[edit]No protected 1960 interior as krd errorously tells. Photographer is the organ builder himself, iirc. Discussion: Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Pipe organ of Lambertikirche Aurich --Subbass1 (talk) 17:26, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- The DR Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Pipe organ of Lambertikirche Aurich was closed on the statement that the pipe organ is protected. The architecture seemed to not be an issue. Abzeronow (talk) 17:49, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- As I wrote: Photographer is the organ builder himself, iirc. Besides that on commons an organ case is never protected and is shown thousands of times. --Subbass1 (talk) 17:52, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
As noted in the DR, the problem here is not the organ itself, but the church architecture, which is modern and likely copyrighted.Oppose unless we have a free license permission from the architect also or an evidence that the church architect died more than 70 years ago.
If the images are cropped / altered to show the organ only and the church architecture in the background / surroundings is not shown at all or minimized, the photos may be OK.Ankry (talk) 11:12, 13 July 2024 (UTC)- The church architecture is not "modern". Try reading the german Wikipedia article. --Subbass1 (talk) 11:23, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- OK. It is from 1830s, I withdraw my comment. Ankry (talk) 16:28, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- The church architecture is not "modern". Try reading the german Wikipedia article. --Subbass1 (talk) 11:23, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Oppose I think Abzeronow has it right -- perhaps User:Ankry should read the DR again. The problem here is that the design of the organ case goes way beyond utilitarian and therefore has its own copyright. If, as claimed above, the organ builder actually took the pictures, then a note to VRT from an address at https://www.orgelbau-ahrend.de/ should be easy to get (The other named builder, Gerhard Brunzema, died in 1992). . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:53, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- The VRT team of course already has a permission from Hendrik AHrend for the pictures. For the organ case itself it's not necessary (but here included..), in common use on Commons. --Subbass1 (talk) 13:56, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Per the DR, we have the photographer's permission per ticket:2023120810006959. If that photographer and the organ builder is one and the same person (which I did not know until User:Subbass1 wrote it here, and which was not mentioned in either the previous undeletion request or the deletion request), that ticket should be re-evaluated to see if the permission also covers the organ itself. Else a new permission which explicitly covers both the photographs and the organ design should be sent. --Rosenzweig τ 14:00, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Again: it's NOT necessary to have a permission for organ cases on commons. Just keep doing so to scare away the last people who provide pictures. In this case, unfortunately, even the "superintendent" had to deal with the claim of a "modern church design". Ridiculous. --Subbass1 (talk) 14:08, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- If I understand correctly the situation, these photos of the organ are offered under a free license by the copyright owner of both the organ and the photos. Therefore, there is no problem of copyright violation with these photos. These photos of the organ are fine and free to use and have all the permissions necessary. The organ itself does not need to be offered under a free license. There is no need to force the organ builder to allow his competitors to build identical organs. -- Asclepias (talk) 14:58, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Support As discussed in the first round at Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2024-04#Aurich, the only goal of sending these files to a deletion request was to clarify the status of the church architecture, and on that point the closing administrator of that DR agreed that the church architecture is not a problem. The VRT permission 2023120810006959 from Hendrik Ahrend for the photos of the organ was not disputed. The organ is attributed to the organ building business [1]. It was built when the father of Hendrik owned the business. Hendrik Ahrend is now the owner of the business. (Hendrik himself also worked on the organ in 2022/2023.) He free licenses his photos of the organ. That's sufficient. We don't need to require that he sends another email to spell out that as the owner of the business he's giving the permission to himself to show the organ in his own photos, nor that his 94 year old father send an email as former owner. -- Asclepias (talk) 14:58, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- never ever Ahrend has to prove anything further. I don't wish that he is contacted from hee again, ok? Instead some persons here should overthink their behaviour (and knowledge) and inform themsleves better before making others lots of unnecessary work. --Subbass1 (talk) 17:59, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
This file was deleted by billinghurst on 8 July, based on suspected “CopyVio” flagged by user Enyavar on 14 May.
