ISSUES?

What issues do I have that you have to insult me for?-- Hornetman16 23:01, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

• You've been very passionate in deletion discussions on the English Wikipedia about your emotional problems. However they have no place in deletion discussions. -Nard 23:05, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
  • How dare you insult me!!! I didn't register here to be insulted! I'm Bipolar andI can get nasty and I don't want to get that way so please stop!!!!-- Hornetman16 23:09, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
    • The truth sometimes hurts. -Nard 23:16, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
      • You are are a Jackass sometimes! The fact you attack me like that hurts! And what Truth are you talking about?-- Hornetman16 23:27, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
        • The truth I speak of is the fact that just because something hurts your head doesn't mean other people have to listen to it. It doesn't hurt our heads. I know of the other Truth, the one about Jesus. Jesus never said we couldn't look at naked pictures. -Nard 23:38, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Jesus would surely frown on it and by the way God said obey those that have rule over you. Which florida law does. And that photo breaks it!-- Hornetman16 23:47, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Hornetman stop it. I can see nothing for you to gain from harassing Nard in this matter. Your approach is highly disruptive. You've said your piece in the deletion discussion, now please let the discussion continue and allow the Commons community to reach a consensus on this image. WjBscribe 02:35, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Then why do you keep commenting?-- Hornetman16 03:01, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Probably because I have something sensible to contribute to the discussion - i.e. replies to Nard's questions about Commons policy and various countries' personality laws? WjBscribe 03:58, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Thing is the Wikimedia Projects are forced to follow only Florida Law cause That's were both the headquaters are and the servers so technicly the only laws that really apply are those in Florida!-- Hornetman16 04:55, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Deleting map

Do you want to say that users from wiki do not have right to demand deletion of photo, map (or something else) which is used on wiki or ... ?? Rjecina 22:00, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

• No, I can note they are single purpose accounts! -Nard 22:23, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
  • To tell truth we in Balcans (and Hungary, and Romania) are simple afraid of Greater Serbia maps. I know that you do not agree but territory under occupation need to have different color of normal, home territory. Story how Vojvodina assembly has declared union with Serbia is typical farse of occupation force. This fact is shown from nationality of assembly members which nobody has elected. 578 of 757 (76.35 %) have been Serbs in time when Serbs has been only 33.8 % of population. ---Rjecina 22:31, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Let me offer my wholehearted thanks for undoing the bot edit that closed the deletion request for all of my common pictures. I had such faith that I'd be able to work things out nicely by talking to the nominator etc. then some bot goes ahead and deletes all my stuff. It would have been a pain to re-upload all the files. —the preceding unsigned comment was added by Fcb981 (talk • contribs)

Minnesota state seal

About PD-US, true :-) (although PD-Old and PD-US-not_renewed handle the other usual cases). Technically, federal government works never had any copyright so there was nothing to expire in the first place, so I think PD-USGov is a separate case. In any event, it is more widely applicable so it's preferable. State seal images are not inherently public domain I don't think -- different authors can have different interpretations which are arguably copyrightable; just look at the difference between the embassy version and the old revision taken from the Minnesota state web site. Since the {{US state seal}} template is specifically for tags from that US embassy website, I think it should include the PD-USGov-DOS tag (embassies are part of the State Department) and probably {{Insignia}} too (although the existing note about state laws having further restrictions is more specific and maybe preferable). Anyways, no big deal :-) Carl Lindberg 21:12, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry I didn't notify you re the upload.

Thanks for the explanation. I think the PD-art tag is inapproriate, but from what you write PD-US-no_licence sounds appropirate. What do you think about undeleting, changing the licence to PD-US-no_licence, and including a brief explanation on the order of what you wrote at Undeletion requests?

siebrand me manda a ti

A ver, os pasais la pelota unos a otros, y ahora no se porque no me deja registrarme, pero soy roxer, la autora de la foto Image:Anouk_teeuwe_in_dauwpop.jpg, que siebrand borró, supuestamente porque tu le dijiste que la borrara, sino lee su comentario en su usertalk. Estoy un poco cansada de repetir que esa foto la hice yo, en Hellendoorn, holanda, el 25 de mayo de 2006, en mi luna de miel (si ya de paso os puedo contar mi vida...)que la subi y en su momento, no hubo ningun problema, y ahora sin decir nada, me encuentro con que la habeis borrado porque he violado una ley ..... cual? Tenia que pedirla permiso a anouk para hacer la foto? debia abandonar mis fotos en holanda al pasar la frontera? Porque es la 3º vez que explico mi caso? Es que es muy fuerte... en vez de preguntar, mejor borrar, no? Pues a ver que me comentas que me pueda alegrar el dia, porque creo que no he violado ninguna ley.. o quizá si, y la SGAE me lleve a la carcel.... En fin, tanto ironizar, solo quiero una respuesta del porque.

