[edit]

These are uploaded claiming they are "own work" but many appear on Heller Furniture's web site. See this note from the account on enwiki which identifies these as images from Heller. Verification of licence through COM:VRT would be required. Note that many of the images include EXIF identifying the copyright holder as "Jim Bastardo Photography" so it is not clear that permission from Heller Furniture would be sufficient.

Re: Vignelli Dinnerware photos, please see Talk page discussion here. [NB: the EXIF identifying the copyright holder as "Jim Bastardo Photography" is not in the files of the dinnerware.] Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 06:52, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've tried to solicit a response from the editor who uploaded these files (at my request) to no avail.
Another possibility might be to contact the Vignelli Center at RIT directly. I would imagine that they would be able to clarify rights for these images (and perhaps even help get a VRT Ticket for them). In my view, it would be a loss to Wikipedia if the images are deleted for lack of proper attribution (for reference, please see Lella and Massimo Vignelli articles on Wikipedia).

It may be worth trying to contact the company Heller directly. If they were made aware of this discussion, and if someone were to explain to them how Commons licensing works, they might consider sending a note to VRT granting usage rights. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 06:48, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've tried to solicit a response from the uploader, thus far to no avail. I may just email the company. How much time do we have here? Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 20:57, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Still working on this. Please be patient. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 07:33, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
