An accurate quotation from the email in the VRT system? - (ticket:2020112910005534)

[edit]

Is the text located under this file license an accurate quotation from the email in the VRT system?

  • Ticket Number = 2020112910005534

Is this quotation in French accurate (see below):

  • « Il me faut vous indiquer que nos archives de 1934 à 1991 sont désormais propriété du Ministère de la Culture, conservées par une entité appelée Médiathèque de l'architecture et du patrimoine et diffusées par l'agence photographique RMN-Grand Palais. Ce fonds photographique n'est pas soumis à un droit patrimonial donc quiconque possède un portrait de l'époque 1934-1991 peut l'utiliser librement et vous pouvez réutiliser un portrait trouvé sur internet. »

Agnes BROUARD Chargée de la valorisation des collections Studio Harcourt Paris'

Translation to English (see below):

  • "I must inform you that our archives from 1934 to 1991 are now owned by the Ministry of Culture, kept by an entity called Médiathèque de l'architecture et du patrimoine and disseminated by the photographic agency RMN-Grand Palais. This photographic collection is not subject to a property right so anyone who has a portrait of the 1934-1991 period can use it freely and you can reuse a portrait found on the internet. ”

Thank you for verifying this possible VRT text, -- Ooligan (talk) 15:52, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mussklprozz: as the original VRT agent who can probably translate the French text more accurately than me. —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - uselesscontributions} 18:56, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, @Matrix for pinging @Mussklprozz related to this French VRT Ticket question. Best Regards, -- Ooligan (talk) 19:29, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Matrix, @Ooligan: IMO the translation is correct. Mussklprozz (talk) 19:37, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, the phrasing vous pouvez réutiliser un portrait trouvé sur internet is ambiguous, as well as its English translation above. Literally, it could mean: You can reuse a portrait which you found on the internet, which is obvious nonsense. the only sensible interpretation is you can reuse on the internet any portrait which you found (in the collection). Mussklprozz (talk) 19:46, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mussklprozz: What is the conclusion? Are you going to reopen the ticket? --Krd 02:25, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mussklprozz, @Krd and @Matrix- If reopening the ticket helps to clarify as Mussklprozz wrote, "the only sensible interpretation is you can reuse on the internet any portrait which you found (in the collection)." This fresh interpretation of the French translation may have some bearing on the disscussion here: Commons:Village pump/Copyright#Studio Harcourt (PD before 1992). Pinging @Tisourcier Par courtoisie s'il vous plaît. Respectfully, -- Ooligan (talk) 03:24, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Krd, @Matrix, @Ooligan: If you think that my faith towards the client was inappropriate, I can write them again. Allow me for two weeks do so, since I am away the next two weeks (in France in deed). I have re-opened the ticket and put it on hold until Sept. 29. Mussklprozz (talk) 08:31, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Augusto Pinochet photography ticket:2015042310003016

[edit]

EN I'm looking for some more info about an image of Augusto Pinochet, chilean dictator. The page mentions that there's a ticket (#2015042310003016) confirming permission from the copyright holder (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Chile). Can I have access to this ticket or see what are the details on the permissions?

Ok thanks. I'd like to know if i can use this image for an international film production (commercial use), and if there is any details about that on the ticket. I just want to make sure! Thank you Cparra92 (talk) 17:14, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is some approval by the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de Chile. If you need to have at yourself, please try to contact the Ministerio directly. Krd 11:48, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Supercell image licensing" ticket:2024091210003725

Hi -- the email thread following the above ticket number concludes with the photographer saying "I do not wish to give up my rights to this photo. Please do not use it." (timestamp Thu, 12 Sep 2024 13:18:59 -0500)

Can someone please confirm those words in their email? --Rlandmann (talk) 00:02, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What is the background of the question, why do you need that to be confirmed? Krd 02:18, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:সিরিয়ার দেবশিশু ০১.jpg & File:CUET Canteen 3 graffiti 01.jpg

[edit]

Hello! An email regarding the permission from the original author of the subject (graffiti) of these two files File:CUET Canteen 3 graffiti 01.jpg & File:সিরিয়ার দেবশিশু ০১.jpg were submitted to the VRTS. [1] However, it was declined stating "the message was not sufficient". What can I do further to establish the permission from the original author? — Meghmollar2017 • Talk • 18:41, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

