The last Jew in Vinnitsa, 1941.jpg image

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_last_Jew_in_Vinnitsa,_1941.jpg Hi, this is just a trivial matter, but I noticed the smaller/older version of this image actually has higher detail than the larger one! As such I think that version should be used instead by default. The increased resolution is a complete waste since the image was merely upscaled. It's also more blurry and has worse compression artifacts, so overall the small version is quite a bit better. Pseudoantiquasi (talk) 16:11, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OK, reverted. Thanks for noticing. Yann (talk) 17:00, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm almost ashamed to be nitpicking like that, as the difference between the images is small. In the meantime I did have a look around, to see if there was an even better version somewhere, and I can affirm: there isn't one. This version is the best, and the best ones elsewhere are the same, besides the sepia one of course, which is roughly eqivalent in detail and rightly its own file (here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:German_soldiers_of_the_Waffen-SS_and_the_Reich_Labor_Service_look_on_as_a_member_of_an_Einsatzgruppe_prepares_to_shoot_a_Ukrainian_Jew_kneeling_on_the_edge_of_a_mass_grave_filled_with_corpses.jpg

Undeletion request

Hello @Yann, I do not know if there is a formal way to appeal the undeletion requests, so I hope I do not come as rude here. I do not agree with your decision not to undelete File:ALBERTO NÚÑEZ FEIJÓO.jpg as it goes against the precedent with Flickr images coming from official party accounts. Why is a VRT needed for this precise one when the common practice is to assume that the photographers have granted permission to release the image? If we were to be consistent, thousand of this kind of pictures should be deleted from commons. For instance, you have the official PP accounts of Madrid, Cantabria, Melilla and the EPP. I expect that if the file was reuploaded to commons, an eventual DR would result in the file being kept based on previous precedent. Basque mapping (talk) 19:36, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Basque mapping: Hi, In the other cases, all images on Flickr are under a free license. In the case of File:ALBERTO NÚÑEZ FEIJÓO.jpg, all other images are "All rights reserved". So I wonder why only this picture was released under CC-0. Yann (talk) 19:40, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Yann, I appreciate your rapid response. Now I will try to make a timeline of events around this image:

1) 9 May. Photographer Diego Puerta unveils a formal portrait of Feijóo he made two months before [1]. A self-described photojournalist, it seems however that in the last months he has been working for the PP, as all of the photos he has published in Twitter suggest [2]. It may be argued that the latter is not a proof of Puerta working for the PP, but upon a quick research in Google, there are dozens of newspaper crediting his photos in the format "Diego Puerta/PP", suggesting he works for the party [3][4][5][6][7].

3) 14 May. User Vaqueroj uploads the image to Commons [9] saying it comes from https://www.pp.es/alberto-nunez-feijoo-3 (recently the website was renewed so I was not able corroborate that claim). This user has been quite inactive, emerging from year to year. His edits record makes me believe they is somehow linked to the PP, which would explain why they inexplicably re-emerged to just upload this image and add it to the Spanish Wikipedia article.

4) 14 May. @LMLM marks the file as having no permission [10].

5) 19 May. The Flickr account of the PP changes the license of the image to CC0 [11]. Perhaps, someone warned the PP that they had to give permission for the use of the file and so they decided to change the license. I do not really know exactly what happened here, but the sequence of events suggests they deliberately licensed this image as CC0 in order to use it on Wikipedia.

6) 22 May. After seemingly no one contested the no permission claim, the file was deleted. Apparently no one realised the existance of the Flickr permission. Basque mapping (talk) 21:53, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Basque mapping: I think that Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Deva1995 is a similar case. I am waiting for the outcome to decide what to do. Yann (talk) 18:26, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Commons:Administrators/Requests/Chem Sim 2001 (2)

Hello Yann, since you commented/voted on my first RfA six years ago, I thought it would be a good idea to inform you about my new request. If you have the time, I'd be very happy to hear your opinion on this. Best, Chem Sim 2001 (talk) 16:49, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Paper documents

COM:SPEEDY is not an explanation of why you removed a category. This was a heavily used category before Rathfelder appears to have unilaterally emptied it. This is not how longstanding categories are supposed to be changed. - Jmabel ! talk 16:59, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jmabel: The category was empty. OK it should not have been emptied, but I can't check the history of all empty categories. Yann (talk) 18:25, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So where do we go from here? (and you are right that the history of the use of a category is often very hard to determine.) - Jmabel ! talk 18:44, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jmabel: Well, revert Rathfelder edits? Yann (talk) 19:06, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good. I'll do that. Just wanted to make sure that you hadn't been effectively endorsing them, and that nothing bigger was going on that I was missing.

