Carrie Buck, of Buck v. Bell.

[edit] Source

Picture scanned directly from Paul B. Popenoe, "The Progress of Eugenic Sterilization," Journal of Heredity, 25:1 (1934), 23. Ultimate copyright holder is not certain, but the picture today likely resides in the archives of the American Eugenics Society or the Human Betterment Foundation.

[edit] Licensing

For use in the articles Carrie Buck and Buck v. Bell, this photograph is "fair use" as 1. it provides a valuable illustration of the person in question and no other suitable "free" picture can be found, 2. its source is indicated above, encouraging future users to license it as necessary, and 3. it is unlikely to cause any financial damage to the copyright holder for it to appear on the non-profit English Wikipedia. Such criteria may not apply for other uses of this photograph.

This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket acceptable non-free content categories listed at Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images or Wikipedia:Non-free content#Audio clips. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "Carrie Buck" :

To illustrate the subject in question
Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information
On the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation ([1]),

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Copyrights.

To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed non-free use rationale.

("not sure" is not good enough)

Give me a break -- I've given you the exact immediate source of it from an old journal and one of two possible ultimate copyright holders, neither of which are indicated in the actual source. That's better than 90% of the fairusein tags currently out there, and certainly within the limits of our source requirements. --Fastfission 13:10, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
