I seriously doubt this can have any educational value, but I might miss the context. A clear source would be nice, too. Eusebius (talk) 07:32, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm changing a speedy deletion request into a regular one. The nominator requested deletion with the following message: 
I sayA bit embarassing, really. I uploaded this as a snarky/trolly picture for use on a pseudoscience article when I first joined Wikipedia. I regret the action now, and have improved my editing behaviour. This file serves no purpose. In addition, I doubt the source was free use. It would be best for the project to delete it.

Info BTW it is unused now. --Eusebius (talk) 08:36, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
- an observation; the "hollow moon" article @ en/wp isn't using this image anymore, true. but now there is no image illustrating a "hollow moon"; only a cross-section schematic of the presumed actual interior of the moon which, by itself on this article, could be somewhat confusing, especially for readers unskilled in english. do we have any other "hollow moon" images? can we find/get/create one for this article? if not, i'm voting a conditional keep & try to get the rights sorted out. it's not a terribly creative image, simple wireframed 3-d geometry, with a small amount of text; not sure there's enough there to claim copyright on anyway (obviousness, lack of originality). to be clear; if we have a better image to illustrate the article with, i favour that option. otherwise, i suggest keeping this one, & returning it to "in-use" status @ hm.

- Scope inclusion cannot be used to bypass copyright issues. The image is clearly copyrightable, the uploader admitted he was not the author and it is currently unsourced. --Eusebius (talk) 14:08, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
- well i disagree about the copyrightability of the image, but it's not really a very good pic for the article anyway. so, can we make with a new "hollow moon' picture? there's gotta be something in our collection...? (kind of busy with other work, don't have time to go on a hunt for this; sorry) Lx 121 (talk) 17:12, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
- I seriously created this picture as an immature trolling of the conspiracy theorists at hollow moon. I googled "hollow sphere" and took the first suitable result, then GIMPed it (poorly, might I add. The perspective is all wrong). IIRC, it came from some math page. I'm almost certain I had no rights to use it. In addition, it's pointless. It serves no encyclopedic value whatsoever. BTW, here's where it came from. Under the licensing tab, it says "Licensing information will follow shortly. In the interim, please contact." We may be able to request rights to some of the images, and, given the nature of the site, I don't think they'd have a problem with it, but this was ripped straight from the site with no permission whatsoever.
