Definitely not cc-by. That kind of licence did not exist back then when the author lived. It is not old enough to be public domain and the source website states "All rights reserved" as far as I have seen. Cecil (talk) 11:56, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Parade float (WARNING: off color theme). User:D-Kuru speedy deleted it with the "copyvio - derevative work (no FOP in the USA)". Perhaps so, but IIRC from disussion at Commons:Licensing, photos of 3 dimensional parade floats was allowed. However I can't find any specific guidelines or policy about this. Perhaps some clarification is needed? Commons has a great number of images with parade floats. --Infrogmation (talk) 13:20, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, clarification is needed. The issue came up recently in Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Carrozas en Astillero.jpg. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 17:44, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image appears to be a copyvio from Flickr.[3] This image was uploaded to the English Wikipedia by the same editor over a previously deleted image, that itself was a copyvio,[4] using a different user name with the source of "camera". After I pointed out the inadequacy of this as a source and tagged the image he changed the source to Flickr then swapped between this version and another, that was also a copyvio, changing other data as he did. The editor requested deletion of the image, which I've had restored temporarily as an example for this nomination. He has now used another user name to upload the same image here and edited the Wikipedia article to get back in the same copyvio image. AussieLegend (talk) 05:30, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Looking at it again, this image is an obvious copyvio and qualifies for speedy delete so I've re-tagged it appropriately. Of course, I won't be surprised to see the image reverted to the originally uploaded image, which is a copyvio from Youtube, as was done here. --AussieLegend (talk) 19:30, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Commons:Scope? Looks a lot like advertisement. -- Cecil (talk) 08:39, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

it looks like a advertisement because it is a advertisement parody Georg Drewnenbauer (talk) 08:50, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Have you read Commons:Scope? Could you please tell for what this image should be used in the wikimedia projects? And something else: have you made the fotograph of the guy (footballer?) yourself? -- Cecil (talk) 08:52, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
yes. pl:parodia, en:parody... . yes Georg Drewnenbauer (talk) 08:55, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You still have not answered the question if you have made the foto of the guy yourself. -- Cecil (talk) 09:13, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I did. First "yes" goes to "have you read c:scope", examples goes to "for what..." and the second "yes" goes for "have you made fotograph by yourself". 83.21.16.102 09:16, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Then how do you explain that the image was used at several other pages like profile pages for footballers? Please provide either the picture in its original size and/or a version with the EXIF-data to proove your claim. -- Cecil (talk) 09:20, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

should be discussed as uploader has same name as artist and should be contacted --WayneRay (talk) 23:07, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's correct. The copyrights-holder Elfriede Knesl is the dauther of the artist Hans Knesl and I have uploaded the image on her order. --Skipper69 (talk) 07:40, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Häh? The uploaders name is Wolfgang, the artists name is Hans, the authors name is Elfriede. Where are they the same name, Wayne? And he now even told that he is not the copyright-holder. So where is the OTRS-ticket? That this is necessary is not only written at the upload form but also was already told him at his talk page. -- Cecil (talk) 11:14, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Part of a promotional campaign. Unless evidence proves otherwise, I would say that this is not "permanently located", so that FOP does not apply. The Wikipedia article on traditional pinatas, says "children try to break the piñata in order to collect the sweets " : these are usually nothing permanent, then. Teofilo (talk) 15:30, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep This has to be one of the most poorly thought out rationales for deletion I've ever run across.
  1. The photograph was taken in Mexico and its license is compliant to Mexican FoP laws, read: an installation in a public space.
  2. No statue or art installation is permanent, many will be simply destroyed to make room for something else. The impermanence of all things may appeal to the nominator's existential inclinations, but it is a stupid reason to decide that a specific work may not be licensed because it is not eternal.
  3. Evidence? Again, philosophical considerations aside, a photograph of a gigantic papier-mâché facsimile of a stylized horse is self-evident.
  4. All photographs in Category:Piñatas include impermanent artistic work. Shall we categorically ban all piñatas from the Commons?
  5. Come to think of it, this is not even a functional piñata as there's no candy inside. No kid is going to attempt to flog this dead horse.

no author, no valid license, obviously a piece of art that is only a couple of decades old AndreasPraefcke (talk) 16:15, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since there is an alternative image of the saint available, although disappointingly it incorporates less of the symbolism, and because I am no longer certain what led me to tag with the licence {{PD-Art}} , I will tag for deletion as the uploading editor. I will ensure next time that I do document nmy reasoning more thoroughly. --Matilda (talk) 06:15, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is clearly a horizontally flipped, edited version of [5] this copyrighted image, which itself was previously removed from WP for copyvio. --Mfield (talk) 01:15, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not going to argue the point about what it IS, but here is the story: We have had a number of discussions about whether or not the original of this image was free for public use, for which I made (I think, at least) the convincing argument that it was made free by the copyright holder for public use as a promotional gift to the web audience at large, with no restrictions on its use. My first attempt to put it directly on WP was rejected on this argument. So, my reasoning is that since it was free for public use, I as a member of that public, had the freedom under copyright to take it, modify it artistically (which I did), and then upload it to WP as my own work. This is virtually the same, in my view, as taking a number of music samples and creating an original work that is then given away for free.

