File:Polo England 1915 circa.png (delete | talk | history | logs).

• While this image "may" be from 1915 (although the source doesn't specify or hint at a date), but is, according to the source, an image from a private collection (note also the signatures on the picture, suggesting that this is a one-off). If this image wasn't published before 1923 (and we have evidence to suggest that it wasn't), and we don't know when the photographer died, then the image has to be assumed to be copyrighted.

File:Frederick William Rowe.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs).

• File listed as being ca. 1910, without any evidence to support this. Image from findagrave, without prior source. Unknown whether this image was even published originally or not (which changes the copyright limits: if taken before 1923 but not published before 1923, the date of first publication comes into play here). There is a fair chance that the file is PD, but that isn't sufficient: we need certainty. Fram (talk) 14:54, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File:Samuel Arthur Weiss.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs).

• No evidence given at all for why this image would be public domain. Source is Findagrave, date is fairly probably post-1923 (subject is born in 1902), no evidence of who was the photographer or where this picture was first published. Nothing to support a PD license here. Fram (talk) 14:26, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Addendum: it seems possible that the Findagrave file was taken from [1]: that site gives a 1943 date. Fram (talk) 14:46, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's possible I erred in the route I chose to upload via the Wizard. The original Flickr source is George Clark, aka "Bhudhadog", a friend of our family. I am Ray Burggraf's daughter, and have an e-mail in my file from George (Bhudhadog), allowing me to publish the photo. The following, below I have copied directly from my e-mail,from buddhadog via Flickr (I have deleted personal information at the end of the message to protect his privacy:

"Hi Global Microscope!

buddhadog has sent you a message on Flickr. Subject: Re: Photos of Ray Burggraf Date: 24th February, 2013

Dear Elizabeth,

Well, what a surprise to receive this Flickr mail from you. You most certainly have my permission to use and post any of the photos that I have on Flickr.

Actually, I'm kind of old school and would like to talk with you over the phone if that is OK. I wanted to not only catch up on some things; but also tell you about some other photos that I have on Flickr. Please send me your phone number.

Sincerely and Towards Peace of Mind,

George Clark aka buddhadog"

Stefan, how would you recommend I proceed? Thanks!!Global Microscope (talk) 23:05, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You need to contact OTRS. See WP:CONSENT. In most cases, permission is needed from both the artist and the photographer. Since the artist appears on many of the photos, the aritst can't be the photographer. --Stefan2 (talk) 23:16, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ummm....Actually, yes. Ray Burggraf takes photos of himself and his work using a time-delay on the digital camera. (He's complained to me several times about how difficult this is!) Anyway, I also have express permission from the artist (Ray Burggraf) to use the photos, and I think I can dig them up in my e-mail. If not, I'd be happy to have him send a new one. Should I contact him again, and have him send an e-mail directly to OTRS? (this is my first article...)Global Microscope (talk) 23:20, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that you ask Ray Burggraf to mail OTRS himself. --Stefan2 (talk) 00:47, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK thanks. OTRS should receive an e-mail from the artist (Ray Burggraf) in the next 24 - 48 hrs...depending upon whether or not he can put his paintbrush down long enough to answer the phone.  :)Global Microscope (talk) 16:45, 15 March 2013 (UTC) Update: Ray L.

Update2: This evening (Friday, March 13), artist Ray L. Burggraf--the creator of the work depicted in the file, Ray_Burggraf_installing_new_work.jpg--sent an e-mail to the permissions-en division of Wikipedia. The message contains proof of identity including a link to his official website with contact info that matches the e-mail address of origin, received by Wikipedia. The message also assigns Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 to each work by Ray Burggraf, depicted in files uploaded by me (Global Microscope). OTRS has also received an e-mail containing permission from the original Flickr source in question, "buddhadog". Thank you very much for your assistance.

• This image has been deleted previously, although perhaps not under the identical name. The permission appears to be suspect given the EXIF data and the poor edging. If the uploader did take this photo of such significant subjects when they "covered the event through for a leading newspaper" then I would think it likely that they would be a professional photographer and would be able to produce a less ragged border and less skewed image within it. It may also be that the copyright resides with the newspaper rather than the photographer, although I know this is by no means always the case or perhaps even usually the case. OTRS is an absolute minimum requirement here but my gut suggests deletion as PUF. Sitush (talk) 21:40, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• The image is on the subject's Lok Sabha biography page, so I think it's unlikely that the uploader took this photo. Dianna (talk) 23:26, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Keep - the in-uniform-portrait appearance of the image means that it is very unlikely not to be an official US Navy photograph. In the unlikely event that we are incorrect about this, the rights holder may certainly let us know with another deletion request (at which point we will delete it in good faith) or via a DMCA takedown notice.

