[edit] Image question
I see that File:AJ Foyt dirt car 1961.jpg looks too good to be true. It was almost certainly taken by a professional photographer -- 1961 looks like the right era. I'm concerned about the likelihood of flickr washing. Have you asked if the flickr account holder if he was the photographer? Royalbroil 15:56, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
- Hadn't really thought about it, but I agree it could be; the resolution's quite high for a fan's snap. Although of course some professionals do put stuff on Flickr... I'll ask, but if the poster says it's their pic, and licenses it as such, it's a bit difficult for us :) 4u1e (talk) 21:32, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
- I agree with everything that you replied. If the flickr contributor says they took it then it's fine to use. If not, then it can be deleted. I'll speedy delete it as a known copyright violation. I know some professionals put on flickr. A bunch of Wikipedia's NASCAR images are from the first official NASCAR photographer (of the NASCAR truck series) who I met on flickr while asking about an image. I have another flickr friend who photographed for Circle Track magazine (used to be huge here in the United States). Royalbroil 03:33, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
