Files for discussion (FfD) is for listing images and other media files which may be unneeded or have either free content or non-free content usage concerns. Files that have been listed here for more than 7 days are eligible for either deletion or removal from pages if either a consensus to do so has been reached or the nominator specifically requests deletion or removal and no objections are raised. To quote the non-free content criteria, "it is the duty of users seeking to include or retain content to provide a valid rationale; those seeking to remove or delete it are not required to show that one cannot be created." For undeletion requests, first contact the administrator who deleted the file. If you are unable to resolve the issue with that administrator, the matter should be brought to deletion review. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
What not to list here[edit]
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Instructions for listing files for discussion Use Twinkle. If you can't, follow these steps to do manually:
State the reasons why the file should be deleted, removed, or altered. Also, state what specific action should be taken, preferably in bold text; this allows discussion participants and closers to better understand the purpose of the nomination. Some examples of nomination statements include:
Examples of what files you may request for discussion, deletion or change here:
These are not the only "valid" reasons to discuss a file. Any properly explained reason can be used. The above list comprises the most common and uncontroversial ones. If you remove a file from an article, list the article from which you removed it so there can be community review of whether the file should be deleted. This is necessary because file pages do not remember the articles on which the file were previously used. If you have general questions about a file and/or its copyright status, then please start a new thread at Media Copyright Questions. |

Instructions for discussion participation
[edit]In responding to the deletion nomination, consider adding your post in the format
* '''View''' - Reasoning ... -- ~~~~
where "Delete", "Keep", "Comment", or something else may replace "View". In posting their reasoning, many editors use abbreviations and cite to the following:
- Wikipedia:NFCC#1 – Free equivalent is/is not available
- Wikipedia:NFCC#8 – Significance
- Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images 2 – Unacceptable image use
Remember that polling is not a substitute for discussion. Wikipedia's primary method of determining consensus is through editing and discussion, not voting. Although editors occasionally use straw polls in an attempt to test for consensus, polls or surveys sometimes impede rather than assist discussion. They should be used with caution, and are no more binding than any other consensus decision.
Also remember that if you believe that an image is potentially useful for other projects and should be moved to Wikimedia Commons, in lieu of responding '''Move to Commons'''
, you can move it there yourself. See Wikipedia:Moving files to the Commons for instructions.
Instructions for closing discussions
[edit]Nominations should be processed for closing after being listed for 7 days following the steps here.

