It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Valamis. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Several different logos are seen within this picture. Are these logos all related within this company, or are they merely tenants in the same building? I'm not sure what kind of issues there would be with posting a picture carrying different logos and placing that picture here, in effect, using representations of other logos to identify this company. Does anyone else know? spintendo 14:15, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Finland, where the building is located, does have freedom of panorama for buildings per c:COM:FOP#Finland, so a photo of the building itself should be OK. As for the signage on the building, I believe it could be argued that this is a case of de minimis (c:COM:DM) or incidental inclusion since the focus of the photo is the building, not the individual signs, and it would be impossible to take a photo of the building without including the signs. If this was a close up photo of one of the signs on the building, it might be a problem. There's nothing really about this in c:COM:DM#Finland, but I think it should be OK since this kind of thing is allowed in the EU per c:COM:DM#European Union. Since the file is from Commons, asking at c:COM:VPC might help clarify things. -- Marchjuly (talk) 14:32, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see that both of those instances you mentioned are covered by WP:IUP which states:

Some images may contain trademarked logos incidentally (or purposely if the image is either freely licensed, covered under freedom of panorama, or being too simple to be copyrightable). If this is the case, please tag it with {{trademark}}.

So if the COI editor could add the trademark template to the photograph, then I will add the photograph to the article. Thank you Marchjuly for your help its much appreciated! spintendo 15:02, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

By adding {{trademark}} tag, wouldn't this affect any other rights or licenses? currently, it is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license, and this picture was made by me? -- Ivan.Andreev (talk) 15:46, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
