Welcome![edit]

Hello, Alias112358, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Response[edit]

Hi Alias112358! Unfortunately the image is released under a non-commercial Creative Commons license, which means that it can't be uploaded - in order for it to be used the image would have to allow commercial usage. Essentially the image can't be released under a more permissive license than the one it's released under. The reason why they can insist on this is because they were the one who took the image in question, so there's a creative copyright in place over how they chose to photograph the artifact, even though the artifact is very old. While the page I'm linking to is for Flickr files, the chart there on Creative Commons license compatibility applies to any image released under a CC license. However that said, I would recommend using this search to see if you can find anything usable.

In good news, not all museums do this. The New York Met releases their content under 0 copyright and depending on the type of artwork, some images can be used. For example, scans that reproduce an old painting (ie, older than the 1920s and not currently copyrighted) can be freely uploaded. However if the scanner decided to use some artistic license with the scan, then we can't unless they released it under a compatible CC license. It can get tricky, to be sure, but what this means is that you can definitely use the painting you pointed out. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:41, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
