Image Uploads[edit]
Hello!
I saw you tagged all the photos I had recently uploaded. These photos have been uploaded to the public domain as per the metadata on the image uploads. This is indicated in the URL Source of the files. This is all I can prove on my end. You say 'but there is no proof that the author agreed to license the file under the given license.' - The author of the photo added this proof in the metadata of these images.

- Where do you see a license in that metadata? I was unable to find anything. --Didym (talk) 22:23, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- Structured data will show this. I can only see this with viewing the photos you have tagged in Photoshop. The images there say 'Public Domain' by the NZ Herald. On 'https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dom_Harvey_New_Zealand.jpg' it always shows that it's pulled this through on the Structured data info. This information works if you can view the IPTC data. These show three options 'Unknown' 'Copyrighted' and 'Public Domain'. All these photos which I have included the source JPG url all have indicated 'Public Domain'. Thanks :) --ArleneHerman (talk) 22:40, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- If you can only see this in Photoshop, it's probably not reliable copyright information, maybe even a bug in Photoshop. --Didym (talk) 15:29, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- No worries. It's no bug but maybe it just doesn't show on commons. Shows on all the structured data (IPTC) data. This isn't all displayed on Wiki commons. Thank you for letting me know. ArleneHerman (talk) 19:07, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) I have seen the “Copyright status” field among the “extended details” in Commons’ display of metadata on other file pages. Perhaps the PD setting (which did indeed appear in the file when I downloaded it) gets suppressed when the “Copyright holder” field is filled in.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 20:52, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- I think you're right. Makes sense to then remove these images. Sorry for the inconvenience caused. I saw 'Public Domain' on my end so that is why I uploaded these images. Thank you for letting me know though and thank you @Didym for sorting for me too. ArleneHerman (talk) 21:15, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
