Veo que marcas todo las imagenes que subo como “Contenido que viola derechos de autor”. He intentado subir imagenes dejando el enlace de donde las saqué pero aún así sigues marcando. ¿Como puedo hacer para que dejes de hacerlo? Solo quiero añadir las imagenes a wikipedia. Ni si quiera estoy lucrando con eso. Lukecody (talk) 05:22, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
LEY Nº 27806.- Ley de Transparencia y Acceso a la Información Pública
Ovruni, conforme a la ley peruana, respecto de File:Carlos Garcia y Garcia.jpg, es una foto de dominio público, sin derecho autor, fue tomada por la prensa del Congreso de la República en una reunión oficial, por lo tanto retiraré el Copyvio que pusiste.
Te dejo la ley para que la leas:
LEY Nº 27806.- Ley de Transparencia y Acceso a la Información Pública
Artículo 10º.- Información de acceso público
Las entidades de la Administración Pública tienen la obligación de proveer la información requerida si se refiere a la contenida en documentos escritos, fotografías, grabaciones, soporte magnético o digital, o en cualquier otro formato, siempre que haya sido creada u obtenida por ella o que se encuentre en su posesión o bajo su control.
Asimismo, para los efectos de esta Ley, se considera como información pública cualquier tipo de documentación financiada por el presupuesto público que sirva de base a una decisión de naturaleza administrativa, así como las actas de reuniones oficiales.
Lamentablemente la foto fue borrada, te exhorto a tener respeto y no hacer cosas no meditadas, has eliminado dos fotos que subí sin que deberían haber sido eliminadas. La ignorancia no debe ser escusa para tropelias.Jjrt (talk) 20:01, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
Constitución Política del Perú de 1993
La ley LEY Nº 27806.- Ley de Transparencia y Acceso a la Información Pública, permite no solo al acceso si no a su uso ilimitado, dado que dicha ley no lo prohibe. De acuerdo la constitución Constitución del Perú (1993): Nadie está obligado a hacer lo que la ley no manda, ni impedido de hacer lo que ella no prohibe.
Respecto a Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory/Peru no encuentro que se refiera a este caso, y si dicha página dijera algo al respecto estaría equivocado, me comentas donde habla al respecto para ir a corregirlo.
Repito, la ignorancia no debe ser escusa para tropelias.Jjrt (talk) 20:52, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
Sobre Gustavo Mohme
Hola, en la imagen no hay ninguna violación de derechos ya que yo di todo el crédito a la página donde encontré la imagen y no está editada para nada. Solicito que se restaure al igual que en la de Henry Pease ya que se cumplió con todo lo que se pedía en la licencia. Saludos--Junior2912 (talk) 17:37, 20 August 2021 (UTC)Junior2912
Hola, sobre la imagen he visto que varios usuarios han subido como yo lo he hecho y no los han eliminado para nada. Además, no puede ser que haya varios políticos conocidos que no tengan una imagen, anteriormente yo subía sin dar créditos pero ahora me he corregido y lo subo de la manera legal como me han indicado. Lo único que quiero es que cada personaje tenga su imagen pero siempre lo hago de la manera correcta. Saludos--Junior2912 (talk) 23:00, 21 August 2021 (UTC)Junior2912
Autopatroller
Hi, Ovruni! You have made a lot of edits in Commons and they do not need to be patrolled anymore, so I just made you autopatroller. Thank you for your good work! Taivo (talk) 20:07, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Dear Wikimedian,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2023 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighteenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2023) to produce a single Picture of the Year.
Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

I have granted event organizer rights to your account which allow you to contribute in the Event namespace using CampaignEvents extension. You have been granted this right after a careful review of your contributions or your association with a Wikimedia affiliate or any campaign such as Wiki Loves Monuments. I believe you would use the rights in the best possible manner and not create event pages that are unrelated to the scope of the project. Should you not need the rights anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks for your contributions. GPSLeo (talk) 12:17, 18 December 2025 (UTC)
Wiki Loves Folklore 2026 has started, Join us!
Hello Ovruni,
The world’s traditions are disappearing faster than we can document them, but you can help change that.
On behalf of the Wiki Loves Folklore International Team, we are reaching out to invite you to contribute to the 2026 edition of our global campaign.
Share Your Cultural Heritage with the World
Wiki Loves Folklore is an international media contest dedicated to documenting the "intangible" beauty of our cultures. Whether it’s the vibrant colours of a folk festival, the rhythm of a traditional dance, the secrets of a family recipe, or the legends of your hometown, your media helps preserve these legacies for generations to come.
How You Can Contribute
Participating is simple, and every upload contributes to the world's largest free knowledge repository:
Capture: Take photos, record videos, or capture audio of folk activities, music, mythology, or traditional wear.
Upload: Share your files on Wikimedia Commons between 1 February 2026 and 31 March 2026.
Win: Beyond the satisfaction of preservation, there are international prizes for the most impactful contributions.
Filling in the Edit Summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the Edit Summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's name in the Edit Summary field - please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 05:45, 2 April 2026 (UTC)

Dear Wikimedian,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2025 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year is the twentieth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favourite images featured on Commons during the last year (2025) to produce a single Picture of the Year.
Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just five images to become the Picture of the Year.
Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2025 voting is open!

I also want to highlight what an incredible turnout we had. In the second round, we saw a massive jump in both the number of users voting and the total votes cast. We had exactly 13,979 votes cast by 3,509 users! To put that in perspective, last year we had 7,403 votes from 2,837 users. It is amazing to see that level of growth and community engagement.
Thank you to everyone who voted, helped organize, and generally made the contest such a huge success this year!
