Thanks for uploading Image:Sebastien Bassong.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. dave pape (talk) 18:55, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
- On Wikipedia, a general infobox picture of a living person such as this must be free content - that is, the photo must be public domain or released under a license such as CC-BY-SA; see also Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Most images on the web are unfortunately not freely licensed; meta:Free image resources lists various places to search, probably the main one to check in this case would be flickr, in the CC-BY or CC-BY-SA sections. If no freely-licensed photo is currently available, then the next step is to take one yourself, or find another wikimedian who would have an opportunity to do so. --dave pape (talk) 21:37, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
