Template:Non-free reduce

This non-free media file should be replaced with a smaller version to comply with Wikipedia's non-free content policy and United States copyright law. According to Wikipedia's policy for non-free content, the amount of copyrighted work used under fair use should be as little as possible. In particular, non-free media on Wikipedia should not be usable as substitutes for the original work. A high-resolution non-free image is questionable fair use and may be deleted per Wikipedia's copyright policy.

In most cases, this reduction will occur automatically: simply wait 24 hours and a robot will resize the image file. Where this does not occur, the size of an image may be reduced manually in an image editing program, or by saving and re-uploading a suitably sized thumbnail.

Once a reduced version of this file has been uploaded: Please replace this template with {{subst:orfurrev}} (through source edit) or {{Orphaned non-free revisions|date=8 January 2025}} (through VisualEditor or Twinkle).
