Image copyright problem with File:NewZealandFiftyDollarNote1.png
[edit]The image File:NewZealandFiftyDollarNote1.png is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check
- That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
- That this article is linked to from the image description page.
The following images also have this problem:
- File:NewZealandTwentyDollarNote2.png
- File:NewZealandTwentyDollarNote1.png
- File:NewZealandTenDollarNote2.png
- File:NewZealandTenDollarNote1.png
- File:NewZealandHundredDollarNote2.png
- File:NewZealandHundredDollarNote1.png
- File:NewZealandFiveDollarNote2.png

Over use of non-free images
[edit]At the end of March 2011, I raised an issue regarding the heavy use of non-free images on numismatics articles at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Numismatics#Usage_of_non-free_images. Three weeks later, there's been no response. My intention is to remove much of the non-free content of coins/notes from this article for violating WP:NFCC #3a, requirement for minimal use, and WP:NFCC #8, since many/all of the non-free images are designs not specifically referred to in the text by externally sourced commentary. If you have concerns about this issue, your are invited to discuss it at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Numismatics#Usage_of_non-free_images. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 19:54, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
- How does the allowance for use for educational purposes, as claimed by the fair use rationales, play a role here? It's clear that there are some pretty heavy restrictions on reproducing currency, obviously, but in this case it's stated that use in this case is expressly allowed, no? Lara 16:34, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
- If our only requirement was to abide by fair use law, there would be no prohibition on using non-free content in this way. It's clearly within fair use law requirements, especially so given our educational mission. But, our burden is far heavier than that. This response might serve to help shed light on why. --Hammersoft (talk) 17:15, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
- I realize all that you note. Free encyclopedia with the goal of using only freely licensed images and all. Got it, but there are exceptions and I think there must always be. It seems to me that currency would be one such exception considering it cannot be released under a free license. Doing so would destroy the integrity and value of the currency. When reproduction is expressly permitted for on-screen reproduction for the purposes of education, which Wikipedia can make claim to, I believe it does a disservice to our readers to pass on the opportunity in a case such as this. Our refusal can, in no way, influence the release of these images under a free license.
- On a related note, this image is the only one that was left in the article and it seems to fail fair use requirements based on the copyright tag, Queen Elizabeth's image falling under property of The Crown, unless I've read that incorrectly. Based on the above, it seems to me that it would be acceptable by copyright law, a benefit to our readers, and a reasonable exception to our Fair Use policy to include the reverse side images of these banknotes.

- Wikipedia doesn't lay claim to educational use as a defense in use of non-free images. It's far stricter than that. We are not a catalog. Including every image of a series of coins (even if free!) is outside our scope. --Hammersoft (talk) 18:09, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
