Non-free / fair use media rationale for Władysław Sikorski
Description	This image shows the state funeral of Sikorski, a historically significant photograph. The copyright for it is most likely held by the person who took the image or the agency employing the person.
Source	The image has been derived from: http://www.fpp.co.uk/History/Sikorski/Times040703.html
Article	Władysław Sikorski
Portion used	Because the image is historically significant, the entire image is needed to identify the subject, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Purpose of use	Identification and critical commentary in the Władysław Sikorski article, a subject of public interest. The image confirms to readers they have reached the correct article, and illustrates the intended branding message.
Replaceable?	Because the image depicts a non-reproducible historic event, there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.
Other information	Use of the historic image in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopaedic.
