Deb Haaland Image is MY IMAGE, I CREATED IT

I used WIKICOMMONS to upload this image that I made of Congresswoman Deb Haaland on 6-23-2019 in my studio with my wet plate collodion camera. I uploaded the image to be shared freely. During this process, I listed myself as the owner and the date I took the image. I am confused by all of this. This image is my intellectual property created with my own hands at the request of the Congresswoman, I have complete rights to this image and have uploaded it as such. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Balkowitsch (talk • contribs) 14:40, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

  •  Support This was tagged with {{No source}} but all required information was present at the time including the {{Own}} remark as a source. Granted, the image does look like a historical photography, but if there was any doubt about the original authorship, a regular deletion request should have been filed instead of ignoring the source information already provided. @JuTa and Ytoyoda: FYI. De728631 (talk) 22:15, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
@De728631: @Balkowitsch: I don’t remember the details of the file, but based on this thread and the deletion discussion for the user’s other contributions, it looks like I was too hasty in adding the {{No source}} tag, so I apologize for that. No objection to restoring the image. Ytoyoda (talk) 01:15, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello community,

Please undelete these files as they are available for the public to use and are willing provided by the Scholten4Iowa campaign to be redistributed for information purposes. Also JD Scholten is a public figure who has been covered in multiple large US media publications for his now 2nd campaign race against Steve King in Iowa 4th USA congressional district. These photos are on his public website https://www.scholten4iowa.com --Sanity0050 (talk) 05:14, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

File:King's College London crest.jpg

Unnecessary deletion. Several coats of arms are featured without issue and are not taken down due to potential unoriginality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AcquiescentContribution (talk • contribs) 11:10, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

 Info This may be about Commons:Deletion requests/File:King's College London crest.png. Thuresson (talk) 11:22, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
  •  Oppose The rendition of the arms in File:King's College London crest.png is exactly the same as in these documents from the King's College where the original uploader at Commons, Merlaysamuel, is not credited: page 5, page 2. This badge also shows exactly the same arms. So there is a possibility that this design is old and out of copyright, but we would need evidence for it. Or Merlaysamuel has provided the college with his own design before uploading it here, which I find less likely. De728631 (talk) 21:05, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

@Wikiauthor11: Proper author/date/country of creation information should be supplied to determine copyrights status and license tags corrected was the deletion reason and this information is still needed in order to undelete.We doubt the uploader was the photographer as they claimed. BTW, as you are not the uploader, we also doubt if you are able to provide this information...

File:Narva mnt 78.JPG

Because Jcb deleted it in violation of 7 day deadline set in deletion policy and is too stubborn to admit their mistake and undelete it themself. See User talk:Jcb#File:Narva mnt 78.JPG. Pikne 14:33, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

 Oppose - uploader simply removed the {no source} tag instead of adding a source, so it's actually the uploader who is violation policy. Uploader has about 9k edits, so they must be well aware what they are doing. Admins have better things to do than keeping track of problem tags while uploader is trying to prevent deletion by removing the problem tag. Nothing to gain here either, uploader is apparently unwilling/unable to add proper source information. Jcb (talk) 14:37, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
@Pikne: Where can we find information about the photo author and source? It is required to undelete. Ankry (talk) 16:39, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
We are still waiting for uploader to reply and clarify. Deadline for this was set to be September 5th. At this point the problem is that file was deleted ahead of time and uploader wasn't given enough opportunity to make things right. Due to this mess, I believe it's fair if the 7 day period will be reset now. If we fail to acquire explcit source info in this period then of course I wouldn't oppose deletion.
I add that 9k edits mentioned above is misleading as very little part of it is on Commons, and of this little part most of their uploads are imported to Commons by other people. While the no source tag should not have been merely removed, there is little reason to believe it was done in malice, rather than so that uploader just isn't familiar with what exactly needs to be done and how to fill in information template properly. Not to mention there may be a language barrier. Jcb on the other hand should know better and they quite clearly exercise bad faith.
Instead of handing out intimidating warning, which is what Jcb did, I've instructed the uploader what exactly needs to be done in order to sort this out. So I'm still quite positive there's a good chance that we'll have explicit source info soon enough. Pikne 05:46, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Alright, uploader replied to my enquiry. They say that they either did add or intended to add their username and real name (in parentheses) to author field. I can't check myself at the moment, but if it's true that they added this information then it must have been clear that uploader is the author and then deletion was even more lame. So we should be able to restore the file and fill in the source field in accordance with uploader's response. Pikne 07:29, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

@Pikne: The uploader added a name in the Author field and removes the "No source" template instead of providing the source or declaring {{Own}} (The "Source" field was left empty). The latter was definitely not the expected behaviour of an advanced Commons contributor (as Jcb pointed out above). However, I tend to  Support temporary undeletion per AGF to allow the uploader to fix the problem (however, for future, it would be better if the necessary file information is provided before import; this need not be necessarily in English). Ankry (talk) 11:30, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

File:Lena-ccc-wikipedia-rgb555.png

File:Lena-ccc-wikipedia-rgb555.png was deleted even though it's considered fair use ( for its widespread use in image processing journal articles ) and is used on Wikimedia / Wikipedia where it is described as copyrighted but covered under fair use. This is a version of the Color Cell Compression algorithm applied to the original "Lena" file ==

This file, at least according to its Wikipedia and Wikimedia talk pages and info pages, is copyrighted, but available to use because it falls under fair use. It has been widely used in image processing journal articles as a standard test image since the 1970s. There is no reason that this file should have been deleted. It is an example of a version of the Color Cell Compression algorithm applied to the "Lena" standard test image, which is also available on the commons, which conflicts with the view of the editor who deleted this file. Also, there is another "Lena-derived" CCC compressed image which I had uploaded to the Commons which was *not* deleted, which contradicts the views of the editor who deleted this file.

According to the client, he's the original photographer for 1, 2, 3 and 4, and the photographs 5 and 6 were taken more than 70 years ago, so acording to Portuguese Law they are currently in the public domain. Please restore in order to verified veracity and finish the process. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 21:21, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

@Ganímedes: Temprarily undeleted: 1-4 as requested (however they do not seem to be photos), 5 as this seems a photo from 1920s. The File:Busto_marques_da_silva.jpg contains a monyment with a 1954 date on it. I doubt the photo to be 70 years old and moreover I doubt that it was PD in Portugal in 1996 (required to be PD in US). Please confirm if you still need its undeletion.
Marked as {{Temporarily undeleted}} to have 7 days for adding required information. Ankry (talk) 10:16, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

@JAPIC1: In most legal systems, copyright transfer requires a contract. If you have such a contract, you can provide it to our OTRS system, see COM:OTRS. If the copyright holder is not the photographer, we need an evidence for this.

@Lshholding: First, any logo uploaded as {{Own}} is either copyright violation or out of scope. This template means that the uploaded art is exclusive personal copyright of the uploader and was never published before. Unused logos are out of scope. For used logo, as for any image used outside Commons prior to upload, we need either free license evidence from the initial publication site, or free license permission from the logo exclusive copyright holder sent to us following COM:OTRS instructions. This also applies to any corporate (non-personal) ownership. The exceptions are very simple, generally text-only logos that are not copyrightable because of being below TOO or very old logos that copyright has already expired.

 Question As I can read, {{PD-SlovakGov}} applies to text documents only. Am I missing something? Ankry (talk) 10:22, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: most of coats of arms of Slovakia on Commons misses license or derives from a webpage. For example these files or these files (svg) or these files. Is it OK? Can I download any coats of arms of Slovakia from webpages and upload to Commons? If yes, who can determine the license. What are criterions to stay these files on Commons? --Regasterios (talk) 18:38, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
I cannot help you. You should ask somebody who knows Slovak copyright law. This template suggests, that Slovak coat of arms are copyrighted. So the possibility to upload should be checked on case by case basis (when created, when first pblished, anybody granted a free license). But I may be wrong. Ankry (talk) 19:07, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

If this is correct and reflected literally in copyright law, then, maybe, the template needs to be updated? But this should be discussed in COM:VPC, not here. Ankry (talk) 23:05, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

@Aymatth2: what's your opinion? --Regasterios (talk) 19:10, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

According to WIPO the current law is Act No. 185/2015 Coll. on Copyright and Related Rights (as amended by Act No. 125/2016 Coll.) The unofficial WIPO translation here, section 5d, says "The following concepts are not subject to copyright: ... d) state symbol, municipality symbol, symbol of self-governing region; this does not apply to a work which formed ground for creating of such symbol,". I would say that {{PD-SlovakGov}} should be updated to reflect the current law, not the former 2003 law. Assuming the deleted images were issued by the government (not prior works on which they were based) and fit this definition they should be restored. Aymatth2 (talk) 19:31, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Files uploaded by Golbez

