Thanks for uploading File:Runrig concert, Inverness, Aug 2012.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own).
The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Runrig concert, Inverness, Aug 2012.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.
Thanks for uploading File:Ludak poster in the 1938 elections.png. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.
Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.
@JuTa: Can you be more clear what your issue with this image is? It's a two dimensional work, so the photographer doesn't have an independent copyright, and it was an election poster posted publicly in Slovakia, hence it should be PD under Slovak copyright law {{FoP-Slovakia}}. Thanks, Catrìona (talk) 07:23, 9 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
Hi, {{FoP-Slovakia}} isnt a license template. And I guess it doesnt apply here if you copied it out of a book or similar. It would only apply if this is permanently visible on a public street or similar. A poster is normaly not counted as permanetly visible. You need to find a suitable license within Commons:Copyright tags for it. (If there is one) regards --JuTa07:28, 9 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

You have suggested deletion of Rudolfwiki2.jpg. This is an archival image, released for the use into public domain in relation to the subject matter. It has been in use over 10 years without any complaints and I would be grateful if it can continue to be used as such. Please keep. Thank you.

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have grantedautopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you.

Hi Buidhe,
I have just seen that you have uploaded a lot of very usable images to Wiki Commons. May I pose a request to you: I am currently writing an article about Slovak National Socialism, and it would be great to have portraits of it's to main philosophers in there. Best regards, --Trimna (talk) 09:28, 4 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
@3mnaPashkan: Thanks! I do not have time to search right now, but many newspapers and magazines from the Slovak State era are digitized and available here. If you search e.g. "Stanislav Mečiar" and put 1945 as the end date, you can look through the results to see if there is a photograph of him. If there is no byline on the photograph, it can be uploaded as {{PD-Czechoslovakia-anon}}. However, this is quite time consuming so if your local wiki (dewiki?) allows it, it is much faster to do a local fair use upload. Thanks for your contributions! Buidhe (talk) 14:30, 4 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
Dear Buidhe, sry for the late answer and many thanks for your advise! I looked through Nový svet and Gardista, but for now I haven't found anything – guess I have just to keep on searching ;-) I would greatly appreciate if you could keep uploading images from Slovak history on Commons (of course only when your time allows it). --Trimna (talk) 00:13, 10 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
@3mnaPashkan: I just uploaded two new versions of the file, keep whichever you like better. You can download the entire issue as a PDF (see left sidebar) and then zoom in on the image to get the best quality. (However, the entire issue cannot be uploaded because many text articles are still probably copyrighted). Buidhe (talk) 20:13, 10 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
Hello! In the case you are interested, I've found new great image material here. There are also some great shootings from the Hlinka Guard. Best regards --Trimna (talk) 21:08, 30 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Dear Buidhe,
at the moment I am writing the German article of the so called „Pacification of Libya“, where the Italian fascists have also committed a genocide on the Libyan people. Images of the Fascist concentration camps can be seen at a end of a franche scientific page here. Could you upload them? I guess they can be all used unter the PD-Libya license, since they where all published without a mentioned author in the book of General Rodolfo Graziani (Rodolfo Graziani: Cirenaica pacificata.

I've updated my guide, please let me know if you have any comments. Also, I am having trouble with what US copyright tag to use for "works by Polish artists who died 1950 published in Poland after 1946 but before 1950", since it is the case of {{PD-old-70}} for Poland but {{PD-1996}} is no longer valid for the USA. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul PiotrusTalk06:42, 11 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Piotrus: I am a bit confused by the question, as it states in your guide under "What is not PD in Wikimedia Commons", the files have to have been PD on the URAA date to be kept. Unless I'm misunderstanding something, the publications in question aren't PD in the US and must not be kept on commons. Buidhe (talk) 06:49, 11 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Piotrus: Yes, that's exactly what URAA did. For any work not PD in Poland on 1 January 1996, copyright runs 95 years from publication under US law. Buidhe (talk) 07:04, 11 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Beyond My Ken: Sadly no. But I believe the 1937 rally is probably notable (see, eg here) so you could start an article on the rally and upload it under fair use. The image itself is on the internet, it's not going anywhere. Buidhe (talk) 22:46, 28 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

And, no, there was no "personal attack" in my last comment, or in this one.

Hey there! Don't use PD-Art for Gallica images: The BnF doesn't claim copyright on their scans - they state openly the images are public domain - which means we're adding an unnecessary restriction if we put PD-Art on it. PD-Art is a more restrictive license than a general PD statement. The Library of Congress (US Federal agency, hence unable to create copyright) is another one to avoid PD-Art for.

