Copyright status: File:Perpendicular bisector proof la.svg
Hi, File:Perpendicular bisector la.svg and File:Perpendicular bisector proof la.svg are my first works so I apologize for my error and I beg you to explain how to resolve. Dimitris131 made these images: File:Perpendicular bisector el.svg and File:Perpendicular bisector proof el.svg respectively. Their license is {{PD-self}} , so I pick them and change the greek letters with roman ones because I need them for italian wikipedia. As you can see, I put a link to the original works in "source", but I don't know if it is the right place. Further, I used PD-chart instead of PD-self, because they aren't technically made by me, but author allows changes.
Thank you for the advice. Best regards, Emmanuhel (talk) 16:50, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
File deleted
Hello Yann, hope you are well. I just noticed you that a file I uploaded was deleted for copyright violation. First, I want to sincerely apologize—it was not my intention to upload content that violated any rules. I was under the impression that it could be uploaded under Fair Use, as it was related to the subject of Jean de Meuron's IMDb page. I do not have contact with the subject, but establish copyright license and would like to know if there is any way I could re-upload the image without violating copyright terms? I would really appreciate your guidance on how to do this properly. Repsjared (talk) 10:24, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello Yann, even though I am an unimportant person here on the Commons, I notice all the work you do that keep this place functioning. You do things that other admins don't bother with. With much appreciation, Krok6kola (talk) 12:55, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
Commons:Deletion requests/File:Elşad İman uşağı ilə.jpg
You have no business closing this deletion request. You voted on the deletion request and also closed the undeletion request of the same file (speedily closing the request without any chance for discussion). If you do not immediately reverse your closure and allow another administrator to close the discussion, I will bring up this repeated misconduct to COM:AN/U. IronGargoyle (talk) 15:59, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- @IronGargoyle: Hi, Why does the deletion of this file seem so important to you (and to others)? This is a good portrait used in two articles, so it is in scope. There is a license verified by a VRT permission. I don't understand your insistence, nor your aggressiveness. First closure by Krd was Kept, and the repeated nomination by Yousiphh without any new argument seems abusive to me. Yann (talk) 16:13, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- They removed the picture from both articles, without explaining why or on what basis. It is clear that the picture adds a special beauty to the article, but who cares about it? Elshad Imanverified
12:53, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- Restored. IronGargoyle's behavior is really disappointing. Yann (talk) 16:12, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- The picture is a terrible vanity picture and it seems you only added the picture to the articles to justify your out-of-process keep. You know you shouldn't close discussions you were involved in, and especially when the discussion is a referendum on your earlier undeletion close. I clearly have a dispute with you here, but if I weren't involved in this discussion and I was uninvolved and saw this sort of behavior from a different admin. I would warn and then block if they persisted in this type of action. Repeatedly closing the same discussion topic in your preferred direction is tantamount to wheel warring in my opinion. IronGargoyle (talk) 22:35, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- You are wrong on all counts. This is a good picture, whatever was the initial intention of the uploader. It is much better than the ones currently used on the articles in English and in French. Then you have no business removing it from the French article, as you are not an editor there, except your personal antagonism. The DR was opened for 12 days, and there is no reason for deleting it. Yann (talk) 06:25, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Yann, The image has copyright and the author is Araz Yaquboglu, a well-known Wikipedia editor from Azerbaijan, and he (Araz Yaquboglu) is not blocked on any project.

07:06, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Yann, I was just wondering if it would be possible to discuss whether this image should be added to the article? since in this case the conflict is ongoing and the image was removed from the article again by the same user. Maybe the wiki community should make a decision so that the person who removed the photo stops doing what they are doing. Is it possible to discuss this issue in the wiki community and make a final decision? Elshad Imanverified

The last Jew in Vinnitsa, 1941.jpg image
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_last_Jew_in_Vinnitsa,_1941.jpg Hi, this is just a trivial matter, but I noticed the smaller/older version of this image actually has higher detail than the larger one! As such I think that version should be used instead by default. The increased resolution is a complete waste since the image was merely upscaled. It's also more blurry and has worse compression artifacts, so overall the small version is quite a bit better. Pseudoantiquasi (talk) 16:11, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
- OK, reverted. Thanks for noticing. Yann (talk) 17:00, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
- I'm almost ashamed to be nitpicking like that, as the difference between the images is small. In the meantime I did have a look around, to see if there was an even better version somewhere, and I can affirm: there isn't one. This version is the best, and the best ones elsewhere are the same, besides the sepia one of course, which is roughly eqivalent in detail and rightly its own file (here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:German_soldiers_of_the_Waffen-SS_and_the_Reich_Labor_Service_look_on_as_a_member_of_an_Einsatzgruppe_prepares_to_shoot_a_Ukrainian_Jew_kneeling_on_the_edge_of_a_mass_grave_filled_with_corpses.jpg

