• All of these images have no source and no copyright information. Since they originated in Hong Kong, they may still be copyrighted until 50 years after first publication. However, we can still assume them to be copyrighted at this time. By the way, I could not list a lot of images because there are too many. -- George Ho ( talk) 06:50, 10 April 2013 (UTC) reply
  • Update - This article is nominated as copyvio, so I added a list of images. Also, images turned out to have come from http://www.robertchua.com/ -- George Ho ( talk) 07:20, 10 April 2013 (UTC) reply

• This image is templated as being PD but it is not, as the author has not been dead for 70 years as is required for it to be PD in its country of origin (the UK). The image does not qualify for fair use, as a free image could readily be created using an open source map. Dianna ( talk) 02:30, 10 April 2013 (UTC) reply
• Delete Made in 1933, so the US copyright lasts for 95 years since publication as the author wasn't dead before 1926. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 00:30, 11 April 2013 (UTC) reply

• Old photo of footballer from 1963. I am unable to find the source of the image online. The small size makes me think thus may be a crop from a larger image. It's unlikely the uploader is the original photographer or copyright holder. Dianna ( talk) 13:07, 10 April 2013 (UTC) reply

• This photo was taken in 1946 (or 1956). Either way, the uploader is unlikely to be the copyright holder. Dianna ( talk) 22:42, 10 April 2013 (UTC) reply

This photo is the the Vertical File for Harriet Barnes Pratt in the New York Botanical Garden library. I am a library volunteer and am creating a biography of Mrs. Pratt at the request of the Acquisitions Librarian. He told me that the NYBG owns the copyright of the photo and that it may be posted on Wikipedia for free use by all. Steina01( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 13:23, 15 April 2013 (UTC) reply

There's some problems with the way you templated the file, as the licenses currently indicate that you personally are the copyright holder and have released it under license. If the NYBG owns the copyright, the file description needs to say so, and we need to get a release from them. The best thing to do is to get an OTRS ticket in place on the file. Instructions on how to do this can be found at commons:Commons:OTRS. Also, the Description field says the photo was taken in 1956 and the Date field says 1946. Which is right? -- Dianna ( talk) 14:44, 15 April 2013 (UTC) reply

I have left a message on the user's talk page requesting that they have the copyright holder send a statement of permission. -- B ( talk) 03:28, 18 April 2013 (UTC) reply

The correct date is 1956. My supervisor at the NYBG has sent the proper release. I'm still learning my way around Wikipedia and hope that you will be patient if I am slow in getting things done properly. Thanks,Alan. Steina01

I've received and processed the OTRS email, which looks fine.-- SPhilbrick (Talk) 00:10, 26 April 2013 (UTC) reply

• I can't find any evidence on the source website that the image has been released under license. Also, there's no freedom of panorama in France. Dianna ( talk) 23:14, 10 April 2013 (UTC) reply

The source of this image is here(You can see the licensing information of this image, not there), and unlike Wikimedia Commons, the image is acceptable on English Wikipedia per this license tag(This template is for photos of copyrighted buildings in countries or regions without freedom of panorama. The lack of FOP precludes the image from being uploaded to Commons, but the English Wikipedia will accept it under US law.

• Uploader stipulates that removal of the watermark is not allowed: "only as long as the branded date is not hidden or tampered from the image's original source". Thus the file is not free enough to be uploaded here. Dianna ( talk) 23:28, 10 April 2013 (UTC) reply
• Comment It seems that the image has three licences: GFDL, CC-BY-SA and a licence which limits derivative works such as cropping. The first two licences are OK whereas the third one is not, but as the image has two OK licences, it may be possible to simply ignore the third licence. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 00:34, 11 April 2013 (UTC) reply
• Question - Is there any evidence the image was used somewhere else? The only reason I can think of for these legal notices is that the uploader specifically wants the watermark in the image. ------- User:DanTD ( talk) 03:10, 15 April 2013 (UTC) reply

• The problem is that the Creative Commons and GNU licenses allow derivative works to be created, and this could potentially involve removal of the watermark, which the uploader has requested not be removed. -- Dianna ( talk) 04:07, 15 April 2013 (UTC) reply
  • For example, a potential use could be to illustrate an article about exit signs, in which case you would probably crop out the exit sign and remove everything else. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 13:42, 15 April 2013 (UTC) reply

• Regardless of whether the uploader's request is legally enforcible in light of their chosen license, it's clear that their desire, for whatever unknowable reason, is that the date not be removed. Wikipedia has no interest in images with such watermarks and so we should simply delete the image if our needs and the user's wishes cannot be brought into alignment. I have asked the user directly at their talk page what their reason is for this request, so we can see if we get an answer ... but if none is forthcoming, we should delete this. -- B ( talk) 03:35, 18 April 2013 (UTC) reply
