Replaceable fair use Image:Lindiwe Masibuko MP.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Lindiwe Masibuko MP.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly (Parrot) 16:45, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Re:Deletion of image of Dianne Kohler Barnard MP

An image is only considered "free to use" if it is released under a free license or is in the public domain. This is neither, and so is non-free, and its use must meet our non-free content criteria. As Polly has noted above, these images are replaceable- what's to stop someone taking an image and releasing it under a free license? Therefore, they cannot be used. J Milburn (talk) 19:09, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

If he or she genuinely is the author. Such use would probably require permission sent to OTRS, so that it could be verified. J Milburn (talk) 20:15, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Mulaudzi8! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 4 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 54 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Suhla Masango - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Shahid Esau - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
3. Marta Wenger - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
4. Stevens Mokgalapa - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Orphaned non-free image File:Democratic Alliance (South Africa) logo 2008.png

Thanks for uploading File:Democratic Alliance (South Africa) logo 2008.png.

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Proposed deletion of Emmah More

The article Emmah More has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.
