You tagged the above image with the Non-free Reduce template - I'm happy to do so, but could you give me a vague idea of what kind of resolution would be acceptable? It's currently 2,200 × 5,159 which I agree is rather big. Many thanks -- Codeine (talk) 17:11, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
My guideline is typically to reduce it to an image which would be below around 640x480 for photos, and below NTSC Standard resoloution for films and TV captures. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:01, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Change in 5"/38 caliber gun article
On 15:06, 10 October 2013 you revised "5"/38 caliber gun" article by removing "Image:Mk" and replacing it with "Mark" in the "Mount" section. This deleted the Mark 37 mount image and left the caption displayed in red. I "undid" the revision to see if the Mark 37 mount image would return, and it did. I apologize if this is the wrong way to troubleshoot an image problem. During my troubleshooting, I found that the image file name on the Wikipedia server had been changed. "Mk" in the file name was changed to "Mark". Therefore I edited the article to read "Image:Mark...", and article seems to work okay now. Please let me know if there are problems with my fix.

File permission problem with File:Kingdom of Loango Flag.jpg
Hi,
The license for the above file states: "This file is in the public domain because its copyright has expired in the United States and those countries with a copyright term of no more than the life of the author plus 100 years."
Forgive me for not understanding the complexities of American copyright law (or any of the more advanced aspects of any copyright law, for that matter) but I'm not sure why permission would be needed for a file if there is no copyright. Would you be able to clarify? --Jonesy1289 (talk) 22:04, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Lysiana exocarpi
Hi,
I just checked this item and found my gallery has gone. One of the items was a copy of the drawing of the original Behr specimen which I got from the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney. The other was an Olive Pink painting which has now replaced the photo of the Charles Sturt herbarium specimen collected by Dave Watson. Dave is the lecturer who set writing a wiki article as an assignment.
I don't pretend to understand most of the copyright rules, but note you have reviewed File:Evoor Ottan thullal.jpg and deemed it suitable to move to Commons. According to the metadata, the photo was taken on 19 April 2013, whereas the subject of the photo Evoor Damodaran Nair died on 18 October 2003, almost 10 years before the photo was taken. I suggest, therefore, that the claim of "own work" can only relate to this photo, of a picture taken by someone else several before, i.e. it is a copyvio. Arjayay (talk) 17:50, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
About a week ago, you reviewed a file I uploaded – File:Sofia Wide Centre Map.png as OK to move to commons. Does that mean it's ok for me to move it, or does it need further review? I am unsure, as it is still described as a "candidate"...
If it's ok, and by the same vein, can we also move this wider projection – File:Sofia Full City Map.png to commons as well? Than way, we can have a "family" of three different-zoom projections of the city, along with the already existing File:Sofia Center.png.
I am asking, because I would like to begin using them in articles using geolocation pogs. I have felt the need for these two maps for a while now, as the current "Sofia Center" one is inadequate for a lot of articles, hence why I uploaded the other two.
Hi Sfan00 IMG, I saw that you deleted the images I uploaded in September 2013. They were tagged as OTRS pending and on 9/12/13 a Declaration of Consent (see below) was sent to permissions-en@wikimedia.org from an authorized representative of the owner giving permission to publish the images under the free license "Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported" and GNU Free Documentation License (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).]. As such, can these deletions be reversed? Thank you.
You tagged this file as "reviewed and safe to move to Commons" -[1]. Unless I'm missing something, it's a screenshot of a copyrighted music video, so that wouldn't be correct. I guess the uploader (who has a mini-"history" of uploading copyrighted files as "own work") could try to come up with a non-free rationale for use, but I tagged it CSD F11 as no permission in the meantime.

File:Zirkel der Hubertia Freiburg.jpg == and == File:Wappen des Corps Hubertia Freiburg.jpg
Hi Sfan00 IMG, I contested the deletion of the two files. If I understood the reason for the deletion request right, then the chosen description is not in proper English. If this was not the reason, please let me know what we need to fix; updated info according to these points:
This is (1) the logo / post-nominal of the fraternity Corps Hubertia Freiburg used when members sign e.g. letters of official communication and (2) the crest of the fraternity in color. I updated the meta data and apologize that the original description was an improper translation from German to English.
Please let me know if I fixed the right problem or if the file itself does not load correctly on your PC and you need me to re-upload if (one other reason in the criteria listed is "empty" or "corrupt").
You tagged files File:NMSS1.jpg and File:NMSS2.jpg for copy to commons but they have been replaced by File:NMSS1.svg and File:NMSS2.svg. There is probably no need for the JPG versions to even be kept. (the SVG version s are much nicer than the original JPG versions.) RJFJR (talk) 19:59, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) Well, if so many of the "upload wizards" and forms didn't make it so easy to claim "own work" without enough proper warnings and explanations that it actually has to be your own work, maybe less users would default to the "easy option" and we'd get better initial attributions. We almost encourage it. </rant> Just saying... Begoontalk14:30, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I encourage you to slow down and look more closely at the images. Some of them are obviously copied from elsewhere, and should be nominated for F11 deletion as inadequate evidence of permission or F9 copyright violations. If you could please review the detailed advice you were given in September (now at User talk:Sfan00 IMG/Archive 17#File:Bhagat Singh 1922.jpg) as to how to spot copyright violations, I would really appreciate it. Thanks, -- Diannaa (talk) 15:24, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You just tagged File:MicroStarInternational.svg for deletion but it's obviously PD-text logo. Verno Whitney tagged it as such in October 2012. Then when I decline the speedy deletion, you add a Copy to Commons tag, even though I had already added one just moments before. It's obvious for this file and many others you are not examining them very closely or looking at the page history or you would not be making so many mistakes. -- Diannaa (talk) 16:05, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