This file is a map that is a part of the Chicago Portage article and shows how the course of the Des Plaines river has changed since the time that native Americans and others had used the portage. The image shows an aerial photo of the current geography of the Portage site as it looks today with an overlay that shows what the river looked like originally before it was straightened by the Corps of Engineers. It is therefore within the scope of Wikimedia as per com:project scope. It is also not covered by copyright. The source of the underlying aerial photo is the United States Geological Survey. I did the overlay and it is based on a map that was part of study published by the Chicago Historical Society in 1928 and is therefore in the public domain. When I uploaded the finished image to Wikimedia, I showed “source” as “own work”, meaning that I had done the overlay. User Enyavar flagged the image for deletion on 14 May saying “Satellite maps cannot be ‘own work’”. Of course, he is correct. So, my mistake. I propose that the image be re-instated with “source” showed as “United States Geological Survey for the underlying aerial photo plus my own work for the overlay based on Knight, Robert; Zeuch, Lucius Henry (1928). The Location of the Chicago Portage Route of the Seventeenth Century. Chicago Historical Society.” Let me know what else I might do to get this image un-deleted. Thanks for your help.

The file is needed, in d:Q2356083 and at least in the Esperanto branch of Wikipedia, possibly in all 5 articles about him (Владимир Шмурло/Vladimir Szmurlo, 1865-1931). The person in question died in 1931 and was photographed clearly before, so the chances of the file to be PD are high. Anyway, the reason to delete the file were "no indication of early enough PUBLICATION to be PD". So the source of publication was not exactly enough indicated. That was certainly true, but there is no way anymore of knowing who was the uploader, what was indicated in the upload or when the upload took place. I would like to ask to temporarily undelete the file, for two, better four weeks, to send a personal information about the undeletion at lesat to me, one of three bureaucrats of the Esperanto Wikipedia - no problem if the note is adressed to all three bureaucrats of the Esperanto Wikipedia, and to let us check the file. --ThomasPusch (talk) 20:27, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- As an administrator, I can see the file. It's an old low resolution photograph. Uploader was User:Wierzbowski. It was uploaded in 2016 and the photograph is said to be "circa 1910". It's not clear it was published before 1917 though. Source is listed as an archive of an Esperanto society. Abzeronow (talk) 17:26, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
Info the image probably can be uploaded to enwiki under Fair Use.
Support temporary undeletion if anybody volunteers to do that. Ankry (talk) 01:05, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

I was surprised that my photo was deleted at:
File:Christos S. Bartsocas.jpg
as of August 10, 2024, by Túrelio. I am the sole owner of this photo obtained at a meeting in Corfu, about 10 years ago. As the Cyprus Alliance for Rare Disorders requested a photo of mine for their records, I sent them this widely used photo.
Please reinstate the photo in File:Christos S. Bartsocas.jpg in Wikipedia Commons. --Bartsocas (talk) 18:26, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Bartsocas: At upload you declared that you are the photographer (author) who made this photo? Is this true? Ankry (talk) 10:24, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Ankry: Yes Bartsocas (talk) 16:42, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Bartsocas: So please, either upload the original full-resolution photo with complete metadata as from your camera, or send a free license permission using VRT and providing an evidence of your authorship to them. Ankry (talk) 02:39, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Photographer gave permission to Artist to use www.tommcrae.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by Triskel2021 (talk • contribs) 12:02, August 14, 2024 UTC (UTC)
- The file has not been deleted yet, but such permissions must be received directly from the photographer (or copyright owner) through the COM:VRT process. Even if the artist has permission to use it, that may not extend to everyone else, so the artist may not be able to license it as freely as our site policy requires. "Own work" indicates that the uploader is claiming they are the photographer, and thus own the copyright. Carl Lindberg (talk) 12:13, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Reason: This file was deleted on the basis that it did not have a license for its "home country" of Ireland. However, the image was created in New York, United States and had a US license. *If* this file needs an additional Irish license, then I imagine that adding something like Template:PD-old-auto or Template:PD-Ireland-anon should be sufficient.
