[edit] Image:Bowls d windsor.jpg is licensed as non-commercial use

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:Bowls d windsor.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, this is in fact not the case[1][2]. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. See our non-free content guidelines for more more information.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-3.0}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. Kelvinc (talk) 04:49, 13 December 2007 (UTC)


The image license template (which implies commercial use permitted) does not match what you wrote above it. Unfortunately, Wikipedia does not accept non-commercial use only images, as a policy position and because it is not compatible with the fundamental GFDL used for Wikipedia text. If you are concerned that your image may be used for commercial purposes, perhaps you can upload a smaller resolution version, which would be less useful, although I think generally Wikipedians would like to see more high-quality free content.  :-) Kelvinc (talk) 04:49, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Wow it appears that an admin has deleted the image already. I didn't expect it to be that fast, though I suppose that's why it's called WP:SPEEDY. If you were going to change the license I guess you'll have to re-upload. Sorry about that. Kelvinc (talk) 05:02, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
