Request for File:Puttingondog2.jpg and File:Puttingondog4.jpg
I think File:Puttingondog2.jpg and File:Puttingondog4.jpg shouldn't be deleted. I tried you upload them but they were empty files. Marole3 (talk) 17:07, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed an image I had added and that you warned be about was removed. It did take me a long time, but I did get to add a CC note to the original photo in Facebook. The warning was about there not being a clear copyright release with that original image. I wonder if you could take another look and let me know if it is acceptable now to place that image with the article. The photo was the only one on this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._Sutton_Breiding and the image is on Facebook here: https://scontent.fash1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/41192_157101614303818_667100_n.jpg?oh=906b658b2c49534c8c82a2e71fe6b052&oe=57F281F2 - that only shows the photo. The note about CC0 1.0 is on this page, but I'm not sure it will go directly there: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=157101614303818&set=a.145895828757730.30384.100000119407405&type=3&theater.

I've updated my image page as requested, but I'm not clear on what is meant by self license. I see no mention of this at Licensing, nor is there a helpful link in Template:Media by uploader where the phrase is used. (The article Self-licensing is obviously not relevant, either.) If this image's current dual-license, which others updated but I approve, is insufficient, I'll be happy to make any recommended changes. Can you give me specific, templated suggestions? Thank you for your help. ~ Jeff Q (talk)

File:Arizona lewis prison aerial.jpg
[I was going to remind you of a related discussion we had recently, but apparently I had this discussion with someone else, and I can't find it.]

I entirely agree with your assertion that a source would be nice. Do you have any reason to think that this image might be a copyright problem, or in other words, if we didn't require sources nowadays, would you have any reason to begin the deletion process if someone uploaded this image today? I'm definitely not attempting to interrupt deletion if you have any evidence of a problem. Nyttend (talk) 01:26, 14 August 2016 (UTC)


 * The concern was that I was wanting the source to check if it was actually "Federal" govt, which seems likely given the photos subject vs a "state" government, one. The distinction is important because not all "state" Govt media is 'free', something that after November I'd encourage Wikipedians to lobby about. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:07, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

7IN D&BC 1950.jpg
I am curious about the discussion... Referal to FFD, because the sourcing is somewhat vauge, and in an informal IRC discussion, there was some comments that certain things didn't look right in the image. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:17, 1 August 2016 (UTC) I believe when I originally posted it, I met the requirement by identifying the source as US government or was it US Army but what I am interested in is the comment that "there was some comments that certain things didn't look right in the image". Could you tell me about that, I could not find the comment. Meyerj (talk) 12:57, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * IRC isn't loged, the nature of the concern was that the image was underexposed or washed out in the print. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 00:39, 19 August 2016 (UTC)


 * I received another notice about this image. Am I supposed to have input?  I think it should be retained.  However that seems selfish of me as I posted it originally.  The image was taken (most likely) by the 3d IN Div PAO or the Ft Devens PAO. The US Army photo was discovered in the personal photo album of the organizer of the unit.  All of the musical instruments and equipment accompanied the unit to North Korea where, during the December 1950 X US Corps evacuation, they were destroyed when the ports of Wonsan and Hungnam were blown up to deny the enemy use of the port. Only god knows how many of the men in the photo returned to the US as the 7th IN RGT Drum and Bugle Corps was not a TO&E band; they were not bandsmen by MOS.


 * You should comment in the FFD thread :), The concern was not about it's copyright status, but it was a technical concern about the image print. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:37, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Since you are
my best informed source about copyright, my conscience regarding copyright issues and the editor most likely to come after me if I get it wrong I decided to run this past you before proceeding. I am about to upload some pictures for the Karl Blossfeldt article. They are, or will be, taken from his 1929 book Urformen der Kunst. As far as I can tell German copyrights last for 75 or 80 years after the author’s death and Blossfelldt died in 1932, so 80 years has passed. Is it okay for me to scan and post these on wikipedia?

