Yes, it most certainly is a copyright violation. I posted the link to the Google Street View. You can even see the Google Earth logo prominently on the lower left. Schierbecker (talk) 16:51, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Title of photo of the government office in The Hague housing the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security and Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations

Dear Yann, I saw that you had changed the title of my photo to File:Government office in The Hague housing the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security (2019).jpg. However, this is an incomplete title. In fact, they are two different ministries: the Ministry of Justice and Security and the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations. Could you change the title? Or else do you know a better title? Kind regards, S. Perquin (talk) 17:38, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@S. Perquin: Hi, You wrote that the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security is in the middle, so it is the main subject of the picture. Yann (talk) 17:42, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Yann, you're right about that! I hadn't thought about that yet! 😄 Thanks for the renaming! Kind regards, S. Perquin (talk) 17:44, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Asking for your opinion

Regarding Commons:Deletion requests/File:Gaza City, Palestine 2020.jpg, I will go by your opinion. Thanks, Krok6kola (talk) 20:37, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am resigned to the deletion, if that is what happens. No need to bother you about it. Krok6kola (talk) 00:10, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

.. for nominating my pictures on QIC ;-) Brackenheim (talk) 08:04, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As you closed this DR on grounds that it was graffiti, I was wondering if you could comment on the concerns that it was a derivative work of the George Floyd selfie, which is a separate issue. IronGargoyle (talk) 10:29, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, this is a borderline case, but I don't think that deleting this would protect anyone's copyright. Yann (talk) 13:16, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Are his heirs not the copyright holders of the image? You say it is a borderline case (it seems a pretty clear derivative to me though). Does that not fall within COM:PRP then? IronGargoyle (talk) 18:12, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There could be several legal justifications for keeping this image, but I am mainly interested by the moral one. George Floyd selfie is only one possible source, or it could be just a portrait resembling him. One could also says that our image is not a direct derivative work, and that the artist had the right to use the image of George Floyd, whatever it was. As Giraudoux said There is no better way of exercising the imagination than the study of law. No poet ever interpreted nature as freely as a lawyer interprets the truth. Legal experts will find every possible reasons to keep or to delete it. But deleting this would be a terrible mistake, contrary to everything what Wikimedia stands for: knowledge, equity, truth, justice, etc. Yann (talk) 19:29, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you please provide the legal justifications? I am troubled by your nod to "knowledge, equity, truth, justice" (mostly words that do not appear in the Wikimedia Foundation mission). It makes it appear that you more interested in advocating for a particular political agenda with your role of administrator than maintaining Commons as a source of freely licensed educational material. And how moral is it to deprive the Floyd heirs of their right to control the disposition of Floyd's creative work? IronGargoyle (talk) 22:57, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Reading your reply again, I think now the two sentences: "George Floyd selfie is only one possible source, or it could be just a portrait resembling him. One could also says that our image is not a direct derivative work, and that the artist had the right to use the image of George Floyd, whatever it was." is you legal justification right? I was too focused on your first statement about the importance of the moral argument. Let me talk through your legal argument then: If the work is derivative of something else, it is still likely a derivative work. Do we really think the Palestinian muralist met George Floyd in life? Or contacted the family of George Floyd to obtain permission? Both possibilities are very unlikely and that means this image falls afoul of COM:PRP. IronGargoyle (talk) 02:24, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am aware, yes. Some (including this one) are derivative of the famous George Floyd selfie. Not all of those should be deleted. Some of the derivative works are either de minimis or in jurisdictions which allow freedom of panorama for murals. This particular mural fits neither criteria. IronGargoyle (talk) 02:00, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just my opinion, but the mural and selfie look nothing like each other. The mural has more shading and they are from different angles. So I don't see how anyone could argue they are derivatives. Otherwise you'd have to argue any or all images of George Floyd are inherently copyrighted because you can't have an image of his face that doesn't somehow look similar to the selfie due to how generic it looks. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:11, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All moot

The photograph itself was a Flickrwashed blatant copyright violation of a photograph by Mohammed Salem/REUTERS. See https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/10/israel-hamas-war-black-struggle.html. I have deleted it as such. IronGargoyle (talk) 04:56, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This media was probably deleted.
Thanks for uploading File:The Wildcat (1921) by Ernst Lubitsch.webm. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.

Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own).

