Wikipedia talk:Plain and simple non-free content guide

Very good

This is a very good summary of our NFC policies. We should use this to teach new editors about free and non-free content. My only suggestion would be to trim the beginning part of "Free" and "non-free" in order to make it quicker and easier to read for new users. 64.40.54.122 (talk) 11:23, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done, and thanks for the commentary. --N Y Kevin 00:13, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Republication of photos published without authorization of copyright holder, i.e., fair use v. invasion of privacy issues

Does Wiki have a policy for fair use of photos republished which were published without consent of the copyright holder? I haven't found any discussion of this on WP. There appears to be some dispute in the U.S. whether this is covered by fair use of a copyright, or whether the issue of invasion of privacy is a separate issue. For example, we might find that photos hacked from a celebrities private phone or email are news worthy, but either not a fair use for republishing, and/or an invasion of privacy. They could be separate legal issues. In any event, I submit that WP should exceed legal requirements, and not haggle about them.Doctor Franklin (talk) 18:53, 17 August 2015 (UTC) Doctor Franklin (talk) 19:01, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User:Doctor Franklin: See WP:NFCC#4. A leaked picture would not satisfy that criterion. --Stefan2 (talk) 18:10, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
