Your edits to Battle of Agincourt

Hi. Thanks for your recent edits and assessment on Battle of Agincourt. In the lead paragraph I'm just about to move a reference concerning the date calculation closer to the material it supports and it occurs to me that one of the opinions there—the victory as "unexpected" —stands out as not having a source. Is there one to go with it? Best. --Old Moonraker (talk) 16:26, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply on my talk page. I see that another editor has stepped in and fixed it with some re-wording—all good stuff! The "Britain" to "England" change is to reflect the countries as they were at the time. Best. --Old Moonraker (talk) 18:59, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Colberg t.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? J Milburn (talk) 15:32, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Is there any particular reason a free image of this subject could not be produced? Generally, non-free images of living people are only allowed if they are known recluses, in prison or something similar. There needs to be a very good reason why a free image could not be created.

That's not the way it works- please see the non-free content criteria. If a free image could be created, then we cannot use a non-free image. J Milburn (talk) 16:00, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

The image will not be deleted for a few days. Remember that permission for Wikipedia to use the image is not enough- instead, it must be released under a free license or into the public domain. For more information, see this how-to guide. J Milburn (talk) 16:10, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