I am not an administrator nor am I Bryan. I use the watchlist feature (top right of the screen) to monitor pages of interest to me, including Bryan's talk page.

It is altogether fine, but Wiki is not equal than Wikipedia or Commons, bear that in mind there are policies. Vandalism is not equal a good will and faith, as contribution is not equal a intrusion.

Italian government

Hallo, I am interested in the rule about the 20 years duration of the works by the Italian govenrment you cite in one deletion request. Could you please tell me where do I find this rule? Than you. As an Italian I am rather interested in it. --User:G.dallorto 16:21, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

• See Template:PD-ItalyGov and the associated talk page. The Italian law actually covers works by non-profits and cultural associations as well, but current compromise on Commons appears to be to only apply the rule to government works, as the Italian government may not be complying with European directives by not allowing other groups to have their due copyright, but is certainly allowed to waive its own. (I personally believe if something is a condition of doing business, ie you apply for tax-exempt status, you agree to certain restrictions on how you do business, then the government is free to impose these restrictions on you). -Nard 16:24, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi. What is the source of your knowledge that images from RadsWiki.net doesn't own it's content? I thought that in such cases, copyright owner is mentioned (such like here).

Image:Clock_underconstruction.svg deletion request

Hi,
I removed the first speedy tag yesterday as I thought that a broken image should not just be deleted, but could simply reuploaded. I admit that I may have been more explicit by dropping a note to your talk page (or to the talk page of the speedy requester), instead of just commenting my action in the edit comment box...
As you may have noticed, after your message on User talk:Spoladore, this user decided to request a speedy deleting on his own, so I'll delete the image. However, I'll not consider it as a duplicate of the png version, as svg and png are significantly different.
I hope I didn't harm in any way!

Regarding this: I understand, many people probably think (and from what people have said to me, I know that many do) that I am faking my age and that I am a creepy stalker releasing pictures and information of kids. However I think that COPPA is a load of shit, and I will defend my right to speak my mind. I don't know if you know, but my real last name is not Freeman.

Image Tagging Image:SopraninoSax.jpg

I wrote what follows to the author (Jay C. Easton):

Greetings. My name is Alessandro Forghieri and I am an amateur alto sax (and flute) player from
Italy, and a sometime contributor to the italian and english wikipedia, especially for jazz/music  
related information.

A few months back, I used saxophone pictures from the previous version of your site to illustrate  
several articles (in several languages) about instruments of the saxophone family. In the process, I   
also moved them from en.wikipedia (where they had been stored originally) to wikimedia  (the shared 
media site of wikipedia.org) thereby becoming their maintainer. At the time of the uploading, the 
pictures were tagged with this sentence:
"The photo is copyrighted but allows free use if credit is given to the photographer and my website,  
http://www.jayeaston.com/. 

Also, spiffing up the contrast/cropping is fine by me - anything to make the horns look good!
You have my permission (under the same terms) to use photos of my Tubax, mezzo-soprano, curved  
sopranino, straight tenor, straight baritone, contrabass, and/or bass saxes if any of them would be 
helpful to you.
Many of these are not on my site yet, but will be within the next several days. (I'm working on a  
site update with some new content.)

All the best,
Jay
www.jayeaston.com"

The above sentence has since disappeared and the images have therefore been slated for deletion from 
the wikipedia sites, unless an adequate copyleft statement is provided by the author. I am no  
licensing expert ( actually the endless copyright quandaries have greatly reduced my wikipedia  
involvment: I currently just maintain the articles I wrote/contributed to), so I will not try to 
explain the various licensing options, not least because they are in constant flux. The "attribution  
sharealike" license that has tagged your images to date, however, reads as follows:

"The copyright holder of this file allows anyone to use it for any purpose, provided that the  
copyright holder is properly attributed. Redistribution, derivative work, commercial use, and all  
other use is permitted."

