Portion used

Entire image at low resolution
Low resolution?

Yes (640 × 368), insufficient for print publication and a size that the owner makes freely available for use without requiring compensation on most websites
Purpose of use

Illustrates the configuration of this historic locomotive at this particular point in time, showing its state in a much better and more complete way than a textual description could.
Replaceable?

This image could not be replicated today; while the locomotive still exists, its configuration has been radically changed since this time. The only possibility is finding an image owner who would be willing to license such an image freely, and this is unlikely.
Copyrighted This image (call number OP-2549) is from the collection of the photographs of the late Otto Perry (b.1894, d.1970) held at the Western History Department of the Denver Public Library (http://photoswest.org/), and is copyrighted. The department actively encourages fair use of its images for educational purposes.

It is believed that the use of these materials

  • for educational purposes, in articles relating to the subject of the photograph,
  • on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,
  • where the resolution used is insufficient for print use and thus does not materially harm the licensing of these images for publication, and
  • where no free alternative is available,

qualifies as fair use. Any other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

Additionally, permission may have been received to place this image on Wikipedia, but the terms of the permission would not include third party use. If this is the case, the permission will be noted below.

Use that does not fall under fair use may require the permission of the Denver Public Library.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
In addition to the fair-use assertion shown on this page, the copyright holder has granted permission for this image to be used in Wikipedia. This permission does not extend to third parties.

Permission was requested and received by User:Morven.

Although there is an assertion that Wikipedia was granted permission to use this image, there is no information on how to verify that permission.

This is not a deletion message, only a request for information.
