2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Upload new version

edit

I have seen that you have uploaded a new version of File:Geneve Saint-Pierre E.jpg to get a photo with better colors. In what aspect did you improve the colors? In my opinion the shadow parts in the photo are now so dark that you cannot see the details any more.

In the list of your contributions I have seen that you have uploaded hundreds of new versions of photos. I checked a few and found in most cases not a real improvement of the colors. Why are you uploading in high speed new versions and what are your criteria? Regards, Wouter (talk) 13:43, 27 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

I guess than in more than one case you're right about the absence of real improvement in the pictures, but in some other cases the change is more than evident and even some of the original uploaders thanked me for the changes I've made to their pictures. Actually, my goal is to put more colour to some pictures where it seems that too much light (or too much darkness) in the pic takes off most of the original colours, adding something like a white (or black, depends on the pics subject) filter over it. I guess that my english level can't really help me to explain with precision what are the exact changes I'm making to the pics, but you can be assured that I'm not doing it with bad intentions... Quite the opposite actually, since I'm contributing in Wikipedia and Commons since nearly five years, without posing any real problems due to my behaviour or my contributions. Of course, then, it's up to you or other users (especially the original uploaders of the pics I've made changes to) to revert them to their original state. No offense, of course, would be taken by me as it's a scenario I was quite prepared to (I guess not all people would accept with the same enthusiasm any changes which are made to their pics...), even from the start of my actions. As I said before, in order to sum up, if you think that some of the newer version of pics I uploaded don't look nice or can't really stay up for any reason, feel free to revert them; and the same is for the original uploaders. I know it can be seen as... at least suspicious to have a user uploading newer versions of other people works, but everything I've done, was done in good faith and in order to improve the pics and all of it with good intentions. If this offended or posed any problems to other users then I can only say that I'm really sorry for this and that it wasn't in any of my intentions.

Αντίθεση

edit

Βλέπω ότι έχεις επεξεργαστεί αρκετές φωτογραφίες, όπου η κύρια επεξεργασία που έχει γίνει (μοιάζει να) είναι η προσθήκη αντίθεσης. Ναι μεν είναι χρήσιμη όταν μια εικόνα είναι επίπεδη, αλλά η πολλή αντίθεση δεν βελτιώνει πάντα μια εικόνα καθώς:

  1. Σκοτεινιάζει τις ήδη σκούρες περιοχές, με αποτέλεσμα να γίνουν ολόμαυρες (και να χαθεί πληροφορία που έχουν εκεί)
  2. Αυξάνει τον κορεσμό στα χρώματα, με αποτέλεσμα αν προστεθεί περισσότερο αντίθεση από όσο πρέπει, να μη φαίνονται πραγματικά (πχ, πολύ πράσινα ή μοβ)

Αυτά τα βασικά. --C messier (talk) 21:15, 9 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Δε μπορώ να σε καταλάβω. Να φαίνεται επ'ακριβώς από που προέρχεται. Άλλωστε, και τα διπλότυπα σβήνονται με ταχεία. Και να φαίνεται ότι πλέον προσθέτει επίτηδες και λάθος περιγραφές. --C messier (talk) 13:15, 4 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

You sure are tagging a lot of logos for copyvio. To further assist you and to place logos in right maintenance, add the following code below to User:Glorious 93/common.js:

window.AjaxDeleteExtraButtons = [

                    'label': 'Copyvio (logo)',
                    'tag': '{'+'{logo}}',
                    'img_summary': 'This logo exceeds the [[threshold of originality]] and therefore is subject to copyright.',

We need your feedback!

edit

Hello. Apologies if this message is not in your native language: please feel free to respond in the language of your choice. Thank you!

I am writing to you because we are looking for feedback for a new Wikimedia Foundation project, Structured Data Across Wikimedia (SDAW). SDAW is a grant-funded programme that will explore ways to structure content on wikitext pages in a way that will be machine-recognizable and -relatable, in order to make reading, editing, and searching easier and more accessible across projects and on the Internet. We are now focusing on designing and building image suggestion features for experienced users.

We have some questions to ask you about your experience with uploading images here on Wikimedia Commons and then adding them to Wikipedia. You can answer these questions on a specific feedback page on Mediawiki, where we will gather feedback. As I said, these questions are in English, but your answers do not need to be in English! You can also answer in your own language, if you feel more comfortable.

