All those posters don't seem incredibly necessary. Many of the films they represent are not even discussed in the prose.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 01:11, 26 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I think a few posters or movie stills (likely non-free) would be appropriate for an article that is discussing a segment of the movie history at large (this would be similar to using samples of art in articles on specific schools of art like abstraction), but as noted, they need to be from movies that are discussed in text and not just highlighted by captions. --M ASEM (t) 01:31, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Pam Nestor

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The one album and two single covers used in Pam Nestor seem to be used simply for decoration and fail WP:NFCC, but since I removed them twice and was reverted first without any explanation and then secondly with an edit summary of "Please stop removing these images. They are legitimate and have been on this article for a long time. They are album cover images that fit Wiki criteria..", I thought I would start a discussion here to get more opinions in the matter.

File:Pam Nestor.jpg is used in the infobox to illustrate Pam Nestor and not to illustrate the "Hiding and Seeking (No More)", album/single covers are I believe never used in infoboxes to identify the acts themselves. The rationale states "The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art." which is incorrect since it is not being used as identification of the single.

File:Pam Nestor & Joan Armatrading 1972.jpg is a new image that goes against it being in the article for a long time and is the back cover image of "Whatever's for Us" and has no rationale for its use in Pam Nestor. While at least it is a section about the album, there is no justification of its use in the article and since it is the rear cover, it does not have strong ties to identification of the album itself.

File:Pam Nestor's only single - Hiding & Seeking (No More).jpg is a single cover for "Hiding & Seeking (No More)" in a five paragraph section of later works that only has one sentence about the single. Once again this is also a rear cover so its useful for identification is suspect.

It seems to me that all of these images are being used to show what the artist look like instead of being about the album and singles themselves failing WP:NFCC. Aspects (talk) 07:11, 28 February 2014 (UTC)


 * It's a double whammy as 1) they aren't being used to illustrate notable albums (nor are the cover art notable) and 2) she's still alive so to use these for general identification is inappropriate. I might argue the first album cover as reasonable fair as to describe her music career (as she is now out of it, and that was ~35 years ago, and there likely won't be an article on her albums specifically) but not as the infobox image. --M ASEM (t) 14:14, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Episode posters

I'd appreciate some thoughts on this. I originally wrote some episode articles (Sardines (Inside No. 9), A Quiet Night In, Tom & Gerri, Last Gasp (Inside No. 9); more will follow) but did not include any non-free content. Multiple other editors have added the "film posters" released for the episodes, and each episode also has had publicity stills released. Each episode features a different cast and characters, and the plots are unrelated, so, in some ways, these are like short films or plays rather than episodes. Are these posters (or, alternatively, the publicity photos) justified? J Milburn (talk) 22:51, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The question has sorta been asked before, but given that we allow an identification image for films, if a single TV episode has a similar publicity image - a poster or the like specifically made for that episode - then that is comparable for acceptable use, since this is reflecting the branding and marketing chosen by the copyright holder. We don't allow screenshots to be used automatically since the choice of screenshot is up to the editors involved, but when the copyright holder hands us something like this on a plate, it clears up that issue altogether. --M ASEM  (t) 01:51, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comment. In your view, is there any reason to favour a poster over a publicity photograph released to the press, or would that come down to editorial judgement in the way we might choose between different posters? J Milburn (talk) 22:01, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
 * If both were picked by the production people or broadcasters, it would be a matter of which one is believed to be more representative of showing the episode - that is, which is better tied to the text in question. If there's no really distinction there, I would use the production poster simply to be closer to how films work. --M ASEM (t) 22:29, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

