Recognizable people[edit]

Isn't it a problem for there to be recognizable people in this photo, unless they signed model release forms? Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:20, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Check Commons:Photographs of identifiable people. --Globe-trotter (talk) 16:27, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Globe-trotter. I thought it was a problem, but this is the salient passage at the policy page you linked:
"The consensus on Commons (subject to any local law to the contrary) is that the subject's consent is not usually needed for a straightforward photograph of an identifiable individual taken in a public place, but is usually needed for such a photograph taken in a private place."
