Your copyvio tag on this file wasn't appropriate. If uploaders don't lie and are honest in telling about the source, we should give them a benefit of doubt, by just adding {{No permission since}}. However, if they claim own work - it is outright copyright violation. Regards, Aafi (talk) 11:39, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Aafi: Hi, my reading of these kinds of social media uploads is that if the uploader provides the URL of a specific post, and that post when examined is not attempting to release the copyright in any way, and the user is not making any kind of statement about representing or being the pictured subject, I take the good faith interpretation that the user believes the post to be evidence of the image being public domain, but is mistaken about that.
The associated talk page template for CSD F1 says that the image has been "marked as a possible copyright violation" (not a definite one) and cautions that "unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here".
F1 has an exemption when there is "a reasonable possibility of discovering that the work is public domain through further research", but I wouldn't have said this applied to a typical celebrity Instagram photo. Belbury (talk) 12:13, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Aafi: Would be good to hear your view on what I've said here, a lot of my Commons activity is flagging copyvios so I'd like to feel confident that I was doing it correctly. Belbury (talk) 16:48, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Belbury: Ideally, if a user claims a work as own which is otherwise found on internet; it is a clear ground for COM:CSD#F1 - simply because the uploader is lying. For the other case, where uploader doesn't claim own-work (but might or might not have permission) - our usual behavior is to tag the files with {{No permission since}}. Although this template is heavily worded, but elsewhere, as it says, "It (the file) is attributed to someone other than the uploader, or to an external site, and while a licensing tag has been applied, there is no proof that the author has agreed to release the file under the given license....." If permissions aren't cleared, the file is deleted in seven days. We do this in all cases where it could be said about permissions/licensing that there is ""a reasonable possibility of discovering that the work is public domain (other compatible licenses) through further research (or perhaps through VRT)." To clear up, where ever there is a honest attribution of author/source, permissions template is the right thing, and not a CSD copyright violation tag. Let me know if I make any sense here.