If you intend to grant permission for the use of your images on wikipedia, you should therefore 
either provide a suitable webpage with suitable license information or simply reply to this letter 
granting permission: I will forward it to the wikipedia permissions mailox (and copy you the 
results). If, on the other hand, you wish to withdraw permission,  just express your intention and I  
will tag all your other images for deletion fom wikipedia and replace them with links to your site  
(it goes without saying that this would be a pity - some of your insturments are so rare, not to  
mention beautiful).

This is a list of the images and their usage:

   * SopraninoSax.jpg SopraninoSax.jpg (usage)
     SopraninoSax2.jpg SopraninoSax2.jpg (usage)
   * B-flatSubcontrabassTubax.jpg B-flatSubcontrabassTubax.jpg(usage)

   * JayCEastonSaxFamily.jpg‎
   * Straigh saxes

Thanks for your time and for maintaining such an informative and fun site.

Best regards,
Alessandro Forghieri

FYI, this is what Jay Easton (copyright owner) replied to my message, and what OTRS had to say about it. Also appended is my reply - after which, go ahead and delete anything you please.

OTRS:

As this image is hosted on Wikimedia Commons, it requires the owner of the image to provide a specific release of the image under a suitably free license (such as certain Creative Commons licenses or the GFDL). If you do this, then your content may be used on Wikipedia. I'm afraid that "permission to use on Wikipedia" is not adequate enough.

Thank you for your understanding! Please see <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing> for more information. If you require a sample email, you may visit <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Email_templates>.

Yours sincerely, Avi Isaacson

My reply (final):

My understanding is basically over. With this note, you made it clear that the wp licensing bureaucracy beats easily any Kafkaesque nightmare (as in "The Castle"). I am sure that, to you, this comes down as a compliment and that is all the more unfortunate. This opinion I will voice in any relevant public forum and whenever asked my opinion about wp (which will sum up as "Do not waste your time contributing to it, masturbation is a more productive option") Do with the images as you friggin' please, and congratulations for turning a wp-contributor into a wp foe.

I hope not to hear from you and your likes, ever again. Best regards,

Alessandro Forghieri

Image:Samsung-P2.jpg

Hi, I don't understand the deletion request. There are pics of other PMPs stored at commons, too. E.g. Image:Image-IPod_5G,_nano_2G,_shuffle_2G.jpg. So, why are this and also Image:SamsungZ5.jpg proposed for deletion? Greetz Marc

• Nominate the other image for deletion if you like. I believe the Samsung screen has elements of copyrightability. -Nard 02:09, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

• The P2 screen might have the needed level of creativity to be protected, but the Z5 screen is just text with a semi transparent blue and a photo, that i took, background. This isn't enough for a copyright by samsung. i'll make a new version of p2 with a screen that shows just one photo (taken by myself).--Marc Schuelper 12:43, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

• so I've just uploaded a new version of the P2, with a inage of my own a background, so you can close the deletion request --Marc Schuelper 13:03, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Image:LisaGerrardParis07.jpg

I'm writng in regards of Image:LisaGerrardParis07.jpg. I don't understand why I need permission to use my own work. What more do I have to prevent the image from being deleted?

It's flickr, but have a close look at the licence at flickr - it's "all rights reserved" --Marc Schuelper 18:39, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I just saw that. That's why the image kept on failing. I changed it on the flickr page and waiting for the image to be re-reviewed again. Thanks Marc.

I can't understand why you say I haven't given any permission information. I clearly put a link to the it.wikipedia page where one of the owners of www.araldicacivica.it sent his permission to use on wikipedia the material of his site, with the only request to write the name(s) of the designer(s). --Gian- 00:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, and thanks for pointing out the issue with this image. The permission for this image is the same as for all the other images from Jay Easton's website (Special:Search/Jay Easton will pick them all up). As you guess I don't spend very much time here, so how exactly do I go about this? Happy-melon 15:18, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

• It's ok, I reverted myself. The best way to make sure nobody ever questions it is to find his original permission that was posted on his site. http://web.archive.org can be useful for this purpose. Or you could email him and ask. -Nard 21:21, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

LOC template

I'll try to use it, thanks. Durova 05:32, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Image Tagging Image:Zac_Efron_2007.jpg

Howcome you removed the OTRS system tag? The appropriate permissions have already been sent to the OTRS system and there was verification by a user with OTRS access. --Dan Leveille^TALK 21:37, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

• Sorry. I think I ran my no permission script on an earlier version of the page, which reverted back to that version and then slapped on the no permission template. -Nard 21:41, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

what Romance ?

