• Lean to keep. While it might be a crop of the same photo (also apparently treated and made monochrome), the visual effect created by the very different framing is very different compared to the "European" cover. This one is much tighter, much tenser, and in my view is a much higher impact photo. Given that the two photos have such different feel; and also that a case may well be made for seeing this one as the more primary, widely distributed image, my instinct is that the image does add something significant to the article over and above the other, so should be kept.

• Keep. The image is a historically significant photo of a famous couple, as verified in content and sources within the article; the image is only being used for informational purposes; and its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because the photo and its historical significance are the object of discussion in the article.

Thanks, Cind.amuse 17:38, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• To pass WP:NFCC #8, you need to be able to explain what it is that this image adds to reader understanding that would justify our using it here (and would justify it in a U.S. court of law), when we do not have the copyright holder's permission. Policy deliberately leaves open what that justification might be; but it has to be something real and significant, that one learns from seeing the photo, which otherwise one wouldn't understand just from the text of the article. Jheald (talk) 15:22, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep That suggestion just above poses a dilemma--if we can explain it in words, we wouldn't need the picture. This argument can be used to remove all fair use content, and is therefore contrary to the policy that fair use content can be acceptable. The picture is there to indicate the nature of the relationship in a way that can only be described by pictures. DGG ( talk ) 23:58, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  No. One can (and should) indicate what aspect of the topic it is that one believes the picture is improving reader understanding with respect to, even if one can't communicate what that improved understanding is without it. For example, you are already saying it is the nature of the relationship that the image helps communicate, which is a start. But can you clarify further what about the nature of the relationship the reader will understand better as a result of seeing this photo? That is what is really needed to make an NFCC #8 case. If you can do that, and the claim isn't convincingly rebutted, then the image should be kept. Jheald (talk) 19:30, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. They were a couple, sure, and her fame is no doubt mostly due to him. However, just because it's important, doesn't mean that a non-free image is needed- we have to ask whether the image adds anything to the article itself. It's not at all clear that it does. A free image of Ringo would be suitable to use in its place- he doesn't stop being her husband just because she's not in shot. J Milburn (talk) 17:27, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary non-free magazine cover. It's existence is just barely mentioned in one of the two articles it's used in. Damiens.rf 18:51, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Definitely inappropriate on Events leading to the Falklands War. Possibly appropriate on Falklands War, where the purpose is to contrast the spirit of mass-media reporting in Argentina, the UK, and the U.S. Jheald (talk) 15:27, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't get it. Isn't the headlines what really matters there? There's general mention about the use of fake photos by Argentine media, but the use of three magazine covers seems a bit too much. In the specific case of this Newsweek cover, neither the cover image or the magazine coverage about the events is ever mentioned in the article, probably because it was not uniquely relevant. --Damiens.rf 15:57, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I am really not seeing what this image is adding to any of the articles in which it is used. J Milburn (talk) 17:20, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. The Falklands War article is a hornets' nest, Argentineans can claim it's pro-British and Britons can claim it's anti-British. So it's a balance, which had been debated again and again at the talk page. "Newsweek" is an American magazine, "The Sun" is a British tabloid and "Gente" is an Argentine one. Therefore the three front-pages. The Newsweek front-page catches the spirit of 1982 more than words do. The Star Wars movie Empire Strikes Back was released in 1980, and the sequences with the mighty imperial fleet were comparable with the British Task Force in 1982. If you weren't born then, you'll of course don't get the picture. A solitary text saying that Newsweek had a headline... isn't able to transform the American view of "fighting over a few icy rocks". BTW I think it's strange to have this discussion here, and not on the Falklands War talk page. People watching that page have a better knowledge, regarding the subject. The "Files for deletion"-page is a more backwater section of Wikipedia. --Regards, Necessary Evil (talk) 18:26, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - I can see Jheald's point about the different reporting methods, though perhaps that is more that NewsWeek felt the Star Wars reference would be catchier in the US.