Once the collecting of feedback will be over, we will sum it up and share with you a summary, along with updated mocks that will incorporate your inputs.

Also, if you want to keep in touch with us or you want to know more about the project, you can subscribe to our newsletter.

Hope to hear from you soon! -- Sannita (WMF) (talk to me!) 09:56, 2 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

 

Привіт!

З 1 по 30 вересня вже традиційно пройде українська частина міжнародного фотоконкурсу «Вікі любить пам'ятки»! В Україні цей конкурс пройде вже вдесяте. На конкурс можна подавати власні фото пам'яток історико-культурної спадщини України — і змагатися за призи. Більше можна прочитати за посиланням.

Радимо ознайомитися із детальними правилами, а також із відповідями на часті питання. Як і того року — у номінації «За найбільшу кількість сфотографованих пам’яток» можна отримати 21 бал за фотографії об'єктів, якщо світлин цієї пам'ятки раніше не було завантажено.

Нагадаємо, що всі фотографії автоматично беруть участь у номінації «За найбільшу кількість сфотографованих пам’яток»; однак для того, щоб фото позмагалося у номінації «Найкраще фото», потрібно підтвердити це при завантаженні.

Цього року вперше будуть окремо виділені фото з повітря (дронами, квадрокоптерами тощо) — у спеціальній номінації «Аерофото». Для того, щоб робота потрапила на спецномінацію потрібно вибрати її у Завантажувачі.

Також вперше проводиться спеціальна номінація «Пам'ятки Подесення», знову пройдуть спецномінації «Відео», «Єврейська спадщина», «Млини», «Пам'ятки національно-визвольної боротьби» та «Via Regia Ukraine». Для участі світлин у цих спецномінаціях не потрібно обирати нічого у Завантажувачі — світлини зараховуватимуться автоматично з відповідних списків.

Усі номінації та спецномінації конкурсу описані тут.

Приєднуйтеся!

Зі списками пам'яток можна ознайомитися тут. Більше інформації про конкурс дивіться за посиланням. Щоб отримувати інформацію про новинки у конкурсі — підпишіться на наші блог та сторінку у фейсбук.

Важливо! Цього року відбулася адміністративно-територіальна реформа. Однак, ми проводимо конкурс ще за попереднім адміністративно-територіальним устроєм. Ми почали роботу над створенням списків з новим поділом, але вона ще не є завершена. Ви можете користуватися тими новими списками, що вже є, якщо потрібно відшукати пам'ятку за новим поділом (деякі ОДА вже почали присилати у такому форматі), але пам'ятайте, що нові списки ще не є повними.

Якщо у Вас є запитання, можете звертатися wlm wikimedia.org.ua чи у фейсбук – З повагою, Оргкомітет «Вікі любить пам'ятки».17:33, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Uploaded Images on Wikimedia Commons ( [[commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ερευνητής_Αλήθειας ]] )

edit

Dear Glorious93,

My name is Ερευνητής Αλήθειας (on Wikipedia, not in real life). I saw that you pointed out that some files I uploaded should be deleted, because they do not have permission. I apologize for what I did. I am a new user of the (Greek) Wikipedia and I have not yet understood the functions of the Commons. I would like to let you know that I did not do it deliberately and I would not want to be outside your community for that reason. If you feel that the photos should be removed from the site, then you can remove them. Personally, I have no problem (with whatever decision you make).


Yours sincerely,

 Ερευνητής Αλήθειας (Truth Seeker)

Copyvio logos and username

edit

Please be sure to examine their username when tagging logos as copyvio, e.g. File:LOGO-DDC SUPPORT.png or File:LogoCircular.jpg. Here, there is clearly a plausible claim that the user is or represents the copyright holder, so we shouldn't rush to delete their images. {{subst:npd}} works much better as a request for them to prove their identity. -- King of ♥ 01:56, 14 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Also, please ensure that there is no realistic possibility of own work before tagging, e.g. File:ILEI-Kongreso (51. - 2018 - Madrido (Hispanio)).svg. The listing of multiple authors and the pictures of a user meetup should tip you off that this logo is likely to be self-created, and if you follow the link to a variant of the logo File:ILEI-Kongreso (51. - 2018 - Madrido (Hispanio)) .svg, you'll find a kept DR and VRT confirmation. -- King of ♥ 03:11, 15 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Linking to copyvio evidence

