Image:Fala do Trono.jpg

Hi there; actually, there is no sense to consider the above image of restricted copyright, since it was painted in the XIX century. The Imperial Museum of Petropolis cannot hold the copyright of it - the author died more than 70 years ago. I do not know how to proceed anyway, since this "fair use" is nonsense. Thanks. --Tonyjeff 17:19, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I changed the license to {{PD art}}. --Oden 00:11, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello, question from a newbie about fair use pictures

Hello, I saw your edit to Sonia Vergara. Fair use really trips me. I am working on ten projects I want to post in the next. Here are links to two: Image: Image:Sabor latino 3.jpg and Image:Voz voto 3.jpg. What would you think of them? The other question I have is: if I were to take a picture of their building with its logo would I and Misplaced Pages have free use to the picture. I have gone back and forth on those question. I'd like a media savvy opinion from you if you don't mind (and yes, I have read the articles on fair use). I just keep tripping up myself saying yes, no, yes, no etc. Thanks, Ronbo76 21:32, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

BTW, they come directly from KUVS's website which is hosted by Univision which its parent company and are tagged as with license unknown. Ronbo76 21:34, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

If you write the article text first I can give you advice on suitable images. --Oden 22:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Don't take it personally

But I know my way around with copyrights...roughly, I must say you have chosen one hell of a task for yourself... Anyway its Russian Christmas right now...So take no offense from me.--Kuban Cossack 00:34, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

OK, I will leave it up to you to use your good judgement and apply our image use policy and fair use policy on the images you have uploaded. --Oden 00:37, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Its not you, but after User:Lupo's merciless crusade against Soviet PD image licensing in the commons and in here, we are naturally defensive of any attacks, even minor ones...So I do apologise for the rough remarks thrown at you by me...--Kuban Cossack 00:45, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

No offence taken, I've been called worse things (diff). --Oden 00:58, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Please do not target

I understand that you have taken upon yourself a war on inappropriate fair use rationales, but you appear to have targeted images uploaded by some users more than others and to have received warnings over this in the past. Please extend good faith toward users such as user:Irpen and do not seek conflict by going through their contributions to tag their images. Given past questions with images he or she uploaded being fully answered, you should be turning your attention elsewhere. Paying undue attention to users with whom you have been in conflict can become a matter of stalking, and therefore a matter for Arbitration. If you are in conflict with user:Irpen, please consider mediation. If not, then extend that effort effort and try to communicate with the user before you apply a dispute tag on images he has uploaded. You can always ask people first and listen to what they say.

The term "war" would suggest an antagonistic approach, I would rather prefer the term cleanup or maintenance. I would also object to the statement that I target specific users, when I find a questionable image (such as this diff or this page history) I review the upload logs of any editor which appears in the page history.

As regards User:Irpen, two images which I have tagged have subsequently been deleted, which would suggest that my edits were correct. I could of course contact an administrator instead of interacting with the user directly (like i did here). I am also not the only one to have issues with User:Irpen, see for instance Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Irpen or the block log. --Oden 16:26, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
