If this work is from Portugal, it should be kept as it is in the public domain in both Portugal and the U.S. Under Portuguese law, photographs taken before 1970 are public domain after 25 years, meaning this photo's copyright expired by 1991. U.S. law does not restore copyright for works already in the public domain in their source country by 1996, so the photo remains free in both countries.

File:Costa.pdf

Copyvio: many of the images in this presentation appear to be taken from external sources without attribution. For example, the screenshot on page 6 has both a logo in the lower right and a watermark; the cutaway image on page 16 has a logo in the lower left; and the image on page 31 appears to be scanned from a print pamphlet. Many of the other images give me the impression of being derived from other sources as well (e.g. cartoons, vintage photos, etc).

The uploader has claimed that all of the material in this presentation is their own work and was released in VRT ticket #2019052110002315. I do not have access to VRT, but this claim seems dubious in light of the evidence I've mentioned above.

Photo by news agency AP taken in 1987 (see source). It is not clear it was first published in Italy to justify it as the country of origin. If that is the case it would be copyrighted in the US due to URAA. Günther Frager (talk) 23:18, 1 April 2025 (UTC)


  •  Keep The AP never filed copyrights, and they did not put copyright symbols on their distributed copies, all after 1989 are automatically copyrighted. Italy also claims all images created in Italy are subject to their copyright law: "protected for a period of 20 years from creation". --RAN (talk) 02:42, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
    In Commons we care about country of origin and that is determined by the first place it was published. That is, it is irrelevant for Commons if an image is PD in according to the Italian legislation if Italy is not the country of origin. It is even explicit in the first sentence of {{PD-Italy}}: The country of origin of this photograph is Italy. . The link goes to the Berne Convention definition of country of origin. Now, if the country of origin is indeed Italy as claimed in the file, then as I mentioned URAA applies, or do you have a proof that image was published simultaneously in the US? Günther Frager (talk) 09:27, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
  •  Delete This photo, taken by the Associated Press (AP) in 1987, is likely under U.S. copyright, as AP is a U.S.-based agency and their photos are typically works for hire with a 95-year copyright term from publication. AP's standard practice involves from what I've ever seen including credit lines on their images (such as at least "John Smith/AP"), making it highly unlikely that the photo was published without notice prior to 1989, thus maintaining copyright in the U.S. until at least 2082. Even if the image was first published in Italy, which has not been proven, it would have been protected there until 2007 under Italy’s 20-year-from-creation rule. However, under URAA, the photo's copyright would have been restored in the U.S. because it was still protected in Italy as of January 1, 1996, extending its copyright protection to 2082. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 00:42, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

Chemical elements emission spectra

These are all the images of emission spectra that were uploaded by McZusatz in 2013.

To be clear, I don't blame McZusatz. The problem with these images has been discussed at WikiProject Chemistry#Radon and Radium spectral lines on the English Wikipedia, and we've been able to resolve the issue as far as that language is concerned, by locally replacing the images with newly uploaded ones. The question remains what to do about the dozens of other language Wikipedias and other Wikimedia projects that use them, often in the infoboxes of Featured Articles (or their equivalent in a given language).

The software that was used to create these was programmed by someone who didn't know what they were doing. The images that were created from that are unusable, and really shouldn't be out there anywhere. For example, the image of the Radium spectrum is that of Ra II, where it should be Ra I. The spectrum of Radon is a nonsensical combination of two different elements (Rn I and Ra II). Many other elements are affected by similar issues.

Trying to discuss this on every single Wikipedia/Wikiversity etc. that uses one of these would be impossibly time consuming. On the other hand, a mass deletion may be too much (and there may be good reason to keep the images, if only for historical purposes). If that's the case then I suggest to replace the files, either manually, or by asking a file mover to use the global replace script. The new (correct) files, resulting from the discussion on the English Wikipedia, are listed at Template:Infobox element/symbol-to-spectral-lines-image. --Renerpho (talk) 02:37, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Personally, I don't have a problem with correcting spurious images by replacing them under the same name. The original img will remain in the file history if anyone wants it for any reason, but IMO if we want to make it available as an active file, we should upload it under a name that contains a warning -- e.g. a corrected image as 'Radium spectrum', with the old img re-uploaded as 'Radium spectrum (spurious)' or something.
If that's too radical, we could move each image to e.g. 'Radium spectrum (corrected)', then upload the corrected img to that name, and let the clean-up bots correct all the interwiki links.
If we already have replacement files that ppl agree on, then we should switch all transclusions over to those new files before we delete these.
I think it needs to be handled with a bot whichever way we do it. Kwamikagami (talk) 04:22, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Overwrite with the corrected image. This doesn’t seem to me to be much different than the general case of uploading a newer version of a file that is better focused or the like. This would propínate the correct image everywhere. Include revision notes explaining why the files were overwritten. If after this the en wiki uses are changed to the now corrected version, then we can delete the other ones. YBG (talk) 11:02, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

As the grunt that uploaded the new EM spectra: I think the changes between the 2013 spectra and what replaced them at enwiki would be considered substantial (removal of rainbow background, band visibility, band positions using accurate data) and the licensing changed as well. COM:Overwriting existing files writes that new files should be used rather than overwriting old ones for those two situations. -- Synpath (talk) 20:33, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
 Delete, make an exception from COM:INUSE. If a viable replacement can be provided within ca 14 days -> keep and overwrite. Otherwise delete despite INUSE and let Delinker do the dirty work. Taylor 49 (talk) 21:06, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
 Administrator note We're not going to make an exception for INUSE. However, from previous times where issues like this came up, I'm pretty confident that if you just go around to the other projects and replace those images, using a good edit summary (in English is fine), those changes will almost certainly stick (sample edit). You don't need a big discussion first; just swap the images. Also, don't overwrite the images in this DR with new versions from a different program; that would violate COM:OVERWRITE. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 09:43, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Sad. :-( COM:INUSE: "Files that are in use may still be deleted for reasons other than scope." The only option left is to do vice-versa: replace or remove manually or with local bots, and then mass-delete the botched files. Taylor 49 (talk) 20:27, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
In my opinion, the quality of the new spectra is much worse than the spectra uploaded by McZusatz (e.g. old vs. new). If there is a way to significantly improve the quality of the new spectra, then replacing the old ones would make sense. Otherwise, it would be better to check which spectra are actually wrong and replace only those. --Mister Pommeroy (talk) 09:43, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
I wrote similarly on german Wikipedia. The quality of the McZusatz-spectra is much better than the quality of the new spectra, so you have improve the quality of the new spectra or you have to check, which spectrum is wrong (these spectra should be deleted) and keep the rest. --Orci Disk. 11:09, 9 April 2025 (UTC).
I agree. Replacement with spectra of lower quality doesn't make sense. NadirSH (talk) 14:55, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
The iron spectrum (the example linked by Mister Pommeroy) is one of those that are wrong. In particular, while many of the lines are at wavelengths that correspond to the spectrum of Fe I, a lot of prominent lines have been omitted, and the intensities for those that are given are completely wrong. As a result, McZusatz's spectrum of iron is missing many important lines, and is highlighting the wrong ones.

Apart from that, there are a number of "spurious" lines in here that are not attested for Fe I. Those are:
5001.91 | 18 || 5100.73 | 18 || 5216.85 | 18 || 5260.26 | 18 || 5427.83 | 30 || 5465.93 | 16 || 5466.94 | 20 || 5482.31 | 16 || 5506.20 | 18 || 5961.71 | 18 || 5962.40 | 30 || 6102.16 | 30 || 6147.73 | 30 || 6149.24 | 20 || 6238.37 | 20 || 6247.56 | 80 || 6416.90 | 20 || 6446.43 | 20 || 6456.38 | 200 || 6516.05 | 20
While I cannot identify all of them, most (like 6456.38) belong to Fe II, which (again) is the wrong ionization state. Renerpho (talk) 18:51, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
I should say that iron was not one of the elements I had originally identified as having a wrong spectrum, because most of the wavelengths are correct. Upon further investigation, there are problems with every spectrum I've looked at, and I now believe that every spectrum apart from hydrogen is false. Renerpho (talk) 19:03, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
Strike the exception I was making for hydrogen. The Matlab spectrum has the correct lines, but wrong intensities. Renerpho (talk) 16:31, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
Are all the spectra incorrect? What, for example, is wrong with the spectrum of sodium? Most of the elements listed are not radioactive; some are mononuclidic elements, such as sodium. In my opinion, the quality of the spectra shown in the infobox element/symbol-to-spectral-lines-image is significantly poorer than the previous ones. If replacement is required, in my opinion, better quality should be used --Elrond (talk) 18:33, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
@Elrond: About two dozen are wrong, but I didn't keep a list which ones when working on this during the radon/radium discussion. There were two kinds of errors: Spectra of the wrong ionization state, and spectra involving one or more different elements. Both problems are exemplified by the spectra of radon and radium. Since the intention of this DR was to replace the images consistently (in bulk), I nominated all of them.
@Mister Pommeroy, Orci, and NadirSH: "Lower quality" is subjective. You can find a discussion about the visual appearance of the new images, and several proposals, at . The major argument for the new design, over others that were tried which included a continuum in the background (like the old ones), was realism. These are close approximations of what the real spectra actually look like. You can disagree with that conclusion, of course.
Of course, correct spectra of inferior quality are preferable to incorrect spectra of good quality, but I see no reason to replace correct spectra of good quality with spectra of inferior quality. That simply makes no sense. --Mister Pommeroy (talk) 20:57, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
Are the two sodium spectra actually the same in terms of factual content? DMacks (talk) 00:19, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
If I recall from the previous discussions, one of the more prominent issues with the older spectra, aside from mixed up data, was the relative brightness of bands was unrealistic. Sodium is a good example as the D-lines should be the most perceptually intense, and that is not communicated by the older spectra.
As for differences in factual content, the number and placement of bands between the spectra do appear to be different. It should be noted that the NIST-generated spectra does brighten some of the lowest intensity bands to a minimum value so that they are visible at all. I do not know what heuristics are involved in setting each band's perceptual brightness for the 2013 spectra.

