File:Yoon so-hee.png

Hi, The image File:Yoon so-hee.png is a screenshot of a youtube video with a tag of " License Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)". The source is linked in the description and the author is also named on the description.The licensing of the image is also under "Youtube CC-BY" Does this still need a evidence of permission?.Noitaxat (talk) 12:25, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

@Noitaxat: I apologize for not noticing the CC license on the source video. I have removed the missing permission template from the image. No further evidence is needed. MKFI (talk) 12:38, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

it's okay, since i'm new to wiki-commons i thought i would still need the evidence. Thanks for your help. Noitaxat (talk) 13:52, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

Copyright Concern

Hello, You have kept a copyright tag on the draft: Arishka Laddha.jpg. This image was given to all news dailies, its not a copyrighted image and you can find the same image or alternate image of this kind on different websites and news articles. We kindly request you to remove the copyright tag and we can provide any proof including parent concern of the same, as this file was given to us by the parent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by James1291 (talk • contribs) 04:40, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I see that you believe there might be a copyright concern for the image ive used in my article draft:Ameya Prabhu. Although, this image was provided to me by Ameya himself. I request you to remove the request. I'm more than happy to provide any kind of proof needed. I'd appreciate if you could help me through the process! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schrute123 (talk • contribs) 12:42, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page. MKFI (talk) 15:08, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

The situation is that Ameya Prabhu, took this image with his own DSLR camera, and gave me the permission to use it for wikipedia. He's the one who provided this image to all the media outlets and websites like the "young global leaders" one. I just need your help in understanding what I have to do exactly, to prove this. I request you to be a little specific as I'm new to this! Thanks for your time! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schrute123 (talk • contribs) 07:06, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Daily gallery updater has failed on User:MKFI/Military of Finland

Hello. This message is to inform you that a daily gallery in your userspace, User:MKFI/Military of Finland, has failed. Due to software limitations, the bot has a hard upper-limit of about 6000 files per day (including overflow galleries), while your gallery had 28185 files.

This usually happens because a gallery is too broad, encompassing too many subcategories. Please review the logs here and request that a subcategory be excluded, or narrow your category choice(s).

Please make your request for removal within 4 days, or your gallery will be subject to removal.

Thank you. Magog the Ogre (via OgreBot (talk) 13:27, 24 October 2021 (UTC))

Removing deletion tags from my files

Hi MKFI,

A month ago you put deletion tags on my files. But then I corrected my mistake and you replied to me that after one or two weeks deletion tags will be removed by the admin but the deletion tags have not been removed yet. Please remove those deletion tags from my files.

@Manasi.M.Pawar: Deletion requests are badly backlogged and it seems no admin has yet had the time to check this. None of the images have been deleted either, the deletion request is still open.

Thanks for letting me know regarding the image copyright. However, I have permissions to use this image from Sally. How do I add the tag {{Permission pending|year=2021|month=November|day=10}}? Sally is writing to your VRT team now with written permission to use it.

Saddleback 25.jpg

Hello MKFI. I am still a bit new to uploading photos to Wikimedia so I apologize for not crediting the photographer (Brianna Soukup), and adding where that photo came from. I re-edited the photo to give the photo a valid source for where it came from, and so it does not get deleted. However that being said, if it still does not meet the criteria for it to be on wikipedia I understand. Tv.Rule (talk)

Thanks for uploading File:Rautjärven pitäjäntupa.JPG. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion.

Possible copyright violation: File: Professor Timothy Abiodun Adebayo.png

Hi MKFI.

I see you marked the File: Professor Timothy Abiodun Adebayo.png as a possible copyright violation and deleted the image. The image is not copyrighted. The person in question is a public figure, whose image can be used in any news related to him. Also,  there is no law providing for image rights in Nigeria when such image is not an artistic work. Only artistic work image is copyrighted and needs permission to use. In essence, the image File: Professor Timothy Abiodun Adebayo.png is free to use.

Kindly restore the image and remove copyright tag from the image. Thanks. Opyquad (talk) 09:41, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

@Opyquad: generally almost every recent photograph is copyrighted. According to Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Nigeria photographs are copyrighted for 50 years after publication in Nigeria. If you believe the image should be undeleted you can request it in Commons:Undeletion requests. MKFI (talk) 09:55, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

@MKFI: Thanks for sharing. The link provides an insight into image/photo copyright.

However, the law applies to artistic work and cinematograph films. This doesn't apply to public figures such as academics and politicians. Only celebrities here are making a new case for copyrighted images, which is yet to be documented. I will request for it to be undeleted. Opyquad (talk) 13:15, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

@Opyquad: once a file has been deleted only administrators can undelete it; I can't do that. You should make an undeletion request using the above link. However at least the Commons guideline page does not mention the exceptions about public figures, and it is a really odd copyright law if that is the case. Nigeria is a member of the Berne convention which usually means everything is copyrighted by default. Artistic works usually just enjoy longer copyright period. MKFI (talk) 14:12, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

@MKFI: I get your point. Unfortunately, that's the image rights in Nigeria, provided the photo/image is not used for commercial purpose. It is only copyrighted when a photographer of such image has their brand inscription on it. I already submitted undeletion request. Opyquad (talk) 14:54, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

@Opyquad: that article is about image rights or what might be called publicity rights, not basic copyright. MKFI (talk) 16:40, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

@MKFI The article is an interpretation of copyright. If you are not convinced about the submissions of the writer, kindly check Section 1(1) of Nigeria’s Copyright Act. This is just a proof that there is no universal copyright law. And I think Wikipedia Commons should update their article on Copyright in Nigeria. I would like us to further this discussion, bringing in legal experts. Opyquad (talk) 09:17, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

@Opyquad: section 51 shows that artistic works include photographs not comprised in a cinematograph film which suggest that photographs are included. I recommend that you open a new discussion in Commons:Village pump/Copyright - you can find more knowledgeable people than me there. MKFI (talk) 09:35, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

@MKFI The photograph you mentioned refers either to one taken from an artistic work or from a stage play. However, the File: Professor Timothy Abiodun Adebayo.png does not fall under either of these categories, making it free to use and free from any litigation. I think the file should have been subjected to an academic debate before an outright deletion. Opyquad (talk) 14:14, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
