Renommage Berthe Morisot

Bonjour, et merci de votre réponse positive qui va dans le sens du respect dû à l'œuvre et à l'artiste Cordiales pensées Léah 30 (talk) 12:41, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Léah 30: Bonjour,
Je sais, pour avoir travaillé sur les oeuvres d'un peintre français, que c'est difficile de s'y retrouver quand le nom du fichier ne correspond pas au nom du tableau. Merci pour votre travail. Yann (talk) 13:05, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Désolée je n'y arrive pas ;) après avoir trouvé la licence en mode modifications, je remplace par crochet crochet PD-Art|PD-old-100-expired}} certes, mais après ? où mettre le titre exact ? si vous m'envoyez juste le lien d'une de vos pages Cézanne modifiée avec la démarche ça m'aiderait (je consulterai l'historique) merci ! Léah 30 (talk) 13:33, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Merci de vos interventions auprès de Mdaniels ! j'ai trouvé une parade provisoire en modifiant la page principale du Catalogue raisonné : ajouter les titres exacts à côté des n° ; mais comment intervenir, auprès de qui, pour que les critères de renommage changent définitivement quand il s'agit d'œuvres artistiques, littéraires, universitaires industrielles ou artisanales ? dès lors qu'il y a dépôt de l'œuvre et reconnaissance de ce titre ? (je sais, on a osé renommé les Dix petits nègres hélas, mais c'est une autre histoire) Avancer que remettre une capitale à Valenciennes, que tout le monde écrit ainsi, n'est pas admis par les critères c'est vraiment excessif Léah 30 (talk) 08:38, 2 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Léah 30: Comme ça : [1]. Yann (talk) 13:41, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Merci cette manip c'est bon ; mais la suite ? je vois que vous avez fait des re-directions mais je ne sais pas faire ;) et pour le nouveau titre ? je re-demande des renommages ? merci, vraiment, de voler à mon secours ! Léah 30 (talk) 15:37, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Bonjour ! au musée de Bagnols sur Cèze on peut voir ce tableau du Port de Boulogne ; qui est en fait intitulé L'entrée du port, peint à... Fécamp (je me réfère au catalogue raisonné Bataille et Wildstein, qui fait autorité puisqu'établi sur les indications de Julie Manet la fille de l'artiste.

Bonsoir, j'essaie en vain de créer des redirections ; je sais faire en principe sur wikipedia mais pas ici ; je saisis qu'il faut ouvrir une nouvelle page et insérer le hastag rediriger (du wikicode) avec l'adresse de lla File à "récupérer" mais je ne sais pas ouvrir une nouvelle page ? merci merci de m'indiquer la démarche, l'aide ne m'aide... à rien Léah 30 (talk) 00:35, 1 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Yann

I notice you uploaded a video which I was previously extracting images from (e.g. File:Ueli Steck Les Drus "North Couloir Direct" (VI, Al 6+, M8) 5 (cropped).png). I didn't know videos could be uploaded, and that they could be 'Featured'. There are at least two other videos in the Petzl climbing series that are also license free here and here, that might be worth uploading? thanks. Aszx5000 (talk) 20:37, 1 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Aszx5000: Ah yes, thanks a lot! Yann (talk) 22:09, 1 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Here they are: File:Flatanger - Daniel Woods and Dave Graham’s Return to sport climbing in Norway.webm, File:Ice climbing - The SITTA project outtakes.webm.
You can upload videos easily with Commons:video2commons. Yann (talk) 22:50, 1 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Title of photo of the government office in The Hague housing the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security and Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations

Dear Yann, I saw that you had changed the title of my photo to File:Government office in The Hague housing the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security (2019).jpg. However, this is an incomplete title. In fact, they are two different ministries: the Ministry of Justice and Security and the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations. Could you change the title? Or else do you know a better title? Kind regards, S. Perquin (talk) 17:38, 4 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@S. Perquin: Hi, You wrote that the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security is in the middle, so it is the main subject of the picture. Yann (talk) 17:42, 4 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Dear Yann, you're right about that! I hadn't thought about that yet! 😄 Thanks for the renaming! Kind regards, S. Perquin (talk) 17:44, 4 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Gaza City, Palestine 2020.jpg

