Non-free photograph of two naked women protesters taking part in student event, used merely for illustrating the fact that naked women took part. Fails NFCC#8: we don't need to see an image to understand the fact described in the text. (Although many of us no doubt would like to see more.) Fut.Perf. ☼ 05:32, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete appear to be protesting but you cant see any evidence from the image that they actually took part in the run so could be misleading. MilborneOne (talk) 10:16, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep this is not being used to prove they took part in the run, but to indicate the nature of participation in the event as a whole, of which displaying the posters was a part. The effect of the event is clear in the picture than can be in words, an accepted use for illustrations. I suppose I could write an essay explaining the implications, but the picture is clearer. DGG ( talk ) 23:55, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I was clearly misled by the image caption The December 2005 Oblation Run included two women. when the image and article text indicates that they were protesting and not officially part of the run, perhaps the caption needs to be corrected. MilborneOne (talk) 21:53, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No. A FU like this should not be acceptable in this case. If we're going to make the identification of the subject with a drawing, we can draw it ourselves.

• Keep Matlovich's appearance on the cover was an iconic moment in gay history. In addition, Matlovich is deceased, so no free image can be substituted (WP:NFCC#1), and the image is (now) the subject of sourced commentary in the article (WP:NFCC#8). DragonflyDC (talk) 04:36, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  There's a difference between "commentary about the cover image" and commentary about this person being on the cover image and cover story of that magazine". While the first is usually the kind of commentary that needs an image (the cover image being discussed), the second rarely does.

  Also, it's just because we need an image of the guy for his that we can use Time's work to do the job. --Damiens.rf 12:40, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete this non free image is used to illustrate a biography, not in a critical response section about the image on the cover. The image here is not directly discussed, there is only sourced reference to the fact he was on the cover in this way. His being on the cover was an iconic moment - but (and this may seem odd) I don't see that the image itself is iconic. There is frequent use of the "iconic" argument here because: what is depicted in the non-free image represents an iconic moment in time so editors use the argument that the image itself is, by association, iconic and must be used. The "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" is a clearly iconic image of itself and rightly should be here, this is an image that represents an iconic moment for the gay movement and that does not justify using this iamge. A non-free image that was not sourced from a press type source is what we should be using, or far better seeking to find a freely licenced image - Peripitus (Talk) 22:39, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Lean to keep. What is significant about this image is surely how prominently it was labelled "I am a homosexual", at a time when this was a very big deal, in fact a first. I think actually showing the picture in this case does add to reader comprehension, by bringing out how this man's image was used, and how forcefully and uncompromisingly it was headlined. Jheald (talk) 11:53, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • If multiple reliable sources noted how it was a big deal, then the image should be kept and the article should mention that. But as long it's just our personal impressions of the impact that cover had, it's original research, and can't be used to justify the use of non-free content. --Damiens.rf 15:35, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • WP:NOR specifically applies to article text. It does not apply to non-article text: eg talk page discussions, community assessments of "significance" of added understanding, and other editorial discussions, where a free exchange of views is part of the process of achieving editorial consensus. Jheald (talk) 22:30, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • I've added cites to Randy Shilts, Salon.com, the Bay Area Reporter, and Servicemembers United on the significance of the cover. DragonflyDC (talk) 22:53, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • Did you noticed how two of the tree articles used as reference talk extensively about the Time's cover story and it's impact, while still not using the cover image as an illustration? It's my personal humble opinion that it's evidence for the idea that lack of the actual cover image is not detrimental to the understanding of the subject. --Damiens.rf 23:16, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
          • I believe I've addressed your concerns (and improved the article a bit). I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on the image. DragonflyDC (talk) 00:40, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Additionally: the subject is dead. An identificatory image is appropriate; Given that this was such a visible, high-profile image in the subject's life, the choice of this image is particularly appropriate. Furthermore, as a cover image deliberately intended to be widely seen to draw attention to the magazine, rather than an interior image or a clean image, there is likely much less of an NFCC #2 taking associated with it.

