Hello, we are a agency working for Arden Automobilbau GmbH and Burg Zelem. We are editing and uploading the pictures in the name of the said companies. So I would be very thankful, if the media doesn't get deleted. I will add the source "Arden Automobilbau GmbH" on every marked pricture.
Thank you very much!

Hi @Centralize: Because it is not obvious from your user name that you are representing that company, please send an E-Mail to COM:VRT to confirm that. Then that attribution can be stored in our archives and it is clear that you had the right to upload them. Please do not add watermarks to the images, that is discouraged here.

  • I don't know anything about licence or attribution and I do understand that these things are important, but I would request that if it can't be fixed, we hang on until it is replaced by something similar- people really do want something like this that gives a relative picture of the big TNO's to get perpective on Pluto not being a planet etc.

Exoplanetaryscience (talk) 06:06, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • To be honest, I've started to dislike this graphic because it relied on inaccurate artists' impressions that were made long before we found out about the properties of these TNOs. For example Quaoar, which was originally colored blue in the 2002 NASA/Caltech press release and then later being crudely recolored a pinkish-red in a 2004 NASA/Caltech press release. Although it attempts to depict Quaoar's "reddish" color, the depiction is still inaccurate—what "reddish" really means is a dark beige color to the human eye, resembling the true color image of Pluto. All the other "red" TNOs depicted in this graphic are also exaggerated: Gonggong, Sedna, and Makemake appear far too red instead of beige. If you're wondering how I know this, the true colors are derived from the TNOs' visible color indices and spectra with the help of my friend's "True Color Tools" software. With the recent news of the true color of Neptune and @CactiStaccingCrane: 's (and my) efforts in using them across Wikipedia, I feel that depicting true colors is necessary to dispel any misconceptions about these astronomical objects.
True colors aside, I also don't like how the phases of the objects are inconsistent. It's not possible to fix this if you only use publicly available artist's impressions; there aren't enough of them out there. With all these issues I've pointed out, I think it's better to recreate this graphic from scratch—I'll be the one to do it. My plan here is to hand-draw the objects digitally—I have some experience with digital art. I'll try to have the new version depict the ten TNOs' latest true colors, albedos, dimensions, and predicted/known surface features. I'll make sure to provide links to the scientific papers justifying the illustrated details in the file description. Nrco0e (talk) 05:15, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

"Street installation with photos of the kidnapped - Iron Swords War 2023" distorted images[edit]

These are copies of File:Street installation with photos of the kidnapped - Iron Swords War 2023 33.jpg and File:Street installation with photos of the kidnapped - Iron Swords War 2023 36.jpg, but digitally distorted (color/brightness balance). They are unused and unlikely to be used in light of the unedited versions (33 and 36), and the distortions add no educational value.

Well you have a point there, not arguing about this but just as a brief note to consider:
things like that are (and especially will be) easily correctable using img2img&txt2img editing and a new revision could be uploaded over the imperfect image which could be tagged with Template:Bad AI. I just haven't got much of a handle of the post-generation editing (btw maybe somebody else has) where one can e.g. use inpainting to regenerate only the hand so that the image doesn't only visualize the concept but is also free of any 'bugs' so to say.

    Why? Commons:Project scope/Summary#Must be realistically useful for an educational purpose. IMO this is an image that if seen some places on social media might get a reaction "that looks cool" but that is not a reason for it to be on Commons. IMO it is no more in scope than make believe flags of make believe countries that some people create for their own amusement and sometimes mistakenly believe should be uploaded to Commons. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 15:52, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Okay but above I just explained at least one use-case for which this image is useful: illustrating the genre 'science fantasy' and an approach of it.
    Whether or not such images get such social media feedback is irrelevant but if anything would further support the case that this is useful and matches human evaluations of quality, subject relevance, and usefulness.
    Lots of other images that you supported to be within scope would seem to rather utterly fail this definition if this image doesn't even make it where I'd then ask why these, for which neither a use-case has been elaborated nor is clear, are within scope and this one is outside the scope. This one would clearly meet this quote and that scope policy since there is at least one realistic usefulness case for an educational purpose and, going even further than what the policy, there are nearly no other available images here that could be used for that purpose. Prototyperspective (talk) 17:17, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    IMO any old 20th century pulp cover would be a much better and appropriate illustration of the genre "Science fantasy", even if the artwork was mediocre, for the simple reason that it was created to illustrate actual published science fantasy. Commons has a fair sized collection of such illustrations already. We clearly have different perspectives on this (as is evident from your uploading this file). Cheers. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 21:19, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Yes and why can't there be pulp covers as well as images showing contents in high resolution? Why do you need to delete everything that you think is not as appropriate for illustration? I consider this far more appropriate especially when considering that those covers don't even show any science fantasy and are basically near useless for illustration (except as in 'this magazine had science fantasy contents' which is not an illustration). And no, WMC doesn't have that. That it's on WMC doesn't mean it has to be used on WP. Policies don't matter it seems, what matters is the subjective opinions of DR voters.

