Hi 61Storm. Thanks. I've edited your post containing the link to the image and deleted the image. So far the bluebonnet is the only image I've found listing a copyright holder but most of the time it's not listed.

I found the copyright while I was looking through the new images. Each image uploaded to the wiki is given a 'page' that lists the upload history. This history will include any Metadata attached to the image. This is where I found the copyright. There are many images uploaded that acould be potential copyright infringement which would require research.

How to know if an image may be copyrighted. Truth is most are. But you can look for these signs to help you.


 * Does the image contain the copyright symbol? ©
 * Is there a watermark? Overlays of symbols or text.
 * a Note indicating ownership

Also, consider the source of the image. The copyright owner of the bluebonnet image was a Newpaper.

If the copyright is listed in the Metadata. It's difficult to know ahead of when you upload an image. This is why I monitor the new images.

Monitoring the images was not done for about 2 years. There are many images to sift through. I haven't been able to clean up much yet.
