I see many Euro coins being uploaded here. This one isn't my normal upload. But even though there are many pages explaining copyright of stamps, where is the description for coins? Gone Postal (talk) 10:54, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Ok, I see that you chose to just delete it rather than bothering to talk to me. Fine. Whatever. Gone Postal (talk) 10:42, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Kenya stamps

Please be more careful when choosing the copyright templates for Kenya stamps. You need to refer to Commons:Stamps/Public domain#Kenya where you see that {{PD-UKGov}} is the correct one to use for the 1963 stamps. Even though they issued stamps in 1963, their copyright act did not come into effect until 1966. BTW, I doubt it was really necessary to create two individual year categories when there are just 16 stamps uploaded. They could easily all be in Category:Stamps of Kenya without it being overpopulated. Thanks Ww2censor (talk) 10:16, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

There are a couple of things: Firstly, I am actually the one who is mostly responsible for writing Commons:Stamps/Public domain#Kenya (if you check history you'll see that). I did spend a lot of time trying to figure out all the intricacies, and thought that I did. I guess I was mistaken. In either case these are public domain images. As for the categories, maybe I should have created a gallery or something, but I wanted to make it easier to find the stamps by the year of publication; sorry if I made a choice that wasn't exactly perfect. I mostly uploaded Russian stamps before that, and I simply copied the structure. I intend to continue expanding stamps of Kenya uploads in the future, if you feel strongly about that, please start a discussion about the two created categories, I am going to do whatever is the community consensus. Be well and happy. Gone Postal (talk) 11:09, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

@Ww2censor I thought about it a little more, some things just seem strange, if you could please comment here: Commons talk:Stamps/Public domain#Kenyan independence, transitional period 15:50, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

I've responded to your transitional period post, but some of what I responded there applies here too. Well I'm sorry I did not check to see who had made the Kenya entry but with a detailed history check now see that it was you. Yeah, for some countries it takes some effort to find the appropriate copyright details we should use but thanks for doing the work. Basically the entry is correct though I would dispute the commencement date which according to The Copyright Act, 1966 was enacted on 1 April 1966, so the December 1965 date seems wrong. We should probably amend the dates. Whether such stamps are public domain under either copyright law is, however, not the point; we really should use the correct copyright template and that's all I was trying to suggest. Regarding the year categories, I've no issue if you are going to populated them but for just a few stamps it would not be worth having them. BTW, if properly categorised, I see most every philatelic related image that gets posted to a recent uploads page by the month. I noticed your recent Kenya stamp uploads in the May 2018 page and you are welcome to add any/all/current pages to your watchlist if interested. Thanks for all your images.

Tread carefully

"I see a lot of deletion closures on that day by Jcb, all of them appear to completely ignore the arguments (note: I am not talking about the votes, I do know that it is not a job of the admin to tally them up, but rather to look at the points raised). I do not have a desire to go through and look at all of those deletion requests, but I think that somebody should, there're more than just this one that should probably be reverted. This is not a good way to fight the backlog."

Do you know what you're treading on? - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 07:20, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

Town hall media

Thanks for expressing interest in my idea of making voter-politician engagements accessible on the commons. I did not get any responses to my follow up at the copyright discussion pump, so I thought I would talk to you here.

The general idea is to upload audio, video and transcripts of town hall activity by US politicians. These events are not copyright-able because they are not fixed. Furthermore, when conducted by a Federal-level politician, they appear to be automatically in the public domain.

However, what does this mean for a recording of such an event? It seems clear that when the politician's staff makes the recording and releases it, the relevant file is in the public domain. There are many examples of such files labeled as such within the commons, here is one which is an address rather than a town hall: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2016-01-30_President_Obama%27s_Weekly_Address.webm. Basically, somebody has 'mirrored' the file onto the Commons. The 'Source' link is still good.

I have a similar file which I want to mirror/archive in the Commons, the only difference is that the politician is in the legislative branch not executive (still public domain) and that the Source link goes to an announcement which is still there but the download link is no longer good. I believe I can essentially copy the format of the linked page (Obama's address), with the license reading legislative instead of executive, and with the source link pointing to where I downloaded the file. The source link will show that the file was publicly released.

Question 1: Is this analogy between my case and the Obama address correct? So when I upload I tick that it is in the public domain?

Many politicians do not release recordings of their town hall events. I have two questions regarding licensing issues of a recording made by a participant since ownership comes into play.

Question 2: If I make the recording, can I simply upload it as my work?

Question 3: If another person makes the recording and gives me permission to publish it, what is the correct procedure to upload it? State that it is published under a CC license? I ask because getting participants in my town hall project to do the uploading is asking them to do additional work.

