Picture question

[edit]

I have had millions (or so it seems) photographs I've taken, mostly of sculpture, removed by wikilawyers who claim that they are not copyright free. So who owns the rights to pictures of the mural? I'm not going through the trouble of formatting them and posting them, just to have them end up in the still growing trash heap of my efforts. Carptrash (talk) 14:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

@Carptrash blame rather the U.S. copyright law for not having complete Freedom of Panorama, not Wikimedia Commons administrators. As per the now-expanded Freedom of panorama in the United States#Notable lawsuits concerning sculptures, there are several high profile cases concering post-1978 public sculptures of the United States. Two of the cases, in which the infringer was a U.S. government agency, ended up with the infringer paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to the camps of the sculptors, with one of such instance inclusive of interest. As long as the U.S. law is not reformed, we can't host more non-incidental images of modern U.S. sculptures; the number of successful deletion requests concerning U.S. FoP images have reached more than 6K.

New Material

[edit]

Hello, in the next few days I'm planning on adding some additional material on the commissioning and content of the murals. Jaime Munoz 19:00, 9 December 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaime munoz1987 (talkcontribs)

Unclear

[edit]

In the section on "Commission", it reads "There was even an event were [sic, presumably 'where'] 6,000 workers were on strike, but was sabotaged and ended in five deaths and the wounding of others." What is the subject of the passive clause "was sabotaged"? Some event, the strike, the plant? Who died, the striking workers? And what is the subject of "ended"? Also, higher up in the article, it says "Rivera was perfect for the job." This sounds like an unsupported opinion, not s.t. that belongs in a factual encyclopedia article.

You should have made this notification a month ago. Note that I already added the template above. Don't be surprised if you get reverted for vomiting text onto the page. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:38, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mural at Assembly Brewing in Portland, Oregon

Worth mentioning the mural at Assembly Brewing (Portland, Oregon) inspired by the Detroit Industry Murals? ---Another Believer (Talk) 00:22, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Missing information

[edit]

Nothing about sizes of murals, materials used, processes, etc. 86.160.228.56 (talk) 07:11, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
