Your VFC installation method is deprecated

edit

Hello 朝彦, we are aware that using the old installation method of VFC (via common.js, which you are using) may not work reliably anymore and can break other scripts as well. A detailed explanation can be found here. Important: To prevent problems please remove the old VFC installation code from your common.js and instead enable the VFC gadget in your preferences. Thanks! --VFC devs (q) 16:24, 22 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Greetings,

The newsletter omitted two interwiki prefixes, breaking the links on non-meta wikis as you might see above. Here are the correct links:

  1. m:Research:Curation workflows on Wikimedia Commons—a project that seeks to understand the current workflows of Commons contributors who curate media (categorize it, delete it, link to it from other projects, etc.).
  2. m:Research:Technical needs of external re-users of Commons media—soliciting feedback from individuals and organizations that re-use Commons content outside of Wikimedia projects, in order to understand their current painpoints and unmet needs.

Structured Data - file captions coming this week (January 2019)

edit

My apologies if this is a duplicate message for you, it is being sent to multiple lists which you may be signed up for.

Hi all, following up on last month's announcement...

Multilingual file captions will be released this week, on either Wednesday, 9 January or Thursday, 10 January 2019. Captions are a feature to add short, translatable descriptions to files. Here's some links you might want to look follow before the release, if you haven't already:

  1. Read over the help page for using captions - I wrote the page on mediawiki.org because captions are available for any MediaWiki user, feel free to host/modify a copy of the page here on Commons.
  2. Test out using captions on Beta Commons.
  3. Leave feedback about the test on the captions test talk page, if you have anything you'd like to say prior to release.

Additionally, there will be an IRC office hour on Thursday, 10 January with the Structured Data team to talk about file captions, as well as anything else the community may be interested in. Date/time conversion, as well as a link to join, are on Meta.

Thanks for your time, I look forward to seeing those who can make it to the IRC office hour on Thursday. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:09, 7 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Structured Data - blogs posted in Wikimedia Space

edit

There are two separate blog entries for Structured Data on Commons posted to Wikimedia Space that are of interest:

  • Working with Structured Data on Commons: A Status Report, by Lucas Werkmeister, discusses some ways that editors can work with structured data. Topics include tools that have been written or modified for structured data, in addition to future plans for tools and querying services.
  • Structured Data on Commons - A Blog Series, written by me, is a five-part posting that covers the basics of the software and features that were built to make structured data happen. The series is meant to be friendly to those who may have some knowledge of Commons, but may not know much about the structured data project.
I hope these are informative and useful, comments and questions are welcome. All the blogs offer a comment feature, and you can log in with your Wikimedia account using oAuth. I look forward to seeing some posts over there. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:33, 23 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

日本の肖像権について

edit

お世話になります。私は過日、この削除依頼を存続で終了して閉じました。理由は日本では私人と私人においてはいわゆる被撮影者の「肖像権」も認められますが、撮影者の「表現の自由」も認められており、私人による写真撮影を違法とした判例は「侵害行為の態様が悪質であること」、「撮影された姿態が本人の名誉感情を害する内容であること」、「本人の合理的な期待を害した」ことなどに限られているからです(参照)。そして最高裁の平成17年11月10日の判決も「人はみだりに自己の容ぼう,姿態を撮影されないということについて法律上保護されるべき人格的利益を有し,ある者の容ぼう,姿態をその承諾なく撮影することが不法行為法上違法となるかどうかは,被撮影者の社会的地位,撮影された被撮影者の活動内容,撮影の場所,撮影の目的,撮影の態様,撮影の必要性等を総合考慮して,被撮影者の上記人格的利益の侵害が社会生活上受忍すべき限度を超えるものといえるかどうかを判断して決すべきである。」と判示しております(最高裁判例)

しかしながら、Commons:Country specific consent requirementsを確認したところ、日本の該当部分にはこの判例については全く触れられていませんでした。履歴を見たところ当該編集は朝彦さんが行われたものであることを確認しましたので質問に伺いました。平成17年11月10日付最高裁判例を朝彦さんが記載しなかったのは何か理由がお有りのことと思います。肖像権について最高裁判決を否定するような解釈が専門家から成されていたのでしょうか? この判例が載っていないのでは他の日本法を知らない管理者が誤った判断をしてしまうものと危惧しています。--Y.haruo (talk) 17:49, 28 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