Finally, US state level politicians are not subject to the law which makes their work automatically public domain. Their town halls are still not be copyright-able.

Question 4: How does this change things for the three categories above: 1) politician-released recording, 2) my personal recording, 3) a participant recording I have permission to publish?

I am a total Wiki noob, so please take that into consideration when you reply. Dennis.the.Anarcho-syndicalist (talk) 17:20, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

@Dennis.the.Anarcho-syndicalist:

• Answer 1: As I understand the US copyright law, when the federal government official of any branch makes a statement as a part of their official duties (i.e. not as a private individual talking about their dislike for some pizza or somesuch) then it is in public domain. As such I believe that you are correct.
• Answer 1b: It depends on how much creativity was used when making a recording. If somebody has placed an automated recording device, akin to a CCTV camera, then we could argue that it did not add any copyright. But if a person did anything creative, even if it is something simple, like turning a microphone towards a person that is speaking at the moment, then it would probably be copyrighted by that individual. Of course, if the participant is also a federal employee, then you are once again ok.
• Answer 2: Yes. However, I would advise that you state then edit the description of the page and add {{PD-USGov}} to the permission section, to make sure that it is clear that the original speech is not covered by copyright.
• Answer 3: That is a bit difficult. I have had some files given to me with the permission to publish, and so far I have declined that offer because it is difficult and time consuming. You will have to follow COM:OTRS to ensure that there is a record of that permission. Take a look at that page. Make absolutly sure that there is {{Otrs-pending}} template on the file page when you upload.
• Answer 3b: State level is strange, and you would have to go and read the applicable laws or talk to somebody more knowlegeable than I am.
• Answer 4: 1) Public domain recording of a public domain speech (if federal), you are fine 2) Your recording of a public domain speech (if federal), make sure to release it under an appropriate licence, see COM:L 3) COM:OTRS unless they are federal employee performing their duties at the time of recording, then same as 1.

Now, you say that there is a recording, where you do not have a link to the downloadable file any longer, but still have an announcement. Can you please give me a link to that announcement, I will take a look if I would be able to review the file based on that. ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 15:02, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for replying, you've answered my questions for the time being. My question 4 was asking how State-level positions change things, it was poorly written. Yes, one would have to look at each state. CA I noticed has great transparency policies, other states I would expect the opposite.

• https://www.facebook.com/TeamGT/posts/1487109088022086 is a link to an announcement that an archive of a town hall has been posted to SoundCloud. Note that the Facebook Group is a campaign organization ("TeamGT"), not the 'official' Facebook Group of the politician.

• There has been legal precedent for work of a federal politician to be ruled not part of his duties, the politician had written and given a speech to a private group. Hard to see how a public town hall meeting would not be considered as part of official duties. It seems like the politician's staff is trying to do this, however.

• I've DMed the TeamGT group to ask that they refresh the link or alternatively give me permission to upload a recording to the Commons, they've ignored me so far.

• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2017-03-07_Glenn_Thompson_Telephone_Town_Hall_Meeting.oga is a link to a participant recording which I uploaded when I thought I wasn't going to get input from anybody beforehand, thoughts?

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at Wikimedia Commons.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Help for linking photographs categories

Moin Moin Gone Postal, like we say in old nordish Germany, you did some changes for a template in many categories for photographs (like here). Now I have the following problem: I edit the following category (this category), which has now increased by several thousand entries. Would you please help to link the categories in Wikidata so that the maintenance category empties itself again? Regards --Crazy1880 (talk) 18:55, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

• @Crazy1880: Hi, I was unaware of that maintenance category. Time permitting I will do something to help you out, after all the goal is to make sure that the media is easier to find. ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 18:58, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
  • @Crazy1880:. One thing though. Do you have any hints on what is the best practice. Should I create entries for "date photographs in country"? Do I link to something that is already existing? Is there something I need to make sure not to break? ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 19:02, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

First of all, thank you very much. Secondly, yes, you should first check if there are already entries in Wikidata and then link these pages together. If there is no entry in Wikidata, a new object should be created. This should then get the value "Wikimedia-category" at P31. Regards --Crazy1880 (talk) 19:24, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

• @Crazy1880: Please take a moment to look at what I have done at Category:September 2019 Myanmar photographs, I think that I have done everything correctly. Unfortunately I must let you know that most likely I will generate significantly more unconnected categories, than I will connect myself. Something like this should really be done automatically, especially since we Wikidata admins will not delete the instance just because there happen to be no files currently within the instance. ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 11:01, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

