Talk:Rudolf Caracciola

message: I'd like to get some thoughts on this image (the lead image). What makes it PD-US? It would be a bit of a bummer to lose it. Apterygial 06:48, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm, it looks bad. Certainly not blanket PD as clearly published post-1923. The original uploader provides no source info so this image is liable for immediate deletion from Commons anyway. Pyrope 16:40, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably not, although the user uploading it de:User:Stahlkocher was an sysop at Commons and is one at de-wiki (assuming they are the same as there is no SUL) and might be knowledgeable as to the source of the image. I have left them a note at their de-wiki talk page, maybe they can solve the "riddle". Regards SoWhy 09:11, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the original uploader, it was released in the US without a copyright notice, which should make it eligible for public domain (the Commons tag has been changed accordingly). Regards SoWhy 10:10, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

message: While on the subject of images, this one also looks a bit dodgy. Uploader claims to hold copyright and releases to Public Domain, but the photographer is listed as 'unknown'. Thoughts? AlexJ (talk) 19:49, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I left a note at the uploader's Italian talk page (they still appear to be reasonably active there) asking for a confirmation of the license and details. If I don't get a result in a week I'll probably email them. Apterygial 21:52, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: From what I can tell, if it is published pot-1923 with an unknown author the copyright term is 120 years... Pyrope 12:32, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Have emailed. Apterygial 04:26, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Got that sorted. In short, the picture was never published, and TFopper found it in an old photo album. Therefore, he does have the right to release to public domain. Just that really important picture left to sort out. Apterygial 23:34, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

message: More random stuff, nothing major:
*"from his fourteenth birthday wanted to be a racing driver" Sounds slightly odd to me - why such a specific day? But if that's what the ref says, then no problem, obviously!
**You are right, that is odd, but it's what the ref says. I wonder what happened on his fourteenth birthday? Apterygial 10:55, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

message: There are some discrepancies about the age at which he received his driver's license. The German Wikipedia entry cites "special circumstances" which allowed him to obtain a license at the age of 15. The official city of Remagen website lists his age at either 15  or 16 . Does anyone have some verifiable details? Mabuse (talk) 03:19, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Your German is clearly much better than mine! The only source I could find when I was writing this was the source I used, Bolsinger and Becker, who say that he gained it before the age of eighteen, which seems essentially a catch-all for what the Remagen website says. Apterygial 04:07, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting! This is certainly worth noting because according to the history of drivers' licenses in Germany here  the legal age at the time was 18. I'll edit the section accordingly.  Mabuse (talk) 03:56, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