Synpath (talk) 13:38, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
@Synpath: I do not know what heuristics are involved in setting each band's perceptual brightness for the 2013 spectra. In general, it uses the "relative intensity" as defined by NIST. It then seems to take that and scale it linearly, normalizing such that the most intense line always looks the same in each spectrum.
The Matlab program comes with a file for each element, containing two values: Wavelength (in Angstroms), and Intensity (in arbitrary units). In the case of sodium, these were taken from Na II - except for a few low intensity ones (like 4238.99) that may have been deleted from NIST since; two entries that were added from somewhere else (probably not NIST); and the first entry (at 3711.07) which comes from an unknown source (it's not in the standard NIST table, and this NIST table gives a different intensity):

Highlighted are the two prominent lines of Na I, but they come with values for the intensities (32 and 16) that are very different from NIST's (80000 and 40000). Renerpho (talk) 06:59, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
Thanks for extracting the info. It is weird that a table for NaII would include NaI lines (5682.63, 5688.20, 5889.95, 5895.92). Maybe this is trying to indicate a distribution of unionized and ionized sodium. If so that really needs an explanation of the method somewhere in the file. ⇌ Synpath 12:31, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
@Synpath: Maybe this is trying to indicate a distribution of unionized and ionized sodium. If that's what the author was trying to do then that's nonsense. There is no good reason to do this, especially in such an inconsistent way. Renerpho (talk) 16:25, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
I've had a look at selenium, which was mentioned in the discussion on the German Wikipedia as an example of a spectrum that should be kept. The Matlab spectrum includes some correct lines of Se I, but also many from Se II and Se III that shouldn't be in there, and it's missing some Se I lines that should have been included.
Origin of the lines in the Matlab spectrum of selenium
Belonging to Se I (the correct lines):
4328.700 | 120
100500400300100120110200150120100200
To Se II (wrong):

To Se III (wrong):

Lines belonging to Se I that are missing:
7062.065 | 300

This is the first case I've seen that is mixing three different ionization states, and the first that involves lines from a doubly ionized atom. There is also no justification why some lines from the emission spectrum of the neutral atom should have been omitted. Renerpho (talk) 16:16, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
@DMacks: Are the two sodium spectra actually the same in terms of factual content? -- I just went back to Matlab and checked. Its lines for sodium are different from those published by NIST. So yes, this is one of the elements that are wrong. Funny enough, the two lines at 589 and 590 nm appear to be the only ones that the Matlab file gets correct (they are identical to those in NIST), possibly because they were added manually by the programmer. All the other lines for sodium are those of Na II, which is the wrong ionization state. Renerpho (talk) 05:31, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
@Elrond: What, for example, is wrong with the spectrum of sodium? - Since you've asked: Everything, except for the two most prominent Na I lines. It appears that the person who wrote the Matlab program knew enough about spectra to realize that the sodium spectrum looked wrong. Their solution - as far as I can tell - was to manually add the two "missing" lines (with wrong intensities, I should say). Renerpho (talk) 05:39, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
@The Squirrel Conspiracy: The radon image is used on 26 different projects, sometimes in several articles each. The number varies from maybe 20 to more than 40 projects for some of the other elements. Even if limited to the elements that have factually incorrect spectra, I don't see how discussing this on each of those projects would be feasible.
I am also tagging AntiCompositeNumber again, in the hope that they have an idea what to do. We discussed this previously on the Discord server. Renerpho (talk) 02:33, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
Of course, quality is subjective. But than you have to accept, that some authors and projects finds the quality and style of the old ones better than the new ones and wants to keep these images. And of course, in this case, a mass deletion request for all old images, overwriting or bot-removes are the wrong way. There are only two acceptable ways: 1. create a second set of new, correct spectra in the style of the old ones and replace the old ones with these images or 2. explain, which image is wrong on which reason and than replace and delete the wrong and keep the correct images. --Orci Disk. 06:57, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
  • Replace then delete; oppose overwrite. There are legitimately documented factual errors for some, and no clear and traceable factual basis for any of them. In a choice between "less pretty" "less correct" for a use-case that is about facts rather than appearance, I have to land 100% on the facts side. And that's taking as a given the opinion that these are less pretty, which is itself a debatable opinion. These are not merely cosmetic changes, so to make it transparent for downstream wikis they they are getting a different meaning, I support the use of different filenames. I do support waiting until they are not INUSE, because this is not a license problem or other case where we need to dictate how downstream uses our content. But likewise I don't see any problem with us as competent editors making those replacements on those other sites, with a clear edit-summary that explains that the old file was of uncertain (at best!) origin whereas the new is factually traceable to [identify source]. That gives other editors on those sites a chance to raise concerns about it, which we can calmly discuss. DMacks (talk) 16:13, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

    Leaving scientific files is wrong if content visible as information they give is wrong. Redirects are useful after deleting such files with updated replacement available because redlinks would appear but possibly not all '~ spectrum visible.png' files contain wrong information so exception may be kept at Commons or even continue with use at Wikipedia (new NIST ASD set is of course better than '~ spectrum visible.png' set used over 10 years, simply for assumpted information accuracy but not e.g. visibility). --5.43.66.110 20:23, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

File:MetroMoves Plan 2002.svg

This is an SVG version of en:File:Metro Moves Plan 2002.jpg, a copyrighted file. Does this file fall below the COM:TOO, or is it a copyright violation? Eureka Lott 13:31, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

  • The map doesn't contain any artistry beyond TOO. Rather, it contains simple diagrams and texts only. Should be below TOO as per TOO#Maps.
— Meghmollar2017 • Talk • 14:35, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
  • It's not a map of existing conditions, though, It's an unbuilt proposal for a public transportation network. {{PD-map}} says that it applies to maps that consist "entirely of information that is common property and contains no original authorship." That's not the case here. - Eureka Lott 15:45, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
    OK, noted, but what elements of it would make it over COM:TOO US? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:30, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
  • COM:TOO notes that it's used to "distinguish works that are sufficiently original to warrant copyright protection from those that are not." Since the image is entirely an original work, I don't see how this can be anything other than a copyright violation. Also, the image is currently tagged as the uploader's own work, which is not accurate. - Eureka Lott 16:45, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
    Please read COM:TOO US, specifically. Mere originality is not sufficient for a copyright in the U.S. Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:04, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
    There is a substantial degree of creativity involved in drafting a topological transport map like this one - neither subways nor rivers tend to follow straight lines as shown in this image. PD-map applies to maps which are purely geographic in nature, like File:Appraisers.com - Map of the United States - May 2002.gif; this map is not that. Omphalographer (talk) 22:42, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
    OK, thanks for the explanation. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:30, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
    @Omphalographer, Therefore, many logos would have been disqualified for TOO if we consider the degree of creativity those logos required, despite using simple texts and shapes. But considering their use of basic shapes, they are kept on Commons. — Meghmollar2017 • Talk • 11:48, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

Exhibitionist material, no direct educational value

LevandeMänniska (talk), 16:34, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

There is no reasoning in the text. Its simply a collection of well known stereotypes about nudity. But nudity is not bad, its not artificial, it is natural. Because of licencing I have to confirm here at first place (!) that the footage is only from me and nobody else is involved. Therefore the accuse "exhibitionist" is a contradiction. The categories are completely new and there is no comparable footage in Commons. So the the educational value is high.
Last but not least licencing problems in Openstreetmap are similar. Most edits in OSM are made without the mapper ever have been at the place. Therefore its crucial to proof the real presence. Nacktiv (talk) 18:37, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

File:Map of Kurdish-inhabited provinces of Iran, according to a poll in 2010.PNG

This file is designed by a Turkish person who clearly spread falsified information. West Azerbaijan is mostly inhabited by Kurds but as you can see with Photoshop or any other photo editor he changed it to %21.7. Unfortunately fascist Turks spread false information all over Wikipedia specially the English version. If you check the English and Persian version you can see the difference. All over West Azerbayjan Kurds are living while Azari Turks are only in few middle and north cities but because government is backing them against Kurds they have power and spread false information about Kurdish population of West Azerbayjan. 2.99.207.114 16:40, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

File:Map of Kurdish-inhabited provinces of Iran, according to a poll in 2010.PNG

This map is inaccurate and inaccurate because the Kurdish population in West Azerbaijan province is more than fifty percent and now the twelve representatives of the province are seven Kurds. Kurdistan sarbarz (talk) 00:36, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Behåll The map might be outdated, but if the year is stated in the caption this is not a problem. A new very similar map has been placed on Commons by Kurdistan sarbarz and in at least SVWP this 2010 map has been exchanged for the new one. BUT: the nww one gives netiher year nor sources. Until this is declared, I think that the new map cannot be trusted and should not be used. Also when this is done, there is no reason to delete the olld one - just give them different years in the file namne Chandra Varena (talk) 06:55, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

  •  Keep. I don't think there is anything architecturally creative here. This is a telescope. It is designed simply for scientific function. The building is wholly utilitarian.