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: These were deleted out of process, among other reasons not to delete them. Castillo blanco (talk · contribs) tagged them as needing sources on August 28; I promptly added a source. Yesterday, they retagged them with the date of August 28 which seems highly improper. Then an admin came along and, without checking when the notice was added, deleted them. I would undelete these myself were I an uninvolved admin, but obviously I'm involved. Golbez (talk) 16:55, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

Also a note that I was not notified of the retagging, which also seems highly improper. --Golbez (talk) 16:56, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
 Oppose - unless you provide proper source information. You did not add a source. The retagging was not improper, the only thing that was improper here is that you removed the problem tags from your own uploads without providing proper source information. You admitted that the files were DW, but you left the false own work claim in place. I did check the history before I deleted the files and I also saw the discussion at User talk:Castillo blanco, where it turns out that you lack proper understanding of the difference between derivative work and own work. Especially for somebody who is an admin, you should really familiarize yourself better with copyright. Jcb (talk) 20:30, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
The outline of the shorelines and modern borders adapted from public domain maps of non-copyrightable geography. I disagree that even counts as "derivative", and I definitely disagree that it needs to be sourced. Furthermore, to require me to accurately source it would require the deletion of every map I've uploaded here, not to mention all the derivative and viral works based on them. So, go for it. Commit. --Golbez (talk) 21:43, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

 Support as deleted based on false claims and misconception on what is a derivative (work). As uploader explicitly states that these files are their own work, then they actually do have a source. No evidence is provided that it's other than what the uploader says.

Derivative in sense of copyright is a work based on another creative (copyrightable) work. Any data, set of facts etc., that a work may be based on, is not a creative work. While a map may be a creative work and it may include creative elements of another work, then there is barely any reason to think that this is the case for these maps. These simple maps showing boundaries may be based on pretty much any other map that presents the same information. If it cannot be shown that these maps take elements of another particular creative work, then they are not derivative works and there should be no reasonable doubt that someone's copyrights are being violated. Moreover, COM:DW#Maps covers that elements such as boundaries and colours generally cannot be copyrighted. Even if we do consider colours or placement of texts copyrightable in these maps then, as above, no evidence is provided that it isn't uploaders own work as they claim.

While data used for similar maps may be protected as part of a spatial database, then database rights are distinct from copyright. We don't apply restrictions based on non-copyright rights on Commons, see COM:NCR#Database rights.

Also, even if there was evidence that similar simple boundary map is derived from another creative work, then own work and derivative work are not necessarily in contradiction. In fact, even those a few user-created maps that do list some sort of source data on Commons, are still usually marked as own work, using e.g. {{own}}, {{own based}}, {{attrib}}.

I see that over past a few years Jcb has nominated over 100 maps via deletion requests using the same false claims. Some, such as Commons:Deletion requests/File:2005 Iranian presidential election results.png, have been kept, others, such as Commons:Deletion requests/File:Trujillo, Valle, Colombia (ubicación).PNG where closing admin apparently falls for false claim, are deleted. I have no idea how many more maps have been deleted in similar manner without regular deletion request. If you really want to be more restrictive than usual regarding maps (make exception to COM:NCR, or whatever), then I believe there should be some wider discussion beforehand. Instead going after almost all maps on Commons one by one in this deceitful manner is becoming more and more disturbing. Pikne 12:26, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

The vast majority of admins does not ignore the fact that maps are in principle eligible for copyright protection. That's why almost all such DRs result in deletion by many different admins, just because almost all of them follow our policies correctly. Jcb (talk) 15:48, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
Contrary to what you imply, I said that "map may be a creative work", i.e. there certainly are maps that are eligible for copyright protection. The issue here are certain elements on simple maps, such as boundaries that per an actual policy referred above are generally not copyrightable. Pikne 06:16, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
  • These would be better as *.svg files with layers so they can be recycled and adapted. It would also help if there was an explanation in the caption what the red lines are for and the red shaded areas are meant to represent. If there was a caption in the articles they are now severed from them. RAN 16:41, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
  •  Support from what I can see. Yes, maps are copyrightable. If the outlines were slavishly copied from another map, including all the little contours, it would be a derivative work -- but if just the outlines were generally traced, with different approximated lines, there was really no expression copied so it would not be derivative. The general shape of the U.S. is not copyrightable. And if it was a truly PD source, there is no (U.S.) legal requirement to cite the source. If you can find a copyrighted source map of which it is an obvious copy, that would be different. There are many PD sources of maps, and it seems reasonable to assume good faith that one of those was used (if it is even derivative). Generally, it's the contents of the map (what additional elements are shown, and where they are placed) that are more copyrightable than the outlines. The Compendium says, Similarly, maps that consist solely of public domain elements, common elements, or elements that contain no original compilation authorship are not registrable, such as an outline map of the United States containing nothing more than the names of the state capitals. So the Office doesn't really consider a basic outline map of the United States as copyrightable in the first place, and that is probably all we have here. The uploader added more elements, and "own work" is clearly appropriate for those. The odds are the outline aspect is not really important copyright-wise here, and we should not be deleting over stuff like that. If we find a copyrighted source map which is very very close (or it's a pure outline map with lots of detail), it would worth reconsidering, but in this case it just looks like a general outline map of the U.S. which at this point is probably PD-ineligible. I doubt a source is required, copyright-wise. It's always helpful to add if known, but it's not always a requirement. Carl Lindberg (talk) 05:13, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

The specific DR for "File:Anonymous (art).jpg" is Commons:Deletion requests/File:Anonymous (art).jpg. -- Asclepias (talk) 11:06, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
Wait a minute... In both cases, it doesn't seem to be direct copies but original artworks inspired by other artworks. I'm not sure DW applies. At least, File:King Kong (illustration).jpg should have deserved a DR, instead of a speedy deletion without discussion. --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 09:13, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
The file contains strict copyright notice: this is enough for speedy. If somebody decides to copy original work including details like copyright notice, this is not just inspiration. Ankry (talk) 22:36, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: Do you mean Christopher DOMBRES himself uploaded his files with strict copyright notices ?! I don't see such a thing here nor here. --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 08:01, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
There is a clear copyright notice by "Dino De Laurentis Corporation" here, just below the "Kong" word. IMO, it is enough for us to consider the image non-free. The other one was deleted on community consensus as DW. Do not mix the cases, please. Ankry (talk) 05:44, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: I don't really "mix the cases", or I just do because they are the only two files by Christopher Dombres that have been deleted. But I can split the requests if you prefer so. --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 15:36, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

File:King Kong (illustration).jpg

It's quite clear that this work makes fun on the kitsch aspect of the 1976 version of King Kong, so I would say the copyright notice by "Dino De Laurentis Corporation" could only be an ironic sentence. Do we have any original file that would lead us to think it's a too direct copy/parody? Where is the hypothetical original file? In any case, it would have deserved a DR, and not a speedy deletion, since this case is not obvious. --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 15:36, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

 Oppose per copyright notice on the image. At least explanation from the artist and/or from "Dino De Laurentis Corporation" is needed in order to undelete the file. Such a notice is a valid speedy deletion reason. Ankry (talk) 17:08, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
I ask again : if it is a DW, what is the original work ? It's hard to determine it's a DW if we don't even know any original work from which it's supposed to be a copy of!!! --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 13:55, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
Unless the uploader (Christopher DOMBRES) created all this by himself, it is a derivative work, even if we don't know what is the original source. Regards, Yann (talk) 15:10, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

File:Anonymous (art).jpg

"The other one was deleted on community consensus as DW" > there was no debate for this DR, just someone lauching it and another user closing it as deleted. I don't really call that a "community consensus". The file is inspired by two different works, but it seems to me that it doesn't fall in the DW rules. When the creative originality is strong enough, it's not a strict DW. The DR deserves to be relaunched with a better discussion. --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 15:36, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

 Oppose per Commons:Deletion requests/File:Anonymous (art).jpg. Anybody is free to provide here arguments why it is not a DW. And not "creative originality" should be strong enough, but similarity to the original work must be low enough to reject DW rationale. DWs may be extremely creative: they are still DWs (they just have more authors). Ankry (talk) 17:08, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
Then I suppose there are many many other files that we should delete on Commons, including within Category:Art works after other art works, for instance some of those... --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 14:00, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

File:Pete Holmes performing at Meltdown.jpg

Please restore the following pages:

Reason:

  1. There is a Kevin T. Porter in real life. He's a comedian. His instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kevintporter/ .
  2. This KTP had many photos similar or identical to the deleted ones on instagram: go backward from this.
  3. Instagram strips EXIF so we cant really know what camera it is, but on the flickr account https://www.flickr.com/photos/91857696@N07/ , everything was Sony NEX-5N.
  4. All the deleted ones are Sony NEX-5N.

