Photos

These photos are probably more artistic than useful, but if anyone wants to look through this set on Flickr, I have some photos of The Gardens at SIUE. They are all copyrighted, but I can change the license tag if anything looks useful. Illinois2011 (talk) 00:54, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I relabeled the one you posted to the article & added "Art For The Earth" to the "Features" section. Good shots of the Wind Forest & the Lantern would be especially nice. GWFrog (talk) 21:15, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have a few, but they're not especially great. I'm going to go on a photo spree this spring/summer when the weather is nice with my company's Canon EOS 7D. Also, I removed the seal and stylized wordmark. I don't think we can claim fair use for them on this page. At the very least, we'll have to go back and add fair use rationale to the descriptions for those images. I added the fair use rationale for the Cougar logo for Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Illinois2011 (talk) 02:11, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why would there be a problem with the seal and logo? The Gardens are a University facility/activity located in the heart of the campus. GWFrog (talk) 03:50, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There wouldn't necessarily, some people just get picky. Fair use images are supposed to be used as sparingly as possible. I'm just a little paranoid because this isn't the first time I uploaded those images (the wordmarks). I did it a few years ago and they got deleted because I didn't have all of the licensing right. For every article you use those images on, fair use rationale has to be added to the image description page. I see you added them to quite a few articles, so we have some work to do before someone gets all upset about it (and they will). Illinois2011 (talk) 03:57, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the long wordmark has different versions for each school that have the school's name underneath. I'm going to add those at some point when I get a chance, so we won't have to use the plain red one. Illinois2011 (talk) 03:58, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
