Question About Image Copyright for Public Figure
[edit]Hi, I noticed my upload (File: Haz Al-Din.png) was flagged for missing permission. I took the image from a public YouTube video thumbnail and cropped it, thinking that since Haz Al-Din is a niche public figure, it would fall under public domain or fair use. However, I now realize I may have misunderstood the licensing requirements. I have a few questions:
- Does the original YouTube uploader (Haz Al-Din) hold the copyright to the thumbnail, or is it considered a derivative work owned by YouTube?
- Since I cropped and modified the image, does that change the copyright status in any way?
- Would I need direct confirmation from Haz Al-Din himself to approve the image for Wikimedia Commons, and if so, how should I obtain that?
- What is the best license to use in this case? I initially thought public domain applied, but should I have chosen another option?
I want to make sure I follow the correct process - any guidance would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance! NEET FEET (talk) 22:01, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- The image is owned by the copyright holder, presumably Haz Al-Din. You either need to get him to upload a photo, take one yourself, find an image that is compatibly licesned with Commons (which is where you uploaded the photo), or follow the Commons process for getting permission. All of that said, I recommended reading the notability guidelines again. It is unlikely that Al-Din meets them. voorts (talk/contributions) 22:06, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- Got it, thanks for the clarification! So just to be 100% sure - if I can get Haz Al-Din to upload a photo himself (or get his explicit permission via the Commons process), then the image would be fine? And for "compatibly licensed" images, does that mean something like a photo from a news article that uses a CC license?
- I appreciate the guidance - I’ll check out the process again. On notability, I’m still looking into coverage, but he’s been in The Guardian, Newsweek, and Compact recently, so I figured he might qualify. Still learning the ropes here, though - any specific pointers on what counts the most? NEET FEET (talk) 22:19, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- Being mentioned in a news story isn't enough. We need in depth coverage about a person. voorts (talk/contributions) 22:20, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- Got it, I understand now that it needs in-depth coverage. I’ll keep looking for more sources.
- Just to clarify, have you had a chance to check my draft? I’m still working on it, and I’d appreciate any input on what might help improve it for notability.
- Also, if a Commons-compatible image does become available, that would be fine for use, correct? Just making sure I get everything right before moving forward. NEET FEET (talk) 22:33, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- You need an image licensed appropriately for Commons. Your draft needs better sources. It doesn't establish notability right now. voorts (talk/contributions) 22:38, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- You also bury the fact that he's considered to be a fringe voice. If anything, that would be what he's notable for. voorts (talk/contributions) 22:41, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Closing thread
[edit]Hello, you closed that thread 1 min after the other editor made several allegations.
I want to add more to that discussion. Moribundum (talk) 07:55, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- It is in your interest to take a break, craft a good unblock request, and come back when everyone has cooled down. That thread would not have led to you being unblocked. voorts (talk/contributions) 14:13, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- I have written a new unblock appeal but awaiting further advice about its suitability. I don't know who you are suggesting needs to cool down.
- The last comment on the thread you closed gave further "examples" of sourcing problems by harassing editor who continues to trawl through my edit history. Since sourcing concern was one of the reasons for block, reviewing admin will see that last comment and take it face value without any detailed breakdown or comment from myself. For example, MEDRS does not strictly apply to history section, since MEDRS relates mostly to health claims and not to historical info about a condition.
- Further, I have checked the incorrect citation and identified the correct source which should have been placed here Talk:Pudendal_nerve_entrapment#Sources_in_history_section, but can't do anything about it because of ban. It was human error only.
- Why did you close this thread 1 min after that comment? Moribundum (talk) 16:08, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- I was in the process of closing the thread before I saw that comment. voorts (talk/contributions) 16:49, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
