Revision as of 20:46, 12 April 2013

I'm not sure what I'm missing or specifically need to do with the images that I uploaded for Joe Esposito (artist). I am creating the article with the artist's consent and help. Specifically, I assume I need to (what?) have Joe Esposito send an email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org stating these files are owned by him?

Hi! I provided a link to Penny's facebook profile. If you have any questions about the photo, you can ask her. It has been released into the public domain as indicated. She was sitting beside me when we set the license up. Crackerjack (talk) 23:17, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

File:Photo of Warren Coats.jpg

I am extremely frustrated that this can of worms has been re-opened. All the subject, owner, and me, the article author, have wanted was to make this picture open access. The numerous amount of hours I had spent trying to comply with your byzantine requirements just to achieve this has been astounding and counterproductive. But, we thought we had resolved this months ago, when, working with multiple Misplaced Pages editors, we made sure that both Warren Coats at the person who snapped the picture, Ito Briones, sent multiple emails giving permission for the photo to be freely accessible. Now you have another problem. Whatever the problem is now, you have the all the information you need proving that the creator of the file has given permission. If there is something incorrect in the tagging, please make the necessary change rather than asking me to re-do instructions that I have tried to follow no less than 10--now 11 times, only to have some editor make some unclear objection and refer me to instructions I thought I already complied with, and then delete the photo. I also submitted a letter of complaint because of this Misplaced Pages practice and would be happy to share it with you. My main problem, besides the indecipherability of the instructions, for editors so eager to delete files and make referral to the same indecipherable instructions, is that in the time you took to make this determination, could have been spent helping resolve the problem that you now have. If there is something specific I need to do, that hasn't been done already, then please tell me precisely what specific action you want me to take and do not refer me to your general instructions, since I'm obviously not capable of following them. Sorry to be terse, but we were all amazed and outraged before and now it's begun all over again. Odellhuff (talk) 00:41, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

File:YuezhiHeliocles.jpg

I see that you tagged this as possibly being free. The problem is that there is no evidence of permission from the photographer. Photos of coins need permission from the photographer as explained at Commons:COM:ART#Photograph of an old coin found on the Internet. Since someone can take a free photo of the coin, this image fails WP:NFCC#1, and it additionally fails WP:NFCC#10a. --Stefan2 (talk) 15:23, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Queen Tiye - cropped - probably with her husband Amenhotep III - 34 louvre - egyptarchive.JPG

Dear Sfan00: You wrote to me

Thanks for uploading File:Queen Tiye - cropped - probably with her husband Amenhotep III - 34 louvre - egyptarchive.JPG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion. If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Misplaced Pages's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:38, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Even though he states on his web site that none is required, I have the written permission of the creator for the use of his copyright-free low resolution images.

Erroneous Speedy Deletion Nominations Under CSD F2

Please do not report images as corrupt or empty when they are clearly not. Thank you. --☥NEO (talk) 23:20, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Looking at the page you reverted on, the image does meet F2 and is not an erroneous report. The image is not local, it's a Commons image which has a local (blank) page. The only time we have blank local pages are for instances where they are featured and have been tagged as such, for example. Since there is nothing to keep here on the local level, there's no reason for that page to exist still. Regards, — Moe Epsilon 23:58, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

My sincerest apologies to both of you. --☥NEO (talk) 00:13, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Revenue.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Revenue.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Wstext

A tag has been placed on Template:Wstext requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it must be substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).

If you think that your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page's talk page, where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:14, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Request for information

Thank you for responding to my uncertainty about the eligibility of four files for migration to Commons. For my guidance, I would appreciate an indication here of the reasons for the ineligibility of the files: 1, 2,3, and 4 Esoglou (talk) 19:09, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

I want images I uploaded removed from Misplaced Pages.

The reason I removed the fair use rationale on the File:Bfs lp corr.JPG and File:Inthebeginningbeatles.jpg is because I have severed my ties with The Beatles Misplaced Pages group as a result of losing a major long standing editing dispute. Please take steps in getting these images WHICH I UPLOADED removed from Misplaced Pages. Steelbeard1 (talk) 13:19, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

That's not an excuse for edit-warring. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:20, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

But I STILL want the images removed. How can this be done? Steelbeard1 (talk) 13:22, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

It can't. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:23, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

IT HAS BEEN DONE!!!! One way is for someone else to remove the images from articles to make the images orphaned. Look up the image pages to see which articles have the images then remove them. As I already stated I CANNOT do this myself as I publicly declared that I am no longer editing Beatle related articles, but you can. Steelbeard1 (talk) 13:26, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

