Image:IMG_3006_crop.jpg (talk | delete)

Uploaded by Banzai! (notify | contribs). UE and this is an once deleted and re-uploaded image that has "My friend Clare K." cited as a source. "My friend Clare K." is not a source that can be verified as having released the original image this cropped version is based upon into the public domain. This image was previously a candidate for speedy deletion due to being unsourced and recreated. (→Netscott) 07:57, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, I removed the speedy deletion tag due to potential misuse — Netscott and Banzai were in a lengthy edit war over licensing for this, and I'm not comfortable speedy deleting an image marked by any edit war participant. I also don't necessarily agree with Netscott's open and shut assessment of the image's failure to establish a valid license as he didn't provide reason to doubt the reasons given by Banzai (nor do I disagree - I don't intend to take any stance at all). In any case, my concern is not over the license itself, but rather ensuring that process is followed in a dispute; I defer judgment over the validity of Banzai's claim to the reviewing admin. Tijuana Brass^¡Épa! 07:52, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Additional clarification... this image is sooner unencyclopedic and User:Tijuana Brass's own removal of it from the Mel Gibson article seems to support this view. (→Netscott) 07:57, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's right. I should have made it clearer that I don't intend to take a stance on the license issue; when it comes to encyclopedic usefulness, I don't think it belongs. Tijuana Brass^¡Épa! 08:02, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Biddu shield.jpg (talk | delete)

Uploaded by Striver (notify | contribs). Image of boy on a jeep being used to illustrate an article on Israeli human shields. It serves a purpose of decoration rather than identification. Unless the photo itself is iconic, this image is not fair use. We cannot use a photo of a particular incident to illustrate a concept. For example, a photo of a Star Trek DVD can be used to illustrate an article about the movie for purposes of identification, but cannot be used to illustrate DVDs in general. A link to the site where this image is from would serve the same purpose as including the image. This is not a referendum on Israel - just on whether a particular image qualifies for fair use. BigDT 18:10, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

keepThe photo is "iconic", it has been used in multiple places to illustrate this specific event [6] [7] [8]. Event is of historical notice and will not re-occure. Just as valid as any of the pictures in 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict, Targeting of civilian areas in the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict or any other military conflict picture.--Striver 18:18, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- You may not want to stick with that argument. If this image is just as legitimate as those in the other two articles ... well ... basically everything in Targeting of civilian areas in the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict has been deleted or will be. As of right now, I count eight deleted images. This one is going to be deleted the second anyone on Commons points it out to them - Commons does not allow Fair use images - although it would obviously be permitted here. This one is going to be deleted as an invalid fair use image. (If someone provides a source so it can survive a speedy, it will die here.) This one just comes from a gallery of copyvio images - that's not even a real source. So yes, it needs to be deleted as well. In 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict, Image:Israeli soldiers mourn during a funeral.jpg obviously needs to go for the same reason - its source is just a gallery of copyvio images and thus there is no way to know if it is fair use. The rest are either free images, or, in the case of the IDF image, ones for which fair use is not really disputable. BigDT 19:10, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - If you look again, they are back, since they are fair use. So is this. Its simply a photo that will no re-occure and it represents a notable historical event that can not be reproduced. --Striver 15:16, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - While that's very interesting, press photos cannot be used as "fair use" images. If they could, then AP and Reuters would go out of business as anyone could steal their images and call it "fair use". BigDT 18:40, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      - I dont agree, see "Image:The Falling Man.jpg".
        Again, the photo itself is notable and the subject of discussion apart from the general topic. But in this case, you aren't writing an article about the photo, you're using the photo to illustrate the subject of the photo. BigDT 01:54, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Image:The Falling Man.jpg" is not on the Falling men from the wtc article, its on the 9/11 attacks article. On the other hand, this article will be about this very specific topic, IDF use of Human shields. So i really do not see how your arguement is valid. --Striver 17:09, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're wrong. Image:The Falling Man.jpg is being used in The Falling Man, an article devoted specifically to this image. howch e ng {chat} 17:07, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Uploaded by Quadell (notify | contribs). OR,UE The image is supposed to represent part of the Nanking Massacres. However the website source gives no information on origin or source.
