File:Clippy wikipedia parody.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Herostratus (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).

Fails WP:NFCC#3 and WP:NFCC#8: we don't need to see a parody to understand that Clippit parodies exist, there is already a picture of Clippit in the Office Assistant article, and a parody could reasonably be made that has freely-licensed text that could either be used as text or made into a non-free derivative work. RJaguar3 | u | t 01:42, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Yeah if the point being made was just "parodies exist" then text would do. But the point being made is "observe, the parodies look like this". For "looks like this" type exposition images are useful. Not clear your point re "could be made into a non-free derivative work" since that's what I did. It's legally OK as fair use parody I assume. Obviously a free version isn't available and won't be for many decades or probably this century I guess so it's fair use or nothing here.

Your point that it's fair use that's exceeds our remit... dunno, it's debatable I guess. "Presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic"... the section its used in titled "Criticism and parodies" and I guess an example might be considered useful. "Minimal usage"... dunno, it's used once and in that article, don't see how it could be more minimal without disappearing... can't really make it too much smaller or fuzz up the resolution much more without the text becoming illegible for people without pretty good vision. Maybe though. Not really up to date on how these policies are applied on the ground though. Herostratus (talk) 03:00, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It didn't seem clear to me from looking at the file description page that you freely licensed the text you wrote. If the text is freely-licensed, then it serves as an acceptable substitute for the derivative-work image, and it could be displayed in the margin where the image is currently located. RJaguar3 | u | t 12:52, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, OK. The problem is, there isn't really a good way to indicate (in our system) "Here is a work, some of which is taken from copyrighted material (but for which I am claiming fair use) and some of which is my own work (which I donate under a free license)". The actual file is my original work (made in PC Paint), but it's not really transformative original artistic work (in the sense that, say, Andy Warhol's painting of Campbell's Soup cans was, which I assume gave Warhol copyright of the painting and prevented the Campbell's Soup Company from contesting that). I suppose I could claimed that and maybe that'd fly or maybe not, I don't know, and since I don't know I didn't claim it as entirely my own work. I assume that copyright for a work devolves to the most restrictive status. Anyway, there's no easy way to express this in the license. Herostratus (talk) 15:32, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete The violation of WP:NFCC here is serious. This policy makes it a point that copyright-protected non-free intellectual properties of others must never be used (even under fair use) to make a point that can be made with words alone or with freely licensed material.

• Delete - Beyond the points made, I dislike the idea of encouraging/frustrating/etc. vandalism. I can't say (much less prove) that the vandalism to the article was provoked by that Clippy supporting vandalism, but I'd find it much more tasteful if the image was just about regular or good faith editing. I also don't understand the dating site thing... how is that relevant or funny? This may not be a strong enough standalone reason to delete it, but it certainly doesn't help its case.moluɐɯ 14:51, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File:Westminster Pollution History.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by GrindtXX (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).

Fails WP:NFCC#1 and WP:NFCC#8. The statement in the NFUR that "All modern grey literature is likely to be in copyright" is probably false; at the very least, an editor-made mockup of gray literature could be created, or an author of gray literature could be contacted to freely license their work.

Photo of minors, and it's removal would not adversely affect the article in which it appears. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:35, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Do minors enjoy some protection adults do not when it comes to being photographed? CombatWombat42 (talk) 18:39, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Minors may not appear on pornographic pictures. This is not relevant here, though. I am not aware of any other protections for photos of minors. --Stefan2 (talk) 18:55, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry I didn't state the blatantly obvious. I was trying to figure out why User:Sfan00 IMG even mentioned that they were minors. CombatWombat42 (talk) 21:36, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I was referring it here because I think Wikipedia needs to be more pro-active about not using pictures of kids unless it really needs to.

I appreciate there is no formal guideline on this at present, but my understanding was that were an image of minors/children could be removed from an article, without affecting the article content, or where the image wasn't directly mentioned in the article, the image should be removed. If the image has OTRS confirming model releases it would be a different issue. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 23:21, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have never heard of such a policy, or of any problems caused by not having such a policy. Where did you get this "understanding" you speak of? CombatWombat42 (talk) 23:40, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't formal policy as such, but a previous admin advised (can't recall who.), If there is no policy reason for this to be deleted, then

If file can be kept (no deletion), then anyone may kindly help by giving it necessary tags/temp. My intention to have it in the article(s) is to illustrate pictorial high profile evidence. However, it is a copyright concern itself (my uploading bears a general permission and email which I have already forwarded, is a prove of implied action). Now admin may decide per EN:WP norms & policy. Thanks Nannadeem (talk) 15:03, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
