[edit]Any editors out there capable of adding the Tasmania Police, the Northern Territory Police and perhaps ACT Police division of the AFP? DirectEdge (talk) 21:58, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hello, I can help with Tasmania Police, just need to get my hands on the electronic copy - next week maybe? --KatBen (talk) 10:03, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- Any help would be greatly appreciated. DirectEdge (talk) 04:26, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- I lack the ability to use the Wiki framework to do so, but here are the examples required for anyone with the time and ability to set them up properly.
- Tasmania Police rank electronic copy can be located here: http://www.police.tas.gov.au/uploads/file/Corporate%20Documents/Brochures%20&%20Publications/Rank_Insignia_of_the_Tasmania_Police_Service.pdf
- The only NT Police insignia image I found is this slightly larger image mentioned earlier. I'd add them to the article if someone confirms they are acceptable, but quality seems very unsuitable. Are poor images better than none at all? -- Gth-au (talk) 17:54, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Queensland epaulettes 2020
[edit]A few years ago, epaulettes had 'QUEENSLAND POLICE' added to the other ranks, and then made 'ink blue'. They are displayed in their Management Support Manual.
If someone has the time, you may wish to put up the new epaulettes (standard ones, not the ones with the bar -- the purpose of those ones are indicated on the Queensland Police Service page.
As said by a friend:
- That PDF file is from their website and hence is CC-BY. You can upload any photos you like from it so long as you say they are CC-BY and from “State of Queensland (Queensland Police Service)” which appears to be their preferred attribution at the moment.
- From a copyright perspective, if you are going to clean up the photo, I think the simplest way to go about it is to first upload the unaltered image from the Police web site under the CC-BY licence. Then modify the image and upload it as a newer version of the same image with a note about what you did (e.g. cropped, made the background transparent) as those modifications are your own work. I find it keeps the copyright story clearer than if you uploaded the modified version as the first upload, as then that modified image does not appear on the police site and then begs the question if the police’s CC-BY licence applies, whereas if the first upload is identical to the image on the police website, then it’s more obvious that this is a legit CC-BY upload.
