Non-free image use

edit

Hi LaCroizy. The licensing of each media file you see used on Wikipedia is determined by it copyright status and not every file you see on Wikipedia is licensed the same. Some files are licensed as public domain or licensed under a free licensed suitable for Wikipedia and these are often collectively referred to as "free images". Other files are licensed as non-free content because of their copyright status and these files are commonly referred to as "non-free". Non-free content use on Wikipedia is highly restricted and each use of such files must satisfy Wikipedia's non-free image use policy. One of these restrictions is WP:NFCC#9, which says that non-free content can only be used in the article namespace. For this reason and as explained in WP:DRAFTS#Preparing drafts, non-free content such as File:Pottersville album cover.jpg cannot be used in Draft:Pottersville (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack). I left an edit sum explaining why I removed the non-free file from the draft, but you subsequently re-added it. So, I'm posting this here to provide more explanation. If you have any questions about this feel free to ask them here, at WP:MCQ or at WT:NFC, but please don't re-add the file to the draft again. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:47, 4 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Pottersville album cover.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Pottersville album cover.jpg. 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) 18:42, 6 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
