i've uploaded some photographs which i own, to allow them to be freely used, which are all listed for deletion, why do you have copyright choices from your list which mean that the image will be deleted, surely better not to let them be uploaded, rather than involving me in excessive admin, for trying to give you images for free, essentially i think wiki is great, but i dont have the will to work out what you want regarding the copyright of my images —Preceding unsigned comment added by P586 (talk • contribs) 07:20, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That seems to be a "Promotional photo". -- Wbrz (talk) 19:18, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

whether it's promotional or not doesnt seem to have any relevance to it's copyright status?

There are countless promotional images in wikipedia

Your comment doesnt answer any of my queries

You can check other images on my site www.paulkhera.com

The image that replaces it doesnt show much of the man's face and is blurred

help me out here...

What kind of proof are you looking for that I am the owner of the image?

paulkhera —Preceding unsigned comment added by P586 (talk • contribs) 22:29, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

comment: User P586 is Paul Khera (of www.paulkhera.com) owner of the image copyright. The picture he submitted is a recent picture of singer-songwriter Brett Anderson taken in Spring 2008 as the musician was recording his latest album "Wilderness". He is credited on the album and is also the photo-editor on the website www.brettanderson.co.uk . I have seen Mr Khera taking photographs of Mr Anderson in a professional capacity and the picture he submitted depicts the musician and the atmosphere of his music very well - as in "a picture says a thousand words". Furthermore, I have corresponded a few times with P586 regarding Mr Khera's photography and I can vouch that P586 and Mr Khera are the same person and therefore there is no breach of copyright and no reason for deletion. - d.a. hoffman, writer - www.geocities.com/zebras54 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.18.188.240 (talk) 11:47, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    - Yes, the text itself is copyrighted. Obviously this isn't a huge deal, since it's a short excerpt, but it's just totally unnecessary to the article. Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:29, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - Indeed, very subtle. We would have to claim fair use of the text, in order to illustrate the discussion about The New Yorker's witting style. And while I think this would be a good example of fair usage, I'm with Calliopejen1 that we can do without this in Wikipedia, and thus, WP:NFCC#8 isn't satisfied.

  - Sorry. Still, we cannot keep around a nonfree image because it might be useful someday. It is not needed in the FvS article, so it should be removed.

replaceable (presumably someone could photograph a similar sword in a museum) Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:36, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It's not replaceable. a) because such swords are definitely rare to find and museums showing them are even rarer; And b) all museums I've visited so far did not allow photographing objects at their exhibitions. De728631 (talk) 01:57, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What about images like this (and other images in related articles)? Clearly some similar swords are in museums. Calliopejen1 (talk) 06:48, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- They might look similar, but the styles are totally different. The 5th century sword doesn't have a crossguard yet and is merely plated with gold, while the other one from the 6th century does have a short crossguard and intricate ornaments. It is the evolution from the Roman spatha to medieval swords with full crossguards that may be documented by this image. De728631 (talk) 11:51, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tentative Keep, the image is used to illustrate some very specific stylistic properties, therefore not replaceable with just any other image of some other old sword. And given the fact that in most museums you can't easily (or legally) take photographs, I believe non-free photos are legitimate in such cases. This must be an image that a museum once provided for scholarship to use, this is how they want that item to be seen, so that's how we should use it. The only problem I see is that we don't know the ultimate source. The immediate web source doesn't even say where this particular sword is kept. Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:50, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Further comment: Found the museum. There is another (better) photograph of the same sword here, in a collection of promotional press kit photographs from Oslo Kulturhistorisk Museum (page here). Of course that image is still non-free. License conditions: " [...] can be used free of charge for editorial news coverage on The Museum of Cultural History [...] must not be reproduced for any purpose other than for that specified above without permission". Which unfortunately doesn't cover us. ~~But it might be worth asking for permission for Wikipedia use. Well-documented source plus Permission plus watertight NFCC8 case = legitimate non-free use.~~ Dang it, that museum charges very high fees for publication rights [1]. Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:02, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep reasonable rationale, unless we obtain permission for better. Museums that charge fees may be willing to forgive the fees if approached by someone who knows them, but only much more rarely to permit GFDL licensing. DGG (talk) 22:35, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, WP:NFCC3a is about having multiple non-free images that say "Here is the subject from this angle", "here he is from another angle", this isn't the case here; this is an image of the subject in the middle of a battle; and the image represents no financial loss to the copyright holder (the Third Reich, now Germany government). It would seem unwise to delete. Sherurcij ^{(speaker for the dead)} 18:47, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But how does this add anything additional to the article that contributes to readers' understanding? Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:54, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It contributes by showing that, while being called an "educated SS-man", which associates a leading role at a desk, this guy did not hide in a background office but saw combat in the field. Keep. De728631 (talk) 01:51, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - And why can't we just write that he participated in combat Calliopejen1 (talk) 06:48, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Because I see the fact tag crowd jumping on the article and question it until someone digs out an easily accessible source other than this image. De728631 (talk) 11:55, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - If no reliable source has ever written that he has participated in battle, clearly the fact is not important then? Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:10, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. We need to distinguish two things here: the graphic realisation of the music typesetting, and the musical substance encoded by it. The graphical realisation has been re-done for Wikipedia, as I understand, and is therefore free. And the musical substance is not a copyrightable work at all. It is an entirely stereotypical, anonymous piece of material and hence doesn't meet the threshold of creativity required for copyright. Also, it is not a creative invention of the authors of the textbook from where it is taken; the textbook provides it just as a piece of information, in the sense of: this is what many people regularly do. (Analogy with language would be: It's more like a conjugation pattern in a grammar book than like a copyrighted poem.) Mere information as such is not copyrightable, hence it's free.

