[edit]

Numerous uploads from this user triggered red flags with me.

Screengrabs from Internet Archive of pro wrestling magazines. All of these were uploaded under claim of {{PD-US-1978-89}}, which hinges on the lack of a copyright notice. As the entire publication can be found at the given source, it was easy to determine that all bear proper copyright notices.

Also screengrabs from Internet Archive of pro wrestling magazines with a claim of {{PD-US-1978-89}}. None of the source publications bear proper copyright notices. Given that the uploader has demonstrated from the previous list that they lack understanding of what {{PD-US-1978-89}} entails, and given that these images are sourced from multiple different publications by multiple different publishers, I believe that these were uploaded with a blanket PD claim without forethought and that we need verification of whether or not the copyrights in question were registered.

Cross-wiki upload of a low-res image with no EXIF. The rationale explaining its PD status is questionable even as presented. However, the claimed date of circa 1920 makes it even more dubious. Lutteroth was born in 1897 and this photo clearly does not depict someone in their early 20s.

I'm not as sure about this one, but am listing it as "better safe than sorry". Author Mark Foley has 2,000+ photos on the Florida Memory website. However, this one contains mention of the Associated Press in the file description, leading me to believe that it was previously published and therefore its copyright status is not as clear as his other photos contained on the site.RadioKAOS (talk) 01:52, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
