File:FGN as Padmavati.jpg

The image was taken in the years before and upto the years of the first world war (1914-18).These are from the personal collections, of friends, followers, relatives, and people interested in the history of art in modern Tamilnadu and India.

So what is required, to upload this image in wikipedia? for possible use in the F.G._Natesa_Iyer?

There are a few more images also from those days (hundred years ago), which can be uploaded?

Regards

Hassan II Mosque

I don't not only how can a mosque financed by Moroccan people (see article) built by Moroccan government to be used by Muslim public for free to be copyrighted, but also can't understand that some users upload the mosque's photos to Commons and remained, while I upload it to Wikipedia and deleted?!! Do the heirs of the French engineer receive any copyright money like any copyright holder?!!!!!!!!!--Maher27777 (talk) 21:47, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Technically, due to Freedom of Panorama not existing in Morocco the images shouldn't be on Commons either. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:50, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Maurice Duplessis2.jpg -- Asclepias (talk) 03:10, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

FOP images

• Please stop disruptively tagging images of architectural works as unfree as there is no FOP in the source country (except if we can't be sure the uploader is the copyright holder on the image). As I've stated several times today, images hosted by the English Wikipedia are not required to be free in their country of origin, but only in the US; see Wikipedia:Non-U.S. copyrights, particularly "Wikipedia ... accepts content that is free in the United States even if it may be under copyright in some other countries". This is supported by {{FoP-USonly}}, a fairly specific template that you can easily use to replace tags you consider lacking. This has been upheld at previous PUF discussions (example, though not FOP) If you don't believe me, you can ask another editor who is familiar with Wikipedia's image policies. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:08, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

I could ask you that you apologise for characterising such nominations as disruptive. The nominations were made because there was a reasonable concern, that the images might not be free. I always make such nominations in good faith.

However, thank you for mentioning the relevant template, which I will consider amending the relevant images to if you are prepared to close the PUF's on that basis. It would also be helpful if the wording of {{FoP-USonly}} was calrified to say specfically give the reasoning you state, (currently it doesn't say they are acceptable locally directly.) It's also noted that it refers ONLY to architectural works. It doesn't currently say that isolate works (such as statues, sculptures and gravemarkers) would be covered.(For example, A statue on a mauseloum would be, but an isolate grave marker's statue might not.) Although it's common sense that works with a physically ,(as well possibly thematic attachment) to architectural works would be, those isolate from the architectural work concerned. The issue here would be when there is a distinct disconnection between the individual isolate work and the larger architectural whole.)

I'm willing to have a wider disscusion about this. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:24, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

• • I'm sorry that I called it "disruptive"; I was mistaken in not coming here earlier. Yes, you are right that US POV does not apply to statues / paintings / murals / etc.; perhaps the "architectural works" in my original post would have been better as "buildings" (avoiding the issue of bridges etc, as well as artistic parts of a work which become the focus of a photograph). I agree with your nominations of the French monument and statues, but the Italian building and the supermarket collapse are both free in the US (I'd argue that the supermarket collapse should be free in the source country owing to the destruction of the building, but that's not quite pertinent).

Anyways, thanks for the response. I'll edit the template. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:31, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

The following is what would I think count as an 'architectural work' subject to an artistic/creative input beyond mere practicality and function. (this list isn't exhaustive)

• Most buildings (inc. Car parks, transport hubs, bus shelters, kiosks, beach huts, pavilions, pumping stations. etc.. )
• Bridges (except perhaps, temporary bridges of traditional construction)
• Tunnel portals. (inc. for the sake of completeness, canals and sewers)
• Fountains
• Planned public spaces (but not necessarily isolate artworks located within them) with creative input beyond mere practicality.
• Hard landscaping and earthworks (inc. Harbours, fortifcations, etc.)
• Folly's and Fantasy works, in the above.

Not Considered 'architecutral work':

• Works whose design is solely on the basis on the practical function (i.e simple sheds/garages don't count)
• Isolate works of 3D art, whose removal is not necessarily detrimental to the larger work in which they appear.
• Isolate works of 2D art (excluding stained glass) whose removal is not detrimental to the larger work in which they appear, or are contained by.

