Replaceable fair use Image:T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh Leading Lady Headshot Small.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh Leading Lady Headshot Small.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 our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? BlueAzure (talk) 23:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: Image:T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh Leading Lady Headshot Small.jpg
Hi. Regarding Image:T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh Leading Lady Headshot Small.jpg, which you deleted (and Until(1 == 2) deleted previously - see User talk:Until(1 == 2)/Archive 11#Image:T.27Keyah_Crystal_Keym.C3.A1h_Leading_Lady_Headshot_Small.jpg and User talk:BlueAzure#Image:T.27Keyah_Crystal_Keym.C3.A1h_Leading_Lady_Headshot_Small.jpg for details), I thought I had justified the fair use of this image. This is a crop of the subject's one and only "Leading Lady Headshot". Please reconsider your deletion decision, or at least get me a copy of any changes since I created User:Jeff G./Fair use sandbox#Image:T.27Keyah_Crystal_Keym.C3.A1h_Leading_Lady_Headshot_Small.jpg in preparation for uploading that image. Thanks!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 04:10, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Fair use images of living people are never allowed unless you can justify why a freely licensed version can't be found or created. T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh is still alive and probably in the public eye pretty often, so it's quite reasonable for someone to take a photo of her and release it under a free license.

No other photo would fit that description.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 03:23, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Bell System hires 1964 logo.PNG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Bell System hires 1964 logo.PNG. 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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BJBot (talk) 05:05, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the notices. I prefer the SVG versions, too.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 23:24, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
