File copyright status
[edit]Welcome to Wikimedia Commons. While everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the project, one or more of your file uploads had missing or false information regarding its source and copyright status. Please note that Wikimedia Commons takes copyright rules and infringement very seriously. Files may only be uploaded and included if their copyright status meets the conditions stated in our licensing policy, and if their source is clearly documented. Files that fail to meet those conditions may be deleted, and users who fail to meet them may be blocked. Please follow our first steps, if you haven't already. If you have questions, feel free to ask at the Village Pump copyright question page or on my talk page. Thank you. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:42, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
"Need Understanding of Deletion Nomination" for COM:Deletion requests/File:KORWARM2.jpg
[edit]Regarding your inquiries at COM:Deletion requests/File:KORWARM2.jpg:
Question | Response |
---|---|
Not sure why this is nominated even though listed the National Register of Historic Places Korean War Veterans Memorial. | See the contest rules at COM:Wiki Loves Monuments 2023 in the United States "Copyright notes" section: In the United States, you may freely take photos of buildings, but not copyrighted artworks and sculptures. See our page on freedom of panorama for more information. Permanently installed artworks may be photographed if they were installed before 1926, or installed before 1978 without a copyright notice. |
Does that mean I shouldn't take pictures of such things or is Wikimedia protecting itself from an artist that created something for all American to see or National grounds? | It means that Korean War Veterans Memorial is a 1990s artwork still protected by copyright and therefore photographs, videos, paintings, sketches, or other reproductions of it are not free to use. Wikicommons only accepts media free of copyright claims--see COM:FOP US "Artworks and sculptures" section and see notice at top of Category:Korean War Veterans Memorial. |
I have another photo KORMEM1 also nominated for deletion. Same issue? | Yes. |

If you want to get sued for using these photos of the works of sculptor Frank Gaylord commercially without a license through 70 years after his death, please contact his lawyer Heidi Harvey of the Boston law firm Fish & Richardson. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:22, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
