*'''Oppose'''. I guess the reason is that they are (poor and undocumented) copies of public domain images that the bad flickr user copied from somewhere else and on which they placed a copyfraud license. Still, that would not be a compelling reason for undeletion. Nothing should be uploaded from that flickr user, it would cause confusion. Even when they post copies of public domain images, it is not useful to refer the users of Commons to those lower quality, unsourced, undocumented and wrongly licensed copies on that flickr account.

Files uploaded by Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: @Hystrix and Josve05a: Most of these files were deleted as "out of scope" but they seem to be acceptable images, mostly of natural landmarks. They were indeed uploaded with the intent to promote tourism in Nigeria, but there is no conflict with our project scope. Also, the uploader has verified via OTRS their identity as a representative of the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation, which should resolve most copyright concerns. Guanaco (talk) 17:14, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[]

Please see homepage of Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation [1], Point 3: “Unless expressly stated otherwise, you may not reproduce, modify, disseminate or otherwise exploit our Content in any way or form without our prior express approval. ... Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation trademarks and Tour Nigeria logos may only be used in conjunction with goods produced by Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation or with the express prior approval of Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation For the avoidance of doubt, the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation corporate logo may only be used by Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation.” and also com:L and com:advert. --Hystrix (talk) 02:17, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[]
Yes, but since the account is verified, dual-licensing applies and should be good. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 03:57, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[]
As for the mention of COM:advert it links to the section that the file must be realistically useful for an educational purpose. Simply stating that something is an advertisement is not sufficient reason to delete it. That section is intended to say that advertisements are not automatically useful, not that they are automatically unuseful. ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ ✍ ⏿) 11:32, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[]
@Guanaco: the e-mail to OTRS contains only the permission for the user account (NTDC). All photos are missing the name of the photographer. Some were previously published on Instagram. If NTDC is the rightholder, a permission must be shared for all photos. (Die E-Mail an OTRS enthält nur die Genehmigung für das User-Konto Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC). Bei allen Fotos fehlt der Name des Fotografen. Einige wurden zuvor auf Instagram veröffentlcht. Wenn NTDC Rechteinhaber ist, muss eine Freigabe für alle Fotos erfolgen.) Hystrix (talk) 20:06, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[]
@Hystrix: These should be OK if they were not previously published elsewhere, or if the EXIF data is consistent. The logo should also be OK. That's the point to have a verified account. Regards, Yann (talk) 05:37, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[]
The logo is restored. However, the photos are so different that they probably come from different photographers or websites. There is currently no approval. EXIF data are not available on any photo. (Das Logo ist wiederhergestellt. Die Fotos allerdings sind so unterschiedlich, dass sie vermutlich von verschiedenen Fotografen oder Webseiten stammen. Es gibt derzeit keine Genehmigung. EXIF data sind bei keinem Foto vorhanden.) Hystrix (talk) 15:06, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[]

Files uploaded by Aspahbod

In the deletion request here a person said that "No indication of own work on any of these" images, but the user's page on English wikipedia [2] shows they claimed them as own work and have a consistent artistic style. (A few images survived the deletion request because they were uploaded first to WP, then to commons by other users).

Streamline8988 (talk) 06:30, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[]

Pinging @Aspahbod.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 11:47, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[]
See "pictures" at Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Aspahbod. If these are not pictures, they should be in svg format.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 15:17, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[]
Can’t realize what Jeff speaks of. Isn’t wikt:picture a synonym for “image”? Why did Jeff introduce a new noun into this thread? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 17:34, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[]
Some images, including those stated above, have arrived with information which suggests they are not "own", for one example: " (diff) 03:57, 24 September 2012 . . Aspahbod (talk | contribs | block) (589 bytes) ({{Information |Description =
English: Iranian Raad air defense system

