Hi there!

I uploaded AcdcAngusYoung.jpg on Wikimedia Commons, but it is named AcdcAngusyoung.jpg, and my commons name is ACDCDude718. It is now okay to upload the image on German Wiki. (Note: I don't know much German.) Ac-dcfreak785 07:19 22 May 2006.

No, that one is as big as they have released, I think. Any larger and you risk running foul of the Fair Use police, as the resolution would be too high to justify using under US law. How German law handles this, I'm not sure. Sorry about that. Pyrope 14:03, 19 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Under German law, a high resolution version wouldn´t be a problem, because this logo is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain. But ok, if there isn´t any bigger version, I´ll take this one. Chaddy (talk) 22:36, 19 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Images edit

WTF are you doing in deleting images, I have posted copy right links.... FFS are you some f***g ignoramus or what...

All images have copy right issued on them.. all of them...

Croatian MOD agreed to use all its images on wiki... Are you taking a piss or being a real cunt or try to vandalize articles... You must be some Serb or something, that could explain the thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mic of orion (talkcontribs)

Watch your language please.
"To use all its images on wiki" is incompatible with the GFDL. We accept only images that are completely free. So it must be allowed to use the images for every purpose not only on wiki. If you don´t know what is allowed or not then let help you but don´t upload unfree images. Chaddy (talk) 22:13, 25 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Look images are free, Croatian MOD owned images are free, and are free to be used on wiki, do not tag images, if you have questions ask me, and I'll try to help otherwise I get angry bc I have to re-upload the same images... and you seem to have gone only for my images... Of course I am angry, perhaps I used wrong tagging, happens, I use standard licensing, you are free to ask me and correct me if I used wrong tagging...

License - Croatian MOD permission to use MOD's images on wiki. - read... [[1]] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mic of orion (talkcontribs)

I told you, it´s not enough when Croatian MOD only gives permission to use the images on wiki. They must be completely free so that they can be used everywhere.
You don´t have to reupload the same images. You even must not reupload them because they are not compatible with Wikipedia:Copyrights.
And by the way, your link doesn´t help me because I don´t understand this language. Chaddy (talk) 03:51, 26 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Well, than you ask, images are free, that is what the MOD says, they are free to be used on Wiki... and you should not remove images, also everyone has rights to edit wiki, everyone, and if you delete the images I'll just upload them again, and if you have issues with that, tough, MOD gave permission to use the images, if you have problem with that, not my problem, MOD issues license for the use of images, you don't like it, I can always talk to the owners of wiki and let them adjudicate, but if you going to make mess of wiki articles bc you are to ignorant and can't understand English or don't know about licensing it is not my problem, BTW you ought ot understand what rules apply to the images, and if I used wrong license you should point this out, btw, application of proper licensing is what is needed with each image, you make wiki rules yet you have no clue about wiki rules on image licensing.

U can use any image, ANY, as long the owner agrees to the use of the image, and proper licensing needs to be applied, image does not need to be free to be used on Wiki, you need to use proper licensing tags that is all. I am not sure how you became editor on Wiki, not knowing that, but than you are just a kid, what do you expect from a child.

You did such mess in a workplace, say where I work, or in publishing, you'd be out of work for ever, no one would hire incompetent workers, as this is what you are. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mic of orion (talkcontribs)

Korean War Memorial Picture Transfer edit

I sent this message to User:Jastrow and he sent me here:

I know that the transfer of Korean War Memorial pictures from the US to Germany Wikipedia page happened a while ago, but I just found out about it. Can you please explain to me how German Freedom of Panorama applies to pictures taken in the United States under U.S. law? I would understand if they were being used as fair use images, but they are being used in a gallery and are licensed as free images: DE:Diskussion:Korean War Veterans Memorial.

So my question is the same for you.--Jorfer (talk) 21:21, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

According to the Schutzlandprinzip (approx. “principle of national protection” - I don´t know why there is no article about this in English Wikipedia) every works from countries that signed the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works are treated as if they were from the mentioned country. E. g. in Germany US works are treated as German works and hence protected under German law (and the other way round). This applies also in all other countries that signed the Berne Convention.
The key article for this is art. 5 of the Berne Convention:
“(1) Authors shall enjoy, in respect of works for which they are protected under this Convention, in countries of the Union other than the country of origin, the rights which their respective laws do now or may hereafter grant to their nationals, as well as the rights specially granted by this Convention.”
“(2) The enjoyment and the exercise of these rights shall not be subject to any formality; such enjoyment and such exercise shall be independent of the existence of protection in the country of origin of the work. Consequently, apart from the provisions of this Convention, the extent of protection, as well as the means of redress afforded to the author to protect his rights, shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the country where protection is claimed.”
Chaddy (talk) 23:10, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Very interesting, but there are two problems:

