Old removed file: Battle of Cable Street as reported in BUF Blackshirt.jpg uploaded over a decade ago by Zezen

Dear Komarof,

I have been away from any Wiki project for months or even years. Only recently I have relogged in and saw the legacy alert re this (ancient by now) removal: File:Battle of Cable Street as reported in BUF Blackshirt.jpg.

Re: "A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Battle of Cable Street as reported in BUF Blackshirt.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work." - by now I do not remember the tags and the description (including the legal releases) I had provided there, but given that: "The Battle of Cable Street was a series of clashes that took place at several locations in the East End of London, most notably Cable Street, on Sunday 4 October 1936" and it has been published very shortly afterwards by the British Union of Fascists (as per its very filename, the description and the newspaper content visible back then itself) and (as far as I can vaguely remember) the scanned newspaper showed no copyrightable illustration, just the original text - what was the Commons-specific problem back then? Maybe this will also help: "In 1939, following the start of the Second World War, the party was proscribed by the British government and in 1940 it was disbanded...." [which ipso facto means] "public identification and official condemnation of declared enemies of the state and it often involved confiscation of property" . Zezen (talk) 23:36, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
