[WikiEN-l] Image reuse
A previous post inspired me to use tineye.com to see if any of my photos uploaded to Wikipedia have been reused anywhere. It's interesting to see that some have! http://blogs.wsj.com/deals/2007/09/25/rbs-group-bulks-up-abn-amro-shareholding/ Yes, a Wall Street Journal blog used my (featured) image of Luna Park in Melbourne. Metaphorically... http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/multimedia/2008/06/gallery_roller_coasters?slide=2&slideView=10 Wired carefully credits 7 out of the 8 photos in its half-arsed "Collest roller coasters" collection. Guess which one misses out? http://www.spoki.lv/foto-izlases/Pasi-briesmigakie-kalnini-pasaule/8989 Some latvian linkspam site probably earned a couple of cents from it... http://peccataminuta.wordpress.com/2008/03/18/mont-saint-michele/ The second image from the top (yes, the terrible one with the white sky) is surprisingly popular...god knows why. http://celticfestival.ie/programme_welsh.php The church illustrating "Dydd Iau Hydref 4" is from [[Image:Church_in_Kilkenny.jpg]] - I didn't even know which church it was when I uploaded it :) And now the locals are using the image for their own tourism site...cool! http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=en&js=n&u=http://www.tuning.sk/dokument-Uplynuly-tyzden-az-1-323-sita-93176&sl=sk&tl=en&history_state0= Heh, they're using my photo of a truck crash near Melbourne University to illustrate a story about car accidents in Bratislava... http://www.vidilife.com/video_play_995337_Real_Crashes_7.htm Oh and look, someone's made it the first image in a really crappy slideshow of vehicle accidents. How lovely. But the most popular image of all? http://tineye.com/search/7b34c1bae7eba7ca3d2cf92816047c937add7399 I'm not quite sure what to make of all this. I do wish we were using a much better image repository than Commons.

Re: [WikiEN-l] Image reuse
Interesting. For the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake *Wired* credits the original photographer but not the restoration. http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2008/04/dayintech_0418 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sfearthquake3b.jpg A law firm's website doesn't credit the restoration on Louis Brandeis's portrait when they run it alongside a listing for one of their partner's "Champions of Justice" radio show. http://www.jjllplaw.com/newsupdate.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Brandeisl.jpg *Time* uses the same restoration, also without credit. http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1895379_1895421_1895405,00.html And the government of Australia appears to be using the restoration of Douglas MacArthur uncredited. http://www.ww2australia.gov.au/waratsea/kamikaze.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Douglas_MacArthur_lands_Leyte1.jpg Thoughts?

Crediting a restoration is a less obvious thing to do, and probably less serious if they don't. Speaking for myself, I often disregard copyright notices when the source material is clearly very old - I assume the copyright notices have been plastered all over without thought. But maybe I'm missing transformation processes... Btw, found an even better reuse of one of my images: http://article.wn.com/view/2007/11/30/A_man_says_he_was_robbed_of_700_during_a_cocaine_deal_before/ Kind of amusing. The text even refers to a "pickup" truck, not a cement mixer...

Re: [WikiEN-l] Image reuse
Well, I don't mind that these things run without financial compensation. But it would be nice to receive credit. The Brandeis restoration especially was a difficult job that took about three days.

Here's another one of my images I just found: http://www.french-riviera-mag.com/tourism/nice-information-13303.htm Incredibly, I think they're actually complying with the GFDL. Link to GFDL licence, *and* link to Wikipedia authors list. I think I'm starting to think that if Wikipedia credited photographers, then people who reuse Wikipedia material would be more likely to do so too.

Wikinews interestingly does for images. I never quite understood why they do and we don't - maybe it'll catch on!
