Has Stuart Wilson given us permission to use this photo? -Nard 02:00, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes. I sent his email to the OTRS people. --Helenalex (talk) 02:02, 9 November 2008 (UTC)


 * What about these?:

 * Does Stuart Wilson have a good claim to copyright on all of these images, and will the OTRS message confirm that he's releasing them into the public domain, or just an acceptable licence (all are tagged PD at present)? — mholland (talk) 15:11, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

The email, which covers all the photos, said that none of the photos are copyright. They are all the general candidate pics that Act send out to news organisations and so forth. --Helenalex (talk) 00:45, 10 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Copyright exists automatically. Even if ACT has the right to distribute these as publicity photos, it may not have the right to license them freely. If the e-mail does not establish Wilson as the copyright-holder, the OTRS volunteer who deals with the ticket should consider deleting these images. This is regrettable, but all of the photos appear to be of living people, and free equivalents should be found. — mholland (talk) 22:27, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

-- deleted, can be restored if a clear otrs permission has come through. Garion96 (talk) 12:17, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

While D'Evelyn was born in 1855, he died in 1932, so it's unclear whether this image was first published during the period that would make it in the public domain. Ricky81682 (talk) 05:00, 9 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Following User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )'s link to the source, I see from from this page that the image is considered "In his mature years." Not particularly helpful but using the image from his youth might be more palatable. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:51, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Copyright is not clear. went from "local villager" to "local publican", neither of which are explanatory. Ricky81682 (talk) 05:06, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Image:Melvin Purvis.jpg
Since we don't have a source, I cannot tell where it was published or exactly when. Since Purvis died in 1960, it would fall under the pre-1964 rule but it's possible that it was only published posthumously. Ricky81682 (talk) 05:17, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Ah, so it's 70 year for the UK, not 50. Thanks. I'll wait until 2024, then. --TraceyR (talk) 14:37, 10 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Image tagged changed to show copyrighted image and fair use statement added. MilborneOne (talk) 21:59, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

The creator appears to have photographed a magazine article. This does not make grant him/her rights over its use. — Seanh (talk) 23:47, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Deleted, not original work of uploader who had no right to license it as their own work. User has already been alerted about this problem. -- Infrogmation (talk) 17:41, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It would have been nice to have notice of this proposed deletion at the page where the image was linked. It may well be fair-use.  Could someone please restore it into my user space, so I can decide whether to re-upload it and supply a fair-use rationale? -- Zsero (talk) 18:47, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
