  • ... that artwork at the Jackson Avenue station depicts images from six Latin American stories? Source: MTA art
    • ALT1:... that the Jackson Avenue station, listed on the National Register of Historic Places as one of the first subway stations in New York City, has two Queen Anne style station houses? Source: NRHP pp. 5, 7, 8
    • ALT2:... that after a token booth at the Jackson Avenue station burned down, plans to rebuild it were abandoned, as it would require an estimated 570 entries per day for the booth's cost to break even? Source: Memo

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

QPQ: Done.
Overall: Good to go, just see to the two minor issues mentioned above. You may want to get a second opinion, as this is my first DYK review. PinkPanda272 (talk/contribs) 17:33, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright status[edit]

@Epicgenius: (and @The Rambling Man: who looked at the GA review recently) has anyone considered the copyright status of File:Jackson Av art vc.jpg, which is used in the article? I always forget exactly what's allowed and what isn't, but as a photograph of a piece of artwork, which is presumably itself under copyright, shouldn't this be prohibited for use in the article? Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 13:48, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You'll be talking about Freedom of panorama which differs from country to country. I'm no expert but I think you're probably right that specifically in the United States this may be an infringement of copyright. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 13:57, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@The Rambling Man and Amakuru: Yeah this seems like a pretty clear copyright violation. I've removed it from the page. epicgenius (talk) 14:01, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Also, I don't think the "freedom of panorama" thing applies to renditions of 2D images, assuming that this artwork is actually 2D. I can't just go to my local art gallery and take a picture of a copyrighted artwork for use on Commons, can I? Even though taking a picture of architecture or a sculpture would be allowed in the UK.  — Amakuru (talk) 14:06, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Amakuru, this is a 2D work (glass panels) so it should be fully copyrighted. epicgenius (talk) 14:11, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Amakuru then how did it get passed to us from Flickr and validated for use? It should be deleted. Perhaps there's an endemic issue here that needs more attention. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 14:21, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
