File:Ecoute Screenshot.jpeg ( delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Cartoon network freak ( notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

Bringing this here for WP:NFCCP #3a and #8. There is already a fair use image of the album cover on the article which identifies the song. So it seems like this is unnecessary and therefore would violate 3a as there is more than the minimum number of items necessary. It is also just a screenshot from the music video. It does not add any contextual significance that I can see. Its omission would not be detrimental to the understanding of the article on the song. So it would seem like it can't be used.

The public domain-ness of this image is in question. The reasoning is certainly false. Just because something is on display doesn't 'make it public domain. But that doesn't mean it actually isn't in the public domain due to age. Which is why I am bringing it here. Perhaps {{ PD-URAA}}? I'm not all that familiar with Russian copyright.

I'm not sure what is going on with this file - it was deleted by @ TLSuda: following a community discussion at Wikipedia:Possibly_unfree_files/2014_January_13#File:Brymptonboat.gif. The Commons copy was also deleted as a result of discussion at Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Brymptonboat.gif.

• Comment - there seems to have been a discussion on TLSuda's talk page here. Kelly ^hi! 12:04, 8 September 2016 (UTC) reply

So you found the discussion and I'm sure you read it. As I said at the time, the uploader--a terrifically well-established editor--says his great-granddad took it and it is obviously a very old photo. Do you doubt that? What's the concern? Jonathunder ( talk) 12:50, 8 September 2016 (UTC) reply

The concern was stated by @ Stefan2: in the previous discussion, and agreed with by TLSuda (and me, incidentally). Process-wise, this should probably have been taken to WP:DRV if you disagreed with the policy basis of the closure rather than simply reversing it. Putting that aside, WP policy is to require evidence for copyright claims, see for instance WP:F11. Kelly ^hi! 13:02, 8 September 2016 (UTC) reply

So how, exactly, is @ Giano: expected to get permission from his deceased ancestor who took this ancient photograph? When does common sense apply? Jonathunder ( talk) 13:21, 8 September 2016 (UTC) reply

In this case, we're not seeking "permission" but evidence of copyright status. Kelly ^hi! 13:36, 8 September 2016 (UTC) reply

The evidence of copyright status is that Giano has told you that his great-grandfather, who died in 1918, took the photograph. As Nikkimaria has carefully explained in the previous discussion, that makes the image {{ PD-US-unpublished}} which is perfectly sufficient to meet copyright concerns on the English Wikipedia. If you have any evidence that what Giano says is not true, let's hear it. -- RexxS ( talk) 17:23, 8 September 2016 (UTC) reply

To be eligible for {{ PD-US-unpublished}} it must have been created prior to 1896 if the author is anonymous or unknown. Kelly ^hi! 17:38, 8 September 2016 (UTC) reply

Yes, we know that. But what part of "Giano's great-grandfather" is equivalent to "anonymous or unknown" on the planet where you live? Or are you casting doubts on Giano's parentage? -- RexxS ( talk) 19:25, 8 September 2016 (UTC) reply

Not anonymous or unknown? What is the photographer's name?^{{ rhetorical question - Kelly hi! 14:02, 9 September 2016 (UTC))} How could the status be verified per WP:V? Kelly ^hi! 20:59, 8 September 2016 (UTC) reply

Let me give you a warning about WP:OUTING. If you make any further requests for Giano's family name, I'll ask for administrative action to have you blocked. @ Bishonen, Iridescent, and Drmies: - just as a heads-up for now. Now, with that out of the way, let's call the photographer "Great-grandfather Calogero". He died in 1918 and that is more than 70 years ago, which is all that's needed for PD-US-unpublished. WP:V (which is a policy for article content, btw, not images) does not require that everybody can verify a fact, only that somebody can. You already have Giano's verification that Calogero took the photograph around 1900 and died in 1918. I don't see any more reason to insist on greater detail than that, considering we take every uploader's word for it when they place a {{ PD-self}} template on their images. -- RexxS ( talk) 21:16, 8 September 2016 (UTC) reply

Stop being so dramatic. I'm not asking for Giano's real name, I'm demonstrating that the author is in fact, anonymous. I'll note that in TLSuda's talk page discussion, TLSuda offered a way for the copyright to be verified anonymously via OTRS ticket, one which Bishonen apparently thought was reasonable. This offer was met with insults and childish behavior. So be it, but without verifiable authorship information, the photo has to be treated as non-free under the precautionary principle. Copyright policy applies to everyone who edits here. Kelly ^hi! 21:53, 8 September 2016 (UTC) reply

