File:Shahrzad Rafati - CEO of BroadbandTV.jpg
 
Hello, I emailed further information about the rights to this image and haven't heard any response from permissions. The image is owned by Shahrzad herself (purchased from professional photographer), and has only been released to press with her consent. I was asked to upload this image to this page with strict permission from her.
 
How would I communicate the rights to this image properly? What would be the proper license?

== Route marker for Golden Pipeline Heritage Trail ==
 
Would the design of the Golden Pipeline Heritage Trail route marker, [http://www.busaroundglobe.com/globe/country/australia_globe/images/09-au-359-18.jpg shown in a photo here], be public domain in the US (per {{tlx|PD-ineligible-USonly}}), and would it be okay to upload a clean version of the route marker (drawn in Inkscape or similar), applying that template? - [[User:Evad37|Evad37]] ([[User talk:Evad37|talk]]) 08:08, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
:Similarly, would it make any difference if the arrow were excluded from the above design (which would be the very likely case for our intended usage) -- [[User:Nbound|Nbound]] ([[User talk:Nbound|talk]]) 08:35, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

== Concern about [[:File:Orphan by Uros Predic (1888).jpg]] ==
 
Is the painting in the public domain? I just want to know. [[User:Image2012|Image2012]] ([[User talk:Image2012|talk]]) 11:31, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
:The painting is considered to be in the public domain in the U.S. However, most European countries will not consider the photograph to be in the public domain until 2024. &ndash; [[User:Quadell|Quadell]] <sup>([[User_talk:Quadell|talk]])</sup> 12:49, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
::Is it in the public domain in its country of origin, Serbia? [[User:Image2012|Image2012]] ([[User talk:Image2012|talk]]) 13:00, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
:::That is a difficult question (all copyright questions are difficult). Here's my attempt at an answer. The present law in Serbia says copyright duration is 70 years after the death of the creator. Previous Yugoslav law was 50 years. Before that... ? And what were the transitional arrangements? Here, on Wikipedia, to be public domain in the US is sufficient so that is fine because it was published before 1923 (presumably). So, the fair use claim is not needed and probably should be removed. On Commons, US and Serbian law both matter and if there is doubt on Commons the image would be deleted. In Serbia, it is possible the actual photographic copy is also in copyright but again that is not so in the US. [[User:Thincat|Thincat]] ([[User talk:Thincat|talk]]) 16:23, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
 
== Maybe free album covers ==

* [[:File:04 (Six By Seven album cover art).jpg]]
* [[:File:Things we make6x7.jpg]]
* [[:File:Artistscannibalspoets6x7.jpg]]

--[[User:Nonexyst|'''ɴ'''õɴəχүsƚ]] 20:53, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
:One question to bring up early is that the UK (and others) has a very low threshold of originality, so something that would be PD in the US may well not be if it's from another country, and I note that (for example) [[Six by Seven]] is a British group. [[User:Chris857|Chris857]] ([[User talk:Chris857|talk]]) 23:51, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
:: Many groups have had different US and UK covers. US TOO is useful for us on the English Wikipedia, as PD in the US means you don't have to worry about fair use rules. Non-US TOO would only matter if you were moving them to Commons, where they worry about the source nation copyright as well as the US copyright.--[[User:Prosfilaes|Prosfilaes]] ([[User talk:Prosfilaes|talk]]) 00:12, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
::{{ec}} We can still use {{tl|PD-text}} for these since we are talking about how WP's servers would handle them. I do note that these PD-text/PD-textlogo statement link to [[WP:PD#Fonts]] that explain that when outside the US these images may ''not'' have free use (Commons does the same though I think they have a more specific tag for US PD-ness). We do have disclaimers that warn the reuser that they need to pay attention to copyright laws in their country if they intend to reuse the images, so we can still consider these free.--[[User:Masem|M<font size="-3">ASEM</font>]] ([[User Talk:Masem|t]]) 00:14, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 
== ENVIRON ==
 
I received the following notification:
 
The Wikipedia page File:ENVIRON Corporate Headquarters Arlington
Virginia.jpg has been changed on 28 September 2013 by Sfan00 IMG, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ENVIRON_Corporate_Headquarters_Arlington_Virginia.jpg
for the current revision.
 
See
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:ENVIRON_Corporate_Headquarters_Arlington_Virginia.jpg&diff=next&oldid=574755161
to view this change.
 
it stated: If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
 
I forwarded to the permissions-en@wikimedia.org an email from the owner giving consent to use the image and for it to be free media within wiki, prior to the deadline and it was still deleted from the imagery gallery.
 
I need to know what to do next, will it be reinstated, or do I need to reupload the image. Who monitors the permissions email as I followed the provided instructions but it was still deleted?
 
