Files found with Special:Search/badgreeb

[edit]

These are clear professional photos from Flicker user badgreeb that I doubt they were taken by this user. The Flickr user uploaded several images with CC-BY license that are clear copyvios like A Hard Day's Night cover, With the Beatles cover, Yellow Submarine cover, etc. Other photos with CC-BY are well known like this one or this one. Other photos on his collection suggest he is a fan with a low spec camera [1] [2] [3] [4].

 Keep There seem to be reasons to be suspicious of some of the flickr uploads by this user, but the on-stage images listed above don't really strike me as "clear professional photos". They are blurry and not particularly well composed. In cases like this, where the evidence is circumstantial, I am content to assume good faith. -- WikiPedant (talk) 18:00, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I doubt they are amateur. For example, File:Ringo starr.jpg is by no means taken by an amateur nor by chance, File:TinaTurner&Clapton.jpg was given to VIP ticket during Turner's '96 wold tour, as indicated on this auction of signed photos [5], File:George-Harrison-playing.jpg according to [6] is credited to either Peter Stillor or Michael Putland, File:Harrison and Clapton.jpg is likely a screenshot from the documentary "The Second Annual Prince's Trust All-Star Rock Concert" by Keith McMillian [7], the other images from that event may also come from it. The full concert is available on Youtube, and there is an album. Günther Frager (talk) 16:28, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: per nomination, discussion, and further spot checking. The Flickr user clearly puts a combination of images from various sources on their stream, including DW, copyviols taken from websites, without bothering to use correct licensing. Looking at the rest of their photo stream, appears unlikely that they are old enough to have been taken high quality photos of rock musicians from the early 1960s on (other photos from such decades of more mundane subjects would be expected). Sample reverse image search shows some of the photos online before Flickr upload. Flickr user is unreliable, frequent copyright violator. Images on their Flickr stream should not be assumed to be own work, and claimed licenses should not be assumed to be accurate. --Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 21:07, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
