File:Brednäbbad simsnäppa-(Phalaropus-fulicarius) Ystad-2009.ogg

Hi, you removed this file and CommonsDelinker removed the references to it. I guess it was a bit too speedy because CommonsDelinker hadn't processed the file move yet. Could you undo it? bdijkstra (overleg) 13:38, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

It seems CommonsDelinker processed the file. It can take some time, but it will do the job once it is scheduled. Yann (talk) 14:48, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

The problem is that CommonsDelinker processed the removal before it could process the move. bdijkstra (overleg) 10:39, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

I won't contest the restoration, but what is our evidence this was published in 1930 rather than 1935-1937? Abzeronow (talk) 18:50, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

We could agree about "published between 1930-1936", it doesn't change the copyright status. Yann (talk) 19:14, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Undeletion of *post-Steamboat-Willie* Mickey Mouse appearance

Hi Yann; I have closely followed the news on Mickey Mouse as the character appeared in Steamboat Willie becoming public domain in the US (though not in Europe, as, for example, Germany, France, and Switzerland have treaties with the US that grant the work protection of 70 years pma, which is 2042 for Ub Iwerks - but this doesn't matter for a US work on Commons, of course). It's great that we can now host images of Mickey Mouse in the original appearance of the character. However, I have also read that this only applies to the very first, more "rat-like" design of Mickey Mouse (without gloves) yet; that is, an article for example explicitly stated that it doesn't apply to the later, more rounded design of Mickey Mouse with white gloves. So I wouldn't have undeleted File:Walt Disney and his cartoon creation "Mickey Mouse" - National Board of Review Magazine.jpg, as this is clearly not the Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse but a later design - that will probably become public domain in two or three years, too, but I think it's too early now. Gestumblindi (talk) 19:46, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi, There are more publications of Mickey in 1928 than the movie. See File:Mickey Mouse Color Stock Poster (Celebrity Productions era, 1928).jpg. Yann (talk) 19:48, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

If this poster was really published in 1928, then I "rest my case" and am satisfied - but then I still find it curious that others explicitly say that only the original version of Mickey Mouse without gloves has become public domain, for example here (in German, "Einerseits betrifft das abgelaufene Copyright nur die alte Version von Micky Maus, die beispielsweise keine Handschuhe trägt")... Gestumblindi (talk) 19:52, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

There is no doubt about the publication date. See also the DR, where it was extensively discussed: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Mickey Mouse Color Stock Poster (Celebrity Productions era, 1928).jpg. The irony is that, since there is no copyright notice in this poster, this appearance of Mickey is probably in the public domain since 1928. But the point is moot now... Yann (talk) 19:54, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, this is really interesting information, I will pass it on to German-language's Wikipedia community where we also have a discussion about Mickey Mouse (more of a theoretical one, as we will not use these images for German-language Wikipedia due to the 70 years pma protection in German-language countries).

Validité des droits pour une photo d'Anouchka Delon ?

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2017_Anouchka_DELON_-5834.jpg

Bonjour Yann,

J'espère ton début d'année se déroule comme tu veux. ;)

La photo d'anouchka Delon sur Commons semble n'avoir aucun ticket de validité de la part de la véritable photographe professionnelle (Christine Ledroit-Perrin) qui affiche pourtant bien son copyright, sur le cliché d'origine mais qui n'est pourtant jamais cité (recadré dans la page). Qu'en penses-tu ? Tisourcier (talk) 16:30, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

 Done En effet. Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Anouchka Delon. Yann (talk) 16:39, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Please remove old version of file (copyright)

Hi Yann,

Can you please remove the old version of File:The Kid scenes.ogv? It has an audio track that should not be there. The video is fine, so I replaced it with an audio-less version.

I will very shortly upload a frame-for-frame replacement for this clip, from a new (much better) transfer of the movie, which I'm currently uploading (waiting for a server-side upload for the full version, since it's almost 4GiB, but no problem with uploading a short clip using the chunked uploader, I presume).

