File:Nuremberg movie poster (2025).jpg

File:Nuremberg movie poster (2025).jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Move a page (October 2025)

Hello Yann! Can you please move Category:Indian Space Research Organisation to Category:ISRO, per the article title at Wikipedia (ISRO). It would be helpful. Thanks and regards! – 𝙰𝚔𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚟™ 🗿 05:15, 3 October 2025 (UTC)

@Akshadev: You can do it yourself from User:CommonsDelinker/commands. Yann (talk) 15:32, 3 October 2025 (UTC)

Promote a media to commons homepage

Hai, Yann, I am Ranjithsiji. We met in a copyright workshop in Banglore. Is there any procedure to make a Featured Media into the commons home page. I recently got one of my media FM. Thanks. Ranjithsiji (talk) 06:09, 3 October 2025 (UTC)

@Ranjithsiji: You can add it to Commons:Media of the day. Yann (talk) 15:30, 3 October 2025 (UTC)

Image deletion

Hi Yann, about a month ago you requested my uploaded images to be deleted because they didn't had a reliable license. However, I am definitely sure that none of those images are copyrighted and some of them were made by myself. How can i bring them back and make sure they are not deleted again? Thanks. Adlogog (talk) 15:27, 3 October 2025 (UTC)

@Adlogog: None of your files had the proper information. There are either missing sources (like File:TurkishLanguageFinal.png or File:Deliorman.png, where did you get these?) or are plain copyright violations (like File:Susurluk-Kazası.webp). You claim File:Starsofblood.jpg. is your own work, but this is doubtful (do you have the original image to prove that?). Yann (talk) 15:38, 3 October 2025 (UTC)

Regarding file File:мамочка.png

Hi. The author of the photo is my father. He uses yahoo.co.uk but never was abroad - he has made UK account because his student from India adviced him - as a tool to increase sales of his original art. His name Mickola Vorokhta, he is in Bukovina (Ukraine region) right now because of ARTACT triennale but will be back to Odesa (Ukrainian city) tomorrow morning. You can google him and he has an article about him on Wiki. I am Yurii Vorokhta, his son. I scanned this photo but he is the author indeed. He already wrote to permissions-commons and during last three months nobody touched this photo. Please advise Ethan Hawley (talk) 11:23, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Author's profile at FB: https://www.facebook.com/mickola.vorokhta - he is in Ukraine - you could see his last messages. BR Ethan Hawley (talk) 11:39, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

@Ethan Hawley: Apparently there is a pending permission (ticket:2025071410001565). I am not a VRT agent, so I can't see the ticket. Please ask on COM:VRTN if you have questions about this. Thanks, Yann (talk) 13:05, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

I has written them. But on the warning your name is indicated - or someone is using zour profile? Ethan Hawley (talk) 14:36, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

@Ethan Hawley: Which warning? Yann (talk) 14:37, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Ethan Hawley (talk) 14:40, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

@Ethan Hawley: Well, this is not a warning. I added this template when you requested undeletion here: Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2025-10#File:Мамочка.png. Yann (talk) 14:49, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for explanation. I apologise for my stupidity Ethan Hawley (talk) 15:00, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Uploading a photo

Dear Yann, the picture I uploaded is CC BY licensed. So, I think I did not violate copyright regulations. 1textauthor! (talk) 16:08, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

@1textauthor!: Who is the photographer? Yann (talk) 16:09, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

It is an official picture uploaded to the homepage of the university. And there, it is written in English that the image is licensed under CC BY. So, I think there is no violation of the copyright. This is so unfair. 1textauthor! (talk) 16:14, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

look here: https://alm-itbf.marmara.edu.tr/akademik-kadro2 1textauthor! (talk) 16:15, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

@1textauthor!: A Creative Commons license must have an author. Being an official picture doesn't put it under a free license. Please ask the copyright holder to send a permission via COM:VRT. Thanks, Yann (talk) 16:17, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

File:Erik_Reitzel-Nielsen_(1908-1997).jpg

@Yann: As I have stated in connection with my upload of this photo of Erik Reitzel-Nielsen I consider it to be in the public domain with no copyright just like the similar photo File:Hans_Carl_Bryld.png uploaded by me in September and now accepted by Wikimedia Commons. I refer to this undeletion processː Commons:Undeletion requests/Current requests#File:Hans Carl Bryld.png. The result of this process was that the photo of Bryld which had been nominated for deletion by you and subsequently was in fact deleted from Wikimedia Commons was undeleted - by you as I understand it. It is therefore astonishing that I am once again confronted with a nomination by you regarding deletion of this photo of Reitzel-Nielsen as it is indeed quite similar regarding time as well as lack of artistic merit as the photo of Bryld. According to Danish law on copyright the rights to a photograph only remain with the photographer for 50 years after the photo was taken as long as the photo cannot be considered to constitute a genuine work of art which is definitely not the case for the photo now in question. Accordingly the photo is clearly in the public domain in Denmark. As the photo of Bryld was accepted by Wikimedia Commons I presume that there is no issue either in relation to US copyright legislation regarding the photo of Reitzel-Nielsen. If there is an issue I would be grateful for specific information on the nature of the problem. Yours sincerely Moj1948 (talk) 18:30, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

@Moj1948: Hi, OK fine. You didn't add a license when you uploaded the file. When you fix the license, you can remove the warning. I did it for you this time. Yann (talk) 18:43, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

Raisa Vasilyeva

Articles in multiple languages deemed a cross-wiki hoax and deleted, but there's plenty files in Category:Raisa Vasilyeva, I'm unsure how to proceed, thanks in advance. TherasTaneel (talk) 19:58, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

@TherasTaneel: Hi, I deleted most of the files uploaded by globally locked users. For the last, you should open a request for check user on Commons, or on Meta. And you can request a deletion with some arguments. I will help if all users are blocked or locked. For the articles, you have to request deletion of each project.

Gibellina - Piazza del Comune

Hi Yann, thank you for the undeletion of File:Gibellina - Piazza del Comune 2.jpg. I just wanted to point out that I didn't know that in the image it was depicted also the sculpture by Mimmo Rotella on the right (the rock wheel). The sculpture is AFAIK still under copyright. If it is de minimis for you then no problem, but I just wanted to make sure that there was no misunderstanding on the matter... Friniate (talk) 21:49, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

@Friniate: It can be cropped out. Yann (talk) 14:23, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

you're right... I've added the relevant license templates for the building. Friniate (talk) 14:52, 13 October 2025 (UTC)
