Revision as of 15:35, 25 January 2005
This page is intended for listing and discussing copyright problems on Wikipedia, including pages and images which are suspected to be in violation.
If you list a page or image here which you believe to be a copyright infringement, be sure to follow the instructions in the "Copyright infringement notice" section below. Page titles should stay listed for a minimum of 7 days before a decision is made. Add new reports under today's section at the bottom of this page.
Pages where the most recent edit is a copyright violation, but the previous article was not, should not be deleted. They should be reverted. The violating text will remain in the page history for archival reasons unless the copyright holder asks the Wikimedia Foundation to remove it. See Wikipedia:Page history for details and Wikipedia talk:Copyright violations on history pages for discussion. See also: Wikipedia:Votes for deletion, Wikipedia:Deletion policy, Wikipedia:Copyrights, Wikipedia talk:Copyright violations on history pages, Wikipedia:Image description page, Wikipedia:Request for immediate removal of copyright violation, Wikipedia:Confirmation of permission, Wikipedia:Sites that use Wikipedia for content, m:Do fair use images violate the GFDL?, m:Fair use, Wikipedia:Fair use, copyright
Alternatives
In addition to nominating potential copyright violations for deletion, you could:
- Replace the article's text with new (re-written) content of your own: This can be done on a temp page, so that the original "copyvio version" may be deleted by a sysop. Temp versions should be written at a page like: [[PAGE NAME/temp]]. If the original turns out to be not a copyvio, these two can be merged.
- Write to the owner of the copyright to check whether they gave permission (or maybe they in fact posted it here!).
- Ask for permission - see wikipedia:boilerplate request for permission, Wikipedia:Confirmation of permission
Notice to copyright owners
If you believe Wikipedia is infringing your copyright, you may choose to raise the issue using Wikipedia:Request for immediate removal of copyright violation. Alternatively, you may choose to contact Wikipedia's designated agent under the terms of the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act.
Copyright infringement notice
Actions to take for text
Remove the text of the article, and replace it with the following:
{{copyvio|url=place URL of allegedly copied material here}} ~~~~
Where you replace "place URL of allegedly copied material here" with the Web address (or book or article reference) that contains the original source text. For example:
{{copyvio|url=http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/hovawart.htm}}
After removing the suspected text violation add an entry on this page under today's section at the bottom of this page.
Actions to take for images
If you suspect an image is violating copyright, add the following to the image description page:
{{imagevio|url=<place URL of allegedly copied image here>}}~~~~
After adding the text to the image information page add an entry on this page under today's section at the bottom of this page.
Special cases
Amazon copyrights
An interest has been expressed in the Wikipedia community to use images from Amazon.com, particularly with regard to cover art from commercial music recordings (albums).
When approached about permission to use images from their site, Amazon.com's official response was that such permission simply wasn't theirs to give. They say that the copyrights still belong to the holders of copyrights in the original works.
At this time, there is no official Wikipedia policy for or against using Amazon.com as a source of images such as album cover art. Note, however, that Wikipedia copyright policy is still in effect—uploaded images' descriptions should still contain proper attribution, a copyright notice if copyrighted, and a fair-use rationale if fair use is being claimed. (Simply make sure that the copyright is attributed to the true copyright holder and not Amazon.com.) For specific guidelines on images and copyright, see Wikipedia:Copyrights#Image_guidelines.
- Please list any amazon image copyright issues at Wikipedia:Images from Amazon.com. - Texture 16:59, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Pokémon images
The discussion on Pokémon images has been moved to Template talk:Pokeimage.
