== Removal of portrait of William Chappell dancer ==

I obtained permission to use a portrait if William Chappell (on page [[William Chappell (dancer)]] but it has since been deleted. It fits the criteria for non-free content - this I added under the caption. Where did I go wrong? and how do I correct this ?

Later -  reposted with complete rationale -- deleted again -- but why -- I need some help here to understand what has gone wrong -- given I have been supplied the picture by its owner for use on this wikipedia page.. thanks  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Coejonathan|Coejonathan]] ([[User talk:Coejonathan#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Coejonathan|contribs]]) 17:14, 15 March 2026 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:@[[User:Coejonathan|Coejonathan]] I converted the non-free rationale into a template, {{t|Non-free use rationale}}, which the bot checks for. It shouldn't be removed now.

:::{{ping|Coejonathan}} You aren't required to use templates for a [[:WP:FUR|non-free rationale]], but doing so can make things a bit easier. The main problem with the rationale you intially provided was that it didn't contain a link to specific article where the file was intended to be used: you just wrote "Use is limited to this page". The bot had no way of figuring out what "this page" meant; so, it treated the use in [[:William Chappell (dancer)]] as a violation of [[:WP:NFCC#10|non-free content use criterion #10c]]. Technically speaking, that bot isn't checking to see whether a non-free use rationale template is being used, but rather whether there's a specific link to the article where the file is being used in the non-free use rationale that has been provided. Non-template rationales are perfectly OK per [[:WP:FUR#Non-template]]. -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 02:36, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
