Hello, AnthonyDHigginson. You have new messages at Pigsonthewing's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Hi, Anthony, I'm currently reviewing your article, and I'm probably going to pass it. I am doing so, however, in good faith that you will continue to improve the article, adding the requested citations where I've placed "citation needed" tags. Does that sound fair to you? Thanks for your hard work on creating this article. ~Adjwilley (talk) 01:34, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Photo of the knife display in the Nisbets London store.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Photo of the knife display in the Nisbets London store.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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. J Milburn (talk) 11:05, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Nisbets Photo Copyrights

[edit]

Hi there. If the copyright holder is not willing to release the images under a free license, then they may be used only if they meet the non-free content criteria. As far as I can see, all of these could be replaced by free content- there is nothing to stop a Wikipedian going to take their own picture, and then releasing it under a free license. As such, they fail non-free content criterion 1, and cannot be used. I appreciate that free content can sometimes represent a sacrifice of quality (though this is certainly not always the case) but as Wikipedia aims to be a free content encyclopedia, this has to be a sacrifice that we are willing to make.

Hey, that's great. You need to add the template for the appropriate free license to the image page, and remove the old one. You can find a collection of templates here. Also, add the template {{OTRS pending}} to the top of the image page. Then, you need to forward the email with the explicit permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org with a link to where you've uploaded the images. Provided the permission matches the license on the image, one of our OTRS team will do the rest. J Milburn (talk) 19:52, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
