 * Hi Amy, thanks for your reply. I just saw it. I have a question for you at Possibly_unfree_files/2015_June_12, when you have a moment – czar   06:54, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
 * And, by the way, have you heard of the Wiki Education Foundation? They might interested in your class's Wikipedia-related projects, and you might like some of their resources – czar   06:56, 29 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Since we haven't heard back, I've listed the rest of the set for deletion at Files for deletion/2015 August 6. If you are able to have the Trust confirm that they licensed the mural photos under the given license, we can always stop the deletion process or undelete them afterwards. – czar   18:24, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Good afternoon, Czar. I do not believe that these images break copyright laws. The children in the class that year went to the mural sites and photographed the murals themselves. Please advise. Amusone (talk) 18:51, 6 August 2015 (UTC)amusone
 * Depending on when the murals were first made, the copyright is automatically granted to the artist. If the artist did the murals as work for hire, another organization (perhaps the Trust?) owns the copyright. In any event, the mural copyright holder needs to grant permission as do the photographers. (Technically, your students own the copyright to the mural photographers but I'm not sure the license would be contested if it was part of a school Wikipedia assignment.) I've already emailed the trust to confirm and document their agreement to the cc-by-sa terms. – czar   19:27, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Czar. Thank you so much for looking into this. Am I understanding this correctly, if this was part of a school project (it was) that it would be okay to use? Look forward to hearing the outcome. Amusone (talk) 21:07, 6 August 2015 (UTC)amusone
 * It's less about the school project and more about who holds the copyrights. There are two copyrights in each of these images: the photographer's and the muralist's. We need permission from each of the creators to use the image under its current license (you uploaded the images with a cc-by-sa license). For the muralist copyright, we either need each individual muralist to give their permission, or if the Trust owns the rights from the artists, we'll need the Trust's permission (to license as cc-by-sa). The photographs are even trickier because the students individually hold the copyright to the photos they took. As minors, I'm not sure if they need parental consent to license the images or if it's just fine to say it was for a Wikipedia class project so its use under a Wikipedia-compatible license was assumed. Anyway, I know it looks like a lot of paperwork but it's done (ostensibly) to protect the rights of the creative workers (the muralists and your budding photographers). It might just be easier to have the Trust send us an email to license their own photos of their murals (if indeed they hold the mural copyright and not the artists who actually painted them). Did the students write the article's text too? – czar   21:49, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Oh, Czar. My gosh...this does sound really tricky. I will email someone from the York Heritage Trust to look into this. I hope you don't mind, but I am going to copy what you have written just to be sure I am accurate. I will share what I hear with you. As far as the photographers are concerned, their families volunteered to take them to the sites to take pictures for this project. They did write the article's text as well. 2601:98B:8000:893C:25E3:C3EB:FB9:E2D8 (talk) 20:14, 8 August 2015 (UTC)Amy
 * Sounds good. Let me know what/if you hear back and Godspeed – czar   21:15, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Any update? – czar   20:34, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