Originally tagged speedy by Silent Wind of Doom with the rationale: "Images of sports uniforms have been ruled fair use as per this discussion."

The images appear to be original works, but derivative of the actual uniforms worn by the players. Some of these uniform designs appear to consist solely of common property shapes (regular clothing and simple geometry), colors, and text. Others may have more complicated designs and should be considered for deletion.

Guanaco (talk) 09:08, 19 April 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Huh. Deletion requests look so different on Commons than the main site.
I was notified about a discussion happening there about my uniform images. A recent (at the time) U.S. Supreme Court decision, namely on the case Star Athletica v. Varsity Brands, the design elements of a uniform are subject to copyright. As such, the designs of these uniforms are under copyright by their teams, their leagues, and the various manufacturers, whether it be Majestic, Reebok, or New Era.
The discussion came to the consensus of properly licensing uniform images as non-free sports uniforms with rationale and to remove them from Commons. As someone disrupted the ordered file names for the uniforms, and to be more precise, I reuploaded the files under new names, properly licensed them, and tagged the Commons images for deletion as per the discussion ruling them non-free. The ones that weren't moved have already been speedy deleted under request of creator. --Silent Wind of Doom (talk) 21:47, 19 April 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Silent Wind of Doom: The decision about Commons images has to be made on Commons, as this wiki is autonomous. It may be more expedient to standardize and host local copies on English Wikipedia as fair use. However on Commons, we should follow the Supreme Court's ruling and apply the test to each image: "[A] feature incorporated into the design of a useful article is eligible for copyright protection only if the feature (1) can be perceived as a two- or three-dimensional work of art separate from the useful article and (2) would qualify as a protectable pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work—either on its own or fixed in some other tangible medium of expression—if it were imagined separately from the useful article into which it is incorporated." The court did not address whether they met the threshold of originality, so we can evaluate these in the manner of simple vs. complex logos. Guanaco (talk) 04:40, 20 April 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • User:Silent Wind of Doom, you seem to misunderstand how copyright works. For a picture of a uniform, there are two copyrights:
    1. The copyright of the design of the uniform. However, per COM:TOO, some minimal originality is required, and if the design is too simple, then the design is not protected by copyright and so pictures of those designs can be posted to Commons and shouldn't be listed as unfree on English Wikipedia. The designs listed in this deletion request look very simple, although it could be debated that a few of them maybe are sufficiently complex.
    2. The copyright of the picture itself. The person who makes a drawing of a uniform needs to choose a free licence for his contribution to the image. This is the case even if the design of the uniform is copyrighted, and images which are uploaded to English Wikipedia without a free licence chosen by the artist get deleted per w:WP:FREER. --Stefan2 (talk) 10:04, 4 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Files nominated as speedy delete by Sturm

This file was initially tagged by Sturm as Speedy (speedy delete) and the most recent rationale was: No inside pictures are / were allowed. Per COM:FOP Brazil this should be fine, definitely no speedy deletion case.

