Just FYI

Since about one week spam on file pages from Bangladesh 37.111.224.0/19. Range block might perhaps cause collateral damage. Best, --Achim (talk) 16:25, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Definitely troublesome and thanks for the message . I've started blacklisting the links and running through the tools on Meta in case it's cross wiki. Best --Herby ^{talk thyme} 11:34, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Plus - the varied editing times suggest that maybe there are some proxies among those IPs. I'll look more when I have time. Best --Herby ^{talk thyme} 11:52, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Interesting - although apparently Bangladesh it seems like a number of them at least are actually .hu ones (and mobile pool IPs). --Herby ^{talk thyme} 15:15, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

You have claimed that i have commited a copyright violation in uploading a photo

hi,

that is my photo, i took it and i live in that building too. I have also uploaded it in the past on Flickr, here : https://www.flickr.com/photos/42071115@N02/4717255810/ Please remove the violation strike — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rtype909 (talk • contribs) 15:46, 8. Aug. 2020‎ (UTC)

Maybe - however it is "all rights reserved" on Flickr so cannot be hosted here. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 14:53, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi, if it is really the upladers photo he surely can upload the picture on Commons with another permission than on flickr. Why not? Perhaps they should proof the fact they are the author, bot if that's clear, several licences on several platforms are possible. --Emha (talk) 19:05, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Definitely - however permission would need to be provided via COM:OTRS to ensure protection for the copyright holder. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 06:44, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

So, @Rtype909: this is not a copyright, but a permission problem. Could you be so kind to send us a written permission as describe on COM:OTRS? Thanks, --Emha (talk) 08:25, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

OK - I think that the user has ceased to be active. In practice the majority of such uploads are not by the creator of the image but simply someone who has grabbed an image from somewhere on the internet and claimed it was theirs. Sadly we cannot believe everything that users tell us about their uploads. Thanks for your concern. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 08:39, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Aah - that one. The image I tagged was not linked to Flickr but was apparently from Alamy - a stock image. That was the reason for dealing with it the way I did. It is certainly possible that the image was uploaded to Flickr at some stage however it does not mean it was uploaded by the creator. Flickr is frequently used for "washing" licenses. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 08:43, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

The file which been tagged for speedy deletion

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Land-of-chaos-online-ii-revolution.png is my artwork from my game Land of Chaos Online II Revolution. And I can use to everywhere like steam or facebook page Can you remove the tag for deletion? Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lolizen (talk • contribs) 11:55, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

The only way we can host this file would be if the copyright holder provides permission and free licensing via COM:OTRS. This is solely to protect the copyright holder. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 12:19, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Can i delete this message now? i sent the mail for it — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lolizen (talk • contribs) 13:05, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

I would suggest that you wait until it is resolved by someone from OTRS - thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 13:07, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Dude please delete the image and this message. I do not use this website anymore so delete my account too. DO NOT UNDO AGAIN — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lolizen (talk • contribs) 09:05, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

This is MY talk page not yours - revert it again and you will be blocked. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 09:14, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Christina Scherwin picture

Thanks for your note. The picture belongs to Christina Scherwin. She asked a friend if she knew anyone who could upload a picture who asked a friend, who asked a friend, so on and so forth who asked if it was possible to upload it. What information is missing - that you need in order for the picture to be ok? thank you. MaskedSinger (talk) 18:31, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

The only way we can keep this picture on here is if the copyright holder provides permission via COM:OTRS. While this may seem tedious it is simply to protect the originally copyright holder. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 18:38, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

No problem. Understand completely. Will get her to take care of it. Thank you for helping me with this! MaskedSinger (talk) 18:41, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

OTRS has been sent. Do you want the ticket number? MaskedSinger (talk) 19:10, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

That's not necessary thanks - once the wheels are in motion it should hopefully be resolved soon. Best --Herby ^{talk thyme} 07:25, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

@Herbythyme: The tag says that it is missing essential source information and if not added in 7 days it will be deleted and what if it's not sorted in the time frame? I'm not sure what else is required or what else to do to avoid this from happening. The OTRS form has been submitted. The picture was taken by a trackside volunteer on her camera. What else do you require? MaskedSinger (talk) 12:00, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

 Done - I've taken the tag off so with "OTRS pending" the file should be fine. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 12:21, 13

August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you so much! I was worried that the week would be over and then it would be deleted. MaskedSinger (talk) 12:25, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Could you close Commons:Deletion requests/File:Heli Daruwala.png?

