The result was to delete the image. — ξxplicit 00:45, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 | This orphaned talk page, subpage, image page, or similar is not eligible for speedy deletion under CSD G8 as it has been asserted to be useful to Wikipedia. If you believe it should be deleted, please nominate it on Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion. |
This item is un-replaceable as there are no other fair use/copyright free photos of Vicky Beeching that are available. She has also given her expressed permission for the photo to be used - an email of the permission have been send to wikipedia and this permission was accepted!
Please can you tell me what I can do to make sure this file satisfies Wikipedia's photo use policy as the subject on the wikipedia article, Vicky Beeching, actually wants this file used on the page!
Thanks.
- Part of Wikipedia's mission to create a free encyclopedia which can be reused by others. Because of that goal images which are licensed for use only on Wikipedia or for educational use or similar are treated the same as other pieces of non-free content, because we would prefer to use images with fewer restrictions.
- Now, when viewed as non-free this image seems to fail part of our policy regarding it's use. In particular even though there may not be a free alternative at the moment, there appears to be no reason why a new freely-licensed photograph could not be taken of her.
- In order for this image to remain, it needs to be released under a free license (such as the Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0 license, which may be viewed at https://www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0). You can see the allowable licenses at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Free licenses. You can follow the same process as before with the email permission (even replying to the same message if you'd like), except for choosing a different license.
