File:Nascalines of Peru.jpg

The image has only a low resolution and there are no valid EXIF information. It is highly likely not the uploader's own work. High Contrast (talk) 16:33, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep [Looks like Fastily didn't notice there is a DR about this pic. The DR was not properly closed, so I prefer to discuss the issue here -- it could be moved to UDR, of course.]
Lack of high-res and EXIF per se is not a proof of any wrongdoing, it's just a signal to look on the upload closely. The user uploads all the pictures in low resolution, and EXIF removed, including obviously personal ones like e.g. this or this. That's just his workflow -- he use Picasa before uploading to resize them to 480x*, and it removes the relevant metadata. Giving that the user was never caught in stealing of other people photos (while he uploaded hundreds of them), I believe to him. --Trycatch (talk) 11:09, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
+He has numerous photos from Peru, numerous photos of remembrances from Peru (some with original Canon 500D EXIF kept), so it's absolutely believable that he indeed made these photos from a plane. Trycatch (talk) 11:31, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe that. Consider that it is the only aerial image he uploaded. --High Contrast (talk) 14:05, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Not at all, he uploaded the whole bunch of Nasca lines -- 1, 2, 3. All of them probably were created in the same flight. None of them has any google or tineye hit. Actually, there is hardly a reason to suspect the user in something wrong -- this is a popular landmark among tourists, there are lot of cheap air tours over Nazca lines. You can see in Category:Nazca lines that the subject is not uncommon by any stretch, and a lot of different users uploaded similar photos. Trycatch (talk) 14:46, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You missed it. I never doubted that it is impossible to take such images - I cannot imagine you you came on that. I just doubt that 1, 2, 3 were created by the uploader due to the very small image res and no EXIF. Besides, the question remains if User:Toilet has the permission of "Peter van der Sluijs" to upload Peter's images here under a free license. --High Contrast (talk) 15:14, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The user uploaded >1000 pictures. Almost all of them have 480px or 640px resolution, ~half have no EXIF (the most of the rest have Canon 500D camera EXIF). This picture is no different from the whole bulk of uploads. He doesn't look like a copyvio uploader, his contributions look perfectly legitimate (albeit downscaled). If this is a copyvio -- this is a copyvio of a huge scale, that should be easily discoverable, but we don't see anything like this. What about the identity of User:Toilet, I think this beyond any reasonable doubt -- actually, at first he signed his photos as Toilet (e.g. this), then he changed the signature to Peter van der Sluijs.
