Does this really fall under "other instructed circulars issued by state organizations"? TansoShoshen (talk) 01:05, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

 Yes it is legit! It is formal issuance under , so, yes it may be considered as an official instruction Hwi.padam (talk) 01:32, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Alternatively, it can be interpreted as direct extraction from documents like this one, even as part of the seal, which is unlikely to be copyrighted due to it being explicitly registered by state authorities and part of the official documentation (either as the header logo or the seal). TL;DR this one can be understood as an official circular and formal issuance of guidance because it is the official website, and it can also be known as graphical extraction from multiple public document. Hwi.padam (talk) 01:44, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

@Hwi.padam In that 1st regard, the official portraits of HM Sihanouk, Sihamoni, and the Queen Mother have been deleted time and time again because consensus states that photos and lots of other graphical media weren't covered.

The thing about the document though, interesting, I'll give it that. I'll reserve judgement until we get more opinions. TansoShoshen (talk) 02:36, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Well yes, I have to agree that it's kinda on the borderline. If the portraits were not accepted, interpreting the arms as extraction from official document should be considered, even though I'm not sure how they interpret it in Cambodia. Hwi.padam (talk) 02:46, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

File:Lanthanolania.jpg

False authorship and license. The photo was originally uploaded to the Russian Wikipedia as non-free in 2014 - see ru:Файл:Лантанолания.jpg. The file in the Russian Wikipedia has a source that contains the image. GAndy (talk) 09:21, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

I agree that the "own work" claim is false, but it says that it was a cross-wiki upload from en-wiki, so I assume this was a mistake on the behalf of the uploader @GleisReis: when they uploaded the image from en-wiki, where it may have been correctly uploaded under a valid license (unfortunately this information is erased when the image is transferred to Commons). The image looks to me like it is one drawn by prolific paleoartist Dmitry Bogdanov @ДиБгд: , who has freely licensed many of his works to Commons, so perhaps they would be able to comment whether or not they are the creator of the image, and if it was ever uploaded to Wikipedia under a valid license to begin with? Hemiauchenia (talk) 14:52, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

In the English Wikipedia, this file is used in four articles. In Amniote, the image was added on December 10, 2023, and in the other three articles, it was added in 2026. The file was added to the articles after it was uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. It did not replace the local file from the English Wikipedia. There is no information in the edit history of these articles that the local file existed and was used in the articles. I believe that the information when downloading "Cross-wiki upload from en.wikipedia.org" is also inaccurate, as there was no file in the English Wikipedia. GAndy (talk) 06:24, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

You seem to be correct. I can find no evidence of the Lanthanolania image ever being used on enwiki prior to GleisReis uploading it to Commons. It's hypothetically possible it was uploaded but never used, but I think that's unlikely. Hopefully GleisReis can clarify. Hemiauchenia (talk) 17:12, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

File:Ford Focus hits Nissan X-Trail (41293321000).jpg

Out of scope, looks like a kids toy hitting a car. Serves no purpose and its a toy car. Toy car in violation of COM:TOYS LuvsMG481 (talk) 17:36, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

LuvsMG481, this toy car appears to be drivable which makes it a utilitarian object. Its performance and range are undoubtedly crap (but slightly better than a tricycle), but it is utilitarian. If e.g. the windscreen wipers are not functional (which I can't tell from this image) you could argue that those parts are purely artistic, but that would likely be de minimis.
For this image in particular, I don't immediately see how it could be used educationally as it doesn't show the whole thing or any particular aspect. The focus is on the kid polishing the headlight. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 22:16, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Das Wappen ist das offizielle Wappen des Dorfes. Es wird vom Ort selbst geführt (alte Stempel sind überliefert) und ist auch in der Hauptgemeinde Hirschberg so geführt und auf deren Homepage abgebildet. Warum es so einfach und unheraldisch gezeichnet wurde, kann ich bisher nicht sagen. Es soll auf jeden Fall einen Krautkopf darstellen, der dort zu früheren Zeiten überwiegend angebaut wurde.
