Hi all, In Washington DC after Wikimania, I went on a monument photo walk and was very happy with some of the photos I took of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_Veterans_Memorial>wallt;wall. Then I started looking at the FoP rules in the U.S. and realized I don't think I can upload most of those photos to Commons, given the wall is likely considered a statue and is therefore under copyright. Several questions: 1. Is this accurate? Should I consider the photos as inadmissible? 2. Does anyone have experience in other countries with monuments that are on the list but are still under copyright? Will we need to be clear that some of the sites on the Register in the U.S. are not eligible for the contest? 3. How does the primary photo<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:TouchWall.jpg>on the EnWP article qualify to be hosted on Commons? Is there a percentage of a photo that can still contain a copyrighted monument and be acceptable for upload to Commons? Or is it a resolution issue? It seems there are various photos of the wall that are on Commons that similarly display the wall without copyright notices or templates, like this one<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Vietnam_Veterans_with_Washing… . Any insight would be appreciated. thanks, Matthew -- Matthew Roth Global Communications Wikimedia Foundation +1.415.839.6885 ext 6635 www.wikimediafoundation.org *https://donate.wikimedia.org*
