Not fair use on the English Wikipedia[edit]

This image cannot be used on Wikipedia because the photograph could be replaced by one taken and freely licensed.

  • Objects still in existence could be found and photographed. (For example, cars, trains, planes, computers, gadgets, …)
  • Living people could be photographed. Celebrities attend concerts, lectures, movie premieres and book signings and could be photographed.
  • Remote locations can be photographed. Wikipedians live all over the globe. That we don’t have an image of a town or mountain now doesn’t mean we couldn’t if we tried.

If you feel that there are compelling reasons for using this image, please read WP:Fairuse#Policy and WP:Fairuse#Counterexamples and ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

To request a picture, post on Wikipedia:Requested pictures or commons:Commons:Picture requests.
