Flickr permission for this file omits commercial use Appraiser (talk) 02:55, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- You're mistaken. Permission for this image is not based on Flickr. It is based on OTRS permission of the owner. See https://secure.wikimedia.org/otrs-2.1.3/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom&TicketID=1651996
- The image is fine for Wikimedia Commons.Ferrylodge (talk) 03:02, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- P.S. It seems that you have not mentioned this deletion request (or your reason for it) at the image page.Ferrylodge (talk) 03:54, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not very familiar with the procedure for drawing attention to questionable copyright issues on Commons. But whenever I use Flickr images, I make sure that images are OK for commercial use. I don't have an OTRS account and so don't know what it says there, but I trust you have checked it.--Appraiser (talk) 03:58, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

(undent)I uploaded this image using OTRS, after obtaining specific written permission of the owner. So, the image should not be deleted. You can learn more about OTRS here.Ferrylodge (talk) 05:14, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

- I just checked the associated OTRS ticket and everything looks just fine. It's been GFDL released by the owner - Alison ❤ 09:24, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- It was protected for just a few days because it's on the enwiki main page as a news item, and subject to likely vandalism. — Rlevse • Talk • 10:17, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

- It looks like this was government produced? In any case it's not signed, I should think it would qualify as an anonymous work. -Nard the Bard 19:53, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- First, not produced by a government. It's an invitation card to some ball of a de:Studentenverbindung. Second, pray tell why this should be an anonymous work? I see the drawing is signed by "Alois Waldner, Prag".
{{subst:vd}}(If it's Schlesinger or Kukula, it'd be ok, of course) Lupo 23:00, 30 August 2008 (UTC)- Ah. I misread then. I wonder who he was? Google produces a match for a gentleman who died in 1925[1]. Given the age of the work I think it's safe to assume the author is dead 70 years. -Nard the Bard 00:45, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- "Waldner" is a rather common name in Austria. What makes you think the person in that Google hit was the person who made this drawing? Lupo 08:52, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- I didn't say there was a connection. I am done with this discussion. It is quite obvious this work will be deleted even though it is highly unlikely someone would claim rights on a one-off invitation. -Nard the Bard 14:13, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

- Hello, I uploaded it. Alois Waldner was the printer, not the artist. The artist was i) Albert Schlesinger (+ 1917) or ii) Richard Kukula (+ 1919). I wrote "unknown" because I am not sure whether Schlesinger or Kukula painted it, but it is sure that the artist is more then 70 years dead. --Hollan (talk) 13:21, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
- Keep Please write Albert Schlesinger († 1917) or Richard Kukula († 1919) as author. --Herbert Ortner (talk) 16:05, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, please do so. Also, how do you know it was Schlesinger or Kukula? Lupo 19:06, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the hint. I' ve added "Albert Schlesinger († 1917) or Richard Kukula († 1919)". The card is on the back side signed with "xx". XX is the symbol/sign of the so called subsenior of a students fraternity. In June 1881 the subsenior of the Corps Austria in Prag (from which is the invitation to the ball) was Schlesinger or Kukula (see: Jürgen Herrlein, Corps Austria. Corpsliste 1861-2001, Frankfurt 2001, pages 55 and 56). --Hollan (talk) 07:40, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

This is not a picture which depicts a cup-style, this is not a picture which depicts a certain coffee-drink. This is a picture which depicts a starbucks-coffee-cup, and only a starbucks-coffee-cup.

