Christina Lazar-Schuler Photographer

Given the assertion of a copyright by the person you indicated was the image source, I took the liberty of deleting the image. Please note that the copyright holder must give Wikipedia copyright permission to use an image, unless the image is available as public domain or for fair use. In this case, it does not appear that either of the latter apply. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. --TeaDrinker (talk) 06:44, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

On further investigation, I discovered all the images you uploaded were from Janet Echelman's website, and all appeared to be under copyright. Wikipedia takes copyrights very seriously. I have gone ahead and deleted them; I am sorry for not giving you more notice, however Wikiepdia is widely mirrored. A mislicensed image can be rapidly copied around the internet, possibly damaging the value of the image to the author. If I have made a mistake here, please let me know and I will see what I can do about fixing it. As it is, you may want to read through Wikipedia:Copyrights. Let me know if you have any concerns. --TeaDrinker (talk) 07:11, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the note! In general an image is replaceable (and thus, not available under fair use) if another image could be obtained of the same thing or if other freely licensed images already exist. Thus we are not likely to be able to use photos of a public sculpture under fair use. We will have to either get the permissions from the photographer (see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials, although they often say no), or have someone else take a picture/donate a picture.

There's a second consideration, which is the copyright held by the sculptor in the work. That is a good deal more complex, so perhaps we can cross that bridge when we come to it (certainly, a fair use claim can be made to illustrate the sculpture).

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns! --TeaDrinker (talk) 01:26, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:1.26 Amsterdam, Janet Echelman.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:1.26 Amsterdam, Janet Echelman.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 18:26, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
