Queen Elizabeth over the course of half a century as depicted upon United Kingdom coinage.
Queen Elizabeth over the course of half a century as depicted upon United Kingdom coinage.

Currently only in Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, but that will change. Created by User:Mcauburn. This image shows a longevity span and the changing of UK coinage and money around the throne.

  • Fair use == ineligible. Leonardo 02:03, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Why is it fair use(sorry, a noob when it comes to images). If it's cause it's currency wouldn't this fall into the same catagory? Joe I 02:24, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
      • It is only fair use if British currency designs are not in the public domain (which they may be; I don't know). US currency designs are in the public domain, as are all other works of the US government. Fair use is basically the usage of a copyrighted image to demonstrate what is in the image. (Read more at WP:FAIR; I'm no great shakes at descriptions.) —Cuiviénen, Friday, 28 April 2006 @ 04:07 UTC
  • Oppose on size, good concept though. The image probably shouldnt be fair use. It was taken from a gov't site. It doesnt matter what the subject is, but who took it. If I took a picture of money and put it under copyright, then it would be a copyrighted photo. -Ravedave 04:55, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Even if it was from a government website, UK government material isn't in the public domain like it is in the US. See Crown copyright. - Mgm|(talk) 12:15, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
OK. I've heard all. What if the images were taken from 4 different coin images, where Crown copyright applies, edited & combined by a user with an external app, and reuploaded. The finished product could then be claimed by whatever copyright the user wishes? Joe I 12:22, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
No. This would be copyright infringement. At best, you could use it with the "fair use" tag but it would still be ineligible as a FP. --dm (talk) 01:17, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose due to size, license, etc. But great concept. bcasterline t 12:25, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Ineligible license and way too small. --dm (talk) 01:17, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

OK, thnx ya'll. I've removed it from the list. Joe I 02:39, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