I was going to nominate the infobox image for deletion, but then I saw there were two others in the article. What do you guys think of this article's use of non-free content? It does not appear that any of them satisfy WP:NFCC.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 21:41, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
 * The infobox image shows one of the defining moments from the whole 50-year history of that programme - it is the first time that we see that the police box is bigger on the inside. Just watch the episode - if you've never seen it before, it really does come as a shock, and the look on the face of Barbara demonstrates Jacqueline Hill's acting superbly. The other photo is from the untransmitted pilot, and is used to discuss differences between that and the episode as broadcast, such as the clothing. -- Red rose64 (talk) 23:27, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I've no opinion on the use of the screenshots, but the book cover, surely, is adding nothing. J Milburn (talk) 23:58, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
 * There's reasonable allowance for both screenshots (this is definitely a case that a episode could support a screenshot for identification), but yes, the book cover is absolutely unnecessary. --M ASEM (t) 02:06, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
 * But that section of the article is about the novel An Unearthly Child, and surely usage there satisfies the "contextual significance" NFCC criterion.--82.35.251.109 (talk) 03:57, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Both the images are useful to the reader - there is no problem at all. 188.221.79.22 (talk) 22:12, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Covers of published works are only used when either the cover art is discussed in detail, or if it is the single identifying image for the published work in a standalone article about the published work. A cover of a novelization of a TV episode/series does not meet those requirements and thus is not appropriate per NFC. --M ASEM  (t) 22:56, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Or, one can have a cover image relevant to a substantial subsection that is important to the main topic of the article...
 * But there is a more fundamental reason here. The original Doctor Who stories were typically broadcast once, and then never shown again -- at least not in their original country of origin.  For a long time the books were the only forms in which stories the were accessible, and so the covers of the books became defining images associated with those stories.
 * That is exactly the criterion -- a defining image for the work, for a significant period of time, in a significant market for it -- that is used to test whether alternate record album covers are justified; and the same logic applies here.
 * The question we are asked to determine is whether the cover is something that adds something significant to reader understanding of the topic. The status of the cover as the single image most associated with the work during that period means that it is significant to the topic, and our coverage of the topic would be significantly weakened without it.  Jheald (talk) 00:59, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Wrong, period; this is the same wrong logic that people apply to historical logos. If this was 1982 (a year after the publication of the book), sure. Today, the most identifiable parts of this episode are the intro sequence, title card, and first walk into the TARDIS, because of the restoration of that episode. So unless the recognizably or other factors of importance of the book's cover are describe, it is no longer the most identifying image for the episode. The alternate art aspect for albums is different because that is when there are two simultaneous covers that provide roughly equivalent identification. --M ASEM (t) 15:02, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete File:Unearthly Child pilot.jpg and File:Doctor Who and an Unearthly Child.jpg as they both fail WP:NFCC. I have no issue leaving the infobox image, I believe there is just enough context around the discussion of what is going on in the image. -- Тимофей ЛееСуда . 00:49, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Comments - Pilot episode section deals with some of the changes, including the costume change. The picture there is a good illustration of that, so I'd say keep that.  On the book cover - practically all Doctor Who articles have a cover of the novelisation, so if consensus IS no book cover, then the others need to be deleted as well. Eleventh Doctor (talk) 11:41, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep All files should be kept as each related to things-in-themselves, namely, realizations of the story. The broadcast is not the pilot is not the novelization. All are included in the article as related to the story, yet could potentially be articles unto themselves. So this is a multi-topic article, and each topic deserves a separate representation through image. ClaudeReigns (talk) 19:17, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree with ClaudeReigns, the broadcast pilot, the unaired pilot and the novelisation are all related but separate and thus each deserving of a separate image. Tiller54 (talk) 20:50, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
 * comment - hmm, it appears the starter was unhappy at the fact that this discussion was going against him, and thus started another on a different place to delete an image anyway. Is that really acceptable? 94.194.111.16 (talk) 11:03, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Hardly unhappy. I started the FFD before people started expressing keep opinions.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 14:04, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Duke Ellington at Fargo, 1940 Live

