It seems like we've seen a bit of a silent creep of photos of objects
representing copyrighted cartoon or movie characters. Photographing an
_object_ of something which is copyrighted does not magically remove
it from being so. As a start, I've nominated several Star Wars
pictures for deletion:

I've also updated Commons:Licensing:

Please help to clean up photos of copyrighted characters on Commons.

Thanks,
Erik
