  • "No known copyright policy" and "freely downloaded" are not valid reasons for fair use. I do not see how fair use could apply in the way it is used in the two articles that link to it. — Konstable 13:26, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's not iconic, but I think it would be a valuable photo to have. Could somebody from dk.wikipedia contact the Danish defence ministry to see whether they would release it? I imagine they might quite like the idea of it appearing here. In the meantime wait. Jheald 12:47, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment--Did it get superseded, replaced, etc? If there is no chance it will get used again put me down for delete.--Cronholm144 01:31, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Image is a promo image obviously, but source listed is likely not the original site for this photo, and the page itself does not load, only the link to the image itself, with no copyright info at all. 74.204.40.46 07:12, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Promo image from a television series, with no source listed, and no copyright information listed. 74.204.40.46 07:27, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Source is presumably the production company, as the type-of-image tag claims. A group shot from the production company used to show what the character ensemble looks like is usually considered acceptable by WP:NONFREE for an article about the show. Jheald 12:55, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Jheald. Dalejenkins 13:49, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - if you could provide the source information this would be fine, you can't just presume upon its source information. If this was okay then thousands of images could be uploaded and we just have to say, oh i think its from this site, so lets use it. I am not saying it should be deleted because its wrong, I am saying it should be deleted unless someone knows where it was taken from. Find the original source of the image and list it here, it should not be that hard, it should be easier than typing all the reasons you should keep it. So, go find the sourceEjfetters 08:26, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Who gives a shit about this legal nonsense. Pathetic. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.110.222.93 (talkcontribs) 13:19, 22 July 2007.
  • Well I don't think that since we can't find a source we should just start swearing on here, how childish.74.204.40.46 05:34, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dawson's Creek Publicity Photos

[edit]
  • Keep. Source site exists solely to promote the show. Use of an image selected and distributed by the show's creators to promote a character is no less appropriate for fair use than a screenshot. Jheald 13:03, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - this has been discussed AT LENGTH for several television actors. Publicity shots all over Wikipedia are being deleted, and should be replaced with screen stills of the character - as done in ones for Star Trek, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Enterprise, Days of Our Lives, Passions, Sunset Beach.74.204.40.46 00:08, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think this explains it, the disclaimer taken right from sony picture's site, linked at the bottom of the site they are taken from.

Says "Personal Use" - Wikipedia isn't personal its public. Says the use of these images is unauthorized and is a copyright violation. I think that about says it right there.74.204.40.46 00:14, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We're not claiming those images are licensed to us. They're not. We're claiming that our usage of those images falls under fair use - wholly different concept. Jheald 00:58, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The license seems explicitly forbid such things as uploading content to Wikipedia. Without the license I would agree with you. --teb728 02:03, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's not their place to forbid fair use. Fair use is a right protected by law. They don't have the right to forbid it. Jheald 08:20, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's not that they are forbidding "fair use". It's that the uploader is claiming that these images are to be used by the media for promotional proposes, when the copyright holder explicitly forbids anything but personal use of this images.
As we're discussing tv-series, we can fairly use a small part of the series (i.e., a screenshot). But it's not fair to take material produced to enhance the copyright holder's website and use it to enhance our site.
This all have been discussed at length in other nominations and deletion reviews. --Abu badali (talk) 17:38, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see what is the big deal, look at all the character images for the pages Jean-Luc Picard, Kathryn Janeway, Hoshi Sato and so on. This has been discussed at length, look back in the history of all these images, plus many more, and it was decided to just repalace them with screen caps. Get screen caps of the characters, why is this such a problem with Dawson's Creek, but it was no problem with Star Trek, I am confused? Ejfetters 08:23, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here what about these screen caps I found for you -
http://www.dawsonscreek.com/gallery/joey/401_joey.html from Episode "Coming Home"
http://www.dawsonscreek.com/gallery/jen/jen9.html from Episode "Uncharted Waters"
http://www.dawsonscreek.com/gallery/dawson/309_dawson2.html from Episdoe "Four to Tango"
http://www.dawsonscreek.com/gallery/pacey/301_pacey2.html from Episode "Like a Virgin"
These are good screen caps that, along with source and fair use rationale tags can be used I believe. Please also read [[3]] this will show you the discussion had about publicity shots of televison characters. There I've done some of the work for you. I'm not out to delete all these images, just replace them.Ejfetters 08:44, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Actually I don't think these should be used either, someone should just get caps from the DVD's which are all released now. This way there is no dispute that they are even from the sony site. Ejfetters 20:27, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Images from User:Kay Körner

[edit]

On July 16 I received this message on my talk page from an administrator on the Commons, warning me to be careful about images uploaded by User:Kay Körner (who also uploads as User:Lucken), who had been blocked at Commons for repeatedly uploading images against policy. I looked through Kay's uploads and found several images tagged as if they were free, but which appeared to be copyright violations. I asked Kay about these, but received a rather bizarre and non-informative response (here). There may be some genuine free contributions among the copyvios, but I think it's better to delete than take chances, given the uploader's history and response. Here are the suspected copyright violations:

In addition, this user uploaded the following non-free images which are not used in article space. I'm listing them here, rather than tagging them {{orfud}}, because I have reason to believe the user would remove the notices.

And these images are used, but are mostly just used decoratively, and have no source. (Many are mistagged as well: dolls as logos, photos as posters, etc.)

If any of these are worth keeping, we should determine an adequate source and improve the rationale. – Quadell (talk) (random) 19:01, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I was just informed that this user also uploads as User:Fox53, and has been blocked from the German Wikipedia for uploading improper images as well. – Quadell (talk) (random) 20:00, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unnecessary non-free screenshot showing an artisting making a declaration on tv, used (in 5 articles) to illustrate the information that he appeared on tv to make such declaration. Abu badali (talk) 20:09, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The image has fair use rationale, the proper copyright tag, and adds to the articles it is on because it helps illustrate Mike Myers' react to what Kanye West was saying. (Guyinblack25 talk 14:39, 24 July 2007 (UTC))[reply]
  • Delete. Picture is not necessary to understanding the text, violating WP:NFCC #8. howcheng {chat} 17:35, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Appropriate, non-replaceable fair use to back up the discussion of the controversy, showing what TV viewers actually saw. This adds to the viewer's understanding of the incident - which is what is required. Jheald 16:53, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. It seems to me that the image does not significantly increase readers’ understanding of any of the articles beyond the text. Saying “it shows what TV viewers actually saw” could apply as well to any screen shot. --teb728 17:32, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unnecessary non-free image showing two physicist witting a notable letter, used (in 6 articles!) to illustrate the information that they wrote that letter.

Keep, illustrates his connection to Judaism. No free photo is available. Epson291 21:08, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, illustrates his work with Zionism and the creation of the State of Israel. No free illustration available. Epson291 21:09, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. It seems to me that the text of Albert Einstein admirably describes his work with Zionism and the creation of Israel. The image adds little if anything. See WP:NFCC, particularly #8 for the requirements for using a non-free image. --teb728 20:48, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
