This file was initially tagged by Kurzon as Copyvio (copyvio) and the most recent rationale was: Ron Blakey explicitly states on his website (http://cpgeosystems.com/globaltext2.html) that his maps of prehistoric Earth are NOT freely available for commercial use. He expressed his disapproval to me by email, but you can deduce as much by this quote from his page: "All maps are copyright to me, Ron Blakey, and may bu used, with citation to Ron Blakey, NAU Geology, for educational, non-profit, non-commercial purposes. For commercial uses, please contact me." The CCA license permits free commercial use provided the user credits the original author, which is NOT what Blakey says on his website. This image should instead by uploaded to Wikipedia, where his conditions are accepted.|source=http://cpgeosystems.com/globaltext2.html INeverCry 17:23, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What about the OTRS ticket? NNW (talk) 15:09, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete I think the OTRS e-mail is bogus -- probably written by the uploader (who has subsequently been blocked for abusing multiple accounts. Prof Blakely has an e-mail address at nau.edu, which is what you would expect for a university professor. The OTRS message came from a German ISP. .     Jim . . . .

Deleted: It appears that the identity of the OTRS client cannot be confirmed. King of 02:42, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
