1996 WA election maps uploaded by Thomascampbell123 (talk · contribs)

[edit]

As the original uploaded of this file I want it to be deleted. That's because the 1992 and 1996 presidential elections in Washington State were not comparable as Perot came in second place in some Washington counties in 1992. Thomascampbell123 (talk) 00:07, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Unfortunately, the files cannot be automatically deleted at the uploader's request because they have been up longer than seven days. @Thomascampbell123: perhaps you could elaborate and tell us more about why you don't think these maps are useful. Phillipedison1891 (talk) 05:34, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I do not believe that these maps are useful because an independent presidential candidate (Ross Perot) finished ahead of George H. W. Bush in some counties in Washington State in 1992. Therefore that election cannot really be compared with the previous and following elections. Thomascampbell123 (talk) 19:05, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Thomascampbell123: (1) Is anything now different than when you uploaded? (2) Do you intend to replace them with something that better conveys that information? - Jmabel ! talk 04:39, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
My answer to your first question is that no, nothing is now different than when I uploaded. My answer to your second question is that no, I do not intend to replace them with something that better conveys that information. However, there already is a note on the 1992 presidential election in Washington page that states Perot finished ahead of Bush in some counties. Thomascampbell123 (talk) 20:06, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the underlying numbers (not the images), it looks like comparing '96 to '92 Perot's share of the vote went about equally to the two major parties, so I'm not sure that makes the trend less valid.
Also: what's the difference between the "swing" and the "trend"? - Jmabel ! talk 23:32, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Update I contacted the Mary Evans Picture Library and they have no idea who the artist is either, so it's highly unlikely that they actually control the copyright. Phillipedison1891 (talk) 14:28, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This file was initially tagged by ~2025-39034-15 as Speedy (speedydelete) and the most recent rationale was: The file is tagged as PD-Iraq, but the stated source (majalla.com / المجلة) is a Saudi Arabian magazine, not an Iraqi publication. Therefore the work was not first published in Iraq, and Iraqi copyright law does not apply. The uploader misapplied PD-Iraq, which requires the work to originate from Iraq or be published there. Since Majalla is a copyrighted Saudi media outlet, this file is under Saudi copyright, not Iraqi public domain. No valid free license is provided. Converted to regular DR, the image is in use in multiple wikis, so there should be a discussion for this. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 03:20, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Túrelio, I tagged the file because the only version I could find is the reproduction in a 1996 book and I couldn’t confirm whether the original photograph itself is in the public domain.

  •  Keep The license appears correct to me.

Old templates for linking to Wikipedia

[edit]

Made obsolete by {{Wikidata infobox}} and other functionality. I don't see what any of these templates do that infoboxes and sidebar links doesn't do better. Let us deprecate them and slowly remove them. (I did not include {{See also w}} in this, since that may be used to point to non-primary articles are not suitable as a standalone gallery or category.)

By the way, I found a mention on a talk page that RudolphousBot at one point had a task of deleting the template {{Mainw}} from pages, is that correct @Rudolphous? Rose Abrams (talk) 14:02, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Very strong  Oppose. The Wikidata infobox is so messy and huge (and particularly so in being vertical, thereby displacing images, which is what Commons is really for), that it is easiest and best set to hidden, which makes other small links very useful - MPF (talk) 14:16, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MPF: The Infobox is vertical deliberately to minimise displacing images - with templates like 'On Wikipedia' one that are horizontal, you have to scroll past them to see the first image, which isn't the case with the Infobox. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 14:56, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Mike Peel - it does the opposite, as the images are no longer arranged in equal number rows. - MPF (talk) 15:07, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
We're getting somewhat off-topic, but why would equal number rows be important? Is that better or worse than having to scroll down (sometimes by a whole screen) to see the first image? (e.g., Category:Miami, Florida) Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 15:14, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Mike Peel It's very confusing when the note says "The following 84 files are in this category, out of 84 total", but there aren't eight rows plus four in the 9th row, because the infobox has messed up the top few rows so they don't have ten in any more. - MPF (talk) 16:29, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The number of images shown per row is not static, though, it depends on your screen size and thumbnail size, and you can always use the 'Collapse' button in the infobox if this is an issue in a specific case. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 19:35, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Mike Peel it is static for a given screen size, of course; and in general any one person tends to use the same screen all the time. And it gets very tedious if you have to tick the 'collapse' button every single time you go to a new category - that's actually why I set it to permanent collapsed. You may think it seems trivial, but these proposals would make Commons a lot more difficult and tiresome to use. - MPF (talk) 12:31, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're talking about your use case, which doesn't necessarily match others. I personally use various screens with different sizes. Have you tried the horizontal form of the Infobox, see under 'Customisation' at Template:Wikidata_Infobox#Usage? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 13:14, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's not just the infobox, but also the interwiki links that appear in the sidebar. These two technologies equally solve the main problem of the linked templates, which is that they don't automatically link the user's preferred language which I forgot to mention in the nom.
And less related: I've never felt that the infobox being too big. And if you @MPF believe otherwise, then I feel like that's a separate and surmountable problem since we can always work to improve the infobox. Rose Abrams (talk) 15:50, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think these could be deprecated from use in gallery and category pages, but it probably still needs to be kept for file pages until we have better integration of SDC/more embedding of Wikidata information in the file templates. Pi bot removes them most of the time while adding the Infobox - I could expand that functionality at some point to more generally remove them from categories where no longer needed. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 14:56, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I'm not too sure about that usecase, most WP-links I've seen on file pages just use the plain syntax like [[w:en:Example]]. But I could be wrong, and one of them do have hundreds of transclusions in filespace. And the general idea is good too.

