology for not seeing this quite through to the end. I'll withdraw my other GANs to avoid wasting anybody else's time in either case. Thanks again, and all the best in your future editing -- Khazar ( talk) 07:08, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
You probably know this, but just in case: [2]
You recently updated the Sudanese copyright template after the independence of the South Sudan. There are similar issues with other such templates concerning the question if government works are PD, this is important if you want to upload the official coats of arms. In most cases this is possible, exceptions are usually only some former british colonies. Unfortunately information about this is not given in the templates, which means that often coats of arms get deleted. In recent months, I collected several country-specific PD-templates which do not provide this information. I already did some research in the several copyright laws (which are easily avaible here), but I also need one here to update the templates:
Can you update them?-- Antemister ( talk) 11:01, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Looking over the DRC copyright code, it appears copyright is honored for 50 years after the death of the author (article 74), or 50 years after the publication of anonymous and pseudonymous works (article 76). Copyright for photographs is 25 years from publication (article 77). I don't see anything that would indicate coats of arms or government insignia are PD. I have made a template at Commons:Template:PD-DRC. – Quadell ( talk) 16:49, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Quadell, since I have seen that you have reviewed 20 GAC, and that you're pretty experienced on the subject, I need some help. Recently I nominated the article Red Headed Stranger to GA. It was listed today, but there was not much feedback from the reviewer, so if you have the time I would like to ask you if you can check it out for a second opinion. I think that any user deserves the benefit of the doubt, but after being reviewed in other GAC's I know that a reviewer has always something to say. Thanks for your time.-- GDuwen Tell me! 00:30, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi, wish you hadn't deleted "File:Albert Schlechten1.jpg" because "File:Albert Schlechten.jpg" was improperly uploaded to commons, it's copyrighted.

There are 2 images I'd like to add to the Ernie Kovacs page. My belief is that both would qualify as PD-pre 1978 based on research done re: provenance of them. One of them is a very rare image, as there are no known copies of the television program itself still in existence. Talking this out would probably take up more room than is fair for one question at Media Copyright Questions. Would you be willing to be my "sounding board" on them? Thanks, We hope ( talk) 01:08, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
Thanks much! Before I went this far with it, I took copies of both images to see if I would be able to remove the watermarks; was able to.
Earliest date stamp on back is 31 May 1951. This places it at Channel 3, Philadelphia (formerly WPTZ-TV). Other research confirms the shot to be from his early morning program, 3 To Get Ready. There are no copyright marks, but auction description contains the following: "All copyrights are owned by The Baltimore Sun or the issuing photo agency." My thought is that the original owner of the image was WPTZ-TV and they did not place copyright markings on it, so this caveat re: Baltimore Sun doesn't apply. They were provided the image by someone else for publicity purposes. The 1977 date stamp would place this as publicity for the PBS special The Best of Ernie Kovacs.
This has an ABC press release on back dated 19 March 1968. It was a publicity photo for the 1968 ABC special The Comedy of Ernie Kovacs. Research indicates the special was made from his 1960-1962 work at ABC. Shortly after his death in 1962, Edie Adams discovered ABC was recording over the tapes of his work in their possession. She used the proceeds of one of his insurance policies to purchase them from ABC; she began her archiving of his work in this way. I believe the owner of the image in 1968 to be Edie Adams, since she was the owner of the videotapes at the time; they were used by ABC for the special with her permission. The auction description says: "All copyrights are owned by The Baltimore Sun or the issuing photo agency." Don't believe the newspaper could be considered a copyright owner here as again, the image was provided to them by someone else for publicity purposes. The provider placed no copyright marks on it.
Why I'm anxious to get them as PD pre 1978 is because Kovacs' work was so highly visual and most of what we have of him are non-free files. Most of what's available would also be non-free images. It would be difficult to be able to "give up" one or two of the non-free images on the article for these, as I think we might be gaining something but also losing something in the process. Thanks again! We hope ( talk) 15:43, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Quadell, I'm here again to ask for your help to give another opinion to a nomination (hope I'm not being too insistent).