    It does look like an absolutely utilitarian dome. I'll give at least 50-50 odds on it being deleted, anyway. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:55, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
    It was designed and erected in the 2010s so it's in scope. Who says that telescopes have to be creative? There's nothing in No-FoP/Az that has an exception for telescopes that some people don't find interesting. A utilitarian dome is still a building that's covered by No-FoP/Az. Editors should stoping trying to find novel ways to circumvent the policies IMHO. I did not write the Az laws. I did not write the Commons policies. Please don't blame me or my nominations when I point out that there are images that contravene these laws & policies. Laurel Lodged (talk) 10:14, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
    Just in case you were replying specifically to me, I merely made a prediction based on the outcomes of previous deletion threads. But I think your reply was more general. I also think that it correctly describes Wikimedia Commons policy and practices. Ikan Kekek (talk) Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:14, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
    @Laurel Lodged: Your nominations of Azerbaijani buildings have been indiscriminate and careless in my opinion. Have some been deleted? Sure. But a month or so ago you nominated dozens of utilitarian industrial structures for deletion and they were almost universally kept. This is a simple cylindrical structure with an engineered (not architectural) telescopic dome at the top. This is a large scientific instrument, nothing more and nothing less. The principles of COM:UA and COM:TOO apply here. IronGargoyle (talk) 07:25, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
    I agreee with you. Keep the file, warn the nominator. 186.174.103.91 21:34, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
    @IronGargoyle: Your opinion does not chime with the facts. It may have been more accurate some months ago when I was still grappling with the niceties of privacy law and Commons policies in certain countries and certain media. It's a fairly arcane area of study; the average editor could not be expected to know all this at the start. But as time has gone by, I have learned what is acceptable under the No-Fop\Az policy and what is not. As a result, my recent nominations have conformed to policies and, consequently, have been largely upheld by closing admins. Since you have participated in many of the nominations that were upheld, you know this to be the case. Your above opinion, therefore, is an unfair chararterisation of my nominations. I think that you should strike the offending comments. Laurel Lodged (talk) 16:07, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
 Keep, I agree with above that the design of the telescope is purely utilitarian. Also, about the nominations by Laurel Lodged, although there are still problems such as not considering de minimis and PD-old, I think the recent nominations are more reasonable than the mass nominations a month before. Tvpuppy (talk) 19:32, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Changed to  Delete as a low-resolution upload from 2010s and almost lacks metadata, except a "FBMD" transmission code. Like my previous rationales for images directly imported from Zuckerberg's (wretched) platforms: Most likely previously published on Facebook: FBMD transmission code seen at the metadata of this image. Proof of identity verification of the true copyright holder (the photographer) via email correspondence is required for images previously published on social media so to confirm if the uploader is indeed the photographer (the copyright holder) of this image and that the photographer (the copyright owner) has applied the license as indicated, as there have been numerous cases on Wiki before (and up to now) that the uploaders just grabbed images from Facebook or other social media sites. For email template, see COM:VRTS#Email message template for release of rights to a file. Better still, have the original overwrite this social media platform-derived image, if the image is truly self-photographed work of the uploader. Do not place FoP categories and do not restore, unless the aforementioned provenance has been made by the uploader or the true copyright holder. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 03:26, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
Good catch. I missed that when I looked at it before. I found the same image available on Google here . The image appears to be uploaded to Google in 2016 and the EXIF data of that image suggested it was taken in 2009. Both dates were before the date it was uploaded here in Commons. Combining with the fact it says FBMD in the EXIF data here as mentioned above, this image is unlikely to be uploader’s own work. So, we have to  Delete this. Tvpuppy (talk) 11:08, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

 Keep I am the author of this photo, and I release it under a free license.

The object in this image is a scientific telescope located in the Pirgulu State Reserve Observatory in Azerbaijan. It is not a piece of architecture, sculpture, or public art, but a functional scientific instrument, similar to other publicly visible technical infrastructure (e.g., antennas, weather stations, etc.).

This telescope’s design is not intended as a copyrighted artistic or architectural expression. Therefore, Freedom of Panorama restrictions should not apply here. The photo does not infringe on any copyrighted work because no artistic or architectural elements are being depicted.

Furthermore, this observatory is a public institution, and the telescope is in open view from public access areas.

For these reasons, I kindly request that the image be kept.

Hello @PolDark95
I certainly understand your point about trying to help. But keep in mind that there are thousands of articles on Wikipedia about people without a suitable image. Firstly, because there may not be a free image anywhere, or in the case of older or people that died, the copyright period for their photographs hasn't yet expired. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 11:45, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
Of course, you could also contact the copyright holder directly to see if they'd be willing to release the image for Commons. I've already done this myself with Shani Louk and asked a photographer who had taken pictures from her. A friendly and polite request sometimes works wonders, and the rights holder is happy to publish the photo under a suitable license. I'll take Didier Auriol as an example. There's a photo of the FiA on Flickr, but it's not free. But I think it wouldn't hurt to write to the account on Flickr, and maybe they'll release the image. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 11:59, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

File:Flag of Almoravid dynasty 1073 1147.svg

Out of Scope – Not Educational There are no credible sources confirming that this was their actual flag. The typography appears to be digital, and the design has changed multiple times throughout the upload history. The website cited as a source is of very low quality and cannot be considered reliable in this context.

This flag became widely used mainly because it is included in certain templates that appear in many articles—particularly in battle infoboxes. It was uploaded back in 2010, which allowed it to spread extensively over time.

A fictional flag template has been added since 2014. The description claims it’s a white flag with Maghrebi script, yet the image shows a grey flag. Maghrebi script itself has many stylistic variations—so why was that specific version chosen? Based on what evidence or criteria? Riad Salih (talk) 01:29, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello @Riad Salih. The flag as it is, is probably either fictional or speculative. I've taken a picture from Nabil Mouline's book "Flags and Banners of Morocco" (أعلام ورايات المغرب), where you can see various types of Almoravid flags, based on history or available remains. It seems that the author of the file has combined two of those flags in one. Regardless, I vote Keep while renaming the file appropriately as "speculative" or "fictional". Deletion is not helpful, because the file may just get recreated at a later date. Ideophagous (talk) 08:59, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
Thank you for your response, @Ideophagous. I’ve already checked the sources, they’ve already been added here. I would also like to know exactly what Nabil Mouline relied on for the flags, especially considering they remain uncertain and debated to this day, unless he discovered some rare manuscript that no one else has found yet (He himself, under the image you showed, clearly stated “probably,” and he didn’t even provide the reasons behind his assumptions—making them even more unreliable).
  • First, if a banner is used in a battle, a city, or a region, that does not automatically mean it was the official flag of the Almoravids.
  • Second, if you're truly knowledgeable about the Almoravid state, you’ll know it had a specific philosophy regarding typography and ornamentation. It was very precise, and every detail mattered, just like with other dynasties from that period. We can’t just use random typography and colors and present it as historical. We shouldn’t continue using fictional or speculative flags. It's a misleading content. Given the actual design of this file, the probability that such typography was actually used is close to 0%. You can verify this by comparing it with coins from that period.
There’s no educational value here, so there’s no reason to keep it. Riad Salih (talk) 09:12, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello @Riad Salih. I can see your point, but I think keeping the file and specifying clearly that it's speculative or fictional (if needed both in the name and description of the file) would be more useful to other Wikimedians and to the public. Concerning the sources used by Mouline, there's a list of references at the end of the book, and he also mentions that he consulted the national archives and museums in several countries. But I don't see a specific mention of the source of those Almoravid flags, only of descriptions of the flags from historical sources, which show more diversity than the ones presented in the page I linked (e.g. different colors and details such as Koranic inscriptions). Ideophagous (talk) 09:41, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
Sorry but content used must be based on reliable sources and serve an educational purpose, in line with COM:EDUSE. We do not include original works or fictional material, nor do we retain them simply because someone decided to create them .All WikiProjects emphasize the necessity of reliable sources to support content.
The book was published in 2023, while the file in question was uploaded back in 2010—15 years ago.
If the author consulted any archives or museums or book for these flags, please state them here clearly so it can be verified. The author himself used the phrase “probably their flags.” If he were certain, he would have clearly cited the sources that support such a claim. And in general, as I explained: if a banner is used in a battle, a city, or a region or by an individual, that does not automatically mean it was the official flag of the Almoravid dynasty.
  • You can upload a separate file and clearly state that it is fictional, and use it on the local wiki you are active in. I believe that’s the issue you’re facing.
Riad Salih (talk) 10:01, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
I have no intention of reuploading the file whether it gets deleted or not. Commons policy is a bit more permissive with adding files (regardless whether they're based on reality or fiction), as long as they have some educational value, especially if they're being used in other Wikimedia projects. The educational value of this file can certainly be debated, but I don't think it can be dismissed entirely. As you noted, flags of the Almoravids, even in reliable sources, are at best speculative. There's a source cited in the file, which has some examples of flags and descriptions, though the exact flag doesn't appear there, but is described in this segment:

The use of the flag in Morocco as a symbol of the state dates way back to the Almoravide dynasty (1062-1125 AD). Prior to this time, white silk banners were often carried in battle,sometimes with Koranic inscriptions written on them. The Almoravides institutionalized this practice. They gave one banner to every unit of 100 soldiers; the leaders always carried one inscribed: «There is no god but god, and Mohammad is His Prophet». The two following dynasties (the Merinides and the Saadiens) continued the use of the White flag as the symbol of the State.