We can disscuss further, if you want to open a suitable page. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:02, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

• • That would have to be discussed elsewhere, though I'd expect purely functional designs to not enjoy copyright protection. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:16, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

I don't think there is anything I can say to stop the deletion of the PD-India images you tagged for deletion. So if you are an admin, please go ahead and just delete them. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:04, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

If you tag any postage stamps for questionable non-free licences of other licence issues or for deletion or review can you ping me so I can see if they might be rescued, as I just did with File:Pakistan Khyber Pass stamps.jpg, otherwise I may miss them.

forgive my butting into this notice, but I wonder if the noble desire to keep these stamps from deletion, as it says with in the Tags as a record of the country concerned, could be aided by the uploader giving issue dates or at least an approx. year of use, in the FILE page rather than leaving it to the caption in an article?

Copyrighted image moved to Wiki Commons

Hello, a while back, an image [2] was uploaded by Josephsolomon92 under the claim that he produced it. It was subsequently shifted to Wiki Commons by you.

I have found out that the photo in question came from a Youtube screenshot link [3] and the original video was produced by the Land Transport Authority of Singapore. [4]. You can clearly see the same image on the right of the sidebar.

I highly doubt the user took the photo, or had the rights to release it even if he was involved in the production of the video (which I also doubt), considering it came from a Government agency. However, I am unsure how to explain the situation should I insert a speedy delete tag, which does not provide a space to explain clearly the circumstances.

I seek your assistance in this matter. Thank you. Seloloving (talk) 17:34, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you and good catch :) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 18:02, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

File:Dawley Court, Middlesex in 1929.jpg,

Hi Sfan, you kindly oversaw this image and thought it ok. Someone over zealous having queried it reduced its size and approved it, but then the same person returned, in a rather sinister Hollywood film way, and thought it still not ok so deleted it (as you noticed on my Talk page). I was wondering if, as I found their approach rather depressing and the sort of thing that when it happened a few years ago made me seriously reduce my contributions to the encyclopedia, (which is unpaid and thus unappreciated, and thus a waste of ones life?), you could advise and perhaps help restore, or would it be easier to put it back up again, simply re-load it myself?Rodolph (talk) 23:59, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

File:Salle-Favart-1840.jpg

You've looked in at this file just now. May I be a nuisance and ask if you'd run an expert eye over the bibliographic information I have put when uploading it? It dates from 1840, so I suppose theoretically if it was by a 20-year-old who lived to be 100 (unlikely, I admit) the PD-old tag may not be the right one. Your thoughts on this would be much appreciated. Regards, Tim riley talk 14:46, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

I find it highly unlikely it's not going to be PD. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:37, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Good. That's reassuring – thank you. I want the image for an article that will be going up to FAC in due course, so the images must be able to survive scrutiny there! Tim riley talk 16:49, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Another unfree image being moved to Commons

Please take more care when tagging files as being OK to copy to Commons.

About File:LongOfNaplesSquash.jpg

Hi, I have noticed you just reinserted the "Copy to Commons" flag on this page. I took it off when I copied the file here on Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cucurbita_moschata_Long_of_Naples_Squash.jpg

Notice that there is a section on the bottom of the page where it says: "File usage. The following file is a duplicate of this file (more details): File:Cucurbita moschata Long of Naples Squash.jpg from Wikimedia Commons"

Since the flag starts with this sentence: "This is a candidate to be copied to Wikimedia Commons..." it probably should be taken off. Regards. --RoRo (talk) 18:35, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

File:Lemurs Park.jpg

It is a picture, taken by me (SurreyJohn (a new user)), of an advertising sign and its surround, taken from a public place (i.e. the road) so quite legal. It is not an exact copy of the sign, nor a work of art, so I dont see why FoP should apply. There is no suggestion that public signs are copyright. From what little I understand FoP does not apply to the UK. Also this an advertising board showing an entrance to the site, not an architectural structure. Unless stated otherwise pictures taken in public places are allowed. I did send an email as requested and thought this was clear now.

Notice about discussion

Just to let you know that your file tagging for Commons transfer is being discussed on Commons. Green Giant (talk) 16:01, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

why tag all my recent map icons with {{esoteric file}} ?

The tag produces the following message :

This English Wikipedia-specific image or media file should not be copied to Wikimedia Commons.
While the license of this work may be compliant with Commons, its usefulness outside the English Wikipedia is unlikely.
It should not be copied to Commons unless a specific significant cross-wiki use can be demonstrated.

Given the description that accompanies the icons, it is evident that there is nothing language-specific about the icons.
Unless you are under the delusion that only English speakers use maps.
The only reason they are not already in wp commons is that they are still being tested.

So why post tags without thinking first ? André437 (talk) 03:24, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

They were tagged as esoteric precisely BECAUSE you said they were still under test in the image notes. No objections to removal of the tags if you think they could be moved once the testing is complete :) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 07:00, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
