Declined rename
Hi

Re. "Current name is accurate."

The current name is Adobe Photoshop CS6 Workspace, and it's an image of Adobe Photoshop CC - which is why the request said "use generic name if image will be updated in this fashion". It used to be CS6, but a new version was uploaded of CC. Cheers.

...and I just noticed that you did the Adobe Flash one: File:Adobe Flash Professional screenshot.png, which was basically the same reason... Begoon &thinsp; talk 13:12, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

An example would be the people who host mirrors of wikimedia content with ads, and reuse the images....that, or selling cds of 'snapshots'.

Hi! I have realised that you have reviewed my file "File:Singapore_Dengue_Cases_May_to_June_2013.png" attached to 2013 dengue outbreak in Singapore and it's safe to move it over to Wiki Commons. However, I have done another updated graph with the latest dengue data as of the last week of June and was however unable to update the picture to overwrite my first picture, I uploaded the file twice and still failed as the system auto generated itself back to the old first screenshot that I have uploaded.

In response to Pembrokeshire flag image
Hello there I noticed you posted on my talk page about my recent upload to the Pembrokeshire. I don't quite understand what I'm supposed to add to the page as I am not really acquainted with Wikipedia and image uploading. All I would say is that the flag, the flags design and the online image of the flag are 100% in the public domain and the licence to be used freely by whoever in whatever context. The Flag Institute is linked to the British Government and the Monarchy and for a flag to be placed within it's database it has to be completely free and be owned by nobody. This can be clarified and confirmed (if you wish for it to be) by visiting the British Library in London, contacting the Home Office in Whitehall or by directly contacting the Flag Institute.

Image licensing question
Hello there, Sfan00 IMG -- would you mind having a quick look at the licensing of this ? You had placed a deletion alert on there and, as this is my first image upload, I want to make sure everything is correct. I had contacted the copyright owner who emailed that we are free to use the image. I then sent him another email asking him to kindly fill out the permission form declaring consent to re-use work and mail it to me or to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. I didn't hear back from him, but in the meantime you removed the deletion notice. Does this mean the owner sent the consent form and we can now use the file? Thanks, Not Sure (talk) 19:15, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
 * No, it just means the item is pending, and isn't an immediate OMG DELETE this NOW! Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:45, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. I'm keeping my fingers crossed he'll get back to us, because there's been only radio silence since I sent him the consent form. Cheers, Not Sure (talk) 20:17, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

What does this mean?
What the heck does "threshold of originality" mean? It's not mentioned anywhere in Non-free content criteria. Prioryman (talk) 09:02, 8 July 2013 (UTC)


 * It means the content is "too simple", and is being flagged for review because it's content that doesn't meet the NFCC, by virture of not actually needing to be 'non-free', because it's not complex enough for copyright protections to apply.Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:04, 8 July 2013 (UTC)


 * So what is the solution for that? Prioryman (talk) 09:44, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Mitsubishi Fuso logo question
Please note that there is no "complexity" threshold for corporate logos to be trademarked, copyrighted, or otherwise protected by their corporate owners. The blue oval encircling the word Ford in a script font is hardly complex, but it is also hardly public domain. The same would be true for IBM's block letter logo. Use of the Mitsubishi Fuso logo in the article about that company meets Wikipedia Fair Use standards, and there is an FUR for it, but it would be a legal nightmare to assume that company's logo falls within the public domain because it fails to meet some undefined complexity standard. If a corporation or other commercial business entity claims its logo is protected by trademark, copyright, etc., Wikipedia editors cannot presume otherwise. --Writeswift (talk) 20:55, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually they can, copyright does have a threshold. One can be Trademarked, without copyright. See Threshold of originality. Werieth (talk) 23:19, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Note, though, that "originality" and "complexity" (cited in the Mitsubishi Fuso case) are not the same. Regardless, Wikipedia editors do not function as copyright, patent or trademark attorneys, even if that happens to be their day job. Trademark protection is still a legal ownership protection (see Trademark infringement). You cannot move a corporate (or other legal-entity) logo graphic into the Wikipedia Creative Commons License/public domain arena if the corporate owner or other legal entity claims it is protected, simply because you don't think it meets some standard. That said, Fair Use rules would allow the use of that logo in most legitimate Wikipedia applications, so there is also no need to try to change its status. The user just has to supply a reasonable FUR. Finally, in case you think only copyright protection matters at Wikipedia and not trademark protection, note the following, excerpted from Copyrights: "The only Wikipedia content you should contact the Wikimedia Foundation about is the trademarked Wikipedia/Wikimedia logos, which are not freely usable without permission." I stand by the last sentence in my first post.Writeswift (talk) 18:22, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Please note that PD-text does state that an image may still be trademarked or have other restrictions. It states Please note that there may be non-copyright restrictions protecting this image, such as trademarks and design patents. Claiming something cannot be copyrighted is separate from any trademark issues. In the Mitsubishi case the image cannot be copyrighted regardless of what the trademark owner states. There are two distinct issues that you need to separate (Copyright & Trademark) and treat each independent of the other. In this case the image cannot be copyrighted, but is trademarked. The usage of each has its own limitations and issues. Werieth (talk) 18:41, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * PS Non-free_content_review never uses the term "complexity" they only used the term "originality". Werieth (talk) 18:44, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Dear Shakespeare fan,