So you are asking me to remove 'useful' images from an article because you couldn't get on with other contributors?. I don't think so. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:28, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

I have done this successfully with my image of the contents of The Beatles Collection box set by removing the fair use rationale. Steelbeard1 (talk) 13:29, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

BTW, do you prefer "The Beatles" or "the Beatles"? That was the core of the long standing editing dispute. "The Beatles" is a registered trade mark of Apple Corps Ltd. Steelbeard1 (talk) 13:31, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Little Mix files

I can't understand why do you inform me about files that I did not upload. Eurofan2005 (talk) 13:42, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

File:Mentmorehannahinhall.jpg

Thank you for adding structure to the File:Mentmorehannahinhall.jpg page on Misplaced Pages. However you ought really to look at the templates you are using as they don't seem at all appropriate to the image. You added the template {{bsr}} which makes the assertion "... it either links directly to the image or is a generic base URL, or is not an Internet source for an image that was likely found on the Internet." Leaving aside the use of 'either' to precede three options, it's pretty clear that the source information for the image of the watercolour painted circa 1863 is not a direct link to the image; it is not a generic base URL; and it is not likely found on the internet, as Giano is quite well-known for taking his own photos or scans. So why is that template there?

In addition, you templated Giano, the uploader of the image, with the following: "If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright." Why would he need to do this? He says the watercolour, a two-dimensional work of art, was painted circa 1863 and is now in the public domain, so the image is perforce in the public domain also. Is that not sufficient clarification of the copyright status? --RexxS (talk) 22:12, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

If it's his own scan it should say so. Tag removed. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:13, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Tagging File:Frederick md seal.png

You tagged this file for deletion because it lacks author information, but the image is, by definition, in the public domain. It wasn't PD released, it simply is, and therefore the authorship is immaterial to confirming its copyright status. Please remove the tag as invalid. VanIsaac_{WS Vex} 14:25, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

CSD tags

Why don't you do whatever needs to be done to fix the upload form for non-free works before you go tagging them like a madman. Ryan Vesey 00:13, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

I would, if I had the information to hand, but as I didn't upload the image I don't know you reasoning. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 00:15, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

The upload form for non-free works doesn't include anything for NFCC 1 or 2. I'm not about to be bothered to go around to the images filling it in. If you legitimately feel that the image doesn't meet the guidelines, go ahead and bring it up at the relevant noticeboard, but your time would be better spent finding whoever you have to find to fix the upload form so it has a field for criteria 1 and 2. Ryan Vesey 00:18, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

So you are criticising the tools, for not providing the ability to add these? Surely you check the rationale you've provided for the images you've uploaded? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 00:19, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Furthermore, specific options (i.e. a historical portrait) do have fields for NFCC 2. Note that File:Cambria logo.png isn't blank for NFCC 1 and 2, it says NA. There is no reason to expect the uploaders to provide a rationale for something that needs none. Ryan Vesey 00:22, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

You mean I should list the specific files I borrowed from in creating that sketch? As I recall, I took the 1 from the 14, and then concocted the 0 from the second digit of either the 28 or the 29. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 10:48, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Your image queries

Thank you for your messages. I've added a source (Commons) and author (the Met) to the cropped version of The Death of Socrates, and corrected the link to the source of the Saba photos.

You've got more experience with images than me. It's not important that Umberto Saba has photos of the man, but it would be nice. It would tell the reader something about him that text alone could not. There aren't any images in the public domain, to my knowledge. I got those three from an Italian gallery website, which I've linked to in the images' history. The pictures are of him as a child, at his creative prime, and in his later years, receiving a very special award. Can you give me your opinion as to whether using them as I have is fair use please? --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 13:07, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar

Your contributions to the filespace are second to none. I constantly run across you cleaning up files that are on my watchlist/to-do list. I've noticed your especially amazing work in almost completely eliminating the backlog at Category:Misplaced Pages files lacking a description. It was 7000 images in 2011, I tried to get it down to 5000, and now its down to under 600 total, mostly thanks to you! Keep up the good work, even though it often goes unnoticed. :) -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 17:14, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

What's wrong with that ref?

re: . And you may want to explain this to the newbie editor who added it, too. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 15:55, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

When I tried to add it it tripped the spam filter. I have no objections to it's reinstatment. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:46, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Masu external link

The link you added to Masu (Japanese) gives an error. I haven't deleted it yet to give you a chance to fix as I can see it probably was supposed to be to something okay but I can't figure out exactly what. Dmcq (talk) 17:44, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