re: File source problem with File:MSchwartz 6-6-1970.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:MSchwartz 6-6-1970.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. etc

Sfan00 -- I MAY have located the "source" problem as the wizard did not indicate this info was required and I uploaded the file using the wiki wizard which clearly specifies the copyright and content are public domain wiki common usage and yes, I created that particular file from archive material that is also within my own publishing company's copyright domain but the photo belongs to universal historic material that is public domain and wiki common usage. Therefore, I don't even limit it to my copyright privileges. I thought that when we upload using the wiki wizard that the wizard shows the copyright status and that it would also show that I created the content and uploaded it (as it must since you contacted me).

But I am not an expert and would appreciate any help that fits my pay grade so that that photo is not "vandalized" by deletions when it is clearly apropos to the subject and readership of that wiki page and content. I've used the wizard several times and I thought I got it right this time and that there would be no confusion about the public domain wiki common usage nature of the photo. I hope I have clarified any "source" questions as both the publication and photographer no longer exist. (This is the only hotlink that directs me to any substantive person or discussion on this matter.) Thanks, Sfan00 for your interest and help. I hope my edits have resolved the matter and there is no need for any further bother over this. Readers of wiki pages (myself included) appreciate all the effort that page editors muster to make wiki the accurate, complete, excellent and the "instant" resource internet users expect.

File:Colonel Emmett Smith "Cyclone" Davis 1962.jpg
Hi Sfanoo IMG. You tagged File:Colonel Emmett Smith "Cyclone" Davis 1962.jpg for a move to Commons and I'm wondering why you feel that the cc-by-sa-4.0 is correct. The source of the file is given as "Davis Family Archives" and the license is "Davis Family Archives CC BY-SA", but there's no link provided or OTRS permission received template which verifies this. Moreover, the photographer is listed as unknown, which likely means that the Davis Family did not take this and may not hold the copyright on the photo. Maybe it would be best to ask about this at WP:FFD or WP:MCQ, or even c:COM:VP/C. It's quite possible that the photo is an official photo taken by a member of the US Air Force and thus qualifies as c:Template:PD-USGov-Military-Air Force, but that's not the same as a cc-by-sa-4.0? -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:30, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

The above applies to File:Cyclone Davis standing by his P-40.jpg and File:Gabby Gabreski (left) and Cyclone Davis (2nd from left), Wheeler Officers Club 1941.jpg. These two are much older than the infobox photo and might also be in the public domain, but I don't think the Davis Family is the copyright holder of these as well, and if they are then OTRS permission might still be needed. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:47, 17 December 2016 (UTC)


 * FFD, I thought on the basis of the source it was PD-heirs or simmilar in good faith, but could be wrong. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:02, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
 * You might be right, but a couple of other files uploaded by the same uploader have been tagged with No permission. FWIW, I think these may be PD if they are official military photos, but I think more information is needed about them. Pinging who tagged File:35th Squadron - Cyclone's Flying Circus - Three Mile, New Guineo, c. September 1943.jpg with no permission to get some more input. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:22, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Assuming that the file is not PD (and without commenting on whether the file is PD or not), I saw no evidence suggesting that the uploader is actually authorized to release and publish this image under a CC license on behalf of the Davis Family Archives, hence the no permission tag. - F ASTILY   22:51, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm working with members of the Davis family to get more understanding of the photos and the license for sharing. All of the photos were created prior to 1970 which means that they don't have automatic copyright protection unless there was a specific filing.  The scans of the photos, however, were created recently and therefore, even as a derivative work, are automatically protected by copyright.  Thayne Harbaugh (talk) 11:42, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

About File:Psyche20150929nasa.jpg
Sfaan I had question about the deletion of File:Psyche20150929nasa.jpg, which you had left a comment on. This was originally uploaded from here, with image credit NASA/JPL-Caltech. Can somone take a look at the doubts that have cast on this, as usually that kind of post is beyond any doubt public domain. Some research shows the possible author works for NASA JPL and also put it on his personal website. I don't see how this invalidates his work for NASA being in the public domain? Whats more it was deleted with a G4, I think because it was deleted on the, however the only "discussion" was the same person making the same point. I don't think we can allow NASA images to be deleted like this as there does not seem to be any clear evidence that this was not public domain NASA picture. I would like a genuine discussion about this. Thank you and happy new year Fotaun (talk) 13:26, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, Mathsci (talk) 13:52, 19 January 2017 (UTC)


 * I am sorry if a good faith effort to make files more useful broke stuff. I've marked the local prelim versions which you explicitly queried as Keep local.

