File:MichiganHistoricalSign.jpg edit

Can you clarify the license for File:MichiganHistoricalSign.jpg? Photographs of signs inherit the copyright of the sign. Is the sign either in the public domain, released under CCA-S3, or released under a license that allows derivative works including photographs to be released under that license? If not, please re-tag it with the appropriate copyright tag. Thanks. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 04:09, 7 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

MichiganHistoricalSign.jpg reduced edit

I have replaced File:MichiganHistoricalSign.jpg, a file you uploaded, with a smaller version that is not covered by someone else's copyright. I have placed a {{Non-free reduced}} tag on the image requesting that the larger version be deleted as a copyright violation for which "fair use" does not apply, at least not for the the article Bath School disaster. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 22:00, 11 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

I have added information to the file that links to the text that is on the historical marker. I have added this same information to Bath School disaster. Thanks for taking the photo, without it, I would not have found the link. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 22:17, 11 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
