File talk:Khalifa International Stadium.jpg

Non-free fair use

As stated in the rationale, there is no reasonable free equivalent due to Qatar's freedom of panorama copyright laws, and that it is important that readers of the article have a visual context of what it is they are even reading about, which is something text alone cannot fundamentally achieve. — AFC Vixen 🦊 (talk) 04:53, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

But the copyrighted photograph you uploaded could still be replaced by a freely licensed photograph. It'll still display copyrighted material, but the photograph itself would be free. Adeletron 3030 (talk • edits) 15:16, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Yet such photographs will be deleted from Commons nonetheless, which nominators consistently citing Qatar's freedom of panorama laws as the reason as to why such photographs are non-free. — AFC Vixen 🦊 (talk) 18:16, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Right. So you upload a free photo here (like File:Khalifa Intl. Stadium.jpg, for example), add a "don't copy to Commons" template and a fair use rationale. Adeletron 3030 (talk • edits) 18:33, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Oh. I did not realise it was actually that easy. Nobody in this entire crapshow of a debacle has ever explicitly explained how to do it right like this; it has always been a never-ending revolving door of people just telling each other they are doing things wrong, so I appreciate this advice. I will find an alternative image from Commons before they get deleted and upload it as a new version of this file. — AFC Vixen 🦊 (talk) 19:21, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
