[Brianna Laugher]

Some more examples...

"Image of an old-school computer from Wikimedia Commons."
Seems to be http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Science_museum_025_adjusted.jpg
- PD so, OK.

2

"Image of a goat from Wikimedia Commons."
Couldn't find this one but maybe one of Fir0002's? A nice shot.

PD, and we are making military photography more accessible, so that is great. :)

failure to mention and link the license.

PD, so OK

"(Source: Wikimedia Commons)"
Hm... probably http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Bradman.jpg ,
claimed as PD, which gives
http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/australia/content/image/161569.html as
a source, which says  "(c) AFP"... so that's interesting :)

Hm, I couldn't find it on Commons, anyway.

GFDL, so points for trying, but fail.

hm, this could make a Commons drinking game ;)

cheers