Used with permission images
These are all "used with permission" images (or have no info as to source) and thus cannot be used by third parties, thus they are not in the spirit of the GNUFDL and hinder the redistribution of Wikipedia content. Jimbo Wales said we cannot use those type of images as a result. [1] --mav 21:04, 3 May 2004 (UTC)
- I note that some of these images merely require credit and do not otherwise restrict usage. Since we are required by the GFDL to maintain authorship information, I don't see how that is incompatible. —Morven 21:30, 3 May 2004 (UTC)
- I'm in the process of removing those from the above list and re-classifying them as fairuse. --mav
- This appears to be an accurate scientific photograph. Does anyone see any sign of artistic creativity in lighting or other aspects of the presentation? Recall that in the US there must be some creativity to have copyright. Jamesday 13:26, 14 May 2004 (UTC)
- also Image:Peppered moth Biston betularia betularia f carbonaria.jpg --rbrwr± 13:18, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Non-commercial use images
As of June 30, 2004, images where permission is granted for non-commercial use only are not allowed. This is official Wikipedia policy pronounced by Jimbo Wales. [2]. As a result, all of these images now need to be removed from any associated articles and deleted. Before they are deleted, we should evaluate whether we can justify their use on other grounds, such as fair use. --Michael Snow 21:22, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Just to clarify, we are not yet to the point where wholesale deletions and actions against this type of image are warranted. We are still not to a satisfactory point in image tagging, and we want to finalize the new upload form (and get it active), so that we can better manage change in the future. It is advised not to upload any new non-commercial images now, and to seek replacements for non-commercial images that we have, but for today anyway, I recommend against people trying to hunt these down and extinguish them. We are going to try to have a smoother transition than that. Jimbo Wales 15:23, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- I have removed the link to http://cgfa.sunsite.dk/index.html from Wikipedia:Public domain image resources due to the non-commercial restricton. Shame, I was just about to use his Edvard Munch "Scream" image as it was from an "approved" source. PhilHibbs 12:05, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Image:Lichfield3spires.jpg is from FreeFoto.com. The uploader asserted it to be a copyright-free image, but the rules seem to be pretty clear to me that it's non-commercial only (and indeed personal-only, which would rule out use by the Wikimedia Foundation). Could I have a second opinion please?
- Image:ReyMysterioSpringboardDudley.jpg, Image:ReyMysterioCrossbody.jpg, and Image:EdgeDropKick.jpg are supposedly free for nonprofit educational use. I find this claim dubious. At any rate, that falls under this heading. It's a shame, because the wrestling articles could really benefit from some good illustrations. — Gwalla | Talk 05:06, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Poster claims to be the author or to have permission
When you originally report a suspected copyright violation, do not add it here, but at the very bottom of this page (under the heading for today's date). Typically, the issue will be resolved within the usual seven days. This section is intended for cases where a second opinion is needed, or where someone should follow-up by e-mail, and which thus need a little more time.
- River Valley Ranch. User claims on talk page to have copyright. Wyllium 06:57, 2004 Nov 13 (UTC)
- Image:Sinitic Languages.jpg This image seems to be copyrighted, and the uploader has not stated that he has permission to use it, although a request for it now is a month old. --Vikingstad 14:12, Jun 22, 2004 (UTC)
- Uploader states s/he's the copyright owner. See User talk:Naus. --Diberri | Talk 02:42, Jul 1, 2004 (UTC)
- Dentsu from [3] (according to vfd discussion on talk page) -- Graham ☺ | Talk 00:20, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- See Talk:Dentsu, author claims to be copyright holder. However if this turns out to be the case the page would need to be re-listed on vfd for content. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 09:55, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Egale Canada from [4] and others - Lucky 6.9 18:23, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Claims to be copyright holder on talk.Maximus Rex 23:09, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Tsubasa from [5] , but the (possible) vio was uploaded by the (claimed) author of the website: does this indicate she gives permission for it to be used under the GFDL, or just that she doesn't understand the GFDL? Pyrop 23:56, Aug 14, 2004 (UTC)
- No copyvio notice. E-mail given at extlink mentioned in article ends in "@dragonmount.com". www.dragonmount.com resolves to 66.221.104.33. No such IP ever edited the article. Somebody wants to follwo-up by e-mail? Lupo 11:29, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Carlos Martínez. Uploader is not the author but claims to have permission, see Talk:Carlos Martínez. Also, the site on which I found the text is apparently not the original either. I've reverted the copyvio, assuming good faith. Also I have contacted the email address informing that I've reverted and put the page here. If anybody feels the need for a follow-up, please do so. Sander123 11:24, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- article is now at Carlos Martínez (actor) and I don't see that allowing the text under GFDL has been resolved. If we can't confirm, should be relisted. -- Infrogmation 21:26, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Fair use claims needing a second opinion
Apparently the old Wikipedia:Fair use mechanism has fallen out of use. This section lists all cases (typically images) where a fair use claim was made during the initial seven days, and for which a second opinion is needed. Add your comments here, and when you remove an entry from here (and it is kept), copy the discussion to the (image) talk page.
