Military attaché in Washington?

I have added some information from an article in The Telegraph by Abhijit Bhattacharyya, but I am wondering whether Bhattacharyya is confusing Ghulam Jilani Khan with Mian Ghulam Jilani? Moonraker (talk) 01:49, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have deleted the role of military attaché, as it seems very possible that the writer was confused. Moonraker (talk) 13:20, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Image CopyVio?

I have removed the images as there is some concern in the DYK that they are professional images with no meta data that have been taken without copyholder's permission. -- Esemono (talk) 06:46, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Images look quite similar to this page: http://chandbagh.pk/Foundation/Index.aspx

As Esemono says, "there is some concern in the DYK", although the concern is largely Esemono's. I have asked there whether there is a policy which favours Esemono's approach (that is, deleting images before they are successfully challenged at Commons). The answer from Crisco 1492 is "No offense to Indian or Pakistani editors, but after the education program fiasco last year I've learned to be extra cautious. Same goes for Indonesian editors; if it's of low resolution, looks to be of high technical quality, and has no metadata, it quacks". This seems to be a personal view of images from those three countries, rather than a policy. Is it really any more than a general smear on images uploaded from Pakistan, India, and Indonesia? A better explanation of relevant policies here would be helpful. Moonraker (talk) 02:06, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The uploader says she is the author ("Author= Ambreen Mubasher") and owns the copyrights. The question at Commons will be whether there are good grounds for disbelieving her. Here, the question is whether images from Commons need to be removed from articles before a challenge to them has been resolved at Commons. (NB, a 'copyholder' is a manorial tenant, not a copyright owner.) Moonraker (talk) 02:14, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In the mean time, WP:DUCK, linked by Crisco 1492, does not do the trick. On copyright violations it says "If there is an image that is clearly a movie or TV screenshot, or magazine or CD cover, licenced as an own work by the author, the duck test would allow to treat it as a copyright violation, even if the specific source of the image remains unknown." Not least in the word "clearly", this requires more cause for doubt than has been suggested. Perhaps there are other policies which are relevant? Moonraker (talk) 02:26, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If no one has made a good reply to this request by tomorrow, I am going to reinstate the picture files. Moonraker (talk) 00:47, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