A link here.)" Each item must be considered carefully, those which require OTRS be done, and any which are actually drawings should be in a suitable format. Ellin Beltz (talk) 18:24, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[]
I'm not trying to restore that image, or any similar photo. Everything I'm requesting to be undeleted is a CGI drawing made by Aspahbod, as evidenced by the png extension. Streamline8988 (talk) 01:26, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[]
_DSC1171.jpg is evidently a photo. Ellin shouldn’t bundle photographs with images of unclear genesis, at least some distinction had to be explicated on the delreq – it could conserve a lot of time for Commoners. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 17:34, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[]
- Alexis Jazz ping plz 17:45, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[]
@Alexis Jazz: didn’t you notice the word “Raad” in Ellin’s post? Why do you expect to find any wrongly deleted media among nineteen JPEGs listed on 17:45, 1 December 2018 (UTC)? License reviewers can make mistakes. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 19:00, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[]
Read the deletion request and understood that Ellin misinformed the community about files to be deleted – not every file was claimed by Aspahbod for themselves. Also, deletion by Steinsplitter was rather irresponsible – he didn’t check Ellin’s allegations. An exemplary poor job by two Commons sysops. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 19:11, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[]

File:앞산전망대.jpg

those pictures are free copyright pictures, those are from Daegu City, and Daegu City permit use it as the Korea pubilc certificate it call 공공누리. and also i have been got OTRS with 공공누리 when i edit 대구광역시, so i think it is not wrong about my upload (talk) 03:37, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[]

Received an OTRS ticket, but non-government-controlled email address asserting government agent. Directed them to re-send using Government email address. The license in permission ticket was CC BY SA 4.0 Intl, not {{KOGL}}. — regards, Revi 10:38, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[]

File:Lettera Boratto p2.JPG

Please compare to File:Lettera Boratto p1.JPG which still exists on the commons. Evrik (talk) 17:54, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[]

File:Willem van Waning (1897-1968).jpg

I took and modified this photo from [3]. It is said in their copyright page, [4], that Verder geldt dat de auteurswet niet van toepassing is op materiaal afkomstig van de overheid, mits het auteursrecht uitdrukkelijk is voorbehouden. Roughly translated in English as "Furthermore, the copyright law does not apply to material originating from the government, provided that the copyright is expressly reserved." (My apology that i don't speak Dutch) Since this photo is a work of the city government of Leek, could this photo is considered copyright-free? Any help from Dutch users here would be really appreciated, Thank you. Afrogindahood (talk) 16:16, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[]

File:Professeur Nathalie Ros.jpg

File:Professeur Nathalie Ros.jpg; you have deleted this image I have uploaded as an illustration in my project of contribution "Nathalie Ros" because you have found it on a website (Koufa Foundation) and thought there was a copyright violation. I have taken this picture myself and I offered it to Nathalie Ros in order for her to use it in her CV; I am the autor and not Koufa Foundation that has no copyright on this image. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lagrimardière (talk • contribs) 2018-10-31 10:00:00 (UTC)

@Tuvalkin: I can't see it. It's redeleted. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 18:56, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[]

File:Marek Michalak and Tymon Radzik.jpg

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: The file shouldn't have been deleted as it is not a copyright violation. It is an official material and therefore, by the law of the Republic of Poland, it belongs to public domain. Please note, the photo has been published in .gov.pl domain (governmental domain extension). It has been misleadingly marked as copyright protected by some newspapers, which used it. These newspapers could use it without mentioning the original author only because it's an official material. Rembertow02 (talk) 01:02, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[]

File:Haldjad ooperist Midsummernights Dream Madis Nurms.jpg

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: It has been tagged with {{Npd}} by User:Mitte27 most probably by mistake (see Commons:Deletion requests/File:Carmen Finale.jpg as another example). It has a valid OTRS ticket (ticket:2009122810016222). If there is any issue with this file, it should be clearly explained in a regular DR. 4nn1l2 (talk) 01:06, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[]

The same story for the following files:

4nn1l2 (talk) 01:48, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[]

