File:Gareth Mallory Profile.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by SchroCat (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

I question the contextual significance of this non-free screenshot(?) of Ralph Fiennes as “M” (real name Gareth Mallory). Sure, Fiennes (as “M”) appears face- and clean-shaven and well and professionally dressed, but I’m skeptical about the image’s impact on readers, especially general ones, of the article about this “M” character of the James Bond franchise.

Actually, I’m questioning more about its “irreplaceability” factor. I may want to use a free pic of Fiennes himself, like one from 2018, another from 2013, or one from last year. George Ho (talk) 01:00, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The image has been replaced.  ⚙️ WidgetKid 🙈🙉🙊  15:23, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Didn’t realize that SchroCat (uploader) switched the images. Regardless, changed back for now per Iruka13. —George Ho (talk) 17:48, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind. The uploader re-reversed back to one of free images (diff). Thinking about tagging this non-free screenshot soon with “db-author”… George Ho (talk) 01:50, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t remember what the character looked like in all three films, but the replacement photos provided are too different from the non-free image. — Ирука¹³ 12:29, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Per your reply, I switched a free image back to this non-free one for now. —George Ho (talk) 17:48, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The uploader then re-reversed back to the free image (diff). Shall I tag the screenshot with “db-author” then? –George Ho (talk) 01:50, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It’s just the flag, a simple ball which is below the threshold of originality, and text, which is also below it. Move to Commons. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 11:49, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If they decide not to move to Commons, they’ll make it PD-US. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 11:52, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article isn’t about the auction alone make it unsuitable for the page for NFCC Vestrian24Bio 14:36, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy move to Commons. The country of origin of this logo is Italy, a country with a very high threshold of originality. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 19:08, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy move them to Commons. These images are Italian works, a country with a very high threshold of originality. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 19:24, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also move File:Sky Cinema Due +24 – 2021 logo.svg , File:Sky Cinema Due +24 HD – 2021 logo.svg , File:Sky Cinema Due HD – 2021 logo.svg , File:Sky Cinema Uno +24 – 2021 logo.svg , File:Sky Cinema Uno +24 HD – 2021 logo.svg , File:Sky Cinema Uno HD – 2021 logo.svg , and File:Sky Sport Uno HD – 2020 logo.svg to Commons.

• For now, do not transfer all to Commons – Sky Italia was/is a subsidiary of Sky Group, a British company. Huh… Either forgot or didn’t realize that Sky Group is now part of Comcast. The logos you wanted to transfer are still subject to c:COM:TOO UK as they have been still part of the British company, regardless of Sky Italia’s HQ location. George Ho (talk) 19:38, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I’ve asked to move the Italy-specific logos, not all logos used by Sky Italia, as some of them may be or are identical to the ones used by Sky UK. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 20:21, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Which ones are not made by Sky Italia then? George Ho (talk) 00:45, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  For example, “Sky Sport” is the Italian branch, while “Sky Sports” is the British one. Some words like “Uno” and “Due” are clearly Italian, so these would be Italian works. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 13:30, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Those logos are still of British property, despite being used for Italian channels. Most likely, the Sky Group, the British entity, must have used “Uno” and “Due” to appeal Italian senses, huh? Also, the Sky logo still has some graphic effects that may guarantee protection from the British law. (some of them may be or are identical to the ones used by Sky UK) Your own words. George Ho (talk) 20:50, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  With “only the potentially identical” I meant these logos: File:Sky Atlantic – Logo 2020 (TV channel).svg , File:Sky Investigation (television channel).svg , File:Sky Cinema Collection – 2021 logo.svg , File:Sky Cinema Family – 2021 logo.svg , File:Sky Cinema Action – 2021 logo.svg , File:Sky Cinema Suspense – 2021 logo.svg , File:Sky Cinema Romance – 2021 logo.svg , File:Sky Cinema Drama – 2021 logo.svg and File:Sky Cinema Comedy – 2021 logo.svg . These I just mentioned are probably or possibly identical to those used by Sky UK and therefore shouldn’t be moved to Commons. The others I mentioned previously above are not likely to be, or more certainly, not used, by Sky UK. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 19:55, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Oh… Still, both Sky Italia and Sky UK are still part of Sky Group. Why should Sky Italia be treated like a mere Italian entity to be subject to c:COM:TOO Italy, not one belonging to the British company subject to “COM:TOO UK”? George Ho (talk) 23:24, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The ones only used by Sky Italia should be treated as Italian works, respecting Wikipedia precedents. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 08:27, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Which Wikipedia precedents? George Ho (talk) 08:33, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  For example, the logos of British subsidiaries of American companies. The logo of Lay’s is below the threshold of originality in the United States, but the logo of Walker’s is possibly above the United Kingdom’s threshold of originality. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 15:46, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Unfortunately, I remain unconvinced that the precedent you cited is corrected. Actually, was hoping you find other “Italian” logos that are of British properties. I’ve just now listed the Walkers logo (File:Walkers logo.png) for discussion. George Ho (talk) 19:29, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