We have 5 non-free covers with zero critical commentary of the covers, 4 of them should be removed. Werieth (talk) 18:42, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep the main image, plus the two alternative historical covers, as it shows the evolution of the recording. The anniversary reissue covers are not necessary unless there's something significant about them. Three images in this context is acceptable, and the release history is discussed. The actual covers can be mentioned in the text if that's desired in order to increase an understanding of the release history.  freshacconci  talk to me  19:14, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
 * We don't keep secondary/remaster/reprinted covers for sake of showing the evolution of the album's printing, unless there is discussion about the new cover art. You get one cover image for identification and require commentary on others to include them, if the covers are otherwise non-free. --M ASEM (t) 19:21, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Commentary can be added. Clearly there is a significance to the two historical covers -- I was clearly not referring to the reissues on CD. Deleting all images is overkill and ignores visually-oriented readers. And I remind you that "you get one cover image" is based on interpretation of policy as the non-free policy is very fluid (I'm not sure who the "you" is as I didn't add these files to the article). I will do some research on the album and see if I can find some discussion on the cover changes.  freshacconci  talk to me  19:29, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
 * NFC is not fluid when it comes to cover art. It's well established that there are very limited exceptions to allow for additional cover art for published works outside the one for identification which can be used without commentary on the cover art itself. This generally is only for alternative cover art that is marketed at the same time as the other release but in a different region or market. The ones used here for historical reprintings don't fall into those typical exemptions, and given that it is just text + photographs of Duke's band, I'm not seeing how this is going to have critical commentary, or help the reader understand the article. --M ASEM (t) 20:08, 5 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. In the case of this album, the original phonograph version is rare and the album has been re-released in other formats with other titles and track configurations. The album was even awarded a Grammy under one of these alternative titles with a different cover.  Allmusic has reviewed two of the releases separately and all of these permutations are discussed in the article.  Based on this, multiple image usage for this article clearly passes both the affirmative and negative of WP:NFC's contextual significance test.  Because a cover is the primary visual identifier of a music work, the images both "significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic" and their "omission would be detrimental to that understanding".  Each version of the album has a different title and cover design in addition to content variations.  I have added this commentary explicitly to the article.  Having the article dependent on any one or two images would seriously mislead readers as to the sum of the article's content and (as User:Freshacconci notes above) erect a barrier to visually-oriented users.  —  AjaxSmack   02:40, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
 * The material you have added is completely unsourced, and has zero commentary on the pictorial contents of the covers. Just because an album has multiple covers doesn't mean that the visual covers are remarkable in any way. (Quite a few albums have had many many covers over their lifetime, and none of them where remarkable in any way). However cases like Virgin Killer are a prime example of the critical commentary that the policy is looking for. Visual elements of the cover are discussed in depth using third party reliable sourcing. Werieth (talk) 02:45, 6 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment This is not a case where a single cover can serve for identification. Neither the original LP release nor the other issues are well-known graphic images that one can easily conjure up mentally as one might think of the Sgt. Pepper cover. In fact, as the images are for albums with different titles, maybe we should have five articles. Wouldn't that satisfy policy? ReverendWayne (talk) 21:50, 28 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment. The Reverend is on the right track, but hasn't gone far enough. The underlying article shouldn't be about an album, but about the concert, which "is considered one of the most significant of the Ellington concerts which survive as a recording." Each significant form in which the concert was released should have a subsection, with a single identifying image for each. I have to say the current NFCC rationales are quite inadequate, not actually identifying the sources for most or all of the images, and not readily associating the images with the relevant textual content.

Can this article really justify 16 non-free files? Werieth (talk) 20:29, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Images: Of those given, I don't think File:Roger McGuinn-glasses.jpg is needed (you can see these glasses in the lead image), File:The Byrds Raga Rock.png (the band is similar to the lead image at this point, and there's nothing interesting by the adding of a sitar that isn't described in text). The rest of the images do seem appropriate.
 * Audio: Too many samples when the songs that are being sampled are all notable (where the sound sample can be located) I would say one per section is appropriate to show how their sound changed over the years.
 * That should reduce the image use to about 9-10 files which seems reasonable compared to other major notable bands. --M ASEM (t) 20:44, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

In my eyeys, this logo only consists of simple geometric shapes and as a consequence does not meet the threshold of originality needed for copyright protection, and is therefore in the public domain (commons:Template:PD-textlogo). On the description page of the same file on de.WP it also says Erreicht nicht die nötige Schöpfungshöhe, um Urheberrechtsschutz zu genießen (= does not meet the required threshold of originality for copyright protection). However, a user has raised objections against transferring it to Commons, so please also see the discussion. | FDMS 20:01, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
 * We need to look at the country of origin here, not just its US take, prior to moving to commons. Germany takes a "civil law" take for copyright, meaning that unlike UK's more "sweat of the brow" take, it has a similar use like the US for considering originality. As such, this logo would like fail being original in Germany as it would in the US, and as such, should be considered uncopyrightable (The Commons page for TOO shows much more complex examples that are uncopyrightable in Germany, as a guide). --M ASEM (t) 20:06, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I think so too! Thanks for your fast clarification (it's from Austria BTW), I will now transfer it to Commons. | FDMS 20:13, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Austria is civil law too, so I would agree it's still okay there. --M ASEM (t) 20:18, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

File:Yuli-mamchur-dialogues-with-pro-russian-forces-in-crimea.jpg
We deleted the image based on Masem's finding that it comes from Getty. &mdash;Ahnoneemoos (talk) 02:34, 15 March 2014 (UTC) This file should not be deleted as having an invalid fair-use claim, because per WP:NFCC:
 * 1) There are no free equivalents of this photo.
 * 2) This photo respect commercial opportunities as it is not used in a manner that does not replace the original market role of the original copyrighted material.
 * 3) This photo is minimally used: it is only used on the article Yuli Mamchur to portray the moment in which Mamchur engaged pro-Russian forces amicably.
 * 4) This photo is a previous publication of a photo by the Associated Press which has been published by several outlets such as Metro.
 * 5) This photo meets Wikipedia's content standards and is encyclopedic.
 * 6) This photo adheres to our Image use policy and fully describes the image origins and copyright details on its description page.
 * 7) This photo is used on one article and one article alone: Yuli Mamchur.
 * 8) This photo significantly increase our readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding.
 * 9) This photo is used only on the article namespace and only one one single article.
 * 10) The image description of this photo identifies the source of the photo, its author, and its publisher clearly and unequivocally. The description page also indicates the policy provision claimed to permit its non-free use.

