File:Promises Film.jpg[edit]

Hi, Any ticket about this file? See undeletion request. Thanks, Yann (talk) 19:07, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Yann: I found Ticket:2022042410006212, which remains open and assigned to Krd.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 23:13, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

File:Kimmel meets Hallo Hessen.jpg[edit]

Who released the image under CC? Was it ABC or the person who took what is most likely a screenshot? Themakfal (talk) 12:23, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Themakfal: according to Ticket:2016041910009151, the photographer who gave permission was present on-set and took the photo at that time. I indicated such at the DR.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 13:12, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
odd, should have been deleted, go look at the original image on Instagram, there is an abc watermark on the bottom right which indicates it was a screenshot off a stream, the person may have been there but she did not take the image... Stemoc 16:36, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User:KingJeya's uploads[edit]

Particular these uploads:

VRT: ticket:2008100510027116

I would like to question who released the photos in the VRT correspondence? soccer.ru? or the clubs? or the user? These photos are of different players in different soccer clubs, and are attributed/linked to the clubs' social media. Did the clubs release the copyright to the website? Or did the website engaged someone to take the photos and pass them on the clubs?

I am asking particularly because the said user had also recently uploaded possible copyvio images:

I have to question as it seems like license laundering to me at the first glance.

Yes, I am aware of prior discussions but they didn't answer the questions I have:

Thanks in advance! Robertsky (talk) 16:31, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Robertsky, ticket:2008100510027116 was discussed in great detail at
The bottom line is that Soccer.ru supposedly had a statement in 2008 on the website that all the images on the website are released under CC license (I could not find actual archived link to verify this claim in true) and a person claiming to represent Soccer.ru ("единственным обладателем исключительных авторских прав на фото-материалы портала http://www.soccer.ru") filed standard VRTS permission form in 2012. At a time nobody asked for clarification about how the website acquired all the copyrights from the photographers. According to the discussion on Russian wiki, it sounds like they are very skeptical of this permission and proposed to nullify the ticket. Also even if all the images at 2012 were owned by the website, it is unclear if the images uploaded afterwards were. --Jarekt (talk) 15:11, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
By the way this permission is used on 11 thousands files, see here. --Jarekt (talk) 15:14, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment The ammount of files in the ticket should not be a rationale to keep or delete. --Ganímedes (talk) 16:30, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Ganímedes agreed, but if these photos are found to be uploaded, not in order, and/or possibly more, shouldn't the uploads in this ticket be questioned instead then? Robertsky (talk) 16:53, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I mean it doesn't matter if they're 5 or 500.000. If they're copyright violations, they should be deleted anyway. As I said downstream, we should not accept anymore files from this ticket without a proper clarification of his copyright status. --Ganímedes (talk) 15:55, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Jarekt I will attempt to reach out the clubs in question for clarifications. Robertsky (talk) 16:52, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Robertsky I doubt clubs are the copyright owners of the images unless you have reasons to believe that they acquired the copyrights from the photographers. If you want to get any clarification I would try to identify the photographers and reach out to them. --Jarekt (talk) 16:58, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Jarekt the photographs are uploaded through the clubs' social media with no other identifying marks to be found. Going to the clubs is the next best option. Robertsky (talk) 17:18, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think the next step it's to contact the website and clear this problem. --Ganímedes (talk) 22:04, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have gotten response from one club with relation to the upload File:Kim_Shin-Wook.png. The file should be deleted. I have forwarded the email to commons-permission... which may be wrong. Ticket is 2022060110012718. Robertsky (talk) 18:53, 1 June 2022 (UTC) Also, I believe that the soccer.ru permissions should be relooked at. I have yet to dig into other photos, but the culture to avail materials to public domain or even Creative Commons in Singapore is still very much niche, outside of software development.

Ticket 2011101010016175 (Football.ua)[edit]

Hi, as there has been some editwarring about whether these images, File:Jota 4973.jpg and File:Leão 2022.jpg, are indeed covered by the permission from Football.ua, could a VRTS-volunteer please check whether said permission is indeed valid for these 2 Getty-credited images. --Túrelio (talk) 06:58, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment Ticket it's in ru-. However, it leads to 2 URL: [1], [2]. --Ganímedes (talk) 11:35, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
PS: This is a 2011 permission. Probably at these days, we should not accept files from this source under this ticket without a proper re-evaluation. A new statement may be necessary. --Ganímedes (talk) 13:51, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Túrelio, ticket:2011101010016175 ticket, is very similar to soccer.ru ticket in the previous discussion, and the website operators claim to own the copyrights to all photographs in foto-galleries of footbal.ua ("всех фотоизображений, размещенных в фотогалереях на сайте football.ua") and released them under CC license. This ticket is used on 3 thousand images, See here. Nobody asked and nobody clarified how the website acquired the copyrights from the photographers. --Jarekt (talk) 15:59, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Получение лицензии на изображение[edit]

Добрый день. Отправила запрос на получение лицензии на два изображения на Викискладе. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%D0%91%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%B0%D0%B2%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%B8%D0%BB%D1%8C_%D0%91%D0%90-20%D0%9C_%D0%B2_%D0%9C%D1%83%D0%B7%D0%B5%D0%B5_%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%BE%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B8.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%D0%91%D1%8B%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%85%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9_%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B3%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BA_%D0%91%D0%A2-7_%D0%B2_%D0%9C%D1%83%D0%B7%D0%B5%D0%B5_%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B8.jpg В графе права вместо получения лицензии появился блок со ссылкой на VRTS-аккаунт. Я перехожу по ссылке, у меня нет пароля и логина, и зарегистрироваться на ресурсе VRTS нет возможности, так как там нет полей для регистрации, только поля для логина и пароля. Подскажите, что мне надо сделать, чтобы изображения были лицензированы и получили отметку с разрешением на размещение в Википедии. Elena89 345, 08:45 30.05.2022 (UTС)