Please let me know what I need to do next. Thank you.
[[User:Caswivel|Caswivel]] ([[User talk:Caswivel|talk]]) 16:07, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 
:The problem was that you uploaded the file clearly claiming that someone else owns the copyright (even if they are planning on a free license release). which flags a possible copyvio. You did part of the right steps to avoid that in emailing permissions to show that consent, but there was a followup step missing in that the image page needed to be edited to include that that permission was pending. I have restored the image and added the appropriate tag (and removed the speedy deletion tag); note that OTRS is a bit backed up and may take some time to process, but should be within the week. --[[User:Masem|M<font size="-3">ASEM</font>]] ([[User Talk:Masem|t]]) 16:29, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
:Note also that you did not follow all the instructions, in that the copyright owner must contact permissions '''''directly''''': we cannot accept what purports to be a forwarded e-mail from a third party. --[[User:Orangemike|<font color="darkorange">Orange Mike</font>]] &#x007C; [[User talk:Orangemike|<font color="orange">Talk</font>]] 18:27, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 
Thank you for the clarification, I thought that I did follow the correct steps because I was told "or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org." which is what I did. For future clarification on imagery if an image is provided for free use what is the best steps and necessary items needed for upload. Thank you so much, as I continue to do research and reading through wiki it seems like there are multiple answers and steps and everyone is doing it slightly differently but I want to make sure I don't run into future problems. Greatly appreciate it!
[[User:Caswivel|Caswivel]] ([[User talk:Caswivel|talk]]) 22:25, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
:I don't think there is a hard rule that the copyright holder must send the email. See [[Wikipedia:Requesting_copyright_permission#When_permission_is_confirmed]] The instructions Caswivel received above say to forward an email is all right. I remember having acceptance of an email I simply forwarded (I sent it with full email headers not knowing whether this was helpful). I think it may depend partly on the individual handling the request and on whether there may be some reason to doubt that the email is indeed genuine. @{{U|Orangemike}}, can you indicate a policy that the permission must have been sent directly by the copyright holder? If you have received a letter giving permission, surely you can email a scan of the letter. No? [[User:Thincat|Thincat]] ([[User talk:Thincat|talk]]) 09:04, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

::<humor>Unless the ISBN is an [[illegal number]].</humor> I guess it might depend on what you would do with it, but I'm reasonably sure that anything doing a correlation of "ISBN"<-->"publication info of a book" is merely a set of facts, and facts are not copyrightable. Also, ISBNs are utilitarian, so are probably not copyrightable there as well. [[User:Chris857|Chris857]] ([[User talk:Chris857|talk]]) 00:13, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
: http://williampatry.blogspot.com/2005/10/judge-alito-and-copyright.html is a case about part numbers that would imply that ISBNs are uncopyrightable short phrases. Practically speaking, unlike the part numbers under question or Dewey Decimal Numbers, ISBNs have been understood to be universal property, that anyone can and should use a given ISBN for identifying a specific edition of a book.--[[User:Prosfilaes|Prosfilaes]] ([[User talk:Prosfilaes|talk]]) 02:52, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

== Re: [[:File:Davie's tree in 1850.PNG]] ==
 
Dear friends,
 
I made a huge mistake. Yesterday I uploaded this scanned file which was obtained from "J.P.Lewis. "The captivity of Major Davie". ''Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Ceylon''. 1923;XXIX (76).p 185" I was under the impression that the image was actually drawn by J.K.L Vandort in 1850. But when going through the image list of the journal I saw that it is attributed to "JPL -1914, after a pencil sketch by J.K.L Vandort in 1850". it seems the true author was J.P Lewis the author of the journal article. I can't find J.P. Lewis's year of death. What should i do? Shall i tag it for speedy deletion?
Sorry for the negligence from my part. I am ashamed.
 
Thanks in advance. [[User:Nishadhi|Nishadhi]] ([[User talk:Nishadhi|talk]]) 05:59, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
 
:Unfortunately i can't give you the complete answer (hopefully someone else can), but a few points: Via Google i found a publication of a J.P. Lewis in the "JOURNAL OF THE DUTCH BURGHER UNION OF CEYLON" dated 1928 (so + 70 will be a very close call, if that's the same "Lewis"). Also, you'll need an additional US-copyright tag to cover copyright both in the US and the source country ("PD-US-no notice" probably). This is a Commons image by the way, so you would have to request deletion on Commons. [[User:GermanJoe|GermanJoe]] ([[User talk:GermanJoe|talk]]) 07:42, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

== YouTube BBC video links and copyrights ==
 
Is it allowed to link to a YouTube documentary from BBC, not part of the official channel? This article explains how BBC and YouTube deals with copyright http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6411017.stm Since they can enforce any copyright claim at YouTube, videos which are accessible can be considered tolerated by the BBC, hence no active copyright infrigement. [[User:Prokaryotes|Prokaryotes]] ([[User talk:Prokaryotes|talk]]) 20:25, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
:The videos are still copyright infringements, even if the copyright holder chooses not to take any action on it. I'd also question if a six year old article is current policy with the development of iPlayer etc. [[User:Nthep|NtheP]] ([[User talk:Nthep|talk]]) 20:55, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

::: Basically, we generally have to assume that any video put up to youtube is a copyright violation (even if fair use) unless we have reasonable strong assurance that the uploader is the copyright holder of the entire work.