 Delete {{Mainw}} and {{On Wikipedia}} - these only have 10k and 2k uses respectively and those can be bot-migrated to newer templates (I'm happy to do that in the new year). {{Multilingual link}} is a different situation, though, with 12m uses, and I think that we need to keep that for now - @Rose Abrams: I suggest removing that from this nomination, and we can do some further investigation to migrate it to something else before bringing it back here.

Yes, and millions more via {{National Library in Warsaw partnership}}. I was well aware that the deletion notice would propagate very far and create server load, but I put it there in good faith to notify all concerned parties.

 Speedy keep per MPF, not a valid reason for deletion, all templates are heavily in-use. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 18:37, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep for two reasons.
  • Firstly, {{Mainw}} (which I thoroughly dislike BTW, and would happily see the back of) is used on 10.5k pages. Is there any plan for how to convert it to its replacement?
  • Secondly, is there any plan for replacement? Because this DR seems to be mistitled, in a most misleading way. This doesn't look like a DR to 'clean out some obsolete templates', it looks instead like a policy change against linking to WP articles from Commons category pages. On the thoroughly dubious grounds that such a thing isn't needed, or has been superseded by infoboxes. Yet basic usability shows how necessary this linkage is (even if not done with these templates). Our readers benefit massively from having a link that is prominent, in their own language, repeats the name of the link target article (calling it 'Wikipedia' is unrecognisable to the majority of our readers) and is on the left side of the page, where we are conditioned by long habit to begin looking for it. Much as I like infoboxes, they are no substitute for a text link and the infobox design does that job of linking quite badly. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:59, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Andy Dingley: I'm willing to work on bot migration of Mainw's usage to the Infobox - either removing it where it is already duplicated, or adding the Infobox where it's missing (using the template contents) where necessary - and then there wlil be some manual cleanup, but 10k usages isn't so much to work through. I'm not convinced that readers expect interwiki links on the left side of the page or with particular formatting that isn't standard across most Wikimedia projects, particularly when we're talking about a template that isn't used that much any more. The Infoboxes do provide a more standard link (across 5m+ categories now) that fits in with the rest of the content they provide. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 21:53, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No FoP in Italy. This building's architects died only in 1966 (Paolo Rossi De Paoli) and 1981 (Michele Busiri Vici). Should still be protected by copyright. --Aciarium (talk) 18:56, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Friniate: would this building be covered by {{PD-ItalyGov}} ? Abzeronow (talk) 03:33, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abzeronow I think it does, as we can read here it was commissioned by the State administration. It was finished in 1956 (see here), therefore it fell under PD in 1977. No issue with US copyright. Friniate (talk) 15:07, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I meant PD-ItalyGov indeed, but my paraphrasing was unlucky at best - thanks for clarifying :)
As I could understand by your other comment, eventually the deletion request will be concluded by the closing admin. After that: Is it up to me to remove Template:Delete from the corresponding pages, or is this a bot-based process? And: Should I already add Template:PD-Italy to the files without the fountain, while the deletion request is still open? --Aciarium (talk) 16:38, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Aciarium I've added PD-ItalyGov myself, the licensing is now ok :-)
As for the deletion template I don't know, probably @Abzeronow can give more answers than me... Friniate (talk) 17:07, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Friniate Alright, thank you! :) --Aciarium (talk) 22:06, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I acknowledge the validity of the dispute. Having verified the death dates of architects Paolo Rossi De Paoli (1966) and Michele Busiri Vici (1981), it is clear that the work in question is still protected by copyright in Italy (until 2052).
​I also understand that Italian law does not provide full Freedom of Panorama (FoP) allowing the use of images for commercial purposes, which makes their permanence on Wikimedia Commons incompatible with the CC-BY-SA licenses used.
​I therefore accept that the images indicated must be removed.
Giovanni Ussi (talk) 16:52, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Giovanni Ussi No, no, read above, there's no need to delete, since it's a building commissioned by a public administration :-) Friniate (talk) 20:34, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Whereas the building is ok, I've much more doubts on File:Bozen Gerichtsgebäude.JPG because of the fountain. It was made by it:Eraldo Fozzer and as we can read here it wasn't commissioned by the Municipality of Bolzano, which bought it in 1960 from the Municipality of Trento. But judging from this article with an interview with the daughter of the artist, it wasn't formally commissioned by the Municipality of Trento either. Therefore my guess is that it is still under copyright until 2066. That image would therefore be admissible only considering the fountain as de minimis. I'll leave the decision to the closing admin.--Friniate (talk) 16:26, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The fountain seems a bit too prominent to be de minimis to me, and would be troublesome to crop out. (EDIT: But then again, the building is the subject and the fountain doesn't take too much space in the photograph. Fountain is definitely not a cut-and-dried thing on the DM question). Abzeronow (talk) 23:50, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think the whole discussion is nonsense. If you want to delete this image do it but bear in mind that nobody cares about your "doubts" nor about this presumed copyright. In Italy we have a saying: "Più realista del re".

