Someone's Review Request

Dear Christian,

Can you verify if this Youtube video was once free on Internet Archive in February 2020 as I cannot. I got this message below. Maybe you have better luck.

"Would very much appreciate license reviews for the following three files (especially the Grande picture, her current Wikipedia lede photo is awful):

• File:Ariana Grande Grammys Red Carpet 2020.png
• File:200126 Dua Lipa on the 2020 Grammys Red Carpet.jpg
• File:200126 Lizzo on the 2020 Grammys Red Carpet.png"

DanielleTH ^{(Say hi!)} 02:17, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 06:53, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

• The text-only cache show indeed a compatible license, but I'm not sure if {{LicenseReview}} is done for this kind of case. I have asked in Commons:Village pump/Copyright. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 19:58, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

•  Comment: I decided to reluctantly review 2 of the 3 images except the one you mentioned on Village Pump after the uploader sent me this message. "Here's Google's cache of the page, if that helps." DanielleTH ^{(Say hi!)} 20:33, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
• The link seems different but the license is CC BY 3.0...and the video time is also 3:16 minutes. Hmm! --Leoboudv (talk) 20:50, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
• As per the comments made in the Village Pump, I am reluctant to use {{LicenseReview}} for that kind of case. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 17:40, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Possible copyright violation

Hi Christian. It seems that the latest two versions of this file are not free and need to be deleted. However, I don't know how to nominate only those two versions for deletion without nominating the original version. I'd be glad if you help me with this. Thank you. Keivan.f^Talk 18:57, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

•  Done Hi, I deleted the two versions. In such case you can ask to an administrator, as you did, or you can start a regular deletion request with the rationale you have quoted above. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 19:15, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
