Staging ? Propaganda ? edit

Problème de neutralité ! Mise en scène de l'armée US. Le garçon est manifestement déguisé. Quelle est la valeur historique de cette image ? Quel est son intérêt ? Image de propagande dont WP devient le relais ? Deleterious ? Avertissement nécessaire ? PRA 08:05, 4 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • Peut-on dire que la photo a été truquée? Non, car on ne sait pas les circonstances dans laquelle elle a été prise Booksworm Sprechen-sie Koala? 15:34, 4 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Attempt at translation: Neutrality problem! This is a staged scene by the US Army. The boy has clearly been dressed up. What is the historical significance of this image? Why is this boy interesting? Are propaganda images becoming the norm on Wikipedia? Should we delete it? Post some sort of notice? JHMM13(Disc) 16:31, 4 December 2007 (UTC) p.s. In the future please write in English on the English Wikipedia.Reply

  • Translation of my message: Can you really say that the photo is staged? No, we cannot, because we do not know truly under which circumstances it was taken Booksworm Sprechen-sie Koala? 20:02, 4 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Lolwut? Say we ban all WWII propaganda posters also? Sneakernets (talk) 21:57, 4 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
  • Of course no, but we have to mention the propaganda intention like in "Image:Azertis.jpg" with clear notice « A World War II propaganda poster for the Arrow Cross Party » or with clear title like "Image:AntiJapanesePropagandaTakeDayOff.gif".

At least we should add something like : « Suspicion : American propaganda picture during Vietnam War. »PRA (talk) 08:58, 5 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
