Template:CanadaCopyright, Template:AlbertaCopyright, Template:OntarioCopyright and Template:NovaScotiaCopyright

Ambiguous image copyright templates used to tag images lifted from the Government of Canada and subnational entities, they are incompatible with Wikipedia's current policy on non-commerical images. The templates provide no information on the actual copyright of the image - non-commercial images have to be uploaded following the requirments for fair use images; and from a quick look though the category fair use information is not being added to these images. The image copyright page specifically says not to upload images using these tags, and the Canada Copyright template appears to be the only on in wide use. This should not effect Canadian PD images since they have their own template {{PD-Canada}}. Delete--nixie 03:59, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm unsure if {{PD-Canada}} adequately covers Canadian logos and emblems. I know I've tagged some images with some of the current templates precisely because they are government logos/Crown copyright (ergo, public property) with specific provisos prohibiting commercial use. This includes self-made recreations of them (e.g. Image:Flag of Ontario.svg/Image:flagofontario.png, where the former image was tagged based on an erroneous assumption. I'll reserve judgement on this until it can be demonstrated that the consolidated template is sufficient or can be revised to cover for these.

+*'''''Comment'''''  I'm unsure if {{tl|PD-Canada}} adequately covers Canadian logos and emblems.  I know I've tagged some images with some of the current templates ''precisely'' because they are government logos/Crown copyright (''ergo'', public property) with specific provisos prohibiting commercial use.  This includes self-made recreations of them (e.g. [[:Image:Flag of Ontario.svg]]/[[:Image:flagofontario.png]], where the former image was tagged based on an erroneous assumption.  I'll reserve judgement on this until it can be demonstrated that the consolidated template is sufficient or can be revised to cover for these.