- Winter Soldier Investigation#Origin - several paragraphs copied, not entire article - moved to Talk page. Editor claims fair use of plagiarized text in "Origin" section. Source has copyright notice. [6] Text and copyvio notice was reverted within 2 hours. SEWilco 21:31, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Image:MichelineBernardini.jpg in article Bikini. This is a significant event in the history of 20th century fashion, so I believe the image is under fair use in the related article. But I read a sceptical opinion in the article discussion page, so I need confirmation. -Hapsiainen 22:31, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)
- Image:Clim_map_kpngrp.jpg in article Australia. Doesn't look like fair use to me. --Robert Merkel 00:05, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Suspected copyright infringements without online source
These need a thorough check for online sources, and if none are found, a check for offline sources.
- KESHAV DUTT SHARMA is a huge and strangely worded obituary. It's an obvious C&P, but I don't know where it's from. - Lucky 6.9 00:00, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Italian exports, Italian Government, and Islam in Italy all smell like copyvios but I can't tell where from. They were all put up by User:82.43.213.217, and share the same writing style. Dave6 05:44, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- No copyvio notices on these articles. -- Infrogmation 14:21, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Remaining image uploads of User:Avnionur are probably also copyright violations, but I didn't find them. Articles are all checked. Lupo 09:58, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Problem images without documented source may be listed on Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images. -- Infrogmation 22:19, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler Was pasted in one go by an anonymous user. That seems suspicious to me. --P3d0 18:04, Sep 12, 2004 (UTC)
- American History of Modern Economic Philosophies - the article links to [7] which I believe to be the source, but the file is no longer available. David Johnson [T|C] 15:15, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Freystädtler - I've wikified this but then discovered it may be from "The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians" - can anyone confirm the whole artice is from there? Saintswithin 07:32, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, you are correct; the entire article is copied from there. The only changes are translations of some German words (e.g. "Totensänger" to "requiem singer"). Definite copyvio. Antandrus 18:18, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- The_Argument_Skit appears to be a verbatim transcript of copyrighted material. A few quotes might be Fair Use, but the whole thing? Dhodges 15:51, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Secondarysexualcharacteristics looks very much like a copy-paste job, but i couldn't find an online reference. Not sure about it. Lady Tenar 21:00, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Bring da Ruckus complete (or near-complete) song text of recent song. Outside fair use IMHO, and not an article anyway Lady Tenar 21:08, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
List of other copyright problems
- Category:Unfree images
- Note that some of these may not actually be unfree images, but rather images which are released under multiple licenses. anthony (see warning) 10:00, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Category:Images with missing copyright information
- These should replaced and many should be listed for deletion. Those that are currently orphaned can be listed on images for deletion. Guanaco 00:42, Aug 3, 2004 (UTC)
- Images by Donar. Images from various web sites. --Amillar 22:55, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Data recovery: parts are from [8]. Other parts may be original text. Samw 12:45, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- The whole text is from Infocog - but I wonder if this is a non compliant mirror. Some text also seems to be from [9]. Secretlondon 00:25, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- USAir Flight 427 from [10] Dunc_Harris|☺ 16:23, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- But this is a reprint of a document submitted to the US NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD - does that make it PD? Secretlondon 00:55, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Sunday Times Rich List 2003 (1-500) and Sunday Times Rich List 2003 (501-1000) - is the compilaton of this information copyrighted/ RickK 22:00, Aug 19, 2004 (UTC)
- Well then. Should a copyvio notice be added to those articles? -- Infrogmation 07:11, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Early Childhood Autism - Comes from a private wiki where content is copyright contributors. Contains several images that are almost certainly copyvios. See link from original author's pages. It's unclear where the article came from (e.g. was generated on that wiki or not). This will require some research to sort out. --Improv 18:27, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Content is copyright contributors on this wiki too. I don't see anything wrong with it. The images are such low quality that they are almost certainly fair use.
