Authorship claimed by uploader, who is absent, yet this appears to have been scanned in when framed. Surely the author/copyright holder would have the original...? The JPS talk to me  15:59, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

The uploader is absent, but the restrictions applied by the uploader state "no fee is charged for distribution" which would limit commercial usage. Jordan 1972 (talk) 00:31, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

The uploader is absent, who states that the "date, photographer and other information is unknown" and the restrictions on the image is that it is for non-commercial purposes. Jordan 1972 (talk) 01:40, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

image licese restrictions state that material can not be used for advertising, used in parodies... these restictions make the image non-free. Jordan 1972 (talk) 01:53, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree completely this is non-free. It's a particularly laughable license because parody is probably the most protected form of fair use there is. Still, no good for Wikipedia. IronGargoyle (talk) 02:45, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Image:Jangmi Cat.5.JPG
Image is tagged as self-created - I find it incredibly doubtful that someone with the means to provide an aerial view of a cat 5 hurricane would elect to save it as a 205x182 pixel JPG with no metadata. Potential speedy, but would feel more comfortable with sanity check. Contributor is possibly a non-native speaker of English. Badger Drink (talk) 05:58, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Claims that it is public domain as a press release, I suspect that the uploader has confused "publicly available" with "not copyrighted". Can't find anything saying that South African court documents are in the public domain. Hut 8.5 12:17, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Uploader claims this isn't eligible for copyright (obviously not true), can't find anything saying that documents from this organisation are in the public domain. Hut 8.5 12:19, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

This image was listed for investigation at Copyright problems/2008 October 18, but images are no longer addressed there. The lister, User:Banzoo, noted this potential publisher of first instance:. The uploader vaguely claims a different source, REDDITDOTCOM, and asserts Free Art license. Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:07, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The poster did get it from reddit.com, someone asked what it was and so he posted it to wikipedia. However, it's clearly listed as "All Rights Reserved" on Flickr. --TIB (talk) 15:48, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Image:Tricky,KukandMark.jpg
Uploader does not appear to be the copyright holder Stifle (talk) 13:56, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I see no reason to assume bad faith with this image. Camera metadata is present, and the user has no history of questionable uploads. IronGargoyle (talk) 14:10, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I am not so sure about this - I would suggest an OTRS be submitted because it is questionable. In looking over the users other uploads you will find File:Kuk sm.jpg which is watermarked and whose summary says "taken by Angela Morris and used by permission". As with the above image "Camera metadata is present". We could assume good faith here but there is File:TrickyStewart.jpg, with no credit as well as File:Monti, Tricky, Kuk and Mark.jpg which is the uncropped version of Image:Tricky,KukandMark.jpg. But rather than simply go off of those images take a close look at File:J.Que.jpg and you will see it is "self-made" and it does appear to be, implying that "Kidfrost08" is also "J.Que". But now look at File:Kuk Promo Shot 2.jpg which starts off with "I hereby assert that I, Dimitry Loiseau aka Dimitry L., am the creator and/or sole owner...." which now seems to imply the uploader is "Dimitry Loiseau aka Dimitry L." And finally look at File:Thaddis "Kuk" Harrell.jpg which is credited to "Julie Frost". Out of all of these that one seems to be closest to the user name "Kidfrost08". So I would say delete unless an OTRS comes in on any of these. Soundvisions1 (talk) 04:51, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

I don't know what an "OTRS" is, but I will submit it if that will resolve this. I don't what else to provide regarding this image, which I have the rights to. I got written permission from Dimitry L. and Angela Morris to use their work. I in fact made sure their versions had reference to them within the image itself. I am somewhat new to this, and am protecting everyone's work to the best of my ability...it's actually quite important to me. if I could just a specific request for something I need to provide, I'm sure I could do it. thanks. Thanks.kidfrost08 (talk) 04:51, 23 January 2009 (UTC) -- Kept No reason, for now, to assume uploader is not the copyright holder. Garion96 (talk) 19:47, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Image is allowed only for educational purposes; therefore non-free image Jordan 1972 (talk) 14:14, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Blaze Away, by Abe Holzmann was first published in 1901. This is clearly in the public domain. Duke's claim seems like copyfraud (or at least a carelessly worded copyright statement) to me. IronGargoyle (talk) 16:57, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * This appears to have been dealt with -- will remove notices.--Jordan 1972 (talk) 17:31, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

License states it is only for non-commercial purposes Jordan 1972 (talk) 14:21, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixed Naturenet | Talk 11:31, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * You can't just take out the part that states non-commercial and think its all fine. There is no indication that you as uploader are the photographer.  In fact, the information provided at upload states "Taken by the Isle of Wight Council".  How an image is taken by a whole Council I am not sure, perhaps it was a for-hire shot, not sure; but there is no link to a source.  Wikipedia needs to confirm either the original non-commerical license or this new and improved version.  I could not find anything about image releasing on either of the two external sites listed in the Isle of Wight Council article.  Perhaps you could provide more information about why you can change the licnese.  Thanks.--Jordan 1972 (talk) 16:56, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

This image licnese states that it can not be altered, which would prohibit derivatives. Jordan 1972 (talk) 15:47, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

a) The image (or diagram) is a statement of fact. If it was altered, it would then be a different statement. b) Creating random diagrams with gnuplot or doodles on a blank canvas representing other facts isn't really that hard, probably easier than editing this one into something it is not.
