Replaceable fair use File:DiploPress2015-0059.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:DiploPress2015-0059.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 12:51, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Non-free content

Hi,

I've reverted (again) your addition of a non-free image in the A-Trak article. Per Wikipedia non-free content policy, non-free content may not be used when a free alternative is available. Please do not add the image again as it is contrary to policy. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 20:41, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi,

I am confused on why I can't use this photo if it was given to me by A-Trak himself. Can I use a different image from his website or another website and just cite them?

No you cannot unless the images are free images. Free images carry a free license which allows creation of derivative works, and commercial use of the image. The image you uploaded, regardless of the fact that A-trak gave it to you, is not free and cannot be used as free images of him do exist. I told you above not to add the image back but you did so anyways. I'm not going to revert you as the image will be deleted. -- Whpq (talk) 23:07, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Actually can you please revert it so at least there is an image for his wiki page? sorry for the all the confusion, but I didn't see your messages until today and thought it was just a glitch that was switching the image back to the old one. I'm new to this and don't really understand the wiki language or how the website works. Where do I find a free image? If I just google an image of him can I use that?

You can only use an image if it is under a free license. Most images you find from googling do not have a free license. Note that the image in the info box of the article before you changed it is a freely licensed photo. --Whpq (talk) 01:48, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Diplo image.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Diplo image.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 19:17, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