お世話になっております。おっしゃる点は "Yes (with exceptions)" の exceptions として記載したつもりです。特に私が参考にした資料は Country specific consent requirements 中で引用した通りで、いまはリンク切れになっておりますがこちらにアーカイブされており、「表現行為が社会の正当な関心事であること、その表現内容、表現方法が不当でないこと、の二つの要件が整うときは、無断で撮影したり、写真を利用しても肖像権の侵害にはならない」という点を英語にして書いたつもりでおります。提示された最高裁判例もおおむね同じ趣旨のことを述べているといるように思われますので、その内容を否定する書き方をしたつもりではありません。ただ、平成17年判例も直に引用してよりその点を強調すべきだともし思われるとすれば、私もそれに異論があるものではありません。よろしくお願いいたします。 --朝彦 | asahiko (talk) 13:02, 29 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
確かに日本写真家協会の主張をまとめられたものではありますが、この主張は最判の判示とは稍ズレがあります。判示では受忍限度を上回るかどうかに重きを置いており、写真の公表に付き明示的な許可を必要としていません。実際に不法とされたのは、手錠と腰縄を付けられた被疑者の名誉を毀損する写真や絵であり、質問に応じる被疑者の絵などは被疑者の許可を得ていないにも関わらず不法とはされておりません。"the photographer must inform the subject the exact manner and purpose to publish and obtain explicit permission." とする協会の主張とは異なるもののように思われます。逆にこの判示を知らない人々からしたら、1969年の最判が上部に示されている以上、日本写真家協会の主張は「法的根拠の乏しい撮影する側の主張」であると受け止められることも有り得ると思います。私は撮影者の「表現の自由」の存在、違法とされた判例の具体的な例示及び平成17年最判の記載が、Country specific consent requirementsにおいて日本法の現況を理解する上で必須であると考えております。これに付き、朝彦さんの考えを求めたく思います。もし、これを是認くださるのなら英語力の乏しい私に変わって加筆しては頂けないでしょうか?--Y.haruo (talk) 10:23, 30 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
勉強不足なものでして、私の考えと呼べるほどのものはございません。日本語交じりでも結構ですのでもしどこかに下書きか、あるいは改訂すべき点の主旨を書いてくだされば、それを英語にすることくらいは容易ですが・・・。放り投げるようで恐縮ですが、よろしくお願いいたします。とりあえず、1969年判例よりもむしろH17判例を主に引用する、などでしょうか? 朝彦 | asahiko (talk) 12:27, 30 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
無理なお願いにもかかわらず、前向きな返答を頂き有り難く思います。具体的な文案について下に示してみました。"but this right is generally regarded as its Japanese equivalent."以降に以下の文面を追加するのはどうでしょうか。(太字の部分が加筆部分)

This ruling deferred to name this right "the right of portrait (肖像権)", but this right is generally regarded as its Japanese equivalent. この判決は、警察官が正当な理由も無いのに個人の容ぼう等を撮影することは憲法一三条の趣旨に反し許されない。と判示していました。これは撮影者が公権力の場合にのみ機能する、被撮影者の一般的自由を保護するものと解釈されています。肖像情報に関する権利利益の諸相 斉藤邦史

撮影者が私人である場合には憲法二十一条に定める「表現の自由」が撮影者に発生します。このため、当事者の一方だけが自由に関する権利を持っているのではないので、『肖像権』は制限されます。 平成17年11月10日最高裁判例(民集 第59巻9号2428頁掲載)では、「人はみだりに自己の容ぼう,姿態を撮影されないということについて法律上保護されるべき人格的利益を有し,ある者の容ぼう,姿態をその承諾なく撮影することが不法行為法上違法となるかどうかは,被撮影者の社会的地位,撮影された被撮影者の活動内容,撮影の場所,撮影の目的,撮影の態様,撮影の必要性等を総合考慮して,被撮影者の上記人格的利益の侵害が社会生活上受忍すべき限度を超えるものといえるかどうかを判断して決すべきである。」と判示しています。この判決では、写真週刊誌の記者が、刑事事件の被疑者が手錠や腰縄を付されて拘束されている状態の盗撮写真やイラストを公表することは違法と判断しました。一方、法廷において訴訟関係人から資料を見せられている状態や、手振りを交えて話しているような状態を描いたイラストを写真週刊誌に掲載して公表した行為については、違法性を否定しています。写真撮影を違法とした理由は「侵害行為の態様が悪質であること」、「撮影された姿態が本人の名誉感情を害する内容であること」、「本人の合理的な期待を害したこと」を総合的に考慮したものです。この様に撮影者が私人におけるケースでは、社会的に許容しうる一定の限界を超える場合かどうかを判断しなければなりません。肖像情報に関する権利利益の諸相 斉藤邦史

According to an article by the Japan Professional Photographers Society, ~

以上が私の文案となります。よろしくお願いいたします。--Y.haruo (talk) 07:30, 1 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Y.haruo: 遅くなり申し訳ありません。Y.haruo様の方で先月翻訳された内容を確認しました。前からあった文と合わせてより全体像が見えやすくなるよう、私の方からも少し編集を入れましたので、ご確認いただければ幸いです。--朝彦 | asahiko (talk) 09:43, 3 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
加筆修正頂き誠にありがとうございます。これにより英語話者の方にも日本法の現状が理解し易くなったものと思います。1点気になるところがありまして質問させてください。私が引用した平成17年最判の英文ですが"the the photographed activity,"となっておりました。2つ目の"the"は誤植だと思うのですが、最高裁判所のホームページでは"the the"となっている為、そのままの記載としましたが修正した方がよいのでしょうか?--Y.haruo (talk) 21:26, 3 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
ありがとうございます。引用は引用なので、{{Sic}}(原文ママ)を入れました。--朝彦 | asahiko (talk) 07:05, 4 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