 Oppose - I don't think these OTRS tickets should ever have been accepted. The permission comes from the organizer of the event, apparently not from the photographers. Jcb (talk) 10:12, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[]
I added five other files to the list. Each file should be evaluated separately, preferably in a regular DR. For example, see ticket:2009122810016357 in which the customer has stressed they are both the designer and the photographer. 4nn1l2 (talk) 12:38, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[]
Yes, maybe one or two files can be saved. But most of the files have no valid permission. Also many deleted uploads of this uploader had no OTRS ticket at all. Jcb (talk) 15:10, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[]

File:Generałowie podczas Święta Wojska Polskiego 2007.jpg

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: The license was valid. The photo was taken in 2007 and the licensor's license terms for photos from MON were changed in September 2013. There's more photos taken by MON on Commons. File:Gen. Marek Dukaczewski.JPG, and File:Jarosław Kraszewski.JPG were uploaded in January 2018. Both files were kept after starting the deletion request. User:Nemo5576/MON doesn't specify if the license is valid for files uploaded to Commons or MON before September 2013. Photos taken by MON before September 2013 don't mention their authors. ElCet (talk) 11:12, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[]

Files uploaded by Tontonyua

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: These files are all inseparable and extremely important part of Beijing City Overall Plan (2016-2035) and Beijing City Overall Plan (2004-2020) announced by People's Government of Beijing Municipality. According to Article 5 of Copyright Law of People's Republic of China, as well as Article 9 of Urban and Rural Planning Law of People's Republic of China ("All units and individuals shall abide by the urban and rural planning approved and announced in accordance with the law, ..."), these files are out of copyright protection. Where are copyright violations? WQL (talk) 14:09, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[]

File:印军越界现场照片（一）.png

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: These files are all inseparable part of The fact that the Indian border guards crossed the border into the Chinese territory in the Sikkim section of the Sino-Indian border and China’s position(《印度边防部队在中印边界锡金段越界 进入中国领土的事实和中国的立场》), a diplomatic statement announced by The Department of Foreign Affairs, People's Republic of China. According to Article 5 of Copyright Law of People's Republic of China,, these files are out of copyright protection. Also, a part of vandalism of INeverCry. WQL (talk) 14:17, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[]

File:Teatro de Hierápolis, Pamukkale Theater 10216841227333395o.jpg 2

In Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2018-11#File:Teatro de Hierápolis, Pamukkale Theater 10216841227333395o.jpg, I asked DIEGO73 to overwrite the file in full size with EXIF metadata intact per COM:HR.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 13:44, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[]

Done. Type/Size/Px/Ppp DIEGO73 (talk) 03:50, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[]
@DIEGO73: By "overwrite", I meant for you to use the link "Upload a new version of this file".   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 11:17, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[]

File:Pauli Heikkilä - Tampere - 26.10.2005.jpg

I'm the photographer of this portrait and therefore also the copyright owner. I was requested to upload it myself because previous version which was uploaded by a person to whom I gave my permission to use it here was deleted. I accepted that this portrait is licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0. What did I do wrong?

--Zabex (talk) 21:32, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[]

The other user who uploaded the photo was asked to use Commons:OTRS to verify the license. You can do that as well. Thuresson (talk) 22:15, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[]

I sent official release of rights statement to Finnish OTRS (permissions-fi@wikimedia.org). --Zabex (talk) 22:48, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[]

@Zabex: Unfortunately, that queue is backlogged 294 days.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 01:02, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[]
Oh my God! I need it much faster ... Is there any way to speed up the process? If I publish this image under a domain owned by me with correct license information, is that enough? The backlog of English OTRS is quite long too, I assume? --Zabex (talk) 06:34, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[]
En queue is 170 days. I see the ticket in the fi queue Ticket:2018110510009544. I can tell you now that a gmail e-mail address is going to be a stumbling block - the whole purpose is to validate that the permission is correct, anyone can create any unused gmail address in seconds - your best option might be to put it on your web site (add the logo from https://creativecommons.org/choose/results-one?license_code=by-sa&jurisdiction=&version=4.0&lang=en) so long as that web site can be properly traced to you. Ronhjones  (Talk) 17:37, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[]
Ok then. If I'll register a fresh new .fi-domain and put this image under it with correct lisence is that proof enough? Finnish Communications Regulatory Authory verifies me when allocating domain to a private person (via my Finnish personal identification number). The owner of the domain in the whois-database will be me (Petri Sabel). --Zabex (talk) 20:21, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[]
@Jeff G.: The 300 day backlog doesn't meant that it takes that long to solve new tickets in the Finnish queue. Maybe there is one problematic ticket that has been abandoned and it makes the backlog seem so long. Unfortunately there is only one Finnish user handling the queue, so it depends on how he has time to check it. -kyykaarme (talk) 18:51, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[]

