Hi, I'm afraid we can't use this image, because its CC-BY-NC-ND license means it is not free content. Sorry for the following lengthy form letter; I'll leave it here in case the links in it are useful. --Avenue (talk) 14:18, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

In certain limited cases, we may be able to use an image under a claim of fair use - if you are certain that fair use would apply here, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list. If no fair use rationale applies, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Media copyright questions. Thank you. Avenue (talk) 14:04, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

No worries (am still remembering how to do this :) - if I ask the webmaster at the Mana Party site - if they'd consider changing their cc, and they did would we be free to use it? cognito ego sum (talk) 07:15, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:HoneHarawiraLeaderManaParty200px.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:HoneHarawiraLeaderManaParty200px.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
