Images

As Orange Guy is copyrighted, here are some suggestions for images. First are pictures of signs signs, I've seen Orange Guy signs before but they would've all been taken down by now. The second option I can think of is a picture of the I voted stickers. —Panamitsu (talk) 05:34, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

That’s irrelevant. If there is a copyright, it applies equally to signs and stickers. You can add an image under WP:FAIRUSE, though. Schwede66 15:28, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Really? A picture of a sign or sticker? The sticker itself would make sense but I personally don't understand why a picture of a sticker would be copyrighted but I'm not too familiar with copyright law. —Panamitsu (talk) 21:55, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

If it's copyrighted, it means you can't reproduce it. A photo is a reproduction. Schwede66 02:56, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

So a picture of the Sky Tower or PAK'nSAVE is not reproduction? —Panamitsu (talk) 03:33, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Copyright is complicated. Buildings come under Freedom of Panorama in New Zealand. Schwede66 03:44, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