Now, the argument has been, why don't you just get (or take) a free image, or ask the copyright holder of this image to grant free use? Well, I've explained previously that my getting a free image is impossible for all intents and purposes, given the subject's reclusive nature (though he does not explicitly prohibit any image from his web site from being used), and my distance from his location. Secondly, on WP members' advice, I mailed the request TWICE, and it was ignored. Not REFUSED, but IGNORED.

Now, it's not personally important to me at all whether or not WP HAS an image for this article; I was simply trying to improve the article. If the community has a PRACTICAL suggestion for obtaining a free use image that I have not tried, I would be glad to do so, or if there is a member who lives near Somerset, England who would like to try getting a free use image of Mr. Bilk, great. Otherwise, it looks to me as if the conditions regarding images on WP preclude any practically obtainable image of this subject being used. I'm really not trying to be sarcastic or violate the rules, or insult anyone trying to enforce the rules; that would be stupid of me. I'm simply at a loss as to how to accomplish getting a free use image given the rules; I believe that promotional material should be exempt, given that it is by definition freely given to promote the subject.--RogerR00 (talk) 06:34, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment I dont think the requirement for a free-image requires somebody to create it straight away just the fact that a free image could be created at some point (however difficult) is all that is required. Most people who release promotional material do not normally allow others to use it commercially so free to the public is not the same as Public Domain and free for anybody to use for any purpose. MilborneOne (talk) 22:48, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Correct, the fact that something is needed does not violating copyright to get it. As a living (and performing) person, he could and has been be photographed in public and thus public domain imagery is freely available. The inability to locate it does not mean it does not exist. Mfield (talk) 23:53, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, folks, I give up on this one...I really have tried to get it in a way that meets the spirit and letter of WP's image rule. Hopefully somebody else will get it someday. I'm on record that this rule is too stringent to meet in this instance. MilbourneOne, I agree with your "most people" point, but contend that Bilk doesn't follow that description in this case, and argue that this should be taken into consideration, but apparently this rule allows zero flexibility. "Zero Flexibility" seems to fly in the face of WP principles, in my opinion, and will box WP into an untenable position at some point. Mfield, I can't locate it, so delete it if you must, but I contend that what you are deleting now is my own artistically created image, so I hope this doesn't bring WP to a complete standstill where "you can't get there from here". Not entirely joking. Thanks for the help, all.--RogerR00 (talk) 04:10, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep Um... badly incorrect. Photos of buildings are allowed, and it is most certainly a public place.

  •  Keep Carl is right. There is FOP for public buildings in the US and that is the point. The museum is certainly a public building whether or not it charges money for admission. Virtually all public museums charge admission today. Even my small local city museum in Canada charges an admittance fee. German law does Not apply to US buildings...just as Canadian law does not apply to German buildings. US FOP unambiguously says: "Anyone may take photographs of buildings from public places.

To tell the truth, I am sick of fighting all of the ever increasing restrictions that keep getting added to all the Wikipedia/media sites. At the rate the rules lawyers are going, all you will be able to post pictures of is rocks, sky, and water, but only if those items are not on the sovereign soil or in the airspace of some nation on the planet Earth.
For all I care, you can delete anything I have ever added to either site. Enjoy your text only websites...while you can. Someday, a rules lawyer will find a way to rule out the combination of a vowel next to a consonant and get all text banned as well.

Actually, I was referring to the people involved in the Wiki projects that keep restricting the definitions of what is acceptable tighter and tighter. People upload items based on the current rules regarding what is acceptable only to have them not meet the requirements later. So they alter the license, description, media, etc. only to have someone else in the Wiki community come along later and tighten the rules even more.

This is NOT the official flag of the Italian Republic. The original flag's mid band is WHITE (HTML: FFFFFF) and not pale gray Blackcat it 15:15, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you can understand italian language, you can read Art.31 of DISPOSIZIONI GENERALI IN MATERIA DI CERIMONIALE E DISCIPLINA DELLE PRECEDENZE TRA LE CARICHE PUBBLICHE (PDF) (that is given as source of this wrong image), where italian government states the color for official textile flag of Italy. This article states also that other versions of the flag must have the same color effect of a certain Pantone color on a certain polyester fiber, and apparence of that textile with that color is truly a plain white, not dirty (pollution-soiled?)

