Based on image quality and what appears to be a crease on the lower quarter, this appears to be a photograph of a pre-existing newspaper/magazine photo, and not an original work of the uploader. &mdash; TAnthonyTalk 08:46, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Uploader has uploaded several copyvio images, claiming them to be his own work (check deleted contribs). This looks like a frame captured from footage of a pro-wrestling match, not a single still image due to encoding artefacts. No EXIF data Papa November (talk) 13:09, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

You have no proof that it is NOT my work. I filmed the video and had the snapshot made. --Mazfired (talk) 18:06, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * While I'd like to assume good faith, you were blocked for repeatedly violating the image use policy and have uploaded several blatent copyright violations since then. This mean that the burden of proof is on you, I'm afraid.  Can you tell us some details about the video? - at the very least where/when was it made?

"public domain" means the invention, not the image. Ipatrol (talk) 15:59, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Interesting question. The site from which the image came says "This headholding device is in the public domain and can NOT be patented. Diagrams are published in T. Grandin 1993. Livestock Handling and Transport, CABI Publishing, p. 306. This was done to make this device readily available and to improve animal welfare." That would seem to be sufficient.  Is a legal opinion needed?  --John Nagle (talk) 04:31, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Public domain in patent and public domain in copyright are two different things. In the text you mentioned it means the invention is not and will never be patented. The image itself however is a different story and there is no mention of it's status on the site. In fact the date sometimes implies copyright. With no information on it's copyright we should err on the side of caution and remove it.--Ipatrol (talk) 19:21, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

The uploader clearly states that this image comes right out of a news article, which 99% of the time implies that the rights to the photo are still held by the photographer who took the image. Since the subject is still alive, it's obvious that we can still get free alternatives of his images. Pandacomics (talk) 16:39, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * This is out of scope here, as the image is tagged non-free. Stifle (talk) 17:23, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

So does the person in the image have to be dead, before I can use an image of them? Ok so this picture represents a point in the actors life. Where he attended the 2008 MBC Drama Awards. Does that count for anything? Colleen16 (talk) 7:12, 26 January 2009
 * No. The image needs to have some significance in relation to the article if you're going to try and claim fair use. This image serves no purpose other than to identify the subject, hence it is replaceable by a free alternative. PC78 (talk) 12:34, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Result of the discussion was keep. Publish date demonstrated to be pre-1923. Closed by -Andrew c [talk] 17:25, 24 February 2009 (UTC) Tagged as PD-US but claimed to be taken from a 1953 work. Stifle (talk) 17:22, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

The image was created and published in the US prior to circa 1845; the 1953 author of the book is not the author of the image. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coosbane (talk • contribs)
 * The image--if taken by an 18-year-old photographer in 1845--would be in the public domain unless its author lived to be more than 105 years old. If the author was older, the numbers get more ridiculous. This is also assuming it was not published before 1923. Clearly public domain. IronGargoyle (talk) 15:09, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * There's no proof the image was created prior to then, unless Coosbane would care to supply some... Stifle (talk) 12:53, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, he died in 1851--which seems proof enough--but that aside, here is a book with the same picture of him, published in 1908 (on a plate following page 16). IronGargoyle (talk) 03:39, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
