Hey all, I uploaded and inserted the image on the right. I obtained it from the British Ministry of Defense web site, where I read their copyright notice, which seemed to make it fine to use, and I also tagged it under the {{CrownCopyright}} tag.

However, looking at the CrownCopyright template talk page, it seems that the Ministry of Defense is specifically mentioned as a web site that we can't use, and its copyright information can be found here. Is it because Wikipedia is sometimes used (by mirror sites) for commercial purposes? If so, maybe someone else can find a similar picture that is properly covered under Crown copyright that we can use instead. Thanks, Death phoenix 02:40, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC).

I added the {{fairuse}} tag and an additional statement. --Death phoenix 02:11, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I now removed it. The copyright statement now clearly shows its material as being covered under Crown copyright. --D e ath phoenix 20:03, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The result was to delete the image.

Closing administrator comment. As this image is being used to show a living person, it falls short of WP:NFCC#1. — ξ ^xplicit 00:55, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This image is a British Crown Copyright image. There is currently no free image that we can use to illustrate the subject - all other images I found were newspaper-produced private pictures. If the choice is between a British Crown Copyright image or no image, I'd say the British Crown Copyright image is preferable. --Deathphoenix ʕ 14:45, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
