The uploader claims that this is a self-made image. However, it looks like a publicity picture (not home made) and I have found some sites that posted this picture back in 2005 (which would make sense for a publicity picture since that is when Mario Kart DS came out), a Mario Wiki where the picture was uploaded over a year ago and another site that had the pic up in 2005. I think this prooves that the user did not create the pic (plus it doesn't have any source or license tags). —  TJ   Spyke   00:32, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

CC-BY-SA-3.0 lisence is incorrect according to the source. Images are licensed non-commercially and no derivatives(CC-BY-SA-NC-ND). That is not apropriate for wikipedia. There is also a more free license for web publishing, but that is to limited to be conidered a free license. I can not see that fair use can apply. Rettetast (talk) 15:19, 7 March 2008 (UTC) ANYONE, by which we mean commercial and non-commercial alike, can use FreeFoto.com images in an online setting, providing they provide attribution to the image and a link back to FreeFoto.com (either the image or the main site). This license allows blogs, social networking sites and use in emails, just to name a few, providing they provide the required attribution, this includes sites that pay people to write, carry advertising or are selling and promoting products. The only requirement the attribution and link back.MickMacNee (talk) 16:39, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * These are being used under www.freefoto.com's condition 1 of their Conditions of Free Use and Download instructions :
 * Since this license is limited to an "online setting", the license is not free. The image can't be used on wikipedia. Rettetast (talk) 17:34, 7 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I would look more at their Commercial Use License Agreement, specifcally:

"User Warranties. You warrant that you will take all necessary steps to prohibit and prevent duplication or further distribution of the image(s)."
 * We certainly don't do that, we basically encourage people to re use the content. Additionally, its unclear whether they allow derivative works (so we could take those ugly watermarks out). Mr.  Z- man  18:38, 7 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Copied from MickMacNee's talk page:
 * Freefoto.com act as a stock photography supplier, and a web hoster. The Commercial Use License Agreement Z man refers to there applies to the commercial sale of their photos to customers, not the low resolution ones hosted on the website. MickMacNee (talk) 19:32, 7 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The images are licensed under cc-by-nc-nd 3.0. That makes them incompatible with free licensing requirements here. --Hammersoft (talk) 19:39, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I can not find any information in the source that the copyright holder has released all rights. Rettetast (talk) 15:28, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * This image is promotional material clearly marked COPYRIGHT FREE by the original publisher, and is not replacable by a free image MickMacNee (talk) 16:42, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Where do you see this? And to this mean that the copyright holder has release all rights? Rettetast (talk) 17:37, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Ahh. I see know that it is marked on the image itelf. My last question stands. I have not taken a stand. Rettetast (talk) 17:40, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It is my understanding that 'copyright free' means the owner has released all rights. MickMacNee (talk) 17:46, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Including the copyrighted image of the Indiana license plate prevents this image from being released into the public domain. I further suspect the image's copyright status based on the uploader's history of other non-libre uploads. —  pd_THOR  undefined | 17:30, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

uploader claims own work, but this is their only contribution other than sticking it into an article, it's low resolution and no meta data. I highly doubt uploader is author MECU ≈ talk 20:12, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

This is my own work. I spent two weeks at training camp last year taking pictures as sports photography is a hobby of mine. I am not sure how to respond to the reasoning that since I have not written any articles or made any other contributions, my authorship is in question. I made the photograph low-resolution on purpose and didn't include any meta data because I thought it was unneeded. I tried to follow all the guidelines for posting pictures yet apparently I missed something. Please let me know what proof your require to verify my authorship and what guidelines I need to follow should I choose to upload any more images. Bearhanded (talk) 01:23, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * If it is yours, then it is a violation of Wikipedia policy to include a watermark on the image of user-created content. You should reupload the image (under the same name) with the watermark removed. I would be satisfied if you either upload the same image with the watermark removed (meaning you would have to have the original) or upload or point to a larger resolution image with metadata here or somewhere on the internet.

 * I created this image to mimic the final image in the movie. It's all original work.  It does look almost exactly like the original image I duplicated, so should I add a non-free license to the image? Dreadstar  †  21:46, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * What all is original? I assume you got the red light and the baby from a film screenshot? But even if you took them yourself, I still think this would count as a Derivative work. Garion96 (talk) 17:15, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Just the baby and the Earth are from the film, the rest is totally original. I'm updating the image with my own Earth image and with a new baby image.  Give me a bit to finish it, then I'll post and you can tell me what you think!  Dreadstar  †  02:12, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Image is claimed to be PD-old-70, but according to this edit by the uploader the photo was taken in 1944, meaning it isn't even 70 years old to begin with. One Night In Hackney 303  21:31, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

The user says they are releasing it under the GNU license, but they provide proof that they didn't create the image since it comes from wwe.com. So unless this editor is really Vince McMahon (majority owner and chairman of WWE), he doesn't have the power to release any WWE copyrighted material under a free license  TJ   Spyke   23:06, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
