[edit]

Image taken from an anonymous, private (non official) Flickr account and is marked as (C)ARR. However, the caption says "UNRELEASED-NOT YET REVIEWED)(U.S. Army photo by SGT Igor Paustovski)". Túrelio (talk) 06:59, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • The EXIF data says to credit the Third Infantry Division and the photographer is with the Combat Camera group. All the proof we need. unreviewed probably refers to its clearance level that wasn't removed when it was published. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 07:59, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
What EXIF data? I don't see any. --Túrelio (talk) 08:00, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

O.k., thanks. Why are they missing from our image? Could you please re-upload. --Túrelio (talk) 08:09, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I re-uploaded using the old upload form but that didn't work. Delete this for me: File:A Bradley Fighting Vehicle provides security for airport stronghold.jpg. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 08:21, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've downloaded the highest resolution by myself and found that it has no EXIF data, but has all the information in the IPTC data set: 030410-A-7317P-011 / SGT Igor Paustovski / 55th Signal Co. (Combat Camera) / 3-7 Infantry Regiment Bradley Fighting Vehicle is guarding the Highway to the Airport in Western Baghdad on 10 April 2003. The Regiment is deployed in support of OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM. OIF is the multinational coalition effort to liberate the Iraqi people, eliminate Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and end the regime of Saddam Hussein. (UNRELEASED-NOT YET REVIEWED)(U.S. Army photo by SGT Igor Paustovski) / OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM / Third Infantry Division (M). With this the PD-USGov tag seems to be justified:  Keep. --Túrelio (talk) 08:27, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The uploader should be a little more careful on uploading these image. Most of them only state the creator but please add the complete author creditline as it also includes the US military branch and the author's rank. Please also make sure you dont use multiple Flickrreview tags on these uploads. If the images originates from the US Air Force, why is the vanilla PD-USGov tag used and not the USAF tag ? This all would avoid misunderstandings or even deletions of those images (as happened in the past, some US military channels on Flickr have noncommercial or even all rights reserved tags.) --Denniss (talk) 10:41, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
IMO the main fault in this case was not the uploader, but the Flickr user, who removed the EXIF data set from the image (at least from the high-res version) and only left the IPTC set intact, which is not read by mediawiki. Besides, it is a "U.S. Army photo", I doubt that vehicle would be of use for the Air Force ;-). --Túrelio (talk) 10:44, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: @Turelio -- it's at an airport, so was protecting USAF assets and might have been photographed by a USAF photog.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 12:43, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
