This is a proposal to clarify the use of logos/symbols as acceptable images and treat them with the same exception as celebrity photos (please ignore the cite error at the bottom):

Secondary photos explained
Secondary photo types Conditions of use
Celebrities, famous or notable persons (excludes images of ordinary people)


Logos & symbols

These are acceptable to illustrate the notability of the tag, even if the photo was taken elsewhere. This exception applies to images of celebrities, famous or notable persons only.


Company trademarks; emblems, official coat of arms & flags belonging to administrative localities, municipalities, provinces, counties & states (not countries); regimental distinctions/insignia of armed forces, specific emblems of rescue services etc.

Tag with no photos present Associated photos are allowed. An "associated photo" can be:
  • a famous person who had lived at a particular place or was involved in some notable event there
  • logos or symbols which can be found in more than one place but share a unique association with a place
Priority is given to primary (actual) photos of an object.

For legal reasons, you cannot use copyrighted images or photos taken by someone else, unless you have explicit permission to do so.

Tag containing place photos, free slots available
Tag containing place photos, no free slots Replacement should be considered on the basis of the quality of the photo and the depiction of the place in it should be of a higher priority[1]
Tag containing place photos and associated photos, no free slots
Only associated photos Nothing is to be removed if there's no better replacement
Products & items Unique products originating or sold from businesses e.g. restaurant dishes, clothes displayed by mannequins/models, product packaging etc. These must be unique to the object and not representative of objects commonly found elsewhere.
Maps It is acceptable to add cartographic (mapping) imagery in the form of satellite, aerial, topographical, historical, cadastral surveys & charts[2] etc. to illustrate an object and supplement its description.
Ordinary people (excludes images of celebrities, famous or notable persons) Workers photographed at the object performing their roles to describe the function of the object e.g. craftsmen/women showing a unique/rare skill, teachers & students in a classroom or assembly, tourists outside a popular point of interest etc.

Personal photos of an owner/resident and family members taken outside or inside their house.

Despite foreground obstacles, the object must be clearly visible in the background.
Foreground obstructions Objects which are an unavoidable part of the place.