edit

When providing evidence of prior publication for tagging images as copyvio, please don't provide a mere link to Google image results, as with File:Γάιος 2.png or File:Γάιος 3.png, because this doesn't prove that the image was published prior to the Wikimedia Commons upload. Instead, you should find an individual result which clearly shows a date that precedes the Commons upload date, and that will be sufficient. -- King of ♥ 07:06, 22 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello colleague. You recently requested this logo to be removed. You believe that copyright has been infringed. This logo is copyrighted by me. If you want, I can also send a message about it from the company's corporate email. (info@yenifikir.az) How can I confirm this? I want the logo to stay. Thanks.

Speedy deletion of possibly copyrighted uploads

edit

@Εὐθυμένης Hello, i have just received two dozen notifications of speedy deletion requests on images i have uploaded. I would like to argue that those requests aren't valid, since all of the images are sourced from content that is in the creative commons, per the uploader. I say this because the reason why i did upload those images was that this instance (not mine) was reviewed and found to be licensed under CC 4.0, according to google itself. Should that instance be also considered invalid, please clearly state so in any feedback, so i (and others that might make the same thought process) can avoid uploading copyrighted material. Thank you. Thepottato (talk) 16:12, 29 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Speedy of COA

edit

Hi! You tagged some COAs as a speedy DR. I checked a few and some I think are most likely correct but others may be PD because in some countries official symbols are not protected by copyright and in other cases the copyright might be expired. If you nominate one version for deletion like File:Gilgit Baltistan Government Logo.jpg then I think you should also nominate derivative versions for deletion. --MGA73 (talk) 10:43, 17 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

@MGA73: OK, thank for your letting me know. However, the problem with many of these files is that they use country-specific templates that seem to exempt them from copyrights. However, in many cases the exact interpretation of the law can be considered to be as rather questionable. For example, in one specific case I found one such template to mention that official documents are copyrights free. However, this template was used on an official coat of arms, which, obviously, is no official document. Except, perhaps, that it can ideed be found appearing on official documents... From then on claiming that it's 100% copyrights free because it's an official document... 😕 Εὐθυμένης (talk) 16:06, 17 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Copyvio tagging of logos

edit

Thanks for helping out by tagging complex logos as copyvios. Note that COM:CSD#F1 requires: "Content is a clear copyright violation, with evidence that no Commons-compatible licensing has been issued by the copyright holder. This does not apply whenever there is a reasonable possibility of discovering that the work is public domain through further research or a plausible argument that it is below the threshold of originality." It is not enough that you personally believe it is above COM:TOO; it must be so obviously above TOO that no reasonable person would disagree. When in doubt, you should start a COM:DR instead, e.g. Commons:Deletion requests/File:Kallitheafc official logo.png.

