Savannah State Logo

I initiated a discussion at WP:MCQ regarding your last change over concerns that it may meet the threshold of originality, which, of course, you are welcome to join in. Thanks! – Connormah (talk) 01:44, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Its all a mess up. I meant to change it from an SVG to a PNG because SVG logos have the copyright from the logo and the copyright of the SVG file. I nominated the Commons upload for deletion: Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Savannah State University Logo.png. I don't believe there is any need for discussion. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 01:48, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Also see withdrawn discussion here: Misplaced Pages:Non-free_content_review#File:Savannah_State_University_Logo.svg. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 01:49, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

SVGs as far as I know do not have separate copyights -- whoever owns the rights to the logo I think has it. I'm not too sure that the file format makes a difference from my experiences. Could you post that at MCQ? It seems that the issues here would be the design and not the typefaces (which do pass as PD-text, I think, but irrelevant) – Connormah (talk) 04:43, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

SVGs are created in code (much like computer software) and like software the code is copyright the creator. See Adobe Systems, Inc. v. Southern Software, Inc. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 04:49, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

The thing is, the PNG is almost certainly based off a vector image, which was created by whoever designed the logo. So I'm not sure. – Connormah (talk) 01:12, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

A request

Hi, there has been a complaint about your closure of this discussion. Would you mind closing each image discussion separately in case different criteria apply? For example, some may have critical commentary noted on the image pages and some may not, and in the case of those that do, you would need to explain why it was inadequate. Having these closed separately would make it easier for others to see what's what, and would help the uploader to work out what he needs to do to have them kept. Many thanks, SlimVirgin 01:48, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

In progress, although the discussion was mostly a general one, I will explain the more specifics. I've also commented on your talkpage. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 02:26, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Question on use of record label scans

Hi, looks like you approved a record label scan for use at Jerden Records but not at Flip Records (1950s). Seems like a label scan should be permitted to illustrate the record label layout, credits, numbering system, etc., and a quick survey shows that many other record labels are illustrated in this way. Why was the Flip example rejected? Thanks! Relbats (talk) 13:38, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

If there is disputes about use of non-free content, the discussion is taken to WP:NFCR. There was a discussion for each image individually. I simply closed each discussion and therefore my name is attached to the images. One discussion only focused on the fair use rationals (specifically on the image for Jerden Records) see discussion here whereas the other discussion focused on the criteria at WP:NFCC (discussion here. To be honest, the Jerden Records image probably fails the same issues the Flip Records image does. But, in the same breath, the Jerden image is probably in the public domain as {{PD-ineligible}} and the other one may be as well. I know this has opened more questions than given you answers, but I hope it is a start. If you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 20:38, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

File:McCann right eye.jpg

Hi, I'm wondering whether your closure of the above reflected consensus, and would appreciate it if you'd take a second look. Werieth initiated the discussion, and six others commented – in order, Stefan2, Masem, SlimVirgin, Betty Logan, Stfg and Evrik. Four wanted to keep and three remove.

The image was used in this section of the article, Disappearance of Madeleine McCann, where the significance of the image is discussed, supported by sources that discuss it. See the image page for more sources.

The discussion of the image in the article serves to satisfy (it seems to me) section 4.1.3, point 9 ("Images that are themselves subject of commentary"), of the non-free guideline, and whether the image might be said to have iconic status (4.1.3, point 8). So from both a guideline/policy perspective, and a consensus perspective, I'm not sure your closure was correct. Many thanks, SlimVirgin 00:45, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
