This image is missing San Miguel in what is now Canada. The Louisiana Territory went over the Canadian border as well. --99.226.115.81 01:25, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So what?! This is meaningless to Wikimedia, education and history. People may confuse this for the truth. --99.226.115.81 02:13, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep The study of popular literature is part of education, and the idea that people may confuse a map clearly labeled as one of a fictional world as fact is ludicrous; I'm much more worried that someone might confuse File:Impeach Warren.png or the likes, things that actually have a connection to the world, as real.--Prosfilaes (talk) 03:03, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We already have other images of the German colonial Empire, many being used, and this one isn't. Furthermore, Burma was still part of british India, Mongolia was still part of China, the Ottoman Empire was in control of the east and west rims of Saudi Arabia, Ecador and Peru had different borders between each other until 1918, and most importantly Germany did not control all of present day Papua New Guinea in the South Pacific. --Maps & Lucy (talk) 02:17, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Images of characters/objects/scenes in books are subject to any copyright on the book itself. You cannot freely create and distribute a drawing of Albus Dumbledore any more than you could distribute your own Harry Potter movie. In either case you need permission from the author to create a derivative work.

This is a recent upload which failed flickr review for having a 'Non-Commercial' restriction Leoboudv (talk) 04:26, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This Flickr user has recently changed the licences on all his photos from the original cc-by-2.0 to no-commercial use. What counts is what the licence was at the time the image was accessed and loaded to Commons i.e. 6 months ago, when they were all cc-by-2.0. Otherwise I wouldn't have used them. Flickr is incorrect to allow retrospective licence changes, it has no valididy as a licence releases the work under its terms, and once released the ownner loses the right to reclaim it. Rcbutcher (talk) 05:07, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That was a big mistake I was making for over a year, sorry. I thought the Flickr Review detected the uploads from Flickr automatically, I didn't realise I had to use the review tag... a reviewer recently told me about it and I updated a lot of my uploads with the tag. Rcbutcher (talk) 13:48, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kept. Uploader has many uploads but only few deleted images. Most of the deleted images are dupes. It seems obvious to me that uploader knows if a license is ok or not. MGA73 (talk) 13:42, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They are still copyrighted.

Keep. Unless a copyright violation can be identitifed then the video should receive the benefit of the doubt. The video plays an important role on the "Bikini waxing" article on the English Wikipedia. Due to the intimate nature of the procedure it is difficult to locate footage demonstrating the process, so it would be unfortunate to lose the video unless we are sure it violates copyright. Betty Logan (talk) 23:35, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm. Very useful video but does seem like a bit from a broadcast or something. Did anyone try to contact the author or do video searches on google or etc? Nesnad (talk) 16:30, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. In the absence of anything but hypothesis to the contrary, I'm inclined to trust the uploader's claim of rights to the clip. Avram (talk) 01:31, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
http://www.fehairandbeauty.com/ found via google by looking up "fe london" - the users name. This might lead to the copyrights owner.
Keep. I found the video very useful and informative. Unless concrete and verifiable reasons are found to delete it, it should stay. Cynthiamonstertalk 03:52, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