Comment How is mentioning the proposed deletion on the talk pages of articles where the image is being used, canvassing? That is exactly the right audience. (edit: the wording should have been neutral though) (Hohum ^@) 23:42, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep And for the record not notifying the Talk Pages of articles where images are about to be removed is unhelpful as deletion is then decided by people without domain knowledge of the subject. Drawing attention to a discussion that had not been publicised is not canvassing, though NE should have stated his case better. Again we see an example of one of the iconic press images from the Falklands War being proposed for deletion, its used here as a subject for commentary. The argument that you can replace an image with a textual description is not a compelling reason for deletion. Wee Curry Monster talk 23:34, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's used "as a subject for commentary"? Where's the commentary? And yes, "that you can replace an image with a textual description" most certainly is a "compelling reason for deletion"- it's what NFCC#1 is about. You say that the use of an image should be determined by those with "domain knowledge of the subject", but then showing that you quite clearly do not understand the policies on the subject. J Milburn (talk) 09:35, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you really feel personal attacks are germane to the matter at hand, having had to regularly defend images against deletion nominations on Falklands topics I am sadly rather familiar with the policy and have more of an understanding than I ever really wanted. The image is there as a subject of commentary concerning press coverage of the war. If you're saying a text description could replace it as is, then really no it can't. However, once could write a lengthy essay describing the image in intimate detail and some construe that this means any image can be replaced with a textual description. This isn't a valid argument and certainly not what is intended by NFCC#1. Wee Curry Monster talk 11:42, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's no need to describe the image in "intimate detail". What's being argued here is exactly that the image's "intimate detail" are not encyclopedic relevant. --damiens.rf 16:33, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand that comment. We're arguing for the use of the image in describing the press coverage of the war. The Falklands War is notable in many respects for that press coverage. Are you trying to argue this is not "encyclopedic relevant"? I presume you meant "encyclopedic content" Wee Curry Monster talk 16:37, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The media coverage is important and should be discussed in the article, but this is not enough for this specific non-free image to be acceptable in the article where the discussion takes place. It's being argued that the headline text of this cover is notable, but we don't need to use non-free material to tell the reader what the headline text was. If the cover photo was the relevant stuff that would be different, since we would need the cover image to convey such visual (and not just textual) information. --damiens.rf 23:07, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it was the headlines that were used and the cover photo is relevant as it shows the task force en route. Hence, the headline "The Empire strikes back". The imagery is intrinsically related to the headline. Did you not realise what the image conveyed? Wee Curry Monster talk 08:42, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep for use on Falklands War. Directly relevant to the article. The number of words devoted to it is not a measure of relevance. It is an iconic representation of US media coverage of the war. There is a valid non free use rationale for this article. (Hohum ^@) 23:42, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The fact it is "relevant" is not really disputed, the question is whether it meets NFCC#8. In what way does seeing this image significantly add to reader understanding? J Milburn (talk) 09:32, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • It is always a subjective assessment whether or not a non free image is needed on Wikipedia. If you are aware of the Falklands War subject - it is. If you are evaluating hundreds of images regarding widely different subjects - it must be difficult to understand why. BTW I'm unable to understand why it is wrong to inform contributors depending of the images about your schemes of deleting them.

• Delete. Clearly inappropriate in the main Falklands War article, where it isn't even mentioned. In the "Events leading up" article there's a bit of a better claim, but still, the image is not necessary for understanding the text. The impact of the title page depends on the double pun on "empire", which is entirely understandable through words alone, and the mere fact that any close-up picture of a big warship will look like a strong emblem of power and aggression – but that too is trivially easy to imagine from just a description in words; the visual details of the image (i.e. exactly what ship was pictured, from what perspective, etc.) is pretty irrelevant for the point being made.

The image belongs to Corbis Images[2]. It can only be used if the text is actually about the photo itself, and not about the events it captures.

