[edit] Self-immolation of Thích Quảng Ðức

Thích Quảng Ðức

This is the famous photo of self-immolation of Buddhist monk Thích Quảng Ðức on a busy Saigon street in 1963 in protest of the Vietnamese government's repressive policies on Buddhism. This is an important photograph, both historically and for the illustration of Self-immolation and Thích Quảng Ðức. It is of reasonable resolution for a photograph of its era.

  • Nominate and support. - Dylan 04:52, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose - This is a cropped version of the original, which is a lot better. Theres no copyright or source information on here either. The talk page suggests it's just a cropped version of the RATM album cover. - Hahnchen 06:29, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. This is a cropped version, the full version of the original photo would look like this. Also, it has no licensing tag. If someone could find a big-enough copy of the original, and were to tag it, I would support it. - JPM | 06:37, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Agree with above. Alr 16:28, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: This site says that a different picture is from a 1963 issue of Time Magazine. I'm not sure of the copyright regarding that, though. If no one can find out the copyright information, then maybe it can be uploaded with the {{Fairuseunsure}} template? - JPM | 17:52, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose for FP unless a legit licence can be established, preferably for the original full photograph. I agree the pic and subject are incredibly striking and worthy of FP, and we should keep this (much reproduced and widespread) pic under fair use even if we can't find a free licensed version, but we can't have copyrighted fair use pics as FPs. The terms of Fair Use prevent us showing the images in other contexts (e.g. FP galleries). ~ Veledan • Talk 20:47, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. I changed the photograph so that it's not the one from the Rage cover. I've also posted the relevant info about the picture on its page.
  • Conditional Support If the copyright is allowed for FP. The image is spectacular.--liquidGhoul 13:04, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment due to the incompatible license the nomination might as well be removed right now. Memorable photographs will have to do for this one. --Dschwen 21:24, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Removed due to non-free licence. Raven4x4x 23:40, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