Comment. Not clear that there is such a strong NFCC #2 issue here. We've had a former editor of Time here himself in the past, saying that he regarded the image-quotation of Time covers as fair game -- the cover is substantially promotional, created purposely to stand for the magazine, and make it recognisable and visible; so when people instance or reference the magazine or the article, there is an expectation that the cover may be used to identify the magazine or the story (in fact this even works to the benefit of Time); and that this likely quotation is something that is understood, recognised and accepted by people when they choose to license an image to Time for front-cover use, for which Time would typically pay more than for interior use.

• Comment. This image seems to me to add quite a valuable contrast to the article, placed alongside a section where Mrs Simpson could be taken to be presented largely as a "problem", by showing that Time not only made Mrs Simpson its first ever "Woman of the Year", but did so with a cover portrayal that appears highly sympathetic. This latter point - that the image shows how Time presented Mrs Simpson after this time of upheaval, seems to me quite valuable. Jheald (talk) 12:27, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. I think this image does add something more to the article that just the statement that the Duke and Duchess met Hitler. It shows the warmth of that meeting -- exemplified in that beaming smile on Mrs Simpson's face, which in the light of what we know about the Nazi state is positively chilling. This is a picture that to my mind very definitely does pass NFCC #8. On the other hand what I don't know, and I would like to know more about, is the position under NFCC #2. Precisely because this picture is so revealing, about a person (Mrs Simpson) who still excites so much interest, is what means that possibly even now it may still have significant commercial value. I think this would be a useful example to throw in to the currently ongoing review at WT:NFC as to what should be our stance on meaningfully significant historical images.

It is for images where "the image itself is the subject of commentary rather than the event it depicts". This image is not being used in that context.

If this can be shown to be PD, by all means, keep it, but otherwise it should be deleted, as per NFCC#8. Yes, it's irreplaceable, and yes, it is "historic" (in some senses of the word) but that does not automatically mean that its use meets NFCC#8. J Milburn (talk) 23:49, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This non-free magazine cover is being used because it was one of the first time in history "that a publication was able to offer hour-by-hour photographic coverage of a disaster at sea". While this is an remarkable event and deserves to be noted on the article, we don't really need to see the photos themselves to talk about the historic moment on photographic coverages. What the boat looked like in the photo is not what make them notable, but just their existence. Damiens.rf 18:44, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Decorative non-free image showing two man together. Damiens.rf 20:49, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The picture of Falcone and Borsellino is not just decorative, it is a unique historical image of two judges killed by the Mafia and has become a symbol of their sacrifice. It is often used on posters and article commemorating their fight against the Mafia. - DonCalo (talk) 06:44, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article should discuss about the photo as an icon, its uses, etc. I will happly write a valid fair use rationale for it once the article covers that. Our current use is simply not transformative: the image is being used just to identify the people captured on the image. --Damiens.rf 12:48, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Are you talking about this? I believe the image caption alone is not enough discussion, and in any case, the discussion should be attributed to at least one reliable source. --Damiens.rf 15:46, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The picture is an iconic symbol of the Italian State's war against Cosa Nostra. These two individuals (Falcone and Borsellino) spearheaded and were at the forefront of the campaign against Cosa Nostra in the mid-80's and early 90's. They were both assassinated by hitmen belonging to the Sicilian Boss of Bosses, Salvatore Riina, in the course of the campaign, a few months apart. I think it should be fine to leave them at their respective sections, as it illustrates a significant historical event, both in Falcone's life and the history of Cosa Nostra. Furthermore, there is no alternative free equivalent to replace this. Joyson Noel ^{Holla at me!} 08:19, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

While it may be true that we are perfectly able to understand the article without seeing a picture of the subject's parents, this could also apply to other articles of historical civil rights figures such as "Martin Luther King" and "Thurgood Marshall". We do not need their images to understand their articles. Both Felicitas and Gonzalo Mendez are notable enough for the United States Post Office to issue a stamp on them and if it is good enough for the U.S. Government then their image should be good enough to be included in the "Mendez v.

