Replaceable fair use File:Meghana Raj strikes a pose.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Meghana Raj strikes a pose.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:07, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Issue with the uploaded photo
Dear Admin team,

I got the notification that the file I uploaded yesterday "Meghana Raj strikes a pose.JPG" does not adhere to you certain guidelines which to be honest is not very clear to me. As I said in the description for the file, I received this file from actress Meghana Raj (who by the way is a friend of mine) via email. So I thought it was legal to use the file as the profile picture for her page 'Meghana Raj'. She also agreed for using the file for her Wikipedia page.

So could you please explain me what I have to do for keeping the picture in the page. Thank you.

 * Wikipedia aims to be a repository of free content. For that reason, our policy is that we won't use an image unless it is legally free for use not just by us, but also by others who might want to re-use our content. If the owner gave you a license of this kind, allowing free re-use in any venue and for any purpose, such as the standardized cc-by-sa license, then please place that tag on the image page and forward the owner's agreement statement to our license registry at "permissions-en (at) wikimedia.org". If it's only a permission "for Wikipedia", I'm afraid we won't be able to use it. The way you originally tagged the image, as a non-free file, we can't use it either, because we can make exceptions for non-free images only in cases where an image is irreplaceable by its own nature, which is hardly ever the case for a portrait photograph of a living person.