This is not the flag of Italy. The middle color should be white, not grey. 8 people asked for its deletion at the previous deletion request and only the uploader said keep. The decision was closed keep because of scope grounds. I submit that an inaccurate version of a real flag is not within the scope when it is used in articles where the real flag should appear. Specifically the part of COM:SCOPE that requires files to be of high quality. Bad colors on a flag image make it of poor quality and authenticity. -Nard 02:26, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean with «we think is "correct"». There are some issues that can't be secondable. Can I make a Canada flag in grey? --F l a n k e r 11:58, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
By what "we think is 'correct'", I meant what some people on Commons believe to be correct. I used "we" because it was the majority. But even a majority here shouldn't decide on images for people elsewhere. Again, we just host them. Rocket000 05:28, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It has been decided in Image talk:Flag of Italy.svg that this is not a flag of Italy, and therefore should not be included among Italian flags nor named as one.
If commons is not concerned with the correctness of the name of the flags, am I allowed to take a JollyRoger, upload it and name it "New Flag of United States/Israel/YouNameIt"? I don't think I would be allowed (and I would be against it, furthermore), just because it would be the wrong name of the image.

What flag are these people carrying? Does that image need to be deleted? There are over fifty different named shades of white. This is a squabble over a 5% difference in luminosity between two shades of white and yes, it is ridiculous. They really are just two different representations of the Italian flag. Neither of them are accurate, because conversion to RGB never is, so I don't really care which one of them you choose to use for whatever purposes you have in mind, but please find a better way to cooperate than edit warring and lodging gratuitous deletion requests for each others' images. If you (by which I mean everyone involved in the dispute) think you are not capable of doing that, let us know and we can consider other means of ensuring that the parties involved do not prolong this disruption. LX (talk, contribs) 20:25, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Are you serious or what? If you think that the difference between the two images is irrelevant, why keeping both? If you think there is no possibility to correctly convert from Pantone to RGB, why are you keeping an image which claims to be that conversion? --TcfkaPanairjdde 22:23, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm quite serious. The convention here is to keep all versions of an image unless they are exact duplicates, even if they're more or less interchangeable. As far as I can see, the uploader of the image has only claimed that he used one specific system, established and suggested by an external entity (Pantone, Inc.), for the conversion, not that it's the one and only true method or that the results will look the same everywhere.

