You need permission of the sculptor as well as the photographer. See: Commons:Freedom of panorama and have Lee H. Letts send an email to Commons:OTRS. Make sure he includes all the file names so the OTRS volunteers can find them.--Canoe1967 (talk) 14:57, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lee Letts is the photographer, as well as the sculptor, and has given his permission. This is extremely annoying to have to do it again. Marion Simons (talk) 15:04, 22 June 2013 (UTC)Marion Simons[reply]

Can you have him send an email to OTRS? We need the permission of the photographer as well as the sculptor in some countries. The deletion reviews take 7 days minimum but can be extended if the OTRS takes longer.--Canoe1967 (talk) 15:10, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, yes, I will have Lee send another email. I appreciate your quick response. Marion Simons (talk) 15:13, 22 June 2013 (UTC)Marion Simons[reply]

You are very welcome. I started a project about this at: User:Canoe1967/Sculptors but it doesn't have much input so far. Lee may be our first real sculptor for it.--Canoe1967 (talk) 18:23, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We are excited Lee is finally on Wikipedia ––it is not an easy task! Thanks again for your help. 71.236.19.109 01:27, 23 June 2013 (UTC)Marion Simons[reply]

I see you have other uploads of his works as well. Make sure he lists all the file names for them with OTRS. Should I make a category for him and put it in Category:Sculptors from the United States?--Canoe1967 (talk) 04:21, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I believe we've done the permissions correctly for the other photos--I'm sure we'll find out if we didn't ;-) I am not sure about the 'Sculptors from the US' category––he is already in 'American Sculptors.' Is the category just for permissions, only in the OTRS? If you think it would help us add future photos, by all means go ahead. Many thanks again.

Categories all fixed now. The categories you created didn't match our system. I made Category:Lee H. Letts and put it in a few that do match. If you end up with Category:name in red that means the category doesn't exist. The blue ones do exist. Red new ones can be tricky and are usually done by those experienced to make them blue. If you contact OTRS again it may be easier to let them know the images are all in his own category now -->Category:Lee H. Letts--Canoe1967 (talk) 23:46, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! That is marvelous---thank you very much for your help. Marion Simons (talk) 00:52, 24 June 2013 (UTC)Marion Simons[reply]

You are very welcome. I also added an infobox to his article at the English Wikipedia and included a category link to here. If he has a website he is allowed to include that in his article as well.--Canoe1967 (talk) 01:03, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