Therefore, this photo adheres clearly and unequivocally to our WP:NFCC policy and to the fair use doctrine in the United States. Because of this, I contest its deletion and strongly believe that its deletion will be detrimental to Wikipedia and to our readers.

&mdash;Ahnoneemoos (talk) 01:23, 15 March 2014 (UTC)


 * The photo is from Getty Images, which is a press agency, and per NFCC#2, our use immediately impacts their commercial opportunity (since Getty is in the business of selling these photos), and as such the image is not usable on WP unless the image itself is the subject of significant discussion (mainly, if a separate article could be created about the image.) --M ASEM (t) 01:27, 15 March 2014 (UTC)


 * No, this photo is from the Associated Press and the photographer is Ivan Sekretarev. I got this particular version from which is a blog, specifically from . Neither is from Getty Images. What makes you believe that it is from Getty Images? (honest and respectful question) I myself reduced its size and its quality in order to protect its commercial endeavors and in order to comply with the United States fair use doctrine. &mdash;Ahnoneemoos (talk) 01:43, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

 * ✅. I found four other sources that credit Sean Gallup from Getty Images as well:   . Considering this I'd say we must proceed with caution and delete the image. Agree? &mdash;Ahnoneemoos (talk) 02:04, 15 March 2014 (UTC)


 * heh, I just noticed that in order to find out the source on Metro you have to hover over the image. Since I never did this I didn't know the author was Sean. &mdash;Ahnoneemoos (talk) 02:10, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

This is a little messy, most of these should be pd-1923 except for the costume which is probably replaceable Werieth (talk) 19:39, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I updated all of the paintings/drawings to be PD-USonly as appropriate. The costume is only replaceable if it is on display, where someone could take a photo of it.  According to the museum (the website where the image originated) the piece as last shown there in January 2011. It was on display at the National Gallery of Art through October 2013. This set seems to travel some, but is still owned by V&A museum (originator of the photo). Based on this research, I would say that the image is replaceable, if one was in the right country. --  Тимофей  Лее  Суда .  22:39, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Do we really need 9 images? Werieth (talk) 19:55, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
 * You definitely don't need to show the calculator's look across all iterations of Windows. I think only 2 images are appropriate - the UI in the normal mode, and the UI in the scientific mode. These could be from different Windows versions. Arguably, one image could be sufficient, using a free mock up to show the different layouts of the "keys" between versions. --M ASEM (t) 19:59, 22 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Why was the Windows 3.11 calculator screenshot created using Windows 95 or later instead of Windows 3.11? If you create it using Windows 3.11 itself, then you get something which is arguably PD-ineligible. --Stefan2 (talk) 21:35, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Clear Fail of WP:NFCC : the subject is not dead and has just been paraded before the media  LGA <sub style="color:#8B0000;">talk <sup style="margin-left:-4ex"> edits   21:10, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Photos of people who are at an unknown location are typically seen as irreplaceable. Photos of people who are inaccessible because they are kept in prison are also typically seen as irreplaceable. It says that he was "paraded before the media", but AP, AFP and Reuters (who took the photos in the BBC article) do not publish free photographs. Was anyone else able to take photos of him? It says that he was taken to a prison, so it seems that it is not currently possible to take photos of him. It says that he was arrested in Mexico, so presumably he was taken to a Mexican prison, meaning that we can't expect PD-USGov photographs to be created. Unless it can be shown that freely licensed photos of him were taken as he was "paraded before the media" (or at some other point), I don't think that the image currently is replaceable. It says that US authorities were involved in the operation, but it doesn't say whether they took any photos of him. --Stefan2 (talk) 23:11, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Well we now know where he is and the fact he is alive, and the burden here is to show one can't be created, the FUR bases its claim on "The individual is an armed fugitive thus dangerous for a Wikipedia editor to photograph personally" and that he may "in reality, be dead" since neither is the case.  LGA <sub style="color:#8B0000;">talk <sup style="margin-left:-4ex"> edits   06:02, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Let's ignore the rationale issue and consider the facts: the person is now under arrest and appears to be waiting a trial. Regular public access to him is now highly limited, so at the present time, it for all purposes impossible to create a new free image. As such, until free images of this person are brought forward, NFCC#1 is met. Should previously-taken free images be found, then yes, replacement will be required, but since we can't create one at the present (even though one might have been possible the past) we can use non-free.  The rationale should be improve to identify the person's in prison to justify it better. --M ASEM  (t) 06:47, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Will it be possible for the general public to attend the trial, and if so, is photography permitted there? --Stefan2 (talk) 18:43, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Access to him in prison does not look like a problem, a quick Google images search for "Joaquín Guzmán Loera prison" shows a number of shots taken when he was in prison prior to his escape.

