File:Coat of arms of the Western Cape.svg

Hi! I was wondering why the file File:Coat of arms of the Western Cape.svg cannot be used for a politics template table Template:Politics of Western Cape? The symbol is strictly used for articles relevant to the topic at hand. Please let me know how what the issue is and how to rectify it. @JJMC89:Suffy69 (talk) 17:37, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Did you ready the policy linked in the edit summary? — JJMC89 18:17, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

@JJMC89: So it needs to be added to individually to each article where the template is used with rational written into the file's page? Suffy69 (talk) 18:26, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) Non-free content is only allowed to be used in the article namespace per WP:NFCC#9; so, you cannot add the file to Template:Politics of Western Cape. If you would, however, like to add the file to individual articles, you may but you you need to add a separate, specific non-free use rationale for each of these individual uses to the file's page. Not all non-free uses are the same though, and simply providing a rationale for a use doesn't automatically make a non-free use policy compliant. There are ten specific criteria that need to be met and simply wanting the reader to see an non-free image is usually not enough of a justification. You have to self-assess as to whether seeing the image significantly improves the reader's understanding of corresponding article content to the degree that not seeing that image would be detrimental to that understanding. I'm not sure how you would like to use the image, but if you just want to added to articles where the template is also being used, then it seems as if there would be know way to justify such a non-free use per WP:NFCCP. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:10, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Why

Why do you revert the nimi stix article to draft:Nimi Stix 444metaphor (talk) 04:20, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

I didn't. CactusWriter moved it. — JJMC89 02:24, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

bot is repeatedly removing flags from infobox despite 5+ reverts Matestoic (talk) 13:46, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

No. It is against policy to use File:Logo of Lebanese Forces.png there. — JJMC89 19:46, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Queen of the South FC Club Crest

I have attempted to upload the new Queen of the South club crest with the "A Lore Burne" logo, although it has appeared under the summary and is too large. Could you substitute this for me to the correct size like the one on the Queen of the South FC page? Rusty1111 : Talk 09:24, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) Hi Rusty1111. There's a couple of problems with what you tried to do. First, you uploaded the logo to Wikimedia Commons claiming it's your "own work". Unless you actually designed the logo yourself and retain copyright over it or are the owner of Queen of the South F.C., you cannot claim the logo as your own work. Downloading a logo file from somewhere online and then re-uploading it to Wikimedia Commons doesn't make you the copyright owner of the logo and you can't claim ownership over something you don't own. For more on this, please take a look at c:COM:Own work. The next problem is that you uploaded the file under a {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0}}, but there's nothing on club's official website which shows that its logo or any of the content appearing on that website has been released as such, so Wikimedia Commons is unable to accept the file under such a license. For more on this please take a look at c:COM:NETCOPYVIO. Based upon what you posted above, it appears that the club's logo has changed. If that's the case, the best way to update the logo would be to go to File:Logo of Queen of the South FC.svg and in the file history section click on "Upload a new version of this file". This will open a new page where you can upload the latest version of the file. There are instructions at the top of the page on how to do this, but you shouldn't really need to do anything other than select the source file you want to upload and then explain why you're uploading the new version in the "File changes" field. The software should take care of everything else. One last thing and this is kind of important. The version you uploaded to Commons is in jpg file format, whereas the one currently uploaded to Wikipedia is in svg format. Trying to update a svg file with a jpg file is not really a good thing (it might not even be technically possible); so, you should try and find an svg version of the new logo and upload that. If you're not sure how to do that, try making a request at WP:FFU; just explain what you want to do and perhaps someone will be able to update the logo for you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 14:51, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

RE:Non-free rationale

I don't remember where I got the image for "Daydreaming/Choose Me" from. Nowhere on the internet seems to have an image for it that is that exact size. I did find a couple smaller images. If I replace it with a smaller image and use that as the source will that work? yawaraey (talk) 03:25, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @Yawaraey: This appears to have been resolved by another editor named Salavat with this edit. Salavat also did something similar for some other album covers you uploaded. The "problem" was that you seem to have been trying to use the template {{Non-free media data}} as a non-free use rationale for the files you uploaded, but that particular template is not really intended for that type of thing. The "Non-free media data" template just is a way to provide some general information about the provenance of whatever you uploaded, but it needs to be used together with the template {{Non-free media rationale}} as explained in Template:Non-free media data#Usage. You can find out more information about non-free use rationales at WP:FUR, but for future reference generally the template {{Non-free use rationale album cover}} is much easier to use for album or single cover art. Just make sure you also an appropriate non-free copyright license as well. -- Marchjuly (talk) 15:13, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

B.C. Highway 3 shield used on {Module:Road data/strings/CAN/BC:}

Hey, I noticed that reversed my edit on http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Module:Road_data/strings/CAN/BC was reversed by you. The shield is used on the route and is more identifiable and well known to the general public than the generic/old standard '3'. I'm aware that the Crowsnest Shield is under copyright in Canada, and perhaps that might have something to do with the reversal. This is the file I replaced the 'old' one with http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/File:British_Columbia_Highway_3.svg. Thank you. Allthecows (talk) 19:28, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

(talk page watcher)@Allthecows: Non-free content can only be used (i.e. displayed) in the article namespace per non-free content use criterion #9. Most likely the bot removed the file for that reason alone and there's really no way around that. -- Marchjuly (talk) 14:55, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Makes sense, thanks! Allthecows (talk) 18:14, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