Dov Gutterman, 17 Apr 1999,
My vote remains to keep, but rename the file appropriately. Ideophagous (talk) 11:01, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
Side note : The website you’re using as a source is extremely poor in terms of accuracy when it comes to historical flags.
Who is Dov Gutterman? What is his expertise, particularly regarding these dynasties? But assuming he is a legitimate source, he never explicitly states that this was the Almoravid flag. He mentions a banner (without any image) —which is a completely different thing.
He only mentions the text on the banner, without assuming the color, and describing the shape, size, calligraphy script and its position. We have nothing concrete to go on. I’ve spent months researching this topic and haven’t found anything substantial.
So unless we have a clearly documented flag that is easily verifiable and based on historical sources, there is no justification for keeping a flag that was uploaded in 2010 using random fonts and colors and which has simply spread by copy and paste. Riad Salih (talk) 13:49, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
The segment quoted in my last comment is from the "White Flags (9th to 17th Century)" section, so I think the color is pretty established. It's also in line with Mouline's depictions in page 124 of his book. Since an image could help readers visualize the description, I don't see a problem with keeping the file, while clearly mentioning that the image is a reconstruction based on the above description, and is purely speculative. Ideophagous (talk) 15:19, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
It’s not a reconstruction -- it’s a pure fictional creation (typrography, color shape) by a user from 15 years ago. You haven’t provided a single serious source that explicitly mentions this flag as it is or any original image of this flag representing the Almoravid dynasty.
I'm sorry to say it, but honestly you don’t seem to have a strong grasp of the topic. You’re simply trying to keep the file.
The website FOTW you are using as a source (where most of those flags on Commons are adapted from) is based on user contributions like Wikipedia, and hence not authoritative either.
As I mentioned, you’re free to upload a different version to your account and use it on the local Moroccan Wikipedia, as long as it is clearly marked as fictional. Readers deserve to be informed of that. Riad Salih (talk) 15:32, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello @Ideophagous. The Almoravids used black standarts as sourced here, not white ones. I think this is more of a reason to delete this flag. Nourerrahmane (talk) 12:02, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
@Nourerrahmane According to Mouline and Morocco Historical Flags the Almoravids used multiple flags and banners, with different colors. There was the black one you mentioned, but also white and red flags. If you wish, I can scan the relevant page(s) from the book "Flags and Banners of Morocco", and upload them to the Internet Archive, but you can also check the linked website. Ideophagous (talk) 13:15, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
FOWT is not a reliable source but some flags amateur website. I don't have informations about Mouline and his works but I can attest that the black Almoravid standart is clearly dynastic and refers to their nominal Abbasid suzerains, as stated per multiple reliable sources. If you can state where the white and red stand in this and also mention their uses (war banner, dynastic, religious...) that would be helpful. Nourerrahmane (talk) 13:37, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello @Nourerrahmane. Nabil Mouline is a Moroccan historian who wrote books about the history of Morocco, including one about historical flags and banners of Morocco, which is available in Arabic and French. I've scanned and uploaded pages 24, 25 and 27 from the Arabic version which is the one I have. In summary, what it says is that the Almoravids inherited the usage of white, black and red flags from previous kingdoms in the region, but that they had a preference for black flags, due to their religious allegiance to the Abassids. The black flag was the symbol of the ruler, but alongside it other flags were used, especially in white and red, some of which decorated with embroideries, the Tawhid expression (there's no god but Allah and Mohamed is his prophet) or Koranic verses. Ideophagous (talk) 22:58, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
@Ideophagous This is my last explanation, and please take the time to read carefully what I’m saying. You yourself have the book in your hands, and the text is clearly explained by Nabil.
A flag is an official symbol used by the entire dynasty; it’s not meant to be just part of a single battle or taken from a drawing depicting Abbasids showing various banners. Take the time to read what Nabil Mouline is saying and understand it. (and he isn't the first one to mention these things, by the way)
UNDERSTAND THIS: From the Umayyads to the Ottomans, the Arabic typography used was very precise, It's a whole philosophy. The Almoravids would never use this font and shape as it is in this file (look at their coins, analyze the font, and go check what I’m saying). I'm not dumb, I wake up in the morning starting nominating flags, as you seem to believe. Why is the flag not used in serious encyclopaedias or in articles on wikis like English Wikipedia, don’t bring me random articles on Wiki that just copy and paste content.
The flag was uploaded in 2010 as purely original work by the user, who tried to imagine the flag based on the text he might have read. That’s the reality of this flag you’re blindly trying to keep.
--
I can explain the process of typography, but the way you constantly rush makes it difficult to have a conversation with you, especially after your recent attacks, which I don’t appreciate.
--
The dynasty ruled for almost 100 years, so assuming that this was their official flag requires real, high-quality sources, not just observations or speculations.
We have some supposed banners; this one is not fictional, it’s ridiculous. Bring this flag to any professional historian who clearly understands what I’m saying, and you’ll see that you are taking things from the wrong side. Riad Salih (talk) 23:29, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

Keep but rename. The flag is very similar to flags from early 20th century Morocco, only missing some additional patterns in or outside of the 8-pointed star (based on "Flags and Banners of Morocco" by Nabil Mouline). Its widespread usage among some right-wing nationalists in Morocco (example), regardless of its historical authenticity, makes it a valuable item for the sake of documentation. Ideophagous (talk) 10:17, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
We don’t keep flags or banners simply because they look similar. This Marinid banner is clearly a personal creation.
According to most reliable sources, the Marinid flag was white. In fact, you yourself previously added a citation stating this: "The two following dynasties (the Merinids and the Saadians) continued the use of the white flag as the symbol of the State.
The scan you mentioned explicitly states that these are flags found in the early 20th century. The source does not claim they were Marinid flags or banners—nor does it provide any explanation to support such a connection. If you believe otherwise, please provide a scan the same book that clearly states these are Marinid banners.
As for the second website you referenced, it holds no academic weight and is completely off-topic. (Here is the translation in English, in case anyone wants to check whether it mentions a Marinid banner or flag.)
Information needs to be easily verifiable and, most importantly, based on reliable sources from historians with serious academic work. Riad Salih (talk) 13:33, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
"The source does not claim they were Marinid flags or banners" => which is why I wrote that the file has to be renamed. At no point in my comment did I claim that it was a Merinid flag, and in fact I pointed out that:
  1. Similar flags were used in the early 20th century in Morocco
  2. Similar or identical flags are used by right-wing nationalists in Morocco. The cited source is adequate for this topic, since this is a recent and still developing political and cultural movement, which uses that flag as a symbol. One could for example mention it (along with an example of the fake/speculative Merinid flag) in articles about nationalism in Morocco.
Hence the renaming would have to take these two facts in consideration. Ideophagous (talk) 15:30, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
Similar flags were used in early 20th-century Morocco—this means nothing in this case. The same goes for the website; its translation is available and easy to fact-check.
Things are very simple: we have the banner image in question—feel free to search the sources, even the book you cited. Maybe you'll find something interesting on pages like 46 (just trying to save you time).
We don’t need fake or speculative flags—it goes against the Commons:Project scope. Riad Salih (talk) 15:42, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
I disagree. Fake or speculative flags can still be added and kept on Commons, as long as they serve some educational purpose. It would be a mistake to apply Wikipedia standards of verifiability on Commons. Of course, a file that makes completely unfounded claims, without a reliable source for the scope of its subject, is a pure creation of the uploader and is not used in any other Wikimedia project, can be removed, precisely because it would have, in that case, no educational purpose. This is probably not the case here. Note that this source which we mentioned in the other discussion also shows a similar flag or banner, which it claims is based on the Merinid emblem (see section "Battle Flags with Marinid Emblem (18th- 20th Century)"). See also File:Flag of Marinid and Saadi Dynasty (1258-1420) (1554-1659).svg Ideophagous (talk) 16:20, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
Sorry, but I'm done with this discussion for now. You clearly can't provide a credible source, you're just forcing the same argument over and over. You don’t seem to care about accuracy.
Please take the time—don’t rush—to properly do you research the. Look into serious academic materials, then come back.
Earlier, you cited a source that correctly describes the Marinids' banner as white (which I agree, it's well-documented in reputable books). But now, you’re bringing this flag—File:Flag of Marinid and Saadi Dynasty (1258-1420) (1554-1659).svg—as a source, even though it was created by the same user, known for his fictional flags.
These flags and banners aren’t used in serious article pages (e.g., the English, French or Spanish version) why? because they lack historical evidence. Riad Salih (talk) 16:47, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
@Riad Salih I did not bring up that image as a source, but pointed out to its existence and widescale usage (it was also previously suggested for deletion, but was kept). It is unfortunate that my point keeps being misconstrued and I must re-explain it several times:
  1. This is Commons and not Wikipedia. Commons does not follow the same rules of verifiability as Wikipedia does
  2. You can discuss removing the image from Wikipedia articles on Wikipedia, based on accuracy and verifiability
  3. This does not necessarily apply on Commons, unless the file is not used anywhere on any Wikimedia projects, and clearly has 0 educational value
  4. Mouline's book does indeed say that the Merinid flag was white, and the same is mentioned on the website Morocco Historical Flags
  5. However flags and banners like the one represented in the file we're discussing have been used historically (early 20th century), and that's also mentioned and depicted in the book
  6. Morocco Historical Flags also mentions that the flag in this file comes from the early 20th century has the "Marinid emblem" (which could be the source of the confusion)
  7. You can see the actual flags captured by the French in 1912 in this image: File:Moroccan flags at the Invalides.jpg
  8. Additionally, the so-called "Merinid flag" is used as a symbol by right-wing nationalists in Morocco
  9. Therefore the problem with the file is mainly the name and description, and not its existence or accuracy
  10. Hence it should be kept and renamed.

