:This is an educational non-profit organization. As long as the photos are credited I don't believe anyone would even attempt to file suit against the wikipedia, especially in regards to a photo of Churchill or Einstein. Juan Hernandez
::Wikipedia is not an educational organization.... Where are the classrooms ?
:Yer in one... Juan Hernandez
:We don't need fair use. These photos are Public Domain.  I'm uploading better version of these photos giving proper referecences and copyright datas. Ericd 20:54 Apr 18, 2003 (UTC)

message: The beginning of the biography starts by saying:
:At the age of 14, Karsh fled with his family to the safety of Syria.
What was he fleeing, from which he would be safe in Syria?  The article does not say! Michael Hardy 00:44, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: :Image:First official Canadian Citizenship ceremony at the Supreme Court building.jpg indicates that Karsh was among the first people sworn in as Canadian citizens in 1947. Is that worth mentioning in this article? - TheMightyQuill (talk) 17:51, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's notable, so I'd say yes. The image is public domain, so it possibly could go in the article also (even though it's not a Karsh portrait:) Franamax (talk) 18:22, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Someone needs to review this and do a full rewrite.  In looking for examples of Karsh's pictures, I found that this article was lifted almost in whole from this site at TwinIsles. --Harper (talk) 13:10, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: They plagiarized us. See the credit at the bottom of the page. --Adoniscik(t, c) 19:05, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plagiarized article 

message: I heard long ago that Karsh, having carefully posed the shot, reached over and took away Churchill's cigar seconds before the picture was taken -- causing the famous look of stern, cold disapproval. If someone can verify this story and work it into the flow of the article, it might be an interesting addition.

replies: text: Heh, I agreed so much that I added two sentences with a source. Then I looked at the extensive dicussion of the incident in the "Work" section and reverted my own duplication of that. :) Seems to be well-covered already... Franamax (talk) 22:57, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: !! You're right. Missed that part of the article. Thulcandra (talk) 04:04, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Background on the Churchill photo(?) 

message: I just edited the page to correct the location of Karsh's studio from his return to Canada in the 1930s until he relocated it to the Chateau Laurier in 1973.  I added external references to two articles to document this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by RickDeNatale (talk • contribs) 22:36, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

message: The file :c:File:Sir Winston Churchill - 19086236948.jpg has been nominated for deletion on Commons 
 Reason: I don't understand the decision above. The final comment, "The Karsh photo of Churchill is PD in Canada and the US since it was published in a 1945 issue of Life magazine. URAA affects images published or taken after 1945 in Canada. --Leoboudv () 09:44, 21 August 2017 " is wrong. It was, indeed, the cover of Life in 1945. That issue of Life had its copyright renewed, so the image will be under copyright in the USA until 2040.
