Replaceable non-free use File:Screenshot-Twin Cities Metro eLibrary-MELSA, Libby app.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Screenshot-Twin Cities Metro eLibrary-MELSA, Libby app.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free 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 non-free 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 Misplaced Pages. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}}below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing<your reason>with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file's talk 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, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:44, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the pointing it out. I see it does not fit the definition. I have removed it from the Library article. However, I believe it does fits with non-free use by using in on the Libby Service page itself which does not have a screen shot to the software. I have added it there. If it still fails please let me know and I will do what I can to correct it if possible. Myotus (talk) 15:31, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
Photo galleries
Photo galleries are generally discouraged, per WP:IG. For readers using mobile devices, galleries make page loading a real chore. If photos cannot easily be placed into articles, just add a link to the Commons. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:01, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Photo galleries are not generally discouraged. As per their statement "Articles consisting entirely or primarily of galleries are discouraged" This is a guideline not a rule. It is a good guideline for many articles but it is a not a hard and fast rule. In the small town and small city articles I have added photo galleries they are but part of the article not the only or primarily content. You were correct in deleting the the gallery in Sabin, Minnesota as I forgot to add the captions for the photos.