Thanks for the notification of File:Schwergewicht.png's tagging for missing rationale, but I'm still a bit confused: is the rationale I included in the summary and comment sections too skimpy, or is there another place to put a non-free rationale?

When I originally uploaded this image, I tagged it with the proper fair use rationale. Other editors incorrectly placed a public domain license on it.

D Monack (talk) 21:04, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Why did you tag it is lacking evidence of permission when it was a public domain claim, not a licensing claim? The painting is public domain (and is hosted at Commons here), and the remainder of the book cover is purely PD-text.

 * It was tagged as lacking permission because it was a 'book cover' in entirity. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:32, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't understand your answer. The fact that it was a book cover image has nothing to do with permission, as the image of the book cover was labeled as public domain, not as having been licensed. postdlf (talk) 21:41, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:NIA - Mirza Shadaab Beg.jpg and other NIA photos
I first uploaded this photo, File:NIA - Abdul Subhan Qureshi.jpg, on July 9. You have reviewed and flagged it to be transferred to Commons. After this, I then began uploading the remaining photos from July 10. All the other photos that you have stated have a file permission problem come from the same site, all linked from the same page.

The NIA website has a disclaimer that states, "NIA accepts no responsibility for and excludes all liability in connection with browsing this Web site, use of information or downloading any materials from it, including but not limited to any liability for errors, inaccuracies omissions, or misleading or defamatory statements. This Web site is provided “as is” and NIA expressly disclaims any and all warranties, express or implied, to the extent permitted by law, including but not limited to warranties of satisfactory quality, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose, with respect to the service or any materials.

I have deleted some parts, the full disclaimer can be seen in the link. I'm not sure if this qualifies as a file permission, but I am quite confident that these photos wont be under copyright. They are official photos of wanted fugitives (some dead) released by a government agency. They have been published on multiple media sources and blogs. You can do a Google Image search for the images and see those links, or I can do it and provide them if you need me to. BigJolly9 (talk) 21:14, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
 * You would need the NIA to send a copyright release to the WMF see WP:COPYREQSfan00 IMG (talk) 21:16, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I've sent an email to them requesting permission for the images. I hope they reply before this is deleted. Regarding the File:NIA - Abdul Subhan Qureshi.jpg image, I dont get why this did not have the same permission problems. As I stated earlier, it comes from the same section of the same site. Also, just in case they reply in the negative, I think we can use some of these images as "fair use", similar to the permission on the image File:Ilyas Kashmiri fair-use.JPG. This is under copyright but qualifies for fair use since it claims that "Ilyas Kashmiri is deceased and was a very low profile al-Qaeda operative". Coincidentally, I uploaded the same picture (also tagged as having a problem) of him, named File:NIA - Illyas Kashmiri.jpg BigJolly9 (talk) 10:18, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Just a quick thing regarding NFCR/TOO
If you come across an image that 100% you believe should be marked PD-ineligible or PD-text and made a free image, just go ahead and make the change; you don't need to report it to NFCR. If it is the case you have doubt, then certainly post, but you can help save a bit of time to do the clear cases yourself. --M ASEM (t) 13:20, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

