Credit
Where are you getting these crazy rules from? If I hired a professional photographer to take my portrait, it becomes my property and I can take credit for it. The parameter is called "Credit" not "Author". How do we credit any photograph to a company or organization? A company can't physically hold the camera and push the button. If I go on holiday and ask a random stranger to take a photo of me with my camera, I still own the copyright and get to take credit for it. Noted Wikinewsie User:David Shankbone appears in a number of his own photographs (see Commons:Category:David Shankbone). Are you seriously suggesting he should be stripped of credit for all those photos? Because that is the implication of your argument. --SVTCobra 12:12, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Copyright is held by the author who takes the photograph, unless they opt for transferring the copyright prior to, or even after taking the photo. It does not become yours just like that.  Feel free to ask Commons admin, who holds the copyright of the photo if you ask the stranger to take the photo.  It is not you.  Not unless there is an agreed upon terms you can show to verify the claims. •–•  15:00, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Green Giant is, I believe, busy in real life. I'd rather you point me to some rule page. Hiring a photographer is an agreement. Asking someone to take a photo for me is in essence a verbal contract because I said "for me". --SVTCobra 15:13, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
 * When: "work is under copyright protection the moment it is created and fixed in a tangible form that it is perceptible either directly or with the aid of a machine or device." The one who presses the shutter, or triggers the shutter holds the copyright.  If someone was hired, there must be a written document for the terms of copyright status.  If you go to any professional photographer, pay them USD 80, 200 or 500 (whatever the price may be), you get a photoshoot and a license to those photos, but the copyright is still held by the photographer.  If a company, say NatGeo was hiring a photographer, the contract they sign would most likely contain the information about copyright status. Why do you think companies like Nikon mention the copyright status, asserting the photographer's name when they hire photographers?  Because that was not in the terms, and adding that would cause more: so they just buy the license. A document of the agreement is required. •–•  07:19, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't see any documents for File:Zara Kay with the placard "Allah is Gay".jpeg so I re-issued the credit notation. Cheers, --SVTCobra 00:35, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
