Commons:Deletion requests/File:UConn Greater Hartford Campus Spring 2010.jpg
dubious copyright status. Image seems to be directly pulled from rotating lead banner at the college's website at http://hartford.uconn.edu/ Crazypaco (talk) 04:35, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Yes, it is on the banner, and as I am the webmaster and photographer for this campus, I have full rights to use this photo in any and all, printed or digital material to promote or represent the university interests. Also, the photograph does not contain anything that prevents me from releasing this image under the cc license, rather it is more appropriate, not dubious. Tumharyyaaden.
- That's cool if you do own the rights. Typically, such photos are property of the university, not the photographer, as they are work performed by the photographer in service of their employer (the university). In fact, the webpage hosting the banner explicitly says "All documents, webpages, photographs and images are the property of the University of Connecticut, except where noted. Permission is required to copy, download or use any text, photographs or image files." That indicates that the photos are owned by, and a copyrighted claimed by UConn, and that only UConn has the authority to release it to a CC license, although I take you at your word that you have full authority to release the photo on a CC license on behalf of UConn. You should consider an OTSR ticket to avoid any confusion, or at least expand on the situation it in the license tag on the photo page, because on first appearance, it looks like a classic copyright rip from a webpage (especially since the text overlay is intact, it is the identical resolution to the web site, and there is no metadata). I won't be the last to assume that, and some may put it up for speedy delete if they run across it. In any case, on good faith, I thereby withdrawal my deletion request, and will make note of such for the others. Crazypaco (talk) 08:02, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Per nom, although even with OTRS permission, I think that the banner across the center of the image puts it out of scope. Deleted. Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 14:00, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
