  •  Oppose Ss181292 08:33, 3 June 2006 (UTC) very bad quality... I know that it impossible now to get better one, but this is blurry, has low resolution and I think it is coloured, not colour photo.[reply]

  • Comment, don't think you created the picture. Thats a bad scan or something. What is the source? What literature? Darkone 14:20, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment by Reptil I cannot understand your bad votes. The picture may be a bit blurry on the right end but in all it is NOT really bad quality and it is NOT colored. It is a real color picture – believe it or not. What do you expect regarding the time (early color photography so no resolution like today) and circumstances (it was taken in full action during a bombing mission over the Balkans) the photo was taken? I was glad to get one color photo of this CRDA plane at all! Of course I did not take it originally, I was not flying for Regia Aeronautica then in 1941. I took it from my own picture collection and scanned it into my PC. So at lest I created this scan. And right, it would be impossible to find a better color photo of this airplane. --Reptil (♣) 15:45, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose interesting but not a beautiful picture --Luc Viatour 18:38, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Maybe it's not bad photo, but it's not good also. I really don't believe it is colour picture. In those times it was common, that pictures was coloured after they were taken and developed, and it is strongly unlikely that crewman on the bomber was equipped with colour camera (it's 1941). Of course it is not a reason to vote against, and it is not a reason of my opposition. I don't like this photo because it lacks quality to be featured. Ss181292 19:38, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment by Reptil Again, it is a color photo, it was taken for propaganda purposes, but you are of course free to believe whatever you want. It is true that Italian color photos of this time are rare, there are much more German made ones, but you are completely wrong regarding history of color photography. The first color photos date from the 1930s and they are more than you may think. This photo is not colored, an expert can confirm this, but it is obvious if you look thoroughly at it. I have many in my collection and you can also find many on the net. --Reptil (♣) 20:39, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just scanning a photo doesnt allow you to put it into the public domain. are you the photograph of that picture? Did the phoograph put it into PD? I dont think so, and i believe that this picture has to deleted cause of the unsure license. If the photo itself is under PD, please mention that and correct the license tag. With that statements here that you only scanned it but didnt take it ist has to be deleted. --Huebi 05:45, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment by Reptil Nuts! If you were right, most pictures here woiuld havre to be deleted. Huebi, what' s all this? The image is public domain, because following Italian law (just read the template for italian pictures) all pictures except artistic photographs are PD after 20 years. It was made by an airman of Regia Aeronautica and later published for propaganda purposes. You have not understood copyright policy! Your deletion request is absurd. As scan it is a reproduction and therefore not even covered by copyright law. Almost every older picture here in Wikipedia is a scan or an other kind of mechanical and/or electronic reproduction - what are you thinking? But anyway, it is a picture made under Italian rule in 1941, it is obviously an Italian airplane (marking of Regia Aeronautica, the airforce of fascist Italy, is clearly visible under the wing as well as squadron number on the fuselage) and every copyright is expired according to Italian law. So please be so kind and withdraw your completely unnecessary and unjustified deletion request.

  • Comment by Reptil I noticed that I made a mistake writing created, uploaded and nominated by Reptil. Of course, as said, I did not take the picture in 1941, as surely not one of these or similar pictures have been uploaded here by the original photographers as many are dead and gone today. It was the first time I proposed a candidate for picture of the day and mistook the word "created" for having created this proposal for picture of the day and not the photo itself. In fact in the licensing for the picture itself I did NOT mention myself as author, but unnown, as is for this picture made by an unnown airman of Regia Aeronautica. I have to apologise for this mistake. The deletion request of user Huebi is unjustified in any way. First of all because in the picture license I never claimed to be the author of the photo and second because the picture is clearly PD after expiration of Italian copyright after 20 years. This is accepted worldwide.
