Comment a) Why was I not notified of this discussion? b) Please could you clarify your deletion argument; I don't understand it, specifically the part about "being used to illustrate the topic in a stamp" - I'm not being pointy here, I honestly don't understand that sentence. Thanks!  Chzz   ►  05:40, 7 October 2009 (UTC) reply

Comment Please consider the Non-free use rationale rationale that I provided; "represent the influence of the animal in popular culture, Representation adds encyclopaedic value to the article by demonstrating the importance of imagry of the animal in Japan; this is a unique example".  Chzz   ►  05:44, 7 October 2009 (UTC) reply

You were notified with this edit. There is no verification by a reliable source of your claim the stamp is shown "represent the influence of the animal in popular culture" other than a caption which states it existence. ww2censor ( talk) 12:38, 8 October 2009 (UTC) reply

    • One of the main requirements for non-free content in Wikipedia is that it must substantially improve readers' understanding of the article on which it is used. This image is used in List of people on stamps of Lebanon, and it does not improve readers' understanding that article. Even if your comment on deleting other non-free images held water, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not considered a strong argument. Stifle ( talk) 21:16, 10 October 2009 (UTC) reply

• Comment It is still a copyright stamp and the fact that it is 40 years old does not justify its use, besides which there is no attempt to provide any reliable source to support the text: "Jeita became a national symbol when Lebanese authorities issued a stamp featuring the lower cavern to promote national tourism". How do we know this? Who said so? Please provide some sourced commentary about the stamp itself, not the place and justify the fair-use rationale. ww2censor ( talk) 12:47, 8 October 2009 (UTC) reply

• Delete: Non-free postage stamp being used to illustrate the topic on the stamp in an article not about the topic, Marc Chagall a non-stamp article without any critical commentary of any kind fails WP:NFC#Images #3 and WP:NFCC#8. The stamp's existence and its purpose could be perfectly well explained in prose without the use of a non-free image. ww2censor ( talk) 00:20, 7 October 2009 (UTC) reply

• Keep: Commentary about the stamps and the subject is included in the article in detail and the stamps were issued to illustrate and commemorate the stained glass produced by Marc Chagall. There is no commercial or artistic detriment to the government of Israel by displaying their stamps and stamps are meant to be publicly displayed each time they are used on an envelope. An article about Marc Chagall, the artist who made these windows, would be the most logical and beneficial place to show these images. The images shown on these stamps could not be described by prose alone as stained glass must be seen to be understood. The image shows only small 150px portions of the stamps and can only have the effect of supporting the commentary in the article. While the stamps are not as good as real photos, one could argue that discussing these windows without some illustraton would be detrimental to the subject's understanding.-- Wikiwatcher1 ( talk) 03:09, 7 October 2009 (UTC) reply

    • The photographs are copyrightable in and of themselves due to the photographer's choice of angle, lighting, composition, exposure, etc. Stifle ( talk) 08:13, 8 October 2009 (UTC) reply
      • Those elements would only be copyrightable if the stained glass were 3-D, which it doesn't appear to be based on the stamps. An accurate photograph of a 2-D work of art is not independently copyrightable. Postdlf ( talk) 15:26, 8 October 2009 (UTC) reply
        • It's still a derivative work though, and hence non-free (assuming copyright exists in the original work). Black Kite 06:20, 9 October 2009 (UTC) reply
          • What's still a derivative work? The stamps? Not if they didn't contribute anything copyrightable; they just present images of the stamps with labels. Or do you mean the photographs of the stained glass within the stamps? Not if they are accurate photographs of 2-D art. Then the only copyright at issue is the stained glass itself, in which case using the stamps is no different than using one's own photograph of the copyrighted stained glass.

The image of the stamp portrays information which could not be adequately represented by text alone, is clearly discussed in the article, and represents an anniversary event directly related to the subject of the article (the plane's disappearance). -- El on ka 03:52, 7 October 2009 (UTC) reply

    • Quite simply, what the stamp looks like. Text could say, "the 40-year anniversary stamp included an image of the biplane and its two aviators," but that is a poor substitute for seeing the actual image. Further, the stamp includes an image of Nungesser's wartime logo, which is very difficult to convey in text. And since the plane was lost at sea, no free images could reasonably be obtained in modern times. -- El on ka 03:22, 13 October 2009 (UTC) reply

• Comment: Besides which the stamp is being used in the infobox. This is the place where we use an image to identify the subject of the article and, despite the lengthy caption, that is its use here. The infobox should have an appropriate freely licenced image of the plane, such as the one here which might actually be free. Imagery of the fliers is unnecessary here. All the caption tells us is what is displayed on the stamp with no commentary about the stamp itself and no reliable source to back it up. Sorry but the use is inappropriate. ww2censor ( talk) 13:27, 8 October 2009 (UTC) reply