  • Mexico so life plus 50 applies for files this old, undeletion looks right. The related DR relied on a PD-US-unpublished counterargument, which misses the point. @Taivo: as deleting admin. --Fæ (talk) 14:23, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
Per {{PD-Mexico}}, there's not 50, but 100 years after death. Taivo (talk) 14:25, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
@Taivo: Please check the copyright guidelines again, for Mexico we state "The above does not apply to works that were already in the public domain before 23 July 2003. Generally speaking, that means works created by someone who had died before 1952 are in the public domain, since they died 30 years before the non-retroactive extension to life plus 50 years was implemented on 12 January 1982"; ref Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Consolidated list Central America and Mexico#Mexico.
BTW, your response here makes me wonder if the rough and not necessarily correct rule of thumb that Mexico = 100 years, has resulted in lots of similar unnecessary deletions of public domain works. --Fæ (talk) 16:13, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
@Fæ: Why Mexico? w:Alfredo Ramos Martínez is clear; he lived in Los Angeles, USA, between 1930 and death. The source country is the United States.--Prosfilaes (talk) 21:16, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
If the Wikipedia article shows that this particular work was created in the USA, rather than created in Mexico and transported at some later point to the USA, then sure, maybe USA IP law applies, and life 70 seems logical, so PD in 2016. To be honest, I don't automatically rely on a Wikipedia summary. --Fæ (talk) 10:34, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
I think checking Wikipedia is at least better than just randomly guessing what the source nation is and telling other people they missed the point based on your gut.--Prosfilaes (talk) 17:52, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
Let's be honest, I have not seen any verification that the 1932 date is anything more than an estimate, nor any real verification that the work was created in the USA, rather than just before the artist moved to the USA. Is there a source specifically for this painting that unabiguously confirms the date and country it was created in? --Fæ (talk) 20:12, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
Which means we should take the more conservative of the two countries.--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:22, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
  • COM:PRP says we can't just shrug at these things. The exact standard is up for discussion, but HathiTrust turns up at least three works about Alfredo Ramos Martínez, all before 2002, and any of those could have been the first publication of this work. The uploader doesn't seem to have done any searching to establish non-publication.--Prosfilaes (talk) 21:16, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
  •  Question As Mexico copyright is irrelevant here, @Wmpearl: can you provide any evidence why this particular image may be free? Any evidence for {{PD-US-unpublished}}, {{PD-US-no notice}} or {{PD-US-not renewed}}? The example image from Phoenix Art Museum fits the Fair Use requirements, IMO. So it is not a good example. Some information about history of this particular painting or its presents in exhibitions would also be welcome. If no further information is provided, I think we have no other choice except closing this as {{Not done}}. Ankry (talk) 11:42, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
  • Undelete I believe the file should be undeleted. No evidence has been presented of its having been previously published. Documenting a previous publication is relatively easy, compared to proving that an artwork has never been published, which is impossible. Hiart (talk) 01:28, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
  • That's not how Commons has worked. Proving that something is public domain has always been the job of the uploader. If proving an artwork is unpublished to a reasonable standard is impossible, then we shouldn't be accepting PD-US-unpublished as an acceptable license. There will be cases where a work is clearly newly published and thus clearly PD-US-unpublished. How much research is necessary to establish that it hasn't been published is up for question, but I think at least the known collections of the author's work should be checked.--Prosfilaes (talk) 02:15, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
  • Undelete, it is virtually impossible to conceive of circumstances where this particular work, estimated to have been created in 1932, was not exhibited multiple times in the USA during the subsequent decade of the artist's popularity. There is no evidence at all that the artist kept this work locked out of sight in a trunk and never publicly exhibited the work or on the other hand that the artist's estate later renewed copyright for this particular work. Public exhibition counts as first publication under US IP law, so let's just presume that happened unless there's some weird story out there of a relative discovering a secret attic full of works post mortem. --Fæ (talk) 10:57, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
    • Exhibitions where people weren't allowed to take photos or sketchings of the work wouldn't have made this published. Most galleries or museums of recent art aren't real fans of photography. There's no evidence at all that Bambi or Casablanca were renewed either, and won't be as long no one actually looks at the copyright renewal notices. This is all speculation, and generous speculation at that; it seems quite conceivable that it is still covered by copyright.--Prosfilaes (talk) 17:52, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
@Prosfilaes: Could you provide a link that shows that under US IP law a public exhibition which was not recorded as allowing "photos or sketchings" does not count as being made public? My prior understanding from several discussions on interpretations of the US copyright act was not this. BTW, comparisons of this artist's paintings to very well known films is not helpful, it's more like making a parody of how copyright works for old paintings where the artist has been dead for over 70 years. I feel certain that were I to pull a list of 100 American painters that died in the 1940s, you would not start a purge of their works from Commons, yet that is what you appear to be doing for this single case. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 18:21, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
See s:Letter_Edged_in_Black_Press,_Inc._v._Public_Building_Commission_of_Chicago#Defendant's_Claim_That_Display_of_the_Maquette_did_not_Constitute_General_Publication, which cites American Tobacco Co. v. Werckmeister (1907).
So you believe that Walt Disney has more of a right to copyright than other people? Copyright in the US for old paintings works similarly to the way that copyright for old books does, which means that dead for 70 years is irrelevant, unless it's actually been unpublished through 2002.
I went through Category:PD-US-unpublished and nominated a bunch of paintings that were from US painters post-1923, as you can see from Commons:Deletion_requests/Archive/2019/08/20. I will probably continue this task once this is resolved. This is not a singular case by any means.--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:22, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
As you are aware, film copyright is based on all credits for the film, not one artist, nor a production company. Comparing this artist's paintings to famous films with literally hundreds of people contributing to their creation is inappropriate. If you wish to draw a comparison, then do so to other long dead painters.
Thanks for the American Tobacco Co. v. Werckmeister reference, however the case was way, way, way back in 1907. It's hardly a good interpretation of the wording of copyright act, 1976, unless the 1976 act specifically refers to it. The current US copyright act simply includes this unqualified statement under the definition of "publication" - "display it at a place open to the public or at any place where a substantial number of persons outside of a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances is gathered". --Fæ (talk) 15:31, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
As you apparently aren't aware, pre-1978 US copyright in films was based solely on the production company. It doesn't matter; you are basically disputing that paintings can be renewed at all.
That's a particularly careless reading of the US copyright act. What it (17 U.S. Code § 101) actually says is:
“Publication” is the distribution of copies or phonorecords of a work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending. The offering to distribute copies or phonorecords to a group of persons for purposes of further distribution, public performance, or public display, constitutes publication. A public performance or display of a work does not of itself constitute publication.
To perform or display a work “publicly” means—
(1) to perform or display it at a place open to the public or at any place where a substantial number of persons outside of a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances is gathered; or...
Since 1978 (when the 1976 act took effect), performing or displaying a work publicly has not published it. I don't know that the black-letter law covered the issue at all before 1978; the case in 1970 that I linked to treated the 1907 case as good law.--Prosfilaes (talk) 18:48, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
 Comment I am not sure which license to use, but this is in the public domain beyond any reasonable doubt. Either {{PD-US-unpublished}}, {{PD-US-no notice}} or {{PD-US-not renewed}} apply. Regards, Yann (talk) 17:18, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

✓ Done Cases:

  • First published after 12/31/2002. 70 years pma, therefore PD (he died in 1946)
  • First published before 3/2/1989, no notice or registration, therefore PD
  • First published from March 2, 1989 through 2002, Copyrighted until 12/31/2047

I think it is reasonable to ignore the very small possibility that the third case applies.      Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:11, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

To Whom This May Concern,

I would like to request undeletion of my photograph, File:Dame Rosemary Squire.jpg. The reason given for deletion was that I hadn't specified who had created it and who owned it. I can confirm that I took the photograph and own it. I thought I had made this clear by adding this: self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all but perhaps I added it in the wrong place?

File:Mitsuda_Yasunori.jpg

To whom it may concern,

This is Tom Mitchell from Procyon Studio.

I uploaded a photograph of Yasunori Mitsuda (Mitsuda_Yasunori.jpg), which was then reported and deleted. This photograph is for public use. The reason for its deletion was the website for Mitsuda's Chrono Cross Concert Tour (https://procyon-studio.co.jp/special/cclive2019/musicians/). However, as an employee of Mitsuda's company, Procyon Studio, I am the one who created that website.

If I understand correctly, the previous image of Mitsuda was uploaded with the permission of the photographer but not with the permission of Mitsuda. I believe it would be best to use an up-to-date photograph as well as one that has Mitsuda's permission.