 * That could apply to any product on the planet, including digital watches, computers and cellphones. I don't think this is a valid concern, but if it is all product pictures may have to be deleted from Wikipedia. Dr.   K.  18:05, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Nomination for keeping it Quisk logo/image
I was on vacation and was suprised that the article ond Quisk logo I had written was deleted. Arguments to keep and revised the article are the following: - Quisk has grown into an international company - It is important for people to read and understand the importance of the (a) technology (b) details on the corporation - Secondary sources include: - September 04, 2016 - War of the wallets: Quisk and Mozido face off - BY AVIA COLLINDER Business reporter collindera@jamaicaobserver.com - David Koerner, director of marketing at Quisk, said this week that the mobile money solution which allows telephone users to send money to each other — developed for use by the National Commercial Bank — is the best now available on the market. - November 24, 2016 - Quisk heralds e-commerce Micro-Transactions for Jamaican Entrepreneurs - Lindsworth Tech News, Caribbean Tech, Press Release - There is a huge untapped business potential associated with using Mobile Money. So says Douglas Halsall, Chief Executive Officer of AIS (Advanced Integrated Systems), who was presenting at the Jamaica Computer Society IT Knowledge Forum held at the Jamaica Conference Centre on November 17th 2016. He was speaking of the on business opportunities that individuals can embark on with the use of digital cash and mobile payments. He was also encouraged by the significant traction gained in the market by mobile money solution, Quisk as detailed in NCB’s Quisk Mobile Money off to a good start in Jamaica. - December 06, 2016: NATIONAL Commercial Bank (NCB) Jamaica limited, which has been chosen to undertake the pilot project to provide electronic mobile payments of benefits under the Programme of Advancement Through Health and Education (PATH) with the bank’s mobile money platform, NCB Quisk, will roll out its pilot programme next month. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greghenderson2006 (talk • contribs) 02:27, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

File:John Radford.jpg
I've noticed that the file being File:John Radford.jpg has of recent been put up for discussion by you when in speaking of its overall legitimacy wherein. As this is so, I've thus sought to endeavour to enunciate upon such, within the scope of your talk section.

The file was obtained from this site being,. As in doing, such being displayed by the source of the file in question, Flickr user: mellowdoubt are the grounds for legitimacy of the file itself. These are with regard to the ability to adapt, remix or transform or build upon the file, together with sharing, copying or distributing the file within any sphere or scope all in all. With such being said, I thus endeavoured to througouly   meet such in the presenting of the file upon such a sphere. As has been, stated and ascertained in prior, such would have met the guidelines of the Creative Commons Attribution-Non commercial Sharealike Generic 2.0 (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0) benchmark of which I sought to endeavour towards meeting. This file was also presented within this sphere so as to greater illustrate the article in question, as is the case with such an endeavouring being strongly encouraged within these spheres.

