 * Sure, it is a communist poster, but there is no indication that it was made in the Soviet Union. The only hints I got was from http://humus.livejournal.com/1953040.html?style=mine saying it is an Isreali poster in support of the May Day holiday.

 * Comment. This image was uploaded by User:Blastikus, who has been blocked for disruption --- tendentious editing involving anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.  I moved the image to a less tendentious name.  He probably isn't going to show up here to provide a provenance.  It certainly looks like a Soviet Union official image --- Stalin is a clue --- and may possibly have some encyclopedic value.  All I can read on it is "1 b.Mai" and "ha.shalom".  My understanding is that official Soviet propaganda symbols are not objects of copyright.  - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:56, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

 * My wife (nee Deborah Hines) is a direct descendent of William Hines, one of the Hines Brothers who ran this business: we presume that the surviving family (two sisters and one brother who have authorised publication) have copyright in this advertisement presumably developed for and paid by the firm Hines Brothers in or before 1903. I feel that Wikipedia is the appropriate place to put this in the public domain. Please advise me what other copyright is needed.Duncanogi (talk) 14:31, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
 * You cannot "presume" when it comes to copyright. Either you own the copyright, and have proof of such, or you don't. In the first case, you can submit your proof here. In the second case, your upload should be deleted as it violates copyright. Simon-in-sagamihara (talk) 11:27, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Technically has a source (PD tag refers to the uploader as being the copyright holder), but based on the low resolution and nature of the image I'm inclined to think that it was copied from somewhere. Orphaned. –Drilnoth (T/C) 16:55, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Technically has a source (PD tag refers to the uploader as being the copyright holder), but based on the low resolution and nature of the image I'm inclined to think that it was copied from somewhere. Further, I doubt that the uploader took all of these images from various points in time. The last image seems a little more believable because it has metadata, but if the uploader doesn't pay attention to copyrights on a number of images I'd tend to be suspicious of their others. –Drilnoth (T/C) 16:57, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Appears to be from . Although the source is a wiki based on the MediaWiki engine, that does not automatically makes its contents freely-licensed. From what I could tell by using Google's translator, no specific license is specified for edits, just a general statement that the text is free for use. Even if that were strong enough to make the image tagged as free, though, the images themselves don't have any indication of copyright on the image pages. See, for example  (which is File:Municipalities of the province of Azua.jpg). Without more clear evidence of image licensing, I think we have to assume that these are non-free. (Note: I didn't look up each image on the source wiki; I'm guessing that the uploader added all of them to Wikipedia the same way, so they'd all have a similar lack of licensing info at the source). Take into account also the user's history of copyvios, for which they have now been blocked. –Drilnoth (T/C) 17:15, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