- Someone else who was looking into this on IRC has said that that wiki does not mandate GFDL. With regards to the images, it may be that the content (i.e. text that is used for medical purposes) is copyright. If so, regardless of image quality, it may be covered by copyright. We need to be careful (low-res pictures of an entire short story are not fair use) --Improv 14:39, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Content is copyright contributors on this wiki too. I don't see anything wrong with it. The images are such low quality that they are almost certainly fair use.
- Cerrone has very similar text to artists own website [11]. --Harriv 22:05, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Is Arun Gandhi too similar to [12], [13], and [14]? 68.81.231.127 10:54, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Spanish Civil War: I've made major reversions, dealing with material added by the same user noted Jan 1 for Millán Astray, Battle of Brunete, Legion Irlandaise. Material largely seems to come from pages subordinate to [18]. It may not be all copyvio, but I figured better safe than sorry. Further discussion at Talk:Spanish_Civil_War#Detailed_chronology. I won't be surprised if this one gets dicey. User:Rdsmith4 advised me on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard that I should just block the guy. That seems excessive to me, but I'm not sure what should happen. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:26, Jan 3, 2005 (UTC)
- This is now resolved. It is OK to use this material. Discussed at Talk:Spanish Civil War. -- Jmabel | Talk 00:35, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)
Old
- Image:Anne-real.jpg Historical picture of Anne Frank, but the Anne Frank House aggressively claims copyright on all such pictures, as can be seen at [19]. --Shibboleth 02:56, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Image is taken from a U.S. source [20] and used here under the fair use doctrine. I don't like to take proactive action—this should stay unless a lawyer really complains and the Wikimedia foundation then decides to remove the picture. As an alternative, consider using nl:Afbeelding:Dagboek anne frank.jpg, scan of a book cover showing Anne Frank, from [21]. Lupo 09:08, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Under the request by Rigel who reported many copyright violated edits in ja.wp. Rigel left a message on my User talk:Aphaia and warn that the edits by User:rantaro and anonymous user User:61.22.157.95(ja) in the below are similar to the Jehovah's Wittnesses publish matter (tr. in Japanese) according to their content:
- Shwebomin from [28] -- Cyrius|✎ 21:57, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Original poster removed the copyright violation notice! -- Infrogmation 04:03, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- This whole group of articles and images is claimed on the talk pages to be used with authorization, but the authorization doesn't seem particularly official, so would require some follow-up. --Delirium 03:43, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)
List of possible copyright problems
October 30
- Goblin Valley State Park - complicated as only parts seem copyvio--first sentence gets 3 hits, "Goblins of infinite design will greet you!" gets 2 hits, "Story of Goblin Valley" section directly from [29], several parts of Guidelines section are word for word matches with sites about other Utah state parks. Niteowlneils 20:12, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
November 12
- Edits by special:contributions/64.95.73.208
- Part of Karnataka also from [30] Thue | talk 21:10, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Hoysala Empire and Karnataka were reverted; Chitradurga still has the {{unverified}} map Image:Chitradurga.jpg in it. --rbrwr± 13:12, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Part of Karnataka also from [30] Thue | talk 21:10, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
November 21
- Vedas (old edition) from [31]. From "There is hardly any Hindu" up to "Why this circumlocution?" - Vague | Rant 07:56, Nov 21, 2004 (UTC)
- 203.199.120.7 is a serial copyright violator. I have commented on his user page twice, and since I have noticed that in addition to violations I have found, BrokenSegue also removed Problems In Hinduism, a repost of Riddle In Hinduism, which I removed. - Vague | Rant 08:10, Nov 21, 2004 (UTC)
- List of "Shit happens" jokes from [32]; new material has been added since, but the copyright on the jokes individually and the collection of jokes is probably valid against the page still Mozzerati 22:11, 2004 Nov 21 (UTC)
- Tag removed. This page has no copyright for the jokes listed due to prior art.Mikkalai 23:11, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Prior art is for patents. What you need is a release from the copyright owner. The claim that it comes from an unknown usenet posting makes this even more unlikely. If it came from a known and linked to usenet posting then we could check directly who wrote it and what they said about copyright. I'm going to revert the removal of the tag (one time). Mozzerati