The file was deleted by User:JurgenNL for having no permission. However, it is found on English Wikipedia as en:File:Whangarei airport upgrade.jpg with sufficient author and permission information.

File:2018年台风玛利亚登陆前连江一户人家凉台花盆舞蹈.webm and so on

I request to undelete these files:

My reason: These files are uploaded to Commons first, so, I think, I do not need to do any claiming of copyright attribution. If these files can be found in other websites, they must be later then Commons.

Think about it. Other websites use files of Commons, then Commons delete its own files. It is ridiculous. - I am Davidzdh. 06:52, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[]

One year ago, a reply to Ticket#2017071410005022 has also pointed this out: If a photo is not appeared in other websites, you are no need to send the e-amil to OTRS. (It is also ironic that the photo mentioned in Ticket#2017071410005022 was requested to be deleted one year later because it has not been confirmed by OTRS volunteers.)- I am Davidzdh. 07:04, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[]

@Alexis Jazz: , please see Special:diff/328083588. I checked half of the listed files (mostly those uploaded by User:Cyclohexane233). None of them can be restored without OTRS approval. Their source is WeChat or QQ. Some of them have been claimed to be own-work, but that claim is obviously questionable. I will check the other half later. 4nn1l2 (talk) 19:42, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[]
@4nn1l2: thanks for this information. I have a question though: according to Davidzdh, some authors did send permission to OTRS, but were declined for using a free mail address. These are not professional photographers, so they can't be expected to have paid mail addresses. Does that mean it's now impossible to release the rights for these photos, even by the authors? That can't be how this was meant to work. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 20:02, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[]
This depends on the circumstances. I have accepted many permissions from free mail addresses in the past 10 years. Permission from a free mail address is not a problem per se, sometimes the statement is credible anyway and sometimes we can verify a free address to belong to the author. Jcb (talk) 23:04, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[]
@Alexis Jazz: I checked every single file listed above. At the moment, I can only  Support undeletion of File:华南优教研究所大门远摄.jpg, File:华南优教研究所大门及牌匾.jpg, File:华南优教研究所内.jpg, File:华南优教研究所大门.jpg, and File:高盖山公园大门.jpg per Ticket:2017043010001331 which has been processed by User:Taiwania Justo and partially by User:Wong128hk. I can confirm that the customer had been told that OTRS ticket was not required for their submitted files. This has also been reflected on the file history page with edit summaries written by User:Taiwania Justo (example).
Regrading your question, as I had already told you, OTRS agents do accept permission statements sent from free email addresses.
Each case should be evaluated separately, and there is no hard and fast rule. I may accept a permission statement which another OTRS agent does not accept. Such things are common at OTRS. I am not sure why these people send their works to User:Davidzdh and User:Cyclohexane233 rather than uploading them themselves, but if it has anything to do with Great Firewall, I would be happy to help them upload their works to Wikimedia Commons, as a user who himself suffered and suffers from Internet blockage. Maybe they can send their files to photosubmission@wikimedia.org which is a different queue from permissions queue, or maybe we can arrange a custom license template similar to {{George Bergman permission}} for this special situation. However, these issues should be discussed and resolved at COM:OTRSN. Feel free to ping me there. 4nn1l2 (talk) 23:48, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[]
@4nn1l2: I know, but the messages from Davidzdh would seem to suggest the authors were turned down for using a free mail address. It's a special case and I hope a solution can be worked out. I doubt they can (or even: should) send anything to a wikimedia.org address. Even if the firewall doesn't stop all communication: what if they take a photo of something the president doesn't like? This would result in passive censorship as they would hold back photos that may get them into trouble. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 18:00, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[]

