Names

Can we please remove the names of those involved? None of them is notable enough to sustain an article on Wikipedia. Mjroots (talk) 15:13, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That is not at all how notability works. The accident is the notable thing, the names are particulars pertaining to that notable thing. 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:2444:FE83:5765:3901 (talk) 17:47, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Photo of the actual F-16?

Forgive me if I'm doing this wrong, this is the first time I've ever edited or contributed to Wikipedia. I just wanted to mention that photos and other info on the F-16 involved in this incident are available here:

http://www.f-16.net/aircraft-database/F-16/airframe-profile/4409/

If those are useful to anyone. - MV — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.12.223.57 (talk) 22:04, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure? This photo specifically states it was taken by an armed forces member, and as such, it should be free to use:

http://www.f-16.net/g3/f-16-photos/album38/album64/96-0085

Though I see that the first photo on that page is not so labelled.

It is a bit confusing, isn't it? The photo on that page does say it was taken by a US military member, so should be "public domain", but the page itself (bottom) says "Copyright © 2014. All rights reserved." which doesn't seem to be the case. - Ahunt (talk) 23:17, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It really isn't all that confusing, the way I see it. "Copyright © 2014. All rights reserved" at the bottom of each page refers to the contents of the Web site overall (what is written there, its format, etc.) The Web site uses public domain photos taken by military members which cannot be copyrighted by the Web ste and therefore are free to anyone to use. So the Web site is copyrighted, but the public domain photos it uses do not become copyrighted in any way just because they appear on the site; they are free for us to use, just like they are free for the Web site to use. (Note that an analogy can exist in hard copy: A book probably will be copyrighted, but any public domain photos published in t can be scanned and uploaded freely; they are free for us to use just like they were free for the book's author and publisher to use.)

Sounds like Mdnavman nailed it. Ironically, the photo currently showing in the article (right)

has been taken from the same website that we are discussing (see the photo description page), so I can't see the problem in uploading to here a similar but more relevant picture. --Deeday-UK (talk) 23:36, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There you go. It's done. --Deeday-UK (talk) 21:11, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
