File:Mengistu Haile Mariam 3.jpg

This file was initially tagged by Ue3lman as Copyvio (copyvio) and the most recent rationale was: https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/recent-portrait-of-mengistu-haile-mariam-president-of-the-news-photo/515983096. Should be discussed, given the date of the upload (2008 at hewiki). Note that the Getty link refers to Bettmann Archive. We will need a hewiki admin to dig up the old file page for any clues.

I concur.

(This photograph may have been bought by Bettman when he acquired the United Press International collection long before Getty Images acquired any rights. Have Getty Images been contacted to ask whether they would donate the image to Wikimedia ? --BushelCandle (talk) 07:46, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

That would be a fruitless endeavor. The reason I ask for a review, is to find out who created the image, and who is the copyright holder now. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 16:10, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

I am the admin who transfered from he.wiki. The description says "taken in Adis abbeba museum". This might not be sufficent. matanya • talk 17:13, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