• holding off from a vote yet – I'd have tended towards "keep", as the visual presence of the image really does make the verbal description understood in a more powerful way, but the fact that it's from a commercial agency makes it problematic. I'd like to give the article editors a chance to clarify if it is indeed the case that the image itself (this photograph, as a photographic work, rather than just the scene it depicts) is such a notable thing it could be the object of substantial sourced commentary. If not, it will have to go under WP:CSD#F7b. Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:58, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. The article identifies (with sourcing) this photo itself as having a significant historical impact. This was the moment that reverberated, and this was the unique news photo syndicated of it.

Everything here is subjective, but Wikipedians pretend it's not and argue about it just not to be proven wrong. It's quite clear Damiens.rf put up a large number of images, most of which could be deleted. But Damiens did not read this article, the sources mentioned in the fair use rationale, or the previous image reviews during assessment processes for this image and the two below during FAC. Damiens is imposing his own opinions about what he thinks should be deleted, beyond the sources used in the article and beyond the Wikipedia processes of image reviews for GAs and FAs. In this case, his carelessness and lack of attention to details in the articles and sources present this conflict, now with other editors interpreting fair use rationale to more subjective standards about what should be included.

I get this--how can I not after so many years here? --but I still rail against it because not only does it just parade our self esteem issues around, but removing this image would so very clearly decrease the quality of the article, this one and the ones below. Because we just have to be right even when content is at stake. It's as if the gaping holes in our collective self esteem make Wikipedians demand that content be mediocre. Avoid unpleasantness, tag images, tag articles, never improve. As for the editors who are doing their best to adhere to all the standards set by this site and improve content as much as possible, condescend to them, accuse them of owning articles, criticize their methods, and just assail articles and files over and over. --Moni3 (talk) 17:17, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Moni, do the easy thing: Show us the sources that discuss the iconic status of this image, or use these sources to write about the image in the article. Judging from your post, this would by much easier than arguing with an stubborn guy like me. It's a Corbis Images photo, man. We can't use it just because it improves "quality of the article". --Damiens.rf 19:01, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I did the thing already and it was done before you tagged the image. Till's great-uncle stood up in court to identify the man who invaded his house and took his great nephew and then murdered him. Five quotes are in the article, three in the prose and two in the caption, to explain the historic nature of the moment captured in the photo by people who were either in the courtroom or historian opinion. Ernest Withers defied the judge's orders to take the shot. This is all cited in the article and the image fair use rationale. What more would you like personally, if only to cement the idea that this is completely subjective and I'm no longer matching Wikipedia's standards for writing articles and sourcing--both the prose and the images in the article--but yours alone? --Moni3 (talk) 21:41, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. I'm afraid you still fail to understand the most basic point here: the difference between the image and the thing it shows. You have sources and citations about the thing it shows (the historic situation), but you still haven't brought anything about the image itself (the specific photographic work). You'll need exactly this; that's what image is the subject of commentary means. Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:32, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But unfortunately this value is not the kind of value we can claim proper "fair use" for.

Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:39, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A very similar issue is currently under discussion and without consensus, here: [3] What basic point am I not getting? It's rather apparent to me that the way you're !voting (not a vote, you know) is not policy, but something you feel strongly about regardless of Wikipedia consensus (such as it is) has decided. That, and I still don't agree with your interpretation. To assuage whatever ideal you have would be to make an article about an image or conflate a section to make it about the image. Is this the only way a fair use historical image could be included in your opinion? Sources say actually quite a bit about the image and the scene it depicts. I wouldn't have included it otherwise. In the overall scheme of the subject, Emmett Till, sources address the image and the scene, but you personally want to see more prose about this image. You would like to place undue weight on the image to satisfy something rather esoteric that is not clear.

