Savoia Marchetti S.55 sea plane[edit]

{{nonfreeimage|Marchetti.JPG|Savoia Marchetti S.55 sea plane|right|150px}} I know this illustration appeared in Savoia-Marchetti S.55 is way too playful. I still want to nominate it anyway. - Toytoy 05:57, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)

  • Nominate and support. Here's my vote. - Toytoy 05:57, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. As a diagram, I would prefer it to be serious. Also, no licence conditions. Enochlau 06:14, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Cartoonish, doesn't add any info or making anything from the associated article clearer, no copyright tag. --Lommer 06:30, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Comment. See here for the license issue. -- [[User:Solitude|Solitude\talk]] 08:55, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)
  • Support. Cartoonish, yes. Playful, yes. Could add a bit more info here and there. But the big question is: Does this illustration make the article more interesting and fun? And does it add anything to making learning and sharing of information more fun? Then my 2 cents says Absolutely! --Eric 11:54, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. While being a well drawn funny illustration, it remains a cartoon that vaguely resembles a S.55 telling me that the gas tank is in the wing and where captain Balbo is located. I would vote to remove this cartoon from the article S55 article too. Cartoons do have their place, but not in a encyclopedia article. Especially, if it does not contain any useful information. In addition it got copyright issues and has ugly url at the bottom. Janderk 15:01, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Fair use is not eligible for FP status, should be archived unless the license changes. ed g2s • talk 21:51, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • The original Dutch auther tagged his own images as Fair use, before they were not tagged at all, I wonder, is it even possible to declare your own original work Fair use, and even so, how can these be Fair use? -- [[User:Solitude|Solitude\talk]] 15:56, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose on copyright grounds. Apart from that, it's cute but not very informative. I have no objection to cartoons in an encyclopedia (I own a great book called "The Way Things Work" (ISBN 0-395-42857) which has interesting, and detailed explanations of many common machines, generally operated by one or more wooly mammoths) but they should be informative (and legal - I'm not sure "fair use" even applies to this sketch, not that I live in a country where "fair use" is the rule)
    • Hah, I have that book here, in Dutch, under an entirely different title, but I fondly remember the lovable mammoths :) -- [[User:Solitude|Solitude\talk]] 10:40, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose - a really superb illustration, but I don't think it belongs in an encyclopedia. --Rlandmann 01:31, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 22:21, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • Archived. Inappropriate license. ed g2s • talk 17:00, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