Hi Buidhe. I've noticed that recently you uploaded some photos from collections of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum which depict death camps in Bełżec and Sobibór. Do I understand correctly that from the legal point of view every USHM photo mark as "public domain" (like this one) can be uploaded in Commons? Regards.Dreamcatcher25 (talk) 06:45, 13 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Dreamcatcher25: I've found that some of the public domain claims are not correct for all jurisdictions, so I would not upload unless there's a plausible explanation for being public domain both in US and source country. In some cases, there are multiple sources for a file and only some of them are marked public domain, while others are marked copyright. In those cases, I would excercise caution. (For example this photo appears to be a private photograph—not PD-USArmy as Seibel's job was not a photographer—I would not upload it even though KZ-Gedenkstaette Mauthausen claims it's public domain). Photographs from NARA, or those with Signal Corps watermark, can be safely assumed to be {{PD-USGov}} or {{PD-US-alien property}}, but if the photographer was not a US government employee, copyright status in the source country also has to be considered. For example this photo cannot be uploaded (Ricken died less than 70 years ago so not PD in Austria). If it says "Cases Tried" then it's safe to assume it was published as part of war crimes trials in the 1940s and therefore {{PD-EU-no author disclosure}} (if anonymous). If it's marked public domain and the source is a Polish archive as in the example you gave, Polish law is very liberal with regard to photograph copyright so I just mark it as {{PD-Polish}} (which also covers being public domain in the US). In short, most of them are OK to upload with a bit of common sense and caution. Buidhe (talk) 07:24, 13 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

@FredWalsh: I believe this situation is covered under COM:FRNOT, specifically: "Files should NOT be renamed only because the new name looks a bit better." and "Files should NOT be renamed only to translate the filename to another language and/or because the filename is not correctly capitalized." Buidhe (talk) 01:13, 20 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
It is not a case of making it look a little better or correct capitalization. The proposed name was used until someone renamed it for a weak reason that is not covered by the renaming criteria. Why cannot it match the category and wikidata item? FredWalsh (talk) 01:17, 20 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
The other move was six years ago and the title has been stable since then. Nevertheless, if you are convinced that the file meets the renaming criteria (it doesn't) feel free to take it up with another file mover. Buidhe (talk) 01:20, 20 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Responded to you there. I get your confusion, though. This kind of artwork threw me a lot at first, but I suppose it predates black-and-white photography, so which colour became the middle was up in the air. And if you want more detail...
This seems to be the sort of technique that was particularly suited to making prints from - easy to tell light, midtones, and darks apart, which meant that you could work a print up from very little. I think Cambon is cheating a bit here - his use of white is relatively unimportant and slapdash - I get the feeling on the right he's using it more as an anti-shadow for the out of-focus background elements - but this is a production drawing, the next stage would have been something like https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b54002418n.r=charles%20cambon?rk=85837;2 - but, on the other hand, that may be for the best: 19th-century white ink, if used in too great of quantities, tends to turn rather ugly colours. For example, https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b70010807/f1.item.r=charles%20cambon.zoom
Will I do more Cambon? Sure. He did some gorgeous things for Armide, for example: [1][2] - and when he is consciously using white for special effect, it can be stunning. [3] - he even, rarely, does more full-colour images, e.g. [4], [5] - and his Wikipedia article could probably use more than just La Esmeralda as examples.

Good day. I am working to get the Freak_Power:_The_Ballot_or_the_Bomb page established. This user has been nominating the page and related image for deletion. I am a novice Wikipedia user and am committed to establishing the page for the Freak Power - The Ballot or the Bomb Documentary. How can we work together to move things forward?

