File:Antanas Smetona 2.jpg[edit]

Antanas Smetona the first President of Lithuania with inter-war decorations.

Reason: As far as I can see, there is no evidence that "usage granted by coffer curator from National Museum administration" is correct. Assuming good faith is nice, but if we're going to parade this as one of our finest pictures, it would be nice to have some proof that we're actually allowed to use it. We even have a deletion template for this- see Template:Di-no permission. Until we have proof of permission, this should be delisted, and perhaps even deleted.

So, tag the image and see what happens. MER-C 03:11, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The image is hosted on Commons. I don't know what the tag over there is. J Milburn (talk) 10:50, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There should be a no permission link in the sidebar which does it for you. MER-C 10:27, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have to look into my archives for original permission, hopefully I still have it somewhere. Please be patient, as I have limited time due to RL issues. M.K. (talk) 08:31, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delist. If/When M.K. manages to confirm the permission, it should be easy to fast-track it back in to FP. No point in keeping it in the meantime. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 20:46, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Requested update from M.K. here. Makeemlighter (talk) 08:22, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- And reply here. Makeemlighter (talk) 07:03, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Given the response, how about a delist until we get confirmation on licensing? --Dante Alighieri | Talk 21:25, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- See this. Makeemlighter (talk) 02:45, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's been more than two months. Let's go ahead with the delisting. Per policy Wikipedia:AGF#Good_faith_and_copyright: When dealing with possible copyright violations, good faith means assuming that editors intend to comply with site policy and the law. That is different from assuming they have actually complied with either. Editors have a proactive obligation to document image uploads, etc. and material may be deleted if the documentation is incorrect or inadequate. Good faith corrective action includes informing editors of problems and helping them improve their practices. Durova³³¹ 21:07, 19 October 2009 (UTC) Withdrawing per Jake Wartenberg.

The deletion discussion on Commons appears to indicate that this is not a copyvio. So we should probably just close this now as keep, right? — Jake Wartenberg 04:07, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep The deletion request resulted in Keep. Throwing in my support. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 04:15, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
