  • The vast majority of the uses are from WikiProject Albums templates. The WikiProject was informed of the problem with the image and advised to provide a suitable replacement. —Psychonaut (talk) 08:36, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. There is sufficient artwork depicted here (including two nearly whole cartoon panels) at high enough resolution to establish this photograph as a derivative of a non-free work. It's already been deleted from Commons for this reason. Fortunately since the usual purpose of this image seems to be to depict albums or vinyl records in a generic sense, it should be very easy to produce a replacement. There are, for example, many public-domain and freely licensed album covers at Commons:Category:Album covers, some of them for very popular albums. All we need is for someone who owns one or two of them to photograph them in a similar arrangement. —Psychonaut (talk) 08:45, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any reason to think the uploader doesn't hold the copyright. You can't even find a full-size photo (which the uploader clearly has). Look at their editing history - it's likely someone associated with Mick Manning and Brita Granstrom, and whoever takes the pictures/maintains the website would naturally be tasked with stuff like uploading pics to their Wiki articles. COI, perhaps, but no reason to assume that the uploader is lying about having taken it. Kafziel ^{Complaint Department: Please take a number} 19:15, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• "PD-Italy, PD-Croatia (country of original publication unclear)"

If the country of original publication is unclear, how can you tell whether it was published? In particular,

FYI, the image was given the all-clear at

The public domain templates indicate the copyright status in Italy and Croatia, but Wikipedia requires the photo to be free in the United States. The photo can only be in the public domain in the United States if the photo was published before 1 March 1989, but this criterion is most likely met. Additionally, the photo must have been in the public domain in the country of first publication on 1 January 1996, and this is where it gets more shaky.

If it was first published in Italy, then it was in the public domain in the country of first publication if it was taken at least 20 years before 1996 (i.e. before 1976). We know that this is the case, so there is no issue.

If it was first published in Croatia and is anonymous, then it must have been published at least 50 years before 1996 (i.e. before 1946). Considering that the origin of the photo seems to be unknown, how can we know that it was indeed published before 1946? Also, if the original publication is unknown, how can we tell that the photographer's name isn't given there? If the photographer's name is given in that publication, then the requirement is instead that the photographer must have died at least 50 years before 1996 (i.e. before 1946), and this is even less likely.

If it was first published in Croatia, and if it was protected by copyright in Croatia on 1 January 1996, then the copyright expires in the United States 95 years after publication (assuming that it was published before 1978). --

We did try to gather some feedback on Wiki and Commons about those images, but had no luck. The original image is at [[1]], the source is an active web-link at [[2]] pointing to some scanned online-book in Croatian (?, not sure). The original uploader would speak English, but i have never posted on a Wiki with a different codepage. If anyone can read Croatian or offer further guidance , that would be great.

Just to clarify, the photograph must have been taken before September 1943, because that was when the Italians capitulated. My collaborator on this article (User:PRODUCER) reads the lingo (unlike me) and has native English, I will ask him to have a look to see if he can clarify further.

The caption for the image says: "Herzegovinian Chetnik commander Dobroslav Jevđević, in the presence of Italian officers, calls the Chetniks in the war against the liberation army. In Herzegovina, February 1943." --◅

• Delete Copyright status is unclear so it must be deleted. The relevant Bosnia copyright law is from 2010, after 1996. This is not free in U.S. but is free in Bosnia. See also: Commons:Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory#Bosnia_and_Herzegovina. Ramaksoud2000 ^{(Talk to me)} 05:50, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • What do you mean? Although Bosnia's current copyright law appears to be from 2010, the country also had a copyright law before that, and the copyright status in the United States depends on one of the earlier Bosnian laws. --