So, as this is the case, I would like to strongly recommend towards the file being continued in its current state due to the enunciations as were aforementioned all in all. Silverfish4 (talk) 19:02, 22 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia does not accept Non-Commerical licensed images. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:36, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

The file was uploaded from Flickr as is a common and usual means of accessing licensed files for the site for inclusion within articles as has been the case in prior. These files such as John Radford.jpg which are upon such are also licensed in nature, being that they can be used for such means. As this is so, I would do like to ensure and certify as to the status of such files in particular with regard to their legitimacy in all. Furthermore, I'd also seek to ascertain how correct the stipulated aforementioned guidelines for uploading such a file that as of present differs greatly when in lieu of such guidelines all in all. Silverfish4 (talk) 19:51, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I was asked to provide my opinion on this issue, as another Wikipedian who works with files and copyright. File:John Radford.jpg is sourced from this Flickr photo, which was released under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic licnese, as indicated by the license icons on the page. Based on the non-free content guideline, any file licensed under a non-commercial license is  and is subject to the non-free content policy. Because the file is non-free, it must have a non-free use rationale explaining how it meets the criteria in the non-free content policy. As this is a photo of a living person, it almost automatically fails the no free equivalent criteria, and is subject to deletion.
 * I have concerns that the file may not have been released by the copyright holder as well. As the person who uploaded the file to Flickr appeared in the photo, it is unlikely that they are the copyright holder. If the copyright holder (probably the photographer, not mellowdoubt) wishes to keep this photo on Wikipedia, they need to relicense it under an applicable free-content license and follow the image donation process. If you have any questions, I'll be glad to answer them. --AntiCompositeNumber (Leave a message) 20:35

Well, given that such is the case I'll thus endeavour towards being mindful of content from the like as was aforementioned or otherwise in this form or means. This is given the seemingly vague stipulations and guidelines for such on the part of the prior stated. With this being the case, I'll thus endeavour as well towards replacing such file for that article with another that corresponds to these vaguely stipulated guidelines in a manner that would be effective, precise as well as timely with regard to the occurrence of such all in all.

Permission to use figure in a book.
Dear Sfanoo IMG

I am working with Prof. Steven LaValle to help obtain permissions for borrowing figures or pictures in his upcoming book Virtual Reality, to be published by Cambridge University Press. The book is online here:

Moving Files to Commons
Hi Sfan00 IMG. I noticed you've tagged many files for transfer to Commons. Have you ever considered transferring them yourself? Best,  F ASTILY   03:51, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Most of them need a copyright review, that's why I don't transfer them myself anymore.Sfan00 IMG (talk) 00:30, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
 * It seems that a good number are Own work; what about those? I'm asking because I'm working on a tool that makes transferring files to Commons very easy.  What's your workflow like?  Would you be more inclined to help transfer files to Commons if there was web app (or embeddable gadget?) available?  Thanks,   F ASTILY   02:15, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Probably not, I'm not the sort of copyright expert that transfering stuff to commons needs. If the tool omitted the more complex licenses tags that aren't definitly "self", obvious free-license, or PD-old, I might be more open. The issue is to do with with having not just information on US expiry, but when something might expire outside the use (which was kind of the reasoning behind  Ady100 was, before Stefan2 kindly pointed out that it had overlooked something.). If there was an automated version of the Hirtle chart, that could be used to determine the correct status both in the US and globally, that might be more useful than a transfer tool as such.  I'm not sure how easy "wizards" are to implement in Mediawiki though.  The thought was you could run a wizard which asks some image questions and based on the responses does a determination of commons suitablity or not (perhaps checking existing tags and metadata in the process.) ?

File source problem with File:Mamiya500DTL.jpg


Sorry, my english is very very poor.

You say "I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear".

But in file's description, in "Summary" section, says "Source: own work". "Author: Alexis Alvarez" (it's me), "Permission: trabajo propio" (own work).

Thanks and regards!! Piero71 (talk) 03:59, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:The Eighteenth Angel Theatrical Poster.jpg
Hi, about this image, I think I uploaded two images by mistake. If you could delete this image (The Eighteenth Angel Theatrical Poster.jpg) and keep the other (The Eighteenth Angel Movie Poster.jpg). The latter is actually being used in the article for the film The Eighteenth Angel. So, the image The Eighteenth Angel Movie Poster.jpg is necessary, but the image The Eighteenth Angel Theatrical Poster.jpg is not. I'm really sorry for the incovenience and I thank you for the help.--SirEdimon (talk) 21:50, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
