I'm not sure that File:My Father's Tears and Other Stories cover art for 2009 collection, Alfred A. Knopf.jpg needs to be licensed as non-free since it appears to be nothing more that the book's title and the author's name on a sky-blue background. Since the book was published by an American publishing company, this would seem to be too simple for copyright protection per c:COM:TOO United States. The file's non-free use doesn't seem to be problematic per se; the file just doesn't seem to need to be treated as non-free. Any opinions regarding whether this needs to remain non-free? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 12:33, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
File:Edouard Pinaud, Ed. Pinaud.jpg looks more like an advertisement incorporating a colorized/sepia public domain image of
Édouard Pinaud who died in 1868. The source cited is "France, Digital Crown Holdings Limited" and there's also a link to

Given that File:Scars Upon My Heart advertisement.jpg is nothing but factual information expressed as simple text, which is usually not considered eligible for copyright protection, it seems that this advertisement doesn't need to be treated as non-free. Since it's from the UK, though, it might not be something acceptable to move to Commons per c:COM:UK, but it should be OK to relicense as {{ PD-ineligible-USonly}} for local use on Wikipedia. Any reason why this should remain non-free? If it does need to remain non-free, then I don't think it's use meet WP:FREER and WP:NFC#CS. Finally, regardless of the file's copyright status, there might be an issue with MOS:TEXTASIMAGES since it essentially is an image of what's written in Scars Upon My Heart#Adaptations. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 20:03, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
I have an old Quikut knife with the blade still in its cardboard sleeve, which has a lifetime warranty printed on it. I recall my family bought it in the 1970s.
I took a picture of the knife blade next to the sleeve. The warranty verbiage is similar to this, although my version says in big capital letters that the warranty is valid "EVEN IF THE DAMAGE IS YOUR FAULT". I'd like to add my photo to the Ginsu article, which discusses the Quikut brand extensively.
Would this be a non-free image? Is this warranty text copyrighted? If so, the low resolution required would wash out the text, so it may not be worth uploading. ~ Anachronist ( talk) 19:19, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

No. Even the image has a rationale for the page used, it still removes. I also got this userbox's emblem removed without asking me. I've read the revision summary that the bot left and it said removed NFCC violations. At that time I was so confused that I thought the bot is attempting to thwart my contributions away like a trash. It skips the rationale and removes without notice, like this userbox. Kys5g talk! 03:29, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
I am working on creating a sample for my draft of User:TonyTheTiger/sandbox/Go New York Go. The original 1994 version of the song is 92 seconds. I imagine that I am limited to less than the usual 30 seconds for a sample but I am not sure what the sampling limits are for such a short song.- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:12, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
