Alamy again

I just ran into some stuff while researching a local file. (which is also on Alamy somewhere, that's how I got sidetracked) You've shown interest in this in the past so I'll share just in case you're still interested:

c:File:Bombing of Dresden aftermath (36443580155).png is a colorization from Flickr. Black and white attributed to "Walter Hahn/AFP/Getty" by the Irish Times (AFP) / Pictorial Press Ltd on Alamy claims CC BY-SA,3.0 de for the black and white. This is weird, Pictorial Press doesn't appear to be a Wikimedia scraper. Maybe it's from Deutsche Fotothek, at least that would match the license, but I can't find it. I have no idea what's going on here.
Gilded stupa and a prajnaparamita on Alamy by "CPA Media Pte Ltd" is c:File:Museum of Ethnology Vienna 005.JPG. This is unambiguously CC BY-SA 3.0/GFDL. So if anyone (like Vysotsky maybe based on c:Commons:Forum/Archiv/2019/July) still believed BY-SA would protect your photos from being sold on Alamy, they're mistaken. This is possibly legal. The omission of an actual link to the license is likely minor enough to be overseen (legally, depends on the used interpretation of "reasonable to the medium") as the license abbreviation is there and the name of the author is clearly indicated. What's missing is a source link, but the license requires "to the extent reasonably practicable, the URI, if any, that Licensor specifies to be associated with the Work". Does uploading a file to Wikimedia Commons mean you "specify a URI to be associated with the Work"? I'll probably ask Legal about that. {{Not public domain}} would provide protection from this as it clearly associates the link/filename with the work.
Banska Stiavnica on Alamy by Jonathan ORourke is a copy of File:Banska Stiavnica- pohlad z Katovej ulice.jpg, but this appears to be a simple case of the wrong license tag on Commons, causing their scraper to include it.

I already wasted too much time on this, I just got sidetracked. Do with this information what you want, I need to get back to work on User:Alexis Jazz/Bawl. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 14:05, 5 January 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexis Jazz (talk • contribs) 21:35, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Don't try to silence humor and criticism

I'm telling you this because I like you. c:Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Jefftemp is the kind of thing that contributes to an RfA failing. You can't delete Wikipedia humor/criticism with hundreds of uses combined. It is not up to the party being criticized to determine what is or isn't acceptable. If Wikimedia projects can't deal with criticism/humor, it's over. We'd be no better than YouTube. Actually we'd be worse, as I haven't actually caught YouTube deleting criticism of themselves on their platform. And I know plenty of YouTubers who are shitting on YouTube on a regular basis. If a commercial company can deal with it, Wikimedia should certainly be able to handle this. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 19:06, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz: Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Jefftemp#Files in Category:Jefftemp (Adminpedia files) is dead now, many days before it's time. — Jeff G. ツ 10:26, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
