Images of sculptures

Hi Myshkin! I noticed that you uploaded beautiful images of Japanese sculptures such as this. You don't say where you took them from, but there is a very high chance that they are not usable on wikipedia because of licensing/copyrights. They are certainly not reproductions of two-dimensional works of art as you claim in the "permission" section. If they are recent images (as they appear to be judging from the quality) they can only be uploaded to wikipedia/commons if the photographer allows to do so (gives them a suitable license). Uploading images of 2D objects (writings, paintings, flat textiles...) has no such problem, because it is reasoned that a scan (or just straight on image) of these is a piece of cake and not copyright-able while in the case of 3D objects the photographer has a choice of different view-pointgs, lighting.... all of which justify the copyright. It is very likely that the images you uploaded will be eventually deleted. Unless you are very sure that the images are ok for use in wikipedia, and confirm this with WP:Media_copyright_questions, please refrain from uploading them and from putting them into articles as this will create extra work later on if the images get removed. Thank you. bamse (talk) 21:38, 13 October 2017 (UTC) PS: If you do want to help with uploading images of Japanese art, the most common options are images of 2D-objects, which are always ok (use tags PD-Art|PD-Japan in this case), or images from old books about Japan (use PD-Japan-oldphoto in this case). bamse (talk) 21:38, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

I see, no wonder so many pictures were missing from the list... I wrongly assumed 2d pictures of old works were ok. I'll look into it, but most of the pictures I've uploaded are from the Tokyo National Museum, so they're surely copyrighted in some way. Sorry for the mess, and thanks for you wonderful work on japanese art! Myshkin. (talk) 22:20, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello, following on from the above, it may be this process needs to be followed - Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion - let me know if you want a hand as we probably should address; thanks! Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 17:56, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
