The "crescendo" and "diminuendo" symbols on this page have different licensing and are credited to different authors despite being 180-degree rotations of one another.

File:Music-diminuendo.svg is credited to user:Ricordisamoa and identified as Public Domain. (Uploaded Oct. 1, 2001.)

File:Music-crescendo.svg is credited to user:Tomgreep as copyrighted and licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0. (Uploaded May 21, 2010.)

Either Ricordisamoa has failed to fulfill the Attribution requirement of CC-BY-SA 3.0, or Tomgreep has inappropriately asserted copyright over an image in the public domain. While a glance at the upload dates is certainly suggestive, this feels like an "error" that one of the two users may wish to correct on their own? (I assume there is no need to clarify that a rotation of an image does not constitute sufficient transformative adaptation to qualify as "own work" for Creative Commons purposes; however, should there be any uncertainty, one may wish to refer to this observation found on [1]: "This work is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it consists entirely of information that is common property and contains no original authorship." The author asserting copyright, Tomgreep, may wish to take a moment to clarify what original authorship is present in the crescendo svg that distinguishes it categorically from that coda svg and therefore renders the former eligible for copyright protection.)