Other people can see this is a clusterfuck, right? No one seems to know what the hell is going on and yet everyone is addressing this as if they know for sure what is. --Moni3 (talk) 01:29, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's exactly right. Editors who focus largely or entirely on images are insisting that writers add text to articles about fair-use images they want to use—text about the image itself, not about the event it depicts—regardless of good writing, or UNDUE, or common sense, or any other editorial consideration. They are insisting on this to satisfy a rule that the image be the "subject of commentary," a rule that someone added to a Wikipedia guideline (not even a policy) without discussion; one that has no consensus outside this small group; and which bears no relation to what fair use means anywhere else in the real world.

• Keep the image, and please restore some common sense to our non-free content guideline. The image depicts a watershed moment, as the image page explains. There are no copyright issues in the sense that someone is going to object; and the image is very low resolution. Damiens, it almost certainly does not belong to Corbis Images; these companies often slap copyright tags on images. Finally, the article does not have to discuss the image itself, rather than the events it depicts. See this RfC for a current discussion of that point. This was something that was added to the guideline without discussion, and that guideline anyway isn't mandatory. Editors are going to be driven away by this kind of heavy-handed application of rules that make no sense. SlimVirgin ^{TALK|CONTRIBS} 02:31, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong in several ways. The rule is not some undiscussed addition to a guideline; it's a WP:CSD, and it was well-established practice long before it was formally added there. I know you have been campaigning against the "subject of commentary" clauses in various places, but in the particular case of commercial news agency images this is a very strongly rooted policy and not negotiable. Next, the claim that it doesn't belong to Corbis is completely unsubstantiated: it was made by a professional photo journalist, it came into the possession of a journalistic photo archive, and that archive was taken over by Corbis. It is also not true that our rule has "no relation to what fair use means anywhere else in the real world": the rule is our way of ensuring that the use is "transformational", which it otherwise wouldn't be; this is a well-known and central notion in fair-use law.

If nothing else on Wikipedia proves this, this discussion should invalidate any comment where "X is correct". No one here seems to be correct and how you can assert someone is escapes me. Although I'm realizing that the assertiveness used by Damiens and Future Perfect is a result of confusion; if the policy isn't clear and there is significant disagreement, replace clarity with authoritative language to make it seem as if you're right(er) than who you're disagreeing with. I'm fairly convinced no one knows what the hell is going on here.

Please, tell us all what the hell is going on here. --damiens.rf 21:25, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Through the sweet, sweet nectar of sarcasm, there's actually a grain of value in your question. What The Hell Is Going On is only my experience and perspective. That's all anyone can bring unless you also have a law degree with a specialty in copyright law. I don't; you don't seem to either. That you and other editors are treating your experience and perspective as Absolute Truth is a fallacy and it impedes true collaboration and communication. I don't understand your version of What The Hell Is Going On because you haven't shared it and I don't know you.

These images have value in these articles; sources say so. I'm quite honestly and earnestly dedicated to doing the correct thing here and I value quality of content over anything else. You should recognize this and it would help if you would also acknowledge it. I'm not opposing you because I think you're a dick. I don't understand how you can possibly be so sure of something that legal experts aren't sure of. In the absence of any true understanding of your motivations, all I can surmise is that you are compensating for the lack of clarity about this policy by being assertive and undeservedly authoritative.