File:Mentors from the United Kingdom in D.B.M.S English School.jpg
First of all I'm new to talk page and hence unable to understand where and how to reply to your talk message. The said voilated image is from the link http://dbms.edu.in/gallery/category/20-uk-delegates which is the official website of DBMS English School maintained by 3rd party. The link clearly provides with the ability to download the image in full resolution, ofcourse the licensing to free use the image is never mentioned anywhere on the website since in India unlike United States we do not emphasize on licensing their images. However I still did contacted by the school to make the necessary changes to the website to mention about free usage of the images but the school only has ability to make changes in the Calendar and the Announcement page only http://dbms.edu.in/school/announcements and all other links remain under the 3rd party access whom my school is unable to contact as of now. From the Contact page of the website http://dbms.edu.in/contact you will notice the school has no official online contact info so they cannot email to Wikipedia to allow the use of images. Under such circumstances what is the solution since I have mentioned the source of the images and the lack of ability to insert any sort of license. Verbally on phone I have been assured the image can be used on wikipedia but the same in writing cannot be provided since wikipedia needs an official email address which the school don't even have one. Since this image is part of The UK India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI)http://www.ukieri.org/index.html the image has it's own importance, and images of such projects generally comes under Public Domain and for unknown reason there is no wikipedia article on UKIERI so far.

Orphaned non-free image File:Baton Rouge Bombers Logo.gif
 Thanks for uploading File:Baton Rouge Bombers Logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 23:56, 21 July 2013 (UTC) Below is the rationale behind why the Baton Rouge Bombers logo should be allowed to be used. It is used in the Baton Rouge Bombers article. It shouldn't be deleted according to Dravecky (talk).

1. EISL Logos[edit]

Saw that we were both working on the EISL page. I wanted to add the logo of the teams to their individual pages. I found the webpage where you pulled the Huntsville Fire logo, but I can't figure out how to correctly add them to wikicommons to upload onto wikipedia. How would I be able to add the logos making them: Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free logo for Huntsville Fire? Of course, this would be for all other teams not the Hunstville Fire. Thanks in advance, User:spatms (talk) 18:40, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

You'll need to upload them directly to Wikipedia since Commons only accepts free media and these are the (theoretically) copyrighted logos of organizations. In the left-hand menu, open "Toolbox" then choose "Upload file" and follow the prompts. - Dravecky (talk) 20:25, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Thank you! Greatly appreciated. - User:spatms (talk) 14:50, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

2. Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free logo for Huntsville Fire Description This is a logo for Huntsville Fire.

Source http://www.logoserver.com/EISL.html

Article Huntsville Fire

Portion used The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.

Low resolution? The logo is of a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution.

Purpose of use The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing Huntsville Fire, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey.

Replaceable? Because it is a non-free logo there is almost certainly no free repesentation. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.

Other information Use of the logo in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy, logo guidelines, and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.

Licensing[edit]

Copyrighted	This is a logo of an organization, item, or event, and is protected by copyright. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, of logos for certain uses involving identification and critical commentary may qualify as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. Certain commercial use of this image may also be trademark infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Logos. Use of the logo here does not imply endorsement of the organization by Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation, nor vice versa. Attention	To the uploader: This tag is only for use on images of logos. This tag is not sufficient on its own. Please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. For an example fair use rationale for a logo, see here. Template:Non-free use rationale logo may be helpful for stating the rationale. Please do not use this template to tag non-free icons of computer software. Such items should be tagged with template.

Regarding uses other than in the original article: A detailed non-free use rationale is required for every article the logo is used in. Check the non-free use criteria and do not assume that existing rationales can be simply copied and pasted, as they may not necessarily apply. To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an 'appropriate' rationale please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template.

Orphaned images that are not really orphaned
I found a number of images you tagged as being orphaned and the file usage does state "No pages on the English Wikipedia link to this file. (Pages on other projects are not counted.)" but the images are in use in their respective articles. The images are from the 21 July category: File:A la Primera Persona - Single.JPG, File:CF Granma.gif, File:Christmas variations (2000).jpg, File:ConservativeHome.png, File:Dinah Shore Chevy Intro.jpg, File:Dixie Beehives.jpg, File:Dosburg Online KS Album.jpg, File:Film poster Crusade in Jeans.jpg, File:GoneAKit.jpg, File:Goochan.jpg, File:Heartbeattragedy.jpg, File:Jet Airliner single.jpg, File:Logo St Barth Commuter.png, File:Morten Harket - Vogts Villa.jpg, File:Nanking movie poster1.jpg, File:OGAP.jpg, File:PincherCreekPanthers.png, File:Searchlogo.gif, File:Seinfeld3.jpg, File:Seoul Semiconductor logo.svg and File:TheCityXM.png. I remember the bot having the same problem before it was shut off last month.

