Files of Flickrwashing account 11923090@N03

[edit]

All these files were retrieved from the Flickr account 11923090@N03. Recently, one of these images was taken down per DMCA notice, see wmf:DMCA Flaherty. It appears that the Flickr account owner is not the copyright holder of these images but a "collector" of interesting photographs found elsewhere. Note that the EXIF data (presence, style of filling it with a description, camera model) varies significantly over this range. Some cases could be PD-USGov but this should be checked individually (and then the CC-BY license should be substituted by the proper PD license template, fixing authorship etc).

Done, I've replaced this with a high-res original from USAF. So, keep. De728631 (talk) 22:44, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Some more stricken as they had valid exif data identifying them as USGov sourced. --Denniss (talk) 20:37, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely need more time to find the files. Btw, some can be found on bing.com where they are missing on google.com searches. --MarsRover (talk) 04:42, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Defenseimagery.mil is not in google. File:UH-60 Black Hawk (2203269778).jpg for example has EXIF, find it in defenseimagery.mil using unique parts of the description, i.e. zaghytun chay river, the location. Its in the midle of the 34 results for that words. However, the temporary category Category:Photos from Flickr account 11923090@N03 was created and contains 250 files, above list only has 164. Maybe also a rename would be good, the (number) in the filenames referes to this flickr fraud account, there is no need to keep that digits in the filename. --Martin H.

Not easy to find the sources. But if they have all been checked I suggest to check the to-be-deleted images for use first, if the are in use they should be replaced by an image with a good source. Once checked and verified as USGov content, the images should be removed from the Flickr account cat. --Denniss (talk) 17:34, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've discovered pictures that are obviously intellectual property such as Skunkworks for example. The captions for the F-117A for example do not match with the pictures displayed since the captions are actually from media pieces.
F-117 Nighthawk (2151270009).jpg - Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company F-117A "Nighthawk" Stealth Fighter At Tonopah Test Range in Nevada, weapons upload - 1990 Photo by Denny Lombard and Eric Schulzinger (Delete)
F-117 Nighthawk (2151272201).jpg - Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company F-117A "Nighthawk" Stealth Fighter Flying over White Sands, New Mexico November 1995 Lockheed Martin Photo by Tom Reynolds (Delete)
F-117 Nighthawk, KC-10 Extender (2159746296).jpg - Should rename to DF-ST-92-07120 (Do not delete)
F-117 Nighthawk (2158948811).jpg - Should rename to DF-ST-92-06976 (Do not delete)
The first two are offending images so they need to be deleted. ViriiK (talk) 08:09, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Some images deleted, still trying to find more sources. --Denniss (talk) 21:56, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm also going through them which is time consuming due to lack of EXIF or proper sources. So it's guesstimation at times. ViriiK (talk) 02:29, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There's an interesting description at File:Trench iraq-water.jpg: "(Released to public) US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) photograph by USACE photographer Jim Gordon", which is also the name of Flickr account. That would at least explain the many unofficial military images, and gives them a chance of being authentic shots by said Mr. Gordon. De728631 (talk) 19:31, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would not hold my breath here given the many copyvios or editing to remove/alter the original Exif infos to hide their original source. --Denniss (talk) 22:09, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that's true. I've also been wondering about the weird sizes and resolutions of some images, which made me suspect he cropped those from larger photos. De728631 (talk) 18:32, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: good ones kept, rest gone Denniss (talk) 01:35, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
