Fair Use Rationale for website and historical images

When archiving future pages, please leave this on talk page.

The Prussian Culture Bureau claims the copyright on this picture; it is a widely use caricature of the problems related to censorship, particularly in the Vormärz. My rationale for using it: it appears in a variety of texts and publications; it was published in newspapers in 1848 and later, and is available through those sites as well. It is a specific illustration of the ways in which different parts of the population, specifically among the intelligenstia, were hampered by such measures as the Carlsbad Decrees, the Six Articles, and the 10 Articles. In this caricature, the various members of society are represented (lawyers, politicians, students, businessmen, etc.) and they are shown as blinded, deafened, gagged, although they are trying to discuss something.

thank you

Wonderful, outstanding article! A heartfelt "thank you" to everybody involved in its creation! 217.234.25.90 (talk) 02:26, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Battle of the Nations

I propose that we mark the mention of the Battle of the Nations (Battle of Leipzig) in the text by adding its date (October 1813), thus helping non-expert readers to fit this event into its time-frame. -- Pedant17 (talk) 01:02, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Good idea. auntieruth (talk) 01:11, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Social insurance

The article mentions "social insurance" -- a technical term seldom used in some English-speaking jurisdictions. I suggest that we link it as social insurance. -- Pedant17 (talk) 02:50, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
