Replaceable fair use File:MWC-Uniform-TCU.png
Thanks for uploading File:MWC-Uniform-TCU.png. 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. Stefan2 (talk) 23:34, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Licensing on File:ECM-Uniform-NYR.PNG
Hi Kevin,

We had a bit of a mess yesterday with this image, as another editor uploaded a newer version, after which it was deleted as replaceable-fair use because the current design of the Rangers uniforms have no copyrightable elements, yet we have assigned NFCC templates to it. I asked that editor to relicense their version CC-BY-SA, but since the original is yours, and they probably built theirs as a derivative of your image, I'm asking if you are likewise willing to offer your older version as CC-BY-SA. Thanks! Resolute 15:37, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, that image is not my work. My upload was an edit to a since-deleted version of that image (I was fixing the sleeve stripes on the road jersey) and I don't know who did the original version. -- Kevin W.  - Talk  17:09, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:MWC-Uniform-Air Force.png
 Thanks for uploading File:MWC-Uniform-Air Force.png. 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. Stefan2 (talk) 23:03, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
