File:Ritratto di Carlo D'Adda.jpg

Hi, Could you restore this 19th century portrait for me? I would need it for an entry 2.196.42.45 22:32, 10 August 2025 (UTC)

I direct you to COM:UNDEL with argument why it may be public domain. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 22:36, 10 August 2025 (UTC)

File:Homeland party logo.jpg

Hi, I saw this file was deleted a day ago. I am struggling to understand the reasoning here. You state 'this is creative enough to be copyrighted in the UK'. Does that mean all other political party logos, such as 'File:Reform UK BBC Logo.svg' and 'File:Flag of Patriotic Alternative.svg' also fall under the same reasoning? If not, please could you clarify what makes those different from this case?

Many thanks Rocky2459 (talk) 17:12, 13 August 2025 (UTC)

An arrow (which is just a rectangle and a triangle; as in File:Reform UK BBC Logo.svg) is too simple to qualify for copyright protection (see {{PD-textlogo}} or {{PD-simple}}}), while a more creatively designed emblem, such as the stylised depiction of a castle in the Homeland Party logo, can meet the threshold. The subject matter is irrelevant — what matters is the level of creative expression in the design. In the same way, a single word cannot be copyrighted, but a book can. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 17:42, 13 August 2025 (UTC)

Many thanks for the quick reply. Interesting.

One final question: I can see an example of a logo that seems to meet the threshold for copyright protection you described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hope_not_hate.svg

Would that qualify for deletion as a result, or is there a different set of rules that apply for that particular case? If so, could those rules not also apply in this case? Rocky2459 (talk) 17:57, 13 August 2025 (UTC)

That file is not hosted on Wikimedia Commons, but on the English Wikipedia. It does not claim to be freely licensed or public domain. Instead, it is used there under the English Wikipedia's policy on non-free content, specifically under a "fair use" rationale. Commons does not permit fair use files at all, everything here must be freely licensed and usable for any purpose (including commercial use and derivative works). English Wikipedia, however, allows limited non-free use of low-resolution images when no free equivalent exists and when the image is used in a way that meets their non-free content criteria (see en:Wikipedia:Non-free_content). That is why the "Hope not Hate" logo can be hosted locally on English Wikipedia but not here on Commons, and why the Homeland Party logo, which met the copyright threshold in the UK, had to be deleted from Commons. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 18:03, 13 August 2025 (UTC)

Ahhh, that explains it. Many thanks for clarifying. Rocky2459 (talk) 18:16, 13 August 2025 (UTC)

Then it is in the queue to be reviewed by a VRT agent - there is currently a slight backlog on responding to tickets, so it may take a few days. I just did the "first response" asking for clarifications. If it is accepted, a VRT agent will note that on the file page. If not, a VRT agent will reply to the person who emailed. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 16:17, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

Question about photo you deleted

Hi Jonatan. You recently deleted this photo: 21:19, 18 August 2025 Josve05a talk contribs deleted page File:Friederike Baer.png

I an a novice user here, so I am not sure of the process. But the photo was taken by Baer's son-in-law, who was credited under the photo and whose permission I had to use it. Can you help me understand what I need to do to use the image.

Thank you. Winterabend Eliswinterabend (talk) 14:50, 20 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi there! Since the image were published elsewhere online prior to the upload here (and the fact that you are not the copyright holder), we can't simply "trust" your word - we need COM:EVIDENCE that the copyright holder wishes to icense this work under a free license. They can email the volunteer response team to supply this, preferable using the form here: Commons:Wikimedia VRT release generator.

If you are the copyright holder, please email our permissions verification team (VRT).→

Also, there were no credit to the photographer on the description page of the photo, instead it stated "own work" and your username as the author. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 15:31, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
