== Re-VibhintaVerma.jpg image Problem == | |||

== Steve Hodges == | |||
Hello, | |||
Hi, Steve Hodges gave permission for his official photo to be used on Misplaced Pages the day before the election. He lost the special election for congress so I doubt that we will have a photo of him available again. The note that he gave his permission to use the photo was in the boxes under the photo and on the talk page. without the one picture of him, the special congressional election for MO_08 at Misplaced Pages looks very biased for the man elected. I admit that I have trouble trolling through the wp jargon and do not understand all the image permissions, but it seems that to keep the unbiased nature of wp and because he sent written permission, the photo of Steve Hodges for Congress 2013 should be returned to Misplaced Pages, but by somebody with a greater understanding of wp permissions...like you perhaps. thank you! | |||

Hi. I added a picture of many Thessaloniki landmarks but it was changed again. I think this high resolution picture that shows 6 Thessaloniki landmarks is much better than just the White Tower.

So sorry to upload in violation of F7. Doesn't ] Where it says '''"the subject of sourced commentary"''' in ''"...Non-free images or media from a commercial source (e.g., Associated Press, Getty), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary, are considered an invalid claim of fair use and fail the strict requirements of WP:NFCC; and may be deleted immediately...."'' doesn't that mean if the photo is the subject of the article then it's okay? I must be missing something obvious. Best, ] (]) 08:30, 6 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
:Hi, Anna! From what I can see, the issue here is that actually, the photo isn't the subject of the article, rather, the person shown in the photo is. The criterion you're referring to doesn't allow a non-free image if it shows the subject of sourced commentary, but only if it ''is itself'' the subject of the commentary. So for example, that image could only occur if there were something in the article talking about ''that specific photo'' of Heinrich Boere. (See ] for an example of a non-free image of a living person that can be used legitimately, as this picture itself is discussed in the article text.) I hope this helps! I'm not speaking for FutPerf, of course, only stating my own knowledge of policy. ] ] 09:22, 6 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
:: Thanks Heim for this explanation; that's basically the point I'd be making. When I wrote the questionnaire for the file upload script, I was trying really hard to explain this distinction between "the image itself" and "the thing or person shown in the image", but it's apparently still a point that escapes many uploaders. ] ] 09:33, 6 December 2013 (UTC) | |||

:::Being a little harsh on yourself, don't you think?