You deleted the actual file, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Heli_Daruwala.png&action=edit&redlink=1 but did not close the associated deletion request. Bookkeeping. --GRuban (talk) 13:07, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. --GRuban (talk) 20:30, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Niceland Seafood Logo

I just added this to Wikimedia Commons as I'd like to add it to their Wikipedia page. I have no idea what I'm meant to fill in or not fill in in order to add it correctly. I see most companies have their logo displayed in the infobox so wanted to do that as well. Would you be able to assist? Thanks. MaskedSinger (talk) 16:22, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

One of those grey areas however I think this is likely to be considered a "simple text" logo and so not subject to copyright. It may be up for discussion at some stage but equally it may not. Probably don't worry --Herby ^{talk thyme} 11:18, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Thankyou! MaskedSinger (talk) 18:11, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

File:Medicina legal removiendo los cuerpos de la ruta 47.webp

Hello I hope you are very well with respect to the article File: Legal medicine removing the bodies of route 47.webp you have marked it as a violation of copyright but I do not understand why if I published the image with the name of the newspaper that I take the photo that is the graphic press, I even placed the link of the article, that's why I don't understand, thank you very much friend, have a great time. --Sibrianosv (talk) 20:56, 18 August 2020 (UTC)Sibrianosv

The image is not your image. It belongs to the source that you copied it from and is copyrighted there. We only accept freely licensed images here. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 07:34, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

CUPS Admin Page

Hey, you marked my screenshot of CUPS administration page for deletion.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CUPS_Admin_Page.png
Under what license should I publish it here?
And what about that one? It also have copyright at the bottom.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CUPS_1.4.6_admin_rus.png
Thanks
--Emru1 (talk) 14:06, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

OK - good question. There is a clear copyright statement at the bottom of the image. It's Apple so I'm guessing they won't freely license it. I'll remove the copyright vio tag and put it in a Deletion Request instead. That will generate a better range of view I hope. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 14:26, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

"No source" on "own work" file

Hi Herbythyme, I wondered about this edit, were you categorized the file as "Media without a source". In my opinion the source "own" work is clearly given, so what should the uploader do / say? Thanks, --Emha (talk) 08:23, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

about this file

N.Iran.S nominated this file for deletion and you deleted it without checking there is not a copyright law in Iran...https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:%D8%A7%DB%8C%D9%86%D9%81%D9%88%DA%AF%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%81%DB%8C_%DA%A9%D9%85%DA%A9_%D9%85%D8%B9%DB%8C%D8%B4%D8%AA%DB%8C_%DA%A9%D8%B1%D9%86%D8%A7%DB%B0%DB%B1.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1 Baratiiman (talk) 12:59, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

There is nothing about free licensing that I could see (& I've just rechecked it) on the website. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 13:31, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Baratiiman این فایل و حذف اون چه ربطی به بنده داره؟ --N.Iran.S (talk) 02:43, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

@N.Iran.S: You are the one who tagged it for deletion? --Herby ^{talk thyme} 07:27, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi. No. Baratiiman is wrong. Thanks --N.Iran.S (talk) 21:44, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

image AL Badminton Player.jpg

Bonjour,

Je suis l'auteur de cette photo.

Je l'ai versé dans common en ayant me semble-t-il suivi la procédure, et malgré cela il m'est en permanence renvoyé une alerte selon laquelle : Cette image n'a pas de source valide. Il est impératif de renseigner la source de l'image et la licence sous laquelle cette image a été téléchargée afin que tout le monde puisse les vérifier. Plus particulièrement, l'auteur et la source du fichier sont les données les plus importantes, même si l'image provient du domaine public. Si possible, il faudrait pouvoir donner les informations sur la date de création. Sans renseignement de ces informations très rapidement, l'image sera supprimée dans les sept jours.

j'ai également indiqué que je versais sous licence

I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publish it under the following license:

malgré cela toujours le même message d'alerte

je ne m'en sors pas !!! que puis-je faire

merci de votre conseil --De Reinal (talk) 12:38, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Si l'image vous appartient, pouvez-vous en télécharger une version complète s'il vous plaît?

La taille de l'image signifie qu'elle semble provenir d'un site Web. Merci et excusez mon français! --Herby ^{talk thyme} 12:48, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Merci pour cette réponse... ne vous inquiétez pas pour votre Français : parfait. Il s'agit d'une photo de famille, prise sur mon portable, je l'ai recadrée et que j'ai ensuite transférée sur mon mail par la fonction "partager", elle a donc été compressée lors de cette action de transfert. Depuis mon ordinateur je l'ai chargée sur common. Je peux en effet télécharger la version originale .... ne sera-t-elle pas trop "grosse" pour Common ?--De Reinal (talk) 17:21, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

La version originale conviendra ici - pas de problème.

Lorsque vous avez téléchargé celui-ci, veuillez me le faire savoir et je supprimerai les autres images? Merci --Herby ^{talk thyme} 07:46, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