 Delete I was personally in charge of this photowalk. Although we were allowed to photograph, we were asked, a posteriori, that the photos were not uploaded to Commons. Among all other participants, we agreed not to upload these pictures. Sturm (talk) 20:09, 12 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Delete as above. I have uploaded most of the images and we have agreed to delete them at the request of church's maintainers. ━ ALBERTOLEONCIO Who, me? 00:15, 13 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Keep Aren't we past the courtesy takedown period, at this point we have to rely on copyright and FOP laws. I see nothing that would violate privacy, I see images of floor tiles and stairs, and walls. I think the church should file an official takedown notice and explain why these images should be hidden from view. That way we have the name of an official from the church, and not possibly some random parishioner complaining about privacy, that does not represent the view of church council. I would assume most churches would want a visual inventory of their interiors in case of theft, vandalism, or catastrophic destruction. --RAN (talk) 12:38, 13 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Delete I also attended to this event and I have heard about the conversation with the Father responsable for the church. He was emphatic about not publishing the photos of the interior of the church. Here is the thing: the Father contacted us with this request after the photowalk; in the meantime, some pictures were uploaded. Moreover, as much as I know about the scenario of cultural heritage in Brazil (I have studied the issue for more than 10 years now), most churches in rural areas do not disseminate their interiors and their collections because these buildings are settled in the middle of nowhere and have no security systems neither watchmen. The cases of robbery, fire and other vandalism are too many in Brazil. We must avoid wikis to be the reason for other losses... Sintegrity (talk) 01:13, 14 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Comment I'm shocked those images aren't being hidden, pending the results of an appeal. As for this, the analogy I'd give is that we often grant courtesy deletions to uploaders well beyond the official period when they are allowed to reconsider their uploads on Creative Commons licensing. Let's hide these photos as a courtesy deletion for the church. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:17, 16 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Noting here that I converted these from speedy deletion nominations by Omphalographer as I felt that COM:CSD#G1 didn't apply to any of them, and no speedy criterion applied to most of them. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 01:59, 23 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
All of these files are Wikipedia pages printed to PDF, then uploaded to Commons. My take is that they're "redundant content [...] used for testing" (CSD G1) - they're redundant to the Wikipedia pages they were printed from, and they were most likely created as a result of the user messing around with the "download as PDF" and "upload file" sidebar links, rather than as a deliberate process. I can certainly send these to DR in the future if that'd be preferred. Omphalographer (talk) 02:40, 23 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@D-Kuru, if it doesn't meet the requirements of Wikimedia, I'm fine with deletion. Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:19, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Omnis Scientia: The issue is that only freely licenced material is allowed on Wikimedia Commons (local Wikipedia project may differ). Freely licenced material are files that are already in the public domain or copyrighted material that are published by the author or the copyright holder under a free licence. You as the uploader has to check and ensure that your file follows these guidelines. --D-Kuru (talk) 11:25, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@D-Kuru, I will keep this in mind. I don't tend to upload images because I struggle to understand which license applies where. I uploaded this one for an article I'm working on and I found this program image on numerous sites (not just baseballhall.org - which I used as the source), including on e-commerce sites.
If you don't mind, would you guide me as to which license, if any, could apply here? If none does then I would support the nomination. Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:31, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Omnis Scientia: In general all material is protected by copyright and it's reuse is prohibited unless you are allowed to do so. A file can be in the public domain due to age (last famous example would be the very first Mikey Mouse clip), but this would more than likely not apply here since it's not old enough (usually it's author's year of death + 70 years). A file can also be published under a free licence by it's author or copyright holder. This could apply here, however I see no indication for that. Just because the file is used on multiple websites does not mean that it's freely licenced. You have to check the source website if there is any note on that. The only indication I could find on the website is that the file is copyrighted (and therefore not freely licenced). Information on a website with a freely licenced file could look like this image on flickr: On the right side you see a Some rights reserved note which links you to the webpage of a Creative Commons licence that tells you what you are allowed to do and which restrictions apply to this image. Since I have no idea where information about copyright for this image could be found I can only help you that far. If you find a different note, I can check if there is a licence on Commons that can be applied here. --D-Kuru (talk) 11:43, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@D-Kuru, I will take a look and get back to you if I can find one with a different note. And thank you for your help; much appreciated! Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:49, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Works by Dandolo Bellini[edit]

These works were created by the Italian artist Dandolo Bellini, who died in 1982. According with Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Italy, copyright lasts for the author's life and for until 70 years after his death. Previously these files were tagged with {{PD-Italy}}, but that clause applies only for "simple photograhs" and Dandolo Bellini's works doesn't look to be photographs, but watercolors or engravings. We can undelete these files in 2053, when 70 years since Bellini's death had been passed. 83.61.247.43 15:03, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hoi @Samy Dury, Uit de foto die u bedoeld kon ik niet de indruk wekken dat die zelf gemaakt is. Mocht u zelf toch de fotograaf hiervan zijn dan raad ik u aan contact op nemen met VRT door een mail te schrijven naar: permissions-nl@wikimedia.org .
Hier bekijken ze dan uw vraag of de foto toch op Commons mag staan en er de juiste toestemmingen aan verleend kan worden.
Voor de zekerheid kan je altijd al je bezwaren, bewijzen en uitleg over de foto meesturen die ervoor zorgen dat de foto er op mag komen staan.
Ik zou de foto (of de titel: File:Benderbij tegenover Luka van LS Nieuws.jpg ) dan voor de zekerheid meesturen.
Echter wil ik wel benadrukken dat ik niet de behandelaar van jou casus dan ben omdat ik simpelweg niet tot dat team behoor.
Meer informatie kan je bijvoorbeeld ook op https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contactpunt/Mijn_eigen_afbeelding terug te vinden.
ps: dit overleg vind nu plaats op een pagina van een afbeelding waar je vraag niet over gaat voor de volgende keer kan je dit beter op de overlegpagina van de betreffende foto of nominator/verwijderaar stellen als het bestand al is verwijderd.
Ik hoop je voldoende te hebben geinformeerd bij vragen of verdere antwoorden, mag je me altijd een bericht sturen. (Dit kan ook op Nlwiki onder dezelfde naam :).)
