March 2022

Your edit to New Zealand flag debate has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Misplaced Pages without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Misplaced Pages. For legal reasons, Misplaced Pages cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Misplaced Pages takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Misplaced Pages:Copying text from other sources for more information. Please see the original revert for the complete explanation. BilCat (talk) 01:02, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

@BilCat It is unclear if your stated reason to remove is relevant or not. According to the documentation of File:Fire the Lazer.svg, It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of such symbols on the English-language Misplaced Pages, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as non-free use under the Copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Misplaced Pages or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Misplaced Pages:Non-free content.

Can you check on this? Regards Thinker78 (talk) 18:43, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

@Thespoondragon: Thinker78 (talk) 18:44, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

@Thinker78: When it comes to questionable copyrighted material, I err on the side of caution, as copyrights involve complicated and contentious legal issues. In this case, it did not and currently does not have a Non-free use rationale for the New Zealand flag debate article, and so it was rightly removed. Then and now, the flag file only has a Non-free use rationale for the Laser Kiwi flag article. That is the only article it can be used on without a specific Non-free use rationale for another specific article, per WP:NFC#Implementation. Hope that helps.
