- Just so you know, images of statuary are copyright-protected in the United States as derivative works of the sculptor's original work. This makes it very hard for it to be hosted on Commons, where everything is free-content. You may be able to use them on the English Wikipedia under a fair-use rationale, as standards are somewhat different there. Acroterion (talk) 03:06, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
- The issue isn't whether you took the picture, but that the picture you took becomes a derivative of a copyrighted work, and thus unusable here: that's not widely known, but it comes up on Commons a lot because of Commons' requirement for unrestricted licensing. As I said, it may be usable on one of the individual wikis under a fair-use rationale. Acroterion (talk) 03:33, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images
[edit]
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.CategorizationBot (talk) 15:18, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

About all these deletions
[edit]No one doubts that, yes, you indeed took the photographs. The problem is that Wikimedia Commons cannot freely publish works by Richard Hallier. United States laws do not allow freedom of panorama for sculpture. Yes, anyone can photograph it; no, you cannot publish it without the sculptor's consent (or, in case of Hallier, who died last year, his heirs or his estate custodian). For as long as his copyright remains protected by U.S. laws - that is, not in my life and perhaps not in yours too. I jumped on these deletion debates simply to close the case - selective deletions suck; it would be better for everyone if all works by Hallier are removed. All or nothing.

Hello Stanton49.
You have uploaded one or more files that are copyright violations. You have done so despite requests from editors not to do so, and despite their instructions. See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter useful. This is your last warning. The next time you upload a file that violates copyright, you will be blocked. Please leave me a message if you have further questions. |
