• User:Ronhjones added {{db-imgcopyvio|url=http://nature.berkeley.edu/~magnacca/pictures/plants/Hibiscus%20brackenridgei%20Volcano%20flower.jpg dated 01 June 2005 02:53:06 linked from http://nature.berkeley.edu/~magnacca/pictures/Malvaceae.html}}. However, the web site http://nature.berkeley.edu/~magnacca/ appears to belong to the uploader, so I don't think that there is any problem. Stefan2 (talk) 00:43, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Correct, that is my website. Given that my Wikipedia username is not even a pseudonym, it sounds like User:Ronhjones needs a lesson in how to add 1 + 1. KarlM (talk) 01:21, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

=2? We cannot prove 100% any user owns any website. It wouldn't be the first time that a user creates a username as a "fan" of a website. We have to be 100% confident that no person's copyright has been violated, WP:AGF cannot apply in such cases. In this case the image definitely appeared on a web site with no license prior to the wikipedia upload, therefore we have to assume a copyright violation, unless the web site owner can prove he is the same as the user, either by adding a license to the web site, or by OTRS ticket.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 01:35, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This reasoning is so ridiculous I'm not even sure how to argue against it. If I had put it up here first it would be fine, but since it was up first on a site with my name and personal information the same as in my user profile, linked to in my user profile, it's assumed to be a violation despite no actual evidence? It's already tagged with "I created this," but you flagged it as "blatant copyright violation". If you don't accept that, then if I put a license on the site, how is it any less likely that I didn't put it up there after copying it from somewhere else? 100% confidence is impossible, especially if you imagine how much can be concocted. KarlM (talk) 08:21, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to sending an OTRS ticket for this image, I've added a notice to the site saying that any images uploaded here by me are released, so that I don't have to go through all this rigamarole for every single picture I've put up. KarlM (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the statement at this page is enough: it is confirmed that someone who can edit that web site approves the licences on Wikipedia. --Stefan2 (talk) 11:40, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• It says that this is a derivative work of File:Blue Puzzle Marble in stand.png. That file was removed a few weeks after uploading this file because it was a "copyright infringement subsequently detected by the creator". It is thus likely that this also is a copyright infringement. I also think that XCF might not be the most appropriate file format for storing files on Wikipedia.

• Is the permission claim ("The website is powered by Wordpress (http://www.wordpress.com). The Terms of Service stated 'the downloading, copying and use of the Content will not infringe the proprietary rights'. That stated any media file uploaded in any website powered by Wordpress is free to copy and distribute.") really correct? Sounds unlikely. Stefan2 (talk) 16:24, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not free. The full sentence from the terms is "the downloading, copying and use of the Content will not infringe the proprietary rights, including but not limited to the copyright, patent, trademark or trade secret rights, of any third party" (emphasis added). This means that uploaders of content agree that their content does not infringe on someone else's copyright. It does not create a blanket obligation for uploaded content to be licensed freely, as the uploader believes. RJaguar3 | u | t 07:59, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
