Granted, it's a bit smaller than the others, but it looks good. AlbinoMonkey 11:31, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • good picture, but too small. I'd support the original.Dunc|☺ 21:09, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • Now support, nice. Dunc|☺ 21:18, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
      • Now I think it's a copyvio. I can't support a copyvio. Dunc|☺ 13:38, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • A bit smaller! Oppose. Can't see any detail, would support a much larger version. ed g2s • talk 18:44, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • Uploaded larger version, Change vote to neutral, not as good as I though it'd be. ed g2s • talk 00:58, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Neutral. I'm leaning towards support. Its a good image, but we could use a source link so that the PD status can be verified. There is a larger version here, but its a bit grainy. -- Solipsist 20:08, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Support, now that the larger version is uploaded -- Chris 73 Talk 01:06, Nov 4, 2004 (UTC)

  • Oppose until public domain status can be independently verified.--Eloquence*
  • Support if license is confirmed. Janderk 15:42, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • comment it appears that this is from http://www.batcon.org/ so is maybe copyvio see [1] claims it's copyrighted by them. We should probably be nice and ask permission Dunc|☺ 21:23, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • That looks like a completely different image to me. ed g2s • talk 01:19, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • I was having trouble spotting the connection myself. I guess we are talking about the thumbnail next to 'New Mexico Bat Survey and Acoustic Library' on the second link. Its not the same photo, but I managed to find larger versions on Batcon at [2] & [3] which are sufficiently similar to suggest it was from the same roll of film. The photo credit is for Dr. Merlin D. Tuttle, so if we can find the university he works for it might turn out to be the University of Tokyo and a PD photo as originally suggested. I don't think Batcon holds the copyright. -- Solipsist 08:43, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
      • It looks like Dr Merlin Tuttle is the founder and president of Bat Conservation International (BCI), ie. www.batcon.org. -- Solipsist 09:01, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • I'm still not sure its the same roll of film. Either way we can't promote an image until we know what its copyright status is. ed g2s • talk 01:09, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
