Image talk:Waterboard3-small.jpg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I came to wikipedia to find answers regarding this highly contraversial technique. This authentic rendering by a waterboarding victim is necessary in depicting what an atrocity it really is. To remove the picture would be a sincere injustice to the people seeking information as well as the victims themselves.

[edit] Strong Keep Waterboard pic

The original artist clearly intended this picture to be distributed as widely as possible. It is disturbing, but necessary to educate those of us, myself included, who had no idea what waterboarding was until I just happened upon this image. note: I am new here. If this is not the correct place for this comment, please feel free to educate me. Janewry (talk) 20:05, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion discussion

Why is the closed deletion discussion not linked here, as should have been done? Badagnani (talk) 19:18, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

The deletion discussion is still not linked properly. This oversight should be corrected. Badagnani (talk) 22:56, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use non-rationales

I have removed the following from the fair use rationales presented on this page. They are either false, or not are remotely relevant to any possible fair use claim. ➪HiDrNick! 19:20, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

  1. it is a historically significant photo of an important event in human history.
  2. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of this article and how the event depicted was very historically significant to the general public.
  3. the photo was taken in a public museum
  4. the photo has value for all human kind which is arguably greater than any copyright issue.
  5. proud moment in American history
I reverted you. Please stop. The proud moment nonsense was added by someone else, I didn't look where. The others are fine for information/consideration. Don't remove them again. Lawrence § t/e 19:21, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
