File:John Gibb - b47958b192.jpg

Print by living British artist (John S. Gibb), not out of copyright, no permission. Nutshinou Talk! 10:05, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

 Keep The source attributes it to a different John Gibb that has been dead for a century. How sure are we about which one it is? The content seems a century old. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 06:41, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
Hi @The Squirrel Conspiracy, did you mean to vote keep then delete the image anyway? Simply, the source is wrong, I have been trying to clear away 3000 (and counting) careless mass uploads of still-copyrighted content from some aggregator websites (artnet, invaluable) that merge multiple people based solely on their name for months now, which I am unfortunately far from done. The source has the description "Grouping of 3 John Gibb Prints Station - 1996, Sea Side - 1993, Turness Abby Station - 1991" which does not match the attribution to John Gibb (1831–1909) who is a marine painter anyway. I'm certain this print was made by John S Gibb due to its content and there being another set of prints by him falsely attributed to John Gibb on the source website: (and by extension currently on Commons File:John Gibb - 6d24147bae.jpg) Nutshinou Talk! 09:01, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

The poster has a copyright notice and I don't care enough to look into if it was renewed or not. So I'm going to assume it's copyrighted unless someone else wants to check and it turns out that it isn't. Adamant1 (talk) 10:43, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

All of these are under URAA copyright. The oldest of them is from December 1946. If it were published in 1946 (which is unproven) it would have a Malayasian copyright until 1/1/1997, which was a year after the URAA date,

 Delete File:P. Ramlee mendapat anugerah A.M.N. dari DYMM Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong ke-3.jpg,  Keep the rest: Per COM:CRT/Malaysia#General_Rules, Malaysia's copyright term for photographs used to be 25 years before it was extended to 50 years in 1987 non-retroactively (meaning that pre-1962 photos were public domain by 1996, the URAA date). VTSGsRock (talk) 01:48, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
Under Malaysian copyright law, prior to the Copyright Act 1987, photographs were protected for 25 years from the date of creation. Therefore, a photo taken in 1962 would have entered the public domain by 1987. The 1987 Act extended the term to 50 years, but it did not revive copyright for works that had already entered the public domain. As such, this photo remains in the public domain and is eligible for upload under PD-Malaysia. BujangLapok05 (talk) 19:08, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
Specifically, this photo was published in September 1962, which means its copyright expired in September 1987 — two months before the Copyright Act 1987 came into force on 1 December 1987. Since the new law does not revive expired copyrights, the work remains in the public domain in Malaysia. BujangLapok05 (talk) 19:22, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

File:BSicon KSTRa exruby.svg

Exact duplicate of File:BSicon exKSTRa ruby Hotdog with ketchup (talk) 15:17, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

Is it possible to replace these duplicate filenames with redirects that will still work with BSicon templates? I just tested it out and it seems to work just fine, so I shall use this method going forward.
I'm still not sure how or why we ended up with colour sets named ruby/ex_ruby and also exruby/ex_exruby as well as other sets such as brown and teal? Presumably to either allow a 3-level colour system or to match specific line-colours?
You may wish to check my upload log for any more icons in the exruby, exbrown, and exteal colours which can be replaced by redirects. Icons that use two colours, for example File:BSicon ABZgrxl exruby.svg which uses both exruby and ex_exruby colours, won't be direct duplicates of anything and should presumably be retained? -=# Amos E Wolfe talk #=- 15:38, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

This statue was erected with donations of members and friends of a cultural association, and, according my knowledge, no one secured copyrights for this, as well neither in 1965 nor today a law protecting the copyright of honorary statues in public view exists in Greece, unless their creator has secured ad hoc such rights.

There is no freedom of panorama in Russia for sculpture and probably the photo violates sculptor's copyright. This is 1975 statue, sculptor's death year is unknown. Taivo (talk) 19:29, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

Per the sculptor is A.I. Kobylinets (А. И. Кобылинец) and the architects are V.N. Gorodkov (В.Н. Городков) and A.M. Manachinsky (A.M. Маначинский).
  • The full name of the sculptor is likely Aleksey Ivanovich Kobylinets and that would mean, he lived from 13.09.1938 to 19.09.2018) (see ).
  • The full name of the first architect is likely Vasily Nikolaevich Gorodkov (1914-1997) (see w:ru:Городков, Василий Николаевич).
  • Can't really find any clear information on the second architect, except that his first name might have been Aleksandr and that he was probably still alive in 1983, but dead by 2016. I'm assuming this based on the information from this PDF from 2018, which, on pages 95-96, is speaking about a monument by Aleksandr Manachinsky that should have been built in 1983, but the project was abandoned due to the fall of the Soviet Union, and it took 33 years for some locals to incidentally run into the architect's son, who happened to still have his father's original plans for the project, to finally finish the monument. This sounds like the father was already dead by the time the locals met the son, so the architect must have died some time between 1983 and 2016.

File:Malgioglio.jpg

No informations (not even in the linked source) about the date of the picture, no evidence the photo was taken in 1975 or before and it was subsequently PD in Italy on 1996-01-01, so it is not possible to verify it is PD in USA per URAA. According to Italian wikipedia, Malgioglio started performing as a singer in 1976, so the image is probably from after that and non-PD. Cavarrone (talk) 20:49, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

Wide World Photos is not the photographer, PD-old-100 makes no sense Goesseln (talk) 22:08, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

 Comment The license tag is certainly incorrect, but LOC says the work is PD. The LOC file info says that they made a search for a renewal and didn't find one - a requirement for copyright in the US for a work published at that time - meaning it is PD. Wide World Photos in this case seems to be the name of the photo department/agency that worked with the New York World-Telegram, the newspaper where this image was first published. It seems the newspaper and/or photo agency didn't renew their copyright (if they ever had a notice to begin with). 19h00s (talk) 23:31, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
