"Areal View" Picture

I removed the following image from the page:

This is a picture of the village of Épagny, See here, apparently taken from the Gruyere castle, not of the village of Gruyere itself. Smerdis (talk) 16:39, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removed this image, moved to talk in case anyone wants it to stay:

You replaced a color image with nondescript monochrome closeups with less-desirable licenses? That's going backwards. There's nothing wrong with including all the images in any case, we don't have a rule restricting the number. Stan 05:29, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

My impression from the image upload page was that all wikipedia contributions are GNU FDL, regardless of any additional license offered by the creator

"By uploading a file to which you hold the copyright, you agree to licence it under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License."

OK, I see what you were getting at (didn't realize that "Oliver White" and "Ojw" were supposed to be the same person :-) ). Still a good idea to add the "GFDL" tag too, makes the situation completely clear - the two licensing boxes one on top of the other will tell everybody that this is a dual-licensed image.

Regarding "the museum has been turned into an HRG gallery" edit, I seem to recall there's a lot of art in there in addition to HR Giger's, and I'd certainly be interested to know who else is on display (if nothing else, my sister wants some posters of one of the abstract artists!)

From memory, there's:

H R Giger sculptures
An abstract detailed painter, whose pictures are playing with conceptions of "which surface is which" verging on Escher-style optical illusions, e.g. the town apparently built on the underside of a rocky arch.
A photographer, working with modified images (maybe photographs blended with photorealistic painting?), backlit transparencies and on display in one of the spiral staircases
An anti-war sculptor and painter, and I don't think this was HRG. There were some fairly blunt and gruesome studies of the effects of war on display in a ground-floor room near the entrance
Displays which presumably came from the old castle, e.g. some impressive carpets and tapestries hanging in one of the upper rooms

Can anyone confirm the artists' names for some of these other displays at Gruyere castle? Ojw 22:39, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
