Replaceable fair use File:Author and scholar Dr. Kenneth Womack.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Author and scholar Dr. Kenneth Womack.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

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. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.

 * Hello, I noticed your comment about the photo mentioned above. The image was deleted because it was uploaded with a non-free license, and the image violated the first point of the non-free content criteria as replaceable fair use. If the copyright holder would like to donate the image, you will need to follow the steps outlined at WP:CONSENT. However, please note that it is generally the photographer who owns the copyright of the photo, not the subject in the photo. ℯ  xplicit  23:49, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
