Unencyclopedic photo being used under a claim of fair use. The giant watermark renders the image inappropriate for use here. B ( talk) 01:35, 17 April 2013 (UTC) reply

is encyclopedic. i see that when you said: "For someone who died 30 years ago and was not somewhere that a public domain photo would be likely (US federal government, college pre-1978, etc), fine, have at it." that you were mistaken; would you care to refactor your remarks? WP:WATERMARK: "Free images should not be watermarked": tag it, don't delete it. maybe i'll drop a line to the catalians; they'll be amused.

Did you clean the image or did you find it from a different source? If the latter, could you note that source, please? -- B ( talk) 05:28, 17 April 2013 (UTC) reply

And actually, upon further review, the source given credits the image to http://www.enciclopedia.cat/enciclop%C3%A8dies/gran-enciclop%C3%A8dia-catalana/EC-GEC-0000041.xml?s.q=Ramon+d%27Abadal#.UW4zKMpvD-4. (If that link is temporary, please go to http://www.enciclopedia.cat/ and search for "Ramon d'Abadal", then click the second link.) This site credits "© Fototeca.cat". I don't read Catalan, but from using Google translate on http://www.fototeca.com/ftp/fototeca/condicio.htm, it looks like this website is a commercial content provider that is in the business of selling licenses to these photos. In other words, it's forbidden by WP:CSD#F7 and WP:NFC#UUI #7. -- B ( talk) 05:38, 17 April 2013 (UTC) reply

I can't see how it matters as the image is the same whether it's gotten from hither or yon. That said, I found another copy rather than clean the existing, and the specific web site I got it from was here. –  JBarta ( talk) 05:40, 17 April 2013 (UTC) reply

I see you're putting in a lot of effort to show that this particular file is not allowed. I wonder if you are willing to put an equal amount of effort into finding an image that is. –  JBarta ( talk) 05:43, 17 April 2013 (UTC) reply

Wikipedia respects copyright - we don't ignore it. There is no fair use defense for using a photo from a commercial content provider (unless you are doing so to comment on the photo itself). Think about it - you're a professional photographer. News organizations pay you for your photographs. If "fair use" were a legitimate defense, then no news organization would ever pay you - they would just claim "fair use". You would have no income. -- B ( talk) 12:31, 17 April 2013 (UTC) reply

Anyone could spend all day finding reasons to delete stuff if that's how they wish to spend their time here. There's really no glory or great challenge to that at all. It's a whole lot more useful and satisfying to build than to go around randomly with a wrecking ball... no matter how justified you feel you are in doing so. As I said earlier, if you spent as much effort trying to get something to work as effort spent saying it won't work... then that would be nice. Then again, in the time I spent futilely arguing with you, I could have done something useful instead. –  JBarta ( talk) 16:30, 17 April 2013 (UTC) reply

Stuff that was uploaded in violation of our policies needs to be deleted. If you'd like a website where you can upload anything and everything without regard to copyright, then you have the rest of the internet available for that. You're suggesting that copyright violations should simply be ignored and that is not and never has been the attitude of Wikipedia. -- B ( talk) 17:25, 17 April 2013 (UTC) reply

I'm suggesting some discretion and reasonable judgement be applied. Just as not every driver is ticketed for exceeding the speed limit, not every minor infraction here needs to be deleted. Severe application of rules is counter-productive. If your goal is to get deleted as much material as you can for any reason you can muster, you'll find yourself quite busy... but not very useful. –  JBarta ( talk) 18:39, 17 April 2013 (UTC) reply

I did exercise reasonable discretion and judgement. Slowking4 uploaded a whole slew of fair use images - working through categories of dead people in alphabetical order and blindly uploading photos he found from googling at a rate of 5 minutes or so each. I did not delete all of them or nominate all of them for deletion. Rather, I reviewed each one and only nominated the most egregious cases. -- B ( talk) 18:46, 17 April 2013 (UTC) reply

Well that's fair enough I guess. You might as well comb through my uploads too... I've added quite a few images of dead people without too close a look at where they originated. If you're hot after stuff to delete, I'm sure you'll find a few egregious cases there as well. Happy trails... –  JBarta ( talk) 18:52, 17 April 2013 (UTC) reply

Aside from the specific problem of the added flag being a 50-star US flag while the portrait was taken in 1957 (US flag had 48 stars in 1957), there is the general problem of such materially altered images being a little too close to original research. –  JBarta ( talk) 02:47, 17 April 2013 (UTC) reply

I'm not convinced that this really is irreplaceable. According to Commons:Template:PD-Egypt, non-original Egyptian photos published during the lifetime of this person, as well as non-original Egyptian photos published within 10 years after his death, entered the public domain in Egypt before the URAA date. I would assume that Egyptian sources usually didn't bother about US copyright formalities, so more or less everything published in Egypt during that time should be in the public domain in the United States. I would be very surprised if there are no published photos of him, since the article suggests that he was quite famous.

