[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Sarah chalke.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Sarah chalke.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image 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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Quentin X 18:54, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sarah Chalke picture

Hi, thanks for the message, sorry it's taken a couple of days to get back to you. The basic answer is, if there is a photo on the internet of her then it is copyright of somebody and, therefore, not free for Wikipedia unless authorisation is given either by the picture taker or Sarah Chalke herself. The image itself is good enough for Eliot Reid as it cannot be replaced by another image. If you wish to look for an example of how this works I suggest you look at Martin Sheen and Jed Bartlett. Hope this answers the question. (Quentin X 17:36, 22 August 2007 (UTC))