The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:The Wildcat (1921) by Ernst Lubitsch.webm]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Prototyperspective (talk) 11:08, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Prototyperspective: Hi, This is a 1921 film, and the author died in 1947, so it is in the public domain in Germany and in USA. Yann (talk) 12:53, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, aware of that but if you play the actual file, you'll see that it's actually a recently-made documentary video about the film, not the film itself. Prototyperspective (talk) 13:33, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OOPS. Deleted. Thanks for looking. Yann (talk) 13:35, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Old Ironsides

Can you undelete File:Old Ironsides (1926).webm today just so I can investigate the cause of the issue? I don't have the local file anymore, and I'd at least like some access. The issue has to do with the fact that certain video files are very much not empty, but that Commons incorrectly says that they are "0 bytes", and therefore the video player doesn't work properly with them. (The video will still play, but you can't go backwards or forwards.) I wonder if this is similar to a common issue with PDFs that often causes them to register as "0 bytes" as well, which purging the cache enough times helps fix.

Plus, I am going to upload a new version in its place tomorrow anyway so please undelete so I can investigate. SnowyCinema (talk) 02:55, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SnowyCinema: Hi,
This file has 0 pixel and 0 byte. I will also upload a HR version soon (1080p). Do you really need this file? Thanks, Yann (talk) 08:05, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have the same HD version locally, so I could upload it too, if you undelete this file I'd like it in the revision history, so I can see exactly what happened, thanks. (What I want to do is to make a Bot proposal to fix every file like this because there are actually not a few.) SnowyCinema (talk) 14:02, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SnowyCinema: Ok, done. Yann (talk) 14:07, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The issue seems to be that the metadata (text data about the video) is either missing, corrupted, or not being properly read by Commons. It therefore isn't reading the bit rate, since the bit rate is specified in this metadata apparently. But the video itself seems okay. It even plays correctly unlike what I originally thought... SnowyCinema (talk) 18:12, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bot mistake

For any work previously published elsewhere, a formal written permission is needed, unless the work is in the public domain. Please see COM:VRT for the procedure. Yann (talk) 15:56, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yann, you've already warned this user about copyright violations but they have recently uploaded an image that I believe was already declared a copyright violation.

It is not vandalism

Hello, Yann: I've received a warning for vandalism in my talk page by you a few hours ago. However, it is nowhere near vandalism. I am requesting the deletion for a valid reason: I am the author of the photographs (something that can be easily verified) and I have requested their deletion according to WP:G7. If the request is incorrect in form, please inform me how to do it. Otherwise, please do not undo my request for deletion, as I am the author of that content and I believe I have the full right to request it. Thank you. Navarretedf (talk) 12:08, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Navarretedf: No, this is not a valid reason. Once you upload files under a free license, you can't request deletion, especially if they are in use. This is disrupting the project, and it is not OK. Yann (talk) 12:49, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I fully understand in the case of images currently in use. However, I still reckon I can request speedy deletion for the images that aren't used anywhere else, specially if they were uploaded wrongly by me as an artistic project and now, from a more informed point of view, I consider Wikimedia it's not the right place for them (and I'd say this is a good thing for the project). That is to say: according to this, there's no impediment for me to request it, and the final decision is a courtesy of whoever is in charge of deciding.
As I said before, none of the following images are used elsewhere and all of them were uploaded by me in a misguided manner:
· https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Coat_of_arms_of_Vladivostok_~_European_Heraldry_Style.png
· https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Coat_of_arms_of_Livorno_(with_laurel_wreath).png
· https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Australian_Flag_Proposal_(Southern_Banner).png
· https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Heraldic_Caduceus.png
· https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Heraldic_Railway.png
In any case, please understand it is not my purpose to vandalise anything. I just want to ask for the removal the content I consider, in good faith, didn't belong here. If there's somewhere in the guide to image deletion and criteria for speedy deletion that bans me from requesting it, I would be glad to know. Navarretedf (talk) 13:51, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Navarretedf: No, the Creative Commons license is irrevocable. So you can't request a deletion of your files. Yann (talk) 14:12, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IP vandal I reported

I don’t think you should’ve humored that IP when they asked to be blocked by giving them what was basically a joke block of only 3 days. You’re feeding the trolls by giving this user negative attention and allowing them to keep fishing for it when their trivial block expires. I personally think you should change this to indefinite to prevent that from happening. Dronebogus (talk) 11:04, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
