Template talk:Copyvionote: Difference between revisions

Good wording, Samulili. I just added another line because sometimes stuff is tagged mistakenly. It's not always the tagger is 100% correct. :) pfctdayelise (translate?) 10:05, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hm... after seeing this in action for a couple of weeks, I'm not so sure it's a great idea. Notifying the uploader is good but I think more specific personal messages are better for getting exactly what they did wrong across, e.g. "Screenshots don't create new copyright" / "Logos are generally unfree, so please don't upload them here" rather than this generic message. Guess it's better than nothing though... pfctdayelise (translate?) 11:50, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What if we added a field for reason to both this and {{Copyvio}}. Not only would it solve the problem you mention but also the anxiety I feel trying to empty Category:Against policy and going "Why is this an obvious copyviolation?" -Samulili 11:56, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you can't tell why it's a copyvio, definitely don't delete it. Untag it and post on the image talk page or tagger's talk page requesting them to nominate it on COM:DEL instead, since it's not clear. This is good because it still makes Category:against policy smaller even though you didn't delete anything. :) Or you can nominate it yourself like Arnomane does.

I don't think making the deletion process any more complicated is a good idea because many people already are confused, by the number of nominations in wrong places. --pfctdayelise (translate?) 12:04, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There was copyright-violation-alert concerning my published on Flickr photo "Burg Hirschhorn2" (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Burg_Hirschhorn2.jpg) I changed the copyright conditions, it's all right now. greetings Raymond

Lisäsäsin uuden "Copyionote" mallineen eli tuon saman mallineen suomeksi.Se on tässä([1]) voisiko joku ylläpitäjistä laittaa sen tuohon kilipalkkiin{{copyvionote/lang}} ?--Terveisin:CHELLBER 114 (Keskustele) 23:56, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the unnecessary heading from autotranslate to a simple == [[:File:Foo.jpg]] ==. Regretably the subtemplate Template:Copyvionote/heading/en is now used on many user talks and should stay. --Martin H. (talk) 13:21, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Despite the fact that this template is only used for so-called "obvious" copyvios, in some cases these may be uploaded by the original author, or otherwise okay. I think we should avoid language implying that the work is definitely a copyvio, like "pay attention to copyright," since this may scare or offend users who didn't do anything wrong. Something more like "One of your uploads has been flagged as a possible copyright violation, and will be deleted if an explanation is not provided." Dcoetzee (talk) 23:29, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with your proposal. Often enough a supposed copyvio isn't obvious. The author may always come up with a proof that it is no copyvio. However we'd need a broad consensus on this, otherwise we don't get every translation reworded. PanchoS (talk) 16:17, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The only strong wording for me as a non-native English speaker is the phrase "pay attention to copyright".

The suggested phrasing "One of your uploads has been flagged as a possible copyright violation" is to me just a slightly more complicated version of the current "[image] has been marked as a copyright violation."

But I agree that "pay attention to copyright" should be altered. I would suggest "Copyright is important". If that is too bold change, then at least a "please" could be added, e.g. "Please respect copyright", which would be a direct translation of the German phrasing "Bitte beachte Urheberrechte" and not need any translation rewording.

Hmm, not sure how I feel about "Copyright is important". How about "Notice of copyright issue" or "Please review copyright status" or something along those lines? Or maybe just remove the box on the left altogether? Dcoetzee (talk) 22:49, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If I may weigh in as someone who recently got very (unreasonably) angry about receiving such a notice.... It seems to me that the current wording is a bit abrupt and rude. It came across to me as harsh and high-handed. I would suggest somewhat softer wording, and also adding a mention of COM:UNDEL as a means of recourse and appeal. Personally I think I would not have been so upset if the language were slightly softer, and a means of adjutification were identified in the note. I'm all in favor of complying with the law, but seem to have gotten angry with the specific words used. With best wishes, Daderot (talk) 23:33, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to bring the ideas above together. The phrase, "that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose" seems to me to be of little use. The links in the following sentence provide clarity and should be emphasized. Since most users will be concerned with images, I would consider placing "Commons:Image casebook" first; readers that only view the first link will find it most helpful.

It has been two weeks with no comment since I proposed new wording. In a week, or so, I'd like to make that edit. Your comments are welcome in the meantime. Walter Siegmund (talk) 21:58, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I actually have an issue with the phrase "The file you added will soon be deleted." That seems too strongly worded and assumes the file is definitively a copyright violation. It also contradicts the sentence immediately following it. A simple swap to "may soon be deleted" would resolve it imo. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 12:55, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I encountered a broken link to the image discussion page in several languages.
I felt comfortable fixing the German, German (formal) and French versions by replacing the broken link to the talk page by a link to the image description page itself (exactly analogous to the English version, see my change).
However the respective changes in Nynorsk, Norsk (Bokmål), Polish, Slovakian and Swedish should be done by native speakers.

Please change "will soon be deleted" to "may soon be deleted" — adding this tag does not guarantee deletion. Nyttend (talk) 16:40, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Done (But you could have done it yourself, the English text is at Template:Copyvionote/en, which is freely editable.) --Mormegil (talk) 11:23, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is suggested to add the word possible to "has been marked as a [possible] copyright violation".
Regretably on my monitor this will cause an additional linebreak separating the help desk link to Commons:Help//desk, maybe we can save some space with removing the blank line before the deletion warning? --Martin H. (talk) 23:00, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

At least for me, when file name is entered (like here) it breaks lines even now. For what it is worth, "For images, you may" may be shortened to "Also, you may" --Justass (talk) 23:16, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just use a     to prevent line breaks between words. -- RE rillke questions? 20:01, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
