County Arms

I have undone the edit made by Durin as the initial change was made to remove a "fair use" image. As the arms of Wiltshire are also the official emblem of a governmental authority, and the statemtnt of such ownership is appropriate for the context, they must surely be public domain?

• In the United States, most works of the federal government are in the public domain by law. This does not apply to any other country. Simply because something is a government work does not mean it is in the public domain. Each country has their own laws in this respect. Most, including the UK government, do not automatically place their works into the public domain. I am reverting the re-insertion of the Image:Arms-wiltshire.jpg image. It is appropriately tagged and may not be used on userboxes. --Durin 20:22, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

In view of the above discussion that does not resolve whether the County Arms image is public domain or not, I propose a compromise of using one of the public domain flags images instead for the id box. I am sure if there is disagreement it will removed, but I would appreciate an explanation. Thanks.Rimmer1993 (talk) 14:07, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