- File:André Derain, 1907 (Automne), Nu debout, limestone, 95 x 33 x 17 cm, Musée National d'Art Moderne.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Coldcreation (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
See c:COM:ART#Photograph of an old sculpture found on the Internet, or in a book. The photo seems to have been taken by the uploader, but the uploader never seems to have licensed the photo. Stefan2 (talk) 17:46, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I'm not sure which license would be appropriate. If you have any idea please let me know. Coldcreation (talk) 10:41, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Coldcreation: since you took the photo yourself, take your pick of the options at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#File creators. CC-BY 4.0 and CC-BY-SA 4.0 are the best options for most cases. Wikiacc (¶) 20:56, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- File:Zara Larsson - VENUS (Vinyl Cover).jpeg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Camilasdandelions (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
The image/logo is not located at the top of the article, and is not serves as the primary means of visual identification of the subject (WP:NFCC#8, 10c / WP:NFCI). Image/logo is not the object of sourced commentary, and is used primarily for decorative purposes (WP:NFC#CS); its omission would not be detrimental to understanding of the topic. — Ирука13 16:11, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep – The digital/streaming release's cover art is more provocative and more revealing than the CD/vinyl one. Omit this (CD/vinyl) cover art, and you'd be left with the more provocative and revealing cover art. Furthermore, neither CD nor vinyl is a dead format (yet), despite their lack of prominence compared to their own heydays.
- Also, it's not like Rebel Heart, whose main artwork shows the musician's/artist's face wrapped in wires and is less provocative and revealing than this (other) album's. Well, it's not like Love for Sale (Boney M. album) either, which has critical commentary. I even nominated its alternative cover to FFD just once, and the result was "kept". Nonetheless, even artworks lacking critical commentary may still be contextually significant to the album and its releases/editions. George Ho (talk) 18:26, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hello, so you want to delete this file because it doesn't contain any logos, but VENUS original cover has no logos, then you want to delete that too? Camilasdandelions (talk) 02:57, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- File:Autorretrato con boina roja, Frida Kahlo, 1932.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by DogeGamer2015MZT (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
Unclear copyright status. This has been tagged with {{PD-US-no notice}}, which implies that it was first published in the United States. However, it has also been tagged with {{Copy to Wikimedia Commons in}} with an expiration based on Mexican copyright law, which implies that it was first published in Mexico. Stefan2 (talk) 00:00, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: Kahlo was living in the U.S. at the time that the self-portait was made. If we consider this as publishing without copyright notice, then it is in the Public Domain. P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 21:22, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep per P, TO 19104. Randy Kryn (talk) 09:13, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete unless information can be found about the details of first publication. The source country is (generally) where the work was first published, not where the work was created. Wikiacc (¶) 00:30, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
- File:Penguin Crime I.JPG (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by KF (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
One cover is enough for demonstration (WP:NFCC#3). Moreover, to demonstrate the appearance, it is enough to take any simple cover and replace the company logo with a white oval - the encyclopedic significance of the image will not suffer from this (WP:FREER). Image is not the object of sourced commentary (WP:NFCC#8). — Ирука13 12:30, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. It seems useful to me to demonstrate the degree of variation vs degree of consistency across the scheme. The rightmost cover is an example of the Marber Grid, noted later in the article. Caption could be made more informative to highlight this. Jheald (talk) 22:03, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- File:New Orleans Logo.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by AirportExpert (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
This logo does not meet the Threshold of Originality. The fleur-de-lis is ineligible for copyright based on the fact that it is too simple of a shape and older than the city of New Orleans. The stylized version is not complicated enough to merit copyright, in my opinion. P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 21:17, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep and retag with an appropriate PD Logo tag. Stifle (talk) 15:18, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- File:Barney72642.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Pepso2 (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
Non-free file may actually be free. I can't find a copyright renewal for this 1942 US comic strip in Artwork 1965-1977. But maybe I'm not looking in the right place. Wikiacc (¶) 02:02, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

- Apparently, Iruka13 has absolutely no understanding of how Wikipedia works. There is a consensus that in articles about music singles it is acceptable to use the cover art for each version.--Sanslogique (talk) 06:57, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- Please provide a link to the discussion where this consensus was reached. — Ирука13 12:56, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- There is no such link (or maybe there is), because the consensus is based on common usage practices. A lot of articles use multiple images of singles, if that doesn't suit you, you can start a discussion about it so that only one remains, at the top of the page.--Sanslogique (talk) 14:19, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- So you agree that the image doesn't meet 2 of the 10 WP:NFCC points, but it should be kept because there are similar images in similar articles? — Ирука13 10:45, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- No. I agree that you should start a discussion about removing single covers from other articles if you are not satisfied with the current consensus. Otherwise, I will regard your edits as vandalism.--Sanslogique (talk) 14:49, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- Knock it off. Opening an FFD to establish consensus isn't vandalism. hinnk (talk) 22:27, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

- Delete WP:NFCI isn't met here, since this version of the song is only being discussed for 3 sentences. hinnk (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 22:27, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep – Two versions became hits in the same year, 1961. One topped in two countries; this (other) topped in two other countries. Hard to tell which version is more prominent than the other. Oh, and an amount of sentences isn't a sufficient indicator/measurement of "contextual significance". Rather two versions were equally and locally successful, and neither is more prominent than the other, so deleting this cover art and keeping the other wouldn't be wise, IMO. George Ho (talk) 04:11, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, fails NFCC#3a using multiple images where one would suffice. Stifle (talk) 15:16, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- File:Amity University logo.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Muhandes (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
Don't see a need for this considering File:AmityUni-logo.png exists now. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 14:25, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep and delete File:AmityUni-logo.png: This is a free-use image, limited to 100,000 dots. In this version, nearly the entire image (aside from some whitespace) is dedicated to displaying the seal. In contrast, the alternative version uses less than 30% of the image for the seal, with the remainder duplicating the text "Amity University," which is already present on the seal itself. Muhandes (talk) 14:34, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- It's not a free use image. Stifle (talk) 15:16, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Stifle: can you explain your reasoning a little further? —Ganesha811 (talk) 19:12, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