Fails WP:NFCC, but perhaps PD-textlogo? There is the background and the colour effect, though... Stefan2 (talk) 00:49, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The use in AFC needs to be removed, but it is used in a mainspace article. I don't think the font is a regular font however - I know there are typewriter-like faces out there but this shows an irregulatity around the edge that seems well beyond the design of such fonts. So this is likely still non-free. --M ASEM (t) 01:00, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
 * It's PD-textlogo. To be clear, it does not need to be an "off-the-shelf" font to fall short of protection in the United States. If you simply design your own font, and the letters are not pictorial representations (think letter in the shape of an animal), U.S. law states that it's ineligible for copyright. From their website:
 * Similarly, names, titles, short phrases, slogans, familiar symbols, mere variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering, coloring, and listings of contents or ingredients are not subject to copyright.
 * The Haz talk 07:51, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * No, that statement doesn't imply that; it does say the "wave" effect on City in this logo wouldn't be copyrightable. That said, I did take a look at various typewriter fonts and I think I can restate that it might be from some typewriter font set, though can't tell which one. So this is probably PD then. --M ASEM (t) 15:56, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Fair use is claimed and the image is currently unused.

This appears to violate WP:NFCC, except in Parliament of the United Kingdom. Stefan2 (talk) 17:51, 12 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep all - "The crowned portcullis has come to be accepted during the twentieth century as the emblem of both Houses of Parliament. As with many aspects of parliamentary life, this has arisen through custom and usage rather than as a result of any conscious decision." per House of Commons information office i.e. it is an emblem of the House of Lords as well and not just Parliament. All the uses, explained fully in very detailed rationales, are appropriate, as indeed you might expect given that the relevant pages are maintained by experts and enthusiasts (imagine!)


 * I've updated the links to the crowned portcullis factsheet (which had become defunct) for the benefit of those too challenged by internet search engines to locate it themselves.


 * I should be curious to hear from you, Stefan, your rationale for posting here. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 14:38, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
 * And that reason clearly establishes okay on the Parliament article where it is the official emblem, but no other. For example, it has no place on the Leader of the House of Lords or House of Commons since that is not that position's logo. --M ASEM (t) 19:56, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
 * It's the emblem of the House of Lords (you do know the House of Lords is one of the UK's two Houses of Commons?) as well and so can appear there (and indeed does, but as part of a more elaborate logo). I don't have the expertise (correct me if I'm wrong by all means, but I suspect that neither you nor Stefan have the expertise either) to judge whether where the other uses are correct. I do know it's reproduced on Commons notepaper and virtually all their stationary, including Hansard. I should think use on the Leader pages at least is appropriate. Frankly I think it would be more constructive to research whether it could be transferred to Commons. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 23:44, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Logos can only be used on the page about the entity that the logo represents to identify the organization - any other use requires sourced discussion about the logo. That is long-time standing practice. The different logos on the Houses of Lords and Commons are fine since the symbol is reused differently there and becomes a different argument. The logo on any other page but that of the Parliment page is inallowable. And no, it can't go to commons - UK does not have the equivalent of PD-USGov, and the threshold of originality is very low that this would easily be shown to be copyrightable under UK law, so it remains non-free. --M ASEM  (t) 23:55, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Well I defer on going to Commons and indeed suspected that would be the case. But the fact is that is an emblem of both Houses of Commons, which Stefan plainly didn't appreciate, and the use on other pages becomes a matter of debate. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 00:35, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
 * This specific file is not used on either Houses page, as there is a more specialized logo for those pages, and as such, Stefan's not even considering that. There are four pages that use this logo where it does not belong : Government of the United Kingdom, Leader of the House of Commons,  Leader of the House of Lords, and Speaker of the House of Commons (United Kingdom), and it cannot be used on those four since this logo is not the logo for any of those organizations or groups, period. --M ASEM  (t) 00:45, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Of course I meant Parliament of the United Kingdom. The other uses are a matter of debate. I'll check on Leader of the House of Commons since one has rather had occasion to interact in the past. Masem, this is not a hill of beans. Stop turning it into a pile of shit. Seriously. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 00:57, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
 * No, you're trying to argue against the status quo of how non-free images are used minimally and weaken the policy against the Foundation's mission goals. This file is the logo of one and exactly one organization (as it stands) and therefore it has only one place where it can be used for identification that otherwise meets our non-free policy. --M ASEM (t) 01:18, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
 * No, Masem. It's the emblem of both the Parliament of the United Kingdom and the House of Lords. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 01:30, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
 * From a non-free standpoint, this SVG is the logo of only Parliament. File:House of Lords.svg is the logo for only the House of Lords, and File:House of Commons of the United Kingdom.svg for only the House of Commons. Yes, graphically, there's a common element, but non-free we're looking at the limit of the specific file, and that file only applies to the Parliament.  Note that the other two SVG I mention are perfectly fine in those two repsective articles. --M ASEM  (t) 01:36, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I've reached  a personal resolution here with the issues involved. Good luck with the rest of it. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 01:49, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

