Image:Uluruskull.jpg

[edit]

Can we please delete this image (as per wikipedia:Talk:Uluru#Photo_of_.22banned.22_zone), as it is

  1. Of a culturally sensitive site in Uluru.
  2. Park photography rules (http://www.deh.gov.au/parks/uluru/vis-info/pubs/guidelines.pdf) seem to say that you can't license your images of Uluru under the GDFL.

Thanks. - Malkinann 11:46, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCommons have lots of photos from concerts where it is assumed that photographing is not allowed. It has been WikiCommons practice to only take into account copyright law and disregard other restrictions; eg. local bylaws, ordinances. Does Australia have anything similar to "panorama freedom"? What about satellite photos of the area? Thuresson 12:08, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are many other photographs of Uluru. This one is not being used in the Wikipedia article, and has been removed from that article following the discussion that I've linked above. The copyright of the image may belong to the person who took it, but Uluru belongs to the Aboriginal people of the area, and they have specifically stated in signage around the sacred site, and on the park literature, that photographs were not allowed. I can only assume that the photographer took the photograph by accident, not knowing that they were being offensive. By entering the park, the photographer would have to agree to the rules of the park. The photography rules say that you need a permit to use any images commercially. This is clearly incompatible with the GDFL. I'm not sure what "panorama freedom" is, but during aerial photographing, it is not permitted to take photographs of the sacred sites. - Malkinann 00:42, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kept. No offense but I do not see any reason for deletion. We have tens of images of Mohamed. --Cat out 21:06, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
