Image:Example.jpg

Uploader says the image is available under CC-by-SA 1.0, but I suspect that it's not and request for clarification have gone unanswered. -- (WT-en) Andrew H. (Sapphire) 18:05, 12 January 2007 (EST)

• Why do you doubt the copyleft? I see nothing about the photo to suggest it's anything other than a personal image uploaded by the owner. There are some compositional aspects to it that say "amateur" rather than "professional" to me, and I can't find it on any other websites. I haven't made up my mind about a vote yet, but I'd like to know what's bugging you about the thing. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 00:03, 13 January 2007 (EST)
• The toolbar buttons for inserting an image add example.jpg as the image. (You can test this by enabling the "Show edit toolbar" toggle on the "Editing" tab of your user preferences, then editing a page and clicking on the button that looks like a little landscape. We should probably swap it out for something useful, like a gray square that says "EXAMPLE IMAGE". --(WT-en) evanp 01:51, 14 January 2007 (EST)
  • OK, I follow that. If the image is not a copyvio, another path forward would be to rename it to something more descriptive and delete the redirect page. And yes, replacing the example.jpg reference with (foo) seems like a good idea, independent of the outcome of this particular VFD. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 10:07, 14 January 2007 (EST)

So any objections to moving it to Image:BophutBeach.jpg? --(WT-en) Jonboy 18:52, 28 January 2007 (EST)

No, let's do it. -- (WT-en) Andrew (Sapphire) 19:11, 28 January 2007 (EST)

Unfortunately, the move turns out not to be possible owing to a quirk of the software; apparently you can't do moves/redirects in the Image namespace. What now? Let's get this resolved. (I reluctantly vote delete under the circumstances.) -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 10:03, 2 February 2007 (EST)

It's possible to download the image, then re-upload it, provided Philweaver is attributed. I'll do it, but I'm busy today so it'll be a while before I get around to it. -- (WT-en) Andrew H. (Sapphire) 13:13, 3 February 2007 (EST)

• Evan fixed this by uploading a real example.jpg. — (WT-en) Ravikiran 09:01, 13 February 2007 (EST)