In particular, images which have already survived DR such as File:Gregorys English Logo.png must never be tagged for speedy deletion. An easy way to check is to see if the file talk page is a blue link, and if so, follow the link to look for any records of a previous DR. -- King of ♥ 19:05, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Please be sure to apply common sense. In a lot of cases it is reasonable to assume that a logo is not the user's own work, but File:Wikibrasil.png is very obviously an internal Wikimedia logo designed by a Wikimedian. -- King of ♥ 05:16, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for your work tagging logos. Please take more time when tagging to consider the license tag on the image. For example, File:Granollers Sport Club 1915.png has been tagged {{PD-old}} and this appears to be a reasonable claim. Stifle (talk) 14:41, 15 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Stifle: Hello and thank you for your words. Regarding this specific case that you're mentionning, my concern is whether the date mentioned applies - simply - to the foundation date of the club or the creation of this specific logo. Obviously, those two different scenarios would need two different approaches. 🏺ⲈⲨⲐⲨⲘⲈⲚⲎⲊ🏛️ ⲱⲑⲏⲥⲁⲧⲉ 19:09, 15 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Hi Εὐθυμένης, it looks like despite the concerns above you are still tagging large numbers of pages for speedy deletion, such as File:Flag of Lusaka.gif, which is explicitly tagged as public domain, because the coat of arms was created in 1955, more than 50 years ago. Even if you think such files are deletable, they should go through deletion discussions not speedy deletion, unless extremely obvious. @King of Hearts and Stifle: from previous discussion here. Cheers Amakuru (talk) 12:38, 4 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Amakuru: Hi, is there any specific documentation that this flag/coats of arms was created on the date stated? Because, given the original uploader's history of copyrights infringement (see talk page and deleted uploads) please allow me to have my doubts regarding those claims. 🏺ⲈⲨⲐⲨⲘⲈⲚⲎⲊ🏛️ ⲱⲑⲏⲥⲁⲧⲉ 12:42, 4 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
Well, the place I found it was at [1], which shows an image of the coat of arms with a label stating that it was created by Letters Patent in 1955. Now obviously, this Facebook post isn't itself a reliable source, but the point is this implies a very reasonable assumption that the work was indeed created on that date. And as was clearly noted above in this section, it should only be speedy deleted if there is "a clear copyright violation, with evidence that no Commons-compatible licensing has been issued by the copyright holder. This does not apply whenever there is a reasonable possibility of discovering that the work is public domain through further research or a plausible argument that it is below the threshold of originality." It would be fairly easy to verify the claim or disprove it, but I see no evidence that you've done so. I'm sorry to say this, and maybe King of Hearts can comment, but I think you need to stop tagging any files for speedy deletion as this appears to be becoming somewhat disruptive. Cheers Amakuru (talk) 13:17, 4 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Despite of the discussions at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems/Archive 102#Speedy tagging by Εὐθυμένης and the complaints above and below, you have recently still speedy-tagged several files that clearly aren't copyvios or should at least go through a normal DR process.

Speedy Deletion of File:Logo-Nordmorslista.png

edit

Hello! I see you have added a speedy deletion request on my upoladed file, File:Logo-Nordmorslista.png. I'm a Wikipedia editor on a very simple level, and are not familiar with all the codes used for editing deletion requests. could you please edit the request to instead be a normal deletion request? I'm not sure i will do it right...

the reason behind it beeing that the logo is that of a small norwegian political party. I used to be a board member of the party, and helped design the logo for use, but is no longer affiliated with the party (However, still on good terms :) . I will have the current party leader submit a release to te Commons Volunteer Response Team to prevent deletion.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, however! Would'nt want to break any rules! Ingesu (talk) 23:19, 4 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

This blocked user asked to be unblocked, but one or more administrators has reviewed and declined this request. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked. Other administrators can also review this block, but should not override the decision without discussion.

Request reason: "With the duration of the most recent ban being of one month, I get to understand that my actions are neither accepted nor approved because of their nature (massive speedy deletion tagging). As a result, and taking this into consideration, I desire to concentrate from now on either on uploading material (just like I used to) or on anything that has to do with files themselves (obviously not tagging them for speedy deletion and especially not massively). Thus, I ask for this ban to either be reduced or lifted as a sign of good faith, from both sides since I'm also stating from my own side that I'll abstain myself from similar actions or contributions that are more problematic than useful for this project as a whole. Instead, finding and sharing here - copyrights free - files of historic importance, logos that do not meet the threshold of originality, and, of course, photographs of my own, I think are far better and more productive types of contribution both for me and, of course, for Wikimedia Commons as a whole.

Renommages en masse

edit

Bonjour Εὐθυμένης
C'est une bonne initative, que d'entreprendre de demander en masse le renommage de tous les blasons.
Ceci dit, cela peut causer des problèmes :
1/ Le choix d'ajouter le nom du département, plus des parenthèses, au nom de fichier des blasons de ville, au lieu de son numéro, n'est pas un choix consensuel (l'inverse est vrai également). Un nom de fichier plus court est en général préférable, d'un point de vue purement informatique, d'autant que les catégories départementales répondent de la même manière que le nom du fichier aux résultats de recherche. C'est à dire qu'indiquer le nom de la catégorie dans laquelle figure un fichier, au nom dudit fichier, est parfaitement inutile ; le numéro du département suffit amplement, les autres informations sont disponibles dans la description du fichier.
2/ Ensuite, il est des blasons à refaire, c'est à dire dont il doit fait une autre version, comme celui-ci, et désormais le nom de fichier correct est pris. Autre exemple ici de fichier qui doit être refait, sous un autre fichier, et qui en conséquence ne doit surtout pas être renommé.
Il en est ainsi pour beaucoup d'autres, voilà pourquoi à mon humble avis, ne devraient être renommés dans un premier temps que les fichiers qui présentent des erreurs évidentes, et non pas une simple carence de "fr" ou de nom de département
Qu'en pensez-vous ?

