January 10

Image:Dudley.jpg

I'm not sure how best to correct this one. Listing here since it needs fixing, and to request someone more experienced does so (and hopefully leaves a message on my talk page to explain what the correct procedure was for another time).

Image:Dudley.jpg was until recently, an image of Dudley Manlove from the film Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959). A file by the same name was uploaded on january 9 to illustrate a form of dog coloring also called "Dudley".

The new image appears to have been sourced from woodhavenlabs.com on a page that states "The content on this website is not public domain. Please do not download or copy our pictures, graphics or text." The original picture was PD (movie still) and that license is still listed on the image page.

What probably needs to happen (I would think) is the new image needs removal as a suspected copyvio, including removal from articles where it is used, the older image needs reinstating under that name, and the uploader needs to be advised of the issue in some way.

Can someone sort this out and describe the detailed steps needed for another time? Thanks. FT2 ^{(Talk | email)} 14:09, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Defintely classifies as {politicalposter}. Highly relevant in the Umbverto Guidoni article. Please note constant attempts at that article's page to downtone Guidoni's political activity and even erase any mention that Guidoni is elected to the European Parliament. --Soman 09:27, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep I am currently using this image to give a visual representation of the card. I have a hyperlink to this image so it is not an orphaned image. So it should be removed from this list immediately. I also have a small artical about this card on my user page but since you cannot have fair use images on a userpage I just put a hyperlink to the image on my userpage. I will be creating an artical using these images as soon as possible but I am pretty busy with school. I do not want them deleted until I can create this artical.

Delete all three unless they are being used in the creation of an article. Non-free images are not permitted outside of article space so unless there is an article being created about these cards, we don't really need to keep them. --BigDT 22:59, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain what it is that you all are doing with these images and with your user pages? Fair use images are not permitted in user space and any fair use image not used in an article may be deleted - they don't even need to come through IFD. You seem to be creating a walled garden or something with your user pages? Wikipedia:User page states that user pages should not be used for, among other things, "Games, roleplaying sessions, and other things pertaining to "entertainment" rather than "writing an encyclopedia," particularly if they involve people who are not active participants in the project". --BigDT 02:08, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Actually created from scratch to merely be remenicint. --InShaneee 03:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- How it was created doesn't matter; the question is whether it reproduces any copyrightable content. The idea of the incomplete circle and arrangement of the whole, for example, could be under copyright. Chick Bowen 04:08, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Could be, but I'd like to think this is distinct enough. --InShaneee 14:20, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep I see nothing wrong with it. Big Boss 0 14:46, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - It would be trademark infringement, if anything, but not copyright violation IMO. None of the creative elements of the X-files logo are copied, so it doesn't really seem to be a copyright violation. (In other words, if I write, "THE FILES" in white on a black background, there aren't but so many ways to do that, so it isn't necessarilly a creative act and I would have no rights to stop other people from similarly writing "THE FILES".) Is it a trademark infringement? I don't know and honestly, this is outside of my area of expertise. I wouldn't want to create a TV show called "THE P FILES" ... but this seems unrelated enough. (In other words, if I open up a store called "The Wahoo Store" right next door to the University of Virginia and I'm selling sporting goods, they have every right to stop me. But if I am selling fish in California, they would have a hard time making a case for infringement. --BigDT 22:52, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: for comparison, here is the x-files logos: TV Logo & Movie Logo. I notice that every major design element is different in non-minor ways, so I'm fairly confident that it isn't a copyvio. However, is this close enough to infringe on a trademark? I think the fact that were not a business entity and were not competing in a similar market fairly well protects us from those concerns. If we were making a movie and had a logo like this it might not pass-muster... but we aren't competing with them so the standard for similarity is much higher. So... ummm... my recomendation is to keep the image. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 05:16, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep The concept of using the first name or initial of something followed by files predates the X-files and is too widely used in fiction for it to be considered a copyright vio. For example, the Rochford files from 1974. The artistry might be trademark vio if used commercially, but its significantly different and based on a generic enough concept not to be a copyright vio. Plus it's scratch drawn. perfectblue 08:57, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I vote Keep too, Yes, it looks like the X-files logo, but wikipedia isn't making money off of it, and is just using it as a sort of sig for the project. The Pokemon Project uses a Pokeball with a W on it, does that not also make it s copyright violation? The idea of a logo for a project is to represent the project with an image.--Honeymane_{Heghlu meH QaQ jajvam} 01:18, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Extremly strong keep - This is the logo for WikiProject Paranormal. What other logo can be found for WikiProject Paranormal? Kamope · talk · contributions 21:09, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
