[edit]

Iraq has no Freedom of Panorama for modern buildings unless the architect died more than 50 years ago, I believe. Leoboudv (talk) 22:16, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. That is a really broad and excessive interpretation of a very short part of one 2004 amendment by en:Coalition Provisional Authority (= US military?! no iraqi had a say in this?!) that someone added to the page ("Please review and correct as necessary. Thanks!"). The monument was built in 1980, long before this legal change - why would that even apply? And it's a national monument, for god's sake! I do care about copyright. This is madness. We are calling Iraqis to participate in Wiki Loves Monuments 2014 and then we delete the uploaded images of monuments? That is insane. --Atlasowa (talk) 11:38, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
