The given website doesn't belong to Government of Bihar. It is a non profit website as stated which doesn't hold copyright of the image. Incorrect source. ShaanSenguptaTalk 17:54, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, the author is government of Bihar, because the Prs website has taken it from Bihar Vidhan Sabha website which is managed by Bihar Vidhan Sabha secretariat, falling under Government of Bihar's jurisdiction. It was first uploaded on Election Commission of India website by the candidate themselves while filing the nomination for election and w:Election Commission of India falls under jurisdiction of Ministry of Parliamentary affairs of Government of India. Hence 'GODL-India licence may also be applicable. (An example is File:Ram Ratan Singh.jpg, which was originally uploaded on Election Commission of India website and later on Bihar Vidhan Sabha website. It was reviewed by an Indian administrator who confirmed that it was available there at that time. You can find same image by typing Teghra Assembly constituency in Know Your MLA section of Bihar Legislative Assembly website. To Sum up, these images are free and can be uploaded under any of the two or three licences.) However finding it on Election Commission of India website is difficult. The stuff on prs website are available under CC Attribution 4.0 International license and it has been cleared by the administrators earlier like this one. File:Satyadeo Singh Kushwaha.jpg. PS: Prs uses only those stuff which are freely available, it hasn't there otherwise.Admantine123 (talk) 13:06, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Admantine123 Always try to be brief. First copyright is with the one which publishes it first. Not every publisher is the copyright holder. Any image can have just one valid license. All others release it under the same license. Also the source you mentioned has nowhere stated that where have they taken that file from. Only if the original source is given then this file can be kept. ShaanSenguptaTalk 04:47, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Many images from PRS are already cleared by multiple administrators as licence reviewed. How can we explain them ? I started uploading images from PRS only after I saw some of them getting reviewed. Otherwise I am happy with uploading the images from Government of Bihar website which are available under Attribution license. A large number of them are reviewed here on commons. I remember you also supported retaining of one such image which was nominated by someone. Admantine123 (talk) 05:20, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Ofc I supported bcoz that was the right to do as it was coming directly from a website of the Govt of Bihar. But here it is taken from a different website which has nowhere mentioned about the source of the image from where it has been taken. Once it is clear, there won't be any problem.
