Original – The Amiga 500 personal computer system, pictured with a monitor, a mouse, a keyboard, and a floppy disk drive.
Reason
This is Amiga500 system.jpg, a image of a highly notable computer system, the Commodore Amiga 500. Pictured by Bill Bertram (Pixel8) (on all revisions except for the first one, which was made by Hellisp), it looks very high quality with professional visual standards and high resolution. It is the captioned lead image in the Amiga and Amiga 500 articles and uses the CCASA 2.5 Generic license, plus it gives readers an easy-to-digest understanding of what the Amiga (and Amiga 500) is. The facts in both articles prove it well. There's a decent file description in English. It is also a Quality image on Wikimedia Commons and was Picture of the Day on that website for April 24, 2007. All digital manipulation in here is correct, not false.

Maybe I could use an appropriate template that says this image has a non-public domain OS depicted, but is otherwise public domain. I'm Aya Syameimaru! I 文々。新聞 11:02, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There's an article about AmigaOS. As evidenced in the article, the OS depicted in this image changed quite a bit over time, so its most recent version is different from the one seen here. I'm Aya Syameimaru! I 文々。新聞 11:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's an opinion. I believe they're exciting! I'm Aya Syameimaru! I 文々。新聞 21:07, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – User:I'm Aya, why not run this by a Commons admin to check the license. I support if the license is good. Bammesk (talk) 02:54, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm... I guess I could think about it. I'm Aya Syameimaru! I 文々。新聞 04:03, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
About CC BY-SA 2.5 Generic license. I'm Aya Syameimaru! I 文々。新聞 04:27, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The issue is that we need all applicable licenses to be compatible with Commons. That means the photo itself as well as any copyrighted work depicted. Screenshots of Windows, for example, are routinely deleted. What we'd need to see is either documentation that the operating system has a compatible license or an evaluation that the arrangement of graphics on the screen is insufficient for copyright. BTW food for thought: it's hard to focus on the image (or anyone else) with that big bright signature :/ — Rhododendrites talk \\ 04:49, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I would guess this is half-public domain, and half-copyrighted. Hyperion Entertainment is the current owner of the Amiga OS, but they don't own the Amiga 500 computer shown here, which is out of hands I believe. I'm Aya Syameimaru! I 文々。新聞 04:56, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
My signature is my personal taste, but I feel free to accept your opinions. I'm Aya Syameimaru! I 文々。新聞 04:58, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, now I modded my signature. I'm Aya Syameimaru! I 文々。新聞 I userbako 06:24, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. :) Any of these look good to me. If you want an opinion, this one ^^ is best to me. Having some kind of bold sets the sentence "I'm Aya Syameimaru!" apart from the sentences you're writing. I just have trouble focusing with certain highlighting/background/fill. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:03, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome. ;) I guess this signature is the way to go along with. I'm Aya Syameimaru!I文々。新聞Iuserbako 20:39, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Suggest this be withdrawn and brought back when licensing issues are cleared up. I don't think people are going to vote on it while we don't know if it should even be here. TSP (talk) 23:11, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Withdrawal from I'm Aya Syameimaru!: This is hardly ever a winner without the adforementioned clean up. «“I'm Aya Syameimaru!”I„文々。新聞“I„userbako”» 00:06, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