@Kontributor 2K: Bonjour, étant donné que vous avez annulé l'intégralité de mes demandes de renommage, malheureusement, je ne vois pas vraiment en quoi servirait un dialogue sur ce sujet. 😕 Cependant, malgré cela, je me dois pourtant de rappeler qu'un certain nombre d'entre-elles portait avant tout sur des manquements-fautes d'orthographe, comme, entre-autres, des lettres accolées (alors que très clairement il s'agissait de plusieurs mots) ou des manques d'accents ou de cédilles. 🏺ⲈⲨⲐⲨⲘⲈⲚⲎⲊ🏛️ ⲱⲑⲏⲥⲁⲧⲉ 10:08, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Je n'ai procédé qu'à 148 révocations, ce qui fait qu'on est loin de pouvoir dire que j'ai annulé l'intégralité de vos demandes de renommage.
Parmi les annulations portant sur les erreurs de syntaxe, on a par exemple ce fichier qui utilise un modèle assez ancien, en conséquence un nouveau fichier est hautement susceptible d'être refait. Un renommage est ici pour cette raison non opportun, puisque le nom de fichier conforme serait pris par un fichier voué à ne pas être utilisé.
Je n'aborde pas ici le sujet de l'inutilité du renommage des autres fichiers obsolètes (png, etc.).
L'autre raison qui justifie les annulations est l'absence de source sur les fichiers ; en effet, rien sur la page des images en question, ne permet de certifier qu'elles sont correctes et correctement attribuées, et les erreurs étant fréquentes, une contribution utile serait pour chaque image, de prendre le temps de vérifier et renseigner la source, éventuellement signaler les erreurs, et alors seulement, si nécessaire (erreurs d'orthographe ou syntaxe), demander un renommage.
Par exemple, avant-hier j'ai demandé le renommage de ce fichier, si vous consultez l'historique, vous constaterez que le 16/02/2024 à 13:18 ont notamment été renseignées les informations qui faisaient défaut, blasonnement, références, autres versions, certifiant l'exactitude du blason, après quoi seulement une demande de renommage a été soumise. Ceci est la procédure normale.
Il y a trop de corrections à faire parmi les quelque 13000 blasons, au moins, pour se lancer à l'aveugle dans des renommages de masse.
Ce qui n'interdit pas, si l'on souhaite apporter des améliorations à l'ensemble, de renseigner les sources sur les fichiers, et de les catégoriser correctement si nécessaire

What "missing"?

edit

Hello, In the File:Argentina ice hockey logo.png that you tagged as "missing permission", I think you did not read the file description, which clearly states that the sun is the "Sun of May" a symbol first appeared in 1812. The word "Argentina" is a simple text design, below the TOO.

As the sun has no author known/disclosed, {{PD-old-assumed-expired}} (or similar) is the correct license for the symbol, as well as the {{PD-textlogo}} for the word. Because of these reasons I removed the template so there is no "missing" license.

However if you still think this logo should not be hosted on Commons, please start a deletion request for this file. Thanks, Fma12 (talk) 20:10, 3 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Question

edit

I saw you that you tagged 4 of my files for deleting, saying that I don't have permission to upload it. You need some context. This images are logos from brazilian Samba Schools and they are all under public domain since they been created, some of them are over 100 years old. I really don't understand. Eughoost (talk) 14:52, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Eughoost: The question here is not the date of creation of the said samba schools, but rather the date of adoption of those specific logos. 🏺ⲈⲨⲐⲨⲘⲈⲚⲎⲊ🏛️ ⲱⲑⲏⲥⲁⲧⲉ 15:27, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Εὐθυμένης They have been the same since they were created, they have only been digitized, and yet, they are all in the public domain, it is no wonder that there are already other uploads of samba school logos of the same type and they are completely legal. They have always been in the public domain. Eughoost (talk) 19:39, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

