message: What about the use of "she" instead of the "it"?--Littlejohn53 11:12, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think because it would sound strange to use "she" for a ship with a male name (George). --Kimon 16:17, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

text: I agree. I was just responding as to why the original editor chose the masculine. --Kimontalk 22:49, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Why photos in PD in Greece removed?
Acording to Greek Law 2121 of 1993 (Government's Gazette 25 A 1993) about Copyright declares:
Article 2  
5. The protection of present law is not extended in official texts with that are expressed the exercise of constitutional competence and same in legislatively, administrative or juridicial texts, as well as in the expressions of popular delivery, in the news and in the simple events or data.
Article 25 Use for reasons of information 
1. It is allowed, without the authorisation of author and without wage in the measure that is justified by the sought aim: a) the reproduction and the distribution in the public, for reasons of description of topical events with means of mass communication of work, that are seen or heard at the duration such event b) the reproduction and the distribution in the public with means of mass communication to the aim of briefing on topical events of political reasons, addresses, preachings, judicial allocutions or other work of similar nature, as well as summaries or extracts from lectures, provided that this work is presented in public.
2. The reproduction and the distribution in the public should, when this is possible, be accompanied from the clue of source and the name of author.

replies: text: The problem is that Wikipedia is sited in Florida in the United States and must adhere (with respect to Greek photos) to both US and Greek copyright law.  In the United States, anything published before 1923 in the U.S. is in the public domain.  For anything published later, with only a few execptions, photos are not in the PD until (in some cases) 120 years after creation.  See United States copyright law.  I am also frustrated with this, as Greek law is much more open than U.S. law, but there it is. Argos'Dad 22:15, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That doesn't make sense as an explanation. Florida law has no jurisdiction over the determination of copyright in Greece. If the Greek state considers one of its own photos to be unprotected, Florida cannot say otherwise. NipsonAnomimata (talk) 20:51, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Averof2.jpg

message: In Philadelphia we also have a surviving armored cruiser, the Olympia, which also is quite important historically, as it was Admiral Dewey's flagship at the Battle of Manila Bay, and also brought the Unknown Soldier from France to the US after WW I. It is owned by a private society, and is out of commission, and the interior has been nicely but not completely restored, but now requires major work to the hull.
The ship is older, dating to about 1890, and does not have a secondary battery in turrets, but in barbettes. It is open to inspection, along with a WW II US submarine.
