Files in Category:Files from Graham Richardson Flickr stream

[edit]

After finding this users images on Flickr ... and realizing quite alot of his images aren't his ([1][2][3][4] (Amazingly some have been taken off Google too!),
I don't believe we can trust this reuploader and I have a feeling a few images in this lot aren't his either - He's got alot of copyrighted images on his Flickr page and all under the "Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)"
As a side note I have sent a long message to Flickr (via the report abuse thing) but as it stands we don't actually know what is this uploaders and what isn't,
Thanks,

  •  Keep The above images are a tiny fraction of the images uploaded, and I see no reason in particular to single these ones out. The majority of images uploaded to his Flickr stream are probably his own work. Yes he has a tendency to upload images by other people, and "release" under a free license when he does not have ability to do so. However, he does at least attribute when it is from someone else.
Also EXIF is very useful in this sort of situation. For information, I've zapped a ton of the copyvio files (see my deletion log).--Nilfanion (talk) 23:23, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Those were the first I found and looking through his Flickr there's hell of alot more, "are probably his own work - See with the greatest of respect even you can't be sure that they're his own work,
I assumed the stuff on the images was the work of the actual uploader not him?, How can we be sure that the images above are actually his and not one's he's taken from someone else ?,
If you take other peoples work and reupload it under a free license (credited to the uploader or not) then that tells me this individual cannot be trusted nor can anyone be sure that his images on the place aren't someone elses work entirely, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 23:36, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well I've picked File:2012_Plymouth_Hoe_bus_rally_P1110014_(7624676788).jpg at complete random and the exif data states the author is " Plymothian Transit" and the copyright holder being "Plymothian Transit under creative commons licence" so unless he owns the website/name then it's a copyvio ? .... I can't prove he doesn't own it but as far as I can see he's never said anywhere that he does so I'm inclined to think copyvio however I may be totally wrong, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 23:40, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WITHDRAWN Probably should've checked the exif data before mass-nominating the lot!, Seeing the copyright thing I think I just saw alarm bells ringing & thus nominated the lot, Needless to say I'll check EXIFs in future!, Thanks –Davey2010Talk 23:45, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: Nomination withdrawn. --Nilfanion (talk) 23:52, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
