In 2008 and 2009, I have been most active at English Wikinews.

Spider-Man images discussed

Some of these may be legitimate parody (fair use) that puts them out of scope for Wikimedia Commons, but in scope for many other educational projects.

• File:Spiderman and child.jpg - person in costume - I nominated it at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Spiderman and child.jpg. Closed Keep - I am delighted that Mike Godwin got involved in this! I tagged it {{Costume}}.

• File:Spider-Man Grévin.JPG, mannequin in costume - see Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Spider-Man Grévin.JPG, I not-voted delete. Closed Delete

• Group nomination Commons:Deletion requests/Images of Spider-Man sculpture closed and deleted:
• File:Spidey Reichstag 2.jpg - sculpture
• File:Spiderman Reichstag.png - sculpture
• File:Spiderman in San Francisco.jpg - sculpture

I won't nominate these. They are now tagged {{Costume}}:

• File:Spiderman_dod.jpg - person in costume (Keep - see Commons:Deletion requests/Images of costumes tagged as copyvios by AnimeFan/Mike Godwin mail.)
• File:CapAmerica spiderman dod.jpg - ditto

See Category:Cosplay and Category:Spiderman

Important: many costumes were undeleted in March 2009: Commons:Deletion requests/Images of costumes tagged as copyvios by AnimeFan.

Finally, see Commons:Image_casebook#Costumes_and_cosplay "There is not yet consensus on whether we want our policies to be this permissive." (as of July 2009)

Other images of concern

• Special:Contributions/Bpselvam, 3 good faith uploads of scans of old pictures from books, incorrectly tagged as own work by uploader, without source information. I notified user at talk page, and explained in detail at the Help Desk. Unfortunately I know no Tamil and the user's English is not very good.
