Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Replaceable fair use File:StephenBennSocietyofBiology.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:StephenBennSocietyofBiology.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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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. Peripitus (Talk) 22:49, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Please do not delete Infobox philosopher templates as you did here and here. The parameters of this template are vital to the purposes of WikiProject Philosophy.

Help me!

[edit]

Please help me with...

Uploading a picture of an individual's coat of arms.

Most articles about members of various Noble or Royal families feature an illustration of that person's coat of arms. How, precisely, should I go about uploading a file for this purpose (the Fair Use forms only reference portraits of an individual, and coats of arms for organizations, so I am unsure which I should use.

Robin S. Taylor (talk) 17:34, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I rather doubt we could claim fair use for a coat of arms. The eighth criterion at WP:NFCC says: "Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding." I can't imagine that the presence of a coat of arms would significantly increase our understanding of the person in question, and if it's a modern coat of arms it doesn't serve as a primary means of visual identification, unlike both company logos and medieval coats of arms. Speaking of which, old coats of arms such as that of James II of England are in the public domain, which means we do not have to bother with fair use at all.
