Possible copyright violation of File:Mcclean outside.jpg
[edit]Please see en:Template:Did you know nominations/Royal Observatory, Cape of Good Hope for a discussion of a possible copyright violation regarding File:Mcclean outside.jpg. It appears to be an exact binary copy of http://www2.astronomicalheritage.net/images/astronomicalheritage.net/phocagallery/ahp_entities/entity000035/mcclean-bldg.jpg . An 800x600 version of this image is listed at http://www2.astronomicalheritage.net/index.php/show-entity?identity=52&idsubentity=1 with a note saying "Fig. 3: Exterior of the McClean Building (dome and laboratory). Photograph © Ian Glass".
For this reason I am going to nominate the image for deletion from the Commons.
If there is no clarification, this and possibly other images found at http://www2.astronomicalheritage.net/index.php/show-entity?identity=52&idsubentity=1 will be deleted from the Wikimedia Commons over copyright issues. Davidwr (talk) 23:16, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
