Gladys Aller files

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the media below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the media's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was: Keep all except paintings. The newspaper publications were PD-US-not renewed. Copyright is inherited, and uploader indicated that heirs wished to release copyright on first image. The rest are paintings and the uploader indicated that there is no intent to release copyright. Consensus is that they fail WP:NFC. (non-admin closure) Ramaksoud2000 ^{(Talk to me)} 21:56, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Various non-free files being used in Gladys Aller. A number of these files may actually be old enough to be converted to pubic domain using {{PD-US-no notice}} or another similar template since they appear to have been first published in 1937. Others such as the the various works of arts probably do not satisfy WP:NFCC#3a and WP:NFCC#8 as well as possibly WP:NFCC#1. ~~Change them to public domain, if they're old enough.~~

"File:Gladys Aller Painter.jpeg" is listed as personal photo taken by Allers' husband. If it was and he is still living, then it would seem to fail NFCC#1 because he could upload the file to Wikimedia Commons under a free license, right? If her husband is dead, but the copyright was transferred to his estate, then it seems that they could freely license the image. No source is provided for the photo other than "private collection", but if one was then perhaps this could be considered acceptable as non-free per No. 10 of WP:NFCI. Suggest keep for use in main infobox per No. 10 of NFCI if the NFCC#1 concerns can be resolved and better copyright information per WP:NFCC#10a can be provided. ~~Answer -The photo is in the collection of her daughter. The photographer is dead. The photo was taken in the 40's. I added "keep" BlueWind13 (talk)~~
Files "Frolicsome Artists Hollywood 1937.jpg", "Surrealist Costumes .jpg", "Gladys Aller and Fletcher Martin.jpg" and "Surrealist Valentine's Ball 1937.jpeg" all seem to be scans from newspapers. These may be old enough for some sort of conversion to public domain, though a copyright notice can be seen at the bottom of "Gladys Aller and Fletcher Martin.jpg". However, I don't see a way to justify the non-free use photos per NFCC#8 or NFCC#3a since there use appears more decorative than contextual. The photos are being used in an image gallery which is generally not recommended per WP:NFG and the specific photos are not themselves the subject of any sourced commentary within the article so their contextual significance is not clear. There is a short paragraph mentioning "Surrealist Ball" in the article, but it's unsourced and, in my opinion, a non-free image (let alone four non-free images) is not really needed for the reader to understand what is written. Suggest remove for all images if they cannot be converted to a free license. Answer: The gallery illustrates the art scene in Los Angeles in the 30's which is mentioned in the text. Convert them to a free license - they're all unavailable online otherwise. And were taken in February 1937, most on published on February 16th. BlueWind13 (talk)
Files "Gladys Aller Lady With Hat.jpg", "Santa Monica Pier Watercolor Gladys Aller.jpeg", "Two Women of Tonopah Gladys Aller.jpeg" and "Cannas by Gladys Aller.jpeg" are all paintings by Aller whose sources are listed as being in someone's private connection. As with the newspaper photos, there's really no reason for four non-free examples of Allers' work to used per NFCC#3a. In addition, none of the paintings is itself the subject of any sourced discussion within the article so the context required by NFCC#8 is lacking. Perhaps one of them could be used as an example of Allers' work if it can be shown to have the subject of discussion by reliable sources, but otherwise this type of decorative use is not really allowed per NFCC#8. Suggest remove all unless the NFCC#8 and NFCC#3a concerns can be resolved, or the files can be converted to a free license. Answer - The paintings illustrate the different schools of painting that the artist's work explored through the different decades - as mentioned in the text. They should not be removed.

Change them to public domain, if they're old enough.

Answer 1- The photo is in the collection of her daughter. The photographer is dead. The photo was taken in the 40's. I added "keep"

Answer 2: The gallery illustrates the art scene in Los Angeles in the 30's which is mentioned in the text. Convert them to a free license - they're all unavailable online otherwise. And were taken in February 1937, most on published on February 16th.

Since no online source is given for the photo of Alleys from her private collection, I assuming it has never been published. How did you obtain it? If you're in contact with Alleys' daughter, then perhaps she would agree to freely license the photo as explained in WP:DCM#Donating your photographs or c:COM:OTRS#When contacting OTRS is unnecessary. A freely licensed photo is much easier to use on Wikipedia because it is not subject to WP:NFCC. Moreover, the fact the Alleys' daughter can create a freely licensed version of the photo to serve the same encyclopedic purpose might make non-free use unacceptable per NFCC#1.

As I mentioned above, the "Gladys Aller and Fletcher Martin.jpg" has a copyright notice attached to it, so I think that means {{PD-US-no-notice}} cannot be used for that particular photo, but perhaps there's another way to convert it to PD. If the photos were published/taken in 1937 and they weren't published anywhere else since that time, then they might be old enough for PD. Otherwise, their non-free use does not seem justified.