• The uploader states that the photo was taken in 1920, but there's no evidence that the image was published before 1923 as claimed in the license template. We don't have an article on the person in the photo so there's no possibility for a fair-use claim. Dianna (talk) 23:31, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • It also says that it is ((PD-USGov-Military-Navy)). Unfortunately, the source doesn't tell where this particular photo comes from, although several of the other photos are credited to the navy. --Stefan2 (talk) 00:41, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain how it could ever be disputed when I provided extremely detailed traceability to and from this photograph (and all) which is from a free historical educational reference - just as I am doing with this entire page. IT is VITAL this information be shared and also that Wikipedia also verifies the accuracy of printed information as much as it appears to be with media. User:Rocketrosy VMURPHY 15-May-2013 20:39 EST

It also states he was the Commanding Officer and the First Flight Officer of United States Naval Air Station Sand Point Washington STATE. IT IS ABSOLUTELY A NAVAL PHOTOGRAPH AND HIS IS A WWl MEDAL OF HONOR, UNITED STATES NAVAL AVIATOR AWARDEE. HE WAS PULLED OUT OF RETIREMENT IN 1920 TO START THIS BASE. THIS PHOTOGRAPH IS FROM WHEN HE WAS AT THE START UP OF THIS COMMAND. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rocketrosy (talk • contribs)

It says that it was taken by the Navy, but there is no way to verify this claim. He may have been to a photographer outside the Navy.

You added a template which says that this was published before 1923, but you didn't provide any evidence of this. If it was published in a book, then you need to indicate the title, author and year of publication. If it was published in a newspaper, then you need to include the name of the newspaper and the date of publication. Otherwise, your claims can't be verified. --Stefan2 (talk) 00:50, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It was not published in a book or if it ever was, it is long long gone. I was lucky to locate this because of the fact the US really kept terrible records of WWl, which was the birth of US Naval Aviation. I gave the US Navy Museums (Washington DC, Pensacola, FL, United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD) one of the very first cruisebooks from World War l, only as recently as last year. The only reason I even had that was because a very kind person in Wexford, Ireland thought I would be able to share this - as I have. The only reason I was able to find this "free" photo was because I was able to discovery that Lt. Beswick was requested by the Secretary of the Navy to come out of retirement to start NAS Sand Point in 1920. It is very important that Mr. Beswick, Mr. Herbster, Mr. Garvey and all others are not forgotten like most were in the "Great War", which is more like the "Forgotten War" and it just should not be so...not ever. http://books.google.com/books?id=qsoLAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q=BESWICK&f=false

CC-BY-NC-ND is not a free licence. --Stefan2 (talk) 12:54, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As User:Stefan2 said above, this is not a suitable free licence. It contains a condition that makes it incompatible with Wikipedia policy. It's the line "Noncommercial — You may not use this work for commercial purposes." Wikipedia policy is that although Wikipedia is itself a non-commercial site that all images need to be freer than that and not limited to non-commercial re-use (see Wikipedia:Image use policy#Free licenses). I do sympathise with the frustration this causes as most of us have been in similar positions with images that we really want to use but can't because we can't establish their copyright status. NtheP (talk) 23:17, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

None of that stuff is irrelevant - this image clearly doesn't have a Creative Commons license. If someone wants to contact the source website and ask them if they know if this image was either published before 1923 or published by the Navy, that's probably the only way this is getting resolved in a way that doesn't involve deleting the image. --B (talk) 20:37, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In any case, the Historylink release statement quoted says "Please note that this Creative Commons license applies to text only, and not to images (my emphasis), For more information regarding individual photos or images, please contact the source noted in the image credit." JohnCD (talk) 18:45, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They almost certainly don't own the image anyway. It's not their's to license. The one interesting thing is that on their page, they note that a lot of photos are "courtesy US Navy", but not this one. (Obviously, if it were from the US Navy, it's public domain.) So that makes me not want to say, "well, it's obviously a Navy photo - just go with it". --B (talk) 21:16, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
