In the Wikipedia article Tijuana Cross-border Terminal I uploaded a series of images that I both produced and created, example File:ASA 1991 Tijuana airport development plan with second runway.jpg plus 12 other images. I created and started the project in 1990 and supplied the majority of the references used including links when possible. This project was reported in the Wall Street Journal on August 1, 2001, in which the project and I were featured (reference 2 with link, Millman, Joe (August 1, 2001). "San Diego Airport May Cross Border". Wall Street Journal. Retrieved 17 November 2014). But a statement was placed on the Commons:deletion request 1.227 from 2014/12/01 "another unique different base map than others in this series, leading to the obvious conclusion that not all these maps were prepared by one person." This work was done over an 8 year period, when it started in 1989, most advanced computer program was CADD, by 1996, computer programs had advanced by 6 generations. Supplied names, dates and newspaper references, copy written material with the US Tx reference, represented the project before the San Diego Airport Authority and was actually the project manager in Mexico and initiated all the land negotiations, for all that work, images were required. I previously requested clarification if I could use the cover of the booklet I wrote and produced for GAP which owns the Tijuana airport and was notified by this Wikipedia page that I could not since it belongs to GAP, but what I uploaded and created was my own personal material and never was the property of GAP or anyone else. The statement in the deletion request claims the "obvious conclusion" that this is not my work without even looking at the supporting references is disturbing. This Wikipedia article has been up since September and be seen by over 6,000 viewers. I tried to follow the outline of the Wiki upload but now the claim is that I do not hold a copyright over my own material Rnieders ( talk) 15:18, 2 December 2014 (UTC).
1) Are these images:
Trail Ridge Road - elevation profile, ft mi.gif
Trail Ridge Road - elevation profile, m km.gif
in accordance with Google Maps/Google Earth APIs Terms of Service:
https://developers.google.com/maps/terms ?
Because they were created using elevation values retrieved into a table using Google Maps API and JavaScript (for custom latitude and longitude values). Normally these values can be used to create graphs (elevation profiles) in websites:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/elevation-paths
but in this case they were put into a table (instead of making a graph) created using JavaScript in a HTML file on the hard disk, copied with mouse and used to create graphs for Wikipedia. So creating charts is allowed, but in this case they were created in different way (from retrieved "crude" numerical data) and published apart from a map.
2) similar question regarding these files:
Trail Ridge Road map small.gif
Trail Ridge Road map.gif
Trail Ridge Road map north.gif
but in this case only some of lines were created clicking with the mouse along some features visible in the Google Earth, more or less accurately (using Google Earth as background), other lines were created using overlays displayed in Google Earth but not belonging to Google Earth. All these paths were saved as KML file and used to create these maps.

Hi there. I'm carrying out the Good Article review for Black Eye (album) and a question about one of the images it contains has arisen. (I'm no expert on images/licensing myself). At the commons page for File:CBGB club facade.jpg, there are a couple of big pink notices that worry me - is this image suitable for use in a for a Good Article?

I'm looking for an image to use in the Combat Zone, Boston article, so I searched Google Images for "Images labeled for reuse with modification" and this image came up in the results:
It appears on this web page: http://www.caboosebooks.net/node/92
It's perfect for the article, and according to Google it should be okay to use, but I don't know how they determine that an image is "Labeled for reuse with modification" and I'm skeptical. Can you shed any light on this? Thanks. -- Rosekelleher ( talk) 17:32, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Ive got a great picture of Cold 187um from the music video for Murder Rap. Cold 187um has no picture on his article and I firmly believe that this would be a good picture for the info box.

So we've got a page for Max Bernhard Weinstein (a German physicist and philosopher who ill-fatedly disputed the Theory of Relativity and examined Pandeism in the 1910s, and died in 1918). I noticed that the page on German Wikipedia for this same guy, de:Max Bernhard Weinstein, has a pic of him, assuredly taken in 1910. I've searched high and low and this pic and one other very much like it, but lower quality, found on the same website, are the only pics of this person which seem to exist. It doesn't seem sensible to me that this would be usable on the German page and not be fair use or something to use here. I mean, it is a 100+ year old picture of a guy whose interest is likely limited to the educational value that our page offers. DeistCosmos ( talk) 04:32, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

