The image is not from the Commons and there is a somewhat strange explanation of the copyright situation in the licence. It says that the image copyright belonged to the Yad Vashem museum and that the museum has released the copyright. However no information or documentation to confirm this is provided as I would expect to see if the copyright was indeed released. I did a bit of searching at the Yad Vashem site but did not find anything relevant there. Sounds rather suspicious to me, especially since the image uploader, User:RachelBrown has a notice on her userpage saying that the user is banned and indef-blocked for sockpuppetry or something like that. Don't know what that was about but it does not look good. — Nsk92 (talk) 00:38, 4 December 2008 (UTC).

orphaned, if this is an official 'seal' of the Smithsonian, the image would not be PD & they would be the (c) holder Skier Dude  ( talk ) 08:10, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

orphaned, UE; 1st version - with the generic image name the landscape is indeterminable; 2nd version is a non-free logo  Skier Dude  ( talk ) 09:56, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I deleted the non-free logo. The landscape image, though, is labeled on its face "Southern Methodist University." --Moonriddengirl (talk) 03:17, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

The fair-use rationale seems unjustified. The image doesn't illustrate Roman Catholicism per se. The article also mentions street children only in passing, and helping them is in no way specific to the catholic church. --Latebird (talk) 10:20, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Low resolution shot, no meta-data. I suspect this image was taken from elsewhere. J Milburn (talk) 17:49, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Claimed to be PD-US and to originate about 1920. No evidence presented that the photo was PUBLISHED before 1923 - the type in question continued in use until 1932 - the link given goes to a different photo of the same or similar aircraft which says nothing about where or when it was taken or published.Nigel Ish (talk) 19:29, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The last 2-engine W8 was built in 1924 -- this photo is believed to be of the prototype, built in 1919 (note lack of logo or markings). It was a commercial photo, and was published around 1919 or 1920. Almost certainly PD now. Link goes to a reverse-printed copy of same neg. Thanks, Pete Tillman (talk) 19:53, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The photo linked to is NOT a reverse printed photo of the same aircraft - indeed it is not the same aircraft - look at the windows and the different arrangement of fuel tanks on the wings. Also, the aircraft does appear to have markings, with a registration partly obscured by the wings and a marking on the nose.  Almost certainly PD does not equal definately PD.Nigel Ish (talk) 20:14, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Right you are, different aircraft, and I think the linked photo is the prototype (note smaller engines & landing gear). Sorry -- I'll change it. If you require CERTAINTY, I can do a Fair Use, but it seems silly for something this old, that very likely wasn't renewed even in the event it wasn't published prior to 1923. As is often the case, not much documentation available 90 years on. Thanks, Pete Tillman (talk) 22:30, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Daft question but if the uploader did not get it from the geocities link were did it come from? it appears you dont known where you got it. Most of the W8s were named but the image is not clear enough to show the name on the front. Highly unlikely that is was published in the United States and PD in the UK is seventy years (1937) (if the author is not known) but it really needs a source just to prove where it came from which is probably true also if you want to claim fair use. MilborneOne (talk) 20:07, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't suppose you have an unquestionably PD image of a W8? Neither of mine are very good, and lack any orig. source info. TIA, Pete Tillman (talk) 18:30, 6 December 2008 (UTC)


 * [start over at left] I'll see if I can find a better (at least, better-documented) PD photo of this aircraft, as time permits -- MilborneOne sent some leads (thanks!). In the meanwhile, why don't we leave this (very likely) PD photo as a placeholder. OK with you? Thanks, Pete Tillman (talk) 21:24, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Unjustified fair-use rationale. A free replacement can easily be made. --Latebird (talk) 23:24, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