If you need to confirm my identity, feel free to email Procyon Studio and I would be happy to respond. You can find Procyon Studio's public email addresses here: http://www.procyon-studio.com/mail/mail.html The most relevant email in this case would be the "info" email.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Sincerely, Tom Mitchell

@Purokion: As for any photo that was published earlier we need either (1) an evidence that the photo was initially published under a free license or (2) written free license permission from the actual copyright holder (who is presubambly the photographer) send to OTRS following these instructions. A non-photographer to be able to grant a valid license is expected to have a valid copyright transfer contract. Please note also, that according to Wikipedia rules (neutral point of view) an opinion of the subject concerning article content and/or used photos should not be taken into account. However, if the current photo lacks some permissions that are legally required, the subject may request its deletion contacting <[email protected]>. Ankry (talk) 06:30, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

  •  Weak oppose As standard practice, we have deleted (or not restored) files that are licensed "CC-BY-SA" without specifying a license version number. The putative license on these files would seem significantly weaker than a versionless CC statement, and leaves a bunch of very important questions with answers that are at best murky: 1) is this "license" legally binding? 2) is it revocable? 3) what kind of modifications are permissible... does their "hope" to avoid factual distortions carry legal weight? Storkk (talk) 12:58, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
  • For the point 1-2. The Stand News have already mention the legally binding in their official website and facebook page on 14 June, so it will not revocable and allow people feel free to use without permission.--Wpcpey (talk) 13:48, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
  • For point 3, The Stand News hope to avoid fake news and fake message to spread. Since recently many Twitter and Facebook users from China only spread the wrong message without fact check.

        • @Wpcpey: This vagueness, combined with the "consensus" based solely on De728631's opinion on a 3-word phrase in translation, perfectly illustrates why I think this is obviously not clear enough and too uncertain.

            Whether I am from China or not does not matter. I do not take my political standpoint to this discussion.
            Though, I just tried to read Copyright Ordinance; apparently, if this is a 'waiver of rights', it 'may be expressed to be subject to revocation'. Does that imply that the possibility of revocation must be explicitly expressed in the weaver, or that all waivers automatically get the right to revoke without expressing it, or that expressing the possibility of revocation is simply allowed and nothing is implied? --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 15:40, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
            (I'm not a lawyer; this is not legal advice) Heh, look at 91(5)93(3). If my understanding is correct, then if these works are 'made for the purpose of reporting current events', then The Stand News has no right to copyright; they have neither 'right to be identified as author or director' nor the 'right to object to derogatory treatment of work'. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 15:53, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
            @Storkk and Mys 721tx: Does my understanding of Copyright Ordinance make sense? --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 20:14, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
            • @Zhuyifei1999: Thanks for your insight. 91(5) appears to refer only to the moral right to be identified as director/author, and I'm not certain that's relevant specifically for these files -- they could still hold copyright without having that moral right, I think. 93(3) appears at first to be very relevant... my initial reading is that most authors have a "right to object to the derogatory treatment of their work", but that this right does not apply to "works made for the purpose of reporting current events". I'm not certain this exception applies here, though... if a permissive license includes the objection in the license, I'm not sure it's covered by this section (though I'm definitely uncertain). If I license something to you on the basis that you don't do XYZ, would a paragraph such as this disallow that stipulation leaving the rest of the license intact, or would it invalidate the license, or would it be superseded by the license (so the prohibition is valid)?

              Good question. I hate interpreting laws... though, I would think the wording that the author 'hopes' their works are not twisted would align with that they actually have no write to object to it, but can only 'hope'.
              I also searched for this statement, and apparently UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 has the same terms, but I don't see many cites of this term... no hints on when and how they are applied --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 23:47, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

  •  Support I do not think that we can override here a community consensus to accept the license. If the license does not conform COM:L, this should be discussed in COM:VPC prior to deletion and definitely not here. Ankry (talk) 00:02, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
The consensus you speak of appears to me to be a reasonable suggestion by De728631 of "how [a 3 word phrase in translation] sounds" to him and nobody else commenting one way or another. While this is indeed technically consensus, I'm not sure it's a binding enough "community consensus to accept the license" to require undeletion of the files while another discussion is sought. OTOH, my concerns would be mostly obviated if an uninvolved Chinese-speaking license reviewer or admin would confirm that they believe the statement given above is indeed legally binding and irrevocable. Storkk (talk) 09:19, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
Whether it is legally binding & non-revocable or not is not explicit in the text, unlike the CC licenses. However, I am unfamiliar with HK copyright laws regarding the criteria in which a statement becomes legally binding --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 17:39, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Is anyone willing to go on the record and justify that these three videos are live and archive video or audio broadcasts, and keep these videos deleted?--Roy17 (talk) 16:15, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
Source of this was confirmed to be youtube cc as in File:Lindsay Hoyle MP.jpg and File:House of Commons Chamber 1.png before 2018.--Roy17 (talk) 16:41, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
For the benefit of those without the privilege of seeing deleted files, I added the youtube URLs.--Roy17 (talk) 16:41, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

OK, let me explain why I do not agree to undeletion and providing the YT link as a source. (Note that other users, including some admins may have different opinion here.) Starting with some facts:

  1. the YT video was confirmed to be under CC license some time ago and now it is not available under CC license (but under the standard YT license)
  2. the uploader provided the UK Parliament site as a source, not the YT page
  3. license is a contract between copyright holder and a user which (in the case of files available on the sites like Commons or YT) is established when the user is downloading the appropriate file.

Many people refers to the fact that CC licenses are irrevokable. But the irrevokability aplies only if somebody already has the license contract. What does it mean? This means that if the original user did not download the video as a freely licensed, then they cannot apply a free license to the video DWs (despite the fact that the video was available elsewhere under a free license). Also, anybody who has downloaded the video under a free license, could relicense the screenshot under CC. But they need to prove they have the right to do so (eg. pointing out a freely licensed site currently publishing the video, providing evidence that they had published earlier another screenshot from this video while it was under CC, etc.). Note: viewing is efectively the same as downloding, except you have no proof that you downloaded ;).

What else does the above mean? That anybody who can prove that they downloaded the video under CC can republish this or similar screenshot providing a CC-licensed source or proving their rights through OTRS.

What else should I note? That the CC license requires us to verify that the licensor is aware of license conditions. You should not exploit accidental license declarations, eg. made by mistake. Are you sure that this was not the reason for the YT license change? Ankry (talk) 11:46, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

A utilitarian object that has been painted is still a utilitarian object.

  •  Support as per previous similar decisions, e.g. Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Ana.b747.pokemon.arp.750pix.jpg. Yann (talk) 08:36, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
    • I think that DR closure from 11 years ago was wrong. It's not in line with what we usually do. Pictures from e.g. busses with non-DM artwork painted upon them usually get deleted. Jcb (talk) 15:12, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
      • I can't see them, but as long as the photo is not focusing on the artwork itself, such artwork is generally "incidental" and we put that under the "de minimis" policy, even if somewhat prominent (different legal theory than strict de minimis, but that is where it is in our policy). It would be like the Ets-Hokins decision -- a photo of a bottle is not a derivative work of a copyrightable label on the bottle, unless the photo is focusing on the label. Or like a photo of the whole Louvre plaza is not a derivative work of the pyramid, even though that may be centered -- just photographs primarily of the pyramid itself are problems. If the purpose of the photo is to show off the artwork, there could be an issue. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:24, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
        • @Clindberg: I uundeleted temporarily two of them, and welcome your opinion. IMO, at least in some cases that art cannot be considered accidental. Ankry (talk) 08:03, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
          • FoP Hungary covers 2D artwork. Vysotsky (talk) 08:56, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
            • I hadn't even thought about the FoP angle. There was an EU court case that ruled artwork on a ship was "permanent", so even photos focusing on that artwork were OK per FoP, as long as it doesn't amount to a straight copy (i.e. a 2-D work cropped just to that work). That would seem to translate for trains, busses, etc. for countries which have that. Carl Lindberg (talk) 09:33, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
          • @Ankry: Thanks. The word is "incidental", in other words, is there a way to photograph the train without photographing the artwork? If not, the artwork is inherently there, and is "incidental" to the main subject. The point of the photograph is a larger scene than the copyrighted work; if it is inherently there then it often will not be derivative, apparently. s:Ets-Hokin v. Skyy Spirits, Inc. illustrates that point, as does the case of Latimer v. Roaring Toyz, Inc. That case was about photographs of motorcycles which had artwork painted on them. It states that Further weakening defendant-appellees argument is the fact that the ZX-14 motorcycles were the subject matter and primary focus of Latimer's photographs. Latimer's photographs can best be described as being "based upon" the ZX-14 motorcycles, useful articles not subject to copyright protection. The fact that Hathaway's artwork appears in the photographs is merely incidental. They went on to actually rule on a more narrow contractual issue, not formally ruling on the derivative work status, but they strongly hinted at roughly the same lines as Ets-Hokin. There was a French case about photo of a street with a prominent skyscraper at the end -- since the photo was over a wider subject, the street, it was not derivative of the building despite being prominent (and I think centered) in the photo. I think they called that the "theory of the accessory" there, but it seems similar.
          • Even more to the point, I'm not aware of any court case where a photo of that nature was ruled derivative. Photographs focusing on a copyrighted work like a statue have indeed been ruled derivative, so the line appears to be between those -- at some point you have to weigh photographers' rights as well, and courts won't give a product label copyright wide-ranging derivative rights over all photographs containing bottles the label is on, or where a building happens to appear, etc. The photo would have to be focusing on the copyrighted expression in particular, to the exclusion of a wider scene, to be derivative. It's not de minimis since the work in cases like this can still be prominent, but it's similar in that even a small crop of some of these can change the photo into a problem, and I think this sense is still incorporated in our "de minimis" policy. The line can still be blurry though when the artwork/label covers the entire object, such as product packaging (where it's just a covering box, and the entire box has artwork) or these locomotives. The product packaging is still a hard one for me, but I'd probably lean that these are also "incidental" per the above cases. The first photo is taking a photo of much of the train, not just the locomotive, so that seems fine. The second is focusing on the locomotive, which is entirely covered with artwork, but I think I'd keep as well, as it is trying to photograph the locomotive, with whatever decoration happened to be there (i.e. "incidental"). It can get harder with photos where the title makes clear the artwork is the point, or where the photo is trading off the actual expression on the artwork (say an photo which includes a real deer, and angled to include a painting of a deer on a locomotive in the background) and that sort of thing. But in general, if we delete due to a copyright problem, I prefer to be able to point to a court precedent to back up the deletion, and when it comes to this sort of thing, I'm not sure we can do that. Would be interested, as always, in precedents I don't know about. But courts seem to be drawing the derivative line at a bit higher level than these, and not letting derivative rights get too far beyond direct photographs of a work. So I'd probably  Support. I'm sure we can find many keeps and many deletions for this sort of thing though. Carl Lindberg (talk) 09:33, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