- File:Black Myth Wukong, princess.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Cold Season (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
The non-free screenshot currently used in the Black Myth: Wukong article under the Synopsis section primarily serves a decorative purpose. As the screenshot itself is not the subject of any sourced commentary, the required context outlined in WP:NFCC#8 is lacking. Using this non-free image is not essential to convey the point that the video game Black Myth: Wukong is inspired by the classical novel Journey to the West. Wcam (talk) 21:36, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. Your claim that it is decorative is false. It is used to make a comparison between the video game and the classical novel (the original work serving as the inspiration for the video game).
- It shows how the video game uses elements from the classical novel, such as in its game characters (Rakshasi is a character that drives a plotline) and its gameplay (the Plantain Fan is an item used in combat). This purpose is further highlighted by the fact that this non-free image is used in conjunction with a (public domain) image from the original work in a {{Multiple image}} template, which actually does contain commentary sourced to IGN, South China Morning Post, et al. Both the character and the item depicted are discussed in the Wiki article and the caption. --Cold Season (talk) 01:10, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- The article's main text lacks any sourced commentary specifically discussing the design of the Rakshasi character. The only mention of Rakshasi is within the Plots section, where numerous characters are briefly mentioned, failing to provide the specific context required by WP:NFCC#8. Furthermore, the use of this non-free image is not essential to convey the game's inspiration from the classical novel Journey to the West. The game's overall design and character concepts, including Rakshasi, are clearly influenced by the novel, and this can be conveyed through textual descriptions and references to the source material (WP:FREER#b). Wcam (talk) 04:32, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- That requirement is well-fulfilled. There is sourced commentary about the character, the similar role she fulfills in both stories, and the similar item (a plantain fan) she possess in both stories. This is all highlighted in the text and both images. Therefore, the non-free image (from the video game) in conjunction with the free image (from the novel) is invaluable to highlight how the video game has been inspired by the novel, whether characters, stories, or gameplay. --Cold Season (talk) 15:02, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 00:26, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Black Myth: Wukong currently has four non-free images. Just the logo and the gameplay screenshot should suffice. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:16, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- There are now three images (since the one directly below is deleted). They all serve different purposes: (1) cover, (2) gameplay, and (3) this specific image which is the only item to provide a comparative commentary between novel and game, meeting the non-free content criteria. And should therefore be kept. And what you say is not a sufficient argument otherwise, as the two other images do not share this function. --Cold Season (talk) 16:29, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- File:American sailboat.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Extermino (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
Unable to determine who painted this and when this was painted. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 05:09, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- The painting is by John Ambrose (1931-2010), a British painter and member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:33, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

- File:Narmer palette 83d40m hathor atop columns below belt of king.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by 83d40m (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
The image is obviously a cut-out and slightly enlarged part of this image. According to c:COM:Own work, such an action does not give authorship. The columns "Source", "Author" and "Date", as well as the license, must be re-issued in accordance with the original photo. Which must be deleted, but here is not Commons. — Ирука13 00:51, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the headsup, User:Iruka13. I made the closeup photograph that is diplayed to the left and followed what was understood in its description when creating the WP file. I do not know why you presume an image from which it is cropped. It seems that the disposition of a specific file is why you are calling for the action you have noted regarding the file I uploaded that was accepted during review — years ago.
- Loss of the closeup image seems detrimental to WP where it is applied to the discussion of the minute detail at the article on the Narmer_Palette, please do not delete it. I also plan to use it for an edit of another article.
- The subject is an Ancient Egyptian artifact of unknown artistic origin, a cosmetic tray. No claim regarding creation of the artifact is asserted, only of creation of the closeup photograph. Noting the detail about Hathor on top of columns depicted below the belt of a king figure depictred on the tray — has a distinct purpose that calls for the closeup.
- Please clarify exactly how you would prefer the description to read and I will edit the file following your instructions.
- Also, my understanding is, that an editor is free to exercise the option offered to stipulate local retention — please advise whether that has been changed — as I continue to want to exercise that option. I do not understand your last sentence, please clarify that as well. _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk) 02:15, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- I decided this because I saw several similar images in your contribution - unlike this one, the source of those images is only other images, although the file description says that you are their author. And also because of the lack of metadata. And, of course, when comparing the images as such.
- Please provide a link to the discussion in which the image was accepted.
- This is not necessary, but I would like to see the full image with metadata. — Ирука13 05:22, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

