Comment. If it's part of the media kit from the Canadian Olympic team or, more specifically, from the skeleton team, the image should come from there not from TSN.ca (a sports news site). Sue Anne 06:09, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Hi, I'm a long time lurker, and I think images like this should be kept. Here's my rational as copied from my user page. I am not a big fan of copyright at all, and believe that fair use of biographical pictures on a FREE encyclopedia should include all images publicly released for non sales purposes. Even if an image is copyrighted and appears on a news site, the fact that some organization releases it, therefor makes the showcasing of the image on Wikipedia De Facto fair use. Unless the documented rightsholder demands that it be taken down, the image deserves to stay on site.--Semenko 21:16, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as copyvio. All the philosophy and wishful thinking in the world won't help when the copyright lawyers come around. --Carnildo 22:37, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Sue Ann, Carnildo. Semenko, that's your personal philosophy but in direct opposition to Wikipedia policy. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 22:41, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Uploaded by Kkrulo (notify). No source information, maybe a copyright violation- Esprit15d 20:02, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Uploaded by Rapomon (notify). The image was originally mistagged, so I'm listing it correctly. The original person who tagged it says that it is obsolete, and has been replaced by Image:Flag,_Burgos.gif- Esprit15d 20:23, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Uploaded by Digg (notify). UE, original research. This image was created by a Wikipedia user in order to support his personal complaint about the website Digg.- Rhobite 23:38, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep - There previously was a whole section about the fact that firefoxmyths.com was blocked on digg, rhob removed that section and I did not contest. Rhob went on to add a "cite needed" to the one sentence left. The sentence claimed that digg blocks certain sites. Duh, anyone can log in and verify that certain sites are blocked, tinyurl, firefoxmyths etc. Since he asked for a "citation", I provided one, and *he removed it as original research*. When confronted on IRC he agreed no let the image stay(1). I say this is wikilawyering at it's worst.
(1) - Source: [2] : <rhobite> Minerale: as I said, I think on wiki is best. I won't revert if the image gets added back to digg. but I do have a problem with the firefoxmyths story. sound fair? User:Digg 02:52, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Unencyclopedic, not useful to illustrate the article digg. Delete. - Mike Rosoft 13:21, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I agree with you, mike, however rhob (who, buy the way, blocked me) does not allow the comment about the blocked stories to stand unless there's a citation. Digg 22:12, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