I have extended your entry at Wikidata once. Important is just: P31=Wikimedia-category. You could automate something, can you tell me if there are already many entries in Wikidata for your categories? Then I can see what I can do. (Even though I'm not an admin at Wikidata.) Regards --Crazy1880 (talk) 19:45, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

@Crazy1880: First of all, please be careful linking Ireland, I believe there is currently a mistake in the naming of their categories. Secondly, I am a little concerned with this Wikidata approach, that the concept of a photograph taken on a specific date in a country is just a "Commons category". This precludes it from being a subclass or a superclass (or at least I couldn't figure out how to do that). Also I thought of automating the process, since the concept doesn't need Commons category, but since you are saying that it does, then there is no way to automate it (or at least it will be much harder, and require checking if the category actually exists). ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 19:43, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

1. no problem, I'll have a look on it.
2. I do not know the actual project that is being pursued here.
3. If a page/category is created here and additionally equipped with the Infobox Wikidata, then a link to Wikidata should also be created. Yes, on Wikidata there is no specialization in categories only from commons, these are all called "Wikimedia-Category" on P31. If subclasses are set, this does not cause any problems. But the value P31 on Wikidata should be filled accordingly, as a minimum.
4. Apart from that I am also willing to be initiated into the project and to help with words and deeds.

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on Commons must be under a free license and should be useful to the Wikimedia projects. To allow others to use your files, some additional information must be given on the description page. Most importantly:

• Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
• State the author and the date of creation. If you made it yourself, say so explicitly. If it is from another Wikimedia user, link to the person's local user page. Best to use CommonsHelper.
• If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
• Add a copyright tag - images without an appropriate license tag will be deleted.
• Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate categories, so it can be found by others. To find out where an image belongs, you can use CommonsSense.

If you copied the file from another wiki, please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki. Use CommonsHelper.

It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.

You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file.

Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted. For more information, follow the Commons:First steps guide. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the Help desk.

Thank you.

This means that different people will be adding categories to the media that you may chose to upload, that is a good thing, in fact you can help out by adding media to needed categories. The particular category that you have asked me about is what's called a 'maintenance category' it is not meant to be present forever. In fact, I have now gone and moved it into an appropriate video resolution category. If you were to open up a page that deals with Category:Videos needing display resolution category, you would see at the top description what it is suppose to be for. Thanks again for your contributions. ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 16:26, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

• Unfortunately there is no description. Also not in Category:Video display resolution 1920 x 1080. Otherwise I wouldn't ask you. I could only imagine what are these there for. Because when click on the video it plays a small (360P) but not the highest resolution what people expect. Are these categories made to to change it? --Hockei (talk) 16:41, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

• @Hockei: No, the categories are there to make maintenance easier. The video that gets played depends on the player. You can click on the resolution below the video and open the actual file, in most browsers it will actually play the file in the resolution you have selected. But that is a good question, why is the default so small for contemporary internet. 17:07, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

FoP

I've really no clue why do you put {{FoP-Russia}} on any of your upload, e.g. this one. Could you please explain? --A.Savin 13:07, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

• Hello. I am very happy to explain. Firstly, it is a matter of caution; I have taken a photograph of something, which I have not created, and it was outside, something else may have come into the focus of my photograph and I would not want to fear that the file will be deleted due to some copyright violation just because some admin does not want to figure something out without templates telling them that (it has happened to me on several ocasions). Secondly, it is to separate two different potential copyrights: my own and individuals/organisations designing buildings and postal boxes that I photograph; in the case of this post box I believe that {{PD-ineligible}} may also apply quite well, since nothing else is present in the photo, I will probably change it for this file since I agree that it is a better template. Thirdly, I believe that there is a problem with the current setup of the description pages of files, you say that you have no clue why I put a well known template on the file, and I cannot blame you, it is really unclear; I have started structuring the copyright description a little differently on my newer uploads, hopefully other users (and you as well) will be able to get a clue what is meant. ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 13:56, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

  You add this template without pre-selection because you believe your files to be safer from deletion then; however should FoP be abolished in Russia again (which hopefully never happens, but in Putin's Russia nothing is impossible, alas), you will reach exactly the opposite. --A.Savin 19:58, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

  In a sense it is possible in any country. We saw what took place with the whole copyright restoration in the States. But that is what I am talking about here, current templates are incorrect. You should have: Separate templates for my copyright and for underlying copyright; and Fall-back templates (i.e. saying Freedom of Panorama applies, if that doesn't apply then it is still PD as a utilitarian object, if it is determined not to be utilitarian object, then it is PD-simple, if not that, then copyright violation). ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 06:25, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