VisualFileChange (Batch DRs)

edit

Hi Εὐθυμένης, I see you have submitted a lot of DRs - thanks for your effort in identifying and tagging these to resolve copyright problems. Are you aware of the tool Help:VisualFileChange.js? It lets you easily submit a DR for multiple photos at once (as well as many other batch tasks), which I find helpful when reviewing DRs because I only need to respond once for multiple separate images. For example 1 and 2 could have been combined together. Hopefully this is as useful to you as it is to me. Cheers, Consigned (talk) 16:57, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I usually use it by going to a user's page, then clicking "Perform Batch Task", selecting the user, then in the VisualFileChange.js page choosing "Nominate for Deletion" at the top, entering the deletion rationale, selecting the files to nominate, then click "Execute". But you can also go through categories or do a search instead of selecting user. This screenshot shows the last few steps. In any case, hopefully you are able to use it, but no problem if you don't.

File:Coat of arms of the House of Zaccaria.svg

Hello, it has come to my attention that the arms of the Genoese Zaccaria that you rendered in vector graphics have the wrong colors. I've been researching Frankokratia for a while, and there's enough evidence that the Zaccaria arms were quartered or and gules, not argent and gules. If you could please correct them, that would be amazing, specially for use on the English Wikipedia. 76.76.25.10 20:54, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

"File source is not properly indicated" problem

Statues of public monuments in Greece

edit

The creator of this specific sculpture, Giannis Pappas, only died in 2005. As a result, and since there's no FOP in Greece, this file should be deleted. 🏺ⲈⲨⲐⲨⲘⲈⲚⲎⲊ🏛️ ⲱⲑⲏⲥⲁⲧⲉ 17:27, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

An earnest request in response to your deletion requests, based on the following points you may not be aware of: Though Freedom of Panorama is not yet part of Greek copyright law, Greece recogizes the importance of public monuments as a special category deserving more lenient copyright treatment.

Under Greek Law 2121/1993, "Άρθρο 26: Χρήση εικόνων με έργα σε δημόσιους χώρους Επιτρέπεται, χωρίς άδεια του δημιουργού και χωρίς αμοιβή, η περιστασιακή αναπαραγωγή και διάδοση με μέσα μαζικής επικοινωνίας εικόνων με έργα αρχιτεκτονικής, εικαστικών τεχνών, φωτογραφίας ή εφαρμοσμένων τεχνών, που βρίσκονται μονίμως σε δημόσιο χώρο. The occasional reproduction and communication by the mass media of images of architectural works, fine art works, photographs or works of applied art, which are sited permanently in a public place, shall be permissible, without the consent of the author and without payment." Using this freedom, every newspaper website in Greece displays photographs of dozens of copyrighted public monuments. Whole websites are devoted to recording them, with zero complaint from the artist/copyright holders. This is natural, because artists recognize that the works of public art they produce increase their prestige and the value of their non-public art. Indeed, a key problem artists face is the difficulty in linking their name to the public art they produce.

Because of the work I have done in creating Wikidata items for public monuments in Greece (see Wikidata:WikiProject_Greece/Sculpted_Memory_in_Greece) it is possible to link each photo of such a monument in Commons with the structured data that identifies the creator and to its subject. This is a significant contribution to making public memorials serve the purposes for which they are created. Public monuments play a crucial role in building civic memory and encouraging future benefactors. Unfortunately, most public artwork quickly becomes invisible to most of the population, and monuments tend to lose their power to educate and inspire. Sculptured monuments need to be recorded in printed works and online, first to encourage people to visit them or at least see them with fresh eyes; second to maintain a record, because public monuments in Greece are seriously vulnerable to damage or theft; and third for art-historical purposes. Note that almost all portrait statues in modern Greek public monuments are themselves derivative works, from photographs taken by others, a borrowing unacknowledged and unpunished because the public good far outweighs the tiny theoretical harm. Note too that a simple photograph with a hand-held camera in natural light of a 3-dimensional sculptural work is even more derivative. It is not a replica of the original work nor can it be confused with it. The imposition of copyright prohibitions has been a squalid attempt by powerful publishers to maintain their market share, not a defense of artists and their economic interests. In the case of public art, the licensing terms under which the art was commissioned are likely to be unknowable. Copyright may well have been waived. Before deleting these images I and others have laboriously uploaded and tagged, let us explore collectively the possibility of persuading the Greek Fine Arts Chamber EETE and the Greek Ministry of Culture agree on a legal interpretation or legal amendment that reassures Wikimedia Commons it can indeed play the role it is designed to play in protecting and disseminating knowledge of key cultural heritage. For example, a sentence such as: " When the purpose of a sculpted artwork sited permanently in a public place is to commemorate historical persons or historical events, reproduction and communication of images of that work shall be freely permissible, provided the name of the artist and the identity of the person(s) or event(s) commemorated are included together with the image." Please let me know if you are interested in pursuing this. JBradyK (talk) 06:30, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