Ok, so I'm trying to do the right thing. The images have value in the articles and the policy (even the law) is unclear, even to legal experts. So make a suggestion about what you think is necessary--and be very clear about this--in the article or on the image summary page to keep these images. If you've posted this, I've missed it. The discussion is spread over so many pages that I can't keep track of it. If you don't know what to suggest, say so. If you would rather not suggest anything because you don't know, say so. At some point we'll have to cover why your suggestions should be followed rather than the editors' opinions I have already consulted, but first things first. --Moni3 (talk) 16:58, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do this to keep the photo: Always following Wikipedia:Reliable Sources, and Wikipedia:No Original Research, make the article discuss the importance of this photo. Not the importance of event in the photo, but the importance of the photo itself. --damiens.rf 17:42, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Moni, when I said "FPAS is correct", I meant he (and Damiens) are correct that this is an image held by Corbis. Whether they have exclusive rights over the image is another matter - it depends on the exact terms under which they acquired the image (it is most likely that it passed from the estate of the photographer to the archive managed by Corbis, but you would need to confirm that). It would make a small difference if, for instance, the original upload we have here was a scan from a book containing the photograph that was published before the image became part of the Bettmann Archive. You scanned it from a book published in 1991. What would help is to know when the photo became part of the Bettmann Archive. That is why I'm still undecided on the actual deletion request. Carcharoth (talk) 00:25, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why would who owns the image factor into your decision? --Moni3 (talk) 14:26, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. If the fair-use (and non-free use) rationales are good enough, it shouldn't matter who has the rights to the image. What I'm trying to work out, though, is the history of the rights for this image. Some of the photographs by Ernest Withers, for example, appear to be managed by something called the 'Decaneas Archive', while others are available through something called the 'Panopticon Gallery'. It is possible the rights to his images got split up among different entities (or retained by a central entity and distributed to others for marketing purposes only). I believe strongly that in order to make an informed decision about an image, we need to know as much about the provenance and history as possible, though sadly that is not always available. Carcharoth (talk) 00:17, 6 June 2011 (UTC) There is another point as well, which I will make below.[reply]

• Keep - I've been undecided on this, but am provisionally suggesting that this image be kept for the following reasons:
  • (i) Sources (that I gave above) are available that talk about the image and the photographer, not just the event.
  • (ii) This image is a low-res scan from a book published in 1991. This was before Corbis (founded 1989) acquired the Bettmann Archive (in 1995) so the image copied here was not at that time a Corbis image. It is not clear who had the rights to the image in 1991 (Moni should check the book for any credit line). In any case the upload is a scan from a book, not a copy of the scan on the Corbis website, so the relevant criterion may not apply here.
  • (iii) There is some doubt in my mind as to whether Corbis have exclusive rights to the image.
• Hopefully the above points will be discussed before this image deletion discussion is closed. Carcharoth (talk) 00:30, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  Confirming my 'keep' comment, following the sources quoted below by Moni, which also confirm the route the picture took from Withers to Corbis (via the Chicago Defender, the United Press International Archive, and the Bettmann Archive), which is to say that this picture, covertly snapped in a Mississippi courtroom, is now in cold storage in a former limestone quarry in western Pennsylvania (presuming the original negative is what ended up in the archive). Carcharoth (talk) 23:55, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Are we sure that this is copyrighted ? Not a dumb question but I am perplexed. The image was taken by a staff photographer of The Chicago Defender in 1955 so was clearly (c) Chicago Defender. I presume that they registered the copyright appropriately so it would have come up for renewal 28 years later (1983) - a period for which there are online records (here). I've searched for quite a while and though I can see that some material from 1954/55 etc from this publication was renewed (cartoons, work by Langston Hughes and a serial all of which are owned by parties other than the Defender), I cannot see any renewal for the 1955 editions of the paper nor for images owned by the paper from that time. If I had more experience with the qualities of the data in the archive I would say that the copyright for the edition containing this image, and hence for this work-for-hire image, were not renewed and the image is {{PD-US-not renewed}}. That Corbis is happily collecting fees for use of this image would then be amusing rather than compel us towards WP:CSD#F7 - they were formed after the copyright should have been renewed on this image and I can't see that the Bettmann archive acquired it before that date either. I am tempted towards a view that this image is public domain, but as stated I lack the experience with US copyright renewal searching to be sure - Peripitus (Talk) 13:05, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not sure whether Ernest Withers (the photographer in question) was working for The Chicago Defender, or was a freelancer who sold his picture to them but retained the copyright. If the latter, surely the rights would have remained with him and passed to his estate on his death? Have a look at this statement from the Library of Congress:

    "Photographs by Ernest Withers may be restricted by copyright. Ernest Withers expressed interest in the use of his images. Works created after January 1, 1978 are protected by copyright during the photographer's lifetime, plus seventy years. For images created prior to January 1, 1978, a copyright search should be conducted. In addition, privacy and publicity rights may apply to the portraits. Ernest Withers’ estate is represented by: Tony Decaneas, Panopticon Gallery of Photography."

