Lovely entry! Sufficient length, newness, neutrality, references. No Earwig pings. Are we sure that the image is free? When I trace the series of derivative works back, the original was this site that has no indication of a copyright release (on the contrary it has © at the bottom of the page). Bloom6132 if you’re not sure (as I am not, one way or the other), I can ask at the Commons help desk (or copyright discussion page, more likely). Innisfree987 (talk) 15:34, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Innisfree987: Yes, feel free to ask the Commons (thanks for offering to). I'm not completely sure about the copyright, but for my recent Coat of arms of the Turks and Caicos Islands nom, I said that a standardized depiction might be covered by expired Crown copyright (as in Template:PD-UKGov) if the design was published before 1971. —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:39, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- Bloom6132, thanks so much for point out that PD-expired notice, that may well be the answer here too. I’ve inquired so at least I will learn something new! And should be resolved with plenty of time before your special occasion date. Will update as I get more info. Innisfree987 (talk) 16:19, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
The explanation I got at commons:Village_pump/Copyright#Coat_of_arms_of_Anguilla seems satisfactory so this is all set, with the reiteration that promoter should please take the date consideration request into account. Innisfree987 (talk) 18:26, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
