  • From your upload it says "PhD thesis of Steven Suomi", so unless he is sourcing the image to someone else (in which case they would hold the copyright), he owns the copyright to the image. It does not matter about who owned the device or research, since it is the creator of the photograph that matters. Also, policy makes no distinction between current financial value, otherwise we would have no problem with NC based images since our use would be non-commercial. Finally, the moral objectionability of the images is also not relevant if we cannot find the actual source they were extracted from or prove no free images existed (which is highly unlikely in this case). In any event, I have found Dr. Suomi's email and asked him to confirm if the image was in his thesis and who owns the original image. MBisanz talk 16:16, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • But we are allowed to claim fair use when the image is of historical importance (which is where the moral issue comes in, because that is why the experiment became famous), and all the more so when it has no monetary value that our use of it would affect. Your argument was that its use violated someone's financial interests, but I don't see how that can be the case. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 21:25, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've added citations to the image page for what I believe are the two most likely papers this originated in, given the placement of the image on the source I took it from, and I've written to the website to ask if they know which one it was. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 22:24, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, it can't be the J Comp Physiol Psychol article as I just pulled up the PDF of it and the image isn't anywhere in the entire article. Still trying to track down the other one. MBisanz talk 22:46, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Okay, I've been sent the original publication, which I've added to the image page. It was Harlow, H.F. 1974. "Induction and alleviation of depressive states in monkeys," pp. 197-208 in Ethology and psychiatry (N. F. White, ed). Toronto, Canada: University of Toronto Press. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 16:05, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
What a bizarre idea. The image of the baby monkey curled into a foetal position at the bottom of the metal box is clearly there, with a figure number. Perhaps he forgot about it. And I doubt that academics hand copyright of their original experiment results over. But regardless, the point with fair use is simply to know who the copyright holder/first publisher is, and now we do. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 18:09, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm just noting that Dr. Suomi apparently said in an e-mail that the figure was not in his thesis. That's what he reportedly said. And I can say from personal experience that the way scientific publications work, the authors always assign copyright rights to the publisher. Unless you are a government employee or some other special exception, you always have to sign a copyright assignment to the publisher of an academic journal, while retaining intellectual rights, or they won't publish the study. That usually happens with the first report of the finding, in a peer-reviewed journal, before anything like a book is contemplated. Just fyi. --Tryptofish (talk) 18:29, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
To further settle this I sent in and had filed the email from Dr. Suomi to OTRS at [1] and found a copy of the Ethology and psychiatry publication in an archives in Maryland that should arrive later this week, at which point I can then scan it in and email it to OTRS for further confirmation. MBisanz talk 18:47, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Although seresin clearly understands the applicable policy better than I do, I do wish to point out one issue. With respect to NFCC2, it is not clear that Suomi is, in fact, the copyright holder, and there may be a commercial publisher with a financial interest (Univ. Toronto Press). --Tryptofish (talk) 22:13, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedy close as wrong forum after a day's run, not a single person is suggesting delete, even the nominator. It is blatantly obvious that we will retain the image for use on at least some articles. The argument about which articles has already been hotly debated at other forums, and this forum is not the proper forum to be debating that now. The points on whether it is copyrightable or not are not appropriate for FfD. --Hammersoft (talk) 22:02, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This one is a bit of an odd request for deletion as I do not expect it to succeed and, in fact I am arguing for it to be kept, but this seems to be the best place for it to receive appropriate wider feedback. — BQZip01 — talk 15:34, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
