From the archive: The monkey selfie copyright dispute concluded in early September 2017. David Slater put out photographic equipment for monkeys to use, and one named Naruto took this selfie. Slater claimed copyright on the image, PETA sued Slater, saying Naruto owned the copyright (and they should administer it for him because that's how they think this works). Wikipedia said, (correctly, according to judges), that you can't claim a copyright on behalf of an animal photographer, and uploaded the image to our servers, and Slater told us to take it down. We didn't.

Yep, we're back again for a structured look into Wikipedia's history...
