[edit] Profumo pictures PD?

Hi!

Thanks for uploading Image:JohnProfumo.jpg and Image:ChristineKeeler.jpg. You tagged both those pictures as {{PD}}, but I wonder why they would be? Can you refer me to a statement where the copyright holder turns them into the public domain? Thanks! —Gabbe 12:36, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

The same with Image:Dr Larry Brilliant.jpg and Image:CharlesPhillips.jpg. —Gabbe 12:38, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

I chose these particular pics of Image:JohnProfumo.jpg and Image:ChristineKeeler.jpg because they are widely available on Google images and used by bloggers including national press. Pictures of Image:Dr Larry Brilliant.jpg and Image:CharlesPhillips.jpg are publicity pictures by Seva Foundation and Oracle corp and again widely used when these people do public speaking. erpguru 04:30, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

That does not in any way mean they're not copyrighted. You shouldn't mark them as "public domain" unless you're absolutely certain the images have no copyright holder. Public domain is for material which is not covered by copyright, such as paintings made hundreds of years ago, or media ineligable for copyright, such as images made by the United States federal government. In a few specific cases we allow copyrighted images under the "Fair use" provision of American copyright law, you can read more about that on WP:FUC. —Gabbe 17:37, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I understand. I added the "licence" for Image:CharlesPhillips.jpg there is even a button to download the image...it must mean "fair use".

[edit] Exact Software

If you believe an error has been made, all is not lost: see Wikipedia:Deletion review. If an article is deleted that really shouldn't be, deletion review is designed to catch these cases that "fall through the cracks" of the deletion system. If material that demonstrates notability is presented, a request for undeletion will likely succeed. — Saxifrage ✎ 03:22, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