There's a clever (black and white) illustration of a glow discharge; it shows the glow discharge tube (with names of the electrodes and discharge regions) above and graphs of 7 significant parameters below that use the same x coordinate. The arrangement of the family of graphs is clever. The image is found at (sorry, I don't have a web accessible version)
Another book, Applied Electronics, 1943, John Wiley, reproduces the image at page 145 (figure 12, Appearance, nomenclature, and distribution of quantities in a glow discharge) and states it is reproducing the image with permission with a full citation to Loeb. (Google has a snippet view of the next edition, but it doesn't show the graph.)
Commons has a similar an SVG version at File:Huumlahendus karakteristikud.svg. (22 January 2012) (Name is Estonian for "Glow discharge characteristics".) The glow discharge tube is stylized but regions are not marked; it graphs 4 parameters below the tube schematic; individual charges and currents are not plotted. It adds a negative glow line. (Valdmann, own work, Public domain.)
Commons has a similar color illustration at File:Huumlahendus karakteristikud.png. (23 January 2012) It drops the negative glow line but is otherwise the same as the SVG. It is by the same SVG author. (Valdmann, own work, CC Attribute Share 3.0)
Commons has a similar color illustration at File:Glow discharge structure - English.svg. (24 October 2013) It graphs 6 parameters (light intensity is not graphed), but puts them on three dual-plots. There are small differences in the plotted values. It has both a negative glow line and an anode glow line. (Chetvorno, own work, Public domain.)
Do these diagrams infringe Loeb? Chetvorno cannot infringe Valdmann because Valdmann's SVG disavows copyright, but if Valdmann infringes Loeb, then it seems that all illustrations infringe.
Loeb's graphs provide data; there are small variations from Loeb's graphs (e.g., Loeb's intensity does not go to zero at anode; Loeb has field strength inflection point near cathode), but the shapes are remarkably similar.

Hi,
I made a collage of photos and included a photo from a google search that I hadn't realised was originally posted on wiki and the photographer has asked for permission to be given to use the photo. As I didn't take the photo direct from wiki I never saw this request from the photographer. The photo has not been on my website for 2 months and I just received an email today asking for me to pay $200 for the use of the photo from the photographer. It was an honest mistake on my part, and I am no longer using the photo. I also am not sure where he came up with the figure of $200 as that seems excessive considering I could buy a photo from shutter stock for $10. I am wondering if this is a scam. Please can you help. Thank you! 32.209.240.166 ( talk) 13:21, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
Polish cryptographers developed the Cyclometer in the 1930s. The machine was destroyed when the Germans invaded Poland, so few people have seen the real thing. After the war, Lisicki befriended Marian Rejewski (one of the surviving cryptographers) and got information about the Polish machine. Lisicki published a chapter in a 1979 book that included an illustration of the machine; Lisicki is credited with the reconstruction. That chapter is republished with permission here; see figure at page 78. A Rejewski published an article in 1980 that includes a very similar illustration of the machine (uncredited); a translation was published by the IEEE in 1981; IEEE republished here see p. 224, figure 5.
WP has a drawing of the Cyclometer claiming public domain: file:Cyclometer4.png. It seems that this drawing must be a derivative work of either Rejewski (Rejewski is the source of the machine's appearance) or Lisicki.

I have an image on wikapedia but I'm unsure of which license I I should use. I gathered all the information and images myself on the image. The images on the image are from google search, the image itself was created on Microscoft powerpoint but I wasn't allowed to put a pptx file on wikapedia so I used a tool called snip get an image of it turning it into a PNG file. The information on the poster I wrote some my own words, some in my own words but from secondary resouces and some from secondary resources. So which licence should I use?

I'm not sure if we're allowed to upload portraits of politicians from parliamentary websites? If we can, what license does it go under?
This was what the policy was when I checked out the disclaimers.

Greetings. The above file is stated to be of shells taken in 1916 in World War 1 in the British United Shoe Machinery factory in Leicester. It was scanned from Iain Howie's book Serving the Shoemaker for 100 years ISBN0 9536531 0 2 published which itself acknowledges the Leicester Mercury library. I believe the Leicester Mercury or the marketing department have taken all the photos except possibly ones taken for There are no details of the photographer and no copyright makings. Given the factory has gone & its workforce dissipated, I don't see any likelihood of unequivocal proof that this was never copyrighted. However I believe :-

Hi, I uploaded a PDF of a copy made of a copy of a copy of this family tree. The person I got it from and her family has passed away years ago. She was allowed to photo copy the image from the homeowner who had a framed copy on her wall. That's the best I know. The latest date I can find on the sketch is a 1981 entry in the upper left corner.
I'm beginning to wonder if I did this right. I'm trying to find an original copy https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Copy_of_family_tree_sketch_John_Gustin_1586-1981_Inc_James_Calvin_Sly.PDF
