[edit] Images uploaded by CL8 (mass nomination)

User:CL8 uploaded a variety of images with the {{NoRightsReserved}} tag with no evidence the creator released their rights, making this a possible copyright violation. Each of these subjects could easily be photographed for free making copyrighted images unneeded (even with dubious fair use claims). In most of those cases, CL8, a wikipedian living in Columbus, Ohio can't be the copyright owner himself. A variety of these images also required me to track down sources as they were not included by the uploader. CV - Mgm|(talk) 11:30, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Uploader asserted that "this image is copyright and may only be reproduced if both for non-commercial private use and in hard-copy format." none of which the original creator ever stated on his site. It's not the uploader's own content either. Alexa contact information tracks the owner to Norwich in the United Kingdom. Either way: non-commercial clauses are not acceptable on Wikipedia.
