Ana Ularu image

Thanks for the image for Ana Ularu, but we need to get the copyright owner to release it under a free license. Wikipedia:Non-free content explains that, specifically the sentence "Non-free content should not be used when a freely licensed file that serves the same purpose can reasonably be expected to be uploaded, as is the case for almost all portraits of living people." You write the photographer agreed to have the image used on Wikipedia - can you have the photographer write to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org and say "I am Marc Rissmann, I own the copyright to the image currently at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ana_Ularu_actress_romanian_photographed_2020.jpg and I release it under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"? I see that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Marc_Rissmann.jpg was released by Ana Ularu (!) the same way. If you can write the same person who responded to that email it might be faster. If not, we'll need to return to the File:Ana Ularu on HotNews Romania.jpg because it is freely licensed. Thank you! --GRuban (talk) 15:07, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Copied back from https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Ana_Ularu_on_HotNews_Romania.jpg

No offense, but ... if you are Ana Ularu, then you really shouldn't be editing the page about you. It's not "your page", it's not your resume, or your Facebook, or your Linked-In, or your Instagram, there are plenty of pages on the Internet that can be yours. It's the page about you, and it's supposed to be unbiased. Readers won't be able to trust that it's telling them the truth if you wrote it. I hope you can understand why that is: would you trust that an article about a politician, or a company, or a business executive were telling you the entire unvarnished truth if they or someone working for them wrote it? Surely not. The same, I'm afraid, is true for actors, and pretty much everyone actually. The policy about that is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Autobiography.

I'm going to copy this back to your EN talk page, because it's important, even more important than one image. If you can't license that image you tried to replace it with, now that I know you don't like this particular image from the HotNews Romania interview, I can try to grab a different one that you might like better, but I can't do anything about the Autobiography policy.

Thank you for your contribution and your understanding. --GRuban (talk) 15:29, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Ana Ularu actress romanian photographed 2020.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Ana Ularu actress romanian photographed 2020.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:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
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. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:22, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
