Category nominated for deletion on Commons

Please be aware that I have nominated the Commons category for this artwork for deletion (see here). This is because this was a TEMPORARY exhibit, and therefore not protected by freedom of panorama.

It will be fine to use some of these on Wikipedia, under a fair use claim. But editorial judgement is needed to pick the best ones for that.--Nilfanion (talk) 23:35, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

@Nilfanion: would you or someone who participated in the deletion discussion be able to decide which of the photos would be best used on Wikipedia, under a fair use claim? It will have to be someone who is able to view the images. Or would it be better to upload a suitable image under fair use from scratch, rather than picking one of the deleted images? Carcharoth (talk) 16:01, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

@Carcharoth: The current lead image looks fine (apart from needing {{fair use reduce}}). My preference would be for photos taken by Wikimedians, not Flickr users, and I'll review the deleted files for good ones of those. However, starting from scratch might be simpler.

Is there anything specific I should look for in the deleted files? What would add real value to the article in addition to the lead image?--Nilfanion (talk) 22:58, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

A close-up of one or several of the individual poppies would be nice if possible. W. P. Uzer (talk) 09:39, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

@Carcharoth and W. P. Uzer:: I've uploaded File:Tower of London poppies 29.JPG (taken by User:Jonathan Cardy) to en.wp. It should be possible to create a low-resolution crop that gives a close up and complies with WP:NFCC. Alternatively, this Flickr album has lots of high quality closeups - no need to restore the copy from Commons, a direct copy from Flickr will work.--Nilfanion (talk) 19:27, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

YW Jim Duncan

In the "Form" section, we say that the installation of the poppies was "overseen by Piper and YW Jim Duncan". What is YW? Are they his initials (in which case they should be spaced and have full stops)? Or is it some sort of title (youth worker?). I can't see a source for it. Can anyone clarify?

Got it! It's Yeoman Warder. I'll expand and link. GrindtXX (talk) 17:00, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
