Backgrounds of Flickr images

Hey FunkMonk. I have been going through Allosaurus skeletons, and have come across a few from Flickr. These might pose copyright problems, not because of the skeleton but because of where the image was taken and what is in the background. The main image with these problems is File:Allosaurus atrox.jpg. The image was taken in Australia, but as is stated in Freedom of Panorama, 2D artwork and Text are not free in Australia. This might mean that the background must be painted out, as it includes partial stamps (2D artwork) and a fair amount of Text in the photograph. Does the background require painting out, or is it okay to keep? IJReid (talk) 16:01, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

I think this rule applies in most such cases: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:De_minimis FunkMonk (talk) 21:33, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

So it shouldn't be necessary to paint stuff out unless it is a main focus of the image, or if it brought up during a deletion nomination. FunkMonk (talk) 08:36, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

File:Lexovisaurus2.jpg

I believe that User:Levi bernardo intended to redirect File:Lexovisaurus2.jpg to File:Lexovisaurus1.jpg, but not having user rights, incorrectly redirected it. Could you fix this? Thanks, IJReid (talk) 18:21, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

• That's not possible, just tag it as a duplicate next time. FunkMonk (talk) 20:19, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I hope the explanation is sufficiently satisfactory. Regards --PePeEfe (talk) 09:09, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

I answered to your remark. Sorry for the time lapse, but most work I do on commons I do while telefonating. While doing this I am able to sort pictures but I am not able to write sentences, which always means that it is difficult to me to find the time to answer questions on commons. --Kersti (talk) 11:50, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

I'm not even sure what that image was. FunkMonk (talk) 06:59, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
