 * from It was posted on flickr, but the watermark indicates a copyright … Does flickr negate the copyright watermark, or does the copyright watermark negate the flickr CC 2.0 license? JeffyP (talk) 06:34, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi. A couple of points about this one: images are not handled here, but at various other fora. This one would be investigated at possibly unfree images, except that it is actually hosted on commons, which means we have no authority over it here anyway. :) If you just want to discuss the issue, you might ask at WP:NFC. Depending on the response you get there, you may wish to follow up by the deletion policy at commons. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:43, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Lists of simple information are not copyrightable unless they represent creativity in the section process. If this is a list of all shooting locations, alphabetical by widely recognized region (as opposed to some idiosyncratic division, like that employed by Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems in its list of television markets) then it should not be a copyright concern. If it were a list of "most important" shooting locations, then it might well reflect the creative decisions of the compilers. Facts are not copyrightable, even if they are compiled with "sweat of the brow". See for discussion of case history Feist Publications v. Rural Telephone Service. Do you believe there are creative elements in this listing that would extend to copyright protection? --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:21, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know, actually, which is why I put it here rather than going for speedy deletion. I wanted someone who knew what they were talking about to look at it. :-)  If you're confident no copyvio is involved, please do un-blank the article.-- S Marshall   Talk / Cont  16:25, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I feel fairly confident there is no copyvio involved, but IANAL, just somebody who works the copyright problems board. :) (Mind you, that's to say nothing about WP:V and WP:NOT.) I didn't know if there were elements of which I was not aware in this particular case. If you'd like, I can invite a few other admins who work copyright problems to also review. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:38, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, there's a discussion about notability to be had on AfD. Back to copyright--Midsomer Murders is a British programme, so I wonder about the relevance of the (American) precedent you cite?-- S Marshall   Talk / Cont  16:48, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * We're based in the United States, which is why we use US copyright law. We do try to respect copyright from all countries, but ultimately it is US law that governs. (See WP:C. :)) (Oh, and Non-U.S. copyrights) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:49, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, that seems straightforward to me, then. I've unblanked the article accordingly and I'm happy if this discussion is closed.  Thanks for your help!-- S Marshall   Talk / Cont  16:58, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. It's a big wiki; division of duties is a good system. Happy if I can be of use. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:01, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to get the full URL to work because it contains brackets that are read as code. The full URL should extend from "http:" all the way to "cache=1".RDavi404 (talk) 16:15, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