  • First, what evidence is there that the photos transferred were taken by German Nationals? I believe most if not all of them had English text originally, so the evidence would be against it (e.g. DE:Datei:US Korean War Memorial 5.jpg where User:Kubina appears to be an American citizen.)
  • Second, what evidence is there that the rights allotted in the treaty to German Nationals usurp those granted to an American National over derivatives? From a U.S. Law perspective, Freedom of Panorama in regard to artworks is not the right of the photographer over their own work as it may be in Germany, but a deprivation of the rights of the original artist. Since, their is no consensus in "the Union" on whether Freedom of Panorama in regards to artworks is the photographer's right, the U.S. legal definition as a deprivation of another author's right would apply, and thus would make these provisions not apply. This is different from a copyright length, for example, where "the Union" would all define it as an author's right regardless of how long they feel it should be for.--Jorfer (talk) 03:46, 27 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
That's irrelevant. The cited article does not only apply to Germans but to all citizens of these countries. If my link to Schutzlandprinzip has confused you: I have only linked to the German article because there is no one about this topic here in English Wikipedia (at least I did not found anyone...). But that topic is part of the Berne Convention and applies to all member countries.
And that's why we can use Central European law (German/Austrian/Swiss law) for all files hosted in German Wikipedia. Thus in German Wikipedia freedom of panorama also applies to the images of the Korean War Veterans Memorial.
By the way, in Central Europe there is no such principle of law as "fair use". So we can't use fair use in German Wikipedia (but anyway that's unnecessary in this case). Chaddy (talk) 21:43, 27 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
OK, my mistake; I misread "their" in the first clause as referring to "authors" rather than "countries of the Union other than the country of origin". A pronoun reference can change everything. This conversation has not been in vain, however. In researching answers to this I found out that the Wikipedia Foundation classifies Freedom of Panorama photos taken in countries where the image would be non-free as non-free images and requires a fair use rationale in addition to the free license of the photo (see File:Atomium 20-08-07.jpg). Based on the wording "Wikipedia Foundation", this should mean it applies equally to the German Wikipedia. This also includes all the requirements in WP:NFCC, which means while the images are properly licensed in Germany, they do not meet Wikipedia guidelines for contextual significance, low resolution, etc. .--Jorfer (talk) 00:43, 28 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Where did you find this guideline relating to freedom of panorama? Only with that image of the Atomium? That's English Wikipedia, they follow US and British law as I think. And at least in the States there is no freedom of panorama any longer (there was but it has been abolished). Thus fair use is needed to proberly use images of the Atomium.
On Commons it's similar (but there fair use is not accepted). There applies US law and the law of the country of origin (which varies from image to image of course). Thus freedom of panorama is not possible there.
In German Wikipedia applies Central European law as I have already said. Thus there we can use images of the Atomium or the Korean War Veterans Memorial without fair use.
By the way, in German Wikipedia we can't use many other files because we don't have fair use. So every legal system has it's advantages and disadvantages. ;) Chaddy (talk) 03:41, 28 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
It requires a fair use rationale in America for these pictures (even though it is not; they use the same template in this case, I am sure, because it is easier), but maybe they would have to make a special "non-free in location country rationale" template in the case of Germany for this. The United States has Freedom of Panorama in regards to buildings and before 1990 buildings couldn't even be copyrighted in the United States (see Commons:Freedom of Panorama#United States; great, we both learned something out of this). The US has no Freedom of Panorama with regards to artistic works. I was referring to this template: {{Non-free architectural work}}.

Millencolin edit

Your claim that "Millencolin is a very typical example for this genre" (melodic hardcore) is entirely your own point of view. The genre is not mentioned anywhere in the article, nor are any sources cited to support it. If you can cite reliable sources that describe Millencolin as a melodic hardcore act, then you can add content to the article using those sources. --IllaZilla (talk) 23:35, 21 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

I'll have to prewarn you. There is no "standard Bavarian" but there are many different regional variantions. I'm from the border area to the Franconian and the Swabian language area. Thus "my" Bavarian has many influences from these two dialects...
Anyhow I'll try to help you and to keep out those impacts of foreign dialects. ;)
