 * I have reverted because it is clear that this is an image taken by a U.S. serviceman during the course of his duties during WWII, and therefore is in the public domain. If the source says "unknown", but we can determine through obvious evidence that the image id PD, then your persistence in changing the tag is disruptive editing.

 * It is clear that you, Akradecki are ignoring the photograph's source website and violating Wikipedia image licensing policy WP:IUP -TabooTikiGod 03:48, 16 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Source has no bearing if image was originally taken by US government agent in the course of their duties, in this case a member of the military. The tag suffices. Binksternet 07:52, 16 November 2007 (UTC)


 * The source has no bearing? It is apparent that you do not know the WP:IUP policy, I recommend you actually read this article and understand Wikipedia's stand on Copyright policy. -TabooTikiGod 08:12, 16 November 2007 (UTC)


 * And exactly what part of IUP are you referring to? What I read is "You can prove that the image is in the public domain." There's more than one way of doing that. I doesn't say that the source has to say that. It is quite evident that these images are PD, because it would have been physically impossible for anyone other than another serviceman to have taken these images. Please stop wikilawyering. I am seriously concerned that you desire here is deletion at all costs, rather than trying to find a constructive way to improve the encyclopedia by finding a means of keeping these images.

 * I am concerned that as an administrator on Wikipedia you have no regards for following the Wiki policy or the law by that matter, since you are in violation of copyright policy. Again, this is an issue that will be resolved. -TabooTikiGod 15:58, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Unlike many around here, I've actually read and studied copyright law in detail. Please quote the section of the CFR that you believe I'm in violation of.  AK Radecki Speaketh  16:14, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
