Picture in article has been deleted

File:Fariba-iran-evin1.jpg in the article has been deleted and should be removed or replaced. Mattisse (talk) 19:43, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

• I'll see what can I do. It is most likely that if I can recover the picture, it will need a fair use rationale (the most common deletion reason at Commons), would you please prepare one? Thank you. Diego Grez ^{return fire} 20:33, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
  • I uploaded the picture locally, please add a fair use rationale on its description page. Diego Grez ^{return fire} 21:12, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

(edit conflict)

• All I can do is offer advice from Wikipedia, although I think the policy is WMF and not specific to Wikipedia:

• Non-free use rationale guideline
• Non-free use rationals for images
• Use rationale examples
• Template:Non-free image rationale
• Dispatches: Reviewing non-free images

You need a link to the image on the Commons and the description there. (I couldn't find it on the Commons) IMHO, there is not a Fair use rationale for that photo, unless wikinews has different policies. Best to find a Public domain photo. Mattisse (talk) 22:09, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

I haven't looked into this specific image, but there's no way we'll ever replace one image with another. That would be editing history. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 22:13, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Well, he just uploaded another image and replaced the deleted image in the article. So history has been edited. Mattisse (talk) 22:18, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

I asked for the image to be restored momentarily in Commons, and reuploaded it here. It is the picture that was on the article. --Diego Grez ^{return fire} 22:22, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

If I read correctly, Diego retrieved the image from Commons. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 22:22, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Why is there not a link to the Commons description? I hunted for the image on the Commons using its current name and could not find it. A link to the Commons file is needed. Also, he requests a completed Fair use rationale template (above), so he needs to provide the information for the rationale. He indicates that the image was deleted from the Commons for lack of a Fair use rationale. At least, that is my understanding of what he is saying. Mattisse (talk) 22:29, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

┌─────────────────────────────────┘
Quoting my previous edit summary, "how stupid", you are just making things harder. Read this carefully, okay? The image was deleted on Commons because it was a copyright violation. You asked for the image to be removed [from the article], that can't be done AFAIK, so I proposed to request the image to be restored at Commons momentarily in order to transfer it to here, and YOU would add a fair use rationale, since the picture is not free, and subsequently needs it. Everything that follows what I said, is completely moot and stupid. Said that, I recuse myself from responding you anymore. KTHX. Diego Grez ^{return fire} 22:37, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Image had already been removed and was a red link - an image was uploaded today so that it no longer shows up as a red link

The red link was restored because an image was uploaded to wikinews today with the same name as the deleted image. See File:Fariba-iran-evin1.jpg uploaded on April 3, 2011. However the uploaded image contains a fair use warning:

This work is copyrighted. The individual who uploaded this work and first used it in an article, and subsequent persons who place it into articles assert that this qualifies as fair use of the material under United States copyright law. This template must be accompanied by a source, information on the copyright owner, and a fair-use rationale for every use, as described in our policies regarding non-free media. Media which does not contain this information may be deleted.

It has apparently been deleted from the Commons because it lacks a Fair use rationale. The uploader requested that I provide a Fair use rationale (see above) which I cannot do. Perhaps wikinews does not follow the WMF rules regarding Fair use? Mattisse (talk) 23:21, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