I can confirm that the portcullis is reproduced on the stationery of the Leader of the House of Commons (see here). I thought it was. Incidentally, for the sake of clarity those who know me here, I did momentarily confuse the Leader with the Speaker - apologies. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 11:15, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

I have taken the risky step of personally releasing this faithful reproduction of Charles Barry's work to Wikimedia Commons, the image is. Should his copyright agent wish to contact me, I will be only too happy to put it up for deletion. As Charles sadly passed away in 1860, I would be surprised if anyone was concerned enough to waste their time protecting his copyright any more when there is no legal basis to do so, even if they are the Queen of England. --Fæ (talk) 11:49, 15 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey Fæ! Nice to see you here. I linked your upload of File:Lydia at Afternoon Tea LACMA AC1996.27.1.jpg into the gallery at Gardner (Cassatt) Held by His Mother. I really would like to complete the sandbox start I made on Mary Cassatt's famous Durant-Ruel aquatints. Maybe, we shall see (erm ... that wasn't a royal we). Coat of Many Colours (talk) 16:59, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Wait, are you saying that this was made by a man who died in 1860? This should make the logo PD. The only question is then whether the SVG is copyrightable in itself, which sometimes is the case. --Stefan2 (talk) 00:29, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * "Wait" is a laugh because you banged right in didn't you Stefan? You certainly didn't bother to locate the information file whose link had gone defunct. If you had bothered you could have read all about Charles Barry and the ubiquity of this emblem in the Palace of Westminster. Why should we pay the slightest attention to what you have to say now? It's plain that you know absolutely nothing whatsoever about the issues here. Really I can't grasp what motivates you. Fæ is quite right in his comments he makes at Commons about the copyright status of this emblem (i.e. is to say it's not in copyright). If you read the rationale (did you?) you will see it makes the same point: "This is a heraldic device; as such, it is protected under special United Kingdom legislation for heraldry, rather than copyright or trademark." Would the UK law of arms be another of your know-all specialities, Sfan (perhaps you run an approved account dealing solely with the issues)? Coat of Many Colours (talk) 01:03, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Please note that I copied File:House of Commons of the United Kingdom.svg to Commons under the same name (commons:File:House of Commons of the United Kingdom.svg). I think the information provided by Fae settled the issue. Regards, Yann (talk) 04:39, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Whilst this clearly meets NFCC, I am querying if this is a pre 1923 image, in which case P-1923-abroad might apply. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:37, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
 * If I understand correctly, the postcard depicts the theatre as it appeared from 1901 to 1960 (Matcham design). This suggests the postcard was made (and probably also first published) during that period. Now, if it was first published before 1923, then it is in the public domain in the United States. If it entered the public domain in the UK before January 1, 1996 (the date of restoration in the UK), then it is in the public domain in the United States as well. If it was first published after 1923 and did not enter the public domain in the UK before January 1, 1996, then it is still copyrighted in the United States (if it was published in, say 1924, then it is still copyrighted until 2019). --  Toshio   Yamaguchi  10:08, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
 * See my theory is that if this file went to Commons then there would be a sfan waiting there wanting to delete it because its pre-1923 status is uncertain. Probably why it was uploaded as NFCC in the first place in the pious hope of avoiding that drama. The uploader on his Talk page has very nicely explained to you concerning another file you're anxious about:


 * "I AM NOT SORRY TO BE SO BLUNT, IN FACT I AM GETTING REALLY BLOODY ANNOYED !  NO  - I DON'T WANT IT PUT ON COMMONS - I NEVER DID - I CHOSE ENGLISH WIKIPEDIA. IT'S  YOU  THAT SEEM OBSESSED WITH PUTTING IT ON COMMONS. WHY CAN'T YOU LEAVE IT IN THE INITIAL STATE IT WAS WHEN I FIRST UPLOADED IT AND ALL THE OTHER PICTURES FOR THAT MATTER ?

If this indeed is from 1830, then I don't see how it can be unfree. Stefan2 (talk) 15:06, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes. I suppose the uploader simply didn't know anything about the issues. Amazing! I've templated it for transfer to Commons.

