Edridge drawing
There is a copy of the sketch by Edridge which is mentioned in this article here. Copyright would have expired so it could be included if that would be helpful?&mdash; Rod talk 19:46, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I wondered about that when I added the reference this morning, but while the Tate terms allow creative commons sharing, they don't allow commercial use and IIRC wikimedia content has to allow commercial, though I might be wrong?? --Derek Andrews (talk) 01:50, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * If Edridge dies in the 1820s it must be more than 75 years after his death. Therefore under US law for wikipedia servers I believe it is OK. See for example File:West Front of Wells Cathedral c.1795.jpg which I uploaded recently from the same source.&mdash; Rod talk 07:18, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm still not convinced. The west front image, under Licencsing says 'This applies to U.S. works where the copyright has expired', and the Metadata says 'Copyright holder (c) Board of Trustees of the National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside / Photo (c) Tate'. Also on the Tate website if you click on 'License this image' the image shown says 'digital image copyright Tate'. While the original may be out of copyright, a digital image of it made by someone else may not be. --Derek Andrews (talk) 10:43, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * OK I don't think it is vital for this article. If you do want to find out more try Image use policy which says " In the U.S., copyright has expired on any work published anywhere before January 1, 1923." which applies to this picture. I have found the village pump/copyright section on commons very helpful in the past when I have been unsure.&mdash; Rod talk 20:05, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
