Speedy deletion of Image:Columbia race riot.jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:Columbia race riot.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image with an unknown source or an unknown copyright status which has been tagged as such for more than 7 days, and it still lacks the necessary information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ¢rassic!

the image is public domain, and I edited it accordingly Joetwostep (talk) 23:26, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * You placed a public domain license on the image – which states that the image was first published prior to January 1, 1923. Unfortunately, I doubt this is the case as the 'race riot' happened in 1946. Do you possibly have a link to where you got the image? I might be able to help you if you do. ¢rassic!

apparently its from the Library of Congress, I searched the image out and found another site with it http://americanradioworks.publicradio.org/features/marshall/columbia.html Joetwostep (talk) 12:38, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * For Wikipedia's legal protection, you need to find evidence of the source and document it on the image page. The procedures and policies can be confusing; go to Media copyright questions for help on this. --Orlady (talk) 14:21, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
