See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines: Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty! Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements. At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline. These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles. Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

Archive 1

This page has archives. Sections older than 90 days may be automatically archived by Lowercase sigmabot III when more than 1 section is present.

The copyright question has arisen again: see Archive 1, #59. Arguments, I think, must be made in terms of WP policy - Wikipedia:Non-free content. Errantius (talk) 12:41, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This constant, constant deletion of the Blue standard issue passport cover is getting beyond tiresome. I get the issues regarding Crown Copyright. I get this, I realise that such images cannot be uploaded to Wikipedia.

But why are mods so selective about how they interpret this?? Because they are turning a blind eye to other Crown Copyright images on the same page. This includes the new bio-page, and any red passport images too. They must be Crown Copyright, because they too are less than 50 years old. So why are they not deleted??

And of all the international passport articles, why is the UK standard issue passport the only one that mods are not comfortable with allowing a non-free upload so that viewers can see it?? Surely if Crown Copyright applies in the UK, surely the same is true in other countries and their national copyright laws?? Why is the Australian passport allowed to be seen, when Crown Copyright also applies in Australia??

Above all. Why is there no consistency on the issue, just selective interpretations about what “is” and “isn’t” Crown Copyright (or really what the admins and moderators are comfortable with having on display)??

If the UK Government exercised their rights, and made an official complaint, most of the images on this page would have to be deleted. How many complaints have Wikimedia actually received about the British passport cover?? Some, or none??

And why are the remaining images not deleted too?? Continue to have other illegal images on display and you’ll be breaking the law too.(Kreb (talk) 00:42, 4 November 2023 (UTC))[reply]
