Replaceable non-free use File:KennyBelaeyRedBull.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:KennyBelaeyRedBull.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free 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 non-free 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 non-free 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, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 18:33, 2 May 2023 (UTC)


 * @Whpq Thank you for the heads up. I can look for a better image of the cyclist, etc. Hawkeyez1989 (talk) 20:05, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * It must be a freely licensed image. Note that the article already has a free image. -- Whpq (talk) 20:45, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Estelle M. H. Merrill
Hi Hawkeyez1989, I was happy to see that you read the Estelle M. H. Merrill article but was curious as to why you placed the Citations needed template at the top of that page. Each paragraph in Merrill's article has a citation. For someone born in 1858, it may be hard to find more than the 4 citations that are already there. I mention this as I've written thousands of biographies about people (men and women) born pre-20th-century, so I recognize how difficult it might be to find more information on a woman writer of that era. Anyway, just curious as to your reasoning. Thank you. --Rosiestep (talk) 02:11, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
