Replaceable fair use File:Portion of mural Tragic Prelude, by John Steuart Curry, Kansas Capitol, Topeka.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:Portion of mural Tragic Prelude, by John Steuart Curry, Kansas Capitol, Topeka.jpeg. 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. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:02, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Slavery as a trope, as a rhetorical device equating tyranny
You've done such good work on American history topics, for instance greatly expanding the free-produce movement article I started, that I thought of you recently with regard to the word slavery used as a trope. The question came up at Talk:Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania where I was defending some text I had added about John Dickinson being a slaveowner and yet spouting rhetoric about America becoming slaves to the British, which was pointed out as irony by one recent observer. Drmies suggested on that talk page that I create the article Slavery as a trope. What do you think about an article on that topic? I was thinking if it truly covered all the bases it would be very large, containing African and Chinese references from centuries ago, stuff I have no awareness of or interest in. Or perhaps the trope could only cover the American colonies complaining about British taxation, etc. Binksternet (talk) 03:38, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Write what you know. Forget about the Africans and Chinese. I don't have any opinion beyond that, sorry. deisenbe (talk) 09:15, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks! See you 'round. Binksternet (talk) 23:20, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Empty sections
Hi Deisenbe, could I ask you to please not add empty sections with the "expand section" template, like you did here: ? There are a few problems with it. First, very short sections should be avoided per MOS:BODY, as they clutter the article; an empty section does so without providing any information to the reader. Second, template:expand section is not to be used for empty sections. Last, but not least, there is a certain blocked sockmaster who has added empty "history - expand" sections in hundreds of articles (which is the reason I found your edit) and there has been a strong consensus among dozens of editors that adding such empty sections is not a benefit to the project. New content can be added when available, and a section heading created as appropriate to the content. Thanks for your understanding... --IamNotU (talk) 17:29, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

List of lynching victims in the United States
I just wanted to compliment you on this article, because I know you had doubts about it for a while. You started it, it became seemingly unmanageable for awhile, but it is now working its way into a more and more useful collection of information. Thanks for this and all your other efforts to make Wikipedia better! Jacona (talk) 12:50, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
