Incorrect tag
I just replaced the cy tag for screenshot of webpage to the more general tag. I realize that this does not change the need for justification as noted by reviewer Eeekster. Workin' on that. – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 19:46, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
Non-deletion rationale
There is no free-use image that turns up with a search. As this file is a personal photograph taken by an unknown person, possibly N. Mohanadas (who may also own the copyright), copyrighted probably by the subject in the photo, M. Magendran, who uploaded this photo to Facebook and who lives in Malaysia, a freely-licensed alternative could not reasonably be obtained. It appears that the Facebook page is not monitored, because it has been about eight months since the subject's most recent upload. It is also my understanding that for all images uploaded to Facebook, while the uploader retains copyright, Facebook automatically retains IP (intellectual property) rights to the images. Since I read that on a non-Facebook website, and I have been unable to confirm it on Facebook, this should not yet be added to the fair-use rationale. – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 20:55, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
I just tagged this image with {{Non-free with permission}}, because of item 4 in section 2 of the following Facebook page:
Item 4 states:
When you publish content or information using the Public setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Facebook, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture).
This should enable Wikipedia to use this image, if not freely, then at the very least under a FUR. – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 21:10, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
- The Statement of Rights and Responsibilities gives permission to Facebook. It is not a general release. Eeekster (talk) 23:21, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
- So you feel that I am reading the above incorrectly? How do you interpret ". . . it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Facebook, to [...] use that information, . . ."? I interpret that to mean that anyone, on or off Facebook, has free rein to use any and all "content or information" that is published publicly (openly) on Facebook. So even one who does not have a Facebook account and yet who can see the content on a Facebook user's public page is allowed to use that content any way they like. I do not interpret that to mean that anyone who uses the content thereby holds copyright to the content, nor does it mean that the Facebook user relinquishes their copyrights. To me it does mean, though, that the Facebook user gives permission to "everyone" who wants to use that public content to use it. Do you interpret the above differently? – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 00:22, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
