Reviewing requests

If you are an experienced editor, then you can help out by reviewing requests. Make sure you're familiar with Wikipedia's policies on non-free content (or simplified version). Learn about Wikipedia's various copyright tags. Read the guide on how to review file upload requests. Note that this page's editnotice contains an expandable cheat sheet with all the templates used in reviewing requests. After uploading the file tag its talk page with {{subst:WPAFCF}}. Remember to subst all templates. Notify the requester at their talk page using {{subst:ffu talk}} ~~~~ whenever you act on their request. You are responsible for anything you upload, so make sure you are comfortable that the file satisfies Wikipedia's policies first. If the file is non-free, then you must insert the file in the appropriate article right away in order to comply with the non-free content criteria.

Comment: From the Kronberger 61 article:

The nebula is within a relatively small area which is currently being monitored by NASA’s Kepler planet finding mission and the light of the nebula is primarily due to the emissions from doubly-ionized oxygen.

You'll have to excuse my ignorance in this topic area, but I'll need clarification about something to upload this image as fair use. If NASA has a planet-finding mission monitoring this area, how is the following valid in your fair use rationale: "No free image of this planetary nebula exists, and there is no expectation that one will over become available"? NASA's images are Public Domain ({{PD-USGov-NASA}}). How can we say that there is no expectation that NASA will produce a free image? --Nick⁠—⁠^Contact/_Contribs 05:01, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

OK, then:

1. No free image of this planetary nebula exists yet.

Now upload. --189.106.232.100 (talk) 18:53, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello, and thank you for your request. As this is a "free" file and you are registered, please login to the Wikimedia Commons (using your Wikipedia username and password) and upload the file there. If you have any problems uploading the file to the Commons please reply back here. Regards. Please note: This image will only be retained on Commons (per their project scope) if it has encyclopedic value. Your user page has been deleted for being overly promotional. If you intend to create a userpage which complies with our guidelines, in that it discusses yourself in the context of Wikipedia, then the image would be safe to upload and use in that capacity. However, using it on advertisement-like pages which are subsequently deleted would probably lead to the image being deleted as well. Nick⁠—⁠^Contact/_Contribs 16:06, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
