This is Crown Copyright --Abu badali 18:40, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Delete I think the restrictions placed on the use of these images are incompatible with commons licensing requirements [1] although commercial use is allowed (with restrictions) Madmax32 20:29, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- I was addressing the concerns of the nominator. Crown Copyright, generally, isn't accepted on the Commons. The only exceptions is when the copyright has expired. So, if the concern brought up is about copyright, then I presented a solution to solve it. We can explain about how we use images and what our definition is. The only hickup I can see is the images of the Crown "must be free from advertisement." I do not know if Google Ads on the side of websites would count or not, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Hmm, I see... well it looks like use of that file will cause too much puzzling over copyright... I'm replacing the file with an old Canadian stamp image; postal stamp images from that country are public domain after 50 years. When I get the proper crop done I'll upload the final image. account owner
We pretty much have from 1952 until 1956 that we can work with. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 06:21, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Done Okey dokey, we should be good to go now. It still counts as an official image because it was a government-commissioned engraving. account owner
- And Crown Copyright lasts 50 years after creation in Canada. Alright, fair enough. I will see if the nominator of the deletion request agrees. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 05:05, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
- Kept - image replaced. Patstuart 21:46, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
