![]() This media file has been nominated for deletion since 16 August 2024. To discuss it, please visit the nomination page.
Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed. Reason for the nomination: This file originates on this page of the US National Weather Service. However, the creator of the image is unknown and the photo is simply credited to the collection of w:The Journey Museum and Learning Center. The photo was taken at Rapid Creek, South Dakota in June 1972.
Without knowing who took this photo, we cannot know its copyright status. And if it were ever under copyright, we have no evidence of permission that this copyright was ever transferred away to put the image in the public domain. At different times, various regional offices of the National Weather Service have held contests or other public outreach exercises that have made release into the public domain a condition of participation. However, there is no evidence that connects this image with any one of those initiatives. According to the National Weather Service disclaimer linked at the bottom of the webpage, "The information on National Weather Service (NWS) Web pages are in the public domain, unless specifically noted otherwise." No particular form for such a notation is specified or required in the disclaimer, and a wide range of attribution styles is observed on past and present weather.gov pages. These range from very explicit, formal notices with the copyright (©) symbol, through to "Courtesy of ..." and "Photo by ..." notations. Given that weather.gov pages have hosted thousands of third-party images over a period of more than 20 years and across over 100 regional offices, no special significance can be attached to the fact that not all of these notations share the same wording or format. Indeed, it would be extraordinary if they did. Taken together, all of the above creates significant doubt under the precautionary principle as to whether this image is in the public domain. I am not suggesting that it is necessarily protected by copyright; I'm saying that considering all the evidence together, we simply do not know whether it is or isn't, which means we must delete it. | ||