Sorry, I’ve already said what I had to say. We’re going in circles here, and yes, Wikimedia isn’t Wikipedia, but the files should have educational value, which is not the case here. The user who uploaded the file, have a bad record and are known for creating original content.
You’re bringing flags from the early 20th century (we have 7 flags here), and none of them clearly state that it’s Marinid (not even the author himself in his book; the text written in Arabic: Moroccan Flags captured in 1912' in the Cathedral of Saint-Louis-des-Invalides in France. Nothing more, nothing less.)
Additionally, you mentioned that the 'Marinid flag' is used as a symbol by right-wing nationalists in Morocco. Sorry, but is this a serious argument?, and for your information, the symbol is much older than the Marinids; it even predates all Islamic states themselves.
--
To sum up: we have a presumed banner, the design should either be inspired by a real banner (which we’re still waiting to see) or a clear text that explicitly states what the banner of the marinids looked like that. The file isn’t used anywhere, and you’re just trying to keep it without putting in the real effort to do proper fact-checking. Riad Salih (talk) 06:19, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

These images are possibly not covered by eldiario.es licensing conditions. Main issue is that the images are not the ones actually published in the URL provided as source. They're higher resolution images that does not come from the allegued source and therefore cannot be covered by the license (it is possible to release a lower resolution image under a CC license while assigning a more restrictive license to higher quality images). Secondly, many of the images contain a clear copyright notice in the EXIF information, thus stating that such a specific version is copyrighted (see this or this). Finally, even the actually published versions keep a copyright notice, possibly invalidating the eldiario.es licensing conditions (see this or this). IMHO, the copyright status of these images is dubious

Only Tag "SANDRA LÁZARO" (example):

Discasto talk 20:21, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

非常有趣的觀點，但是這分成兩部分：

  1. 這些照片當然都是從eldiario.es上來的，和美國之音相同，eldiario.es是從圖片網址細部修改來決定檔案大小和裁切方式，例如這篇新聞的照片，可以有原網站裁切、最大圖片、最小圖片。如果以File:Cargas-Sardenya-Diputacio-Ramon-Llull EDIIMA20171001 0193 19.jpg來說，亦能取得較小的和原始圖片的檔案，所以你的第一個理由並不存在。
  2. 而關於網站使用©SANDRA LÁZARO和SANDRA LÁZARO兩種標記方式，網站並沒有說明原因，但似乎是要跟EXIF是否標記作者脫鉤，參見這篇網頁與其原始圖片。

因此要有更詳細的確認方式，應該去詢問eldiario.es。 --KOKUYO (talk) 20:57, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

Interesting point of view but the licensing conditions apply to "published contents". We can argue a lot about what "publication" means, but it's simpler and safer to consider the obvious meaning: something that is published as part of a piece of news on the web. Not something with a non public URL you have to guess and build (and you deliverately omit, thus forging the source you provide). --Discasto talk 21:06, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

 Keep As I understand it, all material on the website eldiario.es is covered by the license. This includes the above images. Lymantria (talk) 14:14, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
 Keep Normally I pass higher resolution images too as long as the author is correctly attributed. In a few OTRS cases, a flickr author does specify the use of a certain image resolution only but I don't know if eldiario.es says this in their permission statement. This eldisario permission statement does not mention image resolution unless Jcb, Jameslwoodward or Yann knows the answer. --Leoboudv (talk) 21:41, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
The only exceptions are third party material (attributed as such at their website) and comics (available with NC restriction). And they state that their license, CC-BY-SA, is the most open CC license of all, which is not true of course, CC-BY is more open. Anyway, CC-BY-SA is fine for us.

Tvpuppy (talk) 18:11, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

 Info, uploader claimed the author, Central News Agency (CNA), release the images into PD. According to the discussion in the previous DR, the images were initially tagged with PDM but it was changed afterwards. However, CNA is not the author, they only uploaded the images to the source website. The source page has indicated the actual author/photographer’s name in the image description for each image (also seen in the image description in Commons). This means the initial PDM tags were invalid. Tvpuppy (talk) 18:26, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

File:Selbstporträt (S. von Radecki).tif

This is described as a self-portrait (Selbstporträt), Sigismund von Radecki died in 1970 - so it's protected until the end of 2040, 70 years after the creator's death. Gestumblindi (talk) 18:45, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Apparently, uploader Dierp40 intended to reply to this deletion request and accidentally overwrote it, restoring. Their comment was "Selbstporträt (S. von Radecki): Für Dr. Franz Elsen, ca. 1950, vgl. Dirk-Gerd Erpenbeck (Hg.) Sigismund von Radecki - Familienbriefe. Köln 2020, S. 59, Abb. 4." - so that's a source, fine, but doesn't change the copyright status. Dierp40, nach deutschem (und allgemein EU-)Urheberrecht sind Werke für 70 Jahre nach dem Tode des Urhebers (in diesem Fall Sigismund von Radecki selbst) geschützt und wir dürfen sie nicht einfach reproduzieren, das kann man auch durch eine Quellenangabe nicht "heilen".

File:Maratha Empire in 1758.png

The Maratha confederacy did not look like this, this map combines Maratha holdings from different points in time and put it in one time (that is being generous as Shivaji's campaign in the South was a Digvijaya campaign). . The Maratha confederacy never controlled some of the places shown here. It exaggerates the borders of what is already a large empire. I can not find any sources that state that the Kingdom of Mysore was annexed by the Confederacy, conquering almost all of Hyderabad, going all the way South to Thanjavur in and around 1758. AlvaKedak (talk) 20:48, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Since the map is now unused:  Delete --Enyavar (talk) 16:02, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
Technically it is stated in this map "territory under Maratha power" - not "Territories under Maratha contorl". I think, in the Wiki article dedicated Baji Rao the First it is being stated, that in 1725 "In 1725, the Nizam sent an army to clear Maratha revenue collectors from the Carnatic region...". And at 1727 local rulers supported by Nizam were defeated. So I based on that information, I'd say that Carnatic region fell under some Maratha power in terms of tributary vassalage 83.220.236.11 10:57, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

File:Jane Skripnik portrait.jpg

The uploader claimed that this was their own work, but on being asked on English Wikipedia for clarification they admitted that in fact it was not. They have now stated that they copied if from Flikr, but they cannot or will not give a link to the image on Flikr, and my searches on Flikr have failed to find either this photograph or any other image of Jane Skripnik.

Prominent 2D artwork, contentious depiction permission per COM:FOP China. Grand-Duc (talk) 01:58, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

In fact the main subject is the bus itself - in this case no photos of advertised buses should be remained? N509FZ Talk 前置，有座！Front engine with seats! 02:58, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
You're too quick in jumping to conclusions. Depicting advertisements on buses, trains, passenger ships or planes may be totally fine in countries that have somewhat liberal freedom of panorama provisions in their law. In Germany, for instance, the Federal High Court ruled that the Kissing Lips on Aida ship bows (example) are covered by the local FOP law. But that's not universally true across the globe, there are lots of countries where 2D art and/or indoor displays and/or non-permanent displays and/or everything cannot be reproduced in photography at all. Please give COM:FOP and its summarising table (bottom third, also with a map) a read! Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 14:17, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
I read them, reviewed the image where advertisement ISN'T the main focal point, and thought that it's not the excuse of such abuse of power. N509FZ Talk 前置，有座！Front engine with seats! 17:20, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
"Abuse of power" - What do you actually mean? Please write what you want to say in your mother tongue, too. Additionally, in COM:FOP China, please take note of the last bullet point of the section: "Regarding 2D works like outdoor paintings permanently installed in public spaces and murals, a recent court case by Beijing IP court (2020) gave a negative decision: 'The Court believes that the general use of 2D art works by copyright owners is relatively simple, that is, copying works, creating derivative works on the basis of the original works for commercial use or authorizing others to do so. If a 2D art work is displayed in a public place, others can freely use it for commercial purposes after photographing, drawing or copying, the licensing and copyright owner's income will be seriously threatened, then the normal use of the work will be affected and the legitimate rights and interests enjoyed by the copyright owner will be prejudiced.'" (Emphasis as in origin). This ruling would strongly mandate a deletion per COM:PRP. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 18:57, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
既然阁下诚心诚意地发问了，那么我就用中文回应。滥用权力——就是抓着一点小权力就把它无限提高到满足自己的快感，正如中国国铁某些站段对旅客正常拍摄的粗暴干涉态度一样，国铁成都局甚至曾因此事闹出重大舆情。（Just like some staff of China Railway intefering normal passengers' photographing of trains or their interiors.）阁下提到的这个链接我也看了，但如果广告原作者真的为此诉诸法律的话，会不会反过来让所有巴士迷乃至游客噤若寒蝉，从而影响宣传效果，进而导致当地文旅乃至宣传部门的公关灾难呢？目前似乎没有哪个公交广告公司意识到这种“逻辑怪圈”，以“近年来在公交车文化宣传建设和研学项目方面的创新实践成果”为傲的成都市公交集团交旅文化发展有限公司一旦介入此事，会不会对自己构成“打脸”也不可知。 N509FZ Talk 前置，有座！Front engine with seats! 04:31, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello N509FZ, I asked for your arguments in your mother tongue because I feared that there could be a cultural founded understanding blocade. I wanted to avoid fostering the opinion that you thought of me, a simple fellow Wikimedian, as abuser of some kind of power. Now, I think I get it, as you wrote more content (using Google Translate): you're arguing that no Chinese person would dare to make a case against the photography of such advertisements, and on possibly similar actual events, there were a backlash in the public opinion against some officials. Such may be the real life experience, but I'm still upholding that it's a no sufficient reason to keep the image. Commons has the policy COM:PRP and the guideline COM:CARES, which are IMHO worded in a way to make an argumentation as yours not relevant for DR cases. Were the image hosted on a private website of mine, then I would certainly incur the small residual risk of a lawsuit. But such a thinking is not fit for Commons, I'm certain of it. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 06:25, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
 Comment: Still I hold the opinion that I simply wanted to show the "starboard" side of CAT6123CRBEVT tram-replica bus built by Chengdu Guangtong Automobile Ltd - depicting the bus itself, and the really copyrighted material doesn't necessarily violate COM:DM. Unfortunately there were no clear arguments for de minimis in Chinese copyright laws, and that would be a challenge for advertisers throughout mainland China.

