[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 12:40, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep According to the pic it's from [1]. I don't find it unlikely that such a book would print us-gov images. --DieBuche (talk) 20:29, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep -- Nominator cut and paste identical nominations for half a dozen other images. [2], [3], [4], [5], [6] I agree with DieBuche that it is perfectly reasonable for the book to use PD images. Is it 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, our uploader, 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. Geo Swan (talk) 23:38, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
