Dear Michael or MGA73,

Please kindly review this quality image if you can. I got it licensed freely from a contact at flickr. I only upload quality images...and no porn junk. Kind Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 10:15, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Flickrbot malfunction

[edit]

Dear MGA73,

I don't know if you know who deals with the malfunctioning flickrbot. I think it is Stefan2 now. Goodnight, --Leoboudv (talk) 10:56, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Leoboudv: sadly I do not know who can restart the bot. I hope the notice will reach someone.
I have not followed up on the PDM files for some time. I hope most of the files are either deleted or "saved" by a DR. Did you have any time to follow up? --MGA73 (talk) 14:10, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment: Just for your records...This was added just to the message above to get the flickrbot working again.
  • ✓ Done. Thank you, Stemoc, the bot has been rebooted and is working now. // sikander

I knew It was a Stemoc who know works on this problem...just not Stemoc2. I had forgotten. As for the PDM files, I know some people have uploaded PDM files as cc0 as this category shows but the bot still does not allow PDM image uploads. Most of the old PDM images should be deleted or kept by now. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 19:08, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Leoboudv: I will add the new PDM files to a user category. Then we can see if there are any big categories that should be fixed with the bot. --MGA73 (talk) 19:39, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please review these images if you can

[edit]

Dear Michael,

Please kindly review these 2 images below when you can.

I managed to persuade Andreas on flickr to license the second image freely. Thank You for your time. I cannot use Andreas' image on wikipedia until it is reviewed, --Leoboudv (talk) 07:06, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Leoboudv: Done! Nice work getting the license changed. --MGA73 (talk) 13:30, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment: Dear Michael,

I sent you an Email. Can you please reply to it? Its about permission for this image: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Austroboletus_occidentalis_Watling_%26_N.M._Greg._by_Gerhard_Koller.jpg On the MO (mushroom observer) source, the image has a NC restriction but the copyright owner has tried to send permission through permission-commons@wikimedia.org and failed. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 18:48, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I was wondering, can I get the copyright owner to send me the license permission to me and then try to Email it to permission-commons@wikimedia.org Mr. Koller said he does not have his log in information to enter his Mushroom Observer account anymore. I had Emailed him through the Mushroom Observer Email system. Please send me an Email. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 18:58, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I answered your mail. But I just checked https://www.mycoportal.org/portal/collections/individual/index.php?occid=8012265 and it says "Usage Rights: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/". So do we need a mail? --MGA73 (talk) 19:21, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment: Dear Michael, Firstly, please check my new Email to you about Koller's CORRECTED Email address...which is actually suillellusadonis WITH TWO LL characters. Please send him a Wikimedia Email to this corrected address at gmail.com. Secondly, the mycoportal image links to Mushroom Observer (MO) here: https://mushroomobserver.org/images/189613 (I have signed in to the MO site) where Mr. Koller changed the license of his image to CC BY NC SA 3.0. on October 6, 2017. It has been this license since then to today. That is why an OTRS ticket is necessary from Mr. Koller. In reality, Mr. Koller changed the license on ALL his 20,533 mushroom images to CC BY NC SA 3.0. on October 6, 2017 at Mushroom Observer...after I checked his other images. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 08:11, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Leoboudv: I have send a new mail. I think the original mail he send to us failed because he tried to write to permission-commons instead of permissions-commons (missing the s in the end of permissions). --MGA73 (talk) 15:36, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiversity fair use files of Marshallsumter

[edit]

Hi Michael!

Please move all of my fair use files to the Keep category you mentioned in your note to me. A number of the resources and courses I created including Radiation astronomy have been moved to user space since I was blocked by Dave Braunschweig for repeat use of incapable copyright information. As you know USA copyright law and fair use law with case law are separate entities. Any fair use file that is used in a thumbnail has been transformed by the use of the thumbnail image to free use. I can indicate where you can confirm what I've written here in USA case law if you need it. Any EDP that abridges USA fair use law is actually illegal technically.

Cheers,

Henry A. Hoff, aka Marshallsumter - Marshallsumter (talk) 17:57, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Marshallsumter! Fair use is only allowed if there is a valid fair use rationale. For example v:File:Definitions-demotivator tomatoes.jpg. What prevented you or any one else in taking a photo of a tomato and make a similar file? Or v:File:Island of Corvo from Flores.jpg? It is not enought that you can't find a free file but you also have to make sure that we can't "... reasonably expect someone to upload a freely licensed file for the same purpose". If it only were a few files I'm sure someone would have been willing to spend the time going through the files but you uploaded so many files.
Moving all the files to the keep category would only make community ignore the category. --MGA73 (talk) 19:30, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again! You've missed the point of what I mentioned above. Our EDP's require "fair use is only allowed if there is a valid fair use rationale." USA fair use no longer does because it is a separate set of laws and case law from copyright law, after the case rulings of 2020 and 2021. Any file uploaded and used as a thumbnail has been transformed to a free use file by its display using a thumbnail. It's that simple. The uploaded file should also be displayed in a thumbnail if there's any concern that the uploaded file is an exact copy of a copyrighted file. There's no need to look for a free file by USA fair use law and case law! In fact, all transformed fair use files because they are now free use are allowable on Commons though popular opinion here or on Wikiversity is likely to disagree. If there are any of my files remaining that do not have a rationale from when they were uploaded I can supply one but as I mentioned if they are used in a thumbnail they have been transformed to free use or as mentioned here at the bottom of this page: "By saving changes, you agree to the Terms of Use, and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 license and the GFDL." --Marshallsumter (talk) 00:25, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Marshallsumter! Just because something is or might be legal it does not mean it is welcome on wikimedia projekts. Non-commercial licenses are legal but still they are not welcome. All wikimedia projekts have to follow wmf:Resolution:Licensing_policy. --MGA73 (talk) 07:12, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm familiar with all of the above and was in the process of making certain all of my fairuse images had a rationale. Dave's block may have prevented me from completing that review. Wikiversity's current EDP was modified by one user without consensus approval or even comment to what it is now. Implied consent does not apply. That individual no longer edits Wikiversity. But, Wikiversity was set up to allow fair use. Fair use does not involve the copyright holder since 2021. I can't stop you from deleting my images and WMF legal is aware that currently transformed copyrighted or presumed copyrighted images are free use. Fair use images transformed by the use of thumbnails are free use but are not welcome because of overly restrictive EDPs which actually violate wmf:Resolution:Licensing_policy goal of free use for all images, even copyrighted ones. The problem on Wikiversity to which we agree is USA free use images are legal "but still they are not welcome." These same images are also legally free to be on Commons "but still they are not welcome." This latter viewpoint is also against the goal of the wmf:Resolution:Licensing_policy. Your personal point of view is of course up to you. Cheers! --Marshallsumter (talk) 16:37, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Marshallsumter! Personally I think it would be much easier if there was a place like Commons for all fair use files. It does seem like extra work that every wiki have to make sure a photo qualify as fair use. And some wikis do allow pretty much everything. Even if fair use is allowed there is no rule saying that all wikiprojects have to allow fair use. I think fair use works best for the big wikis because there are many active users that can help monitor. --MGA73 (talk) 18:38, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
