Gold Bullion edit

A small pile of Gold Bullion, something that I am sure we have all wished for at some point in our lives. Sadly, I do believe that this is as close to owning Bullion that I will ever come; however, that will not stop me from nominating it here in an effort to share it with other Wikipedians. This photo is from the commons, and is used on several pages here.

  • Strong oppose image is copyrighted!--Vircabutar 08:15, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Image is all rights released meaning that it can be used by anyone for any purpose, although it's not preferential it is in noways totally against the criteria. Thygard - Talk - Contribs - Email ---- 08:21, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • The key thing to remember here is that the commons accepts freely licensed material only. As a general rule of thumb images from the commons are acceptably liscenced for FPC purposes here. TomStar81 08:24, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • I've learned not to implicitly accept things from commons as acceptably licensed for anything since like the system here the system for filtering out copyvios on commons isn't perfect and never will be. Thygard - Talk - Contribs - Email ---- 08:25, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • Nothing is ever perfect, which is why I used the word "general" in my commons comment. Life is like the english language: there are rules, and then there are acceptions to those rules. TomStar81 08:29, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's freely licenced, the objection is invalid. Stevage 12:25, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