PS. I have reached up the original author of the files via this link: [2]. I think there should be a way to release the files under proper licence from them. — Meghmollar2017 • Talk • 18:54, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MOVED from Commons talk:Volunteer Response Team, clearly the wrong place. - Jmabel ! talk 15:16, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
por favor reintegrar mis fotos borradas, sonde mi autoría. mi dispositivo multiplexor y su sistema de grabado de imágenes por medio de 5 cámaras especiales desarrolladas en mi laboratorio son de alta velocidad. solo graban videos. por eso tome una captura en momentos específicos que pueden graficar estados reales de la composición de la luz. puedo poner a disposición un enlace a mi OneDrive para que comprueben que esas imágenes son mías - https://1drv.ms/v/c/0394aa8157382055/EauaGYkt00NMtKC3iOtF5_8Bmp61FFx8SqsuYi9PYGJP-A Akayser1 (talk) 21:42, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
END MOVED Jmabel ! talk 15:16, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I'm not a VRT member, I'm a admin trying to help sort this out. I'm not certain this is a VRT issue at all, but I wanted it to be in a place where someone relevant might see it.
Quick translation of the above into English; his style is a bit telegraphic, but I'm pretty sure I've understood correctly: "Please restore my erased photos, they are [sonde => son de] of my authorship. My multiplexer device and its image recording system by means of five special cameras, developed in my laboratory, are high-velocity. They only record videos. Because of this, one takes a screenshot in specific moments that can graph real states of light composition. I can put at [your] disposition a link to my OneDrive to prove the images are mine."
Offhand, it sounds to me like this isn't about any existing ticket. Perhaps what needs to happen is for him to send confidential email to the usual VRT address for Spanish, containing that link to his OneDrive? Or does this need something else to happen? It looks like the deleted files were:
I didn't look at all the histories, so some might be different, but typically Omphalographer marked as possible copyright violation because "These are all obviously screenshots of a video, not own work," and WdWd deleted. It does look likely to me that these could be legitimate, and that the uploader could be the videographer.
Please feel free to ping me if help is needed from a general admin rather than a VRT member. - Jmabel ! talk 15:38, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Exacto! Muchas Gracias Akayser1 (talk) 16:44, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Entiendo que las fotos son de tu autoría, y que son capturas de videos. Lo que no me queda claro es qué es Kayser-Cuantum C ni quién creó las imágenes del video. --Ganímedes (talk) 10:28, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Kayser cuantum C en el nombre de fantasía que he hecho para rotular el trabajo de investigacion generando imágenes reales. No son resultados de simulación por ordenador. En estas imagenes a mi parecer el foton copia ell recorido entre las dos orbitas del electron que lo genera. Asi su forma es algo similar a una C mayúscula. Por eso en vez de llamar quantum lo llamo Cuantum C. El experimento que realizó con el multiplexor me deja ver a mi parecer que los fotones no son ondas. Sino lo que dijo planck paquetes individuales de energía. Una especie de partícula individual de energía. Que tiene segun mi parecer al ver los videos, de ensamblarce unas a otras cercanas y en determinados momentos hacer cadenas que han confundido a muchos a creer que es una onda. El patron mal llamado de interferencias. No lo provoca cancelación por enfrentamiento de Fase. El patron observado es un espectro de intermodulacion. Que si pudiera subir un video se podría comprender mejor mi teoría.

@Omphalographer and WdWd: Not sure if either of you read Spanish; if not, and if Google Translate isn't enough, I can translate more. It sure sounds to me like this really is the person who created these, even though a video was involved as an intermediate step in his process from his lab equipment to still images. Would you be willing to simply undelete, and if not what sort of evidence would you want? - Jmabel ! talk 20:07, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, is this ticket applicable on these files as well?

If so, can any VRT agent update the licenses on the files, because they are obviously too complex for PD-textlogo. Jonteemil (talk) 18:07, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is an invalid ticket number. Where have you got it from? Krd 05:16, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonteemil, This is not how it works. Just ask the copyright holder to send permission via email by mentioning these files name or links. –TANBIRUZZAMAN (💬) 00:43, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Tanbiruzzaman: But if the files above are derivative works of the files within the scope of the ticket, that don't add anything that on its own is copyrightable, then the ticket should be applicable on the files above as well, no?Jonteemil (talk) 12:43, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Afaics, the ticket was approved by all files mentioned in it: File:08 Tessa Stammberger.jpg, File:23 Aliaksandra Tarasava.jpg, File:06 Finja Schaake.jpg, File:TKH-Team 2021-2022.jpg and File:TK Hannover Luchse.jpg, but I'm unsure why the last image was left without the permission tag. The permissions were approved by RacoonyRE who doesn't seem to be active now. Regards, Aafi (talk) 17:01, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Krd, could you take a look at the ticket, since it is in German and give an opinion if my idea of restoring this specific file per ticket is okay? Regards, Aafi (talk) 17:21, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The ticket doesn't affect any of the files mentioned here. --Krd 17:48, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Krd, I was specifically asking about File:TK_Hannover_Luchse.jpg, which seems to be there, the last one - (»08_Tessa_Stammberger.jpg«, »23_Aliaksandra_Tarasava.jpg«, »06_Finja_Schaake.jpg«, »TKH-Team_2021-2022.jpg«, »TK_Hannover_Luchse.jpg«). File:Logo TK Hannover Luchse.jpg is a duplicate of the same. Regards, Aafi (talk) 18:03, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
File:TK Hannover Luchse.jpg is now restored as requested. Is the duplicate also needed? Regarding the team poster we need additional permission for the photo of the players. Krd 06:20, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello, I have a question regarding the photo mentioned in the title. I was surprised to find out that the photo was deleted on 29 June 2024 due to "no permission". I don't frequent Commons that much (sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place), so as an author of that photo I don't exactly understand what "no permission" is... I didn't receive a notification about the file, same with any e-mail, could someone elaborate on what exactly was wrong? @Aafi? Kuracyja (talk) 23:49, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was tagged as no-permission by Cybularny on 21 June. I'm unsure why you didn't receive a notification. I'd be glad to restore it for another week to assist permissions. Regards, Aafi (talk) 03:57, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's hard to see what "no permission" means here. This was claimed as "own work", and had been on Commons for several years. I will restore, and start a proper DR where this can be discussed. - Jmabel ! talk 06:52, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Copyrighted Photo Usage on Wikipedia"

[edit]

Hi VRT -- permissions-commons was CCed on an email to me with the above subject line by a photographer. (Timestamp: Wed, 18 Sep 2024 20:10:37 -0500)

In it, they specifically referred to an image on English Wikipedia, which JJMC89 (talk · contribs) took down, but the bigger context was an image that's hosted here on Commons: File:A tornado south of Hinckley, Illinois on February 27, 2024.jpg

I'd originally reached out to this photographer to verify the Uploader's belief that this was a Public Domain image (ticket:2024091610007894), but they replied in a new thread and so will have a new ticket number.

Could someone please add that ticket number to the Deletion Request that's been open for a few days? (And/or action the request)? The wording in the email is pretty strong. --Rlandmann (talk) 05:33, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
