Public art like statues edit

I have a "must read" for you about the copyright for public statues and art https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Public_art_and_copyrights_in_the_US . It's a requirement at Commons for art to comply with this section and I would expect the English Wikipedia to be the same. Royalbroil 03:11, 25 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

There is no discussion on the listed page about fair use. I spoke with one of our attorneys this morning (City of Green Bay) and they have advised me that using the images is within fair use provided it is not for commercial purposes. Further, if I am acting as a representative of the City and using the images for non-commercial purposes, it is clearly fair use. I will look at the license in more detail to see if I am using the correct one. - Rauglothgor (talk) 18:55, 25 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Fair use isn't discussed because it is NEVER allowed at Commons. I have deleted a lot of statue and art images from Commons for these reasons. Fair use is against Commons' purpose of being strictly free use images (free means libre in this context). All images at Commons must allow for Commercial use (non-commercial restriction isn't allowed). Another main image concept is that derivatives must be allowed. You can do fair use here at the English Wikipedia. You've run into some of the snags that early Wikipedians always run into! I usually advise newer Wikipedians to stay away from images that they didn't take themselves, but you ran into the main problem with that advice (art / statue images).
Some Wikipedians wouldn't like your phrase about acting on behalf of the city. User accounts are actually supposed to be personal. Something to think about anyhow. Royalbroil 01:08, 26 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
This is a personal account. Please remove any images you feel have violated the terms of use here. - Rauglothgor (talk) 02:08, 26 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Freimann Hotel Building edit

 

The article Freimann Hotel Building has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not meet WP:GNG. It is included in Wisconsin historical building database, but not designated at the national or even state level. Searching turns up little except for the historic marker on the building.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. MB 15:35, 6 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Nomination of Freimann Hotel Building for deletion edit

 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Freimann Hotel Building is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Freimann Hotel Building until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. MB 18:41, 6 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Zippin Pippin Logo.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Zippin Pippin Logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 19:22, 29 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
