Carney, election articles

Hi. Please see my edit summary here. Your edits are clearly in good faith, but there is much that is not in keeping with our guidelines. These are currently high-profile articles linked from our main page, so we need to be especially cautious. Please also consider using edit summaries, which is considered good practice and would help other editors understand your intentions. Thank you. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 02:37, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

I feel like I've just been called an asshole, and ignorant, politely. Pablowikicommons (talk) 08:34, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

Also, just wanted to add: Please take a look at our guideline MOS:JOBTITLE. Thanks. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 02:48, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Great seal - with border.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Great seal - with border.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under the non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 15:11, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

The Great Seal of Canada is the very legal and equitable symbol of Canadian sovereignty. Canadian sovereignty belongs to all of the people of Canada. The Government of Canada, through the Governor General's office, is obviously seeking to make the design of the Great Seal known far and wide. Surely there must be some rationale for displaying the current design of the Great Seal of Canada on Wikipedia. I assert Wikipedia has a duty to help make the Canadian people aware of the new Great Seal, and all people aware of the new Great Seal, without fetterment on such a prominent medium as Wikipedia. Pablowikicommons (talk) 15:41, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Uh, no, the Great Seal of Canada, and all items produced by the federal government is held under Crown Copyright (see Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Canada, Copyright in Canada, and Crown copyright for more details). Works created by the federal government, especially those pertaining the Crown, are protected under Crown copyright for at least 50 years and require express permission for reproduction or distribution from the government (essentially any federal/provincial/territorial work after December 31, 1974 falls under this protection).

While the Governor General has made the design of the Great Seal public for informational purposes, that does not equate to releasing it for unrestricted public use. Hell with regard to the Great Seal, the image is not only under Crown copyright (as a government work), the Seal in itself is even more strictly controlled with unauthorized reproductions being illegal through the Security of Information Act (as stated in the Great Seal article).

Wikipedia’s only duty are its key pillars, one of which is that its a free encyclopedia, including the content it uses. All images on Wikipedia must either be in the public domain or licensed under free licenses such as Creative Commons (WP:NFC explains the non-free content guidelines), which excludes Crown-copyrighted material from unrestricted upload.

If an image of the current Great Seal is to be included, it would require a valid non-free content rationale in line with Wikipedia’s policies, or alternatively, a technically accurate but sufficiently distinct representation from the Great Seal, similar to how copyrighted coats of arms are treated on this site, or like what we did with the Canadian Royal Crown, where an editor created an illustration that was "technically accurate", but distinct enough from the government’s official design to avoid copyright infringement.

Pablowikicommons, you are an ignorant asshole.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Great seal - with border.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Great seal - with border.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a copyright violation and has no credible claim of fair use or permission. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
