Mannerheim signature

I would believe that your uploading of CGE Mannerheim autograph.png is a copyvio. You do not even possess the copyright for that image, for your work of scanning and modifying the file is not enough to establish copyright in most cases. On the contrary, Mannerheim's signature is original enough that it probably qualifies for copyright. I strongly suggest that you ponder the question and take the necessary steps. --MPorciusCato 21:23, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Your response at my talk page is very good. Mannerheim's signature absolutely enhances the articles about him, and might indeed qualify as fair use. However, if you scanned it from the 1942 Mother's day order, it actually qualifies for the Finnish government template. That statement is indeed a military order and is about as clearly a decision by an authority as any can be. I'll put the template there. --MPorciusCato 20:46, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

(all of which are scanned from a book printed in 1915, gallery) Condensed the talk page entry by Scoo 09:38, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

re: WW1 images

Ah, I didn't realise those images were listed on COM:DEL as well (because of the reform there and the basic {{Delete}}), it was impossible to find the further discussion. Actually with these images I was mistaken: they clearly have their source info, its the validity of the source that is questioned - so not a nsd case. When they were listed on COM:DEL you should have removed the {{Nsd}} and added the info to the delete {{Delete}}. Do you want them restored?--Nilfanion 08:34, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

I've restored those 3 images. I'll probably review a lot of COM:DEL cases later (including yours), I know just how hyperactive it is there ;)--Nilfanion 16:04, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Most refreshing
