  • Comment: I'm not sure I am happy supporting a file which is not actually used in the article... J Milburn (talk) 23:58, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • The file is linked to its collage version, which is used, so I decided to give it a go. Brandmeistertalk 09:13, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Licencing needs figured out, the license on it is clearly wrong. — raekyt 02:12, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Can you be more specific as to the problem? The current template used seems to fit Unesco's simple claim "unrestricted." Chick Bowen 05:28, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • It say's unknown photographer/source? There is no copyright in Afghanistan, so {{PD-Afghanistan}}? Where is the source on Unesco's website with the copyright statement? I can't find the image on there... — raekyt 07:31, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • The statement is here (upper right corner, below the statue), the source is on a different url. Brandmeistertalk 09:13, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
          • Seems it's unrestricted due to PD-Afghanistan... but I donno.. seems strange. I don't think they're the photographers of all those different images. — raekyt 17:28, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
