Rev del of original upload of copyrighted work needed?[edit]
Please, see here: File:Charging Bull (28919670730).jpg. It was related to the DR you closed here: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Charging Bull (28919670730).jpg.

Also, you wrote that the file is "in use" in your closing. Where is the cropped version used? I don't see a link on the file. Thanks, -- Ooligan (talk) 15:26, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
What's your point? I don't see any problem with the image. The bull is sufficiently obscured by the crowd that the images are not DWs. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 17:16, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
استرجاع صور محذوفة[edit]
أهلًا، لقد قمت بحذف الصور الموجودة هنا. جميع الصور الموجودة في هذا التصنيف هي صور خاصة بي، وأخي هو من صور هذه الصور، أرجو استعادة جميع الصور. تقبل تحياتي. سيف القوضي (talk) 20:01, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
There are two reasons that I deleted the images. The first is that you claimed that you were the actual photographer, but they did not look like selfies. As you say above, you were not the actual photographer, so the deletions were correct. Making false claims is a serious violation of Commons rules and may lead to your being blocked from editing here.
The second reason is that Commons is not a web host for your personal images -- Commons is not Facebook. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:53, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
أول صورة رفعتها لي كانت من تصويري، لذا أرجو استرجاعها ولا مشكلة في حذف باقي الصور. تقبل تحياتي. سيف القوضي (talk) 00:04, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
Seven Cross Flag[edit]

The flag may appear in many places, but without a free license from its creator or a good reason why it is PD (usually age), we cannot keep it on Commons . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:05, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- If I create this flag on my computer based on these images, will it qualify as an original image? Nasrani131 (talk) 21:12, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- No. If you copy a copyrighted work, you have created a Derivative Work which may have its own copyright but it infringes on the copyright for the original. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:14, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi Jim, sorry to overrule you there, but this is clearly covererd by German Freedom of panorama. Regards --Reinhard Kraasch (talk) 22:15, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
Freely licensed photograph of a 3D yarn artwork made by the wife of the photographer. Is there anything I should do about this? Abzeronow (talk) 18:33, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
Hmm. There are two assumptions here -- first that Heather Brown is the wife of Matt Brown and second that she has authorized the images. Strictly speaking we should get a free license from her for the artwork, but I'd be inclined to let it go. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:40, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
- This Evening Standard story says they are married: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/mayor/the-race-for-knitty-hall-the-london-mayor-candidates-in-wool-7657589.html I'd also prefer that we get a free license from her, but I'm not sure how likely that is. I suppose I could leave a message on the Flickr photograph page. Abzeronow (talk) 16:22, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
- I'd say we have better things to do than worrying about whether a man has permission to post his wife's art here, but it's your call. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:40, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello. Please restore the file. It has ticket permission, and the argument of the IP is entire nonsense. --Krd 12:12, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
- Krd, if the VRT ticket answers the questions raised in the DR, go ahead and restore it. Since I can;t see the VRT ticket, I'm uncomfortable with doing it myself. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:13, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
- Done. Thank you. Krd 08:47, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
Would the Cheetah image in this logo be below the ToO in South Africa or would the cheetah image other be public domain? These kind of airplanes were first built in 1986. Abzeronow (talk) 17:29, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
I think it is certainly above the ToO anywhere. Whether it is PD for another reason is anyone's guess, but that would have to be proven by the uploader. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:35, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
Hikmet Toker[edit]
Good evening Jameslwoodward I respect your sensitivity to protect Wikimedia. But I don't understand how you delete a photo right away when it is uploaded. Sometimes it takes a few days for the permission letter to be approved. I uploaded 2 more images for the Hikmet Toker page. Please restore the page. I want to include both images in the page. Permission letter for pictures is on the way. Thank you for your understanding.--Gemalmaz ileti 20:26, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
Our experience is that fewer than half of letters which users claim to have sent to VRT actually result in an approval, so we delete images knowing that if the approval happens the image can easily be restored. Commons Admins have thousands of DRs and other requests in the backlog, so making things faster for us is a priority. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:49, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
Good night James, I inform you that once again I will nominate the deletion request of this flag because there is no official document, not even at the tribal level, that the flag exists, as I commented in the February DR, tribal flags must have recognition from the respective congress. Since there is no document, the flag is simply false, illegal and can lead to a great misunderstanding.
Given that keeping that hoax flag in Commons can even generate a legal problem (as it does not exist in a document), I will nominate it again. The file is not used by any article, only in two subpages without encyclopedic use, so in the next few days I will do, and if necessary I will request it until it is deleted, to remove such illegality. Greetings. Taichi (talk) 02:17, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
I have no problem with your nominating it again, although I think you very much overstate the case. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 17:53, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
- I have been collaborating not only on Wikimedia Commons for almost 20 years, I'm also an administrator on several Wikimedia projects including Meta (in past years). I would kindly appreciate it if you would re-evaluate your misguided perceptions about my considerations in this case for the next interaction we have. Thank you. Taichi (talk) 15:52, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you want. When you last nominated the file for deletion, it was in use, so it could not be deleted except for copyright violation. Now I have said above that I have no problem with your nominating it again. I do have a problem with "can even generate a legal problem" and "simply false, illegal". I see no legal problem with hoax flags and the flag is certainly not illegal. This may be a language problem -- the word "illegal" implies that the poster could go to jail for posting it. That is the case only with child pornography and, in a few countries, Nazi material. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:49, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi Jim, I think this file was taken from this Instagram post on November 1, 2022. HeminKurdistan (talk) 18:41, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- Good catch, thank you. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:17, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
Bibliotheek Ommoord[edit]
I was planning to add a few other pics of this soon to be demolished library and add them to the gallery but since you deleted it without warning I won't bother. I'm tired now and will stop uploading and log oit. Feel free to delete more or place some warnings on my talk page. Someone Not Awful (talk) 20:06, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
Someone Not Awful, if you leave a gallery page with only one image on it, it will be deleted. To avoid that, add {{Underconstruction}}, removing it when you are done. I have restored the page. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:39, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks! Someone Not Awful (talk) 13:29, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
Restoration[edit]
Hello, Jim!
Can you please restore Life in the 90s in Kosovo you recently deleted? It's about a photo campaign we're having on Tuesday (the Albanian community). Actually it needs to be created in the Campaign namespace I believe and I plan to move it and add in the translations but I wouldn't want to recreate the whole content from scratch. - Klein Muçi (talk) 18:09, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
Done I learn something every day -- I didn't know there was a Campaign: namespace. I tried to move to to that space, but couldn't, so I leave it to you. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 19:52, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
- No, it's my bad. I meant to write "the Commons namespace" (where campaign pages usually are located) but got confused. Thank you for the restoration! I'll deal with it soon.