Again if Alleys' daughter now holds the copyright of these works of art or they are old enough, then perhaps they can be converted to a free license or PD. However, as Cullen328 explained to you at Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions#orphan image for future use simply wanting to show examples of Alleys' work at various points in her career is not really enough to justify non-free use, particularly in articles not specifically about the paintings themselves. Proper context needs to be added as article content which would make removing the file detrimental to the reader's understanding. Generally, this is considered to be content reflecting what reliable sources specifically say about the painting itself, and such content would need to be added for each file. Right now, there is no such content in the article so seeing the paintings is not really necessary for the reader's understanding. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:32, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really understand all these points, I'm afraid. There is no desire from the heirs of Gladys Aller to make reproduction of her works copyright free or in the public domain. Why cannot they just be used to illustrate text for an historical person? As for the clippings from the newspaper - one of the papers, at least, no longer exists, and it is unknown if they were ever subsequently reproduced, although at least one of the artists in the photos - Fletcher Martin is a well known figure. There are no online sources to reference for these photos. That is a problem when an artist died before the internet was invented. The only specific image available online is through the Metropolitan Museum of Art and it is specifically stated that it cannot be reproduced (and wasn't on the page - only linked.) But what good is an article about an historical figure - a visual artist, if the reader cannot see examples of her work?

I can add more specific text to the article referencing the actual paintings as representative of her style at a particular period, if that would help. BlueWind13 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 06:55, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding usage of the photo of the artist File: Gladys Aller Painter - the heirs have given permission for its free use and reproduction. They would like a photo of their mother to be available online and for editorial use. BlueWind13 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:30, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

BlueWind13, this is what would be best for each file that the heirs have given permission for free use:

Move the file(s) into Commons: with the appropriate license:
- The Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International — CC BY-SA 4.0 license (see the Common's commons:Template:Cc-by-sa-4.0 Cc-by-sa-4.0 template).
- The Creative Commons — CC0 1.0 Universal license that is essentially the same as Public domain (see the Common's Cc-zero template).
The heirs need to follow the Commons' Open-source Ticket Request System process by sending an email to permissions @ commonswikimedia here, or, alternatively, upload the files themselves

Peaceray (talk) 16:39, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Even so, what the heirs may or may not want is secondary to what the copyright holder, living or dead, has a right to— and copyright extends beyond death for some time. Sadly, this is what sometimes happens to images where the copyright holder died before being able to release an image under a suitable license: without any statement of permission or copyright transfer, we must assume the copyright holder intended to retain the full copyright and delete the image from Wikipedia and Commons. It longer matters what he or she might have wished— all that matters is what we can give evidence of, and without evidence, we err on the side of caution, which means we cannot host the file(s).

Concur, this appears to be sculptural. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:04, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the artwork is most likely not under copyright - Philip_Doddridge#Doddridge_United_Reformed_Church implies that the church in question is too old for any art that is part of it to be under copyright - see also this link. The photo itself falls under PD-self. I am currently reading the UK copyright law and I don't understand why the filepage is claiming that the artwork could be still under copyright or for that matter, why it's called "unpublished" - the definition of "published" I can see includes "exhibition to the public", which this one clearly is. I'd just add {{photo of art|{{PD-self|date=June 2010}}||{{PD-old-100}}|pdsource=yes}} as the license and call it a day. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 10:20, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Talked to someone in the -commons IRC channel about this and since the UK is a common law country it may very well fall under "unpublished". Publishing does not equate to being in public. See c:COM:PUB. For that reason, I'm going to close this as a "keep as is" under a precautionary standpoint. --Majora (talk) 02:16, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how it can not be my own work, especially as I created the screenshot myself from a playthrough I was doing of the game; I was using the Upload Wizard to do this. I had to edit it in MS Paint to not include my desktop, or the upper portion where one can find the program's name and the options for minimising, maximising and closing down the program (it's hard to see, but if you look at the bottom of the image you can just make out the top of my desktop's taskbar). However, if the general consensus is that it should be non-free use, notify me to include a Non-free use rationale video game screenshot template on the image (it was created with the aim of highlighting an update to the game described in the article Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition.

This uses a non-free file format, but seems to be linked from a reference desk disscussion. Any takers for converting this to something that can be put on Commons? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:43, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know, WP:NFC and WP:NFCC do not apply to the file format~, only to the content. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 09:53, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, I don't know why this FFD was opened. If you want to convert it to a format that is acceptable on Commons please do so. Since you aren't asking for it to be deleted and you aren't questioning its licensing status I'm going to close this. --Majora (talk) 01:48, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Querying whhy this is considered non-free, when the art which is the subject of the image looks to be very old. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 18:37, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sfan00 IMG Probably because the identical Commons file is incorrectly licensed; it should be either {{PD-Art|{{PD-old-70}}}} or {{Licensed-PD|{{PD-old-70}}|{{cc-by-sa-4.0}}}} considering that the artwork, as indicated by the source, is from the "early 18th century".