By the way, COM:SPEEDY is really not a great deletion rationale. Your really ought to indicate which speedy deletion criterion. There is a big difference between C1 (where the category almost certainly should not be recreated and C2 (usually a plausible category, deleted simply because of lack of content). - Jmabel ! talk 19:44, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please restore

Please restore Category:March 2025 at Melbourne Airport, I intend to populate it in the next day or two. Had thought I uploaded a file to populate but clearly I didn’t. Bidgee (talk) 17:57, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OK, done. Yann (talk) 18:26, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bidgee: It turned up at Other speedy deletions again. Maybe Yann didn't remove the speedy template after restoring? Anyway, I declined the speedy request because I saw this message. I suggest watching the category until it's populated so you can remove any new deletion request that shows up. -- Auntof6 (talk) 02:23, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:Euphrasie Kouassi Yao.jpg

Bonjour Yann,

Au sujet de Commons:Undeletion requests/Current requests#Demande de restitution de ce fichier : File:Euphrasie Kouassi Yao.jpg, comment faut-il comprendre la situation en ce qui concerne cette photo (et d'autres dont le cas est semblable) ? Ça ne semble pas clair et ça laisse perplexe. Voici quelques éléments de réflexion.

Selon les données EXIF, l'auteur est "Bosson". On ne sait pas qui est ce Bosson (on y reviendra plus loin) ni si ce photographe a donné son accord pour que sa photo soit offerte au domaine public par une déclaration CC0.
La photo est du 8 mai 2018.
L'appareil est un Canon EOS 7D.
Le téléverseur du fichier (User:Mister Kolson) prétend être l'auteur de la photo et le propriétaire des droits d'auteur, ce qui semble douteux (pour les raisons ci-dessous), mais cette affirmation est possiblement une simple erreur de débutant, puisqu'il s'agit du premier téléversement de cet utilisateur, apparemment fait lors d'une séance de formation à l'utilisation de Wikimedia le 5 octobre 2024.
L'autre utilisateur qui a demandé la restautration du fichier à Commons:Undeletion requests (Aristide Kouamé, User:Aristidek5maya), dit que c'est lui qui a fourni la photo à Mister Kolson pour que ce dernier la téléverse sur Commons lors de la session de formation. Cela semble signifier qu'en effet le téléverseur Mister Kolson ne serait pas l'auteur de la photo. Alors, l'auteur serait-il Aristide Kouamé ? Dans son commentaire, Aristide Kouamé ne dit pas qu'il est l'auteur.
Le nom de famille Bosson semble porté par plusieurs personnes en Côté d'Ivoire.
Le nom Bosson ne semble apparemment pas utilisé par Mister Kolson ni par Aristide Kouamé.
Aristide Kouamé a téléversé sur Commons des photos prises avec divers appareils, mais apparemment pas avec un Canon EOS 7D, notamment pour ses photos de février à mai 2018.
La photo semble prise lors de la même entrevue que celle publiée dans le media FratMat le 14 novembre 2018 [12].
Plusieurs photos de personnalités actuellement incluses dans la catégorie Category:Ateliers Wikimedia Training Tour à l'Université Félix Houphouët Boigny d'Abidjan semblent avoir été téléversées par des participants de cette session de formation d'octobre 2024 comme exercices de téléversements. Elles semblent presque toutes téléversées en tant que "own work" par leurs téléverseurs respectifs et CC0. La plupart n'ont pas d'auteur dans les données EXIF. Parfois les données EXIF indiquent des auteurs qui ne semblent pas reliés aux téléverseurs, par exemple File:Sidiki Diakité (1).jpg, auteur EXIF "sylla", téléverseur User:Samenan.
On trouve aussi notamment File:Aimée Zébéyoux (1).jpg, téléversé par User:Ariele225 en tant que own work et CC0, ce qui semble aussi douteux, étant donné que les données EXIF indiquent que l'auteur est Bosson et, ce qui est intéressant, que les droits d'auteur appartiennent au media Frat Mat. Ce qui pourrait être le cas aussi de la photo File:Euphrasie Kouassi Yao.jpg.

