Paranthropus robustus edit
- Nominator(s): User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 19:16, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
This article is about one of the first australopithecine species every described, and it's known from the Cradle of Humankind, South Africa; lived alongside human ancestors from 2–1 million years ago (maybe up to 600,000 years ago); and is most notable for the males having heavily built, gorilla-like skulls. Currently, Orangutan is the only ape FA, and I'm trying to get other articles to join it User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 19:16, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

- File:TM_1517.jpg: licensing provided doesn't match that at source site. Ditto File:SK_46.jpg
- fixed User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 16:04, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
- File:Cradle_of_Humankind_plan.jpg: what is the source of the data presented?
- I'm not sure but I would assume google maps. If you want, I can list the map here as a source, or upload the map from [2] which is CC-BY-4.0 (but highlights Rising Star Cave which P. robustus is not known from), or this map which is kinda pixelly User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 16:04, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
- File:DNH_7_Reconstruction.jpg: what sources underlie this reconstruction?
- I drew this based on this skull and it was reviewed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Palaeontology/Paleoart review#Paranthropus robustus which is where other user-made reconstructions are reviewed User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 16:04, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
- File:Paranthropus_robustus_killed_by_leopard.jpg: I don't understand the licensing presented - could you explain? Nikkimaria (talk) 15:15, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
- there is no FOP in South Africa, so normally images of sculptures wouldn't be allowed on Commons, but since this sculpture is in PD, the photo is allowed, and the person who took the photo released the photo under a CC-BY-SA-4.0 license User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 16:04, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
- For the photo, I don't see a photographer release with that license - where is that? And for the display, when was it created and why specifically is it believed to be PD? Nikkimaria (talk) 17:15, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
- the website says "The Appendix was published between 2012 and 2015, released under the CC-BY license", and that the diorama was commissioned by the Ditsong Museums of South Africa (a state organization) by an unknown author sometimes in the late 1960s (at least 50 years have elapsed), and therefore it qualifies under "It is an artistic, literary or musical work created under the direction of the state or an international organization and 50 years have passed since the year the work was published" User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 19:55, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
- CC-BY ! = CC BY-SA, and as the images are listed as courtesy of someone not the author, I'm not sure they are covered by that license. The article also states the dioramas were "receiving makeovers" as of 2010; is it known that this particular one dates to the 1960s instead? Nikkimaria (talk) 20:18, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
- You know, now that I'm really thinking about it, the diorama is probably based on the SK 54 skullcap which was interpreted as a leopard attack victim in 1970 User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 20:29, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

Coordinator comment - This has dropped well into the Older Nominations section without any support for promotion or substantial prose review. Therefore, I will be archiving it shortly and it may be re-nominated after the customary two-week waiting period. --Laser brain (talk) 02:01, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
