Speedy deletion nomination of John Edwin Goodall

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on John Edwin Goodall requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. smileguy91^talk 03:41, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly unfree File:Goodall Cup Replica Cup 2014.png

Reply From orion_2012 Hello, this file is entirely my own work. My image, my editing, my camera ... my 'everything'. I thank you in advance for removing this allegation of yours.

Also you may wish to read the following:

Artistic craftsmanship

"If a work is not a sculpture, it may still qualify for copyright protection as a work of artistic craftsmanship. The types of product that may fall into this category include "handicrafted jewellery tiles, pots, stained-glass windows, wrought-iron gates, hand-knitted jumpers, and crocheted doilies" (Bentley and Sherman summarising the case law in Intellectual Property Law (Second Edition) p74)."

"Unlike most types of copyright works, the courts must adjudge a product as "artistic" before awarding protection under this heading."

"In the most influential case on the question, Henscher v Restawile Upholstery, a prototype of a chair was found not to be artistic, and was therefore unworthy of protection. However, different judges have different views about what is or is not artistic, and the cases following Henscher are not always helpful."

So the onus is upon you to determine whether a sports trophy that belongs to a league that I provide media for would be classified under "Artistic craftsmanship" and furthermore would a court adjudge this sports trophy "artistic" (which is required before awarding any separate protection). Then and only then can you accurately make your allegation, until then you haven't any premise to make such allegation.

Based on your analysis I've withdrawn the PUF. I've also struck the above notification you received. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:44, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 02:34, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for responding

I've had another look at the image you mentioned on my talk-page, based on your analysis, the PUF concern was withdrawn, and the image has now been tagged as a potentially useful image for Wikimedia Commons. It was challenged because it wasn't clear from the file description page, who the creator of the trophy was, compared to the creator of the photo, the trophy being a seperate artistic work. However, given the new information in your response, that concern is now irrelevant, as it's reasonable to assume that as you've created media for the holders of it, that you had permission to do so. The PUF concern accordingly has been withdrawn.

I've also taken another look at a second image which you had uploaded File:Joan McKowen.jpg again on the basis of the information you provided in response to the concern raised in the PUF disscussion. Was this a photograph you took? (if so do you have a higher quality version, compared to the currently web sourced one?) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:35, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The second image is of a deceased person whom is the key subject within the article it has been used in as the trophy is a memorial for her as a person.

Under the Non-Free use definitions on Wikipedia, the image must meet all 10 definitions, which it does: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Policy_2

The issue is that I tagged it as Public Domain when it should be Non-Free fair use instead.

Thanks. I've Wiki-Linked Joan McKowen, The link you gave in the trophy article seems to suggest that they were rather active in the development of the sport in Australia, as well as having played at International level? If so they would appear to meet the criteria for being notable enough to have their own article, is someone wants to write one :) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:19, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ah OK, I wasn't sure she met the criteria so I didn't make an article for her, yes she was absolutely pivotal to the development of women's ice hockey in Australia at a national level and was instrumental in the current formation of the National Women's ice hockey league here. As well as international she was one of the most key figures in Australian women's hockey being represented internationally. I will save the information for an article about her though :).

Multi-appearance International players generally meet notablity criteria :) And don't forget to sign your talk page comments Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:48, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

File:John Edwin Goodall 1922.jpg

If it's a 1922 image, why is the archive claiming a new copyright? Wikipedia policy generally seems to be that if the original was PD by 1996 (which for a 1922 image it would be) then mere mechanical reproduction doesn't generate a new copyright. I appreciate Australia may have a different 'sweat of the brow' doctrine to the US.

Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:55, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I sourced that image directly off of a person who has claimed copyright on the image. To be safe I did seek his permission to use the image, which he granted.

According to Australian Copyright Law however, there is no grey area with photographs (something I only recently found out a week ago).

https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Copyright_expiration_in_Australia

"All photographs taken before 1 January 1955 are now out of copyright and do not benefit from the new rules."

It appears to me that he cannot actually claim copyright on the scan he made of the original 1922 image, and the scan itself cannot be considered 'new work' which could fall under new copyright. I agree that this image should actually be listed as Public Domain. I'm happy to credit him for finding it but Australian law is very clear that he cannot claim copyright on the image.

Deletion pending for File:Sydney Maple Leafs Uniform 2012.jpg

Hello, Orion 2012. Some time ago, a file you uploaded — File:Sydney Maple Leafs Uniform 2012.jpg — was tagged with {{OTRS pending}}, indicating that you (or perhaps the copyright holder if you did not create this image) submitted a statement of permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Though there is often a backlog processing messages received at this address, we should have received your message by now.

If you have not submitted (or forwarded) a statement of permission, please send it immediately to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.

If you have already sent this message, it is possible that there was a problem receiving it. Please re-send it to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.

If we don't hear from you within one week, the file will be deleted. If we can help you, please feel free to ask at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 14:35, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of 1929 Goodall Cup Finals

Hello Orion 2012,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged 1929 Goodall Cup Finals for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. FindMeLost (talk) 04:05, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oops!

My fault actually. I was using Page Curation- and well.. maybe got confused with another article lacking Citations. FindMeLost (talk) 04:36, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

More references are being added now anyway, so it will be satisfactory shortly. Each finals series usually averages a minimum of 3 references as they are a 3 game series so you at least get 1 newspaper article with a game report per game until at least the 1940's from what I have collected. All are major circulation newspaper articles so the quality of the source is undeniable. I try to stick with those references for this sort of thingOrion 2012 (talk) 04:44, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, not sure if you noticed but Ontheflyhockey.com recently shut down resulting in the loss of some very useful information on Australian ice hockey. With this in mind you may be interested in using WebCite to archive any sources you have added to the articles.

However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:13, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The aforementioned non-free concern also applies to File:Australia with Linstad.jpg. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:14, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:2017 Jim Brown Shield.png

Thanks for uploading File:2017 Jim Brown Shield.png, which you've attributed to Ice Hockey Australia. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 11:46, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I appreciate your concern over a 'rights issue'. As already indicated, I work in a volunteer capacity for the actual entity that owns the rights to this image - as the entity itself is a volunteer organisation, this is as high a capacity I can attain for the work I do. I am the administrator for the entities social media and online activity. I find it impossible to further evidence that I have the right to use this image as that would only come from somebody like me or it would be me who grants myself the right to use the image. Feel free to do what you wish, Wikipedia would lose out on the opportunity to collect an image of a historic national trophy (we have used on other online platforms already) should you wish to delete the file. I'm happy with that outcome if that is the way you feel you must deal with this. Orion 2012 (talk) 02:32, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I just happened to see your comments on the deletion discussion. Since the discussions had already closed, no one saw your comments. (As the page says, subsequent comments should be made elsewhere.) But to reply, because Wikipedia's servers are physically located in the United States, Wikipedia is obligated to follow United States copyright law. See Wikipedia:Copyrights#Governing copyright law. Wikiacc (¶) 02:50, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response. I appreciate the approach to this though I feel it is more nuanced than this (ie. if you look at the definition of what "derivative work" is and how copyright is managed and who possesses copyright status in the case of derivative work - which brings the 'USA based server location' reasoning into question), however I have simply sought a more practical source for sharing these images as this is proving to be a crippling limitation of Wikipedia if international participation is being encouraged yet only if it complies with American Copyright Law using server location as the explanation for why this is. That is a shame in my opinion but hopefully one day Wikipedia owners can negotiate a way forward from this limitationOrion 2012 (talk) 01:59, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