- Delete You can't really claim that you would know that this building is actually a coffee shot if there would not be the logo. >> not COM:DM Forrester [[ hate+love letters ]] 23:30, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- Except for the people sitting around drinking coffee? And since when is it required that the subject of the photo be obvious? -Nard the Bard 00:47, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- You would only recognize the coffee when you look very close. That logo changes the character of the image and is therefor not a incidental inclusion. Forrester [[ hate+love letters ]] 07:41, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- Keep, it is a photo of a coffee shop and of people drinking coffee, not (primarily) of a copyrighted logo. --Kjetil_r 16:48, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
- It is a photo of a Starbucks coffee shop. Any without that logo you could not even say at once that it is a coffee shop. Forrester [[ hate+love letters ]] 16:14, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
- Delete as per Forrester and ChrisiPK. This image is definitly not COM:DM. The logo is a majority part of the image --~/w /Talk - Usefull stuff 17:11, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
- Delete It is the copyright logo that gives the picture its strength. It is not de minimis in my view. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 21:34, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
- Keep The shop is the subject of the photograph and the logo is only incidental, and occupies a small percentage o fthe image -- about 5% of the area DGG (talk) 02:34, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
- It is not the percentage area that matters but the subjective effect. Try blanking the logo out and see if you think the photo still worth taking. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 19:45, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
- Delete As MichaelMaggs and Forrester, the image would not have the same quality or give the same initial perception without the logo. It would not be at all obvious that it is a coffee shop without the logo. So in a sense the logo defines the picture, which means it does not qualify as DM (in my opinion). naerii 23:38, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
- Delete The image needs the logo to establish the setting. This makes the logo not an incidental inclusion. As well, the image is not of superior quality so no great loss. And it is not something that is unique enough to warrant overlooking the breach in policy. FloNight♥♥♥ 00:48, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

- There is nothing wrong with the cropped close-up, if the parent image is okay. Why hasn't a deletion notice been placed on the parent image Image:Donyounggovpalin.jpg instead? If there is no objection to the parent image, then the cropped close-up should not be deleted.Ferrylodge (talk) 09:25, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

- The photographer responded to my webmaster email saying that Wikipedia could use the photo but other use requires approval. Thus it is restricted and photo is mislabeled.

- SEWilco, you wrote "Photographer did not state if he is a federal employee." Why not ask him? You seem to be in contact with this person, so why not inquire? It seems premature to delete the image if you can simply ask this person a yes-or-no question.Ferrylodge (talk) 06:18, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
- Delete per SEWilco unless we can confirm the photographer was a federal employee. — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 16:46, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
Please, this discussion should not been here, but rather on the original photo posted here on commons : Image:Donyounggovpalin.jpg--Lilyu (talk) 04:25, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

photo is mis-labeled. It is not in the public domain. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2008_Republican_National_Convention Appraiser (talk) 15:24, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- The image page is protected from editing so I cannot add a suspected copyright violation tag there. See User:SEWilco'snote above.--Appraiser (talk) 15:30, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- Because "above" is not obvious if you reached here by clicking on the image's warning: The photographer claims reuse is restricted, so the photo is being treated as if it is not PD, thus the PD claim seems erroneous. -- SEWilco (talk) 01:33, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- SEWilco, you wrote "The photographer did not state whether he works for Young as a contractor, state employee, or federal employee, so his status is unknown." Why not ask him?

- SEWilco: Where did you send the email request to? What email address sent the response? If you send the request to Young's official house email, chances are 99% that it was a staffer who responded--thus an employee of the US Congress. Therefore, it is public domain, in spite of any claims to the contrary. Same situation if the email responce came from a .gov email address. If this person was using a .gov email address and is not a congressional staffer, then that is a violation of the w:Hatch Act of 1939, which prevents mixing of political and governmental staff and monies. Seriously, the picture is from Young's official House website, it is PD.--TheZachMorrisExperience (talk) 03:48, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

- Keep - Isn't the fact that it appears on an official Congressional webpage make it pretty clear that it is public domain? I don't think we are required to get a notarized statement by the Congressman stating that his staff took the photo. Let's avoid absurdities here. This should be considered public domain until proven otherwise.--TheZachMorrisExperience (talk) 17:33, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Japan's famous Big Buddha to cite three cases, "the Buddha of Nara" and "Buddha of Kamakura," it is absolutely not the one about the various theories, this figure depicted as "Buddha Takaoka" Few of those people saw this figure could be misleading. (日本で有名な大仏を3つ挙げる場合、「奈良の大仏」と「鎌倉の大仏」は確実に挙げられますが、もう一つについては諸説あるため、この図で描かれているように「高岡大仏」を挙げるのは、この図を見た人に誤解を与える恐れがあります。)-Tail furry (talk) 16:00, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
