• This was uploaded by a new user, JacobiteMacLaren (talk · contribs), who has uploaded 13 images so far - 11 of which are clear copyright violations. There's no reason to think this photo, and one other one he has uploaded, aren't ripped off some website. I just can't find which website it is taken from. The photo is that of a kirk at Balquidder, which is a well documented site. We've actually got a picture of it on the Commons already (and many more legit free ones can be found at Geograph Britain and Ireland). Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 10:03, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a British crown copyright, and it is not yet 50 years old. The uploader also claims that this is available under the Open Government Licence, but provides no evidence of this claim.

File:Swargaseema IFF.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs).

• Tagged ((PD-India)), because it is an advertisement from 1947 and is therefore more than 60 years old. But it might not be in the public domain in the United States. The notification in the ((PD-India)) tag says, "a non-simple image can only be in the public domain in the U.S.: if it entered the public domain in India prior to 1996 (i.e., the author died before 1941 for most works or it was published prior to 1941 for photographs - see Wikipedia:Non-U.S. copyrights), or when, after that date, its copyright term expires in accordance with U.S. law." If the copyright term in India is 60 years, then this advertisement did not enter the public domain in India until 2007 (i.e., after 1996), so it would appear not to be in the public domain in the United States. —Bkell (talk) 19:51, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File:2007 Certegy data breach letter.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs).

• Probable copyvio Secret ^account 23:24, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is an obvious copyright violation. The same file was deleted on Commons by myself. Russavia 13:17, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

• I find the copyvio claim to be less than obvious. The the comment on the file read "I took this scan and I give full permission to use the image anywhere. I originally distributed it to a few friends by e-mail in 2007 when it happened. It's historically significant and I've been meaning to add it to the Certegy article for years". If the claim is that the sender of the letter is the copyright holder (the letter has no indication of this), then this would seem to fall under fair use provisions - is that the claim? Can someone please elaborate? Delicious carbuncle (talk) 18:39, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "I took this scan" suggests that the uploader simply scanned the document. It seems that the image was published outside Wikipedia before it was uploaded here, so if the uploader wrote the text, he would have to send evidence of this to OTRS per the instructions at Commons:COM:OTRS. The image violates WP:NFCC#3b in that the image reproduces the entire document (every single word except for personal information such as a reference number). In order to satisfy WP:NFCC#3b, you would have to reduce the image by removing several of the words. Also, it is not used in the article namespace, so it violates WP:NFCC#7, and it is used outside the article namespace, so it violates WP:NFCC#9. Thus, fair use is no option. --Stefan2 (talk) 00:13, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File:Lutfi al-Haffar.jpeg (delete | talk | history | logs).

• This is a portrait of Lutfi al-Haffar, who died in 1968. It is tagged with ((PD-Syria)), but the file description page gives no information about the date or photographer, so there is no evidence that this photo was indeed first published in Syria. If it can be established that this photo was first published in Syria in or before 1993, then it appears the photo is in the public domain in the United States too. However, at the moment we do not have evidence that these criteria are met. —Bkell (talk) 23:51, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
