[edit] Image, fair use, and overzealous copyright bots

It's a shame that the far more famous image of Harold Lloyd hanging from the hands of a clock got removed by a bot. I'm almost certain that it's fair use as a publicity release. It's certainly appeared in enough subsequent posters! I'd love it if some editor with the means to verify the situation replaced this image with the public loves.

From my reading of fair use, it seems that the image should be perfectly open to inclusion. I've assumed that the old copies were poorly tagged and uploaded a new one. ThomasHarte 18:37, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

The bot that removed it (User:OrphanBot) just removes images that aren't tagged, so whoever uploaded the image was likely just sloppy in tagging it, or it was vandalically removed. I agree totally and would note that that image probably has a better claim to fair use then alot of the stuff included around here ;). 68.39.174.238 02:54, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

The copyright should have expired. Someone just needs a public domain tag. MMetro (talk) 23:38, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Move?

• Talk:Safety Last – Safety Last → Safety Last! – {Titlecard, promo poster shown, most all sources, IMDb included give the title as "Safety Last!". Move listed here because the page with the ! in it is currently a redirect.} — 68.39.174.238 03:02, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

• • I'm sure I'm going to annoy someone if I keep leaping in, but there was an exception in the move rules that allows a page to be moved over another if the second is a redirect to the first that has never been edited. As the 'Safety Last!' redirect met that criteria I moved the page. I've always seen the film listed as with the exclamation mark, and in any case I think the titlecard is definitive ThomasHarte 23:06, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

• • No, I won't get annoyed; it's good that someone helps me do the WP:RM work. —Nightstallion (?) 12:01, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What is a "train order dispatch setup"?

Could someone (the author, maybe) explain this mysterious phrase? --APW 14:34, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