Are these romance languages that you read languages that use the Roman Latin alphabet (e.g. German, French, Dutch, Danish, Portugese, Sweedish, etc.)? Jecowa 05:24, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

• Consider it a .5 level in them, yes :) -Nard 11:23, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Wow. Jecowa 18:08, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

.5 is less than 1 :P -Nard 22:02, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Image:Braulinski W.jpg & Image:Zaleski R.jpg

hello, those fotos were made in a public place (the external wall of cemetery: [2]). I've changed their licence for {{PD-PRL}} because this "place of memory" (as Poles call this place) was made long time ago. I've also mend their quality. Zuska 12:20, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

• Thank you. These are perfectly legal pictures. I will close the deletion request. -Nard 22:58, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Empty pages

Hello N!

I don't think it would be wise to delete scans of empty pages. It is not clearly specified at Category:De Wikisource book, but we need those pages in order to create our projects comprehensibly. I'd appreciate it if you would revoke your nomination for deletion.

Yours, Jonathan Groß 23:15, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I'd also appreciate an answer. Jonathan Groß 13:19, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

• If they do fall inside project scope the closing admin will decide. I am not sure they do. -Nard 17:24, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Basics Logo

Hi there,

you recently tagged Basics Logo for speedy deletion, and i don't understand why, as it is there under fair use as a logo, therefore doesn't need permission?

If you are able to enlighten me, that would be great! 86.139.27.192 18:44, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

• See Commons:Licensing. There is no fair use at Commons. -Nard 22:26, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I have screenshot license concern confusion

Is it that the two images that are open at the same time on my desktop have incompatible licenses?

If this is a problem on my desktop, can those images appear on the same html page then? It is all just formated pixels -- html being a slightly simpler formating language than software gui, but lately not as different as you might think.

I am confused more than eager to aggressively defend the screenshots existence here -- possibly because my aggressive nature got tired while playing space invaders with clone tool idiots :) -- carol 19:53, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

The image has full permission from me.

Just an idea..

Instead of tagging for deletion left and right why don't you help me correct them.--Hornetman16 ^(talk) 03:31, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

The images are copyvios. -Nard 20:32, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Everything is a copyvio to you...even when it isn't and can't be...Like the ones you nominated for deletion.--Hornetman16 ^(talk) 04:27, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Magic 8 ball

Hi

I don't really know what I am supposed to do now. I took that picture of that Magic 8 ball right here in my room. What more can say about the license? --ChristianHeldt 19:50, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

• Change the license to pd-self instead of pd-ineligible. -Nard 20:31, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Your Request for Adminship was not successful

Thank you for volunteering to serve the community. It became clear that your request was not going to achieve consensus so I have closed it, in accordance with the emails we exchanged. I'm sorry things did not work out. As I said in the close, I hope you continue to stay involved in the community and perhaps, after gaining some more experience, consider volunteering again. Commons is a very neat place, I like it very much... it's not like other wikis. Again, thanks, and I wish you all the best. ++Lar: t/c 02:45, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Before revision read carefull, what is written in Template:PD-Russia. This work can or cann't be PD in Russia, but it's not PD in USA because it wasn't in PD on Jan.1, 1996 in Russia. Alex Spade 15:44, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Please stop put tags, I have permission

I have Lavelk's permission because I know him. If you want to put a tag, please put it on a single image of the series as other admins do. Bye. --Nyo 19:11, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Anti-Communism?

Can you stop ask deletion of pictures depicting Communist leaders? Your anti-Communist POV shouldn't be relevant here. Those pictures are not copyviols because they're old. --Nyo 19:17, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

• I'm not pushing a POV. I'm enforcing Common's copyright rules. Understand them and use them. -Nard 19:19, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Stop deleting Che Image

There is legal justification provided. The Image is NOT COPYRIGHTED. I have provided you a link to the law with the image. There are several justifications that could be used here (PD, fair use) etc. You are overtly bias and will be reported to moderators if you continue. Now go find another hobby other than vandalizing pages by deleting images with proper citation.--Redthoreau 19:52, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
