[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:ColinFranklin.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:ColinFranklin.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! (Whisper...) 15:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Actually, the picture is clearly in the public domain (whatever the museum claims) since the gentleman died in 1880, and any photograph taken more than 120 years ago is public domain even if we don't know who the photographer was. But it would be good if you could provide a link to the source of the image. User:Angr 14:51, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
