Talk:Palazzo Caprara, Bologna

I have no personal grudge against Paolo Monti, and no objections to his photographs, but my concern about attributing photography by name in the article is that it is not part of the encyclopedic process. It adds no information to Palazzo Caprara. I have no objection to the photography being labeled in wikimedia commons as a photo by Paolo Monti, or including Paolo Monti's name in the title. I might even accept moving the date at which the photo was taken and the author to a footnote, but if the addition of photographer's or editor's names to the text of articles becomes a pattern, then wikipedia articles will become onerously overwrought with people claiming the real-estate of authorship. Wikipedia entries should be, in general, just the facts. I will foward this to the editor that keeps on adding the name, and maybe we will need some arbitration regarding the policy.--Rococo1700 (talk) 17:01, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