- File:Genesis76-82boxset.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by BoffoHijinx (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
Since the visual design of box set in the article is not described in terms of reliable sources, the image in the infobox can only be used as a means of identification (WP:NFCC#8 / WP:NFCI). A two-dimensional image is sufficient for this purpose (WP:NFCC#3b). In addition, this three-dimensional object has two licenses: the object's license and the photographer's license. In this case, they are both non-free. It is possible to make a freer image by photographing the 3D object yourself; or turn it into a two-dimensional one. — Ирука13 17:43, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose The photograph of the box set is clearly done by the publisher that owns the copyright to the box set and cover art (as part of the promotional material to send out the box art), so there is not a separate copyright, so the FREER argument falls apart. Once you clear that, then the other arguments for delete fall apart - the 3d photograph will have the same copyright burden as the 2d cover. Masem (t) 23:26, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Even if this image is indeed made by the copyright holder, according to WP:NFC#UUI#16 we should not use it.
- From your answer I still don't understand why we need to use a 3D image of the box set and its contents if a 2D image of the front of the box is sufficient for identification. — Ирука13 18:35, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- File:Banking Closure in 1929 - New York City.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Utahecon6 (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
The source page does not actually say if it was published in 1929 or not, so it could still be copyrighted. Also, as the source is the BBC, the photo, if published, could have been published first in the UK, in which case it would at best be {{PD-US-1923-abroad}} instead of {{PD-US}}. Stefan2 (talk) 22:01, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- An IP changed {{PD-US}} to {{PD-US-1923-abroad}} but did not provide evidence that it was published before 1930. --Stefan2 (talk) 16:11, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

[edit]- File:Starship - We Built This City.ogg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Dawnseeker2000 (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
File's contextual significance to the whole song questionable. Song demonstration ≠ contextual significance. George Ho (talk) 06:11, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: This short sound clip of We Built This City is a portion of the song's refrain. It meets the contextual significance criterion defined in WP:NFC#CS because it allows the reader to identify the song that is subject of discussion in the article. Literally, the title of the song, We Built This City, is sung throughout the clip. It is not simply a song demonstration — it is a portion of the song that defines the work. - tucoxn\talk 13:27, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

[edit]DVD covers of Look Around You

- File:LookAroundYou Series2DVD.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Gram123 (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
De-PRODding rationale was this: harmless; useful for identification; and usefully gives a sense of the feel of the series
. However, usefulness is something to be careful to argue about. So is "harmless". Neither usefulness nor harmlessness is an excuse for the DVD covers' potential failure to comply with NFCC. Sure, there are actors in the covers, but I don't see how they add anything to understanding, i.e. contextually signify, the short-lived TV parodical series. Also, treating individual seasons/series as if they are individually notable may insufficently justify use of the DVD covers... unless we wanna be consistent with other articles using DVD covers? So far as I can see, very few or no articles use DVD covers as separate from title cards or title logos for TV series articles. George Ho (talk) 21:52, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

