FOP issue

Latest comment: 17 days ago5 comments3 people in discussion

As freedom of panorama seems to be your interest (per Napranum), then you may wish to go through all the grain silo mural photographs throughout Australia. For instance:

Brim silo, despite the Licensing object cited; and
and images displayed in silo art.

I do not deal in this area of law, and will let you police all this.–Q8682 (talk) 04:59, 17 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

I stick well away (photographing) from the water tower(s)/silos. Some of them it is hard to focus on the structure while keeping the artwork to a minimum (de minimis). They are certainly a FOP issue but also seems odd that rates/tax payer funds is being spent so people can photograph them without having a cause to make them less copyright restrictive.

I know that there was one grain company (GrainCorp) that put commercial restrictions use of silo artwork on its sites. Bidgee (talk) 06:54, 17 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

You are adding category, "Files from Flickr with bad file names" to uploaded files whose "good" names you can create.

Latest comment: 20 days ago3 comments3 people in discussion

Why don't give files with "bad names"- good names, just before you upload these files? As you already know from 10+ years experience, the Flickr2Commons (F2C) tool allows users to add use "prefix selected names" which says, adds a "string to put in front of file name." Adding your files with bad file names, just pushes that name change work to another volunteer. You only get 10 uploads a day. Why not make all those 10 files each day have "good" names?

Ooligan (talk) 00:49, 16 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Because it can avoid potential duplicate uploads that might occur in the future if the files were uploaded en masse using Flickr2Commons. If the identifiers provided by Flickr2Commons are not being used, the likelihood of duplicates increases. To prevent that without uploading new files, using original names helps minimize the occurrence of duplicate, especially when uploading from an album. --A1Cafel (talk) 02:46, 16 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

So keep the parenthetical number, and change the rest of the name. - Jmabel ! talk 18:18, 16 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Please, stop interrupting my edits again.

Your are starting to closely follow and mimic my sequential edits, again. In fact you just interrupted me adding an appropriate PD license to my own recently uploaded files. You have done this repeatedly in the past. I respectfully request that stop this behavior. -- Ooligan (talk) 09:51, 18 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

I respect your request, but I just trace those files in the cat Flickr public domain images needing specific copyright tags. You uploaded those files a few days ago, it is not "closely follow" IMO. Also, Tim Landy and Adeletron 3030 also fix the license, why don't you ask these two users to stop interrupt your uploads? --A1Cafel (talk) 09:54, 18 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

you got your will, i will stop contributing pictures. I guess i am not the first user mobbed out by your fanatical crusade against freedom of panorama. A project dominated by self proclaimed Blockwarts of your sort is completely rotten anyhow. --Arabsalam (talk) Arabsalam (talk) 11:36, 26 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

(talk page stalker) @Arabsalam: I know you didn't address me, but speaking as an admin: if you uploaded images that violate the copyright laws of the country in which they were taken, your appropriate grievance is with those laws, not with someone who noticed you were breaking them and prevented Commons from hosting images that would have legal problems. - Jmabel ! talk 18:18, 26 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

As I said, A1Calafel and his buddy Ikan Kekek can triumph, after almost 14 years and over 3500 uploads I will no longer contribute anything here. I do have a few thousand photos from Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador and Bolivia of places that are not yet represented on Commons, but that is obviously no longer wanted. So I will now try to have as many of my photos uploaded here deleted as possible, ideally all of them. I no longer want to have anything to do with a project whose users get satisfaction from destroying other people's works and proudly display this on their user page. Arabsalam (talk) 19:00, 26 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

(talk page stalker2). Sorry, just had another discussion with ACafel above and happened to read this interesting discussion. I hope you will get to terms with the well meant work of ACafel. And on the your files... if they violate copyright, you are free to nominate them for deletion and admins would really appreciate it. But if you have uploaded the files under a correct licence, it will be rather difficult to delete them, I once tried to help an artist to delete her own files, and her request was denied. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 23:47, 26 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

You're kidding, this guy sees photographers as enemies whose work must be destroyed and floods Commons with junk he scavenges from the internet. This work could also be done by an artificial intelligence. He and his ilk are the gravediggers of this project. --Arabsalam (talk) Arabsalam (talk) 11:33, 27 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