This is one of the photos in question... https://www.facebook.com/GivingCandyToStrangers/photos/a.708720682593799/977576009041597/?type=3&theater

User-created maps

The following maps were nominated/deleted by Jcb based on laconic claim that these maps are derivatives rather than own work, while no evidence was provided that creative (copyrightable) elements are by someone else than the uploader. Based on recent Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2019-09#Files uploaded by Golbez and COM:VPC#Maps based on public domain information they should be restored too. I find around 50 files nominated under the same rationale that have been kept/restored already, e.g. see also Commons:Deletion requests/File:Tolk in SL.PNG and Commons:Deletion requests/File:2005 Iranian presidential election results.png. Rest of the nominations apparently fell for the false claim that source is missing, or possibly were processed under misimpression that derivative is any work based on any data, facts or like, rather than another creative work.

I can't rule out that evidence can be found that a few among the following maps are derivatives of an actual creative work, or there is otherwise a good reason to be suspicious of particular file. In nominations no such evidence is provided though.

Additionally, someone should probably check other maps that Jcb has deleted without deletion request under "no source" claim.

--Pikne 13:00, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

 Oppose and I propose to speedy close this UDR. These are files of many different uploaders, deleted by many different experienced admins including @Steinsplitter: @Jameslwoodward: @Srittau: @Ellin Beltz: and @Christian Ferrer: . They are all careful admins. Pikne did not provide specific undeletion rationales, they are just trying to get an mass undeletion for a random selection of files in which I was somehow involved. Jcb (talk) 13:11, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
They are not random, I found them based on the same laconic rationale and I checked that no further details/evidence were provided in related DRs. They quite clearly need common approach and I don't see why they should be processed differently than the rest that are already kept/restored. Pikne 14:11, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
I add that all nominated files are maps and as evidenced by this laconic DR rationale, uploader seems to have stated explicitly that maps are own works. Also, while I can't check what maps exactly were they, then based on other maps that were kept/restored, then likely they were similar simple maps consisting of non-creative border data more or less creative elements by uploader. What makes you think that I nominated random files for undeletion? Pikne 15:19, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
You are asking undeletion of a series of files about which you have no information at all, purely based on the combination of the deletion rationale and the nominator. Over the years these DRs have been handled by several different administrators. All of them could see the file, the content of the image description pages and the deletion nomination. In almost all DRs, the administrators concluded that the files had to be deleted. I have also seen some blue links, but different from what you are suggesting, most of them were neither kept nor restored, but reuploaded, which is actually not allowed, but it happens a lot. Jcb (talk) 20:21, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
Specifically, these around 50 maps kept/restored I found from 28 DRs where you use exactly the same rationale. Non of which are reuploads. I can give more examples: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Trabzon City Centre.jpg and Commons:Deletion requests/File:Kingdom of Galicia.png. Please do tell if you want me to list the rest of 24 DRs too.
The only reuploads I find from Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by -A-M-B-1996-. I don't know if exactly the same maps were reuploaded or not, but quite clearly uploader did put an effort into providing the sources when reuploading.
I'm definitely not suggesting that all admins involved are careless. Rather they act upon what they are presented by another supposedly trustworthy admin. I hope that you in turn don't suggest that other DRs that met some more counter-arguments weren't closed as kept by careless admins either. Pikne 06:45, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
 Support File:Altheim in BR in OÖ.png. User:Joschi Täubler's maps look legit. Mapmaking process was well documented in de:Wikipedia:Kartenwerkstatt/Archiv/2008-12#Bezirkskarten_für_Oberösterreich.
Either undelete File:Kırklareli Turkey Provinces locator.jpg, or delete all locator maps by Denizz~commonswiki (talk · contribs) and Florenco~commonswiki (talk · contribs). Both are fine with me, but either one must be done.--Roy17 (talk) 21:28, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
 Oppose I have looked these over and while it is possible that some of them were incorrectly deleted, there is no way that we can deal with a request of this size, taken from many DRs which were closed by several different experienced admins, including me. In one case I looked at, the uploader admits that he claimed "own work" for maps where he took the base map from "publicly available sources". As we all know, almost all "publicly available sources" are not actually freely licensed.
This should be closed as "not done" and then, perhaps, reopened one DR at a time. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:02, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
In this one case, what was the base map then? If it was the usual non-creative borders and there's no reasonable doubt that creative elements added by uploader actually are own work, then the base map shouldn't matter copyright-wise, as is the case for other restored/kept cases under this DR rationale. Pikne 06:35, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
This is a lot of different requests... I can't see the files, so can't see if they were all really for the same reason, but there were probably different scales of problems so a mass undelete doesn't seem appropriate. A number do seem to be SVG maps though, and those outlines are virtually always from PD sources (since Commons has many to start with). So if any of those were deleted simply because we don't know where the outlines came from, that was probably not enough reason to delete. If a source map is found, we can adjust the license or determine derivative works status then. Similar for the other maps, if it was just for the outlines themselves -- generic national outline maps are probably inherently PD-ineligible at this point (or are essentially copies of stuff that has been PD for a long time), as the U.S. Copyright Office and courts have ruled that the general national and state outlines are not copyrightable. If the outlines are the only issue for the maps, with the rest obviously being original work, I think "own work" is fine. It's all of the other elements (or perhaps very detailed outlines, or perhaps a particular vectorization) which would be copyrightable matter. A number of the above are JPG maps though, which usually are not the result of original work by uploaders -- most would tend to upload at least in a lossless format like PNG, so (again without seeing them) I would be more careful with those. Maps simply copied from external sources are most often a problem. I'm sure a number of the above are OK, but some probably aren't. Carl Lindberg (talk) 22:17, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
Yes, as admitted at the top, without seeing these maps I can't rule out either that a few of them are problematic. But based on around 50 maps that were nominated in the same manner and were kept/restored, I wouldn't be surprised if non of the rest is really problematic either, or that only a couple of them are. That's why it seems appropriate to me if all of them were restored in the first place and then reassessed if necessary.
My experience with JPG maps on Commons is that often users just don't know which file format is more appropriate for drawings like maps. Are there any specific cases which would suggest that we can differentiate between own work ant not own work based on JPG and PNG? Pikne 06:35, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
 Oppose Reopen individually if at all. I spot checked. I don't see easy fixes for a request of this size. I also didn't see any administrative mistakes on the spot check, which included no file in which I was involved. Ellin Beltz (talk) 17:13, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
@Ellin Beltz: So in the spot checks, were there elements other than the outlines that were in question as derivative works? Basically, the map outlines are usually inherently PD so a source is usually not required, and they were all nominated as derivative work problems. So presumably then, the derivative work issues were for elements other than the map outlines ? Carl Lindberg (talk) 18:00, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
Clindberg. Yes, there were other elements. I do not oppose reopening them individually. Would appreciate if people would stick with issues and not get into personalities, COM:AGF. Ellin Beltz (talk) 19:01, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
Ellin Beltz, unfortunately I don't see this being discussed in relevant DRs. Could you please give a couple of examples on which map had which other elements and what makes you think that these other supposedly creative elements are not uploader's own creation? We should assume good faith in that regard too, isn't it. Pikne 06:07, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
It's difficult to argue with you, because you are simple denying the existence of copyright on maps. Maps are not somehow exempt of copyright protection. Jcb (talk) 15:02, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
Please don't misattribute "maps are exempt from copyright" notion to me, again. I never insisted that. The issue here is with certain non-creative map elements. Pikne 16:05, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
  •  Support. Jcb's view of map copyright and derivation appears very much against consensus, and all map-related decisions and nominations (many of which were deleted with no further input by admins who either shared Jcb's out-of-consensus notion of map copyright derivation, or didn't even bother to look) should be reviewed. --Golbez (talk) 19:01, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
  • File:Battle of Kosovo plan.png is definitely copyrightable, and not just an outline. Source should be provided if it is PD. Unlikely own work. I agree with Carl above that some may be PD. But working on them in such a large bunch needs assumption that they all have the same copyright status what is not true. To be handled properly the request needs to be splitted into smaller ones containing clearly similar maps with similar copyright status. We can't discuss each map separately in such a large bunch. And the requester should know what they are requesting for. I reject simple assumption that "no source" is invalid deletion reason for maps. And I tend to close this request as  Not done per this. Ankry (talk) 08:20, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
As for this simple assumption which you reject: I think noone above suggest that there is such assumption. Pikne 09:23, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
@Pikne: so do you suggest that the whole request is invalid because there is no common undeletion reason in the request, especially covering the map mentioned above? There is a choice keep it open; nobody will handle it. Or close and make smaller, more precise requests. I agree that map outlines are in many cases not copyrighted, but they need case-by-case study which is impossible in a massive request. Ankry (talk) 12:34, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
You declared above: I found them based on the same laconic rationale. And you think that claiming that this deletion rationale is enough to undelete does not mean what I said? curious. Ankry (talk) 12:42, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
Well, the foremost part of this laconic DR rationale, as paraphrased at the top, was "DW rather than own work". Based on 10s of files that have been kept/restored under the very same rationale (some referenced above), there is little reason to believe that any of these were careful nominations and quite clearly more evidence/details should have been provided in DRs. "No source" added to this is, if not simply false, then largely misleading if explicit "own work" statements were present (as evidenced by the very same laconic DR rationale).
This request still seems just to me based on common theme and assumptions which I brought out at the top. Even if a few of these files were actual derivatives and likely copyright violations then probably less harm was done if they were undeleted in the first place along with the rest, and then reevaluated and renominated for deletion under adequate rationale, if necessary. Also, as issue is most likely the same for most images then it seems reasonable to discuss it centrally rather than over and over for each file in separate requests. But if no admin feels comfortable with it then I suppose there isn't much else to do than someone tries separate requests instead. I currently don't feel like I want to go over the same issue for numerous times. So, do what you have to. Pikne 13:41, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
Maps can be tricky -- with .svgs, the claim would usually be "own work", since usually it means the uploader did some custom work on it. Facts are not copyrightable, so a map which does not mention where the information came from is not a "no source" copyright situation. Lack of an information source may make the reliability of the map more questionable, but it's not a licensing problem and is not a deletion reason. Most often though someone will start with an existing outline map. User:Jcb did nominate several maps on the basis that the source of the original outline map was not given, saying that the "own work" claim was therefore invalid, despite the rest of the elements being added by the uploader. There are court cases which have ruled that the basic U.S. country and state outlines are PD, basically PD-shape, so the source of those bitmap outlines was immaterial. While a vector source could have expression beyond that of the basic outline, Commons has so many PD versions of those that they are almost certainly the source, rather than obtaining a vector outline from some other copyrighted source. I think the UDR here was several nominations which had the identical deletion reason given, for better or worse. If it looks like all of the non-outline elements were done by the uploader and "own work" was claimed, they should be fine. If it looks like the uploader copied those other elements from a different map, i.e. the derivative portion goes beyond the outlines, then they were real issues. The only question is if the deleting admin made the same assumption User:Jcb did, that the map outline source must always be given (or if they made the assumption that the lack of information source was equivalent to a "no source" licensing problem).
For the Kosovo one you gave, it sure sounds like the deleting admin thought that it was a map copied from elsewhere (and you obviously feel the same), meaning the "own work" was completely bogus, so I'm sure is a good nomination and deletion. The .svg ones I wonder more about, since "own work" on those is likely valid for at least the new expression; the question is if anything else beyond the outlines was straight copied from another map. I also wonder about the old locator gifs and related maps -- some of those were uploaded for a decade, and if they were of the character of most locator maps, seems doubtful there would be a real problem. Carl Lindberg (talk) 13:25, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
@Clindberg and Pikne: This map presents plan of the battle. While it is possible, that its author made it basing on historical information it is unlikely that this information was precise enough to allow create a single map without any author creativity. Likely copied indeed. But this is just an example that one case may need a discussion as long as this one. Also, there are often many reasons to delete an image: while deleting, the admin provides one reason of their choice. While undeleting, we should also check the other reasons. Or restart the deletion process. Unsure, if creating fer dozen DRs was the requester's goal. Finally, all admins are volunteers, and most of them do not want to spend few hours handling single, controversial UDR. At least I will not. Ankry (talk) 14:59, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Hanegi