 Comment My opinion has a zero-value here because I'm not an admin. This is a fact. But with simply logical arguments can I tell you that "Bandiera della Repubblica Italiana PMS 20060414.svg" is NOT more specific name than "Italian Flag with Pantone textile color.svg".
  • First: PMS ancronym is NOT an international or wide-used term, but a specific Pantone's industry term. So isn't univocally clear what PMS stand for, without saying that is "Pantone Matching System"....
  • Second: PMS of what? Of a Pantone textile color. My name is more specific.
  • Third: strictly speking "bandiera", cannot be a picture. "Bandiera" is only a piece of cloth that moves in the wind. My name is more correct, because it was similar to all the similar images of "bandiere" in commons... second using flag is better, because commons is international project, so using italian language isn't the better thing to do.
  • Fourth: apparence of Bandiera della Repubblica Italiana is stated by the laws, and has pure, bright, full, totally white. If you want a real "Bandiera della Repubblica Italiana" go to Rome anf take a photo of the flag over Quirinale palace, or similar istitutional place.
  • Fifth: "Flag of Italy" is more neutral term than "Flag of the Republic of Italy" that conceptually sounds like "Offical Flag of Italy" (this is so obvious, but I'm the only one that understand this concpet, I'm right? Oh sorry you don't know if I'm right or wrong, you don't use your brain for judging...)
Conclusion: Rocket000 is wrong (oh damn I say that? No, no, i don't, here right/wrong concepts don't exist in commons), actual name is not more specific than other name. It's actual name correct? No response. Commons do not require editiorial work. I can upload a photo of mine and call it "Queen Elizabeth.jpg" (cit.). Can you say I'm wrong? Really not, because, I say that my name is "Queen Elizabeth". Can you say that's false? I think you can not, because this is a mellow place (cit.), take it easy.
Obviously this image cannot be deleted (this picture is fundamental for commons). Obviously this image cannot be renamed (Reisio is the Right, Reisio is God, and he doesn't want) [Reisio, do you like to be God? I think you like a lot...].
So take it easy. This is commons, a place where all is possible, but if you hasn't the power you are a zero, and for you doing something right is impossible, because you are only a wrong-zero. All right. I don't matter. I only use my faculty to say how things are. -- ELBorgo (sms) 01:56, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, let me try again. First of all, you are aware anyone can rename images, right? No one has done it yet because the edit war wasn't about that. It was about this image being in the category, Category:Flags of Italy, and using the template {{insignia}} which says "This image shows a flag, a coat of arms, a seal or some other official insignia" (emphasis added). Renaming the file does not solve this. You guys already got it renamed from Image:Flag of Italy.svg and have a disclaimer on the image page (I'm against disclaimers, but I left this one as a hopeful compromise). And please refrain from getting personal (e.g. "Reisio, do you like to be God?", "you don't use your brain for judging", etc.). Try to stay focused on what is spoken not the speaker. Thanks. Rocket000 04:50, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And now that the image is protected, you guys took the edit-warring to the talk page[9], where editing others text is not acceptable. Rocket000 04:55, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
«you are aware anyone can rename images, right? No one has done it yet because the edit war wasn't about that» To tell the truth, I tried to rename it, but Reisio (who else), changed the name back. I am, in fact, going to propose a renaming of the image, in case this request for deletion fails.--TcfkaPanairjdde 13:44, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Eh eh eh, ELBorgo you rock!
Mhmm, I think renaming it Flag of Italy with Pantone textile colours.svg can be the solution. Resio got his flag, we got our clarification about the rendering method. --F l a n k e r 19:59, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I will gladly rename it if everyone's cool with this. My only concern is there still might be edit-warring over the things I listed above. Resio if your reading this, please comment. Rocket000 20:04, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
My sentiments can be found here and here. ¦ Reisio 20:19, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, let's go with the third option you proposed in the first link, delete the image.--TcfkaPanairjdde 21:00, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Reisio, please do not make assumptions of what others might hypothetically do. TcfkaPanairjdde, cut the sarcasm. Please, this is not helpful. As I said before, if you are not willing to work towards an agreement in this collaborative project, there are other means of ending the disruption, but neither of you will find that outcome to be in your interest. LX (talk, contribs) 23:39, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Giggy conjectured that renaming the image would have resolved the issue, and after Rocket000 detailed why that wasn't necessarily the case, I merely gave an exaggerated example to bring it into stark relief. ¦ Reisio 00:27, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Any chance of a compromised rename? Like Image:Italian flag PMS 20060414.svg (don't know Italian)? Think of how to resolve this rather than having the all-or-nothing mindset. I know it's hard sometimes, but please check yourself that you're not just holding out to make a point, which both sides already have made pretty clearly. Rocket000 04:05, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What's wrong with leaving it permanently protected as I originally uploaded it? — It's specific enough that it will never need editing. If you truly think there's a good reason to do otherwise, then do whatever you like… delete it or move it, just don't put my name on it if you do. ¦ Reisio 06:33, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of whether or not it should ever change, this is a wiki. We should only use page-protection when there's edit-warring, repeated vandalism, or with heavily used images. I'm generally against all indef protection, myself (at least in the gallery/image namespace). Reisio, I'm just trying help solve the issue. I know you feel you picked a perfectly ok name for the image, however, don't look at it like that. This isn't a matter of what's the "best" name as we all found out we can't agree; this is about resolving this issue - compromising. Others have a problem with your name, and you have a problem with their name. Why not meet 'em in the middle? Let's put aside who's right and who's wrong and come up with a third option together. Is that too much to ask? Rocket000 06:56, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's too much to ask. This file was already a compromise, and it's named exactly what it is. ¦ Reisio 07:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok then, sorry for asking. I think I'll step back from this issue and let someone else try to resolve it :) Peace. Rocket000 08:41, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, Keep (I think you know my reasons.) -Rocket000 08:46, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I have seen arguments at three different projects. They are still discussing it at it.wp. Discussion of the image resulted in a block at en.wp from Reisio's inappropriate commentary. And I have seen the multiple talk pages that argue the correctness or incorrectness of the image. I even looked up Pantone colors and found a website that explicitly stated that the colors of the textile product would be different from those shown in the electronic medium. The official Pantone color of the middle band is named "bright white" which is coded as #F1F2F1 in hexadecimal color codings. All vector images of the Italian flag on the Commons have a white band. Reisio's is the only one that has an offwhite band. This offwhite band is the electronic equivalent of the Pantone color "Bright White" which I assume in real life is not an offwhite hue. Rocket000's examples above, Image:Flag of Italy.png, Image:Nuvola Italy flag.svg, and Image:Animated-Flag-Italy.gif are really bad analogies. The first is a png form of what has been updated at Image:Flag of Italy.svg (older revisions of the SVG image show the darker green and red bands). Image:Nuvola Italy flag.svg is drawn in a way that makes it appear the flag is waving and shadows are being cast, causing different shades. Image:Animated-Flag-Italy.gif is the same, but a gif and shows the hex white. There are arguments everywhere that this particular depiction of the Italian flag is not right. Why should the Commons host an inaccurate image?—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 10:54, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not arguing anymore, but I do feel the need to point out why I listed those of images. Not as analogies of anything. The first one was to show other variations exist. And those other variations aren't being contest somehow. It's hypocritical to say there's only one "correct" interpretation and only say there's a problem with this particular version. The icon I just threw in to show it in a different form, like how the photo was used above. The last one was a joke about compromising since it alternated between white and gray. Just wanted to clarify. Rocket000 11:10, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I understand there are variations, but they are variations on the shades of red and green. It's hard to use the "shades" of white, because most turn grey or have some sort of colored tinge to them.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:40, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So, it looks like it is a useless image, not used on any project, uncorrectly named (see the conversions from Pantone to RGB) and, most probably, uploaded to make a point. Are we going to delete it, as asked by several people, or not? --TcfkaPanairjdde 19:51, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Consenus is that this is a poor version of the Italian flag. It fits the criteria of "Files that add nothing educationally distinct to the collection of images we already hold covering the same subject". The image is used nowhere in any of the wikisisters projects and is often a source for edit wars. Udonknome (talk) 03:00, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delete Repeated deletion requests should be strongly discouraged, particularly where nothing has changed since the last one. However, in this case, since the last DR Commons' Scope has been clarified, and we now have to consider whether - as alleged - this falls within the ambit of "Files that add nothing educationally distinct to the collection of images we already hold covering the same subject". The file is unused except for a couple of pages which discuss it. As we already have a perfectly good representation of the Italian flag, I would say that this one is indeed not educationally distinct unless anyone is able to point to some possible use for this particular image that could not be satisfied by the other. If a distinct use can be proposed I would be happy to change my mind, but at the moment I think the file should go. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 05:11, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The logo passes the threshold of originality. No FOP for artistic and litterary works in Japan Teofilo (talk) 14:33, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But do you still want to keep ? The trouble if this is considered artistic and original is that we must ask a permission from the artist. Teofilo (talk) 12:38, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kept. Ineligible for copyright. –Tryphon 14:06, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copyrighted by the film maker. Not permanent, therefore FOP does not apply Teofilo (talk) 14:42, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep Not an artwork so no need for freedom of panorama. It's a film set not a film. --Simonxag (talk) 19:57, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is a part of a film, telling a story. Story-telling is art. Teofilo (talk) 21:01, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It tells the story of the shooting of a film, not the film itself. One cannot copyright the production of a film, therefore  Keep Luctor 14:49, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep per Simonxag. – Ilse@ 11:57, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Kept. Hardly seems problematic; I doubt anyone would enforce copyright on a few bunker pieces. –Tryphon 14:10, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No FOP for post-1978 artworks in the USA. This was unveiled for the 1st time in Palo Alto, after 1982, although this is the NY copy, unveiled in 1992. See nycgovparks.org and SIRIS

Teofilo (talk) 20:49, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since there were multiple copies made and made available to the public, that probably counts as "published" in post-1978 law, and since copies were put up before March 1 1989 (1984 in Palo Alto), they would need a valid copyright notice on them. I'm not sure the SIRIS description is enough to determine that though. Do these statues have any inscriptions on them at all? Carl Lindberg (talk) 08:38, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Has a member of the general public who wants to buy a copy been given an opportunity to order a third copy ? Was it proposed in a gallery ? In an auction ? Lupo says (between 1978 and 1989) "Sculpture remains "unpublished" unless copies are sold, lent, etc. to the general public."  : Template_talk:PD-US-statue/proposal#Need for a bright-line rule.

It was offered to others for purposes of public display. Carl Lindberg (talk) 19:33, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This image is probably in the public domain. However, the current license is not applicable and there is not enough information in order to access the real license status. ALE! ¿…? 10:02, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's a link to a section of the map here [apfelweibla.de]. This is "der Bamberg-Karte von Braun-Hogenberg (1617)", so {{PD-Old}}. Even if the upload is copied from a modern, or even not-so-modern, reproduction, surely that's still {{PD-Art}}? The uploader has fixed the license tag.
