No freedom of panorama for sculptures in US, see Commons:FOP#United_States Morning ☼ (talk) 16:56, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
Comment Any info on the age of the statue and/or who the artist was? No fop for US sculptures, but some may be PD for various reasons. -- 20:46, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
- The whole FOP thing seems kind of silly to me, but hey thats the government and copyright lawyers for ya. The statue is either property of the state of Missouri or the federal government.I've no idea who the original sculptor was or the year it was created since I dn't physically visit the site nor take the photo. What makes this different than the Statue of Liberty? Is it because it was pre-1923? I notice that the Wikipedia article for Stan Musial has statue photo and it seemed to pass muster -- and it is certainly newer than the Pershing one. I guess if it's a big hairy deal just delete it. I'm not inclined to jump through more hoops finding out the date of statue creation, etc. If I need to reload and claim the same "fair use" criteria as Musial I guess I'd be willing to do that. I just thought it was a nice little image that enhanced the article and the photographer who posted it on Flickr was happy to change the licensing so it could be used here.Sector001 (talk) 21:43, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
Keep: You do need to jump through a few hoops but a quick search of the Smithsonian Art Catalogue, a first choice for US sculptures, easily finds this statue was originally installed in 1955 apparently without any copyright notice per this page so it should use the template {{PD-US-no notice}}. The artist was Carl Mose. Ww2censor (talk) 09:59, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
