All uploads by User:HeatherRoseF

[edit]

HeatherRoseF (talk · contribs) has uploaded a number of very nice shots of NYC and the Phillippines which she claims are her own, but as it turns out are copyright violations. One of them Image:NYC panorama 2005.jpg was reported via OTRS ticket 2008050810006045 to be identical to [1]. As such, I don't think we can trust that any of her uploads are legitimate.

Comment. I'm not sure but I think HeatherRoseF is a sockpuppet or at least a meatpuppet of Ian Fortuno (talk · contribs). They both edit the same types of articles (New York City, Cebu City, and towns in Cavite), mostly mess around with the images (without contributing much text), edit at around the same dates, and upload a bunch of photos and say that they're in the public domain. I have tagged a bunch of images by Ian Fortuno before as copyright violations and did the painstaking research of finding all the webpages the uploaded images were taken from. I agree that these images uploaded by HeatherRoseF are suspect but in the absence of any clear evidence, I suggest holding off for a bit. --seav (talk) 15:52, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In my experience, someone who falsely passes off one piece of work as their own is highly likely to do it again. Call it "guilt by association" but I see a pattern of abuse that cannot be tolerated. howcheng {chat} 16:20, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Image:Midtown Manhattan Oct 2007.jpg is apparently taken from [2]. The Wikipedia version was uploaded later, and the source site seems to be legitimately uploaded by the photographer. Dang, I hate deleting good images... but I agree with howcheng. 1 fraudulent upload, 2 now... that's enough to conlude that the rest are invalid licenses too, unless proven otherwise. --Rividian (talk) 03:00, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Another data point: Image:Upper East Side and Central Park.jpg is bit-for-bit identical to http://www.andersonterry.com/skin/uppereast.jpg. The latter was last modified on 2008-02-08, which predates the WP upload from 2008-03-22. This does not prove anything, of course, but it's another reason to be extra cautious around these images.