    Whether that applies only to the Library of Congress collection of images by Withers, or to other ones as well, I don't know. That helpful information from the LoC does explain the references I found to the Decaneas Archive and Panopticon Gallery, but it still leaves unanswered the question of who exactly has the rights to this image. My suspicion is that it went from the Chicago Defender to UPI (United Press International) and thence into the Bettmann Archive, and thence to Corbis. But possibly it shouldn't have done! The only other Withers-related images I could find on the Corbis site were this and this, which makes me wonder how that other Withers image got onto the Corbis site (remember, it is not credited to Withers on the Corbis site, and so doesn't appear in searches under his name). Carcharoth (talk) 23:59, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm not sure also. He certainly was sent on assignments by the Chicago Defender (amongst other papers) but was this one. If it was it is (probably) a work-for-hire and my search is relevant. He did freelance work and sold the imaqes to multiple publications in other instances, was this one of those. I'm tempted to the view that this was an assignment for the Defender and the image is, based on my other searches, free.

The above shows the photo itself is notable. The photo itself is worth mentioning in the article. We have the source. Once its done, the photo can stay. I will write a valid non-free-use rationmale myself.

But if we're lazy to write some encyclopedic work about this famous photo, we can't use this famous photo, and we can keep it just in case.--damiens.rf 05:37, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At least two of the above sources are already in the article, and were at the time you nominated the image. See here and here. I understand you are asking for more to be added about the image or the history behind the creation of the image and the effect it had (and I think it could be done, especially about how Withers waited for the right moment to take the photo), but there is a valid argument that GA- and FA-level articles are carefully balanced to present the correct proportions of coverage within an article for various aspects of the topic covered by the article (this is called WP:NPOV). Adding more about the image might disrupt this (I don't think adding a little bit more would matter too much, but that is only my personal opinion).

It is possible that detail about Withers and him taking this image might be better placed in the Ernest Withers article. Can the "sourced commentary" on a non-free image be spread over several pages, including those other than where the image is located? The other option (I suggested on a user talk page a few days ago) is to have extra sourced commentary (over and above what would be justified for a good or featured article) on the image page, which is a logical place to have extra details about the history and effect of the photo, in the absence of an article about the photo (not every photo will have enough to justify a separate article). To put that another way, some photos can be mentioned (with sourced commentary) in several articles, but minimal use would suggest it only be used in one of the articles.

Regarding the writing of non-free rationales, if you think a non-free rationale can be improved, it is best to talk about that with the original writer of the non-free rationale, as that spreads best practice - the art of writing a valid non-free rationale is not something that should be made a specialist role to be done by editors who specialise in image issues. It is best done by those writing the articles the images are to be used in, with helpful advice where needed. Carcharoth (talk) 06:06, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I leave to you the decision about where to write about the photo. But we can't use this photo in a place other than the one where the photo itself is discussed. It's not acceptable to freely use Corbis' property (excluding the promising PD theory above) just because it's the perfect illustration for our text. --damiens.rf 14:46, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep—the "above the banner" treatment of the headline is an important detail used to attach significance to the headline itself, meaning dropping the image would lose important intangible detail.

