Authors should decide their own license preferences

[edit]

I, Infrogmation, hereby "opt out" of the involuntary "license migration". Notes: The vast majority of my uploads I would happily agree to add cc-by-sa-3.0 to the listed license option (if that license is not one of the listed options already) IF I am ASKED. I do NOT consent to any change license of any of my copyrighted works that I have not personally authorized. I have NOT authorized any party other than myself to change licensing of any of my works without my explicit permission. See here on my talk page for discussion.

This was my stand more than 2 years ago. It has not changed. Months of work and thousands of edits have been required of me for this simple assertion of my basic authorship rights. I consider Wikimedia a noble project, but think Wikimedia should be deeply ashamed of the way they have treated and continue to treat contributors who have been kind enough to share their own media under free licenses. Infrogmation (talk)

I do so agree with you. This license policy of the commons project prevents me from uploading more photos because I do not like my pictures changed by other people and not even knowing about it. --Manuela (talk) 06:38, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Note: This was 2009. More than a dozen years later, I have still never been ASKED. I wonder if any else has. If changing license was actually considered of important for the project, I would have thought something like asking might have been attempted. Clearly this is not the case. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 04:13, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for closing this. Would you mind also closing the following related deletion requests? They were all started by Jeff G. on behalf of Vinuka2002 (like the one you closed) and I think the same principles apply, but they seem to have gotten sidetracked by some strange accusations between an IP editor and Contributers2020.

I don't understand this deletion

[edit]

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Stema e Komunës Mitrovicë e Veriut.svg

They say the deletion is because the emblem is fictional and only used by Serbian parallel structures, but last I checked, fictional emblems exist on Wikicommons. As do fictional flags.

Also, if it's used by Serbian parallel structures, technically, that should somewhat mean it's not fictional. Not technically official, but it can still exist.

If you really wanted to make it so people KNEW that it was either unofficial, then you could simply rename it to something like "Serbian_North_Mitrovica_emblem.svg".

  • See COM:SCOPE - anything on Commons "Must be realistically useful for an educational purpose", which goes for "fictional emblems" as it does anything else. I'm not familiar with the details about that emblem's history and use - I closed the request as deleted mostly because the rationale seemed plausible and the listing had gone more than a month without anyone making any counter-argument. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 14:18, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    After doing a little Google Images search, plugging the coat of arms into it, it seems that the only thing I find that actually uses the coat of arms with a not-exact image search is the Serbian institution that claims to be the government of Kosovska Mitrovica. (North Mitrovica) (http://kosmitrovica.rs/)
    And even that only uses the coat of arms. Not the flag seemingly. I can't seem to find people actually using the flag of North Mitrovica there. There are also seemingly multiple Serbian sources using said coat of arms. (Another google images search for it, exact matches this time) The source this place got the CoA of North Mitrovica from was kosmitrovica.rs. Yeah. Remember when I mentioned that at the start of this reply?
    It seems that it is mostly accepted by North Mitrovica as the coat of arms of the city. Kxeon (talk) 16:29, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You clearly know more about this image than I do. If you think there is good argument that it is in project scope, you can make it at Commons:Undeletion requests. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 16:31, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A question about this DR

[edit]

Dear Admin Infrogmation,

If this image in the DR above was a papyrus, then it should be kept because it is a more than 1500 year old 2 Dimensional Art work where the author died more than 100 years ago. In this case, the author would have died more than 1500 years ago. This would explain why this other image of king Senebkay from 1500 BCE was kept by Admin James Woodward since it was a painting or 2D art. So the license for the image under DR should be {{PD-old-100}} This is a painting and not a carved relief which would make it 3D art and inadmissible for Commons. The NC license at the source is not relevant for 2D works which are clearly Public Domain. What do you think? Maybe you or Merytat3n did not know about Commons policies on 2D works such as Public Domain paintings and papyri like this? Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 10:05, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2D art works which are PD are OK for Commons as long as this {{PD-old-100}} license is clearly given Admin Infrogmation and Merytat3n Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 10:17, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • The deleted file claimed to be 2022 artwork created by user Stefanantonius, which seems dubious. I don't know if was actually from ancient papyrus. Legitimately sourced PD art is fine; garbage claims are not. (So if you wish to upload something PD properly sourced, fine, but that particular deleted file does not fall in that category.) Cheers, -- 22:19, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
  • Hi Leoboudv - the file was one of many, many images with bogus attribution, many of which were legit copyvio, uploaded by this user and socks. Unsure if I knew of the PD license at the time but if I did, this was collateral damage, oops. Merytat3n (talk) 23:43, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment: Thank You for your straightforward and fair reply Admin Infrogmation and Merytat3n. I agree that Commons cannot use images with false attribution uploaded by a user and his socks. In this case, I suppose it was safer to delete then obviously. If I upload a 2D image that is obviously PD, I will give it a clear attribution. Best Wishes, --Leoboudv (talk) 06:43, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mazbel (Talk) 03:41, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mazbel: See file history; eg [1]; it was Public Domain Mark when uploaded. The Flickr user since changed the license. Should I tag it as {{Flickr-change-of-license}} or just delete it? IMO not a particularly important photo so I don't care either way, but I'm open to suggestions for the best way to handle this. Thanks for your attention, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 03:58, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see...the user on Flickr updated all image licenses as "all rights reserved" a few days ago. Clearly, you can leave the template {{Flickr-change-of-license}} although, I don't know if it's worth it (unless you want to keep the image) since it's not in use on wiki projects. --Mazbel (Talk) 04:13, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'll delete it. (Not a bad pic but IMO not important - we have a fair number of other photos of bands busking in this square, and I didn't notice any notable musicians in the band.) Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 04:19, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Revert