  • This is a type of patrol that could be seen in action dozens of times each day, over a course of a full ten years. And you are seriously telling me that this one, particular patrol with these particular four guys in this particular jeep on this particular day is of special historic significance? Or are you also telling me that during a campaign that saw American servicemen in regular action for ten years, no American soldier ever took a photograph of it, with a jeep, under PD-USGov conditions?

    • More PD-USGov images here: [3]. And the claim that this one is particularly important or "famous" is contradicted by the fact that there are several others that are considerably better (though also probably not free), e.g. [4][5][6]; it is implausible to suggest that this one should be particularly "iconic" as a photograph.

    the routine nature & rough but not illiterate execution of the sign, very visible placement to be immediately apparent to anyone who patronizes the bar, the therefore assumption that the usual patrons would not be offended--none of which can be described readily in words. You're asking me to give in words exactly what the import of an illustration, and proposing the dilemma: if I succeed in doing so, the picture is not necessary, and if I do not, the picture can be clearly proven to be needed. The only way this argument is acceptable is if it is desired to eliminate all fair use pictures, for such an argument can be raised for every one of them. But this is not our policy. DGG ( talk ) 23:50, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    • Read the paragraph next to the image. Now look at the sign. It is not the casual creation of a moment, a message scrawled on whatever piece of paper happened to be at hand; it is a professionally printed sign. In the 1950s, one couldn't just download software from the Internet & use it to print out a sign like that. To create a sign like that, in those long-gone days, someone had to pay a professional money to actually make it. There is a deliberateness in its creation, which leaves no doubt that it was the opinion of the owner of Barney's Beanery & not just one of his employee who was homophobic. (And why the owner didn't simply resort to the less offensive "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" is a question I'd like see answered in the article.) Anyone who recognizes that subtext in the sign -- something expressed far more eloquently with a picture than with prose -- knows it is important to the article, & iconic. (And to state that in the article requires a citation, since it is an opinion.) Anyone who doesn't see that subtext ... well, there's no way to say this that isn't offensive, but your ability to understand a picture with all of its nuances is deficient. Your argument does boil down to WP:IDONTLIKEIT, as Andy Dingley says above. -- llywrch (talk) 00:02, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • Oh yes, some people are "unable to completely understand what they are shown". It isn't a professionally "printed" sign. Look at a larger copy of the image: these are hand-written letters, on a piece of cardboard. But all the rest of your argument is irrelevant too: it's not that I don't understand these nuances from the image. I understand all of them. It's just that I understand them equally well without it. Perhaps you should stop speculating about other people's ability to understand images, and get your own comprehension of text checked? Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:41, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. If the use of such fake amplifiers is "not too uncommon", as the article claims, then a new photograph of such a fake can be taken some time in the future. And the specific story about how this particular photograph of this particular fake amplifier at this particular concert triggered a discussion in some online bulletin board and then a journalist's investigation into the practice has no encyclopedic value. There's a reason we don't have an article on "Rosa Golijan guitar amplifier investigation controversy" or the like, and we're not likely to have even as much as a section on it in some other article. It is an entirely non-notable story, and its details are irrelevant for understanding the issue itself. The Golijan article is a decent enough source for supporting the statement that such fakes exist, but the details of how and why the author came to write about it are not the topic of our article and therefore irrelevant for any NFCC argument.

