Anyway, I think we shouldn't use any images unless we can definitively say where they're from -- from what the librarian at my present college says, one still has to credit image sources for fair use, or it isn't fair use.
At last under threat of deletion, "Triton"/DW now admits that these two images: http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:843-870_Europe.jpg http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:ClovisDomain.jpg
come via: http://globegate.utm.edu/french/globegate_mirror/medhist.html specifically from: http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/maps/844-870map.jpg http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/maps/frankmapc6.jpg
After some searching, I was able to find them actually cited here: http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/sbookmap.html
Frankish Domains 511-561 (BW) Source: Gregory of Tours, History of the Franks, trans. Ernest Brehaut,(New York: Columbia University Press, 1916)
The Division of the Carolingian Empire: Verdun 843 and Mersen, 870 (Col) Adapted from Muir's Historical Atlas: (1911)
Their age would seem to put them squarely in the public domain. I'm additing citations...
"Triton"/DW seems to have no concept of reasonable behavior in general, though. No ability to compromise, no interest in citing sources as academic honesty demands of us, no willingness to accept that we might have higher standards of quality assurance than the minimum obligations the law requires. And waaaaay too much attachment to "his" "FACTS". As before, any modification earns his wrath. Frankly, I'm not impressed and would consider anything written by this character to be suspect.
