I am not familiar with the Wiki markup and for the first time participated on the Wikipedia content only two days ago, when it was brought to my attention all this nonsense that Oliszydlowski does on your page about Rosa Raisa. I will try signing here: Wikiuserthea (talk) 10:47, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

 * I am at loss where that discussion page is so that I can post Mr. Mintzer's responses. At the discussion page on your link, it says that it's the archived discussion and that it's not the place to comment or post anything there. Could you please give the direct link to either the media talk page for these photos or their deletion review where I can post Mr. Mintzer's explanations for each deleted photo? I would appreciate if you could assist in directing us to the right comment page given that on your advice all these photos were deleted.Wikiuserthea (talk)
 * Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Portrait of Marchisio sisters, 1860s.jpg was where you posted another message earlier today. Right now, we are on Wikipedia (note that the address in the address bar says en.wikipedia.org).  Most of these images were on Wikipedia.  The one open deletion discussion is on Commons.  (Deletion discussions are normally left open for one week, but Commons has a very lengthy backlog and they are several months behind.)  It is best to keep Wikipedia and Commons discussions separate.  The BEST process to use would for Mr. Mintzer be to email permissions-en@wikimedia.org, using the form letter at WP:CONSENT and providing any other details necessary about the copyright.  That way they can ask follow-up questions as needed and the conversation will be archived.  (Messages sent to permissions-en or permissions-commons are confidential, so he can provide any information he needs to provide, unlike messages posted on Wikipedia.)  Please note that the permissions queues also have a lengthy backlog.  Template:OTRS backlog says that the permissions-en backlog is a whopping 77 days.  --B (talk) 13:08, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for these clarifications. I'll send Mr. Mintzer the link to this page where he can see your comment and also your explanation on how he can contact Wikimedia by e-mail. I'll also direct him to your other comment on Wikimedia (I'll post this same reply there too). He doesn't know how to write directly on Wikipedia and asked me to do it on his behalf as I've been familiar with his research on Rosa Raisa. I was very happy to do it as I hold him and his knowledge of opera history in high regard. Frankly, I am hardly familiar with writing on Wikipedia either, but I know a few formatting commands and Mr. Mintzer surely deserves the assistance. He is a well-known collector of opera historic photos. He has also spent his lifetime researching on Rosa Raisa, whose family he personally knew for decades and Ms. Raisa's only daughter gifted him some private photos for his research. All these photos were copyright cleared when he was publishing the book and, from what I understand, no photo copyrights were transferred to the book publisher (who, in the meantime, ceased its operation anyway). On my part I think it's his generous gesture to share these photos from his private collection on Wikipedia but we fully understand that you need explanations about their public domain status. I do want to remind in general about the U.S. copyright law, where most of these photos were taken, that any works published in the U.S. prior to 1923 are automatically in public domain. Most of the photos he shared are dated/taken before 1923 and should be clearly granted the permission from Wikipedia according to the U.S. copyright law. At any rate, I'll direct him to the e-mail address you gave that he can personally contact with explanations.Wikiuserthea
