Are you referring to File:CairoEgMuseumTaaMaskMostlyPhotographed.jpg? That image has been on Common for eight years and was uploaded as the submitter's own work, so I'm somewhat dubious that it's a copyright violation. What's your evidence for the claim? A.

Because it is in the public domain it may have just been copied off of wikipedia and put on other websites. Sorry for the mis-interpretation. But I did find it on multiple websites using Google Image Search. It again could just be a mirror website. MersmanD (talk) 11:23, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also please look at this CopyVios link https://copyvios.toolforge.org/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&title=Tutankhamun&oldid=&action=search&use_engine=1&use_links=1&turnitin=0 MersmanD (talk) 11:32, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't a productive way to find copyvios. We encourage use of Commons images by other sites. If you really have a problem with a Commons image, raise it on Commons first. Johnbod (talk) 12:36, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
MersmanD, I know your account is new and you probably don't have a lot of experience with how Wikipedia works. But Wikipedia is mirrored so widely across the internet that if you used evidence this slender as your standard for copyright-tagging, you'd end up tagging most of Wikipedia. The copyvio tool link you provided shows a list of page with text that overlaps with that in this article... and the page with the strongest overlap is a forum page with a post that is explicitly quoting from Wikipedia. Copyright violation is an extremely important thing to watch out for. But if you go looking for it, please do some basic due diligence to distinguish when Wikipedia is copying from other people, as opposed to other people copying from Wikipedia. A.
