Fair use rationale for Image:AdriaanFokker.jpg[edit]

Image:AdriaanFokker.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Additional citations[edit]

Replaceable non-free image[edit]

The non-free image File:AdriaanFokker.jpg can and should be replaced by one or more free alternatives. There is a free image of Adriaan Fokker available. Also a still can be taken from this free video showing the Fokker organ. – Editør (talk) 11:37, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why?

> There is a free image of Adriaan Fokker available.

This image sucks.

Are you volunteering? beefman (talk) 23:48, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why? Because of non-free content criterion #1 that says "Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose." – Editør (talk) 08:27, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The image you propose patently doesn't serve the same encyclopedic purpose. Moreover, you're engaged in drive-by editing. beefman (talk) 00:01, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