• Thank you for searching for a new image, but the one you linked is not appropriate. For one, it's copyrighted by the French Air & Space museum, as the copyright image below the image clearly shows. It also says "droits réservés", meaning "rights reserved". It is not a free image. Further, there is someone standing in front of the part of the fuselage where Nungesser's wartime logo would have been displayed. Which means that we still have a reasonable case for fair use of the stamp image in the Wikipedia article: It is a commemorative stamp related to a significant anniversary of the article subject, it is discussed in the article, it is sourced, the imagery of the stamp could not be adequately conveyed in text alone, and there is nothing about the use of the stamp's image which could negatively impact the rights of the copyright holder. Indeed, the stamp was only issued for a brief period in the 1960s, so it is not possible that there could be any negative impact whatsoever on sales. -- El on ka 21:19, 13 October 2009 (UTC) reply

• Query: What about an image of the First Day Cover of the stamp, showing the stamp along with the postmark and other artwork on the cover related to the anniversary? Would that then be Fair Use? Or would it then be "photographer permission" for the derivative work? -- El on ka 18:33, 8 October 2009 (UTC) reply

I corresponded with LAC on this issue and it is quite clear that their licensing is incompatible with Wikipedia.

• Hey, do you think you might want to put these nominations in English instead of "alphabet soup," it's not very clear why you are nominating these images. Beeblebrox ( talk) 20:17, 7 October 2009 (UTC) reply

The abbreviations are on the main page WP:FFD. Eric is saying this is an orphan file, uploaded but not used anywhere, so why have it? And that it's UnEncyclopedic, doesn't serve the purpose of an encyclopedia. Typing the four letters "OR, UE" saves him typing time... and everyone else reading time. — Sizzle Flambé ( ☎/ ✍) 04:15, 10 October 2009 (UTC) reply

The guide to deletion asks users not to use Wikipedia acronyms in their nomination statements. The least he could do is link them, for this very reason. This is confusing even to experienced Wikipedians, I am personally familiar with "OR" meaning "original research" and "UE" meaning "use English." I shouldn't have to be a mind reader or an expert in image specific acronyms to understand a nomination statement. Beeblebrox ( talk) 17:12, 12 October 2009 (UTC) reply

• What this toddler looked like is not relevant for the explanation of the events that caused her death. Damiens.rf 15:35, 7 October 2009 (UTC) reply

Strong Keep: While the photograph is not relevant for the explanation of the events that caused her death, it is highly relevant for the illustration of her appearance so as to let readers know what the toddler looked like, especially since the article is about her murder. Joyson Noel ^{Holla at me} 15:40, 7 October 2009 (UTC) reply

What the toddler looked like isn't relevant. She just looked like any white toddler of her age. -- Damiens.rf 20:50, 7 October 2009 (UTC) reply

Of course, it is. The flawed reasoning behind your argument for deletion is apparent. Do all white toddlers look alike? If so, may i know as to from where did you get that piece of information. Is it statistics, or are you a recognized independent observer of some sort? By that logic, i could also argue that Kofi Annan looks like a lot of black men of his age who sport a French beard. Hence, there is no need for illustration. Now, does that make any sense? Joyson Noel ^{Holla at me} 21:12, 7 October 2009 (UTC) reply

I'll be inactive in Wikipedia for a long time. As a result, i will be unable to respond. However, i must point it out to you that a person's similarity in appearance (in this case, the toddler) to someone else is not a valid reason for image deletion. The reason that you propose is nowhere mentioned in WP:GID as justification for deletion. Furthermore, the article is about her murder. So, on what basis can you claim that what she looked like is irrelevant and doesn't deserve illustration? Joyson Noel ^{Holla at me} 21:31, 7 October 2009 (UTC) reply

Keep. Relevant image to the story and identification of the subject. - DonCalo ( talk) 23:49, 7 October 2009 (UTC) reply

• An already existing image that serves the same purpose is already used in the article. The current format as agreed to by WikiPorject Professional Wrestling is to use the poster, which is already in the article. TJ Spyke 20:59, 7 October 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Actually there was no agreement, the discussion is still underway.-- Will C 22:54, 7 October 2009 (UTC) reply
    • The agreement was from a long time ago, when it was decided to go from the DVD covers to the posters. The current discussion is just because a user doesn't agree with the consensus and wants to change it. TJ Spyke 23:06, 7 October 2009 (UTC) reply
      • I would like to see that discussion, because usually no discussion is ever held. It is just, since it has become the normal format it is a seeming consensus without ever discussing it.-- Will C 00:34, 8 October 2009 (UTC) reply
      • I oppose the deletion. There is a discussion underway at WP:PW. So far, the majority is in favor of the use of this type of image. You assessment of why there's a discussion going on is in error, besides being irrelevant. Wwehurricane1 ( talk) 00:18, 8 October 2009 (UTC) reply
