Cloud Gate
Hi, thanks for adding a photo to the cloud gate article. Unfortunately however, we are unable to use this photograph. Cloud Gate is a copyrighted sculpture and as such photographs of it are considered Derivative works. This means that, whilst it is OK for you to take a photo of the sculpture and to use it for personal use, commercial publication of the photograph would require the permission of the copyright holder. Wikipedia requires that all content be available for commercial use--the exception being in the case where freely licensed images of the subject of an article are unavailable in which case the use of a minimal number of low resolution photographs is allowed under our fair use policy. Given that the cloud gate article already has two photographs for which fair use is being claimed, further low resolution photographs should only be added if the illustrate something in the text of the article that is not already illustrated. Thanks, —Jeremy (talk) 02:01, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
