Good day, can I check if fair use files can be used in lists where their corresponding article(s) exists? See Talk:List_of_the_largest_Protestant_denominations#Emblems -- Min☠︎rax«¦ talk¦» 06:48, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
Template:Di-missing article links and Template:Di-missing some article links seem somewhat redundant. Are both of these necessary or can they be combined in some way. The "missing some article links" template seems to be intended to work with bots, but I don't think bots use it anymore. Most of the WP:NFCCE enforcement going on these days is done by JJMC89's JJMC89 bot. I have used both of these templates before in the past, but perhaps they're actually no longer needed because of JJMC89 bot. Anyway, if there's any value to keeping one or both, perhaps their documentation can be improved to better explain how they work and how they're to be used. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 06:03, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
Recently, I removed File:Oyster dress original.jpg from the Irere (Alexander McQueen collection) on the grounds that the image has its own article at Oyster dress. If someone wishes to see the dress, they can go to the article about the dress. To me, that's the essence of WP:NFC#UUI #6. I was reverted by @ Premeditated Chaos: (no judgment here PC, just noting who reverted) on the grounds that UUI #6 did not apply because the article Oyster dress is about the dress, and not about the image. To me, that seems to be dancing on a very thin fence. The point of UUI #6 is to reduce the overuse of non-free images. Saying we can use that image elsewhere because the main article about it isn't about the image but the subject of the image seems rather off base. I welcome other opinions. -- Hammersoft ( talk) 01:57, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
Is there any guidance in WP:NFC or maybe in WP:IUP regarding updating non-free logos that is similar to c:COM:OVERWRITE? If not, then maybe there should be. My understanding has always been that it's generally acceptable to use the "Upload a new version of this file" option on file pages when the changes are minor (coloring, re-sizing, straightening, etc), but it's preferred to upload major revisions or completely different versions as a new file. I'm asking about this because of the recent updating of File:Guinea-Bissau FF (logo).png. No information was provided regarding the source of the new version by the uploader, but it does look like the change was made based on the team's Facebook page. However, the "new" version looks essentially the same as File:Guinea-Bissau FA.png currently being used in Football Federation of Guinea-Bissau#Crest. It's not clear which logo might be the most recent and the older updated version is quite different from its replacement. Since the older orphaned non-free versions will end up deleted per F5 after five days either way, perhaps nothing is lost; however, it seems to me in cases where there is quite a bit of difference between two versions of the same logo, it would be better for them to be uploaded as separate files so that they can be more easily discussed and compared if necessary. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 00:40, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
Relative newb here, but I want to upload the Logo of the Tennessee State Parks. I have written the agency and have received a reply indicating that it is acceptable to load to wikipedia if I "use the trademark tag" (their words). Given the multiple ways to load and cite an image, I am at a bit of a loss to do this without getting myself or anyone else in trouble. Any help would be appreciated -- explain it to me like I am 10.
Hi XXX,
Thank you for reaching out about uploading the Tennessee State Parks logo to Wikipedia. You are free to upload the Tennessee State Parks logo if you provide the Trademark tag outlined in this article on the image file page:
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Take care, Dawginroswell ( talk) 18:16, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
File:Terry Nichols (mug shot).jpg was uploaded in 2004 and is being used for primary identification purposes in Terry Nichols; however, the file is from Alamy, which seems to be a problem per WP:F7 ( WP:NFCC#2). WP:NFCC seems to have been created after the file was uploaded,and the EDP didn't go into effect until 2007. What happens to files uploaded prior to the EDP? Are they grandfathered in a similar way to what is done at c:COM:GRANDFATHER with respect to VRT?
Another thing about this Nichols file is that a new colorized version of it was uploaded in 2020, but the file's description wasn't changed in any way. I can't see the original version.Is it the same version? Is the original source still valid for the colorized version? Should the original version be restored if its different than the colorized version?-- Marchjuly ( talk) 00:40, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Given that a non-free images of certain North Korean leaders were not considered to be NFCCP compliant for the longest time while they were still living, I'm wondering how non-free images of current Taliban government officials like File:Muhammad Yousuf Wafa.jpg should be treated per WP:FREER. I'm not sure you could argue that these people are any more reclusive or difficult to photograph that perhaps some other world leaders who might in some way be considered pariahs. Given that photos of them do seem to popping up in media reports every now and then doesn't seem to indicate that anyone approaching them with a camera ends up being shot in their tracks. If, for example, you do a Google Image search of Muhammad Yousuf Wafa, several different images of him seem to show up. Unless the argument here is that these persons are terrorists and thus near impossible to photograph, it's not totally clear (at least to me) whether non-free images of them are truly non-replaceable non-free use. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 06:55, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