 * Oh, just for fun I'll concoct a theory and tie one hand by accepting the 1830 claim. Perhaps George Bodington's grandson, Oliver Bodington, showed creativity when he coloured in the photo in 1906.[//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Portrait_of_George_Bodington.jpg#metadata] Oliver died in 1936 so the coloured image was still in UK copyright in 1996 and therefore US copyright holds until 95 years after the (unknown?) publication date, quite possibly after 1923. Mark as PD. Thincat (talk) 11:17, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes indeed, even better well spotted. 1830 is really early for a photograph and it was buried in the metadata. I confess to imagining it was a painting. I do think it's reasonable to suppose it was first published before 1923, thus evading the URAA issue (it's not clear it was actually coloured by Oliver?) Anyway I'm going to transfer to Commons Categories Category:Physicians from England and  Category:1830s portrait photographs and let Stefan2's doppelgänger over there tag it back if so minded :) ...

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

In the Western Wall entry there's only a passive mention of the picture with only one word “iconic” qualifies as commentary. This most likely does not qualify for free use as the rational "The photograph is perhaps the most famous representation of Israel's participation in the war." implies that there are many photos on the subject so it is unlikely that all pictures about Israel's participation in the war meet NFCC#1 "No free equivalent" in the sense that illustrate Israel's participation - a free picture may be just enough to express the idea that Israel participated the war. The section that mentions "Images with iconic status or historical importance" (NFCI#8) explicitly states that it does not override NFC.

In the Six-Day War entry there are some commentaries about the picture, however they are in footnotes, not in body text. This probably fails NFCC#8 "Contextual significance".

The Tank man picture was iconic to the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, but the result of was single use only - not even allowed in the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 article. --Skyfiler (talk) 01:49, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Backcover fails WP:NFCC. Stefan2 (talk) 14:56, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Why the backcover if not the frontcover? Call me stupid (but in educated English please if I may insist). Just curious. Some sort of backdoor issue perhaps? Coat of Many Colours (talk) 20:00, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * WP:NFCC says "An entire work is not used if a portion will suffice." The back cover does not identify the work as well as the front cover does. Therefore Stefan is saying that an image that is just the front cover would fit within policy better than one with the whole cover. -- Тимофей  Лее  Суда .  20:04, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I can take that as authoritative? That you are as fluent in Urdu as you are perhaps in Russian? Indeed you have me at an advantage there. It's a fracking cover Timothy. Come on. It would be a real pity if it was mutilated just because of Stefan's backdoor issues. Is he in by the way? I would really like to have a word with him about his Mickey Gove post. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 15:38, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I can say with 100% confidence that I am as fluent in Urdu as I am in Russian. But I'm sure that you know that by now. And its not relevant here. If there was critical commentary about the back cover, then it may be useful, but as the image is only used to show the cover of the work (under WP:NFCI) we still should only use a portion of the image. The image is not "mutilated" because we only show the front cover, actually that is what the standard is here, and what is currently in use in most articles that use cover art (whether it be a book, film, album, etc). I don't know what you are talking about with "backdoor issues" or a "Mickey Gove post," nor do I know if Stefan is in.  I'm sure you could try to reach him at his talkpage and ask him about these.

Image of dubious purpose. In Balika Vadhu, it says that the image is a promotional logo image for Balika Vadhu. On the other hand, in Chinnari pellikuthuru, it says that it is a promotional logo image for Chinnari pellikuthuru. It probably can't be both at the same time. Fails WP:NFCC in one of the articles. Fails WP:NFCC in the article about the show for which it isn't a logo image. Stefan2 (talk) 14:32, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
 * In this case, I believe the image is a promotional photo for both but I believe they are different names for the same show. From the article Balika Vadhu, it states that it is also telecast on on Maa TV as Chinnari pellikuthuru. Most likely the articles should be merged as they seem to be talking about the same show. This would also eliminate any issues with failing WP:NFCC#8 & 10c. --  TLSuda  (talk) 15:14, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

The image appears to violate WP:NFCC. The logo is below the threshold of originality, but the vectorisation is maybe not. Replaceable by a different vectorisation of the same logo. Stefan2 (talk) 00:53, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Eh, this should be free. It is (apparently) the logo's owner and this is their SVG which they can't copyright. If it was the case the logo SVG was made by some third-party, I'd agree that a true free version made by our graphics lab or something like that would be better. But this is out of their own hands, and thus is uncopyrightable to start. --M ASEM (t) 01:25, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Er, anyone who makes a vectorisation of a logo can hold the rights to the vectorisation, provided that the vectorisation meets the threshold of originality for computer software. Note that User:Ollieinc has overwritten the file with a different file from an unknown source. --Stefan2 (talk) 15:43, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The logo itself is just a simple numeral, which does not appear to be eligible for copyright protection, so a non-free SVG is clearly a violation of NFCC#1 and should be replaced with a free version. My understanding is that although the logo fails TOO, the XML code of the SVG may be copyrighted. I don't know if it is possible to create an SVG of this logo with different XML code, or if a new file is created which produces the same or similar XML from scratch, whether that could be considered a copyright violation or not. --  Toshio   Yamaguchi  21:41, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Fails NFCC due to being replaceable. Perhaps we can't have photos of the three together, but a collage of free images would surely be possible. -mattbuck (Talk) 08:42, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