These files depicts specific Japanese cheerleading teams ja:B-ROSE and ja:AKATSUKI VENUS, a pubilc cheerleading event, not simple personal photos, but still remain deleted status. Also, files on Commons are not necessarily required to comply with Wikipedia policies and guidelines such as "neutral point of view" and "no original research" and "notablity". Puramyun31 (talk) 00:39, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

For unused images, the requester should prove they have educational value. That is necessary for the files to be in COM:SCOPE. IMO, this may apply to some selected files, but not to the whole set. And considering poor description and categorization I am unsure if anybody but uploader can make the selection / fix this. Ankry (talk) 07:34, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: there photos depicts cheerleading at a public sports event (Japanese professional basketball league(B.LEAGUE)), not simple personal photos, can be educational. (Commons does not only accept ancient images (ex. very old photos) but also broadly accept contemporary things such as these sport event photos) Also just "unused" on wikimedia project(s) cannot solely be a reason of deletion since Commons images can also be use outside of Wikimedia projects (That's why Commons files are freely-licensed). I guess "poor description and categorization" as you said maybe caused by lack of non-Japanese users' understanding about the Japanese descriptions of the images.

You can contact the portrayed person directly should you need any further clarification: ov_mudrak(at)ukr.net Daily111 (talk) 09:24, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

@Daily111: We need permission from the photographer or an evidence of copyright transfer contract with them (the latter can be provided while following COM:OTRS instructions). So the key question is: who is the photographer, providing their name is required by CC-BY-SA 4.0 license. This is definitely not a selfie as you claimed. Ankry (talk) 12:10, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

File:EF 131 V1.JPG

I recently got a copy of the 1998 book Secret Aircraft Designs of the Third Reich by renowned Nazi aviation writer David Myhra and it transpired that the deleted file shows a scale model of the planned Junkers Ju 287A-1 made by Gunter Sengfelder. The deleted image in question is on page 7 of Myhra's book, and a grainy photo of the EF 131 and project documents for the EF 131 can be found in Gordon (2004) and Griehl (2004). Also note that Griehl (2004, p. 289) identifies the Ju 287 V3 as unarmed and the Ju 287 V5 as the first armed Ju 287 prototype.

