Seven Pandas - While tedious, the review must address all of the criteria. I recommend using the "Reviewer's template for easy copy+paste" (when you're editing this page, it's in the green collapsing bar above the edit window), as it's quick and easy and covers all the requirements.

@The C of E: please link this in at least one other Wikipedia page so it won't get an orphan tag. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 19:44, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

@Yoninah: done. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 19:54, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. Restoring tick per Seven Pandas' review. Yoninah (talk) 20:02, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I've pulled this from prep, as I believe that the logo may meet the threshold of originality in Germany to be eligible for copyright protection. If that's the case, the logo needs to be given a fair-use rationale, and can't be on the main page. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 07:17, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

@The Squirrel Conspiracy: I don't think this was needed to be pulled. It's based off File:Reichsadler Deutsches Reich (1935–1945).svg, which is copyright free under § 5 Abs. 1 of the German Copyright law. Likewise the Iron Cross. You'll have to ask @Yoninah:.

@The Squirrel Conspiracy: I'm not familiar with German copyright law. I saw on the Commons file that someone had created the image, and I thought it was all right. I trust your judgment. Yoninah (talk) 10:21, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

@The C of E and Yoninah: The thing is, I don't know for sure. Germany threshold of originality is unclear. You absolutely can create a copyrighted work by combining public domain resources together, but does this qualify? I'm going to ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright.

@The Squirrel Conspiracy: It seemed that the opinion there was that it was under the threashold. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:53, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Recent news from the area I edit in has left me disheartened and sapped my motivation to write, so I'm not going to be around much for a few days/weeks. Do whatever you feel is best, and if you need someone to restore the tick, Yoninah can do so procedurally. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 18:41, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Based on that query, restoring tick for image and hook. Yoninah (talk) 18:49, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, I hope it can be restored to an image slot which it had been ripped from. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 19:09, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
