[edit] THE UPLOADER IS BREACHING WIKIPEDIA RULES
This image is not properly licenced nor it is properly explained. There's no even basic information.
The uploader in question is deliberatly avoiding the following Wikipedia rules:
Wikipedia:Images
Their origin must be properly referenced. In the case of an image not directly attributed to its creator (e.g. in the case of reproduction of ancient artwork or artefacts), it is not sufficient to merely indicate the image's immediate source (such as an URL), but the identity of the image's content (author, manuscript, museum id) must be given (see also Wikipedia:Reliable sources). Images that aren't properly identified (e.g. images with descriptions such as "a cuneiform tablet", "a medieval manuscript" etc.) are unencyclopedic and hence not useful for Wikipedia.
Wikipedia:Image_use_policy
subsection: Rules of thumb
2. Always specify on the description page where the image came from, such as a URL, or a name/alias and method of contact for the photographer.
subsection: Adding images
Before you upload an image, make sure that either:
- You own the rights to the image (usually meaning that you created the image yourself).
- You can prove that the copyright holder has licensed the image under a free license.
- You 'can prove that the image is in the public domain.
- You believe, and state, a fair use rationale for the specific use of the image that you intend.
Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags
Incudes some flag-specific tags as this particular image is not an artistic painting or anything similar, but it is a HISTORICAL FLAG.
Also, not even a fair use rationale was provided.
An attempt for normal discussion with other editors on these matters has been ignored and I think that Wikipedia administrators should do something about this image. Rules for all- or rules for no one.--Vbb-sk-mk 23:23, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
