License tagging for File:Marco-donnarumma NYC2014.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Marco-donnarumma NYC2014.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 14:31, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Marco-donnarumma NYC2014.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Marco-donnarumma NYC2014.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:

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.
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. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:52, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Marchjuly: Thanks for the comment. Apologies for incorrectly stating my motivations on the use of the picture in question. Still learning :)

Following your suggestion, I reached out to the picture's author who has now added a CC-BY-SA 4.0 license to the picture. I have now re-uploaded the picture and have indicated the license and the related details. The new picture lives here [[1]] Hope this is fine now. Thanks.

That looks fine on the surface, but generally it is the photographer who holds the copyright on photos they take and not the subjects of the photos themselves. So, unless Donnarumma can clearly show he is the owner of the copyright and not just the physical photo itself, I think that OTRS verifiction is going to need to be provided as explained in c:COM:OTRS#If you are NOT the copyright holder. You should ask about this at c:COM:OTRSN or c:COM:VP/C; otherwise, the file could be tagged for deletion from Commons per c:COM:PCP. -- Marchjuly (talk) 16:32, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
