Commons:Deletion requests/File:Healy caldera, bathymetry.jpg
Per ...on a deletion I requested and which you carried out. Back then the file page said that it was "courtesy of Ian Wright" but at some point a Public domain dedication was added to the website, akin to Template:Cc-zero . Now I am not sure if this is the website copyright tag sloppiness often seen, or if it may indicate that somewhere between 2020 and 2022 they got a copyright licence agreement with Ian Wright and the New Zealand organizations to release the files as CC-0. Where would the ideal place be for such a discussion? There is also a similar image here that might have the same problem. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:04, 23 April 2022 (UTC) :The license now shown is not CC-0, but simply the Public Domain Mark, which is essentially meaningless and not acceptable on Commons. All it says is that someone has decided that the image is PD, but that person explicitly does not warrant the correctness of the information. A PDM can be revoked or changed at any time. . Jim . . .

Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:05, 24 April 2022 (UTC) :::Yes, although there may be some pushback. We don;t have a problem with the PDM if the author applies it, but that's not clear. . Jim . . .

- If you believe the Smithsonian is wrong about the copyright of images they claim and use, I'm sure they'd appreciate a notification. Perhaps they can also clarify why they believe the image to be public domain (for example, because they know whether the creator was employed by the US government).

- Got "That came from NOAA, a US Government agency." back which I've forwarded to the permissions queue. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:54, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Keep I can confirm that ticket:2022042610010749 does have forwarded email with "That came from NOAA, a US Government agency." That said we at VRTS as a rule do not trust forwarded permissions as they can be easily created or altered. However in case of this email I have no reason to believe that any tampering happen. I do not thing statement like "courtesy of Ian Wright" is incompatible with PD designation. It just means that that person was the source. We co have Template:PD-USGov-NOAA template. which I think would be appropriate for this file. --Jarekt (talk) 02:58, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
Kept: per jarekt. --Sanandros (talk) 19:27, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
