Hmm. This seems a bit ridiculous to me but not my expertise. There is now a completed copy of this new(ish) rational template. The images have been published outside Wikipedia in that the charity has produced, printed and distributed a large number of copies of this cover. That's called publication. Personally (as the charity's CEO) I don't mind releasing the CD cover under a free licence except that it contains a non-free licenced logo (and in the case of the 2007 version it contains the Wikipedia logo as well) and I am not sure how to licence it without giving someone the opportunity to recover the logo and call it derivative. --BozMo talk 06:41, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That is a misunderstanding, simply. SOS Children is an independent charity which does not work for the Wikipedia Foundation or anyone else. The first CD was SOS Children publishing the content on the basis of use under the licence. The 2007 edition was more of a joint WMF and SOS effort (with most of the work done on site rather than off site, WMF agreeing to the brand use, and indeed WMF promoting the disk to others). --BozMo talk 11:58, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But still: "From the site: "reproduction autorisée en citant la source" (reproduction authorized by quoting the source)". Funkynusayri 19:11, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A reproduce-only authorization makes the image non-free. Thus, it can only be used in accordance to our non-free content criteria, and I'm affraid it doesn't fulfill at least item #8. Anyway, that website doesn't seems like the image's copyright holder, and the authorization is moot. --Abu badali (talk) 22:27, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Let me put it another way: many sources for promotional images allow you to reproduce the image in full, but prohibit modification. All free licenses must allow modification. – Quadell (talk) (random) 22:35, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Having good faith is one thing, closing one's eyes to reality is another. Taqizadeh was for 70 years on the political stage of Iran; he was for numerous times an elected representative to Iran's parliament (whether this parliament functioned properly is not relevant here). In other words, he was one of the most visible men in the country during his lifetime. Is it conceivable that such a man existed just in people's imagination, or else people would recognize him if they saw him on the street? Is it conceivable that Taqizadeh's photographs were released, say, some 10 years (if not longer) after his death? If so, for what purpose? That people would at long last see who had been the President of Iran's senate? We could as well believe in fairies. Please just look at the amount of text produced hereabove. Why this waste of time and energy? Just to show our good faith in Abu Badali's judgement? What has Abu Badali done to deserve this good faith? Thank you very much, I don't need your version of good faith. Incidentally, it is common practice that one signs one's messages on these pages. --BF 18:02, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Is the source verifiable? The Cleveland Free Times article cited shows only a copyrighted book cover. Videmus Omnia Talk 22:14, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • So we have established the image has appeared on a book cover. What further verification do you need? Where else would a school photo of a lost child come from except her parents or law enforcement? -Nard 22:25, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'm sorry, but we don't assume the source of a copyrighted image. It needs to be verifiable per policy. Has anyone tried to contact the book's author (or the police, or the FBI, or the book publisher)? (As a clarification - it may have been the parent's intention to release the image for use in the search, but they may have a problem with its use in Wikipedia. We just don't know without a verifiable source/copyright.) Videmus Omnia Talk 22:29, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
          • The book's author seems to be the person who uploaded the image, though of course that would have to be verified. ElinorD (talk) 22:45, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        • The uploader, User:JamesRenner claims in the image description it's used with permission. He's the author of a published article on the subject, which goes into detail about this photo[2]. Is that good enough? I for one believe the assertion of permission. -Nard 22:36, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
          • Nice conflict of interest there. Videmus Omnia Talk 22:52, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
            • Perhaps I can urge a sensible approach. You asked N to verify the competence of the source, which he did, the conflict of interest has no bearing here. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 03:16, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Reply: Asking for a free licence for this is inappropriate. GFDL is important for pictures that are to be reused for other articles - and in this case, it is of a dead girl, and her picture is there for historical reasons, and it is inappropriate for it to be put on other articles, unless they are relevant to her murder GFDL release for a picture of a murdered little girl isn't appropriate. She shouldn't be used for other articles (which is what GFDL is for). Not appropriate. BlueSapphires 15:22, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment about AP If AP licenced it, it would be for their use only, not for global ownership. Renner would know this as it is on his book. By the way, since VO is alleging that the girl isn't notable, then presuming her picture is owned by AP (probably not - possibly allowed for print with permission) is contradicting the arguement for article deletion.
