Hello together,
I found some good images for Wikipedia, such as those on the pulmonary atresia page. I read their disclaimer about the use of Agency Material and learned that most, but not all, of their images are public domain. I'm a bit confused and would appreciate help in determining whether I am allowed to upload these and other images from the CDC to Commons and if I may crop them so that the logo isn't visible anymore. – Tobias ( talk) 17:10, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Working through files with unclear URAA status, I came across File:Gela Seksztajn - photo.jpg. As far as I can tell, this image would be public domain in the US only if it can be considered "published" by Polish standards of the time, and either was published without a copyright notice or anonymously, or by a photographer who died in 1943 or earlier. The author given on the file page is in fact the subject, which is implausible as the photographer. Does anyone know what we or Commons usually do with such photos from Poland that come from an archive? Pinging Jarekt and Piotrus for their familiarity with Polish copyright law.

I created screenshots of the character Andromeda (based on the mythology) from Clash of the Titans (2010) and Wrath of the Titans (2012), but I've yet to upload suitable ones. I have been assuming that free pics of actresses at Andromeda (mythology)#In film would suffice, but one editor would seem happier to use non-free screenshots instead. I honestly have doubts about screenshots' compliance with NFCC.
Re-reading the passage, as I figured, most readers would already recognize what the passage is describing without non-free content. Furthermore, the "Analysis" section would be already clear to most readers without non-free screenshots. I could be wrong, nonetheless. (I don't wanna say what exact matter is, but I hope it is figured out without me naming or describing exact issue.) The same matter about (portrayal and depiction of) Andromeda herself was discussed at FFD discussion. George Ho ( talk) 09:51, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello. Is there any potential derivative work problem for Patrickroque01's File:Plaza Miranda Mercury LED billboard (Quezon Blvd., Quiapo, Manila)(2017-12-31).jpg? It is an LED screen that (in ordinary days) broadcasts promotional material and adverts of Mercury Drug found at Plaza Miranda. Unsure if this is OK to be locally hosted here, as U.S. law (which English Wikipedia solely respects) is typically more restrictive in terms of foreign non-architectural works (foreign, that is, non-U.S. works), though I am only familiar with longer U.S. copyright terms for artistic works like public monuments (95+1 years from publication for pre-1978, 70 years after sculptor's death since 1978). I'm not sure for the U.S. copyright terms of non-U.S. audio-visual works like the thing that the LED screen broadcasts). JWilz12345 ( Talk| Contrib's.) 00:15, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi there! I'm looking to upload an image for La Blouse Roumaine and I found one listed under Public Domain here. However, when I go to upload the image the only option for Creative Commons 1.0 license is one stating I own the image (which I do not). Am I missing something here?

if, by chanceyou had such a connection. It was a good-faith enquiry, but I apologize if it seemed otherwise. Maybe, you could've assume that a "more experienced" editor wasn't acting in bad faith by asking such a thing. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 06:20, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

File:Conduct An Introduction to Moral Philosophy.jpg seems to be nothing more than a red/reddish square, even according to its source. Is there something wrong with the file? It doesn't seem to be anything that would be need to be treated as non-free; however, this could be the same book. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 09:05, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello everyone, a few weeks ago I created " I Think I", a single by South Korean boy band Super Junior. Usually there's a person that adds the cover of the singles to the infobox but apparently it hasn't been added yet, hence why I am thinking of trying to upload the image cover myself.
Is this qualifies under fair use and would it be safe for me to add? https://superjunior-jp.net/en/news/detail.php?id=1077758

Hello! I recently uploaded a product pic under non-free use rationale but I got error msg it will get deleted within few days. Can anyone please explain what I need to do to the file to not get deleted? File:Orrb device by Lee McCormack.jpg Does this file doesnot fall under non-free use or I can upload this pic in commons please suggest and help urgently.
Thanks in advance. Techy.Sap ( talk) 10:18, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
@ Techy.Sap: the issue here is that, as the object is a physical product that presumably still exists and/or is sold, there's nothing stopping someone taking a new image of one (either that they own or that is being demonstrated etc), and releasing it under a free licence, so WP:NFCC#1 isn't met. If this isn't the case, I'll happily reconsider. it's the same reason we use actual photos of cars, rather than promotional photos of them. Mdann52 ( talk) 14:46, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