@Davidzdh: I checked them. Some are still open. Some have been abandoned by the "customer" (i.e. copyright holder). That last one has been processed successfully: File:2017夏福州三中滨海校区址环境.jpg.
Nothing more can be done at this venue. Other enquiries should be raised at COM:OTRSN. 4nn1l2 (talk) 14:42, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[]
@4nn1l2: What does "Some have been abandoned by the customer" mean? “Abandoned” refers to giving up copyright or giving up authorization? - I am Davidzdh. 01:20, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[]
@Davidzdh: It means the correspondence has not been continued by the "customer". 4nn1l2 (talk) 04:22, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[]
@4nn1l2: Hello, after checking, these users were told in the email "it was impossible to prove that the person who sent the email was able to represent the websites that originally posted the content", they were asked to post their own email address on the "original source website". However, the first time these files were uploaded was Commons. Does this mean that they should announce their email address at Commons? I am worried that this will damage their personal privacy. - I am Davidzdh. 07:51, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[]
No, they should tell the OTRS agent that there is no "original source website" and they have no "official email addresses". Please note that using boilerplate responses is common at OTRS system. 4nn1l2 (talk) 09:10, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Let me explain in detail. These files were taken or recorded by who were able to do and sent to me. I went to their consent, filled in the author's name as they wished, and released it at Commons using designated copyright agreements.

Previously, after uploading the file, I would also ask them to send emails to OTRS. After I got the reply to Ticket#2017071410005022, I safely omitted the step to seek confirmation from OTRS volunteers. Because no website publishes these files before Commons.

In the summer of this year, these files were deleted (including the files which had sent emails to OTRS). I was told that I am not them (of course I am not them, I have already filled in the authors' names) and asked the real authors to send emails to OTRS. So I asked the authors to send emails. Some people (such as Ticket#2018081310006494) received replies from OTRS saying that "it was impossible to prove that the person who sent the email was able to represent the websites that originally posted the content". This is strange because the site that originally published these files is Commons. I think maybe OTRS volunteers think that these files were first published on other websites, and they want to declare copyright ownership on other websites. Other sites use Commons' files, but Commons wants to delete them, asks authors to request other websites that use Commons files post their names and copyright agreements, and then treat other sites as the sources of these files. This is not reasonable.

These files were not released on other websites first, then with the author's permission, the authors' names were clearly filled out and the specified copyright agreements were used. They had already satisfied the copyright regulations.

Many of these files have been used by the Mingdong Wikinews. This mass deletion has seriously damaged the confidence of the Mindong Wikinews volunteers. The enthusiasm of volunteers to post photos and videos on the news scenes is far less than before.

Please end this boring game of "deleting" as soon as possible.

P. S.: Some of the files were uploaded by Cyclohexane233. Since their problems are the same as the files I uploaded, they are presented together here. - I am Davidzdh. 10:51, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[]

Skipping the OTRS process was not 'safely', it was a mistake. As you can read at Commons:OTRS#Licensing_images:_when_do_I_contact_OTRS?, you should contact OTRS in cases where this applies: "I have received permission from the original author (not me) to upload the file to Commons.". If the permission is valid, this case can be resolved by going to OTRS. Jcb (talk) 17:33, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[]
@Jcb: Thank you for pointing this out. Does it means that I can use my own email to declare that I have obtained permission from the original authors? If so, I am willing to do so. This is not difficult. Because "I got the authorization of the original author" is a fact in itself.- I am Davidzdh. 04:01, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[]
@Davidzdh: You can, but we still need permission directly from copyright holders via OTRS. Have them carbon copy you on their messages.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 04:14, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[]
@Jcb: Thank you for explaining. So what you mean is that, only I send emails stating that the original author is authorized is not enough, and I must have the original authors' email to participate in the authorization process, even though their email address will be treated as free emails and will be considered invalid, right?- I am Davidzdh. 05:06, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[]
@Davidzdh: Validity should be considered on a ticket by ticket basis, and I am not Jcb.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 05:43, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[]
@Jeff G.: I am sorry, but I don't understand the meaning of "ticket basis". Does it means that it depends on the specific circumstances and cannot give a unified rule? And, I am sorry to have pinged wrongly. 😂 - I am Davidzdh. 05:53, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[]
@Davidzdh: Yes.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 06:00, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[]

