Welcome!

Hello, Orinshriver, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Brianda and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

License tagging for File:Sibrina Collins Portrait.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Sibrina Collins Portrait.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

Orphaned non-free image File:Sibrina Collins Portrait.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Sibrina Collins Portrait.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:48, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Sibrina Collins Portrait.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Sibrina Collins Portrait.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under the non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:48, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Uploading and using non-free content

You might want to ask you Wiki Ed advisor Brianda (Wiki Ed) for help with your file uploads, but there's really no way for Wikipedia to keep the images of Sibrina Collins you uploaded as non-free content. All non-free content needs to satisfy Wikipedia's non-free content use policy, which means it needs to meet all ten of the non-free content use criteria listed here. Moreover, non-free images of living people are, in principle, pretty much never considered to satisfy non-free content use criterion #1 because it's almost always deemed reasonable to expect that a free equivalent image capable of serving essentially the same encyclopedic purpose as any non-free one can either be found or created by someone, somewhere at some point; so, even if you were able to find an article where to use these files and then add non-free use rationales for their respective use to each file's page, it's almost a given they they would still end up being deleted per Wikipedia speedy deletion criterion F7.

FWIW, whether the draft you're working on about Collins is ultimately accepted as an article doesn't depend on whether there's an image of her in it; so, you probably should focus on the text of the draft and making sure Collins clearly meets Wikipedia:Notability (people) and then worry about adding images later on. You could try contacting Collins, Wayne University, or whoever are the copyright holders of the images you uploaded and asking for WP:PERMISSION; however, you're going to need to get the copyright holder of any image of Collins you want to try to upload to give their explicit and verifiable WP:CONSENT for pretty much any image of Collins to be OK to upload and use on Wikipedia. I'm sure Wiki Ed has a module or some other materials related to image licensing that student like yourself reference and Brianda will most likely tell you where to find them if you're not sure. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:08, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

@Marchjuly, I communicated with the student about this. I am not sure why they continued to add the same images. Apologies for this. I will follow up with them, again. Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:22, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
