IMO the photos are copyrighted. Ericd 20:35 Feb 10, 2003 (UTC)

Photos are used under "fair use" provisions of copyright statutes. - Bison

Should we keep the photos ? Ericd 20:24 Apr 18, 2003 (UTC)

This is an educational non-profit organization. As long as the photos are credited I don't believe anyone would even attempt to file suit against the wikipedia, especially in regards to a photo of Churchill or Einstein. Juan Hernandez

Wikipedia is not an educational organization.... Where are the classrooms ?

Yer in one... Juan Hernandez

We don't need fair use. These photos are Public Domain. I'm uploading better version of these photos giving proper referecences and copyright datas. Ericd 20:54 Apr 18, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] "Safety of Syria"?

The beginning of the biography starts by saying:

At the age of 14, Karsh fled with his family to the safety of Syria.

What was he fleeing, from which he would be safe in Syria? The article does not say! Michael Hardy 00:44, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Probably a consequence of the Armenian genocide ? Ericd 10:57, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