  • ""Amy's 5th Grade School photo, released by Bay Village Police and FBI in 1989. Used with permission. Appeared on the cover of the Cleveland Free Times October 17, 2006."; "It is also part of the investigatory file, which is public record in the state of Ohio, and does not need permission to publish. Beyond that, however, her only surviving parent has granted me permission to publish this photo." The source, prior publication, and parental permission are all verified. Since this photo is part of public record, the parents did not sell the copyright to AP. Since James Renner published this photo on the front cover of his book, I think it is foolish to assume that he is not aware of its copyright status. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 06:02, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Again, what gives you the idea that AP licenced it? Do you have proof of this? And if you do, do you have proof that it the own full copyrights? Renner would know. Why not listen to him. BlueSapphires 15:22, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Why wouldn't the AP have licensed it? If they didn't, that means they're just using it under fair use without the permission of the copyright holder, and raking in fees from news outlets that want to use the photo. I never said that they own the rights, I said they probably licensed the rights (i.e., paid money or obtained permission from the copyright holder). Renner may be the author of the book, but there's nothing to say that he knows anything about copyrights. howcheng {chat} 16:30, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nonetheless, Renner is aware of the licensing details and copyright status of this photograph, which appear to be the subject of this dispute. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 09:02, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
GFDL is a preference, not a requriement for Wikipedia - This deletion is being carried out as if it were a requirement that all pictures on Wikipedia be GDFL, and that is not true. Per Wikipedia:Uploading Images, Fair use images are fine on Wikipedia - but they cannot be uploaded to the commons. Asking Amy's parents to release this to GDFL isn't appropriate, and since it is not necessary, then why not let it go? I was going to write them myself, to counter what I feel is overly critical image personnel - but it isn't right to ask her parents to release it to GFDL. If they do that, it could wind up used for any strange thing, and why should they give up the full right to the picture, when it isn't necessary? More importantly, why is Videmus Omnia so concerned that this be GFDL? So he can put it in the Wikimedia Commons? (that is the difference between free or fair use vs. GFDL. If that's the approach, then Wikipedia is going to lose a lot of good pictures, that it could have the right to.
Enhancement of article - Does the picture explain anything about the article? Yes, as much as having a picture of any bio subject does. If you require that every picture about a bio person be necessary and enhancing of the bio, then no bio would have a picture. What I see here is a strict usage of rules, to forward a deletion that isn't necessary at all.
Consensus What I see is image-focused people here driving this deletion, and everyone else who makes comments being dismissed. Do image people have more rights to decide what is relevant or such than others? This seems to contrave the Wikipedia community concept notion.BlueSapphires 15:31, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: If this feels you are running the gantlet here, then good. Because of Wikipedia's free content goals, it's up to the uploader and/or image supporters to make a convincing case as to why a non-free image should be allowed to stay. We are trying to use as little non-free content as possible, keeping only that which is necessary. Oh, and keep only if the copyright holder can be accurately determined. howcheng {chat} 16:30, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Image deleted. Per Wikipedia's overly restrictive non-free content policy #10a, since the copyright owner cannot be properly attributed, the image must be deleted. Since this is Amy's 5th grade class picture, the copyright holder would be the studio that photographed the image and not the police or the parents. -Nv8200p talk 01:10, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

'Comment The original image may be in the PD, but does this extend to the digitisation of the image undertaken by the museum? 86.12.249.63 19:53, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Bridgeman v Corel, my friend. -Nard 19:55, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, digitalizations do not create a new copyright. If you have reliable source for the information that this information was first published before 1923 (maybe the museum website itself), then use this source information on the image description page and forget about the bogus museum copyright claim. You can even crop the copyright statement from the photo. --Abu badali (talk) 20:09, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The Seattle Times link does not establish that this image was published before 1923, which I believe is the key issue here. -- Patleahy 21:41, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What if the "Webster and Stevens" collection was donated to the museum as never-printed negatives? --Abu badali (talk) 22:33, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If the first publication was after 2003, then the image is legally "unpublished", and wouldn't be a problem (since it's anonymous and created before 1909). It could be copyrighted if the museum first published the image between 1978 and 2003. Again, unlikely (in my opinion). – Quadell (talk) (random) 22:38, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Why anonymous? --Abu badali (talk) 22:46, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Because (if this were the case) the image would have been first published by a party that did not create the image and who did not name the creator upon publication. – Quadell (talk) (random) 22:50, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
But the party did named the creators, didn't they? The museum asserts that the images were created by "Webster and Stevens". --Abu badali (talk) 23:16, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oops! My mistake. Not anonymous. I wonder who Webster and Stevens were. . . – Quadell (talk) (random) 20:31, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
