[edit]

Valid source is missing. The uploader states in fact that US Embassy staff is the author of this photograph with the proof "acknowledged in photo caption" - but there is no caption shown. And just stating "US Embassy staff in commission of duties (acknowledged in photo caption)" is not enough - anybody could say that. The uploader must give more details on the source (book/magazine title, etc.). 80.187.106.77 12:41, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Keep -- The uploader is citing a book, as this google search shows. I believe a scan of an image from a book, where the book attributes the image to a public domain source is perfectly acceptable for use here. It is possible for a deceitful newcomer to falsely claim an image scanned from a book is in the public domain, when it is not, in fact, in the public domain? Sure. But Sherurcij has, over the last five years, uploaded thousands of valid, compliant images. So I am prepared to take his assertion that the image was credited to a public domain source at face value.
