Same deal and same situation as with Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Wheel life 01.jpg: Author of the work photographed and photographer are obviously not identical and there is no indication that the original artist (painter of the picture that was photographed by Roelli) has given Roelli the permission to publish derivations of his work under GNU-FDL. --Melanom 05:48, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The picture shows one of the murals, which are painted on the wall of the Khang Tshan Temple in the Sera Monastery and dates back to 15/16th century. Thus it's probably a little bit difficult to get permission from the artists since they are dead for about 500 years. Maybe a seance could help, but until then Keep. -- Cecil 13:26, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • this is stupid. The author did release the image, I uploaded it as he stood next to me saying "do it". He just couldn't be bothered to create an account and do it himself. I mean, if I uploaded it claiming it was my own photograph, how would you have verified that? And how is the claim that the author personally gave me permission any different in terms of verifiability? This is just a holiday snapshot, and there is no way to prove who pressed the button now.