I enclose the message I received from BScar23625:

Cliftonian
The original version that I uploaded in 2006 was a b&w copy of Smith's official portrait (a painting). It was used for assorted publicity purposes by both the Rhodesian government's information office and Smith's Rhodesia Front party. By modern standards, the image looks rather odd - but it is very striking and, perhaps, throws some light on the psychology behind UDI and white minority rule. I think it says more than the image that you have overloaded it by.
I cannot imagine that there is any copyright issue with my version. It is an iconic image of a deceased person and was widely used for promotional purposes in the 1960s and early 1970s. I guess someone technically has a copyright in the original painting. But whoever that was (and I suspect the Zimbabwe government), they haven't the least interest in it.
I haven't been active on Wikipedia for some years - so I don't propose to engage on the relevant forum about this.

best wishes

While I agree with his comments on the image itself ("By modern standards, the image looks rather odd - but it is very striking and, perhaps, throws some light on the psychology behind UDI and white minority rule. I think it says more than the image that you have overloaded it by.") it doesn't really add much to the argument regarding the copyrighting. I'd imagine it belongs to the Zimbabwe government, as he says, if it was Smith's official portrait; what is the policy there? – Cliftonian^{the orangey bit} 19:15, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is not presently our usual practice, but I think we should consider it acceptable fair use to include an officially released portrait of any individual to be fair use in the article about them, or about something with which they are closely & officially associated. They were made and released for that very purpose. It is within the WMF requirements, and ought to be part of our NFCC criteria. It would certainly avoid a great many discussions, & give us more of an opportunity to carefully consider the actual problems. DGG ( talk ) 23:37, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An official portrait is sometimes going to be usable in the article on the subject- if the subject is dead, and we have no free content, it would be a good choice for a non-free lead image- but it's rarely going to be useful elsewhere. However, your belief that official portraits should be included in articles "about something with which they are closely & officially associated" makes a mockery of NFCC#8. Non-free content can be used only when it adds significantly to reader understanding of the article, not when you feel the subject of the image is sufficiently related to the subject of the article. Free images of "related" subjects are often going to be useful to give some visual interest to the page, but non-free images should not be used so decoratively. J Milburn (talk) 23:20, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As BScar notes, this isn't merely a photograph of Smithy, it's the photograph that he chose to be his official image. For a politician, that distinction is significant. I would agree with DGG over this one, and that we ought to expand policy to cover this point explicitly. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:10, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this low resolution monochromatic (almost) photo adds much information about the specific football fans riot it captures. Also, the source seems like a fan page that won't care much about copyrights, and this is the kind of image I would expect to belong to some news source or news agency. Damiens.rf 22:04, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I originally thought it would count as fair use regardless, but as above, won't argue the point. We need to cut down on fair use images in any case. – Cliftonian^{the orangey bit} 22:07, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"we need to cut down on fair use images" is not a reason for deletion of any particular image. And furthermore, it is not necessarily the case they we need to cut down on such images. Myself, I think we need to expand them. I am not saying "keep" because in this instance I agree with Damiens that this is not likely to be the best available one for the event.

• Keep. The only reasons for proposing deletion of this image is based on the nominator's interpretation and subjective view. "Need" is subjective. This image of an historically important event meets both the legal criteria for fair use, as well as our image use policy and criteria for NFCC. The image is encyclopedic in nature and is contextually significant to the Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 10th Earl of Shaftesbury article. The image offers an historical representation of the trial and conviction of Lady Shaftesbury for the murder of her husband, Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 10th Earl of Shaftesbury.

• Delete. Yes, the event's important, but that doesn't mean that the image is. Further, the fact this image is from a news source is problematic. Fails NFCC#8 and 2. J Milburn (talk) 23:25, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. He went on trial, yes. That is significant, yes. This does not mean that we need a non-free image of the event. To justify the use of a non-free image, the image itself has to add significantly to the article (among other criteria). No one has explained how it does that, only asserted that it does. Furthermore, as this image is from the Daily Mail, it almost certainly fails NFCC#2, as well as 8. J Milburn (talk) 23:28, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - It simply protrays that he went on trial, something that we can explain adequately in text alone. Cindamuse's argument is largely that it illustrates something significant, Q.E.D. it is significant—an argument that is used here with monotonous regularity. Image fails NFCC#8, 1 and (as J Milburn states) possibly #2. - Peripitus (Talk) 21:44, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