That method of "verification" would still require AGF: even assuming that the name provided is unique enough to verify through other avenues that they did indeed die in 1918, that wouldn't prove that they took the photo. How is that any more "verifiable" than Giano saying "my great-grandfather who died in 1918 took this"? Nikkimaria ( talk) 22:25, 8 September 2016 (UTC) reply

If Giano was trying to "put one over on us", he could have plausibly said "taken by my great-grandfather around 1885" and we'd have none of this rigmarole. But because he tried to be as honest as possible, as well as accurate, he gave his best estimate of the date and explained that as his great-grandfather's heir, he believed now owned the copyright. Why on earth would we all accept an inaccurate 1885 date without blinking, but insist on questioning the bona fides of a longstanding, valued contributor when he's been as open as anyone could be? -- RexxS ( talk) 23:03, 8 September 2016 (UTC) reply

• Comment As the building no longer exists, an alternative solution would be to license it as {{ non-free historic image}} and write a non-free use rationale. Kelly ^hi! 17:45, 8 September 2016 (UTC) reply
• Keep as {{ PD-US-unpublished}}. We don't require people verify "per WP:V" that they are the photographer of an image claimed as {{ PD-self}}, etc unless there is reasonable cause to believe that they aren't, because we respect the rights of contributors to remain anonymous/pseudonymous. In this case, revealing the name of the photographer could reasonably result in the loss of an editor's anonymity, and thus far no one has presented any evidence to suggest that the editor is lying about the photographer's date of death. Nikkimaria ( talk) 22:13, 8 September 2016 (UTC) reply

  Nobody has to present evidence that the "editor is lying". Per WP:IUP the uploader must be able to prove the public domain claim. It's analogous to requiring a citation for a claim made in text. We don't allow anyone to disregard that requirement even if they are a longstanding editor. If the uploader declines to provide proof, that's OK, but the photo would then be treated as non-free. Kelly ^hi! 05:30, 9 September 2016 (UTC) reply

  (Responding per ping above) Kelly, that's a seriously warped reading of policy and a serious jettisoning of WP:AGF. Yes, I'm aware you're an admin at Commons, but you're not at Commons now and our rules, customs and practices are considerably less wild-west. Both policy and practice have always been that we assume uploaders are telling the truth about the origins of whatever file they're uploading unless it can either be demonstrated to the contrary (usually by showing that the file has been lifted from elsewhere), or shown that there are strong grounds for suspicion (a photo which has clearly been taken at a venue or event to which the claimed photographer could not have had access, watermarking of some kind showing someone else claiming copyright, etc). The Wikipedia Community has no way of knowing that I took File:Bruce Castle toilets.JPG myself and haven't downloaded it from a "public toilets on the grounds of English country houses" fan-site, but assumes that I'm telling the truth, and this situation is exactly analogous. You appear to be operating on the presumption that image uploaders are lying about the origins of images unless they can demonstrate to your (unreasonable) definition of 'proof' that they're not. I'd very strongly urge you to drop this particular stick; Giano would be quite within his rights to challenge this deletion all the way, and your default position of assuming bad faith, coupled with an attempt to force an anonymous editor to disclose their identity (and before you start accusing me of being "dramatic" as well, What is the photographer's name? is a direct quote from you), is not a position which would survive scrutiny by Arbcom. ‑  Iridescent 10:19, 9 September 2016 (UTC) reply

  @ Iridescent: Before you file your ArbCom request, you might want to read this article. Kelly ^hi! 13:54, 9 September 2016 (UTC) reply

  Kelly, I think you'll find Iridescent already knows what rhetorical means. Please be aware that refactoring your comments to add "rhetorical question" after other editors have commented on it could be considered as "gaming the system". Fortunately many of us will AGF about that. Nevertheless, if you want to make sure other editors take your question as rhetorical, you're going to have to add the rider a bit sooner than 17 hours after asking it. -- RexxS ( talk) 18:17, 9 September 2016 (UTC):Ad reply

This historic photo from 1962 is highly unlikely to be the uploader's own work as stated. The uploader's other images have the same questionable provenance as being his own work. I was able to find sources online for a couple of them and nominated for F9 speedy deletion. Here are the remainder:

Just a note that some of the photos might have been public domain - an image from 1940 would likely to have been public domain if it was published before 1987, also perhaps ones from the 1950s, someone should check first before deleting. Hzh ( talk) 18:24, 29 September 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete all These are definitely not the uploader's "own work". For example, File:Touring of Jurong Industrial Estate.jpg has a watermark showing it was taken from the National Archives of Singapore (NAS) website. As far as I know NAS requires explicit permission even if the copyright status is not known. It is possible that the other images without a watermark were reproductions of the NAS images published in other media (which had taken permission). The one image from 1940, I am not sure what is the source or even if it is authentic. As such, I think delete is a safe option. I also think the uploader should be warned. -- Lemongirl942 ( talk) 14:05, 10 November 2016 (UTC) reply

No FOP in Nepal. See c:COM:FOP#Nepal. Image is 3D artwork (a Nepalese medal) so we would need the permission of the artist. Majora ( talk) 22:28, 8 September 2016 (UTC) reply

I have removed the photo. ( talk

I commissioned the medal and gave the copyright to Mountain Legacy. You could ask Dr. Kumar Mainali (president of Mountain Legacy) for permission: <email removed> Seth Sicroff — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sicroff ( talk • contribs) 22:58, 8 September 2016 (UTC) reply

@ Sicroff: It is not our job to ask permission to use it. That burden is on the uploader. Please see WP:COPYREQ and have the artist fill out a WP:CONSENT form and sent it into OTRS. -- Majora ( talk) 23:00, 8 September 2016 (UTC) reply

( talk Dear Marjora:

Thank you for your follow-up on this issue. I have a feeling there is some misunderstanding about the legalities of this "artwork."

First of all, the artist does not own the medal that was photographed. He made a sketch. He sold me the copyright (i.e. all rights) to the sketch; he is in Kathmandu or Dolpo (a remove district of Nepal where he resides) and does not regularly use email or the Internet. I will not ask him for permission, as the sketch is mine for whatever use I choose to make of it, and asking for permission would imply otherwise. The sketch has been used as the basis for production of eight copies of the Hillary Medal by silversmiths in Kathmandu, Nepal. The silversmiths have no claim to past products they made according to their customers' instructions, and also have no right to make further copies except by my order. I doubt very much that you have permission slips on file from either the sketcher or the striker of the Nobel medal, or any other trophy or prize on Wikipedia.

To be clear, when I say I gave the copyright to Mountain Legacy, I meant only that this is my intention. We members of Mountain Legacy do not traffic in written copyright forms. I am the director of the Hillary Medal project, and make medals as they are needed. If and when I resign my position, the next director will have full authority to carry on production of Hillary Medals. You need to understand that we are dealing with a prize that originates in Nepal. There is no office of patents or copyrights that would possibly get involved in such an issue.

Finally, I would hazard a guess that the situation is quite similar in the United States. If a jeweler makes me an engagement ring according to my instructions, even helping with the design (be it ever so fancy or artistic) does he have any residual rights to the use of a photo I might take of that ring? I'm pretty sure that purchase of the piece entails full and complete possession.

If you are adamant about your objection, and there is no one to whom I may appeal your decision, I will remove the photo. Or the entire article. Frankly, I am pretty discouraged by the tenor and substance of feedback I have gotten regarding my work so far.

PS When I credit Tenzin Nurbu with the "sketch" of the Medal, perhaps I should emphasize that his sketch was based directly on a rough sketch and verbal instructions that I gave him. Were it not for the traditional nature of the story behind the sketch, I would say that the concept behind the art is mine, particularly when linked to a prize for contributions to natural and cultural conservation in mountainous regions. I do appreciate Wikipedia's punctilious approach to legal matters that might entail exposure to litigation, but in this case, your worries are entirely misplaced. The photo was made by and is owned by me, the object was designed and commissioned by me, I am project director for the program that dispenses copies of this medal. I have given my permission. This should not be a close call. Please don't obstruct for the sake of obstruction.

Dear Majora,

I'm still waiting for a resolution on my Hillary Medal article. I removed the photo you objected to, despite the fact that I own full rights to the photo and the object illustrated. Is there something else I need to do to? Sorry if my markup is defective. I have not been able to figure out how to use the talk pages correctly. Sicroff ( talk) 08:42, 24 September 2016 (UTC)Sicroff reply

• Hold for now as we have an assertion of copyright ownership to the design. I'll work with Sicroff to get through the OTRS process as appropriate. Deryck C. 10:12, 20 October 2016 (UTC) reply
