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


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

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:52, 21 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Hello, about your objections: the argument that "it is not known whether it is copyrighted" won't help much, because every image is assumed to be copyrighted by default. The only way it would not be copyrighted is if its owner had explicitly declared it to be public domain, which we cannot assume to be the case unless we know exactly how and where they did it. And the argument that there aren't many other pictures also doesn't help: any living person, and much more so a living person whose job it is to appear in public regularly, can be photographed, so non-free images of such persons are always deemed replaceable. The question is not whether free images already exist, but whether some could be created. Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:27, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Emmiemorethanthis98.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Emmiemorethanthis98.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:29, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Emmiemorethanthis.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Emmiemorethanthis.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 05:43, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