A message from the copyright holder is necessary. It depends on the circumstances whether we sometimes may accept forwarded messages. Often the easiest way is to send a proper release text to the author with a CC to OTRS and ask them to 'reply to all' to say that they agree with the release. Jcb (talk) 16:33, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[]

After deleting this file (Commons:Deletion requests/File:Lenz Klára 00.jpg) the user uploaded this file to Hungarian Wikipédia: hu:Fájl:Lenz Klára 00.jpg. He claims that this photo was made in Venezuela after her emigrating to there, the end of the 1940s (see the article of en:Klára Lenz for details). She was born in 1924, so I think this statement is true. And if the photo was made in Venezuela, it is in public domain due the {{PD-Venezuela}}.

Pinging @BevinKacon, Gone Postal, Incnis Mrsi, Jcb, Slowking4 Pinging @Tm, Tuvalkin, Yann - Alexis Jazz ping plz 00:05, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[]
 Keep Comment This is totally unbelievable. Did Jcb even read the all DR and the undeniable proofs that this files were taken by the same photographer? Or again this is another speedy reading and speedy wrongfull closing. I´ve showned that the photographer was the one that took all this images and another 600/700 deleted before this DR by Yann. The quantity of images in use that were deleted. JCB sole reason to delete is "uploader has given convincing arguments why files from this Flickr stream cannot be trusted.". Well, i dont know about other uploaders, but i´ve shown that this images were correctly licensed, by the photographer and copyright holder. This is another example of someone not reading all arguments, as the ones pushing to deletion showed zero evidences of copyright violations, but i´ve shown irrefutable evidence that this files should be kept and the ones deleted by Yann should be also undeleted, after the closure of this DR. But it seems that evidences, proofs and links are of zero value, but only hearsay and unproven suspicious are of value. This is very, very sad. Tm (talk) 00:46, 5 December 2018 (UTC).[]

Some of the evidence, taken from JCB talkpage:

  • Now files are deleted without any proof? Yann didnt show a single image that was a copyright violation, only links with suspicions and nothing of evidence.
  • On the contrary i´ve shown that this photographer was the same. Need to read again some of the evidence? Dan Rocha, aka Dan Bowen, aka Dan Mullan/Pinnacle, is the same as the photographer "Lies thru a lens" or the Narratographer
  • This site http://liesthrualens.com was the website of Dan Rocha, aka Dan Bowen. The fact that this is the same photographer can be confirmed in the internet archive, where he says "Ive recently become a Getty Artist and have started licensing images through there".

Another proof that image File:WTF (8439080666).jpg, taken with a Nikon D3s, with metadata of authorship Dan Mullan/Pinnacle, is attributed to Dan Bowen Photography in https://www.gettyimages.pt/detail/foto/coming-at-you-imagem-royalty-free/167436138.

  • See all the archived pages in the Internet Archive and you will only see images taken by him, as he says several times.
  • Images, of the same person, in Getty Images and in Commons, with metadata
  • So as i´ve shown, by crossing this images with Getty Images is that Dan Mullan/Pinnacle is the same Dan Bowen Photography. As i´ve shown that the photographer in Getty is the same as in liesthrualens.com. If you see the url "Portfolio" in https://web.archive.org/web/20130902213017/http://liesthrualens.com:80/blog/?page_id=38, you will see that it links to http://ww1.danbowenphotography.com/.
  • Cameras
  • As i said before by Yann that said "have found at least a dozen different cameras, all high-end gears, and from different brands*Also why he used several cameras", dont you know that professional photographers change gear periodically, and as i said before he changed from cameras from time to time, always from medium ones to better ones.

