File source problem with File:Wayne State University Philosophy Department 1963.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Wayne State University Philosophy Department 1963.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Hi, Magog the ogre. I have little faith that anything I type here will make any difference. I uploaded a file before, got a warning about the file contents that was worded ambiguously and ungrammatically (you can read it yourself - it's about the Finnish sheet music I posted). It said among other things that that file was not an image, which it clearly was. I responded by pointing out that the warning was incorrect in all three of its claims, but that did not make any difference - the image is gone now, deleted.

In the current case, you claim that the image of Edmund Gettier and colleagues "description page currently doesn't specify who created the content" but this is incorrect, or at least ambiguous. When I go to the file description page as you suggest, there is nowhere (such as a box to fill in) that says "creator." There is a place for "author" and that is where I put "Wayne State University." The image was created by a photographer employed by Wayne State University.

As for copyright, this photo was published without copyright notice before 1977, which according to this site:

  https://copyright.cornell.edu/resources/publicdomain.cfm

and others, means that it fell immediately into the public domain.

I have zero confidence, as I said, that what I am writing here will make any difference. The fact that you direct me to a page where there is no place to enter the information you say is required, is Kafka-esque. Stating a demand but not providing a way of fulfilling that demand - well, the intent or at least the implication is kind of obvious. In addition, the warning notice says that there is no source information, but that is clearly false as anyone can see - the "Source" tag or box on the page is not empty - it says "Wayne State University."

Nor is there any way for me to respond to you and I suppose that nobody will actually read these words. It does seem that the process is automated and I have no clue (there's no "click here" for example) how one inserts information into this workflow, if that is what you call it.

Hi LeoHeska. As an FYI, when you respond to these notices here, it is, as you correctly pointed out, highly unlikely that anyone will notice. The image deletion discussion -- Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2015_February_14#File:Wayne_State_University_Philosophy_Department_1963.jpg -- is the best place to post information about this image. You are entirely correct that if the image was published prior to 1977, it is immediately and eternally public domain. The question it, where was it published? Was it published in a yearbook? (That is often a good place to find public domain photos as most schools didn't bother with the copyright formalities.) We need to know where it was published - not just that it was created prior to 1977. If, for example, you took a photo in 1963 and it sat in your private photo album that you have never published, it remains subject to copyright protection. (I see, from using google, that the image is currently available at [1]. It is always important, if uploading a file that you obtained from an internet source, to give the exact URL where it can be found. I have edited the image description page to do so.) --B (talk) 01:28, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
