Editing Eurovision Wiki:Media copyright questions (section)

== File: Becoming Led Zeppelin poster.jpg ==

This file of a 2025 film poster was uploaded as Fair Use and used on the page [[Becoming Led Zeppelin]].  I included it on the page [[List of highest-grossing documentary films]], and it was immediately removed by JJMC89 bot. The reason given was: "Removed [[WP:NFCC]] violation(s). No valid [[Wikipedia:NFUR|non-free use rationale]] for this page. See [[WP:NFC#Implementation]]." It is unclear to me if the issue relates to the original licence designation, the rationale provided, or a broader copyright issue.  Would the use of [[Template:Non-free poster]] resolve it?  Could anyone advise on how to resolve this issue to reuse this image?  Many thanks! [[User:Limelightangel|Limelightangel]] ([[User talk:Limelightangel|talk]])  09:41, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
:{{ping|Limelightangel}} Non-free files are required to have two things: a [[:WP:ICT/FU|non-free copyright license]] and a separate, specific [[:WP:FUR|non-free content use rationale]] for each use. Pretty much in all cases, one copyright license is sufficient regardless of how many times a file is being used; however, since non-free use isn't automatic and each use is required to meet all [[:WP:NFCCP|ten non-free content use criteria]], a rationale needs to be provided for each use of the file (regardless if the uses are in the same article or in different articles). The bot that removed the file has been tasked with finding non-free files lacking rationales for each of their uses, and it removes the file from those articles lacking corresponding rationales per [[:WP:NFCCE]] and [[:WP:NFCC#10c]]. This is why the bot inlcuded a link to [[:WP:NFC#Implementation]] in the edit summary it left when it removed the file.{{pb}}When it comes to non-free movie posters like [[:File:Becoming Led Zeppelin poster.jpg]], it's generally OK for the file to be used for primary identificatio purposes at the top or in the main infobox of the stand-laone article about the movie the poster identifies; so, the use in ''[[:Becoming Led Zeppelin]]'' seems fine. It's much harder, though, to use the same poster in other articles because those types or non-free use are typically not considered policy compliant. Non-free use in list articles, in particular, is pretty much never allowed to illustrate an individual entry per [[:WP:NFLISTS]] because such use is almost always considered [[:WP:DECORATIVE]]. So, while adding a missing rationale for [[:List of highest-grossing documentary films]] should stop the bot from removing the file from the article again, the use still wouldn't be allowed by relevant Wikipedia policy; so, the file will most likely just end up being removed again by someone else. -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 13:02, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
