Comment Ticket in permissions-de queue. --Ganímedes (talk) 23:43, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
GeoJSON under OGL3.0
[edit]Hello team I have identified a couple of datasets (GeoJSON in particular) that are currently under a Open Government Licence 3.0. These are from NatureScot and Scottish Government (SIMD datazones). Am I (as an editor) permitted to bulk upload these GeoJSON files using OpenRefine? Or would I need to contact the copyright holders first? I am then hoping to connect the data to the relevant Wikidata items for each datazone. Many thanks in advance for the assistance and advice.

19 files were deleleted without any reason, if course there was a permission mail (german). And there was a "nonsense" request (sorry to say so), which was answered (without further reply, iirc). Please undelete as soon as possible. --Subbass1 (talk) 20:45, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Subbass1: There is always a reason. Did you follow the emailed instructions? — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 00:49, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, *I see* no reason. Perhaps some german should jump in here for clearing. (Strange that my files are processed nearly always by the same person (krd)). PS There also were files which weren't affected by the (answered, nonsense, imho) request. I really see it as a bad style then to delete them altogether, sorry. --Subbass1 (talk) 05:48, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Krd is an admin. He starts almost all tickets in several languages. He's *by far* one of the most active VRT agents, if not the most. So, it's not strange that he processes nearly always your files ... I've checked with the help of Google and I'm not sure to understand the problem. I saw Krd made some questions and request to do something but I'm not sure to fully understand the problem. Can you please clarify a little bit (here or in the ticket, but in English so I can try to follow, please). --Ganímedes (talk) 15:54, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, but no, sorry, I'm not willing to argue the whole story in english. I'll wait for help by german admins. PS If you look up here, you'll see me asking for the very same ticket days/weeks before. At that time the files were online yet. No (helpful) answer there... --Subbass1 (talk) 19:17, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

- @Krd: Kannst du kurz mitteilen, wo es hier hängt? Anscheinend fehlt da noch was zur Bestätigung der Genehmigung. Wenn dem so ist, sollte sich Subbass1 am besten erneut mit demjenigen in Verbindung setzen, der die Mail ans VRT geschickt hat. --Rosenzweig τ 07:50, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

2010061710041251 Studio Hartcourt released images under a "Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported" license. Does their license cover all Studio Hartcourt images, or just the ones they uploaded? There is a movement to delete all the pre 1929 to 1991 images because they are under an active copyright. RAN (talk) 04:33, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- First, let me be mindful this is an older ticket from 2010. I think nowadays we would have not accepted it as such, it's a bit vague, but as to your question I think it's safe to say that the images uploaded under the specific account are okay, and the release does not cover any future uploads beyond the ones made by User:Studio Harcourt. I'd appreciate if a French speaker could confirm my review. Ciell (talk) 05:11, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, I see that another ticket is related to Studio Harcourt: ticket:2020112910005534. Could you please tell us what it covers? (and I'm a French speaker so I can help you if needed) Ayack (talk) 18:46, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
The portrait uploaded by the author has been removed
[edit]The portrait of a sculptor Nina Niss-Goldman by Alexander Ibragimov (File:Portrait of the Sculptor Nina Niss-Goldman by Alexander Ibragimov (1988).jpg) with the motivation "No permission since 23 June 2024" has been removed. Please, note that this portrait was uploaded many years ago by the author Alexander Ibragimov himself. This portrait can still be found on the author's web page https://www.instagram.com/p/COPk1WHByiF/. Thank you for your kind attention.~~~~ == Wavepainter (talk) 14:42, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

This section is resolved and can be archived. If you disagree, replace this template with your comment. --Krd 15:14, 3 July 2024 (UTC) The copyright owner of these photos have already sent their license several weeks ago. Requesting license verification for the images Regards, Jeromi Mikhael (marhata) 22:07, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Ticket number? Krd 05:18, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- I have no idea. They've just sent their email with the subject: Release permit for photos of Professor Heri Hermansyah, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, University of Indonesia. Regards, Jeromi Mikhael (marhata) 23:08, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Please ask them to provide the ticket number they got in response, or to send the permission again. Krd 18:37, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- Krd, I think this may be Ticket:2024070110007899, of which you appear to be the owner. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:17, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Then, as nearly always, the permission sender please should answer our followup questions. --Krd 12:39, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

If you disagree, replace this template with your comment. --Krd 12:39, 7 July 2024 (UTC) Can someone look up ticket:2012081410006029 and tell us what it says. According to Commons:Village_pump#German_currency_files_without_machine-readable_license it should have a letter from some German agency about PD status of Deutsche Mark bank notes. Jarekt (talk) 21:29, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- The ticket contains an e-mail from the German Federal Bank stating:
- They cannot answer if DM notes are PDGov ("Amtliches Werk"). This has to be decided by court if required, but they are not aware of any precedent. They do not object the use of the images if they are unmodified and used in good faith.
- They don't have any business in Euro, GDR currency or Reichmark and refer to the department of finance, or the KFW regarding GDR.
- In my opinion the ticket confirms nothing helpful. Krd 05:18, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
I attempted to create a template for portraits of members of the Kentucky legislature using this ticket. Could someone summarize the contents of the email, to check that I'm correct in doing this? Thanks! -Mad Mismagius (talk) 01:58, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- The ticket is for specific files only. The template currently is invalid. Krd 14:54, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- What types of files does the ticket pertain to? Is is restricted by publication date, type of photo, or something else? I have seen this ticket used for several different files. -Mad Mismagius (talk) 01:46, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
Goodness, what did he tell you in the VRT communication: that this is a selfie? Who is the photographer = copyright holder? We are talking German copyright here (Urheberrecht) which is non-transferable. The image subject can only be the copyright holder if they themselves took the photo. --2003:C0:8F48:2600:203F:8108:71FA:4477 11:30, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
On a side note, FYI: The uploader has been infinitely banned on the German WP for sockpuppetry and undeclared paid editing. --2003:C0:8F48:2600:203F:8108:71FA:4477 12:02, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Ticket from 2015, incomplete per today's standards. Krd 14:56, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- FWIW, File:Peter_Kranke.jpg could easily be self-taken with a self-timer. I've taken pictures of myself that way that look no more like obvious selfies, e.g. File:Joe Mabel self portrait 2020-01-12.jpg; I could probably provide an even better example, but not from a picture currently on Commons. - Jmabel ! talk 17:34, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