File:MIC2025 logo.png

The file is the logo for Made in China 2025, in which it is not a document of a legislative, administrative or judicial nature or their translations. {{PD-PRC-exempt}} therefore doesn't apply. Meanwhile, as China has a very low threshold of originality, it is likely that the calligraphic "中" and the background decorations will exceed TOO, so {{PD-textlogo}} also doesn't apply, and a proper permission is needed with regard to the file. 廣九直通車 (talk) 03:23, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

File:Francesco Salviati Riario.jpg

This man is not Francesco Salviati (d. 1478), but Rodolfo Pio da Carpi (1500-1564), his portrait in . You are mistaking the painter Francesco de' Rossi, a.k.a. Salviati, probably the author of the portrait, with archbishop Francesco Salviati, who was hanged thirty years before. LTB (talk) 14:11, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

  •  Speedy keep. None of that makes this COM:INUSE image valueless. If you definitely have superior knowledge, edit the file description and categories and request COM:File renaming, but why on Earth would you consider any of that a deletion reason? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:29, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
COM:INUSE says "Files that are in use may still be deleted for reasons other than scope". The wrong identity of the man in the portrait must be enough reason to delete it. Will you keep a photo of Mickey Mouse titled "archbishop Salviati", because it appears in all articles about the archbishop?
COM:INUSE says "a file in use on any other Wikimedia Foundation project is automatically considered to be useful". I have deleted the link to the portrait in wikidata ; it has no sense to show the portrait of a person in the article of another one.
Now, I can edit the file description and rename it, but it does not worth if the same portrait exist in with the right identity. --LTB (talk) 10:11, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

@Donald Trung: I'm not saying claiming that "PD-VietnamGov" applies to just the text. My claim is that someone can't just crop a logo from a document and claim it's PD on it's own. The "document" is what's PD. Just like if there was an image of a stamp in a government document, you couldn't just crop it out and then claim the stamp is PD as a workaround to them being otherwise copyrighted. The template clearly says "Legal documents, administrative documents and other documents in the judicial domain and official translations of these documents." --Adamant1 (talk) 15:14, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
If a stamp appears on a government document it is usually too small (de minimis) to be considered, but it's a copyrighted image on an otherwise free document. However, a cropped out logo is different because it's a part of the document itself. The main reason why all the provincial and city emblems were deleted is because it's unlikely that they were ever used on official local government documents. Kind of like how a copyrighted work permanently placed in a public area is considered to be eligible to be uploaded under freedom of panorama, but the design in isolation would still be copyrighted. This is clearly a part of the document itself and not the design of the logo in isolation. -- Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 15:18, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
If you want a similar instance check out how it works with stamps of Finland. I really don't see why this would be any different. I disagree that the logo is "a part of the document itself." The logo is featured on other things besides the specific document that was the source for the image. It wasn't created specifically, or only used for, that document. --Adamant1 (talk) 15:22, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
  •  Comment To quote from Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Vietnam "Note that the term "document" (translated from Vietnamese term văn bản) here means "written information communicated by means of language or sign"[20][Decree 30/2020 Article 3] and hence does not include images, logos or emblems of any kind." --Adamant1 (talk) 17:12, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
That's an unofficial translation, the original Vietnamese reads "văn bản là thông tin thành văn được truyền đạt bằng ngôn ngữ hoặc ký hiệu", tbe definition of "ký hiệu" is "symbol". So, non-text symbols which appear on văn bản are in fact ký hiệu. An icon or a logo is a type of ký hiệu, in fact, even if we'd use the unofficial English-language translation "sign" for this we could still include logos and emblems as "signs". I'm trying to find "Article 8" for clarification, I'll report back if I can find if the quoted text is interpretation or as it was mentioned in the law. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 17:29, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
I can't find that any part of a document is excluded from the definition of a document here (On records management), but this seems to be the Decree 30 - 2020 mentioned by the Commonswiki page. I cannot find that any kind of symbol (including images) are excluded from the definition of a document. The list in Article 8 (eight) simply includes what an official document must include, it doesn't say that the definition of a document excludes other parts of a document, that is simply a stretch of the interpretation of the definition of "document", nor is this applied to the documents of any other country where government documents are in the public domain. It seems that the people who wrote the page "Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Vietnam" seem to have taken a uniquely narrow definition of "document". --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 17:44, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
that is simply a stretch of the interpretation of the definition of "document" I don't see how it's a stretch. If "document" meant "anything included in a document regardless of it's cropped from the original or not", then stamps and currency would be PD since both are printed in government documents at some point, obviously. They have to be in order to be designed and printed. Everything created by the government is included in a document. That's how it works. "PD-VietnamGov" clearly isn't a prevision for "government works" in general though. It's specifically for "documents."
You might be correct that whomever wrote the guideline misinterpreted the language, but that would be something to discuss on the Village Pump. This is the wrong forum for that kind of conversation. Even if I granted that it was wrong though, the file is still misattributed, unsourced, and has the wrong license. All of which would have to be fixed if the image is kept, but I think the file should be deleted anyway even if the problems with it are fixed. Your free to start a thread about it on the Village Pump if you think the wording in the guideline is wrong though. --Adamant1 (talk) 18:09, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

File:Saint John the Evangelist Cathedral (Downtown district, Dagupan, Pangasinan)(2018-02-25).jpg

This image shouldn't have been transferred from English Wikipedia. There is no Freedom of Panorama in the Philippines.

Per this blog site, the cathedral was completed in 1974. Cited people involved in the design and structure: Archbishop Mariano Madriaga (cited in the blog as the "project's chief architect and most ardent implementor"); Architect Arnulfo Chuchip, Jose Rosal, and Clemente Fernandez (supervisors and implementors of the design plans); and Antonio Naurin and Miguel de Guzman (who prepared the specifications).

The PH copyright law (RA8293) does not give a specific copyright duration for collaborative works like this, so assume the application of the duration for joint works for this landmark (copyright lasts for 50 years after the death of the last-surviving author or designer). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 18:15, 5 April 2025 (UTC)


Are there any other sources that back up the blog's claim?
The source cited in the blog is no longer available, and archives show broken flash players. Battlesnake1 (talk) 19:39, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
@Battlesnake1 the only other source telling the architectural origins of the cathedral is a December 2024 video by the official Facebook page of the church itself, which cites a non-online source as their reference (NANDAGARUPAN: The Story of a Coastal City and a Dagupan Bangus (2005) by the Dagupan City Heritage Commission). Here, the host mentioned the following individuals:
  • Arch. Mariano Madriaga and Monsignor Evaristo Soriano: led the ceremony of the first cornerstone.
  • Monsignor Leon Bitanga: under him in 1969 the then-lagging progress of the church project "gained momentum", and, together with the new Arch. Federico Limon, "rallied for support and ensure project's completion".
  • Parish council, "led by individuals like Teofilo Goyena, Arnulfo Chuchip, Jose Rosal, and Clemente Fernandez": "helped oversee construction".
  • "Architect Antonio Naurin and Engineer Miguel de Guzman": "were instrumental in realizing the design".
After that, the host finally states that the new cathedral was opened in December 1974. Inferring from these mentioned people behind the origins of this new incarnation of the cathedral, we may consider this as a joint authorship of both Naurin and De Guzman (who were behind the realization of the design), and the current rightsholders may be the cathedral administration itself (rights that will last for 50 years after the death of whoever the last survivor among the two mentioned).

  •  Delete. Assuming not published in the US. If a corporate work, it would be PD in India now but not in 1996 (1955 + 60 = 2015), so copyright in US for 95 years after publication date (1955 + 95 = 2050). BTW, if I go to the source page, there is also information about the movie. Google Translate on the image shows the production had a photographer K. Yes. If not a corporate work, then it might be 60 years after death of K. Yes, but that would still make the URAA date and still be copyrighted in US until 2050. Glrx (talk) 02:47, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

This page has been unused for over ten years (since this 13 August 2014 edit by Rillke, who was also the gadget’s author).

Please delete it :) --Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 13:58, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

I've emptied it as first step, with history open and inspectable. I tend to prefer this to deletion, for code pages as unlike articles, these don't occupy a topic or other place in the content hierarchy, and open source and archive references are easier to inspect and build on this way. I don't mind seeing it deleted later either way. Blanking is a habit I got into as global interface admin because it is less disruptive (easy to inspect, compare, test, and undo; revert notifs). Especially if we're not 100% sure if something relies on it, they can find who worked on it and etc. Krinkle (talk) 02:19, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

You have recently nominated two files on the basis that there was no FoP in Azerbajian, but did not even care to check what was shown on the pictures.

I reduced it. And as I wrote above, the preview you see here is wrong. When opened in Photoshop, it's normal. Because it stores a higher brightness range, some programs output it wrong (but it is needed, as these information are eradicated when compressing to JPEG (also called dynamic compression). So your claim is just wrong. --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 15:42, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
Why are there essentially no other images like that on Commons? All the other ones display fine. Furthermore, it can't be viewed on Commons and can't be used on any Wikimedia project. At the same time users like VIGNERON feel the urge to delete 1 MB-sized useful images. I downloaded it and it still doesn't display properly. I opened it in GIMP since I do not use closed-source software and it still doesn't display properly. It just clutters search results and is not useful to anyone. Prototyperspective (talk) 18:38, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
 Keep a useful and valuable photo (and still a small photo compare to Commons biggest, especially since it has been reduced), I didn't identified the exact place but it might have been affected by the war, making the photo even more valuable. There is a problem with the rendering but this doesn't affect this DR (plus, there is already another format). Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 16:13, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Let’s clear things up. Jose is an elderly man who doesn’t speak any English. He’s an amateur botanist, and aside from a small handful, all the photos are his own.  Zorion eko 11:51, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

As you can see in the debate, Jose makes it clear that the photos are his own. Actually, I ran about fifteen of them through TinEye and didn't find any matches, except for this one: Zaldun_ziza.jpg. So, apart from that photo, the others shouldn’t be deleted.  Zorion eko 19:35, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
Thank you for your job. But I found more than one copyright violations. Jose have uploaded over 1000 photos. He should be here to disclose those that are not his own. Even if he had permission from others to upload those photos, he should have given them credits.
--0x0a (talk) 13:32, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

If you could delete the copied photos, please. Thank you.

As you can see we're dealing with a group of older amateurs who want to put their work online. I admit they’re a bit clumsy and not as familiar with technology as we are. Every day, I have to corect their layout, I've been doing this for 3 years now, and he really doesn't understand anything.

Let's be practical. First of all, a large part of the photos they've uploded belong to them. There are about 1500 photos, and for now, they're only on the Basque wiki.

Second, he doesn't seem to want to check all the photos because he knows that a large majority of them are theirs or their friends. As for credits, I seriously think they don't care about it, it's not an existential issue for them.

The solution would be to verify the photos with AI, or if you know Python, you could do it. I don't know anything about that. What I can do is give you the list of all their photos in URL format ("https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cc/Piperatus.jpg"), but that's the best I can do.

