@Herbythyme: The license note can be found on page 5 of the PDF, as part of the copyright note. There is explicit mention of license and version number. Felix QW (talk) 08:01, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

My apologies - I didn't find that. I'll remove the tag. Best Herby ^{talk thyme} 08:19, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

No worries! Do you know if there is a better place than "source" to put this information, for future reference? Felix QW (talk) 08:38, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

REALLY good question! And I do hit the issue from time to time. I'll get back to you on that one. Herby ^{talk thyme} 09:54, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Hum - in the short term I agree completely with what you have done. Pointing more directly to actual licensing would be very helpful. I do learn as time goes by - website often have "all rights reserved" or similar and yet some parts of the website may be CC licensed. I have taken to looking at the beginning and the end of pdfs for possible info but I can't honestly say I have the time read entire files. I do appreciate you pointing this one out to me .

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2022) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Ausschnitte einer bereits vorhandenen Landkarte (Orte)

Hallo und erst mal ganz herzlichen Dank für die Infos.

Ich habe mir das CROP Tool angeschaut - bin nicht so richtig begeistert.

Hier mal ein lebendes Beispiel - das zeigt wo noch Klärungsbedarf ist: Special:WhatLinksHere/File:Abriss des Amts Schmalkalden, den Zehnten Benshausen und Brotterode mit der Vogtei Herrenbreitungen.jpg Die Karte ist vom Hess. Staatsarchiv Marburg und zeigt in diesem Fall Orte in heutigen Thüringen - Landkreis Schmalkalden-Meiningen. Natürlich sind hier die Details "bezaubernd" - ganz oben links erkennt man Brotterode am Rennsteig - der Galgen ... die Bergwerke und Zainhämmer, ... Das ist auf der Auschnittskarte sofort sichtbar - in der Gesamtkarte findet man - wenn man nicht gezielt sucht - nicht mal Brotterode (oft andere Schreibweise...) Noch eine ganz wichtige Zusatzfrage: Die Max. verg. Datei auf Commons bei diesem Link ist (nur) mit einer mittleren Zoomeinstellung erstellt worden.

Kann ich - mit dem Dateibrowser des Anbieters (Staatsarchiv Marburg) auch am Original noch tiefer hineinzoomen, um noch mehr Details sichtbar zu machen - denn ich habe genaugenommen dann nicht mehr die in den Metadaten verpackten Angaben - meine Daten sind von anderem Erstelldatum. Wer sich damit auskennt wird das auch leicht erkennen. Nach dem Motto : "Vor dem Schaden klug sein" Ich erinnere mich an sonst an ein Template das Bild ist eine gezoomte oder herausgeschnittene Version von diesem Originalbild - und das wurde in der Dateibeschreibung eingefügt mit {{ ???? )). Vielleicht ahnst Du was mir vorschwebt. Vielen Dank. Bin ab 12:30 wieder online. EACC80 (talk) 09:36, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Selbstverständlich kannst Du das. Ich würde es dann aber einfach mit der Quellangabe des hessischen Landesarchivs hochladen und gar nicht als Derivat des bestehenden Bilds auf Commons deklarieren. Schließlich hast Du dieses Bild ja gar nicht hergenommen. In diesem spezifischen Fall waren die Angaben auf Commons ohnehin, falsch, da es sich ja um ein Werk von Herrn Joist Moers und nicht um ein Werk des Staatsarchivs handelt (und schon gar nicht um ein eigenes Werk des Hochladenden). Ich habe sie jetzt ausgebessert. Du kannst Deinen höherwertigen Ausschnitt dann einfach mit der gleichen Vorlage {{PD-Art}} hochladen, die ich jetzt auch beim jetzigen Bild angebracht habe. Wir haben auch {{Other version}}, wenn Du die beiden Dateien dennoch irgendwie veknüpfen möchtest. Felix QW (talk) 10:00, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Vielen Dank, besagtes Template Other Version hatte ich "im Sinn". Und nun freue ich mich auf die Arbeit um diverse neue Zugänge in den Kategorien "Old maps of xyz" zu generieren. Ich bin in der Region auch als Helfer diverser Ortschronisten (Generation Ü70) im stand by modus - die vor dem technischen Hintergrund zurückschrecken ... Beste Grüße EACC80 (talk) 10:41, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Viel Erfolg bei Deinen Bemühungen! Felix QW (talk) 11:15, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Welcome, Dear Filemover!

---

Hi Felix QW, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

• Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
• Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
• Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

File:Max Fishman.jpg

Please restore the photograph of Max Fishman. File:Max Fishman.jpg It was made by amateurs around 1953-54 for the stand of our conservatory teachers. Since then it has not been published anywhere. All rights to the photograph were given for free use. Comments that I am 90 years old are too exaggerated - I am 86 years old. When the photo was taken I was learning to take photographs. There were many assistants. Max Fishman died in 1985. Why remove a photograph of a person that no one has claimed for about 80 years. Sincerely Levikoan (talk) 17:08, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

@Levikoan As I am not an administrator, I am sadly unable to restore any file here on Commons. There are processes in place to challenge a deletion, but I do have a question: In the discussion you said you were the photographer, now that no one claimed it and it was made by "amateurs". Can you confirm that you have taken the photo all those years ago? Felix QW (talk) 14:07, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Dear. I didn't claim to be a photographer. I wrote that the conservatory students made a stand of photographs of their teachers (all of them were not professionals). At that time I was a schoolboy and studied piano with Max Fishman. I helped photograph Max Fishman and can consider myself the author of the photo. Recently, the Fishman family asked me to correct a photo for Wikipedia and insert it, which I did. I do not claim authorship. Family too. The photo has been released for public use. In the photo of Max Fishman from 1953, it is clear that he is 35-38 years old in the photo. He was born in 1915. Therefore the photographs are over 75 years old. Please help me complete the photo restoration procedure. I am an old man, how can I do this and I don’t understand. Sincerely Levikoan (talk) 14:59, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Unfortunately, US copyright terms last for 95 years after publication, regardless of whether the photographer is an amateur or a professional. As Wikimedia Commons's servers are located in the US, all photos uploaded here have to be out of copyright in the US. Therefore, it will not be possible to upload this photograph. There is already a photograph of Max Fishman on Wikimedia Commons, currently used in the Wikipedia article, for which we have written permission from the copyright holder: File:Max Fishman 1961.jpg.

Сopyright law of the United States

The copyright law of the United States grants monopoly protection for "original works of authorship"

A work may enter the public domain in a number of different ways. For example, (a) the copyright protecting the work may have expired, or

(b) the owner may have explicitly donated the work to the public,

or (c) the work is not the type of work that copyright can protect.

The United States copyright law protects "original works of authorship" fixed in a tangible medium, including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and other intellectual works. This protection is available to both published and unpublished works. Copyright law includes the following types of works:

·        Literary

·        Musical

·        Dramatic

·        Pantomimes and choreographic works

·        Pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works

·        Audio-visual works

·        Sound recordings

·        Derivative works

·        Compilations

·        Architectural works

No indication of photos taken by non-professionals. This is not an original work of authorship Levikoan (talk) 16:38, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
