Uploaded by Jtdirl (notify). Media photo being used to illustrate the object of the photo, violates WP:FAIR#Counterexamples #5- BigDT 04:29, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Keep claim completely without foundation. The image shows a news event, the display of a famous consort crown on the very last occasion when it would be seen in context with the person it was made, at her funeral, on her coffin. It is a historic image of an iconic moment linking a historic object and its historic wearer for the very last time. That particular image was photographed from many sides and featured in hundreds of broadcast shots. That sort of image was used on the front page of millions of newspapers because it was seen as such a historic shot. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 23:03, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
      • Please look at the image page. The author gives [2] as the source URL for the image. http://www.tribuneindia.com is a news media service. WP:FAIR lists as an example of what is NOT eligible for fair use, "A photo from a press agency (e.g. Reuters, AP), not so famous as to be iconic, to illustrate an article on the subject of the photo." Even if lots of other people used this photo or lots of other people took pictures of the crown, it doesn't matter. Press photos cannot be used under a claim of fair use. Further, even if this photo did qualify for fair use, it is being used to illustrate crowns in general, not in an article about this specific crown. That would be like using a copyrighted photo of Michael Vick to illustrate an article on football. BigDT 23:02, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
        • False analogy and false argument. It fully qualifies for fair use in the context in which it is used. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 00:21, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
          • You are welcome to your opinion, however, unless you can demonstrate that this is not a press photo being used to illustrate the subject of the photo, it does not qualify for fair use. BigDT 02:11, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Uploaded by Jtdirl (notify). Fair use photo of a particular abortion protest being used to illustrate "pro-choice" article. Violates WP:FAIR#policy #8.- BigDT 04:29, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Keep does nothing of the sort. It shows a pro-choice rally in Dublin. It is carefully captioned in a neutral manner that states what it was (a pro-choice rally), where it was (outside a parliament building) and when it was (2001). It was very carefully used to avoid in any way POV-pushing, which seems to be part of the accusation. The image fully qualifies for use here according to the website of the photographers. The US articles on Pro-Life and Pro-Choice tend to be packed with US images and devoid of non-US images. This image offers a non-US perspective (literally). One highly questionable nomination is puzzling. Two in a row out of the blue, on two dramatically diverse topics where there are no issues and no rules broken, makes me wonder about the good faith behind them. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 23:37, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
      • There's nothing strange or unusual about my nomination. Any time I find one photo that a user uploads that in my opinion appears to be a violation of policy, I always check the rest of that user's contributions to the image namespace. That's not something I've made any effort to hide - if you look at my contributions on IFD or just look at my user talk contributions, you will find that I frequently have 10 image copyright notices in a row to someone's talk page because they uploaded 10 pictures without telling where the heck they came from. Now, as far as this image itself, I don't question that it's a nice picture, that it doesn't push POV, or anything like that. Please read WP:FAIR. Non-free images can only be used under a specific set of circumstances. This image is being used to illustrate the article Pro-choice. It is not being used to illustrate an article about the particular rally depicted. As such, it is purely decorative and does not seem to qualify for fair use. As far as permissions granted on the site where you got the image, [3] gives permission for non-profit re-use. Unfortunately, that's not free enough for Wikipedia. BigDT 23:02, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
        • A complete mispresentation of policy. The article about the Pro-choice movement around the world. One area where abortion is particularly a sensitive issue is Ireland. The image shows a public rally outside the national parliament on the issue. The rally is about pro-choice. The article it is in is about pro-choice. Your definition of decorative is bizarre and one that if applied would mean that 99% of all images on Wikipedia would have to be deleted. The image is not decorative but informative in showing in it the organisations associated with the pro-choice campaign in Ireland, including the involvement of a major political party, and the fact that the movement was involved in political lobbying through a rally outside a parliament. Your claims about Indymedia also suggest a failure to understand the conditions under which their images can be used, and in fact are used, worldwide, including elsewhere by Wikipedia. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 00:21, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
          • Ireland is not mentioned in the article in any substantive way. The photo is of a pro-choice rally. There are two free photos from pro-choice rallies already in the article - there's no reason for a non-free image to be used. WP:FAIR#Policy says that fair use images can only be used when no free image is adequate. Unless I'm missing something, the two free images adequately illustrate pro-choice rallies.
