  • Keep Image does contain metadata, and doesn't look overly polished (for instance, there appears to be a bit of red-eye left over in the photo). This web site seems to back up the claim in question. Unless there's some substantive evidence of problems or specific reason to believe the attribution is false, I think this image should be kept.

Description: author „Marcus Cancelo“; EXIF data: „Paul Smith“. --Polarlys 11:41, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
And Paul Smith's website from the EXIF data is here. Delete. Lewis Collard! (talk, contribs, en.wp) 16:12, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
OK, this user's uploads definitely have problems. Delete Crotalus horridus 22:24, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Here goes:
This needs some really good explanations. Lupo 21:24, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
I should add that all this makes me feel rather uneasy about Image:Britney-Spears082.jpg, too. Lupo 21:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Ok, I'm not going to hunt down the rest, it just takes too much time. I've found copyvios from wireimage.com and Getty from a variety of photographers, mis-attributions, wrong location statements, and so on. Delete all uploads of User:Imageboy1, including Britney Spears, as well as all images of his that have been transwiki'd to the Commons. We may lose a few images that he might indeed have taken himself, but this user is IMO no longer trustworthy. Lupo 21:59, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
      • Update: even that "Santa Monica Celebrity Report" doesn't seem to exist. Their alleged internet presence looks very amateurish, has next to no content, is stale since Feb 1, 2007, and in general looks like someone just set it up to fake the existence of such a paper. Of the three images they show at , the third is a Getty image again: photographer Vince Bucci. The Google results for "Santa Monica Celebrity Report" are also very interesting: a grand total of four hits: the user's user and talk page at en-WP, the fake site mentioned above, and this very page here.

      • And Image:Britney-Spears082.jpg comes from here, part of a whole set of which I cannot find any attribution. Lupo 22:13, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Delete ALL per lupo. Clearly the user uploader these photographs with the intent to pass them off as their own. Can we get the user in question blocked ? Megapixie 05:37, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
