Clicking the Image
Err. Clicking that image (like it says) does nothing whatsoever... :S

 * It will take you to the image page and scroll down to read "If you are seeing this image." User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 18:31, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * How about a redirect like Image:Replace this image1.svg ? --Geniac 13:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I am not sure for right now. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 15:04, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

It says "the following image" but there is no "following image" as far as I can tell. — The Storm Surfer 07:47, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The following image is supposed to stand for the image that is removed. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 07:51, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * But does the removed image somehow follow this image? — The Storm Surfer 08:12, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Typo
The "In" shouldn't be capitalized. -- Tewy  17:40, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Very, uh, authoritative...
"If a non-free image has been replaced with this image, it means the use of that image was not appropriate. Do not re-add the removed image, you will be reverted and possibly blocked."

No, it doesn't. It means that the user doing the replacing believes that the use was not appropriate. They are not necessarily correct - we're all humans, after all. The description should, at the very least, link to something on how to dispute the action properly (rather than a revert war and threats of banning). — ceejayoz talk 02:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Wrong
I believe that this image contradicts Wikipedia policy. The policy is to use fair-use (non-free) images where there is no free alternative, not to remove any and all non-free content just because it is non-free. Omegatron's page has more information on this problem. Ian01 19:46, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I wasn't the one who named the image, but I hope the text on the image and the text below it should clarify why the image is here. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 07:06, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

So...
...if you add a missing or vandalicly removed fair use rationale and restore the image, you'll be "reverted and possibly blocked" ?! 68.39.174.238 02:35, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * No. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 04:07, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Forget the image...
Forget the image and let's focus on the subjet matter.

1. Forbes reference link does not or no longer exist...why? 2. No other reliable references are available, each reference uses the other as a reference, and hence the circle of deception is complete 3. A lot of the mentioned information in the article is incorrect, yet, no one has bothered to edit it as of yet

Double negative
The sentence which explains the policy of non-free images disallowed outside of article space contains a double negative ("doesn't not"). Spicy 19:25, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * And I used too many colons. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 01:48, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Wikilink in Image
No offense but it seems pretty stupid to have a wiki-link in the image text. (...Our Policy at WP:NFCC...) Peachey88 (Talk Page 08:09, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I included it because of two reasons; if the image is displayed in full, they can just type in the shortcut and I been asked before to include that wikilink. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 08:13, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Large Talk:something/temp articles are a pain in the colon
"If you are writing a draft article that will have fair use images in it once it reaches the article space, you can simply add a colon to it."

Which likely breaks the layout of the article, even when the layout of the article is under discussion. So if I'm prototyping an article about a non-free work of authorship such as a video game, which almost by necessity must include a non-free illustration, does this mean I can just make a copy of the image and paste a diagram of the large intestine over it to mark the image as temporary, making it suitable for the Talk:*/temp namespace? --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 15:16, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You could use a placeholder image too. For talk pages, just use the colon method that was written about. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 18:39, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Use in articles
When this image is used in an article, such as in Template:Zamboanga_del_Sur, the meaning of the icon is not immediately clear: It just looks like a gray copyright symbol with a bunch of lines running across it.

I think this icon would be easier to understand at small sizes if it had a warning triangle on it, such as on my quick draft here. Perhaps some form of this modification would be a good for this placeholder? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nandhp (talk • contribs) 17:29, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll upload your version now. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 23:58, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Please
Could you please remove the "Thank you"? This is nothing to be thankful about! 58.168.147.119 (talk) 10:01, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * As I understand it, it's short for "Thank you [for your time in reading this and for assuming good faith]." --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 14:39, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

"warning" triangle
Could the triangle be replaced with Image:Nuvola apps important.svg or something similar in quality (if you care to keep this public domain instead of GPL). -- Thin boy  00  @160, i.e. 02:51, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * With the scaling, I think the shading on the icon will make it just a hard to notice. I was specifically asked to use the current icon. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 04:21, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Request
editprotected If you found the above image on a page, it is because a non-free image has been replaced by this image. For legal reasons and with respect to our goal to be a free content encyclopedia, Wikipedia only allows the use of non-free images in a select few cases. If a non-free image has been replaced with this image, it means the use of that image was not appropriate. Do not re-add the removed image, you will be reverted and possibly blocked. For more information on the limited cases where non-free images may be used in Wikipedia, see Non-free content.

Same text, only with link to blocking policy. Vivio Testa rossa Talk Who 13:20, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * done. &mdash; Carl (CBM · talk) 14:07, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedia image placeholders
Since this is an image placeholder, please place on the bottom of the image page. Thanks. GregManninLB (talk) 14:10, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * ✅ Done. The current description of that category doesn't fit exactly with this image, but close enough. --David Göthberg (talk) 01:03, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Wordiness
The text of this image is massively wordy in redundant ways. Wordiness discourages attention (and reduces the size of the text which may be used). May I suggest shortening it to: ''An automated process has removed an image from here. Most likely, it violated the policy WP:NFCC which prohibits "fair use" images from being used outside of articles. To avoid further removals, follow the suggestions on this image's page. Thank you.'' --Nat Gertler (talk) 22:08, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Found this image for an *audio* media that had been removed
There something incoherent, this sound has been removed and the message talks about an image. See Village pump (technical) Nicolas1981 (talk) 02:51, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The wording needs to be changed to state "image or audio file". Also, the "Image:" namespace is now "File:", so that should be changed as not all files uploaded to Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Commons are images. Instructing someone to change Image:Sample of song.ogg  to  :Image:Sample of song.ogg  just doesn't look right. --  Lightsup55   ( T | C ) 04:09, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

The "following" image?
As far as I can tell, no image follows other than the image itself. This ought to be reworded to clarify the referent. Skomorokh 15:18, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Warning symbol
I tried to do this myself, but the page was locked, so I uploaded my version at File:NonFreeImageRemoved2.svg. Basically, i figure the Nuvola icon looks better than the generic warning sign. Requesting the version at File:NonFreeImageRemoved2.svg be uploaded as a new version of this image. Mnmazur (talk)
 * The Nuvola icons are not public domain, hence your new file is not public domain. --- RockMFR 07:31, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * According to the desciption on commons, it's free. So I don't think I understand the issue here. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:28, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Please could you fix the copyright licence on File:NonFreeImageRemoved2.svg and then replace the editprotected. Thanks, &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:53, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Bad grammar
'to be used outside of articles' is bad grammar - the 'of' is redundant. It doesn't create a very good impression if an official Wikipedia statement uses decidedly non-encyclopedic, colloquial language. (Besides, the previous sentence reads 'used outside an article' so it isn't even internally consistent, bad grammar or no!) 81.159.89.70 (talk) 16:14, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

who cares?
'''It's a picture. How does it hurt putting it in a page. The only people who care about copyrights is most of Wikipedia.''' Joseph507357 00:50, 26 August 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joseph507357 (talk • contribs)