- Mikkalai has removed some contested jokes and removed the tag. At the same time a discussion has started on the village pump. If this reaches the end of the copyvio process without completion of the discussion it should be put into the long term problems section. Mozzerati 20:36, 2004 Nov 23 (UTC)

November 24
- The Lost and Found Department presents more articles and images tagged as copyvios but not currently listed on this page... --rbrwr± 20:25, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Diane Duane from [33]
- This is from Diane Duane's official biography. She has contacted me about it and as a result of our discussions has agreed to produce a version of it which will be released under the GFDL. Hopefully this will be done within the next week or so. --rbrwr± 12:03, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Have you heard back? Can we resolve this soon? Thanks, -- Infrogmation 17:35, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

- Diane Duane from [33]
November 26
- In the absence of any reply from User:Esparkhu, it might be a good idea to take a look at all of their edits. See User_talk:Esparkhu for discussion. An example: Bloom syndrome and [34]. Note also Image:Autorecessive.jpg, and it might also be worth looking at the pages linking to that image, too. -- Karada 19:59, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
December 3
- Image:BostonGlobe-04ElectionIssues.gif - used without permission of the Boston Globe. -- Netoholic @ 08:55, 2004 Dec 3 (UTC)
- Automatic Picture Transmission from [35]. - Vague | Rant 10:18, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)
- Universal virtual computer from [36] (PDF). Google's HTML conversion: [37]. - Vague | Rant 10:25, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)
- Has been reverted and cut-and-pasted to Universal Virtual Computer; poster (User:Jrvanderhoeven) is apparently the author of the original material. See /Talk. He claims there is no copyright problem; however, the PDF says that permission must be gained from IBM Netherlands N.V. --rbrwr± 00:03, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- English grammar adverbs - section "The Position of Adverbs" is taken from [38]; sources for other sections not yet determined. --MarkSweep 10:41, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- La Raza Unida Party from [41] --MarkSweep 10:57, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
December 9
- Je Tsongkhapa from [42] Nat Krause 03:38, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Eau Claire City Council from [43] Brianjd 08:35, 2004 Dec 9 (UTC)
- These seem to be public records of a city government. Are they copyrightable? --Gene s 08:45, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- They are not under copyright, they are in the public domain Micah 23:18, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- The discussion at /Talk is quite interesting; it seems possible that (almost) all Wisconsin government documents are PD, in which case this should be recorded somewhere (Wikipedia:Public domain resources?) to guide (a) future WP:CP cases and (b) provide Wikipedians with a source of PD materials. Having said that, wisconsin.gov has a copyright policy which implies that they do have copyright. --rbrwr± 17:30, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- After looking at the Wisconsin Copyright page, it says that "The fair use guidelines of the U.S. copyright statutes apply to all material on theWisconsin.gov and linked agency Webpages." Then it says "For copy or use of information on the State of Wisconsin website that is outside of the fair use provisions of copyright law, please seek permission from the individual listed as responsible for the page." Isn't Wikipedia using this for fair use? Micah 23:55, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Maybe so, but Fair use is not the same as public domain. If you want to assert fair use, go ahead. I would still like to know whether it really is PD, because it makes a difference to future copyvio cases. --rbrwr± 19:48, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

- This was rewritten in /Temp mainly by User:Brianiii, and the rewrite was then cut-and-pasted over the copyvio by the original anon poster. Be careful to preserve appropriate history on this article... --rbrwr± 20:20, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- This would be an interesting test of the power to undelete selected revisions which has been granted to sysops in MediaWiki 1.4; we could delete the article, move the /Temp across and then undelete clean revisions of the original article (i.e. 2004-12-09-16:52 and later), thus leaving a clean version with the correct history.

- Very interesting. Where copyright boilerplate was just copied into the page, before templates and categories were invented, an unlisted copyvio might just sit there indefinitely, and would not have been caught in my recent "lost+found" trawls. There are probably more like that hiding in the database. I am looking at this page's "what links here" to pick them up, and it seems that even some pages that are tagged with {{msg:copyvio}} haven't been picked up by the category.

