Why are images of license plates being deleted?

I'm sure that this topic has been addressed (possibly on another talk page somewhere).. but it's an old subject. If memory serves me right - the main reason was that the individual states themselves have the copywrite laws on the images of the plates that they produce, thus not allowing individuals to take pictures and post them here on Wiki as their own image.

However - with that being said, you can go to several other states, and view lots of images listed there on their particular article. I don't understand then why some of these states appear empty and void of all images, where others have pictures? We need a way to legally get the right back to be able to post these images on these articles otherwise in my opinion it doesn't make the article as noteworthy.

Updated references

I've now added a few references to make this article more noteworthy. And, thus removed the need for the references header at the top. Zul32 (talk) 16:20, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Formatting/Layout of the article

FYI - I've looked at the Alabama article (and other states), and I'm attempting to put this into the same format as most states appear to continue with consistency and standardization among all the states. Many of the older plates will most likely be repaints, but if people have original paint pictures to contribute to the wiki commons, that would be appreciated. Zul32 (talk) 19:03, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

Request to add sticker section

I would like to see a sticker section (with 3 tables: one for general stickers, one for special plate stickers, and one for others (such as apportioned, and non-expiring)). Is anyone willing to add it? If not, then I guess I will. Fwrrllwee (talk) 03:53, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

New vintage black plate from 1968 is back

In 2023, The DMV brought the 1968 white on black plates back. So I think it should be in the “Optional plates” section. Is anybody willing to add it? If not, I will then. Fwrrllwee (talk) 15:03, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Front license plates

Approximately a third of new cars dont have front license plates installed in spite of two plates being issued. A bill is being worked on for the 2024 state legislature that would phase out over the next year the front license plate, so the requirement will likely be similar to AZ where it will only be required in the back. 76.23.43.17 (talk) 00:35, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