  • Wrong- The photo is not discussed in the article on the riots. All it ever says is "The only photograph taken during the first night of the riots shows the homeless youth that slept in nearby Christopher Park, scuffling with police". It's also not discussed in the other article it's transcluded. being used. It's also not discussed in LGBT rights in the United States. In both articles, the event is discussed, and thephoto serves as an illustration of the event. Sorry if I sound "combative" sometimes but we can't stand opinions based on false information. --Damiens.rf 18:49, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. It is mildly interesting that this very image and its justification were approved specifically at Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2008-09-22/Dispatches, discussing the fair use image criteria. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 21:17, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I got some good feedback about how to write fair use rationales from this image. Such as it was...Damiens, how would you change the advice Elcobbola gave in that dispatch? What stronger point do you think needs to be made in the prose about this image? Again, my point is that you would be influencing how much emphasis is made in the prose instead of the sources, so again, we're back to what you want to see. What would satisfy you personally? --Moni3 (talk) 21:46, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Short and simple: Do the sources talk about the photo or about the moment captured on the photo? The later would "satisfy me personally". --Damiens.rf 15:32, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The text at Signpost commends this image's FUR in that it describes a valid purpose of use. While I agree in commending the text used as purpose of use, mainly because it makes clear what's about the visual aspects of this image that make it relevant to the article, the Signpost (and featured article) reviewers failed in not notice that, without support from reliable sources, that text constitutes original research. The text says the image is used because "it illustrates the beginning of the riots, showing the type of people who participated: primarily young men with more liberal clothing and hair, contrasting with the conservative appearance of the police. The value differences between riot participants and the police is reflected in this image, and directly led to the cause of the riots.". This is the kind of prose I would tag with ^{[original research?]} if I were to read it in any article without a reference link.

This is not to say the image is unusable. If reliable sources are found to support the thesis some Wikipedian created for the rationale, I would withdraw the nomination.

Big picture is, featured article reviewers and Signpost regulars, while great editors, are not necessarily experts in NFCC. Nobody is, by the way. --Damiens.rf 15:32, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The purpose (necessity) for this image in the Stonewall Riots article is well-articulated by the rationale. Although it would certainly be optimal, there is currently no requirement that an image be the subject of sourced commentary. Further, I’d be curious for Damiens to produce a non-free image with a rationale that is sourced, where such source discusses the both image’s contents and the editor’s rationale for including the image in the publication. It is implied (“without support from reliable sources, that text constitutes original research”) that such sourcing is required for a rationale to be valid. This is patent nonsense, with no basis in practice or policy. Rationales are not encyclopedic content as contemplated by WP:RS/WP:OR, rather mandated editorial discussions (i.e. the decision to use one image over another – or at all – in a given article is an unstated editorial decision made in nearly every article; in the case of non-free content, however, usage restrictions require that considerations underlying those decisions to be presented in the form of a rationale). Concerns thus appear to be based on a fringe belief and a profound misunderstanding and misapplication of NFCC and sourcing policies. Эlcobbola _talk 16:33, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The rationale draws a lot of conclusions from the clothing of the people depicted on the photo. Yes, these conclusion need to come from reliable sources, otherwise they are original research. --Damiens.rf 18:11, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Note that accurately speaking the restriction WP:NOR applies strictly to article text, not to non-article material such as editorial discussions or discussions of "significance". In particular, discussions of significance for NFCC #8 are community assessments, where individual views and personal comments are considered and which it is for the closing admin to weigh. Jheald (talk) 22:15, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, per Elcobbola. The image itself does not have to be the subject of sourced commentary. Please see the current RfC about that very point. It's a misunderstanding that someone added to the non-free guideline some time ago without discussion, and it is causing a lot of confusion.

The website that was the source for the image went down, and we are currently the only online source for this important historical image (low-res, used with permission, and it is rather doubtful the author of Auschwitz mugshot will ever be identified - not too mention step up and request that we take the image down... meta:copyright paranoia raises its ugly head in this request, too). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 01:10, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I could maybe sort of understand if someone was arguing that one or two of these five instances does not fulfill the free image rationale. However it seems that at least several instances of the use do in fact satisfy the free rational criteria (usage in "Auschwitz concentration camp" and "Auschwitz bombing debate" most certainly qualifies). There's no basis for deleting the image as it is being used correctly in at least two articles.Volunteer Marek (talk) 03:45, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
