Why isn't this image, her formal "class" photo, being used at Rachel Corrie? Pizza Puzzle 05:31 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- It's a burning man photo, not a class photo. It's being used in the article (see the _At_Burning_Man_ link on the top right). It's not being given wider exposure because it's not open content. Martin 08:37 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Fair use is completely in accordance with Wikipedia policy, as is also noted on the Image use policy page. Rachel Corrie is a person of public interest, our purpose is educational -- what's the deal here? --Eloquence 22:45 Apr 16, 2003 (UTC)
- (much later) The deal is that it's not necessary, and it isn't open content, and I'd rather not make exceptions to the open content ideals of Wikipedia except where absolutely necessary. Our sublicensees may not be able to make the same fair use defence as us, as fair use is dependant on particular circumstances. I believe in this case fair use is particularly weak as we have alternative GFDL images that serve our purpose equally well. Martin 18:31, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)
TEXT MOVED FROM VOTES FOR DELETION 07:26 Apr 18, 2003 (UTC)
- Image:Rachelcorrie01.jpg
- Image:Rachelcorriemar.jpg
- possible copyright infringement. Boilerplate copyright notice in place. For details, see talk page of image. Also, various wikipedians oppose the existence of this photo because it is either not needed, or biased (see talk:Images of Rachel Corrie). These twin reasons seem sufficient to delete the image, though I think we should wait a week as for textual copyright violations. Martin
- I object to the deletion of these photos, see Image talk:Rachelcorrie01.jpg and my talk page. They complement the article nicely and there is no reason to remove them, as we have a policy to allow fair use of photos, especially of persons in the public interest. --Eloquence 22:59 Apr 16, 2003 (UTC)
- I wasn't expecting anyone to object - the only person I wondered about was Ed Poor, but he only said the photo "looked nice", which wasn't exactly a ringing endorsement! Given Eloquence's objection, I withdraw my vote for deletion. Martin 00:09 Apr 17, 2003 (UTC)
- The wikipedia has express permission from the International Solidarity Movement to use this photo. How is this possibly a biased photo? Peter Chamberlain
- please give details of the "express permission" that the ISM has granted. Martin 13:09 Apr 17, 2003 (UTC)
- I sent emails to all the ones listed on their site, and they responded back. I explained what the wiki was and they liked the idea and said we could use the images. They also wished us luck. Peter Chamberlain
- Perhaps you could quote the full email you sent and the response you received on Image:Rachelcorrie01.jpg? Or on talk:International Solidarity Movement? That would help clarify the situation. The reason I'm asking is because there are many photos on the ISM website I would like to use on wikipedia, but I cannot do so until the copyright situation is clarified. Martin
