File:Richard Carnac Temple 1850-1931.jpg

This file was initially tagged by Sitush as Copyvio (copyvio) and the most recent rationale was: absolutely no indication that this is ca. 1900, the subject lived until 1931 and the source is copyrighted Yann (talk) 18:02, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

It is self evident that this is a 40 or 50 year old man, placing it c. 1890 or 1900. Even if taken when he was 60 (1910) that is still 104 years old. The fact the source claims it is copyright is irrelevant. Institutions typically claim every image they own is copyright, however old it is. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:10, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

No, it isn't self-evident. My 76 year old mother looks no older than the guy in this photo. Who took the photo? When? Where? 1923 is a significant date in US copyright law, and UK copyright law is tougher. - Sitush (talk) 22:29, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

He would have been 73 in 1923. Do you really think this a picture of a 73 year old man? I hope I look that good at 73. Philafrenzy (talk) 23:11, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

@Sitush: Obviously the man here is not 73 years old. Regards, Yann (talk) 07:18, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

I disagree and the uploader has not proven otherwise. In fact, the uploader has misrepresented what the source said. That alone is poor practice. - Sitush (talk) 13:58, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

I've now found this from 1925, which makes it more evident that our image is pre-1923. I still think that the information needs to be changed because there is no support for it but I'm happy for the image itself to be retained. - Sitush (talk) 16:55, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