"File has no source"

edit

Hi, you tagged the file File:Herfried Mencke (2011).jpg with "no source". Why? Author was the uploader, which is clearly visible. I undeledet this file.

When I had a look at your edits I have seen that you have tagged many files with this tag. For instance:

There are many many more.

Please undo all your edits in all these files immediatley.

And please be more careful in the future. Thanks and kind regards, Emha (talk) 06:53, 24 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Emha: Hello, regarding the first case you're mentionning, you're most probably right, if we take into consideration the principle of good faith. However, regarding the cases of File:Επισκοπή 3.jpg and File:Ελιά Κράσι.jpg, that you're also mentioning, these specific two were uploaded by a user with a problematic (?) history of uploads as one can see on their user talk page. Please, also note that back then, when the tagging and deletion of their uploads started I wasn't even active on that matter (tagging problematic files or files with possible issues). Lastly, regarding the case of the last two files you've mentioned File:Κώστας Μουρατίδης Άρης Θεσσαλονίκης ;.jpg and File:Kostasmouratidis.jpeg, the source was indeed tagged as own by the original uploader, however, judging from the original uploader's username, he's most probably related to the subject of those photos and what you see (due to the yellowish color among others) are photos of different press releases regarding his ancestor, that were kept most probably as some sort of personal archive. All those photos have an original photographer who's most probably not (?) the original uploader of the file. These are highlights and shots from different events and matches and as such only accredited photo journalists are allowed to be on the pitch, especially since we're talking about first division football / soccer here, and not Sunday league sorts of league. 😕🤷‍♂️ 🏺ⲈⲨⲐⲨⲘⲈⲚⲎⲊ🏛️ ⲱⲑⲏⲥⲁⲧⲉ 08:21, 24 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Dear Εὐθυμένης. I think it would be a much better idea to nominate files for deletion via regular deletion requests in batches per user, instead on tagging hundreds of files one by another as no source, specially when they actually have a source. Can we agree on that? (And if you could archive old parts of your talk page, that would be nice bacause it makes it more easy to contact you.) Krd 13:48, 2 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Krd: Hello, that's exactly what I'm doing, especially for the FOP cases but, still, somehow, I'm getting complains about that. 😕🤷‍♂️ Maybe, I went a bit too fast by tagging multiple files all at once, on that I can agree, regarding the speed at least. In general, I try to avoid this. However, whenever I find a case with multiple problematic uploads, I tend, unfortunately, to let myself get distracted and choose to tag them all at once, instead of taking the right amount of time for each one of them. Mainly, by fear of forgetting to do the rest of the work, mostly because of having completely forgotten the username of the user in question, basically. Also, I had this sort of experience in the past, where I would be nominating for deletion one user's upload, before, later on, being advised by other admins to try and "scan" the rest of their uploads, in order to have them - at least - tagged all at once. 😕🤷‍♂️ Maybe, I might be in the wrong here, or should I apply my "FOP cases principle" to all uploads, but then again I would most probably get in return rather angry complains once again about being deletionist, nihilist and so on. For sure, some more advice regarding that matter would be more than welcome, especially since I see that there seem to be a variety of different opinions here on what process should be followed and which should not. PS. Regarding the archival part that you're mentioning, I always thought - by seeing other users' cases - that this was being done automatically by some bot and not manually by us. 🥲 🏺ⲈⲨⲐⲨⲘⲈⲚⲎⲊ🏛️ ⲱⲑⲏⲥⲁⲧⲉ 17:22, 2 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
