 * No freedom of panorama in the United States, see Commons:COM:FOP. The vehicle looks complex and the second year, 1986, tells that it is a recent sign. Stefan2 (talk) 01:12, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * The photo shows not only the painting but also a 3D frame and a fairly large amount of background, so it doesn't seem to qualify for PD-Art. I'm not sure if the confusing licence specification can qualify for PD-self. Stefan2 (talk) 01:15, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * No freedom of panorama in the United States, see Commons:COM:FOP. Stefan2 (talk) 01:22, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This is a public sign on public property, produced by the local government, which is funded by the public. How does a picture of it violate copyright? Who would be damaged by someone taking a picture of it and posting it on a non-profit encyclopedia? The purpose of copyright is to protect creators from being materially damaged by someone copying their work. This certainly does not do that. I respectfully request that this image not be deleted unless a consensus of Wikipedia editors indicate that it should be. It will be interesting to see what the Wikipedia community has to say about this, and similar, images. Truthanado (talk) 01:35, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

 * No FOP in USA. Stefan2 (talk) 01:23, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * If you could explain what FOP stands for, perhaps I could comment more clearly. This is a picture of a sign produced by the local village government that I personally took. It exists on public property and belongs to no one individual. It is used only to represent the village, and is used nowhere else. Its use damages no one. In many respects, it is the same as a picture of the Washington Monument, New York City Skyline or Eiffel Tower, images of which exist on Wikipedia and apparently comply with copyright rules. I respectfully request that it not be deleted, and that it only be deleted if a consensus of Wikipedia editors deem that it is in violation of copyright. Truthanado (talk) 22:19, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Having further read Freedom of panorama (FOP) ...
 * If this is considered a building, it is "copyrighted and, therefore, covered by the FOP exemption only if .. visible from a public place", which it is (it's on public property, visible from a public highway), therefore no copyright violation
 * If this is not considered a building, "such works do not have a copyright and therefore may be photographed freely, whether or not from a public place", therefore no copyright violation
 * This is not artwork (it's a common sign), so the copyright rules do not apply, therefore no copyright violation
 * Truthanado (talk) 22:32, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * First, this is obviously not a building. Secondly, the illustration on the sign is an artwork. Therefore, copyright violation. The rest of the sign is presumably ineligible for copyright (so copyright rules don't apply to those parts of the sign). --Stefan2 (talk) 20:14, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This is a structure on public property that is easily seen from public property. Furthermore, it is a work of the local village government, which is created and funded by the general public, and therefore this sign effectively belongs to the public. How can there by copyright violation? Who would be damaged by someone copying it, if only to demonstrate the village, and not for any monetary gain? Can we please apply some common sense. It will be interesting to see what the Wikipedia community has to say about this and similar images. Truthanado (talk) 01:28, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * You are confusing things here. There is a law which says that works made by the United States federal government are in the public domain in the United States, see PD-USGov. There are similar rules in California and Florida, see PD-CAGov and PD-FLGov. However, works made by local governments in any other state are protected by copyright, and so the use of those works is regulated by the local governments. Lots of similar images are deleted from Wikipedia all of the time. --Stefan2 (talk) 17:41, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

 * No FOP in USA. Stefan2 (talk) 01:23, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * If you could explain what FOP stands for, perhaps I could comment more clearly. This is a picture of a sign produced by the local town government that I personally took. It exists on public property and belongs to no one individual. It is used only to represent the town, and is used nowhere else. Its use damages no one. In many respects, it is the same as a picture of the Washington Monument, New York City Skyline or Eiffel Tower, images of which exist on Wikipedia and apparently comply with copyright rules. I respectfully request that it not be deleted, and that it only be deleted if a consensus of Wikipedia editors deem that it is in violation of copyright. Truthanado (talk) 22:19, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

The rest of the sign and the other signs are presumably ineligible for copyright (so copyright rules don't apply to the rest of the stuff on the image). --Stefan2 (talk) 20:16, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Using the description immediately above, if we block out the circle on the left that contains an image of a tree (purportedly the artwork referred to), then the opinion would be that the image would not be in violation of copyright. Is that correct? If so, that makes no sense. It will be interesting to see what the Wikipedia community has to say. Truthanado (talk) 01:20, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

 * It is claimed that this is a non-US publicity photo for a US film and that the photo was in the public domain in the source country and that it was published without US formalities (PD-URAA). However, there is no evidence for these claims. Why would a publicity photo for a US film be made outside the US? Also no evidence that it was published without US formalities.

Amy Smejkal Holly: Looks great!! I was told that my uncle ( 2nd graduating class of stroman) came up with the "s" symbol for stroman. He was good friends with the 1st graduating classes president and she said he came up with it. I will have to get her name from my mom, and possibly contact info for you, if you want it.

 * A "redesigned" version of a high school logo, with the school district claimed as the original author. The source and licensing information do not seem to match up. Is this a derivative work? Is it a faithful reproduction of the original, or something completely new? No evidence that Victoria Independent School District has released the logos of the schools under its authority into the public domain, either.  Super Mario  Man  03:30, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
