 * The site the above caution is drawn from is sos.wa.gov, the file is taken from a different site, digitalarchives.wa.gov which has the following unambiguous release:
 * "Q: What are the copyright restrictions on using photographs from the Digital Archives website? A: Unless specifically stated, images from our photo collections are copyright-:::free,as are the rest of our images and audio. We only ask that the Washington State Archives, Digital Archives be included in the citation as the source for these images." 
 * Please note that above editor has vandalized the file description originally provided during upload to add information not contained in the source (e.g. the phrase "current owner" which does not appear anywhere on the source page) and create the appearance of non-public domain image (see: ). Also note that editor has a history of aberrant/bizarre behavior with respect to images, including claiming he's a CIA agent here to enforce copyright (see:), as well as a more recent discussion involving The Bushranger, StanTheMan87, etc., and this is his M.O. of editor harassment. There is a long precedent on WP of allowing Wash. Digital Archives images and I can provide a list of hundreds of WA Digital Archives images that have been transferred to the commons, on request. I'm hoping this level of effort will not be necessary and this can be summarily dealt with as disruptive account spam. DocumentError (talk) 17:08, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Delete - A states "Unless specifically stated". If you click on "Privacy Policy" at the bottom of digitalarchives.wa.gov you'll come to sos.wa.gov. This means both links are to the same source (a state government).--Krzyhorse22 (talk) 03:00, 23 September 2014 (UTC) Keep - In ref to above, the files in question do not specifically state. Further, there is no statutory release of government images in Washington, as such there is no common policy. The policy of the State Archives is a blanket release - unless specifically stated - of archival images. The central secretariat of the SoS has a different digital rights management policy as their website contains non-archival images. This is why there are two different policies. To reviewers: again, please note, this is a chronic, single-purpose, disruptive account. DocumentError (talk) 06:03, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Nominating such image is not disruptive. I suggest that you stop ranting about me everywhere, this is not the place for that, focus on the license issue.--Krzyhorse22 (talk) 06:37, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * There is no license issue. You vandalized the permissions description, as noted above. DocumentError (talk) 06:41, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * No I didn't. You're falsely accusing me.--Krzyhorse22 (talk) 06:50, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh lord. The diff is above. DocumentError (talk) 08:08, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Note to reviewers, Krzyhorse22 is possibly the most cunning internet troll ever to have infiltrated Wikipedia. Proceed with the utmost caution, and take it from someone who has wasted hours of valuable life in combating this blatant single purpose account, ,,.
