Non-free content use

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload files. However, it appears that one or more of the files you have uploaded or added to a page, specifically User:G. Finknottle, may fail our non-free policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted file of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:51, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi G. Finknottle. Files licensed as non-free content like File:Richard Garnett as Gussie Fink-Nottle.jpg are subject to Wikipedia's non-free content use policy and this policy is quite restrictive. There are ten non-free content use criteria which need to be satisfied each time a non-free file is used anywhere on Wikipedia. One of these criteria in non-free content use criterion #9 which basically says that non-free files can only be used in article; this means, as explained in Wikipedia:User pages#Non-free files, that non-free files cannot be added to a user page. You can, however, add a link to a non-free file like I did above, but you cannot display it. It's OK if you didn't understand this, but please don't re-add this particular file or add any other non-free files to your user page again. If you want to add images to your user page, then take a look at Wikimedia Commons since those images can be used on user pages. If you've got any questions about this feel free to ask them below. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:07, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