AI gaves me that: This Python script is designed to check information about images hosted on Wikimedia Commons, specifically looking at their description pages. It extracts details like the image's title and licensing information. The script works by fetching the Wikimedia Commons page for each image using its direct URL and then scraping the page for relevant details.

It is not clear to me what the issue is with the listing, why it should have been put forward for deletion. The publisher still exists, and the intention is for it to publish one or two further titles later this year. Could you please clarify the issue? At the time of creation a check was done to see if there was any conflict regarding the name. None was found, and I cannot think of any other potential copyright issues. The cover image is from an old, original photograph, thus a one-off, purchased from a seller in the US.

Hi, I'm really not sure who took this image, which is why I didn't attach a U.S. Government tag. The only Commons tag that I thought I would apply would be the one in the WH's copyright policy. File:Homepage of Trump's White House website (January 2025).png uses possibly copyrighted images citing CC BY 3.0 U.S. but attached U.S. GOV tag. Make what you will of that. Rexophile (talk) 19:00, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
Another thing to notice is that the jpg is not a low quality version of the png and webp that I uploaded. They literally just took the low-res image and scaled it up; there is no quality difference. Rexophile (talk) 19:07, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
@Rexophile Thanks for your response and for posting the link to the copyright page.
As far as the quality, generally, photographs start out as JPEGs and when they're converted to PNG or WEBP (not sure if you did "save as" with the browser or took a screenshot), you lose a lot of sharpness, so it's preferred that photographs are saved in their original JPEG format. Plus, JPEGs load faster on Wikipedia since the site automatically creates lower-res thumbnails, so it's a better user experience. Since the three files are essentially redundant, it makes sense to keep the JPEG over the PNG and WEBP. Adeletron 3030 (talk) 19:34, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

@Rexophile The file at the whitehouse.gov link is a JPEG. It's possible that your browser automatically downloads as WEBP (mine does it so I had to go into the settings to make it stop). But why keep the PNG when it's lower resolution and it's a "flattened" version of the JPEG that performs worse on Wikipedia? Adeletron 3030 (talk) 20:14, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

@Affable Familiar But the image has been published as early as 2017, uncropped and at higher resolutions, so a low-res Flickr upload dated February 2025 is obviously not the source.

Incorrect {{PD-US-expired}} claim. More recent Mickey Mouse is still under copyright. See also:

Wcam (talk) 17:56, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

 Keep: more recent is critical to the request - this Mickey Mouse is more closed to the 1928 version (the Steamboat Willie one, see File:Mickey-Mouse.png) which is public domain in 2025, and the wordmark is under TOO in the USA.
The File:Walt disney logo mickey.svg was deleted because the logo was out of scope, not because the logo was under copyright. I can't see deleted images, but according to the Fandom article, the 2011 version is based on morden Mickey Mouse (See en:File:Modern Mickey Mouse.png), and that's why the community deleted File:Disney Junior logo 2011.svg. I believe File:Globo Gigante Mickey Mouse - A740158.jpg was based on morden Mickey Mouse as wll.
I have asked the image's copyright questions on English Wikipedia, and @Ajpolino believe the logo is fine and undelete the logo, so I think I should ping them as well. Saimmx (talk) 05:05, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
p.s., File:Disney Junior logo 2011.svg was deleted more because 3D is over TOO is per consensus, but the request looks weak per someone mentioned in it. Saimmx (talk) 05:12, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

  •  Question. Is this an actual 1928-1929 drawing of Mickey Mouse? Or is this a modern drawing in the style of 1928-1929 Mickey Mouse? IronGargoyle (talk) 18:42, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
It strongly depends on the answer to IronGargoyle’s question. Even if an image depicts a public domain character, if the image isn’t public domain itself, then it is copyrighted. I can draw Mickey Mouse based off the 1928 version right now, but it will be copyrighted because it’s an original drawing from 2025. Star Manatee (talk) 14:59, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
As a reminder, per COM:EVID, the burden of proof lies on the uploader or other person arguing for the file to be retained. Otherwise if we don't know the asnwer to this question, this image should be deleted per COM:PRP. Wcam (talk) 02:48, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
@Wcam I'd rather suggest deprecate or even nominate for deletion for PRP if you still cite so. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 23:32, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
Hmm, well, yes, I haven't considered that the Mickey may be a COM:DW from a PD, not as clear as the intro. I guess it does meet COM:TOO as well. Might need some research. --Saimmx (talk) 13:25, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
 Keep per Ajpolino. The Mickey Mouse design that someone nominated for deletion is actually the 1929 design that seen in The Opry House and The Karnival Kid, in which are the first shorts to feature Mickey's gloves and have a button in his pants, and both of the shorts already PD in the US since January this year (remember, those works are PD because it was released before January 1, 1930, hence 95 years prior to publication). Instead of nominating file for deletion, i suggest adding a warning for German-language Wikimedia projects (as well as other language-specific projects that retain its copyright for 1928 Mickey design) that emphasize this file cannot be used for their projects (in Germany, which does not apply "rule of shorter term" for US works, this design still under copyright protection because Ub Iwerks died in 1972, so i might be only PD in the country in 2042). Yayan550 (talk) 23:00, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
 Keep Per above, especially Ajpolino despite still yet to input, this case is just a kindly DW of a PD work, no suggestions on other deleted cases above. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 23:33, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
 Speedy keep Although this logo similar to this may above threshold of originality in the US, given that copyright of Mickey Mouse original design already expired here (for this year, 1929 Mickey shorts was in PD because it was published before 1 January 1930), that's okay for this logo to be placed in PD, and Mickey's design depicted at WDAS logo is a derivative work of the original Mickey design whose its copyright is already expired. But remember, this design is still copyrighted in some countries which use life of author+70 years and does not apply "rule of shorter term" for US works. So, i propose to include a warning similar to "Urheberrechtlich geschützt" similar to File:Mickey Mouse.svg that this logo with original Mickey Mouse design cannot be used for Wikipedia language projects that still maintain copyright for the original Mickey design such as German-language projects. 2404:8000:1037:587:456F:150F:468D:9493 03:48, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
 Delete just because it's a derivative work of a PD character doesn't make that version automatically PD, unless that specific drawing of Mickey appeared on Steamboat Willie/whatever other PD Mickey Mouse cartoon? SergioFLS (talk) 20:21, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
  •  Keep per most comments, unless someone can reasonably proof that this work was made outside the United States and its work had copyright term of life+70 years. In case of a work created in 1928, if the author or co-author died in 1972 and does not have "rule of shorter term" for foreign works, this work (in this case Steamboat Willie's design of Mickey) is still under copyright in some countries with life+70 years until 2041 at least. However, given that it was made in the US, rules of other countries does not apply here. 182.1.236.1 09:36, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

No indication of "express permission" by Government House; I presume they changed the copyright status on this image since it was uploaded. The link to the image is here, which says "Crown Copyright, Permission for re-use required" and the same copyright policy says:

  • Copyright on these official portrait photographs is held by Government House, Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. You must not reuse any official portrait photographic images without express permission from Government House.

Like I said, I'm guessing they updated the copyright on this from the 4.0 International to a more limited license. However long this file has been here, it is our duty to follow copyright law. Rexophile (talk) 22:25, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

@Rexophile Have you got a reply from them? Tvpuppy (talk) 19:28, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
 Info, at the time of upload in 2023, the copyright policy states, "Unless indicated otherwise for specific items or collections of content...this copyright material is licensed for re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence.". For the collection of official portraits, at that time there is no indication (as mentioned above) that the portratis are exceptions to the CC-BY-4.0 license. The copyright policy was only updated recently (January 2025) to remove the blanket CC-BY-4.0 statement.
  • Clearly, this was an oversight by the website, so I guess the argument for deletion is whether the CC-BY-4.0 license was actually valid in the first place, since the EXIF data seems to suggest the copyright holder is someone else other than the Government House.

This looks to be a COM:DW in which the uploader seems unlikely to be the original copyright holder of the program's/pamphlet's imagery even if they might've created a vector version of it. This seems way too complex to be PD in both the US and the Netherlands, and there's nothing provided (source or otherwise) to indicate who the copyright holder is or whether it's been previously released under an acceptable free license. I don't think Commons can keep this per COM:PCP without some way of verifying copyright holder COM:CONSENT or that the image has been released in accordance with COM:L. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:16, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

There was one obvious Google Maps copyvio and one AI image of a bird among the other uploads of this user. I don't trust them that these other files are legit, some look like they were perhaps taken of Google StreetView, others like they are AI creations as well. They should be deleted per the precautionary principle unless shown to be actual legitimate own works by the uploader.

From the author - I agree I uploaded 2 incorrect files by mistake. I am a volunteer working to help our local town get tourist attractions published onto the wiki sites and I am new to all these sites and still learning. I apologize for the problem this has caused. It is a LOT to learn. The only photos on this list that were not taken by me were the google map and the photo I edited using AI; and I will replace the san Ramon banner (you can delete it) as I have read the procedures for saying you have permission for using a photo several times, but I'm really still not sure I'm doing it right. So I'm just going to take my own photos. The other photos were all personally taken by me outside the town of Berlin de San Ramon or in the San Ramon region and you will not find them anywhere else on the internet. Nor did I edit them using AI or any other tools. The only changes I made to the photos were sizing changes to allow for use as a banner on different wiki sites. I really am sorry for the mistakes.