David Myhra may have taken the photograph of the model, and it was featured on page 7 of Secret Aircraft Designs of the Third Reich. This picture therefore made its way into the internet who were unaware that it was of a scale model of the Ju 287A-1. There's a 1947 photo of the EF 131 parked next to two Lisunov Li-2s in Ramenskoye at the following link which could be used for this deleted file:

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Zuzannadolega

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: The following works were uploaded by the artist because she established cooperation with Wikimedia Poland as part of the GLAM project. The artist was asked to upload them from her own account. The works "Miesz(k)ając (w) przeszłości" and "G8 Gdyńska Grafika Kobieca" are collages using works in the public domain and uploaded by Polish cultural institutions as part of Polish GLAM projects. The works have a high educational value, because they will serve as an example of the possibilities that artists can use works in the public domain for their own creativity. The works are to be an example of works for the planned GLAM remix competition, which Wikimedia Polska plans to organize. The uploaded files were needed to illustrate the activity reports. Some of them were uploaded by the artist because she took part in the Public Domain Day ("Dzień Domeny Publicznej 2019") by conducting workshops at the Digital Center. The event was organized in cooperation with Wikimedia Polska and the artist was asked to prepare the documentation and make it available through Wikimedia Commons. The situation was the same in the case of the photographs taken during workshops for creating Warsaw collages ("Warsztaty tworzenia warszawskich kolaży"). During the workshop materials from the public domain were used.The uploaded files were needed to illustrate the activity reports. The uploaded files were also needed to illustrate the article on Wikipedia: Zuzanna Dolega. The artist uses a unique technique of pyrography, which gives the work an educational value. --Celina Strzelecka (WMPL) (talk) 12:24, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

 Support IMO, in scope. Ankry (talk) 12:49, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 Support Those are important files documenting both chapters activities and artist's work. They can be used to educate about Wikimedia Commons and how it can be used in a creative way. WMPL needs them to illustrate, promote and educate. And let me add that the fact tha media gathered through GLAM projects are being deleted is quite discouraging for our volunteers and partners. Natalia Szafran-Kozakowska (WMPL) (talk) 13:00, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 Support I would like to support a statement above. GLAM-wiki cooperation is very important and especially in countries like Poland, where there are still problems with open knowledge, copyright and understanding of open licences. Every time, we managed to convince an institution or Artist to share its her/his collection/works, we consider this as a success, because it`s not easy. That`s why we support all actions under the protection of Wikimedia Poland to make artists feel safe and well treated. Zuzanna Dolega is a well-known artist (there is a wiki article about her), and also she decided to make an effort and create her own wiki-account. She carefully took care of this project, choosing very rare works of a great value. We consider this as a great example of artist`s involvment, which could be good for future cooperation with art`s world. Works, which have been deleted should be restored, because they should illustrate article about artist and about rare technique, too. And the last part - we have to document whole event by creating a gallery of works on the websites of Wikimedia Poland. Klara Sielicka-Baryłka (WMPL) (talk) 13:01, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 Support Wikimedia Polska is trying to encourage artists to support free licenses and we should be happy that Zuzanna Dolega agreed to cooperate. I can't understand deleting these files. Please undelete them all. Gdarin (talk) 13:54, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 Support The files in question shouldn't have been deleted in the first place as they are definitely in scope. Firstly, they come from a notable artist using a rare technique of pyrography who isn't seeking publicity here (she already has it), but was asked to share her work. Secondly, the files are a document of WMPL GLAM activities concentrating on promoting the idea of free licences among artists and the wider public. I believe they should be restored. Maire (talk) 17:38, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 Support I am baffled as to the ease with which Commons admins deleted files that document the artist's works as well as the activities / partnership of one of WM chapters. The files ought to be restored to encourage artists to go into the digital world, not exclude them. Wojciech Pędzich Talk 17:48, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

File:Selbstporträt von Reinhard Feldmeier.jpg

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: I was given permission by the creator of this photography (= Mr Feldmeier, the person in the picture) to upload the file under a CC license. Although the self-portrait had been previously uploaded to a personal webpage of Göttingen University (https://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/prof. dr. reinhard feldmeier/55870.html), Mr Feldmeier remains the right owner of the photography, which is why the reason the person marking the upload as copyright violation seems invalid to me. He cited https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/copyrights and intellectual property rights/439463.html, but this legal disclaimer actually acknowledges the possibility of permissions given by "the respective copyright holder". I could, therefore, ask the copyright holder to give his explicit permission per mail, if this would solve the matter? But (correct me please if I am wrong) before this, the file has to be restored to put the link into the permission text, right? DaPa2019 (talk) 14:48, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

@DaPa2019: Ask the photographer to send the permission to OTRS following COM:OTRS instructions. Note, that written form is required for such permissions; otherwise they are legally void. Ankry (talk) 16:15, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by ErwinMeier

No valid reason für deletion visible. Yes, in Germany is no FOP in interior for buildings, but FOP is only needed in the case, that something, what is protected by copyright, is on the picture. I don’t have seen the pictures, but according to Wikiwal in the discussion of the deletion request nothing copyright-protected is on the pictures.

If still any doubts, please reopen the DR duiscussion. Ankry (talk) 06:33, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

 Support undeletion. For example, File:Günterode St. Georg 01.jpg is a late Gothic ("spätgotisch") altar originally from a church that was closed in 1803, transferred to this church in 1805, it must be several hundred years old, so it is clearly PD-old and no FoP is needed. The file descriptions should, however, also contain a PD template for the depicted objects, not just {{Cc-by-sa-4.0}} for the photograph, maybe using {{Licensed-PD}} or something similar. Not for every object there is a clear date of creation in the descriptions, but all seem to be very old, not newer than 19th century (and often much older: File:Neuendorf St. Nikolaus 03.jpg is from the 15th century).

File:EnergyVault.png

I beleive that this file should not have been deleted, as it (to quote Wikipedia:Logos#Uploading_non-free_logos):-

"...only consists of typefaces, individual words, slogans, or simple geometric shapes. These are not eligible for copyright alone because they are not original enough, and thus the logo is considered to be in the public domain."

..and is thus covered by the PD-textlogo tag:- {{PD-textlogo}}

The file is small, and is only to be used on a single article: Energy Vault

The file is used on various sites, including Business Wire (see https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20190416005449/en/Energy-Vault-Wins-World-Changing-Idea-Award) and perhaps unsurprisingly the company's own site: https://energyvault.com/

Therefore, I don't think that it should have been deleted, and I respectfully request that it is reinstated.

Please note that I don't represent the company involved in any capacity: I am just a - fairly experienced - Wikipedian trying to share knowledge :-)

Simonjon (talk) 16:43, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

@Simonjon: Wikimedia Commons is not Wikipedia and unlike some Wikipedias, our copyright rules do not allow Fair Use logos to be hosted here. If the logo is a logo of US based company, it likely could be {{PD-textlogo}}. But I doubt this for Swiss law. We probably need some Swiss court cases to take a decision. Can you point out one for a similar logo?
Sites that use this logo under Fair Use are poor argument to consider it free for any purpose. Ankry (talk) 18:27, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

File:Singer-Songwriter Coline Creuzot.jpg

We've had repeated difficulties with trying to upload an image for the artist's Wiki page - I am in direct contact with the artist and she owns and holds all copyrights to the images we have tried to use.

In this instance, I suggested that she upload the image she wanted to use directly to Flickr since the image isn't online otherwise and she can upload it directly under one of the licenses that is supposed to be automatically acceptable for use on Wiki pages. She did that, and it was still deleted. I'm not sure why this occurred since we did everything in accordance with the rules, she holds and owns all copyrights to the image, and uploaded it herself under one of the accepted licenses. There is absolutely no copyright violation occurring.

--Litpurpleincense (talk) 13:44, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

@Litpurpleincense: The image should be uploaded by the photographer (if not published). Otherwise, we need written permission send to us directly by the photographer (or another copyright holder with a written contract), see COM:OTRS for details. This image is definitely not a selfie and I see no evidence that the Flickr page belongs to a professional photographer. Note also, that authorship is not transferrable, so claiming that the author is somebody else than the photographer is illegal (well, in some countries for corporate works the employer may be the author; but I do not think this is the case). For images from external sites where a free license is granted, we have to carefully verify whether the license was granted legally by the photographer or, in some cases, by the photographer's employer. Ankry (talk) 14:55, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: I understand what you're saying completely, but the image - like the others I have tried to use on the artist's behalf - was commissioned by the subject herself. She owns the copyrights to the image, she hired the photographer, who turned the images (and the rights therein) over to her upon completion of the photo session. It's for her professional Wiki page and the image literally belongs to her, she employed the photographer, and the photographer doesn't retain the rights to the image at all. One of the other images we had attempted to use had been utilized previously in a press article and was taken down because of that even though they didn't own the rights to the image, so we attempted to use Flickr in order to have documentation that online, that is where the image was originating from, since another image we'd attempted to use was also taken down even though she held all legal rights to that image as well. What are my options for remedying this situation? The current image in question has never been used anywhere on the internet before, and all rights to the image do belong to the subject.

--Litpurpleincense (talk) 18:27, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

We need to verify this. And everything that cannot be verified basing on public records, should go through OTRS. We may need confirmation of copyright transfer by the photographer or some contract details. This cannot be provided on-wiki. We had many complains from photographers, when subjects attempted to license their photos freely while not having rights to do so. Ankry (talk) 18:35, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: I understand. Thank you for your explanation. I've reached out to Coline and will have her verify via OTRS.

Photographs from davecskatingphoto.com listed at User:Harmonia Amanda/Clean up

Hello,

The website davecskatingphoto.com has granted a blanket autorisation to publish their images under the Cc-by-sa-3.0 licence, which is archived in OTRS ticket 2008012510003504. User:Harmonia Amanda has been uploading massive quantities of these images at Category:Photographs from davecskatingphoto.com. She put the OTRS ticket on the category, but forgot to do so on each individual image.

