Image appears to have been uploaded in good faith, but the license on Flickr is actually a noncommercial/no derivatives allowed license which is incompatible with Wikipedia. Burpelson AFB (talk) 03:28, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is a personal attack and I do not appreciate this. The image in question clearly states that it can be copied under the Creative Commons license as long as the photographer is credited. This can be verified in Flickr and I clearly stated that when on the photo's page. WTF? (talk) 05:05, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is a no derivative clause on the license that the flickr image was uploaded under. Unfortunately that makes the image incompatible with Wikipedia. RandomStringOfCharacters [T] 06:41, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The image was not modified. It was merely copied. We're not making a "derivative work"; we're only copying and retransmitting, which is ok according to the author's statement on the Flickr website. So this should be a non-issue. I don't see why anyone would want to modify the image anyways, so a "derivative clause" should not matter. WTF? (talk) 15:34, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The picture is not free in our sense of the word. It's tagged as CC-NC-ND. NC == non-commercial (Wikipedia material is used commercially, specifically so under our licence) and ND == no derivatives (files uploaded here are resized automatically by the software, creating instant derivatives). By that definition, this file is free, but not free enough for Wikipedia to use. ⇦REDVERS⇨ 16:29, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If the owner can be contacted and agrees to license it under this license {{cc-by-3.0}}, would that work? WTF? (talk) 18:27, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And furthermore, if {{cc-by-2.0}} is not a valid license for wikipedia, then (a) why does the template exist and (b) if it is deprecated, why isn't it marked as such? WTF? (talk) 18:28, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would appreciate it if you would stop accusing me of making personal attacks. I am not whatsoever and you doing so is not helpful. As I stated above, I believe you uploaded the image in good faith, but you also have a fundamental misunderstanding of Wikipedia's "free media" policy. I didn't write the policy. The image is licensed under "Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 2.0 Generic", which is incompatible with Wikipedia's free licensing policy. If you want to ask the copyright holder to relicense the image to allow derivative works and commercial use, then the image will probably be fine. It doesn't really matter whether or not he picks 2.0 or 3.0, he has to allow the image to be modified and used commercially. Burpelson AFB (talk) 01:21, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - non-commercial not allowed. MilborneOne (talk) 22:36, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete obviously. Only CC-BY and CC-BY-SA are considered free licenses for our purposes. Adambro (talk) 19:07, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could you clarify? The file page says the map originally came from the US Geological Survey. RandomStringOfCharacters [T] 06:47, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In image description say "U.S. Geological Survey, 1972, limited update 1990"."Red Triangle" shark region denoted by file uploader."but uploader not give any link to verify of main U.S. Geological Survey map where he drawn a Red Triangle.Could you verify it is originally came from the US Geological Survey or not? How can I verify the main image comes from US Geological Survey or not?- Jayanta Nath ^{(Talk|Contrb)} 11:28, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You could look up the source publication in your local library. This is a frivolous nomination. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 01:25, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You mean to say that go to library and search all map book? It's just ridicules. It is fair to mention all details about base image or use free map from commons.There are lots of map there of USA and California.- Jayanta Nath ^{(Talk|Contrb)} 11:35, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stating that this is a USGS map publication is sufficient; these maps don't really give much publication information other than date, so it's quite hard to give anything more than what this map gives. If you want to get a copy of this map, you should be able to contact the USGS to get a copy. Nyttend (talk) 14:11, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete Major part of the photo is nonfree statue, no FOP for art in US. Calliopejen1 (talk) 15:12, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
keep sorry, yet another lazy mass nomination. "unknown location" I'm pretty sure its in cerritos, california. If you can't slow down and check your nominations you shouldn't be doing them. Give me evidence that there is a copyright problem with this statue and this photo actually breaches it.--Crossmr (talk) 17:24, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The statue is copyrighted unless you can prove otherwise. Because the united states does not have freedom of panorama allowing the photography of artwork in public spaces, the photo is nonfree. Calliopejen1 (talk) 13:18, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can you demonstrate who has the copyright on the statue? Is it the city? Are things done by the city automatically public domain? Frankly the statue is probably less than 10% of the picture. The picture is captioned to illustrate the fountain, not the statue.--Crossmr (talk) 13:39, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that this is simple enough packaging to not pass the threshold of originality (e.g. Ets-Hokin_v._Skyy_Spirits_Inc)..."Skyy argues, in a nutshell, that the commercial photographs of its vodka bottle are not worthy of copyright protection. We disagree. The essence of copyrightability is originality of artistic, creative expression. Given the low threshold for originality under the Copyright Act, as well as the longstanding and consistent body of case law holding that photographs generally satisfy this minimal standard, we conclude that Ets-Hokin's product shots of the Skyy vodka bottle are original works of authorship entitled to copyright protection."

I am not a commercial photograhper, and the photo in question has been released into the Public Domain by myself. <

I feel that its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. It is being used for informational purposes only;

2. It is the logo of a company for which no equivalent free alternative exists or could be created without infringing on copyright;

3. It does not infringe upon the original copyright holder's ability to profit from the media; and

4. It contributes significantly to the article in which it is used by identifying its subject.

Likely copyvio from a commercial press photo. Currently shown in Google image search cache as having been in use on 24-ore.com, a commercial Albanian news site [4], although the image link now gives a 404 error there. Was uploaded here as "copyrighted, no rights reserved", pointing to an earlier upload on sq-wiki as its only source (sq:Skeda:Panajot pano.jpg). Copyright abuse on sq-wiki is notoriously common; for instance, the same original sq-wiki user also uploaded sq:Skeda:James Stewart.jpg with the same "norightsreserved" claim, all lacking source and authorship attribution. Thus almost certainly a copyvio; should in fact have been speedied under F9. Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:28, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
