Non-free image use

edit

Hi Mosherdude91. The licensing of each media file you see used on Wikipedia is determined by it copyright status and not every file you see on Wikipedia is licensed the same. Some files are licensed as public domain or licensed under a free licensed suitable for Wikipedia and these are often collectively referred to as "free images". Other files are licensed as non-free content because of their copyright status and these files are commonly referred to as "non-free". Non-free content use on Wikipedia is highly restricted and each use of such files must satisfy Wikipedia's non-free image use policy. One of these restrictions is WP:NFCC#9, which says that non-free content can only be used in the article namespace. For this reason and as explained in WP:UP#Non-free files, non-free content such as File:BBFC 18.svg, File:BBFC PG.svg, File:BBFC R18.svg and File:BBFC 12.svg cannot be used (i.e., displayed) in User:Mosherdude91/sandbox. Perhaps you did not see the edit sum explaining why I previously removed the files; so, I'm posting this here to provide more explanation. If you have any questions about this feel free to ask them here, at WP:MCQ or at WT:NFC, but please don't re-add these files to that page again.

Finally, in case what you're working on is something that you plan to add to an existing articles, you should be aware that the way you are using those BBFC files in that table is pretty never going to be considered acceptable per WP:NFCC#3a, so even adding such a table to an existing article will lead to those files being removed. I suggest trying to find an alternative way to prevent the same information without using the image files. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:36, 25 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi Marchjuly. Thanks for the edit, and apologies for my unawareness of these specific guidelines, I shall adhere more closely to them in future. It was not my intention to deliberately re-insert the files against your advice - I was actually unaware that you had made this edit. I didn't realise that users could actually edit each other's sandboxes - I had presumed it was a private space to practice and draft articles, not a public one - and therefore I presumed I had made a mistake, and that's why the article wasn't showing the files I had inserted. I will not insert them again.
My intention with this sandbox draft is to ultimately create its own article named List of works rejected by the BBFC. Having read the already existing article List of films banned in the United Kingdom, it seems to be a non-specific, editorialised list with no consistent guidelines for inclusion (as opined by some users in its talk page). As a more experienced editor, would you tend to agree? I appreciate all constructive feedback. -- Mosherdude91 (talk) 19:32, 25 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
Not sure about the value of the list article and don't have a strong opinion either way. Perhaps you should ask about this at some of the WikiProjects whose scope this article and whose scope British Board of Film Classification fall under. Sometimes concerns such as yours are been discussed before and a consensus was established, but the WikiProject people should have a better feel for this type of thing. You could also try discussing things on the article's talk page just in case others are watching the page. Maybe there are some who feel the same as you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:48, 26 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
