Copyright of restorations discussion |
---|
The restoration is no longer available for download. I'm sorry it's come to this, but I have zero tolerance for bullying and active breaking of the law, particularly when the alternative is that you follow basic human decency, and give people the requested credit for their work. 86.139.213.143 (talk) 14:48, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
Restoration is not a mechanical process. It requires a great deal of judgement and artistry. This judgement and artistry is used to try and repair things in a way that fits in with what existed. This is why restoration is generally *not* done on one-off, deliberative works like paintings for commons; however, as lithographs are a semi-randomly created process, where etching by acid creates random pits, and the amount of these pits determines the darkness of that part of the image, and there will be some variation between copies due to amount of inking and paper variations. In this variation, you have enough freedom to exercise artistic judgement and do a restoration, but, outside of the basic stuff like "remove ink blotches from the white space", there's a necessary level of creative decision making to decide how to repair. To give obvious, easy-to-understand examples:in my restoration of Left Hand Bear, where the corners had been irregularly cut off to round them, in a very uneven, untidy way. I had to reconstruct those areas, including fixing some damaged text (Luckily, the LoC notes told me what it should say), and, on one corner, I actually had to fake some water damage to avoid misleading the reader by providing fine details about the sleeve that didn't exist. Another good one was my Women's Suffrage restoration, where a big chunk was simply missing, and I had to recreate the shoulder of a dress and other incidental details, without which the eye would be immediately drawn to the damage, and away from the actual image.
I'll freely admit this one was not the most difficult of restoration, and didn't have large missing areas. Work I did on this one including repairing a damaged eye, reconstructing some fabric wrinkles where damage near the middle of the image had created a long, jagged vertical line, fixing scratches and stains that damaged facial features, like a fairly wide vertical stain on one man's face, and other such work, covering most of the image. That requires creative input. Yes, the goal is to make the work blend in, but, allow me to remind you the PD-scan policy explicitly points out the bar of creativity is very low in the UK, and I'm pretty sure I've passed it. Commons can deal with ambiguity. For instance, very simple logos can't gain copyright? How simple? We don't know, so the bar of how simple is simply set at a point sufficiently low (text, geometric shapes) that it's clear cut, which lets Commons benefit from the policy, while still staying well away from anything that can get us in trouble. 17:47, 8 July 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.213.143 (talk)

based on this thing being incredibly difficult and important and there really is quite a lot of thought in the composition of all the different elements. That said, I have some technical comments:
1. Add a compass arrow.
1.5 Consider rotating 90 degrees (wide aspect displays better on typical monitors).
2. Consider the scale and the usage in article also the text). This sort of thing would work much better centered and large in article and then support the article discussion of the geography of the attack.
3. My father was in the attack, commanding a small amphib. And also later transhipped the atom bomb.TCO (talk) 00:37, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

*Support original someone could easily add a few hundred pixels of background image to this photo and leave the bird the same size to make the image qualify for the possible 1500 pixel on a side minimum. In this photo's current state, it's a good illustration of the subject. We can do a D&R later if someone gets a better photo. Pine✉ 08:05, 19 July 2012 (UTC) Change to Reluctant oppose after looking at the strength of support for the 1500 minimum. I will respect that consensus, and I think that there isn't a strong reason to make an exception to the 1500 minimum here. Pine✉ 07:48, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