Except for four images, one a family photo of 1914, three of Cameras (two where sourced from Sony with free licenses, and one from Nikon, albeit the three were without attribution), show in the first links of photographers sites were are the copyright violations. "Dan Bowen from Dalton, GA, USA (see also [9]" was an completly different style of shooting and models. https://www.instagram.com/danbo1946 and http://www.pictame.com/user/danbo1946/1259935847/1477806513251096546_1259935847 has zero images that were uploaded to Commons. The same with the websites of Daniel Rocha https://500px.com/monochromatique and https://www.flickr.com/photos/79376323@N03/ that has zero images.

So, why in the hell did you deleted this images? Where are the "convincing arguments (...) why files from this Flickr stream cannot be trusted. Unlike Yann that links to sites of photographers that have nothing to do with this photographer, claiming that the images come from there, but shows zero proofs of any copyright violation on that sites, i´vw shown that this files are properly licensed and by the author of the images. Tm (talk) 01:00, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[]

A link to the original source of all this clusterf*ck of happy triggers. Tm (talk) 01:44, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[]
      • And these two links were used to justify the deletion? You have the author, the same flickr user Dan Rocha, complaining of being stolen, and yet Commons deletes his images and accuses him of being the thieve?


      • The site http://liesthrualens.com was the website of Dan Rocha, aka Dan Bowen. The fact that this is the same photographer can be confirmed in the internet archive, where he says "Ive recently become a Getty Artist and have started licensing images through there". What images, the above

Dan". Tm (talk) 03:56, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[]

          • So an opinion of an Administrator is Golden Rule, but the opinions to the contrary of 8 regular users, as Alexis Jazz put it well, what me the uploader of a great part thinks, 3 other license reviewers besides me (Tuvalkin, Gone Postal, B) one file mover and GWToolset user (Slowking4) and extended uploaders+rollbackers (Alexis Jazz and Incnis Mrsi) also think.
          • My experience values zero, the original uploader of most of the material, and as someone that dealt with it for years and know it from the inside out, that has uploaded hundreds of thousands of files of hundreds of flcikr sources (museums, archives personal) and with a huge gamut of subjects, the experience and opinions of 3 other license reviewers, 2 uploaders+rollbackers and one file mover+GWToolset user values zero. Even the change of opinion of BevinKacon to keep this files, the one user that started this all deletion of files, values zero. But the opinion of 2 administrators, without any evidence of massive copyright violations, is the lsw, even if against the opinion of other 6 users and massive evidence provided to keep this files. 8 users with all the evidence to keep against 2 administrators with only their opinions to delete and than... i was delete because... because just yes, we can. Tm (talk) 23:43, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[]
            • You now say that you "find the reasoning that the 3 names are all the same person quite convoluted". Funny, but it seems that this has to be brought again. As you said in the DR, you used File:Shelby (8917502965).jpg and its metadata (EXIF: Author: Dan Mullan/Pinnacle; Copyright holder: PPAUK) as "proof" of massive copyright violations.
            • Aside that this is the first time that i see a mass copyright violator using always the same first name (and mind you i´ve uploaded hundreds of thousands of files from Flickr), interestingly you have forgotten to use the same criteria to show that all Dans are the same Dan.


            • Besides the fact that this three images were in Flickr in Dan Rocha stream, that they had full metadata, full resolution, you have the same person depicted in 3 cameras, in three different times almost three years apart.
            • But the nail in the coffin is the fact that Dan Rocha as The Narratographer gave an interview were he says the following " I uploaded it to Flickr and Getty Images signed it". Of what images is he talking? He is talking of the images of his friend Anthony, the person depicted in the five photos above. He has to say about it "Probably the images I used to take of my best friend, Anthony. He had this ability to make the stupidest faces I have ever seen and he was always the person who I tested my new camera’s/lenses out with. The last time I saw him, he pulled this ridiculous face and I managed to get a photograph of it. I uploaded it to Flickr and Getty Images signed it. It is now for sale across the world.". What image is he talking? He is talking of File:WTF (8439080666).jpg, as the text is right below this image. You have the same person (Anthony), "the person who I tested my new camera’s/lenses out with" (3 cameras), in 3 dates, 3 years apart. And remember that The Narratographer is the same as Lies Thru a Lens, as from at least January 10, 2016 www.liesthrualens.com redirected to thenarratographer.com.


