Talk:Chip Pickering

message: The copyright status on the two images (particularly the first, which actually has the caption as part of the image) seems questionable to me. Everyking 11:30, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

message: The image doesn't belong regardless of copyvio issues. The caption is ample demonstration of that. I would like to see any other biography with an image with the caption 'this photo formerly appeared on his website'. Such an image should surely be removed. Allstarecho alleges that is shows the time of his life with in Congress. Frankly, this a rather silly suggestion since we have no idea when this photo was taken, it could have been before he was in Congress for all we know at some theme park. If we want to have a useful photo, we need one that we actually know something about, preferably a rough idea of when and where it was taken, at least if we know it was actually taken while Pickering was a Congressperson, rather then presuming to know when the photo was taken when we clearly don't, and using one added for the sole purpose of a clear BLP violating OR claim of wrongdoing by an editor with a clear grudge . While the internet archive of Pickering's website is somewhat incomplete, it's not that hard to find such a photo, e.g.  (4th or 5th image) (5th image)  (2nd image). I'm personally not convinced of the copyright status of any of these images, including the one that keeps getting added back, so I won't be adding any of these myself. Also I frankly couldn't give a damn about some American I've never heard of, who has no bearing in my life, but despire BLP violations. But it should be trivial for someone who actually wants to add such an image, with the same IMHO questionable copyright status, which we can at least caption in a useful way rather then just saying it appeared on his website, which I must repeat again is one of the sillest captions I've seen (even no caption would be better). We have to use free photos yes, and we have to make do with what's available sometimes, but it's not necessary to sink that low. Nil Einne (talk) 09:50, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Deleted image with disparaging filename. Without clarity about copyright status and some reliable sources about the significance and alleged meaning of the image, it should not be re-added. Rd232 talk 10:48, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That's utter ridiculousness. You could have just renamed the file in moving it to Commons where free images belonged. The BLP issues were addressed in doing away with the BLP-vio caption of the image. However, the image was a free image from a .gov web site and should not have been deleted. What has taken place here only speaks of your own POV violation. -  ALLST✰R▼echo wuz here  20:28, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Considering the copyright status of the image is unclear uploading it to commons would have been inappropriate. I also don't get why this image even matters, as I said there are plenty of other images from the historic site on archive.org, if you for whatever reason are going to claim that all the images there are works of (or on behalf of) the US federal government or otherwise in the public domain, you can at least choose a less contentious image.
