[edit] Image:Adam-goldberg-2-sized.jpg

Uploader asserts to be the author of the work, but the image has unverifiable copyright status and looks like a promotional photo. It appears on a number of fansites and unofficial sites with no accompanying copyright info (e.g. [1], [2]). Muchness (talk) 01:24, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Claims to be under GFDL but appears to be a screenshot of a television show; see My Story Begins (which is listed at AfD anyway). Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 04:11, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Promotional image. It is too large for fair use, and too dark for use on Wikipedia in a thumbnail-size. User:Krator (t c) 13:09, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Is this a derivative work or not? Uploader/editor (who hasn't edited for over a year) says it came from a presentation Jason McHuff (talk) 14:10, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Uploader does not indicate why this image is in the Public Domain, it does not seem early enough to have fallen into PD by normal means Storkk (talk) 15:32, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Uploaded with copyright claim in the summary field, tagged as public domain. mattbr 17:32, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Not deleted - uploader has removed the copyright claim and asserted authorship, which is a reasonable assertion based on his username --B (talk) 06:23, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Yellowjacket.jpg

I really doubt this has been released to the public domain. Oniononion (talk) 21:45, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

The uploader now says it is released under GDFL, which I doubt as well. Oniononion (talk) 22:54, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Not deleted - the fair use tag and rationale are acceptable. --B (talk) 06:21, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Dalai Lama boy.jpg

This is a hard one.... This is a picture from Tibet in 1940, at which time (according to History of Tibet) sovereignty was in dispute between China and Tibet. I don't know what if anything Tibetan copyright laws were at that time, and I don't really understand {{PD-China}}. Can anyone help sort this out? Mangostar (talk) 00:01, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

This IS a hard one. I doubt very much that Tibet had any copyright laws in 1940. Seeing as the photo seems to be in general use in many publications without attribution - I would think it is fair to consider it as being in the "public domain". John Hill (talk) 00:43, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Tibet was never internationally recognized as a sovereign state. In 1940, the sovereignty of the Republic of China (Chungking for the allies, Nanking for the Axis) was internationally recognized over Tibet. The justification here will have to be that PD-China cannot be used in Wikipedia. Of relevance: refer to the citations at Foreign_relations_of_Tibet#Wartime_relations_with_the_United_States. --Jiang (talk) 02:06, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
PD-China looks like it was recently changed to backdate the cut-off point to 1923, since there was a 1904 bilateral treaty with China. However, the same source it gives for this also says in a footnote that the PRC doesn't view this treaty as binding. Should we change the template back to the 1940s cutoff time because of this? (I think this picture is nonfree regardless though.) 140.247.240.238 (talk) 15:16, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
