2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

PD-old-auto-expired

This template does not generate a "90 years pma" message. "Updating" to this tag from PD-old-90-1923 will lose information because it does not provide the desired information. --EncycloPetey (talk) 19:21, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

@EncycloPetey: Yeah, I was a bit worried about that... but a 2015 decision voted to deprecate and eventually remove the template for being redundant with {{PD-old-80}}, since there are no countries with a 90 years pma copyright length. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 20:02, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Currently, the template link redirects to {{PD-old-90-expired}}, which does not mention that discussion, nor does it seem to have been removed. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:42, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

@EncycloPetey: Interesting. It might be worth asking on the help desk whether the {{PD-old-90}} deprecation extends to things like {{PD-old-90-expired}}. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 20:52, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for following up on this. --18:19, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks!

I just wanted to thank you for going through Category:PD Austria 1932‎ and fixing the licenses there. This is very much appreciated! Sebari – aka Srittau (talk) 12:05, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

@Srittau: You're very much welcome! This is definitely quite a trip; I'm nearing the point where I'll be able to take major batches of deletions soon. Say, how'd you come across my edits anyway? And have the licenses I've replaced them with been acceptable? -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 18:44, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

I have Category:PD Austria 1932 on my watchlist to assure that no one adds files to it. I haven't really looked in depth into the licenses you have applied, but the few I checked looked ok to me. Sebari – aka Srittau (talk) 18:36, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. ~riley (talk) 04:52, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

@~riley: Thank you! -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 14:39, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Deletion

The video you nominated for deletion, Minnie's Yoo Hoo is in the public domain according to the Disney Wiki. It's not in the Mickey Mouse cartoon series because it was shown exclusively at meetings of Mickey Mouse Clubs back in the 1930s. The deletion might be a bad quality of the video or the copyrighted use of Mickey Mouse, Let me know. Thanks! - Public Domain uploader, Crs3011 (talk) 21:49, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

@Crs3011: , the issue is not so much the quality; that I'd rather wait for someone to upload a higher-quality rip. The problem is that Mickey Mouse is copyrighted as a character, and thus the cartoon you uploaded is subject to the copyright as such. I think these discussions may be useful to look at in this regard:

• Commons:Village pump/Copyright/Archive/2020/06#Bugs Bunny (you'll have to scroll down a bit)
• Commons:Deletion requests/File:The Mad Doctor (1933).webm
• Commons:Deletion requests/File:"Appreciate America. Come On Gang. All Out for Uncle Sam" (Mickey Mouse)" - NARA - 513869.tif (particularly the 2nd and 3rd nominations)

I appreciate your work, and I don't think you should be penalized for this. It's really a complicated area of copyright law. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 02:49, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

List for deletion, please

Please list for deletion this files:

• File:Color coordinates measuring scheme from DSTU 4512.svg
• File:Color areas chart for State Flag of Ukraine stripes (DSTU 4512).svg

reason for deletion is same as for Commons:Deletion_requests/File:ДСТУ_4512_2006.pdf

Thanks for correction

Dear Brainulator9, Thanks a lot for correcting my mistakes in the files about the Nederlands Openluchtmuseum. I apoligize not to have checked them. JopkeB (talk) 07:25, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

@JopkeB: No problem. I'm just here to help clean things up. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 16:09, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Question regarding PD-US-no notice

Hi, I have a question regarding {{PD-US-no notice}} and {{PD-US-1978-89}}. Does this apply to recordings which were not published in the US? E.g. a recording made in 1960 in Germany would be PD in the EU. If it were not published in the US, would it be PD in the US as well? Thanks, intforce (talk) 15:47, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

@Intforce: Good question. Multiple factors might come into play, but for the purposes of the American copyright status in 2021 of a sound recording made in Germany in 1960, the sound recording would be protected under the Music Modernization Act until 15 February 2067. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 17:30, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying. So a work that was published in 1960 in the US without a copyright notice would be in the public domain, but a German work from 1960 that was not published in the US would not be, until 2067? Cheers, intforce (talk) 17:47, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

@Intforce: The MMA applies regardless of national origin, I think (unless it's a country without any relevant copyright relations with the US). I mainly brought up the two no-notice tags because sound recordings fixed after 15 February 1972 could have been published in those timeframes and lost protection on those grounds. Not so much {{PD-US-expired}}, {{PD-US-not renewed}}, or {{PD-US-unpublished}}, due to their date restrictions. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 20:02, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Undelete in 2024?

You wrote, "Category:Undelete in 2027" and "-- may be wrong, based on expiration of the Pluto character"

The deletion request discussion was all about Mickey Mouse. The "Pluto" character was never once mentioned, nor discussed. A comment mentioned possible undeletion in 2024.

Are you willing to change to undeletion to 2024, when the Mickey Mouse in the public domain will be heavily discussed and evaluated. If Pluto is an issue of concern at that time, a this file could again be nominated for a DR- after a discussion about the Pluto character. Thanks, -- Ooligan (talk) 00:16, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

@Ooligan: if this is about Commons:Deletion requests/File:The Mad Doctor (1933).webm, I was unsure whether Pluto's presence in that short was the latest thing we needed to worry about or if there was some later element that needs to be accounted for. The nominator in that case said it could be restored as late as 2029 if need be, depending on whether elements from later cartoons are present. If you were thinking of another nomination, the same principles apply, I'd think. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 02:49, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
