File:Preferred logo.jpg
Any suggestion, or reason, for requesting a move of File:Preferred logo.jpg? © Tbhotch™ (en-2.5). 05:54, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- The name isn't descriptive: the filename suggests that it is the preferred logo of an entity, but leaves no information on which entity this is. Or it could be seen as misleading, if you think that it is the logo of an entity called 'Preferred'. Not what you'd usually call something, but companies sometimes choose stupid names. The file itself contains the name of two entities: Hibernian FC and Capital City Service. The image is used in the article Capital City Service, but is unsourced (I don't think that we should trust a 'PD-self' claim for logos) and the entity doesn't seem to have a website (or at least I can't easily find one on Google, and there's no website mentioned in the article), so I can't tell if the logo actually belongs to Capital City Service or not. --Stefan2 (talk) 09:51, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- I was referring to it because it appears at Category:Incomplete file renaming requests. For what I looked up on Google, the image is not the official logo, probably it is this one. © Tbhotch™ (en-2.5). 22:22, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
- In that case, the file name isn't only confusing but also incorrect. The problem is that the file should be renamed but that the desired target file name is unknown. Also, if, as your comment suggests, the logo is a fake, then the logo should be deleted. --Stefan2 (talk) 10:54, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
- That Facebook page looks more like a logo for the associated football club. Not sure about verifying that logo; one photo in that article looks like a very similar flag. I've done the file rename under the assumption that it is not a hoax; if someone can verify that it is incorrect it should be deleted.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 10:52, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks
Just a little thank you for hiding the pictures there. Didn't knew about these copyright problems there. Is there any way they could be avoided?--Ermanarich (talk) 15:34, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
Nonfree images in Gather lists
Sorry about that. It looks like nonfree status of an image is not detected correctly if it the license tag is followed by a rationale template, as the license metadata in the two templates can conflict. I can re-run the bot and regenerate those pages once the bug is (T131896) fixed. --Tgr (WMF) (talk) 18:05, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
File:Surinam FA.png
Hi Stefan2. Thanks for catching that mistagging. I'm still not sure whether two non-free of the basically the same file is needed. There is also the question of whether UUI#17 applies. Any suggestions on how to proceed from here? Thanks in advance. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:31, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
- F1 requires two things: the file should be unused (it wasn't) and the file should be identical and in the same file format (one was a vector file and the other was a bitmap file).
- It doesn't seem useful to have one PNG and one SVG version of the same logo. For non-free files, there is a simple solution: edit all articles so that articles only contain one of the files. The other file will then be eligible for deletion per WP:F5 a week later. If some use of the PNG file fails WP:NFCC, then an alternative option is to migrate all valid usage to the SVG file and then list the PNG file at WP:FFD. --Stefan2 (talk) 21:37, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
- The svg file has a nfur for Surinamese Football Association and that usage seems NFCC compliant to me. I don't believe valid nfurs can be written for the svg for the two team articles per UUI#17., so I will discuss the png's usage at FFD. Thanks again for the clarification. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:46, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
Ερωτηση
Hello, why did you crop out the logo of Ole Miss from my user page? It isn't copyright violation, I am a student there and by that have permission to use. Κοματσουλάκης (talk) 23:24, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) @Κοματσουλάκης: Because it is a non-free logo and under the terms of WP:NFCC#9 you are not permitted to post these outside of articlespace, which your userpage isn't. Having "permission to use it" is unfortunately not enough to exempt the logo from that policy, especially when we don't have evidence of that.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 05:42, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Promo Shot.jpg
Hello -- I'm wondering why you have flagged this image? I thought it was going through the process of being moved to Commons? I've attributed the photo to the photographer, who has given me permission to use it. Can you please tell me what else needs to be done here? Thanks! BurtWorks (talk) 16:10, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
- The photographer needs to comply with the process described at WP:CONSENT. --Stefan2 (talk) 16:33, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
Possibly unfree files is closed
Stefan, please take any future file discussions to files for discussion as possibly unfree files has been closed down. We're working on removing it from Twinkle and other scripts. Thanks, Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:01, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- Sure, but until the tools have been updated, we should still accept that there will be some PUF requests, either because the nominator is unaware of the discussion, or (as happened for me yesterday) because someone who is used to sending files to PUF accidentally clicks on PUF instead of FFD out of habit. It risks creating more confusion if we move requests from one venue to another, in particular for the uploaders of files listed there. --Stefan2 (talk) 10:55, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
Kent Smith photo
Hi, I haven't logged onto my wikipedia for a while and found today that you had taken down the photo that I posted of Kent Smith, that I said I posted because I took the picture. The reason you gave for taking it down, was that it came from the Green Party of California Flickr Page. I run that page and posted the pic there too!!!! OMG, I can't believe you went to these lengths to take this picture down, when it was something that I took personally. How do we get it back up there? --Mfeinstein —Preceding undated comment added 20:04, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- See WP:IOWN: either change the licence to a free one on Flickr, or send a permission statement to OTRS. Free licences on Flickr are cc-by, cc-by-sa and cc-zero. --Stefan2 (talk) 20:40, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
OK thanks, I'll get on Flickr and try and figure out how to do that. I didn't even know it said all rights reserved by default, I don't remember filling out anything that said that when I set up the Flickr page in the first place. --Mfeinstein
File source problem with File:LakeLouise 2.jpg
Thanks for the note - this is my own picture - I can't see how to add a source and so have added a manual narrative and deleted the tag. Where does one edit the source info? B Brookie :) { - like the mist - there one moment and then gone!} (Whisper...) 19:45, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
- You wrote that you took the photo. That's the source you were required to provide, so the problem has been solved now. --Stefan2 (talk) 20:10, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
HJK Helsinki logo
Hello. I now added the non-free use rationale for the logo you deleted on page Stadin derby. It helps readers to identify the logos of both sides involved in the football derby and the logos are presented in the same way as it is on East Lancashire derby page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joonash (talk • contribs) 13:15, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- As you may have noticed, Marchjuly responded by listing the file at WP:FFD. --Stefan2 (talk) 15:06, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

- Hi Joonash. As Stefan2 has pointed out, I have started a discussion on the non-free usage of File:HJK Helsinki Logo.svg at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2016 April 13#File:HJK Helsinki Logo.svg. I realize you added a non-free use rationale for this particular usage, but simply adding a a rationale does not automatically make a file's usage NFCC compliant. There are 9 other non-free content criteria besides NFCC#10 which need to be satisfied for each usage of non-free content and the aforementioned FFD discussion is about whether WP:NFCC#8 and possibly WP:NFCC#3 (No. 17 of WP:NFC#UUI) are being satisfied.
- Finally, the fact that similar files are being used in a similar manner in other articles is not always a good indication of non-free compliance. Non-free usage is required to be contextually significant to the degree that removing it would be detrimental to the reader's understanding of a particular subject so what may be acceptable for one article is not always the same for other articles. Moreover, lots of non-free images are being used incorrectly in articles: the two used in the "East Lancanshire derby" example you gave also do not satisfy NFCC#10c and, thus, have been removed. You're welcome to add any comments that you think are relevant to the file's non-free usage in Stadin derby. The administrator who reviews such discussions will take everything posted into account when deciding on what to do with the file. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:26, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
File:Legends of Callasia.jpg
Hi Stefan2. The file is being used in the article Legends of Callasia, but it is currently moved to the draftspace and I am waiting for a moderator to approve it after making the necessary edits. Monikazapper (talk) 09:13, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
