A really useful and under recognized part of Wikimedia Commons are the more detailed deletion request discussions, and the supporting policies, guidelines and essays for interpreting copyright. It's worth reading through [1:Licencing], though I find [2:Copyright rules by territory] a constantly

Hi all,There was some discussion of orphan works in Wikimedia UK when the new legislation was introduced in May 2015. Please check government guidance in this. Unfortunately the new regulations are not very favourable to us. Arguing that creating exact copies created a new copyright would be

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Mass image uploads expert

Could they not be declared orphan works if there was some due diligence done to establish that the original authors could not be found? Couldn't you argue that the authorisation for making a copy of the originals produced a new copyright which was held by the museum? Presumably if someone's

Thanks Fae, If this does come off and you have a residue of awkward to categorise ones I might be available to sort them out if you can get them in a separate temporary category. I helped WMIE with Wiki Loves monuments last year and have nearly finshed the English residue of this years Wiki Loves

Rod, I'd be happy to help with a call/video meeting, or to run the modest-sized batch upload when they are ready. The numbers mentioned may take just a day or two to upload. At this moment I'm the most active Commons uploader of GLAM media, the can see examples at

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Mass image uploads expert

Fæ would be my first suggestion for a mass upload if he is available and the collection is suitable. But reading through that link I'm not sure we can use that collection. Apparently it was started forty years ago by a curator who invited people to bring in historic photos and lend them to the

Hi all, I have just spotted an announcement of a historic photograph digitisation project by the friends of the Somerset Life Museum Research Group (see https://somersetrurallifemuseum.org.uk/2016/10/13/digitisation-project/ ) aiming to digitise 15,000 images. I have made an initial
