Talk:Outdoor Life Conservation Pledge

Unspecified source for Image:01 1947.jpg
I found Image:01 1947.jpg and noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. Someone will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If it was obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If there are other files on this page, consider checking that they have specified their source and are tagged properly, too. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:49, 25 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 03:49, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:01 1947.jpg
Image:01 1947.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 03:49, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Wrong Information Regarding the movie Silent Running
The Conservation Pledge from the movie Silent Running was written by Ben East, one of the founders of the Michigan United Conservation Clubs, prior to November 9, 1937. It predates and has nothing to do with the Outdoor Life Conservation Pledge. http://www.multilakes.com/cons_pledge.htm Deleted the reference to the movie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.166.109.92 (talk) 14:56, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

I find it difficult to believe that the pledge was actually created 10 years earlier and then plagiarized for the magazine contest. The website multilakes.com seems to be the only source for this claim. With that in mind, I've restored the mention of the film Silent Running. --Mewsenews (talk) 18:39, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
