There's no evidence it was published before 1923, so more information is required to assume it's in the public domain. NE2 (talk) 18:12, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
- It says Pre1907 on the caption, refer back to enwiki? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:17, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
- Pre-1907 is when it was created, which means nothing with respect to copyright (except indirectly as imposing a rough upper bound of around 2000 on the death of the author). --NE2 (talk) 22:16, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
- I've also added an e-mail address that leads to a member of the history department of the Patchogue-Medford Library for more information. I don't know why you never considered using it before tagging the image for deletion. In any case, I've written to the Patchogue-Medford Library myself to request some pre-1923 publication dates, and I'm still waiting for a reply. ----DanTD (talk) 01:59, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
- Here's another link that proves this bridge was built in 1907, which means the image was taken before then. ----DanTD (talk) 02:10, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
- You don't understand; the date the photo was taken has no bearing on its copyright status. We need to know when it was published. --NE2 (talk) 04:20, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
- If you had read my earlier post, you'd see that I do understand. Why won't you write to Patchogue-Medford Library for more info, if you haven't done so already. The address is right there in the image description. ----DanTD (talk) 11:46, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
- It's not up to us to prove that the image you uploaded is public domain. --NE2 (talk) 13:04, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Well, you are the one who is casting doubts about whether it is or not. ----DanTD (talk) 19:08, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
