It seems like we've seen a bit of a silent creep of photos of objects representing copyrighted cartoon or movie characters. Photographing an _object_ of something which is copyrighted does not magically remove it from being so. As a start, I've nominated several Star Wars pictures for deletion:

I've also updated Commons:Licensing:

Please help to clean up photos of copyrighted characters on Commons.
Thanks, Erik
