This media file has been nominated for deletion since 10 July 2024. To discuss it, please visit
the nomination page.
Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed. Reason for the nomination: This image is the work of Jeff Sisson, who contributed it to the US National Weather Service website sometime prior to 19 September 2015. Its presence here on the Commons relies on the fact that for some years now, the NWS makes release into the public domain a condition of such submissions.
However, we have no evidence for whether or not the same terms applied at the time Sisson made his submission, due to uncertainty around the date he did that, and also the date when those terms first came into effect. You can find the current terms of submission here, and the earliest date I've been able to verify that they existed is in the history of the template right here on the Commons. Dated 13 May 2009, it predates the earliest Internet Archive capture by over six years, and confirms the crucial part of the wording precisely. Although we don't know when Sisson contributed his photo, he also submitted a written recollection of the tornado whose aftermath is depicted in it. The NWS site hosts it here, unfortunately without a date. It's published amid other written accounts of the event that were submitted in 2008, but the submissions are not in chronological order and the earliest one is from 2006. (We also don't know that Sisson's photo and his written account were submitted at the same time). This discussion started over on English Wikipedia, where User:WeatherWriter was kindly able to cite numerous previous deletion discussions here on the Commons about files using the {{PD-NWS}} tag. I've reviewed those, but none of them seem to have addressed the specific question I'm raising here about what evidence we have for the terms under which an image was contributed. Some of the images under discussion in those might also have been made prior to 13 May 2009, but there seems to have been an assumption that the terms then were the same as the terms now, without anyone actually checking if this was the case. Finally, note that there are a few hundred other images that potentially fall into this same gap where they were submitted to the NWS under terms that we do not now know. | |||
