[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Ewagele.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ewagele.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

[edit] Re: Appeal deleted jpg

You can look up an image in the deletion log to see what happened to it. This one was not deleted for lacking copyright info as such, but rater because it was a non-free image lacking a proper use rationale (see warning above here). Additionaly I believe it fails item #1 of the Wikipedia:Non-free content policy, since it would be possible for someone to take a free licensed photo of her. --Sherool (talk) 08:54, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Could you please point me to information on creating a free license photo? Sorry, so much information, so little time. JoyceD 23:10, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Someone (not nessesarily you) simply has to take a photo of her that they own the copyright to (one that is not a scan or copy of an existing photo), and then release that image under a suitable free license by uploading it with the apropriate license choince. You could for example give Wikipedia:Photo Matching Service a try. Alternatively you can try contacting someone you know already have photos of her and request that they release one under a free license (see linked page for details). --Sherool (talk) 10:13, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
