Can someone take a look at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bulldog%2734.jpg this image] that has been uploaded to Wikipedia? It was labeled as Fair Use, but [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3ABulldog%2734.jpg&diff=548241361&oldid=547748441 someone recently added] the note to its page that it is in the public domain. Can someone clarify this? Thanks. [[User:Nightscream|Nightscream]] ([[User talk:Nightscream|talk]]) 01:17, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

:Basically, there are two requirements in order to be [[:Template:PD-US-no notice|PD-US-no notice]]. 1) published between 1923 & 1977, and 2) No copyright notice on the document. This image may have been published, but there is no proof. If we're being sticklers about it, unless it can be shown to actually have been published rather than sitting in a drawer since 1929, we can' really say it was published. While a copyright notice doesn't appear on the image as we have it, it's quite possible that a copyright notice appeared on a border that was cropped, or on the reverse. We can't be sure. Again, if we're being sticklers about it, no notice is at best a definite maybe. It all boils down to how strict we want to get. – [[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta#top|talk]]) 01:47, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
