Orphaned non-free media (File:WTHR Official Logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:WTHR Official Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:36, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:WTHR anchors 2012.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:WTHR anchors 2012.jpg. 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. SchuminWeb (Talk) 04:43, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:WTHR anchors 2012.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:WTHR anchors 2012.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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. SchuminWeb (Talk) 04:43, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

WTHR Anchors photo
Hi Wmillswthr. I noticed you tried to add the new photo of WTHR anchors back to the article. Unfortunately an Admin flagged it for deletion and it no longer exists. I still get confused on all the strict photo policies and I've been writing/editing articles here for years. Sometimes it makes my head do a "Linda Blair" lol. ANYHOO what you might try is to use a different photo, one you took yourself, and then upload it as a free use image and one you've taken yourself rather than the more complicated "fair use" rationale. Maybe that will be allowed. I was thinking that a photo or two of the building as seen from the street, awards on the lobby wall (or wherever they're kept) might be a nice addition to the article. I sort of have a personal interest in WTHR having a nice Wiki since I have a family member who has been a staffer there for many years. Hope I've been a help. Feel free to message me anytime.

 * The above poster is correct. If you use a photo that you have taken yourself (such as at a public appearance) and upload it to Commons as a free image, that will be fine.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 19:20, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Reply: I work for WTHR and the image I uploaded came from the WTHR art department for the specific use of placing on a Wikipedia page regarding WTHR. However no matter what I do someone keeps removing the images. I don't have time to keep uploading the same image that WTHR has approved for Wikipedia use. Therefore I will stop updating the Wikipedia WTHR page and will let it go out of date. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.248.251.140 (talk) 13:05, 16 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey, All I did was made separate files for each logo, because I think it looks better that way. I don't think there is a reason why they should be altogether, and I don't see why they can't be separate. I'm not sure why other users have removed it in the past, but this was my only time. Thanks!
