Image:Adolph-Menzel-Aquarell-gemalt-von-Eduard-Magnus-1837.jpg

This image is used on Thomas7's French user page (fr:Utilisateur:Thomas7). This user uploaded it on Commons without mentioning its source. The problem is that the picture has been edited and is not a genuine reproduction : one could see an Nazi eagle and a svatiska twice on it on transparency, at the top of the picture (right and left). villy 18:46, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

That is not the truth. Look for the history of this image. The user Thomas7f (not myself Thomas7 without f) is abusing my Userid and is uploading nazi-images to bring down my reputation. In the german wikipedia and as a queer I had conflicts with right wing Studentenverbindungen. This kind of mobbing is typical for their behaviour. The picture of the famous painter Adolph Menzel was imprinted with nazi-emblems in watermarks by this mobber. Menzel died in 1905, his pictures could be seen in international galeries and are public domain. The picture was painted in 1837 by Eduard Magnus and is in the public domain too. My original computer image was without this watermark falsifications. I have reloaded the original file. The mobber try to camouflage false identity by bringing citations of my discussion texts on his discussion page. Thomas7 (in the french and english wikipedia without f) 00:00, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
