this image is quite clearly a promotional photo for the helicopter company, but the uploader released it under the GDFL. Gump Stump (talk) 00:30, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Image is a smaller version of the second picture on this page (direct link) No evidence of GFDL permission. Radiant chains (talk) 08:00, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Essentially no sourcing information, but it could be correct. I just declined an F4 on this because that's for when an article has no source or truly, amazingly bad source information. "Self-made" is used quite a bit as a source, although I have a feeling that this image might not actually be self-made based on quality and positioning. There's very little other information to help determine this on the image page. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 02:02, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Self-made is a perfectly reasonable source if the image was indeed self-made. I don't see any reason to assume bad faith here. IronGargoyle (talk) 03:39, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's a perfectly reasonable source; I mainly brought it here because User:Martin H. had tagged it as lacking a source even though it said "self made". I'm kind of neutral on this. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 11:59, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This image looks a little suspicious- it may be a scan, and certianly looks posed. Further, what sort of author is "fbk:)"- Facebook? Some clarification from the author here would be nice. Assuming good faith is not the same as assuming everything is fine. J Milburn (talk) 18:43, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The uploader is an established user with no history of copyright violations. The username matches the subject, and fbk could very well suggest his or her Facebook. IronGargoyle (talk) 23:05, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The image is indeed on the Facebook group "Elie Mitri fans", uploaded there by "Karl Salame". I believe it to be a magazine scan, and I believe "Elie plus" to have uploaded an image he found and liked on the Facebook page. He has not responded to questions on his talkpage about the image, though he has edited since. – Quadell ^(talk) 15:13, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. per Quadell. The fact that this was traced to a facebook group, and not something from the subject himself makes the doubts too great. IronGargoyle (talk) 20:48, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File:Dubai Montage.png

Compilation of images, at least one of which was taken from the sky. I doubt that they were all user created. For a montage such as this, the creator needs to specify the source of each image. J Milburn (talk) 18:38, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reply. All images are from various wikipedia languages and are copyright free. I just made a montage to go on the Dubai article. I am an administrator on the Welsh (cy) wikipedia and do have a knowledge of the rules and regulations of wikipedia. Rhyshuw1 (talk) 18:42, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing seems to have been adequately dealt with. IronGargoyle (talk) 22:59, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing is fine, but the image combines GFDL and CC-BY-SA-2.0 images, which are not compatible licenses. Delete. Stifle (talk) 13:06, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. Their combination does not create a transformative derivative work. It is a simple arrangement of individual images. The individual images within this file can be licensed with incompatible licenses, because they are the works that are being copyrighted--not the overall file. IronGargoyle (talk) 14:31, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The discussion is moot here because the image is on Commons. IronGargoyle (talk) 01:16, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File:Ussrhockeyjersey.png

Image taken from another website, I do not think the source website releases its material into the public domain. J Milburn (talk) 19:09, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RE

This design of the jersey belongs to the Soviet govt. As far as i understand the web-site i've listed doesn't own the rights for this jersey. I've listed this web-site as an example. Andreyx109 (talk) 21:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No but they own the rights for the picture of the jersey. Its called a derivative work. -Djsasso (talk) 03:53, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I do understand it, the problem is that this photo is all over the Russian internet, and who has the rights for the picture is uknown, the original picture was different, the one i've uploaded is re-edited by me. How we can go about it? Is there anything we can do to leave this picture? Andreyx109 (talk) 17:13, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I thought Soviet government-produced works were always public domain, similar to US government-produced works. If so, this is public domain: it's simply a faithful reproduction of the original, meaning that there's no originality in the creation of the photo itself. Consequently, the only question of copyright is the original status of the jersey. I'll reserve judgement on this because I'm not certain about Soviet government-produced works.

Sourced to another website. I do not think the other website releases its material into the public domain. J Milburn (talk) 19:10, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This one must be deleted as was uploaded by mistake. Andreyx109 (talk) 21:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