:::::: The encoding is based on the YouTube video standard from 2008, which didn't supported HD or videos longer than 10 mins for standard users. The user profile image is one of the scientist from the documentary, why would anyone else use this profile image.

[[User:Prokaryotes|Prokaryotes]] ([[User talk:Prokaryotes|talk]]) 01:45, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
::::::::: The only advice we can give is that we err on the side of caution that material published on sites like youtube are assumed to '''not''' be by the copyright owner, and require reasonably good proof that one does own the copyright on the uploaded material, irregardless if the use of material would otherwise be seem to be fine under US fair use laws. (In this case, assuming that is the full documentary, that's already a strike against fair use, since it's using the whole work).
::::::::: Here's a better question: why do you need to link it? I would believe that you are trying to cite the video (fair enough), so as long as you can validate that it was published and by whom, you can use a citation template that ''does not'' link to the video but refers to it. A reader that wishes to then see that video would have to search for it on their own, but that's no different expectation from most other print and off-line sources. --[[User:Masem|M<font size="-3">ASEM</font>]] ([[User Talk:Masem|t]]) 16:24, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

*There's no hard limit; it depends on how many are needed for discussion. Some featured articles on musicians have something like 5 non-free files (including music samples). I am generally a lot thriftier with my non-free content, though in one article ([[Chrisye]]) I've used 3 non-free files. Some articles on artistic movements (particularly those after the 50s) have ten or more non-free images. Most articles, however, get by with no non-free images (or one at most).

If you are an 'artist for hire' in the US the client owns the oriniginal artwork and can reproduce as they see fit .

:Well if you are the artist you can grant the license that you want, but if you or a potential copier do not have the original to copy it may be a bit hard to actually do something that you have given the right for.

:What it all really comes down to is whether fair use materials significantly improve the understanding of the reader, especially when details of the non-free material ''itself'' are discussed in detail. So, (and this may just be my opinion) if a music video is discussed in depth, and I'm thinking on the order of how paintings and the like are discussed, or a specific element from the music video, then a screenshot or short video may be appropriate. '''PS:''' Another thought about a sample (as opposed to a screenshot) of a music video, is that something essential must be present in the video that a mere screenshot cannot express.

==Question in regards to copyright==
 
Is it possible to upload a picture of art that was purchased at an auction by a private collector? For instance these 2 pictures here were paintings done by Willis O'Brien back in 1960 for a cancelled project.
http://www.icollector.com/Willis-O-Brien-concept-art-of-Kong-for-King-Kong-vs-Frankenstein_i11537029 and http://www.icollector.com/Willis-O-Brien-concept-art-of-Frankenstein-s-Creation-for-King-Kong-vs-Frankenstein_i11537031
 
All his concept paintings went up for auction a few years ago. Is it possible to upload these pictures to an article without violating any sort of copyright?[[User:Giantdevilfish|Giantdevilfish]] ([[User talk:Giantdevilfish|talk]]) 16:25, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
:A few questions: is it [[Willis H. O'Brien]]? Do you know when it was first published according to [[WP:PD#Artworks]]? If it's first publishing was the creation of copies at this auction in 2011, then [[:File:PD-US table.svg]] tells us that it becomes PD 70 years pma, or 1962+70=2032. If we are a bit more unlucky, it might take until 2047. So, unless some other circumstances exist that someone else can find, it would appear that copyright will last a while longer. [[User:Chris857|Chris857]] ([[User talk:Chris857|talk]]) 16:38, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
 
::Yes it was [[Willis H. O'Brien]]. It was for a 1960 project called ''King Kong vs Frankenstein''. The picture of the Frankenstein giant was first published in black and white in a early 1990s book called ''Willis O'Brien Special Effects Genius'' by Steve Archer. Here is a scan from that book http://www.roberthood.net/daikaiju-antho/unnatural_history/images/kingkongvsfrankenstein2lb9.png But it was published in black and white. The color painting (alongside the King Kong one) made its first appearance at that auction.[[User:Giantdevilfish|Giantdevilfish]] ([[User talk:Giantdevilfish|talk]]) 16:54, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
 
