September 23

File:Mika Ravalawa 2020.jpg

Image is stated as from "My private photo of Mika Ravalawa". An uncropped version of the photo was tweeted out by the National Rugby League. WP:OTRS confirmation that the uploader is the copyright holder is needed. Whpq (talk) 00:50, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File:John Dowling St.George 1983.jpg

The uploader claims the photo is from "My private photo of John Dowling. 1983". However, this photo is from a collectible sticker. Claim of being the copyright holder is dubious. Whpq (talk) 01:01, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File:Paul Hayward Newtown 1978.jpg

Uploader claims the image to be from "My private photo of Paul Harward 1978". The same photo can be found on a collectible card. Note that the uploaded photo has blurred out background int he same spots that crests/logos appear. Claim to being the copyright holder is not credible.

File:Dulciemarkham.jpg

Uploader claims "This was an original family photo of the late Dulcie Markham." The same photo appears in the Mail and Telegraph. Given the uploader's other dubious claims of being the copyright holder, I don't find this claim credible. Whpq (talk) 01:37, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File:Brian johnson.jpg

Uploader claims this is from "1980 personal collection". However this is an image from a collectible card. Scanning a card from your own collection does not transfer copyright. Whpq (talk) 01:45, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File:Norm henderson.jpg

Uploader claims this is from "Personal collection 1971". This is clearly a scan of a printed item, most likely a collectible card. Claim of being the copyright holder is not credible. Whpq (talk) 01:47, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File:William Conton.jpg

This is a photo taken with an iphone of a photo printed in a newspaper. The copyright for the original photo doesn't get transferred by taking a picture of it. Whpq (talk) 17:03, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File:Imtisola Nokdir.jpeg

Given the summary of "The photo can be obtained from Imti Imsong.", the claim to being the copyright holder is dubious,. Uploader has a history of copyright violations. Whpq (talk) 17:47, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File:2014.03.29.west.hollywood.elementary.school.970.n.hammond.st.90069.jpg

The file is on Commons. Uploader requested to keep a local copy because FBI might close Commons. I think that reason is just silly. Anyway the uploader has not been active since 2018 so I think there is no reason to keep the file locally anymore. MGA73 (talk) 18:21, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You may think the reason is silly but that's not a reason for local copy deletion. And we don't keep or not keep files based on levels of contributor activity. Furthermore, I have actually been active much more recently than 2018; today, in fact. — alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 18:31, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File:Long shot of Iwaki station from the front of Latov.jpg

Orphan image, file is on Commons, uploader has not been active since 2014. MGA73 (talk) 18:29, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Did you just make up this thing about how it's OK to delete local copies if the uploader hasn't been active in some unspecified number of years? — alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 18:32, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
