[edit] February 2007

Claims As a released work of the government, it is in the public domain.; however, Wikipedia:Indian copyright law says "All government work is under copyright unlike in the Work of the United States Government. This means that even information collected under the Right to Information Act may not be copied and disseminated by the recipient of such information." So this is not PD. Jpatokal 12:57, 11 January 2007 (EST)

Could be true. Still, I got the picture from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Indian_public_domain_photographs, and also the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:PD-India-Gov text suggests that it could be PD. There seems to be reason for doubt however, so I'm not gonna make a fuss about it.Jake73 13:31, 11 January 2007 (EST)

[edit] Image:Karachi - Pakistan-market.jpg

Image with a clearly identifiable man in the photo. I think the image violates privacy rights since there is no accompanying information regarding a model release. Delete. -- Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 23:05, 24 January 2007 (EST)
- The creator of this one is usually pretty responsive, so let's at least inquire about the model release before deleting it. I'll make the inquiry. -- Bill-on-the-Hill 23:07, 20 February 2007 (EST)
  - On looking at it more closely, I see that it's from Wikipedia Commons and has survived the model-release process there. However, it's CCSA 2.0 rather than 1.0, so it still looks like it's gotta go, unless someone sees something that I don't. Going once, going twice ... -- Bill-on-the-Hill 11:30, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Image:Map-South Africa-Wester Cape-Cape Peninsula.svg

This is just a typo I think (the "n" in "Western" is missing). The good one is here: Image:Map-South_Africa-Western_Cape-Cape_Peninsula.svg. --Flip666 ^writeme! • 09:32, 9 March 2007 (EST)

Delete - You are correct, that was a typo and the correct one is the one with the correct spelling --NJR ZA 14:07, 25 March 2007 (EDT)

Delete. Lacking model release. -- Ricardo (Rmx) 09:08, 27 February 2007 (EST)

[edit] Leedslad's uploads

It is probably worth checking through all Leedslad's contributions as all the pictures of leeds he has uploaded look like copyright vios, ie ~10-30kb in size, fuzzy (ie not taken with the kind of camera a tourist or photographer would have, but rather are at "internet resolution".) I would carry on going through his uploads, but I don't have time. at the moment. -- 80.5.160.5 11:24, 15 January 2007 (EST)‎

[edit] Image:Baghdad International Airport ext.jpg

Delete - I nominated this accidentally on the English version, but should be here, the following was the conversation about it over there – cacahuate ^talk 22:42, 25 March 2007 (EDT)
Delete. -- Sapphire • (Talk) • 22:43, 25 March 2007 (EDT)

Delete - Doesn't serve the traveler in any way, the mosque/helicopter picture is fantastic and says a lot, this one doesn't... I think the article will look better without... no offense Jake, you've uploaded a ton of other great photos! – cacahuate ^talk 03:42, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

Keep - nothing wrong with the image itself to warrant deletion --MiddleEastern 17:05, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

But can you give me a reason why it should be here, and describe how it in any way aids the traveler? In general images should be on the pages for a reason, not just because they happen to be taken in the place that the article is about... they should give some sort of feel for the place, or capture the essence of a certain site, etc... this one doesn't... wouldn't you agree? – cacahuate ^talk 01:44, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

I suppose so, but it doesn't really violate our copyleft, it may possibly be useful somehow in the future though I very much doubt it. --MiddleEastern 12:11, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

Delete - Not useful in a travel guide -- Paul Richter 22:37, 19 March 2007 (EDT)
Delete - useless. --Flip666 ^writeme! • 04:35, 4 April 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Image:Spacewalk.jpg

Delete - I uploaded this yesterday, but soon after found a better image to say what I was trying to say, so this one isn't necessary. – cacahuate ^talk 20:29, 7 April 2007 (EDT)
Can't we just keep this? It might be useful for some other language, in some other article or even in the Do section of the space article - assuming that spacewalking is actually something a tourist can do... I think that as a rule, we should keep images that we may use in the future. — Ravikiran r 11:44, 8 April 2007 (EDT)

I suppose it doesn't hurt to have around, but personally I think that one spacewalking image is enough in the en:Space article, and the one that's currently opening it is sooo much better... I think anyway... – cacahuate ^talk 02:15, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

I have already been up this image on Japanese Page, with the brief comment that “When will we have such wikitravelers? ” So would you please keep it? --Shoestring 10:18, 22 April 2007 (EDT)

outcome: kept – cacahuate ^talk 21:47, 24 April 2007 (EDT)
