Replaceable fair use File:Kris Delmhorst by Shervin Lainez.jpg
Hello Peripitus, can you help me? I do not know if I am correcting this photo information properly, but I have tried to follow your instructions. I took a stab - let me know if I missed updating information somewhere and I will happily comply.

I also forwarded permission received from the photographer to the email provided: permissions-en@wikimedia.org

Regarding "no free equivalent" that is definitely true. Kris Delmhorst does not permit photographs be taken of her unless by an official photographer. This photograph is one that she offers in her press kit, with permission by the photographer, for anyone to use. The photographer also sent it to me with permission to make it available on Wikipedia. It is offered specifically for anyone to be able to take and use alongside articles, profiles, or other information about Kris Delmhorst - out of a desire to make a photographic representation of her available to the public. There is no free equivalent because Kris does not permit other photos of her to be taken or used.

With that in mind, have I used the correct classification?

Thanks for uploading File:Kris Delmhorst by Shervin Lainez.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).

'''Hopefully my explanation satisfies why I can't create new media myself or replace it with something else. -mc'''