As you closed this DR on grounds that it was graffiti, I was wondering if you could comment on the concerns that it was a derivative work of the George Floyd selfie, which is a separate issue. IronGargoyle (talk) 10:29, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Well, this is a borderline case, but I don't think that deleting this would protect anyone's copyright. Yann (talk) 13:16, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Are his heirs not the copyright holders of the image? You say it is a borderline case (it seems a pretty clear derivative to me though). Does that not fall within COM:PRP then? IronGargoyle (talk) 18:12, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
There could be several legal justifications for keeping this image, but I am mainly interested by the moral one. George Floyd selfie is only one possible source, or it could be just a portrait resembling him. One could also says that our image is not a direct derivative work, and that the artist had the right to use the image of George Floyd, whatever it was. As Giraudoux said There is no better way of exercising the imagination than the study of law. No poet ever interpreted nature as freely as a lawyer interprets the truth. Legal experts will find every possible reasons to keep or to delete it. But deleting this would be a terrible mistake, contrary to everything what Wikimedia stands for: knowledge, equity, truth, justice, etc. Yann (talk) 19:29, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Can you please provide the legal justifications? I am troubled by your nod to "knowledge, equity, truth, justice" (mostly words that do not appear in the Wikimedia Foundation mission). It makes it appear that you more interested in advocating for a particular political agenda with your role of administrator than maintaining Commons as a source of freely licensed educational material. And how moral is it to deprive the Floyd heirs of their right to control the disposition of Floyd's creative work? IronGargoyle (talk) 22:57, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Reading your reply again, I think now the two sentences: "George Floyd selfie is only one possible source, or it could be just a portrait resembling him. One could also says that our image is not a direct derivative work, and that the artist had the right to use the image of George Floyd, whatever it was." is you legal justification right? I was too focused on your first statement about the importance of the moral argument. Let me talk through your legal argument then: If the work is derivative of something else, it is still likely a derivative work. Do we really think the Palestinian muralist met George Floyd in life? Or contacted the family of George Floyd to obtain permission? Both possibilities are very unlikely and that means this image falls afoul of COM:PRP. IronGargoyle (talk) 02:24, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
I am aware, yes. Some (including this one) are derivative of the famous George Floyd selfie. Not all of those should be deleted. Some of the derivative works are either de minimis or in jurisdictions which allow freedom of panorama for murals. This particular mural fits neither criteria. IronGargoyle (talk) 02:00, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Just my opinion, but the mural and selfie look nothing like each other. The mural has more shading and they are from different angles. So I don't see how anyone could argue they are derivatives. Otherwise you'd have to argue any or all images of George Floyd are inherently copyrighted because you can't have an image of his face that doesn't somehow look similar to the selfie due to how generic it looks. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:11, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

All moot

The photograph itself was a Flickrwashed blatant copyright violation of a photograph by Mohammed Salem/REUTERS. See https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/10/israel-hamas-war-black-struggle.html. I have deleted it as such. IronGargoyle (talk) 04:56, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

OK, fine. I updated the deletion request. Yann (talk) 08:47, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Prototyperspective: Hi, This is a 1921 film, and the author died in 1947, so it is in the public domain in Germany and in USA. Yann (talk) 12:53, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, aware of that but if you play the actual file, you'll see that it's actually a recently-made documentary video about the film, not the film itself. Prototyperspective (talk) 13:33, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Old Ironsides

Can you undelete File:Old Ironsides (1926).webm today just so I can investigate the cause of the issue? I don't have the local file anymore, and I'd at least like some access. The issue has to do with the fact that certain video files are very much not empty, but that Commons incorrectly says that they are "0 bytes", and therefore the video player doesn't work properly with them. (The video will still play, but you can't go backwards or forwards.) I wonder if this is similar to a common issue with PDFs that often causes them to register as "0 bytes" as well, which purging the cache enough times helps fix.

Plus, I am going to upload a new version in its place tomorrow anyway so please undelete so I can investigate. SnowyCinema (talk) 02:55, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@SnowyCinema: Hi,
This file has 0 pixel and 0 byte. I will also upload a HR version soon (1080p). Do you really need this file? Thanks, Yann (talk) 08:05, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
I have the same HD version locally, so I could upload it too, if you undelete this file I'd like it in the revision history, so I can see exactly what happened, thanks. (What I want to do is to make a Bot proposal to fix every file like this because there are actually not a few.) SnowyCinema (talk) 14:02, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
@SnowyCinema: Ok, done. Yann (talk) 14:07, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
The issue seems to be that the metadata (text data about the video) is either missing, corrupted, or not being properly read by Commons. It therefore isn't reading the bit rate, since the bit rate is specified in this metadata apparently. But the video itself seems okay. It even plays correctly unlike what I originally thought...
