File:Acevedo, Rafael, House.JPG
Thanks for moving the discussion over here VernoWhitney. I also appreciate letting me know as well. I will also reply to this discussion here to Doncram versus my talk page. So I hope I am not repeating, just claryfing myself to Doncram, the Image on the left (Acevedo, Rafael, House.JPG) was taken by an employee of the institute of Puerto Rican culture(IPRC)...of which an OTRS verified PD license already exists. What I provided you as the link "here" was the Proof that the photographer was an employee of IPRC as listed on page 5 of the PDF so I don't understand the insistance that it is not PD.
There may be other Images that fall under this category and I am currently updating the licensing status which I mentioned to Doncram on my talk page. Also mentioned was the request that deletion of these images be delayed until potential PD license is requested by PRSHPO. Currently there is a Wiki Editor (Tony) investigating PD status and pending his findings, I have ceased uploading further images of this type. Also, I find it a little disheartening that this request was not mentioned here since Doncram was my first contact. Seems like there is trigger finger for deletion of these images is all. Quazgaa (talk) 20:31, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I do appreciate the update to the File:Acevedo, Rafael, House.JPG's documentation, which is substantial. Up to today, it claimed PD by incorrect assertion it was a photo by Federal employee, so I think my editing its page to remove that assertion was justified. I did reference above the discussion at Q's talk page, and while i didn't specifically mention the assertion there of further efforts to get all or some of these resolved, I did/do wish for those to be successful. I am quite happy that you obtained the public domain release/clarification for the IPC ones. --doncram (talk) 21:43, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I mentioned Tony obliquely above, but that's kind of beside the point. Given the existing OTRS permission, the File:Acevedo, Rafael, House.JPG image is likely public domain (he could have done the photographing while off-duty, but I think we can safely presume PD). As far as the rest go, they are attributed to a wide variety of photographers, so it seems to me that it's at least possible that not all of them were taken by employees of the IPC, which would mean they would require a different OTRS, which I imagine is what Tony has emailed about and is trying to get. I note that at least some of the ones listed above are sourced to the IPC, so maybe the can be resorted by who took which photos since, that would determine the copyright status. If they're determined to be non-free and replaceable (which they most likely are) and deleted, then if OTRS permission is received later they can always be undeleted.

Attempted Organization of Puerto Rico NRHP photos[edit]

Note that this is only a documentation of how they are currently tagged. I am still investigating the photographers and evidence of their associations.


The affiliation is given in Section 11: "Form Prepared By" of the NRHP nomination text document. Section 11 covers author and date of preparation, and is many pages into these documents . For this one it is on page 4 of a 6 page document, PDF text document here. --doncram (talk) 04:38, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

VernoWhitney (talk) 01:38, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the progress identifying 3 photos done, and providing info on others. The fact that the negatives are at the PR SHPO office is irrelevant though, I believe, based on what i know from other other cases. The national or state offices can routinely require negatives to be submitted, perhaps so they can be ensured of being able to make nice images later for their own use, but that does not mean copyrights were signed over. Same is true for Pennsylvania, for example, where the state office is quite clear that copyrights are not released. It is too bad the National Register organization did not anticipate that it would be helpful, much later when wikipedia would be invented, to have required release of copyrights of photos. They did not though, and, somewhat frustratingly, still don't. --doncram (talk) 03:19, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, so if the location of the negatives doesn't matter - and I'll grant that it's not conclusive, but it may be good for at least some kind of presumption since it doesn't appear to be mandatory here - then the only photo I've seen hard evidence for which explicitly ties it to either of the organizations is File:Acevedo, Rafael, House.JPG. Do you know of more evidence out there that could tie photographers to either organization? The nps website keeps timing out on me. :( VernoWhitney (talk) 12:03, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for sorting by photographer and considering further. What is the basis for the 2nd OTRS ticket, labelled PR SHPO ticket? The two photographers appear to be private architects Marisa Gomez and Ester Cardona, working as "Investigationes Bonaire, Inc." in 1984 (per Vega Alta church NRHP nomination text document's section 11, within this PDF. I believe that there was no process in place to transfer copyright of photos to the PR SHPO then (and there still is not for any state SHPO as far as i know). It is possible they did work under hire of PR SHPO with appropriate transfer required, but I can't tell that from info there. It could also have been a local organization or someone else hiring them, or without transfer of copyright as work for hire. Does the OTRS correspondence actually clearly address that? Article about place now at Church Inmaculada Conception of Vega Alta. Photo set document at here. --doncram (talk) 04:30, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The basis is a "Especialista Principal en Propiedad Histórica" (Specialist in Historic Property, per gtranslate) working for the PRSHPO which established that at least some of the photographs (specifically in the context of the Gomez/Cardona ones) were created as contract work and as such were PD (for the same reasons as the IPC ticket). Obviously we're taking their word on the terms of the contract, but I feel it's reasonable to do so in the absence of evidence to the contrary. No other photographers or photos were specifically addressed, thus my sorting above based on a presumption created by the location of the negatives. VernoWhitney (talk) 18:01, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, so you are sort of guessing. Actually, perhaps this helps: the two architects and their Investigacione firm authored a Multiple Property Submission on Puerto Rican churches, full report at http://www.nr.nps.gov/multiples/64000741.pdf. This is linked from the NRHP infobox in the Vega Church article, by the way. The report covered 25 churches (see list at end), of which many then were listed on the NRHP and some were not due to owner objections. I would now guess that the Investigacione firm got a contract to do that study for the PR SHPO. They may well have visited all 25 churches and took photos. I haven't checked, but i think all the items u put under the PR SHPO otrs request are churches that were covered in this study. Further, other churches in the study that became NRHP-listed would have their photos now available. So perhaps there are more photos which could be uploaded and fall under this PR SHPO otrs permission. --doncram (talk) 19:10, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I was asked to comment here by doncram - I have had success asking state government agencies in Pennsylvania for permission to use photos they have taken here on Wikipedia. For example, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation released all the pictures they had taken of bridges they owned in the state that were listed in a Multiple Property Submission. See File:Plunketts Creek Bridge No. 3 Summer.jpg and its OTRS ticket for more details. I have also had inquiries result in pictures being released by the Pennsylvania Bureau of State Parks and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, but not of NRHP listings. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 20:48, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In this case we have the permission (or rather their statement that the photos are PD), it's a matter of figuring out which ones they actually took (or contracted to be taken), in order to figure out which ones they actually can release. I'm going to go ahead and adjust the OTRS tags based on the evidence I used to sort them above, since this PUF comes up for review tomorrow. As we've established, this is just a presumption of PD, so if anyone knows of more evidence that's been missed, please speak up. VernoWhitney (talk) 01:37, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Note that I am also removing the IPC OTRS template from File:Antiguo Casino de Puerto Rico.JPG and File:Puerto Rico Ilustrado-Edificio El Mundo.JPG since I'm unaware of any evidence supporting their production by/for the IPC. VernoWhitney (talk) 01:44, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
