Could this image be used? I do not see how it is any different from this. –thedemonhog talk • edits 19:45, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

The Simpsons are copyrighted characters, that's a photo of them. So no. Gran² 19:53, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, but isn't the Halo guy copyrighted too? –thedemonhog talk • edits 20:07, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, and it should probably be deleted. I mean it might just be my interpretation of this policy, but there we go. The Simpsons image would be, and in my view the Halo image is a derivative work, plus its a statuette, one of the things listed in the "Definitely not OK" section. But I don't know much about images, maybe the Halo image is some sort of exception, but I think the Simpsons one is unusable. Gran² 20:44, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
