Files by Pixabay user 12019

edit

This Pixabay user appears to have uploaded works that are not their own. Most are grossly upsampled. Some might be PD from elsewhere. File:Yemin-shipの火災.jpg/File:Burning container ship Hyundai Fortune yemin-ship-76682.jpg (duplicates), for example, is a work of the Royal Netherlands Navy.[1] (Not sure about copyright rules there.) Unless their actual sourcing can be identified and licensing verified, these will have to be deleted.

Also, is there a blacklist for Pixabay and other sites like Commons:Questionable Flickr images/Users? --Paul_012 (talk) 12:59, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • I left a note on the pixabay image I uploaded:
Could you please clarify the copyright status of this image and the other images listed here https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_found_with_Pixabay_12019
I uploaded this one to the wikipedia, and other people uploaded other images you put on pixabay, and then a skeptic came along, and voiced doubts you took all these fine image, yourself.
They claimed their research found this image was taken in 2006 by someone from the Dutch Navy.
  • Paul 012, of course we should have procedures where we decided to blacklist sites. Since there is/was a bot that confirmed Pixabay licenses, similar to flickrreview, I'd like to review that discussion. Please link to that discussion here. Geo Swan (talk) 23:05, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all. They were an absolutely prolific Pixabay uploader. I went through them and foudn other copyvios. It looks like a lot of their uploads are just retouches of photos from elsewhere. For example [7] is from [8]. Some are crazy heavy retouches that are going to evade automated detection. But there's no basis for believing that the license on any of them is valid. --B (talk) 00:49, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I was able to identify the original sources of some; annotated above. --Paul_012 (talk) 02:42, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
