File:WTC Attack (9-11).jpeg

The source flickr account should be banned from Wikicommons for probable flickrwashing unfortunately. This image is from a Fuji camera and this is from an Olympus camera. This set has watermarks on the images. And all the flickr images are 'High Quality'? There are at least 2-3 other images from this flickr account on Wikicommons like this. How many authors copyright's is Commons potentially violating? Leoboudv (talk) 02:40, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

What kind of copyright violating do you mean? The license is the same as the one in Flickr. What's the matter? --CherryX (talk) 05:43, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

•  Comment: From the flickr account owner's profile, it appears that he collects 9/11 images. The question is not the flickr license. That's accceptable. The question is whether he is the author of all these images--did he really take all of these? Was he really in a helicopter over the WTC towers on September 11, 2001? Somehow I doubt it. This flickr account is just a random collection of 9/11 images...and nothing more. If he had taken many many personal images and then taken a few 9/11 images with 1 camera, then yes, it would likely be 'own work'. But in this case, it looks like flickrwashing where someone "borrows" several 9/11 images and then posts them on a flickr account that he recently created. In this case, he would not be the real copyright owner of these pictures, then unfortunately. --Leoboudv (talk) 05:58, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

 Delete. The same as with other image sources: one thing is a proper license, another thing is to think about whether claimed authorship by the alleged licensee is credible, which in this case is clearly not. --Túrelio (talk) 07:50, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

 Delete per nom and blacklist the flickr account. I've nominated the other two for deletion too: WTC attack and Liberty Island.jpeg, WTC Attack, aerial view.jpeg. --El Grafo (talk) 10:39, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

• I'm afraid the source flickr account has to be added to a blacklist since the author licenses the images freely. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 20:48, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
