  • Hidden Image: This is an animated gif, after a short time another image appears which is an odd collage of what appears to be spelunking, Hugh B. Cave himself and a speach bubble with the word "Patent." While this does not necessarily seem to be a copyright violation, it is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. I added a comment to the talk page but shortly afterwards decided that a deletion request was probably more appropriate. AdamBMorgan (talk) 19:26, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • image is from unknown origin, copyright unclear, purpose unclear. entire work is used (likely publicity photo) where a screenshot is less infringing as it is only a partial image from a larger work. replace with screenshot, as done with several shows, i.e. Star Trek Ejfetters (talk) 23:39, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That guidance is specifically about which images to prioritise in lists. It is accepted that images of actors out of character are not a substitute for in-character representations of that character in articles solely devoted to the particular character.

    • As stated before, screencaps are less infringing. Rememeber this image has 1 - no source, 2 - is of unknown origin (even if someone searches google images do we know who holds the copyright?) 3 - the purpose can be speculated but we can't be sure without evidence that its use here is permissable. Shows such as Star Trek (TNG, DS9 etc.) has mass nominations for its publicity images and the outcome was that the screencaps are less infringing because there are a miniscule portion of the entire work (one frame from an episode with thousands of frames) and the publicity image is the entire work. How would the arguments made for the numerous Star Trek publicity images be any different from The West Wing publicity images? Ejfetters (talk) 06:52, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
