Korean buildings

[edit]

You have nominated for deletion several photos I uploaded of buildings in Korea on the basis that "There is no commercial Freedom of Panorama in South Korea." So on that basis will you be deleting most photos in Category:Museums in South Korea and Category:Buildings in South Korea by location? Mztourist (talk) 06:20, 17 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

I have raised this at Village Pump: [1] Mztourist (talk) 06:40, 17 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
1. If the building's architect died before 1956, it's public domain. Buildings are not affected by URAA so if a building is PD in South Korea, we can keep them. 2.) South Korea might on the path towards commercial FOP for buildings. If they do pass that into law, deleted photos of buildings will be restored. Abzeronow (talk) 07:00, 17 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Possible new JF sockpuppet

[edit]

Just a head's up. I think this new user (P1898) is another JF sockpuppet. I haven't dug deep into their contributions, but so far they seem to be behaving. —seav (talk) 03:58, 8 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Seav I'll ping @Beeblebrox: whom I messaged on Metawiki about a similar case (meta:User talk:Beeblebrox#Valenzuela400 at enwiki). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 14:37, 8 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Concern about logo copyrights in the Philippines

[edit]

I was corresponding with the Copyright Division of the NLP regarding the 1998 Philippine Centennial logo. According to the staff member that emailed me back, "A logo is not included among the copyrightable works under R.A. 8293." I'm not sure how to interpret this, so I'm asking for your thoughts. --Aristorkle (talk) 09:38, 23 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Aristorkle kindly reply back about what kind of work the logo (logos in general) is under the copyright law. Kindly clarify again, considering some relatively simple logos have been granted copyright protection by the IPOPHL as per examples shown at COM:Philippines#Threshold of originality (most notably Photo Sikwate logo). Note that the National Library and the IPOPHL may have differing views.
