Request first posted on 2006/12/31, re-entered to get more input. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 21:13, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

REASON : copyvio suspected

  • The main subject of the photo is the artists' work, called The Gate. The artists, Christo and Jeanne-Claude are famous for actively acts against unautorized photo publications, because their own photos are their source of money. I'm not sure the « that's my own photo » is enough to autorize publication on Internet, even if the photo was taken in a public place. Depends of the US laws. It's actually under CC licence and not "copyrighted material". Maybe a problem, cause on the FR wikipedia, copyrighted pictures are banned.
  • I put the {{copyvio}} tag. Sorry, I don't want to spend 3 hours understanding the deep subtility of commons rules.
  • The Gate, New York City, 2005. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christo for the artist page.
  • There are a few other pictures from Christo artwork, on wikipedia. See EN or FR, for example.

I'm not really convinced by the arguments above, but this photo at Flickr is tagged with "All rights reserved", flickr.com. Thuresson 23:00, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The Flickr tag is a moot point since the photo was taken by User:AnnaKucsma. This is a tricky issue that requires extensive knowledge of the US copyright laws. But this isn't just about this image, but probably the entitre Category:The Gates or even Category:Christo. // Liftarn
