1996 WA election maps uploaded by Thomascampbell123 (talk · contribs)

As the original uploaded of this file I want it to be deleted. That's because the 1992 and 1996 presidential elections in Washington State were not comparable as Perot came in second place in some Washington counties in 1992. Thomascampbell123 (talk) 00:07, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

 Comment Unfortunately, the files cannot be automatically deleted at the uploader's request because they have been up longer than seven days. @Thomascampbell123: perhaps you could elaborate and tell us more about why you don't think these maps are useful. Phillipedison1891 (talk) 05:34, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
I do not believe that these maps are useful because an independent presidential candidate (Ross Perot) finished ahead of George H. W. Bush in some counties in Washington State in 1992. Therefore that election cannot really be compared with the previous and following elections. Thomascampbell123 (talk) 19:05, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
@Thomascampbell123: (1) Is anything now different than when you uploaded? (2) Do you intend to replace them with something that better conveys that information? - Jmabel ! talk 04:39, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
My answer to your first question is that no, nothing is now different than when I uploaded. My answer to your second question is that no, I do not intend to replace them with something that better conveys that information. However, there already is a note on the 1992 presidential election in Washington page that states Perot finished ahead of Bush in some counties. Thomascampbell123 (talk) 20:06, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Looking at the underlying numbers (not the images), it looks like comparing '96 to '92 Perot's share of the vote went about equally to the two major parties, so I'm not sure that makes the trend less valid.
Also: what's the difference between the "swing" and the "trend"? - Jmabel ! talk 23:32, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Sorry for the delay in response but the "swing" is how each county shifted from one year to another while the "trend" is how that county shifted relative to the state. For example, if a candidate from one party wins a county by a 2.51% margin in one election and a candidate from that same party wins that county by 4.57% the next election then the "swing" is 2.06% toward that party. If the state as a whole goes from voting for that party's candidate by a 7.89% margin in the first election to a 5.66% margin in the next election then the state swings 2.23% away from that party. The "trend" for that county in this example would be 4.29% toward that party since 2.23+2.06=4.29. Thomascampbell123 (talk) 01:15, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

File:Thumbnail IMG 7716.jpg

Signed French artwork from 1922. Only has a US license, could be PD if artist died before 1955 (soon to be before 1956). Abzeronow (talk) 00:59, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

 Comment The "Mary Evans Picture Library" (British) is currently selling rights to this illustration. The signature is... "Tortelier"? Maybe? Google Lens is no help. I've added {{Orphan works}}, maybe it's eligible under that policy. Phillipedison1891 (talk) 06:28, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
Update I contacted the Mary Evans Picture Library and they have no idea who the artist is either, so it's highly unlikely that they actually control the copyright. Phillipedison1891 (talk) 14:28, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
The signature is apparently Torlotin or Torloting. --Rosenzweig τ 09:18, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

File:Saddam Hussain Duty Uniform.jpg

This file was initially tagged by ~2025-39034-15 as Speedy (speedydelete) and the most recent rationale was: The file is tagged as PD-Iraq, but the stated source (majalla.com / المجلة) is a Saudi Arabian magazine, not an Iraqi publication. Therefore the work was not first published in Iraq, and Iraqi copyright law does not apply. The uploader misapplied PD-Iraq, which requires the work to originate from Iraq or be published there. Since Majalla is a copyrighted Saudi media outlet, this file is under Saudi copyright, not Iraqi public domain. No valid free license is provided. Converted to regular DR, the image is in use in multiple wikis, so there should be a discussion for this. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 03:20, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

This image was uploaded by a new editor who apparently misunderstood the meaning of "own work"; the editor in question is not the person who took this photograph in 1945. Jweiss11 (talk) 04:09, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

Might be PD for some notice reason, if someone wants to research it. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 19:03, 16 February 2026 (UTC)
Possibly a yearbook photo. Was the Oklahoma State University yearbook copyrighted in the 1940s? Abzeronow (talk) 03:51, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

This file was initially tagged by Abzeronow as no permission (No permission since). However, to me it looks like a self-made collage of an unproblematic logo and a blurry photo, which I could not find on the companies web site. Please elaborate, if it should be deleted.

Palazzo della Giustizia (Bolzano)

No FoP in Italy. This building's architects died only in 1966 (Paolo Rossi De Paoli) and 1981 (Michele Busiri Vici). Should still be protected by copyright. --Aciarium (talk) 18:56, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

@Friniate: would this building be covered by {{PD-ItalyGov}} ? Abzeronow (talk) 03:33, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
@Abzeronow I think it does, as we can read here it was commissioned by the State administration. It was finished in 1956 (see here), therefore it fell under PD in 1977. No issue with US copyright. Friniate (talk) 15:07, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
@Friniate Thank you for clarifying! What would be the next steps now, except for adding the corresponding FoP template to the nominated files? --Aciarium (talk) 15:33, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
@Aciarium It's not a FoP template, but a PD, Template:PD-ItalyGov (sorry for the correction, just to be sure that there are no misunderstandings ;-) )... What do you mean by the "next steps"? Friniate (talk) 15:46, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
I meant PD-ItalyGov indeed, but my paraphrasing was unlucky at best - thanks for clarifying :)
As I could understand by your other comment, eventually the deletion request will be concluded by the closing admin. After that: Is it up to me to remove Template:Delete from the corresponding pages, or is this a bot-based process? And: Should I already add Template:PD-Italy to the files without the fountain, while the deletion request is still open? --Aciarium (talk) 16:38, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
@Aciarium I've added PD-ItalyGov myself, the licensing is now ok :-)
As for the deletion template I don't know, probably @Abzeronow can give more answers than me... Friniate (talk) 17:07, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
@Friniate Alright, thank you! :) --Aciarium (talk) 22:06, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
I acknowledge the validity of the dispute. Having verified the death dates of architects Paolo Rossi De Paoli (1966) and Michele Busiri Vici (1981), it is clear that the work in question is still protected by copyright in Italy (until 2052).
​I also understand that Italian law does not provide full Freedom of Panorama (FoP) allowing the use of images for commercial purposes, which makes their permanence on Wikimedia Commons incompatible with the CC-BY-SA licenses used.
​I therefore accept that the images indicated must be removed.
Giovanni Ussi (talk) 16:52, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
@Giovanni Ussi No, no, read above, there's no need to delete, since it's a building commissioned by a public administration :-) Friniate (talk) 20:34, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

Whereas the building is ok, I've much more doubts on File:Bozen Gerichtsgebäude.JPG because of the fountain. It was made by it:Eraldo Fozzer and as we can read here it wasn't commissioned by the Municipality of Bolzano, which bought it in 1960 from the Municipality of Trento. But judging from this article with an interview with the daughter of the artist, it wasn't formally commissioned by the Municipality of Trento either. Therefore my guess is that it is still under copyright until 2066. That image would therefore be admissible only considering the fountain as de minimis. I'll leave the decision to the closing admin.--Friniate (talk) 16:26, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

The fountain seems a bit too prominent to be de minimis to me, and would be troublesome to crop out. (EDIT: But then again, the building is the subject and the fountain doesn't take too much space in the photograph. Fountain is definitely not a cut-and-dried thing on the DM question). Abzeronow (talk) 23:50, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
I think the whole discussion is nonsense. If you want to delete this image do it but bear in mind that nobody cares about your "doubts" nor about this presumed copyright. In Italy we have a saying: "Più realista del re". I have long made my mind not to upload any image more because I do not want to make gifts to this ludicrous prude institution (Wikipedia) which only cares about elite interests. So long.
