Non-free images
I sorry but I reverted your edit to List of major perpetrators of the Holocaust because the images you added are non-free and do not comply with our non-free content policy. Don't be disheartened by the revert of your first edit because you did not know our rules, but non-free images, i.e., images that are still in copyright, may not just be put wherever one likes unless they comply with all 10 of the guideline of the non-free policy. One of the places that non-free images may not be used is in list article like List of major perpetrators of the Holocaust per WP:NFLISTS in fact generally non-free image of people may only be used in their biographies. Our policy for image use is stricter than general fair-use as understood in the real world. While the English Wikipedia is rather generous with the use of non-free images, though you may not think so by these rules, some of the other language wikis don't allow any non-free image use at all, but we do. However the principle of a free encyclopaedia also means that the content is free, i.e., not copyright; hence the strict rules. I will be happy to help you with any image issues you have but for a better a understanding of image use you will find it useful to read my image copyright information page for editors like you. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 23:41, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
