[edit] List/picture

Where has the list gone, and what's happened to the picture of Robert Finch!? Mintguy (T) 19:53, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The list is at List of Lord Mayors of London. The picture of the Lord Mayor is surrounded by copyright issues. For one thing, it is not usable under the American fair use doctrine unless the name of the photographer is indicated. -- Emsworth 20:44, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The image is published on the Corp of London website at http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/media_centre/picture_library.htm where the reader is positively encouraged to download the image. I have not seen any mention before about the American fair use doctrine requiring the identity of the photographer to be known or indicated. It isn't mentioned on Fair use or Wikiedpia:Fair use. Have you asked User:Jdforrester who uploaded the image to investigate the copyright issues? Mintguy (T)

[edit] Title

Since when has the "generally used" title been the Lord Mayor of the City of London? I've never seen this usage outside Wikipedia. The Lord Mayor's Show was on today and throughout he was referred to on the BBC as the Lord Mayor of London. See also this as opposed to this. Nobody in London would get him confused with the Mayor of London. I propose this article be moved back to the commonly used title, which is still Lord Mayor of London. Yes, Lord Mayor of the City of London is apparently now sometimes used, but it's certainly not the common title, which is how we name our articles on Wikipedia. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:26, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Since there has been no response, I have moved the article back to the common title as per normal Wikipedia usage. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:41, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

I'd also dispute that the "legal title" has always been simply "Lord Mayor of London". The London Gazette has plenty of references to "the Lord Mayor of the City of London", dating back to 1683. The Corporation may think it's a recent innovation, but it seems clear that the situation is the same as it's always been: legal title includes "the City of", common usage does not.
