This one has to take the cake for the most frivolous deletion. Two users mention that none of the screenshots meet the threshold of originality and thus should be kept. How does User:Srittau decide to close?

Deleted: Only one image had a proper license tag, all others were "licensed" under a clearly invalid CC license.

Translation: I can't be arsed to change around a few licenses (which could literally be copy-pasted from the page that was kept), so instead I'm just going to throw everything out. This kind of disregard for fixing problems is pretty rampant here and quite disappointing considering it's readers who get affected and reduces the utility of the project. Opencooper (talk) 04:03, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment This is one of the most frivolous undeletion requests I have seen in a long time. If the uploader (or anyone else) can't be arsed to fix their own license in the 1.5 months this DR was open, it is clearly not the admin's task to do so, especially given our backlog and number of deletion requests and speedy deletions on any given day. But of course it is easy to demand of other people to sacrifice their own free time. Sebari – aka Srittau (talk) 09:08, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak excuse. Would have taken you as much time as you typed in this reply to copy-paste the license templates from the non-deleted file. If you're really so pressed for time you could even post a request in the village pump for assistance. It also shouldn't be an admin's task to delete perfectly fine files just because there's a backlog. Opencooper (talk) 02:29, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The sad thing is, if you had just asked to restore these files and fix the template, I would probably have done it. But given your shitty attitude I am not inclined to do just the slightest bit of work for you. I wonder if any other admin will, just to be abused by you. Sebari – aka Srittau (talk) 08:51, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Support Don't think we should be requiring OTRS for uploads from spouses. U.S. law allows for a "duly authorized agent" (not well defined) being able to do almost anything copyright-wise (including file registrations I believe) for the actual copyright owner; a spouse would probably fall under that (unless the author complains of course).

@Ankry: When you undelete a file, you always add {{Undeleted}} template in the talk page (and eventually the {{Deleted}} template when the deletion is due to a DR)). It suffices for anyone to be able to check past deletion history. --Ruthven (msg) 16:35, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jeff G.: I consider it done when the OTRS agent added the OTRS template or nominates for redeletion. I would prefer OTRS requests to bo closed by the nominator, but this is to be discussed elsewhere. Ankry (talk) 17:50, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ankry: Fair enough, I hope @Arthur Crbz understands that.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 18:09, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure to understand why Jeff G. mentions me in this discussion. Undeletion requests have always been closed by the administrator handling the request. {{Undeleted}} is used to keep track of the request and if permission is insufficient, OTRS agent can ask for speedy deletion.

OTRS agents can close these requests but you need to know that sometimes we need several days before adding the permission template on the file (asking to the uploader to provide permission from another person OR clarifying information for instance). So requests could remain open for days... Unless we create a new page dedicated to OTRS agents ? --Arthur Crbz (talk) 08:33, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Guerreiro do Vale (talk) 13:31, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Guerreiro do Vale: The image is reasonable resolution (1040×584) but contains no camera info so it may be hard to prove that it is indeed your image and not made by somebody else. You can try to prove that contacting COM:OTRS; however, if you fail, the image may not be stored in Wikimedia Commons due to COM:PCP (reasonable doubt about authorship). Please note, that you may upload a photo as {{Own}} if you made the original photo yourself using your camera (and if you did, it is hard to explain why did you not upload the original photo, full-size with camera info in EXIF). If there is a reason not to publish the original photo, you can also provide it to OTRS, where it will be kept private. As we have many photos, that are claimed to be Own work why they are actually not, we must be extremely carefull axepting photos that atuthorship cannot be verified, even if the image cannot be find in the Internet using services like Google Images.  Weak oppose at the moment and suggest to contact OTRS or upload the original file.

Should be undeleted as it is from a police report ("Kantonspolizei Graubünden" = cantonal police, canton of Graubünden, Switzerland) where {{PD-Switzerland-official}} and {{PD-Switzerland-photo}} applies, the later due to the purely documentary nature of the picture (police photograph of the accident scene). --46.253.188.175 09:18, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The files were erroneously marked as copyright violations, when they actually aren't. (See the thread at User talk:Secondarywaltz#Re Chomsky photos for a detailed explanation). Σ (talk) 18:49, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Info unsure if the uploader's explanation is enough here to prove that the uploader and not UMass DML owns copyright to the photos. IMO, a more reliable information from an identifiable person via email to OTRS might be needed here to explain more precisely relations between the photographer/uploader and UMass DML. However, any other opinions are welcome. Ankry (talk) 12:55, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ankry: Did you read the thread? Because all the objections you note were answered therein. Are there any specific points that you find to be insufficiently explanatory? Σ (talk) 01:48, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Σ: Yes, I did. Let's assume, that you are right. And lets assume that in few years, when you are no longer an active user, we (or WMF) receive fake copyright claim from somebody claiming that they have boght copyright for this image from UMass DML, and they wish take-down and fee from reusers. How can we reject such a claim basing on declaration from an anonymous user only? That is the reason, that I think we need some independent or verifiable confirmation of your (an anonymous user's) words, eg. that Umass DML is a company that loans cameras only and do not claim copyright to any images or that you have some real agreement with them. Note, that I do not object undeletion here, I only raise some doubts for consideretion. Fake copyright claims are real. Ankry (talk) 04:59, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It sounds like you're asking Σ to out themselves.