Undeletion request
Hello @Yann, I do not know if there is a formal way to appeal the undeletion requests, so I hope I do not come as rude here. I do not agree with your decision not to undelete File:ALBERTO NÚÑEZ FEIJÓO.jpg as it goes against the precedent with Flickr images coming from official party accounts. Why is a VRT needed for this precise one when the common practice is to assume that the photographers have granted permission to release the image? If we were to be consistent, thousand of this kind of pictures should be deleted from commons. For instance, you have the official PP accounts of Madrid, Cantabria, Melilla and the EPP. I expect that if the file was reuploaded to commons, an eventual DR would result in the file being kept based on previous precedent. Basque mapping (talk) 19:36, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Basque mapping: Hi, In the other cases, all images on Flickr are under a free license. In the case of File:ALBERTO NÚÑEZ FEIJÓO.jpg, all other images are "All rights reserved". So I wonder why only this picture was released under CC-0. Yann (talk) 19:40, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks @Yann, I appreciate your rapid response. Now I will try to make a timeline of events around this image:
- 1) 9 May. Photographer Diego Puerta unveils a formal portrait of Feijóo he made two months before . A self-described photojournalist, it seems however that in the last months he has been working for the PP, as all of the photos he has published in Twitter suggest . It may be argued that the latter is not a proof of Puerta working for the PP, but upon a quick research in Google, there are dozens of newspaper crediting his photos in the format "Diego Puerta/PP", suggesting he works for the party .
- 2) 13 May. The PP official Flickr account uploads the image, apparently under an "all rights reserved" license
- 3) 14 May. User Vaqueroj uploads the image to Commons saying it comes from https://www.pp.es/alberto-nunez-feijoo-3 (recently the website was renewed so I was not able corroborate that claim). This user has been quite inactive, emerging from year to year. His edits record makes me believe they is somehow linked to the PP, which would explain why they inexplicably re-emerged to just upload this image and add it to the Spanish Wikipedia article.
- 4) 14 May. @LMLM marks the file as having no permission .
- 5) 19 May. The Flickr account of the PP changes the license of the image to CC0 . Perhaps, someone warned the PP that they had to give permission for the use of the file and so they decided to change the license. I do not really know exactly what happened here, but the sequence of events suggests they deliberately licensed this image as CC0 in order to use it on Wikipedia.
- 6) 22 May. After seemingly no one contested the no permission claim, the file was deleted. Apparently no one realised the existance of the Flickr permission. Basque mapping (talk) 21:53, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Basque mapping: I think that Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Deva1995 is a similar case. I am waiting for the outcome to decide what to do. Yann (talk) 18:26, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

COM:SPEEDY is not an explanation of why you removed a category. This was a heavily used category before Rathfelder appears to have unilaterally emptied it. This is not how longstanding categories are supposed to be changed. - Jmabel ! talk 16:59, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Jmabel: The category was empty. OK it should not have been emptied, but I can't check the history of all empty categories. Yann (talk) 18:25, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
- So where do we go from here? (and you are right that the history of the use of a category is often very hard to determine.) - Jmabel ! talk 18:44, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

- Good. I'll do that. Just wanted to make sure that you hadn't been effectively endorsing them, and that nothing bigger was going on that I was missing.
- By the way, COM:SPEEDY is really not a great deletion rationale. Your really ought to indicate which speedy deletion criterion. There is a big difference between C1 (where the category almost certainly should not be recreated and C2 (usually a plausible category, deleted simply because of lack of content). - Jmabel ! talk 19:44, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

