@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 .

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)

Löschantrag File:Rahnestraße (Zeitz) - Filmplakat und Eingang am Theater der Freundschaft (1955).jpg ?

Hallo Felix QW, du hast heute dieses Bild als "Genehmigung des Urhebers bzw. Rechteinhabers fehlt" markiert. Ehrlich gesagt verstehe ich deine Intension nicht! Auf welchen Teil des Bildes, wofür ich die Rechte nachweisen soll, bezieht sich dein Löschantrag? Das Bild wurde 1955 in der damaligen DDR unter Panoramafreiheit aufgenommen und stammt aus dem Familienarchiv. Bitte gibt an welches konkrete Motiv du auf dem Bild für bedenklich hältst, weshalb ich dafür eine Genehmigung bräuchte und warum du dafür einen Schnelllöschantrag gestellt hast und nicht eine normaler Löschantrag mit Angabe des Grund gereicht hätte. Bitte beantworte diese Frage für jedes Bild separat, damit ich im Detail darauf eingehen kann o. ggf eine andere als die bisher benutzte Lizenzart verwenden kann. Vielen Dank und mit freundlichen Grüßen.--Cookroach (talk) 20:17, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

@Cookroach Du schreibst, dass sie aus einem "privaten nachlass" stammen und dass die Bilder "freundlicherweise zur Verfügung gestellt worden sind". Nun bräuchten wir eben diese Aussage, einschließlich der Lizenz, vom Rechteinhaber, vermutlich dem Fotografen oder dessen Erben. Wer hat sie denn zur Verfügung gestellt? Felix QW (talk) 20:24, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Hallo @Felix QW das ist familienintern und sollte hier nicht geschrieben werden, es war einer meiner verstorbenen Verwandten. Ich selbst bin der Erbe - wenn ich den Satz lösche, ist es dann okay o. benötigen die Bilder eine gesonderte andere Lizenz ? Wer ist "wir" ? - im Satz: "Nun bräuchten wir eben diese Aussage, ...". Die Angabe war lediglich der Tatsache geschuldet, da ich später geboren wurde und ja nicht selbst das Bild gemacht haben kann. Wie sollen den zukünftig weitere Bilder "korrekt" bezeichnet werden, wenn sie aus dem eigenen Familienarchiv stammen ?--Cookroach (talk) 20:37, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Ah, ich verstehe. Wenn Du selbst der Erbe bist, dann müssten sie Dir ja nicht freundlicherweise zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Das hat eben die Verwirrung gestiftet. Es wäre dann gut, die Lizenzangabe durch {{Cc-by-sa-4.0-heirs}} zu ersetzen, und bei "Author" zumindest "Relative of user:Cookroach" oder Ähnliches zu ergänzen. Damit sollte der Sachverhalt dann klar sein. Felix QW (talk) 20:46, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

So entsprechend geändert, werde demnächst darauf achten keine Missverständnisse zu erzeugen. Danke für die schnellen Antworten, wer entfernt jetzt die Löschanträge?--Cookroach (talk) 21:05, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Sollten alle erledigt sein. Herzlichen Dank für die Kooperation auch meinerseits! Felix QW (talk) 21:16, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
