copyrighted image failing wp:nfc - #1, replacable with Image:Toy sonic screwdrivers.png Fasach Nua (talk) 02:30, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Since there is an alternate image for this. Stuart DD _{contributions} 17:23, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - now a proper fair use rationale, the change from the 1970s to 2005 version is dicussed in the article. The use of the toy sonic screwdriver instead of the shot from the episode is inappropriate for use as the design is still copyright BBC - it would be like using a photograph of a book as a free image to show the copyrighted cover. Will ^(talk) 17:37, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are different rules governing images of 2D and 3D objects, the obvious Doctor Who usage would be the TARDIS, the copyright to the design belongs to the BBC, however a photo of this 3D object taken in the UK is available under a free licence, and widely used in this wikiproject. Fasach Nua (talk) 17:55, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the TARDIS' copyright is a controversial subject - both the Metropolitan Police and the BBC claim they own the image rights to the police box (and a point can be made that the image is uncopyrightable as well). Will ^(talk) 18:08, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the TARDIS is not copyrighted, but trademarked; as the design preceded Doctor Who, it is not eligable for copyrigth by the BBC. That is why the TARDIS can be used. The image of the toy however, falls strictly speaking under NFCC (see the looong discussions on Transormers toys). In that light, I prefer to keep the screenshot and delete the toy photo. — Edokter • Talk • 18:25, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Would you link that discussion? please Fasach Nua (talk) 19:57, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

— Edokter • Talk • 23:14, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for posting those, this seems to be definitve, If the copyright status of he two images is the same, then quality of image, would suggest keeping the TV screenshot, and removing the toy (WP:NFC 3a) Fasach Nua (talk) 23:26, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The design of the object, prop or toy, is subject to copyright, a photo of the toy isn't going to be any more free than a screen cap of the prop. - J Greb (talk) 23:02, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I think a photograph of a toy is considered to be a derivative work. Addhoc (talk) 18:24, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image kept. Image is not replaceable by an image of toy sonic screwdrivers, both are fair use. -Nv8200p talk 01:08, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

copyrighted image failing wp:nfc - #8, a picture used to illustrate a character from a book, and radio play is nonsencical

derivative work of copyrighted text (assuming this plaque was created by the state and not federal governent, which seems plausible because it's a minnesota heritage trail) Calliopejen1 (talk) 00:21, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose deletion. This work is a photograph of an image created by a government unit of the state of Minnesota, which is public data under the Minnesota Data Practices Act. Minnesota Statute Section 13.03, subdivision 1. As set forth in an opinion of the Minnesota Attorney General, public data such as an informational work may be used for noncommercial, nonprofit activity, including teaching and scholarship. The sign is informational and itself is educational; the use in Wikipedia of an image of the sign is for purposes of teaching and scholarship. Accordingly its use on Wikipedia is permissible, although it may be appropriate to amend the claimed license to specifically refer to this rationale. Kablammo (talk) 00:43, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Non-commercial permission is considered non-free in Wikipedia terms, and nothing in WP:NONFREE allows this image to stay. Calliopejen1 (talk) 01:27, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Fair use is permitted. Kablammo (talk) 01:29, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Without this copyrighted text, however, readers would not know any less about the bridge, which is required by WP:NFCC 8. Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:42, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Deletion Is it deleted already? But this is not copyrighted, it is a historical plaque which is put out there to be read and photographed. Note:
- It does not have a copyright indication on it. The historical society that put it up wants the information known and expressly does not copyright it.
- Also there are numerous websites which photograph plaques and/or gravestones, consistent with there being no problem with this. One with plaques is a plaques website.
- Consider somewhat different issue of stock market prices. Stock markets may want to copyright and sell the open, high, low, closing prices of their stocks, but it is found that they cannot both publish such information daily in newspapers and claim that it is proprietary. Hence it is public domain if you will collect it from the newspapers (you can copyright a database of collected, verified, modified stock prices however.) Here, we are collecting it from the field observations directly. doncram (talk) 01:18, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I believe this is covered under {{PD-MNGov}}

Image deleted. There is no proof this is not copyrighted just because it is erected for the public to read. It does not have to have any copyright indication on it to be copyrighted. This plaque was erected by the Metropolitan Airports Commission, which is a quasi-governmental entity created by state law and they have copyrighted their website. No reason to think their other creations, like this marker, are not copyrighted also. I believe the {{PD-MNGov}} is bogus.