According to you (and User:Diannaa) the files File:Redbone1971_b.png and File:Redbone1971.png don't come with proof of CC licensing. They do. If you follow the link provided, you will see so. If you can't read Dutch, fair enough, drag the sentence "Alle afbeeldingen met als bron het archief van Beeld en Geluid, zijn te gebruiken onder Creative Commonslicentie naamsvermelding-gelijkdelen" through Google Translate. By the way, there are hundreds of photographs from that Dutch archive (Beeld en Geluid) on the wiki and Commons, all using the same link I used as proof. I don't see why these two photos are a problem. Yintan13:37, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You have tagged this file as a possible copyright problem. Please explain in detail. I own the jar, the carpet in the background is mine and I took the photo using my camera and I uploaded it within minutes of taking it. Details were given in the metadata.
Thanks Oxonhutch (talk) 15:19, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I cannot see how that is relevant here. I have not copied Peck's artwork - I have photographed a jar that they sold to me in a three-quarter view. I did not design my car, but I can photograph it parked in the street, and I will own the copyright on the photograph; both in Britain and the United States, if I were domiciled there. Oxonhutch (talk) 16:08, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Most packaging artwork is copyright, thusly by taking a photo of it, you've created a derivative work of it. According to some people on Wikipedia, you need the permission of the brand owner to publish packaging artwork, and photos of it (because you create a derivative work.). It's fine as fair use for identifying the product though.Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:37, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I politely disagree. Were I to take the label off the jar and slap reproductions of it around my own jars, I would infringe Mr Peck’s copyright. Were I to remove the label and apply my own label, I would also likely be infringing their copyright as, no doubt, they claim the right on the shape of their bottle – just like Messrs Coca Cola do. If I were to go to Mr Peck’s website and use his artwork for the Project, I would also infringe his copyright.
I am not doing any of that at all. From Mr Peck’s three-dimensional jar of finest fish-paste (and I must add, it is good), I have created a two dimensional image, an image in which not one facet of the jar is planar to the camera. The image per se bears no likeness to Mr Peck’s jar; it is flat and badly distorted by both the geometries of projection and perspective – so distorted that my OCR software does not recognise a single character of a word in the resulting image. Try it yourself.
It is only your human eye and brain that resolves my flat image as a three-dimensional object. Why do you think a captcha is a useful way of discriminating between man and machine? My image is novel; it is not a derivative work.
Back now to Messrs Coca Cola, there is no-one more renowned in the world, I think, for defending their corporate mark, even their bottle shape is protected – you can see photographs of both their bottles and cans on the English Wiki. Rolls-Royce and their famous cars hold copyright on the shape of their radiators and protect their image solidly – remember The Beast? You will find several images of their famous mark on the English wiki. Henry Moore’s statues are copyright to his estate but you will find a feast of photographs of his works on the English wiki. Also, have a look through that darling of the British retail trade The Grocer http://www.thegrocer.co.uk/companies/suppliers/ .
Hi Sfan00,
Regarding your "possibly unfree file" message comment on Fort_Tolukko.jpg, the work is my own and I understood I had labelled it as such when uploading it to wikicommons. I don't understand the problem or how I can solve it. Grateful if you can point me in right direction.

This photograph was taken by me from my camera on 29th October 2013.
The user that uploaded this image has been blocked indefinitely for repeatedly uploading images that violate copyright infringement policy.

Hi Sfan00 - You tagged this file for deletion. "This file is missing evidence of permission." I emailed the photographers approval to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. The photo was taken by Doug Drysdale Photography and we messaged one another on Facebook. Sorry I'm new to wikipedia. Will the copy of our communication emailed into permissions-en@wikimedia.org work to keep the file from being deleted? Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I am Benison.
The image File:Burj Khalifa.jpg was promoted to Featured category a few days ago. It hardly made the way to it as it had a tough nomination process due to its copyright problems. Now the author have asked me whether there is any way to add the image in commons. Is there any? Please let me know. Herald talk with me15:13, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
From the look of it you would need to find out who the architects were and get permission from them. As it stands it cannot be moved over to commons, because of architectural copyrights being different outside the US. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:35, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
File:Alison_MacMillan_Profile.jpg
My mistake... you can go ahead and remove this. The photographer originally gave me permission to use this and is now asking for a fee if it is to be used on Wikipedia.
You recently marked this file I uploaded for deletion and I'd like to prevent this. The post you made on my talk page was quite esoteric and I don't quite understand how to remedy the problem. The image was taken by my grandmother who passed away. I inherited the image so I should be the copyright holder right?
Well, until the authorship is clear or it can be shown it's PD, it's assumed to be copyright (with a 1982 date), regardless of what that website thinks. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 18:42, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It turns out the copyright holder for this photograph, Anthony Timbs, is known (I've updated the information on the file-page). The confusion came because it is unknown who originally snapped the photograph. But since the photograph was made upon request, most likely paid for, and the actual postcard was produced by Anthony 'Tiger' Timbs, who owned the ship at the time, for commercial purposes, I think we can conclude he holds the copyright.
An OTRS ticket has been created and the image has been tagged as such. I will try to contact him, but since I'm told that it may be difficult to get hold of him, it may take some time. Can you give any advice on how to proceed? Refundpolitics (talk) 11:46, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The original claim for use of this logo was under fair use. It has since been marked as being copyright free. I don't know if it is copyright free so I've decided to revert back to the original fair-use claim but leave the copyright free claim in place.