In this case, the image appears to be also showing part of the "attitude" of the group. That said, a group that disbanded in 2011 might have free imagery around (a quick flickr check doesn't reveal any) but this should encourage people to find some. --M ASEM  (t) 18:05, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Does this article really need 6 non-free files? Werieth (talk) 23:19, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The six files would seem to be the three entitled "On September 9, 2013, an internal NSA presentation on iPhone Location Services was leaked by Der Spiegel" and the three "In February 2014, The Intercept and NBC News released several GCHQ documents detailing the agency's propaganda and deception tactics". Can you clarify please where you think these breach the English Wikipedia's exemption doctrine policy.
 * Thank you. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 01:17, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * We don't need images of the nearly-all text files to talk about the content of the programs - eg, the publication by sources like Der Spiegel is sufficient validation to prove they exist, and the content of these slides have been or can be summarized in text (they fail NFCC#1 as text can be used to replace these) In addition, while Der Spiegel and others published them, they likely did it without permission/consent of the NSA, and thus these should be considered failing previous legal publication (NFCC#4, previous publication). Now, arguably the core NSA files would fall under PD-USGov, but again, they have not been published by that organization formally, so even if "free" they would fail copyright policy. --M ASEM (t) 01:25, 16 March 2014 (UTC)


 * The three images under British Crown Copyright appear to violate WP:NFCC and WP:NFCC: easily replaceable by text, and the article can easily be understood without the images (so removal wouldn't be detrimental to the understanding of the article).
 * The three Iphone images also appear to violate WP:NFCC and WP:NFCC, for the same reasons. All of them are used in three different articles, and they appear to fail both WP:NFCC and WP:NFCC in those articles too. --Stefan2 (talk) 01:27, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Can the usage of this image really be justified on 5 articles when it has its own stand alone article? Werieth (talk) 23:34, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes. I'm inclined to wonder what this image might add to an article, other than in its stand alone article. Course there can't be too may imges of Polonium around, scary stuff. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 02:21, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * This image, then used in four articles, was listed for review on 30 Aug 2013 and closed as a keep on 6 Oct 2013, here. As far as I can see, the grounds for its use in a fifth article are identical. There are 344 articles that mention polonium. The five articles that use this image do so in order to illustrate their elusive subject matter, either self-referentially (polonium article) or in the context of related chemical elements (chalcogen; metalloid; p-block; and other metal articles).

 * It didn't, although an administrator decided to redirect the page instead of deleting it. The original author later recreated the article by removing the redirect. --Stefan2 (talk) 01:45, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes. I do actually think the defence that it's a bona fide journal is fair, but it's hard to find a convincing cite for notability. Gurdjieff himself of course a noted figure. I though this iffy researching incidentally File:Georgi Ivanovitch Gurdjieff -- The Man, The Teaching, His Mission.jpg. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 02:09, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * If the original author recreated the article from the admin-closed decision without seeking review to recreate or essentially recreating the same article, that's something that can be speedily undone (it's a CSD allowance) --M ASEM (t) 02:20, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I've tagged the admin that redirected it to get his take on it. --M ASEM (t) 02:28, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * (Edit conflict) Yes, but I shan't initiate that. Years ago I knew a rather brilliant lawyer totally into Gurdjieff. He's passed on of course, but perhaps he was right all along up there dancing in the fourth sphere. I've never understood how fantastically brilliant people can fall for this kind of stuff (Isaac Newton himself is an example) - probably I lack imagination, certainly the genius :(.

 * Ray of Creation absolutely brill, Masem. Not to be missed and don't even think about tagging it (Morrison's plonk getting to me a bit earlier than usual ..., sorry). Coat of Many Colours (talk) 03:06, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

This was being used on the subject's biography page, but I have found and uploaded an image (File:Patrick Abercrombie, 1945.png) taken as a screen grab from the 1945 Ministry of Information film The Proud City - A Plan for London. The film was produced by the British government and crown copyright of it has expired. Consequently the existing image is no longer required for the purpose it was being used.--DavidCane (talk) 17:48, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
