Talk:Rosa Raisa

message: I notice that this article sadly doesn't have a Wikimedia Commons category. The :File:Rosa Raisa.jpg is public doman, per LoC, but I am concerned that :File:Rosa Raisa as Rachel in La Juive.jpg may have to be deleted. According to , the opera was staged in 1937, so the photo dates to that year. There is a clear copyright tag defacing the picture, through I cannot decipher the signature. The copyright term is currently 70 years, so unless the photographer has died by 1944, the picture is likely still copyrighted; this may require further investigation per :commons:Template:PD-US-not renewed/:commons:Commons:Hirtle chart. In here, I want to ping User:Wikiuserthea - perhaps you could locate some public domain images we could use too further illustrate this article? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:38, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Update about the photo of Raisa as Rachel: it was taken in December 1922 as Raisa sang her first Rachel on the New Year's Eve 1922 and this publicity photo was printed on January 1, 1923 to accompany the reviews. We are unaware when the photographer died, so it seems that there is no copyright violation as the photo dates from Dec. 1922 (though printed in the publicity materials on 1/1/1923). Most importantly, the second picture, showing a woman waving her hand, is not Rosa Raisa. Mr. Mintzer identified her as Cyrena Van Gordon, the Chicago Opera mezzo-soprano. Someone uploaded it here probably because it's in public domain and misidentified as Raisa in the Library of Congress digitalized collection. We will inform the LoC about this error in their digital catalogue and replace the picture in the Wikipedia article with the actual photo of Raisa in its place.Wikiuserthea (talk) 23:38, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Images

message: It took me a while, but I am afraid many images here are, in light of laws, copyright violations. As "crazy" as it may sound, the law forbids us to publish such images for many decades yet. See Commons:Village_pump/Copyright/Archive/2015/05#What_is_the_copyright_for_presumably_American.2C_anonymous.2C_unpublished_photos_from_1923.3F. I don't intend to nominate them for deletion, but I think you and the book author, Mr. Mintzer, should be made aware of this. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:45, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
