What is the reason for suspicion here? It's low-res, but that was common enough for a camera phone in that era. - Jmabel ! talk 05:26, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the resolution is really really low, and there is no metadata, only some odd "_error 0", which I've seen at many files that were confirmed to have been taken from somewhere.
However, I haven't seen the "Taken from a Motorola RAZR." previously, which sounds like own work.  Keep ~TheImaCow (talk) 16:15, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment: I tagged the image because of the low resolution, and the stated date, "10-9-07" neither matches the upload date "2007-12-30" nor the Exif date, August 2004. The source states "own work", but the author is stated as being "ASU", presumably "Angelo State University", so this is unclear too. ~TheImaCow (talk) 16:22, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This video can't reasonably be considered {{PD-old-1923}}. The original images may be public domain, but we don't have proper authorship information (Loïe Fuller wasn't the author, the photographers and directors of the works were). The editing, the captions, the music, the watermark, and the ending animation would all be copyrightable. hinnk (talk) 08:44, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The authorship information appears incorrect, showing the Vimeo uploader and not whoever made the compilation or the authors of the films used in it. The music used would be copyrightable.

Japanese stamps are copyrighted. I guess the ones in this image could be blurred out, but then there wouldn't be much of the postcard left at that point. So I think the image should just be deleted as COPYVIO. Adamant1 (talk) 09:55, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]


I don't think this file should be deleted, but am responding to a request on this talk pageː https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Didym where there is ongoing discussion as to whether the file can be retained - I believe there is a DM case, but there are other opinions Lajmmoore (talk) 10:06, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

̽ Keep The photograph is of a recyclable and brightly coloured sanitary bin, taken in a public hotel in Uruguay in November 2023. The interest in the image is that it is a recyclable box, which is very unusual, as is the colouration, but not the overall design. Whilst the image was previously tagged as a derivative work, I believe the graphic design is incidental and without it the image has huge valued as that of a recyclable item. I see a strong comparison between the example given in some the the guidance on COMːDM around artwork on tailfins (see). I also think that there is consideration to be given to Uruguay's Freedom of Panorama (see) and that there could be potential application here. At the time of photography, I tried to deliberately angle the photograph to minimise any face of views of the graphic, so to empahsise that it is the box that is the topic, not its skin. As context for the history of this request, I was talking about the lack of images of menstrual hygiene management on Commons, including sanitary bins (using this image), on stage at Wikiamnia (see̠), at the same time as the image was tagged for potential deletion. Many thanks Lajmmoore (talk) 10:22, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]


I do not know, is the US license valid or not, but the photo is copyrighted in source country Japan until 2060 (50+1 years from author's death). For that time US copyright is expired anyway (more than 95 years from publication). Taivo (talk) 10:23, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • It's hard to say for sure what the country of origin is under the Berne Convention, since this is a news photo that was published simultaneously in multiple countries. Whichever Berne country had the shortest term of protection would be the country of origin. The photo is public domain in, for example, China (50 years from publication for photographic works) and India (60 years from publication for photographic works). So if anyone can show it was published in either of those countries within the first 30 days, then that is the country of origin and the photo should be kept on Commons. I don't have access to any newspaper archives from those countries to make that showing, which is why I uploaded this on English Wikipedia instead of Commons. (Someone else imported it over here.) Toohool (talk) 15:25, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This file originates on this page of the US National Weather Service. However, the creator of the image is unknown and the photo is simply credited to the collection of w:The Journey Museum and Learning Center. The photo was taken at Rapid Creek, South Dakota in June 1972.

Without knowing who took this photo, we cannot know its copyright status. And if it were ever under copyright, we have no evidence of permission that this copyright was ever transferred away to put the image in the public domain.

At different times, various regional offices of the National Weather Service have held contests or other public outreach exercises that have made release into the public domain a condition of participation. However, there is no evidence that connects this image with any one of those initiatives.

According to the National Weather Service disclaimer linked at the bottom of the webpage, "The information on National Weather Service (NWS) Web pages are in the public domain, unless specifically noted otherwise." No particular form for such a notation is specified or required in the disclaimer, and a wide range of attribution styles is observed on past and present weather.gov pages. These range from very explicit, formal notices with the copyright (©) symbol, through to "Courtesy of ..." and "Photo by ..." notations.

Given that weather.gov pages have hosted thousands of third-party images over a period of more than 20 years and across over 100 regional offices, no special significance can be attached to the fact that not all of these notations share the same wording or format. Indeed, it would be extraordinary if they did.

Taken together, all of the above creates significant doubt under the precautionary principle as to whether this image is in the public domain.

I am not suggesting that it is necessarily protected by copyright; I'm saying that considering all the evidence together, we simply do not know whether it is or isn't, which means we must delete it. Rlandmann (talk) 10:57, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]


 Delete as precautionary principle seems to apply here. WestVirginiaWX (talk) 16:15, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep — As stated in the nomination, the image comes from this archived NWS webpage. At the bottom of the webpage is this archived NWS disclaimer, which states, “The information on government servers are in the public domain, unless specifically annotated otherwise, and may be used freely by the public”. For the clause of “specifically annotated otherwise”, NWS either allows the user to add a copyright “©” watermark to the image {as seen in this image, hosted on this NWS webpage} or by directly adding a copyright statement using “©” {as seen on this NWS webpage: difference between the “Tornado Photos” and “Damage” tabs}. That disclaimer is linked at the bottom of all three of the NWS webpages linked above (this image’s webpage + 2 I used as examples). To me, “specifically annotated otherwise” indicates a direct copyright (©) statement or watermark. For that reason, I support keeping this image as it is a public domain image. This ideology is also confirmed with the image being used on this live NWS webpage. Directly under the image and image caption, the NWS webpage says, “Media use of NWS Web News Stories is encouraged! Please acknowledge the NWS as the source of any news information accessed from this site.” Seems clear NWS wants people to use the image, otherwise they would not have said using information is “encouraged” and that you should cite “the NWS as the source”.

I wikified the German text and added a rough English translation with links to the relevant English terminology. I don't have any knowledge of "fantasy stuff" (also known as "radio waves / transmission", I guess), so my translation might be quite the mess, but hopefully it's good enough with the provided links to enable someone more knowledgeable about "fantasy stuff" to fix my translation if / as needed.
Also, the Google Maps image I get when I look at the depicted area looks different from the depicted map -- Google Maps doesn't have those lines in the ocean. This may or may not be a matter of my settings, I don't know. The depicted map rather resembles the map on OpenStreetMap than Google Maps. Nakonana (talk) 17:34, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Might just need proper source information and a different license tag since it's an old photo. Also noting that the uploader uploaded three photos of three different members of the Marquardt family and some letters that are addressed to Emil Marquardt and the certificate of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany that Emil Marquardt received. So, it seems that the uploader has some connection to the Marquardt family to the point that they can access the above documents. This might be a case for COM:VRT.

Dear Nakonana,
as mentioned in my reply to Hans Marquardt.jpg, I am a family member of the Marquardt family. The Photo Emil Marquardt 1914.jpg is in my possession. The source is unknown. As it was published before 1928, it is in the public domain (Commons:International copyright quick reference guide).
To upload the picture I took a photo with my iPhone camera.

  • Delete - one of many, many files by the uploader to support COI edits and articles on his family members and extended family, as well as to support several walled gardens. Unfortunately this behavior resulted in a recent site-block on WP. Commons nor Wikipedia are not a web hosting service, nor is it an appropriate venue to upload one's genealogical family tree. Personal websites or sites like Ancestry.com or FamilySearch are the appropriate venues. Sorry, but a file like this funeral notice has no educational value.