@Yann: How is it convoluted? It seems pretty straight forward and indisputable that "Dan Bocha" and "Dan Bowen" are the same person. I'll try to lay it out very carefully and clearly:
  1. At https://keepsnap.com/blog/post/thenarratographer-photographer-interview, "The Narratographer" is interviewed about images that Getty identifies as being Dan Bowen's images, such as [14]
  2. This interview, which was on February 2, 2016, links to narratographer.com ... a link to the site as it existed at the time is available at archive.org - http://web.archive.org/web/20160204014528/http://www.narratographer.com/ - and if you scroll down to the bottom, all of the flickr links go to the "danrocha" user, aka "Lies Thru a Lens".
So either this was all a really big elaborate hoax - "Lies Thru a Lens" made up several websites solely to falsely take credit for Dan Bowen's work - or the more likely explanation is the simpler one - Dan Bowen was an amateur photographer who used an alias (Dan Rocha) for anonymity, then once he was discovered by Getty he decided to pull down all of the "free" copies of his work so that he could monetize it. --B (talk) 23:15, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[]

File:Stephanie Horne.jpg

The image that was deleted is the official portrait released by the Adkins-Horne campaign, to which Stephanie Horne is running as Lt. Governor. Not only has the campaign made it publically available (see: RockyForKy.com), media outlets have used it across Kentucky (see: https://www.kentucky.com/news/politics-government/article221588695.html). The deletion suggested that the photo was copyrighted because Stephanie Horne used the photo in her Twitter profile picture, that is ludicrous. Of course an elected official/candidate would use their publically available portrait as their profile picture, they want a cohesive image, which is why they would have no problem with Wikipedia using the same article.

@Spexer99: That's not how it works here and we are not a media outlet. In order to be here it must be under a copyright license that allows anyone to use or modify the image, at any time, and for any purpose (including commercial reuse). That image clearly was not under a license we accept and therefore it was a copyright violation. You claiming it was under cc-by-sa-4.0 was also a blatant lie. Please do not mislicense photographs. In order to be here we either need an explicit statement on a public website saying that the copyright holder, which is generally the photographer not the person in the photo, has released it under an acceptable license or the copyright holder needs to fill out the form located at COM:ET and send it into our OTRS team. As it stands, the image is simply not going to be restored. --Majora (talk) 03:44, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[]

Could it be undeleted and re-uploaded to the article please?

This photo is my work. I took it at Governor Olusegun Mimiko's inauguration in Febuary 2013. I was his official photographer from 2010 till date. I was a staff of the government at the time. A wikipedia user interested in Mimiko's profile (two of them in fact, one is a student in Ekpoma university and another a graduate student in Germany) notified us of the need to add photos to the governor's profile.

One of them had added the photo and it was removed because the reference to Flickr profile of the Mimiko Campaign Organisation was considered "not evidence of copyright ownership".

I, Sam Olusegun took the photo and I had added it to Wikipedia by myself. I have a whole gallery of photos to add to Wikipedia from Ondo State and about the governor. I wish to request that the photo is undeleted.

File:Nicholas van Hoogstraten in 1988.jpg

I think this file has a CC licence and should not have been deleted. I took the file "Marie Jahoda and Nicholas van Hoogstraten appearing on 'After Dark' with host Henry Kelly" in Category "After Dark", that was used in the article "Nicholas van Hoogstraten", and cropped the image to make it more specific about the subject. I then uploaded the cropped image file back into the same category, changed the file name, and then swapped it with the original file in the article about Nicholas van Hoogstraten. The original file noted its CC licence allowing unrestricted use, and I referred to that licence in the new file. I am, therefore, not sure why the newly created file has been deleted.