[edit]

As an experienced user you should wait before reverting to avoid wars. You interrupted me before I could collect all images of pieces now in the National Museum of Anthropology. None of the items now displayed there were there when they were discovered. The way is to create a category of "Historical images of the Statue of Coatlicue (NMA)", like I did for several other pieces. When it's all done, we can create another like "Historical images of pieces housed on NMA" to make the (correct) distinction you pointed out. But there is HUGE amount of pictures there (almost all uncategorized photo dumps before I started working on this) and I'm still underway. Be patient, be kind and presume good faith (I think you know the drill). In this case I'll wait to collect this one after. Perhaps I'll forget it, perhaps not.

Have a nice day.

Huaxteca stela

[edit]

Hi there! Congrats for the great family pictures you scanned and uploaded. Those are invaluable. This one is giving me trouble to identify. I found this one, that I think represents the same artefact (a stele, I guess), but I've never seen this one and I have over 1000 uploaded pics of MNA. Perhaps it's not being exhibited anymore. Any thoughts? José Luiz disc 04:29, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you succeeded in finding another photo of the same stela. I don't remember much, other than that it was in the Huaxteca exhibit and it was unusual in being curved. (I only visited the MNA 3 days, 1974 and 1976. I think my first visit with my family in 1974 was the only time photos were taken). I guess the stela on display then is no longer on exhibit there. Interesting! I wonder if it was moved somewhere else. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 15:37, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adela Breton Mesoamerican murals, Paintings vs Murals vs Frescoes, and Wikiproject Mesoamerica

Hello,

I saw you had been uploading some of Adela Breton's Mesoamerican works, and I wanted to talk to you about that further, since I was also wanting to potentially try to get some of their work uploaded at the highest quality possible and potentially have some ideas or leads on where/how we could get more of Breton's work. By extension, me and some other friends of mine who do online posts on Mesoamerica were thinking about reviving the Wikiproject Mesoamerica group and coordinating on edits. So I was wondering if you were interested in taking part of that, and if so, had a Discord or some other contact method for us to coordinate on things (Beyond the Wikiproject pages, which we'd obviously want to use an update as well, but starting out a real time chat service like Discord might be easier)?

Secondly, and this is a larger conversation all of us (again, if you're interested) should probably have, perhaps with other regularly Wikimedia contributors, but since you put Breton's mural reproductions in the Category:Paintings of war and the Category:Paintings of battles categories, it had me thinking: How SHOULD paintings, murals, frescoes etc from Mesoamerica be categorized?

There are both those Painting categories, as well as Category:Murals and Category:Frescos and their subcategories. Currently it seems like most Mesoamerican examples are in Murals, but technically many Mesoamerican murals are Frescoes. My assumption is "Painting" categories are generally reserved for painted art on canvases and paper and the like, but Breton's work is an iffy case since she is reproducing what was murals or frescoes, but as new works, and I'm not sure if she did so on walls or canvas or some other medium.

If we really wanna be technical, should codices be in Paintings, Books, Writing, etc categories? Maya writing is obviously true writing, but Codices from Central Mexico, Oaxaca, etc are arguably not. It'd certainly be weird though if the Maya codices were in one group of categories, and all the others different ones!

Anyways, i'm tentatively not modifying any of your Breton uploads, but again, let me know if you're interested in coordinating with us on Mesoamerican related stuff here on Wikimedia and Wikipedia, and what you think about all thisǃ

Good day, thanks for contacting me. First thoughts, yes, I'm interested in working to improve Mesoamerica media coverage. I'll take a more detailed look at categories later. I've not used Discord - I'm not opposed in principle to using it in the future, but I'd like to know what advantages there would be to doing so as opposed to communicating on wikimedia talk pages?

  • As to Mesoamerican codices, I notice Category:Mesoamerican codices looks to be in some arguably redundant categories, but most seem appropriate, eg "Illuminated manuscripts" and "Codices"; perhaps discussion on that category talk page can improve. I've read some recent work has suggested that Nahuatl glyphs had a full syllabary making it more of a full language capable system than long assumed (I've not read the recent book "Deciphering Aztec Hieroglyphs A Guide to Nahuatl Writing" by Gordon Whittaker but saw some articles about the work). Even if this is not case throughout Mesoamerica, I don't think we need to separate out codices by degree of ability to record full spoken language - they all stored information in a form useful to their intended users, so I think just categorizing by culture is ok -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 02:50, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Adela Breton I've tended to categorize by what is depicted. eg File:Breton Maya Mural Chichen Itza.jpg is in "Category:Chichén Itzá murals" - should we make a separate category for copies that are not photographs of the original? -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 02:54, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