:::Is this not essentially the same problem you asked about in 2010 about another sketch of O'Brien's showing the scale between King Kong and a human? Did you ever [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions/Archive/2010/June#Question|resolve that issue]] which concerned [http://web.archive.org/web/20070820043250/http://www2.netdoor.com/~campbab/kong/kkfrank.jpg this image] because the problem is virtually the same. What's the difference this time other than the publication you found it in is different? BTW, just to remind you that we had two discussion on my talk page about the same issue that are archived [[User talk:Ww2censor/Archive23#Picture question|here]] and [[User talk:Ww2censor/Archive21#Picture Question|here]]. [[User:Ww2censor|ww2censor]] ([[User talk:Ww2censor|talk]]) 21:40, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
 
::::The difference is, is that the previous question was in regards to a painting that appeared scanned in a book. This one is the actual paintings themselves that have been sold at an auction rather than a scan. Since the paintings do not belong to the Willis O'Brien estate anymore and are now owned by a private collector I believe the question is different here. Who would own any sort of copyright on these paintings?
 
::::And BTW you really do have an amazing memory. You actually remember a question someone asked you over 3 years ago?!! I completely forgot about that and I don't do nearly as many edits as you do. Heck I don't even remember what I did yesterday. I wish I had your memory skills.;-) [[User:Giantdevilfish|Giantdevilfish]] ([[User talk:Giantdevilfish|talk]]) 15:36, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 
:::::Well, the memory is still pretty good for now. I recalled something similar to this, so searched for the discussions. Anyway, the issue is actually essentially rather similar. Unless you can prove that the painting were sold with their copyright, ownership does not confer any rights to the person in whose possession it is. The copyright belongs to the author or his heirs. IIRC, his wife is deceased without any children so finding who now hold the copyright will likely be rather tricky. As Chris857 says it may be 2032 or even 2047 before this falls into the public domain. Sorry to not give you better news. [[User:Ww2censor|ww2censor]] ([[User talk:Ww2censor|talk]]) 19:13, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 
::::::Is it possible that one could get around any sort of copyright? For instance can it just be tagged that its a scan of a one of a kind painting and that this will not infringe on any copyright (which more than likely doesn't even exist. I don't believe O'Brien even copyrighted these paintings). And perhaps tag it as fair use with the captions ''The image linked here is claimed to be used under fair use as: it is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality) and the photo is only being used for informational purposes.'' Wouldn't that be enough.

::::::::You cannot just skirt around copyright and if you want to make a claim under our non-free policy, the image must comply with all [[WP:NFCC|10 non-free policy requirements]] and the one you will most likely run into is #8 that requires sourced critical commentary about the image itself, which, if it was in an article about the painting, would be relatively easy but in a biography is not so to justify.

::::::::: Actually I wanted to upload the painting to the [[King Kong vs Godzilla]] page to illustrate the first paragraph under '''Production'''. That paragraph explains the origin of the film and the painting would be the perfect illustrative point, as it shows an actual painting from that planned production. If it wasn't for ''King Kong vs Frankenstein'' there never would have been a ''King Kong vs Godzilla''.

:::::::::Sadly, I don't see how you can get around the fair-use limitations. The illo may be :"perfect" from your point of view, but mere utility is no plea against a lawsuit, since it is not vital to the article.

Although this, [[:File:Wii U Game Banner.png]], was uploaded under a claim of fair use, I think it might actually be copyright ineligible (although it is trademarked).

== Rreagan007/television network logos ==
 
This weekend, {{user|Rreagan007}} created the image [[:File:Broadcast-network-logos.jpg]] and placed it on Commons under PD-textlogo licensing and added it to the articles [[List of United States over-the-air television networks]], [[Broadcast network]] and [[Television network]]. On the first I reverted the image under the argument that the article is much more than about the big American networks and added no critical commentary, and removed it from the third because the article should have a world view, not just American-centric.
 
Rreagan007 reverted my edit under the claim that [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_United_States_over-the-air_television_networks&oldid=578071670 "no critical commentary necessary, they are non-copyrighted text logos"], which I have reverted because I respectfully disagree with their opinion. They also changed the templates at [[:File:American Broadcasting Company 2013 Logo.png]] and [[:File:NBC logo 2013.png]] on the same justification, asking for a Commons copy. However I've had issues in the past about logos just being declared PD, and this weekend a logo for [[Disney Junior]] was removed from Commons as a copyvio by Fastily there (I reuploaded it here locally with the hope it stays solely on EN); I disagree that most television network images should even be on Commons in the first place.
 
I'm asking if my action was proper and meets [[WP:NFCC]] for the removals, if Rreagan007 is appropriate in taking these logo images PD, and if the combined Broadcast-network-logos.jpg has any use here at all.