File:Euphrasie Kouassi Yao.jpg
Bonjour Yann,
Au sujet de Commons:Undeletion requests/Current requests#Demande de restitution de ce fichier : File:Euphrasie Kouassi Yao.jpg, comment faut-il comprendre la situation en ce qui concerne cette photo (et d'autres dont le cas est semblable) ? Ça ne semble pas clair et ça laisse perplexe. Voici quelques éléments de réflexion.
- Selon les données EXIF, l'auteur est "Bosson". On ne sait pas qui est ce Bosson (on y reviendra plus loin) ni si ce photographe a donné son accord pour que sa photo soit offerte au domaine public par une déclaration CC0.
- La photo est du 8 mai 2018.
- L'appareil est un Canon EOS 7D.
- Le téléverseur du fichier (User:Mister Kolson) prétend être l'auteur de la photo et le propriétaire des droits d'auteur, ce qui semble douteux (pour les raisons ci-dessous), mais cette affirmation est possiblement une simple erreur de débutant, puisqu'il s'agit du premier téléversement de cet utilisateur, apparemment fait lors d'une séance de formation à l'utilisation de Wikimedia le 5 octobre 2024.
- L'autre utilisateur qui a demandé la restautration du fichier à Commons:Undeletion requests (Aristide Kouamé, User:Aristidek5maya), dit que c'est lui qui a fourni la photo à Mister Kolson pour que ce dernier la téléverse sur Commons lors de la session de formation. Cela semble signifier qu'en effet le téléverseur Mister Kolson ne serait pas l'auteur de la photo. Alors, l'auteur serait-il Aristide Kouamé ? Dans son commentaire, Aristide Kouamé ne dit pas qu'il est l'auteur.
- Le nom de famille Bosson semble porté par plusieurs personnes en Côté d'Ivoire.
- Le nom Bosson ne semble apparemment pas utilisé par Mister Kolson ni par Aristide Kouamé.
- Aristide Kouamé a téléversé sur Commons des photos prises avec divers appareils, mais apparemment pas avec un Canon EOS 7D, notamment pour ses photos de février à mai 2018.
- La photo semble prise lors de la même entrevue que celle publiée dans le media FratMat le 14 novembre 2018 .
- Plusieurs photos de personnalités actuellement incluses dans la catégorie Category:Ateliers Wikimedia Training Tour à l'Université Félix Houphouët Boigny d'Abidjan semblent avoir été téléversées par des participants de cette session de formation d'octobre 2024 comme exercices de téléversements. Elles semblent presque toutes téléversées en tant que "own work" par leurs téléverseurs respectifs et CC0. La plupart n'ont pas d'auteur dans les données EXIF. Parfois les données EXIF indiquent des auteurs qui ne semblent pas reliés aux téléverseurs, par exemple File:Sidiki Diakité (1).jpg, auteur EXIF "sylla", téléverseur User:Samenan.
- On trouve aussi notamment File:Aimée Zébéyoux (1).jpg, téléversé par User:Ariele225 en tant que own work et CC0, ce qui semble aussi douteux, étant donné que les données EXIF indiquent que l'auteur est Bosson et, ce qui est intéressant, que les droits d'auteur appartiennent au media Frat Mat. Ce qui pourrait être le cas aussi de la photo File:Euphrasie Kouassi Yao.jpg.
Malgré tout, il est possible que ces photos soient légitimes pour quelque raison, par exemple si malgré toutes les données EXIF divergentes Aristide Kouamé en est le photographe ou s'il dispose des droits d'auteur de FratMat.
Mais, pour revenir à ce que je disais au début, ça ne semble pas clair. Je me demande s'il serait souhaitable de laisser ouverte la discussion sur Commons:Undeletion requests jusqu'à ce que les utilisateurs concernés aient fourni des clarifications sur qui est l'auteur Bosson et qui fait la déclaration CC0. -- Asclepias (talk) 19:33, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

We produced a Play-Drama by contributing funds. I was one of the co-Producers. We employed a photographer to click photos of actors for publicity.
Though photos were clicked by photographer, we own the photos. Or created means only the person who has clicked it can only upload it? Uday0611 (talk) 04:11, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) @Uday0611: was the copyright legally transferred? (e.g. either a work contract that was explicit about you owning copyright, or some later document clarifying that?) - Jmabel ! talk 04:37, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
- It was a minor work amounting to less that INR 10000 i.e. Indian currency. No contract was drawn. Only oral understanding which is the norm.
- Just want to make it very clear I am not requesting to restore the photos or will not upload myself also.
- I only wanted to explain how and why photos were uploaded. Uday0611 (talk) 05:06, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

Scans of UK passport covers
Hi Yann, does this UK Gov document, particularly the two highlighted paragraphs, prove that passport covers are protected from copying? Cheers -- DeFacto (talk). 19:03, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
- @DeFacto: Hi, Yes, I read that, but we are talking about the design of the cover only. It is the coats of the United Kingdom, which is in the public domain. Only reusing this on new passports is not sufficient to create a new copyright. Regards, Yann (talk) 19:07, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
- The UK passport office document (link above) says this (my bold):
The Controller of His Majesty’s Stationery Office (HMSO), who manages Crown copyright, must give permission before a British passport and the Royal crest image on the front of a passport can be reproduced.
Are they mistaken about that do you think? Cheers -- DeFacto (talk). 19:21, 2 June 2025 (UTC)- @DeFacto: Hi, I am not sure. May be we need a new discussion about that on COM:VPC#Scans of UK passport covers. I copied your link there. Yann (talk) 20:28, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
