 * The image is free to use on the English Wikipedia where the image only has to be in the public domain in the USA (where the servers are hosted). It doesn't meet the more stringent Commons requirements that need it to be in the public domain in the host country as well.  I am not sure whether the DYK requirements require an image to be hosted on Commons or just to be free to use on Wikipedia (ie not fair-use) - Dumelow (talk) 15:43, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