Image deletion nominations
I see you are tagging many images for deletion and even though you appear to always notify the uploader, who may or may not still be active on this wiki, you don't tag the image caption with the template deletable image-caption which is supposed to be a deletion nomination requirement as indicated in the nomination template added to images. This is rather useful as article watchers may notice and fix the image's problems, otherwise they would need to be watching FFD or RFC pages or looking at categories such as Wikipedia files missing permission, etc. I seem to recall that some years ago Twinkle did this for us but that function, under "xfd" and "di" has broken and is unlikely to be fixed, so placing the notification manually is a great courtesy that you may want to consider even though it takes a little more time but it more likely gets noticed. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 08:28, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Many of them seem to be my nominations of content from other uploaders or transfers, nominations of material that was at the time moved in good faith and which were deleted due to subsuqent discoveries or debate. I am still willing to assume good faith.

Your concerns seem to be : i) Attribution - I've been checking through recent transfers manually, so far I'm NOT finding any issues concerning this (other than the one already noted). I ask again which images do you consider problematic?

ii) Where did you ask me to stop moving superceed PNG files? I don't recall you asking at Commons, or here? Can you provide a diff please? 19:05, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Images with copyrighted or trademarked elements
Hi. Please don't mark images for transfer to Commons which contain commercial logos or other copyrighted or trademarked elements, as you did with. These images cannot be accepted at Commons without being licensed by the copyright holder under CC-BY-SA or GFDL or an equivalent license. Since this is the case, the proper procedure is to obtain the licensing agreement from the owner of the intellectual property first, report it to Commons OTRS, and then transfer it to Commons, or leaving it here with a fair-use rationale. Anything else risks the image being deleted from Commons after being transferred, with no image left behind on en.wiki, thus losing a usable image. Thanks.

 * You should never nominate files for deletion if they are covered through an OTRS ticket unless you have OTRS access. Even then COI would suggest the aid of another user with OTRS access. If the OTRS claim is bogus file(s) can of course be deleted.

You asked
in a very casual manner, who the third man in this picture was? Good question for which I have no answer. There were dozens of what I will call "honor guard" types standing around Petry & Crandall, so he was likely an ex-military person of high standing or status in that world who was granted the honor of standing there. Another picture from the same day gives a bit more of a sense of what was going on at the time (I was there for the statue - I do a lot of sculpture editing) and a wider angle than that would reveal even more flags and retired military personal. I notice that you slide a lot of my pictures over to Commons, probably a good thing. I have had, in the past, very bad luck loading things to Commons and have given up trying. Perhaps it is time for me to try again. Unless you are happy with this arrangement? Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 16:31, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello Sfan00,

Recently you tagged the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Slurping_Sarah_Children%27s_Book_Cover.jpg as a candidate for deletion as it was an orphaned non-free image. I was planning to write an article using the image, but unfortunately, the article was removed from Wikipedia. As a result, feel free to have it deleted as there is no longer a use for it as I originally hoped.

File permission problem with File:Shawn Kemp Concord High School 1988.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Shawn Kemp Concord High School 1988.jpg, which you've attributed to Concord High School. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

Hello, I noticed that an image which I recently uploaded to Wikipedia has been tagged for deletion as a result of missing "evidence of permission". However I was under the impression that permission is not necessary since the image falls under the category of PD-US-1989 (the yearbook was published in 1988 without a copyright and to my knowledge a copyright was not later registered). Could you please clarify this in the future, so that my future uploads can comply with Wikipedia policy. Thank you.Djrun (talk) 18:01, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Moving images to Commons
Greetings. I appreciate that you've been moving orphan images to the Commons (such as File:Mazama collapse phase 2.jpg, among many other examples), but I notice you usually don't add any categories. Can I talk you into categorizing images when you port them over, so that others will have a chance to find them and use them? All the best, – Quadell (talk) 17:26, 2 August 2013 (UTC)


 * I tend not to categorise them as I have no idea where to start on Commons category tree. 80.176.129.180 (talk) 18:47, 2 August 2013 (UTC)