Thanks!

D. Benjamin Miller (talk) 22:37, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

File:Gulkana_Glacier.jpg

Hi, Yann - please see where the original discussion challenging the id of one of my images was taking place (see my last edit on that page). I shot the image during a trip to Alaska to visit friends who live there, and they told me it was Castner Glacier. While still the challenge is still in discussion, a retired Commons editor came in and made a rename move from File:Castner Glacier.jpg to File:Gulkana_Glacier.jpg before I was able to gather verifiable information confirming the glacier's identification. My image was used here, and in a few articles. The editor challenging the identification provided links to photographs by various photogs, one of which the photog themselves stated they were not sure their image was of Gulkana. "I could be mistaken, this could be Canwell Glacier, also in this general area." In summary, none of what the challenger provided is conclusive evidence as to the ID of the glacier. This image has a lake in front of it, and I never saw that lake during my visit. Can you please look into this? If it turns out that I was misinformed by my Alaskan friends who were kind enough to take us on a guided tour to that location during our travel to Valdez to go fishing, I will take the proper steps to correct the error. I just do not think it's right for it to be moved before I have had an opportunity to confirm and provide verifiable information (there are no GPS coordinates in any of the challenger's evidence). Thx in advance! ^Atsme _Talk 📧 20:58, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

@Atsme: Hi,

I am sorry, but I am of little help here. I don't know that place, and I have never been to Alaska, so I can't who is right, or who isn't. There may be people on Commons who know that place. Please ask on COM:VP. Regards, Yann (talk) 21:53, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

It doesn't matter if you know it, Yann. What matters is that someone moved the file without permission while a discussion is still ongoing, and that was inappropriate. ^Atsme _Talk 📧 22:08, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

@Atsme: OK, may be. But what do you want now? It seems to me that renaming it back now isn't the right way to solve this issue. This would be the start of an edit-war. The only way I see is a confirmation of that place. Then it can be renamed. Regards, Yann (talk) 22:13, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Hmmm... so I can challenge any image on Commons that I think is misnamed - one that has been in the same place for 8+ years - move it to where I think it should be with no verifiable proof beyond what a other photographers say (their word only), ignore the ones who say differently, and an admin cannot move it back? I will keep that in mind for future reference. Oh, and they are the ones who have been edit warring. ^Atsme _Talk 📧 22:30, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

@Atsme: I don't understand why you are angry after me. They should have got your permission before editing and renaming the image, but Pierre Selim seems to agree with Ron Clausen, and it is true that the images on Flickr labelled as "Gulkana Glacier" are very similar. This may not be a definite proof, but these are reasons to question the name of the place. Regards, Yann (talk) 08:50, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

I really think it's unfortunate to have renamed the file before the discussion is settled (no matter what is my opinion on the topic). I should have declined the rename request when I could, another user proceed with the renaming :(

I think looking for a wider audience on the topic still matters, we want to provide accurate information, Maybe VP or a wiki project where people are knowledgeable about this place. PierreSelim (talk) 12:11, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, PierreSelim. Yann, I could never be angry with you. We go back too many years for that to happen. Admittedly, I was a little frustrated over the impatience of others, and probably more frustrated with myself for not taking better care of my original image files, including the cell phone images that have the GPS coordinates. I'm also reminded of the old adage...Thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken. 🤗 ^Atsme _Talk 📧 16:24, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

File:Hana-Vymazalova.jpg

Dear Admin Yann F,

A user uploaded this image but from the given source, the text was derived from wikipedia from a free license and no information on copyright is given about the image. The uploader seems to have uploaded quite a few copy vios. The youtube video from the source is not free. If you think the image is not free, please feel free to file a DR. The problem is from a google image search, the image appears to have originated from the source, but the source does not say if it is a free image.

By the way, Happy New Year for 2024. Kind Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 23:42, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I deleted this one, and a few more, started Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Andreas.stockhausen‎, and warned this user. Thanks for reporting. Yann (talk) 09:12, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
