Replaceable fair use File:Idit Harel Caperton, 2010.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Idit Harel Caperton, 2010.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Super Mario Man 01:37, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Idit Harel Caperton

Thanks for your message. Technically, there is nothing to stop you removing the tags if you think that they no longer apply – just know that, if others disagree, they may well be restored. You can use the talk page (which, incidentally, hasn't been updated for quite a while) to state your reasons for removal and discuss the matter with other users.

I will say that, having scanned the article, I believe that the second tag is justified, as a sizeable amount of text is unsourced (e.g., in "Academic Career & Publishing": "Idit was instrumental in figuring out the role and meaning of computational technology for learning, education, and society, and in 1985, Idit and her colleagues at MIT built the first model school of the future, where every student had a PC, worked on creative programming projects, and constructed knowledge through a project-based learning and social interaction." – strong claims require strong sourcing). However, I see substantial numbers of potential references in Google, and several in Google News, so I am inclined to doubt that noteworthiness is a concern.

You may want to re-visit the references that are currently being used, as several of them seem to be by Ms Harel Caperton herself (and are therefore primary sources – for notability to be firmly established, secondary sources are needed). Additionally, the tone of the article is quite promotional in places (see the example sentence above), and the text should be re-worded to refer to the subject as "Harel Caperton" rather than by her first name (see WP:SURNAME).

File permission problem with File:Globaloria students working.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Globaloria students working.jpg, which you've attributed to http://www.flickr.com/photos/globaloria/5836865841/in/set-72157626846117385. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 15:42, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File Permission Fixed (Update): I have now provided evidence at the site of original publication of the file that the image is governed by the free license (CC BY-SA 2.0) and thus permitted for reuse. I have added the following to the image description page to verify this: {{CopyrightedFreeUseProvided}}

Content of at least one revision of the associated article was derived in whole or part from non-free copyrighted material on the website http://www.flickr.com/photos/globaloria/5836865841/in/set-72157626846117385. This material was (prior to placement or subsequently) freely licensed in a manner compatible for Wikipedia's use by the posting of one or more compatible copyright licenses on the external website. Though the release notice for the material, which is irrevocable, may have been later removed from view, or the URL may have changed or gone dead, an archive of that webpage, including the copyright release notice, is available at http://www.webcitation.org/6KmR1bXOq.

Orphaned non-free image File:Globaloria logo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Globaloria logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:24, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
