Kept It's been 4 months, everyone seems okay with it. Kwamikagami (talk) 00:32, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
This is a picture of a satirical poster I've taken on a street and uploaded. It was already discussed several years ago as part of Election posters deletion request and kept. However it turned out that the author of this satirical poster could made a copyright violation. The source is this work by Michael Dashow. It looks like it is indeed an almost direct copy. Even some minor details match. The poster author put the copied figure in another context. The satirical election page Większe Zło does not exist for years and I am unable to ask them if they had permission. Please consider if that picture can be kept (can we ask for permission Michael Dashow when it is such an indirect copy involving now three parties?) and remove it if not. -- Jakubhal 20:40, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- It's not "almost", it's directly lifted from Dashow's original. I wrote Dashow, and he says he gave permission for the election poster (he has a copy hanging on his wall), is cool with it being on WP and would prefer it not be deleted. He suggested maybe it could "credit me and note 'used with permission'?" I don't know what exactly he had in mind for shareability and how that would fit in with our CC licenses.
- I can forward his email to whoever needs to decide this. Kwamikagami (talk) 21:47, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you very much Kwamikagami for taking care of this. I think the credit part is already fulfilled after your edit in the file description. Perhaps it is enough to send the consent as it to OTRS? -- Jakubhal 16:59, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
Should be. However they need to verify. Kwamikagami (talk) 18:46, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