 * The trouble is, by moving an orphaned image to Commons -- especially one that has been nominated for deletion as not useful -- you are demonstrating your opinion that the image may be useful to other wikiprojects. (Otherwise there is no reason to move it to Commons.) That's why Commons:Commons:Categories says "It is essential that every file can be found by browsing the category structure." By declining to categorize the image, you are ensuring that it will not be useful, since it won't ever be found. It may be beneficial to move the image to Commons at categorize it, which will at least give it a chance to be used. Or it may be beneficial to allow the image to be deleted, so as not to clutter up the horribly backlogged list of uncategorized images on Commons. But to move them and not categorize them is the worst of both worlds. – Quadell (talk) 19:51, 2 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, If that;s how you feel, I can always restart the process of FFD's locally, which was also criticized. If they can be categorised on Commons, Do so, rather than complaining here :) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:00, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

 * I never said that. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:24, 14 August 2013 (UTC)


 * So why would Commons be complaining about files on en.Wikipedia? I made the assumption that a complaint would lead to deletion. -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 09:12, 14 August 2013 (UTC)


 * I'd previously had concerns from Commons, about poorly sourced files being copied over, It seems reasomable to attempt to resovle those issues first? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:13, 14 August 2013 (UTC)


 * I still don't see how making invalid deletion requests does anything except make Commons look like it's trying to take over en.Wikipedia. Perhaps you should implement a new image cleanup template for cleanup necessary before transferring to commons. -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 09:15, 14 August 2013 (UTC)


 * That was done previously, and I got yelled at, for NOT using speedy deletions.Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:17, 14 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Except that for files not eligible for deletion under the criterion you select, then you can't use speedy deletions, so, it seems, that a new image cleanup template for preparation for Commons is in order. Anything PD-ineligible doesn't need a source on En.Wikipedia, so shouldn't be tagged for deletion that way. If Commons requires a source, you could always tag it as do not move to commons instead, and use the general cleanup template cleanup with the rationale filled in as to what is missing to make it commons compliant. -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 09:24, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Outside opinion here. Commons deletes PD-ineligible images without a source because different countries treat very simple images differently. In India, for instance, many signatures are copyrighted. Commons requires that an image be PD (or freely licensed) both in the U.S. and in its country of origin, but en.wiki only cares if it's PD in the U.S. If we don't have a source for a PD-ineligible image, then we don't know its country of origin, and Commons won't know what standard to apply.

It seems to me that a PD-ineligible image with no source should not be deleted here, but it should not be moved to Commons either, at least until the country of origin is determined. Do we have a template for that? – Quadell (talk) 10:41, 14 August 2013 (UTC)


 * There is do not move to commons ; there is also the USonly templates, but that's for when you know it's only PD in the US. I tried to get a discussion going before within the various license template talk pages, and WP:MCQ on a similar issue. -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 08:59, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * If the file is eligible for copyright in the source country, use . Maybe you can use if the source country is unknown. However, it should usually be very easy to identify the source country as it usually says what the file shows (e.g. "logo of company X"). It's typically not very hard to identify in which country "company X" is located. If there is no way to tell what the image shows, then the image is typically unused and out of scope, although there may be exceptions. In most cases, the uploader added the image to an article shortly after uploading the file, and there is a useful link in orphan image to check what the uploaded did immediately after the upload. --Stefan2 (talk) 18:19, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Incorrectly tagged as OK to move to the Commons
Here's some files which you recently tagged as being okay to move to the commons, that sould have instead been nominated as F11 speedy deletion, as we have no evidence of permission of the original photographer. Please be more careful in the future, and ensure that the uploader is actually the copyright holder before you accept the image and burden the Commons with it. This is some examples, and there are many more such:

Hello, Stefan. I found this image in the Commons when I was editing a WP page. I've followed the link from the speedy deletion that you put on the image, but it does not yet have the 'contest' button on it. The only reason that I'd contest is that I can 't see the exact problem you see with the image. It is not missing nor corrupt (it loads just fine for me), nor is the image description page in the Commons empty. So, I'm at a loss to see why it would be deleted under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Could you be a little more specific about the reason you'd like to delete this image? Thanks. Trevor Jacques (talk) 12:38, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Tagging dup images from commons
Some of your last reports at WP:NFCR like File:Yuilop logo.jpg don't need to be there: if the file exists at commons too and there, not under any pending deletion review, then the file on en.wiki meets WP:CSD criteria F8 and can be outright tagged as such; there's no debate necessary for such cases. (There might be overlap cases where an image on commons is about to be deleted and the editor has moved it as non-free to en.wiki to save it but that's the only time where such overlap is appropriate). --M ASEM (t) 14:33, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
