The Wikipedia-Facebook Connection

edit

I recently added a photograph to the Eddie Jobson article < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Jobson > - the one being used was dated (1973), so I uploaded a more recent image. However, when I go to this Facebook page < https://www.facebook.com/pages/Eddie-Jobson/106063129425520# > that links to this Wikipedia article, the old photograph still shows up. How do I change this photo also? I've not been able to locate any information on this … I assumed that the FB-Wiki page would update as a result of the Wiki article being changed. Thanks much!

Wikipedia cannot directly control Facebook content. Personally I'd expect that Facebook simply doesn't update the content they scrounged from Wikipedia all that often and that they'll change the image in due time, but if they don't, there's nothing Wikipedia can do about that. Alternatively, Facebook may prefer not to use the non-free image, and given that freely licensed images are available, there's a pretty strong case to be made that Wikipedia shouldn't use a non-free image either.

Replaceable fair use File:Eddie Jobson, 2013.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Eddie Jobson, 2013.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. SKATER T a l k 22:42, 28 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