Dear Buidhe,
I would like ask you again for your professional help with the upload of some portrait images from Ludak ministers, which can be found here. The most important one for me would be Ferdinand Ďurčanský: He still has no proper picture on Commons, and I need him as the leading figure behind the far-right Nástup group, which I would like to describe in the German article of Hlinka's Slovak People's Party.
Best regards,

Hello Buidhe,
there are two things I would kindly ask you for:
Is it possible to upload this three pictures from Vojtech Tuka, Alexander Mach und Anton Snaczký? I'm not sure about the copyrights, because there is a seal from a Slovak library and some kind of signature next to two of the pictures.
In addition to this picture from Nový svet, would it be possible to upload also this version of it? For my Rodobrana article important is the fact that on the latter one can see to full Rodobrana logo on Tukas shirt pocket.
Trimna, In this case, the images are not anonymous. These appear to be sketches rather than photographs and the author would have had to be dead prior to 1946 in order to be PD-US per COM:URAA, since at that time (in 1996) Slovakia had a 50-year copyright law for artistic works, I believe (now extended to 70 years).
I can't see the second image here, but if they are two versions of the same photograph, than either both of them are free or neither is. Please remember to link them with {{Other versions}}! Buidhe (talk) 15:42, 5 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hello Buidhe,
you declined my renaming request for above named file. Pict shows a headlight of a car and is in the category:Automobile headlamps. But nothing in the name gives a hint of the type of car. Pict does not shows a logo of the manufacturer either. Please conpare most other picts in the headlight category. So please tell me, which part of the name guideline do you see to decline. Thank you in advance. Regards, Wikisympathisant (talk) 07:23, 18 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Wikisympathisant OK, I went and changed the name. However, it would be just as good simply to state what type of car you think it is in the image description and categorize accordingly. Buidhe (talk) 14:14, 18 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi, you recently renamed the file 9295787 Artic Fjord 2004.jpg to 9295787 Arctic Fjord 2004.jpg. What is the reason for this? The ship is now named Aqua Fjord. but when the picture was taken it was named Artic Fjord. --Cavernia (talk) 13:24, 28 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
Cavernia I'm sorry, it was asked to be moved by SHB2000 on the basis of typo in the name. Unfortunately, I assumed that this was a typo for "Arctic" rather than checking the actual name of the ship. Because I am not an admin I cannot undo this move, so I've asked it to be moved back by an admin. My apologies for the mistake. Buidhe (talk) 20:21, 28 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
FYI, file movers can move files over a redirect which have had no edits after being created without being an admin. So, even though the template says you need to be an admin to move the file, you could have moved the file with just file mover permissions. TommyG (talk) 06:46, 3 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi, regarding Decriminalization of homosexuality by country or territory (remastered).svg, this map seems to me to be inaccurate. Australian states and territories largely decriminalised homosexual intercourse in the 70s and 80s, with Tasmania the last to do so in 1997. Please refer to LGBT rights in Australia. Kind regards, Thorpewilliam (talk) 08:34, 3 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I was unable to distinguish the different provinces so it shows the last jurisdiction in Australia to decriminalize homosexuality; the same situation is shown in the US. Buidhe (talk) 08:40, 3 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Karl Hermann Frank (cropped).jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.
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. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Dear younger colleague, I appreciate your sense of humor! I am Bulgarian from Bulgaria and am familiar with the subject: Bulgarians, other Balkan peoples and Armenians have had similar problems provoking debates (called "Eastern question") in XIX century. My country had well accepted several waves of Armenian refugees, their faith is described by our poets and writers, their successors are our 4th ethnic minority by number. Concerning your revert of my edit: with your long experience here you have to know our official com:overcat policy - for a parent category just choose either "C:International relations of the Ottoman Empire" or "C:Eastern Question", not both.

I've found what may be the original on the Prussian Heritage Image Archive (source), according to their copyright page images that are under copyright protection will indicate in the image preview's description what the copyright is. As far as I can tell, there's no copyright listed in the description, or anywhere else in the metadata on the archive's website for this photo. I think the original might be PD.

Hey, I don't often edit on Commons. I just saw the removal from the enwiki article and queried as you were the editor who tagged it for deletion. I'm trying to find the information that'd properly challenge this, but 1) this isn't my area of expertise, and 2) most of the source material is in German and I don't speak it. I was hoping that this might prompt you to run a quick check of your own. Sideswipe9th (talk) 02:12, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Since the photographer was a professional, I don't think we can rely on any unofficial or non-artistic photograph copyright exceptions. The only reason I would accept for keeping it was if there was evidence that his heirs have released the photograph under a free license. In my experience working with historical European photographs, that is really unlikely, and not worth the time to investigate further. Buidhe (talk) 02:16, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Sure, but the official copyright exception for published works is 50 years after it's first published, and not 70 years after the photographer's death. Römer was a photojournalist so it's not unreasonable that they published it somewhere. That sounds like it is worth at least a brief investigation, but the language barrier is proving prohibitive for me to have any luck here. Sideswipe9th (talk) 02:20, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
