GPL question
Many images have been tagged with the GPL license. This page says that GFDL should be selected for images. What does this mean as compared to GFDL? Are there any drawbacks with the GPL license for images?

EU image
Why can't these images be used? I understand they can't be modified, but what's wrong with that? We don't need to modify them do we? Or is it some other reason? In short, can someone explain why we can't use these images with just this licence? I mean, we can't modify fair use images either. - Рэд хот 14:25, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Changing obviously incorrect tags
Howdy, I came across an image today Image:Karla foxnews.jpg, which was tagged pd-self, which is obviously wrong. I could list it at PUI, but is it acceptable to simply change the tag to a more appropriate one (such as {{Tv-screenshot}})? Are the general guidlines on when it is acceptable to change tags on other people's uploads? Thanks, --TeaDrinker 01:40, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Is this suitable? -- Denelson 83 07:38, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Photo credit/attribution
I am sure this is covered somewhere but I can't seem to find it, but do we have to give credit/attribution in the captions of images used in articles that are licensed with cc-by or {{attribution}}?--Clawed 23:59, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
{{cc-sampling}}
Picked out from Uncategorizedimages patrol: Image:Asa Dotzler.ogg is licensed under a Creative Commons Sampling 1.0 license. Terms Is this a free license? It says You are free: To sample, mash-up, or otherwise creatively transform this work for commercial or noncommercial purposes, which sounds like it is a free use license, but also says You may not perform, display, or distribute copies of this whole work for any purpose , which suggests otherwise.

States?
What about state governments? No tag? Fair use? Public domain?
Pre-1923 / 50 years PMA
I'm baffled by this. What is the relationship between something being published before 1923 in the United States and countries that have a 50 year PMA rule? Surely we're not saying that everyone who published something before 1923 has been dead for fifty years. Can someone clarify? Jkelly 20:30, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia, and the Wikimedia Foundation, its legal body, are based in Florida, United States. Although legislation is sometimes unclear about which laws are to apply on the Internet, the primary law relevant for Wikipedia is that of the United States. ...In the U.S., any work published before January 1, 1923 anywhere in the world is in the public domain. from Wikipedia:Public domain, so let's stick to our rules and not change them please.

Perscription medications
If I wanted to upload an image of a perscription medication (just the pill not the bottle), what, if any, copyright tag should I put on it?--*Kat* 11:32, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Google Book Search
By chance I found a diagram on Google Book Search which can save me traveling to the local county archives for the 'out of copyright' book in which it sits. Has anyone addressed this issue. I think its fair to use it leaving the Google logo at the bottom (i.e., not photo-edit it out) but others might think there are other issues that need to be considered that I haven't thought of. Whilst Google is not charging for this service I think its in the spirit of open access to use their service when something useful turns up that is: both out of copyright and that can be used on WP. Especially in the light of the Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp ruling. But considering its 'Google' I think it might help ( for when others ask the same question) to have a policy decision. Any thoughts? --Aspro 17:26, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
2D vs 3D
Could somebody help me to attribute proper tags on the following images:
- Km01-bull-vs-mammoth.jpg — a 30 year old photo of an ancient petroglyph (I cannot say for sure, if something like this considered 3D or 2D)
- Km04-animals.jpg — a 30 year old drawing of similar petroglyphs
- Km02-bull-grotto.jpg — a 30 year old photo of similar petroglyphs taken from a particular angle for best lighting
- KmT1-1.jpg — a piece of Km04-animals.jpg which a scientist claims to be an hieroglyph .
- KmT1-2.jpg — a Sumerian pictogram probably available from a variety of sources
All these images can be seen at the same time at http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Каменная_могила (an article from Russian Wiki which I am translating into English to include into English wiki).
I understand that all these images could be used under "Fair use" template because the petroglyphs in question have significantly deteriorated over last 30 years, but I’d like to understand, if I could use "PD-art" or some other PD template. Thank you. Evgeny 19:53, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- My feeling is that #2, #3, and #5 have very weak claims to copyright. Though there is no doubt a little creativity in them, in principle they purport to be essentially uncreative by their very claims to accuracy, a key point in Bridgeman v. Corel and a good rhetorical point as well. #1 probably has the strongest copyright claim, as it is clear that some arrangement of the lighting was necessary to make the petroglyph be visible. #4 seems like a pretty uncreative photograph to me. In any case, since the photographs are essentially dead-on photographs of essentially two-dimensional things (they are relatively flat, and the photographs treat them as if they were flat), I would say that this is pretty close to whatever line there might be between the 3D and the 2D. Personally I'd lean towards public domain though I'd want to outline exactly why on the image page. --Fastfission 21:55, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- So, here is what I am going to do:
- “PD-art” or “fair use” at my discretion (I also lean toward PD)
- “PD-art”
- “PD-art”
- “PD-ineligible”
- “PD-ineligible”
Any other opinions? Evgeny 17:45, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Making sense of all this
Surely there is a better way of doing this? You select an image and choose from a scrappy list of options a tag that is close to what you want. You then load your image. Immediately WP tells you that you shouldn't have done this and that your image will be deleted. A warning beforehand might have been better, before you clicked on the upload button.
Instead of being given another simple list of options, you now have to read vast amounts of verbiage about software copyright and cereal packets, when all you wanted a list of the most common allowable image tags. Eventually you find a tag that meets your requirements, but there are no instructions on how to prevent your now legal image from being deleted. For all I know, in creating the first disallowable tag, the image already gone on a blacklist.
Curiously there seems to be allowable and simple tags that do not appear on the original list. I wanted to load a copyright image that could be used for any pupose provided that the copyright holder was credited. The owner had given me specific written permission. This must be a common occurrence, but y
