Article to be translated edit

Dear Ilaria, please remember to add footnotes to the original article it:Domenico Rossi (pittore) before translating it, thank you. The footnotes may also refer to same text in the bibliography section, but it's necessary to add some more sources. Good work. --Marco Chemello (Unipd) (talk) 10:17, 10 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Problems with upload of File:Joan-miro-le-poete-prehistorique-1949 1 ed9559566f2acc88688b6704b5ab4cec.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading File:Joan-miro-le-poete-prehistorique-1949 1 ed9559566f2acc88688b6704b5ab4cec.jpg.

Non-free content use edit

  Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload files. However, it appears that one or more of the files you have uploaded or added to a page, specifically User:Ilaria Panarotto/exam sandbox, may fail our non-free policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted file of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:54, 14 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi Ilaria Panarotto. Please stop adding non-free files like File:MiroMorningStar.JPG and File:006-Barcelona-Series.jpg to your user sandbox. There are lots of restrictions placed on non-free files and one of these is that they can only be used in the article name space. I've already removed non-free files from your sandbox twice and left edit summaries explaining why, but you continue to re-add the files. Now, they've been removed yet again, this time by a WP:BOT operated by a Wikipedia administrator named JJMC89. If you weren't aware of the restriction placed on these files, then that's OK; however, if you continue to try and add them to your sandbox contrary to Wikipedia's policy on non-free content use, an administrator may eventually decide to step in and possibly block your account from further editing. I can see from your user page that your a student and perhaps you're working on your sandbox as part of a class project. That's OK too, but you're still going to make sure you're editing in accordance with relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines. -- Marchjuly (talk) 19:46, 14 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hi Marchjuly,
I am really sorry for the incovenience. I did not mean to violate the copyright policies, I just did not fully understand why I cannot upload on my page an image that is already used in an existing page: now I have checked all the license conditions and I got that I must check that the image has to be of public domain either way. Please correct me if I am wrong. I removed all the pictures mentioned, and I added as picture File:Joan Miro Reina Sofia.jpg|Joan_Miro_Reina_Sofia , which appears to me as being of public domain license.
I apologize for my mistakes.

Hi Ilaria Panarotto. Image use on Wikipedia can be quite tricky and it's easy for even experienced users to make mistakes. I'm not sure about the licensing of File:Joan Miro Reina Sofia.jpg and there's a good chance the person who uploaded it to Commons just made a mistake. Obviously, this person can be the copyright holder of the painting because that would've been Miró, and thus now his estate. The problem is that the file is a crop of the much larger File:Madrid07nov 062 (2052531702).jpg that someone else took. Often when someone takes a photo of another person's creative work, there are two copyrights that need to be considered: the copyright of the photo and the copyright of the creative work that is photographed. The person taking the photo owns its copyright, but their copyright ownership doesn't extend to the work they've photographed. So, for Commons to keep either of these files, it would need to be clearly demonstrated that Miró's Woman, Bird, Star (Homage to Pablo Picasso) is no longer protected by copyright. A painting isn't necessarily free of copyright protection just because it's publicly displayed in a museum or because the artist who painted it is now dead; so, it needs to be determined whether those two files are OK for Commons. If they're not, it might be possible to reupload one of them locally to Wikipedia as non-free content, but in that case you wouldn't be able to use it in your sandbox. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:55, 15 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Your Commons uploads edit

There are some issues with the files you've uploaded to Commons that are going to need to be resolved in order to avoid their deletion. You can find out what they are at c:User talk:Ilaria Panarotto. You seem to have uploaded a number of works by the artist Joan Miró as your "own work". Please note that "own work" has a special meaning when it comes to Commons and copyright law that doesn't seem to apply to you, unless you're Miró himself or someone officially represent his estate. It might be possible for some of the files you uploaded to be already within the public domain for some reason or another, but that depends on many different factors. You shouldn't, however, be claiming to be the copyright holder of works created by others, and then uploading these works to Commons as you've been doing. Image copyright matters are often quite tricky to sort out and it's very easy to make mistakes. If you're not sure about any files you're uploading to Commons, you should ask for assistance at c:Commons:Village pump/Copyright before uploading anything. You should also ask your class instructor or advisor as well. Commons and Wikipedia have lots of policies and guidelines that all user are expected to follow; mistakes are also expected and they're OK to make as long as they don't keep be repeated over and over again. -- Marchjuly (talk) 19:58, 14 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