- Most of the articles in Category:Maltese nobility seem to have been authored mainly by Charles Said-Vassallo, and they seem to be verbatim copies or derived from text on his website, maltagenealogy.com, and on maltesenobility.org, another website with which he is associated. He has added the text "This research was kindly carried out by Charles Said-Vassallo" to the bottom of most of these articles. However, on several of the articles, such as Ghariexem e Tabia, the following text appears, possibly copied from the original website, "The information contained in this site is the sole property of the owners of this site and no part may be reproduced without the specific permission of the owners." This suggests that the user does not realize that he has granted users of Wikipedia license to copy and use his text under the GFDL. I notice also that on some of the Talk pages related to these articles, and on his User Talk page that there is some evidence of possible misuderstanding of the status of this text now that it has been put into Wikipedia articles. --BM 20:01, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

- VVAW and Winter Soldier Investigation from various sources, documented here [94]. I would also add that these violations are continualy reinserted into the article by a particularly persistent anon [95],[96] TDC 00:06, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC) .
- The Winter Soldier Investigation article has been disputed for a while, with multiple page protections. It should be noted that the "particularly persistent anon" (who signs as "Rob") made this edit to Talk:Winter Soldier Investigation on December 30, in which he responded to TDC's allegation of plagiarism. (That edit also restored considerable material that TDC wants archived and Rob wants kept current. To see the new comment on alleged plagiarism, skip to the last three paragraphs.) Since then, TDC has twice returned to the talk page to keep up his part in the revert war over what to archive, but has not deigned to address Rob's December 30 comments on the charge of plagiarism. Instead of continuing the discussion, TDC made this edit on January 6, slapping on the copyvio template. As for Vietnam Veterans Against the War, the "discussion" has been confined to edit summaries in a revert war. After several reversions by TDC in which he reiterated "RV, plagarized content will not be allowed to stay", an anon (presumably Rob) made this edit with the edit summary, "Cite the material on Discussion page please, you know the rules". TDC's only response was this edit adding the copyvio template (no edit summary, no comment on Talk:Vietnam Veterans Against the War, a page that incidentally has seen no action since November 1). A listing on Wikipedia:Copyright problems is not a sensible way for the Wikipedia community to try to resolve this situation. I suggest that the listing be removed and that TDC and Rob be strongly urged to accept mediation. And that all of us, even we agnostics, should pray for the soul of the assigned mediator.

- The problem with them being an employee and submitting the information is that the information still isn't in the public domain, and they may have not received official permission from the college to post that information elsewhere on-line. I live in Connecticut, but I can't take information from the state tourism website and post it at Connecticut, even though my tax money pays for that site. (Maybe a poor analogy, but I think my point is clear.) Rather than contacting that specific user, the college itself should be contacted about this. Just because they work there, that doesn't mean they can give free access to copyrighted material from the institution. Beginning 16:07, Jan 9, 2005 (UTC)
- OK everyone ... the matter of the Augsburg College article has been brought to the attention of appropriate college officials. The question about releasing that material into GFDL has been raised with them as well. I expect some noodling around will occur for awhile. The question remains: Once the appropriate people make a decision, how does "the institution" make its wishes known?
- The Center for Global Education is a program of Augsburg College. This whole thing is a bit of a mess but the reasons for raising the concerns are understood and it's fixable. --MacSigh 05:25, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)
- In the matter of the Grahm Jr. College article, a dialogue is now underway with the author of the material from which it is drawn.

I have added a "fairold" tag to it, since the photo is atleast 57 years old, used for informational purposes, and a photo of a famous personality. Could someone please take a look at the above image and let me know if the rationale I provided at the image description page is ok? And can we go ahead with using it under vintage fair use?

- I don't think this is a copyvio since it appears that User:218.111.9.11 is coordinating an effort to post this to several Wikipedia languages. Needless to say it's a bad idea, the article is probably not encyclopedic. Also judging by the numerous ads on the page, this may simply be someone spamming the article to increase their pagerank.
