We are deleting this image for 10 days (give it 11 to be hypertechnical, let Brad do it when the time comes) to comply with a friendly request from an upstream provider who is dealing with a DMCA issue on this. We have counter-notified. Apologies for doing this again, the counterparty is being hypertechnical and the upstream asked us to go through the process again. --Jimbo Wales 22:26, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
- Since I can't see the image, does it have to do with the Nazi symbol? If so what does that have to do with the DCMA? =Nichalp «Talk»= 08:04, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

- Briefly: the logo is a variation on the Arrow Cross, not the swastika. The exact variation called "crosstar" was, supposedly, created by someone who took out a copyright on it. Though he uploaded the logo and other images, and gave permission to Wikipedia to use them, he subsequently withdrew the permission and deleted the images. It's been back and forth since then. The latest copy of the crosstar was drawn in a small format by a user here. Using a logo to illustrate an article about the logo is probably one of the clearest "fair use" exceptions to the copyright laws, but even so each complaint has to be handled properly. For other accounts, just Google [Crosstar Wikipedia]. -Will Beback 08:28, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- Although the 11 day deadline has passed, there are still issues outstanding (accord to Brad Patrick) so I'm afraid the image must remained protected for a while longer. Kaldari 15:36, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- There isn't a rush. The outside reporting of this matter is so amusing that stringing it out a bit improves the theater. Wikipedia is a long-term project. -Will Beback 10:14, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

- I find it slightly humorous that the words "No file by this name exists; you can upload it." are on a page that has been locked for ten days for five months.Barticus88 02:22, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah that is pretty funny. --WikiSlasher 11:19, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
