Replaceable fair use File:John F. Germany Library, Present Day.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:John F. Germany Library, Present Day.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. Peripitus (Talk) 12:10, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for the guidance. I saw that you linked to an already uploaded picture of this building from another Wiki page. I replaced my image with that one, but I want to make sure I did it correctly. Do I need to contact the user that owns the image, or can these be used once they are uploaded on Wikipedia? Sorry for the questions, and I will attempt to figure it out as well.Elisquared (talk) 20:32, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
