Summary

[edit]
This media file has been nominated for deletion since 4 November 2024.
To discuss it, please visit the nomination page.

Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed.

Reason for the nomination:

These images were all sourced from a webpage of the US National Weather Service but are highly atypical of the kinds of images that NWS staff take in the course of their duties. NWS pages host a mixture of images created by the NWS (and therefore in the public domain) and the work of third-party organizations and individuals under a variety of licenses. We rely on image captions to help distinguish these, but these images are no longer published, and the NWS page that they were originally published on is now lost. We do know that at least two of the photos in this batch (one of which has already been redirected) definitely originated with third parties.

For many years, hosting such images on the Commons was done in good faith under the rationale that:

  • public submissions to the NWS all entered the public domain and/or
  • all files hosted on NWS websites were in the public domain unless they carried a formal copyright notice

An extensive review of this rationale in 2024 revealed that neither of these beliefs held up to scrutiny. These findings were confirmed in an RfC conducted from August to October 2024.

Per COM:ONUS it is the responsibility of the person uploading an image to the Commons or anyone arguing for its retention here to provide evidence of permission from the copyright holder. For anyone interested in seeking the permission of the creators to retain these files, I offer, as a head start, the following notes left over from when I investigated them:

all files
NWS Key West emailed September 24. No response. VRT ticket:2024110410004861
File:B-2-clouds.jpg (not part of this request)
was uploaded as part of this batch from the same NWS page. I previously identified this as a USAF photo and requested its redirection (log). This photo was not taken by an NWS staff member on duty.
File:Sabre-aero.jpg
these F-86 Sabres belong to the Japanese Self-Defense Air Force aerobatic team w:Blue Impulse and are in the livery the team carried from the early 1960s through to about 1981. The team did not perform outside Japan in this time. This photo was not taken by an NWS staff member on duty.
File:F-101.jpg
Canadian Air Force example, which retired the type in 1984; possibly a visitor to NAS Key West? But it is at least highly questionable that this photo was taken by an NWS staff member on duty.
File:Concorde (2007-09-10).jpg
Concorde did operate out of Miami 1984-1991, but it is at least highly questionable that this photo was taken by an NWS staff member on duty
File:Planes.jpg
A reverse-image search shows up multiple formats of this image on various desktop and phone-background type sites. The sunrise/sunset in the background also shows up in various stock image galleries with other objects in the foreground. It is at least highly questionable that any or all the elements of this image were made by an NWS staff member on duty.
File:Plane3.jpg
Apparent air-to-air image of a Cessna 182. It is at least highly questionable that this photo was taken by an NWS staff member on duty
File:C-17-1.jpg
Another air-to-air image, this time of a C-17. This looks like either a USAF or Boeing photo, but I haven't been able to find it elsewhere.

Many of the other images look like they might have been taken at airshows, and perhaps originate from the personal collection

Without more information about the origins of each of these files, we have no reason to think that they are in the public domain or available under free liceneses. Therefore, we must delete all the files listed in this request per COM:PRP because as far as we can tell, they all are protected by copyright. --Rlandmann (talk) 13:19, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Licensing

[edit]
Caution: License review in progress

As of November 2024, the copyright and licensing status of this file is under review.

A Commons contributor has asserted in good faith that this file is in the public domain either because:

  • it is a work of the National Weather Service, and as a work of the US Federal Government, ineligible for copyright or
  • a third party might have submitted it to a National Weather Service regional office under terms and conditions that placed it in the public domain. For example, the La Crosse, Louisville, Norman, Omaha, Peachtree City, and Sioux Falls offices are known to have had such terms and conditions for certain contests and other public outreach at various points in time (see here for a complete list) or
  • it is free of copyright for some other reason (for example, it contains no copyrightable elements, or its copyright has expired)

If, during review, this file is found to be in the public domain or available under a free license, a new rationale will be applied as part of the review process and this notice will no longer be displayed. Files that cannot be established with reasonable certainty to be in the public domain or available under a free license will be deleted.

To uploaders

Before re-using this file
You must verify that at least one of the above conditions is true.

In particular, if the file was created by a third party, verify that the specific terms and conditions under which its creator submitted it to the NWS included an explicit release of the file into the public domain. Read such terms and conditions carefully; at least one of these (Omaha) contains one option which would place the file into the public domain and another option which would not.

If you cannot verify the terms and conditions that applied to the submission, or these terms and conditions did not contain an explicit release into the public domain, contact the creator of the file and ask their permission to re-use it. If you are unable to verify that this file is in the public domain or available under a free license, please consider nominating this file for deletion.

See below for the original rationale for asserting that this file is in the Public Domain.

Original public domain rationale
Public domain
This image is in the public domain because it was stored on the web servers of the U.S. National Weather Service. NWS-created images are automatically public domain in the U.S. since the NWS is a part of the U.S. government. However, the NWS sites also host non-NWS images which have been submitted by individuals: these are generally shown as "Courtesy of ...". Such images have explicitly been released to the public domain by the copyright owner as part of the upload process.
  • As stated at https://www.weather.gov/disclaimer/: "The information on National Weather Service Web servers and Web sites is in the public domain, unless specifically annotated otherwise, and may be used freely by the public."
  • As stated at https://www.weather.gov/fsd/disclaimer: "By submitting images, you understand that your image is being released into the public domain. This means that your photo or video may be downloaded, copied, and used by others."
Thus, all images on NWS servers are public domain (including "Courtesy of ..." and “Photo by ...” images) unless specifically stated otherwise through a copyright (©) watermark.