Malgré tout, il est possible que ces photos soient légitimes pour quelque raison, par exemple si malgré toutes les données EXIF divergentes Aristide Kouamé en est le photographe ou s'il dispose des droits d'auteur de FratMat.

Mais, pour revenir à ce que je disais au début, ça ne semble pas clair. Je me demande s'il serait souhaitable de laisser ouverte la discussion sur Commons:Undeletion requests jusqu'à ce que les utilisateurs concernés aient fourni des clarifications sur qui est l'auteur Bosson et qui fait la déclaration CC0. -- Asclepias (talk) 19:33, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Asclepias: Bonjour, Je pense qu'il est préférable de créer une nouvelle demande de suppression avec ces arguments. Chacun peut alors d'exprimer avec toutes les informations disponibles. Cordialement, Yann (talk) 20:34, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Photos

We produced a Play-Drama by contributing funds. I was one of the co-Producers. We employed a photographer to click photos of actors for publicity.

Though photos were clicked by photographer, we own the photos. Or created means only the person who has clicked it can only upload it? Uday0611 (talk) 04:11, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) @Uday0611: was the copyright legally transferred? (e.g. either a work contract that was explicit about you owning copyright, or some later document clarifying that?) - Jmabel ! talk 04:37, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It was a minor work amounting to less that INR 10000 i.e. Indian currency. No contract was drawn. Only oral understanding which is the norm.

Just want to make it very clear I am not requesting to restore the photos or will not upload myself also.

I only wanted to explain how and why photos were uploaded. Uday0611 (talk) 05:06, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Photos (2)

All the photos were uploaded one after another at the same time hence messages were received later. Regret.

UN

Hi

Could you confirm that for Commons:Deletion requests/File:Maamoun Kuzbari.jpg PD-US applies (or not) instead of PD-Syria? Because the photo have been taken in UN General Assembly. Panam2014 (talk) 09:55, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

US law would only prevail if it was first published in the US. It doesn't matter where it was created, but where it was first published per Berne Convention. Abzeronow (talk) 20:51, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Scans of UK passport covers

Hi Yann, does this UK Gov document, particularly the two highlighted paragraphs, prove that passport covers are protected from copying? Cheers -- DeFacto (talk). 19:03, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@DeFacto: Hi, Yes, I read that, but we are talking about the design of the cover only. It is the coats of the United Kingdom, which is in the public domain. Only reusing this on new passports is not sufficient to create a new copyright. Regards, Yann (talk) 19:07, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The UK passport office document (link above) says this (my bold): The Controller of His Majesty’s Stationery Office (HMSO), who manages Crown copyright, must give permission before a British passport and the Royal crest image on the front of a passport can be reproduced. Are they mistaken about that do you think? Cheers -- DeFacto (talk). 19:21, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@DeFacto: Hi, I am not sure. May be we need a new discussion about that on COM:VPC#Scans of UK passport covers. I copied your link there. Yann (talk) 20:28, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for starting that. It'll be interesting to see what people think. Cheers -- DeFacto (talk). 20:38, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

bonjour, en ayant repris le sujet je m'interroge. Pourquoi la page -> https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Manifeste_TDC_-_4_sept._2021.pdf

My deleted images

Hi Jan! I'm sorry that you deleted a lot of my images.

Especially about the Kuril Islands and Crimea. I'm interested in Wikipedia's development. And some of the images were created by me and cost me some effort.

Such deletions undermine the desire to develop Wikiprojects. Moreover, I don't have much time for it. After all, I'm a WikiSloth.
