October 31

Image:TFMWNCB age 4.jpg

The Fat Man claims that he releases this into the public domain as the copyright holder. I call shenanigans. How could he have snapped this photo of himself at age 4? He needs to provide proof to OTRS that the photographer released this into the public domain. I'm sorry, but if this turns out to be a false claim of copyright ownership, this will severely hurt his chances of being elected to ArbCom. Mike R (talk) 13:10, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh come on, it comes from his parent. Although technically you might be correct, this is nitpicking to the highest degree. One can assume that TFMWNCB can get a written transfer of copyright from his own parents without actually requiring the proof. howcheng {chat} 16:56, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

The image has a watermark in the bottom right corner...the watermark "Markus L. Blackwell Jr." is inconsistent with the name "Dragan Blazevic". From looking at the user's talk page and contributions, it appears that he has uploaded many non-free images as "public domain"...for instance, the user claimed that the UNC Charlotte logo is public domain, and many images looked like they had been taken off the Web (although I could certainly be wrong). It seems to be more of a matter of him being unclear on what public domain is and the rules for uploading images on Misplaced Pages rather than him being malicious. — Scootey (talk) 02:29, 31 October 2008 (UTC).

No indication why this government site would have public domain images. At the same time, orphaned and now UE. Ricky81682 (talk) 07:19, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

File history shows this icon is likely a derivative of a copyrighted image that has been photoshopped to conceal its source. Therefore improper licensing as a free image. MBisanz 15:29, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Non-free derivative of a copyrighted image showing a product and its logo. MBisanz 15:31, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Considering that this photo is watermarked with a copyright statement, I would suggest that it's not actually PD-USGov. howcheng {chat} 16:49, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
