• Closeup photo of a tank watermarked "www.kodef.net". A number of the user's uploads are suspicious (smaller than digital camera resolution, no EXIF data, two of them like File:Inchon mh3.jpg with a photoshopped frame, one File:Seoul overview.jpg that was taken from a plane). If you look at his Commons uploads there is an obvious disparity in quality in this user's uploads, but since I can't find any of them on Tineye (other than ones that were obviously copied from Wikipedia), I'm willing to AGF on the other questionable ones.

• The uploader has uploaded many obvious copyvios, claiming each time that he made the image himself. I can't find sources for the above images, but I don't think we can believe that that the images were really created by the uploader as he claims. All the above images are orphans. See also the discussion at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions#Uploads_by_User:Kehz99. – Quadell ^{( talk)} 18:21, 12 July 2011 (UTC) reply
  • I've since found online sources for others. For instance, File:Ekolagosisland.JPG is found here, where it says "Image credit: Benji Robertson". For this reason, I'm also adding the uploader's non-orphans below. – Quadell ^{( talk)} 21:45, 12 July 2011 (UTC) reply

File:Abujapark.jpg, uploaded August 15 2009, a google similarity search tells me that it was published in http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=39750930&postcount=1 in June 2009. The source page on flickr is private now possibly because the pro-account of the user on flickr expired, http://www.flickr.com/photo.gne?id=3232471074, but the image is still visible on skyscrapercity and from previous searches I know that Skyscrapercityuser Matthias Offodile often posts self-created photos. This also applies to a de.wp copy of this file, de:Datei:Milleniumpark abuja.jpg.

File:Abuja suburbs.jpg is from http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=30981756&postcount=36

And so on. All files by this uploader are copyright violations. I will also remove all his uploads from Commons. And, thats why I found them so quickly, im absolutely shure that I deleted some of this files already on Commons in the past. -- Martin H. ( talk) 15:13, 15 July 2011 (UTC) reply

• While www.egyptarchive.co.uk may claim copyright free - the British Museum's photographic policy ( http://www.britishmuseum.org/the_museum/business_services/photography.aspx), does not support that.  Ronhjones   ^(Talk) 21:49, 12 July 2011 (UTC) reply
• The source listed seems to be a dead link at the moment. Am I correct in thinking that egyptarchive snapped the photos and licensed those photos under a cc license? Or were these photos created by the British Museum? – Quadell ^{( talk)} 22:25, 12 July 2011 (UTC) reply

You can find the link with web archive. It does not say a lot. Just says (IIRC - I'm at work and web archive is blocked) that they are his photos and anyone can use them. I'm assuming he just took the photos in the museum - maybe that's why the web site is no more...  Ronhjones   ^(Talk) 12:41, 13 July 2011 (UTC) reply

Perhaps. The reason I ask is this. If egyptarchive.co.uk photographed these items at the British Museum, they may have broken the British Museum's house rules by doing so... but that doesn't involve copyright (any more than if I took a photograph while jay-walking). Museums can disallow photography if they like, and can throw you out if you take pictures... but they can't claim copyright on your photos, and they can't legally restrict what you do with those photos. If the photos are freely licensed by the photographer, and aren't derivatives of copyrighted works, then I don't think we should delete them. – Quadell ^{( talk)} 12:46, 13 July 2011 (UTC) reply

I see from Internet Archive that the photos were indeed taken by an individual who wished to release them into the public domain. I don't see any problems then. – Quadell ^{( talk)} 12:50, 13 July 2011 (UTC) reply

Ah, I see. Good point. The originals must be PD because they are so old. Therefore they can't claim 3D art, and their only gripe is going to be with the photographer.  Ronhjones   ^(Talk) 19:14, 13 July 2011 (UTC) reply
