Non-free historic image license tag

Hello, I'm a little bit confused with this license tag for when it is valid and when it is not? The only thing I understand that it is not suitable for the Commons, but when it is valid in Wikipedia? There are some photos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1948_Swallow_downwind.jpg or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chrisye_in_1977.jpg uploaded with the rationale of "Identification of singer during his early career" or "The image is used to show the Gold medal winner of the 1948 Olympic Sailing at Torbay, a subject of public interest. The significance of the picture is to help the reader grab the atmosphere of the event in a way that words alone could not convey". I'm currently heavily and almost completely reworking the Lithuania national basketball team article and the historic pictures of the awarding ceremonies would be really useful in it. Though, I'm unable to find any free pictures of some moments and consider using a few copyrighted pictures with this license tag. I already tried uploading some of such pictures in the past and all of them were deleted. Could you please explain me when this tag is valid? The documentation of it is kind of difficult to understand. Could I use, for example, these pictures:

  • In EuroBasket 2003 section (not expanded it yet): http://www.fibaeurope.com/files/%7B0DFB9A41-0EAD-4461-A54C-7BC7E5407D81%7Dlarge_h.jpg or http://www.fibaeurope.com/files/%7BB7121D46-306B-4DA7-9114-2A4B83AA2702%7Dlarge_h.jpg or another one extracted from book which shows the meeting of the team (Lithuania won the competition that year and these pictures shows the Lithuania national team players after the successful final game)
  • Pictures taken after the EuroBasket 2007 bronze medals game can be found there: http://www.uch.lt/2007/09/17/eurobasket.html and would improve that section greatly.
  • I also consider extracting the unsuccessful Šarūnas Jasikevičius shot when the clock was running down as picture from the video recording of the 2000 Summer Olympics semi-final versus the United States national team. At some point the close-up view is shown and after it, Jasikevičius' upset is displayed (he rests one of the advertising boards and drops his head down). If his shot would have been accurate, Lithuania would have advanced into the Olympic final for the first time.
  • It is also possible to extract some photos from books with the awarding ceremonies in 1992 Olympic Games and 2000 Olympic Games.
  • There also is no illustration from the EuroBasket 2013 awarding ceremony where Lithuanians became the European vice-champions. Could this picture be used: http://www.sekunde.lt/media/2013/09/LT.jpg ?

A week?

110.13.152.73 (talk · contribs) after some of the most tenacious vandalism and socking too.

Why don't you give them a barnstar and make them editor of the week too? 8-( Andy Dingley (talk) 23:02, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Huh? I have no idea about the specifics of that IP, I was pinged on IRC for an emergency block, and the previous block was 72h, so I went up to the next duration which is 1 week, and went back to what I was doing. I can look into it more if you'd like me to extend it, but you can give them the barnstar yourself. Legoktm (talk) 23:45, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

GA bot ignores me

I haven't received talk page notifs about my last three GANs (God's Choice (nom), Windosill (nom), Vainglory (video game) (nom)). Any idea what's up? Likely something to do with my signature, I imagine. Thanks for maintaining your bots—they're really helpful. czar  20:34, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
