Summary

Image taken from http://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/picturedisplay.asp?linkpath=pic\M\E\Melnyk_Andrii.jpg

The image is a picture of the subject of the article Andriy Melnyk. In the article Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) the image depicts the leader, Andriy Melnyk, of one of thwe two factions of the OUN. How is that not a legitimate use of the image? This seems ridiculous.Faustian (talk) 13:50, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
