Hi, and welcome to Commons...
[edit]Hi, and sorry that your first interaction here ended up being a deletion discussion. Wikimedia projects (including Wikipedia) are actually quite stringent about complying with copyright law -- which, as you may have noticed, is relatively draconian in many instances. For the relevant policy, see Commons:Project scope/Precautionary principle, which that states (see #3) that it is not sufficient that the copyright holder might be happy about the dissemination of their work. Just wanted to let you know that your contributions are definitely appreciated (some great photos of historic buildings!) but that photographing artworks or signs raises unavoidable copyright problems. Hopefully someone ends up contacting the Ohio Historical Society to see if they're willing to freely license the relevant text, which organizations often are.
