This is an WP:INVENTED logo for the neighborhood, created by taking an image from a website and chopping it in half. It's not used in this manner anywhere outside of Wikipedia. Delete as unencyclopedic. - Eureka Lott 00:23, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: close as resolved after source, authenticity and copyright status have been ascertained. Speedy delete local file as redundant to Commons file after higher quality original image was found. Ixfd64 (talk) 02:42, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

File:U-2 pilot takes selfie with Chinese Balloon.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Buffs (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

This image from Dragon Lady Today is purported to be the selfie taken by the pilot of a U-2 that flew over the Chinese spy balloon. However, the background is said to be the San Joaquin Valley — which is nowhere near the balloon's flight path. In other words, this photo may be fake and therefore out of scope. See talk:2023 Chinese balloon incident#U-2 Selfie for more details. Furthermore, the copyright status is unclear because there is no information about the actual source. Someone on Twitter asked the webmaster to ask about the image's provenance, to which no response has been given. And even assuming this image is real, the pilot likely took it for fun and not as part of their official duties. Ixfd64 (talk) 00:50, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see no evidence it’s from said Valley, just an anonymous claim on a Wikipedia talk page; (edit: add) as mentioned below, it's got a positive geolocation in Missouri. As for the source, by definition, it is a serviceman literally taking a picture of his job while on duty and clearly meets the criteria as a PD image. Whether or not it was “for fun” is irrelevant per US code; no known exception is made. The pilot cannot claim both flight hours and that he "wasn't on duty" when taking the photo.

If there were some doubt (such as the possibility of a photographer not in the US Department of Defense), I could understand, but the U-2 is a single seat aircraft (except the trainer...and even then, both instructor and pilot are on duty and they do not give rides to photographers nor allow cameras to be placed there by others). Futhermore, even classified photos and documents are in the public domain when it comes to copyright law (a weird oddity)...they simply aren't available to anyone without a clearance, but they are not copyrighted... copyright stuff is weird...

 Comment: This article from MSN suggests at least one of the aircraft might have been the two-seat TU-2S. However, this shouldn't make a difference because I don't think they'd allow non-military personnel to ride along on a spy plane. Ixfd64 (talk) 19:59, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment: I've seen U.S. military images deleted on Commons because they might have been taken by personnel in their leisure time. I wonder if we should revisit some of those cases. Ixfd64 (talk) 20:01, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think so. "In the performance of their duties" is part of the general criteria, though it's certainly a gray area as to when those are duties. If someone dies enroute to their home from the base, it's usually determined to be "in the line of duty" for purposes of death benefits. Driving around town? Same. Drunk and throwing haymakers...not so much, usually. When that would apply to copyright? I have no idea. If we are sticking with when we KNOW they were on duty, then this is a clear, bright line.

Here's the DVIDS information on the image: https://www.dvidshub.net/image/7644960/u-2-pilot-over-central-continental-united-states RickyCourtney (talk) 21:41, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Overwrote the problimatic version of the image (which looked like it was shot off a screen) from Dragon Lady Today with the actual image from DVIDS. RickyCourtney (talk) 21:46, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nice find. Somehow my search for "U-2" didn't turn up any relevant results. Ixfd64 (talk) 21:55, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