very weak keep - the different designs of these banknotes are in fact presented and discussed in the article, so I guess a case for keeping them can be made. I'd personally tend to remove the Kennedy one though. Two is more than enough. Fut.Perf. ☼ 05:44, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

delete. Given that typical designs of these notes are discussed extensively in the article, I'd tend to find two contrastive examples (like the US-dollar one and the Chinese one) permissible, but a third is surely not needed; the fact that it shows Kennedy can easily be understood by text alone and any further details of design are not crucial for the context.

A question about this, if the object itself is copyrighted, what is the issue here; any image uploaded, regardless of who takes the picture, will always be non-free. I don't think there is any question an image (which will always be non-free) is warranted in the article. I am willing to be convinced, but currently, keep. --Jordan 1972 (talk) 21:50, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here though, we have to invoke the doctrine of fair use with respect to two copyrights - that of the photographer, and that of the medal-maker. We should delete this in favor of a photo whose licensing allows us to only worry about the latter. Calliopejen1 (talk) 00:14, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- I have been convinced -- it makes sense. I wonder tho, is there somewhere that it could be posted that the article will need a new image? I can easily see that once this image is deleted, someone will come along and realize that there is no image in the article and then go looking for one -- the easy way to find one will likely result in one with the same issues. Is there a Medal group or a photo-request page we can notify?--Jordan 1972 (talk) 16:30, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The file is a vector image the uploader created (stated as original source) based on elements from the Superman comics published by DC Comics and used within the television show Smallville. At best this is a character font for English, at worst a constructed language. In either case it is an element that would be protected under copyright by DC, not the uploader. Scans of the use of the graphic element in either the comics or the television show would be reasonable fair use. This isn't. J Greb (talk) 23:17, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question: how is this image different from the similar Image:Interlac Landscape.JPG? According to the article, both are simply substitution ciphers (although the Kryptonian graphic doesn't give the correspondence). Does the Interlac image have similar copyright problems? —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 18:32, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The honest answer is no. The only difference is that I wasn't aware the interlac image was there. And being a "simply substitution ciphers* isn't a good defense when the image is of a typeface/font. And that's what both this and interlac are: fonts created for a specific purpose within the comics. They have been used both as "objects" — part of the artwork — and as "text" — within word balloons and captions. The interlac one should be nommed as well.
  And IIRC the interlac "key", or something close to it, was published by DC on a letters page. That image would be valid to pull for a NFC image. Almost any othe "key" is going to be from a source book, which isn't usable. Again, the best likely image for wither is going to be a scan of the font in use. I know there are a few good images from Smallville for the Kryptonese, and one really good Legion" cover for interlac. - J Greb (talk) 22:41, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