It's the original album cover before it got reissued, so I think it can be kept on the page. I don't see why it shouldn't be kept. Statik N (talk) 05:18, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- Wikipedia has strict criteria for fair use images. See WP:NFCC Traumnovelle (talk) 07:07, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NFCC#3a. Stifle (talk) 13:57, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep As the cover of the original version of the album, this should be the main image in the infobox, per Template:Infobox album#cover. File:Spitalbumcover.jpg should be kept as an alternate cover, since it's significantly different from the original and has largely replaced it. hinnk (talk) 06:35, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- File:Antichrist Superstar Alternate Cover.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Statik N (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
The file is an alternate album cover of Antichrist Superstar, in which File:Marilyn Manson - Antichrist Superstar.png is already used as the visual representation (also cf. #File:Spitalternatecover.jpg). The file therefore violates WP:NFCC#3a, and should be deleted. 廣九直通車 (talk) 09:40, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
Many CDs use this album cover, so I think it should be shown. Statik N (talk) 05:19, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- File:Staind - Tormented (back cover).jpeg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Statik N (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
The file is the back album cover of Tormented, in which File:Staind Tormented.jpg is already used as the visual representation. As correctly stated in Tormented (Staind_album)#Artwork, the album artwork is graphic, which is duly depicted with File:Staind Tormented.jpg, and the nominated file only serves as an additional replacement. The file therefore violates WP:NFCC#3a, and should be deleted. 廣九直通車 (talk) 09:46, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
~I don't see why it should be deleted. It does show more of the artwork and how the song titles are written. Removing it is unnecessary. Statik N (talk) 05:18, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete The discussion of the back cover is limited to a description of the text style, cited to some kind of filing from a court case (???). The image doesn't meet WP:NFCC#8. hinnk (talk) 06:27, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Should be removed from New Orleans as one of several fair use images. Fails NFCC#3a and #8. Stifle (talk) 15:20, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Fails the unreplaceable criteria. The specific NZLAV used in the siege is not required understanding and I've replaced the image in the article with a free version of an NZLAV. Traumnovelle (talk) 21:07, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

[edit]- File:2024 Major League Cricket season.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Godknowme1 (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
No evidence that this logo is solely for the 2024 season rather than being a generic logo for any season sponsored by Cognizant- if Cognizant sponsor again in 2025, then this same logo could and probably would be used. As such, it's a too generic logo that fails WP:NFCC#8. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:28, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep and retag. If File:Major League Cricket logo.svg is public domain due to simplicity, so is this. Stifle (talk) 13:55, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: fails WP:NFCC as it's a generic logo and not a season-specific logo. Vestrian24Bio 04:49, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Standard fair use for Killing of Brian Thompson (since Thompson's article got redirected), but Kingturtle disagrees, so taking here. (Keep, if it isn't clear.) charlotte 👸♥ 18:14, 9 January 2025 (UTC) Not necessary. I reverted my removal of the image. Kingturtle = (talk) 18:50, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

[edit]- File:Front & Back Face of iPhone 16 Pro Max.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by VeritasVanguard (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
Can be replaced with a free photo (WP:NFCC#1) as the design of an iPhone is utilitarian and not copyrightable. The only remaining copyrightable portion is the wallpaper, which is not necessary for the reader's understanding and can be omitted from such a photo (WP:NFCC#8).

- File:Radclyffe Hall - Sunday Express.gif (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Celithemis (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
An editor of Sunday Express who wrote the campaign article opposing The Well of Loneliness may have been identified to be the late James Douglas, who died in 1940, about eighty-five years ago (source 1,source 2). Per UK and EU laws, a work has been copyrighted for author's lifetime and then seventy years after that. Fourteen years already passed since expiration of Douglas's works, so an image depicting the article should be good to transfer. The US copyright of the article must've expired for at least one year. George Ho (talk) 02:07, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
- If the text was written by someone who died in 1940, then the text is in the public domain in the UK. What about the photo? There is an image caption, but I can't read the text, so I don't know if the image caption contains the name of the photographer or not. --Stefan2 (talk) 09:24, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
- The caption contains the name... but of the novel's author instead. This source has a somewhat clearer and more extended digital copy of the article. George Ho (talk) 16:10, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Here's the PDF version of the article. George Ho (talk) 16:13, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Two other versions of the Network Railcard, which are PD due to not meeting threshold of originality, appear on this page, therefore there is no need for a non-free one as well. Stifle (talk) 14:31, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
- File:1929 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by HordeFTL (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
Logo does not appear to be contemporaneous with 1929 playoffs. Orange and black NHL logo was only introduced in 1946; between graphic design, orange logo, and use of five colours, I feel like this dates closer to the 1990s/2000s (with a retro bear for good measure). As such, it doesn't meet the FU criteria for the article it's used in. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:01, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Photograph, rather than scan. There is no indication that the photograph of the book was released under a free license; a mechanical scan would not attract its own copyright, but this might. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:31, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
