Warning

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you.

Read throught the bot instructions, if you want to still use it. --Kslotte (talk) 23:08, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:E-tripartite-pact.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:E-tripartite-pact.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 15:21, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

What's going on here? For some reason J Milburn wants to shake the status quo on non-free WW II photos. (See Talk:Battle of Berlin.) I think there should be some centralized discussion somewhere. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 16:56, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Not necessarily. J Milburn seems just to request the non-free rationale to be modified to comply with the non-free content policy. If the image in actuality depicts a unique historical event, and if this event has a direct relevance to the article's subject (for instance, the photo of the moment of signing of the pact is definitely necessary for the article about this pact), then the image should stay.

However, the possibility exists that similar free image exists, or that this concrete image is in actuality free. In connection to that, it is necessary Mosedschurte to do the following:

1. To try to found the source of this image. Probably the copyright in actuality had expired;
2. To look at Bundesarchiv. Probably, similar image can be found there, which is under share-alike license;
3. To look in the US archives. Probably, something can be found there, which is free.

These three things are necessary to do before we can speak that no free equivalent for this photo exist, and I believe that J Milburn's request is quite justified and correct.--Paul Siebert (talk) 18:41, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
