Note about my deletions

If you think I made a wrong decision about deletion of a file, please think about your motivation and ask for undeletion on COM:UNDELETE. Another admin will decide on the matter. It is appreciated if you ping me, so I can get new insights. Thanks Ellywa (talk) 15:59, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

File:The Song of the Twenty-Ninth Division.wav and File:The_Song_of_the_Twenty-Ninth_Division.webm

Hi, I just noticed that back in July, you deleted a video and recording of "The Song of the 29th Division", which I uploaded earlier this year. I don't routinely check my articles, so am just seeing it now. Just so you are aware, there are four elements to this production.

The first is the music itself. It was originally published in 1918 by Boosey & Co. to support the (WWI) war effort with the proviso that “this song may be sung in public without fee or license.”

Secondly, with regards to the performance itself, I commissioned (and paid for it) with all three artists having given me their permission (in writing) to publish the recording online and to cite their names, which I did.

And finally, the video I produced myself, with all photo sources credited.

Would be grateful, therefore, if you would undelete.

Thanks. JPS2012 (talk) 17:02, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi JPS2012, great to read you have permission of the performing artists. It will be possible to undelete the file if some things are fixed.

1. the copyright of the music should be checked against the COM:Hirtle Chart. Performing without fee is not the same as public domain. A difference is that anyone can change the music at will in case of PD or CCBYSA.
2. please send the permission of the musicians to the VRTsystem. The procedure is described on COM:VRT. The VRT agent will request undeletion probably when permission is convincing.
3. Regarding photo credits. I do not remember now, but the images you used should also be in PD or licensed with CCBYSA. Please check this. Only crediting is not sufficient. The first file has WAV format. So there are no images associated. This is only necessary for the video.

Hope this will be helpfull. Regards, Ellywa (talk) 21:46, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi JPS2012, on the VRT system your email has been received, Ticket:2022111110008169. I suppose one of the agents will answer. Please be a bit patient, because we are receiving very many messages. Thanks, Ellywa (talk) 22:43, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. No rush on my part; as I noted, I wasn't even aware the music had been taken down until recently. Best, John JPS2012 (talk) 21:37, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Commons:Village_pump/Copyright#MRC_National_Institute_for_Medical_Research_photos

Per this, could you undo the Brigid M Balfour deletion, and all related files? Really, all of the SHopkins uploads probably should be undeleted, but we can start there. Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:35, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Adam Cuerden, in my deletion motivation Commons:Deletion requests/Brigid M. Balfour photos I wrote that these photos were the last few of a long list of deleted images (in 2018), and that "the whole bunch can be reconsiderd for undeletion". Your last statement, "But it's also some evidence that they were acting as a MRC employee" is insufficient evidence to show these photos are in PD. My suggestion would be to discuss all deleted images uploaded in 2013 by User talk:SHopkins1 on COM:UDR. The list can be seen here. I think you can copy the discussion of the Village pump to the UDR page, to avoid uneccessary work. On COM:UDR one of the admins will decide on this. Could be me, could be someone else. Regards, Ellywa (talk) 21:13, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Олександр М., thank you for providing the link to the source page, which is indeed showing the CCBYSA4.0 licence. On this basis, I could undelete the files, and I restored them on ru:Участник:Олександр_М./Черновик/1. I corrected the source and licencing on the file pages. The original source page is not available, https://rv.dsns.gov.ua/ua/Nadzvichayni-podiyi/12815.html and the original license is not valid for images. But CCBYSA4.0 is valid of course.

Commons:Deletion requests/File:MojahedEnglish-No4.pdf

Hi. Regarding that discussion, I wanted to mention that this work will be subject to the second condition mentioned in Article 16 (Template:PD-Iran: "work belongs to a legal person or rights are transferred to a legal person"). So any work, regardless of its medium, will be in public domain 30 years after publication if the copyright holder is an organization (it doesn't have to be a picture). Also, we have a consensus that Iranian law only protects text that is "knowledge, art or innovation". [1]. Best regards, HeminKurdistan (talk) 18:19, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

@HeminKurdistan: Please note the text on the top of this page about my decisions about deletion. And if going for an undeletion request, think how you would show evidence who is the holder of the copyright of this text. This is not clear at all imho. Ellywa (talk) 20:35, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you. HeminKurdistan (talk) 21:18, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
