ok, thanks. I thought that I understood from your rules that an image which is labelled as "Fair Use" by the provider could be used on WP. But now, I know that material available under "Fair use" should be deleted form the platform. I take due note. Simboz (talk) 05:22, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Free use content may be used on the English Wikipedia under very strict guidelines known as the Non free content policy. -- LemonSlushie 🍋 (talk) (edits) 05:36, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, that's useful. Just a few thoughts on the way to present the approach to Fair Use in Wikipedia. After reading the page on the Wikepedia Non free content policy, de facto it means that items under Fair Use can NOT be uploaded in WP, except under exceptional circumstances (the ten contidions, applying cumulativelly). I am not sure that this is made clear enough on the other WP pages where Fair Use is mentionned. Simboz (talk) 14:57, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
