I know in this thread earlier there was a discussion about copyright/freedom of panaorama etc & how they are applied to "works of art" in public places.
Since then, a debate has arisen on which I would appreciate some more expert opinion...
On the English wikipedia page for Bristol (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol ) there has been for ages an image of "graffiti" by Banksy ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Banksy-ps.jpg ). I nominated the article at FAC ( see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Bristol/... ) and User:Nikkimaria challenged the status of the image saying: "File:Banksy-ps.jpg: freedom of panorama in the UK does not extend to graphic works - you'll need to indicate the licensing status of this mural."
In the light of discussions in this thread I removed the image with the edit summary: "remove Banksy image as 2D not covered by UK Freedom of Panorama".
My removal of the image was reverted with the edit summary "general consensus is that graffiti (illegal) is fine for FoP, but that murals (legal) are not."
Any comments or contributions on this debate (or anything else related to the article) on the FAC nomination page, would be appreciated.

Very interactive! But I had in mind something a little more static.
Will take the tour.
