  I believe this image may be plagiarized. I am taking a Human Physiology course at Dixie State College in St. George, UT and a power point handout from my professor (Patti Allen, DVM) has this specific image in a smaller scale and lower resolution with "Copyright 2009 Pearson Education, Inc." listed on the bottom of the slide. 209.33.216.162 ( talk) 06:28, 21 January 2012 (UTC) reply

• Can you ask your professor to identify exactly which published work the drawing comes from? That will help us to determine for sure whether this is a copyright violation. The original image was uploaded here in 2007, so it's a curious case. Thanks! Franamax ( talk) 02:28, 22 January 2012 (UTC) reply

• I did a TinEye search for this image out of curiosity and only saw it on Wikipedia mirrors and one site from a professor (medbio.info) that did not contain any copyright or source information. Does anyone object to this being archived until more information is received from User:209.33.216.162 or his/her professor? (Not a clear-cut violation.) — madman 15:19, 23 January 2012 (UTC) reply

• Can you post the link to the site? We can post it at the image talk page at Commons in case the real owner wishes to follow up. I've emailed the professor mentioned above directly and asked for a scan. No objection to closing this report, for now at least. Franamax ( talk) 19:44, 23 January 2012 (UTC) reply

You, Me, and Energy. Thanks! — madman 04:22, 24 January 2012 (UTC) reply

I just (finally) noticed the image is licensed as PD, so that page is actually fine (I think). Franamax ( talk) 21:19, 24 January 2012 (UTC) reply

• No copyright concern. Material PD or appropriately licensed for use. The professor has explained that the copyright notice is boilerplate from the presentation material and not applicable to the image, and asked for advice on how to properly attribute. I suggested "Public Domain from Wikimedia Commons", which I think clears all this up. Franamax ( talk) 21:14, 24 January 2012 (UTC) reply
