License tagging for Image:Sir Trevor Henry.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Sir Trevor Henry.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

I think in this case you should note that the image is already published by the New Zealand Herald in the public domain, and depicts a public figure who held public office in New Zealand. In such circumstances, it isnt possible to "copyright" his image, especially given that the original image was itself an official photograph made available to the public by the Department of Courts in New Zealand --Nzhistorybuff (talk) 11:05, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Sir David Henry.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Sir David Henry.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 15:10, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

In this circumstance the image is uncopyrighted. It was originally published as part of official documents that were published to the greater public and has subsequently been used throughtout the media, including in the book by B. Healy A Hundred Million Trees: the Story of NZFP. Auckland, 1982--Nzhistorybuff (talk) 11:10, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