The source is listed as http://www.marefa.org/index.php/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B6%D9%8A%D9%81_%D8%A3%D8%AD%D9%85%D8%AF?uselang=en which uses the image http://www.marefa.org/index.php/%D9%85%D9%84%D9%81:%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B6%D9%8A%D9%81_%D8%A7%D8%AD%D9%85%D8%AF.jpg?uselang=en and there's a duplicate at http://www.marefa.org/index.php/%D9%85%D9%84%D9%81:60050089815608332.jpg?uselang=en and those pages don't tell whether this is a published photo or not.

Photo of a famous American "evangelist" who died in 1970 being used under a claim of fair use. He appeared frequently in public in America and we have reasonable expectation that public domain photos of him exist. You could even contact the successor to his ministry - http://www.miraclevalleyarizona.com/ - and ask if they can provide us with a public domain photo (I would bet that church bulletins were published without copyright notices all the time) or one that they hold the copyright to and would be willing to provide under a free license. But by bulk uploading fair use photos with no effort to find a free one, you eliminate any chance of finding a free photo. B ( talk) 12:45, 17 April 2013 (UTC) reply

Other newspapers, including newspapers from other years, mention a programme with the same name, so I would assume that this was something broadcast once a week or something. A search for "A A Allen" at http://cocatalog.loc.gov/ returns no hits, so I would assume that all programmes in this TV series are {{ PD-US-not renewed}}. I would assume that you can find old TV programmes in some archive somewhere in which case you could take a screenshot from one of those TV programmes.

this chain of "I would assume"s is so long, it's farcical. go to the website, and replace with free, until then keep. Slowking4^{Farmbrough's revenge}⇔ †@1₭ 00:24, 24 April 2013 (UTC) reply

It's absurd to think that a free photo does not exist of a person who was a prolific public figure in the United States pre-1978. Defunct newspapers before 1963 often did not get their copyrights renewed. Church bulletins almost never have copyright notices. This is the very definition of replaceable. We have a reasonable expectation that someone willing to go to do some legwork in a library near him would easily be able to find public domain photos. I did a copyright renewal search for his name and the names of some of his books that were published before 1963. I didn't find any of them. If any of them have his photo on the book jacket, then it's public domain. PD Not renewed is through 1963, inclusive, right? Well, here is a November 1963 magazine with A. A. Allen on the front (I think that's him on the left, right?). Am I correct (help me out Stefan2) that if the copyright had been renewed, it would show up in a search at http://www.copyright.gov/records/? When I search for "Miracle Magazine", I get no relevant hits. So I think this is a public domain photo of him. has other issues of the same magazine. There's a much better photo of him on the cover of December 1965 but unfortunately, we have no idea if it's public domain without spending the $2.99 on the magazine and seeing if there is a copyright notice. May 1956 has now that if this photo is of him (I'm not 100% sure on that), it's probably a better photo than the 1963 one. It is even possible that if you ask really nicely, the people that run this website, who seem to be devotees of A. A. Allen, might even send us a nice high quality scan of one of the clearly public domain photos of him. And this is the whole point. I've found two almost certainly public domain photos (pending confirmation by stefan2, who knows this stuff more than I do). I've offered ways that a public domain photo could be obtained. But you're not even trying - you're just declaring "not possible - done". -- B ( talk) 01:13, 24 April 2013 (UTC) reply

Hi Ethan, who is the copyright holder? Meaning, who is the person who held the camera in their hand, aimed the camera at the subject, and pressed the button? In order for the image to be acceptable to use here, because it does not meet our fair use requirements, the copyright holder must explicitly license the image under an acceptable license, such as the GFDL or the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 license. Are you in communication with the copyright holder? If so, could you ask him or her to forward a letter of permission, similar to the one found at WP:CONSENT, to permissions-en@wikimedia.org? If not, then the image is not appropriate for use here and will have to be deleted. -- B ( talk) 20:08, 17 April 2013 (UTC) reply

• Hold pending OTRS - email has been sent to OTRS [7] so please hold off on deleting until we get confirmation of a free license. -- B ( talk) 21:36, 17 April 2013 (UTC) reply

• keepI strongly disagree with this deletion. I believe that as a history of Australian bank notes, the changes in colour are as substantial as the change in design of the $5 note. The notes are still valid and (occasionally) in circulation, so I believe the image is relevant and useful to the article. Crashdown13 ( talk) 11:55, 4 May 2013 (UTC) reply
