File:Eo circle blue letter-r ARQ.svg[edit]

This file was initially tagged by AntiCompositeBot as no license (User:AntiCompositeBot/NoLicense/tag). There is presently no license tag, but this is a trivially simple logo more or less everywhere except the U.K., and I think it's under COM:TOO.

File:Herb and Sarge.jpg[edit]

Likely copyright violation. Appears to be a photograph (the uploader's?) of another photograph which was taken decades ago (the subject died in the 90s). Likely a photograph of some archived photograph owned by someone other than the uploader. Dan Leonard (talk) 04:05, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The license of the image can be seen clearly in the website of the political party this candidate represents: EH Bildu. The license is cc-by-sa (not specificed 3.0 or 4.0) as stated in the footer. Now I can't go back, because the website is poorly designed and doesn't have an archive button, but the image authorship and license is clear from them.

Queda prohibido reproducir, transmitir, modificar o suprimir la información, contenido o advertencias de esta web sin la previa autorización por escrito de EUSKAL HERRIA BILDU."

It is prohibited to reproduce, transmit, modify or delete the information, content or warnings on this website without the prior written authorization of EUSKAL HERRIA BILDU."). It is not clear what does the footer mean, but it is in clear contradiction with the website's specific legal advice and should be interpreted restrictively. Where can we find than this image in particular has a cc-by-sa license? Because that's not made clear from the link you provide nor from the website itself.

File:Chinese-Urdu Collaboration.tif[edit]

This file was initially tagged by Minorax as no permission (No permission since)

The file format is en:tiff and based on the EXIF data, it was probably created by the uploader. It also appears to be a proposed logo for the meta:Chinese-Urdu Community Collaboration project and it is in scope. SCP-2000 13:49, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It might possibly be the most ridiculous speedy deletion I have ever seen. That file is a TIFF file with all drawing layers and sized 1.7MB where there should be no reason to exclude it as an original file. I uploaded the original file and released it per CC BY-SA 4.0.

File:Color Line logo.svg[edit]

The juxtaposition, colorization and varying lengths of the wave patterns are clearly a result of creative choices. Asav | Talk 16:12, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The Norwegian IP-register have a registered trademark here covering the grapical parts, and for the words "Color Line" as wordmark here. If there was no originality in the marks it would not be anything for IP-protection. --Andrez1 (talk) 15:03, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I believe this logo is simple enough to meet both COM:TOO#Norway and TOO in USA. The fact that there is a registered trademark does not mean that the file is copyrightable, and it does not mean that we can not have it on commons. I have added the {{Trademark}} template to this file. Tholme (talk) 18:53, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The fact that this is a registered trademark in Norway does imply that the graphical pattern is complex enough to be copyrighed. Same applies to the words. If generic, simple or not defended, there would be a risk of beeing unable to register or loose registration. The Commons file is a mix of two copyrighted trademarks. It is in that respect not _a_ trademark. Andrez1 (talk) 23:17, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Files in Category:Postcards of Hochsauerlandkreis[edit]

These four files, apparently showing older German postcards, were uploaded without naming an author or a source other than just "old postcard" or "old postcard before World War II". So while three of them are said to be from 1939 (or earlier), the fourth could be even much later, like the 1950s or the 1960s.

The license tags used for the uploads, {{PD-Germany-§134-KUG}} and {{Not-PD-US-URAA}}, are not correct. Not-PD-US-URAA is not allowed for new files uploaded after 1 March 2012. And PD-Germany-§134-KUG does not apply because the photographs were not "published before 1966 by a German legal entity under public law without indicating an author" (or in the very unlikely case that they were, there is no evidence at all to support it).

1939 or the 1950s/1060s is much too late for {{PD-old-assumed}}, and while some people like to claim quickly that such photos are "anonymous" or there was "no author disclosure" or something like that, we cannot even determine if that is actually the case without knowing when and how they were published first. So without any information about first publication or even just the year in which they were taken we cannot determine their copyright status, and the files should be deleted.

Es handelt sich um Postkarten die ich kaufte. Bei Wikipedia sind Tausende Postkarten unter {{PD-old-assumed}} veröffentlicht. Dort ist die Sachlage genauso wie bei diesen. Willst Du sie alle löschen? Der Verlag Fotohandlung W. Vieth Hachen, von dem die Postkarten gedruckt wurden, gibt es nicht mehr. Zumindest sind im Internet nur einige Postkarten der Firma zu finden.--Falkmart (talk) 09:06, 31 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Dass du sie gekauft hast, hat keinen Einfluss auf die urheberrechtliche Bewertung, und dass es den Verlag nicht mehr gibt, auch nicht. PD-old-assumed ist für Werke, die mindestens 120 Jahre alt sind, und das ist hier wie oben geschrieben nicht der Fall. --Rosenzweig τ 15:14, 31 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:1948 Archbold Cape York Expedition December 8, 1947 to December 4, 1948 (IA 1948archboldcap00brasa).pdf[edit]

A 1948 item cannot be a pre 1928 publication, Furthermore such items at IA are under an incompatible NC clause. I didn't see an obvious notice in the first few pages however. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 17:41, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]


  •  Comment. There is no copyright notice, but is this actually a 1948 publication? It was made in 1948, but these are just typed up field notes. You can see hand corrections at various parts of the manuscript. I don't know that this was ever distributed in a meaningful way until it was digitized. The author died in the 1970s, so it doesn't meet the US unpublished PMA threshold of 1954. IronGargoyle (talk) 15:10, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Delete. I think that these field notes would qualify as a work made for hire for the Museum (which funded the expedition), in which case they are copyrighted until the earlier of 95 years from publication (which would be 2017, when they were uploaded to BHL under an incompatible CC license) or 120 years from creation (1948), and thus until 1948+120+1=2069. If the writer of the notes is considered to be the copyright holder, then the copyright expires in 2042 (as he died in 1971). TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 22:56, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
