Talk:Statue of St Christopher, Norton Priory

Rename
Nice article, but if you can't get a pic you should at least link prominently to one. Articles on art are little use without them. It needs a rename; at the moment it sounds like a church. Per WP:VAMOS disambiguation for locations of works of art should be in the form St Christopher (Norton Priory), but I think Statue of St Christopher (Norton Priory) would probably be better.

 * Thanks: title of article moved as you suggest. I couldn't agree more about an image. But, despite much effort, I haven't been able to find one that is copyright free.  When I visited the museum, I was allowed to photograph anything other than the statue; this is owned by National Museums Liverpool who will not allow photography in the special gallery.  Other than making a direct appeal to NML, can you advise any way round it (I must confess to my almost total ignorance about copyright and how to overcome the difficulties, such as this, it causes)?  Another problem is that one of the important links has died, following the splitting of Cheshire into two unitary authorities; most inconsiderate, and I'm not sure what to do about that either.

 * Oh well! One can always ask for a release of a low res version, or special permission to take a pic. Really that is in their own interest, one would think, as likely to attract more visitors. But they can be difficult - the British Museum won't release their own pics, but is becoming helpful in letting people take their own, even off display, but the V&A has released some. If you ever ask them, please mention Liudhard medalet as well! That's a GA with no pic. But I have added the NP website, which has a photo, to External links, with a note to point it out. There might also be old prints that would be some help. Johnbod (talk) 21:08, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
