Image fails to meet fair use criterion #1. --Oden 23:13, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
{{Replaceable fair use disputed |This is a historical image taken from the Large Soviet Encyclopedia, that was uploaded to the internet the Department of Culture of the Vologda Oblast (cultinfo.ru) for free use [http://www.cultinfo.ru/fulltext/1/001/008/130/], It's impossible to recreate the 1970s as there is virtually no photographs, apart from this one, that can capture such a moment.}}
- Compared with a recent photograph there is virtually no way to distinguish it from the image in question. Furthermore the fair use rationale and use of the image do not suggest why the image needs to be in the article and cannot be replaced by a recent photograph. Finally, our image use policy does not permit fair use images in montages, fair use images need to be placed next to article text.--Oden 23:54, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- What are you talking about? The lighting arrangement, the bas-relief of Lenin (later removed), are you blind? Or the "new" appearance of the shiny marble floor... --Kuban Cossack 23:58, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- Those changes could be mentioned in the article text. Remember that the image is reduced in size in the article, so the details you mentioned are barely visible. Also: no personal attacks, comment on content, not contributors. --Oden 00:04, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Read the text to explain...and then let a reader look at the image to compare. As for the question on whether you are or not blind then its fair I think...nothing offensive meant here...--Kuban Cossack 00:11, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Anyway I moved the image to the top of the article and changed the heading...as you requested...although it did screw up the structure of the article, but what's more important? Quality of articles and the encyclopedia and the images that improve them are for me, regardless if there might be "tweaks" in the copyright. I am proud to say that the barnstars I earned are for the articles that I created...and for the images that help to illustrate them, and most of the tweaks are harmless...particulary as the original image was published in a time when copyright only affected private works, not public ones (like an encyclopedia) in the USSR. --Kuban Cossack 00:21, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

- Ok, I self-reverted on this image, so you can remove the disputed tag if you feel like it. It is possible that another editor might dispute the image in the future. As regards some of the other fair use images you have uploaded, like a bridge and a subway station these are clearly replaceable images since the structures still exist. --Oden 00:35, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Bridge is not an image, but a drawing, a promotional photo for redesign of its lighting. I agree with the Vostok station argument... but as there is no replacement available right now in commons' or anywhere else...--Kuban Cossack 00:38, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Also I hope you do not mind me self-reverting the article...--Kuban Cossack 00:40, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
