(note: The part of the talk below here comes from Talk:100 kroner note)

The text in this entry is word for word the same as in the linked webpage and that page was this notice: © 2002 Norges Bank. Does the wikipedian who made this article have permission to use that text? --mav

The same way you put it in; just hit edit and delete most of the copyrighted text (it shouldn't really matter that the text is still in the history -- the history is not visible to search engines). Although the best thing to do is leave in the information but rewrite it in your own words. Facts and information are not copyrightable and I would love to see somebody try to sue us for using their facts and data when we present it in our own words. --mav

Removed it completely. What I meant was that I want to remove a reproduction of the 200 kroner note that I found at http://www.fys.uio.no/plasma/english/texts/birkeland/ and uploaded as /upload/8/8f/NOK200front.png /upload/8/8f/NOK200back.png

Unless the nation of Norway itself is claiming copyright I don't think any simple scan can have a unique and separate copyright. The same is true for any text scaned from a public domain book --just because the book was scanned in last year doesn't mean the the resulting text is not also public domain. -- mav

Uncertain whether Norges Bank does claim copyright on the notes. But I added the original note on reproduction, that I now removed! I don't want to be on thin ice. I'm going to give them a call later. -- Ole

Also, the article titles (all the Norwegian currency denominations, so it seems) should be different. "Kroner" is the Norwegian plural, but English is "krones" and the Swedes and Danes also have the same name for their currency and the same notes, so the title should be something like "Norwegian 100 krones (bank)note".

Fixed in the Norwegian notes and Norwegian coins nodes. Thank you!

Could someone fix the current pictures in the article please?? Make thumbnails etc. Rather intrusive at the moment... -Antwelm 10:38, 2005 May 24 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Norwegian 1000 kr VII adverse.jpg

Image:Norwegian 1000 kr VII adverse.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
