Comment Very informative and excellent work. Never knew an moray eel played the monster role in alien;-) Fascinating biomechanics of the pharyngeal jaws, and well illustrated. Great that it is in svg format in easy localizable form. Just what we need here. Concerning categorization, could a category be added which relates to jaws in some manner? --Slaunger (talk) 22:15, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have thought a little about the scope. I think the scope should be widened up to just pharyngeal jaws. As I understand it moray eels are not the only animal, which have pharyngeal jaws, but it is probably the most notable and well-developed example. For me, the existing scope is a tad too narrow. --Slaunger (talk) 22:39, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Question Clearly, this image is a derivative work of an image found in this article from the National Science Foundation, high res version. I note that the derivative work here is dual licensed under GFDL 1.2 or later and CC-BY 3.0. On the NSF web site the following is stated about reuse of graphics from their site: ...photos and illustrations found on the NSF web site should not be reused without permission.... I cannot find any information on the image page indicating that such a permission to reuse has been granted and I would like the nominator (which is also the creator of the derivative work) to comment on that. As I understand licensing, the original image should also be dual licensed or be in the public domain to dual license the derivative work?--Slaunger (talk) 22:39, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Not automatically as I understand. Please read the full link I provided above. IOt seems like permission for reuse are granted on a case by case basis, and that some are in the public domain. The is an email address where enquiries can be send to. I think you should get confirmation from there about the PD license you are assuming, and I do not know if you should do some OTRS stuff after that such that it explicitly is seen from the image page. I hope you are right that it is PD as it would be a mess if it isn't - being an FP on en and all that, and considering its value. --Slaunger (talk) 15:21, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Sorry for the endless comments;-) First of all, you are indeed acting it good faith as the jpg version uploaded here is indeed marked with {{PD-USGov-NSF}} and it is stated in the original article that the creator of the jpg version is indeed an NSF employee. It then just puzzles me how one can say in the {{PD-USGov-NSF}} template that the works of NSF employees done at work are PD as it seems to be in contradiction to what NSF writes on their page about Copyright and Reuse of Text and Graphics. I must admit that this is not something I am terribly knowledgeable about, but I'll ask around, hold on and sorry for the confusion. --Slaunger (talk) 21:40, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support Licensing issue resolved, there was no issue, I was just not aware of the special conditions in the American Code. --Slaunger (talk) 07:23, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
