    This morning some of my most expensive photo's appear to be fake and now I see that some guy at Wikipedia used one of my photo's of Arthur Kullmer on Wikipedia!!!
    When I nominated it for deletion some idiot replied "1925 photo, collector does not own the copyright" !!!
    The guy could at least ASK for permission!
    If it's a common picture then they can use it - however say if you bought it and it at a fair and it is an absolute one of a kind - you take it home and made a scan of it or a JPEG photograph of the original picture then as far as I understand it you own the copyright to that sacn you made or to the particular JPEG photograph you took of the original physical photograph. ie the JPEG that came out of your digital camera is still yours wikipedia can't just put a claim on what comes out of your camera/scanner.

      The photo of Arthur Kullmer that I have is really one of a kind, made in 1925, not a postcard but private studio portrait.
      I don't have a clue how to contact Wikipedia and say that they just can't use this...

        If that exact JPEG file on their website came out of your scanner or your digital camera - then I believe you still own it regardless of the expiration of copyright on the original image taken back in 1925.

          Yes it is, the photo on Wikipedia has a scratch at the right and some white things, exact the same as on my photo.
          I guess the guy who posted it on Wikipedia copied it from Feldgrau, where I posted the photo, with again the same scratch!

          Feldgrau link below.
