Violation of the integrity right and other rights

edit

Dear Mr. Nagraisalovic,

You replaced my original image thumb|left with another image that is actually a mutilated and distorted fragment of my original work, but it is wrongfully attributed to me in Serbian Wikipedia. The mutilated and distorted image appeared in the article on Sophie Marceau in Serbian Wikipedia (your revision at 22:22 on February 15, 2008, Софи Марсо ).

My own original work is the image of Sophie Marceau with my father, Petr Shelokhonov. I took the photo after the actors finished filming a scene for Anna Karenina and made themselves available for photographers. Sophie Marceau was very nice, graceous and generous, she projected a radiant ambience and made people around her very happy. My father and I were both impressed with the beauty, talent, and professionalism of this fine actress. My father, Petr Shelokhonov, died in 1999, and I gave some of his original images of my own work to Wikipedia, and to public domain. However, the integrity of my own work remains under protection of both federal and Florida law, and other international laws that are honored by Wikipedia policy.

I made the above image to document the meeting and work of two film actors, Sophie Marceau and my father, Petr Shelokhonov.

Article 6bis of the Berne Convention protects attribution and integrity, stating: Independently of the author's economic rights, and even after the transfer of the said rights, the author shall have the right to claim authorship of the work and to object to any distortion, mutilation or other modification of, or other derogatory action in relation to, the said work, which would be prejudicial to his honor or reputation.


Please consider the following:

1. Use of the mutilated and distorted image Слика:Sophie Marceau2.jpg is in violation of the integrity right protecting the original image from mutilation and distortion. The integrity of my original work, even donated to public domain, is still under protection of both federal and Florida law, and other international laws.

2. The file in Serbian Wikipedia Слика:Sophie Marceau2.jpg is not my work, but it is a mutilated and distorted part of my original work [Image:Peter Shelokhonov with Sophie Marceau 1997.jpg], and such mutilation and distortion was done without my prior knowledge.

3. The template from my original image [Image:Peter Shelokhonov with Sophie Marceau 1997.jpg] was improperly used with the mutilated image Слика:Sophie Marceau2.jpg in Serbian Wikipedia. Improper use of my template from my original image was done without my prior knowledge.

You may calmly consider helping Wikipedia by correcting the violations:

a) undo the misuse of my original licensing template that was improperly used with the mutilated and distorted image Слика:Sophie Marceau2.jpg in Serbian Wikipedia.
b) undo mutilation and distortion done to the original image [Image:Peter Shelokhonov with Sophie Marceau 1997.jpg]

Dear Mr. Nagraisalovic,

Thank you for your message, and thank you very much for creating the new page for Petr Shelokhonov on Serbian Wikipedia.

My message to the Serbian Wikipedia users was treated with good understanding, and my request to use my original image was honored.

It is good to know that your discussion with your fellow wikipedians was carried with respect to my late father.

Way to go in making Wikipedia better.

Now I am addressing my objection to any distortion, mutilation or other modification of, or other derogatory action in relation to, the said work, which would be prejudicial to honor and reputation of my late father, Petr Shelokhonov.

Would you consider following through and voting per my request to delete the mutilated image, you may visit Deletion requests/Image:Sophie Marceau2.jpg [1]

It is not only the issue of integrity and attribution, but also a matter of common sense, mutual respect and reputation regarding all parties involved.

Your cooperation is appreciated

Regards,

Hi. When you recently edited Republika Srpska, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pale (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
