Talk:Eclipse (mints)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What's the point of the picture? It could do with a more informative picture, instead of one with a black hole in it. Dragosian 23:29, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

A good question. The user seems to have uploaded several self-made images of a similar nature (breath mint products superimposed over NASA images) and included them in the respective articles. When one can simply take a picture of the relevant item rather than rely on a crude hand-drawn image of the packaging, I fail to see the point of the self-made picture prominently featured in those articles.

Also, the extended description of the picture background (space images) is totally irrelevant to breath mint articles. --84.85.0.110 19:10, 28 November 2006 (UTC) KeplerNiko

Well, the picture is hand-drawn, thus is more free than even a photograph (let alone an advertising picture provided by the company). A photograph, unless it shows "original creative effort", is judged in some jurisdictions as being a merely mechanical reproduction and thus it does not create a new copyright. It might be possible to make a photograph that shows original creative effort, by using creative lighting, setting, etc. - but that's dubious, in my opinion. But a hand rendering is definitely original creative effort, thus a new copyright is created, and there are no fair use issues. Herostratus 05:09, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Was looking for the ingredients for the mints and found them on the Wrigley website (http://www.wrigley.com/wrigley/products/products_nutritional.asp - seems to only work in IE). Sorbitol, natural and artificial flavors, magnesium stearate, acesulfame K, sucralose, lactic acid, calcium lactate, Blue 2 Lake Feb 20th, 2007.