Did you look at the UMass DML website? It's pretty obviously a university service, and not a company. This is a standard arangement at universities I'm familiar with and have attended - you borrow a camera, and have full rights to copyrights to any media producted. Legoktm (talk) 05:11, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

On what basis, the metadata? The DML website clearly explains their policy on lending equipment to university affiliates. The metadata of a photo is text that can be changed by anyone who has photo editing software. I could do it to any file on Commons. I could do it to yours. You could do it to mine. If a hypothetical copyright troll did somehow manage to buy the copyright to all pictures produced by the university, could they come up with a plausible claim of copyright consistent with the DML's loan policy? Maybe. But based on metadata? That would be pretty thin ice to walk on. Σ (talk) 06:32, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mistaken speedy deletion. Yesterday I requested deletion of File:A Dog.jpg as a degraded version of what when was available as File:The Dog.jpg. The former has JPEG artefacts one of which is now highlighted as an image note. The latter is compressed milder.

Requesting my photo uploads to Be undeleted — Preceding unsigned comment added by LaTonya Jean Lawrence (talk • contribs) 07:42, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose Your only deleted upload when you added this request was File:Self made - freelance model casting360.jpeg. The file was deleted because you did not specify where it comes from, who holds the copyright and if it was published under a free licence. This information is required to undelete the image.

Please note also that we do not allow selfies and other personal images of users who have not made any substantial contributions at Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Commons is not your personal webhost but only collects images that can be used for educational purposes. I have therefore also deleted your other uploads per Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by LaTonya Jean Lawrence. Please see Commons:Project scope for details about the purpose of Wikimedia Commons. De728631 (talk) 08:06, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have the rights to use the images.

 Oppose 80 yeats since creation is definitely too recent, unless you identify the photographer and prove that he/she died more than 70 years ago. Ankry (talk) 18:26, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose per Ankry. Works from the US that were first published (i.e. made available to the common public) after 2003 are copyrighted for the lifetime of the author plus 70 years, or for 95 years after the first publication if anomymous. However, if this was published in a yearbook or something similar in 1938, there is a chance that it would not be copyrighted. Do you know any details about this photo?

Hallo,

ich beantrage die Wiederherstellung des Bildes File:Detlef beim Videodreh zu Feeling Good Juni 2018.jpg, da ich dieses Bild selber aufgenommen habe. Ich bin eine sehr gute Freundin von Detlef Malinkewitz und bin bei allen Videodrehs dabei gewesen. Dieser Schnappschuss entstand im saarländischen Staatstheater während der Videoaufnamen. Ich kann gerne die Videos und Fotos, die ich bei den Videodrehs (auch für das zweite Video) gemacht habe, zusenden, wenn das hilft, zu beweisen, dass das meine Aufnahme ist.

•  Support Dieses Foto ist eindeutig nicht in dem YouTube Video enthalten. Die Kameraperspektive und die erhöhte Bühne unterscheiden sich deutlich von dem Video. / According to Ankici, this is not a still from the YouTube video but a photo snapshot taken by her during the filming. I believe this since I can't find this particular image in the video. Note also the different camera perspectives and the enhanced stage in the photo as opposed to the video.

@Pinguinossuicidas: A Wikipedia article about this book has been speedily deleted for being irrelevant to an encyclopedia, see es:Pingüinos Suicidas. Apparently Spanish Amazon do not sell this book. Can you clarify why the Wikimedia project should have an illustration of the book cover? What is the relation between yourself and the artist Maria Paz Matus de la Parra?

It has not been two weeks since I have put this image up on wikibooks, and I am gathering the copyright information. The legal team at the Allen Institute has clarified I may use their images, I just need to update the licensing to "Used with permission from the Allen Institute (c) 2018 Allen Institute https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Falleninstitute.org%2Flegal%2Fcitation-policy%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cbfcf8f6914754f1498d708d6020839bf%7C32669cd6737f4b398bddd6951120d3fc%7C0%7C0%7C636698631680901952&sdata=UsTmhpp2uzk%2BCawUFsqMfWMj2aEc7kCWoj%2FHl8nHuRY%3D&reserved=0".

 Oppose A permission for Wikibooks only is not sufficient. All uploads at Commons must be free for anyone to use for any purpose even outside Wikimedia projects. This includes commercial reuse. De728631 (talk) 13:40, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I obtained permission from image owner Pat Trueman, who is the campaign manager of the Stefanowski campaign for CT governor. It has been taken down twice, despite an email from Pat Trueman's official email to Wikimedia commons stating his release request. Please advise, instead of deleting repeatedly!

Thank you.

They would need to use the COM:OTRS process, and send an email directly to Wikimedia Commons. Also note that permission for just Wikipedia is not enough; it needs to be permission for anyone to reuse it elsewhere (even commercially). If they do not wish to grant so permissive a license (which would be understandable), the best bet would be to upload to en-wiki directly as fair use.
