No photography rule edit

I went round this museum and there is a clear injunction not to photograph anything. This raises a question of whether Wikipedia should be using photographs that have been wrongfully obtained. Also it shouldn't take much explaining why these photographs shouldn't have been taken. I may list this as a possible copyright issue too , because the 'work' is not that of the photographer but of the monks who created the designs . There's clearly an ethical problem with these photos if nothing else Hmcst1 (talk) 22:31, 16 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Hmcst1: Hello — I couldn't agree more. But the question should be solved on Wikicommons, first (and I've seen much more recent works whose copyrights were dubious treated in a very casual way there) and even then, plenty of photographs of the crypt are available under the same license elsewhere on the internet, so I am afraid that wouldn't lead us very far (or would lead us too far without a chance to win the case). Unless you'd like to decide here not to put any picture on this page. In which case, like I said, I absolutely agree but would we get consensus on erasing the pictures? Unfortunately I doubt it...Cheers,---TP's TP (talk) 22:01, 6 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