In Israel, if the recording or photo was taken in a public place, the mere act of filming may not by itself be illegal. BUT publishing such recordings, especially if they show the minor doing something that could embarrass or harm their dignity (swearing, misbehavior, insults, etc.) may be considered a violation of their privacy rights under the same standards that apply for adults. Many practitioners argue this is even more sensitive with children. If publication is done without parental consent, the parent/guardian may have a legal claim. [6] BananaNotes (talk) 18:52, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The video was taken in Palestine not in Israel so that Israeli law has no relevance even if Israeli citizens appear in it. Embarrassment is culturally dependent and the behaviour of the young people conform with the norms in their society. יורם שורק (talk) 08:00, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the comment. Jurisdiction is a bit more complex: even if the video was recorded outside Israeli jurisdiction, Israeli privacy and tort laws may still apply to the publication of identifiable images of minors by an Israeli citizen or on platforms operating under Israeli law. In most legal systems, minors receive heightened privacy protection regardless of cultural norms, and the fact that the behavior is common or not considered embarrassing locally does not remove the question of whether publishing identifiable footage of minors without parental consent is permissible. Because this concerns minors, it is generally advisable to rely on legal sources rather than cultural interpretations. BananaNotes (talk) 19:51, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

AI-generated deletion objection has been collapsed
  • keep File:Cancun bikini.jpg This image provides clear educational value and falls within the scope of Wikimedia Commons for the following reasons: Illustrative Utility for Fashion/Textiles: The image serves as a high-quality contemporary example of specific swimwear styles (bikini) and can be used to illustrate articles regarding [fashion trends], [beachwear], or the [textile industry]'s evolution of synthetic fabrics in water-resistant clothing. Regional/Tourism Context: As noted in the metadata, this illustrates typical tourist activity and cultural norms for vacation attire in [Cancun], which is educationally relevant for travel-related documentation or sociological study of resort culture. High Quality vs. Private Snap: The image is technically sound and distinct from low-quality personal snapshots.

COM:NOTCENSORED is not, in and of itself, a reason to keep files. The file I'm assuming you're referring to (the one in this DR?) was kept because it documented a notable historical event, and is in use as such on numerous wikis; that clearly doesn't apply to these images.

Keep - File:Cancun bikini.jpg This image provides clear educational value and falls within the scope of Wikimedia Commons for the following reasons:
Illustrative Utility for Fashion/Textiles: The image serves as a high-quality contemporary example of specific swimwear styles (bikini) and can be used to illustrate articles regarding [fashion trends], [beachwear], or the [textile industry]'s evolution of synthetic fabrics in water-resistant clothing.
Regional/Tourism Context: As noted in the metadata, this illustrates typical tourist activity and cultural norms for vacation attire in [Cancun], which is educationally relevant for travel-related documentation or sociological study of resort culture.
High Quality vs. Private Snap: The image is technically sound and distinct from low-quality personal snapshots. It provides a clear, focused subject that effectively serves as a visual reference for the topics mentioned above.
Future Potential: While not currently in an article, the file meets the "realistically usable" requirement by providing a free-licensed resource for future content regarding public health (sun exposure), fashion design history, or tourism economics.