A few days ago, around 500 of these images were deleted, the admin having failed to notice the OTRS template on the category. Would it be possible to restore these images? Harmonia has listed the affected material at User:Harmonia Amanda/Clean up.

Thank you in advance and good continuation! Rama (talk) 10:54, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Reason: The documents from Russian Empire, published in newspapers in 1906, free to access, no authoring.

  • @Gone Postal: Please take a look at File:Список_лиц,_имеющих_право_на_участие_в_выборах_в_Государственную_Думу_1906.pdf I have edited it in a slightly different way, providing source and author as Mogilevskie Gubernskie Vedomosti (newspaper where the lists were published), not "self-photographed". Also, there are tons of similar files containing old newspapers scans on wikicommons from other contributors, e.g. File:Irkutskie_gubernskie_vedomosti.jpg with licensing and authoring varying from file to file. Should I use newspaper as author, or 'my own work'? In my opinion, the author was the newspaper, not me (not to talk that actually these lists were created by special government electoral commitees prior to publishing them). Thanks for your contribution to this issue. --Alx90865 (talk) 10:00, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
    • @Alx90856: The way I interpret the "source" is where the specific file comes from. While author is the original copyrighted work and all the additional authors that have added something that has in any way transformed it. As such you filling in the author field goes further than what I did, and that is much better. As for the source portion, I disagree with repeating the author, but not enough to actually edit the file or demand that somebody does it differently. ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 13:00, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
  • "Not eligible for copyright" can be a complex rule, and IMO should be avoided whenever a clearer, more definite rule applies.--Prosfilaes (talk) 06:33, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
    • The issue is that we do not follow that approach in other things, for example, when somebody puts a public domain image available under a free licence, we normally remove a free licence. Personally, I believe that we should have "fall back" templates. For example, "This image is PD-ineligible, if this happens to be wrong, it is PD-old, if this happens to be wrong it is also available under CC-BY". However, this isn't a place to discuss such a change. ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 06:43, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

@Odinn1: Deleted per community decission as uploader did not provide an evidence that they file indeed originates from mil.ru / минобороны.рф domains. If there is such evidence (or another clear reason for the declared license, the decission may be reconsidered). Ankry (talk) 10:13, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: This document is available on the portal memory of the Nation (pamyat-naroda.ru) which is owned by the Ministry of defence of the Russian Federation. --Odinn1 (talk) 11:11, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
And where is the evidence that all content of this portal is also owned by the Ministry and that the did grant the CC license to it? This must be explicitly stated to be valid. The fact that somebody published something on their page does not automatically mean that they have right to license this. Ankry (talk) 11:55, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
Evidence that all the content of this portal also belongs to the Ministry can be found in the section "about the project" of this portal " Welcome to the portal "Memory of the people", created by the Ministry of defense by the decision of the Russian organizing Committee "Victory" and supported by the order of the President of the Russian Federation And". Under CC license I will look for information. --Odinn1 (talk) 17:06, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
"created by the Ministry of defense" does not mean copyright ownership to all the content. Maybe, they only have the right to use this? Or they can use unless somebody complains? Ankry (talk) 06:36, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
Documents posted on this portal belong to the Central archive of the Ministry of defence of the Russian Federation, it follows that all scanned documents posted on the portal belong to the Ministry of defence. --Odinn1 (talk) 07:58, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

Here is the answer to the administration portal "terms of use documents from the website in publications relating to the history of the great Patriotic war, is simple – you must link to the website. Not a mandatory link for each photo, it is only necessary that it was clear that the photos from the site. For example "All pictures are not particularly marked, are taken from the website of the Ministry of defense of the Russian Federation pamyat-naroda.ru»". --Odinn1 (talk) 06:00, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
  1. Is this declaration public? This must be verifiable even in 20-50 years. So if not public and archived (or be verified by an uninvolved license reviewer), it should go through OTRS.
  2. I see no declaration that the site owner owns copyright; and without such a declaration (or another evidence) the above words are rather just their wish than a legal contract.

Now that there is a permissions email in the pipeline, the images will be undeleted automatically once the email has been processed by the OTRS team. This may, however, take several weeks due to a huge backlog. De728631 (talk) 11:12, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

File:John Wayne Gacy certificate of death.jpg

The image should have been switched to the proper license "pd-ineligible" before deletion, or at least brought to discussion.

The following files were deleted and likely had the wrong tag applied to them. They were part of a special advertising section of a publication to promote the 1927 film The American. If considered advertising, as I believe they should be, then they are covered under Template:PD-US-no notice ad:

What is the copyright status of these photos in the US? De728631 (talk) 19:43, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
I am unclear, Is it required/necessary to check the copyright status of the photos in the US? These are photographic work of notable Nepalese people, and 25 years have already passed since the year the work was created so per {{PD-Nepal}} they are in public domain in the country of origin. Also, It seems, they are in public domain in the US per {{PD-1996}}. Kind regards, — Tulsi Bhagat (contribs | talk) 03:43, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
@Tulsi Bhagat: {{PD-1996}} is effective only if they were published in Nepal before 1.3.1989. Any evidence of this? If they were published first time after this date, standard 70 pma US copyright applies to them. Ankry (talk) 08:00, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

I'm afraid I have to disagree here.

@Taivo: could you please elaborate why this image has been deleted as speedy? I see no obvious reason. Deletion log is also not helpful here. All external usage seem to me to be newer than commons upload. Ankry (talk) 05:28, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
I explained that in User talk:Lah sadzik. The file was really big and had good quality, but comparing with other uploads I still decided to delete. No metadata was present. The file can be restored after evidence of own work. Can you re-upload the photo using same filename, but with EXIF data? After that I will believe own work. Taivo (talk) 10:04, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
@Taivo: This image is unlikely to be an image directly from a camera: it was probably preprocessed. If EXIF was removed during the preprocessing, it cannot be readed. Also, the user has later published this image in various other sites, like Instagram, under the same name, so I doubt it is a copyvio. I also still think, that it did not qualify as speedy; at least a DR discussion should have been initiated before it was delinked from usage. I tend to {{Support}} undeletion per AGF, however Lah sadzik's comment to the above doubts is welcome. Ankry (talk) 12:54, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

{{Nd}} per Taivo's doubts and no response from the uploader. Ankry (talk) 14:17, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

@Ankry: Waiting only a day for the uploader to respond doesn't seem nearly long enough. and I also have doubts that this (or other images by the same user) are copyvios, it looks like @Taivo: was way too hasty deleting them immediately rather than going through a standard deletion process. I'd suggest undeleting and taking to AfD. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:46, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
@Mike Peel: This is standard procedure here if there is no new comments from other users. Ankry (talk) 17:55, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
Is there now a policy requiring all images with no EXIF data to be deleted? If not, these images should be undeleted, as any questionable speedy should be undone, and taken to a proper deletion discussion (or better still, left alone).

I support the request for undeletion of both this image and File:Mssaasmalam.jpg, and to follow a regular deletion process, rather than a speedy one. I agree there are grounds for suspicion (and am concerned that there are two such images in WLM-Malaysia), but good faith suggests that there may be more to it than shows, and the prominence suggests that national organizers such as Ammarah Khalid have looked at this before. Rushing this through makes it harder for people to help investigate. Effeietsanders (talk) 18:34, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
✓ Done I undeleted the files because the deletions aren't properly motivated with valid arguments. No evidence that this files are a copyright violation is provided. However, I'll leave this request open a little longer in case Lah sadzik wants too respond. I do suggest that Taivo reads the Facebook TOU. This is a false statement.

File:LogoVGQ.gif

Bonjour,

Est-ce qu'il serait possible d'annuler la supression du fichier svp? Le fichier est un logo d'un organisme gouvernemental, il est donc dans l'espace public.

Merci, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oli641 (talk • contribs) 14:03, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

@Oli641:
  1. please sign your messages.
  2. according to COM:Copyright rules by territory/Canada government works become PD 50 years after creation. Any evidence that this logo is 50 years old? Or that it was {{OGL-C}}-licensed by the appropriate government agency? Ankry (talk) 19:16, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

OTRS permission from the image creator should available now

--Laserlicht (talk) 17:33, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

  •  Oppose If a free license has been sent to OTRS, then the file will be restored automatically when and if the email is received, processed, and approved. Note that OTRS, like Commons, is entirely staffed by volunteers, and, also like Commons, is shorthanded, so it may be close to 33 days before the email is processed and the file is restored.
If the message was sent to the English language version of OTRS and the email has been properly received there the sender will receive an automatic reply with the ticket number. If the sender has not had a reply, please check that it was sent correctly and try again. Other language versions may or may not provide the automatic reply.
