In Estonian Wikipedia we have a copyright exemption
(
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Licensing_policy) for
photos of buildings, statues etc., whose authors have not died
recently (70 years after death hasen't passed yet).
These photos are tagged with
http://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mall:KunstiteoseFoto.
And these photos can't be uploaded to Commons, because of no Freedom
of Panorama in Estonian Copyright Law:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:FOP#Estonia.
So some photos of monuments will be ok for Estonian Wikipedia, but not
ok for Wikimedia Commons.

Hi Raul,
an imporant aspect of the image competition is that the images have to be
able to be used on the local Wikipedia - therefore it is important that they
are allowed under local law (we dont want people to do something illegal).
To keep it simple, we should try to do all uploading on Wikimedia Commons
(this allows shared tools, simplified messaging and participation by
tourists when they get home and dont speak estonian) - and therefore all
images should *also* be allowed under Commons policies.
I hope that is clear :) If you have a specific situation in mind, I would
welcome you to share it.
With kind regards,
Lodewijk

Hi,
did I understand correctly, that pictures taking part from national
WLM competition have to follow the copyright rules on local Wikipedia.
And from European competition can take part only pictures that are
free enough for Wikimedia Commons.