Also keep File:Randi in Wedding Dress.jpg it is already being used in Dress Wikipedia article to show a wedding dress. It is really good quality. Also keep File:Summer bikini young women beauty fashion.jpg this is a good photo for beauty fashion. It is really hard to replace beauty fashion pics because often times it is used in commercial use with copyrighted status. Also do you think we should have a beauty fashion gallery to preserve images? WikiGrower1 (talk) 21:55, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's a deep oversimplification to say a video of a random person being killed should be kept because it's "documenting a historical event." But I would recommend looking at the other videos uploaded by the same guy. As I recall, they prolifically uploaded snuff films that had nothing to do with any particular event. But, to address the current nomination more directly, the point that I'm trying to make is that "pinup" is not equivalent to "not educational." I think that deleting on this basis alone—and that is the only basis that has been suggested—would be more harmful than keeping the pictures, tbh.

Out of scope: AI-generated paleoart. Per en:WP:PALEOART, "AI-generated paleoart is not accepted [on the English Wikipedia], and will be removed and nominated for deletion when encountered. From our experience, AI paleoart is always inaccurate, and since it derives from copyrighted, human-made artwork, is is both unethical and legally questionable."

Delete per nom. Compared to original file, AI processed image clearly has inconsistencies, with the right pectoral fin appearing like a dorsal fin and the right armor spine appearing to be on top, which is simply misleading and extremely inaccurate. Ta-tea-two-te-to (talk) 15:50, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, it is worth noting that the author of the original image once requested deletion, saying that they did not want the image to be used on Wikipedia. Judging from the Wikipedia contribution history, the reason appears to be protests over its inclusion of gory images in articles such as a cross-section of a shark and "Saturn Devouring His Son."

@HJ Mitchell, an OGL licence, by definition, only is used by the UK Government, and these images are from the UK Parliament (not the government). There is a {{OPL}} (Open Parliament Licence) but that tends not to be apliped to images. In any case, whether its {{OGL}} or {{OPL}}, these are not automatic and have to be specificly appened to conetent for them to apply. Cakelot1 ☞️ talk 08:01, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Cakelot1 thanks for the clarification on OGL vs OPL. I'm still not sure about the licence reviews though (perhaps the reviewers can shed some light)—19 of the images were reviewed and confirmed to be available on Flickr under the stated licence, so it seems more likely that the Flickr account has changed its licencing retrospectively. Harry Mitchell (talk) 21:48, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As I said in my comment above the ones that have been reviewed have CC-BY-3.0 licences manually added in the description of their respective Flickr pages (e.g. File:Blackford Frontbench 2019.jpg which specifically calls out the text in the description of Flickr page) As far as I can see every single one that was reviewed continues to have the same licence listed in their description.

This file was initially tagged by Diannaa as Copyvio (copyvio) and the most recent rationale was: copied https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/196689942/mabel_virginia_anna-bent. Watermarked "The Bent Archive"from There are only two possibilities here: (1) findagrave.com took this from Riga-to-Rangoon; (2) this is a blatant copyvio. @Riga-to-Rangoon: do you have an explanation? Jmabel ! talk 22:56, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there - well spotted... The Bent Archive IS ME (www.tambent.com) and I took this photo several years ago. I loaded the snap on Find a Grave too and it also appears in my editions of Mabel Bent's diaries (Archaeopress, Oxford). I'm very happy to have this snap in the public domain and hope people will go visit the Bents. Hope this solves the issue, or do get back to me. Kind regards. Riga-to-Rangoon (talk) 07:37, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Riga-to-Rangoon: You probably should do one of two things here: indicate at tambent.com that you control this Wikipedia account or send COM:VRT a message to that effect (and referencing this file and any others on Commons published there). This is definitely a case of uploading content that was published before its upload to Commons, and with no publicly available information indicating that both publications were by the same person. - Jmabel ! talk 19:15, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there - very many thanks. How about if i go back to the folder of digital photos I took and upload a different one (i.e. that has not appeared anywhere before)? I took a great many snaps at the time I visited the Bents' grave. I think a photo of the grave is an appropriate and fitting image to include. Kind regards Riga-to-Rangoon (talk) 06:36, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That would be fine, but unless this is the one and only photo affected, the VRT approach would be better. Or something like I do here, but I understand if you wouldn't want that public a connection between the two accounts. - Jmabel ! talk 19:56, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