Since this file is described as being a photo taken from a 1971 issue of en:Ebony (magazine) taken by an unknown author, I can't think of any way this photo could be released under a CC license as claimed by the uploader. It's possible, this could be {{PD-US-no notice}} depending on the publication status of the issue of Ebony is appeared in or maybe PD for some other reason per COM:Germany, but I don't think it can be kept as licensed. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:58, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

@JWilz12345 Hello, thanks for the notification. I have uploaded the template to the mentioned files, written permission from the owner will arrive soon. - Nikolina Šepić (talk) 04:45, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
@Nikolina Šepić the VRTS correspondence should be clear that the rightsholders of the artworks and robots of copyrighted characters agree to have these images of their works hosted here under the free CC licensing you chose. If those rightsholders only agree for "educational" or "Wikipedia use only", it is not sufficient as it denies commercial reuses of the images without their permissions.
The copyright holder/s can also send email to VRT team via the email address indicated at COM:VRTS. Furthermore, if the copyright hasn't transferred to the museum owner, then any permission from the owner is invalid (the owner must prove that the artists transferred their copyrights to them). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 05:34, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
@JWilz12345 I have received written permission from the museum owner and his legal representative to post the files to the Wikimedia Commons under the CC license.

  •  Keep the graphic work isn't taken out of context, it's just part of the façade. Rkieferbaum (talk) 10:47, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
  •  Keep According to COM:DM UK, Copyright in a work is not infringed by its incidental inclusion in an artistic work, sound recording, film, or broadcast. It is clear from the shot title, composition, and (especially) the positioning of the lighting pole, that this is an image of the airport terminal building that incidentally includes an advertising poster. If the photographer was intending to photograph the poster, it would have been trival to compose and crop the shot to exclude the building and lighting pole; the fact they have not done so shows that was not the intent. -- Chris j wood (talk) 11:06, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi @SuperWIKI: , to be honest I tend to semi-automatically request for deletion all files that are not of real-world parliament, given that fantasy diagrams are very often created by throw-away accounts for nationstates.net or similar projects. I did not specifically study your image.
Do you plan on using this image for a specific purpose ? Because there are many free image hosting tools on the internet (Flickr, Instagram, Pinterest, Imgur...)Tpe.g5.stan (talk) 14:28, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
I have a full sandbox page in place that I've been working on for some time. I've been using research from The Almanac of American Politics and historical blogs to learn about U.S. senators and their achievements, and assigning the most influential ones from each state into one body. While there are image hosting tools on the Internet, the set-up on my Wikipedia sandbox (which to my understanding is meant for experimentation) is heavily reliant on political party templates and diagrams built into the site.
As for the specific image, it is meant to display political party and faction distribution for my sandbox. I have no plans to use it on any other site. SuperWIKI (talk) 14:52, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

Julius Rosenberg was the owner and photographer of the E. Bieber studio in Berlin starting in 1910, per de:Leonard Berlin-Bieber. I have tried to find birth and death dates for him but had no success so far. The name is not that rare, and most Internet search results are about the Soviet spy of the same name who was executed in the US in the 1950s. --Rosenzweig τ 07:47, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
It has been made before 1893 in E. Bieber, Berlin. The original File:HL Damals – Lübecker Senatorenalbum – Emil Ferdinand Fehling.jpg was around, as you may easy see, 1893. FYI: de:Emilie Bieber. 1970gemini (talk) 08:45, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
@1970gemini: File:HL Damals – Lübecker Senatorenalbum – Emil Ferdinand Fehling.jpg says "before 1897" (not 1893), and I don't see a source for that date. The source for the photograph is named as "Lübecker Senatorenalbum". Is that a publication, or what is it? --Rosenzweig τ 16:32, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
The Senatorenalbum is the book where all Senators of the Freien und Hansestadt Lübeck are honored untill the end of the Eigenstaatlichkeit of Lübeck. It exists since 1848 and became part of Schleswig-Holstein in 1937. Every new Senator, take a look at de:Liste der Lübecker Senatoren, got a place as they've been voted. e. g. File:HL Damals – Lübecker Senatorenalbum – Wilhelm Brehmer.jpg.

As Rosenzweig says, the Sieveking photo is already in the Undelete in 2033 because I had put it there as soon as it was established that Bieber was the photographer. I do care about restoring what is deleted (I also try to restore usage of files after I undelete them), even if it doesn't appear as such. As I mentioned to Yann on my talk page in discussing the photo, I am willing to upload a local copy to enwiki since enwiki only cares about US copyright. Abzeronow (talk) 22:16, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
You call it a "book", but say nothing about publication. So it is not a publication, but some kind of photo album? Or hand-written book because photographs were not yet common in 1848? And where do the years 1893, 1896, "before 1897" etc. come from? You make a lot of claims, but it's not really clear what they are based on. --Rosenzweig τ 17:53, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
Hast Du Dir mal die Mühe gemacht, die Liste der Lübecker Senatoren aufzurufen? Wenn ja, hast Du Emil Fehling gesucht und gelesen? Das Album befindet sich heute in dem Stadtarchiv, damals im Rathaus. Wenn Du Dir das Bild von Brehmer anschaust, wirst Du bemerken, dass es, z. B. am Übergang vom Kopf zum Hals, arge gebrauchsspuren aufweist... 1970gemini (talk) 18:09, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
Wie wäre es denn, wenn du, statt hier Rätselraten und Schnitzeljagd zu veranstalten, von vornherein klar Daten benennst, anstatt hier süffisante Kommentare der Sorte "Hast Du Dir mal die Mühe gemacht" abzulassen? Ich sehe in besagter Liste, dass der besagte Fehling 1896 Mitglied des Lübecker Senats wurde. Heißt das zwingend, dass das 1913 veröffentlichte Foto schon 1896 gemacht wurde? Wenn ja, warum? Ist es in besagtem Album enthalten und dort datiert oder sonstwie eindeutig datierbar? Du schreibst trotz wiederholter Nachfrage nach wie vor nicht, was dieses Album eigentlich ist, nur wo es sich befindet bzw. befand. Lass dir doch nicht alles einzeln aus der Nase ziehen! Solche Informationen beizubringen, ist Sache desjenigen, der hier Dateien hochlädt. Und wenn die Informationen zur Datei mangel- oder lückenhaft sind, kann schon mal ein Löschantrag gestellt und ggf. die Datei auch gelöscht werden. Also bitte klare Fakten zu Herkunft, Datierung usw. des Fotos/der Datei und keine Schnitzeljagden und Rätselspiele mehr. Danke. --Rosenzweig τ 18:29, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
Ohne persönlich zu sein, gebe ich mal folgendes zu bedenken. Als ich das im Vorjahr verwerkte waren alle zufrieden, Senatorenalbum. Alles war hinreichend.
Ist es kein Stadtbuch? (vom Rang eines Goldenen Buches einer Stadt; die lübeckischen Zeitungen verwendeten, wenn es keine neueren gab, deren Fotos) Wenn Du Dir die anderen erwähnten Bilder gedoppelklickt hast, wird Dir aufgefallen sein, dass diese spätestens im Jahr der Senatorenerwählung entstanden sind. Die dortigen Bilder von Bromme und Friedrich sind erbärmliche Passfotos. Nach Anfertigung der neuen Seite war es zwingend. Was wiederum bedeutet, dass das betreffende Bild, und somit auch der 1913 veröffentlichte Teilausschnitt, vor 1897 entstand. Warum! Die Leute könnten sterben. Bei de:Johann Paul Leberecht Strack sehen wir das Albumsfoto, in der Senatorenliste Das Bild seines Nachrufs.
Falls es Dir daran liegen sollte rumzustänkern, verweise ich gerne auf das Bild des Fehlings in einer Senatorentracht des Jahres 1813, welche sich die Senatoren zur 100sten Wiederkehr des Ereignisses anfertigen ließen. Ein Unterschied wie Tag und Nacht.
"kann schon mal ein Löschantrag gestellt und ggf. die Datei auch gelöscht werden" - Wirklich??? Für mich sieht es vielmehr danach aus, als wenn da jemand lange Weile hat und ne Menge heißer Luft ablässt. Die Bilder sind über 100 Jahre alt und wenn es fraglich gewesen wäre, hätte ich beim Urheber Unknown author geschrieben, und wir wären jetzt nicht hier. 1970gemini (talk) 19:29, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
"Als Nachfolger bestimmte sie ihren Neffen Leonard Berlin (1841-1931). L. Berlin gründete und betrieb ein zweites Atelier von 1890–1910 in Berlin. Im Jahr 1902 übernahm dessen Sohn Emil das photographische Atelier in Hamburg." 1970gemini (talk) 19:34, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
 Comment The uploader apparently thinks that the photo, though published in 1913, was actually taken in 1896, based on the fact that it is apparently part of an (unpublished) album collecting the photos of Lübeck's senators, arguing that those photos were usually made when or shortly after these persons became senators. In this case, in 1896. He also argues that there is apparently another photo of the man from 1913 or later (photographed wearing some special garb created for a centennial celebration in 1913) which he says is very different. So the 1896 date is based on comparisons and the assumption that the photo was made shortly after becoming a senator.
If that is correct and the photo was made in 1896 by E. Bieber in Berlin, the photographer would presumably be Leonard Berlin-Bieber, who died in 1931. I don't see any real evidence though. There may be some, but I don't see it in the uploader's contributions. It's hard enough to get any facts from these rambling answers anyway. --Rosenzweig τ 06:50, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

I guess the governing standard is COM:TOO Cameroon? Since that's a red link, that means no-one on Commons who might know anything about that country's TOO has divulged any information, but there's a risk that their TOO is that of their former colonial power, France, which would mean this is above their TOO. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:52, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Photographs by Jeff Walters

For photographs by Jeff Walters for the California State Legislature, more specifically those that have "Copyright holder" in the metadata as "Jeff Walters". Walters is a freelance photographer who has worked with the California State Legislature as an official photographer, but {{PD-CAGov}} specifically says "Works that are considered "public records" but were not created by a state or municipal government agency may be copyrighted by their author". Somewhat similar of a situation to Marc Thomas Kallweit, another freelance photographer who did work for the State Legislature (see Commons:Deletion requests/File:Curt hagman.jpg, Commons:Deletion requests/File:Scottwilk portrait2013.jpg, Commons:Deletion requests/File:Travis Allen California Assemblyman.jpg).

These ones below are by Walters, but don't have "Copyright holder" data. Not sure if they should also be considered as Walter's freelance work or a work of the State Legislature.
