File deleted
[edit]Hello. I saw from en-wiki that this file was deleted File:Nagorno-Karabakh fuel depot explosion.jpg. Is it possible to request undeletion and solve the copyright issues? Does the file need a different source to be copyright free? KhndzorUtogh (talk) 07:28, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
- The file itself needs to be freely licensed, which isn't the case. Regards, --Polarlys (talk) 08:08, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
Hi, I note that you've just deleted this as spam. In a DR with only two contributions, one either way.
Can you please point to our policy on COM:SPAM. In particular the part that states images of commercial products should be deleted for no other reason than that they're sourced from the product maker. We do not, AFAIK, have such a policy. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:52, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
- What to say about the only and unused upload of an account with the file description “*** Bikes are a new brand specialising in the manufacture of balance bikes for children.”? To me, this is Advertising or self-promotion. as outlined by the policy. I have no strong feelings about this, however. --Polarlys (talk) 21:58, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

[edit]Why are the images I add being deleted even though they are published and circulated images and do not have copyright? مصطفى اكرم الركابي (talk) 09:47, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
- Hi, you simply can't take images from the web, claim “own work” and state that they aren't copyrighted. Please don't upload images you find online somewhere, almost all of them are copyrighted. --Polarlys (talk) 20:54, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
- اهلا، ليست صورة عدة صور وإحداهن ملكي، اما عدة الصور فهي متداولة في بلدي تداول اعتيادي والناشر معروف وقام بنشرها وتداولها في القنوات والمجلات وليست لديه مشكلة من النشر بل والاكثر من ذلك هو من يحفز الناس على نشر الارشيف هذا وتداوله!! مصطفى اكرم الركابي (talk) 21:24, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
- You need explicit permission from copyright holders to publish images here under a free licence. Please note that the images must also be available under a free licence in the USA, the server location. The customs in your country are unfortunately not sufficient. --Polarlys (talk) 20:28, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
Incorrect deletion of File:Doppler on Wheels 8 (DOW 8) Rapid Scan Rear Profile.jpg and File:Doppler_on_Wheels_5_(DOW_5)_during_VORTEX_2.png
[edit]These two images were deleted for violating copyright, when both photographs are under public domain in the United States.
File:Doppler_on_Wheels_5_(DOW_5)_during_VORTEX_2.png was taken by NOAA employee Chris Spannagle during the VORTEX 2 research project (image is a crop of 47th picture on this page). https://inside.nssl.noaa.gov/vortex2/2010/07/v2-2010-week-6-to-end-june-4-15-2010/
File:Doppler on Wheels 8 (DOW 8) Rapid Scan Rear Profile.jpg was taken from a National Science Foundation produced video under the "science nation" series, which can be found here on the NSF YouTube page https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsDcQryQm3Q and archived press release from the NSF website https://web.archive.org/web/20151102060156/http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/science_nation/doppleronwheels.jsp Realjospence (talk) 01:10, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
- The first file had the own work statement (request for deletion: “Screenshot/still frame from a copyrighted film labeled Tornado Alley or broadcast falsely claimed as "Own work".”), for the second file I see an externaly produced video that is not from the NSF. --Polarlys (talk) 08:40, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
