Yes, these should all work nicely, thank you! I'll insert them in the list tomorrow. Some of these sculptures are truly mysterious, for a couple of them it took 2–3 people at the reference desk to help me find a single snippet of information (in a different language) to cite...!

Why not include fair-use images?

Why not include fair-use images instead of the external images? Gazozlu (talk) 20:17, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sculptures objects have more complex copyright details than paintings/drawings etc. as they are subject to freedom of panorama guidelines. Some images are also just copyrighted to begin with. I mainly went off ones which were available on the commons, and uploaded a few (as did Ham). This list burned me out too much to be exhaustive with which ones really needed the ext image link though.

Santander Statue

I added a statue from Santander, Spain.

Not sure which source is more appropiate to reference:

- https://www.turismodeobservacion.com/foto/monumento-a-beethoven/45527/ (i used this one, but not sure if its best)

- https://turismo.santander.es/sites/default/files/inline-files/parque-jesus-monasterio.pdf

Also:

Can this picture be added as external image to Naruto, Tokushima, Japan (1997)? It's from the source. I suppose it's allowed. Gor1995 (talk) 15:02, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
