Non-commercial licenses

FYI, Wikipedia only uses images that permit commercial reuse. Please see Wikipedia:IUP#Free_licenses. The reason is that even though Wikipedia itself is non-commercial, there are "downstream" uses of Wikipedia content that are commercial. For example, you can go to Special:Book and order a book of Wikipedia content (I don't know why you would, but the point is, it's commercial). I realize it's very confusing, but the bottom line is that in order for Wikipedia to accept an image under a "free" license, the copyright holder must explicitly permit commercial reuse and derivative works. If the flickr image in question would be useful for an article, you may want to contact the author and ask if they would be willing to change their license terms. Also, please consider uploading flickr images to Wikimedia Commons. They have an automatic review process that allows the license for Flickr images to be confirmed either by a bot or an admin so that if the flickr account is subsequently deleted, we have a record of what the license used to be. If you just upload it to Wikipedia and the flickr user changes their license, we have no choice but to delete the image. --B (talk) 14:44, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Problems with upload of File:Model of a cross section of a banana with Banana Xanthomonas Wilt.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Model of a cross section of a banana with Banana Xanthomonas Wilt.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
