These images in Brooklyn Museum

Dear Admins and experienced users,

The Brooklyn Museum Bot long ago uploaded these six 2D paintings of artists who died between 1960 to 1973 but no one wants to review them. Can WikiCommons keep these images? I think the PD-70 year rule may be a problem. Just asking for your opinions. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 23:17, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment: Dear Yann The Brooklyn Museum says "This image (ie. painting) was uploaded by the Brooklyn Museum as a content partnership, and is considered to have no known copyright restrictions by the institutions of the Brooklyn Museum." But with no information of a for lack of copyright notice or renewal, do we know if the remaining images are OK for Commons. I have to sign of now for bed...but it is a hard question. Unless MGA73 knows a bit about their current copyright...which is really complex. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 12:40, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I was Ping'ed. I do not know more about those paintings than allready said. If a museum check copyright and find it to be expired then I think the risk is low. As said above the copyright could be gone for lack of copyright notice or renewal. --MGA73 (talk) 13:48, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks MGA73 for your advice. I am sure we can trust the Brooklyn Museum here when they say there are no copyright restrictions. I will pass a few more images like the two Brookyln Museum rice fiellds due to this DR too. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 22:00, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Likely copyvio uploads

All the 86 uploads by User:Mkrax are highly suspicious, though I've not been able to find sources with tineye. Cited sources like "Some multiple websites" and "At Facebook, websites , and other" just don't conform to Commons standards, though. Mass delete? Advice, please! - MPF (talk) 21:11, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I sampled half a dozen; Google Lens all found the original sources with free licenses on none of them. I've deleted all uploads as copyvios. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:34, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Wonder why tineye didn't find any?? Is it useless? - MPF (talk) 22:22, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@MPF: Tineye has definitely become less effective in recent years; I'm not sure why. Under Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets, you can enable the "Google Images & Tineye" gadget, which adds an easy Google Lens link to file pages. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:48, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Pi.1415926535 - thanks! Not a great fan of google though, given their reputation for data theft from people's computers - MPF (talk) 23:05, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Can anyone check this image file? It seems suspicious for me. Thanks in advance. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 02:51, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looking. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 03:30, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@JWilz12345 It does not appear that either revision contains stenographically encoded data (i.e. no hidden images). Seems COM:OOS though? —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 04:02, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Mdaniels5757 unused in any Wikimedia area/site/page. No forseeable use. So yeah, out of scope too. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 08:58, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@JWilz12345: Nominated for deletion as OOS. --A1Cafel (talk) 09:24, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
