In-game screenshot of Nintendo 64 version of Space Invaders
Description: Screenshot from the Nintendo 64 version of Space Invaders. I took this image myself, but all of the visual elements are individually part of Activision's copyrighted work; therefore, it is eligible only for fair-use redistribution within the United States.
License: Fair use (to accompany an article describing the game; this is consistent with English Wikipedia's practice for almost all other commercial videogame articles, as well as almost all published game reviews, guides, etc.)
The entire poster. Because the image is a post, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original post. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as poster art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. to serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the work in question. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original work, namely the post creator's ability to provide poster design services and in turn marketing poster to the public.
As a Poster, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the book would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. Using a different image in the infobox would be misleading as to the identity of the work. Any derivative work based upon the cover art would be a copyright violation, so creation of a free image is not possible.
The use of the poster will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the poster.

Description: A low-resolution crop of the historical portrait of Omu Okwei reproduced as the plate facing page 91 in Felicia Ifeoma Ekejiuba's chapter “Omu Okwei of Osomari”, in Bolanle Awe (ed.), Nigerian Women in Historical Perspective (Sankore, 1992). The National Library of Nigeria scan places the portrait on PDF page 98 (printed plate page 90).
License: Non-free biographical image / fair use. Omu Okwei died in 1943, no freely licensed portrait of her is known, and a single low-resolution image would be used only for visual identification in the infobox of her biography. The use is minimal, educational and non-commercial; it would not replace the market for the original photograph or book, and no free equivalent could be created.
Link to license information: The scholarly source and image provenance are given in the National Library of Nigeria scan above. The underlying photograph's author and copyright status are not identified in the publication, so a conservative non-free-use rationale is requested rather than a Commons upload.
Author/copyright holder's name: Photographer unknown; portrait reproduced by Felicia Ifeoma Ekejiuba / Sankore Publishers in 1992.
Article to be used on/reason for upload:Omu Okwei. The subject is a deceased historical figure, and the article currently has no image that identifies her. The requested file should be uploaded locally to English Wikipedia at low resolution and placed once in the biography's infobox with an appropriate non-free biographical-image tag and rationale.
This request has been placed on hold because the url provided does not lead to an image, or is otherwise broken. In order to upload the file it must be available on the internet. If a working url isn't provided within seven days, the request will be declined. Squawk7700 (talk) 08:34, 4 September 2026 (UTC)

Thomas the Tank Engine 1950.webp
On hold until 29 October 2026
This file is NOT a reupload. The current file that exists in the infobox of the Thomas the Tank Engine page is an AI generated recreation of the actual original illustration found in this fandom link. I'm assuming the uploader of that file wasn't aware of it as I don't see the purpose of doing that. If you'd like to take action on that AI generated upload yourself, might be better?? I'm not sure how this works, that's why I'm here.
Summary
File information
Description
An illustration of Thomas the Tank Engine by Clarence Reginald Dalby.
This is the character artwork for Thomas the Tank Engine. Further details: The 1950 revision of the first illustration of Thomas the Tank Engine as illustrated by Reginald Payne.
The logo is of a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution.
The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing Thomas the Tank Engine, a subject of public interest. The significance of the character artwork is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey.
Because it is a non-free character artwork, there is almost certainly no free representation. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.

Thank you. Disclosure: I am paid by Pro-Fun Media GmbH, the group XMO belongs to. The licensing information is in the request above: it is the channel's own logo, taken from its official website, with a non-free logo tag and a non-free use rationale for the infobox of the XMO article. I am happy for the request to stay on hold until the AfD closes. If the article is kept, please go ahead with the upload; if it ends as a redirect, the request can be closed, since there would be no article to use the logo in.

—Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-56638-18 (talk)
The existing File:Nauru Olympic Committee logo.jpg is the old logo. This is the new 2024 logo for Naoero Amo. Source is official Facebook https://www.facebook.com/NaoeroNOC/~2026-56638-18 (talk) 15:54, 23 October 2026 (UTC)
Hi! I see the differences and would consider the upload , however I'm unable to find a image fit for upload, the only one available on facebook is the profile picture which is round and https://www.olympics.com/ioc/naoero still features the old one. Do you have any other source with a properly rendered version? Best, squawk7700 (talk) 18:17, 23 October 2026 (UTC)