Hi, what's the status of an image that scanned from a book? There are two files in our Wikipedia ( Image:67letter.gif & Image:67letter-1.gif) and are disputed about their copyright. These images was published in a book (about 20 years ago) for the first time. Can we use it as a Non-free content image? If yes, so we can copy two pages of any books as a non-free content? (PS: This is a hand-wrote letter of a person who was died 20 years ago and someone have published it in his book was died 2 years ago) Thanks a lot & I appreciate your help. -- ?MehranVB? ?talk | ?mail 08:24, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
Hello Quadell. I don't think we've ever interacted on WP. I'm involved with a rather difficult dispute over an interpretation of NPOV. Two editors are now claiming that there is already consensus for their position and say that they are unwilling to even discuss the issue any further. I don't think there is any consensus, but none of us are able to assess that with the objectivity of an uninvolved person, so I'm looking to find an uninvolved admin. Would you be willing to lend your assistance? Thanks, Jakew ( talk) 16:15, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks much! Before I went this far with it, I took copies of both images to see if I would be able to remove the watermarks; was able to.
Earliest date stamp on back is 31 May 1951. This places it at Channel 3, Philadelphia (formerly WPTZ-TV). Other research confirms the shot to be from his early morning program, 3 To Get Ready. There are no copyright marks, but auction description contains the following: "All copyrights are owned by The Baltimore Sun or the issuing photo agency." My thought is that the original owner of the image was WPTZ-TV and they did not place copyright markings on it, so this caveat re: Baltimore Sun doesn't apply. They were provided the image by someone else for publicity purposes. The 1977 date stamp would place this as publicity for the PBS special The Best of Ernie Kovacs.
This has an ABC press release on back dated 19 March 1968. It was a publicity photo for the 1968 ABC special The Comedy of Ernie Kovacs. Research indicates the special was made from his 1960-1962 work at ABC. Shortly after his death in 1962, Edie Adams discovered ABC was recording over the tapes of his work in their possession. She used the proceeds of one of his insurance policies to purchase them from ABC; she began her archiving of his work in this way. I believe the owner of the image in 1968 to be Edie Adams, since she was the owner of the videotapes at the time; they were used by ABC for the special with her permission. The auction description says: "All copyrights are owned by The Baltimore Sun or the issuing photo agency." Don't believe the newspaper could be considered a copyright owner here as again, the image was provided to them by someone else for publicity purposes. The provider placed no copyright marks on it.
Why I'm anxious to get them as PD pre 1978 is because Kovacs' work was so highly visual and most of what we have of him are non-free files. Most of what's available would also be non-free images. It would be difficult to be able to "give up" one or two of the non-free images on the article for these, as I think we might be gaining something but also losing something in the process. Thanks again! We hope ( talk) 15:43, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

. Explain that they are publicity photos and were first published in [whatever year] when they were copied and distributed to news organizations without a copyright notice. All the best, –

For doing a lot to keep Wikipedia running, including keeping WP:MCQ from disintegrating. Wehwalt ( talk) 00:41, 13 August 2011 (UTC) |
Thanks for jumping in on that GA nom. I thought I'd have more time this week, but real-life work got crazy. -- Coemgenus ( talk) 12:13, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for reviewing the article. The paraphrasing thing is always tricky when there are very few sources. I'll try and address the issues within the next week. Frickeg ( talk) 23:01, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi Quadell, I'm here again to ask for your help to give another opinion to a nomination (hope I'm not being too insistent). The article needs a second opinion to determine the changes to be made, since the original reviewer has been involved pretty much on it. Thanks for your help!-- GDuwen Tell me! 15:55, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi, what's the status of an image that scanned from a book? There are two files in our Wikipedia ( Image:67letter.gif & Image:67letter-1.gif) and are disputed about their copyright. These images was published in a book (about 20 years ago) for the first time. Can we use it as a Non-free content image? If yes, so we can copy two pages of any books as a non-free content? (PS: This is a hand-wrote letter of a person who was died 20 years ago and someone have published it in his book was died 2 years ago) Thanks a lot & I appreciate your help. -- ?MehranVB? ?talk | ?mail 08:24, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
Hello Quadell. I don't think we've ever interacted on WP. I'm involved with a rather difficult dispute over an interpretation of NPOV. Two editors are now claiming that there is already consensus for their position and say that they are unwilling to even discuss the issue any further. I don't think there is any consensus, but none of us are able to assess that with the objectivity of an uninvolved person, so I'm looking to find an uninvolved admin. Would you be willing to lend your assistance? Thanks, Jakew ( talk) 16:15, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

On 18 August 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Anneliese von Oettingen, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that ballet teacher Anneliese von Oettingen was featured in Sports Illustrated for training professional football players at her ballet school? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Anneliese von Oettingen. If you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
