Nice photo. I'm just wondering why if it's your own work you have uploaded it as fair use rather than licence it for global use under one of the Creative Commons licenses. If you wish to do this, the licence can easily be changed, just leave a note here on your talk page. NtheP (talk) 12:32, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Kiotari, a Pacific Harbor seal pup.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Kiotari, a Pacific Harbor seal pup.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:35, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
