:I remain unconvinced that there is any time limit on placing the attribution. FoP has a definition in China, and these example photos are of objects that eventually will be identified. Deleting the image virtually guarantees this will never happen. Perhaps a better answer is to have a clearer disclaimer on the licence so that any re-user understands their obligation to make effort to credit the artist?

:I'm not desperate to keep these photos, so will not be devastated if they go, I would just like to see a pragmatic approach to interpreting the more unusual FoP requirement for China. Thanks --[[User:Fæ|Fæ]] ([[User talk:Fæ|talk]]) 09:51, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

::There's no "allowable time" to host a copyvio - it's like all other copyright, if you aren't compliant, you're violating the copyright laws. There is already a digitally photographed copy of the statue, and now copies of that on two media hosts. We are already reusing the statue! We tend to give some (usually 7 days) grace to fix up errors, but that has been well exceeded for these images. The Chinese law doesn't say "you should ask around and hope that eventually one of your friends comes up with the correct attribution". --[[User:99of9|99of9]] ([[User talk:99of9|talk]]) 11:14, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
