Welcome!

Hello, ZPotts, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Non-free rationale for File:Canadian radar lines.PNG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Canadian radar lines.PNG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:20, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ZPotts. Wikipedia's non-free content use policy requires that a separate and specific non-free use rationale which shows how the file's non-free use satisfies all 10 non-free content criteria listed in WP:NFCCP are satisfied. Files lacking such a rationale may be deleted per WP:F6. In particular, I think you're going to need to explain how this particular non-free image cannot be replaced by the freely licensed File:Dew line 1960.jpg and satisfies WP:NFCC#1 (see WP:FREER), and how this particular non-free use satisfies WP:NFCC#8 (see WP:NFC#Meeting the contextual significance criterion). -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:27, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Canadian radar lines.PNG

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Canadian radar lines.PNG. 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 section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:14, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
